The sound of the explosion at the edge of the valley soon attracted many disciples of the Maoshan Zhengtian Sect.
Feng Qingyang took out a magic-level talisman that he had searched on his body and escaping into the ground with a whoosh.
The Maoshan Talisman Codex says: A magic-level earth-escaping talisman can penetrate twenty meters underground for up to an hour, and its movements are just like being on land. What's even more magical is that it can directly sense everything on the ground from underground.
Feng Qingyang restrained his breath twenty meters underground. A faint yellow light emanated from his body. Wherever he passed, the soil automatically moved away, like a big stone.
"It's worthy of being a magic-level talisman!" He sighed and looked at the ground silently.
The Maoshan disciples who were flying here were either on flying swords or flying in the air with escape talismans. When they saw the corpses on the ground, they were all shocked.
The corpse's eyes were wide open, the light in them had long since disappeared, there was a big hole in the chest, the heart fell to the side, and countless insects were crawling all over its body.
Two young men walked out of the crowd. When they saw the corpse on the ground, they took two steps back and were stunned and speechless.
"Isn't this Senior Brother Yixuan? How could he die here?"
"Senior Brother Yixuan is a master in the late stage of Qi Refining. Could it be that our actions have been discovered?"
They were whispering in twos and threes, but there was no sadness on their faces; some even looked gloating.
"Humph! Good death."
Some people snorted in their hearts, when people are alive, they may respect you a little, calling you "senior brother" all the time, but once they die, they are nothing. You can say anything.
“Get out of the way!”
At this time, a loud shout was heard, and an elder walked out from the crowd. He was wearing a green robe and holding a dustpan in his hand. When he saw the corpse on the ground, he trembled all over and his face was as gloomy as water.
He glared fiercely at the disciples around him. Strangely, the noisy onlookers suddenly became quiet, not even daring to make a sound.
“Who was on patrol with Yixuan before?” the elder shouted in a deep voice, and one could tell from his voice that he was on the verge of a violent rage.
“… I… it’s me…” the two disciples stammered, their heads lowered, not daring to look at the elder’s sullen face.
One of the disciples lowered his head and fearfully recounted the entire cause and effect. However, until now he still didn't understand what could have killed Yi Xuan, who was in the late Qi Refining stage, in an instant.
"What a bunch of rubbish! This matter cannot be publicized, but you should increase the number of patrols to five per group, and be careful."
Although the old man was sad, he was not sad about Yi Xuan, but sad about the huge amount of resources spent on him, but he died before they could be recovered.
After he finished speaking, he snapped his fingers and something on the ground burst into flames with a loud bang, then turned into ashes in a short moment.
The old man stood here in silence for a long time, and suddenly looked underground.
A pair of old eyes, shining brightly, shot straight at Feng Qingyang as if piercing through him.
Looking at the old man's gaze, Feng Qingyang's body tensed up.
"You're so lucky to have found me? We're dozens of meters underground here! It shouldn't be possible!"
He calmed his mind, and his lifeless body completely merged with the stone underground. If he was not broken open by force, he would not be found at all.
The old man took a deep look at the ground, pressed down lightly with his palm, and an invisible dark force penetrated the thick soil and reached Feng Qingyang's body. Then his body turned into a whirlwind and disappeared into the sky, leaving the Maoshan disciples still in a daze.
"Let's go, and strengthen our defenses. If we can successfully break into the Zombie King's Cave, our Zhengtian Sect may even become the leader of the righteous path, and we will definitely benefit from it..."
Swish, swish, swish!
Soon, the group of people disappeared, leaving only the messy scene silently telling the story.
"Have they all left?"
Feng Qingyang's body shook, and he felt that the soil around him was slowly pressing towards him. He was afraid that the effect of the magic-level talisman that could escape from the earth was gradually weakening.
The closing of the soil brought with it a thousand-pound force that rushed in from all directions. At this moment, Feng Qingyang no longer had the feeling of being like a fish in water as before. On the contrary, he felt like a thorn in the flesh in the soil.
"It's better to leave first~" The endless force from all around pressed down on him, making his whole body creak. If he didn't leave quickly, he would be buried in the mud.
Swish!
He turned out from the mud, looked at the mess around him, and was about to escape when he found that he suddenly couldn't move.
"Is it possible?"
A bad thought flashed through his mind, and he used his magical power to force himself to jump. Unfortunately, his body seemed to be rooted to the ground, and even his great strength was useless.
"Hmph~ Do you think you can escape my eyes by hiding underground?"
Sure enough, an old man appeared out of nowhere in front of Feng Qingyang. It was the elder from before.
He walked over with disdain on his face, his eyes full of contempt for ants.
"A mere trifle. Do you think you can dodge it with just a magic-level earth escape talisman? You are underestimating the cultivators in the foundation-building stage."
"Humph~ You are just taking advantage of your age!"
Feng Qingyang snorted coldly and said unhappily in his heart, but he did not say these words out loud. As the saying goes, a man who knows the times is a hero. If one loses his life because of a quick tongue, it would not be worth it.
"What do you want?"
The old man walked in front of Feng Qingyang, and the two were only ten meters apart. He looked straight at Feng Qingyang with his old eyes, and an indescribable smile hung on his face.
"I won't kill you, nor will I harm you. On the contrary, I will give you a chance of good fortune."
Feng Qingyang's heart was moved when he heard this. He was about to speak while thinking about it, but was interrupted by the old man.
"If you help me kill these ten people, I will give you a Yin Ning Pearl!"
As he spoke, he flipped his hand and took out a black, round bead in his palm. The bead was as big as a longan, and bursts of cold and negative energy were emanating from it.
Feng Qingyang couldn't take his eyes off it after just one look. It was undeniable that the attraction of the Yin Ning Pearl must be extremely huge. If he used it to practice, it would be like riding a rocket. Why would he need to practice while sleeping during the day? Wearing it meant practicing all the time.
Although the thing is good, you still need a life to get it.
Even though Feng Qingyang was jealous, he knew that there was no such thing as a free lunch. After all, he was not a fool.
"How can I believe you?" Feng Qingyang asked suspiciously. Although he was very afraid of this plain-looking old man, he did not sense any murderous aura from him.
"I can crush you to death right now!" The old man's expression changed instantly. He had looked mysterious before, but now he showed a hint of ferocity.
"You have to kill me, otherwise you will die!"
As he said this, he calmly flicked his finger above Feng Qingyang's left chest.
call out!
A golden light instantly pierced him through.
"You killed my disciples. This is the punishment you deserve. You must kill all ten of them within ten days, otherwise you will die after ten days!"
The old man threw down a jade slip and disappeared into the night.
"Old man, you are just a cruel and ruthless person, even if you pretend to be a righteous man!"
