Chapter 257: Cleaning up the Beast Ridge (Part 7)
"Hehehe, Shangguan Yujian, I didn't expect you to be still alive!
Hey, isn’t this the holy maiden of our Xue family, Xue Tianchi? She is actually alive!
You two are such a perfect match! ”
In the sky, a virtual valley emerged, with demonic energy rolling. A figure stood there. No arms could be seen in his sleeves, but his hands were expanding and contracting in the wind.
"There are so many things you haven't thought of! After all these years, you still haven't given up. Do you really think that the Xue family still has your spies now?"
Shangguan Yujian sneered and asked confidently.
"oh?"
The former narrowed his eyes, smiled and asked back: "How do you know there is none?"
Shangguan Yujian didn't want to argue with him here, so he stretched out his sword finger, and countless invisible sword energies were born around him, hovering under his neck.
"Do you believe it or not, if I make one move, your life will be in danger?
Don't believe it?
very good!
It's so rare to find someone as bold as you nowadays! ”
The former spoke without hesitation and waved his hand. The black figure's pupils shrank, and countless array patterns lit up on his cloak. In an instant, his body flashed hundreds of times in the sky.
At the same time, he swung out countless iron fists with his hands, the sounds of tiger roars and dragon roars continued, and the shock magic fists kept on hitting out to compete with the sword energy that was rushing in, and soon a lot of space was freed up around his body.
"Magic Wave!"
The former had fierce eyes, and with seals made with his hands, he opened a bloody mouth in front of him. Rays of light were released from it, gushing out like sound waves, covering the people below.
All those who were attacked by the sound waves felt their heads swell up, and then fell to the ground in pain.
There were bloodshot in their eyes and black flames rose from their bodies, burning their spiritual will.
"ah!--"
"My head, ouch, it hurts so much! Fire! Black fire!... It hurts, it hurts so much, ouch..."
“Hoo! Hoo…”
For a moment, everyone below was shocked and suffered the pain of being burned by the flames. Some water and ice spells fell from the sky, but they only alleviated everyone's pain and were useless against the black flames.
Shangguan Yujian took out an ice-blue sword, injected a trace of Xuanyuan sword spirit into it, and then inserted it into the ground.
In an instant, two phoenix shadows flew out, circled the former's arm twice, and then rushed into the sky, spreading their wings and crying. Suddenly, dark clouds covered the sky and snow and frost fell from the sky.
Every piece of snow and frost seemed to have a natural restraining power against the black flames. As the wind and snow grew stronger, the black flames on the ground quickly dissipated.
In addition, Shangguan Yujian's eyes were fixed on the black shadow, who waved his sleeves and countless flying knives and flying needles gushed out from the virtual valley behind him, and he took the opportunity to escape into the virtual valley.
"Don't even think about escaping!"
Shangguan Yujian roared, then whispered, "Eleven, follow me! Chi'er, take care of others!"
A ray of golden light and a ray of black light flew into the empty valley side by side, and wherever they went, everything was destroyed by the sword energy.
With golden light flashing, Shangguan Yujian arrived at the depths of Xu Valley. He did not see a single person along the way. There were only countless rare and exotic animals and bloody air, as if he was in another world.
Deep inside was a building that looked like a courtyard house. He tapped his toes lightly, swung his sword, and broke through the protective formation outside.
At that moment, a pair of clear and bright eyes opened in the courtyard.
Shangguan Yujian waited outside for a while until he heard a message, then he walked in vigilantly.
“Crunch, crunch…”
The moment he entered here, the door suddenly closed. Then, he felt that all the spiritual energy around him disappeared completely, and the strength in his body was also weakened. It was not disappearing, but more like being sealed.
Shangguan Yujian was shocked and immediately realized that the kidnapped child might be here!
He walked in with full alertness, not daring to relax for a moment. This place, except for the lack of spiritual power and the blood-red sky, everything else seemed normal.
So, what about the person who disappeared before?
Shangguan Yujian looked at the houses around him and could not sense any aura: his strength had been greatly weakened, to only 20% or 30% left.
Just as he was hesitating whether to go directly into the central hall, the door suddenly opened by itself with a creak!
"You are a guest from afar, please come in!"
A smart voice sounded, and the former was startled. He looked inside, but it was pitch black. After hesitating for a moment, he walked in vigilantly.
Crossing the black curtain, you will see an area of mountains. Each mountain is thousands of meters high, and on the top of each mountain is a temple.
The sound of bells echoed continuously between heaven and earth.
In the middle part of this area, there is a grand yet simple ancient temple. After Shangguan Yujian came in, a plain robe flew out and was "worn" on his body.
In fact, it was just an outer robe draped over his body, and at the same time, the smoke of incense gathered into a bridge, floating out from there and ending at his feet.
"please!"
A calm voice sounded, and Shangguan Yujian's eyebrows flashed with worry. Here...
Could this be that guy’s lair?
How can this person, who is unfamiliar with the place, just go in?
Or, should we wait for information from our junior brother?
Just as the former was hesitating, a figure suddenly appeared at the door of the ancient temple. Looking in the direction of the bridge of incense, his eyes suddenly lit up, and he quickly waved and greeted:
"Brother! Brother, I'm here!"
Hearing the familiar voice, Shangguan Yujian looked over quickly and saw the heartless look of his junior brother, who was also wearing plain clothes and looked exactly like him.
But how come I don’t know when he came in?
The former's confusion was written all over his face.
Seeing this, Xiao Shiyi had no choice but to stand up and fly onto the bridge. He came in the smoke and landed beside Shangguan Yujian, putting a hand on his shoulder:
"Don't worry, Brother, it's really me, Xiao Eleven!
I entered here before you, and discovered something very interesting: the flow of time here is different from that in the outside world!
I don't know what affects the time here, causing it to speed up and slow down.
A few minutes can sometimes turn into a few hours, and sometimes into a few seconds!
This is the first time I have seen such a magical world.
However, preliminary judgment is that it is most likely caused by the disorder or collapse of the law of time. The specific cause needs further exploration... hehe! ”
Seeing the man in front of him breathing heavily after speaking, Shangguan Yujian raised his eyebrows slightly.
He then asked a few questions, all of which were questions only they knew. Seeing that he could recite them fluently, the former finally felt relieved and followed him along the bridge of incense into the ancient temple.
Standing at the gate of the ancient temple, Xiao Eleven showed no strange expression and walked straight in, as if it was supposed to be so.
But when Shangguan Yujian walked down from the bridge, two young monks suddenly came out from the door.
They first stretched out their hands to block the former's way, then circled around him, as if to confirm something, and then let him in without worry.
After entering the temple and seeing no one around, Shangguan Yujian asked in a low voice:
"Junior brother, when you came here before, did you meet the two young monks at the door?"
Hearing this, Xiao Eleven was surprised:
"Two little novice monks? Brother, are you seeing things? I didn't meet any novice monks when I came in⊙_⊙"
The former shook his head with certainty:
"No, when I came in just now, two young monks did stop me. It seemed... they were confirming something before letting me in."
Hearing this, Xiao Eleven frowned, and suddenly realized:
"Oh, so you paused for about a minute just now because two little monks appeared?
I thought you wanted to take a closer look at the patterns on the gate of this ancient temple. I was wondering, what was so good about it? …
But this is strange, why is there a novice monk whom you can see but I cannot? ”
Shangguan Yujian also shook his head in confusion and became secretly alert in his heart.
From the outside, this ancient temple looks grand and simple, but after entering, I found that it was full of red flowers, which swayed without wind.
The interior is just a small space with just a small temple, and looking around, there are only three houses.
This scene made Shangguan Yujian pale in astonishment.
The reason is that the layout of these three houses is almost exactly the same as that of the courtyard house outside!
Except for the house in the same row as the gate, which has become a wall, the other houses, buildings and plants are very similar.
There was a golden light flashing in his eyes.
There are still many minor details in the courtyard that seem to have been changed, but in fact they are just covered up by some traces.
If my guess is correct, the inner space of this ancient temple is most likely the main body of the courtyard outside!
