"You three, you've finished watching the fun, please show up!"
As Li Jian finished speaking, three people flew out from a little distance away, and it was Cao Ze and the others.
Cao Ze was an eloquent guy. As soon as he arrived in front of these five people, he smiled and said:
"Don't get me wrong, junior brothers and sisters. The three of us also passed by by chance. At first we were curious about what these casual cultivators were going to do. Later we found out that they wanted to harm people. To be honest, we were about to take action, but we never expected how many of them The methods of the junior brothers and sisters are so clever. It is really admirable to defeat these guys without any effort. I was hesitating whether to come out. I was worried that some of them would mistakenly think that we were also trying to block the way. Haha, I didn't expect to be seen through. Xingzang, just come out and explain, please don’t misunderstand us.”
The people who came here were all kind words, and among them was a little girl whose cultivation was worse than Qian Chao and others. It seemed that the other party had no intention of taking action. Usually at this time, Li Jian stopped talking. , turned around and glanced at Tang Ping, then stepped back. Lu Pingchuan even more so. Seeing this situation, he felt bored and turned back to the dead casual cultivators to fumble for their storage bags.
Tang Ping took a step forward and said to Cao Ze:
"I see. It seems that we have some misunderstandings. I hope the two senior brothers and sisters won't take offense. It's not that we are clever in our methods, but that these casual cultivators are not good enough and can only harm people with their conspiracy."
Cao Ze smiled and said:
"You're welcome, Junior Sister Tang. I've heard that Junior Sister Tang and the others have made great contributions to the sect a few days ago. Speaking of which, I thought it was strange when I heard about them before. But now that I've seen their methods, I know that they are truly worthy of their reputation." , Oh, Cao Ze, these two..."
Before Cao Ze could continue, the woman named Shangguan spoke.
"Junior sister Tang, I am Shangguan Hong, my mentor is senior Qiu Huahe, and this is my sister Shangguan Xiu."
After finishing speaking, Shangguan Hong smiled at Tang Ping, while Shangguan Xiu beside her made a face at Tang Ping.
Hearing Qiu Huahe's name, although Tang Ping was calm on the surface, her heart tightened, Qiu Huahe!
The name of this Qiu Huahe Fairy Guhuo once told Tang Ping, asking her to pay attention to this person and be wary of this person. It is because of this person that Tang Ping's Xiaobai has never dared to show it in front of others, because that Qiu Huahe wanted to be able to He found a spirit fox with the blood of the Sky Fox, which had not been in the sect for more than a hundred years. Just to get a spirit fox like Xiaobai, he traveled to countless places in the world. If he was allowed to know about Tang Ping's With a spirit fox like Xiao Bai in his body, it is impossible for him to snatch a junior regardless of his status. Of course, Tang Ping was a little scared after hearing those words.
Because of this, Fairy Guhuo gave Tang Ping the "Rufeng Tablet" when she became her apprentice, in order to prevent Qiu from turning into a gully.
Although Fairy Guhuo didn't say it at the time, Tang Ping later found out that Qiu Huahe and her master were actually disciples of the same master, and that Qiu Huahe was still his senior brother.
Among the Wuling Sect's alchemy monks, this Qiu Huahe has a place among the "Five Unreasonables". However, the alchemy monks among the five, such as Kang Fu and Tian Zhi'an, are just afraid of their unreasonableness. , It’s not that Kang Fu and Tian Zhi’an were terrible people. But for Qiu Huahe, many Danjie monks are really afraid of him, because this Qiu Huahe is narrow-minded, extremely deep-rooted, paranoid and sinister. If he is offended, it will be real. of trouble.
Normally, if the masters of two qi-refining disciples in the sect are brothers from the same sect, the relationship between the two people will naturally be closer than others, just like uncles and brothers in the world. However, Tang Ping heard Shangguan Hong's report. After entering the school, he instinctively became somewhat wary and wary of Shangguan Hong.
But of course you still have to work hard to save face.
"Ah! It's Senior Sister Shangguan. I'm going to salute Senior Sister. Speaking of which, I've been a disciple for several years and I haven't had a chance to salute Master Qiu yet."
Tang Ping looked very affectionate when she spoke.
However, Shangguan Hong was both scheming and discerning. After a quick glance, he realized that Tang Ping's current intimacy was just an act, and she didn't care. In Shangguan Hong's view, this Tang Ping was the leader of Shuiyun Valley's Yuling Gate. She has become a prominent figure. In fact, it is not her living at home that makes this girl famous! Now that he is back, he is about to do a few things to suppress this girl's limelight.
"You're welcome. Master, he often goes out when he has something to do. That's why I practice at home for a long time. That's why we sisters have never met each other. Oh, Xiu'er, come and pay respects to Senior Sister Tang Ping."
Then the little girl reluctantly bowed to Tang Ping, and then Tang Ping recognized that this girl was actually the girl who stared at him inexplicably in Ruixuan Town.
After a few more casual chats, Tang Ping excused herself to return to the sect and refused Cao Ze's proposal to go together, and then the three of them left.
Tang Ping was looking at the backs of the three people in the air, and Yanxuan on the side asked:
"Aping, what's wrong with you? You seem to dislike that Shangguan Hong?"
"Sister Yan, I'll talk to you in detail later. I can't explain it right now."
"Oh, by the way, I remembered that Cao Ze just now. We met him on the Star Reaching Tower."
"What's up with him?"
"Do you still remember that our Senior Sister Mei from Qixia Mountain is the same as Senior Sister Min?"
Tang Ping knew these gossips, and when she heard Yanxuan say this, her eyes immediately widened.
"What? Cao Ze is the person that Senior Sister Mei has been waiting for? Oh my god, why did he come out with Shangguan Hong again? They look very affectionate!"
"Oh, that's true. If that's the case, then Senior Brother Cheng may... In short, Senior Sister Min will be depressed again."
The corpses of the casual cultivators were piled together by Lu Pingchuan, and Qian Chao started a fire after using a "Wildfire Talisman".
"Boy Qian, should we continue outside or go back to the sect?" Tang Ping asked.
"Go back," Qian Chao thought for a moment and said, "I asked Cai Jian to help me inquire about some things. We made an appointment for a month, and the date is almost here. He will go find me. In addition, Ma Hu is also investigating some things. I also want to ask him when we go back. Let’s go back first and have peace of mind for a few days, and then come out again.”
Even with the map given by Bu Yannong, it would not be a day's work to return to the sect. At night, the five people still found a cave to stay. As usual, Qian Chao had to carefully arrange the "Hidden Spirit Array" there for defense. The monster outside.
It was here that the five of them discussed for the first time what the young man named Liu said that night. When Mr. Liu spoke, one of the five, Li Jian, completely let go of his senses. They were just worried that someone might be watching and eavesdropping nearby. After Liu left, the five of them decided not to talk about these things in Ruixuan Town until they left Ruixuan Town and found a quiet place. After all, there was a mixture of good and bad people here. , maybe there is a more powerful person spying on the five people, and the news may leak through the ears between the walls.
Then after dawn, the five of them followed the route drawn by Bu Yannong and returned to the sect.
…
Just as Qian Chao and the five others were rushing towards the sect, another thing happened outside the sect.
Because they are quite far apart, it is impossible for Qian Chao and the other five people to know.
It was noon, and a dozen people were resting at the foot of a mountain. The surroundings around them were in a mess, with fallen trees, broken rocks, and crisscrossing small ravines scratched out by big claws on the ground. A huge... The demonic beast was already dead, lying there stiffly, with many terrible wounds on its body oozing blood, which showed that the demonic beast had just died.
The dozen or so people were sitting on the gravel nearby. Some were panting and resting, some were still watching the monster, some were injured and were being treated and bandaged with the help of their companions, and some seemed to be injured. When I was tired, I took the jar and bottle in my hand and poured it into my mouth. One of them was sitting in the middle of the crowd, with sweat dripping from his head and a look of exhaustion on his face. There were people on both sides hurriedly shaking fans at him, while others were arranging wine bottles on the flat stones. A pot of wine and a glass of wine, he filled up the wine for that person and then tried to persuade him diligently.
"Senior Brother Zhang, I really didn't expect that we could really kill this guy. I was almost scared out of my mind by this thing at first!" One of these people has been circling the dead monster and looking at it. Now After seeing enough, he patted the dead beast and spoke to the person sitting in the middle with lingering fear.
"Bah, I have never seen in the world, what kind of monsters can't be conquered with Senior Brother Zhang? It's rare and strange!" Before Senior Brother Zhang could answer, one of those people answered.
Senior Brother Zhang, who was sitting in the middle holding the wine glass, smiled and drank the wine in one gulp, then pointed at the dead beast and cursed with a smile:
"You guys, look, a good piece of skin, if it were intact, could be sold for dozens of spiritual stones in the sect. Now it has been cut into almost pieces by you, and it can be regarded as smashed into your hands. But fortunately, this There must be a demon elixir in this guy's body, and if we sell it, we will be able to live comfortably."
"Hehe, I was so frightened when I started to use my hands. I only knew how to use ruthless and deadly force, but I didn't care about its skin..."
These people were talking and laughing when someone accidentally looked up and noticed a black spot in the sky coming towards them, getting closer and closer.
"Eh? Who is coming here?"
Everyone had just captured a monster beast. They were all a little nervous after hearing this. They thought someone was coming to snatch it. However, they were relieved after seeing that it was only one person. Moreover, when the person in the air got closer, below Some of these people recognized him.
"Hehe, isn't that Senior Brother Du whom everyone loves? Haha!"
After saying this, many people below also recognized the person coming.
"It is indeed him. What is this kid doing here?"
"Oh! Are they here to rob us?" someone said in an exaggerated way.
"Ha ha……"
One sentence made everyone laugh.
When the person came down, some of them immediately came up to meet them. They approached him and asked with disdain and curiosity:
"Hey, Dusha, what are you doing here!"
With a "swish" sound, a red arc of light passed over the questioner's neck and then disappeared in a flash.
The person who asked the question froze up all of a sudden. Under the gaze of everyone, they saw that the head seemed to shake a few times and then fell back. Some people with sharp eyes could clearly see the solidified blood on the fallen head. Horrified face!
Then there was a fountain-like blood spurting out from the hole in the neck. The corpse was shaking and about to fall, but the person who came grabbed the corpse on the chest of the robe and deliberately prevented him from falling. , until the hot blood spurting from his neck gradually subsided, then he pushed the corpse to the ground.
This man's sleeves were already stained with a lot of blood, as were his hands. He brought his bloody hands to his eyes and looked at them curiously, sniffed them, and then brought them to his mouth and stuck out his tongue to lick them, and then he said coldly Looking at the man sitting in the middle, he smiled and said:
"Senior Brother Zhang, you're fine!"
From the moment this man committed the murder, almost everyone was stunned. Although they woke up later, they were frightened by the blood spurting from the corpse. No one spoke or moved. After he asked, The man called Senior Brother Zhang was so angry that he smashed the wine glass in his hand, frowned and shouted:
"kill him!"
The fight broke out at the foot of the mountain. More than a dozen people surrounded and killed one person. The light of swords and fire suddenly lit up. Although it was daytime, it was extremely dazzling. When the fight got fierce, the foot of the mountain was filled with dust and rocks were everywhere. , from a distance, it looked like a dark cloud with lightning flashes. Amid the noisy shouts and curses, a thin voice suddenly shouted sharply:
"kill!"
Then, a scarlet flower bloomed at the foot of the mountain. The bright sword light was the petals of the flower. Like an epiphyllum, the flower disappeared in an instant, but it lingered in the air. The dust was covered with a dark fishy background, and from time to time a red light shone and a scream was heard.
Then a person rushed out from the dust. He was also a Qi Refining monk with Senior Brother Zhang. He flew out in a hurry, almost covered in blood. His face was earthy and horrified, and he couldn't help but look back. Look down.
Just when he looked back, he first saw the two red dots below, which were a pair of eyes!
"Senior Brother Du... have mercy on me!"
"When you turned your back on me, did you think we would be here today?"
"Ah!" There was a scream, and blood fell like rain from the air!
The dust at the foot of the mountain finally dissipated, and the man also fell down. He threw the head in his hand casually, and then walked up to a man who was still breathing. That man was none other than Senior Brother Zhang.
Senior Brother Zhang was severely injured on his chest. There were two open wounds on the front and back. All the blood in his body seemed to flow out from the wounds. He did not feel any pain at this time. He only felt that his whole body was weak and extremely weak. He knew that today would be difficult. He wanted to escape death, so he was no longer afraid. He stared at the person approaching, raised his arm with difficulty and stabbed him with his sword.
However, this sword was slow and deflected. The person who came caught him by the wrist and snatched the sword away. With a backhand sword, he pierced Senior Brother Zhang's belly, then let go and let go. The sword hilt swayed back and forth.
Senior Brother Zhang had another excruciating spasm of pain. He looked at the proud and pale face in front of him with trembling eyes, and said intermittently:
"You...you actually entered..."
"You didn't force me!" the fallen person said softly.
Then his eyes were attracted by the hilt of the sword. There was a small seal printed on the sword. After the man recognized that the seal was a small word "money", his expression became even colder. , glared at Senior Brother Zhang with some disgust, and casually thrust a finger into a wound on Senior Brother Zhang's chest!
"I want to ask you, Senior Brother Zhang, do you regret it later?"
Senior Brother Zhang was shaking violently, gasping for air, glaring at the person in front of him and saying:
"You...you're not afraid..."
"I'm not afraid!"
After saying that, the man grabbed almost his whole hand from the wound and crushed Senior Brother Zhang's heart in his chest!
…
Everything that happened at the foot of the mountain was clearly seen by the two people hiding at the top of the mountain.
Both of these people were dressed as disciples of the Five Spirits, and one of them was Wen Liang with gray hair and a smile on his face.
"How is it?" asked the person who stood with Wen Liang and watched the show.
"Well..." Although Wen Liang had a smile on his face, his tone seemed to still be dissatisfied with the person below him, "Is your cultivation a little worse?"
"It doesn't depend on his cultivation. Anyway, if you really want to use his words, his little cultivation can't be done at all. What I value is his ruthless character. This is an excellent material. You know? The best thing is that this kid actually came to the door, ha!"
"If cultivation is not an obstacle, then this person would be suitable."
"Okay, as long as your brother Wen nods, I will work hard on him later. By the way, how long does it take for you to take action? If it is shorter, I will start immediately, but I can't delay your work. "
"There are still a few months left. Although it's not too urgent, it's best to start right away."
"That's fine!"
…
Just like that, everyone left, leaving only a bloody mess.
After noon, the sun began to shift westward, and then the shadow became longer and the sun was blocked by the mountain peaks, making the foot of the mountain even colder. Then the night falls, and tonight is a day when the moon and stars are sparse.
The smell of blood here attracted nearby beasts of all sizes. Under the pale moonlight, pairs of eyes with shining eyes appeared nearby, and then they tentatively walked in, and then began to either eat on the spot or eat those things. The body was dragged away.
A beast bit a corpse on the leg, and then the corpse screamed in pain and woke up!
But even when he woke up, he was scared to death by what he saw. At least he still had some spiritual energy left, and the people who came to look for food nearby were only wild beasts, not monsters. After a few spells, they were all scared away.
The person who woke up also suffered from many serious injuries. He was lucky enough to survive, but fell into a coma due to blood loss and was bitten by a wild beast. However, whether he could save his life depends on whether he could struggle to return to the sect.
By the moonlight, he looked at the horrific corpses of his companions around him, especially Senior Brother Zhang, who had a big hole in his chest and his eyes were still round, as if he could not rest in peace.
This man took off the jade pendant from the corpse. He had to give an explanation when he returned, and then he flew up and headed towards the sect.
A few days later, another sensational news spread within the sect:
In Jiuxuan, a monk named Du Sha committed suicide and practiced sorcery. He fell into the devil's way. He held an evil sword in his hand and went out to kill many of his fellow disciples. The sect had sent several foundation-building monks to search for them. If anyone knows his hiding place, please report it to the sect as soon as possible!
