The Heavens: Cross the World

Chapter 368 Competing with the Swordsman

Pei Zhenjun was furious and his eyes were about to burst.

Feng Ji grinned and waved the soul-summoning flag in his hand, and immediately numerous ghosts surrounded Mrs. Pei.

Pei Zhenjun's expression suddenly changed, his steps immediately suspended in the void, and he did not dare to step forward.

His face was extremely gloomy and he said, "What do you want to do?"

Feng Ji laughed: "Hahaha, what do I want to do? What do you think?"

Pei Zhenjun's face darkened, and he suddenly turned his head and looked down at the Xin family's mother and daughter who were caught by a group of demons.

He said solemnly: "If you dare to touch a hair on my mother's body, I will definitely kill all the Xin family members!"

Feng Ji suddenly laughed: "Hey, okay, you give it a try. I heard that you got your position as the mountain god because of your reputation as the most filial piety."

"I would like to know if monsters like you are really that filial. How about I count to one, two, three, and when we count to three, you and I will do it together. You kill the Xin family's mother and daughter, and I will kill your mother. How about that?" "

Pei Zhenjun's expression suddenly changed. He did not expect that Feng Ji was not threatened by him at all.

Compared with Henli, the difference between him and Feng Ji is not 01:30.

Feng Ji smiled half-heartedly, looking at the tiger monster with interest, waiting for him to make a decision.

Pei Zhenjun took a deep breath, but he was still afraid after all.

Logically speaking, the relationship between him and Mrs. Pei should have been settled long after Mrs. Pei died.

After all, Mrs. Pei's son was bitten to death by her because she wanted to harm him who had just escaped from the tribulation.

When Mrs. Pei was still alive, Mr. Pei Zhenjun had already bowed his head and confessed his crime, and even died for her in old age. It was time for this karma to be settled long ago.

But in fact, this tiger has lacked maternal love since he was a child. He has achieved success in cultivation. After all, he is still half human, and his desire for emotions is far more than that of ordinary beasts.

During those years of getting along, he had long since regarded Mrs. Pei as his mother.

Of course, being emotionally difficult to let go is one aspect.

On the other hand, as Feng Ji said, his position as mountain god was indeed favored because his name of filial piety moved the underworld magistrate.

But today, if he let Feng Ji kill Mrs. Pei's soul because of his fierce fight with Feng Ji, where would he put his reputation as a filial son?
Therefore, at this time, he had no choice but to surrender.

Pei Zhenjun took a deep breath and said in a deep voice: "You win, human. Let my mother go. You can take the Xin family's mother and daughter away with you."

Feng Ji smiled and said, "Aren't you going to take pictures of the flattery of the five-capital patrol envoy?"

The corner of Pei Zhenjun's mouth suddenly twitched, and he said coldly: "I will explain to Mrs. Xue. Don't worry, since I said this, I will naturally not go back on my promise."

Feng Ji sneered, shook his head and said: "You have no credibility with me. A monster who threatens other people's relatives if he can't be defeated. What qualifications do you have to say that you will keep your promise?"

"you--"

Pei Zhenjun was furious and roared: "Then what do you want!"

Feng Ji smiled: "I want you to go to Mrs. Xue and find out how his nephew met my maid. Who visited me during this period."

Pei Zhenjun was stunned for a moment, and then he understood what was happening, and his expression changed slightly: "You mean, someone on Mrs. Xue's side is deliberately using her to deal with you?"

After all, Pei Zhenjun is also a great demon in the form of gods. He thinks very quickly and immediately understands the meaning.

Then he had another thought: "No, if that's the case, wouldn't I also be used by others?"

"That person knows that Mrs. Xue doesn't have any men, so he will definitely look for me to take action. Once I take action, won't I just be at odds with this person?"

He was suddenly shocked and angry, feeling that he was being set up.

Immediately asked: "What's going on?"

Feng Ji saw that he seemed to have figured this out, and said calmly: "You are not too stupid. It seems that you have also thought of it. Let me tell you, the wife of the county monarch has been taken advantage of."

"Someone took advantage of her nephew's lust and deliberately brought trouble to the girl of the Xin family. That person knew that the girl of the Xin family had something to do with me, so he used this matter to test my depth."

"Who is it? Who is behind the plan?" Pei Zhenjun immediately asked angrily.

Feng Ji glanced at him and said, "Do you know Taoist Qingfeng?"

Pei Zhenjun's face suddenly darkened: "It's him! Damn it!"

His thoughts immediately changed and he had already figured it out.

Yesterday, he did meet Qingfeng Taoist. At that time, he thought that the other party was simply visiting the county monarch's wife. He never expected that this person would unknowingly set up a poisonous plan.

I am also stupid, to be fooled like this!
If the person in front of him hadn't solved the mystery, he would still have been kept in the dark!

At that moment, Pei Zhenjun clasped his fists and said in a deep voice: "I have not thought about this matter. Please forgive me, brother. I will personally go to the lady's house to find out more about this matter. Please ask brother." The Taiwanese showed mercy and let my mother go."

Feng Ji looked at the Xin family below and smiled without saying a word.

Pei Zhenjun understood and immediately turned around and shouted: "Don't let go of the Xin family yet!"

Hearing this, the group of demons stepped back one after another. Xin Shisi Niang rushed forward and untied the ropes for her mother and sisters.

Mother and daughter hugged each other and cried, whispering.

When Feng Ji saw this, he stopped talking nonsense and waved the soul-calling flag, and Pei Zhenjun's mother was immediately released.

Seeing this, Pei Zhenjun hurriedly used his magical power to appease and restrain his mother's soul.

Immediately, he took a deep look at Feng Ji and said nothing. Instead, he waved his hand and shouted to the demons: "Go back to the mountain!"

Then he turned into a billowing stream of demonic energy and flew away on the wind.

As soon as he left, the group of monsters was leaderless. When Feng Ji looked over, they were so frightened that they screamed, and they all used their magical powers to run away for their lives.

Feng Ji did not chase these little monsters and flew down.

Mrs. Xin quickly came over with her daughters.

About one meter away from Feng Ji, he knelt down and said in a trembling voice: "I kneel down to thank Mr. Feng for rescuing me. Thank you very much Mr. Feng for disregarding the past and coming to help me and my daughters. I can't thank you enough, so please Young master, I bow to you."

She bent down and kowtowed, and the dozen or so daughters behind her also shouted: "Thank you, Master, for rescuing me."

Then they bowed their heads together.

Feng Ji did not dodge and accepted their kneeling as he should.

After they finished bowing, Feng Ji said: "Your daughter will serve me from today on. Since you are her family, there is no need to be polite anymore."

He paused and said, "But I'm afraid you won't be able to live in this Huya Mountain."

Old Mrs. Xin said with a bitter face: "I also understand that if I have offended Mrs. Jun Jun and Mr. Pei Zhen, I will definitely not be able to stay here in Huya Mountain."

Xin Shisi Niang couldn't help wiping her tears and asked, "Mom, where are you going?"

The foxes looked at each other with sadness and hesitation.

Old Mrs. Xin smiled bitterly: "The only plan now is to go to other nearby mountains to have a look, but we are outsiders, so I'm afraid it won't be easy for us to settle down."

When Feng Ji saw this, he chuckled and said, "If you have nowhere to go, I heard about a place. Maybe you can go and have a look."

After hearing this, Mrs. Xin quickly asked, "Please give me some advice, Master."

Feng Ji said: "After passing Guangping County, heading north, there is a mountain forest. Bordering it is a place called Guobei County. This forest in the middle may be a place for you to settle down."

When Mrs. Xin heard this, her expression suddenly changed, she waved her hands repeatedly and said, "No, no, no, you can't go to that place."

Feng Ji's eyes flashed and he asked: "Why can't you go?"

"Oh, sir, you don't know something. That place is not an unclaimed land. I heard that there is a tree demon that transforms into a god and is entrenched in it."

"The tree demon that transforms into a god is different from Mr. Pei Zhen. Although Mr. Pei Zhen is fierce and domineering, he is still a spiritual beast and does not follow the path of eating blood."

"But that tree demon who transformed into a god was an out-and-out bloodthirsty demon. I often heard from the little demon who came over there that the tree demon who transformed into a god specially raised some beautiful female ghosts and succubi to seduce those who passed by. of pedestrians.”

"Once those pedestrians are fooled, they will be tricked into the dryad's territory and fed to it to suck the essence and blood, and even their souls will be scattered."

Speaking of the tree demon that transformed into a god, Old Mrs. Xin seemed extremely frightened.

Feng Ji was very happy and said: "You really know that tree demon? Let me ask you, do you know the origin of that tree demon? What is his cultivation level and how many demons and ghosts are under his command?"

Old Mrs. Xin was stunned for a moment, and then she realized that Feng Ji had known about the existence of the tree demon for a long time.

She said helplessly: "Sir, we don't know the origin of that tree demon. We only know that it was entrenched in the Lanruo Temple area hundreds of years ago, sucking the essence and blood of passers-by to improve its cultivation."

"In the past, there were masters who came to subjugate demons and eliminate demons. Unfortunately, their skills were too shallow. After entering the woods, they never came out again."

"As for his cultivation level, we only know that the tree demon must also be a great demon in the form of gods, and his strength is probably slightly higher than that of Pei Zhenjun."

"I heard that there used to be officials from the underworld who were responsible for the land of mountain gods, but since the tree demon passed, no mountain gods dare to take charge of that place."

"The entire mountain forest seems to be out of the control of the underworld. In the underworld, this area seems to be ruled by a ghost king. That ghost king does not belong to the underworld system, but relies on his own practice to control a ghost domain."

When Feng Ji heard this, he couldn't help frowning and asked: "Did he create a ghost domain by himself? Or did he inherit someone else's ghost domain?"

"Well, I don't know about this." Old Mrs. Xin shook her head to express that she didn't know.

Feng Ji pondered, being able to control a ghost realm was equivalent to the Lord of the Cave Heaven.

That ghost king may have entered the second or even third realm of refining the void.

The three realms of refining the void are transforming into spirits, entering the void, and cave into the void.

Transforming into a god is just the beginning of refining the void. Entering the void is to open up the cave sky, use the laws to open up the realm of nothingness, turn the void into reality, and the subsequent process of forming the cave sky is the cave void.

Feng Ji frowned and asked: "Is there such a powerful ghost king in that place? Doesn't the underworld care?"

Old Mrs. Xin shook her head and said with a wry smile: "I don't know about this. After all, I am just a demon cultivator. I heard most of the things in the underworld from the Lord's wife's house."

Feng Ji nodded slightly and asked: "What is the name of the Ghost King?"

He planned to ask the nearby Hades-type gods such as the Earth God if he had the opportunity later.

Old Mrs. Xin said: "It seems to be called...what is it called?"

She tried hard to remember, but suddenly she seemed to remember, slapped her thigh, and said: "Heishan! Yes, my name is Mr. Heishan!"

Feng Ji's pupils shrank instantly!
"Montenegro old demon!"

He suddenly realized, wasn't this a retelling of the plot of "A Chinese Ghost Story"?
However, in the original version of Liaozhai, there was no mention of the Black Mountain Old Demon or the like.

This old monster from Montenegro seems to be the original monster from the movie "A Chinese Ghost Story"!
"Could it be...could it be that this world is actually the world of the Liao Zhai film and television series?"

He originally thought this was just a Liaozhai, but the Black Mountain Old Demon was also there. In this case, this world should be a Liaozhai adapted from the film and television, not the original Liaozhai.

Feng Ji suddenly thought that Yan Chixia was not the scholar in the original book, but a bearded master of martial arts.

"According to the fighting power shown by Yan Chixia in the film and television series, she must be a master of swordsmanship who has cultivated the soul."

Feng Ji remembered that in the plot, Yan Chixia was able to directly enter the underworld in her physical body and fight against the old demon of Montenegro. This person's strength was definitely no worse than that of the old demon of Montenegro.

"Then doesn't Yan Chixia also have the realm of refining the void?"

"But I don't know which realm he is in among the three realms of refining the void."

Feng Ji thought for a moment and decided to put aside his speculation for the time being. Now he must go to Guobei County.

It is inevitable to pass through Lanruo Temple. If you really meet the tree demon grandma, you might as well try the strength of this old tree demon.

It would be best to get to know Yan Chixia and find out about the sect power in this world.

"Mr. Feng, after thinking about it, I actually have somewhere to go. My daughters and I still have relatives in the north. We are going to join each other in the north."

When Mrs. Xin saw that Feng Ji really seemed to be going to Lanruo Temple, she was frightened and quickly expressed her thoughts.She really didn't want to go to the territory of a great demon who relied on blood to enhance his strength.

Feng Ji looked at her, and Xin Shisi Niang said quickly: "Master, I will accompany you and take care of your daily life and food. You won't go with my mother and the others."

Her current intention was naturally to hope that Feng Ji would let her mother and sisters leave, and not embarrass them, and she would stay willingly.

Feng Ji chuckled and said calmly: "Old Mrs. Xin, you think too much. If you don't go, can I still force you?"

"It's better for the little demon fox to follow me than to follow you. If one day, I succeed in my path and open up a paradise of caves and heavens, and there will be a place for her in it, let's go."

Feng Ji waved his hand and signaled Mrs. Xin and others to leave.

Xin Shisi Niang was overjoyed and quickly thanked Feng Ji for his kindness.

Feng Ji accepted it calmly, and then Xin Shiniang reluctantly said goodbye to her mother and sisters.

At this time, the sky was already bright, and Feng Ji and Xin Shisi Niang were officially on the road, heading north.

This time he made a special trip to Guangping County and came to the Chenghuang Temple.

However, I saw that the Chenghuang Temple was still full of incense and there were endless pilgrims coming and going.

Feng Ji filled his eyes with mana, opened his heavenly eyes, and stared at the hall.

At this glance, he looked directly through the mortal world and fell into the city god of Hades.

However, in the City God's Temple of Hades, the seat of the City God was empty, and Tan Xinyang was not there.

Feng Ji's face darkened and he sneered: "Did you know that I was coming and hid in advance?"

Thinking of this, he glanced at the kid next to him.

Immediately, he was distracted and descended into the City God of Hades.

"Who dares to break into the City God's Temple!"

A ghost officer in the hall shouted loudly and came over with his sword drawn.

Feng Ji casually made a move, and with a bang, the little devil was immediately shaken out of his mind.

The other ghosts on the side looked frightened.

A kid recognized Feng Ji and immediately screamed: "Don't move, don't move at all, this is the distinguished guest of the City God! Don't mess around!"

He hurriedly came over and said in a low voice: "This little man is paying homage to a distinguished guest. May I ask why the distinguished guest came to the door?"

Feng Ji didn't meet a bunch of brats, he just asked: "Where is Tan Xinyang?"

"Ah? Master Cheng Huang has gone to Guobei County." The kid quickly replied.

Feng Ji suddenly raised his eyebrows and asked: "He went to Guobei County? What was he doing in Guobei County?"

"I heard that Lu Pan was about to hold the City God Examination in Guobei County, and we, the City God, went over to watch the ceremony."

Feng Ji's face darkened and he immediately asked: "When did it happen?"

"Master will be here in the morning."

"I'm asking you about the City God Examination."

"Um, um... I heard that the exams will be held tonight and tomorrow. By then, all the candidates recommended by the city gods and judges from all over the country will be here."

Without saying a word, Feng Ji immediately regained his focus and immediately launched his flying sword.

Xin Shisi Niang asked quickly: "Master, what's wrong?"

"Time is running out, come with me."

Feng Ji pulled up Xin Shisi Niang, rose up with his sword in an instant, and flew away through the air.

Speeding all the way north, after a short while, we flew over Guangping and saw a continuous forest and mountains in the north.

But he saw that there was a faint black air lingering in the mountain range, and the demonic air was soaring into the sky, with blood in it.

Feng Ji just took one look and knew why Mrs. Xin and the others were afraid.

The demonic aura here is so strong that it is truly terrifying.

"If I wasn't in a hurry, I would definitely meet you."

Feng Ji didn't stop, his sword energy shot through the air, and he instantly raised his body, speeding through the sky.

In just half a cup of tea, they had already crossed the mountain forest, and saw a city about the same size as Guangping County appearing at the foot of the mountain ahead.

Feng Ji controlled the flying sword and landed in a deserted place.

Xin Shisi Niang also jumped down from the flying sword and asked quickly: "Master, where should we go next?"

Feng Ji said: "Look for the Chenghuang Temple in Guobei County."

Hearing this, Xin Shisi Niang nodded quickly: "Yes, Young Master."

She quickly took the initiative to help search for it.

When the two entered the city, they saw that the pedestrians in the city looked panicked, and the people doing business were also cautious.

There are always a group of police officers and gangsters on the streets, arresting people everywhere.

Some conspicuous intersections are covered with various fishing documents.

Compared with the security situation in Guangping County, Guobei County seems to be more chaotic.

"Uncle, may I ask, where is the Chenghuang Temple in Guobei County?"

"City God's Temple? The City God's Temple is not inside the city, it's outside the city. You follow this road and keep going forward. After passing the city gate, there is about two or three miles away, which is the City God's Temple."

Xin Shisi Niang was overjoyed and quickly thanked her.

She has a slim figure, outstanding appearance, and is wearing a red dress, which makes her very conspicuous in the crowd.

As soon as the question was asked, several people with stern eyebrows were attracted.

But she saw a man wearing a turban on his head and holding an iron knife stopped her.

The man laughed strangely and said, "Little lady, do you want to ask for directions? Ask my brother, there are no roads in this area that I am not familiar with."

The two men next to him also laughed strangely.

"Hahaha, little lady, you have delicate skin and tender flesh, so be careful when you go out. My brothers will accompany you."

"Hey, little lady, your skin is so white and tender, let me touch it."

With that said, one of them was about to take action.

Xin Shisi Niang was immediately furious and her eyes widened: "How brave, what a group of shameless people!"

She waved her sleeves suddenly!
In an instant, a gust of wind suddenly appeared, and several people were immediately slapped away by her.

Such skill immediately shocked everyone.

"Good skill!"

But a voice of admiration was heard from the crowd, and immediately a figure jumped up, turned over and jumped into the crowd.

But he saw that the person who came was wearing a black robe, with a brass armor wrapped around his waist, and holding a sword. He was tall and very powerful.

As soon as this person appeared, Xin Shisi Niang immediately noticed the overwhelming blood energy in the other person's body, and she couldn't help but feel horrified, and subconsciously took a step back.

That man had a terrifying evil aura about him, and when he looked at Xin Sisi Niang, it seemed as if a sharp blade had been thrust directly into him.

Xin Si Niang's heart suddenly trembled, she didn't dare to say anything, turned around and left.

However, just as she was about to leave, she saw the man swaying and blocking her way.

"slow!"

Xin Shisi Niang raised her head and couldn't help scolding: "Are you going to stand up for these shameless people?"

When the man heard this, he raised his brows and turned to look at the people in the world.

I saw him suddenly sneer.

The next moment, everyone heard a cry, and then a cold light broke through the sky.

Puff puff--!
There were three muffled sounds, and three human heads were seen rolling to the ground.

Blood sprayed out, splashed several feet, and dyed the floor tiles red.

People all around suddenly heard shouts of fear.

"Murder, kill!"

"Let's go, let's go."

……

There are also many people with numb expressions who turn a blind eye to this scene and seem to be used to it.

A look of horror appeared on Xin Shiniang's face, she subconsciously took a few steps back and stared at this person.

But he saw the man swinging the long sword in his hand, and all the blood on the sword suddenly flew out.

Suddenly the sword returned to the color of blue steel, looking cold and dazzling in the sunlight.

"Girl, I am Xiahou, a swordsman. I just saw that the girl's skill seems to be unusual. I haven't asked her her name yet."

Xiahou did not put away his long sword, but looked at Xin Si Niang with burning eyes.

Xin Shisi Niang's face turned slightly pale and she said: "I...I don't have any honorable name. I'm just a maid. How can you kill people in broad daylight? Aren't you afraid of the king's law?"

"Hahaha, the king's method? We and other people in the world rely on courage and kung fu to travel in the world, not the king's method!"

"I have been following these people for several days. They were in Lujia Village outside the city. They ruined the innocence of several young girls. The government did not dare to pursue them, and the police did not dare to arrest them. They have already posted notices offering rewards."

"I killed them not only without guilt, but also with merit!"

As he spoke, he said: "But I, Xiahou, love fighting with others most in my life. When I see a master, I can't help but want to compete."

"Girl, you were able to slap these three thieves with just one move. Your skills are really extraordinary. Can you give me a lesson?"

Xin Shisi Niang was immediately shocked. Was the person in front of her stopping her for a martial arts competition?

She shook her head quickly and waved her hands: "I...I don't know any martial arts."

Xia Hou glared and shouted: "Miss, do you look down on me? If you don't know martial arts, how come they don't know how to dodge? Do you think I can't see that you are a master of martial arts?"

After he said this, he raised the long sword in his hand, pointed it directly at Xin Si Niang, and shouted: "Girl, I like to make friends with force, and I don't want my mother-in-law, so hurry up and make a move!"

Xin Shisi Niang was speechless. She really didn't know whether this person was really a martial artist or just too domineering.

How could anyone force others to compete in martial arts like this? Besides, she was still a woman.

Seeing that the other party was still entangled, Xin Shisi Niang stopped talking nonsense, shook her body slightly, turned into a demonic wind, and left quickly.

Seeing this scene, Xiahou suddenly raised his eyebrows: "Spell?"

His eyes shone brightly and he murmured: "She is also good at magic and martial arts. Could it be that she is Yan Chixia's apprentice?"

At that moment, he quickly picked up the three heads on the ground, tied them around his waist, jumped up, and immediately displayed his superb Qinggong, and quickly chased Xin Shisi Niang.
