After saying that, he used Qinggong, jumped up, and flew forward on the pines and cypresses along the roadside. In the blink of an eye, he had disappeared.
Looking at Li Qingxiao's disappearing back, Yang Tongyu opened his mouth and said in disbelief:
"Master, there is a flying light skill in the world. I only heard about it before, but today I saw it with my own eyes."
"Tong Yu, the master just gave you a hint, why didn't you tell me, this is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity." Zhang Kai said regretfully.
"Master, you are the only master in my disciple's heart. I can't live without you." Yang Tongyu lowered his head and murmured.
"I can't give you some advice, Li. Senior Li's cultivation is unfathomable. If you don't fight for it now, I'm afraid you won't have a chance in the future." Zhang Kai said with some regret.
"Master, I think this is good. I don't like to cling to others." Yang Tongyu said with a smile.
"This is not a clinging, it is your opportunity. If you can practice with Senior Li for a year and a half, it will be of great help to your cultivation."
"Master, I understand, I just can't let you go."
"It depends on your chances. There are some things you have to make choices about."
The two of them exchanged words with each other and continued to move forward. After Li Qingxiao performed Qing Gong, his speed became faster and faster.
Soon, he saw a group of people walking in front of him, about four to five hundred people in front and behind: some were pushing carts; some were holding bedding; some were holding children...
They supported each other and looked around as they walked, their backs soaked with sweat.
Li Qingxiao speculated that this must be a resident of Jingyi Sect. He opened his spiritual consciousness and it spread out:
There were several carriages driving in front, and there were several people sitting on the carriages, including men and women. They were cracking melon seeds, drinking tea, and eating snacks, while two maidservants were waiting on them.
Seeing this, Li Qingxiao quickened his pace. After a while, he came to the road, stopped the first carriage, and said sternly: "Who is Manager Hong?"
"Go away, you don't have eyes. This is a special car belonging to the Jingyi Sect. Anyone who intercepts the special car will die!" A yellow-level warrior said arrogantly.
However, as soon as he finished speaking, a knife shadow flashed past, one of his arms had fallen, and then his painful wails were heard.
The carriages in front suddenly stopped, and a middle-aged man got out of the third carriage. He was wearing a purple robe and holding a long sword in his hand. He walked up to Li Qingxiao and said, "You are Li Qingxiao." ?”
"Yes, are you Manager Hong?" Li Qingxiao asked.
"Yes, I am. You are a murderous maniac, don't you even let these innocent civilians go?" Manager Hong said righteously.
As soon as he finished speaking, two people stepped out of the second carriage. The woman was middle-aged, beautiful in appearance, and dressed in lotus-colored clothes, which further highlighted her slender figure.
The boy was about seven or eight years old. He had a strong childlike aura and was innocent, especially his twinkling eyes. He was a little frightened when he saw Li Qingxiao.
Manager Hong pulled the boy over and said, "This is our new Jingyi Sect leader Zhao Xingfeng. I, the Jingyi Sect, did not offend you, but Duan Wuren was the one who offended you. Since he is already dead, why are you still so miserable?" force."
As soon as these words were said, the crowd began to talk for a while, and the eyes looking at Li Qingxiao were obviously filled with fear and some hatred.
Li Qingxiao waved the knife in his hand before speaking. I saw two teenagers standing in front of Zhao Xingfeng and yelling at Li Qingxiao:
"The master treats us with great kindness. If he wants to kill our master, he must kill us first, otherwise there is no chance."
Li Qingxiao took a closer look at the two young men. They were dressed decently and cleanly, but judging from the mark of the word "Liu" on their faces, there was no doubt that they were lifelong slaves.
Compared to Bing'er and Nashi, this master was indeed very kind to them.
"Yes, if you want to kill our sect master, you must first step over our corpse."
A middle-aged man said, and several men echoed. After speaking, they walked towards Li Qingxiao with shovels.
At this time, several maidservants also came out and stood next to the middle-aged beautiful woman, looking like they would protect their master to the death.
What made Li Qingxiao even more puzzled was that the poor people walking behind also echoed, asking Li Qingxiao to go away quickly. They also vowed to defend the sect owner and their homeland to the death.
Looking at this situation, Li Qingxiao felt a headache. Have these people been slaves for a long time and have become a habit and don't want to change?
An imperceptible sinister smile appeared on Manager Hong's face. This was all part of his plan. As long as he brought these people to Thorny Ridge, even the King of Heaven would not be able to do anything to him.
"Haha, very good. Mr. Li has learned a lesson from Manager Hong's clever move. But I need an explanation. Why were the representatives of the various sects killed? Why were the residents who were unwilling to leave killed?" Li Qingxiao asked sharply.
"Humph, the various sects are obstructing our sect's relocation and interfering in our sect's internal affairs, so they must be killed; the residents who are unwilling to leave, have ulterior motives and betray the sect, must be killed," Manager Hong said plausibly.
"Then if you do this, you are not killing innocent people indiscriminately?" Li Qingxiao continued to ask.
"I am doing justice for heaven. For the sake of the well-being of the people I sent, I will not hesitate to sacrifice my life." Manager Hong said righteously.
Li Qingxiao really admired Manager Hong's sophistry ability. Just as he was about to speak, he heard Zhang Kai's voice:
"Hong San, others don't know you, I still don't know. You and Duan Wuren also came from Jingyimen in the Yellow River Basin, but you are low-key and many people will not pay attention to you. You have been together for more than ten years. Could it be that the heinous crimes he committed before were just doing justice for God?"
As soon as this sentence was said, there was a commotion in the crowd. Most of them were local residents. Of course they knew everything that happened more than ten years ago. If it was true as Zhang Kai said, then Manager Hong was their enemy.
Moreover, the local residents have already experienced that all outsiders will commit crimes by burning, killing, looting, etc., so they are also wary of Li Qingxiao.
Manager Hong glanced at Zhang Kai and said disdainfully: "The words of a traitor are just to sow discord. Folks, don't believe his lies. He is just a dog of Li Qingxiao. We do not welcome outsiders."
As soon as Manager Hong said his words, the commotion gradually subsided. In the hearts of the residents, the words "outsiders" brought them too much pain and suffering.
"Okay, then please do as you please, I, Li, will no longer try to keep you here."
Seeing everyone like this, Li Qingxiao couldn't bear to take action, so he could only follow behind secretly to see what Manager Hong wanted to do.
"Humph, Li Qingxiao, if you know what you're interested in, leave as soon as possible, otherwise don't blame us for being rude." Manager Hong said coldly.
Li Qingxiao didn't answer, got out of the way and watched them leave.
Zhang Kai and Yang Tongyu looked at Li Qingxiao in confusion. Finally, Yang Tongyu couldn't bear it anymore and asked, "Senior, are you just going to let them go?"
Li Qingxiao shook his head helplessly and said: "There is no way, this manager Hong is really stupid, he actually deceived the residents here to such an extent that they would rather travel thousands of miles than leave their hometown."
"Once bitten by a snake, you will be afraid of well ropes for ten years. I understand them." Zhang Kai looked into the distance and said with emotion.
"You go back first, I'm here, there will be no problem. You go back and gather those who have not left, see if there is any food, and give it to them." Li Qingxiao said.
"Senior, there are many dangerous lands in Thorn Ridge, and poisons can be found everywhere. You should be careful."
After Zhang Kai finished speaking, he took Yang Tongyu and left.
Li Qingxiao opened his consciousness and let it spread out, ensuring that the group of people was always within the scope of his consciousness.
As he walked, he paid attention to every move of the group.
Not long after, I climbed over a barren ridge and saw a valley covered with thorns. The person in the carriage in the group got out of the car and walked in the valley like everyone else.
As they walked deeper into the valley, Manager Hong suddenly stopped and ordered them to rest where they were.
But he turned left and right and entered a cave. Li Qingxiao's consciousness followed closely, and he saw three big characters carved on the entrance of the cave: Python Immortal Cave!
Li Qingxiao couldn't help but be surprised. Could this Manager Hong be a python spirit? His consciousness penetrated into the cave and immediately caught a hint of cold air. The colder air became heavier as he went deeper.
In the hall of the cave, sitting on a huge stone chair, was a beautiful woman in white. Her face was pale and bloodless, as if she had suffered serious internal injuries.
Manager Hong stood in the hall and said with unusual respect: "Mother Fairy Lady, I have brought everyone here, especially the physical body you are looking for. I have found it."
"Oh? Is that the middle-aged woman named Liu Ying?" the beautiful woman in white asked with a frown.
"Yes, the disciple made her son the master of Jingyi Sect and tricked her and all the residents of Jingyi Sect into coming here." Manager Hong said immediately and respectfully.
"Very good, you have done a good job in this matter. This is your reward. This pill can help you advance to Xiantian." The beautiful woman in white said and threw a pill to Manager Hong.
Manager Hong showed greed and joy on his face and thanked him quickly.
After taking the elixir thrown over, he said: "Mother Fairy Lady, I wonder when you will do the thing you promised your disciples to eradicate Li Qingxiao?"
"This immortal has his own sense of proportion. My immortal failed to overcome the tribulation, and my body has begun to rot. Only by finding a suitable body can I cast all the spells. By then, let alone Jing Yimen, you just want the entire Kite City. It’s no big deal.” said the beautiful woman in white.
Manager Hong was extremely happy, and quickly said yes, and continued: "Everyone is waiting outside. Will the disciples bring them in, or will you choose them yourself?"
"I will go and see for myself. A red dot will appear on the forehead of the selected one. When the time comes, just bring these people in, and the rest can go back to where they are." The beautiful woman in white said delicately.
"Yes, disciple, keep this in mind." Manager Hong said with his fists in hand.
When Li Qingxiao heard this, he completely understood in his heart that he brought everyone to this Thorn Ridge not to establish his own business, but just for a snake spirit.
