Embers of Sword

Chapter 215: Immigrants

"This……"

Xie Xuanyi stared at the black box in his palm, a little dazed.

For so many years.

This was the first time he encountered this situation.

The scene just now was like a dream, yet extremely real.

There is only one explanation.

The battlefield of Ghost Ridge is surrounded by evil spirits. After countless years of sedimentation, a special formation of heaven and earth has been formed, which is enough to affect the minds of those who step in... Even a soul practitioner of Xie Xuanyi's level is disturbed by the soul illusion of the ancient battlefield.

Soon, Xie Xuanyi came back to his senses.

He looked at the black box in his palm and tried to open it with his energy.

Click!

The black box doesn't move at all!
"This is a relic from an ancient battlefield. It must have been sealed by a special secret technique."

Xie Xuanyi raised his eyebrows.

He stared at the black box. The winding dragon patterns on it contained ancient and mysterious power.

obviously.

Ordinary energy cannot open this box.

According to this logic, if you want to open the box, you need to find the secret pattern that corresponds to it and decipher it.

But Xie Xuanyi didn't have that much patience.

"Serious illness!"

He took a step back, threw out the black box, and drew out his natal flying sword!

hum!
The golden light surged!

A ray of sword light flew out from between Xie Xuanyi's eyebrows and directly hit the black box!

There was a crisp sound.

The black box burst into a cracking sound as it could not bear the weight, and the dragon pattern lit up with golden light. The next moment, it was suppressed by the sword light of Chencan... The ancient black evil generals who had previously carried the black box were probably half a step away from becoming a Yin God. The treasures they brought were at most spiritual treasures. Even if they were coated with secret patterns, they would not be harder than Chencan!
The way to break it is simple.

If one sword is not enough, attack with another one!
boom!
Chen Yan aimed at the black box and hit it for the second time. The dragon pattern was shattered, and the box fell steadily into Xie Xuanyi's palm and bounced open by itself.

Inside lies a black arrowhead with a gold-plated tip.

Xie Xuanyi narrowed his eyes.

He felt the vast meaning of Tao on this arrowhead.

This intention is somewhat similar to the arrow energy of the previous Black Evil General, but it is much more powerful!
If you guessed correctly.

The arrowheads in this black box are the "heavy weapons" used in the previous war!
some years ago.

These cavalrymen gathered together to attack the dragonborn just now...

Ordinary soldiers can't cause any harm to the Dragonborn!
But this arrowhead is different.

"What's in this dragon pattern box... is it a treasured array pattern weapon that can be used to kill dragonborn?"

Xie Xuanyi understood immediately.

He wanted to use human wave tactics to kill a dragon.

These cavalry generals need to pay the price of their lives to shoot the "secret arrow" in the black box.

"Is this the reason for this ancient battlefield?"

Xie Xuanyi stroked the arrowhead, feeling somewhat shocked.

There is no record of this period of history in the Dasui Sword Palace Sutra Library...

obviously.

This is a buried ancient history.

He was curious.

In the end of this battle, which side won?

After thinking for a moment.

Xie Xuanyi looked forward.

The cavalry disappeared in the fog.

Countless black evil spirits also dispersed, revealing a long path.

……

……

"Damn it!"

"How long will these cavalrymen catch up?"

On the other hand, the situation of Fang Hang and others was not going well.

Xie Sheng and Yuwen Zhong looked pale.

Taoist Tai Shang Zhai used his thunder magic to force his way forward in the black evil… Behind the three of them, countless cavalrymen were chasing after them, one after another.

Different from Xie Xuanyi’s experience.

They didn't see the "dragon-killing" scene thousands of years ago.

Just keep moving forward in the endless darkness.

Just when Fang Hang was about to use up all his thunder magic talismans... a bright light appeared at the end of the black evil.

"rush!"

Yuwen Zhong's eyes lit up!
The Holy Son of Qiantian Palace took a deep breath and rushed towards the light.

This is a teleportation portal!
Obviously, this secret place has more than one exit——

The three of them felt relieved.

When they saw the teleportation portal, the three geniuses breathed a sigh of relief.

"and many more……"

Just before the three were about to rush to the teleportation array.

Xie Sheng's pupils suddenly contracted.

He sensed the familiar breath again.

Before that door.

A wisp of sword energy swayed like wild grass.

"Xie Xuanyi's sword intention?"

Fang Hang was also stunned.

The three of them looked at each other and were all stunned. They never expected that they would encounter Xie Xuanyi's sword intent for the second time here!
"This damn place, did Xie Xuanyi come here before?"

Yuwen Zhong was a little bit unbelievable.

What does the appearance of such a sword energy mean in a place like this?
mean.

This secret realm has most likely already been "explored" by Xie Xuanyi.

"In order to deploy this sword energy, at least divine consciousness is needed..."

Fang Hang gritted his teeth and said, "Xie Xuanyi's divine consciousness has been here before. He probably had no time to explore back then, so he put down his sword energy and used it as a mark."

Prince Jiangning had a gloomy face and didn't care about the cavalry behind him.

He took a deep breath and said slowly: "So... there must be great fortune in this secret realm."

"Great fortune..."

Yuwen Zhong frowned and asked, "Did Xie Xuanyi realize the danger of this place back then, so he only laid down the sword energy mark and did not dare to step in?"

Xie Sheng shook his head and did not comment.

at this point.

No one knows.

But the situation right now is simple.

The Black Evil Cavalry will catch up soon... No matter whether there is great fortune or great danger behind this portal, the three of them have no choice but to step in!

"Three of you, at this point, we have no choice!"

Fang Hang said in a deep voice: "Let's work together to remove this sword energy mark!"

……

……

“This road is very quiet.”

Xie Xuanyi was walking alone in the dark abyss.

Ghost Ridge.

Before the appearance of the evil-looking warriors, it didn't look like an ancient battlefield at all.

Instead, this place looks like a broken ancient country.

Xie Xuanyi saw that deep in the black fog, there were towering stone towers and vaguely visible outlines of buildings.

He didn't know what happened thousands of years ago.

But he could feel that there seemed to be something calling him at the end of this ancient battlefield.

Walked for a while.

Xie Xuanyi's heart suddenly moved.

He raised his eyebrows in disbelief and released his divine thoughts...

At the end of this long, dark and broken road, there is actually a door.

This is not the most important.

Most importantly, there are fresh traces of battle around this portal.

as well as.

The broken sword energy belonging to Xie Xuanyi himself.

"This is the 'Sword Qi Mark' I left behind..."

Xie Xuanyi slowly came to the front of the gate. He squatted down and looked at the sword energy and grass debris falling in front of the gate.

Hunting in the north that year.

He didn't have time to explore the secret realm where the divine fruit was.

So he hurriedly placed his own sword energy marks at several portal nodes.

So that one day, when I return to the snowy mountains, I can quickly find the teleportation array!
Xie Xuanyi never expected this.

After accidentally entering the ancient battlefield of Ghost Ridge...here, I will find a trace of sword energy mark that I left behind!
"So, this ancient battlefield is a certain level in the God Fruit Secret Realm?"

Xie Xuanyi narrowed his eyes.

The sword mark he left behind has been destroyed.

And it was just destroyed!
This means that there are other people who have entered this secret realm.

"The sword energy mark I left on the outermost layer of the snow mountain has been discovered?"

Xie Xuanyi released his divine sense and silently sensed the residual aura in front of the teleportation array.

"Well... there are three of us..."

"There is a familiar aura..."

"Jiangning Xie Clan... Red Dragon Cave Heaven!"

Xie Xuanyi stretched out two fingers, pinched a wisp of remaining vitality, and silently crushed it. The red breath dissipated in the wind.

He was convinced.

Three people have already arrived here.

One of them was Xie Sheng, the Prince of Jiangning, who was defeated by him in Xuanshui Cave.

Xie Xuanyi was very familiar with Xie's swordsmanship.

of course.

Xie Sheng's Red Dragon magic has too many traces.

"interesting."

Xie Xuanyi raised his eyebrows. He also sensed the residual fluctuations of thunder magic around him.

This way.

In fact, the identities of the three people who entered can be roughly guessed.

I heard that Xie Sheng came to the imperial city with Yuwen Zhong, the Holy Son of Qiantian Palace...the two of them traveled together and boarded the same cloud boat.

Then there is a high probability that they will step into this place together.

The only other person who can use thunder magic is none other than the Taoist Tai Shang Zhai or the Fairy Yu Qing Zhai.

Shang Yi, the fairy of Yuqingzhai and the candidate for the next master of the zhai, is recorded in the case files of Fangyuanfang as a person who is very rule-abiding and attaches great importance to the reputation of Taoism.

The probability of Shang Yi, Xie Sheng and Yu Wenzhong traveling together is extremely low.

In this way, the identities of the three people can be confirmed. "They seem to be in a state of distress."

Xie Xuanyi also discovered that there were traces of blood and a strong aura of evil in front of the teleportation array.

These three people.

It's coming from another direction...the evil energy is quite dense.

Look.

Before coming, a great battle broke out. Even the thunder method was used, but still no upper hand was gained. The only thing to do was to flee in panic.

See this thread.

Xie Xuanyi was a little confused.

These Black Evil Iron Cavalry don't seem to be very aggressive towards me...

Why were these three people being hunted down?

……

……

"Senior Brother Qi Yu."

On the outskirts of the snow mountain, Taishangzhai and Qiantian Palace are still holding their positions.

A Taoist disciple, with a worried look on his face, came to the side of the second senior brother of Taishangzhai and asked in a low voice: "Several hours have passed... There is still no movement in this secret realm array. Has Master Daozi encountered any trouble?"

"What did you say?"

Qi Yu raised his eyebrows when he heard this.

A cold gaze swept over.

The Tai Shang Zhai disciple immediately fell silent.

"Master Daozi is so talented...at such a young age, he has already achieved the Perfection of Cave Heaven."

Qi Yu scolded: "How can a mere Beishou Secret Realm be so difficult for him?"

The disciple said cautiously: "I am worried about... that witch just now..."

"What kind of storm can a demon woman stir up?"

Qi Yu had a blank expression on his face: "With the three of you working together, what kind of danger can you encounter? Even if there is something inside, can I go in, or can you go in to help?"

As soon as these words came out.

The disciple was speechless...Master Daozi's strength was ten or a hundred times greater than his.

This time when he goes hunting in the north, he has the secret treasure of Tai Shang Zhai with him.

"Brother Qi."

the other side.

Chen Li from Qiantian Palace couldn't help but send a voice message: "What's going on inside this snowy mountain?"

Qi Yu's expression remained unchanged, and he transmitted calmly, "Brother Chen, don't panic."

Nearly half a day has passed.

Although Qi Yu appeared calm on the surface.

But deep down... he wasn't sure.

This secret place in the snowy mountains was marked by Xie Xuanyi's sword energy back then, and it obviously contains great fortune!

However, the three saint-level figures disappeared without a trace after they left.

This is really incredible.

Could it be that.

Behind this secret realm, is there actually an extremely dangerous place?
Or.

Is it that the gift of fate is so great that it makes people indulge in it and unable to extricate themselves?
"I heard that the Taoist sect sent two monks to the north for this hunt."

Chen Li whispered, "Taishangzhai and Yuqingzhai have always had a close relationship... Now the situation in the Snow Mountain Secret Realm is unclear. If we need help, why not call the fairy from Yuqingzhai to help..."

Qi Yu was stunned.

He looked at Chen Li with a complicated expression.

Before Lord Daozi went to the secret realm, he repeatedly warned everyone not to let anyone else enter there.

The purpose is to prevent major forces outside of Taoism from discovering this secret realm.

There is not much good fortune in the world.

Pick one, one less.

In this kind of secret realm, the more people participate, the fewer opportunities there are to share!

"You mean, I should contact Yuqingzhai?"

Qi Yu rubbed his eyebrows and felt a little headache.

In fact, he was also shaken in his heart. At this point, the messages from his own disciple had completely lost contact.

If we keep waiting like this...

In case of an accident.

If the Taoist sect blames me, how can I bear it?
Without waiting for Chen Li to answer.

Outside the secret realm formation, a strong wind suddenly blew.

Flying swords hovered above the snow-capped mountains. A huge team swept over from the distant sky and arrived in front of the snow-capped mountain formation in just a dozen breaths.

"I heard that there is a formation protecting this place, so I thought there was some incredible treasure guarding the mountain..."

"So they are fellow Taoists from the Dao Sect and Qiantian Palace."

A team of more than twenty people.

It just hovered in front of the snow mountain formation.

Black clothes and black robe.

The leader was wearing a black cloak embroidered with gold, with red lips and white teeth, and a face like a jade pendant.

It was the young prince of the Qin family, Qin Wanyang.

"Little prince."

Qi Yu's expression turned ugly. He knew that the news of the Snow Mountain Secret Realm could not be kept secret for too long, but he did not expect the Qin family to come so quickly.

"My fellow Taoists, is the Northern Hunt going smoothly?"

Qin Wanyang put his hands behind his back, stepped on the flying sword, and said with a smile: "I just hunted a cave heaven sixth level monster. I heard from the examiner on the ship that the cave heaven sixth level monster is currently ranked first in this northern hunt."

Speaking of which.

Qin Wanyang paused and said meaningfully: "But the Northern Hunt has just begun, and the monsters in the sixth realm of the Cave Heaven are nothing... I believe that your Lord Saint must have better prey."

"correct."

"Where are the two holy sons?"

"Why don't they take you to hunt the big monster?"

See the picture poorly.

Although Qin Wanyang was talking with the disciples of Qiantian Palace and Taishangzhai below him, his gaze never left the center of the snow mountain formation.

His spiritual thoughts had already flashed out.

The teleportation array deep in the snow-capped mountains was locked onto early on.

"Interesting, interesting."

The young prince of the Qin family said with a smile: "The two from Qiantian Palace and Taishangzhai...are they planning to follow the example of Xie Xuanyi back then, disappearing without a trace and then making a big move?"

"Three, actually."

Chen Li of Qiantian Palace smiled and said, "Xie Sheng, the Crown Prince of Jiangning, also entered with Lord Saint."

"???"

Qi Yu had a complicated expression as he looked at Fellow Daoist Chen beside him. He had never expected this to happen.

"Oh?"

Qin Wanyang narrowed his eyes and became interested in the younger generation second in command of Qiantian Palace.

He brought the Qin family's followers here with him. It was clear what he wanted to do!
This Chen Li did not avoid it.

Instead, all the truth was revealed!

What does it mean?
"Even Xie Sheng is here. It seems that there is great fortune in this secret realm."

Qin Wanyang smiled wryly and said, "You two are setting up a battle array here, are you preparing to fight the Qin family head-on?"

"..."

Qi Yu looked at Chen Li with a resentful expression.

"The Qin family is here. Everyone else will be here too."

Chen Li looked calm and sent a message to Qi Yu: "Release the formation pattern and let the young prince of the Qin family enter."

at this point.

Qi Yu had no choice.

The Taishangzhai and Qiantian Palace can certainly compete with the Qin family's followers...

But Michiko was not there.

The two of them will still suffer a big loss.

The strength of the young prince of the Qin family should not be underestimated. In addition, it is said that he has a large number of treasures on him.

If all his cards are played, I'm afraid Lord Daozi may not be able to gain any advantage over him!

"it is good."

Qi Yu took a deep breath, waved his sleeves, and unleashed the thunder magic array in front of the gazes of all the disciples.

"Back off!"

Qi Yu silently transmitted the message, and the Taoist disciples retreated behind him.

Chen Li also ordered the disciples of Qiantian Palace to make way for the Qin family.

"..."

The current situation is surprisingly smooth.

Qin Wanyang began to murmur in his heart.

He looked at Qi Yu and Chen Li, and did not choose to go in immediately. Instead, he sent a spiritual message to the chief examiner of the ship who was familiar to the Qin family.

"Venerable Hanshan."

Qin Wanyang grabbed the order and said calmly: "I found a secret place in the Beishou Snow Mountain and I am going to lead people to explore it."

Ten miles away.

The great sky formation covers the Lilan Mountains.

Venerable Hanshan, one of the three examiners in charge of the ship, was sitting on the top of the sky formation, silently guarding the entire Beihun examination hall.

He had white hair, white beard and white robe, and looked like an old monk in meditation.

This divine thought came.

Venerable Hanshan opened his eyes and sent his spiritual thoughts towards where Qin Wanyang was.

"Little prince..."

Venerable Hanshan's spiritual consciousness traveled through dozens of miles and landed at the entrance to the Snow Mountain Secret Realm, and he immediately conducted an investigation.

The old man's expression became solemn.

He looked at it for a long time and said in a deep voice: "This secret realm is probably a little weird."

This statement came out.

Qin Wanyang raised his eyebrows and said in a deep voice: "Tell me in detail, what's so strange?"

"I read it with my divine sense, but I didn't see the bottom."

Venerable Hanshan narrowed his eyes and said slowly: "This secret realm array has only one entrance to the chaos... If you want to see the fortune inside clearly, you need to pass through many portals..."

"In other words."

He sighed and said, "Behind this door, there is more than one secret realm."

Qin Wanyang was a little hesitant when he heard this: "What do you mean?"

"The prince has instructed that during this hunt in the north, fame comes second, and safety comes first."

Venerable Hanshan said seriously: "For your own safety, it is better not to rashly wade into this muddy water."

It was a good intention.

But unexpectedly, the word "Prince" came out of his mouth.

The hesitation on Qin Wanyang's face suddenly disappeared, replaced by disgust and impatience.

"go!"

The young prince of the Qin family waved his hand and coldly called out to the guests behind him, "Everyone under the command of the Qin Mansion, listen to my orders and follow me to break through this secret realm!"
