Yang Junshan walked carefully through the swamp. Finally, he let his curiosity and a bit of greed drive him to chase the two groups of people in the direction they were traveling, and decided to take a look.
At this time, he judged from the traces left in the swamp that he should be very close to the two groups of people chasing each other, so he had to be careful and watch the fun and not get himself trapped.
On a gentle slope in the swamp, the muddy water in the swamp has not spread here, but it is a good resting place. Zhang Yueming sat on a stone, frowning and not knowing what he was thinking about.
"Senior brother, the food and water we brought with us were lost a lot in the two previous battles. What should we do next? And this time, everyone followed the senior brother to the Nanxuan Swamp. Some senior brothers were already secretly in the Nanxuan Swamp.
I’m guessing about senior brother’s purpose.”
Xu Jing handed a bamboo tube filled with water to Zhang Yueming and reminded him softly.
Zhang Yueming was about to open the bamboo tube to drink water. Hearing this, he screwed the lid of the bamboo tube back on and said, "I'm not thirsty. Let's keep the water for now."
Looking at the dozen or so brothers around him, Zhang Yueming raised a wry smile. He didn't know that the reason why these people followed him was because they valued him and had already become an inner disciple of the Shaking Sky Sect before he had advanced to the martial arts realm.
It's just his identity and his reputation as a genius that is praised by others.
Now that they are in real danger, each of these people has different ideas. Although they do not oppose it publicly, some people have begun to question their decisions in private, and some have even begun to suggest splitting up and running away.
Once this vast swamp is separated, regardless of whether one or two people can cope with the danger hidden inside, I and others will be defeated by the opponents chasing behind them without any ability to fight back.
Only by uniting can we defeat our opponents and have the power to fight. We must mobilize everyone's hearts first. This thought flashed in Zhang Yueming's mind, and then he heard his serious words.
"You all don't know. The reason why we came to Nanxuan Swamp this time is because we found a clue in our sect's classics. More than a hundred years ago, a traitorous disciple of our Shaotian Sect once lived in Nanxuan Swamp.
There is a cave left in the Nanxuan swamp. This cave should contain some of the treasures collected by this person, and there may be magical weapons among them!"
Sure enough, when everyone heard the purpose of Zhang Yueming's trip, they all became energetic. A monk asked: "Uncle Zhang, you said that there is a cave in this swamp, but more than a hundred years have passed, then what?
Hasn’t the cave been dug by someone else?”
Zhang Yueming knew this person. He was the son of Xue Sheng, an inner disciple of Shantian Sect. His father was said to have gone to Luanshi Town, Chenyu County to serve as a guard a few days ago. This time he came to Chenyu County.
In Yu County, Senior Brother Xue introduced his son to him, and what he said was just asking him to support him more.
In fact, not only Xue Ziqi, but also several other young monks who were similar in age to him were mostly introduced to him by their fathers, who wanted their children to get closer to him and make friends.
Zhang Yueming has a high seniority in the Shaking Sky Sect. After he entered the sect, he was accepted as a disciple by the second-generation elders. In the Shaking Sky Sect, he is a third-generation disciple along with Xue Sheng and other inner disciples, but his own
Being young, these older brothers couldn't get close to them deliberately, so they used their children to get closer to them.
Zhang Yueming heard Xue Ziqi's inquiry and smiled and said: "Probably not. That cave is so secretive that people who don't know the location would never think of it."
Xue Ziqi thought for a while and then said: "Although my uncle said so, after more than a hundred years have passed, no one with good luck has happened to find the treasure. If this is the case, then I will go deep into Nanxuan this time."
Isn’t it true that trying to draw water from the swamp is in vain? What’s more, we have fought against the disciples of the Tanxi Sect twice before, and we have already killed Senior Brother Lu and Junior Brother Liang, and injured four or five other senior brothers. I think we should exit the swamp first.
, Anyway, Uncle Master, you also said that the cave is extremely hidden. If no one really discovers it, it will be the same again in the future!"
Zhang Yueming narrowed his eyes slightly. He could see that Xue Ziqi's words were recognized by some people. Some of them had been discouraged after the previous two battles. It was not so much boredom as
Scared.
"Brother, who is the name of that traitorous disciple? What are the treasures he left behind?" Xu Jing, who was standing aside, suddenly asked.
Although Xu Jing was only an outer disciple, she was very lucky. Because her Xanthium aperture gave birth to the innate secret technique, she was valued by a second-generation monk from the Shaking Sky Sect. This second-generation monk
Although he has never advanced to the Real Person Realm, he is very senior in the sect. Two of his former brothers are elders of the Real Person Realm, so his status in the Shaking Sky Sect is very high.
Zhang Yueming knew that Xu Jing was trying to save himself. Sure enough, as soon as Xu Jing's words came out, the other disciples turned their attention to him. Even Xue Ziqi looked absorbed in it.
Smiling gratefully at her, Zhang Yueming said: "This person's name is Yin Zhuoming. He is a warrior realm cultivator of our sect for more than a hundred years. He was once executed for stealing a treasure of our sect.
, but before he died, this person had left a way for him to rebel and escape, and this way was a cave in the Nanxuan Swamp."
"Because this person has already had the intention of defecting, he has stored most of his wealth in this cave, including magical weapons!"
"Magical weapon!"
When the young monks heard this, their spirits suddenly perked up, and their eyes shone with light!
Xue Ziqi couldn't help but added: "Even if there are magic weapons, there are probably only one or two. By then, they should be in Uncle Zhang's pocket, right?"
Everyone was silent for a while after hearing this. Even if Yin Zhuoming is a formation wizard of Shaotian Sect, he is already worthy of having one or two magic weapons. Even if they find the magic weapon in the cave, it is impossible for them to fall into their hands.
.
Zhang Yueming glanced at Xue Ziqi and said calmly: "I have said that this Yin Zhuoming is a genius in formation cultivation. This person once created a brand new formation based on a spiritual inheritance of his sect, and
This formation requires an extremely important auxiliary item when it is activated, and that is the Wutu Essence Stone!"
"Wutu Jingshi?"
At this time, everyone was not calm. Everyone present knew the function of Wutu Jingshi.
Zhang Yueming saw that everyone's originally sluggish energy suddenly rushed to Dingdian. A look of contempt flashed across his eyes inadvertently, but he smiled and said: "Everyone knows that our Shake Tian Sect inherits the earth attribute.
Well-known in Yuzhou, and even in the entire cultivation world, everyone must be very clear about the role of Wutu Jingshi. This time, at least eight or nine of the dozen or so people we entered the swamp have already reached the fifth level of the mortal realm.
, the others are all above the fourth level, the warrior realm is just around the corner. Although I don’t know how many Wutu essence stones are in the cave, but as a consumable for the formation, it is definitely impossible to be like a magic weapon.
There are only one or two pieces!”
"Then what are we waiting for? Let's go quickly now. What if those people catch up and snatch the treasure from us again?"
A dozen young monks had long forgotten the fear caused by the death of their previous companions. Even the three or four injured monks were working hard to continue following Zhang Yueming in search of the cave treasure left by Yin Zhuoming.
"Huh!" Xu Jing suddenly snorted coldly. Seeing everyone's surprised gazes, she said with a cold face: "Senior Brother Zhang took everyone into the swamp this time. He originally wanted to find a way for everyone to break into the martial arts realm.
A shortcut, Senior Brother Zhang is an honest man, in order to avoid everyone being disappointed, he put all the responsibilities on his own shoulders before he was completely sure. However, I never thought that some of you would doubt Senior Brother Zhang’s intentions. Now I hear it is possible.
Once you get the Wutu Jingshi, I’m afraid the previous blame in your heart will be forgotten.”
Everyone looked at me and others, many of them blushed, and a few looked as angry as Xu Jing, but they stared at Xue Ziqi.
Xu Jing sneered and said: "Of course, if there are still people who want to quit now, then I think everyone should be very welcome. After all, if there is one less person, then everyone will be able to share more of the treasure!"
Xue Ziqi looked panicked and quickly lowered his head, but there was a hint of cruelty in his eyes.
At this time, Yang Junshan was hiding behind the bushes in a swamp, and had already killed three mud snakes that had taken the opportunity to crawl to him and tried to attack him.
On a piece of mud not far from the bushes, more than twenty young monks aged sixteen or seventeen were gathering together to discuss something. Two or three of them were injured.
The clothes of these twenty-odd young monks were different from the people Yang Junshan usually saw, but Yang Junshan knew that these people were definitely not from Yu County, but monks from Tanxi County, Xi County, which is adjacent to Chenyu County.
, to be specific, he should be a monk of the Tanxi Sect.
Xijun is different from Yujun. Although this county is also divided into counties and towns, it is not divided by region like Yujun, but by the number of sects and the scope they occupy.
The largest sect in Xijun is divided into four, so Xijun is also divided into four counties. The size of each county is the same as the sphere of influence of the sect. This Tanxi sect is one of the sects that occupies Tanxi County.
As for the sect, as far as Yang Junshan knows, the Tanxi Sect ranks third among the four major sects in Xi County. Although it is far inferior to the Shaotian Sect in Yu County, it should not be underestimated.
"I really don't understand. Now that we know the traces of these people, the sect only needs to send two warrior realm monks to sink them all into the swamp. Why send us to fight with these people and get in four
Brother."
A fat young man found a dry stone and quickly sat on it, panting heavily and complaining. It was obvious that this person should be one of the leaders of these young monks.
"Fat pig, you have the nerve to say that there are twice as many of us as the outer disciples of Shaotian Sect, and we made a sneak attack again, but we didn't take advantage. Now is not the time to complain, but to think about it.
How can we complete the mission, otherwise we won’t be able to hold our heads high when we return to the sect this time!”
A tall young man patted the mud on his hands and called the other leading monks to come over.
