After resting for a night in the town at the foot of the mountain, several people from Jiuxiao Sect planned to return to the sect.

For some unknown reason, the resources obtained from this sect conference were not distributed to the Shengxuan royal family according to the original rules. As a result, the resources found by Jiang Jingmo and his team all belonged to the Jiuxiao Sect.

"This is a good thing, but it's a pity that there will be no ranking between the sects this time. I wanted to see Lingyun Sect at the bottom." Nan Xun sighed, looking really regretful.

"I think it was done by Master and the others. They went to the palace and made quite a fuss." Gu Yanzhou shook his fan and turned around to see Jiang Jingmo and An Yang walking out of the inn.

Jiang Jingmo was stuffing the porcelain bottle of spiritual fruit candy into the space bag. That was the so-called "antidote" that Shen Shuli gave her last night.

"Since everyone is here, let's set off." Gu Yanzhou said with a smile, but saw An Yang looking around for something.

"Eh? Brother Meng and Yin Wu didn't come? Then how are we going to get back?"

An Yang tilted her head in confusion, and the cane beside her also imitated her, which was inexplicably cute.

"Qing Bai is busy, so we may have to walk back this time."

Gu Yanzhou touched An Yang's little head and couldn't help but laugh when he heard her still calling him Senior Brother Meng Qingbai.

Speaking of which, since An Yang has already taken Ji Chuhe as his master, he should call them uncle-master, but the little girl is still young and the people in the sect don't care about it, so they just let her call him that.

"Don't worry, this place is not too far from the sect. If we are really tired, we can still fly on the sword and enjoy the scenery."

Gu Yanzhou whispered a few words to comfort Anyang. An Yang was also easy to coax, and she nodded happily after he said a few words.

A few of them were laughing and talking, carrying bulging space bags on their backs as they walked towards the direction of Jiuxiao Sect. They didn't notice at all that Chu Yangjing was sitting in a private seat on the second floor of a teahouse in the distance, sipping tea.

"Master, everything is ready."

Next to him, a man in black knelt on the ground respectfully.

"Well, remember to keep them alive."

"My subordinate understands."

The man in black bowed and retreated, disappearing from the room in the blink of an eye.

The teacup in front of Chu Yangjing was emitting a faint fragrance, and the mist obscured his eyes, so he could only see the smile slowly rising at the corners of his mouth.

When night fell, the people of Jiuxiao Sect were already surrounded by mountains and forests, and the fierce roars of spirit beasts could be heard faintly.

Everyone stopped to rest for a while. Seeing that they might not be able to get out of the forest tonight, Jiang Jingmo stood up and set up a protective formation around them.

"Junior sister, where did you learn these formations? They look more powerful than those of Changqing Sect." Nan Xun looked at Jiang Jingmo setting up the formation and couldn't help but ask curiously.

"I just learned some in my spare time, and I also saw some in the dream before, so I just wrote it down by copying." Jiang Jingmo smiled and explained.

Speaking of her learning the formation, she had to thank Master Yuqian. At that time, Master Yuqian had no intention of disciplining her and often left her in the library. It was at that time that she memorized many formation diagrams in the library.

Speaking of Jiang Jingmo's dream, Nan Xun wanted to ask a few more questions, but suddenly there was a rustling sound coming from the woods next to them, which made several people alert immediately.

"who?"

Gu Yanzhou stood up, opened his Taoyao fan suddenly, and his expression became serious.

As soon as he finished speaking, the sound in the bushes suddenly disappeared, and then a stone flew out quickly and hit the spirit stone in the middle of the formation. The spirit stone shattered, making the formation, which had not been set up in the first place, completely ineffective.

Jiang Jingmo's blood and energy surged for a moment due to the backlash, but fortunately the formation was not completely completed, the backlash was relatively mild, and she quickly stabilized her injuries.

She took out Jiang Chujian with a serious look on her face. She didn't know why she had a bad feeling in her heart.

The premonition soon came true. Several men in black emerged from the bushes. One of them threw something emitting golden light at Gu Yanzhou.

Gu Yanzhou's expression changed, and just as he was about to hide to the side with the others, a group of men in black surrounded them.

Something shining with golden light covered them, and it turned out to be a mid-grade defensive magic treasure. Several people were trapped in the middle by the black-clothed people, and they couldn't escape at all. They could only watch as the magic treasure enveloped them all.

Jiang Jingmo was the only person who was not covered by the magic treasure. Just as planned, in front of her was the most capable person among the group of men in black.

Jiang Jingmo felt it and felt that he should be at the sixth level of Xuanling Realm.

She took a look at Gu Yanzhou and the others who were trapped in the spiritual treasure and the men in black, and she already had a general idea in her mind.

A mid-grade spiritual treasure can be broken from the middle. With the strength of Gu Yanzhou and his companions, they can probably escape from it within an incense stick of time. The purpose of those men in black is nothing more than to delay their escape. As for why...

Jiang Jingmo looked at the man who suddenly attacked him, and his purpose was clear to him.

This man used two swords, and his attacks were brutal and strange. He threw the two scimitars towards Jiang Jingmo. In mid-air, the blades would disappear, and you would never know where they would appear in the next second.

There were several times when Jiang Jingmo barely dodged a blade, and another one quietly appeared beside her. If she had not reacted in time, the sharp blade would have cut off her nose.

After dodging several times, Jiang Jingmo's strength was gradually exhausted, and the wounds on her body became more and more. The sweat on them was burning painful, but she did not dare to relax at all, and she needed to be on guard at all times against the direction where the two knives appeared.

The man in black showed no intention of stopping, and it seemed that he didn't want to kill her. He probably wanted to capture her alive.

Jiang Jingmo had thought about taking the opportunity to set up a formation, but every time she made a move, the man in black would react immediately and kick the stones in the relevant direction to scatter, making it impossible for her to complete the formation.

The gap in spiritual realm cannot be made up easily. Jiang Jingmo could not set up a formation and could only rely on the ice shield he condensed from time to time to resist attacks. But after a long time, the man in black obviously lost his patience and directly stabbed Jiang Jingmo in the face with his two knives.

Jiang Jingmo raised her sword to block, but the huge oppressive feeling of the Xuanling Realm made her unable to help but step back a few steps. Then her left leg suddenly hurt, and another scimitar was stuck in her thigh, and blood kept flowing out.

The severe pain made her left leg almost weak, but the man in black did not give up. Just when Jiang Jingmo was concentrating on dealing with his double swords with his sword, he kicked Jiang Jingmo's injured thigh hard.

Jiang Jingmo fell to the ground in pain. The man in black slowly approached her, the knife in his hand flashing with a faint light.
