Mortal Mage

"He is a disciple of the Xuanjian Sect. The Xuanjian Sect has no grudge against our Chenfeng Sword Sect. This is not your personal grudge, but involves the relationship between the sects."

Hua Yu stepped forward to the green sword inserted into the stone, grasped the flying sword, exerted force suddenly, and pulled the flying sword out with a "swoosh". She turned sideways to Li Xucheng and continued to persuade him, "If you want to kill him, you can do it by your own ability. I can only protect you from getting hurt. If you want to kill someone, I can't help you."

She threw the green sword back to Li Xucheng, then used two fingers to control her flying sword to her side; "We need to leave Monster Island through the Immortal City as soon as possible. This month's training ends here."

After saying that, Hua Yu jumped onto the flying sword.

Li Xucheng took the green sword and put it into the storage bag issued by the sect. He walked towards Hua Yu who was standing on the sword. At the same time, he glared fiercely at Bai Zheng who was dozens of steps away. He jumped up and stepped one foot on the hilt of Hua Yu's flying sword.

Li Xucheng and Hua Yu rode on the same flying sword. He held Hua Yu's shoulder with one hand and stroked his beard with the other. He pouted and sneered at Bai Zheng proudly. "What are you looking at? My Chenfeng Sword Sect is powerful and famous all over the world. You are a small Xuanjian sect with a small reputation. Why are you trying to get close to my Haoran Sword Sect? When I succeed in building my foundation, I will personally kill you!"

After hearing this, Bai Zheng's brows were twisted into a knot.

He stroked his chin and looked at Li Xucheng who was leaving with Hua Yu on a flying sword. His expression was full of doubt and there was a cold light in the corners of his eyes.

After Li Xucheng and Hua Yu completely disappeared in the clouds, he took out a green jade slip from the storage bag on his waist, held it in front of his mouth, and said, "Master, Li Xucheng went to Xianzhou City, his personality changed drastically, and he wanted to kill me."

He thought for a moment and continued, "I don't know how Li Xucheng came to the Cuiyun Fairyland, and I don't know how he entered the outer sect of the Chenfeng Sword Sect. Now he has reached the fourth level of Qi Refining!"

As soon as he finished speaking, the sound transmission jade tablet in his hand turned into blue star mist and dissipated and disappeared.

-

The gray sky.

A vast swampy terrain comes into view.

In wisps and curls, the pale mist rises slowly and heavily from the swamp.

The dark blue water surface sparkled with green light, and the water plants in the swamp swayed gently in the breeze.

Vines hang in an orderly manner on some bare tree trunks on the outskirts of the swamp.

Death is cold, yet full of vitality and tenacity.

The terrain in the swamp is undulating, forming some small islands, and is filled with a damp and fishy smell.

In the water, a frog jumped from the grass onto a white bone, making clear calls accompanied by the sound of the wind.

An undecayed corpse of a monster covered with yellow patterns was stuck at the edge of the swamp. The scene of the monster struggling at the moment of death could still be vaguely seen.

The monster's wet fur stuck to its body, and its eyes still revealed the fear of death.

With a "click" sound, a pair of gray cloth shoes embroidered with runes in white thread stepped heavily on the tiger skin.

Stage 1 Monster - Tabby Wolf

-

"Haha, Brother Ye, you are really nice!"

Bu Dazhen stroked the bearded tiger and whispered as he stepped on a monster as big as a tiger but with a head like a wolf.

"Tsk tsk, of course. Thanks to Brother Bu's cleverness in setting up the trap in the swamp. If not, how could we have subdued this ferocious raccoon wolf in just half a month? If it were me alone, it would be difficult to subdue it."

Ye Buwen raised the long sword in his hand and stabbed it into the center of the brow of the wolf monster's head with a "puff". Then he inserted his bare hands into the monster's head and fumbled around for a while, pulling out a walnut-sized, colorful black bead. He laughed loudly and said excitedly with thin lips, "Tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk, this monster looks like a juvenile, but I didn't expect it to be an adult. I'm really lucky today! With this demon pill, I have a chance to break through to the middle stage of foundation building!"

"Haha, now that the demon pill of this raccoon wolf has been obtained, you and I should hurry to Xianzhou City and return to our respective sects to avoid wasting body protection talismans going in and out of Monster Island."

"Okay, okay! Call two disciples."

As Ye Bushen finished speaking, suddenly a green light flashed in front of him, and he quickly reached out and grabbed it; "You and I just took the demon pill, and this good disciple sent me a message, haha."

The starlight immediately gathered into a sound transmission jade slip, which emitted Bai Zheng's voice, "Master, Li Xucheng went to Xianzhou City, his personality changed drastically, and he wanted to kill me."

After hearing this, the two were stunned and looked at each other.

Ye Buwen frowned; "How is this possible! My fire burning talisman will never go wrong!"

"Could it be that someone in the lower realm has repaired the teleportation array again?"

He asked Bu Dazhen in a rough voice.

Bu Dazhen racked his brains and thought deeply for a long time. He stroked his beard and shook his head heavily. "It is impossible for those shrimp soldiers and crab generals in Canglang Continent to repair the teleportation array! Moreover, the cross-interface teleportation array requires immortals from the upper realm to set up. If it wasn't for the immortal who bought the spirit vein to help them set it up?"

"After that immortal took the spiritual vein, he had already flown away from Canglang, which is even more impossible."

Ye Buwen shook his head and thought hard, but he had no clue.

"We can only find a way to catch that old bastard Li Xucheng and get to the bottom of it!"

Bu Dazhen stepped forward and put the monster's corpse into his storage ring.

"Let's go! Pick up the two disciples first, and then we'll go to Xianzhou City together. That old man will definitely leave Yaozhou from Xianzhou City! I was quite friendly to that old man when I was in Canglang, so I'll go and ask him in person to find out the truth!"

After hearing this, Ye Buwen nodded slightly, "Let's go!"

As soon as he finished speaking, a flying sword appeared beside each of them. They stepped on the sword, rose up, and flew away.
