Tang Yue burned 60% of the vines, and they worked together to cut off the rest. Although Tu Wenzhou and Xu Tianwen felt that Tang Yue's fire skills were very good, they were even more surprised by Shang Fanling's killing move.
If you attack people with a sharp thread, they will instantly turn into blood mist, which is really terrifying.
They usually think that Shang Fanling is a quiet, dignified, gentle and beautiful female cultivator. Many male cultivators are fond of her and are thinking about how to express their feelings to her, but no one has thought that she would use this method.
A terrible killing move.
The two of them vowed never to judge people by their appearance again, or just look at appearances, otherwise they would suffer big losses sooner or later.
Tang Yue left a small part of the root system as evidence, and it was best to let the patrol team take it back for investigation. The patrol team also entered the cave, and saw that they were safe and sound, and felt relieved.
The person leading the team said: "You must not take such risks in the future. You should wait for us to come and act together. If something happens to you, we can't explain it to the mountain gate."
The four of them agreed, but what they thought in their minds was that it would depend on the situation. After all, they were still young and still adventurous.
Tang Yue explained the vines to the patrol. They also found several human bones, countless rotten animal carcasses, and plant remnants in the cave.
There were some pieces of clothing on several bones. The patrol team brought the family members of the missing people to identify whether they were the missing people. The family members burst into tears after seeing these clothes, indicating that they were indeed their family members.
Tang Yue discovered that there was another exit in the small cave and said to everyone: "It is possible that some branches of the vines got out from here and multiplied in other places."
The team leader frowned. If the vines in Wuji Mountain are not eliminated as soon as possible, their number will increase, and more and more people in Wuji Mountain will suffer misfortune.
After the nationwide search was completed, not only Tang Yue and his team discovered black vines, but several members of the team were seriously injured, having absorbed a large amount of vitality and yang energy from the vines, and were in critical condition and were receiving emergency treatment.
After Master Xu learned about this situation, he looked solemn and informed the peak masters and family heads to gather to discuss a solution to the vine matter.
"We don't know why this thing appears in Wuji Mountain. At present, we only know that this vine can absorb people's vitality and yang energy. If this thing is allowed to continue to grow, I am afraid it will become more and more difficult to deal with, causing a large number of casualties."
As if to confirm his statement, disciples from Wuji Mountain came to report that the elders responsible for studying the vine in Baicao Garden were attacked and injured, and one disciple died.
This bad news made everyone in the hall look even more solemn.
The head of the Dongfang family asked: "I heard that this object comes from the secret realm of Huoting Valley?"
Headmaster Xu shook his head, "We can't confirm whether he was born from Huoting Valley or was taken to Huoting Valley."
The head of the Tu family asked, "After this thing becomes a disaster, it will cause a lot of trouble. Are other sects targeting our Wuji Mountain?"
"It's not certain yet and needs to be investigated. According to the current statistics of missing persons and casualties, we can say that we discovered it early and this object has not caused much damage yet, but it may not be certain in the future, so I hope you can contribute.
, let’s work together to control the vines in Wuji Mountain.”
Each family agreed. They and Wuji Mountain both prospered and suffered losses. They usually have their own small thoughts, but in major matters they still have to advance and retreat together.
When the meeting was over, Elder Shui stopped the head of the Dongfang family and asked him if he knew that his affiliated family, the Peng family, sent gangsters to harass the shop he was covering.
The captain of the guard punished several local gangsters to work in the mines, and took away a member of the Peng family and imprisoned him for several months. However, this person was a branch of the Peng family, and he was sent to take the blame.
The face of the head of the Dongfang family did not change, "The Peng family actually did such a shameful thing. I will punish them when I go back. Please don't worry, Elder Shui."
Elder Shui didn't expect him to succeed him, but just reminded him, "Thank you very much, Master Dongfang."
"It should."
The head of the Dongfang family did not say much after returning. He just told his wife to restrain the family members. The strange vine incident happened recently. Don't do anything unnecessary, especially don't target the people on Elder Shui's side. If there is an accident, you must also
He helped.
Dongfang Xue's mother knew what her daughter had done, so she told her not to do it again when she got home. It was not appropriate recently.
Dongfang Xuemian was dissatisfied, "I just felt a little uncomfortable and wanted to vent it. I didn't think about what to do."
Her mother advised: "Elder Shui's granddaughter is different from ordinary female cultivators and cannot be manipulated by you. In this case, there is no point in doing those small things."
Dongfang Xue turned to look worried, "The Ji family only has a verbal agreement with our family, there is no exchange of tokens, and there is no contract to prove it. If he wants to change his marriage candidate, what should I do?"
Dongfang Xue's mother also fell silent. There were not many young talents who were of the same age as her daughter and whose family background was similar. Ji's family was familiar with theirs. Ji Chongguang's future was bright. He could not be better as her daughter's husband.
More importantly, she did not give birth to any other legitimate children, and the head of the Dongfang family was not keen on having children, so she and the head of the family only had a daughter, Xue'er, and no bastard. In the future, the heir to the Dongfang family would have to be chosen from several nephews.
, if Xueer's husband had a poorer family background, she would no longer be able to maintain her current status.
Dongfang Xue has been the legitimate daughter of the No. 1 family in Wuji Mountain since she was a child. She is never willing to be the mistress of a middle-class family. If the heir of the Dongfang family is not her biological brother, she is afraid that she will become like the mistress of the Tu family...
…
Let alone people, even if they become immortals or gods, they cannot escape the pursuit of status. Disciples from famous families like the Dongfang family care more about things like being well-matched, but they are not as comfortable as people in Tang Yue's position.
Dongfang Xue's mother comforted her, "Mom will find a way. Elder Shui's grandson is still young. Instead of worrying about her, it's better to guard against other noble girls."
Dongfang Xue knew rationally that what her mother said was right. There were indeed many women aiming at Ji Chongguang's wife. Their family background, qualifications, and looks were all good, and the methods they used were even more ruthless.
But she had an intuition that Ji Chongguang had something unusual about Tang Yue. Maybe it was because she was good at Taoist scriptures and expected to participate in the world competition, so she treated him differently. But this was already very different. Other young people
Female cultivators almost never caught his eye.
That's why Dongfang Xue had the idea of driving Tang Yue out of the academy so that she wouldn't have too many opportunities to get along with Ji Chongguang.
In fact, this is why Dongfang Xue only thinks about Ji Chongguang in terms of men and women. In fact, there are very few male cultivators in his eyes, and he only sees a few outstanding people.
"Mom, can't we really let her leave the school? I won't do anything else to hurt her."
"No, her grandfather is very careful. She herself is still a highly valued talent in the academy, so it is very difficult to deal with her. Xue'er, you have to know that just because our Dongfang family is the first family, we have to be extra cautious in doing things."
Dongfang Xue could only promise her mother not to do unnecessary things.
After she returned to her room alone, the maid just sent a reply from Ji Chongguang. Sure enough, she rejected her invitation again, saying that she was busy with her studies and had no time to do anything else.
But he had time, and from time to time he would go down the mountain to the shop opened by Tang Yue. The servant had met her several times in the town and told her this when he came back.
That's why she went to the Peng family and asked them to find a way to close the shop. She didn't expect the Peng family to be so useless.
If Tang Yue knew about this, he would definitely be filled with questions. Brother Ji loves going to Baixing Shop, couldn't it be because this shop is great? How could it be because of her?
