Remember for a second [Think โรท Ke โ Xiao โณ said ยง Net . Org], wonderful free reading without pop-ups!
In just ten days in the Lingji Cave Heaven, a whole month has passed in Shenzhou.
And when Shao Heng went all the way north towards Kunlun at this time, it was already spring and summer.
When Shao Heng overlooked the earth and found that the grass and trees on the ground were gradually thinning and began to be covered with a thin white frost, he knew that he had entered the northern border of Shenzhou.
The north is bitterly cold, there are many cedar and pine trees, but the distribution is not very dense, and the mountains rise and fall like a sleeping dragon.
Shao Heng was in the air, and he had an unobstructed view of the northern land very clearly.
The scorching sun hung high, but little temperature reached the north, as if the chill of the day, year after year, was carved into every part of the north.
Although Shen Yuanxi gave a detailed account of what happened recently, he didn't know who was among the people who went to Kunlun to find Xiao Zhuo for an explanation.
If the master behind Jiang Huai had already premeditated, eighty percent of the people who came to Kunlun this time were also mixed in.
Shao Heng had been running in a hurry all the way, but after entering the northern border, he realized the difficulty of this behavior.
First, Kunlun Mountain covers an extremely wide area, and the wind is known as "one of the top ten Jedi in Shenzhou", the world only knows that Xiao Zhuo lives in Kunlun but does not know where in Kunlun Mountain.
Although Xiao Yu has revealed some words in the past, it is not easy for Shao Heng to find the location of Xiao's uncle and nephew.
Second, Wanbao Pavilion does not show mountain dew on weekdays, but this time when he raised his arms, others knew that its forces were actually distributed in two ways, each with its own strategy. The monks who came with him this time were a mixture of dragons and snakes, including long-established casual cultivators, new masters of small sects, and even demon families. Among them, there are still many people who have some old grudges with Cun Weishan, and Shao Heng, the identity of Cun Weishan's personal disciple, is not qualified enough, and others will not be easily persuaded by his words.
In the blink of an eye, several methods flashed in Shao Heng's heart, but they were not very satisfied, and before he knew it, the speed of the sword gradually slowed down.
Shao Heng was distracted and thinking about what to do when he arrived at Kunlun Mountain, when suddenly a powerful divine sense came from below, and it was about to sweep over him!
The Heavenly Machine Sword shook rapidly, and Shao Heng subconsciously retreated backwards for hundreds of miles in an instant.
That divine sense swept through the air, and Shao Heng, who did not find Shao Heng who had dodged in time and hid himself with the Heavenly Illusion Bead, fell back to the ground.
Shao Heng touched his back and found that Fang had just broken out in a cold sweat.
Fang Cai's divine sense is so powerful, if there is no accident, he should be a monk in the primordial infancy.
That is, that person released his divine consciousness just unintentionally and arbitrarily, otherwise, with Shao Heng's cultivation and unpreparedness, how could he escape the detection of the other party's divine sense?
The northern border is sparsely populated, and demon cultivators don't like to live here.
For no reason, a Yuanying monk appeared in the bitter cold north, and Shao Heng's heart immediately moved.
He quietly lowered his sword light in the distance, stepped forward, and with the concealment of the Heavenly Illusion Bead, he rushed in the direction of the source of his divine consciousness.
Sure enough, as Shao Heng expected, in the pine forest ahead, dozens of monks were camping in a leeward col waiting for something.
Shao Heng restrained his breath and disappeared in the distance, looking at the clothes on some of them, which were the same as the Wanbao Pavilion and his party that he had seen in Beihai before, he was sure that these people were the people who Wanbao Pavilion had gathered to find Xiao Zhuo's trouble.
It's just that why aren't these people much faster than him, but even more so stuck here and don't move on?
Shao Heng thought about it in his heart and roughly guessed a few points.
Although Wanbaoge raised his arms and took the lead in inviting relatives and friends to help. However, most of the power in the Demon Gate family is in the south of Yunmeng Daze, and the other people invited by the Wanbao Pavilion are also scattered all over the place. Therefore, although Shen Yuanxi had learned that they had made a move a few days ago, he had only rushed to the northern border today.
As for why he was stranded here, Shao Heng had a few guesses.
Although the northern border is a bitter cold land, few demon beasts are infested, but the people who survive here are all powerful demons, and it is not impossible to be cautious in order to avoid alarming some demon beasts.
It's just that since there is a Yuanying Monk among the other party, the demon beast is not a problem.
On the other hand, the northern border is coming, and Kunlun is approaching. Mr. Qinghua was famous after he was born, and few people dared to compete with him head-on, and Xiao Zhuo was also a master of the formation, perhaps because these people were afraid and discussed countermeasures here.
The last and greatest possibility is that these people have not gathered, and they are waiting for more or higher cultivators here, so that they can go to Kunlun to find Xiao Zhuo again.
Mr. Xiao Zhuo of Qinghua entered the Yuan Infant at the beginning of that year, and he fought with one enemy and seven, killed three and injured four, and finally retreated, which is still talked about among the high-rollers in China. Now Xiao Zhuo's true cultivation is still a mystery, but if only one Yuanying monk is present, I am afraid that he will really be reduced to the point of being driven out of Kunlun by Xiao Zhuo.
Shao Heng concentrated his breath and hid aside quietly to observe, and found that after a while, sure enough, there were people in the air who landed near here alone or in groups, and walked towards the mountain col station.
Some people can get close to the center of the station and sit with the people of the Ten Thousand Treasure Pavilion or the Demon Gate family after a brief conversation with the guards dressed in the Ten Thousand Treasure Pavilion and the Demon Gate family, while others will find a corner and sit scattered around the periphery like some people in different costumes.
Shao Heng took a cursory look and found that there were not a few people who did not belong to the Wanbao Pavilion and did not belong to the various demon families, and the cultivation was also high and low, and the dragons and snakes were mixed.
"That Yuanying monk should be a member of the Wanbao Pavilion, but the strength of the Wu, Ye, and Liu clans should not be underestimated. It's just that although these people came to the north together, they are obviously divided into factions. According to the center of the Wanbao Pavilion, the Demon Gate family occupies a corner, and the rest should be some casual cultivators who have come to join in the fun......" Shao Heng thought in his heart, only to feel that he simply blended in with these people and accompanied him all the way, so that he could act at the opportunity.
Xiao Zhuo's residence in Kunlun has long been known to the world, but no one has found any trace of him in Kunlun.
Shao Heng thought to himself, if these people returned in vain this time, it would save a lot of troubles. If he had been in the mix, he would not have helped to show them the way. If you can take the opportunity to mislead them in the direction and delay a moment or two to give Shen Yuanxi and them time to find out the truth, it is the best. If Xiao Zhuo is really found by the other party, he will find a way to find out the details of these people along the way, and maybe he can bring in a few sensible allies, which is better than acting alone.
Thinking of this, Shao Heng quietly retreated from here, found a secret place, changed his appearance with the Heavenly Illusion Jewel, turned into a very ordinary and inconspicuous young monk, and then made a look of stumbling and riding the clouds, and returned to this mountain col.
Sure enough, this time, Wanbaoge and the others didn't care who the people who came to help were who they were, for them, the more people they had, the better.
It's just that Shao Heng's somewhat grizzled appearance, coupled with his cowering demeanor, made a trace of disdain flash in the eyes of the guards of Wanbao Pavilion, and his mouth was still the polite words that he had said many times: "Thank you for your help, please take a nap or two." โ
"Please...... Excuse me......" Shao Heng deliberately stumbled and said, "I...... When are we going to leave for Kunlun Mountain?"
The guard waved his hand impatiently and said, "Naturally, I'll wait until a few seniors have arrived, so you can go and wait first!"
The other guard glanced at his companion, and his tone was respectful: "There are still a few friends of my Wanbao Pavilion who are still on the way, knights, please rest for the night first, and they will leave about tomorrow morning." โ
Shao Heng made a grateful look on his face, walked to the group of loose cultivators, and found an open space in the corner to sit down.
When the group of casual cultivators saw an inconspicuous and cowering young monk entering alone, they were curious at first, and then when they saw that the cultivator had just cultivated his qi, they all thought in their hearts: "This kind of cultivator dares to come here alone, I'm afraid they don't know who Xiao Zhuo is, right?"
Someone even mocked his companion in a low voice, but the companion glanced at Shao Heng with a strange gaze, then turned back and whispered: "What is this, look at that person......"
He pointed to the thin man who also looked like he was huddled in a corner and said, "That person is only in the Qi Induction Period, and he dares to come here even if he can't even refine and refine Qi...... Qi Nourishment Period...... Anyway, what are you afraid of in the crowd?"
Shao Heng pretended to close his eyes and recuperate, but his divine sense had been quietly observing the surroundings under the cover of the Heavenly Illusion Bead, and naturally he also heard the conversation between the two people, and couldn't help but look curiously at the corner where the person they were talking about was.
Sure enough, I saw a thin young man huddled up against the mountain wall, his face covered with a gray and shabby felt hat, as if he was sleeping.
Shao Heng's divine sense swept away, and he knew that the two of them were right, this thin man was indeed just a monk of the eighth layer of qi induction.
Seeing this situation, Shao Heng's eyebrows furrowed slightly, and he turned his gaze away, quietly releasing his divine sense again, observing who were around.
The Heavenly Illusion Bead is the supreme treasure of the Star Luo Sect, and all the essence of illusion is included in this bead.
If Shao Heng didn't have this treasure in his body, he would never dare to be so presumptuous under the nose of a Yuanying monk, let alone easily blend into this place.
It's just that in the end, Shao Heng didn't dare to get too obviously close to the center of the mountain col station.
However, even if he let his divine sense enter easily, Shao Heng was afraid that he would be blind.
Whether it is Wanbao Pavilion or the Demon Gate Family, Shao Heng has never dealt with it.
The only impression is that near Beihai Shell Island, there was a relationship before entering the Lingji Cave Heaven. Within the Lingji Cave Heaven, Shao Heng had never encountered the disciples of these forces, and he had never fought against them.
He can only roughly guess the identity of the other party by relying on the direction in which the other party is sitting and what he is wearing, and he doesn't know anything about the details of his name.
While he was worried, Shao Heng suddenly felt someone approaching beside him, turned his head to look, and saw a thin figure moving to his side at some point, holding a gray-white shabby felt hat with one hand, rubbing his eyes with the other, and buzzing to himself: "Brother, do you have anything to eat?"
Although the voice was changed by the other party's efforts, Shao Heng's ears were clear, but he still heard a hint from it.
This thin little monk who is only in the period of qi induction is clearly disguised by a young woman!
