Chapter 144 Ambush
As the team moved forward for a few kilometers, the miasma around them became increasingly dense.
Visibility and perception range are also further compressed.
As the leader of the current team, Jiang Mushen said solemnly: "This place has formed a natural miasma due to the accumulation of water vapor condensation over the years, which makes it very popular with poisonous insects and poisonous plants. Some powerful beasts even occupy the land and use the geography to repel the enemy. Even some cultivators in the God Transformation Realm will die if they are not careful."
Jiang Mushen's words made everyone's faces tense, and some even muttered, "Since it's a meeting, why do we have to arrange it in such a dangerous place? Isn't this asking for trouble?"
This person's words resonated with many people, but after all, it was an order from above, and no one dared to disobey.
Similarly, this question was also in Xiao Jingsheng's mind.
But he was very calm and didn't say a word, just listening quietly to the conversation between the few people.
Jiang Mushen seemed to know something about the inside story, and he said, "This meeting is to decide on the candidate for the leader of the Dao League and to show the strength of each sect. If they fight hand-to-hand, it will hurt the harmony and increase the rift between the sects. Hunting the poisonous insects and beasts on the island can avoid fighting. It all depends on your ability."
"Candidates for the leader? Oh, do the people from the ten sects of Xuanmen have the qualifications?"
When everyone heard this, someone immediately sneered.
With the presence of land immortals in charge, the Yuxiao Holy Palace can easily defeat the ten major sects on its own.
Anyone with a discerning eye knew that the candidate for the alliance leader had already been chosen by his Yuxiao Holy Palace, and the so-called candidate was just a formality.
For this reason, many disciples felt that this test of their background was inevitably unnecessary.
Jiang Mushen, however, showed the bearing of the First Saint Palace, and said from a moral high ground: "My Yuxiao Saint Palace has always taken the continuation of the Xuanmen Daoist tradition as its own responsibility, and convinced people with reason. Now that the great catastrophe is approaching, how can we be bound by one sect and one school, and be complacent? Junior brother, please be careful with your words."
"What the Holy Son has taught is correct." The person who had just raised the objection immediately made a face that showed he was learning.
The rest of the junior fellow students all showed their admiration.
Jiang Mushen looked around at everyone, his chest slightly puffed out, his handsome eyebrows hanging in his golden eyes that were like the bright sun, full of intimidation, with the bearing of the number one in Yuxiao Holy Palace.
But soon his chest quickly shrank.
"Brother Xiao, this is the Xuanyin Shield Armor. When you are attacked, it will automatically form a spiritual barrier around you. As long as it is not attacked by a Dharma Realm master, it can block an attack for you every hundred breaths."
At the end of the team, Ye Qingtan's eyes were always on the other party, Xiao Jingsheng. Perhaps he felt that holding each other's sky chain was not safe enough, so he took off the inner armor on his chest which was still slightly warm.
"How can I do this? If you give it to me, what about your own safety, Miss Ye? No, no!"
Xiao Jingsheng was so moved that tears were about to flow out of the corners of his mouth, but he still suppressed the pain and resolutely refused.
This thing is too hot to handle. If I really take it, either silence is better than words here, and it will prove the adultery between the two... Oh no, the affair. I'm afraid they won't be able to leave this Lingye Island!
Ye Qingtan said anxiously: "You are my savior, so what are your possessions worth mentioning? What's more, even if you don't have the Xuanyin Shield, you still have the Dingshen Pearl, the Hun Tian Ling, and the Blazing Fire Banner..."
"Son, what's wrong with you?"
Someone noticed that Jiang Mushen in front suddenly stopped. His desolate back made people feel sad from the bottom of their hearts.
Jiang Mushen took several deep breaths, and his hands in his sleeves tightened and loosened, loosened and tightened again. Finally, he gritted his teeth and made up his mind.
"Nothing, speed up. If anyone falls behind, it's their own fault."
After saying that, he swung his sleeves violently, and some dust that was difficult to capture with the naked eye mixed into the miasma, instantly increasing his speed.
The others looked at the Saint Lady and Xiao Jingsheng behind them intentionally or unintentionally, shook their heads meaningfully, and then followed one by one.
"Miss Ye, your fiancé seems angry."
Xiao Jingsheng touched his nose: "Is it not good for us to do this?"
Ye Qingtan said indifferently: "I have never admitted that he is my fiancé, but it is all his wishful thinking. Apart from Brother Xiao, I can no longer tolerate any other man in my eyes. And, no matter what, I will wait for you. When you have the same conversation strength as my Yuxiao Saint Palace, come to me!"
"I understand Miss Ye's intentions, but the Holy Son is from the same sect as you after all. If I cause you and your fellow disciples to become enemies because of me, it is not my intention. Alas!"
Xiao Jingsheng sighed deeply, his face full of guilt.
Seeing this, Ye Qingtan couldn't help but admire him: "If this Jiang Mushen is half as kind-hearted as you, Brother Xiao... Forget it, let's not talk about him. It's destined that there will be no possibility between him and me."
[Hint: Ye Qingtan's favorability +2, current accumulated favorability 90! ]
[Congratulations, Ye Qingtan's favorability has reached over 90, loyal and unwavering! ]
[Tip: Strategy ② has already satisfied the favorability, please complete the additional conditions as soon as possible. ]
very good!
Next, as long as he waits for the girl’s strength to reach the third level of Dharma, he will be able to obtain two strands of original energy in one fell swoop.
"Well, I will definitely not let Miss Ye down. I will come to your house in person someday!"
"Silly boy, why are you still calling me Miss Ye?"
"Qingtan."
Ye Qingtan was so moved that she took the initiative to hug the other's waist and groped awkwardly with her little mouth: "Brother Xiao."
Ever since the last time they kissed, this girl seems to be addicted.
Xiao Jingsheng coughed lightly: "Qingtan, your fellow disciples have gone far away, let's follow them first."
The area is filled with miasma, which may be a good place to commit a crime. But Jiang Mushen also said that there are poisonous insects and beasts that can threaten the cultivators in the Spirit Transformation Realm. Xiao Jingsheng doesn't want to be robbed by these tentacle monsters when he is having fun.
…
"You evil beast, you're looking for death!"
With a delicate shout, Ye Qingtan summoned the Five Elements Divine Fire Circle, burning all the poisonous insects that surrounded him.
But the constant sizzling sound caused by the roasting was a bit chilling.
"Something is wrong. There are clearly no signs of fighting on this road, but the number of poisonous insects that appear now is a bit too much."
At this time, Xiao Jingsheng and the other two had already chased for some distance, but they had not seen the large group of people for a long time. Along the way, there were poisonous insects that kept surrounding them like a swarm of locusts, which was somewhat beyond their expectations.
Ye Qingtan was not stupid either, and responded: "Brother Xiao, what you mean is that someone deliberately lured these poisonous insects here?"
Xiao Jingsheng nodded: "And it seems more like it was specially arranged for us, otherwise we wouldn't be able to capture any traces at all."
Hearing this, Ye Qingtan's heart tightened, and he looked ashamed: "I'm sorry, Brother Xiao, those people might have come for me, and I have implicated you."
In Ye Qingtan's opinion, it was normal for her, the saint of Yuxiao Holy Palace, to be targeted. On the contrary, a rookie like Xiao Jingsheng should not be the enemy's main target.
"It's hard to say. Now is not the time to talk about it. Just sprinkle this on yourself first."
Xiao Jingsheng directly took out two jade bottles and handed them to each other one after another.
Ye Qingtan had almost 100% trust in Xiao Jingsheng, and without hesitation, he poured the liquid in the jade bottle onto himself.
"Let's go!" After doing this, Xiao Jingsheng directly grabbed the other person's slender waist and disappeared on the spot.
After a few breaths, a pair of eyes emerged from the hood and emerged from the ground full of dead insects. "What kind of escape technique is this? Even I can't detect the aura of this person. This boy is quite interesting. No wonder the Saint Son is so concerned about him."
