The old sheepherder repeatedly held up his hands and said with a smile: "I've been bothered for so many days, so it's time to go. Besides, I've been out herding sheep for ten days this time. My family must be very worried, so I have to go back early."
Lin Zhao's eyes fell on the black cloth bag tied around his waist, and he smiled: "Actually, I have always had some questions in my mind, and I hope the old man can help me clarify them."
"ah?!"
The old sheep herder looked surprised: "How can I, an old sheep herder, solve the mountain owner's confusion?"
"grown ups?"
At this time, Gao Zhi's voice echoed in Lin Zhao's heart: "What's wrong?"
"Tong Yu was caught."
Lin Zhao said in a deep voice: "Set up the giant umbrella sword formation immediately!"
"yes!"
The next second, wisps of sword light rose along the foot of the mountain, and in the blink of an eye, the entire snowy Tianchi was enveloped in a golden sword array.
The corner of Zhao Chuqin's mouth twitched, and a sneer flashed at the corner of his mouth. He immediately put on a respectful smile and said: "If you have any questions, Lord Mountain, just ask, and I will try my best to answer them."
"Okay, first question."
Lin Zhao said lightly: "It is always cold near the snowy Tianchi, and there is not enough grassland to feed the sheep. However, old man, each of your sheep is quite fat. As far as I know, unless they are fed with special materials,
, otherwise the sheep in the Northern Territory will be very thin, old man, how did you let your sheep out?"
"It's like spring all year round in the mountains, how about the sheep eating well?" Zhao Chuqin began to feel cold in his heart.
Lin Zhao also laughed: "Then why are you herding sheep?"
Zhao Chuqin frowned. This young swordsman was not very advanced, but he was extremely difficult to deal with.
"second question."
Lin Zhao continued: "The old man is wearing a shabby robe, but why are his boots so clean? Moreover... these boots seem to be the boots of a monk on the mountain. Although they are a bit worn, the material can still be seen."
"you……"
Zhao Chuqin felt a chill in his heart. He couldn't help tearing up his face and said coldly: "Little thing, just this, I'm afraid it's not enough, right?"
"It's really not enough."
Lin Zhao said calmly: "I have been staring at you since the first day you appeared, observing every detail of you. Until I saw the look in your eyes towards Tong Yu, I became even more sure that you are not a good person.
, I still remember that when we were on the snowy Tianchi, there used to be a wild cultivator, and the way he looked at Xiao Jiu'er was exactly the same as the way you looked at Tong Yu!"
"Shua~~~"
A wisp of landscape spiritual energy surged behind the old man. It was Su Shanjun of the Eighth Realm who appeared. He frowned and looked at Lin Zhao: "Although I probably can't be of much help, I'm still willing to help you!"
"Um."
Lin Zhao nodded. At this time, dense clouds rolled above his head, and a figure descended on a flying sword. It was Han Buyu, a tenth-level sword cultivator who was a cloud master.
"Third shopkeeper, don't worry."
Han Buyu frowned: "Did Tong Yu be taken away by him?"
"Um."
Lin Zhaodao: "It's probably in the bag on his waist."
"OK!"
Su Shanjun looked murderous.
At this moment, a ray of sword light fell next to Lin Zhao, transforming into a gardenia. Behind him, ten bloody demon soul swords were pointed at Zhao Chuqin from a distance, and said in a cold voice: "Let Tong Yu go, but I will keep you alive."
"Just you guys?! Are you worthy?"
Zhao Chuqin laughed and suddenly took off the bag. The moment he threw it, Tong Yu's body rolled out of the bag. Lin Zhao and Gao Zhi hurriedly caught it. At this moment, Zhao Chuqin turned into a ray of light.
Rushing down the mountain, Su Shanjun and Han Buyu sent out swords at the same time, while Zhao Chuqin blocked them with their own magic. It is not difficult to block these two in the eleventh realm.
But just when Gao Zhi raised his finger, the ten demon soul swords turned into a coherent rainbow light and blasted towards his back. This was difficult to deal with. Even the great demon Fu Sheng of the Thirteenth Realm was against the ten demon soul swords.
The soul sword was quite fearful, not to mention the eleventh-level human spiritual cultivator in front of him. However, in an instant, Zhao Chuqin roared, and a jade flew up from the center of his eyebrows. It collided with ten demon soul swords and destroyed itself.
A natal object to withstand the attacking power of ten demon soul swords!
As a result, Zhao Chuqin's aura weakened a lot in an instant, but the ten demon soul swords were blown away by the jade pendant, and he could not attack again for a while. After all, he was a native of the eleventh realm, and it took some time to suppress the chaotic aura.
Liveable.
"Punch me!"
Muzhen's figure appeared in the air and punched Zhao Chuqin's back hard. The Qingliang Sect elder immediately groaned and vomited blood. However, he did not look back. A double dragon seal appeared in his hand, and he directly punched Zhao Chuqin in the back.
After crushing this magical weapon that had just been refined for the first time, the Double Dragon Seal made a loud noise, exploding a gap in the Mountain Guard Sword Formation, and he took advantage of the situation and ran away.
"Wait and see!"
Zhao Chuqin shouted coldly, burned a magic weapon again, and his body turned into a stream of light and headed south. In order to escape, he consumed another heavy treasure he carried with him.
"Asshole!"
Zhi Zhi jumped onto the flying sword in the air and was about to pursue him.
"杞栀!"
Lin Zhao shouted: "Don't chase!"
"grown ups……"
Zhi Zhi felt a little aggrieved. What a shame that man kidnapped Tong Yu in front of her eyes. Just because of this incident, she had failed Lin Zhao's trust. How could she raise her head in the future?!
Lin Zhao looked up at Zhi Zhi and supported Tong Yu with one arm.
At this time, Tong Yu had just been released from the bag. In fact, she could hear all the sounds and understood all the truth. For a moment, Tong Yu grabbed Lin Zhao's chest and skirt and buried her face in Lin Zhao's.
He cried loudly on the breastplate: "I'm sorry...Lin Zhao, I'm sorry...I was too stupid, I'm sorry..."
Lin Zhao was confused and couldn't understand at all. Why should she feel sorry for him? It was because he, the Lord of the Snowy Tianchi, failed to protect her well?
Tong Yu burst into tears, feeling extremely guilty. In front of him was this young swordsman who he had always felt was not a good person. He was the only one who noticed the sinister intentions of the old sheepherder. Without him, I am afraid he would have been kidnapped. This was not his first time.
He saved himself for the first time. In fact, when he was walking on the horse alley, he saved his own life.
"Okay, Tongyu."
Zhizhi helped Tongyu stand up, wiped her tears and said, "It's okay, it's okay."
"Um……"
Tong Yu still had lingering fears.
…
In the Shanjun Temple, everyone gathered in a circle.
Su Shanjun was in a state of wandering mind, his golden eyes emotionless. At this moment, a trace of his mind was already thousands of miles away. He was chatting with an eleventh-level mountain god for a moment. After that, his mind returned to his body, and his body swayed slightly.
"Have you found the source?" Lin Zhao said.
"Um."
Su Shanjun nodded and frowned: "The man's name is Zhao Chuqin. He comes from the Qingliang Sect, the first sect in the northern border of the human race. This Qingliang Sect is recorded in Dashang's Shanhai roster. Zhao Chuqin is one of the four elders of the Qingliang Sect.
He has recently practiced some very powerful sorcery, and he wants to capture Tong Yu, probably because he wants to use Tong Yu as a training furnace."
"Cauldron?"
Tong Yu opened his eyes wide, confused.
Zhi Zhi said calmly: "Cultivating his own little world, he treats you as a tool. If he succeeds in his cultivation, you may benefit a little in the end, but his lifespan and vitality will be greatly reduced."
Lin Zhaodao: "What is the origin of Qingliang Sect?"
Su Shanjun said: "For hundreds of years, the four northern tribes have dominated the northern border, and the human race's habitat has moved south. But for the monks on the mountain, the northern border has become no longer safe. The demon tribe has moved southward from the upper five realms, and the human race has been moved southward.
Sects have been uprooted one after another, and the Qingliang Sect is an anomaly. This sect has actually stood in the north for hundreds of years. Moreover, this sect has been passed down from generation to generation, and all of them are surnamed Zhao. The strength of the ancestor Zhao Jingyu is even more unfathomable."
Han Buyu said: "Third shopkeeper, stop your thoughts of revenge as soon as possible. The Qingliang Sect can stand in the north for hundreds of years without falling. Do you think it is as simple as just relying on one Zhao Jingyu?"
"I see."
Lin Zhao said lightly: "The Demon Clan didn't get rid of the Qingliang Sect even when they had an absolute advantage in strength, which shows that the Qingliang Sect is useful to the Demon Clan. If nothing else, there must be some connection between the Qingliang Sect and the Demon Clan."
"clever."
Su Shanjun said: "Everyone in the Qingliang Sect takes a different approach, and is no different from a wild cultivator. Now that the Snowy Tianchi is full of waste, don't provoke the Qingliang Sect anymore."
"Is this the end of Tong Yu's matter?"
Zhi Zhi frowned slightly: "If this is the case, anyone can step on the head of our snowy Tianchi and dominate."
"杞栀!"
Lin Zhao glanced back at her: "Be patient and obedient first."
"..."
Zhi Zhi pursed her red lips and stopped talking. Although she obeyed Lin Zhaoyan, when had the Left-handed Sword Immortal suffered such a loss in the past hundred years? A Qingliang Sect really turned everyone in the Snowy Tianchi into a
Became mute?
…
late at night.
There was a sound of "chi", accompanied by a flash of electric light, and a figure landed on a mountaintop far away from the snowy Tianchi. It was a man wearing a purple short shirt. He had the aura of a god. He was none other than the Rain Master.
Xue Yuan, the thunder master under Yue Ling, squinted his eyes and watched every move on the snowy Tianchi. A ten-level thunder master would not come to act as a spy, but there was no way. This was the order of Yue Ling, the rain master.
Xue Yuan frowned, trying his best to suppress his aura as low as possible, and inspected everyone on the snowy Tianchi. Finally, his eyes fell on the wooden house at the entrance of the town. It was the gatekeeper, who looked slovenly.
, Xue Yuan couldn't help but sneered when he saw that person. If he found such a person as a gatekeeper, Lin Zhao would really have no one to use.
"Um?"
The moment he sneered, his eyes flickered, and the sloppy man disappeared. When Xue Yuan rubbed his pale golden eyes and looked again, the man was already standing one meter away, with a strong killing intent all over his body.
Breathing, with a playful look in his eyes, he said with a smile: "Have you seen enough, Master Lei?"
"ah?!"
Xue Yuan's blood was horrified: "You... who are you? How could... how could it be possible?"
The sloppy man sneered: "Why did I come to you suddenly? Because I am a high-level person, idiot!"
"..."
The moment the opponent stepped closer, Xue Yuan felt that the Tianling Cap was going to explode, and his golden body could hardly bear the opponent's majestic murderous aura.
…
South of town.
A one-armed woman slowly descended the mountain. When she reached the bottom of the mountain, she quietly raised her sword and turned into a rainbow of light and headed south.
