A moment later, the rune formation suddenly emitted a bright light, and a green beam of light shot up into the sky, pointing straight into the distance.

Han Mo opened his eyes, a hint of joy flashing in his eyes: "Found it, the breath of the plant spirit is in the southeast direction."

A strange light flashed in the eyes of the Black Wind Monster, and he said coldly: "Okay, lead the way!"

Han Mo took a deep breath and guided the Black Wind Monster and the monks in the village to move southeast.

Along the way, he was secretly thinking about how to delay time as much as possible and wait for rescue without exposing the sect's secrets.

Deep in the forest, the night deepened and all around was silent except for the occasional roar of wild beasts.

The Black Wind Monster rode on a huge black wolf. His eyes were as sharp as an eagle. He glanced around from time to time to make sure there were no ambushes.

Han Mo was tied up and escorted by two gangsters, his steps were heavy.

"Han Mo, you'd better not play any tricks, otherwise everyone in your sect will pay the price for your stupidity." The Black Wind Monster warned coldly.

Han Mo suppressed his anger, nodded, and continued to lead the way.

After several hours of trekking, they finally arrived at an open grassland.

The grass and trees here are lush and full of spiritual energy. It is exactly the place where plant spirits like to live.

Han Mo stopped and pointed ahead and said, "It's right here. The breath of the plant spirit is on this piece of grass."

The old monster Black Wind waved his hand, signaling his monks to search around.

The monks immediately dispersed and searched every corner carefully.

After a while, one of the monks shouted loudly: "Boss, there is a discovery here!"

Upon hearing this, the old monster Black Wind quickly rode his black wolf towards the location of the monk.

Han Mo was escorted by two bandits, following closely behind. His heartbeat quickened, and he prayed secretly in his heart, hoping that Jiang Qiong would be able to notice the abnormality in time and respond.

The monk stood on a patch of lush green grass and pointed at a small patch of plants on the ground that was emitting a faint green glow.
"Boss, there are traces left by plant spirits here."

The Black Wind Monster focused his eyes and carefully observed the plant. Then he smiled with satisfaction and said:

"Very good, keep searching, the plant spirit should be nearby."

"Boss, there are still some traces here!" another monk shouted not far away.

The Black Wind Monster quickly rushed over and Han Mo was forced to follow.

They found a hidden path leading deep into the forest next to the grassland.

A hint of excitement flashed in the eyes of the old monster Black Wind, and he signaled his men to continue moving forward.

Walk into the mountains.

I searched inside for a while.

Suddenly, a monk shouted, "Boss, I found something here. I found a plant spirit."

As these words fell.

The old monster Black Wind came over suddenly.

They saw that the monk just now was holding a palm-sized plant monster in his hand, which was exactly what they were looking for.

But if you look carefully.

This is the shed shell of a plant spirit, not its real body. However, even though it is fake, the shed shell is still struggling desperately, but under the magical restraint of the cultivator, it cannot escape at all.

On the surface.

If the realm is not high.

It is easy to be fooled by the shedding and think it is real.

Obviously, the Black Wind Monster and others present were deceived and did not realize that the things in front of them were fake plant monsters.

"Haha, it's here!"

The old monster Black Wind laughed triumphantly, turned to look at Han Mo, and said coldly: "You didn't lie to me."

Han Mo was also in a daze at this time.

He remembered that the plant spirit was taken away by a powerful monk.

Why am I wandering alone on the grassland now?
What about that powerful monk?

Han Mo came to find Jiang Qiong on purpose, and he had another idea in mind, which was to rely on Jiang Qiong to save himself.

But now Jiang Qiong is gone.

"Now that we have found the plant spirit, can you let us go now?"

Han Mo suppressed his emotions and asked tentatively.

The Black Wind Monster sneered and said, "Let you go? Do you think I will let you go so easily?"

At this moment, without waiting for Han Mo to question angrily.

A sword light descended from the sky and headed straight for the Black Wind Monster.

The old monster Black Wind reacted very quickly, waving his hand to block the sword light, but was still knocked back a few steps.

Everyone looked up in surprise, only to see Jiang Qiong coming on a sword.

The moment of arrival.

Jiang Qiong took immediate action and killed the bandit who was holding the shed shell of the plant spirit with one sword. He killed the bandit instantly, took the shed shell back into his hand, and quietly returned it to the plant spirit.

All the way to the grasslands and forests.

Jiang Qiong did not restrict the freedom of the plant spirit and let it run around.

Jiang Qiong himself gathered the wood-attributed spiritual energy from the plants and trees to make it easier to feed the plant spirits in the future.

But I never expected that we would encounter such an unexpected situation during the gathering process.

Seeing someone coming to catch the plant monster, Jiang Qiong immediately condensed a clone and quickly rushed over.

As for the main body.

Jiang Qiong was too lazy to come over and was still silently absorbing the life breath of nature.

"Who are you? What are you doing here?"

Jiang Qiong's eyes were as fast as lightning as he stared directly at the Black Wind Monster.

When the old monster Black Wind saw Jiang Qiong kill his men with one sword, his face changed and he realized that Jiang Qiong was very powerful.

But he quickly regained his composure. Although Jiang Qiong was very powerful, he was not someone who would be easily frightened.

"Hand over the plant spirit, or I'll be rude to you!"

The Black Wind Monster threatened.

Jiang Qiong sneered: "I worked hard to subdue the plant spirit, why should I hand it over to you?"

The Black Wind Monster angrily asked, "Are you really not afraid of death?"

Jiang Qiong said calmly: "I am never afraid of death, but do you dare to do it?"

The Black Wind Monster's face darkened and a hint of ruthlessness flashed in his eyes.

He knew that Jiang Qiong in front of him was very powerful, but he was not willing to give up the plant spirit easily.

Plant spirits are not only a resource for him, but also an important opportunity to improve his strength.

"I advise you not to refuse a toast and then drink a forfeit!" said the old monster Black Wind coldly, his tone full of threats.

Jiang Qiong showed no fear, his expression was indifferent, he stood with his hands behind his back and said: "I am never afraid of threats, especially from a gangster."

The old monster Black Wind was furious and waved his hand suddenly to signal his monks to prepare for the siege.

He grinned and said, "Since you are so ungrateful, don't blame me for being rude! Come on, all of you!"

Following the order from the old monster Black Wind, his monks took out their magic weapons and surrounded Jiang Qiong in an instant.

Han Mo was being held by two gangsters, with a trace of worry in his eyes, but he knew that he was powerless to change the situation at this moment. Jiang Qiong sneered, swung the long sword in his hand, and the sword energy swept out.

His movements were as smooth as flowing water and the sword light was as fast as lightning. He instantly repelled the several bandits who were rushing in the front.

These bandits were completely unable to resist Jiang Qiong's sword energy, and they flew backwards screaming.

When Black Wind Monster saw this, his face became even gloomier.

He knew that Jiang Qiong was powerful, but he didn't expect that he could defeat his men so easily.

He gritted his teeth unwillingly and waved his hands. A black storm suddenly formed and rushed towards Jiang Qiong.

Jiang Qiong's eyes focused, and he turned the sword in his hand. The sword energy burst out again, colliding violently with the black wind storm of the Black Wind Monster in the air.

The two powerful forces intertwined with each other, making a deafening roar, and the surrounding trees were shaken to the ground.

"With your limited strength, you dare to snatch my things?"

Jiang Qiong sneered, and swung the sword in his hand again. The sword energy swept out like a storm.

The Black Wind Monster's face changed and he quickly took a few steps back, but he was still injured by the sword energy and spurted out blood from his mouth.

He was secretly shocked. He didn't expect Jiang Qiong's strength to be so terrifying.

"Go together!"

The old monster Black Wind roared unwillingly and signaled his monks to attack again.

The monks took out their magic weapons one after another, and with flashes of spiritual light, all kinds of attacks surged towards Jiang Qiong like a tide.

However, Jiang Qiong was not afraid at all. He swung the sword in his hand as fast as lightning, and the sword energy was so strong that it could dissolve all the attacks.

"A bunch of rabble, dare you act so presumptuously in front of me?"

Jiang Qiong said coldly, with a cold light flashing in his eyes.

He moved and instantly turned into a shadow, appearing in front of a cultivator. He swung his sword, and the cultivator was killed without even having a chance to react.

In an instant, blood splattered and the body fell to the ground.

The other monks were horrified upon seeing this, but they had no way to retreat and could only continue attacking.

However, Jiang Qiong's swordsmanship was superb, and every sword strike was extremely accurate. Wherever the sword energy went, flesh and blood flew everywhere.

Han Mo was stunned. He had never seen such a powerful cultivator before, and he felt a sense of admiration for Jiang Qiong.

He knew that whether he could escape today depended entirely on Jiang Qiong's strength.

When the old monster Black Wind saw his monks falling one after another, he became extremely angry.

He knew that if he didn't take action, he would die.

He gritted his teeth, clasped his hands together, and a black light condensed in his hands, forming a huge black storm.

"go to hell!"

The Black Wind Monster roared angrily and pushed the black storm towards Jiang Qiong fiercely.

Jiang Qiong snorted coldly, and swung the sword in his hand suddenly. A bright sword light shot straight into the sky and collided violently with the black storm in the air.

The two powerful forces intertwined again, erupting with a deafening roar.

However, Jiang Qiong's strength was too strong. Even if he condensed a clone, he was still terrifyingly powerful.

The black storm gradually disintegrated under the impact of the sword energy, and finally turned into a black mist and dissipated in the air.

The Black Wind Monster's face changed, blood spurted out of his mouth again, and he staggered.

He gritted his teeth unwillingly, and a hint of ruthlessness flashed in his eyes.

"You think you can defeat me like this?"

The Black Wind Monster roared, and his hands once again condensed a black light, preparing to launch the final attack.

However, Jiang Qiong did not give him any chance. He moved and instantly appeared in front of the Black Wind Monster. He swung his sword and the sword energy was as fast as lightning, heading straight for the Black Wind Monster's throat.

The Black Wind Monster had no time to react and was injured by the sword energy. Blood gushed out of his throat and his eyes were filled with unwillingness and fear.

He opened his mouth as if he wanted to say something, but in the end nothing came out. His body fell to the ground weakly, without any breath.

Jiang Qiong looked at the corpse of the Black Wind Monster coldly, with a hint of disdain in his eyes.

He turned to look at Han Mo and said calmly, "Are you okay?"

Han Mo was shocked by Jiang Qiong's powerful strength and nodded quickly, "I'm fine, thank you for your help, senior."

While talking.

Han Mo was also extremely embarrassed.

Originally, he wanted to bring the elders here to take the plant spirit away from Jiang Qiong, but in the end he was rescued by Jiang Qiong.

"Why are you staying with these gangsters?"

Jiang Qiong looked at Han Mo and asked with a smile.

"This..." Han Mo was very embarrassed when he heard this. He couldn't help but clasped his fists and said:
"To be honest, Senior, I returned to the sect and informed the sect master of the matter of the plant spirit. The sect master asked me to bring the elders here to discuss with you and see if we can trade the plant spirit away."

"As a result, we encountered bandits on the road and were all captured."

"Under the interrogation of these bandits, they also learned about the plant spirits and forced me to come to find the senior."

At this point, Han Mo said, "What happened before was our fault. We have offended you, Senior. I hope you will forgive me and help save my fellow disciples."

"I want payment for my efforts." Jiang Qiong said, standing with his hands behind his back.

"Well, as long as the senior can help, any reward is negotiable."

Han Mo said respectfully.

"Take me there."

Jiang Qiong heard this and immediately spoke.

"Please follow me, senior."

Seeing that Jiang Qiong was willing to take action, Han Mo couldn't help but show gratitude on his face, and then took Jiang Qiong's clone to the mountain village.

Jiang Qiong followed Han Mo to the bandit's stronghold. On the way, the two did not say much, but just moved forward silently.

The mountain road is rugged and surrounded by dense trees. The occasional bird calls make it seem particularly quiet.

Soon, the two came to a hidden valley where they could vaguely see a series of buildings, which was the bandits' stronghold.

Jiang Qiong looked around with a sharp gaze and said coldly, "Wait here, I'll deal with them."

Han Mo nodded, full of confidence in Jiang Qiong's strength.

Jiang Qiong flashed and sneaked into the mountain village silently.

Inside the mountain village, the bandits were gathered together, seemingly discussing something.

One of the gangsters was waving a knife in his hand and yelling, "The county town in the northwest is bullying us too much. We can't tolerate it. We must act immediately and teach them a lesson!"

The other gangsters echoed each other, and the atmosphere became tense and intense.

At this moment, Jiang Qiong suddenly appeared, swung the sword in his hand, and the sword energy was as fast as lightning, knocking down several bandits in an instant.

"who!"

The bandit inside yelled, raised his long sword and slashed at Jiang Qiong.

However, before he could get close, Jiang Qiong cut him into two pieces with a sword, and blood splattered everywhere.

Seeing this, the other bandits retreated in fear, but Jiang Qiong did not give them any chance.

As the long sword was swung, the sword energy was everywhere, and the bandits fell one after another, with screams coming one after another.

Soon, the entire village was littered with corpses and blood flowed like a river.

Jiang Qiong watched all this coldly, without a trace of pity in his eyes. These bandits had committed numerous crimes and deserved death. (End of this chapter)
