Chapter 167 The dust has settled
At this point, Lin Xian'er's mind suddenly flashed back to the words the Soul Devouring Tree had said earlier. Her heart tightened, and she quickly instructed the system to completely conceal the aura of the Golden Dragon and the Soul Devouring Tree, leaving no trace.
Fortunately, she never thought of relying on the golden dragon and the soul-devouring tree to deal with the current crisis from the beginning, otherwise she would probably be the most difficult person to deal with at this moment.
At this moment, the sky was vast and swirling with clouds and mist. Shen Chong was seen scratching his head with an irritated look on his face and shouting to his senior brother beside him, "Senior Brother, why are you bothering these people? We are out here looking for the Golden Dragon, and we don't have much time left."
As he spoke, he looked around anxiously, as if trying to find any trace of the golden dragon in the vast sky. However, after such a long search, he still had no clue, not even the slightest clue about the hiding place of the damned golden dragon.
Long Yanzhi, who was standing aside, had a calm expression on his face. He just uttered one word lightly, "Let's go."
Before he finished speaking, his figure vanished from the scene like a ghost. Seeing this, the others didn't dare to delay even a moment, and followed closely behind him with their skills. In the blink of an eye, they were gone together, leaving behind only the empty sky and Wuming, who was still wailing in pain on the ground below.
Wuming was filled with resentment and resentment at this moment. His body was in immense pain from the incomplete transformation. He had originally thought of using this group of cultivators who had suddenly appeared to devour their flesh and blood, thus completing his transformation into a demon more quickly and smoothly.
But who could have expected that things would go against his wishes, not only did he fail to achieve his goal, but he also attracted such a group of powerful guys, and put himself in such a miserable situation now.
Wuming lay on the ground, enduring the pain in his body, and waited quietly for a while. Seeing that there was no abnormal situation in the sky, he thought that he could finally take this opportunity to escape from this dangerous place.
After all, at this moment, his injuries were too serious. If he continued to stay here and fight with those immortal cultivators, he would probably end up dead.
So, Wuming struggled to stand up and was about to turn around and leave when suddenly a black shadow rushed towards him like lightning.
Taking a closer look, Wuming saw it was that familiar brick again. His eyes widened, and he cursed inwardly, "Fuck you! How many more of these damn bricks does this woman have?"
Seeing the brick approaching like a flash of lightning, whistling with a chilling gust of wind, Wuming widened his eyes and tried to dodge, but he found that his body could not keep up with the speed of his thoughts, and he had no time to react.
Only four dull thuds of "bang", "bang", "bang", and "bang" were heard in succession, each of which was like a heavy hammer hitting Wuming's heart.
In an instant, severe pain spread throughout his body, Wuming's eyes went dark, and he fainted again.
At the last moment when his consciousness was about to fade away, he used up his last strength, stared at Lin Xian'er's hateful face, and squeezed out a sentence from between his teeth: "You...just wait and see for me", and then he completely lost consciousness.
Lin Xian'er, seeing Wuming finally knocked unconscious by her, breathed a sigh of relief. This was a rare opportunity to snatch up a bargain, and she definitely wouldn't let it go.
So, she immediately gestured to the Xiaoyun Sect disciples behind her. Those Xiaoyun Sect disciples were clearly well prepared, their movements were exceptionally skillful.
They quickly took out various binding instruments and ropes, and deftly tied up the unconscious Wuming. The entire process was done in one go, without a single drag.
People from other forces around witnessed this scene and couldn't help but stare in amazement. These guys from the Xiaoyun Sect were really "ruthless and decisive".
After everything was settled, everyone began to clean up the mess and set out on the journey back to Qingfeng Town.
Due to the fierce fighting in the past few days, all the major forces have suffered some damage. Therefore, everyone decided to rest in this small town for a while and recuperate.
At the same time, the question of how to deal with Wuming has become the focus of everyone's discussion. After all, Wuming's identity is special and his strength is not bad. If he is not handled properly, there will probably be endless troubles.
As for these weirdos in Xiaoyun Sect, people from all major forces felt helpless and amused.
The people of Xiaoyun Sect seemed to have lost interest in the subsequent events, or were simply too lazy to care about them.
So, the next morning, everyone in Xiaoyun Sect said goodbye without hesitation and hurriedly set off on the road back to the sect. They couldn't wait to return to the sect and share with their fellow disciples the amazing and heroic performance of their junior master during this trip.
Meanwhile, Lin Xian'er chose to act alone with Xie Qijun. The two walked side by side, heading towards Xie Qijun's clan territory.
After an unknown amount of time, Xie Qijun, who had been walking silently, suddenly stopped and stared at Lin Xian'er beside him with a serious expression, without saying a word.
Lin Xian'er was startled by his sudden action and couldn't help but wonder, "What's wrong with this guy? Could it be that he suddenly wanted to kill his master?"
As soon as this thought came to her mind, Lin Xian'er herself felt a little absurd and ridiculous. However, facing Xie Qijun's serious expression, Lin Xian'er couldn't help but feel a little flustered, and her scalp felt numb.
Xie Qijun, though outwardly silent, felt a pang of pain deep within him from hearing Lin Xian'er's heartfelt words. Could it be that his master didn't trust him so much? Thinking of this, he gently shook his head, secretly resolving to prove himself with concrete actions and completely change his master's opinion of him.
After a while, Xie Qijun broke the silence and slowly said, "Master, there is something I hope you can help me with. I hope you can keep this painting for me."
Before he finished speaking, he reached out from the storage bag at his waist and took out a scroll - it was the mysterious picture of the longevity of heaven and earth.
It turned out that when everyone was busy tying up Wuming, Xie Qijun took advantage of the chaos and stole the picture.
For some reason, whenever Xie Qijun saw this picture, there was only one thought in his mind: get it.
