Chapter 196 Entering the Tianjiao Palace, Shen Bai is gone

Inside the room, the red egg stood on the ground, trembling slightly.

Through this giant red egg, Shen Bai could feel the breath of Hong Zhuang coming towards him.

On the dome, cracks appeared faintly, like blood vessels, flashing with a faint light.

"Hongzhuang is about to come out." Shen Bai said secretly.

He was very sure that this was like a mysterious intuition that could clearly tell him that Hongzhuang had reached the point of breakthrough.

"The Tianjiao Palace is about to open. With Hongzhuang's breakthrough, I have more means." Shen Bai thought to himself.

There was still some time before the Tianjiao Palace opened, so Shen Bai did not choose to go out. He stayed in the room and waited patiently.

Time passed slowly, and after about an incense stick of time, the red dome finally changed.

Under Shen Bai's gaze, the cracks at the top of the dome spread out, fell to the ground, turned into a puff of smoke, and were absorbed by the dome.

Next, like peeling an egg, the cracked fragments fell to the ground.

Every time a piece fell, the fragments turned into smoke and were absorbed completely by the red makeup inside the dome.

As the fragments continued to disappear, Hong Zhuang's appearance gradually emerged.

Fair skin, naked yet sexy body, classical aura and that foul red touch.

Hong Zhuang opened her eyes, noticed Shen Bai's gaze, and also felt her own condition. She couldn't help but blush.

But she did not cover up, but stood up openly. The mist on her body flowed and turned into a red dress, covering her exquisite figure.

She is a strange beast, and everything she has belongs to Shen Bai. Although she is shy, it is not much.

If Shen Bai wanted, Hong Zhuang would lie on the bed without hesitation.

Shen Bai witnessed the whole process and felt calm inside.

Hongzhuang's figure is indeed exquisite, and Shen Bai was a little surprised just now, but now is the time to get down to business.

"What are your abilities in this breakthrough?" Shen Bai asked.

Every evolution of the monster brings new abilities.

For example, if Amber turns into a cat-eared girl, she can also bring Shen Bai a triple combat power bonus and proficiency bonus.

Although Hongzhuang is her first evolution, she is definitely not worse than Amber's first evolution.

There was a hint of confusion in Hongzhuang's beautiful eyes and eyebrows.

The information brought by the evolution was somewhat mixed, and she needed to slow down and absorb all the information she received.

About half an incense stick of time passed before Hongzhuang absorbed all the information and opened her eyes.

"Master, with this evolution, I have completely broken away from the shell of a paper man." Hong Zhuang rolled up her sleeves, revealing a section of her fair arm.

Shen Bai stretched out his hand and felt around carefully, and found that it had flesh and blood, just like amber.

"Shedding my paper body and regaining my human form is great news."

This is what Hongzhuang has always dreamed of. Now that it has been achieved, she is naturally overjoyed.

Hong Zhuang took several deep breaths to calm her excitement and continued, "Also, I can double the master's swordsmanship on top of the original bonus."

Shen Bai touched his chin and said, "If it doubles, it would be a nice surprise."

The double bonus on swordsmanship means that the attack power of Shen Bai's Soul-Destroying Sword has far exceeded that of the Vajra Dharma Fist.

Although one is bare-handed and the other is swordsmanship, there is no comparison, but this bonus makes Shen Bai's combat power increase sharply.

Hongzhuang nodded slightly.

She could also feel Shen Bai's joy. As a strange beast, she was naturally happy when her master was happy.

This shows that this time the evolution has not gone astray at all.

"Master, this time we are more confident in participating in the Tianjiao Palace." Hong Zhuang approached Shen Bai and gently took Shen Bai's arm.

Shen Bai smiled and said, "Of course, the matter of Tianjiao Palace should also come to a happy ending."

For the first evolution, Shen Bai didn't expect Hongzhuang to have another ability. It was enough now.

"Let's go and meet those geniuses." Shen Bai waved his hand.

Everything is ready and the east wind is coming.

Hongzhuang bowed slightly to Shen Bai, turned into a red light, and disappeared into the cold moon.

Shen Bai grasped the hilt of the Hanyue sword, then strode out of the door and headed towards the palace.

……

Xuanjing City, Imperial Palace.

At this moment, inside the imperial palace, in front of the main hall called Tianqing Hall, there was a huge crowd of people.

This is the main hall of the Great Zhou Dynasty's imperial palace used to receive envoys from other countries. It is extremely magnificently built, and the square in front stretches as far as the eye can see.

Crowds of people were looking around in the square.

Eunuch Chen was dressed in plain clothes, with his hands tucked into his sleeves, looking as if he had not yet woken up.

Next to him, an old man in armor, along with the chief minister and the prime minister, were standing in front of the Tianqing Palace.

Next to the prime minister, there was a middle-aged man dressed as a scholar, gently waving a paper fan.

"Marshal Yang, this is your new recruit. His name is Zhou Qing, right? He is such a young talent." Eunuch Chen took a look and said.

Although Marshal Yang, who was wearing armor, looked old and frail, there was extremely terrifying energy flowing in his body.

After hearing what Eunuch Chen said, he said, "Indeed, he is brave and daring, and has an extraordinary talent for the battlefield. I have already taught him the Bloody Eight-Direction Blade and the art of military formations."

Eunuch Chen suddenly realized and said, "It seems that Shen Bai's friends are not small characters. They are just young and need time to grow."

After saying that, Eunuch Chen turned his attention to another woman in white.

"Dean, is this woman Qin Shuang, the one you would rather offend the general manager for than snatch her away to be your successor?" asked Eunuch Chen.

The middle-aged man who was waving a folding fan snapped it shut and said, "Indeed, Qin Shuang's talent is far superior to mine. After rebuilding, his strength has soared and is extremely terrifying."

After saying this, Prime Minister Cao snorted coldly, with dissatisfaction in his eyes.

"It's a shame that such a talented person doesn't serve in the imperial court."

The dean chuckled and said, "Studying doesn't necessarily mean you need to become an official. There's nothing wrong with exploring the truths in books. Prime Minister, you're going too far."

Prime Minister Cao waved his sleeves and said, "What a twisted theory! Having the ability to govern the world but not contributing to the country is nothing but empty talk."

The dean sneered and prepared to continue speaking.

Both of them are top scholars in the Great Zhou Kingdom, but their philosophies are different.

Prime Minister Cao emphasized serving the country as an official, while the dean believed that one should do his best to explore the truths in the book.

At the beginning, when they followed Emperor Shengwu to conquer the world, the two of them disliked each other.

Seeing the two men about to fight, Souji coughed and said, "You still want to fight? Are you as miserable as me?"

Everyone turned around, looking puzzled.

Zong Si straightened his slightly disheveled hair and said, "Zhou Qing was robbed, and Shen Bai has people who are jealous. These are all my people, so you guys are forcing them."

He no longer cared about his identity and started swearing.

Marshal Yang showed a hint of resentment on his face.

Eunuch Chen did not feel embarrassed and said, "We are just borrowing it. Why are you so anxious? We are not anxious at all."

"Haha." Souji just sneered.

These people represent the peak combat power of the Great Zhou Kingdom, but at this moment they seem to be fighting like children.

Even though they had once protected each other from swords and guns, they were still angry.

Just as a few people were bickering, a sudden commotion broke out in the originally quiet square.

Everyone raised their heads and looked at the sky.

Above the sky, a shadow fell from the sky and landed steadily on the ground.

Shen Bai held the sword in one hand and placed the other hand behind his back.

A breeze blew by, causing Shen Bai's black clothes to flutter.

Many geniuses from other countries looked at Shen Bai with deep fighting spirit in their eyes.

Not long ago, on that street, they did not stand up because of the obstruction of the guardians, and were humiliated by Shen Bai. Now it is different. After entering the Tianjiao Palace, life and death are determined by fate.

Shen Bai raised his eyebrows, ignored the gazes around him, and walked up to Zhou Qing and others.

Ouyang Jian came over with a few old friends.

Shen Bai introduced the situation of both parties and asked, "How long will it take for the Tianjiao Palace to open?"

Because he was waiting for Hongzhuang to evolve, Shen Bai was the last one to arrive.

Qin Shuang came over and whispered, "Probably about half an hour."

While he was speaking, many geniuses from the Great Zhou Kingdom gathered around him.

They took Shen Bai as the core, as if they were protecting Shen Bai inside.

Shen Bai took a look and frowned.

One of the young men stepped forward and said, "Master Shen, don't worry. You fought for the Great Zhou Kingdom on the streets back then. Now that you've entered the Tianjiao Palace, if they team up against you, we'll help you."

"That's right. Now they are bullying us to the extreme. Don't they think that there is no one in our Great Zhou Kingdom?" another young man said.

"Don't worry, Lord Shen. Although we are not strong, we can still contribute."

"For those weaker geniuses, if we three fight one, we can still clear a lot of obstacles for Lord Shen."

Everyone was talking at once, extremely excited.

Shen Bai touched his chin and said, "I appreciate your intention. Once you go in, life and death are determined by fate, so saving your own life is the most important thing. You are also the future pillars of the Great Zhou Kingdom."

These words sounded quite like those of the older generation.

But when everyone heard it, they didn't feel anything wrong.

After all, given Shen Bai's strength, it is normal for him to use this tone.

Zhou Qing held the long sword at his waist and said, "Old Shen, I can finally fight alongside you."

When he was in Shengyun County, Shen Bai took care of him. Now Zhou Qing has grown up and is much more stable than before.

Shen Bai nodded.

At this time, a different voice was heard.

"Heh, you guys are really working together, but in the face of absolute strength, everything is just empty talk."

Everyone looked in the direction of the voice and saw a young man with a playful look in his eyes.

"It's Li Ruofeng from the Dai Yue Kingdom. It is said that his strength has reached the Void Transformation Realm. He is good at the Soul-Slaying Hand, which specializes in attacking people's souls." Ouyang Jian said.

Li Ruofeng sneered and said, "Your intelligence is good, but intelligence alone is not enough. Shen Bai, after you go in, let us see your strength."

Shen Bai touched his chin and said, "Whose door was left unlocked and let the dog out?"

When these words were spoken, some people couldn't help laughing.

Li Ruofeng's expression changed slightly, and he said, "The advantage of the tongue."

Shen Bai said calmly: "You'd better pray for one thing."

Li Ruofeng frowned and said, "What do you want to say?"

Shen Bai smiled without saying anything, but the murderous aura on his body was as tangible as a substance.

When Li Ruofeng felt the murderous aura from Shen Bai, he felt as if he was being pressed down by a mountain and his whole body went numb.

At this moment, a voice sounded.

Eunuch Chen cleared his throat and said, "The time has come. Open the Tianjiao Hall."

As soon as he finished speaking, Eunuch Chen took out a sign from his hand.

The sign looked ordinary, as black as ink, but there was a special energy flowing on it.

When the sign was taken out, Eunuch Chen injected a stream of Qi into it.

Then, the sign emitted a white light and shot up into the sky.

The sky was originally blue, with white clouds floating in the sunshine.

But when the white light shot up into the sky, the white clouds were dispersed in an instant.

Then, the shadow of a huge palace appeared in the air.

The palace is magnificent and exudes an ancient and mysterious atmosphere.

Above the main entrance, there is a plaque with the words "Tianjiao Palace" written on it.

Eunuch Chen pointed in the air, and a terrifying invisible aura condensed on his finger, shot out and hit the door of Tianjiao Palace.

"boom!"

A roar suddenly appeared, and the white clouds in the sky were shattered by the residual force, forming an extremely huge vortex.

The door of Tianjiao Palace opened, and a golden staircase descended from the sky and landed on the ground.

The stairs are golden, like glowing gold, filled with a serious and solemn atmosphere.

When the staircase appeared, Eunuch Chen put his hands behind his back and spoke lightly.

"Climb the golden stairs and you'll enter the main gate of the Tianjiao Palace. Once you're through the main gate, I won't elaborate on the rules. There's only one thing you need to remember."

Everyone looked at Eunuch Chen with a hint of excitement in their eyes.

The geniuses from other countries had already heard about the Tianjiao Palace.

Although they are not the top forces in each country, they can gain benefits in the Tianjiao Palace, which will make their future path much easier.

In order to come to the Tianjiao Palace this time, even those who are the geniuses of various forces have put in a lot of effort.

This excitement is naturally normal.

Eunuch Chen put his hands behind his back, still looking up at Tianjiao Palace, without any change.

Four words slowly came out of his mouth.

"Life and death are determined by fate."

Just these four words, yet they exude an incomparably powerful aura.

People in this field are going against the will of heaven on the path of cultivation, overcoming all obstacles along the way. Naturally, they will come to understand the great terror between life and death.

Everyone nodded without saying anything else, and then, starting with the person at the front, they walked up the golden staircase one after another.

Shen Bai followed behind, and as soon as he stepped on the golden stairs, he felt a powerful force dragging him, as if sucking him towards the Tianjiao Palace.

Although the stairs are long and high, they are not tiring at all for those who practice cultivation.

Not long after, Shen Bai, Zhou Qing and others stepped into the gate of Tianjiao Palace together.

When Shen Bai stepped into it, he immediately felt a wonderful touch coming from all directions.

He only felt a warm light enveloping his entire body, as if he were in a sunny world.

But this feeling only lasted for a moment and then disappeared without a trace.

When everything in front of Shen Bai disappeared, he found that he was no longer at the gate of Tianjiao Palace, but had come to a mysterious space.

It was a chaotic place, a vast expanse of white. Apart from the sense of substance underground, there was nothing around.

"What's going on? I came in with Zhou Qing and the others, so why am I in this strange space?" A hint of doubt arose in Shen Bai's heart.

But this doubt was quickly dispelled after it arose.

The reason is simple: the surrounding whiteness has changed.

The white, radiant scenery disappeared, replaced by a vast wilderness.

There is lush green grass under your feet and the sky is blue and white.

Everything here exudes a sense of reality. If Shen Bai didn't know that he was in the Tianjiao Palace, he would even think that he had come to a real grassland.

Shen Bai didn't think much of the fantastic scene in front of him.

After all, not long ago, the emperor had told him that at least 70% of the area of ​​Tianjiao Palace had not been explored.

Every area is unfamiliar, even Emperor Shengwu is unfamiliar with it.

"So it's not just me, other people should also be isolated. This has disrupted my plans."

Shen Bai pulled Han Yue out of the scabbard and thought to himself.

His plan was to resolve the issue of Emperor Shengwu first, and then after coming in, give those geniuses from other countries a good beating.

But now everyone has been separated, and Shen Bai can't even find anyone, so this mission will naturally be postponed.

"Well, let me see what good stuff is in here."

Shen Bai threw his previous thoughts behind him and made a new one.

There are three purposes for this trip.

One of them is the mission of Emperor Shengwu.

The second is the request of Prime Minister Cao.

The third is to gain benefits in this Tianjiao Palace.

In fact, for Shen Bai, the most important thing is to get benefits.

Shen Bai stopped thinking and began to look around at the surrounding grassland.

A fiery red light flashed in his eyes, and his entire pupils turned as red as the sun.

After the Void-Breaking Red Eye reaches level 5, the detection range becomes larger.

Under the coverage of the Void-Breaking Red Eye, he immediately noticed something unusual.

Not far ahead, about a few hundred meters away, there were piles of skeletons.

Shen Bai thought for a moment, then circulated the Qi in his body, used his divine travel ability, and headed towards the location of the skeleton.

……

Just as Shen Bai walked towards the location of the skeleton, Zhou Qing and others were frightened and broke out in cold sweats.

After they entered the Tianjiao Palace, they found themselves in an unfamiliar environment.

Only Shen Bai disappeared.

"What's going on? Where's Old Shen?" Zhou Qing was surprised.

He knew that Shen Bai had come in with him, but why was he gone now? Qin Shuang also looked around, with a hint of anxiety in his eyes.

"Something's wrong. There's something terribly wrong in this Tianjiao Palace. Shen Bai should still be there. How could he suddenly disappear?"

Ouyang Jian had already drawn his sword and was looking around warily. He said, "You two, Brother Shen must have encountered an unusual situation. For now, let's not make any moves and resolve the current situation first."

What is the current situation?
Zhou Qing came to his senses and then realized something was wrong.

Besides them, there were also geniuses from the Great Zhou Kingdom and other countries around them.

At this moment, they were all looking for Shen Bai.

When they didn't find it, Zhu Qingyao and others in the lead showed a hint of hesitation.

According to their plan, Shen Bai and all the geniuses of the Great Zhou Kingdom should have been buried in this Palace of Pride.

But now Shen Bai suddenly disappeared, which also disrupted all their plans.

Zhu Qingyao and Li Ruofeng exchanged glances, and then re-implemented the plan that had been disrupted.

Zhu Qingyao just waved her hand, and many geniuses from other countries looked at each other and surrounded Zhou Qing, Qin Shuang and other geniuses from the Great Zhou Kingdom.

At this moment, the tension intensified, and a heavy atmosphere echoed around.

The geniuses of the Great Zhou Kingdom immediately realized that something was wrong and confronted the geniuses of other countries.

Zhou Qing frowned slightly and said, "It seems that you want to clash with us as soon as you come in. You want to take all the things in Tianjiao Palace for yourself, right?"

He spoke, and naturally no one else spoke.

After all, what Zhou Qing said was what everyone wanted to say.

Zhu Qingyao showed a hint of a sneer on her face, her white pupils gleaming with cold rays. "I originally planned to bury you and Shen Bai together, but now it seems that I have no choice but to change the plan and deal with you first."

Qin Shuang looked around coldly: "So that's how it is. Before coming here, you had already united together."

Li Ruofeng sneered, "Shen Bai has embarrassed all of us, so he must bear the consequences. Since you are all Shen Bai's friends and support him, then you should bear the consequences for him."

"Don't worry, Shen Bai is definitely still waiting for us in Tianjiao Palace. After we kill you and find him again, we will soon send him down to accompany you."

"Stop wasting time talking to them and get to work." Zhu Qingyao waved her hand, ready to send someone to get rid of Zhou Qing and the others immediately.

The expressions on Zhou Qing and others' faces became more and more solemn.

They had already sensed the looming murderous aura.

The lowest among the geniuses here are at the peak of the Unity Realm, and most of them are at the Void Transformation Realm.

However, the geniuses of the Great Zhou Kingdom only lingered in the realm of unity.

As for the so-called geniuses of the previous generation, although they were all at the Void Transformation Realm, their numbers were much smaller than those of other countries.

If a war really breaks out, they will definitely pay a huge price, or even be wiped out.

Ouyang Jian clenched the sword in his hand. He could already feel someone's gaze cast upon him.

He looked back and saw Wang Jiu, who had recovered, looking at him with a grim smile.

"Boy, Shen Bai beat me up like that for you. Now let me grab you and crush all the bones in your body."

The grim smile on Wang Jiu's face grew more and more severe.

Upon hearing this, Ouyang Jian retorted fearlessly, "With a muscle-bound, brainless thing like you, taking my life won't be that easy."

Wang Jiu clenched his fists, then looked at Zhu Qingyao and said, "Are you going to fight or not? If not, I'll go first."

After he finished speaking, he didn't say anything else, but turned into a shadow and pounced towards Ouyang Jian.

When he made this move, the other geniuses also moved, preparing to launch their strongest attacks.

But at this moment, Wang Jiu, who was rushing towards Ouyang Jian, suddenly flew backwards, half of his bones were broken, and he lay on the ground twitching constantly.

A figure yawned and appeared in the middle. He looked around and said.

"Everyone, don't get excited. The Tianjiao Palace is the most important thing right now. Everyone is a vital force. Why bother reducing our own personnel first?"

As soon as these words were spoken, many geniuses from other countries immediately raised their weapons and pointed them at their original companions.

These geniuses from other countries seemed to have suddenly rebelled.

Seeing this, Zhu Qingyao frowned slightly. "What are you doing? Don't forget, you signed a contract with me."

Nan Huang smiled slightly and said, "Miss, you are really smart. You even know how to use the contract to threaten me. Unfortunately, I happen to be able to break the so-called contract you mentioned. I am not talented enough. I was too lazy to move at the time, and I was worried that my elders would use the power of the contract to bind me, so I specially learned the relevant knowledge."

When Zhu Qingyao heard this, she understood why this situation had occurred.

All this is because of Nanhuang.

He instigated some people to rebel and released their contractual power.

As for the reason, Zhu Qingyao didn't know, but the situation had changed.

Li Ruofeng clenched his fists, a cold energy flowing between his fingers. "Zhu Qingyao, even if some of them have been instigated to rebel, it doesn't matter. Let's destroy them all together."

He couldn't wait to take action.

After all, the situation has developed to such an extent that it will be difficult to end it if we don't take action.

Unexpectedly, as soon as these words came out, they were countered by Zhu Qingyao's words.

"I said I won't do anything for now, don't you understand what I mean?"

Li Ruofeng was slightly stunned, his face changing from gloomy to bright.

He was spoiled by everyone in the power he belonged to. When had he ever been scolded so harshly by a woman?

But now, he didn't dare to talk back because he still had the power of the contract.

The contract will disappear only after this event is completed.

Wang Jiu was still howling miserably on the ground. Although Henglian Peak's skills allowed him to recover quickly, the pain was real.

Zhu Qingyao glanced back and said in a very bad tone: "If you shout again, we will send you away first."

Wang Jiu immediately shut his mouth, beads of sweat running down his forehead, but he didn't dare to say a word.

At this time, Zhu Qingyao turned her head and looked at Nan Huang, saying coldly: "I really misjudged you. I originally thought you were a lazy guy, but I didn't expect you to be so scheming."

Nan Huang yawned, looking sleep-deprived, and said, "I can't help it. I have responsibilities, and no matter how lazy I am, I can't do it. Since you don't plan to do it, how about we talk about what to do next?"

"How do you want to talk?" Zhu Qingyao said.

Nan Huang pointed ahead and said, "This is the Tianjiao Palace. You can get what everyone wants here. You just want to gain an opportunity. Why don't you join forces for now? One more person means more strength."

"As for your grudge with Shen Bai, it will naturally be resolved once Shen Bai appears."

Zhu Qingyao showed a trace of confusion on her face, but she quickly wiped it away: "Okay, I'll do as you say, but if you really need to fight for the opportunity, then it's not up to you."

Her original intention, in addition to Tianjiao Palace, was to kill Shen Bai.

After all, only Zhu Qingyao herself knew that there was an organization called Wancheng Times above her.

If I just took these resources, I wouldn't have to go through so much trouble.

But given the current situation, if Zhu Qingyao wants to implement her plan, it will probably cost a huge price.

If Shen Bai appears later, she may not be able to take him down.

So it’s best to pretend to cooperate first.

"It's very kind of you to agree."

Nan Huang breathed a sigh of relief: "I'm really afraid of trouble. You agreed. Now we are all in the same boat, so let's explore first."

It was surrounded by a larger indoor space with blue brick walls on all sides, and not far ahead was an aisle.

"Do you have any ideas?"

Zhu Qingyao looked at the aisle ahead and said, "Since the Great Zhou's geniuses are the weakest, how about letting them explore the front?"

Nan Huang shook his head and said, "No, no, no, we can't lose our companions for no reason. That will reduce our manpower."

"Then what are you going to do? It's impossible for us to explore it ourselves, right?" Zhu Qingyao asked.

There are opportunities and dangers in the Tianjiao Palace.

After she said this, the other geniuses all nodded.

This is the truth of the matter. It is impossible for them to explore first, otherwise they will encounter danger and lose their lives.

"Of course I know you don't want to go, but we can have a fortune telling before going."

Nan Huang took out a copper Bagua from his bosom and said, "I was very lazy at first, so I learned a Bagua-type arithmetic. It can calculate specific good and bad luck and avoid many dangers. So, I will be the one to explore the way, and you can just follow behind me."

Zhu Qingyao frowned and said, "How many kinds of skills have you learned? Is it just because you're lazy that this is the case?"

Nan Huang looked listless and said, "Yeah, because I'm lazy, I don't want to do a lot of things. And because I don't want to do a lot of things, I end up doing more and more things."

These few words are quite helpless.

But when everyone heard this, they didn't know what it felt like.

However, with Nan Huang's words, no one had anything to say.

Only Zhou Qing and a few others were communicating.

The situation before us seems to be safe for the time being, but danger is always around.

Nan Huang's sudden appearance and elimination of the crisis was actually for his own benefit.

Zhou Qing and others saw this very clearly.

After all, if they died, they would lack help if they encountered danger later.

Many geniuses also thought of this and clenched their fists.

They all knew that all this was due to the decline of the younger generation in the Great Zhou Kingdom.

But this feeling is not pleasant either.

An idea suddenly popped up in their minds.

"It would be nice if Lord Shen were here."

Unfortunately, after Shen Bai came in, he disappeared for some unknown reason.

They were all waiting, and when Shen Bai came back, they would have support.

Afterwards, no one said anything more. Nan Huang led the way in front with a copper compass, and the others followed behind him, walking towards the long alley.

……

Zhou Qing first encountered danger, but then escaped it.

On the other side, Shen Bai had already walked to the mountain of bones.

The scene ahead was eerie and tragic.

Bones were scattered all over the ground, piled up like mountains.

Every bone bears a deep-seated scar.

Nothing else.

"Why are there so many bones on this grassland?" Shen Bai fell into deep thought.

"If every genius who enters is like me, facing the situation of being separated, then are we facing the same thing?"

This thought suddenly popped into his mind.

If this is true, then the Tianjiao Palace will be extraordinary.

This method of division alone is a miracle.

Of course, this was just an idea, and Shen Bai quickly dismissed it.

He looked back and forth at the bones.

Under the investigation of the Red Eyes of Poxu, nothing abnormal occurred and nothing was found wrong.

"So there's nothing else here except a mountain of bones?"

With this thought in mind, Shen Bai planned to continue moving forward.

Since you can't find it, there's no need to look for it.

But then, an unusual scene appeared.

Shen Bai felt a slight vibration coming from the ground.

When the shaking came, the pile of bones in front of him trembled violently with the shaking.

Then, starting from the ground, it continued to turn into ashes all over the sky.

Although these bones seem to have been there for a long time, turning them into ashes cannot be achieved by just shaking them slightly.

When Shen Bai pulled out Han Yue, he always felt a faint fear surrounding his heart.

He circulated the Qi in his body and cast a spell to confuse his mind, which eliminated the fear and restored his inner peace.

The voices of Amber and Hongzhuang were heard from within the body.

"Master, this place exudes a mysterious and terrifying atmosphere. Be careful."

"Yes, Master, it's not only terrifying and mysterious, I even feel like it's targeting you."

Against me?
After hearing this, Shen Bai also fell into deep thought.

He suddenly had a bizarre idea.

——The others are all together.

After this idea came to mind, Shen Bai felt more and more that this was possible.

But now is not the time to think about these things.

Because the place that became ashes has changed again.

These ashes were actually constantly condensing in the sky. Starting from above, an extremely huge bone throne appeared in front of Shen Bai under the condensation of the ashes.

The throne is about ten feet high and looks extremely eerie and terrifying, exuding a cold aura.

When the bone throne appeared, it did not attack Shen Bai, but flew into the sky and flew in one direction.

Shen Bai was slightly stunned, then performed the Wuji Gua technique.

He planned to try and see if he could get any clues or predict good or bad luck.

After all, the scene before him was too bizarre.

A flying bone throne that is neither eerie nor strange, but exudes a chilling aura, making it no simple character by any means.

When Shen Bai began to calculate, the Wuji Gua Shu did not predict the clues, but the fortune changed.

In front of me, there is a golden color, which represents good luck.

With the foundation of the stepless hexagram technique, Shen Bai dispersed the Qi in front of him, used his divine travel ability to travel thousands of miles, turned into a residual image, and chased after the bone throne.

The bone throne flew very slowly, as if it was waiting for Shen Bai.

Shen Bai didn't chase him very quickly, just hung there from a distance.

Not long after, an extremely huge river appeared in front of them.

The bone throne fell into the river with a thud and then disappeared.

The ten-zhang-high bone throne can disappear into the river, which shows how deep the river is.

Shen Bai chased all the way, using the stepless divination technique to calculate good and bad luck at any time.

When he landed beside the river, all he saw was still golden.

The river was calm, and apart from the splashes caused by the bone throne falling into the water, there was nothing else here.

Shen Bai felt a little strange when he saw this scene.

"This bone throne didn't have any killing intent towards me. It even slowed down in mid-air, as if it was trying to lure me over."

Shen Bai stood by the river, thinking carefully.

"Now it's in the water again. Could it be that it wants me to jump into the river and continue to follow its trail?"

Thinking about it this way, Shen Bai really felt that this was possible.

Come here.

He also plans to give it a try.

Thinking of this, Shen Bai approached the river and looked towards the surging water.

But then, the scene before him completely shocked him.

The river surface is calm, reflecting a faint light.

And above the river, Shen Bai could see his own reflection clearly in the river because he was looking over.

Generally speaking, the river water is like a mirror. Even if the reflected shadow is blurry, it should be Shen Bai's appearance.

But when Shen Bai looked carefully, he found that the surface of the river reflected another face.

To be clear, this is not a reflection, but the face itself is at the bottom of the river.

At the bottom of the river, a man covered in pale skin was floating.

The man stared at him with eyes as dead as a fish.

Due to being soaked in water for a long time, the skin became as pale as paper and even slightly bulged.

When Shen Bai saw this man, he actually opened his mouth and gave Shen Bai a miserable smile.

At this moment, Shen Bai discovered that the hexagram of Wuji Guashu had changed.

The original golden color quickly disappeared, and then turned into ink-black.

At the bottom of the river, the pale man slowly stretched out his swollen right hand, crossed the distance of many spaces, and actually floated to the surface.

It took less than a breath for him to grab Shen Bai's neck.

"I've been on guard against this move from you for a long time."

Shen Bai's fingers brushed across Han Yue, and a blood-red sword energy, like a crescent moon, slashed at the man's right hand.

The bones in the man's right hand shattered and turned into ashes.

The blood-red sword energy fell into the water and strangled the pale man.

At this time, a cold breath came from the sky.

After Shen Bai swung out the sword, he did not hesitate and quickly used the skill of traveling a thousand miles to leave his original position.

Where he was originally standing, a ten-foot-tall giant skeleton fell from the sky and stepped into a deep pit in the ground.
