"Sir, walk slowly."

Tong Jian watched them leave with a smile, his brows furrowed, his smile gradually faded away, and his face was replaced by unparalleled solemnity and seriousness.

Tang Yun was inquiring about Guiyi Marquis Cai Kangqiu just now, and the reaction of Zhao Ke and others was a bit strange. Could it be that they came this time...

Now that they have arrived at the boundary of Tianhe Prefecture, there is no need to rush so anxiously. The group of people slowly advances along the official road.

Zhao Ke glanced at Tang Yun secretly and asked with a smile: "My lord, you already have a case?"

Tang Yun shook his head and said with some hesitation: "A hidden case? No, there is nothing found. I was thinking about the stone tablet, which seems a bit strange."

Zhao Ke was a little surprised: "Oh? Strange? Sir, can you tell me something?"

"Have you ever seen craftsmen building bridges?"

Tang Yun pondered and said: "I have been fortunate enough to see it several times. As soon as I saw this stone tablet, I felt an indescribable sense of familiarity. This structure is like... the remains of a broken bridge."

"Bridge? According to what you say, this bridge is long and big enough."

Zhao Ke was stunned for a moment, then smiled and said: "As far as I know, this stone tablet goes deep into the ground for at least thousands of feet, and the part on the ground is just a little bit. There is no such bridge in the world."

"This bridge is extremely difficult to destroy."

Tang Yun added faintly: "Senior, do you think there are any mountains and rivers in the world that are worth spending such materials to build such a big thing?"

"...This~" Zhao Ke was suddenly stuck, and his thoughts were thinking rapidly.

Tang Yun added again: "The most important thing is that this thing has existed for a long time. It is said that this thing already existed when the previous dynasty still existed."

After saying that, he smiled and said, "Of course it's just a guess. Maybe it was something built by people from the previous dynasty, and then it broke and left this wreckage."

Silently opening the panel, Tang Yun stared at the two copies that appeared on the panel, with a solemn look in his eyes.

This is indeed a bridge.

But it is not meant to cross mountains and rivers, but... galactic space.

And he also knows about a gate to the virtual world. Since there is a gate, there must be a way, right?

Perhaps there is another step to be added to the process of collecting all the keys and opening the gate to the virtual world...rebuilding the road first.

Let’s take a look at the advanced copy.

He made up his mind.

System: Do you want to enter the copy [Hongqiao Tianlu]?

【yes】

The scene changed. Tang Yun subconsciously pressed his hand on the hilt of the sword, frowning and observing the surrounding scene: "What the hell is this place? Does it have anything to do with Hongqiao?"

Focus on the frame.

Copy: [Hongqiao Sky Road]

Requirements for clearance: Kill the BOSS Spirit Demon, kill the BOSS Tianpeng Obsession, kill the BOSS Immortal Lord Yuanshen, kill the BOSS Taihao Sword Soul, kill the elite...

Achievements: [Complete the level without injury] [Spread your wings and destroy the sky] [Tie yourself in a cocoon] [Boundless sword energy] [Broken bridge with remaining blood]

[Spread its wings to destroy the sky]: The roc spreads its wings and shakes the sky. Although its true body is dead, its obsession will never die. It was once just a hair away from the gate, just a little bit.

[Self-tied in a cocoon]: In the past, the door to the virtual world was opened, and the immortal cultivators were expelled. In order to survive, the immortal king had to draw his sword and cut off the Rainbow Bridge. The spirit demon was angry and dragged his remaining soul into it and tortured him in every possible way. Life was worse than death.

[Sword Qi Boundless]: When the Taihao Sword comes out, its mighty power stretches for thirty thousand miles. It can cut off rivers, split mountains, and cut off the vastness. Although the immortal king's mind has been drained away, he can still live and protect his master by containing the magic weapon of his life.

[Broken Bridge Remaining Blood]: Back then, the Immortal Lord broke the bridge with his sword, not only severely injuring the spirits and demons, but also blocking the way of life for countless immortal cultivators. Times have changed, and even though they died, they persisted in their obsession.

…

Tang Yun frowned, hesitating: "This..."

The achievements have revealed a lot of information. This Hongqiao should have been the road connecting the gate of the virtual world. When the immortal cultivators were not tolerated by the world, they had to follow this road to escape from the gate.

Perhaps a strong man broke his wrist, but at the critical moment a powerful monk, the Immortal Lord mentioned in the achievement, forcibly cut off the Hongqiao, forcing the world to be unable to drive out all the immortal cultivators.

He did this for the sake of justice, and there was nothing wrong with it.

But the problem is that there were still countless immortal cultivators running away at that time. The Immortal Lord's sword could be said to have completely sentenced them to death. Moreover, Hongqiao had a weapon spirit, and the rupture of its body also caused serious damage to it.

So Qi Ling dragged the severely injured and dying Immortal Lord in, along with the immortal cultivators who were on the bridge at that time. Perhaps not only the immortal cultivators, but also many spiritual beasts, such as Tianpeng.

These guys are naturally not as powerful as the Immortal Lord. As of today, they are already dead. Even if they are alive, they are probably just a wisp of obsession, and they are trapped here and will never see the light of day.

And because of the changes in the rules of the world, the weapon spirit has become the spirit demon it is today. Tianpeng has a deeper obsession, so it is still relatively strong.

In fact, the Immortal Lord should be like this, but the Immortal Lord was tortured by the spirits and demons and died faster. Now only his soul is still alive, but his consciousness is actually gone, just like the True Lord Liyang that Tang Yun met back then.

"Tsk, tsk, pitiful."

Tang Yun was a little sad. He still admired people like Xianjun. At least he could not do such an act of sacrificing himself for others and being willing to cut off his own future.

What he is good at is cutting off other people's escape routes.

At this moment, a translucent figure with three heads and the appearance of a doll with blue flames suddenly appeared in front of Tang Yun: "Huh? You are not that boy Cai Kangqiu, who are you?"

Cai Kangqiu?

When Tang Yun heard this, he couldn't help but feel something in his heart. This grandson probably knew more than he thought. Since Cai Kangqiu could get in here, he must know a thing or two about the immortal cultivators.

And judging from its reaction, the relationship between the spirit demon and Cai Kangqiu is obviously that of old friends, more like colluding partners?

Why do you say that?

Very simple.

If you want to open the gate to the virtual world, you must first build the road, which is this bridge.

It doesn't matter whether Cai Kangqiu knew the truth and was planning to bring in the immortal cultivators, and then take the opportunity to rebel and usurp the throne, or whether he was deceived by the sect's deceptions. What was important was that he did know the spirit demon.

The biggest obsession of the spirit demon is that its body is broken, and it definitely wants to restore its body.

In this way, there is basically no conflict of interest between it and Cai Kangqiu, so cooperation is a sure thing, right?

You can do it, old boy. You have a great time.

Thoughts flashed through his head quickly, and Tang Yun looked at it calmly: "Spirit demon? Mr. Cai has something busy recently. He asked me to tell you that the court has become suspicious of him. You'd better be careful."

The spirit demon sneered: "Tell me to be careful? He reminded me that it would be better to remind the people of that sect. Who can find me hiding here? On the contrary, they are sneaky and can easily expose their whereabouts."

Perhaps because of the confidence in the concealment of this place, or perhaps because only Cai Kangqiu and those from the sect have been in contact with it for so many years, the spirit demon was not too wary of Tang Yun.

Tang Yun rolled his eyes and said with difficulty: "My lord has been ordered to come to the capital. Of course what you said makes sense, but before you left, your lord didn't tell me how to find those people. Can you tell me this on my behalf?"

Ichiban?"

Hearing this, the spirit demon immediately jumped up in anger: "Let me tell you? Do you want to harm me? Tong Jian is guarding outside. If I dare to go out, I will be severely injured. It's a thankless job, why should I go?"

Why don’t you go?”

Tang Yun shrugged and said casually: "I want to go but I don't know how to contact them, so I can only trouble you. If you are seriously injured and you won't die, what are you afraid of?"

"You..." The spirit demon bared its teeth, stared at him fiercely, and suddenly showed a sneer: "You don't know? Then I'll tell you, do you want to trick me?"

Tang Yun showed a little unnaturalness at the right time, looked around for a long time, and then gritted his teeth and said: "I really don't know how to contact them..."

"I said, I'll tell you, won't you know?" The spirit demon chuckled, and said a lot of words in Tang Yun's ugly expression.

"I……"

"I've said it all, and you still don't know?"

"Okay, I'll go."

"Ha~"

Kill the soul with one word.

Tang Yun instantly drew his sword, and the two runes "Bite" and "Wish" were activated at the same time. More than 10 million wishes poured out like a torrential river. The magnificent sword shadow appeared in front of the spirit demon in just an instant.

Even though the spirit demon was horrified in the face of the crisis, it did not show much worry, as if it was sure that Tang Yun's sword could not kill him.

Pfft...

boom!

Exit the copy.

Tang Yun decisively chose to quit, and suddenly returned to reality, shaking his head in discomfort.

Zhao Ke was keenly aware of his changes and asked with some concern: "Sir, are you feeling unwell?"

Tang Yun shook his head and said with a smile: "It's nothing, I just thought of something."

"Oh?" Zhao Ke's eyes flashed and he looked like he was all ears.

Seeing that he was chasing after him, Tang Yun didn't mind, and said thoughtfully: "Suppose, suppose that Cai Kangqiu really colludes with the sect people, where do you think they will hide? There must be a place to stay."

Zhao Ke frowned and replied: "The world is big, and Hezhou is not small today. There is always a place to hide."

Tang Yun continued: "Marquis Guiyi has been here for many years, and the power network is intricate. It makes sense for seniors to think so, but seniors may have overlooked one point."

"What?" Zhao Ke asked.

"These sect masters were all more or less famous figures before. Not to mention that these people are used to being respected by others. If they suddenly become rats on the street and need to hide, will they be able to withstand this change?
To be continued...
