The man in black came to Xingyue Pool alone, and the soldiers who followed him had been killed in the pursuit last night.
He regretted it very much at this moment. If Liu Zong had been informed before the siege, a master of the Xuanjing would be in charge, and he would be sure to win.
Now that he was alone, it was impossible to get out of the city, so he had to make a desperate move. If he killed the fugitive, the master would not treat his family badly.
He found out that the old man of the Bao family went out the day before yesterday, and there was no one in charge, so he didn't dare to come to the door. He also heard that Xingyue Pool was managed by Mr. Bao’s son and that he was a capable person, so he went to look for it.
Not wanting to meet someone from the government office on the way, he quickly hid, thinking that these government officials were chasing him.
He was found in the street with no way to escape.
A young man in brocade clothes suddenly appeared in front of him, and the powerful pressure of the strong Qi enveloped him. This young man gave him the feeling that he was a master of the Mysterious Realm just like Liu Zong.
"What's your surname, sir?"
"Horse stone."
"Oh, it turns out to be Mr. Ma, I'm sorry." The young man cupped his hands and said, "Excuse me, the Bao Ce you are looking for is my father."
Ma Shi didn't expect the Bao family to be so well-informed. He just asked about Mr. Bao and was approached. Such forces could really save his own life. He quickly called for help: "Master Bao, please help me."
"That's natural. Lord Ma can rest assured that I'm here." Then he waved to a few servants to stop the government servants who came to investigate.
Seeing the Yamen servant leaving in the distance, Ma Shi finally breathed a sigh of relief and turned around to thank Bao Ce.
"Come here, please change your lordship into clean clothes. Your lordship is a distinguished guest from Heaven. You must treat him well."
"Tomorrow is the grand event of my Da Mian Lake. I will definitely invite adults to visit then."
Bao Ce quickly held him up, not giving Ma Shi a chance to object, and ordered his servants to take Ma Shi back.
Seeing the person walking away, Bao Ce said to himself:
"Haha, I came just in time. The people from Tianfu have such a great reputation, which is enough to explain."
Xingyue Pond has been managed by Bao Ce's family since he could remember. He has cultivated in the Xuan Realm at a young age, which is also the blessing of this position. When he was young, he often secretly practiced here every day, and this was how he quickly formed the inner elixir.
Damianhu is located in a remote area, and only five or six families among the local forces have the Xuanjing to sit in command. With one sect and dual Xuanjing, the Bao family has become the most prestigious family in Damianhu.
So Bao Ce not only inherited the responsibility of looking after Xingyue Pool, but also passed on the family's fine traditions. Now his son also practices in Xingyue Pool every day.
But last month, something unknown suddenly fell into the lake. Only his son was present at the time. He only heard a loud noise, but no trace of anything was found. In order to keep the secret, the other guards had already been sent out by him. If something like this happened, he could not make it public. He could only investigate it personally, but found nothing.
Bao Ce obviously found that the power of the stars in the water was much thinner, and he did not dare to let his son continue to practice in it.
I'm afraid there's going to be a change here. Maybe Xingyue Pool itself has undergone a change and lost its power.
It could also be that someone is plotting secretly to frame the Bao family.
I originally wanted to find a reason to excuse the situation, but now a scapegoat from Tianfu has come. If anything changes in Xingyue Pool, I will kill this person and put the matter on him as an explanation. If nothing goes wrong, he has gained access to Tianfu, and may be able to obtain some precious elixirs, allowing him and his father to reach a higher level, and it may not be impossible to become a master of the Moon Watching Realm.
If the matter is exposed, they are not afraid. They have already transferred part of their property and fled to the Demon Kingdom, so that they can find more advanced cultivation methods.
After Na Ma Shi changed his clothes, he sent his servant over and said he had something important to meet, interrupting Bao Ce's thoughts.
When he arrived in the hall, Ma Shi complimented him: "Master Bao, my master is the inspector of Tianfu. He has a distinguished status. He appreciates young talents like you most. When you come to Tianfu in the future, you will definitely have a place."
He was a servant with a good reputation and directly promised a future, but this was not the case for a country bumpkin in a remote area.
Bao Ce looked surprised. The inspector of Tianfu was shocked by his name.
"Your Excellency, you are very complimentary. Please take care of me in the future. I believe that your Majesty, the Inspector, must have something that requires my service."
Seeing that he had taken the bait, Ma Shi said straight to the point:
"My master has the son of an old friend, and he wants us servants to help him find and take care of him."
"I already know through inquiring that she is about to sneak into Xingyue Pool. She has already heard about Xingyue Pool's strangeness and wants to give it a try."
"I also hope that Master Bao will help my master fulfill this long-cherished wish. After the grand party, don't let her continue wandering around."
Bao Ce is just looking for someone. It is not difficult for the Bao family, so they must agree to him first.
"That's natural. The inspector's business is my business."
"However, my lord just said that a 'person' entered the Xingyue Pond?"
"To be honest, sir, this Xingyue Pond is a place where fairies of our generation use to assist in their transformation training. People don't know what will happen if they go in."
"It's better to stop her before entering Xingyue Pond."
Ma Shi became nervous when he heard this. He really didn't want to tell the truth. If the secret was known to outsiders, it would be very detrimental to the master, so he made up a reason.
"Little girls are curious about everything, so let her play."
Bao Ce naturally knew what effect Xingyue Pool would have on people, but he didn't say it clearly. He saw that Ma Shi was stumbling when he spoke, and there was no concern in his tone. It didn't seem like they had a close relationship.
She is still a little girl, so you should pay attention tomorrow.
"This lady is really naughty, hahaha." Bao Ce responded casually.
…
Liu Zong broke camp and retreated in the middle of the night, heading south until noon, when the sun was shining brightly in the sky, he had to stop and come to a shady place to rest his team.
This place is more than two hundred miles away from Damian Lake. Logically speaking, the ambush team should have encountered them long ago.
But something was wrong. Da Mianhu's team didn't seem to be in a hurry to attack, but stayed behind them, seeming to be driving Liu Zong forward.
Among the chasing team, the flat-headed old man Bao Ying looked anxious.
He originally did not want to have a direct conflict with Tianfu, so when Liu Zong entered the ambush site, he delayed the fight with a group of shopkeepers, causing Yingbai to miss the best opportunity to attack.
Baoying thought everything would be fine, but when the time came for Tianfu to blame him, Beihuang Hou and Wu Sikou stepped in to take the blame. Not only would they not be able to bear much punishment, but after this incident, there would be a certain amount of influence that would infiltrate the Damianhu government.
But how did he know that Liu Zong did not dare to retaliate after returning, and the so-called crisis was simply a lie. The inspector is just a sinecure. Although his status and power are difficult, he cannot represent the entire Tianfu and cannot help the real masters of Damian Lake.
Ying Bai was not angry about the failed ambush, but he couldn't explain it to the Marquis just because he went back, so he led the team and continued to pursue. When he got close, he sent out several shopkeepers to attack and harass him.
Most of the people in the team were just pretending, and the rest didn't dare to do anything different in this situation.
By noon, all the shopkeepers had basically shown their faces in front of Liu Zong.
At this time, Liu Zong was no longer afraid and determined that Da Mianhu was only driving him away and would not kill everyone.
Yingbo couldn't accept this result, so he personally led the attack this time.
Liu Zong looked at the tall and thin man in front of him. He was ordinary. He must not be an expert. The shopkeepers behind him were all met at the banquet. They stayed far away, obviously not wanting to make any effort.
No matter how strong Ying Bai is, an army battle formation led by a profound master can still make him suffer.
If it doesn't work, Bao Ying and other shopkeepers can step forward to help and let Ying Bai and Liu Zong die together. This solves the crisis and makes Beihuang Hou lose an arm.
Ying Bai didn't seem to be aware of the strange atmosphere. He still felt that he had the upper hand and wanted to kill Liu Zong and others.
The soldiers of Tianfu were murderous, and Liu Zong also saw that the leader on the opposite side was isolated. If he killed him, perhaps no one would continue to pursue him.
The soldiers' true energy merged into one, led by Liu Zong. At this time, his strength was several times stronger than usual, and he was confident that he could fight with the top Xuanjing masters.
Ying Bai looked at the battle formation in front of him and didn't care. He just turned around blankly. In an instant, the air around him suddenly became stagnant.
Liu Zong looked at the flawless figure in front of him, but the knife in his hand couldn't cut it. A thought came to his mind, this knife would never touch the opponent.
Unwilling to accept it, he led all the soldiers to slash with their swords. The powerful Qi disrupted the surrounding airflow, as if it was about to split the earth into two halves. However, it was deflected by the sudden appearance of the cyclone beside Yingbai, and he was only in front of him. A big hole was made, and the soil was splashed everywhere, reflecting the ashen-faced soldiers.
Ying Bai ignored the battle formation behind him, his face was gloomy, his true energy was as boundless as the vast sky, no one's body could withstand this level of true energy. Only communication between heaven and earth can generate such great energy.
He is in the moon-watching realm!
All the shopkeepers trembled under Ying Bai's gaze. They had thought of fighting with Beihuang Hou. How naive they were.
"Seniors in the Wangyue Realm cannot participate in the secular affairs of Da Mian Lake. If you take action rashly, aren't you afraid that other seniors will punish you?"
Leopard should be worthy of being the president, and he could still remain calm in this situation.
"I am the guard of the Marquis and have nothing to do with you Da Mianhu. I don't think the Marquis will be satisfied with what you did before. But you still have a chance. Behave better. The Marquis is too generous. Pursued.”
Under this situation, the shopkeepers naturally did not dare to have any objections and rushed towards the enemy in front of them.
Ying Bai also took the opportunity to take action. He stretched out his palm towards Liu Zong, and a suction force appeared out of thin air. He was so frightened that Liu Zong left his team and ran away alone.
Since he decided to take action, he naturally couldn't leave anyone alive, so Bao Ying led several shopkeepers and chased after him.
The remaining soldiers resisted desperately, and for a while they were bombarded with various magic weapons and spells. Unfortunately, most of them were foundation-building monks, and without the generals holding the battle, they were all killed and wounded very quickly.
Liu Zong fled all the way and crossed the mountains. This place was already very close to the town. When the time came to enter the city, Yingbai would not dare to continue the pursuit no matter how bold he was.
Bao Ying didn't want to let him go. He held a bunch of copper coins in his hand and threw them out. The coins turned into light and quickly approached the enemy. Liu Zong had no choice but to turn around to resist, and his speed was immediately delayed.
I saw him pull out his saber, wrap his head around his head with one move, and knock away the copper coins around him. Then the sword light flashed, and a series of knife marks appeared in front of Baoying. The two monster shopkeepers beside him worked together to attack the knife. Block.
Bao Ying took this opportunity and quickly took out his magic weapon. It was still a copper coin, but the golden light on it was so bright that it was not dazzling. He threw the copper coin into the air, and it suddenly grew bigger, three feet in size, like a millstone. The golden light flashes on it, and it seems to have the power to restrict people's movements.
Liu Zong no longer took any chances, took out a life-threatening gas pill and swallowed it. His true energy surged instantly, and he could barely match the effect of the battle formation just by himself. His clothes were exploded by the true energy, and the scales on his body were stretched but still connected together, forming a true energy composition outside his body. The scaly giant.
He held the copper coin with both hands. The copper coin was quite heavy, and the giant's knees instantly sank into the ground. Then Liu Zong gave a loud shout, used force, broke free from the shackles of the golden light, and tipped the copper coin aside.
Just as he was about to continue escaping, he was taken away by a shadow and left instantly. When he landed, he was already two hills away. Liu Zong was stunned for a moment, knelt on the ground and kowtowed, turned around and fled.
Bao Ying was anxious and didn't want to let Liu Zong go. He stretched out his hand and threw out the copper coin dart, attacking Liu Zong. The phantom stretched out its claws, shattered the copper coin, and hit Bao Ying. The space in front of him was distorted. , as if trying to make a hole in the world, frightening several old monsters so much that they did not dare to breathe and even forgot to escape.
Ying Bai in the distance seemed to sense something, and his body transformed with the wind, turning into a gust of wind. He crossed the mountains and rivers in an instant and came to Bao Ying. With a flick of his sleeves, the strong wind blew, turning his virtual claws invisible.
The two faced off for a while and then retreated.
Bao Ying and others quickly thanked Ying Bai for the rescue, but did not notice a shadow flashing on the ring on Ying Bai's finger.
Obviously, he let Liu Zong go on purpose.
