Chapter Sixty-Eight: The Runaways
Yang Yunsheng panicked in his heart, and with a palm split, the Dao Dao palm prints attacked Li Qingxiao, Li Qingxiao didn't look at it, he punched out, and the Dao Dao fist shadow was overwhelming, completely covering those palm prints.
A knife shadow flashed, and in an instant, a human head had already landed.
At this time, the hall was silent, and no sound could be heard.
Wang Yiming trembled in his heart, he didn't expect Li Qingxiao, who was healing, to be so powerful, he knew that he was like this, and he surrendered like Zhang Kai. In fact, almost all of the people who think like him are.
They trembled backwards, and a tremor could be heard in the swords in their hands.
Suddenly, Li Qingxiao opened his mouth and said, "What? Who else wants to see how I killed you? ”
Wang Yiming immediately spoke: "Senior Li, everything is a misunderstanding, we are now surrendering, electing you as the master of the Jingyi Sect, and begging the seniors to let the juniors take a dog's life." ”
Everyone also echoed, as if what had just happened was really a misunderstanding.
Li Qingxiao looked at the performance of these people before and after, disgusted, a pile of fireworks talismans were thrown, and suddenly, the hall was filled with smoke, and they couldn't see each other clearly.
The shadows of the swords flashed and flashed continuously, emitting dazzling light, and the sound of pleasant swords came from time to time in the air.
The smoke cleared, and when they saw what was going on inside, everyone outside the hall gasped.
The bodies of more than a dozen prefecture-level martial artists fell to the ground, and their heads were scattered all over the ground.
Li Qingxiao stood up and walked slowly in front of Zhang Kai, no matter what, Zhang Kai was also seriously injured for himself, how could he stand by and watch?
His left hand was on Zhang Kai's wrist, and a stream of true qi was injected, moistening the broken meridians, and slowly Zhang Kai's face became a little ruddy, and he soon opened his eyes.
When Zhang Kai saw Li Qingxiao, he struggled to get up, Li Qingxiao hinted that he should not move, Zhang Kai understood what Li Qingxiao meant, sat up slowly, and used his internal qi to heal his wounds.
When Li Qingxiao walked to the entrance of the hall, the people who were originally here had already dissipated, and they probably all left from the main hall gate.
He looked at the mountain peaks in the distance, the white clouds in the sky, and the occasional birds flying by, and his heart felt a peace that he had never felt before.
After standing for a long time, he returned to the hall, packed up his magic weapon, and carefully examined it with a scimitar in his hand, feeling very comfortable.
He activated his true qi and slowly poured it into the scimitar, which volleyed into the air and hissed.
Suddenly, with a finger of his left hand, the scimitar flew out, and the speed was extremely fast, piercing all kinds of barriers in the air.
In a moment, only a loud "boom" was heard, and a chair in the center of the hall had become powder.
Li Qingxiao's heart is extremely happy, the speed is faster than a knife, and the lethality is even more amazing, no wonder it is said that it can kill the enemy thousands of miles away and fly above the nine heavens, it seems that what he said is true.
But how does this Edgeworth fly do it? By the way, the scimitar recipe is in Duan Wudao's hand, and now that Duan Wublade is dead, the scimitar recipe really doesn't know where to start.
However, he is already very satisfied in his heart, as long as he can kill the enemy, self-defense is stronger than anything else.
Zhang Kai was interrupted by a loud bang, and found that his injury had improved slightly under the injection of Li Qingxiao's true qi, as long as he had time to calm down and recuperate seriously, he believed that he would recover soon.
He simply stood up slowly, walked in front of Li Qingxiao, clasped his fists and said, "Thank you seniors for coming to the rescue, junior Zhang Kate came to ask for guilt, please punish the seniors." ”
Li Qingxiao was baffled by Zhang Kai's sudden words, the first sentence was fine, but the latter was pleaded guilty and punished or something, where to start?
Seeing Li Qingxiao's dazed look, Zhang Kai explained: "The younger generation was originally a quiet person, but now he has become a prisoner, and he is willing to be punished by his seniors. ”
After hearing this, Li Qingxiao suddenly realized that this is the ancient set at all, one person commits a crime, and he is connected with nine clans.
There is a lifelong slave or something at every turn, this Jingyi is really a strange thing, what age is it.
He suddenly thought of one thing, those Jing Sect disciples who escaped, although they had a broken arm, but they still had cultivation, would they take the opportunity to rob ordinary people?
Thinking of this, he couldn't help but sink in his heart, he was too negligent, he usually thought about the common people in the world, but now he is so confused.
He immediately stood up, put away the scimitar, and walked out of the hall quickly, Zhang Kai didn't know why, followed closely, and asked in a low voice: "Senior, is there anything you can tell the junior to do." ”
"I just need your help in something, immediately gather all the disciples of the Jingyi Sect to gather in the main hall, the time is a pillar of incense, and if the time limit is exceeded, you will bear the consequences." Li Qingxiao said.
"Yes, seniors, juniors will do it immediately." After speaking, Zhang Kai picked up the big knife and quickly walked out of the hall.
Li Qingxiao was not at ease, he was about to walk out of the hall, and he couldn't see a single person along the road, even the peasants in the cornfield.
At this time, he saw two figures emerging from the cornfield on the side, these two people Li Qingxiao knew, it was the old man he met before and the little girl named Hong'er.
Seeing the two of them walking towards him, Li Qingxiao hurriedly greeted him.
"Cheap slave Mushan and Hong'er thank their benefactors for saving their lives." The old man was about to kneel on the ground as he spoke, but Li Qingxiao hurriedly stopped him and asked, "Grandpa, there were still many people here when I came, why is it so empty now, and not even a pedestrian can be seen." ”
"Steward Hong said, you are a murderous maniac, see one to kill one, see one to kill one pair, call on all the people, civilians, slaves and maids to unite and unite with the outside world. and supported a person named Zhao Xingfeng as the new master, assisted by him personally. ”
"Everyone in Jingyimen followed Steward Hong and left, hiding in the thorn ridge south of the mine, Hong'er and I have seen you, and we know in our hearts that you are not the person they say you are, Hong'er and I are unwilling to leave, so we hid." The old man said carefully.
When Li Qingxiao heard this, he felt depressed in his heart, this Jingyi Sect really has any birds, that Hong Steward wants to be the master of the door, why should he slander his reputation, it is really hateful.
"What's that Thorn Ridge?" Li Qingxiao hurriedly asked.
"Thorn Ridge is...... It is a place of exile, and anyone who makes a big mistake, or is the leader of the tribe here, will be exiled to Thorn Ridge and left to fend for himself. The old man said with a sigh.
"The original tribal leader?" Li Qingxiao asked with a blank expression.
"Benefactor, don't you know, more than ten years ago, this was a tribe called Taoyuan Village, everyone was equal, the degree of food and clothing was very balanced, men and women were weaving, and they were self-sufficient. Moreover, he usually practices the exercises handed down by his ancestors to strengthen his body, and some of his exercises are equipped with pills for people to heal their injuries. ”
"I never thought that the tribe sent out to exchange items was assassinated halfway, and the assassin disguised himself as a clansman and infiltrated my tribe with a customs clearance jade card."
"This person is Duan Wuji, after he came in, he first observed for a few days, and found that the cultivation of the martial artists in my tribe is only to strengthen the body, so he openly called out and carried out a large-scale massacre, killing all those who resisted, regardless of men, women and children."
"The tribal leaders who surrendered were either exiled or given slaves for life. Later, Duan Wujian recruited a group of warriors from outside, all of whom were from Jingyi in the Yellow River Valley, so he directly changed the Taoyuan Village tribe to Jingyimen. The old man said, as if recalling that sweet and unbearable time.
Li Qingxiao finally understood what was going on, it turned out that this place was occupied by outsiders, no wonder such a cruel and inhumane rule was implemented.
When he was about to ask about some more things, Zhang Kai hurried over with Yang Tongyu and said in a panic:
"Senior, the big thing is not good, the representatives of the various sects were killed one by one by the Hong Steward, and some civilians who were unwilling to leave were also killed, and the rest were coerced by the Hong Steward to run to the Thorn Ridge."
"What's the origin of this flood steward?" Li Qingxiao asked suspiciously.
"No one knows the real name of Steward Hong, usually everyone calls him Hong San, and I heard that he came from the Yellow River Valley with Duan Wujian before. This person is not conspicuous, and judging from the means of killing the representatives of various sects, he is at least a mid-heaven-level cultivator. Zhang Kai said.
"Who of you knows the way to Thorn Ridge? I need to get on my way right now. Li Qingxiao asked eagerly.
"Senior, Tong Yu and I can lead the way." Zhang Kai hurriedly said.
"By the way, Hong'er, do you know Bing'er and the boulder?" Li Qingxiao suddenly remembered these two people, looked at Hong'er and asked.
"Of course I know, they are lifelong slaves, and my status is not high, we often played together when we were children." Hong'er said happily.
"Okay, Hong'er, I'll ask you one thing: after we leave, you go to the cave leading to the outside world, see a mountain spring, go inside, then turn left, and you will find Bing'er and the boulder. You can take them out and wait for me to come back. ”
"Benefactor, even if you are busy, Hong'er and I will definitely do these little things." Without waiting for Hong'er to answer, Mushan preemptively said.
Li Qingxiao glanced at Mu Shan gratefully and said, "Then thank you." After speaking, he went on the road with Zhang Kai and Yang Tongyu.
On the way, Yang Tongyu pouted and muttered: "Steward Hong, this time you have done too much, everything that can be taken away has been taken away, and everything that can't be taken away has been smashed and burned." ”
Zhang Kai sighed and said: "Playing with intrigues, we can't compare to these veteran Jingyi people." However, Tong Yu should listen to Senior Li more in the future. ”
"Master......" Yang Tongyu pouted and glanced at Li Qingxiao, as if there was something that was difficult to say in front of Li Qingxiao.
Li Qingxiao looked at Yang Tongyu's expression, and simply changed the topic and said, "How long does it take to get to Thorn Ridge?" ”
Zhang Kai said respectfully: "It will take about an hour. However, Hong San has not been walking for a long time with so many people, as long as we speed up our pace, it is estimated that we will be able to catch up halfway. ”
Li Qingxiao said: "Then I'll go first, and you can do your best to catch up." ”
