Becoming a God by Searching Mountains and Subduing Demons

Chapter 220 Tianxing Village, Visitors from Xuntian Sect

Lizhou, western border, Tianxing Village.

The sun sets in the west, and its afterglow falls on the mountainside. The surrounding jungle and stone buildings are gradually shrouded in dusk.

This village was built not long ago and does not occupy a large area, but it has all the necessary facilities. It is surrounded by thorns and the gate is closed, revealing a solemn and murderous atmosphere.

"Old Five is on patrol today, why hasn't he come back yet?"

"I'm afraid he's gone out to have fun. If he doesn't come back before dark, I'll make sure my elder brother punishes him!"

"Although Lao Wu is a bit impulsive, he is not so negligent in his duties. Perhaps something went wrong."

"Could it be that he was captured by the patrol officer? If so, the location of the village will have to be changed. This is not a big deal, but the treasure tree..."

In the Juyi Hall, a group of bandits gathered together and continued to discuss.

The leader was a burly bearded man, sitting in the center with a sword in his hand. A hemp rope was loosely tied around his waist, with a thick long sword hanging on the rope.

"enough."

"Even if Lao Wu is going out to have fun, he can't be late. We need to be prepared."

"I believe my brother. He is not such an ungrateful person. At least he will not expose our position in the short term."

The man spoke in a deep voice, and his powerful aura immediately calmed down the people present.

"We can't stay in the village, but there's no need to panic. We can move out after the harvest is complete. How many offerings are left?"

As soon as he finished speaking, the third elder beside him said, "If we start harvesting now, I'm afraid it won't be enough. After all, the treasure tree is terrifying. Without enough offerings, it may be difficult to harvest."

"It doesn't matter."

"Doesn't Lao Wu have family?"

The man grinned, and everyone around him felt a chill in their hearts.

"I, Hu Jun, have never treated my brothers unfairly. If you force them to harvest without offerings, I'm afraid my brothers will be killed or injured. Since the fifth brother hasn't returned, it can be considered that they have made the best use of their resources."

What a good way to make the best use of things.

But one person's face suddenly changed, but he still didn't dare to speak to stop it.

Since the establishment of Tianxing Village, Hu Jun knew that he had to be cautious and has never shown this expression.

After all, if what happened here were known to the outside world, they would have no chance of survival.

It was for this reason that Hu Jun never dared to abduct people from villages and towns. As for where the offerings came from, they were naturally selected from those who were willing to follow them up the mountain.

First babies, then adults, and now…

They have already picked out the families of their sworn brothers.

Although he knew that this would discourage people, Hu Jun didn't care.

After all, what if it chills people’s hearts?

As long as he can harvest a few more times, he will be able to break through the fourth realm.

The essence of blood and flesh, after being swallowed, is of great benefit to the practice of martial arts. This is the magical part of the walking flesh tree. Those warriors who pass by without knowing its ability and are attracted by it often have no way out but death.

And after breaking through the fourth realm, he can harvest as much as he wants, without the need for offerings, and with less worries about being discovered.

By then, even the ordinary astronomical inspectors would be unable to do anything to him. In such a big world, there would be no place that he could not go.

As for the people in this village...

Although they became sworn brothers, Hu Jun didn't care about the oath.

Who doesn’t have his or her own ulterior motives?

Just as there was silence on the field.

A streak of light suddenly flashed, breaking the silence. Hu Jun's pupils shrank, and the next moment his whole body exploded, bursting into a ball of flesh and blood.

Before they could react, they saw a figure appear on the desk in Juyi Hall.

Jiang Yue squatted casually on the table, looked around, and asked in a horrified look: "Who is the second in command?"

But a man stood up from the chair tremblingly, not daring to look Jiang Yue in the eye.

Hu Jun was at the peak of the third realm, but he was killed in an instant?
No one even saw clearly what means the other party used.

How could they possibly resist such a vicious person!
"What do you want me to say?"

The second in command is a middle-aged man who looks a little weak. He does not have much energy and looks more like a scholar.

Snapped!
Just as he stood up, his head exploded like a watermelon. This time, the people saw clearly that it was a long knife that penetrated his brain and crushed it into pieces.

"Three questions, I will tell the truth from the false, and those who answer correctly will be spared death."

Jiang Yue changed direction. Killing a person casually did not affect his mood at all. After all, everyone who could sit here had a huge blood debt.

Along the way, he did not avoid the sentries or secret guards. He already knew most of what was happening in the village, but there were still some details he wanted to ask.

"When was the Patrol of the Heavens established? Why did the Patrol of the Heavens jointly supervise the organization with this religion?"

"My Lord, I know something! The Sky Patrol Sect has actually been established for some time, but it was not called this name before, and the public did not know about it... It was only last year that the Sky Patrol Department suddenly announced that it would join forces with the mother sect to kill the evil spirits, and the name of the Sky Patrol Sect only appeared in the public eye."

One of them looked terrified, as if he wanted to seize this opportunity, and hurriedly said, "After the establishment of the Xuntian Sect, they really killed monsters everywhere. I don't know how many big monsters in the past were beheaded."

"very good."

Hearing this answer, Jiang Yue nodded and looked very pleased.

The person who answered the question immediately breathed a sigh of relief, while the others became even more nervous.

"The second question is, since you have become bandits, aren't you afraid of being wiped out by the Patrol Heaven Sect? From what I've observed, although you have strong defenses, there is always a loophole."

As he spoke, Jiang Yue stretched out his hand and pointed at the two dead leaders.

"this…"

"My lord, you may not know that although these are just some small tricks that cannot stop a strong man like you, the Patrol Heaven Sect is not so harsh on us. If we are really exposed one day, offering the Walking Flesh Tree should be able to exchange for a way to survive."

Another person rushed to answer, fearing that he would be a little slow and be overtaken by the others.

"This Patrol Heaven Sect is slaying demons everywhere, but they don't care that much about human disasters..."

"Or maybe it's just because this village is not important enough to attract attention, and it's far away from the villages and towns and close to the border, so we haven't had time to wipe it out yet."

After hearing the other party's reply, Jiang Yue pondered secretly.

Soon, he asked again: "One last question, who are the people in the village from?"

The Xuntian Sect was considered to be a merger of the two sides, but the titles were still retained. For example, the Inspector corresponded to its protector, and the Xuntian General corresponded to its bishop. It was just not known which side the person in charge of the village closest to this place originally belonged to.

"I know!"

One person spoke excitedly, which immediately made the rest of the people present look disheartened. He hurriedly said, "This place is managed by a patrol captain named Lu Qian. However, his direct superior is not from the original patrol department, but a guardian of the Mother Cult. I am not very clear about the details..."

Before he finished speaking, several clouds of blood mist exploded!

Except for the three people who answered the question, the rest of the people in the Juyi Hall died in an instant. Jiang Yue acted as fast as lightning, not even giving them a moment to think. The three looked at each other, their hearts full of horror, and their faces full of shock and fear.

Fortunately, they managed to survive...

at this time.

brush!
The knife flashed, and blood spurted out of the three people's bodies. In an instant, they felt that their meridians were broken and they were seriously injured.

Although they did not die on the spot, these three people had already become disabled people. Not to mention practicing martial arts, even leading a normal life was difficult for them.

"You are such an unfaithful person! I really misjudged you. Even if you become a ghost, I will not let you go!"

One of them slumped in a chair, completely unable to muster any strength, but his eyes were wide open with anger and he kept shouting and cursing.

"I promised you that I would spare your lives."

Jiang Yue grinned, not caring about the insults at all, and said to himself: "But whether the Xuntian Sect stays or not is none of my business."

After saying that, he turned around and walked out without further explanation.

Perhaps having heard the noise, some people had gathered outside the Juyi Hall. When they saw Jiang Yue coming out, they all lowered their heads and dared not say much.

Now, all the warriors who entered the village have been cleared out, and Jiang Yue is too lazy to take care of their families. As for those "offerings" who are raised, it may not be an easy task for them to walk out of this hundred-mile forest alone.

However, once the Sky Patrol Captain takes over this place, it should be properly handled.

"We can use this incident to test whether those people are still trustworthy."

Anyway, there are no monsters around, so even without those warriors, the village won't be in any danger. Jiang Yue already knew the information he wanted, so he walked out on his own.

It was getting late. The nearest human settlement was the big village, which was still a hundred miles away. We needed to go back and rest first.

……

When they returned to the location of the walking meat tree, they saw that the eagle, dog and horse had eaten so much that their bellies were round. After being instructed to wait there, they all fell to the ground and took a nap.

Sensing Jiang Yue's breath, Xiaotian, who had the most sensitive sense of smell, turned over, roared excitedly twice, and ran over quickly.

"It absorbed tens of thousands of blood and flesh essences."

The amount of essence provided by this walking flesh tree is similar to what Jiang Yue estimated.

Now, I have eaten about one third of it, which is already more than ten thousand. The rest of the flesh and blood has been put into the Qiankun bag. If I feed it slowly in the future, the total number of blood and flesh essences will be about thirty to forty thousand.

If I collect some more demon corpses, I can start evolving my bloodline again.

Unfortunately…

Jiang Yue looked at the place where the walking tree was originally located, only to see that the tentacles had disappeared. It seemed that they had escaped to another place.

Unfortunately, this walking flesh tree cannot be fed. The people of Tianxing Village simply did not have enough strength to harvest all its flesh and blood in one go, so they had no choice but to choose to feed and harvest it slowly.

If you can keep it in captivity and harvest it every now and then, your pet will be able to make rapid progress.

However, even if he knew the method, Jiang Yue would not be able to transplant it now. After all, this is the territory of Lizhou, and he can only be considered a passer-by.

There are so many spiritual plants and precious medicines in the world, so this one is not a big deal. Anyway, this time he has completely harvested the accumulation of dozens or even hundreds of years, so why would he not be satisfied?

"Don't eat too much, it will affect your movements."

Looking at Xiaotian running towards him, Jiang Yue patted its head and pointed ahead and said, "We still have to hurry."

But Xiaotian turned around a few times, as if thinking about something, and then walked to a giant tree and excreted the remaining digestive residue.

"This beast."

Jiang Yue didn't know whether to laugh or cry, and said to Xun Tian and Bai Jiao Ma, "You don't have to learn it. After all, it's convenient to pull while walking."

Searching the mountains for treasures is fun in itself, and it is even more interesting with the company of these pets.

On the way back, the Sky Survey Token received a signal.

"We have encountered people from the Sky Survey Sect."

Miao Xingyu's voice was calm and steady, but the information contained in it surprised Jiang Yue.

Xuntian Sect?
Come to your door now?

"I'm on my way back and will be there in a moment."

Jiang Yue replied immediately, but the doubts in his heart did not dissipate for a long time.

It was not surprising that the other party was able to find them.

After all, we are working together with the Sky Patrol Department. If the information of both sides is different, there will be no one we cannot find in Lizhou.

Perhaps at that border, the other party already knew exactly where they would be.

only…

What is your intention in coming to me at this time?

Thinking about the person who had communicated with them before, it seemed that his words had asked them to go to the provincial capital for a talk. Jiang Yue always felt that there was some conspiracy.

I just don’t know whether the person who came was the official who patrolled the sky or someone from the Mother’s Church.

There may not sound any difference between the two now, but Jiang Yue always feels that there is a huge difference.

Although I don’t have a very good impression of the Sky Patrol Department, and its establishment is not that grand, but…

It sounds better than that mother religion, right?
At least, there are people in the Astronomical Survey Office who are truly dedicated to the country and the people, and there are also people who have made a great ambition to spend their entire lives to ensure the stability of the country.

However, the specific situation is still unknown at this time, so it is not convenient to ask. After all, no one knows what situation Miao Xingyu is in.

If the fight has already started...

Jiang Yue made a simple estimate and found that his current strength had already made great progress. Although he could not be compared with the powerful marquises, his immortal magic was so magical that he could hold out for a while without any problem.

The attack from the Blood Spear Marquis didn't kill him on the spot, which showed that he had the ability to survive in the face of the Marquis Realm.

Although he is not strong enough to defeat his opponent, Jiang Yue's current strength is enough to influence the battle for the title of Marquis.

"If I save some more time, it may not be just a fantasy to kill a noble one day."

Looking at the accumulation of time on the panel, Jiang Yue felt a little more at ease.

Hundreds of years were enough for him to deduce the Immortal Immortal Technique many times. Even if he could not improve it, the function of instantly healing injuries was still useful.

What's more, there might not have been a fight over there. Judging from the attitude given by the other party, the Xuntian Sect seemed to want to gain their recognition.

"No wonder Wu Sheng Mu's teachings are so popular."

"Perhaps the other party is threatening us and trying to win us over this time, but in the final analysis, they all hope that we, especially Jiayin, will not bring the information to Kyoto..."

"Otherwise, this would be a serious crime of treason. Although the world is in chaos, the royal family of the Great Zhou Dynasty may still have some means. If someone dares to do this in public, I'm afraid..."

Many thoughts flashed through his mind, but the return journey was fast. Jiang Yue had already sensed the location of Miao Xingyu and the others.

And the person from the Xuntian Sect has also appeared in sight.
