Yang Yunsheng panicked in his heart, and struck out with a palm, and a series of palm prints attacked Li Qingxiao. Li Qingxiao didn't look at it, and punched out, after a series of fist shadows, overwhelming the sky and the earth, completely covering those palm prints.
A shadow of a knife flashed past, and in an instant, a human head fell to the ground.
The hall was silent at this time, and no sound could be heard anymore.
Wang Yiming was trembling with fear in his heart. He didn't expect that Li Qingxiao, who was healing, could be so powerful. If he had known this, he would have surrendered like Zhang Kai. In fact, almost all people think like him.
They retreated tremblingly, and the swords in their hands could be heard trembling.
Suddenly, Li Qingxiao said: "What? Who else wants to try how I kill you?"
Wang Yiming immediately said: "Senior Li, everything is a misunderstanding. We surrender now and elect you as the leader of the Jingyi Sect. Please spare the life of this junior."
Everyone also agreed, as if everything that just happened was really a misunderstanding.
Li Qingxiao was disgusted when he saw the performance of these people before and after. He threw a bunch of fireworks. Suddenly, the hall was filled with smoke, making it difficult to see each other.
Shadows of swords flashed past one after another, flashing continuously, emitting dazzling light, and the sound of joyful swords could be heard in the air from time to time.
The smoke dissipated, and when the situation inside was clearly seen, everyone outside the hall took a breath.
The corpses of more than a dozen prefecture-level warriors fell to the ground, and their heads were scattered on the ground.
Li Qingxiao stood up and walked slowly to Zhang Kai. After all, Zhang Kai was seriously injured because of himself. How could he stand by and watch?
He put his left hand on Zhang Kai's wrist, injecting a stream of true energy to moisturize the broken meridians. Slowly, Zhang Kai's face became a little rosy, and soon he opened his eyes.
When Zhang Kai saw Li Qingxiao, he struggled to get up. Li Qingxiao hinted to him not to move. Zhang Kai understood what Li Qingxiao meant and sat up slowly, circulating his inner energy to heal his injuries.
When Li Qingxiao walked to the entrance of the hall, everyone who was here had already dissipated. Maybe they had all left through the main hall door.
He looked at the distant mountain peaks, the white clouds in the sky, and the occasional birds flying by, and felt a sense of tranquility that he had never experienced before.
After standing there for a long time, he returned to the hall, packed up his magic weapon, and looked at it carefully with the scimitar in his hand. It felt very comfortable.
He circulated his true energy and slowly poured it into the scimitar. The scimitar rose into the air and hissed.
Suddenly, he pointed with his left hand, and the scimitar flew out with extremely fast speed, piercing various barriers in the air.
In a moment, there was only a loud "bang" sound, and a seat in the center of the hall had turned into powder.
Li Qingxiao was extremely happy in his heart. His speed was faster than a knife, and his lethality was astonishing. No wonder he said he could kill enemies thousands of miles away and fly in the nine heavens. It seemed that what he said was true.
But how do you achieve this flying sword? By the way, the Scimitar Technique is in Duan WuBan's hand. Now that Duan WuBan is dead, I really don't know where to find the Scimitar Technique.
However, he was already very satisfied, as long as he could kill the enemy and defend himself, it was better than anything else.
Zhang Kai was interrupted by a loud noise and found that his injuries had improved slightly due to the injection of Li Qingxiao's Qi. As long as he had time to calm down and take care of himself, he believed that he would recover soon.
He simply stood up slowly, walked to Li Qingxiao, clasped his fists and said, "Thank you, senior, for saving me. Junior Zhang Kait came to plead guilty and ask for punishment from senior."
Li Qingxiao was confused by Zhang Kai's sudden words. The first sentence was okay, but the second sentence was about asking for forgiveness and punishment. How to start talking about it?
Seeing Li Qingxiao's confused look, Zhang Kai explained: "This junior was originally a member of the Jingyi Sect, but now he has become a prisoner, and he is willing to be punished by his seniors."
After listening to this, Li Qingxiao suddenly realized that this was exactly like the ancient times, where one person committed a crime and implicated nine clans.
There is always a life-long slave or something like that. This Jingyimen is really a weird thing. How old is it?
He suddenly thought of something. Although those Jingyi disciples who escaped had a broken arm, they still had some cultivation. Would they take the opportunity to rob ordinary people?
Thinking of this, he couldn't help but feel a sinking feeling in his heart. It was because he had been too negligent. He usually cared about the common people in the world, but now he was so confused.
He immediately stood up, put away his machete, and walked out of the hall quickly. Zhang Kai didn't know what was going on, so he followed closely and asked in a low voice: "Senior, is there anything I can ask this junior to do?"
"I have something that needs your help. I will immediately summon all the disciples of the Jingyi Sect to gather in the main hall. The time is one stick of incense. If you exceed the deadline, you will be responsible for the consequences." Li Qingxiao said.
"Yes, senior, junior, I will do it immediately." After saying that, Zhang Kai picked up the sword and quickly walked out of the hall.
Li Qingxiao was not at ease and quickly walked out of the hall. No one could be seen along the road, not even the farmers in the cornfield were missing.
At this time, he saw two figures emerging from the cornfield on one side. The two people Li Qingxiao knew were the old man and the little girl named Hong'er whom he had met before.
Seeing the two people walking towards him, Li Qingxiao hurriedly greeted them.
"The humble slaves Mushan and Hong'er thank their benefactors for saving their lives." The old man said that he was about to kneel down. Li Qingxiao quickly stopped him and asked: "Grandpa, when I came here there were many people here, why is it so empty now? Not a single pedestrian could be seen.”
"Manager Hong said that you are a murderous maniac. You will kill one person on sight, and two pairs on sight. He called on all citizens, civilians, and slaves to unite and fight against the outside world. He also appointed a man named Zhao Xingfeng as the new sect leader. Assisted by him personally.”
"Everyone in the Jingyi Sect followed Manager Hong and hid in the thorn ridge south of the mine. Hong'er and I have met you and know in our hearts that you are not the person they said you are. Hong'er and I are unwilling to leave. So he hid." The old man said carefully.
After hearing this, Li Qingxiao felt extremely depressed. This Jingyi Sect really has everything. That Manager Hong wants to be the head of the sect, why is he slandering his reputation? It's really abominable.
"Where is that Thorny Ridge?" Li Qingxiao asked hurriedly.
"Bramble Ridge is... a place of exile. Anyone who makes a big mistake, or is the leader of the tribe here, will be exiled to Thorn Ridge and left to fend for themselves." The old man said with a sigh.
"The original tribe leader?" Li Qingxiao asked with a confused look on his face.
"My benefactor, you don't know something. More than ten years ago, there was a tribe called Taoyuan Village. Everyone was equal, and their food and clothing expenses were balanced. Men farmed and women weaved, and they were self-sufficient. They also practiced the kung fu handed down from their ancestors. The method is to strengthen the body, and some of its methods are used to study the preparation of pills for treating diseases and injuries."
"I never thought that a tribesman sent by the tribe to exchange items would be assassinated on the way. The assassin disguised himself as a tribesman and sneaked into my tribe with a jade pass."
"This person is Duan Wuren. After he came in, he observed for a few days and found that the cultivation of the warriors in my tribe was only to strengthen their bodies. So he openly challenged them and carried out massacres. All those who resisted, regardless of men, women, old or young, Kill them all.”
"Those tribal leaders who surrendered were either exiled or given life-long servitude. Later, Duan Wuren recruited a group of warriors from outside. They were all from Jingyi Sect in the Yellow River Basin, so he directly changed the name of Taoyuan Village Tribe to Jingyi Sect. One door." The old man said, as if he was recalling those sweet but unbearable years.
Li Qingxiao finally understood what was going on. It turned out that this place was occupied by outsiders. No wonder they implemented such a cruel and inhumane rule.
When he was about to ask more questions, Zhang Kai hurried over with Yang Tongyu and said in panic:
"Senior, something bad has happened. Representatives of various sects were killed one by one by Manager Hong. Some civilians who were unwilling to leave were also killed. The rest were coerced by Manager Hong and rushed to Thorn Ridge."
"What's the background of Manager Hong?" Li Qingxiao asked doubtfully.
"No one knows Guanshi Hong's real name. We usually call him Hong San. I heard that he came from the Yellow River Basin with Duan Wuren. This person is a person of low profile. Judging from his method of killing representatives of various sects, Look, it’s at least a mid-level cultivation level,” Zhang Kai said.
"Which of you knows the way to Thorn Ridge? I need to set off immediately." Li Qingxiao asked eagerly.
"Senior, Tong Yu and I can lead the way." Zhang Kai said quickly.
"By the way, Hong'er, do you know Bing'er and Nashi?" Li Qingxiao suddenly remembered these two people and looked at Hong'er and asked.
"Of course we know each other. They are lifelong slaves. My status is not high. We often played together when we were young." Hong'er said happily.
"Okay, Hong'er, let me ask you something: after we leave, you go to the cave leading to the outside world. When you see a mountain spring, go inside, then turn left, and you will find Bing'er and Nashi. .You can take them out and wait for me to come back."
"Benefactor, just go ahead and get busy. Hong'er and I will definitely take care of these little things." Before Hong'er could answer, Mushan said first.
Li Qingxiao glanced at Mu Shan gratefully and said, "Thank you very much." After that, he went on the road with Zhang Kai and Yang Tongyu.
On the way, Yang Tongyu pouted and muttered: "Manager Hong, you did a great job this time. Everything that could be taken away was taken away, and everything that could not be taken away was smashed and burned."
Zhang Kai sighed and said: "We can't compete with these old Jingyi sect disciples like them when it comes to intrigues. But Tong Yu, you must listen to Senior Li more in the future."
"Master..." Yang Tongyu pouted and glanced at Li Qingxiao, as if there was something he couldn't say in front of Li Qingxiao.
When Li Qingxiao saw Yang Tongyu's expression, he simply changed the subject and said, "How long does it take to get to Thorn Ridge?"
Zhang Kai said respectfully: "It will take about an hour. However, it didn't take long for Hong San to take so many people with him. As long as we speed up our pace, we can definitely catch up halfway."
Li Qingxiao said: "Then I will take the first step, and you can just try your best to catch up."
