Hearing this strange laughter, Ling Qingshan was suddenly startled, and then asked in shock: "Who is it?"
"Humph"! As soon as Ling Qingshan finished speaking, a cold snort suddenly came from outside the door. Immediately, a strong gust of wind came and the door opened. A black figure suddenly glided closer from outside the door. The speed was like a fleeting shadow. It was Ling.
With Qingshan's strength, he could only capture a dark shadow!
This was not over yet. The moment the black shadow appeared, a majestic force rolled toward him like a torrential river. Before Ling Qingshan could take precautions, he only felt a pain in his chest. He was knocked down in an instant before his body stabilized.
land.
"Humph, vulnerable"! The black figure stood proudly on the ground and the light reflected on his face. A slightly old face appeared in Ling Qingshan's eyes. At this time, the old man's eyes were also turning towards him.
The corner of his mouth raised a hint of disdain.
"Senior is..."! While stroking his chest, which was still in pain, Ling Qingshan slowly stood up and looked at the old man with a flash of horror in his eyes. The other man could actually knock him down with one blow. Although
There are factors that I haven't prepared for, but the opponent's strength must not be underestimated!
"This is Senior Duan Xiaotian, the great elder of the inner courtyard of Guying Tower..." Xiao Yu took a step forward, pointed at the old man with one hand and said in a slightly respectful tone.
"It turns out to be a senior from Guying Tower. I was rude just now. Please forgive me." Hearing this, Ling Qingshan was startled and immediately overjoyed. Guying Tower actually sent someone to come again, and his status was actually the great elder of the inner courtyard. It can be said that he was
The second person in Guying Tower! His strength is definitely not low. However, while being surprised, Ling Qingshan was also a little confused. He had a respected position. Although Xiao Yu had had some friendship with the patriarch of Guying Tower, and his family had promised a lot of money.
The benefits were good, but they were not enough for Guying Tower to take it so seriously that they actually sent all the great elders from its inner courtyard!
His mind was spinning. As the leader of the clan, Ling Qingshan was certainly not an idiot. After pondering for a while, he felt relieved. The other party came to help us this time as a deputy, and to avenge the dead Guyinglou master was the main one! But no matter what,
All to your own benefit and no harm!
Ignoring Ling Qingshan's flattery, Duan Xiaotian walked up to the main seat and sat down, pondering: "Mr. Liu was really killed by a seventeen-year-old baby." As he spoke, a look of disbelief flashed across Duan Xiaotian's face.
.
"Although I can't guarantee it, I am at least 80% sure, because that day everyone in Wuwei County saw with their own eyes that boy mastered the miraculous skill of controlling fire." Xiao Yu knew that the so-called Mr. Liu in Duan Xiaotian's mouth
It was the dead Guyinglou master, so he took a step forward and said respectfully.
"The art of controlling fire..."! Duan Xiaotian pondered for a moment, and then his eyes slowly overflowed with murderous intent and said coldly: "If this is true, I will let him use the blood of the Xiao family to pay homage to Mr. Liu"!
Duan Xiaotian had a deep friendship with Mr. Liu. Otherwise, as the second most important person in Guying Tower, even if the sect died and an outer elder died, he would not have taken care of it due to his respect.
"Senior, don't underestimate that kid. There are too many mysterious things about him, and he possesses an extremely mysterious skill." In recent days, whether in business or fighting, Ling Qingshan has been very successful under Xiao Xun.
After suffering losses one after another, seeing Duan Xiaotian being so arrogant, he was immediately afraid that Duan Xiaotian would suffer losses because he underestimated Xiao Xun, so he couldn't help but speak to dissuade him.
"Hmph, I think you are really scared by the Xiao family. You are so afraid of even a child with a yellow mouth. You are really an embarrassment to your ancestors of the Ling family!" Duan Xiaotian couldn't help but angrily said when he heard that Ling Qingshan actually became an enemy and destroyed his own prestige.
A majestic energy slowly spread out from his body, covering the entire room for a while, and an invisible pressure suddenly rushed away like Ling Qingshan.
Feeling this pressure, Ling Qingshan's expression suddenly changed, and his expression was full of shock: "Innate...innate realm"!
"Hmph, can we destroy the Xiao family in this way?" Duan Xiaotian asked arrogantly with a cold snort.
"No chicken or dog of the Xiao family will be killed"! After knowing the opponent's strength, Ling Qingshan's confidence suddenly soared. Even if Xiao Xun is mysterious and unpredictable, it is absolutely impossible to compete with an innate master!
"Senior Duan, with you here, the masters of the Xiao family are like chickens and dogs. However, there are so many people in the Xiao family, it will be troublesome to deal with them one by one..."! As soon as Ling Qingshan finished speaking, Xiao Yu was slightly
He bowed and spoke suddenly, but the words were only half spoken.
"Okay, I know, I will put pressure on the Wuwei County government to help us!" Duan Xiaotian said nonchalantly. In his opinion, the Xiao family is just an ant. He can pinch it at any time if he wants.
Die. If it weren't for the deep relationship between him and Mr. Liu, he wouldn't be meddling in this business.
"It's so good, the Xiao family will definitely die this time"! Hearing this, Xiao Yu had a hint of joy on his face. In the Donglong Kingdom, the strength of the royal family was obviously weak in front of the major forces. However, let the officers and soldiers of the government deal with Xiao
Those people in my family are indeed the best!
The three of them talked at length again until it was almost early in the morning before they dispersed...
At this time, due to the arrival of Duan Xiaotian, Wuwei County, which was already undercurrent, is about to be turbulent...
____________(I am the dividing line)——————————————
The mighty mountains are infinitely sharp!
It's winter now, and heavy snow is pouring down, covering the sky, seeming to cover this continuous mountain range with a layer of silver. It can be said that the snow is infinitely enchanting!
On the mountainside, there are hundreds of trees. At this time, about a dozen people are groping forward. They all carry long swords or long bows, and their faces are all more or less scarred by the swords.
, the biting cold wind and the icy temperature caused everyone to be wrapped in a thick layer of cotton clothes, but it could not hide the strong aura emanating from their bodies. From this, it can be seen that they are all men who have been baptized in blood.
When such people appear in the mountains and forests, it is easy to think of three words "mercenaries"!
The profession of mercenaries is not uncommon in the Kamikaze Continent. They make a living by hunting monsters and beasts to obtain their inner elixirs and then reselling them. They often fight against monsters and beasts, which makes each of them carry a fierce aura, and their eyes are full of mercenaries.
There was also a touch of indifference, as if he didn't even care about his own life.
The deep snow could reach up to the knees if one stepped into it, and the thick cotton shoes were penetrated by the ice and snow. However, everyone's expressions remained as usual, as if they had been used to it. At this time, the last person who was leaving the army was following a man who looked like he was only ten years old.
The seven or eight-year-old boy didn't look at how much he was wearing, but it seemed as if he couldn't feel the cold at all. He was following the team and looking around boredly. If anyone among the dozen people in front suddenly turned around,
If you look at it, you will find that every time the young man takes a step, there is a turmoil under his feet, and a wave of energy permeates his feet, making him walk on the snow as if he is walking on flat ground!
"Boy, you'd better follow closely. Although your strength is at its peak, if you lose it in this mountain, don't point it out. Although there are no powerful medicine beasts in this mountain range, even ordinary ones are definitely
You can't handle this alone." As everyone walked around, a bald man approaching the young man whispered to the young man.
This young man was none other than Xiao Xun, who was preparing to go to Jiujiang County to take the exam! Seeing the big man's kind reminder, Xiao Xun gave a grateful smile and nodded lightly: "I got it"!
Although Wuwei County and Jiujiang County are in Lincheng, the distance between them is not short. Originally, Xiao Xun could take the official road directly to Jiujiang County, but after thinking about it, Xiao Xun decided to take a detour as there was still time.
I took a long journey through this mountain range to Jiujiang County, just in time to see the so-called monsters. Since I didn't know much about the situation in the mountains, I found a group of mercenaries in a town not far from Wuwei County.
, casually used some tricks to limit his strength to the Lingwu realm, and quickly gained the appreciation of the mercenary captains, thus inviting Xiao Xun to join.
When Xiao Xun was in Wuwei County, he often heard people talk about the terror of monsters. They were smarter than wild beasts and were extremely strong. Generally, when encountering cultivators of the same level, monsters had a much better chance of winning than humans.
But it had been three days since he came out this time, and Xiao Xun hadn't even seen a hair on the monster beast, so he couldn't help but feel a little disappointed.
"Uncle, if we can't touch even a single monster after crossing the mountain range, wouldn't our trip be in vain?" Xiao Xun's mind moved, and he asked in a low voice like the bald man who reminded him just now.
"Normally not. Although there are not many monsters and beasts in this mountain forest, there are still some. It's just that this time the mountains are blocked by heavy snow, and the monsters are unwilling to come out. Hehe, boy, we have been walking for three days.
We are on our way, this mountain range is almost for us to pass through. If we don’t encounter a few of them before tonight, the boss will use his methods." Hearing Xiao Xun’s question, the bald man slowly said with an evil smile.
.
"Methods"? Xiao Xun frowned slightly and asked in doubt.
"Blood"! The big man just spat out one word lightly, but as he spoke, a look of sadness flashed between his brows.
Seeing that Xiao Xun seemed puzzled, the big man added: "Monsters and beasts are all bloodthirsty creatures. As long as you sprinkle a little blood on the snow, the monsters can smell it." After saying this, the big man sighed slightly.
He sighed: "It's just that once this trick is used, if an accident occurs, it will not only attract a monster..."!
Xiao Xun nodded and finally understood why the big man felt so helpless. Once he used this method, he might attract more than one monster. Although monsters are aloof and most do not want to live in groups, so if they appear, they will attract more than one monster.
The chance of being a monster is very small, but it is still possible...
"Then why do you have to return to danger like this?" Xiao Xun was a little confused. If the accident mentioned by the big man happened, then the more than ten people present would definitely be destroyed.
Hearing this, the big man showed a bitter smile, looked at Xiao Xun and said meaningfully: "Because we are mercenaries"!
Xiao Xun was stunned for a moment after hearing this. He couldn't help but feel a sense of admiration for these men who were licking blood from the knife edge. At the moment, these people completely ignored their own life and death. The indifference in their eyes was not only for the lives of others.
The indifference is also myself!
(This chapter is a bit long-winded, but let me tell you one thing: this team of mercenaries is not a sidekick and will play a very important role in the future)!
