Then he rolled his eyes slightly and shouted in a panicked tone: "It turns out that fellow Taoist Mei is here. I was practicing and accidentally hurt fellow Taoist. I'm really sorry, I'm sorry!"
The young man Zhou Zheng knew was from the Mei family in Siping City, named Mei An.
As for the woman, she was from the Hao family in Siping City, and her name was Hao Xin.
Both the Mei family and the Hao family have golden elixir masters in charge, and both of them have joined the Sihaimen. They are not someone who can be provoked by someone with no background like him.
Hearing Zhou Zheng's words, Mei An couldn't help but have a flash of coldness in his eyes, but he quickly restrained himself and said with a smile: "So that's the case. Those who don't know are not to blame. Fellow Daoist Zhou also asked to close the formation and let us in."
"Excuse me, Taoist friend Mei, do you have anything to do with me? I've reached a critical moment in my cultivation and I'm afraid I won't be able to withdraw from the formation." Zhou Zheng cautiously probed.
"It's nothing serious. I just heard from my friend that Fellow Daoist Zhou is here, and I just came here to catch up with him. At least we got to know each other. Could it be that... Fellow Daoist Zhou didn't even let him in?" Mei An said patiently.
"Um...Fellow Taoist Mei, forgive me. I can't move because of my cultivation. If Friend Mei wants to reminisce about the past, when I return to the city another day, I'll invite you to Ziyun Tower for a couple of drinks." Zhou Zheng Oil and salt do not enter the road.
Hearing this, Mei An and Hao Xin's faces darkened. Hao Xin said coldly: "Old man Zhou, do you want to go all the way to the dark side!"
"What do you mean, Miss Hao? I don't understand what you mean at all..."
"Hmph! Stop pretending, we have received news that you have a treasure on you that can detect ore within ten miles. If you are interested, please hand it over! Otherwise, don't blame us for being unkind!" Hao Xin! He directly stated his purpose.
There is such a treasure!
Lu Li was standing in the changing clouds above the heads of Hao Xin and Hao Xin. He originally just wanted to watch a good show, but unexpectedly when he heard such news, his mind immediately became active.
At this time, the three people below seemed to have broken down the conversation, and the two people outside had begun to join forces to attack Zhou Zheng Cave Mansion.
The golden sword formation covered an area of about one mile. Mei An and Hao Xin were each driving a magic weapon long sword and slashing at the formation at random.
It made a jingling sound, and the movement was really quite big.
"Old man Zhou, you have to think about it! It's still too late to come out now. If you are still stubborn, you will die badly when we break the formation!" Mei An threatened loudly while hacking at the formation. .
However, what greeted him were two black beads that suddenly appeared!
The two beads, one on the left and one on the right, flew in front of Mei An and the two in an instant. Their expressions changed, and they had to give up the attack formation and build a shield to protect themselves.
As soon as the two people's shields were formed, the beads exploded with two booms. As the billowing black smoke spread, the powerful shock wave directly knocked the two people flying four to five feet away.
Fortunately, the relative strength of the two was pretty good and they did not suffer much damage.
But after the thick smoke passed, the two of them discovered that Zhou Zheng had already taken the road and fled with his long sword. They were immediately angry and shouted, "Where are you escaping!" ’ Then he turned around at the same time and chased Zhou Zheng.
Seeing this situation, Zhou Zheng immediately complained incessantly.
He has just reached the mid-term stage, but these two people have already reached the mid-stage perfection level, and they have deep family backgrounds. If this continues, he will definitely have no hope of escaping.
Thinking of this, he couldn't help but feel a little entangled, thinking, maybe just hand over the thing.
Although the two of them are teammates now, if that thing takes action, they may immediately turn against each other. At that time, he will not say anything about taking it back, but there should be no problem in taking the opportunity to escape.
But at the moment when Zhou Zheng was distracted, Mei An suddenly accelerated and chased after him. A closer look showed that the long sword at Mei An's feet had been replaced by a three-foot black shuttle with a flickering light.
"Flying Talisman!"
Seeing this object, Lu Li on the cloud couldn't help but show a look of surprise. Because the materials for making this object are very precious, and the number of times it can be used is limited, he has never seen it before in the Xuanzhen world.
He had only seen it in some miscellaneous notes, but he didn't expect to see it here.
"Die!"
The black shuttle was extremely fast and arrived at Zhou Zheng's side in the blink of an eye. A cold light flashed in Mei An's eyes, she held the long sword in her hand backwards and slashed towards Zhou Zheng's neck.
At the speed of the black shuttle, even if Mei An didn't use any force, this sword was enough to cut off Zhou Zheng's head. At this time, Zhou Zheng, other than his face full of despair, could not react at all.
However, what is unexpected is that just when Mei An's sword was about to touch Zhou Zheng's hair, there was a sudden 'bang! ' With a sound, it exploded into a cloud of dust.
Mei An flew another mile away, only to find that the long sword in his hand had only one hilt left. His pupils shrank sharply, revealing a strong look of disbelief.
As for Hao Xin, who was following closely behind, he was also stagnant in mid-air, with his mouth open and not daring to move at all.
"roll!"
At the same time, a thunder-like sound suddenly sounded above the heads of several people, and then they saw Mei An and his two men being thrown away like dead dogs. In an instant, they disappeared.
Bang bang bang! ...Zhou Zheng's heart was beating wildly, as if it was about to burst out of his mouth.
"Come and talk."
At this moment, a neither salty nor bland sound came from the hillside ten miles away behind Zhou Zheng. The sound was not loud, but Zhou Zheng could hear it clearly.
He swallowed hard, then turned around and flew towards the hillside with his long sword. Perhaps because he was too nervous, the flying sword was a little shaky.
"Senior...Senior."
Zhou Zheng landed on a large stone slab on the hillside and saluted the young man in white in front of him, almost bending his waist to the ground.
"Why, I'm not a man-eating beast. How can I be so scary?" Lu Li put one hand behind his back, his snow-white robe moving without any wind, and stared at the over fifty-year-old man with a slight smile.
Of course, in terms of real age, Zhou Zheng is actually several dozen years younger than Lu Li. It's just because of his cultivation that he looks older.
"Senior, senior is more terrifying than a beast... Junior, don't dare to look directly..." Zhou Zheng gritted his teeth and said tremblingly.
"Ha! You are quite interesting. Look up. I just want to make a deal with you. I don't want your life." Lu Li turned sideways and looked into the distance and said calmly.
Hearing this, Zhou Zheng breathed a sigh of relief and said cautiously: "Senior really thinks too highly of junior. I would never dare to do business or anything like that. If you fancy something, senior, just ask. This junior will definitely offer it with both hands..."
