Chapter 56 Old Friend



Even though Kong Ju and his men were far away from the center of the war, they could still hear the roar of the battle, resounding in all directions.

The edge of the war zone also became lively after the three giant spirit boats landed.

Led by the disciples from the second echelon of the Cangwu Sect, they engaged in a fierce battle with the disciples of the Blood Robe Alliance who were dispersed to the peripheral areas from the central battle zone.

Although the cultivation level of the monks in this area is relatively low, the level of tragedy is no less than that in the central area.

Every moment, enemies or disciples of the Cangwu School died in this battle.

The strange Taoism of the Blood Robe Alliance is indeed hard to guard against.

Fortunately, after paying the price of many lives, the disciples of Cangwu Sect also figured out the Taoist methods of the Blood Robe Alliance and managed to stabilize the situation. The two sides fought back and forth.

The team led by Jiang Bairen rushed to cover the retreat of the mortals. On the way to the mission site, they also discovered a few scattered disciples of the Blood Robe Alliance who were driven from the center of the battle to the marginal area.

The result is predictable. Dozens of people rushed forward and blasted it into pieces.

It can be considered as a way to vent some of the anger in my heart.

As for encountering disciples of the Cangwu Sect, the two sides just said hello and passed each other.

They were busy rushing to the mission location, so who would still be chatting in this damn place?

We hurried all the way until the sun set.

Huh! Kong Jue, carrying a longbow on his back, hid in the dark shadows of the jungle, moving forward silently like a ghost.

During this process, his eyes were always observing the surroundings, ready to shoot arrows at any time.

Relying on the battle with the scattered disciples of the Blood Robe League just now, Kong Ju deliberately demonstrated his outstanding archery skills and insight, and was highly valued by Jiang Bairen.

Let him take charge of the reconnaissance mission in this temporarily formed team.

Kong Ju happily accepted this.

Because that's exactly what he wanted.

"It's much easier to act alone, whether escaping or chasing." Kong Ju whispered to himself, a triumphant smile on his face.

"Don't be fooled by the fact that this team has a large number of people. Having more people does have its advantages, but it also attracts too much attention."

"If we really encounter a cultivator in the late stage of Yanglun, there is no way to escape his keen insight. At that time, the person in the open will definitely be the first to be attacked."

Kong Ju seemed to be tasked with a more dangerous reconnaissance mission, but he just needed to be cautious and not think about fighting when he found danger, but just run back and report as soon as possible.

After all, he was just responsible for reconnaissance.

Thinking of this, Kong Ju turned his head to glance at the team behind him and vaguely saw figures hundreds of feet away.

Even though they were already moving quietly enough, so many people still made them too conspicuous.

The sun sets in the west.

When the last rays of sunset disappeared over the horizon, the team was almost approaching the area of ​​this cover mission.

Walking in the jungle, Kong Jue felt that the dense vegetation in front of him suddenly decreased in a discontinuity, or even disappeared completely.

During his observation, he also discovered many signs of remaining human activities on the ground.

"We're here!" Seeing this, Kong Ju was certain that they had entered the mission area.

After another cup of tea, a small town called Qingshi Town hidden in the valley appeared in Kong Ju's sight.

Most of the houses in this town are built with rocks, and a road paved with bluestone slabs extends from the mouth of the valley into the town.

Even though it's already midnight.

Looking from the mouth of the valley, Kong Ju could still see a few lights on in the town. The orange light they emitted proved that the residents of the town had not yet evacuated.

Kong Ju looked around and did not enter the town immediately.

Instead, he stood behind a blue stone at the entrance of the town where he was hiding, gently took out his longbow, and an icy arrow slowly condensed at his fingertips.

Until the longbow is fully drawn.

This process only takes a moment.

Swoosh! The icy arrow flew out of his hand, and under the cover of the night, it flew through the air and shot into the crown of a giant tree in the valley on the left side of the edge of the town in front of him.

Puff! Followed by a muffled sound.

Hidden in the treetops, the man in red looked in disbelief at the bloody hole on his chest caused by an arrow. The wound had been frozen by the icy force.

No blood was shed.

He didn't even feel any pain because of the extreme cold.

Until the remaining icy power on the arrow spread out and froze the whole person into an ice sculpture.

Plop! The man, still with a bewildered look on his face, had already fallen from the treetops.

Until his death, he never saw the person who killed him.

Almost at the same time as the man's body fell to the ground, Kong Ju rushed over from the archery position.

Looking at the Blood Robe League disciple who died at the root of the giant tree with a look of bewilderment on his face, Kong Ju reached out expressionlessly and searched the disciple's body.

Only a dozen spirit crystals, some elixirs with a strange smell, and a roulette-shaped magic weapon were found, which was only of low-grade strength.

The elixir was not made in an elixir furnace. When it was put to the nose, it had a foul odor that made Kong Jue feel dizzy.

"Poor bastard!" Kong Ju was somewhat dissatisfied with what he got from the corpse and complained.

But it's no wonder. This disciple of the Blood Robe Alliance has only reached the fourth level of Yanglun Realm. How much money can he have?

Otherwise, he wouldn't have been guarding on the treetops and hesitant to take action. He was probably trying to use the moonlight as a cover to go to the town to slaughter the blood-foods late at night.

Although he cursed, Kong Ju was still very honest and put all the things into the storage bag.

The reason why he was able to discover this disciple was entirely because the bodies of the Blood Robe Alliance were emitting a strange bloody smell.

Kong Ju had seen that kind of aura twice at the Frost Moon Altar and would never forget it.

Therefore, as soon as he entered the town, he noticed the presence of disciples of the Blood Robe Alliance nearby.

After doing all this, a wisp of blood floated out from the body of the dead Blood Robe League disciple and floated into the waist badge of the Cangwu Sect disciple worn on Kong Ju's waist.

During the whole process, Kong Ju did not dodge and his face remained calm.

The blood thread was a record, proving that he had killed the Blood Robe Alliance disciples. After the training was over, all of them would be converted into contribution points.

He learned these after seeing the Cangwu Sect disciples killing the Blood Robe Alliance disciples on the road.

The search is complete.

Jiang Bairen was the first to discover Kong Ju and the corpse of the Blood Robe League disciple. With a full beard on his face, he gave Kong Ju a thumbs up, not hiding his admiration.

A powerful frontier reconnaissance disciple can save the entire team a lot of trouble.

The more powerful Kong Jue was, the more he liked him.

As for the contribution value of the Blood Robe Alliance disciples.

In the face of this task, who has the time to care about these things?

Seeing Jiang Bairen's actions, Kong Ju stood under the tree and smiled slightly as a response.

Then Jiang Bairen was seen leading his team into the town.

At the same time, his angry roar rang out in the town: "Don't fucking sleep, get up and follow us."

For a moment, the originally quiet town was in chaos.

There is no wrong version in the 1619 book forum!

Kong Ju did not enter the town, but looked around, found a place to hide, and hid himself.

A pair of eyes carefully observed the movements around the valley.

After a stick of incense, more than a hundred villagers in the town were driven by Jiang Bairen and other disciples to gather at the entrance of the valley.

All travel light.

Jiang Bairen threw away all his belongings and only took some rations and water.

Some villagers are still unwilling.

Jiang Bairen scolded him harshly: "What do you want to bring? Chickens? Why don't you bring pigs too? I'm saving your lives. Bringing those broken things will only delay our journey."

"You want life or money?"

Jiang Bairen's curses were so loud that they could be heard throughout the entire valley, causing Kong Ju, who was hiding nearby, to look worried and he really wanted to shoot him with an arrow.

He was afraid that others wouldn't hear him or something.

But then he thought again, it would be impossible for so many people to evacuate silently, so Kong Ju let him go.

Suddenly, Kong Ju, who was concentrating on looking around, saw a familiar dark figure as his quickly moving eyes passed through the group of villagers.

He looked to be around fifty or sixty years old, with a sturdy build and dark marks on his skin from being exposed to the sun. He had a pipe in his mouth and was looking at the team gathered at the village entrance with a worried look on his face.

"Senior Brother Mutian!" Kong Ju was surprised. After he returned from Frost Moon Altar, he heard from other spiritual farmers that Mutian had returned home.

Before leaving, he came to see me and wanted to say goodbye in person.

It's just that Kong Ju was trapped in the Frost Moon Altar at that time, so the two missed each other.

I thought I would never have the chance to meet again, but now we meet again in this environment.

"Village Chief, do you really want to throw them all away?"

"Village head, you and those immortal masters of Cangwu Sect are from the same sect. Can you please ask for a favor?"

"Yes, village chief, please help me to speak for them."

Several villagers surrounded Makita, making their final struggle.

Some people have never left Belling County in their entire lives, and their family savings are the fruits of their life's work. It is really hard to bear to just throw them away like that.

"Listen to your fellow brothers. This is for everyone's own good. Material possessions will greatly affect your future plans." Makita explained patiently.

"Set off!"

Regardless of whether the villagers were willing or not, in the end everyone submitted to Jiang Bairen's tyranny and walked out of the valley in a mighty procession.

The twelve disciples were divided into four groups, guarding the left, right, front and back respectively.

Only Kong Ju nimbly climbed up the high mountains on both sides, occupied a high position, and was on guard against emergencies.

After all, we are just mortals. Even if we walk lightly, the speed is still worrying.

Jiang Bairen tried to urge him at first, but in the end he just frowned and kept silent. Looking at his expression, his hair seemed to be standing on end with anxiety.

Kong Ju, who was standing on the cliff and looking down, sighed when he saw this scene.

"What should I do? There is no other way. Can I just kill them all?"

After saying this, he calmed his mind and continued to be alert to his surroundings.

The night journey was quite smooth and there were no unexpected situations.

However, the walking strength of these mortals is really worrying. After one night, they have only walked thirty or forty miles.

If we want to reach the nearest safe area, it will take at least five or six days at this speed.

At dawn, almost no one could walk. No matter how Jiang Bairen shouted and cursed, it was of no use. They all lay on the ground like dead dogs.

Jiang Bairen's face turned red and then white, and then white and then red again, and he finally uttered a few words: "If you want to rest, change a place, not here!"

These were all anticipated, which is why no one is willing to take on this task.

The morning sun shines along the skyline onto the top of the mountain.

Kong Ju sat on the edge of the cliff, basking in the morning sun. His eyes followed the light, trying his best to look towards the center of the battle.

Unfortunately, the distance was too far and the view was completely blocked by the mountain mist.

"At this distance, there shouldn't be any powerful enemies." Thinking of this, Kong Ju simply stopped looking over there and looked down the mountain.

There is a huge depression below the peak. The mountain is bent like a long bow, revealing the center of the peak, a ravine sunken into the mountain that can shelter people from wind and rain. It has a certain degree of concealment.

It was Kong Ju who found this place and asked Jiang Bairen to bring those hundreds of people here.

Kong Ju's eyes swept over the villagers one by one, and finally stopped on a burly middle-aged man.

The dark marks on his face from years of sun exposure could not be washed away.

"I heard that Senior Brother Mutian resigned from his position as a spiritual farmer in the Cangwu Sect and returned to the mortal world to enjoy life. I didn't expect that he was actually from Beiling County."

It has been half a year since Makita came back, but he had not been able to enjoy his peaceful life for a few days before he encountered the Blood-Cloth Alliance Rebellion. How unlucky he was.

There was a little girl following Makita, about four or five years old, with two pigtails, a dirty face but bright eyes.

Kong Ju had originally wanted to go and say hello, but he was in charge of security and couldn't leave, so he was delayed.
