Chapter 119 Rogue Cultivators of the Central Region
"What a loud tone!"

Seeing this, the other three immediately attacked Song Yan.

just.

Just then, something unexpected happened!
A figure in black robes suddenly rushed out from nowhere.

He kicked one of the Qi Refining Level 6 cultivators in the chest.

"Uh……"

To everyone's astonishment, the protective aura was actually shattered by that kick!
The mysterious man in black robes moved without hesitation, immediately lunging forward and grabbing his head...

He drew his sword horizontally.

puff.

At the sixth level of Qi Refining, a single strike can decapitate someone.

His head flew high, then fell to the ground, rolled several times, and crashed into a pebble. In his now-frozen eyes were shock, fear, and a hint of confusion.

"what?!"

The man in black casually tossed the severed head aside, then made a strange gesture with his fingertips.

The blood-soaked corpse slowly began to shrivel, its essence blood condensing into a bead that fell into the black-robed man's palm.

"Who are you?!"

The leader's voice trembled, and he was horrified.

This person didn't reveal a single trace of his aura from beginning to end; he didn't even know when the other party had appeared here.

"You should... mind your own business."

Song Yan's calm voice came from behind.

hum-

The instant he regained his senses, the incredibly refined sword energy had already pierced through his protective amulet.

The small gong, a ritual implement, shattered with a crash.

"How can it be?!"

He knew that this operation had failed, but how could the other side be so strong that he didn't even have time to think about why?

Nine white sword lights, accompanied by wind and thunder, swirled around him.

Under the raging sword energy, the protective spiritual garment could hardly take shape, and was shattered by the wind and thunder sword energy as soon as it was formed.

laugh.

laugh.

laugh.

The six sword shadows gave him no chance to beg for mercy, piercing through his body one by one.

In the final glance, the remaining three sword shadows had already converged in the air, and then suddenly fell down.

boom--

The sword energy surged like waves, rolling outwards in all directions.

At the same time, the black-robed man's strong hands had already grabbed the collar of the remaining Qi Refining Level 6 cultivator.

With a powerful jolt, he pulled him in front of him, then with a backhand slash, held the blade to his neck before instantly drawing it out.

"puff."

Bleeding.

Seeing that the situation was not good, the cultivator at the fifth level of Qi Refining rushed towards the back of the mountain.

The man in black robes casually slashed his sword, flipped it in his hand, and hurled it at him.

The blade flashed with blood and pierced through the man instantly. The force of the blow, still strong, propelled the mangled flesh several feet forward, pinning the corpse to the cliff face.

The body swayed.

"..."

From beginning to end, it only takes a few breaths.

Of the so-called Five Demons of Cold Mountain, none survived.

Song Yan walked over slowly.

Several white sword shadows flowed down from the sky and returned to the sword box behind him.

He pulled the blood-stained sword from the cliff face and casually tossed it at the man.

"Why are you here?"

The man in black robes accepted it without hesitation.

He walked slowly and deliberately, stepping over pools of blood.

In a relaxed tone: "I also want to ask you, how come you're everywhere I go?"

He was in his prime.

“Doctor Song, now that you’ve entered this immortal mountain’s Taoist sect, you’re no less merciful than I, a demonic cultivator, when it comes to killing people.”

He casually flicked his sword, and blood quickly gathered along the blade, splashing onto the ground.

He then casually wiped the blade with his arm and sheathed it.

Song Yan chuckled coldly: "Aren't these your colleagues?"

In his prime, he was somewhat dismissive.

"Demon cultivator, where did you get this colleague from?"

He casually wiped his face away, then covered it again, his voice deep and somber: "This is not the place for reminiscing."

"Hanshan Market, Yinyun Tower awaits you." Watching Gou Sheng's figure disappear into the woods, Song Yan raised an eyebrow and began cleaning up the battlefield.

Xiao He had already collected all of their Qiankun bags, saving them the trouble of searching.

I don't know where Gou Sheng made his fortune, he doesn't even look at any of these Qiankun bags, he's so rich and powerful.

They removed the heads of the individuals one by one and stored them in a special Qiankun bag.

These are things that can be used to exchange for merit points.

With a flick of his finger, he released several bursts of spiritual flames, which turned the remains of several demonic cultivators into ashes.

Then, as if nothing unusual, they continued their journey towards Xiaohan Mountain.

About half an hour later, they arrived at the foot of the mountain.

Although it is called Hanshan Market, the market is actually hidden in the valley.

From the outside, the cloud waterfall shrouds the mountain, creating a unique and beautiful scene.

In reality, it was merely an illusion array used to isolate mortals.

We walked slowly into the valley.

The scene before me suddenly became clear.

The valley is surrounded by mountains on three sides, and the entrance is directly opposite the highest peak of Xiaohan Mountain.

The steepness on both sides gradually decreases.

The red leaves in the mountains are like blood.

At a glance, this market town covers an area of ​​over a hundred acres.

Many of the buildings on the outskirts are built against the mountainside.

There were quite a few people in the market, and from a rough sense, the spiritual energy fluctuations were all around the Qi Refining stage.

"Let's go find Gou Sheng first."

To be honest, Song Yan had no idea where the so-called Yinyun Tower was.

This was his first time visiting Hanshan Market.

I didn't ask about his prime years at the time, mainly because it would have seemed silly to ask.

Fortunately, Yinyunlou is not remote. Walking along the main street of the market, its signboard soon came into view.

A small restaurant.

It wasn't big, but it was fairly clean, and there were quite a few cultivators inside.

As soon as I stepped inside, a waiter came to greet me.

"Sir, you are...?"

"Someone is waiting."

The waiter was taken aback for a moment, then seemed to remember something: "Ah, I understand, please come with me."

As the waiter led the way upstairs, he pushed open the door to a private room and saw Sheng Nian, who was still hiding inside.

"Dr. Song is so carefree..."

The waiter left with the door closed, and the soundproofing array slowly took effect.

Only then did he abandon his cover-up.

Song Yan sat down in front of him: "Didn't you say that I am a righteous cultivator and don't need to be wrapped up like a dumpling like you?"

In reality, it's because he has run out of ways to disguise himself.

The only human skin mask has already been taken by little Zhaoling.

Later, I still couldn't find anything suitable.

Without wanting to waste words, he immediately asked, "What are you doing here?"

Sheng Nian took a deep breath: "I've come here on orders, to wade into this mess."

"Ordered? Whose order?"

"It's a long story, so I'm too lazy to tell you."

Song Yan didn't pursue the matter further, but instead got straight to the point and changed to a question that he was more eager to know.

"Do you know why those demonic cultivators came here?"

Sheng Nian nodded: "Yes, it's related to a rogue cultivator who fled from the Central Region."

"Central Territory..."

A very far away place.

"Yes."

"I found this out through rather secretive channels."

"In fact, most of the demonic cultivators in Changping right now probably don't know the ins and outs."

"They were just lured here to be used as cannon fodder."

In his prime, he recounted everything he knew.

"It is said that not long ago, a major uprising occurred in the Central Region of the Great Tang Dynasty."

"Although it was quickly suppressed, some unexpected events still occurred."

"A rogue cultivator from the demonic path managed to escape."

"His name is Jin Tianya."
