In the desert, a horse-drawn carriage is galloping.

There were two horses pulling the cart, but they were not ordinary species, but fierce beasts.

The sand pony is a yellow-level fierce beast, not very aggressive, but as a desert mount, it is a first-class.

It is brownish-red, much larger than an ordinary horse, and can travel in harsh desert terrain, and can maintain a high speed without sleep for two days and two nights, and is unusually hard-working.

According to the previous conditions, Yan Qing couldn't afford to use this kind of sand horse. But since he stood out from the new election conference and successfully entered the Yanyun Sect, his value has risen overall.

Of course, the price of the two sand-stepping horses is still very high, and Yan Qingyong can barely afford it, but he does not buy it for use, but rents it.

Being able to rent this kind of extremely practical sand-stepping horse is actually due to his status as a disciple of the Yanyun Sect, otherwise even if he can afford to pay the price, he may not be able to rent it.

"Ah Cheng, at our speed, it won't take us a few days to reach the stronghold. ”

The intelligence of the sand horse is not low, and it doesn't even need a special driver to keep an eye on it, so Yan Qing and his female companion Ah Cheng sat in the carriage to alleviate the scorching heat of the outside world.

"Well, it's good that we'll go and see it this time, and the master has repeatedly warned me not to do anything conspicuous when I get to the stronghold, so as not to cause unnecessary trouble. ”

Ah Cheng is still the same as a woman, and her speech is still buzzing.

However, even if her appearance is not pleasing, her identity and status are not the same as before, and she is much stronger than Yan Qing.

First of all, she persevered for a long time under the blue light of the stone statue of the Lion Bullying Beast, showing that her potential was not small, so she was later accepted as a disciple by a high-ranking figure.

Moreover, Ah Cheng herself is also very competitive, with the help and guidance of some resources from her master, it took her two months to break through to the realm of unity in one fell swoop.

On the other hand, Yan Qing, although he was also concerned by many people because he came out of the new conference, he was only in a state of concern. He had been cultivating hard during this time, but there was no sign of a breakthrough, and he was even a significant distance away, so he had not yet attracted some seniors to take him in.

In fact, this is a normal phenomenon, Ah Cheng's kind of person who immediately came to accept her as a disciple, after all, it is an example. Generally, in the case of Yan Qing, he will wait and see for a while, and during this time, he will show his potential, or break through in one fell swoop, and then someone will find him.

Because he understood this, Yan Qing was not discouraged, and while he was happy for Ah Cheng, he was also working hard.

The benefits of joining the Yanyun Sect are obvious.

Even if he doesn't have a master for the time being, he can go to the library to copy the exercises and martial arts and practice by himself.

The most important thing is the soul refining technique, which is necessary to improve the soul power. Most of the casual cultivators outside can only be soul condensing martial artists for the rest of their lives, just because there is no soul refining technique.

Compared with the exercises of refining the body and refining the qi, the soul refining exercises are too rare, and most of them are in the hands of the family and the sect.

Why did Yan Qing go so desperately to participate in the new election conference? Wasn't it mainly for a soul refining technique?

Of course, he is only an ordinary disciple now, and with his authority, he can only get the yellow-level soul refining exercises, but it is enough, and when the realm breaks through, his authority will naturally increase, and there will be more and better options for the exercises he can get.

"Ah Cheng, our identity has changed now, and we don't have to worry about any trouble. After arriving at the stronghold, we will join our fellow sects as soon as possible, but we want to see who dares to provoke our Yanyun Sect. ”

Yan Qing had been cautious before, he had had enough, and now he hugged Yanyun Sect's thigh, and his mentality changed.

"It's better not to be too ostentatious, after all, in addition to Yanyun Sect, there are several top forces with the same name in that stronghold. ”

Ah Cheng was originally a peasant girl, and she was from a humble background compared to Yan Qing, and some of her thinking was still retained, so that she still maintained a cautious attitude towards everything in her current status.

"Okay, Ah Cheng, you can do whatever you say, I will listen to you. ”

Yan Qing said with a smile.

This actually shows the nuances of status. Originally, the two were partners, basically in the same position, and Yan Qing was even higher. But now, he is faintly shorter, and he is more concerned about Ah Cheng's feelings.

"Well, don't talk about that, I think I hear something, right in front of us. ”

Ah Cheng carefully felt the slight change in Yan Qing's attitude towards herself, and she was a little uncomfortable with this, so she immediately changed the topic.

And she didn't talk nonsense. After she broke through to the realm of unity, her master accepted her as a personal disciple and taught her a secret method. It is a secret method to improve the body's senses, especially the hearing has been enhanced a lot, making it more responsive in battle. It seems to be just a small auxiliary ability, but in fact, relying on this can often get an advantage in battle, so as to expand the results of the battle.

"Right front?"

Yan Qing knew that Ah Cheng would not say anything, so he moved and leaned out of the carriage to look.

At first, all he saw was a patch of sand, but he squinted and continued to stare at it, and soon his complexion changed slightly. Sure enough, a figure appeared in his field of vision, from small to large, and there was more than one.

"There are two people, it seems that they are chasing and fleeing, should we get around?"

Yan Qing retracted into the carriage and said to Ah Cheng.

"I'll take a look. ”

Ah Cheng's eyesight has also improved, although it is not as strong as hearing, but it is still much higher than Yan Qing.

As she spoke, she leaned out, and after just one look, she immediately came back and said, "It's Zhou Liao, he's being hunted down." ”

"What? You mean Zhou Liao?"

Yan Qing was stunned for a moment, he didn't expect that it was an acquaintance, and it was Zhou Liao, who had a good relationship with him before, and could be regarded as a friend.

"It's him, and he should have seen our carriage coming. ”

Ah Cheng looked out again and said after confirmation.

"Are you sure that there is only one person chasing him?

Yan Qing asked with a frown.

"I didn't find anyone else, and the person chasing Zhou Liao shouldn't have reached the Unity Realm, so I can't tell where it came from. ”

Ah Cheng understood what Yan Qing meant by asking this, so he said truthfully.

"Okay, then let's take action, we can't see death without help, and I don't think the other party will come out of any big force." ”

Hearing that the other party was not in the realm of unity, Yan Qing suddenly relaxed a lot. And if the background of the other party cannot be distinguished, it is very likely that the possibility of coming from a big force is ruled out. Because the slightly more decent forces often have uniform clothing, at least some conspicuous features, so that outsiders can recognize them at a glance.

"I'll strike first later, you don't have to move, just help me press the formation on the side. ”

As he spoke, he nodded to Ah Cheng, and jumped out of the carriage as soon as he bent over.
