The Black Iron Mountain Range stretches for thousands of miles, and it is the most extensive mountain range in Cangfeng Country. There are countless powerful demon beasts living in its depths, which are extremely dangerous even for the monks of the Foundation Realm.

Therefore, many notorious evil cultivators in Cangfeng Country formed groups and hid in the periphery of the Black Iron Mountain Range. Among them, there are fierce loose cultivators who block the road and rob the road, and there are also wandering murderers who slaughter people.

The mountains are vast and the forests are dense, and they hide in them, either hunting monsters or robbing monks, and their lives are relatively nourishing. Because their cultivation is inferior, but there are a large number of them, they let the high-ranking monks have no time to clear them, but the low-level monks dare not clear them. So they have been here ever since.

In fact, close to the Lingguang Sect, Zhang Yuanhao completely knew where their lair was, and he also knew the actual number and cultivation of this group of rogues, and even knew the leader of this group of rogues. This is because this group of rogues has to pay him a certain "protection fee" every year, Zhang Yuanhao acquiesced to them hiding in the Black Iron Mountain Range, and they didn't dare to kill the disciples of the Lingguang Sect on weekdays, so they have been safe and sound.

The sect masters and elders of the Lingguang Sect were all foundation building cultivators, and the usual trivial matters of the sect were all entrusted to Zhang Yuanhao and them to manage and handle the Qi Realm Dharma Protector. This has created a situation where he, Zhang Yuanhao, covers the sky with one hand in the sect, and there are many henchmen.

It is the middle of March in the mortal world at the moment, it is the Guyu solar term, and the entire Black Iron Mountain Range is also a drizzle.

As usual, the entire Lingguang Sect was immersed in a peaceful and peaceful atmosphere, with only a few outer disciples performing patrol missions in the drizzle.

Shout!

Within the Lingguang Sect, a fiery red sword light pierced the sky like a red rainbow.

"It's Zhang Protector!"

Some disciples stared enviously at the sword light and muttered.

"I have to go to the fourth level of Qi cultivation to be able to learn the art of controlling the flying sword! I don't know when I will be able to have a flying sword of my own!"

......

On the periphery of the Black Iron Mountains, Lion Tiger Mountain.

In the past, there were many wild lions and hungry tigers in this mountain, and mortals were often killed here. But since the middle of winter six years ago, all the beasts here have disappeared. But very few people pass by here.

No one knew that it was a group of monks who killed the beasts on the mountain and opened a cave in this barren place to hide in the world.

At first, there were only five or six people in Shihu Mountain, but after six years, it has expanded to more than 20 people today, and all of them are monks who have cultivated and can't get along in the cultivation world.

Among them, Xiang Kui, the patriarch of the seventh layer of qi training, is the leader, and he calls himself the lion tiger real person, leading a group of monks who are not in the late stage of qi training to hunt demon beasts in the Black Iron Mountain Range on weekdays for a living, and sometimes rob and kill some minor monks, but they are very careful, and rarely attack the disciples of the sect, usually robbing and killing some scattered cultivators and the like.

Xiang Kui is forty or fifty years old, his qualifications are average, and he is just a low-grade fire spirit root, but his identity is incredible-Fu Jian Mountain outcast!

Speaking of Fu Sword Mountain, it is more than a star and a half stronger than the Yi Yan Sword Sect. The current sect master of Fu Jian Mountain, Yuan Jian Zhenjun, is recognized as the first sword cultivator in the world, and he cultivated in the late Yuan Infant period, and he has lived for more than 1,800 years, which can be said to have suppressed this era.

Although Xiang Kui has the cultivation of the seventh layer of Qi cultivation, in Fu Jian Mountain, he is just an outer disciple, and he has no hope of being promoted to build a foundation and become an inner disciple in this life.

Originally, he just wanted to spend his life in Fu Jian Mountain conscientiously, but he didn't expect to anger the high-level of the sect because of one thing, so he immediately made a decision, fled from the sect, went incognito, and absconded all the way from the middle region of the Qingxuan Continent to the Cangfeng Kingdom in the Northern Regions, where he met a few monks who also couldn't get along. So as soon as it was summed up, it was simply the king of the mountain.

A few years have passed, but I didn't expect Shihu Mountain to really become famous, and there are many monks who can't get along in the cultivation world, and the name Xiang Kui is also well-known in the industry.

Lion Tiger Mountain, inside the Lion Tiger Cave.

"Real person! There has been no business in the past few months, and the brothers are a little short of resources!" said a black-faced man with a bitter face.

Xiang Kui, the real person of the lion tiger, looks like a pampered and wealthy middle-aged man, with a kind look, but those who are familiar with him know that he is a smiling tiger.

Xiang Kui frowned and sighed: "In another month or two, if you don't have a business, you can only go demon hunting!"

The business in their mouths refers to a good way to rob the road. There are bandits robbing the Tao in the ordinary world, and there are also monks robbing the Tao in the cultivation world, all for survival and resources. Speaking of which, there is also a large force in the Northern Regions, specializing in the industry of robbing roads and killing people, called Blackheart Village, one village owner and three deputy village owners are all foundation building monks.

When the black-faced man retired, Xiang Kui rubbed his forehead, quite distressed.

"Spirit stones! Where did the spirit stones come from? How many spirit stones do you have to kill a casual cultivator? It's not enough for me to cultivate alone, I'm really idle, and I'm thinking about this way to get something for nothing!" Xiang Kui's face turned blue, and his fingers tapped on the stone table in the cave mansion.

"It's not easy to get a spirit stone! it depends on whether you have the courage to do so!"

A low, magnetic voice sounded in his ears, causing him to jump from the stone bench in fright.

Zhang Yuanhao's figure appeared from the shadows in the corner of the cave, dressed in a brown-gray robe, with cold eyes flashing, which made people shudder.

Zhang ...... Zhang Protector!"

Xiang Kui swallowed a mouthful of saliva, hugged his fists and said, "Zhang Protector suddenly came to the cold house, what are you doing?"

Zhang Yuanhao smiled slightly, which made Xiang Kui's back a little chilly, in his impression, this Zhang Protector is definitely a character who eats people and does not spit out bones.

"I want you to do one thing for me, after the thing is done, I will ensure that you don't worry about the spirit stone, and there will be a big gift!"

Zhang Yuanhao took out a pill with a faint medicinal fragrance in his hand, looked at Xiang Kui, and said lightly: "A Broken Rank Pill, how about it?"

Xiang Kui beat Zhang Yuanhao and took out the pill, his eyes couldn't move away, and his snort became a little heavier, as soon as he heard Zhang Yuanhao's words, he forcibly suppressed his desire for this pill and asked, "I'm afraid this thing is not so easy to do, right?"

Zhang Yuanhao laughed, sat on the stone bench where Xiang Kui was originally sitting, and said, "It's just to kill two people!"

Xiang Kui's eyes froze, and he asked, "I'm afraid the identity is not simple, right?"

"One is the son of the elder of the Lingguang Sect, and the other is the disciple of Wu Gan's old thing. ”

"What!"

Xiang Kui almost blurted out, and his heart was shocked.

"I can't do this!" Xiang Kui broke out in a cold sweat behind his back, he didn't expect that he still underestimated Zhang Yuanhao's courage, he dared to calculate the junior of a foundation building monk.

"Don't be too busy saying no!"

Zhang Yuanhao glanced at Xiang Kui, with a faint temptation in his voice, "Don't you listen to my conditions?"
