Chapter 405: Instant Killing Zhang Ran, How long are you going to hold me?
The thousand-foot cliff is not an isolated place. A yellow river runs across the north and south. The river water is surging and exudes a fishy smell.
This was originally an underground river, but it was only after the Black Jade Qilin's sword shattered the mountains above it that it came into view.
There is no grass growing by the river, and only piles of black rocks. Compared with the holy land of Peach Blossom Land above, this place is quite depressing and desolate. Even the Yellow River is frightening.
Ji Mengli's face was pale as she sat cross-legged beside a rock. Her palms were pressed on the heads of the two assassins. Strands of blood and energy were drawn out, and the injured bodies were nourished by the blood and energy and gradually recovered.
By the time the blood and energy were completely absorbed, the two dead warriors had turned into rotten mummies and were blown into pieces by the breeze.
"call……"
Ji Mengli breathed a sigh of relief, her red eyes full of resentment. The black jade Qilin was really powerful, and the three of them couldn't fight against it together, and were even knocked off the cliff.
But if it weren't for Lu Zhan's huge rock, how could she have been injured so badly?
That bastard always kicks someone when he's down.
It was a pity that she only brought four death warriors with her, two of whom died at the hands of the Black Jade Qilin, and two more had their essence devoured by her. Now she was completely alone.
Xuanque and Zhang Ran were also in a bad situation.
For cultivators to devour the essence of other cultivators' blood and energy to replenish their bodies is the act of evil demons. Normally, Zhang Ran and Xuan Que would not bother to do so, at least on the surface.
But today the situation is urgent and the two can't care so much. Fortunately, none of them are good people, so they simply let go and use the blood and energy of their subordinates to repair their injuries.
Anyway, no one is around to see it.
After his injured body had almost recovered, Xuanque swept away the mummified corpse of the peacock spirit, still feeling a lingering fear:
"I didn't expect the Mirage Secret Realm to be so dangerous. This is just the outer edge of the secret realm, and there are such powerful things. It must be even more dangerous inside... I am a little curious, what is hidden inside..."
Xuanque looked into the depths of the secret realm and could only see numerous mountains and the depressing sky.
Zhang Ran had mixed feelings. He was happy that this place was so strange and evil, which meant that the power of the mirage demon might really exist, and he had a chance to absorb the power to strengthen himself.
What I am worried about is that the danger here is beyond our control and it might be difficult to travel.
The most important thing is that the people of Chaofeng City may have been affected by the secret realm. The royal family of Southern Xinjiang will definitely investigate the matter thoroughly, and it will be difficult for him to remain unscathed. However, with the protection of the saint, it should not be a big problem, and he should be able to continue to be the dean of Wutong Academy.
Zhang Ran was thinking about many things and looked at Ji Mengli:
"Our Master is truly capable. If he hadn't stopped the Black Jade Qilin's divine consciousness, we would be in an even more miserable state than we are now."
Although Xuan Que was extremely unhappy with Lu Zhan, he was also very surprised:
"He looks ordinary, but I didn't expect him to be a powerful figure. But why haven't I heard of his title before? The number of cultivators in Southern Xinjiang is declining, and there must be only a handful of such outstanding people in Southern Xinjiang. Why is he so quiet?"
"..."
Ji Mengli forced a smile. In this situation, she could only grit her teeth and swallow her anger. She said:
"Master likes to travel around the world and doesn't like the vortex of power, so his identity is always kept secret. In addition, he travels around the Central Plains for many years and rarely returns to Southern Xinjiang, so not many people know his name."
When Xuanque heard the word "Central Plains", he immediately became interested and said as he walked:
"The Central Plains is a place of outstanding people and beautiful scenery. It is a first-class place. I have always wanted to travel to the Central Plains, but unfortunately my father would not allow it, saying that the Central Plains is very dangerous..."
Now that the three of them have recovered, they naturally have to leave this cliff. The secret realms are all connected, and if you follow the underground river, you will probably find the exit.
Although Zhang Ran disliked Xuan Que, at this moment only the three of them could have a chance of winning if they joined forces, so he took the opportunity to continue the conversation:
"What the Peacock King said is correct. The Central Plains is blessed with talented people, but it is also full of fighting. All the Central Plains geniuses are fierce in their methods. Some time ago, there was a young man named Lu Zhan who was even more ruthless... It is said that he appears to be a gentleman, but in fact he is evil and has lost all conscience even more than the evil cultivators. He is the representative of the Central Plains geniuses."
Ji Mengli rarely showed emotions in front of the two of them, but at this moment her voice was a little excited, and she couldn't help but agree: "Indeed!"
Xuan Que felt that the two were exaggerating. There were indeed many geniuses in the Central Plains, but Peacock Mountain had a profound foundation. Even if he met that genius Lu, he might be able to defeat him.
Although Southern Xinjiang is not as vast as the Middle Earth, it is not to be trifled with.
Xuan Que thought of this and asked hypocritically, "Don't mention Zhongyuan. Let's think about the current situation first. Your Highness, do you want to go up and help the old senior?"
Even though he hated Lu Zhan in his heart, he still had to do some face-saving work.
Ji Mengli wished that Lu Zhan would be killed by the Black Jade Qilin, so she naturally refused. She said, "Let's leave this place quickly and not hold our master back."
"Alright."
The three flew along the Yellow River for more than ten miles and finally flew out of this cliff. The valley ahead was lush and green, the sky was clear blue, and the stream was clear and bright, but they could faintly hear the sound of fighting.
It seems that there are cultivators fighting.
Xuan Que's eyes lit up: "Could it be that we have turned a disaster into a blessing, and there are treasures ahead?"
As soon as he finished speaking, he saw a figure jumping out of the valley ahead, holding a spear in his hand and a jade tube in his left hand. The jade tube was glittering, and it was obviously not an ordinary item.
Zhang Ran hurriedly spread his divine sense and said, "This thing has a powerful aura, it's extraordinary!"
Xuan Que narrowed his eyes and looked at the figure holding the jade tube.
The figure was dressed in a black robe and looked heroic, with black hair tied up in a high ponytail and a face that was charming but not pretty. She was the hateful woman who had humiliated him at the entrance to the secret realm.
It was Tushan Shiyu.
Xuan Que's face was grim, and he attacked Tushan Shiyu without saying a word. He did not hesitate at all, and his attack was fierce, and the sky was instantly filled with true energy.
In the secret realm, the strong have the final say. Getting the treasure is not a skill, but being able to keep it is.
Zhang Ran did not move, but looked at Ji Mengli: "Your Majesty, what do you say?"
Ji Mengli stared at the glittering jade tube and said softly:
"It is rumored that when a great man falls, his divine power will not dissipate. It is very likely to form many mysterious treasures, and even record his life's skills. If you can get it, you will benefit a lot..."
Zhang Ran immediately understood Ji Mengli's meaning, which was exactly what he wanted. His grey robe fluttered as he said softly:
"No air space within a ten-foot radius!"
Ji Mengli took out her flute and played it. The sound of the flute was like crying and complaining. The little purple snake coiled on her arm suddenly transformed into a giant python and attacked Tushan Shiyu.
……
"unlucky…"
Tushan Shiyu snatched the jade tube from dozens of cultivators and was about to fly away when suddenly the surroundings trembled slightly. She seemed to be stuck in a quagmire and it was difficult for her to perform the art of flying.
At the same time, colorful rays of light gathered together and enveloped her head.
The purple python opened its bloody mouth and a strong wind blew up.
Tushan Shiyu threw the jade tube into the storage ring and calmed down instantly. She raised her red lips slightly and shouted:
"Unbelievable!"
Facing three masters, Tushan Shiyu didn't bother to disguise his identity. His violent true energy moved like thunder and instantly poured into the gun.
The seemingly ordinary spear suddenly shone brightly, and a heart-pounding force emanated from the spear, like the pressure emanating from heaven and earth, which was irresistible and swept Xuan Que and Zhang Ran away in an instant.
"Om-"
The terrifying energy emitted by the spear shattered the surrounding space. Xuanque only felt his flesh and blood twisted and there was a sharp pain as if he was being torn apart. Fortunately, at the critical moment, the five-colored divine feathers shone brightly and blocked Tushan Shiyu's fatal blow.
Zhang Ran was not feeling well either. His words backfired upon him. If he had not brought the Twelve Golden Books of Wutong Academy with him for self-defense, he would have been even more seriously injured.
"Ow!!"
The purple python was hit by the gunlight and was turned into ashes.
Ji Mengli looked at the girl in mid-air with a serious expression: "Tianyin Dicheng Spear, you are... Qingqiu Shiyu?!"
When Ji Mengli was the elder of Black Water, she also wanted to expand her power to the Qingqiu royal family. Unfortunately, Princess Qingqiu was brave and good at fighting, and was also good at managing the country, so she had no idea where to start.
Because of this, she had some understanding of Qingqiu Shiyu.
The Tianyin Dicheng Spear is a divine weapon made by the ancient Nine-Tailed Fox and the Dragon and Phoenix tribes, and it is extremely powerful. When such a treasure appears in the world, any family with a little background can recognize the origin of this spear.
Tushan Shiyu originally came to southern Xinjiang under an assumed name, hoping to search for the magic stone in a low-key manner, but unfortunately plans could not keep up with changes.
This Saintess of Southern Border with unstable aura is not to be feared, but Zhang Ran and Xuan Que both have magic weapons to protect themselves, and they are both powerful men in the realm of creation. If she continues to hide her abilities, she will probably be consumed.
The best way is to try your best to strike and scare the opponent first.
Hearing Ji Mengli's suspicious tone, Tushan Shiyu looked down at her with a domineering look in his eyes and said in a cold voice: "Since you know who I am, why don't you get out of the way?"
Xuan Que took the elixir to heal his wounds. Although he was shocked, he did not panic. He sneered:
"No wonder they dared to humiliate me in public. I didn't expect they were from Qingqiu! So what if it's Qingqiu? I, Peacock Mountain, am not someone you can mess with!"
Although Xuanque is arrogant, he is not incompetent.
He had previously shown off his might in front of the cultivators because he knew that those cultivators could not do anything to him, so he did things without any scruples.
When will elephants care about what ants think?
Now that Tushan Shiyu was so powerful, Xuanque naturally felt a little afraid in his heart, but he also sensed that there were dozens of auras approaching this side.
The direction these cultivators were heading was the direction from which Tushan Shiyu came.
If he guessed correctly, these cultivators were probably the group that had just fought with Tushan Shiyu for the jade tube. Since they were all coming for Tushan Shiyu, why should he be afraid of Tushan Shiyu?
as predicted.
Dozens of cultivators arrived in an instant and surrounded Tushan Shiyu. The scene suddenly became serious.
Zhang Ran steadied his breath, assumed an immortal-like demeanor, and said in a deep voice:
"You all came at the right time. This girl is a demon from the fox clan. How can a mere demon show off her power in the southern border? Why don't we join forces to kill the demon first? As for who gets the jade tube, I will never interfere!"
As the dean of Wutong Academy, Zhang Ran is extremely good at public speaking. In just a few words, he elevated the fight for the treasure to the level of humans and demons.
The cultivators did not say anything, but looked towards Xuanque not far away.
Xuan Que frowned and said unhappily, "Why are you looking at me? We are the auspicious beasts of Peacock Mountain. How can a fox demon compare to us?"
Having said that, Xuan Que glared at Zhang Ran. The way this old Deng spoke was really speechless. Wasn't he scolding him as well?
"..."
Ji Mengli pursed her lips slightly. She knew very well that even if Zhang Ran was highly respected, it would be difficult to persuade these cultivators just by relying on his own face. She then took a few steps and spoke in a clear voice:
"What Mr. Zhang said is correct. All of us in Southern Xinjiang are heroes. No matter who obtains the treasure, we cannot tolerate it falling into the hands of evildoers."
All the monks were somewhat tempted.
Zhang Ran is highly respected in Southern Xinjiang and has a lot of say. The Saint is the light of Southern Xinjiang and has a high status. The cultivators in Southern Xinjiang also respect them very much.
Now that even they said so, the monks naturally preferred southern Xinjiang.
not to mention.
This jade tube is very extraordinary. It is very likely to record the magic skills of the Mirage Demon. Even if it is not the skills, it must be other treasures. Now that there is a chance to fight for it, everyone is naturally eager to move.
"Tsk..." Tushan Shiyu was cautious and calm in his heart, but his eyes swept across everyone with mockery, and his expression was a little lazy:
