Chapter 233: Secret Attack
Less than half an hour after the fire phoenix left, more than 20 Lingyin Sect monks arrived here one after another, looking for something around. Among them, two were the woman surnamed Zhao who was injured by her before, and the man surnamed Qi who went to chase Song Qingming.
Wu Xian, the leader of the team, looked at the battlefield with some potholes everywhere, and his face looked unusually heavy.
"Brother Wu, Brother Luo and I had a fight with that woman here before. I didn't expect that he was killed just a moment after I left."
Under the narration of Qi and Zhao, who had just survived the pursuit, Lingyin Sect quickly learned what had just happened.
"Didn't the other person say that his cultivation was not high? Why didn't you catch up with him just now?" An old man with a very sharp eye next to Wu Xian asked the man surnamed Qi again.
"I didn't know at first. That person had a magic weapon on him, and his speed was very fast. I followed him for a while, but I still lost him. If I had known this, I shouldn't have listened to Brother Luo to chase him. If I had stayed to help, maybe Brother Luo wouldn't have died here."
After listening to the explanation of the man surnamed Qi, the old man looked at him with some suspicion, waved his hand and let him retreat.
"Brother Wu, this woman is so powerful, and it seems that she doesn't take us seriously at all. I think it's possible that some old Jindan monster near Weiguo sneaked in. It must be her who took away some of our spiritual objects in the inner valley!
As for the other person that Brother Qi didn't catch up with, he must be in the same group with her. However, judging from his previous words and deeds, although the two knew each other, they were not close. They should be the subordinates of the woman or temporarily hired." The old man was extremely sensitive. After listening to the descriptions of the two of them, he instantly made a more coordinated analysis and expressed his opinion to the leader Wu Xian.
Wu Xian nodded and said, "Brother He, according to what you said, the incident in the inner valley was most likely done by that woman. Do you think we should inform the people of Xiaoyao Sect and Xingchen Sect about this matter!"
The old man surnamed He shook his head meaningfully and said slowly, "Being able to kill Brother Luo in such a short time shows that this person must have a rare treasure and is not easy to deal with. However, even if this woman is a Jindan old monster, her cultivation will be forcibly suppressed to the foundation building stage in this secret realm. She is just alone. As long as we gather more than a dozen people to act together, we are still 90% sure that we can take her down. I don't think it's necessary to tell them. What do you think, Brother Wu!"
"Brother He is right. As long as we can catch up with that person, Woman, not only can we get back the spiritual objects we lost before, but also the ones from Xiaoyao Sect and Xingchen Sect. As long as we take them back from others in an open and aboveboard manner, even if the other two sects know about it after we leave the secret realm, they can't say anything more. "
"Brother Wu, don't forget that woman is very likely to be a Jindan old monster. Her worth may not be lower than the value of these spiritual objects. No matter how many spiritual objects we get in the secret realm, we will eventually have to hand them over to the sect. But as long as we can get rid of this person before the secret realm passage opens, everything on her will be ours. The wealth of a Jindan cultivator is enough for us to make a fortune. "After the old man surnamed He finished speaking, there was a trace of greed in his eyes.
After determining the direction of the fire phoenix's final escape, the people of Lingyin Sect only left a few seriously injured disciples and continued to pretend to search around the Mutian Canyon. The others quietly left here under the leadership of Wu Xian.
However, their behavior of confusing others did not conceal for long, and was soon discovered by several other cultivators.
"He was able to kill a seventh-level foundation-building cultivator from Lingyin Sect in a short time. This person is not simple. He is most likely the one who entered the inner valley. Lingyin Sect wanted to take all these things for itself without notifying us. It was really a good plan." Half a day later, on the other side of Mutian Valley, after discovering that something was wrong with Lingyin Sect, Liu Zongping gathered all the disciples of Xingchen Sect and followed Lingyin Sect in secret.
Xiaoyao Sect and other sects also learned the news one after another and left Mutian Valley one after another. For a while, the entire northern part of the secret realm was in turmoil.
——
About 800 miles south of Mutian Valley, Song Qingming, with a cautious face, put away the flying sword under his feet and landed directly on an uninhabited hill.
After taking off the bamboo hat on his head, Song Qingming changed his clothes for fear that someone would come after him and recognize his identity, and then he felt relieved.
Not long after parting with Fire Phoenix, Song Qingming saw that the monk surnamed Zhao from Lingyin Sect had been chasing him closely, and thought that his identity would be exposed this time.
Unexpectedly, after chasing him for a while, the man suddenly stopped, changed direction, and gave up chasing him.
He didn't know that the reason why the monk surnamed Zhao from Lingyin Sect let him go was actually because of Fire Phoenix.
On that day, while chasing Song Qingming, he suddenly felt an unusual sound coming from something on his body. He took out a black jade card and took a look, only to find that the jade card showed that the man surnamed Luo who had parted with him not long ago had met with misfortune.
Although this person was born in a big sect, he was a bit timid and cautious by nature. Seeing that the Fire Phoenix was so powerful and could kill a late-stage foundation-building warrior so quickly, he was afraid that this fierce god would rush here to outflank him. In order to save his own life, he quickly left Song Qingming behind and fled in another direction.
After returning to his fellow disciples of Lingyin Sect, for fear of punishment, he could only lie that Song Qingming's speed was too fast, and although he tried his best, he still couldn't keep up and lost his trace.
Fortunately, at this time, the Lingyin Sect focused on the Fire Phoenix and didn't pay much attention to Song Qingming, who he was tracking, so he let him get away.
Seeing that he had shaken off this person and no one was chasing him anymore, Song Qingming quickly dropped his flying sword and wanted to see if he could find a place to hide first.
There were more cultivators in the outer valley. If it wasn't for escaping, he wouldn't dare to fly in the sky with his sword. After walking on the ground with his feet firmly on the ground, he felt more at ease.
After resting on the hill for a while, Song Qingming felt that this place was still too close to the Mutian Canyon and was not safe enough, so he decided to change direction and continue walking south for a distance.
Now there were only about three days left before the secret realm was closed. He just needed to find a hidden hiding place and wait for the exit to reopen.
After walking south for another half a day, Song Qingming finally found a place that was more suitable for hiding.
This place was a cliff, the spiritual energy was very thin, the terrain was winding and there was no road leading to the front. If you want to pass through here to the other side, you either have to fly over with a sword or take a detour from a place more than ten miles away. Ordinary people passing by here would not notice the bottom of the cliff.
There was also a dense forest below the cliff, covering an area, which could be used to hide.
Song Qingming came directly to the bottom of the cliff, took out his flying sword and was about to open a cave here to hide for a few days.
Unexpectedly, he had just taken out his flying sword when he suddenly felt a hint of coolness coming from behind him, and quickly turned sideways to avoid this sneak attack from nowhere.
