Chapter 353: Chasing the Old Man
Xinxiang Continent, three days later.
In a desert wasteland, several figures were floating quietly in the sky. One of them, a woman with a slightly ugly face, was Songzi of the Tiandao Sect, the protector of the Tiandao Sect who wanted to take all the credit.
Beside her, there was a figure who looked like a child with fiery red hair, Xi Hao'er, a monk from the Demon Cultivation Sect, followed by a female monk with a flying sword, Li Fei, a monk from the Sword Sect, and a bald monk named Qingcheng, a Buddhist monk.
The four of them were the four candidates chosen that day to pursue the old man from the Prehistoric Soul Clan. The four of them were all in the late stages of the out-of-body stage. They were only one step away from breaking through to the distraction stage and joining the entire Xinxiang. The few monks in the mainland were sitting together in a distracted seat.
However, it is this last level that has caused countless people to get stuck on it, and how many talented monks have been unable to break through to the distraction stage for the rest of their lives. In the end, their lifespan was exhausted and they died on the road to practicing immortality.
All monks in the distraction stage are basically the sect masters of the same sect, such as the Buddha Seal of the Buddha Sect, the Thirteen Swordsmen of the Sword Sect, and the Soul Cultivator of the Demon Cultivation Sect. These three are all monks in the distraction stage, and they just have different levels of cultivation. .
Songzi from the Tiandao Sect, Xihai'er from the Demon Xiu Sect, Li Fei from the Sword Sect, and Qingcheng from the Buddha Sect. These four people were all selected by their respective sects. They are the proud ones who have the hope of breaking through the out-of-body period and entering the distraction period.
Their trip was to find the ancient old man in exchange for the resources that Qionglou had accumulated over hundreds of years. They could use these resources to break through in one fell swoop and march towards the distraction period.
Several major sects looked back that day, and one of the matters was to discuss the distribution of the Qionglou Organization's resources over the past several hundred years. Based on the level of Qionglou Organization's resources and the degree of cherishment, Tiandao Sect divided them into first-class military merit, second-class military merit, and second-class military merit. First-class military merit, third-class military merit.
Each battle merit corresponds to different rewards.
Once the manhunt for the ancient prehistoric old man is successful, it will be a first-class military exploit. In fact, even if the old man may know the barrier between the two realms and the old man's strength, it cannot be a first-class military exploit. After all, first-class military exploits are It is set for the leading figures on the prehistoric continent.
Even for the major sect leaders under the Tiandao Sect such as the Sword Sect and the Buddha Sect, first-class military exploits are very attractive to them.
The pursuit of the old man in the wilderness is just a matter of Tiandao Sect uniting the three major sects to take the lead in enjoying and distributing resources. It is said in the outside world that all the resources of Qionglou are used in the war between the two worlds, and they are obtained through military exploits.
But after all, they are the top sect in Xinxiang Continent. If they want to secretly take a bite of cake, they must have some excuse and cannot be too fooled, so they have to hunt down the old man to obtain first-class military merit.
Everyone is well aware of this matter, and no one raises any objection. After all, all the collected Qionglou resources are now under the control of several major sects. Even if there are outsiders who want to say this, they dare not, It can only be left to the actions of a few major sects.
Songzi frowned slightly, staring at the ruins at her feet. This was a sect in the wilderness. The traditional monks were not a big sect, but one of them had a monk who was in the early stage of leaving the body. This kind of monk in Tiandao Sect is The existence of a disciple has a completely different meaning outside, and can even be the master of a sect.
However, it was also because of the leader of this sect that this small sect was destroyed. There was no living person in the entire sect, and even the sect leader who was in the out-of-body stage died without a burial place.
Songzi and the others set out three days ago, chasing the old man's escape route. They saw this situation every time. As long as the old man took action, one of the sects would be destroyed. Of course, the old man chose some small sects, which made the old man You can hit a sure hit and then pull away.
This is also the reason why four monks in the late stage of the out-of-body stage chased an ancient old man and were unable to catch up.
"Smell the blood here. It seems that I haven't been away for long. There is still blood in the air, and the direction is southwest." Xi Hai'er from the Demon Xiu Sect shrugged his nose, smelled the air, and said.
For the Demon Xiu Sect, the bloody aura is like hands and feet, and they have been able to distinguish various information in it since they were young. It was also because of the existence of the Demon Xiu Sect's Xi'er that their pursuit was so fast. Now they are getting closer and closer to the old man. The closer.
Sword Sect Li Fei frowned, as if he didn't want to smell the blood in the air, and said disgustedly: "In that case, then set off quickly, catch that old guy, and take him back. I don't want to stay in this wretched place for a moment."
Monk Qingcheng nodded, clasped his hands together, and didn't say much.
Song Zi also nodded and said to everyone: "I hope you can cooperate sincerely. There are no twists and turns in this. We just need to bring the person back alive. Don't have any other thoughts."
The other three acquiesced. A rainbow flashed under the four people's feet, and they immediately headed toward the southwest. The sun was above their heads. It seemed that they should be able to find traces of the old man before evening tonight.
Several hours passed.
The four of them came to a river valley. This was the only river valley in this wasteland. Many surrounding sects and mortals relied on this river valley to survive.
Xi'er wrinkled her nose, smelled the smell in the air carefully, and said, "Yes, the smell ends here. To be precise, it should reach the river in the valley, and then disappear."
When Songzi heard this, he said, "Did you hide in the river?"
Xihai'er shook his head and replied: "I'm not sure. I can only smell the smell of blood and it will disappear in the river. As for whether he hid in the river or washed the smell of blood off his body in the river and then escaped, I can't say And know.”
As soon as these words came out, several people frowned. They pursued all the way, and the other party left clues. They were very comfortable after chasing. They were about to catch up with the other party, but the clues were suddenly broken here.
It's really disappointing.
Hearing this, Songzi also frowned, not knowing what to do.
At this time, monk Qingcheng, who had always been silent, said: "The young monk has an idea."
The other three people immediately looked at him. Qingcheng smiled and said "Amitabha", but he didn't show off: "Whether they are hiding near this river valley or have left long ago, there are four of us after all. We only need to simply divide our troops into two groups." , continue to pursue along the southwest direction, and search around the area, we will definitely be able to find clues. "
The method is simple, but a good one. When the other three heard it, their eyes suddenly lit up, but then their expressions turned gloomy. In this case, one party will inevitably find the old man, and the other will not.
Monk Qingcheng seemed to understand what everyone was thinking, and continued: "The only thing needed for this method is that the four of us trust each other and don't make small moves."
"Actually, no matter who finds the old man, the four of us will definitely be rewarded. However, we are not afraid of ten thousand, just in case. We still have to trust each other."
