Liyang City

Qinghuai Lane

Late at night!

The stars in the sky were dim, and the entire city was immersed in haze, and the brightly lit southern city in the past also seemed particularly quiet at this time.

Burst!

A beam of green fire suddenly burst into the sky in the corner of the north of the city, and the whole city was instantly lively.

The crackling explosion of spells, the clashing of magic bells, the screams of cultivators, the wails, the roars of rage, and the strange laughter that floated from nowhere.

Like a drama about to start, characters appear one by one, turning the silent night into a lively one.

"The madmen of the Tongyou Sect are here again! Damn it! ”

A disciple of the Liyang Sect who was in charge of patrolling looked at the sky-high flames that were burning in the distance, and angrily smashed his fist on the locust tree beside him.

The already small number of leaves on the locust tree were shaken off a few more, and it looked more and more miserable.

"Don't worry! The elders in the gate will come over soon to deal with it, and we just need to take care of our own area! ”

Yu Heng, who had a heavy face, patted his junior brother on the shoulder and told him not to be too excited.

Recently, every late at night, there will be people from the Tongyou Sect who have transformed into ghost cultivators to wreak havoc in the city.

This group of people relied on the means of ghost cultivation, and they fought if they could beat it, and ran away if they couldn't beat it, and the entire Liyang Sect was in a mess, but there was nothing they could do.

The only thing they hoped for now was that the Tianhe Patriarch would solve the Ancestor of the Tongyou Sect as soon as possible, and he would be able to free up his hands to help them clean up these scattered ghost cultivators.

Looking around, the monks living nearby had already opened the defensive formations arranged at home, and those who did not have arranged the formations had also activated the defensive talismans attached to the walls.

Yu Heng sighed softly in his heart.

According to the news he heard, the people of the Tongyou Sect who had transformed into ghost cultivators were all cultivators in the foundation building period at the very least, and all of them were strong.

With these defenses alone, to be honest, it is just a psychological comfort.

It may not be as effective as a warding charm, or an exorcismal charm.

However, recently, the price of talismans such as evil charms and exorcism charms, which can fight against spirits, has skyrocketed, and even if they want to buy them, they may not be able to buy them.

Yu Heng secretly prayed in his heart, only hoping that no ghost cultivators would target them, so that they could spend tonight safely.

The time lasted for more than an hour, and as a large number of Liyang Sect elders flew out of the mountain gate, the battle in the city gradually showed signs of subsidence.

Just when Yu Heng and the others secretly breathed a sigh of relief, wisps of faint gray mist had already surrounded them unconsciously.

A strong sense of sleepiness suddenly surged into his heart, and Yu Heng shook his head desperately, but to no avail.

"What's going on?"

Before Yu Heng could figure out the situation, a member of the patrol team next to him suddenly fell to the ground with a pop.

"There are enemies!"

Yu Heng suddenly came to his senses, he shouted, and immediately released his magic weapon, a fiery red vajra circle.

Poof! Poof!

Although there was a reminder from him, the patrolmen around him were still falling one after another, and there were barely two people who took out the magic weapons, and they were also staggering, looking like they were drunk and had no combat effectiveness.

"This is my new psychedelic technique! Looks like it's working pretty well! Boom! ”

A gloomy sound, like the voice of a male duck, floated from the darkness.

Yu Heng beat his spirit, and wanted to control the magic weapon to attack, but he found that the spirit was completely uncontrolled, and the spiritual power in his body was mobilized, which was also obscure and abnormal, and the steel ring of the magic weapon around him flickered and swayed, not to mention flying out to attack people, and it was a little difficult to even maintain it.

"Don't hold on! You are no match for me! ”

An old man shrouded in black mist, as if he had no entity, only revealing a strange blood-red face, slowly floated out of the darkness.

A cold aura emanated from the blood-faced old man's body, and he let out a cold laugh, his eyes full of hunger for food.

"Don't worry! I'm going to make your death less painful! Boom! ”

The black mist turned into a long arm and grabbed at Yu Heng, who was still desperately resisting.

Yu Heng felt that his spirit was becoming more and more trance-like, as if his soul was about to fly out of his body.

"Damn!"

The other party's methods were too secretive, they didn't even have time to send a signal, and when the elders found out, it was estimated that they would only have to help them collect the corpses.

Roar!

A clear dragon roar suddenly sounded in Yu Heng's ears, and the spirit that was already in a trance suddenly sobered up a lot, and when he raised his eyes, he saw a flame dragon, roaring, and crashing towards the old man of the black mist.

"Damn! Where did the foundation building period come from? ”

The old man of the black mist scolded angrily, but he had to withdraw his arm and mobilize the black mist to resist.

Boom!

The two collided, and the black mist dissipated a lot, and the fire dragon also dispersed, revealing a red flying sword with mysterious runes flashing all over its body.

The flying sword roared lightly, turned the sword body, and the sword burst out, shooting towards the old man in the black mist again.

The old man of the black mist released the black mist to resist a few times, and after realizing that he could not take it down immediately, he immediately escaped into the ground without hesitation.

The long sword blasted a large hole in the ground, but there was not the slightest trace of the opponent.

Finally, the sword spun around and flew into the sky, and a figure in a blue robe just flew in, and the sword quickly shrank and burrowed into his cuffs.

"Thank you seniors for saving your life!"

Yu Heng, who barely recovered a little energy, hurriedly stepped forward and bowed in thanks.

"I haven't seen you for a few months, Yu Daoyou can't recognize it!" Someone fell from the sky and laughed.

"Huh?"

Yu Heng raised his head suspiciously, looked at the other party's face, and the next moment, his eyes couldn't help but widen, and his face was full of shock.

"You're Xu, Xu Daoyou?!"

"It's down there!"

……

"Damn! Liyang Sect should have been attracted by the senior brother during the foundation building period, why is there such a thing? What a bad luck! ”

The figure of the old man in the black fog came out of the ground, and he said unpleasantly.

Originally, he wanted to catch a few disciples of the Liyang Sect to replenish his soul power, but now it seems that he can only find a few ordinary casual cultivators.

"Wait! The old man will let your soul fly away sooner or later! ”

The old man of the black mist snorted coldly, and was about to pass through the nearby courtyard wall, but suddenly there was a strange feeling in his heart, and he was vigilant in his heart, and turned his head suddenly.

A strange crow with four eyes and black flames was standing on the wall and looking at him.

Without waiting for the old man to react, the crow slowly opened its mouth.

……

Ga!

"Huh?"

Yu Heng, who was catching up with Xu Mu, heard the sound of crows and immediately looked not far away, but did not find anything abnormal.

I wondered if the effect of the spell just now hadn't disappeared.

At this time, Xu Mu spoke: "Yu Daoyou, I'm still in a hurry to go home and have a look, so I won't talk to you more!" ”

"Senior Xu, just go and get busy! I'll visit you in person tomorrow! ”

Yu Heng looked unusually respectful.

Regardless of whether the other party was lucky or not, he was lucky enough to succeed in building the foundation, but it is an indisputable fact that the other party is a great monk during the foundation building period.

In the face of a great cultivator in the foundation building period, even if he is a disciple of the sect, he must show enough respect.

When Xu Mu's back disappeared, several members of the patrol team began to discuss with envy on their faces.

"I remember Xu, Senior Xu only practiced the seventh layer of Qi when he first moved here, but I didn't expect to build a foundation in a blink of an eye!"

"Yes! At that time, I thought he was too old and hopeless in this life! Unexpected! I really didn't expect it! ”

"After the advanced foundation building, not only has the strength increased greatly, but the life span has reached more than two hundred years old, and it is really a step to the sky, and in the future, this senior Xu will not be a person of the same world as us!"

"Alas! It's really more human than human, and it's infuriating! Obviously, he had to be polite to us some time ago! ”

One by one, they are both envious and a little depressed!

Obviously, they are disciples of the sect, and they are obviously more talented, but in the face of the foundation building period, they still feel that the other party has already completed the advancement.

"That's it! Don't even say it! It's not good if you let Senior Xu hear it! Senior Xu was able to advance, that was the opportunity! This kind of thing can't be forced, as long as we continue to work hard, there may not be no opportunities in the future! ”

Hearing Yu Heng say this, everyone recovered a little.

Under the leadership of Yu Heng, several people continued to patrol the vicinity, and the news about what happened just now, as well as Xu Mu, had been passed on to the sect through the jade talisman.

It is estimated that someone will come to visit tomorrow and invite Xu Mu to join the sect.

On the other side, Xu Mu, who was walking towards the door of the house, suddenly stopped, and the next moment, a crow with its wings flapped flew over from the darkness and landed on his shoulder.

"It's good luck for you!"

Looking at the ink crow whose aura had been enhanced, Xu Mu couldn't help but smile.

For others, it is natural to avoid ghost cultivation, but for beast souls that can devour spirits, it is a great supplement.

Putting the ink crow into his body, he didn't go far before the door came into view.

Divine perception is in the process.

In the house, Ye Yingying, Lan Shijin, Leng Yuening, Xu Ling, Ouyang Ying, Zhang Shouren, Zhang Yu, White Wolf, the three little guys, and the two little maids, all of them were safe and sound, among them, Lan Shijin's cultivation had broken through the seventh layer of Qi training, and Ye Yingying and Leng Yuening had also improved a lot.

In fact, he had already seen it when he first came back, otherwise he would not have the leisure to save Yu Heng and the others.

He went to the door and knocked on it.

Bang bang!

"Who?"

"It's me!"

The door slowly opened, and a group of people were still in the defensive formation, and when they saw that it was Xu Mu who came in, they were all very excited, only Lan Shijin looked nervous.

"Xianggong!"

Ye Yingying wanted to rush out of the formation and pounce into Xu Mu's arms, but was pulled by Lan Shijin.

"Don't get excited! Have you forgotten the rumors in the city? The aura on his body is wrong, it is likely to be transformed by ghost cultivation! ”

Being reminded by Lan Shijin, Ye Yingying reacted immediately, her excited expression dissipated, and her eyes looking at Xu Mu became suspicious.

The others became suspicious as well.

Only Xu Ling sat on the head of the white wolf, looked at the nervous crowd, scratched her little head, and didn't quite understand.

This is obviously Daddy!

Seeing the appearance of everyone, Xu Mu touched his nose and was a little speechless.

It is estimated that it was because he broke through the foundation and the spiritual pressure on his body was much stronger, which made Lan Shijin misunderstood.

The formation in front of him naturally couldn't stop him, but there was no need for him to forcibly destroy it, his eyes flashed, and he had an idea.

"Lan Daoyou, I remember that before leaving, I put a spirit bird egg in your place, I don't know if it's still there?" Xu Mu said with a smile.

"Spirit eggs?"

Everyone was stunned for a moment, and looked at Lan Shijin in confusion.

I guessed in my heart that it would be some kind of powerful beast egg, put it there for Lan Shijin, and let her help hatch it.

Under the gaze of everyone, Lan Shijin's fair-skinned face turned red at a speed visible to the naked eye.

This bastard actually said that kind of thing in front of so many people.

She clenched her silver teeth, feeling ashamed and annoyed, and said coquettishly: "Of course! If you don't eat it later, I'll see how I clean you up! ”

After speaking, he untied the formation and went back to the house in a huff.

Everyone was confused by the two of them, but since Lan Shijin had unlocked the formation, there should be no doubt that Xu Mu in front of him was true.

"Xianggong! Are you in the advanced foundation building period? ”

Ye Yingying threw herself into his arms, looked up at his cheek and asked.

Everyone in the courtyard looked at Xu Mu, and Lan Shijin, who had already walked into the house, couldn't help but stop.

Although everyone felt the powerful spiritual pressure that was only available in the foundation building period from him, they were still not sure until Xu Mu admitted it himself.

That's the foundation building period!

How many Qi cultivators dream of the realm!

Except for Leng Yuening, who had a little hope, the others didn't even dare to fantasize.

"Hmm!"

Xu Mu smiled and nodded.

Ye Yingying's tears of excitement burst out of her eyes.

"I knew that...... I knew that Xianggong would definitely be able to! ”
