In the air, the four people escaping in a hurry couldn't help but look back.
Since these four people besieged Wu Gu, they must be Luan Xiuzhang and his party.
It seems that Luan Xiuzhang is not a very careless person. The map Wu Kui sold him previously made him suspicious. Although Wu Kui later returned the spirit stone he bought the map for, he was still secretly exploring the map. Regarding the map, after many inquiries, I was shocked into a cold sweat when I learned about the mirage. Only then did I learn that the last time I searched for the map based on the map, I actually walked around the Gate of Hell. If there weren't so many people there, I wouldn't have been there. I was afraid that it had been chewed up by the mirage a long time ago, so I decided to remove the five-stringed robe to avoid causing trouble again in the future.
This time they had to secretly follow Wu Ku, but they were discovered by Wu Ku early. Wu Ku did not panic and took them to dangerous places and desperate places. It seemed that Wu Ku had already made arrangements and followed them all the way. When they came down, Luan Xiuzhang and the others were in danger, and almost faced desperation several times. Only then did they realize that they were being plotted by Wu Kuan again, so they no longer concealed it, and chased them to fight in the middle of the night. Wu Gu was naturally outmatched, so he ran for his life in a panic, but was unexpectedly chased by Luan Xiuzhang and others. When he took action, he thought he would not escape death, so he let go and fought for his life. Unexpectedly, Dong Zhong, An Zhen and others below were alarmed. The three of them finally escaped from the desperate situation and escaped with their lives.
Luan Xiuzhang knew that Wu Gu had escaped, so he would not stay outside the sect for another moment. He would only rush back to the sect. It would be useless to pursue him now, so he could only give up bitterly.
However, the four of them had just flown away from An Zhen and the others in a hurry. Halfway through, they discovered that there seemed to be someone in the air in front of them, and it was not one person, but two people. The four of them did not want to cause more trouble at this time, so they took a detour and headed towards the other side. Went in one direction.
Those two people were not others, they were Yun Xi and Bai Lin who were following An Zhen, Yu Xian and others all the way.
"It's so lively. I didn't expect that coming out this time would really open my eyes. I didn't know Zongwai could be like this before. It seems that I will have to come out a few more times in the future."
It was Bai Lin who spoke. Although he was far away just now, he and Yun Xi still saw the fierce fight between those people.
"It's naturally lively outside the sect, but there are still rules within the sect. What's more, you are still Elder Bai's son. Even those high-level Qi refining disciples are not easy to provoke you. Look at the few people in front of you and the ones you saw yesterday. Yes, hum! It seems that death outside the sect is a common thing. If you want to come out often, you'd better practice well first and be a little more sure."
After hearing what Yun Xia said, Bai Lin didn't care. He naturally had the means to save his life. After all, he was a pill-forming monk and felt that it was always boring to stay in the air like this. He then said: "Sister Yun, can we just Are you going to wait for them until dawn? I think we might as well find a place to hide, otherwise they will be able to see us when dawn comes."
"Well," Yun Xi nodded and said, "Yes, let's find a place where we can see their movements but not be discovered by them."
After the two of them finished speaking, they headed towards the mountain below under the leadership of Yun Xi.
…
Dawn breaks in the east and the sky becomes brighter.
However, Qian Chao and the other five people in the cave were not aware of it at all.
At this time, the five people were sitting quietly, closing their eyes and guarding their hearts, not moving at all.
The five people in silence were like boating on the river together. The journey was originally calm and cloudless, with bright flowers on the shore and fish swimming in the water. The five people also felt quite comfortable while practicing. But I don't know when the strong wind started to blow in the sky, the sails of the boat were swaying, the river was rolling, and the turbid waves had become huge. In front of the boat, the river suddenly narrowed, and the rolling turbid current was like a herd of wild horses. If we move forward, there will be unforeseen worries, but at this time the five of them are already riding a tiger, and it is impossible to get off the boat. They have no choice but to close the sails and steer, and each perform their duties, hoping that they can pass through the current safely. Urgent place.
Among the five people sitting upright, Lu Pingchuan's face was the calmest, and no changes could be seen.
Followed by Tang Ping and Yanxuan.
Li Jian's face looked slightly solemn while sitting upright.
As for Qian Chao, at this moment of breakthrough, there was a layer of fine beads of sweat on his forehead. However, despite this, his figure had been sitting steadily. However, there was a flash of brilliance in his hands, which had been captured by him earlier. The two spirit stones in his hand had just been completely absorbed by him. Without the help of the spirit stones, he would have to rely entirely on himself.
…
"Three senior brothers, what's the matter?"
In a mountain forest, Dong Zhong and three other people intercepted several Five Spirit disciples who were out. Being intercepted by such a high-level disciple whose cultivation level was far higher than his own in the desert outside the sect, and the other person looked unkind, this made the intercepted people panic, even when they asked There was a little vibrato.
Dong Min wanted to take out the portrait again and compare it one by one, but An Zhen felt that it was too conspicuous, so he held Dong Min down and didn't let him take out the portrait. He took out the panic-looking junior brothers one by one. After looking it over, he realized that none of these people had Qian Chao, so he pretended to say, "Do you guys have any nine-flower grass?"
"Senior brother, we didn't find the Nine Sunflower Grass... If you don't believe me, you can take a look."
A little guy with a scared face replied, and in order to convince the other party, he took out his storage bag and asked An Zhen to look through it.
"Well, forget it if you don't have one. By the way, how many days have you been out? Have you met anyone around here?"
"Back to senior brother, we came out the day before yesterday and have been looking for spiritual herbs near here. We haven't met anyone else."
"Well, okay, in that case let's go."
An Zhen turned around as he spoke, shook his head slightly at his two companions, and left together.
As soon as the three people left, the five five spirit disciples who were still in shock couldn't help but look at each other, and one of them asked: "Nine Sunflower Grass, what is that?"
"How do I know? It's probably some higher-level spiritual grass. Let's leave here. No matter how I look at it, I feel that those senior brothers have bad intentions."
"Well, me too, it's better to leave quickly."
…
"Is it possible that the boy named Han gave us wrong information? Why can't we find the boy named Qian after searching for so long?"
Dong Zhong and other three people learned from Han Tian that Qian Chao had received the mission at the Jingshiyuan. They roughly guessed the direction Qian Chao might go and searched along that direction. However, they found many five people who had gone out one after another. Ling disciples, but when they got closer, the boy named Qian Chao was not there. As time passed, the impatient Dong Min lost his temper and began to doubt the news about Han Tian.
"Brother Dong, that guy surnamed Han will definitely not lie to us about this matter. They are also waiting to open the ruins. This sect is so big, we only need to find one person, and of course it will take a lot of effort. It takes a lot of effort.”
"Hmph!" Dong Min was still angry in his heart, "Why should we do this tiring and leg-breaking job? They two are quite leisurely!"
An Zhen ignored Dong Zhong's complaints. He looked back and saw that there was nothing in the sky behind but a few floating clouds.
"It's strange," An Zhen said, "Why do I feel like we are being followed by someone as soon as we come out today?"
"Oh?" Dong Min and Yu Xian turned around to look when they heard what he said, but they didn't find anything strange?
Yu Xian said: "Could it be that Wen Zhang and Han Tian are worried about us?"
"Then what do they want to do? Is it possible that if we find Qian Chao, will the two of them come to rob people?" Dong Min said.
"No," An Zhen said, "Don't forget, only Junior Brother Yu understands the art of formation. Even if Qian Chao is willing to refine weapons for them if they fall out in advance, without Junior Brother Yu, they won't be able to open the ruins."
Dong Min said: "Who else can it be?"
"Hmm... hum!" An Zhen sneered, "Maybe I'm being careless, maybe, someone saw us when we were discussing with Wen Zhang and Han Tian. Since those people can follow Luo Ying and Wenyuan, why can't they? Following us, hum, if this is the case, we really have to be more careful, lest they want to be like oriole when we flutter at the cicada."
When An Zhen said this, the other two people immediately became alert. If they were targeted by high-level disciples of the sect who also coveted the ruins and treasures, such trouble would be no joke. Although they were not afraid, they were not as afraid as Luo Ying and Wenyuan was able to kill his opponent while talking and laughing.
The three of them discussed for a while before flying away quickly.
At this time, Bai Lin, who was hiding in a secret place in the forest, saw the three people flying away and was about to catch up, but Yunxi grabbed him.
"Wait," Yun Xi said, "It seems that we have been following them, and now they seem to be aware of it. Don't move yet, wait and see."
"No way, Sister Yun, we have followed so far, and we can still be discovered by them?" Bai Lin didn't believe it.
"It's better to wait. I don't think it's right. These people's cultivation is higher than the two of us. If they really find out, it will be trouble for us if they take action."
Bai Lin looked at Yun Xi suspiciously. Although he felt a little disapproving, he continued to wait there.
The two waited for a while, and Bai Lin lost his temper again and said, "There has been no movement for so long. They must not have noticed us. If we don't follow, we will be lost."
"Stop talking!" Yun Xi whispered, then quietly pointed in a direction with his finger.
Sure enough, following the direction pointed by Yun Xi, Bai Lin found that the three people were flying low over the treetops in the direction where the two of them were hiding.
Yunxi pulled Bai Lin and hid deep in the trees, then raised his eyes to watch the three people flying above the treetops.
"So cunning!" Bai Lin said. Seeing the three people flying over, staying in the air for a while and then flying away, Bai Lin said with confidence, "Okay now, shall we..."
Unexpectedly, Yunxi glared at him and motioned for him to continue hiding there quietly.
Sure enough, after two cups of tea, another figure flew across the sky. They didn't know the names of the three people, but they recognized that the figure was one of the three people they were following.
Looking closer, the three people were actually separated. The three people were quietly searching the forest from different directions.
Bai Lin was convinced now. He didn't expect that Sister Yun himself would be so alert, which made him somewhat admired.
The three people searched separately and found nothing, so they gathered together again, discussed for a while, and then flew away.
"I'm really leaving this time." Yunxi said, looking at the direction in which they disappeared.
Bai Lin, however, was still uneasy and asked, "Will they come back halfway to kill us again?"
"Probably not, but we can't follow him as close as before. We have to follow him from a distance."
"Sister Yun, what are they doing with that boy named Qian Chao? Why are they so cautious?"
"I don't know, but judging from the look just now, if they find us, they will probably take action against us immediately. From this... well, I'm afraid it's not a good thing for them to find the Qian Chao. There will be a dispute, and it is estimated that there will be violence, so we still have to continue to follow, and we cannot lose track."
"Then...what can happen?"
"Don't forget, there are Qian Chao and Li Jian. There are five of them in total. Based on my understanding of Li Jian, he will definitely not see Qian Chao being bullied. Probably... no, he will definitely take action. Let's go. , continue to follow.”
"Um."
…
It was almost noon.
The cave hall where Qian Chao and the other five were practicing was still quiet.
At the entrance of the cave, the formation arranged by Qian Chao to hide his whereabouts was intact. In the cave, Tang Ping's small white jade bottle had received a lot of spiritual spring water over night and morning.
However, the five Qian Chao people still sat cross-legged together quietly.
The five people were silent, but there were differences. Lu Pingchuan had been sitting with his eyes closed, unable to see any changes, as quiet as a deep sleep.
Followed by Tang Ping and Yan Xuan, the two women's expressions were also extremely calm.
Li Jian's face turned slightly red, but it was just red, and his expression was relaxed.
There was only Qian Chao. At this time, not only was his face flushed, but the beads of sweat on his forehead were already sliding down his cheeks.
It looked like Lu Pingchuan was striding forward, with Tang Ping and Yan Xuan following leisurely. Li Jian could keep up even with a quick step, but Qian Chaozheng was the only one who was struggling to keep up with his steps. .
…
The sun is in the west.
The figures of Dong Zhong and the other three people stopped outside a lake shrouded in mist.
Dong Zhong looked at the lake and saw the hesitation on An Zhen's face, so he asked: "Brother An, what's the matter? Don't we go and have a look there?"
"There..." An Zhen stared at the fog, and there was still fog everywhere, "Can low-level disciples go there? I have heard of this place. It is said that there are some powerful monsters in it, and Some people say they have seen intermediate-level monsters there."
"Brother An means that it's impossible for Qian Chao to go there?"
Dong Min asked. He had never been there and didn't know what was in the lake.
Yu Xian did not intend to let that place go, and said: "I have also heard that there seems to be some unusual things there, but since you are here, you should take a look before you can rest assured. Since they say it is dangerous there, let's be careful. No It’s okay to fall down easily, Brother An, what do you think?”
"Forget it, let's fly higher. I heard that many disciples from the sect accidentally entered there before and were either injured or even lost their lives. You have to be careful."
…
Seeing the three people flying into the mist, Yun Xi hesitated.
"Brother Bai, do you know where they went?"
"Sister Yun, I rarely go out. I don't know that place."
"Hey, look at those three people who just hesitated for a while by the lake. With their cultivation level, they even had to go in cautiously and timidly. What should the two of us do?"
"Sister Yun... do you think those three people want to hide in the mist and intercept us two when we get in?"
"It's... it's not impossible, but I still feel that the fog doesn't seem to be a good place to go." At this point, Yunxi glanced at Bai Lin and secretly thought that if he came out alone, he would dare to go in there to see what was going on. , but it’s hard to do this with such a stumbling block. If something happens to this guy, his aunt will not be able to explain it anyway. Thinking of this, he said helplessly, "Forget it, our cultivation is not enough." Deep, it’s better not to go in. In my opinion, it’s better to wait here for a while and see if those three people will come out.”
"Well, that's fine too."
…
The small island in the center of the lake is almost entirely the hill that is firmly entrenched by the roots of the giant tree. Along the way up the giant tree, the fog becomes lighter and lighter, and the field of view becomes wider and wider. When the giant tree reaches the top, it is like a cloud. canopy.
In the canopy of crisscrossing branches, many bird's nests like giant bowls are built on the crisscrossing branches.
This is where the huge and powerful sparrows live.
There are adults and young birds resting here.
One of the sparrow chicks was particularly excited. It was the one that killed the huge Mu Kui beast on the island before and then swallowed its demonic elixir. It seemed that the demon pill yesterday made this young sparrow very satisfied. At this time, it was waving its wings and jumping back and forth between the branches. From time to time, it would open its sharp long beak and make a sound. A shrill cry.
Its actions aroused the dissatisfaction of the adult sparrow, which had always been larger. The adult bird took advantage of the opportunity for the young bird to jump over and waved its thick wings towards it. The wind blew loudly and a strong The strong wind suddenly swept away, causing the young bird to fall from the branch, followed by a long scream.
…
Qian Chao's face was almost extremely red, white steam steamed out from the hair on his head, and his shoulders were trembling slightly.
At this time, the breakthrough of the five people had reached a critical moment, but Lu Pingchuan beside Qian Chao remained expressionless and extremely calm.
Among the other three, Tang Ping and Yan Xuan only frowned slightly, while Li Jian looked solemn.
There was a faint "grunt" sound, and the figures of the five people shook almost at the same time. It seemed that the invisible rope that the five people were tightly tied together was being cut in one fell swoop. Suddenly, the five people no longer felt the force and became empty. At that moment, Qian Chao's body involuntarily swayed to Lu Pingchuan's side due to his own reaction force, Tang Ping swayed slightly towards Qian Chao, and Li Jian swayed in the direction of Tang Ping, Yan Xuan swayed slightly in the direction of Li Jian, and only Lu Pingchuan barely moved.
Just as four of the five people were shaking involuntarily, a wave of spiritual power came from where the five people were sitting around. There were constant collisions and reflections in the cave hall. Although there was a incomplete formation to block it, it was still Still unable to completely block it, it penetrated all the way to the outside of the cave.
…
The young bird that was punished by the adult bird was the first to feel the fluctuation of spiritual power during its fall. It suddenly became excited and spun around in the air a few times. After making a sharp bird call, it flapped its wings rapidly in the air. It began to come down eagerly, and the fluctuation of spiritual power in its feeling was that there was another strong enemy below that could match it and was challenging it, so it was eager to go down and fight again. Ichiban!
…
Dong Zhong and the other three were flying towards the center of the lake in the mist. At this time, the three of them could vaguely see the small island in the center of the lake, and of course the towering giant trees. They were cautiously , they first felt the fluctuation of spiritual power. This fluctuation was so strong that they were both confused and a little afraid, and they couldn't help but stop in the air.
"What is it?" Yu Xian asked.
"Isn't it because some powerful guy discovered us?" Dong Min was also a little scared at this time.
While they were thinking about it, they saw a dark cloud coming towards them in the mist, and the speed was not slow.
After seeing clearly what the dark cloud was, An Zhen's face suddenly changed color, and he said in a trembling voice: "Quick... hurry up!"
The other two people also felt a deep chill rising up their backs due to fear. The three of them turned around and used their flying skills to the extreme, and fled straight away with the sound of howling wind.
…
Fortunately, these three people saw the opportunity quickly and escaped early. Otherwise, if they were caught up by the dark cloud-like sparrow, they would be torn into pieces if they met each other!
When the sparrow flew halfway, it spotted the three people flying towards them, and it immediately became interested. It thought that the previous spiritual energy fluctuations were caused by those three people, so it rushed over without hesitation. Unexpectedly, the three people were flying towards them. But the man turned around early and ran away, hating it so much that it couldn't help but scream.
Dong Zhong and the other three people only thought that the true spiritual power fluctuation was caused by the sparrow who discovered them, and that it was a warning to the three of them not to approach, so they fled in embarrassment.
Only Yunxi and Bai Lin, who were guarding the edge of the lake, were confused. Not long after they landed on the edge of the lake, they saw the three people rushing out of the mist like lost dogs. They just fled all the way, and when they were wondering, they vaguely heard a sharp scream coming from the mist. The two of them were not very advanced, but they felt that although the scream was far away, it was full of pressure and terrifying. The two of them couldn't help but get up and fly towards the nearby mountains and forests. In the panic, Yun Xi didn't forget to see clearly the direction in which the three people were fleeing.
