The Path to Becoming Immortal

The two of them stopped and rested along the way, and didn't meet anyone until the afternoon when they found something was wrong ahead.

Ning Ping and Shen Qingyao were hiding behind a tree, looking at a checkpoint ahead with worried faces. It was a checkpoint guarded by three people, and judging from their attire, they were the force that attacked the South China Gate.

"What should we do! Just go over there?" Shen Qingyao wondered if she could trick them, as she didn't see them in the valley at the time.

"No, the risk is too great. If nothing goes wrong, these people are the ones who attacked the South China Gate. Even if they are not, we can't take the risk."

Ning Ping looked around and found that one side was barely passable, unlike the previous section of the road, which was densely forested and steep on both sides and difficult to walk.

"Let's go from the side and go around. Let's go!"

After saying that, he went to the side, and Shen Qingyao followed closely behind.

At this time, Shen Qingyao was completely unrecognizable, her whole body was dirty, and her face was stained with mud, so her original appearance could not be seen. This was Ning Ping's strong request. At first, Shen Qingyao strongly opposed it, but in the end she could not resist Ning Ping and dressed herself up like this.

The two of them moved forward with difficulty, and they were about to bypass the checkpoint.

"Stop!" Suddenly a lazy voice came from a tree.

Ning Ping was shocked. He had been focusing on the checkpoint just now, but he was negligent on his side. He immediately lowered his body and hid with Shen Qingyao.

"Sure enough, this method works. Don't hide, otherwise don't blame the sword for being ruthless."

"Sister Qing, don't move, I'll deal with it."

Ning Ping knew that others saw both of them clearly, so he quickly told Shen Qingyao and jumped out.

At this time, a brown-robed monk suddenly appeared on the tree, standing steadily on the branch, looking at Ning Ping with a mocking face, and also glanced at the place where Shen Qingyao was hiding not far away.

"Sure enough, it's the fish that slipped through the net of Nanhuamen." The man glanced at Ning Ping's clothes and knew his origin.

"Let us go, these two bottles of pills are yours." Ning Ping took out two bottles of pills from his arms and held them high.

Of course, reaching into his arms was just a cover-up, taking advantage of this action to take out the pills from the storage bag, but who knows...

"Hehe~ Didn't your master teach you not to show your wealth? Kill you, not everything on you is mine!" When the man saw the bottle of medicine in Ning Ping's hand, the faint spiritual fluctuations coming out of it, and stared at Ning Ping greedily. Judging from the fluctuations of the Yuanli on the other party, he didn't need to care about the other party's cultivation at all.

‘Oops~’ Ning Ping had little experience and was originally planning to spend money to buy his way through, but he aroused the other party’s greed. Just now, he detected that the other party’s cultivation was much higher than his own.

The brown-robed monk looked at the checkpoint cautiously, and then moved his body to rush towards Ning Ping. Before he reached the air, he chopped Ning Ping with a palm.

At this moment, there was no time to think about it. Ning Ping jumped to the side, and then pointed his hand, and a strong wind flew towards the man in the air, and then he drew the long sword in his hand.

The brown-robed monk was much smarter than the man in the bamboo hat that Ning Ping had killed before. He twisted his body in the air and cleverly avoided the attacking Yuan Ling finger.

“It seems that you still have two tricks.” The brown-robed monk’s palm missed, and after standing firmly, he looked at Ning Ping with a little surprise.

Ning Ping stared at the other party with a wary face, and then seemed unwilling to delay any more time. The other party immediately raised his palm and rushed towards him again.

Ning Ping's mouth twitched slightly, and then he continued to retreat, but this time the amplitude was much smaller.

When the brown-robed monk came to the place where Ning Ping originally stood, his feet were suddenly tripped by something, and his body leaned forward. He was wondering why he was tripped by something when he had clearly seen the landing point just now. As a result, he was shocked to find that a long sword was waiting for him to hit it.

In the emergency, the brown-robed monk was not afraid of the long sword at all. He chopped the sword with one palm and fell to the ground. When he was about to be thankful for escaping the disaster, he suddenly felt a pain in his back. He got up suddenly and grabbed his hands back. When he looked down, he was shocked to find that the tip of the dagger was exposed on his chest.

At this moment, the brown-robed monk had no intention of chasing Ning Ping. The wound that penetrated his heart was constantly draining his strength out of his body, and he wanted to pull out the dagger in his back with his backhand, but he couldn't reach it.

The huge pain that he hadn't reacted to in a hurry broke out at this time.

"Ah!" A scream echoed in the forest. But before the scream continued, Ning Ping swung the long sword in his hand, and a head flew up in an instant.

The other party suddenly stumbled just now because of the soul body. He originally thought of putting the dagger somewhere and waiting for the other party to hit him, but the brown-robed monk protected his body with both hands, and then he tripped the other party and then hit him again in the back.

But unfortunately, the other party finally shouted out.

While pulling out the dagger, he saw from a distance through the branches that the checkpoint had indeed been alarmed, and several people were walking towards this side.

"Sister Qing, listen to me, you go first and I will lead them away, otherwise both of us can't run away, don't worry about me, go quickly."

Ning Ping said anxiously, and then pushed Shen Qingyao, who had already come, to the front.

"Let's go together, I can't let you take risks alone." Shen Qingyao suddenly became at a loss. You know, although she is much older, she actually relies more on Ning Ping.

"Don't argue now. Don't worry, I have a way to get rid of them. Go quickly. If you don't go now, it will be too late. You don't have to wait for me all the way. It's the same when you meet up in Guangming City. This is a bigu pill. Eat it when you are hungry on the road. Be careful and avoid people when you see them."

Shen Qingyao also knew that this was not the time to be entangled. After taking a bottle of bigu pills, she decisively ran forward.

When Ning Ping saw Shen Qingyao walking away, he turned his head and saw that the three people who came from the checkpoint had approached a lot. Then he turned back and rushed back to the way he came, and deliberately made a huge noise on the way.

Sure enough, the three people instantly noticed the presence of someone, and then the three figures chased Ning Ping behind him, and even fired a whistling arrow.

Not long after, there was movement in the distance, and they all rushed over here, vaguely trying to surround Ning Ping.

Ning Ping looked around while running. He quickly glanced at the movement in the distance. Together with the three people behind him, there were almost ten people. He didn't expect that there were so many people hiding in this area. Fortunately, Shen Qingyao had just rushed out. Now that these people were attracted by him, she was safer.

Not to mention, this was a trap specially set up by the forces attacking Nanhua Gate. The checkpoints on the surface were just to paralyze the people coming. The people hiding on both sides played a role. Other places were difficult to pass, and this was an excellent location.
