Lin Ming asked Wang Yuhan: "When Bai Shijie sent the materials, didn't she make any requests? For example, asking me to create some kind of inscription or symbol?"
Wang Yuheng said: "Jingyun didn't say anything, just put the materials here."
"Oh... Do you have White Jingyun's Sound Transmission Mark? I want to use a Sound Transmission Symbol to ask her something."
Wang Yuhan said, "Yes, it's true. These days Jingyun has left Tianyun City and can't be contacted. She took a five-month leave from the Seventh Xuanwu Mansion, so I guess she won't be back for a while."
The transmission symbol has distance limitations. If it is a long-distance message, it usually needs to set up relay stations in advance and then use multiple transmission symbols in a loop.
"Requesting leave?" Lin Ming was puzzled in his heart, the training time of the Seven Profound Valleys was extremely precious, what could Bai Jingyun possibly have that would require a five-month leave?
He is not used to owing people favors, the prince's favor is still good, as long as he helps him ascend to the throne, but why did Bai Jingyun want to collect materials for himself and leave without a word? It makes one wonder.
"If Bai Shijie comes back, would you mind telling me?"
"Alright."
"Well... Miss Wang, would you mind helping me prepare the engraving room? I'll go ahead and draw out these client-requested engravings."
"Uh-huh, okay."
Two days later, in the dead of night——
In a shaded forest outside Tianyun City, Lin Ming wore a green robe and rode on the back of a gray large eagle, which was an extremely rare and exceptional mount - the Wind God Eagle.
Divine Wind Eagle's wingspan is over 4 zhang long, it can fly 7-8 thousand miles in a day. It's a third-level ferocious beast and only martial artists who are skilled in taming beasts within the sect can tame this eagle. One of these eagles costs nearly 200,000 taels of gold, and even with money, it's not something that can be bought.
Tonight, he will ride the Wind Chaser to set off for Tianchi Mountain in Huoluo Country.
The inscription pattern "Gāng" on the heavy mysterious soft silver spear has been drawn, and the drawing process went very smoothly. After completion, the true yuan condensation amplification of the heavy mysterious soft silver spear reached 50%.
The technique of "Gun Gang" is also successfully attached, and when it is activated, the true yuan will condense into part of the gun. In theory, as long as the warrior's true yuan is strong enough, the gun can be extended indefinitely!
With Lin Ming's current strength, while ensuring his attacking power, he can extend the Heavy Profound Soft Silver Spear to over a dozen zhang.
At this time, beside Lin Ming, there was a martial artist who appeared to be around thirty years old. He wore a suit of armor and had a heavy sword strapped to his back. On his face, he had a curved scar that looked like a snake.
His cultivation had reached the peak of Condensing Pulse, and he had even stepped into the Post-Heaven with half a foot. He was also riding a Wind God Eagle.
This man was one of the three warriors sent by Qinzijia to protect Lin Ming three days ago.
Lin Ming arrived at the agreed location of You Feng Lin, and this warrior had already been waiting here.
Lin Ming saw this person slightly stunned, the disciple of Qinzuo Ya was actually a half-step later heaven martial artist. This person's true yuan was pure and their aura was powerful, their strength was probably higher than that of same-level martial artists by a significant margin. Just this person alone would be enough to make the United Business Association unable to do anything to him.
"Hello, senior brother." Lin Ming greeted him.
"Hmm." The man responded indifferently, "Get ready, we'll set off tonight."
"Alright." Lin Ming had originally wanted to ask this senior brother's name and understand the situation of going to Huo Luo Country, but seeing that this person was clearly unwilling to say more, he could only give up.
That man suddenly let out a strange whistle. The two divine wind eagles heard the whistle and flew up into the sky!
The speed of the divine wind sculpture was getting faster and faster, Lin Ming only felt that his ears were filled with the sound of rushing wind, and the strong air current blowing towards him made his clothes flutter.
He condensed a wind shield in front of him using his true yuan, blocking the strong winds. His eyes gazed at the back of the martial artist in front of him, and he fell into deep thought.
It's absolutely unwise to leave Qixing Wu Fu now. If you can keep your whereabouts completely confidential, it's still safe. If your whereabouts are exposed, there will be some danger.
"Master Qin is a trustworthy person and shouldn't harm me, but I still need to be more careful. On the other hand, if Master Qin wanted to harm me, I probably wouldn't have made it this far."
The first time Lin Ming came into contact with Qinzuo, he could sense a faint aura of righteousness from him. Generally speaking, those who have great achievements in music, chess, calligraphy and painting are all gentlemen; otherwise, if their hearts are not righteous, it would be difficult for them to attain profound skills in these arts.
Two divine wind birds flew for a whole day and night, resting for less than two hours. In just one day and night, the divine wind birds had already flown over 8,000 miles.
The scenery around gradually became desolate, this is the southern part of Tianyun Country, adjacent to the Nanjiang Barbarian Land.
Lin Ming found that the Divine Wind Eagle did not fly directly to Huo Luo Country, but instead took a detour. However, with the speed of the Divine Wind Eagle, this detour would only take half a day at most.
"Was it for safety's sake?" Lin Ming was puzzled, after all, riding the Wind God Sculpture was a very safe way to go out. The flying height of the Wind God Sculpture was over a thousand feet, making it difficult for assassins to intercept.
"In a place like this, it's easier to kill and dump bodies..." Lin Ming had a faint sense of foreboding in his heart, he secretly guarded himself, connecting his mind to the power of Lei Huo within the Evil God Seed, feeling the highly compressed terrifying energy inside, which slightly calmed his heart.
At this moment, Lin Ming, who had been highly concentrated in spirit, suddenly felt a chill in his heart. He sensed that the Condensing Void Stage warrior flying in front of him was emitting a faint aura of killing intent, and this killing intent was directed at himself!
This made Lin Ming's limbs turn cold instantly!
Half a step into the realm of heaven's warrior, even with Thunderfire Slash, he wouldn't be a match!
……
At this time, in a secluded valley of the Great Zhou Mountain, because it was already nighttime and the trees blocked out most of the light, the valley was pitch black.
"Is it done?" a voice suddenly rang out, surprisingly it was Ouyang Qianhua.
"It's just a small matter, now the firework should start taking action." Bi Luo slowly walked out of the forest, his voice as gentle as a woman.
Huǒ jiàn is the junior brother of ōuyáng Jìhuā, a disciple of Liànqì Zōng who was expelled from the sect, and also the half-step Later Heaven martial artist who rode the Shénfēngdiāo with Lín Míng.
Ouyang Qianhua smiled evilly and said, "Elder brother's illusion technique is indeed extraordinary, I'm afraid even Qinzijia might not be able to see through it."
Bì Luò was born in the Seven Mystical Valleys of the Illusory Sect, and his greatest expertise lay in illusions, particularly disguise techniques. Not only could he change his appearance, but also imitate a person's voice, temperament, and even deceive a master at the pinnacle of their craft.
Three days ago, Bi Luo transformed into Qinzi Ya and tricked Lin Ming into leaving the Seven Xuanwu Sect.
"Originally, it was impossible to see through, but over the years, Qinzijia has traveled extensively in deep mountains and valleys, and he has cultivated his heart like a mirror, with an unblemished state. His own cultivation has also reached the level of half-step Innate, so seeing through my illusion shouldn't be difficult. Fortunately, that annoying guy Qinzijia left the Seven Xuanwu Mansion after the banquet and won't return for a while as he continues to cultivate his heart, so there won't be any problems."
"Hmm, as long as Qinzhi's teeth are not around, and Lin Ming is brought out again, killing him will be as easy as slaughtering a chicken. No need for fireworks to take action, just let Lin Ming fall from the Divine Wind Sculpture, and he'll be smashed to pieces. Not to mention that he's just a young Easy Muscle period cultivator, even if he were a post-heavenly master, he'd still be done for!" Ouyang Dihua said with a cold smile.
Lin Ming, in the Seventh Imperial City, once he made a move, would alarm many people. Even if he could kill smoothly, after death, it was likely to leave some clues that could be found by investigating the scene of the crime.
Once Lin Ming leaves the Seven Demon Emperor's Palace and Tianyun City, he can make it seem like he has vanished into thin air, creating a false impression that he died during his training. This way, even if the Seven Demon Emperor's Palace wants to investigate, they will have no leads to follow.
"The southern border is a desolate and barbarous land, full of ferocious beasts and poisonous insects. If someone were to die here, they would quickly be devoured by the beasts, leaving not even a bone fragment behind. It's truly a great place for murder and robbery, where one can destroy all evidence!"
Ouyang Di licked her lips and couldn't wait to hear the good news from Huo Gong.
Southern Xinjiang Wilderness
Lin Ming, who was riding on the Wind Chaser, suddenly heard a sharp whistle from the scar-faced warrior in front of him. The Wind Chaser under Lin Ming's feet suddenly flipped over while flying, its claws pointing upwards and its back downwards, trying to throw Lin Ming off directly.
"Bastard!"
Lin Ming grasped the eagle's feathers, borrowed strength to charge forward, and then grabbed the skin on the eagle's back. With a flick of his left hand, the 1,200-jin heavy Soft Silver Spear had already appeared in his palm.
The Kamikaze bird may have strong flying abilities, but how can it withstand a weight of 1,200 catties?
After being grasped by Lin Ming's back skin, it suddenly hurt and screamed, flapping its wings with all its might, but the man and the eagle were still falling vertically!
"Hey, sorry young man, I have no past grievances with you, nor recent grudges. I'm just taking advantage of others' kindness and suffering for them, can't blame me."
Huǒ Gōng stood on the Shén Fēng Diāo, heh-heh sneering, the scars on his face looked particularly ferocious.
"Who told you to come and kill me, Qinzuya?" Lin Minggang asked, but as soon as he spoke, he vetoed himself. No, that's not right, there's something fishy going on here, but where exactly is the problem, he couldn't quite put his finger on it.
"Haha, you think that's a piano? Fine, be that way, I'm not interested in wasting words on you, just let you be a foolish ghost!"
Do you think that's a piano tooth?
This sentence echoed in Lin Ming's mind, making his heart feel a chill, could it be...
At this time, he couldn't afford to think carefully, the firework flying in front suddenly made a strange whistling sound, the Divine Wind Eagle under him suddenly turned around and pounced on Lin Ming!
"Rest assured!" The firework pulled out a long knife with a strange shape from his back and slashed it towards Lin Ming's wrist, which was grasping the carved back.
"Clang!"
Lin Ming clashed with Huo Yuhao in a fierce exchange of blows.
However, the strength of the Condensing Pulse Peak warrior was so powerful that in this one exchange, Lin Ming only felt a surge of great power coming over him, and his body rapidly flew backward.
With a "ripping" sound, Lin Ming directly tore off a large piece of flesh from the back of the Divine Wind Sculpture as he rapidly retreated.
The Divine Wind Eagle let out a mournful cry, while Lin Ming plummeted down from a height of a thousand meters!
