Looking around, Chen Yuan cupped his hands towards the direction of Qingzhou City and said in a loud voice:

"Thank you, Lord!"

Although Chen Yuan did not sense Jiang He's aura, he understood that Jiang He was definitely present. It was precisely because of Jiang He's presence that Chen Yuan dared to be confident against a powerhouse on the Wind and Cloud Rankings.

The Sect Master of a dignified top sect was neither arrogant nor humble.

All of this was the confidence that Jiang He gave him.

However, he also understood that now was not a good time to fall out with the other party. All he could rely on now was Jiang He, but he did not want to place all his hopes on Jiang He.

He would deal with the Qingyun Sword Sect himself!

Only in this way could he resolve the hatred in his heart.

Starting from Gu Hao, the two sides had accumulated several grudges, and these grudges would eventually have to be washed away with blood. Otherwise, would they really think that he, Chen, had no temper?

The void was very calm, with no response.

Chen Yuan took a deep breath and continued to fly towards Yunzhou.

Inside the Sky Patrol Hall of Qingzhou City.

Jiang He was dressed in white, with a Go board in front of him. He held a white piece in his hand, slowly placed it down with a 'snap', instantly revitalizing the entire situation.

......

......

Yunzhou, Mount Mengze.

After many days, Chen Yuan finally arrived at his destination. Along the way, except for a brief period of rapid travel near Qingzhou City, he had slowed down for most of the time.

Most of his time was spent on cultivation.

Changing his appearance and hiding his name, no one knew that his true identity was Chen Yuan, the Demon Blade, who had a considerable reputation in the Jianghu.

It is worth mentioning that on his way to Yunzhou, the disputes over the Hidden Dragon Rankings in the Jianghu became increasingly intense. A small portion of the original members had already been squeezed out of the Hidden Dragon Rankings.

Among them was Ouyang Zhi, and Han Yu was also about to be squeezed out of the top fifty.

One could imagine how fierce the competition was.

Almost every day, new news was constantly coming out of the Dengxian Tower, earning them a fortune.

The popularity of the once-famous Hidden Dragon Four Extremes had also begun to slowly decline.

When Chen Yuan arrived at Mount Mengze, it was exactly July 15th, only one day away from the July 16th node indicated by the Destiny Altar, basically arriving on time.

It must be said that there were indeed many people gathered here.

Perhaps some people really believed that the legendary secret realm was about to open, but most of the people gathered here had low cultivation levels. The vast majority were Ninggang martial artists, with very few Tongxuan martial artists.

As for Danjing Grandmasters, there were none.

But thinking about it carefully, this seemed very normal. There were not many Danjing Grandmasters in the first place. Although they could not be said to be as rare as phoenix feathers and unicorn horns, there were only a few dozen in a state.

And there were many Tongxuan martial artists, especially Ninggang martial artists.

Even in small counties, there could be many of them. These martial artists with this level of cultivation did not have so many concerns. Once they heard that there might be a secret realm opening here,

They would basically come and take a look.

At worst, it would just be a waste of some time.

But if they really stumbled upon some good luck and encountered the opening of a secret realm, then it would definitely be a celestial opportunity.

There were many such rumors in the Jianghu.

They all said that a secret realm opened in a certain place, and a mountain village boy accidentally strayed into it, then obtained the inheritance of a senior, roamed the Jianghu, and his cultivation progressed by leaps and bounds,

With countless beautiful wives and concubines...

It was precisely because of such rumors that so many people flocked here.

Feeling the Yuan Qi between heaven and earth, Chen Yuan surveyed the mountain cave. No wonder some people were convinced that there was a secret realm here. The Yuan Qi here was indeed a bit unstable, as Ye Chenbai had said.

It was somewhat similar to the scene he had encountered when the Yuan Kong Realm opened before.

Harboring some thoughts, Chen Yuan casually asked a few questions and learned the location of the Fallen Immortal Terrace. Then, he soared away into the sky.

The so-called Fallen Immortal Terrace was just an open space in Mount Mengze. It was as smooth as a mirror, like a scene that had been cut off by a sword, hence the name Fallen Immortal Terrace.

If you were to say that the scenery was beautiful, this place was not bad.

But there were not many people here. Those martial artists who dreamed of obtaining opportunities were carefully searching within Mount Mengze. Sometimes, even a random stone blocking the road would be picked up and repeatedly examined.

They would never have thought that right under everyone's noses, there might be real opportunities.

Finding a corner and sitting down cross-legged, Chen Yuan, like some of the martial artists in the mountain, cultivated in the mountain, constantly absorbing the Yuan Qi wandering between heaven and earth.

The Tai Xuan Sutra circulated, and he was like a vortex in the center, with the surrounding Yuan Qi of heaven and earth rapidly surging towards him.

It was better to arrive early than late. Chen Yuan decided to rest for a day and wait quietly for the secret realm to open tomorrow.

Time passed slowly, and in the blink of an eye, a night had passed.

Chen Yuan did not move all night, looking like a stone statue from afar.

At the first light of dawn, the people around him caused a commotion. It turned out that someone had discovered a mausoleum of a Grandmaster from hundreds of years ago, and immediately launched a life-and-death struggle.

More and more people gathered. Originally, there were a few scattered people on the Fallen Immortal Terrace besides Chen Yuan, but after the news spread, they all left.

Only Chen Yuan remained.

However, this just happened to suit his wishes.

But before he could show a hint of joy, several uninvited guests surged from the left front. These people were dressed in monks' robes, with bright bald heads, definitely from the Buddhist sect.

And Chen Yuan happened to dislike most of the people from the Buddhist sect, and could not help but frown slightly.

There were a total of four monks, among whom the one in the core was a white-robed monk, with bright eyes and clear teeth, bright eyes, nine ordination scars on the top of his head, and a faint Buddhist charm surrounding his body.

One hand held a string of Buddhist beads, and the other hand held a slightly rotating compass, similar to a compass.

The four landed, and Chen Yuan's gaze slowly swept over the few people, eventually converging on the white-robed monk, and his face could not help but show a hint of solemnity.

On him, he felt a faint aura of danger.

This... was rare.

"This benefactor, this place is not suitable for a long stay." One of the monks stared at Chen Yuan, frowned slightly, put his hands together, and said, seemingly wanting to persuade Chen Yuan to leave this place.

"Not suitable for a long stay, what are you doing here?" Chen Yuan indifferently swept him a glance.

A flash of anger flashed between the monk's eyebrows, but it soon disappeared, and he said in a deep voice:

"There are Grandmaster ruins appearing in Mount Mengze. If the benefactor is here for this matter, you might as well go and compete for it. As for this place, it is indeed not suitable for a long stay. We, the monks of Lingshan, are going to hold a Dharma assembly here."

The monk moved out Lingshan without showing any signs, trying to force Chen Yuan back.

If it were an ordinary person, they might really retreat. After all, Lingshan was one of the top ten immortal sects in the world, with powerful forces, and even monks were in the position of the national teacher of the dynasty.

It could almost be regarded as the pinnacle of the top ten immortal sects.

But Chen Yuan did not. He looked at the monk in front of him and said:

"The monks of Lingshan, what great prestige."

"What does the benefactor mean by this?"

Hearing Chen Yuan's somewhat impolite tone, the monk couldn't help but take a step forward, and his Tongxuan cultivation immediately rose, but just as he was about to get angry, he was directly suppressed by a white hand.

It was the white-robed monk who Chen Yuan had just been staring at. He patted the shoulder of the monk in front of him to signal him to step back, and faced Chen Yuan with a calm expression, putting his hands together and asking:

"Is Your Excellency the Demon Blade?"

As soon as these words came out, the monks behind the white-robed monk were immediately startled, and then focused their attention on Chen Yuan.

"Xuan Ming."

Chen Yuan looked at the white-robed monk, although it was a question, he was extremely certain.

In fact, it was not difficult to guess correctly. The one who could make him feel a trace of danger was still a monk of Lingshan, and it seemed that there was no one else besides Xuan Ming.

"It is precisely the poor monk."

The white-robed monk nodded in admission, his tone calm.

"Mm."

Chen Yuan responded and stopped talking.

Xuan Ming frowned slightly and continued:

"Benefactor Chen, what Junior Brother Xuan Ku said is not wrong, this place is not suitable for a long stay. I hope Benefactor Chen leaves as soon as possible, so as not to be affected in the end."

Hearing these words, Chen Yuan smiled. From the moment the other party said the words asking him to leave, he knew that the other party should have come for the secret realm.

Still saying it's not suitable to stay for long, these monks are really high-sounding.

"It doesn't matter, Chen is just curious to see what kind of impact I will be affected by?" Chen Yuan looked directly at Xuan Ming and the others and said:

"It's better for you eminent monks to leave as soon as possible. Chen is skilled in face reading and can tell that if you continue to stay here, you will definitely have a bloody disaster."

There was nothing wrong with these words. If these people had the same purpose as him and blocked his path, Chen Yuan would not care about Lingshan or not. These people would have to die here.

"Is Benefactor Chen threatening the poor monk?" Xuan Ming looked at the other party, his eyes without any fluctuations.

"Just think of it that way."

Silence.

In the eyes of the two facing each other, it seemed as if some light was shining, and a murderous aura was flowing.

Xuan Ming looked at the mountain cave and frowned. This time, he left Lingshan because of the guidance of a senior monk. That senior monk used a Buddhist treasure to peek into the secrets of heaven,

Saying that there was an opportunity for him in Mount Mengze.

After deduction, it was very likely that it was the relic left by the Huayang Real Person more than a hundred years ago.

For this reason, he specially borrowed a treasure. After patrolling the entire Mount Mengze, he deduced that this place had the greatest chance of being the secret realm left by the Huayang Real Person.

But what he didn't expect was that Chen Yuan, the Demon Blade known for his ferocity in the Jianghu, was also here.

This made him feel a little heavy in his heart.

According to the secrets of heaven that the senior monk peeped into, this opportunity was very important to him. If he missed it, it would even have some impact on his path to enlightenment.

Of course, this was just one person's opinion, and he didn't completely believe it.

He even doubted this Huayang Real Person, thinking that he might have guessed wrong.

That person was not an eminent monk of the Buddhist sect, how could he possibly leave behind Buddhist treasures?

But no matter what, he had to go in and take a look, and the most important thing was to drive Chen Yuan away from this place.

He couldn't let him ruin his plans.

Chen Yuan's aura slowly rose, looking at the other party, a flash of fighting spirit flashed in his heart. According to the judgment of the Dengxian Tower, he was going to lose to Xuan Ming, Wei Wuyai and others.

But he didn't think so himself.

Martial artists cultivate, they should move forward bravely, fearless.

Only oneself is the strongest.

Without an invincible heart, how can one reach the top of martial arts?

If it was a battle, he would have no fear. The only pity was that the other party didn't have the luck he wanted, and it seemed that they could only simply decide the outcome.

Just as the two were thinking in their hearts, a faint voice resounded through the void:

"I didn't expect that two of the Hidden Dragon Four Extremes would come to this place, it seems... there must be a secret here."

This was a clear female voice. After the voice fell, more than a dozen graceful figures descended from the sky.

The woman in the lead wore a light veil on her face, a plain white long dress, and her long hair was tied up with a phoenix hairpin. She was graceful and seemed like a fairy walking out of a painting.

And the more than a dozen graceful figures behind the woman also had their own unique appearances. Looking from a distance, they really looked like they were competing for beauty.

Chen Yuan looked around, his gaze suddenly fixed, and stopped on a graceful figure. It was none other than Shen Yanshu, who he had not seen for nearly a hundred years.

At the moment his gaze stopped, Shen Yanshu's eyes also lit up, as if she had seen a lover she hadn't seen for a long time, and couldn't help but whisper: "Brother Chen."

Shen Yanshu's address immediately alarmed the senior sisters around her, including the white-clothed woman in the lead.

"Junior Sister Shen, you..."

"Junior Sister Shen..."

Several senior sisters beside her asked with concern, and focused their attention on Chen Yuan, looking at each other, as if they were guessing what was the relationship between the Demon Blade Chen Yuan and Junior Sister Shen.

"Miss Shen."

Chen Yuan smiled and nodded slightly.

Shen Yanshu quickly blinked a few times, signaling Chen Yuan not to say anything more, and to speak after this matter was over. After entering the Goddess Palace, she realized how strict the rules here were.

One cannot have any involvement with men, otherwise one will be punished by the palace rules.

She herself was fine, but she didn't want Chen Yuan to be affected by this. After all, the Goddess Palace was one of the top ten immortal sects in the world. Although it had declined slightly in recent years, it was still something to look up to.

And Brother Chen had indeed created a reputation for himself since he separated from her, but compared to the Goddess Palace, he was still like an ant trying to shake a tree.

"Senior Sister Yu, Brother Chen is an old acquaintance of Junior Sister from my early years." Shen Yanshu looked at Yu Qingyan in front of her and explained.

Yu Qingyan frowned slightly, and took a deep look at this junior sister who had always been different from ordinary disciples. Although she had not experienced human affairs, she was not a fool,

How could she be deceived?

Everyone could feel the affection contained in that 'Brother Chen' just now.

But she didn't say much, because Shen Yanshu was the last female disciple accepted by her master, who had told her before to take care of Shen Yanshu.

That's why she often brought Shen Yanshu out of the palace.

Turning her gaze back, Yu Qingyan looked at Chen Yuan and Xuan Ming and said:

"I am Yu Qingyan, I have met the two fellow daoists."

Xuan Ming frowned and put his hands together:

"I have met Benefactor Yu."

"Miss Yu."

Chen Yuan withdrew his gaze from Shen Yanshu, took a deep look at her, and also understood in his heart that either Su Ziyue was a member of the Goddess Palace,

Or, other powerhouses of the Dao God Palace were in the Goddess Palace.

Without a strong relationship, it would probably not be enough to arrange for a female disciple to enter.

Because this was not an ordinary arrangement, since the Dao God Palace knew his potential, it would definitely take good care of the women around him.

"The two fellow daoists are not going to compete for the Grandmaster's inheritance, but are staying here, I wonder what for?" Yu Qingyan's pleasant voice sounded in the ears of the two.

But neither Chen Yuan nor Xuan Ming's eyes changed.

Xuan Ming was still so calm, and said in a low voice:

"Benefactor Chen, Benefactor Yu, this place is not suitable for a long stay. I hope the two of you leave quickly. The poor monk cultivates Buddhism and does not want to use weapons."

Yu Qingyan said softly:

"This is Yunzhou, not the Western Region Buddhist sect. If someone should leave, it should be Master Xuan Ming. As for using weapons, hehe... the Goddess Palace never fears any threats."

Her aura slowly circulated, and she had also reached the peak of Tongxuan, and her aura was even stronger than Chen Yuan's good brother Shangguan Yu.

She knew in her heart that the Hidden Dragon Ranking, especially the top ten, was not necessarily accurate at all times.

"Does Benefactor Chen also think so?"

Xuan Ming's gaze had always been very solemn when facing Chen Yuan.

Naturally, it was not the reputation of the Hidden Dragon Four Extremes, but he had also sensed a very dangerous aura on Chen Yuan, and knew that he was a formidable opponent.

Otherwise, he would not have wasted so much nonsense at all.

He would have directly asked the junior brother who was following him to drive him away.

Only strength can make people respected.

"Chen advises you all to leave, otherwise, I will say it again, someone's blood will be spilled on the Fallen Immortal Terrace today!" Chen Yuan was not only targeting Xuan Ming, but also the group from the Goddess Palace.

He had a relationship with Shen Yanshu, but he had no relationship with Yu Qingyan and the others.

For the sake of Su Ziyue, as long as they didn't block his path, he wouldn't take the initiative to attack, but if the other party didn't know what was good for them, then he could only pretend not to know and kill them mercilessly.

Whoever blocks his path is his enemy.

And enemies do not distinguish between men and women under his blade!

Relatively speaking, Chen Yuan's Huangtu Blade is truly equal for men and women!

Yu Qingyan frowned and snorted softly:

"Everyone says that the Demon Blade is arrogant and ferocious, I have finally seen it today."

"Benefactor Chen is determined to do so?"

"Do I need to say it a third time?"

Xuan Ming smiled and said:

"There is no need for a third time. Since Benefactor Chen has already made his choice, then the poor monk can only ask Benefactor Chen for some guidance. If the poor monk wins, I hope Benefactor Chen will leave."

"What if Chen wins?"

"The poor monk will leave."

"No need, Chen will send you off for another journey, to the Western Paradise!" Although the other party had always maintained a polite demeanor, everyone could sense that these monks from Lingshan had a condescending feeling.

It was as if what they said must be carried out by others, otherwise it would be against Buddhist law.

And for such people, he never indulged them.

Xuan Ming was not angry, his eyes were still calm, and he nodded:

"Benefactor Chen, please."

In an instant, a roar suddenly sounded from within Xuan Ming's body.

The sound of tigers and leopards thundering.

Blood Qi like a dragon!

The other party had always been known throughout the world for his powerful body.

"Please!"

Chen Yuan's Blood Qi surged, and a terrifying roar shook and sounded.

Without exception, they all ignored Yu Qingyan. Even though she had some strength and could even rank in the top ten of the Hidden Dragon Ranking, neither Xuan Ming nor Chen Yuan sensed a dangerous aura from her.

This also meant that they were not opponents of the same level at all!
