After more than an hour, the group of Xuyang Sect finally finished their rest. They threw the things they needed into the storage ring, stood up from the ground, patted the dirt on their bodies, and continued on to the next town.
Perhaps the memory of being chased by devil vines and running away was too profound. These disciples of Xuyang Sect no longer deliberately isolated Jun Xiaomo and Ye Xiuwen, but spontaneously gathered around them in twos and threes, as if they could be safe this way. The guarantee is the same. From time to time, they glanced nervously at Jun Xiaomo and Ye Xiuwen. After confirming that they were not far away from them, they quietly breathed a sigh of relief and pretended to chat with the people around them as if nothing had happened.
Jun Xiaomo had already noticed this out of the corner of his eye. When another disciple of the Xuyang Sect looked towards her, she glanced at that disciple with a half-smile, causing the disciple to cough dryly and quickly look away.
"Brother Ye, I see, your fellow disciples are all frightened by the devil's vine. They used to treat us like transparent people, but now they are eager to cling to us to feel safe." Jun Xiaomo said He walked to Ye Xiuwen's side and said, with a smile that couldn't be hidden in his eyebrows.
Ye Xiuwen didn't reply, just patted Jun Xiaomo's head gently, but Jun Xiaomo felt inexplicably that the senior brother under the curtain must be smiling gently.
Jun Xiaomo's voice was not quiet, and the Xuyang Sect disciples walking not far from them all touched their noses in embarrassment. They really don't like "Yao Mo", and if possible, they don't want to follow "Yao Mo" and Senior Brother Ye so cowardly.
But as "Yao Mo" said, they are really being chased by the devil's vine. In the face of life-threatening danger, what does personal dignity mean
What's more, even if "Yao Mo" doesn't intend to save them, it's a good thing to follow "Yao Mo" and understand "his" unpredictable attack methods, right? In this way, at least they can be guaranteed to have one more chance of survival.
Qin Lingyu's face didn't look good. He always felt that after this round of fighting, his prestige in the hearts of these Xuyang Sect disciples had been greatly reduced. He is obviously a person who is at the pinnacle of the twelfth level of Qi training, but these people are looking for a person with a first level of Qi training to protect them. This is simply a slap in the face of him, the first disciple of the sect leader!
Ke Xinwen kept watching all this with ridicule. He has not forgotten how Qin Lingyu treated him when he was escaping - he actually activated the toxins in his body and asked him to take the back seat!
Therefore, his hatred for Qin Lingyu is no lower than that for "Yao Mo" and Ye Xiuwen. He even hopes that these three people can fight to the death, and then he can reap the benefits.
It seemed that fate did not intend to take care of Qin Lingyu's mood, but instead wanted to add a few more dark clouds to his gloomy heart. As he walked, Di Le slowly woke up again, because Ye Xiuwen had stuffed it into him. That healing medicine was more effective than Qin Lingyu's, so this time after he woke up, he didn't faint again.
"Huh? Ah Le, are you awake again?" Yi Hong and another disciple carried Di Le forward, and they discovered it as soon as Di Le moved.
Di Le waved his hand, asking them to let him go. After Yi Hong let go of Di Le, Di Le staggered on the ground and finally regained his footing without falling to his knees.
He took out two third-grade healing medicines from his storage ring, drank them, and after driving his spiritual power to digest and absorb them, his spirit recovered a lot.
The third-grade healing medicine is already very effective, but Di Le's injury is too serious. If he doesn't take a dose of strong medicine, it will take years and months to recover. Now that they have not left this small forest, there may still be unknown dangers, etc. Because of them, Di Le was not allowed to take these two elixirs.
Di Le took a long breath. He finally felt that he was alive, although he still had lingering fears every time he thought of the devil's vine.
"Hey, A Le, why did you kneel down to Senior Brother Ye so excitedly just now? Did Senior Brother Ye really save you?" Yi Hong bumped into Di Le's shoulder and asked in disbelief.
Looking at Ye Xiuwen's desolate look, he really didn't look like someone who would save them.
Di Le glanced at Yi Hong with disdain and said, "What kind of tone do you call this? What do you mean by 'really saving me'? How can it be fake!"
"Tsk, tsk, it's hard to imagine. Tell me, how did Senior Brother Ye save you? I always thought it was Yao Mo who saved you."
"Yao Mo? What does this have to do with him?" Di Le frowned. Although he was very grateful to Ye Xiuwen for saving him, "Yao Mo" was an outsider after all, and the impression "Yao Mo" had given him before was really not very good.
What's more, isn't "Yao Mo" at the first level of Qi training? How could he have the ability to save himself
They were not far from Jun Xiaomo, and Jun Xiaomo listened to all their conversations. She turned back and said with a smile: "If Di Le was still in the formation when I killed the Devil's Vine, then he would end up with the same fate as the Devil's Vine now."
The implication is that, like devil's ivy, Di Le will turn into a pile of ashes and become nutrients for the soil.
When the others heard "Yao Mo"'s words, a chill ran up their backs, but Di Le didn't feel anything because he didn't see what happened to the devil's vine in the end.
"What's more, the person who saved him was indeed Brother Ye. You and I are not relatives, and our relationship is not very good. Why should I save you." Jun Xiaomo circled his cheek. Fasi said, "Of course, in the days to come, if you can make me feel happy, or if Brother Ye insists on saving you, I may still reluctantly rescue you."
Everyone: "..." This guy's words are still so annoying!
However, now they no longer dare to underestimate this formation master who has just been promoted to the second level of Qi training, lest he be slapped in the face again in the end.
Di Le's face was full of surprise when he found out that it was "Yao Mo" who killed the Devil Vine, but he quickly forgot about it - after all, even "Yao Mo" said that Devil Vine Although "he" killed Teng, he was saved by Ye Xiuwen.
Di Le walked forward quickly and thanked Ye Xiuwen again: "Brother Ye, thank you for saving my life. I apologize for my disrespectful attitude before. I, Di Le, will definitely follow your orders in the future." Go through fire and water, no matter what!"
Ye Xiuwen said calmly: "You are my team member, so of course I want to save you."
The implication is that if you were not one of my team members, I would not be going to rescue you.
Moreover, only Jun Xiaomo and Ye Xiuwen knew that the reason why Di Le was so seriously injured was because they deliberately delayed the rescue time - Ye Xiuwen also said that he would save Di Le's life, but Di Le was injured. The severity was beyond his consideration.
Di Le's previous attitude was so bad, he should have to suffer a little to be happy.
Poor Di Le didn't even know that he had been tricked by Ye Xiuwen, who had a cold demeanor on the surface but was a bit sinister on the inside. He looked at Ye Xiuwen with great gratitude, as if the other person had become the person he admired the most.
Jun Xiaomo really got goosebumps from seeing Di Le like this - imagine what it would be like to see a man as tall as a bear staring at him like a bright light in his eyes.
Although Jun Xiaomo knew that Di Le was looking at Ye Xiuwen, she was also beside Ye Xiuwen, so she was inevitably "affected" by this gaze.
"Ahem, let's go." Jun Xiaomo took Ye Xiuwen's arm and moved away from the source of sight. Di Le shamelessly followed him.
Yi Hong glanced at his fellow disciples around him awkwardly, thought for a moment, gritted his teeth, and trotted quickly to Di Le's right side, and joined him next to Ye Xiuwen and Jun Xiaomo.
He knows how to assess the situation better than Di Le, a big man who has a straight gut and goes straight. He knew very well that judging from the previous situation, Ke Xinwen and Qin Lingyu might not save him once they encountered danger, because he was not in their group, just like what happened to Di Le.
Therefore, he would rather follow Di Le and get closer to Ye Xiuwen and "Yao Mo". As for calling him "thick-skinned"? Compared to life safety, what does shame mean
Others looked at Di Le and Yi Hong with secretly envious eyes. They were not from Ye Xiuwen's team. If they were the ones to encounter Devil Vine next time, I'm afraid they wouldn't be so lucky.
After learning that Di Le and Yi Hong were assigned to Ye Xiuwen's team, they expressed their sympathy for these two people.
As a result, the situation has changed, and now it should be those who are not in Ye Xiuwen's team who should be "sympathized with", right
Almost everyone else had the words "what a tragedy" written on their faces, except for Ke Xinwen and Qin Lingyu, who disliked Jun Xiaomo and Ye Xiuwen.
Qin Lingyu's face was almost livid, but he usually wore a serious face, and you wouldn't be able to tell this unless you looked carefully.
Ke Xinwen curled up his lips in gloating, lowered his head, and hid the hatred in his eyes.
As expected by Jun Xiaomo, in the following time, they did not encounter any powerful spiritual beasts or spiritual plants. After all, the attack range of the devil vine is about a hundred miles. Within this range, Very few spiritual beasts can survive, and even if they can survive, they probably won't stay in this area - they are annoyed to death by being attacked by devil vines from time to time, so why would they consider staying
"It seems that there is a path ahead!" A disciple of the Xuyang Sect said happily.
Now that there is a small road, it proves that people pass by here frequently, and we should be able to reach the town soon. The people of the Xuyang Sect who had been sleeping in the open for more than ten days couldn't help but feel refreshed and they couldn't help but speed up their pace.
Jun Xiaomo and Ye Xiuwen didn't have great expectations for a comfortable inn, so they just followed them leisurely.
Slowly, more and more people gathered on this road from all over, and they were all heading towards the town.
After another half an hour, a city gate suddenly appeared in their field of vision. There were many people blocking the city gate. At a glance, they were all covered with dense black hair.
"It seems that this town is not small, and it actually has a city gate. By the way, why don't these people go in?" One of the disciples of the Xuyang Sect murmured curiously.
"This town is called 'Xingping Town'. It is very close to the capital of Lieyan Kingdom, so Xingping Town is very well built. Although it is called a 'town', its scale is comparable to that of a small town in a remote place." Jun Xiaomo secretly said to Ye Xiuwen. Ye Xiuwen turned his head and met Jun Xiaomo's shining eyes.
It seems to say "I'm great, right? Please praise me."
Ye Xiuwen chuckled and rubbed Jun Xiaomo's head.
"Wait a minute, wait a minute, everyone, please line up! We will check your identity first before letting you enter the city." Two rows of soldiers in armor stood at the city gate, blocking all those who wanted to enter the town. At the door.
No wonder there was a crowd at the city gate, and everyone was thinking to themselves in unison.
The group of people from the Xuyang Sect did not argue with the soldiers and walked directly to the back of the team.
One of the soldiers quickly discovered this group of people. He walked up to another person who seemed to be the leader and whispered a few words to that person. After the man glanced at the group of people from the Xuyang Sect, he nodded to his subordinates and walked towards Jun Xiaomo and the others.
"Are you a monk?" The commander came up and asked directly.
Everyone in the Xuyang Sect looked at me and I looked at you. I don’t know why this leader asked them if they were cultivators as soon as they came up.
Qin Lingyu clasped his fists at the commander and said, "We are cultivators. I don't know..."
"That's great." The commander was obviously impatient and directly interrupted Qin Lingyu, "Since you are monks, are you interested in doing a bounty mission? This mission was promulgated by our king. After the mission is completed, We in Lieyan Country will definitely thank you all."
"Well... we have to hurry..." One of the disciples of the Xuyang Sect said hesitantly.
"This task is actually not difficult, but we have never met a suitable cultivator to complete it. Moreover, it depends on luck to a certain extent. Why don't you take a look at what the task is before making plans?" the commander continued to talk. .
Qin Lingyu's eyes flashed, and he was very interested in the reward after completing the task.
He made a "everyone be quiet" gesture, gave the commander a fist, and said, "In that case, let's see what the mission is first."
"Please!" The commander made a "please" gesture and asked everyone to follow him.
"There is an advantage to taking over the mission. We can enter the city gate directly." A disciple of Xuyang Sect muttered. In fact, he didn't really want to take on the mission, because after the mission is completed, most of the rewards may be None of it was his fault.
But since Senior Brother Qin has spoken, he has no objection.
The others had similar ideas to him and could not object, so they could only move forward in silence.
The commander took them to the inn where they were staying, and asked the waiter for a room. After closing the door, he took out a portrait from his arms and laid it flat on the table.
Everyone gathered around curiously, not knowing what kind of bounty mission it would be.
The commander pointed at the man in the portrait and said to the group of people from the Xuyang Sect: "This is the eldest prince of our Lieyan Kingdom, but now he is also a sinner of our Lieyan Kingdom. He poisoned our country's leader and also After his father was seriously injured and fell into a coma, he took advantage of the chaos and escaped. Now we are all looking for him. He has a certain foundation in cultivation, and we alone are completely unable to catch him. So, please, you experts, can Help.”
The man in the portrait is very handsome, his face is sharp and angular, his two sword-shaped eyebrows fly into his temples, and his thin lips are slightly curved in a careless arc, as if he is mocking the ignorance and stupidity of the world. The most difficult thing to ignore is It's those cold eyes, that kind of arrogance and domineering that seem to be able to penetrate the drawing paper and directly hit the hearts of the onlookers.
It's really hard to imagine that such a person would actually commit a serious crime and become a "fugitive" from the Lieyan Kingdom. Many people thought to themselves, feeling a little pity.
While everyone was silently sizing up the appearance of this "fugitive with a bounty on his head," Jun Xiaomo noticed something else -
There is a small totem on the side of the eldest prince's neck, which looks a bit... familiar
She thought about it carefully, and suddenly her eyes widened—she had seen it in the cave where the relics of senior Jiang Yutong were placed! I heard that this is a unique totem of the Jiang family, and only the direct bloodline of the Jiang family can possess it.
Could it be that this "eldest prince" is the blood jade owner she is looking for, the son of senior Jiang Yutong? !
Jun Xiaomo thought it would take a long time to find the orphan of senior Jiang Yutong, but he didn't expect to find clues as soon as he walked into the Lieyan Kingdom.
