Early morning hours.
One after another figures appeared in the courtyard of the inn.
In addition to the fifteen people in Tianji Sect, there was another middle-aged man. He is stout, with a slightly dark complexion and a short beard, and exudes unfathomable power.
Lai Mian, an expert who lives in seclusion overseas, has dealt with many immortal sects. This time he went to Tianwu Mountain to participate in the alliance and went with the fellow Taoists of Tianji Sect.
Ying Ling and E'an introduced Lai Mian to Pingyangzi, and called all the disciples to greet him. Then they left Cangbei City, stepped on their swords, rode the wind, and headed straight to the southwest.
Three days later.
Four Nascent Soul masters landed in a valley.
The twelve golden elixir disciples fell down and each found a place to rest.
Yu Ye found a low old tree and sat with his back against the trunk. This is a habit he developed in the arena and continues to this day. He took out two spiritual stones and put them into his palms, looked at the situation around him, exchanged glances with Zhan Kun who was not far away, and then closed their eyes to rest.
After long-distance flying with a sword, it is inevitable to be tired and sleepy. This is due to poor cultivation. On the other hand, Zhan Kun and others are much more relaxed. And Gui Yuanzi is also inconspicuous, but he is good at concealing himself in disguise.
However, the old cunning man was quite trusted by Ping Yangzi, and he got along well with several fellow disciples of Tianji Hall. It seemed that he fell in love with his status as a disciple of the Immortal Sect.
But he didn't know where the woman in red went. Gui Yuanzi was quite familiar with her and quite fearful of her.
While resting in the wild, my mind was restless.
At this moment, someone came over.
"Your name is Yu Ye?"
Yu Ye opened his eyes.
A stout man stood three feet away, it was Lai Mian, with a dark face and a cold look in his eyes.
On the hillside twenty feet away, E'an, Ying Ling and a group of disciples were still resting. It seemed that no one was paying attention to what was going on here. Only Zhan Kun and Wen Gui, who were sitting not far away, glanced up, their expressions inexplicable.
Yu Ye lifted up the hem of his clothes and started to stand up.
After all, he is a junior and cannot be rude in public.
But I heard Lai Mian say: "Junior, there is no need to be polite, just sit down and say a few words to me!"
Yu Ye had no choice but to dust his clothes and nodded silently.
Lai Mian's eyes flashed and he said: "Your surname is Lin, you are a cultivator of Jindan, and you wear a spirit ring on your hand. I want to know if you are from overseas, and if you raise a monster with two heads and four wings?"
Yu Ye couldn't help but waved his sleeves to cover himself, with a slightly flustered look on his face, and said: "This junior comes from a small fairy sect in Fufeng County..." He hesitated for a moment, then raised the spirit ring in his right hand and said: "This thing comes from Tianfu Gate once housed the thorn-eating mink, and the younger generation liked it, so they stayed..."
Since meeting Lai Mian, the other party did not look for trouble. Who would have thought that he would suddenly attack him on the way, and his questions would go straight to the point.
The Spirit Control Ring was his biggest flaw in the field.
But before he finished speaking, the surroundings suddenly became silent, and then an invisible restriction shrouded down, immediately confining the three-foot square area where he was.
At the same time, I suddenly heard Zhan Kun shouting: "Senior Lai, why did you hurt my fellow sect, three elders, please save people quickly——"
The disciples of Tianji Sect didn't know what was going on, so they gathered around him with a hula. Even Gui Yuanzi looked surprised and shouted: "Oh, isn't this bullying..."
Ping Yangzi even stepped forward and said: "Fellow Daoist Lai, stop——"
Although Ying Ling and E'an followed closely behind, they seemed much calmer.
Lai Mian did not give up, instead he was full of murderous intent and said in a deep voice: "Please forgive me, we really have no choice. My brother Lai Tai was killed, 100,000 spirit stones and Jie Ying Dan were robbed, and all my disciples were brutally killed. . Fortunately, those who escaped saw the murderer. It is said that the leader was a young man with a golden elixir cultivation level. He raised two four-winged monsters." As he spoke, he raised his finger and pointed to Yu Ye, and then said: "It happened that this person and the murderer met. The appearance and surname match, and he has a spirit ring on his hand. Today I would rather offend the Tianji Sect, but also find out his origin. And I don’t think you will allow a thief who kills innocent people to sneak into the Immortal Sect, otherwise there will be something wrong in the world. Public opinion!"
Zhan Kun said anxiously: "Senior, how can you unjustly accuse a good person without any evidence..."
Pingyangzi waved his hand and said angrily: "Fellow Daoist Lai, no matter what, you should have informed me in advance, where will you put us?"
"Brother Ping, calm down!"
Before Lai Mian could answer, Ying Ling spoke up: "Brother Lai, he is so eager for revenge, it's understandable!"
E'an also seemed to be dissatisfied, and then said: "Brother Lai, if you don't have real evidence, you framed my disciples, I'm afraid it will be difficult to explain today!"
He seemed to be blaming Lai Mian, but he also stopped Ping Yangzi.
But Pingyangzi still protected his disciple and said: "Fellow Taoist Lai, please bring out the personal and material evidence!"
"snort!"
Lai Mian snorted coldly and said: "The human evidence is far away in Fufeng County. And the physical evidence is in that boy's spirit ring. As long as he feeds the four-winged monster, he is undoubtedly the murderer of my clan brother!"
Pingyangzi and others couldn't get close, so they formed a circle around Shizhang. He nodded and said to Yu Ye: "Yu Ye, hand over your spirit ring. If not, no one can help you today!"
Yu Ye was still sitting under the tree, unable to move at all, like a trapped animal in a desperate situation, with a look of despair on his face. And he hesitated for a moment, maybe knowing that he was doomed, he slowly took off the spirit ring on his hand, and said with an aggrieved tone: "Elder E, you personally recruited me into the sect. I think you know best whether I am innocent. but."
E'an clasped his hands behind his back and remained silent.
Yu Ye said no more, took off the spirit ring and threw it out.
Lai Mian had been waiting for a long time and rolled up his ring with his sleeves rolled up. He looked at it carefully and couldn't help being slightly surprised.
Pingyangzi took the opportunity to walk to his side and stretched out his palm.
Lai Mian had no choice but to hand over the ring.
Ping Yangzi took the ring and threw it to Ying Ling. Ying Ling was also slightly startled and handed the ring to E'an again.
E'an tossed the ring in his hand.
Among the rings, not to mention the four-winged monster, there was not even a single hair on the bird or beast. In other words, Yu Ye did not lie. The reason why he wears this thing is just because he likes it.
"Brother Lai, because of our past friendship, I allowed you to question my disciples, but it ends here!"
E'an's voice was full of displeasure.
"this……"
Lai Mian looked a little embarrassed. Although he didn't want to give up, he was at a loss for words. In the eyes of others, the enemy he mentioned just happened to have the same surname as Yu Ye. If the entanglement continues, E'an and Pingyangzi will be offended.
"hehe!"
Ying Ling suddenly smiled and said: "Since Brother Lai has found out the whole story, we might as well let it go and don't hurt our harmony."
"That's all, just do what Brother Ying said!"
Lai Mian could only nod his head and raised his hand to remove the restriction.
It turned out to be a misunderstanding, and everyone who was still watching breathed a sigh of relief.
Yu Ye was finally able to move freely. He stood up angrily and said, "Elder E, give me back your spirit ring!"
E'an turned around and left, throwing the ring away.
Yu Ye put the ring on his hand. He no longer had the panic and despair before. Instead, he raised his thick eyebrows and said bitterly: "Senior Lai, if you dare to bully me like this next time, I will definitely fight to the death with you." After all, don’t say you didn’t predict what you said!”
It is human nature to be frightened, humiliated, and say a few harsh words.
But Lai Mian's face was gloomy, and a murderous intent flashed across his eyes.
He suddenly realized that his guess was correct.
He has found his enemy.
As if Yu Ye guessed his thoughts, he raised the iron ring on his left hand and said provocatively: "Senior Lai, you don't want to check my belongings, do you? Unless you kill me, don't even think about it! "
Immortal cultivators' belongings were not allowed to be inspected by others. This was his last attempt to sever Lai Mian in public.
Lai Mian cast a malicious look, turned around and walked away.
The storm disappeared and everyone dispersed.
"Oh, what a false alarm!"
Gui Yuanzi walked through the crowd and walked closer, took out a jar of wine and threw it on the ground, saying: "On behalf of Elder Pingyangzi and all of my colleagues, I am here to express my condolences. Please give me a drink of wine to calm down your shock!"
Before he finished speaking, he blinked again and said: "Where is the six-winged golden salamander that you raised? Even I was deceived by you!" As he spoke, he looked around, as if he wanted to After finding out the reason, he suddenly turned to look at Zhan Kun, stretched out his hand and twirled his beard and smiled.
After Gui Yuanzi left, Wen Gui also came over, with the same mysterious look, and said: "Senior Lai's words are definitely not groundless. If Junior Brother Yu gives me a Yingying Dan, I will help How about you hide this?"
This is taking advantage of the situation!
Yu Ye sat under the tree again, grabbed the wine jar, crushed the mud seal, raised it and drank a few gulps of wine. But he saw Wen Gui still standing two feet away, with a look of greed and expectation on his face. He couldn't help curling up the corner of his mouth, and spit out one word between his teeth: "Go away——"
Wen Gui's face froze and he left in embarrassment.
Cheng Shi also cupped his hands towards Yu Ye to express comfort.
Zhan Kun did not come forward to greet or get close to him. Instead, he sat on a stone, secretly breathed a sigh of relief, and said through a message: "Brother, we were in such danger just now. Fortunately, we took precautions..."
Yu Ye drank wine silently.
As mentioned, the two brothers had already discussed countermeasures outside Cangbei City. As expected, Lai Mian finally attacked on the way after enduring for three days. Fortunately, he had taken precautions, otherwise he would not have been able to escape this disaster today.
"Tsk, tsk, one hundred thousand spiritual stones, brother Yu, you are hiding your wealth! But I'm afraid Lai Mian won't give up, so you must be careful at all times..."
"Um!"
"Maybe Ai Yang and Xin Feizi can't survive the catastrophe. Elder E has an average friendship with him, but he has to be wary of Elder Ying. And since Lai Mian has taken action forcefully, you and I might as well strike first..."
"Follow the plan!"
"Leave this matter to me, don't worry. But Gui Yuanzi actually knows that you raise the golden newt, and you can't hide anything from him."
"After arriving at Tianwu Mountain, I was afraid of another trouble."
"You mean..."
"I can't tell clearly."
"Oops, damn Wen Gui, Lai Mian has set his sights on me. I will return the beast control ring to you when I turn around..."
Yu Ye seemed to be in a state of lingering fear, drinking alone.
Lai Mian was sitting with several Tianji Sect disciples. He did not breathe and breathe, but looked at Wen Gui and then Zhan Kun with a somewhat strange look on his face.
Yu Ye couldn't help the corners of his eyes twitching, and secretly spat.
If Wen Gui secretly acts evil, there will definitely be more variables...
Some people died, but not completely...
