Chapter 1044: First Come First Served

Xiao Mian searched the Fengheng Palace again, but found nothing.

It seems that the purpose of the entire Fengheng Palace's existence is to deliver that purple thunder feather to one of the descendants of the Eight Meridians.

Of course, there are also those golden pillars that highlight the life of Demon Lord Lei Peng...

Speaking of those golden pillars, the one that Xiao Mian saw before the little holy monk was already the third to last one. Out of curiosity, Xiao Mian wanted to read the last two golden pillars.

On the penultimate golden pillar, the once magnificent female cultivator in purple clothes was already old. However, in the arms of the female cultivator in purple clothes, there was an infant in swaddling clothes.

Xiao Mian didn't know why, so he moved to the last golden pillar.

The strange thing is that there is no figure of Demon Lord Lei Peng on the last golden pillar.

Empty, like a blank sheet of paper.

Unwilling to give up, Xiao Mian used his spirit-peeping eyes to scan the golden pillar - he didn't believe that Demon Lord Lei Peng would arrange a blank golden pillar here!

Sure enough, with the help of the spiritual spy, Xiao Mian discovered something fishy.

But it was not a pattern like before, but a verse.

You were born before I was born, but I was already old after you were born. You hate that I was born late, and I hate that you were born early.

I was not born before you were born, but you were already old when you were born. we live far away from each other.

Just these two lines of inscriptions were engraved on the golden pillar.

Before Xiao Mian could think about it for a moment, his expression suddenly changed, and he hurriedly rushed towards the entrance of Fengheng Palace - someone was coming from outside!

When he arrived at the entrance of Feng Heng Palace, Xiao Mian did not open the palace door immediately - the palace door of Feng Heng Palace was just ajar, and Xiao Mian just stood on the inside of the palace door.

While not paying attention, Xiao Mian secretly used the Divine Mirror and the Vacuum Shadowless Cui to the extreme, hiding his traces as much as possible.

Back then under the Huangtian River, Xiao Mian used the Divine Mirror and the Shadowless Vacuum to avoid the detection of the God of Thunder and Yama. Now in the Lei Peng Demon Mansion, Xiao Mian is naturally more confident: whoever enters this place and sees the sky No one will subconsciously think that they are the first to arrive, and their attention will be captured by the majestic Thunder God Palace.

So hidden, Xiao Mian looked outside.

I saw a white robe and a mask with a ghost head - the God of Thunder!

Not only was there the God of Thunder, but there was another person who Xiao Mian didn't know. He was holding a compass in his hand and was constantly detecting something.

But at this moment, another person walked out of another passage.

Seeing that person, it was Xiao Mian's temperament, and he was alert for no reason.

His pupils condensed, and Xiao Mian finally resisted the urge to break out of the door.

Although the fluctuation of the aura at that moment may have been noticed by the God of Thunder, Xiao Mian had no intention of closing the door of Fengheng Palace - as long as the door was closed, even the God of Thunder had divine consciousness and could not see his whereabouts, and he You can enter and exit freely.

The reason why Xiao Mian didn't do that was because he wanted to see whether the newcomer was a human or a ghost!

The man had an outstanding appearance and a graceful figure. He was dressed in gauze clothes with fluttering robes. Although his face was covered with a veil, Xiao Mian had already recognized the identity of the person.

Fairy Qingcheng——Gu Qingcheng!

This woman is indeed not dead!

When the incident in Dahuai Village broke out that day, Xiao Mian secretly asked Fu Xigui to search for traces of Gu Qingcheng in Yanshi City through Lingxi Weiyu. From the appearance of Ling Tianfeng, Pei Qingyi and others, Xiao Mian smelled Gu Qingcheng's aura and had to be careful.

Unfortunately, Fu Xigui found nothing in the end.

Unexpectedly, Gu Qingcheng appeared in Lei Peng Demon Mansion today.

It’s really—the ghost is still lingering!

If Gu Qingcheng was the only one coming, Xiao Mian wouldn't mind destroying the flowers with his own hands.

However, the two Thunder Gods got there first. If Xiao Mian intended to kill Gu Qingcheng, Thunder God would never let him get his way - even though Lei Shen and Gu Qingcheng had nothing to do with each other.

With the God of Thunder looking around, Xiao Mian was not sure of his ability to kill Gu Qingcheng with his sword, so it would be better to hide aside and wait for the opportunity.

To take a step back, if he goes out, Lei Shen and Gu Qingcheng may join forces to deal with him, Xiao Mian. If he doesn't go out, maybe Lei Shen will help him kill Gu Qingcheng!

Xiao Mian only wanted Gu Qingcheng to die. As for whose hands he died, what did it matter?

After pressing Xiao Mian's words, Lei Shen and Gu Qingcheng were facing each other from afar outside Feng Heng Hall.

"Unexpectedly: Fairy Qingcheng is also a person who is proficient in Qimen's escape method?" Thunder God, facing Gu Qingcheng, his eyes flickered and murderous: "The reason why I am able to be one step ahead of others is because my Lei Zhen Palace has no control over Lei Peng Yao. The government is determined to win, and has done the most detailed intelligence collection work, and even invited this Taoist friend who is proficient in magic!"

"Thunder God's face! My little sister won't hide it! I, the Gu family, was also one of the eight descendants of Demon Lord Lei Peng, so..."

"Shut up!" But the person who accompanied the Thunder God stared into Gu Qingcheng's eyes and shouted sternly: "The Eight Demon Lords: Zheng Kong, Otan Ding, Tuoba Shen and Tu Ming, when did you come to the Gu family? You lied Forget about others, you still want to lie to me? "

"You! Are you...?"

"Hmph! I, Zheng Tingjian, is the heir to the Eight Meridians you call me, Nvwa! And he is the heir to the Zheng family, the head of the Eight Meridians!"

"..."

"Xianzi Gu!"

"Thor! Listen to my explanation... Damn it!"

Just when Gu Qingcheng said this, the God of Thunder had already launched an attack.

Facing the Thunder God's attack, Gu Qingcheng had to retreat again and again. Finally, she turned around and fled into the passage she came from before and disappeared.

Under the threat of death from the God of Thunder, Gu Qingcheng chose to retreat.

Seeing this, Lei Shen breathed a sigh of relief.

According to the information collected by Lei Zhen Palace, once the cultivator retreats from these eight channels, he will be teleported back to the starting point of the Eight Gates Golden Lock Array. Although he did not kill Gu Qingcheng this time, it would take a lot of effort for Gu Qingcheng to come back.

Before that, Lei Shen wants to find out the truth about the Lei Peng Demon Mansion!

"Senior Zheng! What's wrong?"

"..., it's hard to say!"

"It's hard to say? Humph! Senior Zheng didn't say that before! In my Lei Zhen Palace, Senior Zheng said that this Lei Peng Demon Mansion was originally built under the supervision of your Zheng family's ancestors. Your Zheng family knows the Lei Peng Demon Mansion very well, right?"

"This... is indeed the case! Among the eight descendants of Lei Peng Demon Lord, my Zheng family is definitely the first one who deserves it. But... but the formation and mechanism of Lei Peng Demon Mansion were built by the Ou family and the Tan family. For a while..."

"One hour! I'll give you one hour. If you can't crack the access control of Lei Shen Palace, Senior Zheng, you will stay here to guard the spirit of Lei Peng Demon Lord!"

"You! I know..."

This Zheng Tingjian used to take advantage of his seniority to Gu Qingcheng, but in fact he was just an ordinary Jindan mid-level cultivator. He took a secret medicine prepared for him by Lei Zhen Palace before, which was lucky enough to improve his cultivation to the Jindan high-level realm.

His Zheng family has long been in decline!

If it weren't for the birth of the Thunder Peng Demon Mansion, relying on the piece of Thunder Peng Demon Feather left by the Zheng family to sell to the Lei Zhen Palace, Zheng Tingjian would never have been able to reach this place.

After receiving the ultimatum from the Thunder God, Zheng Tingjian worked hard...

The Thunder God, on the contrary, was doing nothing.

In the bright eyes behind the ghost mask, there was a faint flicker of lightning. The Thunder God just stood in front of the Thunder God Palace, staring at the Thunder God Palace.

It was as if he didn't see the existence of the four side halls at all!

But at this time, the palace gate of Fengheng Palace, one of the four side halls ignored by the Thunder God, slowly opened from the inside out.

As soon as the palace gate moved, the Thunder God was aware of it.

Seeing Xiao Mian walk out of Fengheng Palace calmly, even the Thunder God couldn't help but change his face - he never thought: someone was one step ahead of him!

Although Xiao Mian had a flaw when he met Gu Qingcheng before, his divine mirror and vacuum shadowless skills were becoming more and more advanced, and Lei Shen focused most of his energy on Lei Shen Palace, and a small part of his energy on Gu Qingcheng, so he didn't notice Xiao Mian's existence.

Xiao Mian didn't care about that. Seeing Lei Shen forced Gu Qingcheng away, Xiao Mian walked out of Feng Heng Palace.

The two looked at each other and fought without saying a word.

In this situation, there is no point in saying more!

On the contrary, Zheng Tingjian, who was trying his best to crack the gate of Lei Shen Palace, was startled by Xiao Mian's sudden appearance: he never thought that someone was faster than him!

Zheng Tingjian's previous words were not all false.

His Zheng family ancestor was indeed ranked first among the eight-lineage pets under the name of Lei Peng Yao Zun, and this Lei Peng Yao Mansion was indeed built under the supervision of the Zheng family.

However, as he and Lei Shen explained, the formations and mechanisms of Lei Peng Yao Mansion were arranged by the Ou family and the Tan family.

Could it be that the first comer is actually the descendant of the Ou and Tan families?

Seeing him coming out of Fengheng Palace, could it be that he has already received a great benefit?

Thinking of this, watching Xiao Mian and Lei Shen fighting, Zheng Tingjian wished that the two would die together so that he could sit on the mountain and watch the fight.

Regardless of how Zheng Tingjian had ulterior motives, Xiao Mian and Lei Shen were fighting fiercely.

Lei Shen was certainly puzzled by the appearance of Xiao Mian, but this did not prevent Lei Shen from wanting to kill Xiao Mian - Lei Peng Demon Mansion, isn't it the best place to kill people and rob goods? At worst, he will deal with the old guy Zheng Tingjian later!

Although Lei Shen was very murderous, Xiao Mian was also very eager to fight.

Xiao Mian did not have the intention to kill Lei Shen, after all, the two did not have direct grievances, but for Xiao Mian, Lei Shen was undoubtedly the most suitable opponent.

Only a strong opponent like Lei Shen could force Xiao Mian into a desperate situation.

Only when he is in a desperate situation, Xiao Mian's potential and potential will be maximized, and then, it is possible to break the bottleneck and break through smoothly.

Of course, the premise is that Xiao Mian is not dead!

A few years ago, in the battle of Dahuai Village, Xiao Mian was able to compete with Yan Mo.

At that time, Yan Mo and Lei Shen were equally strong. In other words, the strength of Xiao Mian and Lei Shen should be on par. But this is Lei Peng Demon Mansion after all, full of pure thunder attribute spiritual energy, just like the Five Elements Secret Realm in the Zulong Residence to Xiao Mian.

Lei Peng Demon Mansion is Lei Shen's home court.

Lei Shen also thinks so, so he is very confident in killing Xiao Mian.

However, after a test, Lei Shen's face became worse and worse.

Just because Xiao Mian is more slippery than when he was in Dahuai Village a few years ago...

This is not Xiao Mian's fault!

It should be noted that Lei Shen has reached the peak that a Jindan cultivator can reach. He can transcend the tribulation at any time. He only appeared as a Jindan cultivator in order to suppress his cultivation and participate in the Tiandu Martial Arts Conference. In other words, at least within the level of Jindan cultivators, Lei Shen can no longer make progress. He has reached the peak of Jindan cultivators.

But Xiao Mian is different!

Although Xiao Mian did not successfully break through to the top level of the Golden Core after several years of retreat, his true essence was polished and mellowed. At the same time, Xiao Mian's "The Curse of Ten Thousand Poisons" and "The Great Method of Soul Separation" were not for show. While he could not break through in Qi training, Xiao Mian made considerable progress in body and spirit training.

For example, in the "The Curse of Ten Thousand Poisons", Xiao Mian melted some high-level poisons into his body more than once during his years of retreat, enhancing his body training.

One was conservative and the other was brave and diligent. Comparing the two, if it were not for the favorable environment of the Thunder Peng Demon Mansion, the Thunder God might have been defeated...

Defeat! ?

As soon as this word appeared in the mind of the Thunder God, he was furious for no reason.

If he, the Thunder God, was defeated by Yama, even by Li Jingnian, he could accept it. After all, those two were the only two people in Jizhou Realm and Huaxia Realm who could be on par with the Thunder God. If nothing unexpected happened, the three of them would be the masters of the three realms in the future!

It was normal to have occasional wins and losses.

But who was he, Xiao Mian! ?

He was just an unknown person from Nanyue State!

He was just a brat who dared to act arrogantly because he had the support of Wan Zongsheng!

Lost to him? I'd rather die than not!
