The two women's faces turned red and they both turned their heads in embarrassment. Bai Yiyi spat and said, "Whoever stared at you thought you were burned by the flames and lost your mind. You really don't have good intentions!"
Cheng Ling smiled bitterly, quickly took out a set of clothes from the ring and put them on. After a while, he asked: "Why did you come out? How is the situation in the Agni Fire Cult?"
"They all collapsed, the entire molten cave was destroyed, and no monks from the Agni Fire Sect were left alive!"
Cheng Ling was surprised, and just as he was about to ask, the voice of Meteor Fire came from his mind: "Uh...! Master, I'm sorry, I just returned to my original state and absorbed it too hard, destroying the entire molten cave."
Cheng Ling was speechless and asked, "Have you recovered?"
"about there!"
Cheng Ling let out a long breath and said to the two women: "Okay, now the affairs of the Agni Fire Cult have come to an end. Next, we have to go to the north. Let's sum it up first. How do we get back to the academy?"
Bai Yiyi asked: "What are your plans?"
"I plan to go all the way north and search along the road to see if I can find any traces of Brother Jian and Wu Chenlong. By the way, I can also find out about the confrontation between the academy and the seven major forces. After such a long time, some changes should have taken place."
The two women looked at each other and nodded in agreement.
Cheng Ling said: "Today, we will rest here for a day. We have improved a lot during this period and our spirits are also very tired. To sum up, let's set off again tomorrow!"
The two women agreed that in the past two months, they had greatly improved in terms of sword intent, artistic conception, and true energy. It did take some time to digest it, and the loss of mental power also needed to be recovered. He sat down on the ground, closed his eyes, and slowly realized.
Cheng Ling sat down cross-legged and sorted out his two months' income. The trip to the Agni Fire Sect has yielded huge gains. The sword intention has reached 50%, the artistic conception of water and fire have reached 70%, the physical training has broken through to the peak of secrets, the wood phase spiritual art has also reached the peak of the second level of grafting flowers and trees, and the survivability has greatly increased. .
The cultivation level has been raised to the perfection of Nascent Soul, and the sword technique of Burning Fire has been perfected. Under the improvement of the artistic conception of fire, the Seven Purple Flame Swordsmen have comprehended the seventh sword. The happiest thing is the Bibo Sword Technique taught by the Golden Page. The first six moves are all The understanding is complete, and the last move has touched the surface.
The overall combat power has increased several times compared to when he left the Famous Sword Academy. Now I can kill the original Gale Demon Wolf with just one sword. You can imagine how big the improvement is. With his current strength, he is sure to be among the top ten in the core disciple list!
Next, we must continue to improve our cultivation in the Nascent Soul stage and strive to reach the peak of perfection as soon as possible. There is also the final move of the Bibo Qianli sword technique, Mirror Flower, Water Moon. This sword technique is extremely powerful, several times as powerful as the sixth move, Autumn Water Ripples.
When he returns to the academy, based on the degree of completion of this mission, he should be able to become a core disciple. Then he chose to practice a sword technique, and with the help of Blue Waves Thousand Miles, his fighting power was so strong that even Qiu Ruohen, the court servant at the time, dared to fight.
Most of the five-year goal originally set was completed in less than a year. By then, if you break through to God Transformation and look for opportunities to upgrade the formation level, you can go to Canglang Sea again to rescue Bai Suzhen and Eunuch Hai.
But now, we still have to get over the difficulties in the academy. In the past two months, the confrontation between the academy and the seven major powers must have reached a fierce stage. It is very likely that both sides have fought, otherwise the Agni Fire Cult would not have sent out all their elites, and the support from the north was ahead.
So what should the three of them do? The combined strength of the three of them is now many times stronger than before. The leader level of the Agni Fire Sect can be easily killed one on one. Perhaps only the protector can cause some trouble.
Similarly, many Nascent Soul Perfection cultivators among the seven major forces can also be killed. Do you want to stir things up behind them? Which force should we choose?
In Cheng Ling's heart, the first choice is the Cheng family. The master's hatred will never let go. The second choice is the Liu family. Old man Liu Jinsong almost killed him.
. There is no reason why such hatred cannot be settled. As for other forces, as long as they don't provoke them, he doesn't want to take the initiative!
"Let's wait until we find out the news from the north before making a decision!"
He murmured something, took a long breath, closed his eyes, relaxed his whole body, and fell into a deep sleep.
I slept until noon the next day. Cheng Ling woke up leisurely, opened his eyes, and saw Bai Yiyi and Gu Youlan sitting quietly aside, waiting for him to wake up.
He smiled awkwardly and said, "Sorry for keeping you two waiting."
Bai Yiyi smiled and said: "You slept for a long time, we woke up long ago. If Sister Youlan hadn't stopped me, I would have woken you up!"
Cheng Ling glanced at Gu Youlan and smiled gratefully. The latter's face turned slightly red, but soon returned to normal. He was secretly wondering in his heart. Looking at Gu Youlan's appearance, although she was still cold, she really wanted to care about him. Could it really mean that?
Without waiting for him to think deeply, Bai Yiyi asked: "Brother Ling, how are you? What should we do next?"
Cheng Ling nodded and said: "Let's go to the north first, find out the news, see what the situation is there, and then make plans!"
"Okay, let's set off immediately and find Brother Jian as soon as possible!" After saying that, the three of them got up at the same time and walked towards the north.
There are many trees in the dense forest of the mountains, and there are few traces of human activities in the entire area. The three of them walked through the dense forest at a very fast speed. They rush on the road during the day and rest at night. It's not that they are not in a hurry, but that a large number of monsters come out to be active at night, so they are afraid of causing unnecessary trouble.
There are dangerous areas along the road, not only monsters, but also monks from the seven major forces. In the event of a fight, the movement would likely wake them up. Therefore, they avoided the territory of powerful monsters along the way and looked for remote paths to head north.
Three days later, they finally saw sporadic traces of monks. Judging from their attire, they belonged to the four major families. They were obviously sentry scouts wandering around the periphery.
"I'll grab a tongue first. You guys wait for me on the hillside over there!" Cheng Ling pointed to a hidden hillside on the left and said.
The two women nodded and headed towards the hillside.
Cheng Ling stared at a monk in the Nascent Soul Stage and quietly approached him. When the opponent is not paying attention, it suddenly explodes and knocks the opponent out instantly. After knocking him unconscious, he grabbed him far away, made a big circle, and then returned to the hillside to wake him up.
The two women had been waiting on the hillside for a long time. When they saw him bringing someone over, they both went up to greet him.
Cheng Ling pulled out his long sword and cut off the monk's ear with two swipes. Sen said in a cold voice: "Now, I'll ask you a few questions. If you hesitate for three breaths, I'll start cutting off your fingers." , until the body turns into a human stick!"
The monk shivered intelligently and said tremblingly: "What do you want to ask?"
"Which family are you a disciple of?"
"Ouyang Family."
Cheng Ling was startled. This was the first time for the Ouyang family to come into contact with him. He didn't expect that their children would also confront the academy in the north.
"Where are the positions of each family?"
"They are all in the north, and the top leaders of the four major families are united!"
"What's the situation in the north? Tell me in detail."
"Two months ago, there was a fierce battle between the Famous Sword Academy and the Agni Fire Cult. The Academy was defeated. Later, the people from the Agni Fire Cult went north and joined forces with people from the seven major forces. The two sides faced off on the plains under Shiwan Mountain. .”
"Have you had any fights recently?"
No, from the confrontation to the present, neither side has taken action, but only defended themselves. "
"Which direction are the people from the Agni Cult?"
"They are in the West and there are many of them!"
"How many people are you here?"
"Now the four major families and Yujianmen are here. The four major families have a total of about
One hundred thousand, Yujian Sect one hundred thousand, Agni Sect 30,000. "
"Where is the Sword Control Gate?"
"The Sword Control Gate is located near the east."
Cheng Ling chuckled and said, "For the sake of your honest answer, I won't kill you. Whether you can survive or not depends on your luck." After speaking, he moved his hand and knocked him out again.
After winking at the two women, Cheng Ling took the lead and headed west.
The three of them came to a cliff. Cheng Ling dug out a cave, set up a magic array outside, and then walked in.
Bai Yiyi asked: "Brother Ling, what should we do next?"
Cheng Ling pondered for a long time and said: "According to what the monk said, the situation at hand is not good. The academy has not launched an attack for two months, and hundreds of elites from the Fa Dao Academy have been lost in vain. This is obviously unreasonable. What do you think? ?”
Bai Yiyi sighed and said: "This is also the Fa Dao Court. If it were other branches, the fight would have started long ago."
"Why do you say that?"
"The disciples of the Fa Dao Yuan are used to being domineering and do not look down on the disciples of the Ken Dao Yuan and the Martial Dao Yuan at all. Therefore, they suffer a loss and the other two academies will not jump out. And this time it is Uncle Jian who leads the team. No. We will never start a war easily until our traces are found.”
"Oh, you are familiar with the Master of the Sword Academy?"
"He is Brother Jian's biological uncle, what do you think?"
Cheng Ling secretly had a headache. There were threats from the seven major forces on the outside, and there was no way to form a joint force internally. This battle was too difficult to fight. After thinking for a long time, he said: "Then we will take two steps!"
"Which two steps?"
"The first step is to find one of the families and attack their lair directly. If there is a fire in the backyard, the situation ahead will inevitably change drastically."
"The second step is that the monks of the Agni Fire Sect are in the west. Now that their old nest has been destroyed by us, the monks outside are like rootless duckweeds. We can defeat them one by one and kill as many of their high-level monks as possible. As for the remaining The members of the congregation are all a mob and are not worth worrying about."
The two women thought for a moment and both agreed. Bai Yiyi asked again: "Then we should kill the people of the Fiery Sect first so that we can find the family members?"
"Children of the family!"
"Which family are you planning to attack?"
"Cheng family!"
"Why? Aren't you a member of the Cheng family?"
Cheng Ling said angrily: "Who told you that I am a child of the Cheng family? I wish I could kill them!"
After saying that, murderous intent flashed in his eyes, the hatred of the Cheng family was indeed hard to let go!
"Brother Ling, do you have any grudge against the Cheng family?"
"There is a grudge. They killed my master. Let's make an agreement first. Although dealing with the Cheng family is beneficial to the academy, it is still my personal grudge after all. If you don't want to, you don't have to participate!"
Bai Yiyi hurriedly said: "Yes, of course we are willing to help you. They killed your master and they bullied you. Of course they want justice. Sister Youlan, don't you think so?"
Gu Youlan nodded silently and looked at Cheng Ling with a gentle flash in her eyes.
Cheng Ling felt warm in her heart, and it was worth it that she protected each other all the way. These two girls were still very capable.
Bai Yiyi asked again: "How are you going to do it?"
Cheng Ling said: "Following the clues, I know a secret stronghold of the Cheng family. As long as there is a breakthrough there, the Cheng family's resource channels in the south will die, and then all their peripheral children will be killed. I don't believe it. Without resources, They can still sit still!”
"Okay, let's do as you say! Let's go look for the Cheng family's stronghold first. As for the Agni Fire Cult, if we encounter them, we'll kill them."
Cheng Ling nodded and walked in the direction of the stronghold indicated by the disciples of the Cheng family in the Senlong Hall. She was still chanting in her heart: "Master, the only Cheng family left is that none of the people who harmed you can escape!"
