"Junior Sister Zheng, there's a situation!" That night, Junior Sister Zheng, who was preparing to practice, heard the message from Senior Brother Zhao. She quickly opened the door and walked out.

At this time, the protective magic circle outside had been taken away by Senior Brother Zhao. Without any hesitation, Senior Brother Zhao cast several talismans on himself and rushed in one direction.

Junior Sister Zheng hesitated for a moment. She did not put away her belongings, but thought that this was the government office, the safest place in the secular world.

In addition, Senior Brother Zhao had already left first, so she cast several talismans on herself and chased after him.

Daxia is the sphere of influence of their sect. The sect has long had strict orders not to allow outside cultivators to enter the secular world. Monks have their own world.

The secular world is the foundation of the sect. How can the sect exist without mortals?

When such cultivators who are not from the sect appear within the sphere of influence, the sect disciples must take care of it. Most importantly, by eliminating such cultivators, in addition to obtaining the cultivator's relics, they can also receive rewards from the sect.

Ge Tianqing is a casual cultivator, and this time he is passing through Daxia.

Passing through a secular place protected by a sect is a very common thing.

As long as you don't reveal your monk's methods, there won't be any trouble at all.

If he wanted to go to a place that bypassed the territory of Daxia and the secular areas protected by the sect, he would have to travel several times longer.

So he chose a shorter route, and when it was getting dark, he saw Nanling City, where he could go in to replenish his food.

It is said that those who practice Taoism can live without worldly food, but that has nothing to do with cultivators in the Qi Refining Stage. Like ordinary people, cultivators in the Qi Refining Stage still need to replenish their energy consumption through food.

Ge Tianqing is not a disciple of a sect and does not have precious spiritual food.

As it was a little late, the gates of Nanling City had already been closed.

He chose to climb over the city wall. When he cast the light body spell, he did not conceal it at all, as he thought there were no cultivators in Nanling City.

Who knew that in order to detect the cultivators, Senior Brother Zhao's magic circle activated the function of sensing the fluctuations of spiritual energy.

As soon as Ge Tianqing used the spell to make his body lighter, he was sensed by the magic circle.

He was walking on the street, thinking about finding an inn to stay in, but suddenly he was startled and looked in one direction.

Brother Zhao and Sister Zheng were moving very fast, and they were close enough that they could sense each other.

"Junior sister, be careful, it's a cultivator in the late stage of Qi Refining!" Senior Brother Zhao's face changed slightly, and he transmitted the message to Junior Sister Zheng.

At this time, he had already determined that Ge Tianqing was the cultivator they were looking for, the cultivator who caused the explosion in the back garden of the government office. He was of suitable strength and was discovered at this time.

In a place like Nanling Prefecture, it is rare to see cultivators in decades, so how could it be such a coincidence?

When Junior Sister Zheng heard that it was a cultivator in the late Qi Refining stage, she clapped her hands on her storage bag and a small shield appeared in her hand to protect herself.

Senior Brother Zhao's movements were not slow either. He held a long sword in his hand, and a tortoise-shell-shaped shield surrounded him.

Ge Tianqing was about to speak when he saw the two monks taking out their magical weapons. It was too late for him to say anything.

He stepped back, with a black hammer in his hand.

When Senior Brother Zhao saw him take out the iron hammer magic weapon, he was relieved.

"It's a casual cultivator, prepare to kill him!" He sent a message to Junior Sister Zheng.

The reason why he was judged to be a casual cultivator was because of Ge Tianqing’s poverty.

When encountering a monk ready to fight, Ge Tianqing actually only took out a low-grade iron hammer magic weapon.

Perhaps a low-grade iron hammer magic weapon is quite powerful, but the fact that a cultivator in the late Qi Refining stage uses a low-grade magic weapon can reveal his background.

Senior Brother Zhao was very confident that he could kill Ge Tianqing in one fell swoop. Before he and Junior Sister Zheng came over, they had already cast many talismans on their bodies, but there was no talisman light on Ge Tianqing's body.

The gap between cultivators who come from a sect and those who are independent cultivators is huge, which is why cultivators will try hard to join a sect. Only when they are unable to enter a sect will they be forced to become independent cultivators.

The battle between the monks broke out on the street. This was not a fight that should have taken place in Nanling City, but it was extremely fierce from the beginning.

Senior Brother Zhao’s mid-grade long sword magic weapon flew out and slashed towards Ge Tianqing.

Ge Tianqing's equipment was not as good as Brother Zhao's, but as a casual cultivator he had extensive combat experience. He used the inferior iron hammer magic weapon in his hand to knock down the mid-grade long sword magic weapon.

The low-grade iron hammer magic weapon and the mid-grade long sword magic weapon collided with each other, and a shock wave generated by the collision of spiritual power spread in all directions.

The terrifying shock wave shattered the stone slabs on the street surface, and the debris flew everywhere, hitting the doors and windows of the nearby buildings.

A huge noise was heard first, followed by the sound of countless doors and windows being broken, and then the screams of the people inside the house.

Neither Ge Tianqing, nor Senior Brother Zhao and Junior Sister Zheng cared about the impact of the battle.

Junior Sister Zheng’s attack also arrived. It was a low-grade hairpin magic weapon. Low-grade hairpin magic weapons were not very powerful, but they were extremely concealed.

After Ge Tianqing blocked Brother Zhao's attack, a low-grade hairpin magic weapon stabbed his shoulder from the side.

Junior Sister Zheng's low-grade hairpin magic weapon was released when she was holding a primary attack talisman. Ge Tianqing did not expect her attack to be so sinister, and only noticed the talisman.

When the inferior hairpin magic weapon reached Ge Tianqing's shoulder, he sensed the presence of the inferior hairpin magic weapon and quickly lowered his body, but he was still left with a wound on his shoulder by the inferior hairpin magic weapon.

Blood flowed out of the wound, and attached to the wound was Junior Sister Zheng's spiritual power.

Although Ge Tianqing is much stronger, it is not difficult for him to expel the spiritual power from the wound. The problem is that during the battle, expelling the spiritual power from the wound will distract him and affect the battle.

"You deserve to die!" Ge Tianqing shouted with a distorted face.

He was inexplicably attacked by two disciples of the sect, who killed him on the first encounter. How could he not be furious?

The unique ruthlessness of independent cultivators is fully revealed when their lives are threatened, but independent cultivators are not completely without opportunities.

He knew that if he didn't fight back with all his might, he might die here today.

He wiped his hand over the storage bag, and a stack of primary talismans appeared in his hand. Without any hesitation, he threw all the primary talismans to Senior Brother Zhao.

Attacks transformed from various spiritual energies such as fire, ice, and wind blades instantly rushed towards Senior Brother Zhao. Senior Brother Zhao quickly took out an intermediate defense talisman from his storage bag and activated it.

Senior Brother Zhao was afraid that the intermediate defensive talisman could not block it, so he retreated, took back his intermediate-grade long sword magic weapon, and injected more spiritual power into the intermediate-grade tortoise shell magic weapon beside him.

He, who came from a sect, was gold, while Ge Tianqing was rubble. It was impossible for him to fight to the death with Ge Tianqing.

Just as he stepped back, Junior Sister Zheng was left alone in front of Ge Tianqing.
