In the mountain forest, four figures criss-crossed the dense old branches, running all the way towards Hongdou Village. The journey originally only took seven days, but due to Hu Mingxian's deliberate efforts, it took him half a month to enter the hunting range of Hongdou Village. Inside.
"You three go back first, I still have some things to deal with." In front of a cave dug by the hunting team, Hu Mingxian said to Lei Niu and the others: "You only need to know what happened half a month ago. I will go back later." , I will tell the village chief in person."
"knew."
"good."
Dahu and Erzhuang agreed and turned to leave. Seeing that Lei Niu was hesitant, they couldn't help but look at each other and stopped.
Clenching her fists, Lei Niu raised her head, looked directly into Hu Mingxian's eyes, and asked, "Brother Mingshan, did you kill them all?"
Hearing this, Dahu and Erzhuang were stunned for a moment, and then lowered their heads unnaturally, with a look of inability to let go on their faces...
In the past half month, the three of them had been holding back something they wanted to ask Hu Mingxian, but they didn't know where to start.
When they were there, they didn't feel anything. Now when they recalled the scene, they realized that the boss, who was a few years younger than them, seemed to be too 'decisive' in his killings. It seemed that they had truly realized what their boss was. What kind of person is he?
However, in the past six months of getting along, their little boss should not be the kind of person who would kill someone just because they disagreed.
Hu Mingxian took a deep breath, looked at Lei Niu, Dahu and Erzhuang calmly, and said indifferently: "Practice along the way is not something you can do whatever you want. Maybe it's because you have a certain treasure, maybe it's because of the skills you practice. , or just looking at you displeased, may trigger a life and death battle...
There is a saying in our hometown that "people are in the world, they can't help themselves, love and hatred are difficult to resolve, and grievances are endless." This is the "outside world" you want to go to, this is the world of practitioners. "
"Go back." He waved his hand and Hu Mingxian turned around and walked towards the cave. He said: "You still have a year and a half to think about it. I will not give you any advice. At that time, whether to stay in Hongdou Village to defend the village or go out to meet this killer. In a world of constant war and endless grievances, it is entirely up to you to make the decision."
Regarding the state of mind of Lei Niu and the others, Hu Mingxian did not mean to blame them at all. He himself had gone through this experience.
To be honest, if there was even a slight chance, he would not embark on the path of spiritual practice. He just wanted to live a peaceful and ordinary life with Ji Linyue, but he couldn't make the decision on everything by himself, just like on a chessboard. How a chess piece acts depends entirely on the player's thoughts.
All he can do is to continue to become stronger, stronger and stronger, and finally break out of the chess game before he can control himself.
In the forest, a gust of evening wind blew by, but it could not dissipate the confusion on the faces of the three people. Reflecting the sporadic moonlight, they saw an eye-catching sight in the back figure that gradually disappeared under the shadow of the cave. Fear of loneliness.
"Let's go!"
Taking a step forward, Dahu took Lei Niu's hand, and the three of them disappeared into the forest.
In the cave, Hu Mingxian sighed softly and stopped thinking about Lei Niu and the others. After sitting down cross-legged, his thoughts returned to this encounter.
Undoubtedly, the appearance of Luo Yan, Nangong Qingye and Xiao Banyun filled Hu Mingxian's heart with surprise.
To be honest, Hu Mingxian had no intention of killing anyone. Even if the other party insulted him, if he really wanted to leave, he would have been able to take Lei Niu and the others away. However, the moment he learned that Luo Yan was the third princess of the Gale Kingdom, He then had his own plan.
To be precise, before Xiao Banyun revealed the purpose of their trip, Hu Mingxian was not sure whether the Gale Kingdom sent people to the Sunset Mountains to look for Luo Chenfeng, who disappeared ten years ago. This alone may threaten Hongdou Village. safety.
In addition, they really wanted to find the origin of the Cloud Blood Requiem Fruit, so their end would be death.
What's more, Xiao Banyun is still a member of Wuying Pavilion, so he can avoid killing anyone, except Xiao Banyun, and Hu Mingxian cannot let him go.
As for Nangong Qingye, it is not difficult to tell from his words and deeds that he is the same as Luo Yan. If he is allowed to leave, there is no guarantee that he will not bring people to the Sunset Mountains again. Once they find the location of Hongdou Village, they will lose the Yunxue Requiem Fruit. It's small. It's up to you whether Hongdou Village can survive.
Hu Mingxian did not want to take this risk, nor did he want to take this risk. If his current cultivation level was not too low, he even wanted to ambush and kill the powerful man in the Soul Realm, once and for all.
However, thinking of Luo Yan, he also gave up this plan. After all, someone had to bring Luo Yan back alive in order for his plan to take the first step.
Speaking of which, Xiao Banyun’s identity in Wuying Pavilion was something Hu Mingxian never expected...
After Luo Chenfeng told him about the past, Hu Mingxian thought that since he was wearing the clothes of the dead 'Luo Fan', he and Luo Fan had such a friendship, so he naturally wanted to fulfill his long-cherished wish for Luo Chenfeng. .
As for the disputes within the royal family of the Dafeng Kingdom, why did the Qianyuan Sect support Luo Lintian behind the scenes? Is the Fenglei Sect just unwilling to antagonize the Qianyuan Sect because Luo Chenfeng has a hopeless future? After all, Luo Chenfeng is a core disciple of Fenglei Sect. If he is so ruthless, he will not be afraid of the other disciples of the sect being disheartened...
Hu Mingxian had no intention of asking about many mysteries like this from beginning to end.
However, Xiao Banyun's identity in Wuying Pavilion made Hu Mingxian give up his original plan. Since Wuying Pavilion was involved, this matter was not just as simple as fulfilling Luo Chenfeng's long-cherished wish!
After withdrawing his thoughts, Hu Mingxian stopped thinking about it and took out the materials for refining the demon soul fire pill and the sun and moon furnace. At the moment, he decided to cure Hei Yun first.
…
Imperial Capital of Gale Kingdom
Deep in the vast palace complex, a seventeen-year-old boy wearing brocade clothes, holding a jade pendant in his hand, went straight to the Prince's Mansion in the East Palace overnight. Reflecting the moonlight, his handsome face was full of panic and fear. color.
"Stop!" In front of the gate of the Prince's Mansion, the leader of the six guards saw a person approaching in a hurry, holding a spear directly in front of the person. Not only was there no respect in his words, but there was a trace of disdain in his words: "It turns out it's two people. The prince...The prince has ordered that no one can enter the East Palace after the prince's time. Second prince, please go back."
After breathing heavily for a while, facing the obstruction and disdain of the guards, the second prince didn't care at all. He raised the jade pendant in his hand and said with a slight smile: "Are you sure? You have delayed the emperor's big event. Are you sure you are qualified and able to take on it?" Can you afford it?”
"This is... the third princess's personal photo jade!" The guard was shocked. He immediately knelt on his knees and put his forehead to the ground: "I am ignorant, and I hope the third princess can forgive me!"
The second prince flicked his broad sleeves, stopped entangled with the guard, and ran quickly towards the depths of the East Palace.
Behind him, when the guard stood up, five other guards also surrounded him.
The guard patted the dust on his body, glanced at the figure walking away, and said disdainfully: "Humph! You are a waste who can't practice, so you can only be a dog wagging your tail behind the prince and begging for mercy."
"No...if he hadn't had the third princess's jade pendant this time, how many brothers would have let him in?"
"Come on, it's better to say less. After all, he is a prince. This is something we can only say among the brothers. If others listen to it, we will have to shed our skin even if we don't die."
"Okay, okay, continue to stand guard."
…
In the dormitory deep in the East Palace, there are only a few weak lights swaying in the corners. The entire dormitory looks quiet and dim. A dark gauze curtain embroidered with dragons divides the entire dormitory into two, and a huge moonlight bead shines on the top. A faint beam of moon-white brilliance.
Under the moonlight, a figure lay lazily on a soft golden couch.
Her long black hair was scattered casually and messily. She was wearing a fiery red robe embroidered with gold dragon patterns, a ruby belt around her waist, and a transparent ice silk gauze. She sat with her bare feet on the side. Above the maid's knees, a pair of fiery red boots inlaid with white jade were carefully held by another kneeling maid.
At this moment, this man lowered his peach blossom eyes, seeming to be immersed in the world he created. His long and graceful fingers were dancing in front of him like flowing water, and his long eyelashes were on his face that was so handsome that it was almost enchanting. It rises slightly with the imaginary rhythm.
The occasionally raised faces made the two maids breathe hard, their pretty cheeks turned red, and their hearts felt like deer rushing.
Luo Yan, the eldest son of Luo Lintian, the Lord of the Gale Emperor, is also the crown prince of the Gale Kingdom.
"Brother Emperor, something happened!"
The second prince, Luo Cheng, bowed his head respectfully and held the jade pendant with both hands above his head.
Silence, a long silence, the prince behind the curtain did not make any move, still immersed in his own world.
The second prince, Luo Cheng, did not dare to make any move, nor did he dare to say another word to remind him. He kept doing this until Luo Cheng was bent over and almost lost consciousness, and when he could no longer hold his hands up, there was a message from behind the curtain. An extremely indifferent voice came.
"Back off."
After Weiwei reached out and took the jade pendant into his hand, Luo Yan waved his hand gently and ignored Luo Cheng.
"Yes, Brother Huang."
In response, Luo Cheng still maintained the same action, retreated all the way to the outside of the palace and closed the door. Then he slowly straightened up while holding the door, and left cautiously.
In the palace, after checking the contents of the jade, Luo Yan gently crushed the jade into powder.
No matter whether it was the third princess he loved and attracted, or Mr. Xiao who explored the tomb of thousands of corpses for him, they failed to cause the slightest emotional change in him.
Only for that young man, a trace of surprise appeared on his face that was more delicate than a woman's. Under the moonlight, a pair of breathtaking eyes opened a crack, and there were two faint scarlet streaks. The light spilled out, but it closed again in the blink of an eye.
"Go and send the 'Emperor Soul-Calming Pill' in the treasure house to Mr. Xiao. I wish him a speedy recovery."
In the dark hall, Luo Yan threw out a jade pendant and saw a black shadow appear silently. After taking the jade pendant, it disappeared again.
Then, Luo Yan continued to be immersed in his own world, with a sinister curve on his lips, and said to himself: "Former Crown Princess, it seems that someone can play with me."
