The people of the Wufeng Sword Sect were shocked by the arrogance in Gao Rong's words, and were speechless for a moment.
"you!!!"
The leader came back to his senses, his eyes almost ready to spit fire.
His robes moved without the wind, and his powerful spiritual energy wrapped around Qing Feng. On the opposite side, Gao Rong's smile was even deeper, sending chills down one's spine, and the dark red whip glowed with a deep blood.
The fellow disciples behind the two men all used their magic weapons to guard and intimidate the other party.
When the battle was about to break out, a heavy coercion emanated from Yu Xian's body, directly suppressing the two people's flapping spiritual energy.
Yu Xian put his hand on Gao Rong's shoulder, smiled and said to the people from the Wufeng Sword Sect: "Don't worry, I haven't figured out anything yet. What happened, who will tell me? "
Gao Rong glanced at the hand on his shoulder from the corner of his eye, the dark light in his eyes disappeared, and he did not answer. Seeing this, the leader of the Wufeng Sword Sect turned around and exchanged glances with several of his fellow disciples, as if discussing whether they should come forward to explain what happened.
At this moment, a trembling voice came out:
"...Fellow Taoist Mirror?"
Everyone looked at the sound.
A round figure poked out from behind the Taichu Temple disciples led by Gao Rong.
Jing Yingrong nodded to the other party: "Master He."
He Zongtao's face was filled with joy. He jumped out from behind and trotted to Jing Yingrong. Shu Pinghui, who was standing next to Jing Yingrong, made room for him.
"I didn't expect to meet you, fellow Daoist Jing, here. We are destined to be together."
Perhaps because he finally met an acquaintance, He Zongtao seemed to feel relieved.
Gao Rong's gaze shifted from He Zongtao to Jing Yingrong, looking her up and down with a hint of inquiry.
Yu Xian: "Who is this?"
He Zongtao introduced himself and then asked Yu Xian, "Is Shen Pei your Taoist companion?"
Yu Xian raised an eyebrow: "Do you know my Pei'er?"
He Zongtao: "I can't say we are acquaintances. We met once before. The master of the palace wanted to poach... He persuaded Fellow Daoist Shen to come to our sect, but he didn't agree."
The corner of Yu Xian's mouth twitched: "Master Qian has good vision. He is trying to poach my head... Ha. Oh, by the way, Fellow Daoist He, why are you here?"
He Zongtao's eyes flickered between the Wufeng Sword Sect and Taichu Guan gangs. He hesitated for a moment and said, "Oh, let me tell the story from the beginning. The reason why this happened is mainly because of me."
He Zongtao immediately told the whole story. What surprised Yu Xian and the others was that this matter was actually related to Gu Yingxi.
When Gu Yingxi went to the area under the jurisdiction of the Heart-Destroying Palace, he found a local specialty material. He speculated that it could be used in the development of certain types of cosmetics, so he informed He Zongtao, who had a good relationship with him. He Zongtao came over after hearing the news. Not long after he arrived, the area under his jurisdiction was occupied by the monsters led by the Phantom Beast Emperor. He happened to be with Gu Yingxi at the time. While the Phantom Beast Emperor captured Gu Yingxi, he conveniently He caught it too.
Later, Gu Yingxi seemed to have reached some kind of agreement with the Phantom Beast Emperor, and the Phantom Beast Emperor agreed to let He Zongtao go. After He Zongtao left the jurisdiction, he met several casual cultivators. After learning that the place where those people were going was on the way to the mountain gate of Shijue Mansion, he went with them. However, not long after traveling, they encountered a group of monsters.
Just when He Zongtao and the few casual cultivators were struggling to resist the monsters and their lives were hanging by a thread, Gao Rong arrived with his men and killed most of the monsters with overwhelming force. Among the remaining monsters, the one with the highest cultivation level was quite intelligent. Seeing that it was outmatched, it took He Zongtao and several casual cultivators as hostages and expressed its intention to ask Gao Rong and others to let it live.
The monsters never expected that Gao Rong would kill two of the casual cultivators without saying a word, and at the same time kill all the remaining monsters in the stunned state. Later, Taichu Guanfang ignored the living casual cultivators and directly took He Zongtao away.
On the way, He Zongtao learned from one of the Taichu Temple disciples that they were ordered by their master to come to the area under their jurisdiction to look for members of the Shijue Mansion. If they were found, they must do their best to save their lives.
After that, the people from the Wufeng Sword Sect suddenly caught up from behind, stopped Gao Rong and others, and asked Gao Rong why he wanted to kill the two innocent cultivators. It turned out that after Gao Rong and the others left, this group of people happened to pass by there and were attracted by the corpses everywhere. Then they met the surviving casual cultivators and learned what Gao Rong had done. They were so angry that they caught up with Gao Rong and asked for an explanation.
Gao Rong didn't pay attention to the people of Wufeng Sword Sect at all, and the other disciples of Taichu Guan refused to give in, so the two sides clashed.
At first, the two groups of people refrained from taking action and just argued verbally, until one of the disciples of the Wufeng Sword Sect said: "You can be a direct disciple of people like you. I think your Taichu view is so bad that it cannot be saved." Got it!"
As soon as these words came out, Gao Rong suddenly rose up and killed the disciple on the spot before everyone could react.
Including the other disciples of Taichu Guan, no one expected that things would evolve to this point. The leader of the Wufeng Sword Sect was the first to come to his senses and immediately engaged Gao Rong.
The two were of equal cultivation and equal in strength, and they fought for a long time without a winner. Seeing that the group of fellow disciples he led were about to lose their control and start fighting, and it was about to develop into a melee, the two of them stopped. This was the battle that Yu Xian and others saw on the flying gourd just now.
After He Zongtao told what happened, no one from the Wufeng Sword Sect or Gao Rong spoke out to refute, which proved that he had no concealment or partiality.
Yu Xian was silent, as if thinking, his eyes dim and unclear. He Zongtao said to Jing Yingrong in a depressed tone: "Those two people were actually implicated by me. If I had known, I wouldn't have left with them."
Jing Yingrong: "If you didn't go with them, either they would all die, or you would die."
He Zongtao was stunned: "Why is this?"
Jing Yingrong: "Because your routes are the same, one of you will always encounter the group of monsters. If you encounter the monsters alone, you won't be able to support the arrival of Gao Rong; if they encounter the monsters, Gao Rong will not take action."
He Zongtao was stunned, his expression a bit complicated.
Jing Yingrong: "Because of your joining, some of them survived."
He Zongtao's expression became more complicated.
Shu Pinghui and others who heard Jing Yingrong's words nearby also had a slightly subtle expression.
Shu Pinghui whispered: "I think what Rong Rong said is reasonable. The main problem is that Senior Sister Gao obviously didn't have to kill those two people at that time, right? But judging from Senior Sister Gao's temperament... she would agree to let those monsters go. strangeness."
Huo Xiumao: "If the person being taken as a hostage is our disciple, Senior Sister Gao will agree."
Wu Yaochen said: "Senior Sister Gao and the others were ordered to search for and protect the disciples of the Shijue Mansion. According to my speculation, the news sent back by Gu Yingxi should have mentioned the matter of congratulations to fellow Taoist. After the sect received the request for help from the Shijue Mansion, they will It was split into two tasks: they find people, and we rescue people."
Shu Pinghui: "Ah, speaking of this, I'm very curious, what did Gu Yingxi do to make the Phantom Beast Emperor agree to let He Daoyou go?"
Jing Yingrong: "Dedicate yourself?"
other people:"……"
He Zongtao covered his face and said, "Lao Gu, I'm sorry for you."
