The next day, after a brief packing process, the group continued their journey.

After a night's rest, although Li Xiuping's complexion has improved a lot, his injuries have not improved, which makes Li Xiuping a little incomprehensible.

The reason why he forcibly urged the sword qi again and again before was because of the effect obtained after that sword when he dealt with the people of Jingdemen before.

It was too difficult to improve the sword intent, and Li Xiuping naturally would not let go of any opportunity to improve the sword intent.

He originally thought that the previous promotion was due to the forcible drive of the sword intent, but this time not only did he not improve any sword intent, but he suffered a counterattack from the sword intent and ended up with a serious injury.

In fact, such injuries have not been unheard of before, but now that they are about to cross the Seven Gorges Mountain, it is impossible to avoid encountering demon beasts, as far as his current situation is concerned, not to mention the Zhuji demon beasts, even ordinary fierce beasts can't deal with them.

The morning fog in the mountains was very heavy, and even the mountain roads were covered by fog, and it was difficult to discern the direction, not to mention that there were several seriously injured people in the team, so the team did not go fast.

The mountain road was rugged and bumpy, and Li Xiuping sat in the carriage, swaying and very uncomfortable.

The carriage walked in front, and the group of monks walked behind, all looking a little solemn.

After walking like this for a while, a monk who was very injured fell to the ground despite being supported by his physical exhaustion.

"Senior Brother Yang, are you okay?" The disciple in charge of supporting exclaimed.

The wounded monk shook his head with some difficulty, and even speaking had become a luxury.

The female cultivator surnamed Su walked up at this time, first frowned, and then shouted to the people in front of her: "Senior Brother Yin, Senior Brother Yang can't walk, should we take a break?" ”

Hearing the shout, everyone in front of them stopped, all frowning.

The monk surnamed Yin walked back, and after observing it, he fell into thought.

The female cultivator surnamed Su walked directly to the carriage in front of her at this time, and then said with an arrogant face: "Hey, our people can't walk, borrow your carriage and use it." ”

The man who drove the carriage looked stunned and could only look at the carriage.

"I don't borrow it."

Li Xiuping's voice came from the carriage: "You can carry him away, and besides, it's best not to stay here for too long, once the demon beast finds out, there is only one way to die." ”

The female cultivator surnamed Su didn't seem to expect to be rejected, and frowned: "Why are you like this, if it weren't for us last night, you would have died a long time ago, and now our people are injured because of fighting against demon beasts, what's wrong with borrowing a carriage from you?" It's not that I won't pay you back. ”

Li Xiuping simply stopped talking and closed his eyes directly.

His injuries were not light, and he didn't feel like he was sitting in the carriage that if he came down and walked, his condition would not be much better than those wounded monks.

Now that he is in danger and can be in danger at any time, he must make sure that he has enough physical strength to deal with danger, but it is not a time for compassion to overflow.

Xu Bansheng was just about to speak, Li Xiuping opened his eyes directly and glared at him, Xu Bansheng could only shut up.

The female cultivator surnamed Su was about to get angry, and the monk surnamed Yin walked up at this time, pulled her aside, and then saluted the carriage, and said with a smile: "My junior sister is not sensible, please forgive me if I offend." It's just that our people really can't walk, do you want to rest for a while before leaving? ”

Li Xiuping's voice sounded in the carriage again: "Then rest for a while, at most a quarter of an hour." ”

Based on the current situation of the three of them, it is obviously unrealistic to cross the Seven Gorges Mountain alone, and walking with this group of people can also take care of each other, since the carriage cannot be allowed to force them on the road. And it's daytime now, as long as it's not too unlucky, the probability of encountering a powerful demon beast is very low, and it's okay to stay for a while.

The monk surnamed Yin said gratefully, "Thank you Gongzi Li for your understanding. ”

After saying that, he turned around and told everyone to rest on the spot.

In the carriage, Li Xiuping looked at Xu Bansheng and frowned: "You told them all our identities?" ”

Xu Bansheng nodded and said, "What's wrong?" With the deterrence of my Huayang Sect and the matter of Jingdemen, even if they really want to fight our idea, I am afraid that they will have to weigh it. ”

Li Xiuping asked, "Then do you know who they are?" ”

Xu Bansheng was stunned.

As soon as Li Xiuping saw his expression, he knew that this guy definitely didn't ask, and frowned: "You don't even know their identities, have you ever had a holiday with Huayang Sect?" Will you care about Huayang Sect? Just tell the whole picture of their own situation, doesn't it mean that they completely dispel their worries? ”

Xu Bansheng's face changed suddenly, and he said in a low voice: "It's impossible, if you really want to do it, you have already done it, so why wait until now?" Are you being too cautious? ”

Li Xiuping sighed: "I hope I think about it too much." However, it is best to find a way to figure out the identity of this group of people and the purpose of this trip, know ourselves and the enemy, and we can have more confidence in our hearts. ”

Li Xiuping couldn't guess the identities of these people, but he could guess the purpose of these people. According to Xu Bansheng, there are still about three months, which is the so-called Immortal Ascension Conference in the cultivation world, so these people should be going to the Immortal Ascension Conference, after all, although these people are not very old, their cultivation is generally not low, and almost all of them are above the fifth level of Qi cultivation. And this is why Li Xiuping is worried.

If it was just a treasure, these people might not have any evil thoughts because of the shock of Huayang Sect and the backers behind him. But after all, the Immortal Ascension Conference is only once in a hundred years, and it is closely related to the ruins, so it is difficult to say. Although Li Xiuping didn't know much about the specific situation of the Immortal Ascension Conference, he could be sure that it would definitely be a highly competitive event.

If they hadn't made a move before, but now that they've shown their strength, it's hard to guarantee that these people won't treat them as competitors and then take advantage of this opportunity to get rid of them.

Whether it is Huayang Sect or the backer behind him, if they die in this wilderness, who can know?

The reason why they didn't do it now was that they wanted to use their strength to cross the Seven Gorges Mountain first?

Of course, these are Li Xiuping's own speculations, and it may be like Xu Bansheng said, Li Xiuping thought too much.

Not far away, the nun surnamed Su was sitting on the ground at the moment, constantly tapping her thigh with her hand. Along the way, there was almost no stopping, and the speed was not slow, even those of them who were not seriously injured could stand it, let alone those who were seriously injured.

"How can there be such a person in this world, he is clearly not injured, but he still has to occupy the carriage and refrain from letting it, if he encounters a demon beast because of the delay in the trip, what good will it be for him?" She looked at the carriage not far away, and she was angry.

The monk surnamed Yin smiled and said, "The carriage belongs to someone else, and he has no obligation to give it to us, and besides, their injuries are not light." Now that they are in danger, they naturally have to ensure that they have enough physical strength, and it is understandable. ”

The monk surnamed Chao frowned and said, "They are also injured?" ”

The monk surnamed Yin nodded and said, "At that level of battle, even the Jindan stage powerhouses are not comfortable, how can they not be injured at all?" And when I approached the carriage last night, I smelled a very strong smell of blood, so Li Xiuping's injuries were probably much more serious than we thought. Didn't you notice that he hadn't left the carriage since the end of last night's fighting? ”

When everyone heard this, they all nodded.

The monk surnamed Chao said at this time: "I really didn't expect that the rumored person who has no spiritual roots can have such ability, and he is worthy of being a disciple of Mr. Ouye. It's just that such a person, why did he choose Huayang Sect, even if he can't go to a big sect like Jiuyuan Mountain and Xuanqing Gate, a sect that is better than Huayang Sect, there are a lot of Yunzhou. ”

The monk surnamed Yin nodded, indicating that he couldn't figure it out either.

The monk surnamed Chao asked, "Senior Brother Yin, do you think he will participate in the Immortal Ascension Conference?" ”

The monk surnamed Yin was stunned for a moment, shook his head and said: "It's hard to say, the Immortal Ascension Conference only comes once in a hundred years, Huayang Sect will naturally not let go of this opportunity, and Huayang Sect can now be said to be a withering talent, I heard that among the younger generation, the monks who have successfully built the foundation don't even have their hands, since this Li Xiuping has this strength, maybe he will really participate." ”

The monk surnamed Chao nodded, thoughtful.

After resting like this for a while, the group continued their journey.

The sun was shining, and the fog in the mountains had been completely dispelled, which made everyone's heavy mood a little lighter.

If you want to cross the Seven Gorges Mountain before dark, you have to travel quickly, and it was fine in the morning, but now under the scorching sun, everyone will soon be miserable, but they can't stop, so they hold on until noon, and everyone stops to trim for a while and eat something.

The female cultivator surnamed Liu stood under a tree, blowing the cool mountain breeze, extremely happy, and said: "This Qixia Mountain is not as terrifying as they say, and even a demon beast has not been encountered so far." ”

The monk surnamed Yin said: "This is less than half of the journey, and it is too early to draw conclusions. ”

The female cultivator surnamed Liu said, "I don't believe that we are so unlucky, we can always meet the powerful demon beast last night." ”

The monk surnamed Yin nodded this time.

Indeed, even if it is Qixia Mountain, it is impossible to have so many third-order demon beasts, after all, there is Qingyang County in the back, and it is already very bad luck to be able to meet those two last night, if they meet again, then their group of people will inevitably be too unlucky.

As soon as he finished speaking, there was a strange sound in the surrounding dense forest, which instantly made everyone's nerves that had just relaxed tense, and then they all began to gather together, and many people even had a look of fear on their faces.

On the side of the carriage, Xu Bansheng also stood up, and involuntarily pinched a demon suppression talisman in his hand.

Li Xiuping stretched out his hand and opened the curtain of the car, looking out through the gap.

I saw that in the dense forest, a pair of demon beasts with eyes exuding a faint green light kept appearing, and in the blink of an eye, they had already surrounded everyone, and the number was incalculable.
