It was not surprising that several elders knew that they had arrived in Pingchuan City and Yang Ji had arrived. The Iron Crown Sect had many overt or covert forces outside to help collect information. Naturally, they included Pingchuan City.
As soon as he appeared in Pingchuan City, Elder Zhang and the others already knew about it. That's why they were able to send the falcon in time to deliver the message to him.
Yang Ji was just hesitant to tell Elder Zhang about his defeat of the Skeleton Ghost King and his entry into the underworld. After all, this matter was not completely impeccable. At least, the people in the Imperial Yellow Fang Fleet saw him coming out of the underworld.
But Yang Ji thought about it and let it go.
"The Yellow Fang Fleet is a force of the royal family and will not be mobilized easily. It does not have much interaction with the local government. They may not notice me. But the mysterious ghost mansion and the evil martial saint behind it... this matter
The matter is no small matter. To the elders and others, it is just a trivial matter. Maybe it is just a casual question, but to me, it is a major matter of life and death."
Yang Ji thought about it and decided to hide it.
"I took the Tongsheng Examination in Pingchuan City, and I still have some friends there. I felt uneasy, so I went to check it out."
Yang Ji said simply.
"oh."
Elder Zhang did not ask in detail, nodded, frowned, and looked worried:
"It's good that you're back. This time our Iron Crown Sect suffered a great disaster. Among all the sects, we were the most severely damaged."
Elder Zhang looked helpless. Those evil spirits, yakshas, and rakshasas from the underworld were not sent to the Iron Crown Sect. This time, all the factions suffered some losses. But the Iron Crown Sect is indisputably the closest to the Wanfen Ridge in the northwest.
fact.
So it is understandable that the injury was serious.
"The Iron Crown Sect cannot go for the time being. There are corpses of underworld creatures everywhere, accumulating together, and now a zombie plague has occurred. The imperial court has sent military doctors to deal with the matter."
"Corpse Plague?"
Yang Ji looked at the elders in the cave in surprise.
"Yes, Yang Ji. Shan'men' is the foundation of the sect. If it hadn't been for the outbreak of corpse plague, do you think we would still be here now?"
Elder Xing nodded, with a worried look on his face.
"Those things in the underworld are originally corpses. If they are ordinary corpses, that's it. We in martial arts have strong bodies and are not afraid at all. But these evil ghosts, yakshas, and rakshasas contain a lot of underworld energy, corpse energy, and yin."
'Some of the turbid air is often soaked in the underworld's yellow springs. I'm afraid that even us warriors can't resist these corpses."
Elder Zhang is worried:
"I have found some powerful disciples to burn the corpses in the north. However, there are too many corpses and it will not be completed in a while. We will have to wait at least three or four months at Tieguan Mountain for all the corpse gas and poisonous gas to disperse.
You can go in after that.”
Yang Ji lowered his head and remained silent. After killing these underworld creatures, Yang Ji did not expect that there would be so many troubles. In other words, Tieguan Mountain could not stay for the time being.
Several elders were obviously afraid that they would break into the Iron Crown Mountain rashly, so they sent the sect's liaison officer Ying Falcon to inform them. After all, under normal circumstances, they would have gone straight to the Iron Crown Mountain.
"Yang Ji, give me this. We just received it not long ago."
Elder Zhang stretched out five thin fingers. He held a piece of paper between his fingertips and handed it over.
"Official paper?"
Yang Jijian raised his eyebrows, a little surprised. The note in Elder Zhang's hand was obviously exquisitely crafted, timeless, and as smooth as water. There were also some tiny watermarks on the paper, which you couldn't find unless you looked carefully.
——This is clearly an official paper circulated within the imperial court. This kind of paper is much better than what is sold on the market, and it is usually stamped with an official stamp. Generally, it is strictly prohibited to sell it, and it only circulates within the government.
"You are a martial arts scholar in high school this time. This is a big event. We were originally going to help you get the reward for the martial arts examination. However, this incident has delayed it. In addition, there is a general in the imperial court who wants to see you.
You...you will know after just one look."
Elder Zhang glanced at the note in Yang Ji's hand and said.
"Wang Tai?"
Yang Ji glanced at it, slightly interested.
Externally, this kind of official news is conveyed through homing pigeons or falcons. Because the note is small, it often cannot convey many words. It is basically special to be concise and concise.
Wang Tai didn't say anything in the letter. He just said that he was about to leave Langya County. He hoped to see him again before leaving. There were some things he wanted to explain to himself.
"This General Wang is very fond of you."
Elder Xing smiled and said. He had a good impression of General Wang Tai. If he hadn't been in control of this disaster in the underworld and formulated a response strategy strictly, the casualties would have been huge.
"Also, I have some good news for you. Yang Xuanlan, the consort of Chaoyang who has always been at odds with you, has also left Langya County. He should have received an order from the imperial court. It has been quite some time."
Elder Zhang moved and changed into a comfortable position in the sandalwood chair brought out from Tieguanshan. He smiled and said. Tieguanshan is indeed important, but the most important thing is that there is a promising disciple under the sect who can greatly contribute to the 'sect'.
Send a long face.
The more he looked at Yang Ji, the more he liked him.
"Anyway, General Wang has something to ask you. Just go to Langya County and meet him. By the way, you can collect Wu Xiucai's reward. That will be of great benefit to you."
"Thank you two elders for your love. Yang Ji understands."
Yang Jicheng said, bowing as he spoke. Yang Xuanlan had actually left Langya County, which really surprised Yang Ji. But thinking about it, judging from the time he left, it should have happened to be that he was in the Demon Suppressing Formation.
When leaving madly.
Yang Xuanlan has always been arrogant, but this time he lost the essence and blood of the Great Asura to himself underground. With his temperament, Langya County will definitely not be able to stay any longer.
Youdao is a scholar who was very impressed after seeing each other for three days. In the past, when Yang Xuanlan was sitting in Langya City, Yang Ji really didn't dare to go there rashly. But now, after they have actually met, I really don't know who is afraid.
who.
But there is no need to explain these in detail to the elders.
After bidding farewell to the elders, Yang Ji turned around and left the cave.
Things in Langya County have not yet been completely settled, and the new Langya General appointed by the court has not yet arrived. Yang Ji knows that Wang Tai will not leave Langya County for the time being.
"I'm afraid I'll spend less and less time with Senior Brother Pan and Senior Brother Zhao in the future."
Yang Ji thought to himself.
His strength is getting higher and higher, and the Iron Crown Sect is no longer suitable for him. Yang Ji knows it in his heart. Just like he stayed in Jin'an City and Pingchuan City for a short time, he is afraid that he will leave the Iron Crown Sect soon.
——This is the only way for every warrior to become powerful.
Everyone has their own path, and Yang Ji knew in his heart that Zhao Hua, Pan Chen, Lin Qingyan and others might have to stay in the Iron Crown Sect for a while.
Even if the bottleneck is broken in the future, I am afraid that everyone will take different paths in the future. The time for everyone to get together is getting shorter and shorter.
So Yang Ji did not leave for Langya City immediately. He stayed in these mountains for three more days.
"So, after the things here are over, you are going to leave for Zhoufu?"
A large group of people sat in a circle. Lin Qingyan put down the tea cup in her hand and looked at Yang Ji with a sigh. The expressions of the others were similar.
No one thought that Yang Ji would leave the Iron Crown Sect so soon. Thinking about it, Yang Ji actually only joined the Iron Crown Sect for a few years.
Everyone has watched Yang Ji grow up almost all the way.
"Um."
Yang Ji nodded. There is no such thing as a feast that lasts forever. This is the case with Wang Xian and others. It is also the same with Zhao Hua and others. This can be regarded as a farewell in advance:
"The opportunity is rare. The martial arts examination is held every three years. If I miss this time, I will have to wait for another three years. No matter what, I have to go."
Yang Ji's eyes were unusually bright. This was his path and he had to go on it.
"It's so emotional. I didn't expect you to leave much earlier than us."
Zhao Hua patted Yang Ji on the shoulder. Of all the people, he and Yang Ji were enemies rather than friends at the beginning. From the initial ambush halfway to the current fight side by side, the relationship between the two has been unknowingly
It goes beyond the initial interest relationship.
"Junior brother, don't get me wrong. We are not feeling sad. We are all happy for you. One of us is so promising. He can leave the Iron Crown Sect so quickly, and everyone's faces will be happy. This is a good thing."
Yang Ji smiled and looked at everyone's reddish eye circles. He couldn't help but be moved in his heart. Although they were together for various reasons at first, as they got along slowly, Yang Ji truly regarded them as his senior brothers.
My friends and brothers.
"Before I leave, I don't have anything to give you. Here are a few flying swords that I got by chance. I'll give them to you."
Yang Ji said as he took out a few flying swords of the sixth level of martial arts from the Naji bottle. The flying swords of the seventh level of martial arts are not enough for everyone at their current level. The sixth level is enough.
The six flying swords were drawn out, and the sunlight was shining. Compared with other flying swords, they were obviously several levels higher.
"this……"
Everyone looked at Yang Ji and was surprised. These flying swords looked good at first glance, and they were also top-notch. Lin Qingyan and others also had their own swords, and their grades were not low. But they were spread out on the ground with Yang Ji.
Compared with these flying swords, they are obviously not on the same level, as if they are as different as clouds and mud.
"Haha, I still have a lot of these things."
Yang Ji explained with a smile.
"clang!"
Lu Wu stretched out the handle, reached out and flicked it. Listening to the sound quality from the sword, he praised it: "It is indeed a good sword, so we are welcome."
"Why bother if you are one of our own?" Yang Ji said with a smile.
Yang Ji never lied. Since he had told many lies, of course there were. Knowing this, everyone was not polite to him. One person picked one and gently rubbed it several times. They couldn't put it down.
.
Everyone's vision was good. The general-level flying sword that Yang Ji took out was considered a luxury item even for their level. Having such a sharp weapon would be extremely beneficial to their ability.
"Actually, I'm going to leave after this incident is over."
Putting away his admiration, Pan Chen suddenly said.
"ah?"
There was a lot of surprise around him, and Yang Ji was also greatly surprised, looking at Pan Chen with his eyes.
"Haha. Don't be so surprised, okay?"
Pan Chen looked at everyone, smiled, and drank tea to hide the expression on his face:
"The number of places for martial arts examination candidates is limited, and not everyone can pass the exam. And this time, with the intervention of Marquis Zhongwu, the martial arts examination examination is far more difficult than usual. We can't have so many three or six years to wait.
.There has to be a way out.”
Everyone looked at him with expressions of concern.
