As night falls, the fields are vast, the wind howls, and the houses in the front yard are lit up one after another.
The three people in the darkness walked along the corridor to a house with closed doors and windows. There was no one around.
Xu Feng crouched under the window sill and slowly raised his head to peek inside. The room was dark and he couldn't see anything. He was not sure whether there was anyone inside, so he could not make any noise rashly, so he had to use his finger to poke a small hole in the window leaf. Looking through the finger-sized hole, it was completely dark.
The room was as silent as death.
Xu Feng wondered: Why is there no one in these rooms? Did they all gather in the front yard? Where will Brother Chu be imprisoned? Won't Nephew Liu Xian and the others also be imprisoned? The more he thought about it, the weirder he felt. He just thought that these situations were too unusual, but no matter what, he had to find Chu Yunfei and the others and try to rescue them.
Luo Xiangxue whispered: "It's strange, the house here is also empty. Where are they being locked up?" Suddenly, there was an ominous premonition in her heart: Could it be that they have all been killed? If Brother Liu is really dead, what's the point of living for me?
She could only scream in her heart over and over again: "Brother Liu, where are you? Do you know I'm looking for you? Do you know how worried I am?" She thought in a daze, her heart full of sadness, and she couldn't help but stand up He was in a daze on the spot.
Suddenly, a gust of night wind blew, and she couldn't help but shiver. The night was dark, and her heart seemed to sink with it, sinking to the bottom of the valley.
Lei Zhentian pondered: "Have they been killed? Or been transferred to other places?" This is what Xu Feng is worried about.
Xu Feng said slowly: "Don't make random guesses now. We have to find a place to stay tonight. This is the wing. Maybe someone will come here soon. Let's go and take a look elsewhere while it's dark and difficult to be discovered." "
Luo Xiangxue looked around warily, her eyes stopping on a pagoda-like square pavilion in the center of the yard. She suddenly said: "Look, there is a tower there. If we can get in, why don't we hide inside for a night?"
Xu Feng and Lei Zhentian looked at her together. A square five-story tower stood in the center of the yard, like a majestic castle in the darkness.
Lights were lit under a row of eaves in the front yard, and the reddish light flickered in the night wind. But all the rooms were dark, and it was obvious that no one had been there.
Xu Feng asked the two of them to hide at the corner of the corridor, and said warily: "The lights are on in front, someone is coming. Let's find a place to hide quickly, so we don't get discovered." As he said that, he pointed at the door of the house. Behind him, three people dashed past. He leaned over the corner and observed what was going on in front of him.
Sure enough, for a moment, there was a sound of footsteps in the darkness ahead, and several black figures walked over from there.
A man's voice said: "The owner actually entertained those people with delicious food and drinks. What do you think the owner did for? It's really strange!"
Another man said: "I heard that the sect master was familiar with that old guy in the past, and then they had an affair again for some reason. Alas, I don't know exactly what happened. The sect master was very thoughtful and did this. Of course there is a reason for it."
The two men, one tall and one short, were walking one behind the other while talking, and they arrived here unknowingly. Xu Feng gestured to the two of them to be silent and quietly observed their movements.
But they saw the two people walking to the corner of the corridor and turning around, heading towards the pagoda in the courtyard.
Xu Feng tilted his head and glanced over there with one eye, feeling suspicious: What were these two people doing at the pagoda? These two people said, what's going on with the Hell Sect's master entertaining Brother Chu with delicious food and drinks? ...A mist could not help but rise in his heart, completely covering his whole body.
Luo Xiangxue only cared about the safety of Liu Ruyan and the others, fearing that she would never see him again. She heard the conversation between the two people just now. Instead of treating Chu Yunfei as a rival, the Hell Sect Master treated Chu Yunfei with delicious food and drinks. She was so confused that she could no longer guess the reason.
There is moonlight rising in the sky and stars twinkling. Looking from this high mountain, I feel even more peaceful and far away.
The snow-white moonlight shines on the pagoda, and the courtyard is empty and quiet, giving it an indescribable weirdness.
But they saw the two people standing by the pagoda for a long time. One opened the iron door in the middle and walked in immediately, while the other stood motionless at the door. No one can tell what they are going to do! After the man walked into the pagoda, all the lights above were lit up, and the colorful patterns on the walls were vaguely visible. Under the dim yellow lights, they looked even more mysterious.
Lei Zhentian lowered his voice and said, "Are these two people just holding lamps? Master Xu, what should we do next?"
Xu Feng said slowly: "Don't worry, we can only wait and see what happens, and then make plans after those two people leave." With the situation in front of him, he had no idea for a moment.
The night wind blew against the treetops and eaves, making a crisp sound. A row of red lanterns swayed in the wind, and the pale moonlight stretched their silhouettes.
Suddenly, a figure appeared not far behind them. The figure stood under the eaves, under the moonlight, dressed in white in the darkness, like the soul-chasing Bai Wuchang in hell.
At a glance, everyone couldn't help but tremble. Could it be that they really encountered a wild ghost in the wilderness.
Luo Xiangxue opened her eyes wide, took a quick look and quickly turned her face away, her face turned pale with surprise, she was obviously very frightened.
The three people instinctively wanted to avoid it, but it was too late. They were completely exposed under the nose of the man in white.
Xu Feng was shocked, but quickly calmed down. Regardless of whether he was a human or a ghost, he had no choice but to remain unchanged in response to any changes. It's a blessing, not a curse. It's a curse that cannot be avoided. If that person wants to take any action, they have no choice but to risk their lives.
The two sides looked at each other for a long time, but the man in white didn't even speak, but just walked slowly towards this side.
Lei Zhentian and Luo Xiangxue both looked at Xu Feng. Xu Feng looked serious and signaled them to be silent. But his left hand had already tightened his grip on the long sword in his hand. He was ready to attack and prepared for the worst.
The man in white not only did not speak, but also had no intention of taking action. As he gradually came closer, it was clear that he was holding a folding fan in his hand. His slender figure and fluttering white clothes gave him the appearance of a jade tree facing the wind.
Luo Xiangxue was new to the world of martial arts. She originally had little experience and had not seen many strange scenes in the martial arts world. At this moment, she couldn't help but take two steps back.
Lei Zhentian saw that Luo Xiangxue was a little nervous, so he patted her arm and whispered, "Miss Luo, don't be afraid. The more people pretend to be crazy, the less you need to be afraid. Let's see what the person's purpose is first."
Luo Xiangxue looked at the man in white and whispered: "It's okay, I'm not afraid anymore. He's not a ghost. There's nothing to be afraid of." She said this, but her heart was already at a loss.
The man in white stood about ten meters away from them. He had beautiful eyebrows, clear contours on his face, long hair shawl, and a slight smile on his lips. He suddenly said coldly: "A few of you at night Why don’t you come here to visit me?”
Xu Feng composed himself and said calmly: "It turns out that your Excellency has discovered us a long time ago." He did not answer directly.
The man in white's voice was still cold, and he still said with a smile: "To tell you the truth, you have been under our surveillance since you were hiding in the woods!"
Xu Feng was suddenly shocked, but his expression remained unchanged. He said lightly "Oh" and said, "In that case, why don't you arrest us?"
The man in white let go of the folding fan in his hand, started fanning leisurely, and said slowly: "Although we are not friends, we are not enemies either, so why should we arrest you? Okay, back to the topic, I, Bai Ruxue, I am here to greet you all by order of my master. To be honest, my master invites you to come in and talk to me!" The master he mentioned must be the master of the Hell Sect.
Everyone was suddenly surprised when they heard this. Although they didn't know whether what he said was true or false, after hearing what he said, everyone's inner tension eased a little. This man didn't make any move, which was unexpected. Now that his whereabouts had been exposed, he could only I can take one step at a time and see one step at a time.
The man in white shook the folding fan twice, closed it with a roar, made a "please" gesture casually, and said with a smile: "Everyone, please!"
Xu Feng pondered for a long time, glanced at Lei Zhentian and Luo Xiangxue, nodded and said: "Then please lead the way!"
The man in white nodded slightly, turned around and walked towards the front courtyard. Everyone followed him cautiously, walked through the corridor, and came to a large attic.
