Mortal Mage

Zhang Mingxuan hid in the mist, moving his palms and regulating his breathing, feeling the remaining true energy in his dantian, and his heart couldn't help but tighten.

He had just used all his strength to activate the Tengyun Bracelet once, and the spiritual energy in his body was drained. With his current level of cultivation, it would be difficult for him to activate the Tengyun Bracelet continuously in a short period of time.

At this time, dozens of black spots could be vaguely seen approaching in the sky outside the mountain.

"Master, there are eleven people here, and their cultivation is all in the Golden Core Stage."

Just now, Huo Fen used magic to confuse the two of them, and the demonic aura had already been leaked. Now he no longer concealed his breath and detected who was coming.

Zhang Mingxuan took out a few spirit stones from the ring and held them in his hand, recovering the spiritual power in his body, his expression becoming more and more anxious.

He didn't want to cause trouble at all, but the other party was determined to kill him.

In Xuantian Sword Sect, he could only rely on Chen Feng and Qing Lan. He had already sent a message to Qing Lan to tell her that he was in danger, but more than half an hour had passed and he had not received a reply from Qing Lan.

At this time, he was extremely angry.

At this moment, the purpose of these two deacons killing him is self-evident.

"I thought our Xuantian Sword Sect was a chivalrous and benevolent sect, but I didn't expect it to be a nest of snakes and rats." As Zhang Mingxuan said this, he waved his hand to signal Hao Fen to remove the illusion in the formation.

The white mist that filled the Fire Escape Formation disappeared in an instant, and the figures of the two people in the formation immediately appeared.

The two men looked alert and glanced around to make sure that the illusion had completely dissipated. Their eyes fell on Zhang Mingxuan at the same time.

The man in the animal pattern robe chuckled. "Humph, chivalry is something that ants play with, and the gods are the work of the ancestors of the immortal world. We are short-sighted and can't do any great good deeds. We can only do some mundane things within the scope of our cultivation." He bent down, took out a pill from his waist, stuffed it into the mouth of the lion horse lying on the ground, then stood up and stared at Zhang Mingxuan. "I don't know what strange means you used to set up the golden pill formation, but now even if you have the magical power of teleportation, you can't escape."

The man in the flaming robe stared at Zhang Mingxuan with cold eyes. "Master Qinglan just asked me to test your background. I didn't expect that." He sneered. "I didn't expect that I couldn't test your background."

According to the two deacons, their "uncle master" wanted to test their own background.

But he killed his own flying beast as soon as he made a move, and wanted to destroy himself as soon as he opened his mouth. This reason really made Zhang Mingxuan laugh.

He raised the corners of his mouth with a smile on his face, took a step back and stood behind Haofen.

Hao Fen nodded slightly to Zhang Mingxuan, and then his pupils suddenly turned white. The two people in the formation were shocked when they saw this scene. They wanted to put their hands on their waists, but they lost their minds in an instant and their faces were stunned.

At the same time, Zhang Mingxuan raised his wrist and murmured quickly, "The fallen flowers are all over the ground." The golden ring on his finger rippled a circle of space above his palm. He rushed into the fire escape formation and quickly enveloped the man in the beast pattern robe and the man in the flame robe in the formation within the space of the ring, and then whispered "Thank you". The opening of the ring above his finger immediately shrank and disappeared with a "hum".

Zhang Mingxuan’s spiritual consciousness probed into the storage ring.

The moment the man in the flaming robe and the man in the animal pattern robe lost the charm of the ghost, they suddenly woke up and saw that it was pitch black all around them. Their feet were pricked by various stones, as if they were standing on a stone mountain. They each hurriedly took out a spirit lamp.

In an instant, the surroundings became bright.

Next to the feet of the two men was a mountain of mid-grade spirit stones. Around the spirit stones, flying swords of various colors, various magic weapons were scattered, and jade slips of various exercises were piled up like a mountain.

The man in the flaming robe was shocked, and suddenly seemed to realize something. He said to the man in the animal pattern robe: "This is the illusion of the fox demon! Calm your mind quickly!"

Upon hearing this, the man in the animal-patterned robe immediately sat cross-legged, mobilized his spiritual power, and began to calm his mind.

Zhang Mingxuan looked at the reactions of the two people in the ring and was stunned for a moment.

He couldn't deal with these two people for the time being, and he just hoped that they would not touch the spirit stone and jade slips of martial arts in his ring.

At this time, the two lion horses in the formation, after losing the breath of their master, seemed to have lost water in their bodies. In a moment, they shrank into two palm-sized purple wooden Pegasus pendants.

Zhang Mingxuan bent down and picked up two Pegasus pendants and put them into his ring. Then he waved his hand and shot out a stream of green spiritual power, removing the fire escape formation. He looked behind him and saw Yu Shitao lying unconscious on the ground not far away, motionless. He scolded, "Brother Yu, stop pretending."

Yu Shitao raised one eyelid in shame, with fear on his face.

"I just want to practice alone and don't want to cause trouble, but you have seen things that you shouldn't have seen. What should I do?" Zhang Mingxuan had murderous intent on his face. At this time, his spiritual power had recovered most of it, and the Tengyun bracelet on his wrist began to glow faintly.

"Godfather! Godfather!"

Yu Shitao suddenly widened his eyes, endured the severe pain in his body, and begged anxiously, "From now on, I, Yu Shitao, will be called Zhang Shitao, and I will recognize you as my adoptive father and follow you for the rest of my life!"

Zhang Mingxuan's eyes suddenly widened, as if he had just met a new person. He shook his head in disbelief and flatly refused. "No."

"Then, I, I, I..."

Yu Shitao stared at the increasingly bright Tengyun bracelet on Zhang Mingxuan's wrist with a look of horror. He turned to Hao Fen beside Zhang Mingxuan and bowed, "I accept to be a demon servant, a servant of the fox demon!"

"Master, if he becomes my slave, he won't be able to cultivate immortality in the right way, and from now on..." Hao Fen hesitated; "from now on, his character will become more and more like... me..."

If a righteous cultivator takes the evil path to practice, his character will inevitably change.

Zhang Mingxuan had no intention of killing Yu Shitao, but his cultivation was too low at the moment and he didn't want to reveal too many of his own secrets. He just hoped that Yu Shitao could make a verbal promise, so he used the Tengyun bracelet to scare him.

But I didn't expect that this senior brother was so afraid of death.

Zhang Mingxuan looked down at Yu Shitao who was kneeling on the ground. He had no grudge against this senior brother, and he was not a vicious person. After all, he did not want to ruin his future, so he could not bear it and advised, "Senior Brother Yu, if you..."

"Being able to be a servant of a seventh-level fox demon, my life is worth it!"

Yu Shitao interrupted, and at the same time withdrew his spiritual consciousness, opened the qi sea in his body, and allowed Zhang Mingxuan and Hao Fen to peek.

At this time, Hao Fen only needed to imprint his own thoughts in Yu Shitao's dantian to control his life and death.

Hao Fen raised his eyebrows and looked at Zhang Mingxuan, asking for his opinion.

"Can this slave brand be removed in the future?"

"Yes, but if you are enslaved for too long, there will be some backlash."

"What backlash?"

"There is damage to the spiritual roots."

As he finished speaking, there were faint voices of scolding outside the mountain. It was obvious that the reinforcements that the two deacons had just called for were approaching. Zhang Mingxuan did not have time to think too much at this time, and nodded in agreement.

A wisp of white mist spit out of Haofen's mouth, shot into the center of Shitao's eyebrows and penetrated into his body. The white mist left a red blood mark with the aura of a fox demon on his forehead. Then he used his true energy to repair the broken bones and tendons in Yu Shitao's body, and then nodded to Zhang Mingxuan.

"gone."

Zhang Mingxuan threw the Ice Wind Sword in his hand to Yu Shitao; "You step on my Ice Wind Sword, and we will find a place to hide."

Yu Shitao nodded and took the Frozen Sword. He pointed at the flying sword and it floated in front of him. Hao Fen turned into a white fox and got into Zhang Mingxuan's clothes. The two of them, along with the fox, rode on a flying sword and rushed out of the forest.

At this time, eleven disciples of the sect wearing scarlet robes had already arrived at the nearby mountains. As far as the eye could see, on the top of a distant mountain, a black dot was fleeing rapidly.

"Stop chasing."

The leader raised his hand to stop his companion who was about to speed up and advised, "The demonic energy just now is at least level five. You and I should just pretend to fight, and don't waste your life."

Hearing this, several people around him stopped their flying swords that were about to speed up and nodded slightly. One of the men responded, "Brother is right. Such a big matter will definitely be investigated by the elders of the sect."
