This rickety old man was as short as an eight or nine-year-old child. He was dressed in tatters and his clothes were knotted in knots. His old face was as wrinkled as an orange peel, giving people the impression that he was in his twilight years.
However, Jiang Chen did not dare to neglect.
Because the old man's appearance was so weird that with Jiang Chen's consciousness, he didn't notice how he got here. He didn't find out until he invaded his own territory.
When the rickety old man saw Jiang Chen walking towards him, he suddenly stretched out the crutch he was holding and his body swayed, but he floated hundreds of meters away.
Jiang Chen's expression changed and he swung his sleeves.
Hee hee hee hee
There were harsh sounds of airflow in the void, and the airflow rolled out of Jiang Chen's sleeves actually contained the power of Feiyu Mirror, which slowed down the flow of the void.
In the void, several thin and dense silver needles, as if they were transparent, were forced to stop seven or eight meters in front of Jiang Chen, suspended in the air.
Jiang Chen was furious, this old man unexpectedly attacked him
Seeing that this silver needle is so ghostly, it is obviously very poisonous. Moreover, this silver needle is transparent and cannot be seen by the naked eye. If it weren't for Jiang Chen's powerful spiritual consciousness and Fei Yujing's deceleration, I am afraid that he would have accidentally killed it.
You will suffer a big loss.
When Lin Yanyu saw the silver needle suspended in the air, his expression changed drastically: "Fellow Daoist Huang, be careful, this silver needle contains highly toxic substances."
Jiang Chen snorted coldly and stared at the direction of the rickety old man. The old man rolled and rolled in the grass, but disappeared like a gopher that could burrow into the ground.
Jiang Chen was angry, he clapped his big hand, and shot out a secret force, directly smashing these silver needles into pieces.
He was not afraid of the poison, but what he was afraid of was that if the silver needle hit his vitals, he would be caught off guard and suffer heavy losses.
However, he had no grievances against the other party, but he was about to kill him as soon as he made a move. Such a vicious move naturally aroused Jiang Chen's anger.
I checked around and found no clues except the noisy scene.
"What a cunning guy." Jiang Chen was secretly surprised. Under such circumstances, the other party could escape so easily. It was definitely not easy.
The people nearby were secretly shocked when they saw Jiang Chen being attacked. Originally, everyone here didn't have any intention of being on guard.
However, all of a sudden, the atmosphere became complicated.
Someone secretly attacked
As soon as this news came out, the entire peripheral monks became nervous.
I thought everyone could live in peace, but something like this happened.
On the contrary, the person involved, Jiang Chen, after a search with his spiritual consciousness found no clues, he sneered a few times and returned to his original position.
Huang'er also asked with concern: "Are you okay?"
"Hehe, shameless rat, it's not that easy to hurt me." Jiang Chen deliberately raised his voice and said, "He knows how to burrow into the ground, but luckily he escaped. Next time, I will definitely let him know what regret is."
Huang'er also knew Jiang Chen's abilities. It was really not easy to hurt him with ordinary poisonous needles.
Lin Yanyu's expression was a little complicated, but she still didn't leave. Instead, she sat closer to Jiang Chen and the others.
After this calamity, Jiang Chen also became more energetic.
However, the rickety old man never appeared again, as if he never appeared at the mouth of the valley at all.
"Is this you, Daoist friend Huang? My master has invited you."
Jiang Chen hadn't sat down for long when a young man in black robe suddenly appeared outside his territory and said cautiously.
"Who is your master?" Jiang Chen frowned.
"My tutor is King Shang Ping."
King Shang Ping? Jiang Chen frowned, the human territory was too big, Jiang Chen had not been to many places, and he did not know many people.
Who is this King Shang Ping?
Lin Yanyu hurriedly came over and whispered a few words in Jiang Chen's ear.
After Jiang Chen listened, he showed a meaningful smile and waved his hand: "Lead the way."
After saying that, he looked back at Huang'er.
Huang'er smiled lightly and said, "Go, I'm here."
Although Huang'er couldn't take action, Jiang Chen was still very aware of Huang'er's martial arts skills. Even a true disciple of a first-class sect like Cao Jin was easily defeated by Huang'er, so Jiang Chen really didn't have to worry about her.
"I'll go and come back." Jiang Chen said to Lin Yanyu again, "You stay here."
Lin Yanyu originally wanted to follow Jiang Chen. It wasn't that he had any intention of gossiping, but he was worried that Jiang Chen would suffer a loss. However, seeing Jiang Chen's unquestionable tone, he followed for two steps and stopped: "Fellow Daoist Huang, be careful, this place
It’s complicated when there are so many people.”
Jiang Chen waved his hand casually and followed the young man in black.
The young man in black didn't do anything wrong. He led Jiang Chen to an apricot forest on the left side of the valley entrance. As soon as he entered the forest, Jiang Chen immediately felt that the scene in front of him changed, and he entered a formation.
, forming a strange space of its own.
Even if people from outside walked into this apricot forest, they would never be able to find this formation space.
Jiang Chen did not stop and looked around, but found no murderous intent in this formation.
"We're here." Not far away, the young man in black led Jiang Chen to an open space. There were some large bluestones scattered across the open space, forming a scattered stone forest.
There are some people scattered everywhere in the stone forest.
Some of these people were working alone or in groups of three or two. Jiang Chen glanced at them and calculated that there were twelve groups of people in total.
"Haha, are you Daoist Huang?" In the middle of the stone forest, a man in rich brocade clothes suddenly walked out. He had a high crown and tied hair, and a short beard, giving him a kingly look.
"King Shang Ping?"
From Lin Yanyu's words, Jiang Chen knew that King Shang Ping was a vassal king in a certain territory. He was said to be a vassal king, but he was not very interested in gaining power, but he was very passionate about martial arts.
In the world of martial arts, he is somewhat famous.
"Haha, it's this king. You can't tell people by their appearance. You seem to be so arrogant, Daoyou Huang. Everyone thinks that Daoyou Huang is a brave and foolhardy man. It seems that everyone underestimates you." King Shang Ping seemed to be right.
Jiang Chen made a comment, but his tone had a strange meaning.
Jiang Chen smiled calmly: "What do you want to say?"
He was not interested in listening to the other party's nonsense. So many people invited him over, and they were definitely not talking about such nonsense.
"Just now, old man Feng Huan tried to test fellow Taoist. Fellow Taoist, you won't blame him, right?" King Shang Ping suddenly smiled at a cluster of stone forest.
Behind the stone forest, a figure suddenly flashed out, it was the old man who sneaked up on Jiang Chen.
The old man's eyes, which could barely be opened, suddenly shot out a cat-like look and gave Jiang Chen a strange smile.
"Your Excellency, don't hold grudges. I was entrusted by King Shang Ping to test fellow Taoists. If you want to hold grudges, go to him. It's none of my business." The old man immediately distanced himself from Yu Jingjing.
Jiang Chen frowned: "King Shang Ping, you and I are strangers to each other. It seems a bit unreasonable to test like this, right?" Jiang Chen's tone was obviously unhappy.
King Shang Ping smiled and said: "If my fellow Taoist knew my king's intentions, he would definitely not blame me. On the contrary, he might even want to thank me."
Jiang Chen sneered: "Thank you for sneak attack on me?"
"Fellow Taoist, a sneak attack on you is, from another perspective, a test of your qualifications. Only if you pass our test are you qualified to walk in here."
King Shang Ping's tone was calm, neither urgent nor slow, giving people a very calm feeling.
"Walk in here?" Jiang Chen smiled faintly, "It's just a confusing formation, is there anything special about it?"
Since I give everyone the impression that I am a madman, then I should be a little bit more crazy.
King Shang Ping smiled and said: "Fellow Taoist, I believe you have seen how many people are outside. The barbaric land has never been opened for tens of thousands of years. No one knows what is inside. However, if a sudden surge of
If so many people enter, it will inevitably cause chaos. If you accidentally collide with the powerful creatures inside, it may harm the real strong ones like us."
real strong man
Jiang Chen smiled, but he understood what the other party meant. It turned out that the test was to determine the "real strong person".
At this time, there was a middle-aged man in the distance, but he was a little impatient: "King Shang Ping, he is just a boy, his strength is only in the holy realm, there is no need to be so polite to him, right? Let him come in, you think highly of him. Why should you be so used to it?
With him?"
"Yes, who among us here is not from the imperial realm? It is a bit inappropriate to let a boy from the holy realm get involved."
Someone spoke, and others also spoke one after another. Obviously, they didn't quite agree with Jiang Chen's qualifications to enter this place.
King Shang Ping didn't seem to object to these statements. He just looked at Jiang Chen with a smile, wanting to see how Jiang Chen expressed his stance.
Jiang Chen shrugged: "Since you're not welcome, I'll leave."
"Now that you're here, you still want to leave?" The middle-aged man from before sneered and said to King Shang Ping, "King Shang Ping, if you let this kid in and then let him out, who knows whether he will chew his tongue outside.
?What if he goes out and talks nonsense, incites everyone's emotions, and thousands of people cause chaos together? What will be done then?
"Yes, now that he's here, we can't let him go."
Jiang Chen's expression darkened and he sneered: "What, could this be the Hongmen Banquet?"
King Shang Ping waved his hand and suddenly smiled mysteriously: "Everyone, please be quiet. Although this fellow Huang Daoist is still in the holy realm, his spiritual consciousness is not inferior to that of everyone here. On this trip, we are using our spiritual consciousness.
Know the powerful and the strong. Moreover, the more such people, the better."
"Even if his spiritual consciousness has some merits, but his strength is not enough, we still have to protect him?"
"That's right, if you bring someone who is holding you back, aren't you asking for trouble?"
All of them spoke in extremely rude tones, and treated Jiang Chen with contempt and contempt.
Jiang Chen just sneered, knowing that this was probably the alliance Lin Yanyu was talking about. It should be this group of people who gathered together to control this entry into the wilderness.
"You guys chat slowly, I'm not interested in listening to your nonsense." Jiang Chen said, his body swayed, and he had already reached the edge of the formation.
King Shang Ping was startled. With his formation, it was easy to get in but not easy to get out. The exit was very hidden and could not be found by ordinary people.
This young monk actually reached the edge of the formation exit in one step. This knowledge and observation power even surprised King Shang Ping.
