Volume 5: Return to Donghua Chapter 17: Top Floor of Sword Pavilion
After watching the enemies of the Xuan family retreat, Qi Ji and Xiang Wenkui returned to Kurumu Town together.
Xiang Wenkui looked at Qi Ji who was not nervous at all and couldn't help but sigh: "It seems that I am really old."
Qi Ji looked back at him and asked in confusion, "Why did Elder Xiang say that?"
Xiang Wenkui said, "I have been stationed at the border to resist foreign demons for many years in recent years, but I never thought that the forces in the interior would change so much. Not only did Mr. Kuang, a previously unknown master, emerge, but even the three people from the Xuan family we saw just now, two of them I knew before."
He went on to say, "That woman, named 'Snake', was a well-known core leader of Mirage before, but I learned that she was only in the early fourth stage. And that evil demon monk, named 'Dinghai', is also from Mirage, but at most he is only a mid-fourth stage expert ."
Qi Ji interrupted and said, "But now, they are all top-level masters among the fourth level."
Xiang Wenkui nodded, his face solemn: "I see that they are full of demonic energy. I am afraid that the Mirage and Xuan family have really found a new method of human body transformation that combines the flesh and blood of foreign demons, which can make ordinary masters become rare top masters in the continent..."
He sighed: "I'm afraid that the Donghua Continent will soon be in chaos."
Qi Ji remained silent. Indeed, when Qin Zijin came to participate in the martial arts competition two months ago, he told him that the Donghua Continent had managed to maintain an internal balance for hundreds of years and was able to seriously fight against the foreign demons.
Now, from what he has seen and heard, if the transformation technology mastered by the Xuan family and Mirage is successfully spread, all forces in the entire Donghua Continent may face the crisis of overthrow.
A transformation technology that can allow a person to advance from the early stage of the fourth stage to the top stage of the fourth stage in one fell swoop, even if it may cost a huge price, even if it means fusing flesh and blood with the ultimate enemy of mankind...
However, this world is filled with countless warriors with limited talents. Even if they try their best and practice several times harder than others, it is still difficult for them to advance further into the extraordinary realm.
Facing these people, the forbidden transformation technology of the Xuan family and Mirage is enough to allow people to reach the sky in one step. The temptation is really great!
By then, warriors who dream of breaking through their realm will become thugs of the Xuan Family and Mirage in an endless stream. Even if the seven major forces can eventually solve the problem, they will probably be seriously damaged.
What's even more terrifying is that judging from the fact that the Xuan family and Mirage dared to raid Jiange, they probably had the confidence to do so. And the fact that they dared to capture the enemy for transformation experiments showed that they had the ability to control the transformed enemies.
Thinking of this, Qi Ji immediately thought of a possibility that made him feel uneasy.
Mr. Yu, could it be that he has already...
He shook his head, forcing himself not to think about the possibility. However, his understanding of the Xuan family and Mirage's behavior styles after coming to the outside world again forced him to think about this possibility.
…
Several hours later, in the afternoon, ten huge airships hovered over the Deadwood Town.
Each airship is engraved with a very conspicuous Jiange logo - a simple sword-shaped pattern.
Qi Ji, who had been silently on duty in the watchtower, was the first to notice the arrival of these airships and finally breathed a sigh of relief.
That’s right, even though he had personally killed two top-level fourth-level warriors and seemed to be going smoothly, he was actually quite unsure.
After all, his opponents are the Xuan family and Mirage, who have fifth-level demigods. In addition, there is also terrifying transformation technology. In addition to these top-level fourth-level ones seen in the open, who knows how many powerful people are hidden behind the scenes and ready to go.
Qi Ji is just a newcomer in the outer domain. It is really difficult for him to shoulder the responsibility alone without the support of a big boss.
Now the organization has finally arrived.
He immediately jumped off the tower, went to the mayor's hall to meet up with Xiang Wenkui and the others, and walked out of Kumu Town together.
There was no port in Deadwood Town for airships to dock, so these airships simply landed quickly on the open space outside the town.
Soon, on the airship at the front, Yu Xujiang's old face appeared in Qi Ji's sight first, which immediately caused a commotion among the people from Jiange Sect behind Qi Ji and the others.
The Pavilion Master is here in person!
Following Yu Xujiang's footsteps, hundreds of people got off each large airship one after another.
The total number of Jiange fighters who came to rescue this time has exceeded one thousand!
And based on Qi Ji's judgment of the aura of these thousands of people, they are all extraordinary people!
Even among them, there are only a few first-level extraordinary people, and most of them are second-level extraordinary people or above.
A Pavilion Master who is a fifth-level demigod, two top-level fourth-level peerless masters, and five non-top-level fourth-level powerhouses if Xiang Wenkui is counted. Among the remaining thousands of people, 40% are third-level masters, 50% are second-level transcendents, and only 10% are first-level transcendents.
If Qi Ji guessed correctly, this large army basically represented the main combat power of Jiange, and it could be said that they had come out in full force.
Yu Xujiang quickly brought everyone to Qi Ji and others.
He looked at Xiang Wenkui and smiled, "Wenkui, you have suffered a lot these past two days."
Xiang Wenkui waved his hands quickly: "Master, please stop saying that. It really makes me ashamed!"
He went on to say: "You asked me to lead the team here to find Yu Chengen, but before I even set out, our base camp was attacked and Lao Xue was killed..."
As he spoke, Xiang Wenkui's eyes turned slightly red. After all, the few fourth-level warriors in Jiange had been partners for at least a hundred years. How could he not be sad when he saw their partners sacrificed?
"Old Xue is dead?" Yu Xujiang's eyes widened angrily, a strong murderous aura suddenly rose up, and then he suppressed it.
In the brief moment when the murderous aura was leaked, it was as if a dry thunderclap sounded in the air. Everyone in the audience felt their hearts skip a beat under Yu Xujiang's power, as if they were being stared at by the god of death.
He was silent for a while, and then he squeezed out a voice from between his teeth: "Jian Ge, we will always take revenge, and the Xuan family will be destroyed!"
He didn't mention Mirage because he knew that this was the Xuan family's lair, but not Mirage's lair.
Then, Yu Xujiang finally turned his head and looked at Qi Ji, who was still wearing the white mask. This mask was obviously the white mask that all Mirage staff members carried.
Yu Xujiang certainly didn't think Qi Ji was from Mirage. He narrowed his eyes, looked at Qi Ji, and asked Xiang Wenkui, "Who is this?"
Xiang Wenkui looked at Yu Xujiang strangely in return: "Master, isn't this 'Mr. Kuang' the one you invited to come and save us?"
Yu Xujiang was slightly stunned: "I didn't ask anyone to rescue you. When Bai Tianhe from Jiandu sent me a message for help, I immediately gathered everyone and came here in person."
"Ah?" Xiang Wenkui was stunned.
Everyone looked at Qi Ji who had remained silent.
In the crowd, only Bai Tianhe who followed, and Su Jingqiu who had already guessed something, smiled but said nothing, quietly watching someone preparing to show off.
Qi Ji smiled lightly and took off his mask.
"Qi Ji?" Even Yu Xujiang exclaimed in surprise.
