Under the starry sky on a moonlit night, Su Anran and others were resting around a bonfire.
When he was on Earth, Su Anran was not a person who liked traveling, nor could he like activities such as mountain climbing and hiking. Therefore, he had never been able to understand what it was like to use the sky as a quilt and the earth as a bed.
Feel.
But now, he somewhat understands.
Looking at the vast starry sky and feeling the natural scent of vegetation can indeed give people a sense of comfort.
Especially under the huge pressure of life in big cities, the comfortable and relaxing feeling of nature in the wild makes people feel more energetic, and there is a sense of transparency all over the body, which is very stress-relieving.
Even Su Anran's vague feeling of anxiety gradually disappeared.
"Miss Qingyu, thank you very much just now." A middle-aged man said thank you, and the respectful look on his face was not fake, "However, Taoist Yunming's injury is a bit serious. Although the deterioration of the injury has been temporarily suppressed, we should still do it as soon as possible.
Send him back."
Qingyu nodded: "It should be... But we are now considered exhausted and it is not appropriate to continue on the road. Let's rest here for the time being. We will go to the nearest town immediately tomorrow morning... Have you contacted your family?
?”
The middle-aged man's name is Nan Fengqing. He is a descendant of the Nanfeng family and the same generation as Nan Fengjie.
He is a late bloomer in the family. Now he has reached the sixth level of the Immortal Realm, which is equivalent to a half-step foundation in the Mysterious Realm. However, because the monks in the Tianyuan Secret Realm can use the power of law earlier than the Mysterious Realm monks, in terms of combat,
The performance is actually slightly better.
But in the Tianyuan Secret Realm, there is still a big difference between the sixth realm and the seventh realm. The most important point is the so-called "Yang Shen" theory.
However, in front of Su Anran and others, these are nothing worth paying attention to. Anyway, they are just slapped to death.
Nan Fengyi asked Nan Fengqing to lead Su Anran and others because he actually took a fancy to the fact that the other party was more stable and cautious.
Say less and make fewer mistakes, don’t say anything wrong, work hard and do your duty faithfully.
This is talking about people like Nan Fengqing.
The other one, Taoist Yunming, is a disciple from the Kunlun Sect.
Da Kunlun's martial arts cultivator was at the peak of the seventh realm of immortality, only half a step away from the eighth realm.
Because he feels that he is a genius, he has a bit of arrogance about him.
He and Nan Fengqing have been together so far, but he has never given Nan Fengqing a good look. This is because he thinks that Nan Fengqing is not as strong as him, has no "future", and is not worthy of being associated with him, so naturally he is too lazy to maintain a relationship with Nan Fengqing.
Relationship. Even when they first met Su Anran and others, they didn't have a good face, especially when they found that Qingyu's strength was not as good as that of Nan Fengqing, and they even looked like "the boss of heaven and I are the second child"——
In his eyes, Su Anran and others are just guards. No matter how strong the guards are, it is meaningless because they have no status, so they simply regard Su Anran and others as nothing.
That would be fine if it was just like this, but this person still felt that "Although Qingyu is not strong enough, her status must be high and she is qualified to marry him".
Then, he was taught how to be a good person by Su Anran.
Even this time, Taoist Yunming was seriously injured because Su Anran deliberately delayed the opportunity to save him - if Qingyu hadn't indicated that this person could not die here, Su Anran would not even be in the mood to save him.
What the hell?
Nan Fengqing naturally knew all of this, but he gave full play to the principle of "don't say it's true" and only saw through it without telling it off.
"Already contacted." Nan Fengqing nodded, "The closest to here is Yunzhou City in Dahe Kingdom. Our Nanfeng family does not have any merchants here, but the war is now tense, so after my message is returned,
, the family will definitely ask the Qiyuan family to rescue first through the court. It is estimated that the result will not be available until tomorrow afternoon at the earliest after passing the matter back and forth, so we may have to stay in Yunzhou City for two to three days."
"It's been too long." Su Anran said softly.
"Combining work and rest." Qingyu had a different view and replied.
It sounded like he was appeasing his own bodyguard.
But Su Anran knew that Qingyu's words meant that she was also tired and needed a rest.
Since they negotiated terms with Nan Fengyi, they have been traveling around Beiling for the past month.
So far, they have wiped out four first-generation parasite nests - they had just solved the third first-generation parasite and completely wiped out its nest. Then, before they had time to rest, Taoist Yunming encountered a surprise attack. With Su
An Ran and others are naturally capable of rescue, but the Little Butcher and Song Baiye must expose some secrets. This is not the result that Su Anran and Qing Yu want, so naturally they will not let these two people take action.
Su Anran could rescue him, but he didn't like Taoist Yunming, so he was deliberately slow for a moment.
It was at this moment that Taoist Yunming was severely damaged and his foundation was damaged. If there is no chance in the future, he may not even be able to save the seventh realm. And after this person knew the result - Su Anran only gave
He took some basic medicine to suppress the injury, and then told him mercilessly that his future was hopeless. So he became so angry that he aggravated the injury. The little butcher immediately clapped his hands and told the other person: It's over now, and he may be the seventh in a row.
He could no longer maintain his condition, and then he fainted.
The injury worsened quite seriously.
Therefore, several people had to temporarily stop searching for the parasite's nest and instead headed for the nearest town.
However, Taoist Yunming's attack also exposed the fourth first-generation parasite, so Su Anran and others followed the clues to find the opponent's lair, and wiped it out neatly. It was also in this battle that Su Anran and others found the opponent's lair.
An Ran and others realized that they had been targeted by these first-generation parasites - the other party had mastered some kind of memory sharing method that Su Anran and others could not understand. Therefore, these parasites that had infiltrated into Beiling had discovered Su Anran.
and others were carrying out counter-annihilation operations against them, so these parasites decided to strike first and launched a siege against Su Anran and others.
The attack on Taoist Yunming was just the beginning.
After everyone stayed all night, they set off immediately at dawn the next day.
Yunzhou City is not far from here, and several people arrived there in less than half a day.
However, it is estimated that the Nanfeng family has just received the news sent back by Nan Fengqing. They have to wait until the Nanfeng family sends it back to the court, and then the court will contact them. There will definitely be another round of wrangling and discussion. If they can do it before nightfall tonight
Getting the news and asking the Qiyuan family's merchants in Yunzhou City to assist can be regarded as a highly efficient result.
The so-called resident merchant is a unique saying here in Beiling.
Because although the Northern Tang Dynasty did not control the countries in Beiling in name, in fact all the countries in Beiling were supported by different families of the Northern Tang Dynasty. They allied with each other vertically and horizontally, so different families controlled different countries in Beiling.
They all have different influences, so the term "resident businessman" was born.
On the surface, this statement means that a large family has opened a shop here and is responsible for the collection, purchase and transportation routes of various resources, but in fact it is also a symbol of strength and a hint of authority: for example, the Great Crane Country, the Nanabahara Family,
The Tuoba family has merchants stationed there, which means that this country is a secret struggle between the Qiyuan family and the Tuoba family, both of which are trying to bring this country under their control.
As for Yunzhou City, there are only merchants from the Qiyuan family here, which means that the Qiyuan family has achieved complete control over Yunzhou City.
Under normal circumstances, Nan Fengqing would definitely not enter Yunzhou City, not even thinking of getting close, just to avoid unnecessary misunderstandings and troubles. But now because the matter involves disciples of the Kunlun Sect, so
Nan Fengqing could only bring people here to settle down, but the whole story must be explained clearly to the family, and then the clan elder or head of the family would come forward to get the Qiyuan family to work together through the court.
But because there was no reply from the Qiyuan family yet, Nan Fengqing did not dare to come to the door rashly, so he could only take a few people to a large local inn and rent a large courtyard.
Taoist Yunming has fallen into a coma and is naturally unable to contact the Kunlun Sect.
Su Anran and others will not take care of this person, so only Nan Fengqing is responsible for taking care of him.
At this moment, Su Anran and others gathered together, and then Qingyu set up a magic circle to prevent peeping and snooping.
"You are impulsive." Qingyu said to Su Anran, but she did not see any unhappy look on her face.
"Why can't you kill him?" Su Anran frowned.
"Killing him will be very troublesome." Qingyu put away her smile, and then sighed, "If we kill him, we will cause conflicts with that Kunlun sect. The Northern Tang Dynasty definitely does not want to see this scene. After all, it will
At that time, they didn’t know who to help... If we weren’t looking for the Soul-Splitting Demonic Mountain Spider, then it wouldn’t matter, but now that the Soul-Splitting Demonic Mountain Spider has been developing in this world for such a long time, we can only rely on ourselves to take action.
Otherwise, things will be very troublesome, so we need to borrow their power to help."
Su Anran curled her lips: "You say it as if there will be no trouble now... Even if he died, it was not us who killed him, but the parasites. It has nothing to do with us."
"This is a fig leaf." Qingyu sighed, "Whether we kill him or those parasites kill him, the Kunlun Sect and the Northern Tang Dynasty are not fools. Something will definitely happen. After all, we have three land gods here.
.But if he is not dead but only injured, then there is a lot of room for maneuver here. At least the Northern Tang Dynasty will definitely not say anything. At most, it will just be some dispute between us and the Kunlun Sect."
Su Anran sighed, and finally understood Qingyu's thoughts.
The Arctic Ice Territory is extremely vast. If only a few of them want to find the hidden Soul-Splitting Demonic Mountain Spider, they still don’t know how long it will take. Even if the entire Taiyi Sect is sent out to search, they may not be able to find it. Moreover, these parasites
The strength of the body is not weak now, and there are not many strong people in the Taiyi Sect, so it is very likely that it will be sent to the Soul-Splitting Demon Mountain Spider instead.
Therefore, it is necessary to rely on the power of the Northern Tang Dynasty.
As for the Kunlun Sect, you can ignore it, but given the current situation where the Kunlun Sect and the Northern Tang Dynasty are on the same side, the Northern Tang Dynasty still has to take some care of its face.
Therefore, Taoist Yunming can be seriously injured, but he cannot die.
Of course, the Kunlun Sect will definitely be very unhappy after this, and may even find excuses to attack, but this is the dispute between Su Anran and others and the Kunlun Sect. After all, Nan Fengqing serves as a witness, proving that Su Anran and others did rescue them.
Then this has nothing to do with the Northern Tang Dynasty - the Kunlun Sect and the Northern Tang Dynasty have a cooperative relationship, and Su Anran and Qingyu also represent Taiyi Sect's cooperation with the Northern Tang Dynasty, so Su Anran and others have already come to the rescue
, then naturally we can’t say much about the Northern Tang Dynasty.
As for why the rescue was delayed, there are many explanations. With Qingyu's intelligence, she is definitely not afraid of arguing with the other party.
This is also the reason why Qingyu asked Su Anran to save people.
"Then what if the Kunlun faction wants to come back to save face?" Su Anran asked.
"The Kunlun Sect is definitely not that stupid." Qing Yu said, "But if they are really that stupid, then we don't have to give them face... The reason why we give face to the Northern Tang Dynasty is just because they have more people.
, it can better help us find the Soul-Splitting Demonic Mountain Spider. If you really want to say that we are afraid of each other, you will definitely not agree."
Su Anran smiled and said nothing more.
Then that night, the business steward of the Qiyuan family in Yunzhou City came to visit.
The person responsible for the business affairs of a country is the deacon.
The person in charge of a city is the steward. And some big countries may have higher-level administrative units such as states and counties to divide the ownership, so several major families in the Northern Tang Dynasty also added an additional title of chief steward.
But whether they are stewards, chief stewards, or deacons, their strength will not be that strong. Usually it is enough to be able to deal with some local troubles.
For example, the merchant manager of the Qiyuan family in Yunzhou City only has the cultivation level of the immortal realm, which is roughly equivalent to the level of the natal realm of the Xuanjie.
The other party probably received a warning from the Qin Yuan family, so he was particularly respectful.
Before he came here, everything had been arranged, so Su Anran and others quickly moved to the merchant's residence. The security here is naturally higher than at the inn, and the environment is obviously more comfortable.
.
Because the Qiyuan family took over the treatment, Taoist Yunming's injury was quickly stabilized.
Three more days passed like this.
The Kunlun sect finally arrived.
And four more people came. The leader was a land immortal, and the other three were all Taoists in the seventh and eighth realms of immortals. They had a very fierce aura, and they were obviously not the kind of people who would only stay in the world.
People from the sect, but monks with considerable practical experience.
However, after seeing Taoist Yunming's injuries, the leader's face looked quite ugly.
