"Junior brother, this route has been personally decided for us by our senior fellow apprentices. If we don't go to Jialing County, then where should we go?"
Changli asked with some confusion.
He has been staying in Qingyang Taoist Palace all his life. Except for occasionally walking down the mountain to experience the world of mortals, or doing chivalry and slaying demons, he rarely goes down the mountain.
So he didn't know much about the situation outside.
Moreover, he had always followed his superiors in the Dao Palace and never dared to have his own ideas, so now that Jiang Chen asked him to disobey his master's orders and find another way, he suddenly became a little panicked.
"Nanjia Mountain is the boundary mountain. To the west of this mountain is Jialing County, and to the east of this mountain is Hongwu County."
"I see the distribution of the enemy. Most of them are located to the west of Nanjia Mountain. That's because they have guessed that we are going to Jialing County to seek refuge."
"But we decided to go in the opposite direction. We headed northeast from Nanjia Mountain, all the way to Hongwu County. They must not have thought of it!"
"When we arrived at Hongwu County, we kept our names anonymous and waited until the limelight was over before we thought about inheriting the Taoist palace and taking revenge. What do you think, senior brother?"
Jiang Chen thought for a while before speaking.
"Junior brother is right, everything should be according to what he said!"
Chang Li thought for a moment, then nodded and said.
"Senior Brother Chunyang, is there anyone powerful in Hongwu County who can protect us?"
Chang Ming asked.
He remembered that Uncle Qingshan had said that there was Master Nanfa in Jialing County who could protect them.
But what if they go to Hongwu County, there is no major repair in Hongwu County, and the monks from Skull Mountain enter Hongwu County to hunt them down, what should they do?
"Hongwu County is the holy land of martial arts in the Zhou Dynasty, and the county is called the Wudu."
"Among the three great masters of martial arts in the Zhou Dynasty, there was one in Hongwu County. His name was Yang Qingdi. He was very good at swordsmanship, spears, swords, halberds, clubs, fists, palms, legs, claws, and fingers."
"He was promoted to a martial arts master through his horizontal training in kung fu, and then became a martial arts grand master. Many aristocratic children of the Zhou Dynasty came to study kung fu under his sect."
"The great master of martial arts is comparable to the monks in the Visualization Realm, and this person opened the Sacred Heart Martial Arts School. All the three religions and nine schools respect him, and the officialdom also relies heavily on him. Warriors all over the world regard him as their ancestor."
"There are countless warriors in Hongwu County. The warriors attract the attention of left-behind monks and demons more than ordinary people."
"But I have never heard of any monsters who dare to kill warriors in Hongwu County. This shows that this person is not simple!"
"We don't know what kind of strength the martial arts masters have. Some martial arts masters are just barely comparable to the monks in the Visualization Realm, but there are also examples of martial arts masters killing monks in the Happy Realm."
"So Venerable Liusha may not dare to enter Wudu directly and stir up the majesty of Emperor Yang Qing!"
"And our trip to Hongwu County is just a temporary measure. Once we escape the pursuit, we can transfer from Hongwu County to other places, or even go west from Hongwu County into Jialing County."
Jiang Chen explained.
The martial arts training system is a very magical thing. If you practice to the extreme, you can break the void, soar in the daytime, and become a martial immortal.
Moreover, the Wuxian is so powerful that in terms of attack, only the Sword Immortal can rival him, but the Wuxian is much physically stronger than the Sword Immortal.
But those who become immortals through martial arts are so rare that they are almost invisible!
A great master of martial arts is almost the limit of a warrior!
Therefore, the martial arts grand master is a watershed. The weaker martial arts grand master is comparable to the visualization realm among monks, but the powerful grand master kills the visualization realm like butchering a dog, and even kills the happy realm like butchering a dog!
There was once a supreme great master who died together with a quasi-immortal who was about to achieve enlightenment and ascend in the realm of a great master!
Jiang Chen doesn't know how strong this great master named Yang Qingdi is, but I hope he can compete with Master Liusha!
Also, Jiang Chen believes that warriors are more reliable than monks.
Martial arts killing relies on blood and bravery, and the most disdainful of those evil heretics. Once the Zuo Dao monks from Skull Mountain dare to enter the territory of Hongwu County, those warriors may take the initiative to kill them without the words of Emperor Yang Qing!
Hearing what Jiang Chen said, Changli and the other three no longer hesitated.
"Everything depends on my senior brother (junior brother)!"
The three of them looked at each other and then said in unison.
After making up their mind, Jiang Chen and the others changed direction and headed northeast. As a result, the number of enemies encountered on the road immediately decreased a lot.
Jiang Chen killed a few more people on the way, and everyone changed into their clothes and headed straight to Hongwu County.
…………
Skull Mountain.
"waste!"
"A bunch of trash!"
"I killed so many people and robbed so many things, but in the end I still couldn't find the Guiyuan Dao Map!"
"How many of the eighteen disciples who were escorted away from Qingyang Dao Palace are left?"
Venerable Liusha was furious and asked sternly.
Taoist Yin Yue, who had just successfully transformed, stood at the bottom without saying a word. He was almost beaten to death by Qing Yunzi. Now he has just been transformed from blood crow into human form. Although his realm is still there, his cultivation has been shaved off.
Most of the time, he is not even as good as a Qi Refining Dzogchen monk.
If it weren't for the fact that he was still useful and could regain his original strength after a long period of recuperation, Lord Liusha would have killed him long ago!
The person who came to report said tremblingly
"Master Qi, there should be four people left!"
"There are four people left?"
"Where are they now?"
"Hurry up and send someone to arrest the four of them. I will torture them severely!"
"Remember, catch them alive!"
"Before, I underestimated the determination of these bull-nosed people. If I really killed all of them, the Guiyuan Dao Diagram might really be completely lost."
"Fortunately, there are four people left. Remember not to hurt the lives of these four people!"
"Of course, it's okay to kill one or two of the stubborn resisters. I need a living witness for me to use the Soul Searching **!"
Venerable Liusha spoke up.
"Honorable Sir, judging from the route they traveled in the past few days, they should want to go to Jialing County and seek shelter at Nanwu Temple. However, we set up many checkpoints on the only way to Jialing County, but we did not encounter anyone.
!”
"So the people below suspect that they did not go to Jialing County at all, but where exactly they went needs further verification!"
"But the last time they were seen was in the Nanjia Mountains. The Nanjia Mountains are the border area between Jialing County, Hongwu County and Nanjun County. They either returned to Nanjun County or went to Hongwu County!"
"Now Nan County is full of our people. If they really come back, it shouldn't be difficult to find them. But if they really arrive in Hongwu County, what should we do?"
The person who came to report asked cautiously.
"Hongwu County?"
"The holy land of martial arts in the Zhou Dynasty, the warriors there are really rare delicacies!"
"Pity!"
"Emperor Yang Qing!"
"With him in charge of Hongwu County, no matter who commits mass killings in Hongwu County, he must still weigh them carefully."
"But he thinks very highly of himself and hates monks, so people from Qingyang Taoist Palace won't get much good results if they go to Hongwu County."
"But we still shouldn't have a direct conflict with him!"
"Okay, go tell Chi Tong and ask him to go to Hongwu County for me. If those four brats are really in Hongwu County, then bring them back, but be sure not to have a head-on conflict with the people from the Sacred Heart Martial Arts Hall.
!”
Lord Liusha thought for a while and then said.
"yes!"
"My subordinates resign!"
The person who came to report bowed before quietly retreating.
