Chapter 88

By the muddy pool, a Direhorn was drinking water, raising its head from time to time to observe the possible danger.

The thick neck restricted its field of vision, and it could hardly turn its head back. It had to turn around to see the rear, so it didn't notice that a dead leaf was slowly moving towards itself behind it.

As it gradually approached, the Direhorn suddenly felt uneasy in its heart.

The beast's innate intuition made it aware of the approaching danger, it raised its head sharply, stamped its four hooves and rushed directly to the side.

At the same time, a cold light flashed from the dead leaves behind, directly hitting the most vulnerable place behind the Direhorn's buttocks.

"Aww!" The Direhorn let out an earth-shattering roar, stomping on all fours, trying to escape from this dangerous place.

However, a few green vines suddenly grew up under its feet, tightly entangled it, making it unable to break free for a while.

It howled angrily, and a yellow light burst out from its body, as if it was about to activate some spell.

At this moment, the sword light suddenly rose, and a sharp light and shadow swept out, quickly cutting along the white line behind the Direhorn's head.

With a sound of plopping, the head of this huge monster has already fallen.

A figure flashed in the air, and Tang Jie's body had landed on the Direhorn Beast.

Looking at the corpse, he smiled and said, "Good luck, now we have meat to eat."

As a low-grade monster, the direhorn beast, although it is bulky, is actually extremely capable of running away, and the scales around its body are extremely hard. It can be used to escape with natural magic, and it can only be killed by a sneak attack.

At this moment, Tang Jie had already begun to dissect the direhorn. This guy's scale armor and unicorn are good materials, all the essence is concentrated here, but there is nothing valuable in his body.

The horns and armor are being stripped here, and the little tiger has already rushed up and gnawed on the animal carcasses, eating bloody mouths, which is extremely indecent.

"Don't worry, it's all yours." Tang Jie touched the tiger's head and smiled.

The little tiger hummed and chirped as an answer.

Lying on Tang Jie's shoulder, watching Tang Jie busy, he asked curiously: "Brother, why are we not going back to Xiyue College after all the bad guys are dead?"

Tang Jie replied while peeling off the armor: "What's the hurry, it's rare to come out, and come to this cloud and mist swamp where monsters are entrenched, and fight mobs by the way, to get some benefits, isn't it good?"

"Yunwuze is very dangerous, there are many, many powerful monsters."

"Then it's even more necessary to look for opportunities to see what can be gained."

"But we are not short of money now. Didn't my brother say that we made a lot of money this time?"

Tang Jie stopped his hand for a moment, thought for a while, and replied, "Yes, but it may not necessarily be ours."

"En?" Yiyi was puzzled.

"Yiyi, you are still young, and there are many things you don't understand. I told you, you may not understand. But you have to remember that although strength is the most important thing in the world of cultivating immortals, there is no end to the improvement of strength, no matter how strong you are. No matter how far you go, you will find that there are always more powerful people above you. Unless one day your strength reaches the point where you are the only one in the world, otherwise it is best to think more about everything you do. "

Speaking of this, Tang Jie raised his head to look at Yiyi, and said with a smile: "If we go back to Xiyue Academy now, the academy will definitely punish me for the lies I told earlier. In this case, do you think they will Do you admit that I took the credit for bringing back Changqing's head?"

Yi Yi was surprised and asked: "No way? But you said that the big faction pays attention to reputation."

"Of course, but what is reputation? It's something used to promote it to the outside world. The Moon Cleansing student Tang Jie was robbed, and the Moon Cleansing Sect went out to save people, costing countless manpower and material resources. How to calculate this account? How to calculate the value of Gu Changqing's head? No problem, but the Xiyue faction spent so much manpower and material resources to save me, so it's only natural to settle accounts with me, right? When you do the calculations, you will find that, let alone one Gu Changqing's head can't be counted, it's me Most of the things obtained by killing Gu Changqing and the others have to be used to offset the debt, and maybe they are owed if they are not enough. Two hundred thousand sounds like a lot.

That's personal! It is used to pay for the transfer of a large amount of manpower from a cultivating sect... that is a drop in the bucket. "

"But you helped them eliminate a lot of villains from Tianshen Palace."

"Yes, but they don't need to count this account. The powerful side may not be able to do whatever they want, but the strong side must also have the right to speak...they make the rules!"

"They will do this?" Yi Yi was surprised.

"I didn't say that they would definitely do this, but at least this might not be the case? I'm not Tang Jie anymore, and I don't look forward to the moon wash party anymore. Since there is no expectation, the previous efforts must recover some costs." Tang Jie replied meaningfully: "Don't test human nature. If you don't want to be disappointed, try not to give them such a chance."

Yiyi pursed her lips: "The Xiyue faction is really bad!"

Tang Jie laughed loudly: "Silly girl, I have already said that this is only possible, don't blame others for something they haven't done."

"Then what shall we do?"

"It's simple, find a safe place to hide all the proceeds, wait until you return to Moonwashing Academy, and start it after the matter is over... When you have money, everyone will settle accounts with you, and when you have no money, just It's not necessary anymore."

If Tang Jie returns to Xiyue College with all his wealth, it’s hard to say how many people in the college will suddenly transform from lifesavers to blood-devouring jackals. Without Tang Jie’s amulet, many of the conveniences that have been there will disappear not see.

These conveniences may not be visible in normal times, but when you lose them, you will feel unable to move forward.

Because of this, Tang Jie would never give others such an opportunity anyway.

It was only then that Yiyi understood why Tang Jie wandered around in this cloudy swamp, feeling that he was looking for a more suitable place to store his property.

Tang Jie continued: "Actually, this is not the only reason. There is also another reason. No matter how much I lie, as a Lingquan period, it is difficult to deal with a cultivator like Gu Changqingjiu. So the top priority It is to work hard to advance to the Linghu stage first, so that I can have an explanation after returning."

"Is it reasonable for Linghu to turn nine?" No matter how ignorant Yiyi is, this matter sounds unreliable enough.

For a cultivator at the 14th level of the five realms, it is normal to challenge beyond the level, but it is absolutely abnormal to challenge across the border.

The environment is a qualitative change. An excellent Linghu student may easily defeat an ordinary Linghai student, but it is almost impossible for an excellent Linghai student to defeat the worst Transcendence Realm.

"...Well, it's more reasonable than Lingquan vs. Rank Nine."

Yiyi folded her arms, with a grown-up look on her face: "I don't think it's very reasonable."

"...It's a little bit closer." Tang Jie said awkwardly: "This matter can only be taken one step at a time, first solve the problem of the realm, whether it is to escape or fight back, you need to have enough strength to be confident. Good to explain."

"But how long will it take for you to enter Spirit Lake?"

"It won't be too long." Tang Jie replied: "I'm sure, as long as I undo the new rain curse on the empty mountain, I will be able to enter the Spirit Lake within a month at most."

Tang Jie's cultivation efficiency is much higher than that of others due to the strong physical quality brought by Lijing body training. If it is not for the rapid improvement of strength and the delay in the improvement of the realm, with his speed, he can already enter the Spirit Lake.

Now that Gu Changqing is dead, the Tianshen Palace has come to an end for the time being, Tang Jie can finally go all out to improve his realm, plus there are some medicines to assist cultivation in the three mustard bags, Tang Jie said that entering the Spirit Lake within a month is really not an exaggeration of.

The only thing that restricts him is the new rain spell of Nakong Mountain.

With this spell, he couldn't gather spiritual energy, and he couldn't practice.

But conjuration is not born, and no spell can last long without support. These days Tang Jie has been attacking the Kongshan New Rain Curse. Without the blessing and restrictions of the people in the Eagle Hall, Tang Jie can feel that the Kongshan New Rain Curse has loosened a bit. I believe it will not be long before he can break through this restriction by himself. , to really restore strength.

"But once you enter Spirit Lake, you can no longer enter Tiger Roaring Valley."

"It's just that you can't enter as a hunter, but other identities are still possible. Moreover, the resources of Tiger Roaring Valley are limited and the cost is high. After all, it is just a place for us to experience the career of world cultivation, not a suitable place to obtain resources. As far as I'm concerned, after obtaining the blood refinement, there's no need to go too much, the worst thing is to visit Wang Po once in a while."

"It also left a lot of monsters for you."

"Leave it to the young master."

"You want him to go up to Tiger Roaring Peak?"

"...I know it's difficult, but there is always a way." Tang Jie said with a smile: "Okay, no matter what, the next thing we have to do is to practice and improve ourselves!"

Yiyi nodded and shouted: "Well, practice! Practice! Yiyi also wants to practice, and I will fight bad people with my brother in the future!"

"Okay." Tang Jie laughed.

At this moment, Tang Jie's ears moved suddenly, his face changed slightly, and he stretched out his finger to his mouth softly.

The little guy understood, and asked in a low voice, "Is someone here?"

After following Gu Changqing for so many days, Tang Jie has made significant progress in insight, so at this moment he noticed that the spiritual energy fluctuations behind him were abnormal.

Tang Jie nodded: "It should be the person who came to kill Gu Changqing, let's go, don't let them find out."

As he said that, Tang Jie tore off a piece of flesh and blood from his body, threw it far away, and rushed towards the depths of the swamp.

Not long after, dozens of figures appeared in the swamp.

A tall man glanced at the body of the direhorn on the ground and said: "Not long after he died, people must be nearby. Spread the search, you guys go here, you guys go there, keep in touch , Don’t be reluctant to fight when you encounter a target, immediately send out a warning, others will follow me!”

The crowd dispersed in an instant, and they rushed to various places. It was obvious that everyone was well-trained, but judging from their attire, they were obviously not members of the Moon Cleansing Sect. They should be from Wenxin's country. Some small sects.

The fierce man led a group of people to chase down the direction where Tang Jie had walked, his eyes flashed from time to time, and everything around him could be seen, without missing a single thing.

During the frantic running, the man shouted: "Stop!"

Everyone stopped at the same time, the man looked around, and suddenly pointed at a big rock in the distance, and everyone behind him raised their hands at the same time.

The next moment, countless flying fire meteors appeared from their hands. The light of the knife, the air of the sword, and the rumble of the flying shuttle intertwined a sharp light and shadow, and blasted towards the boulder in the distance.

With a bang, the boulder was blown to pieces.

After the smoke cleared, the fierce man walked over to have a look, grabbed a fox corpse, and said, "It turned out to be a cunning fox, let's go!"

A group of people has quickly disappeared into the forest.

When the people were far away, a figure slowly rose from the mud not far from the boulder.

It was Tang Jie.

Looking at the direction in which the comers were chasing, he murmured to himself: "Strange, why did you attack so hard when you came up? This means that you don't want to live. Could it be possible that you want to kill me too? That's right. Just take Gu Changqing's head, but I never said that Tang Jie must be brought back alive...Damn it, they are not here to save people, but to steal money."

Tang Jie suddenly understood that these people didn't care about Tang Jie's life and death at all, they only cared about Gu Changqing's head.

If Tang Jie is in Gu Changqing's hands, then they still have hope to become Tang Jie's life-saving straw.

But when Gu Changqing died, the nature of these people changed immediately.

Needless to say, if these people find out that they have killed Gu Changqing, the next fate that awaits him is not to save people, but to kill them immediately.

If it wasn't for Tang Jie's own plan to return to Xiyue College in a few days, when he saw these people who mistakenly thought they were rescuers and went up to them, they would probably be dead by now.

These small sects don't have as many rules and regulations as the Xiyue Sect, reputation is not important to them, only interests and strength come first!

"Then what should we do now?" Yi Yi asked hastily.

Murderous intent flashed in Tang Jie's eyes: "Ignore them for now, wait for me to break the new rain curse on the empty mountain and rush to the Linghu Lake, and then deal with them one by one."

"But you said not to convict them for something they didn't do."

"This sentence is void!"
