Chapter 347: Four Walkers, Five Natives, and the Ambition of the Forest King!
After leaving the side hall, Xiao An and other female ghost servants came up and took their guests away one by one.
In the next few days, these female ghosts acted as guides for the distinguished guests holding the Qingjue calligraphy.
Xiao An took Xia Lin all the way to the guest room area.
It is said to be a guest room, but in fact it is a group of buildings and a temple with a gorgeous style.
Moreover, this place is densely covered with array patterns, which isolates the ghost aura and is filled with spiritual energy and fairy air, making it more suitable for living people to live in.
"I wonder if you are satisfied with the environment here?"
Xiao An asked this, and Xia Lin nodded: "Of course I am satisfied."
Xiao An said again: "If you need anything else, you can call me at any time."
Xia Lin nodded again.
It was not until he was about to leave that Xiao An seemed to remember something and looked at Xia Lin again.
"Xiao An forgot, and now I don't even know the young master's name."
Xia Lin smiled and uttered two words.
"Boundary Sea."
…
Jie Hai is undoubtedly a pseudonym, which Xia Lin made up casually.
"As long as it doesn't remind people of the name Xia Lin, it's a good pseudonym!"
This was Xia Lin’s true thought as he lay in bed.
The incense has been lit, emitting a subtle fragrance that can calm the mind.
Xia Lin lay on the soft big bed with his eyes closed, seemingly dozing off, but in fact he was sorting out a series of situations from the time he entered the venue to the present.
Prince Mori’s birthday banquet, the most secret treasure, and the conspiracy.
The three key points are intertwined to form the background of this ashes area.
Thinking of the conversation between the nine people holding the Qingjue calligraphy in the side hall just now, Xia Lin breathed a sigh of relief.
"The situation is a bit complicated."
Sen Wang organized a party and eight people attended the banquet.
But except for Mori Wang, they are all people with ulterior motives and hiding their true intentions.
And his archenemy, Luo Zhidao, was also hiding among these people.
"From the perspective of the situation, it seems to be a better choice to sell the Qingjue calligraphy and not participate in the exploration of the Qingjue secret collection."
Because the main mission is not linked to clearing the secret treasures.
The main quest only requires Xia Lin to attend the birthday banquet of King Mori and survive until the end of the time in the ashes zone. It seems that there is no need to clear the secret treasure.
But Xia Lin didn't dare to be the first to speak out.
Yes, it’s not that I don’t want to, but that I don’t dare…
"Two considerations."
"First, the main mission."
"Although on the surface, the main quest is not linked to the Qing Jue Secret Treasure, the main quest description has already hinted that this birthday banquet will inevitably have changes and crises."
"And right now, taking advantage of the birthday banquet, King Mori wants to explore the Qingjue Secret Treasure. It is easy to link this inevitable crisis with the Qingjue Secret Treasure."
"As we all know, the more passive you are, the greater the danger. Rather than waiting for danger to come to you, it is better to take action first, or even nip the crisis in the bud."
Passive waiting is not Xia Lin's style; taking the initiative is.
In his opinion, since the Qingjue secret treasure is the focus and key of this ashes area, and may even be the source of the crisis, for the sake of the main task, there is no need for Xia Lin to hide.
Hiding will not solve the problem, but will only put your fate in the hands of others.
Take the initiative, no matter whether the result is good or bad, at least your destiny is in your own hands.
"Second, the problem of Luo Zhidao."
"Right now the enemy is in the dark and I am in the dark. He doesn't know me and I don't know him."
"Whoever identifies the other party first will have the upper hand... So in this round, I must not be the first to stand out."
This is where the complexity of the situation lies.
What Xia Lin needs to consider is not only limited to the main mission and clearing the secret treasures, but also the potential threat of the fourth sequence of the human race, Luo Zhidao.
One wrong step could easily lead to fatal disaster.
This left Xia Lin no choice but to be careful.
…
Senluo Ancient City, Senluo Palace.
After Xiao An and other female ghosts retreated, King Sen picked up the spiritual jade on the table.
When the ghost energy flows in, the information will appear.
What is recorded in this spiritual jade is the names of the other eight people who hold the Qingjue Token, as well as their every move when they came.
After quickly scanning it with his spiritual sense, King Mori put down the spiritual jade and fell into deep thought.
After a moment, he sneered.
"Sure enough, this secret treasure is neither easy to open nor easy to take."
Because among the eight people, he could see through the disguises of only three!
The remaining five people either had valuable treasures to protect themselves or had extraordinary skills, so even King Mori could not see through their origins and whereabouts!
One of the people who knew her identity was the old ghost cultivator.
She is known as Tree Granny in the underworld and is an extremely powerful ghost cultivator in the area under the jurisdiction of the Forest King.
Although he has not reached the level of eleven, he rarely loses at level ten, and has even managed to escape from the hands of level eleven warriors.
It seems that this ghost should be a subordinate of King Mori, but King Mori knows that Grandma Shu has connections with the Ghost Control Sect, and the Ghost Control Sect is one of the forces under the command of the Lord of Heaven.
To put it bluntly, the identity of Grandma Tree is a spy planted here by the Lord of Heaven.
Thinking about Grandma Shu's usual words and deeds, King Mori raised the corner of his mouth, revealing a hint of coldness.
He has a bad relationship with the tree lady.
The second person who could see through his identity was the cultivator named Zhang Chu.
He did disguise himself, and his real identity was indeed a casual cultivator.
It was only after the meeting that King Mori realized that Zhang Chu was actually a famous eleventh-level knight in the main universe! Moreover, he was one of the top dual-professionals in the current main universe!
The path Zhang Chu took was the same as that of the Sword God Qingjue, which was also the path of dual cultivation of immortality and martial arts.
It is said by everyone that Zhang Chu inherits the legacy of the Qingjue Sword God and is the successor of the Qingjue Sword God. Zhang Chu himself has not denied this.
At this time, it was reasonable for King Mori to gather nine pieces of Qingjue calligraphy and lure out this person.
The third person who could see through his identity was the ghost man in white.
Level 11, ghost clan, Mori Wang’s sworn brother, Gong Chen.
And this Gong Chen is one of King Sen’s own people.
Speak of the devil; he will appear.
Amidst the floating ghostly aura, Gong Chen's figure gathered around King Mori like smoke.
When their eyes met, Gong Chen sighed, "Brother, I really can't find the origins of the other people."
King Mori nodded slightly, and then said: "Forget it if you can't find it..."
Having said this, King Mori sneered.
"Anyway, there's no way I'll let these people leave the Qingjue Secret Treasure alive!"
King Mori seems to be free and easy, but how can he share his secret treasure with others? Moreover, King Mori has greater ambitions to take advantage of this birthday banquet and this opportunity to open the Qingjue secret treasure! Turning his head to look at Lingyu again, Lingyu glowed slightly, revealing the figures of the other five people.
Leviathan (that crazy giant).
Boundary sea.
Yanjie.
Beria.
The rainy season is sunny.
Looking at these five people of unknown origin, King Mori spoke calmly.
"Do you know how many of these five people are from the Ash Walker Zone?"
Gong Chen shook his head blankly, and King Mori sneered.
"Four...four in total!"
After saying this, King Mori waved his sleeves, and the spiritual jade turned into ashes and dispersed in the floating ghost energy.
Mori Ou's voice turned cold again.
"The Cinder Zone system was created by the Six Pillars."
"It looks like an independent Gu Zhong, growing on its own in its own area, but the shadow of the Cinder Walker can be seen everywhere in the main universe!"
The real Jhin zone occupies a large part of the Jhin zone.
Wherever there is disaster, there are the Ash Walkers.
This is essentially a good thing.
Let the Ash Walker take action to resolve some minor troubles. This will be beneficial to the harmonious development of the main universe and will also bring challenges to the Ash Walker.
But the question is, what do you think of the villains whose plans were ruined by the Jhin Walker? And in this game, the Mori King was obviously labeled as a villain by the Jhin Walker...
"But in this world, where are the good guys and bad guys?"
"It's nothing more than that I touched the bottom line of the Cinders and even the Six Pillars, so the Cinders sent four Cinders Walkers to teach me a lesson!"
King Mori said this in a cold voice, which caused Gong Chen to lower his head and dare not say a word.
He, Mori Wang's sworn brother, has just entered the eleventh level.
However, Mori Wang is a veteran level 11...even only a few of his own people know that Mori Wang has already vaguely touched the boundary of level 12!
——Achieve the boundary of level 12 without relying on the six pillars! Either be a dog or don’t enter the 12th level.
This is the consensus of the eleventh-level strongmen in the main universe.
But there are always people who keep trying to break this consensus...
"Qing Jue is one, and so am I."
Muttering this, King Mori turned and looked at Gong Chen.
"Do you know how Qing Jue died?"
Gong Chen shook his head, and then he heard King Sen grit his teeth and say, "He was crushed to death by the Heavenly Maker himself!"
After saying this, King Mori suddenly lost his temper.
He leaned back in his chair and spoke slowly, "I'm not as good as Qing Jue."
"Qing Jue's research during his lifetime may have touched the bottom line of the Six Pillars' power monopoly, which led to his death."
"But right now, my research is obviously far from in-depth enough. The Six Pillars didn't even bother to look at me. They just sent a few Cinder Walkers from the Cinder System..."
Gong Chen said, "Perhaps this is not the intention of the Six Pillars. It just happens that these four Cinder Zone Walkers have the Qing Jue Calligraphy Copybook in their hands."
King Mori sneered again: "This is not a conflict. The will of the six pillars is so difficult to ask. How can you guess it in private?"
Gong Chen stopped talking and just listened to King Mori continue: "And this time I opened Qing Jue's secret collection, the purpose is to obtain Qing Jue's final research results before his death."
"Use this as a reference to perfect my way! If it works, then the path to level twelve will no longer be bound by the six pillars, and the situation of the six pillars fighting each other will also be overturned!"
"For this, I, Sen Shuhan, will die without regrets!"
When saying this, King Mori was full of vigor and his eyes were shining!
Gong Chen was also filled with emotion upon seeing this.
A sentence suddenly popped up in my mind.
"Establish a mind for heaven and earth, establish a destiny for the people, carry on the lost knowledge of the ancient sages, and bring peace to the world for all eternity."
The ambition of the Mori King is comparable to that of a sage!
Not only for himself, but also for the countless pure people who don't want to be dogs but want to seek the truth! Gong Chen was convinced by this big brother.
"Then these four Ash Walkers..."
Gong Chen asked this, and King Mori answered.
"The Cinder Walker who was sent by the Cinder to interfere with me must be very powerful and have many tricks. He is difficult to deal with."
"Taking action outside will only increase the variables and give them more room for maneuver. It is better to wait until they enter the Qingjue Secret Vault before dealing with them."
After saying that, King Mori looked at Gong Chen and said, "Don't worry, they are just a bunch of juniors after all, and they can't escape from my grasp."
"Not to mention, I am more familiar with the Qingjue secret treasure than they are. This group of people will be of greater use in the secret treasure."
"Provide them with good food and drink for a few days. Everything will be revealed after they enter the secret vault!"
…
Xia Lin didn't know that King Mori was extremely ambitious.
But the main quest of the Jhin zone has indeed shown that the risks in this Jhin zone are quite high.
In the next few days, Xia Lin tried to obtain more information, but to no avail.
Because Xiao An is always by Xia Lin's side...
With Xiao An around, Xia Lin found it difficult to explore more secrets, and he couldn't get in touch with the people who knew the secrets - it wasn't just Xia Lin. According to Xia Lin's observation, the other people were also treated in the same way.
So, when the time was approaching, the only thing Xia Lin could be sure of was one thing.
Mori Wang, has no good intentions.
Seven days later, the birthday banquet started on time.
Unlike ordinary birthday banquets, this time King Mori held a buffet under the slogan of "sharing happiness with the people", and this buffet will last for a full half month.
This is equivalent to that the birthday party of the Forest King will continue until the time limit of the Ashen Zone expires.
On the last day of the birthday party, which is also the day when the time limit for the Jhin zone expires, the Forest King will show up at the birthday party.
"This also means that the problem will occur on the last day."
The logic is not much different from the outer Shenxianxia Zhuan Jin area.
These are situations where a devastating disaster will occur before the main mission is completed.
The cause of this disaster must be King Mori.
Second, there is the secret treasure that seems to be unrelated to the main quest, but is actually closely related to the main quest.
Just when the birthday banquet was about to begin, it was still in the side hall.
The nine people gathered again, and Mori Wang spoke softly.
"Today is the day."
After saying this, he had already taken out his copy of Qingjue calligraphy.
The rest followed suit.
…
All nine calligraphy copies appeared, suddenly emitting a faint light.
The lights connected together, winding and spreading into the distance, as if indicating the exact location of the Qingjue secret treasure.
Everyone looked up, but the landing point of the thread was far beyond the limit of everyone's perception, which made Mori Wang speak.
"Qing Jue's secret treasure was hidden by Qing Jue in an unknown place. Only when all nine copies of calligraphy are gathered together can the location of Qing Jue's secret treasure be found."
"At the moment, this location seems to be very far away from us. How about I take you to the Qingjue Secret Vault as soon as possible? What do you think?"
Of course, no one would have any other objections.
After seeing everyone nod, ghost energy suddenly emerged from Mori Wang's body.
The surrounding space began to shake violently, and all kinds of strange, terrifying and hideous scenes flashed around.
This is the power of the ghost! And the ghost of the forest king is the famous eighteen levels of hell!
Now covered by the power of the devil, a sense of horror instantly enveloped everyone's heart.
The energy in the body flows spontaneously, resisting the pull of the evil spirits - this is the instinct of the extraordinary.
Because they were covered by the ghost den, they naturally lost the home advantage and were in danger of their lives.
But when Gong Chen took the lead and gave up resistance, everyone followed suit and allowed the power of the ghost den to cover them and pull them in.
In an instant, the distance became unknown.
If a higher being looks over, they can see that the Eighteen Hells of Senluo below the ancient city of Senluo suddenly become flat and elongated, spreading into the distance like a silk thread.
And just a breath later, everyone's eyes flashed and they appeared in the no man's sky.
The power of the evil spirit slowly dissipated, and King Mori looked at the meteorite in front of him and nodded slightly.
"We're here."
…
Xia Lin raised his head and looked forward.
Ahead, there are many meteorites, which seems to be a natural meteorite belt.
But one of them had a dark color, with faint lines emerging from it, as if it were an optical illusion.
He lowered his head and looked at the Qingjue calligraphy in his hand. A thread extended from the calligraphy, pointing accurately to the meteorite in front of him - what King Mori said was right, this meteorite seemed to be the hidden place of Qingjue's secret treasure.
"Then what's next..."
The giant Leviathan scratched his head, not knowing how to open the Qingjue secret treasure.
Before King Mori could speak, the meteorite had already floated in front of everyone.
A strong pulling force was transmitted from the hands.
The meteorite is pulling the Qingjue calligraphy in everyone's hands.
Without King Mori's order, everyone had already let go, allowing the meteorite to pull the copybook and fly into it.
It's like a key finding the right keyhole.
After a flash of light, the meteorite disintegrated on the spot, but left behind a rotating light gate that appeared before everyone's eyes.
Seeing this scene, King Mori laughed out loud.
"Everyone, the secret treasure has been opened, please!"
He gestured for invitation, but the others remained motionless.
This made Mori Ou's smile soften slightly, and he quickly nodded.
"It's a good thing to be cautious. Since no one wants to take the lead, I will do it myself to show my sincerity."
As he spoke, King Mori took the lead and raised his legs, walking towards the light gate.
But before King Mori walked into the light gate, another voice sounded behind him.
"Why not, let me be the leader..."
King Sen looked back and saw that the person who spoke was Zhang Chu, who might be the successor of Qingjue.
And Zhang Chu's strength is not much worse than that of King Mori.
When King Sen saw Zhang Chu come forward, he suddenly realized something.
Then he nodded and said, "The risks inside are unknown. It would be the best if Master Zhang is willing to be the vanguard."
He slightly turned sideways and watched Zhang Chu being the first to enter the Qingjue Hideout.
The next second, a sudden scream suddenly sounded, it was Zhang Chu's voice! King Sen was stunned, pretending to be shocked and rushed into the light gate. The others looked at each other and followed behind King Sen.
A brief trance, like a spatial shift.
When Xia Lin opened his eyes again, he saw Zhang Chu was hanging in the air! The invisible sword energy penetrated Zhang Chu's thirty-six orifices, and the blood flowed in the air and was assimilated by the environment here.
A large amount of array light flashed from all directions.
Grandma Tree looked at the formation pattern and quickly frowned.
"It's a very complicated energy-absorbing array... On the one hand, it's to prevent tomb robbers, and on the other hand, it's also to extract the vitality and energy of those who are hit to provide energy for this secret place!"
Tomb robber is a general term.
You can also call them secret realm hunters.
In short, this profession is not new in the main universe... because no one knows where this quirk came from, some powerful people do like to set up some secret places for those who are destined to explore.
"But this Qingjue secret treasure is quite murderous..."
Grandma Tree looked at Zhang Chu who had become a battery and muttered so.
Just then, a light flashed on Zhang Chu's body and the light of his skill was activated.
The immortal power flowed through his body for a while, dispelling the invisible sword energy and allowing Zhang Chu to break free from the restraints of the formation and fall beside everyone.
The skill light flashed again, and Zhang Chu's injuries had healed, but his face was pale and his breath was not as good as before!
"Half of my cultivation and attributes have been drained away!"
Zhang Chu shouted angrily!
This killing at the door made Zhang Chu depressed! However, despite his anger, Zhang Chu could not blame anyone.
He was the one who took the initiative to take the lead...
Thinking of this, Zhang Chu looked at King Sen.
Mori Wang had a blank expression on his face, but there was a hint of smile in his eyes.
The heir of Qing Jue, apart from the same power system, Zhang Chu has nothing to do with the Qing Jue Sword God! In fact, Zhang Chu's purpose is the most superficial and direct.
He wanted to gain insights into Qing Jue's dual professions so as to bring his own strength to a new level!
But unfortunately, he is greedy and not very smart.
Because Mori Wang only used a small trick to eliminate a big trouble for himself! And this trick is just a simple starting point.
…
Mori Wang undoubtedly has some knowledge of Qingjue's secret treasures.
This first level was also an open-door kill and an energy-absorbing formation, which he knew clearly.
Originally, King Sen was the one who took the lead, and he also had a way to deal with this energy-absorbing formation, but he didn't expect that Zhang Chu, the so-called successor of Qingjue, would actually jump into the pit on his own initiative.
He seemed to think that since King Mori dared to take the lead, this charge might not be risky but beneficial.
Bento naturally took the lead in this.
But not only was he tricked, it also exposed his true nature that he had nothing to do with Qing Jue.
For a moment, Zhang Chu was speechless and could only change his clothes with a grim expression, then looked up and around.
Long before Zhang Chu finished observing the environment, everyone already had a general understanding of where they were.
"Dimensional space, murderous intent at every step."
"This secret hideout is not easy to break into!"
Looking at the brightly lit road leading to an unknown place, everyone looked at each other in bewilderment, while the giant Leviathan spoke out everyone's thoughts.
"Sword God Qing Jue doesn't seem to want his inheritance to fall into the hands of others..."
