Outside the sect, above the vast mountains and under the sky, a monk was flying by.
Judging from the direction of his flight, he was probably returning to the sect after completing his errands outside the sect.
This monk's name is Yan Jing, and he is a recent figure among the many qi-refining disciples in the sect. He is not tall and has an ordinary appearance. He has an ordinary round face, with only a light, pale face above the plump cheekbones. Under the short eyebrows, those cunning and bright eyes can attract people's attention. Due to his always low-key behavior, not many people know him, but as long as people who know him are all curious, envious and inexplicable fear of this person.
The reason why people are like this is because Yan Jing's talent is barely above average in terms of cultivation. Although he has been in the sect for a long time, he has been unable to break through to the fifth level of Qi refining. However, it is said that he later had an adventure outside the sect and seemed to have met a mysterious figure. In less than two years, his cultivation level improved by leaps and bounds, not only breaking through that The restraints of Xiao Wu Guan are still advancing rapidly. A few months ago, he experienced another breakthrough and became an eighth-level Qi refining monk. At this time, he has become a feared and enviable high-level Qi refining monk in the eyes of others. Chi monk.
According to the rules of the Five Spirits Sect, monks on the first and second levels of Qi Refining are not allowed to leave the sect, so they are not allowed to leave the sect. Monks on the third and fourth levels of Qi Refining are considered low-level monks. The cultivation level is regarded as an intermediate monk, while the eighth and ninth levels of Qi Refining are regarded as high-level Qi Refining monks. If the ninth level of Qi Refining reaches the later stage, they will face the most important bottleneck for Qi Refining monks, which is foundation building.
Yan Jing looks to be in his twenties, which is the age when he is young and vigorous. Of course, the age of a monk cannot be judged by his appearance. Yan Jing's actual age is already past the age of an octogenarian in the world, but in this world of cultivation , his age is no more than that of a toddler, and the reason why he looks like this is just because he has taken the Zhuyan Dan.
In fact, even the mentality of monks cannot be compared with that of the world. With Yan Jing's age, if the mortals in the world have already grown old and experienced a lifetime of hardships, they would probably be happy to have grandchildren and enjoy life in peace at this time. Or he is lying in bed sick, looking at the world that is about to abandon him with cloudy eyes. Only the monks are different. Firstly, people in the spiritual world rarely experience human relationships in the world, and have little understanding of the vicissitudes of things and old friends disappearing. Secondly, not to mention Yan Jing's age at this time, even those who are in the 100s Above, the monks whose cultivation far exceeded him were still like children who were ignorant and curious about the world of cultivation.
After all, the gap between the spiritual world and the secular world is just too huge!
Yan Jing hurried back to the sect today because he had something to do.
While flying, when passing by a mountain top, Yan Jing suddenly heard someone calling loudly, as if calling him.
"Senior Brother Yan, Senior Brother Yan!"
Slowing down, Yan Jing followed the sound and looked over.
Four figures flew up from the top of the mountain and came towards him. They kept saying loudly: "Oh, it is indeed Senior Brother Yan. I didn't expect to meet him outside the sect."
Among the four people who flew over, Yan Jing knew the first one, and the other three were all unfamiliar faces.
The name of the person he knew was Wang Yizhong. He was about the same age as Yan Jing. They entered the Wuling Sect together and were at the middle level of Qi Refining.
However, when Wang Yizhong flew closer, he could see that this man looked much older than Yan Jing. He was a middle-aged man who was miserable and miserable. When he came to Yan Jing, he squeezed out his face without any concealment. With a somewhat flattering smile, he said:
"It's really Senior Brother Yan! I haven't seen you for a long time. How has Senior Brother Yan always been? A few days ago, I paid a visit in the sect. Only then did I know that Senior Brother Yan has left the sect. Junior Brother, I'm still very sorry. I didn't expect to see you here today. It's such a pleasure to meet you here! Come on, come on, this is the senior brother Yan I told you about, come and see me."
The last sentence was what Wang Yizhong turned to say to the three people following him. The three people heard Wang Yizhong talk about some things about Yan Jing, and saw that this person was a high-level monk. After saying that, he quickly saluted.
However, these words made Yan Jing feel faintly unhappy.
He has always acted unassumingly, and he is even more cautious and low-key. He only thinks that he can be invisible to everyone and not attract attention. This Wang Yizhong flatters himself in front of others. This kind of behavior makes him unhappy, so he is ready to deal with it casually. He threw him away with a few words, and warned him a few words in the future not to talk about his affairs to others again.
Noticing the displeasure in Yan Jing's eyes, Wang Yizhong realized what he had done wrong, so he asked with a smile:
"Where are you going, Senior Brother Yan?"
"After the matter is done, it is natural to return to the sect."
"Oh, what a coincidence!" Wang Yizhong's face showed a bit of joy, "I have also finished the errands of Jingshiyuan and are about to rush back to the sect. Since Senior Brother Yan is going back, why don't we go together? As a fellow traveler, maybe I can ask Senior Brother Yan for advice on the way?"
After saying this, the three people behind Wang Yizhong looked strange. The four of them had obviously just left the sect and had done one or two of the tasks they had received, but it would take some time before they were finished. , why did Senior Brother Wang say that the mission was completed when he met Senior Brother Yan? He had to follow him all the way back to the sect. What was he thinking?
The three of them were about to ask questions when Wang Yizhong turned his head and glared at them, forcing them to shut up. They only looked at him in confusion from behind.
Yan was surprised and smiled slightly. He naturally knew what Wang Yizhong wanted to do. I don’t know where or from whom this person heard some rumors about him. He just thought that he had met a noble person, so he could have such a breakthrough in his cultivation. From then on, he often pestered him, not only did he say good things Jin still offers some gifts from time to time, just hoping that I can help introduce them to him.
It was a good idea, but at the moment he had other things to do and had no time to chat with him. Yan Jing immediately excused himself by saying that he had something to do and wanted to get rid of Wang Yizhong.
Unfortunately, Wang Yizhong entangled people like a piece of brown sugar. Once it got stuck, it was difficult to get rid of it. As soon as Yan Jing heard that there was something to do, he immediately volunteered to help. Speaking of which, Yan Jing and Wang Yizhong joined the Wuling Sect together, and they had some friendship in the past. In addition, he later visited and gave gifts from time to time, so Yan Jing had no choice but to go back with him. Within the sect.
When the three people following Wang Yizhong didn't know what to do, they saw his look back at him. It seemed that there were some benefits to following this person, so they stopped talking and only followed Wang Yizhong and that person. Senior Brother Yan flew towards the sect together.
Along the way, Wang Yizhong didn't close his mouth, and kept chatting with Yan Jing. Yan Jing, on the other hand, was so noisy that he had a headache. It was often Wang Yizhong who asked him ten questions before he had any luck with him. The previous sentence was answered, but this did not affect Wang Yizhong's mood at all, and he kept talking to himself.
When the five people were flying over a valley, they were attracted by the movement below. Only then did Wang Yizhong shut his mouth.
From the dense mountain forest in the valley below, the sounds of fierce fighting could be heard.
A person following Wang Yizhong said, "Huh? Is someone fighting here or dealing with some monster?"
Wang Yizhong rolled his eyes, stared at the mountains and forests below and said, "If you want to know, go down and take a look and it will become clear."
Yan Jing smiled inwardly after hearing this, secretly thinking that this guy really couldn't forget to do this kind of thing. He was not curious, he just wanted to go over and see if there was any advantage he could take advantage of.
Seeing the look in Yan Jing's eyes, Wang Yizhong knew that Senior Brother Yan had seen through his plans, but he didn't care. Instead, he smiled and said: "Senior Brother Yan, why don't we go over and take a look, if we can give It’s easy for them to help.”
Yan Jing said: "Okay, I'm also curious about what can be found here, and I also want to see what Junior Brother Wang can do."
Hearing what Yan Jing said, Wang Yizhong chuckled again and flew downward first, following the place where the fighting sound came from.
…
In the forest, it seemed that the fight had been going on for some time where the sound came from. Several trees were lying down in various directions, forming a small open space in the forest. Looking at the fractures of the big trees, some of them had thorns. Some were broken with great force, and some had smooth fractures that looked like they had been cut off with a sharp blade.
In the open space, three strange-looking monsters were fighting with five monks. The monster beast had two long horns like a goat. The pair of black horns were thick and long, and a spiral was attached to its head. It was protected and extended straight forward, like two sharp short spears, with a strange long face. When roaring, you can almost see with the naked eye a sound wave suddenly rushing outward, causing the grass and trees to fall to the ground. At this time, you can still see its mouth full of sharp teeth and a long red tongue. The most strange thing is that this monster has only one eye, which is located in the middle of its forehead. The eye blinks constantly, and the yellow-brown eyes are like It was like an hourglass, with a thin vertical black line in the middle, which was as chilling as a snake's eye.
The four hooves of these three monsters are strong. When they run, the soil flies up. Their speed is not inferior to that of the monks. In the blink of an eye, the two sharp black horns can stab in front of them. If they can't dodge, they will be sure. It can penetrate people, lift them up, and then throw them away with a raise of their head; or it can roar unexpectedly. As long as the roar affects the person, it will be like being hit in the chest by a heavy hammer, and they will definitely... It suffered a lot of damage, coupled with its thick skin, rough temper, recklessness, and fear of death. Therefore, the five monks who fought with these three monsters could not take them down for a while. Instead, they had to keep fighting with them. Use your own body skills to avoid the collision of these three monsters, and beware of their loud roars from time to time, so as not to be injured by the sound waves.
But even so, it is not easy for these three monsters to work together to injure these five monks. Although these five people are always on the defensive, with more defense and less attack, these five people are no matter whether they are defensive or offensive. There is no chaos at all. Whenever three monster beasts rush towards one person, the other people can always take action from the side to prevent them from attacking together, or they can warn them in advance to avoid the roar of the monster beast, and attack several times. The two of them each attracted the attention of two monsters, and the other three worked together to deal with one. However, the monster was too fast, and they did not dare to directly confront the two sharp horns of the monster, so I tried several times but failed to achieve success.
In the open space, there were flashes of figures, strange roars, and a continuous burst of sword light and fire.
While flying there, Yan Jing noticed that one of the five monks looked back warily and then turned back, and then the other four also looked over during the fight.
There are a few vigilant guys, Yan Jing thought to himself.
Wang Yizhong was somewhat interested when he saw the monks fighting with monsters below. Generally speaking, there are often advantages to be taken advantage of in this situation. He first looked at the three monster beasts carefully. After looking at them for a while, he pondered for a moment and said with some hesitation: "Is that... Luo Chong Beast?"
Yan Jing said: "Yes, that is Luo Chong Beast, well... Luo Chong Beast's horns are good things, and they can be sold for a good price in the sect. Junior Brother Wang, there are six horns below! "
Understanding the meaning of Yan Jing's words, Wang Yizhong smiled and was about to say something when he heard a monk who was walking with him suddenly say: "Strange, why is he a low-level monk?"
After hearing this, Wang Yizhong and Yan Jing began to pay attention to the monks who were fighting below. As expected, those three Luo Chong beasts were actually facing five low-level Qi refining monks. From their point of view, That is, it is only the fourth level of Qi Refining. They are now in a place where high-level monks do not want to come and low-level monks do not dare to come. I did not expect that such a little guy with such a low level of cultivation would dare to come here and argue with this Luo. It's time to fight the beast!
It seems that there is some chance, Wang Yizhong said secretly.
One person said with some disdain: "When did this become a place where low-level monks can come?"
Another person took a closer look at the five people below and seemed to recognize someone. He turned around and said, "It's Qian Chao. No wonder, the disciples in the inner hall of Chengqi Hall are quite brave."
Hearing Qian Chao's name, others didn't react at all. Na Yan was stunned for a moment, then turned his attention to the five monks. He knew that Qian Chao was a man, so among the five monks, he knew that Qian Chao was a man. The two little girls were ignored by him. Among the remaining three young men, one was as strong as an iron tower. He fought with the Naluo Chong beast with his bare hands. A Luo Chong beast almost rushed to his chest. The pair of sharp black horns were about to poke two bloody holes in his chest, but he didn't dodge. He shouted loudly and stretched out his hands like lightning to hold the two holes tightly. The black horns stabbed him, but his whole body did not move, but he was still pushed back half a foot by the momentum of the Luo Chong beast. Then with a loud shout, he held the two black horns and hit the Luo Chong beast's head. He pressed down, forcefully pressing Naluochong Beast's roar to the ground, causing a burst of earth and rocks to fly.
This person cannot be Qian Chao. I heard that Qian Chao is good at refining weapons. When fighting, he must use his own spiritual weapons to fight against the enemy. Looking at this person's method of dealing with Naluo Chong Beast, it seems that he is an individual cultivator. Well, he must be In this way, the body cultivation in Houtu Temple is not common!
The other man is also tall and strong, and has the most calm demeanor among the five. He has a gleaming spiritual sword in his hand. The sword looks like it is not ordinary, but the spiritual sword never leaves his hand, and the sword he uses is not. It was an ordinary monk's method of hurting people with flying swords, and even Yan Jing was surprised by this person's movement skills. Where did a low-level monk get such swift movement skills? Yan Jing's eyes followed the man, watching him fly up and strike out with his sword. The sword light pointed at the eye in the middle of the forehead of a Luo Chong beast. It seemed that that was the key point of the Luo Chong beast, but This Luo Chong beast didn't seem to care about fighting this man and hurt both sides. It actually charged straight towards him without any care. It was about to collide with each other. In desperation, in order to avoid dying together, the man's figure suddenly straightened up and moved towards him. The Luo Chong beast gave way, but the Luo Chong beast, which had missed the collision, turned around and opened its mouth to roar at the man. Suddenly, a powerful fire light slashed towards the Na Luo Chong beast, forcing it to Denarochongmon hurriedly jumped away to avoid it.
This flash of fire also made Yan Jing notice that the one in the red dress among the two little girls seemed to be a disciple of Qixia Mountain. The flash of fire just now seemed to be a spell that was only available in Qixia Mountain. The name seemed to be Phoenix Ling Fire Sword, only they have mastered this fire technique.
This man relied on his body skills to fight against the monsters with the spiritual sword in his hand. This style of fighting was not in line with the Qian Chao that Yan Jing heard about. Looking at the figure and temperament of the man, he looked like a sword cultivator. It should be Qian Chao, but... Sword Cultivator!
Unexpectedly, today I not only met a physical cultivator, but also a sword cultivator. It seems that the people around Qian Chao are also extraordinary!
Then the last young man was left. The young man was a little thin and not tall. He had empty hands, but he made various tricks in his hands from time to time. Then Yan Jing noticed a hand with the same cold light. The knife swam quickly around his body like a frightened fish, waiting for an opportunity to stab the Naluo Chong beast from time to time.
Yan Jing watched as a huge and strong Luo Chong beast rushed towards the thin young man like a gray shadow, but there was a loud "cang" sound on the way, and a large shield came out of nowhere. It blocked it, and the two black horns slammed into the big shield. The shield was strong, and there was no damage at all. However, when the Luo Chong beast was blocked from charging forward, it was unconvinced and kept lowering its head and stubbornly facing towards the shield. Pushing forward, pushing the big shield and slowly leaning towards the young man. Suddenly there was a burst of water vapor above the ground, and in the blink of an eye a layer of ice formed on the ground. The extremely smooth ice surface could no longer let Naluochong beast use its strength, and its four hooves used too much force, and quickly After pedaling on the ice a few times, he suddenly screamed, his hooves dangling in the air, and fell onto it.
Yan Jing looked at the little girl in a lake blue dress next to the thin young man. He guessed that this girl was a disciple of Bibotan in Shuiyun Valley. They all learned the art of ice and cold. Watch this little girl cast a spell. His methods are much stronger than those of ordinary low-level disciples, and he is indeed a dazzling figure.
He looked at the big shield again. This shield was quite good. Although the Luo Chong Beast was not very powerful, if he had to face such a collision, he would have to avoid it for the time being. But the big shield was safe and sound. It must be A carefully refined spiritual weapon for protection.
Well, looking at it this way, this young man must be Qian Chao. Thinking of this, Yan Jing took a closer look at the young man's facial features. Judging from this shield, it seems that Qian Chao's weapon refining skills are really good. But that's all. He is still a low-level disciple with a low level of cultivation. He doesn't know what is so special about Qian Chao that makes that person value him so much. He wants to kill him but is unwilling to do it himself. Instead, he is trying to figure it out. After some calculations, he asked others to help him kill him. Now Qian Chao is still alive and well. It must be that his previous calculations failed to come true. The man seemed a little impatient, so he asked himself to return to the sect and try again. Push this matter.
This Yan Jing was the same person who stabbed Dong Min to death with a sword in front of Han Tian in the underground cave that day according to Wen Liang's words!
