The most secure job in Dajin

Chapter 75: Yuanying escapes

According to Jiang Guanyun's idea, it is a very easy thing for a Nascent Soul Realm expert to kill a Core Formation Realm cultivator.

Even if that wild girl has a trump card that can summon the Vermillion Bird, as long as he can make a quick decision and kill with one blow, then she won't be able to use it even if she has extraordinary means.

Therefore, when Jiang Guanyun caught up with Hua Changxi, he immediately swung out a sharp sword with all his strength, leaving her no chance to counterattack.

However, things turned out to be beyond his expectations.

That wild girl actually learned some magical power from Buddhism, and used her Buddha's hand to easily block his full-strength sword attack.

What he didn't expect was that in just over two months, the girl's cultivation level improved so rapidly that judging from the fluctuations of spiritual energy she emitted, she was almost catching up with him.

Is this the advantage of local monks?
Protected by heaven and favored by luck.

As an outsider cultivator, his hundreds of years of practice and cultivation are still not as good as the development of the local cultivators in just a few years.

I’m so unwilling!
Realizing that the spiritual energy fluctuations behind him were getting closer, Jiang Guanyun sped up again. As his spiritual energy was consumed too quickly, the injuries in his body could not be suppressed and blood immediately flowed from the corners of his mouth.

Jiang Guanyun raised his hand to wipe the blood from the corner of his mouth, his face looking terribly gloomy.

It was ridiculous that he, a cultivator in the Nascent Soul stage, was being chased by a wild girl in the Core Formation stage.

It's simply wishful thinking for that little girl to want to kill him.

Looking at the deep mountains ahead, Jiang Guanyun's eyes were filled with murderous intent. Being chased like this, he couldn't use many of his methods. He had to go into the mountains. After entering the mountains, he would have a way to deal with that wild girl.

Hua Changxi followed the old Taoist closely. During this time, she suppressed the murderous intent that surged in her heart and did not attack casually. Instead, she waited until the old Taoist flew into the mountains and made sure that the battle would not affect outsiders. Only then did she gather her spiritual energy on her right hand and slap it out fiercely.

A fierce air wave attacked from behind, and the terrifying force made Jiang Guanyun's flight a little unstable.

Looking at the Buddha's hand that covered the sky and seemed to suppress everything coming from behind, Jiang Guanyun's heartbeat slowed down.

At this moment, he no longer looked down on Hua Changxi, but at the same time, he had to face something he was unwilling to admit, a challenge above his level.

That damn wild girl can fight above her level!
The giant hand covered it, and even if Jiang Guanyun increased his speed to the limit, it would not be as fast as the giant hand's expansion and overturning.

"Bang~"

Jiang Guanyun was unable to escape the coverage of the giant hand, but when it fell, he rushed to the edge of it, only to be hit by its fingers, vomiting blood and falling to the ground.

Fortunately, Jiang Guanyun was only hit by the finger and was only seriously injured, but his life was not in danger. Seeing the giant hand attacking again, he immediately crushed the invisibility talisman and disappeared from Hua Changxi's sight in the blink of an eye.

Seeing the person disappear, Hua Changxi's expression changed.

She didn't want to let the Taoist escape just like that.

This old Taoist priest had waited in Qingzhou for so long in order to kill her. If she didn't get rid of him, it would definitely bring her countless troubles in the future.

Hua Changxi rode on the clouds and flew high into the sky with a whoosh. A fire lotus appeared on the palm of his hand. With the location where the old Taoist disappeared as the center, several fire lotuses were waved out in succession, quickly forming an encirclement.

The old Taoist was badly injured and couldn't run fast.

Invisibility does not mean disappearing. The old Taoist must be hiding somewhere around.

Hua Changxi swung the fire lotus with the determination to kill the old Taoist. In order to ensure that the old Taoist could not cross the fire lotus, the power of each fire lotus was concentrated to the maximum.

As the fire lotus appeared, the entire mountain became scorching hot.

The next moment, Hua Changxi was shocked.

She didn't expect that the fire lotus she used now would be so powerful. Just a few fire lotuses seemed to be able to burn down the entire mountain.

The huge fire frightened the birds and animals in the mountains, and they fled in all directions.

Hua Changxi was extremely surprised. The previous fire lotus had a very strong burning ability, but its affected range was not large and was limited to humans.

But at this moment, the fire lotus can actually burn the mountain!

Hearing the sounds of birds and beasts fleeing, Hua Changxi came to his senses. Looking at the mountain that was rapidly being engulfed by flames, a desire for destruction surged in his heart again.

Burn, burn, the flames will engulf the mountain, and this old Taoist will surely die!

Hearing this voice deep in her heart, Hua Changxi was shocked. In order to kill the old Taoist, she actually wanted to let the entire mountain burn.

Without any hesitation, he quickly waved his hand to recall the fire lotus.

The fire lotus retreated, and Hua Changxi was silent as he looked at the scorched grass and trees. This emotion was short-lived, as he was diverted by the flashing light in the scorched earth.

Hua Changxi flew quickly towards the location of the spiritual light. When she arrived, she saw the spiritual light turning into a stream of light, quickly sliding across the mountains and disappearing.

"what is that?"

Hua Changxi frowned, looked around, and found a charred corpse behind a huge rock.

“Is this the Taoist priest?”

"You were killed so easily by me?"

Hua Changxi couldn't quite believe it. The corpse's original appearance could no longer be seen, but the shape was indeed similar to that of the old Taoist priest.

"Is it really him?"

Hua Changxi still didn't believe that the old Taoist died just like that. Thinking about the spiritual light that had just slipped away, the location where the spiritual light appeared was right here. Could it be related to the old Taoist?

Now, she dared not take the monks' affairs lightly anymore.

Who knows if the old Taoist has any means to save his life, or if he knows some magic that she doesn't even know about.

Anyway, Hua Changxi didn't think the old Taoist was dead. He felt uncomfortable looking at the corpse. The people he had killed before were directly swallowed up by the fire lotus and disappeared completely. Without facing it directly, there would be no shock.

Suppressing the discomfort in his heart, Hua Changxi condensed a fire lotus and was about to burn the corpse, but he noticed the silver ring on the corpse's hand.

Hua Changxi picked up a wooden stick, took off the ring, and then a fire lotus flew over, instantly submerging the corpse.

Finally, only ashes were left on the ground.

At the same time, dozens of miles away, Jiang Guanyun, who had only escaped as his Nascent Soul, felt that he had completely lost contact with his physical body, and he knew that his physical body was gone.

"You stinky girl, I will kill you!"

Just thinking about the torment of being burned by the fire lotus just now, Jiang Guanyun felt a little more afraid: "How come the power of the fire lotus has become so strong?"

At the Five Finger Mountain, he had experienced the wild girl's fire lotus. At that time, although the fire lotus could cause some damage to him, it was definitely not like it was now, which could actually burn the body of a Nascent Soul cultivator like him.

Damn girl, she must have had some extraordinary opportunity in Wuzhi Mountain.

These opportunities should have originally belonged to him.

No matter how unwilling Jiang Guanyun was, he, who was only in the Nascent Soul stage, did not dare to go look for Hua Changxi. Instead, he had to hurry back to the Jiang family in Jizhou and lie dormant for a while.

Time. At the beginning of the revival of spiritual energy, time is the most precious.

Now it's all because of that damn girl. Everything has been messed up by him.

She really deserves to die!

Hua Changxi did not stay in the mountains for long. She took the cleaned silver ring and rode away on a cloud. She did not return to the capital directly, but went to Daicheng.

Her fight with the Taoist priest did not last long. Only half an hour had passed since she passed by this place.

There is still some chaos in the city at the moment. Walking on the street, you can still clearly feel people's fear.

Come to think of it, they were happily buying New Year's goods, and suddenly two people appeared above their heads and started fighting, and their lives were almost in danger. If she were an ordinary person, she would also be scared.

Hua Changxi found an inn closest to the city gate and stayed there. After entering the guest room, he gave extra silver and asked the waiter to bring him a mirror.

No one knew that she had left Wuzhi Mountain except Shanling and Xiaosong. Moreover, her decision to return to Beijing today was a last-minute one.

It was impossible for the old Taoist to wait outside the Five Fingers Mountain every day to stop her. It was too coincidental that he followed her as soon as she came out of the mountain.

She remembered that Shan Ling had told her before that no matter what the Taoist had done, the Taoist would be able to find him no matter where he ran to.

Hua Changxi suspected that the Taoist priest used the same method on her as he used on the mountain spirit. She and the Taoist priest had only had one direct encounter, when she rushed out of the monkey cave and was hit by him.

Therefore, the old Taoist's methods should have been left behind at that time.

Hua Changxi took off his clothes and looked at his back in the mirror, but he didn't find anything there.

After pondering for a while, Hua Changxi circulated his spiritual energy, letting it cover his back. In an instant, the word "Jiang" appeared on his back.

Seeing that the old Taoist really left a mark on his body, Hua Changxi felt murderous intent surge in his heart again.

The murderous intent came so quickly that Hua Changxi frowned.

Now, she wants to kill people at every turn, which is not a good sign.

"Is it the influence of the Black Flame?"

Hua Changxi was somewhat worried: "Shura Gate"

The matter of Shura Gate could not be resolved immediately, so Hua Changxi could only turn his attention to the problem he was facing now, looking at his back: "How can I remove this word?"

Hua Changxi thought about it, thought of the power of the fire lotus, condensed a fire lotus, and directly used the fire lotus to burn the word "ginger".

She is not afraid of fire, but when burned by the fire lotus, she can still feel the burning pain.

Seeing that the word "Jiang" was indeed fading little by little under the burning of the fire lotus, Hua Changxi gritted his teeth and persevered.

In the end, the word "Jiang" was burned away. Although there were no scars on her back, she was sweating profusely from the pain.

"The power of the Fire Lotus has really become stronger."

Is it because the Buddha's hand became the fuel for the fire lotus?
What Xiaosong said about Buddha's hand being a top-notch treasure from heaven and earth was true. After being melted and absorbed by the Fire Lotus, the power of the Fire Lotus seemed to have been directly increased to a higher level.

After removing the traces left by the old Taoist priest, Hua Changxi rested for a while and then left the inn.

The streets were still bustling, and there were many more patrolling officers and soldiers.

Following the crowd's discussion, Hua Changxi walked to the area worst affected by the fighting.

Many houses collapsed and some people were injured. Government officials have arrived and are organizing personnel to deal with the injured.

Hua Changxi looked at the injured people and saw that most of them had external injuries and were not fatal, so he felt a little relieved.

In the final analysis, these people were implicated by her.

Hua Changxi felt a little guilty and wanted to pay the medical expenses, but she didn't have much money on her. It was at this moment that she noticed the group of masked black-robed guards.

Some of the black-robed guards were also injured, and Hua Changxi sensed the spiritual energy emanating from them.

These soldiers are monks!
"Who are those people? Why are they wearing masks?"

Hua Changxi asked the people around him who were watching the fun casually.

"I don't know. They came from the capital. I think their name was some kind of town or some kind of army."

"What army?"

Hua Changxi frowned, and suddenly, his expression changed. The Demon-Suppressing Army!
These people are the Demon-Suppressing Army!
Hua Changxi quickly looked at the black-robed guards, sizing up the mysterious guards curiously: "Why are you wearing masks? Are you afraid of being recognized?"

Hua Changxi thought about her own situation. The first bird to stick its head out will be shot. With monks so rare, maybe she should buy a mask to wear.

Hua Changxi looked closely at the injured Demon-Suppressing Soldiers. Their spiritual energy was disordered and still dissipating. Their spiritual veins were damaged. Ordinary doctors could not cure such injuries.

After looking for a while, Hua Changxi saw a scholar setting up a stall at the entrance of the alley next to him. He walked over quickly, gave him a dime, and borrowed his paper and pen.

In front of a collapsed house, Chu Junyi was urging the doctor to treat the wounds of the injured soldiers.

"External injuries are easy to treat, but internal injuries are."

"When the giant sword chopped down, although the giant hand blocked it in time, Xu Meng and the others were still shaken by the powerful spiritual power and their spiritual veins were damaged. Ordinary doctors can't heal them."

"Those two are too strong. Their cultivation should be above the Jindan stage. Otherwise, it would be impossible for a small aftermath to seriously injure a Qi training cultivator."

"We have to return to Beijing as soon as possible and find a doctor from the Medical Department to treat them. Otherwise, I'm afraid their injuries will get worse."

Meng Ziyu, the General of the Central Army, gave a detailed account of the situation of the injured guards.

After hearing this, Chu Junyi's brows knitted together. His spiritual veins were damaged, and the doctors in the Medical Department might not be able to treat him. "I will report this to the minister as soon as possible. I guess I will have to go to the Jiang family in Jizhou in the end."

Meng Ziyu hesitated: "The Jiang family is probably not in the mood to care about external affairs at this time."

In the battle of Five Finger Mountain more than two months ago, three cultivators of the Jiang family died, one of whom was the current head of the Jiang family.

The mysterious ancestor of the Jiang family was also injured. The Jiang family has been in fierce internal fighting during this period, and the ancestor did not show up to stop it. I wonder if his injury is really as serious as outsiders say?

Chu Junyi rubbed his brows and said, "If the doctors in the Medical Department were more motivated, we wouldn't have to ask the Jiang family for help every time."

Meng Ziyu said something fair: "Everything in cultivation needs to be passed down. It's too difficult to figure it out on your own."

Chu Junyi agreed with this statement, but the Demon-Suppressing Army was always at the forefront and there were always casualties. The Medical Department had never made any breakthroughs in medical skills and alchemy, which resulted in most of the elixirs needed by the Demon-Suppressing Army having to be provided by the Jiang family.

Meng Ziyu was about to say something when his expression suddenly changed. He stepped in front of Chu Junyi and grabbed a bundle with his right hand.

Chu Junyi also flew onto the roof next to him at the first moment, staring at the pedestrians on the street.

Unfortunately, nothing was found.

"Commander, come and see."

Hearing Meng Ziyu's cry, Chu Junyi gave up searching for the suspect and jumped off the roof.

"Commander, look."

Meng Ziyu handed the note in the bundle to Chu Junyi.

Chu Junyi opened the note and there were only two sentences on it.

"I don't want to cause any trouble while passing by here. Sorry."

"There are some healing pills in the bag. As a small token of my apology, I would like to ask you to make proper arrangements for the injured civilians."

Meng Ziyu handed over the pills in the package again: "There are hemostatic pills, blood recovery pills, rejuvenation pills, recovery pills, pulse strengthening pills, detoxification pills, soul-clearing pills, and soul-smoothing pills. There are three bottles of each."

Chu Junyi looked at these pills with surprise.

Meng Ziyu looked happy: "These healing pills are more diverse than those provided by the Jiang family. Is this pulse-strengthening pill for repairing spiritual veins?"

Seeing Chu Junyi remained silent, Meng Ziyu was silent for a moment: "Commander, are you wondering who threw the package to us?"

Chu Junyi nodded. The two monks who had fought in the sky above Daicheng ran too fast and they did not see their figures clearly.

Meng Ziyu thought for a moment and said, "I think the person who wrapped it for us must have inherited the alchemy heritage, otherwise it would be impossible for him to take out so many pills at once."

"Being able to refine so many pills shows that he is not short of resources. He is most likely a descendant of a large family."

Chu Junyi looked at him and said, "You and I are both familiar with the big families in Dajin, and we can also estimate their capabilities. Which family do you think can cultivate an alchemist at the Jindan level?"

Meng Ziyu was silent for a moment: "You mean, this person comes from one of those secret ancient families?"

Chu Junyi shook his head: "I can't say for sure. The terrain in many places is changing. Ordinary people may also encounter ruins and obtain the inheritance inside."

Meng Ziyu: "Anyway, although that person caused the war, he also stopped the perpetrator in time, and now he is offering an apology. I think he is a good person."

Chu Junyi remained silent.

Seeing that he didn't say anything, Meng Ziyu asked, "Then should I give this pill to Xu Meng and the others?"

Chu Junyi checked every pill before nodding.

After Meng Ziyu left, Chu Junyi called another subordinate and said, "Go tell the governor of Qingzhou that the medical expenses of the injured people and the destroyed houses will be paid by the Demon Suppression Army. Ask him to handle this emergency well."

After his men left, Chu Junyi looked at the pedestrians on the street again, wondering who the two people who had fought earlier were.
