Chapter 186 Gathering

But it’s Chen Mu’s side

He walked along the river bank, relying on the artistic conception of Genshan as much as possible to identify the turbulence of the earth veins. However, during the spring tide, the flow of the earth veins was extremely disordered. This was his first time exploring the earth veins, so he was inevitably very unfamiliar.

Several times he mistakenly thought that the earth veins were about to erupt, but after rushing over and waiting for a while, the silted earth veins quickly calmed down again, making his trip in vain and nothing happened.

“This flow of earth veins is really unreasonable.”

Chen Mu shook his head and thought to himself: “But my perception range is still too small and I can only capture some traces. Just like a blind man touching an elephant, it is difficult to distinguish the whole.”

But it was not useless after several rounds. At least he had a general understanding that siltation in the earth’s veins was a sign of an eruption, but the sign did not mean that an eruption would definitely occur, and if the degree of siltation was not strong enough, it would not erupt.

Continue forward in the fog.

After walking a few more steps along the muddy river bank, Chen Mu’s eyes suddenly moved slightly.

From the mixed and flowing veins underground, he caught another unusual sign!

Uh-huh! Chen Mu immediately stepped forward and quickly followed the traces of the flow. After running several hundred feet along the river bank, after roughly distinguishing it, he jumped and fell into the river.

The raging river was about to carry him down, but his whole body was like a heavy boulder, sinking all the way to the bottom. His feet fell into the mud at the bottom of the river, and then he walked forward along the mud.

Barely two steps.

A glimmer of light appeared in Chen Mu’s eyes.

“Coming!”

This time it was not a false shot. Almost at the next moment, the earth veins that he felt had been stagnated finally erupted, turning into a torrent of mud and water, exploding the water surface, and the turbid mud poured out of the water for more than ten feet! Almost as soon as the torrent of mud and water had drained out and a hole was revealed in the mud, Chen Mu didn’t hesitate at all. He was like an eel, diving into the cave at once and swimming all the way down.

In an instant.

He followed the mud tunnels in the earth veins for dozens of feet, and soon fell into a small cave with a radius of only about one foot, and quickly looked around.

But on the surrounding mud walls, there were still many minerals of different materials and colors just like last time.

However, this time Chen Mu had experience and was more prepared. He did not check or feel in detail. He just took out a bag from his body and waved his hands one after another, causing the surrounding mud walls to explode piece by piece. Then he waved the bag and unfolded it. He put all kinds of messy things in it together with some mud and water, then jumped up and quickly returned along the way he came.

This time the earth vein eruption was smaller than the last time, and the mud cave was tighter and narrower. However, Chen Mu moved quickly and swam along the mud path. In an instant, he returned to the bottom of the river again. The mud cave under him was visible to the naked eye. Visible velocity contraction.

“good.”

Chen Mu nodded slightly, then picked up his bag, jumped up, and quickly returned to the shore from the river.

at this time,

The sky finally started to get bright.

But white mist filled the water, and it was still hard to see.

And just as Chen Mu was carrying the bag with muddy water still flowing out, and was walking ashore, the white mist beside him suddenly opened a little, and a sharp blade appeared silently from the white mist and stabbed his throat! But Chen Mu’s eyes were dull at this time, and he was not alarmed at all. He didn’t even draw the knife. He only held the bag with his right hand, and with a diagonal sweep of his left hand, he splashed a bunch of muddy water flowing out of the bag towards the sharp blade.

Bang!

A beam of muddy water collided with the sharp blade, making a heavy impact sound and forcefully swinging it away!

And in the bunch of water splashes, there was a hint of lightning arc intertwined. After swinging away the sharp blade, it suddenly erupted along the blade and turned into a raging thunder light, which stretched over in an instant.

The mist suddenly exploded in the lightning, revealing a figure wearing a black robe and a blood-colored mask. His whole body was surrounded by lightning, and he let out a muffled groan, with a hint of shock in his eyes.

Wow! Another bunch of water splashes came continuously. The man in black robe who was struck by lightning could not avoid it. He could only watch helplessly as the bunch of muddy water penetrated from his chest, like a sharp blade. A bloody flower appeared from behind.

“Is your Xueyin Tower’s intelligence so backward?”

Until this moment, Chen Mu’s eyes were still dull. He shook off the muddy water in his pocket, stepped forward, stretched out his left hand, and unveiled the mask of the black-robed figure.

Under the mask was a face of about thirty or forty years old, with drops of blood flowing out of the corners of his mouth. He was looking at him with a hint of shock in his eyes, and then he fell down with a thud, and his vitality slowly disappeared.

Chen Mu looked at the corpse of the Xueyin Tower assassin and shook his head slightly.

In order to save people during the day today, he showed the power of the second step of Xunfeng and Lihuo. However, it seems that Xueyinlou has not updated the information about him, or Yu Jun has done something to hide it for him. The work, and the work was done very well, was not leaked and spread quickly, so that the Xueyin Tower was still unclear at this time.

But in fact, he didn’t specifically ask Yu Jun to do anything to hide the news, because as of now, it doesn’t make much sense. Tianjianmen saw his Xunfeng artistic conception, and Hua Nongying knew his thunderous artistic conception… Even if the information between each other has not yet been exchanged, it will be a matter of time.

Not to mention that as long as the Xuanji Pavilion noticed that Cheng Houhua and others had lost contact, they would definitely feel something was wrong, and then they would pay more attention to him. The intelligence ability of Xueyinlou was even more extraordinary. He showed Lihuo’s artistic conception in front of so many common people. Zhou cannot hide it for long, it will be known to him soon…

Maybe.

It’s not that Xueyinlou doesn’t know, but the news hasn’t reached this poor assassin yet.

This person is actually not weak. He has reached the perfect level of Bone Forging Realm, and the artistic conception he masters should be silent assassination. In this foggy environment, he can be regarded as occupying the sky. Any Bone Forging Realm in his hands is very likely to be killed. Killed with one blow.

Obviously, he came a little late. Seeing that he had brought back the harvest from the erupting earth veins, he became murderous. He relied on the foggy sky to restrain his aura. When he came ashore and relaxed, he suddenly struck with a sharp blow. However, his strength The huge gap made this dangerous blow look like a joke in Chen Mu’s eyes.

If he were the true deacon of the Xueyin Tower and quietly ambush him, he might still be somewhat of a threat.

A cursory inspection of the bodies of the Xueyinlou assassins revealed that, as expected, they were empty.

“Poor.”

Chen Mu shook his head.

Then he sank the bag full of muddy water into the river and briefly washed it for a few times to wash away most of the sediment, and then roughly checked the contents of the bag.

Xuantie Mine, Wujin Mine, Hanyu Mine… Most of the harvest this time is mainly minerals, and the quality is above mid-grade. However, there is no precious mineral like Xuanhuo Mine. Among them, the most valuable one is a The small piece of flowing silver ore is smaller than the piece of flowing silver ore he used to forge the flowing fire knife in his hand.

But it is not without gain after all. A small piece of liquid silver ore can also be used to forge a treasure. It is a pity that there are no higher-grade heaven and earth spiritual objects such as Tu Yuan Pearl. Even a small one is worth just a small amount. Much more than Meteorite.

……

With the rising sun.

The heavy fog that filled the sky and the earth finally receded.

However, the rich water vapor did not dissipate at all. It was only radiated and burned by the scorching sun, and merged into the sky, gathering into dark clouds, and then turned into light rain and fell.

The lower reaches of Qingping River.

Or for Pingnan Township in Pingyu County, the entire low-lying land is already a vast ocean at this time, but it is also the end of the flood. The water here is obviously much smoother than upstream and is no longer so turbulent.

In fact, this is not just the downstream of the Qingping River, it is also the downstream of another “Jinsha River”. It is located at the intersection of the two river basins. Therefore, almost a hundred miles in radius is now a vast expanse of water.

at this time.

On the outskirts of one of the lakes, a large number of people were seen gathering.

There were inner disciples from various major sects, as well as heads of the Demon Slaying Department and Supervisory Department, including some figures from the Xie family, Xue family and even the Yu family, all gathered in all directions in this swampy area.

The gathering of people is not without reason, because from the Qingping and Jinsha rivers, you will reach this place where the water is located, and during the eruption and turbulence of the earth’s veins, treasures will be washed out from the ground, some of which have not been found. Things that are noticed by various sects, or things that are not too precious, will eventually be washed here by the raging river.

To put it bluntly.

Most of them are not qualified to explore upstream. Even if they do encounter an eruption of earth veins, they may not be able to come up if they go down, and they may not be able to escape if they come up. Instead, it is better to look for some opportunities at the end of the downstream.

This piece of water is very wide, and people from all sides do not gather together. Instead, they each occupy a place, or explore in the water, or carefully watch the river flowing in the distance.

Xue Lin’s figure appeared in a corner of the water.

“The eldest young master is here.”

Some people from the Xue family saluted Xue Lin.

Xue Lin didn’t look much. He walked forward and came to a middle-aged man. The middle-aged man was tall and had some similarities with Xue Huaikong. However, he was Xue Huaiyi, Xue Huaikong’s younger brother. At this time, he saw Xue Lin coming over. , then asked: “How was Lin’er’s harvest?”

Xue Lin came to the side, shook his head and said: “I found nothing. I encountered two earth vein eruptions, but one was too far away, and the other… Han Guang of Xuanji Pavilion and Hua Nongying of Hehuan Sect were fighting for it, and there was no chance to intervene.”

Xue Huaiyi didn’t show any regret when he heard this, he just smiled and said: “The treasures in the upper reaches are not easy to fight for. The big figures like Hehuan Sect Xuanji Pavilion, even if they are not true disciples, some of the top ranked inner sects Disciples are not easy-going people, even my brother must be cautious.”

“Um.”

Xue Lin nodded slightly.

He went to explore the upper reaches to look for opportunities. After all, the Qingping River is long and wide. There are only a few sects operating near the Qingping River. It is impossible to be everywhere. With his strength, there are still some opportunities. The risk is greater.

There was nothing to gain from this exploration, so he planned to rest downstream for a while.

But just as he glanced around, he suddenly felt a shaking under his feet, and waves splashed and rolled on the water. However, as a person in the bone forging realm, it was naturally impossible for him to lose his footing due to this.

“here we go again.”

During tidal disasters, this kind of earthquake is very common, especially in the lower reaches of the swamp, where the floods of the two rivers meet. Basically, there will be turmoil every one or two hours, but it is usually not violent and there are no earth veins. An eruption occurs.

Most of the people in the water were warriors. They all stood steadily during the earthquake and looked towards the long river bank. They saw the torrent in the distance, forming a wave due to the earthquake just now, rolling towards the water here. Come.

soon.

The wave is approaching.

Among the group of warblers and swallows on the east side, one could tell at a glance that they were disciples of the Hehuan Sect. Hou Lingling, who was closest to the outside, suddenly flashed her pitiful peach blossom eyes, as if she had discovered something, and swooped out. .

At the same time, at another place closer, a disciple of Xuanji Pavilion wearing a mysterious robe also noticed something and also rushed towards the water there. The two of them jumped into the water one after another.

Soon followed by a chuckle.

Hou Lingling jumped out of the water and was about to return to the direction of Hehuan Sect.

“Leave!”

However, the Xuanji Pavilion disciple behind him also rushed out, shouted lowly, picked up an iron ruler in his hand and drew it towards Hou Linngling.

Hou Linngling shook her right hand, and a soaked ribbon floated up, wrapping around the iron ruler. She chuckled and said, “Whoever gets it first will get it. Why don’t you Xuanji Pavilion follow the rules?”

“You’ve crossed a line!”

The Xuanji Pavilion disciple responded coldly, twitched the iron ruler in his hand, and then shot it down again.

Hou Linngling was not afraid here. As the ribbon was waving up and down, it was entangled with the iron ruler, and water splashed everywhere.

“presumptuous.”

Xuanji Pavilion yelled at an inner disciple, and then he stepped out in one step. In an instant, a splash of several feet of water splashed out from the soles of his feet, showing the strength of the Bone Forging Realm, and was accompanied by a hot breath.

He came to Hou Lingling in one step and slapped her across the face.

Hou Linngling was shocked. Although she immediately fought back to resist, her strength was far inferior to that of the opponent and she was unable to resist at all. She was still hit by the palm and flew away, landing in a pool of water several feet away.

“Ling Ling!”

Everyone on the Hehuan Sect side was far away from each other, and someone immediately exclaimed.

Immediately, a figure came to the water where Hou Linngling fell, helped her up, and then looked coldly in the direction of Xuanji Pavilion and said: “Using the Bone Forging Realm to bully the Yijin Realm, you are going too far!”

Wu Zisheng, the inner disciple of Xuanji Pavilion, only snorted coldly and said: “If I really wanted to bully her, she would be a corpse by now. You witches have always only been able to stir up trouble and make strong arguments.”

But at this moment.

A charming voice floated up, with gentleness and sweetness in it. When it fell into people’s ears, it seemed to make the temperature of the cold water rise a little: “Xuanji Pavilion is a righteous sect, how can you bully us like this? What about these weak women?”

Wu Zisheng’s expression changed.

For a moment, I just felt that my heart was shaking. I knew the danger was coming, but I couldn’t think of any resistance. Then my whole body made a bang, and I didn’t know what was hitting me. Stars appeared in my eyes, and I spurted out a mouthful of blood. Flying backwards.

And just where he was standing before, a girl stood tall and graceful, wearing a purple gauze, with slender arms, and no strong aura on her body. She looked like a pitiful ordinary girl, but she fell behind and flew backwards. In the eyes of Wu Zisheng and many Xuanji Pavilion disciples, he made everyone fear him.

far away.

Xue Huaiyi suddenly narrowed his eyes and looked solemnly at the girl who suddenly appeared.

“It’s Hua Nongying…”

Hehuan Zhenzhuan Hua Nongying’s strength is extraordinary among the five internal organs. Even if it is his brother, Xue Huaikong, the Lord of Yu County, here, he still has to retreat three points when facing Hua Nongying! Almost at the next moment, another voice came from the river in the distance.

“You are a true heir of Hehuan. Who dares to say that you are a weak woman… But could you please raise your hand and let me junior brothers go? Otherwise, it would be too unsightly to force me to attack your little sisters.”

As the words fell.

Everyone looked up and saw a figure walking down the river on a wooden stake in the distance. He was wearing a light golden Xuan robe and carrying a bamboo basket. It was Han Guang, the true successor of Xuanji Pavilion!

Hua Nongying said with a slight smile: “I’m just teaching Brother Han a lesson for my overbearing junior brother. Brother Han, please don’t blame me. I just want to apologize to you, little girl.”

“It’s easy to say, it’s easy to say. I have been fascinated by Sister Hua for a long time. It doesn’t take much trouble to apologize. One night is enough.”

Han Guang came to the end of the river, jumped and fell into the water.

After hearing this, Hua Nongying was not angry at all, she just smiled and said: “I don’t have anything to do, I’m just afraid that Brother Han won’t come.”

Han Guang took out a gourd from the bamboo basket behind him, pulled out the lid, took a sip of wine, and said: “Forget it, I don’t want to think about you witches anymore. I heard that you and Gu Hong had a fight, and you lost him.” Is that guy so strong?”

When Hua Nongying heard this, she blinked immediately.

“snort!”

A cold snort suddenly came from across the river.

I saw a figure in white walking down the river bank in the distance. In a few steps, I arrived at the bank of the water. After that, I didn’t say anything and just looked at Han Guang coldly.

Han Guang’s movements were stiff, then he scratched his head in embarrassment and said, “Hahaha, Brother Gu came so fast.”

Acacia Sect! Xuanji Pavilion! Tianjianmen! The three true disciples suddenly appeared one after another, causing the entire swampy land to fall into silence.

“Hua Nongying, Han Guang, and Gu Hong… they’re all here.”

Xue Huaiyi looked at this scene solemnly.

And at this moment, Xue Lin next to him suddenly said in a deep voice: “It’s not just them.”

Xue Huaiyi’s expression condensed, and he quickly looked around, and soon noticed that on the bank of the river not far away, a figure in Taoist robes stood unknown, but it was Meng Danyun, the true successor of Qixuan Sect.

The four true traditions are all there, so maybe the true legend of the Xueyin Tower is also nearby. The thought that a true legend of the Xueyin Tower might be hidden in the darkness nearby makes anyone feel a little scared, but the true legend of the Xueyin Tower should be I’m not interested in killing them yet, but the true inheritance from all the sects came together. Could it be that there was something unusual about the earthquake just now? for a while.

With the appearance of the true successors of each sect, whether it was the many disciples of Tianjian Sect, Xuanji Pavilion, or the troops of the Xue family and the Xie family, they all restrained their voices at this time and silently stopped searching for treasures in the water. Some Those who were closer quietly moved away.

At this moment, there was sudden movement on the river in the distance, and another blurry figure was seen standing on the river, walking down the river in the continuous drizzle, coming towards this side.

Many eyes on the water also gathered there.

Who is it this time? Just when everyone’s eyes were changing, they saw the blurry figure gradually becoming clearer on the river coming from far away. There was a piece of dead wood under his feet. The person was not wearing the clothes of the disciples of each sect, but was wearing a uniform. An official uniform of the Supervision Department.

“Is it him?”

Xue Lin was slightly startled.

Although he has met the other party only a handful of times, it is impossible for him to forget the other party’s appearance. He did not even really care about the other party the few times he passed by him, but just like that, unknowingly, the other party became… Step by step, he surpassed him, replaced him, and became the most talented figure of the younger generation in Yu County – Chen Mu, the Supervisor of the Department!

However, with so many true traditions from various sects gathered together, it would be a bit too arrogant to dare to swim down the river so arrogantly and attract so much attention.

In the field.

For a time, not only Xue Lin and others, but also Gu Hong, Hua Nongying and other true disciples also focused their attention on Chen Mu.

Han Guang narrowed his eyes slightly.

The corners of Hua Nongying’s mouth curved slightly.

Gu Hong only glanced at it lightly, then converged his eyes and didn’t look much.

Wow!

Chen Mu finally reached the end of the river walking on dead trees, then jumped into the water. He did not look at Han Guang and others, but after falling a few steps, he came to the Supervision Department and the Demon Slaying Department gathered not far away. In front of a group of people, he said in a deep voice: “There will be changes in the ground here. Please hurry up and arrange for the residents of the nearby villages to evacuate.”

All the true traditions of the sects were gathered here, and there was no surprise in his mind, because as he went down the river, he also noticed that the earth’s veins were unusual, and they were vaguely gathering in this area, so the changes must be extraordinary.

“yes.”

Some personnel from the Supervision Department and the Demon Slaying Department were shocked when they heard Chen Mu’s order. They immediately understood why all the true disciples from all sides had gathered here, and they took action one after another and went away.

It was only then that Chen Mu finally had time to take stock of the situation in the field. He saw that Hua Nongying, Gu Hong and others were no longer standing in the middle of the water, but were retreating to the outside. Meng Danyun was retreating from the beginning. Peripheral people noticed his gaze and nodded slightly at him from a distance.

She was not surprised that Chen Mu came here. After all, Chen Mu seemed to be responsible for the Qingping River Basin. However, he was able to detect the abnormality in the earth veins and rushed here all the way. His perception was quite keen. Her previous careful guidance was not in vain. These days, There has definitely been a lot of progress.

If the two are combined into one, they will not be divided into two chapters.
