Patriarch Nine returned soon after he left.
As soon as he saw Tie Lang, he took out an ancient secret manual and handed it over to him. He said in a low voice, "This < Seven Ultimate Skill Seal > secret manual was obtained by me when I was a young man wandering around a secret location. As for the specific level of the battle skill, I am not sure. With your current strength, you should be able to practice and perform the first set of seal techniques. In return for your gift to the Flame Pearl, I'll give it to you today! In addition, this Soul Nurturing Pill was the fourth elder's kind intentions. It could be said to be an extremely rare treasure, and it had a miraculous effect on raising one's spiritual sense and nurturing one's soul. You keep it too! "The Fourth Elder also asked me to pass a message: If you need any help in the future, feel free to say it. He, and of course, include me. He will definitely help with everything he can and will not refuse!"
"Good!" The two Elders were the first to accept this favor! "But right now, I really have something I want to ask of the Ninth Elder. My senior brother Niu Li …"
"No problem!" If he wants, I can take him as an honorary disciple, but if he doesn't want to, I have no choice but to accept him as my honorary disciple. Of course there wouldn't be any problem staying in the sect! Rest assured. " After pondering for a moment, the ninth elder said in a low voice, "Tie Lang, do you know that Ying Xue is my direct disciple? I watched her grow up. She was a very good girl. "I can see that she's interested in you …"
"…" Iron Wolf.
"..."
Four days passed in the blink of an eye.
Tie Lang and the other four followed the Eighth Elder and set off for the Black Mortal crevice.
The Black Forest was located about 200 miles northwest of Jincheng City. It was close to the Black Wood Stronghold, the largest gang in Jincheng City. It was about two days' journey away from the Nine Dragons Gate. It was a dangerous place in Jin City. Originally, there were only a few powerful demonic beasts roosting inside, so very few people dared to enter.
In the past twenty to thirty years, the Black Forest had undergone some unknown changes. Normally, it was completely filled with poisonous miasma, and anyone who accidentally entered it would undoubtedly die. In order to ensure the safety of one side, the City Lord's Mansion had stationed eight hundred elite guards around the clock at the only entrance to the Black Forest Creek. No one was allowed to enter.
Many demonic beasts and even spirit beasts had undergone changes outside the Black Forest. Once the poison spread outside the ravine, it would bring a great disaster to the citizens of Jincheng City.
There was, of course, a real element in that. The demonic beasts in the Black Forest had indeed undergone a change. No matter what demonic beast it was, they all turned pitch-black in color.
Of course, the truth was that the various sects were in control of the truth. There was actually an ancient formation restriction hidden in the Black Sen Crevice. Moreover, these formation restrictions were extremely dangerous. If one was not careful, even a Spirit Martial Disciple would perish here. However, once they passed through the barrier, they wouldn't be able to suppress any terrifying existences inside. Instead, they would be able to comprehend the great opportunities inside!
All the major powers were keeping this a secret, but even they didn't know when the array formation in the black stream would be passed down. Who set it up? Why is it here?
All this is a mystery to be solved...
Every five years, thick black fog would rise up from the Black Mortal Ravine, and completely cover it. The miasma in the Black Forest would disappear as well.
The black cloud itself was an extremely powerful restriction. Once it was activated, a High Rank Spiritual Martial Force Warrior or higher would be repelled by the formation and would be unable to enter. The higher the cultivation, the more repelled they would be from it.
This situation would continue for about half a month before gradually dispersing. It was at this time that the young disciples of the Jincheng City's five big sects and the Mayor's mansion participated in the adventure.
The group from the Nine Dragons Sect had arrived relatively early. The guard commander at the entrance of the Mulan Pass naturally recognized the Nine Dragons Gate's emblem, and after inspecting the special entrance token, he let them in.
The gathering place was a relatively open area in front of the Black Forest's entrance. Only the members of the Clear Wind Sect, the Tigerfang Gang, the Green Cloud Sect, the Black Wood Stronghold, and the City Lord's Mansion had yet to arrive.
The Eighth Elder and the leader of the Cool Breeze Sect were naturally quite familiar with each other. They greeted each other briefly and then went to their respective places to rest, waiting for the arrival of the other teams.
After all, they were all competitors, and the disciples of each team didn't look too good towards each other.
Tie Lang raised his eyes and looked at the black fog that completely shrouded the Black Forest. He could not find any clues. The black cloud was as thick as a liquid, continuously surging, but it did not spill out of the stream. The soul-shaking roars of demon beasts could be heard from time to time from the depths of the mountain stream. At the same time, Iron Wolf also acutely sensed a nameless, dangerous aura coming from the stream. This aura gave him a sense of unease, as if there was something in the Black Forest that was inextricably linked to him, causing his heart to race. He quickly sat down cross-legged at the side, calmed his aura, and took advantage of the last bit of time he had to cultivate the Profound Qi Refining Art.
During this period of time, although his Qi cultivation time was not long, but he had reached the peak of the level six Genuine Force. He was only a thread away from reaching the advanced stage of the Genuine Force.
This could be considered an unexpected surprise! When Iron Wolf cultivated the < Divine Alchemy Chapter > to open up his meridians, he was actually also able to rapidly increase the level of Qi Cultivating Stage! This was something that he had only discovered when he was trying to open up the meridians in his feet.
Before coming here, in Nine Dragons Sect, Tie Lang had seriously studied the cultivation paper left behind by the Ninth Elder, and had gained a lot. According to the written method, after unremitting efforts and experimentation, Tie Lang had mastered the preliminary skill of combining physical strength with zhenqi. This made his attack power double compared to before!
To Tie Lang, what he lacked the most right now was cultivation time. Not only did he need to cultivate his mental cultivation method, but he also needed to increase his current level of Qi cultivation, and he also needed to practice the body tempering secret technique, the 'Diamond Force Law'. In addition, he would also need to use the 'Meridian Forging God Scripture' to open up his meridians if he had a longer time to control it!
Every single practice was extremely important to Tie Lang, as it could enhance his combat ability! If he was given enough time, he was absolutely confident that he would be able to surpass all of the youths present here!
About half an hour later, the Tigerfang Gang's troops also arrived.
Leading the group was a rough man about forty-seven or forty-eight years old. He had a round black face, a round leopard head, and a messy tiger beard. His upper body was bare, and his muscles were bulging.
Then he turned to the Eighth Elder and laughed, "Elder Yan Fei, I heard that your Nine Dragons Sect has an external helper this time. What's his name? "Not only did he injure my Tiger Fang Gang's disciple, he also killed the Qin family's Young Master Qin Ke. I wonder which one of them it is?"
"What?" The leader of the Qing Feng Sect and the other disciples looked in the direction of the Nine Dragons Sect with a surprised expression on their faces. Although Qin Guan was one of the last twelve prodigies in Jincheng, he was still quite powerful! Many of the youths present were not as strong as Qin Ke. They could not help but be moved by the news!
"Humph!" Zhang Fei, your nose is really sharp. You actually found out about this. That's right, Tie Lang did represent Nine Dragons Sect to participate in this adventure. That's because our Great Elder highly recommends it. As for the matter of injuring your disciple from the Tiger Fang Gang and killing Qin Ke, it was done by him personally, but it has nothing to do with our Nine Dragons Sect. "
"Hahaha …" "Luckily, he still went to participate in the Life and Death Trials and destroyed the bridge before even crossing the river. I'm sure only you, Yan Fei, can do this, right?" Zhang Fei laughed out loud.
"Humph!" Yan Fei coldly snorted, no longer speaking with him.
However, Zhang Fei abruptly turned around and revealed a tall and sturdy youth. He looked somewhat similar to the black yak, except that he was shorter by half a head. With his tiger-like eyes wide open, he swept a glance at the four youths in Nine Dragons Gate and asked, "Who is Iron Wolf? "Get the hell out here!"
"Do you want to die?" Tie Lang suddenly opened his eyes and looked at the person who spoke, and shouted angrily.
"You are Tie Lang? Humph! Cang Yu and the rest, were they injured by you? "
Who is Cang Yu? I don't know. However, I have indeed injured seven or eight biting mad dogs in Jincheng City. I wonder if there is anything about Cang Yu among these mad dogs? " Tie Lang answered coldly.
Upon hearing this, Shangguan Xiaoyue, Yu Qian, Liu Tianzhi, the young disciples of the Clear Wind Sect, and the Absolute Saber Hall could not help but burst into laughter.
The sturdy youth could no longer hold it in and rushed forward with his fist raised.
"The Ancient Desolation cannot! How can this be the place to start fighting? " Zhang Fei stopped him.
"Kid!" "Remember this young master. If you know what's good for you, kneel on the ground and apologize. Otherwise, I, Crazy God, swear that this Black Forest will be your death!" An ominous glint appeared in Cang Huang's eyes as he roared fiercely.
"Humph!" With just you? If I kill you, you won't even have the chance to kneel on the ground and admit your wrongs! " Tie Lang coldly said as he glanced at Cang Huang with disdain.
"Kid, all the people in this world that dare to speak to me like that are now lying in hell. You just wait to go down and accompany them!"
"Mad god? Humph! A madman is more like that. I believe that my fist will not disappoint you! "
After stopping Cang Huang, Zhang Fei turned to Tie Lang and smiled, "Master Tie Lang, it seems that Nine Dragons Gate isn't friendly to you? Within the Black Mortal crevice, all the participants fought over the eight keys with their own strength. Inevitably, there would be casualties. If a person stood alone inside, then the probability of death was extremely high! I think it's best if you join my Tiger Fang Gang, and we can look out for you when the time comes. I can also make the decision and make Cang Huang and the others forgive you. Otherwise, these disciples will not show mercy to those who have bullied our sect's disciples … "
"Zhang Fei!" What are you talking about? " Eighth Elder Yan Fei could not help but feel angry.
"Hehe!" I'm just telling the truth. "
Tie Lang glanced at Zhang Fei, but did not say anything. However, out of the corner of his eyes, he suddenly noticed that a slender and extremely beautiful girl from the Tiger Fang Gang was standing a little distance away from the other disciples. She wasn't wearing the uniform unique to the disciples of the Tiger Fang Gang.
"Hmm? Who is this girl? Have I seen her? Why are you looking at me like that? Is it resentment or is it an extremely deep look? " Tie Lang could not help but feel suspicious.
However, he soon found out the answer. As if she had seen the expression on Tie Lang's face, Shangguan Xiaoyue who was not far away said in a low voice with a hint of resentment, "Let a burden participate. This time, not only did Cang Huang meet him, even the third of the 12 prodigies, Qin Meijuan, also joined the Tigerfang Gang. "Moreover, it seems like there will be a lot of trouble in the future …"
"Qin Meijuan?" Tie Lang muttered to himself. However, he was certain that this was the first time he had seen this girl.
"It's Qin Ke's sister!" Long Yue warned her: "You are still young and your strength is strong. Even if I meet her, I have no confidence in winning! Cang Huang's nickname was Mad God, ranked seventh among the 12 prodigies! "You must be more careful this time …"
"Thank you! "I will." Tie Lang answered calmly.
"Qin Ke's sister?" Cang Yu's brother? They were all enemies that could not be avoided! Since I can't get around them, I can only use my fists to talk to them! " Tie Lang Xin slowly turned his head back, closed his eyes and began to adjust his breathing, no longer paying attention to matters outside his body.
Before he could enter the Black Mortal Canyon, the situation in front of him was already tense. It seemed like a storm was brewing. It was like a whirlpool that was about to engulf the entire adventure! And the Iron Wolf seemed to have unwittingly become the core of the whirlpool …
