The cloud-piercing cone was a hundred feet above the ground, flying at a constant speed through the thick clouds. Xue Tong used the Golden Eye Technique to observe, and suddenly saw someone running in the mountains. He looked closely and saw that the person was wearing Yunxiao Sect clothes.
"Hong Tianyou!"
Cloud Piercer dived to catch up.
Hong Tianyou, with disheveled hair and dirt on his face, was overjoyed to see Xue Tong, "Junior brother Xue, it's you. I finally meet my fellow disciple."
"The same goes for me. I've been living alone since I came here. How are you, senior brother?" Xue Tong was also very excited.
"I have been hiding for more than half a year. Apart from practicing the exercises, I have been frightened every day. It was windy these days and I heard the terrifying roar of the demon leopard. I couldn't stay any longer, so I ran out." Hong Tianyou said with lingering fear.
The two of them found a shelter from the wind and described the changes in the secret realm in detail. Hong Tianyou asked Xue Tong about his plan.
"Rendezvous with the brigade as soon as possible, but there may not be any good things at the end of the storm. Let's take it one step at a time." Xue Tong muttered.
"Well, I remember the last time we met, my junior martial brother was in the middle stage of martial arts, and now he has achieved great success. It's so fast that Brother Yu can't even think about it." Hong Tianyou sighed.
"Where is it? I've achieved a small success in body refining. I'm lucky enough to break through. Brother Hong, let's go!" Xue Tong didn't want to talk about upgrading in depth.
He was traveling with Hong Tianyou and could no longer ride the flying cone, so he walked for a day instead.
While walking, Lu Yangzi's Jade Sect's jade medal suddenly sounded, "Uncle Lu, are you here? Disciple Gao Hong, I look forward to your return."
"The people from the Blood Sword Sect are looking for Lu Yangzi in a hurry! The message came from the north and cannot be more than fifty miles away."
…
Gao Hong had been ordered to search for Lu Yangzi for two days, and was planning to turn back soon. He was overjoyed when he received a reply from Lu Yangzi, telling him to wait a moment.
Not long after, someone came flying from the south. Gao Hong recognized the Yunxiao Sect's clothes and ran away.
Xue Tong's cloud-piercing cone activated and blocked Gao Hong's path.
"Martial disciple Dacheng?" Gao Hong's tense mood suddenly relaxed, and his attention changed to Xue Tong's put away flying magic weapon.
The Blood Sword Sect kills anyone on sight, but the Yunxiao Sect does not act recklessly, not to mention that Xue Tong is lower than himself.
"What's your name? Where's Uncle Lu?" Gao Hong thought that Xue Tong happened to be passing by.
"Uncle Lu can't come. What's the matter with you? You seem to be in a hurry." Xue Tong said calmly.
"I'm asking you where Uncle Lu is and why he can't come!" Gao Hong was very impatient and his desire to take action became even stronger.
"Are you talking about him?" Xue Tong waved Lu Yangzi's jade sign.
Gao Hong's expression suddenly changed, "Where did you pick up the jade plaque?"
He glanced at the direction Xue Chuan came from and saw that Hong Tianyou had arrived in a leisurely manner.
"If you have a weak helper, I'll kill him just like you!"
Thinking of this, Gao Hong drew out the Fengwei knife. The back of the knife was more than two inches thick and had three bright red gold copper rings hanging through it.
"I was the one who killed Lu Yangzi. If you tell him honestly why you are looking for him, maybe your life will be spared." Xue Tong held the goose-winged turtle in his hand and said calmly.
"Fart!" Gao Hong faced the knife with a bright red light.
Xue Tong raised his sword and struck hard.
Gao Hong's arm went numb, the tiger's mouth split open, the phoenix tail knife flew straight out, and the copper ring on the back of the knife kept clanging.
Gao Hong had an expression of complete disbelief, and just as he was about to crush the life-saving talisman, his shoulder blade was in severe pain, and he flew out like a broken leaf.
Xue Tong smashed Gao Hong's shoulder bone with a vicious punch, and with a few consecutive flicks of his fingers, Gao Hong's meridians and acupuncture points were sealed with a pop of energy, causing him to completely lose his ability to resist.
"Life or death is still in your own hands. Answering honestly is the only way to survive." Xue Tong said coldly.
"Huh!" Gao Hong has followed Yu Kui for many years. He is ruthless and never blinks an eye at killing people. He doesn't believe that Xue Tong will spare his life in this situation.
Hong Tianyou, who was watching the battle on the sidelines, was dumbfounded. Xue Tonggang's Qi was released, showing that body refining was no small matter. He had heard that Xue Tong was practicing the Nightmare Bone True Demon Art. It seemed that the rumors were true.
"Is the Blood Sword Sect preparing to besiege this sect? "How many people have you gathered? Where are the people from the Yunxiao Sect?" Xue Tong asked repeatedly.
"Don't try to trick me, just do it quickly!" Gao Hong shouted.
"Junior brother Xue, do you want to use some means, don't worry if he doesn't speak up!" Hong Tianyou suggested torture.
It's not that Xue Tong didn't have methods of torture and torture, but he just didn't want to because it didn't suit his style.
"You can't blame me even if you risk your life!" Xue Tong struck Gao Hong to death with a lightning strike.
Xue Tong already knew something about it from his words and expression. If Gao Hong was really happy to answer, it would be embarrassing. Should he really let him go? It would be better to just kill him instead of leaving this villain with endless troubles.
Xue Tong checked the Gao Hong Jade Card, and sure enough, it mentioned the strangulation of the Yunxiao Sect. He opened the storage bag and gave half of the spirit stones to Hong Tianyou. He said with concern: "The Blood Sword Sect is eyeing Hall Master Lei Xiao. Team, we are urgently contacting Lu Yangzi to help break the Xiguang Array if necessary."
"Well, you have to walk faster." Xue Tong thrust four Yun Control Talisman into Hong Tianyou's hand.
"Father of the sect, follow me." Xue Tong released the cloud-piercing cone from his sleeve, which suddenly grew in size and went through the clouds.
Hong Tianyou was delighted to receive more than ten thousand spiritual stones, and he obeyed Xue Tong's advice and immediately crushed the talisman.
After flying two hundred miles straight, the trees at the foot gradually became thinner. Xue Tong's golden eyes looked far into the distance. The barren hills ahead were undulating, and several giant flat-top rock mountains were vaguely visible.
"Baitai Mountain!"
…
Lei Xiao arrived in the Baitai Mountain area a few days ago. There was no wind here and there were few monster activities. It was an excellent place to take a break. He chose a rocky mountain and built a simple camp. Not long after, the blood sword sect was also not far away. Set up camp on the top of the mountain.
Lei Xiao didn't know about Blood Sword Sect's massacre plan, so he just thought they happened to be sheltered from the wind and crowded together. He told his men to be careful and not to cause trouble.
"Hall Master Lei, the Blood Sword Sect has bad intentions. I'm worried that they will attack the camp." Ye Xingjian, the deputy head of the Deacon Hall, said worriedly.
Lei Xiao had followed his advice a month ago and hurriedly avoided Du Qingyun.
"Brother Ye Xian is overly concerned. Could it be that the Blood Sword Sect kills people in broad daylight?" Lei Xiao said disapprovingly.
Ye Xingjian had the painful experience of Hongzhou and continued to remind: "The Blood Sword Sect is despicable and cold-blooded. They have committed evil acts that cannot be tolerated by nature in Hongzhou. The master must not be careless."
"They really dare to mess around, Yunxiao Sect is not easy to mess with!" Lei Xiao glanced at the seven disciples in the camp and said loudly.
Blood Sword Sect camp.
"Senior Brother Luo, the number of Yunxiao Sect is less than 30% of ours. This opportunity cannot be missed. Let's find an excuse to break the formation." Du Qingyun was very anxious and hoped to take action immediately.
"Junior Brother Du, don't worry, it's not too late to wait until Lu Yangzi takes action." Luo Guantong objected.
"People from other sects are coming one after another, will there be another problem?" Du Qingyun indicated that Dayuemen and Qisha Alliance were also forming a stronghold.
"There is no need to worry, Protector Du. The Seven Evils Alliance is on good terms with our sect, and Dayue and Yunxiao are very different in appearance. More people will only be beneficial to us." Yu Kui interjected.
…
"Junior brother Tang is here!" Ye Xingjian's sharp eyes were the first to see Tang Yiming.
"Haha! It seems that Baitai Mountain is going to become the gathering place for the four major Xuanmen." Lei Xiao laughed and was in a good mood.
Tang Yiming's gloomy thin face finally showed a smile, and he exchanged greetings. Lu Huanzhi and Huang Qing sat down at the corner, muttering to each other, while the third person, Yu Jiansheng, chatted happily with Liao Xingye...
"Xue Tong!"
Ye Xingjian himself couldn't explain why he had a strange feeling that Xue Tong, who left a mystery in Hongzhou, would make the situation more interesting and not so bad.
"Hello, Hall Master Lei, Deputy Hall Master Ye, Uncle Tang!" Xue Tong said hello and nodded to Ma Shaochong.
The moment he entered the battle, many people were shocked and did not dare or were unwilling to believe that he had achieved great success as a martial artist. Xue Tong's promotion speed was too fast, less than two years, which usually takes eight to twenty years. Even a famous person like Zhu Qingling took five and a half years.
"I met Senior Brother Hong Tianyou by chance and brought him back to the camp safely." Xue Tong introduced.
Lei Xiao's eyes lit up, "Very good, very good. God bless you, please tell me what happened last time."
Hong Tianyou retracted his glare at Huang Qing and talked about the past more than a year...
People from various sects continued to arrive. The Blood Sword Sect Houtian warriors had the majority of them. All of them except Lu Yangzi were present. Dayue Sect, including the missing and recovered disciples, had a total of thirty-seven, ranking first.
Each sect lit up the light stones on the top of the mountain, and the atmosphere in the Yunxiao Sect camp was tense. Ye Xingjian told him to pay close attention to the movements of the Blood Sword Sect and be ready to maintain the Xiguang Array at any time.
And between the two mountains of Shameng and Jianzong, figures shuttled back and forth, seeming to be discussing something. Xue Tong sat in the camp, just practicing the exercises, as if everything had nothing to do with him.
…
The next morning.
Three uninvited guests came to visit, Dong Chonghao, deputy leader of the Seven Evils Alliance, Dou Jing, deputy bishop of Dayuemen, and Luo Guantong of the Blood Sword Sect.
The visitor has a high status, and Lei Xiao rushes out to greet him.
"Master Lei, everything is boring in Baitai Mountain. Instead of waiting for the wind to stop, why not find something to do? Jiayuan holds Kuixing competitions from time to time, where everyone gathers together to discuss heroes with martial arts. Now that all four Xuanmen are here, we will hold a small Kuixing competition. What will happen?" Dou Jing said.
"Oh" Lei Xiao was greatly surprised. The Kuixing Competition had not been held for many years, so how could he suddenly mention this matter.
"Disciples compete and the prizes are made from local materials. Each sect will produce a treasure. Twelve people will compete and the top four will win." Dong Chonghao said.
"Yes, the three sects have reached an agreement. I hope Yunxiao Sect will not refuse." Luo Guantong glanced at the Xiguang Formation and said as he looked.
"Fellow Taoists, please allow our sect to consider it." Ye Xingjian stepped out of the formation and answered.
"What kind of prize do you need?"
"It's probably a natural elixir, or an intermediate high-quality magic weapon."
"Well, okay, I'll give you a reply after we discuss the plan." Lei Xiao said.
The three of them said goodbye. Luo Guantong chuckled before leaving, "Master Lei is anxious to set up the magic circle, is he afraid of being eaten by monsters? With so many people from the four sects here, when did Brother Lei become timid, greedy for life and afraid of death? Yes."
Lei Xiao's face turned red and he was speechless.
Xue Tong couldn't help but frown slightly when he heard the conversation.
"How are you guys? Does anyone have the natural elixir?" Lei Xiao asked with a bad look on his face as he paced back and forth in the formation.
"I propose not to participate. In normal times, it would be nice to hold the Kuixing Meeting, but it would be too abrupt in the secret realm and not a good thing!" Ye Xingjian said.
"You are as timid as Wei Geng!" Lei Xiao scolded. He was in a very bad mood and regretted that he had followed Ye Xingjian's advice, stopped traveling north, and failed to collect the natural elixir material in the Dayang Lake area. Now he was in the embarrassing predicament of having nothing to offer.
"Junior brother Tang, what do you think?" Ye Xingjian asked instead.
"Do we have any prizes? Is there anyone who can compete?" Tang Yiming asked lukewarmly without raising his eyelids.
