Chapter 19: Enemies Meet on a Narrow Road
Su Qin finished making up lies for Ye Ling, and then gave him a complicated look.
Everyone is a disciple of the Yaogu Sect, and they all know that the second-level top-quality vine seeds are in high demand, but they are very rare and are the most expensive in the market. How many wood cultivators are eager to own it, but Ye Ling can actually collect so many! Everyone found it a bit strange.
Ye Ling looked at him and said with a smile: "Okay, okay, I hope everyone is safe and sound. Thank you three for coming to save us, Ye is very grateful!"
"My brother, why are you so polite!"
Meng Chang is a straight-tempered person who laughs boldly.
Only Zishan looked at Sister Suqin, then at Brother Ye, pursed her lips and smiled: "I don't know how Brother Ye and Sister Suqin made an appointment, and came so far away in the middle of the night, making it easy for us to find them. !whee."
Su Qin felt her face was burning and she didn't know how to explain it. She rolled her eyes at Ye Ling, wishing she could kill him with her eyes.
But she also knew that if Ye Ling hadn't bravely killed most of the demon wolves tonight, the consequences would have been disastrous.
Ye Ling smiled at this and did not explain. He turned around and slashed the wind blade, cutting off the first-order demon wolf king's demon wolf fangs. Then he went to collect the formation flag and said leisurely:
"There are a lot of materials for refining weapons here. You can pick up as many as you can. If you really don't like them, I will burn the vines and corpses and go back to the camp to rest. Haha."
Meng Chang was overjoyed. He picked up the Wolf King's fang that Ye Ling chopped off and exclaimed: "Yeah! The demon wolf's fur and demon wolf fangs are the most valuable! It's a pity that the fur was damaged by the toothed leaf vine, so we can only collect the demon wolf fangs." Ahem, the Wolf King’s fang that Brother Ye chopped off is the best, it should be able to refine a very good first-order magic weapon!”
"Since it's good, it's yours!"
Ye Ling smiled indifferently and secretly said that Meng Chang was only at the second level of Qi training. He could use the teeth of the Wolf King to forge the first-level magic weapon and it would still be useful for a while; but for him, the first-level magic weapon was of no use at all.
Meng Chang couldn't help being happy, thanked him repeatedly, and put it into his storage bag with a smile.
Everyone collected the fangs of the demon wolf, used the fireball technique to set off a fire, burned all the toothed leaf vines and the corpse of the demon wolf, and returned home with a full load.
After this incident, Suqin's attitude toward Ye Ling was subtle. She never mentioned Ye Ling's growth to everyone. It was as if both of them had buried everything that night deep in their hearts, making it a secret that no one wanted to talk about. .
In the next few days, in addition to daily meditation practice and secretly entering the immortal mansion to take care of the spiritual field, Ye Ling still went out alone to "collect medicine" and look for bad luck from second-level monsters. The astonishing evil energy all over his body continued to increase. .
As for He Jingsheng, Meng Chang and Zi Shan, even if Su Qin didn't say anything, they all vaguely guessed that Ye Ling was extraordinary, so they left him to collect medicine and kill monsters by himself. The four of them still formed a team to practice in the Changxi Wilderness, and they were also traveling around Kill monsters.
On this day, Ye Ling was hunting down the second-level wind demon fox in the west of Changxi Wilderness, trying to seal it with the ice sealing technique in the Xuanbing Curse. This kind of demon fox is extremely fast, far better than ordinary second-level demon beasts. While chasing, Ye Ling drank the golden dew spirit wine to replenish his mana, and used the wind control technique to the extreme!
"I don't believe I can't catch up! Let's see where you're going to escape!" Ye Ling stood up, as if an afterimage was drawn in mid-air! Then he pointed his fingers and made a seal, blasted out a ball of frost-like cold air, and shouted: "Seal!"
The cold air invaded the demon fox and immediately froze the little guy, forming a small ice sculpture!
"Succeeded!" Ye Ling was overjoyed, stretched out his hand, grabbed it, injected warm spiritual power with the fire heart method, melted the ice sculpture, and let go of the second-level little demon fox.
The demon fox is different from ferocious monsters such as wolves and bears. It is timid by nature and will run away quickly at the slightest sign of trouble. It will not actively attack the monks. Ye Ling only chases it to increase his Taoist proficiency and chasing experience. Killing it is useless. Just lazy to kill.
Just as Ye Ling was looking for the next target with great interest, a cold light pierced the sky and flew from the southeast!
"Telephone?"
The faint light of the rune stayed in front of him. Ye Ling was slightly startled and recognized it. He saw that the rune was the same as the one in his storage bag. It was obviously unique to the Lu family of Fengqiao brought by Zishan or Suqin. Transmission notes.
Ye Ling took the talisman's ghostly light in his hand, scanned it with his consciousness, and his eyes focused on it!
"In the middle of the Changxi River, at the second-level demon crocodile, we encounter a group of strange monks who are making things difficult for us. We are outnumbered, so rush to help!"
Hearing the silvery bell-like sound in the dim light of the talisman, it was the transmission talisman played by Suqin for him. The sound was low and urgent, and it was obvious that something was wrong.
Ye Ling hurriedly took a jade slip of a map of the Changxi Wilderness, injected some magic power, and looked for the gathering place of the second-order demon crocodile. It turned out to be south of their camp on the bank of the Changxi River, a distance of seventy or eighty miles along the stream to the downstream. A shallow beach.
In other words, Ye Ling had to walk more than a hundred miles southeast from the west of Changxi Wilderness to the second-order monster crocodile gathering place in the south!
Ye Ling's eyes flashed with cold determination, he put away the jade slip, activated his wind control skills, and galloped across the wilderness like lightning!
"The team is in trouble and must arrive as soon as possible! I hope I can make it in time!"
Ye Ling knew that Suqin would not call out the transmission talisman to ask for help unless it was absolutely necessary.
Especially after that delicate night, the two ignored each other and became even more indifferent than before.
In this case, Suqin called the telegraph, indicating that the team was in a very dangerous situation, and the company captain He Jingsheng was doomed! Among the four of them, only Suqin knew Ye Ling's strength well, so she asked Ye Ling to rush for help to resolve the crisis.
"I encountered a group of strange monks making trouble? Where are the monks? Could it be that the two teams were fighting over the monster beasts, which caused a dispute?"
Ye Ling was thinking quickly along the way, while crushing several second-level top-grade magical talismans and speeding up.
"If they are made things difficult for them by fellow disciples, whether they are inner disciples or elite disciples in the late stage of Qi training, it will be fine! After all, they are all from the same sect, and there are sect rules. They can fight and learn from each other, but they are never allowed to kill each other. "
"It would be hard to tell if the people who are causing trouble for them are disciples of other sects! The gathering place of the second-order demon crocodile is located in the south of Changxi Wilderness, not far from the Southern Saint Sect! Most of them are the monks of the Southern Saint Sect who are causing trouble. "
Ye Ling gradually analyzed some clues, and the murderous intention in his heart became even worse! I wish I could rush to the Demon Crocodile Shoal in one step and use the power of the top-grade toothed leaf vine to kill the entire team of Southern Saint Sect monks!
After a few sticks of incense, Ye Ling could finally see a clear stream in the distance, winding like a jade belt embedded in the green grass and sky.
"We arrived at Changxi so quickly! It seems that chasing the sealed demon fox in the past few days has made me more proficient in wind control!"
Ye Ling was also a little surprised at his own speed. He drank Jinlu Spirit Wine to quickly replenish his mana, and used Zhang Shenxing Talisman. After a while, he went south along the Changxi River like the wind, spreading his consciousness to look for He Jingsheng, Suqin and others. The whereabouts of people.
Not long after walking, Ye Ling discovered traces of the second-order demon crocodile on the edge of the long stream. He did not confront the demon crocodile head-on, but flew along the shore from a distance. After all, the demon crocodile is the most powerful among the second-order demon beasts. It is ferocious, with rough skin and thick flesh, powerful scales, and very fierce attacks. It's like a group of monks in the early stage of Qi training who come together to kill, but they can't kill a demon crocodile for a while.
Ye Ling originally planned to come back here in a few days and try to kill the second-order demon crocodile. Unexpectedly, He Jingsheng and the others were bold enough to break into the gathering place of the second-order demon crocodile and kill them, and got into trouble.
Just as Ye Ling was running south along the Changxi River, he suddenly found a group of monks in front of him, more than twenty people in total! They gathered around a cave by the stream, gesticulating and talking.
Ye Ling saw He Jingsheng, Meng Chang, Zishan and Suqin at a glance.
Seeing that nothing happened to them, Ye Ling was slightly relieved, but in an instant, a strong crisis surged into his heart, and his pupils shrank sharply.
In the middle of the crowd, stood a graceful young monk with broad eyebrows and an arrogant expression. He was clearly the young master of the Southern Saint Sect who had sent two of his men to hunt down Ye Ling!
Ye Ling hurriedly wanted to retreat, but he had already been noticed by the powerful spiritual consciousness of the young master of Nan Sheng Sect in the late stage of Qi training, and stopped him from a distance.
"Where to go! Capture this person!"
The young master of Nansheng Sect raised his sword eyebrows slantingly. In Fengqiao Town, it was because of this person that he lost two subordinates who were in the middle stage of Qi training. So far, his two subordinates are neither alive nor dead, as if Disappeared out of thin air!
This account was naturally placed on Ye Ling's head. How could the young master of Nansheng Sect not be happy now that he had thrown himself into a trap?
Because even though he is the young master of the Southern Saint Sect, he cannot break into the Medicine Valley to arrest the suspect. Now that he is encountered in the desolate Changxi wilderness, he can definitely be unscrupulous!
Seeing several figures quickly chasing after him, Ye Ling's guts turned green with regret.
"I actually met him! Suqin, Suqin, you have caused me great harm!"
Ye Ling never expected that the person making things difficult for He Jingsheng, Su Qin and others would be the powerful young master of Nan Sheng Sect! He even brought a group of powerful inner disciples of Nan Sheng Sect to chase him, all of whom were at or above the fifth level of Qi training!
Ye Ling secretly thought to himself that there was no way to escape this time. Facing so many strong men, he could never defeat them. Only by outsmarting them could he have a chance of survival!
So Ye Ling suddenly stopped and suppressed his cultivation to the third level of Qi training. He waved his hand at the chasing inner disciples of Nansheng Sect and said with a very calm expression: "Wait a minute! Several fellow Taoists are chasing after me. What's the matter?"
"Our young sect master has an order. If you are wise, follow us obediently!"
The few inner disciples of Nansheng Sect who were chasing him were all arrogant and unreasonable, and they were ordered to block Ye Ling's way.
Ye Ling smiled calmly and nodded: "Oh! That's it, it scared me! Haha, I have a top-quality spiritual grass, and I'm about to ask your young master to appreciate it."
"Stop talking nonsense and let's go!"
Ye Ling was not afraid at all, he waved his robe sleeves coolly and walked back leisurely.
Before he could get closer, Ye Ling cupped his hands and said with a smile: "Young Sect Master! We said goodbye to Baicaotang, and we haven't seen each other for half a month. Are you okay?"
The young master of Nansheng Sect narrowed his eyes, looked at Ye Ling coldly, and said in a deep voice: "Hmph! Don't do this! Let me ask you! Where are my two subordinates who are in the middle stage of Qi training?"
A powerful spiritual pressure suddenly pressed towards Ye Ling. Even the monks around him were shocked, feeling the young sect master's rage and murderous intent!
He Jingsheng, Meng Chang and Zishan all looked horrified. They did not expect that Ye Ling actually knew the young master of Nan Sheng Sect. It would be fine if they were just acquaintances, but the most worrying thing is that the two of them seem to have a deep friendship!
Su Qin's heart palpitated even more, and she thought to herself: "I don't know when Ye Ling offended him? If I had known this, why would I have asked him to come! Now the situation for everyone is even worse."
Ye Ling saw the worry in their eyes, but he replied to the young master of Nansheng Sect with a confused expression: "Your two subordinates? Which two? Whose names are they? I don't know them. Their whereabouts, How could I know?"
"Boy, stop pretending! Where did you take the two people who followed me in the Baicao Hall that day? Tell me!"
