The king of the gray fog land has fallen.

The king's younger brothers also followed their king.

Justice triumphs over evil! After a fierce battle, Zhou Qing and his team stood at the end.

This is an unsurprising result and needs no further elaboration.

It would be incredible if the five of them were killed by a King of the Underworld.

"call!"

The wind was whistling and the air was flowing backwards. Then Zhou Qing and the others saw the black fog begin to shrink, and the gray fog quickly occupied the black fog's territory.

Finally, the black fog shrank and condensed into a door, with the mist surging and rippling.

This is the exit to the Land of Gray Mist.

At the same time, in front of the Black Mist Gate, there was a small grass growing, and on the grass hung two fruits the size of a fingernail, one red and one black.

"Is this the most precious treasure in the Gray Mist Land that was guarded by the monster just now?"

Zhou Qing was a little curious because he had never seen this thing before.

"This is……"

Ao Xuanwei lowered her head to observe, and then a look of sudden realization appeared on her face.

"Soul Blood Grass, it should be this kind of thing."

Zhou Qing asked: "What is the effect?"

"This is a very high-grade divine herb. Among the many Yin God True Blood treasures, it is also top-grade."

Ao Xuanwei explained: "The body of the Soul Blood Grass can be used to assist in alchemy. As far as I know, there are several types of Earth Realm elixirs that can use the body of the Soul Blood Grass."

Zhou Qing nodded, "That's quite precious."

Although it is not the main ingredient of Earth Realm elixir, anything that can appear in it is definitely not an ordinary item.

"It bears two fruits. The red one is the blood fruit, and the black one is the soul fruit. They are treasures exclusively for the Venerables. After taking them, you can improve your cultivation and condense your Yin Spirit and True Blood at the same time, giving you more potential than other Venerables."

The effect of the fruit is also quite good. In the world, any treasure that can improve cultivation and enhance potential can definitely be regarded as the most precious one and is desired by countless people.

The most important thing is that it is difficult to buy this kind of thing.

Even in Xuandu Temple, the probability of most true disciples obtaining such treasures after being promoted to Venerable is not high.

There are too many monks and too little porridge.

And if you can take such a treasure, you will undoubtedly be ahead of others.

Murong Yanran said: "Junior brother, please put this Soul Blood Grass away first."

Zhou Qing did not refuse. How to distribute the money was something they could discuss outside. There was no need to waste time here on such a thing.

After collecting the Soul Blood Grass, Zhou Qing turned to look at the gray fog behind him and said with a smile:

“I wonder what’s happening to those who chose the same door as us.”

"They don't have the means like my brother to guide the location of the King of the Underworld."

Shi Yi smiled and said, "This gray foggy land is extremely dependent on luck. I guess the others are still wandering around in the gray fog."

What Shi Yi said was right. Those who had chosen the leftmost portal were now scattered throughout the gray fog. They were moving forward carefully, alert to all kinds of possible dangers.

"I don't know where the King of the Underworld is. I hope we can meet him first."

"My family has a lot of information about the Gray Mist Land. This time, my chances of finding the King of the Underworld in advance have greatly increased. By then, I will be ahead of others!"

"Damn it, there's not much use in sensing here. Who built this lousy place? It's simply torture."

“…”

Each team and each expert are still in the process of exploring the gray fog land. They have all kinds of ideas in mind, but they all want to find the King of the Underworld first and gain the upper hand.

But the truth is always regrettable. They would never have thought that the King of the Underworld, whom they could only rely on luck to find, had already been killed by Zhou Qing and his team.

You know, it hasn’t been long since the exit of the Jiuwu Front Hall was opened and the gray fog land appeared.

Everyone's exploration has just begun, but you say that someone has already completed it? Don't go too far.

Cheating, this must be cheating!

It can be predicted that when the few people who are confident in themselves see the Black Mist Gate, they will be very surprised.

I blame you?

While the others were full of anticipation and caution, Zhou Qing and his four companions had already stepped into the black fog gate. The feeling of traveling through time and space reappeared, and when the light returned to their sight, they had arrived at another place.

Surprisingly, this is a land full of birdsong and flowers.

The ground is covered with green grass, bright flowers, and you can also see some small animals.

These little animals are not ordinary beasts, but they are not very strong either. Looking up at the sky, there is even the sun shining.

However, if you feel it carefully, you will find that it is not the real sun, but an extremely large and hot luminous energy body.

When mental power was released, as always, the perception ability was suppressed, with few exceptions.

This is basically the case in the Ancient Temple, where the perception of practitioners is strictly restricted.

"What is this place?"

Zhou Qingzhen thought this temple was extremely strange. Was such a scene supposed to appear in a lump of iron? "The temple garden."

Shi Yi replied, "This place is different from the two areas we passed before. The dangers contained in the temple garden are few and small, but the garden contains many treasures of plants and trees."

Zhou Qing was stunned. "There is no danger, and there are treasures. Doesn't that mean that the treasures here can be picked by anyone?"

"Isn't this a gift to those who enter the temple?"

If this is true, then Zhou Qing suggested changing the name of the Minggu Temple to Minggu Charity Hall.

"In the beginning, when our ancestors didn't know much about the Hades Temple, they did think so."

Shi Yi shook his head and said, "But after more people entered the temple garden, our ancestors used their lives and blood to figure out a truth."

“Take as little as possible, or even nothing at all, of the treasures in the garden.”

"We don't know where we will end up after passing through the garden, but the more treasures we take from the garden, the more dangerous it will be later. The temple's restrictions will directly target you."

“Before this bit of information was discovered, I don’t know how many people died in the backyard because they were recklessly searching for treasures in the garden.”

Hearing this, Zhou Qing couldn't help but sigh: "Greed is deadly."

In this way, this place seems to be harmless, but it actually contains a deadly trap, but this trap will not catch you immediately.

"Everyone comes to a place like this for the benefits." Ao Xuanwei shook his head and said:

"If we didn't know about this trap in advance, I'm afraid no one would be able to restrain themselves."

"really."

Lu Yuanyuan echoed, "If there is no threat, then we will probably loot a lot of treasures after this."

Several people agreed with it.

"So how do we get out of here?"

“The highest point in the garden is where the exit is.”

Shi Yi replied, "But if you want to pass through there, you need to find a token in the garden. It is a token engraved with the Hades Temple. Only with the token can the passage be activated. There are five of us, so we need to find five tokens."

"Everyone must hold a token before leaving here?"

Zhou Qing immediately thought of something, "How many tokens are there in the garden? Will there be as many tokens as there are people coming in?"

"No, the number of tokens is limited."

At this point, Lu Yuanyuan and the others all had changes in expression.

"What if the keepsake is not found?"

After hearing this question, Shi Yi looked behind him.

The way we came is gone.

And there is no way to go back, nor to move forward...

"Without the token, they can only stay in the temple garden. When the Hades Ancient Temple disappears, they will disappear with it."

Lu Yuanyuan whispered, "There is no danger here..."

It was obviously extremely dangerous! Facing a dangerous and powerful enemy, there was still room for resistance, but staying here because of not being able to find the token was truly the most hopeless thing.

No one knows where the Hades Temple will go after it disappears. Perhaps the people who stayed in the garden are still alive.

But you can never return to your own world, and being trapped here for the rest of your life is worse than death.

The Temple Garden sounds safe and beautiful, with no dangers, but the cruelty and despair lurking in the deepest part of this place are even greater than those in the previous two areas.

"Luckily we are the first to enter the garden. Wait, will the people who enter the other portals in the Jiuwu Front Hall also appear here?"

"People from the other four gates will definitely not appear in the gray fog land, or in other words, they will not appear in our gray fog land, but it is possible for them to appear in the garden."

"But there is good news. A person can only hold one token. Even if you collect more, they will fall off your body when you enter the garden exit. Tokens cannot be put into the space bag."

"Also, the treasures here cannot be stored in the space bag. They can only be carried on the body. This restriction will not disappear until you leave the garden."

In this way, it will prevent some people from collecting multiple tokens and deliberately killing others.

It is good news indeed.

And the treasures cannot be put into the space bag... This will undoubtedly bring some troubles. For example, if you meet other people, they may attack you just because they see your treasures.

"We have to look for the token first. As for the treasures here, let's look for them as we go."

"Well, if you come across something you need, it's fine to take it. With our strength, it won't be dangerous for each of us to take one or two treasures."

We need to restrain our greed, but that doesn't mean we should be completely free from desires.

How to choose in this garden ultimately depends on your own strength.

However, Zhou Qing looked around, pondered for a moment, and suddenly said:

"Since there is no danger here, it should be more efficient if we act separately."

"I have a treasure here that allows us to communicate instantly. Even if we are separated, we can still communicate at all times, and we can also sense each other's location. Even if something unexpected happens, others can rush over quickly."

Zhou Qing took out a snail.

Speaking of snails, there is one thing that must be mentioned.

That month, Brother Shu gave him a rare item that could be used for reproduction, and Zhou Qing used it on the snail.

It is indeed useful. The number of snails that had not grown for a long time increased by two at once, and the signal coverage range of the snails is also wider.

Now, in addition to the two that Lu Qingmo and Bai Ruoyue have held for a long time, Zhou Qing has three baby snails at his disposal to deal with different situations.

"This will indeed be more efficient." Murong Yanran thought for a moment and said, "I think this method is feasible."

The others also agreed, and finally, the five men split into three groups.

Murong Yanran and Shi Yi went together, Ao Xuanwei and Lu Yuanyuan went together, and Zhou Qing went alone.

Originally they were planning to split into two groups, one with two people and the other with three people, but Zhou Qing felt that it would be fine for him to go alone.

Advancing in three directions at the same time will be more efficient. The mechanism for leaving the garden's tokens really needs to be handled with caution. The sooner you find five tokens, the better.

The others were reluctant to agree at first, but were persuaded by Zhou Qing.

Please...collect 6_9_book_bar (Six//Nine//Book//bar)

With Zhou Qing's current strength and trump card, he can protect himself even if he encounters the two-headed dog, so it is safe for him to go alone.

Fortunately, the treasures in the garden cannot be put into the space bag. Otherwise, if Zhou Qing entered here with a team he was not familiar with, then his request would probably be considered as someone who wanted to collect treasures quietly by himself...

The five people separated and went their separate ways.

At the same time, three people appeared out of nowhere in another location in the temple garden.

They were completely covered in black robes, so their bodies and faces could not be seen clearly. After they appeared, they immediately disappeared and could not be seen by the naked eye.

This was different from their appearance out of thin air just now. Their disappearance now was obviously due to their own Taoist magic or treasures.

After a while, they reappeared after making sure there was no danger around, and a voice was heard.

"Temple Gardens?"

"It should be."

"It's a pity that we can't collect all the tokens. I really want to see the desperate faces of those people who have no tokens and have to stay here."

"I don't know if I'll have the chance to meet them here. I'm really looking forward to meeting them."

"The environment of this Hades Temple is really suitable for our actions, and it provides a natural convenience for us to hide."

"Let's go find the keepsake first."

“…”

"bump!"

Zhou Qing swung his sword at the light curtain in front of him, but the Taibai Sword was blocked and failed to cut through the light curtain.

"What a solid ban."

Zhou Qing muttered to himself.

In the ban, there is a pink flower with a small piece of gel at the pistil.

Red-pink jade glue, one of the treasures that can be used when it is condensed and dispersed.

Zhou Qing walked alone for a long time and encountered many treasures, but he did not find the token.

All the treasures in the garden are prohibited and protected without exception.

There are no local dangers in the garden, but that doesn't mean treasures are readily available. These restrictions are things that need to be resolved.

However, they are all purely defensive prohibitions. If you want to take the treasure, you can attack as much as you want without worrying about being counterattacked.

The Hunyuan Fire surged out, fell on the restriction, and continued to burn it.

After a long time, the restriction was broken and Zhou Qing took away the rosy jade glue.

He doesn't have to take this treasure with him. If he encounters better things later on the road, he can collect them and make a choice.

Just be careful not to take too much with you before you leave the garden.

After searching the area around the pink jade glue, no token was found.

“It’s really hard to find.”

There is no fixed location for garden keepsakes, but there are traces of them.

That is, the more precious the treasure, the greater the possibility of a token appearing nearby.

The condensed and scattered treasure, in terms of value, is at least on the level of a treasure at the Yin God True Blood Realm, which is already very good. Unfortunately, there is no token here.

As time passed, more and more people appeared in the garden.

Through Snail, Ao Xuanwei and the others have been in contact with Zhou Qing, and they have also found the tokens, a total of three pieces, and they only need two more.

"I found a piece here."

Zhou Qing looked at the big tree in front of him and informed Ao Xuanwei and the others.

There was a blue fruit on the big tree, and a token engraved with the Hades Temple was inserted into the tree.

“Finally found it.”

Zhou Qing felt that it had not been easy for him along the way, but now he finally reaped the rewards.

But first, we have to break the ban covering the tree.

The blue fruits on the tree are treasures of very high quality. Zhou Qing can tell this from the strength of the ban.

“Swish!”

The sword light shone, and the wind howled, but these sword light and wind did not come from Zhou Qing, but from behind him! Someone attacked!

Zhou Qing's hair stood on end, his body shook, and he burst out at full speed, dodging the two attacks.

"boom!"

The two attacks landed on the restriction, causing ripples and continuous vibrations.

After the crisis was resolved, Zhou Qing immediately locked onto the people who attacked him. There were three people standing in the distance, all dressed in black robes, with a dark and hidden aura.

The three of them launched a sneak attack on Zhou Qing from a distance. It was not that they didn't want to get closer, but they tried not to give Zhou Qing a chance to react.

But even if they are good at hiding, it is impossible for them to quietly approach a master of Xuan Du.

"Haha, after searching everywhere for something, I finally found it. I didn't expect to meet you, the ninth true disciple of Xuandu Temple, here."

The voice of one of the men in black robes sounded very young, that of a young man.

Zhou Qing's eyes flashed coldly, "Who are you, you sly people?"

"hey-hey."

Another man in black robe laughed coldly:

"It's the impermanence of life!"

Zhou Qing's expression suddenly turned cold, "Impermanence Palace?"

"Okay, okay, okay. I've wanted to kill you for a long time, and today I finally got the chance."

Zhou Qing had not expected that he would meet someone from the Hall of Impermanence in the Ancient Temple of the Darkness. No wonder their hiding skills were so advanced that they could quietly reach that distance.

The concealment technique of the Wuchang Palace is unique in the world. It is the signature of the top Taoist school, so you can imagine how magical it is.

This is a lawless place with no order or law, and no one has set up checkpoints to prohibit certain people from entering. It is normal for evil cultivators and demons to appear here.

It can even be said that such a lawless place is most popular among these demons.

Being able to kill at will and act recklessly is perfect for them.

Therefore, in many dangerous places in the world that can be explored, demons are rampant.

But Zhou Qing didn't care about this. He just felt deeply surprised.

Wuchang Palace, you're here at the right time! I've been wanting to kill you filthy creatures for a long time!

"As expected of the Ninth True Disciple of Xuandu Temple, you are so arrogant. I just wonder if you are really that capable!"

"Zhou Qing, you know, after we heard the news about you, we have been looking forward to meeting you, and today our fate has finally come!"

"Hahaha."

Zhou Qing suddenly laughed: "What a coincidence, I have also been looking forward to meeting you filthy creatures."

"Today is truly a blessing from God. Meeting you makes me happier than getting any more treasures."

"It seems that the position of the ninth true disciple of Xuandu Temple has made you unable to recognize yourself."

A man in black robe sneered, "Zhou Qing, can you really turn the world upside down by yourself?"

They were very confident. Three against one, so what even if the opponent was the ninth true disciple of Xuandu Temple?

The advantage is mine!

"Bring your head back to the temple. I'm sure the temple will be very happy. Die!"

The black-robed man holding the sword came rushing over and arrived in an instant. It turned out to be a man who had reached the pinnacle of marrow cleansing.

The other person was floating in the air, but his aura was also terrifying and surging, and he was in the late stage of Manifestation of Sainthood.

The last one is a monk, who is even more powerful and has the ability to achieve perfection in sainthood.

Zhou Qing stood still, but a warship had quietly emerged beside him.

The warship suddenly grew larger, Zhou Qing's soul escaped into it, and power was instantly infused into it.

Fierce and majestic, the aura that suppressed the heaven and earth poured out in an overwhelming manner, as if a giant beast was born, roaring at the world.

When the three practitioners from the Hall of Impermanence saw this scene, their expressions changed drastically and they were so shocked that their voices broke when they spoke.

"Artifact of war?!"

Knowledgeable.

But this is not necessarily a good thing.

Before he finished his words, the three of them turned and ran, each in a different direction, without the slightest hesitation.

Unfortunately, it's too late.

The top-grade war artifact, the Six-Polar Warship, glowed suddenly, energy condensed, and then shot out violently with such great power that the space seemed to be rippling.

Fire!!! (End of this chapter)
