Xian Qingyun closed his eyes and sat on the gravel to rest. The straight scabbard was erected by his side. On the other side of his body was a fire that had long been extinguished.

Ziyang and Zhufeng were lying on the sand and fast asleep. They were only fifty steps away from Xian Qingyun, but they were not worried about their own safety at all.

Because, through these few days of communication, observation, actions, etc., their views on Xian Qingyun have also changed.

First of all, after defeating the people of Sanwang Palace, he did not leave with the disciples of Jiange, which means that he did not deceive Ziyang, and he indeed left Jiange.

Secondly, he was worried about misunderstanding between the two of them, so he always kept a certain distance from Ziyang and Zhufeng.

At dawn, the fog that filled the air was dispersed by light, and the dazzling sun gradually rose.

The warm sunshine shone on Zi Yang's face. He raised his palms to rub his eyes and slowly opened his eyes.

Zhufeng was lying on his side, with his back to the dazzling sunlight, holding an empty wine bottle in his hands, and still had no intention of waking up.

"Zhufeng, Zhufeng." Ziyang reached out and gently pushed his back, calling him several times.

Zhufeng's head suddenly raised and he said in a daze, "What are you doing?"

Ziyang stood up and patted the gravel on his clothes and said, "Don't sleep, it's time for us to set off."

"Okay. Let's go, let's go." Zhufeng half-closed his sleepy eyes, nodded, yawned, stretched, and stood up lazily.

Hearing the conversation between the two, Xian Qingyun, who was sitting fifty steps away, slowly opened his eyes and picked up the scabbard standing on the sand.

As soon as Ziyang and Zhufeng left, Xian Qingyun followed them without saying a word and walked down the sand steps into the deep pit.

Zhufeng looked back at Xian Qingyun and said, "No. Now that you have food and drink in your hands, you still want to follow us, right?"

Xian Qingyun, who was standing high up, was not angry at all. He said calmly: "I am going to find the nest of the crazy blood ant colony. There is only one way to go now. You have to let me go."

Zhufeng looked up at Xian Qingyun and said directly: "You go when we go, and you stop when we stop. Are you not making it clear that you want to follow us?"

Xian Qingyun spread his hands and said with a smile: "You are going to hunt for treasures, and I also have something to do. Isn't it normal for everyone to take this path?"

"Besides, you didn't dig this road. Why can you walk it but I can't?"

"Huh? You..."

Zhufeng pointed at him and was about to speak when Ziyang suddenly said, "Stop talking and let's go."

Although Zhufeng was a little angry, he didn't continue talking since Ziyang had already spoken.

When the two were about to walk down the sand steps, Zi Yang grabbed Zhu Feng's wrist, and the latter looked at him with confusion. Xian Qingyun, who was walking behind them, was also slightly startled.

Ziyang knelt down, picked up a few larger gravels on the sand steps, and then walked toward the dark roads on both sides.

After a long time, there was still no sound coming from the passages on both sides. Only then did he jump down the sand steps and carefully observe the two slightly dim passages in the north and south.

Zhufeng, who was standing behind him, asked, "Zi Yang, which way should we go?"

Zi Yang looked at the dense footprints on the north and south roads and felt a little confused for a moment. It was obvious that many people had walked on both roads.

After a while, Zi Yang pointed to the road to the north and said, "Let's take this way."

Xian Qingyun, who was standing on the sand steps, watched the two people leave and still followed them leisurely.

After walking a few steps, Zhufeng immediately turned back and said, "There are two roads here. Do you need to take the same road with us?"

Although Xian Qingyun had no ill intentions towards them, being followed like this made him feel a little uneasy.

After all, he didn't know what Xian Qingyun's purpose was, and there was no treasure present. Once he encountered something valuable, there was no guarantee that Xian Qingyun wouldn't be tempted.

In this way, he brought a competitor with him, and he was also a strong competitor.

Xian Qingyun smiled and said, "I won't take action against you, let alone rob you of your treasures, how about that? You should be relieved about this, right?"

Seeing that he didn't seem to be lying, Zhufeng asked directly: "I don't want anything, so what are you doing here?"

Xian Qingyun thought about it for a moment, then stopped hiding it and said truthfully: "I came here just to find a sword. That sword is not a powerful weapon, it is just an ordinary sword."

"I will leave as soon as I find the sword. I will never steal anything from you."

Zi Yang looked at Zhufeng and said, "Zhufeng, I seem to have forgotten something very important."

Zhufeng looked puzzled and said, "What's going on?"

Zi Yang said with a smile: "Aren't you a divination prophet? Take out the jade tablet and calculate it to see which path Pei Yuan and the others took."

Since Qiu Qianqian's body was not found last time, he had forgotten the identity of Zhufeng Divination Prophet. If the two of them had not quarreled here, giving him time to think, he might not have thought of this.

Because he was always thinking about the safety of Pei Yuan and others, so he would inevitably ignore the people around him.

Also, Zhufeng always hides the jade tablet. He has not seen the jade tablet for a long time, so naturally it is difficult to connect the divination prophet with Zhufeng.

"These days are so comfortable. I only eat and drink. If you don't tell me, I will forget about it." Zhufeng said while taking out the jade tokens in the basin.

When Zhufeng took out the jade token, Xian Qingyun's eyes were fixed on the blue jade token in his hand, his eyes filled with blazing color.

At first he couldn't believe it, because he had never seen a divination prophet in Liangcheng for so many years, so when Ziyang said that Zhufeng was a divination prophet, he didn't want to believe it until he saw with his own eyes the magic weapon in Zhufeng's hand. Jade card.

That is indeed a jade tablet owned by a divination prophet, a jade tablet that can predict the past and the future.

After Zhufeng felt Xian Qingyun's surprised eyes, he protected the jade token with both hands and said with great displeasure, "What are you looking at?"

When he said this, Xian Qingyun quickly looked away and said politely: "I want to ask you to do me a favor."

Zhufeng thought about it carefully and immediately understood what he meant and said, "I understand. Don't you just want to know the whereabouts of that sword?"

"Yes." Xian Qingyun nodded sharply and said excitedly: "Can you do the math for me?"

Zhufeng curled his lips and shook his head: "Forget it? Sorry, I'm not interested."

A fortune-telling consumes a lot of money on himself. How can he agree to help others fortune-telling for no reason?

Xian Qingyun knew the importance of divination prophets. In order to find the sword he wanted, he would not let go of this opportunity no matter what.

"No, no, no. As long as you can help me find that sword, I can do whatever you want." Xian Qingyun immediately reached out to stop him.

Zhufeng tried to say: "That's okay, as long as you follow my instructions, I guarantee that you will find the sword as you wish."

Xian Qingyun was ecstatic and said: "Okay, okay, I will listen to you. I will listen to you in everything. I will do whatever you ask me to do."

At this moment, Zhufeng seemed to have grasped Xian Qingyun's lifeline, making him dare not disobey her words.

Not long after, Zhufeng came to Ziyang with a jade tablet and told him the divination news.

The two discussed for a long time. Zhufeng put away the jade token and walked to Xian Qingyun. He didn't know what he said to him. Xian Qingyun immediately chose another path and left in a hurry.

After Xian Qingyun's figure disappeared, Zhufeng couldn't help but ask: "Zi Yang, is this Xian Qingyun reliable?"

Zi Yang said confidently: "Don't worry. The moment you took out the jade token, his whole person changed. You can imagine how important the sword he mentioned is to him."

"We have captured his fatal weakness, and he will not mess around."

"That's right. Where is the specific location of that sword? You should calculate it as soon as possible."

Zhufeng nodded, and the two of them went in opposite directions to Xian Qingyun.

Ziyang and Zhufeng walked under the dim candlelight for an unknown amount of time before they smelled the strong smell of blood.

What came into view were corpses scattered everywhere, some leaning against the sand walls on both sides, and some lying on the road in front of them.

Zhufeng looked at the corpses wearing the uniforms of Sanwang Palace disciples and the blood stains that had solidified on the sand wall, and said in disbelief: "Zi Yang, weren't these people the ones who escaped with the Birds of Prey team? How could they die here? "

Zi Yang walked over, glanced at the scars on the corpses, and said, "They were all killed by swords."

Zhufeng asked: "Could it be that the people from Daofu and Jiange have caught up with them?"

Zi Yang shook his head and explained carefully: "I don't think it's possible. The only people lying here are the people from Sanwang Palace, Dao Mansion, and Jiange Pavilion. Do you think it's possible?"

"Also, the four members of the Birds of Prey team are not here. Where did they go?"

Zhufeng thought for a moment and guessed: "You mean, the four people in the Birds of Prey team were separated from these people? And these people were caught up by Wu Daoda and others and killed here by them?"

Zi Yang frowned deeply and said, "I don't know. However, there is something strange. Not long after we separated from Xian Qingyun, we discovered these people from King San's Palace."

"The most suspicious thing is that the goshawk, sparrow eagle, red-bellied eagle, and gray-faced eagle in the raptor team all escaped, leaving only these people in the Sanwang Palace. I always feel that something is wrong."

"Forget it. Let's go to the front and take a look. If it's really the people from Daofu and Jiange who did it, then they must be in front."

However, the two of them kept walking forward, and what was waiting for them was corpses scattered all over the road, and they were all people from Sanwang Palace. There were also corpses of blood ants on the sand.

At the same time, Xian Qingyun also encountered the same scene, but the people who died on the sand were disciples of the Spirit Clan and the Ghost Clan.

Xian Qingyun was overjoyed when he saw this and couldn't help but said: "Okay! Okay! Zhufeng is indeed a divination prophet. Everything is as he expected."

"The Spirit Clan, the people from the Ghost Sect are indeed here."

Although Zhufeng was a divination prophet, Xian Qingyun had doubts about his divination ability, but after seeing the dead body on the ground, he was convinced that Zhufeng was a divination prophet with real abilities.

As long as he did what Zhufeng said, he would be able to find the sword, there was no doubt about it.

Of course, this is just Xian Qingyun's personal idea.
