Volume 1 Chapter 1 The Woods
Jiang Guo, the largest country in the "world", at least in the current understanding of people. As early as a few decades ago, the Jiang country defeated various ethnic groups and tribes, and in today's territory, except for some extremely desolate places, Jiang Guo has shown a prosperous scene everywhere, after all, these decades of cultivation and recuperation are not in vain.
However, war is still peace, and it is no different for immortal cultivators, as long as it has nothing to do with them.
Xiangzhou is the largest state and county in the southwest of Jiang country, not that there are not many states and counties here, but the barren land in the southwest seems to be tall, but in fact it is a large basin centered on Xiangzhou, surrounded by many mountain ranges, endless. Most of these mountains are shrouded in clouds and mist, and wild beasts are often infested, and mortals dare not approach them. But how did they know that it was just some small prohibitions set up by the sect or the cave on the immortal mountain.
These immortal mountains with a little aura will be occupied by immortal cultivators or high-level immortal cultivators, and if they don't have the slightest aura, they will naturally become barren mountains. And Huangsha Mountain is one of them, this mountain is not high, the mountain is relatively flat, although there are some poplar planting, but on weekdays there is not even a mortal to see.
On this day, at a fork in the road at the foot of the mountain, a carriage stopped, unhurried.
In the carriage, the curtain was lifted by a calloused hand in the carriage, revealing a gloomy face, an old man. Although he is old, his complexion is more than a little better than ordinary people, but if you look closely, you will find that the poisonous color on the old man's face cannot be hidden.
"Old Yuan, do you have any orders?" The person sitting in the front of the car who spoke, obviously this person should be a coachman, but his clothes are not like those that the coachman should be able to wear, not to mention graceful and luxurious, but it is by no means like ordinary people.
"I'll just get off here, you don't have to send it anymore, go back to Xiangzhou along the trail, that's where you should stay, they don't dare to mess around." The white-haired old man in the carriage said this, and at some point appeared outside the carriage.
The "coachman" was not surprised by the ghostly figure of the old man, but got out of the car with a little trembling, and asked, "Old Yuan, is it possible that the chasing soldiers have arrived so soon?"
"Naturally, it is impossible for the pursuers to arrive so quickly, but their 'helpers' are here, and it is not easy to deal with!" said the white-haired old man, looking at the horizon.
"Can't even you deal with Old Yuan?" The "coachman" looked disbelieving, in his eyes, what kind of existence the old man was, he was invincible, how terrifying was that person?
"If someone else arrives, forget it, but this person is not easy to deal with, his cultivation is a step above me, and his skills are also unfathomable. The old man sighed, and offered several bags, one of which flew out of countless flying insects, and these flying insects buzzed around him when they saw the old man. In the other bags, many small snakes, poisonous scorpions and other kinds of insects and beasts flew out, and they all looked extremely poisonous. When these insects and beasts saw the old man, they all showed the same movements as the flying insects before, and it was obvious that the old man was extremely important to them.
"Senpai-"
The "coachman" was still saying something, but was interrupted by the old man waving his hand: "Go back to Xiangzhou, if the old man falls here, the elders and disciples in my sect will use the method I taught you to contact you, go back!"
At this time, as if they had received some order, these flying insects and strange beasts fled towards a poplar forest in the oblique.
Seeing this, the "coachman" also understood that the old man had used real means, so he didn't say much, but choked up and said, "Old Yuan, take care!" and got into the carriage and drove away.
"Take care of ......," the old man surnamed Yuan muttered, and slowly walked towards the woods.
At this time, it was close to the beginning of autumn, and the cool breeze blew, which seemed a little sad......
The old man surnamed Yuan fled to the middle of the forest, slowly fell to the ground, and stood there motionless. After about a stick of incense, a distant light in the sky struck, and a figure fell on the ground ten feet away from the old man. The person who came was a young man, about 30 years old, according to age, the old man can be called his predecessor, but this person has an extraordinary temperament, a deep skill, and a young talent.
"Did Yuan Daoyou find out about me a long time ago? To be honest, the last person I want to fight is you. It was the young man who spoke, his expression was flat, and suddenly the surroundings were murderous. If it is a low-level cultivator, I am afraid that without having to do anything, I will be overwhelmed by this murderous aura.
"Mu Quan, as the Great Elder of Qiongming Mountain, you can't stay well, why do you want to come to this troubled water! How much benefit did Old Thief Fan give you?" the old man squinted and asked.
The young man just said calmly, "Qianyuanyin!"
When Yuan Xi heard this, he immediately understood: "I see, he actually has this thing, no wonder, no wonder." ”
As soon as the words fell, all kinds of poisonous insects quietly appeared on the trees, ready to attack.
Mu Quan's expression moved, he sighed, and a red long sword suddenly appeared from his body, and the wind in the forest was loud, blowing through the sword body, but it suddenly fell silent.
At this time, a blood-colored miasma suddenly appeared on the old man's body, and he said: "Mu Daoyou, I advise you not to move! If you are a bystander, you can die under this legendary Yuangang sword, and it will not be in vain to live this life." But Your Excellency must have heard of the prestige of the 'Heaven Devouring Poisonous Miasma'! If you talk about the worldly exercises, I have not seen anything that can not be devoured by this thing, and with this thing, I can at least be invincible! If I try my best, I will lose both. Therefore, if the shepherd can escape far away, I can act as if today's events did not happen!"
Yuan Xi's words were extremely cold, and they sounded intolerant of the slightest discussion. He was unwilling to fight with Mu Quan to lose both, and there were many variables in the battle. Judging from the current situation, he thinks that the battle between the two is four or six, at least he has the upper hand in the Sky Devouring Poison Miasma.
Mu Quan also paused when he heard the words "Heaven Devouring Poisonous Miasma".
"I'm sorry," Mu Quan thought for a moment, then decided, "You must stay here today! You are really old and confused, since I am here, how can I return empty-handed." As for this anti-heaven exercise, it will disappear from the world from now on!" With that, he pulled out his sword, and the Yuan Gang sword revealed its true face. The sword body is cold, the whole body is long, and the weight is moderate, but the prestige of this sword in the cultivation realm is the most terrifying, and it is rumored that even the body of the Heavenly Void Realm can be cut off.
"In that case, then let me see the prestige of the Yuan Gang Sword!" Yuan Xi shouted, casually popping out more than a dozen cold rays, and at the same time pinched a magic seal with both hands, and one or twenty small snakes rushed towards him quickly, and there was also a ball of flying insects suspended in the air, but he didn't move, as if he was observing, waiting for the opportunity.
In this way, Mu Quan stood still, caught between the flying needles and the poisonous snakes......
Meng Yuanping was a deacon disciple of Wanyi Sect, and on this day, he took these dozen disciples to Xiangyang's Fang City to buy some items needed in the sect. More than a dozen people were flying unhurriedly at a low altitude, and suddenly a deafening roar sounded, and these dozen people were all dizzy, and they all urged to mobilize spiritual power to protect their bodies, and after a while, these more than ten people finally got a little better, but their faces were extremely pale, and then a wisp of black smoke came out of the barren mountain.
"Senior Brother Meng, what's going on under the barren mountain over there, why is there such a big movement?" a little disciple couldn't help but ask.
"With such a big movement, I guess it's not a sect that is performing some secret technique, or that there are masters fighting the law. But either way, it's not something we can afford to offend, so let's get around. Meng Yuanping thought for a moment and said.
"Wait, brother, I think we should go and have a look. Another quick-witted kid said.
"Oh, what do you say?" asked Meng Yuanping with some puzzlement.
"Senior brother, do you think that if there is someone or sect who performs secret arts, how can they be there? And at least there should be some prohibitions to prevent others from interfering, but we are not too far from this barren mountain, and we are not subject to any prohibitions at all, it seems that it should be a master casting spells, and it should have just ended. The little ghost said.
"Well, you have some truth in that, but whoever is over there is not something we can reach. In this way, we will stay down for an hour, and we will check again when the master has left, but be careful. Meng Yuanping didn't dare to go immediately, for fear of provoking someone high, so he could only say so.
"Yes. The rest of the people said in unison.
......
An hour later, more than a dozen figures floated in the air.
"Senior Brother Meng, we've been waiting for an hour, and we haven't seen any escape, is that master still there?"
When Meng Yuanping heard this, he shook his head: "The master has already left, so I quietly asked a few fire moths to check around there, and there is no one left." I guess it was because the master had some special escape technique or some kind of concealment method, or maybe the cultivation gap was too big for us to find out. It's okay, let's go check it out!"
"Yes. "Yes. ”
......
"This ...... This is ......" Seeing this scene, Meng Yuanping and others couldn't help but be stunned, most of the surfaces of these barren mountains were pitted, and more than forty percent of them were probably destroyed. Gravel powder was everywhere, several forests had been burned to the ground, the corpses of flying insects and beasts were only ashes, and the most disgusting thing was the big snake in the middle of the forest.
The snake was just a snake corpse, but this "snake corpse" was not complete, but fragments with blood everywhere. Ten zhang away from the big snake, three dark black snake heads fell.
Most importantly, one of the snake's heads was cut open by a sharp weapon, and there was a headless corpse dressed in black inside the skull!
