In the city temple, there was only one old man sitting cross-legged on the ground, dressed in rags.
If Shatao hadn't known that this was the Heavenly Halberd Peak's transmission point, he would have been called a beggar.He came in front of the old man and said, "Senior, we want to use the teleportation array.
Please make it convenient."The old man didn't even open his eyes and said, "Every time the teleportation array is activated, it will cost at least a rock and a high-grade crystal.
The distance between us will be further increased.""What?
A high-grade crystal stone?
Why aren't you going to rob it?" Flying Serpent exclaimed.
He was used to being poor, and a high-grade crystal stone was already a huge sum of money, let alone ten."If you don't have crystals, then it will be easy.
Forgive me for not sending them far away!" The old man said indifferently, his eyes never opening."Fryu, shut up!" Shatao shouted, turning to the old man and saying, "Senior, the crystals aren't a problem.
If we want to go to the starry river, how many crystals do we need to pay?""50!" The old man said.As soon as Jieluo heard that, he became anxious again.
Fortunately, Shatao held him down and said, "Alright!
Senior, please help us activate the transmission array.
We need it urgently!"The old man finally moved.
He opened his eyes and slowly stood up.
"I'll pay you fifty high-grade crystals first!"Shatao thought to himself, 'I thought these great sects would be arrogant.
So it turns out that they are also so vulgar.
Every word they say is worth money.' He didn't want to think about how huge the expenses of those great sects were.
Crystals were essential for cultivators.
Cultivating and arranging arrays to refine pills, how could they be separated from them?'Thinking about it, he took out 50 crystals and handed them to the old man.The old man was happy as well.
He arrived in front of a giant rock that looked like a man's tall millstone.
The surface of the boulder was carved with curved runes, and there were also three huge grooves.
He took out a few crystals and placed them on the grooves.
Then, he cast out a series of hand seals.
In an instant, the entire millstone began to rotate, and as it rotated faster and faster, stars began to rise.."This Heavenly Halberd Peak is so dark.
I think he put five high-grade crystals in it.
He actually wants fifty crystals.
It's even darker than the black dots," complained Friar.Shatao said, "Don't talk!
There's a situation!""What?" Shatao looked over and saw two people standing outside the door staring at him."What do they want to do?" Flying Serpent asked softly."I don't know.
Let's just wait and see what happens!" Shatao said.
His pores were protruding out of his body, and he could clearly sense the old man's aura locking down on him.
It seemed that the old man didn't have any good intentions.
Strangely enough, how did he know his identity?
Even Ancient Sword Academy didn't know the grudges between them..The old man at the door said to the middle-aged man beside him, "Are you sure it's him?"The middle-aged man nodded.
"It's definitely him.
Junior Brother Ding and I are as close as brothers and sisters.
I know some of his things as well.
The storage belt on his waist must belong to Martial Nephew Ding.
It must be the two who killed Martial Nephew Ding.
Father, you must avenge him!"The old man said, "Those two must be captured alive.
If we make a move later, you can help them to prevent them from escaping.""Mm, don't worry.
I will definitely not let them off." The middle aged man's eyes were filled with hatred as he stared at Sha Tao.Shatao whispered, "It seems like we're in trouble."Feng Luo asked, "What do we do?"Shatao said, "Try to buy as much time as possible.
Once the transmission array is activated, we'll jump in.
When we leave, we don't care what happens to him.""Okay!" Flying Serpent nodded.Sha Taolang asked, "Senior, did I offend you somewhere?"The old man asked, "Where did you get your belt of holding?"Shatao didn't change his expression as he said, "Oh, so it turns out that senior is interested in junior's belt.
However, I'm sorry.
I bought this belt from someone else and spent 3,000 high-grade crystals.
It's impossible for you to give it to senior.
If you like it, give me a 20 percent discount and you can take 25 high-grade crystals.
What do you think?".Shatao didn't change his expression and said, "Oh, so it turns out that Senior is interested in Junior's belt.
However, I'm sorry, but I bought this belt from someone else.
I spent 3,000 high-grade crystals, so it's impossible for you to give it to Senior.
If you like it, give me a 20% discount, and you can take 2500 high-grade crystals.
How about it?"The middle-aged man said sternly, "Don't spout nonsense.
Tell me honestly, did you steal this waistband from my junior brother?
Did you kill my junior brother?
Quickly tell me, or I won't let you off!"He was about to attack, but the old man stopped him and said in a low voice, "Liang'er, don't be impulsive.
This is the territory of the Heavenly Halberd Peak.
Don't cause trouble."Shatao put down his face and said, "Who are you?
Who's your junior brother?
What does his death have to do with me?
I only know that I spent 3,000 high-grade crystals to buy this belt.
Everything else has nothing to do with me."The old man suddenly said, "This belt originally belongs to our sect.
Now that you said that this belt was bought, I won't make things difficult for you.
Very well then, tell me the time, the place, and the character."Shatao said, "The location is in Ancient City.
It was three days ago.
As for the characters, they are about forty years old.
I don't know anything else."A sharp light flashed in the old man's eyes and he shouted, "You're lying.
When you answered me, your mind was beating abnormally and your eyes were also dodging.
You must be that middle-aged man, right?"At this moment, the old man from Heaven's Halberd Peak said, "The teleportation array has been fully activated, and the teleportation will start in five seconds.
Go up quickly.
The end point is Breeze City."Shatao's face lit up as he said, "Congratulations, you got it right.
I was the one who killed your Junior Brother.
His name is Ding Shengjie, right?
I've been annoyed with him for a long time.
Haha!
I really want to take revenge, right?
Bye bye!" With that, he pulled the Flying Fireball and jumped onto the spinning millstone.
Soon, it was surrounded by the starlight.."Boss, we didn't kill Ding Shengjie, why do we have to drag him into this?"Shatao said, "Would he believe you if you said you didn't kill him?
Ancient Sword Academy?
Since you're going to be the scapegoat anyway, why don't you be the scapegoat instead?"Suddenly, a powerful suction force came from the void.

Shatao quickly used his true essence to cover his entire body, resisting the suction force from harming his body.Suddenly, Shatao's body shook and he felt as if the astral energy around him had become chaotic.
He could vaguely hear the explosion outside and the angry roars of the old man from Heavenly Halberd Peak.
Shatao cried out in sorrow: I didn't think that those two people would dare to cause trouble on the ground of Heavenly Halberd Peak.
Damn, they killed me.
I don't know if the teleportation array will be able to harm the teleporter midway..In a trance, dizzy, and just for a moment, Sha Tao is already in a different place."Damn, what the hell is this place?
It looks like a desert!
Didn't the old man from Heavenly Halberd Peak say that the end point is Clearwind City?
This is clearly a desert, so the reputation of Heavenly Halberd Peak is just like that," Lin Luo said.There was a scorching sun above his head, and there was hot sand under his feet.
It would be strange if it wasn't a desert!Shatao said, "Okay, it's probably because of the two people from Ancient Sword Academy.
Fortunately, it's just a deviation." He looked into the distance and said, "There's a team ten kilometers ahead.
Let's go take a look."The two of them flew forward.
Not long after, a group of people appeared at the horizon.
It was a group of about a hundred people.
The bells rang and they slowly walked forward.Feng Luo said, "It's just a team of hunchbacks.
Boss, let's go.
I can cross it with just a cup of tea in this desert."Shatao said, "Are you stupid?
Now that we have offended the two major factions in the Domain of Nether Tribulation, we should keep a low profile in this unfamiliar environment.
Who knows if the Ancient Sword Academy and the Crimson Desolate Palace have any influence in the starry river?
If we are discovered, I don't think I need to tell you the result, right?".Shatao said, "Are you stupid?
Now that we've offended the two major powers in the Domain of Nether Tribulation, we should keep a low profile in this unfamiliar environment.
Who knows if Ancient Sword Academy and Crimson Desolate Palace have any influence in Xuanxuan?
If we're discovered, I don't think I need to tell you the result, right?""Are you saying that we blended into this camel team?" asked Friar.Shatao laughed, "That's right!
It's Wangdao who keeps a low profile.""But what identity do we use to sneak into their camel team?" Lin Luo asked."Yeah, let me think about it." Shatao said, "Right, just say that we're the guards of a merchant group, but we were robbed by bandits in the desert and dispersed.
There's no way out now, so I hope that they can take us in.
What do you say?""I think so.
Let's do it!"The two of them smiled and disappeared from the spot.Clang!
Clang!
Clang!
Clang!
Clang!
The hunchbacks extended over a hundred meters.
Over a hundred merchant caravans could already be considered large caravans.
Among them, there were only seventy guards, each with a saber on their backs, and they were all imposing and imposing.The leader of the caravan was a big man with a beard.
He rode a tall horse and carried a huge tiger-head saber on his shoulder.
His face was full of flesh and he looked ferocious."Big bro, isn't the remuneration given by Rose's caravan a little low?
It's only three thousand silver taels, it's just enough for the brothers, there's not a single bit left.
This way, we've run away for nothing in the past three months," a cold-looking middle aged man said in a low voice."It's a bit low, but this is the price that Eldest Brother said himself.
No wonder it's the Rose Merchant Team.
Eldest Brother means to repay the favour the Rose Merchant Team gave me last year, so from the moment we accepted this mission, we are doomed to not be able to earn money.
"The bearded man nodded and said, "Our hunters mercenary group stands by trust.
Since Rose's group is grateful to us, we should repay each other in a rush.
It's not a big deal to earn less money.
""But all sixty to seventy brothers in the guild have to feed their families.
They don't get paid for three months.
Even if I don't say anything, the brothers below will complain," the cold middle-aged man said."Hehe, Big Brother, Second Brother is worried about the entire team of rice and salt.
Every penny he takes must be calculated carefully," the charming woman said with a smile.The bearded man frowned and said, "How about this, distribute all our resources to our brothers.
Second brother, you are right.
It will not be easy for our brothers to feed themselves."The cold-faced middle-aged man hurriedly said, "Big brother, that's the emergency funds used by the guild.
If there's a problem with us brothers, we'll have to rely on it to pay our pension.
We can't move this money at all.""Alright, alright, isn't this special treatment?
Isn't there six months before the end of the year?
These six months are enough for us to borrow a few large deals." The bearded man waved his hand.Seeing that the bearded man had made up his mind, the cold middle-aged man could only give up on persuasion and lower his head without saying anything.The charming woman said, "Big brother, there are so many sand thieves in this area.
I'll go down and tell my brothers to be careful."The bearded man said, "Alright, tell those brats to be more vigilant.
Don't lose the reputation of our hunters mercenary group.
We must escort Rose's caravan to Qingfeng City safely!"The charming woman agreed, then waved her horsewhip and galloped towards the back of the camel team.After a while, the bearded man suddenly raised the tigerhead saber in his hand and shouted, "Stop!
Everyone, be on alert!"In an instant, a row of guards with shields stood in front of the team.
Then, they heard the sound of the sword being drawn, and the whole team stared in front vigilantly.A middle-aged man with a big belly got out of the carriage and came to the side of the bearded man.
As he wiped the sweat off his head, he asked, "Guild Leader Baner, what happened?
Why did you suddenly stop?""Luolao, there's a small situation.
It's better to be careful," said Banner, bearded.It turned out that two people suddenly appeared in front of the camel team.
They seemed to be running crazily towards the camel team.
Not long after, the two of them arrived in front of them.
Two young men in green clothes and one bald head."Who are you?" Bana asked loudly.That's right.
These two were none other than Shatao and Jieluo.
When they heard Bana's question, Shatao cupped his fists and said, "Big brother, we are the guards of Yundian Trade House's caravan.
Two days ago, our caravan was attacked by bandits.
Unfortunately, we were separated from each other.
Our food has long been gone.
I hope that your caravan can take us in.
We are extremely grateful!".That's right, these two people were none other than Shatao and Jieluo.
Hearing Bana's question, Shatao cupped his fists and said, "Big brother, we're the guards of Yundian Trade House's caravan.
Two days ago, our caravan was attacked by bandits, and unfortunately, we were separated from each other.
Our food is long gone.
I hope that your caravan can take us in.
We're extremely grateful!""This..." Bana didn't dare to randomly accept people.
After all, the caravan wasn't his.
He looked at Elder Luo and asked for his opinion.
