After leaving Shengxian Supermarket, Qi Guanxing appeared in the woods where Lu Quan and three others had been intercepted. He had previously marked this place with a guide bead.
Looking at the corpses of the two Foundation Establishment monks on the ground, Qi Guanxing felt as if he was in a dream. In just one night, his fate had undergone earth-shaking changes. From a trash in everyone's mouth, he turned into a Foundation Establishment monk.
monk.
He listened carefully in the distance and found that the sound of fighting had stopped. Qi Guanxing, who was worried about Liang Junrou's master and apprentice, planned to go back and inquire about the news.
The closer you get to the main peak, the more horrific the scene becomes. The corpses of disciples of the Qingguang Sword Sect can be seen everywhere, and the smell of blood makes people gag.
The Qingguang Sword Sect suffered heavy losses in this battle. Meng Qingwei died in the battle, and almost all the monks in the foundation-building stage were slaughtered. Only some disciples with low cultivation levels in the Qi-refining stage who did not participate in the previous battles managed to save their lives.
At this time, these disciples in the Qi refining period were gathering the corpses of their fellow disciples. Qi Guanxing, who was hiding in the dark, learned from their conversations that the demon sect had been repulsed by the masters of the Dongchuan Sect. After Liang Junrou’s master and disciple were safe, he couldn’t help but grow a
He breathed a sigh of relief and his anxious heart was relieved.
"Now that Elder Liang and Ziyi are safe, it's time for me to leave here." Thinking of this, Qi Guanxing's figure slowly disappeared into the night.
In the back hall of Qingguang Palace, Lu Quan, whose ears had been cut off, was kneeling in front of Lu Jinsong, telling the story of his previous experience with runny nose and tears.
Seeing his grandson's gauze-wrapped cheek still oozing blood, Lu Jinsong laughed angrily and asked viciously: "Do you know who did it?"
Lu Quan wiped his nose, shook his head and said, "That person's face was covered at the time. My grandson doesn't know who he is."
"What kind of cultivation is he?"
"He killed Zhang Liang and Liu Ming in one move. His cultivation level should be quite high."
Zhang Liang and Liu Ming were the two foundation-building disciples that Lu Jinsong sent to protect Lu Quan.
Lu Jinsong said to himself: "One of them is in the middle stage of Foundation Establishment, and the other is in the late stage of Foundation Establishment. He can easily kill the two of them. The one who comes here is at least in the early stage of Golden Core."
At this point, he said to his grandson who was kneeling on the ground: "Get up, the demon sect is coming fiercely, I can't blame you for this."
Lu Quanru was pardoned, and after getting up from the ground, he whispered: "Grandpa, I lost the spirit stone given to Dongchuan Gate, how should we explain it?!"
Lu Jinsong stroked his beard, thought for a moment and then looked at Lu Quan: "No matter who asks from now on, you have never been involved in this matter, and you have never known about it. Do you understand?"
"What does grandpa mean?"
"Alas, Zhang Liang and Liu Ming risked their lives to protect the spirit stone, and finally died tragically under the sword of the demon sect!"
Lu Quan's eyes lit up: "My grandson understands."
"It's good that you understand. You can go down and heal your wounds. I still have to give Fatty Pei an explanation for this matter."
In the Qingguang Hall, Fatty Pei, dressed in red, was leading a group of Jindan disciples to have tea and rest. When he saw Lu Jinsong coming in, he put down the tea bowl in his hand and asked, "Sect Master Lu, have you dealt with the aftermath?"
Lu Jinsong nodded sadly: "Our sect suffered this disaster, and the disciples suffered heavy casualties. If Elder Pei hadn't arrived in time, the Qingguang Sword Sect would have been wiped out long ago. Lu would like to thank Elder Pei!"
While speaking, Lu Jinsong bowed his hands, but Fatty Pei did not give in. He sat on the spot and accepted Lu Jinsong's gift calmly. After all, he is the elder of the Yuan Ying period of Dongchuan Sect, and he is the head of a small Qingguang Sword Sect.
Didn't take it seriously.
After receiving a bow from Lu Jinsong, Fatty Pei went straight to the point: "Sect Master Lu, where are the spiritual stones that you handed over?"
After hearing this, Lu Jinsong's heart skipped a beat, but his expression remained calm as he said, "I'm reporting to Elder Pei, the demon sect suddenly attacked the mountain gate earlier. We were incompetent and were unable to fight. In order to ensure that the spirit stone does not fall into the hands of the demon
I ordered two disciples to take the spirit stone secretly down the mountain from the path, and the spirit stone must have been delivered to Dongchuan Gate by this time."
Fatty Pei's face softened, and he said with a smile: "It's good that the spirit stone is fine. Sect Master Lu is interested."
Unexpectedly, at this moment, a Qingguang Sword Sect disciple in the Qi Refining Stage ran in with a panic expression.
"Reporting to the sect master, the disciples found the bodies of Zhang Liang and Liu Ming in the back mountain! They have been poisoned by demons from the demon sect."
"What?!" Lu Jinsong yelled after hearing this, and slumped down on the chair with a pale face.
Fatty Pei saw this and asked, "What's going on?"
Lu Jinsong took a deep breath and said nervously: "Those two are the disciples I sent to escort the spirit stone. I'm afraid the spirit stone..."
At this point, Lu Jinsong slipped from the chair and knelt on the ground, pleading to Fatty Pei: "For the sake of past friendship, please save me, Elder Pei!"
After hearing this, Fatty Pei's eyes flashed coldly, but when he remembered that he had benefited from Lu Jinsong all these years, his expression gradually softened.
After pondering for a long time, he slowly said: "The demon sect is coming fiercely this time, and I can't blame you completely for this. But after all, the spirit stone was lost in your hands, and you must have an explanation for this matter.
How about this, the lost spiritual stones this time will be made up in the next two years when they are handed over. But in this case, your whole sect will have to tighten their belts, do you have any objection to this? "
"Thank you, Elder Pei, for showing mercy. Lu doesn't dare to have any objections."
Just kidding, how dare Lu Jinsong have any objections. If it were another sect that lost the spirit stone, it would be strange if the leader didn't sacrifice his life to compensate. This is enough to show that his thoughts in Dongchuan Sect over the years have not been in vain.

The green mountains, green water, birds singing and the fragrance of flowers make it very comfortable to walk with a sword. Qi Guanxing was in a comfortable mood while admiring the surrounding beautiful scenery, while referring to the map to identify the direction.
Lu Quan had previously marked the location of the Lingshi mine for him, and at this time he was thinking about how to make a fortune in the Lingshi mine.
"That's right, it should be right here. Why is there nothing? Is that guy Lu Quan lying to me?"
Qi Guanxing's sword has been hovering in the air for a long time. He looked at the map and then at the scenery below. Except for the high mountains and dense forests, he could not feel any fluctuations in spiritual power at all.
Reluctantly, he put away his flying sword and jumped down, then raised the map in his hand and compared it carefully.
At this moment, a ripple suddenly appeared in the distant space, as if a stone was thrown into the calm water. Then, a figure walked out of the ripples out of thin air.
Qi Guanxing was shocked when he saw this, and hurriedly turned around and hid behind a tree. At this time, several more people walked out from behind the man.
Only one of them said: "Yesterday, a message was sent to the door. A few days ago, the Qingguang Sword Sect was attacked by the Demon Sect, and the spirit stones turned in were robbed. The leader was very angry and ordered us to strengthen our precautions to prevent people from the Demon Sect from finding this place.
!”
Another person sneered: "The Qingguang Sword Sect is abolished this time, and we can't count on the useless disciples under their sect. If it hadn't been for our Dongchuan Sect to take action, the Qingguang Sword Sect would have been wiped out!"
