Li Yuanba used the "A World Away" technique and followed Tang Xue Ning. No matter how fast Tang Xue Ning accelerated, she could not get rid of him.
Tang Xue Ning was the middle-stage Nascent Soul swordsman that Old Jian had found for him. She was an icy-cold female swordsman. Not to mention communicating with her, even looking into her eyes made one feel like being stabbed.
She is not as weak as other female cultivators, she is just a pure sword cultivator.
This was the first time she brought Li Yuanba to complete a mission. She didn't want to bring Li Yuanba, who was a burden, along. The missions of a sword cultivator in the middle stage of the Nascent Soul were extremely dangerous. What was the point of bringing a sword cultivator in the early stage of the Nascent Soul along?
But she had no choice but to accept it, because it was Master Jian's order.
In addition, Li Yuanba's identity also made Tang Xue Ning helpless. Li Yuanba was a formal member of the Jian family, while Tang Xue Ning was a reserve member of the Jian family. She had not passed the test yet and had not condensed the 'Breaking Void Sword Intent'.
This is not to say that Tang Xue Ning's talent in swordsmanship is poor, but that her sword intent is not compatible with the 'Breaking Void Sword Intent', which makes it many times more difficult for her to comprehend the 'Breaking Void Sword Intent'.
After leaving Jianyi Chongxiao Pavilion, Tang Xue Ning used sword escape, hoping to embarrass Li Yuanba with her speed and let Li Yuanba know the gap between her and the sword cultivator in the middle stage of Nascent Soul.
Who would have known that when Tang Xue Ning performed the sword escape, Li Yuanba first performed the sword escape but was unable to keep up, and then used the divine foot skill.
"Let us formally meet. My name is Tang Xue Ning, and you can call me Uncle Tang!" Tang Xue Ning stopped her sword flight and said coldly to Li Yuanba.
Li Yuanba didn't care about Tang Xue Ning's cold attitude. He could sense that Tang Xue Ning had this kind of character.
"My name is Li Yuanba, Uncle Tang can just call me by my name!" Li Yuanba also introduced himself.
Master Jian had not given a detailed introduction before, but Tang Xue Ning took the initiative to introduce herself, which showed that at least in terms of speed, Tang Xue Ning recognized Li Yuanba.
Tang Xue Ning also knew that in order to join the Jian family, one must have mastered the 'Breaking Void Sword Intent'. The 'Breaking Void Sword Intent' alone would allow Li Yuanba to possess combat power that exceeds that of an ordinary Yuanying early stage sword cultivator.
She also understood what Master Jian meant. He was preparing to train Li Yuanba so that he could possess the "Sword Intent of Breaking Void", making him the top existence in the early Nascent Soul stage.
It is extremely difficult to find someone who can put pressure on Li Yuanba among the cultivators in the early Nascent Soul stage. Such cultivators in the early Nascent Soul stage are all talented cultivators in super powers.
Therefore, if you want Li Yuanba to grow quickly, the best way is to find him an opponent in the middle Nascent Soul stage, so as to better hone him.
"I'll share the task with you. This time the task is to kill the three evil men of the Ping clan. Here is their information. Take a look first!" Tang Xue Ning said as she shared the task with Li Yuanba.
Although her attitude was cold, she did not mean to make things difficult and even showed some attentiveness.
This is also the reason why Master Jian chose Tang Xue Ning. Following Tang Xue Ning, a female swordsman, Li Yuanba can get through the initial adjustment period more easily.
Li Yuanba checked the information of the Three Evils of the Ping Family. The Three Evils of the Ping Family were three evil people in the middle stage of the Nascent Soul stage in the world of immortal cultivation in the Zhongzhou continent.
The Three Evils of the Ping Clan are triplets who were born with the gift of mind-connection, and they have excellent talent for cultivation. It is unknown which force they have joined, but their combat power is no less than that of an ordinary mid-Nascent Soul cultivator from a super force.
In addition, they usually advance and retreat in groups of three and never separate, so it is extremely difficult to deal with them.
The reason why the three evil men of the Ping clan were targeted by Jianyi Chongxiao Pavilion was that they massacred a village where a mortal family of Jianyi Chongxiao Pavilion's sword cultivators lived, and were listed as those who must be killed by Jianyi Chongxiao Pavilion.
Perhaps only a sword cultivation sect like Jianyi Chongxiao Pavilion would entrust the task of killing the three evil men of the Ping clan to a sword cultivator in the middle stage of the Nascent Soul.
With the addition of Li Yuanba, this mission has an additional sword cultivator in the early Nascent Soul stage.
"Intelligence shows that the three evil men of the Ping clan are staying in Heding Mountain. That is their temporary cave residence recently. Our goal is to kill the three evil men of the Ping clan in Heding Mountain!
The specific action plan will be formulated when we arrive at the scene, but you can't act rashly, all actions need my consent!" Tang Xuening stared at Li Yuanba and asked.
"Uncle Tang, I understand!" Li Yuanba nodded.
"There is land ahead, we need to hide our tracks!" Tang Xue Ning said, pointing ahead.
Before, the two were flying over the ocean, and ahead was the land of Zhongzhou Continent.
Tang Xue Ning's aura was restrained, and the aura of this sword cultivator in the middle stage of the Nascent Soul was suppressed to be extremely obscure. If one didn't pay special attention, it would be easy to ignore her existence.
Li Yuanba blessed himself with a secret method to restrain his breath, which he got from his original body Li Shiming.
The auras of the two Nascent Soul Sword Cultivators were restrained. As long as there was no battle and they were not encountered at close range by other Nascent Soul Cultivators, it would be difficult to detect their strength.
As her aura was restrained, Tang Xue Ning took out a third-grade flying boat, which had a sect mark on it that Li Yuanba could not recognize.
"This is the spoils of war from before. The speed of this third-grade flying boat is quite good. We can use it to speed up our journey!" Tang Xue Ning said as she entered the third-grade flying boat first.
Li Yuanba also followed him into the third-grade flying boat. This third-grade flying boat could be considered the top-level among the three-grade flying boats. It could hide one's identity while ensuring a certain speed.
After restraining their aura, the two sword cultivators would still attract attention if they flew using sword escape.
Li Yuanba was not aware of Tang Xue Ning's action plan, he could only obey Tang Xue Ning's command.
Tang Xue Ning stopped talking. The third-grade flying boat flew automatically while she sat with her eyes closed.
Li Yuanba had no way to communicate, so he had to focus on thinking about the Jian family's sword mark inheritance, which was also what he had been doing in recent times.
Although the inheritance of Jian's sword marks has the help of IBMz15 to organize and analyze, it still needs the sword cultivators who practice the "Sword Intent Soaring to the Sky" to comprehend it.
The Golden Thunder Yuanying of Li Shiming, the original body, has been comprehending the inheritance of the Jian family's sword marks. Li Yuanba has nothing to do at the moment, so he also joins in the comprehension.
The third-grade flying boat was flying quietly in the air. It seemed that some kind of sect mark on the third-grade flying boat took effect, or the third-grade flying boat did not attract the attention of other cultivators, and the third-grade flying boat was not obstructed during its voyage.
Tang Xue Ning had an idea when she chose the third-grade flying boat. The third-grade flying boat was the flying boat used by Jindan cultivators on a daily basis, but Yuanying cultivators rarely would be interested in Jindan cultivators.
Among the cultivators below the Nascent Soul stage, the Golden Core cultivators are the strongest. In addition, the number of Golden Core cultivators is extremely large, so the possibility of being attacked is the lowest.
"He Dingshan is just ahead, we need to sneak closer to check it out!" Although Tang Xue Ning's voice was cold, it was very careful.
After the two men put away the third-grade flying boat, they landed on the ground and headed towards He Ding Mountain.
Heding Mountain is a relatively famous mountain in the surrounding area. It did not originally belong to the Three Evils of the Taira Clan, but was snatched away by the Three Evils of the Taira Clan.
The whereabouts of the Three Evils of the Taira clan were uncertain, so it was rather strange that they settled down in one place.
Tang Xue Ning used a secret method to enhance her eyesight. She lightly swept her eyes with her fingers, and golden light flashed in her eyes.
"There is no fluctuation of the Nascent Soul. The three evil spirits of the Ping clan are not in the cave in He Dingshan!" Tang Xue Ning transmitted a message to Li Yuanba.
She was extremely careful along the way because she didn't want to alarm the three evil men of the Heike clan.
The information about the Three Evils of the Taira clan showed that they had experienced many encirclement and suppression attacks, but they managed to escape calmly every time.
According to Tang Xue Ning's analysis, the three evil men of the Ping clan should have unknown intelligence support in the Central Plains. As long as there is any action against the three evil men of the Ping clan, it will be discovered in advance.
Tang Xue Ning was very sure that this action had not been discovered by the three evil men of the Ping clan, so there were only two possibilities.
One is that the three evil men of the Ping clan left their temporary cave in Heding Mountain for some reason, and they will be back after a while.
Second, the three evil men of the Heike clan abandoned their temporary cave in He Dingshan, in which case their trip would have been in vain.
"I have some knowledge of formations. Why don't you let me break the formation of the cave and go inside to take a look!" Li Yuanba put forward his opinion.
"Li Yuanba, are you sure?" Tang Xue Ning asked with some surprise.
"It shouldn't be a problem!" Although there was some distance between them, Li Yuanba observed through his 'Divine Eyes' and discovered that He Dingshan's formation was actually arranged using a formation plate.
This is not difficult to understand. If the three evil spirits of the Ping clan did not know much about formations, using formation plates to set up the formations would be the best choice.
If this is the long-term cave residence of the three evil spirits of the Ping clan, they would naturally invest a lot of energy and materials and invite a formation master to come and help strengthen the formation of the cave.
However, Heding Mountain is only a temporary cave residence for the three evil spirits of the Ping clan. The three evil spirits of the Ping clan have many enemies, and they cannot stay here for a long time, so they will not invest too much in the cave residence. The formation plate is easy to move and simple to arrange, and it is indeed the first choice.
"Then let's go together and wait for the three evil Ping clan members in the cave!" Tang Xue Ning trusted Li Yuanba's ability very much, but at the same time she was worried about Li Yuanba's safety, so she proposed to go in together.
Li Yuanba didn't care. It was not a problem to bring one person in.
While approaching the cave, he casually unleashed three warning formations, which were also set up by the formation plate.
For the master of formation, the formation arranged on the formation plate is rigid and very easy to break.
Li Yuanba shared the formation knowledge from his original body Li Shiming. Except for the lack of formation starlight overseas, he is definitely the top formation master in the field of formation.
The Starlight Sea of the Formation is the basis for the formation master to quickly analyze the formation. Although Li Yuanba does not have the Starlight Sea of the Formation, he can connect with IBMz15 and use the ability of IBMz15 to replace the Starlight Sea of the Formation.
Tang Xue Ning followed behind Li Yuanba and saw that Li Yuanba easily broke through the three warning formations, which greatly strengthened her confidence in Li Yuanba.
"A fourth-grade high-level formation plate. Do the three evil spirits of the Ping clan think that the higher the quality of the formation plate, the stronger the formation will be?" Li Yuanba came to the temporary cave and couldn't help but complain in his heart while observing the formation of the cave.
A fourth-grade high-level formation plate is definitely of high quality among formation plates, but that is only the quality of the formation materials, not the level of a formation master.
Of course, the formation arranged by the fourth-grade high-level formation plate in front of him has also reached the fourth-grade high-level level, but its effect is not even as good as the fourth-grade primary-level formation arranged with formation flags.
Li Yuanba's spiritual consciousness moved the formation's spiritual power lines from time to time, and he forcibly opened a passage at the entrance of the temporary cave.
He walked into the cave from the entrance like the owner of the cave.
"It seems that the three evil spirits of the Ping clan have not given up this place!" As soon as he entered the hall of the cave, Li Yuanba smiled and sent a message to Tang Xue Ning.
On the table in the hall, there is a set of four-grade tea set. If one abandons this cave, how could one leave this set of four-grade tea set here?
Walking further inside, he found three fourth-grade meridian-locking disks in the training room, all of which contained mid-Nascent Soul stage spiritual veins, which further confirmed his judgment.
"I know why the three evil spirits of the Ping clan want to stay here!" Tang Xue Ning said, pointing to the room next to the training room.
That room is the weapon refining room. There is an underground fire in He Ding Mountain. The original owner of this room was a well-known weapon refining master.
At this time, the underground fire was drawn into the refining room, and it was extremely vigorous. It required special means and a lot of resources to make the underground fire reach this level.
This underground fire is enough to smelt the fourth-grade top-level materials. There are also several storage bags next to it, and some spiritual objects that help combustion are placed outside the storage bags.
The layout of this refining room should be ready for refining equipment, and it is very likely that it is prepared for refining a top-level fourth-grade magical weapon.
Everything can be explained now. The three evil men of the Ping clan forcibly occupied the cave in Heding Mountain in order to refine a top-grade fourth-grade magic weapon.
As for why the three evil Ping clan members are not in the cave, this has to do with the way the three evil Ping clan members act. The three of them, who are in the middle stage of the Nascent Soul, have never been separated.
It seemed that they needed to purchase some spiritual objects. The three evil men of the Ping clan had great confidence in their reputation as well as the fourth-grade upper-level formation plates in their cave, so they thought that leaving the cave for a short period of time was not a big deal.
"Li Yuanba, let's get ready at the entrance of the training room. Once the three evil Ping clan members enter the hall of the cave, we will attack with all our strength!" Tang Xue Ning stated her plan.
Li Yuanba looked at the environment. The entrance to the training room faced the hall. The entrance to the hall was not spacious. After the three evil men of the Ping clan came in, they would definitely let down their guard because they had returned to a safe cave.
The environment at the entrance of the hall is not suitable for Nascent Soul cultivators to perform their duties. The Nascent Soul Dharma Image cannot be activated for sure, and even the use of magic weapons will be affected.
According to the information, the three evil spirits of the Ping clan are among the very few cultivators who use magical bows, and they were the most affected in the cave.
Under this kind of environment, the sword cultivator's flying sword is the most suitable. The three evil spirits of the Ping clan don't even have the space to dodge and can only take the attack of the flying sword.
Of course, these are all idealistic plans, provided that the three evil Ping clan members cannot discover the hidden Tang Xue Ning and Li Yuanba. Otherwise, the two people who are in such a small space as the cave will be surrounded by the three evil Ping clan members and lose the flexible space to dodge.
It was not difficult for Li Yuanba to hide himself. From this cave, it could be seen that the three evil men of the Ping clan lacked knowledge of formations. Li Yuanba used fourth-grade formation flags to set up a hidden formation in the training room.
