Qin Yunchuan flew very fast at first, and there were very few pedestrians on the official road at this time. After traveling for three to five miles, he did not find anyone. Unconscious of the sound of the sword in the air, Qin Yunchuan flew more than ten miles away in the blink of an eye.
Finally, Qin Yunchuan found two men in black robes in the woods on one side of the official road. At that moment, Ming Kong quickly slowed down and hung far behind the two of them to avoid being discovered by them.
The man carrying Shen Mengdie turned his head and looked deep into the woods, probably confirming his position. After observing carefully, he nodded to the other person and ducked into the woods.
Qin Yunchuan hid in the crown of a tall tree and watched the two people enter the woods, but did not immediately follow them into the dense forest. Instead, he waited for a moment to make sure that he had not been discovered by them, then jumped down from the tree crown, followed the place where the two entered, and disappeared into the forest.
Before entering, I used Mingkong to leave a simple pictographic mountain character on the tree trunk where I had just hid. The direction pointed by the top of the mountain was exactly where the man in black robe had just entered the woods.
This is a unique mark of Jiuhua Mountain. Whether it is the disciples of our sect or the disciples of other sects of Zhengdao who see it, they all know that it was left by the disciples of Jiuhua Mountain.
Along the way, Qin Yunchuan would leave the same mark every half mile or so to point out the direction for Mu Jingyu and others to follow, so that they would not lose track of him.
When you look at it from the outside, you don't think there's anything strange about this forest. After Qin Yunchuan actually entered, he discovered that there was a chilly atmosphere everywhere in this dense forest.
The footsteps stepped on the dry leaves, making a few slight clicking sounds. Dense branches and leaves blocked the sky, leaving only a few mottled shadows.
Qin Yunchuan raised his steps slightly, trying to avoid making too much noise to avoid being discovered by the two men in black robes not far away. Through the dense tree trunks, Qin Yunchuan wanted to find the figures of the two men in black robes. It's just that the time spent outside was a little too long, and now the trace of the two of them has been completely lost.
Qin Yunchuan muttered secretly, a little annoyed that he was too careful. At this moment, a few faint conversations could be heard diagonally ahead.
Qin Yunchuan immediately stopped and concentrated on carefully distinguishing a few words. It was discovered that the voice of one of them was the voice of the man in black robe who killed Liu Xie.
"Elder Gu Li, not far ahead is Zangfeng Youju. Let's walk another five or six miles and we'll almost be there."
Elder Nagu Li replied: "Guardian Feng, what's going on there... Are there any people guarding there?"
Elder Feng said: "Elder Gu Li, don't worry, I have investigated clearly... let's..."
While the two of them were talking, they were walking further and further apart. After Qin Yunchuan listened to a few words, he gradually couldn't distinguish what they said later.
"It turns out that those two men in black robes are Elder Gu Li and the other is Protector Feng!"
Only then did Qin Yunchuan know the names of the two men in black robes. From what they said, they should be taking Shen Mengdie to some kind of secluded retreat.
Qin Yunchuan thought for a moment, but did not think about the identities of Elder Guli and Protector Feng. As for the secluded residence they mentioned, I don’t even know where it is.
Qin Yunchuan originally wanted to follow the two of them to see where the hidden wind house was. However, his consistent intuition told him that this secluded residence was probably a dragon's pond and a tiger's den. If I follow him rashly, I'm afraid there will be some danger.
After thinking about it again and again, I decided to go back outside the woods first. After the other four people followed, they discussed and made a decision.
Just after Qin Yunchuan exited the woods, less than half a mile in front of him, two men in black robes quietly revealed themselves.
Elder Gu Li, who was carrying Shen Mengdie, said: "Guardian Feng, that boy left. Do you think he will come back?"
Elder Feng smiled confidently and said: "Don't worry, Elder Guli, we have kidnapped his sworn sister. According to Qin Yunchuan's character, he may not dare to follow him rashly. But... Mu Jingyu and Shi Dahong will not listen to Qin Yunchuan. If so, we will definitely catch up with you, so don’t worry.”
"Since you are so sure, I feel relieved. Let's rush to the Hidden Wind Retreat immediately. It is guarded by the spirits of the Demon Underworld Palace, and it is not easy to enter."
A breeze blew by, and the two black figures disappeared in the blink of an eye.
Qin Yunchuan returned from the original route, but not long after he arrived at the place where he had just left the mark. They happened to see Mu Jingyu and the four of them gathered around the tree where they were hiding, arguing about something.
"who!"
Qin Yunchuan had just walked out of the woods, and Zhou Yan had already noticed his appearance. He instantly held the long sword in his hand and looked warily at the place where he appeared.
"It's me." Qin Yunchuan shouted quickly.
"Brother Mu, did you follow them into the woods? Did you find anything? Where did the man in black robe take Xiaodie?" Mu Jingyu asked several questions in succession.
Qin Yunchuan replied: "After I chased them here, I found that they had taken Xiaodie into the woods. I followed them for four or five miles and heard their voices."
Shi Dahong asked anxiously: "What did you say?"
"I didn't dare to get too close, so what I heard was not very clear. I vaguely heard them saying that they were taking Xiaodie to a place called Zangfeng Youju."
Qin Yunchuan said this, turned to look at Su Yingying and Zhou Yan and asked, "Have you ever heard Master Chiyang and Master Lingyang mention this place?"
On the way back, Qin Yunchuan thought about it for a long time, but never remembered that there was such a number one place in Kyushu. That's why I asked Su Yingying and Zhou Yan to see if they had heard of this place.
The two women looked at each other, thought for a moment, and shook their heads together.
Shi Dahong suddenly said: "When I was on Tianjue Peak, I once heard Uncle Guo and Master Luo Qingcheng talk about it. The Yaoming Palace has built more than ten villas and caves in various parts of Jiuzhou, which are specially used to imprison the spirits and various sects in the palace. Disciples. Among them, there seems to be a villa called Youju. Maybe, the Hidden Wind Youju mentioned by the two men in black robes is this kind of place."
"Demon Underworld Palace?" Mu Jingyu repeated these three words in a low voice. This time he went out with Qin Yunchuan and others. One of the most important purposes was to find Bi Yun's whereabouts.
Zhou Yan said: "Sure enough, they are from Yaoming Palace! It seems that Uncle Songyang's guess is right. Yaoming Palace has been silent for so many years, and I am afraid that it will leave Kyushu again."
Su Yingying shook her head: "Senior Sister Zhou, we are still not sure whether those two men in black robes are the spirits of Yaoming Palace. We cannot confirm that they are the same as Yaoming Palace just because they are going to Zangfeng Retreat. What a weird spirit."
For some reason, Su Yingying vaguely felt that it was not that simple for these two men in black robes to suddenly appear in Kunshui City and take advantage of the chaos to kidnap Su Yingying.
Shi Dahong said: "We don't care whether he is from Yaoming Palace or not. Now that we know the exact whereabouts of Junior Sister Shen, it's better to catch up and rescue her quickly to avoid a long night of nightmares."
After Shi Dahong finished speaking, he wanted to follow the direction Qin Yunchuan said and enter the woods.
Qin Yunchuan grabbed him: "Junior Brother Shi, why are you still so reckless! Now that you know Xiaodie's whereabouts, are you still afraid that you can't rescue her?"
Zhou Yan also explained at the side: "Yunchuan is right. We are chasing after them closely. Isn't it just to find out who they are and why they want to kidnap Xiaodie?"
Shi Dahong's eyes widened angrily and said: "Then what? Let's just do nothing here and watch Junior Sister Shen fall into the hands of the monsters from the Demon Underworld Palace. Why don't we take care of her!"
Su Yingying said softly: "Junior Brother Shi, don't be anxious yet. I think there are a lot of fishy things about this matter. We should listen to Senior Brother Qin and Sister Zhou and not rush after us. First, go to the nearby towns and see if there is anyone like me. The elder martial uncle of Huashan, or the disciples of other sects. After gathering people, it is not too late to rescue Xiaodie."
Shi Dahong said angrily: "I know everything you said. But within a radius of dozens of miles, there are few decent towns, let alone the disciples of other sects. If they wait any longer, Junior Sister Shen will be killed by them. What if she's moved to another place? Where should we go to find her?"
Mu Jingyu agreed: "Senior Brother Shi is right, we can't wait any longer. I think it's better to sneak into that secluded house while they don't know we're catching up, and find a way to rescue Xiaodie first." We'll talk about it when we come out. If that doesn't work, we can also check out the situation there first. After gathering enough people, we can rush in and save people."
Ever since he knew that it was the hidden residence of Yaoming Palace, Mu Jingyu had a vague premonition in his heart. Maybe you can meet Bi Yun there! As soon as this feeling appeared, it quickly filled his mind and couldn't go away.
Su Yingying glanced at Mu Jingyu thoughtfully, as if she had read through his mind, and then said with a sigh: "What Jingyu said seems to be good. Senior Brother Qin, Sister Zhou, I think we should just listen to Jingyu." ?”
She knew some of the past events between Mu Jingyu and Bi Yun, but she knew very well that over the years, Mu Jingyu had been determined to fulfill Mo Yunshen's dying instructions and rescue Bi Yun from the Demon Underworld Palace.
Moreover, through so many years of observation and thinking, I also discovered that Mu Jingyu seemed to have an unusual feeling for Bi Yun. As a girl, I could vaguely guess what kind of feeling this was.
However, she couldn't hate it in her heart! I often think that maybe it’s because of Bi Yun that Mu Jingyu has been rejecting me openly or covertly.
Zhou Yan pulled Su Yingying fiercely and said urgently: "Yingying, how can you agree with what they said! Do you know..."
Su Yingying smiled and said: "Sister Zhou, I understand the worries of you and Brother Qin. But if we waste some time outside to gather people from various factions. Maybe, it will really be as thorough as Senior Brother Shi said. I lost track of Xiaodie."
Qin Yunchuan frowned and said, "But if we rashly sneak into Zangfeng Retreat, I'm afraid that if we fail to rescue Xiaodie, we will be in danger ourselves."
Shi Dahong said angrily: "Qin Yunchuan, it's in vain that you are still Shen Mengdie's sworn brother. Now that you have seen her kidnapped by the monsters from the Yaoming Palace, you have been looking forward and backward, worrying about your own safety! What kind of big brother do you think you are?"
Ever since Shen Mengdie was kidnapped by the men in black robes, Qin Yunchuan had been blocking him from pursuing him, and he had long been dissatisfied.
After screaming a few times, he strode into the forest regardless of Zhou Yan's obstruction.
"I, Shi Dahong, am not a timid person, and I will not let my fellow disciples be in danger! If you are afraid, just go and gather people, I can't wait any longer. If anyone wants to rescue me with me, Junior Sister Shen, let’s set off together.”
Mu Jingyu glanced at Qin Yunchuan and followed behind Shi Dahong: "Brother Shi, I'll go with you."
Looking at the two figures walking quickly into the dense forest, Qin Yunchuan and Zhou Yan looked at each other and sighed helplessly.
"Hey, you two, wait for us. Let's go see the hidden wind retreat together. There are many people and there are many people to take care of you."
After Zhou Yan shouted, he had no choice but to follow them into the dense forest with Qin Yunchuan and Su Yingying.
