Tyrant Blade Sect Over there is an extremely burly old man.
He was nine feet tall, with a strong back and a strong waist. Standing there, he looked like an iron tower.
Wearing a sleeveless black short coat, he exposed two arms that were thicker than an ordinary person's waist. The veins on the arms were knotted and the muscles were taut, as if they contained enough terrifying power to Mountain-Splitting Stone-Cracking.
There was a huge knife on his back, which was as big as a door panel. The blade was as black as ink and glowed with a cold light.
He just stood there casually, and he had a domineering aura, as if he was the only one in the world.
He is Supreme Elder of the Tyrant Blade Sect, Lei Lie known as the "Bad Sword".
It is said that when he was young, he had a hot temper and would draw a sword at any disagreement. He once flattened a hill with one blow.
Lingyun Sword Sect Over there is a slender middle-aged man.
He was wearing a moon-white robe, with a sheathed long sword hanging from his waist. The scabbard was made of white jade, shining brightly in the dusk.
With a handsome face and elegant temperament, he looked like an ink painting when he stood there.
He stood with his hands behind his hands, looking into the depths of the Cloud Mist Mountain Range, with an indifferent expression, as if nothing in this world could concern him.
He is Supreme Elder of the Lingyun Sword Sect, Bai Yujing known as the "Sword Crazy".
It is said that this man was obsessed with swordsmanship all his life. He once went into seclusion for ten years in order to master the sword. After he came out of seclusion, he cut off a waterfall with a sword and became famous Qingyang ever since.
Rain Listening Tower Over there is a middle-aged man with an ordinary face.
He was wearing a blue-grey robe without any extra decorations. There was an ordinary long sword hanging on his waist, and the scabbard was even a little old.
He just stood there so casually, as if he was just an ordinary wanderer passing by, without any sense of existence.
But if you look closely, you can find that the position where he stands is exactly the gap where the breaths of the other six people intersect.
He seemed to be integrated into this world, and he seemed to be able to disappear from this world at any time.
He is Supreme Elder of Rain Listening Tower, known as "Shadowless" Silence.
The seven masters and the seven auras were all restrained, but they were like seven invisible mountains, suffocating this area.
Within hundreds of feet around, there were no insects or birds, the beasts were far away, and even the sound of the wind seemed to be much quieter.
"Ahem."
A slight cough broke the silence.
Vajra Temple's Huiming The old monk slowly opened his eyes, and his half-closed eyes were fully opened at this moment, revealing a pair of clear eyes.
He glanced at the other six people, clasped his hands together, and said in a calm voice:
"All donors, since we are all here, let's discuss the business."
"What's there to discuss?"
Tyrant Blade Sect's Lei Lie snorted coldly, sounding like a bell.
"Go right in, find that beast, and chop it with a knife!"
As he spoke, the giant sword behind his back buzzed and trembled, as if it would be unsheathed at any moment.
"Brother Lei is really domineering."
A voice sounded, and everyone looked at it, but it was Lingyun Sword Sect's Bai Yujing.
He still stood with his hands behind his hands, looking calm.
"Since Brother Lei is so confident, why don't you go in alone and kill that master-level monster?"
Lei Lie The smile on his face froze slightly.
Although he likes to be direct, he is not stupid.
Naturally, it is impossible to go deep into the Cloud Mist Mountain Range alone and face an unknown master-level monster.
"Humph."
He snorted coldly and refused to answer the question.
Bai Yujing didn't take it seriously and looked as usual.
Hundred Flower Valley's Liu Meiniang smiled softly, and the laughter was like a silver bell, floating in the dusk.
"Why are you two doing this? You are both here to eliminate demons, so working together is the right thing to do."
Lei Lie and Bai Yujing looked at each other noncommittally, but no longer tit for tat.
Nether Pavilion's Li Hanjiang stood with his hands behind his back, and his pair of Gray-White's eyes swept across the crowd, finally landing on the Azure Profound Sect's Gu Changqing.
"Brother Gu, I haven't seen you for many years. Are you okay?"
His voice was low and hoarse, like sandpaper rubbing against each other, which was quite uncomfortable in the ears.
"Stop being so pretentious, you Nether Pavilion have been acting frequently over the years, which has caused a lot of trouble for me Azure Profound Sect."
Gu Changqing looked away from the Cloud Mist Mountain Range, glanced at Li Hanjiang, and said coldly.
"Brother Gu, why should you be angry? I have not been involved in sect affairs for many years. Those are the decisions of the juniors."
Li Hanjiang said with a slight arc at the corner of his mouth.
Rain Listening Tower remained silent and did not speak. He just stood there quietly, as if he was integrated with the surrounding night.
Huiming The old monk clasped his hands together, glanced at everyone, and said in a calm voice:
"Donors, why don't we and seven other people enter the mountain from seven directions at the same time and advance inward in a fan shape? No matter which party finds the monster, they will send a signal, and the other six people will rush to support immediately."
"In this way, we can not only avoid being defeated by the monster one by one, but also cover the search range to the greatest extent."
As soon as these words came out, the other six people nodded slightly.
This proposal is indeed sound.
"What Master Huiming said is absolutely true."
Liu Meiniang spoke first, with a soft voice:
"Then just do as the master says."
Bai Yujing nodded and said nothing.
Lei Lie snorted, which was regarded as the acquiescence.
Li Hanjiang stood with his hands behind his hands, his eyes stayed on Gu Changqing for a moment, then moved away and nodded as well.
Gu Changqing said nothing, just nodded slightly.
Silence remained silent, but the figure seemed to shake slightly in response.
"That being the case, it's settled."
Huiming The old monk put his hands together and spoke in a calm voice:
"Tonight, I will rest outside the mountain all night, and early tomorrow morning, we will enter the mountain at the same time."
Everyone nodded and said nothing.
The dusk is getting darker, and the last ray of skylight is swallowed up by the distant mountains.
Cloud Mist Mountain Range became darker and darker in the night, like a crawling giant beast.
The next morning, when the sky was still dark, the seven figures had already disappeared into the vast Lin Hai of the Cloud Mist Mountain Range.
Gu Changqing wore a dark green robe and walked with her hands behind her back.
He didn't use any Body Movement, he just took normal steps, but with every step he took, his figure floated more than ten feet away.
There were several feet of dead leaves under his feet, but he seemed to be stepping on the void, unfazed by the dust.
All the surrounding breaths are within his perception.
The breathing of vegetation, the squirming of insects, the gurgling of distant streams - everything is clearly discernible, like an unfolding picture.
For a master-level expert, even if he does not practice Tracking Secret Technique, relying on the master's essence Divine Strength, he can still possess extremely terrifying perceptions.
However, half a day passed--
He found nothing and found no master-level monster.
There are quite a few monsters encountered along the way.
There was a Upper Third Grade giant python entrenched next to the stream. Its scales were pitch black and as thick as a bucket. It sensed his breath and pounced on him.
He didn't even raise his eyes, he just casually flicked his sleeves, and a flash of green light flashed, and the giant python broke into two pieces, and blood sprayed out, dyeing half of the stream red.
There was a Upper Third Grade giant ape lurking in the canopy, with arms as thick as tree trunks and a pair of eyes as scarlet as blood. When he saw him passing by, he jumped down suddenly and smashed his head with his fists with a whistling sound.
He didn't stop, he just stepped aside and pointed with his backhand, his fingertips pointed at the giant ape's heart.
The huge body of the giant ape suddenly fell to the ground, twitched twice and then became silent again.
There was Upper Third Grade Giant Bear who was hiding deep in the cave. Hearing the noise, he rushed out and stood upright. He was over three feet high. With one palm strike, it was enough to crack the monument and crack the stone.
He didn't even look back, he just kept walking forward.
Giant Bear The palm landed three feet behind him, and the ground shook, leaving a deep palm print.
Giant Bear himself, however, seemed to be hit by an invisible force. His huge body flew backwards, breaking several ancient trees as thick as an arm, and there was no sound again.
One head, two heads, three heads...
More and more Upper Third Grade monsters died under his hands.
But these are not what he wants.
What he wants is to find that possible master-level monster.
However, until the sun set in the west and dusk gradually faded, he was unable to sense any grandmaster-level aura.
In the evening, seven figures returned to the meeting point at Shanhui as agreed.
When Gu Changqing arrived, three people had already returned first.
Vajra Temple's Huiming The old monk sat cross-legged on the bluestone, with a peaceful aura around him. When he saw Gu Changqing arriving, he nodded slightly.
Hundred Flower Valley's Liu Meiniang stood under the flower tree, still holding a small Gangqi flower in his hand.
She raised her eyes and looked at Gu Changqing, a trace of inquiry flashed in her watery eyes.
Rain Listening Tower's silence still stands in the shadows, as if it has never left.
Soon after, the other three people also returned one after another.
Lei Lie of the Tyrant Blade Sect doesn't look very good.
Lingyun Sword Sect's Bai Yujing still looks calm.
Nether Pavilion's Li Hanjiang stood with his hands behind his back, and his pair of Gray-White eyes swept over everyone.
"How?"
Huiming The old monk spoke first, his voice calm.
Everyone was silent for a moment.
Lei Lie snorted, "No."
Bai Yujing shook his head slightly.
Liu Meiniang sighed lightly.
Silence remained silent, but shook his head slightly.
Li Hanjiang's Gray-White eyes flashed, and he slowly said, "I don't have one either."
Everyone's eyes finally fell on Gu Changqing.
Gu Changqing was silent for a moment and said slowly, "No."
As soon as these words came out, all seven people frowned slightly.
No?
The seven of them tore through almost the entire Cloud Mist Mountain Range from seven directions, killing countless monsters along the way, but not even a shadow of the master-level monster was seen.
"Did you miss it?"
Lei Lie spoke with a deep voice.
"The monsters rioted that night, and thousands of monsters attacked at the same time. It is definitely beyond the control of ordinary monsters. The one who can cause such a movement must be a master-level monster."
"But we have searched the entire mountain range, and we have not detected even a trace of the aura of a master-level monster."
Huiming The old monk said slowly, his clear eyes looking into the Cloud Mist Mountain Range depths.
"Could it be that... that beast had a premonition of danger and ran away in advance?"
Bai Yujing frowned.
This speculation made everyone silent for a moment.
Not impossible.
The master-level monster's intelligence is no weaker than that of humans. If it senses danger and escapes in advance, it makes perfect sense.
"If you really escape, you'll be in trouble."
Lei Lie frowned.
If a master-level monster is not found and eliminated as soon as possible, the consequences will be extremely serious after it hides and grows.
At that time, it will be a disaster for Seven Sects and the entire Qingyang Prefecture.
