Alienated Martial Arts

At the foot of Qinglin Mountain, Qizhou Fucheng.

The Northern Wilderness was weak, and the clouds of war that shrouded the entire land quietly dissipated.

Once the news was confirmed and spread, firecrackers went off in the streets and alleys, making it even more joyful and festive than during the New Year.

However, the Jieduzhi's residence was silent, and there was even a dull and depressing feeling.

It's in stark contrast to the outside.

It was early summer and the weather was already getting hot in the afternoon.

There were even cicadas starting to hiss in the trees, making a sharp cry.

In the small living room, Feng Qingping sat on the side and chatted with Ni Xun beside her while drinking tea.

After some time passed, Miss Feng's martial arts practice was on the right track, and her whole body was full of energy, and her original weak and declining appearance had long disappeared.

The young female attendant stood beside her, looking at her nose, nose, mouth, and heart. She seemed to have fallen into deep sleep.

Not long after, Feng Yunhai hurried from outside.

"We were busy just now, so we kept Ni Daozi waiting for a long time."

He bowed, said nothing else, and handed over several pieces of paper filled with words in his hand.

Ni Hao opened it and read it carefully.

After reading it carefully from beginning to end, she couldn't help but frown slightly, "According to the information you have obtained, in just a few months, the Spiritual God Religion has grown to such a scale that it is as astonishing as wildfire igniting a prairie fire."

"Also, it is said that there are people in the Spiritual God Sect who can heal dead people, turn flesh into bones, turn stones into gold, and scatter beans into soldiers. Are these true things that have been witnessed by people with their own eyes?"

"Returning to Ni Daozi, according to the reports from the six gates of spies, it may be true that the healing of human flesh and white bones is true. They have not seen the next two magical powers with their own eyes, but only heard what the spiritual believers said."

When Feng Yunhai said this, he sighed lowly, "My father is very worried about this. He is worried that the chaos of the Qinglian Sect thirty years ago will happen again, turning many places in Qizhou into a white field."

"The Taoist master is also very concerned about this matter, so after receiving your secret message, he asked me to go down the mountain immediately."

Ni Hao nodded, carefully put away the paper sign in his hand, stood up and walked towards the door.

Qingnv opened her eyes at this moment and followed a few steps behind.

The two of them walked non-stop and soon left the mansion and came to the street where people were coming and going.

After walking along the long street for a while, Ni Xun suddenly stopped and turned to look at the teahouse on one side.

Qingnu followed her line of sight and turned her head, her eyes fell on the open window on the second floor, but she found nothing.

Ni Hao bowed slightly and saluted the empty window.

Qing Nu didn't know why, and she had many doubts in her heart.

However, he still followed Ni Xun's actions and bowed in the same manner.

But at the next moment, her pupils suddenly shrank, and a slender figure in white was reflected inside, quietly coming into view out of nothing.

"Is she a human or a ghost?"

"This weird and weird feeling, it's like she doesn't want me to see it, so I can't see it, and even my perception is completely blocked."

Qingnv stared blankly at the woman in white and returned the favor with a smile. She even thought that she was in a trance just now and might be hallucinating.

After a while, the two of them arrived at the private room upstairs in the tea shop.

Ni Hao sat behind the table and looked down at the chessboard on the table, "I thought Senior Sister Sun had been staying in Sanshan overseas, but I didn't expect to see Senior Sister in Qizhou Fucheng."

Sun Xiyue smiled slightly, "I happened to meet the warriors of the Clover Clan before, so I planned to enter the Northern Wilderness directly. However, when I arrived in Qizhou, I remembered the original chess game, so I took a turn and came to Fucheng."

"The original chess game..."

Ni Hao's eyes flashed and he asked casually, "Who is Senior Sister Sun playing chess with?"

“Last autumn, I played against Uncle Wei here for several days, losing forty-nine games, and finally won one.

Inexplicably, I responded to the artistic conception of "Fifty Dao Dao, 49 Tianyan", and escaped from one of them. Since then, I have been deeply moved when I think about it. "

"Uncle Wei?"

"Yes, even Wei Daozi's father gave me a lot of inspiration, allowing me to take a further step on the road of invisibility."

When Sun Xiyue said this, she picked up the tea cup and took a sip, "I originally came here to express my gratitude, but I found that the old man no longer lives in Fucheng, and I don't know where he is now."

Ni Hao said, "Uncle Wei is currently living on Qinglin Mountain, and Junior Sister Dingxuan Yunhong is also temporarily staying in our sect to recuperate."

"I almost forgot that Taoist Master Qi also stayed at Shanmen for a while after returning from the Northern Wasteland. After his body recovered a little, he returned south to the Central Plains."

Sun Xiyue thought thoughtfully, "It can make Tao Master and Junior Sister Yun injured at the same time. It seems that after the emperor's corpse resurrected, a lot of things happened in the Northern Wasteland."

After a pause, she suddenly asked, "Where is Wei Daozi? Why didn't you see him and Junior Sister Ni together?"

Ni Hao secretly sighed and said, "Junior Brother Wei is still in Beihuang, and I don't know when he will come back."

The atmosphere in the private room suddenly became silent.

The two of them drank tea in silence, and no one spoke again.

Time passed little by little.

Until the whole pot of tea is drunk.

Ni Hao then raised his head and said, "Senior Sister Sun has been walking all the way from east to west. Have you ever heard of or seen an organization called the Lingshen Sect?"

"Spiritual God Cult..."

A flash of light flashed in Sun Xiyue's eyes, "I did hear someone mention this name, but I didn't see their followers, so I didn't take it too seriously."

"However, since it was mentioned by Junior Sister Ni herself, I guess there should be something to pay attention to."

…………

……………………

Several figures walked quickly through the depths of the wilderness.

The sky gradually darkened.

Darkness soon enveloped the land, driving away the remaining light.

"After walking for so long, I haven't seen a decent gathering place of people."

"If I hadn't met a few poor warriors in the afternoon, I would have thought I was in a dead place."

"If I had known better, I shouldn't have killed those unfortunate ghosts. If I had left them as guides, it would have been better than our aimless search."

The leading woman stopped and looked up at the stars in the night sky.

Her voice felt cold and slippery, like a long snake swimming across the surface of the skin.

After a short rest, the group continued walking north.

The time came to midnight.

When they stopped again, they could already vaguely see the outline of the mountains in the distance.

"There should be Kongwu Mountain ahead."

The woman in black looked from a distance, her eyes flashing, "According to what those guys said, after passing through Kongwu Mountain, you will truly come to the Xuanbing Sea. You can find the mysterious mirage place where the gods are lingering, and complete what the young master told you. Order."

"However, the distance is already so close, why can't we still perceive the existence of God's will? Has it been discovered by others first and captured in their pocket?"

Speaking of this, she frowned slightly, stretched out her hand to touch the mist that quietly appeared at some point, and faintly felt some sudden chill from it.

Looking at the hazy mountain in front of her again, the woman suddenly felt a little nervous, and an indescribable feeling of depression came to her heart.

The surrounding temperature seemed to have dropped.

She even felt that she was stepping into the road of despair and death, and that if she took another step forward, she would lose her life.

After a moment of silence, she decided to continue moving forward, submerging herself into the thickening fog.

Although the warning signs in her heart kept beating, reminding her that there was danger deep in the gray mist and it was best not to move forward, but finding the mysterious mirage secret place and discovering the traces of divine will was the order given by the young master.

For her, obeying orders and completing tasks is an instinct. It has been deeply engraved in her mind, and she dare not slack off at all.

Since it is the Young Master's order, then do it without any conditions.

And you have to try your best to do your best without making any mistakes.

Even if it costs his life.

Not long after, some enlightenment suddenly arose in her heart.

This is not a cold mist.

Rather, it is the intention of death that is spreading rapidly.

It seemed as if some terrifying demon was about to come here and appear in front of her soon.

The woman took a deep breath and exhaled slowly. Her heartstrings became tighter and tighter, almost reaching the limit of endurance.

Suddenly, there was a soft snap.

It reached her ears without warning.

She shuddered and turned around like lightning to look back.

Only a figure wearing a hood and a black robe appeared quietly a few steps away.

"Son..."

She breathed a sigh of relief and quickly curtsied.

"Ning Hua, your movements are too slow."

"It even made me think that you climbed all the way here."

The man in black lifted his hood, revealing a face covered with ferocious scars.

He slowly came to the woman and stared with her at the billowing gray fog ahead.

"I asked you to search for the place where God's will appeared, but after a few days, you didn't make any valuable discoveries. I had to come here in person, which delayed our precious time in planning other things."

"Going back to the young master, my subordinates only found out today that there is a secret place of the Mysterious Mirage deep in the Black Ice Sea, which is most likely to be related to divine will."

"Don't say these meaningless nonsense, you know I always only want the results and don't care about the process leading to the results."

The man in black's tone turned cold, and he turned to look at her, which immediately silenced the woman, not even daring to say a word.

He walked slowly, carefully observing the substantial gray fog, and a delighted smile appeared on his face.

"It is indeed a world that can make that great person feel something. Even if there is no other gain from this trip, as long as we can find the source of these dark and dead energy, it will be regarded as a worthwhile trip."

After walking some distance, the man in black suddenly stopped.

"It feels like a cultivator is about to arrive."

He was silent for a moment, then raised a cold smile on his lips, "No matter who it is, it can only be said that they were unlucky, and they bumped into me just when I was in a bad mood.

Just like the so-called martial arts masters in this world, and those few warlocks who don't know how to live or die, they speak loudly enough to fill the world, but in the end they are completely vulnerable. "

The next moment, the fog filled with death began to surge violently.

The man in black had no expression on his face, closed his eyes and waited quietly.

boom!

Suddenly a strong wind blew up and thunder rumbled.

It also shook the people behind him to stagger, and they tried their best to control their body shape.

"Sir, in front!"

Accompanied by a hoarse scream, the man in black snorted and slowly opened his eyes.

"Ning Hua, I've already sensed something. Don't yell here and lose your proper sense..."

Halfway through his words, he suddenly fell silent.

His pupils suddenly shrank to the size of a pinhead, and he stared dozens of steps ahead.

There……

Space seems to be being torn apart.

From a distance, the gray mist seemed to be stirred up into a whirlpool, with clearly visible cracks appearing inside.

Immediately afterwards, the cracks quickly spread in all directions, densely occupying a large area.

Gudong!

The man in black's throat surged and he swallowed a mouthful of saliva with difficulty.

In his glazed eyes, he saw a pair of heart-stopping cyan blades probing inward from the center of the growing vortex.

There are also two deep pools filled with cold light, appearing behind the pair of giant scythes.

"What the hell is this!?"

The man in black held his breath, his heart filled with surprise and confusion.

Those two giant scythes seemed to be a pair of terrifying claws.

And the deep pool behind the sickle...

It looks like a pair of eyes! ?

"It's such an oppressive feeling."

"What kind of monster is it?"

The man in black had a hoarse voice and muttered to himself.

Boom!

Another thunder suddenly exploded.

A majestic shock wave struck suddenly.

The gray fog swept across instantly, and the violent wind even blew away a layer of the ground.

Click!

The man in black suddenly stopped and wanted to turn around and leave, but he remained motionless under the gaze of those pool-like eyes.

The oppressive feeling caused by the close gaze of this terrifying demon almost drove him into despair, and he felt cold from head to toe.

All he could do was to protect his body from being broken by the sweeping gray mist and howling wind, and from being seriously injured that would be difficult to recover from.

Otherwise, there is simply no way to respond effectively.

What the hell is this?

The level of strength that he was so proud of could not even stand firm in the face of such terror.

boom!

The vortex is still expanding at a speed visible to the naked eye.

The man in black watched the monster gradually reveal itself, and the pressure he felt suddenly increased. He was almost in despair with nothing to do and nothing to think about.

Forced to look into those eyes that were like a deep pool, his gaze penetrated the surging gray mist entwined in the void, and a strange and inexplicable thought emerged in his mind without any warning.

For some reason, the man in black even thought he was crazy.

Unexpectedly, I saw uncontrollable despair and panic in the eyes of the monster that looked like a mantis.

He was even more frightened than he was when he was struggling to survive.

What surprised him even more was that the mantis demon seemed to be struggling violently.

It seemed that behind it, there was an even more terrifying monster that was preying on and killing it.

Tear it into pieces and swallow it in mouthfuls.

The man in black closed his eyes and opened them again, even biting his lower lip directly. He was finally sure that he was not dreaming and that everything that happened in front of him was not an illusion.

Therefore, it seems that this terrifying mantis-like demon is really just a prey being hunted and preyed upon by other, more terrifying monsters.

Suddenly, a low roar sounded.

It was full of violent and angry emotions.

It was like thunder rolling across the ground and exploding in the ears of the man in black.

"As promised, before you go to find the giant spirit, you will bring me here first, and I will help you realize the true meaning of Xuanwu."

"But you actually want to trick me and leave me alone in the dark void?"

"If I don't eat you, I'll be sorry for myself!"

"Hunyuan Wuji, Palm of the Great Sun, eat it after it's cooked!"

boom!

A blazing white light shone.

The entire vortex exploded at this moment.

It also allowed the man in black to finally see clearly the scene shrouded inside the vortex.

It was really a huge blue mantis.

It struggled desperately, trying to get rid of a cloud-patterned black scale body and the ferocious claws covered with sharp bone spurs, and enter this world to escape with its life.

boom!

The violent shock wave struck again.

The man in black was immediately blown away, rolling and landing on the ground ten feet away.

He spit out a mouthful of blood, not even daring to look back, and immediately started running wildly in the opposite direction.

Crunch!

Crunch!

The sound of biting and chewing came from far away.

There were also overlapping screams in the middle, as if many people were lamenting the loss of life at the same time.

The man in black's scalp was numb and his body was cold, and he couldn't help but speed up his escape again.

As for those subordinates, he no longer cares about them.

There was even some regret that the meat of a few people was too little, otherwise it would attract more attention to the black-scaled demon and allow him to escape further.

After a while, the man in black stopped without any warning.

He still maintained his running posture, but stayed there motionless, as if he had turned into a human sculpture.

"You, you are..."

The man in black opened his mouth and stared blankly at the young man who appeared in front of him like a ghost. His eyes fell on the corners of his lips where green blood was still dripping. He wanted to say something, but he couldn't even complete a sentence. Unable to put it into words.

I've been working overtime lately, and it's often late at night when I get home, and I feel extremely irritable.
