Seven-star Sword Master

Wang Qingping personally escorted the group to the Forbidden Demon Gate, and only turned and left after watching them disappear from his sight.

After leaving the Forbidden Demon Gate, Lu Feipeng had only a brief chat with Dou Fei, and then left with the team.

After walking for a distance, Ma Chengyou asked Lu Feipeng to walk to the front and lead the way.

Because they had been there once before and there were road signs left along the way, a group of more than a dozen people, led by Lu Feipeng, rushed straight to their destination.

At first, the people from the three villages thought that the young man was being too reckless because of his fast speed.

Not only the people from the three villages, but even Ma Chengyou and the other three villagers felt that Lu Feipeng's behavior was inappropriate.

So, for the sake of their own safety, people from three villages quickly found Ma Chengyou quietly.

I told Ma Chengyou about this and asked him to go and persuade them.

They already had a preconceived idea in their minds that Lu Feipeng's actions were too hasty and reckless, and thought that he might want to complete the task assigned by the Ningtai Township Inspection Office as soon as possible.

Although it is true that they also received the task from the Ningtai Township Inspection Office, don’t they have the final say on the attitude towards the task?

It is true that we accepted the mission from above and followed the orders of the people from your Sanjia Village;

But this doesn't mean that they will have to risk their lives with you in this mission!

So Ma Chengyou hurriedly chased to Lu Feipeng's side and raised his hand to signal the team to stop for a while.

Seeing that Ma Chengyou not only stopped him but also stopped the entire team, Lu Feipeng looked at Ma Chengyou with confusion and asked:

"What's wrong, Master Ma? Is there anything you can do for me?"

"That's right, Captain Lu. The wilderness is very dangerous. You should know that, right?"

Ma Chengyou did not tell Lu Feipeng right away why they were traveling so fast, but raised the question in a somewhat tactful way.

"Hey, I think it's nothing."

After saying this, Lu Feipeng looked around and saw that everyone's expressions were just as he expected, and they all looked quite dissatisfied.

At this moment, how could Lu Feipeng not understand what everyone was thinking?

So he quickly explained:

"Oh, I see, so this is what you are asking about, Master Ma.

You may not know that because there are groups of magic rabbits around here, all the demons nearby are now scared away by the magic rabbits."

He spoke these words quite loudly, and it was obvious that he was not just explaining them to Ma Chengyou alone, he also wanted everyone to hear them.

"I see……"

It was not until this moment that everyone acted as if they had suddenly realized something.

It seems that I was wrong. It turns out that this guy is not impatient for success, but really confident.

After Lu Feipeng said this, everyone realized that they really didn't encounter any invasion of demons along the way, which seemed to prove what Lu Feipeng said.

With more confidence in their hearts, the group sped up their journey.

We followed the signs along the way and finally arrived at the foot of the first mountain just as it was getting dark.

Climbing to the top of the mountain under the moonlight, Lu Feipeng raised his hand and pointed to the next mountain and said to the others:

"See that mountain?"

So everyone looked carefully in the direction of Lu Feipeng's finger.

Under the moonlight, the outline of the mountain that Lu Feipeng mentioned could be vaguely seen.

Ma Chengyou, who was standing by, asked Lu Feipeng after seeing the mountain:

"Captain Lu, is it on that hilltop that you discovered the traces of the magic rabbits?"

“Yes, Master Ma, it takes about an hour and a half to get from here to the next hilltop.

It took about half an hour to climb the mountain, and it was on the top of the mountain that I saw the traces of the group of magic rabbits.

However, it would take two hours to get from that hilltop to where I found the group of magic rabbits even if I traveled at full speed.

Besides, two days have passed since I last found the traces of the magic rabbits. It may take some time to get closer to the magic rabbits."

Lu Feipeng told everyone what he had seen and heard in one breath, so as to avoid the trouble of people asking questions.

At this time, Ma Chengyou and the village envoys from the other three villages were sitting on an open space nearby, breathing heavily.

I only heard Ma Chengyou breathlessly saying to several colleagues beside him:

"Old Yang, Old Chen, Old Zhou, time really is merciless.

Looking back to the years when we went out on missions, we always had to rush for a whole day and we didn’t even breathe hard at the end of the day.

But now, after only half a day's journey, I am already out of breath, ah..."

After saying this, Ma Chengyou shook his head and sighed.

"Well, who says it's not true? We have to admit that we are old."

These words were said by Chen Xueyuan from Xiaowangzhuang nearby.

They were all of similar age, and were all village envoys sent from the Ningtai Township Inspection Office;

When they were young, they both worked in the Inspection Department, so they were quite familiar with each other.

Several people sighed that time is not forgiving. After resting for a while, Ma Chengyou said to the other three:

“My friends, even though the surrounding demons have been scared away by the group of magic rabbits, we still cannot let our guard down.

So I'd like to trouble you all to gather the people you brought with you so that we can discuss the night duty issue."

Although the Ningtai Township Inspection Office sent a letter asking the people in the three villages to temporarily follow their arrangements.

But if nothing happened, Ma Chengyou would not be willing to do this thankless task.

Moreover, this might offend others, so unless anything happened, he was unwilling to act arbitrarily and would try to have everyone negotiate together.

For example, regarding the night duty, he planned to let the three of them negotiate it themselves.

"Clap clap clap!"

After the other three village envoys nodded in agreement, Chen Dongsheng on the side quickly clapped his hands and said to the others:

"Come on, come on, everyone, please come for a moment. Some of the elders have something to say."

So after hearing Chen Dongsheng's words, everyone stood up and gathered towards Ma Chengyou and the others.

The next moment, a group of more than a dozen people sat in a circle.

“My fellow Taoists, although the demons nearby were scared away by the group of demon rabbits.

We haven't found any traces of demons along the way, but we still can't let our guard down, so someone still has to keep watch."

After all, everyone was tired after the long journey, so Ma Chengyou didn't beat around the bush and directly stated his purpose.

There was nothing to discuss, so Zhou Changjun from Donghai Village suggested:

"The night watch should be divided into two shifts. I suggest that each village send one person to take the night watch, so that everyone can rest assured."

What Zhou Changjun said made a lot of sense. Their team was put together at short notice, so there was no trust between them at all.

Therefore, as soon as Zhou Changjun's proposal came out, it was sought after by many people.

So the team was quickly divided into groups of four, Lu Feipeng, Huang Qingqi, Yu Shilong, and Chen Yujun, responsible for guarding the first half of the night.

In the second half of the night, Wang Yushi, Wang Xuelong, Zhang Wenlian and Wang Baixue were on duty.

After all, they just met each other and no one trusts anyone else.

Therefore, each team has its own monks on duty at night, so they can feel at ease when resting.

After everything was arranged, Chen Dongsheng spoke to everyone appropriately:

"Please listen to me, the four old men are old, and they have been traveling for a long time.

So if there is nothing to do at night, let the elders take a rest. We are enough to take care of the guard duty."

There were enough people. After all, every village had a resident envoy, so it was difficult for them to refuse.

"First, light the fire."

So someone among Lu Feipeng and his companions immediately fetched firewood from the side.

It was not until the fire started that Lu Feipeng stood up and said to his partners who had been on duty for the first half of the night:

"Excuse me, I need to go to the bathroom."

Huang Pingqi just stopped and said:

"Captain Lu, please come back quickly and remember to be safe on the road..."

After getting the consent of his new partner, Lu Feipeng hurriedly bowed to several teammates and said:

"I'm sorry, everyone."

After saying this, Lu Feipeng disappeared from everyone's sight.

After leaving the team, Lu Feipeng ran down the mountain at a faster speed.

The excuse of convenience was false, in fact he wanted to find a secluded place to swallow the Soul-Attracting Pill.

That's right, today is the day for him to swallow the Soul Attracting Pill. As long as he swallows this pill, his cultivation will be able to break through to the ninth level of the Soul Attracting Realm.

The next step is to prepare for a breakthrough to the Spirit Liquid Realm.

He ran all the way, always paying attention to whether someone was following him.

Even when he reached the foot of the mountain, Lu Feipeng did not notice that anyone was following him.

"Shh..."

He took a step forward, jumped onto a big tree, and sat cross-legged on it to meditate.

He was also a man of great skill and courage, and he didn't care at all whether any demons would come to attack him during his breakthrough.

He took out a jade bottle from his arms and poured out a round soul-attracting pill from it.

After taking out the pill, he put the jade bottle into the storage bag.

He opened his mouth and swallowed the Soul-Attracting Pill in one smooth motion.

Now that he is in the wilderness full of dangers, he must improve his strength as much as possible in order to deal with sudden crises in the wilderness.

After all, that group of nearly a thousand magic rabbits is no joke.

The pill melted in the mouth and then turned into an extremely pure spiritual power that flowed into the dantian along the meridians.

After this extremely pure spiritual power rushed into the Dantian, the eight spiritual power water droplets that were originally peaceful in the Dantian suddenly became violent.

At this time, Lu Feipeng hurriedly practiced the Soul Summoning Technique, and the eight water droplets in his body began to spin like windmills under the guidance of the Soul Summoning Technique.

The rotation speed became faster and faster, and then it seemed as if a suction force came from the windmill, sucking the spiritual power in.

After this spiritual power was added, the original eight water droplets suddenly merged together.

"Boo boo..."

As the rotation speed became faster and faster, the water droplets that had originally merged together were spit out drop by drop by the windmill.

"One, two, three... seven, eight, nine."

When he counted to nine, the corners of Lu Feipeng's mouth curled up unconsciously.

He murmured to himself:

"Ninth level of the Soul Induction Realm!"
