Li Miao knew that he was unhappy with the tone of what he had just said, but he didn't want to explain anything, just said, "You'll know when the time comes." ”

"Okay, then I'll see. Xie Shuangjian smiled.

Then he said: "We still have to go to our own Fang City to do some things, so we won't bother Brother Li." Say goodbye today, and see you at Huangting Academy another day. "Take Zhu Zifeng and Zhu Ke and leave.

Seeing Xie Shuangjian leave, Li Miao smiled at the corner of his eyes.

It can be seen that this person has a strong fighting spirit towards him, and it is only because he can't find a reason that he doesn't ask for a fight.

After he enters the inner courtyard of the Yellow Court, I am afraid that he does not need to take the initiative to find Chixia'er, Xie Shuangjian and the other top-ranked people in the inner courtyard will come to fight him one by one.

"The young talents of a county should not disappoint me. ”

Li Miao muttered to himself and took Xiaoyun to the northwest.

......

Unbeknownst to him, while he was talking to Xie Shuangblade, a figure was lurking and peeping in the shadows under the ancient pine tree on the street corner.

When they were all gone, the figure quietly stepped out of the shadows.

"The people of the Phantom Sword Pavilion have already left, and they can do it. ”

Pangshan City is very large, and Huangting Academy is a bit far away.

Li Miao was not in a hurry, and walked in the northwest direction while wandering along the winding and complicated streets.

The neighborhoods of this mountain town are complex, with almost none of the streets straight, each of which undulates with the movement of the mountain. Sometimes you turn a corner and you're at a dead end. There are also times when there is no road ahead, but after squeezing through an alley, it suddenly opens up.

This city is already like a labyrinth on the surface alone, and the multiple cities underneath are even more complicated.

The first city within 10,000 miles, worthy of its name.

Li Miao took a look and passed through many markets along the way. The names of these markets are different, and in addition to "Jianyi", there are also such as "Zhugui", "Fengding", "Shayi" and so on.

According to the residents I met on the way, these markets with the tengan in their names were just small markets.

In the north and middle of Pangshan City, as well as under the belly city, there are several large markets, with more magnificent names, such as "Xiaoyaofang" and "Lingshi Street" in the north city, "Sword Seeking Fang" and "Qianjin Lane" in the second belly city.

The market usually sells cheap goods, mainly ordinary people's daily necessities. Even if there are magic weapons and spiritual materials and other things for sale, there are very few that exceed the medium grade, and the consumption is usually not higher than 100 spirit stones.

And Dafang City is different, the things sold in Dafang City are all things that can only be used by immortal cultivators, magic weapons, pills, materials, jade slips, secret puppets, and so on.

It is said that in the "Spirit Stone Street", there are several shops that often sell spirit treasure-level magic weapons and divine weapons, and every time someone throws ten thousand spirit stones to buy, shocking many people.

Li Miao went shopping for a long time, in addition to buying a jade pendant for Xiaoyun, he also bought some changes of clothes, dry food and other sundries by the way, and spent a little silver taels.

As I walked, I suddenly lost my way ahead and turned into a dead end.

He turned back, intending to go the other way. found that Xiaoyun was frozen in place, with his head down, not knowing what he was thinking.

"Xiaoyun, what's wrong with you?" asked Li Miao.

"Nothing...... It just felt as if someone was following us. Xiaoyun replied, his tone not very sure.

Li Miao's heart moved when he heard this.

Xiao Yun is a big demon in the middle of the Guiyuan Realm, and his perception is much sharper than him, since she said so, there is a chance that someone is really following them.

"This Ghost Shadow Sect is coming very quickly. ”

He thought for a moment and said to Xiao Yun, "You leave this alley and wait for me at the grocery store we just passed by, I will meet the killer of the Ghost Shadow Sect." ”

This little banshee has no combat power at all, and it can't help if she follows her, so it's better to let her go cool, so as to save a while of fighting and get in the way.

Xiaoyun nodded obediently and said, "Okay, then I'll go to the back and wait, master, you have to be careful, don't die." ”

As he spoke, he turned around and ran out of the alley.

Li Miao pursed her lips, feeling a little helpless at her last sentence.

This little banshee really doesn't know how to behave in the world at all, even if she is afraid that something will happen to him, it will cause her life and soul to dissipate, so she should put it mildly. It's embarrassing to say it so bluntly.

"If you have the opportunity, you have to find a time to teach her to speak, otherwise I will be so 'reminded' in front of the public in the future, where can I put my old face ......"

With a sneer in his heart, he walked into the deepest part of the dead end, waiting for the killer of the Ghost Shadow Sect to appear on his own.

This alley is not very deep, only thirty or fifty paces.

There are only a few houses on both sides of the alley, and it is very quiet, and it is a good place to ambush.

Li Miao waited with his back against the wall for a while, but the breath of a killer never appeared.

Just when he thought that the other party had noticed that he had been discovered and took the initiative to give up, a figure suddenly appeared in the alley.

The figure appeared without warning, the place was empty one moment, and the next moment there was already a man in black standing there.

"How did you find me?"

The man in black covered his face, only a pair of eyes were exposed, his figure was quite tall, and his voice sounded like that of a middle-aged man.

Li Miao's eyes were slightly condensed, and he glanced at the other party twice, but he didn't feel the aura emanating from the other party, and he couldn't judge the strength of his cultivation, and he couldn't help but be a little surprised in his heart.

He didn't answer the question of the man in black, but asked, "He Xianyuan and Yan Ruofei, how much did these two sell my news?"

The man in black sneered and said, "People who are about to die, there is no need to know too much. ”

Just say it, do it now!

With a bang, the man in black turned into a puff of mist and dissipated in place.

The next moment, the black mist in front of Li Miao condensed.

"What a speed!"

Li Miao's heart tightened, and a strong sense of crisis emerged from the bottom of his heart.

The black mist turned into a huge fist and bombarded him, and he couldn't dodge in the alley, so he could only put his arms together and protect his chest.

Laugh at~

Unexpectedly, the fist formed by the black qi did not exert much force, but directly drilled into his body the moment it touched his body!

A cold chill came from his arms, and after the black qi entered his body, he immediately drilled frantically along the meridians in the direction of his heart.

Li Miao didn't dare to be careless, urged the genetic energy, and rose up to stop it.

Fortunately, although the black qi was weird and had an astonishing chill that almost froze qi and blood, its nature was relatively fragile, and it could not be supported for long in the face of the powerful genetic instinct, and it was dispelled.

Li Miao secretly breathed a sigh of relief.

This black-clothed man's attack method is very strange, and he can silently invade his body and hurt the enemy from the inside of his body.

Fortunately, he cultivated the genetic origin, and if he changed to an ordinary immortal cultivator with the same cultivation, I am afraid that he would have to suffer a lot of injuries this time.

The man in black was very confident, and after a blow, he reunited his body in the distance, and waited with his arms in his arms to watch Li Miao be tortured to death by his "Heart Erosion Curse".

However, the screams he imagined did not appear.

Li Miao's breath was steady, his face sank, and he rushed towards him.

The distance between the two is only three zhang, and for a monk in this realm, there is almost no difference from one step, and after exerting force, a dodge will come to him.

"You can take my punch too. Li Miao said coldly.

The alley was narrow, and he couldn't dodge when he was attacked just now, and now he changed to the man in black, and the situation was the same.

Boom!

A powerful punch hit the man in black head-on without reservation, and his reaction was almost the same as what Li Miao had just done, all of which was to hurriedly raise his arms to block.

However, the two are different after all.

The attack method of the man in black is Yin Cold Qi, while Li Miao is pure brute force!

Click

The sound of bones shattering shocked the man in black.

The eyes exposed under the black cloth were full of horror, and he felt that his body protection true qi was like a blister that would break with a blow, and the bones of his arms were smashed into dozens of pieces the moment they came into contact with Li Miao, and then hit the chest, and the sternum was also broken, and his body was extremely seriously traumatized.

"The news is wrong, he is actually such a powerful body cultivator!" the man in black was shocked.

"Poof"

A mouthful of blood spurted out.

He endured the severe pain, hurriedly activated his true qi, and with a bang, it turned into black mist and drifted into the alley.

The man in black came abruptly and walked without a trace.

In the empty alley, only a puddle of blood on the ground proves that the killer has ever appeared.

"The Ghost Shadow Sect's method of concealing aura is really powerful, and the cultivation of this man in black just now can be hidden so that I can't detect it at all. And this atomization method is also very weird......"

Li Miao's expression was serious.

If it hadn't been for Xiao Yun's reminder in advance, he wouldn't have known that the killer of the Ghost Shadow Sect would have found him so quickly.

He couldn't even sense the breath of the other party when the man in black stood in front of him just now, this kind of concealment technique was too clever, no wonder the Ghost Shadow Sect would become a killer sect that everyone feared as a lone monk.

"This time they underestimated my strength, and next time I'm afraid they will send a master from the Yuan Realm. If everyone in the Ghost Shadow Sect had such a strange body and concealment technique, my life would not be easy. Li Miao said secretly in his heart.

It is impossible to be vigilant all the time, and it is a very uncomfortable feeling to be surrounded by hungry wolves, and if he relaxes the slightest, the enemy may take advantage of the situation and inflict a fatal blow on him.

Li Miao sighed, walked out of the alley, and muttered, "It seems that it is really necessary to join the Huangting Academy. Not to mention anything else, the eighteenth-layer purgatory of Huangting Academy must be a place where the Ghost Shadow Sect cannot set foot in. ”

Out of the alley, Xiaoyun was sitting on a stool at the door of the grocery store opposite, bowing his head and playing with the feathers on his arm.

Seeing him come back safely, Zhanyan smiled and said, "Master, are you okay, the person who is following seems to be gone, and I can't feel his breath." ”

With a happy face, I really don't know if it's because of the safety of his master, or because of her own safety.

For this little banshee who was extremely afraid of death, Li Miao was a little helpless, and replied: "That person is estimated to be unable to live, but there will definitely be stronger people to retaliate later." You have a stronger perception than me, you have to pay attention to your surroundings at all times, and tell me in time if someone is sneaking close, otherwise you will be unlucky when I die. ”

"Well, leave it to me. Xiaoyun nodded vigorously.

She has a lot of motivation and enthusiasm for ensuring the safety of her life.

"Let's go, let's go to Huangting Academy. ”

Li Miao took her, quickened her pace, and headed straight to the northwest.

The east and south sides of Pangshan City are next to the Cangyun River, while the west and north sides are leaning against a rolling mountain range.

Huangting Academy is located in the northwest corner of the city, which is the highest place, occupying tens of thousands of acres of land in the inner city, almost as big as a city in other places.

Before I arrived at the Huangting Academy, I could already see the Xianmen Academy standing on the hillside from a long distance.

Along the way, Li Miao heard a lot of news related to Huangting Academy from passers-by.

For example, this academy is the place where the largest number of immortal cultivators are taught in Pangshan County, and every year, a group of children with a number of more than 500 people enter the academy and then successfully become forging monks. If the family has sufficient wealth and pays enough silver taels and spirit stones, they can continue to cultivate to the Qi Refining Realm, or even the Condensing True Realm.

For another example, the current dean of the Huangting Academy, the "Thousand Machines Venerable", is a super powerhouse who has cultivated to reach the peak of the Xuantong Realm, and has been guarding the city for hundreds of years. Together with the county guard who is a powerhouse in the Xuantong Realm, that is, Yang Kaishan, the city lord of Pangshan City, they are all apprentices trained by him.

Such an institution full of peach and plums naturally attracted a large number of mortals and immortal cultivators to come to study.

Especially for some secular families with low status who can't get the cultivation of the mind method by any means, they take the tuition fee of Huangting Academy as their biggest goal, and do their best to send their children to cultivate immortals, hoping that the children can be extraordinary, and glorify their ancestors.

Therefore, the vicinity of the northwest corner of Pangshan City has always been one of the most visited places in the entire city.

It was September now, which happened to be the month when Huang Ting Academy recruited new disciples once a year, and there were especially many people in the vicinity of the Academy.

When Li Miao and Xiaoyun came to the gate of the academy, it happened to be the most crowded time of the day, and there was a huge courtyard of the academy, where at least hundreds of people gathered.

Most of these people are still ordinary people, and a group of adults and their children gather under a sign that reads "Lower Academy".

The "Lower Academy" is a place that recruits children and guides young people on the path of cultivating immortals.

On the other side, there is the "outer courtyard" that can only be entered after reaching the Qi Refining Realm.

There are many fewer people under the "Outer Courtyard" sign, only less than 100 people, almost all of them are young children.

The reason why there are few people is not that people who have reached the Qi Refining Realm do not want to come to Huangting Academy to study, but because the fees in the outer courtyard are too expensive.

The Lower Academy only needs one hundred taels of silver per year, but the Outer Courtyard has to pay a full one hundred lower-grade spirit stones every year, which is equivalent to a medium-grade magic weapon every year, and it is impossible for a Qi Refining Stage cultivator who has no family background to take it out.

However, this problem is not a problem for Li Miao at all.

There was a long line under the "Outer Courtyard" sign, and it took a lot of work for dozens of people to do it one by one.
