The person surrounded in the middle looks like a woman. She is wearing a short green dress. Her appearance is unclear. Her cultivation level should be in the late stage of foundation building.
There were four people surrounding her, two of them from Zifu were the main attackers, and the other two from Jiji were raiding the formation beside them.
Yang Zhen glanced hastily and saw that the woman was in dire straits and the situation was very bad. If the two Zifu hadn't intended to capture her alive, this woman might have been defeated long ago.
What's worse is that at the entrance of the arena, there is also a purple-robed master rushing towards him!
Yang Zhen thought for a moment and immediately decided to come to the rescue.
Since the other party is a "Xu Guo spy", it is most likely a senior sister from the Yunxiao Sect. Out of friendship, he had to save her.
More importantly, he has the strength.
Just like that day in the valley, he summoned Dandan and Zhu Zhu from the space with a thought.
Two big birds with crimson bodies and wingspans of more than ten feet appeared in the sky above the square, immediately causing everyone to scream in surprise.
Dandan looked around with a stern gaze, and his giant wings flapped up and down, like a fiery red cloud, swooping towards a Zifu who was besieging him.
Zhu Zhu took Zhao Yue'er and followed closely, targeting another Zifu.
At the same time, Yang Zhen turned around and returned to the box. At this time, the old man surnamed Lu had just climbed up from the ground, her eyes met him, and she shouted urgently: "Master Nephew Li, don't make a mistake!"
Yang Zhen smiled brightly, and took advantage of the old man's opportunity to avoid Yi Yi's lightning again, throwing a formation plate to the ground. In an instant, white mist rose, and phantoms surrounded the old man.
This is his tried-and-tested trick, especially suitable for a relatively closed space like a private room. He doesn't want to hurt the enemy, as long as he can block the opponent for dozens of breaths, it is enough.
Immediately afterwards, he drew out the sun-chasing bow with his backhand and shot three arrows at the Zifu who was coming over, with the purpose of blocking the enemy.
It was Zhao Yueer who really came to the rescue. During the time she was in space, the little girl experienced the same training as Yang Zhen in various ways, and her strength was no longer the same as when she was in Panxi Mountain.
At this moment, she saw Dandan and Zhu Zhu each entangled a Zifu, and with a wave of their jade hands, a long whip of more than ten feet, like a giant python, twisted and twisted towards the woman in the formation.
"Got it!" she shouted.
The woman was overjoyed to see someone helping her. She waved the sword in her hand several times and forced back the two approaching Foundation-Building monks. She twisted her delicate body and tightly grasped the tail of the whip with her other hand.
Zhao Yue'er pulled hard, and the woman flew towards Zhu Zhu like an arrow from a string.
At this moment, Zifu, who was fighting with Dandan, had a fierce look on his face and shouted:
"Go to hell!"
Regardless of Dandan's attack, he swung out the sword in his hand and chased after the woman!
Zhao Yue'er was shocked. In the flash of light and flint, it was too late to take out other treasures. She quickly pinched a magic formula with her jade fingers, her red lips lightly scolded, and an indigo ice brick about the size of a foot collided head-on with the long sword!
This ice brick consumed almost half of her mana, and her pretty face was as pale as paper for a while.
However, how could she stop Zifu's late-stage vigorous attack?
The long sword was intercepted, and the sword shook violently, hitting the ice bricks into debris in the sky. Although the castration slowed down, it was still like a meteor chasing the moon. In an instant, it had caught up with the woman, entering from the back, and her chest Reveal!
"Ah -" the woman screamed and stumbled to the ground. Zhao Yue'er pulled her back hard and held her tightly in her arms.
"She's hurt!" the little girl shouted.
At this moment, Yang Zhen had arrived with her clothes on, jumped on Zhu Zhu's back, and the four of them staggered away towards the distance.
Dandan stayed behind to cover, waving his wings vigorously, causing sand and rocks to fly in an instant, and strong winds to block the pursuers behind him.
When the wind slowed down a little, I saw two giant red birds, one behind the other, turned into two red dots, and went far away.
"Activate the city defense formation!" the Zifu who stabbed the woman ordered.
There was a three-inch deep wound on his shoulder, which was spurting out blood all the time. It was the wound caused by Dan Dan.
…
Not long after Zhu Zhu flew with a few people, he hit an invisible wall. Yiyi's little hand waved a thunderbolt, making a gap of about ten feet in the shield, and everyone rushed out.
"This sister is dying." Yiyi said worriedly. One of her small hands was pressing on the woman's chest, and a large amount of green mist lingered on it, which was soon dyed red by the splattered blood.
Yang Zhen grabbed the woman's right hand and poured her true energy into her. She couldn't help but scream inwardly that it was bad. This woman's heart has been severed and she can't survive. She is just relying on her own cultivation to support herself.
This kind of serious injury cannot be saved even if Yiyi's cultivation level rises to another level.
He felt sad in his heart, and while continuously injecting Qi, he ordered: "Go to the canyon below, quickly!"
Zhu Zhu's giant wings drew an arc in the air and rushed towards the valley. The two red birds quickly became smaller as they approached the ground. Yang Zhen and others jumped into the jungle ahead and disappeared in an instant.
…
bluestone space
The woman slowly opened her eyes.
Looking at the faces of Yang Zhen, Zhao Yue'er, Zixue, Yiyi and others, the woman showed doubts and forced a smile on her face. Just as he was about to speak, his delicate body trembled, and he coughed violently, bringing out a mouthful of blood, and his face became even paler and more haggard.
Yang Zhen quickly increased the flow of Qi. After a while, a blush appeared on the woman's face and her eyes opened again.
She sighed softly, as if she had put down her thoughts. Her tense nerves suddenly relaxed, and the muscles on her face relaxed.
In the astonished gazes of Yang Zhen and others, there seemed to be several earthworms wandering around on the woman's face, and her face was hideous and ugly. Soon, those earthworms became smaller and smaller, and finally disappeared, and the woman's face became stretched again. It's just that he has become a completely different person than before.
A very ordinary looking woman.
However, to Yang Zhen, this face was very familiar, so familiar that it was unforgettable.
"Qin Mingyue!" He blurted out, then realized something was wrong and changed his words: "No, you are not Qin Mingyue, you are Qin Yugui!"
The woman looked shocked and gasped, her voice hoarse and weak:
"Who are you?"
Yang Zhen thought to herself and replied: "I am your lady's old friend."
"Old friend?"
"Well, four years ago in Panxi Mountain, I had a life-long friendship with your lady." Yang Zhen smiled slightly.
"Oh." Qin Yugui breathed a sigh of relief. She knew that the young lady had single-handedly saved many heroes from the younger generations in Panxi Mountain. This middle-aged monk must be one of them.
"What is your surname?" she continued to ask.
"Li Puzhi," Yang Zhen said without blinking, "from Zhaoxi County in Xizhou, he is currently the captain of the Hengwu Military Academy."
"Li Puzhi? Hengwu Army?" Qin Yugui muttered in a low voice, feeling very strange.
However, at this time, the passing of life left her no time to think too much. He was not going to die soon, and since the other party had a friendship with the lady, he could only ask the other party to deliver the important news.
She has no choice.
"Captain Li," she begged, "go and tell the lady that someone has set up an ambush in Hengji Mountain to deal with her!"
This sentence seemed to be shouted from the heart. Qin Yugui exhaled heavily, looking anxious. The true energy in her body has long since dissipated, and she relies entirely on Yang Zhen to keep her alive.
"Someone wants to harm Qin Mingyue?" Yang Zhen's eyes narrowed.
…
In Qin Yugui's intermittent narration, what happened gradually became clear.
Some of the background stories can be found out through Li Puzhi in another dimension.
For example, Hengji Mountain.
Xizhou is located in the southeast of the Qin State, and is connected to the east of the Million Mountains, which is now Quzhou of the Qin State. On the south side, a large piece extends eastward, like an inverted kitchen knife, with the handle bordering Daye Kingdom.
Hengji Mountain is located at the handle of the knife. This place has steep mountains and harsh environment. There have been many native people living in the mountains for generations, known as Heixi.
There is naturally Black Xi and Bai Xi. They both belong to the same ancestor. However, Bai Xi had already left the remote area of Hengji Mountain and established a country in the east, which was the Daye Kingdom.
"Heixi believes in witchcraft and worships ancestors. Their witchcraft has a certain miraculous effect on suppressing the inner demons. Last autumn, the lady sent me to Hengji Mountain, hoping that I could eliminate the influence of the inner demons and be promoted to the Zifu. Qin Yugui said.
She didn't explain why she had the inner demon oath, but Yang Zhen knew it well. It was Qin Mingyue who had borrowed her identity to break her oath in the secret realm of Panxi Mountain and hunt for herself. In the end, the inner demon's oath backfired, and its consequences affected the woman in front of him.
It's pitiful to say the least.
"Not long ago, I heard a news from the Heixi tribe. In half a month, the Prime Minister of Daye Kingdom and the second head of Shazhou of Xu Kingdom will secretly set up an ambush in Hengji Mountain to deal with the young lady together!"
Daye State has four golden elixirs, namely the king, the prime minister, the general and the high priest. Although Shazhou is the territory of Xu State, it has always been in a semi-independent state. There are two golden elixirs in the state, and the second master mentioned by Qin Yugui must be one of them.
This is interesting. They are both Daye and Shazhou, but they are actually gathered in a remote place in the Qin State, and they are dealing with a very important person in the Qin State.
"I heard that the leader of the Black Xi clan is also the real Jin Dan. Did he participate?" Yang Zhen asked curiously.
"He probably doesn't know about this."
"have no idea?"
"The Daye Kingdom has always hoped that the Qin State would invade Hengji Mountain and force the Heixi people to flee to Daye, thus increasing the strength of the Daye Kingdom." Qin Yugui analyzed: "So the leader of the Heixi clan definitely does not want the young lady to be in his territory. Something happened inside. But it’s hard to tell about the people under him. I couldn’t see him and didn’t dare to contact him, so I ran out.”
"What are Qin Mingyue going to Hengji Mountain for?" Yang Zhen asked next.
Qin Yugui was already in a trance and did not notice the disrespect in Yang Zhen's tone towards her young lady. In other words, she had already regarded the other party as the last straw and had no time to worry about it.
"Miss, she went into seclusion a few days ago to attack the second level of the Golden Core. According to the rules of the Qin royal family, after the disciples advance to the Golden Core, once their realm is stable on the second floor, they can go to Hengji Mountain and accept the test."
"Test? What test?"
Qin Yugui sighed and did not answer. His eyes wandered on Yang Zhen, and he said feebly: "Liu Lieutenant, can you, Tong, inform the lady?"
Yang Zhen looked into her eyes and slowly shook her head.
He and Qin Mingyue are enemies rather than friends, and the relationship between them is quite big. That woman was cruel and ruthless. He almost died at the hands of her at the beginning. Now when something like this happens, he would be magnanimous not to add fuel to the flames. How could he possibly tell her?
He wished that Qin Mingyue would be reincarnated as soon as possible!
"You don't want to?" Qin Yugui's expression suddenly changed and she said sternly: "Who are you, and whose subordinate are you?"
This excitement and injury could not be suppressed, and he coughed several times in succession, bringing out a large mass of blood, and his breath suddenly became weak.
Yang Zhen couldn't bear it. He didn't want to continue to coax a dying person, so he wiped it on his face, revealing a young and handsome face.
"I am Yang Zhen, a native of Xu. I just mistakenly thought that my senior sister was one of our own, so I rescued you. Your young lady is in trouble, and I think it has something to do with the people in your country's court. Yang has no interest in these dirty things in your country. Sorry for interfering."
"Yang Zhen? So you are Yang Zhen!" Qin Yugui exclaimed. It seems that she must have heard about Yang Zhen from Qin Mingyue's mouth, and knew about the grievances between him and her own lady.
The light in her eyes gradually dimmed, and she smiled sadly: "Those people slandered me as a spy of Xu State, but they just wanted to prevent interference from others so that they could capture me alive and ask about the source of the leak. I never thought that someone from Xu State would really come to save me. I forced them to kill me. Fellow Daoist Yang, I, Qin Yugui, am so lucky to have met you, haha!"
Yang Zhen remained silent. This woman's fire of life was extinguishing, so why bother to stimulate her anymore.
At this moment, Qin Yugui's eyes suddenly lit up, as if he had thought of something, and his face regained its luster.
"Young Master Yang, since you are from the Xu Kingdom, can we make a deal?"
"trade?"
"Yes, deal," Qin Yugui said: "Miss, there is a piece of information that is related to the life and death of your Yunxiao Sect. You can go to her and use this piece of information of mine to exchange with her."
"The news about Yunxiao Sect's survival?" Yang Zhen sneered: "Why should I believe you?"
"It's up to you whether you believe it or not." Qin Yugui replied weakly, closing his eyes and refusing to speak anymore.
She was already so angry that even if Yang Zhen continued to increase the flow of infuriating energy, she would not be able to maintain it for long.
"Do you have any last words?" Yang Zhen sighed. He wouldn't believe this woman's last nonsense.
Qin Yugui's tightly closed eyes suddenly opened.
"I'm not lying to you!" she said eagerly: "A year ago, when I was still serving as the school captain in Fangzhou, I once received a defected senior brother from your sect on the order of the young lady. The man said that he had discovered the Yunxiao sect. A huge secret is related to the life and death of your sect. We, the Qin State, are required to trade with him on one condition..."
"What is it?" Yang Zhen's heart tightened and she asked.
"Yes..." Qin Yugui pursed his lips.
The flashback just now finally consumed the last of her life, her head tilted to one side weakly, and there was no more sound.
