Eastern Yuan Kingdom, Xuancheng.

Xuancheng is a small city in the Eastern Yuan Kingdom, because there is a huge whirlpool in the center of a lake outside the city, which does not stop all day long, so it is named Xuanhu, and Xuancheng is also named after this.

Xuancheng is controlled by the Su family, and there is the head of the Mysterious Essence Realm in the clan, which is the first and only family in Xuancheng.

But recently, the Su family encountered an annoyance.

That was the blood food that he kept in captivity, and he was actually released by an innate realm mortal who didn't open his eyes.

In the middle of the night, a black shadow sped forward on the mountain, disturbing the resting birds around it.

But judging from the direction and speed of the black shadow, he was completely panicked at this moment, because there was a thousand-meter-high cliff in front of him.

It's all because there's a pursuer behind him chasing after him.

"Da ......" came to the black shadow of the cliff and braked sharply, which avoided the fate of falling into the cliff, and the stone accidentally kicked seemed to have fallen into the abyss, and no echo could be heard.

"Run, aren't you very good at running?"

The joking voice behind him made the black shadow have to quickly turn around and face the imminent enemy.

The true body of the black shadow was also revealed, he was tall, he looked like he was about thirty years old, and his face also looked old.

He is Jiang Bai's disciple, Wang Zhang.

But at the moment, he is not in a good state, most of his hair and scalp are gone, as if he has been forcibly torn off.

Blood was oozing out of his right eye, and if someone could pull his eyelid open, they would see that it was empty.

Wang Zhang's current appearance is not an exaggeration to say that he is a freak, he can completely scare children into tears, even if adults see it, they will feel uncomfortable and want to stay away.

It stands to reason that as a congenital realm martial artist, he shouldn't have fallen so miserably, as long as he didn't offend the cultivators, no one would do anything about him.

The problem is that he has not only offended the sophists, but also not one, but a group.

It turned out that after leaving the Huang family, Wang Zhang began his journey, and he met many people along the way, both good and bad.

When he encounters a wicked man, he will act chivalrous and righteous. When good people are persecuted, he will use his strength to uphold justice.

Wang Zhang, who has experienced all kinds of things, only had a fluttering feeling for a while.

This is his childhood dream, happy revenge, chivalrous and righteous.

Until he encounters an incident that reality gives him a slap in the face and wakes him up from this false dream.

At that time, Wang Zhang met a convoy of people asking for help, saying that their goods were robbed by bandits.

This batch of goods is full of medicinal herbs, and they are going to send them to another city, where there is an outbreak of plague, and many people will die one day late.

Of course, Wang Zhang is duty-bound, the strength of that group of bandits is very weak, and the strongest one is only practicing the tendon realm.

But what he didn't imagine was that there was a trick behind this gang of bandits.

The strength of his innate realm is not worth mentioning in the eyes of the treacherous cultivators, and he can't even break the protection of the treacherous realm, so he can only flee in embarrassment in the end.

And according to the information provided by the surviving mountain bandits, the treacherous cultivator directly killed all the people in the convoy to vent his anger.

Wang Zhang once again felt the long-lost sense of powerlessness, he knew that the soteric cultivation was just the lowest level of the subterfuge realm, but even this kind of self-inflicted cultivation could not deal with.

He was depressed for a while, until he came to Spiral City and stumbled upon a village.

It is said to be a village, but in fact it is just a large pasture, and the animals in the pasture are people.

It is also a slaughterhouse, and people are forcibly slaughtered in it every day.

Wang Zhang suddenly guessed that this was the "pigsty" opened by the treacherous cultivator.

The five families of the Eastern Yuan Dynasty strictly regulated the scattered cultivators and forces under them, and strictly forbade the predation of mortals without permission, and the punishment was a fine or death.

But they also knew the nature of the cultivators, so they allowed the cultivators to buy mortals from the five families and raise them themselves.

But it's not cheap.

Wang Zhang, who sensed the truth, found the right time, eliminated the guards one by one, and then left with hundreds of people.

The Su family also didn't expect that someone would dare to rob their own blood food, so they just sent some subordinates to guard it, and they didn't expect to give Wang Zhang a loophole.

At that time, he suddenly realized that his so-called chivalrous deeds were nothing but self-deception.

He saved one or two, so he saved a hundred thousand? Saved the mortals of this world?

Wang Zhang had known this truth for a long time, but because of his weak strength, he had been evading it, not daring to face this problem head-on, indulging in fighting the wicked among mortals, but he did not dare to target the cultivator.

But now he dares to face it, he just wants to save those compatriots who are used as blood food by the treacherous cultivators, and he can save one by one.

Even if he dies at the hands of the cultivator in the end, then his life is worth it.

After taking the people away, Wang Zhang used money to get through and arranged a lot of carriages to send these people to other places in turn.

As long as they are separated from the Su family, then these people will be safe, at least compared to being in the pasture.

It's a pity that Wang Zhang doesn't know a truth, that is, obstacles are not only from the enemy.

Some people also guessed the true face of those "immortals" and chose to leave in a carriage with their families, but some people didn't think so.

The gods told them that as long as they sacrificed a part of the people every month, their lives would be peaceful.

These people think that this is no problem, after all, their lives were very good before, they ate well and lived well, they had no worries about food and clothing, and their lives were as happy as the gods.

The immortals told them that they were blessed people chosen by Heaven to come to this world, and that the place where they now live is a happy land.

Moreover, the sacrificed people are said to be false blessed people, and these people will blend into the crowd and provoke Heaven to send down heavenly punishment.

Therefore, the immortals will regularly check and find out the pretenders in the crowd.

The guards who defended the Promised Land also said that people outside were busy with their livelihood every day, and if they didn't work for a day, they would starve to death.

Even if you are willing to work, it is useless, once you encounter a natural disaster, a large number of people will die.

For Wang Zhang, the daring man who invaded the Promised Land, some people directly insulted and attacked him, and some people stabilized him first, and then secretly went to report to the Su family.

Wang Zhang also did this kind of thing for the first time, he forgot that people are different, and neglected to guard against these "compatriots".

Since then, he has been hunted down and has been on his own escape.

But this time was different from the last time, the Su family's trickster cultivator who was chasing him was obviously much better than the previous loose cultivator, and he actually relied on unknown means to lock him down, no matter how far he escaped, it was useless.

All this is due to those whom he saved.

The word betrayal was like a sharp knife into his chest, making it difficult for him to breathe and his heart to ashes.

"Peng!" Without waiting for Wang Zhang to recall, one hand pressed his face.

"Card, card, card." The strength of the hand was so great that it seemed to crush Wang Zhang's skull.

It's not that he doesn't want to dodge, it's that he's exhausted at this point.

The three-day chase had already exhausted his energy, but the trick in front of him was full of energy, like a nobody.

The trickster who chased and killed Wang Zhang was only 15 years old, and he was a head shorter than Wang Zhang, but he could easily handle him.

"Okay, give me your exercises, and I can give you a good time."

This Su family's treacherous cultivation actually fell in love with Wang Zhang's cultivation of the Heavenly Fire Gong!

It turned out that when they were fighting him, the Su family found that he had cultivated an extremely strong fire technique.

It just so happens that the Su family also majors in the fire path, if they can get Wang Zhang's exercises, even if there is only a qi induction chapter, even if it is deleted, it is enough to make the Su family's strength go to the next level!

"Don't think about it."

Wang Zhang just spit out two words, he knew that he owed Jiang Bai too much, even if he was tortured to death by the trickery in front of him, he would not confide half a word.

"Stubborn."

The originally gloomy face of the treacherous cultivator became even more gloomy when he heard Wang Zhang's refusal.

He placed his left hand on Wang Zhang's left arm.

"You put my Su family's blood food with this hand, right?"

"Shhhh Wang Zhang's arm was actually torn off, flesh and blood splashed in the air, and that arm was also discarded like garbage.

"Humph!" The intense pain made Wang Zhang want to wail, but he still endured the pain and only let out a muffled snort.

"Or this hand?"

Wang Zhang's blood splashed on Wei Xiu's face, making Wei Xiu's face look weird and infiltrating.

He placed his hand on Wang Zhang's remaining right arm, and Wang Zhang still responded with silence.

"Shhhh There was another sound of flesh tearing, and Wang Zhang completely lost his arms and became a waste.

"Huh." Unexpectedly, Wang Zhang actually laughed.

Although the pain of losing his arms made the laughter sad, the joy in the laughter was heard.

The Su family didn't understand why he was still laughing when this mortal was already dying?

"Could it be crazy?" He suddenly had a bad guess.

If this mortal is really crazy, then wouldn't their Su family's intention to seize the exercises be frustrated?

At this moment, he found that Wang Zhang's chest suddenly emitted a red light, and a talisman under his clothes was revealed.

"! You lunatic! ”

The trickster was almost scared to death, and he threw Wang Zhang forward without even thinking about it.

He recognized that talisman was a mid-grade fire talisman in the Yellow Rank, and it was notoriously powerful.

He is a treacherous realm cultivator, and the fire talisman explodes at such a close distance, it can definitely blow him up to the ground, and there is not even a slag left.

I don't know if it's a coincidence, but the loss of the trick directly threw Wang Zhang off the cliff and fell into the rapids that were a thousand meters down.

After about a minute, the Su family realized that something was wrong.

It's been a minute, why hasn't there been any movement?

With the power of the fire talisman, let alone a thousand-meter-high cliff, a loud noise can be heard from a distance of 10,000 meters.

It was only then that he thought of a question, that is, Wang Zhang didn't even have the power to deceive, how could he have triggered the fire talisman?

Thinking of this, the cultivator suddenly became furious, he was actually tricked by a mortal!

Angry, he jumped off the cliff directly, vowing to cut Wang Zhang, who dared to tease him, with a thousand knives.

"Winter!" Just as he was about to touch the water, the treacherous protection of the treacherous cultivator appeared in time, canceling out all his strength, allowing him to fall unharmed.

"Whew!" Three minutes passed, and the cultivator poked his head out of the water.

At this moment, his face was extremely gloomy, because he could not find any trace of Wang Zhang at all.

At this moment, his face began to distort and eventually turned into a red dog's head.

This is the true body of the Su family's treacherous cultivation, and their bloodline comes from a medium-sized canine demon beast.

It is precisely by virtue of his racial talent that he can keep tracking Wang Zhang, so that he has no way to go to heaven and no way to go down.

But now that ability is no longer in his possession.

Wang Zhang's breath had been completely covered by the water, and the river was extremely turbulent, and Wei Xiu knew that in just these few minutes, Wang Zhang was afraid that he had been washed far away.

The cultivator hurriedly jumped to the ground next to the river and ran wildly with the current.

Wang Zhang's exercises are very important to the Su family, and if he can't catch Wang Zhang back, he will definitely be in big trouble.

Now the trickster is quite regretful, he originally had the idea of teasing the prey, but he didn't expect to let the prey escape.

He was able to arrest Wang Zhang alone, but he still went through the back door.

When the time comes, the people behind him are afraid that they will strip him of his skin.

But the treacherous run soon stopped, for two rivers diverged in front of him.

He knew that he couldn't hesitate any longer, and although he didn't know where the two forks would go, he could only choose the right side immediately.

And Wang Zhang, who was in the river, was already dying at this time, but fortunately, the body of the Innate Realm would not let him drown immediately, but his consciousness had already begun to form a lake.

He suddenly remembered the origin of the fire talisman that had saved his life.

"What? You're leaving Jicheng? ”

Xiaoqing looked at Wang Zhang in front of him in disbelief.

She really couldn't understand that this person could worship his own master as a teacher, and it was already a blessing for many generations of cultivation.

If you really want to say it, Wang Zhang's status is even higher than Xiaoqing and Xiaobai.

Jiang Mansion has good food and shelter to support him, and the resources are even more sufficient, Xiaoqing can't understand why he left.

Wang Zhang also knew that his decision was not easy to explain, so he could only say: "Sister Qing, my strength has reached a bottleneck, and it is useless to practice any longer, so I want to go out and explore and see if I can make a breakthrough." ”

He was very clear about why he became Jiang Bai's apprentice, so he still had great respect for the two managers of Jiang Mansion.

Xiaoqing, who was straightforward, asked directly: "It's an old man in his thirties, even if he doesn't marry a wife and have children, do you still have the idea of going outside?" ”

】

"Uh......" Wang Zhang was speechless for a while.

He has been an orphan who grew up eating hundreds of meals since he was a child, so he does not have the burden of passing on the ancestry, but he looks very strange in the eyes of others.

But he also has his own ideals, which is to find a way out for the mortals of this world, so that they will not be reduced to food for sophistry.

Although the hope is very slim and even unrealistic, Wang Zhang feels that he must always try, even if he fails, it will not be in vain.

"Ugh." Seeing Wang Zhang's resolute attitude, Xiaoqing could only cover his forehead helplessly.

Xiaoqing remembered Jiang Bai's previous explanation, saying that Wang Zhang would follow him whatever he wanted to do, and don't care about him.

In the end, Xiaoqing waved his right hand and said, "Let's go, let's go, come back when you want to." ”

She continued: "But don't say I didn't remind you, your current life is the Jiang Mansion, which was given by the Huang family, and the outside world is much more dangerous than this, and any trickster can kill you." ”

Wang Zhang hurriedly echoed: "Sister Qing, I know, thank you, Sister Qing, I will pay attention." ”
