"I'm afraid there will be a big fight this time. I don't know how many people will be alive after this battle!"
In the patrol hall, Shang Xia listened to the various countermeasures being formulated after everyone's discussion, and then formed a complete set of combat plans. A depressing feeling that a war was imminent arose spontaneously.
However, this depressing atmosphere, instead of making Shang Xia feel timid, actually made him feel excited from the inside out.
After Shang Xia provided key information to a group of high-level warriors at Tongyou Peak twice, they quickly made a judgment on the trend of Yuejihui and Cangling martial cultivators from Siling Mountain to join forces.
Although there is still no news about Liu Jitang and his team, at this time, everyone in the patrol hall is more determined to win.
No one mentioned the abandonment of Tongyou Peak again.
The protective power of Tongyou Peak will not be weakened, but will likely be strengthened soon.
The captains, deacons, and supervisors who had received the mission all left the patrol hall to arrange the arrangements.
One after another news is sent to Tongyou Academy through extraordinary channels, which is both a report and an urging.
Seeing that he had nothing to do without him, Shang Xia left the patrol hall and prepared to return to the Shang Building to continue practicing.
Although a war may break out at any time, Shang Xia still felt that it was necessary to temporarily hold on to the Buddha's feet, even if it improved a little bit, it would be good.
What's more, he has just advanced to Wuji Realm and started to contact Wuji Realm - no, Liangyi Realm - inheritance. This is the time when his cultivation strength is advancing by leaps and bounds.
Shang Xia did not want to delay at all unless necessary.
Unexpectedly, before the Shang Xia people left the patrol hall, Shang Quan had already chased him in a hurry, and then he was taken back to the patrol hall.
At this time, most of the people in the patrol hall had left, leaving only Ji Wenlong, Shang Ke, Ji Min, Yun Yishu and Shang Bing, the head of the examination department.
"Merchant boy, I heard that you have a mutated bird on your body. Why don't you expose it for us to take a look? Are you still afraid that it will fly away?"
When they met, the director of the merit examination department actually made a joke with him.
Shang Xia was at a loss for a while.
In people's minds, when did the director of the Examination Department, who always had a selfless and solemn image, actually make such a non-vegetarian joke with a student?
Shang Ke reached out to call him over and asked seriously: "The mutant swift you tamed has not been with you for so long. Are you sure it will still listen to you? That bird is very important.
We must not let anything slip at the critical moment, as this may directly affect the subsequent safety of Tongyou Peak."
Shang Xia was stunned for a moment, and then subconsciously said: "I must listen!"
Shang Ke nodded towards Ji Wenlong who was standing above him.
Ji Wenlong said directly: "There is no need for Ji Min to stay. Old Shang, Brother Shang, and Xiaoyun, we will take the young Shang to meet the old swallow for a while."
…………
Siling Mountain is located thousands of miles away from Tongyou Peak in the Two Worlds War Zone.
Unlike the main peak of Tongyou Peak, which is surrounded by several small peaks, Siling Mountain has four peaks of similar size side by side.
These four peaks have been the base for the four bloodline tribes in Cangling Realm to compete with Tongyou Academy in the past twenty years.
This time, Ji Wenlong and others visited Yanling Mountain, the most steep and steep among the Siling Mountains.
For Ji Wenlong, who was able to control the air and volley, the distance of a thousand miles only took half an hour.
For warriors like Shang Ke, Shang Bing, and Yun Yishu who have gathered their martial will, the distance of thousands of miles is enough to reach them in more than an hour.
However, when they were accompanied by Shang Xia, who had just formed the vitality of "Liang Yi", the journey of thousands of miles took almost two and a half hours.
This is because Shang Ke couldn't stand it any longer and started to teach him step by step the light martial arts technique passed down from Shang's lineage - the jagged step!
Otherwise, the time spent by these people on the road may be even longer!
Shang Xia wanted to practice a set of light-weight martial arts. This idea had already come up when he was chased by Yan Ming of the Fengyan tribe.
It wasn't that Shang Xia didn't look for suitable light-body martial arts in the Tibetan Scripture Cave, but he found that the light-body martial arts collected there were simply incomparable with the "Jagged Steps" passed down from the merchant's family.
Generally speaking, martial arts such as lightening one's body are either good at tossing and turning and walking in a dexterous way, or they are good at running over long distances and walking in a swift way.
Of course, there are also options that take care of both.
But in this way, it will be difficult to maximize one of the paths.
"Separate Steps", as a martial art inherited from the merchant's family, was evaluated by Kou Chongxue as the second most dexterous in Tongyou City, second only to the Yun family's "Xianyun Skill".
This evaluation itself has proved that "Jagged Steps" is extraordinary.
In fact, the "Jagged Step" itself also takes into account the swift path. From this point of view, even the Yun family's "Xianyun Jiaqiao" cannot be compared with the "Jagged Step".
With the words and deeds of Shang Ke, a master of martial arts, and the presence of Yun Yishu and Shang Bing, two masters of martial arts, Zang Fu commented on Shang Xia's introductory level in this set of light martial arts.
Quickly, he quickly mastered the basic steps, and his speed also improved significantly, which at least reduced the burden of many martial arts masters.
Of course, Shang Xia's progress in practicing "Jagged Steps" at this time was only limited to the beginning. As the practice continues to deepen in the future, both dexterity and speed will be significantly improved.
It seems that Shang Xia has not practiced much of the martial arts inheritance system passed down by Shang's family since he entered the Wuyuan Realm. This "Jagged Step" is probably the first set of inherited martial arts that he has practiced belonging to Shang.
When they arrived a hundred miles away from Siling Mountain, the group of five people began to concentrate their energy and focus on walking in remote and complex terrain, avoiding the patrolling eyes and ears of Cangling martial arts cultivators.
When there were only the last fifty miles away from Siling Mountain, and the four giant peaks reaching the sky could even be seen from a distance, Ji Wenlong saw five silver-gray martial talismans in his hand at some point, and then distributed them one by one to each of them.
Shang Xia took the silver-gray talisman in his hand, felt the material of the talisman, and found that the thin talisman paper should be made of some kind of soft metal.
He also carefully observed the lines of the talisman drawn on it, but found that the runes on it were far more complicated than what he had mastered so far, and naturally he could not identify the purpose of this talisman.
"This is an invisibility talisman that can hide a person's figure from being easily discovered!"
Shank's voice rang in his ears, and he briefly explained to him the purpose and usage of the invisibility talisman.
Shang Xia followed what others did, first injecting the vitality in his body into the talisman, and then patted the silver-gray talisman on his chest.
As their bodies distorted little by little in the light, the group of four people disappeared one after another.
"This invisibility talisman is only enough for me to use for an hour, so after meeting that old swallow, try to reach an agreement within an hour as much as possible!"
This was the first time in this trip that Shang Xia heard Ji Wenlong speak.
The tone sounded very aggressive at first glance, and it was completely commanding.
If it were Shang Xia, he would probably have to be submissive for a while, not even daring to argue.
However, for Shang Ke and Shang Bing, it seems that they have long been accustomed to Ji Wenlong's way of speaking.
"For an hour, I'm afraid it will be a bit difficult to convince that old woman!"
"It's not like you don't know that that old swallow is very difficult to deal with, and she never lets up on a rabbit. For us to come to see her in such a secretive way shows that we are not confident enough. Why won't she put up a price even if she's dead?"
Ji Wenlong immediately snorted angrily and said, "Then I'll talk to her!"
"Don't!"
"You can pull it!"
The two voices sounded almost in unison. Although Shang Xia could not see it, he could probably guess that Ji Wenlong was disliked by the two at this time, and the expression on his face must be wonderful.
Yun Yishu didn't say anything at this time. Shang Ke and Shang Bing were able to joke with Ji Wenlong, who had always been domineering and serious, because they were of the same generation as him, so as a junior, he naturally couldn't say much.
Just when Shang Xia was thinking wildly, an invisible palm suddenly patted his shoulder, and Yun Yishu's voice came: "Xiao Shang, the next negotiation with that old lady depends on you.
Got it!"
Shang Xia: "..."
The group continued to move forward, avoiding several inspections by Siling Mountain warriors again, and arrived outside a hidden valley closest to Yanling Mountain.
At this time, Ji Wenlong suddenly said: "She has arrived first!"
The moment he finished speaking, a chuckle came from the valley: "Since you guys have already arrived, why don't you come out to meet them? Do you want my old lady to invite you in person?"
Ji Wenlong's figure appeared first and walked towards the valley first.
Shang Xia saw that the silver-gray talisman in his hand was still there, and he must have just removed it from his body.
So Shang Xia also took off the talisman from his chest and found that the talisman was not damaged and could still be used as long as it was attached to his body. However, during this period, the vitality in the talisman was constantly overflowing.
At this time, Shang Ke and Shang Bing had also revealed their figures, following Ji Wenlong as they walked towards the valley.
Only Yun Yishu was nowhere to be seen, and Shang Xia also found that he could not locate Yun Yishu's location at this time.
"You go in first, I'll raid the formation outside!"
Yun Yishu's voice rang in his ears, but Shang Xia didn't even feel the slightest fluctuation of vitality.
This is the secret magical power passed down by the Yun family, and it is also the reason why the head of the Yun family is able to take charge of the World Affairs Department in Tongyou Academy.
Shang Xia calmly put the invisibility talisman in his sleeves and followed Shang Ke and Shang Bing into the valley.
From a distance, I saw a kind-faced old lady standing on the opposite side of the valley.
I saw her holding a crutch that was much taller than her, and looking at the people approaching the valley with a smile on her face.
At this time, Shang Xia's eyes could not help but look behind the old lady.
There was a familiar figure there, looking towards Shang Xia with a gnashing expression on his face.
The two people's eyes met in mid-air, and Shang Xia couldn't help but scream in his heart: Why is this woman here?
