Just as Shen Long said, at this moment, the person who appeared outside the valley was none other than the Great Elder of the Holy Fire Sect, the real person in charge of the Holy Fire Sect at this time, and a monk at the pinnacle of Taoism, Dong Yichuan.
That was Lin Ji's original target, the one Qiu Rujun said must die.
"This person has a good tone, but he doesn't look very powerful." Lin Ji looked at the other person from a distance, and then smiled at Zi Qing beside him, "He is just a dry old man. In addition to the Holy Fire Road, which may be a little troublesome, he seems to have some troubles. Nothing great anymore.”
It seemed like a casual chat, but as a traveling official, Zi Qing naturally had a sharp mind, so she couldn't hear what Lin Ji was saying.
"You don't want to take action?"
"I think if you join forces with Mr. Shen, this dry old man can only sit back and wait for the kill. Lin only needs to stand aside for the two of you." Lin Ji said without changing his expression.
Zi Qing nodded noncommittally.
"In this case, I will leave the fourth elder of the Holy Fire Sect to you. If you can kill Xiyu Mountain, then Bei Junyi will naturally not be your opponent."
After the words fell, Lin Ji suddenly frowned slightly.
He lowered his head and saw that a thin layer of frost had appeared on his body at some point.
At this time, he was in the sky. Although he was not very high, strong winds were always passing by, so his surroundings were blocked by spiritual energy.
It seems to be in the wind and snow, but in fact it is not affected at all.
Therefore, this sudden white frost was too conspicuous for him not to notice.
Zi Qing on the side saw Lin Ji's attention diverted, she chuckled and said: "Bei Junyi's Tao is Hanshuang. In fact, most of the Taoists in the far north have a lot to do with the environment in the far north. Relationship."
"This is not surprising to Lin. That Xiyushan is the Frost Dao, and one of Lin's arms was frozen off. So what does the Frost Dao have to say?"
Zi Qing did not answer, but looked at Shen Long aside.
Shen Long grinned.
"Don't look at me. Back then, I gave Bei a knife. At that time, he couldn't even make a move in front of me. If the guy from Xiyu Mountain hadn't fought hard with all his strength, he would have become the dead soul under my sword."
Hearing this, Lin Ji suddenly remembered what happened two years ago when he sent the Shura girl named Xiaoying to the Qingcheng sect.
At that time, Shen Long said that he once fought against two Taoists from the Holy Fire Sect, one against two, and one of them was injured and escaped.
As expected, those who can become the upper heaven official are all the best in the Taoist realm. On the contrary, Lin Ji himself became the upper heaven official just a few days after being promoted to the Tao, so he seemed to be just making up for it.
Just when Lin Ji was thinking wildly, Shen Long on the other side suddenly disappeared.
When he reappeared, he had already gone beyond Yunshen Valley in the distance. Lin Ji could only see him waving the big knife towards Dongyi River, and then a burst of fire suddenly appeared, and both of their bodies were engulfed by the fire. , and then I can no longer see clearly.
"Dongyi Chuan is difficult to deal with. The Holy Fire Path comes from the purification path of the eighth realm. If that reckless man Shen Long were to challenge him alone, I'm afraid he would suffer a big loss. Dong Yichuan is more difficult to deal with than Yu Li Jian. I'm going to help him. .”
A ribbon fluttered around Zi Qing and wrapped around her, automatically in the absence of wind.
Lin Ji had seen this scene when he returned to the capital to discuss the Demon Suppression Tower, but at that time he had only limited knowledge and could not understand it.
Now, just by glancing at it, he knew that this ribbon was also a Taoist weapon, and he could vaguely sense a considerable threat from it.
"As for the one next to you, I leave it to you."
As soon as the words fell, Zi Qing's spiritual energy suddenly burst out, and she was completely submerged in the wind and snow, leaving only a ribbon fluttering.
Lin Ji's eyes also turned around and looked not far away in another direction.
A middle-aged man appeared there at some point. At this moment, he was looking at Lin Ji up and down with somewhat complicated eyes.
"Elder Bei?" Lin Ji raised his eyebrows.
"It's the fourth elder." Bei Junyi replied.
"Your surname is Bei, how come you are not Elder Bei?"
Bei Junyi shook his head slightly and said, "Fellow Daoist Lin, please call me Fourth Elder."
Lin Ji couldn't understand why the other party insisted on such a trivial matter, but after all, he was a Taoist monk, so Lin Ji decided to respect the other party.
"The inexplicable frost on Lin's body is Elder Bei's trick, right? But it's really difficult to kill Lin with this frost."
"The second elder died at your hands, so naturally I am no match for you." Bei Junyi said calmly.
Lin Ji was alert in his heart, but his face remained calm.
"So why do you dare to show up so openly? You should have heard of Lin's methods."
"I've heard of it, and they say that your path of cause and effect is extremely weird. As long as you catch me in your cause and effect, you will never be able to escape your pursuit. And some people speculate that maybe you can use it to
Some methods similar to curses are used based on cause and effect. In short, it is impossible to prevent it."
Bei Junyi chuckled and continued: "I often communicate with many Taoist monks in the Far North and Yunzhou, and I also know a lot of news in Jiuzhou. Lin Ji, many Taoist friends regard you as a trouble, for fear of being with you.
I have nothing to do with you, and I don’t want to be your enemy."
Lin Ji had heard similar words from people who entered the Taoist realm in the Eternal Life Palace, but they were no longer new.
"In that case, how about Lin and fellow Taoist getting along peacefully and waiting for the winner to be decided over there?" Lin Ji suggested, "Anyway, the outcome of your victory or defeat will not affect the overall situation. When the dust settles over there, fellow Taoist
He is still in full swing, so it is more convenient to stay or leave."
"Your suggestion is good, but it's unnecessary." Bei Junyi bowed and said, "For the Holy Fire, the sect has been planning for too long and has made too much effort. Now is the critical moment and we cannot fall short."
Hearing this, Lin Ji was a little dissatisfied and said: "You know you will lose, but you still take action?"
"Is your arm healed?" Bei Junyi asked.
Lin Ji's expression froze, and there was a slight gloominess on his face.
"If Lin is not mistaken, fellow Taoist disciples are only in the early stages of entering Taoism."
"Tao Tu enters the Tao, that's all." Bei Junyi sighed, "The Holy Fire is my only hope."
"Lin is not even afraid of monks who have entered the late stages of Taoism. Isn't Elder Bei afraid of losing his life?"
"You are fierce in appearance and weak in heart, so your arm is not healed yet."
"Lin is not in his prime, but killing you is enough."
"Is one against two enough?"
"What's enough?!"
In an instant, Lin Ji suddenly felt a sense of detachment in his heart.
It's not like nothingness under the holy fire, but like something or some ability has been taken away.
And soon, he understood what exactly happened.
Because he felt the cold, the spiritual power that protected his body was gone.
He looked around, and it was clear that the spiritual energy between heaven and earth was still there, but it was no longer attracted by his soul.
He felt a little pain, which was caused by frostbite and frost on his arm.
A monk who has entered the Taoist realm has frostbite on his arms.
It was a normal joke, but Lin Ji couldn't laugh.
Because another figure appeared next to Bei Junyi.
