Longevity starts with choosing Hextech enhancement

Chapter 186 Meeting Li Yongfeng and Learning the Latest Intelligence

Hezhou is very large, and even if you ride a flying sword, it will take several days to travel from north to south.

Hezhou is very small, so small that before Xiao Chen even left Wanhua Valley, he met Li Yongfeng, the president of Huidong Chamber of Commerce.

He was not alone. There were also three foundation-building cultivators who concealed their own auras and hurriedly ran south along Shuangxialing Mountain.

They are very fast and ordinary monks cannot keep up with them.

But for Xiao Chen, this is not a problem.

He could even use the golden light to travel through the mountains and forests below, concealing his body from being discovered.

Strangely enough, Li Yongfeng also seemed to be heading towards the Qingxiao Sect, and he almost never stopped along the way.

It wasn't until they left Wanhua Valley and entered the territory of Qingxiao Sect that they slowed down.

Then they split into groups of two and went to different places.

There were a lot of people there before, but now seeing them separating on their own initiative, Xiao Chen had no more scruples and accelerated to stop Li Yongfeng.

Three streams of light instantly formed a small Three Talents Sword Formation, trapping the stranger who was building his foundation in the formation.

At the same time, he threw the Immortal Binding Rope and said, "Go!"

The rope seemed to come alive and headed straight for Li Yongfeng.

"You dare to cheat?"

Unexpectedly, the stranger who had built his foundation also looked at Li Yongfeng immediately, glaring at him: "The Sect Master saved your life back then, are you going to be a villain?"

As he spoke, he also took out a round bone shield to temporarily block the sword formation's stranglehold.

The aura on his body could not be concealed, revealing his cultivation level of great perfection in the foundation building stage.

Seeing this, Xiao Chen thought to himself that it was as expected. The reason he didn't fight one against four was because he was worried that such a situation would cause the prey to escape.

However, if one of them is trapped in the sword formation now, then there will be no danger of any loss.

Li Yongfeng on the other side recognized the Immortal Binding Rope at a glance and was shocked.

He quickly pulled out a jade talisman from his bosom, held it between his fingertips and shook it: "Set!"

The jade talisman then transformed into a golden light that enveloped the Immortal Binding Rope, preventing it from falling.

First, I explained: "Fellow Daoist Jingcheng, please don't misunderstand me. I don't know this beast."

At the same time, he took out a precious orb and offered it up, then shouted, "I am the president of the Huidong Chamber of Commerce. Who are you?"

Xiao Chen looked up at the golden light in the sky.

Well, he knew that as the president, Li Yongfeng must have some self-defense methods.

But it doesn’t matter. I didn’t really expect the Immortal Binding Rope to be successful in one strike.

Without saying anything, he took out the Golden Gourd Thunderbolt Hammer and stuck it directly on him.

It’s not too late to communicate slowly after you have defeated the other party.

"How brave!"

Seeing Xiao Chen rushing up, Li Yongfeng immediately stretched out his hand and waved it, and a bright white magic shield appeared.

It was shimmering, emitting a sky-blue light shield that protected itself tightly.

He then took out an orange-red magic bead, chanted a spell rapidly, and threw it out.

A ball of flame suddenly burst out from the magic bead, transforming into an orange-red flame curtain that blocked his way.

"Wow~!"

The golden gourd thunder hammer hit the fire curtain as if it hit a pool of water.

Immediately, a large amount of flames splashed everywhere, and when they landed on the hammer, they instantly burned the hammer head red, and even emitted wisps of white smoke.

When it fell on the muddy round shield, it made a "crackling" sound, like water splashing into a frying pan.

Xiao Chen leaned against the round shield and could feel the temperature around him doubled in an instant.

It is obvious that this is definitely not an ordinary spiritual fire, but some kind of special fire.

He immediately activated the fire-hiding treasure gourd and retracted the fire curtain in front of him.

Fortunately, the magic gourd still performed stably and successfully collected most of the spiritual fire.

Although the magic bead in front was still spewing out new spiritual fire continuously, it also revealed a large number of flaws.

As the spiritual fire was restrained, Li Yongfeng immediately felt the magic power in his dantian being rapidly consumed.

He quickly put away the magic beads and removed the fire curtain.

He stared at the fire treasure gourd in the air and said, "What a treasure!"

Although Xiao Chen used the invisibility cloak to conceal his figure, the number of such special and top-grade magic weapons is very limited.

Li Yongfeng wrote down the appearance, and it was not difficult to find out the other party's specific identity through this.

He did not stop his movements, and took out a jade bottle while putting away the magic beads.

Driven by magic power, the originally palm-sized jade bottle immediately became six feet high, suspended in the air and then turned over.

A large amount of water immediately poured out from the bottle mouth, and then wrapped up both the bottle and the person.

If spiritual fire doesn’t work, then use spiritual water instead.

Li Yongfeng's fighting style is very disciplined. He first builds at least two lines of defense in front of him and is not in a hurry to launch an attack.

The disadvantage of doing this is that it is somewhat passive, but the advantage is stability.

For example, sneak attacks such as the Soul-Chasing Shuttle and the Soul-Severing Needle cannot bypass different defenses to achieve miraculous effects.

In addition, it can also effectively block the surprise attacks of physical cultivators.

The water waves looked ordinary, but judging from the spiritual pressure emanating from them, one could feel that it was definitely not weaker than the previous spiritual fire.

Such a steady style is rare, but Xiao Chen is not in a hurry.

He stepped back a little and began to use his various magical weapons one by one.

At worst, they would just compete in mana consumption. He didn't believe that the opponent could outlast him?

As a large number of top-grade magic weapons unfolded, Li Yongfeng's face immediately changed: "Xiao Chen!"

There is absolutely no mistake. There is only one person in the entire Hezhou who has the ability to drive so many top-grade magical weapons.

He immediately looked to the other side: "Fellow Daoist Jingcheng, you know that I never interact with other cultivators from Lizhou."

At the same time, Wang Jingcheng, who was trapped in the sword formation and defending himself with his head in his hands, also saw the situation outside.

He was surprised at first, and then his anger grew.

Then a trace of determination flashed in his eyes: "Xiao Chen, you killed the Holy Son and yet you dare to come to me!"

"Even if I sacrifice my life today, I will make you die here."

"Fellow Daoist Li, I will hold him back. Please go and inform the other two fellow Daoists as soon as possible."

As he spoke, he took out a "holy medicine" and swallowed it without hesitation.

"Death is not the end, but my new life!"

"Ahhhh~!"

Amidst screams of pain, white bones emerged from Wang Jingcheng's body, and he directly carried the Small Three Talents Sword Formation and turned into a giant several meters tall.

Li Yongfeng, who was standing by, was shocked when he heard this. Xiao Chen also killed the Holy Son of the White Bone Sect?

But then he was delighted. No matter what, with the protection of the bone giant, he could escape from here first.

So he immediately took out a breath-suppressing talisman from his bosom and stuck it on his chest to block out his breath.

Then he decisively flew south.

Xiao Chen was a little confused at first. Was the other party drunk?

He was famous for his escape skills, and it had only been four months since he dealt with the attacking bone giant at the foot of Qingyang Mountain.

Why does the other party think that he will be held back this time?

After catching sight of Li Yongfeng's position, Xiao Chen chased after him with a flash of golden light on his body.

However, the next moment, a faster white light blocked his way.
.
"Death, everyone must die!"

The roar of the bone giant sounded a little broken, as if it were two rotten wooden blocks rubbing against each other.

But his attack should not be underestimated.

A huge bony palm grabbed him, and a strong gust of wind came towards him.

Fortunately, Xiao Chen's Golden Light had reached its peak, allowing him to control it with ease. He changed direction in an instant, only then avoiding the edge of the bone palm.

How could it be so fast?

It was obvious that the last time the bone giant was still very clumsy.

He looked carefully and found that compared to last time, the white bone giant in front of him seemed to have "shrunk".

At the same time, the bones of the legs appear to be a whole, but are actually made up of countless slender bones.

The overall shape is no longer human-like, but the lower body looks like two giant grasshopper legs.

In fact, the holy medicine of the White Bone Sect will cause the user to lose their mind.

But during the process of change, the monk can still feel his own situation.

In order to alleviate their own pain during this last period of clarity, ordinary monks will not actively interfere with this process of change.

However, Wang Jingcheng knew that Xiao Chen's escape technique was extremely fast, so he endured the severe pain and interfered with the change. At the cost of reducing some of his strength, he increased the speed of the bone giant.

Trying to entangle Xiao Chen in this way.

"It actually has different forms. It's worthy of being the foundation that the White Bone Sect relies on."

Xiao Chen sighed, and seeing the bone giant attacking again, he suddenly dodged to the left and then turned sharply to the right halfway.

He dodged the attack again using his body skills.

The now strengthened bone giant's reaction is only slightly slower than his, and it has a stronger burst speed.

You have to use all your strength to dodge and you can't even think about chasing people.

During this delay, Li Yongfeng in the distance had become a small dot in the sky and was about to disappear from view.

Once he lets him go, his identity will probably be exposed.

Xiao Chen took a deep breath and simply put away all the other magic weapons, leaving only a layer of golden armor on his body.

He immediately took out the secret round-scale shield from the storage bag and grasped the handle behind the shield tightly with both hands.

Seeing the bone giant rushing towards him again, he gritted his teeth and stopped in mid-air without dodging, just slightly adjusting the angle.

"boom!"

The next moment, he was blown away by a surge of huge force.

The bone giant possesses abnormal punching power far exceeding that of a foundation-building cultivator. Even defensive magic weapons can hardly withstand such an impact.

Fortunately, the Secretly Refined Round Scale Shield is, after all, a top-grade defensive magical weapon, so its quality is naturally needless to say.

Without activation, although a large dent was left on the spot, it was able to barely withstand the impact of the punch.

Xiao Chen also relied on his body-building skills in the late stage of foundation building to hold on to the shield tightly.

He let the force of the impact carry him away.

Or rather, it flew out.

Because there is no blocking and no force release.

Xiao Chen instantly turned into a stream of light, and his speed was twice as fast as when he used all his strength to activate the golden light.

"Swoosh!" He caught up with and surpassed Li Yongfeng who was running away in front.

In the blink of an eye, he was even three miles ahead of him.

If Xiao Chen hadn't taken the initiative to stabilize his body, the distance would have been even farther.

hiss~!

hurts a little.

After being dragged all the way by the shield, his hands now felt sore and painful.

At the same time, under the impact of the punch, his chest also felt a little stuffy.

This was because he not only had a solid foundation in physical training, but also possessed a gold nature and tiger bones, which gave him abundant Qi and blood. If anyone else, even a ninth-level physical cultivator, dared to do this, they would have lost half their life if not died.

And it's a pity that the secret round-scale shield in his hand is about to be scrapped after only a few days of use.

He put away the damaged shield and took out the flying sword again: "Fellow Daoist Li, don't be in such a hurry to leave. I still have something to discuss with you."

Li Yongfeng was flying at full speed when he suddenly felt something flying past him.

He didn't have time to see it clearly at first, but when he looked carefully, he was surprised to find that it was a shield with a concave center, and there seemed to be two legs underneath.

What the hell is this!
He stopped in surprise and looked, only then did he see Xiao Chen behind the shield.

It's even more frightening!

No, how could he be so fast?

The speed just now was dozens of times faster than Li Yongfeng's full-strength flight.

And I can't even see a trace of light of escape, so what kind of escape technique is that?
How could there be such a fast escape technique in the world?

But he didn't have time to think about these questions, because three streams of light had already fallen beside him and formed a sword formation.

"Wait a moment, Brother Xiao, wait a moment!"

Li Yongfeng raised his magic shield and shouted, "We have no grudges in the past or in the present, so why are you trying to make things difficult for me today?"

"The Lihuo Sect is also a reputable and upright sect. You suddenly attacked me today. You must give a reason."

Ok?
His question made Xiao Chen stunned for a moment.

This was the first time someone had a reason to attack him, he had never encountered such a problem before.

However, from Li Yongfeng's perspective, he was walking along just fine when suddenly someone appeared and attacked him without any reason. He must have been a little confused at the moment.

"Since you asked sincerely, I will be merciful and tell you."

Xiao Chen certainly had a legitimate reason: "The Huidong Chamber of Commerce is secretly communicating with the Divine Fire Sect."

"As the guild leader, you secretly helped the Divine Fire Cult collect sacrifices. As a Demon Slayer, I'm now accusing you of this. Is this reason enough?"

Li Yongfeng's face froze when he heard this.

But then he asked, "Fellow Daoist Xiao, do you have any evidence that I'm secretly communicating with the Divine Fire Sect?"

Ok?
Xiao Chen was immediately amused by the question. Could it be that the other party was trying to play word games?

He wasn't in the mood for that: "Stop talking nonsense, you know whether you have secret connections with the Demon Cult or not!"

As he spoke, he activated the sword formation and began to strangle.

"Xiao Chen, you tried to kill innocent people without any evidence. Doesn't your conscience hurt?"

While blocking the sword energy, Li Yongfeng tried to persuade him with words: "Now that Master Yusha has fallen and Master Fujian is seriously injured, we need more help."

"Yet you're still here attacking your own people. Are you trying to help the evildoers?"

Xiao Chen was really stunned this time.

He is not a pedantic person, so he naturally doesn't care about Li Yongfeng's accusations and ridiculous moral kidnapping.

But could it be true that Master Yusha had died?

There seemed to be such a rumor in Xianghe Market at that time, but it was only spread by some Qi-refining monks.

Considering that most of the rumors were false, he didn't take them seriously.

But now thinking back, considering the unusual situation in Xunmei Mountain, it seems that there is indeed a shortage of manpower on the Zhengdao side.

Even Master Qianzhu took action, but there was still one person missing.

Moreover, the fact that the Divine Fire Sect dared to attack the third-level formation without worrying about an ambush inside seemed to indirectly illustrate this point.

Then Lizhou might fall into turmoil.
.
Although the three major sects in Lizhou hold three-sect competitions from time to time, they seem to be quite harmonious.

But this is only limited to disciples in the Qi Refining Stage, and the relationship between middle and high-level leaders is actually not good.

After all, there are only so many spiritual mines, spiritual fields, and spiritual veins in Lizhou.

If one company takes more, another company must take less.

The reason they didn't fight directly was because they were restraining each other and were afraid that both sides would suffer losses and a third party would benefit.

If Master Yusha really dies, the safety of the other two masters will be extremely critical.

Especially Master Ming Yan, it’s good that he is safe and sound, if he is also injured, the Cang Yan Sect will be the only one in power.

"Phew, don't think about that right now."

Xiao Chen shook his head and concentrated on activating the sword formation to increase his offensive.

Fortunately, the insane skeleton giant in the distance did not follow us here.

So after exhausting all his defensive magic weapons, he still easily captured Li Yongfeng.

In a hurry to ask questions, Xiao Chen directly used the secret method of "blood earthworm".

A quarter of an hour later, the latest intelligence was obtained.

Huidong Chamber of Commerce has multiple intelligence channels.

The Chamber of Commerce's own intelligence network has discovered that Xunmei Mountain and Luoyan Mountain have been lost one after another due to the lack of Jindan garrisons.

Wangyan Mountain was completely surrounded, and with the help of Tianji Pavilion and Wanhua Valley, they managed to hold on by reducing their manpower.

East of Yuanci Peak, there are now demonic cultivators roaming everywhere, causing countless casualties among low-level cultivators and mortals.

The latest information obtained by Lingyuan Sect is that True Man Yusha unfortunately died, True Man Fujian was injured, and the rest of the True Men were not seriously injured.

But the news received from the Divine Fire Sect was that True Man Yusha was seriously injured and died, True Man Fujian's life and death were unknown, and True Man Mingyan, True Man Leiyin, and True Man Yaohua were all injured.

Xiao Chen frowned as he listened; the situation suddenly worsened.

What exactly happened in Huangquan Palace that day?
In fact, the situation would not have been so bad originally, but at that time both the good and evil sides did not know that the inheritance and spiritual objects were gone.

Therefore, seeing that the Divine Fire Sect had the advantage of terrain, they wanted to search the underground palace first.

In desperation, Master Fu Jian rushed in directly, trying to snatch the inheritance.

Upon seeing this, Master Nie Jing decisively used his most powerful killer move - Nie Jing Hell!
Three evil mirrors appeared not far away, and three incarnations emerged from them with the sword-carrying immortal as the template.

Before this, the righteous side did not know the Taoist name of Master Nie Jing.

The foundation-building monks within the Divine Fire Sect only know that True Man Nie Jing is the leader.

Moreover, the location where the evil mirror appeared was just covered by the evil energy and was not seen by the righteous golden elixir.

Therefore, when the righteous people outside noticed the sudden appearance of three demonic golden elixirs around them, they thought they were ambushed.

Jin Jian Zhenren turned around and ran, and was the first to rush out of Huangquan Palace.

However, Master Leiyin did not leave directly, but took the risk to meet Master Fujian.

The final result was that the sword cultivator, Fu Jian Zhenren, escaped at the cost of his own flying sword.

Immortal Yaohua lost his inherited spiritual weapon, Immortal Yusha was besieged and seriously injured, and when he tried to use the secret method to break out, he was attacked by Immortal Dusha.

True Man Leiyin and True Man Mingyan were also injured, but True Man Jinjian retained his strength.

These news were strictly blocked immediately and could not spread.

In other words, the Divine Fire Sect instructed the Huidong Chamber of Commerce to spread rumors secretly in order to undermine the confidence of the righteous monks.

The situation was even worse than Xiao Chen had expected.

Judging from this situation, Wangyan Mountain may not be able to be defended in the future.

Lingyuan Sect is already facing the risk of destruction.

At the same time, the Cang Yan Sect is really the only one in power, and Lizhou is likely to be in chaos.

"Fellow Daoist Xiao, please let me go."

Li Yongfeng begged for mercy: "I have already told you all the information I know."

Xiao Chen let out a long breath and sorted out his thoughts.

Then he asked, "So what are you doing here at Qingxiao Sect this time?"

"What is your relationship with the White Bone Sect?"

Li Yongfeng explained: "The people from the White Bone Sect suddenly came to me, and I don't know why they called me here."

“We just had some cooperation.”

Xiao Chen pressed on: "What kind of cooperation?"

Li Yongfeng looked embarrassed. "It's just some normal business, things like spiritual medicine or raw materials for alchemy."

Xiao Chen didn't say anything and silently sacrificed the bloody earthworm.

"No! I'll tell you everything."

Li Yongfeng trembled all over: "I provided blood and essence to the White Bone Sect. A lot of it was bought with spirit stones, and the rest was taken directly."

"The other thing is to provide some information occasionally, but I was really found out of the blue."

"They suddenly showed up with three people who had reached the Great Perfection of Foundation Establishment, and brought holy medicine to threaten me."

"The one before was one of them, and the other two were separated until recently."

"I really don't know anything anymore."

Speaking of this, Li Yongfeng still felt a little regretful. If he had known earlier, he would not have let those two people leave no matter what.

If there were three bone giants, he would definitely be safe.

"Since you don't know anything, let's get going."

Xiao Chen killed Li Yongfeng with a sword and put away the storage bag.

Looking at the white-skeletal giant in the distance who was instinctively hunting all life around him, he did not stop but put on his cloak and quickly left.

He has to be careful now, and it would be best if he could avoid the Jindan Zhenren of the Qingxiao Sect.

When the time comes, find a way to smooth out the local connections and sneak into the spiritual vein.

Xiao Chen had already figured it out. He could disguise himself as a Qi-refining cultivator and enter under the pretext of mining spiritual veins.

Anyway, the person in charge of supervising these miscellaneous affairs must be a Foundation Establishment cultivator, so it is not particularly difficult to deceive them.

Once you enter the mine, it will be much easier to find the evil spirit yourself.

But after walking only a thousand miles, I realized something was wrong along the way.

Gradually, more and more Qi-refining masters appeared in the mountains and forests. They were either hiding to rest or heading north.

Moreover, the closer to the south you get, the more such cultivators there are, and gradually, cultivators at the seventh and even sixth levels of Qi Refining began to appear.

This is very strange.

The cultivators in Qingyang County fled to avoid the evil cultivators. What do you mean?
Not long after, Xiao Chen even saw cultivators at the fourth level of Qi Refining leaving in groups.

He immediately used the "Sealing Acupoints and Concealing Qi Technique" to disguise himself as a Qi Refining Great Perfectionist: "Fellow Daoists, may I ask what happened? Why are you all heading north?"

The three monks who were stopped frowned at that moment.

But when he felt the aura of Qi Refining Great Perfection that Xiao Chen intentionally emitted, his face immediately changed into a smile.

"Senior, we also heard it from others."

"There are rumors that the Qingxiao Sect has been destroyed."

"It's said that the entire Qingxiao Mountain has become a demonic domain. Now everyone wants to leave quickly and seek refuge in Wanhua Valley."

"Senior, we don't know the specific situation, but everyone is spreading it."

What the hell?
Qingxiao Sect is gone?
No, wait, let me take it easy.

Xiao Chen felt that he might be hallucinating, but when he asked someone else, he got the same answer.

"Fellow Daoist, everyone is spreading this message now. Many fellow Daoists have probably already arrived at the Myriad Flowers Valley."

"It's been four days, and no one from Qingxiao Sect has refuted the rumor. It's almost as if it's not true."

"Let's run away!"
