The atmosphere suddenly became lively as the Nascent Soul stage entered one after another.
Xia Yongqing has been away from the city all year round and has been hiding in the mountain gate to repair. His unexpected appearance today has made many people curious.
"To be honest with what President Tian said, I did have some important matters to discuss with Master Zang when I came out this time." A monk in the Nascent Soul stage.
"Oh?" President Tian became interested.
"I wonder who this is?" Xia Yongqing did not answer the question, but turned to Jiang Yun and asked.
"I was listening to Jiang Yun, the Minister of the Foreign Affairs Department of Xiacheng West District, and I met Head Xia." In any case, the other party was in the Nascent Soul stage, so there was no need for him to act like a minister.
"Are you Minister Jiang?" Unexpectedly, Xia Yongqing's eyes lit up when he heard Jiang Yun's name, "I heard Zang Kun mention it, Minister Jiang, please stay after the banquet. I have something to talk to the minister about. "
Jiang Yun responded doubtfully.
Soon the first table was full. In addition to the two Ditingyuan, there were two Nascent Soul stage masters from two of the eight major sects, and two Nascent Soul stage casual cultivators, both of whom were Zang Huang's casual cultivator friends.
After everyone arrived, Zang Huang began to formally take over the ceremony.
A series of processes took nearly two sticks of incense.
Xia Yongqing seems to take good care of Jiang Yun. The other Yuanyingqi or Tian Xiao all know each other more or less and have similar status, so they can all chat with each other. Jiang Yun was the only one in the Jindan period, but his status was inferior to Tian Xiao, so he was ignored by others. Xia Yongqing would always shout a few words at critical moments to prevent him from being too embarrassed.
In fact, Jiang Yun really didn't care, as long as he was full at this kind of banquet.
As the leader, Zang Huang came over to propose a toast. He noticed that Jiang Yun was not a gregarious person and recommended Jiang Yun to several people. This made everyone present become curious. Xia Yongqing and Zang Huang both favored this person. Could it be that there was something really powerful about this person?
During the second half of the banquet, everyone more or less pulled Jiang Yun in to chat together.
Seeing Jiang Yun's comfortable appearance, Ke Xinyu, who was sitting at the third table, had red eyes. He could only pretend not to care and try to establish a relationship with the two elders of Flowing Rock Castle.
You wait for Jiang Yun. After the banquet is over, I will apologize to Master Zang and then form an alliance. By then you will still be empty-handed.
He poured his sorrow and anger into the wine glass and swallowed it in large gulps.
But unfortunately, after the banquet, when Zang Huang heard that he wanted to talk in detail, he smiled and declined, "Don't be surprised, Vice Minister Ke. Zang still has sect matters to deal with. We will discuss all matters later."
Looking at Zang Kun who was refusing to eat, Ke Xinyu had a bad feeling in his heart.
He knew that Jiang Yun was still in Qingfeng Xiaoyu Building, and the guests at the first table were all distinguished guests. Zang Huang still wanted to chat with them for a while, and he was sensible and did not choose to wait for Jiang Yun any longer.
"You forced me to do this."
He suddenly took out the transmission talisman and contacted He Youjia.
After bidding farewell to a group of guests, including those of Tian Xiao's level, Zang Huang walked around and arrived at a private room. In the private room, Jiang Yun and Xia Yongqing were chatting.
"Don't be surprised, Minister Jiang. There are really too many guests, so you have to wait a long time."
"Nothing, Master You Xia keeps talking to me. I don't even feel that time flies by so fast." Jiang Yun laughed.
"Please sit down." Zang Huang raised his hand and motioned for Jiang Yun to sit down.
"The reason why Fellow Daoist Xia came here today is because we have been friends for a long time. He also knows that I have been suppressed by the Gu insects. This time I heard that I solved the Gu insect problem with your help. So I came here specifically to see you, and I also want to ask for something." Zang Huang said, indicating that Xia Yongqing could now tell the truth this time.
Jiang Yun looked at Xia Yongqing curiously.
It was not a big surprise that Xia Yongqing and Zang Huang were good friends. What really made him curious was what the other party wanted, what the two Nascent Soul stages couldn't solve, and what they wanted from him? Could it still be related to the Thunder?
Sure enough, the next moment Xia Yongqing said, "I heard that Minister Jiang used the method of controlling thunder. I wonder if I can show you a few things?"
Jiang Yun hesitated for a moment, then flashed a lightning arc with his right hand.
Looking at the thunder and lightning roaming on his right hand, Xia Yongqing nodded slightly, his eyes seeming to be very satisfied with the thunder.
"Minister Jiang."
Xia Yongqing said, "I do have something to ask of you, and I ask Minister Jiang to help me."
"Headmaster Xia, please tell me first."
"As one of the two major sects in the south of the city, our Feiyun Sect has two great Nascent Souls and seven golden elixirs. Our power ranks among the eight major sects and even among the official sects in other counties." Xia Yongqing first boasted. His own sect immediately changed the subject, "However, in the past two years, we have encountered some troubles."
"About two years ago, an ancient spirit rat's golden elixir demon cultivator came near our mountain gate."
Ancient spirit rat?
Jiang Yun suddenly remembered that Sun Maomao had given him an ancient rat spirit core before in the Haoyue Mountains. At that time, there seemed to be talk about the three sects in the mountain range, Emperor Xing Guan, Ten Thousand Beasts Valley, and Sanbao Mountain.
"This golden elixir stage rat demon seems to have escaped from the depths of the Haoyue Mountains. When we first met him, he was seriously injured and hid near our sect. We didn't pay attention at the time. But we couldn't stand it, but two golden elixir elders wanted to kill this demon. Xiu, used his body to refine the spiritual weapon. But due to a moment of negligence, the rat demon escaped."
"I think Minister Jiang can guess a thing or two later."
"When the rat demon appeared again, its strength returned to its peak, and the strength of the golden elixir in the later stage was extremely powerful. As a last resort, I personally tried to kill the rat demon. Who knew that this rat demon was extremely difficult to deal with, and its hair was hard and resistant to beatings. The poisonous miasma it casts will make me feel a little dizzy even if I enter."
"The Supreme Elder and I worked together one more time, but this guy still escaped. In desperation, I also started to stay at the mountain gate for a long time, just to guard against this ancient spirit rat. Only then did we understand that what it relies on most is There is a poisonous miasma in the sky, as long as there is a way to destroy this poisonous miasma, we are confident that we can catch it."
Jiang Yun suddenly realized that this was the case. Thunder and flames were very effective against poisonous miasma and the like. However, he still wondered, "There are not many monks who know thunder magic, but there should be many monks who know fire magic, right? Fire magic should be the same." It can be used to target poisonous miasma.”
"Yes, flames can indeed target poisonous miasma." Xia Yongqing twitched the corner of his mouth, "But after the rat demon was injured by the flame monk we found that time, he actually found a toad demon cultivator. The toad demon cultivator has water Damn it, as soon as the flames come out, they will be extinguished by this toad."
Jiang Yun smiled bitterly when he heard this. No wonder no matter how the fire method targets the poisonous miasma, the toad still has a way. However, this ancient spirit rat has some background, and it can actually attract the toad demon cultivator.
"So now we can only find Brother Leifa to try again."
When Xia Yongqing said this, he shook his head helplessly, "The rats and the toads made sneak attacks in the dark over and over again, and the entire mountain gate was made a mess by them. I also heard that Minister Jiang knew the thunder method this time, so I wanted to try it again."
"That's it, Master Xia." Jiang Yun said with a smile, "I have other ways to try, but I can't give you any definite news at the moment. How about this? I have to deal with some internal conflicts in the Diting Academy in the past few days. By the way, I I’ll help you find other monks who can deal with the Ancient Spirit Rat. To be honest, although the thunder method is useful, my strength may not be enough to hurt the Ancient Spirit Rat in the late Golden Core stage."
"Does Minister Jiang have other options?" Xia Yongqing and Zang Huang asked curiously.
"You can give it a try."
"If Minister Jiang can help our sect eliminate this scourge, I, Feiyun Sect, will definitely give me a medium-grade spiritual weapon as a thank you gift!" Xia Yongqing immediately promised, patting his chest.
After adding the chat method of uploading notes, Jiang Yun said to Zang Huang again.
"Master Zang, I'm going to take action soon. You'd better stay in the city during this period to prevent those people from jumping over the wall."
"OK."
. .
Jiang Yun, who was bidding farewell to the two Nascent Soul monks, had just left the mountain gate of Qingfeng Xiaoyu Tower when his expression changed and he looked at Sangzi County with a strange smile, "Ke Xinyu, He Youjia, let's see how you hide this time?"
He rode the firebird and flew towards Sangzi County.
As he was flying, he felt something was wrong. He had just vaguely noticed a hint of the formation's breath. Although it was very faint, he had been exposed to formations since he was a child, so he was very familiar with the fluctuations of the formation's activation.
"Something's wrong!"
Jiang Yun immediately stopped the fire bird and retreated to be on the safe side.
"Don't leave when Minister Jiang is here."
Unexpectedly, a middle-aged man suddenly appeared next to him. This middle-aged man was wearing white clothes with cloud patterns and a snow lotus embroidered on his chest. His face was slightly pale and he looked a little strange.
"Snow lotus!"
Jiang Yun was shocked and immediately shouted, "Did Ke Xinyu ask you to kill me?"
In fact, he knew in his heart that it was Ke Xinyu who begged He Youjia for help, and He Youjia was able to make Snow Lotus and Blood Blade take action. He immediately asked Yanwu to invite Zang Huang and Xia Yongqing in the name of being unable to contact Jiang Yun. At the same time, he asked Yanwu to go to the dean Du Juesheng and the director of records Xiao Tianyang. Nascent Soul may not be able to save oneself.
To deal with Snow Lotus, the only equivalent forces like Xuntianjian or Fulingmenting are the only ones!
But I have been flying for a while.
I'm afraid it will take a while for both sides to come back with support, and since this formation is surrounding me, I'm not sure how long I can last...
"It was really careless, I didn't let Yan Wu follow."
I originally thought that this time it would be a normal outing for a banquet, and everyone would come back together after the banquet was over. I didn't expect that Xia Yongqing would keep me here for so long. Zang Huang was so enthusiastic towards him, which must have made Ke Xinyu feel the danger, so he jumped over the wall in a hurry.
"Deputy Minister Ke asked our Snow Lotus to kill you. Minister Jiang, how do you feel? My formation is a phantom formation plus a killing formation arranged by the Master of the Nascent Soul Realm. Even if you have Nascent Soul Stage rescue coming, you can't be the first." Time will find you, and I am fully capable of killing you within this time."
As the middle-aged man spoke, the surrounding formations activated.
Snowflakes suddenly started flying within a hundred meters of the circle with Jiang Yun as the center. A bit of cold wind blew across Jiang Yun's face, and Jiang Yun felt a little bit of pain. He hurriedly started to dodge, the wind was sharper than the sword blade! If he hadn't activated the Five Thunder Barbarian Body just as he realized something was wrong, perhaps this wind blade would have been enough to leave blood marks on his face.
"Have a good trip, Minister Jiang!"
The middle-aged man laughed ferociously, and his spiritual energy burst out. What made Jiang Yun panic was that this man was actually a Nascent Soul cultivator!
He really didn't expect that Snow Lotus would actually send a Yuanying monk to kill him. Although this person seemed to be in the early stage of Yuanying, his control over the Tao could probably kill him at will.
You still have to arrange the formation just now, you really think highly of me, Jiang Yun.
"We must find a way to delay time. Now both parties have received the message and are already rushing here. I must delay time and wait for them to arrive!"
The boundless wind and snow howled within the formation, and Jiang Yun's hands and feet began to become a little stiff.
"Chaos Scythe!"
The Nascent Soul Qi shouted loudly, and an evil soul-catching scythe appeared in his hand. The scythe was as long as his body, and the blade was glowing with blood. Just by looking at it, one could deduce that this scythe had harvested the lives of many strong men. life!
The bloody sickle waved several extremely sharp air blades one after another.
Jiang Yun did not dare to resist, so he landed directly on the ground and used the escape technique he had just learned to escape into the ground. The sickle air blade hit the open ground, making the ground tremble uncontrollably, and the ground was hit by these air blades, making big holes.
"Flowing Rock Castle Taoist Earth Escape Technique."
The Nascent Soul cultivator laughed, not feeling the embarrassment of being dodged by the attack at all, "So it turns out you were the one who killed the two masters. Tell me how you killed those two late-stage Jindans?"
Jiang Yun continued to hide underground and did not dare to reply when he heard this sound.
This is a close-combat Nascent Soul cultivator! Once he gets close, you have no chance at all unless you use your soul attack to force a trade with him.
escape!
The further away from him the better!
"You're not talking, are you? It seems I can only catch you and listen to your story."
The Nascent Soul cultivator grinned, and spiritual energy began to gather on the blood sickle in his hand. Soon, the blood light gathered bigger and bigger, forming a huge air blade.
"come out!"
The blood sickle slammed into the ground, and the ground in the entire formation area cracked open!
