Kyushu Daoist Master

Tianluo Sect, that is one of the four academies and five sects, one of the nine state-guarding forces, extremely powerful, and has no rivals in the entire Yangzhou. Although the Zhejiang Ming Chamber of Commerce seems to be quite powerful, in fact, there is still a big gap compared to the Tianluo Sect.

As usual, if the Tianluo Sect encounters a strange phenomenon, it will send disciples to investigate it no matter what, and will never leave it alone.

If the fragments of inheritance appear behind this strange phenomenon, then the significance must be extremely significant, and it is not impossible to even alarm the court. After all, it involves meteorites from outer space, which is the source of the martial arts of the human race in Jiuzhou.

But even if it is not a fragment of inheritance, but a crystal of a strange beast, the significance is also not small. The most powerful bloodline among the monsters is also a precious treasure for the human race. If it can be studied thoroughly, it is of great significance to a sect.

But now the Tianluo Sect encountered this strange phenomenon, but there was no movement, which made Yang Ze puzzled, and he couldn't help but start to doubt whether there was something wrong with this strange phenomenon.

"I want to ask you, after this strange phenomenon, have the forces in Yangzhou, except for the Tianluo Sect, sent out people to investigate?"

"Except for the Tianluo Sect, forces such as the Governor's Mansion, the Zhejiang Chamber of Commerce, and the Aoyue Palace have all sent people, and the local palaces and the overlord-level forces of each prefecture have also sent out a lot." Zhong Rufeng continued to report.

"Report to the elder, I have something else to report." Zhong Rufeng had not spoken before, but he spoke again at this time.

"Just say it directly, no need to ask me."

"In fact, we have been closely observing the Tianluo Sect. Since the battle outside our martial arts academy, the entire Tianluo Sect has been much more low-key. Except for some particularly important things, the Tianluo Sect's presence in Yangzhou has disappeared a lot."

A strange light flashed in Yang Ze's eyes. The key point turned out to be here. The news reported by Zhong Rufeng made him probably figure out what the reason was.

The battle outside Piaomiao Martial Academy was when Ji Shitian went to Linyang Prefecture to catch him. In that battle, the nine top masters from the four academies and five sects joined forces to fight Ji Shitian.

Although Ji Shitian was defeated in the end, it should have allowed the other extremely Zhenzhou ancestors to see Ji Shitian's powerful strength and Zhuge Changyun's strength that surpassed them.

In this situation, Tianluo Sect will inevitably notice the changes in the outside world, and will feel the insufficiency of its own strength. The current low-key behavior is just for a more stable development.

After all, the means that Tianluo Sect has deployed in Yangzhou in the past are very cruel. Even if Tianluo Sect has appeared less frequently during this period, the middle and lower-level martial arts sects will never dare to have some ideas that they should not have.

Retracting most of the manpower and practicing hard can just improve the strength of Tianluo Sect as much as possible in the last few years.

Of course, Tianluo Sect is not like Piaomiao Martial Academy. It is just a low profile, which will not have much impact.

Thinking of this, Yang Ze had to believe that the person in charge of Tianluo Sect was quite capable. It was not easy to resist so many temptations from the outside world and choose to develop the sect in a stable manner.

However, it was also possible that even Piaomiao Martial Arts Academy had received the news of the appearance of this strange phenomenon, and other Zhenzhou forces should have also received the news. At that time, it was very likely that even the court would have strong people coming and getting involved in this storm. There was a great possibility that nothing would be gained, and in the end, a lot would be lost.

"Since Tianluo Sect chose not to intervene this time, I have one less enemy, but now I still need to go to Jiuchang Mansion to see what is behind the strange phenomenon." Yang Ze muttered to himself, and his eyes were on Zhong Rufeng on the side.

Zhong Rufeng received Yang Ze's order and handed a map of Yangzhou to Yang Ze, and also gave Yang Ze a list, which recorded several relatively respectable forces in Yangzhou.

After putting these things away, Yang Ze also learned from Zhong Rufeng that he was now ranked 28th on the Jiuzhou Qihai Ranking.

The improvement in ranking was still within Yang Ze's expectations. After all, there was such a big commotion in Xuzhou Beifeng Mansion. It would be strange if the court did not receive any news.

However, Yang Ze did not expect that his ranking would rise so much. This was beyond his expectations, and Zhong Rufeng also told him that his actual ranking would be even higher.

The reason why he is now ranked 28th is that Yang Ze has no direct victory record and no record of fighting with enough warriors of the same level. If there were, with the combat power he showed, it would be possible to enter the top 20.

In this regard, Yang Ze did not care too much. The ranking is at best just a superficial combat power, and it cannot prove everything. As long as there is real combat power, all this is not a problem.

However, he entered the top 30 on the Jiuzhou Qihai list, which proved that although he was still a fifth-grade warrior at the moment, in some sense, he was not worse than some early sixth-grade warriors. He would be more intimidating when walking in Jiuzhou.

Without dwelling on these things for too long, Yang Ze left Dingning City directly. The distance between Dening Prefecture and Jiuchang Prefecture was not short. If he didn't hurry over, he would waste a lot of time.

Riding a brand new fast horse, Yang Ze rushed to the official road in the southwest direction at the fastest speed. The journey was long, and flying alone would consume a lot of energy. In order to save as much energy as possible, Yang Ze could only use this method.

On the way, Yang Ze also had some feelings in his heart. It was a pity that this world did not have the kind of formation that could teleport people over long distances as he imagined, otherwise, a lot of trouble could be saved.

The land of Jiuzhou was still too big. Flying alone would not be enough for a fifth-grade warrior.

…

Six days later, at the foot of Xuanjue Mountain.

Yang Ze looked at the steep mountain with a calm look. Behind him was an extremely weak fast horse.

After throwing some food to the fast horse, Yang Ze took a step forward and went directly into the thick fog outside Xuanjue Mountain.

That's right. When Yang Ze arrived at Xuanjue Mountain, there was already a thick fog on the mountain. The fog looked very strange. With the naked eye alone, it was impossible to see clearly what was in the fog.

You know, he is now a warrior in the fifth-grade Great Perfection Realm, only one step away from the Palace of Gods, and his eyesight has already reached an extremely amazing level.

The thick fog that he couldn't see through with his eyesight must have some weirdness hidden in it.

However, he has already arrived here. Even if there is something weird hidden on this mountain, he will never retreat easily. He still has some life-saving things on him. He is very sure whether he can safely exit Xuanjue Mountain.

Walking on the mountain road, Yang Ze looked at the thick fog beside him and frowned tightly.

He also tried to release his spiritual consciousness to sense the surroundings, but found that even his spiritual consciousness was suppressed. The thick fog even restrained his perception ability. The spiritual consciousness that could have been released to a radius of 800 feet has now been suppressed to only cover a radius of 80 feet.

"I've never heard of this kind of thick fog before. What kind of thing is hidden in Xuanjue Mountain that can release this strange thick fog?"

Looking around vigilantly, Yang Ze didn't dare to be careless at all. In his opinion, the existence that can release such thick fog must not be a guy to be messed with, so he must be careful.

He walked step by step towards the upper direction. He didn't use any Qinggong body skills, and he was completely relying on his own strength to move forward.

Fortunately, his strength was very good, even if he walked forward like this, his speed was not too slow.

The reason why he didn't use Qinggong body skills was because the terrain of Xuanjue Mountain was very steep, and with the thick fog blocking it, it would be bad if he blindly used Qinggong body skills.

An hour later, Yang Ze heard a fierce sound of water. This was the only different sound he heard during his long walk.

This Xuanjue Mountain was really too quiet, so quiet that it was a little strange. There was not even the sound of birds and animals. Now hearing the sound of flowing water made him excited.

He immediately walked towards the source of the sound of water. After only a few steps, Yang Ze heard some sounds of fighting mixed in with the sound of water.

His eyes changed, and Yang Ze's cultivation had begun to work, and he might take action at any time.

The thick fog made his hearing decline a lot, and he had to get closer to hear the sound of fighting, which was impossible outside.

Since there was the sound of fighting, it proved that someone had arrived here before him. No matter who came, as long as they were not from Piaomiao Martial Academy, they were Yang Ze's enemies, so he could not afford to be careless.

As he kept approaching the source of the fighting sound, Yang Ze also released his spiritual consciousness. In this thick fog, his spiritual consciousness was much larger than what his eyes could see.

But not long after, his spiritual consciousness suddenly touched something cold, and it was stagnant for a moment.

At this gap, Yang Ze's face changed drastically, and he secretly said in his heart that it was not good.

He wanted to retract his spiritual awareness immediately, but he heard several sounds of breaking wind, and then saw three blue spots of light, which became clearer and clearer, and were coming towards him at a very fast speed.
