Chapter 40: The Gathering Place of the Seven Evils!
Chu Yang knew that Meng Chaoran's words were not polite, but he understood his meaning. With these words, Tan Tang would surely be safe and sound.
When passing through the mountain gate, the disciple who was guarding the door looked at Meng Chaoran's face full of frost and his body like a package about to explode, didn't dare ask a single question, and let him pass directly.
Wu Yunliang was already standing outside the door waiting.
Today, all disciples of Shandemen went to Suoyun Peak for trial. It was Wu Yunliang's trick to create a separate and secret environment for Chu Yang!
Saw Wu Yunliang, Meng Chaoran's eyes chilled, but he didn't say a word.
Wu Yun let out a cold, bitter laugh and said nothing more than "Follow me." He led the way.
They arrived at the grand hall, passed by the ancestral temple, and then Wuyun Liang stretched out his hand, opened a secret passage, and led Chu Yang and the others inside.
All along the winding path, going down, it seemed to have reached the deepest place. It turned out that there was a spacious great hall at the bottom of the earth. In front of the great hall, there was a stone gate made of green jade.
The temperature here has already dropped to freezing point.
"I and your master are waiting for you here. This is the place where the Seven Shadows converge, and only one person can enter at a time. You go in yourself, and how much good fortune you have will depend on yourself. From this green jade gate, walk straight ahead, passing through seven gates like this, and you'll arrive at the place of convergence! Remember, if you can't withstand the extreme cold, immediately withdraw, don't try to be brave!"
Chu Yang nodded and responded with a sound. He raised his head, looking at the towering green jade gate, and shot out sharp light from his eyes.
A surge of energy burst forth from the dantian, as if sensing something. The Jiuxing Sword suddenly began to move with a momentum that was like a child cheering and jumping for joy!
Watching Chuyang push open the Qingyu door and walk in, Wu Yunliang and Meng Chaoran stood shoulder to shoulder, neither of them speaking. After a while, Meng Chaoran said solemnly: "Big Brother Master, do you know what kind of person Chuyang is?"
The dark cloud was silent and didn't say a word.
"Chu Yang, he was only three months old when I picked him up and brought him back with me, raising him bit by bit. All these years, it's more accurate to say that I'm his father, his mother!"
"His name was given by me; Chuyang, initial sunshine, represents the greatest hope of my life! Master brother, do you understand?"
"I understand." Wu Yun let out a deep sigh.
"You don't understand!" Meng Chaoran stood tall and slender, suddenly turning around, without warning, a heavy fist slammed into Wu Yunliang's face. With a thud, Wu Yunliang's body leaned back, but he didn't make a sound.
Meng Chaoran showed no mercy, immediately flying up with one foot and fiercely kicking his small belly, knocking him to the ground. He then pounced on top of him, riding on his body, with fists falling down like raindrops.
Fists and feet struck, the dull sound echoing, neither of them said a word. In this underground place tens of zhang from the ground, Tianwai Building's Meng Chaoran grabbed his own senior brother, and gave him a thorough beating!
Wu Yun Liang remained motionless from start to finish, without retaliating or making a sound. It wasn't until Meng Chaoran stopped after throwing hundreds of punches that the master of Tianwai Tower had a face swollen like a pig's head and his entire body was covered in bruises.
"Older brother... this is your temper! After twenty years, as the older brother, I finally saw you get angry for once. These years you've been suppressing yourself, it's been hard to bear, hehe, cough...". Wu Yunliang lay on the ground, coughed once and said: "For this one time, being beaten by you like this, even if it was more ruthless, more severe, it would still be worth it! I'm very happy!"
"If something happens to Chu Yang, I'll make you feel like it's worth it every day! You'll be this happy every day!" Meng Chaoran said calmly as he stood up from him.
"Old Yao... Not just Chu Yang, including you and me, in this huge whirlpool... No one has the grasp to survive! This is our Tianwai Building's fate!" Wu Yunliang struggled to get up, moved around, his whole body crackling with pain, couldn't help but take two deep breaths, and couldn't help but complain: "You damn, you really didn't leave any mercy at all."
Meng Chaoran let out a cold snort and turned his head away. He gazed at the Qingyu Gate, his expression heavy with concern, his eyes complex to the extreme.
Chu Yang proceeded forward, the stone walls on both sides were all rounded beads, emitting a hazy light, which in this underground place seemed even more like a dream.
The nine-calamity sword in the dantian was jumping more and more fiercely, as if seeing a long-lost relative.
The second Qingyu Gate opened, and the cold air became even heavier. If an ordinary person had reached this point, they would have to circulate their internal energy to resist the cold air, but Chu Yang didn't feel any discomfort at all. On the contrary, his entire body from head to toe felt infinite comfort!
Chu Yang's heart was as steady as a rock, his feet didn't stop for a moment.
The Third Pass of the Green Jade Gate!
The fourth!
Every step Chu Yang took was of the same size, his breathing calm and peaceful, indicating that his heart remained as calm as ice and snow, and had not been disturbed by the Nine Tribulations Sword, which was known as the number one opportunity in the world.
The fifth Qingyu Gate opens.
The Sixth!
Chu Yang's eyes didn't change at all.
In his consciousness, a sudden sigh was heard. The empty and desolate voice suddenly appeared, and the ethereal sigh said: "This kind of temperament is indeed worthy of the Nine Tribulations Sword! It seems that the hardships and killings of your past life have already transformed you from an unyielding stone into a translucent and luminous jade!"
Chu Yang's feet didn't stop, but in his consciousness, he calmly asked: "Who are you? Human or ghost?"
It was this voice that, after proudly saying the words "the heavens can be turned upside down", fell silent once more and no matter how Chu Yang called out to it, refused to emerge again.
Today, in this environment, it suddenly appeared silently again.
But after Chu Yang asked this, the voice disappeared again. It didn't answer Chu Yang's question for a long time; until Chu Yang pushed open the ninth Qingyu Gate, the voice weakly responded: "I'm very weak now, every word I say will cause too much damage. Chu Yang, hurry up and ascend to the second section of Jiuyi Sword."
"Second Section?"
"Yes, the second segment, heavenly spirit and earthly treasure, rare refining materials... most importantly, the Nine Calamity Sword... these can restore my vitality," The voice grew lower and more ethereal, as if it might disperse at any moment: "...help me, I can help you reverse this fate..."
The sound disappeared, as if it had exhausted its last energy.
Chu Yang was already standing inside, within the ninth Qingyu Gate.
Inside was empty, but a cold air that seemed to freeze people into ice sticks and then shatter them, poured in from all sides. On Chuyang's body, a layer of white frost condensed in no time.
In the dantian, the Nine Calamity Sword's intense activity stirred up a boundless and endless cold air, like a tidal wave that surged into Chu Yang's body, entered his meridians, and flowed into the Nine Calamity Sword...
For a full two hours, Chu Yang couldn't move at all, and the cold air surged in like a flood.
Two hours later, the cold air finally weakened. Chu Yang only felt that his body had recovered its ability to move, carefully observed the surroundings, and took a step to the left. A jump in the dantian, as if to stop, go forward; or stop.
He walked to the right, and Jiuxing Sword emitted a burst of joyful emotions. After walking seven or eight steps, he arrived at the edge of the stone wall. Jiuxing Sword suddenly fell silent, but it was an extremely excited silence!
It's right here!
It's Monday again, let's rush to the top! The long-lost passion for battle has suddenly risen again. At this moment, I hope to fight alongside you! Come on, let's go up and kill!
