‘This kind of aura is actually that of an expert in the Dan Formation stage! ’
Cao Mengrong's pretty face turned pale, and she felt the powerful aura emitted by the two leaders on the giant bat, which was almost the same as the oppression given to her by her ancestors, and her heart suddenly sank.
The giant bat flapped its wings wildly at this time and instantly hovered in mid-air.
The next moment.
A wild hurricane swept through and headed straight for the ship.
Cao Mengrong and others happened to be standing at the outlet of the wind. The situation was extremely critical. They hurriedly grabbed the railing of the boat and managed to steady themselves without being blown over by the wind.
However, the leather bags, boxes and other items on the deck were scattered all over the place like fallen leaves that had been ravaged by the strong wind, making them a mess.
But apparently no one cares about that at the moment.
There were even many mortals who were blown to the ground by the strong wind. Two of them were almost blown down by the hurricane. It was Wang Tiejiang and the strong man who had quick eyesight and quick hands who caught them and prevented them from falling. in the sea.
At this moment, the originally peaceful atmosphere on the ship suddenly became tense.
Everyone on the big ship, whose expressions had changed slightly before, looked at each other with fear in their eyes.
"Where are you from? Who is in charge here? Stand up and speak." At this time, a middle-aged man on the back of the giant bat, about forty years old, glanced at the fleet below like a knife. , spoke coldly in the common language of Dajin.
Although his voice was calm, it revealed an unquestionable majesty.
This person is one of the people in the alchemy stage.
The other one was a woman in white clothes and she looked like she was in her twenties. Although she was somewhat pretty, her expression and appearance were as cold as ice.
Upon hearing this, Mr. Zhou felt guilty, but after glancing at his second young lady, he gritted his teeth and immediately walked out of the crowd, bending down to salute and reply.
"What I want to ask is not a mortal like you." The man's face darkened and he said impatiently.
The huge figure under his feet suddenly waved his wings, and another strong wind hit him. Master Zhou was immediately knocked unsteady and fell backwards, almost sitting on the ground.
When other people on the boat saw this scene, they became more and more frightened.
The other party seems to have bad intentions.
Everyone's eyes turned to Cao Mengrong in unison.
It is said that this second young lady once practiced in the Numon Temple. She should be different from ordinary mortals and may be able to cope with the situation in front of her.
Cao Mengrong took a deep breath, then stepped forward, cupped her hands and lowered her head and said: "Little girl Cao Mengrong, I wonder what the purpose of these two seniors and several Taoist friends are here? They want to find someone and something. There are still other missions, and the juniors and others will try their best to cooperate.”
When the man heard this, he frowned slightly, a look of surprise flashed in his eyes, and then he said coldly: "You are just a junior at the third level of Qi Refining. It is really rare that you can remain so calm when facing us! You are Disciple of which sect? ”
"This junior is a disciple of Xuanyu Dao." Cao Mengrong breathed a sigh of relief and said respectfully.
Hearing the words, the man pondered for a moment, and a disdainful smile appeared at the corner of his mouth: "Xuanyu Dao? I seem to have never heard of this name. I'm afraid it won't be ranked in Liaozhou, let alone in the entire Jin Dynasty. .”
Cao Mengrong's heart sank, but he still responded calmly: "What the senior said is absolutely true. The Xuanyu Tao where the junior belongs is indeed an unknown sect in Liaozhou."
The man nodded, too lazy to talk to such a small sect member. Then he scanned the people on the deck with lightning eyes, his eyes flashing with light, as if he was using some secret technique to investigate.
Cao Mengrong's heart tightened, but he believed that he had no enmity with the person in front of him, so although he was a little uneasy, he was still calm.
With the other party's cultivation level in the alchemy stage and the magnanimity of the large sect, he would not be in trouble with a junior like himself in the Qi refining stage.
After a while, the cold light in the man's eyes subsided, and he turned to the cold and charming woman beside him and said: "It seems that there is no such traitor here. They all use their true appearance."
The woman nodded when she heard this, and after turning her eyes to the other men and women who came out of the cabin, she also shook her head.
Seeing this scene, everyone on the boat couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief. This matter should end here.
However, at this moment, the man frowned slightly, turned to Cao Mengrong and said calmly:
"Isn't there everyone on this ship on the deck now?
Call out all your companions. We are looking for someone who we suspect is mixed up in your ship. Once found, he will leave and will not do anything to you. ”
As the man spoke, whispers continued, and then he waved his hands to give instructions.
The six Foundation-building men and women on the giant bat immediately flew out like arrows, scattered around the ship, and tightly surrounded the entire cabin.
However, their formation showed a subtle angle to a room at the back of the cabin, and they had obviously locked the target.
And that room is still silent now.
Seeing this, the rest of the people didn't dare to take a breath.
As for Cao Mengrong, the second young lady of the Cao family, her face turned as pale as snow at this moment. She never thought that there was actually the person the other party was looking for on the ship.
The man on the back of the giant bat saw no reaction in the cabin, and a cold smile appeared on his lips.
He flipped his palm lightly, and in an instant, several blazing fireballs appeared out of thin air, like the scorching sun across the sky, with overwhelming momentum.
He waved his hand gently, and those fireballs shot straight towards a cabin like arrows.
However, at this moment, a bitter laughter suddenly came from the cabin.
"Commander Gu! I have fled to Liaozhou, so far away.
Why do we have to kill them all? Do they have to put them to death? ”
Before he finished speaking, the outer wall of the room burst open, and then a white mist of cold air hit the fireballs. Suddenly, the fireballs flashed out in the cold air.
A sturdy young man in his mid-twenties, holding a crystal white ball in his hand, appeared above the cabin with a gloomy expression.
When the monks on the giant bat saw this scene, everyone looked happy.
"Jiang Jianying, the snow crystal bead is indeed in your hand!" The joy on the man's face flashed away, replaced by a ferocious look, "The palace master asked you to take this bead to invite the old man Beixuan of Beihan Mountain, but you actually If you dare to take this bead and run away, what can you say now? If you are wise, come back with us, maybe you can still have a remnant of your soul!"
Following the man's order, six monks in the foundation-building stage, who were like the wind, flew out at high speed on their magic weapons. They quickly dispersed and formed a tight circle, surrounding the sturdy young man and not allowing him to escape. A little chance to escape. "Ask me to invite Old Man Beixuan, do you plan to make me his blood sacrifice?
Don't think that I don't know. When I was sent to perform this mission, I was attracted by my ice spirit root and wanted to use me to refine the Beixuan Sky Demon Pearl! If I didn't run away, I might really end up dead with no body intact! "When the tough young man heard these words, a flash of anger flashed in his eyes, but a sneer curled up at the corner of his mouth.
"Hmph! So what? Don't forget it!
Your cultivation and realm today are all the result of the various miraculous elixirs used in the palace! Without the support of the palace, you would have been just a beggar a few decades ago, and now you have turned into a pile of bones. How can you still become a foundation-building monk?
What's more, the palace gave you a wife, children, and descendants. Shouldn't you use your life to repay the kindness of the palace? "Another pill-forming woman said with a cold expression.
"Fart!" the tough young man sneered.
"It should be said that if Jiang didn't have ice spirit roots, would your Nine Immortals Palace accept me? With my special attribute ice spirit roots, even if the palace doesn't accept me, sooner or later I will become a disciple of other major sects!
< br>
As for getting a wife and having children, you want me to lose my life for these small favors? ! What a joke! How can my road to the great road be hindered by my wife and children! The people in the palace have really good ideas! "The tough young man said with a sneer on his face.
Then he held up the snow-white crystal bead in his hand without hesitation, and a white mist of cold mist emerged from the bead. Then the cold mist surged and instantly spread into a huge mass of cold mist of more than twenty feet, covering his entire body. Shrouded in it, it suddenly became looming.
"The seeds of rebellion have already been planted in your heart. No wonder you don't even care about the safety of your wife and children and insist on taking this road of no return! Now the only option is to capture you and hand you over to the palace!
You think you can fight against us with this snow crystal bead. What a wishful thinking! "The woman said with a cold tone and an expressionless face.
She waved her hand gently, and the six foundation-building monks responded immediately. They raised one hand, and six red flags appeared in their hands.
These Dharma flags were shot out of the hand, turning into six blazing crimson flames, and finally merged into one.
A fire cloud the size of an acre appeared in the sky above the cold fog, and slowly pressed down.
As soon as the tough young man appeared, these people exchanged words one after another, tit for tat, and did not avoid the other people on the ship at all. Everyone was confused and could not understand what the two parties were saying.
I could only vaguely guess that the tough young man seemed to have stolen the treasures from the sect and escaped. He hid on the boat at some point, but unexpectedly he was blocked by everyone in the sect.
On the other side, Cao Mengrong was stunned and shocked beyond words.
She had no time to pay attention to the tense confrontation between the sturdy young man and the people on the giant bat. Just hearing the names of the Lord of the Nine Immortals Palace and the old man Beixuan of Beihan Mountain in her ears made her feel dizzy.
Nine Immortals Palace, although this name is not among the top ten sects in the Great Jin Dynasty, it is enough to awe countless monks.
For Cao Mengrong's Xuanyu Road, the Nine Immortals Palace is like a high mountain, out of reach, and the gap between the two is simply worlds of difference.
The old man Beixuan in Beihan Mountain shocked Cao Mengrong even more.
She had heard about the reputation of this Yuanying monk from the master of Xuanyu Taoist Temple.
Hundreds of years ago, this old man from Beixuan once used his ice-attribute supernatural powers to terrify an area. One can imagine how powerful he is.
In comparison, Master Xuanyu Taoist Temple's own cultivation level is only in the early stage of pill formation, and he may not even be able to match the men and women forming pills on the huge bat in front of him.
At this moment, Cao Mengrong's face turned pale and her heart was filled with panic. She only hoped that the people in the Nine Immortals Palace could successfully regain the treasure and then leave immediately, so as not to cause catastrophe to everyone.
At the moment when Cao Mengrong was shocked, the fire cloud violently collided with the cold fog below, and the hot and cold air flowed intertwinedly, turning into bursts of icy steam, raging in all directions like a strong wind.
This scene was thrilling, and just the power of ice and fire escaping had already affected several people on the deck of the ship.
Among them, Wang Tiegiang's fate was particularly tragic. A falling flame touched him, and with a shrill scream, he was burned to ashes in the blink of an eye. This old man who had been running boats for more than 20 years, Not even the bones are left at this moment.
When the people on the boat saw this, they were terrified and fled to the cabin in panic.
A maid accidentally lost her footing while escaping from the cold and fell into the Shun River with a plop.
She struggled to call for help, but was soon besieged by the ferocious fish in the river. She only let out two shrill screams before disappearing into the waves, and a faint blood red appeared on the river surface.
Cao Mengrong bit her lips tightly, anger and fear intertwined.
In Xuanyu Dao, when had she ever seen such a horrific death scene?
At the moment, Cao Mengrong was filled with anger and fear, and was shocked by the cruel behavior of the monks from the Nine Immortals Palace.
In her opinion, these people from the Nine Immortals Palace seemed to have no regard for the lives of everyone on the ship. Even if the fight was over, they might kill everyone without mercy.
This shocked Cao Mengrong, who had only been practicing for a short time.
After all, the so-called "Snow Crystal Bead" seems to be a rare treasure of the Nine Immortals Palace, and when the two parties just talked, they did not avoid others at all.
Although Cao Mengrong is still young and not deeply involved in the world, he also understands that such secrets cannot be easily leaked.
The monks in the Nine Immortal Palace's core formation stage would probably kill everyone on the ship in order to keep the secret.
Silence!
‘What should I do? ’
Cao Mengrong was anxious and cuddled closely with the little maid Huang Ying. Although she was worried about her mother and younger brother in the cabin, they did not dare to act rashly under the power of ice and fire.
Master Zhou and others had already hid at the edge of the deck, looking for cover and had no time for him to care.
What's more, with the current situation, Master Zhou and the others do not have the strength to change the situation.
Tsk tsk tsk!
Above the sky, steam rose rapidly and spread.
Although the snow crystal bead is magical, the tough young man is just a foundation-building monk who doesn't even have the ability to refine this thing, so naturally he can't control it as he wishes.
Therefore, when the two sides clashed, Hanwu immediately fell into a disadvantage.
The sturdy young man in the cold fog had a solemn expression, knowing that the situation was not good.
He tried his best to control the cold fog and tried to break out of the fire cloud surrounding him, but every time he tried, he was suppressed by the six monks. He was trapped in the sea of fire and could not escape, and he gradually became anxious.
As time goes by, the cold fog gradually becomes thinner.
The tough young man continued to inject magic power into the beads, trying to stabilize the situation, but Huo Yun's power seemed to be superior.
After a meal, the originally huge cold mist had shrunk to only a few feet in size. (End of chapter)
