Do not die

The sermon is over.

Meng Zhou sat quietly cross-legged on the pure futon. A group of Qi-training monks lined up neatly and passed by him one after another. After bowing respectfully, they left quietly.

It wasn't until all the visitors had left that Meng Zhou stood up and put the clean futon back into his storage bag.

He nodded to shopkeeper Lu who was standing respectfully aside, said goodbye and left.

Shopkeeper Lu watched Meng Zhou go away until he disappeared, and then he said to a waiter next to him: "Have you ever seen Zhuji who treated others so peacefully before?"

…

Returning to the Zhang family's courtyard, I saw the Zhang family's youngest daughter playing alone in the courtyard.

Meng Zhou waved to her, and the little girl who had turned her head to look at him curiously after he entered the door ran over.

"Senior, you are back!"

"Where's your dad?"

"Not back yet."

"Do you often stay home alone?"

"Um."

"It's been a long time, isn't it boring?"

"What does boredom mean?" the little girl asked curiously.

"Well...you are so young, isn't your father worried about you being abducted by bad guys?"

"Don't worry." The little girl said honestly.

"Well……"

Meng Zhou felt that he couldn't continue talking today.

After a while, he asked: "What's your name?"

The little girl said: "My name is Zhang Yi. Senior, you can call me Xiaoyi. My sister's name is Zhang Yun, but she doesn't like people calling her Xiaoyun."

Meng Zhou nodded and finally said: "When your father comes back, let him come to visit me."

"Yes." The little girl nodded repeatedly at Meng Zhou's back, indicating that she had taken note of it.

Meng Zhou returned to his residence, thinking about his recent travel plans.

About two hours later, Zhang Wei came to visit.

"Senior, I heard Xiaoyi said you are looking for me?"

"Well, sit down!"

Meng Zhou motioned to Zhang Wei to sit down and talk.

After Zhang Wei sat down, Meng Zhou asked: "Besides hosting the auction, what does Hexinlou do on weekdays?"

Zhang Wei pondered for a moment and then said:

"Hexin Building actually doesn't have any clear main business, but if you really want to say it, it does all kinds of business.

Because the main function of Hexin Building is to serve as a bridge of communication between Qingxuan Sect and Qinglinfang, what needs to be done depends on the needs of Qingxuan Sect.

For example, everyone in our building is busy with auctions now, all because of the needs of Qingxuan Sect, but this will only be temporary.

After this period of time passes, this matter may stop. "

"But on the other hand, Hexin Building is connected to Qingxuan Sect on one side and all parties in the square on the other. It has advantages that other forces cannot replace in terms of organization and scheduling, relationship sorting, and understanding of various channels.

If you want to buy something but don’t know where to find it;

Or maybe you want to sell something but don’t know where to get the best price;

Or there may be many and complicated things to be bought and sold, some of which even the person himself knows too well;

For example, if you want to sell a year's comprehensive production of a spiritual land, or to make comprehensive purchases of various resources needed to open up a first-level spiritual land, or to build a second-level cave, you can come directly. Hexinlou is the easiest way. "

Meng Zhou nodded in understanding and thought of something inexplicably.

We don’t produce water, we are just nature’s porters.

“However, for this reason, Hexin Tower’s threshold is relatively high, and it mainly targets different cultivating forces, such as immortal cultivating families, gang chambers of commerce, etc.

There are also individuals, but they are relatively few, and they are all recognized high-quality customers.

They are usually seniors whose cultivation is in the mid-to-late stage of foundation building or above... Of course, seniors, you can do it too. "

At the end, Zhang Wei suddenly added this sentence.

Meng Zhou nodded. He understood the high threshold of Hexin Building after Zhang Wei explained it.

This is equivalent to providing customized services according to the different needs of each customer. If the threshold is not set higher and a large number of Qi practitioners who are accustomed to careful calculation come to the door, people like Zhang Wei will not be able to earn back their wages.

At the same time, I also gained some new understanding of the "membership card" that the host of Hexin gave me at that time.

The greatest significance is that Hexin Building recognizes itself as a customer, not how many discounts it has.

After listening to Zhang Wei's careful introduction, Meng Zhou nodded in his heart.

Although his cultivation has broken through the foundation building, it can only be regarded as an upgrade of the hardware. There is still a lot to do before a complete foundation building.

Just thinking about the things he had to do, he found it very troublesome, but now it was better. With the channel of Hexin Building, it could save him a lot of trouble.

However, he did not immediately communicate the matter with Zhang Wei.

Early the next morning, Meng Zhou left the Zhang Family Courtyard and passed through an uninhabited alley. When he saw no one around him, he made some changes to his appearance and temperament.

The aura emitted also fell back to the ninth level of Qi training.

During the foundation building period, Meng Zhou incorporated breath-holding techniques, bone-shrinking techniques, and other techniques into his flesh and blood body, and these abilities were already innate.

He can use these abilities more freely, just like the various cold powers mastered by the ice-type white bear, and the various fire-type methods mastered by the fire-type red bear.

Skills become part of the body's abilities and do not require special training. They can progress as the body grows.

Then, Meng Zhou came to the stall area again.

The flow of people here is still very crowded, and the business atmosphere is still hot, but after walking around for a while, Meng Zhou can feel the changes.

The prices of almost all finished products have fallen.

The prices of almost all raw materials have increased.

Although this change is not yet obvious, between the increase and the decrease, the profit margin for professionals becomes smaller.

Or it may be this growth that determines whether certain professionals make profits or losses.

And this is just the beginning, far from the end.

Qingxuan Sect used a large number of precious and practical high-value finished products to extract the surplus spiritual stones and resources within the Qingxuan Domain, and the effects have now begun to show.

There are many monks who have benefited from such changes, the most obvious of which are the more than forty monks who have successfully built the foundation.

In the past, there were many casual cultivators and monks from small forces who could not find a channel to purchase foundation-building pills with their spiritual stones, so they wasted their lives in vain.

Until the age of sixty, the state of life has completely entered the downward channel, and there is no hope of building a foundation in this life.

As for the various tricks and pitfalls surrounding the Foundation Establishment Pill, they are countless, and I don’t know how many talents have been tricked to death.

From this perspective, Qingxuanzong's current approach is upright and irreproachable.

“However, in the future, the situation of casual cultivators will no longer be as good as before.

Those with low standards and meager profits will be eliminated directly. "

Casual cultivators may seem to be prosperous, but in the face of this completely unreasonable dimension reduction attack, they have no power to resist at all.

With this thought in his mind, Meng Zhou took out the first-order objects in his hands one by one.

…

A medium-grade talisman pen and 500 low-grade spiritual stones.

Two high-grade flying swords and 3900 low-grade spiritual stones.

A high-grade robe and 1900 low-grade spiritual stones.

A top-grade tripod and 1,400 low-grade spiritual stones.

One high-grade spirit-gathering array plate and 4,000 low-grade spirit stones.

…

In addition to a top-quality magic sword, he took this opportunity to clean up all the other items that had been with him for a long time and that he relied on as important aids.

The main reason why he kept that top-quality magic sword was that he really liked it.

And with the extra "incomplete natural sword body" he now has, he can even use it more skillfully than flying swords of the same quality.

What's more, in the eyes of other monks, this magic sword is useless except for being harder and sharper.

Even a thousand low-grade spiritual stones cannot be sold, it is like a secret investment.

The 117 middle-grade spiritual stones were recovered. These items disposed of had no impact on Meng Zhou's strength.

After Qi Xue completed the foundation-building transformation, he was equivalent to wearing an invisible second-level inner armor at any time.

In addition to a top-grade magical sword, there is also a high-grade wooden flying sword made with the method of alchemy, as well as a tortoise-shell wood spirit shield made with a braiding method, a python whip and other first-grade high-grade wooden magical weapons. .

When communicating with Zhang Wei last night, Meng Zhou thought about letting Zhang Wei handle such trivial matters for him, but gave up after thinking about it.

It is said that it is handled by Zhang Wei, but it is actually handled through the channels of Hexinlou, that is, through the channels of Qingxuan Sect.

He did not dare to underestimate the Qingxuan Sect. The magical weapons in his hands included items from the children of the Mo family, as well as trophies obtained from other monks, including "Hu Gui" of Zuowang Hall, who had his own secrets. Attributes, as well as custom purchases from some serious channels.

There are many sources. If Hexinlou is curious and wants to trace the source, some of the traces he carefully concealed may be revealed.

Although this possibility is very low, why bother to lay such a trap for yourself to save trouble.

He himself took action in stall areas with dense crowds of people, and last night he used his magic power to wash away the remaining traces and aura related to him on these items, which completely eliminated this possibility.

After dealing with all this, Meng Zhou was about to leave. Just as he was walking to the gate, Meng Zhou's eyes suddenly froze and he slowed down as he walked out.

I saw a young man walking from outside, his footsteps hurried, and he passed by him.

Meng Zhou, who slowed down, simply stopped, but did not turn around immediately, but looked thoughtful.

This young man is none other than Yu Peng, whom he never expected to meet here!

After the initial surprise, Meng Zhou slowly came to his senses.

Meeting Yu Peng here is not really an "unbelievable" thing.

Although it is unexpected, it is completely reasonable.

Qinglinfang has always had a good reputation. If factors such as distance are not considered, Qinglinfang is also the first choice among second-level spiritual veins.

Since this year, the Qingxuan Sect, which had been silent for many years, has launched a series of heavy moves, creating ripples in the Qingxuan Domain that has been peaceful for nearly a hundred years, and created two vortex cores with one hand.

One of them is in Jade Lake. However, it is too high-end. Only those with powerful people above False Pill are eligible to participate. Moreover, it is still a "big construction site" and no one is allowed to enter.

One of them is in Qinglinfang, where a large number of chambers of commerce drive airships and shuttles back and forth in the Qingxuan Domain, which covers an area of ​​nearly 100,000 miles.

Just like weaving a spider web, each first-order spiritual vein and second-order spiritual vein are woven into an invisible web.

As long as it is within the jurisdiction of Qingxuan Territory, no spiritual vein or force can escape its influence.

A large number of resources, personnel, and spiritual stones are flowing on this network.

No force can stay aloof, and resistance will only lead to backlash.

The only wise thing to do is to go with the flow.

Although Nuanyun Valley is more than ten thousand miles away from Qinglinfang, it is still the hinterland in terms of the entire Qingxuan Domain.

Therefore, it is not surprising at all to see old friends from Nuanyun Valley here.

At this moment, another burly figure walked in among the crowd, and Meng Zhou subconsciously took a second look.

The reason why he pays special attention to this person is because this person gives him a very inconsistent feeling.

He once practiced some martial arts skills that improved his five senses, and these skills have now been transformed into talents.

Therefore, his five senses are excellent even among the foundation building group.

Coupled with the inspection and inquiry techniques in the pharmacist's spells, many things can be seen through visual inspection.

Qi regulating technique can directly sense whether the opponent's breath is coordinated or not.

These skills are now innate and can be used more freely.

Therefore, without any prior knowledge, he sensed this person's incongruity with just a glance.

"Well, this person is wearing a disguise mask, and he is actually of second-level quality."

Meng Zhou tried to use his spiritual sense to explore, but he couldn't see his true face behind the mask.

If that was all, Meng Zhou wouldn't be troublesome.

But he soon discovered that although this person was a long distance away from Yu Peng, and most of the time even separated by several aisles, and there were many obstacles between the two, he was indeed tracking and monitoring Yu Peng's every move.

Yu Peng is now at the fifth level of Qi training. Compared with the third level of Qi training when they first met, Yu Peng has grown quite quickly.

But the stalker was an extremely experienced ninth-level qi practitioner. From the beginning to the end, Yu Peng didn't realize that every move he made in this stall area was in the eyes of others.

While Meng Zhou paid attention to the disguised monks, he also had a clear view of Yu Peng's actions.

He wandered from stall to stall, sometimes chatting directly with some monks who looked like passers-by.

Just like that, pieces of low-grade talismans and bottles of low-grade elixirs flowed out of his hands.

Then, the first-order mid-to-high-grade spiritual materials flowed back into his storage bag, including talisman-making materials, alchemy and weapon-refining materials, formation materials, etc.

Seeing how comfortable he was, Meng Zhou was convinced that this was by no means the first time this kid had come here, but that he had been here for a long time.

Judging from his inadvertent little actions when communicating with some of them, it can be seen that he is very familiar with these people.

It gives the impression that he is not a guest, but a member of this stall area.

"Good boy!"

Meng Zhou couldn't help but think of the first time they met, in the small square of the training stall in Nuanyun Valley. In order to increase attention, this guy also came up with the gimmick of making talismans on the spot.

Now that he has upgraded from the Nuanyungu stall area to the Qinglinfang stall area, could this be the man who was born for the stall area?

In the booth area, there were many monks doing similar things to Yu Peng.

What they do is not fundamentally different from Hexin Tower.

It is a series of intermediaries, and various resources flow in and out of their hands.

But the only ones that can really fall into their hands are small heads.

It is also true that most of the people who come forward to do this are in the middle stage of Qi training and have a lot of spiritual stone resources in their pockets, but no one covets them.

Because everyone knows that they are just the hands showing on the surface.

Behind them are basically beings that ordinary monks cannot afford to offend.

But Meng Zhou understood that this was just Yu Peng's disguise.

Essentially, he is different from them.

This is factory direct sales!

When Yu Peng walked back to the exit of the stall area from the other direction, he should have cleared out all the items in his hands.

He didn't stay here longer and went straight out of the stall area.

The disguised monk also followed Yu Peng from a distance and left the stall area.

After walking for a while, Yu Peng turned around and entered an alleyway.

The disguised monk came to the entrance of the alley, looked around, and then walked in.

Seeing this from a distance, Meng Zhou shook his head slightly.

…

Yu Peng is taking a shortcut back to his residence.

When he first came here, he always remembered the teacher's instructions.

You must always be vigilant, take the main road, only go to crowded places, and try not to go anywhere except your residence and stall area. Except when you are dealing with the items assigned to you, you should practice in seclusion at other times. do not go……

Anyway, there are a lot of rules.

But as he gradually became familiar with the situation here, he gradually felt that the teacher was making a fuss out of a molehill, being too cautious, and substituted the situation in Nuanyun Valley into Qinglinfang.

But in fact, Qinglinfang is far more orderly than the rural place in Nuanyun Valley.

Not to mention Qi-training monks, even foundation-building experts have to obey the rules here.

Otherwise, Qingxuanzong would immediately teach him how to behave.

Just like that, his attitude relaxed a little bit.

Although it is not necessary to completely ignore the teacher's instructions, for such a trivial matter as taking a shortcut when going home, there is no need to strictly adhere to rigid rules.

At this moment, Yu Peng suddenly felt a chill on his back.

A piece of jewelry that hangs around the neck is actually a precious, high-grade defensive weapon that automatically activates and spreads out a halo of light.

With a "ding" sound, the aperture popped out a transparent rope hidden in the air that was being put around his neck.

Yu Peng felt cold in his heart and had no time to think about it, so he immediately activated the high-grade robe.

A spiritual shield rose up, protecting him in the middle.

Yu Peng breathed a sigh of relief and saw that a palm had been quietly placed on the shield.

The next moment, the aura shield that could defend against a full-strength strike from the ninth level of ordinary Qi training was shattered.

The big hand stretched forward and grabbed his neck.

Facing the palm that quickly enlarged in sight, Yu Peng was completely desperate.

The thought that flashed through my mind was not the sudden crisis itself, but a strong feeling of regret.

"I regret not listening to the teacher!"

But……

Yu Peng's eyes widened, thinking it was his imagination.

"Time stopped?"

Otherwise, he could clearly feel the rough texture of the big hand on his neck.

He felt that the big hands would tighten in the next moment, and his neck would either be pinched directly, or someone would lift him up like a chicken.

However, the hand actually stopped at this moment and did not move!

He looked up at the sky above him. A leaf was floating through the air, and the wind was blowing.

Time is moving!

what happened?

Although he was confused, Yu Peng, who was so frightened that he lost his ability to adapt, immediately took a step back and freed his neck from the grasp of the big hand.

He touched his neck, which felt cold, and felt a lingering fear in his heart.

Looking at the burly man opposite, he stood there motionless, as if he had transformed into an ice sculpture.

He was scared and confused in his heart, but he still had the guts to step forward and push lightly, and the man fell hard to one side.

But the man did not fall completely, but was held up by an invisible force.

And as the man fell, Yu Peng was shocked to find that there was another person behind him.

However, the next moment he turned from horror to surprise and blurted out: "Uncle Zhou!"

Meng Zhou, who had quietly transformed back into "Physician Zhou" in this alley, just smiled and nodded.

Yu Peng first looked at the strange and burly man being held by Meng Zhouxu, and then looked at Meng Zhou. His mind was full of doubts, but in the end he just asked:

"Uncle Zhou, you are also in Qinglinfang. You were there just now, right?

Why didn't you take action earlier? I was really scared to death just now! "

Meng Zhou chuckled, "I just think you, this kid, should receive a profound lesson."

Yu Peng nodded hurriedly: "It's profound, this lesson is really profound.

…Who is this person, and why did he attack me for no reason? "

Meng Zhou said: "Ask me, I'm still curious!"

As he spoke, the mask as thin as a cicada's wings was lifted off the man's face by an invisible force.

While practicing Qi, Meng Zhou perfected the Crane Control Hand and could transform his magic power into magic hands at will.

As this martial skill becomes innate and combined with the strength of foundation building, it becomes more convenient and invisible when used.

Whether it is mana, energy, blood, or even spiritual consciousness, they can completely replace the role of hands within a certain range around the body.

Moreover, it does not need to be transformed into the shape of a hand. It does not stick to any shape. It can gather and disperse as desired like flowing water, or it can also be like invisible tentacles that curl and stretch.

Just now, the only way to restrain the disguised man was to put a cold force directly against his back into his body.

The other party appeared to be fine, but his meridians, blood vessels, internal organs and Dantian, and his brain were frozen to the bone.

If the opponent is really pushed to the ground by Yu Peng, there is a high probability that he will be directly thrown to death.

The reason why he held it up with all his strength was because after the other party attacked Yu Peng, he had no murderous intention and did not kill him.

But just want to control the other party, leaving room for everything.

Meng Zhou did not kill him, but just controlled him.

After removing the other party's mask, a rough face appeared, giving Meng Zhou a familiar feeling.

As he was reminiscing in his mind, Yu Peng beside him had already exclaimed: "Du He!"

When he exclaimed, Meng Zhou's heart suddenly became clear.

Yes, isn't this the boss of Heshengtang, Du He!

Under his own guidance, Chu Zheng hired the monks from Heshengtang.

Then a caravan was organized to explore the market in Hongsong Ridge. This was also the beginning of large-scale trade between Nuanyun Valley and Hongsong Ridge.

Because this move touched many inherent interests, he encountered a "robbery repair" on his way back.

Under He Shengtang's fierce battle, He Shengtang sacrificed a lot, and Du He was also seriously injured, so that Chu Zheng and others could escape back to Nuanyun Valley.

It was also because of this incident that the Professionals Association brought in more forces to share this big cake.

At that time, I also performed "emergency care" for many Heshengtang monks, including Du He. Judging from the exchanges between Du He and Chu Zheng at that time, it seemed that the two had quite a friendship.

This is also reasonable, after all, we have experienced life and death together.

But what happened now that Du He came to capture Chu Zheng's disciple?

Questions arose in Meng Zhou's mind, but Yu Peng fell silent after discovering that the person who attacked him was Du He.

When Meng Zhou saw this, he knew there was another story.

Anyway, he had shown his face in front of Yu Peng, and he just wanted to know something. He looked around and said, "Where do you live? Is it far from here?"

Yu Peng also reacted and immediately said: "Not far away, just across the alley... This is not the place to talk. Uncle Zhou, please go to my place first."

Then he looked at Du He, whose eyes were wide and lifeless, as if he were dead, "Uncle Zhou, is he dead?"

Meng Zhou shook his head: "I just restrained him, he's not dead yet."

Yu Peng was shocked by Uncle Zhou's strength, and he breathed a sigh of relief when he heard what he said.

"Then don't kill him, and take me somewhere together."

"Let's go." Meng Zhou nodded and sent out an invisible force to straighten Du He upright and eliminate the coldness in his knees, ankles, waist and crotch. Du He started walking like a normal person.

As Yu Peng walked on the road, he turned his head many times to look, feeling that a trace of cold air was seeping out from the cracks in his bones.

Originally, when he saw Uncle Zhou for the first time, he had many questions to ask.

Why are you here in Qinglinfang? Why did you leave last year without even saying hello? Why is it so urgent? Where have you been all this time, Balabala.

Now, it's like his mouth is zipped shut.

He would only reply when Meng Zhou asked, and the rest of the time he would lead the way honestly.

"Is your teacher here too?" Meng Zhou asked.

Yu Peng shook his head: "No, he is still in Nuanyun Valley."

"Then who are you living with now?"

"I'm here alone...Uncle Zhou, right here."

Seeing that the alley was about to come to an end, Yu Peng did not continue walking forward, but turned around and entered a small door opened in the courtyard wall.

In the courtyard is a four-story, box-like building.

The "box" where Yu Peng lives is in the corner of the first floor, near the small door where they entered.

Meng Zhou had paid attention to this kind of residence when he first came to Qinglinfang to look for a place to live.

Meng Zhou called it the "Tongzi Tower" because it was so similar to the building of the same name in his previous life.

This is a residence specially provided for monks in the early and middle stages of Qi training. This is the most cost-effective building in Qinglinfang.

There is nothing that can be done about it. With the financial resources of monks in the early stage of Qi training and those in the middle stage of Qi training, the house prices are too expensive, so they can only sleep on the road.

Although the environment looks a little worse, the indoor space is actually not small.

The quality of spiritual energy is also the first-level medium in terms of quality and quantity, and no more leakage will come in. It is actually not easy to achieve this in reverse for the second-level spiritual energy.

After returning home, Yu Peng was obviously much more relaxed.

Inviting Meng Zhou to sit down, he was already preparing to boil water and make tea.

Meng Zhou waved his hand to stop him, and looked at Du He, who was sitting upright on a low stool like a puppet, "Tell me, what's going on with him?"

Yu Peng put down the kettle, sighed and said:

"He is blaming the teacher and refusing to save him and Shengtang.

But he didn’t know that if it weren’t for the teacher, he wouldn’t have been able to leave Nuanyun Valley alive! "

Meng Zhou was even more confused and asked doubtfully: "What's wrong with Heshengtang?"

Yu Peng raised his eyes and saw Meng Zhou's confused look on his face. He thought for a moment, patted his forehead, and said suddenly:

"Oh, Uncle Zhou happened to leave Nuanyun Valley when the incident happened in He Shengtang, so you don't know what happened next."

Meng Zhou's heart stirred, he remembered something, and strange emotions arose in his heart.

No way, it’s not such a coincidence, right? !

Why do you mean something happened to He Shengtang when I left?

Yu Peng has already begun to introduce the general situation.

"You also know that He Shengtang once pretended to be a Jie cultivator and killed many casual cultivators who went to Hongsong Ridge to make profits.

Of course, other companies have done this, but not as blatantly as Heshengtang.

However, there is still a big difference between Heshengtang and the others.

Several other groups robbed and killed the casual cultivators just to act as a deterrent and prevent them from getting involved in the trade routes of Nuanyun Valley and Hongsong Ridge.

Unlike Shengtang, they were greedy for the unexpected windfall they made from robbery and killing.

The number of targets for robbery and killing also tends to expand. Under the slogan of protecting the trade routes for everyone, everyone takes the blame together.

He Shengtang acted like this behind his back. The other companies were very dissatisfied and even put pressure on Du He many times.

But Du He pushed him back every time, and they broke up many times on bad terms. "

"Yes." Meng Zhou nodded. This was because he had the right to speak because he was one of the "victims".

"Ke Duhe this guy..."

When Yu Peng said this, he looked at Du He, who was sitting next to him like a puppet, and shook his head, "The teacher said, this is a fool!"

"Fool?" Meng Zhou looked at Du He and thought, if he could earn such a situation in Nuanyun Valley, would he be a fool?

“His talents are in cultivation and fighting, and all his time and energy are spent on this.

During the rise of Heshengtang, he was called the boss of Heshengtang, and he was actually the top thug.

The person who is really doing things behind the scenes is a guy named Zheng Sheng. It is said that this guy is the dog-headed military advisor of He Shengtang.

His cultivation talent is very poor, and he is not good at fighting. He just has many crooked ideas and bad ideas.

He was the one who initiated the robbing and killing of casual cultivators, and the expansion of the scope of the robbing and killing by He Shengtang was the result of his direct leadership. "

"Oh?" Meng Zhou raised his eyebrows, a little confused.

“And just before and after you left Nuanyun Valley, something big happened in Heshengtang.

Zheng Sheng and several key members of Heshengtang died tragically outside Nuanyun Valley.

Unfortunately, just one day ago, several other forces had a dispute with Du He over this matter.

Some of them even said harsh words on the spot, saying that if Du He could no longer restrain He Shengtang, they would take the initiative to help restrain He Shengtang.

As a result, Zheng Sheng died outside the next day.

The news spread back to He Shengtang, and Du He immediately determined that the murderer was the same forces that had just put pressure on him.

He immediately broke out and led the Heshengtang gang to fight fiercely with several forces in Nuanyun Valley.

If the teacher and the association hadn't been running on both sides, trying their best to appease and make peace, the matter could have been calmed down.

Although Heshengtang will be completely wiped out, the other companies will definitely suffer heavy losses, and the order of the entire Nuanyun Valley will be severely damaged. "

Having said this, Yu Peng shook his head: "Who knew Du He would be so reckless as to start a war directly in Nuanyun Valley?"

"Uh..." Meng Zhou's eyes widened, feeling that he had missed a good show. It felt like it was a chain reaction caused by a firecracker he accidentally lit before leaving.

“Everyone was holding back their anger and managed to stay calm for more than a month.

At this moment, a piece of news came from Hongsong Ridge, which directly overwhelmed the already tense situation! "

"What's the matter?" Meng Zhou asked.

How come that time coincides with the time when I finish the retreat in Shuilian Cave and head to Hongsong Ridge?

No way?

Meng Zhou vaguely foresaw a certain possibility again.

Yu Peng has revealed the answer.

"The association has learned its lesson from the beginning, and it has roped in a local force in Hongsong Ridge to cooperate!

Although the force named Anle Gang received a lot of dividends from this, it was also dissatisfied by other forces in Hongsong Ridge.

This is nothing.

But less than two days after He Shengtang's incident, something big happened to the Anle Gang, even far more serious than He Shengtang!

It is said that it was deliberately set up, which not only killed many key members of the gang, but also killed a ninth-level Qi practitioner.

Because the commotion was too big, all the forces in Hongsong Ridge soon knew about it.

Before the Anle Gang could react, they took action together, adding insult to injury, and directly eliminated the Anle Gang from Hongsong Ridge.

Even the most powerful Anle gang leader died in the encirclement and killing of many ninth-level qi-training monks. "

"Pfft...cough...cough..."

Meng Zhou could no longer hold back, but he turned the laughter in his heart that was aroused by the excessive absurdity into a violent cough.

Seeing Yu Peng looking over curiously, Meng Zhou waved his hand and said, "I'm fine, you continue!"

Yu Peng said: "This matter quickly spread back to Nuanyun Valley. Almost on the same day, starting from the Nuanyun Valley market, a rumor spread quickly."

"What rumors?"

"Because the ones who pretend to be Jie cultivators and kill rogue cultivators the most are He Sheng Tang and An Le Gang. One is responsible for plugging the leak in Nuanyun Valley, and the other is responsible for plugging the leak at Hongsong Ridge.

As a result, in less than two months, both forces suffered their comeuppance.

So some people said that this was a tit-for-tat counterattack by some powerful casual cultivators who couldn't stand what He Shengtang and the Anle Gang were doing.

There is even something even more outrageous, saying that this is a tribulation cleaning mission issued by Qingxuan Sect to the disciples in the sect.

Since some people want to pretend to be Jie Xiu without opening their eyes, the Qingxuan Sect disciples who have received the task are naturally happy to use their heads to deal with the problem.

Additionally, there are rumors that this is not the end, but the beginning.

All the big forces in Nuanyun Valley and Red Pine Ridge are suspected, no one can escape!

Only those forces that prove their innocence with actual actions can avoid suspicion!

Why did the other forces in Hongsong Ridge suddenly take action and wipe out the Anle Gang together?

Isn’t it just to prove one’s innocence? "

"..." Meng Zhou.

"Afterwards, everyone did some secret investigation into these rumors, and only then discovered that they were actually random words of anger made up by some family members of the rogue cultivators who were robbed and killed, as well as those who were lucky enough to survive.

But what everyone didn't know at the time was that this rumor quickly spread to everyone. "

"..."

It was a very serious matter, but Meng Zhou just felt like laughing.

He could even imagine that the various parties in Nuanyun Valley had just had a fight with He Shengtang. The anger on both sides had not subsided, and they were still at war with each other. They felt that they were "unavoidable" when they were confronted by this rumor. "Fuck" mentality.

Several other forces have already had a fierce battle with Heshengtang. Regardless of whether the rumors are true or false, they will never mind being the "second one in Hongsong Ridge" and working together to get rid of the cancer that is Heshengtang.

As for Heshengtang, there was such a thrilling example as the Anle Gang was wiped out. It was already in a situation surrounded by wolves, and the situation was already very dangerous.

If you are stimulated by this rumor, why don't you explode on the spot? !

Yu Peng shook his head and sighed, saying:

“In a situation like that, there’s nothing to say about the outcome.

Several other forces that were prepared this time removed Heshengtang from Nuanyun Valley after paying a certain price.

Except for Du He, who only narrowly escaped with his body, all the top backbones were wiped out.

The middle and lower levels were divided among several forces after clearing out some die-hards. "

Having said this, he looked at Du He again and sighed again.

"At that time, he was fighting fiercely with others and yelling angrily, regretting that he should not have listened to the teacher's words.

He also scolded the teacher for not keeping his word and talking like farts.

Because for the first time Du He led the entire Heshengtang to an uprising, catching other forces off guard, it was the time when Heshengtang had the most advantage.

With Du He's temper, even if He Shengtang is wiped out, several other companies will lose their teeth.

It was the teacher who personally came forward to make peace, and even tried his best to ensure that the association could negotiate with other companies without any backlash, so he withdrew his weapons.

Since that day, other companies have taken precautions.

It is no longer possible for him to recreate the situation that day with the help of He Shengtang and his family. "

Meng Zhou could think of Du He's aggrieved heart.

It's like grabbing a bomb in the hand of Landlord, even if it is a sure-losing card, but if the bomb in the hand is not played until the end of the game, and it is suppressed in the hand and becomes a squib, everyone will feel unhappy.

But when he vented his resentment on Chu Zheng, it felt like he was incompetent and furious.

Meng Zhou had no psychological burden at all for having single-handedly promoted the removal of Heshengtang and the Anle Gang.

"I was just passing by, I really didn't target you intentionally."

After listening to Yu Peng's story, he felt like he had a clear idea.

"What about you? What's wrong with you?" Meng Zhou asked.

Yu Peng said:

“First, the Hongsong Ridge Anle Gang was eliminated, and then Nuanyun Valley and Shengtang were eliminated.

Such big events happened one after another in a short period of time. This shocked all the monks in Hongsong Ridge and Nuanyun Valley, and it also shocked the association.

In addition, several other forces in Nuanyun Valley also suffered many losses in the process of siege and Shengtang, and the rumors of Nuanyun Valley quickly spread to Hongsong Ridge.

Those casual cultivators on both sides who had been frightened into hibernation, and those who were bold, have begun to resume activities and frequently travel between the two places.

This time, no force dared to pretend to be rogue cultivators and rob and kill them.

As a result, this trade route became very active for a while.

However, precisely for this reason, the price difference between resources and various finished products between the two places is also rapidly narrowing, and the profit margin is becoming smaller and smaller.

Although, the association will always have something to drink, and the profits will be able to maintain operations.

But many members who once ate meat are no longer satisfied.

At that time, the association was discussing whether to follow the story of Red Pine Ridge and develop a second or even more trade routes.

At this moment, shocking news came one after another. "

Tomorrow is my father’s birthday, so I’ll continue writing to lighten the burden for tomorrow.

Furthermore, in my plan, in addition to the two badges that can be obtained through the update, there is another goal that you can try hard, which is to get on the combat power list. The current rules of the combat power list are that you must order more than 500 in each. I am qualified, but the current average subscription number is more than 400. A simple math question will show that the more chapters there are, the average subscription will be lowered, so I will not consider it for now until I can stably enter the combat rankings. (Because the subscription data convention is that the first subscription is the largest, followed by the second chapter, the third chapter, and the further back, the smaller the data will be. The more chapters are added, the more hindrances will be required)

If I can enter the battle rankings, I really want to test my limits!

I once had a glorious record of writing more than 400,000 words in two consecutive months. Old book friends should know that I am the kind of person who writes more smoothly the more I write. The more words I update every month, the more interesting the plot is. The fewer words I update, that’s the plot. The beginning of crotch pulling.
