Chapter 709: The Gorge of the Trapped Dragon
"Who is in that flying boat?"
"Miss Yue'er, you have such a carefree mind, why don't you think about your own way out? Aren't you afraid that I will go back on my word and kill you here and run away?"
"How...how could that be? Daoist friend is a man of his word, how could he go back on his word and enrich himself?"
"Hurry up! I hope we can find them before your 'Big Brother Jin' and his men take action, otherwise we will not be helping them, but going to divide the spoils! But I still think we should say the ugly words in advance: Miss Yue'er is very smart, she should know what to say and what not to say, right? That Big Brother Jin seems to have really broken off relations with you! If he thinks that Miss Yue'er, you are of no use..."
"..., I understand!"
"That's good! Hurry up!"
"Yes!"
At that moment, the two of them said no more and hurried on their way.
A thousand miles, for the two of them, although it is not a matter of seconds, it is not far.
Seeing a winding hill emerging in front of them, the two stopped.
According to Zi Yue'er, right below that hill is Kunlong Gorge!
Kunlong Gorge, as the name suggests, is an extremely dangerous and ominous place.
Kunlong Gorge is winding and stretches for tens of thousands of miles. It is a famous dangerous place in the barren land between Qin County and Chu County.
However, for some reason, there is a strange barrier above Kunlong Gorge.
In this barrier, even ordinary Jindan cultivators will get lost if they enter it, and even wander around in it forever, but can't get out.
Therefore, Kunlong Gorge has become a traffic route that cultivators traveling between Qin and Chu counties must pass through-unless they are Yuanying ancestors, who are not affected by the mysterious barrier!
Even a big family like Xiangfu Chamber of Commerce cannot let Yuanying ancestors serve as drivers and horsemen for escorting caravans. Not to mention Yuanying ancestors, there are few ordinary Jindan cultivators in the caravan except for the necessary guards, and most of them are foundation-building cultivators.
In this way, facing Kunlong Gorge, the caravan of Xiangfu Chamber of Commerce cannot be spared.
This gave those who were interested, such as Brother Jin, a clear goal.
However, judging from the depressing and maddening tranquility in Kunlong Gorge, it was obvious that Brother Jin was already waiting for the rabbit, and the rabbit did not seem to show up yet!
Neither of them knew how to contact Brother Jin, but fortunately, there was Hong Lie's jade pendant. After pouring the true essence into the jade pendant, the jade pendant trembled slightly.
"Hong Lie! You son of a bitch! You finally got off that vixen's belly? Why don't you get over here!"
"..., Brother Jin! I am that vixen!"
"Why is it you again? Where is Hong Lie? Ask him to come and talk to me!"
"Brother Hong... Oh! It's a long story, let's talk about it in person!"
"In person?"
"Brother! I have already arrived at Kunlong Gorge, why don't I see you?"
"Damn it! Did that bastard Hong Lie even tell you about this?" After a moment of silence, Brother Jin's voice sounded again: "Hmph! You wait!"
Then, he hung up the call.
Zi Yue'er's face changed slightly, and Xiao Mian smiled faintly.
Brother Jin's last sentence "You wait" was quite unfriendly!
The two of them couldn't wait for long, and a burly man popped out of a gully on the edge of the hill. Seeing the two of them, he was stunned, but still waved.
During the journey, Xiao Mian winked at Zi Yue'er, who shook her head slightly.
Obviously, the burly man was not Brother Jin himself.
Come to think of it, when the burly man appeared, Xiao Mian's divine mirror did not vibrate, which means that the other party had not yet condensed his divine consciousness.
Besides, how could Brother Jin be bothered with such errands?
Following the burly man, the two entered Kunlong Gorge.
Afterwards, it was very complicated.
Sometimes climbing mountains, sometimes jumping off cliffs, sometimes climbing mountains, and sometimes wading in water...
Obviously, Brother Jin and his group were very secretive!
Xiao Mian even speculated maliciously: Brother Jin and his group had done the murder and robbery in Kunlong Gorge more than once or twice.
However, Xiao Mian was not worried. Judging from the fact that Brother Jin could give orders, he must be the leader of this secret base.
Besides, quasi-Nascent Soul cultivators are not cabbages. You can grab a handful of them. Even the Xiangfu Chamber of Commerce probably doesn't have too many quasi-Nascent Soul cultivators with concentrated spiritual consciousness. If there is only one quasi-Nascent Soul cultivator, Brother Jin, in this secret base, why should Xiao Mian be afraid of him?
Xiao Mian's calmness influenced Zi Yue'er.
In a trance, Zi Yue'er even had an illusion: if she could really follow this mysterious master in the future, it didn't seem to be a bad thing...
Just at this moment, the burly man suddenly disappeared.
Stopping his body, Xiao Mian concentrated his mind and was on guard.
Sure enough, the next moment, three flying swords flew from different directions.
Using the Spirit-Seeing Eyes to look around, he saw that the three flying swords were all mid-level magic weapons, but Xiao Mian was unmoved and fought back.
A Star Magnetic Sword was unsheathed.
Three crisp sounds came together at the same time. With a "ding" sound, the Star Magnetic Sword remained as proud as ever, and the three flying swords that launched the sneak attack were all knocked away.
"Damn it!"
"How is it possible?"
"High-level magic flying sword!?"
After the attack, three sounds followed one after another.
Xiao Mian waved the Star Magnetic Sword casually without making a sound.
The Star Magnetic Sword is not a high-level magic weapon flying sword, but when Xiao Mian sacrificed the 49 Five Spirit Walls that day, the Star Magnetic Sword could not hold back.
In the end, Xiao Mian had no choice but to sacrifice the Star Magnetic Sword again.
After that, the power of the Star Magnetic Sword increased again, and it actually broke through the upper limit of the general mid-level magic weapon flying sword and entered a mysterious realm.
According to the popular saying of human cultivators, the current Star Magnetic Sword is a quasi-high-level magic weapon!
It is this sense of superiority over ordinary mid-level magic weapons that makes the Star Magnetic Sword more powerful than before, and it can be said to be invincible among mid-level magic weapons.
"Why are the three brothers so polite? The two of us received an invitation from Brother Jin, so we came here to gather together. If you are not sincere, you don't have to show up!"
It was Zi Yue'er who spoke at the right time.
After a period of silence, three cultivators walked out of the shadows.
One of them was the burly man who brought Xiao Mian and the others here.
"Hmph! I don't know what Boss Jin is thinking. This plan is of great importance, but he actually called two strangers?" The burly man turned his fearful eyes to Xiao Mian, and then looked at the graceful Zi Yue'er, and put on a smile: "Young lady! Didn't Boss Jin tell you that he is not here?"
"He only asked us to meet here! In this case, this big brother will go to the entrance of Kunlong Gorge to meet us, isn't it because of the instructions of Big Brother Jin?"
"Hehe..., young lady, you are eloquent, but I feel pity for you! But is your companion born dumb?"
Zi Yue'er was stunned. Seeing that Xiao Mian remained silent, even she, who always claimed to be good at guessing people's hearts, could not guess what Xiao Mian was up to.
But with a smile, Zi Yue'er had already moved forward with lotus steps.
After that, Zi Yue'er smiled and danced with long sleeves.
The three men were not completely fascinated by Zi Yue'er, but they were also confused.
Zi Yue'er easily got the names of the three men.
The burly man was named Liao Yong, with a top-level Jindan cultivation. The other two were also top-level Jindan cultivation, one was Yuan Dong, and the other was Pu Yingxin.
It turned out that the three men and Hong Lie were usually friends.
The three men knew very well about Hong Lie and Zi Yue'er's affair. Although they usually mocked Hong Lie for being bewitched by a vixen, they were not without jealousy.
Now that they saw Zi Yue'er, the three men were distracted and their intentions were self-evident.
As a sixth-level peak fox demon, Zi Yue'er was naturally adept at dealing with such a sex-hungry ghost, and she soon became friends with the three men.
While flirting, Zi Yue'er asked about the whereabouts of Boss Jin.
The three men hesitated for a moment, but finally told the truth.
Xiao Mian's expression remained unchanged upon hearing this, but his heart skipped a beat for no reason: it was because according to what the three said, Boss Jin was galloping towards the south of Kunlong Gorge!
South?
Isn't that the direction where Xuancao escaped?
Damn it! It can't be such a coincidence...
Xiao Mian was so worried, Liao Yong and the other two were all shocked.
The three looked at each other and nodded.
"You two! Boss Jin has new instructions: He has agreed that you two will participate in our next plan! But there is a condition - you two need to pledge your loyalty!"
"Pledge of loyalty?"
"The caravan will be here soon, please take the lead. First, let us see your strength; second, it will also show your intentions!"
"This..."
"How difficult is this!?"
It was Xiao Mian who spoke for the first time, breaking the silence.
The six eyes of Liao Yong and the other two stared at Xiao Mian, appearing both fearful and indifferent.
After that, the five people said no more.
Liao Yong and the other two gathered together and sat cross-legged in meditation.
Xiao Mian sat at the other end, calm and motionless.
Zi Yueer looked at Liao Yong and the other two, then at Xiao Mian, a gleam of brilliance flashed in the depths of her eyes, and finally she sat cross-legged close to Xiao Mian.
Previously, she had urged Xiao Mian to come and find Boss Jin, just to get rid of the miserable situation of having her life held in Xiao Mian's hands.
Although joining Boss Jin would not necessarily guarantee her safety, Zi Yueer would not be able to bear it if she stayed with Xiao Mian for a long time.
It would be better to take Xiao Mian to Kunlong Gorge and fish in troubled waters while there were many people.
If Boss Jin could help her kill Xiao Mian for the sake of their one-night couple, Zi Yueer would naturally applaud.
But now that Boss Jin was not here, after weighing the pros and cons, Zi Yueer decided to stick together with Xiao Mian, because in her opinion, although Liao Yong and the other two were all at the top level of Jindan, including herself, they were equivalent to four top-level Jindan cultivators, but even so, Zi Yueer did not think that the three of them and the demon could do anything to Xiao Mian.
It was the scene of Xiao Mian killing Hong Lie that Zi Yueer had never forgotten.
As for Xiao Mian, he was sitting cross-legged and trying to contact Xuancao through the Beidou Si Nan Pan.
However, there was no movement from the Beidou Si Nan Pan, and Xuancao had no news at all.
Fortunately, the little starlight Xuancao carried with her did not automatically return to the Beidou Si Nan Pan, which meant that Xuancao had not fallen.
It seemed that Xuancao was either trapped in a secret place or held hostage by someone - no matter what, Xuancao had lost her freedom!
