Chapter 48 Lion versus Rabbit

The area a hundred miles away to the west of Qihuang Valley is called Xiong Xiazi Ridge. This place is also the end point of Zuo Lingquan's mountain patrol route.

Under the rain curtain, the towering ancient trees blocked the sky and the sun, and the dense canopy stretched to the end of the sky. The howling of animals and birds in the distance made the inaccessible rainforest even more lifeless.

Outside the simple hut built by the disciples of Qihuang Valley in the past, two black panthers with shiny black hair were lying at the door of the hut, gnawing on fresh flesh and blood.

The sound of conversation sounded faintly from the hut:

"Zhao Ze, are you planning to kill the boss of Qihuang Valley? You just summoned me to this barren mountain. If you don't give me a reasonable explanation, I will have to teach you what it means to respect elders and younger ones!"

"After entering Qihuang Valley, everyone will be brothers, and Ye Xiu's temper will change. Since Zhao Ze has made such an arrangement, he must have his reasons, just follow the arrangement."

"Senior Tu, you have to make arrangements, and you can't just make random decisions. From now on, when the sign of 'Hundred Saints Valley' is erected, the six of us are all elders and deacons. Now we all come out to ambush a disciple of Qihuang Valley, Senior Tu.

Do you think this is reasonable?"

"That makes sense. There are only five people present who are above the eighth level of Qi Refining, and the ancestor Qian Teng is at the eleventh level. This does not include Senior Nangong's Qimen Talisman and Zhao Ze's own spiritual beasts.

In this battle, we have a chance to kill the elders of the fifth house in Qihuang Valley. If we come here to kill a little baby, we are not afraid of damaging our moral character and giving rise to inner demons in the future..."

…

Zhao Ze, wearing a raincoat, squatted outside the hut, rubbing the black panther's head with his hands. He could only explain one sentence to the constant complaints from his companions behind him:

"We have failed several times before. Prime Minister Li of the Great Dan Dynasty is already dissatisfied. Without the support of Prime Minister Li, the Great Dan Imperial Court would not be able to let us enter Qihuang Valley. This matter is very important. Prime Minister Li has warned us about this.

You can't miss it, please be considerate."

"Hmph - that was your mistake. Just to prevent a mistake, it's enough to call one person over. Do you have to mobilize a large force and call everyone here?"

…

In the chattering hut, five people were standing or sitting.

The two stood at the door, one holding a sword and the other holding a shield, arms folded across their chests, watching the black panther eating meat.

The two of them sat cross-legged on the straw couch.

The older man is dressed in a brocade robe, with white beard and hair, and a bronze mirror covered with inscriptions is placed next to him; the man next to him is slightly younger, but he is also of age, with a ruler placed across his knees.

The last person was sitting next to a small wooden platform, holding a gold pen and writing obscure incantations on yellow paper.

The one who has been complaining is the oldest man in a brocade robe.

Zhao Ze was not surprised by this. After all, the five people behind him were not just random thugs found on the roadside.

The old man in brocade robes is called "Ancestor Qian Teng". He is an expert at the eleventh level of Qi refining. He also carries with him the magical weapon "Golden Light Mirror" and the magical robe "Jin Yuyi".

Fan Chenglin, who was sitting cross-legged next to him, was at the sixth level of Qi Refining, but like his master Qian Teng Ancestor, he was a rare 'Wandering Warlock' in the Great Dan Dynasty, and he also had magic weapons at his side.

The two people standing at the door were Jian Wuye who was holding a sword and a martial artist at the eighth level of Qi Refining; Tu Yang who was carrying a shield was at the tenth level of Qi Refining and came from the lower sect of the Nine Alliance Overlord Tiedong Mansion.

As for Nangong Xin, who was sitting and drawing talismans, although he was only at the eighth level of Qi Refining, wild cultivators who could draw talismans by themselves were rare in the Great Yan Dynasty. In terms of status, they were on an equal footing with Patriarch Qian Teng. Their robes were also of the same style, but

The pattern is slightly different.

As for Zhao Ze himself, he once practiced with a master who was born in Jingtai, and learned the ability to control beasts. He is also good at the ninth level of Qi Refining.

At first, the six of them were all wild cultivators from far and wide. Later, they met the "Eight Treasures Heavenly Lord", a profound Taoist, and became a disciple of the "Hundred Holy Valley", and then they got to know each other. This time, they came together to lead the charge to occupy the lower habitat.

Huanggu prepares.

Originally, Zhao Ze was competent enough to deal with a young prince-in-law, but Wang Zheng ridiculed him head-on and made him feel very angry. When he got back, he called all the people who were leading the attack.

At this moment, listening to Qian Teng Patriarch's nagging, Zhao Ze also felt a little regretful, but everyone was here, so he couldn't just do nothing and let people go back, so he could only say in a friendly manner:

"Ancestor, if you want to scold the juniors, feel free to do so. Let's take care of the matter and not make Tianzun angry. It will only take a while. After the incident, I will apologize to you all individually."

After all, there are helpless wild cultivators here, hugging each other to keep warm, just to be able to get a drink of soup from the cracks of the major immortal sects. Although Patriarch Qian Teng has complaints, there is no point in scolding Zhao Ze.

, think about it or forget it.

Nangong Xin, who was immersed in drawing the talisman, was the most intelligent among the people. He was originally a disciple of the orthodox immortal sect, but he escaped and became a wild cultivator after committing a crime.

After he drew the talisman, he distributed it to several people present and asked:

"Zhao Ze, do you know the details of the people you are dealing with this time? There must be a reason for inviting so many people here. Don't make it unclear. In the end, you kicked the bucket."

Zhao Ze took the talisman and said in a relaxed tone: "Eighteen generations of my ancestors have found out everything. He comes from a small county in the south. There are no characters in his ancestors. He just entered Qihuang Valley at the beginning of this month."

"Is there anything that's different about you? Are you gifted, or have you encountered some kind of opportunity?"

"Talent... he is handsome, he became a worldly prince-consort, he knows some worldly martial arts, but nothing else. By the way, he seems to be very rich."

"rich?"

When the five people heard this, they all frowned.

When it comes to spiritual practice, there are two types of people who are the most terrifying; one is the ‘ghost practitioner’ with astonishing talents, and the other is the ‘immortal master with many treasures’ who is extremely wealthy.

These two types of people are not unreasonable at all when things happen, and ordinary people can never guess what they can pull out of their crotch and slap in your mouth.

Zhao Ze knew what they were worried about and waved his hand:

"It's just a lot of money. No matter how much money you have in this place, you can't buy anything. But as a prince-in-law, you may have two magic weapons and talismans. When you get them later, you can just take them and treat me as an apology."

"

The five people nodded slightly after hearing this. Nangong Xin said:

"If we work together, why should we pay for it? If we really get a magic weapon, according to the old rules, whoever can use it will get it. Just compensate the brothers with a few fairy coins."

"I'm afraid there aren't many magic weapons in this small place..."

…

After chatting for a while, a small bird suddenly flew from the dense forest and landed on Zhao Ze's shoulder.

When several people knew that the prey had arrived, they kept silent at the same time, took black cloaks and put them on themselves, and picked up their belongings.

"Let's go, let's fight quickly."

Zhao Ze raised his hand, picked up a wooden box wrapped in black cloth from the hut, took two black panthers with him, and silently disappeared into the rain forest...
