Bang!
The blue palm print shattered Jiang Wenxu's illusory palm print.
He passed through it and continued flying forward.
However, to Lu Zhou's surprise, the blue palm seal seemed to have struck an empty spot. It passed through Jiang Wenxu's projection and vanished on its own.
Jiang Wenxu remained standing where he was.
His figure gradually became hazy and blurry.
"No wonder … no wonder …" Jiang Wenxu's voice became softer.
"No wonder what?"
"We'll meet again … If you want to regain your memories, come to Lou Lan … Since you claim to be a Nine-leaf cultivator, I'll have to kill you again."
His words fell.
The shadow was like a modern projection. It flashed a few times and disappeared.
Realization dawned on Lu Zhou.
No wonder his figure looked so unreal, and no wonder his palm print was not red …
Lu Zhou walked into the cave and extended his palm.
The energy seal illuminated the cave.
In the middle of the cave, there was a large circular symbol that was filled with all kinds of strange symbols.
There were also obvious red runes around it. Perhaps because of the passage of time, the red runes had already peeled off.
From the looks of it, Jiang Wenxu had been guarding this place for a long time to prevent others from stealing Chi Yao from the Abyss?
On second thought, it did not make sense.
The 100,000-foot-deep abyss was not a place that ordinary cultivators could enter. Even an Eight-leaf cultivator would not be a match for Chi Yao. They might even end up in Chi Yao's stomach. In that case … Why is Jiang Wenxu standing guard here?
Lu Zhou remembered the environment in the abyss.
It was pitch-black, and the sun and moon could not be seen.
There was no end to the black seawater.
That place was definitely not the red lotus domain … Clearly, Jiang Wenxu's objective was to prevent the appearance of a Nine-leaf cultivator. In that case, the abyss was most likely a passageway to the red lotus domain!
Lu Zhou raised his wizened hand and smacked his forehead.
It was too late for him to figure out the crux of the matter.
If he was heading south of Heaven's Moat, then … the red lotus domain was most likely north of the Abyss.
"Yu Shangrong …"
Lu Zhou muttered Yu Shangrong's name. If Yu Shangrong ended up in the red lotus domain, he would be in grave danger.
Lu Zhou turned around and left the cave. He did not plan to stay any longer.
He stepped out of the chasm and dove down.
"Bai Ze."
…
Two days later, beside the bottomless abyss.
Si Wuya looked at the abyss and asked in confusion, "Fourth Senior Brother, don't you think there's something strange about this narrow abyss?"
"Strange?" Mingshi Yin shook his head.
"It's normal for cracks to appear in the mountains. The south is connected to the peak of Heaven's Moat. I've sent someone to investigate the north … It doesn't seem to be connected to Cloud Rage River. It seems to have suddenly disappeared," Si Wuya said.
"That's normal. It's a cliff after all," Mingshi Yin said.
"No … Fourth Senior Brother, look closely," Si Wuya said.
At this moment, Mingshi Yin studied the map Si Wuya drew.
Si Wuya explained, "When I was an official in the Imperial family, I saw a painting like this. At that time, I thought someone had drawn it randomly. Now that I think about it, what was painted in the palace was this Abyssal Chasm. "
"Crack?"
"That's right. This looks more like a rift. Cloud Rage River is downstream, and the peak of Heaven's Moat is upstream … The impact from upstream to downstream should be … plains. Why would a cliff suddenly appear? "Si Wuya asked.
Si Wuya was knowledgeable. It was not surprising that he knew about astronomy and geography.
Mingshi Yin understood now. He said, "Are you saying that there's something strange beneath the rift?"
"That's right." Si Wuya said, "With Second Senior Brother's abilities, he shouldn't have fallen to his death, and it's impossible for him to not be able to fly … Based on this, I'm sure there's some kind of force that's preventing him from flying up. In fact, he might even have fallen."
"You have a point." Mingshi Yin nodded.
"The person who painted the abyss in the palace is most likely the Imperial tutor …" Si Wuya said.
At this point, Mingshi Yin smiled.
"Now that you mention it, I heard from Ninth Junior Sister that master received a letter from the Imperial tutor and the Luo woman's notes from the palace."
Si Wuya's eyes brightened. A joyful expression appeared on his face. "Where?"
"You'll have to ask master. How would I know?"
Si Wuya seemed disappointed.
While the two of them were discussing the matter …
Young Yu Zhenghai appeared outside the palace and said, "Mingshi Yin, m-junior brother … Are you there?"
"I'm here, Eldest Senior Brother!"
Mingshi Yin ran out.
When he saw Yu Zhenghai's confused expression, he asked, "Eldest Senior Brother, do you still want to spar?"
"I'm curious. When I sparred with you before this, my saber technique was amazing, and I won at every turn. Why didn't it work when I sparred with Duanmu Sheng? "Young Yu Zhenghai asked.
Mingshi Yin. "???"
"I've asked Junior Sister Yuan 'er. She said that you're a Seven-leaf elite. With my current condition, I can't possibly defeat you. So … did you go easy on me?"
Mingshi Yin said, "Eldest Senior Brother, I'm innocent. We didn't use Primal Qi during our sparring sessions!"
One should not be afraid of a godly opponent, but one should be afraid of a pig-like teammate.
'Third Senior Brother, you've really put me through this!'
At this moment, Duanmu Sheng walked over with his Overlord Spear in hand. When he saw Mingshi Yin and Eldest Senior Brother, he said, "Old Fourth, let's go … Let's spar."
"Huh?"
"Hurry up. Don't dilly-dally. You can't even defeat Eldest Senior Brother. How are you going to become stronger if you don't practice hard?"
Clang!
The Overlord Spear struck the ground.
Mingshi Yin said in a wronged tone, "Alright … alright …"
"I'll go as well," Yu Zhenghai said.
The three of them left.
Pan Zhong and Zhou Jifeng walked out of the tent. "Mister Seventh."
"Come in."
Pan Zhong walked in and said, "Mister Seventh, the spy you asked me to contact has sent a letter. The 12 allied nations have been established. "
"What's coming has finally come." Si Wuya sighed and shook his head.
Zhou Jifeng asked, "Are these barbarians that confident?"
"It's been a long time since they severed their lotuses. Even Liu Gu is now an Eight-and-a-half-leaf cultivator. The Other Tribes will flourish after severing their lotuses. It's only natural for them to be confident … Besides, I suspect someone's pulling the strings behind the scenes," Si Wuya said.
The two of them nodded.
"What do we do now?"
"Wait for master's return," Si Wuya said.
"That's all we can do for now."
Without a Nine-leaf cultivator, Great Yan might not even be able to withstand the combined might of the five allied nations, let alone the 12 allied nations.
Meanwhile.
Young Yu Zhenghai watched as Duanmu Sheng and Mingshi Yin sparred.
After a while, he could no longer hold back his curiosity. He said, "Gentlemen …"
Duanmu Sheng and Mingshi Yin stopped and bowed at the same time. "Eldest Senior Brother, please enlighten us."
"I dare not." Young Yu Zhenghai was not used to being the Eldest Senior Brother at all. "I'd like to spar with Junior Brother Duanmu Sheng."
Duanmu Sheng was straightforward as well. He said, "Please enlighten us, Eldest Senior Brother."
Mingshi Yin was relieved that he had dodged a bullet. He took several steps back.
Yu Zhenghai and Duanmu Sheng retreated.
"Eldest Senior Brother, you haven't recovered your Primal Qi. Let's just compete with saber techniques and spear techniques."
"Alright."
"This technique of mine is called the Hundred Blazing Strikes. I can unleash 100 attacks in an instant. Take this, Eldest Senior Brother." Duanmu Sheng brandished his Overlord Spear.
Yu Zhenghai wielded his Jasper Saber and said, "Come."
Duanmu Sheng sped forward. Spear shadows overlapped and shot out 100 of them in an instant.
Bam! Bam!
Bam! Several spear shadows struck Yu Zhenghai's saber and sent him reeling.
He stabbed his saber 100 times.
Yu Zhenghai could not retaliate at all. All he could do was defend himself.
Mingshi Yin covered his eyes with his hands. 'What the hell! No wonder Eldest Senior Brother is here to punish me. Third Senior Brother, you're not holding back at all!'
Bam! Bam!
The final few spear shadows sent Yu Zhenghai reeling.
Puh!
Young Yu Zhenghai spat out a mouthful of blood.
Duanmu Sheng was shocked. "Eldest Senior Brother!"
He tossed his Overlord Spear aside and charged forward.
"Eldest Senior Brother!" Mingshi Yin was shocked as well. This time, he did not care about Duanmu Sheng's identity as his Senior Brother. He immediately scolded Duanmu Sheng, "Third Senior Brother, you … you know Eldest Senior Brother hasn't recovered yet. Can't you just let him win?"
"I …" Realization dawned on Duanmu Sheng. He blamed himself. "Eldest Senior Brother!"
"With Eldest Senior Brother's strength, killing a Brahman Sea Realm cultivator is his limit. Look at you! You're a Nascent Divinity realm cultivator, and you're a Four-leaf cultivator after severing your lotus. Look at you! You defeated Eldest Senior Brother!" Mingshi Yin stood behind Yu Zhenghai and channeled his Primal Qi into him.
"Ah … I got carried away for a moment! All I thought about was defeating Eldest Senior Brother! "Duanmu Sheng raised his hand and slapped himself.
With this slap, Mingshi Yin was too embarrassed to continue speaking.
The others were attracted by the commotion as well.
The two elders, Si Wuya, Little Yuan 'er, and Conch rushed over.
"Eldest Senior Brother!" The others looked worried.
After Mingshi Yin was done channeling his Primal Qi, he said with a grim expression, "Eldest Senior Brother's vitality seems to be depleted."
PS: Three things need to be said: 1. There is only one map, and it is very, very big. I have said this before, and the final map is very beautiful (I think so). It will also fill in all the holes in the settings. 2. Don't worry about the strength system. I can write 1.5 million words without collapsing, so why worry about my strength? The Invincible Style would crumble at the beginning. 3. Great Yan was the core. Currently, there were many traps in Great Yan that had yet to be buried. For example, the Lou Lan and the 12 nations, the Luo woman, and the secret in the memory crystal, especially the memory crystal. Hence, they had to take it slow and steady to break out of the novice village. You're not mistaken. Great Yan is only a beginner's village (no spoilers). Today, it was another ten thousand words. This time, I'm still in the Silver Alliance. I'm begging for recommendation votes and monthly votes.
