Chapter 354 That scene must be thrilling!
In the eternal and dense black fog, a flash of red light suddenly flashed. It had strong penetrating power and could be seen from far away.
When I got closer, I could see clearly that it was a man in a long robe with a black mask on his face. In his hand, he held a shiny crystal stone that looked like a pebble.
"Have you found the little Taoist priest?" the man in the robe said to the crystal in a hoarse voice.
A hissing sound came from the crystal, followed by one echo after another.
“Hiss… No…”
“Hiss… This second secret realm is so vast, and with this black fog restricting my spiritual sense, it’s quite difficult to find.”
"Hiss... Anyway, if anyone finds the little Taoist priest, remember to notify everyone to kill him together."
"Hiss... Black Wolf, you're dreaming. Didn't the young master of the Yan family say that whoever kills the little Taoist priest will get 20 more golden pills? How could anyone possibly communicate with you to share the money? Haha."
“…”
It was a small piece of crystal, but it seemed as if there were many people talking inside it.
The robed man listened for a while and then spoke again: "We still have to communicate. We have already received 30 golden pills each, which is not a low amount. If we continue to covet those small profits and end up losing our lives, it would be too stupid."
"Hiss...Haha! We are all top figures in the Tiannan underworld. It would be embarrassing if we couldn't handle a little Taoist priest!"
"Hiss... Don't be careless. Didn't you see him coming in? That little Taoist priest is still a bit mysterious."
"Hiss...you mean the art of transformation? It's quite magical, but what's its use?"
"Hiss... after all, it's a magic trick..."
“…”
The robed man stopped listening to their conversation and withdrew his true energy. The crystal stopped flashing and became quiet. He put the crystal back into his sleeve and snorted softly, "What a bunch of idiots."
The man in the long robe is called Zhang San.
The growth paths of these underworld cultivators are very different from those of the orthodox immortal sect cultivators. They often have no legitimate inheritance, no senior teachers to show off, and no famous names. They have been struggling in the shadows all their lives, doing business that is risky.
Many people also call them "underground practitioners".
Compared with the righteous cultivators, they are more unscrupulous. Compared with the demonic cultivators, they are more profit-seeking. In this precarious environment, those who can survive for a long time are all lawless lunatics who are insidious and cunning.
In their eyes, those cultivators of orthodox origin are as pure as a blank sheet of paper.
Even if someone's cultivation level is two or three realms higher, they still dare to try to kill him.
What's more, in this Huaxu Secret Realm, it is impossible for someone who is one level higher than them to appear.
So when the Yan family came to them and asked them to sell it for thirty golden elixirs, no one refused.
In their view, this is simply a free gift.
Practitioners who have reached this level are unlikely to be tempted by gold and silver, but the golden elixir is still very tempting.
Ten Qi Condensation Pills can be exchanged for one Small Huan Dan, ten Small Huan Dan can be exchanged for one Large Huan Dan, and ten Large Huan Dan can be exchanged for one Golden Dan. Among the elixirs that can serve as equivalents on the market, the Golden Dan refined by Dan Ding Pavilion is the highest level. And because its production is limited, if you really want to get it, the exchange price is several percent higher than the above.
If dozens of golden pills were prepared for consumption, it would mean that as long as these peak cultivators reached a sufficient level, they no longer needed to accumulate practice and could directly reach the level of slashing decline! This could save several or even more than ten years of practice time.
Its preciousness is self-evident.
Even for the Tiannan Seven Families with such a profound background, taking out hundreds of golden elixirs at a time is still a huge investment.
This is also the power of the aristocratic family. Although Yan Ren's cultivation is average, he can use his status and position to use the power of the family to easily drive these masters to eliminate the thorn in his eyes.
And no matter how much a master like Zhang San looks down on Yan Ren, he can only be deployed by him.
Out of concern that these underworld masters would not work hard after receiving the payment, Yan Ren also added a clause that whoever killed the little Taoist priest would receive an extra reward, thus prompting these ferocious outlaws to search for Li Chu.
This is indeed necessary, because these underworld masters are different from demon cultivators. They are not born bloodthirsty. If there is enough profit, they can even kill their own father. If there is no profit drive, they would rather live forever and will not take any risks.
but.
Such rules raise another problem.
That is, this group of underworld masters have their own ulterior motives and want to take the extra bounty for themselves.
Although Zhang San said that everyone must inform each other after finding the little Taoist priest, he only said that to that group of people and he himself did not intend to do so.
In fact, he did not reveal that he had a secret plan.
He has a unique tracking method called "Soul-Chasing Seal". As long as he puts an invisible mark on a person, he will not be able to get rid of it within twelve hours, even if he goes to the ends of the earth.
The young Taoist priest was obviously very inexperienced in the martial arts world. Zhang San just bumped into him as he passed by and easily planted the magic seal on him.
Even the little Taoist priest said "sorry" to him.
hehe.
Even now when he thinks of that sorry, Zhang San wants to laugh coldly. A cultivator like this who is polite will not survive more than three days in their underground.
Just like a little lamb.
Still a very valuable little sheep.
"Huh?"
Zhang San's mask suddenly lifted up.
He placed his left thumb on his middle finger and gently moved it. His eyes sparkled as he murmured, "Very quickly."
He clearly sensed that the seal was not far ahead, and was heading towards him!
Zhang San waved his hands repeatedly, and twelve small black flags flew out from his sleeves, inserted into the ground in all directions, and disappeared into the darkness.
Then, his body floated again and he retreated into the darkness.
Before this attack, the Yan family had made perfect preparations for them, including a mask that could block all prying eyes. They also took a pill that could change their aura, making their aura become the same as that of an evil spirit.
In this case, even if this young Taoist priest had a master with great cultivation and the ability to see the current scene with his third eye, he would not be able to catch any clues and would only think that he was killed by evil spirits.
Now, he only needs to hide in the dark, wait for the little Taoist priest to step into the formation, kill him with a fierce attack, and then escape.
hehe.
Zhang San smiled again.
It's been a long time since I received such a simple task.
While waiting for the target to arrive, he was somewhat absent-minded. Thinking of the enlightenment he had suddenly realized a few days ago, he had already touched the threshold of the stage of beheading. The fifty golden pills he got this time were enough to support him to break through the stage of beheading. By then, he could completely change his identity and clean up his mess, establish a sect in the martial arts world, and bid farewell to the life of an outlaw.
That is to say.
After completing this order, he can stop.
…
Li Chu took a step forward and suddenly realized something was wrong.
The ground beneath my feet suddenly turned into a swamp.
Is there a trap? This thought flashed through my mind.
Then I felt an extremely powerful aura suddenly burst out from the side, and a ball of black light filled with murderous energy appeared out of nowhere, like some powerful magic weapon.
Li Chu did not rush to break free, but let go of the Chunyang Sword that he had been holding upside down in his palm and pushed it gently.
boom--
The best defense is offense.
The Chunyang Sword turned into a flying meteor, instantly breaking through the ball of black light, and at the same time flew out to destroy the operator behind the black light.
The noise lasted only a moment, then fell silent again.
After placing the koi back to a safe place, Li Chu's actions went much more smoothly. He encountered many evil spirits along the way and saved up a lot of blood demon crystals.
There were also some ambushes like this that suddenly appeared nearby, so he was quite alert.
only……
After a slightly stronger experience value entered his body, Li Chu was a little puzzled: "Can evil spirits use magic weapons now? And... why didn't it explode the blood magic crystal?"
After a careful search, there was indeed nothing on the ground.
He could only shake his head and said, "It's a bit unlucky."
…
"Hiss... Zhang San seems to have not spoken for a long time."
"Hiss... He doesn't talk much."
"Hiss... Could it be that he met a little Taoist priest and went to eat alone?"
"Hiss... maybe not."
"Hiss... No, I can't waste time with you. I have to work hard to search and I won't let you get ahead of me."
“…”
Reverend Black Wolf listened to the voice coming from the crystal and smiled coldly.
His figure was moving forward rapidly, the sound of whistling wind kept passing by his ears, and the crystal was held in his right hand and passed to his shoulder.
On his shoulder, there was a huge wolf head!
The wolf's eyes moved, very vividly, clearly a living wolf! At this moment, the wolf's mouth was constantly uttering a nagging voice: "Don't leave... Let's chat for a while... This thing depends on luck, whoever encounters it will own it, why bother looking for it, we are all in the underworld, why bother with involution..."
As for Lord Black Wolf, his own head was wide open with eyes and nostrils flared, not letting go of even the slightest suspicious smell as he moved forward at a rapid pace.
That's right.
Summoning the wolf head to chat non-stop in the crystal was one of the strategies of Lord Black Wolf. The purpose was to waste as much time as possible and prevent them from looking for the little Taoist priest.
And Lord Black Wolf himself is similar to the killer Long Gang in the north. He has also practiced the nasal magic Chonglongyu and has a strong ability to search for smells.
Before entering the secret realm, he had gone to the little Taoist priest's side, took a deep breath, and memorized the little Taoist priest's smell firmly in his mind.
The young Taoist priest was obviously very inexperienced in the martial world and did not notice anything wrong. He just looked at him as if he was a pervert.
hehe.
Thinking of that look, Lord Black Wolf sneered to himself twice.
Is there any pervert in the world as handsome and dashing as me?
I'm here to kill you!
Without fading his smile, Lord Black Wolf's eyes suddenly lit up, and his nose finally caught a faint scent.
In this black fog, his nasal ability was also greatly affected, far less powerful than outside. At this moment, he suddenly felt a hint of smell, as if some power temporarily dispelled the black fog, and then penetrated it.
No matter what the reason is, this smell belongs to that little Taoist priest, there is no doubt about it!
The Black Wolf Venerable took out his mask and put it on, covering his cold face. He also withdrew his magical power and put away the wolf head on his shoulder.
The wolf's head retracted, and his eyes suddenly turned green, like a pair of wolf's eyes.
And it's a wolf that's about to hunt.
"The prey...appeared..."
Whoosh——
The next second, his figure rushed towards the direction of the little Taoist priest like an arrow.
After reaching a certain distance, he stopped moving again, half-crouched on the ground, restrained his breath to the minimum, and stared coldly ahead.
The faint green pupil light was so bright even in the black fog, which made people's hearts flutter.
As an experienced hunter, he knew that the closer he was to the prey, the calmer he had to be.
It's the patient wolf that gets the meat.
Unlike Zhang San, although the Black Wolf Venerable had also reached the peak of the Myriad Realms, he showed no signs of any breakthrough. It seemed that he would not have a chance to break through to the level of Zhan Sui in this lifetime.
He took these dozens of golden elixirs for love.
Previously, he was no different from other underworld practitioners. He focused on enjoying life while he could, and lived a muddle-headed life from day to day.
Until a few days ago, he met a woman who made his heart beat faster.
He fell madly in love with that woman, and that woman fell madly in love with him.
The only obstacle is... her family doesn't agree.
Especially her husband.
Moreover, the woman's husband is not an ordinary person. He is the patriarch of the Moyun Cave, one of the most powerful tribes among the 72 caves! A powerful underworld master like Heilang would be respected as a venerable by the underground cultivators. In front of the master of a cave, he is just a little wolf.
Without power, there is no need to be afraid of it.
Fortunately, the chief of the Moyun clan was a good person to talk to. He had more than ninety wives and concubines in his family, which would soon exceed three digits, so he didn't care about this one. If not, the woman and the Black Wolf Venerable might not have been so angry.
Chief Moyun announced that as long as Venerable Black Wolf paid two hundred thousand taels of silver, he could take his wife away.
This was not a huge amount of money for a master at the peak of the Myriad Realms. But the problem was that the Black Wolf Venerable had never had any savings.
As a cultivator of a high level, he never thought that one day he would worry about money.
The Yan family happened to find him at this time, and gave him thirty golden elixirs, asking him to enter the Huaxu Secret Realm to kill people.
This is really a timely help.
Thirty golden pills, if sold at the normal market price, might still be a little short, but if I could get the extra twenty golden pills, it would definitely be enough.
Therefore, Lord Black Wolf is determined to obtain this.
Even resorting to some tricks.
But it was all worth it, because he was the first one to discover the little Taoist priest's trail.
He waited patiently, waiting for the young Taoist priest to pass by so that he could use his strongest magical power to kill him with one blow, and then he could fulfill his promise.
That’s right, he had already made a promise to that woman before entering the Huaxu Secret Realm.
After I finish this order, I will come back to marry you.
…
Li Chu slowed down his pace.
From the beginning, he had a feeling that something was staring at him. But... the black fog was too thick, and even if it tried to restrain its aura, it would not be noticed.
At this moment, a deafening wolf howl came from behind!
“Ah——”
A huge wolf head the size of a city gate tower suddenly descended! Its huge mouth seemed to want to swallow up the whole world in one gulp! There was no escape! But Li Chu had no intention of escaping.
He swung the sword casually.
"roar--"
An equally powerful dragon roar was heard, and the sturdy red dragon fiercely poured into the wolf's mouth!
Boom! That fierce wolf with flashing eyes...
With a loud bang, it disappeared in an instant.
"No blood demon crystals again?" Li Chu frowned, then said helplessly, "What bad luck."
Then, not wanting to take another look, he walked forward.
…
Outside the Huaxu Secret Realm.
Yan Ren rubbed his hands nervously, "Calculating the time, it has been quite a while in the second level of the secret realm. I wonder if they succeeded."
"Master, don't be nervous. How can the ten most powerful masters of the universe fail when they are hunting one person?" said the retainer at the side flatteringly.
"Yes, ten Wanxiang Peaks. I paid a huge price, there is no way I can fail!" Yan Ren also gritted his teeth.
"Haha, even if that little Taoist priest is dead, he should thank the young master." The family general said excitedly: "How many people in the world can be hunted by the top ten masters? I think the scene must be thrilling!"
