Luo Xuan nodded and smiled slightly: "Well, Junior Brother Qingxiao, you go ahead, we will wait for you to come back."
After hearing Luo Xuan's words, Li Qingxiao immediately used Cloud Shadow Step, ducked, and disappeared.
A quarter of an hour later, Li Qingxiao was already standing in front of the three corpses. He frowned as he looked at the three corpses still bleeding on the ground.
He knew these three people, they were the Qingyuan warriors who intercepted him a day ago. All three of them were yellow-level warriors and were let go by Luo Xuan.
Hey, why did they die here? Moreover, judging from the injured position of the three people, they were all between the eyebrows, and what killed them turned out to be a thread as thin as a hair.
Li Qingxiao had seen people using silk thread to kill people, but this silk thread was something special. Even when he was standing here, he could feel a cold and cold atmosphere.
Li Qingxiao no longer hesitated. Since he died not long ago, he could use the spiritual tracking method to restore the scene here, but it would only cost more energy and spiritual consciousness.
Lines of spiritual consciousness immersed into the sea of consciousness of the three people, and in the blink of an eye, an image appeared in front of Li Qingxiao's eyes.
The three of them stood aside and respectfully paid homage to a Taoist priest. The Taoist priest was about forty years old and was wearing a tattered Taoist robe. He flicked his fly whisk and shouted coldly: "Mu Jiufeng is such a waste. I have warned him not to let him go." It's enough for him, if my cultivation hadn't recovered yet, how could I have done anything to you trash, so to speak, there is no treasure left at all today?"
After hearing what the Taoist said, the three of them nodded.
"Ahem, if that's the case, then you can heal the poor man." After saying that, three black threads as thin as hair were shot towards the eyebrows of the three of them in the blink of an eye.
Before the three yellow-level warriors had time to react, they were shot through their eyebrows by the black thread and fell to the ground instantly.
This didn't seem to be the end. As the Taoist's string of spells sounded, the black thread instantly absorbed the three souls and seven souls of the three people. No matter how frightened the three souls were, they were absorbed by the black thread in just the blink of an eye. Submerged in the vast blackness, he became a member of the black ocean.
After absorbing the souls of the three people, the Taoist smiled slightly and his face was quite rosy. He flicked his whisk and flew towards the depths of the mountain with a single step.
At this time, the picture tracked by the spiritual consciousness became extremely unstable, and gradually began to become blurry. Later, no one could be seen at all. Li Qingxiao simply withdrew his spiritual consciousness, used Yun Yingbu to the limit, and walked toward the Taoist who left. Speeding away in the direction.
Along the way, Li Qingxiao only felt that the further inside, the greener the vitality, and there was also a faint trace of spiritual energy coming from it.
Thinking of the spiritual energy, Li Qingxiao became very excited and accelerated the use of Cloud Shadow Step, spreading his consciousness to the limit.
After half a stick of incense, the figure of the Taoist appeared again in his consciousness. At this time, the Taoist was not alone. There was an ancient ape opposite him.
Wild ancient apes can be several feet tall, with arms as thick as trees and eyes like blood-red lanterns, but this ancient ape only has one arm!
"You evil beast, a hundred years ago, I cut off one of your arms, and you accidentally escaped. But I have to thank you for leaving me a large number of spiritual branches, which helped me cultivate to the late stage of heaven. Now I am only one step away from the innate level." One step away, I am here for nothing else, just for the spiritual branch. If you know the truth, hand over the spiritual branch. I, the soul messenger, swear by heaven and earth to protect you from death!"
The Taoist's internal energy was secretly flowing, and the whisk was already whirring. As the autumn wind suddenly picked up, his hair and the whisk were fluttering together.
After listening to the words of the human soul messenger, the ancient ape showed a hint of horror in its eyes, obviously recognizing the human soul messenger. Things that happened a hundred years ago seemed to emerge in its mind, and there was a trace of sadness in its eyes.
It stared at the human soul messenger in front of it unwillingly. Suddenly, it opened its huge mouth, slapped its chest with its right hand, and let out a huge roar that shook the sky.
Then he kicked out, bringing up the fierce killing power around him, and kicked towards the human soul messenger.
"court death!"
The Human Soul Messenger shouted loudly, and his inner energy had already been injected into the whisk. In the blink of an eye, thousands of black threads were shot towards the ancient ape.
Li Qingxiao's consciousness carefully observed everything in front of him, Lingzhi? Could it be that the Heart-Condensing Vine is not successful?
His consciousness scanned the ancient ape carefully. Looking at the sad and angry ancient ape, Li Qingxiao finally had some understanding in his heart.
It turns out that the reason why this ancient ape is so strong is because he has been taking the Ningxin Vine for a long time. Following the breath of the ancient ape, Li Qingxiao has discovered that among the countless forks behind the ancient ape, there is one with the same breath as the ancient ape. The smell is exactly the same.
Seeing this, Li Qingxiao finally understood why he didn't go looking for the human soul envoy in front of him in person. It turned out that he didn't know which of the many roads was right, and there was also this powerful ancient ape blocking the way.
Just because the human soul messenger couldn't find the fork in the road, it didn't mean that Li Qingxiao couldn't find it.
During the fierce battle between the ancient ape and the human soul messenger, Li Qingxiao used the Cloud Shadow Step to the limit. Almost as if a gust of wind blew by, Li Qingxiao passed by the ancient ape and flew towards one of the forks in the road.
The ancient ape did not notice it, and still used brute force to fight against the black threads in the hands of the human soul messenger. These black threads killed yellow-level warriors like chickens. Even if they killed earth-level warriors, they could easily capture them.
However, these black silk threads were unable to stop the ancient ape. The ancient ape's power broke through the shackles of the black silk threads time and time again, and waves of huge power formed a vortex of power that swept the human soul envoy into it.
The ancient ape could not detect anything, but the human soul messenger felt abnormal fluctuations in the air. The fluctuation just now was obviously not caused by the ancient ape, nor was it his own, so it must be from other ancient martial arts practitioners.
Humph, I have been playing eagle all my life, but today I was pecked by an eagle.
Thinking of this, he had no intention of entangled with the ancient ape. His inner energy gathered in his dantian, and with one jump, he jumped out of the vortex of the ancient ape's power and flew towards a fork in the road.
Before, I didn't know which fork in the road was where the spiritual branch was, but now the fluctuation was obviously heading towards the spiritual branch.
The remaining hundreds of forked roads are extremely dangerous. A hundred years ago, as the three-soul envoy of the Hanliang Empire, he came here with his senior brother Chen Wuji, and together they cut off an arm of the ancient ape and obtained some spiritual branches.
At that time, Chen Wuji, who was in the late stage of the heaven level, wanted to break through to the innate realm, and he believed in his heart that there must be a better spiritual grass than the spiritual branch.
So, he gave him all the spiritual branches he got, while his senior brother followed a fork in the road and followed the ancient ape. However, within a thousand meters, his senior brother's heart-rending roar could be heard.
Before he could react at that time, he only saw his senior brother rushing out of the fork in the road, covered in blood. When he rushed to his side, his senior brother Chen Wuji had already died!
