When she returned to Hidden Sword Peak, Ding Tianshuang just woke up in a daze. When she saw Ding Hao's appearance, she immediately cheered, jumped up and hung on Ding Hao's neck like a koala.
"Dad, I thought you disappeared again." The little guy said worriedly.
Ding Hao smiled and kissed her.
On the first night he returned to the sect, he stayed at Hidden Sword Peak just to spend time with his precious daughter, so he went to find Li Yiruo, Ximen Qianxue and others the next day.
"Are you back?" Li Lan prepared breakfast and greeted with a smile.
"Let's go to eat." Ding Hao lifted Xiao Tianshuang above his head and let the little guy ride on his neck. He laughed all the way to the dining table under the peach blossom tree at Hidden Sword Peak.
Time flies.
Ding Hao patiently fed Xiao Tianshuang and finished her breakfast, then turned to look at Li Lan and said, "Can you tell me something? Did something happen to the sect?"
Li Lan was suffocated, then nodded and said, "Did you see it? There is indeed something very important. News came just now that Junior Brother Wang Xiaoqi and Junior Brother Li Yunqi are in big trouble outside."
"Big trouble?" Ding Hao frowned slightly: "Could it be the demon clan..."
Li Lan nodded and said: "Junior brother Dajun and junior brother Yunqi were trapped in Qingjiang Town. They are the strong men of Tianyao Palace. However, things are not as simple as they appear on the surface. The two of them can only News came out through the sect’s special communication channel, and it is said that strong human beings have appeared around Qingjiang Town.”
Ding Hao lowered his head and thought carefully, then said, "I'll go take a look."
"Brother Hao, it would be great if you go. If you are really a strong man from the Heavenly Demon Palace, it will not help if someone else goes." Li Lan had a soft smile on his face and thought about it again. Said: "But Brother Hao, you don't seem to know the way very well. If you go alone, you will easily get lost."
Ding Hao's old face suddenly turned red.
Li Lan continued: "Well, let sister Yiruo go with you. She is most familiar with Xuzhou now. She has also been to Qingjiang Town with Junior Brother Dajun. I believe she will not lead you the wrong way. "
Ding Hao glanced at Li Lan with slight surprise.
Li Lan definitely knew about her relationship with Li Yiruo. If it were an ordinary woman, she would only wish to stay far away from Li Yiruo to avoid any more entanglements. Ding Hao was also thinking about how to talk about this matter, but he didn't expect Li Lan He actually offered to let Li Yiruo accompany him to Qingjiang Town...
Could this mean...
Ding Hao turned around and saw a meaningful smile on Li Lan's soft and delicate face.
"That's fine. Without further ado, we'll set off immediately." Ding Hao nodded in agreement.
…
Qingjiang Town.
Under the white snow and wind and snow, this small town with a radius of dozens of miles seemed particularly quiet.
The entire town is surrounded by a thick stone wall that is more than ten meters high. Some important sections of the stone wall still have the power of inscription formations, which strengthen the city wall and protect the nearly 10,000 people living in it.
This is an ordinary town where the Selangor people live.
Three years ago, the population was only more than a thousand. It could only be regarded as a third- or fourth-rate human settlement with average strength. However, because the two sons of the town owner Li Ying joined He successively, they obtained the two largest settlements in Snow State. He is protected by the top sect, so no one dares to mess with him.
Later, the Wenjian Sect rose rapidly, and Li Yunqi, the youngest son of the town leader Li Ying, became the core disciple of the Wenjian Sect because of his outstanding qualifications. It is said that one person can achieve enlightenment, chickens and dogs ascend to heaven. Qingjiang Town has undergone tremendous changes because of Li Yunqi's status, and the scale of Qingjiang Town has increased rapidly. As the town grew, some wandering warriors and casual cultivators continued to join the town, and more and more people gathered.
Qingjiang Town is now a medium-sized human settlement with a population of over 10,000.
It's the twelfth lunar month of winter, it's freezing weather, and there's heavy snow.
At the entrance of the stone palace in the center of the town, three figures stood.
Standing on both sides are two young men about twenty years old. They are both extremely handsome. They have long swords hanging on their waists and have extraordinary temperaments. The wind and snow like swords cannot invade within one meter of the two people. In the middle is a man. He is a tall, gray-haired, liger-like old man with a rosy complexion and a hale and hearty spirit.
"The news should have reached the sect, right?"
The young man on the right said softly. He was wearing a purple gown, exhaling white breath from his aquiline nose, and frowning tightly, as if he was thinking about something. It was the big boss, Zhong Dajun, the famous little god of wealth in Wenjian Sect.
"If there were no accidents on the way, we would have arrived at the sect by now. However, it will probably take at least three days for the sect to respond and send experts." The young man on the other side had a strange face. The white-faced man with no beard is none other than Li Yunqi, one of the current core senior members of Wenjian Sect.
"You two little guys, there is no need to worry too much. The strength of Qingjiang Town is not what it used to be. Even if the demon clan attacks, it can still withstand it for a while. Once the support from the Wenjian Sect arrives, I don't think anyone else will dare to Presumptuous." The mighty old man standing in the middle laughed loudly, his expression was extremely bold.
It is Li Ying, the leader of Qingjiang Town.
When Li Yunqi heard this, he shook his head slightly and said: "I'm afraid this matter is not simple. The monster clan that followed us before was not a strong man in the Snow State. I'm afraid it came from another state. During this period, because of Due to the alliance between the two clans, countless superpowers from other states have descended on Snow State. They have so much power that even the Wenjian Sect dare not confront them head-on. If these forces take action... "
Before he finished speaking, Zhong Dajun interrupted with a smile and said: "Junior Brother Yunqi, you are overthinking. Those superpowers came to Xuzhou just for the alliance between the two races. How could their eyes fall on you and me? How could it be possible? Will I take action against you?"
"Senior Brother Zhong, have you forgotten the Demon King who claims to be from the Heavenly Demon Palace?" Li Yunqi said solemnly: "If it weren't for the battle puppet left by Senior Brother Ding, I'm afraid the two of us would have died countless times. According to reports, As far as I know, it is not a small force, it is the second largest demon clan holy land in the entire Northern Territory."
"The enemy is so big?" Li Ying was stunned.
Zhong Dajun gave a bitter laugh and complained: "Yunqi, you are such a stupid guy. You just know it in your heart. Why do you say it to scare people? What do you think we should do now?"
"The best result is of course to wait for reinforcements," Li Yunqi sighed and said, "But in just a few days, more and more strong people have appeared around, not only the strong monsters, but also the strong ones from the demon clan. There are also some unfamiliar auras of human masters, things are a bit strange, even if ordinary sect masters come, I'm afraid they won't have much effect unless Senior Brother Zhang Fan comes in person."
Today, Zhang Fan is definitely regarded as the number one master in Snow State. Although he usually keeps a low profile, Li Yunqi and other core sect disciples have long known that this man who was considered to be dull and incapable of practicing martial arts in the past almost even entered the martial arts academy. The Orion boy, who had no qualifications for the sect, had actually reached a level of strength that was beyond the reach of everyone.
Facing a behemoth like the Tianyao Palace, only Zhang Fan's tyrannical strength could barely give the two of them a sense of security.
Zhong Dajun nodded: "If Xiaofan really comes, many problems can be solved easily. The problem is that the sect may need him to be in charge more at this time... By the way, Yunqi, do you know what the so-called thing is? Why is that heavenly demon Will the masters of the palace pursue us as if we were dead sons?"
This time, Zhong Dajun and Li Yunqi went out to inspect Wenjian Sect's properties in various places as usual, and also purchased and exchanged a batch of materials needed by the sect. At first, everything went smoothly, but on their way back, they encountered an unexpected situation. After dozens of consecutive interceptions and killings, the powerful Demon King finally appeared and took action, demanding that the two of them hand over their hands, otherwise they would be killed without mercy...
Zhong Dajun and Li Yunqi had no idea what they were talking about. There was no such item among the supplies purchased this time. However, the other party recognized that the thing was on their bodies, which made Zhong Dajun and Li Yunqi feel embarrassed. debate.
In the end, the two of them reluctantly relied on Ding Hao to transform one of the six combat puppets from the Pseudo God City, and they severely damaged the Demon Emperor of the Heavenly Demon Palace and escaped all the way to Qingjiang Town.
But then they couldn't leave Qingjiang Town.
Because more and more masters of the demon clan appeared, the entire Qingjiang Town was blocked, and on the way back to Wenjian Sect, many interception checkpoints were set up.
Therefore, the two had to use special means to summon Jian Zong back to them, hoping to get support.
When Li Yunqi heard this, he shook his head and said: "I have no clue at all. I have sorted out the materials we purchased more than a hundred times, and there are no unknown items. Maybe those people made a mistake. The so-called merger It’s not on us, it’s just a misunderstanding.”
Zhong Dajun lowered his head and thought carefully for a while, then said: "At first, I thought it was a misunderstanding. Maybe the people from Tianyao Palace made a mistake."
"What about now?" Li Yunqi heard the underlying meaning behind his words.
"Now I suddenly feel that it's not that they made a mistake, but that we overlooked something." Although Zhong Dajun is not very strong, he is extremely sharp in mind. He pointed at the nearly substantial pillars of power and energy around Qingjiang Town. He said: "If only people from the Heavenly Demon Palace came after hearing the news, maybe there was a mistake. But with so many people and strong human beings appearing around, it's not just a simple misunderstanding."
Li Yunqi was stunned, and he didn't know what he cursed in a low voice, and then said: "What should we do? If this continues, maybe the entire Qingjiang Town will be affected and will suffer a disaster. With so many masters, how can the stone wall be destroyed?" You can stop the army of monsters and ferocious beasts, but you can’t stop the real masters.”
