Chapter 289: Who is the master? Please come out and see me!
After entering the Canglian Mountains, Murong Ji finally understood why those monsters could only go through Fenxiang Valley.
There is no road. All you can see are mountains one after another, steep and rugged, with cliffs everywhere.
The thick fog and miasma in the mountains are not much safer than the Death Swamp.
Above the sky, the thick fog blocked by the Canglian Mountains made it very easy to get lost.
Murong Ji and the other man had gloomy faces as they kept shuttling back and forth through the clouds. They were trapped for almost half a month before they found a way across the Fenxiang Valley and entered the Shiwan Mountains.
Southern Xinjiang is mountainous and there are many plants and trees in the mountains.
Murong Ji and his companion took advantage of the night and landed on a relatively flat place. Before they could light a fire, they saw a dilapidated old temple on the opposite side of the mountain not far away.
Looking at each other, it is rare to have a roof over our heads.
He flew up on his sword and headed straight for the ruined temple.
After entering the temple gate and looking around, I found that this ancient temple had been abandoned for a long time, with broken walls and ruins everywhere. The main hall was relatively intact, but it also looked very dilapidated.
"It can't keep out the wind, but it can keep out the rain. It's a good place."
Lu Xueqi did not respond to Murong Ji's self-congratulation, but continued to look around. Seeing Murong Ji packing up, she suddenly said, "We don't need to live in the main hall anymore."
Murong Ji was stunned for a moment, then he reacted. It would be good to be more careful while in the Ten Thousand Mountains.
He put down the weeds in his hand, turned around and walked towards the side hall at the rear left.
Soon, they cleaned up the place, set up the tent and blankets, and started a fire.
By the time they had patched up the light leaks in the side hall, it was already dark. Coincidentally at this moment, a strong wind began to howl.
"It looks like it might rain tonight."
Lu Xueqi still did not reply, but took off her boots, put them aside, took out the bag of dry food, and before taking out the dry food, she suddenly smelled her fingers with some disgust.
He quickly put his boots far away, fetched water to wash his hands, and then started to roast some dry food.
Murong Ji suddenly smiled. She was a goddess in public, but secretly loved picking her toes. That picture was so subversive.
Subvert the character!
Murong Ji looked at Lu Xueqi's down-to-earth reaction with a smile, and fanned his nose, "Hmm, what's that smell?"
Lu Xueqi's expression froze, and quickly became expressionless, pretending to know nothing.
When one reaches their level of cultivation, their bodies are clean and free from dirt, and the only thing that can dirty them is the outside environment.
Just after dinner, the wind outside became louder. Suddenly, a gurgling sound was heard. Murong Ji and Lu Xueqi were both shocked and looked at each other.
The next moment, Murong Ji put out the fire.
I went to the door of the side hall and listened carefully, and there was indeed some movement outside.
After exchanging a glance with Lu Xueqi, the two of them quietly left the side hall, sneaked into the main hall through the broken hole, and landed behind the huge Buddha statue.
As soon as I stood still, I found that there was another person here, Zhang Xiaofan.
The three of them looked at each other, tacitly said nothing, and listened quietly to the situation in front of them.
Then, the chirping sound was heard again, Murong Ji frowned slightly and looked outside. Not long after, the sound of breaking through the air was heard, and the people who came directly fell into the main hall. They were two people in red.
One is old, one is middle-aged.
Murong Ji's expression gradually became serious. [People from Fenxiang Valley! ]
After exchanging a glance with Zhang Xiaofan, both of them had something in mind.
"The clan leader said: This time your information was inaccurate, resulting in heavy losses, and the Beast God was furious..."
"Our original agreement was to tell the Beast God where the 'Heaven and Earth Stone' was. In fact, it was taken away by others. Do you want to blame us for the inaccurate information?"
"The clan leader said: Death Swamp is uninhabited, but this time there are so many human cultivators. Naturally, your information is inaccurate. Moreover, Murong Ji is very strong and he stole the treasure. You, Fenxiang Valley, are also responsible."
……
"Go and find out the whereabouts of Murong Ji and Lu Xueqi so that we can get them back..."
"Okay, soon, Qingyun Sect and Tianyin Temple will send people here, and Lu Xueqi and Murong Ji will definitely be among them. We will find an opportunity to make them die in these 100,000 mountains..."
Murong Ji's face gradually became gloomy, and a black jade disk appeared in his hand with a look of sarcasm. Fenxiang Valley really refreshed his cognition.
Not long ago, he was still shocked by the heroic and exciting things his master Tian Buyi had said, but at this moment his own safety was at stake.
[Master, I’m sorry! ]
"The clan leader said that we will meet here in three days..."
The old man and the middle-aged man could be heard scolding the Thirteen Barbarians, but Murong Ji was in deep thought. The Xuanhuo Formation of Fenxiang Valley was a good thing, as well as the Fenxiang Jade Book.
Suddenly, I thought of the Beast God. In the Demon-Suppressing Cave, there was the Mysterious Fire Formation that Linglong had left behind. [It was time to go take a look.]
"Haw!"
Suddenly, a shrill scream was heard outside the ancient temple. Murong Ji woke up instantly and saw the old man and the middle-aged man hurriedly walking out.
Murong Ji and Lu Xueqi looked at each other and returned to the side hall at the same time to pack up their things.
"Which expert is here? Please come out and see me. I want to ask Lv Shun of Fenxiang Valley for advice..."
A rumbling sound came, and Murong Ji sneered.
"How to do?"
Murong Ji looked at Lu Xueqi and knew that she had already made up her mind. She just wanted to hear his opinion. After thinking for a while, he said, "Find a family and support them to fill the gap in Fenxiang Valley! If there is a chance, replace him."
What he was thinking about was the great calamity caused by the Beast God, which had brought Fenxiang Valley into a state of decline.
"That's not what I'm talking about. Fenxiang Valley has been passed down for eight hundred years. How can it be destroyed just like that?" Lu Xueqi rubbed her forehead with a headache.
He continued, "Our trip to Fenxiang Valley is very dangerous. Shangguan Ce and Yun Yilan are..."
Suddenly, Lu Xueqi reacted. No matter how powerful they were, she couldn't attack them openly. She could only collude with the barbarians in southern Xinjiang.
"I understand what you mean."
The two of them working together might not be afraid of Shangguan Ce. The two of them often practiced with their master, so they probably had an idea of the strength of Tian Buyi and Shuiyue.
With the help of magic weapons and foundation, it may be possible for him to defeat it!
The two said no more and went back into the hall. As soon as they entered, they saw two people, Zhang Xiaofan and Jin Ping'er.
The four of them didn't say anything, but Lu Xueqi secretly drew out the Tianya Sword.
Murong Ji held down Lu Xueqi's hand and said slowly, "Shall we cooperate? Explore Fenxiang Valley together?"
"Hehe, the genius of the righteous path actually wants to cooperate with me, a monster from the evil sect, to explore the Fenxiang Valley which belongs to the same righteous path?" Jin Ping'er's voice was charming, making people's hearts itch.
Murong Ji smiled and said, "Forget it, I'm afraid you'll trick me."
As he spoke, he took Lu Xueqi's hand and walked towards the outside of the ancient temple. After a few steps, the sound of breaking air was heard rapidly.
Murong Ji was startled, and he and Lu Xueqi hid themselves instantly.
Lü Shun went and came back...
"Please come out and see me, Mr. Expert!"
There was no movement, so Lu Shun could only keep searching room by room. When he saw signs of habitation in the side hall, his face darkened.
After searching the entire ancient temple, there was no one in sight. "Forget it, forget it!"
Saying that, he turned and left.
Murong Ji grabbed Lu Xueqi who was about to go out, and after waiting for a while, Lu Shun made a surprise counterattack.
When Lü Shun left again, Murong Ji heard Lu Xueqi mutter, "Old fox!"
He smiled slightly, ignored Zhang Xiaofan and the other two, and quietly left with Lu Xueqi.
Zhang Xiaofan thought about it for a moment, then started to chase after him.
As he flew, Murong Ji turned his head and looked at the two figures following him, but he ignored them.
After landing on the back mountain of Fenxiang Valley, Murong Ji identified that this should be the Xuanhuo Altar.
Coincidentally, they went to the Xuanhuo Altar.
In the following days, Murong Ji had been making preparations. The two of them did not force their way into Fenxiang Valley. A large sect with 800 existing sects would not be easily invaded, so they needed to be fully prepared.
Two days later, Xiao Yicai and Fashang led their people into Fenxiang Valley. Murong Ji stood in the jungle and watched them enter the Fenxiang Valley, then turned and left.
At night, Murong Ji built a fire in the woods, put a pot on it, stewed some vegetables, and ate them with Lu Xueqi with great relish.
"click"
The sound of branches breaking was heard. Lu Xueqi paused with her chopsticks and looked into the depths of the jungle with a frown.
Soon, two figures walked out, Zhang Xiaofan and Jin Ping'er.
Zhang Xiaofan carried two roasted rabbits and sat next to Murong Ji, placing the rabbits next to the fire.
Watching Lu Xueqi slowly draw out the Tianya Sword, he said, "Senior Sister Lu, I have no ill intentions. I just want to use the means of Senior Brother Seven to enter the Fenxiang Valley."
Jin Ping'er sat on the other side of Murong Ji, very close to him, and they seemed quite intimate.
Murong Ji glanced at her coldly, took out a knife to cut the rabbit meat, and then handed some to Lu Xueqi.
The four of them said nothing else.
On the third day, Murong Ji watched as a large number of people from Fenxiang Valley were pulled out of Fenxiang Valley, along with Xiao Yicai and others who were also pulled out of the Death Pass.
“They’re starting to make their move.”
Lu Xueqi had a worried look on her face. She knew how difficult it was to explore the situation in the Ten Thousand Mountains. The land was vast and rich in resources. No matter how many people were sent there, they would all be drowned in the Ten Thousand Mountains.
"I just hope the situation isn't as bad as I imagined."
Zhang Xiaofan and Jin Ping'er looked at them with some curiosity, their faces full of confusion, as if what they said was very serious.
Murong Ji was silent for a long time. There were many more monsters in the Ten Thousand Mountains than they had imagined. It was not just talk that they could sweep across the world.
"Let's take action tonight."
At night, Murong Ji lit a fire from the upwind direction, threw a bag of herbs into the fire, and then waited quietly.
After it got dark, before they could take action, Fenxiang Valley itself became chaotic, the sound of bells continued to fluctuate, and countless figures in the Fenxiang Valley below moved towards various defense lines.
The speed is astonishing.
Without further ado, Murong Ji and his three companions quietly sneaked into Fenxiang Valley.
Inside the valley, actually it’s not really a valley, this is the residence of all the disciples of Fenxiang Valley.
