The market was very lively, with people coming and going.
"Master, this looks delicious!"
Xu Nuo pointed to the candied hawthorn on the shoulder of the candied haws seller, his eyes gleaming.
Ye Ling smiled and stepped forward to buy two skewers. The master and apprentice took one skewer each and ate while walking.
This is the junction of the Eastern Territory and the Southern Territory, Kangtian City.
Ever since the human race and the demon race turned against each other, the position of Kangtian City has become particularly important. Although the three religious forces cannot control this place, they have also placed many informants.
Not long after the master and apprentice arrived in the city, Ye Ling discovered that someone was secretly watching them.
Ye Ling didn't care. With the level of cultivation of their master and disciple, as long as they didn't encounter an unborn senior, they should be able to escape unscathed.
Ye Ling and Xu Nuo came to a small shop, only to find that the original restaurant had been replaced by another business. The proprietress, the waiter and the fat chef were missing again.
Fortunately, Zuixianju was still there. Ye Ling came to visit with the promise and met Zhang Jibei again.
After not seeing each other for several years, Zhang Jibei has become much older, his body is more curvy, and the affairs of the restaurant have been left to his son to take care of.
The backyard was quiet. Zhang Jibei was lying on the rocking chair and talking to Ye Ling: "You shouldn't come back. This is a business under the Bafang Inn. There has been a notice from above. Anyone who sees you should report it immediately."
Ye Ling smiled and said, "It doesn't matter."
He appeared this time just to attract the attention of all forces, and he also planned to use all forces to hone his swordsmanship.
Zhang Jibei sighed: "It's easy to hide from open guns and hard to defend against hidden arrows. Even if you have extraordinary abilities, it's hard to guard against villains' plots. You must be careful when dealing with people."
"My old man taught me a lesson, but now I want to hide but I can't. I might as well take this opportunity to settle some grievances and grievances so as not to cause trouble in the future."
"I have nothing to do with the grievances between you monks. I don't think you will settle down here. I have prepared dozens of jars to banish immortals and drink them. Take them and drink the wine to strengthen your reputation!"
Ye Ling heard this and quickly thanked him.
After the meal, the master and the apprentice left Zuixianju. As soon as they left the city, several figures came to stop them.
The leader is none other than Fengyun Huizhuang Bie Kong!
Zhuang Bikong sneered and said, "Ye Ling, I would like to invite you to teach me the Holy Spirit!"
Since the last incident, Fengyunhui has completely surrendered to the Holy Spirit Cult. Now even other forces in Antitian City are being coerced and lured by the Holy Spirit Cult.
Ye Ling looked at the people around him and secretly sent a message to Xu Nuo: "I will deal with Zhuang Bikong, and I will leave the rest to you."
Xu Nuo nodded secretly and slowly unsheathed the sword at his waist.
Ye Ling smiled and said, "What if I don't want to go?"
"Then don't blame me for being rude!"
Before he finished speaking, two sharp edges suddenly rose up. Zhuang Bikong was killed by the sword energy with a look of disbelief on his face. All the monks around him also died under the Xu Nuo sword.
The figures of master and disciple flashed past, their sharp edges converged, and they continued to move forward.
"Master, why do you want to kill people? Is the sword really a murder weapon?"
"A sword is a sword, good or bad is just a matter of different opinions. The key lies in your heart."
"my heart?"
"You think you are killing people, but maybe you are saving people."
"Save people?"
"When you kill a person who will hurt others, you save the person who will be hurt by him. Killing may be saving people, and saving people is sometimes the same as killing people."
"Why is this?"
"People always use pity indiscriminately. When they see the living withering in front of them, they want to help them. As everyone knows, if a great evil person is at the end of his life, he will also show an image of pity and pretend to be righteous. If If you rescued him, wouldn't it be equivalent to letting the tiger return to the mountain and helping the tyrants to do evil?"
"But Master, how should we judge this?"
"I don't know either. Maybe there is no unified standard at all. When you see more people in the future, you may be able to understand. If you use your sword to kill in the future, you should have a clear conscience."
"I understand, Master."
"You don't understand. If you really understood, you wouldn't agree so easily. How can there be any true understanding in this world?"...
In an attic in Kangtian City, Duanmujie, Xiao Xuanyu and Xie Xuan were sitting.
Behind Xie Xuan stood two men in black, none other than Zhui Feng and Zhuo Feng. Zhui Feng had one of his arms cut off by Ye Ling at this moment and his strength was severely damaged. However, Xie Xuan thought that he was loyal and did not abandon him.
Not long after, someone walked into the door and said, "All the people in Fengyunhui died at the hands of Ye Ling."
Duanmujie waved his hand to tell the messenger to step away, and then said with emotion: "I didn't expect that Ye Ling's cultivation level has reached such an extent after not seeing him for a few years. You two have already experienced it, right?"
Xiao Xuanyu shook his fan and said with a heavy expression, "This person has a grudge against our Holy Religion. If he is not eliminated, he will eventually be in serious trouble."
Xie Xuan's expression remained as usual: "But Ye Ling did help you once. Although Fengyun Society claims to be affiliated with the Holy Spirit Cult, Zhuang Bikong has always been contrary to what he said. Now that he is dead, Fengyun Society is leaderless. Brother Xiao can take it for his own use!"
Xiao Xuanyu remained calm and said, "The most important thing right now is how to get rid of Ye Ling. Do you have any ideas?"
Duanmujie leaned lazily on the back of his chair. He had no grudge against Ye Ling, so he was naturally not in a hurry: "The young master of Hades is here, what worries does the Holy Son have? You might as well put down the reward and hire a murderer to kill someone."
Xiao Xuanyu looked at Xie Xuan, but Xie Xuan smiled and said: "If you want to kill Ye Ling, the price is not low. Can the Holy Son make the decision on his own?"
Xiao Xuanyu was speechless for a moment. Although he was the Holy Son, he actually had no power, and was even lower than Sheng Qingyao's status in the religion.
"Is there any other way?"
"Let Brother Duanmu spread the news about Ye Ling's cultivation. Since he once had a glimpse of the secret realm in the southeast and the Tomb of the Demon Saint, there will be people among the three sects who will cause trouble for Ye Ling, so there is no need for us to worry."
Duanmujie smiled and said, "Okay, I'll make money anyway, but you two owe me a favor!"...
As time passed, Ye Ling and Xu Nuo had arrived at the heart of the Eastern Region, where the human race had lived for generations, with numerous cities and a large population everywhere.
The original owner of the small noodle stall in Qinglin City has passed away and is now replaced by his son. The noodles still taste the same, but the people have changed.
Xu Nuo and Ye Ling had dinner and went out of the city. There were always people watching around them.
"Master, do you want me to go and deal with the people who are spying in secret?"
Ye Ling shook his head and said: "If they are willing to follow, just follow. If you kill one group, there will be another group. There is always no way to escape."
The two masters and apprentices walked on the road like this, passing many cities and seeing countless faces.
Ye Ling's mind changed slightly during this experience. The changes brought about by this experience were hard to explain, but they actually happened.
It's almost midwinter, and the fields are filled with white snow and layers of silver sand, making the world clear and bright. Only the cold wind that blows up from time to time attracts complaints from passers-by.
Ye Ling and Xu Nuo were cultivators, so they would not feel cold. They put on cotton clothes just to avoid the attention of ordinary people.
Away from the city and in the wild, the green mountains are hidden among the clouds and mist, making them less realistic.
But Ye Ling and Xu Nuo looked up and stared at the misty space, Xu Nuo said: "Master, there should be someone running away and someone is chasing behind them."
Ye Ling nodded and said, "This person is familiar to me, maybe he is a friend of my teacher."
"In that case, let's go over and take a look."
Ye Ling nodded, and the master and apprentice immediately used their skills to get closer.
In mid-air, a white Taoist priest whose robe was stained with blood gritted his teeth and fled. Four or five people were chasing behind him, and one person said: "You can't escape today. If you don't stop here, we will give you a decent show."
The Taoist priest was heartbroken, but he still refused to give in: "You are a bunch of shameless people, even if I become a fierce ghost, I can't forgive you!"
"If you don't eat the toast, you'll be fined with wine, look at the treasure!"
But he saw a golden light appear in the hand of the man behind him, and suddenly hit the white-clothed Taoist priest with a blow. Taoist priest in white takes a bite of fresh food
Blood spurted out and the body fell down.
As those people laughed, a sword energy passed by, killing two of them immediately, followed by another tyrannical Tao force, leaving the three monks unable to move.
On the other side, Xu Nuo had already caught the Taoist priest in white and gave him a healing pill, which temporarily alleviated the injury.
Ye Ling has already seen that this person is Bai Xiandao, a disciple of Tianyin Pavilion, and he has met Ye Ling several times.
When Bai Xiandao saw it was Ye Ling, his expression was complicated: "You are indeed still alive."
Ye Ling probably knew the cause and effect, and felt sad. The expressions of the three monks changed drastically, and one of them said: "We are all disciples of the Shadowless Palace. Didn't we know that our senior is from the Tongtian Sword Sect?"
Ye Ling didn't say anything, a cold light flashed, and the three of them died with their heads in different places.
Seeing how advanced Ye Ling was at this moment, Bai Xiandao said hurriedly: "Brother Dao Ye, please save Junior Sister Ling Yue, please!"
"There is no rush at this moment. You can adjust your breathing first and then talk."
Ye Ling and Xunuo took Bai Xiandao to a clearing on a cliff and fell down. They used Taoist power to help him stabilize his injuries. They couldn't help but feel indignant when they heard Bai Xiandao talk about the causes and consequences.
It turned out that the three sects could not find Ye Ling, and they actually started to attack other people who had connections with Ye Ling, including the Wanbao Chamber of Commerce, Dongfang Hai Pavilion, and Tianyin Pavilion. Naturally, they could not escape the disaster. Nowadays, the gate of Tianyin Pavilion has been sealed, and the disciples of Tianyin Pavilion outside are also hunted down by various sects, resulting in heavy casualties. Zhang Xueyang and Liu Jiben, who were friends with Bai Xiandao, both died not long ago. Tianyin April is said to have fallen at this moment. In the hands of Wuying Palace, Bai Xiandao was hunted down because he went out to inquire for information. Wuying Palace intends to annex Tianyin Pavilion, so these days it sends more disciples around to capture Tianyin Pavilion disciples.
"Not only Wuying Palace, Sanyin Sect, Fengyu Pavilion and even Huixianzhuang are also eyeing Tianyin Pavilion. As the master of the pavilion, Senior Brother Pan is... but he has no choice."
"Shadowless Palace..."
Ye Ling thought of Ying Beisheng, the young master of the Shadowless Palace, and asked, "Where are the Shadowless Palace and April?"
"I think that where the mountain gate of Wuying Palace is located, about ten thousand miles away, there is a pair of twin shadow mountains, which is where Wuying Palace is located."
Ye Ling nodded: "If that's the case, I'll go get him right away!"
He promised: "Master, I will go with you!"
"You escort Taoist Bai back to Tianyin Pavilion. I will go to Tianyin Pavilion to look for you after I rescued April."
Bai Xiandao said anxiously: "How can you go to the Shadowless Palace alone? There is a Mingwei Realm and two Celestial Phenomenon Realms in the Shadowless Palace. If you go there, won't you be asking for your own death?"
"Don't worry, I have my own sense of discretion."
As he spoke, Ye Ling walked away in the direction pointed by Bai Xiandao. Bai Xiandao wanted to persuade him again, but it was too late, so he could only complain to Xu Nuo: "Your master is so ignorant of life and death, how can you, a disciple, not persuade him?"
Xu Nuo smiled and said, "Don't worry. Although my master is only in the Celestial Elephant Realm, there is nothing he can do about it in the Ordinary Mingwei Realm. Even the demon kings who are also in the Celestial Elephant Realm have been slaughtered by my master."
"Celestial Realm!"
Bai Xiandao last saw Ye Ling only a few years ago, but now he has entered the celestial realm!
When he was shocked, Xu Nuo had already carried Bai Xian on his back and said, "Taoist Bai, which direction is your Tianyin Pavilion? I will carry you back."
