Chapter Ninety-Eight: Ambush
The four people led by Ling Yuanzi, although a large amount of spiritual power began to be absorbed by the mountain body at a rapid rate, after all, they were all high-level awakened people or above, and their physical strength was still far beyond that of ordinary people.
The palace of Tianfan Sect was also built on this huge mountain, and the four of them were running in the direction of the palace on the mountain, and they didn't look at the road at all, whether it was the number of people blocking the road, or the cliffs, they all easily flew up with their bare hands.
The pursuers behind them mainly rely on the high elastic rope in their hands, and the elasticity of the rope provides them with better, less effort and more flexible mobility, but this way of traveling is completely helpless when encountering a vertical cliff.
Therefore, the chasing team was quickly thrown off by four people at a vertical cliff.
Seeing that the pursuers were not there, Ling Yuanzi walked leisurely again, and at the same time proudly showed off: "How about it? I'll just say I've been here! I already knew that if I found a vertical place like this, they wouldn't be able to catch up, so I didn't panic at all!"
Wang Xiaoer glanced at it and said, "Well, you are really powerful, all of which you expected, so may I ask, this vertical cliff is a trap, did you expect it?"
Ling Yuanzi: "Impossible, I've been here, the last time I came... Before Ling Yuanzi finished speaking, he found that he was surrounded by patrols like just now, not to mention hundreds, and there were people everywhere, and the four of them had already been surrounded.
When Ling Yuanzi saw this, he hurriedly said to the people around him: "I am the head of the Five Traces Sect, Ling Yuanzi, I have something important to see the head of your sect, Sizhao Tongzi!"
At this time, the patrol of the group just now appeared, and the leader who replied turned out to be the same leader he had just met at the bottom of the cliff.
Leader: "Chirp crooked, I told you a long time ago, I don't know you, I want to see the head of my family, I have to pass three levels!"
Wang Xiaoer whispered to Ling Yuanzi, "Didn't you say that you have been here, as long as you cross the cliff, you can get rid of them?
Ling Yuanzi said helplessly: "It shouldn't be, that's how I got them away last time!"
The leader heard the conversation between Wang Xiaoer and Ling Yuanzi, and said proudly: "Hahahahahaha, let me tell you, that guy came last time, and we improved this bundle of immortal ropes, and now this kind of cliff is no different from flat ground for us!"
All the patrolmen around them burst into laughter when they heard the leader say this.
Seeing that everyone didn't take him seriously, Ling Yuanzi slapped an uncle with a diameter of more than two meters next to him, and a loud "bang~" made everyone jump, and at the same time, the big tree was forcibly broken by Ling Yuanzi's huge palm. Then the uncle fell to the ground.
This scene shocked all the patrolmen.
Seeing this, Ling Yuanzi said with satisfaction, "Can you take us to meet your head now?"
The leader put away his arrogance just now, and said respectfully, "Please come with us!"
Wang Xiaoer shook his head helplessly: "What kind of habit is this, it's not good to talk well, you have to show some strength?"
Ling Yuanzi: "The habits of their sect have never been like this, these patrolmen are arrogant, and the style of not taking others in their eyes is definitely not the little four sects, it seems that there is something wrong within the sect!"
The leader led the way in front, and at the same time waved his hand before setting off, and suddenly all the patrols dispersed in an instant, disappearing from the vision of the four.
Sure enough, with the leader of the patrol leading the way, the speed of travel was much faster, and the four of them found that this leader avoided the roads that could be walked when several people took certain routes, deliberately sometimes hooked trees to skip, and sometimes deliberately detoured to pass.
Wang Xiaoer was puzzled: "Is there a trap?"
Ling Yuanzi was also dissatisfied, and said to the leader unceremoniously: "Before I get angry, you'd better tell the truth, why do you take a detour?"
The leader also found out that Ling Yuanzi's strength was far above his own, so he no longer concealed it, and said honestly: "Our mountain itself is a huge spiritual energy body, this is not a secret, those who have been in the rivers and lakes for a long time know it, especially in the circle of cultivators, they all take being able to practice here as a free way to quickly improve their strength!"
Ling Yuanzi said impatiently: "Talk about the point!"
Leader: "So more and more cultivators are pouring into the range of our Luoxia Mountain, after all, it is our sphere of influence, these foreign cultivators can't drive away, because of this matter, the conflict has been continuous, which is why the people of our patrol team are on call, the scale of our patrol team is very large, firstly, to maintain law and order here, and secondly, this is also an opportunity for our newcomers to practice!"
Ling Yuanzi's eyes showed a fierce light, and he said word by word: "Say ~ heavy ~ point!"
The leader suddenly realized that he was far away again, and hurriedly corrected: "Oh, yes, among these cultivators, there are many of them with quite good strength, these people do not hesitate to break into the mountain gate in order to improve their strength, the most exaggerated thing is that there were once cultivators who broke into the master's gate, and then everyone was severely punished for this matter, and then one of the means that we can deal with these invaders and reduce casualties is to lay various traps along the way!"
As he spoke, as if he had opened the conversation, the leader continued: "Don't think it's some simple and clumsy secret weapon, these traps we have set up, even if they are ninth-order super advanced awakened people, they will have to die after being hit, it is these traps that have helped us kill a lot of invading cultivators, which has made us clean here for a lot of days, until you come!"
Ling Yuanzi, Wang Xiaoer and the others were originally very bored after following the leader, so they simply listened to the leader's words as a story, but when they heard the last sentence, Ling Yuanzi couldn't help laughing: "Hahahaha, if it weren't for someone looking for your head of the door on a matter of life, we wouldn't have come to this ghost place!
The leader slowly found that Ling Yuanzi and the others seemed to be very easy to speak, so he also let go: "Although it is said that this mountain can absorb spiritual power, it is also beneficial!"
Ling Yuanzi: "What's the benefit?"
Leader: "Exercise!"
Everyone: "... ”
The leader understood that everyone had misunderstood what he meant, and quickly explained: "I mean, because this mountain can absorb spiritual power like crazy, everyone is back to almost the same running line here, isn't this also another kind of fairness?"
Wang Xiaoer: "This is just psychological comfort, for a real master, even if there is no spiritual power, he can still have the strength to crush!"
Leader: "That's true, but I've tried my best to bring most of the cultivators who are not particularly strong to the same level!", he smiled with satisfaction.
Everyone was chatting, Wang Xiaoer suddenly shouted: "Be careful!", the voice was coming, only to see several tongues of fire shooting out on both sides of the road around everyone, Wang Xiaoer and others quickly dodged. The leader didn't have time to react and was shot into a hornet's nest.
