At the extreme east of the Holy Dragon Continent is a thousand-mile swamp, which is covered by poisonous miasma and mist all year round. There are almost no living creatures here, only ferocious beasts suitable for swamps and poisonous miasma lurk in secret places.

Deep in the swamp, a black mountain shrouded in haze stands.

This black mountain has rugged rocks and strange shapes, like a hideous demon.

On the top of Black Mountain, among the clouds and mist, there are palaces and buildings standing tall.

These palaces and buildings are all dark buildings, not like the palace buildings that can be seen everywhere in the Holy Dragon Continent, with beautiful colors.

These dark palaces have no living atmosphere, and are cold and cold, just like the palaces and pavilions in the underworld, making people creepy.

Among these underworld temples, a building that is dozens of stories high, a mysterious man in a black robe with a cloak on his head and a white mask on his face, but two sharp eyes that are as sharp as blades, flashing with stunning sharp eyes.

In front of the mysterious man is a piano platform with a guqin on it.

The mysterious man stretched out his palms from his black sleeves and placed them on the strings of the guqin. They were two palms as old as the bark of an old tree, full of folds.

From the palm of the old tree bark, it can be seen that this mysterious man seems to be extremely old.

The mysterious man tweaked his hands and fingers on the guqin. The strings trembled, and immediately became excited. The sound of the piano like a knife and a sword burst out, rippling between the dark palaces and buildings.

The silent Black Mountains, the palaces and buildings, only the sound of pianos makes the world look extremely empty.

The sound of the piano suddenly changed, and the sound of the piano suddenly rose, as if it was difficult to calm the hatred and murderous intent, which was unscrupulously revealed through the sound of the piano.

The mysterious man playing the piano had a sharp edge in his eyes, which was extremely terrifying, with blood-lit murderous aura.

At this moment, with a thud, a string suddenly broke and the playing stopped.

"Yuan Zheng, why are you back?" The mysterious man pulled his hands back from the strings of the piano, his eyes returned to calm, and the old voice said slowly.

At this time, a 100-meter-long mountain top of Heishan Mountain stood on a rock with a disheveled hair, pale face, blood on the corners of his mouth, and a tired old man.

This old man is Yuan Zheng who escaped from Qianlong City.

Yuan Zheng listened to the sound coming from the building on the mountain top, and a hint of shame appeared on his face. He looked at the mountain top with his fists and said, "Master, disciple Yuan Zheng has disappointed you. The disciple was unfortunately defeated by one person and lost Qianlong City."

"Who is defeated by? Why did he lose Qianlong City?" The mysterious man's majestic question came from the top of the mountain.

Yuan Zheng did not hide anything, and immediately defeated Lin Fei and took away Qianlong City and told him everything.

Of course he did not say that the reason why Lin Fei settled the score with the Yuan family was because his sons Yuan Hong and Yuan Long captured Lin Fei's woman.

"You are an important existence I arranged in the Holy Dragon Continent. I originally wanted to use you to expand my power in the Holy Dragon Continent, but I didn't expect that you would disappoint me so much that I could not seize more cultivation cities for me, and I lost the Qianlong City. You are no longer my disciple of Nangong Sheng." The mysterious man in the building on the top of the mountain said indifferently.

Yuan Zheng, who was standing at the foot of the mountain, couldn't help but tremble when he heard this, and he quickly begged: "Master, don't expel me from the door. The disciple is willing to redeem me for his merits."

"If I am not wrong, you will use the power of taboo when you escape back this time. Once you use the power of taboo, your skills will be exhausted and you will never recover." The mysterious man's cold voice resounded through the mountains and clouds.

A look of pain flashed in Yuan Zheng's eyes. Yes, the reason why he was able to escape from Lin Fei was finally through the talisman, and the taboo force was activated.

However, the biggest price to use taboo power is to exhaust your skills and lose all your martial arts.

"Master, I can practice again. As long as I give me time, I will definitely be able to restore my original skills." Yuan Zheng immediately looked at the top of the mountain, a little panicked and begged.

However, the mysterious man's voice was still cold and ruthless: "Since you have lost Qianlong City and lost your martial arts, you will no longer be of use to me. In the future, you will not be the red scorpion among the seven scorpions I have cultivated. You can take a boat!"

After saying this, the mysterious man broke the strings of the guqin again and replaced them with new strings.

The sound of the ding-dong dong piano sounded again, floating in the foggy world of Heishan Mountain.

At the foot of the mountain, Yuan Zheng looked desperate. He seemed to know that no matter how much he said, it would be of no use.

Then, he turned around and left, and came to a river.

This river winds through the swamp for thousands of miles, and is the only way to enter and exit the swamp with poisonous miasma and fog.

There was a small boat by the river. Yuan Zheng got on the boat, grabbed the oars, and had just rowed less than tens of meters above the river.

"Ga!~~~" At this moment, a sound of carvings tearing gold and splitting silk came from the clouds and mists above the black mountain.

Then, a large black shadow suddenly appeared from the clouds and mists, a huge black shadow of several meters, just like a large black cloud floating down from the sky.

But this is not a black cloud, but a big black eagle.

A black hawk with a cluster of white feathers on its head, a gaze of lightning, and a golden sharp beak, a powerful and ferocious bird emitting from the black hawk.

The huge black eagle swooped down from the clouds and mist above, just like hunting the prey. The sound of breaking through the air when it flew down made the air shake violently, the wind and clouds rolled, and the vast murderous aura raged the world.

Yuan Zheng, who was rowing and leaving, saw the black eagle swooping down from the air, his face changed drastically, and his mouth made a terrifying voice: "No, Master, you can't kill me! I have no credit and hard work, Master, please spare me, right?"

However, before his words fell, the giant eagle swooped down from the air. The eagle claws, as sharp as steel claws, had pierced Yuan Zheng's chest.

Amid the screams, Yuan Zheng was already caught by the ferocious black eagle's claws and flew up. As soon as he flew into the air, the black eagle's claws suddenly tore Yuan Zheng to pieces.

Yuan Zheng was torn into pieces and his body had not yet flew into the river. But with a rumbling sound, the river water was lifted up, and a giant beast in the water suddenly rushed out of the river water. It was a giant python as thick as a bucket, covered with blood-red scales. It opened its bloody mouth and the fallen body was torn into pieces and swallowed it in one bite.

The giant python sank into the river water, leaving only rippling waves on the river surface.

The huge black eagle spread its wings and flew on the roof of the highest point of the building where the mysterious man played the piano was. He put away his wings, just like a ghost of hell, with sharp eyes patrolling the black mountains.

At this moment, a sound of breaking through the air came, and a light and shadow flew in front of the building. This was a middle-aged man in black. He knelt on one knee, hugged his hands, and told the mysterious man playing the piano on the building: "Master, the green scorpion has heard from the Holy Dragon Realm that the Tiansheng Gem is about to appear. Liu Tiandao, the highest lord of the Holy Dragon Realm, has sent his eldest son and two elders to the border Longhu Mountain between Wanjian City and Liufeng City."

"It turns out that the Tiansheng Gem is in Longhu Mountain, Silver Scorpion. Take the other brothers and hurry to Longhu Mountain immediately. The Tiansheng Gem must not fall into Liu Tiandao's hands."
