I will survive with proficiency

Bixian Pavilion.

Chen Mansion.

Chen Ping looked back at the cave that he had tidied up, and silently said 'goodbye' in his heart.

Goodbye, Bixian Pavilion.

Goodbye, Tianyin Fairy City.

This city of immortality has lived for more than two hundred years.

If it weren't for the imprisonment and repair catastrophe, even if he had to leave temporarily, he would choose to return to Tianyin Immortal City to practice soon.

It is so comfortable to practice here.

In his more than two hundred years of practice, except for the troublesome incident of Dugu Jiujiu, he has basically never encountered any risks at other times, let alone catastrophe.

This made Chen Ping, who was used to living a life of fear, very pleased.

pity.

It was still time to leave.

Chen Ping quietly left the City Lord's Mansion before dawn and went to the General Affairs Pavilion.

Fairy Biyuan has not come back yet, so there is no need to say goodbye.

Shiba was in Bixian Pavilion, but Chen Ping didn't say hello to her, but left her a letter.

He arrived at the General Affairs Pavilion quietly and successfully entered the teleportation array after showing his token.

The General Affairs Pavilion only recognizes tokens and does not ask about identity or whereabouts, and the information is highly confidential.

Soon he appeared at the second teleportation point.

The teleportation routes were different from those two hundred years ago. On the way back, there were still some continents that had not been unblocked, or some continents had been unblocked but the teleportation points were not activated.

So I have to change some routes.

However, Chen Ping has made detailed plans in the past few years. He has already known every transmission point and even planned an alternative route to be on the safe side.

Teleport all the way.

During this period, there were occasional journeys that required traveling alone.

Along the way, it can be seen that compared with before the mainland was closed, the cities and sects of cultivating immortals on many continents are more concentrated, and many small sects and cities of cultivating immortals no longer exist.

The number of monks you can encounter on the road has also dropped significantly.

Occasionally, you can even encounter some sects fighting each other.

The catastrophe of mainland closure has ended, but the turmoil has not ended abruptly.

The pattern of fighting that developed during the lockdown continues.

Whenever Chen Ping encounters such trouble, he will take a detour, even if the opponent is only a foundation-building level sect battle.

More than twenty days later, Chen Ping appeared in Zhongzhou in the Misty Continent.

Further west, there is no teleportation array, so you can only fly to get there.

but.

We have arrived in Central Continent, is the Western Wilderness still far away?

‘Piaomiao Continent, I, Chen Ping, am back. ’

‘Xihuang, I’m back. ’

Chen Ping took a deep breath.

I felt the long-lost intimacy.

This continent, especially the Western Wilderness, has hosted his most fragile cultivation career of more than a hundred years.

It holds too many memories for him.

‘When I come back this time, I will take one look at Master and then hide deep in the wild forest for decades. ’

Chen Ping left the sect where the teleportation point was and headed west.

In order to ensure that he would not get into trouble, Chen Ping did not hide his cultivation.

There are not many Nascent Souls here, and all of them are practical.

Nascent Soul cultivation can save a lot of trouble.

As a third-level Nascent Soul monk, he found that just by flying over, the sects under his feet would become extremely nervous, either ringing the sect alarm bell or quickly activating the sect's mountain-protecting formation.

In some sects with Nascent Soul, when they sense him, the Nascent Soul Ancestor will come out of the mountain in advance to greet him from a distance (wary) and say some polite words.

On this day, while rushing on the road, I suddenly felt the throbbing of the messenger treasure dish.

After taking it out, it was discovered that it was Fairy Biyuan who had been missing for decades.

[In Bixian Pavilion? ]

Chen Ping thought for a while and replied:

[I have temporarily returned to Piaomiao Continent. ]

[Have you returned to Bixian Pavilion? ]

On the other side, Bixian Pavilion looked at the information on the mirror and said nothing.

The woman behind Fairy Biyuan poked her head out, looked at the message on the messenger disc, and said:

"Tsk, tsk, tsk, you worked hard and spent decades to break the restrictions of Shengxian Valley. You only wanted to go back to protect him, but he didn't appreciate it at all. He went back, tsk, tsk, tsk."

Fairy Biyuan didn't say anything, didn't pay attention to the woman, and flew out in a whoosh.

Chen Ping's side.

After the message was sent, I didn't receive a reply from Fairy Biyuan for a while, so I collected the message disc and continued on my way. Just after flying a while, I heard throbbing again. I opened it and saw only one word in reply:

[Um. ]

A few days later, Chen Ping appeared in Zhongdao.

The Western Wilderness is within easy reach.

But on this day, while passing through an endless dense forest at the junction of Xihuang and Zhongdao, Chen Ping suddenly felt that he was locked by a spiritual consciousness.

The master of divine consciousness had no intention of shying away from it.

Chen Ping was slightly shocked.

Nascent Soul?

Soon, someone appeared who confirmed Chen Ping’s idea.

When several people came closer, they took off the magic weapon hats that concealed their identities, revealing a head of white hair and silver beards.

…the white-bearded Taoist.

Chen Ping's eyelids twitched.

Didn’t it mean that monks only started to gather in ten to twenty years? It started nearly thirty years ago?

Or are they still just sending invitations at this moment?

"Chen Xiaoyou, I am Murong Bai Yao, these are my colleagues. They are on duty in Xizhou this time. They just took their breath and meditated. I never thought that I would meet Chen Xiaoyou here. We are destined to go to Tianyan Sect together?" The leader of the old man was kind. A smile.

Although they asked kindly to go with them, several people stood like horns, trapping Chen Ping in them, and had no intention of refusing Chen Ping.

Chen Ping narrowed his eyes.

It's really like brown sugar.

You can meet them wherever you go.

There were four people in total, which was the minimum standard number of people for a white-bearded Taoist to travel.

It is said that white-bearded Taoists usually travel with two ninth-level Nascent Souls to ensure their combat power, and they will also have some colleagues with unique skills.

For example, there are monks who have unique talents in chasing, or monks who have unique talents in sensing other people's physiques, or monks who have unique talents in detoxification, breaking formations, trapping enemies, etc.

These monks usually do not win by cultivation, and sometimes they even rely on golden elixir cultivation.

The four people in front of them, two of them at the ninth level of Nascent Soul, should be the guarantors of combat power.

The other two are one at the seventh level of Nascent Soul and one at the sixth level of Nascent Soul.

They are probably all craftsmen.

"A few fellow Taoists are going to Tianyan Sect? Is it because of the imprisonment and support?" Chen Ping said with a smile.

Just now, Murong Bai Yao mentioned going to Tianyan Sect, which was actually equivalent to a bright card.

Just go for Chen Ping.

There are only two Nascent Souls in Tianyan Sect, one of them is getting old, and Xiyue is already a prisoner and supporter.

Murong Bai Yao laughed:

"Haha, little friend Chen speaks bluntly and acts straightforwardly, which is in line with my temperament. It is indeed for this matter."

"Chen Xiaoyou should have received the invitation back then, right? Nowadays, the human world is in turmoil, mostly related to the demon world. I and these old immortals are just using their remaining energy to gather the aspiring people and consolidate the imprisonment."

"I hope that this time we can completely strengthen the boundary between the human world and the demon world, in exchange for thousands or thousands of years of stability."

"Young Chen should have come back just for this purpose, right?"

Chen Ping thought to himself, could you say anything more grand?

Smiled:

"certainly."

"Contributing to the glory of the human world is the honor of every monk in the human world. As the old saying goes - I am a brick, I can move it wherever it is needed. Isn't that what I mean? I came back this time to discuss this with the master. thing."

Murong Bai Yao stroked his beard and laughed:

"Young Chen is truly extraordinary for being able to have such an enlightenment. He deserves to be the apprentice of his colleague Xiyue."

"Going to Tianyan Sect together? Let's chat on the way?"

"Okay, everyone, please." Chen Ping raised his eyebrows.

Several people walked side by side.

"By the way, it should be nearly thirty years before the confinement is restored. Why do these fellow Taoists appear in Xihuang at this time?" Chen Ping asked nonchalantly.

"To tell you the truth, little friend Chen, I am waiting for these old immortals to be outnumbered, so we have to start running for the safety of the human world in advance. When it comes to the moment when the confinement needs to be strengthened, if the monks are not all present, wouldn't it delay the important matter?" Murong Bai Yao smiled. road.

"It means that after discussing with Master at this moment, I have to follow you to the confinement point?"

Chen Ping is a potential prisoner, and it is reasonable to ask for this information.

"It's best this way." Murong Bai Yao said vaguely.

Chen Ping nodded in understanding.

Although I don’t know why the years have been raised from 10-20 years to nearly 30 years, judging from the current style of these white-bearded Taoists, there is indeed the intention to raise them in the confinement point in advance.

Chen Ping slightly released his consciousness.

With his left hand, he kneaded the secret, and while a few people were busy on their way and didn't pay attention, a non-threatening flame burned instantly.

In an instant, Chen Ping disappeared from the spot.

Five thousand miles away, several foundation-building and Qi-refining stage beast hunters were sitting around a bonfire to warm themselves up. They felt their breath sway, as if something had appeared in the fire, but disappeared without a trace in an instant. No shadow.

Chen Ping escaped from fire four times in a row and appeared 20,000 miles away.

Then he galloped away quickly to the south.

To the south is the land of Heluo, which is the most chaotic and convenient for concealing one's aura, making it suitable for hiding for a short period of time.

Now that Murong Bai Yao and others have appeared here, it is meaningless to go to Xi Yue at this moment. Apart from putting Xi Yue into a dilemma, there is no other value.

You have to escape on your own.

behind.

Murong Bai Yao and the others couldn't help but become speechless when they saw Chen Ping fleeing like fire.

"Is this fire escape? Or some other magical power? Can fire escape be so fast?" The seventh-level Nascent Soul monk was surprised. He compared himself inwardly and felt ashamed.

"It is indeed fire escape." A monk nodded.

"It's really good to be able to escape under the eyes of a few of us, leaving us almost no time to react." Another ninth-level Nascent Soul monk praised.

Murong Bai Yao laughed:

"Everyone, isn't this exactly the result we hope to see?"

"Isn't this just a reason for us to take him away in advance? With his move, if we ask to take him away in advance, Xiyue can't say anything, right?"

He took out a jade tablet and injected his spiritual consciousness into it.

A halo of light rose into the sky from the jade tablet, forming a curtain of light that appeared in front of everyone.

That was the figure and direction of Chen Ping's escape.

"Everyone, let's go."

Four rays of light and shadow shot through the air in the direction of Chen Ping's escape.

Chen Ping fled south quickly. After running a certain distance, he stopped running.

Instead, he quickly escaped.

Integrated with a towering tree.

Completely suppress your breath.

With an advantage of 20,000 miles, there is a high probability that the two True Lords at the seventh and sixth levels of Nascent Soul behind him will not be able to catch up with him, but the two ninth-level Nascent Souls are another matter.

There is a chance of catching up.

The gap between the early stage of Nascent Soul and the ninth level of Nascent Soul is too far.

Even if his speed has enough advantages, it is not enough in front of the ninth level of Nascent Soul.

So you can't run, you have to hide.

When my Wood Escape Technique is at full level, after it is fused with a big tree, it is just a piece of rotten wood, which even the ninth level of Nascent Soul may not be able to detect.

What surprised Chen Ping was that after a while, the four white-bearded Taoists quickly appeared within the range of his spiritual perception.

And it was speeding towards him.

As the distance between the four of them grew closer, Chen Ping felt more and more something was wrong.

The direction of travel of these four people was too precise.

It was coming in a straight line towards his location, and the four of them didn't even separate their directions to look for it.

There is only one possibility——

——'Four people know my precise location. ’

Even if I have become a pile of deadwood.

Chen Ping's mouth twitched.

incredible.

He pondered for a moment, and immediately followed the towering tree to escape downwards, entering the root system. Then he changed to earth escape, turned a ninety-degree turn, and galloped eastward under the ground.

Then, as expected, the direction of travel of the four people accurately targeted him again.

Something fishy!

Chen Ping pondered for a moment before getting up from the ground.

A ball of fire appeared again.

But at this moment, an ice spell suddenly came towards Chen Ping. Chen Ping was shocked and waved one hand to create a circle of defensive aura ripples. At the same time, lotuses grew under his feet and he quickly retreated backwards.

But the vines behind him suddenly gave birth to countless ice picks.

The ice cone was not stationary, but was rapidly growing towards his location.

Not only the big trees and vines behind it, but also countless ice cones growing out of thin air in the sky.

Come from all directions.

Chen Ping's way forward and retreat was instantly blocked.

Chen Ping was facing a formidable enemy and did not dare to hide his clumsiness at all. The magic weapon of his life appeared in front of him instantly, a sword and shield whipped out in an instant, and the ice cone fell into pieces.

When he was preparing to attack again, he caught a glimpse of a floating figure in the distance.

My heart suddenly felt like it was struck by lightning:

"Master?"

Just now, all the attention was on Murong Bai Yao and the others, and they didn't notice Xi Yue actually appearing here.

Surprise was followed by anger.

I couldn't help but take a step forward, gritted my teeth and said:

"You want me to die too?"

Chen Ping could feel his heart trembling when he said this.

The Master he longed for, the Master who had come all the way back to look for him, had blocked his escape at the critical moment.

In the distance, Xiyue stood with her hands behind her hands, standing on a branch, looking at Chen Ping coldly, with no expression on her cold face:

"Born for imprisonment, died for imprisonment. When you became my disciple, didn't you think that such a day would come to you?"

The tone was calm.

Chen Ping's heart was filled with ups and downs:

"So, you accepted me as your disciple from the very beginning just for this day?"

"Is it done with a purpose?"

"Exactly." Xiyue only replied with two words.

The voice was cold, with a chill in it.

"I was asked to go to Tianyin Fairy City for this day? To make me a Nascent Soul? To qualify me to be a prisoner?" Chen Ping questioned angrily, hoping to hear negative words.

However.

"That's right." Xiyue Gujing Bubo said.

The breeze slightly blew up her luxurious robe and wrinkled the forest, which was in sharp contrast to her unruffled face.

"Hahaha."

"good."

Murong Bai Yao came with three colleagues at a gallop. When he saw Xi Yue stopping Chen Ping in advance, he laughed and said in approval:

"Xiyue, you are very good. You deserve to be the most outstanding confinement provider."

Murong Bai Yao looked at Chen Ping, whose face was ashen, and frowned:

"Little friend Chen's consciousness is much worse. Look, little friend Chen, your master is a confinement supporter, and his master's master was also a confinement supporter. It's the same lineage. Chen Xiaoyou's behavior is so chilling to your master's heart. .”

Chen Pingping was expressionless.

He was thinking about the next countermeasures in his mind.

Murong Bai Yao and the others aimed to kidnap him and make him his imprisoned supporter, so naturally they would not kill him.

Chen Ping knew this well.

This gives him a lot more room for maneuver.

At the same time, negotiate casually to buy time for your own thinking:

"Fellow Daoist Murong is quite honest. I wonder if the descendants of Daoist Murong are also of the same lineage?"

Murong Bai Yao was stunned for a moment, and the corner of his mouth curled up:

"That's natural."

"What? Is it possible that Mr. Chen is still unwilling? I once said that if you make sacrifices for the confinement, we will naturally give corresponding benefits to Mr. Chen. This is something that everyone is happy with, why not?"

Chen Ping sneered:

"I would rather."

"But since fellow Taoist Murong mentioned the benefits, I wonder if Mr. Chen can make an advance payment of one or two dollars in advance?"

Murong Bai Yao was slightly startled:

"Oh? What benefits does Chen Xiaoyou want?"

what do you want?

"How about killing someone for me?"

"I want Xiyue's life."

Chen Ping gritted his teeth and slashed at Xiyue with his sword.

Such a ruthless and unjust master.

What's the use of her?
