The next morning, Jiang Li got ready to set off.

At this time, the outer gate was also filled with gloom and sorrow.

A large number of the most elite outer disciples should have been fully preparing for the outer sect competition at this time.

But now, I have to participate in a mission that is like sending myself to death. It would be a miracle if I can still be happy.

The sect was obviously under stricter martial law, and from time to time one could see disciples from the Law Enforcement Hall in black patrolling around the sect.

Jiang Li carried the wooden sign and after passing through numerous obstacles, he finally arrived at the gathering place.

A rough count showed that there were about 500 outer disciples waiting here, which was one twentieth of the outer disciples with the highest cultivation and the strongest strength.

They are obviously much older than Jiang Li, and they must be elderly people who have been in the outer sect for many years.

After all, the disciples who were originally going to participate in the outer sect competition had to be at least at the upper level of the middle stage of Qi training.

According to the cultivation speed of those with middle to upper grade spiritual roots, the youngest among them are probably around eighteen or nineteen years old.

Although Jiang Li had physical training and a strong and sturdy build, he was still easily noticeable at just over thirteen to fourteen years old.

This is equivalent to a junior high school student walking into a party hall full of high school and college students and quickly attracting a lot of attention.

In this defection incident, even if the sect elders and inner disciples defected, it was not the turn of a group of outer disciples like them to make comments.

The reason is simple: I am not qualified enough.

Therefore, as the only outer disciple who defected, Yu Banxia undoubtedly became the target of public criticism.

These outer sect disciples dare not speak ill of the sect, dare not speak ill of Elder Duan, and dare not openly criticize the inner sect brothers. So there is only one culprit left.

Even Jiang Li, who was familiar with Yu Banxia, ​​began to feel disgusted.

From time to time, people pointed and whispered in his direction, but Jiang Li didn't care much. He just stood at the back of the crowd and waited quietly.

soon.

"Are all of them here?"

Such a sound was heard from the front, and soon there was a ripple of spiritual energy passing by. It was the people from the sect's law enforcement hall who were counting the number of people.

The outer disciples have been in the outer sect for so many years, and there are very few unruly ones, so Jiang Li was a little disappointed that there were no latecomers or absentees this time.

The outer disciples boarded the ship one by one. This time, the ship they boarded was not the large flying boat that Jiang Li and his companions had boarded before.

Instead, it was replaced by a flying boat that was completely black in color and had a narrower and longer hull that looked like a warship.

Warships and tower ships have different functional positioning, and the furnishings and decorations inside tend to be simple and practical.

Soon, the warship and flying boat started to take off, and then continued to accelerate. A violent push on the back was felt, and the shaking and vibration were obvious. The riding experience was much worse than that of the building ship.

"Outer sect disciples, this sect incident happened suddenly. I believe you have heard a little about the cause."

After the warship's acceleration gradually stabilized, an elder finally came out to explain the situation.

"The rumors you know are correct! Duan Shuang, the former sect's external affairs elder, fled the sect with his disciples and an external disciple after robbing the sect's treasures!"

"And what you have to do this time is to find out their whereabouts in Yunxi City!"

The disciples below felt heavy-hearted. It was just a rumor before, but now even the last bit of hope was gone.

"But you don't have to worry. Duan Shuang has been severely injured by the sect elders. Your mission this time is just to find where they are hiding."

"Next, each of you will receive a sky-high thunderbolt in your hand. Just find them and detonate the sky-high thunderbolt. You will no longer be needed for the rest of the things. The elders of the sect will take care of it."

"There are eleven disciples who escaped with Duan Shuang, five of whom are in the Foundation Establishment Stage and six in the Qi Refining Stage. As long as we find one of them, we will be considered to have passed the competition and will be allowed to join the Inner Sect. Here are the portraits of all of them. You must look carefully and remember them clearly!"

After hearing what the elder said, the outer disciples had no choice but to accept the reality.

I can only comfort myself with nonsense like "danger and opportunity coexist". After all, in previous years, only the top three were qualified to join the inner sect.

Others can either wait until next year or rely on practice to break through their foundation.

But this year, if they are lucky, twelve people will have the opportunity to join the inner sect.

Soon, one bomb after another was distributed to everyone.

It was a bamboo tube the size of an index finger, with a rope on one end and the other end sealed with red paint.

Jiang Li tied the rope around his wrist as the disciple had taught him. Then, he could trigger the signal by simply shaking his wrist.

"Senior Brother, can you give me a map of Yunxi City?"

While the other outer disciples were crowding over to look at the map, Jiang Li went to a law enforcement disciple on the side and asked for a map.

The map provided by this immortal cultivation sect is different. In addition to the extremely accurate reproduction of the city, it also marks the various feng shui aspects in detail.

Jiang Li studied it for a while.

"It seems that I have thought too much. This city doesn't seem to be built according to any formation. At least you are not doomed after entering..."

The speed of this warship is obviously much faster than that of the tower ship.

After Jiang Li relied on his stamina to squeeze into the crowd and look at the portrait for a while, the flying boat shook violently again and began to slow down slowly.

But the destination has been reached.

The sect just abandoned all the outer disciples at the gate of Yunxi City.

Then the flying boat rose into the sky again, and together with the other two flying boats, slowly circled around the city.

. . . .

"Three warships, this is a really generous move by the sect."

Jiang Li, who was looking up and watching the flying boat take off, suddenly turned sideways to avoid a hand grabbing from behind.

"Brothers, what do you want to do?"

He turned around calmly and looked at the five people who had surrounded him.

"Humph, you know we are your seniors and yet you still dare to hide! Kneel down and kowtow to apologize immediately, and maybe the seniors will spare your life."

These five people were at least a head taller than Jiang Li, and they were surrounding him like a lamb to be slaughtered.

"Oh? Sect disciples are not allowed to kill fellow disciples. Brother, you may have forgotten."

Jiang Li remained calm and composed. It didn't look like he was surrounded by anyone. It clearly looked like he was the one who surrounded these five people.

"Ha, Junior Brother, you misunderstood us. The senior brothers also want to complete the task quickly, so they can only sacrifice Junior Brother."

"Besides, there were always casualties in the outer sect competitions in the past. Now it's like this again. Who cares about our lives? "Just let me break your limbs and don't resist. You can suffer less!"

The leading man grabbed again with his claws, and a metallic color flashed between his five fingers. His momentum was extremely fierce, as if he was going to grab through Jiang Li's shoulder in the next moment.

Pah! Jiang Li raised his hand without changing his expression and grabbed the opponent's wrist, preventing his sharp claws from advancing an inch.

Jiang Li muttered softly, then continued.

"Junior brother, you are only in the middle stage of Qi training. How can you help the brothers complete the mission?"

Their situation at this time also attracted the attention of other outer disciples.

Except for some disciples who didn't like to meddle in other people's affairs and went straight into the city, everyone else looked over with interest.

It is normal for seniors in the outer sect to bully juniors, but those people claimed that they had a way to use Jiang Li to complete the task, which naturally attracted the attention of many disciples.

"Humph! Stop pretending. Your name is Jiang Li! You're friends with that defector Yu Banxia, ​​right?"

"Don't deny it! My people saw you guys come back from the mission together and receive the spirit stones at the Affairs Hall."

The man whose wrist was grabbed by Jiang Li said so. He kept increasing the strength in his hands, trying to pull his arm back, but to no avail.

"So what?"

This work is organized and uploaded by Liujiu Book Bar~~

Jiang Li finally remembered that this person was probably the "someone" that Yan Hong had told him about, the one who was going to target them, but what was his name? He didn't remember it at all.

"Hmph! What do you think? We'll beat you half to death and then hang you on the top of the city wall, where you'll be exposed to the wind and sun and eaten by hundreds of birds! And then we'll see if your friends will come out to save you!"

When the other onlookers heard this, some felt that this method was too cruel and against the harmony of nature, and that it should not be used on fellow disciples.

But some people's eyes lit up when they heard it. Yu Banxia was the weakest of the twelve targets. It could be said that he was the first choice that all the disciples expected.

As long as we find him, not only will there be no danger, but we can also easily join the inner sect. Why not do it!

Of course, the chances of success in attracting Yu Banxia might not be high, but sacrificing Jiang Li to try, what's the big deal? In the eyes of all of them, Jiang Li, the youngest, even if he was lucky enough to reach the middle stage of Qi training, would definitely be the weakest one. How could he make waves in front of them?

"Brother, this is a really good plan, but what if I don't want to?"

The palm with a metallic luster was obviously a gold-based spell. The opponent had been struggling hard, but that kind of spell did not seem to increase his strength. The right hand that was held by Jiang Li could not be pulled back.

However, Jiang Li gradually increased his strength while speaking, and his hand was like an iron hoop, slowly tightening. The gradually increasing pain made the senior brother's face turn red.

"It's not up to you!..."

"Damn it! Let me go!"

He finally couldn't hold his temper anymore and kicked over, trying to free himself.

However, the opposite happened. Jiang Li's kick was faster and more powerful than his! He kicked the opponent's lower abdomen like a pile driver, and only the crisp sound of bones breaking was heard.

This outer sect senior brother named “So-and-so”, who was in the late stage of Qi training, was kicked out, and the ulna and radius at the wrist of his right hand were broken at the same time.

The bloody stomach contents sprayed out in the air in a graceful arc, and the intense pain almost made him faint.

However, this is not the end! An iron chain flew out from Jiang Li's waist.

The only slight difference from before is that there is a large black iron hook at the top of the chain.

This was when Jiang Li was recasting the iron chain. He melted in a damaged hook-shaped magic weapon that he had salvaged from the Mazu River.

Phew!

The iron chain caught up with the flying "someone", and the sharp hook pierced into the flesh. Then the thick and long iron chain suddenly straightened, hanging the opponent in the air for a moment, and then shot back again under the traction of brute force.

Jiang Li was well prepared. He bulged his muscles on his shoulders, pushed his feet hard, and rushed towards the opponent who was flying back.

The first move of the Crashing Mountain Sutra! The demon ape crashes into the mountain!

He showed no mercy in this collision. The moment the other person collided with him, his bones crackled like frying beans and broke into countless pieces.

When the limp body slipped off Jiang Li's body, the four people who were still standing beside him finally came to their senses. They looked at Jiang Li with horror and retreated with trembling legs.

The change just now happened too fast! They didn't have time to react.

Who could have thought! Who could have thought! A new disciple who was cornered by five outer sect brothers would suddenly rise up!

In just a short moment, he instantly killed a senior brother who was in the late stage of Qi training!

This... How is it possible!

"Brothers, how high do you plan to hang me?"

"Junior brother is afraid of heights, so please hang it lower for me when you take the bait, is that ok?"

While Jiang Li was speaking, his figure had disappeared from the spot, and when he reappeared, he had already grabbed someone's neck.

Before the man could even beg for mercy, his fragile cervical vertebrae had already bent to 90 degrees, and his body fell limply.

"So, three brothers, what do you think?"

Plop! Plop! Plop! Two people died in succession, one of whom was a well-known late-stage Qi training master among the outer sect.

The remaining three of them were not only terrified, but had also completely lost the courage to resist.

"Junior Brother Jiang Li! No! Senior Brother Jiang Li! Senior Brother Jiang Li, spare my life!"

"We didn't want to do this! It was all Wu Han's fault! It was Wu Han who instigated us to do such a wrong thing!"

"Brother Jiang Li, we are blind and ignorant! We won't do that again! We really won't do that again! Please be magnanimous and let us go!"

These three were quite smart. They did not accept Jiang Li's life-threatening question. Instead, they knelt on the ground and begged for mercy, calling Jiang Li, who was much younger than them, "Senior Brother".

However, this is the rule in the world of immortal cultivation. Whoever is stronger is the senior brother.

The sight of them kneeling on the ground and begging for mercy was ugly, but it managed to temporarily save their lives.

Jiang Li glanced at the flying boat still circling in the sky, snorted coldly, and put away the chain.

"You want to be immortal? You can! After you sign the contract, your lives will belong to me from now on!"

Jiang Li threw out a piece of yellow contract. The terms on it were extremely harsh. It could be said that Jiang Li would have complete control over their life and death in the future.

"This, Senior Brother Jiang Li... can you..."

Seeing that Jiang Li really put down his weapons, they thought he was merciful. Also, seeing that the terms of the contract were strict, they still wanted Jiang Li to make concessions.

However, when they raised their heads, Jiang Li was no longer in front of them.

From behind, pitch-black hands grabbed the back of the two men's necks, one on the left and one on the right. The iron chain also swung out and flew out, wrapping around the neck of the man in the middle.

"Submit! Or die!"

Brothers, please collect, vote, invest and recommend!
