"Brother Shangguan's swordsmanship is still in its infancy. I can handle it. But when his sword skills are fully developed, I'm afraid I won't be able to handle it." Kong Ju was very sober and did not feel complacent because of Huangfu Wuqin's praise.

After saying that, he led the way to the top of the mountain and stood opposite Shangguan Yuzhou.

Huangfu Wuqin and Zaifu Qiaoqiao followed behind.

Kong Ju smiled and congratulated Shangguan Yuzhou, who had already regained consciousness: "Congratulations to Brother Shangguan for realizing a new sword technique. Your swordsmanship has reached a new level."

"It's a pity that this sword is just in its infancy and the time is too short. If it had two more days, maybe I could have completed it." There was regret in Shangguan Yuzhou's eyes, and he restrained his sharp sword intent as he spoke.

"Master Dongxian was also the first to create the Tianhe Sword Intent in Qianchuan. Based on this, it took him twenty years to achieve the name of Tianhe Sword Immortal." Huangfu Wuqin disagreed with Shangguan Yuzhou's statement and said, "Everything is difficult at the beginning. As long as you have the foundation, you, Shangguan Yuzhou, may not be unable to become the next Tianhe Sword Immortal."

"Haha, thank you, Senior Sister Huangfu, for your kind words." Shangguan Yuzhou's originally somewhat regretful mood suddenly rose again. He was open-minded and pure in character by nature, which was why he was able to leave his peers far behind in the way of the sword.

Kong Ju looked at the several peaks whose tops were cut off by the sword, and reminded Shangguan Yuzhou: "Brother Shangguan, have you come up with a name for the new sword technique?"

"How is the tide?" Shangguan Yuzhou asked Kong Ju, but he did not intend to ask Huangfu Wuqin.

The name the latter gave to Dapeng made him afraid to ask or say a word, for fear that she would suddenly use the Dalang sword technique, which would be very embarrassing to reveal his origin.

"Hmph!" Huangfu Wuqin snorted unhappily, but didn't say much.

How could Kong Ju not know what Shangguan Yuzhou was thinking? Hearing this, he laughed. After a moment of hesitation, he said, "When this sword is slashed out, the sword intent is like the tide, one wave after another. The tide is quite appropriate."

"But Brother Shangguan's sword spirit is bold and unrestrained, so it's not a bad idea to give him a more casual name. How about Nongchao?"

"Okay! Let's call it Nongchao!" Shangguan Yuzhou's eyes lit up and he was very satisfied with the name. At the end, he kept muttering the word Nongchao.

Kong Ju heard it and couldn't stop smiling.

He could already foresee that Shangguan Yuzhou's name would be as famous as his master Dongxian's because of the two words "Nongchao" and would be known throughout Wudong and even the four regions and one sea.

The three of them gathered together to talk.

Zaifu Qiaoqiao, who was standing at the edge like a servant behind Kong Ju, suddenly looked forward and seemed to see something in the clear sky after the rain. He exclaimed, "What is that!"

Kong Ju and the other two looked up immediately upon hearing this.

The scene they saw above the sky made the three of them look shocked.

But above the clear blue sky, a towering mountain emerged from the void.

It was so large that it was no less than the Black Mountain, and it almost filled up all the space in the three people's field of vision.

This mountain is different from the Black Mountain.

It just has the shape of a mountain. The whole mountain is like a dream and can be seen through at a glance.

You can even see the soft sun behind the mountain.

The rippling waves reflect from the surface of the mountain, as if the entire mountain range is condensed by water.

However, it only appeared in the sky for a dozen breaths, and just like the volcano that Kong Ju and the others had seen before, it disappeared into the void.

"The prophet was right. There has indeed been a great change in the wilderness!" Zaifu Qiaoqiao had been at the edge of the wilderness and had never seen such a strange sight. He was shocked beyond words and kept muttering to himself, "The prophet!"

As for Kong Ju and the other two, they looked at the place where the illusory mountain disappeared, with a thoughtful look in their eyes.

"Black Mountain, Volcano, Water Mountain, what is the connection between the three!" Kong Ju subconsciously linked the three peaks he saw along the way together, his mind flickering.

He wouldn't believe it if you said there was no connection.

So besides these three giant peaks, are there any other mountains? Are they appearing one after another to warn the world of something? Or is it, as the Gujiang prophet said, that a great change that is rare in a thousand years is about to happen in the wilderness?

Regardless of whether it was as the prophet said, that level was clearly not something they could reach.

Thinking too much is useless and will only bring disaster upon yourself.

Thinking of this, Kong Ju urged the three people beside him in a low voice: "Stop looking and let's go. We have to leave this wilderness quickly."

There was a hint of uneasiness in his voice.

This time even Huangfu Wuqin and Shangguan Yuzhou chose to obey.

…

Just as Zai Fu Qiaoqiao said, the closer one gets to the edge of the wilderness, the more obvious the signs of witches' activities in the mountains and forests become.

Kong Ju and others rode on the back of Dapeng and saw countless witches and wizards along the way.

As they got closer to the Tianqi Dynasty, the encounters became more frequent.

Fortunately, there was Zaifu Qiaoqiao, a native of Gujiang, who knew roughly where those tribes were located. Kong Ju listened to her narration and repeatedly avoided the hills of those witch tribes.

However, it is inevitable to encounter wizards in the Ascension Wheel realm.

After all, it is so conspicuous in the sky that it is almost impossible to completely avoid the eyes of the ground.

At this time, it is Zai Fu Qiaoqiao's turn to come out and reveal his identity, and most of the time he can pass safely.

Occasionally, when they encountered a difficult enemy, Kong Ju and the other two would not tolerate it. Instead, they would attack with thunder and kill the enemy in the wilderness.

By the time the nearby witch tribe reacted, they had already flown away on their big eagles.

I didn't encounter any difficult situations along the way.

"In the surrounding area, the most powerful tribe is the Zhuyin tribe. Even in Gujiang, it ranks among the top ten tribes."

"Their clan leader is at the level of Soul Transformation and is at the fifth level of the Ascension Wheel."

"Young Master, be careful of them when you go to Tianqi. I heard that many of their clansmen have infiltrated the Tianqi Dynasty."

Riding on the back of the big roc, Zai Fu Qiaoqiao stood obediently behind Kong Ju and told him all the information he knew through voice transmission.

"The Zhuyin tribe is the most powerful spear under the current chief of the Jinming tribe. If they knew the identity of the young master, I'm afraid they would hunt you down in Tianqi."

"Okay, now that you've said it, I understand." Kong Ju nodded silently.

He was not surprised that the Zhuyin tribe was able to infiltrate the Tianqi Dynasty.

The vastness of the border of the Tianqi Dynasty is almost the same as that of Wudong.

Even the Dingyue Sect back then could not control all the movements on the border, and the same was true for the Tianqi Dynasty.

Shangguan Yuzhou, who was on the back of Dapeng, was also surprised at Zaifu Qiaoqiao's sudden submissive attitude towards Kong Ju.

However, he was a person who did not like to delve into the reasons, so he stopped paying attention after looking at it a few more times.

Only Huangfu Wuqin watched all this with a smile on his face, saying nothing, his eyes rolling around, no one knew what he was thinking.

Because of the tortuous road, it took half the time to reach Tianqi, which originally took two days, and it finally took three days.

At noon on the third day, the sun was shining brightly.

Kong Ju, riding on the back of Dapeng, used his virtual vision to see from afar a border wall rising from the ground on the horizon.

"It has taken nearly two months, and we are finally here!" Kong Ju's nerves, which had been tense all the way and not daring to slack off for even a moment, finally relaxed with the appearance of the border wall.

Before entering the city, Kong Ju suddenly asked Dapeng to stop.

Then he winked at Zai Fuqiao who was always standing behind him.

He whispered softly, "It's not convenient for you to enter the city, so you can get off here."

Zaifu Qiaoqiao nodded respectfully, but because Huangfu Wuqin and Shangguan Yuzhou were present, she did not perform any grand ceremony.

Before leaving, he sent a message to Kong Ju: "Young Master, I will find a way to get in touch with you. You are worth a fortune, so please be careful when dealing with things."

Kong Ju opened his mouth. He originally intended to use Zaifu Qiaoqiao as a chess piece when he went to Gujiang.

But judging from her expression, she seems to be determined to follow me.

Zai Fu skillfully jumped off the back of Dapeng and disappeared among the mountains below.

Huangfu Wuqin and Shangguan Yuzhou on the back of Dapeng watched all this but did not try to stop it from beginning to end.

He didn't say a word to Kong Ju for letting Zaifu Qiaoqiao go.

This saved Kong Ju a lot of trouble.

"Let's go into the city!" Kong Ju gently patted Dapeng's back, and with a loud sound of hooves, he turned into a shadow and flew towards the city.

Woqiu City is the border city of the Tianqi Dynasty closest to the Great Wilderness.

Because of the occasional attacks from wild monsters, the Tianqi Dynasty naturally sent heavy troops to garrison there and possessed considerable military force.

The city lord is a powerful spiritual master who has reached the third level of the Ascension Realm.

Therefore, although we are on the border and there are occasional attacks, the city is still safe.

Just three months ago, the residents and monks in Woqiu City vaguely sensed that something was wrong.

There is no wrong version in the 1619 book forum!

For no reason, many soldiers in golden armor appeared in the city.

All cultivators of the Tianqi Dynasty knew that in the entire Tianqi, the only soldiers qualified to wear golden armor were the dynasty's imperial guards, each of whom was a veteran of hundreds of battles.

The sudden appearance of the golden-armored guards in this border city is no small matter.

As a result, the monks in the city have been living in fear for the past few months and dare not speak loudly.

Of course, there are also speculations about this matter. After all, if one wants to mobilize the imperial guards, no one can get their hands on the imperial guards without the emperor's nod.

Today is just an ordinary day for the monks in Woqiu City.

Many independent cultivators have gone out of the city early in the morning under the scorching sun, either to look for elixirs or to hunt monsters to earn the nourishment needed for their cultivation.

As usual, the guards of Woqiu City were either stationed on the city walls or patrolling the city regularly.

There were also monks who set up a small stall in the city market, waiting for today's buyers. There were almost no mortals who could live in this border city, and most of them were monks.

The autumn sun was shining brightly. The city guards stationed on the city wall looked at the wilderness cautiously, and swept their sharp eyes over the mountains outside to ensure that they could give signals to the city as soon as possible in case of any emergency.

A captain of the guards with a big beard stood on the top of the city wall with a long bow on his back. He was obviously an experienced archer.

Whenever his eyes swept across the hills outside the city walls, they would sparkle with strange colors.

A good archer has his own unique eye technique.

The bearded man took a quick look around and found nothing unusual. He was about to turn around and hand over the reconnaissance on the city wall to his subordinates next to him.

Suddenly, he caught a glimpse of a white dot on the sky line.

The white dot was extremely fast, and the bearded man only took a blink of an eye to see it.

The white dot disappeared without a trace, and when it reappeared, it had already crossed dozens of miles from the depths of the mountains and arrived in the sky less than twenty miles away from Woqiu City.

And this is obviously because the other party deliberately slowed down.

If it continued to fly at the same speed as just now, he might not even be able to catch a glimpse of its afterimage. This made the bearded veteran, who had been on many battles, change his expression instantly.

Especially the existence close to the city, the moment when its full appearance was revealed under his gaze.

The shock in his eyes had turned into deep fear.

What a ferocious bird of prey it was, with a flawless white body and fierce eyes. One could feel the terrifying aura emanating from its body from a long distance away.

That was the murderous aura that was generated by killing countless monsters.

The bird of prey also noticed the bearded man's spying on it, and its fascinating bird eyes looked at him from a distance, with a flash of red-gold in the bird of prey's eyes.

The bearded man only felt a pain in his eyeballs. He was only at the seventh level of Yanglun and had no power to resist at all. His pupil technique of spying on the opponent was broken by it.

"The rising wheel monster!"

The Shenglun monsters rarely appear on the border. Most of them live in the wilderness and have their own territories.

However, there are precedents of ascended monsters walking out of the wilderness. Once a monster of this level is allowed to enter Woqiu City, rivers of blood will flow.

The bearded man did not dare to hesitate for a moment. He suppressed his fear and roared, "Beat the city drums! Archers, get ready!"

The city drum is the highest alert drum sound that can only be sounded when encountering a threat of escalating level.

The guards on the city wall all looked horrified.

But after all, they were experienced city guards and they quickly passed the order down.

Rumble, rumble! The deep sound of drums on the city wall echoed throughout Woqiu City as the drummers beat desperately.

Countless archers on the top of the city pulled their bowstrings and aimed at the white-feathered bird of prey that was soaring in the air without moving forward.

The sound of drums spread throughout Woqiu City, and countless city guards began to rush towards the top of the city, creating order in the chaos.

The monks in the city were in a panic. Many monks who set up stalls did not even pack up their things and ran for their lives in panic.

In the history of Woqiu City, every sound of the city drum was accompanied by tragic bloodshed.

The sound of thunder and drums awakened not only the city guards and monks, but also three powerful men with strong auras who were sitting opposite each other in the elegant courtyard of the city lord's mansion.

The three of them glanced at each other and then disappeared on the spot.

"Shoot!"

On the top of the city wall, amid the roar of the bearded man, thousands of arrows were fired, and a rain of swords came from the top of the city wall and shot towards the bird of prey in the sky.

However, the arrows shot by ordinary Yanglun monks could not hurt the monster in the Shenglun realm.

It didn't even blink, and as the demonic energy in its body vibrated, it repelled all the arrows ten feet outside its body.

Although it couldn't be hurt, it aroused its ferocity.

"Clang!" With a loud hoofbeat, the bird's eyes instantly turned red, and it was about to pounce into the city.

With its speed, it would only take one or two breaths for it to reach the city and slaughter all the monks who provoked it.

Long before the arrows were shot, three powerful Shenglun warriors who came out of the City Lord's Mansion arrived on the top of the city.

A middle-aged man in a black shirt exudes the murderous aura of a veteran on the battlefield.

A young general in golden armor, carrying a silver spear, looks very heroic.

A young man wearing a dragon robe has an air of nobility in his bones.

The three of them looked at the ferocious aura of the white-feathered bird and showed an interested expression.

The three Ascension Wheels on the top of the city are not ordinary Ascension Wheels. The monsters at the ordinary Ascension Wheel level are not enough for them to kill.

The three were waiting for the bird of prey to pounce on them.

A voice sounded from somewhere in the world, dispelling the murderous look in the eyes of the bird of prey.

“Don’t hurt anyone!”

I was planning to go to the wedding banquet tomorrow, so I drove the car downstairs today.

I can’t shirk my responsibilities. I can’t shirk my responsibilities. That’s all for today, everyone.

I will definitely update if I can come back early tomorrow. If I don’t update, it means I haven’t come back.
