Jiang Feng was meditating in the small room of the beast ship, thinking about the target of the auction, but suddenly felt that the speed of the beast ship slowed down sharply. Mobile version::
Arrived early?
Like many monks in the cabin, he couldn't help but open the heavy curtains of the portholes and look around, but he only saw the sky full of stars and the Milky Way like a curtain. Looking at the ground from a distance, there was no light on the dark fields. This was obviously an inaccessible place.
of the wild.
Soon, an errand boy from the beast ship came over to inform that due to the special weather conditions ahead, the beast ship would land nearby and make a temporary stop here. It was recommended that everyone stay where they were and wait for news of re-departure.
What's going on?
It had only been two hours since we boarded the ship in Nanyang City of the Yufeng Sect. What could have happened? Because of the weather? There was not even a single cloud on the sky. How could this be possible? Even if
Jiang Feng, who was riding the beast ship for the second time, also felt that this reason was a bit far-fetched and could not believe it.
Yu Xiaoman and Yu Xiaozheng came uninvited, but there was nothing unusual about their expressions. "Do you know the reason?" Jiang Feng asked Yu Xiaoman. She must have been doing business around Li Zong, and it was common for her to ride on a beast ship.
Maybe you will know something inside.
"Uncle Qi is making inquiries." Yu Xiaoman said quietly. She did not explain who Yu Chengke would ask and how. "But it must not be because of the weather. Unless there is a large-scale thunderstorm, otherwise
The beast ship travels rain or shine and never stops."
As she was talking, Yu Chengke arrived.
"There was a fight between monks ahead near Wuling City. It is said to be due to the chaos within the Yufeng Sect. Mu Qianxue collaborated with the three southeastern cities to rebel, and Xu Youjing led people to fight fiercely with them." What he said was not detailed, but the reason why the beast ship stopped was
It is already clear that he must have communicated with well-informed people through special means.
"What do you know about Mu Qianxue?" Yu Chengke turned to look at Jiang Feng. He saw Jiang Feng enter Stormrage Canyon, so it was common sense to meet Mu Qianxue in the valley.
"I..." Jiang Feng wanted to say that he didn't know anything, but there seemed to be no need to lie about it, "I didn't fight against Mu Qianxue, I just met her a few times. The quality of the magic weapon in her hand was very good, and she also
He has some attainments in formations."
"Ling Feidu is with him?"
"You can think so." Mu Qianxue was very concerned about Ling Feidu's safety. Otherwise, Jiang Feng thought that he would not have the elixir "Building Phase and Energizing Qi Pill" to repair the Dharma's appearance.
"Okay, I understand." Yu Chengke turned around and went out. After burning the incense, as the beast ship stopped, he appeared in front of the three of them again and explained: "Don't run around, this is the Wind Control Sect.
I'll go back to my territory." After saying that, he quietly walked around the guards and servants of the beast ship, moved a few times, and disappeared into the night.
"He ran away by himself."
Yu Xiaozheng waited for him to go away and complained in a low voice that the area here is very remote. There is only an abandoned village not far away. There are only ruins and ruins, and there is no shelter at night. Fortunately, the owner of the beast ship took a lot of them.
Free spiritual fruit ingredients came out to appease everyone, and there were many business travelers on the boat. They were not pretentious about the temporary stop, and no one came up to bother with the reason for the stop. For a while, everyone only made noise for a while, and then became quiet again.
There were only some people who were familiar with each other, sitting around the campfire and whispering about their past experiences.
Jiang Feng did not run around. He found a shelter from the wind with Yu Xiaozheng and Yu Xiaoman, cast a few cleaning charms, and waited for the notification of the restart of the beast ship. Yu Xiaoman seemed to be worried and didn't say much, but Yu Xiaozheng was in good condition.
From time to time, Jiang Feng found some topics to talk about. While dealing with it, Jiang Feng released his shadow and headed straight for the ruins of the deserted city. Being in a foreign land, he was vaguely curious whether this place was naturally abandoned.
There was not a single human figure in the ruins. Most of the passengers of the beast ship stayed where they were. Only a few idle people came to relieve themselves before, but then no one came. Shadows walked freely between the ruins without deliberately avoiding them. The colors of the broken masonry were old.
, the weeds in many places are already several feet high, and there are old dead branches and leaves. The place has been abandoned for many years.
Among the ruins, there are occasionally abandoned farming tools, a few broken objects of chariots, and ancient wells blocked by rubble. It can be seen that most of the residents of this deserted city made a living by planting in the past, and there may also be spiritual springs nearby.
The existence of human beings, and the reason for its desolation, is probably that the spiritual spring has dried up, or the monks stationed nearby have left, which will lead to unsustainable production and a bleak future.
What a pity.
Jiang Feng remembered that he had considered establishing a small spiritual vein and then opening up a cave. This matter had never been possible because of the lack of corresponding spiritual stones and manpower. Now, in the context of the construction of the four counties and Luochuan, the original sixty
Yucun Town is losing people at a visible rate. Although this is expected, with the rapid desertion of most villages and towns, ordinary people are forced to gather in counties with higher cost of living. It is not a good thing. Then
It will cause a lot of difficulties in ordinary life, which will lead to chaos, as well as a decrease in the number of people born, and the decrease in the number of people will also bring about a lack of successors for monks.
It should be a relatively reasonable arrangement to maintain a dozen market towns of a certain size and with different characteristics. However, it is difficult to achieve this by relying solely on the existing resource investment. After much thought, we still have to rely on Xiaolingmai and
To maintain the popularity of Dongfu, this matter cannot be avoided. Except for a few villages and towns with mineral resources, this is the only way of thinking.
After the auction, this matter must be put on the agenda. Building more caves will also give spiritual-level monks a place to practice with peace of mind. Especially for monks with average qualifications, those caves that only rely on the modification of the Luochuan Formation.
It is completely unable to cover ordinary spiritual level monks.
Just as he was thinking about it, he felt a gust of fishy wind coming from the distance. His shadow quickly hid in the shadow of the ruins, only to see two monks fall to the ground in embarrassment. One of them was wearing a brocade robe, and his face could not be seen clearly.
There was only one arm left, and his aura was very disordered. He seemed to be a Xuan-level cultivator. A long sword was stuck randomly on his waist, and he didn't even have time to put it into his storage bag. He was carrying a monk in black on his back.
The fruit was dripping with blood, and all of it was broken off without knowing where to go. He held a red nameless fruit in his hand, oozing red juice, which continued to pour into the body of the monk in black, seeming to replenish the blood that had been lost in his legs.
"Yufeng, please leave quickly. Don't worry about me. Zhao Quanhe can't hold them off for long." He was carefully placed on the ground by the sword-wielding monk, and he persuaded him immediately.
"No," the man holding the sword flatly refused, "As long as there is still a glimmer of hope, we should not give up. They will definitely pursue Jindu City. We will take the route of Nanyang City, and they will probably not pursue us."
"The monk who walked on fire had really weird pursuit methods. Who knows who he is?" The black-clothed monk sighed, "Maybe Jindu City is also in a sea of fire now. I'm worried that the leader is in danger."
"Brother Xu, don't think so much. The leader is a pseudo-celestial monk and will not fall so easily." The sword-wielding man swallowed several pills in succession, carefully felt the breath of the wind, and looked at the ruins from a distance.
There was a fire outside, "I noticed there were people nearby when I came here. Now it seems that there aren't many monks among them. Shall I go and check it out?"
"No, don't be exposed easily. Just rest here. After I recover a little, I can use Blood Escape again and we can approach Nanyang City. By then, you and I will be safe."
"Absolutely not. With your body like this, if you perform Blood Escape again, your cultivation level will fall, or your body will be destroyed on the spot. We still have to think of other ways. I see that there seems to be a beast ship staying near the bonfire.
Maybe you and I can leave on the beast ship. If there are healing monks on the ship, we can find a way to heal your and my injuries first, otherwise it may be difficult to recover if we delay for a long time."
"Beast ship?"
The monk with the broken leg's eyes lit up and immediately lost his energy, "I encountered a beast ship here and it is still staying. It must be to avoid our fight just now. The direction should be to Xiaoting City. Near Xiaoting City is Lianchi City. The Ling family moved their entire family.
When we get there, if you and I go forward, won’t it be like a sheep falling into a tiger’s mouth?”
"Will the Ling family openly join the rebel party?"
"Originally I wouldn't, but after today's battle, I will most likely stand up and cheer for him."
Speaking of this, the two of them were silent for a long time. One was disabled and the other was seriously injured. The two of them had difficulty moving, and they couldn't use blood escape, nor could they ride on the beast ship. They were in a dilemma for a while. Fortunately, they should have avoided the pursuers, and their lives would be saved in the short term.
It should be safe, but if it takes a long time, the condition of the two people's injuries is not optimistic.
Li Yufeng?
Just as the shadow was about to leave, the sword-wielding monk fired a few cleansing talismans. Through the faint light of the talisman, Jiang Feng recognized one of the people. This sword-wielding Xuan-level monk was the one who negotiated peace with Hanshan Sect.
At that time, there was Li Yufeng, whom we had met once.
Yes, Li Yufeng is also a monk of the Yufeng Sect, but he didn't expect that he would also be involved in tonight's battle. But it sounds like he was defeated, and defeated miserably. In other words, Mu Qianxue won?
Jiang Feng thought for a while, and the shadow continued to hide, but the main body stood up, "I'm going to relieve myself." He stood up, just as Yu Xiaozheng was in the middle of a conversation with another monk who came over to chat, and ignored him, only Yu
Xiao Man glanced suspiciously, but didn't say anything. He just turned his head away and looked at the dark distant mountains.
Walking through the knee-high grass, Jiang Feng deliberately kicked gravel along the way, making a loud noise, and approached the ruins. When his figure was blocked by a broken wall, he ducked and moved quickly, occupying an accessible area.
retreat position.
"Brother Yufeng, can you come out and see me?"
The two people hiding in the dark were shocked, and Li Yufeng's scalp was numb. He was silent for a moment. Seeing that the visitor had no intention of leaving, he emerged from the ruins and caught a glimpse of Jiang Feng's figure.
"I'm Jiang Feng, the head of the Qianshan Sect, Brother Yufeng, there's no need to worry."
"Is it you?" Li Yufeng stood up from the ruins, holding a sword in his right hand to support his body, but he did not dare to show any weakness.
"It seems you are in some trouble, do you need help?"
Jiang Feng deliberately emphasized the word "you" and threw out a "Baopu Shengji Pill", which was an earth-level pill obtained from Chu Anlan. It should be very useful for the monk with a broken leg.
, due to the weak aura and deliberate hiding, Jiang Feng could not tell the cultivation level of his opponent, but he guessed that to be able to escape from Mu Qianxue's pursuit, there should be at least one earth-level monk among the two, and Li Yufeng was obviously
no.
"Um?"
Even the Xuan-level Li Yufeng didn't recognize the elixir. He also heard the hidden meaning in Jiang Feng's words. Knowing that the two of them had been exposed, he stopped covering it up and said, "Brother Xu, come and see if this elixir is useful?"
"
"Your friend?"
There was a sound of "?" in the darkness, and a glimmer of light appeared. The hidden person seemed to be identifying the pill, "You actually have Baopu Shengji Pill, which is very good, thank you! It's a pity that only I can take this pill.
Yufeng, you can only find another way."
"It's okay, Master Jiang, thank you very much." Li Yufeng became much less defensive, "Why are you here?"
"I went to Xiaoting City to attend the Auction of the Righteous Alliance, and the beast ship stopped here. It must be because of you, right?"
"Ashamed!" Li Yufeng didn't want to say more, but just sighed, "Do you have any treatment methods? Or do you know if there are any healing monks on the beast ship?"
Jiang Feng does have a "Soul-Warming Wood Spirit Golden Oak" obtained from the golden elixir monk Yan Shujia. It has a certain therapeutic effect, but on the one hand, this thing is only useful to the monks who refine the magic weapon. On the other hand, it is a human magic weapon.
Moreover, it was not easy to change the system, and he did not want to expose his connection with the human monks. Therefore, there was nothing he could do to help Li Yufeng's request.
"Shall I ask?"
"Forget it." Li Yufeng felt that safety was the first priority. He clearly felt that Xu Youjing's aura behind him had become calmer, which showed that the elixir provided by Jiang Feng was very effective. Just as he was hesitating, Xu Youjing behind him spoke.
"My Excellency Xu Youjing, thank you Master Jiang for your help today. I will be richly rewarded in the future." His recovery seems to be better than Li Yufeng imagined, but his broken leg seems to be unsolved in a short time.
"You're welcome, you're welcome, it's easy."
Jiang Feng only came here with the attitude of making friends. It was good to achieve such an effect. He was about to chat for a few words and get to know each other better when he heard a distant horn sound, which was a signal that the beast ship was about to set off again.
Secretly thinking that the good relationship was almost complete, he said goodbye to the two of them, carefully passed through several broken walls, secretly met up with the shadow, and flew towards the beast ship in three steps and two steps at a time.
"Is this person reliable?" After Jiang Feng left, Xu Youjing asked from behind the broken wall.
"Fortunately. We have had some contacts before. As a small sect of the Qianshan Sect, they will not interfere with Mu Qianxue's affairs." Li Yufeng thought of Li Xianwu's old affairs. Not long ago, there was a letter sent by him to the Nuan of the Qianshan Sect.
Gu County, according to the spies' report, he has been put into important use by Jiang Feng and is now serving as the guard of Nuangu County.
"Let's rest for a while and rush to Nanyang City immediately. Then we will rush to Lizhou City of Li Zong. I remembered that I have an old friend's son in Lizhou City. Maybe he can help us find a suitable healing monk."
"Okay!" Li Yufeng looked at the beast ship that was gradually going away. After Xu Youjing's injury no longer worsened, he felt a lot more at ease. This battle in Wuling had suffered heavy losses. He estimated that even if he returned to Jindu City, he would still be injured.
If you are impeached by those old guys, your position will probably not be saved, but with Xu Youjing's help, you may be able to come back after just two years of dormancy. : :
Of course, the premise of all this is that the Yufeng Sect is still there, and Xu Youjing is worried about Jindu City. How can he not be worried that all his family members have been forced to stay in Jindu City for the sake of this official position?
Jiang Feng got on the beast ship, but did not find Yu Chengke's figure. It was not until the ship traveled for half an hour that Yu Chengke came with a flying sword, got on the beast ship, and asked Yu Xiaoman and the others if they had found anything.
abnormal.
"No, only Jiang Feng left for a moment, we have always been together." Yu Xiaozheng betrayed Jiang Feng with one word without any thought, and Yu Chengke couldn't help but cast an inquiring look.
"I just went there for convenience. The spiritual food provided by this beast ship is free, so I ate a bit too much." Jiang Feng pretended to be embarrassed and said, but felt a wave of resentment mixed with hunger coming from his arms. It should be his apprentice Jiang Cheng
son.
"No other findings?"
"No, nothing." Jiang Feng said nonchalantly, meeting Yu Xiaoman's gaze. She actually knew that she had nothing to eat, but she didn't seem to have any intention of exposing herself.
Jiang Feng never dared to confess Li Yufeng. God knows what Yu Chengke had just done. If he had just shown his kindness to Mu Qianxue, his efforts would have been in vain and he might have been dragged down.

In the distant Jindu City, another war is reaching a stalemate.
