With a bang, the long sword that was expected to pierce Xiao Jing's body did not stab down, but was cut off by Xiao Jing's sword with one hand of the second child holding the sword, and the long sword fell to the ground with one hand.

"Ah, if you kill us, you don't want to live, my master is an elder of the sect, he will avenge us, you will also die, you will definitely die!" The second child rolled to the ground in pain, howling heartbreakingly.

"It's a pity you don't see that day anymore. With that, Xiao Jing ended his life with a sword.

Looking at the three corpses lying on the ground, Xiao Jing couldn't tell what he felt in his heart, he could be said to have won this battle, but he didn't have the slightest sense of joy of victory, but his heart was full of faint sadness.

After a slight pause, Xiao Jing took out a new set of robes from the space ring and put them on, and then slowly walked towards Ziyun City, he still had a lot of things to do, thinking that there would be more powerful masters in the Xuantian Sect soon, he had seen Long Mobai's strength with his own eyes, and Long Mobai was only one of the elders of the Xuantian Sect.

Back at home, it was not yet dawn at this time, so the family was still sleeping deeply, Xiao Jing walked into his room alone, and continued to sit cross-legged in the Spirit Gathering Array to begin to recover the true qi consumed before.

I have to say that this Spirit Gathering Array is really wonderful, the surrounding aura is evenly absorbed, and it will not be sensed at all if it is far away, otherwise if it absorbs the surrounding aura indiscriminately, I am afraid that soon there will be no living creatures within the influence range of the Spirit Gathering Array.

Xiao Jing finally stopped cultivating when the sky was just dawning, and after reaching the spirit realm, Xiao Jing rarely needed sleep, he got up and checked the spirit stones used in the lower array, and found that after nearly a night of cultivation, the consumption of spirit stones was almost undetectable, at this rate, I am afraid that a spirit gathering array can only consume less than ten of his lower grade spirit stones in a month, which is like the night before.

"Liao Cheng asked to see Lord Xiao. At this moment, the voice of the Liao City Lord suddenly came to mind outside the door.

How familiar this picture is, every time Xiao Jing came home from Ziyun Gate to visit relatives in the past, this Liao City Lord could come to see him as soon as possible, and every time he stood outside the door like today, he never dared to step into the door without permission.

"City Lord Liao, welcome to come, please come in quickly. "Stretch out your hand and don't hit the smiling person, although it was very unpleasant before, Xiao Jing also wanted to see what Liao Cheng wanted to do.

"Lord Xiao, the City Lord's Mansion has been cleaned up for you, you and your family can move in at any time, in addition, I beg Lord Xiao to take it in, otherwise Xuantian Sect will never let me go. At this time, Liao Cheng swept away his previous proud look, knelt on the ground and said with a flattering face.

"Haha, City Lord Liao, where is this, please hurry up. Xiao Jing smiled when he heard this, Liao Cheng didn't know what to do, it became too fast.

"Lord Xiao, please take me in, otherwise I will really have no place to stay, the subordinates and guards of the City Lord's Mansion before are also under the dispatch of Lord Xiao, please Lord Xiao don't refuse." Liao Cheng didn't dare to get up, for fear of provoking Xiao Jing to change his face if he was a little inappropriate.

"City Lord Liao, where is this, we will all be a family in the future, I really have no one available under me for a while, and I still count on City Lord Liao to give me some advice. "Although Xiao Jing doesn't look down on this Liao Cheng, I think he won't make any more big waves, Liao Cheng was also a good hand at managing Ziyun City before, and with his assistance, he should be more handy in the early stage.

"Lord Xiao, don't bother me, just call me Liao Cheng in the future, the city lord will be you in the future, Xiao City Lord, please accept Liao Cheng's worship!" Liao Cheng was also overjoyed when he heard this, and hurriedly bowed to Xiao Jing again and again.

The City Lord's Mansion is very large, and the big one makes Xiao Jing's family feel empty, even if Su Lin's family also moves in together, they still feel empty, and they are used to the small courtyard, and it is a little difficult to adapt to it for a while, but they will always adapt.

After arranging for his family to move in, Xiao Jing's first thing was to arrange a large defensive array, he didn't know when the master of Xuantian Sect would come, he wasn't worried about it, but he had to ensure the safety of his family.

After a busy day, the people who stayed in the City Lord's Mansion didn't know what Xiao Jing was doing, they only saw him going east, west, south, and north, and walked through the entire corner of the City Lord's Mansion, those people only thought that Xiao Jing was familiar with the environment of the City Lord's Mansion, and they didn't think much about it, of course, they didn't dare to think about anything, now Xiao Jing is their lifeline, if Xiao Jing is killed by Xuantian Sect, I'm afraid none of them will be better.

At nightfall, after moving into the City Lord's Mansion, Xiao Jing had his own practice room, at this time he was sitting cross-legged in the small spirit gathering array and cultivating, Xuantian Sect was too powerful, he had to speed up his growth speed, and he could compete with Xuantian Sect as soon as possible.

"Boy, now that you and your family have settled down for a short time, there is something I have to ask you to help me do. In between Xiao Jing's cultivation, Ziyu said loudly.

"Master Ziyu, why did you suddenly become so polite to me, if you have anything to order, Xiao Jing will definitely go all out. Xiao Jing suddenly saw Ziyu so polite, and he was a little uncomfortable.

"Haha, kid, it's not difficult, I just need you to help me find some herbs or objects that will help me renew my soul. ”

"Don't worry, Master Ziyu, I'll look for it tomorrow. ”

Xiao Jing knew that Ziyu had almost exhausted the soul power that had been cultivated for thousands of years in order to save herself, and her soul state was already unable to cultivate, and Ziyu had experienced a thousand years of consumption, so it could be said that it was almost time to run out of oil and dry up, which was also fortunate that there were some herbs available in the space ring before, otherwise Ziyu would have been out of soul before she met Xiao Jing, so this matter was also urgent.

"Well, it's good for you to pay attention, the first half a year can be said to be just to let you improve your cultivation and cultivate, a little hasty, after all, your previous cultivation method was a little too rough, but you don't know that cultivation is only a part, and there is one point that is particularly important, that is, the cultivation of your physique, your current body is too fragile. ”

I remember when I first started cultivating, Master first asked me and my brothers to lay a foundation for the body, and at that time, I didn't suffer less, running 30 laps back and forth from up and down the mountain every day, and I also trained in the combination of various basic skills of quenching the body. Xiao Jing was a little puzzled when he heard this.

"Well, your master did the right thing, but the cultivation of the physique is not just enough to practice for a period of time in the introductory stage, it can be said that whether a cultivator is strong or not, the physique can account for fifty percent or even more proportions, the aura is like water, and our body is like a pond, only the pond is big enough and strong enough to fill more water, in order to make a person's strength stronger. ”

After Ziyu's explanation, Xiao Jing understood, this is also the key to why the strength of two people at the same level is vastly different, and of course it has a lot to do with the exercises they practice.

Ziyu's method of quenching Xiao Jing's body can be described as simple and direct, that is, practice, practice the most basic exercises, and then use the herbs that are beneficial to the body to soak in a medicinal bath, and the body will inevitably become stronger and stronger in the long run.

"Running Thunder" This is the first exercise that Ziyu asked Xiao Jing to practice, of course, this is only the basic exercise, Xiao Jing thought that the basic exercises didn't matter about those training methods, but when Xiao Jing saw "Running Thunder", it was really opened to his eyes, it turned out that the cultivation of the body and the exercise of the body are completely different things.

There are only three layers of this set of "Running Thunder" exercises, namely: rigid body, soft heart, and spirit, which doesn't seem to be much, but when you really cultivate, Xiao Jing knows that even if you want to reach the lowest level of rigid body, it is not simple, according to this division, the current Xiao Jing is like a weak child, and he is not in the stream at all.

Xiao Jing got up early before dawn every day, first practiced a set of "Running Thunder" exercises in the martial arts field, and then absorbed the aura while soaking in the medicinal bath, and in the blink of an eye, three months passed, in addition to being with his family and properly supervising Liao Cheng's management of Ziyun City, during the period, he only went out to purchase some drugs needed to quench the body and renew the soul, as for the utensils for renewing the soul, Xiao Jing had no way to find it for a while, that thing was too scarce.

Three months is not long, but it is not short, Xiao Jing has been cultivating for three months, but he still has not reached the rigid body level of "Ben Lei". During this period, Xuantian Sect just sent someone to Ziyun City to spread the word once, that is, some words such as intimidation and surrender, which were directly ignored by Xiao Jing and ignored it, the strange thing is that I don't know why Xuantian Sect didn't send another master to find him, which made Xiao Jing a little confused, even if the rest of Xuantian Sect didn't come to the door, would the master of the three brothers just forget it, Xiao Jing felt that it was not so simple.

As everyone knows, at this time, the Xuantian Sect, which is thousands of miles away, has fallen into a panic, the Xuantian Sect is located in the Haoyu Mountain Range in the west of the central part of the Longyun Continent, and the entire Xuantian Sect has tens of thousands of disciples, which can be said to be the sect with the largest number of people in the entire Longyun Continent, but the three strongest elders of the Xuantian Sect thousands of years ago went out for some reason, and all of them were seriously injured, and Long Xiangtian was the most seriously injured, and the Xuantian Sect was almost the strength of the entire sect, and there was still no way, Long Xiangtian died.

Soon after Long Xiangtian's death, for some reason, the Haoyu Mountain Range, which had been calm and impermanent for tens of thousands of years, often heard a terrible misty sound, accompanied by a black mist often leaking out from the cracks in the mountain range, as if there was a peerless demon hiding in this mountain range, Xuantian Sect thought about exploring several times, but he has not been able to find the root cause.

At first, it was okay, only once every few months before there was such a change, but today, that kind of sound and black fog is becoming more and more frequent, almost every three or five days, there are sounds and black fog rising, causing a Xuantian Sect to be filled with black fog all day long, and there are constantly Xuantian Sect disciples entering the deep mountains to cultivate but disappearing for no reason, although the loss of a few disciples is not a big deal for Xuantian Sect, but such a strange situation also makes Xuantian Sect panic, and many disciples don't even dare to stay here.

Later, the elders of Xuantian Sect inquired countless ancient books and learned that the Ziyun Secret Book may be useful for this anomaly, originally Xuantian Sect wanted to find the Ziyun Gate to borrow the secret book, but how can the secret book of a sect be borrowed from others casually, and that Liu Bozhong is simply like an old stubborn, oil and salt do not enter, which led to the incident of Xuantian Sect's bloodbath of Ziyun Gate later, and took the opportunity to seize Ziyun Mountain, and many disciples were temporarily placed here.

But how can the Ziyun Secret Book be said to be a cultivation achievement, even Liu Bozhong's years of cultivation can only be a beginner, although Liu Bozhong's qualifications are a little worse than some elders of Xuantian Sect, but it is not too different, not to mention, what Xuantian Sect didn't expect was that this Liu Bozhong's qualifications were not very good, but his soul power was outrageously powerful, they almost exhausted all kinds of soul search methods, and they failed to obtain the complete Ziyun Secret Book.

For this reason, all the elders almost retreated collectively, while thinking of obtaining more information about the Ziyun Secret Book from Liu Bozhong, and on the other hand, collectively exchanging and comprehending the existing secret book part, so what happened in the outside world during this period did not reach the ears of these elders at all, although there were disciples wandering at the door of the elders' retreat every day, but at such a tense moment, no disciple dared to disturb easily.

Bang...

The sound of the stone door opening, the disciples guarding the door were about to move forward as soon as possible, but seeing that the elders all looked tired, they suddenly stopped their steps, I don't know when it started, the elders became a little tyrannical, so that many disciples did not dare to approach easily.

"This time there is still some gain, I vaguely feel that there seems to be a way to break the abnormality, but I can't grasp this key point. "The person at the head is none other than Long Batian, and he seems to be much older than before at this time.

"But we have finally gained something, and I believe that we will find a solution soon. Long Wentian on the side echoed.

The disciples guarding outside the door saw that the elders who came out this time seemed to be in a good mood, and finally mustered up the courage to step forward, "Report to the elders, the person who escaped from the Purple Cloud Gate before has now returned to Purple Cloud City, and his strength has increased greatly, and Purple Cloud City is now under his control, and... And..."

"And what, come quickly!" Long Mobai, who was standing behind, took a step forward and said, because it was the team he led to clear the Purple Cloud Gate before, and this matter should also be his responsibility.

"Three months ago, Na Liao Cheng reported that the third brother of the Long clan planned to kill him because he had chased and killed that person before, but that person's strength increased greatly and killed all the three senior brothers of the Long clan. The man who spoke was frightened, and he feared that he would bring harm to himself, but he did not dare to hide it or not report it.

"What, my three apprentices are dead?" Long Mobai heard this, his body shook for a while, and his entire face instantly turned pale.

It turned out that the eldest and the second and third were Long Mobai's personal disciples, and the three of them were like brothers, so the sect called them the third brother of the Long family.

"I went and slaughtered the boy to avenge my three good disciples. Long Mobai stepped on his sword and disappeared almost instantly, and all the elders on the side raised their heads, wanting to say something but not saying anything.

"Fourth Elder, Sixth Elder, you go and follow the Fifth Elder, avoid extraneous branches, and let him maintain his kindness and not kill innocents indiscriminately. Seeing that Long Mobai flew away without greeting him, Long Batian commanded.

Immediately following the four elders and the six elders, they also stepped on their swords and hurried towards Long Mobai's direction, no one noticed that in the stone room of retreat behind them, an old man with a cloak and a disheveled hair suddenly lit up when he heard that there were still survivors in the Ziyun Gate.
