In the dark room, Fang Xiaoru sat on a high chair with a calm expression as if he was thinking about something. The armor that he would never take off covered his body, making others not notice his existence.
In a certain moment, a gust of wind blew into the room, turning into a figure kneeling on one knee: "Patriarch, the small worms planted by the royal family have also made a move after Young Master Ling left. It seems that they want to harm Young Master Ling.
Hearing that, Fang Xiao Ru's eyes flashed as he thought: "Really? I left this old dog, DeShun, as an excuse, but unfortunately, the royal family seemed to have another way to get the news. Now that De Shun was no longer of any use, he could just be Ling'er's stepping stone. Ling'er seems to have had some fortuitous encounter, and her strength does not need our protection. "
Just like this, Fang Ling sensed the many people discussing him. Under the admiring gazes of the four Nine Killing Soldiers, he walked out of the manor.
"Youfei, this is my first time leaving the prefectural city of Tartarus. I'm not very familiar with this mountain range." I hope you can tell me something. " Fang Ling rode on his horse and spoke to a Ninefire soldier named Youfei who was near him. The skinnier one was called You Fei, the darker one was called Hao Dazhi, the strongest one was called Song Erniu, and the youngest one among the four was called Zhan Ming. Among the four of them, Zhan Ming had the highest cultivation of the seventh level of the Martial Dao, while the other three were all of the sixth level of the Martial Dao.
However, it seemed that they had suffered heavy losses in the first mission. Of the ten people in each squad, only these four remained. Later, they were transferred into the Fang family and became their guards. This time, he was sent by Fang Xiaoru to protect Fang Ling's safety.
"Haha …" Young master Ling, you asked the right person. Other than being fond of alcohol, I love to inquire about other things. I know quite a bit about the situation in the Hao Yun Mountain Range. " You Fei patted Ma and Fang Ling as he walked closer, patting his chest as he boasted.
"Indeed, this fellow is very gossipy. As long as there is nothing else, he would stay in the tavern. He is well-informed. Young Master Ling wants to know something, asking him is definitely correct. " Hao Dali also approached and said with a grin.
Song Erniu and Zhan Ming both smiled knowingly. Seeing this, Fang Ling also revealed a smile. He felt that these men were extremely pure and had no ulterior motives, making them feel relaxed.
"Speaking of the Haoyun Mountains, it's said that it's because there used to be an Immortal Haoyun living in this enormous mountain range. But it doesn't seem to me to be true. On the other hand, there's something else that makes sense. It's that this mountain range is named because it is always shrouded in mist and mist. "
"This mountain range has a circumference of 50 miles and has countless peaks. The most famous of them all is the Hao Yun Peak. It is surrounded by clouds all year round and no one can reach the summit. There were countless medicinal herbs and beasts in the mountain. In the deepest part of the mountain, there were beasts as powerful as martial artists at the tenth level. The nine mountain valleys near us are all located in the Great Ming Country. In order to prevent other countries from invading the mountain range, of course, the most important thing is for the strange beasts in the mountains to come out and destroy them. Thus, we have the Nine-sided Mansion, which has a total of nine major cities guarding the nine tunnels.
Fang Ling and the others chatted as they rode. After they had left the prefectural city of Ninelotus and entered the borders of the Seamless Mountain Range … Fang Ling had already gotten a lot of information from these people. This information, combined with what Fang Ling knew from before, allowed Fang Ling to have a certain understanding of the Hao Yun Mountain Range.
There seemed to be something strange about this mountain range. There were a lot of medicinal herbs and strange beasts in the mountains. It was a treasure trove of resources in the surrounding area of the Great Ming Country. However, no power dared to occupy this treasured land on their own because the strange beasts would occasionally rampage and charge towards the outskirts of the mountain range. This kind of attack could only be resisted by many factions. If it was a single faction, then they would be torn to shreds.
"It is not early yet. We will set up camp here and enter the mountain tomorrow."
Fang Ling waved his hand and ordered. The four of them did not speak much after hearing this. After observing the surroundings for a while, they set up their tents in a secluded and safe place.
At night in the tent. Fang Ling cultivated quietly, absorbing the energy from the food in his stomach to condense his vital energy and blood to increase his foundation. Suddenly, Fang Ling opened his eyes and a sneer emerged on his face. He thought to himself, "As expected, it's this old dog, De Shun." He didn't expect this old dog to be so skilled at hiding his cultivation level; he was actually at the eighth level of the Martial Dao. A day ago, I might have been afraid of such a cultivation, but now, I am not so sure who will be the one to kill who! "
Under Fang Ling's Spiritual Perception, the surrounding 200 meters were all within his senses. Currently, there were four small tents surrounding Fang Ling's tent. At the outer perimeter of 150 meters, there was a group of black shadows hiding on top of the treetops. This ball of shadow was hidden extremely well. As it blended into the shadows of the trees, it remained motionless, making others unable to detect it. It was a pity that he met Fang Ling. Under Fang Ling's Spiritual Perception, there was no place for him to hide or hide. Fang Ling had discovered his old face.
The owner of this old face was actually De Shun, a humble looking old servant of the Fang family! Fang Ling had long since discovered that there was something wrong with this person. Now that Fang Ling had revealed his martial talent, it was clear that some people could not sit still and wanted to kill him. The reason why Fang Ling decided to enter the Haoyun Mountains to train, on one hand, was because he wanted to use the tempering to increase his cultivation. On the other hand, he wanted to find these hidden worms and beat them to death! He didn't want to be ambushed in the future.
Fang Ling's body moved and he wanted to take action, but he seemed to have discovered something and sat back down.
"There are a few more people coming from the left. They are truly pleasantly surprised. It was unknown whether it was the people from Shu Shaoqing or the Qian Family. "Since that's the case, I will wait a little longer. Hopefully, I can catch some big fish."
He waited for six hours. In this period of time, another two groups of people had actually come, each of them staring at where Fang Ling was hidden. After waiting for another fifteen minutes, Fang Ling knew that there would be no one coming today. He stood up and blew at the corner of his clothes. He then turned into a black shadow and disappeared into the forest in a flash.
"Chase!" You must kill him for me! " A furious growl sounded from the group of people, who hurriedly chased after Fang Ling. When the other two groups saw the group of people chasing after them, they hesitated for a moment before jumping and chasing after Fang Ling.
"Heh heh …" What a cunning kid, last time I let you escape this calamity. This time, we will definitely let you die an easy death. " A night owl like laughter came out from De Shun's mouth. He twisted his body, resembling a leopard cat, nimbly jumping on the tree as he chased after Fang Ling.
Fang Ling kept on running through the mountains, and through his soul perception, he could see the silhouettes of people chasing him. Fang Ling could feel the Qi of the Qian Family's Patriarch's cultivation technique, and at this moment, he was chasing right in front, with ten martial artists at the sixth level beside him. Seeing this, a cold smile flashed across Fang Ling's face. He had a feeling that he was being hunted in his previous life. In his previous life, he had relied on his powerful soul perception to kill many pursuers.
"The hunt begins! Let me teach you guys, be careful when you walk on the mountain path at night. " Fang Ling thought to himself. His body flashed again and again before he disappeared into the mountain night. He had disappeared from everyone's line of sight.
