"Is it someone from the Demon Cult?" Zu An even suspected that it was Yun Jianyue who came, because the cultivation of those who can serve as sentries in such a strategic place for military strategists is second to none, and their agility is definitely first-class, leaving them completely too late.
He warned someone and was killed at the same time. What kind of skill is this?
However, he immediately rejected this speculation, because Yun Jianyue would not have made the scene so bloody. It would definitely be an art for her to do it.
Zu An quietly left the outpost at the entrance of the valley and rushed to the valley. As expected, the outpost in the valley was also eliminated, and even the observation tower on the top of the mountain was gone. It seemed that the situation was probably more serious than bad.
Zu An was about to check the situation at the exit when his ears suddenly moved and he heard the footsteps of many people coming from a distance.
He quickly jumped into a tree and used the dense canopy to hide his figure.
Not long after, a group of men in black quickly ran over and began to tidy up the messed up tables and chairs, clean up the bloodstains on the ground, etc. They sprinkled some kind of powder, and soon the bloodstains on the ground disappeared.
Zu An naturally understood their purpose of doing this, but it was useless. These sentries were all dead. Could it be that these people put on their clothes and pretended to be them?
But as long as the governor's house is not stupid, they will definitely bring people who are familiar with them here. They can recognize at a glance that these are not colleagues, so what's the point of pretending?
But to his surprise, these people left quickly after cleaning the scene. They did not pretend to be sentries, and what was even more bizarre was that they actually left all the sentry bodies where they were.
Zu An: "???"
But what surprised him even more was yet to come, because not long after, the corpses on the ground actually stood up!
It was shaky at first, but he quickly adapted to it, and finally stood guard there again with a spear in hand, but his face was much paler than before.
Zu An felt a cold air rising from his back. If he hadn't personally checked that they were indeed dead, Zu An would have even suspected that they were not dead at all.
"Corpse Gu?" In this world of cultivation, Zu An naturally did not think he was watching a ghost movie, but immediately thought of a secret technique he had encountered before.
Can control corpses through Gu insects, making them act like living people.
There must be a spellcaster nearby!
Zu An looked around and saw that the huge valley was silent and leafy everywhere. Those men in black had just disappeared into the forest and now half of their clothes were missing. How easy was it to find them?
Unfortunately, just because ordinary people couldn't find it doesn't mean that Zu An couldn't find it. He stretched out his left hand, and the jade cong pattern on his arm was looming, and he began to control the small animals in the entire valley to help him find it.
Soon, three-dimensional pictures were gathered in my mind, and the men in black who were hidden before were clearly visible.
Zu An couldn't help but sigh that the jade cong was really a magical weapon. Although it had no offensive power, wearing it was like having a radar map, and the whole place was like a see-through.
Soon he found his target. On the back of the lone wolf-shaped boulder on the top of the mountain, there was a skinny old man sitting cross-legged.
I saw him sitting there, and a black air spread around him unconsciously, and the grass nearby withered and turned black.
"It's like a humanoid biochemical weapon." Zu An complained endlessly, realizing that several people he met who practiced similar exercises had cultivated themselves into such a human-like appearance. What fun is there in life?
For example, if you get close to a beautiful girl and you poison her to death before you even hold her hand, let alone doing something more intimate, you are doomed to have no descendants.
Shaking his head, he quietly walked towards the top of the mountain. The map in his mind showed the location of each man in black, so he avoided them in advance without disturbing anyone.
All the way to the top of the mountain, there was a bright mirror blocking his breath, and he soon came to a tree a few feet away from the black-robed old man.
With his current level of cultivation, a sneak attack from this distance would be enough to kill him with one blow.
However, Zu An hesitated and gave up the attack. Firstly, he didn't know if the other party was Yun Jianyue's subordinate, and he was worried about hurting his own people. Secondly, he was still needed to control the sentries below, otherwise the people from the Taishou Mansion would arrive outside the valley.
You will find that it is unusual to not enter the valley.
In this way, the two of them started to meditate separately, separated by a few feet.
Zu An had previously absorbed the violent and bloody Qi of Taoist Taoist Taoist Thick Eyebrows, but had not yet had time to refine it. It was just a good time to get rid of the violent Qi in it, otherwise it would be easy to cause problems when he started to attack later.
Unknowingly, a few hours passed and the sun rose above his head. Zu An opened his eyes and felt the surging Qi in his body. He used to be at the ninth level and eighth level, but now he is at the peak of the ninth level. He is really only one step away from being a master.
Feet.
"Sure enough, the further you get to the back, the harder it will be to improve." The vitality required for each small step to improve is extremely huge. Even the Taoist Master with Thick Eyebrows can only help him improve one small step.
At this moment, the old man in black robe not far away opened his eyes. He stood up and hid his body behind the boulder, quietly looking at everything at the bottom of the valley.
"Here we come." Zu An was now condescending and could see the situation at the bottom of the valley.
I saw a group of men and horses slowly driving in, led by a military general holding a long spear, riding majestically on a tall horse, looking around with a pair of big copper bell-like eyes, vigilantly checking whether there was any danger nearby.
"This man is full of energy and blood, and he has the killing intent on the battlefield. He must be the captain of Yi County, Yang Sheng." Zu An secretly sighed, the court is really full of talents, and even a captain in the place has such a cultivation level.
Zu An quickly scanned it, and found that there was no prison car or anything like that, only an airtight carriage, and judging by its size, it should be the Grand Governor's vehicle.
I think the Prefect's Mansion came to cover up the fact that Qiu Honglei was being escorted in the name of the Prefect's patrol.
There were not many soldiers accompanying him, only about a hundred or so. I think they set off lightly in order to conceal themselves from others.
After all, it really alarmed the demon sect, and the leader of the demon sect personally took action. Under the Grand Master, it doesn't make much difference if they lead a hundred people or a thousand people, unless they lead an army.
After looking around, I didn't see the Lord of Yi County mentioned by Sang Hong. I guess he was staying in the carriage as the last line of insurance.
Zu An originally thought that the men in black would take action, but after waiting for a while, they still showed no sign of taking action.
Zu An couldn't help but frowned. He couldn't wait any longer, otherwise there would be problems with the No. 7 gold medal team.
So he directly used the skill of gale teleportation to come behind the black-robed old man.
At this time, the old man in black robe finally realized the danger, and black mist suddenly rose up all over his body. At the same time, he quickly raised his palms to form seals and murmured to himself.
Although he was shocked that the other party was so close to him without being noticed, he was confident in his poisonous mist. Ordinary monks would turn into bones if they were exposed to it.
Even for people with higher cultivation than him, it is very troublesome to be contaminated by the poison of black mist, and they may not be able to get rid of it for a year and a half.
As long as the opponent dodges, he will have time to summon the puppet. At that time, whether to go or stay is under his control.
However, his eyes widened instantly because he saw a white jade-like hand pass directly through the thick black mist in front of him and touch his chest.
The last thought before falling into coma was: "Why isn't this person afraid of my poisonous mist? Is he at a higher level than a master?"
Zu An frowned, mentioned him in disgust and threw him aside. Although he was not afraid of this man's poison, poison often had a bad smell, and the smell on his body was really unbearable.
As the black-robed old man passed out, the soldiers at the outposts in the valley seemed to have lost their souls, and fell to the ground one by one as soft as noodles.
There were also commotions coming from the escort team below, obviously noticing this unusual scene.
Zu An did not hesitate, and directly slapped the boulder in front of him with his palm, and the dozens of tons of stone crashed down with a rumble.
"Enemy attack!" A shrill warning sound came from below.
Yang Sheng, the captain of Yi County in front of the team, reacted the fastest. He waved his long spear at the tip of his toes and rushed towards the falling boulder. If it were allowed to hit the boulder, the team would probably suffer heavy losses.
The long spear in his hand stabbed out like lightning, directly blocking the lower edge of the boulder.
He did not use brute force, but used skillful strength to push it to the side. Even so, the impact of dozens of tons of flying boulders was so great, and the force of Zu An's push was attached to it.
After exercising all his ninth-grade cultivation, a long pole was bent to its limit, as if it was about to break at any moment.
"Get up!" He yelled and forcefully pushed the boulder aside a few feet. Although this distance was not much, the deviation from the target would become larger and larger as it continued to fall, enough for other people to react.
However, after this, the energy and blood in his body surged so much that he even felt a slight pain in his meridians.
While adjusting his breath, he looked down to check the situation of the team, when suddenly a soldier behind him suddenly rose into the sky, as fast as a meteor.
Yang Sheng's pupils shrank. At this moment, he had already judged that the opponent's cultivation level was not inferior to his, and the timing he chose was too cruel. It happened to be when his old strength had been used up and new strength had not yet been regenerated!
