"Don't worry. I'm just worried about my daughter's safety. As long as she's safe, a blood ginseng tree is nothing."
The middle-aged monk replied with a relaxed expression.
"No, father, Guo'er doesn't want to leave alone!"
The girl was fair and delicate, just like a fairy in a painting. At this time, she grabbed the middle-aged monk's clothes tightly, shaking her head and shouting.
"Silly boy. Only when you leave here can you go to Fangshi to find your grandma. Then you can rescue your father when you come back."
The middle-aged monk's expression changed, his lips moved slightly several times, and he quickly conveyed a few words to the girl.
The girl was stunned for a moment, then nodded desperately to show her understanding.
"Okay, let's leave quickly. If we delay it any longer, Shi will change his mind."
Shi Lun seemed a little impatient and urged fiercely.
When the girl heard this, she was shocked. Although she was young and ignorant, she immediately understood the seriousness of the matter.
She reluctantly looked back at the middle-aged monk again, then waved her hand gently, and a white talisman instantly appeared in her hand.
He quickly attached it to his body, and a layer of white light suddenly appeared on the surface of his body, and he flew away into the distance, preparing to escape from the scene.
The two mid-term monks grasped the brocade box in their hands tightly, their eyes fixed on the behavior of their beloved daughter, for fear of missing any details.
When they found that the three black cultivators were unwavering and the girl Guo'er successfully dodged away from Shi Kun, their tension finally eased.
However, at this moment, something unexpected happened!
When the girl flew about two or three feet away from Shi Lun, a fierce light flashed in Shi Lun's eyes, and he waved his arm violently, turning into a black shadow and grabbing her backwards.
With a sound of "Ah", the girl screamed in terror and was grabbed by the shadow without any resistance.
Immediately afterwards, the black shadow pulled, and the girl's body flew back like an arrow, falling steadily into Shi Lun's hands.
A shiny black hand tightly grasped the girl's delicate neck.
"Shi Lun, what on earth do you want to do! Aren't you afraid that I will destroy this blood ginseng immediately?"
When the middle-aged monk saw this situation, he was shocked and angry. His hands flashed with aura, trying to suppress the brocade box in his hand, and at the same time he shouted loudly.
"Destroy? Aren't you afraid that I'll break this little girl's neck? Stop talking nonsense and throw the box over quickly. I'll count to three. If you don't take action, I'm going to do it! One, two...
"
Shi Lun completely ignored the middle-aged monk's threat and instead tightened his fingers.
The girl's face turned red, and she ruthlessly started counting down, not giving the middle-aged monk any time to react.
When the other two black cultivators saw this situation, they had triumphant smiles on their faces.
Only now did they understand that their companions did not intend to let the girl go at first, but planned to use her as a hostage and in turn threaten the other party.
Although the middle-aged monk was extremely witty, facing such a situation, he could only tremble with anger and his mind was in chaos.
When Shi Lun was about to shout for the third time, he threw the brocade box in his hand almost subconsciously.
A black cultivator walked up triumphantly and stretched out his hand to grab it.
With a "swish" sound, the brocade box was sucked in instantly.
"Check to see if it's really the blood ginseng inside!"
Shi Lun ordered without hesitation.
"No problem, Brother Shi!"
The cultivator holding the brocade box replied respectfully, and then with a slight movement of his palm, the brocade box was easily opened.
I saw the brocade box overflowing with blood, and a ginseng tree about a foot long, glowing with blood, lying quietly in the box.
"Brother Shi, yes, it is indeed blood ginseng!"
The practitioner's eyes were shining and he excitedly reported to Shi Lun. When Shi Lun and another practitioner heard the news, they all showed ecstatic expressions.
"So, now that you have obtained the blood ginseng, should you let this little girl go?"
The middle-aged monk looked extremely pale, gritted his teeth, and made the request coldly.
"Hmph, let you leave. Then go find your 'Fairy Yuehua' to take revenge on us?"
After Shi Lun heard this, he sneered, his eyes full of malice.
"Since you all know Bai's mother-in-law, how dare you attack again?" The middle-aged monk's heart sank completely when he heard this.
"Hahaha, do you think we haven't investigated your background?"
"If this were not the case, why would the three of us take risks? Although we don't want to be enemies with a monk in the alchemy stage, the blood ginseng on your body is too tempting."
"As long as we have this blood ginseng, the hope of forming an elixir for the three of us is right in front of us, so there is no need to be afraid of Fairy Yuehua."
"Moreover, even if you and your daughter are killed here, who can know that it was us who did this? Well, I have no time to waste words with you, let's do it!"
Shi Lun laughed wildly and said these words, then gave an order, pinched the girl's palm, flashed black light, and took the lead in attacking.
The middle-aged monk had a look of anxiety on his brows. He shouted in a low voice and then waved his wide sleeves.
A small sword flashing with a faint yellow light quietly appeared in his palm, containing powerful power, and flew towards Shi Lun.
However, such a swift attack was obviously unable to save the girl's life.
A cruel smile appeared on Shi Lun's lips, and he clenched his fingers tightly, preparing to break the girl's fragile neck in an instant.
However, at this critical moment, a jaw-dropping scene happened.
Shi Lun suddenly felt strange fluctuations in the surrounding environment.
Immediately afterwards, the girl's neck that he was holding tightly became extremely cold in an instant, and the severe pain from his fingertips made him unable to help but let out a shrill wail, and then he turned his head and looked at his hands in horror.
He found that the girl in his hand had long since disappeared, replaced by a dark iron puppet.
This chapter is not finished yet, please click on the next page to continue reading the exciting content! This puppet is not rough, but is covered with blue spikes about an inch long. And the palm he is holding tightly on the neck of the puppet is now
Cut by these sharp thorns, blood pours out.
The monk named Shi Lun showed amazing courage and strength. With a flick of his wrist, he dropped the iron puppet heavily to the ground nearby, and at the same time roared angrily:
"Who is it that secretly attacked me? Show up quickly and fight with me!"
As soon as he finished speaking, he suddenly turned his palm over, and a stack of black flags appeared in his hand.
The middle-aged monk looked confused and confused.
At this time, the other two black-clothed monks finally came to their senses and revealed their weapons - a pair of silver short swords and a strange black shield covered with barbs. At the same time, they released powerful spiritual consciousness and explored the surroundings.
.
"Young Master, I really can't stand it anymore. This battle seems inevitable."
A cold and ruthless voice suddenly came from behind a nearby big tree.
Shi Lun and others' expressions changed suddenly after hearing these words, and they looked in that direction warily.
"Hmph, you don't need to say anything. This kind of behavior is what I hate the most, Master Hai. Even if you rob property, you actually want to attack innocent women and children. I will make the three of them pay a heavy price."
"It's just that the two of us can't seem to defeat these three opponents."
Another angry male voice also sounded from behind the big tree, with a hint of worry in his tone.
"Hahaha, why be afraid! Brother Lin is still here! Three against three, even if we can't win, there will never be any danger!"
The first voice suddenly changed from cold to joyful.
Shi Lun, Luo Tou and Han Shan looked downcast and stared straight at the big tree in front of them.
However, what is unexpected is that just behind the big tree, a burst of green light suddenly flashed, and then three unidentified practitioners were revealed.
One of them is a handsome middle-aged man in golden Confucian attire, about thirty years old; the other is a Taoist priest who looks like a young man, with a dark wooden sword on his back, and is about seventeen or eighteen years old.
The most eye-catching thing was the young man with an ordinary face in a green robe. Although he was gentle and harmless, he held a silver talisman tightly in his left hand.
His right hand firmly grasps a thin girl. This girl is undoubtedly Bai Guoer.
There is no doubt that the three people in front of me are Lin Mo, Young Master Hai and Qi Lingzi.
The three of them had traveled a long distance and arrived here at this time.
The trip was about to reach Jiuxian Mountain, and they had been on the road recently, so they planned to rest in this remote place for a whole night, and then go to a nearby store the next day to look for the needed items.
However, what they never expected was that just as they were preparing to take a rest, Shi Lun and a group of gangsters also followed them, and openly staged a heinous act of robbery and murder in front of them.
Although such incidents are common in the spiritual world and traditional values have disappeared, Shi Lun's behavior was too despicable. Not only did he violate the agreement, but he also used an underage girl as a bargaining chip to threaten him.
This situation made Master Haid and Qi Lingzi unable to sit idly by. Out of a sense of justice, they stepped forward and launched a tacit rescue operation.
Of course, this also stems from their belief that Brother Lin is extremely powerful and will be able to deal with it with ease and will never let themselves fall into a life-threatening situation.
When the two companions stood up indignantly, Lin Mo sighed helplessly and also chose to join the battle.
"Excuse me, may I ask your surname? Why did you ignore the danger and intervene in the dispute between the three of us?"
When Shi Lun saw that there were only two foundation-building monks, and the other one was just an ordinary person with no cultivation.
His tension eased slightly, and he regained his ruthless expression and threatened.
"Qi Lingzi, your 'Peach Zombie Li Dai Talisman' is really magical. It can actually replace the little girl's body with a puppet."
"But don't forget, the last time we encountered a crisis, you, the spectator, never seemed to show the power of this talisman. Could it be said that at a moment of life and death, do you still want to keep one hand?"
Young Master Hai rolled his eyes at Qi Lingzi, obviously tracing an old score.
"Hmph! What are you talking about? Is my 'Peach Zombie Li Dai Talisman' so easy to refine and control?"
"In order to refine this talisman, I almost exhausted all my wealth before I managed to successfully refine it. Unfortunately, I found that my mana was insufficient and I couldn't drive it at all."
"If we hadn't given this talisman to Brother Lin just now, we might not have been able to save that little girl."
Qi Lingzi looked aggrieved and defended himself as if he was about to cry.
"There is such a thing!"
Hearing this, Young Master Hai couldn't help but be slightly startled, with a trace of surprise flashing in his eyes.
He and Qi Lingzi exchanged words with each other, as if they had completely forgotten about Shi Lun, who was burning with anger next to him, making Shi Lun's face even more embarrassed, as if he was livid.
The other two black-clothed monks standing by also had fierce eyes and a menacing look on their faces.
However, at this time, Lin Mo waved his arm gently and effortlessly placed Bai Guoer's tender body on the ground next to him, with an unpredictable smile appearing on the corner of his mouth.
Bai Guoer, on the other hand, had just struggled back from the edge of life and death and had not yet fully recovered. She just stared blankly at Lin Mo and others, appearing at a loss.
"Give me a hand and kill these three daring guys!"
Shi Lun's face darkened, and he finally couldn't help but issue an order full of murderous intent.
With his rich experience, although the number of opponents increased to three, he believed that the only one who really needed to be vigilant was the young man in the late stage of foundation building who was always silent.
In addition, the other two members of their team, one is a practitioner in the early stage of foundation building, and the other is an ordinary secular person.
In addition to the middle-aged male cultivator who had already appeared before, there was just one more cultivator in the middle stage of foundation building in their team.
However, these three people are all masters of Dzogchen in the late stage of foundation building. Judging from their cultivation level alone, they are enough to easily suppress their opponents.
Not to mention that he single-handedly made the two companions fearful. It is obvious that he has some extremely powerful trump cards and even poses a great threat to the monks in the alchemy stage.
Therefore, he was full of confidence in defeating the enemies in front of him.
The only problem that bothers him is that if he tries to eliminate all these people, it may not be easy to achieve.
Because if the other party really wants to escape, it will be really difficult for him to keep everyone behind.
This was also the reason why he did not take immediate action at first, but chose to use words to stabilize Lin Mo and others.
However, this is not the first time that Shi Lun has engaged in such robbery and murder.
When he realized that he could not convince others, he immediately gave up any illusions, murderous intention emerged, and decided to take action.
According to his idea, even if one or two people do manage to escape, they can leave Jiuxian Mountain immediately and hide temporarily for a while.
He believed that real high-level monks would not go out of their way to hunt them down for such a trivial matter.
So, when he said the word "take action", the stack of black flags in his hand immediately turned into a dozen black lights and shot forward.
