Chapter 494: Mantis Stalks Cicada

"Jiejiedan Zhenren!" The ugly man's face changed drastically. He looked at Li Qing who was walking forward step by step, and then he knelt down without thinking.

Bang!

"Little Wu Long, meet the senior!"

Wu Long's head hit the ground heavily, and he didn't even dare to raise it. His body was shaking constantly.

He never thought that he would be targeted by a master in the Jindan period.

Could it be that the one who kidnapped his boys and girls was the senior master in front of him?

Wu Long didn't dare to speculate further. Even if he went through all the memories in his mind, he couldn't remember where he had seen this person.

Li Qing walked to Wu Long leisurely with his hands behind his back. He had his hands behind his back, and his face was extremely calm.

"Are you a demon cultivator? Why do you need a hundred boys and girls?"

When he said this, Li Qing's eyes were already flashing with cold light.

Li Qing, who was once a mortal, couldn't stand kidnapping mortals to practice demon skills.

However, in Wu Long's worldview, he didn't think there was anything wrong with this.

This is the southern region of the Great Wilderness, the border of two demon sects, and the most chaotic place.

Capturing mortals to refine blood and souls in order to improve one's own magic skills is nothing in the southern region of the Great Wilderness.

"I dare not deceive you, senior. I want to refine a nine-son demon child, and I need a sufficient number of boys and girls to sacrifice."

"If you want, I can offer you the method of refining the nine-son demon child."

Before the man finished speaking, Li Qing raised his knife and a condensed true essence flashed in his palm, and he cut off the man's head neatly.

Gulp!

Wu Long's head rolled on the ground for several times, and finally stared at Li Qing with a pair of eyes that were not closed. In his eyes, there was a strong sense of disbelief and unwillingness.

He couldn't understand why he died like this, and died so neatly.

Until his death, he didn't understand why he died.

Boom!

A ball of red fire swept out, quickly burning the headless corpse in front of him into ashes.

Under Li Qing's control, only a shrunken storage bag was still in the ashes.

After Li Qing took the somewhat worn-out storage bag in his hand, the old city lord beside him immediately knelt down with tears of gratitude:

"Thank you for saving my life! Thank you, this immortal!"

"May I ask the immortal's name? I will have someone build a longevity temple for the immortal in the city and order people to worship day and night."

Listening to the grateful words that kept echoing in his ears, Li Qing ignored the old city lord.

He roughly searched the things in the storage bag, and soon lost interest. He was really a little poor.

There were only more than 800 spirit stones, and in addition, there were some magic tools with poor refining craftsmanship, and a few jade slips.

If it goes as expected, these jade slips should be the inheritance of the magic way that this person practices.

"Fellow Daoist Zhao, do you want to rest in the city?" Li Qing asked casually after putting away the storage bag.

As for the old city lord's suggestion to build a longevity temple for him, he thought it was unnecessary, so he ignored him.

The situation in the southern region of the Great Wilderness was a bit too complicated, and he knew very well what this mortal old city lord was thinking.

He just wanted to use his ancestral temple to establish a reputation, so as to deter the magic cultivators who were plotting against this city.

If he was already invincible, then Li Qing really wouldn't mind these trivial matters. He would even be very happy to protect the safety of a mortal town just by lending his name.

But unfortunately, he hasn't practiced to that level yet.

If he rashly left a longevity temple built in his image in the southern region of the Great Wilderness, he might cause a lot of trouble in the future.

Therefore, Li Qing not only did not intend to let the other party build a shrine to worship him day and night, but also wanted to erase the old man's related memories.

The next moment, before Zhao Tianxiong on the side could speak, Li Qing started to move.

His spiritual consciousness spread out and instantly invaded the sea of ​​consciousness of this mortal old city lord.

Li Qing's spiritual power was extremely powerful, and he controlled it to the smallest detail, and did not hurt the fragile soul of this mortal in the slightest.

Soon, a large number of memory images surged up, these were all things that the old man had personally experienced.

After a while, Li Qing found the images related to himself from a large number of memories.

Buzz!

Li Qing's spiritual power moved slightly, and in a few seconds, he erased all the memory images related to himself.

After doing all this, he slowly put the unconscious old man down.

"Master Li, I still have enough mana in my body. Let's continue on our way. If we continue to travel southwest for a while, we should be able to find the secret place." Zhao Tianxiong looked a little complicated.

He had seen the scene just now. The Wuji Master in front of him was really too flawless.

He just killed a demon cultivator in the early stage of foundation building. Not only did he destroy the corpse with Dan Fire, but he also did not forget to kill the related memories of the mortal next to him.

In this way, he not only punished evil and promoted good, but also did not get himself into too much trouble.

At this moment, he was very glad that he had pulled such a helper for the Zhao family in the future.

He originally thought that Li Qing liked to meddle in other people's affairs, and he felt a little mixed in his heart.

Generally, such people are unlikely to live long, but now it seems that at least Li Qing's caution is worthy of praise, and he is definitely not a short-lived ghost.

On the contrary, such people have a certain morality in their hearts, and their character is trustworthy. It is completely reassuring to entrust the future of the Zhao family to him.

"Then let's continue on our journey."

After saying that, Li Qing sighed and flew into the air on his own.

Zhao Tianxiong followed closely behind him. He heard the sigh and couldn't help asking:

"Why is Master Li sighing? Is there something wrong?"

Li Qing was silent for a while, and then he told some memory pictures that he had just inadvertently read in the sea of ​​consciousness of the mortal old city lord:

"The people in the southern region are really living in poverty. Just now, I thought that the old man said that the 100 boys and girls were kidnapped to fool the demon cultivator, but after searching his memory, I found that this matter was actually true."

The memory of a mortal will not be false. What Li Qing saw from the memory picture was what really happened.

He saw with his own eyes a group of unidentified immortal cultivators who intercepted and took away all the 100 boys and girls that the old city lord was about to offer to Wulong.

After hearing this, Zhao Tianxiong in the back also fell silent.

Although his Zhao family had never defined itself as a righteous or evil sect, it could not stand such a heartless thing.

Sacrificing 100 boys and girls alive was an extremely cruel thing just to hear about it.

"Master Li, this is the southern region of the Great Wilderness. It was okay when the Guhua Immortal Dynasty was there. At least it would not ignore the mortals under its rule, but now that the Immortal Dynasty has collapsed."

Zhao Tianxiong did not finish his words, but Li Qing basically understood what he meant.

After the collapse of the Immortal Dynasty, these mortals who were left unattended became the cultivation resources of these evil cultivators, especially these scattered evil cultivators.

These mortals without cultivation, in the eyes of those evil cultivators, are probably no different from pigs, dogs, cattle and sheep.

In the worldview of many magic cultivators, mortals and immortals are actually two species.

The magic is so cruel and bloody.

"Oh, forget it. There are so many injustices in the world. I can only take care of some of the things I see in front of me." Li Qing shook his head and stopped worrying about it. Instead, he concentrated on hurrying on his way.

His eyes returned to the town where the mortal was just now. He saw a human figure emerging in the shadow of a house.

Not long after, a figure half covered in a black cloak emerged from the shadow.

"Oh no. Wu Long died just like that, and even his storage bag was taken away."

"The most difficult thing is that this person is actually an unknown Jindan Zhenren. It's really troublesome."

"It's even more difficult to take back the scroll of miracles now."

This person is very good at restraining his breath and hiding his body. Even Li Qing's powerful consciousness could not detect his existence.

If Li Qing saw the person hiding in the shadows now, he would definitely find the problem immediately.

Because the person's dress was very similar to the memory picture in the mortal old man's sea of ​​consciousness.

The mysterious monk who kidnapped the group of boys and girls also wore this half-length cloak, which covered his face and body very tightly.
