Liu Yunshu's side killed the last late-stage bone-forging monster, and the three of them on Li Qingfeng's side also worked together to rescue Zhang Pengyi and another Zhang family disciple.
That Zhang family kid is called Zhang Yiming, a descendant of Zhang Pengyi. He is twenty-two years old and is at the fourth level of Qi training. When Li Qingfeng rescued him, he was being attacked by a monster bird in the early stage of bone forging that broke his defensive spell, and he was just about to be grabbed by the monster's neck. Fortunately, Li Qingfeng arrived in time and rescued him.
Zhang Yipeng's eyes were about to burst, and he saw that his family members were about to die in front of him, but he was saved by Li Qingfeng. He breathed a sigh of relief, quickly went to protect his family members, and raised his hand to Li Qingfeng, saying: "Thank you, fellow Daoist Li, for my Zhang family will definitely have a retribution from now on." After saying that, he freed up his hands to support other monks.
For a moment, four monks who were in the late stage of Qi training were vacated on the entire battlefield, and the stalemate on the battlefield was suddenly broken. With their support, the morale of the monks was immediately boosted, and they quickly cleared away the demon birds on the field. Only a few demon birds on the edge were left, seeing that something was wrong, they quickly fled.
Two Jindingmen monks who came for reinforcements wanted to pursue them, but Liu Yunshu called them to stop them. But the two people didn't seem to buy Liu Yunshu's blame. They argued with Yao Ziyi and others who came up, walked aside angrily, and finally did not pursue them.
Next, under the command of Liu Yunshu, everyone began to gather the wounded and collect materials from the dead monsters. Worried that there would be new late-stage bone-forging demonic beasts coming, everyone just collected some of the more precious parts of the demonic beasts. They finished cleaning them up in about a quarter of an hour, and simply formed a circular formation to retreat.
During the retreat, several Jindingmen monks who came to support gathered together, and Chen Hao was among them, obviously keeping a little distance from Liu Yunshu and others in front. Liu Yunshu and his group flying in front didn't seem surprised by this. A group of people flew in front, making the entire circle longer and flatter, like an upside-down goose egg.
When Li Qingfeng looked over, he saw Yao Ziyi talking to Zhuang Zhixue with an unswerving expression. When he turned around, he saw Chen Hao and the other two people whispering to each other, and their faces didn't look good. Luo Yi was hanging alone behind Chen Hao and the others, his head lowered and silent. Li Qingfeng scanned back and forth, but didn't see Junior Brother Wang, so he just guessed that he was probably dead.
He flew to Zhang Pengyi's side, looked at Liu Yunshu and others, then looked at Chen Hao and others, transmitted the message and asked: "Zhang Daoyou, I think there seems to be some alienation between the front and back sects of Jinding Sect. Do you know?" reason?"
Zhang Pengyi had just killed two of his clan members and looked a little tired, but when he heard Li Qingfeng's question, he raised his eyebrows. He looked back and forth, made a sign with his hand, pointed to the sky with his index finger, and said through the message: "Friend Daoist Li, don't ask any more questions. Just know that 'there are two days in the sky'. This is his Golden Cauldron Sect." It’s better for us not to get too involved in the internal affairs.”
There are two days in the sky? Li Qingfeng was stunned for a moment, and then he figured out that it was probably the struggle for power in the sect. His face did not change, but there was a hint of disgust in his eyes. He had seen too many factional struggles within various sects in his previous life, and had no favorable impression of this kind of thing. Seeing that Zhang Pengyi didn't seem to want to say more for the time being, he sent a message: "Thank you, fellow Taoist Zhang, I understand." He said goodbye and flew back. own original position.
There are two days in the sky, do the two veins compete?
Zhang Pengyi's words ran through Li Qingfeng's mind. Although he did not clearly say who was stronger and who was weaker, Li Qingfeng was not blind. Chen Hao and other monks were only in the middle stage of Qi training, but they dared not to blame the monks in the later stage of Qi training, which one was strong and which one was weak. You can tell at a glance.
It seems that before figuring out the specific details, it is better not to get too close to anyone. Zhang Pengyi has a saying that is right. This kind of thing is the internal affairs of the Jinding Sect. It is better for them, little fish and shrimps, not to get involved too much. as well.
...
It took two days to enter the mountain and only about half a day to return. Regardless of whether it was Li Qingfeng, Zhang Pengyi or Liu Yunshu, they basically didn't take any action when they entered the mountain. When they encountered monsters, they basically let the less experienced disciples in the team deal with them, which just increased their actual combat experience. On the way back, many people were injured, so several people took the initiative to clear the way in the later stage of Qi training, so the speed was naturally faster.
On the way, they also met everyone from the Li family and the Zhang family who were on their way back. Although they set off earlier, their cultivation levels were not high. They stopped and stopped for safety, so their speed was slower than that of Li Qingfeng and others.
The Zhang family monks are led by a middle-stage Qi training monk named Zhang Pengyu. The Li family was fine. Everyone was relieved to see that Li Qingdong and Li Qingfeng were fine. When the Zhang family saw that half of the monks who had gone to reinforce them were dead, Zhang Pengyu burst into tears on the spot. The same happened to several other Zhang family members, who were either crying or silent. In this atmosphere, everyone returned to the camp outside Chaoyin Mountain.
After all, Chaoyin Mountain is a gathering place for many monsters and it covers a large area. Generally, people consider the many hills and small plains at the foot of the mountain to be included in Chaoyin Mountain. Li Qingfeng and everyone else were arranged in an area outside the mountain, so it was safer.
The main camp of Jindingmen is built further outside. Since Jindingmen has to arrange a cleanup of monsters every few years, this camp was built decades ago. From a distance, it doesn't look like a big camp, but like a small city.
In fact, many cities in the world of spiritual practice came from this way. They were originally camps for encircling and suppressing monsters or opening up secret realms. As the number of monks gradually increased, there was a need for trading, and naturally there were markets and underground ghost markets, which in turn attracted more monks. There are always people staying in these camps. When some of the monks who stayed behind got older, they brought their relatives to settle in. The population increased and gradually developed into a city.
There are also some cities that developed from the original Fang City for the same reason. For example, Da'anfang City, where Li Qingfeng often visited, already has this phenomenon. It is estimated that in more than a hundred years, the name will be changed there. "Da'an City".
After returning to the camp, Luo Yi and Chen Hao came over to take Li Qingfeng to report. There was a foundation-building monk in the hall handling these matters. The monk had a little beard under his chin and seemed to be easy to talk to. After hearing the report from Li Qingfeng and others, he asked them to go to another place to collect some supplies. Zhang Pengyi and others also had it, but when one of them died, the Jinding Sect specially gave them two pensions, which was considered to win people's hearts.
As for Yuan Xiaodie, she didn't seem to have come with Jindingmen. She disappeared as soon as she arrived at the camp. Li Qingfeng didn't want to have anything to do with her, so he didn't go into details. Instead, he took everyone in the Li family back to his residence.
