Yongshan, located to the west of Longcheng, is an isolated mountain that blocks the ancient road to the west, leaving only a gap.

This mountain is very high and is shrouded in clouds and mist all year round.

When the sun rises and sets, it creates a spectacular scene. It has always been a holy place where literati like to hang out and recite poems. Therefore, there were many inns and taverns on this mountain road.

It's just that the transportation of wine and food is difficult, so the price is expensive. There are not many guests. The war in the northwest has blocked trade routes, so the place has gradually declined. Today, only one "Wangfeng Inn" is still operating.

"Sister Yu, have you really seen the Tiger Destroyer?"

Early in the morning, there were two beautiful shadows on the roof of the inn.

Sitting cross-legged against the wind, with a straight back and full of heroic spirit, it was Yu Lingyan, a disciple of the Sword Sect who had met Chen Yuan once in Lushou Mountain.

The other one, wearing a red dress, with a peach-shaped face and slit eyes, was asking curiously.

This girl's name is Xie Junshang, she is the true disciple of Lingnan Jiuruting, the third authentic sect of Xuanmen. This time she came to Taihua Mountain with her elders to observe the ceremony. When she heard that Gu Cangqiong was going to challenge the Mountain Destroyer King, she also followed her.

"I have met that Fellow Daoist Chen. At that time, I returned from the Western Regions and went to Taihua Mountain. In order to hurry up, I accidentally entered the Lushou Mountain and got involved in the conspiracy of the mountain god. I fought side by side with Fellow Daoist Chen."

"Wow! Then you are the one who experienced it!" Xie Junshang became excited, "What kind of person is he? Is he as powerful as the rumors say?"

"At that time, he used his quick hands to defeat the mountain god before he could use Shinto magic," Yu Lingyan recalled the scene at that time. "Then he used other methods to suppress the god, which is indeed extraordinary."

"That's right, it depends on skills." Xie Junshang looked disappointed, "I thought I could watch a fight between dragons and tigers."

"Young Daoist Chen showed a power beyond the ninth level of Qi and blood at that time!" Yu Lingyan said sternly: "And he was skillful in fighting, like an elite soldier in a hundred battles. I once invited him to come to the Sword Sect as a guest, but he refused."

Xie Junshang's eyes lit up: "Dare you refuse the position of guest minister of the Sword Sect? You should have something to rely on, right?"

"It's like he has been living in seclusion for a long time and suddenly came out of the mountain. He doesn't understand many things. Otherwise, the divine court would not have issued a wanted notice without any scruples." Yu Lingyan shook his head and then said curiously: "Don't you look forward to Brother Gu very much?

Victory?"

"Only a strong enough stepping stone can make Brother Gu famous all over the world after reaching the world in one step." Xie Junshang said, changing the topic, "By the way, the surname of Destroy the Mountain King is Chen, what is the connection with the Jingyang Chen family."

"It is rumored that he once impersonated Chen Shiji, the eldest son of Marquis Jingyang..." Yu Lingyan was talking when he suddenly saw a group of people coming up the mountain road, "Zeng Liancheng is here again."

"Just put it here."

Zeng Liancheng led a group of people over, carrying large and small boxes.

"Liancheng, what are you doing?" Qu Zhiyong, the elder of Huangliang Dao Nanzong, walked out of the inn.

Zeng Liancheng smiled and said: "I have raised some things for you comrades to use."

"You have the intention." Qu Zhiyong laughed, "But you have to be careful. I have set up a sword formation here to prevent Xiaoxiao. Don't touch it by mistake."

"Don't worry, elder, I know it well." Zeng Liancheng nodded, "Speaking of which, do we need manpower here? Why not ask my father to send some soldiers to protect it."

"There is no need for this," Qu Zhi said with a smile while stroking his beard: "There are thirty-six disciples here this time, who can form the Tiangang Great Dream Formation to protect the mountain road. There is only one road in this mountain, so it can be guaranteed to be foolproof."

"That's good, by the way, I'm here to recommend someone to the elders." Zeng Liancheng said, stepping aside halfway, and a young man came up to salute.

"I have met Elder Qu and junior Zhao Li."

Qu Zhiyong narrowed his eyes: "Zhao Li? Are you from the Zhao family in Longcheng? Aren't your Zhao family close to Lord Destroyer?"

"My father, Zhao Jing, is now called Jing Yuanzi," Zhao Li said calmly, "He also received a message from Lord Zhi of Shenting."

"I see."

Zeng Liancheng smiled and said: "Brother Zhao and I are also family friends. He has a lot of information about the Tiger Destroyer, and he is planning to tell it to Brother Gu."

"Good thing, good thing." Qu Zhiyong nodded with a smile.

Zhao Li asked: "I heard that there is a great master coming with me this time, I don't know..."

"Brother Sun is delayed because of something. He will be here in two days." Qu Zhiyong restrained his smile, "But even without him holding the battle, wouldn't the sky be able to capture a tiger-destroying king?"

"That's what the elder said." Zeng Liancheng said quickly, "Where is Brother Gu?"

Qu Zhiyong pointed to the top of the mountain.

On the top of the mountain, a man stands alone, facing the rising sun, with a faint light covering him, like a god.

Sudden!

He raised his hand, and the sword light soared into the sky, breaking through the clouds and mist in the mountains!

Zeng Liancheng and Zhao Li, who had just arrived, were dazzled by the sight.

“It’s really amazing!”

The man turned around and looked at Zeng Liancheng, "You are here just in time. Help me deliver a letter of war to Lord Chushan. In two days, at midnight, I will go to his house to fight."

Zeng Liancheng came back to his senses and said: "The Mountain Destroyer Lord has set up a large formation in the mansion. If you go there rashly..."

But the man said: "It's better this way. It breaks the great formation he painstakingly set up, breaks his Taoist heart, and sharpens my sword intention. This is the time when it boils."

"What a spirit!" Zeng Liancheng felt excited after hearing this. After returning, he wrote a letter of war and asked Zhao Li to hand it over to Chen Yuan. He also told him: "Brother Gu's challenge to Destroy the Tiger cannot be hidden, but

It is best not to spread the specific date to avoid causing unnecessary complications, after all, Grandmaster Sun has not arrived yet."

"I understand." Zhao Li agreed, but after he returned he hid it, hoping to confuse the situation.

"Although my father has a plan, I also have an opinion. If at a critical moment, Gu Cangqiong and another great master suddenly attack, the situation is chaotic, and Zhao Jie and his son are deeply bound to Deishanjun, they will be implicated. Only my department will be affected.

There is a possibility of rising to the top."

Buzz!

Amidst the buzzing sound, the golden bowl flashing with golden light spun in the air, and golden dragon shadows emerged from it!

The golden dragon turned and fell to the ground, corroding a large patch of grass. White smoke rose up, exuding a fishy and sweet smell.

Chen Yuan waved his hand and called back the golden bowl.

"This poisonous bowl has been reforged with the power of the divine way, and the sound, light and shadow effects have been greatly improved. There are also a few incomplete Qiu Qi in the three-headed and six-armed Heiyan statue, which can be used just in time. However, the bowl is still refined with poison, but the grade has been improved.

It's a little bit bigger, and it can barely be called a low-grade magic weapon."

Putting the poison bowl into his bag, he waved his hand again, and a brush flew towards him.

Different from the original dilapidated and ancient appearance, the appearance of this pen has been greatly changed. There are three rows of small talismans arranged on the pen barrel, glowing with a faint golden light.

"The statue of the big-headed Hu god actually has the ability to enter dreams. After combined with this ritual, it can confuse people with one stroke, induce psychedelics with two strokes, and sneak into dreams with three strokes! It can be called the 'dream pen'."

After playing with it for a while, Chen Yuan put the dream pen into his sleeve and looked at the furnace again.

The fire in the furnace was burning brightly, and there was a strange golden halo mixed with it, indicating that it was under the influence of divine power.

"I have to take some time to refine the mustard seed bag again. There are too many things and the space is not enough. But I have to ask the Zhao family to help get some related materials."

There was a sudden noise outside, interrupting his train of thought.

"We really have no other intentions. We came from Jincheng to pay homage to General Zhenwu."

Outside the courtyard, the two dusty people were stopped by the Zhao family's servants. The courtyard door was difficult to approach, so they could only raise their heads and shout.

Chen Yuan's voice came slowly from inside——

"Are you from Jincheng?"

"Yes! Yes!" When the two heard this voice, their eyes lit up, and they rushed to the door and cupped their hands: "Everyone in Jincheng appreciates the general's kindness and looks forward to his return every day!"

"Go back." Chen Yuan spoke calmly, "I received a gift from the city, but I also solved the city's disaster. My fate with Jincheng is over, and there is no need to look for me again in the future."

"General!" The two Jincheng envoys suddenly became anxious. Before they could say anything more, a gust of wind blew out of the courtyard and swept the two of them up. The world was spinning for a while. When they came to their senses, they were already outside the city.

.

"This is?"

The two looked at each other in shock.

One said with emotion: "General Zhenwu is a true immortal! It's a pity that his old man really doesn't want to go back. It's because of my poor fortune in Jincheng! It's a blessing from heaven to be favored by his old man for a while, alas."

The other one also sighed repeatedly and said: "That being said, it is best to wait a few more days to see if there is any improvement."

In the next two days, news of the arrival of Huangliang Dao disciples spread in the city, and there was also talk of challenging the Mountain Destroyer, but there was not much movement, and all parties were waiting and watching.

The Zhao brothers also told Chen Yuan this news when they visited, but the latter didn't take it to heart very much.

On the afternoon of the second day, brothers Zhao Fengji and Zhao Fengxiang came to visit again, but with them was Zhao Li.

He came here this time because he was in a hurry to get a feel for the situation and understand the reality in the hospital.

"I have met my senior. Junior Zhao Li is also a disciple of the Zhao family. This time we came together to ask for advice. I have always respected my senior very much."

But he didn't expect that as soon as he finished speaking, Chen Yuan shook his head.

"If you don't tell the truth, the malice in your heart is almost overflowing. How can you hide it from me?"

Zhao Li's expression changed suddenly, and he was waiting to say more, but a figure flashed in front of him, and Chen Yuan was already in front of him!

Zhao Li was startled and instinctively raised his palms to block him!

"Zhao Li! What are you doing!"

The expressions of the Zhao Fengji brothers also changed.

Before the two of them finished speaking, Zhao Li was caught by Chen Yuan. With a shake, all the joints in his body were shaken off, and he lost the ability to resist.

"I have no interest in the quarrels between the wealthy clans, but if it involves me, it can't be brushed off in one or two sentences."
