The inheritance of that Sword Immortal is actually more than a hundred miles away from here!
"It's unimaginable."
Ji Ning sighed lightly.
The land of Beijun has always been barren. At the third stage of strength, he was able to establish a sect and enjoy the incense of the world. Ye Jiu was a powerful man who could cross the long river of demon tribes and kill the holy demons all by himself. He actually left his inheritance with them before he died. here.
"So you came here because of the inheritance?"
"Of course!"
Qi Lan smiled slightly:
"It's not just me, I believe that in the entire world, all the powerful people who can come after hearing the news should have already come."
Ji Ning heard this and asked in shock:
"There are so many people, so how can you rob them?"
Yes, since all the powerful people in the world will come, those high-ranking immortal sects, academies, holy places of cultivation, etc. in the world of cultivation should also send people to come, and maybe even dispatch the ancestors directly.
Compared with those people, both he and Qi Lan are just tiny ants, so how can they win the inheritance?
"Who said we were going to rob it? Can't I just join in the fun?"
Hearing the boy's words, Qi Lan snorted coldly and responded with a stern mouth.
He has always believed that inheritance is a matter of fate. It does not mean that whoever has a higher level will definitely get it.
Otherwise, all the treasures in the world belong directly to that emperor, so why would others snatch them?
"Although I don't use a sword, I always feel that I will be a good hand with a sword."
"Since that senior has passed down his mantle here, he must be waiting for me."
Qi Lan's eyebrows were dancing with joy, leaving Ji Ning speechless for a while.
"By the way, I still don't know your name." On the way, Ji Ning seemed to remember something, and suddenly turned to look at the young man beside him and asked curiously, "Is your name really Qi Lan?"
The young man held the knife and nodded: "Yes."
"Aren't you, a son of a wealthy family like you, afraid of being recognized when you use your real name to roam the world?"
Ji Ning had a look of curiosity on his face. Subconsciously, he regarded Qi Lan's family as one of those cultivation families that had been passed down for thousands of years.
"You are overthinking, no one knows me."
Qi Lan looked at the road ahead and said with a salty smile.
His hometown is not here.
"I am from Tiandu City in Guangyang County. It is one of the few big cities in the Northern Territory. There are countless cultivating forces entrenched there. The Qi family in it can only be regarded as a shabby settlement with a slightly louder name at best."
"Broken residence?" Ji Ning's eyes widened.
The family of a young disciple who carries a fifth-level magic weapon with him when he goes out can actually be regarded as a broken family.
Then what are their Taoist temples, beggars!
"What are you thinking about again?"
Qi Lan glanced at Ji Ning, who had a shocked face, shook his head and sighed helplessly:
"The power in Tiandu City is very strong, but it is not as strong as you think. At least it is still far behind those fairy palaces, holy places of cultivation, academies, etc. The strongest family, the Li family, is no more than the ancestor. It’s just worthy of reaching the Sixth Heavenly Realm.”
"My Qi family has been around for more than three hundred years since the reign of Emperor Hongwu. During its peak period, there were five masters of the Heavenly and Human Realm who ruled Tiandu City together with the Immortal Palace."
"However, the world is easy to change. In the face of the mighty power of time, our Qi family eventually declined. By the time my grandfather's lineage came, the strongest members of the family were only in the fifth realm, and the family was in decline."
"After my grandfather died, my Qi family fell into complete decline. All the property in our hands was divided up by other forces. I and other descendants were incompetent and could only hold on to less than half of it."
Speaking of this, Qi Lan suddenly clenched his fist reluctantly.
He still remembered that he was just ten years old when his grandfather died.
At that time, the family obviously still had some fighting strength. As long as my father and uncles joined forces, they might be able to defend some territory amidst the encirclement and suppression by external forces.
But in the end, those people just cared about the family property left behind by their grandfather, without any fighting spirit. Some even made suggestions for external forces, colluded inside and outside, and forcibly took away a lot of their family's resources.
Fortunately, Grandpa's most precious relic, the fifth-stage magic weapon Cang Gu Bell, is still with him.
In order to prevent Cang Gu Bell from being snatched away by those guys, he decided to travel alone in the world.
Once gone, it’s been many years.
"I don't know when I can go home again."
Qi Lan's eyes were lonely, and his back looked very lonely.
Ji Ning silently patted his back and comforted him:
"It doesn't matter. At least you have a home to return to and revenge to avenge."
"My family was massacred by a group of gangsters when I was very young. I was still young at the time and only had sporadic memories. When I asked my master about the whereabouts of the gangsters, he said he didn't know."
Qi Lan was startled when he heard this, raised his eyebrows and asked:
"Gangster?"
"Although this North County is a little more desolate, it is still within the territory of Daxia after all. How can there be gangsters who dare to break into people's homes in broad daylight and kill their families?"
"You don't understand this." Ji Ning said, thinking of Jiang Chuan in Baiyu Town and the officers and soldiers who were chasing him, he couldn't help but smile coldly and said:
"If the law was truly strict and everyone who made a mistake would be punished, I would not be framed in such a situation."
"Your Qi family's property will not be divided."
Qi Lan was silent for a moment, nodded and said, "It makes sense."
"Although I don't know why the Xuantian Mansion is chasing you, but through these contacts over time, I believe that you are definitely not a bad person."
Ji Ning nodded slightly, his eyes calm.
He was certainly not a bad person, but he was far from good either. After escaping from Whitefish Town, he said goodbye to his former self.
After all, he had killed someone and was no longer a childish boy.
"We all have great vengeance to avenge."
“So we can’t miss that inheritance.”
Ji Ning looked seriously as he stared at the night sky in the distance. Faintly, he seemed to be able to see a steep mountain peak that looked like a dragon's head thrusting into the clouds under the moon hanging high in the sky.
"Even if it's a dragon's pond and a tiger's den, we still have to break into it."
The young man murmured in a low voice and silently clenched his fists.
He didn't know whether the skull of the holy demon in his hand was the last key fragment to open the tomb.
But whether it was true or false, he wanted to go to Longtan Peak to see it.
Qi Lan felt Ji Ning's gaze, and the lonely look in his eyes disappeared, and he also became determined.
He must become stronger and seize more opportunities before he can return to his hometown for revenge as soon as possible, kill those traitors who are adding insult to injury and seeking only profit, and regain his ancestral property!
Ji Ning and Qi Lan looked at each other, smiled slightly, and said nothing more.
We are of the same mind, it would be hypocritical to say any more.
The two figures quickly shuttled through the forest under the moonlight, without encountering any monsters along the way.
Until, before dawn.
Just when Qi Lan and Ji Ning were about to sneak into the camp from the side.
High in the sky, a large net dozens of meters long and wide suddenly fell. The spiritual energy on it was surging, and it was about to cover the two of them.
"Get out of the way!"
Ji Ning's expression changed drastically, and he shouted out almost at the same time as Qi Lan, dodging to the side, escaping by narrow margins.
"It's a demon catching net!"
Qi Lan looked at the large net that fell in front of him, surrounded by countless spiritual energy, and couldn't help but be a little surprised.
He recognized this net. It was one of the magic weapons of Xue Zhongjing, the leader of their adventure team. In the second stage, it was previously used to capture and limit monsters. How could it appear here?
"Something's wrong, we're surrounded!"
While Qi Lan was still thinking in surprise, the next moment, Ji Ning keenly sensed that many strange auras suddenly emerged from the woods in all directions, and there was even a breath that was so powerful that he was stunned. Somewhat out of breath.
Ji Ning's face was pale, looking at the trees in all directions, back to back with Qi Lan.
"Be careful, there is a strong person in the second stage!"
"Um."
Qi Lan looked solemnly and looked around. After discovering that none of them were indeed members of their adventure group, he gritted his teeth and said:
"Only one of my shrunk-to-inch talismans is left. I will call Cang Gu Zhong out later. You can use the talisman to run away first."
"How can this be done!"
Ji Ning didn't even think about rejecting it directly.
How could he abandon Qi Lan and run away alone in the face of a crisis? Although they ran away when the disaster was approaching, he couldn't run away with someone else's talisman. What's going on!
"Don't worry, I still have a way out. If they can't kill me, they will only be half dead at most."
Qi Lan said with a forced smile and a weak voice.
Originally, after the battle with the Pegasus, he suffered some internal injuries and traveled all night, so his recovery was very poor.
However, he can still forcefully burn the essence and blood, activate the Canggu Bell, and smash it down like a big brick, and he will be able to kill some people when the time comes.
"If you want to go, you have to go. You are not the only one who has a way."
Ji Ning's tone was slightly cold, and the starlight shrouded his hands, slowly condensing into substance.
After being fed by Sui Yin Pearl last night, he found that the connection between himself and the saint's body was becoming more and more obvious. When he wanted to gain more power, the starlight on the other person's body would be like spiritual energy. Usually they are gathered by him.
Although it is only a trace, it can still enable him to exert a combat power that is far superior to his own.
Qi Lan looked weak and wanted to continue to persuade him.
Those who were hiding in the dark and setting up ambush slowly walked out of the trees.
When they saw the clothes these people were wearing, Ji Ning and Qi Lan were both stunned at the same time.
"This...this is not..."
"Isn't this what you're wearing?"
Qi Lan looked at Ji Ning next to him in surprise. Although the latter's clothes were extremely tattered, he could still see the vague word "Kui" embroidered on his back.
The words were also embroidered on the clothes of those people surrounded from all sides.
Looking at the tall man with an eagle-like nose at the head, Ji Ning smiled bitterly.
Good and evil will eventually be rewarded, and the book will not deceive me.
"I didn't expect to catch you here."
The leader of the adventure group, Ji Changkui, had a sinister expression and walked forward with a knife, his eagle eyes fixed on Ji Ning's clothes.
"This...aren't these our clothes? Why are they on that kid!"
"Are you stupid? Have you forgotten that we recruited a thief in our camp some time ago? It is said that the thief escaped under the nose of the boss..."
"Ah, I remember, he also stole a lot of our medicinal herbs!"
For a moment, everyone around was talking and then became excited. Looking at the eyes of Ji Ning and the two of them, murderous intent gradually became stronger.
"Everyone, this is all a misunderstanding."
Ji Ning smiled bitterly and held up his hands.
Although these people are not at a high level, they are at least bone practitioners. The ones with the lowest bones are copper bones, and there are many iron bones and silver bones. They are all murderous, even in their positions. Pay attention, at first glance, it is not a temporary organization.
This is a real team.
And the leader of this team is still in the Qi Condensation Realm.
"Boy, your death day has come, do you have any last words?"
The hook-nosed man had an indifferent expression. With a glance, people from all directions surrounded him at the same time. They were protected by spiritual energy and walked in unison, which was a standard way of hunting monsters.
"That matter was indeed my fault. The situation forced me to do so, so please don't mind."
Ji Ning smiled bitterly and said:
"I will double the compensation for those herbs. What do you think?"
"Not really."
"Kill you and everything on you will be ours."
Ji Changkui said with a cold smile.
He didn't want to talk nonsense to Ji Ning, but unified hunting required some time to coordinate. Speaking out was just delaying time to ensure that no accidents would occur.
Ji Ning also thought the same way.
"Do it!"
Without any warning, Ji Ning and Qi Lan suddenly rushed out at the same time without saying a word. One held a golden knife in his hand, and the other fired a terrifying punch. They simultaneously hit a place in the back that had the least number of people and seemed to be the most defensive. Weak spots.
However, in the face of the sudden attack by the two men, the members of this adventure group did not panic at all. They all calmly maintained their ground. Three or three gathered together, the formation was calm, and spiritual energy suddenly surged out.
Boom!
Qi Lan's knife and Ji Ning's fist hit the spiritual energy barrier created by the three people in front of them at the same time. The terrifying physical power and the spiritual energy from the golden blade poured down at the same time, directly shattering the surface of the spiritual energy barrier. There were countless cracks, as if it would break in the next moment.
However, just when the two of them increased their strength in their hands at the same time, they wanted to break through the barrier and escape.
From all directions, a large amount of spiritual energy surged out inexplicably, repairing the weak barrier.
Bang!
Torrential spiritual energy spurted out from the palms of the three men, knocking Ji Ning and Qi Lan back a few steps, causing blood to flow from the corners of their mouths.
"The strength is good, but it's still not enough in front of the big formation that we and I have put up together."
Ji Changkui smiled faintly and raised the knife, his body's spiritual energy surged, and the aura of the Qi Condensation Realm on his body rose to the extreme.
This first attack was purely to test the two people's strength. Now he already knew what level Ji Ning and Qi Lan were at.
Next, it was up to him to kill the two of them with one strike!
"go to hell!"
After two breaths, the surging spiritual energy finally poured into the blade from the body, and then slashed out with a bang, setting off a terrifying wave in the space surrounded by the formation. The sharp sword energy was so huge that there was nowhere to hide. !
At this moment, Ji Ning and Qi Lan looked at each other and prepared to use their strongest moves.
The ancient clock appeared in the palm of his hand, and Ji Ning's body was also shrouded in a little starlight.
At this point, since no one wants to leave, they can only fight to the death!
However, the moment the sword light in the sky was about to fall on their heads.
"Stop it!"
High in the sky, a roar suddenly exploded.
Immediately afterwards, a bright purple light suddenly fell from the sky.
Formation barrier, huge sword light.
Everything turned into smoke and dust in an instant!
