The prisoners nodded one after another. Although they were still somewhat uneasy, they felt a little relieved under Jiang Qiong's leadership.

They walked out of the cave carefully. The sunlight shone through the leaves onto the ground, giving people a warm feeling.

Jiang Qiong led the way in front, and everyone followed closely, afraid of being left behind.

Along the way, Jiang Qiong kept looking around, looking for a safe path.

"We should try to avoid open areas as birds like to hover in high places."

Jiang Qiong reminded, with caution in her tone.

"Then let's take this path. There are bushes on the side to provide shelter." Wang Tao, a prisoner, pointed to a hidden path with hope in his eyes.

"Good idea!" Jiang Qiong agreed, and immediately led everyone along the path.

There are dense bushes on both sides of the path, and occasionally a few birds fly up from the treetops, breaking the tranquility of the forest.

As they walked, the prisoners gradually relaxed their guard and began to chat about their stories.

Some talked about their experiences in prison, some shared the delicacies from their hometowns, and some even started singing songs. The songs echoed in the forest, as if adding a touch of joy to their escape.

However, Jiang Qiong remained vigilant.

Although the road ahead seems calm, danger may come at any time.

He prayed silently in his heart, hoping to find a safe way out.

"There's an open space ahead, let's be careful."

Jiang Qiong suddenly stopped and signaled everyone to be quiet.

He held his breath, listened carefully to the movements around him, and felt vaguely uneasy.

Sure enough, several low chirping sounds came from the air. Jiang Qiong's heart sank, knowing that they were the calls of birds.

He immediately turned around and whispered to everyone, "Quick, hide in the bushes!"

The prisoners reacted quickly, hiding in the bushes nearby, holding their breath and waiting nervously.

Jiang Qiong was looking around in front, trying to find the movements of birds.

At this time, several huge birds were circling in the air, and their black wings covered their heads like a shadow.

Jiang Qiong's heart tightened and she prayed secretly that they wouldn't discover them.

"Hurry up, wait until they pass before you go!" Jiang Qiong whispered, with urgency in her eyes.

The prisoners held their breath, their hearts filled with fear and anxiety.

Just then, a bird suddenly swooped down and headed straight towards them.

Jiang Qiong was shocked and reacted immediately.

"Quick, retreat!" he shouted loudly, leading everyone to retreat quickly.

Just as they retreated, the sharp claws of the birds had already scratched past them, bringing up a gust of wind.

Jiang Qiong's heart tightened, knowing that time waits for no one and she must find a safe place as soon as possible.

"Quick, follow me!"

Jiang Qiong led everyone towards another path, praying secretly in his heart that they would not be caught up.

Birds were circling in the air, as if looking for their targets, and Jiang Qiong's heart was filled with a sense of urgency.

Just as Jiang Qiong led everyone to retreat rapidly, the birds in the sky seemed to sense their fear and swooped down even more frantically.

Their cries are like the sounds of war drums, deafening and chilling.

Several huge birds spread their huge wings and hung over the fugitives' heads like a shadow, making people feel despair.

"Keep calm and don't panic!"

Jiang Qiong shouted loudly, even though he felt a sense of fear himself.

At this moment, several birds suddenly swooped down, their sharp claws heading straight for them.

There was a tearing sound in the air, as if even time had stopped at this moment.

"Quick, disperse!" Jiang Qiong immediately ordered, trying to disperse everyone to avoid being caught in one fell swoop.

The prisoners fled in panic in fear, but Jiang Qiong knew that this would only put them in greater danger.

At this critical moment, Jiang Qiong's heart was shocked and spiritual energy surged from bottom to top.

He closed his eyes, chanted a spell in his mind, and felt the flow of spiritual energy in his body.

As spiritual energy gathered, a shining spiritual sword gradually appeared in his hand. The sword body was as clear as crystal, emitting a faint but firm light.

"Go to hell!"

Jiang Qiong shouted angrily, and the magic sword in his hand came out. The sword light cut through the air and pointed to several swooping birds.

The spirit sword seemed to have life in his hand, dancing flexibly, as if responding to his call.

"Go!" Jiang Qiong gave an order, and the magic sword flew towards the first bird like an arrow.

The sword flashed, cutting through the sky, and with unparalleled power, it struck the bird's chest.

One of the birds let out a shrill cry, and its sharp claws drew an arc in the air before it fell to the ground. Blood spilled on the ground, dyeing the surrounding grass red.

"Come again!" Jiang Qiong did not hesitate. The magic sword flew out again. The sword light was like a rainbow, pointing directly at another bird.

The bird turned its head in fear and tried to escape, but it was too late.

The spirit sword drew a graceful arc in the air and pierced its flank accurately. With a scream, the bird fell to the ground and died miserably.

Seeing this, the other birds panicked and began circling in the air, as if looking for a chance to escape.

However, there was murderous intent flashing in Jiang Qiong's eyes, and he did not intend to let go of these threats.

He took a deep breath, circulated his spiritual energy, and the spiritual sword in his hand turned into a beam of light again and rushed forward.

"You must seek death!"

"Fuck them all!"

Jiang Qiong roared, and the magic sword drew a dazzling light in the air, hitting the remaining birds directly.

The sword flashed like lightning, killing all the birds in an instant. Blood splattered everywhere and screams echoed throughout the forest.

As the last bird fell, the suffocating chirping sound no longer filled the air and the surroundings returned to silence.

The spirit sword in Jiang Qiong's hand slowly calmed down and emitted a faint light, as if it was proud of the battle just now.

"Are we...safe?"

Wang Tao's voice trembled as he slowly walked out of the bushes, his face full of astonishment and awe.

The other prisoners also walked out one after another, their eyes filled with shock and gratitude.

"It's safe for now, but we can't stop."

Jiang Qiong put away his magic sword, his tone still serious, and said slowly: "Although these birds have been eliminated, we are still in danger and must find a safe hiding place as soon as possible." Everyone nodded, and their hearts were filled with endless admiration for Jiang Qiong.

They understood that it was Jiang Qiong's strength that allowed them to escape.

"Let's go and keep moving forward." Jiang Qiong took the lead and walked out of the open space, and everyone followed closely behind. Although they were still scared, they were more hopeful about the future.

Led by Jiang Qiong, they continued their escape. The sunlight shone on them through the leaves, as if cheering for their courage and persistence.

Along the way, Jiang Qiong kept looking back to make sure there was no danger following.

He knew in his heart that the real test was yet to come.

They need to find a safe place to completely escape from pursuit and embrace a new life.

On the other side, in the Vulture Gang's training ground, the sun shone through the high clouds, casting a golden glow on the wide stone floor.

It is surrounded by towering peaks and lush green trees swaying in the breeze.

In the center of the martial arts arena, dozens of Vulture Gang monks gathered together and the atmosphere was tense.

The leader of the Vulture Gang stood on a high platform. He was tall and strong, with a resolute face, and exuded an aura of majesty.

His voice was as loud as thunder, echoing in every corner of the martial arts arena: "Brothers, today we will join forces with the monks of the Northern Chamber of Commerce to find the mysterious black-robed monks!"

"Their appearance has disturbed the peace of our Vulture Gang and harmed innocent people. We must not tolerate them!"

In the crowd, the monks nodded one after another, while the monks from Fang Chamber of Commerce stood aside. Their strength was similar to that of the Vulture Gang, but facing the unknown black-robed monk, they inevitably felt a little nervous.

The person in charge of the Chamber of Commerce was a middle-aged man with white hair and deep eyes. He nodded slightly to show his agreement.

"set off!"

Following the leader's order, the monks quickly formed a team and headed out of the city.

The atmosphere in the martial arts arena was instantly ignited, and everyone rushed towards the city gate like a torrent.

At the city gate, the guards saw this scene and looked sideways, secretly surprised.

Walking out of the city gate, the sunlight shone on the Vulture Gang monks, as if they were covered with a layer of golden armor.

The road ahead was winding, with lush trees on both sides. Birds were singing happily on the branches, as if seeing the team off.

The monks' footsteps echoed on the quiet country road with a sense of urgency.

Along the way, the monks of the Vulture Gang kept communicating and discussing the various rumors about the black-robed monks.

Some say that they are extremely skilled and can defeat the enemy with one move; others say that they are good at hiding, their whereabouts are secretive and elusive.

The monks from the Northern Chamber of Commerce listened silently and speculated in their hearts.

"Have you heard of the legend of the black-robed monk?" A young monk from the Vulture Gang suddenly spoke, with a hint of excitement in his voice.

"What legend?" asked the monk next to him curiously.

"I heard that they are a mysterious organization that specializes in hunting monks and even absorbing their spiritual power to enhance their own strength!"

The young monk's eyes flickered as he spoke slowly, "It is said that their leader is extremely powerful, and several sects have been severely damaged!"

"This is such a dangerous opponent!" another monk frowned, an uneasy look on his face.

The team marched along the country road and gradually approached a small village.

The houses in the village are low, with green tiles and white walls. They are surrounded by green trees and the air is filled with the fragrance of earth.

When the villagers saw the group of monks, they stopped what they were doing and watched them come over, with awe and curiosity revealed in their expressions.

"We have to be careful, this may be their hiding place." The president of the Northern Chamber of Commerce warned in a low voice, looking around vigilantly.

"Yes, everyone should remain vigilant and do not take any abnormal situation lightly."

The leader of the Vulture Gang also nodded seriously.

As the team went deeper, the tranquility of the village seemed to be broken and a hint of tension filled the air.

The monks all knew that this action not only concerned their reputation, but also their own safety.

After a while, they reached the edge of the village. Before them lay an empty field, with hills vaguely visible in the distance.

The gang leader stopped and turned to everyone and said, "Everyone, divide into groups and search the surroundings carefully. Make sure you find the trace of the black-robed monk!"

The monks moved quickly, splitting into several groups and spreading out across the fields.

The sunlight shone through the clouds, shining on their resolute faces, and every step seemed particularly heavy.

At this moment, a low chanting sound was faintly heard from the distant hills, like the whisper of a ghost, which was creepy.

The monks looked at each other, their hearts tensed, as if they had a premonition that something bad was about to happen.

As the monks dispersed to search, the tranquility of the village was broken by a sudden noise.

In the dark corner in the distance, more than a dozen black shadows appeared quietly. The black-robed monks rushed out of the village like ghosts and quickly charged towards the monks of the Vulture Gang and the Northern Chamber of Commerce.

"Be alert!" a monk from the Vulture Gang exclaimed and hurriedly drew his sword. The sword light flashed, reflecting the fear and anger on his face.

Then, the whole village seemed to be shrouded in a shadow, and men in black came like a tide. Each of them had a sturdy figure and a blurred face, with only pairs of cold eyes flashing in the sunlight.

"They're coming!" The president of the Northern Chamber of Commerce's face suddenly changed, and he quickly commanded: "Everyone, prepare to meet the enemy!"

The black-robed monks rushed forward like ferocious beasts, with a fierce momentum, as if they had been fully prepared.

Their movements were quick and coordinated, as if they had undergone rigorous training.

Following a low command, the black-robed monks launched their attacks one after another. Sword lights and spells intertwined, instantly igniting the sparks of battle.

"Stop them!" the leader of the Vulture Gang yelled and took the lead to rush forward.

His figure was like a mountain, standing firmly at the forefront of the battle, with his fists clenched. His powerful aura instantly shocked the surrounding black-robed monks.

"Go to hell!" A black-robed monk smiled coldly, and the long sword in his hand flashed a cold light and went straight to the gang leader.

The leader of the Vulture Gang remained calm, quickly dodged to the side, and then threw a backhand punch, hitting the opponent in the face.

The black-robed monk had no time to react and was knocked back in an instant, blood spurting out.

"Brothers, don't hold back!" Another monk from the Vulture Gang shouted loudly, the magic weapon in his hand flashing with dazzling light, and then he launched a powerful attack on the black-robed monk in front of him.

The magic weapon turned into a ray of light and slammed into a black-robed monk, causing him to lose his ability to fight instantly.

However, the black monks did not retreat. With their huge numbers, they quickly formed a siege in the battle.

Several black-robed monks cast powerful spells at the same time. The sky and the earth suddenly became dark, and the wind howled as if it was going to swallow up the entire village.

"Quick, separate!" Seeing this, the manager of the Northern Chamber of Commerce hurriedly gave orders.

If we are surrounded, the consequences will be disastrous.

The monks quickly adjusted their formation and tried to break the encirclement of the black-robed monks.

At this moment, a low chanting sound came faintly from the hills in the distance. The sound echoed in the air like a spell, making people shudder. (End of this chapter)
