"Master, how long have I been in closed-door training this time?"
"Soon, it will only be ten days."
"More than ten days?" I was shocked. What about the trip to the Sky Sect? However, when I turned my head to see Pu Xuanfeng's calm expression, I knew that I had been worrying too much.
The date stated in the invitation for the Sky Sect has already passed three days, but I know how they are doing, it will be at least four more days before the official selection ceremony. Don't worry, we will set off tomorrow.
The distance between the White Jade Sect and the Sky Sect isn't that far. When Bi Feng was moving at that speed, it took him three days because his cultivation was too low and he couldn't keep up with it. Now that I'm with a group of elders and several top inner disciples, I naturally need to display the utmost of my speed. A few disciples began to compete with each other, and those elders naturally saw this, but they did not say anything. It was obvious that they were silently approving this kind of peaceful competition.
Other than Pu Xuan, the other few Elders were Qi He, Chang Yun, and another Elder Bai who did not know of their Dao's name. Elder Bai was a bit strange. He didn't say anything along the way, and even his expression didn't change. His entire body was emitting an ice-cold and chilly aura. Pu Xuan and the other two naturally distanced themselves from him. It was unknown if it was because they were unwilling to travel with him, or because they were afraid of approaching him.
Other than me, there were three other disciples. Two of them were the leaders of the Baiyu Sect, Tian Yu, Guangliang, and one of them was a weak-looking girl called You Menglan.
Tian Yu gnashed his teeth at me all the way, as if I made him lower his rank in the inner court. He even has such a strong sense of honor, so this person is useless.
On the contrary, Guang Liang was extremely calm, calm, and indifferent. His coldness reminded me of a person I used to know in the Sky Sect, Fu Xi. Actually, no one knew about Guang Liang's strength. According to Chen Ziming's memories, he had never fought with anyone before, but he had said before, in a match, there would be a loser's win, and a loser's win, and that was life and death!
Even the Sect Leader highly valued him, so no one doubted his strength. No one was willing to fight him, and his position as first place was exceptionally stable. However, as time passed, everyone forgot how terrifying he was. The match between Zhang Wen He and I allowed everyone to see our true strength. Thus, we naturally ignored him.
Wandering Dream Orchid. Chen Ziming did not have much of an impression of this person in his memories, he had only vaguely heard of this person's name, and said that she was extremely strong in the White Jade Sect, and just happened to be in front of Chen Ziming. However, she had been cultivating in seclusion all year round, so it was hard to see her figure, and no one knew how strong she was.
I don't know how strong these people are, but they are all very powerful characters. It seems that the White Jade Sect really wants to stir up some trouble in the Sky Sect. Why did I happen to meet him? I don't understand, maybe I, or rather Chen Ziming, is the key chess piece.
The whole journey was very calm, as if they had a tacit understanding of each other. No one spoke, and they only flew in silence. When I passed by a small town, I suddenly felt that the atmosphere wasn't right. There was a kind of familiar atmosphere, as if there was something evil. This was a kind of feeling that came without reason. Glancing at Pu Xuan and the rest, I saw that there was nothing unusual about them, as if they did not sense anything unusual. Perhaps this was just my misconception.
"Master!" After pondering for a moment, I still spoke up softly.
"Hmm?" Puxuan turned to look at me.
"Master, I want to take a look around. I have a few days, I'll be there on time."
Pu Xuan opened his mouth, but only glanced at Elder Bai for a moment. Seeing that Elder Bai acted as if he didn't hear him, he nodded and said: "Then go. Remember, you must be there on time.
"En!" I nodded emphatically, spun, and fell.
I didn't tell Pu Xuan that my spiritual pill was the size of a fist, I only told him that it was only a little bigger than an egg, because Chen Ziming's talent was indeed not that high. However, Pu Xuan could only see how much spirit energy I had. With my Great Deception, it was hard for him to determine my true strength. There are only two possibilities for finding out about my true talent. One is to doubt it, but not to find out the truth. The other is to protect it.
That's not right, if Chen Ziming is really the key chess piece, then how could they let me leave so easily, aren't they afraid of some accident? Or could it be that Chen Ziming wasn't even that important, he was just a tool to provoke conflict. Do you want to, I won't appear and take a look .. No, if that's the case, then my plan will never work. Three days. There are still three days. If nothing unexpected happens, I will definitely arrive.
When I landed on the ground, I realized that this place was truly abnormal. Looking around, the whole town was very desolate and was closed to the public. The streets were covered in dust and debris, as if it had not been cleaned in a long time. However, the most abnormal thing was that there was a Taoist priest in the middle of the street. He was dressed in Eight Trigrams Tai Chi and his peach wood sword was dancing very noisily. It seemed like he was trying to catch a ghost. The spiritual energy within this cultivator's body was scattered and not much. At the very most, half of the Spirit Opening Realm cultivators didn't know what was going on.
I walked forward and asked, "Can I ask you, Taoist, are there ghosts here?"
The Daoist Priest was startled and turned around. It was an old Daoist cultivator in his seventies and eighties.
"Young man, do you know where we are?"
I shook my head. "I really don't know. Please tell me."
The Daoist stopped what he was doing and looked at me. After a long while, he slowly said, "I can see that you are full of spirit. Your breathing is steady and powerful. You are definitely not a monster. Alright, I'll tell you then, this place is called Sand Wind Town. A long time ago, rumors say that there was a monster causing trouble, that it devoured people's heart and ate their brain. Look, this place used to be bustling, but now .. I have three disciples who all lost their lives trying to catch this demon. I am already old, and my life is not far off, but if I can kill this demon and avenge my disciple, what harm would it be if this old bone ends up dying here! "
Seeing how determined the old Daoist was, my heart wavered a bit. No wonder I felt a familiar aura. I've experienced it on the Immortal Demon Battlefield, since I met it here, I wouldn't allow it to run rampant.
"Dao leader, then I will kill this demon together with you to console your disciple's spirit in heaven!"
When the old Daoist heard this, he hesitated for a moment before looking at me and nodding his head.
"Little brother, how did you get here?"
"I felt that this place was a bit strange, so I came here out of curiosity."
"Oh?" The old Daoist looked at me in surprise. "Ordinary people wouldn't be able to sense it. It seems like you, little brother, are no ordinary person."
I smiled. "Then why do I have such a strange feeling here?"
"Demons aren't humans, so their auras are different from humans'. When the demons reach a certain level, they will release their auras and change the auras of their surroundings. This is the so-called demonic aura. When powerful monsters appear, their entire body will emit a strong aura. That aura can even be seen with the naked eye. However, normally, these types of demons will not appear here. "
"You actually know so much, Daoist Priest? It seems you weren't ordinary when you were young."
"Hehe, when this old Daoist was young, he traveled the world with his master. He caught countless demons, so he naturally knows many of them."
I smiled and nodded. "Then, what kind of demon is this Wind Sand Town's demon?"
The old Daoist has never seen him before, so he naturally doesn't know about him.
After the old Daoist said this, he brandished the peach wood sword once again, and charms and charms rained down from the sky.
Looking at the old Daoist's cautious actions, I felt that it was a bit funny.
After a long while, the old Daoist Priest let out a loud shout and a talisman instantly flew out and stopped in the air. The old Daoist said a few words and waved his wooden sword. From where the amulet was located, a mournful scream came out and slowly took the form of a wolf-like beast. "This beast was half a meter tall and two meters long. Its blood-red eyes stared at us hatefully.
"Evil creature, return my disciple's life!"
When the old Daoist saw the demonic beast, he let out a bellow, waved his peach wood sword, and charged forward. I didn't do anything, just stood there watching, teasing and disdainful.
Although the old Daoist Priest was very old, he was not weak at all. When he swung his wooden sword, it was as tough as an iron sword. After a long time, the old Daoist Priest breathed heavily and stabbed his sword into the demonic beast's throat, killing it here.
The old Taoist looked at me with a trace of a smile on his pale face.
"Come out, the demonic beasts have all been killed by me." When the people saw the corpses of the demonic beasts, they either cried or laughed at the sky. Some of them even ran up to the corpses and began to beat them up with their fists and kicks. For a time, the entire scene was a bit chaotic.
I smiled as I walked forward and pulled the old Taoist by the arm. "Taoist, since the Demonic Beast has died and we have already taken our revenge, let's go."
"This .." The old Daoist was a bit dazed. After a moment, he hurriedly said, "Little brother, don't bother with my old bones. This fellow is not weak. It took a lot of effort for me to get rid of him. Just let me have a good rest."
Some people around also came up and kowtowed, "Many thanks for Taoist Priest's help. The people of Windy Sand Town are all grateful. I hope Taoist Priest can come over to my house to take a rest. I'll prepare some food and wine and thank you very much .."
"I have no choice!" The old Daoist hurriedly waved his hand. "I will leave after a short rest. You don't need to worry about me. In the future, if there are no more monsters to harm others, you can live a good life."
"That's right, you can't take it anymore. You should leave as soon as possible." I smiled at the man.
That person still insisted on persuading me. I frowned, "We will disperse immediately!"
This voice had some spiritual energy to it, and the ordinary people were so shocked that their ears were ringing and their eyes were blurry. Instantly, all the crying and laughter disappeared. One by one, they looked at me in shock and disappeared without a trace.
"Has Taoist-sir rested enough?"
The old Daoist looked into my eyes and stood up after a moment. He patted the dirt off his body and moved it to a spot a few dozen feet away from me.
"How did you find out?"
I touched the blade in my hand. "Even though your demonic energy was concealed extremely well, there was still a trace of greed in your eyes when you looked at me. Also, how can you subdue demons without any spiritual energy?" The demonic aura here was violent, although it had dissipated by a lot, but there was still a lot left behind. It was impossible for a mere demonic beast to have such a strong aura, and the only one with this aura was you, who had not completely hidden your aura! This Demon is not that Demon Beast at all, but rather, you! "
When the old Daoist heard this, he heaved a sigh of relief and raised his head to look at me, his eyes extremely calm. "Originally, I felt a powerful aura pass by from above, so I decided to disguise myself and avoid this calamity. I didn't expect you to be so nosy and dare to come here alone.
