The righteous female cultivator loves to act coquettishly, while the demon empress is very arrogant

Ruan Dongling was surprised and shocked by the power of his sword.

She knew that when her Red Sky Sword attacked, Samadhi True Fire would appear, and she also knew that this sword light would appear, but she didn't know why thunder would appear in this flame.

Suddenly, Ruan Dongling remembered the thunder that he had absorbed into his body when he was overcoming the tribulation.

There is indeed a faint layer of lightning lingering on her Dao Pill. Could this be the reason?

Ruan Dongling stepped on the void and jumped up again!

Her target is the Iron-billed Bird King!

At this time, the bird king seemed to feel the danger. All its feathers stood up and it flapped its wings as if to escape.

Countless iron-billed birds surrounded the bird king, using their own bodies to block Ruan Dongling's sword, trying to protect their king with their flesh and blood.

How could Ruan Dongling let these flat-haired beasts succeed?

The Iron-billed Bird has always been one of the most disgusting and troublesome monsters for monks. It has always been among the top three most disliked monsters by monks. Its status is similar to that of flies and mosquitoes in the eyes of modern people.

Because Ruan Dongling was entangled with the Iron-billed Bird King, he was besieged by a group of Iron-billed Birds.

However, Ruan Dongling was not the only one who had this idea. Another disciple also came towards the Iron-billed Bird King together with Ruan Dongling.

This disciple was even more irritable than Ruan Dongling, the brave brother who was the first to jump off the flying boat.

The warrior brother’s name is Jiang Lang, and he is a disciple of the Qingzhu Sect.

At this time, Ruan Dongling and Jiang Lang were surrounded by countless iron-billed birds surrounding the bird king.

"Jiang Yongshi, you think of a way to lure these annoying iron-billed birds to your side, and I will kill the bird king! Ouch..."

Ruan Dongling was doing two things at once, shouting towards Jiang Lang in the distance. Inadvertently, he was pecked on the waist by an iron-billed bird, and he immediately grinned in pain.

"The Bird King is too dangerous, it's better for me to deal with it! Junior sister, please lure these iron-billed birds to your side!"

Jiang Lang's sword skills were so perfect that he didn't let any iron-billed bird get close to him.

Who wants to deal with these annoying birds?

Anyway, neither of them wanted to, so they just kept arguing.

When Ruan Dongling cut a bloody path with one sword and rushed out of the flock of birds, he saw Zhao Zeyan's shocking sword!

That sword seemed to cut through the sky, splitting the bird king in half as it fled rapidly in the air!

Zhao Zeyan is now at the early stage of the Golden Elixir!

He didn't fly into the air, but just lightly swung his sword on the ground.

But the sword intention contained in this sword is extremely profound, with the implication of reducing complexity into simplicity and uniting thousands of swords into one.

He is worthy of being called the genius of swordsmanship!

This is the power of a sword from a top sword cultivator! How terrifying!

Ruan Dongling looked at this sword, and an idea suddenly appeared in his mind!

A villain appeared in front of her, performing the "Empty Cicada Sword Technique" on her as if in a movie.

Ruan Dongling watched this villain playing swordsmanship, and his understanding of the "Empty Cicada Sword Technique" became more and more profound.

Originally, she understood the early stage of "Empty Cicada Sword Technique" by showing off, but at this moment, her understanding of "Empty Cicada Sword Technique" entered the middle stage.

With the death of the bird king, the iron-billed bird flock finally began to collapse from the inside out.

After the death of the bird king, these iron-billed birds became afraid of these monks and began to intend to escape.

"Leave no one behind! Don't let them escape!" someone shouted loudly.

Of course Ruan Dongling knows.

Why is this iron-billed bird ranked among the top three monsters that monks hate the most?

Because in this case, even if one iron-billed bird escapes by luck, it will gather a group of iron-billed birds in a short time to chase them.

If they don't kill them all at once, the Iron-billed Birds will pester them endlessly.

In the end, under the powerful display of various magic weapons and weapons, this large group of iron-billed birds was finally wiped out.

Ruan Dongling was pecked twice by the iron-billed bird, one on the waist and one on the arm.

Don't tell me, it really hurts.

Everyone present was more or less pecked. After the battle, Ye Dusi gasped for air.

Young monk Chengyuan looked at the corpses of the iron-billed birds on the ground, his expression full of compassion. He clasped his hands together and recited, "Amitabha, it is such a sin..."

The young monk Chengyuan did not kill the birds, he was only busy saving people.

The six people from the four northwest sects were all injured. The elders of the Shenhuo sect were also at the end of their strength and had lost their strength when everyone arrived.

The matter was finally settled.

Elder Wang Fugui took sixteen people on the Tianyuan Sect flying boat and returned to Lingxiao Holy Land.

The five disciples of the four northwest sects are three men and two women. Except for the Shenhuo sect, which has two disciples, the other three sects all have one disciple.

All of these five people are injured, and they are all quite serious. It is very likely that they will not be able to participate in the sect competition.

But the elder of the Shenhuo Sect said that it didn't matter if he couldn't participate in the sect competition. He just hoped that these disciples could participate in the training and gain insights. After all, the opportunity was rare.

Their four sects live in the northwest, and their sects are located on the edge of the desert.

The spiritual energy there is extremely thin, practice is very difficult, and all kinds of practice resources are extremely scarce.

These four factions rarely leave the sect unless there are special circumstances.

It's not like they haven't thought about relocating the sect, but the desert border is full of dangers, monsters are rampant in the desert, and disasters are constant. The sect must guard and protect the mortals on the desert border.

So there were the Shenhuo Sect, the Shuiqing Sect, the Wood Spirit Sect and the Red Earth Sect, collectively known as the Four Northwest Sects.

In fact, the four northwest sects' contribution to the entire Zhenwu Prefecture is no less than that of any other sect.

As long as these four sects leave, the scope of the desert will expand infinitely. This is what is meant by the saying that people retreat from the sand and advance into the desert.

As the desert expands, the aura of Zhenwu State will become increasingly scarce.

For a long time, these four sects have been fighting against the desert and guarding this line of defense.

But as time went by, the efforts and contributions of the four sects were gradually forgotten by people, and they took it all for granted.

But just because among these four sects, there is not even a monk in the realm of transformation into gods, so they have never been looked down upon by other sects.

Hundreds of thousands of years ago, the Zhenwu Prefecture sects had negotiated that every hundred years, the other sects would donate cultivation resources and aid to the four northwest sects.

Each sect donates cultivation resources in a certain proportion according to the strength of the sect, including exercises, spiritual stones, elixirs, magical weapons, spiritual plants, spiritual veins, etc.

In the first tens of thousands of years, this rule was still implemented very well. At that time, the four northwest sects were still the four northwest sects, and their strength was not as weak as it is now.

But in the long course of time, the old and new sects in Zhenwu Prefecture have been constantly alternating, gradually breaking this rule.

By now, probably for tens of thousands of years, the four sects have not received support from other sects in terms of cultivation resources.

It seems that except for Tianyuan Sect and Zen Sect who still donate certain resources every hundred years, other sects no longer implement it.

This is also because Tianyuan Sect and Zen Sect have been standing in Zhenwu Prefecture for hundreds of thousands of years.

Therefore, the strength of the four factions became weaker and weaker, and eventually fell to the bottom.

Ruan Dongling is familiar with the history of Zhenwu Prefecture, so he naturally knows the greatness of the four sects, and also knows how much these four sects have paid for the entire Zhenwu Prefecture.

But among today's younger generation of monks, even among the monks of Elder Wang's generation, how many still remember these things?

Ruan Dongling can't control what others do, but she can control herself.

Ruan Dongling was particularly concerned about these five injured disciples and took out all kinds of elixirs to cure their injuries before the competition.

Not only did she do it herself, but she also asked little monk Chengyuan to help her.

The healing techniques of Zen Buddhism are also very extraordinary. Chengyuan is also very knowledgeable in the field of treatment and his medical skills are very good.

Coupled with Ruan Dongling's elixir, it is not difficult to make these five disciples recover.

Among the five disciples, there was a little girl from the Shenhuo Sect. She was only twelve years old, but she was already at the ninth level of Qi Refining.

This little girl's name is Mina. She has long light brown curly hair, a pair of very beautiful blue pupils, very long eyelashes, and a small and tall nose. She really looks like a Barbie doll.

When Ruan Dongling saw Xiao Mina for the first time, she thought she was probably the little beauty from the Western Regions in her world!

Mina looked at people timidly.

But after Ruan Dongling fed her a few pills, she became close to Ruan Dongling.

Xiao Mina's voice is soft and waxy, very nice.

She told Ruan Dongling that she was the most talented disciple of the four northwest sects in the past thousand years, saying that she could definitely become a great monk in the realm of gods, and could lead the four sects to drive the desert nearly a thousand feet away from the human race...

Ruan Dongling hugged Xiao Mina, her heart was so soft.

"Mina, do you want to leave Zhenwu State and see the outside world?"

Ruan Dongling gently pinched Mina's little face. It was soft and smooth and felt very good.

Mina nodded heavily, "Sister Ling'er, but we are all injured, can we still participate in this competition?"

"If you can't participate, can you take us with you?"

"I heard from my brothers and sisters in the sect that the outside world is very big, with green mountains, clear water, soft grass and red flowers..."

"There are also many magical rare birds and animals...there are very, very beautiful scenery..."

"They all said that there is more than just sand in the world, so I really want to go and see..."

Mina spoke, her beautiful blue pupils full of yearning.

"Okay! Then I will definitely cure you! You have to work hard to get better, and then I will take you out to learn more!" Ruan Dongling slapped his chest, very proud.

Resting and healing in the same room as Mina was another female disciple.

This female disciple comes from the Shuiqing Sect, is about the same age as Ruan Dongling, and is also at the ninth level of Qi Refining.

Her name is Anu, and she is an alchemy cultivator. She is extremely talented in alchemy, but her cultivation resources cannot keep up, so she has not been able to build a foundation.

Anu's facial features are exquisite, but his skin is dark and rough, and there are two red lumps on his cheekbones that have been blown by wind and sand all year round.

She always secretly stares at Ruan Dongling from time to time, her brown eyes full of admiration.
