Strengthening starts from the county magistrate

Li Chaoci returned the remaining elixir to Shen Mu, but he didn't realize that he was such a stubborn person before.

But in fact, this is also a point that Shen Mu values ​​more, if not, maybe he would have left it and ignored it.

Before anyone comes into contact with this huge world of monks, his heart will be more or less the same as Li Chaoci.

At the beginning, he had a longing for the strong, but before he was infected, he still had some principles.

It's just that the longer you fear power, the more you will lose your original intention, thus losing the original purity and freedom.

Li Chaoci was not free and easy, and he was as timid as a mouse, but fortunately he still had some principles. It would be a pity if such a person died halfway.

...

Only three of us ate at breakfast.

Shen Mu, Li Chaoci and Qiu Lian, as for Wang Pan and Baili Luosang, were nowhere to be seen.

Wangpan Shenmu knew about it, he had already discussed it last night, and he needed some time to confirm the specific location of the underground palace.

Ting Yan Mansion seems to have complicated terrain and loose rules, but in fact it is not as simple as it appears on the surface.

In almost every area where villages and towns gather, there are secret sentries conducting inspections, and these people pretend to be like outsider monks, and their level is not low.

This is not surprising for Shen Mu. If there is no strict deployment, such a large county may have been messed up long ago.

Therefore, those who say that the Tingyan Mansion does not control much are purely joking.

It's just that Wang Pan's absence is understandable, but Shen Mu was a little surprised that Baili Luosang was missing.

But the good thing is that he doesn't need to worry about the other party's safety. In terms of realm strength, according to Cao Zhengxiang's words, maybe his little nephew is the most powerful.

After Li Chaoci finished his porridge, he suddenly said, "Brother Shen, what's your plan next? Are you waiting here for Miss Li to meet?"

Shen Mu looked at Qiu Lian, then nodded: "Well, I'll just wait here, and Miss Qiu Lian is not suitable for walking outside, the Xie family probably has searched extensively by now."

Li Chaoci: "Well, it's safe to do so."

Shen Mu looked at him and asked back: "What about you? Although the Xie family may have ignored you for the time being, after all, you were the one who quarreled with him before his death, and you will be found sooner or later."

Li Chaoci smiled helplessly: "I am an outer disciple of Daoxuan Mountain, how can I have that ability? Besides, I received a notice from the head teacher of the North Peak of Daoxuan Mountain last night. In a few days, Daoxuan Mountain will come There is an assembly in Tingyan Mansion."

Shen Mu was stunned: "Come to Tingyan Mansion? Didn't I hear you say before that you are going to the capital city of Nanjing?"

Li Chaoci shook his head and said with a smile: "It was true that I was going to gather in the capital city of Nanjing before, but something has happened these few days. The news of the sect is constantly being revised. I also received an exact order last night to let all Daoxuan Shan’s disciples going to Nanjing, no matter the inner sect or the outer sect, all came to Ting Yan Mansion to gather.”

Shen Mu nodded slightly, thinking about something.

Li Chaoci smiled and said: "Haha, but from this point of view, the third brother Shen's choice this time is really wrong, so I will save me another detour, and the Tingyan Mansion will wait for the people from the Zongmen to come immediately." Can."

At this moment, Shen Mu ignored Li Chaoci's words.

Although this is just the gathering information of Daoxuan Mountain's disciples.

But it is obvious that through an order from Daoxuan Mountain, some external situations can be analyzed from it.

After all, the actions of a big sect will not be prepared to come to Tingyan Mansion for no reason.

So it is very possible that Daoxuan Mountain, and these top sects like them, have discovered the information of the underground palace.

Recalling that after entering Tingyanfu County yesterday, it seems that I have met many people from the sect. If I didn't just pass by, it must have been arranged.

Apparently, things are moving faster than expected.

At first, Shen Mu thought that the news about the underground palace would take some time to be exposed.

It turned out that it was only a few days, and there was already trouble.

The sects who came this time are more numerous than the blessed land in the borderlands, so the next competition may not be small, and it will be more dangerous.

...

...

...

A few days passed quickly.

There are more and more people in Tian Ting Yan Mansion these days, and it can be clearly felt that the number of monks in Outer Continents has increased, and even the fringe areas where Shen Mu lives are crowded with people.

These days he is still relatively low-key, except for observing news going out, the rest of the time is almost spent in the inn.

By observing Shen Mu, he basically has an understanding of the sect forces coming from the Ting Yan Mansion.

Three super sects from Central China came, and the Great Qin Dynasty also came. In addition, major families, as well as other continents, more or less came to Daxiu.

And the location where these forces are scattered is also very particular.

Powerful existences such as Daoxuan Mountain, Lingjian Mountain, and the Great Qin Dynasty lived in the inner area of ​​Tingyan Mansion.

As for the other small sects, the weaker they are, the more marginal they are.

Arriving at the location of Shen Mu's inn, there are three teachings and nine streams, all kinds of miscellaneous sects, and casual cultivators who join in the fun and try their luck.

But it's normal to think about it. If the underground palace is located in the Tingyan Mansion, then it is obvious that the core area is the focus of the investigation.

And fighting for the remnants of the Heavenly Dao is not something that small people can intervene in, so many people are quite self-aware.

Once the remnants of the Heavenly Dao appear in the world, the final battle for the competition must be the overhaul of the tenth floor above the Ascension Realm. If you are unlucky, you may be involved and killed.

Therefore, those with a weaker background would rather try their luck outside, even if they were unlucky, it would be better to watch this grand event of the Heavenly Dao Remnants.

In the past few days, Shen Mu contacted the Three Pigs, Dogs and Apes once through the Order of Nothingness.

Originally, I just wanted to talk to see what the Yaozu's arrangement was.

As a result, there was a big news.

It is said that it is the hole of nothingness, and a very powerful demon clan, the executor of the eleventh level, the great demon, has been sent!
Shen Mu was a little surprised by this news.

So far, in the county of Tingyan Mansion, among the leaders of the major sects he has seen, the strongest should be the existence of the tenth floor.

After all, there are agreed rules between the continents and the sects, to compete for the remnants of the Heavenly Dao, and not to send out people of too high a level, otherwise the world will be in chaos.

Therefore, if the major sects are led by the tenth floor overhaul.

And the big desert monsters are all executors of the tenth or even the eleventh realm, so they might be caught off guard.

Shen Mu decided to make preparations early, in his opinion, this time is probably a job of pulling teeth out of a tiger's mouth.

...

outside the inn.

Shen Mu bid farewell to Li Chaoci.

In the past few days, people from Daoxuan Mountain have assembled, and he, an outer disciple, has to go there too.

"Brother Shen, you have to be careful in the future. I have a background in Daoxuan Mountain, so nothing will happen to the Xie family, but it is too dangerous for you to take Miss Qiulian with you. After Miss Li comes, you should go back Fengjiang, when I have a chance in the future, I will go to Fengjiang to see you, of course, I also have to see that charismatic City Lord Shen."

Li Chaoci looked sad.

Shen Mu smiled helplessly, "superb style is a good word, am I right in front of you?"
"Okay, you should also be careful, once the fight starts, try to hide as far away as possible."

After watching Li Chao resign and leave.

Shen Mu just returned to the inn.

But as soon as he opened the door of the room, his expression changed slightly!
Wang Pan is back.

"What happened?"

Wang Pan's face was pale, with scars all over his body, and his breath was weak.

"This Ting Yan Mansion...underground palace, there is a problem..."
