In the majestic cave in Donglai County, a man with a broad forehead and a broad face pushed open the door and entered, bowed to the old man sitting cross-legged inside and said, "Greetings to the master."

"Sit down!"

"Thank you, Master." The man obeyed and took his seat.

"What's the news from you?"

"Disciple has received the exact news that the Liu family has indeed broken up with the personnel sent by Jiang Chang. Moreover, after the two sides broke up, the Liu family's senior officials immediately held a meeting. It is estimated that there may be a big deal.

action."

"Where is Jiang Xinquan? As the head of the Jiang family in Donglai County, he must be very busy at this time! Is there any news about him?"

"As far as we know, Jiang Chang and Jiang Yunming have sent people to contact him privately. His attitude is still unclear and very ambiguous."

"Keep an eye on it, this period of time is critical."

"Disciple understands."

At this time, footsteps sounded outside, the stone door was pushed open, and a man bowed and saluted: "Headmaster, Liu Miao is here and is waiting outside to see you."

"I understand, let him wait in the meeting hall!"

"Yes." The man responded and left.

………

In the solemn meeting hall, a middle-aged man sat down. It was Liu Miao, the housekeeper of the Liu family. Seeing the old man coming in from the outside, he quickly stood up and bowed his head: "Junior pays homage to Master Peng and takes the liberty to disturb senior Qingxiu."

, I hope you’ll forgive me.”

"No need to be polite, please sit down."

After the two exchanged pleasantries, the guests and the host took their seats.

"Young Daoist Liu came here today, you must have something important to do?"

"To be honest, I came here on the order of the head of the family." Liu Miao turned out an envelope in his hand: "This is a handwritten letter that the head of the family ordered me to give to my senior. Please see it."

The old man took the letter, opened it and read it for a while. Then he patted it with both hands and burned the letter to ashes: "What do you mean by Fellow Daoist Liu, is your house planning to take refuge with Jiang Yunming?"

Liu Miao said: "No, our government will stand on its own and will no longer be commanded and manipulated by anyone. Of course, if this leads to Jiang Chang's invasion, then we don't mind cooperating with Jiang Yunming to fight against Jiang Chang, but this will never happen."

You must not take refuge in Jiang Yunming."

"The head of the family knows that Guizong has been dissatisfied with Taixuanzong for a long time. In the past, Guizong almost broke up with them over the payment of taxes. Please forgive me for speaking frankly. If Guizong could have been tougher at that time, Taixuanzong would also

I don’t dare to take anything against your ancestor, but it’s a pity that your ancestor actually gave in in the end, and the younger generation feels pity for the elders.”

"Nowadays, the situation in Qingzhou has gradually become clearer. It is common to all Taixuanzong that he is powerful at the outside and powerful at the middle. At this time, it should be that he seeks the noble sect, but he is like a master, still aloof and giving orders."

"As the saying goes, one mountain cannot accommodate two tigers. How can there be two talkers in Xuanmen's home in Donglai County?"

"If your sect can join forces with our government, Donglai County can be decided by our two families. For your sect, it will also be a golden opportunity to make a comeback. How difficult is it for your sect to be willing to be controlled and trampled by Taixuanzong for the rest of his life?"

The old man's expression remained unchanged: "I have learned of your wishes. If you have nothing else to do, please come back, Brother Liu Dao!"

"Headmaster Peng, the head of the family hopes to get an answer from you. What do you think?"

"The words that just came out of your mouth and into my ears have been blown away by the wind at this moment. Just pretend that nothing happened. Friends Dao Liu, please!"

Liu Miao stood up and said: "Junior understands, what Master Peng means is that your sect will neither cooperate with us nor Jiang Chang. Can I understand this?"

"Of course, this is your internal matter and has nothing to do with our sect."

"If, I mean if, Taixuanzong wants to intervene, after all, they and Jiang Chang have reached an alliance agreement, can Guizong guarantee his middle position?"

"There is no guarantee. If your government is not fully prepared and has the courage to fight against everyone, I kindly advise you to continue to cooperate with Jiang Chang honestly!"

"Junior, take your leave." Liu Miao turned around and strode away.

…

Day after day, time passes unconsciously.

It could have been a few days, a few years, or a hundred years before the flesh and blood on Tangning's body that had been dissolved by the golden liquid gradually grew back.

After a long time, he slowly opened his eyes, only to feel a huge pain in his head. There were layers of phantoms floating in front of his eyes, and there seemed to be a huge force between his eyelids. He closed his eyes and fell asleep.

When he woke up again, his body was no longer as tired as before. After resting for a while, he got up with difficulty, took out the elixir and swallowed it.

Just when he was about to refine the spiritual power of the elixir, he suddenly discovered that a ball of golden liquid appeared for no reason in the Linghai Cave in his body, wrapped in green spiritual power, just like a baby in its mother's womb.

In addition, his spiritual power unexpectedly skyrocketed for no reason, and he had reached the stage of perfection in the middle stage of Nascent Soul.

This moment shocked him greatly.

What's going on.

Tangning was stunned for a moment.

Could it be? Is it the golden liquid that rushed in earlier? But he clearly remembered that when the golden liquid touched his body, it quickly dissolved the flesh and blood on his body.

How could it be absorbed instead?

And what’s going on with the increase in spiritual power within the body?

Tang Ning was surprised, but now was not the time to think about this. He held his nerve, put aside these thoughts, and concentrated on absorbing the spiritual power of the elixir.

It was not until the spiritual power in his body was restored that he opened his eyes and stood up to carefully observe the surrounding environment.

Different from the previous place, there is no gray fog here, the field of vision is very wide and clear, and the spiritual consciousness is not blocked. The land is red, a bit like the color dyed red by blood.

The surroundings were completely silent. Tang Ning's consciousness was far away and she didn't notice any signs of life. It was like a forgotten wilderness.

The most conspicuous thing is a huge withered skeleton on the left side. The skeleton of this corpse is astonishingly large. What is even more surprising is that the color of its bones is actually golden.

Tangning looked at the huge golden skeleton in front of her in stunned silence, her heart was shaken, and she had a very absurd and bold speculation in her mind.

This withered skeleton might have been a sacred beast of Xuanwu in its previous life.

He has read corresponding records in history books. There are thousands of kinds of monsters in the world, but only the blood and bones of holy beasts such as true dragons, phoenixes, and basalts are golden.

Moreover, judging from the shape and appearance of the corpse, it is not much different from the Xuanwu described in the book.

Its huge corpse is lying on the ground, looking like a turtle and snake. Isn't the high bulge of bones on its body the shape of a turtle's back?

Tangning stood there blankly, her mind going blank. It was simply unbelievable that there was a Xuanwu corpse in front of her.

He really couldn't believe it, but the situation in front of him forced him to think about it.

If you put it this way, the golden liquid is most likely the blood of the Xuanwu in front of you.

He actually has Xuanwu blood and dragon blood? This is too shocking.

Compared to this, the surge in spiritual power is not surprising at all.

He was dazed for a long time, and finally suppressed these inexplicable thoughts and stopped thinking about these fantastic things.

The most important thing now is to figure out where this place is and how to get out of it.

He raised his eyes and saw that the blue sky and white clouds above his head were still there, but there was no shadow of the sun.

His body rose into the air and flew along the huge corpse. He walked for two full days and found nothing at all.

The land under his feet was as red as blood, and the sky was blue and white clouds above his head. In the past two days, he had traveled at least tens of thousands of miles, not to mention the shadow of people, even flowers, plants, trees, snakes, insects, rats, ants and other animals and plants.

Never seen it.

This place seems to be a completely deserted and barbaric place with no life, and there is no spiritual energy between heaven and earth. Not only that, there is no distinction between day and night, and there are no sun, moon, stars and other things.

Various signs indicate that he may have entered a space between interfaces somewhere, similar to a secret realm.

The secret realm is actually a space passage connecting other worlds. It is a space crack that is independent of the interface between Tianyuan Continent and the monster, and it connects the two interfaces.

If this is the case, it would be troublesome. First of all, not every space crack is so stable. Some space cracks are randomly generated and may collapse at any time.

If this space suddenly collapsed, I would be doomed.

Secondly, if you want to leave an independent spatial rift, you need someone to connect to the external passage. Just like a locked room, someone needs to use a key to open the connected door before you can leave.

Of course, it is not impossible to score a goal with force, but there are two prerequisites. First, it requires strong enough support. With Tang Ning's practice, she obviously does not have this strength.

Second, you need to know the location of the door, otherwise even if you break the room, you will not be able to return to the interface connected to it, but will disappear into the lonely and empty world.

Thinking about it now, the knife swung by the evil spirit at the red stone gate beneath the reservoir was most likely to tear apart space and open up another dimension, which is why he appeared here.
