Chapter 124 Just because I Took One More Look at the Crowd

"Fellow Daoist Zhou is really a master of calculation!"

Hearing the noise coming from behind, Fang Shitong, who was escaping with him, was silent for a while and couldn't help but speak.

The others nodded when they heard this.

is not that right?

The first time he told everyone to stop, it might be an accident, but the second time, he once again predicted the danger and avoided it in advance, but it was definitely not an accident.

He must have real abilities.

It is not an exaggeration to say that the gods have clever calculations.

Zhou Changwang did not reply. He was about to take a few people to take a detour. Suddenly Qian Xiaoyue suddenly spoke and said: "Just now, Sister Shen received news that they were besieged by a group of loose cultivators. Now they are planning to evacuate. Ask us When can we get to Shuiyun Pavilion?"

"You actually still have a sound transmission jade slip on you?"

Lu Weier asked in shock.

"This is what Sister Shen left for me, but it can only be used for a short distance. Beyond a certain distance, it will be useless."

Qian Xiaoyue explained and said.

Hearing this, Zhou Changwang looked around.

The road ahead has been blocked because of the foundation-building battle. The fastest detour will take as long as a stick of incense, and we must guard against possible dangers.

And today's market is a tinderbox. No one knows what will happen during this period.

For now, the best way is to leave Fangshi as soon as possible.

Because of this, Zhou Changwang pondered slightly, and then said decisively: "Tell Senior Shen that we have our own way. We will meet at Shilipo outside Fangshi later and let them be careful along the way."

"The distance from here to the outside of Fang City is not short. There are fighting and fighting everywhere in Fang City, and we may be affected at any time... There are only four of us, can we not join up with Senior Shen and the others?"

Lu Weier asked with a worried look.

Others also have concerns.

Fortunately, I haven't encountered any late-stage qi-training monks, but if I did, their safety would be difficult to guarantee.

Therefore, in their hearts, they naturally thought it would be safer to gather with Shen Xinyue and other people from Shuiyun Pavilion.

"Don't worry, just follow me."

Zhou Changwang said, calmly using the derivation technique again.

In an instant, dangers of all sizes were clearly revealed in front of him on the route ahead.

Then, he took the lead and rushed forward quickly.

When others saw this, although they were a little confused, they couldn't argue.

Zhou Changwang kept going all the way. Under the derivation technique, he could immediately detect any danger around him. Even if it was inevitable, he could still choose a path with the least danger.

Soon, Fang Shitong and others were surprised to find that they had encountered few monks and few battles along the way.

But it was clearly not far away, and the atmosphere of fighting was strong. From time to time, talisman spells were bombarded, and the sound of shattering protective formations could be heard.

But the danger seemed to be deliberately avoiding them.

Even if he accidentally encountered a murderous monk, after seeing the four of them, he would still look wary and would not dare to take action.

really.

The strength of the four of them is actually not weak.

There are three middle stages of Qi training and one is in the early stage of Qi training. Unless they are late stage monks, they generally belong to the middle stage of Qi training and do not dare to act rashly.

As for the later monks who are above the seventh level of Qi training?

They have never encountered it at all.

Even if they saw it from a distance, the other party didn't seem to notice their group at all, and quickly ran in the other direction.

So, half a stick of incense passed by, and they didn't encounter any battle.

"This is, South Block?"

Fang Shitong saw the surrounding environment and couldn't help but ask.

“This place is even further away from Fangshi.

And I remember there is no road leading outside Fangshi, right? "

Lu Weier also asked with some confusion.

On the contrary, Qian Xiaoyue did not speak out of trust in Zhou Changwang.

"Of course I know.

At the end of South Street, there is a cliff. The bottom of the cliff is actually no longer within the scope of the city. "

Zhou Changwang couldn't help but said.

"But that cliff is more than sixty feet high, and I heard it's very steep. Unless you really practice foundation building, no one can enter or exit from that direction.

Even a ninth-level qi-training monk would die if he fell from such a height. "

Lu Weier couldn't help but hesitate.

"Fellow Daoist Zhou must have a way, although I don't know what it is."

On the contrary, Fang Shitong was much calmer and spoke.

"Of course."

While talking, the group of them arrived not far from Zhou Changwang's residence.

South Street, especially the area where Zhou Changwang lives, is relatively remote because it is at the end of the street. Therefore, although the guard formation was broken here, the traces of the battle are not heavy.

When Zhou Changwang and others arrived at the door of his small courtyard, Zhou Changwang breathed a sigh of relief and quickly opened the door when he saw that the courtyard guarding formation was still intact.

A group of people couldn't help but walked in smoothly.

"Is this the residence of fellow Daoist Zhou?"

Fang Shitong asked in astonishment.

"That's right."

Zhou Changwang nodded, and quickly led a group of people into the secret practice room, saying: "Here, I specially dug a secret passage leading to the mountainside of this cliff.

Through the secret passage, we can escape directly to the bottom of the cliff, and we can escape from the city smoothly. With such high mountains and vast seas, there is no danger.

When the time comes, we just need to meet up with Senior Shen and the others at Shilipo. "

As they talked, the group entered the secret room for cultivation.

The first thing that caught their eyes was the huge magic wall.

There were also traces of cracks on the magic wall.

"Is this the forbidden spirit stone?

How come it is so badly damaged?"

As he spoke, Fang Shitong looked at Zhou Changwang in astonishment and asked, "Is this caused by Brother Zhou's spell?"

Qian Xiaoyue and Lu Weiler on the side also noticed this magic wall, as well as some spiritual fluctuations and magic auras that were still faintly left in the room.

"It is a magic wall made of forbidden spirit stone. It is indeed very useful in practicing magic.

It's a pity that it can no longer be used.

However, this scene was not caused by me.

I moved in like this. "

Zhou Changwang said calmly, and then came to another secret room for cultivation. With a flick of his hand, an underground passage was revealed.

"The concentration of spiritual energy here is so abundant?

No wonder Brother Zhou's realm has also improved so quickly. "

Lu Weier took a deep breath and said in surprise again.

Compared with her original courtyard, the concentration of spiritual energy here is at least twice as high as that of the original courtyard.

If she had stayed in such an environment to cultivate, perhaps her cultivation would be able to break through to the fourth level of Qi training and become a cultivator in the middle stage of Qi training.

"After all, this is the southern district, and there is also a small spiritual vein node. The concentration of spiritual energy is indeed much higher.

However, the rent here is not cheap. I didn't expect that Brother Zhou would move in directly after moving out of the outer market. "

Fang Shitong on the side couldn't help but speak, looking at Zhou Changwang thoughtfully.

"It's a pity that I only lived here for half a year and had to move out again.

However, the safety here is indeed much better than the outer market.

The outer area is full of people, which is too dangerous. Maybe the neighbor next door is a robber cultivator or an evil cultivator who kills people and steals treasures at night.

If you live in that area all the time, you will be worried every day, and you will have trouble sleeping and eating. How can you practice with peace of mind? Fellow Daoist Fang, don’t you think so? "

Zhou Changwang also looked at Fang Shitong, with a smile on his face.

"That's true."

Fang Shitong nodded in approval without changing his expression.

Zhou Changwang looked at him deeply, but didn't say much.

Then, Zhou Changwang took the lead and jumped down the secret passage, followed by Qian Xiaoyue, then Lu Weiler, and finally Fang Shitong.

Going down all the way, Zhou Changwang soon came to the exit halfway down the cliff.

"I'll go down first, and then you come down next. Don't worry, I'll pick you up below, or there's a rope here, you can go down a distance before jumping down."

Zhou Changwang looked at Qian Xiaoyue and said.

"Don't worry, I can do this height. "

Qian Xiaoyue looked down, it was about ten feet high, although she was a little worried, she still said encouragingly.

Nodding, Zhou Changwang then looked at Lu Weiler and Fang Shitong, and said: "After Xiaoyue jumps, it will be Lu Weiler, and finally Fellow Daoist Fang.

Don't worry, I will be there to support you, there will be no danger. "

As he spoke, Zhou Changwang's body flashed with lightness, and he used the light body technique, and then jumped lightly.

As light as a feather, he jumped directly from above.

Soon, he landed smoothly.

The perfect level of light body technique allowed him to always be light, and with his strong physique, there would be no problem.

After Zhou Changwang landed, he immediately looked up and nodded slightly to Qian Xiaoyue.

She gritted her teeth and jumped down as well.

However, compared with Zhou Changwang's perfect light body technique, her light body technique was much weaker, only at the mastery level, so the speed of falling was slightly faster.

Seeing this, Zhou Changwang hurriedly stepped on the ground, his figure quickly climbed up, and after three consecutive steps, he jumped up to three or four feet, caught her steadily, held her in his arms, and then landed lightly.

"Thank you, Brother Zhou."

Qian Xiaoyue blushed and said with her head slightly lowered.

"You're welcome. "

Zhou Changwang said, and quickly raised his head and looked up.

Facing a height of more than ten feet, Lu Weier was obviously a little timid. She was timid, and finally Fang Shitong said something, and finally she walked to the edge of the cliff with courage.

Then, Fang Shitong put his arm around Lu Weier's shoulders, grabbed the rope with one hand, and then jumped lightly.

The magic he used was obviously not the light body technique, but a more advanced middle-grade magic than the light body technique, the flying swallow technique. Although it was only at the mastery level, it was also very light when he jumped down. With the help of the rope, he slid down four or five feet, followed by the force of the rope, and he pulled it slightly, and then stepped on the edge of the cliff.

Suddenly, the two people spun quickly.

The four looked at each other, and there was a romantic atmosphere.

Then they landed on the ground together steadily.

"This place is really out of the market."

After landing, Fang Shitong was also shocked, raised his head and looked into the distance, and said: "It's not far from Shili Slope, and it's directly away from danger. "

As soon as the words fell, a huge rumbling sound suddenly came from the market, which was a silent proof.

"Let's go. "

Then, the group headed directly towards Shilipo.

Because there were only trees and forests, and there were no traces of other cultivators, the group of people relaxed a lot.

Then, after an incense stick, the group appeared in Shilipo.

Because it was still early in the morning, there was no one around.

From a distance, they could see smoke rising in the market, and from time to time they could hear terrifying noises and the sound of spells falling.

Of course, they could also see many cultivators running away from the market.

"This time, it was really too sudden and unexpected.

When Xiaoyue mentioned that the market was about to be in turmoil, I was a little skeptical, and I was still hesitating a few days ago whether to leave with them.

Unexpectedly, this chaos broke out ahead of time.

If it weren't for you, I really don't know what to do?"

Lu Weiler looked at the panic fleeing in the distance, but from time to time someone attacked in public, accompanied by the sound of screams, and couldn't help but sighed.

This time, she really felt like she had survived a disaster.

She was indeed grateful to the three people in her heart.

"Sister Wei'er, you are too polite."

Qian Xiaoyue pulled her hand and said.

"Yes, Fellow Daoist Lu.

Speaking of gratitude, I should thank you.

If you hadn't asked me to go with you, I might still be running around in the market.

In the end, I probably didn't even know how I died."

Fang Shitong also spoke, and then looked at Zhou Changwang and said, "Fellow Daoist Zhou has always been hostile to me. Maybe he discovered something in the past?"

"Huh?"

Zhou Changwang glanced at him and didn't speak.

Qian Xiaoyue's body tensed up, but she moved closer to Zhou Changwang.

In fact, she was the first person to discover Fang Shitong's identity. At this time, they were in the wilderness. The other party was a real sixth-level Qi training cultivator, far better than her and Zhou Changwang. Naturally, she was a little worried.

"I have indeed killed people and robbed treasures before."

After saying this, Lu Wei'er's face changed, and like Qian Xiaoyue, she moved closer to Zhou Changwang.

Although she had been reminded by Qian Xiaoyue before, she had deliberately kept a distance from him for a while, but after a while, she found that he was not as fierce as she imagined, and this time, he saved her, so she actually developed a sense of dependence on him.

But when the other party said this, she recalled Qian Xiaoyue's reminder before, and she was a little scared.

"But I am not the robber cultivator that you think I am."

Seeing this, Fang Shitong smiled bitterly and said quickly: "I wonder if you have heard of the Qingye Alliance?

My junior brother and I actually joined the Qingye Alliance under the leadership of our master a long time ago.

And our main source of income actually comes from accepting some assassination missions in the Qingye Alliance.

However, we don't accept all assassination missions. We usually target those who have a bad reputation, behave badly, and do evil.

At that time, I was still with my junior brother, who was responsible for finding out the news , I was responsible for monitoring the target and making plans.

It has been going quite smoothly, and in fact, it is quite famous in the Divine Wind Valley.

Half a year ago, my junior brother and I accepted the task of assassinating a sixth-level Qi training cultivator. Unexpectedly, we happened to catch up with the Feng family's call to settle in Fengmingwu Market, and the target also came to Fengmingwu Market.

So, we followed and quickly killed the opponent outside the market.

Perhaps, it was that move that caused Brother Zhou to misunderstand? "

"Whether it is a misunderstanding or not, it is not certain."

Zhou Changwang said without comment.

Qian Xiaoyue opened her mouth, wanting to say something, but didn't know how to start.

After all, the news was spread by her.

"On the night of chaos, my junior brother and I followed most of the cultivators into the inner city of the market out of curiosity.

Who knew that, because of this, my junior brother completely died in the inner city of the market.

All because we looked at a cultivator for a second.

At that time, not long after we entered the inner city, we found that a cultivator in the late Qi training stage was fighting with three cultivators in the sixth Qi training stage. We were about to retreat, but we didn't expect that the cultivator in the late Qi training stage was so powerful that he quickly killed the three cultivators and rushed towards us.

We turned around and fled, but because of the distance, my junior brother was hit by the opponent's flying sword and died directly. I heard my junior brother's screams, but I didn't dare to look back... I had actually expected this day and was prepared.

But when my junior brother died, At that moment, I realized how weak I was.

To be honest, I was scared.

Those who kill will be killed.

Who can guarantee that the next target I assassinate will not have the ability to kill me back?

Therefore, I decided to stop.

So, in the past six months, I have never accepted an assassination mission, and I rarely even go out of the market gate..."

As he said, Fang Shitong looked at Zhou Changwang and said, "Fellow Daoist Zhou should be wary of me.

But I think that fellow Daoist does not need to be too defensive.

Because even half a year ago, when my junior brother was still there, we would not casually attack ordinary cultivators. "

"For cultivators of our generation, it is better to be careful.

Fellow Daoist Fang actually does not need to worry about anything. As long as fellow Daoist does not do anything wrong, I will not do anything. "

Zhou Changwang also spoke and said.

What the two said was a candid exchange. Although the estrangement could not be completely eliminated, the relationship between the two did ease some.

Of course, this does not mean that Zhou Changwang truly believed the other party.

Although Fang Shitong said bluntly that he only killed those who deserved to be killed.

But he couldn't decide who should be killed and who shouldn't be killed.

The reason why Zhou Changwang didn't worry too much was that, in the final analysis, he was still confident enough in his own strength.

I am confident that I can use my own spells to hit the other party at the moment when the other party behaves inappropriately.

Geng Jin Finger, Five Elements Transformation Thunder Technique, no matter which spell it is, it has the power of the late stage of Qi training, and almost all of them can be cast instantly.

He is just not afraid of the threat the other party may pose.

"Fellow Daoist Zhou, I have just contacted Sister Shen.

They are still outside Fangshi, but they are almost there. "

At this time, Qian Xiaoyue collected all the jade slips, looked at Zhou Changwang and said.

"That's good."

Zhou Changwang nodded and couldn't help but cast his gaze in the direction of Fangshi.

Under the spiritual eye technique, most areas in Fang City are almost visible to him at a glance.

At this moment, after the initial chaos, the noise of the battle has become much smaller, but in the East District, dazzling spells of light bloom from time to time, and there are even monks rising into the sky, obviously Foundation Establishment True Demons. The strong cultivator is taking action.

Apart from this, the most lively areas are the outer areas of Fang City.

From time to time, you can hear the roar of the house's defense array being broken, occasionally mixed with some screams and wailing sounds, which makes people change their color.

In the entrance and exit area of ​​​​Fangshi, more and more people rushed out. Many people cheered for surviving the disaster, and then almost instantly they were attacked and killed by the monks who suddenly approached.

Even though it was daytime, the monks' attacks were often swift and vicious.

Driven by greed, the monks acted mercilessly.

With his spiritual vision, Zhou Changwang saw more than one case where two people, or even several people, suddenly attacked their companions after they were together.

Slowly, some monks approached Shilipo.

But seeing the four of them staying here, they didn't dare to get close. They either stayed away from them or walked around carefully.

There are four of them, three in the middle stage of Qi training and one in the early stage of Qi training. Their intimidation is still very powerful.

Until, a monk in the late stage of Qi training rushed over.

Zhou Changwang and others quickly and cautiously leaned together.

However, this man didn't even look at the others and flew past them quickly.

However, when he was about to leave, his footsteps suddenly stopped and he looked at Zhou Changwang and others with cold eyes, saying: "Huh? Killing intention? Do you know me?"

Zhou Changwang was slightly stunned, but he also became alert in his heart.

A seventh-level qi-training monk.

Immediately, his eyes locked on Fang Shitong.

"It turns out to be your boy."

As he spoke, he laughed to himself and said, "I let you run away last time, but I want to see if you can run away this time."

Immediately afterwards, his mind moved slightly, and the magic weapon flying sword in his hand immediately rose into the air.

"retreat!"

Zhou Changwang shouted loudly and reached forward a little without thinking.

At the same time, his spiritual light kept flickering.

The self-protection technique, the light-body technique, the sword-controlling technique...all the spells were almost used in his mind.

Immediately afterwards, a stack of spiritual talismans appeared in his hand, and he quickly waved it forward.

Boom!

Thunder and lightning talismans and fireball talismans were all activated by him.

And at this time, he didn't stop at all. A huge turtle shell magic weapon suddenly appeared in his hand. When the spiritual power moved slightly, a group of spiritual light immediately burst out from above, protecting him completely within the magic weapon. .

And soon, a magic weapon flying sword appeared in front of him...

All this happened too fast.

Although Zhou Changwang didn't know why the man in front of him stopped and why he took action.

But the moment the opponent summoned the magic weapon, he didn't hesitate at all and took action immediately.
