Chapter 378 Can’t run away

After the four of them distributed the spiritual objects, they boarded Duan Xueyi's flying boat again and left the swamp and headed south quickly.

On the way back this time, although there were still occasional attacks by flying monsters, because the road was much more familiar than when we came here, the speed of the flying boat was also accelerated a lot, and it only took seven days to completely get out of the Fuyun Mountains.

This trip to the Fuyun Mountains, not only did everyone harvest a lot of spiritual objects, but they also didn't encounter any particularly powerful monsters. It was considered very smooth. Therefore, after walking out of the Fuyun Mountains, everyone's faces began to smile.

As monks in the foundation building stage, although they are much richer than the monks in the Qi Refining stage, the consumption required for daily practice is also several times that of ordinary Qi Refining stage monks. They can earn thousands of coins from a trip. How could Lingshi not make them happy?

After arriving at a place more than ten miles away from Guiyunfang, Duan Xueyi took the initiative to stop the flying boat under his feet, while Song Qingming and Fang Wuqian jumped directly from it.

"Fellow Taoists, further ahead is Fangshi. There are many people there, so we sent them here."

"Haha! You're welcome, Fairy Duan. Have a good trip, you two. We'll see you again someday."

"Good journey!"

Song Qingming and Fang Wuqian cupped their hands towards Duan Xueyi and Gao Yuyao who were above the flying boat. The flying boat turned into a white light and quickly disappeared in mid-air.

After the two fairies left, Fang Wuqian turned to Song Qingming and asked: "Fellow Daoist Song, I have to go to Guiyunfang to deal with the corpses of these monsters. You have to come with me!"

Facing Fang Wuqian's initiative, Song Qingming shook his head without hesitation and said: "When I went out this time, I told the clan that I would go back in more than half a month at most. Now that the day is almost here, I won't live here anymore." What a delay.

Next time, if fellow Taoist Fang has the opportunity to come to Qinghe County, he must come to Funiu Mountain to sit down and fulfill his friendship as a landlord. "

"That's fine! Then take care of yourself, fellow Taoist Song, and I'll take the first step." After Fang Wuqian finished speaking, he smiled and exchanged hands with Song Qingming, then stepped on his flying sword and went straight to Guiyunfang.

After seeing Fang Wuqian turn into a ray of blue light and disappear from his eyes, Song Qingming took out the green robe and bamboo hat he was wearing when he came here, put it directly on himself, carefully covering his face, and then summoned a secret The red flying sword left here with the light of the sword.

Somewhat strangely, the direction Song Qingming left this time was not the direction he had just mentioned with Fang Wuqian to Qinghe County, but all the way north into the Fuyun Mountains again.

After flying north for two days with his sword, Song Qingming came to a relatively deserted hill and found a remote place. After simply setting up a magic circle, he planned to rest here for a while and recover some mana before starting again. On the way.

Half an hour later, when Song Qingming was concentrating on closing his eyes and meditating to recover his mana, several fast-moving spiritual lights suddenly appeared on the originally quiet horizon, approaching the hill where Song Qingming was.

These auras of different colors were of different colors. Among them, a red light flew the fastest. When it arrived not far from Song Qingming's position, it immediately stopped and revealed a charming man in red clothes with a folding fan in his hand.

Not far behind him, two spiritual lights, one yellow and one white, followed, flew to the side of the man in red, and immediately transformed into an old man in yellow and a somewhat delicate-looking scholar in white robes.

After the man in red stopped, he quickly circled around the hill and returned to the other two people.

The old man in yellow stepped forward and said to the man in red: "Senior Brother Hong, how are you? Didn't you find that kid?"

"Hmph! The place where the psychic bead was displayed just now is right here. It should be hidden near this hill. It's just that this kid seems to have used some hiding method to hide. It seems that it will take some effort." After the man in red finished speaking, he took out a green bead from his waist and looked at it carefully.

"Since he's here, he can't escape. Let's split up and search carefully. We're not afraid of not being able to find that kid." After the old man in yellow finished speaking, he took the lead and flew down to the side of the hill, and slowly began to search at a close distance. .

The man in red standing in the sky exchanged glances with the scholar in white robes, and then each chose a direction and fell towards the hill.

What just happened in mid-air also fell into the eyes of Song Qingming who was hiding on the side of the hill. At this moment, after seeing these people appear, his face was already full of doubts.

Song Qingming had actually seen the man in red and the old man in yellow who had just arrived here before. These two people were none other than Li Yungong and other Xiaoyao Sect monks during the chaotic battle in the underground cave of Black Stone Valley a year ago. Fighting demon cultivators.

There was only one other Confucian scholar in white. Song Qingming had probably never seen him before. Judging from his stature, he was smaller and smaller, and he didn't look like the third demon cultivator who escaped that day.

Although he didn't hear what these demonic cultivators said while talking in mid-air, Song Qingming knew very well that on this hill where monsters were rampant and desolate and populated, when the three men in red appeared here, there was a high probability that they would rush towards them. They came with him, but he didn't know when he leaked his whereabouts and was targeted by them.

This time he entered the Fuyun Mountains alone. Song Qingming not only hid his face, but also took a very cautious route. Even if he saw Qi Refining Stage monks passing by below, he tried his best to avoid attracting their attention. Logically speaking, it was impossible. It would be such a coincidence that he would be targeted by the demon cultivator.

After quickly reviewing his whereabouts along the way, Song Qingming still couldn't find a trace of the problem that caused him to be targeted, and he couldn't help but frown on his face.

Fortunately, he had already become accustomed to setting up magic circles to conceal his aura while resting in the wild, otherwise Song Qingming would have exposed his hiding position just when the man in red found the hill.

Although Song Qingming's cultivation has now reached the seventh level of foundation building, this time the opponent suddenly came to three foundation building stage demon cultivators. In addition to the man in red who had reached the peak cultivation level of the ninth level of foundation building, the old man in yellow and the scholar in white were all With the fifth or sixth level of foundation building, once surrounded by these three people, Song Qingming would definitely find it difficult to escape.

At the moment, he can still rely on the magic circle to cover his aura, but facing the three demon cultivators who are pressing closer, Song Qingming also knows that it will be a matter of time before he is exposed, and he must find a way to escape quickly.

While searching on the east side of the hill, the Confucian scholar in white who was closest to Song Qingming's position was named Ye Shujie. This demon, like Yang Wuqi who was beheaded by Chen Xuanxin decades ago, was a native demon cultivator in the Wei Kingdom and was not the same disciple of the man in red.

In his early years, Ye Shujie was born in a recently declining foundation-building family in Cangbai County in the northern part of the Wei Kingdom. After his family ancestors passed away more than a hundred years ago, they lost their greatest protection because of the interruption of the inheritance of foundation-building monks. In addition, the new patriarch He was also a cowardly and not decisive person, and soon his family was targeted by other nearby immortal cultivating families.

In less than ten years, the Ye family has completely transformed from a foundation-building immortal clan to a target that even the nearby Qi Refining families dare to bully.

Therefore, many good-hearted Ye family monks could not bear the gap and chose to leave the family to join other forces, or became casual cultivators and left Cangbai County. Ye Shujie was also one of them.

Ye Shujie left Cangbai County for more than ten years, and he didn't know what kind of opportunities he encountered outside. When he returned to the Ye family more than ten years later, he had not only converted to martial arts and joined the magic path, but he had also successfully established a foundation.

After this demon established its foundation, he was very low-key at first, always pretending to be an ordinary monk in the Qi refining period, and rarely used demonic evil skills to harm people, so that no one among the dozens of monks in the Ye family knew what this person looked like. Simple, a former fellow monk turned out to be a terrifying demon cultivator.

However, as time passed, Ye Shujie still accidentally exposed his flaws. A monk from the Ye family discovered that something was wrong with him, and secretly informed other clan members to prepare to capture him.

Seeing that his identity had been exposed, Ye Shujie also revealed his true ruthless nature and showed no mercy to his own bloodline. In one night, the foundation-building demon killed more than a dozen Ye family monks who came to arrest him. , and ran away directly.

His trouble quickly attracted the attention of the Xiaoyao Sect. Since then, Ye Shujie has become a foundation-building demon on the wanted list of the Xiaoyao Sect in Weiguo.

However, Ye Shujie is also well aware of the power of the Xiaoyao Sect. He has also been living in seclusion during these years of hiding and does not dare to attract the attention of the Xiaoyao Sect at will.

A year ago, two men in red were injured by Xiaoyao Sect monks led by Li Yungong and fled the Black Stone Valley. However, the two demon cultivators did not leave Weiguo immediately, but secretly hid in a place to heal their injuries.

Once when the man in red went out to look for something to heal his wounds, he happened to run into Ye Shujie who was secretly catching prey on the road. In order to have a helper in Weiguo, the man in red took the initiative to approach him and promised Ye Shujie many benefits. Finally, he successfully took him under his command.

This time Ye Shujie followed the man in red to the depths of the Fuyun Mountains. He only knew that he was going to deal with a late-stage foundation-building monk. Several people followed him all the way. In order to find Song Qingming as soon as possible, they had to separate.

After so many years of hiding, Ye Shujie had already become accustomed to being cautious. While he slowly and carefully scanned his surroundings, he secretly prayed that he had better not run into Song Qingming.

Although Ye Shujie also broke through to the foundation building stage very early, after building the foundation for nearly a hundred years, his cultivation has not yet broken through to the late stage of foundation building. It can be seen that his talent in practicing magic skills is far less than that of Yang Wuqi, whom Song Qingming met back then. In a fight, he was far from Song Qingming's opponent.

But many times, things always come to you when you are afraid of them. When Ye Shujie came to a mountain wall, a white light suddenly flashed in front of his eyes, and a cyan figure sprang out from the empty place beside him, holding a black silver in his hand. The knife quickly struck Ye Shujie's neck.

Seeing this sudden sneak attack, Ye Shujie, who had been on guard for a long time, quickly raised a cyan jade ruler above his head and opened a cyan shield in front of him.

After the black silver knife in Song Qingming's hand struck the green shield, although the shield showed a trace of cracks, it failed to cut through it directly, and a trace of surprise appeared on his face.

Unexpectedly, the white-clothed Confucian scholar was not only cautious in character, but also had a good defensive weapon on his body, which could actually block the swift and violent attack he had been preparing for a long time.

But just when Song Qingming was about to praise Ye Shujie, the jade ruler in his hand suddenly broke into two pieces with a pop, and the green shield slowly dissipated in the air.

Fortunately, the jade ruler helped block Song Qingming's fatal blow, and also bought Ye Shujie some time, allowing him to successfully move back and avoid the remaining power after the black silver knife in Song Qingming's hand smashed the cyan shield.

"Fellow Daoist Hong, he is here, hurry up."

After dodging Song Qingming's blow, Ye Shujie hurriedly shouted into the distance, but before he could finish speaking, Song Qingming's second blow had already arrived in front of him, forcing him to step forward and confront Song Qingming. Handed over.

Although Ye Shujie has been practicing for many years, he does not have a magic weapon as powerful as the magic sword refined by Yang Wuqi. The only most powerful one, the blue jade ruler, was destroyed by Song Qingming just now.

Song Qingming, who faced him, wanted to fight quickly and launched his two most powerful magic weapons, the black silver sword and the blue water bell. Ye Shujie, who was quickly beaten, could only retreat step by step without the ability to fight back.

Soon, after only a dozen moves, Ye Shujie was knocked aside by the Bishui Bell operated by Song Qingming, and there was no way to stop him.

After repelling Ye Shujie, Song Qingming could already hear the man in red shouting angrily from far away. He quickly took out his flying sword and flew away without looking back.

After the man in red and the old man in yellow arrived at the battlefield, Ye Shujie, who had fallen on the ground, slowly stood up and spat out a mouthful of blood, looking as if he was seriously injured.

"Chase! He can't run away." The man in red looked at the direction in which Song Qingming was leaving. He glanced at Song Qingming who was escaping in the air with some teasing eyes, and immediately chased after him.

The old man in yellow on the side threw a pill to Ye Shujie, who was still looking a little unhappy. After he took it, the two of them followed up with the magic weapon together.

Looking at the man in red who had caught up not far behind him, Song Qingming quickly added more magic power to the wind-controlling boots under his feet and flew with his sword with all his strength, always maintaining the fastest speed.

The man in red turned into a ball of red light. Although he was faster than Song Qingming at first, when he caught up not far behind Song Qingming, his speed slowly slowed down, but he still kept not far behind. .

"This guy still dares to go north. He really doesn't care about life and death. Let's see how far you can run!"

Seeing that Song Qingming did not choose to go south and continued to walk to the north where high-level monsters were rampant, the man in red couldn't help but have a trace of ridicule on his lips. In his opinion, Song Qingming would not be able to hold on for long if he desperately used his magic power to travel. As long as you maintain a good pursuit speed, it should only be a matter of time before you catch the opponent.
