Chapter 72: The Figure on Gujianping

  Linjiang County, Qingfeng Mountain.

  Gujian Gorge

  Dozens of robust demon horses gallop day and night without rest, their four hooves stirring up waves of dust.

  With a long sigh.

  The general in black cloak turned over and got off his horse, looking at a row of neat tents in front of him.

  At dawn, the bonfire was wet with rain and dew, the black charcoal crackled, and wisps of white smoke rose.

  About a dozen Golden Eagle Guards corpses were gathered together, all of them covered in sword wounds, skin torn and flesh ripped open, with bones visible beneath.

  Hong Lei led the demon horse, his eyelids twitching slightly.

  If the outer camp lieutenant is more like a Jianghu wanderer, good at several people joining forces to investigate and handle cases, then the inner camp lieutenant is an army, with hundreds of people forming a magic-suppressing array, pushing through the demons lair as easily as splitting bamboo.

  Once damage occurs, it represents a situation where the severity is almost out of control.

  Perhaps it was the sound of horseshoes.

  A young man with a golden eagle embroidered on his shoulder emerged from the tent, wearing a large cloak.

  He looks at least ten years younger than Hong Lei.

  His right arm was wrapped in a bandage, his face was pale, and his breathing was weak.

  He frowned slightly: "What took you so long?"

  "Id like to ask you, Zhao Pianjiang." Hong Yues voice was laced with a cold tone, his other hand resting on the hilt of his sword: "Giving you 40 men and horses is just to have you guard Guan Jian Gorge, not allowing the Qing Feng Men disciples to leave the mountain without permission. Is this how you guard?"

  As they spoke, he cast his gaze towards the more than ten corpses.

  Guanjian Gorge is a steep cliff, with treacherous terrain, easy to defend and hard to attack. The Qingfeng Gate disciples want to come down, every move they make cant escape the eyes and ears of the Town Demon Division.

  Whenever there is any unusual movement, there will be enough time to report to the higher authorities and request support.

  "I dont have the habit of sitting here and staring blankly."

  Zhao Kanglin raised an eyebrow in disdain and sneered, "If not for that old man with the angry sword suddenly appearing, I would have led my men to break through by now. Once we reach General Chens side, it will be a great achievement."

  Upon hearing this, Hong Lei strongly resisted the urge to slap him in the face.

  She raised her eyes and looked up at the top of the high cliff.

  All that was seen was a figure in a grey robe sitting cross-legged on the edge of the cliff, with sparse silver threads tied up into a bun using a wooden hairpin, eyes slightly closed, face gaunt and dry, palms spread apart on knees, holding a plain iron sword horizontally.

  Qingfengmens Angry Sword Elder was already a renowned swordsman with a full and round sword intent many years ago, and in Qingzhou he also had some reputation.

  If it werent for old age and physical decline, with a lifespan of over 300 years, he was worried about failure and didnt want to waste the precious opportunity of the Sword Pool Condensing Pill, but in fact, there was a probability that he could achieve the state of condensing the pill.

  "I may be injured, but hes also suffered a hidden loss, and wont recover for at least ten days or half a month."

  Zhao Kanglins eyes welled up with self-satisfaction.

  He came from a famous family, used the familys secret techniques, and cultivated in the Jade Liquid Middle Period. He crossed paths with a renowned Jianghu predecessor and exchanged injuries, but managed to escape unscathed. No matter who he told this story to, it was enough to make him proud.

  See his spirit soaring.

  Whether it was the Golden Eagle General in the tent or the Outer Camp General riding on a demonic horse, their faces were all somewhat unsightly.

  “……”

  Shen Yis expression remained unchanged as he grasped the reins.

  It turns out that this is the reason why people like us were forcibly transferred here.

  "Hmm, mark that down. Hong Yue cracked a smile and gave the other person a deep look: "Youd better wait to go back and get flogged instead.""

  "You!" Zhao Kanglin gritted his teeth. If it werent for a bit of bad luck, he wouldnt have ended up in this predicament and urgently needed someone to guard the place.

  A despicable scoundrel, daring to speak to himself in such a manner, completely lawless and unscrupulous.

  Hong Lei ignored him and turned around, saying: "Outer sect disciples, dismount!"

  Dozens of people fell to the ground simultaneously.

  Hong Lei walked past them one by one: "I was in a hurry earlier and didnt have time to talk. Most of you are not under my command, Im surnamed Hong, and Ive been the deputy general of the Demon-Suppressing Department for sixty years, with a cultivation level at the middle stage of the Jade Liquid. Ive always done things on behalf of General Chen... that is, the old man Chen Qiankun whos currently at the top of Qingfeng Mountain."

  "I know youre all resentful and want to wipe the butts of these idiots who have been foolishly stuck in Qingzhou."

  "Dont worry, as long as you dont make any mistakes, after returning, it will be counted as one successful cultivation of the Condensing Dan Realm."

  As soon as this was said, many of the school lieutenants faces finally showed a few more signs of excitement.

  To know that from one stripe to two stripes, if its about the Jade Liquid Boundarys demonic calamity, you need to participate a total of five times. From two stripes to three stripes, it requires more than twenty times.

  Participating in a Lingdan boundary demon calamity is equivalent to at least twenty Yu Ye boundary calamities.

  Besides, this time its said that they are in the Condensing Dan realm, but in fact, they dont need to take action at all. They just need to help General Chen Qiankun guard this mountain.

  "Three bottles of Bao medicine, initial boundary top-grade martial arts unlimited, Jade Liquid boundary middle-grade martial arts one volume."

  "Three years salary, two months leave."

  As Hong Yue stretched out his palm.

  Not to mention others, even Shen Yis eyes had a slight change.

  The Town Demon Patrol was indeed a bit tough, but they were generous when they took action.

  At that time in Baiyun County, people didnt even dare think about these things, but now everyone has a share.

  "And what you have to do is to take care of this long cliff for me."

  Hong Lei looked at him in a low voice, put down his palm, and came to the first person: "Whats your surname and name, whats your boundary?"

  "Liu Daqian, late in his early period, was skilled with a knife."

  "Wang Meng, in the late stage of his initial boundary, roughly understood fist and palm techniques."

  "Dai Bing, at the initial stage of the Jade Liquid Boundary, I... will use my sword."

  Hong Leis footsteps slowed down slightly, his eyes lingering on the womans sleeve for a moment, and the three cloud patterns were indeed eye-catching.

  At such a young age, Jade Liquid was naturally not an unknown person.

  He casually reached out his hand towards the long sword at the others waist, Dai Bings expression was complex, he retreated half a step back, his palm covering the hilt of his own sword.

  Hong Leis mouth twitched thoughtfully.

  Then walked towards the next person.

  The young mans figure was tall and straight, his back upright, with a black, straight sword hanging obliquely at his waist, and a dark shirt that seemed to be tailored for him.

  Her features are refined and handsome; except for her skin being somewhat pale, its hard to find any other flaws.

  His gaze swept over the two cloud patterns on his opponents sleeve, and Hong Yue asked in a low voice, "Initial Realm complete?"

  Shen Yi shook her head and said lightly: "Yu Ye Jing."

  As soon as the words fell, all the school officers were in an uproar.

  Although they are all knowledgeable and experienced young masters from Qingzhou, generally speaking, those who can break through the Jade Liquid at the age of 70 or 80 are considered to be a master who can sit in the town.

  At around thirty years old, Jade Liquids initial stage only has the foundation of a top-notch sect, and it can be achieved with exceptional innate talent.

  Even if the other party has a secret recipe for eternal youth and is actually forty years old, its still shocking.

  Of course, what is most unacceptable is.

  Such people, just asked a few, and two appeared.

  “……”

  Hong Lei was taken aback for a moment, and suddenly remembered his face.

  In that small courtyard, standing were Generals son and Miss Li, two top-notch experts. Next to them was a big-bellied man who looked weak in terms of aura, but being able to stand alongside them meant he must also be someone with a name and reputation, only his technique for concealing his aura was exceptionally profound.

  Its nothing out of the ordinary for someone in front of me to have such abilities.

  They clearly had the ability to refuse, but still followed themselves to Qingfeng Mountain, young heroes, when they were like this.

  At this point, Hong Yues face became much warmer: "Dont worry, were just guarding the cliff. Old Man Chen hasnt really made up his mind to take out his butcher knife against Qingfeng Gate. As long as they hand over that person, well naturally retreat."

  "On the premise of not learning from that spoiled young master who is already in his forties and has a brain like a pig."
