Liangcheng East Gate
Daofu
In a quiet bamboo forest, Wu Daoda closed his eyes tightly, holding his breath and sensing the vitality around him.
Suddenly, a breeze began to pick up, and the bamboo leaves on the ground rolled with the wind. The dense green bamboo around them shook violently, and the rustling sound of bamboo branches colliding with each other was heard.
Wu Dao's big ear moved slightly, trying to identify the exact position of the bamboo leaves based on the sound. After a while, the breeze dispersed, and a few bamboo leaves swayed and fell.
Wu Daoda suddenly opened his eyes and flew up with the knife in his right hand. After a few blows, he cut off all the bamboo leaves floating in the air.
When he slowly put the long knife into the scabbard, raised his feet and walked away, the moment the soles of his feet landed on the ground, there were several clicks behind him, and the bamboo tips fell without warning.
Outside the bamboo forest, a Daofu disciple looked into the dark depths of the bamboo forest with a slightly anxious expression.
"Are you waiting for me?"
Wu Daoda's voice came from the bamboo forest. The Daofu disciple stood on tiptoes and looked towards the huge bamboo forest, looking for Wu Daoda's figure.
Not long after, Wu Daoda quietly walked out of the bamboo forest, but the Daofu disciple still squatted down and observed the unusually calm bamboo forest.
Wu Daoda crossed his arms in front of his chest, raised his head and said proudly: "Stop looking for me. If you have anything to say, tell me quickly."
"Commander Wu, the elders have summoned you to the main hall." The disciple lowered his head and whispered.
Liangcheng West Gate
Jiange
In a beautiful pavilion in the middle of the lake, a group of people were sitting around a stone table, holding wine cups and celebrating. The leader was Xian Qingyun, who was dressed in white.
At this moment, his left arm was holding a woman with scantily clad clothes and a voluptuous figure, and his right arm was holding a glass of wine. He was still rejoicing over killing the big demon and drinking and having fun all day long.
The elder of Jiange had reminded him several times not to indulge in drinking and sex. If this continued, the enterprising spirit in his heart would be exhausted.
But Xian Qingyun always promised, turned around and forgot about it, and continued to live his happy and carefree life in the company of wine and sex.
After trying to persuade him to no avail, several elders of Jiange gave up on him, but they did not expel him from Jiange. After all, he was a disciple who had made outstanding contributions to Jiange.
"Come on, come on, drink, hahahaha." Xian Qingyun raised the wine cup high and laughed loudly.
A man wearing an array-patterned cloak praised: "Brother Qingyun killed the big demon with one sword. He is really a hero."
Xian Qingyun pushed the woman in his arms away, staggered and leaned against the stone pillar, barely supporting his body, and said arrogantly: "That's it! That's it!"
"I heard that the master of the Ghost Sect will open the ruins of the deserted sand in the next few days. Have you ever heard about it?" said a white-faced boy.
"I've heard of it."
"Xuan Yi has now been driven out of the Dao Mansion, Xiao Yuying has been beaten and disabled, Qi Long and those from the Spirit Clan are all embroidered pillows, useless. According to me, Brother Qingyun can show off his talents again this time .”
"Desolate...Desolate Sand Ruins?!" Xian Qingyun threw the wine cup into the lake, grabbed the white-faced boy's lapel, and asked: "Desolate Sand Ruins are going to be opened?"
The white-faced boy nodded in fright: "Yes, yes. The whole Liangcheng and beyond know about this matter. Didn't Elder Jiange inform Brother Qingyun?"
"Ah!!!" When Xian Qingyun heard this, he pushed the white-faced boy away and kicked the stone table over.
He pointed at the panicked people and shouted sternly: "Get out! Get out of here!"
When everyone saw that he was furious, they were frightened and left one after another, leaving him alone leaning against the stone pillar in despair.
Xian Qingyun picked up the wine cup filled with wine on the ground and looked at the reflection in the wine quietly. His eyes gradually became clear. It was a man with thick dark circles under his eyes, an unkempt beard, and a haggard look.
"Is this...Is it me? In just over half a month, I have become so haggard."
Xian Qingyun roared angrily and threw the wine cup away from his palm. Then, he overturned the Huxin Pavilion and fell into the lake.
Liangcheng South Gate
Ghost Gate
The party was over, except for Gui San, Gui Ji, and Xiao Hai who had left, there were still six people left in the room: Zi Yang, Jia Juesheng, Xuan Yi, Pei Yuan, Zhu Feng, and Hua Yao.
Seeing that several people were silent, Zi Yang looked at Xuan Yi and took the lead in saying: "Tomorrow, are you going to Dou Shen Tower? No! Dao Mansion doesn't want you, so you can only go back to Dou Shen Tower."
Xuan Yi said in a low mood: "It's a pity that I can't accompany you on the adventure this time."
Zhufeng held the wine bottle in his hand and said with a smile: "It's a good idea if you don't go, so no one will compete with me for the wine."
Xuan glanced at him and said nothing.
Jia Juesheng stared at Xuan Yi and said seriously: "From now on, we will be teammates. The day when we can practice together and fight side by side is not far away."
Xuan Yi smiled and said: "To be honest, I'm looking forward to it."
Pei Yuan joked: "With Xuan Yi joining, I will have a lot less worry."
There is no doubt about Xuan Yi's strength. With him joining the team, Pei Yuan will naturally have less worries.
"Guisan, Guiji, brother and sister, what are you going to do? We can't let them follow us all the time." Zi Yang looked at Jia Juesheng and reminded him.
He understands that the two siblings are very close to Jia Juesheng, but he cannot always take them with him. Even if it is Huayao, he will not take her with him wherever he goes.
After the trip to the Huangsha ruins is over, he plans to let Hua Yao return to Wu Zheng Town. After all, compared with places like Liangcheng, Wu Zheng Town is the safest.
Zhufeng stopped drinking for a moment and looked at Jia Juesheng quietly.
Seeing Jia Juesheng's hesitation, Pei Yuan suggested: "Long-term pain is worse than short-term pain. We have to be separated sooner or later anyway. You'd better make it clear to them when we go to the desert ruins this time."
Jia Juesheng glanced at Zhufeng intentionally or unintentionally and said, "I will persuade them to leave."
He changed the subject and said, "Zi Yang, you still have one most important thing to do now."
Several people looked at him with doubtful eyes.
Ziyang asked in confusion: "What's the matter?"
Jia Juesheng said seriously: "Our team doesn't have a name yet. Except for you, the captain, we can't do such a big thing."
Zi Yang smiled awkwardly and said: "It's too troublesome to name things. Let's talk about it after we get out of the deserted sand ruins..."
The few people were talking to each other and chatting very enthusiastically. Hua Yao sat aside silently, which was very different from her lively personality in the past.
Zi Yang also noticed this and asked with concern: "Huayao, your face is so pale. Are you feeling uncomfortable somewhere?"
"I'm too tired. Let's talk."
After saying that, she retracted the cuff of her right arm and hung it by her side. A drop of blood slipped from the cuff. Zhufeng was about to ask, but he felt Ziyang's eyes looking at him. He shook his head slowly, and he didn't say anything. Speak up.
After she left, Zi Yang was very puzzled and asked: "Jia Juesheng, when Hua Yao came to find you, was her right arm injured?"
Jia Juesheng thought for a long time, shook his head and said, "No. I remember that when she went to your room in the morning, she pushed the door open with her right arm."
Zi Yang pointed to the blood on the ground and said, "Then what's going on with this blood?"
Jia Juesheng said helplessly: "This... I'm not sure either."
Bang!
The closed door was violently pushed open from the outside, and a petite blue figure stood outside the door angrily, glaring at Zi Yang who was directly in front of him.
Zi Yang smiled and asked, "What's wrong, Xiao Hai? Who made you angry?"
Xiaohai didn't say anything, he immediately ran over, took Ziyang's arm, and dragged him towards the door.
Zi Yang asked again: "Who bullied you? Tell me, don't say anything."
Xiaohai still didn't speak and pulled him out of the room.
Zi Yang turned around and reminded: "Jia Juesheng, find some medicinal materials and send them to Hua Yao. I will accompany Xiao Hai to take a look."
Jia Juesheng looked at Ziyang in the distance and shouted loudly: "Okay, I understand, don't worry."
Xiaohai dragged Ziyang to the door of Qiu Qianqian's room. Ziyang immediately broke free and said: "Xiaohai, if you want to go in, you can go in by yourself, I won't go!"
Xiaohai said: "Sister Qianqian is so kind to you, but you hurt her. Just forget it if you don't want to apologize to her. Now you don't even agree to look at her."
Seeing that he didn't look like he was lying, Zi Yang suddenly remembered the sound of cracking bones in Qiu Qianqian's arm when he threw himself on the ground.
He was too angry at the time, so he didn't take it seriously. Only when he saw Xiao Hai's impatient look did he understand.
Ziyang thought about it, he knelt down and said to Xiao Hai: "Xiao Hai, I'm going to find some medicinal materials to give to you. As for you asking me to go in to see her, I can't do it."
"Why? You are all here. If you take a few steps forward, you will see Sister Qianqian. Why don't you want to see her?"
"There's no reason, I just don't want to see her."
"Sister Qianqian's arm is seriously injured. Don't you really want to go take a look?"
"I'm going to find some medicinal materials."
Zi Yang turned his back to him and left after speaking.
Liangcheng North Gate
Eldar
As soon as Lu Yu returned to the Spirit Clan, a Spirit Clan disciple hurriedly came outside his room, knocked on the door and waited.
Lu Yu's voice came from the room: "What's going on?"
The disciple whispered: "Senior brother, the clan leader wants to send you to the desert ruins, what do you think?"
"Desolate sand ruins? What place is it?"
"The ruins of the desert sands can improve senior brother's level as soon as possible. In addition, the sect masters and disciples of the other four major sects will also go there."
"When will we leave?"
"Let's set out tomorrow at 10 o'clock."
"Tell your clan leader that I will go with her. As for whether to enter the desert ruins then, it depends on your interest."
Sanwang Hall
Bubai was currently in the main hall discussing with a group of elders about the ruins of the deserted sand. Suddenly, a thick black mist appeared outside the main hall. Bubai and the elders immediately got up and went to greet it.
When the thick fog dissipated, a middle-aged man dressed in black stood outside the palace door. His facial profile was very similar to Xiao Yuying's. The only difference between the two was that the man had a two-inch long stripe on his left eye. scar.
His realm is the same as that of Bubai. They are both in the fifth realm of demigods. His aura is still a bit stronger than that of Bubai. He is Xiao Xiong, the master of Sanwang Hall who has been in seclusion for a long time.
Once, Sanwangdian dominated Liangcheng for several years under his leadership, but it declined to this point because of him. This gave the opportunity for the strong rise of sects such as Daofu and Jiange.
