Faxuan Temple is about two days' journey from Longshan City.
But after traveling day and night and sparing no effort, Lu Ming arrived at the gate of Longshan City in just one day and one night.
As you walk through the city, you will see soldiers in uniform everywhere you look.
His five senses were heightened, and Lu Ming soon heard the general idea.
Yesterday, when Faxuan Temple was destroyed, Longshan Sword Sect was also robbed.
The fourth-level peak warrior of the Liang Kingdom, the Demon Buddha went up the mountain.
The entire Longshan Sword Sect was slaughtered, leaving no chickens or dogs behind!
…
In front of an inconspicuous small courtyard, Lu Ming got out of the car and knocked on the door.
Not long after, the courtyard door opened, and a tall man with an inch head poked his head out of the door.
When their eyes met, Ying Heng saw that the eyes of the man in front of him were bloodshot, as if he hadn't slept all night, his facial expression was stiff, and there were scattered black blood spots on his body.
That is the blood of demons.
I was on my way last night and met a ghost on the road.
That evildoer was in bad luck.
Squint your eyes slightly and speak horizontally.
"who are you?"
Then Lu Ming said hoarsely: "Xuanzhen asked me to come. There is also Xuanzhen's junior brother, Xuanyi, in the car."
The short-haired man was stunned for a moment, then his expression immediately became serious.
"come on in."
…
Walking into the small courtyard with Xuanyi, Lu Ming found that there was only one person in the small courtyard, the man with an inch hair.
The man carefully closed the door, disposed of the carriage, returned to the courtyard, looked at Lu Ming and Xuan Yi, and immediately clasped his hands together in a Buddhist ceremony.
His somewhat bold temperament instantly changed into dignified and serious.
"Amitabha, the poor monk Ying Heng, a disciple of the Vajra Academy of Kasyapa Monastery, has met the benefactor and junior brother Xuanyi."
Lu Ming also put his hands together in a Buddhist salute: "In Wenyu, a lay disciple of Faxuan Temple, I met Master Ying Heng."
Kasyapa Temple, one of the four sects of Taoism and Buddhism.
However, the strength of Kasyapa Temple is much stronger than that of Faxuan Temple - Kasyapa Temple is the abbot of Kong Kong, ranks sixth on the Zhou Kingdom Martial Arts Ranking, and is a third-grade golden body expert who has corrected the eight classics.
When something happened to Faxuan Temple, Xuanzhen immediately sent Xuanyi here. This is easy to understand.
The Baji Sect and the four Taoist and Buddhist sects have always been linked together, and the relationship between the two Buddhist sects, Kaysapa Temple and Faxuan Temple, is much better than imagined.
After announcing each other's names, the atmosphere became a little stiff for a while.
Until Lu Ming took a deep breath and turned to look at Xuan Yi.
"You go and rest for a while first. I want to talk to Master Ying Heng about something."
Xuan Yi looked at Lu Ming with red eyes, then at Ying Heng. After a moment, he nodded obediently and walked into the house alone.
It wasn't until he saw Xuan Yi enter the room that Lu Ming turned to look at Ying Heng and lowered his voice.
"Yesterday, Faxuan Temple..."
Five words are enough.
Ying Heng slowly closed his eyes, his facial muscles were slightly distorted, and soon, he let out a long sigh.
"Faxuan Temple and Longshan Sword Sect were destroyed..."
"Did anyone escape?"
"have no idea."
"Who did it?"
"Bai Xiaotian, Qingjiao, Giant Whale Gang."
"Who is Bai Xiaotian?"
"A warrior from the Liang Kingdom is also a vicious dog invited by the prince."
…
Lu Ming's hand unconsciously tightened the hilt of the sword.
After a long time, he took a deep breath and asked a stupid question.
"Why?"
After asking this question, Lu Ming himself was speechless...
Why?
In this world, do you need a reason to destroy your whole family?
But there really is a reason for this.
And there are still two.
"The Crown Prince officially declared war on King Lin and the four Taoist and Buddhist sects of the Baji Sect. In this battle, he released Bai Xiaotian and emptied Tonglin Province of all the forces of King Lin and the Baji Sect."
Lu Ming nodded in a daze.
"Reasonable."
The battle for Dabao is progressing but not retreating! The ambitions of the Crown Prince and Prince Lin are known to everyone in the Zhou Kingdom.
Nowadays, the dragon energy is declining and evil spirits are everywhere. Although I don't know why the prince doesn't take the lead in targeting the old emperor, it is obviously reasonable to attack the power of his competitors.
Ying Heng continued: "It is said that Bai Xiaotian is already half-step to the third level. He tried the sword of Zhou Kingdom with the intention of breaking through the third level."
This is more reasonable.
It was reasonable, leaving Lu Ming speechless.
Ying Heng's words continued.
"The time is still short and the news has not spread yet, but when Bai Xiaotian used his sword that day, he only killed all the fourth-grade people in Faxuan Temple. It seems that he did not take action against those with weak strength."
That day, there were many people on the mountain.
Most of them are just hangers-on.
As soon as the incident happened, these people ran around in chaos. With the manpower of the Qingjiao and the Giant Whale Gang at that time, it was estimated that they would not be able to stop them all.
No need to stop.
Because of this matter, the prince was not playing a conspiracy, so there was no need to keep it secret.
"Therefore, this news is destined to be hidden. In a few days, it is estimated that no one in the entire Zhou Kingdom knows about it."
Speaking of which, Ying Heng didn't want to say anything more...
He just chanted sutras silently, and soon, Lu Ming's voice sounded again.
"My junior brother Xuanyi may have to trouble Master Ying Heng to take care of him."
Ying Heng was stunned for a moment, then saw Lu Ming turn around and walk towards the carriage.
Ying Heng opened his mouth, as if he wanted to say something, but as his thoughts flickered, he could only spit out a mouthful of Amitabha.
"Donor Wenyu, be careful in everything you do. Bai Xiaotian is so powerful that it's unbelievable."
Lu Ming suddenly grinned: "Master Ying Heng, where are you thinking? I'm not going to seek revenge on Bai Xiaotian... I can still tell how much I weigh."
As he spoke, he got on his horse.
After reining in his horse and looking back, Lu Ming glanced at Ying Heng, and then faintly saw Xuan Yi scratching the cracks of the window in the room, with tears on his face.
He whispered to Ying Heng: "Go back and take a look. No matter what, you have to go back to Faxuan Temple to take a look..."
Even though Lu Ming knew it, it didn't make much sense.
But if he didn't go back and take a look, he would feel uneasy and angry.
Looking at Xuan Yi again, Lu Ming smiled softly and spoke loudly.
"As for the Smiling Proud Jianghu, Xuan Yi, until next time we meet, we will finish the rest of the story!"
…
The horses' hooves roared out of the small courtyard and then galloped all the way to the city gate.
After leaving the city, Lu Ming didn't care about his horse power. He just galloped towards Faxuan Temple with his whip raised!
Xuanzhen's face and even Duanmuqing's face suddenly appeared in Lu Ming's mind.
This made Lu Ming move a little faster.
Along with it, there was also the blood in Lu Ming's body.
The three-phase demon-turning skill began to operate unconsciously.
The vague evil spirit in the air began to boil, began to roar, and began to be contained!
A large amount of blood energy was transformed into life. In just half a day, Lu Ming's body was filled with blood energy, and the seventh orifice suddenly opened!
Lu Ming, on the other hand, seemed unaware and just reined in his horse to stop.
Ahead, the city wall of Foshan Town is already visible in the distance.
At this moment, there were faint shouts of killing and fighting, and the officers and soldiers in the town didn't know where they died... maybe they were staying behind closed doors, and they didn't care to pay attention to this nonsense.
Because essentially, this matter is a "royal internal fight" between the prince and King Lin.
After reading this, Lu Ming suddenly pursed his lips.
After dismounting and slapping the horse's butt, the exhausted horse neighed and staggered away into the distance.
Gently stroking the hilt of the sword, Lu Ming twisted his neck.
Bits of blood splashed out from his eyes.
…
In Foshan Town, there is a low shanty town near the city wall.
In the past, this place was chaotic, dirty and crowded, but today it is completely silent.
Maybe the poor people living here also know that it is best not to leave their homes at this time...
The sound of chaotic footsteps suddenly sounded in the street.
Looking from a distance, he saw a group of dozens of people coming from a distance.
They were wearing the costumes of either the Giant Whale Gang or the Youth Sect. Each of them was carrying a weapon, and a few of them had blood stains on their bodies.
The leader, Sha Guogui, the elder of the Qing Sect, spoke loudly.
"It's right here! Scatter and look for me!"
As soon as the voice fell, dozens of young men rushed into the house.
For a while, the sounds of rummaging around, being beaten and scolded, and begging for mercy could be heard all the time.
There is no need to talk about the tricks of the Qing Jiao, the Nine Paths of Demons, and its disciples.
The Giant Whale Gang is the Thirteenth Gang. Although it also belongs to a sect, it does have some gangster habits.
At this time, Faxuan Temple was destroyed. On that day, some survivors ran to the nearest Foshan town. Even if it was not for the sake of extermination, but for the bounty on their heads, these people, either underworld or evil, had no reason to miss it.
not to mention……
Sha Guoguo gently licked the corner of his mouth.
He knew that there was a big fish that slipped through the net nearby.
…
Jin Yin's body kept shaking.
This may be caused by the injuries on her body - she was cut so hard on her back that the bones were visible.
It could also be the approaching death horn.
In the surrounding houses, the sounds of footsteps and begging for mercy could be heard endlessly, mixed with the cries of the poor and the evil words of the members of the Green Sect of the Giant Whale Gang.
They are not good people.
And she is a woman, a beautiful woman with status.
The approaching footsteps were like the reminder of death, causing Jin Yin's body to tremble continuously. The arrogance of the past was no longer there, and the only thing left was the panic of facing bad luck...
However, bad luck never depends on human will.
When the door was kicked open and the halo of the setting sun shone on her face, Jin Yin stood up stiffly and drew her knife, hearing a surprise call in her ears.
Surprise call from the enemy!
"Elder Sha! Here, the woman is here!"
A long roar suddenly started.
"Where are you little bitches!? Let me enjoy it first, everyone has a share, they all have a share!"
Jin Yin's eyes were full of despair.
…
Sha Guogui suddenly stopped.
The expected impassioned response from the heroes did not happen, and only faint screams sounded in response to him.
The screams came from outside the street, and in just a few moments, they had spread to this street.
A figure flew backwards and hit the ground hard, leaving a long trail of blood that slid all the way to the soles of Sha Zhigui's feet.
Looking down at the man's distorted face, Sha Guoguo narrowed his eyes hard.
He knew this person, a certain leader of the Giant Whale Gang, whose cultivation level was not weak at the sixth level.
Looking up again, he saw a man holding a long sword, with his back to the sun. He shook away the blood stains on the long sword and looked up at himself.
When their eyes met, Sha Guogui saw the dense bloodshot eyes in that man's eyes.
"I want to ask you a few questions."
The young swordsman in white across from him spoke softly, and Sha Guoguo raised his eyebrows, but all he could see was a flash of lightning passing in front of him!
Sha Guogui, who had a fifth-grade false orifice cultivation, could not react in time. Before the thunder light dissipated, Sha Baogui felt his hands go numb, and his two arms fell vertically to the ground.
He couldn't help but scream, and heard another click.
Lu Ming gave Sha Baogui's left calf a quick kick.
Three of his limbs were crippled, and the long sword was pointed at the center of his eyebrows.
Sha Guoguo half-knelt on the ground, and his tone immediately softened: "Any questions will be answered!"
"Who is your leader and the strongest person in Foshan Town? Now, who is your leader and the strongest person in Faxuan Temple Mountain?"
"It's the Eight Great Human Demons of our Qing Sect!" Sha Guobao gave the answer immediately.
But when the sword light surged, his chest hurt, and Erliang's flesh was sliced off by Lu Ming's quick sword.
"Repeat your answer just now."
"It's the Eight Great Human Demons! It's the Eight Great Human Demons!"
The sword light flashed again.
"Repeat it again!"
"It's the Eight Great Human Demons!! You lunatic, please give me a good time!!"
The sword light flashed again.
"continue……"
…
Blood splattered, and more than a dozen neat strips of meat were placed next to Sha Guigui.
His eyes were blinded by the pain, and his spirit was almost broken.
In this state, it is almost impossible to lie.
"It's the Eight Great Human Demons... It's the Eight Great Human Demons..."
He muttered mechanically, and Lu Ming nodded: "It's the Eight Great Human Demons. You're right."
The sword flashed and the sword pierced his heart.
He turned around and looked behind him again, and saw the figure of a woman staggering behind him.
Seeing Lu Ming, Jin Yin was slightly startled, then lowered her head and looked at Sha Baogui, who was wearing Qingjiao clothes on the ground.
Soon, Jin Yin pursed her lips and said to Lu Ming.
"I am the eighteen-golden female guard of Prince Lin's palace. Please save me, young hero..."
"Eighteen Golden Hairpin Female Guards?"
Lu Ming tilted his head and asked softly, and Jin Yin nodded fiercely: "Yes, I..."
He wanted to say something else, but Lu Ming simply interrupted: "Yesterday, when the incident happened, were you on the mountain?"
Jin Yin didn't understand what Lu Ming meant by asking this question, so she just nodded again.
"Let me ask you about two people."
"you say."
"Faxuan Temple, Xuanzhen. There is also Duanmu Qing, who is also the Jinchai female guard."
After finishing speaking, facing Jin Yin's puzzled eyes, Lu Ming said softly: "If you live, I want to see people, if you die, I want to see the body."
Jin Yin's eyes wandered, and she quickly gritted her teeth and seemed to have made a decision.
"This is not a good place to talk. Young hero, please come with me."
…
On the hidden mountain road leading to Faxuan Temple in Foshan Town, Lu Ming walked quickly, with Jin Yin following closely behind.
At this moment, the injury on Jin Yin's back has been simply treated.
She followed Lu Ming, gritting her teeth and saying nothing, while Lu Ming led the way, but her mind was filled with Jin Yin's words and the information she had forced to confess.
Yesterday, Bai Xiaotian slaughtered Faxuan Temple.
This person did have the reserve of a warrior, although it was not much, but he did not take action against those with weak strength.
This gave Jin Yin and others the opportunity to escape.
However, Bai Xiaotian is reserved, while Cang Duhai, the fifty-sixth person on the Earth Ranking, is not reserved at all.
Under his leadership, the fate of the remaining people who are not strong in the fourth level can be imagined.
Escape was the only option for everyone present at the time.
With people fleeing in all directions, the Qingjiao and the Giant Whale Gang couldn't stop everyone, and they didn't need to stop everyone.
If you run some small fish and shrimps, it won't be a big problem.
And this actually gave Lu Ming an opportunity.
A chance to collect the body...
Any person with normal intelligence would reject the idea of dying in vain, and Lu Ming was no exception.
So after he came back, the first thing he asked about was who was the strongest person currently staying on the Faxuan Temple Mountain - this point was given by both Nasha Guigui and Jin Yin.
The eight major humans and demons of the Qing Sect are all in the fifth-grade realm.
It’s not that the Qing Sect doesn’t have other fourth-grade members besides Cang Du Haihai, but after yesterday’s annihilation, Bai Xiaotian immediately fled to another place. The Qing Sect and the Giant Whale Gang, with the momentum of victory, immediately gathered people to go to the Dajiang Gang - which is also in Tonglin Province. The only one that belongs to King Lin and is still alive.
And the eight human demons are not stationed here for the purpose of eradicating the roots.
The purpose is just to search for the resources of Faxuan Temple.
Therefore, the power residing here is not very strong.
As for Xuanzhen and Duanmuqing...
Thinking of this, Lu Ming's eyes darkened.
…
Faxuan Temple.
In a dry well in the back mountain.
A pair of hands grabbed the edge of the well and slowly climbed out of the well.
As soon as he stuck his head out, the surging cold air made Lu Ming couldn't help but shiver.
This is the remaining celestial power of Bai Xiaotian.
The four qualities cultivate artistic conception and can induce celestial phenomena.
For those who are weak in the fourth level, the celestial phenomena are like illusions, fleeting and gone.
The strong can change the world with the power of celestial phenomena!
It is said that the battlefield of a top-grade warrior can permanently change the celestial phenomena of a city - just like the huge sword mark in Luanfeng Stronghold.
And this Bai Xiaotian's strength is indeed terrifying.
Even though a day and a half had passed, the temperature in Faxuan Temple was still strange, and the influence of the celestial phenomena had not subsided.
However, it had little impact on Lu Ming, who was in the fifth level.
As the blood energy circulates, the chill is dissipated.
Looking at the collapsed buildings and temples around him, Lu Ming took a deep breath, waited for Jin Yin to climb out of the well, then opened his legs and walked towards a certain mountain road.
…
At this moment, in Faxuan Temple, corpses are everywhere, thousands of miles of ice cover, and jackals are looming, but not many.
One day may be enough for the Qingjiao and the Giant Whale Gang to pack up most of the loot.
Move forward cautiously and cautiously.
Maybe it was due to the cold in the mountains, or maybe it was because Lu Ming came back so quickly. All the traces along the way were relatively well preserved.
There were monks and weapons on hand, and they were fighting to the death, but their clothes were messy and seemed to have been rummaged through.
A martial artist was killed on his knees. He seemed to beg for mercy before his death, but the enemy was ruthless.
There was a vague figure passing by in the distance. Lu Ming saw him, and he also saw Lu Ming. Their eyes met, but they both kept walking.
Maybe because it was dark, the man didn't notice Lu Ming's clothes and appearance, and just regarded Lu Ming as a picker of the same camp.
——No one could have imagined that someone who was not a demon would come to Faxuan Temple at this time.
And the most conspicuous and eye-catching thing is the sword mark that divides the mountain!
That day, Bai Xiaotian cut Faxuan Temple into two with his sword, like cutting a pastry. The sword mark was ten meters deep. The sword's intention was freezing and cold. The sword mark was like an iceberg crack, with cold air constantly coming out.
Compared with the sword in Luanfeng Stronghold, this sword was a lot less meaningful, but even so, looking directly at the sword mark, Lu Ming was still shocked, and his body was chilling and his heart was chilling.
I don't want to take another look at this sword mark.
Lu Ming continued to move forward.
This time, Jin Yin led the way.
On a small road near the Main Hall, Lu Ming slowly stopped.
He saw Xuan Zhen’s body.
