Early May.
At dusk this day.
One after another figures fell from the sky.
It was the Tianji Sect and Qisha Sect led by E'an and Chi Li.
After everyone left Haojin City, they traveled for three days. As shown on the map, the boundary of Shenglong Ridge is hundreds of miles away.
A village appeared in the valley ahead, called Panlong Village. Although it only had a few dozen households and was extremely remote, it was a must-pass on the way to Shenglong Ridge.
"Stay here for the night and don't disturb the village."
When passing through various places, you must not disturb the common people. This is also a customary rule of the immortal way.
E'an, Chili, and the disciples of the two immortal sects each found a place to rest on the hillside outside the village.
Yu Ye sat under a fruit tree nearby, spreading his consciousness and looking in all directions.
The distant mountains are vast and the situation is unclear for a while. The villages several miles away could be seen in full view, but there was no trace of the immortal cultivators.
Perhaps monks from all over the country have gone to Shenglong Ridge.
Yu Ye took out a picture slip and looked at it.
In the map, Shenglong Ridge is just a place name, referring to a lofty mountain range with a radius of thousands of miles, but the specific situation is still unknown.
Yu Ye put away the picture slip.
Zhan Kun and Cheng Shi were not far away from him; Wen Gui was chatting and laughing with Ke Zhao and others; Chi Li was sitting on the grass with his disciples more than ten feet away, telling the glorious past of the Seven Kills Demon Sect. , and various legends about Jiuyou Valley.
But E'an left alone. He was seen walking around the hillside and running towards a bamboo forest.
Yu Ye cast a suspicious glance, shook his head, took out the spirit stone and pressed it into his palm, then calmed down his mind and closed his eyes to rest.
He didn't bother to think about it.
There were more than 20 people in the group, and only Zhan Kun was his brother. Cheng Shi would not harm him, but Chili, Wen Gui, and other Xianmen disciples either had hidden evil intentions, or it was difficult to distinguish between good and evil. Even the elder E'an has become sneaky and mysterious.
Instead of being suspicious, you might as well cheer up and face the upcoming trip to Shenglong Ridge.
The disciples of the Tianji Sect back then were good at twisting and turning. After snatching the artifact, they fled to various places and eventually fled overseas. As for the true and false reasons, I wonder if anyone besides Birch, Qiu Bo and others knows the truth, such as Ying Ling, or the sect leader Tian Juezi...
"Yu Ye——"
At this moment, a voice suddenly sounded in my ears.
E'an?
I didn’t see him, I just heard his voice——
"Come here, I have something to ask you!"
Yu Ye opened his eyes and stood up slowly.
Chi Li, Wen Gui, Zhan Kun, Cheng Shi and others looked at him at the same time.
"Well, Elder E asked me to question him!"
Yuye said to himself.
He was dispelling the suspicions of Chi Li and Wen Gui, and also explaining his whereabouts to Zhan Kun.
Past the hillside, a dirt road leads to the village. Follow the dirt road and turn right, and a large bamboo forest, trees and rocks appear a hundred feet away.
At this time, twilight fell, everything was dark, a few dogs barked in the distance, and then the chirping of birds came on the wind, making the remote villages and silent mountains suddenly feel a bit more mysterious.
Yu Ye walked slowly with his hands behind his back.
In a short while, the bamboo forest will be in front of you.
Then I heard a message from E'an: "Don't worry, come here -"
There is a rule in the world: don't enter the woods. It means that people who walk in the rivers and lakes must avoid taking risks to avoid being ambushed or plotted against.
And if a Nascent Soul elder were to deal with a junior Jin Dan, he wouldn’t need to go to such trouble, right?
Yu Ye hesitated for a moment, glanced back, quietly took out a sword talisman and clasped it in his hand, then slowly walked forward along the path in the forest.
The mountains and forests obscured my view of my companions in the distance.
The path in the forest gradually became lower and lower, and after more than ten feet, we were already in a valley surrounded by jungle.
But he saw E'an standing in the valley of the mountain, reaching out to stroke his beard, with an unclear expression and speaking in a low voice: "Well, someone wants to see you -
—"
At this moment, a figure appeared not far away.
Yu Ye stopped suddenly, turned around and walked away.
"boom--"
The light flickered and restrictions shrouded it all around.
Yu Yean spat, and was about to use his sword talisman to break out of the encirclement.
Suddenly I heard E'an say again: "Brother Lai, you owe me a magic pill..."
Immediately afterwards, a figure passed by and faintly dropped a sentence——
"The grudge between you and Buyeo Island has spread far and wide, and it should be settled. Otherwise, I can't help you..."
It was E'an, who turned around and disappeared without a trace in the blink of an eye.
At the same time, to his surprise, familiar and terrifying words sounded out——
"Yu Ye, you have wings and can't escape!"
Yu Ye slowly turned around and took out a Nascent Soul Sword Talisman again. Then he raised his eyebrows and looked at the person who made the sound.
His fight with Chi Li had already consumed one sword talisman. At this time, he took out the last two Nascent Soul Sword Talisman, which was obviously a desperate move.
Five feet away, there was a middle-aged man standing. His face was dark, his eyes were cold, and his whole body exuded a fierce murderous aura. He was none other than his enemy, Lai Mian!
That's all, in the end it was E'an who harmed him. Although the elder did not take action, he led him into a trap and used a high-sounding excuse to help him settle a grudge.
"Let's do it——"
Yu Ye's eyebrows were raised, looking fearless.
And his sword talisman, golden salamander, star arrow, as well as his transformation technique and Seven Kills Sword Qi are all ready to go.
The matter has come to this, and it is useless to say more.
Although he only has the cultivation level of Jindan, he has to fight hard today.
He deserves his bad luck if he dies. If he saves his life, he will no longer have to fear the powerful enemies of the Nascent Soul. From now on, he can leap across the sea and fly high in the sky!
"snort!"
Lai Mian snorted coldly, with blazing murderous intent in his eyes, and gritted his teeth and said: "My two-hundred-year foundation of Fuyu Island has been destroyed in one day, and countless spiritual stones and elixirs have been looted by you. I..." He His expression was twisted and struggling, and he looked furious, but suddenly his face was full of bitterness, and he said: "I used E'an's hand to lead you here because I had no choice. The grudges on Buyeo Island are over. Please save me, fellow Taoist - —"
He actually raised his hands and bowed.
Yu Ye was unmoved, still on guard.
He was helpless when he was plotted by E'an. After all, the other party was an elder of his sect and it would be effortless to harm him. He had long been aware of this and had already prepared for the worst.
But Lai Mian had succeeded in his trick, but he was still pretending. If he believed even half of his lies, he would have lived in the wilderness for eighty years in vain.
Who would have thought that Lai Mian said again with a desperate look——
"I've been hit by the Black Thread Soul Binding Technique. If I can't find Guiyuan, my life will be in danger..."
Returning to Yuan means returning to Yuanzi. How could he know about Gui Yuanzi's existence? There is also the black hair binding the soul, what kind of magical power is it?
"Wait a minute——"
Yu Ye couldn't help but interrupt: "Who is the Guiyuan you are talking about?"
"Gui Yuan, also known as Gui Yuanzi, is the person that the senior in red is looking for. It is said that the grudge between the two of her has lasted for thousands of years. Xu couldn't find her for a long time. She suddenly had a whim and guessed that you two were inseparable. She found you where Ye, she found Guiyuan. But it was not appropriate for her to show her face, so she ordered me to follow you, but she was afraid that I would disobey her, so she used the black silk soul-binding technique for me, and tried to seize the soul at any time..."
When Lai Mian said this, his face twitched and his expression was frightened, obviously because of lingering fear.
However, both the senior in red and Gui Yuanzi made no mistakes.
Did he really come under orders?
Yu Ye still didn't dare to be careless and asked suspiciously: "Did you and Elder E'an talk about this?"
Just ask E'an and others to find out Gui Yuanzi's whereabouts, but it takes such a long time, which is obviously against common sense.
"Alas, senior in red has ordered that if I dare to reveal even a word about her and Guiyuan, I will definitely die!"
"How are you doing?"
"Follow you
, until Guiyuan is found! "
"Follow me?"
"Not only that, but I also want to protect you. I thought that I, Master Nascent Soul, had become a follower of a junior and my sworn enemy. But it was all because of you. Otherwise, why would the senior in red have been chasing me for two months..."
Lai Mian's face turned purple with anger, and he still hated himself.
Yu Ye was stunned and speechless.
He has risked his life and wants to fight to the death. However, he was waiting for it, but his strength suddenly failed, making him unexpected and caught off guard.
However, what Lai Mian said involved many secrets, so he probably wasn't lying.
And this enemy who gave him a lot of headaches will follow him from now on and protect him at all times?
The senior in red really had a sudden idea. But her weird temperament and unconventional behavior are far beyond imagination!
"Senior in red, where is she?"
"It's everywhere, but you don't know it."
"After you find Gui Yuanzi, will you meet me in life and death?"
"Let's talk about tomorrow's matters."
"How do you explain it to E'an?"
"If he wants the Divine Transformation Pill, he must agree to my request."
"Do you have the magic pill?"
"No."
"You'd better be honest, let's go——"
It is better to have a follower than a mortal enemy.
Yu Ye thought for a moment and said: "Since you are following me, I am not afraid of falling out in the future, but I have to set some rules and regulations..."
…
Night falls.
E'an has returned to the hillside.
While he was resting, he couldn't help but look at the bamboo forest.
Previously, he received a letter from his master, ordering him to take his disciples to Shenglong Ridge and Luo Lei Valley, and join hands with Ying Ling and Ping Yangzi to find the whereabouts of the artifact. When he arrived here, he unexpectedly learned that Lai Mian had been waiting at Panlong Village for a long time. After hesitating for a long time, the two parties finally reached an agreement.
He helped Lai Mian take revenge, and the reward he received was Yu Ye's relics and a precious God Transformation Pill.
But half an hour passed, and there was no movement in the bamboo forest.
Could it be that after Lai Mian succeeded, he left without saying goodbye?
At this moment, the bamboo forest in the distance suddenly "clattered", and then two people walked out of it, one was Yu Ye and the other was Lai Mian. But one is holding his head high and the other is downcast?
E'an was shocked.
And there are many surprises.
Chi Li, Wen Gui, and even Zhan Kun, Cheng Shi and others did not care about breathing and breathing, and all looked at them in surprise.
Yu Ye put his hands behind his back, held his head high and his chest high, with a free and easy expression, which was better than strolling in the courtyard.
Lai Mian, some people know him, and some people have met him for the first time, but his identity as a Yuanying master is unmistakable. But he walked back angrily, walking cautiously, looking very helpless and fearful.
In an instant, the two of them were close.
E'an couldn't help but ask: "Brother Lai..."
Lai Mian's face was gloomy, and he responded indifferently: "Yu Ye and I have shaken hands and made peace. In order to make up for the previous mistakes, I was invited to go with him, and I hope that Brother E will fulfill it. The agreement between Brother Lai and I will be decided in the future. Reconsideration!"
"Oh, just rely on what brother said!"
Although E'an was confused and unbearable, he still nodded in agreement.
Yu Ye has jumped up the hillside, waving his big sleeves, raising his hand with a high-spirited gesture, and motioning to Chi Li: "Fellow Taoist Lai Mian, let me introduce you to one or two——"
Chi Li was also a little confused, but he didn't want to be rude, so he had to stand up to greet him and said with a smile: "Brother Lai, I have long admired my name..."
But I heard Yu Ye say: "This man's name is Chi Li, he claims to be the master of the Demon Sect, he goes around and deceives, and he has harmed me many times. If he is malicious again, I will kill him without mercy!"
Lai Mian actually cupped his hands, seemingly obeying his words.
Chi Li couldn't help but his expression changed.
Also shocked were Wen Gui, Zhan Kun, Cheng Shi, Ke Zhao and others...
