Chapter 1: The Young Man of the Xu Family

Chapter 1: The Young Man of the Xu Family

After the destruction of the Eastern Territory.

That icy-skinned girl is charming, and her slender fingers are gleaming with dexterity. The man with cloudy hair and pretty eyebrows looks even more charming when he looks forward to being washed with clear water.

A white plain hand gently smoothed the wet hair stuck to his forehead. There were still many clear water drops on his arms. The bun on his head was pulled up with a green hair tie, and his crescent-like eyes looked around with smiles. Yan Hong's little mouth was slightly closed, and she stood up from the warm and clear stream. Her close-fitting clothes had already been wetted, and they clung tightly to the girl's body, outlining her soft waist curve.

The girl smoothed her wet black hair with both hands, deliberately turned her face and turned her head to the shore and shouted loudly: "Smelly girl, you got up really fast. Is there a monster in the water that wants to eat you? Hurry up and put some clothes on me." Bring it."

On the shore, a pretty maid who had just put on her coat and skirt, with her hair tied into two braids, curled her lips and said aggrievedly: "Miss, you are the one who stayed in the stream and refused to come out, and you blame others for being slow to come. Now, These are your clothes. They have been sorted for you. Let’s go back quickly. Deacon Wang and Officer Zheng have been waiting outside the woods for a long time.” After saying this, he took the folded set of blue clothes that exuded a light fragrance. Clothes and a clean long towel were handed to the beautiful girl standing in the stream.

The girl's cheeks were slightly red. She took the clothes and spat softly: "Qiu Shui, turn around!" The girl dressed as a maid smiled, turned around and pulled the corner of her clothes with her fingers and muttered: "Miss is still shy. When I go, Letting someone change it for you in the boudoir...why are you so shameless?"

The girl didn't care what she was talking nonsense. She changed out of her wet clothes and dried her body. She came ashore, put on her green dress and tied her hair with a green belt. She looked extremely beautiful.

"Miss, let's go quickly. This time, the master will send someone to take you into Ancient Qingcheng. In the letter, he told you to follow Deacon Wang and the others on the way so as not to waste too much time."

"I understand." The girl in the green skirt raised her bare hands slightly, still arranging her undried black hair, and looked at the stream less than a foot wide at her feet: "This stream is warm and clear, I don't know where it goes upstream. It seems to be near a tributary of the river."

"Oh, miss, don't worry about it. After bathing in this water, you should start studying others again." The maid in green curled her lips slightly and looked at her lady with a look of complaint.

"Well, let's go." The girl in the green skirt bent down and folded the wet clothes she had changed into, and handed them to the maid in green named Qiu Shui.

The two of them turned around and just walked into the green forest. Qiu Shui let out an ouch, opened his almond eyes, pointed at a human-shaped object under a giant tree, and said tremblingly: "Miss, there... there is a dead person!"

"Don't talk nonsense!" The girl in the green skirt frowned slightly. She also discovered the human-shaped object under the tree. She stepped forward and took a closer look. It was a man. The man's body was covered with wounds, blood stasis, and mud from various leaves. , I don’t know whether to live or die.

"The border between Qinzhou and Luoyang Prefecture has always been rampant with bandits. It seems that someone was killed and robbed of wealth and dumped here... Qiushui, go up and check this person's mouth and nose. If he is a dead person, let's leave quickly to avoid causing more trouble." . If you are still breathing, go outside the woods and call Deacon Wang and others to come and rescue him. My father often said that begging for a life is better than building a seven-level pagoda. How can I see death without saving him."

Qiu Shui reluctantly responded, covering her mouth and nose lightly and stepped forward, as if she disliked the smell of mud, and put a slender jade finger between the man's mouth and nose.

Qiu Shui grew up with her mother in the Zhang Mansion since she was a child. Even though she was a maid, she was extremely delicate. He rolled up his sleeves and wiped away the mud between the man's mouth and nose with his slender fingers, his pretty brows furrowing.

She then put her jade finger slightly under the man's nose. She originally thought it must be a dead body. Just as she was about to throw away her sleeves, she felt a faint warm breath rushing towards her fingertips. Qiu Shui couldn't help but blush slightly. She had never been in contact with a man's body since she was a child, let alone being so close. This blushing was just the instinctive reaction of her daughter's family.

"Miss, if this person is not dead, I'll go out and call Deacon Wang and the others." After saying this, he covered his face, pulled up his skirt and trotted out of the woods.

"This girl is actually busier than me." The girl in the green skirt glanced at Qiu Shui's back and said with a mature smile. She looked at the man. His face was covered with blood and mud, and he couldn't tell how old he was. She also disliked the smell of the mud, so she didn't pay much attention to the man. She just raised her skirt slightly and stood under the tree, watching the slowly flowing stream, in a daze, as if she had something on her mind.

There was a sound of footsteps in the woods. A burly man in tight clothes led several servants dressed as nurses and walked quickly to the stream. The burly man with a Chinese character face had piercing eyes, and his steps were full of energy. His temples were bulging high. He was obviously a foreigner. The family's martial arts master.

The big man's eyes were like eagles, he glanced at the man lying under the tree, turned around and respectfully clasped his fists at the girl in the green skirt and said: "It's a coincidence that this boy is lucky. If he meets the young lady, he can save his life. I know he will definitely praise the young lady." You have mercy." After saying that, he winked at the servants behind him, and several servants dressed as nursing staff immediately stepped forward and lifted the man up regardless of the dirt.

"Uncle Wang, that's such an exaggeration. I'm not Guanyin Bodhisattva, and you're making fun of me again." The girl in the green skirt showed a slightly girlish look and pursed her lips. Deacon Wang has followed her father for more than ten years and watched her grow up.

"Haha, the young lady is knowledgeable and courteous, and has a compassionate heart. Whoever marries the young lady will be truly blessed in three lifetimes. Wait a minute! Let him wash by the stream first and then dispose of such mud. How can we get rid of the dirty mess!" Deacon Wang smiled slightly, then suddenly turned to the servants who were about to carry the man out of the woods and said sternly, "What are you doing? Can't you see there is water here!"

Several servants were scolded, their faces turned red but they did not dare to refute. They hurriedly placed the man by the stream and washed him briefly with water. These servants were stained with mud and had resentment in their hearts. They vented their anger on this man who came from nowhere. Judging from his ordinary clothes, he did not come from a wealthy family. Thinking of this, he didn't care about the wounds on the man's body, and started to rub the warm stream water with his hands.

When Deacon Wang saw the actions of these servants, he snorted coldly and said nothing more. Instead, he said kindly to the girl in the green skirt: "Miss, let me go out first. The mosquitoes here are really annoying." The girl in the green skirt has beautiful eyes. Overflowing with a smile, he said: "Well, you can instruct them later to put this man on the carriage filled with my soft clothes, and then find someone to watch him. When he gets to Ancient Qingcheng, give him a few taels of silver and let him treat him. I'm so hurt that I can go home on my own. By the way, Uncle Wang, what did the escort team my father commissioned this time carry? I think the escort named Zheng is very cold and doesn't allow anyone to get close to the escort. It's really annoying! "

"Miss Haojiao learned about this. The master wanted to transport some important trading materials. The escort chief Zheng is a man of real ability. His martial arts skills are not inferior to mine. He was the escort master hired by the master at a high price from the escort agency." As the man spoke, he walked out of the woods...

"Where is this? I'm not dead yet..." He opened his heavy eyelids and saw a gray and gloomy sky. His body gradually regained consciousness. The jolts beneath him made him feel as if his body was falling apart. It was like a crack, and the pain was excruciating. Xu Yan reluctantly sat up halfway, supporting the carriage of the cargo-carrying carriage with his hands, and looked at the several carriages and seven or eight people dressed as deacons on horseback.

The memory before coma slowly emerged. After jumping down from the giant mountain of clouds, he was about to hit a protruding sharp stone. The Beijing white jade pendant that fit him exploded, forming a protective shield outside his body. He hit the boulder but bounced in the opposite direction. As the light of the jade pendant dissipated, he must have fallen into Linshui by luck, rushed downstream and was rescued.

Xu Yan thought about what happened after he took the [Spiritual Blood Pill], which was completely beyond his plan. His face changed slightly, and he put his hand into his arms and touched the ball of Spiritual Blood Pill mud and ancient talisman paper. He felt calmer and still Fortunately, I didn't completely lose my mind at that time. I tied these items tightly with close-fitting clothes so that they were not lost.

"Shenjue, Jiang Palace circulates around the sky! The mysterious energy turns into the sea of ​​​​qi, and the power is boundless! I actually entered the realm of the sea of ​​​​qi!" Xu Yan looked inside his body, and couldn't help being shocked. There was a barrier in the Dantian in the Shenjue point. Already broken through, a wisp of profound energy circulated around Jiang Palace and formed a sea of ​​​​qi in the sky. Countless profound energies were churning endlessly. Xu Yan felt that his four bones and hundreds of veins were filled with spiritual energy. The rolling profound energy, which should be called spiritual energy at this time, was constantly repairing the wounds on his body. Although the wound was painful and hideous, it was no longer serious.

"Boy, are you awake? Come and meet my lady quickly and thank her for saving your life!" A deacon who was riding next to the carriage saw Xu Yan waking up and sat up in confusion. I was in a daze, and couldn't help but feel a ray of anger rising in my heart. This boy was just a civilian that the young lady saved casually. He was lying on the bed of the carriage like a dead man, and she had to take care of him. When he woke up, he seemed to have no intelligence. There were some problems, so he was not polite at all.

Xu Yan slowly raised his head and looked at the deacon. The deacon was high up.

He could hear Lin's contemptuous tone. It seemed that the convoy had saved him, and he didn't want to cause more trouble, but this ordinary person dared to speak to him in such a tone, and he couldn't help but feel a trace of anger in his heart. .

"Hahahaha, Brother Zhang, come and see this kid. He is just like a deaf man. The person that Miss rescued will not be an idiot, right? Hahaha!" When the deacon saw Xu Yan's lack of reaction, he became more sure of his judgment and laughed. He spoke out and called to the deacons riding in front to watch the fun.

Xu Yan's eyes flashed with anger when he heard this, but he did not show any anger, but slowly lowered his head. It is not too late to argue with these ignorant people later. He remembered something more important, reached into his arms, and took out a piece of jade and a small brown bag from a stack of talismans. His expressionless face was slightly excited. If his guess was true, So...

Xu Yan held the brown-yellow pouch in his hand and slowly tried to put a little spiritual energy into it. His pupils shrank instantly, and a three-foot-round space appeared in his inner vision. There were several bottles in it, and an ancient screen. There were mirrors, a small pile of stones emitting spiritual energy, and some objects he didn't recognize, all of which emitted fluctuations of spiritual energy.

Xu Yan tried to put the talisman, elixir, and ancient jade book in his arms into this inexplicable space. After a moment, his hands were empty. Things were already full in the three-foot-round space. The space was not big. At this moment, It's almost full.

"It is indeed a magical treasure." Xu Yan was excited and was about to take a closer look at the items in the bag, but stopped and looked up at the side of the carriage.

At this moment, there were four or five riding deacons surrounding the carriage, pointing at Xu Yan who was sitting on the carriage with a mocking smile on his face.

Xu Yan raised his eyes and looked at their expressions. The subtle changes in everyone's facial expressions were reflected in these starry eyes. He could guess almost exactly what everyone was thinking. These ordinary people, mediocre, I How can we live in the same clan as ants? Entering the Qi Sea Realm at this moment, Xu Yan's mentality underwent a strange change without realizing it. He suddenly understood the feelings of those powerful beings leaving these human races who could not cultivate mysteries.

"What are you guys doing! Young Master, my Deacon Wang heard that you were awake and called you to come forward. He has something to say to you." A maid in green clothes at the front of the motorcade rode up to the carriage and put those The deacon shouted and looked at Xu Yandao. Because she had touched this man's cheek with her hand, she couldn't help but feel a little embarrassed to see him again. It must be that when Deacon Wang heard that this man was awake, he sent this Qiushui to give him a few taels of silver and send him away.

"Thank you girl for rescuing me. I won't bother you anymore, so I'll take my leave." Xu Yan said lightly, and helped get out of the carriage that was still moving slowly. He was wearing tattered clothes stained with blood stains, and his white forearms were exposed. He came out and stood in the middle of the wide official road with his back to the motorcade, as if his steps were at a loss and he didn't know where he was going. Xu Yan didn't recognize this place, and was about to turn around and ask the maid, when he suddenly remembered that he didn't know where to go, home? Xu Yan smiled bitterly.

Since the destruction of the Xu Realm, I have appeared in this strange world inexplicably, and I have encountered many strange and mysterious things. I am afraid that this place is no longer a human realm.

"Boy, you really don't know how to flatter me. I call you "Master" just to give you face. Our deacon commander asked you to come and give you a few taels of silver as payment. You don't know what's good and what's good!" That Qiu Shui hadn't spoken yet. The deacon said something to Xu Yan's back. Qiu Shui didn't react, just looked at Xu Yan to see what he would say. She also felt that what the deacon said was quite reasonable. Deacon Wang kindly gave him a few taels of silver, but this man turned a deaf ear and got out of the car. Could he really be an idiot?

The blood on Xu Yan's face had scabbed over, and outsiders could not see the appearance of his face, let alone his expression. He turned around and raised his head and said calmly: "I saw that you rescued me from the water, so I don't want to argue too much." , I can let it go if I was disrespectful before. It has fulfilled the cause and effect between me and you. Now you and I are entangled, and you don’t know that the disaster is coming. You really deserve to die." Xu Yan sneered in his heart, I don’t want to owe anyone a favor, if these mortals Even if they don't help me, I can wake up slowly on my own. Moreover, those deacons were disrespectful some time ago, so I have let them go and no longer care about them. The men in well-dressed clothes who were riding unkindly at the back of the motorcade originally wanted to solve the problem for them. At this moment, there was no need to take action. All one had to do was watch the changes in the emotions of these people, which must have benefited their own practice. Progress.

After saying this, he stopped speaking and sat cross-legged on the edge of the wide official road, closing his eyes and regulating his breath.

"Sick!" "Is this kid crazy?" The deacons at the rear of the motorcade burst out laughing when they heard Xu Yan's words. One of the deacons who wanted to go up and pick on Xu Yan also put down his knife and laughed loudly. laugh. It was obvious that he had no interest in doing something to a mentally retarded idiot. Qiu Shui also snorted coldly, turned his horse's head and ran forward.

The deacons had just turned their horses to follow the convoy when they heard the sound of galloping in the distance behind them. Dust and smoke were everywhere at the end of the official road where they came from, and they could vaguely see a few big men in powerful clothes running towards them.

These riders were extremely fast, and they overtook the convoy in less than half a stick of incense. The dust along the way was thrown onto the convoy's cargo carriages, causing a burst of curses. Riding a maroon horse at the front was a young man wearing a moon-white scholar's robe. He held a rein in one hand and a fan in the other. His face was fair and handsome, but there was a sense of femininity. His narrow red eyes were slightly narrowed, and the reins were in his hands. He moved, clamped his legs, and heard a few "hiss" sounds. Several people behind him followed him and turned their horses around, blocking the cargo of the escort truck at the front of the convoy.

The young man in white scholar's robe shook his folding fan, looked at the goods on the escort cart, and laughed loudly: "Zheng Laosan, hand over the escort items quickly, and Li will spare your life."

"That's such a big statement. Our Zhentian Escort Bureau has a reputation in the Guqing area of ​​Luoyang Prefecture. How dare you and other little thieves dare to say such arrogant words. Today Wang will let you know how powerful the Zhentian Escort Bureau is!" A middle-aged bodyguard nearby saw them blocking the entire official road in a line and couldn't help but cursed. The Zhentian Escort Bureau has a long-standing reputation in the Guqing area, and its chief escort is a peerless martial arts master in the Xiantian realm. Usually, when those horse bandits and bandits see that they are escorts from the Zhentian Escort Bureau, they all retreat and do not dare to stop them.

The escort surnamed Wang shouted, but did not come forward. He is not stupid. These five people dare to come and rob the escort. They also know the ranking of their escort leader Zheng. He is not someone to be trifled with at first glance. The sound he made just now was just a warning. His martial arts is mediocre. If he goes up to attack, there will be no good results. .

Sure enough, within a moment, the escorts at the back of the motorcade and the Zhang family's deacons all rushed to the side of the escort vehicle, standing behind a middle-aged man in black, holding weapons and glaring at the five people blocking the road.

After the young man in white stopped the convoy, a figure in black flew out from a horse in the middle of the convoy, and jumped up and down several carriages. After the middle-aged escort said nothing, he had already stood at the front of the escort carriage, and stood with the young man in white. Looking at each other coldly.

"Zheng Laosan's Qinggong is really amazing, but it's a pity that your eldest brother didn't come with you today. You're the only one who's a top bodyguard. Hand over the [Ling Gathering Mysterious Pill] quickly. If you insist on resisting, you won't be here." You're waiting for a burial place!" The young man in white looked at the middle-aged man in black jokingly, obviously they had already investigated the details of this convoy.

"The little brat who has eaten a few taels of rice has dared to talk nonsense! Since we know it is [Ling Juxuan Dan], we should know who Master Zhang is giving it to. If he is plotting against that master's thing, could it be that he was beaten in the toilet?" Are you looking for death?" A loud male voice came from the crowd. Deacon Wang jumped to the front of the convoy and said: "The escort leader Zheng is the escort invited by Mr. Zhang. I don't know what the employer is transporting, but you. To be able to learn such secrets and come to rob them must be closely related to Yuan Chengshou, it seems that Yuan Chengshou can't help but take action."

"Hahaha, are you talking about the useless city guard of Ancient Qingcheng? He is worthy of being called upon by Li! What's the point of a mere mortal city? Li came from Jushan City in ancient Qingjun and worked as a handyman for the master of the Qihai Realm. Running errands, you and other people who have not yet made a breakthrough in the Mortal Heaven Realm are really not in Li's eyes. Although the person that Master Zhang is going to send as a gift is an innate master of martial arts, compared with my master, Shang Qi Haishi, he can do it with just a wave of his hand. Let it fade away." The young man in white said proudly.

Zheng Laosan's expressionless face changed drastically, and Deacon Wang's expression was also shocked, showing complex expressions such as fear and longing. His cold and calm image collapsed instantly, and his voice actually trembled: "What... what, Jushan City !”

Luoyang Prefecture is different from Qin Prefecture. Practitioners of the occult often appear in the ordinary world. Over the past thousands of years, the prefecture has been divided into six counties and thirty-three cities. Six of them are aloof from the world, and ordinary people are not allowed to enter. On the surface, they rule the entire radius. The Yunxuan Shang Dynasty in Luoyang Prefecture, which is a million miles away, sends a large amount of tribute to these six cities every year. Therefore, there are always cultivators in the six cities. Those cultivating families who have entered the world occupy huge cities one after another. Controlling the economic lifeline of mortals, those heirs without spiritual roots spread their wings, doing business, escorting, collecting

A large number of heavenly materials and rare treasures are provided for the clan to cultivate mysteries.

Of course, there are also those giant Taoist sects. These sects are different from the family. They occupy the huge mountains and beautiful waters that stretch for more than 100,000 miles in the state, and the geomantic treasures and spiritual places are used as the gates of the Taoist temples. These sects are easily invisible to the world. The city has sent out disciples, and every hundred years they will go out to collect mortals with spiritual roots and bring them back to the mountain gate to have enough blood, and the methods are different.

There is a magnificent city in this ancient Qing County, called Jushan. It is a place where some casual cultivators are entrenched, occupying the whole county's feng shui spiritual veins. There are a large number of ordinary servants in it, and there are also some ordinary people who can't see anything at all. A large number of Xuxuan cultivators and their disciples arrived, as well as the shops and markets between Xuxuan cultivators and so on. However, its city rarely affects other ordinary people in the county. Every year, each city in the county is required to donate a certain amount of population to fill Jushan City. For the martial arts masters in Guqing County who have reached the master level, Jushan City represents With opportunity and wealth, because everyone who came out of it had extremely high martial arts skills and a lot of wealth, they went out of the city to find elixirs, tools, and stones for the masters. These people who could dominate the world in the ordinary world were in Jushan City. But he is a laborer at the lowest level, and he will lose his life if he is not careful.

"Yes, this time Li heard that Deputy City Guard Zhang of Ancient Qingcheng had obtained a [Spirit-Gathering Mysterious Pill], which he wanted to dedicate to the innate realm of martial arts in the city. Li is not talented, and he is also the first to enter the innate realm of martial arts, but I still dare to look forward to this immortal elixir but dare not enjoy it. Ancient Qingcheng, a mortal city, is dedicated to mere martial arts geniuses. No matter how lucky you are, I dare to enjoy the elixir! Li took away the legendary [Ling Gathering Mysterious Pill] that can enable people to break through the realm. ], I am returning to the city to present it to my master. Although your eldest brother is not here today, Li, considering that he is a prodigy in martial arts, will give him a thin face and offer him the elixir quickly. I will spare you the chance to die!" Bai Yi! The young man ignored Deacon Wang and stared at escort Zheng with cold eyes. He spoke with murderous intent, as if he was about to take action at the next moment.

With Chief Zheng and the young man in white as the center, they were in an explosive atmosphere. Dozens of pairs of eyes were staring at Chief Zheng. Even the Miss Zhang family and the maid Qiu Shui in the carriage heard the movement and moved closer. , hearing the murderous words of the young man in white with cold eyes, his face turned pale with fright.

Zheng's face was ugly, his lips moved and he didn't know what to say. Then he sighed slumped. Just as he was about to speak, he heard a male voice behind him say softly: "Xu wants this pill."

Everyone was shocked. The young man in white could only hear his voice but not see him. He couldn't help but feel something bad in his heart. A cold light flashed in his eyes, and he suddenly jumped towards the escort car. Just as the young man in white had his feet on the escort car, and before his face could show joy, he was hit by a bright purple stream of light. The expression on his face suddenly froze, and his body exploded with the purple light, and blood and flesh flew everywhere. Half of the head dripping with blood rolled several times in the air and landed at the feet of the girl named Zhang in the green skirt. The white brains were mixed with bright red blood and sprinkled on the girl's green skirt. The pupils of the girl's pretty eyes contracted sharply, the whites of her eyes rolled over, and she fainted.

Everyone's eyes were filled with fear and panic. The deacons and bodyguards had also seen blood, but they had never seen such a strange and incomprehensible event. The four big men brought by the young man in white were still masked. Sitting on the horse, there was no reaction at all. Zheng Biaotou's face was gloomy. He could guess that maybe it was a master of innate martial arts who took action. The terrifying way of death of the young man in white shocked his mind. He looked around, his palms were already sweating, and the place was trapped. There was an eerie silence.

"Then... there's someone there!" An escort broke the silence, his trembling voice and trembling fingers pointing to the escort truck carrying the escort.

Xu Yan frowned and looked at the fine iron cargo box. He didn't know any magic at the moment, nor could he control the mysterious energy in his body to fight against the enemy. He only relied on the few talismans left to show off his power. However, this fine iron box could only be used for a while. Can't open it now.

Ignoring the escort, he turned around and walked directly to the stunned escort Zheng, saying coldly: "Open the box and spare your life."

Chief Zheng looked at the young man with fear. He recognized that this was the young man that his employer had rescued halfway, but he didn't pay attention at the time, but now...

Xu Yan's eyes turned cold, and his strike was like lightning. He directly grabbed Zheng Biaotou's right arm and tore it apart fiercely! Blood foam was flying all over the sky. Zheng's right arm was torn off by its tendons. A stream of blood spurted out from the shoulder joint and sprayed onto the face of the middle-aged escort next to him. It was extremely bloody. Xu Yan ignored Bouncer Zheng's painful expression as he covered his right shoulder with his head, and said harshly: "Don't make me say it a second time!"

"You lunatic, I'm going to kill you!" The middle-aged bodyguard next to him, whose face was sprayed with human blood, was obviously mentally unstable. His eyes were red, and he raised the sword in his hand and was about to pull it out. "Pounce!" Xu Yan pulled out his right arm from the left chest of the middle-aged bodyguard, and casually shook away the human blood and flesh on his arm. His face was indifferent, and he looked around the silent bodyguards and deacons. His eyes fell on Qiu Shui and Deacon Wang, and said : "Open the box immediately, otherwise Xu will go on a killing spree."

Qiu Shui supported the unconscious young lady, her eyes filled with fear, regret and other emotions. She lost her former agility and couldn't say a word. She just stared at Xu Yan. Deacon Wang took a step forward, lowered his head in fear and said, "The key is with the villain. I just ask the master to spare my young lady's life."

Xu Yan took the key and turned a deaf ear to his respectful and flattering words. He stepped forward to open the fine iron cargo box and took out a white jade box with carved phoenixes. The corners of his mouth curled up. Without even looking at the blood on the ground, he followed the rest of the people and turned towards the end of the official road. As he left, no one was seen for a moment.

The gray and gloomy sky seemed to be pressing down on the earth, and the heaven and earth seemed so close. The vast land on both sides of the official road was barren, and further away were the endless mountains, giant peaks, and forests of big trees. The sky was shrouded in low gray clouds, like black ancient behemoths rolling and roaring in the sky.

Several corpses lay scattered in the middle of the official road, with no one taking care of them. The scattered fragments of carriages on the ground and the pools of unsolidified blood corpses all told that a murder had just occurred here. Strong winds blew, and the sky was covered with thick black clouds. It was rolling, as if it was about to wreak havoc and send heavy rain to the earth. The merchants who were passing by quickly wrapped up their clothes and passed the scene of the murder from the roadside. It was almost dusk, and it was about to rain. The merchants and vendors were all eager to find an inn to escape the wind and rain.

What makes this ancient Qing official road strange to the merchants who occasionally come and go is that there are a few sturdy men in the middle of this road, with black scarves covering their faces, heads held high, sitting motionless on their horses, their faces cannot be seen clearly, they look like top-notch horse bandits. , I didn’t dare to look any further at the moment, so I quickly took a detour.

A figure in the distance approached quickly. If you look closely, you can see a young man in tattered clothes. He can jump several feet every time he touches the ground. He is much better than the light kung fu masters of those martial arts masters. In a short time, the young man arrived at the "scene of the murder". The dirty blood scab on his face showed no appearance, but his indifferent eyes exuded an attraction that no mortal could ignore, and the aura on his body was extremely coercive. If there were any mortals here at this time, they would definitely be lying on the ground in shock under the pressure of Master Qi Hai.

This was Xu Yan. After he took the so-called [Ling Gathering Mysterious Pill], he did not kill the others. After all, it was the two girls who rescued him from the shore. He left for half an hour, and after thinking about it, he always felt that something was wrong there. An idea flashed in his mind, and he remembered those four big men in black! When he killed the young man in white, the four big men who were his accomplices did not react at all, which was really strange. Even when he left, the eyes of those big men did not waver and were lifeless.

The eyes are dull and lifeless, these are the signs of a corpse puppet! Xu Yan's eyes flashed with joy. The young man in white claimed to be the Qihai Master of Jushan City and came out to look for heavenly materials and earthly treasures. The Qihai realm cultivator would definitely give some intimidating means to show his majesty. Obviously these four The martial arts innate realm corpse puppet is the trump card of the young man in white!

Although these martial arts innate corpse puppets pose no threat to the cultivators of the Qi Sea Realm, Xu Yan can be regarded as a monk halfway. Without the support of a master and no dojo to rely on, he can be said to be a pure casual cultivator at present. Using these corpse puppets as coolies will no longer Nothing better. Xu Yan stepped forward to rummage through the corpses, picked up the fragmented body of the young man in white, rummaged through his clothes, and found a small bronze bell and a money bag.

"Yes, that's it!" Xu Yan was slightly happy and looked at the bronze bell carefully. The bell has an old shape, with mottled and worn parts, and some patterns and scratches.

Xu Yan looked at the four corpse puppets, gently rang the bell, and at the same time slowly input a trace of spiritual energy into them. The four big men immediately turned their hands, dismounted and stood still.

"The young man in white is only in the innate realm of martial arts, and can only command them to do some simple actions with the sound of a bell, but I am a cultivator in the Qi Sea realm, so I can fully unleash the power of this zombie puppet!" Xu Yan felt a little confused. Excited, he looked down at his clothes and frowned. He had better find an uninhabited place first and devour and refine the remaining [Spiritual Blood Pill Mud]. He didn't know how many layers of the Qi Sea he could break through. He could break through on his own. Qi Hai is all due to it.
