Chapter 48
050: Going with the flow, it is difficult for both God and man (read next)
As soon as Chen Dengming saw the situation outside the Qingxiu Land, he understood that people must have visited this Qingxiu Land, and some people even forced their way through.
This is not something unexpected.
After all, as long as Xu Ning and the people from Tielintang don't give up, they will definitely search for him everywhere, and the place where he once stayed is no exception.
But these people cannot stay in this place for a long time, waiting for him to fall into a trap.
After all, he has shown the ability to severely injure fourth-level Qi-training monks. What level of manpower is left to guard him?
And at this critical moment of fierce battle, how can such a powerful manpower be wasted waiting in a corner, just waiting for someone who may not appear?
Chen Dengming was also aware of these situations, so he dared to come to the Qingxiu place to get his things back.
But now he had a vague feeling that there seemed to be someone in the Qing Xiu Land.
He is not the only one who feels this way. The little formation spirit, which is extremely sensitive to qi and the breath of life, feels it even more strongly, and has already conveyed an early warning emotion to him within the formation disk.
"Is it a casual cultivator who accidentally wandered in and settled temporarily, or"
Next, Chen Dengming went to two other locations where the luggage was hidden.
He rolled up his sleeves, quickly collected the items on the ground, called away the blood centipede and the two golden silkworms that drank the spiritual energy in the monk's blood, and left quickly.
"blockade?"
But who can say for certain, who is the hunter and who is the prey?
I picked up one of the luggages smoothly, but something unexpected happened while picking up the other luggage.
Chen Dengming frowned and finally responded with a cold snort, "If it's so difficult to get along outside, why are you still hiding here? Instead of going to the Luo family? You are a member of the Luo family after all."
The gaze cast from behind the bamboo hat was observing the middle-aged man who fell to the ground.
However, when he was about to move away, a voice gathered his energy and transmitted sound, reaching his ears from afar.
However, the two pieces of spiritual stone Gu were still held in the hands of the two dead bodies.
The golden ancient bell cracked a little, but the flying knife bounced away.
"After this place was searched, I hid in it. The most dangerous place is the safest. But then I accidentally found your luggage hidden here, thinking that you might turn back.
However, he saw that the opponent's neck and face were bitten to a black and blue color, and the air was already coming in but not coming out.
Chen Dengming hesitated for only a moment, and then began to retreat slowly. For safety reasons, he was ready to give up and avoid falling into a trap specially set for him.
Meeting Qian Yuan at Qingxiu's residence was completely unexpected.
I originally planned to join forces with you, but if you don't show up in the near future, I will leave too.
Chen Dengming's eyes flashed slightly, and he was about to retreat when a very slight sound of breaking wind suddenly came from the moment his footsteps moved.
It's a pity that he met Chen Dengming, who was about to enter the fourth level of Qi training, and a murderous monster like Gu Chong.
This is also a monk with the third level of Qi training. No wonder he dares to use corpses and spiritual stones as bait to 'hunt'.
Chen Dengming frowned and walked around the two corpses buried in the snow, picking up the spiritual stones he had scattered on the ground.
As for the other party's willingness to give him the luggage in the end, it is easy to understand. It is to stabilize and give him some good impression, and to turn the hostility into friendship, so as to prevent him from turning around and selling it, or failing to get what he wants.
What kind of sinister thing is Shi playing?
He looked strange and patted his ears.
However, at that moment, a dark shadow passed through the gap in an instant, and its four wings, as thin as cicada's wings, trembled and immediately pounced on the opponent.
At this time, the woods ahead rippled, and the phantom formation opened up, revealing the figure of a gray-haired, one-armed old man.
Ten feet away in front of him, he opened his luggage and looked at the more than thirty pieces of low-grade spirit stones wrapped together and tied with a special binding technique. The spirit stone Gu among them was not moved at all.
Since you don’t want to join forces, just take your things and hope to see you again in the future. You and I are friends, not enemies!"
But he saw Chen Dengming throw the long knife in his hand casually, and the long knife instantly turned into a ray of cold light under the control of the weapon control technique. When it turned into air, it drew an arc of extraordinary beauty, piercing a big tree and heading straight for the sneak attacker.
The sneak attacker shouted loudly, and an ancient bell suddenly appeared outside his body, which instantly intercepted the flying knife, erupting into an extremely depressing muffled thunder that could be heard far and near.
Chen Dengming took away the spirit stone, threw down his bag containing other sundries, and left quickly using his magic technique.
He had been on guard for a long time and quickly avoided it as soon as he flashed.
The blood centipede flew out with a buzzing sound, got into the bag to investigate for a moment, and flew back with a buzzing sound.
Chen Dengming's face was calm, but his body moved and he floated closer.
The other party's eyes were bright, but his face was haggard, and his body smelled faintly of medicine. His eyes were fixed on Chen Dengming's position a hundred feet away, and he raised his hand in greeting from a distance.
Chen Denming was startled and couldn't help but pause in his steps. He frowned and looked around with great vigilance, holding the Ice Spirit Knife in his palm.
For ordinary casual cultivators, it is difficult to equip a spiritual pet-level treasure such as a Gu insect with all its magical weapons.
He kept walking and continued to retreat, becoming even more vigilant in his heart. The two giant Gu insects were also on standby at any time.
"ah!--"
After counting carefully, there are still a few pieces missing.
As for the other soul-stealing array, I don't know if Qian Yuan didn't give it to him, or if it had already been taken away by someone who was looking for it.
"Why would you, Fellow Daoist Chen, reject others thousands of miles away? You and I may have had some quarrels in the past, but now you and I are both lost dogs, and we are both degraded people in the world. If we don't work together, we will have a chance to break through the blockade."
Even without this relationship, I am no longer welcome by the Luo family. Although Xu Ning and I have worked for the Luo family these years, we are still the leaders of a force after all. Whose butt will be clean?
Chen Dengming was indifferent for a while and said, "In that case, let's just treat it as if we haven't met each other today. From now on, we will each have our own destiny. As for joining forces to break through the level, it's impossible!"
"Bang!——"
Chen Dengming raised his eyebrows, looked at his luggage, and saw Qian Yuan returning to his residence, his figure covered by the phantom array.
He slashed out with a knife, and the light of the knife seemed to have eyes. With a "clang" sound, the Ice Spirit Knife and the incoming magic weapon collided with each other, bringing up bursts of powerful wind, blowing Chen Dengming's clothes all over his body and flying backwards.
The sound of hunting.
Xu Ning has been secretly transporting some women to the Zhu family as a trade. Although I have not cooperated with the Zhu family, I have also cooperated with the merchant alliance and committed a lot of corruption. Do you think the Luo family will let me go?"
However, both sides have temporarily ceased fighting in the past few days. The Luo family has chosen to be patient, while the Zhu family has set up checkpoints and blockades on key roads in many areas, mainly to investigate and arrest those of us who have slipped through the net."
Chen Dengming's eyes flashed, and he used the weapon control technique to take the luggage back.
Qian Yuan accurately grasped Chen Dengming's movements, shook his head and said, "It seems that Chen Daoyou doesn't know what happened recently. The war between the Zhu family and the Luo family is not over yet.
"The third level of Qi training!"
When Qian Yuan heard Chen Dengming's response, he breathed a sigh of relief and said with a wry smile, "Not to mention that the Zhu family now has the upper hand and has set up checkpoints at various important roads. As long as I approach that direction, I will definitely be noticed.
On the other hand, as the boss of the Hutong Street, the other party must have taken a lot of trouble with him when he escaped from the gathering place. There was no need to keep his few spiritual stones that were obviously tampered with, so it would be better to follow the tide.
It snowed heavily, and mortals almost froze to death and starved to death. Many monks were forced to survive in the wild due to the threat of monsters, and some used their own strength to take advantage of the chaos and plot to kill others.
After saying this, a bag of luggage was thrown out by Qian Yuan and landed far away on a treetop.
The screams started to spread, but they soon stopped.
This luggage has actually been tampered with by more than one person, but all of them were poisoned by the spirit stone poison.
Chen Dengming narrowed his eyes and suddenly heard that the voice was special. It was Qian Yuan.
"Fellow……"
The expression of the man who secretly attacked changed, and he immediately wanted to retreat.
Chen Dengming looked around and vaguely noticed a faint air force in the distance. He quickly dispersed, apparently frightened and retreated.
"But Fellow Daoist Chen is here in person?"
"Um?"
Chen Dengming expected that this person was also desperate, otherwise he would not occupy the magpie's nest and hide in his territory.
The small formation spirit suddenly shook slightly in the waist.
Qian Yuan sighed, his eyes flashed, thinking about the rumors about this person, he finally nodded.
Chen Dengming didn't want to be a hunter, nor did he want to be a prey. After taking away his cultivation resources, he quickly returned to the valley.
This time, he doesn't plan to come out unless he uses up all his resources on cultivation.
