After the two of them had discussed it, they decided not to waste any more time and headed towards the gathering point mentioned by "Liao Jinming".
On the way, Xu Tianming thought of something and asked, "By the way, Junior Brother Liao, how did you know about my Myriad Veins Sword Sect's distress mark?"
Liao Jinming looked natural and explained with a smile, "This incident was actually accidental. I rescued a core disciple of your sect on the road two days ago, his name was Lu Dong.
Before we parted, I gave him the Wuji Xianzong's seal of help, and he gave me the Sword Sect's seal in exchange."
At this point, "Liao Jinming" glanced at "Zhuang Chen" and said, "I had no intention of using it. I didn't expect Junior Brother Zhuang to secretly memorize it and use it recklessly, thus disturbing Senior Brother."
Xu Tianming suddenly realized, "So that's how it is."
This explanation was reasonable and he didn't think there was anything wrong with it.
Moreover, at this time, the spies of the Pantheon must have entered the secret realm. Sooner or later, the three sects' distress signals would be leaked. As long as we take more precautions, it would not be a big deal.
He was still a little curious.
"Zhuang Chen" said at the time that for safety reasons, he sent out the distress signals from the three major groups at once.
He already knew the origin of the Sword Sect's distress mark.
How did they obtain the distress mark of Piaoxue Palace?
Could it be that Wangxian Peak and Piaoxue Palace had exchanged seals long ago?
Xu Tianming had some guesses in his mind, but these were two private matters after all, so he naturally couldn't ask openly.
There was no conversation along the way.
Two hours later, the three of them arrived at a swamp in the forest.
Through the thin miasma, Xu Tianming saw from afar that there were many spirits wandering in the swamp, some of which had a deep aura, not inferior to the out-of-body stage.
His eyes suddenly lit up.
What Liao Jinming said was true. There were indeed some spirits in the out-of-body stage here, and there were not many people around.
No, there is one person.
His gaze suddenly focused on a slender figure ten feet away.
She is a female cultivator, and judging from her attire, she is also a casual cultivator?
Considering that he was also wearing the ordinary clothes of a casual cultivator, Xu Tianming had doubts about his identity as a casual cultivator, and turned around to give "Liao Jinming" an inquiring look.
The moment "Liao Jinming" saw that figure's back, his expression changed slightly, then returned to normal in an instant.
Although he has gained Xu Tianming's trust, the next plan is likely to succeed.
But it is never a pleasant thing when a variable appears out of nowhere.
But he still had to maintain his identity as a decent disciple of "Liao Jinming", so it was not easy for him to propose killing to silence the witness.
After thinking for a while, he transmitted his voice: "Brother Xu, there are a lot of spirit essences here, enough for the two of us to practice for a long time.
Moreover, I think that person's cultivation is at most at the Nascent Soul stage, and he can't absorb much True Essence and Vital Energy."
The implication of this statement is peaceful coexistence and non-interference in each other's affairs.
Xu Tianming understood this meaning and smiled, saying, "Although Junior Brother has good intentions, it depends on whether the female cultivator dares to stay."
Liao Jinming let out a hint of apology when he heard this: "Junior brother, I was inconsiderate."
Xu Tianming shook his head: "It's a small matter, just go and get in touch with one or two first."
After saying this, he floated down from mid-air and landed not far behind the female cultivator.
As if she heard some movement behind her, the female cultivator turned around, revealing a bright and youthful face.
When Xu Tianming saw this face, he was stunned. He felt as if he had seen the woman in front of him somewhere, and he couldn't help but look at her a little more carefully.
It was these two points of observation that allowed him to quickly see the dark jade token hanging around the woman's waist.
Why does this token look so familiar? Like their Sword Sect...
When he thought of this, his mind suddenly buzzed and his eyes suddenly widened.
He remembered!
In those days, he had the honor to meet Uncle Feng up close. The token hanging on Uncle Feng's waist at that time was exactly the same as the one this woman was wearing on her waist now!
This item belongs to the Sword Master. How could it be in the Hunyuan Secret Realm?
Is he hallucinating?
Or is it that this female cultivator in front of him is so bold that she forged a black jade token?
He stared blankly at the woman in front of him, his mind in a mess.
Liao Jinming naturally noticed this unusual situation, but before he could change his mind, he heard the female cultivator ask in surprise, "Senior Brother Xu?!"
Xiang Sheng walked briskly to Xu Tianming, his eyes filled with joy and anxiety: "I am Shen Li, Senior Brother Xu, don't you remember me?"
"Deal with it well and don't reveal any flaws."
The question and the voice transmission sounded in my ears at the same time.
When Xu Tianming heard the word "Li" and the voice transmission, he immediately understood the other party's identity and his body trembled slightly.
It's not an illusion, nor is it audacious.
The woman in front of him was actually the mysterious Sword Master of Lidian.
It turns out that Uncle Li's real name is Shen Li...
His mind raced, but on the surface he revealed a bit of disbelief and excitement: "Is it really you?! Junior Sister Shen, I thought you..."
Xiang Sheng seemed to be reminded of his memories by his words, and sighed softly, "It's hard to explain what happened back then. After I escaped death, I lost track of you, Senior Brother, and I thought we would never see each other again in this life."
Xu Tianming's eyes were red: "Junior sister..."
"Let's not talk about what happened in the past. Am I not fine now?"
Xiang Sheng changed the subject without leaving a trace, and turned his gaze to "Liao Jinming" on the side, "This is..."
"See, I was so excited that I forgot!"
Xu Tianming slapped his head, turned around and smiled at "Liao Jinming" with his white teeth showing: "Junior Brother Liao, I haven't introduced her yet. Her name is Shen Li. She is someone I met during my early years of training..."
Xu Tianming paused for a long moment before finally saying, "A close friend."
"I see."
Liao Jinming's face suddenly showed enlightenment, and the wariness in his eyes immediately faded away. He smiled meaningfully and said, "I didn't expect that Senior Brother Xu is such a blessed person."
Xu Tianming cooperated with a slightly red face, but his back was soaked with sweat from the shock of these words.
What a sin!
Uncle Li, please forgive me!
He had no wish to make such a random story in front of his uncle. His emotions were clearly on display, and if he had simply said "friend," it wouldn't have been strong enough and would have aroused Liao Jinming's suspicion.
As a true disciple of the Sword Sect, he is naturally not stupid, but very smart.
It is impossible for a person like Uncle Ruli to suddenly show up, condescend to perform in person, just for fun. Something must have gone wrong.
There aren't many people here, so it's clear at a glance who the incident is targeting.
Liao Jinming!
I have fallen into his trap.
Thinking of this, Xu Tianming coughed lightly and said, "Junior Brother Liao, let's talk business.
Let’s stick to what we agreed on before. We’ll destroy the spirit first, and then split it 50-50. Junior Sister Shen’s share will also be counted towards my 50%.
Liao Jinming naturally had no objection and nodded, saying, "Then I'll go and attract a group of spirits and restrain them. I'll leave the task of destroying the spirits to you, Senior Brother."
Xu Tianming smiled slightly: "Don't worry, Junior Brother, sword cultivation methods are the best at restraining spirit essences. I guarantee that I will deal with you before your true essence is exhausted!"
