Not far from the entrance of Yinyuefang City, there was a slight commotion. Some monks coming and going stopped, while others walked straight past.
Eyes focused on Gu Qing, who was dressed in black robe, and Yu Zhengyang, who was throwing himself on the ground, crying bitterly.
Discussions began gradually.
"This person surnamed Yu has been cheated this time!" A female cultivator sneered, looking at Yu Zhengyang and said, she had been at the stall here before, and was cheated out of a fortune by this female businessman named Yu. , but despite the good cultivation of Yu, she could only break her teeth and swallow it in her stomach.
"I wonder which family this senior who made Fellow Daoist Yu weep in tears came from?" An old man with gray hair and a deep breath spoke while stroking his beard.
"She shouldn't be from a nearby family!"
"This person named Yu..."
The gradually noisy surroundings did not distract Yu Zhengyang. It was a time of life and death, so how could he care about such a trivial matter as whether he was embarrassed?
If he couldn't ask for the noble hand of the foundation-building monk whom he held his boots in, then his little life, Yu Zhengyang, would probably be handed over here!
When the body dies and the Tao disappears, everything comes to an end!
How could he be willing to do this when he was in his prime?
As for asking for help from the sect, or contacting nearby senior brothers and sisters to come to the rescue, it's not that Yu Zhengyang has never thought about it, but that has to wait until he can save his life, and he can't take out the communication talisman in front of the foundation-building monk. ?
Gu Qing stood there expressionlessly.
His consciousness reached three feet from his body, and through the power of his consciousness, he could see into the crowd around him and the true emotions hidden under the appearance of Yu Zhengyang, who was holding his boots, crying bitterly.
"stand up."
Gu Qing spat out two words indifferently.
But what he heard in Yu Zhengyang's ears was like thunder, which made his vision go black, his soul was shaken, and all the spiritual energy in his body that was ready to be unleashed was dispersed, and his round body collapsed on the ground.
After sitting paralyzed for a moment, Yu Zhengyang seemed to be greatly stimulated and stood up suddenly. His tall and round body made him like a giant, and he could fit in Gu Qing in front of him.
Yu Zhengyang smiled flatteringly, nodded and bowed, and said all kinds of compliments to Gu Qing, but in his heart he was thinking of ways to escape.
With his cultivation at the ninth level of Qi refining, the spiritual power in his body collapsed under this person's sound transmission, and his soul was also slightly injured!
This made Yu Zhengyang's heart sink to the bottom.
With such a huge gap in strength, how can he survive?
Gu Qing was not interested in what Yu Zhengyang was thinking, and he had no resentment towards this person for having tracked him for Li Hengyang.
Li Hengyang is dead.
His cultivation, body, and soul have been eliminated in the space of the stone tablet. It can be said that he is completely dead.
Therefore, whether the fat monk in front of him was, as he said, forced by Li Hengyang as his junior sister to track him, or for some other reason, he chose to track him for Li Hengyang, Gu Qing did not intend to do it here and now, because He was so angry that he killed him.
"Shut up." Gu Qing looked at the chattering Yu Zhengyang and said coldly. The five-color spiritual power rippled around like water waves, isolating the surrounding monks, leaving Yu Zhengyang and him alone.
Yu Zhengyang's face was ashen, his lips trembled, and he closed his mouth.
He was annoyed.
You should return to the clan sooner!
If he had returned to the sect earlier, how could he have been killed like this?
Gu Qing looked at the fat monk and sent a message: "Since you are setting up a stall near the entrance of this market, please pay attention to a few people for me. This is what each of these people looks like. If you do this well, I will spare your life."
Gu Qing picked up a jade slip from the stall, touched it casually, and his consciousness imprinted the faces of Lin Tingxue and others on it.
Then, Gu Qing threw the jade slip to the fat monk.
The fat monk hurriedly took it, his spiritual consciousness penetrated it, and then he said sincerely: "Senior, don't worry! Even if Xiao Xiu goes through fire and water, he has to share the worries for senior! Xiao Xiu still has a few acquaintances on Changming Island. , I expect that I am also willing to help senior find these people!"
Gu
Qing nodded lightly and picked up the sea map.
"These people are all Qi Refining monks. If you really can't find them, it's okay." Gu Qing said in a calm tone, but he got repeated assurances from the fat monk Yu Zhengyang, patting his chest.
This sea map is in the shape of a small compass.
It was engraved with a complex map of the sea area, as well as extremely precise position markings. Gu Qing tried to turn around, and the direction marked on the small compass-shaped sea map also rotated accordingly.
Gu Qing found the marked area of the sea area map among the tiny inscriptions carved on the sea area map. It was probably a radius of thousands of miles centered on Changming Island, but considering that the sea area map would change as he moved. Changes, the true scope of the sea area marked should be more than 10,000 miles in radius.
"I dare to ask fellow Taoist Yu Zhengyang, how many miles is the map of this sea area?" Gu Qing glanced at the map of the sea area and asked.
This thing is not a magic weapon.
Its stone plate body is uneven and rough, and feels cold to the touch. It is heavy in the hand, like a piece of black ice. Dozens of spiritual patterns are engraved on it, and a shallow white brilliance flows in the spiritual patterns, which are engraved on it. The sea map above seems to appear in an illusion, so it can constantly change.
"It records a map with a radius of 50,000 miles, centered on the Qianzhang Island and Reef a hundred miles away, due east of Changming Island." The fear on Yu Zhengyang's face disappeared a little, and he responded honestly.
Gu Qing turned over his hand and put away the sea map.
I never thought that the vast sea would develop so fast because of the combination of maps and compasses. With this thing, it would undoubtedly be much more convenient to go to sea.
Gu Qing took a deep look at Yu Zhengyang, remembering this person's appearance and body shape, and then collected the five-color spiritual power scattered around him, turned around, and headed towards Yinyuefang City. .
Yu Zhengyang breathed a sigh of relief.
"Fellow Taoist Yu Zhengyang, don't think about any tricks. If you can do it for someone, your grudges will be wiped out. If you can't do it, or if you have other ideas, someone will go to heaven or earth to kill you."
The cold voice transmission dispelled the thoughts of contacting the sect master in Yu Zhengyang's mind who had just breathed a sigh of relief.
"I don't know if this person left any tricks on me, but I guess he must have left some tricks behind..." Yu Zhengyang thought like this, and focused his consciousness on his body with a solemn expression, scanning the inside and outside several times. Nothing was found, but he felt even more fearful.
Yu Zhengyang returned to the booth and sat down, paying no attention to the comments among the people who were dispersing around him, and took out the communication talisman.
"No matter what, first find the few people this person asked me to find to use as bargaining chips." Yu Zhengyang's face was expressionless. The previous flattery seemed to be just a disguise, but his composure at this time was his true nature.
"This fellow Taoist is a bit unruly."
"Foundation-building cultivator, how can we take action against Qi Refining Minor Cultivator? Still in my Yinyuefang City!" A somewhat displeased voice sounded in the ears of Gu Qing who was about to leave Yinyuefang City.
A beautiful woman in palace attire appeared as if she were walking on clouds, turning into a phantom. She came to Gu Qing in a blink of an eye, with a pair of cold phoenix eyes.
Gu Qing raised his eyes slightly: "Oh?"
The face of the beautiful woman in palace attire was cold, and she continued: "I have a rule in Yinyuefang City that you are not allowed to do anything privately. Now that my fellow Taoist has broken the rule, does he want to just leave?"
"How are you doing?"
Gu Qing put his hands behind his back, looked directly into the eyes of the beautiful woman in palace clothes blocking the road, and responded in the same cold voice: "If you want to capture Gu, do it. Otherwise, get out of the way quickly and don't block the road."
When the beautiful woman in palace attire saw this, she immediately became angry.
She curled her lips and said, "As you wish."
Before he finished speaking, his figure had disappeared like a phantom.
A vigorous figure appeared in front of Gu Qing as if teleporting. It was less than a foot away from him. It was blocked by the five-color spiritual power that he subconsciously emitted. After a slight stagnation, the five-color spiritual power was crushed. Then a huge force fell on the side of Gu Qing's face!
Bang!
The bursting airflow spread out, knocking away the nearby rubble within a few feet. The ground suddenly collapsed several feet, and Gu Qing's
The figure flew sideways for several meters before stopping with a golden light flashing.
The beautiful woman in palace clothes suddenly rushed over and punched Gu Qing. Her eyes were cut like autumn water, with a sharp light, and a bit of surprise flashed in her eyes.
The power of her punch was extremely solid, so it did not make much noise, but she knew very well that no matter how powerful her body was, this punch would never be possible for an ordinary third-level foundation-building monk. He caught it so easily with his face, and there was no injury at all!
This person clearly possesses the spiritual power fluctuations of the second level of Foundation Establishment. He is definitely not a physical practitioner. It seems that he has practiced some extremely profound body-refining secret method!
The clothes of the beautiful woman in palace attire were not messy at all. They were hung down and put away. The autumn-like eyes on her somewhat soft face calmed down.
"Fellow Taoist does not dodge or evade. If you receive this punch, the previous events will be wiped out." As the beautiful woman in palace clothes said, her figure dissipated and left at a speed that was difficult to catch.
At the entrance of Yinyuefang City, Gu Qing rubbed his cheeks inexplicably, and the golden light on his body slowly converged into his body.
He was a little baffled by this beautiful woman in palace attire who suddenly appeared and knocked him away with a punch, but more of it was fear. This beautiful woman in palace attire had a very deep cultivation level, and her physique was even more powerful. She could do it with just one punch. It almost caused his current ancient demon body to be damaged!
Gu Qing glanced at the monks all around who were looking at him, then he rose into the air, turned into a ray of light, and suddenly disappeared away.
After more than ten breaths.
The sky was originally bright, with a scorching sun hanging high in the sky, but large dark clouds suddenly drifted in from the south, and the rain soon swept across, pattering on a steep rocky mountain by the seaside of Changming Island.
Gu Qing stood on the steep rocky mountain and did not use his spiritual power to block the rain. He allowed the rain to slide down his black robe.
He held a compass and looked into the distance.
"According to the map, due south of Changming Island, 3,600 miles away, there is a group of unexplored desert islands that stretch for more than 2,000 miles. Monsters are rampant in this sea area, and there are only demon generals who can rival fake elixir monks. , there are four recorded on the map... This place is a good place to go."
"This time, let's go here first."
Gu Qing put away the sea map, roared, and flew up, intending to use the water element escape technique among the five elements escape techniques.
However, his body was unbalanced, and his spiritual energy was temporarily out of control. He fell into the sea with a plop. He frowned and allowed himself to sink in the sea water, regaining control of the out-of-control spiritual energy around him.
The water escape technique failed!
Gu Qing was in the sea water and tried to use the Water Escape Technique again. The feeling of stagnation was still there. He tried several times, but every time, his spiritual power was out of control and he was unable to perform the Water Escape Technique!
"Mostly...it's because of the ancient demon's body."
Gu Qing sighed secretly.
After several attempts, he has realized that it is the special nature of the ancient demon's body that prevents him from performing the water escape technique.
The reason is probably that at this time, he has the body of an ancient demon and cannot transform into water mist. As a result, most of the Five Elements Escape Techniques and the other four Escape Techniques cannot be used!
This wonderful method of practicing the Great Five Elements Condensation, after reaching the foundation level, the two secret methods that can be practiced are actually useless!
Gu Qing was slightly disappointed, but quickly regained his composure.
He is not trapped for a while.
If you can't use the Five Elements Escape Technique, you won't be able to use it.
It's normal to give and take.
The sea is vast, and when you are here, you often feel how small you are and how vast the world is. Even Gu Qing is shocked in his heart. He passes through the circles of ocean currents and feels the ubiquitous repulsion. The light that Gu Qing sees becomes increasingly dimmer, and the light nearby becomes dimmer. The swimming fish also look more and more weird.
He glanced upward.
The colorful fish formed a group and marched out into the distance like an army. A huge sea turtle, which was killed by an unknown object and was covered in blood, only appeared after the group of fish passed by. A turtle shell about ten feet in size remained.
There were several deep white marks on the hard turtle shell, which should have been caused by slashing with a sharp weapon. Which monk passed by and killed the turtle?
Gu Qing withdrew his gaze and continued to move forward in the sea.
He was curious about how deep the sea was here, so he moved forward and fell rapidly downwards. The sound of gurgling water was undisguised. After a few breaths, there was almost no light around him.
The swarms of colorful fish like before are no longer visible, and most of the creatures in the sea have become huge.
There was a large black fish several feet long with flat wings and two wings. It was already somewhat demonic and had obviously entered the genus of spirits. After discovering Gu Qing, it pounced on him and wanted to eat Gu Qing. Naturally, it was unable to do so. Gu Qing easily avoided the fish's predation and continued to move forward.
There were still sporadic traces of monks in the sea area before.
When Gu Qing reached a depth of two thousand feet, no other monks could be seen except him. Most of the creatures in the sea here were monsters, including crabs several feet long with flame patterns all over their bodies, huge octopuses, and many other creatures. Just a boxy, majestic crayfish.
Gu Qing didn't know when he had quietly calmed down.
He did not continue to sneak towards the water below.
From this height, he could already see a large number of spirits. He strongly suspected that if he went all the way down, he would enter the territory of the monster clan.
"It seems that the depths of the vast sea are the territory of the demon clan? I wonder if the sea area near the islands where the major monks are stationed is also like this." Gu Qing glanced below in the dark sea area.
Just with these few glances, he noticed some stinging pain in his eyes.
There are some extremely powerful demonic auras below!
Gu Qing withdrew his gaze, swam a few hundred feet upstream, and started walking at full speed.
But this time, Gu Qing only swam about five hundred feet, and he realized that he had passed through a barrier placed by an unknown person in the sea water, and his expression changed slightly.
"Restricted?"
Gu Qing's eyes were full of spiritual light. He looked to the side and behind, and through the sea water, he saw a disintegrating restriction!
This restriction is probably similar in strength to his Cold Mountain Restriction.
Almost at the same moment when he turned back, Gu Qing had already returned to the original route, passing through the barrier again, intending to detour here.
After all, there are some tricks arranged by some monk here. If he continues to move forward, there is a high possibility that he will run into the monk who arranged the tricks here.
"A monk came here to break the ban!"
"The ban is broken so quickly...the cultivation level should be at the foundation-building realm."
Half of his face was haggard and half of his face was plump and handsome. He noticed the breaking of the forbidden layer nearby, and his heart moved slightly.
The movements in his hands were not slow at all, and the blood-like spiritual power turned into dense blood lines, smashing the sea water into pieces and falling on the shadow of the golden bell in front of him, causing the golden bell to tremble.
Buzz!
The golden bell vibrated, but the sound only came inward.
The dispersed sound had no time to spread in the sea water before it was shattered by the dense blood lines of the man with a half handsome face and a half terrifying face. The blood lines were so fast and powerful that they destroyed the darkness. It was chopped into pieces and landed on the golden shadow, but it could only fly out upside down!
"Island Master Changming, Master Xuwang, hahaha... You deserve to be trapped and killed by me today! Can you remember the old things about Yunlian back then?" Around the shadow of the golden bell, the blood lines have formed like a random thread. The man with half handsome face and half scary face asked coldly.
In the shadow of the golden bell, an extremely powerful force swept out, and the power of heaven and earth within a radius of several hundred miles gathered crazily in this direction.
Boom!
There seems to be a sound of thunder in the sea water!
This half-handsome, half-terrifying man spat out a mouthful of blood with a pop, his expression a bit ferocious: "Xu Wang! How many more times can you mobilize the power of heaven and earth? Just come!"
The spiritual power fluctuations at the sixth level of the foundation around this man immediately spread to the surroundings as he roared, suppressing the gathered power of heaven and earth, turning it into gas-like sea water and sweeping it away.
"Alas... I only regret that I didn't destroy your mother's clan back then, and I still regret that I have fallen into this situation." A long sigh came from the shadow of the golden bell, and then an elegant man's voice sounded.
"Back then, your father colluded with demonic cultivators and caused cholera to spread across the islands. Sacrifice of lives was futile. Xu was ordered by his master to eliminate demons and defend the way. He killed your father and a group of demonic cultivators in this sea area. This was the reason. Now you are trapped in Xuwang. This, this is the result...but you shouldn't have cultivated like this and come to look for Xu."
Master Xuwang's tone was extremely calm, with a hint of a smile, as if he was going out for a walk after dinner and casually chatting with acquaintances.
The leisurely expression he showed made the half-handsome, half-terrible man's expression even more ferocious. He waved his hand and held out a blood-red drum the size of a millstone. He held the drumstick in his hand and beat the drum hard.
Boom! Boom! Boom...
The big blood-red drum was made of the skin of an unknown creature. As the half-handsome, half-terrible man struck the hammer, a large number of blood lines surrounding the golden bell's shadow began to dance like boiling water. Subtle bloody currents appeared!
"Blood Edict Yin Lei! Where did you get the inheritance of the Blood Sea Demon Sect?" Under the shadow of the golden bell, Master Xu Wang spoke with some surprise, and then, the shadow of the golden bell began to tremble.
Pieces of electric light flashed, and blood-colored lightning spread all over the city, condensing into dozens of thunderbolts, and striking down towards the phantom of the golden bell!
Boom!
The sound of thunder echoed from an unknown distance, shaking Gu Qing who was hundreds of miles away. His soul was slightly confused. Countless blood-colored shadows overlapped in front of his eyes. It was not until his body bloomed with golden light that the overlapping blood-colored shadows slowly dissipated. , a trace of blood smoke rose from the Baihui point on the top of his head.
The seawater above Gu Qing's head, under this trace of blood smoke, seemed to be half boiled, bubbling constantly.
Gu Qing suddenly turned his head and looked behind him.
The source of this weird thunder was behind him, within three hundred miles away! Gu Qing had already noticed the fluctuations caused by the power of heaven and earth in this position, but he had no intention of meddling in other people's business, and it was the same at this time.
"Within three hundred miles from here, there are monks who are in the middle stage of Foundation Establishment and above, fighting! The thunder just now, and the strange power that comes with the thunder, should be the means of one of them."
Gu Qingru thought and secretly took note of the location.
He turned around and continued his circuit.
Only a quarter of an hour passed after Gu Qing made a half-circle with a radius of three hundred miles to avoid the suspected battle site of Xiu in the middle stage of foundation construction.
He didn't feel any more fluctuations in fighting skills.
The strange sound of thunder in the sea no longer sounded.
So Gu Qing took out the sea map, followed the direction marked by the compass, and continued on his way to the desert island group located directly south of Changming Island.
There were no setbacks this time.
The distance of three thousand miles was neither far nor close to Gu Qing. Although his escape speed slowed down a bit in the sea water, it took him less than half an hour to see the deserted islands in the distance.
It is said to be a desert island group, but in fact there are a lot of monks nearby.
This had already begun to take shape after Gu Qing approached the deserted island group for five hundred miles, and after he approached the deserted island group for a hundred miles, monks could be seen everywhere in the sea and above the sea.
The cultivation levels of these monks vary, and they are generally in the middle stage of Qi refining and above. Gu Qing noticed the aura of a foundation-building monk.
"I don't know what to call this fellow Taoist? The old Taoist Sanxiu Changdeng is practicing on Yunlian Island." At the same time that Gu Qing noticed the breath, a kind voice passed through the sea area of more than ten miles and reached his ears. Next, when he heard this, his eyes flashed slightly.
"I'm Gu Qing, I'm also a casual cultivator."
Gu Qing sent a message back.
"It turns out to be fellow Taoist Gu Qing! What a pleasure to meet you." Old Taoist Chang Deng said to Gu Qing again, and then fell silent.
Continuing to fly forward for about eighty or ninety miles, Gu Qing broke through the water and saw a majestic pass in front of him.
This pass occupies more than half of the island in front of it, standing between the sky and the earth, like a huge peak, with countless pavilions and pavilions on it, and the light coming and going is densely packed, as bright as the stars in the sky.
At the same time, there was a clear light above the pass that seemed to reach into the sky, forming a tangible barrier that blocked the way forward and stretched for an unknown distance to the left and right.
Gu Qing's figure flew over, and in front of the gate of the pass, he pressed the escape light, and the spiritual power of the second level of foundation building exploded uncontrollably.
He frowned and looked forward.
"Senior, since he is a foundation-building monk, he needs to pay 30 middle-grade spiritual stones to enter the customs." The tall and powerful Qi Refining Dzogchen Realm guard in front of the portal spoke like this, and his voice was loud and loud, spreading far and wide.
