In the guest room, Ji Pingan frowned, thinking about the meaning of several broken pictures in his mind, and tried to connect them with logic.
Especially the dark red skirt...
"What kind of unfolding is this?" Ji Ping'an pinched his eyebrows with a strange expression, thinking about the next response as time passed bit by bit.
Finally, along with the sound of people rushing upstairs, a familiar voice sounded outside the door:
"Master Li, the result of the alliance has come out!"
Ji Ping'an recovered from his chin-resting state and said "come in".
He saw Lu Qing walking in, followed by Yu Yu and Pei Qian who were attracted by the silence.
Lu Qing had a solemn expression and said quickly:
"The Wulin Alliance has reached an agreement. From now on, except for leaving some masters to guard Qixia Town, the other factions will take their disciples to various places in Sanhuang County to curb the growth of Gu insects. The Wulin Alliance will also issue rewards and call on the people in the town to The warriors and Qimen monks will work together."
It's pretty fast... Ji Ping'an said "yes" and said:
"How are you preparing for Longhu Mountain?"
Lu Qing said:
"Master originally wanted to take action in person, but was stopped by Alliance Leader Jiang. He was worried that the Four Saints were deliberately luring several injured masters out. Therefore, including the Master of the Broken Blade Sect, the Master of the Hell Sect, the Chief Helmsman of the Heaven and Earth Society, and Four of them, including my master, are still in the town, protected by Alliance Leader Jiang personally, and I will lead my brothers out to kill the enemy."
He briefly described the situation and said:
"The situation is urgent now. Any more delay in burning the incense will make the situation worse. I am here to say goodbye to the young master, and I will leave the town later. I wonder how you are prepared?"
The implication:
If Ji Pingan and others also want to leave, he hopes to form a team together.
Ji Ping'an shook his head and said:
"I haven't thought about it yet, let's wait and see."
Lu Qing nodded, hesitated to speak, and finally clasped his fists and walked away quickly.
After they left, Yu Yuqiong snorted:
"Do you have an idea?"
Ji Pingan nodded and said:
"We cannot sit idly by and ignore this matter. Once the Four Holy Sects succeed and gradually take over the martial arts world, they will be in great trouble."
Back then, he personally eradicated the Four Holy Sects from the martial arts world. He knew how difficult it would be to uproot these demonic monks once they spread.
So, even though it seemed "safer" to stay in the town, he decided to take action.
Of course, it was not just a rescue. From the horoscope just now, he clearly realized that there were both risks and opportunities in his future.
Leaving Qixia Town will encounter dangers, but at the same time, you will also gain unimaginable huge gains.
"Okay, I'll go pack my things!"
Yu Yu was very excited, with excitement and anger on his face, and he was gearing up.
The Saint thinks this is called experience. What’s the point of bullying a bunch of martial artists?
"where are we going?"
"The direction of Qidun Mountain, huh, is the mountains and rivers we passed through when coming from Yuhang." Ji Ping'an said.
Is this equivalent to going back the same way?
...Pei Qian was stunned for a few seconds, and then jumped up excitedly:
"I...I'll go too!"
Ji Pingan shook his head helplessly.
After waiting quietly for a moment, he saw dark feathers falling in the room. Hei Changshi stepped out, cupped his hands and said:
"Ji Sichen."
Ji Ping'an looked calm:
"Are you here to say goodbye? If my guess is correct, we can no longer contact the Beast Control Sect through conventional means."
Hei Changshi was silent, then nodded and said solemnly:
"Indeed. In addition, I'm worried that the beast carrier pigeon will be intercepted when released, so I can only go there in person. I hope it's not too late."
The Beast Control Sect is not close to Sanhuang County, and considering that although the Beast Control Sect's disciples are powerful, their numbers are limited, they may not be able to suppress this force even if they arrive.
Ji Ping'an was not surprised. He raised his hand and threw out a crude hand-drawn map and said:
"Taking this route should save some trouble."
Hei Changshi was startled. Thinking of the capabilities of the "Star Official" system, he couldn't help but express his gratitude and said goodbye.
Don't forget to send a message to Xu Yuanyun so that she can go to Yuhang when she is free... Ji Pingan hesitated for a moment, but still did not add this sentence - it seemed that he was a little hungry and thirsty, and he knew the taste of food.
After sending Hei Changshi away, he turned to look out the window at the warriors hurriedly walking on the street.
He squinted his eyes, flipped his wrist, and with a "pop" sound, he took out an ancient sword-wielding man's jade medal, and poured a trace of spiritual essence into it to light it up.
In my mind, I remembered the conversation I had with Yuhang Yinguan "Song Xuezheng" on the eve of this outing:
Ji Ping'an:
"I will leave in the next few days and pass down the order. The dark network killers will go to Qixia Town to participate in the alliance. Once they get my order, they can cooperate with each other."
Song Xuezheng felt a chill in his heart and did not dare to delay:
"I obey my orders!"
So, when Ye Hongling led the Demon Slaying Division and began to search for the "Dark Net" killer in the city, the practitioners who participated in that night's fight had already disguised themselves and rushed to Qixia Town in various ways.
Now, it's time to activate these people again.
"Pei Qian."
Suddenly, Ji Ping'an remembered something, called the third young master who was packing his bags at the opposite door, and warned:
"Later, find an opportunity to reveal where we are going to the Wulin Alliance."
Pei Qian was stunned and nodded subconsciously: "Okay."
Then he subconsciously asked: "Is this necessary?"
Ji Ping'an smiled, with a hint of coldness in his warm eyes:
"Some fish need to be caught and killed."
…
In the town, the atmosphere was stormy.
Every building is filled with the meaning of "the rain is coming".
Near the martial arts arena, as the central area of Qixia Town, there are several restaurants. It is also a place where most small sects and individuals gather to exchange information.
At this time, someone put up a huge notice board, which instantly attracted a large crowd of people from all walks of life.
In a restaurant on the street, Wei Huayang sat by the window, his black and white eyes looking at the crowd below through the gap in the window lattice.
"Nvxia, the meal you want..."
The waiter came over with a tray, and suddenly Wei Huayang pressed his shoulder with the scabbard of his sword, and asked calmly: "What are the people down there doing?"
The waiter shrank his neck and hurriedly explained:
"The reward list posted by the Wulin League divides various areas in Sanhuang County into areas. Jianghu people in the town can register and choose to go to that area to help and eliminate the iron corpse. There are corresponding rewards. Now everyone is fighting for it. Woolen cloth."
All the excitement in the world is for the benefit.
The Wulin League wanted to mobilize the Central Plains Wulin and chose the most direct method:
Give money.
There may not be many righteous people in the world, but a lot of people are keen to kill some undeveloped iron corpses in exchange for rewards. At least it sounds more cost-effective than fighting the demon cultivators of the Four Saints.
Wei Huayang's eyes flashed and he retracted the scabbard: "Go away."
The waiter ran away quickly.
Wei Huayang raised his hand and gently pushed up the brim of his hat, looking towards the crowd below, with green light flowing in his eyes.
The next second, she noticed that several people standing in different positions in the crowd raised their hands to press somewhere on their bodies at the same time, and then avoided the crowd.
Not long after, they got into the crowd one after another and walked towards the notice board.
Under the notice board, there is a long table with a middle-aged man wearing a black short shirt writing a book.
"Next one." He lowered his head to finish recording, then raised his head as usual, and saw a man with a plain face but murderous eyes pointing to a certain area on the map: "Here."
"Okay, next one."
A monk came over with a cold expression, but he was wearing a thick cloak in summer, covering his broken arm: "There."
"Next."
"Ahem..." A sickly scholar dressed as a Qimen monk raised his hand and tapped somewhere on the map, speaking in a suppressed voice:
"here."
As the names were written down one by one, the middle-aged man couldn't help but mutter:
"There were no candidates here in Qidunshan before, so how come there are so many of them all of a sudden."
"Where did you say there were more?" Suddenly, a female voice came. The middle-aged man raised his head and saw the short-haired Taoist female headmaster wearing a bamboo hat. The latter said lightly:
"I'll go here too."
After saying that, Wei Huayang wrote down his pseudonym coolly and turned around to leave.
…
One afternoon, the martial arts arena was blocked by water.
The Jianghu people in the Central Plains Wulin registered one by one, then immediately packed up their belongings and hurriedly left Qixia Town and rushed to various places in Sanhuang County.
In a short period of time, the originally bustling and overcrowded town quickly became quiet.
In a certain house.
When Ding Huan learned the latest information from his disciples, he raised his eyebrows slightly:
"You're saying that Mr. Li is going to settle the charges near Qidun Mountain?"
The disciple nodded:
"It was the people from the Martial Arts Alliance who went to inquire about it and found out from the mouth of the Pei family's disciple."
Once an organization reaches a certain size, it becomes difficult to keep secrets.
Ding Huan squinted his eyes and thought for a moment, nodded, waved his hand and said:
"I understand, please step back."
After everyone left, the famous martial artist stood up and walked back to his bedroom.
When he came to the table, he took out a pen and paper and quickly wrote a secret letter using encryption. Then he rolled it up and stuffed it into a copper tube. He also took out a carrier pigeon from the birdcage in the house and tied the copper tube to it. on the legs.
Come to the window and throw it out with all your strength.
"Plop la la."
The homing pigeon flapped its wings and quickly rose in height, becoming a small dot.
It circled over the town and flew toward the southeast of the town. Soon, it left the entire town behind, leaving only the rapidly sweeping wilderness below.
After a while, it locked onto a forest, flapped its wings and slowly landed, finally being caught by a masked man wearing soft armor who was on duty at the edge of the forest.
He ran all the way into the forest. After a while, birds in the forest flew away in fright.
Amidst the neat sound of horse hooves, a group of cavalry with strong armor and well-equipped weapons rushed out of the forest like a torrent of steel and ran in a certain direction along the official road.
The leader was covered in armor and masked. He was tall and tall, like a black iron pagoda. The big gun in his hand was dark and heavy, emitting an icy coldness.
…
"Dong dong dong!"
In the Wulin League, in a room in a certain courtyard, Buyi Shenxiang woke up from his sleep, staggered to the door and smashed it:
"There is no one there!"
Not long after, footsteps were heard in the corridor, and the guard's face appeared in the gap of the chained door:
"What's the ghost's name? It's not even dinner time yet!"
I'm not a regular person...Buyi looked unconvinced and said:
"I just observed the facial features and noticed turmoil in the town, but something happened?"
The guard was stunned for a moment, then sneered:
"My ears are still very sharp, so it doesn't matter if I tell you. The thieves of the Four Holy Sect have been killed. Now that the alliance has ended, warriors from various factions have been ordered to go to various places to capture the bandits."
The Buyi Shenxiang murmured:
"It's coming... it's coming... it's coming..."
After a pause, his spirit was shaken:
"Then it's time to let me out, right? Haven't everyone been caught?"
The guard glanced at him and said calmly:
"The leader didn't give an order, so just stay alone."
Commoner look:
"When will the alliance leader give the order?"
Guard: "The alliance leader has many things to do every day, how do I know?"
After saying that, he turned around and walked away, leaving Buyi's expression in a daze, cursing, but no one paid attention to him.
…
When the sun set over the earth, Ji Ping'an led Yu Yu and Pei Qian to carry their bags, left Qixia Town on horseback, and headed in the direction they came from.
Or, they are also returning towards Yuhang City.
Traveling at night is extremely difficult for ordinary people, but it is an exception for practitioners. Yu Yu just raised his finger and touched the foreheads of everyone (horses) one by one, and then they all activated their "night vision ability".
It was a galloping ride, through wind and rain, without any accidents.
One day later, when the three finally arrived near "Qidun Mountain", the three horses were already quite tired.
Gray clouds also blew in the sky, blocking the sunshine.
"Where exactly are we going?"
Yu Yu was riding on her little white horse. The saint was wrapped in a cloak, and her face was particularly petite. She was still excited when she left the town, but now she is completely different:
"What kind of luck is this? I didn't see a single iron corpse."
Ji Ping'an tightened the reins of his horse and said calmly:
"No surprise. We only ran along the road and stopped when we encountered some villages and towns. The probability of encountering an iron corpse is naturally very small."
Pei Qian's lips were chapped and he hardly ate much along the way. He picked up the water bag and poured it into his mouth. When he found it was empty, he cried sadly:
"Gotta find a place to get some water."
Yu Yu curled up his lips and said with a smile:
"I remember there is a village at the foot of Qidun Mountain. I saw it from a distance when I came here. Why don't you go there yourself?"
Pei Qian was immediately frightened and muttered:
"I'm not thirsty anymore. I can bear it. I can still bear it."
Ji Pingan said:
"Village? Then it seems that our destination should be reached."
Yu Yu gave him a strange look:
"What did you see in your horoscope?"
Ji Ping'an shook his head and said:
“Not sure yet, so you’ll have to see it with your own eyes.”
With that said, he stopped talking nonsense and urged his horses to walk towards the foot of Qidun Mountain.
The two hurriedly followed, and the closer they got, the colder the atmosphere became, especially on rainy days when the air was humid and muggy.
When he raised his head, he could see that the entire Qidun Mountain was covered with layers of rain clouds, as dark as a curtain about to fall down.
"This place is a bit strange. Speaking of which, what does the iron corpse controlled by the Gu insect look like..."
Pei Qian sat on his horse and thought to himself.
Suddenly, the wind howled furiously, and there was a "squeaking" sound in the grass beside the road, as if a wild beast was galloping.
The ordinary horses under the three seats neighed in fear and stamped their hooves uneasily, as if they wanted to escape.
Ji Ping'an turned around and saw a "villager" with blue and black skin rushing out.
His hair was messy, his body was slightly bowed, his hands were dirty and muddy, and his nails were sharp.
He raised his head with a "click", his neck twisted abnormally, a pair of dark red eyes stared at the three of them, his knees sank, and he rushed towards Pei Qian with a "soar" sound.
"Mom!"
The Third Young Master was startled, and subconsciously drew his sword to defend himself, with a sad face:
Why is this thing staring at me? ?
Your mother is not here... Ji Ping'an was speechless. This little follower's performance was too poor.
He holds his right hand empty.
"Zi la la", the white electric arc crackled and flashed, condensed into a long whip, and hit the iron corpse with a "bang" sound. The flesh and blood body actually made a dull impact sound, and the whole body convulsed.
The power of Taibai Star was specially designed to suppress "yin objects" invisibly. The iron corpse screamed, its body was scorched black, and arcs covered its body.
Immediately, the trees behind him swayed with green starlight, and their branches extended, binding him up and throwing him to the ground.
Seeing this, Yu Yu was not willing to be outdone. He kneaded the seal with his white and tender hands and grasped the void.
"puff!"
The eyebrows of the dead villager exploded, and a translucent Gu worm was twisted and grasped by invisible hands. As if sensing strong uneasiness, it twisted its waist crazily.
"Eh, so ugly."
Yu Yu felt nauseated and was about to crush it.
But Ji Ping'an stopped him and threw out a porcelain bottle with a seal:
"Put it on."
Why are you collecting bugs... Yu Yu was disgusted, but he still threw the immature bug into the porcelain vase.
The whole process was extremely fast, and an iron corpse was eliminated almost as soon as they met each other.
"This thing looks scary, but it doesn't seem to be very powerful." Pei Qian gasped for air and was just about to get over his shock.
Young hero, let go of the horse's neck first before you speak... The horse is almost choking you. Ji Ping'an looked at the third young master who hugged the horse's neck tightly and was speechless.
Li Xiangjun was still full of expectations and asked him to train his youngest son.
I feel that while I am still young, plump and beautiful, it is more practical to create a small account.
"It's just the most ordinary iron corpse, the most nourishing Qi state." Ji Ping'an looked at the cowering horses and said:
"Let's walk there."
The three of them dismounted and walked along the path towards the mountain village. They encountered several iron corpses again on the way, and the two of them worked together to deal with them.
The petite saint with a delicate face frowned:
"There seems to be something wrong. Such a small village can actually raise so many iron corpses? I'm afraid all the people in the mountain village are dead. As far as I know, the iron corpses should go farther away after they lack hunting targets nearby. right."
Ji Ping'an didn't say anything. The three of them stepped into the village and saw that the whole mountain village was completely silent, without any sound.
There was some dirty blood remaining on the ground, and many mosquitoes and flies gathered there. Even the livestock and poultry of farmers had obvious signs of eating and sucking blood.
"Look over there!"
Yu Yu suddenly pointed and saw several torn and broken bodies lying on the bank of a stream in front of him.
An old man's skull rolled aside, his empty eyes fixed on the sky.
All the bodies had obviously been dead for many days, but on such a hot day, there was no obvious signs of decomposition.
"They should all have failed to be transformed by Gu insects." Ji Ping'an examined them for a moment: "Obviously unusual."
"Snapped!"
Suddenly, the stream suddenly exploded, and three wet bodies sprang out from the bottom of the river. All three of them were dressed as official officials, but their faces were bronzed and their expressions were dull at the moment.
As soon as they appeared, they rushed towards the three of them.
"careful!"
Yu Yuxiao frowned, and there was a yellow paper talisman between his fingers. He threw it at one of them, causing it to fly away with fire, but this iron corpse was obviously of a higher "level".
"Hey, Pei Qian, I leave the weak one who was blown up to you."
Yu Yu glanced at it, gave a faint order, and at the same time rushed towards the oncoming catcher.
ah? Third Young Master Pei was shocked and subconsciously drew his sword and stepped forward.
Ji Ping'an was stared at by the strongest iron catcher, and his eyes moved slightly:
"The bronze corpse is a Gu insect that has advanced to the nine realms."
At the same time as he spoke, he twisted his right hand and held it towards the ground.
"rise!"
Buzz... The earthy yellow stars rose up little by little, and the rocks beside the stream bulged up, quickly forming a thick stone hand, grabbing the iron catcher's galloping legs.
The momentum of "Iron Catcher" was blocked, and a standard magic weapon saber in his hand was slashed out with a "bang", setting off a powerful air wave, and white water columns exploded in the stream along the way.
Ji Ping'an looked indifferent, tiptoed, and floated backwards like a fallen leaf.
Give it a gentle push at the same time.
The flying water droplets suddenly froze in mid-air, and then he lightly snapped his fingers, and countless water droplets shot towards the iron catcher's head like bullets.
"Ding-ding-ding-ding-ding..."
In the blink of an eye, the clothes on the Iron Captor's chest were torn to pieces, revealing his bronze chest. However, the "bullet" that could penetrate flesh and blood only left a few white marks on it and disappeared in the blink of an eye.
The "Iron Catcher" was furious, his eyes lit up red on his indifferent face, and the big stone hand between his legs exploded. He held the knife again, like a humanoid cavalry, and charged towards Ji Ping'an.
Ji Ping'an frowned slightly, waved his hand, and a high earth wall rose from the ground, and puppets rose up one after another, fighting with them.
"boom!"
At the same time, the saint next to her had finished the battle. The girl stood in the air with her aura fully activated. She turned her head and caught a glimpse of the scene here and smiled:
"Ji Ping'an, can you do it?"
This sentence was said by Ji Ping'an when he last sniped and killed the Sanren.
The saint's original words were returned, which shows how petty and vengeful she is...
"Scout!" Yu Yu took advantage and flicked his sleeves.
Whoosh whoosh!
Small command flags flew out one after another and stuck around the "Iron Catcher". She made hand gestures and chanted a spell in a low voice. Based on the command flags, a formation slowly took shape.
The iron catcher, "internal and external troubles", seemed to be aware of the hidden crisis, suddenly stretched his neck, raised his voice to the sky, and spewed out a ball of turbid air from his mouth.
His right arm holding the knife suddenly swelled, and his clothes exploded.
It showed a charred black body, as if it had been baptized by thunder. Between the cracks in the charred and hard skin, there was a strange "arm" with blood slowly flowing like scarlet magma.
That wasn't the catcher's hand, but a strange arm attached to his arm.
Ji Ping'an's pupils shrank suddenly, and he noticed a distant and familiar aura.
"It's really you!" He sighed softly.
Bang bang bang... Iron Catcher's strength suddenly increased, he threw away his sword, smashed the Zhenxing puppet with a few punches, and then pulled out a formation flag with his backhand.
Breaking out of the formation, the next second, he suddenly changed his path, pulled out an afterimage, arrived in front of Yu Yu, and punched out!
"This piece of shit still has thoughts?!"
Yu Yu was shocked. She had already had the preconceived impression that Iron Corpse lacked intelligence, so she was a little careless and didn't pay attention to the other party's bullying.
Feeling the evil and filthy smell on that arm, the strong aura that seduced her into depravity.
Yu Yu was stunned, and all his emotions and desires were exploded in his body. His brain was filled with all kinds of yellow waste. His face was as red as blood, his legs were weak, and he rubbed subconsciously, and his eyes were empty for a moment.
This moment is fatal enough!
"ah--"
Just when she regained her senses and wanted to fight back, she realized that it was already too late, but the fist stopped three inches outside the tip of her nose.
A thin layer of fragrant sweat broke out on Yu Yu's forehead as he saw the "Iron Catcher" being tightly bound by ropes condensed by golden arcs.
The rope was stretched straight, and the other end was held in Ji Ping'an's hand:
"Break armor!"
"Oh!" Yu Yu suddenly came to his senses, and the sword cord on his right wrist suddenly unfolded, and the scarlet sword pieces jingled together into a soft sword, and he slashed hard.
Clusters of sparks instantly erupted from the "Iron Catcher's" chest, his bronzed skin shattered, his breath shrank little by little, and the magma-like red on his arm gradually dimmed.
at the same time.
Ji Ping'an flicked his fingers with his free hand, and a talisman he took out from his space bag flew into the wind, circled around, and accurately "stuck" on the iron catcher's forehead.
seal!
In an instant, Tie Baotou's whole body collapsed, like a robot that lost power, his red pupils went out, and with a "pop", he lay straight on the ground.
