I have been bound in a forbidden place for five hundred years. Why are you crying when I am a casual

"What...is going on?"

"Why did the door suddenly close?"

"Why can't we get in? Didn't we agree that we were still short of three people?"

"..."

The sudden change caught everyone present off guard, especially the three Confucian scholars from the academy who had emerged from a large number of their fellow students and were ready to die. They stared at each other with wide eyes, their faces full of helplessness.

No one wants to die.

Even though the three of them were ready to die, and even argued with others present to get this opportunity, when they really faced the moment of death, they could not help but feel fear, timidity, and even regret.

But I never expected it.

We have made all the mental preparations, but the door is closed?

"Clang~!"

“Buzz~Buzz~Buzz~!”

But at this moment, accompanied by a loud bang, the magic seal controlled by the great scholar Tao Hong, which had been floating outside and unable to fall, finally fell down at this moment. At the moment of falling, it turned into one divine light after another, accompanied by bursts of buzzing sounds, and climbed onto the entire Tongtian Demon Pillar.

Although I don't understand what happened.

But the great scholar Tao Hong would obviously not miss the opportunity to temporarily seal the magic pillar.

It only takes a cup of tea.

The demonic pillar that was emitting monstrous demonic energy had been completely enveloped by white light, and the talismans kept floating around, as if completely isolating it.

But the great scholar Tao Hong did not stop there.

Instead, he jumped up, took out a magic dragon whisker brush from his arms, and without even staining it with ink, he began to write directly in the air.

"Righteousness has not yet been extinguished, and the devil has not yet died"

Just seven golden divine characters made a lock of black hair on his temple suddenly turn into frost and snow. The disciples of the academy who saw this scene could not help but let out suppressed sobs.

They saw it.

The dragon-beard magic brush was not without ink, but was stained with the spirit and even the life span of this great scholar. He was using his life to seal the sky-high demon pillar!

"The blue smoke burns away and knocks on the sky"

Seven more words fell, and his skin lost its luster, and wrinkles were as deep as knife cuts. But his hand remained steady, and the golden light in his eyes grew brighter.

"I wish to lock this body in the sea of ​​sin"

When the first word of the last sentence was written, his body began to emit a life breath that drifted like green smoke, which was a sign that his life span was rapidly burning out.

Countless disciples of the academy have covered their eyes and started crying. They dared not make a sound because they could see that at this moment, the great scholar Tao Hong was determined, and only this determination to die could enable him to complete the Haoran Demon Seal. The slightest mistake could lead to failure.

Fortunately.

The great scholar Tao Hong succeeded.

"Don't let the stars fall to the earth"

The last stroke was like a broken turtle standing at the end, falling down with a loud bang!

The twenty-eight golden characters instantly connected into one, transforming into a golden shackle that penetrated the sky and earth, sealing the entire Sky-reaching Demon Pillar tightly!

After he finished writing, the great scholar Tao Hong was like a candle in the wind. His steps were unsteady, his face was pale, and even his body began to tremble uncontrollably. Finally, he seemed to have lost his cultivation and fell from the sky.

Gu Xiu reacted the fastest and immediately helped the old man stand still.

When he touched the other person's body, Gu Xiu discovered that the old man's life span had actually come to an end. His entire body was no longer protected by any spiritual energy. He was like an old mortal in his twilight years, and he didn't have much time left to live.

"Senior, you..." Gu Xiu wanted to speak, but the great scholar Tao Hong just smiled slightly and patted the back of his hand. Gu Xiu understood what he meant and immediately let go of the other's arm.

However, although the great scholar Tao Hong was extremely weak, his back was still straight, like a pine tree that would not bend no matter what.

"Taiweiyuan is temporarily sealed. Within three months, the demonic aura will be difficult to spread."

"To seal this place, one needs to use the great energy, feeding it once every two hours."

The great scholar Tao Hong spoke, looking at the disciples of the academy with a deep gaze: "This body is like firewood, and it has burned out. From now on... it is your path."

As the last word fell, the figure of the great scholar Tao Hong began to gradually fade away in front of everyone's eyes, like a wisp of green smoke, about to dissipate between heaven and earth. Everyone present saw this scene with sorrow on their faces. However, the disciple of the great scholar Tao Hong, at this moment, tried hard to hold back his tears, shook his sleeves, and shouted in a voice like tearing silk:

"Get dressed!"

With a loud noise, all the disciples of the academy, young and old, injured or exhausted, all solemnly straightened their crowns, smoothed out every wrinkle on their clothes, and brushed off the dust, as if they were going to make the most important pilgrimage of their lives.

Even the other people in Mohan Tower, including Gu Xiu, the old drunkard and Baiyu Zhenren, were doing the same at this moment, straightening their clothes.

"Send sir!"

The great scholar's personal disciple had a choked voice, but he still tried his best to lead everyone and bow deeply to the figure that was about to disappear.

This is not an ordinary bow, but the most solemn and respectful "bowing ceremony".

Slowly raise your hands and clasp them in front of your body, with your left hand covering your right hand. Make your arms like a ring and bend deeply until your back is parallel to the ground.

The whole movement is solemn and slow, full of ritual sense.

They maintained this posture, like a silent forest of steles.

"Bow! Thank you, Mr., for your teachings!"

The sound waves, accompanied by wind and snow, echoed between heaven and earth.

"Bow again! Thank you, Mr., for sacrificing your life to protect the world!"

Everyone's heads hung even lower, tears finally falling uncontrollably, splashing tiny specks of dust on the scorched earth.

"Three bows! We respectfully bid farewell to the master, and may his soul return to Wenqu!"

After the three bows, the crowd did not stand up immediately. They remained bowed, as if using their silent backbones to build a glorious path to the starry sky for the master.

At this moment, a smile of relief and comfort appeared on Tao Hong's almost transparent face.

He took one last look at the world he protected, and his figure completely transformed into specks of white light, like fireflies or rising stars, blending into the blue sky that was cleansed by the great righteousness.

Only the twenty-one golden characters he left behind shone brightly on the magic pillar.

Forever in the world!

But amidst this solemnity, a sharp laugh was heard:

"This is ridiculous! You Taihang Academy members are truly a bunch of pedantic, stubborn, and foolish people. If Tao Hong were still alive, with his cultivation, he could at least be of some use. But now that he's sacrificed his life to seal the Demonic Pillar, he's only gained three more months."

"Do you think you can turn the tables by what you can do in three months?"

"Stupid, pedantic, pathetic and ridiculous!"

As soon as these words were spoken, many people in the academy glared angrily. Even though the person who spoke was the extremely powerful Supreme Lady Black Spider, their eyes still held murderous intent. However, Lady Black Spider, who was still bound by the scroll, paid no attention to these glances.

"Indeed, Tao Hong is an old stubborn man who has lived for thousands of years. The world has long forgotten him, and no one remembers what he once did. Now that he is old and frail, dying here can leave a lasting reputation for himself."

"Tsk tsk tsk, you scholars are really good at scheming."

If some people could still tolerate the previous words, the latter words made many people almost bite their back teeth to pieces, and even many people had a dark light in their eyes.

This scene.

Even Mrs. Black Spider couldn't help but feel excited.

Unfortunately, at this moment, the righteous spirit burst out again, and then saw that Mr. Yunlu, the master of the Tianli Pavilion of the academy, walked slowly towards him and glanced at Madam Black Spider lightly:

"Why should I fear malicious speculation about Mr. Tao Hong's name?"

"Madam Black Spider, you should put aside your thoughts and stay at my Taihang Academy."

The phrase "why worry about people's malicious speculation" has already explained everything.

She can't even throw dirty water on Tao Hong, the great scholar!

Madam Black Spider was unwilling to give in and wanted to say something, but when Mr. Yunlu raised his hand and waved it, Madam Black Spider disappeared from the spot.

Next she will be imprisoned in Taihang Academy.

We need to dig out more secret information from her.

As for this Immortal Burial Valley.

From today on, this place will become the academy's defensive position. For at least the next three months, they will go all out to suppress this demonic pillar.

Isolate Haoyu from crisis.

Baiyu Tower...or Mohan Tower, as it were, had already been emptied of everything, so they needed to recuperate and prepare for the war that might occur in three months. The old drunkard didn't leave with Mohan Tower, but left it where it was. However, he did leave, intending to temporarily head to Baiyu Tower.

As for Gu Xiu...

Mr. Yunlu just took out a small sword.

One.

The small sword representing the world's number one sword sect, the Tianyuan Sword Sect!
