Chapter 632 Meeting an Acquaintance in the City

The sword light was in front of him in the blink of an eye.

At this moment, a silver light fell from the sky above the ancient city, and a white talisman paper fell from the silver light.

The white talisman paper blocked Chu Ning's body, absorbing all the sword light and making it disappear.

The sword light dissipated, and the white talisman paper also turned into ashes.

Chu Ning breathed a sigh of relief. He watched the sword light coming, and then saw the white talisman paper appear, blocking the sword light for him.

He didn't know where the white talisman paper came from, but he knew that if there was no white talisman paper, he would really be buried here this time.

"This is a place that only Shanzong disciples can reach. Logically, there should be no crisis. Is it because of the corpses at the city gate?"

Chu Ning frowned and fell into deep thought.

When the mountain peaks cultivated by Shanzong disciples reach 100,000 feet, they can come here, and finally they will walk to the gate of Guishan City.

Shanzong seniors would not leave traps for later Shanzong disciples.

There are only two explanations. One is that an external enemy broke in here, and the predecessors of Shanzong set a trap. The corpses at the door are the external enemies buried here.

Another possibility is that this sword light came from an external enemy, and the purpose was to kill the later followers of Shanzong.

No matter which case it is, it is not good news for Chu Ning.

If it is the former, it means that Shanzong has a powerful enemy, forcing the predecessors of Shanzong to use this method, and even the safety of the later disciples of Shanzong is not taken care of. If it is the latter, it will be even more difficult.

Shanzong suffered a catastrophe, and even the base camp was occupied by the enemy. The sword light was left behind to completely destroy the disciples of Shanzong, leaving Shanzong without successors.

Shanzong is different from other sects. There is no master-student inheritance. As long as you can comprehend the Huashan Jue, that is, the Motionless Mountain Jue, and then give birth to a mountain, you will be considered a disciple of Shanzong, and you don’t need a master to guide you to get started.

In this case, even if the powerful enemies of Shanzong can destroy all the predecessors of Shanzong at that time, they cannot exterminate Shanzong. As long as there are later generations, Shanzong will still exist.

Unable to judge which situation it was, Chu Ning withdrew from his thoughts and looked forward.

There was silence in the ancient city.

Unlike the cities in the northern border and the Cangtian Realm, there were no streets or houses in Guishan City, just a piece of flat land.

However, the flat land in this city was covered with corpses, and there were bloodstains on the ground that were dried but still exuded spirituality.

War!

Chu Ning could imagine how tragic the war had been in this Guishan City.

There were mountains of corpses and seas of blood, and each of them must have been a terrifying existence in his life.

Going forward, Chu Ning found a clue. The scars on these corpses were the same, which meant that these people were killed by the same person in their lives, or more accurately, they were killed by the same method.

Was it the method of the senior Shanzong?

After stepping over this piece of corpses, Chu Ning came to the center of the city. The next moment, his pupils shrank because he saw the source of the sword light that had previously endangered his life.

In the center of Guishan City, there is a mound of earth that is only three meters high, not even a mountain peak, but on this mound is a long sword.

Chu Ning's intuition tells him that the previous sword light was shot from this long sword.

Standing in front of the mound, Chu Ning suddenly felt an inexplicable sadness. This sadness from the depths of his soul made him understand that this mound was probably related to the Shan Sect, and this long sword came from the enemy of the Shan Sect.

Just as Chu Ning was in sadness, the long sword suddenly trembled, and an invisible energy wave swept through Guishan City, and all the surrounding scenes became blurred.

He saw a scene that he would never forget.

Guishan City, suspended above the endless void, was filled with the power of various laws.

There was the first beam of light in the darkness, and the first thunder that was born.

The ancestral thunder roared, and the light tore through the endless darkness.

He saw wind, fire, thunder and lightning, and the birth and destruction of worlds. All of this was in the long river of time, like a picture scroll slowly unfolding.

A law can give birth to a powerful person, but not every powerful person can fully master a law.

Chu Ning was shocked by the number and completeness of the laws in Guishan City.

If this is the strength of Shanzong, it means that Shanzong once stood at the top of cultivation!

How could such a Shanzong become what it is now? How strong must the enemies of Shanzong be?

When Chu Ning was shocked, the scene in front of him changed again.

He saw a sword, a sword light that seemed to have crossed time and space and all obstacles in the world, and it came out from the void, and this sword slashed towards Guishan City.

Guishan City shook, and this sword did not affect Guishan City at all.

The next moment, a figure fell in Guishan City. Chu Ning could not see the face of this figure clearly, but he had a vague sense of familiarity, as if he had seen it somewhere.

After a long time, a sigh came from Guishan City, and the figure who walked into Guishan City walked out of the city and disappeared into the depths of the void.

Another sword light fell.

This time, Guishan City did not resist. When the sword fell, all the laws surrounding Guishan City disappeared into thin air, forming steps on the sky.

A few breaths later, a sword fell from the end of the steps. It was not a sword light but a long sword, which was the sword that Chu Ning had seen inserted into the earthen mound in Guishan City.

…

…

The scene changed again.

Chu Ning saw a man walking into Guishan City.

"Zhang Bairen?"

When Chu Ning saw the man's face clearly, his eyes were full of brilliance. He didn't expect to see Zhang Bairen appear in Guishan City.

This peerless duo who loved and killed each other in Wenjin Sect, and later sat on the Xuanhuang Road in Dao Palace, actually appeared here.

Chu Ning knew that Zhang Bairen's luck was not ordinary, and he must have a big secret, but he never expected Zhang Bairen to appear here.

He could be sure that the scene he saw in front of him definitely happened in a very distant era.

So Zhang Bairen already existed at that time?

Reincarnation?

In an instant, this thought popped up in Chu Ning's mind.

Zhang Bairen's cultivation level couldn't deceive people. When he met him, he was already in the foundation building stage. If he pretended to be a pig to eat the tiger, he wouldn't have been robbed of the opportunity of Shanzong by himself.

And he couldn't see the depth of Zhang Bairen in front of him.

Zhang Bairen entered the city.

Zhang Bairen left the city.

Looking up at the steps hanging high in the sky, Zhang Bairen flicked his sleeves and said, "I don't know whether this road is right or wrong, but I know that your road is wrong. I will take a completely new road."

Watching Zhang Bairen's figure disappear, Chu Ning's eyes flickered.

The next moment, another figure appeared in front of the city gate.

Chu Ning knew in his heart that this figure did not follow Zhang Bairen closely, but the picture he saw was fast-forwarded, and it was through time and space. Maybe the interval between the two people has passed for a thousand years, ten thousand years, or even a hundred thousand years.

What shocked Chu Ning even more was that he saw another familiar person.
