Beasts become gods

Chapter 355 A fateful encounter

Author: Sunday Lang

Dusk, Cangjie City.

With the sunset blowing over the mountains and the spring breeze ruffling the hair, Qiao Bang and his party came to the small border town - Cangjie City, a border fortress city made of stone. To the west of Cangjie City is the territory of the Loulan Dynasty, which is composed of countless

The stone wall piled up by the joint efforts of generations formed the most solid boundary line. There was a tall stone tower built on top of the stone wall. It was rumored that four powerful people in the Spiritual Saint Realm were resident in the stone tower. The commander-in-chief of Shangtianmen volunteered after his resignation.

Staying here and setting an example, being shrouded in horse leather is the destination these commanders long for most. Of course, it would be best if they don't have to fight. If there is a fight, then they can only step over their corpses.

The system of Shangtianmen is bloated, and countless scoundrels in the gate are acting up and down, which is getting worse and worse, causing constant public anger. However, they did not expect that after the commander-in-chief resigned, he would choose to garrison in a desolate place on the border. All commanders in the past have chosen this path, which made the uninformed people confused and thought they were superior.

Tianmen's conscience is still intact, so people have different attitudes towards going to Tianmen, with mixed praise and criticism.

Looking at this rough and majestic stone city, Qiao Bang felt that it was not only the wind and sand that hit his face, but also the heavy historical atmosphere.

"Do you know why this city is called Cangjie City?" Qiu Wuhui muttered softly, walking to Qiao Bang's side, the spiritual wings behind his back gradually retracted and merged into his shoulder blades.

"I don't know, is there any allusion?" Qiao Bang asked curiously.

"These stone walls were originally tombstones. As early as the period when the Aoji Empire was not yet divided, this was the most brutal battlefield. Countless soldiers died here. It was not until the empire was divided that there were enough troops to recover it. But it has already been

It was unclear whether they were the corpses of Loulan's enemy soldiers or those of our own. In order to prevent the outbreak of the plague, the corpses could only be cremated together, mixed into the mud, and piled up on the spot to form stone walls, which served as barriers to the Loulan Dynasty.

Separated from the territory of the Jialuo Empire, this stone tower was built in the next two hundred years. You can climb it and look into the distance to observe whether there are any changes in the Loulan Dynasty's army." It was rare for Qiu Wuhui to speak in front of everyone. She had rarely spoken before.

He sighed and completely obeyed Lu Xulei's orders.

"Sister, you know a lot!" Qiao Bang quickly praised. He knew very well that there is no such thing as love or hate for no reason. The fact that people who have known each other for less than a few days are willing to tell him this shows that the relationship has become much closer.

"Because this is my hometown..." Qiu Wuhui murmured, her voice low but still heard by Qiao Bang.

"Hometown, did my sister grow up here?" Qiao Bang was very curious and approached Qiu Wuhui and raised his head and asked.

"That's right. I haven't been in Diang Chong province as long as I can remember, but my mother told me that this is the place where I was born. I have been here several times before, but not much has changed..."

Qiao Bang vaguely understood the implication of Qiu Wuhui's words, thinking that her father was no longer in the world, and it was her mother who raised her...

Qiu Wuhui looked at the mottled stone walls covered with moss and the occasional greenery between the stones. Thinking of the miserable life experiences of the seven people on this trip, she couldn't help but smile bitterly in her heart. After thinking about it, she knew that Qiao Anguo and Yang Chengfu were like this.

meaning of arrangement.

Yu Yifei was an orphan since he was a child. He was picked up by the villagers and brought back to raise him. Later, he became a member of the Dan sect due to his outstanding talent. After years of hard training, he finally achieved success. When he returned to his hometown to visit his adoptive parents, he learned that bandits and bandits would adopt his parents and other neighbors.

They were massacred together, and when asked about the residents of the mountain village next door, they only had a rough idea of ​​the massacre that happened two years ago. Yu Yifei was so angry that he returned to Danzong to ask Cui Quji for help. Cui Quji sent thousands of Danzong disciples to attack the surrounding villages.

All the mountain bandits and bandits covering hundreds of kilometers were wiped out, which gave Yu Yifei a bad breath, and also earned Yu Yifei's heartfelt gratitude, and he swore allegiance to Cui Quji to the death.

The four brothers Li Ruitao, Li Ruiming, Li Ruilin and Li Ruifeng were abandoned at the mountain gate of Danzong. It is impossible to know who their parents are. The fate of the four brothers was to live in the surrounding villages. Usually the head of Danzong would follow them.

The children were given five thousand Gara coins, which was enough to support an ordinary person until adulthood. However, the sect master saw that the four babies had good qualifications, and after repeated inspections, he found that their bodies were not abnormal, and

They did not suffer from any illness, so they were left in Danzong and raised by the elders. They were given the surnames of the ancestors and given names to the four children respectively. Li Ruilin went to Xiuchun Pavilion, and Li Ruitao went to Zhixia.

Ya, Li Ruiming worshiped in Danqiu Valley, while Li Ruifeng worshiped in Wendong Mountain. Later, the four brothers had similar talents, but different levels of diligence. Cui Quji became famous all over the world after several fierce battles, and the four brothers were also assigned to Cui Quji by the clan leader.

, this is the whole story of the four people following Cui Quji.

Lei Tao has a calm personality and does not like to talk. The reason is that he has been fighting in the north with his parents since he was a child. After repelling the ice crystal snow demon and returning to Yongyao City to rest, he was attacked by the Loulan Dynasty army on his way back. Loulan who advanced from the Promir Mountains

The enemy troops did not distinguish between women and children, and the protracted encounter made both sides red-blooded. Lei Tao's mother died in the battle, and Lei Tao witnessed his mother die in front of him, which caused his personality to change drastically. He was cheerful in the past.

The lively Lei Tao became dull and taciturn. His father also tried to guide Lei Tao to be more active, but with little success. He only made Lei Tao more obedient to orders, without much improvement.

Ren Ziyu's father died young. Ren Ziyu has never been with his father as long as he can remember. The only guns and axes left by his father at home are the guns and axes left by his father. His brother Ren Shenggang chose an ax, and he chose a gun. When the gun his father left for him was born,

After the rust became unusable, he built a corrosion-resistant spear. The spear never left his body. To him, the spear was like his father. Carrying it behind his back was like his father telling him to straighten his back and stand upright.

man.

Hu Jiameng... did not belong to the Southern Territory Legion. He was forced to join the escort team. Now it seems that he has adapted to the long journey. He is very energetic and energetic. It does not look like he has been flying for a long time.

.

"Here we are, here is Cangjie City. Countless generations of Lingwu soldiers shed their blood and sacrificed their lives to defend the integrity of the territory. They used their flesh and blood to build this legendary fortress. This was owned by the Aoji Empire when it still existed.

The carrier of the national spirit, countless soldiers expelled the Loulan Dynasty from the border and established and reshaped a new order in this desolate and chaotic land. It is no longer a land where the Loulan Dynasty can take whatever you ask for. Qiao Bang, you have to remember, no matter what

Are you from the Southern Territory or a Garo? No matter how corrupt the imperial court is, the people are innocent and life is precious. Countless soldiers keep the enemy at bay for the sake of their fathers, fellow countrymen, relatives and friends behind them."

"If the empire is in trouble, please don't forget that you are also a spiritual warrior. If an invader raises a butcher knife to attack your compatriots, do you know what you will do, right?"

"Intruders will be killed without mercy!" Qiao Bang responded to Lu Xulei. This time he did not resent Lu Xulei's preaching, because he also agreed that the concept of family and country has been deeply imprinted in his heart, and this is not where he belongs in this life.

It is not a feeling, but countless martyrs in previous lives have proved it to future generations with monument after monument.

"That's right! Those who are not of my race must have different hearts. We are about to leave our homeland. I hope you will always remember that you are a Garo. Don't abandon your country. Otherwise, no matter how talented you are, I will kill you on the spot.

." Cold words came out from between Lu Xulei's teeth, which made Qiao Bang shiver unconsciously. He knew very well that Lu Xulei was not just talking, he was indeed murderous.

"Absolutely not, I always remember who I am." Qiao Bang responded, reacting very quickly and without thinking.

"Very good, we will stay here tonight and leave early tomorrow morning. Li Ruitao, Ren Ziyu!"

"Yes!" The two were confused, but responded promptly. Lu Xulei was the commander-in-chief of this trip, and any orders must be obeyed.

"Tonight you two take turns guarding the truck to ensure that the goods are not stolen and that the goods are not damaged. You two decide the specific shift time. What I want is the result!" Lu Xulei said calmly with a calm face.

"Why? He purchased this batch of marine fish. We don't have the obligation to take care of the goods, right?" Ren Ziyu was the first to object, pointing at Hu Jiameng and said unceremoniously. Ren Ziyu dared to contradict Lu Xulei among everyone present.

Really tough.

"It doesn't matter. Since it's the goods I chose, just let me watch over them. Don't disturb everyone's rest." Hu Jiameng was also afraid that Lu Xulei would get angry again, so he intervened to mediate and calm everyone's emotions.

After all, he never felt that he was a member of the Southern Territory Legion from the beginning to the end, he was just a single person accompanying everyone in action.

"Since we are a group, we shouldn't make the distinction too clearly. You and Li Ruitao will be on duty tonight, and someone else will be on duty tomorrow night, even me. If you don't want to guard the goods, then I will be on duty tonight!" Lu

Xu Lei's face was full of disappointment, and there was no contempt in his eyes when he looked at Ren Ziyu, but only pity and abandonment. This scene was clearly captured by Qiao Bang.

"No, since it is a fair choice, then I am willing to guard the supplies." Ren Ziyu's voice was clear and calm, her tone was firm and unquestionable, and she looked towards Lu Xulei without flinching.

"Okay, I'm quite interested in Brother Hu's sea fish. I'll stay here tonight. But to start with, I want to pick out a fish and grill it tomorrow. This is what I like. The grilled fish I cook doesn't taste good.

Bad~" Seeing that the atmosphere was a bit solemn, Li Ruitao interrupted Qiu Wuhui and Yu Yifei who were hesitant to speak. He had happily accepted this arrangement and had no intention of provoking Lu Xulei's authority.

"Of course, I'm pretty good at grilling fish. Why don't I grill it for everyone to eat before we leave tomorrow? Everyone has worked hard along the way, so I'm sorry." Hu Jiameng interrupted in time to smooth things over and ease the atmosphere. Seeing

Lu Xulei and Ren Ziyu's bodies were no longer so stiff, and they breathed a sigh of relief.

The smell of gunpowder caused by the quarrel dissipated in a few words. Everyone gathered their spirits and walked towards the gate of Cangjie City. Zhou Zhengyong looked on coldly and did not express his position. It was not until the city gate that he showed the pass token of the Benlei Chamber of Commerce. Strangely enough,

The soldiers of the city defense army, who had previously been seen to be conducting very strict inspections, immediately let them go after seeing the Benlei Chamber of Commerce's token, even eliminating the need for review procedures.

The Benlei Chamber of Commerce has always maintained a good relationship with Tianduiya, Wanshou Sect, and Huasheng Temple. The Yanluan Chamber of Commerce has close contacts with Dan Sect, Tang Sect, and various small sects affiliated with Dan Sect. All major chambers of commerce have backers.

, it is impossible to maintain the steady development of the Chamber of Commerce with pure interests, and most of them need to be maintained by in-laws. Only by opening up all the relationships can there be unimpeded access to the north and south of the empire.

The wind, sand and rocks were blowing randomly, Qiao Bang silently activated his spiritual power coat to release the wind elemental spiritual power to isolate the sand and dust. Only then was he not blinded by the sand and gravel, and could not see the way forward. This Cangjie City

It is really desolate. Everywhere you can see are houses and city walls built from hard rocks. In such a bad weather, few people are active here. No one walks around on the streets. Most people are huddled in stone houses. Qiao

Bang and his group looked very conspicuous, and Qiao Bang always felt that there were many pairs of eyes staring at him, which made him very uncomfortable.

Cangjie City is located at the junction of the Promir Mountains and the Gakmir Mountains. It has an extremely high altitude but is not blocked by mountains. To the west of Cangjie City is a vast desert. Ordinary people simply cannot cross this man-eating desert.

Warriors can use their spiritual power to connect the bridge between heaven and earth to find the water element aura between heaven and earth to replenish moisture. The special geographical environment and climate have created this border fortress and also become a natural barrier. The military forces of the two countries want to cross this reservoir.

The Limo Desert is extremely difficult, whether it is a test for soldiers or whether they can keep up with supplies, it is a problem.

Because of this, although the two countries have had various conflicts and confrontations, large and small, over the years, they have not actually launched a large-scale war. This is not only because it is difficult to break through, but more importantly, once a war is provoked,

Only the defeat of one side can recover the cost invested by the other side, and the Loulan Dynasty has been the losing side for more than two hundred years. This is precisely because the Loulan Dynasty respects freedom, and the people have their own warlords, and from time to time there are stubborn warlords.

Forces crossed the national border to carry out banditry and looting. The Loulan royal family also acquiesced in the death of these desperate forces at the hands of the Jialuo Empire soldiers. The short-sighted royal family only valued the loss of its own interests, but underestimated the gradual decline of the national destiny. The dynasty was in disarray.

, the national strength is no longer what it used to be, and it is no longer difficult to risk everything to launch a large-scale war.

These are what Qiu Wuhui told Qiao Bang. Qiao Bang endured the wind and sand all over the sky, and his spiritual power became more and more solid, resisting the invasion of sand and gravel from all directions, chewing on Qiu Wuhui's words and trying to figure out the deep meaning.

Under the leadership of Zhou Zhengyong, everyone came to a stone house. The building structure was extremely simple. The outer periphery was made of rocks. The load-bearing columns seemed to be made of withered spiritual plants coated with wax. The rocks were not very dense.

Regular, but sturdy enough, sturdiness and durability visible to the naked eye, it is a relatively good place to live in this harsh environment.

He skillfully raised his identity card and informed the owner of the stone house of information that could prove his identity. After some skillful communication, the owner of the stone house pushed the door open and left, leaving this stone house to them, which also made everyone's hearts

It's no longer hanging.

"Okay, you guys go and have a rest first. Ren Ziyu and I are responsible for taking care of the supplies." Li Ruitao waved his hands, with a look of death on his face, and then pushed the door open. Ren Ziyu was not to be outdone, and pushed the door open with one hand and walked out with difficulty.

, a strong wind blew into the stone house, and it didn't stop until the door was completely closed.

Everyone was looking for a place to live. Yu Yifei knocked on the door and found Lei Tao and Hu Jiameng. They discussed that everyone would take turns to take over the night duty from the two. Hu Jiameng agreed, but Lei Tao remained unmoved. He closed the door and sat opposite Qiao Bang, just like that.

Keep staring at Qiao Bang.

Qiao Bang, who was already exhausted, ignored Lei Tao's fire-breathing eyes and lay down directly on the soft pine bed, gradually falling into a deep sleep and snoring.

…

Outside the stone house, the sun-blocking sand and stones are rolling and flying, and the howling wind seems to never stop. The temperature difference between day and night in the Kulimo Desert is huge. There are few people on the streets. It is still cold in early spring. There are sparse weeds along the way, but the shrubs are still strong.

Standing upright between heaven and earth, they look like landmarks, stubborn and proud.

"I think this Cangjie City is because the stones are not valuable, so I don't feel bad if it was robbed by soldiers of the Loulan Dynasty. It is not as legendary as you said, and it is also known as the Heroic City. This is a place that even spiritual beasts don't want to visit.

, it’s best to leave as soon as possible.” Lin Yihuan said with his head raised, a spiritual coat of countless tiny ice crystal particles had condensed around his body, and the wind and sand blowing in the face were blocked by the ice crystals, making a cracking sound.

"Young Master, please slow down, I can't keep up with you." The one-year-old man behind him bowed forward and followed Lin Yihuan.

"Grandma Tong, didn't I tell you that we have to hurry up?" Lin Yihuan looked a little impatient and turned to look at Tong Ran who was walking slowly forward. The Soul Seizing Bell on his wrist buzzed, obviously sensing something strange happening around him.

This caused it to buzz uncontrollably.

The four treasures of the Soul Encourage Hall, the Soul-Capturing Cauldron, the Soul-Seizing Bell, the Heart-Destroying Bell, and the Bone-Splitting Flute, are in harmony with each other. They can sense each other within a radius of ten miles. The premise is to practice the "Soul-Captivating Soul-Seizing Technique" and "Heart-Destroying Split"

Only by "Bone Dafa" can one have a clear perception. This is why Lin Yihuan is so anxious. She vaguely sensed something. The people who mastered the Heart-Destroying Bell and the Bone-Splitting Flute in the Hall of Souls were all appointed by herself to stay in the hall. They could have such a strong reaction at this time.

, could it be the long-lost soul-capturing cauldron?

The soul-capturing cauldron that my mother had longed for during her lifetime, the treasure that countless generations of palace masters had spent energy and time searching for, was actually in this desolate frontier fortress.

Lin Yihuan is not stupid. She wants to first find out the general location of the Soul-Calling Cauldron and observe the opponent's strength before sending the palace envoy here. She doesn't have to do it herself, she just needs to confirm that it is correct. After all, one person can only absorb one treasure.

, if the soul is not tough enough, forcibly grasping it will be counterattacked by the souls of the previous palace masters and elders. This is what my mother repeatedly reminded me before she died.

"Young Master, you must be careful in this desolate border. There are not many kind-hearted and innocent people here. Everything must be safe and cautious..." Tong Ran followed slowly.

, his face was covered with wrinkles, and he looked very old and aged, as if he could be easily blown away by the wind. However, no sand and gravel could invade his body, and his spiritual power coat was as if it were nothing. It was really magical.

"My Soul Seizing Bell has responded!" Lin Yihuan put his hands on his hips and shouted angrily.

"What? Is it possible that the soul-capturing cauldron ended up here?" Tong Ran was no longer calm, and his spirits suddenly rose, and he straightened his back in the strong wind and sand.

"Yes! I didn't expect that there would be unexpected gains from this trip. Grandma Tong, come with me!" Lin Yihuan jumped on the spot a few times, rubbing his sore shoulders.

In front of Tong Ran, she puts on no disguise.

"Be careful when sailing a thousand-year-old ship. Young Master, guard against arrogance and impetuosity. Do not act impulsively. Think twice before doing anything!" Tong Ran was only excited for a moment before regaining her composure. She knew full well that this ghost place could actually sense

When it comes to the soul-capturing cauldron, it is most likely not an ownerless thing, and it is very likely that it has been absorbed into the body.

You must know that the treasures in the Soul Soul Hall can be absorbed into the spirit knot space of the body as a soldier-spirit contract through two secret methods. Even if you have not mastered the secret methods, you can still accommodate the treasures and retain them in your body, and you can even place the sea of ​​spiritual consciousness to warm it up. Cangjie City

There are four known strong men. Although he has reached the Spiritual Saint Realm, it is normal for them to be strong in the Spiritual Saint Realm.

Tong Ran asked himself that he was unable to deal with the two powerful men in the Spiritual Saint Realm, let alone the four powerful men from the Shangtianmen.

"I understand, there is someone outside, and it's me who got excited." Lin Yihuan sighed helplessly, clenching his hands, looking up at Tong Ran, feeling so unwilling.

"Let's get closer to see the situation first. No matter whether there is any result or not, if we alert the snake, we will leave immediately. Everything will be answered by the old slave. Don't say anything."

"Yeah." Lin Yihuan nodded repeatedly.

The two masters and servants slowly approached the stone house, and the reaction of the Soul Seizing Bell on their wrists became more and more violent, causing Lin Yihuan's mood swings to become even more intense.

"What are you going to do?" A sudden voice resounded, causing Tong Ran to stop moving forward. The expression on his face instantly froze, and his wrinkled face suddenly became serious. There were two people behind him who were completely helpless.

I noticed that I couldn't tell the strength of these two people from their breath and pace.

You know, as a strong person in the Holy Spirit Realm, Tong Ran's spiritual power is so strong that he can form an oscillating aura around his body, and can clearly distinguish the sound of flying sand and gravel within a few hundred meters of the surrounding area. But just

Under such circumstances, the two people behind him suddenly appeared, and he didn't notice it at all.

"Who?" Tong Ran turned around suddenly, his eyes shining brightly, and he subconsciously protected Lin Yihuan behind him. In her middle age, she made many mistakes and offended many aristocratic families. She disappeared from the scene for forty years, but once she was snaked

After ten years of being afraid of the well rope, Tong Ran still remained cautious, fearing that her enemies would recognize her, and did not take any beauty-preserving elixirs, but she was still wary in her heart.

"You don't need to know, but why are you in my private house?" The man has a clear appearance, and the old woman next to him has an old face. The person who speaks is the man, and a vague aura is locked on Tong Ran and Lin Yihuan.

.

"I'm sorry, the wind and sand were too strong. I admitted to the wrong house. Thank you both for reminding me and disturbing you." Tong Ran held back the attack. The fluctuations in the spiritual power of the two people in front of him were not strong, but they were good at concealing their auras. Their strength was certainly not the same.

Generally speaking, it is roughly judged that it is not suitable for a strong person in the Spiritual Emperor Realm to fight here. If he provokes four strong people in the Spiritual Saint Realm, he will not be able to escape intact.

"A strong person in the Spiritual Saint Realm would recognize the wrong family and treat me as a three-year-old child to bully me?" The man sneered, his spiritual power suddenly increased to its peak, and he raised his arms in vain, ready for a fight.

Seeing that there was no use in explaining this posture, Tong Ran did not hesitate to pull Lin Yihuan's hand and move backwards. His lips twitched, reminding Lin Yihuan to use treasure to protect himself and respond to attacks at any time.

"You two little friends, don't be nervous. I have indeed admitted my mistake. I have no intention of having a dispute with you. How about we each take a step back?"

"Why are you so haunted and still following me?" The door opened from the stone house, and Yu Yifei and Hu Jiameng walked out. They immediately saw clearly that the two people standing outside the door were none other than Ni Ruihe.

Shu Yuhan's voice sounded suddenly, directly piercing everyone's ears. This is a sonic technique of Dan Zong, which can disturb the mind with its mental and spiritual power.

"We just want to protect you and don't disturb your life. We are just worried about you. We have no other ideas." Shu Yuhan responded cautiously, while Ni Rui stared at Tong Ran and Lin Yihuan intently. The mother-in-law and the little girl appeared in front of them. It's so strange. He must have some conspiracy to appear in the dusty environment.

"I don't need any protection from you. I just want you to disappear in front of me and disappear from my world!" Yu Yifei's anger was ignited, and the suffocation that had been suffocating in his chest and abdomen during the day suddenly exploded. He followed Ni Rui's line of sight. Xiang Tong Ran.

Tong Ran heard something about the quarrel between the two. The two groups knew each other but were not familiar with each other, and their relationship was not very good. He couldn't help but breathed a sigh of relief. He no longer had the intention to stay here. He kept his body low and was alert, ready at any time. Take Lin Yihuan and leave here.

"Who are you? If you don't declare yourself, I will attack with all my strength!" Ni Rui turned a deaf ear and completely ignored Yu Yifei's roar. In his opinion, this was a sign of inexperience and losing his temper. If you can solve problems, what do you need strength for?

Tong Ran did not directly answer Ni Rui's question, but said coldly: "I am afraid of the four guards in Cangjie City, not mediocre juniors like you. Since I want to compete, I will not shirk the responsibility and will stay with you till the end. !”

After saying that, Tong Ran slowly raised his arms, and the spiritual knots on the knuckles of both hands glowed brightly. Nine rays of light flickered in the sandy environment, but everyone saw it very clearly. In a trance, an artifact appeared in Tong Ran's hand. The palm of his right hand condenses, and the black light gradually solidifies. If you look carefully, you can find that it is actually a scepter. The whole body is as black as ink, and there is an unspeakable evil.

The most terrifying thing is not the scepter, but that the nine spiritual knots on Tong Ran's palm have actually left the knuckles, and the knuckles are attached to the top of the scepter, like gems inlaid on the concave and convex places on the scepter, black. The top of Qi's scepter burst out with bright light, causing Tong Ran's aura to explode.

Such a weird scene made everyone's breathing stop. No one had ever encountered a spirit knot that could be detached from the knuckles. It can be said that it completely violated the laws of the world.

Ni Rui and Shu Yuhan had been fighting for a long time and had seen too many strange people. They were no longer surprised. Their eyes did not stay on the scepter, but on Tong Ran's eyes. The turbid eyes were black and red, which was extremely abnormal, as if a raging flame had been stirred up in the dark night, with the potential to start a prairie fire.

"Hall of Souls..." Ni Rui struggled to express his judgment. His body trembled unconsciously. The moment he said it, his spiritual consciousness was completely sealed. His hands kept turning, and the spirit worms in his sleeves were raging regardless of the sand and stones. When they were all agitated, the black clouds formed into two black clouds, which was very scary. After hearing this, Shu Yuhan no longer restrained himself. He pointed high at the sky with one hand and then suddenly pointed downwards and pointed at the empty point. The spiritual knots on the knuckles of both hands shone brightly, and he saw The road paved with stone bricks suddenly shattered, and several saplings grew at an extremely fast speed. By chance, they twisted into a whole wall of trees. Yu Yifei and Hu Sigui were completely blocked while they jumped onto the tree crown and looked down at Tong. Ran and Lin Yihuan.

"I didn't expect anyone to recognize the Hall of Souls. It seems that you are not as young as you appear and are good at using insects. Which family are you, Wen, Qu, Ni, or Liao?" Tong Ran felt a basin of cold water pouring from his head. Next, there is a chill all over the body. The insect master and the plant master have always been at odds with each other. However, these two people actually work closely together and have a tacit understanding. It is obviously not an ordinary relationship. The insect master has a cultivation level in the Spirit Saint realm and a plant master has a cultivation level in the Spirit Emperor realm. How can one cope with a The insect master still needs to go all out, and the other plant master's methods are impressive at first glance. How come he is so unlucky to encounter such a strong opponent beside the young master?

"You and I are both at the same level, and I don't think I'm any weaker than the people in the Soul Soul Hall. You are like aphids, you like to eat other people's spiritual power, and you also like to plant talismans on people. Such despicable behavior is absolutely unacceptable.

It's really a big scourge in the Lingwu world. We might as well fight here. I also want to see how insidious and cunning the seniors of the Soul Enchanting Hall are!" Ni Rui responded lightly, but his voice was extremely high-pitched, not only for Yu Yifei to listen to, but also for Yu Yifei.

I told Lu Xulei in the stone house that there is no need to be polite when facing the people in the Soul Burial Palace. It is not a shame to bully the few. This is the conclusion drawn from many years of fighting.

"It's okay to fight. Please tell me your names so that I can be a wise man." Tong Ran's thoughts were racing in her mind, and she chose to show her enemy's weakness and invite you to enter the urn. Now that she was outside the influence of the scepter, she had already made a decision in her heart.

The worst plan is to abandon the army to save the commander, and make sure Lin Yihuan leaves here.

"Who did this happen?" Lu Xulei suddenly appeared as he moved around. In the blink of an eye, a hole was opened in the tree wall, and he saw an old woman holding a scepter in her hand. Invisible pressure suddenly fell on her shoulders.

Feeling greatly surprised in his heart, he immediately released his nine spiritual knots. His aura was no longer suppressed and was completely released from the inside out.

Tong Ran took a breath. She was so familiar with the person in front of her. Isn't this Lu Xulei, the brigade commander of the Northern Army? How could he appear here? Didn't he die accidentally? How could he be standing here so well?

?

Thinking of this, Tong Ran lowered his head unconsciously, for fear that Lu Xulei would recognize him. Although it would be difficult to recognize him after his face changed so much, Tong Ran decided not to expose himself. After all, the man in front of him had been in the snowy area before.

He chased her for three days and two nights, treating her as a foreign spiritual warrior who had crossed the border. He was no match back then, and now he was not completely sure of victory.

Bitterness lingered in my heart, my heart contracted for a while, my luck in the secret path was extremely bad. In front of me were two Spirit Saint Realm powerhouses and three Spirit Emperor Realm powerhouses. The situation was already one-sided. We must escape from this place immediately. As for the soul-capturing cauldron, behind it

Let’s look for it again.

It doesn't matter if he dies, but the young master can't die. Yu Xiao's kindness to him is too great, and he has to repay it even if he is broken into pieces!

"You're mute? Who are you? Don't tell me that I got the wrong location. I can't tell who lives in which household in Cangjie City!" Lu Xulei snorted coldly and pretended to speak, but in fact he had no idea at all.

The power distribution in Cangjie City is just a bluff here. He doesn't dare to take the initiative to provoke a fight. In the eyes of outsiders, he is a dead person, and he doesn't want to let the world know that he is still alive, causing more trouble and causing more trouble.

Lots of trouble.

"I really can't argue with you. I've definitely made a mistake and taken the wrong path. No offense intended." Tong Ran smiled bitterly, put down the scepter, and looked straight at Lu Xulei. She knew very well that even the insect master and the plant master couldn't do it together.

He would be Lu Xulei's opponent. How could someone who almost became the leader of the Ten Thousand Beast Sect be mediocre?

"Don't listen to her nonsense, she is from the Soul Burial Palace!" Ni Rui reminded again, warning Lu Xulei not to be merciful.

"Since I have admitted my mistake, it is a misunderstanding. You should leave quickly and don't disturb me while I rest!" Lu Xulei turned a deaf ear and stood with his hands behind his back. He waved his big hand, and a strong wave of energy surged, just with a wave of his palm.

A strong wind blew up, blowing Tong Ran and Lin Yihuan away.

Of course, this is also the reason why Tong Ran tried his best to cooperate, otherwise he wouldn't be so embarrassed.

"Senior! How can you let the tiger go back to the mountain? The people in the Soul Soul Hall are insidious and cunning, and they will use all possible means. What will happen if they cause trouble again in the future? It's easy to hide from open guns and hard to guard against hidden arrows!" Ni Rui couldn't help blurting out, facing the big crowd.

When Lu Xulei was a teenager, he still felt it was extremely absurd.

"What do you know? Do you want to attract the four guards from Shangtianmen? If it weren't for the sandy weather that makes it difficult to expose the spiritual pressure, I wouldn't have shown my strength just now. Do you want Yu Yifei to be involved in the turmoil you caused? Wan

As soon as we arrived at the Tianmen garrison, General Yifei was killed by mistake, do you recognize the consequences or do I?" Lu Xulei's voice was no longer cold, and he asked Ni Rui in reply, with a faint redness in his eyes.

"Then let the people of the Soul Encarnation Hall leave like this? If you are not afraid of thieves and thieves, how do you know whether the target of the Enshrinement Hall is you? Or is it Qiao Bang?" Ni Rui was unyielding and was not bothered by Lu Xulei's gossip.

Influence, and strive to be rude based on reason.

"If you and your wife were not very powerful and had no ill intentions, but just followed behind you without making any move, I would have taken action against you long ago. I don't know if the people in the Hall of Souls are targeting me and Qiao Bang, but you two are

You really want to recognize your son who may have been separated for more than thirty years, right?" Lu Xulei frowned slightly, suppressed his impatience, and responded in a deep voice.

"Yuhan and I do have this intention, but it will never affect you. We just want to protect Fei'er and hope that senior will be accommodating." Ni Rui responded tentatively. This time he didn't get excited anymore. It didn't help anymore.

You can settle for the next best thing.

"It is difficult for an upright official to deal with household affairs. I will not interfere with you and protect Yu Yifei secretly, but if it affects your actions, I will have to take action and seriously injure you." Lu Xulei rolled his sleeves and looked back, coldly glancing at Ni Ruihe who was standing there.

Shu Yuhan, who was standing on the treetop, had an obvious threat. After saying this, he opened the wooden door and walked into the stone house. He ignored Hu Jiameng and Yu Yifei during the whole process, and his breath was immediately restrained.

He still wanted to say something, but when he saw the disgusted look in Yu Yifei's eyes, Ni Rui had a lot of things to say, but was blocked by the piercing eyes, and his heart became colder.

The yellow sand covering the sky couldn't stop blowing. Ni Rui and Shu Yuhan watched Yu Yifei turn and leave. Their hearts were filled with desolation and they didn't know where to turn. They hugged each other for comfort. Although as spiritual warriors, they didn't have to worry about the cold.

It was a windy moon, but the coolness in his heart could not be suppressed. Ni Rui's shoulders shook unconsciously twice. Shu Yuhan in his arms became unconscious again, and his hazy eyes became dim again. Ni Rui felt that the chill was even worse.

Physically and mentally exhausted.

…

"Young Master, are you okay?" Tong Ran dragged Lin Yihuan and fled until he was dozens of miles outside Cangjie City before he relaxed a little. His mental power spread outward and he didn't sense any spiritual warriors following him. Then he relaxed a little and asked with concern.

road.

"I'm fine, but Grandma Tong, are you okay?" Lin Yihuan let go of Tong Ran's hand, looked up at Tong Ran, and shook his head in response.

"It's okay. I thought we were going to fight. Fortunately, Brigadier Nalu didn't attack. I saved my life. I just feel a little tired. I just need to find a secluded place to rest for a while."

Looking at Tong Ran's pale face, Lin Yihuan nodded quickly, but he didn't think it was okay. He helped Tong Ran and continued to walk forward. After a few steps, he spit out a mouthful of black bruises. His breathing became rapid and the woods blocked him.

The attack of the wind and sand also made Tong Ran feel better, as he did not inhale the sand and dust into his mouth and nose.

"Grandma Tong! Why do you look like you're fine? Sit down and adjust your breathing quickly!" Lin Yihuan was startled, and hurriedly held Tong Ran with both hands. She became even more worried. Lin Yihuan, who had not had many relatives to accompany him since he was a child, was worried.

With Tong Ran by her side, she would never allow her relatives to leave again in front of her.

"It's really okay. This is just the sequelae of me merging my soul into the soldier's soul. It's not the harm caused to me by those people." Tong Ran felt like he was burning inside. His bones all over his body felt sore, but he was mentally strong.

She stabilized her injuries within a few breaths, and her breathing returned to its original rhythm.

"Who are those people? They forced you, mother-in-law, to fuse the spirit knot to deal with it?" Lin Yihuan endured for a long time and finally expressed the questions in his heart.

"The former brigade commander of the Northern Army, Lu Xulei, was a powerful spiritual warrior who almost became the leader of the Ten Thousand Beasts Sect. If he had not led the army in the northern expedition to the Ice Crystal Snow Demon, he might have returned to the position of successor to the Ten Thousand Beasts Sect, and his status would not be as high as it is now.

Inferior. It was rumored that he died in the attack of the three crystal dragons in the north, but now he is encountered here. He seems to be intact. The outside world thought he was dead, but now he appears here."

"It's him? Then will he return to the northern border to regain military power? Wouldn't it spoil the next deployment?" Lin Yihuan was shocked. His little mind immediately realized the stakes, and immediately asked the question he was most concerned about.

"I don't know. He is obviously going to the Loulan Dynasty when he appears in Cangjie City. He probably won't return to the north in a short time. However, I think Lu Xulei is very cautious and will not show his face to let the world know that he is still alive."

"He has a life and death curse on him, but I can't control it, otherwise I would have used him just now."

"No! The young master is not strong enough. You can't rashly command the powerful ones in the Spiritual Saint Realm. That is definitely not something that can be done now, and it will inevitably suffer backlash! Although the young master has the spiritual power reserve of the Spiritual Emperor Realm, he is not cultivating on his own after all.

Come on, the control of mental power is still not enough to control the strong solid spiritual power in the body, and you must not act randomly according to your temper!"

"I know, I just feel very friendly. The life and death curse on Brigadier Lu seems to have been planted by my mother, and it is completely consistent with my spiritual power fluctuations." Lin Yihuan comforted Tong Ran and said that he would not be stupid, and palmed his hand

He stroked Tong Ran's back gently and comforted Tong Ran in turn.

"Did those people just feel the Soul-Destroying Bell?" Tong Ran came back to his senses and asked the question that concerned him the most.

"No, but the reaction in the stone house was relatively strong. Just now, the Soul Seizing Bell was pointed at the roof of the stone house. I guess someone must have absorbed it."

"Get rid of the idea, you must not get close now! There are plant masters and insect masters in that group of people, which you and I can't compete with. Those two are extremely good at long-term combat. One person can defeat a thousand troops, and I can't deal with it!

"Tong Ran interrupted seriously, his gaze falling on Lin Yihuan like a knife. This time Tong Ran did not follow the distinction between master and servant, but expressed his attitude directly.

"Okay Granny Tong, I will never joke with my life! Should we find a place to rest here, or should we set off for Jinyang City now?"

"There is no rush. We will wait until the group of people leave Cangjie City before setting off. Now follow me back to Cangjie City and find a place to rest and relax. My current condition is not good and I need to adjust."

"Okay, just follow Grandma Tong's advice." Lin Yihuan smiled playfully, so cute.

The master and servant walked out of the woods and returned to Cangjie City again, disappearing into the endless sand and dust.

This sandstorm is raging across the vast land, and it seems to be blowing endlessly. It seems to be giving every vulnerable individual a warning, making them clearly aware of their own insignificance. This barren Culimo area has no room for luck.

speculators.

Under the cruel wind and sand, there is a gentle embrace of stone walls.

There are always people who move forward fearlessly, and there are always people who do not care about the consequences.

Riding the wind and waves, overcoming obstacles!
