Star Trace Gate

Chapter 751 Entering Yanggu and Ascending Xianlan

Over the endless years, Yanggu County has lost its former prosperity and splendor. Only gusts of cold wind blow through the ruins of dilapidated ancient buildings, and dust fills the sky, making it desolate and desolate.

This place has long been evolved into a secret realm by the Heavenly Dao. As soon as you step into the county, you will see thick gray fog. Even if a fourth-grade supernatural being comes here, he can only see the scenery a few steps away.

Moreover, if this secret realm is to be opened, one must successfully find the remnant soul guarding the county after midnight to trigger the secret realm mechanism. Therefore, Ren Ye's escape to this place was obviously carefully planned, and it was also the best solution selected from many 2-4 level secret realms.

Entering here, he doesn't have to worry for the time being that he will accidentally trigger the secret realm mechanism and thus get caught up in the mission and be waited for by the group of pursuers outside.

In addition, this place is a fourth-grade secret realm. If the group of geniuses outside come in to attack, Ren will draw his sword to fight; and if the group of immortal sect masters and elders shamelessly want to bully the weak, they will be downgraded after entering this place and suppressed by the way of heaven. At most, they can only exert super-grade combat power...

When facing the super-class, even if Ren Ye cannot kill them, he can still skin them alive.

"Whoosh!"

In the gray fog, Ren Ye flew quickly with his clothes in disarray, passing through the ruins of buildings.

Soon, he arrived at the center of the desolate ancient county and hid on the second floor of a relatively well-preserved ancient inn.

After the death of the emperor, Yanggu County fell into decline for unknown reasons. According to rumors, no one had been here for nearly two hundred years, so most of the buildings were as fragile as tofu, and the smell of decay was everywhere.

Ren also raised his hand to activate the star source, perfunctorily dispelling the dust on the ground, and then sat down cross-legged.

After entering into meditation, he immediately did three things.

He first secretly summoned two corpse puppets without any star source fluctuations, and controlled them to ambush around the inn. Then, he ordered the child laborer Shenwa to hide his breath and hide at the entrance of the deserted county to observe secretly.

Finally, he secretly activated the Purple Luck to conceal his own aura and hide the entire second floor of the inn, turning it into a hidden blind spot.

After everything was ready, he slowly took out a green porcelain bottle, lay on his back and drank a big sip of the sticky water of life.

This water of life was obtained by Lao Liu after he traveled to the Daytime Star. It is an "advanced version" of the original water of life. It can not only heal physical injuries and grow flesh on bones, but also slowly restore the power of the star source.

As soon as the treasure returned to Qingliang Mansion, it was sold to Master Chu Dao and Yin Hu at a sky-high price. They thought there was only one bottle of this thing, so they felt that they had picked up a great bargain. But little did they know that as long as Lao Liu held the Stone of Life, he could rely on the accumulation of time to slowly obtain the Water of Life.

This is the core gift of his innate inheritance, which outsiders cannot envy.

Of course, he treated Chu Daoye and Yinhu as if they were Japanese devils, and Ren Ye never "approved" of it.

After taking a sip of the water of life, Ren Ye's physical fatigue was immediately dispelled a lot, and even his spiritual perception became clearer.

But for some reason, he always felt that the "Jiekong Stone" temporarily placed in the Phoenix Fire Furnace was emitting a strange aura fluctuation, which was getting stronger and more out of control.

He raised his hand and the Phoenix Fire Furnace flew up from his waist and tilted suddenly.

"brush!"

The top cover of the stove flew away by itself, and Xu Bangzi's figure fell down instantly.

Ren also felt that as soon as the lid of the furnace was opened, the vibrating void energy emitted by the boundary stone became stronger, and faintly echoed with the blood-stained character "Emperor" on his forehead.

What the hell is going on?!

Little King Huai certainly did not have the time to study this treasure at the moment, so he immediately activated the Purple Luck to temporarily wrap and suppress the Boundary Stone.

As the purple luck flowed, the Jiekong Stone became quiet again.

Not far away, Xu Bangzi, who looked extremely embarrassed, looked around with a dazed look, and muttered unintelligently: "Where is this... the underworld? Are we dead?"

"...Fuck you, I'm here to kill you." Ren Ye stretched out his hand and threw the porcelain bottle of water of life over.

"You fought your way out? You fought your way out during the Xiliang Tianjiao Festival?!" Xu Bangzi was blocked from seeing and hearing by the Phoenix Fire Furnace, so he naturally had no idea what was happening outside. He widened his eyes and asked in disbelief, "Are you sure you didn't come out on your knees?"

Damn it, it’s so difficult to show off in front of the people in the park team.

Ren also rolled his eyes: "Remember this, in this little world, I am the only one who can bully you. If they dare to hang you on the city gate, it is destined that today will be stained with blood."

"Gudong...!"

Xu Bangzi drank two sips of the water of life, then immediately sat cross-legged, using the power of the star source to catalyze the water of life. He gritted his teeth and said, "Damn it, I will not be a human being if I don't avenge this!"

"One thing, where are the others?" Ren Ye immediately asked with a serious expression: "You were clearly walking alone, so why were you surrounded and killed by the Xiliang royal family? How did your whereabouts get exposed?"

While Xu Bangzi was recovering, he replied softly, "After we separated from you at the border of Xianlan Five Cities, we followed the plan and rushed to Four Seasons Village in Xiliang. We wanted to find Mingquan's friend and hide there temporarily until you came to join us."

"I didn't expect that we might be targeted as soon as we entered Xizhou. The Xianlan Sect and the Xiliang Royal Family are in cahoots with each other and secretly offered a sky-high price of 5 million star sources, forcing the common people and Xiliang's independent practitioners to report any suspicious outsiders they see. We were kept in the dark about this and had no idea about it."

"We are not far from Four Seasons Village after reaching Lianghe Township. However, we are all very tired after traveling for several days, so we chose a remote inn to rest. Besides, Master Chu has the magical power to change his aura and appearance. We thought it would be no problem to hide for only one day and wait for fellow Taoist Mingquan to come and greet us."

"But unexpectedly, the news still leaked out. Although the woman from Mingquan had her appearance changed, she...didn't know how to hide her accent, so we were reported by the innkeeper."

"Alas, this cannot be blamed on Mingquan's wife. They were implicated by us in the first place. Moreover... she is a country woman with little experience and little thinking."

"However, the princess was the first to discover the abnormality, and also noticed that something was wrong with the innkeeper, so we changed our appearance and aura again, preparing to hide in Lianghe Township, blend in with the people, pass through, and then sneak away."

"But we never expected that the Xiliang royal family and the Xianlan Sect were so ruthless and cruel that they were far beyond our imagination."

Xu Bangzi narrated in a steady tone.

"How cruel?" Ren Ye asked coldly.

"After the group of high-ranking officials from Xiliang and Chu Jin from Xianlan Sect arrived, they did not find us right away. However, they concluded that we definitely did not have time to go far, so they suspected that we used some special disguise method. Then they began to kill people indiscriminately... no matter if they were old, weak, sick, disabled, women or children, they killed anyone they saw in order to force us to show up."

"...!"

After Ren Ye heard this, veins popped up on his forehead: "Is this the method used by the Immortal Sect? It really is 'the great way is ruthless'!"

"We have no choice but to fight to the death. However, Xiliang sent out a fifth-grade warrior and dozens of fourth-grade warriors, while Xianlan Sect also sent a fifth-grade warrior. Chu Jin's fighting power... is indeed worthy of being called a genius. He has an ancient bell magic weapon, which is suspected to be a treasure. The power of his magical power is unparalleled. We are carrying women and children, so we cannot fight him, so we can only break through."

"Yin Hu used a drop of Earthly Branch Blood from Hou Tu, and after reaching the highest level of sublimation, he teamed up with the princess to fight his way out of the encirclement, protecting Ming Quan's family and leaving first. But Master Chu Dao and I, as well as Chun Niang's family, were trapped in the shadow of the big bell. In desperation, Master Chu Dao used a forbidden method that he had never used before, and was able to temporarily enter the fifth rank... He fought desperately with the fifth rank of the Xiliang royal family, and defeated a corner of the shadow of the big bell, allowing us to escape."

"After escaping, we scattered and fled with the mentality that whoever could escape was the best. Master Chu took Chunniang and the sisters Furong to the south; and although Xiao Xingwu had not yet attained enlightenment, his physical strength was quite good, so I asked him to run to the mountains and forests to hide his aura, and eventually he disappeared. But the enemy was chasing too closely, and I was not a person with extraordinary talent. Even if I fought to the death, I could not escape. In the end, when we were protecting the little one, we were all captured alive..."

Ren Ye was very surprised after hearing this and said, "The little guy from the Xing family was also arrested?!"

"Yes. He should have been taken back to the sect by the Xianlan Sect's people." Xu Bangzi nodded slightly: "The fifth-rank immortal master of the Xianlan Sect said that I am enough as bait for fishing, and Xiaobutian and his men are going to take it back. This matter was originally led by the Xianlan Sect, so the people of Xiliang didn't say anything."

"...!"

Ren never expected that it was not only Xu Bangzi who was arrested, but also the little guy from the Xing family.

Damn it, those bastards from the Xianlan Sect really used all means to get the chance to become the emperor!

But what made him feel a little relieved was that according to Xu Bangzi's description, the others should have escaped. Otherwise, the people from Xianlan Sect and Xiliang would never use only Xu Bangzi as bait, but would add more bait to ensure that they could show up at today's event.

Moreover, the people from the Xianlan Sect and Xiliang probably had not expected that the encirclement and killing that should have been easy would suddenly be interrupted by the appearance of three unexpected events: Yinhu, Master Chu, and the beloved concubine.

Master Chu Dao was originally a fourth-rank master, and his origins were very mysterious. The secret method he inherited was also completely different from that of ordinary supernatural powers. He must have some shocking secrets hidden in him, and even the Little Bad King couldn't tell how deep he was.

This person, who becomes stronger when facing a stronger opponent, has an unknown combat capability. He is the most mysterious person around Ren Ye. However, his forbidden techniques of the three lives seem to have many limitations.

As for Yinhu, there is no need to mention him. He is one of the twelve earthly branches, and he has a lot of treasures and many hidden cards. He even killed three descendants of Jiutou Xiangliu with one sword. If he sublimates with all his strength and fights with Ren Ye at the same level, it is still unknown who will win.

There is no need to mention the beloved concubine, because she is the "daughter-in-law" that Lin Xiang has always tacitly accepted. Moreover, Lin Xiang and Zhao Baicheng have said that in this world, there are only two kinds of "immortal things" that can evolve all things. One is the creation immortal energy in the legendary creation immortal cauldron of Nuwa, and the other is the yin and yang energy.

Therefore, my beloved concubine can only show her true brilliance when her own inherited fairy mountain opens.

It’s a pity that she had already reached the third level of great perfection, but she had never waited for the opportunity for the fairy mountain to open.

These three people were the most special in the team, and naturally possessed the ability to fight against opponents of higher ranks. This was something that the Xiliang Royal Family and Xianlan Sect could never have imagined beforehand.

The little one was taken away by the Xianlan Sect, and his life should not be in danger at the moment. Because the other party's intention of imprisoning a child is very obvious, it is nothing more than using it to threaten Ren at a critical moment, which is similar to Xu Bangzi's role.

It was no secret that Ren Ye came to Chaolong City to return the relics for Brother Hong. Many people in the City Lord's Mansion and Daze Township knew about it, which showed that he had a close relationship with Brother Hong's family. In addition, he had previously blocked the enlightenment for Xiaobudian, and later he did not hesitate to use himself as a bargaining chip to exchange for everyone's safe departure at the border...

All these actions show that he values ​​this mortal family very much, which is why the Xianlan Sect acts in this way.
