Chapter 495: Evil Bandits
No one spoke for the whole night. After dawn, the Ding and Wu families gathered together and set off again.
There was no movement in the chariots of the immortal masters of both sides, and the mortals did not dare to disturb them rashly. They only reported and then rode their horses carefully to clear the way.
Ding Jin and Wu Peng were still talking happily, but after the meeting of the immortal masters of both sides last night, Wu Peng's expression became obviously arrogant, and his words were mostly about how immortal and powerful "Master Gu Fang" was.
Ding Jin could only smile vaguely. Although the Ding family was stronger than the Wu family, he was not as lucky as the other party to invite the high-level immortal master of Shangqing Temple as a worshiper.
"Brother Ding, don't be discouraged. Our two families are of the same blood. Since Wu has the honor to invite Master Gu Fang, he will naturally take care of your Ding family. Brother Ding, you only need to go with me to Hanyue City to ensure your safety." Wu Peng laughed loudly, and he seemed very happy.
Ding Jin coughed dryly, and it was difficult to refute the other party, so he could only smile and bow to thank him, but the smile looked somewhat forced.
Wu Peng could not see that the other party was unhappy, but the more so, the more he felt happy. The two sides had been fighting openly and secretly for many years, and the Wu family had always suffered the most. Now it was not easy to get back on the issue of offering sacrifices to the immortal master, and it was naturally painful and happy.
The more he thought about it, the more Wu Peng smiled, and his interest became more high. He boasted about the reputation of the "Gufang Taoist Priest" again.
The "Gufang Taoist Priest" was sitting in the carriage. When he heard Wu Peng praising himself so much outside, a trace of pride flashed across his face, but he sat upright and did not speak, quite like a Taoist.
However, some people were happy and some were worried. In the Ding family's motorcade, Lu Qing looked back at Ye Chunyang's chariot from time to time, and then looked at his frustrated father. He seemed to have something to say, but in the end he did not say a word.
In the chariot, Ye Chunyang sat cross-legged with his eyes closed, indifferent to the outside world, and only focused on practicing the skills to stabilize the true energy in his body to prevent the injury from worsening.
But not long after walking, there was a rumbling sound of horse hooves in front, and then both caravans stopped. The chariot of the "Master Gu Fang" could not stop and suddenly stopped.
"What's going on?"
"Master Gu Fang" was meditating and was suddenly disturbed. He couldn't help but lift the curtain and shouted angrily.
"Master, calm down. There is a group of people blocking the way ahead. I will send someone to find out the situation." Wu Peng bowed repeatedly.
"Why don't you go quickly!" "Master Gu Fang" was extremely angry and roared in a bad mood.
Ye Chunyang naturally heard the movement.
He woke up from meditation, lifted the curtain and looked, and saw that 20 or 30 people appeared not far ahead, all of them were ruthless and full of murderous aura, and stopped their two caravans in place.
"Come on, go and find out where the other party came from." Wu Peng waved his hand to his subordinates.
A sturdy young man took the order and stepped out, riding his horse towards the team in front, and then stopped a few meters away from the other party, and said loudly: "We are from the Ding and Wu families, and we are going to Hanyue City to participate in the Immortal Fate Meeting...ah!"
Before he finished speaking, a cold light suddenly flashed, and then with a "puff", the sturdy young man fell off the horse, blood spurted out of his neck, and his head flew high, and he was killed on the spot.
The pupils of the Ding and Wu families shrank, and they tightened their weapons one by one, with a cold look.
These people killed one of them without asking the reason, obviously they had bad intentions.
"Who is in charge here?"
A careless word came from the opposite side, and a leather-clad, burly man glanced at the Ding and Wu families, with a bit of teasing in his expression.
"I am Ding Jin and Wu Peng, the heads of two families. I wonder who you are and why you want to kill our disciples?"
Ding Jin and Wu Peng walked out with gloomy faces.
"Ding and Wu families? I am Shao Kuang. Leave your tribute materials and you can go." The strong man was a little surprised, then glanced at the two and said lightly.
"Jinming Mountain Shao Kuang?" Ding and Wu's faces changed slightly when they heard this.
"Hehe, it seems that you have some knowledge. Do you know what to do if you want to survive?" The strong man showed a cruel smile.
The two were shocked. Jinming Mountain is the only way to Hanyue City. They have naturally heard of Shao Kuang's name. This man is a famous robber on the mountain. In the past years, countless tribute teams were burned, killed and looted by them. Even some family forces escorted by immortal cultivators were robbed by them, and few were left alive.
I didn't expect to be so unlucky to meet this notorious bandit.
"What? Looks like I'm going to do it myself?"
Seeing that the two didn't say anything, Shao Kuang pulled out a long knife from his back and patted it on the horse's back, with murderous intent flashing in his eyes.
Wu Peng's face changed wildly. Although he boasted that he had good martial arts, Shao Kuang was a well-known thug within a few miles, and the other party had a large number of people. If they really started fighting, I'm afraid he wouldn't have much chance of winning.
But he was not panicked. After looking at the opposite side, he sneered: "Shao Kuang, my Wu family has a fairy master escorting you. If you want to attack us, you'd better weigh yourself first. If you leave early, Wu can forget about you killing my disciples just now."
"Really? I wonder which fairy master is here? Shao would like to see him." Shao Kuang raised his eyebrows and looked at the Wu family's group, looking quite curious.
Wu Peng frowned, as if this madman was not afraid after hearing that he had a fairy master escorting him.
"You little thief is so arrogant that you dare to block my way. Are you looking for death?"
As soon as Shao Kuang finished speaking, a cold and angry voice came from the Wu family's chariot, and a monk wearing a Taoist robe walked out. Who could he be if it wasn't "Taoist Master Gu Fang"?
This person waved his fly whisk, clasped the seal with one hand, and recited "Immeasurable Heavenly Lord" in his mouth. Then he glanced at Shao Kuang and said: "I am a poor Taoist, Master Qingguan Gufang. I hope that you, a mortal, will not care about you. I am poor now." Dao has not changed his mind yet, and he can still escape within three breaths. Once the time limit passes, don't blame Pindao for being ruthless. "
Feeling the majesty of "Taoist Master Gufang", Wu Peng couldn't help but straighten his back and smiled confidently.
Shao Kuang narrowed his eyes and glanced at "Taoist Master Gu Fang". He was unmoved by his threat and instead looked away with a slight smile on his face.
"Haha! Who am I telling you? It turns out to be the little Taoist priest from Shangqingguan. His tone is really quite impressive!"
Just when Shao Kuang looked around, a sharp sneer sounded next to him, and then a black shadow flickered, and a middle-aged man in black stood up. This man had sunken eyes, slender eyebrows, and an alarming look all over his body. His aura turned out to be an immortal cultivator.
"Taoist Master Gu Fang" looked at this man with a surprised look on his face.
With his cultivation level, he couldn't tell how deep this middle-aged man was. There were only two explanations for this. One was that the other person was simply a mortal, and the other was that this man's cultivation level was far better than his own. Judging from the aura emitted by the other party at this time, "Taoist Master Gu Fang" is more inclined to the latter.
However, "Taoist Master Gufang" was used to being respected by others, and he did not want to be inferior in front of others, so he said arrogantly: "Who are you? I have never met you, since I am a fellow Taoist." It’s a bit off-putting, you’d better retreat on your own.”
The expressions on both sides of Ding and Wu changed several times. They did not expect that among Shao Kuang's group of villains, there was actually a cultivator of immortals. Moreover, the tone of "Taoist Master Gu Fang" seemed to be a little afraid of this person. The latter was one of their If this person is relied upon in a line and cannot be defeated, it will be in trouble.
"Hmph! Shangqingguan is not even a third-rate sect. You, a stinky Taoist priest with half a bucket of water, dare to jump out and be arrogant. You simply don't know how to live or die. I will count to three times and kneel down to beg for mercy. Otherwise, I will definitely find an opportunity. Burn your Taoist temple and destroy your whole family!"
As soon as the middle-aged man opened his mouth, he burned down the Taoist temple and killed everyone in the house. It can be said that he was extremely arrogant.
"Taoist Master Gu Fang" was naturally extremely angry, but before he could speak, he almost spat out a mouthful of blood.
As the middle-aged man spoke, a powerful aura suddenly erupted, and waves of light swept around him. The mortals in the field couldn't bear it, and they all fell back with groans and bleeding from their mouths and noses.
"Foundation-building monk!"
"Taoist Master Gu Fang"'s pupils shrank suddenly, seeing that this person's aura had actually reached the foundation of Taoism.
The expressions of the Ding and Wu families changed again and again, and they couldn't help but look at "Taoist Master Gu Fang", who actually stood still and didn't look panicked.
Seeing this, the two of them immediately calmed down. It seemed that although the middle-aged man had a high level of cultivation, it seemed that the Taoist priest also had some skills.
But how did they know that at this time, "Taoist Master Gu Fang" was already sweating profusely, and his heart was twitching. He was extremely frightened, and he was just holding on.
The Taoist Priest was filled with regret and cursed secretly that he shouldn't have come forward. He thought that the master of their Shangqing Temple was only in the early stages of foundation building, so he was no match for this middle-aged man.
It's just that after enjoying the admiration of so many mortals in recent days, he couldn't bring himself to beg for mercy.
Opposite him, Shao Kuang sneered, and when the middle-aged man saw that "Taoist Master Gu Fang" had not moved, his expression darkened little by little, and he began to count in his mouth.
"one."
"two."
"three……"
At the end of the words, the murderous intention is revealed.
"Spare your life!"
How could "Taoist Master Gufang" still hold on? Before the other party could finish his words, he knelt on the ground with a plop, raised his pale face, and slapped himself repeatedly: "The villain has eyes but cannot recognize Mount Tai." , I don’t know that senior is here, I really deserve to die, I will leave now and I won’t hinder senior in any way!”
Shao Kuang and his party laughed.
"Immortal Master, you!"
Everyone was stunned, and Wu Peng's face was livid. Just now he was boasting about his magical powers in front of Ding Jin, and now he was kowtowing and begging for mercy in just a few seconds. The contrast was really unexpected.
After finishing his words, "Taoist Master Gu Fang" stood up with a smile on his face until his face was swollen, and prepared to flee without even looking at Wu Peng and others.
"Wait a minute."
The middle-aged man suddenly raised his hand.
"Senior, do you have any other instructions?" "Taoist Master Gu Fang" said with a flattering smile.
"It's nothing, it's just that I have changed my mind now. Besides, you said you should die, so I might as well just let you go." The middle-aged man showed a joking smile, and suddenly stretched out his finger, and rainbow light shimmered on it, pointing straight towards "Lonely Man" "Taoist Master Fang" shot out in front of his forehead.
"Senior, spare your life!"
"Taoist Master Gufang" changed his face in shock, and quickly cast spells to resist, but no matter how he was the opponent of the foundation-building monk, he only heard a soft "chi" sound, and a blood hole was pierced between the eyebrows of the Taoist priest, and his body stood upright. fell down.
