Early the next morning, everyone packed their luggage early and prepared to leave, and the group left the inn and walked towards the city gate.

"Uncle and aunt, are you hiding something from your little nephew? Why have you been absent-minded since last night? Zhang Mingyang looked at the thoughtful Chen's father and Chen's mother suspiciously, and couldn't help but ask.

"Ahem...... It's nothing, it's just that I haven't rested on the road lately. Father Chen replied perfunctorily.

Zhang Mingyang didn't ask again, but the uneasiness in his heart was even worse, and when they walked out of the city gate, a sneaky figure appeared at the entrance of the dark alley not far away, it was the great elder of the Zhang family, who was looking at Zhang Mingyang with resentful eyes at this time, and then turned around and disappeared.

"Brother Mingyang, if you want to go out to study, won't I see you for a long time?" Lu Yao came to Zhang Mingyang's side and asked lonely.

"Well, not sure, it could be months, maybe years."

"Can I come with you, then?"

"Little girl, haven't you been wild enough? I'm going on a study tour, not a tour, it's unimaginably dangerous, so you just stay in Zhoufu obediently and take care of my aunt for me. Zhang Mingyang smiled and rubbed Lu Yao's head and said softly.

Lu Yao was still about to speak, but at this time, Chen Kuan leaned over and whispered:

"Brother Zhang, something is wrong, we have only been out of the city for a long time, it stands to reason that there should be a convoy of merchants everywhere on the road, even if your Yuanpu County is located in a mountainous area where there are few merchants, but we have been traveling for three hours, and we have never met a living person, don't you think it's strange?"

When Zhang Mingyang heard this, he immediately discovered the problem, and said:

"You mean...... Someone deliberately sent away the merchants? ”

"Well, then why do you think about the deliberate dismissal of the merchants?"

"I was afraid that I would be seen by the passing businessmen, and someone would be ambushed in front of me!"

Chen Kuan nodded quietly, Zhang Mingyang was immediately alert, and said to Chen Kuan in a low voice:

"Let everyone be careful, if there is really an ambush ahead, I'm afraid it will be difficult to deal with." The news that Zhang Mingyang defeated the people with the strength of Xiucai has already spread all over the mouths of the literati, so there are no literati who act rashly these days, not because they don't want to, but because they don't have the strength, if someone really sets up an ambush in front, I'm afraid that at least the level of perfection will dare to attack him, and what's more, when there are Jinshi people involved, this makes Zhang Mingyang have to worry.

"Uncle and aunt, I think you've noticed something wrong, right? At this time, he still refused to tell his little nephew the truth, and if something happened ahead, he was afraid that it would be too late to regret it. Zhang Mingyang walked quickly to Chen's father and Chen's mother, and said anxiously.

"Virtuous nephew, I didn't mean to hide it from you, but we don't know the details, last night the people left behind in the dart bureau came to the news, and the school palace took action again, sending a large team of people to capture you, we are just uneasy, as for the strength of the people who sent it, we don't know."

"That's all?"

"That's all!"

"Then why were my uncle and aunt so eager to entrust Brother Chen to me last night?"

"The virtuous nephew is the dragon and phoenix among the people, we hope that Kuan'er will follow you to practice together, but this has nothing to do with this matter, we just hope to get an answer from the virtuous nephew as soon as possible."

"Really?"

"It's true, if there is deception, the sky will thunder."

"Uncle doesn't have to swear so badly, the little nephew is just uneasy, and the two of them are acting abnormally, so I asked."

"We're also a little uneasy, why don't we go back to the city for the time being and leave later?"

"Wouldn't this be a bow to the Academy, and since they are determined to capture me, it is not safe to hide in the city."

"Then I'll go to the meeting for a while, and see what kind of goods the school palace has sent out this time."

"Uncle and aunt, if there is a change in the front, please don't join the battle, their goal is me, and please take everyone to escape immediately, I have my own way to get out, I hope to remember."

"Hmm" The two looked at each other and nodded at the same time.

At this time, the group arrived at the entrance of a canyon, two mountains stood left and right, covering the sky and the sun, the canyon was silent, the fog was filled, it looked strange and gloomy, Zhang Mingyang stopped, everyone also stopped, this place is an excellent place to set up an ambush, if there is really an ambush, I am afraid it will be in this canyon, he glanced at Chen Kuan beside him, Chen Kuan's eyes were firm, as if expressing his position, Zhang Mingyang took a deep breath and walked in slowly.

Zhang Mingyang was in front, Chen Kuan was on the side, Liu San asked the back of the palace, and the group slowly walked to the depths of the canyon, the surrounding was terrifyingly quiet, a gust of mountain wind blew, everyone felt a sense of coldness, and the atmosphere was very tense.

"Hehe, at a young age, I really don't know the height of the sky, I know that there are tigers in the mountains and I prefer to go to the tiger mountains, and I am really as arrogant as the master said." A gloomy taunt suddenly sounded, and the people of the dart game took up their weapons and prepared to face the enemy.

"Hide your head and show your tail, and the school palace is all gutless rats?" Zhang Mingyang did not show weakness and shouted loudly.

"Hmph, sharp teeth, I want to see if your skills are as good as your mouth." The person in the dark snorted coldly, and a fierce talent vortex swept towards Zhang Mingyang, Zhang Mingyang had already prepared for the golden talent to roar out and defeat the opponent's means.

"With a little ability, it's no wonder you can defeat Yang Daoxun, but if you have this ability, I'm afraid it will be difficult to escape this time."

"Then you might as well try it"

The man in the shadows did not reply, and the canyon returned to its deathly tranquility, but only for a moment, several figures emerged from the thick fog. Zhang Mingyang was shocked, because these people are all at the level of people, and the school palace really made a big deal this time, it seems that he is an outlier who makes it difficult for them to sleep. Zhang Mingyang's eyes swept over them one by one, eight lifters, and the leading one was about the same strength as Liu Sanwen, and I am afraid it was also a perfect situation. Zhang Mingyang looked at them at the same time, they were also looking at Zhang Mingyang, although they had already seen Zhang Mingyang's portrait, but at this time, there were still some people who didn't believe it, and one of them asked the leader:

"Lord Ning, you're not mistaken, right? Is he Zhang Mingyang? The Master did not hesitate to use the Master's order to hunt down the people? is so young, the old man really can't understand the master more and more. ”

"Lord Wang, look at people and things to see the essence, don't be deceived by their appearance, if this son is really as simple as it seems, why should the master use the master's order, besides...... The whirlpool of talent you have exerted is difficult for newcomers who have just been promoted to take over, right? This son can be easily defeated with the rank of Xiucai, do you still think he is an ordinary opponent? ”

"What Lord Ning said is that you should follow the teachings carefully."

"Old Wang, if you have been cultivating in such a state of mind, I am afraid that it will be difficult to advance in your lifetime" The Lord Ning led by him sighed, then shook his head, no longer paying attention to the old man surnamed Wang, but turned his head to look at Zhang Mingyang, and arched his hand from a distance:

"Zhang Gongzi, entrusted by the master of the Jianghan School Palace, I am here to invite you to go to the School Palace to talk about it, and I hope it will be convenient."

"Who are you? And why should I make friends with you? Zhang Mingyang said deliberately contemptuously.

"Bold, dare to talk to Lord Ning like this......" The old man surnamed Wang on the side was suddenly furious, and scolded sharply, but before he finished speaking, he was stopped by Lord Ning, Lord Ning's expression did not change, but smiled deeply, and bowed to Zhang Mingyang again:

"In the lower Jiangyin Ning Yuanshan."

"Ning Yuanshan!" Zhang Mingyang hadn't heard of it, but Chen Kuan had heard of it, and immediately exclaimed in shock. Zhang Mingyang turned his head and looked at him inquiringly

"Ning Yuanshan is a very famous person in Jiangyin, it is said that the realm of lifting people has been completed, and he has begun to prepare to participate in the next palace examination, but he never thought that he was even sent." Chen Kuan's worry grew.

"Hmph, are you really an ignorant child? Did the Master invite me to the Academy? He clearly wanted to arrest me and abolish my context, but Your Excellency said it righteously and awe-inspiringly, and it was really hypocritical. Even if he knew the name of Ning Yuanshan, Zhang Mingyang was not polite at all, and said sarcastically.

Ning Yuanshan remained silent, his face was full of smiles, and then he said with a smile:

"Since you refuse to wait with me to go back to the school palace, then I have to kill you."

Then a long sword condensed by talent suddenly stabbed at Zhang Mingyang, Zhang Mingyang's face changed slightly, he never thought that the other party had a murderous intention when talking and laughing, it was really a knife hidden in laughter, Zhang Mingyang immediately used the golden grammar, with a golden paper to protect his body, the talent sword flew at a very fast speed, and the golden paper contacted, the two collided fiercely, and burst out of real sparks.

"Your grammar is not taught by the school palace, tell me, where did it come from?" Ning Yuanshan saw the strangeness of Zhang Mingyang's grammar and frowned and asked.

"What do you have to do with it," Zhang Mingyang snorted coldly and did not answer, but controlled the golden soldiers to rush towards him.

"I was going to take your life, but now I've changed my mind, and I'll have a way to get you to speak after I capture you."

"Then it's up to you to see if you have the ability."

Zhang Mingyang shouted angrily, the talent in the sea was frantically tilted, the golden soldier suddenly had a golden light, and the momentum soared, Ning Yuanshan frowned, obviously he also felt the horror of this golden soldier, and he also showed the humanistic method, sparing no effort to urge the blessing of talent in the body, and in an instant, a city wall high "Xu" word stood in front of him to block Zhang Mingyang's golden soldier, and then a huge "felling" word fell from the sky, covering the sky and covering the sun, like a dark cloud falling down, Zhang Mingyang's consciousness moved, and the golden soldier moved quickly, A column of soldiers confronted the word "Zhu", and a column of soldiers raised halberds against the word "Fell", and neither of them could advance an inch in grammar.

Zhang Mingyang was shocked, this Ning Yuanshan's strength was even stronger than Liu Sanwen, he didn't have this sense of oppression when he fought with Liu Sanwen, sure enough, this person was not in vain, and Ning Yuanshan was also shocked and angry in his heart at this time, shocked that this teenage child could compete with himself, angry that this was simply an insult to himself, so he was annoyed and angry, he would never allow this kind of thing to happen, Ning Yuanshan, who had always been light and light, was full of hideous colors in his eyes at this time, and roared angrily:

"If that's your hole card, I'm afraid it's not enough!"

After Ning Yuanshan finished speaking, the qi in his body was rapidly consumed, and all of them were blessed into the words "Zhu" and "Fell", booming, like a thunderbolt in the clear sky, a deafening roar sounded, only to see that the word "Zhu" collapsed violently, burying a column of golden soldiers, and the word "Felling" that fell from the sky was also pressed down with the force of ten thousand jun, smashing another column of golden soldiers to pieces.

"Poof" Zhang Mingyang's face was pale, a mouthful of blood spurted out, his momentum was sluggish, and he was obviously traumatized. This is the first time that his golden grammar has been defeated, and this Ning Yuanshan is afraid that he is infinitely close to the rank of Jinshi.

"Zhang Gongzi ......"

"Brother Zhang......"

"Brother Mingyang......"

"Virtuous Nephew"

When everyone saw that Zhang Mingyang was injured, they shouted and all gathered around him and protected him in the middle.

"Mr. Liu, can you see the true strength of this person?" Zhang Mingyang coughed violently for a while, turned his head and asked Liu San next to him.

"Zhang Gongzi, this person's true strength should be comparable to mine, and the sudden prosperity of the talent is a secret method that can restore the talent consumed in the body instantly, so it makes people feel that the vastness of his talent has exceeded the level of lifting people. However, this kind of secret method is also very harmful to the caster himself, and he is not having a good time at this time. ”

Sure enough, after listening to Liu Sanwen's analysis, Zhang Mingyang looked at Ning Yuanshan, only to see that he was also pale at this time.

"Mr. Liu, uncle and aunt, take advantage of now, you take people to go first, I have my own way to get out later, we meet in Wuguan, after you escape, go to General Xiang Weixiang, just say that I asked you to seek refuge, this person is the confidant of the lord of the mansion, presumably the palace does not dare to make trouble in Wuguan." Let's go, it's too late, we'll all have to stay here. ”

"But ......"

"Don't hesitate any longer, your goal here is too big, and let me be distracted, the gains outweigh the losses"

"Okay, do what the virtuous nephew said, let's rush out separately and meet at Wuguan." Mother Chen showed her wisdom at this time, and she did not drag her feet at all.

"Hehe, want to go? None of you can leave, stay here" The other seven lifters on the opposite side, except for Ning Yuanshan, saw that they wanted to break through separately, and immediately dispersed in a fan shape, blocking the only intersection out of the canyon.

Zhang Mingyang has been traumatized, and his combat power has dropped greatly, although Ning Yuanshan has also been counterattacked by the secret method, but they still have seven people eyeing them, and there are only Liu Sanwen and Zhou Chengzhi on their side, and Zhou Chengzhi's combat power is extremely high, and anyone on the opposite side will be quickly defeated, so it seems that there is still no chance of breaking through.

"Mr. Yang Ming......"

"What's the matter with your boy looking for the old man?"

"Sir, the kid is in trouble, please ask Mr. to help solve the siege."

"Eight lifters, hey, I really look up to you kid, to deal with a showman, I actually dispatched eight lifters"

"Mr. Yangming, do you have a chance of winning?"

"If the old man's strength is restored to one-twelfth of it, these people can be suppressed with a wave of their hands, but now I only have a wisp of remnant soul left, and the means I can use are limited......"

"Mr. Yang Ming, if you can solve the current crisis, I will promise you and me that I have the talent in my body, you can suck as much as you want, and the kid will never break his word."

"Ahem, it seems that the old man is going to your talent, the old man is telling the truth, my remnant soul has no talent storage, and I am not even a person, I have no memory of my past life, but if you let go of your divine sense, let me enter your sea of knowledge, and use your talent for my use at will, maybe solve this siege."

"Mr. Yang Ming, you can't be a hopeless soul cultivator who wants to take me away, right?"

"Hahaha, you kid...... Since you still can't fully trust the old man, I didn't say it. ”

"Don't don't, don't be angry, Mr. Yangming, kid is joking with you, I have been frank with Mr. before, how can I not trust Mr., come on, what does Mr. do, please!"
