I began to understand the myriad things by chopping wood

Chapter 256: The mantis stalks the cicada, Xie Yuan is behind

The three people who came out from the bushes in the distance were none other than the three people from the Chenjun Xie family who were at the second level of transformation, led by Xie Lingyun.

The stunning girl in the pink dress held a soft sword in her hand and approached the center with a cautious look on her face; the twin ponytails behind her head had been loosened and tied into a bun, which not only made it more convenient for fighting, but also made the delicate and unruly girl look much more mature and stable.

The three of them formed a pincer attack and slowly approached the center, where they discovered that the two huge monsters had completely died. The wounds on their necks were horrifying, and their blood had almost been drained.

"They are the demon tiger and demon bear in the third transformation realm!"

Xie Lingyun's voice was somewhat surprised:
"He died not long ago... Such a strong aura."

"Indeed. And look at this wound, it seems to be... an axe?"

A young man next to him said in surprise:

"Lingyun, is there anyone here who uses an axe?"

"Not one."

Xie Lingyun thought about it and replied in a low voice.

The young woman and man next to them looked at each other, nodded slightly, and showed solemn expressions.

They also didn't remember who came with the axe at the altar.

However, looking at the ferocious and brutal wounds, which were caused by a single axe, they were clearly caused by a deadly weapon. They had already imagined a strong and powerful man like a peerless warrior killing the two beast monsters with an axe.

"Could someone have hidden an axe?"

Xie Lingyun frowned.

This matter is a bit weird. Obviously no one used the axe, but axe wounds appeared in front of him.

But it is not impossible to explain. Either someone cheated secretly and brought some treasure that contains hidden weapons, or someone was lucky and got the powerful weapons from the ruins so quickly.

But no matter which one it is, it is enough to attract their attention.

Especially with two such powerful beast monsters, if they were to deal with one, they would have to be cautious, as they certainly could not kill both with one blow.

The three of them explored for a while, and they all had ideas in their minds. They looked at each other and silently became alert.

Suddenly, the woman cried out in a low voice:

"You...you look! There are human remains here!"

Xie Lingyun and the other man took a closer look and indeed found several broken arms and legs.

However, the remains were gnawed by the bear monster and then destroyed by the earth-shaking fight between the two beasts, so only a little bit was left and it was unrecognizable.

"Which family is so unlucky? Were they attacked by two beasts right after they arrived?"

The woman sighed softly. She didn't expect that there would be casualties this time.

The man chuckled:
"Sister Ying, the beast monsters are strong, but no matter which family of ours encounters them, we should be able to escape. Except for that family..."

The woman named Sister Ying was stunned for a moment and said:
"You mean the Yao family?"

"Haha, of course it's them."

"but……"

Sister Ying hesitated for a moment and glanced at Xie Lingyun:
"But Yao Tianchuan's strength is even a little bit lacking in spiritual charm. It doesn't look like he has no way to deal with the monster."

The man frowned when he heard this, and felt that there was some truth in it.

Xie Lingyun suddenly said:

"These two people were not killed by the beast monster."

"what?"

"What do you mean?"

Sister Ying and the man said in surprise at the same time.

Xie Lingyun pointed at the wreckage and said slowly:

“Although it’s been gnawed almost to pieces, there’s not a single piece of clothing or weapon left. Although the beast monsters here are greedy, they don’t like to gnaw on those things.

“Also, the bracelet is missing.

"There should be two people here. They were killed by others and their things were taken away."

Sister Ying and the man's pupils shrank instantly, and they subconsciously raised their weapons and looked around.

"Is it Yao Tianchuan..."

The man asked in a low voice.

Xie Lingyun frowned:
"I don't know. But he's a famous swordsman, there's no way he'd hide an axe... And there's no reason for him to attack his own people, right?"

The three of them felt that it was a bit weird and they discussed it for a long time, but still couldn't figure it out.

"Maybe things have changed this time."

Xie Lingyun concluded, then looked at the two people next to him:

"Sister Ying, Brother Qi, and..."

Xie Yuan hid not far away, quietly watching their discussion, secretly admiring in his heart:
"This little girl looks savage and violent, but she looks smart and reliable once she gets into the right state. No wonder she is the leader among her brothers and sisters despite her young age. It seems that it is not just because of her status."

She actually found out that she was the one who killed the two people, so... let them do whatever they want.

It's still early to go out, so we should take one step at a time. Although most of the noble families are hateful, Xie Yuan will not kill everyone he sees, especially those who are not from the Yao or Qian family.

But later they whispered to each other and deliberately used their inner strength to block out the sound, so Xie Yuan could not hear what they were saying.

Xie Yuan saw the three men discussing for a while, then inspecting the bodies of the two beasts, collecting precious items such as the monster's heart and monster's gall, and then preparing to leave.

However, these demon tigers and demon bears are just demon beasts, and cannot be considered as the monsters that can transform into human form as mentioned in the legend. They do not have things like inner elixirs.

But Xie Yuan still felt annoyed. It was clearly his trophy, but they picked it up!

He stared at the backs of the three people, turned his eyes, and followed them quietly.

This took half a day. The three of them walked very closely. They didn't see many monsters along the way, maybe because they were too brave, not a single one in the third transformation realm. They only killed a few monsters in the second transformation realm.

These three people are quite cautious and capable. They are obviously the carefully trained children of wealthy families. They are completely different from the playboys like Yao Tianfeng.

Especially Xie Lingyun, who was extremely skilled in using the soft sword. Her cultivation was very high despite her young age. Her strength was even above that of her brothers and sisters from the same clan. It could only be said that she was worthy of being the daughter of the head of the Xie family in Chen County.

However, the strength of sword-wielding masters of the same generation would often be greatly reduced when encountering Xie Yuan. With a sword-heart, he could fight against swords with bare hands without any problem.

Xie Yuan followed behind for a long time, evaluated the strength of the three people from the Xie family, and nodded slightly.

"Roar--"

A wild roar interrupted Xie Yuan's thoughts, and a leopard suddenly jumped out of the woods in front.

Xie Yuan raised his eyebrows. The beast monsters in this place now seem to have one characteristic in common: they are huge, as big as the Ten Thousand Monsters Mountain.

It was as if this was a country of giant beasts, or that anyone who strayed here had shrunk and looked like a child compared to these ferocious beasts.

Xie Yuan even had a sudden thought: could it be that this place was just an ordinary deep mountain to the ancient people, and these monsters were just ordinary wild beasts at that time, but people now have become smaller than they were then?
However, he immediately gave up this idea. These monsters are not just ferocious beasts that have grown larger. The power contained in their blood and the intelligence displayed in battle are much higher than those ordinary wild beasts of the same species.

But a monster is still a monster. Among masters of the same level who have tacit cooperation and diverse martial arts, pure physical strength cannot make up for the gap in other aspects.

Even some monsters in the third transformation state can be killed by three elite families who know how to advance and retreat in moderation.

This leopard was obviously a demon beast at the third transformation stage. Although its limbs were lowered and it looked like it was attacking, its shoulder height was still taller than several humans.

Its body is elegant and agile, but even in the enlarged version, you can still see its muscles. It is obvious that it is the best among the monsters in terms of speed and strength.

"Be careful."

Xie Lingyun had a serious expression on her face and winked at her fellow tribesmen next to her.

They both nodded silently, then spread out a little bit to surround the beast.

The leopard's smart eyes kept scanning among the three people, as if it was selecting a target.

The monster's intuition told it that these three humans were somewhat dangerous, but each of them was weaker than itself.

It hesitated for a moment, but its desire for flesh and blood overcame everything else. It was difficult to find food as delicious as the three people in front of it in the mountains.

The leopard growled and lowered its shoulders again, with its huge head like a boulder almost touching the ground.

Xie Lingyun's expression froze, knowing that the monster was about to attack, but she did not show any fear on her face.

call out--

The leopard kicked its legs hard, making almost no sound, and it was like a flash of lightness, and it pounced in front of Xie Lingyun in an instant.

Xie Lingyun turned slightly, and dodged the leopard's sudden pounce as if dancing. She shook the soft sword, and did not attack the leopard's tough and shiny fur, but made a detour and stabbed the leopard's abdomen!
Roar--

A wild roar was heard, and a cut was made on the leopard's abdomen. Xie Lingyun only pushed it slightly, and its extreme speed caused huge damage to herself.

However, the pink-skirted girl's face was solemn. Although the sword had hit the leopard's soft abdomen and had achieved success, the damage caused was not as high as she had imagined. The body of a monster in the third transformation realm was stronger than iron, so even its weakness was only relative.

Xie Yuan's eyes flashed as he watched. He was amazed at the magical power of Xie Lingyun's soft sword, and he also had a deeper understanding of the monster's physique.

Xie Lingying and Xie Yu, who were standing nearby, rushed forward at the same time, each holding a sword, and while the leopard had not yet turned around, they added to its injuries.

Although the forms of their weapons were different, all three of them used swords, following the trend of the children of aristocratic families.

The leopard let out two more screams of pain, then turned around abruptly and swung its tail, trying to knock the two men over.

The monster's tail looked soft, but it was like a battering ram when it hit them. Even though the few people were masters in the second transformation realm, they would probably only suffer minor injuries.

However, Xie Lingying and Xie Yu were well prepared. After striking with the sword, they did not seek further blows. Instead, they retreated swiftly and avoided the attack from the golden leopard.

The three of them spread out again not far away and surrounded the monster. They had won a great victory in the first round.

The leopard instinctively felt that something was wrong, but its limited intelligence was not enough to make an immediate plan to escape. In fact, with three people surrounding it, it would be difficult for it to run even if it wanted to.

"Ho!"

Xie Lingyun's voice was like an oriole coming out of a valley. With a clear shout, she took the initiative to attack with her soft sword.

The leopard raised its claws cautiously, but the snake-like soft sword bypassed the huge front paw and stabbed directly into the leopard's mouth.

With a "swish", the soft sword only slightly pierced the demon leopard's lower jaw, then turned and slashed, leaving a wound that looked hideous but was neither deep nor long relative to the size of the demon beast.

The leopard retreated in pain, but was stabbed by Xie Yu and Xie Lingying who were well prepared, giving it two more wounds with a sword each, and then it retreated.

"It does feel a bit like a primitive hunt."

Xie Yuan gave high praise to several children from aristocratic families.

The reason why humans can defeat wild beasts and even monsters that are much stronger than themselves is because of tools, collaboration, and wisdom.

This hunting of ten thousand monsters in the mountain really has the meaning of paying tribute to ancestors and training descendants.

And there is also that bracelet that extracts blood and energy to speed up cultivation.

With such resources, the noble family should not be underestimated.

Xie Yuan secretly breathed a sigh of relief. Even for the weakest families, Qian and Yao, it would be a long process to overthrow them.

After several rounds of skillful and tacit cooperation between Xie Lingyun and the other two, the golden leopard had many wounds all over its body and was bleeding continuously.

Even with the physique of a beast demon, it felt its strength draining away quickly. It panicked and wanted to escape, but it was too late.

Seeing the leopard rushing left and right under the siege of the three people, breaking trees and raising dust, making the forest a mess, but it still couldn't escape the encirclement of the three people. The three people did not lose their vigilance because they were about to succeed, and they still patiently attacked and retreated with one sword. Xie Yuan nodded slightly.

almost.

He took a step forward, appeared above the battle group like a shadow, and raised the sword in his hand.

As the sword wind started, Xie Lingyun's heart moved, and she noticed the figure in front of her, and she cried out:
"spread!"

The three members of the Xie family seemed to have been prepared. They immediately dispersed and moved away from the sudden figure.

Xie Yuan was a little puzzled, but felt that they were very cooperative, so he suddenly stabbed down with the sword in his hand, using the Great Golden River Skill and the powerful Autumn Wind and Fallen Leaves Sword to pierce into the leopard's brain and smash it to pieces.

Such top-level internal energy is enough to make any ordinary martial arts become unpredictable. What's more, even if not all of Xie Yuan's martial arts are magical, they are at least top-grade.

The leopard let out a wail, and then its huge body straightened up, fell down stiffly, and continued to twitch.

Rich blood energy came out from the leopard's wound, and all the invisible energy was absorbed by the jade bracelet on Xie Yuan's hand.

The jade bracelet glowed slightly, and there seemed to be traces of blood flowing inside the ring, dyeing it slightly different in color, which was extremely gorgeous.

Xie Yuan nodded towards Xie Lingyun and said with a smile:
"Thank you, Miss Xie! You're so polite for even stepping aside."

As soon as he landed on the ground, he immediately slipped into the nearby forest and disappeared without a trace.

Xie Lingyun and her two fellow tribesmen were stunned and stared at each other for a few seconds before they came to their senses.

"Is it really Yao Tianchuan?"

"He didn't leave!"

Xie Lingying and Xie Yu exclaimed at the same time and looked at Xie Lingyun.

Xie Lingyun just concluded that the murderer must not have gone far away, because the blood of the two giant beasts had not been completely absorbed.

They were on guard all the way, so as soon as Xie Yuan rushed out, the three of them dispersed tacitly to prevent Xie Yuan from launching a sneak attack on them.

Who knew that Xie Yuan had no intention of attacking them at all. He just picked the peaches gently and was very surprised at their cooperation.

I came out to grab the things myself, and they cooperated and let go... I can only say thank you.

Xie Lingyun was stunned for a moment before she reacted and gritted her teeth and said:
“This guy is here to steal prey!

"Damn it! Damn it, damn it, damn it! Yao Tianchuan! Just wait for me!"

Xie Lingyun stamped her feet in anger and ran to the leopard to take a look. The huge blood and energy essence had been absorbed by Xie Yuan's bracelet, and the corpse looked dull and lifeless.

The three of them finally besieged the enemy for a long time, but in the end, the most valuable blood and energy were sucked dry by Xie Yuan in one gulp, and even the victory record was counted as his.

Xie Yu and Xie Lingying looked at each other, both looking a little solemn.

Xie Lingying whispered;

"This Yao Tianchuan's swordsmanship...is indeed not to be underestimated."

"Yes, with one sword, he smashed the hardest head of the golden leopard. Lingyun, that one move of his was not a stroke of luck. You should be careful if you meet him."

Xie Yu also said with some fear.

Xie Lingyun gritted her teeth and said fiercely:
"It's just a chance to take advantage of something! We've exhausted the monster's energy, otherwise how could it dare to jump on its head? Despicable fellow!"

Although she was very stubborn, she knew in her heart that what they said was right.

"But why did he kill his own people? No, was it the axe he used? It didn't look like it just now..."

Xie Lingying asked with some doubt.

"And they didn't attack us..."

Xie Lingyun shook her head, unable to figure it out, suppressed her doubts, and said coldly:
"Let's go! A sneak attack and a burst of sword energy will consume a lot of his energy. This can't be repeated. I wonder if he dares to come again!"

An hour later.

"Ouch——"

As the head of a giant red fox with three tails exploded and fell crookedly, Xie Yuan turned over and stood firmly on the tip of the tail that was still erect. As the tail swayed back and forth, he looked down at the three people with a smile like a weightless shadow:

"Haha, Miss Xie, you are too polite again!"

"Yao-Tian-Chuan!"

Xie Lingyun's face turned red with anger, and she gritted her teeth and said:

"Don't you have any prey of your own?"

"Yes, I have!"

Xie Yuan blinked:

"I killed it, the bracelet records it, and I stepped on it. This demon fox is my prey!"

"It's mine! We fought for so long to kill him!"

Xie Lingyun was very angry today and said in a shrill voice.

Xie Yuan deliberately raised the bracelet and looked at the sun:
"Let me see... this thing doesn't seem to say that."

"You obviously stole it! That one doesn't count!"

"The elders all speak this way, there's nothing we can do about it."

Xie Yuan said regretfully.

Xie Lingyun's teeth were almost broken as she glared at Xie Yuan fiercely. She took two deep breaths before she managed to calm down.

Then she stared at him and suddenly said:
"Why did you kill your two brothers?"

Xie Yuan frowned slightly after hearing this:
"It wasn't me, Yao, who killed him."

"Huh, if not you, who else could it be?"

Xie Lingyun snorted and stared at him closely:
"Although I don't like your Yao family, why do you want to kill your relatives?"

"They all said it wasn't me, it was someone else."

Xie Yuan raised his eyebrows.

"Someone else? Who else is here besides us?"

Xie Lingyun sneered.

Xie Yuan said without comment:
"I don't know. I got separated from them. The scars on the two monsters were caused by a master with an axe. How could it be me, Yao?"

He had heard the conversation between several people and knew that they were suspicious, so he went along with it.

After I go out, I will see the situation. I may have to go back to the Yao family, so I can’t admit it casually.

Xie Lingyun's delicate brows slightly frowned, feeling that it didn't make sense.

She glanced at Xie Yuan with sharp eyes, but could not find any place where the axe could be hidden. She frowned and said:
"It's really not you? You must have hidden the axe somewhere!"

"A stupid thing like an axe is only used by a reckless man. I only love swords in my life, and I never use other weapons."

Xie Yuan acted like a cold and arrogant swordsman.

Xie Lingyun pondered for a moment and felt that what Yao Tianchuan said made sense.

Who killed the Yao brothers?
Xie Lingyun frowned, feeling a little weird.

Xie Yuan secretly laughed at her confused look.

The Xie family of Chen county may be a potential ally of the Yao family. One is unknown among the top three surnames, and the other has been at the bottom of the eight major families for many years. It is hard to say whether they will collude.

Xie Yuan just happened to have a grudge with the eldest daughter of the Xie family, so he had to make good use of it.

He bent his knees slightly, floated down from the fox tail, and said:
"Xie, Miss. I'll accept the demon fox blood. See you later."

"Wait--"

Xie Lingyun only said one word before Xie Yuan disappeared, leaving her unable to finish her words.

Seeing that she couldn't catch up, she bit her lip and said with bared teeth:
"Don't let me see him again!" Xie Yu and Xie Lingying breathed a sigh of relief. Xie Yuan's performance put a lot of pressure on them, so it was better for him to leave.

Especially when they learned that he was not the murderer who attacked his own people, although things became even more bizarre, they felt relieved, at least they should not fight with such a person.

Unconsciously, although they were descendants of the Xie family who were respected by other noble families, they became more wary of the Morning Star of the Yao family.

"What kind of body movement is that? It doesn't look ordinary either."

Xie Yu said solemnly.

Xie Lingyun snorted and said in a muffled voice:
"It should be the master of Qiufeng Tower's unique skill, the Shadowless Step."

"Qiufeng Tower Master's unique skills? How could he know it?"

Xie Lingying was surprised.

Xie Lingyun shook her head:

"My dad told me that, too—wait, he's not still following me around, is he?"

Xie Yu and Xie Lingying looked at each other and said uncertainly:

"Isn't it possible? You can do it once, but not three times. If you do it again, it will be too much... And since it is a unique skill, it should not be used all the time. He should find a place to refine the blood essence."

Xie Yuan followed not far behind, looking at the three people's cautious searching eyes and smiled slightly.

With the mastery of the Heavenly Hidden Art, he became invisible to them.

If you want to improve the Yao family's ranking, in addition to increasing your own gains, another way is to weaken your opponents.

The Xie family's second level of transformation had basically no gains, but he himself gained a huge amount, and he would definitely be ranked seventh or above, while the Xie family might end up at the bottom.

If he went back like this, the Yao family would definitely reward Xie Yuan greatly. But such targeting and maliciousness, although the Yao family gained the advantage of ranking, in the end, they would definitely have a grudge against the Xie family, which was definitely not worth the loss.

The Yao family couldn't say anything to Xie Yuan. The most they could do was to advise him to be more polite to outsiders in the future, and then they had to swallow their anger and praise him for his ability and being the savior of the family.

Xie Yuan looked at the girl in the pink skirt in front of him, laughed, and prepared to catch the sheep and pull it apart.

……

Deep in the second mountain.

Two men and one woman, dressed in Qian family clothes, led by the woman with snow-white skin, walked deep into the forest.

There were many glowing eyes in the woods along the way, and powerful auras were stirring, much stronger than those monsters in the first mountain.

However, these extremely powerful monsters looked at the three people in front of them, especially the woman in the front who was extremely petite compared to them, and they hesitated instinctively. The inexplicable fear made these monsters dare not act rashly.

Finally, a huge shadow couldn't bear it anymore and suddenly jumped down from a rock, smashing in front of the three people from the Qian family, shaking the monsters in the dense forest next to them to the ground.

The woman looked at the tiger demon in front of her that was as big as a hill and smiled lightly, not taking it seriously.

The tiger demon's huge eyes, flashing red, were like copper bells, reflecting the woman's snow-white skin.

It opened its mouth and uttered awkward human words:

"People...stay..."

If Xie Yuan was here, he would be extremely surprised. He didn't expect that there was a monster here that could speak human language!
No, perhaps this can no longer be considered a monster. If it takes one more step, it may transform into a real monster.

This is a tiger demon that is only one step away from the Grandmaster realm or the Transformation realm.

The purple-clothed woman smiled softly and made a charming sound:
"There really is a beast that can talk. It's quite courageous."

The tiger demon seemed to sense the woman's contempt. He roared angrily, stopped talking, and lowered his body slightly.

Facing the tiger demon that was ready to attack, the woman in purple smiled lightly and suddenly took the first step.

The next moment, she appeared in front of the tiger monster like a phantom, but in the tiger monster's huge eyes, the reflection was still in the same place.

A white fist as big as a mountain hit the tiger demon's head directly. The tiger demon had no reaction at all. He let out an earth-shaking roar, then pounced forward with his claws and grabbed the woman in front of him.

However, the woman suddenly disappeared like a bubble, and turned out to be just an illusion. The two huge claws slapped together, making a loud bang.

The woman instantly appeared above the tiger's head again, raised her fist, and hit the back of the tiger's head hard.

The tiger's eyes suddenly rolled back and he vomited blood. Then the woman delivered one earth-shaking punch after another, creating phantoms and violent whirlwinds all over the sky.

But within a few breaths, the tiger demon, who was as powerful as a mountain, fell to the ground, staggering, with blood flowing from all his orifices.

The woman enjoyed the fight to the fullest, exhaled, kicked off her boots with her long legs, stood on the ground barefoot, step by step.

"Tsk. I just got excited."

She shook her head, not even looking at the huge blood and treasure-covered tiger demon, walked past the huge corpse, and continued walking into the mountains.

The two Qian family disciples behind them turned a blind eye to all this and also did not absorb the blood energy. They silently followed the woman up the mountain and gradually crossed the previous range. Behind them was the huge tiger corpse.

It didn't take long.

A figure appeared in front of the tiger corpse. He was handsome and tall, with a strong aura. It was Wang Qiwen, the son of the Wang family.

He looked at the corpse of the demon tiger, examined it carefully, then looked toward the mountain with his brows furrowed.

The two companions beside him also looked at it and said in a hissing voice:
"The Qian family? When did their family have such a powerful woman? I've never heard of her. Logically speaking, such a hero should not be an unknown person."

"It's hard to say. Maybe they invited helpers from Qiufeng Tower..."

Another person said meaningfully, but he didn't say it was cheating.

The person in front suddenly realized and nodded silently:

"Most likely."

Wang Qiwen did not interrupt, but he had some doubts in his heart.

The assassins of Qiufeng Tower are very powerful, but the way of assassination is unconventional. Except for geniuses like the owner of Qiufeng Tower, it is difficult for many people to reach a high level and they will hit a bottleneck.

This woman's skills are totally different from those of Qiufeng Tower's crooked methods. Besides...

"Why are they going up there? They are beyond the boundary drawn by our ancestors. It's hard to say whether there are monsters or demons in there."

Wang Qiwen frowned.

The two fellow tribesmen next to them looked at each other and shook their heads, indicating that they didn't know.

Wang Qiwen was deep in thought when he suddenly heard a loud laugh:
"Wang Qiwen, what are you daydreaming about? How many beasts have you killed who can speak human language? If you don't move, don't expect your Wang family to catch up with you this time!"

He looked down and saw a carefree young man laughing on a huge rock with a huge corpse under his feet.

"Cui Lei."

Wang Qiwen's eyes flashed with gold, and he smiled slightly:
"So what if we let Brother Cui go first? The one who laughs last is the winner."

After he said that, he no longer cared about the Qian family, and led his fellow tribesmen into the dense forest near the boundary to hunt monsters.

Only the descendants of the Cui and Wang families have the strength to test this border and head straight for the powerful monsters.

Just a few hundred meters above this mountain road, there is a cave.

The three people from the Qian family looked at the murals and altars in the cave and identified them carefully.

"Bang-bang bang-"

The cave was shaking continuously and gravel was falling like chips.

There is a huge claw outside the cave, which is constantly knocking on the cave. The power contained in the claw is terrifying. I am afraid that even a warrior in the third transformation realm will be smashed to pieces if it is just hit lightly.

However, the cave was too narrow for the beast to get even one of its claws in. Constant ramming did not cause this seemingly ordinary cave to collapse, so it could only keep slapping and roaring in vain.

The noise made the other two Qian family members change color, but the woman was not moved at all. She just admired the mural with interest.

The two people behind couldn't help themselves and whispered:

"Your Excellency, have you found any clues?"

"found it."

The woman chuckled:
"I didn't expect it to be so smooth. It must be God's help. This is it."

"right here?"

The other two were somewhat surprised as they watched the barefoot woman jump onto the altar and begin a mysterious dance.

Those dangling white feet seemed to never get dirty, the soles of the feet were still extremely white and tender, with a hint of pink, swaying back and forth, causing the two subordinates' hearts to beat violently. They quickly lowered their heads, not daring to look anymore.

Once upon a time.

Once upon a time.

The jade feet kept tapping on the altar.

Gradually, the monsters outside stopped attacking the cave.

The entire Wan Yao Mountain Range seemed to resonate with the woman's dance.

Deep in the mountains.

The three Qian family disciples were standing silently in the dense forest. Not far in front of them were three Fanyang Lu family disciples, who were besieging a demon beast in the third transformation realm.

The strange thing is that the three men were not hiding far away, but the three Lu family members, who were full of energy in the fierce battle, did not notice it at all.

Suddenly, the leader of the Qian family raised his head, closed his eyes slightly, felt it for a while, then opened his eyes and said enthusiastically:

"The Envoy seems to have succeeded."

The other two also looked excited:
"God bless the Holy Church!"

"Then, we..."

One person asked in a low voice.

The leader nodded silently, stood up straight, and took out his long sword:

"It's time to start the mission."

They no longer concealed their aura, and it was obvious that the three Qian family members who were sent to the first level of the mountain revealed the powerful blood energy of the third level of transformation!
A few miles away from this forest.

The three people from the Xie family - or rather two people - who were besieging a monster beast, had assigned Xie Yu to stand guard nearby.

As for who they are on guard against, it goes without saying.

But in this case, the strength of their prey cannot be very strong. It is just a monster in the second transformation realm, which can be dealt with by even one person. Xie Yuan was too lazy to fight for it. He leaned against the tree trunk nearby, boredly watching the performance of the two young ladies from aristocratic families.

Suddenly, his expression changed slightly, and he glanced into the distance, somewhat puzzled:

"It seems like there is a strong burst of blood energy? Which family's children are fighting fiercely with the monster?"

Xie Yuan was a little stern. It seemed that the strength of this family should not be underestimated, otherwise he would not have been able to sense it from such a long distance.

Xie Lingyun then paused and looked into the distance, seeming a little confused.

However, she immediately lowered her head, quickly killed the monster in front of her, absorbed its blood, and then said depressedly:
"A little bit!"

Then she gritted her teeth and said:

"If it weren't for Yao Tianchuan..."

Hearing her undisguised mumbling, Xie Yuan thought silently not far away:

"That's good enough. If I go too far, I'll even take these away from you. I won't even give you a mosquito leg."

He looked at the jade bracelet on his hand. There was a blood mist inside, and the blood jade looked extremely gorgeous.

But it's not just good-looking. The pure blood energy extracted from this blood is the essence obtained from the monster beasts of Wan Yao Mountain that are naturally raised and full of spiritual energy. As long as you find a place to sacrifice and refine it, the effect will be even better than the Leopard Embryo Jade Pill.

But there is no need to rush. It is still early to leave anyway. Let's wait until the jade bracelet has more blood and energy, and then offend the twin ponytails a little more.

Xie Lingyun muttered to herself, and after dealing with the monster, she continued to move forward with her fellow tribesmen.

Soon they reached a cliff, and Xie Lingyun's eyes suddenly lit up when she saw a giant deer lying down.

"Good prey—eh."

She paused and found that the giant deer monster had long since lost its breath. It turned out that someone else had been there.

She sighed, and walked forward with Xie Yu and Xie Lingying to check. They wanted to see how long the deer monster had been dead, and to check the surrounding traces so that they could change direction and avoid their companions, so as not to be one step behind others.

Xie Yuan stood beside a rock in the distance, glanced at the three people from the Xie family, then looked at the scenery outside the cliff, feeling relaxed and happy.

The scenery left over from ancient times is the same and different at the same time. The mountains overlap, towering into the clouds, covered with green trees, and undulating like a painting.

He was admiring it, but frowned slightly, feeling something was wrong, so he looked back again.

Now he realized something was wrong. The giant deer seemed to have been surrounded and killed, but the traces around it did not look like a battlefield. Instead, it seemed...

Was it moved here by someone?
Xie Lingyun seemed to have discovered this at the same time, and suddenly shouted:
"careful!"

Xie Yu and Xie Lingying raised their heads and were on guard when suddenly a man emerged from under the deer and hit Xie Lingying with a palm.

Caught off guard, Xie Lingying tried his best to block it, but felt a huge force on his palm, and flew backwards and fell off the cliff.

"Sister Ying!"

Xie Yu shouted and wanted to turn around to save him, but then the black shadow suddenly attacked him at an astonishing speed.

Xie Yu rushed forward with a sword, but the sword missed.

The black shadow moved swiftly and slipped into his arms in a flash. With a strong push, Xie Yu could not bear the huge amount of blood and energy. He spurted out blood with a "wow" sound and fell off the cliff like a kite with a broken string.

The deer carcass on the edge of the cliff turned out to be a well-chosen trap.

"Sister Ying! Brother Qi!"

Xie Lingyun screamed, her eyes turned red, and with a "Ya" sound, she thrust the sword forward and stabbed at the man.

The shadow swung the long sword in his hand, directly sweeping away Xie Lingyun's soft sword. However, the tip of the soft sword was like a maggot on the tarsal bone, and it actually wrapped around his long sword and stabbed at his tiger's mouth!
The black shadow frowned, suddenly let go of the sword, flicked his fingers, and with a ding, the soft sword was bounced away. Then he reached down and grasped the long sword again, his movements as smooth as flowing water.

Three realms of change?
Xie Yuan frowned and looked at the man's clothes, surprised again.

The Qian family? How could there be a three-transformation realm here?

Xie Lingyun felt the great force coming from her tiger's mouth, looked at the ordinary-looking young man in front of her, gritted her teeth and said:

"The third level of transformation? What is your Qian family's intention in cheating?"

Seeing that the two people had been eliminated, the Qian family member was no longer anxious and laughed:

"Miss Xie, didn't you see it? I'm here to kill people."

Xie Lingyun's eyes were red, and she suddenly thought of something and blurted out:

"Did you kill the Yao family members too?"

Yao family?

Why are colleagues so quick to act? This is his first case against the Xie family.

But he did not refute it. If his colleagues went, it would be the same as him going.

After killing the descendants of Fanyang Lu, the three men decided to act separately. This way they would be more efficient and could eliminate these elite families at lightning speed before others noticed anything.

Anyway, they are all in the third transformation realm, and it is expected that no one among these second transformation realm disciples can be invincible. The only thing to do is to avoid being surrounded by these three people intact.

The man smiled and said:
"Miss Xie, don't be anxious. You go first, and soon everyone will go down to accompany you."

Xie Lingyun subconsciously activated the jade bracelet, but found that it did not respond. Wan Yao Mountain seemed to have been blocked by an invisible boundary wall, and her heart sank.

She bit her lip:
"You are not a member of the Qian family. Who are you?"

The man held a long sword in his hand and approached Xie Lingyun step by step. He saw that the situation was settled and chanted leisurely:
“When I came, there was no light; when I left, there was no darkness.

“Have pity on the people of this world, who are filled with worries and fears and sufferings.

“I pity the world, and light descends upon it.

"Light the stove, and the whole world will know!"

"Demon Cult!"

Xie Lingyun snorted angrily, and hatred appeared on her beautiful face:

"It's you again!"

Seeing the man approaching step by step with his momentum gradually increasing, she couldn't help but show determination on her face and instead of retreating, she advanced.

The soft sword glowed coldly, showing its fierceness and cold edge!

The man's face was slightly stern, and he used his long sword to cautiously fight with the ever-changing soft sword. He did not respond to any empty moves, but only used real strikes. Relying on his superior blood and energy, he firmly suppressed Xie Lingyun's ingenious swordsmanship.

Bang.

There was another loud noise, and the man used his strength to defeat Xie Lingyun's skill, and used the blood energy of the third transformation realm to deflect Xie Lingyun's soft sword again.

His skills and talents might not be as good as Xie Lingyun's, but he was steady and cautious, using his strengths to attack the enemy's weaknesses, not giving the enemy any chances, and it was obvious that he was not an easy opponent.

Xie Lingyun's face inevitably showed some despair, and she thought to herself:
"It would be fine if you brought treasures with you, but unfortunately I came here to train with only a sword in my hand. I didn't expect that someone from the Demon Sect would sneak in. It's really unexpected... Dad, Mom..."

Her eyes were red, she put down the soft sword, and said with a tearful voice:

"Can you please let me go? I'm willing to do anything..."

As she spoke the last part, her head dropped and her eyes became watery, which made me feel even more sorry for her.

The man was not moved at all, and pointed his sword at Xie Lingyun:
"Miss Xie, I've seen this trick of yours many times in the church. I don't dare to believe you."

Xie Lingyun listened, sighed, and put away her expression. Her eyes were red, and she said resolutely:

"In that case, let's die together!"

She did not hesitate, and all the pure blood and energy in her body surged instantly, using the final method that the family had specially prepared for the women in the clan.

The power is so great that no body is left.

If Yao Tianchuan were here, there might still be a chance.

It's a pity that even if he was there, he would probably just be watching the fun...

At the last moment, Xie Lingyun was thinking inexplicably and sighed softly.

The man looked at this scene and instantly became very alert.

Right now.

He was just about to avoid the attack when he suddenly felt a numbness in the back of his heart, then his eyes popped out and his whole body became stiff.

The man looked down with great effort and found a dull sword tip sticking out of his chest inexplicably.

How can it be?

How could someone... attack me by surprise?

Xie Lingyun's eyes widened instantly, her mouth opened, and she almost forgot to cast the spell.

She blinked her big red eyes and watched a shadow emerge from behind the man. The shadow stretched its head and smiled at her:

"Thinking about me?"
