He tore open the envelope, took out the letter and glanced at it. The words on it were crooked, like those of a toddler who was just learning, but it did not affect recognition.

With just this one glance, Fang Xiwen's face changed drastically.

"What's going on?" It was rare to see him lose his composure like this, so the two of them moved closer.

The general content of the letter is as follows:

The person who wrote the letter was a bird demon who was inspired by Master Xuan Ku's Buddhist teachings. It usually moved around in Jiangzhou, did not kill, was a vegetarian, and lived a simple life.

Suddenly one day, it received a mysterious sensation from its blood.

The letter said that this was something that only a demon king in the Jindan stage could do, and that he could call upon his own kind within a certain range.

That day, the bird demon was summoned and learned that a certain number of demons had gathered in Jiangzhou and were planning to launch an attack on the Wang family and seize something very important.

It knew that this would tear up the peace agreement that had been signed and become the fuse for the umpteenth war.

The bird demon, who was moved by the change, did not want to see living beings suffer, and happened to meet Master Xuan Ku who was visiting Jiangzhou again, so he told him about this matter.

Outside the Sutra Repository that was on the verge of collapse, Fang, Jiang, and Sun gathered together. Each of them read it once, and after talking a little, they pieced together the general outline of the matter.

"No wonder the master died without a sound. It's possible that someone threatened the bird demon's life," Fang Xiwen speculated. "He was kind-hearted and naturally didn't want this little demon, who was half a disciple, to get into trouble, so he didn't fight back."

"Yes. The reason why the master did not send this letter out, or give it to someone else, was actually to protect the little demon. The master knew that he might be monitored, and any reckless action would only harm its life, so he found a gap and stuffed the letter into the Sutra Library."

Jiang Xizhi was somewhat emotional. If he had known this news earlier, then Master Xuanku would have had a very limited range of activities, and he wouldn't have gone to the center of the river to pull up water plants...

"I agree with what you two say. But the question is, how did this bear demon know about the information leak, and how did he learn the Blood Robe Sect's skills?"

"Let's put this aside for now." Fang Xiwen put the letter away, his eyes darkened, "Since we have been planning for so long, if I were a demon, I would not give up this attack even if the operation was leaked!"

There is no need to think about who the target of the attack is!

Chapter 157 Robbery, Harmony between Heaven and Man

Luo Ting and his group have already reached the ferry, and have been wandering around for two days. This is not the Lingzhou ferry of Guihua Mountain, but just an ordinary place to take a boat.

As long as they go a little further and board the big ship bound for the Wang family's main residence, no demons or monsters can stop them, and the escort will be delivered.

It was already dusk. The sun in the distance set between two mountains. It was a round circle and soon disappeared into the clouds.

Luo Ting was leading a dark horse with smooth mane and a tail that swayed gently, occasionally snorting. He was thinking about something.

Without his control, the old horse, which knew the way, would lead him forward slowly, but Luo Ting suddenly felt that he was moving backwards. He seemed to have returned to his youth.

He left his family long ago and wandered alone in the martial arts world. Luo Ting knew that the Biluo Sword Technique was not a very good inheritance, but he still practiced it just to keep that tiny connection.

He is a rootless duckweed, but his descendants cannot be rootless.

Luo Ting didn't know whether his talent was good or not, but at the age of 23, Luo Ting became enlightened. It was also in that year that he met the person he could trust for the rest of his life.

So the kid named Fang sometimes seems to be able to read minds - 'The right person will meet sooner or later.'

He undoubtedly met the right person, but it was too early, so early that before he knew it, they had already become a family of three.

He left the family to avoid being bound by others, but he found new shackles for himself. But this time, Luo Ting was willing.

He continued his work as a escort, but his approach changed slightly. He began to only accept soft darts, and was kind and friendly to those who were far less powerful than him.

He wanted to see more of the world, see more of the peach blossoms and plum blossoms in the spring breeze, the night rain in Bashan, and old friends over a glass of wine. But when the wine wore off, his heart withdrew from the world and thought of the mother and daughter who were waiting for him.

They were like a mountain, but also like silk threads - every time he was about to try those "dangerous" jobs, these invisible threads would pull his hand and tell him not to go.

Luo Ting was walking outside, but his heart was at home.

So twenty years passed, and Luo Ting was still at the Nine Apertures.

He constantly polished his inner world. He went through the stage of communication between heaven and man, the stage of unity between heaven and man, and finally returned to nature... He did everything to perfection, and even the outside world could not see through his cultivation.

But he didn't dare to open the gate of life and death, even if he was 99% sure.

Once, a wandering Taoist priest gave him some advice. The priest had disheveled hair and looked crazy. He only took one glance at him and gave him three words - almost there.

Luo Ting was astonished. He really felt that he was "just a little short of it", and this little short of it might kill him.

So he decided not to do anything risky, even though the big snake that was about to form a pill could not withstand his sword, he did not take action.

But there was an exception a few days ago. Someone came to him and specifically asked him to escort the convoy. After hearing the request, Luo Ting's first reaction was to refuse.

But the man said that this was a dart from the "Dingjun Wang Family." It was the Wang family that cultivated righteousness, the Wang family that guarded the border for a hundred years, and the Wang family whose half of the clan members died on the battlefield.

As if his body was not his own, Luo Ting agreed without hesitation. He didn't know if this was the "little bit" that he lacked, he just knew that he had to escort the convoy, as if he had been an escort for decades just for this one trip.

"Xilulu!"

The old horse snorted, bringing Luo Ting back to reality. He stroked the horse's smooth fur and met its dark eyes. As if he had suddenly realized something, he smiled and said, "Yes, you want to drink Wang's wine too?"

Hearing this, the old horse rubbed his palm affectionately and wagged its tail.

Suddenly, Luo Ting seemed to have sensed something. He stood still, smoothed the old horse's fur again, and drove it to the side. The old horse spread its hooves and ran.

Upon seeing this, several brothers in the rear immediately took out their weapons, without saying a word, each of them acting as if they were facing a powerful enemy.

The next moment, a thick smoke descended from the sky, carrying a pungent smell of demonic energy, directly covering the group of people. Then a strange voice that sounded like a human but not a human sounded, sharp and piercing: "Leave your things behind, and leave your life behind too!"

As he spoke, a black shadow rushed out from the side, with two cold rays of light flashing on his hands. Before he could see who was coming, a fierce gust of wind blew towards him!

"Hahaha, good time!"

After hearing a few laughs, a long sword automatically flew out from his waist and was raised up in the air. The waves appeared layer by layer, and the strong wind was directly blown back!

The clear water is surging!

It was just an ordinary refined long sword, but it seemed to have life. When the sword's power was exhausted, it automatically jumped back into Luo Ting's hand. He took it and stabbed it straight up. There was a crisp sound of collision, and another figure was forced out from the demon fog.

Seeing that the opponent had stopped moving, Luo Ting sent out three consecutive sword strikes, one wave higher than the other, and completely dispersed the evil fog.

The sneak attack ended in failure, and two "human figures" appeared in the distance, along with a dark mass of demons behind them.

The demon race is born with magical powers, and can rise half a realm earlier than humans - they are two demons at half a step outside the realm. They brought their own tribes and flew over to rob this escort!

"A wolf demon and a bull demon, this combination...what, isn't it a conspiracy?"

Luo Ting spoke with a smile, his attitude was very casual. Although his movements were not unusual, he gave people a feeling that he was not here, yet he seemed to be everywhere, like a peaceful sea, both moving and still.

The two demons transformed into human form, but still retained some of their characteristics. The wolf demon was of ordinary stature, covered in thick fur, with claws on his feet and hands that shone with cold light, and his eyes were scarlet;

The bull demon was more than two meters tall, with muscles all over his body, piled up on his chest, and holding a pair of brass hammers bigger than a human head. The two demons looked very solemn.

"Be careful, these are the nine orifices that represent the unity of heaven and man." The wolf demon gave a hoarse warning.

In the realm of Nine Apertures, according to the degree of resonance between the inner world and the outer world, the levels from low to high are interaction between heaven and man, unity of nature and man, and returning to nature.

When the degree of resonance is high enough, even if the gate of life and death is not opened, every move can still mobilize the power of heaven and earth, almost like an external scene.

Luo Ting, who has been honing his skills for more than twenty years, is now at the highest level, so he is not afraid even if two half-step masters come.

But the problem is that there is a huge disparity between the followers behind these two great demons and the brothers behind them.

Seeing that the wolf demon and the bull demon were approaching little by little, Luo Ting made a strange move.

He handed the long sword to his left hand, and there was a jar of wine in his right hand. He raised his head and took a big gulp, then threw it hard: "Little devil surnamed Fang, you don't know that there may be only these two jars of Drunken Immortal left in the world... Damn it, there is only one left now! Which drunkard is so lucky!"

boom!

The wine jar broke, and the wine as precious as gold splashed out. Luo Ting's acupoints opened up, and he swung his sword. Layer upon layer of waves rolled back, almost submerging the sky and the earth!

Chapter 158 Be my son

Dangdangdang!

Not far from the ferry, two groups of people were fighting each other - to be precise, one group of humans and one group of monsters.

Among the seven escorts, only Wang Xiong and Xiao Li are enlightened. The demon race is naturally stronger than humans in physique, so even if their cultivation is similar, the demon race is superior in all aspects.

Therefore, there were only two people who could fight against the little demons.

The rest of the brothers could only gather their strength for a while, and soon they were all injured. They could only retreat to the side of the carriage, relying on Luo Ting's sword power to protect them.

Good sword moves.

Every move of the long sword in Luo Ting's hand seemed to be in line with heaven's will. Water was flowing from the two surrounding rivers, adding three points of power to his sword moves. He really felt like chasing the wind and waves.

He fought alone against two half-step warriors, and while he was protecting his brothers, half an incense stick of time had passed.

Even if his realm was high and he was one with nature, Luo Ting still could not get through the gate of life and death. He was still nine orifices.

Without building a bridge between heaven and earth, there is naturally no means of rapid replenishment. Relying only on the self-circulation of the inner heaven and earth, Luo Ting's true energy is almost running out, while the two great demons' demonic power is still abundant.

The wolf demon's body was like a ghostly shadow, and its pair of wind-chasing claws appeared and disappeared mysteriously. Although it did not cause serious damage, it left him with bruises on his body. The bull demon's brass hammer was so powerful and heavy that it could crush the earth. It was so masculine and strong that it forced him to lose energy.

Ding!

It was a close call. Luo Ting blocked the wolf monster's claw, and then the sword bounced back quickly. Taking advantage of the gap between the bull monster's pursuit, he circled and hit a dark void.

Suddenly, the two monsters froze.

They seemed to be flying lightly, reaching an infinite height, with no sadness or joy, looking up and down at the world. This state was very wrong, but they had not yet realized it.

Suddenly, the bull demon fell down violently and fell back onto his own body. A sword light turned into a thin water line and cut his neck!

"Roar!"

The painful roar brought the wolf demon back to reality. Its mind began to turn, and just as it realized that it was a sword move to attack the soul, the bull demon's head rolled to its feet.

The true meaning of the exterior scene: blue sea and heart of heaven!

Luo Ting panted and retracted his sword, his face no longer showing joy. He dragged both of them into the "Heavenly Heart" state with one sword, and then, regardless of the damage to his origin, he struck out with two swords in a row to cut down the bull monster, which also consumed a lot of energy.

"Asshole, what have you done!!" The wolf demon was furious. Just as he was about to transform into a shadow, he realized something and suddenly stepped back.

"Ha, watching your own people die before your eyes, have you lost your will to fight?"

"No," the wolf demon calmed down and smiled cruelly: "I know you want to die with me."

"Oh?" Luo Ting's heart sank.

"Don't even think about it, guys, pile him up to death!"

At a command, the little demon behind him rushed forward fearlessly, almost drowning the group of people!

Even though Luo Ting took off several heads with one sword, the remaining little monsters still continued to charge forward.

The wolf demon hid in the shadows, and said in a cold tone: "When your strength is exhausted, that will be your death. Heaven and man are one, what a pity, what a pity."
