Chapter 244: Interception
As for Yuan Fei, who had been standing aside, he didn't mean to speak at all, but he sneered in his heart.
Although these people seem to have a century-old friendship on the surface, when their own interests are really involved, they will not leave the slightest face for each other. Even if you make peace now, you look like you are advancing and retreating together, but if the treasure is in front of you, there may be some changes.
And he has no friendship with these people to talk about, and he will definitely be the first to be regarded as a thorn in his side, and it seems that he has to keep an extra eye. Otherwise, the treasure has not yet arrived, but he is unlucky to put his life into it, and it will really be a loss to his wife and a soldier.
Yuan Fei thought so in his heart, but his face did not leak.
"Since you don't have any opinions, then I'll leave quickly, lest I have too many dreams at night. At this time, the middle-aged Confucian suddenly reminded.
In this regard, after everyone naturally had no opinions, they all urged the light, and all of them followed Tong Baichuan in a certain direction.
Of course, Yuan Fei was no exception, but intentionally or unintentionally distanced himself from everyone.
There was no word all the way, and he flew thousands of miles away, and after the sky was bright, Tong Baichuan stopped in a flash.
Less than a hundred miles away, an island of more than ten miles in size suddenly appeared, bare and without vegetation.
"Brother Tong, the old monster and the others won't just hide on this desert island, right?" the short old man asked lightly after glancing at the island opposite.
"If the old man's news is good, this is the island. However, fellow Daoists should be more careful, none of the monks on the island are easy to deal with, so you must quietly enter the island and kill him by surprise. Tong Baichuan said with a solemn expression.
"Tong Daoyou can rest assured. After the white-bearded old man smiled, he pinched his hands and immediately gathered his breath.
Seeing this, the others also used the Concealment Technique to disperse and slowly fly towards the island.
And Yuan Fei just silently recited a few words of mantra in his mouth, and followed behind without leaking any breath......
At the same time, in a temporary cave on a desert island, several monks were huddled together, talking in low voices.
"Brother Gu, do you think which sect we are aiming for next?" said a thin man holding a dagger with a greedy look in his eyes.
"Hmph, I've been waiting for a while, but I've done a lot of business, I'm afraid I've already been targeted by someone with a heart, and if I want to show up again, it will be tantamount to throwing myself into the net. According to the old man, this desert island is not safe anymore, and he must leave immediately. After a black-robed old man snorted, his face couldn't help but sink.
"When did Brother Gu become so timid and afraid?" As soon as the black-robed old man's voice fell, a middle-aged man with a pale face said with a slight sneer.
"What do you know? Although the treasure is good, the old man values his own life more. If a few Taoist friends resolutely do not leave, the old man will naturally not be reluctant. But the ugly words are ahead, if there are really three long and two short things at that time, don't blame the old man for not reminding you. After the black-robed old man said a word, he turned around and left without any hesitation.
"Brother Qiao, this ancient monster is too uninteresting, and he actually said to leave. Finally, the black-faced man seemed a little displeased.
"This old fellow is very sorry for his life, and of course he doesn't want to take any more risks. And although there are a lot of treasures that we have obtained, the most important Yuan Shen Pill has not yet been obtained, so it seems that we have to take another risk. The middle-aged man surnamed Qiao gritted his teeth and said.
"Brother Qiao, after I got it last time, I accidentally found that the ancient monster seemed to be stealing something. At the time, I wasn't sure for sure, but now it's behaving so strangely, and nine times out of ten, what it's hiding is the Yuan Shen Pill. Besides, this ancient monster has never taken us seriously, and even if he doesn't have this pill, he can't let him go like this. At this time, the black-faced man suddenly whispered.
"To be honest, Qiao Mou also thought about attacking the ancient monster, but his strength is not the match of ordinary monks, and he is also proficient in the art of retreat, even if he is not our opponent, if he wants to escape, we are also helpless. After thinking about it, the man surnamed Qiao shook his head helplessly.
"What Brother Qiao said is good, if you really want to do it, you have to wait until you have a complete grasp of it, and now is not the time to tear your face with him. However, there is some truth to the old monster's saying, it is really not safe here, and it is better to transfer it to be safer. The emaciated man said suddenly.
"Okay, without further ado, I'll leave now. After the middle-aged man nodded, he didn't say anything more, and immediately left the cave with the two of them and flew in a certain direction.
But when the three of them just flew out dozens of zhang away, the man surnamed Qiao suddenly changed his expression, turned his head to the ground to take a look, and then his eyes were fixed on a gray-white boulder that was about a foot big.
"Someone is sneakily hiding there, come out quickly, otherwise Qiao Mou will not be polite. ”
"Haha, I have heard that Qiao Daoyou's divine sense is much stronger than that of a monk of the same level, so it turns out that this is really the case!" As soon as the man surnamed Qiao finished speaking, a light suddenly flashed behind the gray-white boulder, and a light rose to the sky, appearing not far from the three of them.
At the same time, the rest of the island also immediately fled, and six or seven rays of retreat light shot in, surrounding the three middle-aged men in the middle, naturally Yuan Fei and the others who quietly entered the desert island.
The person who spoke was the short and thin old man, who seemed to know the man surnamed Qiao.
Seeing this, the man surnamed Qiao's face suddenly became ugly. The emaciated man and the black-faced man were also taken aback, and hurriedly released the magic weapon with a flick of their wrists and protected them around.
"Qiao doesn't seem to have seen Daoyou, right?" The man surnamed Qiao glanced at the short old man a few times, and said with a frown.
"Qiao Daoyou is really a noble person, decades ago the old man and a friend went to sea to experience, and happened to meet a few, if it wasn't for the old man to escape quickly, I'm afraid he would have died in your hands. Although the short and thin old man had a smile on his face, his eyes were full of murderous intent.
"It turned out to be you!Hmph, Daoist friends appeared here, thinking that they were here to avenge the events of the past?" The man surnamed Qiao seemed to remember something, and snorted coldly in his nose.
"I waited this time to encircle and suppress the ancient monsters, but since Qiao Daoyou is also here, I just want to get rid of them together!"
Do you think that if there are many people, you can threaten Qiao?" said the man surnamed Qiao disdainfully, but his face became extremely ugly, obviously unspeakable.
"Since these three people have some grievances with Hu Daoyou, let's settle them first. The ancient monster has not appeared, and must have discovered our traces, and hid first, and is not in a hurry. Tong Baichuan smiled at the corner of his mouth and said.
The short and thin old man said the word "good", and immediately released two flying knives with his arms raised, and as soon as the sound of breaking through the air sounded, he went straight to the man surnamed Qiao and slashed it.
Although the man surnamed Qiao knew that he was in a catastrophe now, he would not be stupid enough to sit still, so he hurriedly shook his sleeves, and two flying swords, one large and one small, shot out, catching up with the two flying knives.
And the black-faced man and the emaciated man beside him also let out a low shout, and each of them used a magic weapon to kill the white-bearded old man who was surrounded on the opposite side.
After the people smiled coldly, they fought fiercely with the three of them one after another.
Suddenly, the nine monks scuffled in one place, and the surface of the magic weapon was magnificent, like a huge ball of light covering everyone inside.
As for Yuan Fei, he didn't mean to come forward to help. Although the three men surnamed Qiao killed people and plundered goods, which can be described as a heinous crime, but there are innocent hands in the immortal cultivation world?
So as long as the other party has no grievances with him, he is too lazy to meddle in things.
What's more, there are six short and thin old men who shoot together, and the men surnamed Qiao will definitely not be able to resist for long.
What he cares about is the old monster who never sees a human figure.
What the people didn't notice was that behind a boulder that was only a few dozen feet away from everyone, there was a faint black shadow.
After secretly glancing at the group of cultivators who were fighting fiercely in mid-air, his body shook, turned into a cloud of green smoke, and slowly flew out of the island.
"Huh?" And all this made Tong Baichuan, who was looking around, look at it squarely.
Tong Baichuan smiled, and with just one hand, a blue light shot out, and struck near the boulder in a flash.
With a loud "boom", the boulder that was nearly one person high was immediately blown to pieces, and more than ten zhang away from the explosion area, a figure suddenly flashed, and an old man in a black robe with a horse face emerged, it was Gu Chunqiu.
As soon as Gu Chunqiu saw that his deeds were revealed, he immediately urged him to flee and was about to flee.
But who knew that Tong Baichuan had already rushed to this side at the same time as he attacked, and blocked the way first.
Gu Chunqiu frowned, and as soon as the direction changed, he was about to flee to the rear.
But a black shadow flashed not far behind him, and Yuan Fei also arrived.
However, Yuan Fei's eyes were mostly on Tong Baichuan.
Just now, Yuan Fei and Tong Baichuan were not more than a few feet apart, and with his divine sense, which was much stronger than that of the peak monks in the later period, he had not found any trace of the ancient monster, and he was actually easily seen through by the other party, which really surprised him a little.
This couldn't help but make him pay a little attention to Tong Baichuan.
"Old Monster, you're already winged. If you know each other, hurry up and hand over the storage bag, the old man may be able to let you live, or today will be your death!" Tong Baichuan said in a cold voice.
"Haha, joke, even the Yuanshen Stage monks may not be able to kill the old man, let alone the two of you?" Gu Chunqiu saw that he was blocked, and did not show any fear, but said with a mocking face.
"Since the old man can find here, he naturally has a way to deal with you, so you'd better be caught obediently. Tong Baichuan smiled faintly and said calmly.
"The old man won't believe your nonsense, there are so many monks who want to catch the old man, I don't know if you have the ability?" After Gu Chunqiu smiled mysteriously, his shoulders shook and he disappeared.
