Thunder Sword City.
Castle lord's castle.
A burly man stood on a tower several dozen feet above the ground, looking up at the huge scroll in the air, and muttered:
"That demon sect witch Xia Qinglian is really dead."
This sturdy man has a leopard head and round eyes, a pair of thick eyebrows slanting into his temples, and a huge sword on his back. The scabbard is surrounded by lightning and the sound is like thunder.
Su Longxiang, the current head of Leijian City.
He ranks seventh on the Flying Immortals List and is one of the people with the greatest hope of ascending to heaven in the world.
Among the three major sects in Dongxiu, Zhenyang Sect is the most powerful, Feiyun Sect is second, and Leijian Sect is the last.
But in terms of the personal strength of the leader, Su Longxiang is firmly in first place.
The Thunder Sword on his back was left behind by the founder of Thunder Sword City when he ascended to heaven. It can control the nine-day thunder and is extremely powerful.
Su Longxiang also participated in the battle to besiege the Qinglian Sect. At that time, he fought with the Saint of the Demon Sect. He used the most powerful Nine Heavens Thunder Controlling Art, but he was unable to do anything about the opponent's Mysterious Ice Fire.
Even his daughter, Su Hongling, the most talented junior sister in Lei Jiancheng, was penetrated by Xia Qinglian's Mysterious Ice Fire and suffered serious injuries that took a long time to heal. Her cultivation level plummeted and her consciousness was damaged.
This caused the brain, which originally only knew how to practice and fight, to become even more confused, and sometimes even the people and things it had met would be forgotten.
Therefore, Su Longxiang was deeply impressed by Xia Qinglian and was extremely wary of him.
Su Longxiang has always been wondering whether Xia Qinglian is really dead.
Seeing that Xia Qinglian's name, which was originally ranked second on the "Beauty List", disappeared and was replaced by a female cultivator named Qiu Zhihe, Su Longxiang finally felt relieved.
Feixian Pavilion never cheats.
Since Xia Qinglian's name is no longer on the "Beauty List", it means that she is really dead.
"Haha, wow, that witch is really dead! Oh my god, I can finally breathe a sigh of relief!"
Su Longxiang was so happy that the burly man actually jumped up on the spot like a childish child.
"Master, Master!"
At this time, a young man who was as rough as Su Longxiang ran over and said excitedly:
"Look at the beauty list. That demon sect witch has been removed from the list!"
Su Longxiang immediately put his hands behind his back, looking calm and composed:
"Why are you making such a fuss? Minghu, if you can't be more steady, when will Hongling accept you?"
This man's name is Minghu. He is Su Longxiang's eldest disciple and also his designated son-in-law.
It’s just that his daughter Su Hongling has never liked this senior brother, and has often quarreled with Su Longxiang about this. The most recent quarrel between the father and daughter was even more fierce.
Su Hongling lost her temper and broke all her magic swords, took a treasure from Leijian City and ran away, and has not returned since.
Ming Hu scratched his head and smiled innocently: "Master, Junior Sister must like me. She is just too shy to come back."
Su Longxiang's mouth twitched: "You slap me in the face for no reason and call it love?"
Minghu chuckled and said, "Master, you don't understand. Beating is love and scolding is care. Junior Sister loves me to the bone."
“…”
Su Longxiang didn't want to continue this topic, so he pointed at the beauty list in the air and asked:
"Who is this Qiu Zhihe? How did she suddenly replace Xia Qinglian and rank second on the beauty list?"
Ming Hu said honestly: "Master, why are you asking this? Do you want to find a stepmother for your junior sister?"
Veins popped up on Su Longxiang's forehead. He resisted the urge to slap him in the face and said:
"This Qiu Zhihe is unknown, yet he is able to outshine Ye Xiyue and Hong Ling. There must be something fishy going on. Send someone to investigate this person immediately."
"yes!"
Minghu bowed in response, and Su Longxiang asked again:
"Have you found out where Hongling is?"
Minghu said: "Master, one of our disciples saw Junior Sister in Xingluo Town in the north."
"Xingluo Town?" Su Longxiang asked hurriedly, "She is alone? Is the treasure of my Thunder Sword City still there?"
"Master, don't worry. The treasure has always been in Junior Sister's hands. The disciple only caught a glimpse and didn't dare to follow. He only saw Junior Sister and a few others entering the Northern Wilderness."
"Northern Wasteland?"
…
"Hey, Qiu Zhihe, every time you kill those beasts by yourself, you don't even leave one for me!"
"You always hammer your prey to pieces, so you can't cook."
"But I'm so bored! There's not a single powerful character in Luoxianlin. It's not fun at all!"
"Xiaochui, if you are bored, you can go back first."
"Call me Hammer Fairy! I won't leave until I find your man's master!"
In Luoxianlin, a rather dangerous jungle, a man and four women were walking forward.
Two petite women walked in front. One of them was cool and dignified, dragging the corpse of a huge ghost wolf in her hand. The other one had two ponytails, was lively and cute, and carried a big hammer on her shoulder.
The hammer girl was quite noisy and kept saying that she was bored, while the cold woman spoke to her in a disjointed manner, as if she was just trying to please a child.
The three people following behind him had complicated expressions, especially Si Minglan. Looking at the front, Qiu Zhihe and Hammer Girl strolling leisurely in the dangerous Luoxian Forest as if they were strolling in their own back garden, she couldn't help but shake her head and smile bitterly.
The group had been in Luoxianlin for three days. When they first came in, Si Minglan gave them very serious instructions and emphasized the various dangers in Luoxianlin.
Miasma, ferocious beasts, any one of them can be fatal.
She had participated in the sect's Northern Wilderness Trials several times, and many of the ambitious disciples were eliminated in the Luoxian Forest.
Therefore, Si Minglan is well aware of the horror of this.
This time she had escaped from Zhenyang Sect in a hurry again. She didn't bring any elixirs or magic weapons with her, and she was indeed a little afraid of the Luoxian Forest.
Unexpectedly, Qin Gengyun immediately took out a bunch of Qingfeng Powder and asked several people to take it. The terrible miasma could not infect them at all.
Si Minglan then remembered that the pills refined by Qin Gengyun were all high-grade products. Even the lowest-grade Qingfeng Powder among the first-grade pills could completely resist the miasma in Luoxian Forest.
It’s even more effective than the second-grade Qingfeng Pill!
Along the way, the five people also met many monks who were going to the Northern Wilderness to explore for treasures. Each of them was fully armed. Not only did they take elixirs, but they also covered their mouths and noses. Even so, they still had difficulty moving.
Their eyes almost popped out when they suddenly saw them walking on flat ground in the miasma.
So the group easily moved among the teams of treasure-hunting monks who were struggling to move forward, which seemed quite strange.
That's it.
The miasma is only the first test in Luoxian Forest; the truly terrifying thing is the ferocious beasts.
There is a saying circulating among the monks in the treasure hunting team: In the Northern Wilderness, even a rabbit will eat people.
Even if many treasure hunting teams overcome the trouble of miasma, they still cannot get past the ferocious beasts.
Si Minglan had made all kinds of preparations to fight against ferocious beasts, but she soon discovered that she had not encountered any ferocious beasts along the way.
To be precise, those ferocious beasts in the northern wilderness would take the initiative to take a detour when they encounter them!
They walked in Luoxian Forest for three days and had smooth sailing.
This made Si Minglan's previous sincere advice ridiculous.
What's even more ridiculous is that the ferocious beast didn't come to find them, but Qiu Zhihe and Hammer Girl took the initiative to find the ferocious beast.
The hammer girl was bored. As for Qiu Zhihe, when Si Minglan asked her why, she replied:
"There are delicious foods all over the Northern Wasteland. Let's get more so my husband can taste them."
