Chapter 276 Prelude
On a certain high mountain in Dongtian,
Gu Hanlin stood on a big tree.
The cool mountain breeze blows,
A bit bleak.
He stood with his hands behind his back, looking into the distance, his brows slightly furrowed, with worry in his eyes.
"Sikong Nan is now occupying the entrance. Even if we spread the news and cause chaos, given his strength, I'm afraid it won't have much effect."
Gu Hanlin couldn't help but be afraid of him, as Sikong Nan's battle record was very prestigious!
Before he was promoted to Grandmaster, he was able to fight back and kill three Grandmasters who were besieging him, and for more than ten years afterwards, he stayed at the peak of the Innate Realm without any breakthrough, all for the purpose of entering this cave paradise.
No one can underestimate such an opponent!
"What should we do? We can't win. Although we have the secret cards that Senior Brother Wang gave us, I think Sikong Nan probably also has cards given by the old ghosts of Xuanling Sect. This game is not going to be easy!"
The person who spoke was a young man standing next to him, with a dogtail grass hanging from the corner of his mouth, looking a little sloppy.
But even though he looked unreliable, if there were outsiders here, they would recognize that this person was Shi Zhengyang, who was ranked second on the Shengji Sect's Inner Sect Dragon and Tiger List! But for some reason, these two people got mixed up together.
"Speaking of which, since Senior Brother Wang of Secret Teachings has chosen you, didn't you have a backup plan before you came in?"
"What plan is there? In this cave, the situation is ever-changing, and everything is just a matter of chance."
Gu Hanlin shook his head.
"Before I came in, Senior Wang asked me to take care of Yang Qingyun, but finding the location of the trial was already a headache for me. Fortunately, I went to see that Yang Qingyun and others formed a team, so the safety is much higher, so I don't have to worry too much."
"Yang Qingyun? I seem to have heard of this person. It seems that he has not been in the Xiantian stage for long?"
"So what? Geniuses have some unexpected strengths. For example, Xie Qingtian, who was born with sword bones, reached the peak of the Xiantian realm in a short period of time and participated in it?"
"Different, different. Hmm? Are you trying to change the subject again? Have you figured out a solution?"
As they chatted, Shi Zhengyang seemed to sense something was wrong.
Where did this topic go?! Let's quickly get back to the topic.
“Ahem.”
Gu Hanlin coughed dryly, seemed a little embarrassed, and straightened his face.
Think for a moment,
He pondered and said, "The only way now is to unite more people and confront him head-on."
"By the way, what about the number one on your sect's inner sect dragon and tiger list? If she hears the news and comes over, can she deal with Sikong Nan?"
“That guy.”
Speaking of Murong Lanying, Shi Zhengyang's face twisted slightly, and he looked a little constipated, and then he said very confidently:
"I can tell you with certainty that when that guy hears about this ancient trial, he will definitely stay away! He will definitely not participate!"
???
Are you serious?
Gu Hanlin looked at Shi Zhengyang, his face full of question marks.
I'm serious! Shi Zhengyang gave Gu Hanlin a serious look in return.
As the second on the Inner Sect’s Dragon and Tiger List, he was well aware of the character of the first place, Murong Lanying, who always felt that someone in the world was trying to harm her!
Gu Hanlin's expression changed slightly.
"Can you find her, then?"
"I can give it a try, but I'm not sure I can."
"No matter what, we must find Murong Lanying. With her, we will have the confidence to deal with Sikong Nan!"
"What if we find her and she's unwilling to help? This is not just speculation, but a very likely scenario. Although that woman is terrifyingly powerful, she'll avoid trouble if she can."
Shi Zhengyang is very serious.
"If we go there rashly, I'm sure that girl will think we are setting a trap for her!"
"That woman is so cautious!"
"If that's the case, we can only reveal a little about the purpose of our trip."
"Target?"
Shi Zhengyang raised his eyebrows and looked at Gu Hanlin.
Although he received instructions from the sect's secret disciple Wang Qianqiu to enter the cave ruins to assist Gu Hanlin in doing some things, the secret disciple Wang did not tell him the specific purpose.
"The purpose of this trip is to obtain a longevity pill from the ancient trial!"
Seeing this, Gu Hanlin had to reveal some inside information.
"A great figure in your sect is about to reach the end of his life span. If he dies, it will definitely bring a huge disaster to your sect!"
"Senior Wang Qianqiu told me about this, but he was not sure whether he could find the longevity pill in the ancient trial he discovered that year. This news cannot be leaked easily, so he did not tell you in a big way."
"This matter is very important to your sect!"
"I think Murong Lanying, who is ranked first on your Inner Sect Dragon and Tiger Ranking, should be willing to help."
Hearing this,
Shi Zhengyang's expression also turned serious.
"If that's the case, I'll do my best to find that guy!"
Although,
At this time, he also had some doubts in his heart. For example, why did Senior Brother Wang, who was a secret disciple, entrust such an important matter to Gu Hanlin, who was an outsider, and why did he trust an outsider so much and entrust everything to him? But no matter what, he could only help to the best of his ability.
Otherwise, if the sect's important matters were really delayed, it would be troublesome.
As the second person on the Dragon and Tiger List,
He knows,
Over the years,
The situation of the sect was not good to begin with.
It can't get any worse.
As the news spread, most of the geniuses who were still alive in the cave had already learned the news.
In a certain wilderness, a few independent martial artists had just killed a gigantic bull monster and were chatting and laughing as they cleaned up the battlefield and collected elixirs not far away.
This matter came up during the conversation.
But it was obvious that these casual cultivators were all self-aware, and their words did not indicate any intention of participating in the vortex.
But at this moment,
A crack suddenly appeared in the void behind the few people, and a cold sword light jumped out from the void and swept across, as if cutting the space in half like a mirror!
Those few independent martial artists had no time to react and were all cut into two pieces by this sword!
The ground was stained with blood. Xu Jian appeared behind them without anyone noticing, his face expressionless.
With a wave of his hand, he quickly grabbed the storage bags on the bodies of those people. After a quick glance, he didn't gain much, but it saved a lot of trouble.
"Ancient Trial?"
Thinking back to the conversation he had overheard, he rolled his eyes. This kind of event would most likely lead to a fight.
And taking advantage of troubled waters is exactly what he is good at!
In a moment,
Dozens of plans flashed through his mind, and a sneer appeared on the corner of his mouth.
How could he be missing in such a melee?
He will definitely be the final winner! However,
Before that, we need to win over a few allies.
Think for a moment,
Xu Jian's figure flashed and disappeared on the spot.
