Whoosh~
Using his flying martial arts all the way, Yang Qi soon left the territory of the Ancient Demon Ape and came to a slightly empty clearing in the forest.
“With my current strength, it is still a bit difficult to deal with the Three-Star Martial Master-level Heavenly Demon Ancient Ape.” Yang Qi glanced in the direction of the Heavenly Demon Ancient Ape’s territory and sighed slightly.
Although the Heavenly Demon Ancient Ape has only the cultivation level of a three-star Martial Lord, its bloodline is much stronger than that of ordinary monsters. Although it is not as strong as the Black Sky Snake, it is not much different and is not comparable to ordinary monsters.
"Now that the Yuan Sword Canon has been mastered to a small extent, it is almost time to leave." Yang Qi said secretly.
The speed of the Yuan Jian Dian's minor success was faster than he expected. In just half a day, he had already practiced the Yuan Jian Dian to the minor success level. Of course, the biggest reason was that he had previously relied on the enlightenment of the Enlightenment Lotus. He just lacked actual combat experience. After fighting with several strong monsters, the Yuan Jian Dian easily reached the minor success level.
"But before that, I must recover my energy. Now I only have 50% to 60% of my energy left, which is not a good thing." Yang Qi flipped his hand, swallowed a Rong Yuan Dan, and began to recover his energy.
During this half day, he encountered several monsters, all of which were quite powerful, with the strength of two or three star Martial Lords. Moreover, he vaguely discovered that these monsters seemed to be gathering together, which was not good news. Whenever this happened in the past, it was when a beast tide broke out!
A beast tide broke out in the Northern Wilderness. Even if it was only a small-scale tide, it was extremely terrifying, because there were countless monsters here. Once the beast tide broke out, it would engulf countless monsters. Even high-level martial arts masters would have to retreat temporarily.
The beast tide is extremely dangerous, but it is not without benefits. For example, Yang Qi can directly recover his energy in the mountains and forests without worrying too much about the threat of monsters. Powerful monsters each occupy a territory. Once the monsters gather together to launch a beast tide, other places will naturally become empty and there will not be any great danger.
Not long after, Yang Qi's internal energy recovered to its peak state.
"It's time to leave."
Glancing in the direction of Tianfeng Gorge, Yang Qi's expression became a little complicated. This trip into the Northern Wilderness might be the only action that Feng Yan mentioned that was not very dangerous, and he had gained a lot.
"In the future, I will definitely enter the realm of Martial King!" Yang Qi said with a determined look.
Whoosh~
Before he finished speaking, Yang Qi's figure flashed, and he directly used his flying martial arts to soar into the air and prepare to leave.
"Um?"
At this moment, Yang Qi frowned and looked towards the sky deep in the Northern Wilderness. He saw a figure flying towards him at a rapid speed from the direction of the Northern Wilderness.
"Five-star Martial Master?"
As his soul grew stronger, Yang Qi's perception became sharper. As soon as he got close to the Five-Star Martial Master, he could sense the other party's cultivation level.
"Two-star Martial Master?" When Yang Qi discovered the other party, the five-star Martial Master also discovered Yang Qi. However, after finding out that Yang Qi was a two-star Martial Master, he was slightly stunned.
Because according to Gu Xingnan's information, Yang Qi should still be at the late stage of the one-star martial master, while the two-star martial master in front of him has a restrained aura and has obviously broken through the two-star martial master for some time. Most importantly, Yang Qi is alone now, and Feng Yan is not with him as rumored.
"Not Yang Qi?" The middle-aged man frowned slightly.
"Junior Brother Gu said that we must be aware of and investigate any Martial Master practitioners we meet on the road. If he knew that I let a practitioner go, he would probably have a grudge against me." A thoughtful look flashed across the man's face, and he made a decision in an instant.
No matter whether it is related or not, let’s check it out first!
"stop!"
Just as Yang Qi was about to leave, a figure approaching from a distance suddenly shouted.
Hearing the middle-aged man's slightly unfriendly tone, Yang Qi frowned and looked at the middle-aged man who had come over. He frowned and said, "Brother, what do you want to do for me?"
"I'm Fan Tong from the Wu Zhou Academy. I've been ordered to investigate any suspicious practitioners around. I suspect that you have changed your appearance and need to check it out." The middle-aged man said coldly. As a disciple of the Wu Zhou Academy and a five-star Martial Master, he naturally didn't need to be polite to a two-star Martial Master.
Wu Zhou Academy!
Yang Qi's heart skipped a beat. The practitioners of Wuzhou Academy suddenly searched around for suspicious practitioners. He immediately thought of the Wuzhou Academy disciples who died in the fight for the Enlightenment Lotus. Wuzhou Academy actually sent people to search for him and Feng Yan. Fortunately, because he found that the black tortoise sent him to the Northern Wilderness in the north of the Great Zhou Empire, he immediately changed his appearance. If the practitioners who had not met him before, they would naturally not be able to recognize his identity.
However, he did not expect that the practitioners of Wu Zhou Academy would be so crazy that they would actually check any suspicious practitioners that appeared around them. If he was checked by them, he would naturally not be able to hide the fact that he had changed his appearance!
Once his original appearance is restored, his identity will be immediately exposed!
“It’s really a narrow road that enemies meet. I’m so unlucky that I run into a cultivator from the Wu Zhou Academy, and he’s a five-star Martial Master.” Yang Qi smiled bitterly in his heart. If it was a four-star Martial Master, he could still fight with his current strength, but a five-star Martial Master was not something he could deal with at all.
“No wonder the monsters around are gathering, it must be because of the search of Wu Zhou Academy.” Thinking of the gathering of monsters nearby, Yang Qi finally understood what was going on. Wu Zhou Academy was searching on a large scale, and with so many powerful people showing up, the monsters nearby must be worried about their safety, so they began to gather together.
"Don't worry, if you are not the person our Wu Zhou Academy is looking for, I will never make things difficult for you." Seeing that Yang Qi's face looked a little ugly, Fan Tong spoke again.
A martial arts master is the most powerful existence below the martial arts king. A force with a martial arts master is a second-rate force. How can a strong man easily let others investigate? The practitioners who appeared nearby were mostly martial arts masters. It was not easy to search them. However, the practitioners of the Wuzhou Academy usually came in teams of three or five people. Not to mention low-level martial arts masters, even if a mid-level martial arts master encountered them, he could only consider himself unlucky.
"Okay." Yang Qi nodded reluctantly.
Seeing this scene, Fan Tong couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief. If he could avoid taking action, he naturally didn't want to. After all, no one wanted to offend a Martial Master for no reason. It didn't matter if he offended one or two, but if he offended too many, even he would not be able to bear it even if he was a five-star Martial Master.
"I will use my energy to check your appearance, you don't have to worry."
Fan Tong came to Yang Qi and stopped about a hundred feet away. With a movement of his hand, a stream of pure energy fell on Yang Qi. The amount of energy was not large enough to pose a threat to a martial arts practitioner. Obviously, Fan Tong did not want to be misunderstood as intending to launch a sneak attack. (To be continued)
