The City of Tempering

This is a pyramid-shaped high mountain, with seven or eight ring-shaped mountain roads climbing up and down, cutting a whole piece of yellow-brown into several pieces.

Within the range that Guert could see at this time, there were some caves scattered on each floor of the mountain road, and there seemed to be some guards standing around some of the caves.

Yan Yiyi explained: "This is the famous city of tempering, all of them are cultivators who practiced in seclusion. Some of them have been in seclusion for more than a hundred years, while others have been in seclusion for decades. The youngest one just entered recently. that batch.

"Each of them has different characteristics, but they all have one thing in common. They are the pillars of the cultivation world. The practitioners who come out of the city of tempering can at least reach the second level."

Guert knows that this is the core of the power of the entire cultivation world, which contains more powerful power than high-level people, so what can dark-level people do when they come here?

Yan Yiyi showed a rare dignified expression, and said: "Let's go in, you must be careful, don't talk if you can't show your head."

Gurte nodded and said, "What about you?"

Yan Yiyi suddenly smiled and said, "Didn't you see my outfit? From now on, I will be your little follower!"

Guert looked at Yan Yiyi's young servant's attire, and knew in his heart that she was already ready. He laughed, put his arms around her fragrant shoulders, and said, "Okay, little servant, let's go!"

Yan Yiyi slipped, slipped away from his arm, and said: " Young Master Gu, please, just follow Yiyi."

Seeing her bowing and serious appearance, Guert didn't dare to mess around anymore and walked inside.

As soon as he got close to the tempered city built with natural mountains as the main body, he met a group of people. The leader was a big man with thick beard and eyebrows, and there were three people behind him. These four people were walking down the mountain road dejectedly up and down.

Guert glanced at Yan Yiyi, took the initiative to greet her, and asked, "Brother, why did you come down so quickly?"

The big man sighed and said: "There is no hope, why not leave?" He ignored him and left directly.

Guert looked at Yan Yiyi full of doubts.

Yan Yiyi said: "Maybe someone who came to participate in the test." After a pause, she explained: "This city of tempering will be opened every three years to allow practitioners from the lower realm to participate in the test. The last test should have been two years ago. before."

Guert was stunned, and said: "Take a test for two years? Isn't this exhausting?"

Yan Yiyi glared at him and said: "It's your own destiny, ordinary cultivators, who wouldn't have to wait ten or eight years before they have a chance to be promoted?

"What's more, the City of Tempering is not any other place. The previous Tier 2 Ten Heroes and this time the Bright Ten Heroes were all trained and selected here."

Guert suddenly remembered that Yi Qing seemed to be selected among the ten heroes of the light. Could it be that she is also training here?

Suddenly remembered something, said: "Isn't this a high-level area? How did they come here?"

Yan Yiyi explained: "It is opened every three years, these people naturally gave enough permission to enter here.

Let's go, let's go up, strange, haven't they arrived yet? "

Guert also felt strange, if the dark steps killed here, how could the order here be as usual? But think about it again, the leader of the foreign spirit just now was killed, and those prisoners should have been released on purpose.

With doubts, the two quickly walked up.

I didn't meet anyone on the road this time, especially Guert noticed that some of the guards I saw in the distance just now seemed to have disappeared.

After some trekking, Guert finally sensed the fluctuation of energy in front of him, exchanged a glance with Yan Yiyi, and continued walking.

He saw a burst of weapons whining coming from a hole, and there were a few shouts, he glanced at it, turned around and said in a low voice: "It's the people from 'Midietian', it seems that there is a fight. to help?"

Guert knew that Yan Yiyi was not willing to reveal his identity, so he asked this question, Yan Yiyi said: "Go ahead and have a look."

Gould walked in as promised.

As soon as I entered, I found that the space inside was terribly large. The first impression I had was that the entire mountain had been hollowed out, with a hall tens of meters high, chandeliers, and ancient walls.

In the center of the hall are two groups of people fighting, one side is five people, masked in black, they should be the masked people in black that Feng Qi said, while the other group is four warriors in white, dressed like Zi Mei. Similarly, Guert saw them just now, so he knew that they were the white-clothed warriors of "Midietian".

These four white-clothed warriors are all men. At this time, the four of them formed a circle, well-trained and skilled in offense and defense. But the five people over there are not weak, and they cooperate tacitly, and they should be trained small groups to fight.

Guert didn't need to look to know that Yong Liansi was not among them, but perhaps by catching them, he could find out Yong Liansi's whereabouts. He looked at Yan Yiyi, obviously wanting to ask her what she meant.

Yan Yiyi thought for a moment, nodded her head lightly, and said, "Go!"

Guert let out a strange cry, and directly entered the battle from the side, punching and kicking, and wanted to dismantle one person to fight alone, but unexpectedly, the five masked men in black were much more powerful than imagined.

Once the formation of the five people changed, not only a special force was allocated to deal with Guert, but also the people next to them could borrow their strength.

After several moves, Guert still didn't see any improvement. Finally, he shouted angrily, summoned the Voiceless Spiritual Blade from his hand, and slashed horizontally without hesitation, emitting a piece of silver light.

The Tianjue Heart Sutra was poured into this peerless sword, and the cold light with silver light covered the five people. The morale of the four white-clothed warriors beside them was also boosted.

The group of five could no longer maintain the formation just now. Among them, the man who was facing Guert turned over backwards, and the one next to him couldn't dodge in time, so he was shocked to the side.

Guert didn't care about the dispersal, and swung the spirit blade directly, rushing to kill.

With the previous lessons learned, Gurt never dared to be too big, and everyone went all out and fought hard.

In less than a while, one of the five was directly chopped off by Gurt, and among the remaining four, three were seriously injured, and only one was deliberately left alive by him for questioning.

The white-clothed warrior over there already knew that he was Guert after he took out the voiceless spirit blade. Just as he was about to thank him, Guert waved his hand and asked, "Where are Zimei and the others?"

One of the white-clothed warriors replied: "Xiao Mei followed Mr. Feng Qi and chased him directly, and should have reached the top."

Guert was stunned, and noticed that he only mentioned Zi Mei and Feng Qi. Could it be that Sister Rou didn't come? Can't help but ask: "Where is Miss Rou?"

The warrior in white replied: "Sister Rou did not participate in this operation."

Guert nodded, feeling more and more strange in his heart. He looked at Yan Yiyi over there. Yan Yiyi had no expression on her face, and naturally she would not give Guert any hints.

Guert turned his head helplessly, looked at the masked men in black, and said, "Where are you from?"

No one spoke to the masked man, Guert shook the spirit blade in his hand, and said with a chuckle: "If you don't speak again, don't blame me for being rude!"

He saw the eyes of several masked people showing fearful glints at the same time, knowing that it had worked, he squatted there and asked the person who was only slightly injured again.

Seeing that he was still silent, Guert flicked his finger on the throat of a dying person next to him, and with a beep, that person died instantly on the spot.

Guert said: "How is it? Why don't you say it?"

The man kept shaking his head, but the fear in his eyes grew stronger and stronger.

It was the first time Guert saw this, and was about to slash at the person next to him again, when Yan Yiyi suddenly said, "Take off his mask!"

Guert gave Yan Yiyi a strange look. It's not that he didn't pick it up before, even if he did, he definitely wouldn't know her, so he asked directly.

At this time, Yiyan took off the mask, and it was a completely unfamiliar face.

Guert was about to continue asking questions, when the man opened his mouth suddenly, and he froze for a moment. It turned out that the man's tongue had already been cut off, so naturally he couldn't answer his question.

Guert turned around in amazement, Yan Yiyi sighed, and said, "He has no tongue, shaking his head just now didn't mean he didn't know, but that he couldn't speak."

The white-clothed warriors seemed a little strange about the relationship between the two, but when they heard that the man had no tongue, the white-clothed warrior who spoke just now exclaimed in surprise, "Is he from the family?"

After a long period of training, Gurt is already ruthless enough, but seeing this scene at this time, he still feels his scalp numb. Although the people in the dark ranks he has come into contact with, although their behavior is perverted and their temper is violent, at least their bodies are still strong. normal...

He immediately stood up and said, "Then you can ask!"

The white-clothed warrior walked over, knelt down, and made a few gestures with his hands. The man nodded quickly, and then looked at this side pleadingly.

The white-clothed warrior turned his head and said: "He is from the Ruoye family. He hopes we can arrest him, don't kill him!"

Guert said strangely: "How did you talk to him?"

The man said: "I compared the logos of several of their families, and they will know when they see it."

Guert snorted, and said: "Leave them to you, I'll go up and see Teacher Feng Qi and the others."

The white-clothed warrior nodded yes, suddenly Yan Yiyi said: "Aren't there any high-ranking people here?"

The white-clothed warrior knew that this little boy was with Guert and was unfathomable, so he hurriedly replied: "Yes, it's strange to say that the prison officer who was originally stationed here, Mr. Potter, is also here today. Suddenly disappeared."

Guert suddenly remembered that Feng Qi had said that this sister Rou was also one of the high-level seniors, but she didn't come. Could it be that these high-level seniors have made appointments and are on vacation together today?

He looked at Yan Yiyi, who turned around and said, "Let's go up!"

Guert no longer hesitated and followed.

Now he fully understands the meaning of what Feng Qi often said, "High-ranking acts are unpredictable". At such an important time, all high-rankings have disappeared.

The strange thing is that Yan Yiyi didn't say a word about it, and she had a faint smile on her face from time to time, looking confident.

Finally, when he was about to reach the top, Guert couldn't help asking: "Didn't you say that something big will happen?

Why did all these high-ranking people run away? "Yan Yiyi smiled and said: "Are you afraid? Don't forget, although those dark steps were released on purpose, they also took a lot of effort to get in. The energy and strength they expended are far greater than ours.

"Besides, this is the place of practice in the high-level area. If there is a big commotion, those people will definitely wake up from the retreat."

Guert let out a cry, and said, "Then why did Yong Liansi dare to break into this place alone?"

Yan Yiyi stopped, stared at him for a while, and then said calmly: "Probably because of a promise..." Then she walked up and stopped answering his questions.

This made Guert even more confused, but he also knew that Yan Yiyi would not say any more, so he walked forward feeling bored.

After walking for a while, Yan Yiyi stopped, pointed to a door in front, and said: "This is already the second floor, that person should be here, and they should be there too."

Needless to say, Guert already knew that there were several powerful forces colliding fiercely in the face, and the hostility between the two sides was very obvious.

Guert took a step forward, and with the experience of last time, this time he was no longer as surprised as before, but he was still surprised when he saw it now.

This is a larger hall than before, with a few large stone pillars in the middle, clearly dividing the two camps, and the most eye-catching thing is a tightly locked gate facing this door.

Guert knew that it was the retreat place of someone Yan Yiyi, Feng Qi and others mentioned.

At this time, in the center of the hall, there were two people competing, but what surprised Guert was that he found that the opponent was actually Zhao Yumin.

He scanned his eyes repeatedly, and sure enough, he found the eye-catching Yi Qingke standing behind him, and the all-too-familiar Feng Qi standing in front of him, and the equally ostentatious Zi Mei in a white warrior uniform.

There were more than a dozen people standing beside them, except for one who had seen him on the street before, the rest of them were all familiar faces.

On the other side, Zhao Yumin was fighting against another masked man in black, and there were more than twenty masked men in black standing behind him. Covered his face, unable to see his identity.

Fortunately, at this time the hall was fighting hard, and no one noticed Guert.

He quietly walked around the edge of the hall, standing on Fengqi's side, on the one hand because of the faction relationship, on the other hand, the opposite side was all black masks, he stood there, no matter how careful he was, It is estimated that it will be revealed soon.

He turned his head and looked around, except for a few people standing on the edge and behind who saw him, no one else noticed him.

He was just about to call Yan Yiyi to come with him, when suddenly his clothes were pulled lightly, and only then did he realize that Yan Yiyi was already standing behind him.

A person in front of them also saw him, and glanced at them curiously. Just about to speak, Guert put his finger on his lips, made a silent gesture, and then pointed to the front.

It's also a coincidence, only to hear Zhao Yumin in front shout angrily at this moment, and a wave of energy that swept the whole hall surged out and blasted towards the front.

Guert's face changed slightly.

He obviously didn't expect that this opponent, who was a bit of a rival in love, would improve so fast, and he would have such a cultivation base after not seeing him for such a short time.

He turned his head to look at Yan Yiyi, remembering that the two of them appeared at the same time in Lianyun Village, and knew that Yiyi had at least taken a fancy to Zhao Yumin.

Yan Yiyi smiled slightly, obviously knowing what he was thinking, and took the initiative to put her little hand on his big one.

Guert patted her palm lightly, expressing that he didn't care, and at the same time let go, watching the battle ahead.

Yan Yiyi, who was next to her, had a strange look in her eyes, a smile flickered across her lips, and she turned her head to look forward as well.

The two sides have entered the final juncture.

Zhao Yumin's body trembled violently, he groaned twice in a row, and fell backwards, Feng Qi who was behind hurried forward to support him.

But it was not so easy for the masked man in black on the opposite side. He raised his head and spat out a mouthful of blood, and fell straight back, being hugged by the masked man who had been standing beside Yong Liansi.

Guert knew that that person was the man in Tsing Yi who was always with Yong Liansi.

There was a burst of applause.

Guert looked at the smug look on Zhao Yumin's face, but he was secretly laughing in his heart: The injury he suffered just now was definitely not as small as it appeared on the surface, he still cares about face, if he is willing to spit out the blood clot in his chest, he may recover quickly , Now, at least today is temporarily abolished.

Yong Liansi suddenly laughed lightly, her beautiful eyes swept over this side, and said: "Sure enough, I want to look at you with admiration. I didn't expect you younger generation, except for one Guert to come out to have a look, now there are a few more... ..."

Halfway through the speech, the person in front of Guert seemed a little uncomfortable, moved his body, just to make way for the gap where Guert was, and Yong Liansi's eyes just caught him, paused, and then passed.

Here, Zhao Yumin said loudly: "You evil spirits are crooked, and dare to trespass into the forbidden area of the Guangming rank. You don't need high-ranking officials to come forward. As long as we are the ten heroes of the Guangming, it is enough for you to go back to your hometown!"

There was another movement here, and four or five people took a step forward. Obviously, they were all members of the Bright Ten Heroes that Zhao Yumin said.

Guert only thought it was funny when he saw it, and remembered that they had not experienced the tragic change in "Freedom Day".

Looking at the crowd, he suddenly remembered that he didn't seem to see Mu Fengling and Xiaoling. Are these two names with spirits still in seclusion?

The people in front should be the main force of the ten bright heroes and the second-rank ten heroes, and a small number of "Midietian" white-clothed warriors brought by Zimei, while the opposite should be the dark rank brought by Yong Liansi, and "Ping The strength of several major families of Haitian.

Yong Liansi glanced at the people on this side with a mocking gaze, and then at Guert by the way, and said, "Really?

Then you can come and have a try! Send another person. "Guert knew that if Yong Liansi hadn't used up all his strength in that "God Destroyer Hand" in the talent barrier, he should have made a move already.

With the strength of her dark-ranked goddess and the dark-ranked sword, not many people here can stop her.

Thinking of this, he couldn't help but look at Yan Yiyi who was hiding behind him, only then did he realize that Yiyi's eyes seemed to be lingering around the gate.

Why does Yiyi care so much about the people here? Even if that person leaves the customs, isn't he still a bright and high-level person?

What is there to worry about?

But even though he thought so, he vaguely knew that this was not the case.

Especially seeing Yong Liansi's fiery eyes occasionally cast on the door, which is extremely rare in Yong Liansi who Guert has been in contact with so many times.

Here, before Feng Qi could speak, a person jumped out and said, "Okay! Junior brother Zhao has shown his talents since he first arrived in the cultivation world, we old fellows can't show weakness!

"Come on, I, Tieba, will test how powerful your dark ranks are, and how dare you enter the high ranks!"

Yong Liansi seemed suddenly not in the mood to speak, and patted the man next to him who had just come out to help, signaling him to come out.

That person was the man in Tsing Yi that Guert had guessed, and he bowed and stood up.

Normally, Guert couldn't see anything about him, but now when he stood with the Iron Bully here, his aura suddenly changed, and the pressure around him suddenly increased. Guert thought to himself, that Iron Bully had to bear more.

Sure enough, Tie Ba shouted sharply, clasped his hands together, and there was a sound of gold and jade intertwining, a pair of rings suddenly appeared in his hands, a burst of sparks burst out, and his tall figure rushed towards the man.

There was a cold light in the eyes of the masked man in black, he snorted coldly, and greeted him.

Guert originally thought that the iron tyrant must be finished, but at this moment, such a charge suddenly produced a domineering momentum, which raised the expectations of the people around him at the same time.

Especially the pair of rings in his hand are very strange, it seems that one is inside the other, but when they are taken apart, they are the same size, every time he swings it, there will be a whistling sound of breaking wind.

Guert looked at Yan Yiyi.

Yan Yiyi's eyes were still staring at the door over there, he looked over unconsciously, and was startled suddenly, the door seemed to be trembling slightly...
