Chen Hai thought to himself that the young man in front of him was still a person.
The group of people just walked among the rugged hills of the mountainous area. After three or four hours, a canyon appeared in everyone's sight.
At this moment, a tall and tall young man came up and bowed and said: "Sir, all the achievements of slaying demons have been harvested. Should we return to Beiling Valley first or continue to scout north?"
Xiyang County is close to the western foot of Wanxian Mountain and is extremely fertile. As it guards the western foot of Wanxian Mountain, it has an extremely important position. Its county governor has always been directly controlled by the great clan of Wanxian Mountain.
You must know that although Jiang Ze is a relatively popular rising star in Dongdu City, Dongdu City is only a medium-sized city in Zhaoquan County. Wanxian Mountain has more than ten counties under its jurisdiction, and there are almost hundreds of cities the size of Dongdu City. However, if Jiang Ze just said his name, Ning Shengrong could accurately tell his origin. If he had no ambition for worldly power and devoted himself to cultivation, he would definitely not be able to do this.
After all, he is still just a "war demon" whose soul is controlled by Jiang Yuwei. He only needs Jiang Ze, Zhou Tong and others to act according to his wishes. On a larger scale, there is no need for him to be too outstanding in order to avoid causing the Ten Thousand Immortals Mountain. The attention of those peerless beings in the heavenly realm.
Jiang Ze, Zhou Tong and others were silent and looked solemn. From their previous encounters, they had learned that large groups of monsters were more organized than before, and their tactics were more cunning and flexible. Zhou Tong and the others also suffered extremely heavy casualties, but they didn't. Thinking of the situation Ning Shengrong and the others encountered, it was more severe than they imagined.
When Ning Shengrong walked under the city wall, someone who had discovered him had already opened the simple fence. On the stone wall was a young man with a red sword on his back. He asked loudly: "Master Ning is back. How is the situation outside?"
The mouth of the canyon is not very wide, about four to five hundred paces. A simple stone wall stands there. On top of the stone wall, there are more than a hundred people watching the outside.
Chen Hai walked by and listened to their conversation, thinking that the disciples of the sects who belonged to Wanxian Mountain were not the same as nothing. Knowing that the situation was not right, it was undoubtedly the most correct thing to retreat to a certain place and gather together to gather more and stronger power and not to advance rashly. s Choice.
Sure enough, a warm smile appeared on Ning Shengrong's dignified face. He spread out his clothes, bowed and said, "It turns out to be Junior Sister Jiang Xuan Jiang. I'm disrespectful..."
After stepping into the stone gate, Chen Hai and others saw that the canyon was in the shape of a gourd mouth. It looked small on the outside, but in fact it was seven or eight miles in diameter. There were many cliffs hundreds of meters high on both sides. Figures stood guard on the stone cliffs on both sides, and the canyon was dotted with camping tents.
Ning Shengrong nodded solemnly. The man's face, which was already ugly, became even more depressed.
Jiang Ze asked: "What are the conditions for us to join Beiling Valley?"
Although the young Jiang family in Dongdu could reach this point and integrate well with Zhou Tong and other poor disciples, it was mainly due to Chen Hai's Kung Fu, but Jiang Ze listened when he heard Ning Shengrong's praise. , it was still very useful, a small face was full of smiles, and he waved his hands repeatedly and said that he was not worthy.
"The situation of this blood training was really unexpectedly bad. In just one month, as far as I know, two to three thousand disciples have already died, and the number of people who were seriously injured and lost their combat power is even more terrifying. . Brother Jiang led his people across the wasteland, killed so many monsters, and still had high morale, it’s really amazing."
For Wanxian Mountain, the status of true disciples is even higher than that of ordinary elders. There are only eight true disciples in Jade Emperor Peak who have been personally taught by Supreme Elders and sects.
Chen Hai could tell that Jiang Ze also wanted to explain to him, but he just shrugged and said nothing.
Ning Shengrong was riding a spirit tiger that was more than ten feet tall and covered with snow-white body. He rubbed his hands and said, "Although the disciples who step into the blood training field are not very high in cultivation, they are the cornerstone of the Ten Thousand Immortals Mountain. What conditions are needed to support each other? However, since everyone uses Beiling Valley as a resting place, things like guarding and building stone walls still need to be shared among everyone."
Ning Shengrong frowned. Jiang Ze looked at Ning Shengrong's questioning eyes and explained, "This is Jiang Xuan, Jiang Yuwei's sister from the Eastern Capital City. This time, she will step into the blood training field with us."
In addition to their personal cultivation, these people are all quite strong among teenagers, but in terms of their words and deeds, they have obviously received stricter military training. However, even so, the armor on most of them has been damaged to varying degrees, and some Even the direct descendants of such a powerful family have such hideous scars, not to mention the situation of others.
If there is a chance to make friends with the true disciples, it will undoubtedly be a valuable bargaining chip for Ning Shengrong in the struggle for power within the Ning clan.
Jiang Ze looked at the people behind Ning Shengrong. He had been wearing standard armor over the years. He guessed that they might all be descendants of the Ning tribe. This time they participated in the blood training. Maybe they were willing to sacrifice their lives in the blood training field. Protect and guard Ning Shengrong's comprehensive retinue.
"Of course." Jiang Ze nodded and said.
Although most of them were somewhat injured, the high-spirited fighting spirit could still be seen on the faces of Jiang Ze, Zhou Tong and other young men.
The expressions of the young men in the canyon were quite solemn, and uncontrollable groans could be heard from time to time in the camping tent. Chen Hai saw that although nearly 20,000 people had gathered in Ning Shengrong, few of them were without injuries. The situation was really unbearable. Be optimistic!
Even though Ning Shengrong was interrupted, there was no look of concern on his face. He turned around and said, "We have been out of Beiling Valley for more than two hundred miles, so let's go back to Beiling Valley first."
Jiang Xuan said in shock: "The casualties in Blood Refining today are really terrifying."
Ning Shengrong looked at Jiang Ze for a few times and said, "I have heard for a long time that the lord of the Eastern Capital City, Jiang Zhenjiang, has a grandnephew who is amazingly talented and beautiful. When I saw him today, he is indeed well-deserved."
However, when Ning Shengrong said that other disciples suffered heavy casualties, Jiang Ze was also prepared. Disciples from poor families such as Zhou Tong gathered four to five hundred people, and more than half of them would be killed at one time. This year's blood training was really cruel and tragic. .
"After Beiling Valley was built, even if most disciples were injured, they would not have no place to hide. As a result, their injuries could not be treated, and they would eventually die of serious injuries and leave their bodies in the wilderness. However, in the past few days, Beiling Valley It can’t be called safe anymore. Just yesterday, a reconnaissance team of 200 people went west deep into the wilderness to conduct reconnaissance. In the end, only a few people escaped back. According to those who escaped, there were five people in the west of Beiling Valley. Hundreds of miles away, there are large groups of monsters, including armpit claw demons, gathering together. The number is probably tens of thousands, and the number is even tending to gather and increase. We came out this time to confirm other directions in Beiling Valley. , is there a large group of monsters gathering, the situation is really not optimistic... "
Jiang Ze and Zhou Tong led everyone to stop five hundred steps away and shouted: "I am Jiang Ze, Dongdu Mountain, Zhaoquan County. May I ask where the brother is across the way!"
…
The Jiang Clan and the Ning Clan are both powerful clans in Wanxian Mountain. Although they don't have too many interactions, there are no apparent conflicts. After the exchange of identities, the tense atmosphere between the two sides eased.
"If I remember correctly, this Ning Shengrong should be the concubine of Ning Haoyong, the governor of Xiyang County. He has reached the peak of spiritual cultivation at a young age. The Ning clan has high hopes for him, and he is not even in Jiangxi Province. Under the senior sister. Unexpectedly, he did not directly enter the inner gate of Wanxian Mountain to practice. Instead, he stepped on the threshold and entered the blood training ground to strive for the merit of slaying demons." Jiang Ze was afraid that Zhou Tong would not understand the situation, so he introduced Ning Shengrong's situation in a low voice. Fan.
"After stepping into the Blood Refining Field, monsters thrived here, which was very different from previous years - many teams, as they went deeper, encountered monsters on a quite large scale, and these monsters were very difficult to deal with because they were well-organized in attack and defense. Several teams suffered heavy casualties and all happened to retreat into a valley. Finally, everyone gathered together and decided to build some fortifications in this valley in order to have a rest and buffer base to continue to clear out these low-level monsters deep in the wasteland. , and at the same time, it is also convenient for blood training disciples who have been defeated by monsters to have a place to stay. Thanks to everyone's efforts, nearly 20,000 people have gathered in Beiling Valley, and you are also welcome to join..."
While talking, Jiang Ze and others had already walked up to Ning Shengrong.
Although the Jiang clan of the Eastern Capital has disappeared from the Jiang clan, Jiang Ze is still not used to being restrained by others. He thought that this way, they would have a place to stay when they entered Beiling Valley, so they would not be tense every moment. Beware of all dangers deep in the wilderness, you can't relax your mind.
"Brother Ning is overrated." Runrang Ning Shengrong was a little embarrassed and said humbly.
The two teams were aligned on the left and right, and at the same time they walked clearly into the depths of the wasteland.
Chen Hai looked around, thinking that maybe his green cunning demon walking in the front was too conspicuous. He paused and fell behind Jiang Ze, Zhou Tong and others.
Hearing Jiang Ze's speech, a young man standing in front wearing cyan spirit armor breathed a sigh of relief and said: "It turns out that I am from the lineage of ancestor Jiang Yin. I am Ning Shengrong of Xiyang County. Brother Jiang is honored to meet you."
Ning Shengrong's guards continued to reap the rewards of slaying demons, while he stood with his hands behind his back, waiting for Jiang Ze and the others to come forward, guarded by several people.
Chen Hai noticed that Ning Shengrong's eyes couldn't help but light up when he heard Jiang Yuwei's name. He thought that with Jiang Yuwei's qualifications and foundation, he had a great chance of becoming a true disciple of Jade Emperor Peak and one of the stars among the lower-level disciples of Wanxian Mountain. Next, when the disciples in the blood refining field heard Jiang Yuwei's name, they should be moved.
The merits of slaying demons are measured by the short claws of armpit-claw demons. Some teenagers tried to save trouble by directly tying the short claws like chicken claws around their waists. Therefore, Jiang Ze and the others roughly killed how many armpit-claw demons they had. Ning Shengrong took them from their waists. He could tell at a glance. What surprised Ning Shengrong even more was that the mental outlook of Jiang Ze, Zhou Tong and others was much better than that of other teams he encountered.
Chen Hai and others walked over, and everyone on the opposite side suddenly became alert. Even those who reaped the rewards of slaying demons stopped and picked up their weapons to be on guard.
