The Fourth Lingshi Financial Crisis

Chapter 324 The Trend of Fire Cloud State

The Red Rock Beast Nature Reserve is also the largest monster nature reserve in Huoyun State.

This nature reserve is located in the central desert of Huoyun State, and in the very center of this nature reserve, that is, at the geometric center of the entire Huoyun State continent, stands a huge red extinct volcano.

Of course, extinct volcanoes are just a term for the civilization of the earth. In the Kyushu cultivation world, there is no distinction between extinct volcanoes and active volcanoes, and there is no concept of "volcano" at all.

This is because although the Kyushu planet is huge, it has no signs of geological activity, so geological disasters such as earthquakes and volcanoes have never occurred.

For this phenomenon, Yang Lu has long felt very strange.

After all, a planet with no geological activity actually has a magnetic field (the wind layer of the nine heavens), and a rocky planet the size of Neptune has the same gravity as the earth. These are serious violations of the laws of natural science summed up by earth civilization.However, considering that Kyushu even has extremely outrageous things such as aura and cultivation, these abnormalities at the level of scientific laws do not seem so eye-catching.

Closer to home.

The relative height difference of this giant extinct volcano in Hongshi Park is 6000 meters, and the surface is always exuding a faint red aura, even reflecting the clouds in the sky into the same color, making the whole sky look like It is as gorgeous as a fire, and today's Huoyun State is named because of this unique scenery.

Although the Red Stone Monster Beast Nature Reserve is named after monsters, the most precious cultivation material produced here has nothing to do with monsters, but a rare ore called Huoyun Jingjin. Metal ore is mined from giant volcanoes, and it is the main material for most of the fire-attributed foundation-building and Jindan stage flying swords.

It is precisely because the Red Stone Nature Reserve has a large amount of precious ore, in order to prevent someone from stealing the assets of the Shenhuo sect, the surrounding area of ​​the reserve is tightly protected by the protection force, and only a few specific entrances and exits are left for the collection of cultivation resources. The Shenhuozong monks came in and out, and sent special personnel to guard them.

It is precisely because of the strict restrictions on access that the nature reserve is sparsely populated. Even if the monks of the Shenhuo Sect want to enter and exit, they still need the permission of the leader of the Shenhuo Sect in charge of Jindanqi, or even the ancestor of Yuanyingqi himself.

However, at the critical period when the trial on the outer battlefield was about to start, in a certain corner of the Red Stone Beast Nature Reserve, seven or eight disciples of the Shenhuo Sect gathered together privately, as if they were plotting something.

If someone takes a closer look, they will find that the uniform cuffs of these Shenhuozong disciples are basically embroidered with a single gold thread, and some even have two gold threads embroidered on their cuffs, which can be seen by practitioners who are familiar with the Shenhuozong hierarchy. It can be seen that these young disciples are not ordinary outer disciples, but inner and direct disciples of Shenhuo Sect.

The gathering of so many elite disciples of the younger generation of the Shenhuo Sect was obviously somewhat unusual.

In fact, these Shenhuozong disciples didn't come here just now, they had held emergency meetings here for several hours in a row, and it seemed that some kind of consensus was not reached until most people became a little impatient.

Since everyone rushed back to the Shenhuozong headquarters in a hurry to prepare for the next trial in the extraterritorial battlefield, the meeting here had just ended, and the participating Shenhuozong disciples drove the light at full speed and rushed towards the exit of the Red Stone Monster Beast Nature Reserve.

However, even the inner disciples of the Shenhuo Sect and the direct disciples have great differences in strength, and the speed of escaping light is even faster and slower. One of them is relatively weak and not proficient in escapism. The eighth-level disciples of the Shenhuo Sect who refined Qi were gradually left behind by other senior brothers.

Seeing the flames of the senior brothers gradually disappearing, this inner disciple named Guan Sanke didn't take the matter to heart, because his mind was full of the task that his senior brother Ai Wen just conveyed to him——

Kill Li Qingning!
Both Guan Sanji and Ai Wen are disciples of Lu Youde, the grand elder of the Shenhuo Sect, but Guan Sanji is just an ordinary inner disciple with a top-grade spiritual root, while Ai Wen has a top-grade spiritual root and is also a direct disciple of Lu Youde.

Although Guan Sanji didn't want to accept any task of assassinating Li Qingning at all, he just wanted to live on the battlefield outside the territory honestly, find some soft persimmons by the way, and engage in murderous and treasure hunting without risk, but he will still work under Lu Youde's family in the future Eat, the task assigned by the Nascent Soul Stage monks is not something he can ignore if he doesn't want to take it.

Not only that, even if he wants to touch the fish, it is very difficult.

According to Senior Brother Ai Wen, there were nearly a hundred monks in the qi refining period who participated in the siege and killing of Li Qingning this time. If you choose to play tricks and not show your face, and then be reported by other people who participated in the siege, it will be troublesome .

However, Guan Sanji is very self-aware, he doesn't think he can beat Li Qingyang's great-granddaughter.

Even among the inner disciples of the seven major sects, his strength is relatively weak. If he meets Li Qingning, who is stronger than the ordinary direct disciples of the seven major sects, isn't it like a chicken wishing a weasel a New Year's call—looking for death?

So what should we do?Why don't you procrastinate for the time first, wait until Li Qingning is almost settled by the other masters, then rush over by yourself, and then explain to the brothers that you accidentally came late because you were delayed on the road?
Although it is suspected of doing bad things like this, at least the safety factor has increased!

Just when Guan Sanji was controlling the escape light and thinking about how he could take Li Qingning's moves, a warning sign suddenly rose in his heart.

Raising his head suddenly, he found that his flight path was directly ahead, and at some point, a giant net made of silver-white ice-attribute aura appeared. This large silver net exudes powerful aura fluctuations. The dangerous intuition that came made the hairs on his back stand on end in an instant.

In desperation, Guan Sanji hastily urged Dunguang to apply an emergency brake, and came to a dangerous stop in front of the big silver net. As long as he reacted a little slower just now, he might be cut into pieces by the big net .

Almost being poisoned, Guan Sanji couldn't help but startled and said angrily: "Who! Who is trying to plot against me!"

Before he finished speaking, a sweet woman in a gorgeous palace dress suddenly appeared beside him, patted him on the shoulder from behind and said, "Junior Guan, why didn't you call me when you came to such a remote place for a meeting?" What about me, sister?"

"You are... Senior Sister Tian Beixi?"

As the most famous beauty cultivator in the Qi refining period of Shenhuo Sect, Tian Beixi can be regarded as an Internet celebrity in the cultivation world of Huoyun Prefecture. Guan Sanji had no chance to talk to Tian Beixi before, and he didn't expect that the other party would even know him. Let him be terrified, and even a little flattered!
It's just that Tian Beixi is obviously Tian Daxiao's direct disciple, how could she know about the secret meeting she attended?

Seeing Guan Sanji's frightened quail-like expression, Tian Beixi showed a cat-and-mouse smile and said: "I have been monitoring your senior brothers for several months. I didn't expect you to be so patient. Three days before the start, we only assigned tasks to everyone, so tell me, what tasks did that guy Ai Wen assign you?"

Guan Sanji showed a smile uglier than crying, and said with a wry smile: "Senior sister, I really don't know what you are talking about?"

Tian Beixi's face darkened in an instant: "You guys entered the Hongshi Nature Reserve for a meeting with Elder Lu Youde's warrant. Could it be that you are full and want to take a walk? Let me ask again, what mission did you receive?"

Tian Beixi's gloomy voice made Guan Sanji take two steps back on the spot in fright: "This is a task assigned by Elder Lu himself, I have already made an oath of heaven, I can't say it no matter what, please forgive me, Senior Sister Tian! "

However, Tian Beixi didn't want to listen to his nonsense anymore.

She grabbed the air with her little hand, and the radiance of the Golden Wheel of Karmic Virtue flashed away behind her, and then she saw that the silver net made of the crystal of cold sky suddenly tightened, covering Guan Sanji from all directions.

Guan Sanji saw Tian Beixi's sudden attack, urging the inner martial arts of the Shenhuo Sect like a conditioned reflex, and the unique natal fire that is unique to the disciples of the Shenhuo Sect quickly emerged from his body surface.

However, the crystal of cold sky was so miraculous that it ignored the real fire of life for three moments as nothing, directly enveloped him, and tied him into a human-shaped rice dumpling on the spot.

Guan Sanji didn't expect that his strongest body protection spell was completely useless.

He hastily exhaled the Flying Sword of Fate to cut off the silk thread formed by the Frost Sky Crystal, but the Frost Sky Crystal seemed to have some kind of unique magical power, which could still hinder the movement of his aura even through the protective energy.As soon as he pulled out half of his natal flying sword, Tian Beixi kicked up without any ladylike image, and stomped his head hard on the ground.

Guan Sanji is an inner disciple of Shenhuo Sect anyway, and his strength is not particularly bad, otherwise he would not have been selected by Lu Youde as a substitute to assassinate Li Qingning.Tian Beixi subdued Guan Sanke so easily, it wasn't that there was such a big difference in strength between the two, but that Tian Beixi knew the details of his junior's methods, but Guan Sanke didn't know the details of Tian Beixi.

If it was someone with a tendency to shake M, it might be a bit of pleasure to be stepped on the ground by a beautiful girl, but Guan Sanji obviously does not belong to this kind of pervert. After realizing that all the mana in his body has been restrained , he couldn't help but exclaimed: "Tian Beixi, you...you dare to do anything to your fellow disciples?"

However, Tian Beixi said indifferently: "Isn't it okay? If you tell the task that Ai Wen entrusted to you, you will only lose some merit. If you don't tell the task that Ai Wen entrusted to you, then you have to die now !"

Guan Sanji said with the eyes of a lunatic: "Senior Sister Tian! You will have to deduct a lot of merit for mutilating your fellow disciples!"

Tian Beixi didn't answer him immediately, but her expression moved slightly, and then she saw two brilliant golden wheels of merit emerge from her back.

After showing her golden wheel of merit, she smiled and said to Guan Sanke: "Senior sister, I have worked so hard to accumulate so much merit, isn't it just for killing people? Two golden wheels of merit will be added to the body, let alone mutilate fellow disciples." Even if you kill dozens of fellow disciples, that's enough!"

Guan Sanji had known for a long time that her senior sister Tian had the title of witch.Before that, he hadn't realized why such a sweet and beautiful senior sister had such a slightly derogatory nickname, but now he completely understood that there were only wrong names, and there were no wrong nicknames!
Being slashed across the face by Tian Beixi with the Flying Sword of Frost, Guan Sanji couldn't hold back at all.

"Senior Sister, spare me! I said, I said it's okay!"

Tian Beixi stomped on Guan Sanke's back hard, bent his waist down, then smiled and lowered his head and said, "Oh? Now I know I'm afraid? If I had known today, why didn't you confess earlier? ?”

How dare Guan Sanke refute Tian Beixi.

He trembled and said: "Senior sister Tian is the direct descendant of the head of the sect, I shouldn't have kept this kind of thing from you, this time senior brother Ai Wen called our senior brothers over to let us besiege and kill Li Qingning on the battlefield outside the territory! "

This answer did not exceed Tian Beixi's expectations.

She just guessed that these disciples and grandchildren of Lu Youde would participate in the assassination of Li Qingning, so she used the intelligence power at her disposal to keep a close eye on these disciples of Lu Youde who were not very eye-catching and usually had no sense of presence (that kind of attention) Higher star disciples are not easy to follow).

Although most of the stalking work was wasted, she was still caught by Guan Sanji, the unlucky ghost!
So Tian Beixi immediately asked: "So, what means are you going to use to locate Li Qingning on the battlefield outside the territory?"

Now that he has violated the oath of heaven, Guan Sanji only knew everything and said: "I don't know the specific reason, I only know that Wanhua Valley provided a batch of rare monsters, which looked like mice and were said to be able to travel thousands of miles. Li Qingning's position can be sensed outside, even the magic fog on the battlefield outside the domain can't stop this detection!"

Tian Beixi usually manages the sect intelligence work for Tian Daxiao, and knows all the rumors about each sect.

She nodded thoughtfully and said: "I've heard about this matter. It is said that Wanhua Valley did invent a method of using monsters to find people on the battlefield outside the territory more than a hundred years ago. They have already used this method before. Many important targets have been eliminated, if it weren't for the high cost of this kind of monster cultivation, I am afraid that the entire battlefield outside the territory will be their world."

Seeing that this demon female senior sister accepted her explanation, Guan Sanji said with relief: "Yes, it is said that this monster is not only very expensive, but also has a lot of restrictions on its use. It can only be used to track specific targets. It works, and it can't even fit in the storage bag, and now the big mouse is hiding in my waist pocket!"

Following Guan Sanke's instructions, Tian Beixi really pulled out a little white mouse from his waist.

She held the musk fairy tail in front of her eyes and observed it for a while, then thoughtfully said: "So this is the secret of Wanhua Valley! Even if this operation is not for Li Qingning, it is worthwhile to get this kind of secret." okay!"

Guan Sanji also quickly nodded and said in agreement: "Senior Sister Tian is absolutely right, it is precisely because Li Qingning is too strong that Wanhua Valley can't find enough masters to surround and kill her, so this kind of big mouse is given to us for the first time. Shenhuozong, but everyone has made an oath of heaven, and will never reveal half of it to outsiders..."

Obviously, the binding force of this oath of heaven is definitely not weak.

Just looking after the mournful face for three moments, Tian Beixi estimated that the price of merit for violating the oath would not be lower than killing a person in the street.

Tian Beixi put the musk fairy into his pocket, and said with a smile: "Since you have already made a heavenly oath with them, you might as well make another heavenly oath with your senior sister! You just need to promise not to tell what happened today!" "

He was coerced by his senior brother and senior sister to make the oath of heaven. Although Sanji even wanted to die, but the situation was stronger than others, so he had to reluctantly follow Tian Beixi's request and make a second oath. Heavenly oath.

After taking the oath, Tian Beixi seemed to think of something suddenly, and asked after opening again: "By the way, which grand elder of Wanhua Valley is Elder Lu Youde colluding with this time? If my impression is correct, it seems that Wanhua There are quite a few Nascent Soul stage elders over there, and they all have grudges against the head master and Li Qingyang!"

Guan Sanji shook his head again and again and said: "The ones who directly contacted me were Senior Brother Ai Wen and Senior Brother Xia Wu. They conveyed everything on behalf of Elder Lu. I am just a soldier. How can I know these inside stories..."

Both Ai Wenwen and Xia Wu are the core disciples of Lu Youde.

After cross-examining a few more words, he found that Guan Sanji really didn't know anything, so Tian Beixi waved his hand in satisfaction.

The silver-white silk thread binding Guan Sanji suddenly turned into dots of starlight and disappeared, and Guan Sanji, as if he had been pardoned, quickly regained control of the light, and ran towards the exit of the Hongshi Nature Reserve as if fleeing for his life.

After Guan Sanji's figure disappeared, Tian Beixi checked his golden wheel of merit.

As she coerced Guan Sanji to sign the Heavenly Dao contract, her originally brilliant two golden wheels of merit seemed to dim a little bit, which made Tian Beixi couldn't help sighing: "The so-called loopholes in the Kyushu Heavenly Dao are really just rumors, even if I did not cause substantial harm to Guan Sanji from the beginning to the end, and this coercion still affected my golden wheel of merit..."

Thinking of this, Tian Beixi couldn't help showing a trace of annoyance, and said bitterly: "Li Qingning, and that turtle-headed Yang Lu! The price I've paid now, I will definitely let you all return the capital with interest!"

But if he really saved Li Qingning, how would he take revenge on that couple?

Thinking of Yang Lu and Li Qingning crying and begging for her life, her unhappiness just now was also diluted a lot.
