Chapter 34: Round-up in the Jungle
After calming down, Su Aotian began to think about his situation.
Zhao Yuhao's threat before his death seemed to be true, Tianjian Sect didn't know what means, he could find out some information about his disciple's death, most of them were known by Tianjian Sect, maybe someone would come soon, and he had to leave this place as soon as possible. It seems that Yuan Wucheng can't go back, but he doesn't know where to go now. Zhao Yuhao was a guest in Lingcui Villa, but he died here, Lingcui Villa is bound to be afraid of Tianjianzong's blame, in order to shirk responsibility, I am afraid that he will spare no effort to pursue himself, not to mention that Aunt Liu and Yun Mei are very close to Zhao Yuhao. Thinking of this, I couldn't help but sigh secretly, it was really a wrong decision to stay in Lingcui Villa, and now I am in trouble.
People have been killed, regret is useless, Su Aotian cleaned up the chaotic mood, explored the direction, to the east is to return to Yuanwu City, that is absolutely impossible to go, to the west is Lingcui Villa, of course, you can't go to the dead end. Nowadays, there are only two ways to go south, to the north and to the north. Looking far away, to the north is a vast plain, unobstructed, not easy to hide, to the south of the distance like a forest, the moment to pull out the feet to the south to rush to the south.
With his present footsteps, he hurried for five or six hours before he could vaguely see the edge of the woods. At this moment, I heard a sound behind me, and when I looked back, there were several rays of light shining in the sky in the distance, and it looked like a monk was flying with an imperial object. His heart sank: "It's not good, could it be that the people of Lingcui Villa have already found out that Zhao Yuhao is dead, so they have come to search?" Thinking of this, he hurriedly turned around and rushed towards the woods.
After running for a while, he heard the sound of the wind behind him, and someone chased after him, and at the same time heard the shouting: "Stop, who are you, why are you here?" Su Aotian didn't answer, just ran wildly. Suddenly, the wind was loud, and a huge force was rapidly approaching from behind, and it turned out that the pursuers had already attacked.
Su Aotian's heart moved, and he didn't turn around to resist, and when that huge force was able to reach his body, he jumped forward with all his strength. When the pursuers saw him, they thought he had been hit, and immediately swooped down from the air, intending to capture him alive.
I saw that Su Aotian's body was straight, but he fell to the ground safely, his back clothes were torn, and he didn't even have a flesh wound, it turned out that he relied on his strong body to bear this blow, not only that, but also took advantage of this strength, and jumped forward seventy or eighty zhang, and opened up the distance from the pursuer.
The man was about to fall to the ground, but suddenly saw that after Su Aotian landed, he actually ran out at a faster speed, and was very surprised, hurriedly flew up again, and delayed a little, Su Aotian had already run more than 150 zhang away, and he was about to run into the woods.
This person was in a hurry, pursed his lips and howled, sending out a signal to inform his companions, and at the same time hastily cast a magical power called "water jiu-jitsu", which is a bondage supernatural power, turning into a cloud of mist, trapping people inside, and then attacking. But he heard the sound of "wave", this "water jiu-jitsu" didn't trap Su Aotian for a moment, and he rushed out of this mist all of a sudden, without even slowing down.
This person wanted to attack, but it was too late, and Su Aotian had already rushed into the woods.
The man thought for a moment, left a mark outside the forest, and chased him into the woods.
He was cautious, first condensed a water shield with his spiritual energy, protected the front, held the long sword in his hand, and released his divine sense to investigate. As soon as he entered the forest, he noticed a person standing not far in front of him, and he couldn't help but be stunned, and he couldn't tell for a moment whether the person he was chasing just now had not run far, or if there was someone else, so he felt that a black shadow had come forward with great speed.
He immediately used the aura of his whole body wildly, poured it into the water shield in front of him, and the sword was in motion, once the water shield blocked the enemy, the offensive would be launched, so as not to give the enemy a chance.
Although the idea was good, the response was extremely correct and impeccable, but what happened happened was beyond his expectations.
As expected, the black shadow crashed into the water shield and exploded with a loud bang, but unfortunately it did not block the black shadow, but the water shield collapsed, and the black shadow had already pounced into his arms.
Before he could figure out what was going on, he didn't know how many hits he had taken all over his body, and he fell to the ground, only then did he feel a sharp pain all over his body, and he didn't know how many bones had been broken.
Pity this pursuer, that is, the cultivation of the seventh or eighth stage of qi refining, is far inferior to Zhao Yuhao, and before he could see Su Aotian's appearance clearly, he was beaten and lost his ability to resist.
Su Aotian dragged him like a dead dog and quickly fled deep into the woods.
When they reached a secret place, they stopped and interrogated carefully.
This person has been completely defeated, and it didn't take much to ask Su Aotian about the current situation.
It turned out that after Yun Mei ran back to Lingcui Villa in a panic, she first wanted to find Zhao Yuhao and tell him what happened, so as to clarify the misunderstanding. Unexpectedly, he didn't find it, so he went to ask Qing'er and learned that Zhao Yuhao went out with him. She informed Qing'er of the killing of Su Aotian, and the two thought that Zhao Yuhao probably knew what happened and should come back immediately, so they waited patiently in the villa. Unexpectedly, three or four hours passed, and Zhao Yuhao was not heard from at all. Yun Mei never imagined that Zhao Yuhao had been killed by Su Aotian, and thought that Zhao Yuhao had returned to Tianjianzong, and was afraid that Zhao Yuhao would still have any misunderstanding about her, so she had no choice but to go down to find Aunt Liu. This Aunt Liu's name is Zhao Chenliu, and she is Zhao Yuhao's aunt, but she found a Taoist companion in Lingcui Villa. Zhao Yuhao also came with a foundation-building monk of Tianjian Sect, named Zhuang Wen, Zhao Chenliu went to inquire about Zhuang Wen, and he did not know Zhao Yuhao's whereabouts. Only then did he become suspicious, and sent Zhuang Ding and his disciples to go out to look for him, and soon found Zhao Yuhao's body. This is also because Su Aotian has no experience, and he can't get home when he destroys corpses and destroys traces. Then there is Su Aotian's deep hatred for Zhao Yuhao's careless approach to human life, so he simply let him expose the corpse in the wilderness, and he didn't want to clean up the aftermath for him at all.
Finding that Zhao Yuhao died unexpectedly, this surprise was not trivial, Lingcui Villa immediately jumped up, and all the people below the Jiedan monk were dispatched, with Lingcui Villa as the center, to carry out an all-round seamless search, and expand the search range in a circle. This person happened to see that Su Aotian was about to run into the woods, and when he saw that he couldn't even fly the imperial object, he must be a low-level monk, and it was not a high-level monk, so he chased after him with confidence, but unexpectedly he was planted in Su Aotian's hands.
Although this situation had been expected, Lingcui Villa knew about Zhao Yuhao's death so quickly, which still made Su Aotian feel that the situation was more severe than he imagined. With his current cultivation, he can't deal with it just as a foundation-building monk, let alone the Lingcui Villa where the Jiedan monk is in charge, not to mention the behemoth like the Tianjian Sect, which is a legendary Yuanying monk! It's a little inexplicable to think about it, he just talked to a female cultivator in the Qi refining period twice, and he actually attracted such a powerful enemy, which made Su Aotian resentful of the sect and the family's bullying style.
After thinking for a while, Su Aotian said in his heart: "The matter is not because of me, you Tianjian Sect has to add the crime to people's desires, can't I resist, I can only kill you by the neck?" If you want to kill me, then you have to see how many lives you have!"
secretly thought that he had killed two people in half a day, and he also took away their storage bags, this murder and treasure snatching seemed to be more and more convenient. Holding this storage bag, I tried to sweep it with my divine sense, and I felt that there was a layer of obstacle, and I couldn't enter, thinking that the master had said that storage bags are generally forbidden by monks, and I hadn't learned how to crack it, so I saw that my divine sense was blocked, so I tried to slowly strengthen the detection of my divine sense, and vaguely felt that there was some loosening, and my divine sense seemed to be able to invade, so I slowly became careful and continued to pressurize. After a while, the sudden sensory barrier was gone, and he had entered the storage space. I thought to myself, "Could it be that the Divine Sense can break the ban?"
The prohibition of the monks is actually a wonderful use of the divine sense. A monk with a high level of cultivation can use his divine sense to covertly seal off a space and isolate other external information and interference, thus forming a prohibition. Prohibitions are generally imposed by monks with their own tricks, which allow others to enter. I don't know this trick, so I can only forcibly break the ban, and there is a danger in it. Forcibly breaking the ban, the competition is the divine consciousness, unless your divine consciousness is much higher than the person who is under the ban, otherwise it may hurt the divine consciousness. Once the divine consciousness is injured, it will inevitably damage the divine soul, and under normal circumstances, the monk will try to avoid it.
Su Aotian didn't know the danger, but his divine soul was a little higher than that of this Qi Refining Cultivator, and it was effortless to break his prohibition. This monk's storage bag was much larger than Zhou Quanfeng's, but there weren't many things, only a bunch of spirit coins, which seemed to be one or two thousand, and a few pieces of metal and the like. Su Aotian couldn't help but be disappointed: "Why is it that the disciples of this Lingcui Villa are poorer than Zhou Quanfeng?" As everyone knows, the disciples of these sect families rely on the support of the sect for their cultivation resources, as long as they cultivate, they can naturally receive suitable cultivation things, and they don't have to be like casual cultivation, not to mention the hard work and accumulation, they have to bring all the furniture with them at all times.
Thinking that Zhao Yuhao kept saying that he was a genius disciple of the Tianjian Sect and should be richer than this captive, he took out Zhao Yuhao's storage bag, and under the investigation of his divine sense, it didn't take much effort to open it. When I went in, the space was not as big as Zhou Quanfeng's storage bag, and it was similar to my own disillusioned fox skin.
muttered in his heart: "Why is the storage bag of this famous sect not as good as a small sect?" Could it be that this Zhao Yuhao is boasting?"
I saw that in the small space, there were shelves on all sides of the wall, holding many items. There was a large pile of colorful medicinal herbs on one shelf, seven or eight jade bottles, all of which contained pills of different colors. A shelf near the corner was stacked with miscellaneous items such as metal and jade, at least a dozen of them. The spirit coin has the appearance of two or three hundred thousand, occupying the shelf in another corner, and there are two stones on the top layer, one is green in color and the other is dark yellow. Su Aotian looked carefully and found that these two stones exuded a rich aura, one was a wood aura, and the other was an earth aura. He didn't know about it, and wondered in his heart: "Could it be a cultivation tool for the disciples of the sect?"
On the other shelf against the wall were a sword, two scriptures, a brass ring, and four or five yellow sheets of paper. The sword is extremely sharp, it seems to be Zhao Yuhao's weapon, Su Aotian didn't care too much, first looked at the two scriptures, one of the covers said "Eight Desolations and Earth Gong", thinking of Zhao Yuhao's earth-based supernatural powers, it seems that this is his cultivation method. The other has the word "Talisman" written on it. Looking at those papers again, he faintly felt that the spiritual energy was surging inside, as if something was sealed, and he said secretly: "These should be the rune papers that Brother Mo told me, he said that the disciples of famous sects often carry this kind of rune paper for self-protection, which is usually refined by the elders of the sect, and there is a spell or magic power sealed inside, which is extremely powerful." "When I saw that copper ring, it was beautifully made, and there was a faint flow of treasure light in it, and I didn't know what it was. His divine sense was extremely keen, and he vaguely felt that this thing was more powerful than those rune papers, and suddenly remembered a thing, and couldn't help but "bang" in his heart: "Could it be a magic weapon?"
It turned out that he remembered the auction in Hongwu City that day, and the last magic weapon was a ring, and he still remembered the fierce bidding of the magic weapon called the Ice Silver Ring, and the shock when it was finally sold for fifteen million spirit coins. Seeing this thing now, I vaguely feel that the deterrence in it is similar to the ice silver ring.
Thinking of this, he hurriedly took out the copper ring, remembered the appearance of Lin Pingtao, the host of the auction that day, urging the magic weapon, and slowly injected the aura. At first, like a mud cow entering the sea, there was no sound, he continued to increase the aura, until the aura of the whole body was able to operate to the extreme, only to see that the copper ring began to slowly glow, and a wave of aura fluctuations slowly revealed out.
At this moment, I was ecstatic: "This is really a magic weapon!" Thinking of the power of the ice silver ring that day, although the cold air only revealed a little, but he almost froze himself to death on the spot, and he was very expectant: "I don't know how powerful this magic weapon is?"
I don't know if I don't know it, I was startled when I saw it, I killed these two people, and before I knew it, my net worth became rich: "I'm just going back to Hongwu City now, I'm afraid I'm just a little rich man, right? Killing people and seizing treasures is really lucrative, no wonder the monks love this way." Unconsciously taken aback by his own thoughts: "Didn't I fall in love with this way of making money?" looked at the four storage bags on his body, large and small, and couldn't help but feel a little nerve-wracking, it was too dazzling to hang on his body, and he was reluctant to throw away a few.
Suddenly, there was an idea: "Can't you put a storage bag in the storage bag?" Hurriedly took out the four storage bags on his body, and finally got the largest storage bag space, so he wanted to put Zhou Quanfeng's storage bag in. Unexpectedly, after loading it, the storage bag did not move at all, and it couldn't be put in. I tried the other two smaller storage bags, but it didn't work.
I was very depressed: "It seems that it won't work, do you have to throw away the excess?" The divine sense swept around in several storage bags, and unconsciously tried again, and suddenly the storage bag made by the disillusioned fox disappeared all of a sudden, and when I looked at it again, it had been placed in Zhao Yuhao's storage bag, floating slightly in the middle. As soon as his consciousness moved, the storage bag floated to a shelf and fell. When I checked it with my divine sense, the things inside were also in good shape, and there was no shortage of them.
This time it was unexpected: "The big storage bag can't fit in, how can this small storage bag fit instead?" and tried to put Zhou Quanfeng's storage bag inside, and it was also smoothly put in, and then put the largest storage bag in, there was no problem. The three storage bags sit side by side on the shelves, and they don't seem to take up much space.
There is some realization in his heart: "It seems that the famous family is indeed extraordinary, Zhao Yuhao's storage bag is only afraid that it is higher than other storage bags!" He didn't know that after the monk cultivated to a high level, the method of refining storage items would become more and more exquisite, the real powerful monk, refining the storage items, can be loaded with mountains and seas, picking stars and hiding the moon, the so-called "Na Sumeru in mustard seeds", nothing more than that, it can't be called a storage bag, it is simply a magic weapon. Zhao Yuhao's storage bag only has a "folding space" function, that is, there is space in the space, so it can accommodate other storage items, and the other three storage bags do not have this function.
The four storage bags became one, and the appearance was small and not dazzling at all, Su Aotian was very happy. Thinking that there had been a delay here, the people of Lingcui Villa and Tianjian Sect were chasing him, and he had to plan early, so he dug a big pit, buried the captive deeply, and then made some traces on the ground to hide people's eyes, and quietly walked towards the depths of the dense forest.
At this time, the people of Lingcui Villa had already come to the place where Su Aotian and the monk were chasing into the forest outside the dense forest, and found the mark left by the man. After a while, two foundation building monks came one after another, discussed a little, and left two people to answer the latecomers, and the remaining people were divided into two groups, and the two foundation building monks each brought a group, and went into the forest to search separately. In the following day, fifty or sixty follow-up people came one after another, and there were seven or eight foundation building monks, and Zhao Chenliu and Zhuang Wen were also among them. As a result, the search team increased to more than 10 groups. Three days later, the owner of Lingcui Villa accompanied the five elders of the Tianjian Sect to arrive, and the coercion of the two Jiedan monks shocked all the low-level monks and did not dare to breathe. The fifth elder relayed the rumors of the sect and learned that Su Aotian was a male cultivator in the fourth stage of qi refining, and this time he confirmed the identity of Su Aotian's murderer. It's just that everyone is puzzled as to how he can kill a famous disciple of the ninth stage of qi refining.
Under the command of Brother Jidan, the last group of ten search parties also entered the dense forest. At this point, there were more than 20 teams of monks who surrounded and suppressed Su Aotian, with a total of nearly 200 people, including 12 foundation building monks, and the rest were disciples who had been refining qi for more than seven years. Monks below the seventh stage of Qi refining patrolled both sides of the edge of the dense forest, without stopping for twelve hours a day. A large net of search and arrest was opened densely.
