Chapter 204 Spread
Tang Yue burned 60% of the vines, and they worked together to cut off the rest. Although Tu Wenzhou and Xu Tianwen felt that Tang Yue's fire skills were very good, they were even more surprised by Shang Fanling's killing move. Just imagine that if you attack people with thousands of sharp threads, they can instantly turn them into blood mist. It's really amazing. Terrible.
They usually think that Shang Fanling is a quiet, dignified, gentle and beautiful female cultivator. Many male cultivators are fond of her and are thinking about how to express their feelings to her, but no one has thought about it. She used such a terrifying killing move.
The two of them vowed never to judge people by their appearance again, and they couldn't just look at appearances, otherwise they would suffer big losses sooner or later.
Tang Yue left a small part of the root system as evidence. It is best to let the patrol team take it back for investigation. The patrol team also entered the cave. Seeing that they were safe and sound, they felt relieved.
The person leading the team said: "We must not take such risks in the future. We should wait until we come and act together. If something happens to you, we can't explain it to the mountain gate."
The four of them agreed. , but what I thought in my mind was that it depends on the situation. After all, they are still young and still adventurous.
Tang Yue explained the vines to the patrol. They also found several human bones, countless rotten animal corpses, and plant remnants in the cave.
There were some pieces of clothing on the bones. The patrol team brought the family members of the missing people and asked them to identify whether they were the missing people. The family members burst into tears after seeing the clothes, indicating that they were indeed their family members.
Tang Yue discovered that there was another exit in the small cave and said to everyone: "It is possible that some branches of the vines got out from here and multiplied in other places."
The team leader frowned. If the vines in Wuji Mountain were not eliminated as soon as possible, their number would increase, and more and more people in Wuji Mountain would suffer misfortune.
The entire search was over. Not only Tang Yue and his team discovered black vines, but several members of the team were seriously injured. They had absorbed a lot of vitality and yang energy from the vines. They were in critical condition and were receiving emergency treatment.
After learning about this situation, Headmaster Xu looked solemn and informed the peak masters and family heads to gather to discuss a solution to the vine matter.
“We don’t know why this thing appears in Wuji Mountain. At present, we only know that this vine can absorb people’s vitality and yang energy. If this thing is allowed to continue to grow, I am afraid it will become more and more difficult to deal with, causing a large number of "
As if to confirm his statement, disciples from Wuji Mountain came to report that the elders responsible for studying the vine in Baicao Garden were attacked and injured, and one disciple died.
This bad news made everyone in the hall look even more solemn.
The head of the Dongfang family asked: "I heard that this thing came from the secret realm of Huoting Valley?"
Headmaster Xu shook his head, "I can't confirm whether it was born from Huoting Valley or was taken away by someone. "From Huoting Valley."
The Tu family leader asked, "After this thing becomes a disaster, it will cause a lot of trouble. Are other sects targeting our Wuji Mountain?"
"It's not sure yet. It still needs to be investigated. According to the current statistics of missing persons and casualties, we found it early and this thing has not caused much damage, but it may not be certain next time, so I hope you can contribute and everyone can work together. Vine in the mountains ”
Each family agreed. They and Wuji Mountain both prospered and suffered losses. They usually have their own small thoughts, but in major matters they still have to advance and retreat together.
When the meeting was over, Elder Shui stopped the head of the Dongfang family and asked him if he knew that his affiliated family, the Peng family, sent gangsters to harass the shop he was covering.
The chief of guard punished several local gangsters to work in the mines and took away one member of the Peng family and imprisoned them for several months. But this person was from a branch of the Peng family, and he was sent to take the blame at first glance.
The face of the head of the Dongfang family did not change, "The Peng family actually did such a shameful thing. I will punish them when I go back. Please don't worry, Elder Shui."
Elder Shui didn't expect him either. Heir, I just want to remind you, "Thank you so much, Patriarch Dongfang."
"That's right." Patriarch Dongfang didn't say much after he returned. He just told his wife to restrain her family. Something strange happened recently. Regarding the vines, don't do anything unnecessary, especially don't target the people on Elder Shui's side. If there is an accident, he will be needed to help.
Dongfang Xue's mother knew what her daughter had done, so she told her not to do it again when she got home. It was not appropriate recently.
Dongfang Xue was dissatisfied, "I just felt a little uncomfortable and wanted to vent. I didn't think about anything else."
Her mother advised: "Elder Shui's granddaughter is different from ordinary girls. Cultivation is different and cannot be left to your discretion. In this case, there is no point in doing those small things.”
Dongfang Xue turned to look worried, "The Ji family only has a verbal agreement with our family. There is no exchange of tokens and no contract as evidence. If he wants to change his marriage candidate, what should I do?"
Dongfang Xue's mother also fell silent. There were not many young talents who were the same age as her daughter and whose family background was similar. Ji's family was familiar with theirs. Ji Chongguang's future was bright. He would be the best husband to be her daughter's husband. of.
More importantly, she did not give birth to any other legitimate children, and the head of the Dongfang family was not keen on having children, so she and the head of the family only had one daughter, Xue'er, and no bastard, who would be the future heir of the Dongfang family. She had to choose from several nephews. If Xueer's husband had a worse family background, she would no longer be able to maintain her current status.
Dongfang Xue has been the legitimate daughter of the No. 1 family in Wuji Mountain since she was a child. She is never willing to become the mistress of a middle-class family. If the heir of the Dongfang family were not her brother, she would probably become what she is today. The mistress of the Tu family is like that...
Let alone people, even if you become an immortal or a god, you can't get rid of the pursuit of status. Disciples from a famous family like the Dongfang family care more about things like being well-matched, but not as good as Tang Yue is comfortable in this position.
Dongfang Xue's mother comforted her, "Mother will find a way. Elder Shui's grandson is still young. Instead of worrying about her, it is better to be on guard against other noble daughters."
Dongfang Xue is rational. I know what my mother said is right. There are indeed many women aiming at the position of Ji Chongguang's wife. Their family background, qualifications, and looks are not bad, and the methods they use are more ruthless.
But she had an intuition that Ji Chongguang had something unusual about Tang Yue. Maybe it was because she was good at Taoist scriptures and expected to participate in the world competition, so she treated him differently, but this was enough. It was very different. Almost none of the other young female cultivators caught his eye.
That's why Dongfang Xue had the idea of driving Tang Yue out of the academy so that she wouldn't have too many opportunities to get along with Ji Chongguang.
In fact, this is why Dongfang Xue only thinks about Ji Chongguang from the perspective of men and women. In fact, there are very few male cultivators in his eyes, and he only sees a few outstanding people.
"Mom, can't you really let her leave the school? I won't do anything else to hurt her."
"No, her grandpa cares about her closely. She herself is still a highly valued talent in the school. She is very It’s hard to do anything. Xue’er, you have to know that just because our Dongfang family is the first family, we have to be extra cautious.”
Dongfang Xue can only promise her mother not to do unnecessary things.
After she returned to her room alone, the maid just sent a reply from Ji Chongguang. Sure enough, she rejected her invitation again, saying that she was busy with her studies and had no time to do anything else.
But he had time, and from time to time he would go down the mountain to the shop opened by Tang Yue. The servant had met her several times in the town and told her when he came back.
That’s why she went to the Peng family and asked them to think of a way to close the shop. She didn’t expect the Peng family to be so useless.
If Tang Yue knew about this, he would definitely be filled with questions. Brother Ji loves going to Baixing Shop, couldn’t it be because this shop is great? How could it be because of her?
