Chapter 16 Tip-off

If Zhao Mu's victory over Niu Tie won the applause of the whole audience, then Lu Qi's declaration of challenge to Chu Jiaoran completely set off the entire outer sect.

These two are the celebrities of the outer sect.

Chu Jiaoran is the ninth on the outer sect's Tianjiao list, a new star of the fox clan, with unparalleled charm, and her every smile is fascinating.

Lu Qi is the granddaughter of the twelfth elder Lu Haikong. She is of noble status and is no less beautiful than Chu Jiaoran. She is the iceberg goddess in the minds of countless outer sect disciples.

These two stunning beauties are actually jealous of Zhao Mu at this moment.

Is there any gossip that can attract more attention than this?

In a moment, the news spread to the entire outer sect, causing more and more outer sect disciples to gather in the square.

Even some inner sect disciples heard the news and ran over to join in the fun.

But at this time, Zhao Mu and Lu Qi had already entered the secret realm of the road to heaven.

Everyone is looking forward to Lu Qi's results.

But some people are not optimistic.

Chu Jiaoran is the ninth on the Outer Sect’s Tianjiao List. Her strength is hard to shake. Even if Lu Qi breaks through the Jindan Realm, it is still quite difficult for him to surpass Chu Jiaoran in the ranking.

But no one has any intention of leaving.

Because Chu Jiaoran did not leave, she stood outside the Tiantian Road. Although her face was calm, the breath she exuded was like a rose with thorns, making people dare not approach.

No matter what the result of Lu Qi's challenge to Tiantian Road is, there must be a good show to watch when she comes out.

At the same time.

The holy land of the Demon Sect, the Nine Dragon Sword Tomb.

Long Tianxiang, who was in retreat, also learned the news of the Outer Sect.

"Brother Long, the Outer Sect is saying that Junior Sister Lu Qi is jealous of Chu Jiaoran of the Fox Clan for a little white face. I am afraid that this matter will affect your reputation, so I came to report it."

The speaker was an Inner Sect disciple with a bull's head on his head.

His name is Niu Ao. He is a top ten master on the Inner Sect Tianjiao List and is also quite famous in the sect.

At the same time, Niu Ao is also Niu Tie's cousin.

He was the first to know that Niu Tie was severely injured by Zhao Mu in the outer gate.

How could Niu Ao let it go when his cousin was bullied like this?

But when he learned that Zhao Mu had a close relationship with Lu Qi, Niu Ao suppressed his anger and did not go directly to the outer gate.

Although Lu Qi was the granddaughter of Elder Lu Haikong, she was not so fearful to him.

What he really feared was Lu Qi's fiancé, Long Tianxiang, who ranked fifth on the Tianjiao list of his personal disciples.

Long Tianxiang not only had a dragon clan background, but was also the last disciple of Xiao Zhentian, the great elder of Shengyuan Demon Sect!

With these two identities, Long Tianxiang's status in Shengyuan Demon Sect was almost only slightly weaker than that of the Son of God.

In Niu Ao's view, since Lu Qi had an engagement with Long Tianxiang and was so close to a pretty boy, once this news reached Long Tianxiang's ears, it would inevitably cause Long Tianxiang's anger.

He could kill someone with someone else's knife and avenge his cousin without getting himself into trouble.

After all, if Lu Qi got angry and provoked the twelfth elder Lu Haikong, Niu Ao would not be able to afford it.

"Dare you disturb my retreat for such a small matter?"

Long Tianxiang suddenly opened his eyes and stared at Niu Ao.

In an instant, Niu Ao seemed to be pointed at his soul by countless sharp swords, which frightened him so much that he was stiff and unable to breathe.

This was far beyond Niu Ao's expectations.

His fiancé was jealous of a little white face, but Long Tianxiang was indifferent. What was he thinking?

Even if the outside world knew that Long Tianxiang was obsessed with cultivation and was a real cultivation maniac, he could ignore this situation. His heart was too big.

Niu Ao, who was frustrated, did not dare to complain, and could only hurriedly say: "Brother Long, don't blame me, it was my junior brother who was abrupt, I will leave now."

The next moment, the agitated sword intent in the air disappeared without a trace.

Niu Ao, who had regained his mobility, bowed and retreated in a hurry.

He didn't want to stay in this damn place for a moment.

"Stay."

Just as Niu Ao was about to leave, Long Tianxiang suddenly called out.

Niu Ao turned around stiffly: "I wonder if my senior brother has any other instructions."

Buzz!

A clanging sword sound rang out from Long Tianxiang's body.

The golden sword intent burst out from Long Tianxiang's palm.

The golden sword intent fell into Niu Ao's hands with extremely terrifying pressure.

Niu Ao almost fainted from fright, but after sensing that this sword intent was not a threat to him, he secretly breathed a sigh of relief.

It is rumored that Long Tianxiang has cultivated the sword intent to the level of being able to control it freely, and it is unexpectedly true!

He thought: "What does Senior Brother Long mean?"

Long Tianxiang said lightly: "There are always some ants who don't know how high the sky is and how deep the earth is. You can get rid of them for me."

After speaking, Long Tianxiang's figure turned into a sword light and escaped into the depths of the Nine Dragon Sword Tomb to continue his retreat.

Niu Ao carefully put the golden sword into his sleeve, swallowed his saliva, bowed and left.

Heavenly Road.

After entering here, Zhao Mu and Lu Qi were separated.

Lu Qi was on the third floor.

And Zhao Mu entered the Heavenly Road for the first time and was at the first floor.

Zhao Mu looked around and found that there was white fog on three sides, and only the front was clearly visible.

He walked forward in the fog, and soon he walked on a floating platform.

On the platform, there were three sleeping monsters crawling.

A big rooster with a tumor on its head.

A swollen hedgehog covered with spikes and a body that could grow larger than a bear.

And a five-foot-tall green-skinned toad.

The auras of the three monsters were all at the primary stage of foundation building.

I didn't expect that the first level of the road to heaven would have a monster at the foundation building level, and it looked extremely ferocious.

The newly-entered outer disciples didn't dare to come here to challenge.

The moment Zhao Mu stepped onto the platform, the surrounding mist surged, and a halo of formation descended from the sky, covering Zhao Mu and the monsters.

In an instant, the three monsters in front of Zhao Mu woke up at the same time.

The monsters divided into three groups and attacked Zhao Mu at the same time.

What a fast speed!

Zhao Mu's face was cold, and he immediately retreated several steps to distance himself from the monsters.

Otherwise, it would be easy to be attacked from three sides, and the situation would be very dangerous.

Especially the hedgehog, which was shaking its body wildly in mid-air, throwing out a large piece of sharp thorns like a rain of pear blossoms. If it was hit by the sharp thorns, the barbs on it would be embedded in the flesh and difficult to remove.

Fortunately, Zhao Mu dodged in time and was not hit by the first wave of attacks.

"It's my turn to fight back!"

The power of the red sun in Zhao Mu's body rolled and continued to flow and gather on his fists. His fists became red and hot like branding irons. He punched out with a dazzling light, shocking the three monsters so much that they couldn't open their eyes.

Zhao Mu found the right opportunity and kicked and blasted the three monsters out of the field.

It was still very easy to win.

But in actual combat, Zhao Mu also realized a serious flaw.

His fighting skills and strength were not matched.

The Red Sun Holy Body contained infinite power, but he didn't have many means to exert this power, which was a pity.

It would be great if there was a melee type of martial arts for him to learn.

At this moment, the mist in front of him dissipated, and a staircase leading to the second floor slowly emerged.

At the same time, a pill, a flying sword, and an ancient book landed in front of Zhao Mu at the same time.

"After passing the first level, you can choose one of the three rewards."

Zhao Mu was slightly stunned. It turned out that there were rewards for challenging the Heavenly Road. It seemed that he had come to the right place this time.

He immediately looked at the ancient book.

"Burning Flame Palm"

Yellow-level top-grade skills!

Zhao Mu was immediately overjoyed. This was like someone delivering a pillow to him when he was dozing off. Whatever he wanted came true.

Without saying anything, Zhao Mu took the ancient book and began to read and practice on the spot.
