Chapter 16 Tip-off

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

These two are both influential figures in the outer sect.

Chu Jiaoran was ninth on the outer sect's list of geniuses, a rookie from the Fox clan, with unparalleled charm and a captivating smile.

Lu Qi is the granddaughter of the twelfth elder Lu Haikong. She has a noble status and is not inferior to Chu Jiaoran in terms of beauty. She is the iceberg goddess in the eyes of countless outer disciples.

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

Is there any gossip more eye-catching than this?

In an instant, the news spread throughout the outer sect, causing more and more outer sect disciples to gather in the square.

Some inner disciples even heard the news and came over to join in the fun.

But at this time, Zhao Mu and Lu Qi had entered the secret realm of the Road to Heaven.

Everyone is looking forward to Lu Qi's results.

But some people are not optimistic about it.

Chu Jiaoran is the ninth in the list of Outer Talents, and her strength is hard to shake. Even if Lu Qi breaks through to the Dan Formation Realm, it will still be very difficult to surpass Chu Jiaoran in the ranking.

But no one had any intention of leaving.

Because Chu Jiaoran didn't leave, she stood outside the Climbing Road. Although her face was calm, the aura she exuded was like a rose with thorns, making people afraid to approach her.

Regardless of the outcome of Lu Qi's challenge to reach the sky, there will definitely be a good show to watch when she comes out.

at the same time.

The Holy Land of Demon Sect, Kowloon Sword Tomb.

Long Tianxiang, who was practicing in seclusion, also learned the news about what happened in the outer sect.

"Senior Brother Long, there are rumors in the outer sect that Junior Sister Lu Qi is jealous of Chu Jiaoran from the Fox Clan over a pretty boy. I'm afraid that this matter will affect your reputation, Senior Brother, so I'm here to report it."

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

His name is Niu Ao, he is one of the top ten masters on the inner sect's list of geniuses, and he is quite famous in the sect.

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

He knew immediately that Niu Tie was seriously injured by Zhao Mu at the outer gate.

How could Niu Ao give up when his cousin was bullied like this?

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

Although Lu Qi is the granddaughter of Elder Lu Haikong, she is not so afraid of him.

What he was really afraid of was Lu Qi's fiancé, Long Tianxiang, who was ranked fifth on the Prodigy List.

Long Tianxiang not only has a dragon clan background, but he is also a close disciple of Xiao Zhentian, the great elder of Shengyuan Demon Sect!

With these two identities, Long Tianxiang's status in the Holy Yuan Demon Sect can almost be said to be only slightly weaker than that of the Holy Son.

In Niu Ao's view, since Lu Qi was engaged to Long Tianxiang and was so close to a pretty boy, once the news reached Long Tianxiang's ears, it would definitely arouse Long Tianxiang's anger.

He could have borrowed a knife to kill someone and avenge his cousin, without getting himself into trouble.

After all, if Lu Qi gets angry and offends the twelfth elder Lu Haikong, Niu Ao can't bear it.

"You dare to disturb my retreat for such a trivial matter?"

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

In an instant, Niu Ao felt as if countless sharp swords were pointing directly at his soul. He was so frightened that his whole body became stiff and he could not breathe.

This was far beyond Niu Ao's expectation.

His fiancé was jealous over a pretty boy, but Long Tianxiang was indifferent. What did he think?

Even if the outside world knows that Long Tianxiang is obsessed with cultivation and is a true cultivation madman, he can ignore this situation because he is too caring.

The deflated Niu Ao didn't dare to complain, so he could only say hastily: "Senior Brother Long, don't blame me. It's my junior brother who is being abrupt. I'll leave right now."

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

Niu Ao, who regained his mobility, hurriedly bowed and retreated.

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

"Stay."

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

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

Buzz!

A sonorous sword sound sounded from Long Tianxiang's body.

Golden sword intent burst out from Long Tianxiang's palm.

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

Niu Ao almost fainted from fright, but after sensing that the sword intent posed no threat to him, he secretly breathed a sigh of relief.

It is rumored that Long Tianxiang has cultivated his sword intention to a state where he can freely retract and release it. Unexpectedly, it is true!

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

Long Tianxiang said calmly: "There are always some ants who don't know how high the sky is. Just get rid of them for me."

After saying that, Long Tianxiang's figure turned into a sword light, escaped into the depths of the Nine Dragons Sword Tomb, and continued to practice in seclusion.

Niu Ao carefully put the golden sword intention into his sleeve, swallowed, and bowed away.

The road to heaven.

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

Lu Qi is on the third floor.

Zhao Mu entered the Road to Heaven for the first time and was at the starting point of the first level.

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

He walked forward through the mist, and after a while, he was on a floating platform.

On the platform, three sleeping monsters were crawling.

A big rooster with a mass of sarcoma flowers on its head.

A bloated hedgehog whose body is covered with spikes and can grow to the size of 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.
