Chapter 108 Three-Year Agreement: Long Aotian becomes smarter? Waving the flag!
“···”
"teacher?"
Xiao Linger secretly called out to Yao Lao, who understood and after investigating with her spiritual sense, she said, "I can't see any clues, so it shouldn't be hidden by someone else."
"Isn't it hidden by others?"
"What about him?" Xiao Ling'er was surprised.
Medicine Grandma smiled and said, "Could it be that she has taken a fancy to you?"
"With your looks, you will surely charm countless men."
"teacher!"
"Please stop laughing at me."
Xiao Ling'er didn't know whether to laugh or cry: "I feel a little uneasy in my heart, and I always feel like I am an enemy everywhere."
"I know you're uneasy, so I'm teasing you." Medicine Grandma laughed and said, "Don't worry too much. With your current fighting power, if you go all out, you won't be suppressed or killed that easily!"
"Besides, the teacher is here!"
"This person may be friendly to you, or for other reasons."
"No need to worry about it."
"Yes, teacher."
After being comforted by Medicine Grandma, Xiao Ling'er gradually calmed down and was no longer so worried.
This kind of worry is not the kind of uneasiness that comes from "spiritual perception", but the normal worry that people have when facing a major event that is about to happen.
······
The teleportation array is activated.
Xiao Ling'er was already familiar with the route.
But Lu Ming found it very novel.
He had been on the teleportation array many times, but this was the first time he had been on a super teleportation array that spanned such a long distance.
However, his cultivation is now quite strong, and when he is away from home, he naturally starts sharing his combat power all the time. With his cultivation level of the eighth level of the fifth realm, that feeling of discomfort is almost negligible to him.
soon.
Transmission completed.
The dense crowd of figures quickly dispersed.
Xiao Ling'er also left quietly.
only···
Before she had walked far, she stopped and looked at the handsome man who was following her closely.
"My fellow Taoist, why are you following me?"
"Fellow Daoist Xiao Ling'er."
The handsome man clasped his fists cheerfully and said, "Nice to meet you."
Xiao Linger raised her eyebrows: "Do you know me?"
"I am ashamed to say that two years ago at the Hongwu Immortal City Alchemy Competition, I had the honor of witnessing you win the championship from the stands."
"Since then, I have been thinking about it all the time. I never thought I would see you again today."
"By the way, my name is Lu Ming."
"Lu Ming?"
Xiao Ling'er muttered, making sure that she didn't know him and had never heard of this name, and said, "Nice to meet you, but why are you following me?"
Lu Ming smiled slightly: "Daoyou, you misunderstood. It just happens that our destinations are temporarily the same."
"If you don't believe me, why don't I go ahead?"
Xiao Linger took a half step back: "Please."
"please."
Lu Ming was also unambiguous. He clasped his fists and took a step forward.
His destination is the Northern Territory!
Firstly, I wanted to see if the little girl was in any trouble.
Secondly, to see if Xiao Ling'er needed help.
The three-year agreement is not simple.
He believed that Xiao Ling'er would not miss the three-year agreement, but she might not need help.
However, there are still a few days left in the three-year agreement, so there is no need to follow her all the time.
Therefore, it doesn’t matter if you take the lead.
"I will just wander around the Northern Territory first, learn about the local customs and create the Xing character secret, and then help Xiao Ling'er to complete the three-year agreement."
"Finally, go find the little girl."
"See if she can comprehend the Heaven Devouring Demonic Art and the Secret of the Word 'Xing'. If she can, then try to find an opportunity to teach her."
If everything goes smoothly along the way...
Then you can try to continue to understand!
······
"In that case, it is my disciple who is overly suspicious."
Watching Lu Ming walk away alone, Xiao Ling'er whispered to herself.
Medicine Grandma didn't say anything, but just said: "At this moment, I feel that this person is a little strange."
"Teacher?" Xiao Ling'er was stunned: "But what did you find?"
"I didn't discover anything. It's just that this person is only at the second level of cultivation. If his cultivation level is real, he wouldn't be so confident."
"How can a second-level junior cultivator be so respectful and humble in front of a fifth-level alchemy genius like you?"
“···”
"Could it be that he can't see through the disciple's cultivation?"
"He shouldn't be able to see through it, but even if he can't, he can guess that your cultivation is definitely far superior to his. Given your status and position, isn't he afraid that you will hate him or even kill him?"
"This is not in line with the style of ordinary monks."
Medicine Grandma said with certainty: "This person is either hiding his cultivation."
"Or..., he's not very smart."
Xiao Linger: “…”
"If he hides his cultivation, even you, the teacher, can't see it, then???"
"There are two possibilities. One is that his cultivation is extremely high, and the other is that he has some secret skills."
"Anyway, be careful next time you see this person."
"No matter which possibility it is, try not to provoke him and stay away from him."
Hiding your cultivation? That's shameful, there must be some ulterior motive!
Bad brain?
Then you have to be more careful, so as not to get too close to him and lower his intelligence!
"Teacher is right!"
Xiao Ling'er agreed with this deeply.
Her main point is to listen to advice.
The teacher will never harm himself.
Moreover, the teacher is very experienced, many times more experienced than myself.
If you don’t listen to the advice of the elderly, you will suffer the consequences!
"Don't talk about that."
Medicine Grandma changed the subject and said, "How do you feel about this three-year agreement?"
"The Xiao family's main branch is located in the imperial capital of the Qianyuan Immortal Dynasty. It is definitely unrealistic for you to knock on their door."
"Even if you and I join forces as master and disciple, we will definitely go there without coming back. We must have a plan."
"Indeed."
Xiao Linger sighed: "However, I do have an immature idea, and I would like to ask the teacher for guidance..."
After a moment.
Medicine Grandma smiled and said, "Not bad, not bad!"
"Your plan coincides with what I have in mind."
"Teacher, do you think it's good?"
Xiao Ling'er immediately made up her mind: "If that's the case, then I will immediately start looking for a Feng Shui treasured place suitable for burying Xiao Jie!"
"Go ahead."
"However, you'd better find an opportunity to change your appearance first, and don't expose yourself before fighting with Xiao Jie."
"Otherwise, the process will certainly be full of dangers."
"Your master said that your junior brother once warned us that there are other killers, and there are quite a few of them!"
"Speaking of which, your junior brother has a strong background and is from the Northern Territory. He still owes you a favor. If you ask him to help, this trip will definitely be much safer."
"Didn't he promise to give you his life?"
Xiao Ling'er was tempted, but after a brief pause, she shook her head and said, "This is my private matter, so it's better not to involve him."
After hearing this, Yao Lao was not anxious at all, but smiled secretly.
Such a kind of heart, such a strong sense of friendship and loyalty~!
I will definitely not make the same mistake again!
After leaving this fairy city, Xiao Linger found a deserted place to change her appearance, and then rushed to Qianyuan Fairy Dynasty.
Then, they spent several days looking for a suitable burial place for Xiao Jie in the Qianyuan Immortal Dynasty.
Thunder Mountains.
It is located in the territory of Qianyuan Immortal Dynasty, more than 30,000 miles away from the imperial capital.
It gets its name because it is dark all year round, covered by dark clouds, and often struck by thunder.
Because of this, there are almost no humans or animals in this mountain range.
It’s too dangerous!
Thunder strikes from the sky at any time, with almost no warning, and the place where it strikes is completely random. Any place in the entire mountain range may be struck by lightning at any time.
The weak are restricted!
And because this place is too barren, strong people generally don't come in, so it is extremely deserted inside.
But if you stand outside the Thunder Mountains and look far away, you will see an extremely magnificent scene.
Under the thick dark clouds and gloomy sky, a mountain range connects hundreds of mountains together, like a giant dragon lying low, enduring the punishment of thunder again and again.
"I have some impression of this place."
There was no one around, so Medicine Grandma revealed half of her body, looked out at the thunder that occasionally fell from afar, and sighed, "Many years ago, there was a legend."
"There was a black dragon that broke the rules of heaven in the fairy world and was banished to the mortal world. A powerful person in the fairy world used magical powers to turn it into a rock. From then on, it would suffer thunder punishment every day for the rest of its life."
"However, the legend is too vague and no one knows whether it is true or not."
"It is quite appropriate to choose this place as the site for the war."
"Um."
Xiao Linger nodded: "The weak cannot enter here, and because it is extremely unstable, it is impossible to set up a formation."
"Three years of agreement. I don't bother to use formations against the enemy, but I don't want others to use it against me either!"
"And even if we flee later, with these thunderbolts constantly falling to clean up our 'traces', it should be easier for us to hide our bodies."
"only···"
“There are risks as well.”
"If you don't have enough luck and are constantly struck by lightning~"
"Luck is also a part of strength." Yao Lao said seriously: "With your luck, I think you should not be weaker than Xiao Jie!"
"I think so too."
Xiao Ling'er smiled.
"Then the next step is to spread the news."
······
A few days later, a piece of news spread within the Qianyuan Immortal Dynasty, and it spread faster and faster.
"Xiao Jie of the Xiao family, the three-year agreement is coming to an end, and I, Xiao Ling'er, am back!
When the time comes, I will wait for you at the 97th mountain of the Thunder Mountain Range... to die!"
In the end, like a raging tornado, almost everyone in the Qianyuan Immortal Dynasty knew about it.
Countless monks were shocked by this.
"Xiao Ling'er? Who is this person?"
“Never heard of it!”
"A three-year agreement? That's interesting."
"You actually challenged me to a fight in the Thunder Mountain Range? You're really brave. If that's the case, Xiao Ling'er should have entered the fifth realm, otherwise, she wouldn't dare to be so arrogant."
"The fifth realm, challenged Xiao Jie, also surnamed Xiao? I know this Xiao Jie, he is the number one prodigy of the Xiao family, and has been identified as the young master of the family. Over the years, he has been cultivated by the Xiao family with all his strength, and his strength is amazing!
Could it be that Xiao Ling'er is also from the Xiao family?"
"You are the one who is talking nonsense. If you are not a member of the Xiao family, how can you have the surname Xiao? But, as members of the same family, why are you so incompatible with each other, even to the point of life and death?"
“···”
Confuse.
Don't understand.
But it does not prevent this matter from becoming a topic of conversation for many monks in their spare time.
而对于那些强者、大势力而言，却是颇为开心。
“有趣，当真是有趣。”
“届时，倒是可以去凑个热闹。”
“派人盯着萧家，那萧杰若是有什么风吹草动，立刻汇报！”
“呵，派人前往雷霆山脉外围盯着，若是萧家之人前去，立刻来报，老夫，要亲自去凑个热闹。”
“萧家，哼！那萧万里仗着自己是陛下身边的红人，靠着陛下赏赐突破第七境之后，愈发肆意妄为了，我倒想看看，若是他家天骄葬身雷霆山脉，那老家伙的面色会是何等精彩！”
“···”
“萧万里跨入第七境，寿命大幅度增长，死一个天骄，对他而言，或许也算不得什么，只要他还在，萧家便可继续辉煌，但，至少能让他生气，恶心。
只要能恶心到他，本官，便开心。”
“···”
······
对于第三方修士、势力而言，得知消息之后，反应各不相同。
震惊者有之、难以置信者有之、愤怒者有之，幸灾乐祸者，同样有之。
萧家。
萧战得知消息，眉头紧皱。
“那些天网的金牌杀手干什么吃的？！”
“数月过去，竟然还未得手？”
“甚至此刻，这贱婢都已入北域，已到家门口，他们还没有动静？”
“都是废物不成？”
他忍不住破口大骂。
好气啊！
三年之约的由来可不光彩！
虽然各大家族都有‘黑暗面’，但若是此事被掀开了说，萧家的颜面，便是彻底保不住了。
再则，一族两天命！
本是天大的幸运。
结果到最后，却要搞的两大天命自相残杀···
传出去同样会令人笑掉大牙，整个萧家都要沦为笑柄！
萧家众长老也是十分郁闷。
“传令下去。”
骂完之后，萧战怒道：“给我全力以赴搜寻那贱婢踪迹，务必要在三年之约开始之前将其击毙！”
“再联系天网，质问他们到底怎么办事的！？”
“萧灵儿都已到家门口了，他们杀手，莫非还在西南域晃悠不成？”
“一群废物！”
“···”
也就是此时，一位长老起身，面色难看道：“家主，就在瞬息之前，天网联系我，说是任务已经完成？？？”
萧战：“？？？”
众长老：“？？？”
随即，他们都笑了。
萧战也是露出笑容：“如此说来，倒是老夫错怪天网了。”
“他们的实力不错，情报能力也挺强。”
“萧灵儿才刚搅动风雨便已经被他们斩杀。”
“没事了。”
“会议就此解散，方才的诸多安排也尽皆···”
“家主！”
那长老却是面色古怪，又道：“我话还没说完。”
“那你倒是说啊！卖什么关子？”他身旁之人不满，捶了他一拳，催促着。
“他们还说，那些金牌杀手潜伏数月之久终于寻到机会，将那皓月宗萧灵儿一击必杀，但却未曾想到那皓月宗不知为何已然有所准备，所以他们得手之后未能全身而退。”
“此刻，正被皓月宗大能纠缠着，在想办法脱离、逃回北域。”
他嘴角抽搐，口歪眼斜：“还说···若是折损金牌杀手过多，咱们萧家得提高任务奖励。”
萧战：“？？？”
萧家众长老：“什···什么？！”
“萧镇雄，你老糊涂啦？！”萧战呵斥：“什么乱七八糟颠三倒四！”
“萧灵儿分明在北域，在乾元仙朝、在我们家门口蹦跶，他天网杀手在皓月宗杀个什么萧灵儿？还正想办法逃回北域。”
“萧灵儿就在北域，他们往哪个北域逃？！”
“这···这不关我事啊家主。”
萧镇雄无辜道：“这是天网那边的消息。”
萧战：“···”
他深吸一口气，几乎被气死。
随即，念头一转，回过味儿来：“他们的意思是，他们在西南域、在皓月宗，刚刚击杀了一个萧灵儿？！”
萧镇雄苦笑：“似乎就是如此。”
萧战当即破口大骂：“那他妈的我们家门口的萧灵儿是谁？！”
“他们杀错人了，那些蠢货！！！”
“告诉他们杀错人了，休想蒙混过关完成任务，还想要我萧家提高任务奖励？做梦！”
“我萧家一块元石都不会给！”
“之前的订金，还得分文不少的给本家主退回来，否则，萧家与他们没完！”
萧镇雄缩了缩脖子。
萧家跟天网没完？
貌似···
萧家不是天网的对手啊。
“还愣着干什么？”
“你聋了？！”
在萧战的催促下，萧镇雄也只能硬着头皮联系天网。
很快，天网回信。
“家主，天网回信了。”
“怎么说？！”
“他，他们说···”
“说他们没杀错人，就是皓月宗天骄萧灵儿，第四境修为···且皓月宗再无第二个萧灵儿，若是杀错了，那也是我们的任务内容有误，而非他们杀错人。”
“订金分文不退，还需我等补上剩余费用，否则，天网会自行出手猎杀萧家之人，直到所获财物等同剩余费用。”
“？！”
我尼玛！！！
砰！
萧战一巴掌拍下，厚重玉石桌瞬间爆碎：“岂有此理！！！”
“简直是···岂有此理！”
这一刻，他暴怒。
但却不知到底是哪里出了问题。
天网是老牌杀手组织了，倒是也不至于在这方面撒谎，或许他们的确杀错了人，但，他们竟然如此回复，便代表他们所杀，的确是皓月宗唯一一个萧灵儿。
那···
特么的在家门口蹦跶的萧灵儿又是谁？
她不是皓月宗萧灵儿吗？？？
萧镇雄苦哈哈猜测道：“莫非那贱婢拜入皓月宗之时，隐藏了身份？”
“亦或是···”
“当初的消息有误，萧灵儿并非来自皓月宗？”
又有人猜测道：“也可能咱们都被骗了，他们在祸水东引！皓月宗根本就是个幌子！”
萧战：“[○｀Д○]！！！”
他狠狠瞪了这两人一眼，生气！
要特么你们告诉我？
显得你们聪明，我很蠢？这么简单的问题我会想不到？
但是你们特么这么说出来，就真显得我很蠢、很呆了啊！！！
“罢了！”
他大手一挥，直接转移话题：“天网那边暂且不与他们扯皮，当务之急是将萧灵儿找出来、镇杀！”
“否则真到三年之约那日，萧杰无论应战与否，于我萧家而言，都并非好事。”
“徒增笑料。”
“是，家主！”
······
锦衣卫总部，设立在一平平无奇的荒山之内。
秦雨坐镇，一边修炼，一边处理各处情报。
虽然还只是初创，但得益于秦王府的人手和与势力，锦衣卫已然开始初步运转。
“倒也不错了。”
“虽然还无法监听、探查那些隐秘情报，但至少这些公开的消息，能在最短时间内汇总并送来。”
“可在第一时间内知晓北域大事。”
“至于那些隐秘，却是急不得，唯有徐徐图之了。”
“···”
“咦？！”
突然，他取出一块传音玉符，眉头微皱。
“来自乾元仙朝的情报。”
“其中一条是···”
“大师姐萧灵儿将在雷霆山脉第九十七山，与萧家萧杰履行三年之约？”
“？！”
“三年之约？”
“看来，大师姐也有一段不为人知的往事啊。”
他沉吟，随即取出联系林凡的传音玉符：“师尊，弟子发现···”
很快，林凡回信：“为师已然知晓，在不暴露锦衣卫、不影响自身的前提下，你可自行见机行事。”
“是，师尊。”
得到回应，秦雨松了口气。
“萧家···”
他略微沉思，而后下令：“在最短时间内，将乾元仙朝萧家宗家一切能收集到的情报，送到我面前来！”
半日后。
看完最新情报，秦雨皱眉。
“这萧家不可怕，与秦王府相比，非一合之敌。”
“但乾元仙朝与我朝势同水火，秦王府大能若是入境，势必会被全面追杀，想要深入雷霆山脉，并不现实。”
“隐藏身份也不行。”
“那萧万里乃是乾元皇帝跟前红人，这一战，必然会有朝中强者关注···”
“大师姐此行，定然极为凶险。”
他起身，背负双手，来回踱步。
“不行，我得助大师姐一臂之力。”
“那萧家若是讲道理，便也罢了。”
“若是要乱来···”
“左右我流星的身份还未曾暴露，且我这个小王爷乃是‘废人’，根本无人关注，也没多少关于我的情报。”
“我···”
“自己去！”
······
“坚强啊。”
揽月宗内，‘林凡’联系范坚强：“你大师姐即将在雷霆山脉完成‘三年之约’，你有什么看法？”
范坚强：“···”
“师尊您说笑了，大师姐宛若天人，定然可以横扫一切、逢凶化吉，弟子能有什么看法？”
“呵呵。”
范坚强：“···”
“咳。”
嘴上说着没有任何看法。
但这货却是一扭头便取出传音玉符，尝试联系龙傲天。
“蠢货，你联系本少作甚？”
龙傲天霸气外露，一如既往，不将任何人看在眼中。
“呵，你还跟小爷傲？”范坚强却是半点也不给面子：“唐武呢？杀了吗？还没有吧？就这、就这啊？你还狂个啥？”
“小爷联系你，是给你面子，也是给你个机会，让你证明自己，你要不要？”
“只要你能证明自己，小爷我就承认你厉害。”
“你敢去吗？”
龙傲天嗤笑：“少给本少用激将法，真当本少蠢么？一次又一次，将本少当枪使？”
“你不蠢。”范坚强正色道：“只是胆小。”
“什么绝世天骄、什么当世无敌？笑话而已！”
“罢了，日后，咱们也不必再联系。”
“我稍后便将你的传音玉符毁去。”
“还以为你多厉害，真可镇压当世一切敌，原来···”
“呵。”
“算我看错你了。”
······
正隐藏在暗处的龙傲天听的太阳穴狂跳、脑仁儿直突突，几乎忍不住开口大骂，好在考虑到情况特殊，一而再、再而三的忍耐，才终于忍下去。
随即以神识勾勒信息回复：“这次是杀谁，你说！”
马德！
你要说本少蠢，本少或许还忍了。
毕竟，本少一开口就骂你蠢货，你骂回来，且本少目前也没什么好办法直接弄死你，忍也就忍了。
可你竟然说本少胆小？
感到失望？
还不要联系了？？？
我尼玛，本少肯受此辱？！
“哟？倒也有点胆识。”
“也没什么，不是让你杀谁，只是我大师姐你晓得吧？真正的绝世天骄，非但战力过人，一身炼丹之术，更是出神入化！”
“数日后，她将在北域乾元仙朝雷霆山脉第九十七山，约战萧家天骄！”
“你且看着，我大师姐定然能将那萧家天骄击败！”
“只是，小爷我估摸着，萧家那些狗日的肯定不会坐视不理，但我大师姐应当也能应对。”
“万一，小爷我是说万一我大师姐无法应对，而你，若是能做到我大师姐都做不到之事，将那萧家之人镇压，小爷我便认可你了！”
龙傲天：“···”
又特么把本少当刀使？！
但你别说，他还真挺意动！
萧灵儿之名他也有所耳闻，虽然自己无需外物也可一路变强，但若是能有这样一个侍妾跟随，能替自己暖床、还能替自己炼丹，何乐而不为？
若是有时间去一趟，摆平萧家，岂不能彰显自己的男子气概？
以本少的实力与气魄，再来一出英雄救美，那萧灵儿还不恭恭敬敬拜倒在本少胯下？
如此一琢磨，龙傲天更想去了。
“可惜···”
“时间来不及，必须作出取舍。”
龙傲天短暂思索后，还是选择拒绝：“不妥，时间冲突，来不及！”
“下次再说！”
“你特么就是不敢去吧？”范坚强急了。
“胡说八道，这仙武大陆还有本少不敢做的事？区区一个家族，算的了什么？能比的过不朽古族？！”
“你且等着便是，本少正在谋划一件大事，短则三五日、长则十天半月，就是你躲在那鸟不拉屎的揽月宗，都能听到消息！”
“届时你便会知晓，并非本少不敢，而是，本少在做真正的大事！”
“你吹牛！”
“小爷我···”
“蠢货，你等着便是！”
此番联络，在两人互喷中结束。
范坚强摸着下巴，有些痛心疾首：“狗日的，龙傲天变心了啊，这把刀竟然也有挥不动的时候？！”
“不过我倒是能感觉到他挺动心的，换言之，他真在谋划一件大事？”
“我倒要看看，你到底要干点什么。”
“至于大师姐那边···”
“咳，吉人自有天相。”
“不碍事，不碍事。”
“只是少了一张不太稳定的牌而已，问题不大。”
“···”
······
数日时间，一晃而逝。
这一日，萧杰出关。
眸子开合间，好似有无尽玄妙在汇聚，极为惊人。
甚至，还有一丝丝‘命运’气息环绕。
其侍女一见，顿时拜倒在地，大喜道：“恭贺主人再度突破，离第六知命境已不远矣！”
“哼。”
“半步知命罢了，终究还差了一筹。”
“差一契机。”
乍一听，像是自谦，实则，却是下巴都已翘到天上。
脸上骄傲之色极其浓郁。
作为九十九岁，还不到百岁的年轻天骄，便已半步知命，若是能有些许契机，便可在百岁之前突破为第六境强者！
这等进度，足以自傲。
“但本少感觉到，契机近在眼前！”
“那萧灵儿可有消息？”
“主人···”侍女面色一白。
萧杰当即皱眉：“说！！！”
“是，主人。”
“那萧灵儿近几日放出狠话，让主人您在三年之约那日前往雷霆山脉···受、受死。”
说完，她小心翼翼盯着萧杰，唯恐他动怒。
“嗯？！”
萧杰眉头一挑：“好胆！”
“竟敢如此狂妄，简直是自寻死路！”
“不过，如此也好。”
“本少能感觉到，他，便是本少的契机！”
“只要将其击杀，完成三年之约，本少心境便可彻底圆满，跨入第六境！”
“稍后替本少传出消息，本少会前往应战，将她轻松镇杀！”
“是，主人。”
侍女这才松了口气，但却还是小心翼翼观察他的表情，唯恐他突然动怒···
萧杰却是被他看的眉头微皱：“看什么？！”
“本少现在火气很大。”
“给本少灭火！”
他冷着脸，伸手按在侍女头顶，将其按的跪伏在自己身前。
侍女心中无奈苦笑，却也只能照做。
片刻后，萧杰舒服的眯起双眼。
······
萧灵儿入雷霆山脉。
在此之前，她已然恢复本来面貌。
到这一步，再隐藏身份，已然没有意义了。
自己是来完成三年之约。
这是她的承诺，也是···
对逝去父母的祭奠！
她要堂堂正正一战，击败、斩杀萧杰，证明自己、完成承诺。
同时，以萧杰之死，来告慰父母在天之灵！
“来了！”
雷霆山脉之外，早已布满眼线。
萧灵儿一往无前入雷霆山脉，没有半点隐藏，立刻被这些眼线所得悉。
很快，消息传开。
“萧灵儿已入雷霆山脉。”
“所谓的三年之约近在眼前！”
“那萧杰也已公开放话会来应约，如此说来，这一战就在这两日了！”
“走，入雷霆山脉！”
“这一战，无论结果如何，老夫都要看萧家的笑话，哈哈哈。”
“虽然本官希望那萧杰战死，但想来···应当没有可能才是。那萧杰本身天赋便极为惊人，况且萧灵儿是孤家寡人，反观萧家之人却是不讲道义。”
“纵然萧灵儿能胜那萧杰，只怕最后的结局也···”
“···”
不知道多少人，闻风而动！
萧灵儿早已猜到会如此，却并不在意。
甚至，人来得多，对她而言，并没有坏处。
萧家这些年一直在发展是不错，但仙朝之中派系繁杂，谁没有敌人？
这些看热闹的人中，或许会有萧家仇敌，且暗中给萧家下绊子。
人多。
或许反而是好事。
只是。
让萧灵儿颇为意外的是，当她步入雷霆山脉第九十七山时，却见到一道预料之外的身影。
“陆鸣？”
“啊，灵儿姑娘。”
正在山脚下‘缩头缩脚’，像是在躲避天雷的陆鸣顿时面露喜色：“你来了？”
“我办完事之后，听闻姑娘消息，颇有些担忧。”
“但自身实力低微，也不知三年之约到底是哪一日，怕赶不上，便提前过来了。”
“姑娘不要误会。”
“在下别无他意。”
“只是···”
“同为西南域之人，想替姑娘摇旗助威。”
萧灵儿：“···”
“陆道友有心了。”
她心中更是警惕。
药姥也道：“他必然是隐藏修为！”
“否则，一个第二境修士，岂敢孤身一人深入雷霆山脉？就为了替你这样一个不算熟悉之人摇旗助威，不要命了不成？”
霹雳！
说话间，一道惊雷落在两人不远处。
伴随着巨响，有万斤巨石瞬间化为齑粉！
“啊！”
陆鸣跳脚。
被吓的不轻。
药姥：“···”
“除非他真的傻。”
“亦或者，他喜欢你？”
“听闻，有人为了爱情奋不顾身，无惧生死。”
“老师您别笑话弟子了。”
萧灵儿苦笑。
随即对陆鸣道：“道友有心了，但···还请退出第九十七山，否则稍后交手，只怕会误伤。”
“啊，也是。”
“道友，我相信你一定能赢！”
“加油！”
陆鸣挥舞着拳头，随即捂着头跑了。
就像是怕被雷劈的凡人。
萧灵儿一时无言。
随即，她登上第九十七山之巅，盘膝坐于山崖之上，闭目调整自身，要以最佳状态应敌！
不时有天雷落下，最近时，几乎就在其身旁。
但她始终未曾移动哪怕分毫，也未曾睁开双目，如同在闭关修行一般。
附近几座山头之上所汇聚修士越来越多。
他们远远眺望，见此情形，大多有些吃惊，议论纷纷。
“这萧灵儿倒是好气魄！”
“在这雷霆山脉还能如此静心修炼，这般心境非常人所及。”
"I think she is just pretending. She has already entered the fifth realm. Although there are dense thunders in the Thunder Mountain Range, there are not many thunders that can threaten the fifth realm."
"If it were me, I would dare to do that too."
“···”
"The latest news is that the Xiao family has left the imperial capital and is heading towards the Thunder Mountain Range!"
"Oh? Xiao Jie is here too."
"nature!"
"However, Xiao Zhan, the head of the Xiao family, and many elders have also come here. Xiao Ling'er is destined to die here today."
“What a pity.”
"Such a man of such spirit and talent, such a young fifth-level cultivator, with a lovely appearance, but today he is going to die."
“···”
······
A few hours later.
The Xiao family and their group arrived at a leisurely pace.
Xiao Jie took the lead, followed by the powerful men of the Xiao family. They headed towards the 97th Mountain without dodging.
On the way, there were occasional thunder strikes, but the one with the lowest realm among them was Xiao Jie, who was half a step into the sixth realm and was not afraid of these thunders.
Only one of them used defensive measures to protect everyone and arrived unharmed.
Seeing Xiao Ling'er sitting cross-legged on the cliff, Xiao Jie looked at her indifferently.
thunderbolt!
There was a loud thunder.
He remained calm, his eyes reflecting thunder: "Xiao Ling'er, you had a chance to survive, but you acted so arrogantly."
"Three-year agreement..."
"I have arrived."
"Your life has also begun to count down."
"bring it on."
"Three years."
"Let me see how much progress you, the fallen genius, have made in the past three years after recovering."
"You're very noisy." Xiao Ling'er stood up, her momentum rising steadily.
"The humiliation of that day and the blood feud of my parents will all be repaid today."
As she finished speaking, the aura of her fifth level second realm rose, and she took the initiative to attack.
Everyone in the Xiao family immediately dispersed, flew into the air, and surrounded the battlefield.
Xiao Jie chuckled: "Fifth level, second level, that's pretty good."
"But in front of me, it's nothing."
As he waved his hand, divine light rushed towards him, blocking all the attacks from Xiao Ling'er: "Is that all?"
"If that's all, it would be too boring."
"My teacher once said."
Xiao Linger raised her head, her aura surged again, and under the gaze of everyone, her cultivation level soared: "Villain, died because of talking too much."
"Fifth level of the fifth realm?!"
Everyone was shocked.
"This woman actually hid her cultivation?"
"This secret technique is quite good. We didn't even notice any clues about it before."
"Huh? This is a little more interesting."
"But it's still not good enough!"
Xiao Jie's eyes narrowed slightly.
In my heart, there was a nameless anger burning, and I was extremely jealous.
After nearly ninety years of hard practice, I have only just come halfway to understanding my destiny.
But she had soared from the third level of the first realm to the fifth level of the fifth realm in just three years? !
Three years, surpassing four great realms!!!
What a talent this is!
If I give her another two years, wouldn't I be dead for sure? !
"Today, she will die."
Jealousy drives people crazy!
Xiao Jie was shocked.
Everyone in the Xiao family was filled with murderous intent.
Only Xiao Zhan, in his murderous heart, had a hint of regret.
original···
This must be the Xiao family's genius, fighting for the Xiao family!!!
This is the child of destiny!
pity.
······
"Yes, you are worthy of my attack, die!"
Xiao Jie couldn't hold back his killing intent, and attacked frantically. In an instant, divine light flashed in his face, and even the aura of 'fate' filled the air. He launched an endless offensive towards Xiao Ling'er.
"It's still uncertain who will die."
"The first of the Nine Transformations of Immortal Fire!"
Boom, Xiao Linger's cultivation level skyrocketed.
"Three thousand thunders."
Swish!
thunderbolt!
There was a loud thunder, and at this moment Xiao Ling'er actually stepped on the lightning, dodged the attack from the sky with amazing speed, and rushed in front of Xiao Jie!
The Lingyun Sword suddenly appeared and broke through the air.
"True and profound!"
Tear!
The sword flashed, cutting through the thunder and going straight to Xiao Jie's forehead!
