Hidden Corners

Just when the Faceless Sword Sect was counting its losses, it was located deep in the sea of ​​trees near Yuheng Sect.

Hazy figures gathered together silently.

The moonlight is deserted.

Three figures, standing or sitting, stood quietly in front of a tall, blurry and twisted figure.

"Why hasn't Chunyi come yet? He is never absent at times like this." Someone said in a low voice.

"He was responsible for supervising the battlefield, but then he went to track the direction of the Faceless Sword Sect White Deer. There couldn't be any problem. Someone must have delayed the trip."

Another woman replied.

"Speaking of White Deer, the people who followed him before didn't come back either." The last person said solemnly.

"Let's not talk about it for now. Huo Qingkong's strength is beyond our expectations. Even if we misjudged it a little bit, we didn't know that he has entered the Yinhuan world. However, several people here including me are Yinhuan, and no one can challenge three people alone. Eight seals and one nine seals, right?

What's more, there is a big formation to suppress Fu Yunzi, the same Yinhuan elder. With such strength, he can be killed. He is enough to threaten the organization's final plan. "

The man who spoke first said again.

"What Xia Yi said is good." The woman among the three nodded. "According to the hexagrams, Huo Qingkong is indeed developing towards the expected situation. We can barely suppress it now, but if we wait any longer, something will happen."

"Leader, please make a decision quickly." The third person cupped his fists and bowed towards the human figure that was constantly twisting and flickering.

"Please make a decision quickly!" The other two people also said firmly.

The moon shadow swayed in the woods. The figure was silent for a long time, looking up at the full moon.

"I'll wait if so."

Before he finished speaking, a black aura flew from a distance and fell into his hands.

The breath exploded in his palm, and a sound came out.

The figure's voice stopped abruptly

His body froze, and he stood there as if the pause button had been pressed.

"Haruichi died."

"!!?!?"

"!!What?"

"Impossible! Chunyi can be ranked among the elders of the four sects and can track down and solve some Qingying group disciples. How could something happen!?"

The three people were shocked.

"More than that." The leader waved his hand to disperse the black air, "The people who were tracking Bai Lu and others also mysteriously disappeared. Their life plates are still there, but there is no trace of them."

"According to the news from within the Faceless Sword Sect, Bai Lu and Huo Qingkong have returned to the Sword Sect safely, and there are no casualties among the Qingying Group disciples."

These words were so shocking that the three of them could not understand them, and they were speechless for a moment.

"Who is it!?" The leader slightly clenched his palms. "It should be an elder from the Faceless Sword Sect who took action."

Only elder-level masters can form a seal ring and overcome the qualitative change. The virtual light of the seal ring is generated, and the energy change produces a qualitative change, which instantly increases the practitioner's strength by a large margin.

Under the shining virtual light, the following forces are not allowed to approach.

"I'm going to check." The third of the three said in a low voice, "Among the six elders, there are only three people who can silently solve Chun Yi. Just check the specific whereabouts of the three of them one by one."

"Okay. Be careful." The leader nodded.

It was the winter of 913 in the sixth century of Panguang.

The four sects fell into war. The Qing Mu Sword Sect and the Yuheng Sect jointly issued a conquest order against the Faceless Sword Sect, ordering the Faceless Sword Sect to hand over Huo Qingkong in response to the Panguang Catastrophe prophecy. The Faceless Sword Faction refused.

The Time Sect adheres to neutrality and does not help each other.

The two sides lined up and faced off at Wulin Peak at the junction of the three borders, with each other winning or losing.

Huo Qingkong took action before the battle, and defeated the three elders of the alliance in a row. Later, he was secretly attacked and retreated by Yao Chengli, the deputy head of the Qing Mu Sword Sect.

For a time, the world was shocked.

Yijian Qingkong also officially left the category of genius and was listed as a famous master.

The situation reached a stalemate.

Three years later.

The place where the Faceless Swordsman sect is stationed.

"Another three years have passed." Li Chengyi sat in front of the window, holding a cup of hot tea in his hand, quietly looking at the scattered snowflakes in the sky.

There are many more people in the Sword Sect than before.

Because of the war, the headmaster ordered to increase the number of entry-level disciples, but the six elders, dozens of deacons, and these middle and high-level combat forces have now been reduced by less than half.

The two elders were injured and retreated. In the last decisive battle a year ago, if the senior brother had not turned the tide and fought again with Yao Chengli, the deputy leader of the Qingmu Sword Sect, and injured him, I am afraid the current situation would be even worse.

well.

From this position, Li Chengyi could see the situation above the entire Sword Sect.

At this moment, he saw streaks of green sword light flying back and forth above the Sword Sect.

Senior Brother Huo Qingkong is wrapped in green light, suspended high in the sky, and he and two elders of his sect are welcoming visitors.

He is from the Time Sect.

Huo Qingkong's temperament has changed a lot compared to three years ago.

The sword intent on his body became deeper and deeper, like a bottomless abyss, making it impossible to see the depth clearly.

I don’t know what level of cultivation it has reached.

From time to time, when passing by, I could sense circles of terrifying aura coming from the stone house where he practiced.

Now, he must have far transcended the levels of disciple and deacon, and reached the heights of the elder level.

"Why are you sitting here alone? Why don't you go and take a look? Don't you still have your good friends at the Suiyumen Gate?" Kui Ling sat down close to the back and said softly.

There was a hint of fatigue in his voice.

As a master among the elders, she naturally had to take action. Not long ago, when she was patrolling the border, she fought with an elder from the Yuheng Sect. After both sides were injured, she is now resting and recuperating.

"Isn't it true that the Shuiyue Sect has always been neutral? Why did you come to visit this time?" Li Chengyi asked.

In three years, with the invisible blessing of the Snow Lotus, his Faceless Sword Technique has reached the sixth level of perfection, and a new Yuan Seal has been condensed.

The Holy Spirit Skill also found a new Holy Infant and condensed the thirteenth Yuan Seal.

After crossing the five-seal threshold, the subsequent improvement was much easier than before, especially within the Sword Sect, under the premise that Kui Ling provided unlimited resources, it was easy to improve the strength.

But even so, Li Chengyi could still feel the slightest hint of danger when he met Huo Qingkong in the sect from time to time.

Obviously, he is improving, and the opponent is also improving rapidly.

In the Great Sword Sect, except for the two of them, the rest are improving, but three years is only enough for the four small swords to condense a Yuan Seal.

In the Panguang world, where practice often takes ten years or hundreds of years as a unit, this speed is actually the norm.

"The Sword Sect is biased towards us, and the sect owner is still my best friend. However, there was a turmoil in the sect before, which caused a lot of injuries and a great loss of vitality. It seems to be An Xiang's fault. That's why we haven't helped our sect. Now it's stable. After the situation broke out, it was natural to come and visit as soon as possible to communicate the follow-up," Kui Ling explained.

In just three years, she has witnessed the demise of many junior brothers and sisters, and now she no longer has the relaxed and leisurely mentality she once had.

"Speaking of which, Huo Qingkong's strength has become more and more unfathomable. Not long ago, the headmaster gave him the Primordial Sword that he had been caring for. That is the sword that represents the title of the next headmaster," Kui Ling sighed. road.

"Can't even my mother see through him?" Li Chengyi was slightly surprised.

After getting along with him for a long time, he naturally figured out Kui Ling's approximate strength.

Approximately above the seal ring, between fifteen and seventeen seals. Yuan Yin's cultivation level will be slower and more difficult to improve the further you go, so it is unlikely that there will be a sudden change in cultivation level in a short period of time.

On the contrary, it is abnormal for things to change drastically every year like Senior Brother.

Moreover, cultivation level only represents the height of the realm. In a real fight, it still depends on how the Yuan Yin is matched and how powerful the Tao-protecting skills are.

For example, the Faceless Sword Jue can increase the speed and lethality of all offensive parts of one's Yuan Seal to more than three times the normal state.

If an ordinary monk encounters him, even if he is in the same realm or even a higher realm, he will be instantly killed on the spot.

"I can't see clearly." Kui Ling shook his head, "His improvement is too fast. Even Yao Chengli's sneak attack only managed to repel him. Now he has become a suppressive master who threatens the Yuheng Sect. Except for the leader of the Yuheng Sect, the rest are probably not His rival."

She sighed.

"You also know that at that level, a simple difference of one or two levels in cultivation does not affect the final outcome. Therefore, the Yuheng Sect is also wary and does not dare to take action easily. After all, once injured at that level, recovery will be difficult. It also takes a long time to get up.”

Li Chengyi nodded.

In the past three years, he has not only stayed in the sect to practice, but has been looking for opportunities and variants of the snow lotus.

However, due to the war, the sword sect had stricter control over the disciples of the Qingying group, so he went out several times but failed to find enough variants, so he had no choice but to return.

Snowdrop's flower energy has only been absorbed into a small part, and it is still very early before it can evolve.

Only after one evolution is completed can he complete the last main flower of the Flower God.

When the Twelve Flower Godheads are gathered together, the many powers of the Flower Emperor will finally be unleashed one by one.

At the same time, the final armor, which is greatly improved by integrating the Flower Scale Clothes, will also appear.

By then his strength will definitely increase tremendously.

What Li Chengyi planned was to take advantage of the opportunity when his strength surged, and after the breakthrough, use Hua Yuzhu's reverse marks to see if there was a chance to leave Panguang.

But when he thought of the perverted King of Death Angels, he felt weak.

Over the past three years, he has been accumulating the flower language good luck +2 just to cope with the crisis at that time.

After chatting with Kui Ling for a while, Li Chengyi saw the people from the Time Gate landing from the window, and then got up and went out.

He also planned to go around. The Gate of Time was the starting point where he found the Snow Lotus.

So if you take the opportunity to contact them, you might be able to get some variations of snowdrops.

After leaving the attic and saying hello to Senior Sister Yun Chen who was playing with the python, Li Chengyi walked straight towards the Sihai Pavilion where guests were entertained.

All the disciples he met along the way saluted him and said hello.

As the leader of the Four Little Swordsmen and the most powerful Bai Lu, his current status in the sword sect is somewhat similar to that of Huo Qingkong back then.

Huo Qingkong has now risen to the same level as the elders, and he, Li Chengyi, has taken over Huo Qingkong's position in a sense.

The two of them walked in tandem, as if they had completed some kind of alternation.

When they found the Sihai Pavilion, they happened to be Bai He and Zhaoyuan who accompanied the people from the Sewijie Gate.

The two of them today are much more mature than they were three years ago.

Bai He is still the same, talkative and curious about everything, but his temperament is much more stable.

Zhaoyuan has changed greatly. The little girl who didn't like anyone at that time and only admired her senior brother, now has beautiful eyes, fair skin and long legs. Her facial features are as if they were carefully carved without a single flaw. The little blue sword pattern between her eyebrows looks even more noble. climb.

Some people within the Sword Sect already hailed her as the most beautiful woman in the Sword Sect.

In just three years, she has vaguely shown her amazing beauty potential in the future, which Li Chengyi did not expect.

The two of them were accompanying several visitors from the Sewijing Gate. They were all young people chatting together to introduce the features of the area.

Seeing Li Chengyi approaching, Bai He and Zhaoyuan bowed slightly to him at the same time.

"Senior Brother Bailu."

"I'm just passing by to see my friends from the Time Gate. Speaking of which, several of my servants of the Holy Infant were also obtained from the Time Gate." Li Chengyi said with a smile.

Today, he is no longer the young man he once was. With a height of over 1.7 meters and a temperament, he has completely acquired the image and appearance of an adult.

The antlers on his forehead have also grown a lot longer, and their color is still the same as that of white jade, but there is a hint of sharpness.
