Chapter 3 Joining forces
On a high mountain far, far away, two thin figures were secretly peeking at all this.
They had been standing there since Yu Ziqing stepped into the inn.
"I can't imagine that Yu Ziqing has already broken through to a half-step Taihe Immortal, and with the Dugu Sword in his hand, presumably even Mu Yunfei at the beginning can only have a tie with him!" The man in black sighed, the person next to him was wearing a gray-black Taoist robe of the Tianshan Sect with a gray hat, and he looked like he was already a certain age.
"That's why I didn't go out in person, but sent Gu Jiu to test it, I didn't expect that the power of this Dugu Sword was really so huge. The man in gray stood with his hands in his hands, he didn't seem to care about Gu Jiu's safety at all.
Yes, what is the so-called big disciple, he is just cannon fodder, maybe even Gu Jiu himself didn't think that even if Yu Ziqing killed himself just now, this gray-clothed man must not even frown.
"Have you broken through?" the man in black looked at Yu Ziqing, who was standing still with his back to them, and suddenly asked.
The man in white was silent for a long time, "I can't imagine that there is still a world of difference between a half-step Taihe Immortal and a Taihe Immortal, I have exhausted my energy and spent three years of hard work, but I still haven't been able to find that opportunity!"
"So you can't beat him?" asked the man in black again.
The man in white was still silent, as if he was thinking about the weight of the sword that Yu Ziqing had swung just now.
That speechless sword instantly killed Ye Liuyi and Lei Yin in an instant.
"Alas, I can't beat it. After a long time, he replied with a long sigh.
"Looks like the plan has to be postponed for a while. The man in black chuckled.
"I didn't expect you to be willing to deign to join forces with me for the sake of a palace jade, there must be something on him that you have coveted for a long time, right?" The man in black turned his head to look at the man in white beside him, "Anyway, you are also the current acting head of the Tianshan faction! ”
When the man in white heard this, his expression suddenly became grim, the gaze in his eyes became stern, and the true qi around his body couldn't help but leak out, stirring up dust all over the place.
"What do you know?"
"Hahaha, don't be in a hurry to leak your true qi and be discovered by Yu Ziqing. ”
"Legend has it that the Tianshan Sect has a strict distinction between status and mental method, but it is not difficult to obtain it. And among them, there is a mental formula called Tianqing Jue, which has always been passed only on to the head and never to the outside. The man in black looked at Yu Ziqing, who stood with his sword in his hand, looking at the ruins around him, although his face was covered with a black veil, he could still hear a trace of arrogance in his tone.
He already held the handle of the man in white in his hand.
"How do you know, this matter should only be known to the head and elders. The man in white was shocked in his heart, he didn't expect the man in black to know so many things.
"My demon clan has existed for tens of thousands of years, and naturally has a lot of origins with your Tianshan faction, if it weren't for the fact that the old man of Tianshan of your Tianshan faction got the Dugu Sword and defeated my demon clan thousands of years ago, how would my demon clan be reduced to this now?" The man in black suppressed his laughter, his voice was low, cold and thick, hoarse like a beast.
"Hmph, you also know that your demon race is in decline now, and I'm just cooperating with you. Wait until you kill Yu Ziqing, you take your Dugu sword, I want my mental formula, and then it is irrelevant to shoot and scatter. If you demon clan want to make any more waves, don't blame me for being ruthless!" The man in white snorted coldly, and he didn't hide it at this time. The Tianqing Recipe of the Tianshan Sect was a mental formula that only the head of the sect could inherit, how could he not covet it? If there was no Tianqing Formula, even if the disciples did not know it, those elders would not be convinced secretly if they did not say it on the surface.
"Okay, then let's have a good time working together. The man in black replied hoarsely.
"Don't cooperate happily, how long will it take you to get the Dugu Sword? Legend has it that the Dugu Sword is the one who recognizes the Lord. The man in white didn't pretend to be profound, he saw that his identity had been exposed, so he simply took off the hat he was carrying and ran to the side.
Yes, he is Mu Yunfei's junior brother, and he is also the current acting head of the Tianshan faction, Mu Yunqi. He had a broad face, mediocre features, a gray goatee, and looked to be in his 50s. In fact, he has lived for a hundred years, but he ascended too late, and his face stopped too late.
And that Mu Yunfei, he was only 23 years old when he ascended, so he was still less than 30 years old after living for hundreds of years. When he and Mu Yunqi were together, others thought that Mu Yunqi was the senior brother, which was also the reason why Mu Yunqi was unhappy in his heart.
Mu Yunqi was suppressed by Mu Yunfei for a hundred years, and he was naturally angry in his heart, and finally waited until Mu Yunfei was killed by Yu Ziqing, and he saw that he could replace Mu Yunfei's position, but he was hindered by the mental formula, I am afraid that anyone will be in a hurry.
"Naturally, I have my own arrangements and everything is going on as usual. The man in black lowered his voice, "You don't know that Dugu Jian does recognize the master, but there is also a period of backlash, and when it recognizes the lord again, it is also the best time to seize it." ”
Mu Yunqi was ignorant when he heard it, but he had already thought about it, when he killed Yu Ziqing and won the Tianqing Jue, he would destroy the demon patriarch in front of him by the way, and take the Dugu Sword over.
In this way, he can not only become the head of the house, but also become a hero in people's hearts, gaining fame and fortune.
What cooperation is in front of interests, all roll aside!
Just thinking about it, the corners of Mu Yunqi's mouth showed an imperceptible sinister smile.
The man in black naturally knew what Mu Yunqi was thinking in his heart, and he didn't have his own thoughts in his heart, but he didn't show anything, and he repeatedly backed down in the face of Mu Yunqi's arrogance, making him relax his vigilance.
"Alright, it's no good to stay longer, let's go first!" said the man in black, his figure dissipating into a cloud of black smoke.
"The remnants of the demon clan dare to be so rampant. Mu Yunqi snorted fiercely at the dissipated black smoke.
In the next second, he rose into the air and sped away in the direction of the Kunlun Realm, but his figure disappeared in just a few seconds.
And just now the scene where they thought they were talking in secret on the high mountain hundreds of miles away was all seen by Yu Ziqing.
Although they suppressed the true qi on their bodies, the current Yu Ziqing had broken through to the Taihe Immortals, and although he couldn't hear their voices, he could naturally detect the existence of immortal cultivators who were weaker than him.
"Finally left?" A wry smile appeared at the corner of Yu Ziqing's mouth, in fact, if there is a person who has really stepped into Taihe Immortal here, he can see at a glance that the true qi in Yu Ziqing's body is surging, and it seems that he is about to burst out of his body in the next second.
And he couldn't suppress it at all, the power that didn't belong to him.
Yu Zidian knelt on the ground, and he held on to the hilt of Dugu Sword to make sure he didn't fall.
It's good that he has already entered the Xuan Immortal, but that is far from enough. He just used the Dugu Sword to forcibly break through his strength to a half-step Taihe Immortal, and he couldn't swing the sword a second time just now.
But this was enough, he had already deterred Mu Yunqi, and he let Gu Jiu go back just so that he could publicize today's incident.
In this way, for the time being, no immortal cultivator in the whole world will dare to encircle and suppress Yu Ziqing again, which is why Yu Ziqing took the initiative to send the sheep into the tiger's mouth today.
Now he finally doesn't have to hold on anymore.
Suddenly there was a sound of footsteps in the ruins, and it hurried and slowed down, as if it was looking for something.
Yu Ziqing's heart was shocked, could there still be a fish that slipped through the net? Could it be that there were still people who survived under the sword just now?
But Yu Ziqing couldn't feel his true qi, even if Yu Ziqing had returned to his original strength now.
With the strength of his Xuan Immortal, he still can't feel it, if it weren't for the treasure with suppressive strength, then!
In other words, the person who came must have surpassed Xuan Xian, and it was a half-step Taihe Immortal! Yu Ziqing's heart suddenly lifted.
It seems that there are still people who are not afraid of death and want to try their depth.
A wry smile slowly twisted into the corners of his mouth, and he looked at the black broken sword he held in his hand.
"Master, the apprentice still miscalculated, I originally said that I would take you back to the mountains and forests after this time. The look in Yu Ziqing's eyes fell lonely, and there was a faint unwillingness in it.
"But don't worry, I remember your teachings that you must not do anything that you regret. So I'm not going to regret the decision I made, even if I die here today. ”
"Come on!" he stood up as hard as ever, as if he were back at his peak. However, he knew that at this moment, he was very likely to be no match for a loose cultivator who was also a Xuan Immortal.
That footstep that was not light or heavy was finally approaching in front of him, and Yu Ziqing narrowed his eyes and stared closely at the broken half of the boulder.
A thin figure emerged from behind the rubble of the rubble, wearing a tattered gray-white shirt, pants that had broken to the knees, revealing the slender arms and calves inside, and her delicate white skin was flushed at the moment.
"Daddy, Daddy. "It was just a kid who looked like he was 5 or 6 years old, and his voice was as clear as a silver bell.
No wonder Yu Ziqing didn't feel a trace of true qi just now, it was because this kid was not an immortal cultivator at all.
Thanks to Yu Ziqing, he was ready to fight to the death, and at this moment his hand holding the sword was frozen in the air and looked a little embarrassed.
The little girl looked at the corpses on the ground, she seemed to be numb, and the tears in the corners of her eyes had already dried up.
"What's your name?" Yu Ziqing wrapped his sword in cloth again, and he slowly stepped forward and bent down to ask the little girl in front of him softly.
Her face was still stained with soot, she had two small pigtails, and her lips were a little chapped but still red, and she looked particularly cute. She should have come out of the back kitchen, and fortunately she was in the back kitchen, Yu Ziqing's sword failed to hurt her.
"My father is the innkeeper, and my name is Luo Qingshui. The little girl trembled and lowered her head, she seemed to be afraid of Yu Ziqing in front of her.
After all, Yu Ziqing had just killed her father by mistake.
Under his sword, there were no survivors except Gu Jiu, and her father was no exception.
"Daddy, Daddy!" the little girl with her head hanging suddenly ran, and she saw her father's corpse in her spare eye, so she ran through the ruins. Her small body fell and stood up, stood up and fell again, Yu Ziqing couldn't bear to hurry up.
Luo Qingshui saw her father's corpse, which was lying next to the cash cabinet, but fortunately, it was killed with a knife and was not destroyed by the sword qi.
Luo Qingshui saw that his father was dead, and lay helplessly on his corpse and wept bitterly.
This scene made Yu Ziqing suddenly recall a scene many years ago. It was a little boy, and he was as helpless as he is now.
