The mist is like a gauze covering the mountain forest.
Even during the day, the mountains and forests outside Lion Valley are still shrouded in a thin mist.
The fog is very light during the day, but becomes thicker at night.
Lin Zheyu tapped his toes and turned into a black shadow, moving quickly in the forest.
He has been here for ten days and has made no major discoveries.
Almost every day, civilians become refugees due to war.
Bandits in the Lion Valley come in and out every day, constantly bringing refugees to the Lion Valley.
In ten days, at least a thousand refugees were brought in.
In addition to the refugees, they don't know where a large amount of food and materials were transported from, otherwise they would not be able to meet the consumption of these refugees.
"Should I pretend to be a refugee and sneak into the Lion Valley?"
Lin Zheyu thought to himself.
He originally wanted to wait for those guys in black and red robes to go out, and then take the opportunity to strike.
It's a pity that ten days have passed and the man in black and red robes has not been seen going out.
From the entrance of the Lion Valley, the only people coming in and out are the bandits and the refugees who were recruited.
The strongest ones can only barely break through to the level of Qi and Blood Realm.
Lin Zheyu estimated that the bandit in the Qi and Blood Realm probably broke through after taking blood pills.
"No, those bandits are not stupid. There is no way they would take people to the Lion Valley without checking."
"If you want to sneak in, you have to at least make yourself look like you have been hungry for a long time and are skinny and bones."
Lin Zheyu pondered for a moment and gave up the idea.
After leaving the mountain forest outside the Lion Valley, the fog was no longer shrouded in fog, and the vision was much brighter.
Roar——
Passing by Beast Roar Mountain, a huge roar suddenly came from the forest.
Lin Zheyu is already used to strange things. Deep in the Beast Roar Mountain, there are many powerful ferocious beasts. When the sky gets dark, huge roars are often heard from the mountain.
Shashasha.
The breeze blows and the leaves rustle.
Lin Zheyu moved quickly through the mountains and forests. Affected by the war, there were many fewer hunters in the Roaring Mountains.
All the civilians outside the city have fled, leaving only the hunters in the city who make a living by hunting and occasionally come out to hunt.
Aoang——
Suddenly, a ferocious beast with fangs, more than two meters long, and a huge body suddenly burst out of the forest and rushed towards Lin Zheyu.
This ferocious beast is so powerful that an ordinary peak-level bone-forging warrior would be killed or disabled if hit by it.
But what it faced was Lin Zheyu, who was disguised as the Peak Bone Forging Master.
Bang!
Lin Zheyu moved to the left without warning, kicked his right foot on the ground, his arm muscles bulged, and punched the beast on the head.
He didn't use a knife because he didn't want the blood to stain the beast's body.
Click.
Terrifying power exploded, and the beast was blown away. There was a sound of broken bones in its head, and blood splattered from its eyes, nose, and ears.
After breaking two tree trunks in succession, the beast stopped.
Its body twitched a few times, its thick hooves paved its limbs, and it struggled to stand up.
However, after struggling for a moment, he suddenly twitched and became completely silent.
"I'm lucky, I can catch a ferocious beast on the way back."
A smile appeared on Lin Zheyu's face, he walked over, put the beast on his shoulders, and walked towards Songyicheng.
"Brother!"
Passing by the city gate, Lin Zheyu greeted Han Mo who was on patrol.
As the rebel army captured Baohe City, the city guards went out to suppress bandits much less frequently and spent their main energy on city defense.
"You went out hunting again."
"In times like this, it's very dangerous outside, so you'd better not take risks outside the city."
Han Mo frowned slightly, looked at the ferocious beast carried on Lin Zheyu's shoulders, and warned.
"Well, I'll pay attention."
"I'm fast. Ordinary Zang-refining realm warriors can't catch me, so there's not much danger." Lin Zheyu said with a smile.
He looked at his senior brother up and down and found that Han Mo's strength had broken through to the Qi and Blood realm, and he was very happy for him.
"Senior brother, come to my house to have a barbecue tonight. The meat of this green-faced beast has a good taste and is very chewy. After the barbecue, it is best paired with wine."
Lin Zheyu smiled and invited.
After Xu Qinyi and Ren Qingfeng left Songyicheng, his life became much boring. No one wanted him to listen to music or watch the theater at night.
Jia Yanyong, Xie Jiang and Ning Hui occasionally visited Baihualou with him, but they didn't go every day. Not only could their wallets not bear it, but their bodies couldn't bear it either.
"Next time, I have to patrol tonight."
"I heard that the rebels have reorganized their troops and plan to attack Guanning City. I don't know if Guanning City can be defended."
Han Mo frowned and said with some worry.
"Don't worry, it should be fine. Recently I saw tens of thousands of troops passing by on the official road, heading to support."
"With so much military support, we should be able to hold on, right?" Lin Zheyu said.
During this period of time, thousands of troops passed by almost every day, and the largest army numbered tens of thousands.
The strength of the leader is very terrifying, and he is full of terrifying energy and blood. Even Lin Zheyu cannot see through the opponent's strength.
"I hope..."
Han Mo sighed.
Although they have found a way out for their parents, wives and children, no one is willing to leave their hometown and escape to live in a foreign land.
If we can stop the rebel army and save Songyicheng, that would be the best.
After chatting with Senior Brother Han Mo for a while, Lin Zheyu carried the beast home.
After beheading Xing Penghai and his son, his life returned to its former peace, and the fifth elder of the Xing family did not invite him again.
After returning home, Lin Zheyu took care of the green mane beast and had a hearty meal.
His current appetite is very large. If he eats with an open stomach, such a big beast will not be enough for him to eat for a day.
After dinner, Lin Zheyu practiced the Liuhe sword technique in the yard.
From the beginning to the end, this sword technique has never used source power, and he has purely relied on his own hard training. Now he is not far from perfection.
Under the bright moonlight, the courtyard shimmered with silvery white light.
Boo hoo hoo.
The blade of the blade split the air, making a whistling sound, and the strong wind roared.
Lin Zheyu practiced for more than an hour before stopping to rest.
【God rewards those who work hard】
Name: Lin Zheyu
Source power:0
Skills:
Man Niu Fist (Perfect)
Liuhe Knife (Dacheng 37%)
Jin Yan Gong (eighth level 40%)
Wanjunbu(Fifth level 48%)
Poison King Body (0% on the first level)
Turtle Breathing Technique (Third Level 5%)
Lin Zheyu looked at the data in his consciousness, and the progress of Liuhe Sword Technique improved a little.
In the past ten days, he had accumulated another four units of source power, improving the Jin Yan Gong to 40% of the progress of the eighth level.
In order to save some money, Lin Zheyu used eight pairs of blood-replenishing and bone-strengthening soup for each unit of energy.
After each upgrade, you can probably recover to 10% of your energy and blood strength.
Early the next morning.
As usual, Lin Zheyu practiced for an hour and then left the city with his sword.
Arrive outside the entrance of Lion Valley and squat in a familiar place.
He still doesn't believe it, he can't guard those guys in black and red robes.
Shashasha.
Time passes slowly.
Lin Zheyu sat cross-legged on a tree, practicing the Turtle Breathing Technique while observing the movement at the entrance.
After practicing hard during this period, his Turtle Breathing Technique finally improved by one percentage point.
After reaching the third level, the difficulty of practicing Turtle Breath Dafa skyrockets. To increase it by just one percentage point, it will take months of hard practice.
If he uses source power to improve, he estimates that he will need about ten units of source power to reach the third level of perfection.
"Someone is coming again!"
Lin Zheyu's ears twitched and he stopped practicing.
He stood up silently and hid in the tree to observe who was coming.
This time there were a total of thirty-eight people and twenty-five horses, carrying heavy sacks on their backs. They stepped on the soil, leaving deep horse hoof marks.
When he saw the visitor, his expression changed, and there was a look of surprise in his eyes.
"It turned out to be this old guy. I've been looking for him for so long and I haven't seen anyone. I didn't expect to meet him here."
Lin Zheyu was very surprised.
Among this group of people, the strongest are three old men who look to be in their fifties or sixties.
One of the old men was the fifth elder of the Xing family who had recruited him before. This old guy's strength was nothing to be afraid of, he was just at a different level in the Qi and Blood Realm.
Another old man has extremely strong Qi and blood. He has reached the level of the second transformation of Qi and blood, and is probably not far from the third transformation of Qi and blood.
The last old man was very powerful and seemed to have the ability to conceal his aura. His body aura was very obscure and he couldn't see through it.
However, Lin Zheyu could faintly feel the threat emanating from the other party.
"Isn't the old man a strong man with four changes of energy and blood?" Lin Zheyu frowned slightly.
Hold your breath, activate the Turtle Breathing Technique with all your strength, and hide your body behind the tree trunk.
Lin Zheyu watched the team enter the Lion Valley and disappeared.
"The Xing family actually dispatched such powerful warriors on this trip. It seems that their plan is not small." Lin Zheyu looked at the direction of the entrance and said secretly.
He quietly hid his figure and continued to squat, waiting for the Xing family and his party to come out of the Lion Valley.
Lin Zheyu feels that this time, he will encounter a big fish!
……
A group of people from the Xing family passed through the narrow entrance and arrived at the Lion Valley.
After several months of construction, the Lion Valley has been built by the Jiuyou Sect in a stylish way.
"Great Elder, do you think the people of Jiuyou Sect will agree to our request?" Entering the Lion Valley, the fifth elder couldn't help but ask.
The three of them are the first elder, second elder, and fifth elder of the Xing family.
"Yes, our request is nothing to them." The great elder said softly.
When you enter Lion Valley, you will be greeted by dedicated personnel.
The first elder and fifth elder are not responsible for handing over the goods, there are specialized personnel to handle it.
"Three distinguished guests, the priest invites you!" A man in black and red robes came over and said to the three elders of the Xing family.
"Okay!"
The great elder said softly.
The two of them followed the man in black and red robes and walked towards the shrine.
When passing by the square, many people spontaneously knelt on the ground and worshiped and prayed to the statues of gods and demons.
The fifth elder and the second elder couldn't help but glance at the statue in the square, and their hearts were shocked.
The statues of gods and demons seemed to come alive, rapidly enlarging in their field of vision and turning into terrifying phantoms of gods and demons 10,000 meters high.
The phantom of the demon god exuded such terrifying pressure that the two of them could not help but tremble.
Call
Huhu...
The energy and blood in the body circulated rapidly, and the two of them came back from the illusion, breathing heavily.
This statue becomes even more magical!
The fifth elder and the second elder were shocked.
They had been here once before, when the statues of gods and demons were not so weird.
The great elder sensed the movements of the other two elders and turned back to look at them. Seeing that they were fine, he looked at the statue on the edge of the square.
However, the great elder just glanced at it lightly, his eyes condensed slightly, and he quickly recovered, seemingly not affected by the statues of gods and demons.
"The great elder's will is so strong that he is not affected by the statues of gods and demons." The man in black and red robes said with a smile.
"It's just a statue. Although it's a bit magical, it's not enough to influence me."
The great elder said lightly, his eyes full of arrogance.
"Haha."
"In half a year, if the Great Elder is still immune to the influence of the statues of gods and demons, it will not be too late to say this." The man in black and red robes said with a sneer.
The great elder did not argue too much, but he became increasingly vigilant.
Jiuyou Sect is full of weirdness, even a statue of gods and demons can be so mysterious.
If the conditions offered by Jiuyou Sect were not too tempting, they would not want to have contact with these people at all.
It's too dangerous. If you're not careful, the Xing family will be trapped.
Entering the temple, the lobby is extremely solemn and solemn.
In the center is the statue of the Nine Nether Demon God, with eighteen statues of other demon gods placed on both sides.
Those demon gods are the generals under the command of the Nine Nether Demon God.
With the previous lessons learned, this time the fifth elder and the second elder did not dare to look directly at the statue of the Nine Nether Demon God, and kept their eyes and noses in mind throughout the process.
The Great Elder glanced at the statue of the Nine Nether Demon God lightly, his eyes condensed slightly, and then he immediately returned to his original state.
Just the ups and downs of his chest revealed the unrest in his heart.
When the man in black and red robes who led them in saw this, he chuckled, his eyes a little mocking.
How can Lord Demon God be something that you mortals can look directly at?
The man in black and red robes led the two of them into the door on the right side of the lobby, walked through the corridor, and came to the side hall.
"Sir, the three elders of the Xing family have been brought here." The man in black and red robes said respectfully to the priest sitting on the chair.
"Well, you go down first." The priest said calmly.
"Yes, sir."
The man in black and red robes retreated, leaving only the priest, the first elder, the second elder and the fifth elder in the room.
"I wonder how you have considered the last proposal?" the priest said lightly.
"We would like to change the conditions and replace them with one longevity elixir, ten blood elixirs, and thirty essence elixirs."
"As for joining the Jiuyou Sect and becoming the protector of the Jiuyou Sect, we have no such idea for the time being."
"We want to replace the opportunity of the devil's blessing with the secret method of cultivating immortals."
The great elder said lightly, with a trace of enthusiasm flashing in his eyes.
The secret method of cultivating immortals is their main purpose in cooperating with Jiuyou Sect.
It is recorded in the classics passed down by the ancestors of the Xing family that the secret method of cultivating immortals can make people transcend the world, practice Taoism, become immortals, and live forever!
It is a pity that the secret method of cultivating immortals was completely banned by the Wei officials and was promoted as a forbidden technique.
The Xing family spent hundreds of years secretly investigating, but failed to find the secret method. Unexpectedly, the appearance of the Jiuyou Sect brought them a glimmer of hope.
"Are you sure you don't want the opportunity given by the devil? It's extremely difficult for even me to get this kind of opportunity."
"The secret method of cultivating immortals is not as beautiful as you think. The dangers involved can only be fully understood after practicing, and they are far less valuable than the blessings from the devil."
The priest looked at the great elder and said calmly.
"We are sure, we must practice the secret method of immortality." The great elder said with certainty.
"Okay."
Seeing that the great elder was so decisive, the priest stopped trying to persuade him.
He took out a piece of special leather paper from his arms. The back of the paper had dense and mysterious patterns, and the front was full of writing.
"Sprinkle blood on it, sign it, and our contract will be established." The priest said to the great elder.
Huh——
The great elder took a deep breath and held back the excitement in his heart.
He picked up the leather paper. The leather paper was made of the skin of an unknown beast. It felt very good and was softer and more delicate than silk in his hand.
After carefully reading the writing on it and confirming that the content of the agreement was correct, the elder took out the dagger and cut his finger.
He pinched it gently with his fingers and squeezed out a drop of blood, which dropped on the leather paper.
The blood was instantly absorbed by the paper, and the scarlet light on the back of the paper flashed away.
The great elder picked up the brush on the side and signed his name on it.
The moment he finished writing his name, he felt in a trance, and an inexplicable power poured into his mind and disappeared.
The second elder and the fifth elder looked at each other and stepped forward, just like the great elders, and signed with blood.
The moment they signed, they also felt an inexplicable force pouring into their minds and disappearing.
"This is a contract with the devil. Once the contract is established, it cannot be violated. Anyone who violates the contract will be punished by the devil."
The priest put away the paper and said calmly.
When the three of them heard this, they were slightly surprised.
They did feel a breath of terror pouring into their minds just now, but it quickly disappeared.
"The contract has been signed, you can give me the things!" the great elder said calmly.
"Yeah."
The priest nodded gently.
He took out five bottles of elixirs and a booklet from his arms.
"This bottle is for longevity elixirs, and this bottle is for ten blood elixirs. Each of these three bottles contains ten essence elixirs."
"This is the secret method of cultivating immortals."
"I'll give you a piece of advice, don't try the secret method of cultivating immortals easily, otherwise there will be endless troubles."
