When the two approached the thunder and landed, the thunder had already stopped. Even, the dark clouds in the sky dispersed eerily.
"The sea of clouds covering the sky seems to have changed." Zhou Jingxuan looked at the sky that had recovered as before and said solemnly.
"The lightning strike has stopped, but the movement in the valley ahead is still there, and there is a battle over there." Hong Zhan said.
The two slowed down and quietly approached the valley ahead, they found that there were many monks gathered around, and even some monks seemed to have been lurking in the dark for a long time, observing the valley ahead.
The two looked at each other, did not contact anyone, found an uninhabited halfway up the mountain, and looked at the valley below.
But I saw a pool of water in the valley, surrounded by countless broken swords, and the ground was scorched black, as if it had been scorched by thunder. Not far away, there was a golden barrier, but nearly a hundred monks were lining up with spirit stones and robes, and another hundred monks were surrounding them, protecting them.
In the golden light barrier, countless golden stick shadows were blasting towards a small white barrier, and several people seemed to be struggling in the white barrier.
"Disciple of Tianlong Temple? Cassock Demon Formation? They are also there?" Zhou Jingxuan's eyes narrowed slightly.
Hong Zhan also saw three old acquaintances in this group of monks, quitting greed, abstaining from hatred, and quitting ignorance.
"You wait here for a while, I'll ask about the situation." Hong Zhan said.
As he spoke, he walked towards a grass not far away, where several monks were hiding.
When several monks saw Hong Zhan coming, their faces changed, they nervously raised their swords to guard, and even showed a fierce face, refusing people thousands of miles away.
Hong Zhan turned his hand and took out a spirit stone, handed it to the leader, and said: "I only inquire about some news, this spirit stone is considered a cost."
The monk was stunned, such a big spirit stone, just ask for a message? Is it really fake? It can't be a trap, right?
Seeing that he was silent, Hong Zhan immediately said: "Oh, understand, one spirit stone is not enough for you to share."
Saying that, he handed out a few more spirit stones.
The monks looked strange, did they meet the wronged boss? Spirit stone, just to ask for some news?
Seeing that everyone looked dumb, Hong Zhan sighed and said: "If you don't want to trade, just let it go. I'll ask someone else."
With a whoosh, several monks hurriedly snatched the spirit stone, and a smile suddenly piled up on their guarded faces. They were just stunned by happiness for a while, not really stupid. With such a good thing, who doesn't want it?
"This fellow Taoist, what do you want to know?" The monk at the head said with a smile.
When Hong Zhan saw everyone's expressions, he understood that he had tipped too much. However, he didn't care either, because he wanted to ask the news he wanted in the shortest possible time.
"What's going on in this valley?" Hong Zhan asked.
"You can ask the right person, we have been watching here since the beginning." The leading monk said.
"Oh?"
"The pool over there is a formation eye, with a demon king sitting in it. Tianlong Temple gathered many disciples, ready to snatch the spiritual treasure in the eyes of the formation, but they were preempted by the five sword cultivators of the Bashan Sword Sect.
The disciples of Tianlong Temple sat and watched the tiger fight, wanting the five sword cultivators to consume the power of the demon king first, who would have thought that these five sword cultivators had arranged an extremely strong sword formation, and at the cost of dying together, they actually severely damaged the demon king, beat the demon king away, and even seized the spiritual treasure here.
The disciples of Tianlong Temple naturally did not want to stop there, and the leading Zen Master Lingzhi led a group of monks to chase the injured demon king, but the other disciples of Tianlong Temple set up a formation to trap these five sword cultivators, trying to snatch the spiritual treasure.
These five sword cultivators barely formed a new formation, their power was not as strong as before, and they were in a state of collapse, so they probably wouldn't last long." The leader monk said.
"Thank you!" Hong Zhan nodded and retreated.
Hong Zhan did not go back, but took the spirit stone and found another group of monks to inquire about the situation to prevent being deceived.
The few monks just now had flashes in their eyes.
"Who is he, so many spirit stones? Do you want to grab him a vote?" One of the monks had a look of greed in his eyes.
"Shut up!" The leading monk shouted in a low voice.
"What's wrong?" Everyone was puzzled.
"Are you blind? Look who that is?" The leader monk said.
But seeing that Hong Zhan asked about the situation again, after making sure it was correct, he went to meet Zhou Jingxuan.
"Zhou Jingxuan? hiss~"
Several monks gasped, and some people immediately gave up the idea of robbery, but there were also iron-headed monks whose eyes still flashed with greed.
At this moment, Hong Zhan informed Zhou Jingxuan of the situation he had inquired about.
"Bashan Sword Sect? Who is the leader? Why don't I know you?" Zhou Jingxuan frowned and looked into the distance.
However, they saw the five trapped sword cultivators, four of whom were activating the sword-shaped jade talisman, forming a white barrier to resist the outside world's cassock, their white barrier cracks were everywhere, it seemed that they would not last long, they struggled, surrounding a young man in white in the center, as if led by the boy in white.
The young man in white held a long sword emitting black gas in his hand, sitting cross-legged, as if in meditation.
"That long sword is the spiritual treasure you just gotten, right? What is he doing?" Hong Zhan said solemnly.
"He is communicating with that sword, just like you communicate with the God Slayer Knife." Zhou Jingxuan said.
"Is it to learn swordsmanship at the last minute? At this time, learn peerless swordsmanship from the sword spirit?" Hong Zhan wondered.
"I don't know." Zhou Jingxuan said absentmindedly.
Hong Zhan noticed Zhou Jingxuan's absent-mindedness and asked with a smile: "Do you have any thoughts?"
"What do you mean?" Zhou Jingxuan asked.
"I can already see it, you want to do it." Hong Zhan said.
Zhou Jingxuan's face changed, and then she smiled bitterly: "My storage bracelet is in the hands of Jie Greed, and there are things that are extremely important to me, and I want to get it back."
"Then what are you waiting for, let's do it." Hong Zhan said.
"You evacuate first, I will take back the storage bracelet and come to join you." Zhou Jingxuan said seriously.
"Don't worry about my safety, I'll go with you." Hong Zhan said.
"Can ......" Zhou Jingxuan was still worried.
"My cultivation has improved, there is no problem in protecting myself, if I can't beat it, I will run away, they can't stop me. If you do it, you deal with the strongest, and I will help you cut off the miscellaneous soldiers who get in the way." Hong Zhan said.
Seeing Hong Zhan's resolute attitude, Zhou Jingxuan finally nodded and said: "Okay!"
"Let's go!" Hong Zhan said.
The two no longer hid it and jumped into the valley.
At this time, a monk shouted: "Didn't you hear what we just said? Tianlong Temple is doing business, and those who dare to go to the former are enemies of my Tianlong Temple, do you want to die?"
Countless monks secretly cast surprised glances, obviously, no one expected that anyone would dare to touch the mold of the Heavenly Dragon Temple at this time.
"Don't you know me?" Zhou Jingxuan said coldly.
In an instant, many monks looked over.
"Is it Zhou Jingxuan of Pingnan Sect? You, why are you here?" A monk exclaimed.
"Zhou Jingxuan, the well water of Tianlong Temple and the Southern Sect does not violate the river water, do you want the two sects to fight each other?" Another monk said in a deep voice.
Obviously, the internal strife of the Pingnan Sect during this period is no longer a big secret, and at this moment, the relationship between the two sects cannot suppress Zhou Jingxuan.
Zhou Jingxuan ignored the shouts of the monks, but looked directly at one of the monks and said, "Quit greed, where is my storage bracelet?"
With a brush, all the monks and the lurking monks looked at Jie Greed.
The moment Jie greedy saw the two of them, his eyes spewed fire, in the last battle, not only destroyed his relics, killed a large number of disciples, but also lost the god slaughter knife.
He recognized the God Slayer Knife in Hong Zhan's hand at a glance, and he wanted to take it back, but in full view, he still held back his shouting, he didn't want outsiders to know that it was the God Slayer Knife. He didn't tell anyone about the secret of the defeat in taking the God Slayer Knife that day, not even the brothers, he wanted to swallow the God Slayer Knife alone.
"Quit greed, didn't you hear my words? Give me back my storage bracelet." Zhou Jingxuan pulled out her long sword and said with a cold face.
Jie Greed's face changed, and then he realized that Zhou Jingxuan dared to show up, and he might no longer be affected by the five demons and strange poisons.
He immediately said: "I have handed over your storage bracelet to the tutor and is not in my hands."
"Oh?" Zhou Jingxuan said coldly.
"Otherwise, you wait here for a while, and the master will be back soon. At that time, I will ask the family master to return the storage bracelet to you, and talk about how to compensate for the previous grievances?" Quit greed said.
Zhou Jingxuan frowned and thought, she was analyzing whether the storage bracelet was in the hands of the abstinence of greed.
Hong Zhan didn't care whether what Jie Greed said was true or not, and asked: "Jie Greed, if you don't want to return Fairy Zhou's storage bracelet, just say bluntly, go around such a bend to wait for your master to come back and then wipe us out, right?"
Zhou Jingxuan looked at Jie Greed coldly: "That's what you think?"
"What I said is true, the storage bracelet is really in the hands of Master." Jie greed said hurriedly. But he looked at Hong Zhan in surprise, because he really wanted to wait for the master to come back and then wipe out the two of them at once.
"Hmph!" Hong Zhan snorted, and then said: "While Fairy Zhou is poisoned and weak, coercive and coercive, the account of forcibly robbing has not been settled with you, and now he is still stubborn and unrepentant.
"How can you trust me?" Jie greed shouted.
"You, Jie Ang, and Jie Fool were under house arrest for Fairy Zhou and took away Fairy Zhou's storage bracelet. Now, when your master returns, he will exchange the storage bracelet for you, and I will believe you." Hong Zhan said coldly.
Jie greed immediately said angrily: "Hong Zhan, you haven't settled the account for killing my disciple with you yet, and you still want me to be arrested, you are dreaming."
Hong Zhan smiled coldly and said loudly: "Have you Tianlong Temple disciples seen it? It was the precept that offended Fairy Zhou first, and he was unwilling to return what he had stolen from Fairy Zhou. Now, we want to get back what belongs to us, and whoever dares to help them is our enemy, so don't blame us for being rude then."
With a groan, he pulled out the God Slaughter Knife and pointed it at the three monks opposite. He is bowing first and then soldiers, taking righteousness to block the mouth of Youyou, whoever blocks my way, kills him with righteousness.
"Stop greed, hatred, and foolishness, and come out." Zhou Jingxuan also shouted.
The monks frowned slightly, and it stands to reason that they are here to protect the three people who quit greed. But once the conflict with Zhou Jingxuan escalates, it may form a chain reaction, attracting more monks to participate in fishing in troubled waters. If the five sword cultivators were let go and the spiritual treasure was lost, the gain would be more than worth the loss.
Jie greed also knew the situation, and immediately said to a monk: "Senior Brother Jie Hai, I have caused you trouble, we will solve our affairs ourselves."
The monk Jie Hai nodded and said: "Solve your grievances by yourself, we won't interfere."
All the monks seemed to be looking at the seahorse, and they all folded their hands and nodded.
But seeing that he was quitting greed, hatred, and ignorance, he walked out with more than ten disciples and explained to the disciples in a low voice.
"I, Jie Anger, Jie Fool, hold Zhou Jingxuan, you take Hong Zhan, be careful of his soul power." Quit greed said.
He kept his eyes fixed on Hong Zhan, he felt that this was a good time to regain the God Slayer Sword, he didn't know that Hong Zhan had greatly increased his cultivation.
"Yes!" More than a dozen disciples rubbed their hands and said.
Immediately afterwards, Quit greed, quit hatred, and quit foolishness and held a ring knife in his hand and surrounded Zhou Jingxuan.
More than ten disciples surrounded Hong Zhan, and one of them even swung out a ring knife and stabbed Hong Zhan in the throat, as if he wanted to kill Hong Zhan with a single knife, leaving Hong Zhan speechless.
"Tu Feng!" Hong Zhan shouted coldly.
A red knife flashed, and with a bang, a monk's head flew out, and blood splattered.
