Chapter 14: Blood Ancestor of Mingling
As soon as the door was opened, Xu Mobai had already enthusiastically grabbed Yun Ruchen's arm. Seeing Feng Jingluo, he shook his sleeves. "Please come in, both of you." "You seem to have some free time." Feng Jingluo said. She was not annoyed by Xu Mobai and Jiang Chen's visits, and even thought it would be a good thing for Yun Ruchen to get to know them. Although Jiang Chen was sharp-tongued and rude, and Xu Mobai was a playboy and casual, both of them were people of good character, otherwise they would not have met her. "Enjoy life to the fullest when you are happy!" He said pretentiously, raising his eyebrows with a smile. Jiang Chen seemed to have made a satisfactory elixir yesterday. Although he pretended to be calm, the joy in his eyes could not be concealed no matter what. Bai Yuge arrived later and stood silently, his eyes quickly glancing at Yun Ruchen. The group walked towards Yusheng Building. Xu Mobai walked in front and said a few words to Bai Yuge. Seeing that she ignored him, he turned to chat with Yun Ruchen. Jiang Chen lagged behind them, disdainful of the men's huddled noises. He clutched the compendium of spiritual medicines in his hands, examining it with a stern frown. Feng Jingluo walked last, her arms swinging slightly at her sides. She wasn't entirely satisfied with her night's training. She'd hit a bottleneck, and she couldn't find a way to break through. Could it be that only after entering the forbidden area could she achieve a breakthrough? They wandered through the streets and alleys. The city remained deserted, and some small shopkeepers idly fanned themselves with palm-leaf fans. Suddenly, a distant voice rang out, a country tune, its humming melody incomprehensible. The singer approached, the figure emerging from the end of the road. He wore a tattered gray robe, held only by an orange-patterned belt, straw sandals on his feet, and a fishing rod slung over his shoulder. He looked like he'd just returned from a field or pond, clutching a piece of foxtail grass in his mouth, his eyes darting around. His gray hair swung from side to side, and he looked to be in his thirties or forties, not old at all. His eyes were bright, yet possessed a sinister air. Staring into his eyes for a long time, I felt as if my soul was being pulled out of my body. Xu Mobai, leading the group, trailed off, his voice gradually lowering as he raised his right hand to block the oncoming Yun Ruchen. Bai Yuge paused, unknowingly drawing his sword and placing it before him. Jiang Chen raised his head, glanced back at Feng Jingluo, and with his right hand behind his back, silently produced a pill. The man walked up to them, stopped, sneezed, and greeted them with a familiar air: "Where are you going, young Taoist friends?" He rubbed his stomach and said, "Poor old ancestor, I haven't eaten after all this travel. I wonder if anyone would be so kind as to treat me to a meal." His eyes shone brightly, "After we eat, we can get on with our journey." Xu Mobai blocked Yun Ruchen's way...
As soon as the door opened, Xu Mobai had already warmly grasped Yun Ruchen's arm. Seeing Feng Jingluo, he shook his sleeves. "Please come in, both of you."
"You seem to have a lot of free time." Feng Jingluo said.
She didn't mind Xu Mobai and Jiang Chen coming to visit, and even thought it would be a good thing for Yun Ruchen to get to know them.
Although Jiang Chen is sharp-tongued and Xu Mobai is unruly and casual, they are both people of good character, otherwise they would not have met her.
"Enjoy life to the fullest when you are happy!" He said pretentiously, raising his eyebrows with a smile.
Jiang Chen seemed to have made a satisfactory elixir yesterday. Although he pretended to be calm, he could not hide the joy in his eyes.
Bai Yuge arrived a little later and stood there in silence, his eyes quickly sweeping over Yun Ruchen.
The group walked towards Yusheng Building. Xu Mobai walked in front and said a few words to Bai Yuge. Seeing that the other party ignored him, he turned to chat with Yun Ruchen.
Jiang Chen lagged behind them half a step, disdaining the men gathering together and making noise. He held the spiritual medicine compendium in his hand and looked at it, frowning from time to time with a serious expression.
Feng Jingluo walked at the back, her arms swinging slightly at her sides. She wasn't very satisfied with her overnight training. She had hit a bottleneck and couldn't find a way to break through.
Is it possible to break through only after entering the forbidden area?
They walked through the streets and alleys. There were still few people in the city. Some shop owners were idly waving their palm-leaf fans.
Suddenly, a singing voice came from a distance, like a country tune, humming so softly that I couldn't understand what it was singing.
From far away, the singer's figure walked out from the end of the road. He was wearing a tattered gray robe, only tied with an orange patterned belt, a pair of straw sandals on his feet, and a fishing rod on his shoulder.
It looked like he had just returned from a field or a pond, holding a piece of foxtail grass in his mouth and looking around.
With his gray hair swaying from side to side, he looked to be in his thirties or forties, not old at all. His eyes were bright, yet somewhat evil.
Staring into his eyes for a long time, I felt as if my soul was being pulled out of my body.
Xu Mobai, who was leading the way, lowered his voice gradually and raised his right hand to block Yun Ruchen who was continuing to walk.
Bai Yuge stopped and took out his sword and placed it in front of him.
Jiang Chen raised his head and looked back at Feng Jingluo. He put his right hand behind his back and quietly took out a pill.
The man walked up to them, stopped, sneezed, and greeted them in a familiar manner: "Where are you going, my little Taoist friends?"
He rubbed his stomach and said, "Poor old ancestor, I have been traveling all the way and haven't eaten yet. I wonder if there are any kind people willing to treat me to a meal."
With a grin, his eyes sparkled: "After dinner, we can get going."
Xu Mobai blocked Yun Ruchen and retreated. He had never seen Bai Yuge look so alert. He could feel that Bai Yuge's hand holding the hilt of the sword had tensed.
"Eating is easy to talk about." Xu Mobai laughed dryly: "May I ask who this fellow Taoist is?"
"Mingling." Mingling chuckled and said, "They call me the Blood Ancestor of Mingling. I wonder if you, little Taoist friend, have heard of it?"
Xu Mobai's heart tightened and he gritted his teeth secretly.
The Blood Ancestor of Mingling, the Record of Sins is divided into three lists: Heaven, Earth and Man. The Human List is just a group of mediocre guys.
Anyone who made it onto the Heavenly Ranking was a group of evil cultivators who committed evil. Their ability to escape was exceptional, making them difficult to capture. Furthermore, these young men were usually captured by the deacons and elders of each sect, so their capture was of little concern to them.
Because the evil cultivators on the Heavenly List are at least at the Out-of-Body Realm.
This is really terrible. The managers of all branches in the inner city combined may not be enough for Mingling to kill.
This guy once massacred several villages in order to refine magical weapons, and later got the title of Blood Ancestor.
He likes to drink the blood of young people, and cultivators regard it as the best.
Xu Mobai exhaled, a thin layer of sweat on his forehead. "I've never heard of this before. If you're hungry, I'm willing to pay you a fee of spirit stones to treat you to a meal at Mingluan Tower."
Ming Ling shook his head: "Young Taoist friend, you are not honest." He took the fishing rod from his shoulder and swung it, and there were faint fluctuations and flickering in the air.
The sweat on his forehead dripped down to his eyebrows. He turned his gaze to Bai Yuge and found that he had clenched his teeth and his face was pale, but he still couldn't pull out the sword in his hand.
The opponent's force invisibly pressed down on Bai Yuge in front of him.
Xu Mobai was anxious. Even if he spread the news now, it would be too late when the elders of the sect arrived.
what to do!
'clatter'
Slightly heavy footsteps were heard coming from behind them.
Bai Yuge felt relaxed and his body swayed. He turned his head and saw Feng Jingluo still looking thoughtful, as if he had encountered difficulties in what he was thinking about. He walked slowly to his side.
He slowly tightened his stiff fingers and raised his lips.
As expected of her, she can remain calm no matter what kind of enemy she faces. If she encounters misfortune this time, he hopes Feng Jingluo can escape.
Bai Yuge drew his sword.
Jiang Chen looked at Feng Jingluo's back worriedly, walked to Xu Mobai and looked into his eyes.
"Can you escape?"
Xu Mobai smiled uncomfortably, "I can't escape."
In the out-of-body state, how can a few of them, with only one Yuanying at most, escape?
"Are you the girl who threw away 100,000 spirit stones?"
Ming Ling leaned on his fishing rod. "What a courage!" He clapped his hands and laughed. "It's as energetic as I was back then."
"The Palace Master of Lanyu Palace asked you to come?" Feng Jingluo asked.
Ming Ling said disdainfully, "He is nothing. I just heard that there is a good business in Qinzhou City."
He stretched out his fingers and rubbed them, "Since this fellow Daoist can come up with 100,000 spirit stones, it should be easy for him to come up with another 100,000."
"Lately, I've been doing good." He made a gesture of worship. "I don't want to kill. As long as you are willing to spend money to avoid disaster, I will leave Qinzhou City immediately!"
Xu Mobai stared at Feng Jingluo. Does she still have so many spirit stones?
Yun Ruchen turned sideways to stare at Feng Jingluo, gazing into her eyes. This expression... didn't seem like someone who took Mingling seriously.
Feng Jingluo remained silent, waiting for him to continue.
Ming Ling raised a finger and shook it slowly.
"One hundred thousand per person!"
"You..." Xu Mobai was furious. He had quite a bit of savings and wanted to pool his money with everyone.
Jiang Chen held his arm tightly, signaling him to calm down and not to provoke the other party.
She has a pill, which is a magic treasure of the sect to protect her. Everyone present is a genius of the sect, and they all have some means of saving their lives. However, they have not yet entered the forbidden area, so it would be a pity to use them here.
Ming Ling's gaze suddenly fell on Jiang Chen. "Little girl, I advise you not to waste the elixir. It's useless to the ancestor."
"No matter how powerful a spiritual treasure is, what good is it if the user is weak?"
Jiang Chen let go of Xu Mobai, and his fingers that were twisting the pill trembled.
Among the people present, Feng Jingluo was the only one with the calmest expression, which even surprised Mingling.
He looked at the other person in surprise and suspicion. He didn't sense any dangerous aura from this woman. Why was she so calm?
Or can she afford so many spirit stones?
Ming Ling licked his lips. He hadn't come out for a while. Are young people nowadays so rich?
"What do you think, fellow Daoist?"
Feng Jingluo raised his eyes and looked at the clouds in the sky. "You are too greedy."
His gaze moved downwards, and his eyes were like two ghostly lights, which made Ming Ling alert.
"I won't give you even half a spirit stone."
The atmosphere instantly turned cold as she spoke, like a drop into an ice cave.
Several people's eyes fell on Feng Jingluo.
They naturally knew that she was not a person who could be arrogant, but facing the Out-of-Body State, did Feng Jingluo have any magic weapon to fight against it?
Feng Jingluo said, "Go outside the city. It's not convenient for you to go inside the city."
Ming Ling withdrew his gaze thoughtfully and nodded.
The group walked out of the city in a depressing atmosphere. Xu Mobai glanced at Ming Ling who was following them.
It was impossible to say that he wasn't nervous. His palms were sweaty, and he couldn't think of any way Feng Jingluo could solve the trouble they encountered.
After leaving the city gate, Feng Jingluo did not stop until he was almost at the foot of Tanzhou Mountain. Then he stopped and turned around to take out the black bird.
Ming Ling swung his fishing rod, "I have seen many geniuses, but not many as arrogant as you."
The fishing line, as thin as a gossamer, had a faint crack appearing as it passed through the void. The fish hook at the front floated and fell towards Feng Jingluo.
Bai Yuge stood beside Feng Jingluo and asked quietly, "Are you sure?"
He once picked up a broken divine weapon in the secret realm. If he used all his strength to blow it up, the power might be enough to hurt someone in the Out-of-Body Realm, but whether they could survive would also depend on luck.
"It's okay." She said softly, and the troubled look on her face caused by thinking just now disappeared. Now she looked at Bai Yuge with a smile in her eyes, and did not take Mingling to heart.
Bai Yuge gripped the hilt of the sword tightly, responding to her without looking away, then reacted belatedly and dodged in panic.
Feng Jingluo raised his hand, and the black bird floated in front of him.
"Good sword." Ming Ling stared at the blood energy revealed by the sword, swung the fishing rod, and the hook entangled with Xuanniao.
He doesn't need to take a few Jindan stage cultivators seriously.
The black bird hummed and shot out like an arrow, actively drilling into the entanglement of the fishing line and piercing straight into Mingling's face.
"Bold!" This action angered Ming Ling. He stretched out his hand and made a gesture. A blood mist rose from his body and condensed into a blood-colored evil god statue behind him.
It has six arms, eyes like copper bells, fangs exposed outside its lips, and its big hands reach out to grab the black bird.
Put your index and middle fingers together and press down gently. The black bird will move accordingly and dodge downwards the evil god's palm.
Ming Ling felt like he had lost face, so he waved his sleeves and slapped everyone. The gathered spiritual energy caused the soil on the ground to crack, and it crushed over with an unstoppable aura.
"point"
With a whisper, the black birds suddenly separated, and dozens of them flew in front of Feng Jingluo.
Sword Formation
The black birds gathered together, forming circles from the inside to the outside, and the sword energy between them was connected, and it seemed that the superposition made the aura change even more dangerous.
There were flashes of tiny arcs of electricity, and the sky above their heads gradually darkened, with dark clouds and flashes of lightning.
Feng Jingluo swung his sword finger, "Control the thunder!"
The sword formation suddenly shrank, lightning flashed, and then suddenly separated. The black birds seemed to become more numerous, and they shot towards Mingling with lightning wrapped around them.
The lightning that streaked across the sky followed and was about to fall towards the Nether Ridge.
Ming Ling's pupils shrank, and his gaze wandered between the black bird and the lightning in the sky, his eyes filled with disbelief.
What kind of tricks did this woman use to be able to control thunder so easily?
And it's not just any thunder.
Ming Ling let go of the fishing rod, clasped his hands together, and the evil god behind him grew bigger, as if he had the ability to hold up the sky. He used his body to block the large number of black birds, and opened his six arms to grab the thunder rushing towards the sky.
Feng Jingluo said again,
"Thousand Blades."
The black bird split into thousands of pieces and stabbed them densely into the evil god's body, turning him into a hedgehog.
"Giant."
The sword energy condensed above the evil god statue, transforming into a sword shadow as huge as a mountain, with the tip of the sword pointing at the evil god's eyebrows.
Ming Ling, who was protected among them, had beads of sweat on his forehead. He did not feel any leaked spiritual energy from Feng Jingluo, and could not guess the other party's realm. Could it be that he met an old demon who had taken over his body?
"Shenxiao."
A bolt of lightning streaked across the sky, flew down from the sky like a snake, and coiled around the shadow of the giant sword.
"fall!"
