Before the cliff.
As the light curtain slowly fell, Qingchen's figure flew out from the light shield and landed on the ground dozens of feet away.
His face was extremely pale and his hands were trembling, although the most important thing for a swordsman was to hold the sword tightly.
However, at this time, Qingchen had to insert the long sword into the ground with his backhand, press his hands on the hilt, and transfer part of his body weight to the sword, in order to keep his swaying body from falling.
Obviously, he failed!
He was also seriously injured. Although he tried his best to hide it, everyone present could clearly see the trace of blood spilling from the corner of his mouth.
"What a powerful formation! It seems there is still a huge gap between us. I lost!"
Yun Ling smiled calmly upon hearing this.
"You are considered extraordinary for being able to fight with me so many times under the suppression of my magic circle!"
"If you lose, you lose. Since we are fighting to the death, my failure naturally means that I have to pay the price for it!"
Although Qingchen has admitted defeat, he is still calm and composed, even if he knows that he will lose his life because of this, he is not afraid!
But when he turned around with difficulty and glanced at the temple guards who came with him, he spoke to Yunling again.
"Guards of the temple have no fear of life or death. I, Qingchen, have been defeated today, and I am willing to be killed at my neck, but please let them go!"
After speaking, Qingchen forced himself to straighten his waist, cupped his hands and saluted Yunling slowly.
The many guards in the temple behind him wanted to step forward with indignant expressions, but Qingchen suddenly raised his arms to signal them not to take a step forward!
Seeing that the leader was resolute, everyone naturally could not disobey his orders, so they could only stand there with angry expressions on their faces.
Before Yun Ling could speak, he heard a joking voice coming from behind him.
"Haha, this is not how you should be begging for help!"
The person who came was none other than Ren Tong. He appeared beside Yun Ling with a proud look on his face and nodded to him, which naturally meant that the matter had been settled!
Then, he turned his gaze to Qingchen in front of him and continued.
"Lord Commander, in the past you were always on top. I wonder if you can let me feel the feeling of standing on top today?"
When Ren Tong finished saying this, he deliberately cast his gaze at Qingchen's feet.
Qingchen naturally understood what he meant, but he ignored Ren Tong's provocation and turned his gaze to Yunling.
"You shouldn't stand with such a person, because he doesn't deserve it!"
Ren Tong immediately said angrily after hearing Qingchen's words.
"Your life is already in my hands. If I want to kill you, it would be easier than squeezing an ant to death. Why do you dare to talk nonsense here!"
Seeing Ren Tong's desperate look, Qingchen suddenly said coldly.
"I'm afraid it's not you who has the final say in whose hands my life is. Besides, have you forgotten that just now you were as timid as a mouse, but now you have the courage to challenge me!"
Ren Tong's face turned livid because of Qingchen's insults, and he said in a deep voice.
"Since you want to die so much, then I will make it happen for you!"
But Qingchen heard the words and replied calmly.
"You can come and give it a try!"
When Ren Tong heard Qingchen's words, he was suddenly surprised and narrowed his eyes slightly and smiled.
"You are really cunning, but I won't be fooled by you!"
Then, he turned to Yun Ling beside him and said.
"Why haven't you killed him yet?"
Yunling had been standing by and watching the conversation between Ren Tong and Qingchen. He neither intervened nor planned to take action, because he had been weighing the pros and cons from the beginning.
If he really killed Qingchen with his own hands today, the temple would undoubtedly treat the Yun family as its mortal enemy.
This was obviously what Yunling didn't want to see, but he also couldn't resist Ren Tong's wishes too much, because that would be tantamount to violating Wei Yu's wishes.
However, he knew one thing very well, that is, Ren Tong was not Wei Yu after all, so of course he did not have to obey Ren Tong in everything.
Then, Yun Ling replied with a smile.
"We were ordered to stop them from taking things back to the East Wasteland. Now that the matter has been done, what does it matter whether we kill him or not?"
Ren Tong's face became a little ugly when he heard this, and he said with some displeasure.
"Are you going to let him humiliate me like this?"
"Haha, I have severely injured his soul sea. He should not be able to recover in the short term. It is normal to feel angry at this time and speak excessively.
However, after all, he is the leader of the temple and a close confidant of Her Highness the Queen. If he dies in our hands today, I am afraid that the Queen will be furious.
And if she does anything impulsive because of this, it might ruin Master Wei Yu's plan. In that case, it will be difficult for us to explain, what do you think? "
Yun Ling always mentions Wei Yu in his words. This is also to let Ren Tong know that Wei Yu's plans cannot be disrupted by some insignificant things now, otherwise none of them can afford it.
When Ren Tong heard this, he understood in his heart that Yunling clearly did not want to form a deadly feud with the temple because of this, but there was one thing he said that was right.
That is, if he really kills Qingchen today, with Her Highness Nujun's temper, she will definitely not let him go, not to mention whether this will affect the master's plan.
Based on Nujun's unpredictable cultivation strength, even the master may not be able to stop her from taking his life to avenge Qingchen!
Moreover, at this moment, he still has not forgotten that there is a master hiding in the dark in this forest, who has been spying on their every move. Although he has not shown up yet, this does not mean that if he wants to attack Qingchen If you take action, that person will still choose to remain indifferent!
To take a step back, their mission of ambushing here today has been completed, and there is no need to add more details. Ren Tong is the person who understands Wei Yu's temper best.
He knew that the master's plan was now at its most critical moment, and he would not allow any accidents to occur at this time.
Therefore, Ren Tongqiang suppressed the anger in his heart and said with a cold snort.
"If that's the case, then there's no need for me to be acquainted with you!"
Then, he turned to Yun Ling and said.
"We have successfully completed what the master told us, and we will go back and resume our lives now!"
Hearing this, Yun Ling immediately smiled.
"So good!"
Qingchen on the side also realized that the guard holding the brocade box might have been killed, and he had no intention of getting entangled with Ren Tong and the others.
What's more, his current situation is also very bad. Although he has tried his best to suppress the injuries in his body, the chaos in the soul sea cannot be calmed down.
It seemed that his injury was indeed serious, so Qingchen didn't say anything more, he just slowly sat down cross-legged and took a breath.
And the guards behind him also hurriedly stepped forward and surrounded him to help him protect him!
...
Ren Tong and Yun Ling's people on the cliff had already left, but Nangong Yun was not clear about Nangong Yun on the back of the rock wall.
Because for the sake of safety, he had already landed several hundred feet below the rock wall, so that even if Yunling went down to explore before reaching the cliff, he would not be able to sense their presence.
After Nangong Yun stayed on the rock wall for a long time, and after making sure that no one was coming to explore again, he gradually returned to a hidden place in the forest along the original path.
He gently placed the seriously injured and dying guard on his back on the grass, stretched out his palm and pressed it on his chest, sending some mysterious energy into his body to help him temporarily regain his consciousness. .
After a while, the guard slowly woke up. When he saw the young man in front of him, a happy smile appeared on his face.
Nangong Yun said immediately after seeing this.
"Your injuries are too serious. Don't move yet. I'm trying my best to help you recover."
The guard lying on the ground shook his head slightly and said with difficulty.
"Thank you for your kindness, young hero, but please don't worry any more, young hero. I can feel that three fatal wounds on my body have cut off my lifeline. I'm afraid I'm about to die!"
Of course, Nangong Yun had discovered this problem a long time ago, but he just wanted to do his best to treat it. As the saying goes, do your best and obey fate, so that he could at least feel better.
However, the guard with weak breath continued to speak.
"Although I don't know who you are, young hero, but the fact that you can take such a big risk to save me means that you are not on the same side as them. I ask young hero to do something for me in the name of the guard of the Eastern Wasteland Temple. I hope the young hero will definitely promise me."
Nangong Yun immediately nodded and replied after hearing this.
"Just say it, I will definitely do it for you!"
Then, the Ming guard lowered his head slightly, lowered his gaze on his chest, and said to Nangong Yun.
"I have a token in my arms. Please help me take it to the Eastern Wasteland Temple and give it to Her Highness the Queen."
Nangong Yun then took out a blood-stained metal token from his arms. This token was engraved with a green dragon pattern, and was completely green and natural.
After Nangong Yun got the token, he only inquired for a moment, and then turned around to ask him. However, at this moment, the guard lying on the ground had lost his life, and there was no longer any life in the sea of souls. Any breath fluctuations.
Nangong Yun has tried his best, and he also knows that this guard cannot hold on for long, but he is still a little confused.
However, now that the person is dead, the brocade box has been destroyed in the fight with Ren Tong just now, and he originally thought that this guard could at least solve the doubts in his heart.
However, he was not able to insist on telling everything.
Nangong Yun looked at the metal token in his hand. He felt that all the problems might be in this token. However, when he naturally released his soul power to explore the token, he was surprised to find that, It turns out that there is a mystery hidden in this token.
However, since there seemed to be some kind of restriction or spell on the token, Nangong Yun couldn't open it even if he wanted to.
However, when he knew that this token was more than just a token, he was able to explain everything these guards had done before.
Immediately, Nangong Yun couldn't help but turn his head and look at the lifeless guard lying on the ground. At this moment, he gradually developed a trace of respect for him in his heart.
He and his companions all lost their lives for their faith. Nangong Yun didn't know whether to agree or deny this approach!
In his opinion, the meaning of life should be greater than other things.
Although Nangong Yun himself sometimes risks his life for some things, he still regards life as very important, whether it is his own or someone else's.
Because life is the foundation that carries everything. Once life is lost, everything will no longer be related to him. At the same time, of course he will no longer be able to influence everything that will happen in the future in the trajectory of life. Perhaps this is the only way It is the meaning of life.
Nangong Yun put away his thoughts and calmed down.
His top priority was to rush back to the temple as soon as possible to discuss the next response with the queen. Of course, before leaving, he still found a suitable place to bury the body on the ground.
