Chapter 159: Zhongzhou Yujianmen, completed the assessment? Elder Mu Gu: It is impossible to complete!After arriving in Fengcheng, Nie Yuan contacted Guardian Wu through Guardian Tie and learned that Guardian Wu would take another week to arrive.
After discussing it, the two decided to go to the Valley Soul Palace where Guardian Xuan lived first.
Because he will be taking over the Black Horn Region in the future, the Iron Protector needs to make some arrangements first and integrate the remaining Soul Palace forces in the Black Horn Region.
Although the two did not ask much along the way, they still obtained a lot of information about the Black Horn Region.
Now it has only been half a year since Nie Yuan left the Black Horn Region.
With the demise of Han Feng, the two elders Jin and Yin, Fan Lao and others, the forces in the Black Horn region underwent major changes.
Among them, a force called Xiaomen rose the fastest.
In addition, the Xiao Clan also cooperated with Canaan College, constantly attacking and clearing out those who participated in Han Feng's attack on Canaan College in the Black Horn Region.
In addition to some newly emerging forces, there are also old forces that quickly came to Maple City, Black Seal City and other areas to seize territory.
Among them, the Demon Flame Valley and the Black Emperor Pavilion are the most powerful among the old forces.
Despite the uproar in the Black Horn Region, Nie Yuan remained calm.
After arriving at your destination.
Nie Yuan looked at the Iron Guardian, "I suddenly thought of something, can the Guardian help me?"
The Iron Guardian who was looking around the black hall turned around and said, "Xiao Clan, eh? This is easy, leave it to me."
Iron Protector had heard about the conflict between the Yunlan Sect and the Xiao Family. It was just a new force, so it would be very easy for him to resolve it.
"You misunderstood. I don't care about those remnants of the Xiao family at all."
Nie Yuan shook his head. With his own strength, it would be very easy for him to kill the remaining members of the Xiao family. The reason he didn't do it was that he felt it was unnecessary.
Facing the doubt in Iron Guardian's eyes, he continued, "I want you to keep an eye out for news about Bodhi Transformation Saliva in the Black Horn Region."
Bodhi Body Transformation Saliva is a key link in the method of controlling the poison pill. As far as I can remember, in the original book, Bodhi Body Transformation Saliva appeared in the Black Horn Region.
Although he knew this information, he was not sure about the exact time, and it was impossible for him to stay in the Black Horn Region for a long time.
Therefore, it would be best to leave this matter to the Iron Protector.
"No problem. If it appears, I will help you get it and notify you to come and pick it up."
The Iron Protector nodded in agreement.
For the next two days, Nie Yuan stayed in this Soul Palace.
Later, the protector Wu sent a message, asking Nie Yuan to go and meet him.
In order to save time, Protector Wu didn't even plan to come to Fengcheng.
Seeing that the protector Wu was so anxious, Nie Yuan didn't want to delay any longer and set out directly from the Soul Palace.
Even after leaving for a distance, in order to speed up his journey, Nie Yuan simply used his emotional points to exchange for a hundred years of cultivation.
[Name: Nie Yuan]

【Fighting Skills:

……
Scanning the information on the panel, Nie Yuan murmured, "After a hundred years of cultivation, I am only a five-star Dou Zun. My skills are at the intermediate level of the heavenly rank, and my talent is not weak."
Sometimes, a part of the information can reveal the whole.
If it takes such a long time to accumulate experience from Dou Zong to Dou Zun, then I am afraid that the amount of cultivation required for each upgrade of Dou Sheng will be even greater.
"Fortunately, I won the Dou Zun Breakthrough Pill early on, otherwise, I would have to invest hundreds of years of cultivation just to reach the Nine-Turn Dou Zun stage."
The thought flashed through his mind, and Nie Yuan felt somewhat relieved.
At least before breaking through to the Dou Di level, he only needs to consider how to obtain more emotional points. As for the rewards in the turntable pool, they are not important.
"After this assessment, even if I get a qualified identity in the Soul Palace, it will not only solve the teacher's hidden danger, but also erase the fault of killing Xuan Guardian."
After his strength reached the level of Dou Zun, Nie Yuan could feel the changes between heaven and earth, and was full of confidence in completing the Soul Palace assessment.
After all, he was only participating in the guardian assessment.
With the Turtle Breathing Technique brought by the Black Tortoise Beast God, Nie Yuan was not worried about his true strength being discovered.
"If you really want to go to Zhongzhou, take the magic core of the Scorpio Poison Dragon Beast as well."
Nie Yuan raised his hand and gently drew a line forward. A crack appeared in the void and a wild roar could not wait to come out from it.
The green flames enveloped Nie Yuan's body, condensing into a tortoise shell shadow.
Ignoring the spatial turbulence inside, Nie Yuan stepped into it. The gap recovered after Nie Yuan disappeared.
……
In a forest a few hundred meters away from a city.
On top of one of the tallest trees, there was a thick darkness that seemed unable to penetrate even light.
A pair of red lights looked around.
"It will take at least half a month to get here from Fengcheng. I've only been gone for three days, and Nie Yuan actually said he wanted to meet up with me. How is that possible? He must be several times faster than me."
In the treetops, the guardian Wu kept searching for Nie Yuan.
After receiving the message from Nie Yuan, he chose this location as the meeting place for the two of them.
Now half an hour has passed, and Nie Yuan has not appeared.
hum!
Suddenly, the jade slip vibrated.
"I have arrived."
Guardian Wu scanned the information above.
Just as he was about to respond and ask where Nie Yuan was, he suddenly felt a heat wave surging towards him.
In the firelight, a young man walked out. It was Nie Yuan.
How did he find me?
Protector Wu was slightly stunned and a little horrified. After not seeing him for a few months, Nie Yuan seemed to have become stronger.
Even though he was hiding in the treetops, he actually used the methods of the Soul Palace, so it would be difficult for even a peak Dou Zong to notice him.
But just at the moment when the jade slip vibrated, Nie Yuan actually came directly over!
"Long time no see, Guardian Wu."
Nie Yuan stood in the void, his eyes meeting the red light in the black fog.
"You came quickly, faster than I expected."
There was a brief silence, and the guardian Wu adjusted his mood before speaking.
"You urged me so urgently, and the Iron Guardian said it might have something to do with my assessment, so I naturally tried my best to come here."
Nie Yuan replied.
A hint of curiosity flashed across his face. "Guardian Wu, what exactly is the assessment task that the Soul Palace has assigned to me?"
"We'll talk as we go. Follow me."
The guardian duck rushed into the sky and shot in one direction.
Nie Yuan followed the other person's gaze and then followed him.
After he was on par with the guardian Wu, he asked, "Where are we going now?"
"Tianya City, there is a space wormhole leading to Zhongzhou. Going to Zhongzhou through the wormhole is the fastest way."
The guardian Wu answered.
"The location of the test is in Zhongzhou? It seems that the Iron Guardian really guessed it."
Nie Yuan was stunned.
"You'd better be mentally prepared for this assessment. Let me make it clear in advance that I am not cheating you. The specific assessment requirements are arranged by the Venerable. I am just a guardian."
Guardian Wu specifically emphasized that he was afraid that Nie Yuan would give up and kill him after hearing that he might have to face Dou Zun.
Nie Yuan nodded.
Dharma Protector Wu then continued, "The test that the Venerable has arranged for you is to go to a sect in Zhongzhou called the Jade Sword Sect to collect souls. As long as you can collect all the souls, you will pass and become the Dharma Protector of our Soul Palace."
"Jade Sword Sect? I've never heard of this name. Is it stronger or weaker than the Sifang Pavilion?"
This was the first time Nie Yuan had heard of this sect. "It's just a small sect."
Guardian Wu said this, but then immediately changed his words, "Of course, this is in Zhongzhou, which is many times stronger than the Yunlan Sect. They have a Dou Zun in their sect."
"Dou Zun? Is his soul also within the scope of my mission?"
Nie Yuan stared at the protector Wu, a dangerous light flashing in his eyes.
"No, don't worry and don't let your imagination run wild."
Guardian Wu said quickly, "The Jade Sword Sect had previously offended someone. Now that person has been promoted to Dou Zun, he has blocked the Jade Sword Sect for half a year. He will then take action against the Jade Sword Sect, and your mission is to collect as many soul bodies as possible."
The fierce light in Nie Yuan's eyes subsided slightly.
This is more like it. On the surface, my strength is only Dou Zong. If I am directly asked to face Dou Zun, it means that the Soul Palace Master is targeting me.
"Who is that Dou Zun blocking the door? What's his strength?"
Nie Yuan asked.
"I don't know his exact name, but people in Zhongzhou call him Iron Sword Master. He is currently only a two-star Dou Zun."
Dharma Protector Wu must have learned about it in advance and answered without thinking.
Two stars?
Nie Yuan nodded slightly. It was no problem. If the other party got in the way, he could kill him.
I saw a look of relief flash across Nie Yuan's face.
The guardian Wu quickly reminded him, "You must not be careless."
Nie Yuan was puzzled, "Why?"
"Because this Iron Sword Venerable is hostile to our Soul Palace. Do you know Yao Chen, the Yao Chen Venerable? He once helped Iron Sword Venerable. After Yao Chen was chased by our Soul Palace, this Iron Sword Venerable began to be hostile to the Soul Palace. If you collect soul bodies, he will definitely recognize you as someone from our Soul Palace."
The guardian Wu explained.
When he said this, his tone was also cautious.
Because at this point, anyone who is not a fool can definitely feel the difficulty of this assessment task, which is definitely not something a guardian should face.
Imagine a Dou Zun who is hostile to the Soul Palace, and the Soul Palace arranges people to collect soul bodies.
No matter how careful a Dou Zong is, it is difficult for him to escape the perception of a Dou Zun.
Once discovered, the consequences can be imagined.
Nie Yuan hesitated for a moment, "What is the name of the venerable who assigned me the task?"
Originally, Protector Wu didn't want to speak.
However, as Nie Yuan stared at him without blinking, he suddenly felt extremely pressured, and even had the illusion that he was facing the gaze of Venerable Qinghai and Venerable Mugu.
Dharma Protector Wu said helplessly, "It's Venerable Mu Gu."
"Venerable Mu Gu?"
When Nie Yuan repeated it, it sounded a little strange.
"Venerable Mu Gu is nicknamed Old Man Mu Gu in Zhongzhou."
The guardian Wu said.
It turned out to be him? !
When Nie Yuan heard what old man Mu Gu said, his eyes quickly flashed with understanding, and he vaguely knew the reason why this assessment was arranged for him.
"Don't worry, as long as you can pass the assessment and become a guardian, Venerable Mu Gu will also have to abide by the rules of the Soul Palace."
The guardian Wu comforted him.
It is normal to feel uncomfortable and under pressure when being targeted by a Dou Zun.
Nie Yuan didn't say anything.
The two of them remained silent all the way. After arriving at Tianya City, they paid to board the spaceship and began to travel through the wormhole.
The two months of travel were boring, but fortunately nothing unexpected happened in the space wormhole.
Nie Yuan arrived in Zhongzhou safely.
Later, under the guidance of the protector Wu, the two came to a mountain range called Yulin, where the Jade Sword Sect was located.
Around a towering mountain, there were shadowy figures, everyone was talking in a flurry, their eyes occasionally sweeping across a figure sitting cross-legged on a giant sword in the sky.
"The date set by Master Iron Sword seems to be today."
"I'm afraid the leader of the Jade Sword Sect didn't expect that the Iron Sword Master would come for revenge one day."
"Yes, I heard that if the Iron Sword Master hadn't met the Medicine Master, he would have died long ago. Now that he is alive, it is naturally the Jade Sword Sect that will be in trouble."
"In the past few months, almost all the disciples of the Jade Sword Sect have returned, but they have to face a Dou Zun. No matter how many people there are, it will be useless if they are not strong enough."
Nie Yuan stood at the very outside of the crowd, not attracting anyone else's attention, and listened silently to their conversation.
There is never a shortage of people watching the fun, and the same is true in Zhongzhou.
After listening for a while, Nie Yuan understood that today was the deadline given by Master Tiejian to Jade Sword Sect.
"It's a close call. If it was a day or two later, I probably wouldn't have made it in time."
Nie Yuan was secretly shocked. If he missed this opportunity, Soul Palace might not give him a second chance. And he had killed Protector Xuan, so he might have to face the Soul Palace's venerable for accountability.
Although Nie Yuan was not afraid of the Soul Palace Venerable, if he killed him, there would definitely be a lot of troubles afterwards.
As my thoughts were wandering, a commotion suddenly broke out, screams came one after another, and then a sense of terror filled the air.
Nie Yuan raised his head and gazed up into the air.
The old man who was originally sitting on the iron sword stood up, stepped on the void with his feet, and the huge iron sword lying horizontally rose up, and the hilt fell into the old man's palm.
"Jade Sword Sect...back then you..."
The old man's voice was hoarse and full of vicissitudes as he recounted the grievances and disputes between himself and the Jade Sword Sect.
"Stop talking nonsense. If I could kill you once, I, the Jade Sword Sect, can kill you a second time!"
A majestic voice was heard from the gate of Yujianmen.
At the same time, a huge light shield rose up, covering the mountain and the sect.
The fighting spirit around the bodies of many elders and disciples surged, emitting colorful light.
At the top of the light shield, an old man and Master Iron Sword looked at each other from afar, with a stern face and cold eyes.
"Too weak. The gap between each realm of Dou Zun is greater than that of Dou Zong. If the Jade Sword Sect relies on a one-star Dou Zun, then it will definitely lose."
Nie Yuan saw through the other party's strength at a glance, and began to feel sorry for the Jade Sword Sect.
It is such a big sect, and it is developing in Zhongzhou. The things in the sect must be richer than those in the Yunlan Sect. I can't miss it.
In the sky, Master Iron Sword said nothing. He just raised the iron sword in his hand and chopped it down towards the gate of Jade Sword Sect in a plain and ordinary manner.
laugh!
A sword energy emerged from the sword blade, only half the size of an adult's arm. After emerging from the tip of the sword, it shot towards the Jade Sword Gate at a rapid speed.
boom!
In an instant, the sword energy collided with the light curtain, and the light curtain trembled violently. Water-wave-like ripples spread from the point of contact and spread throughout the entire light curtain.
The light curtain seemed to block the sword energy.
However, the next second, the light curtain suddenly exploded and turned into surging energy that swept in all directions.
The people who were watching from all sides were blown away by the strong energy and cried out in pain.
The Iron Sword Master has already charged into the Jade Sword Sect with his sword in hand.
at the same time.
In the chaos, no one noticed the gradually rising heat in the air.
At a high altitude farther away from the mountain, above the clouds, two figures were looking down like gods.
"Reverend Tiejian is very powerful. If he is given some more time to grow, he might be able to catch up with Feng Xian."
Reverend Qinghai turned his head and said to Old Man Mu Gu.
The latter nodded and said, "Yao Chen's popularity and luck are indeed quite good."
"Nie Yuan has arrived. I saw him just now, but now he is gone again."
Reverend Qinghai turned his gaze, a hint of surprise flashed across his face, "Do you think he can complete the test?"
"It can't be done!"
Old man Mu Gu spoke in a decisive and confident tone.
"His movements were a bit strange, even I couldn't track him right away. Tie Jian isn't much stronger than me."
The Qinghai Venerable said.
"That's not what I meant. I never wanted him to complete the assessment from the beginning."
Old man Mu Gu met the gaze of Venerable Qinghai and gave a cold smile.
