There was deathly silence on the beach again, with only the sound of waves crashing against the rocks and sand.
"Bang bang bang" a muffled sound was heard, and the three-foot scimitar finally scattered in all directions, turned into hundreds of dagger teeth, and fell on the beach.
Tianjiu waved and put away his broad-edged sword, then shot it with one hand, and all the hundreds of dagger teeth on the beach flew over and disappeared beside him in an instant.
After doing this, he made two "puff" sounds, spit out two mouthfuls of black blood, shook his body several times, and finally stabilized. He urged the flying sword under his feet and landed in front of Li Mu's body.
"Big Brother! Old Ten is here...!"
Tianjiu looked at the body whose essence and blood had dried up and cried out sadly.
There was no reaction from his body, and he still held the unactivated magic weapon-grade cyan flying sword in his hand.
Tianjiu used his spiritual consciousness to carefully examine it several times and confirmed that his senior brother had died. There was infinite sadness on his face.
He silently took out a cloth bag, packed the two parts of Li Mu's body, carried the flying sword and landed on the embankment.
Countless pairs of eyes stared at all this, looking at Tianjiu as if looking at a monster.
"You can go down and transport your companions back. I'm going to the North Gate Defense Camp! Who knows?" Tianjiu looked at Wu Wei and several Qi Refining disciples and asked.
No one answered, everyone shook their heads silently.
"Beihua Palace!" the foundation-building monk from District 19 replied from afar, throwing another jade slip map.
Tianjiu nodded towards the monk with a sallow face, then flashed and shot towards the north.
※※※
At the North Gate Defense Camp, the third elder suddenly relaxed his sword eyebrows and looked at the black smoke gradually fading on the huge jade plate in front of him, showing a hint of joy.
"Third Elder, those cloud-finned sharks have retreated. It seems that Brother Ku has won the victory. They drove away the third-order cloud-finned sharks." Tantai also expressed joy and said to the third elder.
"Well, that's right. Kusha has been cultivating for more than half a year and has indeed made progress. It seems that the golden elixir is promising!" The third elder nodded and replied.
"Oh, Senior Brother Ku is so happy and congratulated!" Tantai sighed softly.
"Haha, you can also make meritorious deeds. If you are willing to lead a spy team to go out to sea three hundred miles to check the situation there, as long as you bring back the exact information, you can get a Yuan Ning Dan. Within ten years, you can still
I’m afraid I won’t have a chance to condense the golden elixir!”
"Take the spy out to sea?!" Tantai's heart suddenly sank, and his face turned pale.
He knew very well what it meant to go to sea at this time, as evidenced by the fact that none of the first three groups of spies returned.
"How is it? This is a sect mission jointly issued by Master Ji and the Great Elder. The mission level is: Level 6. It is also the highest level sect mission in Dongcang in the past ten years. The sect has already identified nine people, and there is still one person left. You go,
You are the leader!"
"..." Tantai was dumbfounded.
In the moment of embarrassment, a group of monks burst in.
"Huh? Kusha, you are back? You are back so fast!?" the third elder asked in confusion.
"Third Elder, this disciple deserves to die. I only brought back a dozen junior brothers." Kusha clasped his fists, knelt down on one knee, and said in a trembling voice.
"No problem, you can drive away the third-order cloud-finned shark, so this loss is nothing!"
"Drive away the Cloud-winged Shark?" Kusha was embarrassed. "The disciples retreated back! They didn't defeat the Cloud-winged Shark!"
"Impossible! Look at the jade plate, the black smoke has dissipated, the cloud-winged sharks must have retreated, and the city defense formation stopped operating a few breaths ago." The third elder left the table and looked at Ku in surprise.
sand.
A silver biography splashed into the camp and landed in front of Yantai. The god of God's consciousness, showing a shocking color on his face.
"What happened?!" Three elders were gloomy, and it seemed that the situation was not that he imagined.
"Back to the third elder, the cloud -winged shark has indeed receded, and even the fluorescent beast and Mo Xin Haiyu disappeared."
"Oh? Did they retreat on their own?"
Tantai's expression changed several times, and he gritted his teeth and replied: "Third Elder, according to the front, it was a monk from Hua Chen who fought off the third-order cloud-winged sharks and killed one of them."
"What?!" Three elders revealed the incompetent color. "What is the cultivation of this Hua Chen?
"Refining...refining Qi!" Tantai trembled.
"Refining Qi ... ?!" Three elders swallowed their saliva, and I haven't returned to God for half a day.
Another transmission symbol was shot into the camp, and it fell directly in front of the third elder.
The third elder's consciousness moved slightly and his eyes narrowed slightly.
"This Hua Chen colleagues, come in!" The third elder drank, the voice was not loud, but the a few were clear and visible.
Tianjiu stepped in with his sword, holding a blood-stained cloth bag in his arms. He froze and stood in the center of the camp. There was no expression on his pale face. On his left shoulder, a formidable dagger still had slanted teeth.
It was inserted, but the blood no longer dripped.
The third elder stared at Tianjiu, and used his mountain-like spiritual pressure to explore the opponent several times. Finally, he nodded and smiled: "This disciple, are you really from Huachen?"
"Hua Chen Tianjiu, the tenth disciple of Dantang!" Tian Jiu replied.
"Did you repel the third-order cloud-winged shark?"
"I just want to get back my brother's body, who blocks, who dies!"
Cusha's face on the side shake several times, and it was wonderful.
The third elder withdrew his eyes and said coldly: "What do you want to do here?"
"What's the matter?!" Tianjiu suddenly opened his eyes, a cold light flickering. "Master, I, a disciple of Hua Chen, came to Dongcang to hunt animals in name, but were separated for no reason and were arranged by you to defend the city.
, forget about defending the city, my senior brother is dead now, you won’t give me an explanation, and you are not even willing to take back the body. If I hadn’t killed the monster with all my life, my senior brother would have entered the monster a long time ago.
In the belly! My lord, what do you think I want to do here?"
"Hey——!" The third elder took a deep breath.
Although Hua Chen and other disciples helped them defend the city secretly with Ouyang De's permission, they should be treated harshly. No one said that if they come here, they must die. Even the lowest-level military guards in Dongcang, as long as they are fighting
Even if you die, your family will receive good compensation.
"Ahem! Tianjiu, I think Kusha is right not to snatch our fallen colleagues, so as to avoid unnecessary casualties. Holding the embankment is the most critical, after all, there are tens of millions of creatures behind us."
"Really? Sir, why was my disciple Hua Chen torn to pieces?"
"Well, well, Tianjiu, I am Tuobatian, the third elder of the North Gate. What you just said is indeed that we did something wrong. Now that your senior brother has died, what do you think we should do? As long as I can
To compensate, I will definitely satisfy you!" The third elder changed his expression several times, and finally said with a smile.
"Compensation is not necessary, but I have three requests!"
"Request? Tell me!" Third Elder Tuobatian asked, his face slightly condensed.
"First, I want to see my third senior sister Ke Jing. The senior brother is her Taoist companion. Senior brother's body and relics should be returned to her. Second, all Huachen disciples should be transferred back. We will no longer hunt animals.
Return to Huachen. Thirdly, Dongcang Sect issues a jade slip proving that we did not escape without permission, so we can have an explanation to the sect after we return to Huachen."
Tianjiu said all the requirements in one breath.
"Haha! Haha! You are such a big talker! Go back to Huachen?!" Tuobatian shook his head and chuckled. "I can promise you the first one, but as for the other two, it is difficult for me to do it!"
"Why? Can't we go back now that we're here?" Tianjiu asked in a deep voice.
Tuobatian glanced at Tianjiu again and said, "I admire your courage. Since you blocked an attack from the Cloud-winged Shark for us, it doesn't matter if I tell you. You, one hundred Huachen disciples,
We, Dong Cang Hua, invited you with a Ning Yuan Dan. Unless you can give me back a Ning Yuan Dan, I can go to Head Ji to intercede on your behalf. Maybe Head Ji will agree to send you back."
"Condensing Yuan Pill?" Tianjiu felt a chill in his heart.
The leader exchanged one Yuan Ning Dan for the freedom and even the lives of one hundred of their disciples. In other words, in Hua Chen's eyes, these one hundred of them were only worth one Yuan Ning Dan. The beast tide will not recede.
, it is impossible for them to return to Huachen until the last one.
"Haha! Haha!" Tianjiu laughed miserably and said with a grin: "Sir, that means we can't go back no matter what?! Then can you tell me how many Hua Chen disciples are still alive?"
The third elder was stunned for a moment, glanced at the stunned people in the camp, and spoke to Tantai for a moment.
"I'm sure there are eleven more people, including Kejing and you." The third elder said a little awkwardly.
"Eleven people? Haha, that is to say, in just over a month, 90% of the disciples have died. Since my fate is not up to me, Sir, can you let the remaining Hua Chen disciples gather together? In this way, even if they die, they will not die.
You won’t be too lonely!” Tianjiu said sadly.
Tantai stood aside, looking at the terrifying dagger fangs of the Cloud-Wing Shark on Tianjiu's shoulder, and a cunning light suddenly appeared in his eyes.
"Tianjiu, I brought you out. It's my fault for not explaining things clearly to you. Tantai felt uneasy. So, if you can make great contributions to us again, I can ask the third elder to agree to your request.
?”
"Big contribution?" Tianjiu and Tuobatian were both stunned, not knowing what Tantai was going to say.
"Tianjiu, if I guess correctly, you are the cloaked man who killed two monks in the middle stage of foundation building, right?" Tantai asked meaningfully.
"That's right! I killed those two people!"
"You also took those magic weapons and their treasure bags away?"
"Not bad! Those are my trophies!"
“Hiss—!” Upon hearing these words, there was a gasp in the hall.
"Very good! Third Elder, aren't you looking for someone to spy? This Tianjiu has extraordinary strength. Although he looks like a Qi Refining disciple, he is not inferior to the mid-stage Foundation Establishment monks at all. Not only did he kill two mid-stage Foundation Establishment monks,
, and this time he single-handedly killed the third-order cloud-winged shark that everyone was afraid of. He is very scheming and will definitely be qualified for the role of spy. If he can complete this mission, wouldn’t it be a great blow to our Dong Cang Tian?
A big contribution?" Tantai said passionately.
"Huh?!" Tuobatian's eyes also lit up, he glanced at Tianjiu and Tantai, and nodded slightly. "That's right, Tianjiu, if you complete this mission, not only can I send you back, I can also give you
Great rewards, such as Yuan Ning Dan!"
"What mission?" Tianjiu sneered. He knew very well that it must be a narrow escape mission, otherwise it would be impossible for a non-disciple like him to complete it.
