Wuchen Island is a sect ranked fifth among the Nine Mansions, and his invitation is difficult for ordinary people to refuse.
“Sorry, not interested.”
Xu Taiping shook his head and walked away directly.
Regarding the matter of forming cliques, it actually started before entering the Xianhu Cave Heaven. The several major sects of the Nine Mansions took a fancy to those young cultivators. With the support of their respective sects, they each wooed the cultivators who entered the Xianhu Cave Heaven this time, thereby strengthening themselves and reducing the resistance on the way ahead.
If it weren’t for having something to do, Xu Taiping wouldn’t mind joining one of them. After all, it saves time and effort.
Mu Rongsong, who was flatly rejected by Xu Taiping, had an ugly expression on his face.
“You boy, you don’t want to drink the toast and instead choose to eat the penalty, right?”
“Forget it, everyone has their own aspirations.”
Mu Rongsong stretched out his hand and stopped several impulsive teenagers behind him.
“It’s just that when the time comes, if you encounter trouble when walking out of here, no one will save you.”
He then said with a hint of threat in his tone.
These words were said to Xu Taiping, and even more so to the crowd who were still watching on the scene.
“Boom boom boom！ ……”
Just at this moment, a burst of thunder suddenly sounded in the sky above.
Then the heaven and earth suddenly darkened, and there was not a trace of light in the whole world.
And in the broken hall behind the crowd, in the already dried-up oil lamp, the lamp suddenly lit up shining the dilapidated statue in the hall is extremely gloomy and terrifying.
In an instant, there was an uproar in front of Fengqi Hall.
Some people even directly opened the teleportation scrolls, wanting to escape from the Immortal Gourd Cave Heaven, but as a result, after opening three scrolls in a row, there was no reaction at all.
For a while, people’s hearts were in a turmoil.
“Don’t panic. Everyone follow me into the hall. When we came, the elders of our Wuchen Island said that no matter what happened occurred in the Immortal Gourd Cave Heaven. the five outermost halls are the safest!
In the midst of the chaos, the voice of Murong Song, the young island master of Wuchen Island, suddenly rang out, Youdaoplaceholder0 the frightened voices of the young cultivators.
Upon hearing this, the originally flustered crowd all gathered towards the broken hall.
Except for Xu Taiping.
Not only did he not approach the Fengqi Hall, but instead, with a hint of terror in his eyes, he took a few steps back.
“Could this be what Sister Lingyue said, in the fragment of the Immortal and Demon Battlefield Continent, every once in a while, there will be a day of demonic energy tide, the Blood Moon Tide.”
While thinking this, Xu Taiping looked up at the sky.
And sure enough, he found that in the dark sky above his head, a blood-red full moon was hanging.
The so-called demonic energy tide refers to the phenomenon that the demonic energy accumulated in the secret realm fragment will be released once every once in a while.
The time can be hundreds of years or thousands of years, or even tens of thousands of years.
And the harm caused by the demonic energy tide, first of all, is to erode the minds of demons and even cultivators, making them go crazy, and secondly, it is to wake up some fierce beasts sleeping underground.
Just like some existences that Fairy Lingyue asked her to pay attention to.
The reason why Xu Taiping stayed away from that broken hall was because under the ground of the Fengqi Hall a wild beast raised by the demons was suppressed.
Not only the Fengqi Hall, but also under the ground of the other halls in the west seat, wild beasts were suppressed.
And the existence of wild beasts cannot be completely eliminated, and can only be suppressed underground.
However, most of the time, the owner of the secret realm can sense the date when the demonic energy tide is about to explode. so generally at that time, the owner or guardian of the secret realm will close the secret realm for a hundred years or so, and only reopen it when the demonic energy subsides.
So the harm caused is not great.
”As the guardian of this secret realm, didn’t the Jade Green Scholar feel the arrival of this Blood Moon Tide？”
Xu Taiping pressed his hand on the handle of the knife and silently retreated behind a collapsed stone pillar in the open space in front of the hall, and at the same time began to suspect the Jade Green Scholar in his heart.
”Why do you not let us in？”
”What right do you have not to let us in？”
”You are retaliating, retaliating because my brother and sister didn’t join you just now！”
At this moment, a hubbub and quarrel suddenly sounded at the entrance of the main hall.
Through the dim lights in the main hall, Xu Taiping only saw a pair of siblings being blocked outside the hall by Murong Song and several others.
Taking a closer look, this pair of siblings were precisely the two who had misunderstood Xu Taiping earlier.
The one who was currently arguing with Murong Song and them was precisely the elder brother who had scolded Xu Taiping earlier.
“Boom！”
Amid the quarrel, a huge palm shadow suddenly slapped out from the entrance of the main hall, directly sending the burly youth flying backwards.
“Zheng！”
The girl beside suddenly pulled out the long knife at her waist. When another palm print slapped towards her elder brother, with a “swish” sound, she chopped at that palm shadow with a single stroke.
To Xu Taiping’s surprise, this seemingly weak girl had an extremely resolute saber intention, and with a single stroke, she chopped the palm shadow to pieces.
And her elder brother also flipped over and got up at this time, likewise pulling out a long knife from his waist and without saying a word, chopping towards the entrance of the main hall.
The brother and sister both launched their long knives, and for a moment, their momentum actually did not lose to Murong Song and the others in the hall.
However, just when the saber momentum of the two was about to overwhelm Murong Song’s palm momentum, I saw that Murong Song suddenly, gently patting a short sword at his waist.
Just listen to the sound of “zheng”, and the short sword at his waist turned into a stream of light in the sound of the sword’s cry and flew towards the brother and sister.
“Bang！”
With just one sword, the sword momentum of the brother and sister collapsed, and their body-protecting true qi was also shattered followed .
Just at this critical moment of life and death, the brother suddenly pushed the girl beside him away regardless of everything, and then with red eyes, he slashed at the flying sword with a knife.
“Click！”
The long knife in his hand almost shattered.
“Boom！”
But just at this time, the girl who was pushed away by her brother suddenly had rune lights shining all over her body, and then with a loud shout, she raised her knife and suddenly slashed at the flying sword.
With a loud “bang” sound, Murong Song’s flying sword was actually slashed away by the girl’s knife.
However, compared to the power of the girl’s knife, what Xu Taiping cared more about was the girl’s posture of drawing the knife – one foot on the ground, both hands raising the knife, and the knife and the body forming a straight line.
This posture of drawing the knife is exactly the same as the Mingchan style of Duan Tianya’s Demon-Slaying Knife.
However, except for the posture, this knife has no similarity to Mingchan in other places. This knife is more like having the shape of Mingchan but not the reality of Mingchan.
“Could this girl come from the Heavenly Saber Sect？”
Xu Taiping guessed secretly in his heart.
