As soon as Yang Lu opened his eyes, he saw an incredibly beautiful face right in front of him.
It turned out that Li Qingning saw him "falling asleep" while standing and was checking on him. However, because the distance between the two of them was so close, Yang Lu could even feel Miss Li's hot breath on his face.
Originally, Yang Lu's consciousness was completely immersed in the virtual sky environment, and there was nothing wrong with the two people's postures. However, when Yang Lu opened his eyes, this posture seemed too ambiguous, as if Miss Li took the initiative to lie down.
Give a kiss like that!
Yang Lu suddenly woke up here, which also startled Li Qingning who was close to Chi Chi. She seemed to have accidentally stepped on a high-voltage wire and jumped several meters away with a "whoosh".
Seeing Miss Li running away with a blushing face, Yang Lu couldn't help but smacked his lips in regret.
Although the two of them had had close contact before the start of the extraterritorial battlefield, it was because Li Qingning was at his most vulnerable moment and felt that he might not be able to pass this test, so he let Yang Lu take advantage of it.
Now, let alone copying the miracle of hitting four home runs in the past, Yang Lu could make Li Qingning run away even if he mentioned this matter slightly. He could only wait until he left the overseas battlefield before trying to find a way to get through.
Noticing Yang Lu's burning gaze, Li Qingning explained calmly: "I saw that you suddenly fell asleep standing up, and I just wanted to see what happened. Don't get me wrong..."
Yang Lu smiled and said indifferently: "How long have we slept just now?"
Li Qingning thought for a while: "Probably less than two minutes."
It seems that what Murong said is indeed correct. The time flow rate in Xutian Illusion Realm is really only one percent of the outside world!
If it were normal times, Yang Lu would have continued to tease Miss Li, but Murong also looked over at this time, which made Yang Lu feel like he was trapped in a Shura field, but he didn't say anything about the teasing.
exit.
So he could only laugh twice and forcefully change the subject: "By the way, Murong, although you are very strong, there were a total of twenty late-stage Qi Refining monks working together to besiege you. How did you last under their control for so long?
"
After hearing this question, Li Qingning also showed an interested look. After all, even she herself did not have the confidence to defeat the joint attack of ten monks of the same level. However, Murong, with his mere seventh-level cultivation of Qi Refining, actually let Yang Lu twenty
It took more than ten minutes of siege by many subordinates who cooperated tacitly to capture it. Even considering the power of the Wuliang Sword Sect's top killing moves, this strength is somewhat incredible.
Murong replied with some embarrassment: "Actually... I'm not quite sure of the reason."
If someone else had given such a perfunctory answer, Li Qingning would have lost his temper a long time ago, but Murong is the kind of girl with a well-behaved personality, which makes Li Qingning always subconsciously speculate in the best direction about the other person.
Therefore, Miss Li asked very patiently: "Can you roughly describe the situation at that time?"
Murong nodded and said: "I can't tell you exactly. Ever since I got the Qiankun Ring, I feel like I have something special in me. According to Mr. Yang, it seems that it should be called [Protagonist Halo].
!”
"Protagonist halo?"
Even Yang Lu, who had experienced many battles, couldn't help but look at each other with Li Qingning after hearing this explanation.
Seeing the confused expressions on Yang Lu and Li Qingning's faces, Murong smiled awkwardly and said, "I know this statement is very outrageous, but I do have a feeling that even the heavens seem to be protecting me.
.To give you the simplest example, do you know why Lin Jianxing strictly protects me?"
Yang Lu and Li Qingning both shook their heads and said they didn't know.
"That's because I heard that the killer of Heyu Pavilion assassinated me!" Mentioning the thrilling scene of the assassination, Murong was also a little concerned, "The killer was a foundation-building period outer sect deacon of the Wuliang Sword Sect. He should be
He received huge sums of money from foreign forces and even sacrificed his own life to get rid of me, a disciple of the Holy Spiritual Root. This person’s plan was very thorough and he specially accepted an errand from a sect who could get close to me in a logical way, and prepared to practice in my place.
At that time, I burst out and attacked. But just when he took action, the ultimate move of the Wuliang Sword School that I practiced suddenly went wrong. I just hit a sword energy and blocked the opponent's killing blow by a few centimeters. Waiting for him
When he wanted to take action again, the elders of the division had already arrived and controlled him."
Yang Lu and Li Qingning looked at each other and said in disbelief: "Is this just a coincidence?"
Facing the two people's doubts, Murong shook his head and said: "I thought it was a coincidence at first, but then there were more and more coincidences like this, and they always helped me at critical moments. For example, in the battle just now, those people who besieged me
, the magic weapons often bump into each other inexplicably, and the killing moves I launch casually can always interrupt their long-awaited cooperation. Those non-locking spells always rub my body and go out. If not, I would not resist it at all.
If you don’t live for that long…”
Murong never narrated things like Li Qingning did.
Hearing her very sure tone that she had the aura of the protagonist, Yang Lu felt a little excited.
Could it be said that the greatest function of the Qiankun Ring is not to bring about the illusion of heaven, but to provide luck blessing to the owner?
Recalling that the Ringwraith once mentioned "sons of the plane", even Yang Lu, who had never believed in metaphysics, was a little shaken.
Murong saw that Yang Lu was lost in thought again, and continued: "Mr. Yang, if the Qiankun Ring can increase the holder's luck, then you can try injecting magic into it. Even if it doesn't work, I can use the Qiankun Ring to real-time
View your location."
Yang Lu was thinking about the problem at this time, and injected spiritual energy into the Qiankun Ring without thinking.
But when he saw the Qiankun Ring glowing white, he seemed to suddenly remember something, and asked quickly: "As long as I inject mana into the Qiankun Ring, you can check my location at any time? So you can also check Lin Jianxing's location now?
"
Murong didn't know why Yang Lu suddenly asked this, and carefully answered: "Theoretically, it is true. I can check the relative distance between all of us at any time, but don't worry, I will definitely not monitor you and you all the time.
Miss Qingning’s!”
After saying that, Murong waved his hand slightly and used magic power to write several names in the air. These names were all connected with silk threads, and there was a number on each silk thread.
Among them, the numbers on the lines connecting Yang Lu, Li Qingning, and Murong were all in single digits, which seemed to mean that the three of them were gathering together, with a distance of less than ten meters. However, the lines connecting Lin Jianxing and the three of them clearly read
With a ridiculously large number:
6878254718!
Since the weights and measures of the Jiuzhou cultivation world are highly similar to those of the earth, that is to say, Lin Jianxing is currently nearly 7 million kilometers away from them. Considering that the diameter of the Jiuzhou planet is only tens of thousands of kilometers, is this extraterrestrial battlefield still an alien planet?
If the extraterritorial battlefield is on an alien planet, this also explains why no cultivator has ever found the location of the extraterritorial battlefield.
But Yang Lu looked up at the satellite in the sky called the Ancient Heaven, and couldn't help but doubt his guess. If the extraterritorial battlefield was really an alien planet, why did the position of the Ancient Heaven not change?
However, these random thoughts only lasted for a moment, and Yang Lu soon realized a more serious problem: "Murong, can you make the Qiankun Ring forget my existence?"
Murong suddenly showed a troubled expression: "Anyone registered by the Qiankun Ring seems to be unable to be erased. I was afraid that Lin Jianxing would find out that I was following him, so I tried to let the Qiankun Ring erase him as a registered person, but the Qiankun Ring
But it said that I don’t have enough permissions to perform this operation.”
Upon hearing this statement, Yang Lu's face instantly turned green.
He is not an emotional fool, so he can naturally see Murong's feelings for him.
Since Murong can now check their location at any time, if Murong wants to contact him one day and finds that the distance between Miss Li and him is zero, the scene will be so beautiful.
Even if his luck was worse, Murong might still be able to see the distance between Miss Li and him being negative...
Just when the atmosphere at the scene became a little awkward, Fu Hao suddenly rushed over alone in the light.
Seeing Yang Lu glaring at the two beauties, Fu Hao thought he had come at the wrong time, so he shouted "I didn't see anything" and was about to turn around and leave.
However, Yang Lu seemed to have grasped a life-saving straw and ordered loudly: "Fellow Daoist Fu, please tell me something!"
Fu Hao, who was forcibly named, was forced to lower his escape light and honestly reported the situation: "Advisor Yang, we just captured another cultivator from the Qingyang Sect. This guy escaped from the east using the escape light.
According to what he said, the demonic tide has covered us not far to the east, and the guy even saw the figure of the devil on the edge of the demonic tide!"
The demonic tide is the poisonous circle on the battlefield outside the territory.
If ordinary practitioners fall into the demonic tide for too long, the demonic energy will enter their body and become possessed, and they will become a demon without any sense. This kind of demon is no different from the demon that Kyushu cultivators turn into by accumulating too much karma.
.
If you were in the world of Kyushu cultivation, everyone would be ecstatic when they saw a demon. Because the merit gained by getting rid of this kind of demon is very high, and you can even use "the merit of being able to walk" to describe these demons.
But the battlefield outside the territory is different.
The battlefield outside the territory is a place infiltrated by the devil's heavenly ways, which means that this place is equivalent to the home of the devil, and the cultivators are the outsiders.
After ordinary cultivators degenerate into mindless demons, their own strength will be improved to a higher level. If they are assisted by the ubiquitous magic mist, some demons transformed by cultivators in the later stage of Qi refining can even rival the foundation in combat effectiveness.
Considering that cultivators outside the battlefield can only reach the Dzogchen realm of Qi refining at most, the danger of this kind of demon is self-evident.
Fortunately, this kind of demon has no sanity. As long as ordinary monks run fast enough, there will be no problem, and the other party will not chase after him. This is why the Qingyang Sect monk who was captured by Fu Hao just now can escape with his car.
Light ran away without any scruples.
Yang Lu's team is working hard to harvest merit, so there is no need to confront such a demon head-on.
Therefore, Yang Lu immediately ordered: "Fellow Daoist Fu, it seems that the work of capturing prisoners must be put aside for a while. You must gather all our people immediately. We must prepare to retreat to the west."
Fu Hao saw that the atmosphere at the scene was not right and hurriedly followed the order and left.
There is a seven-person rule in management, which states that the management radius of an organization manager should not exceed seven people. If one person manages a team of more than seven people, it will be difficult to coordinate everyone's actions.
Although there is no such summary in the world of cultivation, cultivators can also subconsciously realize that this pattern exists. When Xi Ziang tried to coordinate everyone to launch a rebellion, Yang Lu's team had exactly seven members.
Now that the total number of Yang Lu team members has reached more than 20, great difficulties have also arisen in management, forcing Yang Lu to appoint Xi Ziang and Fu Hao as middle managers.
Although Fu Hao had tried his best to organize everyone to gather, it still took more than half an hour to gather all the team members who were lying in ambush within a radius of dozens of miles.
And when everyone was preparing to retreat collectively, the demonic tide in the distance had already appeared on the horizon.
Yang Lu also saw the legendary demonic tide for the first time.
This is a huge tide of rich red mist that is like a sandstorm. It is as thick as a city wall and slowly advances forward. Although its moving speed cannot keep up with the monk's escape light, it is still faster than the walking speed of ordinary monks. It is not a problem to advance three to four hundred miles per day.
As the demonic tide continued to advance, cultivators in the distance were oppressed by the demonic tide from time to time, and they set up escape lights and fled quickly.
As for why there are no cultivators escaping light nearby...
Mainly because the cultivators who were relatively close to Yang Lu were almost wiped out by Yang Lu's gang!
According to Liu Xiahui's original confession, the monks who had a blood feud with the Lingshi Reserve Bank dispatched a total of more than 60 masters with musk fairy rats to hunt Li Qingning. So far, Yang Lu's team has killed the musk fairy rats.
The total number of cultivators in the area is close to fifty. If you include those who accidentally overturned in other places, it can even be said that almost all the cultivators hostile to Li Qingning in the entire outer battlefield have been wiped out!
After taking a final look at the approaching demonic tide, Yang Lu waved his hand and led his men to retreat collectively.
The escape of a group of people was vast, like a long river of light and shadow, and in order to take care of Yang Lu, the core leader who only had the fourth level of Qi Refining, everyone moved at a slow pace. It looked like an armed parade on an extraterrestrial battlefield.
Through Wu Neng's Pleiades, Yang Lu was also remotely observing the movements of the surrounding cultivators.
After noticing the ostentatious behavior of Yang Lu's gang, the passing cultivators took the initiative to retreat in all directions, for fear of encountering an unreasonable disaster. Their reaction was even more exaggerated than seeing the demonic tide. This caused the entire team to form a circle of about twenty miles in radius.
of no man's land.
By observing the escaping light of the lone wolf monks around him, Yang Lu discovered that the intensity of the battle in the outer battlefield was indeed not high.
Under the pressure of the demonic tide, although a large number of cultivators were forced to escape using the escape light, even if their escape light was so close that they were face to face, few would take the initiative to provoke a fight. In most cases,
Both parties will pass each other in a very tacit understanding and take the initiative to leave in the opposite direction, rather than taking the opportunity to fight to the death with the other party.
Whether it was the large-scale siege that Li Qingning encountered or the crazy hunting operations of Yang Lu's team, it was not a normal phenomenon in the battlefield outside the territory. It was obviously the norm for the interpersonal relationships among the trialists in the battlefield outside the territory.
