Taishang Immortal Brigade

Chapter 53
Among the immortal cultivators who received the mission from Shuwutang, Dugu Xiahou was the leader. Before they joined Xiahe, they had already received a mission to escort a batch of elixir from the remote mountains back to the North Dao Peak. There were monsters attacking, so Shuwutang released the mission, and the corresponding rewards were also very generous.

The mountains of Sifang Xianzong are located in the Sifang Mountains, but the territory of Sifang Xianzong is centered on the mountains, radiating to places that cannot be seen. If the place is too big, Sifang Xianzong may not be able to control it. The management method is that most of the strength is located in the mountain gate, and some of the strength is scattered in important strongholds in various places. Finally, disciples are sent to various places to do tasks, playing the role of leading the whole territory remotely.

After Xia He followed Dugu Xiahou to receive the task, he went out of the Sifang Mountains. On the way, Dugu Xiahou said to Xia He, "Although we are escorting the elixir this time, we are all in the territory of the Sifang Immortal Sect, but the danger is not small at all. There is the foreign invasion of Tumu Tianbao, and there are also various foreign invasions. The monsters that have not been exterminated in the territory often appear, and there are also a large number of wandering immortal cultivators who do not obey the control of the sect. Kill. But this mission we took is okay, the journey is not too far, and the disciples of our sect often go on this road, and almost all the monsters on the road have been killed, so we went to receive the medicinal materials this time , maybe it’s just a surprise. Fellow Daoist Xia, it’s your first mission, and this mission isn’t too heavy.”

Xia He nodded, the world of cultivating immortals is not peaceful, there are quite a few cultivators at the gathering place, but there are still monsters often appearing nearby, and they are killed every day by the hunting team, but they are not extinct, which shows the vitality of the monsters. Qiang asked, "Fellow Daoist Dugu, I have some doubts. You won't encounter monsters beyond the foundation-building stage this time?"

Dugu Xiahou laughed and said, "Friend Xia, you are worrying too much. The sect has been standing for many years, and it knows the distribution of monsters on this ground well. It knows where there are golden core stage monsters and where there are foundation building stage monsters." Monsters, although there are occasional changes, but the general situation is the same. The tasks they arranged for us foundation-building disciples are all to encounter monsters beyond the foundation-building period. It's okay to say monsters, if they meet people, they will be serious. It's dangerous."

Xia He's heart moved, and he asked, "Human? Is the fellow Taoist Dugu talking about those wandering cultivators?"

Dugu Xiahou said, "Yes, what these wandering cultivators can survive on the territory of Sifang Xianzong and refuse to obey Sifang Xianzong's discipline, is to grab food from Sifang Xianzong's bowl."

Xia He widened his eyes and said, "Could it be that they dare to rob the sect?"

Dugu Xiahou broke his fingers and said, "Spiritual stones, elixir, ores, monsters, as long as they are related to cultivating immortals, they will rob them of everything, and after they rob, they will definitely kill people and silence them. The fear is that their faces will be seen. It was posted on the wanted jade in the Law Enforcement Hall. Therefore, these wandering immortal cultivators are all killers. Although we are all immortal cultivators, we are not afraid of them, but they are also troublesome if we encounter them. The best policy is to complete the task smoothly."

After finishing speaking, Dugu Xiahou took a look at the surrounding environment, and said to the immortal cultivator behind him, "Everyone, work hard, the following is the meeting point of Fengyi, and after passing the meeting point of Fengyi, the batch of elixir is located. Here we are!" Let’s take a rest at the assembly point and start our journey.”

The journey of the immortal cultivators has been quite a while. Although it is an imperial envoy's magic weapon, it consumes a lot of mana and spiritual energy. They just need a place to rest, meditate and practice, and recover their spiritual energy. They are very happy to hear Dugu Xiahou's words. The magical instruments controlled under him also accelerated, and they were about to rush to the meeting point of Fengyi in one go.

After arriving at the meeting point of Fengyi, what Dugu Xiahou and Xiahe saw was a piece of scorched earth. The place where there were many houses was now a ruin. A heavy rain poured over, mixing the ashes into a ball of black slurry.

Dugu Xiahe looked at the beams and pillars of the house erected like animal remains, and some of the burnt wood still had glistening ice cubes, his face was blue, his fists were clenched tightly, his teeth were clenched, and a sentence burst out between his teeth , "Wandering immortal cultivator."

Hearing Dugu Xiahe's words, the treasures of the cultivators behind him burst into flames, and the five-flowered magic weapon was already lit up. Xiahe's treasured light flew in front of him to defend, and walked to Dugu Xiahou, "Dugu said Friends, the Fengyi meeting point has been destroyed, should we go in and see what happened?"

Dugu Xiahou's eyes flashed sharply, he held his magic weapon, the big iron nail, and said to all the immortal cultivators, "Brothers, you are waiting outside now, Daoist Xia and I will gather first and have a look."

After entering the assembly point, Xiahe saw devastation everywhere, black ash mixed with water, forming black spots on the ground, stepping on the stone slabs of the street, he could only hear the continuous crisp sound, looked down , the stone slabs for paving the road have been burnt to a grayish white color, obviously they have been baked brittle by the fire. When walking on the road, one should not only be careful with one’s feet, but also pay attention to the top of the head. .

"Corpse." Dugu Xiahou pointed to the front, Xia He looked forward, and half a corpse protruded from the door of a ruined shop. The man was buried under the rubble below his waist, and the exposed body part had been Shrunk into a ball on fire, two deep and long scratches were scratched on the ground with both hands, obviously scratched randomly under severe pain.On the opposite side of the ruins, there were a few pieces of corpses scattered. The corpses were frozen hard and white, and the ice on them had already begun to melt, dripping with muddy water.

Then walking all the way, you can see the dead bodies of immortal cultivators everywhere, either burned to death by fire, or beaten to pieces by ice, all immortal cultivators in the assembly point were slaughtered, even the houses were destroyed Destroyed, it can be seen that the killer's methods are ruthless.

Xia He's fists were clenched and creaked. He had spent some time at the assembly point of the small station. Seeing the tragic situation at the assembly point of Fengyi, he couldn't help but feel a bit sad. He said to the solemn Dugu Xiahou, "This is really a shocking case. A meeting point was razed to the ground, and all the cultivators inside were killed. What kind of deep hatred did this happen?"

Dugu Xiahou said with a cold face, "It's another wandering immortal cultivator who is insane. He kills people and sets fire, which is very ruthless. Look here, it's either burning or freezing. The immortal cultivator who attacked is also practicing water and fire magic." With a wave, the hurricane spewed out from his cuff, blowing away a large piece of ruins, revealing the emptiness of the store, "See, maybe he's a veteran, he searched so cleanly, leaving nothing behind. "

Xia He thought to himself that the meeting point of Fengyi had been destroyed, and it was obviously not possible to rest here, so he asked immediately, "Fellow Daoist Dugu, what should we do now, we can't stay at the meeting point of Fengyi."

Dugu Xiahou turned around, "Fellow Daoist Xiahe, the wandering immortal cultivator who attacked may not have gone far, we should not stay for long, tell the brothers to set off quickly, and arrive at the place where the elixir is received, where our sect's golden elixir The senior sits in the town, waiting for wandering immortal cultivators who dare not go there presumptuously."

Dugu Xiahou and Xiahe came out of the ruins of the assembly point of Fengyi, and gathered with the immortal cultivators waiting outside. Dugu Xiahou told the immortal cultivators about the tragic situation in the assembly point, which caused a lot of sighs and curses, but there were also Many people were worried that the immortal cultivator would come out, and after hearing Dugu Xiahou's decision, everyone agreed to go on the road immediately.

Fortunately, nothing happened on the way to where the elixir was located. After arriving at the place, Dugu Xiahou left the immortal cultivator to count the elixir, and took Xia He to the senior Jindanqi who was in charge of guarding the elixir to explain the situation.

The Jindanqi real person sitting here is named Fei Ziwu. After hearing Dugu Xiahou's description of the destruction of the Fengyi meeting point, he raised his eyebrows, "It must be the 'Ice Fire Crazy Wolf' Tian Liuxing. He is very spicy and known for his crazy behavior. It is fine to rob the Zongmen's transport team, but he did not expect that he would dare to destroy the gathering point of Fengyi brazenly this time. The Zongmen can no longer leave him alone. After this time, I want to report to the Zongmen, so that the Law Enforcement Hall can send disciples to kill the madmen."

Dugu Xiahou waited until Fei Ziwu stopped talking before asking, "Uncle Fei, my nephew has some doubts. This time we are escorting the elixir back to the sect. If we meet Natian Liuxing on the way, our life and death matters are trivial. The safety of the medicine is a big deal, and I ask Master Fei to help me a little bit."

Fei Ziwu thought for a moment, then said, "Na Tian Liuxing is known as an ice-fire mad wolf. Ice-fire means he is proficient in both ice and fire spells. Crazy means he acts recklessly. Wolf means that he acts like the wind, making people catch him." Without a trace, it is like a lone wolf in the wilderness.

Tian Liuxing committed crimes and never appeared in the same place twice.You escort the elixir back, so you don't have to worry about meeting Tian Liuxing.But just to be on the safe side, if you hold this talisman, Tian Liuxing is only at the late stage of foundation establishment, and there are several monks in the middle stage of foundation establishment among you, and with this talisman, you should be able to deal with him.

But the old man said ugly things first, this talisman was rubbed out of the old man's natal magic treasure, and it took the old man a lot of hard work and energy. That's all, but if there is no danger on the road and you return to the sect, you have to return the talisman to me. "

Dugu Xiahou accepted the talisman from Tian Liuxing, thanked him again and again, and assured Tian Liuxing that he would carefully escort the elixir, and would protect the property of the sect with all his might, and would not abuse the talisman. Return it to Fei Ziwu intact.
