Zhou Jingxuan also found a figure outside the valley, and she shouted coldly: "Since you are here, why hide your head and tail?"
Outside the valley, three figures wearing monk's robes walked out of the dark forest. They were all burly and walked into the valley with smiles.
"Who are you?" Hong Zhan drew his long sword guardly.
The three of them didn't seem to care about Hong Zhan at all, their eyes all looked at Zhou Jingxuan, and then they clasped their hands together and said: "Amitabha, the poor monk quit greed/hatred/abstain from foolishness, and I have seen Monk Zhou Jingxuan."
These days, Hong Zhan also knows that immortal cultivators are often referred to as "monks" among themselves. These three monks hide their heads and tails, I am afraid that the visitor is not good.
Zhou Jingxuan said coldly: "Disciples of the precept generation of Tianlong Temple? You are all in the True Sea Realm?"
"Exactly." The leader Jie laughed.
"How do you know I'm here?" Zhou Jingxuan asked in a deep voice.
"More than ten days ago, a big mountain collapsed, I waited not far away, and when we arrived, I happened to see the little monks digging you out of the ruins." Greed Jie explained.
Hong Zhan and Zhou Jingxuan both tightened their hearts, which means that this group of monks had already set their sights on them, followed them to this valley, and had been monitoring them outside the valley for more than ten days?
Zhou Jingxuan stood up straight and said coldly: "Since you know me, you should know my methods, do you want to do it with me?"
Hong Zhan instantly understood and looked down on the monks, as if Zhou Jingxuan had returned to his peak, and as long as he made a slight move, he could kill the monks.
Jie greedily smiled and said: "You don't have to deceive us, haven't you been poisoned by the five demons? How did you do it?"
"Do you want to die?" A murderous intent flashed in Zhou Jingxuan's eyes.
"No need to pretend, we have already interrogated several Pingnan Sect disciples these days, otherwise how could we show up? You should be glad that we found you first, if they found you first, they wouldn't have told you so much." Quit greed said.
Zhou Jingxuan's heart tightened, knowing that she couldn't hide it, she said in a deep voice: "What do you want to do?"
"Please do me a favor." Quit greed said.
"Oh?" Zhou Jingxuan frowned.
"Your body is poisoned and powerless, but your soul should be almost restored, I would like to ask you to help us get something." Quit greed said.
Zhou Jingxuan's expression was slightly condensed, and then she seemed to think of something, and asked in a deep voice: "Have you found the spiritual treasure left by the demon emperor?"
Jie Greed's face darkened, but he quickly calmed down and said with a smile: "Others say that you are very wise, and you really live up to your reputation."
Zhou Jingxuan immediately shook her head and said: "Every spiritual treasure on the island is guarded by the demon king, I can't help you."
"Don't worry, that demon king has been lured away by the master. The next thing is not difficult for you." Quit greed said.
Zhou Jingxuan stared at Jie Greed and said: "What if I don't agree?"
Jie greed glanced at Hong Zhan and said with a smile: "I heard that you have clear grievances and never like to owe favors to others, and you don't want the person who saved your life to die in front of you, right?"
Hong Zhan's face was gloomy, this group of monks wanted to threaten Zhou Jingxuan with his life? It's really shameless.
Zhou Jingxuan suddenly turned red with anger, but she was stubborn and said to Hong Zhan: "I will stop them, you go quickly."
Jie Anger and Jie Zhi stared at Hong Zhan coldly, as if as long as Hong Zhan moved, he would take action immediately.
Hong Zhan understood that Zhou Jingxuan wanted to use his soul power to help him hold back the three monks for a while, but it was obvious that the three monks would not give him a chance. It was not easy to get out of trouble from the three True Sea Realm powerhouses.
Jie greed also smiled and said: "He can't leave. Moreover, in order to help you, we naturally have to prepare more people."
Zhou Jingxuan suddenly had a bad premonition, and said in a deep voice: "What did you say?"
At this moment, more than twenty monks came to the valley, each carrying a man covered in blood, who was Hong Zhan's subordinates.
"You ......" Zhou Jingxuan said angrily.
Hong Zhan's face also darkened, his subordinates were actually served in one pot?
With a bang, a group of Hong Zhan's subordinates covered in blood were thrown to the ground, all of them were seriously injured, with multiple stab wounds on their bodies, but fortunately, they were still alive.
"Young master, I am incompetent."
"Young master, we have been attacked by a sneak attack, and we can't even run away to report the news."
"They are all in the middle and late stages of the innate realm, and we are not opponents at all."
……
The subordinates of Hongzhan said sadly.
The anger on Hong Zhan's face was faint, but he still endured it and turned his head to look at the three monks at the top of the mountain coldly.
Jie greedy smiled and said: "Monk Zhou, you don't want your benefactors to die because of you, do you?"
A group of monks held ring knives in their hands and pointed at Hong Zhan and his party, as if as long as Zhou Jingxuan did not agree, they would immediately kill them.
"The disciples of Tianlong Temple boast of being compassionate, are you killing innocents indiscriminately?" Zhou Jingxuan said angrily.
Jie greedy said disapprovingly: "We can still bear this little bit of sin. Of course, whether they die or not is mainly up to you."
Zhou Jingxuan's face was ugly for a while, and she looked at it resentfully for a while, before she took a deep breath and said, "Let them go, I'll go with you."
Jie greedy shook his head and said: "This is not good, they are in my hands, you can be obedient, I don't want any accidents."
"You!" Zhou Jingxuan said angrily.
"Don't worry, we don't want to kill either. Everything depends on your attitude, as long as you help us get the spiritual treasure, I promise you that I will let you go at that time." Jie laughed.
Zhou Jingxuan stared at Jie Greed, she didn't believe in Jie Greed's words at all, but at this moment, she couldn't resist at all. She looked at Hong Zhan with a wry smile and said, "I'm sorry, I've hurt you."
Hong Zhan shook his head and said: "Fairy Zhou doesn't have to blame yourself, we don't blame you. Since Jie greed said that if he takes the spiritual treasure, he will let us go, let's believe it once."
He gave Zhou Jingxuan a calm look, at this moment, he was in a hurry, he had no preparation, he could only be controlled by others, fight for favorable conditions first, and then wait for the times to change.
Zhou Jingxuan sighed slightly, and finally nodded.
Jie Greed guessed Hong Zhan's plan at a glance, but he was extremely confident in his strength, so he just smiled disdainfully and said, "That's right, next, hand over your storage magic weapon to us for safekeeping."
"Impossible!" Zhou Jingxuan's eyes were cold.
"I can not seal your cultivation, but you should always give me a little sincerity, what if there is something in your storage magic weapon that threatens us? Of course, I will return it to you when it is done." Quit greed said.
"You are dreaming." Zhou Jingxuan said coldly, and then said: "If you blindly force people too much, the big deal will be that the fish dies and the net will break, otherwise, you can try."
She understood that if everything was handed over to Qu greed, they would have no hope.
He didn't want to be planted in Zhou Jingxuan's hands, but he urgently needed Zhou Jingxuan's cooperation and didn't want to talk about breaking down.
"Let's do this, other people's storage magic weapons need to be checked by us before returning them. However, your storage bracelet must be temporarily stored with me." Jie greedy said in a resolute tone.
This is his final bottom line, he knows that Zhou Jingxuan has a strong personality, if he doesn't give Zhou Jingxuan some hope, Zhou Jingxuan will definitely die and will never cooperate.
Zhou Jingxuan's face was cloudy and uncertain, and she didn't know what to do for a while. But at this moment, Hong Zhan took out a storage bag from his arms, threw it over, and said in a cold voice: "You injured my brother, do you want to give an explanation?"
Jie Hao took Hong Zhan's storage bag, checked it for a while, and nodded to Jie Greed, saying that there was no dangerous magic weapon.
Jie greed then said: "The injuries on their bodies are not fatal and will heal soon. We won't be short of their storage bags."
At this time, Jie Anger threw Hong Zhan's storage bag back, and at the same time, threw out three more storage bags, which were the storage bags given by Hong Zhan to his subordinates for use.
Hong Zhan glared at the monks, but did not refute, as if he was holding back his anger.
The monks didn't know that Hong Zhan's angry face was just paralyzing them, because Hong Zhan had more than one storage bag on his body, and the only thing he checked for the monks was the safest storage bag.
The monks thought that everything was under control, so they all looked at Zhou Jingxuan instead.
Zhou Jingxuan wanted to refuse, but Hong Zhan was so cooperative, he couldn't really turn his face and let Hong Zhan and his party die immediately, right?
She could only helplessly take off the storage bracelet and handed it out: "I hope you do what you say."
Taking the storage bracelet, Jie greed immediately smiled and said: "Don't worry, I will naturally speak and count. Let you pack up and set off in half an hour."
"Hmph!" Zhou Jingxuan snorted helplessly.
Hong Zhan quickly took out some herbs and applied them to his subordinates, and after half an hour of cultivation, although he did not make everyone's injuries heal, he was barely able to help each other walk.
Half an hour later, a group of monks were in an encircled form, escorting Zhou Jingxuan and Hong Zhan, and slowly walked into the dense forest.
On the way, he encountered some monsters and passers-by, but under the actions of the monks, there were no dangers along the way.
After walking for a few days, everyone walked to a wide river, which was surging and rushing. There is a misty mountain by the river, which looks hazy and extremely mysterious.
"It's here, it's on this mountain." Quit greed said.
At this time, more than ten monks jumped out of the forest, and when they saw Jie Greed and others returning, they showed up to salute and report the situation here.
Knowing that there was nothing unusual here recently, Jie Tan took everyone up the mountain together, and at the cliff on the mountain, there was a huge cave, and Jie Tan left only two disciples to keep an eye on it, so he took everyone into it.
The cave was extremely dark, and I could vaguely see an altar full of runes in the depths of the cave, with a knife inserted in the center of the altar, revealing only a knife handle.
The moment everyone saw the hilt of the knife, their hearts trembled suddenly.
"Young master, that knife makes my scalp tingle, and I feel like I want to run away."
"I felt the knife hanging over my head, and my legs went weak."
"For the first time, I knew that looking at a knife would give me a terrifying sense of fear."
……
Hong Zhan's subordinates were better off from their injuries, but they still had difficulty moving, constantly describing their fear at the moment.
Hong Zhan did not feel strong discomfort, and even, he had an inexplicable sense of closeness, what is going on?
Zhou Jingxuan frowned and said: "Murderous intent is sky-high? What a powerful knife!"
Jie greedy nodded and said: "The spiritual treasure is this knife, and the altar formation triggers its own soul-suppressing killing intent. The further we go inside, the heavier the soul-suppressing killing intent becomes, our soul power is not enough, we can't stop this soul-suppressing killing intent, we can't get close to it, next, we need you to help us pull it out, when it leaves the altar, the soul-suppressing killing intent will be restrained."
Zhou Jingxuan asked: "Since it is an altar issue, wouldn't it be better not to get close? With ropes and swordsmanship, can't you pull out this sword? Or, you can destroy the altar."
Jie greedy shook his head and said: "If it's so simple, why do you need to take action? If a person does not personally walk up to the altar and draw his sword, any foreign object approaches, the altar will immediately bite back and attack. So, I can only trouble you."
Zhou Jingxuan frowned and thought.
Hong Zhan looked around the cave and suddenly had an idea, he had been looking for an opportunity to fight back along the way, and at this moment, he finally found it.
Hong Zhan immediately said to Zhou Jingxuan: "I think they must be hiding it, maybe they are deliberately luring you to death."
The monks' faces darkened and they looked at Hong Zhan coldly.
Hong Zhan grabbed Zhou Jingxuan's hand and said: "Fairy Zhou, there is something wrong with this knife, you can't go to death. You use your soul power to deter them, and we break out. There is a rushing river at the foot of the mountain, I will take you to jump down together, or there may be a chance to escape."
"Presumptuous!" The monks quickly blocked the cave entrance, pulled out their knives, and pointed at Hong Zhan and shouted angrily.
Zhou Jingxuan was suddenly held by the man's hand, and she was caught off guard for a while, and instinctively wanted to shake off Hong Zhan's hand in embarrassment, but the next moment, she felt something extra in her palm, which Hong Zhan deliberately secretly stuffed into her?
She understood, and when she pushed away Hong Zhan's hand, she clenched the thing in her palm and said: "My soul power can't deter all of them, we can't leave, it's come to this point, we can't regret it anymore."
Immediately afterwards, she said to Jie Greed: "I hope you will speak well, and when I pull out this knife, let me go."
Jie greed immediately pretended to smile and said: "Don't worry, I will do what I say."
Zhou Jingxuan nodded, and then comforted Hong Zhan: "Wait for me."
"Alas!" Hong Zhan sighed helplessly.
At the same time, he gave Zhou Jingxuan an affirmative look, as if to tell Zhou Jingxuan that he had a way to break the game, as long as Zhou Jingxuan cooperated properly, he could be the main guest.
