Li Zhiming adjusted his breathing and gathered the six corpses together.

"We are all from the same school, so there is no need to say more words of thanks. I think if I were the one who was ambushed today, Senior Sister would definitely help me."

Li Zhiming replied, squatting down and began to examine the bodies of the six people.

[Corpse collection failed. The person killed by the host cannot trigger the corpse collection system. Please try again.]

Li Zhiming gathered the bodies of the five disciples from the Punishment Hall together and wrapped each of them with a straw mat.

[A warrior of the seventh rank of corpse collector at the early stage, with Qi and blood +20, true Qi +30, lifespan +1, and reinforcement point +1. ]

[A mid-level seventh-grade corpse collector, Qi and blood +50, true Qi +40, lifespan +5, reinforcement points +2]

[Collecting corpses…]

These five people are all direct disciples of the three commanders of the Punishment Hall, and all of them are seventh-rank warriors.

Although the bonus attributes were minimal, he still collected eight enhancement points, which was crucial.

Including what he gained during the journey, he collected a total of 20 enhancement points after entering the Trial Road.

[Strength Points: 55]

Li Zhiming took a look at his savings, a total of fifty-five strengthening points, which was too few.

It takes four hundred reinforcement points to upgrade the Taiqing Heart Method to mastery. If you want to upgrade the Taichu Heart Sutra to perfection, the required reinforcement points may exceed one thousand!

These two methods of cultivation are simply a bottomless pit.

My current savings are far from enough, and I still have a long way to go!

Liang Meng saw Li Zhiming collecting the body of his junior brother, and thanked him softly, "Thank you for your trouble, Junior Brother Li."

"It's not a big deal. It's just something that comes handy. I did this when I was in Xuyuan Prison."

Li Zhiming stood up and clapped his hands, then turned to look at the other five corpses, and his holographic eye opened at the same time.

【Tianchen】

【male】

【Five-level perfection】

【Disciple of Zhenyuan Sect】

Li Zhiming looked at the information appearing in front of him and felt confused.

This person is actually a disciple of Zhenyuan Sect. Then why would they attack their fellow disciples? What are their motives and who is the mastermind behind the scenes?

Li Zhiming thought about it over and over again but still couldn't understand the reason.

"Perhaps these people were originally disciples of Zhenyuan Sect, but were instigated to rebel?"

Li Zhiming guessed in his heart that this was roughly the situation.

The information that the holographic eye can detect is limited, and is limited to some basic information such as one's own strength and realm.

"Junior Brother Li, can you see anything?"

Liang Meng came to Li Zhiming and looked down at the six bodies lying on the ground. She clenched her fists, wishing she could tear them into pieces!

But reason suppressed the impulse, and Liang Meng did not do so.

These corpses are of considerable value. Although they cannot see anything, the elders and senior leaders of the sect can find key information through the corpses.

"I can't tell anything, but this group of people are most likely disciples of Zhenyuan Sect. They just kept their strength hidden until the trial road to show it."

Li Zhiming shook his head, indicating that he didn't know who was behind these people.

"Move the bodies out as soon as possible and inform the sect's top leaders of what happened on the trial road. Let the elders make the decision." Liang Meng replied.

"Okay, then let's follow what Senior Sister Liang Meng said."

After Li Zhiming finished speaking, he waved his hand, and all the storage magic weapons on the five people went into his waist pocket.

The first thing Li Zhiming opened was Tianchen’s storage magic device and took out the red long sword.

The Tang sword style is simple and exquisite, extremely sharp, and has a certain amplifying effect on the flame true qi.

Li Zhiming's Green Bone Blade should have been retired long ago, so let this red long sword replace it.

[Name: Long Sword Red Flame]

[Rank: Top-grade spiritual weapon]

The holographic eye opened, and the specific information of the long sword appeared in front of Li Zhiming.

"Top-grade spiritual weapon, very good!"

After Tianchen's death, this top-grade spiritual weapon became ownerless.

Li Zhiming sacrificed a drop of blood and imprinted his spiritual mark on the Red Flame Sword.

From today on, this top-grade spiritual weapon will be his weapon.

After playing with the Red Flame Knife for a while, Li Zhiming took out the Lihuo Bottle.

This bottle is an artifact from ancient times that can store various types of fire energy.

Now, the flame energy in this bottle is extremely strong. If it explodes, even a fourth-grade warrior will be in trouble.

This is also the reason why Li Zhiming wanted to kill this person first.

Tianchen must be killed before he detonates the Lihuo Bottle, otherwise the consequences will be disastrous.

Fortunately, Tianchen was too arrogant, and coupled with his own spiritual master's concealed attack method, Tianchen had no time to react and died under his own spiritual blade.

When the two disciples who escaped death from the Punishment Hall saw Li Zhiming's actions, a hint of envy flashed in their eyes.

It’s a pity that they can hardly protect themselves, let alone contribute, so how can they be qualified to collect the spoils?

The spoils on these five people naturally belonged to Li Zhiming.

They only have envy and no other thoughts.

"Are you ready?" Liang Meng asked.

"Okay, Senior Sister, I'll trouble you to take the bodies of these six people to the base."

"Don't worry, I will bring the bodies to the stronghold. Once we get there, I will let the two seriously injured brothers give up the trial journey, teleport out with the six bodies, and report the matter to the sect's top leaders." Liang Meng replied.

"Well, let's fix it now."

Li Zhiming replied, found a pile of rubble and landed on a bluestone. He made a fire, then sat cross-legged and began to adjust his breathing.

Liang Meng and two other disciples also sat down around the fire and began to heal their wounds.

After an unknown amount of time, Li Zhiming opened his eyes.

At this time, the moon was high in the sky, and the silvery moonlight poured down, illuminating the valley.

Li Zhiming's mental and physical condition have recovered to their peak.

He looked at Liang Meng who was facing him.

It was a beautiful oval face, gentle and intellectual, not inferior to Li Qingyue.

Although the beauty is beautiful, he just admires her.

Li Zhiming is no longer the same person as before. There is no love in his heart, only the desire to become stronger!

At this time, Liang Meng's breathing had stabilized. Although his injuries had not healed, they had almost recovered, probably about 90%.

Li Zhiming stood up and checked the jade slip for transmitting sound.

Peng Li obeyed his orders and stayed at the agreed location without moving.

The matter here has been resolved. The escaped Tiankui has burned too much essence and blood, and his realm must have dropped drastically. He also lost an arm and is no longer a threat to himself.

However, Li Zhiming will not let this guy escape. He will find a way to catch him.

Liang Meng's ears moved slightly, and she opened her eyes after hearing the subtle sound. Her dark pupils flashed slightly, and her energy and spirit were almost restored.

"Junior Brother Li, are you leaving?" Liang Meng came to Li Zhiming and asked softly.

"Senior Sister Liang has almost recovered. The man who escaped burned his blood and essence, and lost one arm. His cultivation was severely damaged. If we meet again, Senior Sister Liang will be able to easily take him down."

"I still have to continue on the road of trials, and practicing here will get twice the result with half the effort. Time is limited and cannot be wasted. As for passing on the message, I'll trouble Senior Sister Liang. I'll take my leave now."

"Okay, Junior Brother Li, take care."

Liang Meng bowed.

Li Zhiming acted decisively. As soon as he finished speaking, he jumped up and disappeared into the night.

Liang Meng looked at the direction where Li Zhiming disappeared and stood quietly for a long time, not knowing what he was thinking.

Peng Li hid under a tree, sat cross-legged, and closed his eyes to rest.

He suddenly opened his eyes and looked up, where a familiar figure was standing on the tree trunk.

"I'm leaving."

Li Zhiming shouted.

Peng stood up, jumped up, and landed next to Li Zhiming.

"I wonder what happened in that valley?"

"Among the disciples who entered the Trial Road, there is a small group of powerful people with mysterious identities who are planning to hunt down the elite disciples of each lineage."

"Who is so bold?"

"I'm not sure, but the few people I killed should be disciples of Zhenyuan Sect. I just don't know who gave them the instructions. They were probably instigated by other hostile forces to rebel."

"With such a force hiding in the dark, the danger level of the entire trial road has increased exponentially."

"What should we do now?"

"Should we continue on the road of trial, or go out first?" Peng Li asked.

"Don't forget that the Trial Road has many restrictions. Warriors above the third rank cannot enter. No matter how strong those mice in hiding are, they can't be above the third rank."

"The Trial Road only opens once every ten years, and only lasts for one month. This one month is equivalent to several years of training outside. Do you want to give up?"

"No...I don't want to."

"Then follow me first. What are you afraid of with me here?"

Li Zhiming replied, his tone sounding very relaxed.

Peng Li was shocked when he heard this.

Li Zhiming is so confident, could it be that he has a way to deal with a third-rank strongman?

Peng Li couldn't help but take a breath.

He just treats what others say as bullshit.

But Li Zhiming brought him so many shocks along the way that he became a little numb.

For some reason, he was willing to believe that Li Zhiming had a way to deal with a third-grade strongman.

"Hey... I'm not strong enough, please take care of me, brother."

"Stop talking nonsense and follow me to collect the Sky Spirit Crystals and Cloud Horn Stones."

Li Zhiming jumped down and, following the instructions of the holographic eye, began to look around for the two key materials to complete the trial.

Three days later, Li Zhiming returned to the base in the first area.

At this time, a large number of disciples gathered in the stronghold.

The reason for this situation is that there was a problem with the base's teleportation array and it is temporarily unavailable.

But people don't know what the specific problem is.
