Outside Ruiguang City, the long-bearded Taoist and the Monk in ancient clothes stood on top of an abandoned sentry post, staring at a mound somewhere outside the city.

The long-bearded Taoist said: "There has been no movement so far, can you still succeed in that chess piece?"

The monk said: "After moving outside the city, his aura is growing stronger and changing every day, and according to my observation and calculation, it will be almost a result tonight." ”

After a pause, he said again: "Even if it can't be done, it's just one more chaos monster, and with the current situation of the capital protectorate, that person needs to come forward to solve it." ”

Nagabeard said: "Then I'll wait and see." ”

After the two of them waited until the second half of the night, a black mist suddenly appeared above the mound, and a chaotic and obscure aura permeated the air, but it quickly converged again.

The long-bearded Taoist said: "I was subdued so quickly, but I was much stronger than that Ji Shouzhen." ”

The ancient costume monk said: "After all, there is a method provided by us, if he can't even suppress his own strength, then there is no need to expect him to deal with that person." ”

At this time, a disciple walked up and said a few words to the Changsu Daoist, who moved his expression and waved his hand to let the disciple go, and then said, "That person left Ruiguang City and went north. ”

The ancient costume monk frowned and said, "Did the people of the Restoration Society do it in advance?"

"No, we haven't delivered the news to them yet, and according to the agreement, they won't do it in advance, and the person should go out on his own. ”

The monk in ancient clothes thought for a moment and said, "Although it is a little sudden, it is good to do this, we will have to work harder, it will be too traceful." That's it, but do you still want to tell the Restoration Society?"

The long-bearded Taoist pondered for a moment and said: "Let's pass them on, they must also have eyeliner in the city, and they can receive the news if they don't pass it on, so let's tell them and show our goodwill, we are both consistent in the matter of killing this person." ”

The monk in ancient clothes thought for a while, and then he seemed to think of something, and said, "What about Xu Chengtong?

"He is in Ruiguang City, but if there is any communication between the two, this one is likely to rush to support, it is best to get something to distract him, or simply take this opportunity to get him out, otherwise I am afraid that something bad will happen at that time." ”

The monk in ancient clothes said: "Okay, I'll arrange this matter, it's really not possible, I'll go into battle in person." ”

The two of them were talking, and suddenly they both felt wrong, and they saw a young Taoist in a black robe walking out in the distance, it was Pang Li, who had been practicing underground during this time.

In their eyes. This person is a slightly immature and somewhat paranoid junior monk, but now his aura has changed drastically, and he looks very deep and dark.

It seems that the exercise not only improved his person's deeds, but also changed his temperament.

The monk nodded and said, "It's done, I'll go see him." As soon as he finished speaking, the man had fled and appeared in the countryside.

Pang Li sensed his arrival, looked him up and down, and said, "You are the master of my previous life?"

The monk in ancient clothes bowed his head and said, "It's me." ”

Pang Li sighed and said, "I don't see it." ”

The monk in ancient clothes was expressionless and said, "Oh, why?"

Pang Li's eyes flickered, and he said: "After cultivating your exercises, I have a sense of people's minds and even a keenness, when you see me, you don't even have half a distraction of mood changes, how can it be my teacher in my previous life?"

The ancient costume monk said indifferently: "You don't have to doubt it. After all, that is the person of the previous life, and in this life, you can't see half of my shadow, and you don't have the slightest friendship with me. ”

Pang Li looked at him for a while and said, "It's reasonable." ”

The monk said: "This is so, I will not go with you for revenge this time, this is your own business." ”

Pang Li smiled slyly and said, "No, I don't want to take revenge now." ”

The ancient costume monk frowned and said in a deep voice, "What did you say?"

Pang Li looked at the night sky, opened his hands, and said, "Compared with the Great Dao, what is it compared to the hatred of the Great Dao?"

Now that I know more about the mysteries, I find my previous thoughts really ridiculous, why should I live for another person, it is not worth it at all, only the supreme realm should be what I should chase. ”

He retracted his gaze with a hint of playfulness: "You taught me because I was a disciple of your previous life, so I came to understand the fate method, right? ”

The monk was silent for a moment before he said, "You may have felt it, right?"

Pang Li said: "What?"

The ancient costume monk said slowly: "Your secret method, now when you are chasing the Great Chaos, you also need to devour the essence blood of the cultivator in order to maintain yourself, the more beneficial it will be for you." ”

Pang Li's eyes became dangerous, and he said, "Oh, then it seems that I have more than one choice." ”

The monk in ancient clothes suddenly felt a warning sign, but he stood still and said calmly, "Don't you want to get the follow-up method?"

Pang Li squinted his eyes and said, "Follow-up method?"

The monk said, "You know in your heart how you should choose, and when the time comes, we will naturally give you the rest of the exercises." ”

Pang Li said in a cold voice: "What if I want it now?"

The costume monk looked at him with a blank expression.

Pang Li suddenly realized at this time, he glanced into the distance, and saw a long-bearded Taoist appearing there, and his golden-red eyes couldn't help but squint again.

At this time, the ancient costume monk took out a bottle of pill from his sleeve and threw it towards Pang Li, saying, "This is a secret pill, with the use of your exercises, you can better control your own strength." ”

Pang Li grabbed it, and with his induction, he could be sure that the pill in the bottle was indeed useful to him, and his eyes couldn't help but flicker for a while, obviously the other party still had a lot to tell him.

The monk in ancient costume said indifferently: "Okay, I have explained everything that should be explained, how to choose, you can consider it yourself." ”

Pang Li said at this time: "Speaking of which, Zunjia claims to be my teacher in my previous life, and I don't know the name of Zunjia yet?"

The monk said: "Needless to say, the front edge is gone, now we are just strangers, by the way, that person has now gone to the north, we infer that he should have gone to the depths of Ansan again, this is a good opportunity to do it."

There is a man in the city named Xu Chengtong, who is the right-hand man of that man's side, and you may be able to go to him before you set out. ”

After saying that, he turned around and flew away.

The long-bearded Taoist glanced at Pang Li, and also fled with him.

After returning to the courtyard of the mansion in the city, he said: "After your chess piece got close to the Great Chaos, his thoughts and thoughts are completely different from ordinary people, and I am afraid that he will not be able to suppress him with pills and exercises alone, if he is unwilling to deal with that person, then won't our plan fail?"

The monk in ancient costume said: "Don't worry, even if he doesn't want to, it's useless, because this is his obsession, he is precisely because of that person to find the Great Chaos, but one understands, then he himself can't pass this level, he himself understands, we just need to sit and watch the play." ”

As he spoke, his expression moved, as he found an obscure force entering Ruiguang City and heading in the direction of Xuanfu, he smiled, "It seems that he is moving faster than we thought." ”

At this moment, Xu Chengtong was sitting in a cave mansion on the top of Qishan outside the Xuanfu, with a book spread out in front of him, and he would turn two pages from time to time.

In the early years, when there was a conflict between the Xuanfu and the Duhu Mansion, there was a secret passage here, from which the people of the Xuanfu could go outside Ruiguang City at a critical moment.

However, now that the turbidity tide is gradually receding, many monks have been able to fly, and they can't Xuanfu also have their own flying boats, so this secret passage is not enough to rely on, and it has already been changed into a monk's hidden cultivation place.

It's just that very few monks come here now, they usually hide in clean and tidy secret rooms, and here it is damp and dark, and those who can come here to practice are real ascetics.

Xu Chengtong didn't care what the surrounding conditions were, and even he wished that the environment would be as difficult as possible, so that the more this was the case, the more he could show that he was loyal.

Whenever he has time these days, he has stepped up his practice. He clearly understood that he could serve in front of Zhang Yu, in addition to being able to get things done every time, the most important thing was that this body was better than many of his peers' meritorious deeds.

Without the means of cultivation, how can it be possible?

In order to closely follow Zhang Yu's steps, he has also been reading Taoist books attentively recently.

It's just that while he was reading the book, he suddenly felt something different in his heart, so he put away the Taoist book, walked out of the cave where he was practicing, and looked outside, only the empty passage on both sides and the sound of waterfalls coming from outside.

At this time, he felt a little wrong, and when he turned around to look, he saw that at some point, there was an extra person in the cave he walked out of.

This person was dressed in a black robe, his eyes were golden red, and the light in the cave was dim, but the presence of this person made Zhou even darker, and his whole body seemed to be blended into black.

Xu Chengtong looked at it and said, "Where did the respected driver come from?"

Pang Li smiled weirdly and said, "Come and take your life." ”

As soon as the words fell, a black gas surged outside, turning into countless tentacles sticking out from the inside, and they all grabbed Xu Chengtong and pulled it fiercely, tearing the terrified Xu Chengtong into pieces in an instant.

After Pang Li finished doing this, he was quite surprised.

He was indeed confident that he would take down Xu Chengtong, but he didn't think that things would be so simple, and then he found that after those severed limbs and remnants fell to the ground, they turned into patches of fine white sand.

He could be sure that Xu Chengtong was here just now, obviously when he walked out of the cave, he didn't know when he was actually replaced by this white sand.

He was about to walk out, but he only took two steps, but found that he had hit an invisible barrier.

His expression changed, as if he was looking around, "Formation?"

It turned out that this cave was already full of formations, but after Xu Chengtong went out, he was closed inside!

Even though he obtained the secret method and was able to cross two levels at once, the strength could be gained, but the experience could not be made up for at once.

Xu Chengtong didn't confront him head-on at all, but just played a small trick and trapped him.

He snorted, knowing that it would be bad for him to fight at this moment, and the black qi on his body dispersed, and the whole person turned into nothing in an instant.

On a mound outside Ruiguang City, a faint figure sat cross-legged, but as time passed, it gradually solidified, and Pang Li's figure emerged.

After replying, he stood up and looked in the direction of Qishan.

What was released just now was only a part of his power, and now he was waiting for most of the chaos monsters, but the lost part could be made up for by borrowing the Great Chaos.

It's just that the power of the Great Chaos fills too much at once, which will bring more confusion and uncontrollable power, which needs to be suppressed and tamed by him with secret methods and medicines.

He took out the bottle of pills that the ancient costume monk had just given him, poured out a few pills and swallowed them, and after a while, the irritable aura on his body gradually calmed down.

Then his body shook, and another figure condensed by black qi flew out.

The previous failure was not a difference in strength, but a loss in experience, but this time he was on guard in advance, but he would not fail again.
