Sword Tomb

After eating the last bit of the meat, even the bones were eaten. His fingers lit up as he drank two more mouthfuls of wine. He squinted his eyes and lazily lied on a rocking chair as if he wanted to continue drinking.

One side was very relaxed, while the other side was in an uproar.

Boom — —

With a loud bang, the disciples of the Free and Unrestrained Sect looked toward the back of the mountain. The back mountain had always been a forbidden area of the Free and Unrestrained Sect, and it was where several sect protection elders went into seclusion.

The Sect Leader, Yan Yi, was sitting cross-legged on a praying mat with his eyes closed. He was chewing continuously with an extremely satisfied expression. The back of the mountain shook. The Sect Leader suddenly opened his eyes and disappeared.

At the back of the mountain, the cuckoo burst out of the ground with a murderous look on her face. Looking down from the hole on the ground, she found that there was a special cave below.

Before the dust settled, three figures flew out from the hole. It was Qing Ze, Xuan Lu and Bai Hong.

"Fourth sister, why are you so angry when you're closed? Big brother, I was so shocked." Bai Hong asked in a loud voice.

My fire sparrow is gone. The two eggs it laid are also gone." Zhu Ge's expression was one of anxiety, but more of killing intent.

"If you can't find it, then send someone to look for it. What's the point of igniting such a huge fire and destroying the underground palace? Your Fire Sparrow loves to wander around everywhere. It's possible that it went wandering around randomly again today." Bai Hong spoke once more.

"Fourth sister, look again." Qingze said.

"Big brother, the connection with the Fire Bird has been broken."

"Where did it break?" Qingze frowned.

"He's in the Free and Unrestrained Sect."

"We can't overlook this matter. The Fire Bird is one of the spirit beasts from the Free and Unrestrained Sect that protects the mountain. It is already at the late stage of the Building Force and can be considered a great assistance. We have to investigate and find out!" Qingze opened his mouth and spoke in a loud and clear voice.

"Martial Uncle, what happened?" The Sect Leader appeared and couldn't help but ask as he looked at the hole in the ground.

"Your Junior Martial Uncle's Fire Bird is gone, and the two eggs are also gone." Qing Ze said with a cold expression. Hearing this, the Sect Leader's expression slightly changed and he swallowed a mouthful of saliva.

"Yan Yi, what do you know?" Noticing the Sect Leader's change, Qing Ze asked. The other three people turned their heads and stared at the Sect Leader, their eyes causing one's hair to stand on end.

The Sect Leader's complexion suddenly returned to normal as he shook his head, "I don't know." Where was the last time senior uncle broke his connection with the Fire Bird? "

"At the bottom of the main mountain." Zhu Ge stared at the Sect Leader with a cold and sinister gaze. His wrinkled face seemed to be covered in a layer of frost.

"Yan Yi, that fire sparrow is my lifeline, so I suggest you not to hide anything. If you don't report this, don't blame me for not recognizing you. Even if I can't beat you, I will make you lose a lot of your strength."

"Fourth Sister!" She just spoke some nonsense in a flurry of anger. That Fire Sparrow had saved your Junior Master before, and to the Free and Unrestrained Sect, it was only a help, but to your Junior Martial Uncle, it was her life saving benefactor. Its meaning was extraordinary. "

"Martial Uncle must be joking. How could he be angry at the Junior Martial Uncle? I can understand the feelings the Junior Martial Uncle has. I will send someone to find the Fire Bird right now." With these words, the Sect Leader disappeared in a flash.

"We'll go look for it again. Maybe the Fire Bird is still there." Qing Ze said with a trace of hope. The four of them turned into four beams of light and dashed in all directions.

Within Xiao Yao Palace, the Sect Leader appeared. His complexion wasn't too good as he turned around and entered a side hall. This side hall was where the Sect Leader's direct disciples trained.

"Ping'er." The Sect Leader called out but no one answered. He pushed open the door and entered the room. Ping'er was sleeping soundly on the bed with her limbs spread out. However, her face was flushed red and her body was exuding a white aura, as if she was drunk. The Sect Leader frowned and rushed to Ping'er's side in a flash. He reached out his hand to help Ping'er up.

Wisps of white smoke emerged from the top of Ping'er's head. His complexion gradually recovered, and his eyes became drowsy.

"Master." Ping'er suddenly opened his eyes and looked at the Sect Leader, whose complexion didn't look too good.

"Ping'er, master is asking you, where did you get those two eggs?" The Sect Leader stared into Ping'er's eyes.

"Today I went down the mountain to play. I suddenly smelled a fragrance, so I went to look for it. There was a small pit in the forest with some grass on top. I threw away the grass and saw that it was two eggs.

"Seeing that the two eggs are black, I thought they must be good stuff, so I brought them back for you, Master. I felt very hot eating the egg you gave me, then I fell asleep for some reason." The Sect Leader looked into his eyes. He was the one who had raised Ping'er. To him, the Sect Leader was like his father. He didn't lie to the Sect Leader.

"Did you see anyone else around when you took the egg?" The Sect Leader asked again.

Ping'er thought for a moment and shook her head. "No. Just me." No one saw me when I left. "

"The Sect Leader frowned in thought. Ping'er knows that the Fire Bird is one of the spirit beasts that protects the mountain, so it is impossible for it to steal the Fire Bird. There must be some other reason behind it." What's going on? "

"Autumn Rain." The Sect Leader turned around and called out to him. The moment his voice sounded, there was someone standing at the door. It was the vicious youth Long Chen had seen that day.

"Master."

"Pass down the order to all disciples of the mountain peaks to search for Fire Bird with all their might. Then, the disciples of the mountain peaks are to block the exit and only enter and leave the mountain. I have been searching inch by inch, but I can't find a place to rest. "

"Yes." Qiu Yu still wanted to say something, but the Sect Leader suddenly turned his head, "Quickly go!"

"Yes sir!" The autumn rain retreated.

"What's going on?" The Sect Leader continued to ponder.

At the same time as the cuckoo broke out from the ground, the shaking reached the Tidal Pond Peak. People began to sit up in their rocking chairs. For some reason, their hearts were pounding and their eyes were jumping nonstop. They felt like something bad was about to happen.

The Sharp Scaled Dragon opened its eyes and simultaneously looked towards the back of the mountain where the sound was coming from. The Sharp Scales only took a single glance before closing his eyes. Long Chen looked at that direction and saw that it was only the first sound before it stopped moving. Thus, he closed his eyes and continued meditating.

Free and Unrestrained Hero stretched his back, "That old bastard, Bai Hong, has made such a big commotion again. He's not letting anyone sleep." As he was about to go out to take a look, he glanced at the sharp scales and recalled the taste of the meat. He then smiled at the sharp scales with an old face and said, "I say, can you make us another one later?"

"No." The cold reply from Free and Unrestrained Monk was somewhat embarrassed. It was such a loss of face that he turned to look at Long Chen. "My good disciple .."

"It doesn't matter who begs." Sharp scale replied lazily.

"Why?"

"There's only one chicken in the entire Free and Unrestrained Faction." After saying that, the sharp scales turned into a ghostly light as it shot into Long Chen's arm.

"Impossible, there are many wild chickens in the Free and Unrestrained Faction, how is this possible .." "What?" Free and Unrestrained Hero screamed. His old face was frozen. He finally understood why his eyelids twitched. Damn it, he even wanted to curse. Unfortunately, he didn't have the time to curse.

"One!" Bai Hong descended from the sky, followed by a hearty laugh.

"I knew it was because of you. Can you calm down?" Free and Unrestrained Man said with a smile.

"This time, it's not me, but your martial uncle."

"Junior martial uncle?" What happened to Junior Martial Uncle? " Free and Unrestrained Priestess asked with a caring look on her face.

"Hey!" Your Junior Master said that he had broken off his connection with the Fire Bird and the two eggs were gone as well. Anyway, your Junior Master has gone mad with anxiety and almost started a fight with your Senior Brother, and now all the disciples in the sect are looking for him. Oh, and have you seen the Fire Bird? Bai Hong spoke a lot.

"No, I'll go look for it now. If I find it, I'll definitely send it to my Junior Martial Uncle!" The chest of this unaffiliated person was thumping loudly against his chest.

"That's good, eh? One of them, this must be the disciple that you have accepted, right? " Bai Hong looked at Long Chen. Long Chen opened his eyes and looked at Bai Hong. Bai Hong gave a generous chuckle, and Long Chen smiled back. Then, he closed his eyes.

"Uh, pretty good. As expected of someone from that kind of place, it's just a little cold. Haha, not much. One of the things I remember is coming to Martial Uncle's place, we haven't had a drink for a long time."

"Definitely." Free and Unrestrained Man said with a smile.

"Let's not talk about that anymore. I still need to find that prodigal Fire Bird. Help me find it for your Junior Martial Uncle as well." Bai Hong didn't say anything else. He turned around and left. As he watched Bai Hong leave, Free and Unrestrained Monk let out a long sigh. His eyelids no longer twitched, and his face began to twitch.

"Relentless Thriving moved to Long Chen's side in a flash, and with a wave of his hand, the bones around Long Chen's body turned into dust." It's over, it's all over, that crazy woman will definitely kill me, I can't stay in the Free and Unrestrained Faction any longer, it seems like I'll have to run again after returning, but if I don't run this time, then I'll have to prove that I did it, and then I won't be able to come back to the Free and Unrestrained Faction, unless that crazy woman drives a crane west, what do I do? " Free and Unrestrained Hero knitted his eyebrows as he muttered to himself while twirling on the ground.

"Martial Uncle." Someone had arrived, causing Free and Unrestrained people to turn around. "Autumn Rain!" The change in his expression was appalling.

"My master told the disciples of the various peaks to find the Fire Bird."

"Yes." "Alright, I'll go now." Free and Unrestrained Priestess waved her hand.

"Martial Uncle, my master said to let all the disciples go."

"Mm, I got it. You go and help look for it too." Xiao Yao waved her hand again, but Qiu Yu still did not leave. Instead, she stared at Long Chen.

Long Chen opened his eyes and bumped into Qiu Yu's untamed eyes. Killing intent surged out without restraint. The two stared at each other as if they were natural enemies, and they didn't stop until one of them was dead.

"Go back." His voice turned cold, and his aura suddenly changed.

Before Qiuyu left, she opened her mouth, but did not say anything. Long Chen knew what he was saying.

"Good disciple."

"I'm fine." Long Chen looked at Qiu Yu's back and closed his eyes.

Just as Qiu Yu left, the Sect Leader came back. He coldly stared at Free and Unrestrained, and then said to Long Chen, "Junior Brother, the Fire Bird of the Junior Martial Uncle has disappeared."

"Martial Uncle Bai Hong said so."

"Then junior apprentice-brother, do you know where it is?"

"I don't know."

"Where's Martial Nephew?"

"He's been here the whole time. I don't know."

"Oh?"

"Is there something else?"

"There's nothing else." The Sect Leader took a deep look at Long Chen, who had his eyes closed from start to finish, and flew away. In his heart, he couldn't help but mutter to himself. The fragrance was still in the air, the eggs were still delicious, but there was a slight pain in the eggs. He really didn't know how to explain to Zhu Hong that when he tried to take advantage of Free and Unrestrained Heroes, he didn't find anything out of the ordinary with the Free and Unrestrained Heroes, and neither did Long Chen. The Sect Leader turned around to look at the Rippling Mountain, his intuition telling him that this was the problem.
