A spirit monster fell to the ground, its body twitched, and in the blink of an eye it was dead.
Xie Jingsheng withdrew his sword and looked around, finding that the remaining monsters had also been eliminated by others.
"Thank you, senior brother, how far do we have to go to our destination?" a disciple from the lower courtyard asked, wiping his sweat.
Xie Jingsheng was already familiar with the map, so he replied without thinking: "There are still more than thirty miles, and we can reach it in two hours at most."
In fact, if there weren't so many monsters along the way that they had to stop and deal with them from time to time, they would have reached their destination long ago.
Fortunately, tomorrow is the day when the spiritual acupoint is opened, so there is still plenty of time.
only
Thinking of Lin Shen, who still had no news, Xie Jingsheng couldn't help but sigh.
Peng Junqin, who was not far away, saw Xie Jingsheng's actions in his eyes and sneered in his heart.
To be honest, he didn't know Lin Shen.
Although he met everyone in the Taoist Academy before entering the spiritual cave, he never paid attention to such a person.
It wasn't until he met everyone and learned that Lin Shen had saved them that he was shocked and started to feel jealous of Lin Shen.
People are afraid of comparison.
Lin Shen descended from the sky at the moment of crisis and turned the tide to save everyone, which formed a particularly sharp contrast with Peng Junqin's behavior of escaping from the battle.
While everyone was not ashamed of Peng Junqin, they also greatly praised Lin Shen.
Peng Junqin was not an open-minded person, and he had already secretly resented Lin Shen deep down in his heart.
Thinking that the boy had probably been transformed into a blood by Jiang Wanying, he felt particularly happy, and he felt more and more that his original decision was correct.
If he hadn't run away decisively when the opportunity came his way, he would have followed in Lin Shen's footsteps, and how could he have survived?
"Sacrifice your life for righteousness? Bah, your life is gone, and you still want to get such shitty righteousness!" Peng Junqin secretly sneered in his heart.
After taking a short rest, everyone continued to rush towards their destination.
Among the crowd, Ai Jingting sighed worriedly and tightened the talisman in her palm.
Although she knew very well that Lin Shen had not shown up for so many days, and it was likely that something bad was going to happen, she still kept in mind what might happen. She had been holding the talisman close to her body these days, hoping that the talisman would be able to sense something.
It's a pity that she was disappointed in the end.
Along the way, Fu Ling remained unresponsive.
Sighing deeply again, Ai Jingting gathered her mood and followed the team.
But at this moment, the talisman in the palm suddenly trembled slightly, and a touch of feeling came from it.
Ai Jingting was stunned for a moment, then she woke up from a dream and let out a low cry, with a look of great surprise on her face.
Everyone turned around when they heard the sound.
Xie Jingsheng thought something had happened, and asked hurriedly: "Junior sister Ai, did you notice something strange?"
"Fu Ling is feeling something!" Ai Jingting said in surprise.
Xie Jingsheng was stunned for a moment, then quickly took out the talisman.
After concentrating on the induction, he also had a look of surprise on his face.
The talisman only contains the Qi energy of Taoist disciples, and only the Taoist disciples can be sensed by the talisman.
Except for those present, all the fourteen Taoist disciples who entered the spiritual cave had died in battle. The only exception was Lin Shen, whose life or death was uncertain.
In other words, Lin Shen is the only one who can sense the talisman now!
"Junior brother Lin is still alive!" Xie Jingsheng couldn't help but be happy.
The rest of the people also reacted at this time, whether they were Taoist disciples or a few inner disciples, they all showed extremely joyful smiles.
Only Peng Junqin's face suddenly darkened, and he gritted his teeth secretly.
Is that boy so lucky?
Can you save your life against Jiang Wanying?
You must know that he was able to escape from Jiang Wanying because he used an extremely precious treasure as a trump card, and he suffered from this for a long time.
How can Lin Shen, a disciple of the Upper Academy, get rid of Jiang Wanying?
Peng Junqin was puzzled, surprised and secretly resentful.
However, no one cared about Peng Junqin at this time. After discovering that Lin Shen was still alive, Xie Jingsheng turned back decisively and led everyone towards the direction of Fu Ling's induction.
About half an hour later, a stream of clouds suddenly appeared in the distant sky in their field of vision, flying towards them.
As they got closer, everyone could clearly see that it was actually a lifelike shadow of a cloud dragon with its head raised and tail wagging.
And the one surrounded by the phantom of Yunlong was undoubtedly Lin Shen!
"It's indeed Junior Brother Lin!"
Xie Jingsheng breathed a sigh of relief.
Also relieved was Ai Jingting.
The girl's mind relaxed, and her face burst into a smile of joy from the bottom of her heart.
After a moment, Lin Shen landed leisurely, dissipating the shadow of Yunlong, looking at everyone, smiling and nodding.
"Thank you, senior brother, and everyone. I feel relieved to see that you are safe and sound."
Xie Jingsheng walked forward with a smile on his face, and when he was about to speak, he suddenly paused, looked him up and down, and his eyes suddenly lit up.
"Junior brother Lin, could it be that you have forged a spiritual vein?"
Everyone was startled, and then they took a closer look at Lin Shenlai. Sure enough, they found that the latter's energy was getting stronger and stronger, and he had a faint trace of spirituality, which was a sign of the initial formation of spiritual veins!
Facing everyone's surprised gazes, Lin Shen did not hide anything, and said with a smile: "I was lucky enough to gain something these days, and I was able to forge a spiritual vein, so I delayed it for some time, and it was only now that I came to join you, Senior Brother Xie."
Although they had already speculated, everyone present couldn't help but be amazed and envious when they heard Lin Shen admit it personally.
Forging spiritual veins is what all Mingqiao practitioners dream of.
The formation of the first spiritual vein means that one foot has entered the realm of monks!
Although the most critical thing is whether you can also step into the realm of a monk with one foot left, but no matter what, if you can take this step, you are already far ahead of countless practitioners of Mingqiao.
What's more, Lin Shentian is a genius and has already achieved such achievements at a young age. There is no doubt that he will be promoted to a monk.
Once you take this step, the remaining step is just a matter of time!
Thinking of this, everyone couldn't help but marvel even more.
Peng Junqin, who was at the back of the crowd, looked extremely pale and his eyes were filled with jealousy.
He never expected that Lin Shen would not only survive, but also be able to forge his spiritual veins.
You must know that even he has not yet completely stabilized the ninth level of Mingqiao, and there is still a long way to go before he can create his spiritual veins.
Lin Shen's experience made him uncontrollably jealous.
Forged by spiritual veins, Lin Shen's strength increased to a higher level, and his perception became more acute. He immediately noticed the malicious gaze coming from behind the crowd, and immediately turned his head to look, and met Peng Junqin's gaze.
Peng Junqin was startled and looked away guiltily. But even if he came to his senses, why would he be afraid of Lin Shen?
Then he turned his head again and stared at Lin Shen without flinching.
Seeing this, Lin Shen smiled inwardly, ignored the clown, and turned to ask Xie Jingsheng about what happened these days.
After listening, Lin Shen couldn't help but fell into deep thought.
Judging from Jiang Wanying's words before his death, the Blood Sea Sect may still have some backup plans in the spiritual cave.
However, neither he nor Xie Jingsheng and others have met any other Blood Sea Sect disciples these days.
Lin Shen didn't think it was because the people of the Blood Sea Sect had backed down. It was more likely that the matter planned by the Blood Sea Sect had reached a critical point and they couldn't spare any manpower to deal with them.
And after Lin Shen thought about it, the reason why the Blood Sea Sect spent so much time and effort, even at the expense of chasing them down, was only for the sake of the spiritual cave itself.
In other words, the Blood Sea Sect aims to monopolize the spiritual acupoint.
To do this, the first step is to seal the entrance and exit of the spiritual cave so that the Jiuyang Sect cannot enter.
If this were the case, the entrance and exit of the spiritual cave would have been heavily surrounded by the Blood Sea Sect.
If they continue to move forward, they are like a sheep entering a tiger's mouth, and they will take the initiative to show it to you!
Thinking of this, Lin Shen's heart sank slightly.
Seeing Lin Shen's serious expression after listening to his words, Xie Jingsheng was confused and quickly asked what happened.
Lin Shen then combined Jiang Wanying's words with his own guess.
After hearing this, everyone present changed their expressions.
Based on various previous experiences, Lin Shen's guess is likely to be the truth.
Putting themselves in their shoes, if they were members of the Blood Sea Sect, if they accidentally discovered a spiritual cave and there were disciples from their rival sect inside, the first thing they would do would undoubtedly be to kill them.
Kill all the people from the rival sect, then block the entrance and exit, and monopolize the spiritual cave.
"So, wouldn't it mean that we have become turtles in a urn, unable to leave the spiritual cave." A disciple from the lower courtyard said with a pale face.
The faces of the rest of the people were also extremely ugly.
Lin Shen thought for a while and said in a deep voice: "That's not necessarily the case."
Seeing everyone turning their heads to look at each other, Lin Shen thought about it and said calmly:
"When we entered the spiritual acupoint, it was very smooth and we did not encounter any obstacles. This means that the Blood Sea Sect had not yet begun to seal the acupoints at that time. In other words, it should not have been long before they discovered this spiritual acupoint!"
Hearing this, Xie Jingsheng's eyes lit up, he nodded with deep approval, and said happily:
"That's right! It is not easy to seal the spiritual acupoints. In such a short period of time, the Blood Sea Sect will definitely not be able to mobilize enough manpower and material resources to completely seal the spiritual acupoints. I guess they mostly temporarily sealed the acupoints using formations and other means.
Eyes, stop people from outside from coming in!"
"When the spiritual cave opens tomorrow and the sect sees that we haven't gone out for a long time, they will soon find something is wrong. At that time, the sect will definitely open the spiritual cave forcibly and send people in to investigate. At that time, we only need to take the opportunity to launch an attack and cooperate with the sect internally and externally.
, maybe there is no chance to break out of the spiritual cave!"
Xie Jingsheng's words rekindled everyone's hope.
Although everyone understands that the Blood Sea Sect must have set up a dragnet at the acupoints, trying to break out with just their few hands is tantamount to a narrow escape!
But after all, there is still a 'life', which is better than no hope at all!
"In any case, this is just our guess after all. Maybe the Blood Sea Sect didn't have time to seal the acupoint at all." Lin Shen said with a faint smile.
Although they knew that Lin Shen's words were just for comfort, everyone's expressions still relaxed a little.
In any case, there's no point worrying now. You'll know when you get to the cave tomorrow.
At this moment, Xie Jingsheng suddenly remembered something and asked: "Junior brother Lin, where is Jiang Wanying? Have you met him these days?"
Lin Shen was startled for a moment, then suddenly realized that he dared to pretend that Xie Jingsheng had escaped from Jiang Wanying, and immediately laughed and shook his head.
"Jiang Wanying is dead."
Xie Jingsheng was stunned and asked subconsciously: "How did you die?"
"I killed him." Lin Shen's tone was calm, as if he was talking about a very ordinary thing.
But when it fell on everyone's ears, it was no less than a thunderbolt from the blue, making their heads buzz.
Lin Shen killed Jiang Wanying?!
That Jiang Wanying who alone could make nearly twenty of them breathless?
Everyone, including Xie Jingsheng, was in disbelief.
If it weren't for Lin Shen who said this, someone would have jumped out to question it.
No, it should be said that there is still one person who doesn’t believe it at all.
In the deathly silence, a cold scoff suddenly sounded.
“Don’t be afraid of flashing your tongue when you talk big!”
Peng Junqin glanced sideways at Lin Shen and sneered disdainfully.
"Jiang Wanying is a master who has forged more than thirty spiritual veins. He also has a mysterious weapon in his hand and is almost invincible at the Mingqiao realm. How can you, a guy who has just forged one or two spiritual veins at most, kill him?"
"If you want to put gold on your face, this is not the way to do it!"
As soon as these words came out, Xie Jingsheng and Ai Jingting looked at Peng Junqin angrily.
Although they also had doubts about Lin Shen killing Jiang Wanying, they could not tolerate a villain like Peng Junqin slandering Lin Shen.
Xie Jing was angry and was about to scold him a few words, when her expression suddenly changed and she looked away.
At the same time, everyone also noticed the blood at the end of the sky in the distance.
Five streaks of scarlet blood were like meteors, flying towards this side at an astonishing speed.
That cold and cold aura that was similar to that of déjà vu undoubtedly indicated the identity of the visitor!
"They are the pursuers of the Blood Sea Sect!" Xie Jingsheng looked extremely ugly.
Just now, we were talking about the Blood Sea Sect's conspiracy, but we didn't expect that in the blink of an eye, there would be pursuers chasing after us.
Judging from the speed of those five bloody lights, even if the strength of the person coming was not as good as Jiang Wanying, there wouldn't be much difference. He was probably at the ninth level of Mingqiao.
Before everyone could recover from the panic, the five bloody lights had already approached from far away and landed in front of everyone.
The blood light dissipated, revealing the figures of five people, the leader of which was Shen Yan.
Looking at everyone, Shen Yan showed a cold smile on his face.
"Very good, it seems that the remaining disciples of Jiuyang Sect are all here. They can be solved together, saving us the trouble of searching everywhere!"
A disciple of the Blood Sea Sect next to him took over the conversation and laughed loudly: "Senior Brother Shen, I think there are many good prospects among these people. You should take it easy when you take action later. Don't destroy their Yuanling. I
We are currently lacking some materials for refining blood!"
The other three people also showed excited expressions when they heard this.
There are not many Yuanlings among Mingqiao realm practitioners. If they can get a few, they will be enough to refine some of the best blood, which will be of great benefit to their strength.
Unexpectedly, Shen Yan glanced at them sideways and said coldly: "Since these people can kill Jiang Wanying, their strength cannot be underestimated. If you still have a contemptuous attitude, you will follow in Jiang Wanying's footsteps later, but
Don’t blame me for not reminding you!”
As soon as these words came out, the smiles of the four Blood Sea Sect disciples immediately disappeared and their expressions became solemn.
Although they couldn't stand Jiang Wanying's usual arrogant behavior, they had to admit that Jiang Wanying was far more powerful than any of them.
One-on-one they are no match at all.
Two against one can barely hold on for a while.
Only three against one or even four against one can the outcome be evenly matched.
With the addition of Shen Yan, we can definitely beat Jiang Wanying!
Although I don’t know how the group of Jiuyang Sect in front of me killed Jiang Wanying, but since they can do it, it is enough to show that their strength is not weak, and they cannot be taken lightly!
Thinking of this, all four of them put away the contempt in their hearts.
Several Blood Sea Sect disciples were secretly warning themselves, but Xie Jingsheng and others all had strange looks on their faces.
Originally, they were particularly annoyed when they saw the five Blood Sea Sect disciples talking to each other as if no one was watching, treating themselves as easy prey in their words, but what they said next made them freeze in place.
Jiang Wanying. Is he really dead?
Everyone turned to look at Lin Shen in unison, feeling huge waves in their hearts.
Lin Shen really killed Jiang Wanying!
Peng Junqin was even more stunned and filled with shock.
Could it be that this kid didn't lie and that he really killed Jiang Wanying?
The small actions of the crowd quickly attracted Shen Yan's attention.
The latter's eyes followed theirs and fell on Lin Shen. After looking at him for a few times, his eyes narrowed slightly, and the cold light inside them flashed away.
"A practitioner of Mingqiao who has forged spiritual veins is quite interesting. No wonder Jiang Wanying died in your hands!"
Whether there is the ninth level of Mingqiao that forges the spiritual veins, the strength is completely two levels.
Even if you are just a Mingqiao practitioner who has forged a spiritual vein, your true energy will begin to transform, and you will gain more spirituality. This will bring about a sudden increase in strength.
Since there are such masters among this group of Jiuyang Sect disciples, it is not that surprising to join forces to kill Jiang Wanying.
Shen Yan pondered in his heart, but he didn't realize that the truth of the matter was completely different from what he had guessed.
Lin Shen had no intention of correcting the other party's words. He glanced directly at the five Blood Sea Sect disciples and quickly noticed the spiritual energy hidden in the five people.
These five people are all Mingqiao practitioners who have forged spiritual veins!
It's just that the number of spiritual veins created is far less than that of Jiang Wanying, at least the sense of threat given to him is far less than that of the latter.
"But since you have started to forge your spiritual veins, you may have a spiritual elixir in your body."
Shen Yan suddenly discovered that Lin Shen's eyes seemed to have changed when he looked at the five of them, as if he was looking at some kind of prey.
This look made him extremely uncomfortable, and he immediately snorted coldly and said in a cold voice:
"Do it! Kill these guys!"
After the words fell, five people, led by Shen Yan, sacrificed their magic weapons at the same time and rushed towards the people of Jiuyang Sect with murderous looks on their faces.
Seeing this, Xie Jingsheng and others changed their expressions one after another, and raised their weapons as if facing a formidable enemy, preparing to fight.
At the same time, Peng Junqin quietly took a few steps back, but he once again had the idea of escape, preparing to wait for everyone to break out into a fight and then take the opportunity to escape.
"These five people are obviously very powerful. It is impossible for useless people like Xie Jingsheng to be opponents. I will find a place to hide as soon as I leave here. The spiritual cave is of great importance. The sect will definitely not give up. Reinforcements will come sooner or later. , I will naturally be saved by then, and there is no need to accompany these idiots to death!"
Peng Junqin thought coldly in his heart. Out of the corner of his eye, he suddenly caught a glimpse of a figure flashing by. He turned around and looked, who could it be if it wasn't Lin Shen?
Among the crowds of people who were either standing still and waiting, or secretly retreating and waiting for an opportunity to escape, Lin Shen's head-on figure was so conspicuous that it immediately attracted everyone's attention.
Facing the five men from Shen Yan who were attacking fiercely, he stepped forward with a calm expression and stabbed out with his sword.
The powerful zhenqi instantly turned into a wave of heat and surged forward, as if there was a red glow flashing through the void!
A scorching red sun rose sharply, casting out thousands of feet of golden light, overwhelming the sky and the earth, and crushing the five Shen Yans!
At this moment, there was only a blood-red sunset left in everyone's field of vision, which was getting bigger and bigger, as if it was going to submerge and swallow up the entire world!
The sun shines over thousands of mountains and is not enough, causing the sky to fall together!
The Nine Swords of Shenyang in the True Martial Realm were revealed in front of others for the first time since the breakthrough!
