Zhang Mingzhi immediately waved his sleeves and said, "Immediately send someone to secretly protect Hu Bubu. I will not allow any accidents to happen to this disciple!"
There is no way, a genius like Hu Bufu is too rare to find. As long as he doesn't die in the middle, it is very easy to surpass him, the leader of the spiritual void realm!
I heard Han Lue's report earlier, saying that a man in golden clothes from the Overbearing Sect appeared on the way and came to kidnap Hu Bufu. Fortunately, he did not succeed. This also illustrates that their Luo Chan Sect has produced a genius who cultivates immortality with a third-level spiritual root.
, it must have spread among the Ba Dao Sect.
The Ba Dao Sect is definitely not willing to sit back and watch the rise of this genius who cultivates immortality, so they will definitely take all measures to assassinate Hu Bubu.
For this reason, Luo Chan Sect must send personnel to secretly protect Hu Bubu.
"Yes!" The elders all obeyed solemnly.
Then the old man in white robe smiled and said: "What about Xi Zhong?"
Zhang Mingzhi's eyes turned cold and he said: "He's just a useless person. If the Ba Dao Sect wants to kill him, Xi Zhong, then we only need to watch with cold eyes. If Hu Bufu watched his cousin who was as close as brothers being raped by the Ba Dao Sect,
If people are killed, he will only hate the Ba Dao Sect even more, which is a good thing for us. Of course, if the Ba Dao Sect wants to kidnap Xi Zhong and use Xi Zhong as a bargaining chip to threaten Hu Bubu..."
At this time, Zhang Mingzhi made a gesture of wiping his neck with a knife, and then looked at the white-robed old man with a smile, "Elder Li, do you understand what I mean now?"
"I understand." The old man in white robe said with a smile.
At this moment, only the woman in blue had eyes twinkling.
She liked the little girl who came with Xi Zhong very much.
She didn't want anything to happen to that girl.
Thinking of this, she sighed inwardly. It seemed that she had to pay more attention to the situation over there, because the little girl in the province was involved in this dispute.
As for Hu Bufu and Xi Zhong, she didn't have any colds, and it wouldn't matter to her even if they died.
The outer door, the entrance to the back mountain.
"Is this the entrance for us to go into the mountains to collect herbs?" Xi Zhong took Li Ping'er's little hand and asked Gu Mian while holding a small cloth bag.
Gu Mian said with a smile: "Yes, the practice of the two junior brothers and sisters today will start with the simplest medicine collection. Of course, senior brother, I will definitely lead the way."
After saying that, Gu Mian glanced at the hands held by the two people in an extremely hidden way, and a coldness flashed in the depths of her pupils.
Li Ping'er, who was extremely sensitive, shrank back.
Xi Zhong's expression remained unchanged, but secretly he shook Li Ping'er's hand vigorously.
"Let's go." Gu Mian led the way.
Xi Zhong and Li Ping'er followed behind.
Still three steps away.
In the middle, Xi Zhong also picked up a thorny wood branch from the ground.
I don't know why, after Xi Zhong walked into this back mountain, a strange feeling suddenly appeared in his heart. At the same time, his ears were filled with the sound of swords, as if there was a sword trembling gently in his ears.
generally.
Xi Zhong shook his head to get rid of this wonderful feeling.
Along the way, Gu Mian led the way and introduced the situation of the back mountain range.
The back mountain of Qingxiu Mountain, because the mountain range is connected to Luochan Mountain, can be contaminated with a trace of the mountain and water aura from Luo Chan Sect. This mountain and water aura nourishes the roots of the mountain, making the back mountain full of aura and growing many precious herbs.
In order to adhere to the principle of waste, the outer sect sent disciples into the mountains to pick.
Of course, it is not only plants that are nourished by spiritual energy, but also the wild beasts in the mountains are more ferocious because of the spiritual energy, and their bodies are taller and tougher than ordinary beasts of the same kind.
Gu Mian smiled and warned: "Junior Brother Xi Zhong, you must never underestimate the wild beasts in this back mountain. Many disciples from the outer sect were injured here."
"Thank you, Senior Brother Gu, for reminding me. Ping'er and I will pay attention." Xi Zhong smiled and thanked.
The mountain road gradually became rugged, and the natural mountain road trampled by the predecessors gradually became blurred. Xi Zhong and others had no choice but to cut through thorns.
On the way, he met many fellow disciples. Xi Zhong greeted them with a smile, but they didn't even raise their heads.
Xi Zhong was sensitive to the hint of hostility among these outer disciples.
But Xi Zhong knew that this hostility was not directed at him and Xiao Ping'er, but at Gu Mian.
At the same time, Xi Zhong saw sharply that when Gu Mian saw these outer disciples, a cruel sneer appeared on the corner of his mouth.
It seems that these are old disciples from the outer sect who have been bullied.
Along the way, perhaps because too many disciples came to pick, the harvest was poor.
Gu Mian suddenly stopped at this moment.
Xi Zhong looked at him doubtfully.
Gu Mian smiled and said: "I suddenly remembered that there were urgent matters that needed to be dealt with, so the road led here. Junior Brother Xi Zhong, please continue moving forward. You should not get lost."
After saying that, without waiting for Xi Zhong and Li Ping'er to react, they actually turned around and left, and their speed was not slow on this rugged mountain road.
Xi Zhong's lips twitched, but he didn't say anything to stop him.
Had no choice but to move on.
Because before coming here, Manager Zhang said that the sect has strict rules. If the two of you cannot collect six Spirit-Gathering Grasses, there will be no dinner tonight.
So far, Xi Zhong and Xiao Ping'er have only collected three Spirit-Gathering Grasses.
By this time, the sun was almost setting.
Xi Zhong could clearly feel that the back mountain was beginning to be filled with the scent of wild beasts.
"Let's go back." Xi Zhong made a decision immediately.
The sun goes down and wild beasts run rampant. The two of them, who have no cultivation at all, will only be in trouble here.
"Brother Xi Zhong, we only collected three Julingcao plants." Li Ping'er said timidly.
"Although we can't have dinner when we go back like this, it's better than being treated as dinner by wild beasts." After Xi Zhong finished speaking, he began to hold Li Ping'er's little hand and return along the mountain road.
Li Ping'er held a small bag and pursed her lips.
When Xi Zhong and Li Ping'er returned to the entrance, the sun had already set.
What surprised Xi Zhong was that there was a person standing at the entrance.
Gu Mian.
At this time, Gu Mian looked at the two people walking down the mountain with a smile and asked, "Have you finished picking the six spirit-gathering grasses?"
Xi Zhong apologized and said with a smile: "Looking back, senior brother, it's already too late. There are wild beasts everywhere. For safety, I turned back first. I will go up the mountain to pick the remaining three spirit-gathering grasses tomorrow..."
It’s just that Xi Zhong hasn’t finished speaking yet.
Gu Mian's calm expression suddenly turned ferocious, and she suddenly kicked Xi Zhong in the stomach.
Bang!
Xi Zhong was hit hard and flew backwards.
"No!" Li Ping'er's pretty face instantly turned pale, she screamed, and then she quickly ran over to help Xi Zhong.
Xi Zhong, who was suddenly kicked, felt like his stomach was churning!
After all, Gu Mian is a cultivator, and Xi Zhong used Qi Detection Technique to see his state of cultivation before.
Name: Gu Mian.
Cultivation level: fifth level of Qi refining.
According to the comparison of strength, he can barely reach the threshold of a martial arts master.
Xi Zhong stood up with difficulty with the help of Xiao Ping'er, looked at Gu Mian who already had a sneer on his face, forced a smile on his face and asked: "Senior Brother Gu, what is this?"
"What do you think?" Gu Mian's face no longer smiled and he waved his hand.
Then several fellow disciples gathered from the side.
They all looked at Xi Zhong and Li Ping'er with evil intentions.
It seems that this is Gu Mian's accomplice.
Gu Mian's strength is considered to be the best among the outer sects, so he can get along quite well. The few subordinates who follow him are all ordinary disciples of the second to third level of Qi refining.
Xi Zhong's smile gradually disappeared.
He knew that Gu Mian was losing face.
He had actually known for a long time that sooner or later, this Gu Mian would break up with him.
I just never thought that Gu Mian could be so impatient.
Xi Zhong clenched the thorn branch in his hand.
"Hey, you still want to resist?" Gu Mian couldn't help laughing when she saw Xi Zhong holding the branch tightly, "Just you? Or should I just rely on your branch?"
Xi Zhong said nothing, stood up, and held Li Ping'er behind him with a determined look in his eyes.
"Xiao Ping'er, run quickly." Xi Zhong whispered.
The current situation is really the worst.
Besieged on all sides, with no help.
But they probably won't kill themselves.
"No!" Li Ping'er shook her little head crazily.
Xi Zhong frowned, but did not persuade her to leave.
Because at this time Gu Mian was already a little impatient.
It was getting late at this time, and he was too lazy to waste time here, so he waved directly, "Brothers, give it to me!"
The younger brothers received instructions from their elder brother and rushed forward directly.
Facing the charge of those people, Xi Zhong had a heavy expression, gritted his teeth, and faced them, preparing to use the Huashan Sword Technique.
In fact, if Xi Zhong uses Huashan Sword Technique, he can barely deal with one or two second-level Qi Refining disciples.
But there were five people in front of them! And there was Gu Mian who was watching eagerly from behind.
A close encounter is about to begin!
But at this moment.
"You five little bastards, stop it!" came a loud shout.
When Xi Zhong heard this loud shout, his expression became happy and he stopped moving.
Isn't this Huzi's voice?
But Gu Mian's five younger brothers would not stop and continued to charge forward.
Immediately afterwards, Xi Zhong saw a very familiar and strong figure rushing forward, like a mad cow, carrying strong spiritual power, and directly hit the five people.
Bang!
Like Xi Zhong playing bowling in his previous life, the five of them were knocked away by Hu Zi's strong body!
Gu Mian, who had already secured the victory, was stunned when she saw this scene.
Li Ping'er was stunned for a moment, then a smile appeared on her pretty face, and she quickly ran to Xi Zhong's side and held Xi Zhong's hand tightly.
Hu Zi, who had knocked the five people away, turned to look at Xi Zhong and grinned.
"Cousin! I'm here to find you!"
Xi Zhong also had a smile on his face and was about to speak.
"Who are you? You dare to hurt your fellow disciples!" At this time, Gu Mian suddenly spoke out with hatred.
Huzi sneered and raised his fist.
In his eyes, anyone except his cousin can be beaten.
But at this time, Manager Zhang's panicked voice came: "Gu Mian, stop immediately! Then take your people and get out!"
Everyone turned around and saw that it was Manager Zhang who had arrived late.
Gu Mian felt a pinch in her neck and wanted to refute Manager Zhang.
He is not afraid of Manager Zhang, and it is not like he has no backers.
But what Manager Zhang said next made Gu Mian shrink back in an instant.
"He is the direct disciple recently accepted by the sect leader. If you don't get out, you will be responsible for the consequences. Now I say it again, get out! Do you have any objections?!"
