Chapter 525
The Tianxiao Mountains are located between the Jinchi Kingdom and the Shenying Kingdom, attracting countless warriors from both countries to come and train.
In the mountains there are dense forests that block out the sun, there are rare Yuan plants, there are also ruins left by the ancestors who passed away here, and of course there are countless monsters.
When Yuan Jing and Duan Linzhi arrived at this mountain range, they abandoned the Nebula Shuttle and entered from the ground. In order to gain experience and not reveal their identities, the Nebula Shuttle's logo was too obvious, allowing people to tell at a glance that they were disciples of the Star Sword Sect passing by.
Because the Wushuang Sect is located within the territory of the Shenying Kingdom, the two men had no plans to enter the Shenying Kingdom for the time being. Instead, they planned to cross the Tianxiao Mountains and then enter the border area between the Shenying Kingdom and the Donghuang Kingdom, where the Qimu Sect was located.
Somewhere in the mountains, seven or eight warriors were complaining as they walked through them.
"The people of Wushuang Sect deserve to die. We were the first to discover the thousand-year-old cloud wood fragrance, and we were about to get it, but they jumped out and snatched it away at this moment. All our hard work for the past six months has been wasted."
It's no wonder that they are so angry. From discovering the trace of the thousand-year-old cloud wood fragrance to finding a way to get this treasure of heaven and earth, they have spent a lot of effort in the Tianxiao Mountains. They thought that no matter how much time they spent, once they got the thousand-year-old cloud wood fragrance, the Yuanshi they got in exchange would be enough to make up for their losses during this period of time.
But the result now made them heartbroken. Not only did they waste half a year, but also the elixirs and other supplies they invested in the past half year. Thinking of the arrogant faces of those disciples from the Wushuang Sect, they wanted to kill those people. Unfortunately, they were disciples from a famous sect after all, and they, a group of casual cultivators, were no match for them at all.
"Humph, what's so great about the people of Wushuang Sect? The disciples of Wushuang Sect think they are the best in the world, but they can't even compare to Master Duan Feng of Xingjian Sect. Yet they act more arrogant than anyone else all day long."
The group of people complained as they found a relatively safe place to rest. They were all injured. They first fought with the monster that was guarding the thousand-year-old Yunmuxiang, and then the disciples of Wushuang Sect showed up and fought again, which led to the current embarrassing situation.
Sitting around the campfire, several people were chewing dry food while feeling extremely depressed. If they had known the result would be like this, they should not have been greedy and should have honestly hunted monsters and searched for Yuanzhi. The harvest in half a year would not be small. As excited as they were when they first discovered the traces of the suspected thousand-year-old Yunmuxiang, they regretted it now.
After finishing their dry food, several people fell asleep. Suddenly, one of the warriors, who was forcing himself to be awake, jumped up and woke up the other companions. The sound of monsters came from a distance and was coming towards them. They had to leave here quickly.
His companions hurriedly got up, rubbed their faces and asked, "What's going on? This place should be seldom visited by monsters, why would it run here?"
No one could answer this question, and no one bothered to find the answer. They quickly picked a direction and ran. From the noise, they knew that there were quite a few monsters. If the two sides collided, they were not sure that everyone would escape safely. Knowing that they could not win, of course they retreated first. Just like when they faced the Wushuang Sect before, even though they were humiliated by them, they had to grit their teeth and give up the Millennium Yunmuxiang just because they did not want to provoke the disciples of the Wushuang Sect.
However, some people are born narrow-minded, and you can't provoke them even if you don't want to.
When they changed directions several times and found that the monsters behind them were still chasing them and the distance was getting shorter and shorter, their faces turned pale. This was not right at all. The monsters were coming for them. They were being set up.
The person who first discovered the movement of the monster said with an unpleasant expression, "Did someone from the Wushuang Sect do something?"
"Damn it, this is a disciple from a famous sect. How is he any different from a treacherous villain? We have all given up on the thousand-year-old Yunmuxiang, but they still want to kill us all!"
"Did they sprinkle demon-luring powder on our clothes? Is it too late to change clothes now?"
"Think about it, this happened after we were sitting by the campfire. It shouldn't be the demon-luring powder, but the heavenly powder. It will only take effect after it evaporates under heat, and the smell will blend into our bodies. Damn, if it is really this thing, there is only one way now. Let's find a water source and hide in it."
Before they could find water, they were caught up by the monsters behind them. They fought with the monsters while running. The scars on each of their bodies began to increase. The smell of blood made the monsters even more crazy.
They were finally approaching the water source, but then something even more desperate happened before them: they found that several disciples from the Wushuang Sect had appeared, blocking their way to the water source.
The Wushuang Sect disciple who led the group said arrogantly, "Do you really think you can get away with just running away? You offended our Wushuang Sect and you still want to run away? Are you casual cultivators qualified to go against us Wushuang Sect disciples?"
"Ahhh! We are going to fight you!" These warriors were really crazy. They were forced into a desperate situation and just wanted to drag someone down with them before they died. So instead of dealing with the monsters, they turned around and fought against the disciples of Wushuang Sect.
But he had been fighting with the monster for a long time and had not had a good rest until now. How could he be no match for these Wushuang Sect disciples? He could not even respond to one move of his and was sent flying backwards, about to fall into the monster's mouth or be torn apart by its claws.
At this critical moment, there were several "puff puff" sounds, and the warriors saw the monster that was still mad a moment ago, suddenly fell to the ground. If you look closely, you can find that there is a tiny hole in the center of the monster's head, which was pierced by the sword energy and killed in one blow.
In the blink of an eye, dozens of monsters were wiped out. The warriors who were extremely angry and desperate just now were overjoyed to have survived the catastrophe. They knew that they had met a master who saved their lives. They ignored the Wushuang Sect disciples who were still opposite them and repeatedly thanked the empty place: "Thank you for saving our lives, senior. Thank you for saving us."
"Who? Who dares to ruin our Wushuang Sect's good deeds!" Contrary to their attitude, the disciples of Wushuang Sect were furious. Someone actually dared to ruin their deeds here, which was against Wushuang Sect.
"Wushuang Sect? Is Wushuang Sect so great? Until now, I have only seen some shameless scums coming out of Wushuang Sect."
A cold voice sounded in the dense forest, and then two figures slowly came into everyone's sight. They were Yuan Jing and Duan Linzhi who were passing by. They felt something strange when they sensed the monster's manic breath, so they followed the breath to check, and then they saw such a good show.
This made Yuan Jing wonder, is Wushuang Sect really a famous sect? Is it true that he has a preconceived prejudice against Wushuang Sect? Can such a sect continue to exist?
Previously, everyone had seen the expert in the dark easily deal with dozens of mad monsters, so they thought he was at least middle-aged. They did not expect that the warrior in front of them was so young. This situation made the disciples of the Wushuang Sect arrogant again.
"Who are you? Tell me your name if you have the guts. The Wushuang Sect is not something that can be humiliated by some nameless people!"
Yuan Jing sneered: "What? After beating the younger one, you still have to call the older one over? It turns out that the reputation of the Wushuang Sect is maintained by this method. In my eyes, it's nothing more than that."
"With you? You are not even qualified to know our names." Duan Linzhi mocked mercilessly.
Previously, it was that group of independent martial artists who were so angry that they were in despair. Now it was the turn of the disciples of the Wushuang Sect to be so angry that they were jumping up and down. They wanted to deal with these two people the same way they dealt with those independent martial artists, but the scene of them solving the monster before was still in their minds, so they were not so stupid as to not be able to tell the strength.
But since they were unwilling to spare even a few independent martial artists who had already left, how could they really be afraid of Yuan Jing and Duan Linzhi? What they were thinking in their hearts was to return to the sect and make a complaint, asking the sect to send experts to deal with these two bastards who dared to humiliate the Wushuang Sect.
Therefore, he did not dare to take a step forward, but still threatened: "Just wait, Wushuang Sect will never let you go. Let's go!"
Just as a few disciples took a step forward, several streams of sword energy swept in front of their heels, causing them to jump and dodge in fear. But if Duan Linzhi wanted to shoot the sword energy at them, how could they dodge it?
"Did I tell you that you can leave now?" Duan Linzhi said coldly.
A disciple of the Wushuang Sect was really scared. If they died here, no one in the Wushuang Sect would know who killed them. They have always been arrogant and confident that no one would dare to attack them after knowing their identities. But when they really ran into a tough situation, they were scared again.
"You...what do you want to do?" The tone was quite harsh.
Yuan Jing sniffed: "Heavenly slurry powder? If that's the case, then you should try the taste of the heavenly slurry powder yourself. Whether you can escape depends on your luck."
"Wait, senior." A casual martial artist suddenly spoke.
Yuan Jing turned to look at them. The warrior stepped forward bravely and said respectfully, "Senior, they have the thousand-year-old Yunxiang wood on them. We were supposed to have discovered it, but at the last moment these people jumped out and snatched it from us. It's better for you to have it than for them to have it. You saved us, and we have no way to repay you. We can only provide this information."
"Thousand-year-old cloud fragrant wood? It is indeed a good stuff." Yuan Jing's eyes lit up. This kind of natural treasure is hard to come by. However, the disciples of the Wushuang Sect on the opposite side took a few steps back vigilantly because of these words. How could they be willing to give up such a good thing?
"Don't want to hand it over? Well, I'll deal with you first, and then search you. I'm sure I'll find it." Yuan Jing said coldly. He didn't care at all if he took action against a few shameless scums.
"We surrender, we surrender." Those people found out that Yuan Jing was not joking but was really going to take action. They hated him secretly but had to compromise. They decided to file a complaint when they returned to the sect and then kill them to let them know the consequences of offending the disciples of Wushuang Sect. Otherwise, would they lose the face of Wushuang Sect?
How could Yuan Jing and Duan Linzhi not see the resentful look in their eyes when they lowered their heads?
A disciple threw out a box. Yuan Jing took it, opened it, took a look, and then put it away with satisfaction. Then he flicked his fingers and said, "Since you are so honest, you can leave now."
Several disciples of Wushuang Sect ran away. Duan Linzhi's eyes flashed with mockery. If they could run out of the Tianxiao Mountains, it would be a shame for all the knowledge of alchemy that Yuan Jing had acquired over the years.
