Chapter 2235: Twists and turns, annihilation on the spot (1/2)
Burning Heaven Holy City.
In a temporary cave somewhere in Juyuan Mountain, several monks are gathering here to conspire. Although the people present have different costumes, their cultivation levels have all reached the Void Refining stage. Each of them has a condensed aura and a lingering evil spirit. At first glance, He is by no means an easy person to get along with, he is the elite of the dark hall dispatched by the Shinto Sect.
And the leader was a young man.
Let's look at this man's sword-shaped eyebrows and starry eyes, his majestic air, his handsome face, and his suave and suave appearance. He is wearing a rusty green patterned robe, a black jade mysterious light pendant hanging from his waist, and his feet are wind-riding cloud shoes. His cultivation has reached the middle stage of refining the void. It is impressive that he is Mo Qing is the direct disciple of the first elder of the Dongyuan lineage of the Shinto Sect.
It is true that since Master Miaofa figured out the mystery that day, the headmaster Shen Xuzi has sent a large number of dark hall elites to various parts of the Burning Sky Territory to find out the traces of a certain demon path. Among them, the Ancient Soul Burial Desert and the Burning Sky Holy City are naturally the most important ones. The most important thing is that almost all major forces have dedicated personnel responsible for infiltration, which also takes a lot of effort.
As the senior brother of the newly promoted saint "Mengchen", Mo Qing, the prodigy, had evil intentions, so after learning the news, he took the initiative to ask his master "Tiancan Patriarch" to come to Fentian Domain to be responsible for the search. thing.
On the surface, this move seems to be motivated by meritorious service, but in fact, it also has a lot of selfish motives. However, it is unclear whether it is to secretly secretly treasure the treasure, or whether it is to take the opportunity to kill the "opponent".
However, the Burning Sky Territory has a vast area and steep terrain. It is one of the key areas for commercial exchanges in the spirit world. It can be said that there is a mixture of fish and dragons, and various forces are intertwined. It is also the territory of the top immortal sect Yuding Mountain, so even if it is No one as strong as the Shinto Sect dared to mess around. In order to avoid unnecessary trouble caused by leaks, the elites could only spread out and act secretly.
Therefore, even after many years, the Shinto Sect spent a great deal of money and only penetrated and searched some areas, and found nothing about a certain demonic path.
Faced with this situation, Mo Qing, the leader in charge of the Ancient Soul Burial Desert, had a huge headache. He had to withstand the pressure from the top of the sect and also be constantly on guard against the discovery of the forces of Yuding Mountain. It felt like being on a hot pot. ants.
Very early in the morning, Mo Qing summoned a group of colleagues to discuss matters. His words were quite impatient, and he almost cursed them on the spot.
"How long has this been going on? When will it end? The elders have urged me several times. If it continues like this, how will I explain it to the leader?"
As he spoke, Mo Qing's sharp eyes scanned the entire audience, and focused on an old man in black robes. Probably because his cultivation has also reached the middle stage of Void Refining, he is the actual leader of this secret hall group.
Faced with such remarks that were almost reprimands, several elite members of the secret hall present were also unhappy. As independent members of the Shinto Sect, the cultivators had always only obeyed the orders of the leader. When had they seen the faces of others?
If it weren't for the fear of the name of "Tiancan Ancestor", I'm afraid this temporary team would have broken up long ago.
Therefore, the old man in black robe would naturally not get used to it, and immediately retorted:
"Haha~! Brother Mo said it lightly. I have been investigating in the Ancient Soul Burial Desert for a long time. I have used all the intelligence networks in the secret hall, but I have not been able to find any clues. If you have any clever tricks, just use them. Besides, I Antang has admired the wonderful method of Dongyuan lineage for a long time...!
As soon as these words came out, the atmosphere in the venue was instantly silent.
Mo Qing raised his eyebrows, looked at the old man in black robe with sharp eyes, and his tone became colder:
"Liang, I advise you not to challenge my patience, otherwise don't say that you are secretly in the prison. I won't give you face even in the prison hall. When the leader blames you, neither you nor I will be able to feel better... ....!"
Obviously, with the strength of his senior brother from the Dongyuan lineage, he did not take the black-robed old man named Liang seriously at all. The reason why he tolerated it for a long time was just because he was afraid of the opponent's large number of people, but if he really wanted to cause trouble Even if the fish dies and the net breaks, he will never give up.
Hearing this, several elites present looked at each other, all looking at Mo Qing with unkind eyes. They must have had enough of outsiders dictating things, and internal strife is almost inevitable.
But just as the atmosphere in the field was tense, an unexpected news arrived, which stopped a fight between fellow students in time.
Outside the temporary cave door, there was a sudden howling of wind, and not long after, a short monk rushed over, and before he arrived, a voice came:
"Everyone, please be patient. When I was in Fangshi just now, I heard a piece of gossip. I'm afraid it has something to do with that kid from the lower world...!"
Sure enough, as soon as these words came out, the tense atmosphere instantly eased. All the cultivators turned their heads in surprise, and Mo Qing took the lead, saying rather impatiently:
"Oh~? Is this happening? Why don't you tell me quickly?"
The little monk did not hesitate when he heard the words, and quickly told the story that was widely rumored in the market. Then he handed over a brown jade slip and explained in a solemn tone:
"After learning the news, I spent a lot of money to obtain detailed information about Nangong Wentian from the Yudingshan disciples. You will know the authenticity at a glance... .!”
After finishing speaking, the little monk crushed the jade slip into pieces, turning it into a ball of white light, which unfolded vividly in mid-air. A lifelike portrait quickly appeared inside, and there were many small ancient seal characters next to it, which was impressive. It is a lot of information about a certain demon path.
Although these are only things on the surface, and no one knows what happens secretly, these alone are enough for people to notice the clues.
Therefore, after Mo Qing looked at it for a while, he soon showed an excited look, and couldn't help but said in surprise:
"That's right, from the intelligence, the time when Nangong Wentian appeared in the Burning Heaven Domain basically coincided with the time when the incident happened in the Phantom Forest, and he happened to be an ascender, and even his appearance features were the same. It is very likely that he is the kid from the lower world!"
As soon as this was said, it was immediately echoed by others.
Even the black-robed deacon named Liang did not sing a different tune this time, but took the lead and ordered:
"Since it has been confirmed, it's easy to say. Lao Wu, you are good at tracking and hiding. Hurry up and ambush outside Yuding Mountain. Send a message as soon as you get the news. Remember not to act impulsively. This time, I will make sure that kid can't escape even if he has wings!"
Hearing this, the short monk immediately took the order and left.
The few people in the cave also conspired again, but the atmosphere became much more harmonious. Obviously, as the elite of the top immortal sect, all the cultivators also understood the principle of putting the overall situation first.
......................
At the same time, inside Yuding Mountain.
In that quiet and remote valley, a demon was sitting in front of the window, worrying. At this moment, his muscles and veins had long been restored to their original state, and even the blood-stained robes were taken off, and he was replaced with a flowing white robe.
And the reason for worrying was also related to the broken mirror.
Now there are only two ways in front of him.
Either choose to retreat in the sect, then when the subsequent breakthrough comes, according to the past practice, it is estimated that the power of the six-nine heavenly tribulation will definitely not be small, and it will even be enough to make all the onlookers stunned. At that time, even if the mirror is successfully broken, the hidden danger of the inner demon will definitely not be hidden, and there will be a group of old men scrambling to accept disciples.
This situation is too ostentatious, and it is obviously not what Qin Tian wants to see.
In addition, there is a second way, which is to imitate the last time to retreat, but this trip is also destined to be not peaceful.
Let's not talk about the danger of the wilderness. Just based on the nature of the Black Dragon Young Master, he would never sit idly by after hearing the news. He might have arranged people to monitor secretly. Once the other party finds an opportunity, the killer lineup that appears this time will not be as simple as the last time.
Regarding these, with Qin's intelligence and his understanding of the Black Dragon Young Master, how could he not guess some clues?
It is estimated that with the character of the Gu Da Young Master, he can't hold back the desire to cut the grass and root it out, right?
So this is a dilemma no matter how you look at it.
However, the opportunity to break through the realm is fleeting, and no one dares to guarantee what will happen if it is delayed for too long. If the breakthrough fails again, or even the backlash affects the foundation and damages it, then there is really no place to cry.
In desperation, he can only choose the lesser of two evils!
After thinking it over, Qin Tian did not act rashly.
After all, if he didn't calm down for a few days, he would inevitably arouse suspicion. Therefore, he stayed in the secret room every day, trying his best to suppress the riot of the true energy in his body. He came out after half a month.
However, the development of things was just as he expected.
As the saying goes, the tree wants to be quiet but the wind does not stop.
Not long after he came out of seclusion, he saw the sound of wind whistling at the mouth of the valley, and there was a flash of light coming down quickly, revealing a fat figure with big shoulders and waist.
Yes, that's right.
Xu Da Zongguan came so heroically.
Since Black Dragon Mountain threw an olive branch, he has been completely arrogant, and even his waist, which has been bent for hundreds of years, has straightened unconsciously.
If he can get on the big ship of Black Dragon Mountain, who cares about the few small backers in the inner gate? On weekdays, he has to be a grandson and kowtow, and he has to risk being dismissed at any time. It is better to find another way.
If he could get the support of the Black Dragon Ancestor, wouldn't it be a smooth path to immortality in the future?
Because of this, after he got the instruction, he came to the Wasted Alchemy Hall without any hesitation, intending to give that annoying boy a taste of his power, so that he would know that some people cannot afford to offend!
So after arriving at the scene, seeing that a certain demon was still in that "half-dead" state, General Manager Xu couldn't help but smile coldly, and immediately shouted in a bad tone:
"Bold young man, why don't you come out to greet me when you see me? Do you still have the distinction between the superior and the inferior in your eyes?"
As he spoke, a strong aura and pressure emanated from his chubby body, and he rushed straight towards Qin Tian, clearly trying to find trouble!
Although this little momentum was simply a child's play for the latter, and he had killed a mere early stage of refining emptiness before.
But in order to avoid being exposed, Qin Tian pretended to take a few steps back, then saluted with a pale face, and his posture was extremely humble:
"I am sorry for not welcoming you in person, please forgive me!"
Seeing this situation, Xu Bapi nodded with satisfaction, but he was also quite puzzled in his heart, why did the boy who dared to burn the alchemy workshop back then become so cautious now? This is not like his previous style.
But since he is here, he will not give up easily, and immediately shouted in a cold tone:
"Hmph! Don't try to get close to me. Today I have been ordered to inspect the waste pill warehouse. If there is a waste pill that doesn't match the account, you kid will be punished!"
After that, Xu Bapi didn't waste any words and walked straight to the warehouse deep in the valley. His hands behind his back and his dragon-like and tiger-like appearance really showed his arrogance and bullying to the fullest.
Seeing this scene, Qin Tian suddenly realized that Xu Baopi had been quiet since the last time. This time, there must be someone behind the scenes instructing him, otherwise how could he act so recklessly?
However, due to the imminent breakthrough, Qin Tian did not want to cause more trouble, so he simply followed up quickly, intending to see the situation first.
Since the Wasted Pill Hall was not taken seriously, when many Wasted Pills were put in and out of the warehouse, the accounting records were naturally not so detailed. So after some selective inspection, Xu Papi found many omissions. .
So the old man stared, pointed at the account book in his hand, and began to angrily:
"Nangong Wentian, you are a deacon, but you do not supervise well and allow your subordinates to do whatever they want. Otherwise, why would the waste elixirs in the warehouse disappear inexplicably? How should you explain it now?"
Hearing this, Qin Tian was also secretly annoyed. Although he was indeed engaged in searching for waste pills, under normal circumstances waste pills were not taken seriously at all. The so-called accounting was just a formality. How could anyone take a closer look?
So seeing that the other party was deliberately looking for trouble, he didn't intend to continue to spoil him, so he simply opened his mouth and made it clear:
"Explanation? Why do you need to explain? As the saying goes, if you want to accuse someone, why bother? General Manager Xu is here not just for inspection, right?"
Sure enough, as soon as he said this, Xu Bapi stopped pretending and suddenly whipped out a long black whip towards Qin Tian, and even sneered proudly:
"Hmph~! You are a sensible guy, but if you contradict your elders, you should be beaten...!"
Judging from the spiritual pressure, the black whip is not of a high grade, about the level of a top-grade all-in-one spiritual treasure. Coupled with the control of a master in the Void Refining Stage, the power of this blow should not be underestimated. It would be faced by an ordinary God Transformation stage. , I'm afraid the outcome will be either death or injury.
But for Qin Tian, an attack of this level was really not enough to watch.
However, due to the situation, he still chose to endure it for the time being. He only summoned a few ethereal shields to resist briefly, and then used his body skills to retreat towards the rear.
"Pa~!"
The final result was as expected. Along with the clear sound of whipping, when the long whip fell, the ethereal shields were destroyed in the blink of an eye, and Qin Tian seemed to be unable to resist, and his body was instantly whipped far away. Not only There was a trace of blood on his mouth, and there was even a trace of blood on his chest.
At first glance, he looked extremely embarrassed.
Seeing this situation, Xu Papi felt extremely happy and couldn't help but sneer and warn:
"Boy, don't say I didn't warn you. There are some people you can't afford to offend. There is no place for you in this Jade Cauldron Mountain. Get out of here if you are wise, otherwise your life will not be so easy in the future!"
"That's it for you, just take care of yourself!"
Having said that, General Manager Xu no longer stayed, dragging his plump body and humming an unknown tune, he turned into an escaping light and lifted off into the sky with great effort.
Looking at that annoying back, Qin Tian's eyes gradually became cold. His seemingly serious injuries healed within a few breaths, and a trace of murderous intent suddenly rose in his heart.
Originally, he avoided such villains and didn't take them seriously at all, but now it seems that the situation may be different.
After all, for those who dare to be so arrogant in front of Qin, their final fate will not be much better. Otherwise, where will the overwhelming evil energy come from to practice the divine art?
But there are still business matters to be done now, and there will be many opportunities for revenge in the future, so Qin Tian does not want to delay any more. When it is dead of night, he walks towards the mountain gate alone.
.............................
The wind howled and dust filled the sky.
The moonlight in the sky was obscured by dark clouds, and there was darkness on the earth. There was also a horrifying whimper echoing in the sky. It was obviously another dark and windy night for a month.
And in the vast darkness of the night, a Black Dragon Guard, wearing a mask with a grimace on his head and wrapped in a black robe, who had reached the late stage of becoming a god, was sneaking quietly using the breath-condensing method, as if he was carefully tracking something.
This place is thousands of miles away from Jade Cauldron Mountain, and there is no need to worry about being noticed by the Shangzong. Therefore, the man in black robe is less worried and immediately takes out the jade sound transmission talisman, intending to pass on the news here.
However, at this critical moment, the target being tracked in front suddenly disappeared. Only the sound of breaking wind sounded violently, and three dazzling streams of light streaked across the sky, shooting at a speed that was almost difficult to distinguish with the naked eye.
Only when he got closer did he realize that they were actually three extremely sharp Lingbao arrows!
Seeing this situation, especially when he noticed the terrifying power of the arrow, the Black Dragon Guard was shocked. He quickly used his defensive spirit treasure to resist, and at the same time, he quickly dodged to the side.
However, in the face of absolute strength, all struggles are in vain, and the final end is already doomed.
Along with the roar, a dazzling light exploded in the air, and the shrill wails suddenly stopped. When everything calmed down, only a headless corpse fell to the ground.
The Black Dragon Guard in the late stage of becoming a god was so stunned that he was instantly killed on the spot without even having time to spread the news!
At this moment, Qin Tian, who was hiding in the dark, slowly emerged. He then reached out to take the three returning arrows and shook off the blood stains on them. There was no trace of emotion on his expression, as if he had been crushed to death by hand. An ant!
He had already expected this and was prepared to deal with it in advance, so he was naturally not surprised.
But in order to avoid unnecessary complications, he did not want to stay too long. After collecting the scattered storage rings and destroying the corpses, he turned into escaping light and continued flying towards the sky.
After careful consideration, he dared not choose the Burning Heaven Region as the place of retreat for this trip, and could only head towards the neighboring outer region. The teleportation array through the Holy City was undoubtedly the fastest route, which could also avoid many risks.
But things often have twists and turns.
Before Qin Tian flew far, his powerful spiritual power, about dozens of miles behind, keenly captured a trace of abnormal fluctuations. Although the vitality of the heaven and earth in that area quickly recovered, what this situation meant was self-evident.
Obviously, there was more than one pursuer in the dark!
