Early that morning, the three of them set off from Qingfeng Town and headed for the Su Family Mansion.
Sujiafu is adjacent to Qingfeng Town and is located in the southeast of Yize. The place name is Jiaxi. The mountains and rivers are close to each other on all sides, and the water retains the scenery of the mountains. The low-lying mountains lie between the rivers, and the houses are clustered on the sides of the rivers and lakes. The wooden buildings are erected in an upright and elegant manner, leaving a trace of silence before the spring. Its ancient charm can still be recognized even from a distance.
The three of them had spent a whole day when they arrived in Jiaxi. After finding a place to stay, they planned to go to Su's Mansion tomorrow.
Qiong was also a little uneasy. This uneasiness did not come from the unfamiliar Su family, but from a vague smell of danger, and she couldn't tell what the cause was.
After resting in the inn, Qiong Yi entered the single room, where Sheng Xuanyuan and Yan Tingshen were in the same room.
After Sheng Xuanyuan closed the wooden door of the room, he sensed movement around him. He also noticed that something was wrong, especially the unusual and unfamiliar smell he caught on the way today, which made him feel uncomfortable as if he was being targeted as prey.
"Brother Yan, have you noticed?" He lowered his voice and said to Yan Tingshen, who was packing his luggage, "It seems that someone followed us to Jiaxi."
Hearing his question, Yan Ting raised his chin deeply and thought: "It's really not an illusion."
Sheng Xuanyuan recalled: "They should have been spotted on a remote mountain road on the way. They hid it well."
If the three of them can achieve Qinggong all the way, they will definitely not be ordinary people, and their cultivation level is probably not low. Yan Ting looked at him deeply: "Do you want to find out who is coming?"
"Of course. There must be something strange along the way with us, and we must take care of it before going to Su's house." Sheng Xuanyuan said while looking out the window.
Various things flashed through Yan Ting's mind, and he asked: "Did we offend someone? Or was it a Taoist monk we met by chance?"
Thinking about it, the only person they had offended seemed to be Su Changming, but if Su Changming had this level of cultivation, he wouldn't have been beaten so badly.
"Could it be because of me?" Thinking that Yan Tingshen and Qiong Yi should not have any grudges and entanglements, Sheng Xuanyuan thought for a long time and began to wonder if he had caused the trouble: It shouldn't be, I have been practicing within the clan since I was a child, and I went down the mountain. There are only a handful of times, and I have never made enemies with others.
Could it be that it's a family feud? But the only one who has ever had a relationship with our clan is the Mingxu sect in the Jianghu. This sect fell out of the top ten sects a few years ago... It should not have the courage to follow people to the Su family in Jiaxi after leaving the academy. …
Could it be that they thought I was old enough to travel and gain experience, so they came here to kill me?
It’s also unlikely…
Sheng Xuanyuan thought about it and said: "There are many people in the world who take pleasure in provoking troubles among the children of the five races. Qing Feng is studying in the open. Maybe he doesn't dare to attack directly, so he follows them on the way."
"That's a good guess. That's what many people think."
"But we are not."
A smiling male voice sounded outside the window. The voice was very penetrating and echoed in the house. Sheng Xuanyuan and Yan Tingshen were shocked. Just now, they had been very vigilant in lowering their voices when talking, but they didn't expect that there was someone outside the window and they were heard!
Sheng Xuanyuan immediately drew his sword, and slashed out the window with a blast of sword energy. The window cracked horizontally and fell to the ground. Through the half-fallen wooden box, he saw a strange man floating in the air, with his feet on the sword. , with a steady and composed figure, looking at Mo Yue, who was in his mid-twenties, at the same time Qiong Yi's clear voice came from the next room: "Who!"
Swordsmanship!
Yan Ting was deeply concerned: This person is a high-level monk with an extraordinary aura, and his cultivation level may be nearly two levels higher than his own. I saw the man crossing his arms and smiling, and a woman in the air further away was holding a sword and looking at them coldly.
"Junior Brother Sheng, long time no see. Well... or should I say, first meeting?" The man in white flew closer with his sword and complained to Sheng Xuan. Seeing that the window on the adjacent side was pushed open, he greeted Qiong Yi, who was looking surprised by the window, with a smile: "Girl, the dusk is so beautiful. Do you want to take advantage of the glow to enjoy the beautiful scenery with me?"
Qiong Yi was stunned. She could feel the oppression and hostility emanating from this man, and raised her hand to suppress Xian Ge. She recognized the star and thunder pattern on the man's belt. Among the "Five Tribes and Ten Sects", the ten sects of Jianghu, Qinggui Sect, which ranked second among them, had the star and thunder pattern.
She lowered her voice: "...from the Qinggui Sect?"
"How can a disciple of the Qinggui Sect have the leisure to come to Jiaxi to hang out?" Yan Ting said with deep lips. Sheng Xuanyuan had no memory of the man who affectionately called him "little junior brother". He only remembered some past events after hearing the words "Qingguimen".
"Oh! I'm here to pick up my little junior brother! After all, the master has not received the precious apprentice even after three visits to Bai Feng, so I can only let me take it back by force." The man smiled coldly, "Have you remembered? Young Master Sheng .”
Sheng Xuanyuan remained silent, but something happened in his memory: since his birth, the master of Qinggui Sect came to Bai Feng to accept him as his disciple. After his father refused, he came twice more when he was young. Refuse them all.
"Not using swords or guns is the wisest choice. I won't be merciful if we get into a fight." The man smiled, "Sheng Xuanyuan... right? You make your own choice." Before he could finish his words, Sheng Xuanyuan rushed out of the window. , Qinggong jumped up and stabbed him with his sword.
Seeing that Sheng Xuanyuan chose to take action directly, the woman in the distance shouted loudly: "Brother Tiancheng! Be careful!" She reminded him and quickly rushed to support him. The young man known as Tiancheng did not expect Sheng Xuanyuan to strike so neatly. He ducked sideways to avoid the stabbing, only to hear the stabbing step on the Yingying Sword. Sheng Xuanyuan stood with the sword, his black hair flying like ink satin, and said coldly: " I'm not interested in Qingguimen."
The two people from the Qinggui Sect were first shocked that he could fly with a sword, and then upon hearing his words, they couldn't help but feel angry. The woman couldn't bear to hear that her sect was being ignored, her eyebrows stood up, she shouted angrily, golden light flashed behind her, and three sword spirits appeared out of thin air upon summons and attacked Sheng Xuanyuan.
This is the famous sword spirit method of Qinggui sword cultivator. Its name is "Qingguang Spiritual Blade". Sheng Xuanyuan has heard about it a little bit, so he calls Chengying back to get it, vibrating his sword to block the light blade. The woman is urging As she moved the sword spirit, she suddenly noticed a figure flashing beside her. Before she could react, Qiong had already jumped behind her, and slashed straight at her neck with a cold sword.
"Wan Shu!" Seeing that his junior sister was about to be killed by Sheng Xuanyuan's accomplices, Xu Tiancheng quickly activated his skills and summoned his own sword spirit to cast the Xian Sing Sword for her. Qiong also saw the opportunity and used her strength to retreat, but was still reacted by Song Wanshu hit her chest with a palm and fell back into the house.
Qiong Yi covered her heart, feeling a stinging pain in her chest, her mouth felt sweet, and she thought to herself: Her cultivation level... is so high!
Yan Tingshen supported Qiong Yi. She waved her hand to indicate that she was fine. Her eyes fell on the two people and she couldn't help but clenched her fists tighter.
The Qinggui Sect is one of the top sects in the world. These two people are definitely not over thirty years old, and their cultivation aura is several levels higher than mine. They are probably high-level monks who have entered the "Transformation Realm".
They want to take Sheng Kyung away, how can I deal with them?
Xu Tiancheng and Song Wanshu were in a pincer attack on Sheng Xuanyuan. The young man in white seemed to be smiling but not smiling: "I advise you to just surrender, otherwise... you won't die, and these two little friends will suffer." Sheng Xuanyuan stayed in the air for a moment. , and then turned his sword to strike at Song Wanshu. Xu Tiancheng could tell there was deceit in his eyes and blocked the blow. Unexpectedly, it was a feint! He dumped his strength and fell straight to the ground, carrying Qiong Yi and the two of them and running away. At this time, the two people from Qingguimen noticed that Qiong Yi and Yan Tingshen who were staying in the second floor room had jumped out of the window and immediately chased them. .
"Xuanyuan, why do they call you junior brother? Do you have any festivals?"
Without waiting for Sheng Xuanyuan to speak, Qiong also replied: "The Qinggui Sect has always accepted people with extremely high talents as disciples. As a method inherited by the sect, those who do not want to become disciples will be forcibly captured by force. This has not happened once or twice. !”
The three of them fled to an uninhabited suburb. In front of them was a dark green bamboo forest. Sheng Xuanqian knew that he didn't have much time and the bamboo forest couldn't hide his figure. It seemed that they had to fight. He looked at Qiong Yi and Yan Tingshen and said calmly: " I'll stop them, you go first, the Su Family Mansion is nearby, they won't ignore it."
"Are you kidding! That man's cultivation has reached the 'Transformation Realm', and he's here to catch you again. How could I let you fight them alone!" Qiong Yi gritted his teeth and lost his voice.
"I know." Sheng Xuanyuan responded in a deep voice. It was precisely because he knew that the cultivation level of those two people was much higher than theirs that he did not want to put Qiong Yi and Yan Ting, who were still at the "Qi Condensation" level, in deep danger.
"It doesn't matter if you have a higher level of cultivation. It's not just the Qi-refining class that determines your strength." Yan Ting clenched the sword in his hand tightly and said, "What's the difference between us leaving you and stabbing you in the back with a knife!"
Suddenly there was a "whoosh" sound piercing the air behind him. Sheng Xuanyuan looked around the bamboo forest with Cheng Ying in his hands. A sword spirit flew straight towards him from nowhere. After being blocked by him, the sword circled the three of them. After flying for a week, it suddenly turned again and stabbed deeply into Yan Ting without hesitation.
Qiong Yi reacted very quickly and hit the sword spirit at the right spot. The sword spirit inserted into the soil and moved twice. There was a "snap" sound with a snap of fingers. At the same time, the owner of the sword spirit slowly emerged from the darkness. He walked slowly, and the sword flew back behind him upon summons.
"So what if you take me back to Qinggui Sect?" Sheng Xuanyuan held the shadow in his hand and the blue light shone brightly. He took two steps forward to block Qiong Yi and the others, facing Xu Tiancheng. Xu Tiancheng faced him with his sword, "There are many ways to teach people to 'will' in this world. As long as the result is yes, the process is not important at all."
Hearing this, Sheng Xuanyuan couldn't help but sneer: "You claim to be righteous, but you are no different from the Demon Sect." After saying that, he forced him back with a horizontal slash. Xu Tiancheng laughed and made knotted gestures, "Then let you see how I send my power. Dharma!" When he was using his skills to move the sword, he felt a cold feeling on his back. He hurriedly raised his palm to meet it, and saw an elusive figure slashing at him with a sword. The light golden light in his palm collided with Xian Ge. Due to his incomplete movement, he had to Backing away, my heart was full of surprise: Does this woman only know how to use the Dark Sword? Didn't you ask Junior Sister Wan Shu to stop these two people? How could she have the chance to sneak up on me!
Looking back, the only person Song Wanshu was pestering was Yan Tingshen, not Qiong Yi at all! And just after a sneak attack on her from behind failed, her pale green figure disappeared in a flash without knowing where to go.
Seeing that Qiong Yi was restrained for a moment, Sheng Xuanyuan followed up with the sword. Xu Tiancheng kicked the ground with his left foot, and blocked the blow with one of the four clear light spiritual blades. As if he understood human nature, the spirit sword vibrated and struck Sheng Xuanyuan's abdomen. Stab away.
"Dang! Dang!" Two bamboo leaves were thrown from a distance like dart blades, slowing down the movement of the lightsaber. Sheng Xuanyuan somersaulted back up and kicked Xu Tiancheng in the chest, kicking him several meters away.
Xu Tiancheng suffered a small loss due to their dealings in the dark and in the light. He leaned against the long bamboo, steadied his body and smiled angrily: "Okay! It's interesting, then I'll play with you!"
