The three major families in Mangcheng have a long history of grievances. The Qin family was oppressed by the Xie Qi family before they got the Jiuyou Illustrated Book. Since they got the skill, they have been working hard, a classic of magical skills. For the family, it can be said that it is A supreme treasure.
The Qin family has grown from this, and until now, the Xie Qi family has to join forces.
It's just that since the ancestor of the Qin family went to the Lotus Taoist Sect to seek help, and was depressed and unhappy after returning, inner demons began to breed, and he went into seclusion for cultivation. The Xie Qi family has had the upper hand since then.
After several years of testing, the two families acted more and more unscrupulously. Until five years ago, they began to attack and kill Qin family disciples. Firstly, they wanted to weaken the strength of the Qin family, and secondly, they wanted to see if the ancestor of the Qin family was real. Obsessed.
In the south of Mangcheng, Qijiafu Di.
Elder Qi still had some worries in his heart. Such a big matter must be reported to the family head first before taking action. He walked to the middle gate hall and explained his intention to his disciples. After a while, the family head Qi Yingtian personally greeted him.
"Qi Xuan, why are you so anxious about something important?" Qi Yingtian is an old man in black robes, with white eyebrows and black beard, and sharp eyes.
Elder Qi bowed first and said: "Master, the new foreign affairs elder of the Qin family has left the city. He should be going to the mines to inspect. This man has magical powers and dares to walk alone. Elder Xie and I have planned to attack and kill this man. Then take the spirit mine!" At this point, he stopped and looked at the head of the family.
"Spiritual mine?!" Qi Yingtian was surprised. Although there have been many battles in recent years, he has no idea of touching this spiritual mine. This mine is an important area of the Qin family. Once this mine is captured, a full-scale battle will definitely occur. , by then...Mangcheng will be in chaos.
Even the ancestors of the three families have to fight!
Moreover, the location of the spirit mine is hidden and difficult to find.
He frowned slightly and thought for a moment before saying, "We still have our ancestors to decide on this matter, just wait." After saying that, he flew away. Although he was the head of the family, he couldn't make the decision on such a big matter.
After about a cup of tea, the head of the Qi family returned. He looked solemn and said, "Ancestor said, kill!"
Elder Qi was shocked and said, "Please ask the head of the family to send two more people. Qin Zheng will not be easy to deal with, and the mine is also protected by a large formation."
"Take my warrant and go ask Uncle Qi. He has his own arrangements." Qi Yingtian took out the warrant of the head of the family and handed it to Qi Xuan.
"Yes!" Elder Qi bowed, turned and left, secretly thinking that Uncle San would make it happen!
This Third Uncle Qi is not an ordinary person. He has reached the peak of Qi refining and is one step away from becoming a real person. He has profound magical power and has even refined the Nine Demon Flags passed down from his family into a top-grade treasure, which is extremely powerful.
Half an hour later.
The two monks from Xie Qi met outside the city. Originally, four people from each side were leaving, making a total of eight people. However, during the gathering, twelve people arrived.
While both sides were surprised, they also saw the determination of the other family. The leader of the Xie family was also a master at the peak of Qi refining and was well-known in Mangcheng. The other five were all in the late stages of Qi refining. This hunt could be described as It's two elite families.
Two are at the peak of Qi refining, and ten are at the late stage of Qi refining!
"Qi San, I didn't expect you to come too." The leader of the Xie family is a gentle-looking young man. His words are sharp and piercing. When everyone present heard this voice, those with lower cultivation levels couldn't help but slap him. cold war.
The leader of the Qi family is Uncle Qi. In front of him, Qi Xuan, the law enforcement elder, has to retreat to the back. This man is an old man, short in stature, with a cold face. He looks at the young master, bows his hands, and smiles. He said without a smile: "I have met Master Xie Kun."
He is said to be a young master, but this Xie Kun is older than everyone present. He has been practicing for seven hundred years and has a great reputation in Mangcheng. It is estimated that except for the three ancestors of Jindan, this Xie Kun is the fourth. I dare not say much.
Qi San never expected that the Xie family would send all the masters out. He was afraid that just one person could kill Qin Zheng. Could it be that... the other party also liked the spiritual mine? ? ! He couldn't help but feel worried. In fact, the Qi family wanted him to come out because they wanted to occupy the mine!
Xie Kun had a smile on his face, but in his narrowed eyes, there was a cold light flashing, which made people shudder. He looked around and saw that everyone was afraid. He nodded with satisfaction and said, "Everyone has arrived. Then let's go, finish things early, and come back early, there is still a big show in Mangcheng."
...
In the vast desert, the wind and sand are like waves. Two figures, one behind the other, slowly move forward in the sea of sand.
"Sir, when will we arrive at the Ling Mine?" Bai Xiao looked a little listless. It had been half a month since he entered the desert. When he first came, he was still a little fresh and energetic, but now his interest has waned.
Wang Qi raised his head and looked behind him. There was no movement among the gods. Is there really no one following him? He was a little confused. When he left the city, he saw that the four people had murderous intentions. Could it be that they just met on the road?
He originally planned to walk slowly in the sand sea and seduce the monks from the Xie Qi family to come and rob him, but unexpectedly the other party never showed up.
"In two days, it should be almost done." Wang Qi took out the map and compared it.
Bai Xiao asked again: "Master, why don't you walk in the air? Walking like this is too slow."
Wang Qi laughed and explained the reason. This spiritual mine is in the underground space deep in the desert. You have to walk according to the map to find it. If you are in the sky, some corners are difficult to see, and there are large formations hiding it. If you don't follow the rules, it's impossible to find it.
According to the head of the family, after arriving at the place, you need to use the stars as a guide and walk for ten miles, then use the moonlight as the light, and walk three miles in the direction of the shadow to enter the formation. At this time, you can take out the Qin family's warrant and someone will come to meet you. .
He secretly admired it, what an exquisite design, no wonder the Xie Qi family couldn't get this mine, it seemed like they couldn't find it at all.
Bai Xiao was also stunned when he heard this. He had never imagined that such a thing could happen...
Three days later, Wang Qi found the mark on the map under a strangely shaped weathered rock. If the head of the family had not personally explained this place to him, he would not have been able to find it even with the map.
When night falls, the moon is bright in the sky and stars are like a sea.
The two of them followed the star's guidance and followed the shadow again. When they reached a sand dune, they suddenly felt something strange. The light and shadow in front of them changed, and the wind and sand blew up. In an instant, the sky light was blocked, and the stars were completely dark.
There is nothing but wind and sand in front of me.
"Master!!" Bai Xiao shouted and quickly cast spells to protect himself and the camel.
"Don't panic, it's okay." Wang Qi consoled him. An iron plate appeared in his hand, and when he input his magic power, he saw a sudden light flashing on it. Then the light moved away from the iron plate and shot into the wind and sand.
After a while, the strong wind died down, the yellow sand dissipated, and what appeared in front of Wang Qi's eyes turned out to be a weathered rock field. There are several stone halls here about a kilometer in diameter. They are square, tall and simple. The outer walls are full of traces of wind and sand erosion, showing the vicissitudes of life.
At this time, three figures were walking towards them, each holding a magical weapon. One of them asked aloud: "Who is coming?"
"Elder of the Qin family's foreign affairs, Qin Zheng!" Wang Qi replied loudly, while raising the iron plate given by the family head.
When the three people saw the iron sign, the nervous expressions on their faces relaxed. The three of them were in charge of this place and jointly took care of this spiritual mine. Calculating the time, the family would also send people to collect the mine. So when they saw Although Qin Zheng was cautious, he was not surprised.
"Why did you change the foreign affairs elder again?!" The one on the left was a middle-aged man. He frowned. In the past few years, the people who come to mine are different every time.
"Did the last one die again?!" The old man on the right took back his sword and asked.
In the middle was a beautiful woman, wearing green scale armor. She walked forward and bowed her hands: "I am Qin Zhiyu. Tian is in charge of affairs here. I have met the elders of foreign affairs."
"Qin Suifeng, I have met the elder." The old man also bowed.
"Qin Ye has met the elder," the middle-aged man said.
Although these three people are spiritual mine managers, they are one level lower than the elders in terms of grade, so they have to meet each other with courtesy.
Wang Qi accepted the token, saluted the three of them, and said, "I've seen three of them, but it's really hard to find them here."
Qin Zhiyu smiled slightly and made a gesture of invitation: "Elder, please speak in the palace." After saying that, he turned around and took the lead, but he had doubts in his heart. The family's foreign affairs elders have been changing very diligently, and they have been changing them every year for three consecutive years. Everyone who comes here is different. According to what the last one said, many disciples in his family were attacked and killed. When he came here, he also disguised himself and sneaked in. The foreign affairs elder before him was nowhere to be found, and he thought something bad had happened to him.
Several people entered a large hall. The stone hall was leaking from all directions, and the big stone on the roof of the hall was broken in several places. There were some debris piled up in the four corners, making it look slightly dilapidated.
In the middle of the hall, there were stone tables and chairs, and several people sat down.
"Elder Qin, I wonder what the situation is like outside?" Qin Zhiyu was the first to speak.
Wang Qi sighed and said: "Now that the Xie Qi family has joined forces, my disciples of the Qin family have been attacked and killed one after another. Now they don't dare to leave the city alone. The ancestor has not left the seclusion. Everyone in the family is panicked. It is really not good. "
The three of them looked at each other after hearing this, secretly thinking that this was indeed the case.
"I wonder where the foreign affairs elder who took office is now?!" The old man asked aloud. Although he already had the answer in his heart, he still wanted to know the truth.
As soon as these words came out, all three people looked at Wang Qi.
Wang Qi shook his head slightly and said, "I haven't come back since the last time I went out to fetch minerals." Before he came, he also asked the head of the family, so he knew some things.
"Hateful!!" When Qin Ye heard this, he stood up angrily and said angrily: "These Xie Qi family are really bullying others!"
"Could it be that...we already took the spiritual mine last time?" Wang Qi asked.
Qin Zhiyu waved her hand to signal Qin Ye to calm down. She said in a deep voice: "Not only last time, but also the previous two times, I came here to get the spirit stones..." At this point, she suddenly remembered What did he say? He looked at Wang Qi and said solemnly: "There must be a traitor in our Qin family!!"
It is true to say that when the Foreign Affairs Elder went out to collect minerals, someone figured out the route and specially intercepted and killed him. Not only did he want to kill people, but he could also collect spiritual minerals. It really killed two birds with one stone.
As soon as these words came out, everyone suddenly realized.
Qin Suifeng got up after taking the case, and said with hatred: "What a murderer and robber, they really think that my Qin family's mine belongs to them!!" I thought that the three of them had worked hard for a year to mine, but in the end they did it for others. Wedding dress, how can you not be angry!
"The head of the family is also confused. Two accidents happened in succession. Why did he send you here alone?" Qin Zhiyu frowned and looked up and down at the young elder in front of him.
Qin Ye then said: "That's right, maybe you think there aren't enough dead people?!"
Wang Qi sighed secretly in his heart. He naturally knew the intention of the family leader. Maybe he really wanted him to die, but how could he explain it to these people? He coughed lightly and said: "Everyone, there is really no redundant person in the family. If people are sent out again, the Xie Qi family will be aggressive, so we need to keep some manpower to deal with it."
When those people thought about it, they realized the same thing, but they always felt that something was wrong.
Suddenly Qin Ye's eyes lit up and he shouted: "Could it be that the head of the family wants to use you as bait to lure those people to catch them all?!"
When the three of them heard this, they all looked at Wang Qi, thinking that this was the only way to explain it.
Wang Qi shook his head and smiled bitterly: "I don't know what the owner of the family thinks. I just came here to get the ore and didn't say anything else."
Qin Zhiyu smiled slightly and said to the other two people: "If the matter is not kept secret, it will cause harm. I think the master of the house has his own ideas, so we don't have to guess." There was a lot of pity in the eyes of the three people. This kind of thing was used as bait. The danger for such a person is extremely high, and if you are not careful, your body and soul will be destroyed.
Wang Qi's face showed a heavy meaning. Anyone who was used as bait would not be in a good mood. But Bai Xiao, who was standing aside, was distracted, looking around for a while and looking at the stars for a while. He didn't pay attention at all. Keep the bait in mind.
