God rewards those who work hard: Awakening Daily Practice Settlement

"This time, you should announce your seclusion at the mountain gate... If someone asks you why your cultivation level has improved so quickly, just say that you received the inheritance from me. There is no need to explain the rest. Those who understand will understand. If you don't understand, let them come to me and I will explain it myself."

This is what Mo Changqing said specifically before they parted.

It shows that they want to protect Pei Daoye.

Pei Daoye was somewhat moved after hearing this.

There are still many good people in this world.

……

Si Cha Yuan.

After Pei Daoye left.

Mo Changqing looked at the secret letter in front of him, slowly closed it, and said casually: "From the look of you, it seems that you are not satisfied with my arrangement?"

In the shadows.

Zhou Qiran lowered his head, his expression stiff: "Disciple just feels... that he is too thoughtful."

If Mo Changqing hadn't told him, he might never have known that Pei Daoye was hiding so deeply.

"It's not a bad thing to be thoughtful. This time, you were so stubborn that you almost ruined a good thing. Although I don't know who did it, it was definitely him who brought you back."

Mo Changqing said lightly.

Zhou Qiran seemed a little touched, he lowered his head and said nothing.

Mo Changqing opened the secret letter in his hand, and then said calmly: "Someone needs to be responsible for the matter of Shangchu City. You go to the first line of defense. Come back when you break through the golden elixir."

"Disciple accepts the order."

"Any complaints?"

"No complaints."

"Go."

After Zhou Qiran left.

Mo Changqing quickly issued several instructions.

Wind chimes are ringing.

Then a man in a black robe appeared, and asked in a strange tone: "Have you really thought it through?"

“Is there still a way back now?”

Mo Changqing said lightly.

The black-robed man fell silent for a moment and said, "The Zhu faction has suffered heavy losses. If you let Xiao Zhou go to the first line of defense... I'm afraid he won't survive."

"This is the sin he caused, so naturally he has to solve it by himself." Mo Changqing glanced at him and asked, "Did the Xuanyin Sect respond?"

"not yet."

"No?"

Mo Changqing looked over with some surprise: "Did something happen?"

"All the people they arranged in Shangchu City were wiped out. Now they suspect that we were the ones behind it." The man in black robe whispered.

Mo Changqing sneered: "These guys are still unwilling to give up. Since they have no sincerity, just give them up."

"it is good."

"In addition..." Mo Changqing pondered, "For some unknown reason, the Seven Star Pavilion gave up further contact with Pei Daoye. There may be something we don't know about this."

"Should we go ask Pei Daoye?"

"We can't let him know about this yet." Mo Changqing sighed, "Since the Seven Star Pavilion has withdrawn, there is no need to involve him in this matter."

"I will investigate. However, the problems in the northwest are quite serious at this stage, and we cannot confirm which party is responsible."

The black-robed man added, "The Immortal Alliance said it wasn't them who did it."

Mo Changqing looked over when he heard this, his face expressionless: "It doesn't matter whether they are here or not. We have already got what we want. The next step is to find a way to break the impasse."

"There is still no news from the old sect leader. Will the Zhu family... turn against us?" The man in black robe looked over worriedly.

"Zhu Hetao doesn't dare, and he won't do that."

Mo Changqing said it with absolute certainty.

The man in black robe didn’t understand at first, until he heard Mo Changqing say… “If he dares, I will kill him myself before he leaves the main peak.”

……

……

Noon.

Luo Li and Senior Sister Lu are here to show their concern.

By the way, we chatted about Duan Changhou.

Mo Changqing did not break his promise and indeed arranged for an elder in the Jindan realm to come and take care of Duan Changhou.

During this period, the two of them also took on a lot of private work through Jian Ruhai, so it was not a problem for them to support themselves and they had a surplus every month.

So they both were very grateful to Pei Daoye.

When they learned that Pei Daoye was about to go into seclusion, neither of them could help much and could only pray for him, hoping that he would gain something.

Watched Luo Li and Senior Sister Lu leave.

Pei Daoye sighed in his heart.

once Upon a time.

He fantasized about being a carefree monk.

In the end, he found that this idea was too naive.

There is no such thing as a peaceful life in the world of cultivation. It's just that some people are carrying heavy burdens and moving forward.

After resting at home for less than two hours, he accompanied him to the Censorate and began to apply for a retreat. After doing all this, that night, Pei Daoye quietly went down the mountain.

I don't know if it was because Mo Changqing said hello, but he didn't meet anyone when he went down the mountain this time. He was wearing a black robe and a hat to cover his face.

When they arrived at the mountain gate, they met up with others according to Mo Changqing's instructions.

"Come with me."

A tall figure with a mask on his face.

Pei Daoye once thought that the person who followed him was a killer from Wanxiang Palace.

Silently nodded.

Following behind without saying a word.

If Mo Changqing hadn't specifically instructed him this time, he really would have been unable to resist investigating the background of the man in front of him.

Enter the inn.

Came to the basement.

"This time the mission is very simple. Stop the tomb keeper and leave me at least one stick of incense."

The man in black robe said in a hoarse voice.

I don’t know if my vocal cords were really injured.

Or did he say that on purpose?

Pei Daoye nodded, without asking any more questions. He just said, "Do you have any specific information? If I can get more information about the tomb keeper, maybe I can buy you more time."

The man in black robe glanced at him when he heard this.

After two breaths of silence.

Then he said, "There was once a tyrant king in Western Chu, and the tomb keeper is guarding his tomb..."

"Only at the Foundation Establishment Stage?"

Pei Daoye felt puzzled.

If he was just a tomb keeper at the Foundation Establishment stage.

Is it necessary for a Nascent Soul Realm giant like Mo Changqing to go to so much trouble?
"The difficulty is not the tomb keeper, but the various formations behind the tomb keeper. It took me 15 years. Now I finally found the real entrance, but I need someone to help me stop the tomb keeper. There is a strange connection between him and the formations here."

"What connection?"

"The closer we get to the back, the stronger the tomb keepers will be. How do we define them? Or are they divided into three parts? The first part is only at the Foundation Establishment stage, and the second part will be at the Golden Core stage..."

The man in black robe didn't say much. In his opinion, the mysterious monk sent by the dean only needed to be stopped in the first area.

If it cannot be stopped and allowed to rush into the second area, it will only cause more trouble for him.

But he would definitely not be able to guarantee Pei Daoye's safety at that time. "Good luck."

From then on, no more unnecessary words were spoken.

Pei Daoye's eyes moved slightly, although this guy didn't say much.

But this short passage has revealed several very important pieces of information.

The ancient ruins of Zhongzhou have always been very mysterious to him.

Whether it is Wanxiang Hall or Xuanshan Gate.

There is very little specific information and news about the ancient ruins, whether in ancient books or in various secret reports.

The two of them walked one after the other and quickly entered the underground palace.

The wind was whistling, and the seemingly harmless pure white poison barrier emitted colorful light under the wisps of virtual light.

The man in black robe passed through with ease.

Pei Daoye narrowed his eyes.

Behind the beauty lies layers of murderous intent.

"Zi!"

A strange noise was heard suddenly.

Danger lurks on every side!
Pei Daoye looked at the man in black robe, only to find that he seemed to be oblivious to what he was doing and had long been accustomed to it.

See this.

He also tightened his mind.

Secretly note the frequency of this unusual sound.

call!
After changing direction, under the guidance of the man in black robe, the two avoided the direction of the strange sound, quickly increased their speed, and continued to move forward quickly.

Ok?
I don’t know how long it took, but while walking, Pei Daoye’s perception detected... the lush green color hidden under the faint poison barrier suddenly disappeared, and was replaced by the overwhelming, boundless, yet empty yellow of sand!

“Is this… a vision?”

The black-robed man hummed calmly: "This is all an illusion. Hold your mind and follow my steps, and I will naturally make you unharmed."

Pei Daoye nodded.

Less than half a cup of tea.

Lie——lie——!
Suddenly!

An extremely sharp and piercing cry pierced the sky above the underground palace.

It swirled around the entire underground world and was extremely harsh.

The strong sound waves caused the thick fog where the sound originated to vibrate violently.

Pei Daoye and the man in black robe were no exception.

I was suddenly startled by the shrill calls that became louder and louder in my ears, and subconsciously looked towards the distant sky based on the stimulation in my heart.

"That is?"

The sword intent flowed in Pei Daoye's body, crushing this restraint. As his pupils suddenly expanded and contracted, the scene in the distance appeared completely in his field of vision through the thick fog.

In the distant clouds on the horizon, there were densely packed black dots floating high in the sky, with a red light that spread through the sky and the earth behind them, like a giant fire demon with a body thousands of miles in size, roaring and swallowing towards them!

"It's troublesome. In the palace, besides the tomb keepers, there are also these strange creatures called Red Flame Owls. Be careful not to be infected by them. Once infected, they will form a flame that cannot be extinguished by spiritual energy. Moreover, when you are at your most mature, this flame will quickly come over and devour you whole."

The man in black robe kindly reminded him.

Obviously, he has dealt with this kind of red flame owl many times.

"They are coming towards us. It seems that they have discovered us. There is no point in hiding! The leading Red Flame Owl has a strength close to the Golden Core Realm, but its intelligence is very low. It is not difficult to deal with. I will deal with it, and leave the rest to you."

The black-robed man looked back and said, "I will sneak in immediately afterwards. When the tomb keepers start to appear, it means the countdown has begun. I hope that we will have some tacit understanding since this is our first cooperation."

Pei Daoye nodded indifferently.

Watch the man in black robe take action.

Visible white light burst out from his hands, exploding into white gas masses in the gray air, and instantly crushing the red storm that was sweeping around him.

His entire body was like a huge candle shadow, burning the red whirlwind in the sky cleanly. A fierce aura swirled around his body, and it actually took the shape of a blood dragon, whirling and circling in the air!

"Spirit?!"

Pei Daoye looked over with some surprise.

I didn't expect this guy to be a congenital spiritual body.

I can't help but feel a little envious.

"I am leaving."

The next moment, with just a slight shake, the man in black robe was like a cannonball fired from a gun, carrying a burning, flaming innate energy, whizzing through the space, leaving a narrow, straight transparent passage behind him.

Gone in the blink of an eye.

Pei Daoye took a deep breath and said, "It's my turn to perform next."

It was also at this time that he finally saw clearly the appearance of the so-called Red Flame Owl.

It was indeed as he had estimated before, not counting the wingspan, even the smallest red-flame owl was much larger than a tiger, and looked more like a combination of a pangolin and a bat, extremely ferocious.

His whole body was on fire.

It passed through the dark palace as fast as lightning, like a will-o'-the-wisp.

After waiting for a while, the man in black robe didn't see Pei Daoye make a move, so he frowned.

Looking back.

He looked at Pei Daoye standing there, as if he was frightened as he watched the sky full of red flame owls rushing down.

His mission is to seize the inheritance of the King of Western Chu.

But in the current situation, do I have to go back and save Pei Daoye?
Just as he was frowning, he suddenly seemed to notice something strange and looked back abruptly.

His eyelids twitched violently, and his pupils shrank as if something horrible had happened!
The bright red sword light suddenly appeared.

In the flames and dust that were cut and torn all around, the light was shooting in all directions in the strong wind, and even the Red Flame Owls that were coming towards them like red lightning trembled.

At this moment, in the black-robed man's mind, an extremely sharp sword intent rushed up into the sky like a torrent.

The red flames raging across the sky could not stop the sharp and destructive intent that was deep in the bones!
"What a powerful sword!"

"This is……"

"Taiyi Sword?!"

The man in black robe was able to accurately recognize the true essence of this sword through some details.

Even more surprised.

There are very few people in the entire Xuanshan Sect who can practice Taiyi Sword to this level.

He began to feel extremely curious about Pei Daoye's identity.

In an instant! A torrent of sword energy swept across the sky!

Chi Chi Chi -!
In mid-air, hundreds of giant red birds were unhindered and completely deprived of their vitality by the extremely sharp sword energy. They were completely turned into unresponsive kites, falling from the sky like raindrops. In mid-air, they were swept by the sword light and completely shattered into pieces all over the sky!

The men in black robes couldn't help but take a deep breath in their hearts.

The boiling blood even dyed half the sky red.

The sword energy swept across, the wind stopped, and the sky and earth became clear. From then on, there was no longer any Red Flame Owl in front of Pei Daoye.

From beginning to end, he only struck out with one sword.

With one sword drawn, all the demons were wiped out.

"Brother, I'm convinced. It seems that the dean's decision to send you here was a very wise one."

The black-robed man's tone also softened completely.

“This gives me more confidence!”

"Don't worry, I'm here."

This was the first time Pei Daoye made a promise to him.

The man in black robe grinned.

Steady!
