Above the endless desert, An Xiaoran and two junior sisters each rode a wooden kite and flew through the air close to the ground.
This simple mechanism has become a favorite means of transportation for many disciples in the Taiyi Sect because it is light and easy to use.
The treasury in the sect has already replenished the wooden kites twice, but they are still almost all redeemed by the disciples.
By consuming only a small amount of spiritual stones, the wooden kite can fly up to the sky with the cultivator, allowing the cultivator in the Qi refining period to enjoy the feeling of soaring in the sky in advance.
This is the territory of Taiyi Gate close to Qiaoshou Gate.
The territory of Qiaoshoumen originally belonged to Jindaomen and happened to border the Yaofeng Gobi.
Because they were worried that a large number of monsters would rush out of the Yaofeng Desert, the Qiaoshou Sect stationed a strong force on that territory and established a tight defense line.
For the sake of caution, Taiyimen has also stepped up patrols in this direction.
Almost every day, several teams of patrolling disciples would pass by this place to check for anything unusual.
In these years, there have been no large groups of monsters rushing out of Yaofeng Gobi. Although the Feihong Sect reminded him several times, many cultivators regarded it as a story about the crying wolf and ignored it.
However, within the territory of Taiyi Sect, including the surrounding areas, there are some monsters appearing from time to time.
Although the endless sand sea is barren, the monster beasts have never been cut off, but their numbers are just few.
In fact, the powerful vitality of monsters is more adaptable to the environment here than humans.
The reason why the human race in the endless sand sea can survive here depends entirely on the protection of cultivators.
In recent times, there has been no movement in the Demon Wind Gobi. However, there have been reports of attacks by demonic beasts near various oases.
There are not many of these monsters, and their strength is mediocre.
Meng Zhang also specifically inquired about the territories of the surrounding sects such as the Dihuo Sect, Qiaoshou Sect, and Tuxing Sect. The number of wild monsters has increased significantly, and they have been harassing human settlements from time to time.
Meng Zhang also specially sent people to investigate, but he still couldn't figure out the reason.
Although the number of monsters has increased inexplicably, it is still within a controllable range.
Even the appearance of these monsters is a good thing.
Firstly, it provides the disciples with practical combat opportunities, and secondly, many monsters are full of treasures, and monster materials are considered an important cultivation resource.
As a result, various sects, including Taiyi Sect, sent their disciples to hunt and kill these monsters.
As a disciple of the master Meng Zhang, An Xiaoran has not embarrassed his master. He has been under the disciple for a short time, but he has already reached the fifth level of Qi refining.
She and two junior sisters formed a patrol team, and she served as the captain of this patrol team.
During these days, this patrol team not only completed the assigned patrol tasks outstandingly. During the patrol, I was lucky enough to encounter a few low-level monsters.
Although An Xiaoran is a girl, she is not afraid of blood at all. She led two junior sisters to join forces and kill the monster. After disposing of the corpse of the monster, I made a little fortune.
The battle just now made the three girls very excited, and they have not calmed down yet.
They were riding on the wooden kite, making noisy noises.
An Xiaoran said proudly: "Although the wooden kite can fly, it is a dead thing after all. When we have raised enough good deeds, we might as well exchange it for a red-feathered eagle. Riding a living red-feathered eagle is better than riding a rigid wooden kite." Kite is much stronger."
An Xiaoran's words attracted echoes from the two junior sisters.
At this moment, two figures quickly descended from the sky.
The three Taiyi Sect female disciples who were riding on the wooden kite were all captured before they could react.
Regardless of their status, the monk in the foundation-building stage pulled his old face and attacked in a sneak attack. The three minor cultivators in the Qi-refining stage were unable to react in time, let alone resist.
An Xiaoran was captured and taken away by one of them, while the other two female disciples collapsed to the ground helplessly.
The two figures each wore a white mask on their faces, making it impossible to see their true faces.
One of them threw out a letter.
"Give this letter to your leader. Tell him that if you want to get your female disciple back, you'd better follow the instructions in the letter."
The two masked men soared into the sky and quickly disappeared into the sky.
Shortly after the two masked men disappeared, the two female disciples of the Taiyi Sect quickly regained their ability to move.
The leader's second disciple being kidnapped was not a trivial matter, and it was definitely not something they could handle.
A female disciple took out a messenger flying talisman and released it immediately.
Soon after, groups of Taiyi Sect disciples arrived here one after another, either riding wooden kites, or riding mounts such as cranes and red-feathered eagles.
After listening to the events described by the two female disciples, everyone felt that the matter was difficult.
As a result, everyone continued to send out signals for help and requested reinforcements from the rear.
The person who kidnapped An Xiaoran was a monk in the foundation building stage, and they were not something they could handle.
After about half an hour, the reinforcements from the Taiyi Sect had not arrived yet, and the experts from the Qiaoshou Sect arrived first.
Ever since the Feihong Sect issued the warning, the foundation-building monks from the Qiaoshou Sect have taken turns to sit in the territory bordering Yaofeng Gobi.
Recently, it happened to be Jin Qiaoer's turn to take charge here.
She was originally at the mountain gate of the Golden Knife Gate. When she received the news of the trouble at Taiyi Gate, she rushed over immediately.
After arriving at the scene of the incident, as the only foundation-building monk present, she naturally became the person in charge.
She took the letter from the female disciple and did not open it rashly. After she carefully inquired about what happened, a few people were left here, and the rest were dismissed by her.
When facing the foundation-building monks, a group of Qi-refining monks couldn't play much role, and instead distracted her from taking care of her.
Qiaoshou Sect and Taiyi Sect were close allies, and Jin Qiaoer was favored by Meng Zhang. When something like this happened, she stepped forward without hesitation.
But the two monks who abducted An Xiaoran did not leave any clues, and now they have disappeared without a trace.
Jin Qiaoer searched hard nearby for a long time, but found nothing.
By the time Jin Qiaoer completed his last search, Meng Zhang, the head of Taiyi Sect, had also arrived.
Meng Zhang's face was very gloomy. After receiving the news, he rushed here as soon as possible.
Not seeing each other for many years, Jin Qiaoer has grown into a big girl.
Especially after the foundation was established, all the original youthfulness disappeared, and she was already a mature and stable female monk.
The matter was urgent, Jin Qiaoer did not bother to reminisce with Meng Zhang, and directly told the story of the incident, and handed the letter to him at the same time.
There are no clues in the letter that can be traced. It is just a letter that can be easily found among mortals.
The content of the letter asked Meng Zhang to take 30,000 low-grade spiritual stones and go to a valley near Huojingfang City alone in three days.
At that time, when Meng Zhang arrived there, he handed over the money and delivered the goods, exchanging the spirit stones for An Xiaoran.
If Meng Zhang doesn't obey the order, then he will wait to collect An Xiaoran's body.
After reading the letter, Meng Zhang sneered again and again. He did not hide it from Jin Qiaoer and showed her the contents of the letter.
