Aspiring to the Immortal Path Chapter 88: Grab money

Beside the turbid water pool, a Direhorn was drinking water by the pool. It raised its head from time to time to observe possible dangers.

The thick neck limited its field of vision. It could hardly turn back and could only see behind it by turning around. Therefore, it did not notice that behind it, a dead leaf was slowly moving towards it.

As it gradually approached, the Direhorn suddenly felt uneasy in its heart.

The beast's innate intuition made it aware of the approaching danger. It raised its head sharply, stepped on its four hooves and rushed directly to the side.

At the same time, a cold light suddenly flashed from the dead leaves behind, hitting the most vulnerable point behind the horned beast's buttocks.

"Ouch!" The Direhorn let out an earth-shattering roar and stepped on all four hooves, trying to escape from this dangerous place.

However, several green vines suddenly grew up under his feet and wrapped tightly around it, making it impossible for it to break free for a while.

It roared angrily, and a yellow light suddenly appeared on its body. It looked like it was about to activate some spell.

At this moment, the sword light suddenly flashed out, and a sharp light and shadow appeared, quickly cutting along the white line on the back of the Direhorn's head.

With a bang, the head of this giant creature fell down.

The figure flashed in the air, and Tang Jie's body had landed on the horned beast.

Looking at the corpse, he smiled and said: "We're lucky, now we have meat to eat."

The Direhorn is a low-grade monster. Although it is bulky, it is actually extremely capable of escaping. Its scales are extremely hard. Its innate spell can be Earth Escape. It can only be killed by sneak attack and hitting the vital part on the back of its head with one blow. die.

At this moment, Tang Jie had begun to dissect the horned beast. This guy's scales and horn are good materials. All the essence is concentrated here, but there is nothing valuable in the body.

The horns and armor are being peeled off here, and the little tiger has rushed up and gnawed at the animal carcass, leaving its mouth full of blood, which is extremely indecent.

"Don't worry, it's all yours." Tang Jie touched the tiger's head and smiled.

The little tiger grunted as an answer.

Lying on Tang Jie's shoulder, watching Tang Jie busy, he asked curiously: "Brother, why don't we go back to Xiyue Academy when all the bad guys are dead?"

Tang Jie replied while peeling off the armor: "What's the rush? It's a rare trip out, and here again is the Yunwuze where the monsters are entrenched. I can kill the monsters and get some benefits, isn't it good?"

"Yunwuze is very dangerous. There are many, many powerful monsters."

"Then it's even more important to look for opportunities and see what we can gain."

"But we are not short of money now. Didn't my brother say that we made a lot this time?"

Tang Jie's hand stopped for a moment, and after thinking for a moment, he replied: "Yes, but it may not necessarily be ours."

"Huh?" Yiyi was puzzled.

"Yiyi, you are still young, and there are many things you don't understand yet. Even if I tell you, you may not understand. But you have to remember that in the world of immortality, although strength is respected, there is no end to improvement in strength. No matter how powerful you are, you will find that there is always someone more powerful above you suppressing you. Unless one day your strength reaches the point where you are the only one in the world, otherwise everything you do is best done more. Consider it."

Speaking of this, Tang Jie raised his head and looked at Yiyi. He smiled and said: "If we go back to Xiyue College now, the college will definitely punish me because of the lies I told before. In this case, you Do you think they will acknowledge my contribution in bringing back Evergreen Head?"

Yiyi asked in surprise: "No way? But you said that big sects pay attention to reputation."

"Of course, but what is reputation? It is something used to promote to the outside world. Xiyue student Tang Jie was robbed, and the Xiyue sect launched a large-scale rescue operation, spending countless manpower and material resources. How to calculate this account? Gu Changqing's head must be calculated The value? No problem, but the Xiyue Sect spent so much manpower and material resources to save me. It is only natural to settle accounts with me, right? When the time comes, you will find out that Gu Changqing’s head is not worth the money, let alone one. , even these things I got from killing Gu Changqing and the others will probably be used to pay off the debt, and maybe it is not enough and I will still owe them. Two hundred thousand, it sounds like a lot, but that is for an individual! It is used to pay for a great cultivator. The mobilization of a large number of manpower... is just a drop in the bucket."

"But you helped them eliminate many bad guys from Tianshen Palace."

"Yes, but they don't have to pay this debt. The powerful party may not be able to do whatever they want, but the powerful party must also have the right to speak... They make the rules!"

"They will do this?" Yiyi was surprised.

"I didn't say they will definitely do this, but at least there is a possibility? I am no longer Tang Jie, and I have no expectations for the moon-washing party. Since I have no expectations, I have to recoup some of the costs I have put in. ." Tang Jie replied meaningfully: "Don't test human nature. If you don't want to be disappointed, try not to give them such an opportunity."

Yiyi pouted: "The Xiyue Sect is so bad!"

Tang Jie laughed loudly: "Silly girl, I told you this is just a possibility. Don't blame others for things they haven't done."

"What should we do?"

"Simple, find a safe place to hide all the proceeds, wait until you return to Xiyue Academy, and then leave after the matter is settled... When you have money, everyone will settle accounts with you, and when you have no money When the time comes, there is no need for this.”

If Tang Jie returns to Xiyue College with all his belongings, it’s hard to say how many people in the college will transform from saviors into blood-eating wolves. Without Tang Jie’s amulet, many former Convenience will disappear.

These conveniences may not be visible at ordinary times, but when you lose them, you will feel unable to move forward.

For this reason, Tang Jie would not give others such an opportunity under any circumstances.

Only then did Yiyi understand why Tang Jie wanted to wander around in the clouds and mist. He was looking for a more suitable place to store his property.

Tang Jie continued: "Actually, it's not just this reason. There is also another reason. No matter how I lie, it is somewhat unjustifiable for me as a Lingquan stage practitioner to deal with Gu Changqing, a ninth stage cultivator. . So the top priority is to work hard to advance to the Spirit Lake stage first, so that we can have an explanation after we go back."

"Is it reasonable for Linghu to treat Jiuzuan?" No matter how ignorant Yiyi is, this thing sounds unreliable enough.

As a cultivator at the 14th level of the 5th realm, it is normal to challenge beyond the level, but it is absolutely abnormal to challenge beyond the realm.

The realm is a qualitative change. An excellent Linghu student may easily defeat an ordinary Linghai student, but it is almost impossible for an excellent Linghai student to defeat the worst Transcendent realm.

"...Well, it's more reasonable than Lingquan versus Nine Revolutions."

Yiyi folded her arms and looked like a young adult: "I don't think it's very reasonable."

"...It's better to get closer." Tang Jie said sarcastically: "This matter can only be taken one step at a time. We must first solve the realm problem. Whether it is escaping or fighting back, we need to have enough strength. Only when you have the confidence can you explain it easily."

"But how long will it take for you to enter Spirit Lake?"

"It won't take long." Tang Jie replied: "I'm sure. As long as I unlock the new rain spell in the empty mountain, I can enter the Spirit Lake in a month at most."

With the powerful physical quality brought about by Li Jing's physical training, Tang Jie's cultivation efficiency is much higher than that of others. If he hadn't delayed his realm improvement in order to quickly improve his strength, he would have been able to enter the Spirit Lake at his speed.

Now that Gu Changqing is dead and the Tianshen Palace has come to an end for the time being, Tang Jie can finally go all out to improve his realm. In addition, there are some medicines to assist cultivation in the three mustard bags. Tang Jie said that he can return to the spiritual lake within a month. It's really not a lie.

The only thing that restrains him is the Nakhon Mountain New Rain Curse.

With this spell, he cannot gather spiritual energy and cannot practice.

However, conjuration is not innate, and no spell can exist for a long time without support. These days, Tang Jie has been attacking the Kongshan New Rain Curse. Without the blessing and restriction of the people in Eagle Hall, Tang Jie can feel that the Kongshan New Rain Curse has become loose. I believe that it won't be long before he can break through this restriction on his own. , truly regaining strength.

"But once you enter Spirit Lake, you can no longer enter Tiger Roaring Valley."

"It's just that you can't enter as a hunter, but you can still enter with other identities. Furthermore, the resources of Tiger Roaring Valley are limited and the cost is high. After all, it is just a place for us to experience the cultivation life, not a suitable place to obtain resources. Land. For me, after obtaining the blood refining, there is no need to go there anymore. At worst, I can go and see Wang Poguan occasionally."

"It has left many monsters for you."

"Leave it to the young master."

"You want him to go to Tiger Roaring Peak?"

"...I know this is difficult, but there will always be a way." Tang Jie smiled and said: "Okay, no matter what, what we have to do next is to practice and improve ourselves!"

Yiyi nodded and shouted: "Well, practice! Practice! Yiyi also wants to practice, and fight bad guys with her brother in the future!"

"Okay." Tang Jie laughed.

At this moment, Tang Jie's ears suddenly twitched, his face changed slightly, he stretched out his finger and whispered softly beside his mouth.

The little guy understood and asked in a low voice: "Is someone coming?"

After following Gu Changqing for so many days, Tang Jie has made significant progress in insight, so at this moment he noticed that the fluctuations of spiritual energy behind him were abnormal.

Tang Jie nodded: "They should be the ones chasing Gu Changqing. Let's go and don't let them find out."

As he spoke, Tang Jie tore off a piece of flesh and blood from his body, threw it far away, and rushed towards the depths of the swamp.

Not long after, dozens of figures appeared in the swamp.

A strong man glanced at the body of the Direhorn on the ground and said: "He died not long ago, so he must be nearby. Spread out the search, you guys go here, you guys go there , keep in touch, don’t fight when you encounter a target, send a warning immediately, others follow me!”

The crowd dispersed in an instant, running in various directions. Looking at the uniform movements, it was obvious that everyone was a well-trained expert. However, judging from their clothes, these people were obviously not members of the Xiyue Sect, and should be literary. Some small sects in the heart of China.

The fierce man led a group of people and chased him down in the direction where Tang Jie had walked. From time to time, flashes of light flashed in his eyes, and everything around him could be seen without missing a single thing.

While running wildly, the man shouted: "Stop!"

Everyone stopped at the same time. The man looked around and suddenly pointed at a large rock in the distance. Everyone behind him raised their hands at the same time.

The next moment, countless flying fireballs appeared from their hands, the light of the sword~IndoMTL.com~the sword energy, and the rumble of the flying shuttle intertwined into a sharp light and shadow, and exploded towards the distant boulder.

With one blast, the boulder was blown to pieces.

When the smoke cleared, the fierce man walked over, took a look, grabbed a fox corpse, and said, "It turns out to be a cunning fox, let's go!"

The group of people quickly disappeared into the forest.

When the person was far away, a figure slowly rose from the mud not far from the big rock.

It is Tang Jie.

Looking at the direction of the pursuer, he murmured to himself: "It's strange, why are you so ruthless when you come up? It means you don't want to live. Could it be that you also want to kill me? Yes, the Xiyue Sect. They only said that Gu Changqing's head would be handed over, but they didn't say that Tang Jie must be brought back alive... Damn it, they are not here to save people, but to steal money."

Tang Jie suddenly understood that these people didn't care about Tang Jie's life or death at all, they only cared about Gu Changqing's head.

If Tang Jie is in the hands of Gu Changqing, then they actually still have hope of becoming Tang Jie's life-saving straw.

But when Gu Changqing died, the nature of these people immediately changed.

It goes without saying that if these people find out that he killed Gu Changqing, the fate that awaits him next is not to save people, but to kill immediately to seize the head.

If Tang Jie hadn't had his own plan and wanted to return to Xiyue Academy some time later, by the time he saw these people mistook them for reinforcements and approached them, they would probably be dead by now.

These small sects do not have as many rules as the Xiyue Sect. Reputation is not important to them, only interests and strength come first!

"Then what should we do now?" Yiyi asked hurriedly.

A murderous intent flashed through Tang Jie's eyes: "Ignore them for now, wait until I break the new rain spell in the empty mountain and rush to the Spirit Lake, then deal with them one by one."

"But you said not to convict the other party of something they didn't do."

"This is invalid!"
