Chapter 123 Rumors
While Lu Xiaotian was sleeping leisurely on the tree canopy, the two groups of people in the grotto were indeed in extremely heavy moods.
The cave was filled with the smell of blood and putrefaction. Many black-scaled winged wind snakes that passed through the holes of the spiritual net were killed by Wu Yan and others who took turns guarding the edge. There were no less than a hundred black snake corpses lying on the ground. Although they had harvested a lot of demon pills, which was a huge profit for most of the Lingxiao Palace monks, no one showed the slightest joy on their face. In order to maintain sufficient mana while continuing to fight and prevent the Evil Spirit Valley monks from coming over, they had to use spirit stones to restore their mana. Over the course of the day, the continuous fighting consumed a large amount of spirit stones. And the situation has not improved at all.
Wu Yanbai's face was filled with despair and she did not speak. The team's predicament was caused by her miscalculation of the situation. At this time, she racked her brains and could not think of any way out. Although she was not as arrogant and arrogant as other Foundation Establishment descendants in Lingxiao Palace, she was still somewhat proud in her heart, but at this time, this pride had been crushed to pieces by the ruthless facts.
"You guys said that if Junior Brother Lu is out, will he find a way to rescue us too?" Zhu Ang gasped for air after changing his position, leaning against the stone wall.
"Stop dreaming. It's good for him to survive alone. How can he take care of us? There are many monks ambushing outside the Valley of Evil Spirits. What role can he play by himself?" The woman who had ridiculed Lu Xiaotian before Archer Wang Ningmei curled her lips and said.
"It's possible. Didn't Junior Brother Lu live alone for more than twenty days before he met us? If he happened to meet other teams from our Lingxiao Palace and come back, we Isn't there hope?" Zhu Ling had a good impression of Lu Xiaotian, and she also knew that at this time, they were already in a desperate situation, and they could only place their hope on such a small thing.
"There is a rumor, I wonder if you have heard of it." Zhu Yuchun, who was sitting next to Zhu Ang, suddenly remembered something.
"What rumors?" Zhu Ling asked.
"You should know Luo Qian from Lingtian Peak Domain, right?" Zhu Yuchun said.
"Among the disciples of Lingxiao Palace, Luo Qian's strength ranks among the top ten. Even if you have never seen him, you have always heard of him. But no matter how powerful he is, what does it have to do with us now." Wang Ningmei snorted.
“A friend of mine in the Lingtian Peak Domain told me that a few days before we entered the Bloody Forbidden Land, Luo Qian was defeated by an unknown Qi Refining disciple from the Qinglian Peak Domain. " Zhu Yuchun said happily.
"What? Qinglian Peak Region? There are no outstanding disciples. Luo Qianqian was defeated by people from the Qinglian Peak Region? How come I haven't heard of such a sensational incident? You are a person who usually talks a lot. I'm afraid not a few of them are true." Zhu Ling doubted it first, and everyone present looked unbelieving.
"That's right, before entering the Bloody Forbidden Land, I went to the martial arts platform every day. Luo Qian has never fought against the disciples of the Qinglian Peak Domain." Wang Ningmei also said.
Zhu Yuchun suddenly said with an unhappy face, "Do I look like someone who talks nonsense? This fight was not in the martial arts arena at all, but took place in the Lingtian Peak Domain. I heard that the cause was that Qinglian Feng's disciple offended Luo Qian in Fangshi, and later something happened to pass through the Lingtian Peak area. Luo Qian personally led people to block him. First, one of Luo Qian's followers named Zhang Tao was thwarted. After losing, Luo Qian lost face, so he took action himself, but failed to get any favors, and was seriously injured. Later, he became so angry that he wanted to use the magic weapon thunder gun. Senior Ji. Luo Qian has a background, so he was not severely punished, but his follower was unlucky.
"Nonsense, how could such a big thing not spread? Besides, how could a Qi Refining Stage disciple who is more powerful than Luo Qian borrow Wuming from Lingxiao Palace." Wang Ningmei didn't believe it anyway.
"Luo Qian was defeated at the hands of an unknown disciple. Naturally, he didn't want to publicize such a shameful thing. It's normal that you haven't heard of it." Zhu Yuchun saw that most of the people present were doubtful, with faces full of doubts. said unhappily. "It's not entirely groundless. Luo Qianqian was indeed injured before entering the Bloody Forbidden Land." Wu Yan, who had been suffering from regret and self-blame, suddenly said at this time. Her father was also a foundation-building monk, and he naturally knew better than There are more ordinary disciples. Her father also specifically told her to be careful with the disciples in the Qinglian Peak Domain after entering the Bloody Forbidden Land, but she didn't expect that there would be so many twists and turns in the process.
“Look, even Senior Sister Wu said it, I’m right.” Zhu Yuchun suddenly raised his head with a proud look on his face and said.
“Even if Senior Brother Luo Qian is injured, it may not necessarily be Lu Xiaotian’s fault.” Leng Qiaoyu, who was friends with Wang Ningmei, argued.
"That's not necessarily true. Junior Brother Lu is also a disciple of the Qinglian Peak Region. There are less than three squads of disciples from the Qinglian Peak Region who entered the Bloody Forbidden Land. Among them, Qian Xu's group is dead and injured. Junior Brother Lu can survive By now, he naturally has his own merits.”
Zhu Ang, like Zhu Yuchun, has an instinctive aversion to elite disciples like Luo Qian. It is because of these people's different origins that most of the sects of Lingxiao Palace's Xiaobi Foundation Establishment Pill were recruited by elite disciples. They really have no background. It is very difficult for people with casual cultivating backgrounds to stand out in Xiaobi. The proportion It can only be maintained at about one-tenth or two-tenths at best.
Wu Yan and Zhu Ling were silent for a while. Based on their current situation, they hoped that Lu Xiaotian was the one who defeated Luo Qian in the rumors, which gave them some hope. In fact, no matter how powerful a person is, They were no match for the team of monks from the Valley of Evil Spirits, but with no other choice, they could only place their hopes on such illusory rumors.
"Senior Brother Ye, there has been no news from Junior Brother Bai who was sent to look for Senior Brother Liu, I'm afraid." Zhao Yong walked to Ye Xingping's side and tried to keep his tone calm, but he tried to hide the worry on his face. Can't live.
Ye Xingping was pacing back and forth, his sinister expression making him look like a wounded beast, ready to rise up and devour anyone at any time. A quick glance at him showed that the faces of his fellow disciples were definitely not good-looking. Even Yu Liufeng, who had made secret glances at him before, was no longer in such a leisurely mood and sat aside with a frown on his face.
Five people were sent out twice, but there was no news from them, and not even a word was sent back. What it means in this dangerous forbidden area has become obvious. It would be fine if he encountered a monster. What Ye Xingping was most worried about was that there were monks from other sects ambushing him outside. Now his team has lost a lot of men and can no longer withstand other casualties.
"Senior Brother Ye, what should we do now?" Yu Liufeng asked pitifully.
"Tonight, while the disciples of Lingxiao Palace are not paying attention, we will gradually withdraw from the grotto."
After a long while, Ye Xingping made a difficult decision, although at this time he gave up trapping Lingxiao Palace. The disciple's efforts have been ruined, but there are monks from other sects outside who are secretly plotting. If they continue to stay in the grotto, they may fall into a desperate situation at any time like the disciples of Lingxiao Palace. Compared to spiritual objects, one's own life is more important.
