Inside the cave, the light and shadow are dappled, and there are many stalagmites, just like a natural underground palace. A faint blue halo shines from the cracks in the cave wall, adding a touch of mystery and tranquility to this deep space.
The palace skirt is swaying, and the pearls are swaying gently.
Gu Qingchan's figure appeared in the cave, like a bright sapphire, instantly attracting the attention of everyone present.
"Qingchan." Yunyin Jianfeng Wuhen looked at Gu Qingchan in surprise, with a warm smile and a gentle expression.
He and Gu Qingchan were geniuses of the same era, and they were both on the rookie genius list back then. The difference is that at that time, it was Gu Qingchan's time. Even though his talent was usually enough to rank first among rookies, he could only be suppressed by Gu Qingchan and ranked second.
Countless attempts, countless failures, the top spot of the rookie list has never been changed. But he is still extremely lucky, because looking at the talent list of rookies, he is the one closest to Qingchan, and he is also the only one who can barely keep up with Qingchan's entry.
At that time, Gu Qingchan was a high mountain for all the geniuses of his generation. Even for him, it's the same! At that time, he thought it might be difficult to catch up with this woman in his life.
It's just that things are unpredictable. I don't know when Qingchan's cultivation speed suddenly slowed down. He seized the opportunity, came from behind, took the lead in breaking through the Yuheng Pass, and achieved the status of Grandmaster.
The first thing he did when he became a grandmaster was to reveal his feelings to Gu Qingchan and intend to marry her. At that time, he went to the Gu family to ask for marriage as a proud master. With his demeanor at that time, if he wanted to marry him, there was a high probability that he would get what he wanted.
This was also the case. Although the Gu family was not happy to see his marriage proposal come to fruition, they did not obstruct it and asked Gu Qingchan directly for his opinion.
At that time, he stood outside the courtyard, his heart racing and his face full of anticipation, waiting for Gu Qingchan's reply. He remembered that day very clearly. The sky was cloudless and the sun was high in the sky. It was an excellent sky. Or it means his bright future.
Can be final.
Because of Gu Qingchan's words of "I don't want to", the matter was left alone.
After that, he wanted to find another opportunity, but he heard the news that Gu Qingchan had broken through Yuheng Pass and entered the realm of Grandmaster.
Even if they are as powerful as the Gu family, they will not let the master marry outside easily. This matter is much more difficult than before.
But he was never a person who gave up easily. After going through hardships, he finally took a step forward and entered the middle stage of Yuheng. In the days that followed, he tried his best to use his contacts and find opportunities to facilitate this matter. However, Gu Qingchan lived in seclusion and he didn't even have a chance to contact her. For a long time after that, he did not make any new breakthroughs.
Over the years, he had practiced swordsmanship hard, and his thoughts about Gu Qingchan seemed to have faded a little.
But not long ago, the news came that Gu Qingchan had entered the middle stage of Yuheng, which made his heart become excited again. After learning that Gu Qingchan was about to support the encirclement and suppression of Ten Thousand Demons, he even took the initiative to ask Ying to come and preside over the overall situation on behalf of the Prefecture Town Fusi. To this end, he used many connections.
Looking at the beauty in the palace dress arriving in the distance, Feng Wuhen felt an indescribable throbbing in his heart. Even though he had practiced swordsmanship for many years, he could not suppress this sudden wave of throbbing.
Although he cultivates swords, he cultivates the Sword of Love! Those who are extremely passionate are extremely skilled in swordsmanship!
Dreams from childhood are always unforgettable.
"Master Feng."
Compared to Feng Wuhen's surprise, Gu Qingchan's reaction was undoubtedly much duller. She bowed politely, responded to Feng Wuhen's greetings, and distanced herself in time.
"Xianzi Gu." Situ Ba, the Broken Saber Sword, had a rich voice, and he had a sharp edge that was unique to a swordsman:
"Master Situ." Gu Qingchan had a well-placed smile on her face, but she didn't show too much emotion.
"Master Feng, Master Situ." Qu Zhaocheng, the Fist of the North Star on the side, greeted the two with cupped fists. As a Grandmaster, generally speaking, he will be the center of attention wherever he goes. But at this time, standing together with Gu Qingchan, there was a tendency to be ignored.
"Gu Xianzi."
"Lord Qu."
The other three grandmasters present came to greet him one after another. These grandmasters were basically the core elders of the top forces in Canglong State.
Seeing that Gu Qingchan's reaction was dull, Feng Wuhen was not disappointed. He has been practicing swordsmanship since he was a child, and he has always been unyielding. The same is true for the way of swordsmanship, and the same is true for emotional matters. A mere setback could not cause waves in his heart.
Gu Qingchan smiled slightly and greeted him, which meant that he still had a chance.
Chen Ping'an stood in the distance and watched several masters communicating with each other. During the exchange, there was faint real energy flowing around their bodies, which meant that they were isolating the inside and outside. Chen Pingan used his methods and was able to hear the conversations of several people clearly. But if you do this forcefully, there is a high chance that you will be discovered. After all, he is not the only one who has entered the middle stage of Yuheng.
Although Chen Pingan couldn't hear the conversation clearly, he could see the situation clearly. Yunyin Jianfeng Wuhen seemed to be talking to Gu Qingchan, with a warm expression and a smile on his face.
Gu Qingchan looked dignified and smiled slightly. Her eyes are clear and seem to hide a thousand mountains and rivers, making it difficult for people to peek into her heart.
"Ice Soul Divine Needle Gu Qingchan, Broken Saber Situ Ba, Yunyin Sword Wind Wuhen, Beidou Divine Fist Qu Zhaocheng" Chen Pingan looked at the people in the distance. At this time, a total of seven masters gathered in the underground cave. Three Jade Hengs are in the middle stage and Four Jade Hengs are in the early stage.
Yan Shibao, the master of Jiyun Tuishan, was not seen in the figure of the grandmaster. He must have other tasks. In order for this round of siege to come to a successful conclusion, in addition to conquering the secondary altar, we must also ensure that the remnants of all demons cannot escape. There will naturally be grandmasters guarding the periphery.
It seems that besides Yan Shibao, the master of Jiyun Tuishan, there should be other masters here.
"There are many masters present, so this siege does not require much effort."
Chen Ping'an looked at it for a while and then stopped paying attention. He closed his eyes slightly and stopped thinking.
Zhong Zeyu stood beside Chen Pingan, his expression extremely strange.
He looked at Yunyin Jianfeng Wuhen, who seemed to be courting Gu Xianzi in the distance, and then looked at Chen Ping'an beside him, who was calm and composed, with his eyes closed.
Zhong Zeyu opened his mouth and wanted to say something, but nothing came out. At this time, his mood was complicated, with envy, admiration, and jealousy, and various emotions mixed with each other. Especially when he saw Gu Xianzi's slightly cold reaction in front of Feng Wuhen, his emotions became even more intense.
One is effortless, the other is impossible. Master Chen, he is really.
A role model for our generation!
After Gu Qingchan arrived, everyone did not stay in the underground cave for long. It seems that a tacit understanding has been reached among the several masters and they have begun to take action.
The caves extend in all directions, but they have no plans to divide their forces.
Right now they are in the light and all the demons are in the dark. If we divide our troops rashly, we may run the risk of being divided and destroyed. It is only prudent to unite our troops and conquer them together. However, there are still some elites left in the cave.
Some elites stay here. In addition to being used as a base camp for security and defense, they can also be used as mobile personnel to provide effective support.
In this round of encirclement and suppression, they are powerful, and they are not afraid of being exploited by the Ten Thousand Demons Sect. Even if it is the Deputy Altar of Ten Thousand Demons, there are at most only a few masters in it. With their elite troops coming out together, they will be able to overwhelm the Ten Thousand Demons Cult.
People who hold this idea account for almost the vast majority of the elite present. And in the process of in-depth encirclement and suppression, this is indeed the case. Apart from touching some agencies, they encountered almost no decent resistance. And with the Grand Master sitting in charge, these institutions did not exert their power as they should have.
The unexpected success of the encirclement and suppression campaign made many people feel inflated.
"These ten thousand demon thieves must be hiding!"
"That's right, seeing us and the heavenly soldiers here, all the demons and thieves have already retreated."
"Find their hiding places and deal with them all."
"."
But there are some sensible ones among them.
"Better be careful. There might be some conspiracy."
"Well, everyone should be careful and don't be careless."
"."
Many elites followed the Grandmaster step by step deeper. There will be some more stone chambers and stone palaces in the middle. Instead of dividing their forces, everyone moves forward steadily and steadily.
Uh-huh!
Chen Ping'an walked into a stone room, and with a flash of sword light, a demon thief hiding in the dark stared and fell to the ground.
"Is there no one else?"
Chen Pingan was a little curious.
After probing for so long, no decent resistance was encountered. Where are these demon thieves hiding? Is there any secret room that they haven't discovered?
While Chen Pingan was thinking, there was a burst of noise outside.
"Found it! Found it!"
"Blood Flame Cave! It should be here."
Chen Pingan's expression changed and he walked out of the stone room. On the side of the stone palace in the distance, there was a broken stone wall, revealing a secret door. The stone surface was mottled, revealing the vicissitudes and mystery of history.
The secret door is not big, just enough for two people to enter. On the top of the secret door, there are several large characters carved in blood red.
Blood Flame Cave!
The stone jade on the outside of the secret door seems to have some effect of isolating induction. If not checked one by one, even the grandmaster would not be able to detect it based on induction alone.
A top expert just tried and struck with all his strength, but failed to blow open the stone door. The material of the stone door looked unusual.
"There's something." Chen Ping'an's eyes fell on the blue stone material. He wanted to collect some research, but he had already been treated as trophies by the people around him. "Blood Flame Cave?" The secret door also attracted the Grandmaster's attention. Situ Ba, who had broken the saber, drew out the broadsword that lay across his body, preparing to open the secret door with one strike.
"Master Situ, I'll do it." Yunyin Jianfeng Wuhen stepped forward and said with a smile.
"Okay." Situ Ba said nothing and immediately sheathed his sword.
Feng Wuhen's attitude towards Gu Qingchan was too obvious. Even he could see Feng Wuhen's enthusiasm. Now that the other party has spoken, he is naturally happy to give him face.
Feng Wuhen stood still in front of the stone door, his eyes suddenly changed. It is deep and firm, as if it can penetrate the dust of thousands of years and look directly at the unknown world. As the true energy circulates, his clothes and hair automatically move without wind, adding a sense of elegance out of thin air.
Whoosh!
Feng Wuhen suddenly moved, his long sword was unsheathed, and a cold light flashed, like the brightest star in the night sky, illuminating everything around him.
"Whoosh -" the sword chanted, and the Yunyin Sword stretched out like a dragon soaring through the sky. The tip of the sword cut through the air, causing a sharp whistle and pointing directly at the center of the stone door. This sword is so majestic that it seems to be able to cut through all obstacles in the world.
"Boom!"
With a deafening bang, the surface of the stone door began to crack, and the cracks spread rapidly, spreading throughout the entire stone door like a spider web. Immediately afterwards, huge boulders burst apart and flew everywhere, creating a storm of dust and gravel.
Amidst the roars, the stone door collapsed completely and turned into countless fragments scattered on the ground, revealing the dark passage behind it.
"Such a strong sword intent!" Feeling the remaining sword intent around him, Fist of the North Star Qu Zhaocheng said to himself with solemn eyes.
"Yunyin Sword?" A hint of fear appeared in Chen Ping'an's heart.
This sword is majestic, sharp, and extremely powerful! Ordinary masters can't resist it at all.
If this sword fell on him, even if he was wearing Xuanbing silk armor and using all his strength to activate his magical power, he would probably...
The skin is broken!
Amid everyone's exclamations, Feng Wuhen sheathed his sword and stood proudly in front of the stone gate passage. His figure was tall and straight, like a lone crane among the pines, exuding an indescribable sense of freedom and pride.
This is the freedom and ease of a swordsman, and also the romance of a swordsman.
He turned around slowly, his eyes falling gently and expectantly on the woman standing not far away, hoping to catch a hint of surprise, admiration or admiration in her eyes.
Gu Qingchan's eyes were clear and calm as water. The sword strike just now seemed not to have touched her at all.
A flash of disappointment flashed in Feng Wuhen's heart, but he dispelled it in a flash.
"Qingchan, you can come in."
Gu Qingchan nodded slightly and walked towards the dark passage. When Gu Qingchan passed by Feng Wuhen, the fragrance flowed, which made his mind wander. He gathered his nerves and quickly followed in. The situation inside was unknown, and he would not let Gu Qingchan face it alone.
Situ Ba, Qu Zhaocheng and others followed closely behind.
"Come in!"
"Yes!" Everyone cheered in unison, holding weapons and heading into the passage.
Looking at the crowd, Chen Pingan walked in with light steps.
boom!
As soon as he stepped in, there was a loud noise inside.
"Found it?" Chen Pingan was calm and quickly ran towards the passage. In front of the Grandmaster, he did not use all his strength to sense, but just locked the sensing range within a very small range.
"Found it! The demon thieves are here, suppress them quickly!"
boom!
There was a sound coming from the passage, and everyone outside suddenly became excited.
"His grandma's belongings were finally found!"
"It's really here."
"Thousands of demons and thieves, where can I escape!"
"."
Everyone rushed in, but due to the narrow passage, not too many people could pour in at once. With so many masters present, they felt extremely calm. For them, finding the gathering place of all the demon thieves is a reward that they are about to gain.
Credit comes first, no one is in a hurry.
Except for a few people who were on guard outside, the rest of the people headed towards the passage.
However, fortunately, they are all the elites of the Zhenfu Division and other major forces, and the overall order is still within control.
boom! boom! boom!
The passage is long and narrow, and Chen Ping'an has not completely walked out of the passage. There were bursts of roaring sounds from deep inside. His eyebrows flashed spiritually, and he instantly sensed the violent and mixed aura in the distance.
"It's the Master of Ten Thousand Demons!"
Whoosh!
Chen Ping'an was holding the Crocodile Golden Flame Knife and his figure was flashing.
At the end of the passage is an extremely wide space, where many uncontacted elites have been massacred with the thieves of the Ten Thousand Demon Cult.
Chen Ping'an glanced at it, and a trace of astonishment appeared on his face.
"Six Grandmasters of Ten Thousand Demons! Why so many?"
Six unfamiliar auras in the field were fighting with Yunyin Jianpo Saber and others. The surrounding aura was violent and blood was shining.
"Die!"
A demon thief fell from the sky, flashing with a strange bloody light. He had already seen the scene of the young man's death below.
During the encirclement and suppression, you actually dared to be distracted?
Uh-huh!
Chen Ping'an didn't even raise his head, and a faint blue sword light appeared. The demon thief in the sky fell into a pool of blood with disbelief in his eyes.
Rumble~
There was a loud noise, and Chen Ping'an had a flash of inspiration and discovered that the dark and narrow passage behind him was in danger of collapsing. Not only that, there were screams one after another from the other side of the passage.
Balls of blood mist suddenly fell from above and began to spread at an extremely fast speed.
"Poisonous fog!"
Chen Ping'an's expression changed, and he instantly realized something was wrong.
"Not good!"
"Ambush!"
"Ah!"
"Damn it!"
"."
There seemed to be a strange toxin in the blood mist. The moment it came into contact, I felt that my whole body was sore and weak, and my true energy was dull. Many elites in the encirclement and suppression campaign are fighting with the demon thieves. However, the sudden appearance of the blood mist caused a burst of ambiguity in their internal energy. They were caught off guard and instantly fell into a disadvantage.
"What kind of poison is this?" Chen Ping'an's eyebrows flickered, and green light circulated around him, blocking out the poisonous mist. "Can it actually influence the Grandmaster?"
With his current strong physique, it stands to reason that he can be immune to most poisonous mist. But he just tried it and found that the poisonous mist was extraordinary. He felt something was wrong as soon as he came into contact with it. Although it would not make him completely powerless, it would not affect some of his strength.
"Be careful with this blood mist! The true energy protects the whole body and isolates it from the outside!" A voice sounded in the field.
Everyone present held up their zhenqi shields. It's better to enter the Xuanguang realm, as it can block the blood mist. But before reaching Xuanguang, even though it was protected by inner energy, it was quickly eroded by the blood mist, and finally fell to the ground helplessly.
In a corner of the dim and messy battlefield, a thief from the Ten Thousand Demons Cult had a ferocious smile on his face, trying to kill an Inner Qi Realm who had fallen to the ground helplessly.
"Die!" The demon thief's eyes flashed with bloodthirsty light.
Uh-huh!
Chen Ping'an's body flashed, and he slashed out with a sword. The gray and white mixed with blue sword light drew a bright trajectory in the air.
The smile on the demon thief's face froze instantly, his body split into two, blood spurted out, dyeing the surrounding land red, and a strong smell of blood filled the air.
Waves of majestic martial arts will surged like angry waves.
Inside the cave, mysterious light flashes and true essence collides.
The whole scene was chaotic. (End of chapter)
