Unknowingly, it was getting dark and night was falling. Yang Ji and others had made a decision and began to wait silently. Tian Junwen had not yet appeared, and everyone began to feel a little anxious.
"Should we send someone to find Junior Brother Tian?"
Zhao Hua suddenly said:
"It's been almost a day. Logically speaking, even if others don't come, Brother Tian should come."
"Just wait a little longer."
Pan Chen said hesitantly.
"Junior brother Tian is a sensible person and has always been reliable in his work. I have been with him for so long and he has never made any mistakes. The reason why he hasn't come yet must have his own reasons. I believe he will not delay everyone.
It's about this. Junior brother, what do you think?"
Pan Chen suddenly looked at Yang Jidao who was standing aside.
Pan Chen had long noticed that Yang Ji was sitting there with his knees in his arms, silent and thoughtful. This action was basically led by him. Although Yang Ji's qualifications and seniority were not as good as for the time being.
They, but in their hearts, everyone valued Yang Ji's opinion very much.
After hearing Pan Chen's words, everyone looked over.
"What I mean is, without Senior Brother Tian, we will never be able to set off. There is still a lot of time until the time of action. Let's see when the time comes. Hmm?..."
Yang Ji's heart moved, and he suddenly raised his head and looked into the distance.
This sudden move immediately attracted everyone's attention. Almost at the same time, everyone immediately heard something from Yang Ji.
"Boom!"
A huge sound came from the depths of the earth in the distance, as if two huge millstones were moving. However, at first glance, the grass was desolate, but nothing strange could be seen at all.
"It's a mechanism!"
Yang Ji stood up, his eyes narrowed, and he looked into the distance. Since entering here, this was the first time that everyone heard movement within a hundred miles.
"There. Look. Someone is coming out."
Lin Qingyan's heart moved, and she stretched out a green finger and pointed into the distance.
As expected, women still have delicate hearts. Everyone followed Lin Qingyan's hand and saw that the ground was slowly moving to both sides. In the dim night, it was impossible to see it unless you were careful.
"Someone is coming out. Hide quickly."
Yang Ji suddenly said.
The next moment, everyone jumped up, like civet cats, and huddled behind a huge rock. The waist-high withered grass next to it became the best cover.
A faint light of fire shone from the ground, and two figures quickly emerged from underneath with nimble hands and feet. They ducked and immediately stood on the ground.
They were far away and couldn't see their faces clearly. But both of them looked very alert. As soon as they appeared, they immediately looked around carefully, searching for anything suspicious.
The expressions of the five people were slightly condensed, their heads retracted, and their breaths were restrained, so as not to reveal the slightest bit of hidden information.
Soon, it seemed that it was impossible for anyone to come here. The two of them withdrew their gaze, jumped up, and flew away quickly under the night...
"They are heading towards Tieguan Mountain."
When Yang Ji saw the direction they were leaving, his pupils shrank:
"It seems that their discussions have come to fruition. These two people are probably going to investigate the two evil masters I killed."
"oh?"
Zhao Hua's pupils shrank, and there was a deep chill in his eyes: "If this is the case, then we can't keep them."
"Don't worry yet."
Pan La quickly grabbed Zhao Hua, thought for a moment and said, "Let them go."
"Um?"
Zhao Hua was surprised. Yang Ji also looked back.
"Don't make trouble. Let's take action tonight. No matter what they find out, it will have no impact on us. There is no need to take risks for them. In this kind of wilderness, how do you know that we can capture the two of them without fail?"
Pan Chen said.
Zhao Hua hesitated for a moment and finally nodded.
Upon seeing this, Yang Ji silently withdrew his gaze. Pan Chen had the same idea as him. But now that Pan Chen had said it, there was no need for him to say any more.
Time passed, and after the minor cold, there was a deep chill in the winter night.
In the darkness, five people sat cross-legged on the ground, motionless as if they were statues. The matter was serious, and this operation would involve great risks. No one dared to be careless, and they all made their own preparations silently.
"After this operation is over, we can almost try to attack Xiao Zhoutian."
Yang Ji leaned against the rock, regulating the blood in his body, and had many thoughts in his mind.
There are ten realms in martial arts, and after the Blood Furnace is "Little Zhou Tian". Yang Ji's martial arts has reached the peak of the Blood Furnace realm, and the next step is to attack "Little Zhou Tian".
The human body is mysterious and has many acupoints. "Xiao Zhoutian" is one of the thirty-six "important acupoints".
These thirty-six acupoints are congenitally connected into a ring, and when they are opened, a "circulation" can be formed, which is called "Little Zhoutian".
This is also the origin of the name of the fifth level of martial arts. Any warrior who has penetrated this realm has incredible abilities. Even if he is sitting, lying and walking, even if he does not practice, the spiritual energy of heaven and earth will flow in.
Moreover, the thirty-six acupuncture points circulate continuously and can emit huge suction force, sucking in the spiritual energy between heaven and earth. Its power is comparable to that of a fourth-level martial artist.
A strong person at the fifth level of martial arts has dense blood and energy. When he stands there, his blood energy becomes lead, and he cannot be blown away by strong winds and waves. It is because of this ability.
However, the key points of the human body are no small matter.
These thirty-six acupoints are extremely difficult to open, and when they are impacted, they will put a huge burden on the body. If you are reckless, you will not only fail, but will also cause great harm to the body, damage the meridians, and impact the blood vessels.
Therefore, although Yang Ji had already had the strength to attack "Little Zhou Tian", he did not rush into action, but kept nourishing the meridians and blood vessels in his body with blood energy.
"Buzz!"
The blood energy circulated over and over again. After an unknown amount of time, Yang Ji finally opened his eyes and looked up at the sky. The night was deep and there were only a few stars. Most of the stars had moved to the west above his head.
The knowledge of astrology came to Yang Ji's mind, he made some calculations secretly, and frowned: "It's already midnight."
Unknowingly, it was already late at night. Yang Ji glanced around. It was dark and dark, with only the vast grass swaying in the wind. There was a whistling sound, but Tian Junwen was still missing.
"Just wait, I believe he will definitely appear."
Pan Chen's voice came from the darkness, and he woke up at some point. Although he said these words, Yang Ji also felt a hint of anxiety from his voice.
"At most one and a half hours, it's time to take action. If Senior Brother Tian is not here yet, we must take action."
Yang Jidao. More than an hour has passed since Zishi, which is when people are feeling sleepy and it is easiest to relax their vigilance.
Warriors don't need that much sleep, but they can easily relax their vigilance.
"Um."
Pan Chen nodded.
An hour and a half passed quickly, and before you knew it, it was the agreed time to start. But Tian Junwen was still nowhere to be seen.
Everyone was secretly anxious.
Yang Ji looked at the time, it was almost time, and finally said: "Let's start taking action!"
Although Yang Ji also hoped that Tian Junwen and his people could arrive in time, everyone had to prepare to fight without other reinforcements.
"Wait a minute!"
Just when everyone was about to take action, Pan Chen suddenly shouted.
"Wait a minute!"
Almost at the same time, Lin Qingyan also shouted.
"Um?"
Yang Jijian raised his eyebrows and turned around.
"Yang Ji, look what's over there? Senior Brother Tian is here, and he really brought people here."
Lin Qingyan looked into the distance and said excitedly.
Yang Ji looked in the direction of Lin Qingyan's finger, and saw in the dim starlight in the distance, a few tall figures appeared under a big tree hugged by one person at some time, looking around. It seemed like they were looking for something.
They were a bit far apart and couldn't see clearly. But the iron crowns on their heads were extremely obvious in the night.
"Senior Brother Tian. It's really him!"
Yang Ji was overjoyed.
He didn't know a few other people, but Tian Junwen's figure was still very familiar to him.
"call!"
Yang Ji swayed his robe, stood on tiptoe, and flew away from behind the rock. In front of him, Lin Qingyan and Pan Chen moved even faster.
Walking closer, it turned out to be "Tian Junwen". He was accompanied by several people, all masters of the Iron Crown Sect. Their blood was like lead, exuding a powerful smell.
"Sorry, I'm late."
As soon as Tian Junwen saw the five people, he immediately came up to them and said apologetically.
"Good guy, we almost thought you weren't coming."
Pan Chen walked over and patted Tian Junwen hard on the shoulder. He had the most confidence in Tian Junwen, but he almost lost his confidence.
"It's a long story..."
Tian Junwen quickly told what happened.
Sure enough, Tian Junwen's misfortune after he left was revealed by everyone. At first, Tian Junwen did gather a group of people, and they all thought they had discovered traces of evil.
However, when Tian Junwen said that there was an evil lair nearby, many people immediately began to suspect. Tian Junwen was an honest person, so he told everything he heard from Yang Ji.
Although everyone had some faith in Tian Junwen and others, they had no faith in Yang Ji. How could a Blood Furnace Realm disciple believe in one side or the other, especially when he actually said that there was a lair of evil disciples within easy reach of Tieguan Mountain.
The people summoned by Tian Junwen dispersed on the spot. The remaining people also felt that this was the nonsense of a Blood Furnace Realm disciple and found some excuses to evade it.
Tian Junwen defeated all his efforts and finally found these three people.
"That's probably what happened."
After Tian Junwen finished speaking, he looked guilty.
"Haha, I don't know what other people are like. But I'm here for your sake, my junior brother."
Just as he was talking, a young man holding a white paper fan suddenly stepped out. He tied the white paper fan in his hand and nodded at Yang Ji, smiling.
Yang Ji was stunned and didn't react at first. When he saw the face and the white paper fan clearly, he immediately whispered:
"Xu Ziyi!"
Yang Ji didn't expect that one of the people Tian Junwen brought back was actually "Xu Ziyi" whom he had met once.
When Yang Ji came back from killing the poisonous golden toad, he was in trouble with Wang Chaoming, and it was Xu Ziyi who came to the rescue.
"Haha, junior brother still remembers me. That means my trip was not in vain."
Xu Ziyi said with a smile on her face.
"It turns out you really know each other."
Tian Junwen looked at the two of them with a look of surprise. When Xu Ziyi first found him, he didn't believe it. Now he finally believes it.
Yang Ji just smiled and then said: "It's almost time, although the number of people is a little less than expected. But nine people are enough."
"I will tell you the action plan. Then everyone will start taking action."
"Qiang!"
Yang Ji slapped the scabbard, and the long sword flew out and landed in his hand. Yang Ji used the light of the flame-avoiding beads to draw an action plan on the ground, then roughly said it once and started taking action. (To be continued.
