It is three hundred miles outside Lianhua Town.
Zhong Yan and the four of them landed in a small forest.
"We will be able to enter Jingzhou in two or three days."
Zhong Yan turned over and took out the kettle and handed it to Li Jingqiu.
"Thank you, sir!" Li Jingqiu's beautiful eyes sparkled.
Even though she knew it was because she didn't bring any supplies, it still made her feel sweet every time her husband gave her water and dry food first.
"I'll start taking the official route tomorrow. It's easy to meet monks. Remember the precautions I told you."
"Yes, sir!"
The words fell.
Yuan Ziyi's eyes flashed as he drank water, he turned his head and looked at Zhong Yan, "A monk is coming this way."
Zhong Yan also looked at her, "One in front and three in back, eight or nine levels of Qi refining."
Yuan Ziyi's heart moved slightly, her husband's consciousness was not much weaker than his own.
"You hide first."
Yuan Ziyi nodded, leaned against the big tree next to him, and used the Wood Escape Technique to disappear into the dense branches and leaves without a trace.
Jiang Huan and Li Jingqiu both felt nervous. They stood up and stood on both sides of their husband, holding on to the swords in their hands.
The person came very quickly, rushing into the forest and into view in the blink of an eye.
In front of them was a ninth-level Qi-refining woman in white clothes stained with blood. The vitality in her waist was surging, and she was obviously affixed with an accelerating 'divine walking talisman'. As she ran, her feet turned sharply in the wrong direction, and she rushed straight towards the three of them, shouting. A voice: "Brother Dao, save me!"
Tsk~
A ray of sword light shot out from behind, cutting off pieces of green leaves, and hit the back shoulder of the woman in white when the talisman around her waist was dim.
"Pfft~"
A mouthful of blood spurted out, and the woman in white fell to the ground. She stood up and stumbled to a position seven or eight meters away from Zhong Yan. Her beautiful face was extremely pale. She looked up and said: "Help me..."
As for the pursuers from behind, a man and a woman wielded swords at the eighth level of Qi Refining. Below, the man at the ninth level of Qi Refining was running ahead, and it was he who shot the sword light.
The three of them were wearing uniform green shirts with a logo composed of two overlapping circles printed on their chests, and they stopped twenty meters away.
The leading man glanced at the woman, then looked at Zhong Yan and said: "This woman is an evil cultivator and has done many evil things. We are from the Ba Yuan Sect. We are ordered by the master to eliminate demons and protect the Tao, and capture and kill this beast. Please stop meddling in other Taoists' business!" "
At this moment, the woman in white had already stood up and took two steps towards Zhong Yan and the others. With an angry look on her face, she spoke weakly but very fast:
"Brother Taoist, don't listen to his nonsense. I registered as a casual cultivator for the Keqing Mansion in Jinguang City. They coveted my storage bag and have killed three of my companions. I also ask Brother Taoist to help me. I am willing to donate all the proceeds from Mangdang Mountain to Taoism. Brother! There will be a generous reward afterwards!"
Zhong Yan had already held the talisman in a vigilant posture. Hearing this, he breathed a sigh of relief and cupped his fists towards the three of them: "The evil cultivator should be killed. Three fellow Taoists, please be patient."
After saying that, he led Jiang and Li back.
"Do it!"
The leading man shouted, staring at Zhong Yan momentarily in case something changed.
The other two, the male cultivator raised his sword and rushed towards the woman in white with a face full of despair, while the female cultivator controlled a dagger to attack from a distance.
Within a radius of five feet, the vitality was surging, there was a roar and a bang, and the grass and soil were flying.
Judging from the fighting situation, the two groups had already experienced fierce battles before, and their energy and strength were insufficient.
Within ten rounds, the seriously injured woman in white was stabbed through the chest with a sword, but she counterattacked before her death, shocking her opponent until blood flowed from the corner of her mouth and her breath was disordered.
The eighth-floor male cultivator swallowed a handful of pills and sat down cross-legged to heal his injuries.
The female cultivator stepped forward and took off the storage bag of the woman in white, then carefully groped her body, then took the body away and then returned.
The leading man took the storage bag from the junior sister's hand, glanced at it, and hung it on his waist. There were six storage bags in total, which was extremely eye-catching.
He showed a smile, walked closer to Zhong Yan, cupped his hands and said: "My Taoist friend understands the righteousness very well, and I admire you. I will have a drink with you and chat about it someday. I won't disturb my Taoist friend's rest today. I'll see you later..."
Zhong Yan grinned, clasped his hands together, and three small swords shot out, turning into silver streamers and running towards the three of them respectively, shouting: "Kill!"
Condensing Sword Technique!
At the same time, a purple shadow rushed out from the tree crown, like a flying fairy from the sky.
Bang!
Chichi~
In the sudden change, the leading man who was always wary of Zhong Yan was slapped away by Yuan Ziyi from the air.
The other two people responded in time, but they were not as fast as Zhong Yan's preemptive strike. Their throats were cut by the silver sword that disappeared in a flash, and they fell to the ground, clutching their necks and bleeding.
Jiang Huan and Li Jingqiu looked at each other and couldn't help but swallow their saliva.
Hearing her husband say "clean the battlefield", the two of them said "Oh", but they didn't know what to do, so they ran to pick up the storage bags.
Zhong Yan walked up to the unconscious leading man, pointed his finger between the eyebrows, and took the storage bag on his waist into his hand.
"Husband!"
"Give!"
Zhong Yan turned his head and saw Jiang Huan and Li Jingqiu holding a storage bag in front of them. He blinked and suddenly missed Yan Sandao.
If she were here, she would know what to do without being told.
Zhong Yan used his spiritual consciousness to forcefully erase the restrictions on the storage bag, looked at it carefully, and smiled at the corner of his mouth.
Judging from the items and clothing inside, five of them are disciples from the Ba Yuan Sect. They have thousands of spiritual stones in total, as well as many other miscellaneous spiritual materials.
The remaining four storage bags contained the corpses of monsters and various spiritual herbs and elixirs, which should have belonged to the woman in white. They were almost worth the value of the resources that Li Henian obtained from Mangdang Mountain.
After pondering for a moment, Zhong Yan threw a fireball to burn the three disciples of the Ba Yuan Sect to salvation, then took out the items from the many storages one by one, quickly sorted them, and put them into his storage bag.
"Clean up the traces we left around us."
"These three people are inner disciples of the sect. Apart from resources, they cannot ask for anything else, especially items such as jade pendants, which may be tracked..."
Zhong Yan explained with smooth movements.
After half a quarter of an hour, he determined that there was no problem. He looked at the body of the woman in white on the ground, thought for a while and said, "Take off her clothes."
"ah?"
Xiaohuan was stunned for a moment, nodded his head and said "oh", then hurriedly stepped forward and stripped the woman naked.
A snow-white jade body appeared.
Zhong Yan glanced around, his eyes focused, and he squatted down and grabbed his arm to take a closer look.
There is a tattoo on his left shoulder, which is a silk-leaf red flower, small and exquisite, as red as blood, about the size of a thumb, and lifelike.
"What kind of flower is this?" Jiang Huan asked.
Yuan Ziyi, who was standing not far away and was alert to the surroundings, looked at it and said: "The flower of the other shore."
Zhong Yan's eyes flickered.
Originally, I just saw Naha Yuanzong's disciples taking the storage bag and searching her body carefully, and finally even asked for the body. So I guessed that their purpose of chasing the woman was not just the resources in the storage bag, so I removed her clothes to see if there were any clues. Get bigger gains.
The result was such an accident.
He has seen this tattoo before!
In Feixian Pavilion, when I met Ruoyun and Shuixian Chunxiao, I saw that Shuixian also had such a flower tattoo on his left shoulder.
Is it related to the Palace of Eternal Life... Zhong Yan secretly thought to himself. He swept away the blood on the woman's face with a flick of his sleeves, took out the 'Image Gathering Talisman' to mark her appearance, and finally set fire to the corpse.
"Walk!"
Destroy the corpses, wipe out traces, and walk away.
More than ten miles later.
Zhong Yan jumped off the flying sword, used Earth Escape, and buried the few storage bags he had obtained deep into the ground.
