To be precise, Chen Yunsheng didn't know what was blocking him this time. He only heard a clear sound of metal collision. When he wanted to pursue him again, the hooded assassin had already disappeared. , comes and goes like wind, and strikes like lightning.
Liu Xiaoshan raised his hand and put away a piece of Bagua Fish. It was obvious that this treasure had killed Chen Yunsheng just once. Even if he didn't die with the sword, he would still be red.
People were rushing into the city, but no one paid attention to the harsh metal sound. There was enough noise around, and people became numb.
"Can you see clearly that person's cultivation level?" Chen Yunsheng asked. For a monk, appearance is not as important as his cultivation level.
Liu Xiaoshan shook his head and said angrily: "I didn't even react as fast as you just now."
"Then what happened to the gossip fish just now?"
"This is called the Hunyuan Qi Mirror, which is related to the Qi machine and can automatically sense the dangers around it and protect the owner." Liu Xiaoshan explained.
Although Chen Yunsheng is proficient in formations and has some knowledge of weapon refining, he does not carry many magic weapons with him. In this regard, he is deeply practicing the style of his teacher Fei Yunzi.
"It's not a good place to stay here for a long time. Let's find a place to settle down first."[
After the two entered the city, they randomly found an inn. In front of the counter, the innkeeper looked at Chen Yunsheng carefully with his triangular eyes open. He pointed to the sign behind him and said: "This is the Yunpeng Inn, and they receive spiritual stones. I don't know, sir." Can you afford the room fee of ten spiritual stones a day?"
Liu Xiaoshan didn't wait for Chen Yunsheng to speak, and took out a middle-grade spiritual stone the size of a child's fist from Naxu Ring, and said: "Give me the best one, and don't disturb it without my instructions."
A medium-grade spiritual stone can last for five days. The shopkeeper put on a special glove and put the spiritual stone in the counter. He was an ordinary person and could not bear the corrosion of the spiritual stone. When he saw the spiritual stone, his eyes sparkled. Light, what a great irony.
When they arrived in the room, the two of them checked whether there were any restrictions around them. After checking, they sat down with confidence. Chen Yunsheng took the lead and said: "I feel that the person who assassinated us had a premeditated plan and the method was very special. It seemed that he had been prepared for it. Our whereabouts have been exposed."
Liu Xiaoshan said: "When we left Taibai Peak, everyone knew it, and it was normal for our whereabouts to be exposed. However, the other party followed us all the way and did not take action until we arrived at Xu Fugang. This shows how serious their intentions are."
"Their purpose is to kill me. Could it be that they are the remnants of Tingfeng Valley?" He thought as he came forward. The sun had already set in the west, releasing the last embers in the western sky, and the sky was full of red clouds.
"You have offended a lot of people. Xiliang Kingdom, Shura Sect, Yinsha and several sects in Tianqiong Mountains. Even Lengyue Kingdom may not like you. It is precisely because of the intervention of Longchuan and Tianqiong Sect that they completely The opportunity to occupy Xiliang Kingdom was lost." Liu Xiaoshan understood what Chen Yunsheng had done over the years from his description, and his analysis was very clear.
Chen Yunsheng smiled bitterly and thought to himself that the enmity with the Hidden Moon Sect and the Earth Fire Sect was all due to Jinsha's reinforcements. If his hometown had not been confiscated, the Tianqiong Sect and these two sects would at least be on the same page.
The two of them speculated for a while, but had no clue as to how to practice meditation. Chen Yunsheng practiced the Great Zhoutian Golden Spirit Qi Gathering Technique. This technique has now broken through the ninth level and is moving towards perfection. The Great Zhoutian Five Elements Qi Gathering Technique has ten This level is only suitable for cultivating by monks below the realm of earthly immortals. Thinking that he will soon practice another kind of technique in the near future, Chen Yunsheng is reluctant to let go of the Great Zhoutian Five Elements Qi Gathering Technique. After all, this technique will accompany him all the way. A long time has passed.
On the branch under the moon, Chen Yunsheng suddenly felt upset. He released his spiritual thoughts and felt that there was silence all around. Liu Xiaoshan's breathing was even, and it was obvious that he had entered the state of observing the mind. He thought carefully about the Beigong Qianyi who seemed to be somewhere during the day.
My opponent, Xiaoshan's analysis was right, that person really didn't want to be a playboy.
Was the assassin sent by him?
A bold idea kept tumbling in Chen Yunsheng's mind. After thinking for a while, he rejected this incredible idea, why would a stranger take action against him. Just when he was struggling repeatedly, a silver needle
Suddenly passed through the crystal and pierced the thick wooden pillar beside him.
When Chen Yunsheng opened the door and jumped to the roof, the man who threw the needle had already disappeared. Under the low wall in the distance, he found a corpse with a sword in the neck and the blood had flowed clean. He picked it up and picked it up.
The corpse jumped back into the house, closed the door, and saw Liu Xiaoshan staring at a note in a daze.
"Someone invited us to Jixiang Pavilion."
Chen Yunsheng walked to the table and saw the writing on the note, "At sunset tomorrow night, there will be a grudge in Jixiang Pavilion." [
"Are we going tomorrow?" Liu Xiaoshan looked at Chen Yunsheng.
After thinking for a long time, Chen Yunsheng said: "Go. The person who shot the needle today may not be our enemy. If he is, then tonight is the best time to take action, and there is no need to wait until tomorrow. He said that Jixiang Pavilion has settled the grudge, so this
The grudge is not necessarily related to him. Maybe, maybe he wants to help us."
"Hey, this person seems to be the person who wants to assassinate us today." Liu Xiaoshan pointed at the corpse and said.
Chen Yunsheng saw the corpse dressed in black clothes. He looked to be about thirty years old. He probed the corpse's veins with his fingers. From the breadth and thickness of the corpse's meridians, he could roughly judge that this person was in the middle stage of foundation building.
of cultivation.
"The assassin is proficient in the art of concealment. It seems that he is a monk who has been engaged in assassinations all year round. Speaking of assassin organizations, I know one, the Dark Crow of the East China Sea, where Yu Chixue came from." Chen Yunsheng said while saying
Turn the body over and expose the wounds.
"The thing that stabbed him to death was a thin sword. Does anyone you know use such a magic weapon?" Liu Xiaoshan asked.
Chen Yunsheng pondered for a while and said: "There is a cold sword in the shadow, but it will leave white frost after attacking the opponent. If it is Canglan Guard, then it is impossible for me to not have telepathy. In addition, Yuchixue
I'd rather use a rapier."
"If the person who shot the needle and killed the person just now is the same person, this person must be our friend. If it is Yuchixue, why didn't he show up directly and explain the situation?" Liu Xiaoshan analyzed it carefully. She had lived in the palace since she was a child.
, except for those years when I and Chen Yunsheng wandered in the so-called world of mortals for several years, I had no other opportunities, so I was quite interested in this kind of thrilling journey.
After careful analysis, Chen Yunsheng said slowly: "If we are the target of assassination, he will become one of the targets if he mixes with us. Only by hiding elsewhere can we understand the assassin's intention."
Liu Xiaoshan nodded in agreement and said excitedly: "Things are getting more and more interesting."
Chen Yunsheng sighed and said: "This journey may be so crazy that none of us can bear it."
After all this trouble, Chen Yunsheng had to set up a simple four-image defensive array in the room. The array flags and array stakes were ready-made, so it didn't take long to complete. After setting up the array, the two of them lay down together in their clothes.
, in addition to practicing, practitioners also need to rest. Practicing instead of rest can only work at a specific time and a specific place. For example, during a specific period of a certain exercise. For many exercises, the practice itself does not
It is not an easy task and requires rest to replenish energy.
Looking at Liu Xiaoshan who was gradually sleeping next to him, Chen Yunsheng's heart was filled with happiness. He thanked God for giving him such an almost perfect love and would use his own life to protect this woman.
Early the next morning, Chen Yunsheng withdrew the magic circle and went out with Liu Xiaoshan to look for a fleet that could take them out to sea. The Sea of Annihilation became colder as it went north. Even the monks who could reach the sky and escape from the earth were on the sea.
It is also easy to get lost. Chen Yunsheng gave up the idea of going to sea in a cloud boat very early. Why take risks alone when things can be done with spiritual stones.
After asking several fleets that make a living by going to sea, people shook their heads when they heard that they wanted to cross the Sea of Annihilation to Zhizhou. Most of the reasons for refusal were that the time was wrong. Usually, summer is the period of high frequency of fleet activities.
.At this time, late autumn has arrived, and the small fleet only dares to operate within three thousand miles of the North Sea.
Just when the two were about to despair, a crew member from the fleet gave them a clue, "Why don't you go to the North Sea Shipping Alliance and ask."
"Beihai Shipping Alliance?" Chen Yunsheng heard this name for the first time.
"The Beihai Shipping Union is the largest guild in Xufu Port, controlling more than 80% of the sea routes and business. Our small fleet can only accept some odd jobs, or subcontract some shipping business from the shipping union. Even in the summer,
Only the shipping alliance dares to organize a fleet to cross the Sea of Annihilation." The man accepted the small piece of spiritual stone handed over by Liu Xiaoshan and explained with a smile on his face.
"The reason why you dare not cross the Sea of Annihilation is probably not just the cold, right?" Chen Yunsheng asked. For him, the biggest difficulty is how to identify the direction. Relying on the sun and stars alone is not enough. A slight mistake can lead to thousands of miles.
.
The clerk smiled mysteriously and said: "To be honest, with the spiritual stones to earn, the cold is not a problem. We are all people who have been wandering at sea for a long time, and we can identify the direction by our sense of smell. In addition to the cold, the Sea of Nirvana
There is a terrifying sea beast in the depths of the sea. Its name is ominous, so I won’t mention it. Only ships of the North Sea Shipping League can safely cross the Sea of Annihilation."
"Why is this happening?" Chen Yunsheng asked.
"There is no answer. As long as the ships that are not from the Ship Alliance want to cross the thunder pool, they usually have to go back. No living person has ever seen that kind of sea monster. Even the monks with advanced cultivation are the same. There once was a twenty-eight-year-old
The Immortal of Pinnacle led the fleet across the sea and never returned. Calculated, it has been more than 20 years. The shipping alliance’s own explanation is that they have a ship called the Trident, which can fly very high in the sky.
It can also dive into extremely deep water. It is this kind of boat that ensures the safety of those who go out to sea. But I don't believe it. There must be a master hidden in the boat alliance who can scare the sea monsters." The guy clucked his mouth like pouring beans.
