More than 40,000 people marched into the forest in a mighty manner, scaring away the forest birds and wild animals, but attracted hungry spirit demons.
A group of fire cloud cheetahs stared at them first, appearing and disappearing in the damp and dark dense forest, like a group of erratic fire, at an extremely fast speed, blood-red eyes stared at the mighty crowd through the forest, with greed in their eyes.
Hundreds of white-skull monkeys gathered in a dense crowd, moving and galloping on the 100-meter-high tree canopy, chirping and observing the flow of people. These are spirit monsters that are more ferocious than wild wolves. Once they fall into their hands, even the bones They'll all be chewed up and eaten.
The guards are highly tense, patrolling around the team, all releasing strong energy, ready to fight at any time.
More than 40,000 city residents suppressed their sense of fear and followed the team bravely. They trekked mountains and rivers, cut down dense branches, cleared thorny bushes, and worked hard to open a passage.
Qin Ming walked in the front, his brows were furrowed, and he was always on guard against the spirit monsters haunting the forest.
This place belongs to the outskirts of the forest, and there are no particularly powerful spirit monster species. The scary thing is the hordes of spirit monsters. They are huge in number. Once they make a pounce, it is difficult for the guards to take good care of them.
Tuwei was also nervous. He didn't expect to attract so many spirit monsters at the beginning. Fortunately, he didn't see any mercenaries now.
The team of more than 40,000 people is very large. Although everyone is working hard, the overall speed is still very slow, and it has only traveled more than 30 miles by noon. Thousands of spirit monster groups were attracted, and even the sky was densely populated with birds of prey. They completely regard these more than 40,000 humans as delicious food.
"Master, there are more and more spirit demons!" The guards became nervous.
"The team stopped and gathered together." Qin Ming raised his hand.
The guards shouted orders, and the mighty team stopped one after another, and then gathered forward under the command.
Qin ordered: "Leave 400 people in charge of guarding, and the rest of the guards join forces with Shadow Blade, and attack collectively after a stick of incense! Kill as many as you can!"
The guards adjusted quickly, and more than 400 people dispersed around the crowd. Tuwei and the others were divided into five parts, scattered in different directions, ready to go, and the shadow blade troops in the forest were also ordered to approach the elixir group quietly.
Although there are many spirit monsters, they are all independent groups and very scattered.
As soon as they saw the team stop, they also stopped in the forest, watching cautiously.
A group of giant black-scaled pythons couldn't bear it at first, and appeared one after another from the forest, approaching the team. They are nearly two meters long, very strong, with very wide and hard scales, like a layer of tough armor.
"Time is up!! Kill!!" Tuwei shouted loudly, the 400 troops, like sharp arrows from their bows, charged towards the group of spirit monsters, and the dark shadow blade troops appeared at the same time, launching an attack and strangulation on the lurking spirit monsters .
The quiet forest suddenly became chaotic, and the scene of splendid martial arts and death enveloped the group of spirit monsters piece by piece.
The spirit demon group was shocked, and retreated in all directions.
The fierce hunting lasted for less than half an hour, destroying a whole piece of woodland and killing more than 700 spirit monsters.
In one fell swoop, the nearby spirit demon was suppressed.
After a short correction, the team went back on the road.
The spirit demons seldom keep up, and they all compete for the corpses of those spirit demons killed by the guards.
Before dark, spirit demons gathered around the team again.
Qin ordered another massacre. The cruel killing not only scared away the other spirit monsters, but also left them food. Now that there is food to eat, there is no need to take the risk of preying on humans.
In the middle of the night, more than 40,000 people were exhausted and almost couldn't hold on anymore.
At this time, a guard team that was exploring the road ahead ran back: "Master! If you go two hundred meters further, you will walk out of the Yunluo Forest."
"Find a safe and spacious place, and prepare to camp." Qin Ming heaved a sigh of relief, and came out anyway.
Tuwei and the others lost their hearts, and ordered the brothers to tell everyone the good news. Leaving the forest is only the first step, and the next step is to set up camp and set up a shed, ready to receive the second batch of teams.
Jin Yan City!
One of the ancient cities affiliated to Qingyun Sect is less than three hundred miles away from Leiting Ancient City, and it is also located in the west of Yunluo Forest. It is a majestic giant city built in the mountains.
Among the five ancient cities back then, Leiting Ancient City and Jinyan City were the strongest. Later, Leiting Ancient City fell, and Jinyan City became the strongest, and it also received many strong people who escaped from Leiting Ancient City. Now both the strength of the City Lord's Mansion and the prosperity of the ancient city far surpassed the other three ancient cities, and the amount of treasures paid to Qing Yunzong every year was even more numerous.
In the middle of the night, Nangong Chenyi, the lord of Jinyan City, came to the deepest secret place in the city mansion and woke up the old lord Nangong Lingyu!
"Father! I just got good news!" Nangong Chenyi cupped his fists and saluted. He was handsome and elegant, and couldn't hide his excitement.
"I'm almost buried in the ground, what good news can there be?" Nangong Lingyu, with white hair and wrinkled face, slowly walked out of the dark dense ground with his hands behind his back. She looks old and out of shape, but there is still a hint of brilliance between the opening and closing of her eyes.
"The Qin family... is coming back!"
"What happened?"
"Do you remember Qin Ming?"
"Qin Ming?" Nangong Lingyu thought for a while, and got a little impressed: "The only son of the Qin family? The one who was sent to Qingyun Sect?"
"It's him! He's been a servant for eight years, and he didn't know what opportunity he suddenly had. His strength has improved by leaps and bounds. Not only was he selected to participate in the eight tea parties, he was also ranked among the top five in the eight tea parties."
"Oh?" Nangong Lingyu was surprised. It is not easy to become famous in the Eight Schools Tea Party, and the top five will even move the Northern Territory.
"Even the Qingyun Sect didn't know what happened to him, but these are not important. The important thing is that the Qingyun Sect Master pardoned Qin Ming's servant status, promoted him to Jin Ling's disciple, and pardoned the ancient city of Thunder!"
Nangong Lingyu nodded slowly, suddenly thought of something, suddenly raised his head, and looked at Nangong Chenyi.
Nangong Chenyi was so excited that he nodded vigorously: "The Qin family is coming back!!"
"Good! Good!" Nangong Lingyu shouted three times. "Who else is alive in the Qin family?"
"Except for some unimportant things, it's Qin Yang and Li Lingdai."
"It's good if someone is alive." Nangong Lingyu turned and walked into the secret room, and found a heavy stone box in the innermost part, three meters long and one meter wide, like a sarcophagus, and placed it in the deepest part of the secret room.
"Eight years! Eight years!"
Nangong Lingyu slowly opened the stone box, and inside lay a simple and simple epee. It was dull and heavy, and apart from some age, there was nothing special about it.
Nangong Chenyi followed in and was very excited when he saw the epee in the stone box. After eight years, he could finally unlock its secret.
Eight years ago, they got news that the Qingyun Sect was probably teaming up with Lei Ting Ancient City to carry out a secret operation involving a certain secret treasure, which might be related to the long-term prosperity of the Qingyun Sect. Nangong Lingyu was ambitious, and after getting the news, he began to deploy, and then ambushed the escort team in Leiting Ancient City, and got all the tribute.
However, after searching through all the tributes, what I found was an ancient sword, and no matter how hard I tried, I couldn't find anything from it.
I thought I was tricked, and took a huge risk to get a useless thing. However, Qing Yunzong was furious afterwards, not only punishing the Qin family, but also arresting everyone in Lei Ting Ancient City as slaves in the mining area. Qing Yunzong's furious attitude made Nangong Lingyu realize that there must be deeper secrets on this ancient sword.
For so many years, he has been studying and working hard, but he has not gained anything.
In his opinion, there are only two ways to unlock the secret, one is to interrogate the Qin family, and the other is to ask Qing Yunzong.
The latter is of course impossible, unless they don't want to live anymore. The former is also unlikely, the Qin family is all in custody in Daqingshan, and their Nangong family is not yet capable of snatching the Qin family from the heavily guarded mining area.
Year after year, things have been put aside so slowly.
"I didn't expect that I would still have the hope of unlocking the secret of the ancient sword in my lifetime." Nangong Lingyu held up the ancient sword excitedly. He firmly believed that there was a big secret in the ancient sword, whether it was martial arts, inheritance, or secret treasures. It may lead his Nangong family to glory.
Nangong Chenyi looked at the ancient sword, and his heart was surging: "Father, if the secret of the ancient sword can help you break through the realm and advance to the holy martial arts realm, my Nangong family can completely break away from the Qingyun sect and gain a foothold in this northern region. Life expectancy will continue to increase."
Nangong Lingyu gently stroked the ancient epee: "When will the Qin family move out of Yunluo Forest?"
"I just got the news that they have started to move and they are expected to leave within seven days."
"There may be only three people in the Qin family who knew the secret back then, Qin Yang, Li Lingdai, and Qin Ming. You should find out as soon as possible, but don't disturb Qing Yunzong, don't make things big, do you understand what I mean?"
"Father, don't worry, I will get the secret without anyone noticing. Neither the Qin family nor the Qingyun sect will think of what happened back then."
