Chapter Seventy-Two: The Piper
The mouth of the Black Wind Gorge was more than five hundred miles away from the Crazy Sword Sect, and in order not to attract attention, everyone was divided into five groups, led by He Dejiang and the four alliance elders, and set off at quarters of an hour.
The crowd did not come out of the back door of the Crazy Knife Sect, but entered a tunnel, and the exit of the tunnel was in a dense thorn bush ten miles away, so that no one could find it.
When the other leaders saw this tunnel, they knew that this was a way back for themselves by the Crazy Knife Sect, and now He Dejiang exposed all the retreats in front of everyone, which further proved He Dejiang's determination to resist the Immortal Sect, and he was a little ashamed of his previous suspicions.
Originally, Liu Xia should have been assigned to the fifth batch of people who set off, but Zheng Renli called the first batch, and Liu Xia happily accepted.
Time was pressing, and everyone began to gallop across the wasteland. The distance of five hundred miles is a bit far for Liu Xia, but it is still acceptable, except for Zheng Renli, the other masters of the cultivation are above the third grade, and this distance is naturally not a problem.
On the way, Liu Xia deliberately approached Zheng Renli, not salty or indifferent to talk to him, at the beginning, Zheng Renli also replied a few words, but when he got to the back, he closed his mouth and stopped talking.
A mid-level cultivator, running five hundred miles without stopping, is close to the limit for Zheng Renli, and he must reduce any unnecessary physical exertion in order to keep up with the team.
Liu Xia secretly paid attention, and by the last hundred miles, Zheng Renli's face had turned pale, and he was obviously almost at the limit.
I want to see how long you can hold on, Liu Xia said in his heart, if a person has the intention to disguise, it is difficult to find clues on weekdays, and only when the emotional body reaches the ultimate state, it is easiest to show flaws, and the exhaustion of yuan power is also a kind of extreme state.
After advancing another fifty miles, Zheng Renli suddenly opened his mouth and asked everyone to stop. After a moment of calm, Zheng Renli covered his mouth with his hand and made a high-pitched sound similar to birdsong.
But after a while, there was a voice of response in the distance, and Zheng Renli made a few more sounds, thinking that it was a code for the previous good.
Liu Xia looked at it, the wasteland was unobstructed, and even the outline of the tall Black Wind Gorge in the distance was beginning to appear, but he couldn't see where the person who responded was.
The answer was quickly revealed, and I saw a wasteland plant thousands of kilometers away suddenly grow taller, and a person came out of the ground, came to Zheng Renli's side, bowed and saluted: "Senior Brother Zheng, the junior brothers have been ambushed, do you want to join us?"
Zheng Renli asked, "Is there anything unusual?"
The visitor replied: "In the past three days, except for ordinary merchants, no people from the rivers and lakes have passed here, but last night, there was a flute sound from the direction of the Black Wind Canyon, and when we sent someone to check, we didn't find anything abnormal." ”
"Are you sure it's the sound of the flute?" Zheng Renli's expression was rather ugly.
"Yes, I asked the others, I'm sure it's the sound of the flute!Senior Brother Zheng, could it be that person who has appeared again?"
"Don't panic yet, wait for my news to act, go!"
Liu Xiamu sent people back to the cave, Yuan Li swept over, but he didn't find anything, it seems that there is a means to isolate Yuan Li.
The person who came just now was dressed similarly to Zheng Renli, and he should be a member of the Imperial Sword Sect, but he didn't expect that the Imperial Sword Sect had already been ambushed here, and just looking at the undisguised surprised expressions of the other masters, he knew that they were being hidden.
He Dejiang only emphasized the power of the Qingmang Sword, and did not say who was trading the Qingmang Sword with the Immortal Gate. With a little brain, you can think that there are too many unreasonable things in this.
The number of people in this kind of transaction will definitely not be too much, and the people sent by both sides will definitely be masters. The person who connected with Zheng Renli just now is only a first-grade beginner cultivator, and no matter how many people with this kind of cultivation are ambushed, they can't pose any threat to the master, this is the first suspicion.
What made Liu Xia even more puzzled was that Changshengmen chose the location of the transaction, such a secret thing had to be chosen in such a conspicuous place in the Black Wind Canyon, and it was strange that it was not greasy.
Zheng Renli turned around and glanced at the ugly expressions of the other masters, and said, "The Piper has disappeared for ten years, how could it appear so coincidentally? You don't have to worry, even if the flute sound is real, it is very likely that the Immortal Sect is a ghost." ”
One of the masters said: "The Piper's cultivation is unfathomable and his temperament is perverse, if it really reappears, it will not be good news for the Immortal Sect, maybe it can help us stop this transaction." I'm worried about how much of your Imperial Sword Sect and the Crazy Sword Sect are hiding from us?"
The words fell, and six pairs of eyes looked at Zheng Renli at the same time.
Zheng Renli explained: "If I said that I didn't know about the ambush in advance, would you believe it?" Speaking of this, Zheng Renli bent down and pulled up a small grass, and said: "This is the unique secret code of my Imperial Sword Sect, and I also saw the secret code, so I knew that there were people from the sect here." ”
"As for your questions, when Master He comes, we will ask again. Now, we still have to follow the plan and ambush on the Black Wind Canyon. ”
The Black Wind Canyon is composed of two mountain ranges that stretch for hundreds of miles, and the sky above the canyon is shrouded in black clouds all year round, and thunderstorms fall from time to time, accompanied by strong winds, so it is called the Black Wind Canyon.
No one has gone deep into the Black Wind Canyon, only the canyon with a short entrance of seven or eight miles without thunderstorms, which is exactly where Zheng Renli and others are ambushed.
Entering the Black Wind Canyon, Liu Xia immediately felt an inexplicable coercion on his body, and at the same time, the transformation of Yuan Li's fortune was slow, and the communication with the aura of heaven and earth became much more difficult.
Looking at the faces of the other leaders as usual, Liu Xia knew that they already knew this. For the unfamiliar and threatening environment, Liu Xia will take the initiative to investigate, just when he wants to stretch out Yuan Li.
Zheng Renli suddenly said: "Everyone be careful, don't leak Yuan Li into the sky, in case it causes a thunderstorm." ”
Liu Xia stopped when he heard the words and released Yuan Li, and looked at Zheng Renli who was walking in front, and a strong vigilance surged in his heart, this sentence was completely aimed at himself, could it be that he had discovered his own abnormality? If this is the case, Zheng Renli's danger is really a little unexpected.
However, how could Liu Xia be frightened by one sentence, now Zheng Renli is still on Liu Xia's list of suspicions, and what he said is completely untrustworthy. What the truth is, you can only know if you have investigated it yourself.
A wisp of Yuan Li Silk floated out of Liu Xia's body, meandered into the air, and slowly approached the clouds in the air. Suddenly, there was a suction force in the clouds, absorbing this wisp of Yuan Li, and Liu Xiali could cut off the connection with Yuan Lisi.
In Liu Xia's perception, Yuan Lisi quickly rushed to the middle along the clouds, and finally disappeared.
The clouds were full of suppression, not only for Yuan Li, but also for Liu Xia's perception. Liu Xia's eyes flashed with surprise, and when they wanted to investigate again, they had already arrived at the ambush location.
This place is close to the edge of the black cloud, and endless coercion comes from it, Zheng Renli said: "We are lying in ambush halfway up the mountain, we must be cautious when climbing up, and don't let the Yuan Force leak out." With that, the first one grabbed the rock and climbed to the predetermined ambush site.
Liu Xia climbed up and saw that there was a hole halfway up the mountain, although it was not deep, it was not a problem to hide seven people at the same time. Being able to see the scene opposite and below, without worrying about being discovered by the people on the top of the mountain, it is obvious that He Dejiang has already conducted a detailed survey of this place, otherwise it would be impossible to find such a suitable place.
The clouds were at the top of the Black Wind Canyon, and it was already dark. Everyone meditated silently to recover their Yuan Li, and no one spoke.
Time passed slowly, the sky was already dark, and the atmosphere became eerie with the sound of howling wind and the occasional thunder from the sky.
Suddenly, Liu Xia opened his eyes and looked at Zheng Renli for the first time, Zheng Renli's head turned to the side and became extremely stiff, and then he saw him turn his neck back and forth twice, indicating that he was a little stiff.
Liu Xia's face was expressionless, his gaze fell on the depths of the Black Wind Canyon, and then a flute sounded.
Everyone changes color at the same time, and the Piper is coming!
