Looking at this person's face, Zhao Chun had never seen him before, so she shook her head slightly and remained silent for a while, not agreeing to the words.
Wu Murong didn't feel anything strange, as if the previous words were just a joke, then he took two steps forward, his tone became a little more relaxed, and said: "I accepted the reward in the city three days ago, and I just learned from Taoist Fellow Ma that the reward has been There is a sword cultivator from the Ten Thousand Swords Alliance who is willing to take action.
"I don't want to force you, Taoist Fellow Ma. But before that, I accepted the reward from the Liu family of Xiaozhu Valley, which also included the killing of the yellow-bearded rat demon. The two purposes were the same, so I found Get on the horse and come, fellow Taoist.
"The Liu family in Xiaozhu Valley only has one True Infant Stage cultivator, and his strength can only be considered mediocre. The bounty offered to the yellow-bearded rat demon must be looked down upon by fellow Taoist Zhao. Today I am here to talk to you. As soon as Fellow Taoist saw it, I wanted to work together with Fellow Daoist to kill this monster and take the Liu family's share of the bounty. As for Fellow Daoist Ma's bounty, I won't take any of it, all of it belongs to Fellow Daoist Zhao."
After she finished speaking, Wu Murong turned her eyes, but saw that Zhao Shun had not said a word, looking attentively thinking and weighing the pros and cons, so she frowned slightly and said:
"Do you think, fellow Taoist, that you alone can kill the rat demon, so you don't need to go with me?"
She relaxed her brows and smiled, without any anger on her face, then nodded and said: "That's natural, fellow Taoist, you possess sword intent, and your background is by no means comparable to that of other casual cultivators, but as far as I know , there was also a Dharmakaya True Infant who died under the claws of the rat demon. Such a monster cannot be easily dealt with. How about this, I go to kill the demon this time. If my fellow Taoist contributes more, I will—— "
"Can."
Zhao Chun stood up abruptly, and since he was slightly taller than Wu Murong, he told Wu Murong that he could just see those unruffled eyes.
"I only kill monsters, you can take the rest of the bounty."
When their eyes met, Wu Murong's thoughts were blocked, and then the blood in his body became cold, as if he was facing a gust of cold wind, which was terrifying.
He is quite an unruly person.
Wu Murong muttered secretly and curled his lips.
…
Xiaozhu Valley, the ancestral residence of the Liu family.
Under the two glazed archways at the front and back, there are many male and female monks walking through them. Because they are members of the same family cultivator, these monks are either blood relatives or marriage relatives. They always look somewhat similar, and even their auras are roughly the same. , only different in strength and weakness.
Since their ancestors moved here, the Liu family has taken root and multiplied in Xiaozhu Valley for nearly a thousand years. The ancestors of the true infants have been enthroned. The one who is still in the family today is a young monk who has broken through this realm less than two hundred years ago. From now on, even if they stop being true babies, they will at least have more than a thousand years to live. It will not be difficult to grow the Liu family and cultivate the next true baby to succeed them.
However, the faces of the descendants of the Liu family today are full of bitterness and hatred, and even the entire ancestral home is shrouded in an invisible haze.
This is precisely because three years ago, under the Tan Cave in the north of Xiaozhu Valley, a yellow-bearded rat demon with a history of more than a thousand years came!
It is said that it is a thousand-year-old Taoist practice, but after several battles, the current ancestor of the Liu family, Liu Guan, felt that this demonic Taoist practice has been at least fifteen or six hundred years old, and it is as cunning and cunning as humans. Elusive, even harder to kill!
If the Liu family's former ancestor, Master Zhenying, who had cultivated the Dharmakaya, was here, the Liu family would not have been forced into such a situation by a rat demon. It is a pity that the person in charge of the clan now is Liu Guan, a The young True Infant is still in the stage of external refining, and no matter in terms of spells or foundation, he is completely incomparable to his ancestors!
"In just three years, more than half of the elixir in the valley has been eaten by the yellow-bearded rat demon. Now we still don't know what happened to the mineral veins in the mountain! You know, the ancestors used a technique to control people. It was discovered that there are large mineral veins hidden in Xiaozhu Valley, and there are roots of vegetation buried underground, which are very suitable for the growth of elixirs, so we decided to move our clan here.
"If the mineral veins are destroyed and the roots of the ground are chewed up by the monster, even if the rat monster can be killed, our clan will have to discuss moving away from this place!"
The beard on Liu Guan's lips rose up, and he kept trembling with his high-pitched tone. Finally, when he saw him slap the tea table beside him with a heavy palm, his energy suddenly shook, and the tea table turned into fly ash, causing everyone in the room to tremble. , like rain hitting plantains, everyone bent down.
When they saw that the ancestor's breath gradually subsided, and saw that he was relieved, someone stepped forward, with a faint hopeful tone, and said: "Ancestor, don't worry, a message was sent yesterday, and someone in Daoding Immortal City accepted the reward. , I think it will be here in the afternoon today, and the yellow-bearded rat demon will not be arrogant for long, and he will definitely be defeated this time."
After Liu Guan heard this, before he had time to relax his brows, he heard another worried voice:
"But there have been people who came to Dingxian City before, but they couldn't give that monster away..."
The man's voice became quieter and weaker, but everyone in the room could understand the meaning behind his words. Not only did those True Infant monks fail to slay the yellow-bearded rat demon, but they also turned into blood food in the monster's belly. Liu Guan felt chills down his spine just thinking about it!
"So what!" Immediately, another voice scolded the man just now, "Even if we can't kill this monster, we must at least drive it out of Xiaozhu Valley. Otherwise, what will happen to the ancestors of our clan? How can we let it live in this place?" In the hands of a monster?"
"Of course I understand this truth. I also thought that if the true infant in Dingxian City cannot kill this monster, it would be better to go to -"
"Okay!" Liu Guan interrupted the words sternly, glanced down, couldn't help but raise his hand and pinched the center of his brow, and said in a deep tone, "Since someone has already arrived over there, go and tell the people below to prepare for the reception. . It would be best if the people who come back can kill the monsters. If not... then let’s see."
The people sitting down just responded and didn't dare to disagree.
Because he is the only True Infant cultivator in the clan, Liu Guan has accumulated great prestige over the past two hundred years. Not long after the order was first issued, his subordinates were ready to take care of the newcomer.
As mentioned in the biography, about two moments later in the afternoon, three figures were seen skimming into the Xiaozhu Valley from the horizon. When Liu Guan saw this, he immediately came out to greet them personally and welcomed the three people into the mansion. His face was full of smiles, but he could not see the anger from before.
There were people drinking and drinking at the table, but it was not obvious that the Liu family was in the predicament of being infested by rat demons. Seeing that Ma Wenping was having a lively conversation with the ancestor of the Liu family, Zhao Chun simply remained silent, waiting for Liu Guan to bring up the matter of slaying the demons.
Knowing that among the group of people, Wu Murong was born in the Jiuzhen Sect, Liu Guan's eyes brightened, and he praised Wu Murong repeatedly as a disciple of the sect, and he would definitely kill the rat monster this time. When it came to Zhao Chun, he only heard the latter give his name. When he learned from Ma Wenping that Zhao Chun was a member of the Ten Thousand Swords Alliance, a trace of stiffness flashed across Liu Guan's face.
He was being looked into by Zhao Shun. (End of chapter)
