The sun is setting on the west mountain, and the red clouds cover up the dim light, just like the fire that has just been extinguished, and there are still little sparks on the firewood.
At this time, there should have been a cool breeze, but the west wind was extremely warm, just like the sunshine near noon, which made people feel extremely uncomfortable.
Xuan Yi and Jia Juesheng, who were walking in front, were the first to notice something was wrong. They looked at each other with confusion. The former asked: "Jia Juesheng, do you also feel that something is wrong with this west wind?"
Jia Juesheng nodded slowly and said: "I didn't pay attention at first. I didn't expect that the more we go west, the hotter the west wind will be."
Xuan Yi didn't know why. He asked again: "What does this mean? Could it be because we are closer to the sun?"
Jia Juesheng explained carefully: "I have heard people say that the Western Continent and the Northern Continent are separated by a deep and wide crack, and magma flows under the crack."
Xuan Yi widened his eyes and said excitedly: "According to you, we are very close to the Western Continent now?"
Jia Juesheng nodded and said with a heavy face, "It's not far."
"What's wrong with you? We are almost to the Western Continent, and you don't seem happy at all?" Xuan Yi saw that his expression was wrong, as if he had encountered something very disturbing.
Jia Juesheng said calmly: "It's not that I'm unhappy, but the Western Continent is guarded by the mythical beast Suzaku. The flames spouted from its mouth isolated the two continents, and over time, magma formed."
"Therefore, the threshold of the Western Continent is not easy to enter. Once we fall into the magma, our bodies will have melted before we even touch the magma."
Xuan Yi naturally understood what he meant and said: "You are worried that when we get there, the people who are chasing us will appear."
Jia Juesheng said worriedly: "We don't have the strength to resist them. If we are driven into the magma under the crack, it will be so painful..."
"You know, that's the power from the mythical beast Suzaku. Its flames are the most powerful existence in the world and can burn any living thing."
"Hey, don't worry too much. We have already lost Pei Yuan. I don't think God will be so heartless."
"Because..." As he spoke, Xuan Yi slowly moved his gaze to the back, looked at the man in black walking between the two women, and said, "If one of us fails to accompany him to the Western Continent, , maybe, Ziyang will really collapse."
"Pei Yuan's death made him cough up blood. Although he looks like normal at the moment, you and I both know that he cannot withstand the second blow."
"Alas! Pei Yuan died. This reminds me of Zhu Feng's hexagram: The sky thunder breaks! The sky thunder breaks!"
"Before you entered the ruins of the deserted sand, I thought that the breaking of the sky thunder would be on Ziyang. Until you successfully arrived at Liangcheng, I felt that Zhufeng's hexagram was wrong."
"Who would have thought that after such a long time, his hexagram would actually correspond to Pei Yuan's body."
After hearing what he said, Jia Juesheng asked excitedly: "What else is in Zhufeng's hexagram?!"
Xuan Yi carefully recalled what Zhufeng said to him in the Ghost Gate, and he said: "Now, I finally understand. Those who are chasing us will not enter the Western Continent, as long as we have our feet on the ground of the Western Continent , the whole thing is over."
"It's a pity that Zhufeng is not with us. Otherwise, we can still follow his hexagrams." It was not until this moment that Jia Juesheng understood the importance of divination.
If Zhufeng was here, they might easily avoid the pursuers, but luckily, he possessed the Feng Shen Mansion. Not only that, he also mastered the Feng Shen Mansion's divine weapons.
Among them, Zhufeng was the fastest, but Ziyang favored him and asked him to escort Xiaohai home.
When he thought of this, Jia Juesheng asked seriously: "Xuan Yi, do you think that if Zhufeng comes with us, will Pei Yuan escape the disaster?"
"This..." Faced with Jia Juesheng's bold idea, Xuan Yi hesitated for a long time and said, "Maybe, maybe not."
"However, things have happened and we can't change them. If we think too much, it will make ourselves more sad."
"So, it's better not to mention this matter again in the future, let the past matter be in the past."
Jia Jueshang sighed and said unwillingly: "Fate, everything is fate!"
"Zhufeng sometimes makes mistakes in divination, but why did he get it right this time? Moreover, not only us, but also he himself felt that the divination was wrong."
"But just when we all thought everything was fine and everything was over, unexpectedly, the predictions he predicted came true one by one."
Xuan Yi was a little surprised and said: "Huh? Jia Juesheng, this is exactly what is terrifying about Zhufeng. You have to know that Zhufeng is still the lowest level divination prophet. If you give him a few more years... ..."
Jia Juesheng thought about it carefully and immediately smiled and said: "At that time, I'm afraid we will ask him for divination."
———
On the sand dunes in the distance, Qiu Leng held a sharp and bright dagger in his hand, quietly looking at Zi Yang and others heading west.
Suddenly, two figures flashed by and stood beside him. They did not speak to him, but also looked at Ziyang and the others. These two figures were Zifu and Luo Yuan.
Qiu Leng stood there not long before he put away his dagger and walked down the sand dune without saying a word.
"Senior brother, what does he mean?" Luo Yuan saw that his back was gradually covered by the desert sand, and it seemed that he did not intend to continue to help.
Zifu said calmly: "It's obvious that he is planning to let go."
"What?!" Luo Yuan's eyes widened and he said anxiously: "The pursuers are about to catch up, but he leaves at this juncture?"
"He has done enough. We have no reason to ask him to continue to help. Besides, there are really not many people in the world who can let him help." Zifu has heard something about Qiu Leng's character. It is really surprising that he can do so much for Ziyang.
Luo Yuan lowered his head and thought for a while, then said with a worried look on his face: "Senior brother, now that he's gone, you and Yaorou are the only ones left. Can you two resist the pursuers?"
Zifu said with a deeper meaning: "If she and I were together, it would be really difficult to fight against them, but don't underestimate your brother."
Luo Yuan let out a surprised sound and asked in a low voice: "Senior Brother, do you mean that there are others secretly helping Zi Yang?"
He and Zi Fu came all the way. Apart from Yao Rou and Qiu Leng, he really didn't see anyone else. Therefore, he felt that he had overlooked something.
Zifu raised his head and sighed: "What a pity. If your brother hadn't fallen down, with him around, it might have been a different situation."
Of course Luo Yuan understood that the brother Zi Fu was talking about was naturally his brother-in-law Wu Yuanxiao. He was silent for a long time, then raised his head and asked, "Is he really that powerful?"
"It seems that you don't know him very well." Zifu said carefully: "Before he fell, I competed with him in swordsmanship, but I never beat him."
"His talent and state of mind can be compared with our master. Of course, I am referring to him in the past."
Luo Yuan said: "In my understanding of him, he was too stubborn and persistent. I didn't expect that he would be so open-minded before."
Zifu changed the topic and praised: "But his temper is very similar to your father's. Otherwise, he wouldn't be your brother-in-law."
"Alas!" Luo Yuan slowly shook his head and said with a forced smile, "He also has his own difficulties."
———
Xuan Yi, who was walking in front, waved to Zi Yang and said, "Zi Yang, let's go quickly, we will arrive at the Western Continent soon."
When he heard that the Western Continent was right in front of him, Zi Yang's heart trembled violently, and he sighed: "After walking for so long, we are finally here."
Hua Yao and Yao Rou looked at each other, and the former lightly opened her lips and said, "Zi Yang, you seem to have something on your mind?"
Zi Yang said with a solemn expression: "Qiu Leng said that the people who are chasing us are behind us. Now we are about to leave the Northern Continent, and the people who are chasing us should also show up."
Yaorou's pupils opened slightly and she said, "Zi Yang, are you saying they did this on purpose?"
Zi Yang said: "Isn't it true? They first let us see the hope of living, and then they took action to shatter the hope."
Hua Yao thought for a while and said, "Zi Yang, could someone have stopped them?"
Zi Yang smiled helplessly: "It's possible, but who among the people we know has this ability?"
Just as he lowered his head in thought, a gust of cold wind blew by, and several black figures in the distance were revealed in the wind and sand.
When they passed through the wind and sand and appeared in front of everyone, they were Zhuhaze, Shae, Shaying, Jiang Qi, Jiang Cai, Shui Jueyin, Xiaoxiong and Xiaoyuying.
Moreover, the sky behind them was filled with deserted sand, and it seemed that many people were coming.
"We're here after all." There was no fear on Zi Yang's face. He shouted to Jia Juesheng and Xuan Yi, "You two cross the suspension bridge first!"
Jia Juesheng said: "Zi Yang, then..."
Before he finished speaking, Xuan Yi took his hand and ran towards the suspension bridge in front, saying as he ran: "Don't cause trouble here, it's useless for us to stay. It's the wisest choice to cross the suspension bridge first." .”
Jia Juesheng said anxiously: "Xuan Yi, what should Ziyang and the others do?"
Xuan Yi said very rationally: "You can't help if you stay. If there is a fight later, we will cross the suspension bridge first and save a lot of trouble."
"Besides, Ziyang seems to have known that they would catch up, so he didn't let us walk at the back. Otherwise, I'm afraid we wouldn't have a chance to cross the suspension bridge."
"Don't forget your identity. You are an array master. You can still help us when we cross the suspension bridge."
"Alas! What is supposed to come has come. I hope all of us can save the day." Jia Juesheng had also thought about the outcome of being overtaken by the pursuers, but it was a bit of a pity as he was about to reach the Western Continent.
If they reached the Western Continent safely and the pursuers never caught up, it would be a perfect ending and what he wanted to see.
But the facts were before him. At this moment, the gap in his heart was very obvious, as if he had fallen from heaven to hell.
