II. Chapter 53—The Gathering
In the woods, by the pool.
The three men frowned slightly.
Jiang Ming's expression was slightly relaxed, and he said slowly: "Don't hide it from the three brothers, I am also a righteous person." The teacher has always told us righteous monks to take it as our responsibility to kill demons and eliminate demons when we go out. ”
The leader then raised his eyebrows and smiled, and arched his hand: "I see, the little brother is really chivalrous, in the wind in the lower Biyun Valley, and the two around him are my junior brothers." Hehe, we seem to have met when we were resting at a tea stall in the wilderness. ”
Jiang Ming seemed to think about it for a moment, and then nodded hesitantly: "Ah, there is an impression!"
Yu Feng smiled familiarly, and said: "My two junior brothers and I are here to hunt down and kill that monster, that monster has hurt countless people, and it is extremely cruel, little brother, you are one step ahead of us in this forest, I don't know if you know its traces, or see it go in that direction?" After speaking, he stared at Jiang Ming, as if he couldn't wait.
Jiang Ming pondered for a while, and then said, "I didn't see it specifically, but not long ago, there seemed to be a green figure running towards the south of the forest, I don't know if it's what you said......"
Before he could finish speaking, the three men suddenly jumped up and galloped towards the south of the woods, without saying a word.
Jiang Ming looked at the three distant figures, his eyes gradually became cold, he couldn't help but clench the Qianchen Immortal Sword in his hand, and he didn't notice that a trace of red light faintly flashed on it, seeping into his skin. He said in a low voice: "Miss Ling Yue, they killed you, if there is a chance in the future, I will definitely ....... for you."
When he said this, he seemed to have come back to his senses, and paused abruptly, and at the same time secretly wondered in his heart what was the matter with him, that he could say such a thing?
However, in order to prevent the only item left by Ling Yue from falling into the hands of those three people, he deliberately deceived them, I am afraid that he will go to the south and find nothing, and he will soon return the same way, doubting himself. Jiang Ming didn't have time to think about it, so he let out a sigh and hurried on the road.
The raven lay quietly on his shoulder, one man and one bird, and headed east, but his already complicated heart was a little more sour and heavy.
I don't know how long it took, the three cultivators returned to the small pond again, but their faces were not very good-looking.
"Senior brother, could that person lie to us, and we can't even see a ghost in the south?"
Yu Feng frowned, his eyes moved slightly, and he groaned: "Judging from that young man's demeanor and demeanor, it shouldn't be like it, if he really deceives us, what good can he do?"
The other hesitated: "Could it be that he recognized it as a merman, killed it, and then took the mermaid for himself?"
Yu Feng's face tightened, but after looking around, he relaxed again, and said: "That merman, the three of us can't easily subdue it together, even if it is injured, it is expected that that young man alone is not an opponent, not to mention that there is no trace of a fight in this vicinity." ”
"Could it be that the merman voluntarily gave him the mermaid?"
As soon as these words came out, Yu Feng glared at him and said, "Will you give your life to others?"
The man was silent, Yu Feng frowned, and looked at the small pond again, but found no traces, so he said in a low voice: "The merman is injured, and he will not run far, but he doesn't know where to hide, the three of us will look for it again, and we will definitely get the priceless treasure 'shark pearl'!"
With that, the three of them split into three paths and disappeared into the forest.
Jiang Ming walked for a night before he walked out of the mountains and forests and stepped on the official road, and the further he went, the surrounding area gradually became no longer deserted, and pedestrians in the town became more frequent. But he was like an arrow, and he didn't have time to stop, at most, he took out the remaining copper plates, bought tea and dry food, used it to replenish his strength, and then continued to hurry.
In this way, he slept in the open for two days, his body was also better, and it was no longer difficult to run the true qi in his body, so he took control of the fairy sword, took off into the air, and flew in the direction of Wutong City.
During this time, he stuffed the flightless raven into his arms, leaving only one head exposed. At high speed, the raven looked a little frightened at first, screaming and writhing with its claws.
Jiang Ming also felt a slight tingling in the skin on his chest from time to time, presumably because the material of his clothes was extremely rough, and he was scratched by the claws of the raven through the clothes. Fortunately, after a while, the ravens seemed to get used to it, no longer struggling and screaming, and meekly enjoying the long-lost high altitude.
At the same time, in a dense forest ten miles away from Wutong City, there were countless overlapping figures, almost occupying a large area of mountain forest.
Although these figures stood in an intricate manner, each hiding among the branches and leaves of the woods, on closer inspection, they were vaguely divided into three camps. At the moment, they were all silent, looking like they were waiting for battle.
And in front of these people, on an open and flat terrain, stood two men and a woman, looking in the direction of Wutong City.
One of them was old, gray-haired, and had only one arm, and he was the old man of the Netherworld. At this moment, there was a smile on his wrinkled face, and he said in a harmonious voice: "I can't imagine that the three major sects of our Holy Sect have joined forces again, and it has been three hundred years since the last battle of Xunyang Beach!"
"Hehe, yes, it is rumored that the battle was tragic and abnormal, my Holy Sect was defeated, and countless ancestors were killed and injured. Now, our Holy Sect is once again united, and we will definitely set foot in Wutong City, and we will be ashamed!"
The man who answered the call looked like he was in the prime of life, his eyebrows were like swords, he looked at the old man of the Netherworld at this moment, sighed slightly, and said, "It's a pity, among the ancestors of the year, only the Netherworld predecessor was able to witness this scene with his own eyes!"
The old man of the Netherworld had a flat face, and said with a smile: "Then I will have to rely on the snake spirit brother to exert his might, if this move can see the level of Wutong City, then I really have no regrets." ”
Snake Lingzi smiled and said in a harmonious voice: "This time, we are waiting for the Holy Sect, and I am honored by my predecessors to be the person in charge of this major event, so I must go all out." However, I will need the help of my seniors at that time!"
Although he smiled humbly, there was a faint look of pride in the depths of his face.
The woman standing on the other side looked at the two of them who were talking and laughing, and said with a smile: "Wutong City is the head of the righteous path, and the strength of the sect is unfathomable. Although the two Dao brothers are both big people who have seen the world, I, a weak woman, followed the two of them to do such a big thing, and I was still very frightened in my heart. ”
This woman is extremely feminine, but not tacky, her eyes are like waves, she seems to be able to hook people's hearts with a smile, and her dress is also extremely explicit, at this time she looked at the two of them and said with a smile: "I heard from the two Dao brothers before, our Holy Sect has joined a sect with similar strength to us in this feat. Hehe, if there are a lot of people, it would be good to give the little girl a strong courage, but why don't you see anyone now?"
As she spoke, she looked at her with infinite charm, stretched out her fingers like jade onions to brush a strand of hair behind her ears, and looked directly at the snake Lingzi.
Even though the snake spirit son cultivated to a high level, there was a moment of distraction under her charm, but she soon calmed down, looked slightly sideways, and said with a light smile: "Biyue Fairy, you mean the Blood Moon Sect, if you want to ask the Netherworld Seniors specifically about this matter." ”
This Biyue Fairy is the head of the Hehuan faction, although she is a woman, but the Hehuan faction can live in one of the three major factions of the Demon Sect for a long time, and it will definitely not be an ordinary person. Among them, the magic is magical, and there are also rumors, saying that the women in his faction specialize in the art of collecting yang and supplementing yin to improve their cultivation, so they also declare that they are in disarray, and most of them are linked to the word lewdness and debauchery, and together with the people who belong to the demon sect, they are also disdainful of it.
At this time, she and the snake spirit looked at the old man at the same time.
If this scene is seen and transmitted to the outside world, it will definitely cause an incomparably shocking shock. Because these three people are the Hehuan faction, the door masters of the Hallof All Saints and the Xuantian Temple, which one of them alone is a terrifying existence, and the most important thing is that they did not have any fights at this time, but gathered together with a harmonious spirit.
Under the leadership of the three sect masters, the countless figures in the forest behind them are obviously a large number of members of the Demon Sect, even if each sect has some private reservations, this formation is probably seven or eight points of the strength of the entire Demon Sect!
The old man of the Netherworld looked at the puzzled gazes of the two, his face was still peaceful, and even with a relaxed smile, he said lightly: "Don't worry, the two sect masters, he will definitely come!"
Seeing his language and demeanor, Fairy Biyue was slightly stunned, curious why he was so sure, but also slightly relieved, after all, such a big event, naturally the more people, the better. She smiled lightly and said softly, "Since the Netherworld seniors have said so, it will definitely not be wrong!"
Sure enough, everyone waited patiently for most of the day, and in the dense forest behind, there was a sudden sound of Taoist voices and leaves moving.
I saw that where the voice came from, a large number of Demon Sect disciples were lining up through the woods, walked to a clearing, and stopped.
The number of people in this batch is comparable to that of the other three batches.
The old man looked at the man in charge, smiled, and said, "Brother Jiang, I thought you weren't coming?"
This person is Jiang Pingsheng, at this moment, when he heard the change in the name of the old man of the Netherworld, his face was still indifferent, he walked over, and said with a smile: "Where did the predecessor say, this event is a shame for countless martyrs, it is really a glorious thing, and of course my Blood Moon Sect is not willing to be left behind." What's more, this time there are seniors you who preside over the overall situation......."
Before he finished speaking, the old man of the Netherworld had a straight expression, and hurriedly waved his hand, saying, "Eh, it is Brother Snake Lingzi who is in charge of the overall situation this time!"
Hearing this, Jiang Pingsheng frowned.
The Nether Old Man looked at him, smiled, and said in a harmonious voice, "I'm old, how can I compare to you young people. In this matter, I'm just using a little old face to match you. If it's about the main thing, of course, it's still Brother Snake Lingzi!"
