"Jiang Cunan, why is it you?" Kan Shimin was surprised when he saw the middle-aged man.
"Elder brother, I, he, he..." Jiang Cunan pointed at Yang Zhen tremblingly, not knowing whether he was excited or frightened, and said loudly:
"He killed Commander Hu! Oh no, Demon Tiger, that Demon Tiger was killed by him!"
Uh-huh! Nine pairs of eyes looked at the young man, disbelief written on everyone's face!
"Junior Brother Jiang, what are you talking about?" Senior Brother Kan scolded.
"I'm not talking nonsense. He said it himself. Not only the demon tiger, but also the cat manager was killed by him. Also, Jun Changan tried to catch him, but he broke one of his legs. Later, when the tiger demon came, he Then I ran away, and then I took the opportunity to escape too.”
It turned out that Jiang Cunan was one of the thirty monks outside the Danfang courtyard at that time. He is also a member of the Hongtan Society. He has advanced in Qi training and works in the Qi Workshop. At that time, Yang Zhen was chased by the demon tiger. He was worried that it would affect him later, and he needed to inform his brothers in the meeting of these changes so that he could prepare early, so he sneaked away while the demon tiger was trapped in the illusion formation.
It's just that unlike Hong Zhian, he doesn't have a magic weapon that he can take advantage of. After running through the mountains and forests for an hour or two, we will arrive.
But he didn't want to work so hard to get here, and found that Yang Zhen was also there. He couldn't figure out the situation for a while, so he hid it to see what happened.
So there was the scene just now.
The misunderstanding was eliminated, Yang Zhen said openly to the man, but Jiang Cunan was so frightened that he didn't even dare to say it.
Other than that, there was silence in the dense forest. Everyone else was stunned and speechless for a long time.
Especially Zhu Xie, if they were a little unconvinced with Yang Zhen before, they no longer have any such thoughts at this time.
Kan Shimin looked at the young man blankly, and after a while he asked in a hoarse voice:
"Yang, Fellow Daoist Yang, can you kill a third-level monster?"
"It's just a fluke," Yang Zhen said calmly: "It's just some poison left by the master. Those monsters were not guarded against."
"I see, what about the old demon tiger? Later..."
"Dead, died of poisoning in the illusion array."
"Where is Jun Chang'an?"
"The name is not worthy of the name. The moves are flashy and I took advantage of them."
"Did you kill him?"
"No. There are not many human monks on this island. If we can spare his life, let him go."
This last explanation made Kan Shimin secretly relieved.
Not just him, but the other nine people as well.
After all, if a monk who could kill third-level monsters with poison and easily defeated a perfect foundation-building monk had murderous intentions towards them, I am afraid that no one present would be able to survive.
The oppressive atmosphere in the forest gradually relaxed, and some people remembered that since all the third-level monsters had been killed, and with the help of this young man with unpredictable strength, who else could stop them on the Tiger Island?
"Elder brother!" A masked man advised: "In the Demon Tiger's lair, countless rare treasures have been plundered over the past hundreds of years. We might as well go in now and make a damn profit!"
"Yes, yes!" As soon as these words came out, everyone became interested, and the monk surnamed Zhu shouted:
"If you find something that is urgently needed in the community, you don't have to worry about your contribution this year!"
"That's right!" "Haha!"
The atmosphere became more and more heated, but Kan Shimin looked solemn and shook his head slowly:
"No! We can't stay on this island, we have to leave, and leave now!"
"There is probably a method of communication between the islands of the Changying Demon King that we are not aware of. It is night now, so the news may not be spread out, and it will be difficult to tell once it gets light. We must take advantage of this time to move to other islands. If you stay on Huju Island, you will surely die sooner or later!"
He had a high prestige among these people. As soon as he said this, although everyone felt sorry for the wealth, they did not dare to have any objections.
"Senior Brother Kan, where are we going?" someone asked.
"Giant Bear Island!" Kan Shimin made a decisive decision: "This island is commanded by an incense master from our association. The place is more hidden and safer, and the distance is only 1,200 miles. We can travel with our swords in three hours at most. We can arrive in time Arrive before dawn.”
It turns out that due to the rebellious behavior of the bear demon on Giant Bear Island, the human race not only fled in all directions, but also some of them were hiding in the mountains on the island, making it the largest force of the Red Tan Society on this island.
"Senior Brother Kan, there are still our brothers in the Tiger Roaring Valley." Someone else said hesitantly.
"This is easy to handle," Kan Shimin said: "We have eight foundation builders, and each sword can carry one person. Later we will quietly go to Huxiao Town and bring those junior brothers with us..."
"But, where are their families?" The man looked troubled.
It turned out that, just like Hong Zhian and Jiang Cunan, most of the qi training disciples of the Hong Tan Society lived with other monks in the town. This is a long-term test for them. Secondly, in the deep mountains, foundation-building monks have stronger survivability. Even if something happens, they can escape in time.
They are just Qi cultivators. Because they are still young, most of them live with their relatives. That would be fine in normal times, but now Huxiao Town is likely to face a disaster. If these relatives are not taken away, I am afraid it will not be justified.
"Feijian can only carry one person at most, otherwise the speed will be affected. If we can't reach our destination after dawn, our traces may be exposed." Kan Shimin worried.
The implication is obviously to give up those mortal relatives.
Hong Zhi'an's face showed a look of despair. Suddenly he thought of something and turned to Yang Zhen, his lips pursed.
Someone was the first to speak out for him, it was the monk surnamed Zhu.
"Junior Brother Yang," he cupped his hand with a very respectful attitude: "I wonder if I can borrow the spaceship for a while?"
"Junior Brother Yang, do you have a spaceship?" Kan Shimin said in surprise.
Yang Zhen nodded calmly and asked: "How many of us will leave in total?"
"Six Qi practitioners, plus their relatives, there will be no more than twenty people."
"Okay!" Yang Zhen took out something from the storage ring, but it was a second-level high-grade flying boat that could seat about thirty people.
"My sect has left two flying boats. This one has never been used due to my limited cultivation. Senior brother, please take it and use it!"
He has decided to act together with Hongtan Society. On the one hand, this is because he brought about the crisis in front of him. If this group of people is in danger, he has to help him out of emotion and reason. Even if they were knocked unconscious and thrown into space, it would be better than losing their lives.
On the other hand is the identity issue, let’s see if it can be resolved from here.
Since they are moving together, there is no need to skimp on a faster and more protective airship.
"I'm afraid you will be disappointed when we return to town later." He thought to himself.
…
The flying boat floated quietly above the Tiger Roaring Valley. Everyone on the boat stared with big eyes and small eyes, shocked and speechless.
Huxiao Town was completely silent, the kind of silence without any human habitation.
Everyone, whether monks or mortals, disappeared, leaving only an empty city.
"What's going on?" The monk surnamed Zhu asked in a voiceless voice.
Yang Zhen frowned and looked confused, but she secretly praised the three women in her heart.
It seemed like no one was left out, which was better this way without having to worry about things leaking out.
This is why he followed Hong Tanhui and even provided him with a big ship.
"There must be something fishy about this matter," he said slowly: "When I left, those people, including Jun Changan, were outside Danfang Courtyard, and I did not restrict their freedom. There is nothing strange in the town. movement."
"Has King Changying already been here?" Someone was horrified: "Has everyone in the town been captured?"
"Impossible!" Kan Shimin said flatly: "There are 20,000 people in Huxiao Town, and the monsters don't have such a big magic weapon to take them all away."
"Furthermore, with the habit of monsters, they can just torture people in the town, so why take people abducted?"
"Let's go down and take a look," he commanded as he controlled the flying boat to land slowly, "Everyone, be careful, work in groups of two or three, and search individually. Don't go too far, and gather in a quarter of an hour!"
Yang Zhen and Jiang Cunan returned to Danfang to check carefully, and found nothing else except the traces left by those people. But taking advantage of this time, he quietly picked up the little bluestone.
Soon, a quarter of an hour passed and everyone returned to the spacecraft. Hong Zhian and Jiang Cunan looked sad.
"If there is a chance in the future, let you and your relatives meet in space!" Yang Zhen promised secretly.
The flying boat turned around and headed towards the vast sea.
…
A second-level high-grade flying boat can reach thousands of miles per hour. Almost an hour later, the Giant Bear Island was already in sight.
On the way, Yang Zhen explained why she had launched an attack and how she had killed the monsters. Only then did everyone know that the island owner of Giant Bear Island had also been killed by this young man.
Despite this, in order to cover up people's eyes and ears, when it was twenty miles away, the spacecraft lowered its altitude and speed to half, then activated a concealment formation and quietly arrived on the island.
Then he continued to move forward, bypassing the lairs of two other third-level monsters, and entered a mountainous area less than half an hour later.
There is no need to go into details about the process after that. Under the leadership of Kan Shimin, everyone walked for another two quarters of an hour. During this period, they also took out their tokens and entered a certain formation. Finally, after twists and turns, they finally arrived at the place.
The first person who came out to greet him was a monk who was in the middle stage of foundation building. He was surprised when he saw Kan Shimin leading his troops to come. His expression changed drastically when he asked about the whole story.
"Xiong Yue was also killed?" The man glanced at Yang Zhen and hugged Kan Shimin's fists: "Everyone, please go down and report to the incense master later."
Yang Zhen was introduced to the people on the spaceship that the power structure of the Red Tan Club is the president, the great elder, the elder, the hall master, the incense master and the helmsman. Among them, the hall master and the incense master are in charge of the inside and outside, and their status is roughly equal. However, most of the hall masters are concurrently held by elders, and their status is higher than that of the incense master.
After half a cup of tea, the monk came out of the cave and made an invitation gesture to Kan Shimin: "Master Kan, Master Xiang has invited you."
Then he pointed at Yang Zhen: "Junior brother, the incense master also invites you to come in and talk."
He called another person and said to the other disciples: "Junior brothers, you have worked hard all the way. Please follow me, my junior brother, to rest, and I will take care of you tomorrow."
Everyone thanked them one after another, and Yang Zhen and Senior Brother Kan walked towards the cave.
The layout of this cave is similar to that of Huju Island, except that there is an unactivated killing array on the road, which is recognized by Yiyi who is hiding in the bluestone. Xiao Xiancao curled her lips with some disdain.
After walking like this for a long time, we came to a large hall. A burly, majestic-looking old man stood in the hall with his hands behind his back, staring at them with a scrutinizing gaze, most of which fell on Yang Zhen.
"My subordinate, Kan Shimin, has met Lord Miao Xiang." Senior Brother Kan saluted respectfully.
Yang Zhen also clasped her hands and said loudly: "Disciple Yang Zhen, I have met Master Miao."
This incense master is already at the early stage of Zi Mansion. Perhaps it is because of this kind of cultivation that he has been able to deal with monsters on this giant bear island to this day.
Miao Xiangzhu hummed, his eyes still locked on Yang Zhen, and suddenly asked:
"You killed Xiong Yue, is there any evidence?"
evidence? Of course Yang Zhen has evidence in her hands. The body of the demon bear is lying in space! However, he didn't plan to take them all out. Although Zui Fengzi's method of poisoning was rare, there were countless experts in the world of cultivating immortals, so it was hard to say that no one would notice it.
"Not only Xiong Yue, but also Hu Chen and the cat demon were killed," Yang Zhen replied: "But the storage space is limited, so I only had time to chop off the heads of these monsters..."
As he spoke, he raised his hand and a huge bear head appeared in front of several people.
"Sure enough, it's that guy Xiong Yue!" The disciple who brought them in shouted loudly.
Miao Xiangzhu stretched out his hand to grab the bear's head, put it in front of him and looked at it for a moment, then put it to the tip of his nose and smelled it vigorously, with a trace of suspicion on his face:
"Poisoned? What kind of poison?"
"I don't know about this. This thing is a relic of the master's sect. It can make third-level monsters weak, but I really don't know its specific name."
"Oh?" Miao Xiangzhu said dubiously: "Take it out and have a look."
"It's been used up."
"Run out?"
"Yes. There weren't many of them, and the disciple was worried that they weren't enough to control those monsters, so he used them all." Yang Zhen said with a calm expression.
Master Miao Xiang frowned, faintly unhappy.
"Who did you learn from, and where do you come from?" he then asked.
Yang Zhen once again recounted her experience of coming from the West Sea.
"Deep in the sea?" Miao Xiangzhu's eyes flashed coldly: "Do you have a sea map?"
"No."
"Dare you leave without you?" The old man's tone became even more unkind: "Little brother, maybe you think I am just like that demon tiger, easy to deceive!"
Yang Zhen cupped her hands and remained silent. He knew that his words would not stand up to scrutiny. However, you can’t tell the truth, right?
Master Miao Xiang stared coldly at the young man with his hands behind his back, also remaining silent.
There was a sudden silence in the hall, and you could hear a needle drop. Kan Shimin secretly glanced at Yang Zhen, feeling uneasy.
After a long time, Master Miao Xiang’s voice sounded:
"Little brother, you are brave and careful in killing monsters, and your methods are also powerful! It's a pity that the pond here is too shallow to keep a real dragon like you!"
"Your Excellency, please help yourself!"
After saying that, he flicked his sleeves and issued an order to expel the guests.
Yang Zhen saluted him, bowed her hands to everyone, turned around and left.
It was not that he had not expected this situation. Anyway, I have sent everyone from the Hongtan Club here, and I have fulfilled my wish. There is nothing to regret.
At this moment, I saw someone hurried in. It was the disciple who took everyone on Huju Island to rest. I saw this man walking quickly to Master Miao Xiang and whispering a few words in his ear.
Miao Xiangzhu raised his thick eyebrows, and a hint of surprise flashed in his eyes.
"Little brother, please stay!" he suddenly shouted loudly.
