Chongming Xianzong

Chapter 418 Trapped for a while

————Yunjiaozhou Branch Building
A middle-aged woman who was a bit more mature and beautiful than Yan Qingwei stood in the stable, looking out of place with the complicated and dirty surroundings.

She only used her clear eyes to patiently watch the old groom combing the skinny horse in the stable with an iron comb, and then she spoke:
"Mother sent me to ask you, Old Jiang, since the Black Shoe Taoist has already left and Kang Dabao is no longer valued by the state court and the Fei family, why did you send Fake Dan to save his life?"

Jiang Hongdao lifted his dirty calfshoes and picked up a handful of hay from the ground and rubbed it a few times to wipe off the dirt on his hands. After doing this, he turned to the beautiful woman and said, "Deputy Building Owner, is this building really in need of a fake Dan to take charge?"

The beautiful woman showed some displeasure between her brows, and her tone became even colder: "Old Jiang, I am asking you now."

Jiang Hongdao was startled for a moment, then a faint smile appeared on his face:
"Deputy Boss, we just need to ask that bastard Yang Jue to go to Jackdaw Mountains. He can go back and forth in a few days. He sits in Tengwen Mansion all day with nothing to do, so it doesn't matter if he moves. Even if we can't drive away the beasts, it won't be difficult to save Kang Dabao's life."

"It's easy to say. Steward Yang is in charge of Tengwen Mansion, the first town of Shannan Road. He is not as idle as you, an old man, who stays in a mortal farm every day to play with women. Why should Steward Yang leave Tengwen Mansion's many urgent matters aside for the time being and save it?"

"Why don't you save him?" Jiang Hongdao's tone became frivolous again, and he only said:

"Deputy Building Master, you should know that Kang Dabao is the nephew-in-law of Fei Nan'an, the head of the Sheshan Hall of the Fei Family; a trusted minister of Kuang Liuting, the first person of the royal family of the David Immortal Dynasty; the closest descendant of the Black Shoe Taoist who went to the outer sea to seek the opportunity of the top-grade golden elixir; and one of the most outstanding heads of families in the nearby states. The deputy building master may still look down on him, but as long as any of his identities are useful in the future, it will be worth it for us to save him."

The beautiful woman sneered: "You are bragging! If Kang Dabao is really that valuable, how could he have fallen to the point where we in the Fearless Building had to send people to rescue him?"

Jiang Hongdao nodded and said, “The deputy building owner is right. If he were not far away from those hot stoves now, it would be difficult for us in the Fearless Building to find an opportunity.

But deputy building owner, our Wuwei Building covers the 26 states and hundreds of counties in Shannan Road. Is it possible to find a cultivator with a more rare status than Kang Dabao and easily recruit him? Can you be absolutely sure that our Wuwei Building will never be able to use Kang Dabao in the future?"

The beautiful woman lightly rebuked, "Old Jiang, you used this kind of rhetoric to coax my mother and me back then. Over the years, only Kang Dabao has taken advantage of the building. You said that with all those relationships, have they ever gotten even a little bit of it over the years?!"

Jiang Hongdao was not ashamed or angry after being scolded by the beautiful woman. He cupped his hands and said, "Don't be anxious, Deputy Boss. I, Old Jiang, have already obtained the Boss's approval for these things. It's not that they are not useful, but that the time has not come yet."

These words were not respectful at all. The beautiful woman frowned and was about to argue, but she heard the old cultivator opposite her say:

"Who can predict what will happen in the future? The former Star Picking Tower Master was the closest to the imperial clan leader in the Immortal Dynasty, and he could almost be considered a master-disciple relationship with Taizu.

Wasn't he the first to rebel when Taizu David was trapped in the forbidden land, causing all the immortals from the Immortal Dynasty to gather and respond, and the Kuang family's empire was shattered? !

The owner of the building allowed me to do this back then, because he didn't value the little money we invested. Not to mention that since we have already invested all the capital of the Fearless Building, we must rescue the life of the borrower before we can collect the principal and interest, right?"

The woman's anger subsided a little, and then she said slowly, "Old Jiang, you are indeed overstepping your authority now. You even dare to talk about things like this involving real people."

The old cultivator laughed again and said, "How can the county magistrate be in charge now? This is a simple truth that even a child knows. Besides, there is no one around. I, Old Jiang, am just telling the deputy owner some old news that everyone knows. What is there to be afraid of? How can it be said that I am overstepping my authority? I, Old Jiang, am not mentioning the fish-watching cultivator in front of the deputy owner."

"Jiang Hongdao!!" The beautiful woman's face immediately changed when she heard the last four words.

After the loud shout, the pair of plump breasts trembled violently, and after a flash of light appeared in her hands, she held a pair of cold and sharp mandarin duck swords, which made the beautiful woman look even more cold and elegant.

"Haha, why should the deputy OP be so angry? Just don't mention it, just don't mention it! I, Old Jiang, won't mention it again." Jiang Hongdao waved his hands repeatedly, and his old face deliberately showed a look of panic.

"Some jokes are not worth making. If you do it again, I will not care that you are my mother's old subordinate and will take your life!"

The beautiful woman had just finished speaking, but she saw the old cultivator, who had been begging for mercy, smile again:
"I don't dare, I don't dare, deputy host. I know you are dissatisfied with me because I and Yan Yatou came up with the idea of ​​asking her to seek a position in Kang Dabao's backyard. It's no wonder. It's rare to find a few mothers in this world who are willing to use their own flesh and blood to do such a thing."

When Jiang Hong said this, his smile faded, and the teasing tone in his voice disappeared: "But, if the Taoist Hei Lu can really make a high-quality golden elixir and come back in the future, I, Old Jiang, will have paved a smooth road for Yan girl."

Hearing this, the anger on the beautiful woman's face gradually faded away. She pondered for a while and asked in a crisp voice: "Old Jiang, do you really think so highly of the Black Shoe Taoist?"

"Does the deputy host really think that Taoist Heilu has no chance of forming a top-grade golden elixir?" The old cultivator turned his eyes away and asked instead of answering.

"Shut up, how can you talk about this like that?! Even for me, even for an old bastard like you, it's not impossible to ask for a high-grade golden elixir, let alone Black Shoe Taoist?"

"That's right, she's just a daughter with decent qualifications, why would the deputy host be reluctant to give her up?"

".You do it carefully."

Seeing that the beautiful woman finally gave in, Jiang Hongdao laughed a few more times, and then said, "Deputy Boss, this matter is not something we can decide. That kid surnamed Kang has no shortage of women now, and ordinary means may not be enough."

"Just do it!" The beautiful woman only left these five words before she left.

Jiang Hongdao apparently didn't care much about the beautiful woman's words and actions. As soon as she finished speaking, he picked up the iron grate on the ground again.

The skinny horse in the stable was quite human-like and walked over to him in a friendly manner. But Jiang Hongdao did not show his usual smile.

He just skillfully washed his already clean hair, muttering in a low voice: "If this matter can be completed, the favor I still owe you, She Fuyi, will be repaid, Old Jiang."

————Jiachou military camp, south wall
The herd of animals, which had just become extremely excited after hearing the anxious roar of the crocodile Yuan, was now splattered with blood.

At this time, Jiang Qing was holding a sword in one arm, his body soaked in blood. In just a few breaths, he was about to kill all the beasts in front of him that were blocking his entry into the battle.

This is not because Jiang Qing and Meng Lang were reckless. After all, no matter how arrogant and conceited Jiang Sanye of Chongming Sect was, he had never thought of killing his way through the beasts and entering the village wall.

However, there was a second-level silver-haired dog in the herd whose nose was too sensitive. It saw through Jiang Qing's secret concealment technique that had kept him from revealing any flaws all along, which prevented the latter from escaping and ended up in prison.

However, the second-level Silver Hair Dog did not have a good end either. The tip of the Red Heart and Burning Sun Sword cut vertically, cutting its nose and skull in half.

This action naturally caused the beasts to become increasingly agitated. As soon as Jiang Qing put away his sword, he realized that his retreat was cut off.

"There is only one way to go now. What a pity! I wanted to wander outside the military camp to see if I could find a few solitary monsters to sacrifice to my sword, so that I could make some moves for my brothers and sisters in the camp. But this beast ruined everything. I don't know if it will even drag my brothers down."

Fortunately, the second-level silver-hair dog has a sensitive nose, but the other monsters cannot react as quickly as it does.

These monsters have surrounded the Jiachou military camp for more than twenty days. Every day, the monks in the camp are seen getting beaten. They never thought that there would be monks from the outside world coming to help.

Jiang Qing took advantage of the monsters' unpreparedness and seized the initiative. He found a weak point in the monster group and moved quickly, urging his flying sword.

For a moment, the sword light was as hot as fire, burning the flesh and blood creatures in front of Jiang Qing, causing them to fall like dead leaves.

Jiang Qing ignored his injuries and moved firmly towards the wall of the military camp. In an instant he was within a hundred steps of the camp.

These monsters that were chasing the fastest were indeed in bad luck. Whenever a sword flashed in the group, there would be a death. The howling sounds made the leading second-level monsters feel terrified.

But with the spiritual beasts in control, it was difficult for them to seek benefits and avoid harm, so they had to bite the bullet and block. These beasts had some intelligence and did not act rashly like the first-level monsters.

I saw four or five second-level monsters gathered together, not daring to approach, but trying their best to cast spells from a distance, and finally suppressed the sharp sword light in front of them.

Ever since these beasts came over, it was difficult for Jiang Qing to reap the lives of the monsters like pouring soup on the snow as before, so the action was inevitably delayed.

The monsters around him rushed towards him fearlessly and desperately, making it difficult for him to wield the sword. He couldn't even shake off the pool of blood and flesh on the sword.

"Cough," Jiang Qing coughed up blood again, his face darkened, and the sharpening stone in his arms suddenly released a spiritual essence that slowly fell on the Red Heart Burning Sun Sword. The violent sword energy burst out instantly, taking away a lot of lives in just an instant, leaving countless rotten flesh and bones in front of Jiang Qing.

It wasn't just the low-powered first-level monsters that suffered.

The four-horned yellow rhino in front of Chongming Sword Immortal was also lucky. This second-level middle-grade monster, which was always known for its sturdy body, was unable to withstand the sword this time. Its scales were as fragile as the skin and flesh underneath. After only a scream, its organs were crushed and it died.

Several second-level monsters were frightened and stopped in their tracks for a moment, but the sharp scream of Crocodile Yuan just now seemed to still linger in their ears, making them dare not feel the slightest bit of cowardice.

Jiang Qing saw that the eyes of these vicious beasts were still bright red and their mouths were still covered with saliva, so he knew that he needed to put in more effort.

"Fifty steps!"

"Zheng", the sound of the sword is clear and the sword light is alluring!
A sword beam shot out quickly, so fast that it could damage the eyes of a blood-toothed eagle known for its "speed". Jiang Qing was not complacent, and as soon as he turned around, the Red Heart Burning Sun Sword flew out of his hand again and entered the left ear of the attacking Iron Arm Ape.

After crushing the yellow and white in the beast's brain, the Red Heart and Burning Sun Sword cut open its skull, shaking off all the stickiness on its body, and then fell back into Jiang Qing's hands.

"Thirty steps!" "Roar!!!" The other second-level monsters were not scared away by this brutal scene. Instead, they urged the surrounding beasts more fanatically to gather towards Jiang Qing, the center of the vortex, like a flood.

Jiang Qing looked unhappy, knowing that this killing move he had cultivated for several years was sharp, but it consumed a lot of spiritual energy and was difficult to sustain.

But at this critical moment, Jiang Qing did not show any panic, and even the sword moves in his hand were neither fast nor slow, without any confusion.

Although he knew that he could not withstand the attack of the beasts in front of him for much longer, Jiang Qing felt relieved when he saw a tall figure descending from the top of the village wall and landing on the ground.

The big man who landed from the top of the village wall had no intention of dealing with the bloodthirsty beasts in front of him. He just unreasonably used the golden light to go ahead and used the short spear to clear the way.

In the situation where Crocodile Yuan had not shown up, no matter how ferocious the monsters surrounding the village looked, they were no match for Master Kang.

How could these clumsy beasts understand the exquisiteness of "The Art of War Taught by the Halberd-wielding Man from the Wood Palace Star God"? Even less could they comprehend the mystery of the already accomplished golden eyes that could see through illusions.

Even if there were any fish that slipped through the net along the way, Kang Dabao could calmly put them in front of him and easily kill them with the "Eight Desolations Mountain-Suppressing Technique" that he had become more and more familiar with.

With the protection of the remaining half of the lion insects, he was not in a hurry to harvest the life of the monster in front of him, but was only eager to rescue Jiang Qing, so he moved very quickly.

It is true that the monsters in the herd did not flinch after seeing such a tragic scene, but in just a few breaths, their actions to fill the gap in front of Master Kang were far less fast than the short spear in the latter's hand to reap lives.

Just like the last time when he fought the beast group alone, Kang Dabao's spiritual power receded like the tide, but he did not dare to slow down even a bit.

This was because he saw that the spiritual energy of the sword-grinding stone in Jiang Qing's arms had dissipated, and he could barely support a few second-level monsters. If he didn't hurry up, his third junior brother might not be able to survive.

"Ten steps!"

The tip of the butcher's halberd easily cut open the blinded Blood-toothed Vulture's short belly, leaving a trail of blood and relieving the beast's pain.

At the same time, the golden pupils in Kang Dabao's eyes did not stop for a moment, and the golden light rushed to the death of any monsters that dared to obstruct him. Only a few second-level monsters were able to escape.

Facing the beasts rushing in from all directions, he even only had a chess immortal plate for protection, and even the cloud of insects had all dispersed to eat his life.

"It's almost there!!" Kang Dabao chanted again in his heart, and finally took out the Kang Jin Mace that he had been covering his chest with.

As the huge golden mace suddenly fell and splashed a cloud of blood, a familiar sharp whistle sounded in the ears of Master Kang.

"Hoo! Hoo!!!"

"Alliance leader!! The second-order trap set up behind the western secondary formation is about to be broken!!" Shan Shijie's urgent cry was heard after the sharp roar, causing the expression of Sect Leader Kang to change suddenly.

"Didn't they say that this second-level inferior trapping formation can trap that beast for half a day? It's only been a short while, I'm afraid it doesn't even have time to poop. Don't trust Wei Gu's words in the future! Damn it, if Zhang Qingran dares not to come again next time, I'll show you how I'll deal with her!"

It's useless to regret. Before coming here, Master Kang just wanted to let the disciples of the alliance try their hand in preparation for the Fei family's call-up at any time. But he never thought that he would meet an enemy like E Yuan.

As a result, now he was in such a situation, he had no choice but to smash around with the talisman in his hand with a grim face, and finally managed to grab Jiang Qing's wrist, which had already been very cold.

The two brothers didn't need to say a word, they just returned to the camp in tacit understanding.

But at this moment, there was another loud bang coming from the direction of the western wall of the village, and then a large amount of spiritual energy spread around, brightening half of the sky.

"Yellow Eyes!! You are quite clever!!!"

"Alliance leader! The trap has been broken! The green crocodile is here!!!" While Mo Wen was shouting, he personally used the Star-shooting Crossbow and blasted the head of a second-order golden-ringed viper beside Kang and Jiang into pieces.

Shan Shijie was so frightened that his face turned pale as paper, and he thought to himself:

"If anything happens to Kang Dabao and the other two, we really won't be able to defend this military camp. Even if all the clansmen I brought here die here, I still need to return to Feiyue Valley. I need to pass on the family business that Patriarch Shan Sheng painstakingly passed down to me safely."

The roar of Crocodile Yuan in the distance had reached his ears. The situation was so critical that Kang Dabao didn't even bother with Mo Wen's reminders from the top of the village wall.

From Jiang Qing's performance at this moment, the head of Kangda Sect could tell that the latter was already at the end of his strength and could hardly fight again. Therefore, Kangjin Mace was controlled very quickly, the golden light in his eyes was intermittent, and the short halberd in his hand had many afterimages.

At this point, he even felt a little lucky: "No matter how fast this beast is, it can't stop me ten steps before the village wall, right?!"

The beasts in front of them were finally subdued by the power of the talisman given by the elder of the Fei family in the hand of Master Kang, and the fanaticism in their eyes involuntarily faded; in addition, they surrounded the two people and were too close to the village wall with their backs turned, allowing the monks on the wall to exert their full strength.

After taking these two approaches, they finally managed to cut away a thick layer of the dense herd of beasts in front of Kang Dabao and the others.

"Five steps!"

Kang Dabao looked at the seven or eight star-shooting crossbows on the top of the village wall with some excitement, and at the same time aimed at the second-level top-quality unicorn mandrill that was risking its life to stop him.

But after a series of crossbow sounds, the seven or eight crossbow arrows did not hit the unicorn, but were all intercepted by a green shadow.

Following the sounds of "crack" and "crack", only a few shallow blood marks were left on the body of the green figure in front of him.

"go!"

The face of the head of the Kang family suddenly turned black, and he used all his means to protect Jiang Qing and pushed him into the formation.

E Yuan watched with amusement as Master Kang pushed Jiang Qing into the military camp's formation. Mo Wen and other monks guarding the camp hurried over to take him.

The beast itself was not panicked, and continued to attack with the sawtooth formation and magic.

It does not need to care about the life of any cultivator here except Kang Dabao, because as long as the latter can be left alive, all the cultivators in the village will be trapped and die.

"Those monks who practiced a hundred arts cannot be killed casually. Maybe we can spare their lives, plant the soul slave seal on them, and provide them with cultivation resources. Who knows, they may be able to help me accomplish great things in the demon land in the future."

Crocodile Yuan, who had temporarily suppressed his injuries, now felt more confident. He looked at Kang Dabao, who had just clumsily blocked several green-glazed arrows with the Yixian Plate, and grinned.

"You beast, you only know how to come here to make fun of me!" Sect Leader Kang cursed angrily. Without waiting for Crocodile Yuan to react, the shadow of the already extremely sharp Kang Jin Mace became even more solid and larger, and it fell towards the evil beast in front of it with a strong gust of wind.

Seeing the power of the talisman, E Yuan was slightly surprised and hurriedly recalled the sawtooth circle formation to protect him.

Even though the golden energy around Kang Jin Mace was constantly cut away by the saw teeth and turned into wisps of dim clouds scattered in the sky, it still forced the sawtooth circle formation of Crocodile Yuan to be suppressed.

Being at a disadvantage, Crocodile Yuan could sense that Kang Dabao's talisman was much more powerful than the last time, and he vaguely guessed the reason: "This is a brand new talisman that he has only used twice, and this guy is willing to throw it away?!"

Just as E Yuan expected, the sawtooth circle formation was indeed shattered into pieces by Kang Jin Mace, but the talisman also lost its power in the hands of Master Kang and became just a piece of waste paper.

Crocodile Yuan opened his mouth again and sucked, and the sharp teeth that were still intact fell back into his mouth one by one. Then the beast's spiritual power quickly gathered in his mouth, and in an instant, fine sharp teeth grew out of the empty grooves on his gums.

Just after doing all this, several golden lights attacked from the opposite side, and the black flame that had been nurtured in Tu Jian for many years was released violently without any reservation. Even though Crocodile Yuan was now able to defeat Fake Dan, it was still hindered by this fierce attack.

When the newly formed tooth array dispersed the golden light and the black flames were shattered by the green glazed arrows, Crocodile Yuan looked up again.
Kang Dabao, who had lost a lot of money, had also fled back to the formation.

Crocodile Yuan did not show much disappointment, but just kept roaring and urged the beasts under it to attack. It had already smelled some danger, perhaps the reinforcements of the monks in the village were on the way.

The second-order formation of the Jiachou military camp was exactly as Wei Gu had said before, with one main formation and four secondary formations linked together. After the western wall of the camp was breached, only two days later, the three secondary formations on the east, north, and south also fell one after another.

When the northern wall of the village collapsed, Lu Xingbei was left alone and was found by the second-level superior one-horned mandrill, and was killed on the spot;
Jiang Qing, Ji Yunsheng, Li Mingyuan and Ming Hui wanted to go to rescue them, but they were surrounded by a dozen second-level monsters and their herds. If Kang Dabao, Mo Wen and Shan Shijie had not risked their lives to gather a large number of disciples to help, the three of them would have been seriously injured.

However, as a result, many disciples of the Chongming Alliance were killed or injured, and finally they had no choice but to retreat to the extremely small inner camp to hold their ground.

Fortunately, on the evening of the day when the secondary formation in the south was broken, a speeding flying boat carrying eight foundation-building members of the Chongming League and holding the six-leaf green lotus flag appeared in the sky that had already been dyed bright red by blood.

(Accepting everyone's opinions, it is a bit delayed, so I will speed up today and will probably finish this part of the plot tomorrow.)
