Chapter 136 Hidden Two, Hidden Thirteen
At the camp at the foot of the mountain, a river rushed past with rapid currents.
Zuoqiu stopped folding his folding fan, and sat in the tent as quiet as a clay sculpture, listening for the second time to Zuoqiu Baiming and Zuoqiu Lanlan's stories about their experiences in the mountains, without missing out any details.
The two elder-level figures were both nearly a hundred years old. They stood behind him on his left and right, with murderous gleams in their eyes from time to time.
In the southern border, someone actually dared to go against the Zuoqiu clan, and was ruthless and wanted to destroy them all.
From the small we can know the big picture. This is not a simple fight for the immortal soil, but it shows that the disciples of Tianya Ridge, Guanshan, Suizong and Sanchen Palace have no awe at all towards their number one sect who are the bosses of the southern border.
Without a sense of awe, there will be more and more acts of rebellion in the future, just like what is happening in Lingxiao Palace today.
The white-bearded elder standing behind Zuoqiu Ting sneered, "Tianya Ridge and Guanshan are understandable. After all, the Four Extreme Ape Kings and the Living Spirit Taboo are indeed extraordinary, so their disciples are naturally confident. But what are Sui Zong and Sanchen Palace? Young Master, there must be an explanation for this matter, otherwise they might think that the southern border has changed its master."
Zuoqiu Baiming touched his broken leg which was still painful, and said in a deep voice with great resentment: "Sui Zong is too arrogant. Even a junior of Xue family doesn't take Zuoqiu Clan seriously. We have been too easy to talk to over the years. They have regarded Zuoqiu Clan as the Jiuli Clan and think that millions of clans are just clay sculptures."
Zuoqiu Lanlan's eyes were red: "Brother Che was eaten directly by Di Ran. Guanshan's ferocity is even greater than that of Sui Zong."
Zuoqiu Baiming said: "Many forces in the southern border have united. We must not take it lightly. If we don't disperse them, once they take over Lizhou, we will be the next target."
Zuo Qiuting looked calm, his thoughts drifting to the Thirty-Three Mile Mountain: "According to what you said, you were with Sima Tan when you were knocked unconscious?"
Zuoqiu Lanlan's pretty face, which originally showed pain and resentment, suddenly turned red with shame and she didn't dare to look up at anyone.
"good."
Zuoqiu Baiming then said, "It must be a sneak attack by the people of Sui Zong and Tianya Ridge. I only regret that my dead soul's skin was broken, otherwise even if I had a broken leg, I would not have been attacked like this."
Zuo Qiuting said, "But you were safely sent down the mountain, and the immortal soil and exotic medicine on you were not lost."
Zuoqiu Lanlan said, "It must be Sima Tan who saved us. He...his fighting ability is probably not inferior to Senior Brother Bai Ming, and he has seven strange insects. If the people of Sui Zong and Tianya Ridge mess with him, it would be a death wish. Given time, he will surely be famous among the younger generation of martial artists in the southern region."
Zuoqiu Ting looked at Zuoqiu Lanlan in surprise, thinking that the two must have concealed something, and said with a smile: "Is he so strong? It's rare for Sister Lanlan to praise a young man to such a high level."
Zuo Qiu Lanlan praised him generously: "His cultivation and combat power are secondary. This person has a very charismatic personality and a rare intellectual character. Otherwise, how could the two of us get down the mountain alive? Senior Brother Bai Ming, right?"
Zuoqiu Baiming didn’t know what happened after he fainted, and he wasn’t even sure whether he was knocked unconscious by those seven strange insects.
Who knows, did the two of them have something to do with each other on the mountain? He said: "Sir, the fairy mist has dissipated, but Sima Tan has not come down the mountain. I guess he has left from another direction, and the large amount of dyeing medicine and golden spring that he seized from the martial artists of Sanchen Palace and Guanshan must have been embezzled by him."
Zuoqiu Baiming didn't know that Sui Zong and Tianyaling were also ambushed and their entire army was wiped out.
Zuoqiu Lanlan said: "Sima Tan may have encountered danger."
Zuoqiu Baiming sneered: "If he sent us down the mountain, why didn't he come back to the camp with us? It's obvious that he wanted to keep the treasure for himself."
…
Zuoqiu Ting didn't want to listen to their argument, so he stood up and walked out of the tent, looking at the lush and towering Sanshisanli Mountain. The air was fresh and the energy of Dharma was strong.
The glow of the sunset and the clouds have retreated to the top of the mountain.
If the Five Seas Realm martial artist was still stranded in the mountains, he would have surely burned himself to death by now.
He walked towards the stone tablet at the entrance to the mountain.
There were hundreds of people, vehicles, and strange beasts gathered there. In this fairyland, the explorable area of the dyeing cloud medicine had almost been harvested, and only the strange and majestic Sanshisanli Mountain could still be harvested, so naturally they all gathered here.
Who doesn’t want to transform into a pure immortal body?
Who doesn’t want to break through quickly, step into the top ranks of the younger generation, and then watch the storm unfold?
As for the unexplorable areas deep in the fairyland space, old guys in the Daozhong realm have been dying there one after another. The latest news received is that a giant in the Changsheng realm has been killed there. It is so terrifyingly dangerous that many people have begun to retreat.
In front of the huge stone tablet as big as a wall, the younger generation of martial artists from various major forces were discussing and arguing heatedly, as if something big had happened.
The young leaders of the four major sects, Tianya Ridge, and Guanshan all had gloomy expressions.
They couldn't wait for Xue Qi, Chen Song, Di Ran and others to come back, so they sent martial artists from Yongquan Realm into the mountains to look for them, but they ended up carrying back a large number of corpses.
All the treasures and money were missing from the corpse. There was no doubt that it was a man-made disaster, not some strange thing in the mountains.
"Who is it? If I find out, I will cook and fry him, eat his meat and sleep on his skin." Mie Di didn't know how to vent his anger, so he could only say these cruel words and secretly observe everyone present.
"It's very targeted. Why does it feel like the work of the Jiuli tribe?"
The figure of "Sima Qin" emerged in Shi Shishi's mind, but he felt that his cultivation level was not enough to accomplish such a big thing.
Could it be that the legendary Jiuli Hidden Sect took action?
"The Ten-Food Dharma King is amazing. He pointed out the most crucial point in one sentence. This is a siege against the four major sects, and Tianya Ridge is also implicated."
Chen Wenwu added: "A large number of magic tools, rare medicines, and golden springs were seized, and they will most likely flow into the market. As long as we investigate, we will definitely find the source. This vengeance will be avenged by the Three Chen Palace!"
Two of the three greatest men of the younger generation in Sanchen Palace died one after another, which was a tragic loss.
Now, Chen Wenwu is the only one left.
Zuoqiu Ting silently observed the corpse on the ground, with a smile on his face that grew wider and wider. He thought to himself, "What a Li Weiyi, he has such a big appetite. How many treasures did he steal? He used my Zuoqiu Sect's talisman robe to go into the mountains, made a huge fortune, but absconded with the treasures. He can escape from the monk, but can he also escape from the temple?"
…
"Is the Hidden Lord here?"
Li Weiyi looked around the low grassland hills in front of him. There was no obstruction to his view, and there was no sign of anyone for dozens of miles. How could there be any trace of the Hermit King?
“Wow!”
The latest novel is published first on Liu9shuba!
On the small hill in front, which was only tens of meters high, a crack suddenly appeared, and an invisible veil was lifted.
The tall and sturdy figure of the Hidden Lord appeared, wearing a metal mask and a black robe. He looked majestic without even getting angry. He said from a distance, "Weiyi, are you enjoying the cooperation with the Zuoqiu Sect? Have you helped them dig up the immortal soil?"
Li Weiyi observed the curtain and found the array pattern. He quickly climbed up the hill and reported, "We dug up nearly a pound of immortal soil, and a large amount of spiritual soil. Zuoqiu Baiming has brought it down the mountain."
"One pound is a little less, but establishing friendship with Zuoqiu Menting is the most important thing. You will have a lot of areas for cooperation in the future. Speaking of which, it was I who personally invited the ancestor of Zuoqiu Menting to come to Lizhou." Yinjun said.
Yin Twenty-four and Yin Twenty-three followed closely up the mountain, both with natural expressions, not daring to reveal the truth about Li Weiyi's escape and embezzlement.
Li Weiyi was a little nervous and said, "Isn't the Hidden Sect's purpose to be hidden? Can't we just let the cooperation be handed over to the inheritor Cangli? Oh, by the way, if Lord Yin goes to invite the ancestors of Zuoqiu Sect, won't the existence of the Hidden Sect be exposed?"
The Hidden Lord, who was always serious in front of other hermits, smiled and said, "For thousands of years, as two transcendent forces in the southern border, Zuoqiu Clan and Jiuli Clan have been trying to find out each other's background. Among them, the most intense one is the Hidden Clan."
"You don't think that the Zuoqiu Sect doesn't have its own hidden door? For tens of millions of sects, tens of millions of ancient clans, and tens of millions of sects, the existence of the hidden door is an open secret."
"The Jiuli tribe and the hidden sect of the Zuoqiu Clan compete with each other and fight in secret. But they also cooperate with each other to deal with other forces in the southern border that may grow into tens of millions of sects."
"These dirty work is done by the two hidden sects. They will not allow a third force with tens of millions of people to emerge in the southern border."
"In addition, in order to win the support of Zuoqiu Sect, the Jiuli Clan... especially the Hidden Clan, must demonstrate the strength that a tens of millions of ancient clans should have, and offer a sufficient price."
Li Weiyi heard something unusual and looked serious: "The situation has become so dangerous that we must ask for help from Zuoqiu Sect to overcome the crisis?"
Yin Jun looked deep in his eyes: "The entry of Tianyaling was unexpected. No one thought that the demons would dare to interfere in the struggle for the world. Of course, even so, it is not necessary to ask for the help of Zuoqiumen. But if there is an easier way to solve the problem, why fight it alone?"
"Youyi, if you want to be a hidden person, you have to understand one thing. As a leader, you can't just consider how to fight the enemy to the death, but you should also consider how to minimize your own casualties while winning."
"The hidden people follow you, so you have to take care of them."
"In the seven states of the southern border, there are many powerful forces competing with each other. There are barbarians, clans, powerful families, sects, demon tribes, gangs... There are so many strong people. If you want to survive, you must find allies as much as possible. We need allies, and the Zuoqiu Clan needs them too."
Next to Yinjun, there were two other figures in black, who were observing Li Weiyi.
"What are your names, these two?"
Li Weiyi shifted his gaze to them.
One of the figures in black had fair skin and a round, soft face, and looked to be in his twenties. He moved forward, not looking down on Li Weiyi because of his low level of cultivation, and smiled and said with a fist, "Yin Shisan."
"Hidden Two."
The other man was shorter, with a thin face, deep eyes, and a heavy aura. He looked to be in his thirties or forties.
Both of them were wearing high-level magical nightgowns.
The difference is that a corner of blue brocade official robe can be seen inside Yin Shisan's night clothes, which shows that he has another extraordinary identity.
