Chapter 502: Calculation
The small city where Xu Wanqing encountered Ren Xian and Shui Lanlan was actually not very far from Yunzhou, and even the ears and eyes of many cultivation forces were enough to reach here.
Under normal circumstances, no one would be interested in this nameless town, but the news that a city had been frozen overnight spread quickly among the nearby monks.
And along with the spread of this news, there were some gossip rumors that I don't know who spread it, such as the reason why the city was frozen was because an ice attribute treasure was born, which was why there was such a big battle.
At first, not many people believed these rumors, especially those with unusual status, and few of them ran out in person because of a baseless word.
However, as time passed, many people discovered after a few days that this rumor did not seem to be just a rumor.
In a valley not far away, a middle-aged man bowed down and reported: "Sect Master, there is news from a disciple that the source of cold qi is indeed moving rapidly, leaving traces of cold qi erosion along the way. ”
In front of the middle-aged man was an old man standing with his hands in his hands, that is, the sect master in his mouth.
Hearing his words, the old man couldn't help but open his eyes suddenly: "Is it really an ice treasure?"
"Not necessarily. The middle-aged man smiled bitterly, "The source of the cold qi is moving too fast, and those disciples in the foundation building period can't catch up at all, and no one knows what it is." It could be an ice spirit beast, or it could be that the treasure has fallen into the hands of someone else......"
The old man couldn't help but be silent, if the latter was the case, he would need to think carefully.
Although in this area on the border of Zhongzhou, their Panshan Sect is considered to be the top sect, but if they are placed a little bit in the interior of Zhongzhou, they only have a few Jindan monks, and it is nothing at all.
Zhongzhou is different from the south, there are not as many Jindan monks here as as a cow's hair, and they are by no means as rare as the southern cultivation world.
First, Zhongzhou is indeed outstanding, and the cultivation environment is much better than that of the Quartet; secondly, it is precisely because Zhongzhou is rich in resources that it can attract Jindan monks from all over it, and many of them have taken root in Zhongzhou, and the overall strength is naturally much stronger.
As the sect master of the Panshan Sect, the old man naturally couldn't act without scruples, he had to worry about whether he would provoke people who shouldn't be provoked, and then incur the end of the death of the sect.
Taking such a risk for a treasure that I don't know if I can get my hands on, and I don't know if it's useful after I get it, let alone whether it can be kept, is really something that needs to be weighed repeatedly.
The middle-aged man saw that the sect master was silent, and he also understood the other party's hesitation at this time, so he stood there quietly, waiting for the sect master to make a decision.
After a long time, the old man finally sighed: "If you retreat from everything, you will only achieve nothing in the end, and you still have to fight after all......
A similar scene also occurred among the large and small cultivation forces around them, and although the vast majority of people were still wary of the so-called "strange treasures" that suddenly appeared, they did not even have the courage to tempt.
However, few of these forces that were pressed on the border of Zhongzhou dared to test the Jindan monks, and under the Jindan, few people could catch up with Chu He's speed. So Chu He stopped and walked until two days after leaving the dense forest, when he really came to Zhongzhou, no one could intercept him.
The area where Chu He is now located is a prairie that cannot be seen no matter how far you can't see, and you can already see the traces of many monks nearby - Zhongzhou is a paradise for monks, where monks and mortals are mixed, just like the realm of immortals in ancient times.
After deciding to rush to the Yaochi Heavenly Kingdom as much as possible, Chu He chose to take Xu Wanqing on the road in person, and the speed of the carriage could not be compared with the foot strength of Jindan Zhenren.
It's just that manpower is sometimes poor, and Chu He still has to keep most of the True Yuan to deal with enemies that may appear at any time, so he can't go all out, so he can only stop and rest after walking for a while.
According to this progress, it would take Chu He about three or four days to reach the Yaochi Heavenly Kingdom, which was of course much faster than the carriage.
Chu He wrapped the stiff and cold Xu Wanqing in a ball, and then tied a rope behind him, as if he was carrying a big sleeping bag.
There is no way to do this, the Stygian Water Sword was tightly held in Xu Wanqing's hand, and Chu He did not find a way to forcibly break it. Because it is impossible for a divine soldier of this level to be included in the Sumeru bag, it is better to let Xu Wanqing hold it.
After another period of rushing, Chu He took the initiative to slow down. It's not that he's tired, it's that he's noticed a guest coming.
"Now that you're here, you might as well show up. Chu He stopped, but he didn't mean to put down the "sleeping bag", and said directly to the front.
The person who came did not deliberately hide his breath, perhaps because he didn't want to be found out and had no room to spare, and at this time, he quickly appeared according to his words. There were a total of six Jindan monks in this group, and the leader was an old man.
"The old decayed Panshan Sect Shi Tianqi has seen Taoist friends. The old man snorted at Chu He, smiling at each other.
Chu He didn't have any expression on his face, and said indifferently: "How many people have something?"
Shi Tianqi glanced at a few people around him, and he still spoke: "The day before yesterday, there was news from the Immortal Gate in Neizhou that the Supreme Treasure Ice Spirit Bead was accidentally lost...... Hehe, it's not that I suspect Daoyou, but I always have to give an explanation to the above. ”
Chu He couldn't help but be happy, this old man had bad water in his heart, but the words on his lips were very interesting.
First of all, put all the responsibility on an unwarranted "top", and by the way, use the "Neizhou Xianmen" to threaten Chu He - Zhongzhou is very large, so large that a state tops most of the area in the south, and Neizhou is the name of the outer sect of Zhongzhou.
In fact, the six people in front of him were all so weak that Chu He didn't even need to use the Heart Demon Sword, he could take them down with just the True Yuan Condensing Sword, just like when he dealt with the Zhao Tianshi of the Xu family.
However, this Shi Tianqi's words made him feel amused, and Chu He didn't immediately hurt the killer, and arched his hand with a smile: "The treasure I got is a sword, not an ice spirit bead, and the sect master replied like this." ”
Shi Tianqi pondered for a while, as if considering the pros and cons, and finally said with a wry smile: "It's definitely not that the old man can't believe in Daoyou, it's just ...... As long as the Taoist friend is willing to take out the sword and let me wait for a look, the old man will turn around and leave, and there is no other word. ”
Having said this, Chu He finally understood the plan of the group of people in front of him.
What Ice Spirit Bead is naturally nonsense, they originally made up their minds to see what they were getting, and then weigh whether to make a move.
If you feel that it is too difficult to make a move, then choose to retreat, which is exactly in line with the previous words, anyway, it is not said which immortal gate lost something, there is no way to verify......;
