Shrouding the sky: Slashing the world of mortals with a sword, becoming the strongest empress

The morning light has not yet faded, the grass is still green, and the two-story simple building is about to shine.

On the top eaves covered with thatch, hung a plaque with the three characters "Wenxin Palace" written on it, with golden brilliance flowing on it.

Nan Xiao had nothing to do last night and made this after imitating the plaque of an old building in the city.

Opening the door again, Nan Xiao did not get trapped in the confusion, but held Li Tianbao's jade sign and followed the guidance, slowly walking towards the Demon Locking Red Building.

The mansion gate occupies a very large area, and even though the Demon Locking Building is huge, it can still be easily included.

Nan Xiao stepped on the divine rainbow and walked half running, half flying for more than half an hour, but she still didn't reach her destination.

Not long after, the sun was high in the sky, and Nan Xiao felt a little hungry.

While Nan Xiao was still thinking about how to find food, she heard the sound of a door opening in the distance.

She looked around and saw a little girl in a fire-colored dress stretching.

The little girl looks like she is still in her prime, with innocent deer eyes and slender eyebrows, she is very beautiful.

Her fiery red clothes reflected her white skin, and her height did not reach Nan Xiao's chest.

Nan Xiao stared, and she recognized the origin of the fiery red dress on the little girl.

There are colorful Taoist robes in Qingya Blessed Land, fish and dragon robes in Longmen Cave Heaven, Yunhai Pavilion cultivators wear clouds, and lotus flowers are embroidered on the breasts of Luohe Blessed Land.

The little girl who was stretching towards the scorching sun was wearing Zhuju Cave Sky's signature Flowing Fire Immortal Clothes.

The distant light is like fire, and the red glow on the little girl's body looks extremely brilliant.

As the mountains and rivers turned again, Nan Xiao felt that this little girl from Zhuju Cave was quite powerful. Her cultivation level was just a little behind her. She was already at the peak of Life Spring and was not far away from breaking through.

Sensing Nan Xiao's gaze, the little girl looked back, her eyes lit up instantly, and she immediately said hello with a smile: "Good morning, little sister!"

Nan Xiao was not dressed in men's clothing at this time, so her beautiful face was even more radiant at noon when the sun was in the sky.

"My name is Nian Ranran. Brother, just call me Ranran. What's your name, little sister?" Nian Ranran announced his name without waiting for Nan Xiao's reaction.

"Nan Xiao."

"Sister Nan Xiao, are you lost? The maze is really not easy to walk, and it changes frequently. Even with the jade sign to guide you, it's difficult to get close to the Suo Yao Red Building. Let's go, I happen to be hungry too, let's go there directly. Go over there. You can find everything there, and you can also discuss magic and magical powers with your colleagues!" Nian Ranran was very familiar with her and called her sister directly.

Nan Xiao pursed her lips. This was the first time she was called that.

"This big house is actually a huge circle. There are three concentric high walls in total, which divide the house into three parts. But there is a maze at every corner, and the formation will change with time. Outside. The first floor is occupied by some dignitaries, the second floor is occupied by cultivators or the family members of ordinary warriors, and the third floor is occupied by us cultivators."

Nian Ranran didn't even need the guidance of the token. He walked lightly with his lotus steps and the fire glow around his body, introducing Nan Xiao as he walked.

If the city wall of Xuanmang Ancient City is the first fortress, then this large mansion with the Demon Locking Tower standing on it is one of the last lines of defense.

Nan Xiao was surprised. She naturally knew what it meant to be able to live here.

But she couldn't understand. According to Li Tianbao's description, the lord of Xuanmang Ancient City was of high moral character. Would he be willing to let dignitaries stay here?
She expressed the questions in her mind, but Nian Ranran looked surprised.

"No way! No way! Didn't Brother Tianbao tell you that the construction of our city, the cleaning of the remains of monsters and beasts in the wild, etc., were all done by those dignitaries who hired laborers. In other words , those dignitaries paid a sufficient price to live here, and it has nothing to do with the subjective wishes of the city lord. Moreover, the city lord may not necessarily care about these things. Some people do it spontaneously, and it has been established by convention for thousands of years! "

Nian Ranran's voice is childish, but she pretends to be old-fashioned, which is very cute.

"Jiaojiao, have you met the city lord?"

Nan Xiao has not seen the city lord until now, not even his back.

"At that time, all my fellow disciples who were fighting in Nanling ran away out of fear, and I was the only one left to face the evil dragon in the Dao Palace realm... I was saved by the city lord."

Nian Ranran pouted, a little sad, and then said sweetly: "Our city lord is the prince who saved me from fire and water, and I am his princess."

She felt embarrassed after saying this, and quickly dragged Nan Xiao towards the other side pointed by the jade sign.

"Sister Nan Xiao, you have to remember that in the Red Mansion, all backgrounds are irrelevant. No one will be afraid of your origin and origin, so don't do stupid things. In the Red Mansion, fighting is allowed but not allowed. Fight to the death, but the cultivation of useless people is okay. If you are not particularly confident in your own strength, don't go to the second floor... There are monsters there, and their strength is almost as strong as those of our outstanding disciples in Dongtian." Nian Ranran Seeing the red building close at hand, he quickly whispered.

"Don't think you can do it anymore. On the second floor alone, there are dozens of people in the realm of Shenqiao. As for the third floor, they are in the realm of Dao Palace. Nowadays, Xuanmang Ancient City and Nanling Eight Thousands of miles away, apart from the city lord and the Heavenly Demon from Nanling, the Dao Palace realm is still considered the highest." Nian Ranran's voice was low, and it was obvious that she felt a little depressed.Nan Xiao was a little surprised.

Although she heard Li Tianbao say half a year ago that Xuanmang Ancient City was deliberately targeted and all the powerful people were removed, is it so rare that even cultivators in the Dao Palace are so scarce now?

This is the ancient city of Xuanmang that once shone through the ages!

He was a little confused, and felt more and more that he was trapped in a quagmire, and a bloody storm seemed to be coming soon.

He came here to avoid danger and seek opportunities for breakthrough, but once the danger exceeds imagination, Nan Xiao needs to think carefully before making other plans.

The antique red high-rise building in front of me looks very good, reaching into the sky. I can't tell how many floors it has.

It has been recorded in ancient books that the Demon Locking Tower has ten floors, but now Nan Xiao can only see the first three floors clearly, and the ones after that have no luster and have no shape.

"The first floor is for eating, and the second floor is the place of cultivation for cultivators of the Wheel and Sea Realm. It is now occupied by those people. As for the third floor, there is also a threshold. Only cultivators with the combat power of the Dao Palace Realm can enter...The tall buildings after that, It has been blocked for several years, so I don’t know.”

Nian Ranran didn't hesitate this time and took Nan Xiao directly into the Suo Yao Red Mansion.

Nan Xiao silently observed Nian Ranran and learned the lesson well. She ordered a few dishes and then waited for them to be served.

While waiting, Nan Xiao looked at other tables. There were seven or eight people devouring their food. They were not weak in cultivation, and the bloody clothes on their bodies did not look old.

Presumably they have all gone out of the city to kill demons.

After repeatedly confirming that Nan Xiao was going to go upstairs, Nian Ranran still didn't agree with Nan Xiao's decision. In her opinion, the second floor was a dragon's pool and a tiger's den that could eat people.

However, Nian Ranran did not dissuade Nan Xiao too much. He only briefly explained the situation and specific realm of the few cultivators who occupied the place, and then gave Nan Xiao some precautions.

"Eat up. Sister, you are a newcomer. If you go up there later, someone will attack you. They are really bad!"

Nian Ranran had a lively personality, but when she thought about accompanying Nan Xiao upstairs later, her pretty face turned bitter and she looked unhappy.

Feeling the fluctuation of spiritual power upstairs, Nan Xiao thought in her heart that she might have something to play with this time.

After eating and drinking, Nan Xiao followed Nian Ranran to the second floor.

------------

"Oops, the little spark from Zhujudongtian is here again. Who do you want to challenge this time?"

A high-pitched voice sounded, and a strange-looking man hugged his chest and leaned lazily on the stairs, squinting and joking.

"Hey, there's another new one? Ouch! She's really good-looking, even more beautiful than our Fairy Xie Changge from Longmen Cave!"

This man looks very unique.

Obviously none of the facial features are good-looking, but the combination is so harmonious that it turns the ugly into a strange one.

But it was his eyes that were not only small and slanted, but also protruded outward.

If you shine a beam of light on this man's face at night, it will definitely scare passers-by.

"You all know the rules, right? Anyone who wants to leave a name on the second floor and practice for a long time must challenge three people here. These three people have the cultivation level of one level below, the same level, and one level above. Of course, if you fight three people in a row, The field is too destructive to itself, but don’t worry, our Demon Locking Red Building is engraved with a spirit gathering formation, which can absorb the spiritual energy of heaven and earth hidden in the void, which is enough for you to recover. As long as you can win two games, you are qualified to win in Training on the second floor. This little Xingxingzi next to me has never won a game in this little half a year."

This unique-looking man spoke calmly, and while hitting Nian Ranran, he looked expectantly at Nan Xiao's reaction.

No wonder Nian Ranran doesn't like this place.

Nan Xiao understood, and then said calmly: "Yes, I agree. Do you want to start now?"

"Clap! Clap! Clap!"

The strange-faced man was quite surprised. He stared at Nan Xiao with his slanted and protruding eyes, clapped his hands happily, and shouted loudly with a broken gong's voice——

"Brothers, here comes the new guy, he has something to play with this time, prepare to unload a good load!"
