Between the clouds and the sky, the wind is like a knife.
Ye Ling stood on Tengyun's back, looking in the direction of the Hongling Mountains. If Ning Changge missed them, he should have reached the Hongling Mountains by now. If he was caught by the people of Wanjian Shenzong, his life would be in danger.
After all, Ning Changge is now the clan leader of the Houzhao tribe. If Lu Chen kills him, according to the system of the Houzhao tribe, he can become the new clan leader, and then the merger of the eight tribes will be unstoppable.
Along with Ye Ling, there were three people from Nan'an who rushed to the Hongling Mountains. They rested for a day in Kangtian City and then entered the Southern Territory. With their level of cultivation, it could be said that there would be no obstacles in entering and exiting the Southern Territory. There are even rumors that there are many human hermits living in the Southern Territory, but they never show up to participate in world affairs.
The three people in Nan'an were extremely fast, but before they reached the Hongling Mountains, Nan'an felt a strong demonic aura: "Demon King!"
Seeing several green shadows heading towards the Hongling Mountains, Nan'an hurried forward to catch up. Ming Xiao said, "Third brother, what does this mean?"
Nan'an said: "There is a demon king heading to the Hongling Mountains, and I'm afraid it will be detrimental to our Ten Thousand Swords Divine Sect!"
As he spoke, Ren Qiang and Ming Xiao also hurriedly caught up.
In mid-air, the Jingming Sword was unsheathed, and a sword mark seemed to split the entire sky in half, blocking those figures.
Revealing his figure, the leading man in green snorted: "Who is that?"
Nan An came closer and recognized this person: "It turns out to be Qingpengru Demon King, Qinghui."
"Since you know it's me, how dare you block my way?" As he spoke, the Qingpeng Demon King looked at Ming Xiao and couldn't help but smile coldly: "Ming Xiao, you actually have the nerve to return to the Southern Territory? Who did you think was wrong in the first place? In front of three sects and hundreds of clans, you said you would never return to the Southern Territory?"
Ming Xiao had a gloomy face and said in a cold voice: "I am free to travel to and from the Southern Territory, and I don't need you to tell me what to do. I no longer want to settle the grievances of the past."
"I don't want to settle the matter anymore. I heard that you went to the Eastern Region and hung out with a few unsuccessful human tribes, known as the Southeast Nine Bandits. The person in front of you should be the Lone Jian Nan'an."
Nan An slightly cupped his hands and said, "The demon king invites you."
"You and I are strangers, why do you want to block my way? Could it be that you want to help Ming Xiao deal with me?"
Nan'an said: "No. It's just that the Demon King is going to the Hongling Mountains, but I don't know what's important?"
The existence of Qingqing is an absolute secret of the Qingpeng clan. Therefore, the Qingpeng Demon King will not tell the truth: "This is my private matter. What does it have to do with you? You dare to question me?"
Nan'an took a step forward, and his sharpness appeared: "If the demon king can't tell the reason, I really can't let you go."
"Okay, I want to see what the Southeast Jiu Kou can do, how dare they act so arrogantly in front of me!"
As soon as he finished speaking, the demonic aura soared into the sky. The Qingpeng Demon King turned into a ray of green light and collided with Nan'an. The fight between the monks in the Celestial Realm was so shocking that even Ming Xiao and others had to stay away to avoid being affected.
…………
However, he said that the Hongling Mountains were peaceful at the moment, Bi Kong and Huan Long had no idea when they would leave, and Lu Chen did not tell the eight elders about Ye Ling.
In a secret hut in the back mountain, Ning Changge's meridians were sealed, his shoulder bones were pierced, and he was locked with iron chains. His whole body was covered in bruises and there was no good piece of meat left.
Next to them, two disciples of the Wanjian Shen Sect were sitting and resting. They were holding whips in their hands, and they were also tired from beating them.
One person said: "This kid is really tough-talking, and he doesn't even say a word like this."
"If we can't pry his mouth open, we can't explain it to the sect master. What do you think we should do?"
"What should I do? Castrate him first, then I want to see if he is a man!"
As he spoke, the disciple stepped forward and took off Ning Changge's pants, took out a dagger in his hand, and waved it in front of Ning Changge: "Why do you think you have to suffer this physical pain? Our sect master had no intention of doing it in the first place. Your fate, if you tell the truth, you will now be a guest of my Ten Thousand Swords Divine Sect."
Ning Changge raised his head slightly, then spat out a mouthful of blood on the disciple's face: "Kill or behead him, it's up to you!"
"Okay, but I won't kill you or chop you. I will make it impossible for you to have children."
Like death! "
As soon as he finished speaking, the disciple stabbed Ning Changge's lower body with his dagger. Unexpectedly, a sudden force knocked the disciple back, and then two golden leaves passed over their necks, killing them.
Ning Changge looked up and saw two people standing in front of him, the Holy Son Xiao Xuanyu and the elder Wang Delun.
Xiao Xuanyu said: "I remember you, you are Ye Ling's friend. Now Ye Ling owes me a huge favor."
As he spoke, Xiao Xuanyu made a move with his right hand, and two golden leaves flew out, cutting off the chains on Ning Changge. Wang Delun then stepped forward to support Ning Changge and stuffed him with two healing pills.
After the medicine dissipated, Ning Changge regained some strength and hurriedly came to thank him.
Xiao Xuanyu said: "Seeing how tough you are, Ye Ling must not be in the Hongling Mountains. Could it be that Hall Master Li's information is wrong?"
While he was thinking about it, a disciple of the Holy Spirit Sect flashed into the room and said, "There are elders from the Wanjian Divine Sect coming this way."
"I know, tell everyone, be sure not to expose your whereabouts!"
"yes!"
As they spoke, several people immediately left the hut. Not long after, Zeng Buren and Sun Shiyong arrived, but Ning Changge was missing, and the two disciples died.
Zeng Buren immediately became alert: "Someone has taken the hostages!"
"The wounds on his neck are not sword wounds. It seems that they were not caused by Ye Ling."
"Is there anyone else who is against my Ten Thousand Swords Divine Sect?"
"This matter needs to be reported to the sect leader immediately for a decision."
…………
But it was said that Ye Ling had been sitting cross-legged on Tengyun's back for an unknown number of days. On this day, he suddenly opened his eyes while meditating, and felt that there were strong men fighting in front of him, and the Taoist rhyme was spread out in the sky, and the light was shining.
Ye Ling felt a familiar sharp energy and immediately stood up and said: "Teng Yun, I'm going to take a look in front, but don't go there yet."
"Master, don't worry!"
Ye Lingzong stepped forward and saw that the Qingpeng Demon King and Nan'an were fighting in the air. The world and the world were constantly colliding, and it was difficult to tell the difference for a moment.
On the other side, the three elders of the Immortal Realm clan of the Qingpeng clan were fighting with Ming Xiao and Ren Qiang. Ren Qiang had already transformed into a giant ape like Mount Tai, roaring and waving his fists to shatter time and space.
Ye Ling shouted: "Uncle Ren Qiang!"
Ren Qiang turned around and saw Ye Ling. He immediately grinned and said, "So you are still alive. Well, well, well, after I catch these annoying birds, let's roast them and eat them!"
When the Qingpeng tribe leader saw Ye Ling, he immediately sent a message to the Qingpeng Demon King. Qingpeng Demon King heard Ye Ling coming, stepped back, and looked at Ye Ling: "Ye Ling, are you here to fulfill your agreement with me?"
After hearing this, Nan An couldn't help but frown: "Ye Ling, what is your relationship with him?"
"You don't need to worry about this, Nan An, you are too presumptuous!"
"Hmph! Demon King, Ye Ling is my descendant from Nan'an. Naturally I have to get involved in his affairs, but what is your relationship with him?"
Ye Ling couldn't figure out the reason for their fight, but it was obvious that he needed to appease both parties to prevent them from losing both sides.
So, Ye Ling stepped forward and said to Qingpeng Demon King: "Demon King, Qingqing is still sleeping in the jade ring. The last time he woke up, he spoke human words. It was a woman's voice, and she called herself a saint!"
When the Qingpeng Demon King heard this, he couldn't help but trembled. This meant that the stories passed down from generation to generation by the Qingpeng clan were true.
He stretched out his hand to ask for the jade finger, but Nan'an slashed it with his sword and blocked the Qingpeng Demon King, saying: "Demon King, what's the point of attacking a junior? There's no winner between you and me yet!" "
"Nan'an, I don't want to tangle with you today, please get out of my way quickly, otherwise I will destroy your bones!"
"Then I want to learn from the demon king before he comes. Ye Ling, get out of the way!"
Ye Ling said hurriedly: "Uncle Master, Demon King, why are you two fighting? If it's just about me, you can talk about it calmly, I'm afraid there may be some misunderstanding."
Qingpeng Demon King said: "I know you are outside the Southern Territory, so I came here to look for you. Nan'an blocks my way indiscriminately, how can I tolerate him!"
Nan'an said: "You intend to go to the Hongling Mountains
, the Hongling Mountains are now the sect of my Ten Thousand Swords Divine Sect. If the majestic Demon King goes there, I'm afraid I have bad intentions! "
Ye Ling said helplessly: "Wrong, wrong, this happened all because of me. The Demon King did not mean to harm the Wanjian Shenzong!"
As he spoke, Ye Ling's consciousness penetrated the jade finger and forcibly awakened Qingqing. Qingqing woke up with an angry look, pulled out the jade finger, and said: "Didn't I tell you not to disturb this saint's sleep?"
When the Qingpeng Demon King and the elders saw Qingqing, they all rushed to pay their respects with excitement: "Descendants of the Qingpeng clan, pay homage to the Demon Saint!"
Qingqing glanced at them and said, "I remember you. We have met before. I heard that you are the current leader of the Qingpeng tribe?"
"Exactly, my name is Qinghui."
Qingqing looked him over, nodded and said, "It was you who woke me up?"
"I don't dare, I don't dare, I really..."
"Okay, I need to rest now. I will not go back to the clan for the time being. You don't need to come to me again. If there is an order, I will let this kid take me back to the clan."
"Yes, our clan members are waiting for Lord Demon Saint to return to the clan at any time!"
Qingqing was too lazy to say anything to them. She yawned and fell asleep again in the jade finger.
The Qingpeng Demon King saw it and said to Ye Ling: "Since the Demon Saint has given instructions, we will leave. If the Demon Saint makes any mistakes, I, the Qingpeng clan, will never spare you!"
After saying this, Qingpeng Demon King turned around and left with the clan elders.
Nan An came to Ye Ling's side and said, "You have so many secrets."
Ye Ling smiled bitterly: "I don't want to either. I also want to go back and have a happy life with my wife. I can't help myself."
"You still have the mission to revive our Ten Thousand Swords Divine Sect, and you can't escape it. Follow me to the Hongling Mountains and acknowledge your ancestors!"
As soon as these words came out, Ye Ling immediately changed his expression and said, "Uncle, I'm afraid I can't obey your orders."
"Huh? Why?"
"I have dealt with the Ten Thousand Swords Divine Sect several times over the past period of time, and I really don't agree with their way of doing things."
After hearing this, Nan An said, "Maybe Lu Chen is too eager to do things, and you saw something inappropriate. Don't worry, I will definitely teach him a lesson when I go back this time."
Ye Ling stopped talking and said nothing more. Next to them, Ren Qiang and Ming Xiao approached. Ren Qiang said, "We had a fight and we're hungry. Let's find a place to eat quickly!"
Ming Xiao rolled her eyes at him: "With your appetite, I'm afraid that my Third Brother's Ten Thousand Swords Sect will be depleted!"
Nan An smiled and said: "Don't be afraid, my Ten Thousand Swords Divine Sect can still afford this little rice, but I'm afraid it will break your heart!"
The three of them were chatting and laughing in a relaxed and happy manner, but Ye Ling had a melancholy look on his face, worried about Ning Changge's safety.
