Refusing to ascend at the beginning

Chapter 226 Returning to the Cave Mansion
In order not to be tracked, Su Han and the other five people were very careful and made a large circle in Middle-earth.

This move seemed a bit over the top. After all, with the level of cultivation Lu Sen and others had after being imprisoned, they would not dare to pursue them openly.

On the other hand, when they left the Qing Chi Sword Sect, they erased all traces and moved quickly. Even if Lu Sen and others recovered their cultivation, it would be too late to chase them out.

However, caution can always lead to a ten thousand year ship. This is the principle they have adhered to since they have been walking in the darkness for so long.

The group of people left the Qing Chi Sword Sect in the night, until the eastern sky turned white and the morning glow dyed the clouds red, and then the sun set over the western mountains. The total distance they traveled covered almost half of the Middle-earth continent, and then they finally entered. Deer Mountain Mountains.

Moving along the mountains, they came to the "Niaohuitou" cliff.

Guo Taigao and others arrived at the final destination and looked at the surrounding scenery, feeling a little strange.

He then asked: "Although this place is inaccessible, it is in the center of the Middle-earth continent after all, and it is not too far from the Eastern Fairyland. Why not hide in the more distant Western Demonic Land?"

Xian Yi also nodded and said: "It's not safe here. Hand over Xian Er. We, Xian Hen, will have a safer place to place her."

Just like Xu Lele was worried about handing over the young senior sister to Xian Hen, Xian Yi was also worried about handing over Xian Er to them like this, and wanted to "save" Xian Er back.

After all, the two parties had only known each other for three days, and Su Han only met for the first time last night.

In addition to Guo Taigao's ambiguous attitude because he knew Su Han's identity, the level of trust between the two parties was not very high.After Cheng Yingyue fell into a deep sleep, the bond between them was severed.

Xu Lele shook his head and rejected them, saying: "I will not hand her over to you. If she is still awake, she will agree to us sending her back here. I brought you here to let you know her whereabouts and safety. , is our last concession, there is no need to talk about the rest."

He is naturally optimistic and casual, but when faced with matters involving the people closest to him, his tone becomes undeniably tough.

Xian Yi was silent for a moment and said, "Is it time to explain why Xian Er fell into such a state? Why was her ascension interrupted?"

"Why do you say you won't let her die?" He looked at Su Han, "And you, what is your identity?"

Su Han glanced at him indifferently and just said: "Do you still know about Immortal Chi He and Heavenly Demon of Paradise?"

Xian Yi was stunned for a moment, not knowing why he asked this question, but he still nodded and said: "This is natural. Those are the two most talented practitioners in the world of cultivation for more than [-] years."

"Then you should know what each of them said before they ascended."

Xianyi and others were stunned, and after thinking about it for a moment, they frowned.

At the last moment of his ascension, before the crack was completely closed, Chi and Xianren heard the words "wrong".

And the Heavenly Demon of Paradise, who only ascended after tens of thousands of years, also said "It's really wrong."

These two "wrongs" are unsolved mysteries that have been circulating in the spiritual world for a long time, but no one has ever solved them, and no one knows what is wrong.

After Guo Taigao thought carefully, he had a rough guess in his mind, but this guess was too bold, making him look grim and unusual.

He asked uncertainly: "Is there anything wrong with the door to ascension pushed open by worldly practitioners? Once you step in... will it mean death?"

Hearing his words, the immortals and immortals next to them were all startled and surprised. They all turned to look at Su Han and Xu Lele.

Su Yu lowered his eyes and said, "Probably."

Hearing this, Guo Taigao's face turned pale.

Xianyi and Xiansan looked at each other, and the latter said angrily: "That's nonsense. How dare a small practitioner of the Four Realms dare to make false remarks here? You..."

Guo Taigao stretched out his hand to interrupt Xian San, who looked at him blankly.

But he saw his own Shanhen's pale face.

Xu Lele said lightly: "I can also testify to this. Have you ever thought about why her magic lotus is golden, but all the practitioners of the Demon Qi Pian in the world are black?

"Have you ever thought about how we can do anything to her if she doesn't want to, based on her state after she opened the door of ascension and our cultivation base?"

The face under the mask of Xian San slowly lost color as the former said. He asked with difficulty: "Stepping into the Gate of Ascension is equivalent to death? Is this true? Xian Er... also knows about this. , that’s why you voluntarily gave up on ascension?”

Xu Lele nodded slightly.

At this moment, Xian Yi and Xian San looked like Guo Taigao, their faces were pale under the mask, they opened their mouths, a little speechless.

Even though there are countless people in their hearts who don't want to believe it, no matter it's the performance of Shanhen, Xian Er's abandonment of ascension, and her distinctive golden magic lotus, they all seem to be talking about the road of cultivation and the gate of ascension, as if It's not as simple as they thought.

When they embark on the path of spiritual practice, they want to ascend and transcend this world to seek immortality.

But after thousands of years of hard work and standing at the top of the world, they were suddenly told that the path they were taking was wrong and wrong?
At this moment, their eyes were a little dazed, and their faith also collapsed.

Guo Taigao on the side was also digesting these words that subverted his world view. Although there were countless turmoils in his heart, he still firmly grasped a life-saving straw——

He suddenly looked up at Su Han and asked, "But there is still a way to open the right door to ascension, right?"

If not, why would the Traceless Demon be reborn?
Su Xuan was silent for a moment, noncommittal.

After all, in this life, he was just trying, and he hadn't reached the end yet, and he didn't know if he was on the right path.

It is also possible that after the Mo Qi Pian and the Xian Yuan Pian are practiced together, he will lose his sanity at the end of the era like the practitioners of the first era.

In the end, he could only answer: "Probably."

Guo Taigao looked at Su Regret, but he didn't get a positive answer from the latter. He also immediately understood that the latter should be trying at the moment, exploring the way little by little while being blindfolded, and being a pioneer.

No matter what, as long as there is a glimmer of hope, that's fine.

He looked at Xianyi and Xiansan and nodded to the latter, telling them not to be so desperate.

The two of them were still a little unable to relax, and they forced themselves to nod to Guo Taigao, but they were a little confused. Shan Hen seemed to value Su Han very much, and he didn't know why.

Guo Taigao took a deep breath to calm down the turmoil in his heart, then looked at Cheng Yingyue and asked: "What happened to the Second Immortal? Did he suffer a backlash when he closed the door to ascension?"

Su Xuan briefly explained the reason and told them that he had a way to recover her, and then the three of them suddenly realized.

After the misunderstanding was resolved, Guo Taigao said thoughtfully: "Actually, our Xianhen also has a safe enough place to place her in the West Demonic Land. Isn't it safe enough here?"

Xu Lele shook his head and didn't argue any more. He waved his hand towards the cliff, and the blind formation he had set up suddenly disappeared, revealing a deep cave entrance. There was also a word "Su" written on the inner wall of the cave entrance - it was Su. I regret the mark left after I came here to pick up items when I was first reborn.

After the entrance of the cave appeared, Guo Taigao and the other three had a strange expression on their faces.

Their spiritual thoughts noticed that there was a sword formation at the entrance of the cave, and they immediately understood why Xu Lele insisted on keeping the Silk-Tangled Demon here.

The horror of this sword formation was far beyond their imagination!
Su Zhen hugged Cheng Yingyue and entered the cave with Xu Lele, while Guo Taigao and the others stayed outside and waited.

After the figures of the two people in the passage disappeared, Xian Yi suddenly asked: "Shan Hen, what is the origin of this Su Regret? Why do you pay more attention to his opinion than to the other person? He... shouldn't be ordinary The four realms, right?”

Guo Taigao shook his head and said, "You don't have to ask me. He doesn't want to tell himself, and I can't do it for him."

Xianyi and Xiansan looked at each other.

In other words, the identity of the other party is actually scruples about the mountain marks?Have to consider the other person’s feelings?
The two of them looked at the deep entrance of the cave and silently guessed at Su Han's identity.

……

……

Su Han and Xu Lele brought Cheng Yingyue back to her stone-walled room a thousand years ago.

The space here is much larger than the room where Su Han's remains were and Xu Lele's room.

The room was filled with wooden boxes of various sizes, and there were many cabinets placed against the walls.

The wooden boxes and cabinets are filled with many novel small objects.

These things were all collected when she was a child. When she was a child, there were so many things that she couldn't put them down, so she asked Su Han to expand the place several times.

She is a very nostalgic person, and even after she grows up, she never throws away the things she owns, so the room still maintains the same appearance as when she lived here before.

Su Xuan put her back on the stone bed which was cut very flat.

The two stood next to the stone bed and looked at the latter.

After a long time, Xu Lele suddenly said: "In the future, I will visit my senior sister often. Anyway, this place is not very far from the sect. It only takes one day."

Su Han nodded, said "hmm" and said, "How long have you been out? Will disappearing for so long arouse any suspicion?"

Xu Lele shook his head, "Three months ago, I went to the Qingchi Sword Sect to ask Lu Sen's important person, and I had a dispute with him. After returning to the sect, I closed the door to see people because I was in a bad mood, and then I sneaked out. There’s no problem.”

Then, as if he remembered something, he asked: "By the way, senior brother, during your time at Wuchu Peak, did you have any clues about finding the dragon scale fragments?"

Su Han turned around and walked out of the room, returned to the passage, and said, "Follow me."

Xu Lele followed him and went to his remains.

His mind moved slightly, and a new skeleton appeared in the field.

Xu Lele was stunned and said uncertainly: "Is this Master?"

Seeing Su Han nodding, Xu Lele immediately stepped forward, looked at the skeleton in front of him with emotion, and said: "Master, my disciple Xu Lele is here to pay homage to you..."

After saying that, he respectfully bowed to the skeleton.

After standing up, he saw Su Han taking out two dragon scale fragments and showing them to him.

"I found Master's remains and the second dragon scale fragment in Wuchu Peak..."

Afterwards, Su Han told Xu Lele in detail what he experienced in the depths of Wuchufeng Sword Prison.

Including the process of his acquaintance with Guo Taigao, and the fact that the latter roughly guessed his identity after the afterimage of his master's spiritual thoughts appeared.

There is also a corner of the truth about the demon tide and the black stone platform, as well as everything that happened to the master back then.

There is also the content of the second dragon scale fragment, about the six veins of sparks and the help of the true dragon.

Each secret that was enough to overturn the entire world of cultivation hit Xu Lele like waves after waves, making him stunned.

After being stunned for a long time, he digested everything and murmured: "So, there is also a black stone platform in the forbidden area of ​​Yuanyang Immortal Sect... The sect leader, as well as several immortal elders, are all demonic tides An accomplice?"

Su Xuan looked at him and nodded.

Xu Lele was speechless, and after a long while he suddenly said: "That's not right, I am also a Supreme Elder, why don't I know anything?"

"Your identity as Supreme Elder was obtained when the most senior Immortal Jiming in the sect accepted you as a disciple. According to your character, if you knew about this matter, you would not only not compromise, but also not give up. Then It is natural for the Sect Master to have more things to do than to have less things to do."

Xu Lele frowned and remained silent, saying seriously: "When I go back, I will definitely..."

Su Han interrupted him, "Don't alert the enemy. At least I can't act rashly until my cultivation level has recovered to the point where I can look down on the cultivation world."

Xu Lele nodded silently, but he didn't know what he was thinking, a little absent-minded.

"It's over here, you should go back to Yuanyang Xianzong first. The attack on Qingchi Sword Sect should have alarmed the high-level officials of the various immortal sects. You should go back and show your face earlier to avoid any suspicion."

"Okay." Xu Lele responded, and then asked: "What about you, senior brother?"

"I will rest in the cave for a while, and then I will set off to Qiye Strait to find the third dragon scale fragment. By the way, if there is a chance to go to Sin Continent to find the Fire Demon Cult to find the fourth fragment."

Xu Lele's eyes showed a trace of worry and said: "Senior Brother, with your current state, it is still a bit dangerous to go to Sin Continent. You should wait until you recover your state before going there. There is no need to rush."

Su Han nodded and said, "I have my own sense of discretion."

There was nothing else going on here, so Xu Lele went to Cheng Yingyue's room to take a look at her, and then reluctantly walked out of the cave with Su Han and returned to the cliff.

After coming out, Xian San was nowhere to be seen, and he probably left on his own.

Xu Lele and Guo Taigao left immediately after saying goodbye.

Guo Taigao saw that the Silk-Tangled Heavenly Demon had been properly settled, so he said nothing more. Just as he was about to say goodbye to Su Han, he heard the latter suddenly ask: "When we were in the Qing Chi Sword Sect last night, what was the cultivation of Immortal Ling Heng?" Why didn't you kill him because you were locked up? I remember that you entered Wuchu Peak after you failed to assassinate him. Last night was the best opportunity to assassinate him."

Guo Taigao smiled after a moment of silence and said: "Although he was trying to save you when we couldn't move, objectively speaking, he was standing in front of us and blocking the blow of the giant sword for us. I wanted to kill him. , but I don’t want to repay kindness with hatred.”

Su Han nodded and didn't ask any more questions.

Guo Taigao and the others said goodbye to him and then left.

Su Han turned around and entered the cave, waving his hand to activate the blind formation.

"The Bird Turns Back" returns to calm before the cliff.

And in the Qingchi Sword Sect in the Eastern Immortal Realm, it was much quieter than before.

Because Lu Sen called the elders from each peak to the top of the Breaking Law Peak one by one, and asked them one by one about the situation last night.

The atmosphere within the sect seemed very depressing.

An elder from Breaking Law Peak also felt a little depressed after being questioned.

He was also confused as to why the Immortal Mark people could pass through the sect-protecting formation silently, but Lu Sen asked about this matter several times, which made him break into a cold sweat.

He casually walked around the peak to relax, but suddenly he saw a woman with torn clothes and a gray face sitting under a tree crying.

He walked over with a frown and said, "Who are you, why are you crying here?"

The woman quickly stood up, wiped the tears on her face, and said, "I have met the immortal master. I am Niu Xiaoshu, the maid of Zhou Quanwu, a disciple of Pofa Peak."

Then, she said to herself: "I, I'm looking for my companion, but I can't find her... Her name is Chen Xiaoyue. Like me, she is His Highness's maid, but since last night, she suddenly disappeared. I've been looking for her alone in the peak for a long time, but I couldn't find her, and I don't know where she went. There was so much noise from the immortal masters fighting last night, she might be too scared, so..."

Niu Xiaoshu was still chattering, but when the elder was halfway through listening, his expression suddenly changed, and then he suddenly rolled up her figure and swept towards the top of the mountain.
