The shout of Lu Qinglan came from behind. Hearing the voice, Yi Yang paused and stopped at the edge of the door frame.

He felt like a mirror in his mind. Lu Qinglan just gave away Treasure Medicine worth a hundred Spirit Crystal so happily. It would be a ghost to say that he didn't ask for anything.

Yi Yang turned around and looked at Lu Qinglan standing at the table:

"Miss Lu, is there anything else?"

Lu Qinglan stood up straight, stared at Yi Yang with his dark brown eyes and said solemnly:

"Because of that fruit, I want to make a deal with Mr. Yi."

"What deal?"

Yi Yang stood there without moving, his hand resting on the door frame.

"Please Master Yi, please accompany me into the depths of the Ten Thousand Demon Mountains to find my grandfather."

Lu Qinglan Make it clear:

"My grandfather is a strong Profound Mystery Fifth Stage Profound Transformation Realm Perfection. Even if he is besieged by two Shaman Kingdom Martial Artists from the same realm, he will never fall silently."

"He must have been seriously injured and was hiding somewhere deep in the mountains to recover from his injuries."

"Now I need a helper who is trustworthy and strong enough to accompany me into the mountains to retrieve the person."

Ten Thousand Demon Mountains deep.

Yi Yang quickly went through the weight of these words in his mind.

Where is the depth of the Ten Thousand Demon Mountains?

It was a Jedi place where even the strong Dharma Body Realm would lose their skin. Not only were there high-level Demon Beast, but there were also many elite Shaman Kingdom scouts wandering around, and there were even the two Shaman Kingdom Profound Connection Perfection masters who were hunting down Lu Zui.

This errand is to tie my head to the waistband and rush into the gate of hell.

"Miss Lu thinks too highly of me."

Yi Yang had no expression on his face and just shook his head:

"You know better than me what is deep inside the Ten Thousand Demon Mountains."

"The two Shaman Kingdom masters from Profound Connection Perfection are chasing after your ancestors. I am just a warrior who has just joined Profound Connection Realm. To get involved in this kind of situation is no different than to risk death."

"Besides, we are neither relatives nor friends. The fruit just now is not enough to buy my life."

"What's the benefit?"

Yi Yang asked very directly.

There is no bargaining chip that can make his heart beat. Even if Lu Qinglan tells the truth, he will not jump even half a step into that fire pit.

Lu Qinglan seems to have expected that Yi Yang would say this.

She turned her head and ordered to the old servant next to her:

"Uncle Fu, go out first, guard the courtyard gate, and don't let anyone get close."

Uncle Fu was stunned for a moment, glanced at Yi Yang standing at the door, then looked at his own lady, with a bit of hesitation on his face:

"Miss, your injury hasn't healed yet, this..."

Yi Yang was too strong, and he was a military attache who couldn't figure out the details. Heaven Patrol Office left the seriously injured young lady alone in this room, and Uncle Fu felt really uneasy.

"Get out."

Lu Qinglan spit out two words, and the tone was non-negotiable.

Uncle Fu sighed, not daring to go against his lady's temper. He gave Yi Yang a wary look, walked out of the room, and closed the two wooden doors from the outside.

The light inside the room dimmed.

Yi Yang took back his hand on the door frame, walked to the table again, and looked at Lu Qinglan:

"After sending everyone away, it seems that what Miss Lu brought out is quite heavy."

Lu Qinglan didn't answer, he raised his left hand and wiped Storage Ring on his right hand.

There is one more thing on the table.

It was a piece of neatly folded, close-fitting soft armor. The whole body showed a warm light cyan color, neither gold nor jade, and the surface was covered with fine natural lines like fish scales.

As soon as the soft armor was taken out, the temperature in the room dropped a few points.

A layer of cyan fluorescence visible to the naked eye flows on the surface of the nail leaf, turning bright and dark with the rhythm of breathing, revealing a unique aura of living creatures.

However, there is a three-inch-long gap on the left chest of the soft armor. The scales on the edge of the gap are somewhat dim, destroying the roundness of the entire soft armor.

Yi Yang stared at the soft armor on the table and breathed a little heavier.

The dark brown pupils in his eyes shrank.

Spirituality.

This piece of soft armor carries a spiritual wave that has the same origin as the Mysterious Abyss Saber and Cold Firmament swords.

This is a Spirit Weapon!

And among all the weapons, it is the rarest and most difficult to forge armor type Spirit Weapon!

At the Heavenly Rhyme Pavilion auction a while ago, a Supreme-Grade Treasure Artifact grade "Cold Abyss Scale Armor" was auctioned by a Profound Connection Realm warrior in the second floor box for a sky-high price of 392 Spirit Crystal.

As for the Spirit Weapon level armor, even if it is incomplete, it will not enter the market at all. It will be tightly held in the hands of major aristocratic families and top sects as heirlooms.

There is no other reason. No matter how sharp the sword is, it is just a tool for killing people; but a top-notch protective armor can protect the warrior from disaster and extend his life at critical moments!

For people like Yi Yang who value their lives more than anything, the allure of this cyan soft armor is much greater than the ten Cold Firmament swords put together.

Lu Qinglan stretched out his hand and stroked the gap in the soft armor's chest, and explained:

"This armor is named 'Azure Cloud Flowing Light Armor'."

"It was originally a complete Spirit Weapon passed down from my Lu Family ancestors. When my grandfather was separated from the Lu Family main line in the early years, he took it out with serious injuries. When the main line chased him, a wound was left on it, causing it to become a incomplete Spirit Weapon."

"Although it is incomplete, its foundation is still there, and the spirit inside has not dissipated."

"Wearing it, even if you don't use True Qi at all, the material of the armor itself can withstand the full strength of Profound Mystery Third Realm Dharma Body without being damaged."

"If Profound Connection Realm True Qi is poured into it and the protective blue light in the armor is completely stimulated, even if a strong Profound Mystery Fifth Realm Perfection attacks, it will be able to block three blows for its master."

"If we can find Heavenly Materials and Earthly Treasures in the future and repair the crack in his chest completely, it will also be of great use in the battle of Grandmaster."

Lu Qinglan raised his head and met Yi Yang's gaze:

"As long as Mr. Yi agrees to accompany me into the mountains to retrieve my grandfather, no matter whether he lives or dies in the end, this Azure Cloud Flowing Light Armor will now belong to you."

The room became quiet.

Yi Yang looked at Azure Cloud Flowing Light Armor on the table, but did not immediately reach out to take it. His index finger tapped lightly on the outside of his trouser leg.

He didn't expect that Lu Qinglan would be so generous, and that it would be a incomplete Spirit Weapon armor.

It can withstand the attack of the Dharma Body Realm, and can block three attacks of Profound Connection Perfection after being activated.

If this thing is worn on the body, and combined with the "Martial Extreme Dragon Elephant Body" of his Perfection realm and the Iron Bone of "Divine Bone Blood Refining", who in the same realm can break through his defense?

Even if he faces Zhang Feng, Returning to the Profound Realm, Nine Rivers Sect Elder, he still has the confidence to fight!

Yi Yang The calculations in his mind are running fast.

The current situation is clear.

Jiang Zhongtian has led his troops to fight Tooth-Copper City, but there is no top expert in Crossing Peak Stronghold.

Nine Rivers Sect and Zhang Feng are watching outside the city and may come into the city at any time to get someone.

It seems safe to stay in the city for seclusion, but in fact, it has become a turtle in the urn. The initiative has been handed over to Zhang Feng. Every day, I have to worry about the other party knocking on the door in the middle of the night.

On the other hand, if we take advantage of this juncture to follow Lu Qinglan out of the city and get into the Ten Thousand Demon Mountains.

Zhang Feng must have thought that he was hiding in the city as a coward, but he never thought that he would dare to run into the mountains on his own initiative, just in time to catch the opponent off guard.

Moreover, the time to enter the mountain is scheduled to be a few days later. Taking advantage of these few days, I gathered Golden Sun Snake Heart Fruit and Wuwei century-old auxiliary medicine on hand. I can definitely push Iron Bone from "Divine Bone Blood Refining" to Minor Accomplishment, by the way, completely digest the three small drops of Divine Thought Origin in Sea of Consciousness, and let Divine Sense step into "Illusion-Breaking" Perfection!

At that time, my strength will double again and I will wear this Azure Cloud Flowing Light Armor.

Even if you really bump into those two Shaman Kingdom's Profound Mystery Fifth Stage in the mountains, you can't beat them and they can run away without any problem.

The risks are controllable and the returns are huge.

This deal is worth it!

In just a few breaths, Yi Yang analyzed the pros and cons clearly. He stopped tapping his trouser legs, stretched out his right hand, and pressed it directly on the light cyan soft armor:

"I'll take this deal."

"But the Cultivation Art I'm currently practicing is at a critical moment and I can't leave immediately."

"Give me five days."

"I'll come find you in five days and let's go into the mountains together."

Seeing Yi Yang agree, Lu Qinglan's tense shoulders relaxed, a smile appeared on his pale face, and he hugged Yi Yang's fists.

"Okay, then in five days, Qinglan will be waiting here for Mr. Yi."

Yi Yang nodded, without saying any more nonsense, turned around, opened the door, lowered the bamboo hat, and disappeared outside the courtyard wall after a few ups and downs.

In the yard outside, Uncle Fu heard the sound of the door opening, saw Yi Yang coming out, and hurriedly stepped aside to make way. When Yi Yang's figure disappeared at the entrance of the alley, he hurriedly opened the door and walked into the main house.

"Miss, did he agree?"

Uncle Fu looked at the empty desktop, his brows knitted into a knot.

"I agreed and will leave in five days."

Lu Qinglan sat on the chair, picked up the cold water on the table and took a sip.

Uncle Fu stood at the table, his face full of worry:

"Miss, do you really plan to give him Azure Cloud Flowing Light Armor?"

"That's what I left for you to save your life! Although this Yi Yang showed his hand in Qinggang County, he is still just an Profound Connection Second Realm. Where is that place deep in the Ten Thousand Demon Mountains? The two Shaman Kingdom barbarians from Profound Mystery Fifth Stage are chasing after the master!"

"Can he really make it happen?"

Lu Qinglan put down the water bowl, shook his head and said:

"Uncle Fu, you underestimate him."

"Outside the Qinggang County city, when he chopped Shaman Kingdom hundreds of people Barbarian Blood Battle Formation into pieces with one blow, I could see that his background was not as simple as it appeared on the surface."

"It is impossible for an ordinary Profound Connection Second Realm to have such a domineering body and sword mind."

"Moreover, on the official road back to the city five days ago, Nine Rivers Sect's Returning to the Profound Realm Elder Zhang Feng blocked the road and wanted to arrest him. When he drew his sword, there was not even a hint of fear on his face."

"How can a person who dares to draw a knife on the Returning to the Profound Realm not have the unique skill to beat the enemy?"

Lu Qinglan put down the tea cup, gently rubbed the rim of the cup with his fingers and recalled:

"What's more, as soon as Zhang Feng made his move, Deputy Garrison Commissioner Jiang Zhongtian fell from the sky and not only saved him by force, but also announced in public that he was Chief Inspector of Heaven Patrol Office."

"Who is Jiang Zhongtian? He is a master who has a lot of trouble in his eyes. He doesn't even give face to the four major aristocratic families, but he only favors Yi Yang who was transferred from Suining Prefecture."

"He has a very deep relationship with Jiang Zhongtian. He will never ruin his future in Heaven Patrol Office just to get a piece of Incomplete Spirit Artifact."

"Now inside Crossing Peak Stronghold, Chu Tiankuo is seriously injured, Bai Yuchen is in seclusion, and Jiang Zhongtian has led his troops out of the city again."

"Besides him, I can't find anyone else who is trustworthy and capable of accompanying me into the mountains."

Uncle Fu After listening to his lady's analysis, he opened his mouth, but eventually it turned into a long sigh, and he lowered his head without further refutation.

The room became quiet again.

On the other side, in an inn ten miles away from Crossing Peak Stronghold.

Zhang Feng, the elder of the Jiuhe Sect, was sitting cross-legged by the fire, closing his eyes and regulating his breath. His internal organs, which were injured by Jiang Zhongtian's "Zhongyue" magical power a few days ago, had recovered to 50% after several days of nursing.

There was a rush of footsteps outside the inn.

Wei Xinyuan opened the shabby door curtain and walked in quickly, with irrepressible joy on his face, and knelt on one knee in front of the fire:

"Elder! News just came out from the informants in the city!"

"Jiang Zhongtian and Crossing Peak Stronghold left to accept the sent Qingzhou Army. He will go to the Ten Thousand Demon Mountains later, and he will not be at Crossing Peak Stronghold for the next period of time!"

"Now in Crossing Peak Stronghold, there are only a few warriors from the Profound Connection Realm supporting the scene, and they are all strong men from the aristocratic family and Sects. Profound Connection Realm from Heaven Patrol Office all left with Jiang Zhongtian."

Beside the fire, Zhang Feng suddenly opened his eyes, and there was a terrifying chill in his pupils.

He stood up from Prayer Mat, and his bones made a series of crisp sounds:

"Okay! God is really helping me!"

"Once Jiang Zhongtian leaves, I wonder who else can save that bastard named Yi!"

Zhang Feng turned around, looked at Wei Xinyuan kneeling on the ground, and ordered:

"Send the order and have your people keep an eye on the movement of that house outside the city."

"After you wait for a while and wait for my injury to recover and confirm that Jiang Zhongtian has no hidden plans, you can follow me into the city. I will directly twist off that Yi Yang's head!"
