Early morning forest.
The light white mist is as misty as smoke, and the moist air is filled with the smell of fresh vegetation.
A group of people from the Su family and the He family looked at an ancient tree with a hollow interior in the forest with different expressions.
"That tree is not too thick, and the space in the tree hole is limited. Wouldn't it be crowded with two people together?"
Su Meng had a confused look on her face. She kept her innocent look and asked her father in a low voice: "What do you think?"
Su Yuntian coughed softly, glared at her, and scolded: "Don't worry about so much!"
not far away.
He Rong leaned against a tree, looking deeply at the tree hole where Pang Jian and Ning Yao were.
The tree hole was obviously a hidden hiding spot. After Ning Yao and Pang Jian entered, it was Ning Yao who closed the hidden "door".
He Rong naturally looked unhappy when he thought of the two people crowded together inside. After all, He Ziren was his nephew.
The marriage contract between He Ziren and Ning Yao was also the result of the consideration between the two families. In his opinion, although Ning Yao and his nephew were not married, they still had a close relationship.
Ning Yao shouldn't avoid suspicion at all, and shouldn't be so close to a young hunter.
Even if the two of them want to talk, they can stay away from them or choose an open and remote place. There is no need to squeeze into a small tree hole.
"Ziren is dead. He and Ning Yatou are not married. Don't think too much about it."
Su Yuntian saw his dissatisfaction and reluctantly advised: "Also, Brother Yuanshan also died in the hands of the dark ghost."
"The dark ghost appears in the Cenji Mountains and will definitely attack people from our seven major families. I can only say that Ziren is unlucky."
"Next, we should think about how we are going to survive."
After learning about the existence of the dark ghost, Su Yuntian was worried about the danger of this trip, because his daughter Su Meng was also there.
His cultivation talent is average.
Even if he worked hard all his life and could at most reach the realm of marrow cleansing, the Su family, who was stationed in the fourth realm like his father, would never be able to live in the upper realm.
Su Meng is different.
People from the Lieyang Sect from the third realm carefully tested Su Meng's talent and confirmed that Su Meng had extraordinary potential in cultivation.
Facts have proved that this is indeed the case. Su Meng, at a young age, has reached the state of Tongmai just like him.
The Lieyang Sect made it clear that when Su Meng was about to enter the marrow cleansing realm, people from the Lieyang Sect would pick her up and help her cut her bones and wash her marrow.
After that, Su Meng will be an official disciple of Lieyang Sect.
This time, Su Yuntian couldn't bear Su Meng's begging, so he took her to explore the Serenity Mountains.
Unexpectedly, the dark ghosts also came after hearing the news, and went to attack and kill people from the seven major families in dangerous places in the mountains.
"That's not right! Ning Yao seems to know that he is in the tree hole. She asked us to stop here. On the way, when we passed the body of the gray eagle, she took a few more glances."
He Rong, who has always been cautious and observant, said in a low voice with a stern face: "I suspect that the gray eagle was raised by her in captivity!"
Su Yuntian's expression changed, he recalled it carefully, and felt something strange.
Ning Yao took the lead along the way, and the final resting place happened to be the place where Pang Jian showed up. It was such a coincidence.
"You and I both know that the Ning family is not good at taming spiritual pets, and I haven't heard that she has an eagle."
Su Yuntian said softly.
He Rong frowned: "Anyway, something is wrong with her."
…
In the tree hole.
Pang Jian took a deep breath and felt the outline of Ning Yao's chest opposite him in the narrow space.
He had never been in such close contact with a woman of his own age. Hearing Ning Yao's sincere apology, he was a little confused for a moment.
What he was thinking about was... Ning Yao, who had survived the disaster, had suddenly changed her mind after escaping Hong Tai's attack.
Looking at Ning Yao's beautiful face and the sincere expression on her face, he frowned and remained silent.
He didn't know why Ning Yao's attitude changed so much, but he thought about the dangers of Blackwater Pool, and thought that the two places he would go to later would not be easier than Blackwater Pool.
The future is uncertain, and dark ghosts are everywhere, making it difficult for him to fight alone with his own strength.
If Ning Yao, as well as the Su and He families, travel with him, their risk of death can be greatly reduced.
"Ning Yao" narrowed her eyes slightly and said with a half-smile: "When you breathe hard, you always bump into me. Did you... do it on purpose?"
Pang Jian sighed after hearing this, pressed his back against the tree wall, and said, "The space is too cramped, you should get out."
"Ning Yao" smiled and lowered her head, her bright eyes fixed on the protruding object on Pang Jian's chest.
It was the bronze medal in the shape of a bronze door that first sucked a drop of phoenix marrow, and then swallowed up the bloody phoenix bird that was transformed from the essence and blood of the heavenly phoenix divine guard.
She just clearly felt the bronze medal under Pang Jian's clothes, but didn't notice any other abnormalities.
When the limbs touched before, the bronze medal had no spiritual power or spiritual consciousness surrounding it.
"Weird artifact."
With a clear goal, the reason why she followed Pang Jian into the tree hole and deliberately got so close was to pretend to touch the mysterious bronze medal accidentally and to find out the mystery and origin of the object.
She gained nothing from the first contact and was a little depressed.
While she was meditating, she heard Pang Jian's slightly heavy breathing, so she moved her eyes away from Pang Jian's chest and raised her head slightly to look.
He saw Pang Jian awkwardly suppressing the urge to take a deep breath, his whole body looking stiff and weird.
She couldn't help but be speechless
Under the Black Water Pond, the snake-riding boy who killed all her informants was ruthless and ruthless in his attacks, leaving no room for error.
Jinyang and two dark ghost experts in the Tongmai Realm were killed one by one by the young man in front of him, leaving no one alive.
Why now?
Her exquisite mind was spinning, and she regretted hypocritically: "Under the pool, I was imprisoned by that silver net. When I saw you suddenly showing up and running towards me, you don't know how much I am expecting and happy."
"I thought you were here to save me. What I thought at the time was that if you saved my life, I would be willing to sacrifice myself..."
She did not say the four words "I pledge myself to you" and stopped abruptly at the right time.
She lowered her head, her white neck behind her ears flushed, and she looked extremely shy.
She said softly: "Pang Jian, please allow me to re-invite you to be my guide in the Silent Mountains. I will treat you well this time."
After saying this, she took out the cloth bag abandoned by Pang Jian, placed it in the tree hole and left quietly.
Blushing with embarrassment, she left enough time and space for Pang Jian to think about it.
In the distance, Su Yuntian, Su Meng, He Rong, and a group of servants loyal to both families looked at the always aloof eldest lady of the Ning family. She didn't know what she said to the young hunter, and suddenly stepped out with a shy look on her face. tree hole.
"Ziren's body is still cold! She, she!"
He Rong stamped his feet and yelled angrily in a low voice.
Su Yuntian and his daughter also looked stunned.
"I heard that Sister Ning has always opposed her marriage to Brother Ziren. Could it be that her real crush is the young man named Pang Jian?"
In Su Meng's mind, there were many love stories about young ladies from aristocratic families falling in love with common people's youths, with longing and longing in her eyes.
"This is what love should be like! From now on, I want to be like Sister Ning and not be bound by the marriage contract specified by the family!"
She clenched her fists, raised her hands, and swung down hard, as if she was swearing a bloody oath.
"Boom!"
Su Yuntian knocked on her forehead, and when she complained of pain, he said angrily: "Stop reading miscellaneous books!"
…
"It's not your body, why do you want to deliberately ruin it?"
Ning Yao, who was detained in her own sea of consciousness, looked at the beautiful bright red figure in the dark void and said angrily: "If you want to plot against him, can you just twist off the bronze medal and take it away?"
In the empty sea of consciousness, Luo Hongyan was swaying in a luxurious bright red dress, creating waves in the space.
In this empty space where the spirit body can fully display its mysteries, she is so beautiful that her every smile seems to be able to infect the male gods.
It's a pity that only Ning Yao can see it.
She sneered and said charmingly: "Little girl, you know nothing."
Ning Yao was silent.
"You think I'm ruining your body?"
Luo Hongyan pursed her lips, her red lips like fire, and chuckled: "Then you don't know what real waste is."
"If I feel necessary, I will take off my clothes and stick to him naked, as long as I can figure out the secret of the bronze medal."
"Anyway, this body isn't mine, so why should I care?"
She smiled unscrupulously in this empty space.
"You just want to take away the body, I'll forget it!"
Ning Yao shouted desperately.
She could feel that this witch who had taken over her body could really do such a thing.
When she thought of the scene described by the witch, she felt even worse than killing her.
"Take your body?"
Luo Hongyan shook her head and said disdainfully: "Are you worthy of letting me seize your body?"
"Do you know the difference between possession and body seizing? To possess, I only need to keep your soul, and I can act with your body. But to seize the body, I need to refine your soul and accept you. A lifetime of memories and experiences.”
"Seizing the body means that I will truly possess your body and use your body to move around in the world."
"Little girl, you overestimate your abilities. How can I appreciate your talent in cultivation?"
"You are not worthy of being my target. I won't pay such a high price because of you."
A few cold words ridiculed Ning Yao to the dust. Seeing that Ning Yao's heart was filled with despair, she said with satisfaction: "I will allow you to watch. You will see how I, Luo Hongyan, can achieve this with your Ning Yao body." Everything I wanted."
Also at this time.
Pang Jian suddenly stepped out of the tree hole, raised the bag containing broken silver, and raised it towards Ning Yao: "I accept your bag of broken silver."
"Ning Yao" smiled uncontrollably, looked flattered, and cheered: "Really? That's great!"
The sea of consciousness is empty and nowhere.
Luo Hongyan, whose appearance had brought disaster to the country and the people, looked at the dark place and Ning Yao's soul, which was as light as smoke, and said:
"Next, I will show you how I gained his trust step by step, making him open up to me and even be willing to go through fire and water for me."
Ning Yao asked with endless sadness: "Are you using my body to exchange for his trust?"
"If it is really necessary, I will do it without hesitation." Luo Hongyan nodded slightly and continued to attack with a smile: "To me, your body is just my tool. If I can exchange it for him Of course, I will hand over your trust."
Ning Yao's soul trembled violently.
