Qu Wuming hurriedly lowered his body, covered his body with the Wuwu Hiding Robe even more tightly, and looked into the distance.
I saw that the direction of the chaotic sound happened to come from the location of the largest village in the middle.
It was far away here, and one could only hear someone in the village shouting something, and someone else blowing a sharp and high-pitched whistle.
After a while, the four surrounding villages also started to move amid the whistle. Many female ghost servants who were busy in the villages grabbed the nearest young ghost servants and hid in the nearest house while screaming. , while the male ghost servants grabbed all available weapons nearby, yelled and ran towards the lookout towers and village entrances around the village.
For a time, the five villages were in a state of chaos.
Among the five villages, in the direction of the buildings where ghost servant monks were suspected to live, a varying number of ghost servant monks had already risen into the sky, each releasing the power of their spiritual consciousness to explore the source of the chaos. go.
Qu Wuming saw the number of ghost servant cultivators leaping into the air from a distance, and he couldn't help but feel his scalp numb.
Without him, this number is really too much...
There are seven or eight ghost servant cultivators who exude the peak cultivation level of the God Transformation Stage. Among the several ghost servant cultivators rising into the sky in the largest building complex in the center, there seem to be two or three. The level of cultivation is at least in the early stage of refining the void!
The reason why he could come to this conclusion was that Qu Wuming had already felt the power of spiritual consciousness swept by those ghost servant cultivators as soon as they took off into the sky!
You know, the straight-line distance between Qu Wuming and them at this time is at least ten miles away!
If the cultivation level is below the Void Refining Stage, even if it is the normal peak cultivation level of the God Transformation Stage, it is impossible to extend the power of divine consciousness so far!
However, fortunately, the distance was far away. The power of spiritual consciousness of these two ghost servant monks had become very weak when it extended here. Although they scanned the top of the mountain where Qu Wuming was, they were unable to see through Qu Wuming's body. The cover of the hiding robe was quickly swept away, and no abnormality was found.
The chaotic situation in the Ghost Servant Village quickly calmed down after these ascetics appeared.
Almost all the ordinary ghost servant residents hid in the houses, and those who remained outside were almost all monks among the ghost servants and male ghost servants holding weapons.
It seems everything is about to return to normal.
However, Qu Wuming was condescending and soon noticed something strange in the village.
In the village closest to Qu Wuming, there is a ghost servant man holding a spear. He seems to be cautiously approaching the village wall. There is still about ten feet away before he can leave the village. .
In front of it, the ghost servant guards who originally guarded the village's lookout have been replaced by low-level monks among the ghost servants, keeping the entire village airtight.
On a lookout, two ghost servant monks seemed to have discovered this ghost servant man who was still wandering around despite his orders, and they started shouting and waving to him from a distance.
Now, Qu Wuming could understand the language of the ghost servant, and vaguely heard the ghost servant monk seeming to be shouting, telling the ghost servant man to go back and not get close to the wall.
However, the spear-wielding ghost servant man turned a deaf ear to the shouts from the lookout and continued to approach the wall step by step...
Finally, the ghost servant monks on the lookout realized something was wrong. One of them raised his hand and offered a rope-like magic weapon, and shot it towards the ghost servant man with a whoosh.
The ghost servant man seemed unaware and was still walking towards the village wall. Suddenly he was hit by the rope and was immediately tied up like a silkworm chrysalis.
When the ghost servant cultivator on the observation deck saw this, he cursed something in his mouth, raised his hand, and the rope flew back upside down, carrying the ghost servant man up to the observation deck.
Just when the ghost servant monk was about to pull the ghost servant man up and question him, the ghost servant man suddenly shuddered and easily broke away from its magic weapon. He stretched out his hands and thrust forward, directly inserting it. In the chests of two ghost servant monks.
The two ghost servant cultivators didn't seem to have very high cultivation levels. Under the blow from the ghost servant man, they fell down like two piles of mud without even humming.
Qu Wuming could see clearly from the top of the mountain and guessed that the ghost servant man had already used the power of his spiritual consciousness to imprison the bodies of the two ghost servant cultivators, preventing them from making any abnormal noise at all.
After killing the two men silently, the ghost servant man quietly flew down from the other side of the observation tower like a ghost, jumped over the village wall, and a burst of black smoke flashed from his body. , the body has turned into a looming shadow, floating straight outside the village.
Qu Wuming frowned slightly at the sight, and when he was secretly wondering whether to change places - because the direction the Ghost Servant man was heading was obviously the mountain where Qu Wuming was hiding - a cold sound came from the direction of the Ghost Servant Village. Come on.
The next moment, hundreds of dark golden light pillars suddenly appeared in a radius of more than ten miles nearby.
Those light pillars are extremely tall, each one is a hundred feet high, and the golden light is shining like a sky pillar, reaching straight into the sky.
Each light pillar is not very thick, only about two feet in diameter.
On the pillars, there were countless runes floating faintly. Qu Wuming looked at the nearest light pillars and found that the runes on them were actually the ancient immortal world texts that he knew.
"This... seems to be some kind of ancient formation!" Qu Wuming only looked at a few light beams before he could see the extraordinary features of this formation. "The Wuwu Hiding Robe... I'm afraid it's useless."
There was a burst of light flowing on Qu Wuming's Wuwang Hiding Robe, and in the blink of an eye, it had returned to the appearance of a gray hooded robe, with no hiding effect at all.
And the Ghost Servant man who sneaked out from the Ghost Servant Village was even more unbearable. He turned into a phantom and rushed forward, but suddenly his concealment technique failed, and his escape technique was also broken at the same time. He couldn't help but sigh. He rolled to the ground with a loud sound and rolled several times on the ground like a rolling gourd. The clothes on his body were also covered with dirt, and the hood on his head was also thrown behind his back.
At this moment, the appearance of the ghost servant man changed dramatically. The originally thin and slender body quickly became thicker, and the dark skin became fairer. When the ghost servant man stood up When he got up, he turned into a middle-aged man wearing a black cloak!
The middle-aged man obviously did not expect that the Ghost Servant clan would have such a large formation that could cover such a vast area. Before he could escape smoothly, he was defeated by Xingzang.
Maybe he was brave because of his skill. Seeing that his whereabouts had been exposed, the middle-aged man simply stopped hiding and suddenly jumped up, turning into a golden light and flying straight into the distance!
At this time, Qu Wuming had already seen the middle-aged man's face from a distance, and couldn't help but secretly laugh: "Eh? It's actually him?!"
It turned out that the middle-aged man was no one else, but an "acquaintance" of Qu Wuming.
This person’s name is Xing Mingxin, and he is now an elder of the Yin Yang Ghost Sect in the Eastern Continent. He is good at summoning ghosts and transporting and moving space. Before joining the Yin Yang Ghost Sect, he was a casual cultivator. He once had a flower. His name is "The Greatest Thief of Ghosts". It is said that as long as he takes a fancy to something, no matter how secretly it is hidden, he can steal it out and keep it for himself without anyone noticing.
Moreover, this person is also good at refining weapons. After many treasures are stolen by him, they will be reshaped and refined by him. When he takes them out for use in the future, they may have been changed beyond recognition, and even the original owner may not be the same. I can recognize it...
After seeing this person, Qu Wuming probably guessed one thing - no matter who the Duyou cloak from Xianghe Zhaibeijiang Snowy City Branch ended up with, I'm afraid it would have already happened before leaving Beijiang Snowy City. Do you regret it so much?
Xing Xin and Qu Wuming have been feuding for a long time. They have long wanted to kill each other, but they have never been able to do so.
It's not that the two had any personal grudges at first, the reason for their grudge wasn't even an accident...
At that time, Xing Xin had not yet joined the Yin Yang Ghost Sect, and was just a rogue cultivator with a habit of stealing.
One morning, Qu Wuming passed by a place called Huajia Village. He was just passing by, but he accidentally discovered that there was a lot of noise in the village. The men in the village gathered in the village holding sticks and farm tools, seemingly searching from house to house. They were talking about something, and there were cries from several families, and the sounds seemed to be full of sadness and despair.
Qu Wuming appeared riding a black donkey and quickly attracted the attention of the men in the village. Many people gathered around and asked where Qu Wuming was from and whether he had been to Huajia Village last night. Have you ever seen anyone leaving Huajia Village on the road?
After several inquiries, Qu Wuming found out that all the hundreds of households in Huajia Village had been collectively stolen. Moreover, most of the lost items were relatively valuable items such as gold, silver, and jewelry from home.
You know, although Huajia Village is considered a relatively wealthy village among the eight villages in ten miles, most of them are just ordinary families. The gold, silver and jewelry accumulated by each family are not too much, and many of them are even inherited from their ancestors.
The families who cried the most sadly were because there were patients at home who were waiting for medicine and consultation, but all their money was lost overnight, and the neighbors had no money to borrow, which is why they cried so desperately.
After Qu Wuming learned about the situation in the village, he couldn't help but feel helpless. Not long after, the local government also received the report and sent two police officers to investigate. One of the police officers, who was about fifty years old, turned out to be A Taoist in the Qi refining period.
Qu Wuming was traveling around at that time and had nothing important to do, so he revealed his identity to the headman, hoping to help him.
The catcher was naturally overjoyed and hurriedly thanked Qu Wuming and took Qu Wuming from house to house to investigate.
After some investigations, the catcher's brows became more and more frowned, because many clues pointed to one result - the person who stole was not an ordinary thief, but a Taoist, and what's more, the Taoist's cultivation level It doesn't seem to be low.
After several inquiries, the head catcher finally locked in on a special person...
