Chapter 28 Heading North, Iron Lotus’ Flying Stones

The matter at Shangguan Mansion came to an end quickly. Thirty or so disciples from the Iron Sword Sect originally went north together, but after being intercepted and killed by the black-faced snake, only five of them were left.

These five people, headed by Cui Xuan, are all of the same generation as the leader. Their strength is relatively uneven. Only Cui Xuan is a first-rate master, and the rest are second-rate figures.

Of course, the person who led the team back was not famous and was inferior to Cui Xuan in terms of strength. He had protected the disciples before leaving.

Meng Hu, Shangguan Ru and others were also brought back to Iron Sword Sect. As for the follow-up matters of Shangguan Mansion, Iron Sword Sect will also send people to coordinate and handle them.

There are a few people, but it is not that easy to produce a first-class expert.

Taking the Iron Sword Sect as an example, apart from the fact that the leader is a grandmaster, the number of first-class masters is actually only about ten, and no more than twenty at most.

The same goes for other sects. Only Huangjue Palace has more, but other sects are pretty much the same.

This time they no longer walked, but rode north.

Lu Xingshi had the ability of riding, and he modified it to the full value of 1000 points. Although he had never ridden a horse, he couldn't help but read the book, otherwise how could he activate this ability.

I didn’t practice it when I learned it, so I will try it now.

After riding on it, with the effect of up to 2500 points and the 100 points of understanding, his riding ability was quickly brought into play, and he became experienced in just ten seconds.

On the way, Lu Xingshi also passed Cui Xuan and learned many things in the world. He also made some insinuations about his master Murong Xuan's situation.

Cui Xuan didn't know much, because when he entered Jianghu, Murong Xuan had been dead for almost ten years, and no news had come out during that period.

Murong Xuan is known as the Star Reacher in the world, and he once participated in the Tianshan Sword Competition and won the first place. The Langya Pavilion of the sect behind him is unfamiliar to most people, and there are very few traces of it. It belongs to a reclusive sect.

It is also common for disciples of hidden sects to enter the world. Most of these people are alone and have extraordinary strength.

It's just that most disciples of the hidden sect keep a low profile, and those like Murong Xuan are in the minority after all.

Lu Xingshi suspected that it was because he was too pushy that his master was targeted by the court and then arrested.

Otherwise, if you keep a low profile and cultivate quietly in Langya Pavilion, no one will know what your strength is, and no one will even know whether there is anyone in Langya Pavilion.

But this is considered normal. Murong Xuan helped him gain his reputation as a fledgling. He is high-profile, showing off, and showing off in front of others. This should be his personality.

Lu Xingshi also had doubts, how could someone with such a temperament be willing to remain anonymous.

It can't be because you're old, right? Murong Xuan is now eighty-five years old, but because of his deep internal strength, he is not old at all.

huh~
Lu Xingshi was chatting with Cui Xuan and others when a stone suddenly whizzed in front of his eyes. Judging from the trajectory, it should have grazed his ear and hit Cui Xuan.

It's just that he pinched it with his bare hands, without any white marks on his hand, and then hit it out with his backhand.

He also knows how to use hidden weapons. Not only does his ability score reach full value, but he also has many perfect hidden weapon skills in his hands.

boom!
A corpse just fell down. The man's forehead was pierced by a stone and he died on the spot.

"What a powerful locust stone." Cui Xuan couldn't help but praise it, and then he jumped off the horse and went to check the body.

A pile of iron stones were found from the opponent's body, with lotus patterns carved on them.

"It's Iron Lotus, why would he come here to take action?" Cui Xuan quickly recognized the other party.

"What's the origin?" Lu Xingshi followed and started to get started, trying to get the technique from the other party, but found nothing. "He has an innocent origin and is a first-class Ren Xia. How could such a person be driven by the rebels?"

"Could it be that his wife, children, and children fell into the hands of the rebels?" Cui Xuan guessed, otherwise how could he come here to attack.

Although this Iron Lotus is known for its hidden weapon that uses lotus flowers and flying rocks, every time it is used, it is done openly and it does not look like it would defect to the rebels.

"Oh, what next? Do you have any clues?" Lu Xingshi didn't care who this Iron Lotus was, he only knew that this guy was ambushing him.

He is willing to help the weak, but he will not have any sympathy for someone who wants to do something to him.

"No, it seems that the news of the death of the black-faced snake has spread." Cui Xuan felt that this was the only possibility, otherwise he would not have been intercepted for the second time.

"Then how long will it take for us to get there?" Lu Xingshi asked.

Saibei is a big place. He had only set out with the idea of ​​​​doing what he could. Later he followed Cui Xuan because his master was probably with the head of the Iron Sword Sect. If not, he could also ask the head of the Iron Sword Sect or It is to help inquire through the other party's relationship.

This is better than searching slowly by yourself.

Cui Xuan took out the map, compared it and said, "If everything goes well, we can get there in five days based on our pace."

"You should be able to enter the northern border tomorrow."

"Okay, what about this corpse?" Lu Xingshi asked, whether the other party planned to bury it in peace or expose it to the wilderness.

Naturally, he prefers the latter. It saves a waste of time and the debt will be wiped out after death, but he has no obligation to help. He is not a holy mother. If the other party wants to kill him, he will have to dig his grave.

"Just leave it on the roadside." Cui Xuan didn't like it either.

He didn't know this Iron Lotus, he had only heard of the opponent's reputation, not to mention that the opponent's behavior of intercepting and killing them was equivalent to being an enemy.

It's not like the famous sect doesn't fight back when beaten or scolded. On the contrary, each of them is full of martial virtue and their attacks are very ruthless.

Everyone got on their horses and continued northward, but the atmosphere was obviously much lower than before.

"Little friend Lu, I plan to take a small road." Cui Xuan said abruptly.

A poisoning and an interception made Cui Xuan think about it.

They did avoid it, but if they hadn't, they would have become corpses by now.

The best way is to hide if you can, rather than confront someone head-on.

"Although the path is rugged, it is faster. We can reach it in three days at most, and we can also avoid the attacks of this group of villains." Cui Xuan knew that Lu Xingshi was in a hurry.

"A small road? I'm afraid you can't ride a horse, right?" Lu Xingshi is not stupid. The small road must go through mountains and ridges, and horses are not suitable for it.

"Indeed, I will be tired later, but it will definitely be faster." Cui Xuan said.

"Okay, just take the small road." Lu Xingshi agreed. He could run much faster than the horse. Moreover, the horse was troublesome. Although it didn't need to shovel shit, it had to provide fodder, clean water, etc. every day, and it couldn't run. Too long, otherwise the horse will become useless and it will do more harm than good to him.

Of course, it is very practical for Cui Xuan and the others, after all, they are not as strong as Lu Xingshi.
