Chapter 288
“What’s going on with them?” Huo Zhaojing frowned.
The female cultivator from before came forward to report,”eldest senior brother, before they set off, they said that they heard that a netherworld tree has recently appeared in ze Lu city square and they intend to present it to you.””
When the female cultivator spoke, the surrounding disciples all lowered their heads and didn’t dare to speak.
Huo Zhaojing knew in his heart that these junior brothers and sisters had almost all done it under the banner of presenting him with treasures and blackmailed others. Now that someone had died because of this, he was naturally worried that he would take advantage of the situation to investigate.
To be honest, Huo Zhaojing was not interested in the netherworld wood.
This was a treasure for a Foundation establishment clan. With his background, if he wanted something better, he could get it anytime and anywhere.
However, the death of his three junior brothers and sisters surprised him. &Quot; “Who is it that dares to attack a disciple of the spring altar?”
No one dared to say anything, and it was the female cultivator who said softly, ” &Quot; according to the people in the ze Lu market, the Mei family’s caravan that the netherworld wood is in is a family established by an old disciple of the Zhong Ming sect. In order to ensure that nothing goes wrong, they have specially invited inner disciples of the Zhong Ming sect to escort it. &Quot;
&Quot; for this reason, the Mei family’s caravan stayed in the profound Reed market for many days. They only left in a hurry after the inner disciples of the Zhong gang sect arrived. &Quot;
“If there are no accidents, the three junior brothers and sisters should have been killed by the Zhong gang sect disciples.”
“Otherwise, ordinary itinerant cultivators wouldn’t dare to be disrespectful to the disciples of our sacred cult. Even if he’s blinded by wealth and tries to snatch it, he won’t dare to murder the disciples of our sacred cult!”
Huo Zhaojing’s eyes narrowed and he said lightly, ” “The heavy iron sect? Do you know who it is that dared to kill my people?”
The female cultivator shook her head. &Quot; the person looks very unfamiliar. He’s not one of the people from the Zhong gang sect who often walks around outside. We still don’t know anything about the market. &Quot;
“However, he shouldn’t have any background.”
“Otherwise, since they knew that eldest senior brother was nearby, why didn’t they hand in their name card to visit?”
&Quot; it’s just a netherworld tree. If it’s a famous inner disciple of the Zhong Ming sect or the descendant of a Senior Master of the Zhong Ming sect, eldest senior brother would not refuse to give it face. &Quot;
“We’re all members of the sacred sect. Since we’re on equal footing, why fight and kill?”
” therefore, we suspect that he is a new inner sect disciple from a poor background. his specific name and identity are still under investigation. ”
“We’ll know when we catch up.” Huo Zhaojing sneered and said, ” find out which direction they went. &Quot;
“Eldest senior brother, this group of people is quite cunning.” The female cultivator said, ” its traces have been completely erased. Even the tracking bees can’t track it. &Quot;
“However, the main purpose of their trip is to escort the demon pets and the netherworld tree back to the Mei family’s ancestral home.”
“On the way from the profound Reed market to the Mei family’s ancestral home, there are a few dangerous places that are not occupied by core formation ghosts. Even if miasma were to appear, something could happen to a mid Foundation Stage cultivator.”
&Quot; even if the people of the Zhong gang sect have outstanding cultivation, the Mei family’s convoy doesn’t even have a Foundation establishment cultivator. They can’t pass through. &Quot;
&Quot; so, they only have three choices. &Quot;
“First, after leaving the waterswamp, take the path to Mount Mei. After crossing Mount Mei, you’ll reach the territory of the Zhong gang sect. Then, turn Southeast, cross the smooth River, pass through the netherworld, and arrive at the Mei family’s ancestral home.”
“The second way is to go south for a hundred li along the swamp, enter the silver sand River, and finally converge at the smooth River.”
&Quot; the third way is to go to Xuan fortress. From the back of Xuan fortress, cross the star field, walk through the lonely Sparrow Gorge, and take a detour to reach the Mei family’s ancestral residence. &Quot;
Huo Zhaojing listened and said lightly,”the troops are divided into three groups to pursue. The other party was able to kill Dou Wan’s three junior brothers and sisters. Their strength must be extraordinary.” &Nbsp;
“After you discover his tracks, don’t beat the grass and alert the snake. Immediately use the sect’s talisman to transmit your voice.”
“I’ll be there as soon as possible.”
Many of his fellow disciples hurriedly agreed.
???
In the blood carriage.
PEI Ling’s eyes were slightly closed, and true essence surged around his body. He was currently cultivating the [ burning night chapter ].
Spiritual Qi was forcibly drawn in from all directions, rushing into his meridians and being devoured bit by bit. After a special breathing exercise, his cultivation base was raised.
In the outside world, everyone in the Mei family’s convoy felt the spiritual Qi around them thin. They looked at the blood carriage with awe and envy.
After a long while, PEI Ling slowly opened his eyes after he finished his cultivation. However, there was no joy in his eyes.
During the escort, accidents could happen at any time.
Therefore, he could not use the system to take over and could only cultivate on his own.
However, the efficiency of self-cultivation was too low!
Even though he had also taken the dreamless powder, he had diligently cultivated until now, and the growth of his true essence was almost negligible.
At this rate, if he didn’t use the system’s management, it would probably take at least ten years before he could enter the middle stage of the foundation building.
Of course, to most cultivators, this speed was already very fast.
However, PEI Ling was a heaven’s favorite of the Zhong Kong sect, the champion of the outer sect tournament, and a genius Alchemist. To go from the early stage to the middle stage of the foundation establishment stage in a dozen years?
What kind of trash template was this?
There was no need to think!
After this mission was completed and he returned to the cave dwelling on cuilei mountain, he would open the furnace and produce a large amount of dreamless powder. He would directly use the system to take over for eight to ten years and cultivate until he formed the Aurous core before coming out.
At that moment, Jin sumian’s voice suddenly rang in his ears, ” “Branch master, someone is following us!”
PEI Ling immediately stepped out of the blood carriage.
“What’s going on?” PEI Ling asked.
“Someone touched the sub-tracking talisman I set up at the back. The person was very careful and only touched one.” Jin sumian quickly replied, ” the sub-tracking talisman I used was specially prepared by my cousin for my mission. After this talisman is set up, it can record the aura of the living beings nearby.”
“Empress, pass this to the mother talisman.”
As she spoke, she made a hand seal, and a miniature sandbox immediately rose in front of her. There were light green spots of light in it, and the only red spot was particularly eye-catching.
Looking at the position of the red light, it was not far from the convoy.
PEI Ling’s expression turned cold. This was most likely the people from the heaven born sect!
“Speed up,” he ordered.
In the distance behind the Mei family’s convoy.
The four cultivators in white robes and golden crowns looked at the talisman in front of them, which looked like a dead leaf, and their expressions changed.
“A sub-detection talisman!” A white-robed cultivator with a golden crown frowned and looked at his companion with a reproachful look. &Quot; I told you to be careful. Why are you still so reckless? ”
“Eldest senior brother has instructed us not to beat the grass and alert the snake.”
&Quot; the people of the Zhong gang sect are ranked among the nine great sects, just like our sacred religion. How can the methods of their disciples be compared to those of rogue cultivators? ”
&Quot; you’re still so careless. If the Mei family’s convoy runs away now, how are we going to explain it to eldest senior brother when he catches up? ”
The cultivator who accidentally activated the sub-detection talisman said calmly, ” “This is the will of the heavens. Besides, with eldest senior brother’s means, it’s enough that he knows that the Mei family’s caravan is using this road.”
&Quot; you’re saying this because you don’t believe in eldest senior brother’s strength? ”
“Alright, stop fighting.” Seeing that the two of them were about to quarrel, the other two tried to mediate. &Quot; the Mei family’s caravan should be taken by eldest senior brother today. &Quot; Hurry up and inform eldest senior brother, don’t delay the matter!”
As they spoke, they took out their voice transmission talismans and informed Huo Zhaojing.
