Sword Emperor of the Astonishing Sky

"Senior Brother Mu Huaqing, what do you mean when you say these words to me?"

Lin Bai was very confused. He could understand every word that Senior Brother Mu Huaqing said, but he didn't understand the deep meaning.

Mu Huaqing smiled and said: "It's nothing interesting. I just want to remind you that the road to the Holy Son is not that easy. Even if the Tianshui Sect is in decline today, the position of the Holy Son is still coveted by countless people. s things."

"I will not interfere in the contest between you and Li Yuanzong, but the premise is that it is a fair and just contest. If you let me know that you are playing dirty tricks behind your back, then don't blame me for being rude."

Lin Bai was stunned for a moment, and only then did he understand what Mu Huaqing meant.

To put it simply, if Lin Bai and Li Yuanzong were competing for the position of the Holy Son, he would not intervene.

But if Lin Bai wanted to plot against Li Yuanzong, Mu Huaqing would not stand idly by.

Lin Bai asked with a smile: "What if Li Yuanzong played a dirty trick first?"

Mu Huaqing's face darkened. He really felt that Li Yuanzong would do this, so he said, "Then it's up to you."

Lin Bai smiled and stared at the scenery in the distance without saying anything else.

Originally, Lin Bai thought that Mu Huaqing came here to deal with him at the invitation of Li Yuanzong, but what Mu Huaqing said now seemed that he did not have such deep hostility towards Lin Bai.

It's not like Li Yuanzong hired a helper to deal with Lin Bai.

But these words alone could not dispel Lin Bai's suspicion of Mu Huaqing, and he was always wary of him.

…

The spirit boat flew across thousands of mountains and rivers and arrived at the hinterland of Haizhou.

In the hinterland of Haizhou, there is a deserted mountain range.

The mountains here used to be within the territory of Chu State, and it was a holy land of martial arts that everyone aspired to.

Because this place is the former site of the Mountain Gate of the Huanggu Sect.

The Huanggu Sect was once one of the most powerful sects in the Chu Kingdom, but for unknown reasons, it was destroyed in the hands of the enemy.

After the fall of the Ancient Ancient Sect, this mountain range began to become deserted and uncared for.

Between the ravines inside and outside the mountains, long-broken palaces and buildings can still be vaguely seen.

The beautiful carvings on the palace buildings demonstrate the glory and legend of this place.

Even though the Ancient Ancient Sect has been destroyed for many years, many disciples have come here to hunt for treasures, trying to find the peerless treasures left behind by the Ancient Ancient Sect.

Don't look down on them. Someone once dug out a priceless elixir in these ruins.

Boom!

Above the clouds, there was a sudden burst of thunder.

Many treasure-hunting warriors in the mountains raised their heads and looked up into the sky.

I saw a spiritual boat as huge as a mountain, breaking through the clouds, flying down to low altitude, and moving forward close to the mountains.

Seeing this spirit boat, countless warriors immediately retreated.

There is no other reason, just because the flag of "Heaven and Earth Gate" is hung on this spiritual boat.

Within the splints of the spirit boat's cabin, countless warriors looked down at the once glorious land below.

"Is this the former site of the ancient mountain gate of the Huanggu Sect?"

"It's so magnificent!"

"Even if the Ancient Ancient Sect has been destroyed for many years, the spiritual energy of the mountains here is still so abundant?"

"Why didn't anyone choose this place to be the mountain gate?"

On the spirit boat, many Tiandimen disciples looked at the mountains and couldn't help but sigh that the spiritual energy of this place was extremely prosperous.

At this moment, an old Taoist walked out of the cabin. It was the Taiyi powerhouse that Lin Bai had seen on the Water Mirror Sea.

The old Taoist tossed the fly whisk and said with a smile: "Why does no one dare to choose this place as the mountain gate? In fact, the reason is very simple... First, you need to know the reason why the Ancient Ancient Sect collapsed. Second, you need to know that although this place is not the Tianshui Sect, territory, but it is within the sphere of influence of Tianshui Sect."

"I have met the elder." Many Tiandimen disciples clasped their fists and saluted.

The old Taoist smiled and nodded, looked at the mountains and said: "The mountains here are called the 'Lingyun Xuantian Mountains'. They are one of the seven major spiritual veins in Haizhou, and are as famous as the 'Bibo Spiritual Veins' of the Tianshui Sect and Shuijinghai. .”

"In the past, when the Ancient Ancient Sect was prosperous, it was able to keep pace with the Tianshui Sect. Unfortunately, later on, the Ancient Ancient Sect took the wrong path, but was caught by the Tianshui Sect, which led to the destruction of the Ancient Ancient Sect."

Many disciples of the Tiandi Sect were puzzled and asked: "Elder, what mistake did the Huanggu Sect make?"

The old man smiled, and before he could explain, a young man walked out of the cabin.

He said first: "We are in alliance with Jiuyou Demon Palace."

Everyone looked back and saw the young man. They bowed their heads and saluted: "I have seen Senior Brother Yu Lianqin."

Yu Liantan, this place has a well-known name in Tiandimen.

Tiandimen divides two courtyards, one is named Tianmen and the other is named Dimen.

Tianmen is equivalent to the inner disciples within an ordinary sect.

The Dimen is equivalent to the outer disciples of ordinary sects.

But the rules for accepting disciples at Tianmen and Dimen are extremely strict.

Only after reaching the realm of Taoism and passing trials can one be promoted to Tianmen.

Therefore, within the Tiandi Sect, there are millions of disciples of the Earth Sect, but there are only tens of thousands of disciples of the Tianmen.

Then the tens of thousands of disciples within Tianmen will be ranked on a list based on their strength, which is called the "Tian Ranking".

The rules of competition in the Heavenly Ranking of the Heaven and Earth Sect are extremely cruel, and are far more valuable than the Tianshui Dao Divine Ranking.

Moreover, now when the Tiandi Sect is still at its peak, there are many strong people under the sect, such as a forest of masters, everyone is like a dragon, and geniuses emerge in large numbers.

This also led to the ranking on the Heavenly Ranking, which made all warriors crazy.

It is no exaggeration to say that any one of the top fifty warriors on the Heavenly Ranking of Tiandi Sect who comes to Tianshui Sect is enough to sweep all the warriors on the Tianshui Dao Divine Ranking except Lin Bai.

And with a cultivation level like Li Yuanzong's, if he went to the Gate of Heaven and Earth, he might not even be qualified to enter the Heaven Ranking.

This warrior named "Yu Liantan" is a disciple of the Tianmen within the Tiandimen, and is ranked eighteenth on the Heavenly Ranking.

Ranking high will naturally be respected by the disciples inside and outside the Tiandi Sect.

Yu Liantan walked to Lao Dao, bowed respectfully, and immediately said: "Elder, am I right? The real reason for the collapse of the Ancient Ancient Sect is that they are in alliance with the Nine Nether Demon Palace."

The old Taoist smiled and said: "Yes, that's exactly why. The battle a hundred thousand years ago involved too many things."

Many disciples suddenly came to their senses and spat: "It turns out that the Ancient Ancient Sect is an ally of the Nine Nether Demon Palace. No wonder they will be destroyed."

"Bah, you deserve it!"

The Nine Nether Demon Palace is notorious in the Eastern Region of the Demon Realm, and everyone calls for beatings.

The old Taoist smiled meaningfully, with a cunning light in his eyes: "But what evidence is there? At that time, Tianshui Sect said that Huanggu Sect was an ally of Jiuyou Demon Palace, and the sect's power was used to cooperate with both inside and outside Haizhou. The alliance of warriors will destroy the Ancient Ancient Sect."

"But in the end... Tianshui Sect did not provide any strong evidence to prove that the Ancient Ancient Sect and the Nine Nether Demon Palace are allies."
