When Jiang Sheng returned to the strange world again, he couldn't help but lick his lips.

He finally knew why Sword Fifteen had stayed in this place now.

He also finally understood why Tu Shan Dazun and Jian Fifteen had told him before that after destroying the strange ghosts, you would fall in love with this feeling.

There is no doubt that Jiang Sheng has completely fallen in love with this feeling by now.

After the strange ghost was killed by him, the bead left behind, under Jiang Sheng's gaze, quickly turned into pure divine soul power and completely integrated into his divine soul.

It's like drinking a cold beer on a hot summer day.

Jiang Sheng only felt that the cool feeling made his bones a little numb.

What followed was an explosive increase in the strength of the divine soul!

Originally, his Divine Soul had already reached the strength of the Eighth Rank Divine Soul, and using the Soul Melting Secret Technique, he was able to last for about fifteen hours.

Now that he has killed this strange ghost, he has made his spirit twice as strong as before!

Now, if he simply used the Soul Melting Secret Technique, his Divine Soul strength would allow him to hold on for a full thirty hours.

If he planned his time reasonably, he would have almost reached the level of casting the Soul Melting Secret Technique without any gaps.

This kind of improvement is not small for him!

Previously, Jiang Sheng had always been thinking about Iron Fist.

By this time, the iron fist had completely become a second-line product.

There's nothing like the output of the ghost's death!

Jiang Sheng licked his lips.

Now that the Divine Soul has doubled, in addition to the Divine Soul becoming more powerful, there are naturally many benefits.

It's just that none of these benefits are as intuitive as the production of flesh.

But what is certain is that Jiang Sheng's cultivation speed after that will be faster than before, and even, as long as he finds an ability that can cast his divine soul means in this world, his strength will naturally soar in the future.

As soon as he thought of this, Jiang Sheng was even more curious about the Iron Tiger Gate, which needed to cultivate the foundation of iron wire boxing.

To be able to have this kind of basic technique for exercising the power of the divine soul, in the Iron Tiger Gate, there is a high probability that he will have the kind of technique that can use the power of the divine soul in his imagination.

As soon as Jiang Sheng thought of this, he rushed towards the direction of True Yang City without hesitation.

More than a month has passed since Xiaojia's Qingtongxia was attacked.

After thinking about it for more than a month, it was almost time for the huge external turmoil faced by the Xiao family to calm down.

However, the general subsidence does not mean that there will be fewer small-scale frictions than before.

Now that he goes back at this time, he may be able to get some news from the mouth of the Xiao family that he didn't know before.

At least, Xiao Qingfeng's line, he definitely didn't want to waste it.

True Yang City, Xiao Family.

Xiao Qingfeng sat against the wall with a bloody face, his spirit seemed to be extremely tired, and now he was mixed in those servant piles, following the servants around him who were far inferior to him, and he had already fallen asleep by leaning together.

The servants on the side didn't look much better than him, they were just a little bloody, and they didn't have time to change their clothes.

But in the side garden on the side, there were already wounded warriors everywhere.

The light ones have three or four deep visible bone scars on their bodies, and the heavy ones have a lot of stumps and broken arms.

However, this is the case, and the upper echelons of the Xiao family still feel that there is a lack of manpower everywhere.

The forces in the hands of the family are all in smoke, and if they don't deal with it well, just this time, they may be beaten from the first-class gate valve to the third-rate.

No one wants to bear this kind of thing.

Fortunately, although all the forces in True Yang City are now targeting the Xiao family, no one chooses to kill the Xiao family at this time.

It is true that the Xiao family has already left in order to pursue his martial arts avenue, but that is just leaving, and the people are not dead.

As long as the Xiao family still retains this glimmer of hope, no one dares to really do things.

No one wants to face a genius like the Xiao family, who can be called a peerless demon, and one day return to Zhenyang City, but there is no trace of the Xiao family.

When the time comes, one is not good, and the entire True Yang City will be destroyed, and they will all be innocent.

Everyone knows this kind of thing, and the upper echelons of the Xiao family are naturally very clear.

It is precisely because of the protection of the Xiao family that the bottom line of their expectations is much higher than normal.

It is this kind of preoccupation that has led them to face this avoidable brutal conquest now.

"Xiao Qingfeng, there is a new task."

"The clan elder has an order, so you can lead the team to the Fenglin Mine outside the city to stay for three days, and you must not let the Fenglin Mine be lost!"

With that, the man dropped a piece of paper and left in a hurry.

Such a scene is very common in the Xiao family.

Even if Xiao Qingfeng wanted to reason with others, now he could only look at the order in front of him with a blank expression, and he was silent.

Who can reason with him? Who is he qualified to theorize with?

Even though Xiao Qingfeng is very unwilling, even though he knows very well, after this trip, I am afraid that the final result will be very tragic, he is just a copper skin realm, in this level of fighting, other forces can casually send people who practice the dirty realm over, just rely on them, how can they hold it?

Three days?

If those forces are determined to fight, in less than three hours, all their people stationed in the Maple Forest Mine will die!

However, there was nothing he could do at this time.

"Brothers, you have all heard, let's hold on for three more days, and after three days, I will definitely buy us enough time to recuperate!"

"Let's go, let's go!"

Xiao Qingfeng barely cheered up, and then gave an order.

The servants who were originally leaning on his side also stood up listlessly, like zombies, and walked out behind Xiao Qingfeng.

Everyone knew it would be difficult, but they never thought that this situation would evolve into such a difficult situation.

Xiao Mingyuan is now also following behind Xiao Qingfeng.

Originally, he was supposed to be the leader of this team, but now, his status has been pressed to the lowest.

is just a pawn under Xiao Qingfeng.

Since Xiao Qingfeng led everyone back to the Xiao family, Xiao Mingyuan has not had the slightest possibility of continuing to cover up.

According to his statement, Xiong Qigu should have been captured by the people of Flying Bear Village a long time ago, except for him who barely "killed" a bloody path, the rest of the people have already died.

But now Xiao Qingfeng, who should have died, came back with his subordinates intact.

Not only did they come back, but they also brought a lot of materials from the Flying Bear Village, and even the head of the owner of the village also brought back.

Flying Bear Village did not capture Xiongqi Valley, but was captured.

The conflict between these two things immediately put Xiao Mingyuan in an extremely disadvantageous place.

In addition, the Xiao family was besieged everywhere, and they were already in a disadvantageous situation, in order to boost the morale of everyone in the clan, Xiao Qingfeng's capture of Feixiong Village naturally served as a model.

Although anyone with a discerning eye knows that Flying Bear Village is definitely impossible for Xiao Qingfeng to break, no matter what, this credit must now be counted on Xiao Qingfeng's body.

As for the results that those clan elders asked from his mouth, what kind of Flying Bear Village was annihilated by a servant of their Xiao family named Chu Yun with his own strength.

Even no one among the clan elders believed it.

When will the servants of the Xiao family be able to appear such a terrifying powerhouse?

If there really was such a terrifying potential, how could the Xiao family not know?

The Xiao family has indeed had a lot of problems over the years, but if it is because of this, they underestimate the Xiao family's investment in cultivating talents and the environment they maintain, it is a big mistake.

Even if I have read Jiang Sheng's information, the records in the information have not mentioned how strong Jiang Sheng is, and there are many other more important affairs, even if Jiang Sheng's strength can really reach the realm of cultivation, so what?

In the current situation, what can a mere practice dirty environment be counted? Even if Jiang Sheng may reach a higher level in the future, it is destined that far water will not quench his thirst, and it will naturally make no sense to pay attention to him again.

So in the eyes of the clan elders, there must be strong people behind this matter, and there are other reasons.

It is very likely that Xiao Qingfeng was lucky and picked up a leak.

But no matter what, Xiao Qingfeng has now become a typical example of the Xiao family standing up to resist, and his treatment must not be bad.

Although Xiao Mingyuan is a cultivator and a relative of the clan elder, the situation of the Xiao family is now extremely dangerous, and he can't afford to go through any more back doors.

Everyone arranged Xiao Mingyuan's practice realm under Xiao Qingfeng's hands, which can be regarded as a different kind of encouragement - as long as they can make a big enough contribution to the Xiao family, there is nothing that the Xiao family can't give, even if it is a higher status than a higher realm powerhouse, it will be at your fingertips at that time!

I don't know how much effect such incentives have played, anyway, for Xiao Qingfeng, such an arrangement did not make him feel a little happy, but made him despair.

Although it is good to practice dirty environment, it must also be a normal dirty environment.

When encountering Xiao Mingyuan's practice dirty realm that shrinks back as soon as he fights, it is simply eight lifetimes of blood mold.

In Xiao Qingfeng's eyes, instead of being able to increase their combat power, to a certain extent, he had a huge impact on the morale of the entire team.

If it weren't for him dragging his feet, Xiao Qingfeng would not have been tired to this extent, and he had the experience of narrowly revitalizing several times.

It's just useless to say anything.

Xiao Qingfeng led everyone, and Xiao Mingyuan followed indifferently behind him.

He just wants to live, he just wants to save his life, as long as he doesn't make a move, no one can kill him.

As long as he lives well to the end, the Xiao family will not fall, and he will still be the one who is on that person.

Let him go out and fight those murderous people at such a time, his brain is not bad to that extent!

The people marched hastily with their baggage, but they did not encounter any ambush on the way.

Although there was a lot of trouble between the three gangs and the Xiao family, the area of the battle was still well confined by them to the area they were fighting for.

They didn't dare to make the place of fighting too big, if they provoked the city lord in True Yang City, or other forces, and caused everyone to complain, it would not be a good thing for them after all.

After arriving at the Fenglin Mine, Xiao Qingfeng quickly handed over to the previous garrison defenders.

During the handover, the news he heard made his brow furrow quickly.

"In other words, we have to find a way to defend for a whole day before reinforcements can come?"

Xiao Qing was so angry that she wanted to scold her mother.

This Maple Forest Mine Cave is a mine outside Zhenyang City that is rich in iron ore, and the red iron produced in it is the best material for forging blood qi blades.

The weapons that can be made from red iron are definitely the best that ordinary people are not qualified to use.

It is only those strong people who are above the Dirty Realm, or even the Essence Realm, who are cultivating the Dirty Realm, will use this weapon against the enemy.

For the Xiao family, mastering this mine meant that they had mastered nearly fifty percent of the supply of the best weapons in True Yang City from the source.

Those powerhouses in the City Lord's Mansion must be friendly with the Xiao family in order to get the best materials to build blades for themselves.

It is really a very important resource point for the Xiao family.

Such a resource point, before that, at least three powerhouses who practiced the dirty realm needed to be stationed in order to deal with it.

And now, Xiao Qingfeng has only Xiao Mingyuan by his side.

And it's also a waste practice dirty environment.

Relying on them to keep the Maple Grove Mine for a whole day is a fool's dream!

"No! We can't do this kind of thing, even if we die, we will definitely not be able to keep it! They'll soon send men to attack here, and it's time for you to stay here, and there's nothing else you can do!" ”

Xiao Qingfeng's voice was fierce.

On the side, he was also handed over to the Xiao family and his elders.

Looking at Xiao Qingfeng's expression, the young man in the Xiao family sighed: "It's not that we want to go, it's really no way, do you think, is this place important, or is Linghua Valley more important?" ”

Xiao Qingfeng was silent.

After a while, he spoke, "Then you can't let us stay here, can you?" What's the use of keeping us here for a whole day? ”

The middle-aged man shook his head and sighed: "This must be the meaning of the clan elders above, they have all reached this time, and they still can't see things clearly." ”

"Do you really think that our Xiao family has enough strength to defend all these places?"

"If I want to keep a third of the territory from the beginning, or even less, and concentrate all the manpower, maybe then we can keep more."

"Like now, the Hundred Flowers Valley also wants the Maple Forest Mine, and in the end, these two places will all become treasures in the hands of others, what a damn thing!"

The middle-aged man scolded.

Xiao Qingfeng was also completely silent.

After all, they are all members of the Xiao family, what can the two of them say.

The middle-aged man could only pat Xiao Qingfeng on the shoulder and said, "Hold on, if you really can't hold on, you can leave, stay in the green mountains without worrying about no firewood, the clan needs young people like you after all." ”

After speaking, he slapped a few more times, although he didn't say anything more, but what he wanted to express was actually almost thorough.

Xiao Qingfeng stood in silence.

He watched as the people who had guarded this place before began to move in the direction of Linghua Valley, leaving only their group.

After a long time, he sighed sadly, then waved his hand, and said with a strong spirit: "The situation is not too bad for us, we only need to hold on for a day, and after a day, there will naturally be reinforcements to support. ”

After Xiao Qingfeng's order, everyone was busy.

Only Xiao Mingyuan stood aside, with a sneer on his face, and he couldn't tell what kind of emotion was hovering in his heart now.

Xiao Qingfeng didn't bother to pay attention to it, he began to sort out the armaments left by those people before.

Time passes.

Two hours later.

For example, today's color has begun to gradually darken, which is an out-and-out good thing for Xiao Qingfeng.

These people are not attacking cities, but they will not use tactics such as covert night attacks.

Besides, the strength of other forces is enough to crush the Xiao family, and they won't have to do that kind of troublesome thing.

As long as they can survive this night safely, it will naturally not be far from the reinforcements they are waiting for.

Xiao Qingfeng looked forward to the fact that his thoughts were not wrong.

However, at this time, the spies sent out earlier hurriedly returned.

"Someone is coming from outside the mine, I can't tell which family it is, the number of people is conservatively estimated to be more than three hundred!"

Xiao Qingfeng let out a "chuckle" in his heart, and then the whole person's heart sank.

There are only more than 100 people under his hands now, and there is only Xiao Mingyuan who is useless in practicing dirty realm.

As for the habits of True Yang City, among the 100-person team, there must be a strong man who has reached the realm of dirty cultivation to press the formation.

"The generals obey the order and follow me to meet the enemy!"

Xiao Qingfeng didn't think much about it, he definitely couldn't show the slightest weakness at this time.

I just want to be able to force back those incoming enemies with a tough attitude in the first wave.

What makes them have no way to guess what kind of strength they have under their hands.

After that, they were afraid in their hearts, and they didn't dare to continue to fight at night.

In this way, they can buy enough time to wait only one day for reinforcements to arrive, and this biggest crisis can naturally be eliminated.

Xiao Qingfeng glanced at Xiao Mingyuan, his face was as cold as frost: "I don't care what you think in your heart, now there are at least three cultivators outside, if you don't want to die, and you don't want to get rid of the Xiao family's backer, you'd better give me a good play of your strength in practicing dirty realm, just this one night, otherwise, then wait for death." ”

Xiao Mingyuan smiled and didn't talk.

Regarding the matter of Xiao Qingfeng standing on top of his head, he is now accustomed to it, and he doesn't think there will be anything unacceptable.

As for what Xiao Qingfeng said, he completely ignored it.

Anyway, it has already reached this level, and it is impossible to let him work for the Xiao family.

Even if you really start to work hard, you may not end up with anything good.

Instead of expecting that he can be accepted by those people in the Xiao family again and put in a higher position, it is better to save his life and wait for people in his line to ascend to a high position.

At that time, he, Xiao Mingyuan, would still be able to get enough power and status by virtue of the strength of the Dirty Realm.

As long as he lives, there will never be too many people talking about him behind his back.

As long as you live long enough, the impact of this event will be completely diluted.

Who didn't have a black material or two when they were younger?

Those who can pass on the black material are all dead long ago.

And those who are in high positions, even in later generations, how many people can dig out what they did in the first place?

History, after all, is written by those in power!

Xiao Mingyuan saw this kind of thing too clearly.

Therefore, he scoffed at Xiao Qingfeng's statement.

I only think that Xiao Qingfeng is a young man with enthusiasm, but he is just such a young man.

Following behind such young people, you must know how to protect yourself in order to achieve the ultimate goal.

If you follow him forward and rush to the death, if you don't know how to be flexible, sooner or later you will die and you can't die again.

The attack of three hundred people does not sound like a lot, though.

But it can't stand these three hundred people, all of them are martial artists above the copper skin realm.

If these warriors were to be unleashed with all their might, the destructive power would be beyond anyone's imagination.

In addition, Xiao Qingfeng is only guarding a mining area.

There were no strong fortifications outside the mining area, and the houses that were built were nothing more than wooden houses used to pile up ore and provide accommodation.

In the face of these warriors, there is no possibility of becoming a geographical advantage at all.

Naturally, the situation was critical from the start.

Reality will not give Xiao Qingfeng time to think.

Before tea time after he gave the order, the enemy was already rushing towards him in the dim sunset, with an extremely bloodthirsty attitude.

Xiao Qingfeng gave an order, and arrows rained down.

It's just that this time is different from the one that was in Xiongqi Valley.

Few people were eventually killed by the rain of arrows.

They only paid the price of some minor injuries, and they were already holding steel knives and rushing in front of Xiao Qingfeng.

The fierce battle began.

The Xiao family, who did not have the slightest advantage in both strength and quantity, was soon killed and retreated one after another.

Layers of defense are broken.

This is still based on the premise that Xiao Mingyuan has also made a move.

If he didn't make a move, the pressure Xiao Qingfeng faced would be much greater.

But even so, they couldn't deal with an enemy force that was three times their strength in such a relatively open area.

"Retreat to the mines!"

Xiao Qingfeng gritted his teeth and led everyone to retreat directly towards the Fenglin Mine.

Now he can only take advantage of the narrow terrain in the mine to delay the pace of the opponent's attack as much as possible.

Only in this way can you buy yourself enough time.

Xiao Mingyuan listened to the order, his eyes flickering.

He looked at the dark cavern behind him, thought about it for a moment, and finally gritted his teeth and threw himself in.

It was a place where there was no way out, and in the mines, there was only a fight to the death.

But unlike before, this time, he knew very well that in a day's time, reinforcements would arrive.
