Zhongzhou, Yunlan City.

Yunlan City is located east of Moyun Mountain and is a medium-sized city. In the past, although this city was prosperous, it could not be compared with those real large cities. However, recently, Yunlan City has rarely presented a prosperous scene.

The reason for this is that it is very close to the ruins of Qiankun Palace. As the time for the ruins of Qiankun Palace to reappear on earth approaches, some monks who want to try their luck have come here from afar.

Yunlan City mainly gathers monks from Dongzhou and Beizhou, and some world-famous sects have also sent their geniuses to gather here. Among them, the more famous ones are Taixuan Holy Land, Jiuyin Holy Land, Longhua Temple, Yunjian Pavilion in Dongzhou, and Tiangang Sword Sect, Chongyang Sword Sect, Ziqing Holy Land and Xuanlei Sect in Beizhou. Except for Yunjian Pavilion, these sects have thousands or even tens of thousands of years of history, and are truly giants.

There are many variables in the path of cultivation. You must know that there are fifty great ways, forty-nine of which are derived from nature, and one of which is escaped by humans. Many geniuses and evildoers have experienced fighting in the mortal world, some of whom are famous and some of whom are forgotten by the crowd. The power of the sects has also experienced ups and downs in the changes of history, and they have risen and fallen. The sects that have been able to withstand the test of history and continue to this day all have a strong foundation.

In Dongzhou, Longhua Temple is the strongest, while in Beizhou, Tiangang Sword Sect is the best. Below Tiangang Sword Sect are Chongyang Sword Sect and Ziqing Holy Land, and Xuanlei Sect ranks fourth.

In these four major sects, several famous geniuses once emerged. For example, Wind Emperor Ji Wuya of Tiangang Sword Sect, Fire God Liejun of Chongyang Sword Sect, Water Fairy Mo Wei of Ziqing Holy Land, and Thunder Emperor Fan Zhongqian of Xuanlei Sect. However, although the deeds of these characters are still circulating, they have long passed away. It is rumored that Thunder Emperor Fan Zhongqian died at the hands of Wind Emperor Ji Wuya, and Wind Emperor Ji Wuya and Water Fairy Mo Wei died in Lihuotian, and Fire God Liejun is nowhere to be found.

From this we can see that no matter how charismatic a genius is, it is difficult to avoid the fate of falling midway.

Every generation has its own talented people, and each generation replaces the old. With the changes of the times, the strong men of the past have retired one after another, and new geniuses have emerged. Today, the four major sects of Tiangang, Chongyang, and Ziqing each have their own geniuses who have become well-known figures. These four people are: Lin Chao of the Tiangang Sword Sect, Yang Hao of the Chongyang Sword Sect, Liang Wei of the Ziqing Holy Land, and Gong Shengtian of the Xuanlei Sect.

However, when mentioning these four geniuses, they are always inevitably linked with some other names.

For example, Lin Chao of Tiangang Sword Sect, who is rumored to be only in his thirties this year, has become the leader of the younger generation of Tiangang Sword Sect. But what's interesting is that just last year, Lin Chao was defeated by another unknown disciple in the sect. Although that disciple later colluded with the evil ways and revolted from the sect, his reputation as a genius was still discounted.

For example, Yang Hao of Chongyang Sword Sect is the only son of Yang Shaoling, the previous generation of Chongyang Sword Sect. Speaking of Yang Shaoling, many people will think of Lin Fengtian and Xiao Ruoyao. Because Yang Shaoling was once one of Xiao Ruoyao's suitors, and once had a grudge with Lin Fengtian because of this.

In order to solve the problem once and for all, Xiao Ruoyao and Yang Shaoling made an appointment to fight on the Broken Dragon Terrace. She defeated 17 masters of the Chongyang Sword Sect alone, including Yang Shaoling. At this point, Yang Shaoling completely gave up the idea of ​​pursuing Xiao Ruoyao.

Now Xiao Ruoyao and Lin Fengtian are both strong men in the Crossing Tribulation Realm, while Yang Shaoling is still hovering in the Great Purity Realm. Although considering his age, this level of cultivation is worthy of his title of a genius. But compared with Lin Fengtian and Xiao Ruoyao, he is still a step behind.

Another example is Liang Wei from Ziqing Holy Land. He was originally only the second person in Ziqing Holy Land. Just a year ago, Tang Fei, the former Saint of Ziqing Holy Land, was plotted against by Chongyang Sword Sect and Xuanlei Sword Sect, and his cultivation level dropped sharply, which allowed Liang Wei to take over. But even if he replaced Tang Fei, Liang Wei's reputation is still far less than Tang Fei. After all, Tang Fei was once considered a peerless genius who dominated his generation. Although Liang Wei is also a genius, he is far inferior to Tang Fei.

Originally, when Qiankun Palace appeared, the number one genius in the super sect would not participate. But this time, Liang Wei from Ziqing Holy Land appeared in Yunlan City. But his target this time was not only Qiankun Palace, but also Tang Fei.

First of all, Liang Wei is slightly inferior to the other three geniuses in terms of strength and qualifications. According to rumors, Qiankun Palace has a secret method that can change the qualifications of cultivators. In order to live up to the reputation, Liang Wei is determined to get this secret method.

Secondly, Tang Fei's reputation made Liang Wei feel uneasy. Even though Tang Fei's reputation and status were far less than before, it was torture for Liang Wei as long as he was alive. As long as Tang Fei was alive, he felt uneasy. In order to deal with this lifelong enemy in his mind, he specially brought Tang Fei along in this expedition to the secret realm of Qiankun Palace.

He wants Tang Fei to stay in Qiankun Palace forever!

——————————

At this time, Liang Wei was holding a cup of tea, sitting by the window on the third floor of the largest restaurant in Yunlan City, staring out the window in a daze.

At this time, a disciple stepped forward and said to Liang Wei respectfully: "Senior Brother Shengzi, Tang Fei has already left the city."

Liang Wei nodded and said calmly: "Before leaving the city, where did he go? Who did he talk to?"

The disciple thought for a moment and said, "Tang Fei first went to Xuanhu Hall, and then to Linglong Pavilion. Before leaving the city, he went back to the inn and spoke a few words to Junior Sister Mu Qianqian. There was nothing else."

Liang Wei sneered, "This Tang Fei, why would he go to Xuanhu Hall and Linglong Pavilion when he has nothing to do? Does he want to buy something or sell something?"

"This..." the disciple hesitated, "After all, Tang Fei has been a saint for more than ten years, so he must have some stock on hand..."

Liang Wei glanced at him and said coldly: "Slap your face."

The disciple was stunned, not understanding what bad luck he had caused this Saint Son Senior Brother. But he didn't dare to ask, so he could only slap himself obediently. In order to avoid Liang Wei finding fault, he was afraid that he didn't use enough force, and the slapping sound was loud. After just a few slaps, his cheeks were already red and swollen, and a trace of blood flowed from the corner of his mouth.

After about an incense stick of time, Liang Wei said calmly, "Okay."

Upon hearing this, the disciple finally breathed a sigh of relief and stopped what he was doing.

Liang Wei asked in a calm tone: "Do you know why I asked you to slap me?"

"This..." The disciple hesitated for a moment, not knowing what to say. Liang Wei said coldly: "Some things, I will only say once. From now on, don't associate the name 'Tang Fei' with the word 'Son of God', understand?"

The disciple nodded quickly: "I understand! I understand!"

Liang Wei's plan was to completely separate the name "Tang Fei" from the word "Son of the Holy Son". When others talked about the Son of the Holy Son of Purple Purity, they would only think of him, Liang Wei!

Liang Wei put down his teacup and said thoughtfully, "Although Tang Fei is a useless man, he is still useful. I still need him to scout the way for me on the trip to Qiankun Palace. But before that, I don't want anything unexpected to happen. Send someone to follow him. If he tries to escape, bring him back to me immediately!"

The disciple couldn't help but think: Even if they left the city, it still doesn't count as "an act of fleeing"? What exactly is the standard?

But facing this moody new Son of God, he didn't dare to ask this question at all. He could only nod yes and retreat.

After the disciple left, Liang Wei sat for a while before standing up and walking towards the guest rooms upstairs.

Not long after, he walked to a door, knocked on it, and said, "Junior Sister Murong, please come out. I have something to discuss with you."

After a while, the door opened and a beautiful girl appeared in front of Liang Wei. The girl had a blank expression on her face and a frosty temperament. She glanced at Liang Wei calmly and asked, "I wonder what Senior Brother Shengzi wants to see you about?"

This girl is the Purple Purity Saint Murong Pianpian.

Liang Wei smiled and said, "Junior Sister Murong, in a few days, the Qiankun Palace will be revealed. After all, the Qiankun Palace is one of the ten forbidden areas, and it is full of dangers. For safety reasons, Senior Brother must discuss it carefully with Junior Sister before entering."

Murong Pianpian said calmly, "What is there to discuss? Could it be that Senior Brother Shengzi has some foolproof method?"

"There is no perfect method, but I do have some ideas for dealing with unexpected situations. If Junior Sister Murong doesn't mind, please come over and talk."

Murong Pianpian pondered for a moment, then nodded and said, "In that case, Junior Sister will listen attentively."

At the same time, in the mountains outside the city, a young man was walking quickly on the forest path.

The young man looked no more than 20 years old, with a handsome face, but he seemed a little weak, and he had to stop and rest for a while after walking for a while. He was already sweating and panting after walking for a short distance.

After walking for a while, the exhausted young man had to stop again. He found a big rock and sat down. He took out his water bag and drank a few gulps of water, then took out a piece of brown paper from his arms.

After he looked for a while, a hint of worry appeared on his face. He raised his head and looked forward, muttering, "It will take more than 20 miles to get there. I'm afraid we'll have to walk until dark!"

After resting for a while, the young man felt that his strength had recovered, so he stood up and headed towards his destination again. But after walking a few steps, he stopped and shouted, "Who is it?!"

After a moment of silence, the young man saw a boy in black clothes walking out of the dense forest. The boy looked young, but the aura he exuded was really terrifying. The young man only sensed it a little and knew that the other party's realm was about to enter the Hedao realm. His face suddenly changed, and there was a hint of vigilance in his expression.

The boy had a blank expression on his face, and this blank expression was different from that of other people. Other people's expressions usually only revealed indifference, but this boy had a faint sense of world-weariness.

Before the young man could speak, the young man asked calmly, "Ziqing Holy Land, Tang Fei?"

The young man frowned and asked cautiously, "I am Tang Fei, who are you?"

The young man said calmly: "Shura Dao, Liu Shou."
