"Your Majesty!"
Several Blazing Sun King's Estate strong men who had a lucky escape flew over, all with injuries and pale faces.
"What are the casualties?"
Tang Muzhi asked in a deep voice.
"Back to your lord, more than half of the powerful men in the royal sect have died, over there Town South King's Mansion"
An old man's voice trembled.
"Almost the entire army was wiped out."
Tang Muzhi had a complicated look in his eyes, and then said coldly.
"Follow me to the Town South King's Mansion to have a look."
When he came to the sky above the ruins of the Town South King's Mansion, he saw a strong man from the sect covered in blood kneeling on the ground, holding a half-broken flag in his arms. That was the symbol of the Town South King's Mansion.
"What happened?"
Tang Muzhi landed in front of the man with a cold voice.
The man raised his head, his eyes full of hatred and despair.
"Adopted father. Adopted father, he was plotted by Qin Tian!"
"Qin Tian?"
Tang Muzhi's pupils shrank.
"That boy who came back from southern Xinjiang?"
"That's him!"
The man gritted his teeth.
"The adoptive father had already forced him into a desperate situation, but who knew that Qin Tian used some unknown means to actually make the spiritual power in the adoptive father's body go out of control?"
Tang Muzhi felt a storm in his heart.
Qin Tian, this young man he had never taken seriously, could actually plot Nangong Tiance to death Earth King Realm?
"Tell me the details!"
Tang Muzhi's voice was low, but he had begun to reassess the situation in his heart.
Once Nangong Tiance dies, there will be chaos at the border between the two domains, and he must get more information as soon as possible.
Just when Blazing Sun City was in chaos, thousands of miles away on the border of Great Desolation City, an ancient teleportation array suddenly lit up with dazzling light.
"Buzz"
Amid the fluctuations in space, a slender figure slowly emerged.
Several warriors guarding the teleportation array immediately became alert, pressed their weapons, and stared at the intruder with vigilance.
The light dissipated, revealing a young but aged face.
The man was about 27 or 28 years old, dressed in green clothes, and hanging on his waist was a simple jade pendant with the word "Linlang" engraved on it.
"Who is coming?"
The leading guard warrior asked in a deep voice. Although his tone was tough, there was fear in his eyes that someone who could use this kind of long-distance teleportation array was by no means an ordinary person.
"Great Desolation City Linlang Pavilion, Third Pavilion Master Gu Sheng."
The man's voice was calm, but it carried an unquestionable dignity.
The faces of several guarding warriors changed greatly when they heard this, and they immediately knelt down on one knee.
"Seen Third Pavilion Master!"
Gu Sheng nodded slightly.
"Activate the formation and send me to Great Desolation City dungeon."
"Yes!"
The guarding warriors did not dare to neglect and immediately began to adjust the formation.
However, just when the teleportation array was about to activate, Gu Sheng suddenly frowned, flashed, and jumped out of the array range.
"Third Pavilion Master?"
The guarding warrior looked confused.
Gu Sheng didn't explain, just raised his head and looked into the distance with solemn eyes.
The next moment, his body swayed and he rose directly into the air, flying rapidly towards the north.
"This"
The guarding warriors looked at each other, completely confused as to what was happening.
But faced with the decision of the strong Heavenly Martial Realm, they didn't even have the courage to ask.
Gu Sheng's figure turned into a stream of cyan light in the air. It was so fast that it disappeared from the end of the field of vision in the blink of an eye.
What he used was Linlang Pavilion's secret "Ghost Shadow Escape Art". His figure was as erratic as a ghost, and he appeared dozens of miles away in the blink of an eye.
However, just as he was passing over a wasteland, three sharp qi machines suddenly rose from the ground and locked onto him.
The moonlight is like water, falling on the deserted mountains and forests.
Gu Sheng gathered his breath and stood on the branch of an ancient pine, looking through the night at several looming figures not far away.
"It's me."
He did not hide his whereabouts, and actively released his energy. His voice was particularly clear in the silent forest.
"I am Gu Sheng, do you remember me?"
"Gu Sheng?"
A cold female voice came from the ground, with a hint of confusion at first, and then turned to surprise.
"Are you Gu Sheng? No, you were only at the Black Tortoise Realm in the beginning, but in less than three months, you have already reached Heavenly Martial Realm?"
The voice paused and seemed to be speaking to someone else.
"No need to hide, he is not an enemy."
Several Dao Body shadows walked out of the darkness.
The leader was a slender woman, wearing cool light armor, with a large area of milky white skin glowing in the moonlight, but wearing a ferocious bronze mask on her face, which looked particularly strange.
"Qing Tan girl, long time no see."
Gu Sheng floated down from the treetops, and stood firmly in front of Shen Qingtian with his clothes flying.
"Three months, from the Black Tortoise Realm to the Heavenly Martial Realm. It seems that I underestimated Mr. Gu before."
Shen Qingtian's voice came from under the mask, with a hint of admiration.
Gu Sheng glanced at the two people behind her. One was Qin Yurou, whom she had worked with before, and had a familiar spirit beast bag hanging around his waist. Presumably the Treasure Seeking Mouse was still there; the other was a strange young man in colorful clothes, with a handsome face but a bit of arrogance, and his cultivation level was around the sixth level of the Heavenly Martial Realm.
"Each other."
Gu Sheng looked away.
"You used to be at the fourth level Heavenly Martial Realm, but now you are at the eighth level, and you entered the country very quickly."
Shen Qingtian chuckled and did not answer, his expression under the bronze visor could not be seen clearly.
Gu Sheng The topic changed.
"I wanted to go back to the dungeon and came here because I felt your energy, but I didn't know what you were doing."
He looked at the other two with meaning.
"Accepted the commission from the Holy Court to surround and kill evil cultivators."
Shen Qingtian said calmly, his voice a little deeper.
"The other party is extremely cunning. We have five people here, and two of them have died. It is estimated that their combat power is comparable to that of the sect."
Hearing the word "Zongjing", Gu Sheng's eyes lit up.
He needs an opponent like this to hone himself and test the results of these three months of practice.
"Want to help?"
Qin Yurou asked softly. The spirit beast bag on her waist trembled slightly, as if Treasure Seeking Mouse inside also felt the tension.
"It depends on whether you are willing to hire me."
Gu Sheng The corner of his mouth raised slightly.
"Just the right time to stretch your muscles."
Shen Qingtian nodded without hesitation.
"You have good fighting ability, you can join, and you will have a share of the reward."
"Wait a minute."
The young man in fine clothes suddenly spoke, his brows furrowed.
"This person's origin is unknown and his strength is only Heavenly Martial Realm. Will he be a hindrance?"
Gu Sheng frowned slightly. This young man's cultivation was only at the sixth level of the Heavenly Martial Realm, one level lower than Qin Yurou, but he actually disliked him first.
"Jiang Feiyu, you and I are not familiar enough to call each other by your first names."
Shen Qingtian The voice suddenly turned cold, and there was a chill under the bronze mask.
"The mission is led by me. If I hadn't saved you, the two of them would not have died. You can quit if you are dissatisfied."
Jiang Feiyu's face froze, with a sinister look in his eyes, and finally he snorted and said nothing.
"Mr. Gu, our temporary stronghold is ahead."
Shen Qingtian's tone softened a lot when he turned to Gu Sheng.
"Go there and explain the mission information in detail."
Gu Sheng nodded in agreement.
He could have used Source Power to easily deal with the evil cultivator, but this time he wanted to fight with his own strength, and it was necessary to understand the intelligence.
The four of them walked through the dense forest and came to an abandoned Daoist temple.
There are several hidden restrictions outside the temple, which would be difficult for ordinary people to discover unless Shen Qingtian leads the way.
"The senior sister who arranged the formation has died."
Qin Yurou stroked a crack on the door frame of the Daoist temple, his voice choked.
Shen Qingtian was silent for a moment and said.
"Find a way to deal with the evil cultivators first, and then seek justice for those who died."
She turned to Gu Sheng, her voice solemn.
"The evil cultivator we want to kill is Blood Refining Method, who calls himself 'Blood Refiner'. This person was originally a disciple of Northern Region, a small sect. He was expelled from the sect for secretly learning forbidden arts, and later fell into evil ways."
"Blood Refining Method?"
Gu Sheng frowned slightly, and his fingers unconsciously rubbed the handle of the knife at his waist.
"I did encounter similar evil cultivators in Wuyun City Qin Family, but that one was only at the third level of the Heavenly Martial Realm."
Shen Qingtian was dressed in white clothes, but her eyes were filled with worries that could not be resolved.
"This is different. He originally only had Heavenly Martial Realm, but after absorbing the corpses of two Heavenly Martial Realm seventh-level warriors."
She paused, her voice low.
"It has broken through to the sect realm."
"Zongjing?!"
Qin Yurou exclaimed, and the long sword in his hand was unsheathed with a clang.
"Then what are we waiting for? Hurry up and notify the Holy Academy to send elders to come and destroy it!"
Gu Sheng raised his hand to signal her to calm down, but his eyes never left Shen Qingtian.
"Tell me more about it. What else is special about this evil cultivator?"
Shen Qingtian's slender fingers passed through the air, and a light blue light curtain emerged, with several hideous wound patterns appearing on it.
"I fought with him three days ago and killed him three times."
She pointed to the deepest wound on the light screen.
"This sword almost cut him in half, but..."
"Instant healing?"
Gu Sheng narrowed his eyes.
"Not bad."
Shen Qingtian put away the light curtain and looked solemn.
"I suspect that he has repaired the blood core, and his physical strength is comparable to Body Tempering Nine Heavens peak."
Gu Sheng nodded thoughtfully.
"Other than that?"
"There is also an evil method to control blood lines."
Shen Qingtian turned his right hand over, and a few strands of scarlet thread appeared in his palm, twisting like a living thing.
"These blood lines can penetrate into a warrior's body and extract life force, covering a range of about three hundred feet."
Qin Yurou took a deep breath.
"Doesn't this mean that as long as you get within three hundred feet of him, you may be drained of life silently?"
"It's not that simple."
Gu Sheng suddenly spoke.
"The bloodline takes time to invade, and"
He looked at Shen Qingtian.
"There should be some restrictions, otherwise he would have been invincible."
Shen Qingtian glanced at Gu Sheng approvingly.
"Indeed. The blood line needs to break through the target's protective energy first, and the number is limited. Last time I saw him control up to ten blood lines at the same time."
Gu Sheng had a glint in his eyes.
"Do you know where he is hiding now?"
"A border town, mixed in with ordinary people."
Shen Qingtian points northwest.
"It's less than thirty miles away from here. If a disciple of the Holy Academy had not been killed while carrying out the commission, we would never have discovered that such a demon was hiding near Great Desolation City."
Gu Sheng pondered for a moment and suddenly said.
"I'll lure him out."
"What?"
Qin Yurou exclaimed.
"Brother Gu, this is too dangerous!"
Shen Qingtian was thoughtful.
"What do you mean"
"I'm not from the Holy Court. Evil cultivators should be able to tell from the Qi machine."
Gu Sheng calm analysis.
"As long as he thinks I'm a 'soft persimmon', he will take action. When the time comes."
"I understand."
Shen Qingtian's eyes flashed with determination.
"I'll go with you. If we two look out for each other, we'll have a greater chance of escaping."
Qin Yurou bit his lip.
"Then I'll go too!"
"No!"
Gu Sheng and Shen Qingtian said in unison.
"Why?"
Qin Yurou widened his eyes in grievance.
Gu Sheng was about to explain when a sharp voice suddenly interrupted.
"Are you crazy?!"
Jiang Feiyu turned out from behind the tree, his face as pale as paper.
"Zong Realm Evil Cultivator! You actually want to take the initiative to provoke me?"
He rushed to Shen Qingtian.
"Qing Tan, you promised my brother to protect my safety!"
Shen Qingtian had impatience in his eyes.
"Jiang Feiyu, I didn't say I would take you with me."
"That won't work either!"
Jiang Feiyu shouted hysterically.
"You leave, what if the evil cultivator comes here? How can I cope with it alone?"
Gu Sheng glanced at him coldly.
"You can return Great Desolation City."
"Gu Sheng! Who do you think you are, worthy of looking at me like this?"
Jiang Feiyu was so angry that his whole body was filled with infuriating energy, and his Daoist robe automatically moved without wind.
His right hand was pressed on the hilt of the sword at his waist, and the fingers with bulging veins showed the rage in his heart.
Gu Sheng turned around slowly, and there seemed to be ice condensation in those dark eyes.
When he glanced at Jiang Feiyu, the latter took half a step back involuntarily.
"I'm looking at garbage."
Gu Sheng's voice was terrifyingly calm, and every word was like an ice knife piercing Jiang Feiyu's heart.
"You"
Jiang Feiyu's face instantly turned red, feeling mixed with shame and anger.
How has he, a direct descendant of the Jiang family, ever suffered such humiliation? "
Seeking death! "
With a "clang" sound, the long sword was unsheathed, with light blue Qi flowing on the blade.
Jiang Feiyu's body was like electricity, and the tip of the sword was pointed directly at Gu Sheng's throat. This sword came out with anger, and he had used the Jiang family's secret skill "Azure Rainbow Piercing Sun".
Shen Qingtian exclaimed.
"Senior Brother Jiang, stop!"
But it was too late.
Gu Sheng's eyes flashed coldly, and his figure disappeared from the place like a ghost.
Jiang Feiyu felt his eyes blur, and there was a sharp pain in his chest. He flew upside down like a kite with its string cut off, and fell heavily on the bluestone ten feet away.
"Poof"
Jiang Feiyu spat out a mouthful of blood, and his face instantly turned pale.
He struggled to hold up his upper body and looked at Gu Sheng who was walking slowly in disbelief.
"How dare you."
Jiang Feiyu's voice trembled, not only from pain, but also from fear.
The power of that punch was far beyond his imagination.
Gu Sheng looked down at him condescendingly, his voice as cold as a knife.
"Say one more word and I wouldn't mind letting you stay here forever."
Jiang Feiyu trembled all over, the killing intent in his eyes was definitely not a bluff.
His lips wriggled a few times, but in the end he didn't dare to make any more sound.
"Fellow Daoist Gu, please be merciful."
Shen Qingtian quickly stepped forward and stood between the two of them.
She frowned slightly and looked at Gu Sheng with a somewhat complicated look.
"Senior Brother Jiang was just impulsive."
When Gu Sheng withdrew his gaze and turned to Shen Qingtian, the chill in his eyes subsided slightly.
"Miss Shen, it's time for us to set off."
Shen Qingtian nodded and turned to Jiang Feiyu.
"Senior Brother Jiang, your injury is not serious, just adjust your breathing here. Fellow Daoist Gu and Junior Sister Qin and I will go to find out the details of the evil cultivator first."
"You."
Jiang Feiyu gritted his teeth, but saw that the three of them had reached a consensus and no one paid any attention to his opinions.
