Chapter 232: A Sword Light Chills the Nineteen Continents! (Seeking Monthly Tickets)
Lu Chen nodded, not hiding the joy on his face at all.

[Jiji Gua: Jiji, prosperous, slightly beneficial to be steadfast. Good at the beginning, but chaotic at the end]

[The ninth and third line: Emperor Gaozong will attack Guifang and conquer them in three years. Do not use villains.]

Ji Ji, with Li below and Kan above, symbolizes the intersection of water and fire. Water is above fire, symbolizing that the time has come!

only……

"Why did you get a nine-three line?"

Lu Chen had some thoughts in his mind, but he didn't show it.

The ninth and third line of the hexagram represents that after things succeed, one should be wary of villains.

The allusion 'Emperor Gaozong attacked Guifang and conquered it in three years' refers to the fact that Emperor Wu Ding of the Shang Dynasty conquered the Guifang Kingdom, which took him three years.

And in the process, some "villains" also made contributions.

After Lu Chen's eyes flickered slightly, he calmly asked a few people to search the edge of Ningzhou. If they met someone who "claimed to be Xie", they should bring him over.

When they heard this, they went over immediately.

Lu Chen looked in one direction and asked with a smile: "Senior Zhongli, when did you come back?"

Just when the hexagram appeared, Zhongli Quan's voice also reached Lu Chen's ears, letting Lu Chen know that Xie Shiman was about to arrive.

Zhongli Quan showed up with a murderous look on his face and said, "Lord Shao received a message from the Xie family in Zangke, Nanzhong, so he sent me back."

Then, without waiting for Lu Chen to ask more, he said: "The Yin-Yang Realm is in chaos. The ghost kings from all over the world have joined forces to attack Luofeng Liutian. I also helped there, so I came back a little late... Well, fortunately it wasn't too late."

The current situation of Luofeng Liutian is not good. It is said that there are six masters of the sky, but there are only two gods in existence.

Lord Shao is awake, presiding over the overall situation, consolidating the situation in the Yin-Yang world, and fighting against those polluting and distorted ghost kings. However, the first Lord, Emperor Bei Tai, is sleeping and has not awakened yet.

And Emperor Beitai, who is the foundation of the Six Heavens, cannot wake up easily.

Lu Chen couldn't help but feel nervous when he heard this and asked about the specific matters.

"Mr. Shao means that the world is about to change, and the yin and yang are out of balance. Whether it is the underworld or the yang world, chaos has broken out. Many ghosts have begun to rebel, and some old guys who have been dead for a long time have also begun to plan and layout, all wanting to obtain the qualifications for immortality and ascension... Anyway, it's a mess."

Speaking of the chaos in the Yin-Yang world, Zhongli Quan also had a headache. The evil spirit on his body was caused by killing too many Yin ghosts.

"Actually, I'm not in a hurry here, and you can still come over to help." Lu Chen said after thinking for a moment.

The Six Heavens of Luofeng are one of the few existing places in the Yin and Yang Realm that can shelter normal souls. They are also the main location for suppressing the order of the Yin and Yang Realm. If it falls, the world of the living will probably be affected as well.

In the early days, Zhang Ling cut down mountains and destroyed temples. After learning about the existence of Luofeng Liutian, he changed his approach.

Zhongli Quan waved his hand upon hearing this and said, "You are the first one."

His expression was solemn as he said, "Master has also told me that the world will not be peaceful for long. The Buddhist sect is ready to make a move, and we will not be able to stay peaceful for many years. The demons are also sharpening their knives, and the old cow in the north is impatient... The current balance seems stable, but in fact it is just a straw away from being overwhelmed. Therefore, Huludongtian is the top priority. It contains the remains of Lord Shenbao, and it is also the midpoint of heaven and earth. As long as nothing goes wrong here, other places can be solved bit by bit."

Hearing this, Lu Chen nodded and asked, "How is the Xie family connected to Luo Feng Liu Tian?"

"I didn't ask about this, but they are all old monsters who have lived for who knows how many years. Who wouldn't be prepared? The ancestor of the Xie family was Shen Bo in the Zhou Dynasty. It's normal for Shao Gong to be able to connect with him."

While Lu Chen and Zhongli Quan were chatting, Zhang Jiao and three others came back with a few people.

“Don’t tell them about the old times.”

Zhongli Quan instructed.

Lu Chen nodded. Zhongli Quan was indeed a trump card hidden in the dark, and it was best not to expose it if possible.

After all, he still has a 'villain' here.

Before everyone arrived, Zhongli Quan hid himself again and hid in the dark.

"Zangke Xie Clan Yilang greets Master Lu Tianshi."

Xie Yilang saluted Lu Chen.

Lu Chen nodded and said, "Thank you, Patriarch. Lord Shao has already explained your purpose of coming here. Let's go now."

Xie Yilang hurriedly said: "Master Lu, Yongchang County has undergone some changes now."

As he spoke, he recounted how Yongchang County had been frozen over for a few days, and that the cold was still spreading.

"A thousand miles of ice?"

Lu Chen's heart sank.

Has the Scorpion King and the Golden Snake Queen escaped?
"Thank you, Patriarch, for leading the way. We shouldn't waste time." Lu Chen said.

"It is obligatory."

Xie Yilang immediately said, "There are secret spies left by the Cuan family around Ningzhou. Outsiders don't know about it, so as long as you set foot in Ningzhou, you will definitely be known by the Cuan family. Now some of those monster spies have been subdued by the Green Snake King, and they must use secret passages to enter and exit the place."

Lu Chen nodded and followed Xie Yilang in and out of the secret passage.

The Nanzhong area is isolated from the outside world. The Cuan family guards the southwest. In order to prevent invasion by the Central Plains dynasty and to remain vigilant against the outside world, there are always surveillance personnel.

And in this extraordinary world, the Central Plains Dynasty, with its good fortune, suppresses all monsters and demons, and anyone who does not reach the level of breaking the limit will be suppressed by it.

Naturally, whether it is ghosts, Taoism or Buddhism, they are all linked to the dynasty.

The Cuan clan was just a separatist force, without a dynasty system and no luck. Naturally, they could only rely on extraordinary organizations to manage the affairs of the South Central Region.

If other forces in the South Central Territory want to contact the outside world, they can only open up some small passages that are not easily discovered.

The so-called "tunnel" of the Xie family is just passing through a hill. The priest who monitors the border here is a secret agent of the Xie family.

After passing the border here, Xie Yilang arranged for everyone to disguise themselves as a convoy. After passing through one small checkpoint after another in broad daylight, they returned to Zangke County without anyone noticing.

It is the end of July now, and the Mid-Autumn Festival is about to begin.

The weather in the south should be hot and dry even during the Mid-Autumn Festival.

But the weather here is very cold.

Even when the sky is clear, there will be a chill. Some plants and trees will even begin to lose their leaves due to the sudden change in the environment.

The ecosystem has been greatly affected.

It was the first time for the people in Zangke City to encounter such a situation, and in such an emergency, they did not have many thick clothes.

Along the way, many cloth and leather shops were sold out.

And this is just one of them. The severe outbreak of cold weather also means that food production will be greatly reduced.

Life will be difficult for people in the future.

After taking a general look, Lu Chen asked Xie Yilang, "When did the cold air start to enter?"

"Half a month." Xie Yilang replied.

"Half a month..."

After thinking about it, Lu Chen borrowed a room, closed his eyes, and began to contact his Shangqing body and Taiqing body, asking about their current location.

Shangqingshen reported his place.

"We are now in a place called Sigangli in the south of Yongchang County. There are some legends about the creation of the gourd here. There is a group of people who claim to be people who came out of the gourd..."

"The Green Snake King has sent his demons to search for the outbreak point of the cold air, which is where the sacred mountain is, but they have no clue yet."

"Sigangli? Okay, I got it."

Lu Chen opened his eyes and looked at Xie Yilang who was standing beside him: "Patriarch Xie, where is Sigangli?"

"Sigangli?"

Xie Yilang raised his eyebrows and said without hesitation: "Sigangli is the dialect of the Xiuyao people. According to the Han people, it should be called the 'Gourd Kingdom'. It is located in the south of Yongchang County, close to Myanmar. It is also the location of the sacred mountain in legend. A month ago, Cuan Longyan led his men to the north of the Gourd Kingdom and attacked two Taoists, but the two Taoists were rescued by a butterfly demon."

At this moment, Lu Chen knew that this must be the place where the Gourd Cave Heaven existed.

Sigangli, in the language of the Xiuyao people, means "gourd", and the Xiuyao people also claim to be people who walked out of the gourd!
"Who are those two Taoists you are besieging?"

After hearing this, Lu Chen asked Xie Yilang about the characteristics of the two Taoists, and then he realized that they must be his Three Pure Ones bodies.

'Did they encounter the butterfly demon?'

Lu Chen's mind moved slightly, and he asked, "The Xie family has entered the sacred mountain before, why did you use the word 'legend' just now?"

Xie Yilang smiled bitterly and said, "Legend has it that the sacred mountain only appears before those who are destined to see it, while those who are not destined to see it will see the sacred mountain in front of them but cannot see it. Our Xie family once had a connection with the sacred mountain, but... alas, someone from the Xie family from afar came and stole the items in the sacred mountain. Since then, our Xie family has lost contact with the sacred mountain. The mountain god of the sacred mountain no longer recognizes our Xie family, so our Xie family can only live in a small corner and cannot rule Nanzhong."

The ruling class of Nanzhong must be recognized by the sacred mountain, which is the guardian of the Hulu Cave Heaven that Lu Chen knows.

Lu Chen thought of the magic gourd and the spiritual leaves, and understood.

Xie Yiwu got the magic gourd and spiritual leaves from Xie Shiman, right?
Lu Chen said to Xie Yilang, "No need to stop, let's go directly to Sigangli."

"Ok."

Xie Yilang nodded. He also wanted to deal with the matter as soon as possible to avoid worrying.

Soon he took Lu Chen and others to the direction of Yongchang County.

You can fly over at this time. Zangke County and Yongchang County are not next to each other. Zangke is in the east of Ningzhou, and Yongchang is in the west of Ningzhou. The overall shape is an inverted eight, separated by several other counties in the middle.

This was the method used by the Cuan family, which was to separate these major forces. Initially, the area of ​​Zangke County was much larger. Later, the area in the southern part of Zangke connecting with Yongchang was demarcated by the Cuan family as Xinggu County, and occupied by the Cuan family.

However, Xinggu County once belonged to the Xie family, so there were some areas here that were beyond the reach of the Cuan family and were ruled by some forces secretly planted by the Xie family.

So Xinggu County nominally belonged to the Cuan family, but it was actually divided equally between the Cuan family and the Xie family.

The northern side, close to Jianning County, is firmly controlled by the Cuan family, while some areas in the south are secretly controlled by the Xie family.

They went to the Hulu Kingdom in the south of Yongchang County through the area secretly controlled by the Xie family.

However, when they were halfway to Xinggu County, Xie Yilang's expression had become extremely ugly.

The last time he came, although Xinggu County was affected by the cold, it was just some cold and not too serious.

But now, the wind is howling and the cold is biting.

There were corpses of people who had frozen to death on the roadside.

From time to time, they would see other people braving the fierce cold wind and cautiously exploring Yongchang County.

However, most people couldn't reach it and would quickly retreat with a look of fear.

Because the further we move forward, the more this situation will occur!
Humans, plants, tiles, stones, houses, animals, insects... In the end, even the corpses of animals that had turned into monsters appeared one after another in everyone's sight!

Moreover, each one is frozen in crystal clear ice, like a lifelike work of art.

The spies were frightened by the corpses and dared not move forward.

"This...this...Gulu."

Xie Yilang was also frightened and swallowed.

One of his men was not paying attention for a moment and was touched by something and turned into a piece of ice.

"Being frozen to death is understandable, but this is no longer just cold..." Xie Yilang muttered to himself.

"It's indeed not ordinary cold air, but a spell."

Lu Chen's fireball technique failed to melt or split the ice, and his brows were furrowed.

They are just approaching Yongchang County and have not arrived yet!
You know, the area of ​​Yongchang County is one of the top three largest counties in the world. The effective radiation area of ​​this cold air is comparable to a southern Yunnan province in later generations!
How can this be called a vast expanse of ice?
This is hundreds of thousands of square kilometers of ice!

Obviously, this is because the effect of the spell has not completely disappeared.

As long as you are blown by the cold air created by the spell, you will turn into a piece of ice stone!
"Lu...Master Lu." Xie Yilang looked at Lu Chen with a somewhat evasive expression.

Seeing this, Lu Chen knew what he was thinking, and nodded slightly, saying, "Thank you very much, Chief, for seeing me off all the way. The rest of the way, I and the others can go by ourselves."

"Ashamed, ashamed."

Xie Yilang's face turned red.

Although he felt ashamed, it was certain that he would never dare to enter.

No matter what was inside, even if it was really a sacred mountain, he no longer had any other thoughts in his mind.

There are indeed opportunities in the sacred mountain, but if you want to get them, you must also have the life to get out!
We haven’t even reached the sacred mountain yet, and we’ve already seen inexplicable deaths and injuries.

Who knows if this is the mountain god being angry?

Such a horrifying frozen scene, it is obvious that the things inside are not something that the Xie family can afford to offend.

Haven’t you seen that even the Cuan clan has retreated to Jianning City?

"The Immortal said that the Heavenly Master has obtained the Magic Gourd Leaf. When we arrive at the place, we only need to take out the Magic Gourd Leaf, and the sacred mountain will reveal itself... Then we will take our leave first."

After Xie Yilang gave the last instructions, he hurriedly retreated with his men.

He didn't want to stay here for even a second, lest he be frozen by another gust of cold air!

Lu Chen turned his gaze towards Shu Jizhen and Wang Yue'e: "You guys don't have to move forward. Take the sound transmission talisman, I will send you a message if there is anything."

Shu Jizhen nodded and didn't force it.

He could still move forward, but Wang Yue'e certainly couldn't make it, and he was worried about Wang Yue'e being alone.

In this case, it is better to stay in the outside world.

Then, Lu Chen took the map left by Xie Yilang and set out on the road to Hulu Dongtian alone.

In less than half a day, they arrived at the territory of the so-called Gourd Kingdom.

Standing on a mountain top that has been frozen into a crystal and looking into the distance, everything is white.

Reflecting the sunlight, countless creatures were frozen inside the crystals.

Not long after, the Shangqing body and Taiqing body, who had received Lu Chen's summons, also came to Lu Chen's side.

There was no butterfly demon following him.

In response to Lu Chen's question, Shang Qing Shen explained, "The little butterfly was called away by the Green Snake King. It seems that the Green Snake King is looking for a natural treasure to restore his strength and start refining pills."

"Didn't the Green Snake King find the Gourd Cave Heaven?" Lu Chen said.

"Little Butterfly said that although the Green Snake King also sent people to look for the entrance to the Gourd Cave Heaven, he was no longer in a hurry after the icy aura appeared."

Shang Qingshen smiled and said, "This Green Snake King must want to recover his cultivation before meeting the Golden Snake Lady. After all, as soon as the Golden Snake Lady woke up, she froze the Gourd Cave Heaven, and her power actually passed through the range of the Gourd Cave Heaven and appeared in the outside world, freezing the entire Yongchang County. This power is probably beyond the Green Snake King's imagination."

Lu Chen nodded: "It seems that this pair of snake sisters are still no match for the white snake sisters."

Then he took a look at the conditions of the Shangqing body and the Taiqing body. They were both created by supernatural powers and had no substance of their own. However, after being injured, they also represented the damage of the supernatural powers.

Lu Chen was also distressed when he saw this. Although the Sanqing body could be restored through nurturing, it would also take time.

"Ok."

Taiqing was the most seriously injured, and nodded weakly: "I'll leave the rest to you, we'll go and recuperate first."

The Taiqing body and the Shangqing body disappear at the same time.

Zhang Jiao frowned and said, "I have heard of the Golden Snake Lady you mentioned from Cheng Gongxing. She is the demon king suppressed under the Gourd Cave Heaven, but... who are the White Snake Sisters?"

"Just a pair of snake demon sisters I met before."

Lu Chen changed the subject and asked, "Senior, what do you think of the Golden Snake Goddess at this moment? Also, do we still need to continue to enter the Gourd Cave Heaven?"

"of course."

Zhang Jiao nodded decisively: "No matter what the Golden Snake Lady is like, she just escaped. These freezing techniques may not be her means. Besides, the demon has already appeared. Only by going deep into it and exploring its details can we take it down in one fell swoop. Didn't Xie Yilang say that the magic leaf of the treasure gourd was taken from the Gourd Mountain? Maybe we can find the real body of the treasure gourd. This may be a real immortal thing."

There was a gleam in Lu Chen's eyes. He retracted his gaze, nodded, and took out the magic leaf of the treasure gourd.

As soon as the spiritual leaves appeared, rays of light emerged.

In the eyes of the two, the area in front of them, which was originally a lake, also changed. A phantom of a mountain gradually appeared before their eyes, echoing the magic leaf of the treasure gourd in Lu Chen's hand.

The shadow of the mountain gradually solidified, revealing itself to be a mountain shaped like a gourd.

Hulu Mountain appeared!

The moment Zhang Jiao saw Hulu Mountain appear, his eyes shone brightly.

"Finally found it, finally found it!"

His voice muttered to himself, and then he laughed.

When he turned his head again, his eyes had turned pitch black and the corner of his mouth was cracked into a horrible line.

Lu Chen looked very calm: "What's wrong?"

Zhang Jiao slowly walked towards Lu Chen: "Nothing, I just feel that this spiritual leaf is more convenient in my hands..."

The next second, he attacked Lu Chen directly.

He was stunned for just a moment.

The Lu Chen in front of him actually turned into a paper man!
There was a layer of flame attached to the paper man's body, and a knife chopped him down, causing flames to burn on his body.

"So you've been on guard against me for a long time."

Zhang Jiao laughed and flicked his long sleeves, and the flames on his body went out without leaving even a black mark. "But your skills are still a little weak. If you really have cultivated the Samadhi True Fire, maybe you can still be of some use to me. It's just a mere Lord Fire. Who else can you be?"

Before he could finish his words, his eyes suddenly narrowed.

But it's too late.

A hand was already pressed against his chest, knocking him away.

"Boom!" The air was blown with an explosion sound!

Zhang Jiao's figure suddenly dispersed, and most of the force instantly passed through, turning a glacier in the distance into flying snow.

Zhang Jiao's figure regrouped, and he looked at the newly emerged Zhongli Quan with a dark expression: "Zhongli Quan? When did you come out of Luofengtian?"

"Zhang Jiao... Oh, I should call you Grandmaster Zhang Ling."

Zhongli Quan said coldly: "Have you forgotten your duties? You should be guarding the Yin and Yang realm and deterring the ghost king. Why did you come to the world of the living without permission?"

"Why? You ask me why?"

Zhang Ling smiled, but now his smile also looked extremely strange and terrifying: "There is a chance to become an immortal, don't you want it? Give me the magic leaf of the treasure gourd! If I become an immortal and leave the mortal world, I will definitely take you to the immortal world with me!"

"Immortal world? Where is the immortal world in this world?"

Zhongli Quan shook his head and looked at Lu Chen: "He is no longer the real Zhang Ling. If we work together, we may be able to kill him."

"With the fan in your hand?"

Zhang Ling looked on with disdain.

Lu Chen took a deep breath, opened his palm, and whispered: "Taibai!"

A white jade sceptre quickly took shape in his hand, and even changed its shape to become a form similar to a long sword.

Lu Chen held the Taibai Jade Sceptre in front of his eyes, his eyes stern: "Sword Transformation Technique!"

A terrifying sword intent rose into the sky!

"..."

The expression on Zhang Ling's face froze instantly.

This...what is this!?

Zhang Ling said forcefully: "You have never practiced swordsmanship. Do you really think I was brought up by fear..."

"You're talking too much nonsense! When have you ever heard me say that I haven't practiced swordsmanship?"

Lu Chen curled his lips.

He doesn't know swordsmanship.

But Taibai Yugui can!

As the personal treasure of Taibai Jinxing, the retired old god of war.

Not to mention sword techniques, even knife techniques, hammer techniques...as long as you want, you can use any kind of technique!

Lu Chen didn't listen to Zhang Jiao's words at all, and the surging magic power poured into the Taibai Jade Gui: "Taibai Jade Gui! Kill!"

He swung the Taibai Jade Sceptre fiercely in the direction of Zhang Ling.

The sword shines brightly!

It seemed as if even the light of the sun in the sky was about to be blocked.

One sword light chills nineteen continents!

Zhang Ling felt as if the sky was about to collapse at this moment.

One sword seemed to cut the entire world in half!
Every inch of his skin was urging him on.

retreat!

Go back!

Retreat or die!
