Leng Shiqi, who was hiding deep underground, was about to suppress the fire in his body when the ground suddenly shook. Then he heard the sound of hundreds of ghosts crying and flames exploding above him!
What was even more terrifying was that two powerful spirit force fluctuations suddenly appeared, causing him to spit out another mouthful of blood!
"There's a fight above?
We can't stay here! "
Leng Shiqi was shocked again and quickly ran away. Otherwise, he would only get more injured.
It wasn't until he was several miles away that he could no longer feel the two spirit force fluctuations. Only then did he feel relieved.
At the same time, he secretly cursed his bad luck. He and Fan Zheng Chu didn't do anything, yet they were inexplicably attacked.
Fan Zheng Chu died on the spot, and he was seriously injured!
Leng Shiqi checked his injuries. He was already injured in the battle with Qu Xinran, and now his body's condition was even worse.
His entire back was charred black, and there were even a few hideous bloody wounds. It looked a bit too horrible to look at.
But the more serious injuries were his internal injuries!
Tang Haoqing's flame was a little strange. It was not a simple flame, but more like it was derived from some kind of fist technique. This was because Leng Shiqi could clearly feel that the residual flame in his body still contained bursts of fist force.
The flames and fist energy had destroyed most of the meridians in his back. If it wasn't for the fact that he cultivated a body refining technique, his body would be much stronger than ordinary people. He would have died on the spot.
Then Leng Shiqi used all his spirit force to suppress the flames and fist energy. After an entire day, he finally suppressed them!
This was only suppression, he hadn't completely forced them out of his body. Fortunately, it was only a matter of time.
At this point, Leng Shiqi let out a breath and wiped the dense sweat on his face. Then his eyes flashed with hatred and a desire for strength.
He hated Tang Haoqing, but he also yearned for that kind of strength.
Tang Haoqing only threw a punch from afar. Just a little bit of the aftershock and residual flames touched Leng Shiqi, and he was seriously injured!
How powerful was that?
However, Leng Shiqi knew his limits. What he needed to do now was not to hate or desire, but to heal his wounds!
He returned to the ground and looked up to identify the terrain. "I remember there's a small town nearby. Let's go there and rest for a few days."
Hsinzhu Town was an ordinary town near Shang Yang City.
After Leng Shiqi arrived at Hsinzhu Town, he found an inn and shut himself in, slowly recovering from his injuries.
What he didn't know was that there were more and more outsiders coming to Hsinzhu Town these past few days!
On the tenth day, he had almost used up all of his healing pills, and his injuries had finally improved by about seventy to eighty percent.
However, he was in a very bad mood!
For the past ten days, he had only cared about recuperating from his injuries, so his cultivation had not improved at all.
The path of cultivation was like rowing a boat against the current. If one did not advance, one would fall behind. These ten days could be considered as a waste of time.
He walked out of the room with a sullen face and prepared to pay the bill. Coincidentally, two people came to check out behind him, and they were whispering to each other.
Leng Shiqi sensed that these two people were only in the Pure Spirit Realm, and they looked to be in their thirties. They were obviously Spirit Cultivators with poor aptitudes.
At first, he did not pay much attention to them, but by chance, he seemed to have heard the words' City Lord's Mansion '. His heart skipped a beat, and he channeled his spirit energy to his ears, quietly listening to their conversation.
"Brother Li, is the news reliable?"
"Brother Wang, don't worry. I went out last night to inquire, and this news was released by Shang Yang City's City Lord's Mansion. It can't be fake."
"But I remember that Marquis Boyuan died a few hundred years ago under the siege of the Imperial Court. Where did the tomb come from?"
"Heh, those high and mighty people are all very powerful. How can we speculate about them?
Since the City Lord's Mansion has released the news of finding Marquis Boyuan's tomb, why don't we try our luck? Who knows, maybe we'll find it. When the time comes, we'll definitely be rewarded. "
"Fine, since I have nothing to do, I'll accompany Brother Li on this trip."
"Hahaha, good brother!"
At this time, Leng Shiqi also finished paying the bill. It was the two people's turn, and they stopped talking.
Leng Shiqi thoughtfully walked out of the inn. As soon as he left the inn, he immediately noticed that there were many more people in the town than when he first came, and many of them seemed to be in a hurry.
"Could it be that they're all here for Marquis Boyuan's tomb?"
However, he was very unfamiliar with the words' Marquis Boyuan ', but he had seen the word' tomb 'on a broken map not long ago!
After that, Leng Shiqi bought a few books in town that recorded the history of Shang Yang City.
The Marquis Boyuan was a person who lived more than three hundred years ago. At that time, Shang Yang City was not as desolate as it was now.
Although it was not very big, it was very famous, and the merchants that came and went were very dense.
The most important reason was that Shang Yang City had a Marquis Boyuan!
It was said that Marquis Boyuan was born in an ordinary family in Shang Yang City. Although he became a spirit cultivator, his cultivation talent was very ordinary. He was able to earn a position in the city guards, enough to support his family.
Later, when the Thunderblaze Dynasty and the newly proclaimed Northern Wei Dynasty went to war, Marquis Boyuan resolutely joined the army.
But he did not expect that from then on, he would start a glorious life!
Marquis Boyuan was not afraid of death on the battlefield, and he repeatedly performed miraculous deeds. His position was quickly promoted, and he was valued by the higher-ups. He was passed down a high-grade cultivation technique, and his cultivation began to advance by leaps and bounds.
Finally, when the war ended, he used his illustrious achievements to rise from a common soldier to the title of Marquis Boyuan. It could be said that his future was limitless.
However, what no one expected was that he actually gave up his military position and returned to Shang Yang City with only the title of Marquis. It could be said that he gave up his great future!
Many people found it hard to understand.
Later on, something even more incomprehensible happened!
About twenty years later, someone secretly reported that Marquis Boyuan was secretly preparing a large amount of money and weapons. It seemed that he was up to no good.
The dynasty immediately sent people to investigate, and it turned out that it was true!
The unparalleled Marquis Boyuan was actually up to no good, and the evidence was conclusive!
Suddenly, the world was in an uproar!
Not long after, the dynasty sent people to encircle Marquis Boyuan's residence, and Marquis Boyuan died in battle.
From then on, Shang Yang City was implicated and slowly declined.
After reading this, Leng Shiqi felt that something was wrong, but he could not say what it was. After all, it was someone from more than three hundred years ago. Who could know the truth?
But at this time, he was a little hesitant. He now had two choices.
One was to return to the Shadowwind Ridge to submit the mission and then cultivate for a while. In the past few days, he found that the bottleneck of the sixth layer of the Spirit Transformation Realm had loosened. It would not be long before he could break through.
The other choice was to go and see the so-called tomb of Marquis Boyuan. Maybe he could fish in troubled waters and fish for some benefits.
After pondering for a while, Leng Shiqi made a decision!
