Chapter 290: This is the Fortune of my Mei clan!

An hour later, on the path of Mount Mei.
This was a small path between the cliffs of the mountain, which was forcefully opened up by someone with great magic power, allowing strange beasts to pass through.
It got its name from the clusters of rose-red wildflowers that could be seen from time to time by the roadside.
This kind of nameless flower was useless to cultivators, so no one paid attention to it even though it was all over the mountains.
The carriage stopped in front of a pool of blood.
In the car, Huo Zhaojing slowly opened his eyes. Based on his senses, he had finally arrived at the place where his four junior brothers and sisters had died in battle.
Unlike the three, the other party clearly didn’t have time to clean up the traces.
He got out of the carriage and walked around the area. He could roughly guess how his fellow disciple had died.
The knife marks in the four directions clearly showed that the junior brothers and sisters were very obedient.
They did not have any negligence at all. When they noticed that the Zhong gang sect disciples were about to attack, they immediately scattered and fled.
However, from the distance, their actions only slightly delayed the speed of the other party’s slaughter.
The cold and overbearing saber intent still remained in the saber marks.
There were no corpses around, but there were bloodstains.
Four slashes.
The disciples of the Zhong gang sect had only used four blades to deal with his four junior brothers and sisters!
This was a one-sided suppression. The four mid-spring disciples of the heaven’s born sect had no power to fight back in front of the opponent!
Huo Zhaojing’s face was gloomy and his mind was spinning.
The problem now was that he had passed through the yin Wind Gap and entered the Mei Mountain Trail. Why had he not encountered the Mei family’s convoy on the way?
Logically speaking, the speed at which the Mei family’s convoy was transporting the three-headed pterolycus and netherworld wood was limited. It was impossible for them to pass through the yin Wind Gap in such a short time.
Could it be that he had run back?
Thinking of this, Huo Zhaojing frowned. With this kind of strength, he was already qualified to fight with him, but he did not know why the Zhong gang sect disciple was avoiding him.
At this time, the disciples of the heavenly born sect from the third road arrived.
“Senior brother!” When they saw Huo Zhaojing, everyone quickly saluted.
Huo Zhaojing nodded slightly and immediately said, ” &Quot; the disciples of the Zhong gang sect should have run back. &Quot;
“If we chase after them now, we might not be able to stop them before they return to the exit of the Rose Mountain Trail.”
“When the time comes, they will definitely choose the other two paths.”
“I don’t like to play this kind of hide-and-seek game.”
Speaking of this, Huo Zhaojing sneered. &Quot; they are escorting the Mei family’s convoy. That is to say, no matter how they change routes along the way, no matter how they hide their traces, they will eventually head to the Mei family’s ancestral home! &Quot;
“Since that’s the case, we’ll be waiting at the Mei family’s ancestral residence!”
“Yes!” Many of the heavenly born sect’s disciples hurriedly responded.
Huo Zhaojing sat back in the carriage and glanced at the knife marks below, a trace of coldness flashing in his eyes.
The strength of the people from the heavy sea sect was not bad, but it was a pity that they should not be his enemies!
???
After taking many healing pills, Mei keqiu’s injuries had mostly recovered.
However, there was no joy on his face. Instead, he looked worriedly at the three-headed pterolycus and the netherworld wood in the convoy.
After struggling internally for a while, Mei keqiu thought of the elder ancestor’s instructions before she left. She gritted her teeth and quickened her pace, walking to PEI Ling’s side.
Seeing Mei keqiu approaching, PEI Ling immediately asked, ” “What is it?”
Branch leader PEI. &Quot; Mei keqiu composed herself and revealed a pained expression. However, she still whispered, ” the patriarch ... Actually instructed us to do so if the journey is too dangerous. The netherworld wood ... You can give it up!”
As he spoke, he hurriedly added, ” as long as we can transport the three-headed pterolycus back to the clan in one piece, this mission will still be considered complete! &Quot;
Hearing this, PEI Ling was slightly stunned.
The Mei clan currently had no successor. Once the foundation establishment old patriarch’s lifespan was over, there wouldn’t be a Second Foundation establishment cultivator in the entire clan!
Under such circumstances, the decline of the clan was a small matter. If it was not handled well, the destruction of the clan and the death of its members was imminent.
Therefore, compared to the netherworld wood, which could be used to nurture the younger generation of the tribe, but was a resource that was difficult to produce results in a short period of time, the three-headed pterolycus ‘actual Foundation establishment combat power was naturally more important.
The old foundation building cultivator from the Mei clan was able to see it clearly and was willing to part with it.
However, the number of disciples from the heaven born sect that had died in his hands had already reached seven.
It was impossible to make the other party stop with a single netherworld wood!
“I’ll make my own decision,” PEI Ling said indifferently. The person who was chasing them now should be that Huo Zhaojing, who was in the late stage of the foundation building realm.
As long as he avoided this person, the other disciples of the heaven born sect wouldn’t be able to do anything to him!
Since that was the case, why should he give up the treasure and lower his head to beg for mercy?
Seeing PEI Ling’s firm attitude, Mei keqiu did not dare to say anything more and could only return to the convoy.
Following that, the convoy continued to travel at full speed. PEI Ling had to be on guard against Huo Zhaojing from behind, so he kept the blood palanquin and, like Jin sumian and the other two, stood guard at the side of the convoy.
In case they were too late to face the enemy.
A few hours later, the group of carriages returned to the entrance of the path of Mount Mei.
Without another word, PEI Ling led the group to Xuan clan Fort.
From the back of Xuan fortress, they could cross the star field, walk through the lonely Sparrow Gorge, and reach the Mei family’s ancestral home after a long detour.
Moreover, the location of Xuan fortress was already the territory of the Zhong gang sect.
Even if Huo Zhaojing dared to chase after him, he would definitely be afraid and would not dare to pester him.
On this road, the most worrying thing was whether Huo Zhaojing would catch up to them when they reached Xuan clan Fort.
As such, for the next five days, be it PEI Ling, Jin sumian, or the other two, the rest of the Mei family members ... Were all tensed up.
However, it was as if the heaven born sect had suddenly disappeared. Until they had completely entered the territory of the Zhong gang sect and were only a day or two away from the Mei family, no one had chased after them.
What was going on?
Could it be that he was afraid of being killed after seven people were killed?
Not only did PEI Ling find it strange, the atmosphere of the entire convoy also gradually became more relaxed from the previous pressure.
Mei keqiu looked at PEI Ling with a gaze full of respect. &Quot; “Branch master PEI, you’re a young man of talent!”
&Quot; the heaven’s born sect pays attention to background. Those who are born in a good family boast that their bloodline is noble. They only allow me to betray others, and no one is allowed to betray me. &Quot;
“It can be said that he will seek revenge for the smallest grievance.”
&Quot; I didn’t expect to be intimidated by branch master PEI’s might today. It’s rare to see you stay here! &Quot;
“Our Mei family is truly blessed to have the help of branch master PEI!”
“This is the Fortune of our Mei clan!”
Hearing this, Dai Baishi continued,”everyone in the outer sect of the sage sect has witnessed the might of the branch head.” The fact that the ERMI family is able to invite the branch head to come is indeed a blessing from our ancestors.”
“Not bad!” Yan Yuming continued, ” although the heaven’s born sect is on equal footing with our glory sect, it still depends on who our glory sect sent this time! Compared to the cultivation level of a branch master, the so-called eldest senior Brother Chun tan is nothing!”
The two of them exchanged words, and in an instant, they had flattered PEI Ling to the point where flowers were falling from the sky.
Jin sumian didn’t say a word. She lowered her head and tidied up the whale riding gemstone belt around her waist.
After these days of getting along, she suddenly felt that although PEI Ling often did things that people could not understand, his strength was truly outstanding.
With the strength of one person, he scared off the heavenly born sect’s strong enemy, who was also a powerhouse of the demon sect. He was truly a shocking talent!
He was also a very responsible person. After accepting the mission, he did not turn against the Mei family because of Dai Baishi and Yan Yuming’s bewitchment. Instead, he did his best to protect the convoy.
She recalled that before she set off, Senior Sister Ouyang had revealed in private that PEI Ling had just built his Foundation and didn’t want to leave the sect. However, when he heard that she urgently needed the alchemical fire, he made an exception and agreed to make this trip.
She tugged at the belt with her bare hands and felt a little upset. She suddenly felt that the rumors about her and PEI Ling did not seem so bad anymore ...
