Chapter 69: Undercurrents

(First update.) If there is a typo, please just do it. )

Just when Gongsun Ji and the others coveted the Xuanbing Holy Blood in Nie Feng's body, other forces were also on their way to Xiangshan.

On an official road, seven or eight gorgeous carriages drove slowly, heading in the direction of Xiangshan.

At the junction of the official road is a narrow valley filled with the fragrance of wildflowers and the chirping of birds. The official road where the carriages traveled ran through the valley.

"The gate owner has an order, and the convoy should be extra careful when entering the valley to prevent an ambush. A young man stepped out of the largest carriage and faced the other carriages.

"Yes. The other men in the carriage responded.

These people were uniformly dressed in black suits, and a long silver knife was embroidered on the left chest on the front of the dress. If there are people who are familiar with the Northwest Martial Arts here, they can recognize at a glance that these people are from the second major sect of the Northwest Martial Arts, the Sword Sect.

The first major sect is the True Martial Sect.

Although the Sword Sect is known as the second major sect, its strength is not much lower than that of the True Martial Sect. Because of the ranking of the sects, the Huadao Sect is the only one in the Northwest Martial Arts that dares to oppose the True Martial Arts Sect and has the strength to do so.

Under the warning of the master of the Huadao Sect, his disciples began to be vigilant, and slowly walked through the valley in a carriage.

"Roar~" Just as the convoy drove to the center of the valley, an earth-shattering tiger roar came from the valley.

A group of colorful yellow-haired giant tigers suddenly rushed out of the valley, those giant tigers were extremely handsome but all of them had shriveled bellies, and the eyes of the giant tiger gate were shining with devouring green light, obviously they had been hungry for many days.

"Fight. An old voice came from the largest carriage in the convoy.

"Yes!"

Although the disciples of the Transformation Sword Sect are not weak, the ordinary disciples have all reached the realm of the sixth or seventh layer of internal strength. But the giant tigers rushing in front of them were too fierce and numbered in groups, looking at the fierce tiger teeth and saliva of the giant tigers, the ordinary disciples of the Turning Sword Sect were shocked and changed their faces, hiding behind the carriage and holding knives to defend.

"You stand back!"

At this time, two voices came from the left and right sides of the convoy, and then I saw two gray-robed men with long knives rushing into the tiger herd. After the two gray-clothed men rushed into the tiger group, the true qi on their bodies suddenly exploded, and both of them turned out to be masters of the innate realm!

"Evil beasts are looking for death!" Seeing a giant tiger actually pounce on the carriage of the Lord of the Sword Sect, a man in gray was immediately furious. The blade of the long knife in his hand suddenly skyrocketed, and the three-foot gray blade in his right hand emanated from the knife and slashed towards the giant tiger.

'Poof', the sound of the knife slashing into the flesh came, and the hungry giant tiger was cut off half of its head by the knife before it could roar, and the giant tiger struggled and fell to the ground and died on the spot.

Although the tigers were large in number, and they were all hungry and ferocious, they were still like chickens and dogs under the siege of the two innate masters of the Huadaomen, and they were slaughtered in just a while.

Just as the Knife Gate was fighting against the hungry tigers, a few people were looking at the scene below in a low-lying part of the valley with distress.

"Lord Xiang, our tiger group can't do it at all, and it can't stop the attack of those two people at all. A thin man said with some distress, "It's a pity that those golden retriever tigers, they were all gathered by us with great difficulty, but they were all killed by the people of the Sword Gate." ”

"What's the use of a pity?" said the incense lord who took the lead helplessly, "This is the order of the master of the Gongsun Sect, to use the tigers to test the strength of the Transformation Sword Sect, and by the way, bite to death a few ordinary disciples of the Transformation Sword Sect." ”

"Damn, when did the Transformation Knife Sect have an innate master besides Old Man Wei and that person?" The leader of the incense lord wondered, "We are ready to leave, and report to the Gongsun Sect Master that the strength of the Transformation Knife Sect has increased, and they have one more innate master." ”

Knife Gate Fleet.

"Master. We've cleaned up the tigers. Two men in gray, covered in tiger blood, came to the largest carriage with long knives in their hands.

"Well, that's good. The old man in the carriage said.

"It stands to reason that tigers are loners, and I have never heard of the term "tigers," a man in gray wondered, "how could you encounter such a large group of golden retrievers today, and they all look like they are extremely hungry." When he encountered our sword, he didn't retreat and rushed desperately towards the convoy. ”

"Don't you see it yet? These tigers are raised by people. Out of the carriage came a hunchbacked old man in white, and the old man's eyes sparkled and continued, "And the tigers have been drugged by people, so they will attack us so disregarding life and death." ”

"Stop the carriage and come as soon as you go for the teacher. After the hunchbacked old man in white finished speaking, his figure flashed towards the top of the valley.

It was the hiding place of Gongsun Ji's men.

Seeing that the tigers had been slaughtered, the leader of the incense immediately took a few of his men and prepared to report back. But suddenly there was a flash of white light in front of them, and a hunchbacked old man with wrinkled skin appeared in front of them.

"Old man Wei, ah, no Wei Sect Master!" said the spearhead incense master.

"Gongsun Ji is still the same old man, sending his disciples to do some shady things. The hunchbacked old man in white disdained the authentic.

"Yes, yes, you're right!" The leader of the incense lord was frightened into a cold sweat, and nodded again and again, "We don't want to come either, Gongsun Ji forced us to come." Master Weimen, you are a righteous man and a gentleman, and there are a lot of adults, so you can let us go. ”

After speaking, the leader of the incense master was about to leave.

"Master of this sect, did you say that you will be let go?" the hunchbacked old man looked at the incense master strangely and said, "If you collide with my old man, you will take your life to make amends!"

A majestic mid-innate white sword burst out from the hunchbacked old man's body and rolled towards the head incense master and the others with a frightened face, and the sword smashed them in an instant.

Looking at the minced human flesh in one place, the hunchbacked old man sneered, "Gongsun Ji, do you think that you are the only one who has cultivated to the middle stage of innate cultivation?"

......

Xiliang Wangcheng.

Ever since Sima Shang, the king of the Seven Counties, inexplicably suffered from the strange disease of drinking human essence and blood, the entire palace was immersed in a trace of fear. Sima Wei, the king of Xiliang, had no choice but to send Sima Shang to a mountain villa on the outskirts of Wangcheng.

In that villa, there were guards who took care of Sima Shang, and they fed Sima Shang's essence blood regularly every day, otherwise Sima Shang would howl in pain and look like a skeleton.

Sima Wei, the king of Xiliang, hurt his head to this end, he couldn't think of how Sima Shang could get such a strange disease, and even the doctor Saint Lin Zhengnan was helpless.

He had to drink a lot of human blood every day, and at first Sima Shang could still drink the blood of ordinary people, but after a long time, only the essence blood in the bodies of those martial artists would be useful to him and could restrain him from going crazy. Although the Xiliang Wangfu has a big family, it is impossible to release the essence blood of the masters in the palace and feed it to Sima Shang.

After all, those essence blood is the essence of the solid foundation for the martial artists, and it is okay to have less essence blood, but if the essence blood is lost more, it will definitely affect the cultivation and strength.

But he couldn't watch Sima Shang go crazy and die, King Xiliang had no choice but to mix some elixirs and medicinal materials in the blood of ordinary people, but fortunately, this synthetic 'essence blood' could also be accepted by Sima Shang and absorbed by the blood in his body.

But in terms of pill medicinal materials, Xiliang Wangfu still has a lot of inventory, which is enough for Sima Shang to use.

In the mountain villa where Sima Shang was imprisoned, the guards were densely packed, and ordinary people could not set foot within three miles of the villa at all. In Zhuangzi, there is even more meaning that the master of the early stage of innate is in charge, and it is the one who was worshiped before Sima Shang sucked blood, Wu Lao.

Outside this deserted mountain villa, an uninvited guest suddenly came. A young man in a bloody robe walked towards the villa.

"Stop!" shouted a guard in the villa, "This is the important place of the Xiliang Palace. If you dare to take another step, you will be arrested and imprisoned in the yamen!"

"Hmph. The important land of the Xiliang Palace?" The blood-robed man said disdainfully, then raised his head.

"Ahh

The blood-robed man's eyes were blood-red, as if he could drip blood. His face was densely covered with bug-like roots and looked disgusting.

"Is it a human or a ghost?" the blood-robed man sneered, "I'm a ghost now, I'll be a human if I take back the bloodbeard!"

Then the blood-robed man waved his right hand, and several blood-red true qi directly pierced the body of the guard who was blocking the way. The blood-robed man didn't even glance at the corpse on the ground, and continued to walk inside.

"Who are you, what does the county king's illness have to do with you?!" In the villa, Wu Lao's eyes stared at the blood-robed man.

"Sick?" laughed the blood-robed man, "how could this be a disease? ”

"You!" Wu Lao was suddenly furious, "It turns out that you killed the king of the county, and you took your life!"

Wu Lao's body suddenly overflowed with true qi, his wide black robe was windless, and he held a long sword to kill the blood-robed man.

"Weak. The blood-robed man glanced at Wu Lao, stood still and let Wu Lao's long sword pierce his body. Wu Lao's long sword pierced through the blood-robed man, but he didn't have a happy expression, and a breath of death suddenly came from Wu Lao's back.

"You don't even see my true identity and doppelganger clearly, and you still want to kill me?" a faint voice sounded in Wu Lao's ears, and then a sharp pain came from his heart.

"Ahh

"You, you!" Wu Lao looked down at his chest cavity where his heart had been pulled out, and before he could finish his words, he fell to the ground and died.

A master in the early stage of innate is not the enemy of the blood-robed people!

The blood-robed man glanced at the corpse of the old man on the ground, then threw away the heart in his hand and walked deeper into the villa.

With a kick opening the room where Sima Shang was imprisoned, the blood-robed man saw Sima Shang chained.

"Give me your dragon qi and let me advance to the innate realm!" the blood-robed man looked at Sima Shang, who was languishing, and then stretched out his hand to Sima Shang's Heavenly Spirit Cover.

An extremely rich blood qi slowly pulled out of Sima Shang's body, and more and more blood qi began to permeate the entire room. In the end, after all the blood qi was withdrawn, Sima Shang directly crooked his neck and died.

The blood-robed man stared at the blood qi that permeated the room, and those blood-robed people slowly turned into a hideous blood-colored dragon under the guidance of the blood-robed man, and the dragon roared wildly into the sky and entered the blood-robed man's body.

The blood-robed man narrowed his eyes in satisfaction, his strength was rising steadily, and he had actually reached the realm of the middle innate stage!

"Even at the cost of burning my life, even if I only have three months to live, I, Liu Hong, will definitely avenge your father-in-law!"

"Gongsun Ji of Zhenwumen, Sanzang of Leiyin Temple. You're all going to die!"
