What happened in Qiao's Mansion spread throughout Tailu City early in the morning, and many diners in the inn were also talking about it.

"The Qiao clan is so pitiful, yesterday I heard that a lot of money was spent and a lot of professional architects were hired to expedite the reconstruction of the mansion that burned down most of it, but it was attacked again last night."

"Moreover, this time it was even worse than the day before yesterday, not only was the mansion completely burned down, but even the patriarch was killed by the attackers."

"I heard that not only the patriarch, but also several elders died, this time the strength of the Qiao clan has been greatly reduced, and it seems that it will not be long before it will decline, so as to withdraw from the ranks of the top forces in Tailu City."

Someone who heard about it for the first time asked in disbelief:

"It can't be a few other top forces joining forces to raid, right? Otherwise, how could the Qiao clan be beaten so badly? ”

"Who said that? The attacker was only one person, and the other party rushed directly into Qiao's mansion, set fire everywhere, and under the pursuit of all the high-ranking members of the Qiao clan, he easily killed a few people and forced them to compromise. ”

"Not only that, I heard that the Qiao clan also lost a huge amount of money, so the other party let them go."

"Now it's like losing face."

Hearing this, many people gasped.

"The attacker is so powerful, could it be that he is the peak of the Spirit Sea Realm, or even a strong master of the Innate Realm?"

The man who spoke shrugged: "I don't know about this, I just heard from a friend, he is the guard of the Qiao clan, and yesterday he saw the battle between the night raiders and several high-level officials of the Qiao clan, and participated in the fire extinguishing, so I know more." ”

On a table in the corner.

Fang Qingyi looked at Ling Jiuqiu in surprise.

Although she knew that Ling Jiuqiu would attack the Qiao clan again, she never expected that she would directly hit the door again, and this time in full view of everyone, she killed the other party's patriarch and elders.

"I thought you would report the matter to the Bafang Martial Arts Arena here, and ask the powerhouses here to help you as a true disciple."

Ling Jiuqiu shook his head.

"At most, they will only defend me and prevent me from being bullied, and they will not help me bully others."

"What's more, after all, I'm not familiar with the martial arts arena master here, in case the other party colludes with the high-level of the Qiao clan, maybe they will stop me from making a move, and even secretly betray my intelligence."

"Although this probability is extremely small, it is indispensable to guard against people, and I will not trouble them if it is not necessary."

Fang Qingyi nodded thoughtfully.

After breakfast, the two went to the horse market to buy a blue-maned horse for Fang Qingyi, and went to the Lingbao Chamber of Commerce to buy the latest map of the Liancang Domain.

By the way, Ling Jiuqiu bought another ten bottles of Kaijiao Pill and Tongmai Pill, spending 20,000 taels of silver.

Fortunately, he extorted 150,000 taels of silver from the Qiao clan last night, otherwise his net worth would have bottomed out at this moment.

The rapid improvement of strength is the rapid consumption of silver taels, and the huge amount of tens of thousands of taels of silver that ordinary people can't spend in a few lifetimes makes Jiuqiu clean in less than half a month.

The 150,000 taels of silver that I just extorted may not be able to resist for too long.

Ling Jiuqiu sighed with emotion, and returned to the inn with Fang Qingyi.

The two of them sat down at the table, took out the map and spread it on the table, and studied it carefully.

Although the price of the map of the Lingbao Chamber of Commerce is much more expensive than that sold by ordinary trading houses, the quality is much higher.

It is made of some special demon animal skin, not only the material is tough and not easy to break, but the above records are also extremely detailed, as long as the road can be passed normally, there are clear records.

Cities and villages, large and small, are also written in detail with their names, areas, and distances from each other.

The map is spread out.

It occupies the table top of the entire Eight Immortals Table.

The two of them pointed and discussed in a whisper in the area representing the Taihang Mountains.

"The blue-maned horse can run about 150 kilometers a day, so every time we land in the city, it is best to choose a similar distance, and the next goal is set here."

Ling Jiuqiu pointed somewhere on the map with his hand.

"Taohua City, the straight-line distance from Tailu City is one hundred kilometers, along this route, it is not too far, and the road distance is estimated to be about one hundred and thirty kilometers, we will set off now, if we don't delay halfway, we can arrive in the evening."

Fang Qingyi hesitated for a moment, but still raised his verdant jade finger and pointed at a certain place in the route that Ling Jiuqiu had drawn just now.

"The mountains on these sides are too close together, so it's a very narrow trail that is more dangerous than the other routes."

"To be on the safe side, why don't we go this route?"

As she spoke, Fang Qingyi slowly traced her fingers along a track on the map.

"The route is almost entirely a thoroughfare, and although it goes a little farther away, it's less likely to get into trouble on the way."

"You see, the straight-line distance of this route to Lening City is only a little more than 100 kilometers, and the maximum distance along the avenue is less than 150 kilometers, and you can enter the city in time to settle down in the evening."

The Taihang Mountains extend in all directions, and the cities are also extremely scattered, so the two of them must ensure speed and safety as much as possible, and the route is naturally impossible to choose at will.

In the end, Ling Jiuqiu still shook his head: "Lening City is still a little farther away, if you follow this route, maybe you will waste an extra day." ”

"Let's do as I said, let's go to Taohua City! Even if there is danger, I am not afraid, I can escape with you. ”

"What's more, I am not only not afraid of the general bandit forces, but I welcome them very much."

said.

Ling Jiuqiu showed a strange smile.

Fang Qingyi looked at him with guilt on his face: "I'm sorry, I dragged you down, if it weren't for me, you might have passed directly through the Taihang Mountains and arrived at Tongyuan City alone, so you don't have to worry so much at all." ”

"The reason why I want to choose a safe route is also because I am afraid that if you encounter danger, you will be hurt because you take care of me."

"Similar to yesterday's incident, if it happens a few more times, I'm not sure if the other party will be arrested and used as a hostage to coerce you."

"In case this really happens, Jiuqiu, I hope you can give up on me directly, or kill me directly."

Fang Qingyi looked at him seriously.

"Promise me, is it okay?"

Ling Jiuqiu nodded: "Yes." ”

He nodded so decisively that Fang Qingyi almost didn't react for a while.

"That's good, follow the route you said."

Fang Qingyi laughed.

Smile brightly like a flower.

It made Ling Jiuqiu silent for a moment.

Soon, the two rode out of town.

Gallop along the established route.

On that narrow mountain road, the two of them really met bandits, but they were all rabble, and under the sweep of Ling Jiuqiu, they all died soon, and the martial soul was devoured by Ling Jiuqiu.

Wisps of golden energy melted into the flame pattern, making it grow little by little.

Ling Jiuqiu wanted to raise the fire element martial soul to the ground level before entering the Yanlong Martial Arts Academy, and the martial souls plundered on the way were naturally based on this.

The reason why he chose this route, in addition to being closer, was mainly to meet more bandits and use them as nourishment for the upgrading of the fire element martial soul.
