"It's interesting that a errand disciple actually possesses the sword issued by the sect to outer disciples. I probably know how this Jiang Zheng got in... Judging from the test just now, the other party should not have any backing, otherwise how could he endure such humiliation? If it is really as Elder Lu said, then Jiang Zheng should just be a fool who happened to get an opportunity..." As soon as he went out, Xiao Yuxuan started to think secretly. After the previous test, he had made up his mind to take advantage of Jiang Zheng. At this moment, a jade slip flew out from the waist, and Luke Dong's powerful voice was heard. "How are you doing with what I asked you to do?" "Replying to the elder, I have ordered someone to call him over. When I have finished testing him, I will report to you immediately..." Xiao Yuxuan replied respectfully. "Well, remember, don't act rashly. What if this boy has some kind of power behind him..." "Elder Lu, aren't you being too cautious? He is just a chores disciple, how could he have any backers?"
Xiao Yuxuan spoke first, with a smile on his face. Since he had told a lie, he had to make the play more realistic. "Your vision is still too narrow. If you have this mentality, you probably won't go very far on your path." After saying this, the jade slip dimmed and returned to his waist. "Humph, old man, it's not your turn to teach me how to do things! But you are just relying on your age, and you want to use me to test that person? Unfortunately, you made a wrong calculation. When I get that opportunity, hehe..." Thinking of this, his mood suddenly became better, and he quickly rushed to his residence, ready to make full preparations for the next action. In fact, when he was at Jiang Zheng's residence just now, he had already developed the intention to kill after a little probing. The reason why he chose not to take action was, on the one hand, because of the sect rules. If he killed the other party on the spot, he would have a hard time explaining it. On the other hand, he had other plans, and he didn't want to make wedding clothes for others in vain. Moreover, he only sensed a faint spiritual energy from Jiang Zheng, and was fully confident that he could manipulate the other party in the palm of his hand. At the same time, Jiang Zheng sat quietly on the bed, holding the spirit stone in both hands, constantly absorbing the pure spiritual energy in the spirit stone, which made his cultivation speed soar. With his luggage already packed beside him, he practiced while waiting for nightfall. The steward had just revealed all his secrets. If he were to rely on the other party's words at this time, it would be nothing but deceiving himself. The book says: A gentleman does not stand under a dangerous wall. So Jiang Zheng decided not to sit and wait for death anymore, but to escape from Lingxi Sect tonight. From then on, he would be able to fly freely in the sky and fish in the sea. After what happened just now, he has realized the importance of strength. If he doesn't want to be bullied, he has to work hard to improve his own skills. So he took out the precious spirit stone without hesitation, quickly improved his cultivation, and strived to enter the first level of Qi Refining as soon as possible. In this way, he can cast some basic spells and have some ability to protect himself. Even if he escapes, he will not be threatened by tigers, leopards, jackals and wolves. "Muxi, I was thinking of meeting you, but now it seems there is no chance. But I will find you again when I become famous..." Jiang Zheng carried a sword on his back and waved towards the top of the mountain, as if saying goodbye.
From childhood to adulthood, he only had Lin Muxi as a friend. When he learned that she was also in Tianshan Sect, he was very happy, but he gave up the idea of meeting his old friend in just a moment. She is now about to become the sect's female leader, second only to the emperor and above everyone else. Adding to her extraordinary talent, she has already made a name for herself. But he was just a small errand disciple. Even if others didn't say anything, Jiang Zheng himself would feel embarrassed to go to her at this time. Isn't this marrying above his station? It was already late at night. Jiang Zheng glanced at the room again. It looked the same as it had when he moved in. He then closed the door gently. He came to the iron pillar window opposite the door again, took out a handful of silver from his pocket and threw it in through the window, hesitated for a moment, gritted his teeth and took out a spirit stone. But after hesitating again and again, he put it back into his arms. "Goodbye Iron Pillar" Jiang Zheng disappeared into the night without looking back. There were many paths on the mountain, but there was only one way down the mountain, which was a winding wide mountain road. Maybe there are other ways, but Jiang Zheng doesn't know. In the night, the moonlight was like water. Jiang Zheng walked alone in the mountains and forests, and occasionally strange cries came from the woods. It is extremely scary, but fortunately, the monsters that can live in Lingxi Mountain are basically the spiritual pets of cultivators and will not hurt people. But he was still extremely alert in his heart, looking around from time to time, holding the sword in one hand and holding the hilt with the other, ready to draw the sword at any time! He is still some distance away from the first level of Qi Refining and cannot use simple spells or flying swords, which are the self-defense tools of cultivators. The only thing on his body that could protect him was Hu Liang's sword. Fortunately, although he had not cultivated to the first level of Qi Refining, his strength was greatly increased with the nourishment of spiritual energy. With the help of moonlight, Jiang Zheng walked down the mountain quickly with the sword in hand. He didn't know how much time had passed, but he estimated that he had reached the halfway point of the mountain. “Hehehe…” Suddenly, Jiang Zheng stopped abruptly, and Kong Qing's teasing voice rang out in his mind. Jiang Zheng thought for a moment, without any hesitation, he immediately turned around and ran towards the mountain, his heart pounding wildly. Although he didn't feel anything, but... Kong Qing smiled! That playful laughter sounded as if we were about to see a good show, and it was definitely not a good thing! Jiang Zheng ran wildly all the way, breathing heavily. The leaves above his head made a rustling sound. Something was following him! "How did you find me?" Suddenly, Jiang Zheng’s vision blurred and a figure jumped down from the sky, blocking his way. Taking a closer look in the moonlight, he recognized the person at a glance, and suddenly felt as if he had fallen into an icy cave. It’s the manager! "It's you!" Jiang Zheng widened his eyes and tightly gripped the sword in his hand. He already knew through inquiring that the manager's name was Xiao Yuxuan. He is a true Qi Refining Level 3 cultivator. "I've been waiting for you for a long time. You're smart and know how to run." Xiao Yuxuan's tone was cold, and he did not conceal his murderous intent at all. He pointed at the long sword at his waist as if it came alive.
“Damn it!” Jiang Zheng cursed angrily and ran down the mountain desperately. The opponent was a cultivator at the third level of Qi Refining. He had no chance of fighting him. The only way to survive was to run. "Where are you running to?" Clang—— The sound of a sword being unsheathed! Jiang Zheng looked back, his face changed drastically, and he rushed to the side. call out-- A faint white light cut through the air, brushed past his body and cut through the ancient tree beside him. The old tree collapsed with a loud bang, stirring up a large cloud of dust and startling the birds in the forest. “Hehehe… Wonderful, really wonderful!” Kong Qing laughed excitedly, as if he was extremely excited. "How do you feel? You're going to die soon~ If you want to live, give me your emotions... Strength, talent, whatever you want, I'll give it to you... Come on, as long as you nod, I can give you strength. You can kill a stink bug at the third level of Qi Refining with just a raise of your hand..." His voice seemed to have magical power, lingering in Jiang Zheng's ears, with an irresistible temptation.
