"Brother Chen!"
Jiang Qiang saw three monks really flying over, especially the spiritual power emanating from one of them, which was obviously a seventh-level Qi training monk. He couldn't help but feel as nervous as a stone, and his heart sank as if it was filled with lead.
Obviously, what Chen Dengming said about the current situation was really right. There were actually monks preparing to ambush the eldest lady of the Luo family. I don't know if it was because of the crow's mouth or because she was just unlucky.
"Don't panic!"
Chen Dengming frowned slightly, looking at the three people who were approaching quickly, and his mind quickly turned around for countermeasures.
As for these three people, although he was solemn, he would not panic, but it was obvious that if the other party was ambushing Luo Bing, then there could not be only these three people.
Chen Dengming's thoughts changed rapidly, and he suddenly burst out with the spiritual power of the sixth level of Qi training. The dark iron and gold robe outside his body, which was originally dull, suddenly glowed with metallic luster.
The new energy spreads to the golden watch, and the cold light shines on the iron coat!
The iron clothes were vibrating, Chen Dengming's white hair was fluttering on his temples, his handsome face was full of tiger eyes, and he had an almost evil temperament.
When his eyes were open and closed, his brilliant light was looming, looking directly into the hearts of the three people who came in. His heaven was vast, and against the backdrop of the burst of spiritual power at the sixth level of Qi training, he had an aura of calmness and authority.
"Huh? He is still a person. Could it be that he is not a casual cultivator?"
The three people who arrived were all shocked.
The leading monk surnamed Ling frowned and couldn't help but slow down his flying speed, looking at Chen Dengming's tall and muscular figure and the faint evil aura that was faintly exuding.
This kind of evil spirit was obviously developed gradually due to killing people or too many monsters, but it was restrained by the opponent just now.
Just when the monk surnamed Ling was thinking, the atmosphere became increasingly tense.
Chen Dengming's calm and strong aura suddenly changed. His face was smiling, and his attitude was modest and indifferent.
"Three Taoist friends have invited me! I am Gao Hu, a monk from the Merchant Alliance. This is your belt. We from the Merchant Alliance travel abroad and always make friends and make money by being friendly. I wonder if the three Taoist friends have any misunderstandings about us?"
"People from the Merchant Alliance? Gao Hu?"
The monk surnamed Ling was startled. He was about to have an attack, but suddenly Chen Dengming took the initiative to lower his posture and claimed that he was from the Merchant Alliance. This made him hesitate again, but he quickly came to his senses and snorted coldly.
"Misunderstanding? What did you just say? Did you pretend that we didn't hear it?"
Jiang Qiang felt a thump in his heart.
Chen Dengming was immediately surprised and said, "Oh? Hiss, I didn't expect the three fellow Taoists to know about the path opened by our merchant alliance here?
Although you may encounter monsters on that small road, it saves half the time than taking the main road to the Eastern Region. It has always been regarded as a secret trade route by our merchant alliance. I didn’t expect you to know about it too? .”
The monk surnamed Ling raised his eyebrows, and the two people beside him looked at each other.
Chen Dengming was the best at observing words and expressions. One look at the expressions of the two people beside him, and he knew that these three people had never heard the words he and Jiang Qiang had exchanged about the Luo family before, and they were even more determined.
"Remote trade route."
The monk surnamed Ling murmured in his heart, narrowed his eyes slightly, stared at Chen Deng and said, "Show me your waist badge."
Chen Dengming immediately followed the instructions with a smile, and his waist card flew out.
"Your name is Gao Hu? There don't seem to be many Taoist friends named Gao from the Merchant Alliance with your level of strength?"
"Yes, it's not much. I just came from the Eastern Region recently. I do some small business in Yulinfang over there from the Xiong family. I plan to go back soon. This Taoist brother can just call me Xiao Gao."
"Do you know Wu Hu from the Merchant Alliance?"
"Wu Hu? I've never heard of that, but my cousin's name is Lei Hu."
"It seems that you are really from the Merchant Alliance. I have had contact with Lei Hu."
The monk surnamed Ling relaxed, smiled, and sent back the badge, waving his hand and saying, "It seems there was a misunderstanding. Let's go. Don't take that path. Just go along this road. That path is ours now." ”
The monk surnamed Ling said, pointing in a direction.
"oh?"
Chen Dengming was surprised, glanced at the direction he was pointing, and clasped his fists with a smile, "Thank you, Brother Dao, for pointing out the clear path. Xiao Gao, I would rather be respectful than obey."
"You're so polite, fellow Taoist Gao, but I won't send you far away!"
The monk surnamed Ling smiled and clasped his fists.
Chen Dengming immediately called Jiang Qiang to start quickly and move towards the direction pointed by the monk surnamed Ling.
The three monks surnamed Ling had been watching Chen Dengming and Chen Dengming walk far away, completely walking into the side canyon leading to the East Territory, and then looked back.
"Brother Dao Ling, why did you let them go so easily and let them go there?"
The two monks were confused.
The monk surnamed Ling sneered, "You two obviously don't know that there are people from the Zhu family ambushing there. The Zhu family doesn't trust us and sent people to guard the canyon over there. They call it supervision. Once Luo Bing is attacked, If the wounded escape from there, they will take action to kill them."
"Then these two people."
"Alas!~" The monk surnamed Ling stretched out his hand to straighten his collar and said meaningfully, "This one named Gao Hu is not easy. If I had taken action just now, of course I could kill them, but if Gao Hu fights back with all his strength, the two of you might not be able to do anything. All will die.
It would be better to send them to the Zhu family. It will not harm our affairs. If the Zhu family wants to deal with the two of them, then let them go dog-eat-dog. If they don't deal with them, count them lucky."
The two monks were stunned when they heard this, showing gratitude and admiration. They said that Brother Ling was loyal and wise, and he also took care of their safety.
"Qiangzi, prepare for a fierce battle. I may not be able to care about you later. I hope that after this time, we will have a smooth road and can go directly to the Eastern Region."
In the canyon with towering cliffs and sharp cliffs, Chen Dengming suddenly heard from Jiang Qiang.
"Yes, Brother Chen! You don't need to take care of me later. I will try my best to protect myself. If we get separated, we will meet again in Juelin City in the East Region in the future."
Jiang Qiang had already been reminded by Chen Dengming. He knew that the monk named Ling had bad intentions and that there must be something strange in the canyon, so he immediately secretly prepared a magic weapon and sent a message to respond.
"Tao, Taoist friend, there are two people behind the ancient vines on the right side of the front, and there is a grotto behind the cliff on the left. Inside, inside, inside, there are three people inside."
At the same time, in the spirit-seizing array, the little array spirit communicated with Chen Dengming heart-to-heart.
The small formation spirit body has a keen sense and can detect the breath of life around it within a certain range. Even if a monk has restrained his spiritual power, he can still detect it.
"What kind of strength are they?"
"The feeling is not very clear, but there is one person among them who should surpass fellow Taoist."
Chen Dengming's heart sank, but his face remained unmoved. He pretended that nothing happened and walked quickly through the valley with Jiang Qiang.
The mountains surrounding the valley are quiet and tranquil. There are many tangled ancient vines climbing on the stone walls on both sides. Birds are chirping in the distance, creating a natural and harmonious scene without any murderous intent.
The two traveled very fast and soon approached the canyon where the Zhu family monks were ambushed.
The Zhu family monks who were ambushing on both sides restrained and waited, but they were also entangled in their hearts. They were temporarily unclear about the situation on the cooperative side, and they didn't know whether they should take action or not.
The monk who was the leader also felt troubled at this moment. He felt that the two people who suddenly appeared at this moment were really strange. The one who preferred to cooperate actually led the two to their side. I wonder if he wanted them to take action to solve it.
"Boom!——"
At this moment, a roar suddenly came from the main road. It was obvious that a monk had taken over there, and the returning Luo Bing must have appeared.
The face of the leading monk of the Zhu family suddenly changed, and he gritted his teeth and said, "These two people are too strange. It is better to strike first. Take action."
The monks on the left and right heard the sound and immediately mobilized their magical weapons to attack.
However, almost at the same time, Chen Dengming and Jiang Qiang moved like rabbits, and they rushed forward with their weapons. In an instant, they quickly spanned more than ten feet, and the trees and stone walls on both sides quickly retreated.
"boom!--"
Several magic weapons fell into the air and hit the ground, shaking up the soil and cutting through the rocks.
"Where to go!——"
The leading monk shouted angrily and suddenly jumped out, mobilizing a flying sword.
Suddenly the sound of the sword was accompanied by wind and thunder, turning into a rainbow and striking Chen Dengming's heart directly.
Chen Denming snorted coldly, but still passed by with his sword. He patted the storage bag, and in an instant the Wuling grabbed the flying general and came out, transforming into claw shadows all over the sky, and collided with the flying sword in an instant.
Several clanging sounds! ——
The swords and claws fought each other more than ten times in a blink of an eye!
"Sixth level of Qi training!?"
The leading monk's face slightly condensed.
At this moment, an arrow-shaped magical weapon suddenly shot towards Chen Dengming, as fast as lightning without any sound of wind.
With a flash of cold light, Chen Dengming's iron coat vibrated, and with a clang the arrow weapon flew away and flew into a nearby rock, with the exposed arrow tail trembling.
"High-level robe?"
When the monk who released the cold arrow shouted lowly, a golden light suddenly appeared from his side and broke through the hastily deployed spirit shield with a 'buzz', and the insect's mouth full of sharp teeth and poisonous fangs bit the back of his neck!
"ah!--"
The screams spread instantly.
But it was quickly drowned out by the roar.
Chen Dengming cast several Golden Spear Techniques and Golden Touch Techniques in a row, and performed the spells in one go, which was dazzling. With the help of Jiang Qiang's magical weapons and talismans, he barely managed to break through the intertwined attacks of Taoist magic and magical weapons, and broke through the tight encirclement.
Seeing one of his unexplained casualties, the leading monk shouted angrily, and his spiritual power surged.
Suddenly, he rose up with his sword and turned into a silver sword, sparking a snow-white light.
"Whoosh!——"
The sword energy was like a dragon and a snake, attacking and killing Chen Dengming like lightning.
"The seventh level of Qi training."
Chen Dengming's heart sank slightly, but as expected, he suddenly controlled the knife with his heart. The Ice Spirit Knife turned into a flying knife and flashed. The whistling sound echoed through the valley, like a flash of thunder and lightning, and an electric shot shot out.
The leading monk made the seal almost at the same time. The light of his sword flew and suddenly transformed into two dazzling rays of cold light in the air. One of them hit the ice spirit knife with impeccable precision.
The other struck Chen Dengming to the left. As soon as the sword energy struck, a human figure appeared in the sword light, like a human-shaped sword energy. The spiritual power struck so close that the air seemed to be torn apart, giving rise to a painful feeling of being torn apart.
But at this moment, Chen Dengming's face glowed, and the spiritual energy in his body had been mobilized to the limit.
Suddenly he pointed out, and a golden light instantly covered the visitor.
At the same time, a black shadow came out of his mouth, emitting a fishy stench.
With a buzzing sound, the Golden Silkworm Gu turned into a golden thread from the side and swept towards the opponent at almost the same moment.
The cultivator was startled by the attack. He felt the invasion of golden spiritual energy, the sword light was stagnant, and the black shadows and golden threads coming from the left and right also posed a strong threat. There was only a long roar and the sword swept wildly.
The sword energy buzzed and flashed, like a sudden violent wind, turning into thousands of points of cold light.
Only two "clang" sounds were heard, and the black nail magic weapon and the golden silkworm Gu were bounced away.
However, at this moment, there was a huge earthquake in the surrounding spiritual energy, and an astonishing sword energy of several feet caused the golden spiritual energy to surge down like solidified iron and steel.
The power of the sword is fierce and surging, and it is as violent as an angry dragon baring its teeth and claws!
"ah!--"
The monk shouted angrily and made a secret, his parallel fingers turned into swords, his powerful spiritual energy exploded violently, and his hair was disheveled.
The flying sword turned into an unparalleled and amazing sword energy and soared into the sky.
Colliding with the huge sword energy that was slashing hard, streaks of bright silver sword light burst out, tearing open gaps in the surrounding ground and stone walls.
After a while, the figure of the sword-wielding monk was suddenly shot out of the smoke and grass. His face was gloomy, his eyes were shining, his hair was disheveled, blood was bleeding from the corners of his mouth, and his eyes were full of surprise and uncertainty.
"But a sixth-level Qi training monk actually has such combat power? There are so many mid-level magic weapons, and there is even something wrong. What was that just now, a Gu insect? And the claw-shaped magic weapon looks like Xu Ning's Wuling Suo, who is this person?"
He took a step forward, and suddenly felt his energy fluctuating, a hiccup rising up, and he almost vomited a mouthful of blood again.
He had just cast spells repeatedly to mobilize the magical weapons, and in a hurry, he used sword techniques to collide with the opponent's terrifying sword energy, which greatly damaged his vitality and caused him to suffer some minor injuries.
"Fourth uncle!"
"Fourth Uncle, Xiao Lan is dead. It was poison."
"Uncle Fourth, are you okay? Should we give chase?"
At this time, the sound of breaking the wind was approaching, and four family monks approached with sad and angry tones.
After the sword-controlling monk calmed down, he looked back at the distant battlefield on the other side, where the roar was still heard, and then looked at the direction where Chen Dengming and others had fled, knowing that he might have fought an unjust battle and died unjustly.
Although these two people had unknown origins and were strong and powerful, they appeared to be particularly strange. They seemed to know their purpose of ambushing here, but as soon as they took action, they tried to escape instead of fighting them, obviously not wanting to get involved in trouble.
But they happened to come looking for trouble. Wouldn't this be shooting themselves in the foot?
"Damn the Lin family monks! They didn't take action and threw a lot of trouble on us without making it clear in advance."
The sword-controlling monk cursed in his heart, shook his head with a gloomy face.
"Business matters. Contain Xiaolan's body and pay for it later. Now quickly observe the battle situation over there. If Luo Bing is seriously injured and escapes, we will pursue him to the death!"
"Fourth uncle, what if Luo Bing is not seriously injured?"
The sword-controlling monk's face froze, and he covered his chest where the blood was boiling and wanted to vomit blood, feeling depressed for a while.
He had thought about this problem before, but found it impossible.
The Lin family monks dispatched two monks at the tenth level of Qi training, three monks at the seventh level and above, and other mid-level Qi training monks to surround and kill Luo Bing.
Even if he missed, Luo Bing would never be seriously injured.
Therefore, the Zhu family only sent him to lead the team, and the main purpose was just to observe and supervise. In addition, when Luo Bing was seriously injured and escaped, he provided support and interception, adding insult to injury.
"Luo Bing is doomed this time!"
The sword-controlling monk gritted his teeth and said harshly. As soon as he finished speaking, the sound of fighting suddenly stopped, and it seemed that the winner had been decided.
． ． ．
Withdraw, withdraw, withdraw!
Chen Dengming harnessed the light of the sword to wrap himself around him, and traveled for more than ten miles, his spiritual energy gradually exhausted.
Unable to control the aircraft any longer, he had no choice but to land, use Qinggong and body skills to gallop forward, use a trace of spiritual energy to nourish his innate true energy, and sprint away with all his strength.
Relying on his tenacious willpower, he ran for dozens of miles, and finally he was almost exhausted. He immediately picked a river flowing eastward, jumped into it, and let the river water push him with the current.
As for Jiang Qiang, he couldn't take care of it for the time being.
The two of them had agreed before that in the event of a fierce battle, they would each mind their own business and try their best to break out of the encirclement and then flee eastward separately.
It is true that the world is as chaotic as a dream, and life is like clouds and mud.
One moment they were walking side by side, and the next moment they were going their separate ways.
Fortunately, the Zhu family monks obviously reacted and did not want to pursue them. They were able to fight out completely. The little formation spirit was indispensable this time.
in the river.
Chen Dengming closed his eyes and held in his mouth the pearl dug out of the blue-scaled monster fish he had hunted in the past.
With this pearl in his mouth, he can breathe freely in the water. The pores of his skin can absorb the air in the water like a fish, and his ability to sense water flow has increased significantly. He can clearly sense the changes in the water flow and identify the location and surrounding creatures. .
This lasted for two sticks of incense.
His spiritual energy has also recovered by 30%.
He immediately broke out of the water and came to a hillside, overlooking Yunhua Road and the Luo family beyond.
I couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief when I found that the Zhu family's spirit boat had retreated.
As for the Yunhua Road side, he couldn't see the details clearly. It was difficult to guess whether the ambushers had really sniped at Luo Bing, and whether their target was really Luo Bing. After all, everything was completely his guess.
But now that the Zhu family's spirit boat has retreated, it is obvious that the Luo family is not in too bad a situation, which comforts Chen Dengming a little.
But other than comfort, he couldn't express anything. He could only pray for the ancestors of the Luo family to give him more strength. If he didn't give him enough strength and couldn't beat him, then don't be stubborn, bow his head and admit his mistake, call himself "Little Luo", and smile with him. Then move your family quickly.
"Now that we have left the Southern Territory, I hope there won't be any more troubles in the future. Qiangzi has escaped through some unknown path for the time being. His ability to escape is first-rate, so there is no need to worry."
Chen Dengming thought to himself, and turned to look at the lush mountains and forests around him. After taking out a map to carefully identify the direction, he immediately chose a trail to move forward.
A few days later.
Chen Dengming turned from the path full of monsters in the deep mountains and old forests to the main road of Yunhua Road. He gradually felt that the further he went to the east, the more spiritual energy in the air seemed to become more abundant.
Of course, this feeling is very subtle, and I don’t know if it is an illusion.
He continued to drive the vehicle at full speed.
We also encountered some caravans and monks on the way, and some monks even turned into bandits and threatened and extorted monks who came and went.
Chen Dengming did not want to cause trouble, and would not do anything if he could make a grudge against others. He originally wanted to just follow the locals and pay a toll, but as he approached, he aroused the vigilance of a group of bandit monks, and was immediately let go.
The bandit monk who robbed him seemed to have extraordinary eyesight. He could see directly that he was at the sixth level of Qi training and that he was wearing a high-level robe. He didn't want to cause trouble and wanted to kill him, so he let him go on the spot.
As for the other second and third level Qi training monks who were stopped, they were so miserable that they had no chance of getting through without stripping away all their money.
Another five days passed like this.
After Chen Dengming completely entered the scope of the Eastern Territory, he finally gradually saw the population, including mortal towns and villages and cultivated farmland.
There seem to be monks in the towns and villages here, and the living conditions of ordinary people are obviously much better than those in the gathering place. At least they can cultivate their own farmland, reclaim the land, and have enough to eat.
Chen Dengming saw a mountain in the distance, full of spiritual energy, flashes of light, and many monks gathered there. It was quite lively, like a market.
Taking out the map and taking a closer look, it turned out that it was really a city called 'Mingyue Fang', controlled by the Yue Family, a cultivating family with an ancestor in the late stage of foundation building. This area of 500 miles was considered the territory of the Yue Family.
There is even a note on the map saying that the Yue family has prosperous trade routes and a good reputation. They are friendly and make money and rarely fight with others. Therefore, Mingyuefang often attracts many monks to trade and stay.
Chen Dengming felt relieved. Looking back on his trip to the Southern Territory, he realized that it was a thousand-mile journey filled with bloody battles and dangerous events.
Fortunately, he is on temporary leave now. Compared with the danger, he still likes the Xiuxian family's territory where Feng Ping rarely fights.
He immediately drove away, preparing to rest temporarily on the territory of the Yue family. He would first break through to the seventh level of Qi training and enter the ranks of high-level Qi training monks, and then set off to find the Zongmi sect, seek magical powers, seek fortune, and destroy buildings. Foundation and longevity.
There are more than 5,400 words, please give me a monthly pass, fellow veterans, please continue to update in the afternoon or evening! ! Now that the protagonist has finally left the turmoil in the Southern Territory and arrived at Mingyuefang in the Eastern Territory, he has been able to hold on until the clouds clear and the moon shines. He must prepare for foundation building in the future.
