Eternal Sword

Chapter 665: Ghost Crying Ridge

Chen Tang and Yizhimei and their group left Black Water Country that day and entered the Three Thousand Snow Ridges. The boundless wind and snow quickly covered up all traces of the group.

He was in no hurry to leave.

Mei Yingxue and the others were injured, and he was a little worried.

I happened to be here for a while and I could give some pointers on everyone's practice.

With his current level of cultivation, let alone guiding people like Mei Yingxue and Meng Liangyu, even the two third-grade masters Zong Zhulan and Yan Qi would occasionally come to him for advice.

Chen Tang and his men hid in the Three Thousand Snow Ridges and disappeared, but the news about the Black Water Kingdom quickly spread everywhere, shocking the world!
Wanren Peak stands in the cold region of the far north, and its towering mountain reaches straight into the clouds, as if touching the end of the sky.

The mountain is covered with snow that never melts all year round. The Ice Palace, the place where the Cold Domain Sword Emperor practices, sits quietly halfway up the Wanren Peak.

On this day, six kings from the seven countries in the Cold Region arrived together.

"Meet the Sword Emperor."

The six kings were led by messengers to the main hall of the Ice Palace and bowed to pay their respects.

"You're here for the Black Water Nation?"

The Sword Emperor of the Cold Realm stood high above, with a head full of silver hair and narrow eyes as sharp as a blade, looking down at the six kings who were attacking.

King Lone Peak said in a deep voice: "The death of King Black Water is truly a shame that our Cold Region has not experienced in many years."

"good."

King Piaoxue said: "This Xiling Demon Lord is too domineering. He came into the country and killed the king. How arrogant."

King Bingjing also said: "It's not just the Xiling Demon Lord, the Xiling Death Demon is the same, killing people in the Black Water Country, they are simply arrogant."

The six kings filed accusations one after another.

"I hope the Sword Emperor will come out and bring justice to the Frost Region!"

The six kings said in unison.

"This matter is not that simple, you guys go back first."

The Frost Domain Sword Emperor spoke in a calm tone.

"This……"

The six kings looked at each other in shock.

Such a big thing happened in Hanyu, can we just let it go like this?
Frost Domain Sword Emperor said slowly: "This Xiling Demon Lord killed two masters of the Barbarian Land three months ago, and even killed 100,000 barbarians, causing them to lose many soldiers and generals. Is there any movement in the Barbarian Land?"

The Sixth King shook his head.

They were also somewhat confused about this.

Mandi suffered such a great loss, yet he endured it.

King Shuangluo frowned and asked, "Is the Demon Lord really that terrifying? Even the Barbarian Lord and...are so afraid of him?"

"You are still naive."

Frost Domain Sword Emperor shook his head and said, "The Barbarian Lord is not afraid of the Demon Lord, but someone else."

If Emperor Wu had not died, neither he nor the Barbarian Lord would dare to act rashly and easily set foot in China.

Right now, what they should do most is to wait and see what happens.

If Emperor Wu hadn't died, the most nervous and anxious people would probably be Daqian and the Xuantian Sect!

He had a premonition that Beiqian would likely fall into chaos.
-
Daqian capital, Xuantian Temple.

Sect Leader Xuantian was sitting in the main hall, with two great guardians sitting on his left and right.

"You have all received the news about the Black Water Country, right?"

Xuantian Sect Leader asked: "Who is this Xiling Demon Lord?"

Yue Wuxin shook his head and said, "What I heard were just some rumors. It is said that this person is ten feet tall, is good at wielding two golden hammers, has great strength, and is said to be able to control tigers and white apes. I wonder where the Demon Lord found such a person."

Lu Li asked, "How about sending some people to investigate him?"

Xuantian Sect Leader pondered for a long time, then shook his head and said, "No need for that. We should find the whereabouts of Emperor Wu as soon as possible. He is our biggest concern!"

"The Emperor Wu may have died a long time ago." Lu Li said: "After all, no one has seen him in so many years, it is probably just a rumor."

Xuantian Sect Leader said slowly: "Even if it is a rumor, we must investigate it thoroughly! Is there any news about Chen Tang?"

"No."

Yue Wuxin said, "Ever since he won the top spot on the three lists in Nanxia, ​​he suddenly disappeared. He may have been hiding in the Sword Pavilion."
-
In a dark room of a palace, the light was dim.

"Your descendant is really capable of causing trouble. He just went to the Black Water Country and caused a big disturbance, killing two Grandmasters, and also killed the Black Water King and the Master of Xuantian Temple."

A voice suddenly sounded in the dark room.

"Isn't he also your disciple?" another voice sounded.

At first, the man snorted coldly and said, "I accepted him as my disciple, but he was unwilling to do so. As a result, he went out and caused trouble, relying on the name of the Demon Sect everywhere."

"Should we expel him from the sect?"

"That's not necessary. Let him be. I don't care."

In the dark room, peace returned.

After a while, the man at the beginning said again: "After you recover from your injury this time, will you still fight for the throne of Shenzhou and dominate the world? I heard that your son has raised the banner of rebellion in Beiqian and his momentum is not small."

"I don't want him to live like this."

"Oh?"

"A hundred years of life pass by in a hurry, and the imperial ambitions are fleeting. What good is it to be the overlord of the world? In the end, it is nothing but a handful of yellow earth. For a lifetime, you are trapped in this cage, unable to see another world. How unfortunate and sad it is."

"You want to break free of this cage?"

“I can’t do it.”

"How about me?"

After a long silence, the man said, "I don't know. Perhaps it will allow future generations to see a ray of light and see the path ahead."

"That's enough."
-
The matter concerning the Demon Lord of Xiling caused a stir among all parties.

Chen Tang stayed in the Three Thousand Snow Ridge for half a month. It was quiet and peaceful without any disturbance.

Mei Zhenyu and Zhu Lingxue left first and returned to Nanxia.

Under his guidance, Mei Yingxue and Meng Liangyu practiced the "Ice Soul Sutra" and both entered the fifth-grade inner alchemy realm.

On this day, Chen Tang, Wei Qun and others set out on a journey, left the Three Thousand Snow Ridge, and came to the outskirts of Wu'an County. They buried Tan Wujiu's body together with Cai Tou's sword and Qin Xiaomei, and held a ceremony to pay tribute.

Many people in Yizhimei are still recovering from injuries. Wei Qun, Wang Yanli and others are temporarily staying in the Yizhimei army.

Chen Tang, Mei Yingxue, Meng Liangyu, Zong Zhulan, and Yan Qi headed south towards Yanzhou.

The five men all had great martial arts skills. They did not take the official road, but went around the city, crossed the mountains, slept in the open air, and in a few days they entered the territory of Yanzhou.

On this day, the group passed by a mountain called Ghost Crying Ridge.

The mountains here are steep and the terrain is complex and varied.

If you don't take the official road, you will inevitably pass through this place.

However, it is said that Ghost Crying Ridge has been haunted for the past year, and even some wandering people who went in have been missing without a trace.

Over time, the rumors about Ghost Crying Ridge became more and more mysterious.

Some people also say that many corpses of soldiers from previous dynasties are buried here, and evil spirits are rampant, taking people's lives.

Chen Tang and his four companions are skilled and courageous, so they don't care about such things.

Things like ghosts and monsters are nothing more than tricks to scare people.

With Xiao Jinpeng guiding them in the air, Chen Tang and his companions would not lose their way.

Not long after they walked away, a long cry of the little golden roc suddenly came from the sky!
This is Xiao Jinpeng giving a warning.

The white ape quickly climbed up a nearby tree, looked down from above, and patrolled the surroundings.

Xuetuan'er was trembling all over, his eyes were wide open, he exuded an extremely dangerous aura, and was on high alert.
