Early the next morning, Jiang Li got ready and set off.
At this time, the outer gate was also filled with gloom and gloom.
A large number of the most elite outer sect disciples should have been preparing for the outer sect competition with all their strength at this time.
But now, he is going to participate in a mission that is like sending someone to his death. It would be crazy if he could still be happy about it.
There is obviously a lot of security in the sect, and from time to time, black-clad law enforcement disciples can be seen patrolling everywhere inside the sect.
Jiang Li carried the wooden sign and finally arrived at the meeting place after passing through many obstacles.
At a rough count, there are about five hundred outer sect disciples waiting here. They are one-twentieth of the highest and strongest among the outer sect disciples today.
They are obviously much older than Jiang Liming, and they should all be old people who have stayed outside for many years.
After all, they were all disciples who were originally going to participate in the outer sect competition, and at the end they had to be at the upper level of the middle stage of Qi training.
According to the cultivation speed of middle and high-grade spiritual roots, the youngest among them are probably around eighteen or nineteen years old.
Although Jiang Li has good physical skills and a strong and tall figure, he is still easily noticed by others at the age of early thirteen and less than fourteen years old.
This is equivalent to a junior high school student walking into a gathering hall of high school students and college students and quickly attracting a lot of attention.
In this defection incident, even if the sect elders and inner disciples defected, it would not be their group of outer disciples' turn to point their fingers.
There is no other reason than that his status is not good enough and he is not qualified.
Therefore, as the only outer disciple who defected, Yu Banxia undoubtedly became the target of public criticism.
These outer sect disciples dare not say anything wrong with the sect, nor dare to say anything wrong with Elder Duan, nor dare they openly criticize the inner sect brothers. Then there is only one culprit left.
Jiang Li, who was familiar with Yu Banxia, was also disgusted.
From time to time, someone would point and whisper in his direction, but Jiang Li didn't pay much attention and just stood at the back of the crowd and waited quietly.
soon.
"Is everyone here?"
Such a sound came from the front, and immediately a ripple of spiritual energy passed by. It was the people from the Sect Law Enforcement Hall who were counting the number of people.
The outer disciples have stayed in the outer sect for so many years, and there are very few unruly ones, so Jiang Li was a little disappointed. There was no such thing as being late this time.
The outer disciples boarded the boat one after another. This time, the boat they took was not the large-scale building or airship that Jiang Li and the others had taken before.
Instead, it was replaced by a warship-like flying boat that was completely black in color and had a longer and narrower hull.
Warships and floor ships have different functional orientations, and the interior decorations tend to be simple and practical.
Soon, the warship spaceship started to take off, and then continued to accelerate. A violent push was felt on the back, and there was an obvious shaking and vibration. The riding experience was much worse than that of a high-rise ship.
"Outer disciples, this incident happened suddenly in our sect. I believe you have heard a little bit about the whole story."
After the warship's acceleration gradually stabilized, an elder finally came out to explain the situation.
"The rumors you know are correct! Duan Shuang, the original elder of the sect's external affairs, after robbing the sect's treasures, fled the sect with his disciples and an outer disciple!"
"And what you have to do this time is to find their whereabouts in Yunxi City!"
The disciples below are heavy-hearted. There were rumors before, but now they have lost even the last bit of luck.
"But you don't have to worry. Duan Shuang has been seriously injured by the elders of the sect. Your mission this time is just to find where they are hiding."
"Next, each of you will get a Thunderbolt in your hand. As long as you find them and sound the Thunderbolt, you will no longer be needed for the rest. The elders of the sect will take action."
"There are a total of eleven disciples who followed Duan Shuang to escape, including five disciples in the foundation building stage and six disciples in the Qi refining stage. As long as you find one of them, you will be deemed to have passed the competition and are allowed to join the inner sect. Here are the portraits of all of them. You
Look carefully and remember clearly!”
Listening to the elder's words, the outer disciples had no choice but to accept the reality.
I can only comfort myself with the nonsense of "dangers and opportunities coexist". After all, in previous competitions, at best, only the top three were eligible to enter the inner sect.
Others either have to wait for the next year, or rely on cultivation to break through the foundation building on their own.
But this year, if you are lucky, twelve people will have the opportunity to enter the inner gate.
Soon, a bunch of Sky Thunders were distributed to everyone.
It was a bamboo tube the size of an index finger, with a rope on one end and a seal on the other end with red paint.
Jiang Li tied the piece of rope around his wrist according to the method taught by his disciple. Then, he could activate the signal with a flick of his wrist.
"Senior brother, can you give me a map of Yunxi City?"
While other outer disciples were crowding together to look at the map, Jiang Li approached a law enforcement disciple on the side and asked for a map.
The map provided by this Immortal Cultivation Sect is different. In addition to extremely accurate city copies, various Feng Shui phases are also marked in detail.
Jiang Li studied it for a while.
"It seems that I have thought too much. This city does not seem to be built according to some formation. At least you will not be certain to die after entering..."
The speed of this warship is obviously much faster than that of a building ship.
After Jiang Li used his strength to squeeze into the crowd and look at the portrait for a while, the flying boat shook violently again and began to slow down slowly.
But the destination has already been reached.
In this way, the sect left a group of outer disciples at the gate of Yunxi City.
Immediately, the flying boat rose into the sky again, and together with the other two flying boats, slowly circled around the city.
....
"Three warships, the sect is really generous."
Jiang Li, who was raising his head to watch the flying boat take off, suddenly turned sideways to avoid grabbing a palm from behind.
"Senior brothers, what do you want to do?"
He turned around calmly and looked at the five people who had gathered around him.
"Hmph, how dare you hide even though you know we are senior brothers! Kneel down immediately and kowtow to apologize. Senior brothers may be able to spare your life."
These five people were all at least one head taller than Jiang Li, and they seemed to be surrounding him like a lamb waiting to be slaughtered.
"Oh? Sect disciples are not allowed to kill their fellow disciples. I'm afraid senior brother has forgotten that."
Jiang Li remained calm and collected, but instead of looking like he was surrounded by others, it looked like he was clearly surrounding these five people.
"Ha, junior brother, you have misunderstood us. The senior brothers also want to complete the task quickly, so they can only sacrifice junior brother."
"Furthermore, there were always casualties in the outer gate competitions in the past, and now that the situation is like this, who cares about our lives?
"Just be obedient and I will break your limbs, don't resist, and you will eat less bones!"
The leader grabbed him with one claw again, and a metallic color flashed between his fingers. The momentum was extremely fierce, as if he was about to claw through Jiang Li's shoulder in the next moment.
Snapped!
Jiang Li, however, remained calm and suddenly raised his hand, grabbing the opponent's wrist and preventing his sharp claws from moving forward.
"Junior brother is only in the middle of his qi training. How can he help these senior brothers complete their mission?"
At this time, their situation also attracted the attention of other outer disciples.
Except for some disciples who didn't like to meddle in other people's business and entered the city directly, everyone else looked over with interest.
It is normal for the seniors to bully the juniors among the outer sect, but those few people claimed that they had a way to use Jiang Li to complete their mission, which naturally attracted the attention of many disciples.
"Hmph! Stop pretending, your name is Jiang Li! You are friends with the defector Yu Banxia, right?"
"Don't deny it! My people saw you come back from the mission together, and you also received the spiritual stone from the Hall of Things."
The man whose wrist was grabbed by Jiang Li said this. He kept increasing his strength in his hands and tried to retract his arm, but in vain.
"So what?"
Jiang Li finally remembered that this person was probably the "so and so" that Yan Hong had told him that he was going to target them. But what was his name? He didn't remember it at all.
"Hmph! How about it? Wait until we beat you half to death, and then hang you on the top of the city where you will be exposed to the wind and sun and be pecked by birds! Let's see if your friends can come out to save you!"
When other onlookers heard this, some felt that this was too cruel and harmful to nature, and should not be used against fellow disciples.
But some people's eyes lit up after hearing this. Yu Banxia was the weakest among the twelve targets. It could be said that he was the number one candidate expected by all the disciples.
As long as you find him, not only is there no danger, you can easily join the inner sect, why not!
Of course, if you do this, the chance of success in inducing Pinellia ternata may not be high, but what's the big deal if you sacrifice a Jiang Li to try it?
In the eyes of all of them, Jiang Li, the youngest, must be the weakest one even if he is lucky enough to reach the middle stage of Qi training. How can he make waves in front of them?
"Senior Brother's plan is really good, but what if I don't want to?"
The palm with a metallic luster was obviously a kind of metal method. The opponent had been struggling hard, but that method did not seem to increase the strength, and Jiang Li could not withdraw his right hand.
However, Jiang Li gradually increased his strength as he spoke, and his hand slowly tightened like an iron hoop. The severe pain that gradually worsened made this senior brother's face turn red.
"It's not up to you!..."
"Damn it! Let me go!"
He finally couldn't keep his composure anymore and kicked him over, trying to save himself.
However, contrary to expectations, Jiang Li poked his feet faster and harder than him!
One kick stabbed the opponent's lower abdomen like a pile driver, and only the crisp sound of broken bones could be heard.
This senior outer disciple named "So So So", who was in the late stage of Qi training, was kicked out and at the same time, the ulna and radius bones of his right wrist were also broken.
The bloody stomach contents sprayed a beautiful arc in the air, and the severe pain made him almost faint.
However, this is not over yet! An iron chain shot out from Jiang Li's waist.
The only difference from before is that there is a large black iron hook at the top of the iron chain.
This was fished out of the Mazu River by Jiang Li when he was recasting the iron chain, and a hook-shaped stained magic weapon was melted and cast together.
Phew!
The iron chain caught up with the flying "so and so", and the sharp hook pierced into the flesh. Then the thick and long iron chain straightened suddenly, hanging the opponent in the air for a moment, and then returned again under the brute force.
shoot.
Jiang Li was already prepared. He bulged up his muscles on his shoulders, kicked hard with his feet, and hit the opponent who flew back hard.
The first form of the Sutra of Climbing the Mountain! The Demonic Ape Crashes into the Mountain!
He showed no mercy in this collision. The moment the opponent collided with him, his bones crackled like fried beans and broke into countless pieces.
When Jiang Li's limp body slipped off, the four people still standing around him came to their senses, looked at Jiang Li with frightened eyes, and stepped back with trembling legs.
The changes just happened so fast!
They didn't have time to react at all.
Who would have thought! Who would have thought! A new disciple who was forced into a desperate situation by five outer disciples would suddenly become violent!
In just one breath, he instantly killed a senior who was in the late stage of Qi training!
How can this be!
"Senior brothers, how high do you plan to hang me?"
"Junior brother is afraid of heights. Please hang it lower for me when you take the bait. Do you agree?"
While Jiang Li was speaking, his figure had disappeared from the spot. When he reappeared, he had already grabbed someone's neck.
Before the man could beg for mercy, his fragile cervical vertebrae had already bent ninety degrees, and his body fell softly.
"So three senior brothers, what do you think?"
Plop! Plop! Plop!
Two people died one after another, one of whom was a well-known late Qi practitioner among the outer sect.
The remaining three of them had completely lost the courage to resist, not only suffering from liver and gallbladder injuries.
"We didn't want it! It was all Wu Han! It was all Wu Han who instigated us! That's why we did such a wrong thing!"
"Senior Brother Jiang Li, we are ignorant of Mount Tai! We don't dare to do it anymore! We really don't dare to do it anymore! Your Excellency has a lot of people, so just let us go!"
These three people were quite smart. They didn't accept Jiang Li's proposition. They just knelt down and begged for mercy. They shouted "Senior Brother" to Jiang Li, who was much younger than them.
But the rules of the world of immortality are like this, whoever is stronger is the senior brother.
The way they knelt down and begged for mercy was ugly, but they managed to save their lives for the time being.
Jiang Li glanced at the flying boat still circling in the sky, snorted coldly, and put away the iron chain.
"If you want to live forever, you can! If you sign the contract, your life will be mine from now on!"
Jiang Li threw out a piece of yellow contract paper. The terms on it were extremely strict. It could be said that Jiang Li would have complete control over their life and death in the future.
"Senior Brother Jiang Li...can you..."
Seeing that Jiang Li had really put away his weapons, they thought he was soft-hearted, and seeing the strict terms of the contract, they actually wanted Jiang Li to give in.
However, when they raised their heads, Jiang Li was no longer in front of them.
And from behind, dark hands pinched the backs of the two people's necks, and the chain flew out unsteadily and wrapped around the neck of the man in the middle.
