"Xiaoyu didn't come back last night? What happened?"
Jiang Ming's eyes narrowed slightly. Although Lu Xiaoyu was rebellious and mischievous, he never stayed out at night.
Lu Qingfeng said quickly: "You also know that after Xiaoyu sensed the blood energy, she often went to the mountains outside the city to practice with her friends. The forest she went to was on the outskirts of the mountain range. They were ordinary wild beasts and could not be hurt at all. She is a person who senses blood, so I don’t control her so strictly..."
"But Xiaoyu also knows how to behave. He never goes deep into the mountains and forests. He will definitely return home on time every night... Who knows he didn't come back last night!" There was a trace of sadness on Lu Qingfeng's eyebrows: "And those other people didn't come back either. !」
"Did you get lost in the mountains?" Lu Qingfeng muttered to himself.
"Probably not!" Jiang Ming didn't want to think about the worst, but he couldn't let Lu Qingfeng blindly comfort himself: "Lu Xiaoyu is not old, but he probably has more experience in the mountains and forests than you, Old Lu. If nothing unexpected happens, You will never get lost in the mountains and forests.”
"Leave this matter to me, Lao Lu, you don't need to worry about it anymore!" Jiang Ming said in a deep voice. Although he didn't know where Lu Xiaoyu was, Jiang Ming had a hunch in his heart that he was most likely in trouble.
"You keep in touch with the families of her friends. If there is any news, crush this jade talisman in time."
Jiang Ming handed Lu Qingfeng a white jade talisman. This is a type of communication talisman. Although it cannot transmit precise information, it can be used by mortals. Jiang Ming can sense it as long as it is crushed.
"Yan, little brother Yan...are you really an immortal master?"
Lu Qingfeng looked at the shimmering jade talisman and stammered a little. Although he had various guesses about Jiang Ming, an outsider, and whether he was one of those masters who flew into the sky and escaped from the earth, at this time I was still a little shocked when I got the confirmation.
"I will definitely bring Xiaoyu back!" Jiang Ming patted Lao Lu on the shoulder and quickly turned around and left.
Qingshui City, Black Horse Gang.
This is the leading force in Qingshui City. There is a first-class warrior in the gang who is one of the strongest in the city.
But today, in the deepest part of the Black Horse Gang's base camp, in a courtyard, the leader of the Black Horse Gang, who was well-known in Qingshui City, was standing in front of someone respectfully.
"You said you met strangers in the mountains these days?" Jiang Ming was sitting on a bamboo chair, peeling an orange from a fruit plate. When he heard the other person's words, he stopped and looked up. The leader of the Dark Horse Gang.
In Qingshui City for more than a year, although Jiang Ming did not deliberately show off his strength, he encountered several hunters from the Black Horse Gang in the mountains outside the city. On one occasion, he killed a man who was in the middle stage of Qi training with a sword energy. The monster saved the life of the leader of the Black Horse Gang, and also let the other party know his identity as an immortal cultivator.
After that, the Black Horse Gang also showed their courtesy intentionally or unintentionally, and helped Jiang Ming collect a lot of martial arts techniques in Qingshui City, which saved Jiang Ming a lot of effort, but there was nothing gained...
The leader of the Black Horse Gang said quickly: "Qingshui City is extremely remote, and there are very few outsiders hunting in the nearby mountains... But half a month ago, one of our hunting teams encountered a group of strangers, and they captured He hired the three of us as guides in the mountains, and we haven’t come back yet.”….
"Your hunting team should all be composed of warriors, right? The people who captured them...were very strong?" Jiang Ming's eyes moved slightly.
"According to my subordinates' speculation, they, they should be immortal cultivators!" the leader of the Black Horse Gang lowered his voice, looking a little uneasy.
Although he is an elder in Qingshui City, he is no different from an ant in front of the immortal cultivators...
"Immortal cultivators?" Jiang Ming was also surprised. He had met immortal cultivators passing by here, but the spiritual energy here was thin, and no immortal cultivators had ever stayed here too long.
The same is true for the nearby mountains. The spiritual energy is extremely poor. The mid-stage Qi-training monster that Jiang Ming killed was almost the top mountain king in the mountains...
What happened to the sudden arrival of a group of immortal cultivators?
"Call your men here, I want to know the details of what happened..." Jiang Ming said solemnly.
…
An hour later.
A ray of cyan rainbow light rose into the sky from Qingshui City and flew towards the outside of the mountain.
"Six or seven cultivators... but they don't seem to be very strong?"
As the Spirit Sword flew on the shuttle, Jiang Ming recalled the information he had just received.
According to the descriptions of the hunting members of the Black Horse Gang who were not captured, the place where they encountered the immortal cultivators was indeed not far from the place where Lu Xiaoyu often went.
During the encounter, the warriors from the Black Horse Gang also resisted, but the other party used talismans, magic weapons, etc. to defeat their hunting team.
"The captain of that hunting team is just a second-rate warrior. If he encounters an immortal cultivator in the middle stage of Qi training, he doesn't need any talismans at all. He can directly kill the hunting team with a casual blow..."
"Since the opponent used magic weapons and talismans, it means that based on their physical strength alone, even if they are higher than this hunting team, they are not much higher... They should be just a group of monks in the early stages of Qi training."
Jiang Ming even estimated that the hunting team of the Black Horse Gang would be bluffed by the methods of those cultivators as soon as they saw it. Otherwise, if they fight hard, maybe a few of them will be killed...
Hugh~
Rainbow light flew by, and Jiang Ming quickly arrived at a mountain forest.
"It should be right here..." He landed down, searched for a moment, and found a valley with remaining traces of the battle.
Jiang Ming walked slowly, carefully observing the damaged rocks, grass and trees around him, and judging the strength of the person who took action.
Although a preliminary judgment has been made based on the description of the black horse gang, Jiang Ming still has to see it with his own eyes before he feels relieved.
"This kind of destructive power... must be in the early stages of Qi training."
Jiang Ming breathed a sigh of relief, but there was still a cloud in his heart. He didn't know why the immortal cultivator appeared here.
"I don't know what the trouble is. Find Lu Xiaoyu as soon as possible and leave here!"
Jiang Ming thought to himself, observing the traces left in the mountains and forests, and went to search for them in the mountains and forests.
This group of cultivators were not even willing to use up their spiritual power to fly with their weapons. Instead, they walked into the mountains and forests on foot, leaving many traces behind. The footprints were so messy that they were obviously not left by professional hunters from the Black Horse Gang...
…
Two hours later, Jiang Ming had gone hundreds of miles deep into the mountains and forests.
boom!
Suddenly, a violent sound came from the front, and a violent wave of spiritual energy spread violently. ….
"Um?"
Jiang Ming's eyes flickered: "Are there any immortal cultivators fighting?"
"It seems that something really happened in this mountain forest, attracting more than one wave of immortal cultivators..."
Jiang Ming was pondering in his heart when he suddenly heard a few piercing sounds in front of him and quickly approached him.
Rest, rest, rest~
He looked up and saw that the figures in front of him were surging with spiritual power and were already flying towards this place with all their strength.
Jiang Ming looked closely and saw three immortal cultivators in the early stages of Qi training. Each of them had blood on their bodies, and their faces were full of panic, as if they were running for their lives.
At this time, the three people also noticed Jiang Ming, and one of them shouted angrily: "Get away!"
He obviously regarded Jiang Ming as a hunter entering the mountain. With a wave of his hand, a burst of spiritual power came, like sweeping away an ant blocking the road.
Jiang Ming couldn't help but laugh. His road was so wide, so he had to bump into me, right?
boom……
He unabashedly showed off his advanced Qi training skills, and with a flick of his finger, the spiritual sword light swept out like mist and rain, densely connected, covering all three of them.
With his current level of cultivation, there is no need to use any magic to deal with such little minions. A casual blow would be a disaster for them.
"Ah..." The three of them screamed in horror, with looks of horror on their faces.
How could a master in the late stage of Qi training suddenly appear here?
Boom boom boom!
However, the three of them had no chance to regret it... The rain of swords hit the mountains and forests, and three puffs of blood mist exploded, leaving only a few fragments of magic weapons and storage rings falling everywhere.
.
Jiang Ming's face was expressionless. I'm just a passerby. If you just want to kill me, you're obviously not a good person, so I'll give you a ride.
Whoosh~
A figure swept from the front again, stopping in front of Jiang Ming in surprise, looking at the blood mist still floating in the air.
This is a slender young man in black robes. He has reached the fifth level of qi training. He is already considered an absolute top master in this place where nothing matters.
"He even appeared in the middle stage of Qi training..." Jiang Ming raised his eyebrows.
"Thank you, fellow Taoist, for taking action to kill these extremely evil people!" The young man in black robe said to Jiang Ming in a frightened manner, with a very low posture.
There are quite a few people who can kill three monks in the early stage of Qi training with one blow, but to be able to do so with such ease... Obviously, this is a master who is also at the top of the advanced stage of Qi training.
The young man in black robe has seen many masters, and he is 80% sure that he is a master who has perfected his qi training...
"This trip is in a hurry, and there are not many helpers who are well-trained in Qi. If I can win over such a master, it seems to be an unexpected blessing..." The young man in black robe thought in his heart and became more and more respectful to Jiang Ming.
Jiang Ming smiled half-heartedly: "What if they are good people and you are the most evil person?"
The young man in black robe was stunned, then he smiled bitterly: "Fellow Taoist, you are really joking, those three people are from the Gray Blood Sect... If you don't believe it, you can look through their storage rings, there should be something that can prove your identity!"
"Grey Blood Sect?" Jiang Ming waved his hand expressionlessly, and sure enough, he found several magical weapons engraved with the Gray Blood Sect's marks in the storage rings of those people. ….
He frowned slightly. The Gray Blood Sect was also a force with a very bad reputation in the Lihuo Territory. Although it only had foundation-building monks in charge, it was said that it was backed by one of the four major alchemy-forming forces and had done many evil things in the Lihuo Territory. He had killed many disciples of the Immortal Cultivation Sect, and had a very bad reputation...
"What happened here?" Jiang Ming's heart sank slightly. He thought they were some casual cultivators, but he didn't expect to meet members of the Immortal Cultivation Sect.
He glanced at the young man in black robe, and it seemed that he could only understand it from him.
A smile suddenly appeared on Jiang Ming's face: "It seems that this fellow Taoist is indeed a righteous person... I am also a peace-loving person. It seems that we are all of the same path."
The young man in black robe sniffed the smell of blood in the air, with a forced smile on his face. He loves peace?
Go ahead and fool me. The posture and speed of this attack are simply too skilled. Who knows how many people you have killed...
However, the young man in black robe wanted to win over him, but he didn't show anything strange. Instead, he reported his family status to Jiang Ming respectfully.
"I came from Qingyu Taoist Temple..."
"Are you a disciple of Qingyu Taoist Academy?" Jiang Ming was a little frightened after hearing this.
There are three great caves and six blessed places in Yu Country, but besides these, there is also a transcendent force, and its status in the world of immortal cultivation in Yu Country is no less than these cave heaven blessed places.
This force is the Qingyu Taoist Academy, and its heritage is no weaker than those of the Cave Heaven Blessed Lands, and even has a longer inheritance than the few junior blessed lands at the bottom.
According to Jiang Ming's understanding, Qingyu Taoist Academy is a college-like existence with unique features in teaching and learning. Many disciples from Dongtian Paradise will be sent to Qingyu Taoist Academy for training and training.
The disciples who have been elected to Qingyu Taoist Academy in the past generations have often achieved higher achievements on the road to immortality. This makes the status of Qingyu Taoist Academy even more transcendent. No force dares to attack it casually...
However, the Yu Country is vast and boundless. There are more than a dozen in a vast domain like the Lihuo Territory. However, Qingyu Taoist Temple is located in the center of the Yu Country. There are only a few hundred disciples in the past generations. Even in several big cave heavens, over the years, Not many people can be selected.
Jiang Ming never imagined that he would meet the disciples of Qingyu Taoist Academy in this deserted place...
"With my low cultivation level, of course I am not a disciple of Qingyu Taoist Academy..." The young man in black robe waved his hands repeatedly and said with a wry smile: "I just followed a quasi-disciple of Qingyu Taoist Academy and came to participate in the trial of the Black Stone Ruins!"
"This generation of Qingyu Daoist selected disciples
The place of trial for disciples is the Black Stone Ruins in Lihuo Domain. Only the proud disciples under the age of fifty who have reached the late stage of Qi training can be qualified to participate in this trial as quasi-disciples... In the Black Stone Ruins The reward is the assessment of whether to enter Qingyu Taoist Academy. "
"There are over a thousand qi-training geniuses who participated in this trial, and the number of people who can finally enter the Qingyu Taoist Academy is only a little over a hundred... And the person I am following, Mr. Li Qianya, is a man from the Xuan Dynasty. If nothing unexpected happens, the talented disciples of Xingdongtian will be among the top thirty dazzling beings who enter Qingyu Taoist Academy!"
Jiang Ming was stunned for a moment. Xuanxing Cave Heaven was one of the three major cave heavens. It was superior to the six blessed places such as Yunxi Sect and was one of the true overlords of the Yu Kingdom.
He wondered: "But the Black Stone Ruins are thousands of miles away from here, what are you doing here?"
"The Black Stone Ruins is just a remaining ancient ruin, but its original scope was more than this..."
The young man in black robe intended to make friends with Jiang Ming, so he didn't mind saying more: "There seems to be some extraordinary things in this mountain range. They were unearthed based on some ancient books, and they attracted some geniuses who came here to test them. Attention."
"It is said that the things here are closely related to the chance of the Black Stone Ruins. If fellow Taoists are interested, you can explore with us..."
