The expressions of the yellow-skinned young man and the black-robed female cultivator who were being hunted changed instantly.
"We, brother and sister, were passing by Wu Qi Mountain and were planning to purchase some supplies on the way. Is Wu Qi Shan just refusing to help, sitting back and watching Jie Xiu do evil, and turning away guests?"
The yellow-skinned young man looked sad and angry, and shouted angrily.
Lu Changan and the other three ignored his questions and each offered a top-quality magical weapon to prevent the brother and sister from breaking into Wuqi Mountain.
"How can anyone come here to do shopping at night and have a fierce fight with others in the mountains and forests? I, Wu Qishan, only receive normal guests and do not participate in external grudges."
Lu Changan said calmly.
He and Ye Fei each controlled a second-level, mid- to low-level puppet.
With such a lineup and playing at home, there is no need to be afraid even if the five players on the opposite side are in a group.
"The three peak masters are smart people. We will remember this kindness."
The leader in the black gauze hat who was chasing the three men let out a hoarse chuckle.
The two yellow-skinned young men who were being hunted had no choice but to run around the edge of Wuqi Mountain and escape to the other side.
In this way, we have taken a detour.
He was quickly pursued and intercepted by three people in black gauze and bamboo hats.
After a quick fight, the two yellow-skinned young men’s magic weapons were damaged, their auras dimmed, and their bodies were stained.
"Brother, since you can't escape, fight them!"
The injured female nun in black robe clenched her silver teeth, her cold face looked bleak and despairing.
"Little sister, run quickly! I will hold them back!"
The yellow-skinned young man used a secret technique, purple-blue blood lines appeared on his face, and his mana surged, approaching the late stage of foundation building.
He pushed the black-robed female cultivator away and attacked the three men in black gauze and bamboo hats alone.
"Haha, the dog jumped over the wall in a hurry."
The mana fluctuations of the leader in the black gauze hat increased sharply, from the middle stage of foundation building to the late stage.
"You actually hid your cultivation..."
Three against one, the yellow-skinned young man was quickly knocked down and cut into several pieces.
See this scene.
The three peak masters of Wuqi Mountain were slightly startled.
From this, it can be concluded that the two foundation-building monks are not the same group.
Shi Manrong and Lu Changan looked at each other, slightly unbearable, and stopped talking.
"elder brother!"
The black-robed female cultivator, who had escaped for some distance, was heartbroken, with two lines of tears falling from her beautiful face.
"That female cultivator is quite pretty. Capture her alive as soon as possible and sell her for a big price afterwards..."
The leader in black gauze and bamboo hat looked at Wu Qishan and the three of them with caution.
For the later stage of foundation building, he took the lead and let his two subordinates chase after him.
"Wu Qishan! Sooner or later, you will suffer the consequences -"
The black-robed female cultivator not only hated the three robbery cultivators, but also had great resentment towards the three peak masters of Wuqi Mountain.
She glanced coldly with her pretty eyes, remembering the indifferent faces of Lu Changan and the others who refused to save him.
Lu Changan frowned slightly and slightly.
However, with the speed of the black-robed female cultivator, she could not escape the pursuit of the three robbery cultivators, especially the leader in the late stage of foundation building.
Suddenly, there was a sound of breaking through the sky from the southeast.
A ray of red light flew from between the clouds in the night sky.
"withdraw!"
The leader in the black gauze hat took one look, his expression changed drastically, and without thinking, he stopped his two men and retreated quickly.
Just as he was about to catch up with the black-robed female cultivator, he gave up.
…
"A monk from Lihuo Palace?"
The three peak masters of Wuqi Mountain looked at the red iron boat flying in the distance and couldn't help but be surprised.
It was a flying magic weapon exclusive to the Lihuo Palace. On both sides of the boat, there was a flame pattern composed of water droplets and small flames, which formed a light swirl in flight.
There are four foundation-building monks on the flying boat.
The leader of the later stage of foundation building is a man in a blue shirt with an elegant temperament and a refreshing face.
"Song Wenshu?"
Lu Changan recognized this person.
During the beast tide many years ago, Song Wenshu accompanied the "Red Pine Master" from the Lihuo Palace to solve the case, arrest the murderer of the massacre in Fox Valley, and met Lu Changan.
In the following years, Lu Changan only met this person once occasionally and had no friendship with them.
"Senior Brother Song, the escaped evil cultivator is suspected to be the 'Night Fisherman' who was wanted by several major sects."
On the orange flying boat, a bearded man in the middle stage of foundation building recognized the identity of the man in the black gauze and bamboo hat.
"A fisherman at night? This person likes to move at night, wears a bamboo hat, steals wealth and sex, and appears elusive..."
Song Wenshu immediately remembered the information about this wanted person, who was well-known in Liang Guo.
His most famous crime was that he sold several female cultivators from the sect to the black market for entertainment. Later, he was severely wanted by the sect and hid in hiding for ten or twenty years.
"The three of us are chasing you, and you are investigating at the scene."
Song Wenshu left the bearded man behind and led two of his companions to chase the fisherman in the dark night.
"Friend Lu Dao."
Before leaving, Song Wenshu and Lu Changan looked at each other from afar and said hello briefly.
Lu Changan showed a hint of flattery and reminded:
"Fellow Daoist Song, be careful. The leader of the Tribulation Cultivator just now concealed his cultivation. It may not be simple."
The strength of sect monks is often better than that of monks of the same level outside.
Song Wenshu's background in Lihuo Palace was quite high, so as long as he didn't underestimate the enemy, he wouldn't overturn.
The bearded man who was left behind was also a monk from Lihuo Palace and a confidant of Song Wenshu. His name was Cao Yuan.
After the introduction between the two parties, Cao Yuan learned about the situation on site at Wuqi Mountain.
After examining the body of the yellow-skinned young man, Cao Yuan was thoughtful.
Glancing towards the direction where the black-robed female nun was escaping, she felt a little regretful.
"Fellow Daoist Cao, what are the identities of the two brothers and sisters who are being hunted?"
Lu Changan felt moved and asked.
"The two brothers and sisters, named Pei Wenkang and Pei Qiuyan, come from a failed immortal cultivating family. Previously, they bought a shop in the 'Liaoyuan Immortal City' at a high price and owed money. Due to poor management, they lost all their money..."
"A few days ago, two brothers and sisters of the Pei family went out to do shopping. They found that a small caravan was targeted by the robbers. They fought fiercely, and finally the robbers retreated. The two of them suddenly had evil thoughts, took advantage of the situation, and robbed the caravan that suffered heavy casualties.
.”
"However, the matter was exposed soon after, and the Pei brothers and sister could not survive in the Liaoyuan Fairy City and fled overnight."
After listening to Cao Yuan's narration, Lu Changan understood that the brother and sister were not real Jie cultivators.
Before doing business in the Liaoyuan Fairy City, I had always done my duty, and even enjoyed myself with others, without leaving any bad records.
Due to the loss of money in the operation, it coincided with the sect's expedition, the internal control declined, the public security was relatively chaotic, and a good opportunity for plunder was encountered, which resulted in a difference of ideas.
Cao Yuan speculated that the brother and sister picked peaches from Jie Xiu that day, and that the latter was probably a subordinate of the "Night Fisherman", so he was targeted, chased and killed, and fled to a nearby area.
One of the bases for his speculation is that "night fishermen" are good at tracking, and the prey they were targeted rarely escaped.
…
Half an hour later.
Song Wenshu led two foundation-building monks back to Wuqi Mountain and met up with Cao Yuan who stayed behind to investigate.
"Fellow Daoist Song, have you ever caught up with those three robbery cultivators?"
The three peak masters, Lu Changan, came forward to greet them.
"The fisherman in the night was quite cunning. He set up a cover along the road and escaped separately with his men. In the end, we only killed one of his men who was in the early stage of foundation building."
Song Wenshu sighed and said regretfully.
Lu Changan had expected this.
Although the Night Fisherman was famous for a while, he did not dare to fight to the death with the elite monks of Lihuo Palace.
It’s not just the difference in strength.
Even if you succeed by luck, killing the foundation-building monks with background in Lihuo Palace may attract the real attention of the senior officials of Lihuo Palace. By then, it will be difficult to move forward in the Liang Kingdom and there will be no escape.
Later, Song Wenshu learned that the Pei brothers and sisters who were hunted by Jie Xiu actually had criminal records in the Liaoyuan Fairy City area.
That's the territory of Lihuo Palace.
"Pei Qiuyan was seriously injured. There may be traces on the road. We will try to pursue him and capture him."
Song Wenshu was too lazy to do it himself and handed it over to Cao Yuan's three foundation-building men.
Late that night.
Song Wenshu was a guest at Xiaogui Peak in Wuqi Mountain and accepted a banquet hosted by three peak masters.
Lu Changan and the other three were naturally happy to make friends with the monks from Lihuo Palace.
Song Wenshu never looked down upon the three major craftsmen in Wu Qishan.
At that time, the mysterious robbery gang that committed the "Fox Valley Massacre" was more powerful and hidden than the "Night Fishermen".
In that battle, Song Wenshu had a deep memory. Lu Changan and Ye Fei showed great strength, and at the same time the weak defeated the strong.
Lu Changan, in particular, assisted Master Hongsong in killing the mysterious thief leader in the late stage of foundation building.
To this day, the identity of the mysterious thief leader is still a mystery.
…
Early next morning.
Cao Yuan and the others returned with depressed expressions and met Song Wenshu.
"Didn't catch him?" Song Wenshu was surprised.
The target is just an injured female cultivator in the early stage of foundation building. Her escape speed is limited and she will probably leave traces.
They are all law enforcement monks from Lihuo Palace and are good at tracking.
"Senior Brother Song, the female cultivator left traces within hundreds of miles of escaping from Wu Qi Mountain. Then the clues were inexplicably interrupted and the trace was lost..."
Cao Yuan's face turned red and he lowered his head in shame.
Lu Changan's eyes flickered, paying attention to the details he said.
"That's all, just a small fish."
Song Wenshu sighed and did not force it.
"You made fellow Daoist Lu laugh."
"Brother Song, don't worry, that Pei Qiuyan is not a very evil person. Maybe God is kind enough to give her a chance to start a new life."
Lu Changan calmly comforted him.
After repeated defeats, Song Wenshu was in a bad mood and felt his face was dull, so he said goodbye.
Before leaving.
Lu Changan handed a brocade bag containing spiritual stones to Song Wenshu, who refused several times and reluctantly accepted it.
Euphemistically called hard work.
According to Lu Changan's understanding, Song Wenshu had an unusual background and did not participate in the war with neighboring countries. He was responsible for the security inspections in the hinterland of Liang State and around Lihuo Palace.
Wuqi Mountain is not far from the hinterland of Liang State, and is also considered to be on the edge of Song Wenshu's law enforcement inspection area.
Hundreds of miles away in Fox Valley is the Spirit Vein Dojo under the name of Lihuo Palace.
…
Half a day after the monk from Lihuo Palace left.
Xiaoguifeng Cave, underground secret room.
Squeak!
The rock rat emerged from the hidden entrance to the chamber.
Open your mouth and spit out a storage bag.
Another ultra-thin mask with no sense of existence came out.
Lu Changan opened the storage bag and took a look, his face was calm.
The value of the items in it is not as good as that of late-stage foundation-building monks.
Picked up the Hundred Fantasy Mask again.
I could smell a trace of residual blood and a faint feminine fragrance.
Although Pei Qiuyan is not a great evil person, he clearly hated the three peak masters of Wuqi Mountain before escaping.
Naturally, Lu Changan would not leave such hidden dangers.
An injured person in the early stage of foundation building faced a sneak attack from a late stage second stage rock rat and was killed in one blow without any suspense.
Looking at the Baihuan Mask in his hand, Lu Changan showed a trace of exploration.
This is the first time that Baihuan Mask acquires an identity by killing a target and devouring its essence, blood and soul.
He put on the mask, and a cold, strange aura blended into his skin without any hindrance.
In the blink of an eye.
A female cultivator in white with autumn eyes, ice-cold skin and cold temperament appeared in the secret room.
Squeak!
The Earth Rock Rat's eyes widened, the hair on his body exploded, and he grinned, staring at "Pei Qiuyan" who was killed by him not long ago.
"What a pity for such a beauty."
Lu Changan drew a water mirror with his fingers, looking at the icy beauty of the female cultivator. Her skin was as good as snow, her figure was graceful and graceful, and her long hair was as smooth as satin.
