The Peerless Demon of Martial Arts

Chapter 217 Adventurous Entry
"Establish a new leader? It's easy to say, how can we establish one? The previous leader of our Mingjiao was selected by the previous leader, and he succeeded after death. Even if a few leaders died suddenly, they all left their successors early. , The most important thing is that there is no token of the leader, so it is very troublesome to choose, and if it is not done well, it will cause internal strife." Huo Lao said seriously.

"But it's really not an option to go on like this."

"Let's take a step and see." Xu Xuan also felt that there was a lot of resistance to establishing a new leader, but this seemed to be the only way.

Feng Lao said: "It's still the same sentence, you need to see people when you live, and you need to see corpses when you die. Master Ye has already experienced triple lightning calamity, and his life expectancy can be up to [-] years. How will the teacher do it?"

Li Tianxing said: "It's simple, you can first appoint someone to act as the leader, and when the leader Ye comes back in the future, the acting leader can hand over the power back."

Xu Xuan still shook his head, and replied: "I am already the acting leader in name, but many people in the church do not accept me, and the four protectors have left one after another. Now Mr. Lin and Mr. Shan have completely severed contact with me, and the five scattered people also said yes. I went out to look for the leader, but I have been away for several years, and I have never replied to a letter, alas... it is really hard to describe..."

"Mr. Lin and Mr. Shan...they also lost contact with us, maybe they went somewhere to retreat and practice..."

Li Tianxing asked: "Who are Mr. Lin and Mr. Shan?"

Xu Xuan sneered and shook his head, as if he didn't bother to answer, Lao Huo explained awkwardly: "You told you before, Feng Linhuo and the four of us are the four protectors of Mingjiao. After Shanlao left the main altar, he disappeared and rarely showed up in the arena. Only Fenglao and I made some famous achievements in the arena, so the world only knows the two elders, Fenghuo, but they don’t know the names of the four guardians of Fenglinhuo .”

"So that's it, I'm ignorant." Li Tianxing said.

Xu Xuandao: "Let's go. When I wanted to find out, I happened to meet you guys. It seems that God is also helping me. Come with me to the Kunlun ruins."

Xu Xuan was already leading the way, followed closely by the Fenghuo Erlao and the unknown swordsman. Li Tianxing asked, "The Kunlun ruins are forbidden again? Can I not go with you?"

Xu Xuan stopped and said: "The Kunlun ruins are strictly forbidden for disciples of our sect to enter, and outsiders... seem to have no restrictions. This time it's our turn to break the rules."

Several people passed through the main hall and walked out from the side hall. A winding stone staircase spiraled downwards, leading to the dark depths of the ground. A ball of fire condensed in the old man's hand, and he threw it on the wall casually, "Shua Shua Shua !” The torches on the wall were lit one by one, shining all the way to the deepest part.

Huo Lao joked: "Xu Sheng made you too lazy. I remember that the torches on this road are always on. Does our Mingjiao even have to save this bit of kerosene?"

Xu Xuan walked down and said: "I am the only one in the big main altar now, I don't even have a helper, and there is no shortage of fire oil, but changing so many torches one by one will really exhaust me, so I will go now Everywhere you go, you have to put out the torches, if Mr. Huo is interested, you can try to change one by one of the more than 800 torches in the main altar."

Feng Lao and Huo Lao chuckled, and they walked down the stone ladder and passed several forks in the road. Feng Lao didn't introduce too much, and Li Tianxing didn't ask too much.

He didn't know how deep he had gone, and the stone ladder still hadn't bottomed out. Li Tianxing asked curiously, "Is this stone ladder excavated by your Mingjiao disciples?"

Huo Lao said: "I heard from the seniors in the teaching that this place was not excavated by Mingjiao disciples, but someone used this cave to dig the next layer of stone chambers and halls. Later, Mingjiao came from the Western Regions, and some Mingjiao disciples discovered here. This place has been designated as the main altar of Mingjiao."

While talking, Xu Xuan stopped, and the stone ladder finally reached the end. There stood a stone tablet as tall as a person, and a row of bright red characters were engraved on the stone tablet: Mingjiao disciples shall never enter without permission!
The red lettering on the stele looks like someone carved it directly with a sword. I don't know whether the strokes are blended with the sword's intention, or the red lacquer is too gloomy, which always gives people an extremely dangerous feeling. .

Xu Xuan took the torch stuck on it from the wall, handed it to them and said, "Take it! Let's go in and check!" He suddenly looked at Li Tianxing and asked, "I haven't asked you what your name is?"

Li Tianxing said: "Shence Mansion Li Tianxing."

"From the Shence Mansion?" Xu Xuan looked at Feng Lao and Huo Lao wondering, why did you get together with the people from the imperial court?It is really inappropriate to ask these things now, so Xu Xuan took down five torches so that none of them had one.

He walked in front and said: "I don't know what's inside, I'll lead the charge, you spread out, if you encounter any danger, you don't have to save me, just run out as best as you can, I will never blame you."

"What's this saying? If it can be saved, it must be saved." Feng Lao said.

Xu Xuan did not answer, but walked inside holding a torch, Feng Lao said: "Huo Lao and I are ranked second and third, Wuming is fourth, and my lord is the last. This matter is originally the internal affairs of our Mingjiao. , you actually don’t need to take risks with us.”

Li Tianxing said: "It's okay, maybe I can help with something."

He really wanted to follow along.

The stone path here is not as neat as the one above. The ground is full of pits and hollows, extending obliquely downwards. Li Tianxing looked at the torch in his hand, which was regularly blown by a gust of wind. Li Tianxing felt the blow. The wind came like the sound of breathing.

Could it be that there are some terrible monsters living under the ruins?Li Tianxing had doubts in his heart, if this was the case, then their trip was indeed very risky.It is the best choice for Li Tianxing to stay on the top, at least you can pass the news to other sects that your Dharma protector and holy envoy have disappeared in the forbidden area.

Li Tianxing hesitated for a long time, but he didn't have the nerve to say that he wanted to go back alone. He didn't stay just now, but now he became a deserter, which only added to the embarrassment.

"Here we are." Xu Xuan said suddenly.

The stone path became wider and wider, until a wide stone chamber appeared in front of it, and it was so dark that it was hard to see how big it was. Xu Xuan stopped in front, and his torch seemed to be extinguished by the wind.

"Hoo hoo! Hoo hoo!" Several people didn't go any further, because the place where the stone path and the stone chamber connect was a cliff, and the bottom seemed to be a huge basin. Xu Xuan kicked a stone from his feet, and the stone flew away. In the darkness in the distance, it took a long time to hear the sound of "splash" into the water.
