Qi Jun looked at Ma Xie gratefully.

In fact, he also knew that revenge was almost impossible, and he understood that what he meant by "revenge" was just a kind of paralysis of the self, so that he felt that he was not stealing his life.

But Ma Xie did not demolish him and retained his dignity as an "avenger".

"Thank you, Ma Xie. ”

"You don't have to thank me, I'm an Avenger just like you. Ma Xie looked at Qi Jun and said, "There is one more thing I want to ask you, the destruction of the Huang family of the Tianwu Sect, but what did you do with the Blood Killing Gang?"

Qi Jun nodded and said: "Yes, I know about this matter, but if you want revenge, you will find the wrong person, the Blood Killing Gang is just a hired tool, but the real murderer is in your Tianwu Sect." ”

"Oh, do you know who hired the Bloodkillers?" asked Ma Xue.

Qi Jun thought for a while and said, "It was a disciple named Fei Shao who came to this matter, but he said that he came on the orders of the master. ”

Ma Xie nodded, this was similar to the information he had, but he still didn't know who was behind Fei Shao and Yunhai.

At this time, Qi Jun said again: "But I heard from the ancestor, no, the old demon said that Fei Shao and Yunhai are just chess pieces in this matter, and the real mastermind behind it is still in the upper echelons of your Tianwu Sect." ”

"Do you know who he's talking about?" asked Ma Xie eagerly.

Qi Jun shook his head: "I don't know, the ancestor has never mentioned this matter again." This is your Tianwu Sect's business, our Blood Killing Gang only collects money to work, and we don't care about other things. ”

Ma Xie also knew that such a deep secret, the Blood Killing Ancestor would not easily tell Qi Jun.

"In that case, let's leave it at that. You are not inherently a bad person, although you have done bad things. I think you should stay away from here in the future, it shouldn't be difficult to survive with your cultivation. Ma Xie said to Qi Jun.

Qi Jun nodded and limped away, his body was already very badly injured, and he could only bend over when he walked, as if he was crawling on the ground on all fours.

Ma Xie looked at Qi Jun's background, didn't say anything, and turned around and left silently, for Qi Jun, he really couldn't help anything, and Qi Jun didn't need Ma Xie's help, what he needed was to live in this cruel world, which could only be relied on by himself.

After parting, Ma Xie and Yuan Wuji continued to move forward, walking towards the place where the strange grass grew that the treasure hunter rat had said.

It was a steep mountain, and it took a man and a beast a day and a night to reach the bottom of the mountain.

"That's it. Yuan Wuji said, "The treasure hunting rat said that the strange grass is fragrant, it is definitely not a mortal thing!"

Looking at the terrain here, it seems that there is only one path to go up the mountain, and the top of the mountain is covered with snow, so it is obvious that this road is not easy to go up.

But since he has arrived here, Ma Xie will not give up, after all, he still has to rely on this strange grass as the capital to see if he can exchange it for a weapon at hand.

At this time, the weather has entered winter, the cold wind is cold, Ma Xie looked at the snow on the mountain, and decided to find something to protect the cold first, after all, he can't always use aura to protect his body!

He asked Yuan Wuji to order those treasure hunting rats to investigate the vicinity, and if there was a fierce beast such as Xiong Zhen, he would quickly report that Ma Xie needed a coat to protect him from the cold in animal skin.

When he was in the jungle, Ma Xie had to make such a coat every winter, and now that he had been away from the white ape for a year, thinking that he had just arrived in Stone City in the winter of last year, Ma Xie couldn't help but fall into memories.

In more than a year, Ma Xie has changed from a small martial artist to a cultivator of the third layer of the Qi Refining Realm, and if this speed is known by those sects, they will definitely rush to accept disciples.

Even the two of the Heavenly Martial Sect's Kong Shujian and Ni Lingshan had to admit that Ma Xie's cultivation talent was really rare, and in just a few months of entry, he had soared directly from the first layer of the Qi Refining Realm to the third layer, and it was rare to meet an opponent in the same realm.

If the current Ma Xie had a long sword in his hand, he would be able to fight if he encountered a Xiu cultivator at the fourth level of the Qi Refining Realm, but Ma Xie was not satisfied with this.

And all this is because of one person - Wu Pingtian.

When Wu Pingtian was high that day, Ma Xie was amazed that there was such a person in this world, he was only in his twenties, but he could talk and laugh with Wuyue people, and sit on an equal footing.

In comparison, those young talents of the Tianwu Sect, Zuo Qing, Wan Feifei and others were indeed too far behind.

You must know that the Blood Killing Ancestor who can dominate one side is only the eighth layer of the Qi Refining Realm and has reached the realm of the second level, while the Wuyue people have reached the realm of breaking through the third level at this age, and they are comparable to these older generation of cultivators in terms of cultivation, you must know that the Blood Killing Ancestor is almost two hundred years old.

Although Ma Xie was very confident in his swordsmanship talent, and he also knew that his cultivation speed was already amazingly fast, he still had a little envy and admiration for Wu Pingtian.

The kind of self-confidence and blandness that only advanced cultivators have, the kind of platform from which you can see the wider world.

Ma Xie knows that he is not a sparrow who has always wandered under the eaves, he has always been an eagle, and he wants to be like Wu Pingtian, coming and going freely on this land!

Driven by this mood, Ma Xie's cultivation has never stopped, and in Yuan Wuji's opinion, Ma Xie is a madman.

He is like a disciple who listens to his teacher, he will conscientiously complete his homework on refining qi and nourishing qi every day, except for eating and sleeping, all the time is spent on cultivation, even when he is walking, he will also release the aura out of the body and control it within a certain range to exercise his control of the aura.

Although he didn't have a sword, Ma Xie practiced every day using tree branches instead of swords, while abandoning his swordsmanship.

In Yuan Wuji's opinion, all this was so crazy, he couldn't believe that Ma Xie's cultivation speed was already amazingly fast, why did he still force himself to cultivate so much.

"Geniuses can only appear in super sects. Ma Xie said to Yuan Wuji what Wu Pingtian once said: "And I, if I want to catch up with the pace of those geniuses, I must put in ten times or even a hundred times the effort to surpass them!"

When he said this, Ma Xie pierced all his bones with one hundred and eight golden needles, as if one hundred and eight knives were "scraping his bones and healing" him at the same time, and he used this almost masochistic way to exercise his body.

Whenever he watched Ma Xie transform his body with a golden needle, those festering flesh and skin, Yuan Wuji let out a sigh of "tsk", "Fortunately, I'm a strange beast, I don't want to do this kind of cultivation." ”

After searching for half a day at the bottom of the mountain, Ma Xie found a black bear that had eaten a lot of food and was ready to hibernate.

This is the first time that Ma Xie has fought with a black bear with his bare hands, although he is already a cultivator, but in the face of the black bear's innate divine power, he still paid a lot of money to solve this black bear.

Ma Xie couldn't help but admire those pure flesh cultivators in his heart, they still relied on their own fists in the face of alien beasts that were a hundred times and a thousand times more powerful than the black bear.

But if you don't have a sword, your strength will drop a lot. Therefore, there is an old saying in the cultivation world: "It takes the sword to slaughter foreign beasts, but the ones who fight with foreign beasts to the end must be those crazy people with their bare hands." ”

Those madmen who are called "body refiners".

Ma Xie used the "Eight Veins Divine Sword" to cut the skin and flesh of the black bear, and then skillfully operated it, and after a while, he made a leather jacket, and also processed the remaining materials a little, and wrapped it around Yuan Wuji's body.

"Okay, let's go!" Ma Xie led Yuan Wuji towards the top of the mountain.

Standing at the foot of the mountain, the snow peak is surrounded by clouds and mist, sometimes the clouds and mist disperse, so that you can see the true face of the snow peak, and most of the time, you can only see thick clouds and mist wrapped around the snow peak like a jade dragon.

Walking in, the mountains here are steep, looking up, the mountain peaks are like a steel knife straight into the sky, almost vertical cliffs, only a winding path can be walked up.

Less than a quarter of the way through, snow had already been seen under Ma Xie's feet, and the sun was shining at this time, and the snow under his feet began to melt, making the road muddy and slippery, making it difficult to move forward. A little further up, the temperature was already extreme, the ground beneath my feet was frozen firm, and the snow was gradually thickening.

Ma Xie looked down the foot, only to see that the cliff was white, and he couldn't see the situation under the mountain clearly, and even the road when he came was hidden in the vast clouds.

Looking at the sky-high cliff again, it seemed to be pressing against him, and the road under his feet became steeper, and in many places Ma Xie had to use his hands and feet to climb up.

Through the clouds, Ma Xie finally saw the top of the snow peak, but he also found that his path had come to an end.

It was an extremely narrow platform, covered with snow, and could only accommodate two people standing here, and the platform was surrounded by cliffs, and there was no way out.

"Why is there no way? Is the miraculous medicine here?" asked Ma Xie.

Yuan Wuji got out of Ma Xie's arms, gasped and said, "No, it's still up there." I've heard from the treasure rats that they can smell the smell of the strange grass, and it's at the very top of this snowy peak, and we have to keep going. ”

The air here has become extremely thin, and the two of them have been separated from the mortal womb of the flesh, and they do not feel strained.

Ma Xie looked up at the last part of the journey, there were almost no points on the cliff wall here, only a few stones protruding from the cliff wall, and these stones were also covered with thick snow, obviously difficult to start.

For mortals, this is undoubtedly a desperate situation, but for Ma Xie, who is already a cultivator, this does not cause much hindrance to him.

Ma Xie adjusted his breath, found a slightly protruding stone, and grabbed the stone with both hands like steel claws, and jumped up.

But after he flew upwards for more than a kilometer, he sensed that something was wrong.

Not only is the air thin here, but the aura is almost zero, and more importantly, Ma Xie found that his spiritual power was completely unusable here, and this feeling was as if he had returned to the realm of mortals.

Ma Xie, who felt that something was wrong, did not panic, he clinged to the cliff wall, kicked a stone with both feet, and reluctantly hooked a recessed place with his right hand.

"The aura can't be used, and it seems that you can only use the brute force of the flesh to climb up. Ma Xie muttered to himself, but he was still very confident in his body, and it should be easy to take this cliff.

So the horse evil like a gecko kept trying and moving forward on the cliff, and it took more than an hour to finally climb to the top of the snow peak.

He let out a sigh of relief, fortunately he had grown up with the white ape, and he had also walked between the cliffs, otherwise he would have had to spend a lot of work to climb up today.

At this moment, the wind and clouds dissipated, the golden sun scattered on the snow peak, a golden light appeared, and the sea of clouds under the mountain was churning, very spectacular, Ma Xie stood on the edge of the cliff, looking at the mountains and cockroaches in the distance, the weather under his feet was thousands, and a heroic spirit could not help but rise in his chest, and he couldn't help but let out a long roar to the end of the world.

Yuan Wuji also shouted towards the sky like Ma Xie, but he was not yet an adult, and his voice was like a kitten.

The mood of the two of them was extremely happy, and the fatigue of several days of running around disappeared at this moment, and they kept looking for spiritual grass on the snow peak.
