When it comes to Xuanwu, we have to trace it back to ancient times.

In that era, there was no distinction between the hairy, scaly, horned, and feathered races. Many demons gathered together not because of blood ties, but for the sake of better survival.

Among them, the Jiaolong is good at attacking, while the Black Tortoise is good at defending, so the two tribes became close to each other and even lived together, forming the same tribe, named "Xuanwu".

As for when Xuanwu disintegrated, that is another story.

"Xuanwu Temple?" Among the Shushan elders, there were several who were familiar with the history of the demon race, and they could not help but be surprised.

"What is the story behind this Xuanwu Temple?" Su Jian asked immediately.

"The Black Tortoise was one of the four most powerful tribes of the demon race in the past." An elder from Mount Shu replied, "Although they are one tribe, they are actually two tribes, the Flood Dragon and the Black Tortoise."

"Later, the demon tribe was defeated and retreated to the Eastern Realm. Some of the demon tribe still stayed in the remote corners of Shenzhou and multiplied. I think this Xuanwu Temple should have been built by the remaining Xuanwu tribe."

No, Ling Yunpo frowned and thought to himself.

The relief carvings on the outer wall of the temple show completely wrong patterns on the back of the black tortoise, the body of the dragon is not that long, and its horns are those of a unicorn... The builders of this temple had never seen the Xuanwu clan and only carved according to some vague guesses.

Perhaps this Yunmengze Kingdom was indeed originally built by the Xuanwu clan, but some changes must have happened later, so that the cultural heritage of Xuanwu was completely cut off, otherwise the temple would not have been built like this.

You know, among the demon tribe where clan culture is prevalent, the temple is equivalent to the ancestral hall of humans, it is the face of the ancestors!

The outer wall was built with so many mistakes that it could almost be considered a scandal. If the Xuanwu clan was still alive, why would they allow it to stand until now?

No one chose to fly over the wall on swords. After all, the elder also said that Xuanwu was once one of the four strongest monsters. Who knew what kind of restrictions were inside the temple that would attack intruders who climbed over the wall?

After walking for a distance, we soon found the main entrance of the temple.

Su Jian took the lead and stepped in, quickly looking around.

"There is a smell of blood, it will be here soon." He said in a deep voice.

In other words, a massacre had taken place here not long ago, so the temple compound is now empty.

Upon seeing this, the faces of all the Shushan sword masters turned gloomy.

To think positively, perhaps the indigenous people of the secret realm had an internal conflict, or even killed each other.

But if you think about it in a bad way, maybe someone got there first and looted everything...

Thinking of this, everyone couldn't help feeling annoyed.

Su Jian walked into the main hall with a gloomy face, and suddenly his eyes lit up and the Han Lie sword was unsheathed.

As if it was a signal flare, the flying swords behind the elders were unsheathed, and then they saw a group of demon sect members guarding the hall. Leading them was none other than the notorious Wei Dongliu, the demon leader who had besieged Kunlun in the past.

"I advise you not to fight here." Jiang Li'an stood beside Wei Dongliu and said with a smile, "lest we be accused of bullying the minority with our numbers."

The number of people on the Demon Sect side does seem to be greater than that on the Shushan side... Ling Yunpo was quickly scanning the opposite side when he heard Su Jian sneer and say:

"What a devil!"

As soon as he finished speaking, the cold sword shot out like lightning and went straight for Jiang Li'an's head.

Wei Dongliu remained calm, Jiang Li'an was smiling, and the six people behind him did not try to stop them, but just showed sarcastic and mocking expressions.

Su Jian's face suddenly changed, and a blue light appeared from the void, then chopped down on his head fiercely.

In a flash, he quickly made sword gestures in his hand, and the cold sword changed from stabbing to stabbing, quickly meeting the blue light.

The light and shadow immediately split into two and were cut off by the Hanlie Sword on the spot, and Su Jian's face turned pale - Ling Yun Poxiao realized that it was probably because the Hanlie Sword was damaged and his life force was affected.

That blue light seemed swift and silent, but unexpectedly its power was so great that it could actually damage the origin of the Han Lie Sword?

Ling Yunpo suddenly realized what was going on and quickly said to everyone:

"Don't do it, there are restrictions in the palace!"

The Shushan men had already drawn their swords, but after hearing the reminder from Master Qingheng, they stopped attacking.

As a result, the expressions on the faces of the people from the Demon Sect opposite turned into disappointment, and Jiang Li'an looked at Ling Yunpo and narrowed his eyes with ill intent.

An Zhisu calmly took a step to the side, blocking the malicious gaze of the Great Freedom Demon.

Seeing that the Demon Cult members did not take advantage of the situation to fight back, the people of Shushan also understood:

There must be some kind of mechanism in this hall that does not allow anyone to use force here, otherwise the powerful blue light and shadow will be used to attack directly.

It was because Su Jian's swordsmanship was so powerful that he could switch from offense to defense at the critical moment. If an ordinary cultivator was hit by this, he would have been torn into pieces.

Ling Yunpo was secretly surprised, and recalled the blue light just now.

Why does the shape of the light and shadow look so much like a dragon's tail? Oh, a whip?

The two sides occupied the left and right sides of the main hall respectively, and neither of them said a word to each other.

However, the people in Shushan were at a loss, not knowing what they were waiting for here; while everyone in Liudao was confident, but it was not known whether they really knew the secret or were just pretending.

Soon, a sinister voice came from inside:

"Another wave of enemies? It doesn't matter. When I have perfected my magical skills, none of you will be able to leave alive. You will all die! All of you will die!"

The people of Shushan remained silent, still confused.

The Demon Cult suddenly became nervous, and seemed to be preparing to take action... so much so that the Shushan side also felt like they were facing a formidable enemy.

"Now!" Wei Dongliu suddenly shouted.

Following his order, the members of the Demon Cult took action one after another. The brilliance of various spells, magic weapons, and magic swords all bombarded the Xuanwu statue deep in the hall.

The Shushan side had prepared their sword moves for a counterattack, but suddenly realized that the attack was not directed at them, so they all quickly turned towards the statue.

The statue was hit by the crowd and immediately exploded, revealing its strange true body.

Ling Yunpo took a closer look and almost vomited out the wine he had drunk.

What kind of ugly monster is this? It looks like it has a tortoise-like shell, but it has six legs sticking out from under the shell, and its neck is as slender as a snake, as if it was made of the flesh and blood of a dragon and a tortoise.

The monster roared furiously and crushed towards everyone with the force of a mountain.

Liudao was well prepared and quickly split into two teams. One team ignored the monster and rushed to the passage behind it while the statue blocking the door was broken.

The other team quickly attracted and intercepted the monster's attack, preventing it from attacking the front team, and intentionally or unintentionally directed the attack towards the Shushan team.

Shushan was unprepared and caught off guard, and could only direct its attack towards the huge monster.

The monster became even more furious as it felt the pain, and it swung its tail under its shell hard, then hit everyone from Shushan hard.
