The walls of the cave emitted a dense white light, as if they had entered the body of some giant skeletal beast.
After walking through the long tunnel, they saw that there was another world inside.
In the center of the cave, a scarlet carpet was spread out. The masked Bone Messenger and the red-clothed Miaoyu stood on both sides.
Behind them were a few black-robed men, and they were vaguely divided into two groups.
The scarlet carpet stretched to the end.
At the end, bones were the stairs, and flesh and blood were the platform. On the high platform, there was a seat with ferocious bone spikes.
On the seat, there was a skeleton. It was weak and shriveled, as if it would fall apart with a gust of wind.
However, a voice sounded from the skeleton's empty mouth, "Who can tell me where the Netherworld Candle went?"
A black-robed old man knelt on the ground with a thud, "I'm useless!"
The voice was still empty, as if there was no emotion, "Then who can tell me who is responsible for this disastrous operation?"
The black-robed old man glanced at the Bone Messenger from the corner of his eye, but he saw that the Bone Messenger did not move at all, and had no intention of speaking up for him. He could only kowtow fiercely, "I … deserve to die."
Before he finished speaking, he suddenly raised his head and was horrified, "Great Elder! Please … "
A cold wind seemed to blow past.
A black robe fell to the ground, and under the black robe, there was only a pile of bone powder.
He died just like that.
"Indeed." The skeleton continued, "The White Bone Path has been passed down with difficulty until now, and many of its cultivation techniques are incomplete. The Netherworld Candle is a treasure of our sect, and its inheritance is hidden. It can help me complete the lost cultivation technique. However, you are so useless that you missed it for nothing! "
At this moment, the Bone Messenger said, "I remember that the Holy Maiden has a backup plan."
Miaoyu smiled charmingly, "With the Messenger's first move, there will be a backup plan. However, it has already been a few days. There's no news of my people either. I don't know if they were killed by Wei Quji or eaten by some wild cat or dog. "
The Bone Messenger smiled, "What first move? Why don't I know?"
"Alright." On the white bone seat, the skeleton said, "Since Wei Quji used the Netherworld Candle as bait, it means that he already knows that our White Bone Path stepped on his face. But he didn't know what the Dark Abyss Candle meant to us. After he has killed enough people, he will not be so concerned about the Dark Abyss Candle. I want you to dig three feet into the ground and find out who has the Dark Abyss Candle. "
"Yes." Everyone lowered their heads.
"Also, I have been making some big moves in the Cloud Kingdom recently. You all should keep a low profile." After the Great Elder finished speaking, the skeleton instantly fell apart. The white bones scattered on the bone seat.
Miao Yu waved her hand, and everyone in the cave dispersed, leaving only the Bone Envoy and her.
The White Bone Envoy snorted and said, "Third Elder used his body as a guide to condense the phantom image of the Gates of Hell. Is it for him to show off in the Yun Nation? "
"Isn't that so?" Miao Yu's brows furrowed slightly. "Great Elder doesn't seem to be interested in finding Daozi right now."
"Hahahaha." The Bone Envoy left with his hands clasped behind his back. "Daozi isn't here, so he's acting as the Sacred Master. If a Daoist appeared, he would really only be the Great Elder. What do you think he will choose? "
…
Jiang Wang was absent-minded every time he came to the academy.
This was because he had yet to lay his foundation. No matter how eloquent the instructors were, he could only practice in his heart. He couldn't quench his thirst, and he couldn't gain a deep understanding.
Compared to the other students, Jiang Wang was more willing to attend scripture classes. He enjoyed listening to the old teachers explain the principles of Great Tao and the classics of the saints.
However, he didn't dare to skip these classes in the academy, especially when this class was taught by Xiao Tiemian.
No one remembered Xiao Tiemian's real name anymore. Although he was only in the Seventh Stage Reaching Heaven State, his mastery of various basic Daoist techniques was profound. He was skilled and experienced.
Before the class started, Jiang Wang sat on the cattail hassock, somewhat absent-minded.
He was still recalling the blessed land challenge last night, but he couldn't analyze any more details.
When the battle started, he didn't even have time to draw his sword before he was killed by an arrow.
He dropped from the Green Jade Altar to the Light Altar, which ranked 25th. His monthly merit points decreased by another 100 points, leaving him with only 1650 points. In addition to the 190 points left from deducing the Four Spirits Training Technique, he had a total of 1840 merit points.
Outside of the Great Illusionary Land, he had 400 merit points left on the Daoist Merit Ranking. These were all of Jiang Wang's possessions related to cultivation.
Although Zhao Rucheng wouldn't use the academy's Meridian Unlocking Pill to open his meridians, he still exchanged for one. He probably wanted to hide something. He didn't want to talk about it in detail, so Jiang Wang didn't ask.
According to this kid's boast, he would use the most perfect Meridian Unlocking Pill to open his meridians. Unfortunately, he only had one and couldn't give it to Jiang Anan.
Jiang Wang then asked him how many merit points he needed to exchange for this "most perfect Meridian Unlocking Pill."
Zhao Rucheng didn't give him a specific amount. He only patted his shoulder and told him to work hard.
In short, there was still a long way to go before he could raise his sister.
While he was still in a daze, Xiao Tiemian had already walked up to the podium.
Jiang Wang quickly collected himself and pretended to listen attentively.
"Some people shouldn't think that their tails are in the sky just because they have some small achievements. The path of cultivation is very long. Young people, you must set your sights further. " Xiao Tiemian coughed. "Alright, let's talk about the specific application of the Stone Skin Technique in battle …"
Jiang Wang's heart skipped a beat. He didn't understand why he was being targeted again. However, he didn't dare to show it on his face. Instead, he became even more serious.
After the class, as soon as Xiao Tiemian left, Huang Azhan came over from the corner.
"Ahhh, that dead-faced guy! How can you tolerate him targeting you like this? Come with me tonight and smash his window. How about it, do you want to do it? "
When he saw Huang Azhan, Jiang Wang immediately understood why he was being targeted. This was probably what it meant when the city gates were on fire.
He was usually close to Huang Azhan, so Xiao Tiemian took note of him.
"If you want to go, go by yourself." Of course, Jiang Wang wouldn't play dumb with him.
"Let me tell you, this time I have a thorough plan …"
"Stop!" Jiang Wang stopped his long-winded speech and changed the topic. "We have a meal with Senior Brother Li Jianqiu. Do you want to come?"
"Hmph, you just don't believe me. Let me tell you, last time I was drunk. Otherwise, based on his Xiao … "Huang Azhan saw Jiang Wang turn and leave. He quickly chased after him." I'll go! "
Zhao Rucheng threw out a sentence carelessly. "We'll split the cost of the meal."
Huang Azhan pretended not to hear. He hugged Ling He's shoulder and began to talk about his counterattack plan.
Ling He had a generous personality. Although he definitely wouldn't wallow in the mire with him, he wouldn't deliberately despise him either.
Young Master Zhao really couldn't do anything to this senior brother from last year. His skin was so thick that it couldn't be penetrated.
The organizer of this meal was Li Jianqiu. He invited Jiang Wang and told him that he could bring some friends.
The location was at Vegetarian Restaurant. This restaurant's style was higher than Wangyue Restaurant. However, it mainly served vegetarian dishes. Jiang Wang and the others who ate big pieces of meat and drank big bowls naturally didn't come here much.
When they entered the private room, only Li Jianqiu sat alone.
Everyone was already familiar with each other. There wasn't much politeness and they directly started to eat the delicacies.
Du Yehu disliked vegetarian dishes the most. He especially scoffed at those so-called divine skills that used vegetarian dishes to make the taste of roast chicken or beef. His reason was that after spending so much effort, why not just eat roast chicken or beef directly? Zhao Rucheng summed it up with the word style. However, it was useless to argue with him.
Fortunately, Du Yehu wasn't present now. The others didn't have his problem.
During the meal, Huang Azhan talked about some anecdotes.
It was said that after Lin Zhengren returned to Wangjiang City, he was very satisfied. During the welcome banquet, he publicly announced that he was invincible in the Three Cities Dao Discussion. There was no one in Tri-Mountain City and Maplewood City. Zhu Weiwo had just returned to the Dao Academy. After hearing about this, he took his spear and left. He went down the Green Willow River with a lone boat and followed Qing River to Wangjiang City.
They should have already exchanged blows by now.
Jiang Wang said suspiciously, "From Lin Zhengren's performance in the Three Cities Dao Discussion, he's not someone with such a personality. He shouldn't have said those words, right?"
On the other hand, Li Jianqiu laughed, "Senior apprentice-brother Zhu just found an excuse to beat him up. Who cares if he said those words or not! Since it's spread, then let's just treat it as if he said those words. "
He had interacted with Zhu Weiwo more, so he naturally understood him better.
Although Jiang Wang had only met him once, he also felt that what Li Jianqiu said was very similar to Zhu Weiwo's style.
"Domineering!"
"Amazing!"
"Senior apprentice-brother is mighty!"
"Alright, he's not here. He can't hear you flattering him." Li Jianqiu waved his hand and went straight to the point, "The beast calamity in Tri-Mountain City has been very serious recently. Yesterday, their City Lord issued a reward and invited experts to help them eliminate the beasts. This is the largest operation in Tri-Mountain City in recent years. I'm preparing to form a team and go over. How about it, are you guys willing to go with me? "
