Chapter 74 74 First Step, One Step Away

Chapter 74: One step ahead

"Well, just hand this man over to me." Xia Bo took the captive from Lei Jun.

He looked at Lei Jun: "Did you see nephew Xu on the way back, besides nephew Tang?"

As for Tang Xiaotang, Xia Bo didn't need to ask more. He had received news before seeing Lei Jun that Tang Xiaotang had gone to Chiyuan Cave Heaven.

There was no movement from Huang Tiandao there for the time being.

Although Tang Xiaotang had made a wasted trip, it was good news for Tianshi Mansion that Chiyuan Cave Heaven was safe.

But Xu Yuanzhen was chasing the mysterious strong man who plotted against Tianshi, and there had been no news of both for some time.

Lei Jun: "I haven't seen her, nor heard any news about the senior sister."

Xia Bo pondered: "The mysterious murderer who murdered the head brother is hateful, but in this troubled time, I still hope that nephew Xu will be more careful and don't chase the desperate enemy."

Lei Jun: "Uncle Xia, who is the mysterious murderer?"

Xia Bo shook his head: "It's still unclear now. We can only wait for nephew Xu to return to the mountain to see if she finds out."

He looked at Lei Jun and smiled again: "I heard about the Tianxu Sect. You did a good job. Brother Tu praised you a lot.

In addition, Chongqing almost fell into the hands of the Huangtian Dao demon. Thanks to your rescue, he was able to escape."

Chongqing is Xia Qing's Taoist name. Xia Bo is both her uncle and her mentor.

"The whole sect of Tianxu Mountain was united under the leadership of Master Tu, and they were able to repel the enemy. I just kept in mind the teachings of my seniors and followed Master Tu's orders."

Lei Jun said: "The sect has always taught us to be friendly and help each other. I believe that if I were in danger, Senior Sister Xia would also lend a hand."

Xia Bo smiled and nodded: "That's right, but if you want to reward me, then reward me. Whether I am your senior or your uncle of the same clan as Chongqing, how can I not express my gratitude?"

He thought for a while and took out a brocade box, which was quite large:

"You are learning Taoism with Junior Brother Yuan, so you have everything you need. I really can't give you something too common, but I think this one will be more suitable for you."

Lei Jun took the brocade box: "I dare not refuse the gift from my seniors. I thank Master Xia for the treasure."

After coming out of Xia Bo's place, Lei Jun opened the brocade box, and the box was immediately filled with spiritual energy.

What appeared in front of him was a huge black bag that looked like a raindrop, but with a diameter of nearly one foot.

The black sac has no luster on the surface, but it exudes abundant spirituality.

It smells faintly of blood, but it is not fishy, ​​just a sense of hotness and wildness.

[Bear King Xuan Gallbladder]

Lei Jun was blessed with such a name in his mind.

"Is this the sixth-grade opportunity mentioned in the second middle-upper lot?"

Lei Jun nodded and put it in his pocket.

But he was still curious in his heart. If he didn't rush back to Longhu Mountain as soon as possible, would he miss this treasure?

Lei Jun couldn't help but wonder what would happen to Tang Xiaotang's fifth-grade opportunity mentioned in the first middle-upper lot?

He closed the lid of the brocade box, then took out the longitude and latitude box that Chu Yu had given him earlier, and temporarily put the huge brocade box in it, with the big box inside the small box.

After packing up his personal belongings, Lei Jun asked other fellow brothers about the current situation of the mountain gate.

Xu Yuanzhen, Yuan Mobai, and Tang Xiaotang were not there.

Wang Guiyuan and Luo Haoran were on the mountain.

Lei Jun went to see his fellow senior brother Wang Guiyuan first.

"Brother Lei, it's great that you returned safely."

Wang Guiyuan was surprised at first, then sighed: "If I had known that there would be so many things in the future, I would have prepared more things for you when you left the mountain."

Lei Jun smiled and said: "It's already a lot, and there are still some extra to bring back."

The two brothers sat down, and Wang Guiyuan first introduced the current situation on the mountain to Lei Jun.

The death of the head master uncle Li Qingfeng undoubtedly dealt a heavy blow to the Tianshi Mansion.

...It may be a bit disrespectful to the deceased Tianshi, but it must be said that it is fortunate in misfortune that the Tianshi dragged the head of the Lin clan to die together before his death.

The Jiangzhou Lin clan now attracts more attention from the world than their Tianshi Mansion, and the attention of other major forces is currently mostly focused on Jiangzhou.

This gives the Tianshi Mansion an opportunity to regroup.

Even if the contemporary Tianshi is gone, Longhu Mountain will have no problem controlling the old rival Huang Tiandao in a one-on-one fight.

At present, the second uncle Li Hongyu, wearing the Heavenly Master robe, is fighting against the head of Huang Tiandao, Taiping Taoist.

The third uncle Li Ziyang, the fourth uncle Yao Yuan, and Lei Jun's master Yuan Mobai, together with Tang Xiaotang, the four masters led the counterattacks in four directions respectively, and have successfully squeezed a group of Huang Tiandao masters out of Longhu Mountain, making the gate of Tianshi Mansion stable again.

The fifth uncle Shangguan Ning is also outside the mountain, supporting Yuan Mobai and others while paying attention to the direction of Jiangzhou.

The focus is no longer on the Lin clan, but on other major forces in the cultivation world.

In case there are other strong hands, turn the spearhead to Longhu Mountain.

At the same time, Shangguan Ning is also responsible for contacting and communicating with the Tang Dynasty imperial family.

The young Tianshi Li Zhengxuan is holding the Tianshi sword, and he and the great elder Li Song are currently staying at the gate of the mountain.

Generally speaking, Tianshi Mansion showed a certain restraint in the counterattack against Huang Tiandao.

Being cautious is not just for Huang Tiandao, but also to prevent others from taking advantage of the situation.

"Brother, how have you been doing recently?" Lei Jun asked.

Wang Guiyuan: "I have been staying in the mountains. Although I have never fought with the enemy, I have a heavy burden on my shoulders."

Lei Jun: "Oh? What is your position, brother?"

Wang Guiyuan: "I and several other brothers and sisters will follow an uncle to guard the forbidden area of ​​the ancestral mausoleum in the back mountain."

"..."

Lei Jun leaned back slightly and looked Wang Guiyuan up and down again.

Wang Guiyuan's expression was solemn: "Brother Lei, do you want to come? This burden is a heavy responsibility!"

Lei Jun: "It is indeed a heavy responsibility. Only a great talent like you can be competent. As for me, just listen to the arrangements of the elders of the sect."

Wang Guiyuan regretted: "Brother Lei, you are still brave enough to take on the task, but the risk is great. Be careful in everything."

…………

While Lei Jun and his brothers were chatting, another disciple came to see Xia Bo.

"Uncle Xia, I am lucky to have fulfilled my mission."

Chen Yi, who was already a handsome young man at the age of 20, saluted Xia Bo.

Xia Bo smiled and nodded: "Well done, you have accumulated a lot of merits and virtues, and you should be rewarded."

After that, he nodded to a young man standing beside him.

The young man was wearing a crimson Taoist robe and was a disciple who was receiving the ordination. Seeing Xia Bo's gesture, he immediately took out a jade bottle and handed it to Chen Yi: "Junior Brother Chen."

Chen Yi took it: "Thank you, Uncle Xia, for the gift, and thank you, Senior Brother Xia."

The young man's name was Xia Xiushan. He was Xia Bo's eldest disciple and also his nephew. He and Xia Qing were brothers from the same clan.

After watching Chen Yi leave, he looked at Xia Bo with some surprise: "Master..."

Xia Bo: "What?"

Xia Xiushan said softly: "I remember you mentioned before that you were going to reward Junior Brother Chen with the Bear King's Black Gallbladder?"

Chen Yi's master Yao Yuan had always been close to Li Hongyu and Xia Bo and his wife, so Xia Bo took care of Chen Yi.

Although there were some small mistakes at the beginning, Xia Bo generally admired Chen Yi.

"At that time, I didn't know about Master Lei's rescue of Chongqing. I did have relevant plans, but later I just wanted to follow fate."

Xia Bo smiled: "It's okay. The current division is also for their respective uses.

The black gall of the bear king is relatively rare and precious. First come first served. Whoever can get it is also a great opportunity. As a cultivator of our generation, we should act according to fate and follow the will of heaven."
