The night in the desert is still so cold and desolate. The faint light of the bonfire shrouds the endless land. Standing on a high place, you can't see the end at a glance.
It was quite quiet inside the camp, with only the occasional crackle of the fire burning. Outside the camp, there were many secret whistles walking back and forth to protect the camp.
In a somewhat crude tent in the camp, Xiao Jie sat cross-legged. His body had once again been coated with the spiritual liquid used in cultivation, and traces of energy gushed out from the surrounding heaven and earth, and then flowed smoothly.
Follow Xiao Jie's breath and pour it into his body.
The vitality in the body is increasing bit by bit, and the feeling of strength is slowly returning to Xiao Jie's powerless body.
This kind of practice continued for a long time. When the morning light gradually appeared in the desert sky, Xiao Jie slowly opened his eyes. In his eyes, he was also quite excited. He could clearly feel that he
The severe pain in my body was slowly dissipating at this moment.
"In a few days, after the vitality flows smoothly, some strength will be restored..."
…………
As Lu Quan said, the journey after passing through the Python Canyon was quite smooth. In the past few days, except for occasionally encountering some small troubles, it did not slow down the speed of the team. In these few days,
As the day progressed, the so-called Holy Thunder Empire was getting closer and closer.
In the past few days, after recuperating and adjusting his breath, Xiao Jie's strength gradually recovered to 70% to 80%. The trauma he suffered in his body also recovered quickly under the dual effects of vitality and elixirs. Looking at this progress
, I am afraid that the recovery speed will be earlier than Xiao Jie expected.
The Tianling system is truly terrifying!
However, although his strength gradually recovered, Xiao Jie still did not show it. He had a good impression of these straightforward men in this team. He did not expect that the exposure of his strength would make them awe and seem unfamiliar.
, and then add something else to the light friendship these days.
With Xiao Jie's current strength, if he wants to hide his aura, even Lu Bingbing in this convoy may not be able to detect it. What's more, perhaps because of the fire spirit in his body, if Xiao Jie wants to hide his strength now
In other words, let alone Lu Bingbing, even some peak emperors and even powerful emperor souls would find it difficult to determine their true strength level.
However, although Xiao Jie felt that his concealment was extremely perfect, during the past few days on the road, he found that Lu Bingbing's attitude towards him seemed to be a little better, not to mention that she ignored the disgusted look on the little Shenhu's face all day long and ran to tease him.
As for the work in the motorcade, after she ordered Lu Quan, no one asked Xiao Jie to do the rough work anymore. Regarding this special treatment, Xiao Jie also smiled bitterly in his heart. Is a woman's intuition really so terrible?
He was confident that he had not exposed the slightest trace, but Lu Bingbing still seemed to be vaguely aware of something. Occasionally, when he looked into Xiao Jie and Xiao Shenhu's eyes, a hint of doubt and contemplation would flash through his eyes.
Moreover, Lu Bingbing would often appear in front of Xiao Jie when she was free, and then chat with him seemingly casually, but the content of the chat was secretly inquiring about Xiao Jie's identity and origin. Of course, Xiao Jie
With these years of experience, it is naturally impossible for her to reveal any flaws in the hands of a girl. Those vague words that seemed to be true and false always made Lu Bingbing return without success.
The feeling on the cotton made her quite unhappy.
Such a scene made Xiao Jie feel helpless, so he could only try to keep the distance between himself and Han Xue, so as not to be discovered by this sensitive woman.
"Hey, let me see, that little girl has fallen in love with you. She has been asking you questions all day long, asking questions about this and that. Do you owe her money?" After Lu Bingbing left, Xiao Shenhu
He gently patted his bulging face with his hand, eyes blurred, and said lazily.
It was okay not to say this, but as soon as he said it, Xiao Jie became furious, grabbed the little tiger's tail, flicked it, and said slightly angrily: "You still dare to say that it wasn't the last time you showed that ferocious look, she
Will you notice?"
"You can't blame me, okay? Who knew that little girl could be so smart?" Little Shenhu tapped his toes in the air, stood on the ground easily, stood upright, and waved his hands helplessly, very humanely and innocently.
"That's all. Anyway, after entering the Holy Thunder Empire in a few days, we have to leave." Xiao Jie looked around and said helplessly.
On the way, they quickly passed through Lu Bingbing's constant tests and guesses. On the fifth day when they were setting up camp, a messenger bird with the emblem of the Lu family flew over from a distance from the direction of the Holy Thunder Empire.
Taking the letter paper carried by the messenger bird from the hands of a guard, Lu Bingbing slowly spread it out. As her beautiful eyes swept, her pretty face slowly turned cold. There was even a hint of emotion in her eyes.
Flashes of anger.
Seeing the change in Lu Bingbing's face, the camp that was still laughing became much quieter. Everyone stood up and looked at Lu Bingbing in the center.
"Miss, what happened?" Lu Quan asked in a deep voice.
"It's a letter from within the family. It says that the Zhong family is planning to take action against the Lu family recently, so we should be careful." Lu Bingbing clenched her hands tightly and said in a cold voice.
"Zhong family? These bastards again, this is simply too much bullying." Upon hearing the word "Zhong family", there were bursts of angry curses all around.
"What do they want to do this time?" Lu Quan frowned, pondered for a moment, and then said: "Could it be... over there in Holy Thunder City..."
Hearing this, Lu Bingbing nodded expressionlessly and said calmly: "Yes, the Holy Thunder Tournament has gradually begun. In order to allow Zhong Shen to enter the Holy Thunder royal family, the Zhong family wants to secretly deal with my sister and me.
Also take this opportunity to annex my Lu family."
The faces of many young people in the motorcade became gloomy. Apparently, the Zhong family's actions made them extremely angry.
"Damn it, two shoulders carry one head. Even if you die, I will still have someone to support you." Lu Quan said angrily.
In response to Lu Quan's angry voice, Lu Bingbing's pretty face remained cold, her beautiful eyes moved slightly, but suddenly they stopped at the rough linen-clad young man sitting by the fire, but the latter seemed not to hear the words here.
He just lowered his head and threw the fire. Seeing this, Lu Bingbing furrowed his eyebrows slightly, turned his eyes away, and said coldly: "Tomorrow we will enter the border of the Holy Thunder Empire. Everyone, please be careful."
"Yes!" Everyone responded in unison.
As Lu Bingbing's silhouette disappeared, everyone in the camp sat back by the fire again, their faces flickering under the light of the fire. In their view, the so-called Zhong family was more threatening than the green one.
The ghost pythons of the ghost python tribe are stronger.
"Brother Lu Quan, is the Zhong family strong?"
The quiet and depressing atmosphere lasted for a long time. Xiao Jie, who was concentrating on stirring the fire, finally straightened up, stretched out and smiled.
"Really speaking, the Zhong family is probably the strongest family in Leifeng City. Even my Lu family is slightly inferior to it. And the most important thing is that the Zhong family has some relations with the Qinglei Sect.
Zhong Shen, the most outstanding person of this generation, is a member of the Qinglei Sect, and he is quite valued among them." Lu Quan sighed and said with a wry smile: "It is through this big tree that the Zhong family has been able to survive in this short period of time.
In just a few years, its reputation and influence have greatly increased. After all, in the entire Holy Thunder Empire, the Green Thunder Sect is also considered to be among the top first-class forces. Compared with it, my Lu family is far behind.
"Qing Lei Sect?" Xiao Jie also had a flash of doubt in his eyes. Qing Sect has branch sects in Dongzhou. Could it be that this Qing Lei Sect is a branch of this Qing Sect?
"Little brother Xiao Jie, you are not from the Holy Thunder Empire. Naturally, you don't know the power behind the Qinglei Sect. Even the emperor who rules the Holy Thunder Empire is very afraid of it. The power behind the Qinglei Sect is Yuanyu.
That branch of Fang Qingzong." Lu Quan sighed, shook his head and smiled bitterly.
For him, he could only look up at the place where strong men gathered in the Yuan Domain, but not look down at it.
"What about the Qinglei Sect? Damn it, if the Zhong family really dares to take action, even if I can't defeat them, I will kill several of them before I die." Beside the fire, a somewhat young guard said with an angry face.
.
Lu Quan did not take these young people's angry words to heart. He patted Xiao Yan on the shoulder and said, "Brother Xiao Jie, it seems that the Lu family will soon be uneasy. When we get to Lei Feng City, I will let
The lady will give you a fee, then you can leave on your own and don't get involved."
Xiao Jie smiled and was noncommittal.
"Okay, everyone, let's get some rest early. We'll have more people on guard duty, and they'll give me a bright spot tomorrow. Once we get back to the family, we should be safe." Lu Quan sighed, stood up, and waved his hand.
, and then turned around and left, leaving the angry people fuming against the fire.
Looking at the tired figure, Xiao Jie flicked his fingers, and a stick of bamboo flew into the fire with a whooshing sound, and then penetrated deep into the ground like an arrow.
After clapping his hands, Xiao Jie also stood up, picked up the little Shenhu, said hello to everyone, and slowly walked back to his tent. When entering the tent, he raised a sneer at the corner of his mouth and said: "I didn't want to at first.
Who cares about this matter, how do you know that there are narrow paths between enemies, Qingzong... I will let you repay the debt you owe me one by one."
The little divine tiger is closest to Xiao Jie, so it can naturally feel the murderous intent that penetrates into the bone marrow. It also knows that Xiao Jie hates the Qing Sect deeply. This time it learned that the Qing Lei Sect is the Qing Sect in the Holy Thunder Empire.
The branch of the sect, and being on the hostile side, added a bit of anger.
Although Xiao Jie is chatting and laughing on weekdays, Xiao Shenhu understands Xiao Jie's temperament. Once Xiao Jie gets angry, he will be like a ferocious beast in human form.
