It's night, on the Xiaoxi Peak of Beiji Mountain, there are several elegant and exquisite small buildings in a position shaded by trees near the top of the peak. A small lake shrouded in white mist forms a half-moon shape and defends the forested houses. , there are many exotic bamboos glowing white growing in the forest, which illuminate the oasis in the middle of the lake as bright as day.
These strange light bamboos are called lantern bamboos. They are a unique lighting plant in the fairy world. They absorb and store sunlight during the day and gradually release it at night. The effect is much better than ordinary luminous stones.
Due to the rising mist, this half-moon-like oasis in the middle of the lake is half-covered. Even though the night is getting darker, with the bright lights and bamboos illuminating it, you can still see the strange flowers scattered among the houses and the gentle waves of flowers on the green lake. Looking around, it is surrounded by corridors and connected by secluded paths. It is really a beautiful picture that stands out from the world.
At this moment, a sound of words was coming from a jingshe with green walls and white tiles deep in the bamboo path.
"Little Immortal Master, you have just been promoted to the Condensing Core Realm. Why don't you stabilize your realm a little more before you leave so soon?" A woman's voice said.
"Ping'er, don't think about it. My father and mother have gone there. How can I stay in Beiji Mountain alone? Since the team to collect the magic talisman is coming back this time, I can protect you all the way there. Listen. He said that not only is there no peace here, but life is also unsafe on the road over there." Another woman's voice sounded.
"Little Immortal Master, that's a battlefield over there. It doesn't seem appropriate for you to go there alone. It's better to bring more followers from the sect with you." Another woman said.
"Fang'er, now that I am a monk in the Condensation Realm, why do I need to go through these formalities? Do I have to ask those elders of the Purple Mansion Realm to follow me? Besides, there is still Xiao Huo! You are just worried. ." The voice from before sounded again.
"It's always good to bring more people with you!" the person named Fang'er muttered.
"Ha... don't mention this matter again. Ping'er, go and call Xiaohuo back. I don't know where he went in the middle of the night. Fang'er, go to my aunt and ask for the curtain for me. , I went out to the mountain this time to see if I can lure that person out, and then I can go to the north to avoid trouble everywhere."
"Okay!" "My maid will be there soon!"
At this moment, on the mountainside of Xuebao Peak, outside several row houses of Tingting Restaurant, there were still people whispering in the small restaurant.
"You said there are people watching here, let me ask you, who are they watching?" Liu Qingyi looked at Chu Tianyun with disgust. m.
Chu Tianyun said impatiently: "It goes without saying that they are naturally targeting people from the Holy Talisman Sect."
Several people around him seemed to understand something, and they all looked at Liu Qingyi, "You mean..." "Could it be..."
Liu Qingyi looked around, with a strange light in his eyes, "Since we are targeting the Holy Talisman Sect and killing people from the Holy Talisman Sect, it seems that the target is not on us outer sect monks. Otherwise, there are so many immortals in the north. Door, that person won’t be targeting the Holy Talisman Sect alone!”
"That seems to be the truth!" Shen Daoshi said in relief, with a slight smile on his face.
The man in green from Baihua Fairy Valley glanced at Liu Qingyi and said solemnly: "Even if the target is not on us, we still have to suffer the same disaster if we work in the same team as the people of the Holy Talisman Sect."
"Hey, are you so rigid?" Liu Qingyi scolded him, with a smirk on his face, "If we really encounter a strong hand coming to rob the road, since we are not the main target, just run away, Holy Whether people from the Fu Sect live or die is none of our business!"
When the man in green heard this, he put his hands on his hands and smiled and said, "Brother Yun Dao is so insightful, wonderful, that's exactly how it should be, haha."
Qi Zhen, the red-haired man from the Lihuo Palace in the Western Region, angrily yelled: "What are you talking about? It's completely unethical. Let's come out together and help each other. What do you mean it's none of your business?"
As soon as this man spoke, the remaining people stopped answering and looked at Qi Zhen with playful expressions. Even Chu Tianyun of the Liuyun Sect curled his lips. These people also knew in their hearts that the Lihuo Palace in the Western Region We are related by marriage to the Holy Talisman Sect, so if something goes wrong, we will naturally defend it with all our strength. Everyone has assumptions in their minds, but none of them expose Qi Zhen to his face.
In the early morning of the next day, six or seven figures came out of several row houses on the mountainside of Xuebao Peak early and gathered in a small restaurant facing the sun.
Luo Xian, the monk leading the team from the Holy Talisman Sect, arrived here with excitement not long after. He slipped out several black and white robes in one hand and placed them on the stone table. He said to the crowd: "Everyone, please put on your clothes." .”
"Change into this? Why are you changing into this? We are not from the Holy Talisman Sect!" "Yes, I still wear my own clothes." When several people resisted, except for Qi Zhen from Lihuo Palace, no one took a photo. made.
Luo Xian smiled faintly, looked around at the few people and said, "Do you want to resist the order? To tell you the truth, this is the decision of the upper echelons of the Immortal Kingdom, and you have to change it if you don't want to!"
After hearing what Luo Xian said, everyone's eyes flickered and they screamed in their hearts.
Liu Qingyi huddled behind others and muttered secretly: "His aunt is so rough, her plans haven't kept up with the changes!"
As the saying goes, you have to bow your head when you are under the eaves. Under Luo Xian's gaze, several people reluctantly changed their clothes and looked at each other several times, with a bitter look on their faces.
After a while, a group of eight people flew up from Xuebao Peak again, broke through the mountain guarding formation through the clouds and mist, and all circled on the main peak of Beiji Mountain.
This time, when they came out, their clothes were all different in color. Everyone was wearing black and white robes, which looked very smooth.
Luo Xian, a disciple of the Holy Talisman Sect, led everyone in the sky for a few breaths and began to circle around Beiji Mountain. It seemed that he was in no hurry to rush towards the Jibei Ice Vein.
"Hey, what do you mean?" Liu Qingyi was confused.
Yingcui, a woman from the Tongtian Sect, was already surprised and said: "Brother Luo Dao, why don't you go to Jibei Ice Vein? What's the point of staying here?"
The man in green from Baihua Fairy Valley flew by and asked repeatedly: "You know there is danger here, but you let me wear the clothes of a disciple of the Holy Talisman Sect and take us around. What do you think? "
Seeing that Luo Xian was silent and didn't answer, Chu Tianyun smiled strangely and said, "Isn't it obvious? Using us people as bait to catch fish from their Holy Talisman Sect is such a good plan."
Shen Daoshi said helplessly: "Brother Luo Daoshi, what's going on? You should explain it clearly."
Luo Xian looked back at everyone and said with a slight sarcasm: "Are all of you disciples of the Shangxian Sect so courageous? Oh, you don't have to be afraid of being like this. There are high-level monks of my Holy Sect following you. You can't die. !”
"I guessed it right, he really came here for fishing!" Chu Tianyun's face showed such an expression.
"That's right, I didn't tell you earlier!"
"Why us?"
"You don't know how to fish, so you have to ask us to fish?"
There was a flurry of discussion, and Liu Qingyi cursed in her heart: "Uncle, you really know how to make arrangements!"
In this way, a group of people circled around Beiji Mountain several times, but nothing happened. Under the leadership of Luo Xian, they wandered around the nearby villages and towns.
During this period, several people in the team looked back several times, but did not see the high-level monks that Luo Xian had mentioned coming. While feeling uneasy in their hearts, they kept urging Luo Xian to rush to Jibei Ice Vein as soon as possible.
In a ditch area outside Beiji Mountain, a masked woman in black stood in the forest, looked up for a while, and murmured: "This bait trick is too obvious, but there is no need to rush to do it. ”
Liu Qingyi and others followed Luo Xian around several nearby cities, and there were already complaints among the team.
"Brother Luo Dao, when do you want to transfer? It's almost noon." Chu Tianyun looked hesitant.
"Yes, didn't you say that a high-level monk is following you? How come there is no one there?" Tongtian Sect Ying Cui looked around with a black sword in her hand.
"Hey, even if someone follows us, we are so far away, and if something happens, we won't be able to stop it in time. We won't be able to handle it ourselves." Liu Qingyi analyzed every word.
The man in green from the Baihua Fairy Valley urged again: "Then why don't we leave quickly? It will be safe if we enter the Jibei Ice Vein."
Kou Tian looked at Luo Xian and snorted coldly: "Are we here to escort you to get your things, or are we here to serve as bait for you from the Holy Talisman Sect? Luo Xian, please tell the truth!"
Luo Xian, a disciple of the Holy Talisman Sect, originally planned to lure out the inner ghost assassin and make a contribution to the country. Seeing that after so long, it had no effect at all, he finally couldn't stand the urging of everyone. It started to fly towards Jibei Ice Vein.
When several people left, they all used spiritual treasure magic weapons to help them fly. They were afraid that their speed would be too slow and others would take advantage of them. When they reached the outskirts of the Jibei Ice Vein, only half a moment had passed.
Looking up from high in the sky, I saw a vast expanse of ice. The entrance to the cave where everyone originally came out had disappeared. The overwhelming frost had already fallen down, and the ice veins had re-condensed into one side, glowing with white light. The jade wall.
Luo Xian concentrated for a while and looked around, then led everyone to escape to a low hill outside the ice vein. After searching left and right for a few breaths, he came to a mountain col area. He took out five people to stand in several positions and directed the five people to move in a clockwise direction. The direction changed like a revolving door on the snow.
Not long after, there was a strange "click" sound from a few steps away from the crowd, and a dark cave entrance emerged. One of the blue stone steps gradually appeared in front of everyone's eyes. This was the first place Liu Qingyi and others came to. The hanging corridor staircase that you entered when you first passed through the Jibei Ice Vein.
Luo Xian was carrying a silver array sign and was already walking towards the entrance of the stairway first. The others were waiting to follow, but they saw a black shadow coming very quickly from the horizon. When they got close, there was a flash of white light, turning into dots of stars. The faint light fell over everyone's heads.
Seeing the extremely fast speed of the person coming, Luo Xian shouted, "Who is it?" He raised his hand and struck out a white magic talisman, which turned into a silver fairy sword and faced him.
The red-haired man named Qi Zhen from the Lihuo Palace also attacked the visitor brazenly, throwing a spiritual treasure such as a staff, and spraying a black strange fire into the air.
The next moment, there was only a crisp sound of "ding rang", and the silver fairy sword was struck in two by a few points of light. A white light flashed past, and Luo Xian's huge head was chopped off, and a large area of bright red hair flew out. The blood stains were sprinkled on the snow, which looked shocking.
After receiving the white light, a masked woman in black rushed forward. With just a raise of her hand, she dispersed the strange fire. With a flick of her fingers, the white light turned at an extremely fast speed, destroying the spirit of the staff. When the treasure exploded, it had already pierced through Qi Zhen's chest, directly exploding his upper body into a shower of blood.
At this time, the remaining people on the snow hill were dodging and dodging. Liu Qingyi and the man in green from Baihua Fairy Valley saw the opportunity and rushed to the hanging ladder at the entrance of the cave. Chu Tianyun, Shen Daoshi, and Kou Tian fled in the opposite direction. Only Yingcui seemed to As if he was stunned, he stood motionless in the snow and stared blankly at the person coming.
Some people died, but not completely...
