Chapter 1020: The terrifying ninth elder
In the easternmost area of the catacombs in South Capital.
The world was as quiet as ever.
A tributary of the forbidden Sea.
The first time he crossed the forbidden Sea, Fang ping had been scared witless. Now, he was extremely calm. He was floating at a low alt.i.tude above the forbidden Sea. He did not even look down. Instead, he was staring at the boundary region opposite him.
Mount Luofu!
He had never been to Mount Luofu.
However, there wasn"t much of a difference in the layout of the regions, they were all split into inner and outer regions.
The outer area was usually where the subsidiary disciples lived or where demons were raised.
The inner regions was where their Foundation lay.
Mount Luofu was one of the ten grotto-heavens, and its sect master was also an Emperor-level expert.
This time, three venerable sovereigns from the precinct had attacked, causing the humans to be unable to retreat in time and many peak cultivators to be killed or injured.
Now that venerable Emperor Luofu wasn"t here, how many experts were left in the sect?
Fang Ping"s gaze flickered.
He had already prepared how to enter Mount Luofu.
He had killed many people from Mount Luofu in the Royal battlefield.
The leader of Luofu mountain had a storage ring with him. Fang ping found it, and the token of Luofu mountain was in the ring.
According to past situations, a top level nine expert"s token would be able to open the regional wall.
"The key is the size of the movement!"
The opening of a boundary would cause a huge commotion.
Fang ping was worried that someone would notice. If a dead person suddenly opened the door, he would be exposed.
"Find a remote place and sneak in. It might work."
In fact, it was best to wait here. When the person came out, he would catch a person to interrogate and then kill the imposter. This was the most suitable.
However, Fang ping did not have the time!
He didn"t know how long it would take for someone from Mount Luofu to come out.
Now that the three major realms had sealed off their mountains, no one could enter or leave. Who knew when they would meet someone?
"Were they the ones who caught Yun Xi? Or ... Should I kill him?"
Fang Ping"s gaze was cold and sharp. He furrowed his brows and quickly suppressed these thoughts.
If it was Luofu mountain, what was their purpose?
Was he threatening him?
However, Mount Luofu had not revealed anything to the outside world.
Fang ping had a feeling that Chen Yunxi"s disappearance this time might not have been because someone had captured her to threaten him. Capturing people to threaten powerhouses was something very few people would do, and it was not very meaningful.
The reason why experts were experts was because they were decisive.
When they fought, they would never surrender just because their family and friends were threatened!
All powerhouses knew one thing: strength was the foundation. Only a fool would do such a brainless thing. In the end, your family and friends would die with you.
If it was really Luofu mountain or someone from another force who had captured Chen Yunxi, Fang ping felt that the possibility of them threatening him or Chen yaoting was not high.
"Then why?"
Many thoughts flashed through Fang Ping"s mind, and he could roughly guess what was going on.
Perhaps ... He was trying to force her to reveal her secret!
He, Fang ping, was really too monstrous.
He was so monstrous that even he was afraid of himself.
In less than three years, an ordinary person had reached the peak.
Perhaps these people would think that Chen Yunxi knew something.
Chen Yunxi was Fang Ping"s office Director in the martial arts Society, and she was also Fang Ping"s office Director in the sky Department. The outside world had been spreading rumors about Fang ping and Chen Yunxi for a long time. Fang ping did not have many close people. People like old w.a.n.g were very strong, and it was difficult to capture them.
However, Chen Yunxi ... A rank-7 ... Was nothing.
Fang Yuan"s family members were even weaker, but it was almost impossible to encounter the Fang family in the catacombs.
"You want to force Yunxi to know my secret?"
Fang ping frowned.
Chen Yunxi actually knew some things. Even if Fang ping did not say anything, she could guess a lot.
However, it did not matter much. At this moment, it would not matter even if some of Fang Ping"s secrets were known to others.
The key was ... If Chen Yunxi did not say anything, he was afraid that there would be a lot of trouble.
If these people really captured her and interrogated her for information, they wouldn"t treat her with good food and drink.
"I don"t care, let"s get in first!"
Fang ping surveyed his surroundings. The boundary was very long. He had to find a more remote place to enter first.
In a more remote area ... Perhaps it would be better to enter through the sea!
"There is usually an energy pool in the boundary region that is directly connected to the forbidden Sea. The boundary wall there is weaker, and demons often appear in the vicinity. Even a little movement may not attract attention."
As Fang ping thought about this, he dove into the sea in an instant.
In the sea, Fang ping took a look and quickly discovered a few demons.
There were always demons loitering around the boundary.
However, there weren"t as many of them as there were in other places. It was possible that some of the demons had left due to the recent chaos in the forbidden Sea.
Fang ping did not hold back either. His mentality burst out, intimidating a few monsters. He slashed out with the G.o.d-slaying saber, killing a few rank-9 monsters in the blink of an eye.
After putting away the corpse, Fang ping did not look back and quickly swam down the boundary.
He had already sensed that the energy in front of him seemed to be much denser. That might be the outlet.
……
Mount Luofu.
It was like a Fairyland.
The heavenly Palace floated in the air, its scale incomparably large.
It was not lifeless. At this moment, there were many people in the immortal Palace on Mount Luofu.
There were women dressed as Palace maids walking around from time to time.
There were Warriors in armor patrolling the heavenly Palace in teams.
In the heavenly Palace, the roars of demonic beasts, the laughter of young men and women, and the faint sound of heavenly music could be heard ...
This was Mount Luofu!
It wasn"t as desolate as Kuocang mountain, where only one person and one cat were sleeping.
Mount Luofu had not been as prosperous as it was now. But before the venerable sovereign came out of the mountain, he had awakened all the disciples who had been sleeping.
Among the ten heavenly pa.s.sages, Mount Luofu had suffered a great loss in the past. However, there were also many survivors, which was much better than the other heavenly pa.s.sages.
Not only Mount Luofu, but also Mount w.a.n.gwu and Weiyu did not suffer as great a loss as expected.
At this moment.
Mount Luofu, in the central area of the heavenly Palace, in a magnificent and huge Palace.
The rank-9 monster plant trunk was the main material, the metal that was comparable to a rank-7 or rank-8 divine weapon was the wall, and the huge energy stone that was full of energy was the floor tiles. This huge Palace was built.
In front of the palace door, three large, majestic words hung. Fang ping might not recognize them even if he saw them.
Cyan Emperor Palace.
The sovereign of Mount Luofu was also known as the green spirit sovereign, and the Green Emperor Palace was his palace.
At this moment, someone"s voice came from the huge Hall.
The huge throne in the middle of the hall was empty. There was a huge gem embedded on the throne. Even though there was no one, the throne still emitted a faint pressure that made people not dare to look at it directly.
Fang ping had once seen such a throne in Xuande Grotto-heaven.
Back then, he had guessed that it might be the demon nucleus of an absolute nightmare realm demon.
And the truth was indeed so.
This was also a kind of proof of battle achievements. The owner of the throne had once killed a peak demon and even left behind the demon nucleus of the other party. This was something that only an Emperor-level could do.
At this moment, the huge throne was empty.
Below, there were six huge chairs on the left and right.
12 Thrones!
This was the treatment only a Paragon could receive!
Only those at the absolute peak could have a seat in the Green Emperor Palace. This was proof of one"s ident.i.ty and status, as well as proof of one"s strength.
For other martial artists, no matter how high their status was or how strong their background was, if they were not at the peak, they would still have to stand and speak in the Green Emperor Palace.
The main hall was not a flat stretch of land, but had a staircase-like structure.
The throne of the venerable sovereigns was high up, and the throne at the peak was slightly lower. Below it, the nine steps were opened again, and this was where the others stood.
There were many people in the hall.
There were also people on the 12 Thrones.
On the third seat on the left sat a young man. He was dressed in a brocade robe and his long hair fell over his shoulders. At this moment, he was gently rubbing his temples as if he was troubled by something.
A few female martial artists dressed as Palace maids carefully placed food on the table in front of the throne and poured wine into the wine cups.
"Senior immortal, it"s time to eat ..."
An extremely beautiful woman carefully reminded him and said with concern,""Immortal, don"t hurt yourself. I"ve just picked some fresh Immortal Fruits from the myriad fruit orchard. Please try them ..."
The young man raised his head and casually took a sip of the wine. He frowned slightly, as if he was not satisfied.
Soon, under the woman"s nervous gaze, he put down the wine gla.s.s heavily. The sound of the wine gla.s.s knocking on the table also made the murmurs below quiet down.
The young man"s face was cold as he said indifferently,"noisy!" You only know how to make noise! He didn"t even know that a great disaster was coming! If this continues, how can Mount Luofu still prosper?"
Below, a middle-aged man in long robes with a long sword at his waist bowed slightly and said,""Ninth elder, the sect"s only enemy is the mortal realm! "Fang ping from the human world calls himself the human King and is extremely overbearing. Previously, the sect master had made a move in the Graveyard of the G.o.ds, which must have caused Fang Ping"s dissatisfaction ..."
"Nonsense!"
"I don"t want to hear this nonsense!" The young man rebuked. This Lord has summoned you here to ask if you would like to cooperate with the divine religion!"
The young man"s head hurt a little. He said coldly,"the divine sect wants us to be p.a.w.ns. They want us to be bait to lure and kill Fang ping! It"s nice to say that there"s no danger, but how can I not know that the divine sect is planning to kill two birds with one stone!
"If we really lure Fang ping out, the divine sect might just stand by and watch us kill each other. It"s really hateful!"
He then frowned."But Fang ping has become stronger so quickly. Mount Luofu is right here. There"s no secret of the grandmasters! "As expected, Luofu mountain, Huo Tongshan, and the others are the first forces that Fang ping has to deal with, other than the four Royal Courts!"
He also had a sense of danger.
Everyone knew that humans would seek revenge for the smallest grievance.
The people of the heavens beyond heaven could just close the heavens beyond heaven and hide it in the void. You might not be able to find it.
However, the realmverse was right here, and it couldn"t run away.
If it were not for the catacombs "restraint, the three major realms might have already started fighting with the human realm.
The young man had not been too concerned before, but now that Fang ping had killed perfected Lord dizhou, he was a little worried.
Perfected Lord dizhou, stage five true G.o.d!
As for him, his strength was on par with perfected Lord dizhou.
As the young man spoke, he mumbled again,"Fang ping ... Monster!" He"s even more monstrous than a martial King! In just three years, he went from a mortal to a true G.o.d. This man"s demonic nature was unheard of! Even if he"s the reincarnation of the extreme heavenly Emperor, he"s still getting stronger too quickly!"
Since he was reincarnated, even if he was recovering his strength, to become a Paragon in three years, this speed was already terrifyingly fast.
Furthermore, if he was really the reincarnation of the extreme heavenly Emperor, he had to think of a way.
Otherwise, Fang ping, who was getting stronger and stronger, would become a big problem sooner or later!
"Elder, cooperating with the demonic sect is no different from asking a Tiger for its skin!" Someone said. However, if Fang ping really wanted to be killed, it would be better to negotiate with the divine sect. Mount Luofu would open the pa.s.sage and allow them to enter the human world. There were many powerhouses in the divine sect ... There was a high chance of ambus.h.i.+ng and killing Fang ping in the human world!
When they enter the human world and seal the pa.s.sage, they can only enter and leave from the outer area. If the nether King is still here, he will definitely intercept the murderer, and perhaps both the divine sect and the human world will suffer. "
"It"s easy to say, how could the spirit religion agree! If I really wanted to, I would have attacked when di Zhou died!"
"We want to see both of them suffer, and they want to see both of us and the human world suffer!" The young man sneered. Now that the nether King is hidden in the dark, it"s an important point that everyone is afraid of ..."
The young man shook his head slightly and quickly said,""The human world is clearly the enemy of all parties, but now, they can"t come to an agreement and want to reap the benefits without doing anything. "If this continues, Fang ping will grow up sooner or later."
Understanding it was one thing, but doing it was difficult.
It had to be said that the fate King was quite capable.
Everyone was afraid of death. No one wanted to die. No one wanted to become a sacrifice. Under such circ.u.mstances, the fate King was able to call on the catacombs powerhouses to attack the human world together and kill the martial King, a threat. This was actually a great ability.
Unfortunately, the life King was dead!
It was also because of the death of the fate King that few people dared to stand out.
The killer king was a huge shock.
The more the young man thought about it, the more irritated he became. He waved his hand and said,""All of you may withdraw! Don"t leave the sect for the time being. Once dizhou died, Fang ping would definitely guess that either the sect or the heavens beyond heaven allowed dizhou to enter! Previously, there were people in the mortal realm who were patrolling the void, most likely to find the door.
This was the doing of Xuling Grotto-heaven. If necessary ... Perhaps he could spread the news and let Fang ping and Xuling Grotto-heaven fight.
The moment we fight, it might be our chance!"
Right now, everyone was lacking someone to stand out.
Over at the Xuling heavenly abode, if they were to take the lead, perhaps the others would hear the news and attack together.
"Yes!"
"Yes!" Everyone responded. They might not dare to go out now.
It"s very chaotic outside now, and he might be killed.
The crowd quickly left, and the palace maids also left under the young man"s impatient gaze.
After they had left, the young man muttered,""Fang ping ... Fang ping!"
He had partic.i.p.ated in the battle at the king Battle Ground.
That was why he had seen Fang Ping"s freakishness and how terrifying Fang ping was.
When the late-stage venerable sovereigns left, he was a step slower and didn"t chase after them. Emperor Qing Jing sent him a message to return to the sect, so he returned to Mount Luofu.
Compared to the rumors, he had really seen Fang Ping"s ruthlessness.
In his opinion, the most ruthless one was none other than the time when Fang ping had just left the Royal battlefield!
The second King"s Men were chasing him, and even though he knew he was no match for them, he still turned around and killed a Paragon right under the eyes of the second king.
Such a person was too terrifying!
"If Fang ping doesn"t die, the Three Realms will be in chaos sooner or later! However, how did he reach this level in just three years?"
The young man frowned and quickly got up to walk back to his palace.
This wasn"t his territory. This was the sect master"s main hall.
His Elder Hall was still nearby.
……
He returned to his Elder Hall.
The young man ignored the greetings of the people in the palace and walked into the depths of the palace. There was a small courtyard in the deepest part of the palace.
Outside the courtyard, two rank-9 powerhouses were standing.
"Elder!" They all bowed when they saw the young man.
"Did he say it?"
"I haven "t!"
The young man frowned as he looked at the woman sitting cross-legged in the courtyard. Even though he had come, the woman had closed her eyes and ignored him.
"Tell me, and I"ll let you go!"
The young man said calmly,"you"ve been serving Fang ping for some time. You wouldn"t be ignorant!" "Fang ping must have a secret. If you tell me, I can also save you from the pain."
In the courtyard, Chen Yunxi opened her eyes. Her eyes were filled with exhaustion, but her tone was unusually calm."I said I don"t know. I don"t have any intimate relations.h.i.+p with Fang ping. He has many cla.s.smates. Would he tell everyone his secret? Are you an idiot?"
The young man snorted coldly!
A flame-like energy rose from his hand. It did not float toward Chen Yunxi but landed on the ground of the small courtyard.
In the small courtyard, a crystal-like barrier rose from all directions.
In the next moment, raging energy flames rose in the small courtyard.
Chen Yunxi was sweating profusely. Her body trembled and her mentality was overflowing. A large amount of qi and blood on the surface of her body evaporated.
"Don"t say that you don"t know!"The young man said coldly. "I"ve investigated you. I"m very clear about your relations.h.i.+p with Fang ping! You"ve tasted the spiritual fire!
I burned your qi and blood and your spiritual sense. I burned an enemy at stage eight origin realm for three days. Can you guess what his only wish was?"
Chen Yunxi ignored him.
"Let this Lord send him to heaven! He died without dignity and value, like a dog. He knelt and begged me to kill him!"
"I ... I really don"t know!"
Chen Yunxi"s entire body trembled. The sound of her teeth chattering could be heard. She said in a trembling voice,"Him and I ... It"s just my own wishful thinking! Humans ... There were too many people who liked him ... He was so dazzling ... No one would dislike him ...
No matter how many times you ask me ... It won"t help!"
"Then tell me, how did you quickly reach rank-7?"
The young man said coldly,"I"m not curious before I reach rank-6!" What I"m curious about is, how did he help you seal your Sanjiao gate? Did he have any treasures that he valued? How could he change his aura? Why was he able to conceal his aura and not be detected by others?
What was so different about him?
I don"t believe that he, who has advanced to the peak in three years, is completely normal!
"If you say there isn "t, then you"re definitely lying to me. Not only will you die ... But also that ninth-grade trash who recently entered this place!
That"s your grandfather, isn"t he?
This Lord has already found his whereabouts. Once this Lord catches him, I"ll burn his spiritual sense and let you see how he dies in pain. I think you"ll be looking forward to it!"
"It"s ... It"s no use!"
"I really don"t know ..." Chen Yunxi laughed with difficulty,"even if you killed my grandfather ... Would you believe me if I made up some lies?"
"Tell me, maybe ... I"ll believe you!"
Whether the young man"s indifference was real or fake, one could more or less tell.
He was really too curious!
Fang ping ... How did he become stronger?
If she could find out the secret behind his strength, perhaps she could also go one step further and become a venerable sovereign, a Saint, or even a Heavenly King!
There were many people in the Three Realms who were curious about Fang ping.
He had been wary of martial Kings in the past, but now ... Fang ping was also extremely strong.
From the young man"s point of view, the chances of Fang ping telling his parents and family were low. His parents were only low-ranked martial artists, and his sister was not considered strong.
To be honest, the probability of a young man like Fang ping telling his woman was actually higher!
Chen Yunxi endured the pain and laughed."You really want to hear it? Then let me tell you, the reason why he"s so strong ... Is actually the work of a martial King. Would you believe me?"
The young man frowned.
"He ... He"s actually just the martial King"s ... Chess piece! He ... He was just a p.a.w.n to attract your attention! The king warrior ... Was the reincarnation of the Emperor of heaven reverse! He"s ... Just an ordinary martial artist ... The martial King needs him to divert everyone"s attention ... So ... I"ve been secretly helping him to improve his strength ..."
Chen Yunxi panted and said,"this is the truth!" "Fang ping knows that too, but he needs to become stronger, so ... He can only show that he"s very strong, very strong ... I"ve told him everything I know ..."
"Are you toying with this Lord?"
The young man snorted coldly. A ball of energy flame appeared in his hand again, and he fused it with the ground.
In the courtyard, the raging flames were getting more and more intense.
The sound of his body cracking could be heard as a large amount of his vitality and mentality was burned and evaporated.
When the young man saw that Chen Yunxi did not make a sound, as if she was dead, he snorted coldly and waved his hand to release a wave of energy. The courtyard door was closed.
At that moment, one of the two rank-9s by the door said in a low voice,""Elder, the martial artists in the human world today are all people who can endure. Besides, this woman might not really know anything. If the news were to leak and Fang ping finds out ... Why don"t we kill this woman and frame the divine sect or other sects?"
"Of course I know that she might not know anything."
The young man said indifferently,"continue asking, just some unimportant questions!" "She"s still young. She thought that I only wanted to force Fang ping to reveal his secret. Little did she know ... That I had my own plans! "Ask her everything about her, how she gets along with Fang ping, who her friends are in the human world ..."
"Elder!"
One of them seemed to have realized something. He was shocked and said in a low voice,""Elder, isn"t this too risky?"
"It"s fine!"
"There are benefits to taking risks, but ... Do you know what I want to do?" the young man said indifferently.
The rank-9 martial artist who was asked lowered his head and said,"This subordinate has seen a secret method in the hidden art Pavilion ..."
"You"re quite lucky. "
"I"ve stopped spreading this cultivation technique after I took it away,"the young man said with a faint smile. It seems that you must have seen it when you went in back then. There aren"t many people who know about it now ..."
As he spoke, the young man reached out his hand and patted his shoulder. He smiled and said,""Ask seriously. The more you know, the better! If I succeed, you will all benefit! Now that the sect master isn"t here, the sect needs a few new elders. The two of you are from my direct line of descent, and I"ve become the sect master ... Elder ... Who do you think will be the new elders?"
The two of them were extremely excited as they hurriedly responded.
The young man said no more and turned to leave.
The moment he turned his head, his eyes were cold.
The more you know, the faster you die. Don"t you understand that trouble comes from the mouth?
When things were done, these two people ... Should also disappear!
As soon as he left, the two people in front of the door waited for a while. The other person said in a low voice,""Do you know what the elder wants to do?"
"I"ve guessed a little," The person from before looked at the small courtyard and transmitted a message,""This courtyard isn"t purely for the sake of torturing people! Did you see that? The woman"s Qi, blood, and spiritual sense were constantly being burned and stripped from her body. These Qi, blood, and spiritual sense were not burned, but were preserved by the array in the courtyard.
This kind of burnt Qi, blood, and spiritual sense ... If you use the elder"s cultivation method, you can attach it to the elder"s spiritual sense and Qi, blood, and Qi. "
As soon as he said this, another person seemed to understand and said in shock,""Elder wants to ... Impersonate this woman? Enter the human realm!"
"That"s not all. Perhaps he"s even trying to get close to Fang ping! It was said that this woman was Fang Ping"s lover. When the time came, she would know Fang Ping"s Secret, and killing Fang ping would be a piece of cake! However, it"s too risky. Elder, you"re really bold ..."
This person sighed. The ninth elder was really bold. This was very dangerous.
Once he sensed that something was wrong, it would not be difficult for Fang ping to kill the ninth elder if he joined forces with the nether King.
However, if he really succeeded, that would be amazing!
Chen Yunxi"s strength was not considered powerful, so she would not attract too much attention.
However, his status was not ordinary. The ninth elder could even take the opportunity to jump out of this situation and impersonate Chen Yunxi to hide in the human world. Perhaps, when the martial King and the others returned, he could even enter their core group.
Her grandfather was an expert of the mortal realm, and it was said that his status was not low.
Her lover was Fang ping. If he was stronger, like a rank-9 ... Or even broke through to the apex, he would definitely become a core figure in the human world.
If ninth elder impersonated her, and Fang ping died, he could even use her ident.i.ty to pretend to be the emperor"s widow!
It was fine if the widow of the human King was not strong, but if she was strong enough, it would be extremely normal for her to rule the world at this time!
When the martial King returns, he might even trust me ...
The more he thought about it, the more he felt that the ninth elder"s decision to capture Chen Yunxi was a good move.
In the past, the ninth elder had not been considered a Supreme expert in the Three Realms, so he might not have had the opportunity to do anything. But now ... The opportunity was very great!
While he was thinking about this, his companion beside him was a little worried.
This was Top Secret!
The elder wanted to impersonate Chen Yunxi. Once his ident.i.ty was revealed, he would be in grave danger. Now that the two of them knew about it, the elder would not ... Kill them to keep their mouths shut, would he?
Although he was worried, in Mount Luofu, the sect master had left, and the other elders had either died or left. The ninth elder was the G.o.d.
If he didn"t listen now, he would only die faster.
"I hope the elder won"t do anything. We"re his direct disciples ... The elder also needs manpower ..."
This person consoled himself for a while, and very quickly thought of the rank-9 who had been loitering outside the sect recently.
The elder ... Perhaps it wasn"t that he couldn"t find the other party!
Instead, he did not kill or capture him on purpose. The elder was probably prepared. When Chen Yunxi fainted or was injured, she would be found by Chen yaoting by chance and brought back to the human world ...
The more he thought about it, the more he felt that the ninth elder was scheming. Perhaps the ninth elder had lured Chen yaoting here himself!
By then, Chen Yunxi and Chen yaoting would be fine and return safely. Even if Fang ping knew it was related to Mount Luofu, he might not take action.
Even if he did, the ninth elder had already entered the human world and might not care about the life and death of Luofu mountain.
With this thought in mind, this person felt that the future would be a bit rough.
"No wonder the elder has been asking us to gather some unimportant information ..."
This person turned around and glanced at the courtyard. The woman in the courtyard probably didn"t expect the elders Guild to have such an idea.
As for the gender of the elder ... At the absolute beginning stage, the Golden body could transform into a myriad of forms. It was actually not too difficult to transform into a man or a woman.
It was not unacceptable to turn into a woman for the sake of his big plan.
……
At this moment, Fang ping, who had just sneaked into Mount Luofu, had never thought of this.
If he knew ... He would probably grind this ninth elder"s bones to dust!
