Perhaps influenced by Kong Laosan's unusually calm mood, Jiang Li'er, who originally seemed restless, suppressed the anxiety in her heart, forced herself to calm down, straightened out her thoughts, and slowly began to narrate.
In the mountain col, the bonfire was mixed with the breeze. Except for Jiang Li'er's intermittent and somewhat sad voice, there were only two occasional "crackling" sounds from the fire. The huge mountain col seemed a bit empty.
At first, Jiang Lier's voice was relatively calm, but later, perhaps affected by the painful memories, her originally clean face gradually became covered with tears, her voice choked with sobs several times, and she could not even speak a complete sentence.
Even Kong Laosan seemed to be affected by this sentiment. Although his face remained calm and relaxed, the fists in his sleeves were clenched unconsciously.
After Jiang Lier's mood stabilized, Kong Laosan said softly, "So, the Holy Demon Sect's large-scale arrest of human cultivators has already betrayed the human race? Why do those from the Holy Demon Sect go around arresting human cultivators?
By?"
Kong Laosan said, a trace of doubt flashed between his eyebrows.
"It is said that it was to make a deal with the demon clan. When the Jiuli Sect was destroyed, an elder in the sect managed to escape with serious injuries. Later, this elder took the risk and sneaked into the Holy Demon Sect to find out the news personally. Unfortunately, that senior
I only had time to spread the news before I was discovered by the Holy Demon Sect, and I don’t know whether I am dead or alive now.”
Jiang Li'er said, her voice a little low.
"trade?"
Kong Laosan chewed these two words in his mouth. Although he was still a little confused, he understood a lot.
"Including our Poyun Sect, seven or eight large and small human settlements have been destroyed by the Holy Demon Sect. Some cultivators who were lucky enough to escape once went to the Three Holy Islands to seek help, but no news came back.
, the reason why we gathered here this time is to discuss countermeasures and prepare to find opportunities to rescue the people in the sect, but for some reason the news leaked, and even Senior Brother Cheng...
If it hadn't been for that senior's rescue, I'm afraid I would have died long ago."
Speaking of Senior Brother Cheng, Jiang Li'er felt sad again. Kong Laosan had some vague impressions of Senior Brother Cheng, and the young playmate who had always been by Li'er's side flashed through his mind unconsciously.
"What are your plans for the future?"
After a moment of silence, Kong Laosan slowly spoke, with no hint of joy or anger in his voice.
"No matter what, I must rescue my grandfather."
After saying that, Jiang Li'er seemed to have thought of something and hesitated for a moment before saying, "Senior Brother Kong...Senior Brother Kong, what is your relationship with the senior who saved me?"
"That... is my uncle from the family, he can also be considered as my master uncle. By the way, I think there is someone else you need to meet."
After hearing what Jiang Li'er said, Kong Laosan thought about it for a moment, and finally seemed to have made a decision. As he spoke, an idea came to his mind, but within half a cup of tea, two figures, an old man and a young man, came flying from a distance.
Seeing the old man's face, Jiang Li'er hurriedly stood up and bowed respectfully, "Thank you, senior, for saving your life. I'll go down to Jiang Li'er and I will definitely repay him if I have the opportunity in the future."
"There is no need for this. Since we are my nephew's junior sister, we are family, so you are welcome."
Kong Fei said expressionlessly, and a hint of gratitude flashed across Jiang Li'er's face. Just as he was about to say something more, he raised his eyes, but was stunned on the spot, with a pair of beautiful eyes staring at the old man's back.
That figure couldn't say a word, his face alternated between blue and white, and there was a hint of extreme anger in his eyes.
"Senior Brother Wen?"
At this moment, Jiang Li'er finally recognized Wen Hao, the genius disciple of the Po Yun Sect. However, at the same time as Jiang Li'er spoke, Kong Laosan's voice came softly from behind, "This Wen Hao was the original disciple of the Po Yun Sect."
I already know what Yun Zong did, what you see in front of you is just a skin, and the soul of Wen Hao who moved Yun Zong has been completely destroyed."
Hearing this, the original hatred in Jiang Li'er's eyes gradually disappeared. She glanced at Wen Hao doubtfully. For Kong Laosan, Jiang Li'er had an unreasonable trust in her heart. Even she said
It's unclear where this trust comes from.
After a long time, Kong Laosan sighed softly, "Well, I can be regarded as a disciple of the Poyun Sect after all. Since you have already made a decision, I will help you. Before that, I'd better take care of your body first. I'll let Master
Uncle, let’s go find out the news first.”
"You guys fix it here first, and I'll go investigate."
After hearing what Kong Laosan said, Kong Fei nodded, said something, and turned into a stream of light and flew away towards the outside of the mountain col.
Twenty years ago, Jiang Li'er, who had already reached the early stage of foundation building when Kong Laosan left, had already reached the late stage of foundation building now. Perhaps it was due to the sufferings in recent years and the pressure of the sect being destroyed.
Jiang Li'er, who was extremely talented, had not made any progress in several years, and her realm was still at the late stage of foundation building. Thinking of this, Kong Laosan felt a little sad.
In seven days, with the help of the elixirs prepared by Kong Laosan, and Jiang Lier's special recovery methods, Ben's injuries were almost completely healed.
Taking advantage of this period of time, Kong Fei, the ancestor of Jindan, also gradually understood some things clearly.
"Have you thought about it? If we go there, we will have a narrow escape from death. Why don't you go to Sansheng Island first? After rescuing Elder Jiang, we will join you!"
In the col, Kong Laosan said, looking at the rather stubborn Jiang Li'er in front of him with a frown, looking like he had a headache.
"Senior brother, there is no need to persuade me anymore. I must go with you no matter what."
"In this case, as we agreed, you must listen to me on the road. If you encounter danger, you must first ensure your own safety."
Kong Laosan said, seeing the latter nodding, he stopped hesitating, gave a low drink, his whole body turned into light, and galloped away into the distance, followed closely by Jiang Li'er.
After a day and night, the two stopped in a relatively remote valley. The valley in front of them was quite desolate. Except for some sparse trees, there were only some large bluestones piled up randomly.
Just as Jiang Li'er was looking around and sizing up her surroundings, Kong Fei and the others came closer at some point. In their hands, a black ball of light the size of an egg was floating quietly. A figure could be vaguely seen in it.
The roar changes into various shapes, but no matter how hard the figure struggles, it cannot break through the limitations of the light ball.
Seeing Kong Laosan, Kong Fei waved his palm lightly, and the ball of light landed in front of Kong Laosan.
Kong Laosan was not polite. With a thought, the majestic power of spiritual thoughts extended from the center of his eyebrows and towards the ball of light in front of him.
After a cup of tea, Kong Laosan withdrew his spiritual thoughts, and at the same time gently held his palm, and the light ball was annihilated into nothingness like water bubbles.
"In that case, we can just wait here and wait for the cultivators from the Holy Demon Sect to come here and find an opportunity to sneak in. But where is the origin of the Biao clan?"
Kong Laosan muttered a few words softly, and as soon as his voice fell, Jiang Li'er, who had been paying attention to Kong Laosan's movements, said softly, "The Biao clan? I have seen this several times in the sect's classics a few years ago.
The Biao clan originally belonged to the top group of the demon clan. It is said that they have the blood of the ancient great demon "Ho". Thirty thousand years ago, there once appeared an amazingly talented "Six-fingered Demon Lord".
The clan has gradually declined and has been suppressed and excluded by other demon kings. Could this matter involve the Biao clan?"
As he spoke, a pair of beautiful eyes stared at Kong Laosan, as if wanting an answer.
Hearing "Six-fingered Demon Lord", Kong Laosan's eyes showed a bit of longing. He felt that the name was very familiar, as if he had heard it somewhere. After a moment, he seemed to think of something, his eyes lit up slightly, but then he
He shook his head and muttered secretly, "It shouldn't have anything to do with Liuzhi Mountain..."
"The Holy Demon Sect captures human cultivators and transports the captured cultivators as goods to the Biao Clan's residence every once in a while. As for the actual transaction between the Holy Demon Sect and the Biao Clan, it is not yet clear. If it is expected, it is good.
If so, Elder Jiang should be among the Biao clan now, and I plan to take this opportunity to sneak in and go to the Biao clan to inquire about it."
If Elder Jiang was not regarded as a relative, Kong Laosan's son would not have done this. After all, Jiang Li'er was different from others. If possible, Kong Laosan still wanted to help, so it was settled.
A matter of cause and effect, a life for a life.
Thinking of this, Kong Laosan no longer hesitated and started to make preparations.
"Senior Brother Kong, thank you. If there is a chance in the future, I, Jiang Li'er, will repay you even if I am a cow or a horse."
Hearing what Kong Laosan said, Jiang Lier's eyes sparkled. It was only at this moment that Jiang Lier truly accepted this fellow martial uncle whom she had never seen since childhood.
