The icy cold wind blew on everyone's faces, and their skin felt as if they had been pricked by needles.

Master Wu walked at the front of the crowd with a compass in hand, followed by Liu Jin, Zhao Xiaoqian and others. Shi Xiao and Li Chaoyuan walked slowly at the end.

It is now approaching the afternoon, and there are still some scattered snowflakes falling in the sky.

The location where everyone is currently located is not the depths of the Kunlun South Ridge, but only the outermost dense forest. There are still traces of paths taken by predecessors around, and there are also traces of human activities around it.

As people gradually walked inside, the atmosphere became more and more silent.

The only sounds in my ears were the whistling of the wind and snow and the breathing of everyone. Except for a few sporadic birdsong, everything was quiet.

At this moment, Master Wu, who was walking at the front, stopped.

"Well, everyone, look at the open space ahead." Master Wu exclaimed, pointing his finger at the open space not far ahead. In front of him, he saw seven or eight giant trees that had been toppled to the ground, and there were a lot of scratches and scratches around them.

Deep pit.

Liu Jin hurriedly stepped forward to investigate, and his face became a little ugly.

"Mr. Qin, there are traces of battle here. And it should be a battle between martial arts masters." Liu Jin said with a solemn expression.

The battle of this level was very fierce. Although there were traces of cover-up around it, the opponent seemed to be very anxious. Many traces had not been dealt with. After careful investigation, Liu Jin knew the secret.

At this time, Shi Xiao and others also gathered around. There were traces of fighting dozens of meters around, but it was particularly obvious here.

"We haven't gone deep into the Kunlun South Mountains yet. Since there is a battle breaking out at the grandmaster level." Shi Xiao thought secretly. The faces of others also looked a little bad.

Liu Jin and Song Meng squatted down and observed carefully. The traces of the battle extended from inside.

"Mr. Qin, do we want to continue moving forward?" Liu Jin asked in a low voice.

Mr. Qin's face was a little ugly, and he didn't think about going out to explore the road and encountering such a thing. But it was still early, so Mr. Qin decided to move on after thinking for a while.

But everyone is on heightened alert, which means that warriors from other forces may appear here.

Li Chaoyuan was a little nervous. He had never experienced a life-and-death fight before, but he turned to look at Shi Xiao who was aside and couldn't help but feel relieved.

At this time, Shi Xiao's expression did not change, and he was still watching the surrounding scene calmly. However, Li Chaoyuan didn't know that Shi Xiao had already entered and radiated spiritual consciousness.

The surrounding area of ​​hundreds of meters is covered by Shi Xiao's spiritual consciousness. As long as there is any disturbance, Shi Xiao will know it.

Everyone walked forward another two to three hundred meters, and the density of the surrounding giant trees increased a lot. There were also some footprints of wild beasts around, and this place was completely out of the realm of humans.

At this moment, a deafening roar echoed through the forest.

"Well, there are tigers around here?!" Li Chaoyuan said in surprise.

Shi Xiao's gaze has fallen on the left side of everyone, and his consciousness has detected a huge tiger staring at everyone in the distance.

Liu Jin and others looked shocked. They didn't expect to encounter a tiger blocking their way here.

"Where it is, please be careful." Shi Xiao said lightly, while looking to the left of everyone.

Liu Jin, Song Meng, and Master Qin Lao Wu looked over at Shi Xiao instantly. They had not found any trace of the tiger yet. How did Shi Xiao find it?

Before anyone could ask, there was a loud noise around him.

I saw two tigers, one big and one small, appearing about ten meters away to the left of everyone. It looked like they were a team of mother and son.

"It seems that we have broken into their territory. It's really a coincidence." Liu Jin smiled lightly. They are all martial arts masters, and the two tigers pose little threat to them.

It was obviously the first time for Wu Xiuxiu to see a tiger up close, and a hint of surprise flashed in her eyes.

"Okay, let's leave here as soon as possible. If we walk a few hundred meters further, let's go back, Mr. Qin." Liu Jin turned around and asked.

"Okay, after one round trip, it will probably be dark soon." Mr. Qin nodded in response.

However, these two tigers obviously did not want to let everyone go. Perhaps because food was scarce in Kunlun Nanling, Shi Xiao and others were rare ingredients for them.

The two tigers were crawling toward the crowd in a hunting posture, with very obvious muscle lines on their bodies.

"It's really troublesome, they actually want to attack us." Liu Jin frowned, and then he and Song Meng took action to deal with the tigers.

If we don't kill them, these tigers might really attack them.

At this time, Wu Xiuxiu next to them stopped the two of them.

"Hey, can you not hurt them? These two tigers are so powerful and domineering, and the patterns on their bodies are very beautiful." Wu Xiuxiu said in a low voice.

Liu Jin and Song Meng couldn't help but look bitter after hearing this. This tiger is not an ordinary animal. If you leave it alone, it may hurt them.

At this time, Shi Xiao next to him suddenly took action.

With a light wave of his right hand, a ray of spiritual energy suddenly floated away, and then he easily sent the two tigers away more than ten meters away. The two tigers were frightened and fled in panic when they saw such a method.

Wu Xiuxiu's eyes showed surprise, she didn't expect Shi Xiao to take action.

"You, you are also a martial arts master? How is this possible?!" Wu Xiuxiu couldn't help but look surprised. Shi Xiao looked to be a few years older than her, but the method just now could only be accomplished by a martial arts master.

Condensing Qi into form and releasing Gang Qi outwards, this power has become extremely powerful and otherworldly.

"Why, doesn't it look like it?" Shi Xiao said calmly.

At this time, Liu Jin, Master Wu and others who did not know Shi Xiao's identity all looked surprised. They did not expect that the young man they looked down on at first turned out to be a martial arts master.

Such a young martial arts master is only possible for close disciples of major super sects.

Wu Xiuxiu couldn't help but look up and down at Shi Xiao. She didn't feel any thick aura from him. She had also seen many martial arts masters, and the auras of these masters were obviously different from ordinary people.

The Gang Qi and momentum contained in the body are different from ordinary people, and people can feel it no matter how hidden it is. After all, from a biological level, the two are completely different.

As for Shi Xiao's aura, firstly, his cultivation is different from that of a monk in the Foundation Establishment Stage and a warrior. Secondly, his personal cultivation state is different, and he has long since reached the state of returning to his original nature.

Just when Wu Xiuxiu wanted to step forward and continue to investigate, Master Wu next to her stopped her.

"I didn't expect that Xiaoyou Shi would be able to achieve the status of a martial arts master at such a young age despite being so secretive. I'm sure he will achieve great things in the future. I wonder which sect you studied under?" Master Wu said respectfully.

The original look of contempt and disgust towards Shi Xiao disappeared, but there was a look of respect in his eyes.

Although Master Wu is very good-looking, he is also very knowledgeable about the ways of the world. Not only did Shi Xiao show his ability to form void formations before, but now he has shown his identity as a martial arts master.

Anyone who is not mentally ill can realize that Shi Xiao's identity is certainly not simple.

"Without any sect, I'm just a casual cultivator." Shi Xiao said calmly.

Master Wu smiled slightly: "That further shows that Shi Xiaoyou's talent is so high that he can reach the level of a martial arts master by himself."

"If you don't mind it, you can come to my Shenyinmen as a guest in the future and have a good chat."

Master Wu's mind immediately changed. It would be a pity not to win over such a talent. Maybe after a few years, this person's cultivation may surpass his own.

He is a very realistic and unpretentious person. Shi Xiao was dispensable to him before, so Master Wu naturally didn't bother to talk to him.

But what Shi Xiao has revealed now will make even the head of the Shenyin Sect come and be tempted.

"I will visit you if I have the opportunity in the future. For now, let's explore inside first." Shi Xiao said calmly.

Master Wu looked embarrassed after hearing this. He almost forgot the purpose of his visit. However, his eyes couldn't help but look at Shi Xiao.

Wu Xiuxiu was still looking at Shi Xiao with shock on her face. She never expected that Shi Xiao's talent was so powerful.

Such geniuses are usually the direct disciples of the elders, but only a handful of them can reach the level of Shi Xiao. In comparison, he is the weakest in the team.

Liu Jin, Song Meng, Zhong Ling and Chen Yihan also looked at each other. Their eyes couldn't help but show shock. Now it seems that Shi Xiaozu can be regarded as a young and promising man.

At such a young age, their strength exceeds that of Zhong Ling and Chen Yihan. Although the talents of these two women cannot compare with Shi Xiao, they are already very powerful in the secular world, and they are very likely to become martial arts masters in the future.

But just like Shi Xiao and Ying Huo and Haoyue, this huge gap makes people unable to react for a while.

"Tch, what's so great about Shenyin Sect? Mr. Shi is already an honorary elder of Daoxu Palace." Li Chaoyuan muttered in a low voice.

This Master Wu used to be unhappy with the two of them, but now it's like he has changed his face in a Sichuan opera.

This made Li Chaoyuan very contemptuous, and Mr. Shenyinmen Shi did not hesitate to go. When the two went to Daoxu Palace, the master of Daoxu Palace, Master Ling Xiao, came to greet them personally.

Shi Xiao ignored everyone's surprised looks and continued to move forward.

It's just that the attitude of the people around him changed, and everyone began to admire Shi Xiao unknowingly.

But now everyone still needs to continue to explore the way forward, so they don't bother to ask Mr. Qin about Shi Xiao's identity. Master Wu calmed down and continued to move forward. The wind and snow around him were still very heavy.

This time everyone moved forward for several hundred meters, and the snow around them could already cover their ankles.

You can also see some man-made traces along the way. Someone must have been here before. Because this is one of the important roads into the Kunlun South Ridge, otherwise you can only climb over the cliff.

"Huh, let's go here first. Going forward is the real Kunlun South Ridge. We don't have enough equipment to move forward." Liu Jin reminded.

Master Wu couldn't help but look at Mr. Qin when he heard this. Mr. Qin nodded after seeing it.

Liu Jin has participated in searching for rare medicinal materials in dense forests and mountains before, and he is knowledgeable in this area. This is why Mr. Qin called him here.
