Half an hour later, an old man wearing a gray robe and holding a sword came to the place where Lin Manliu and Huang Fang had fought.
Looking at the broken branches next to the stream, the old man quickly located the end point of the battle here and found the seriously injured Huang Fang next to a tree.
At this time, Huang Fang's face showed pain, his mouth twitched from time to time, the sleeve of his right hand holding the sword was damaged, and his shoulder was even dented. The injury was already serious, so he immediately walked towards him.
"Huang Fang, how are you?" the old man asked.
"Hua...Elder Hua...the disciple is incompetent. He was spying on that person earlier...unexpectedly, he discovered him, cough cough..." Huang Fang gasped and said. His eyes opened slightly and he found that it was Hua Yananlai. When we arrived, I felt a lot more at ease.
"It is indeed the thief... Are you seriously injured?" Hua Yanan first lowered his head to look at Huang Fang's injuries again, and then asked a superfluous question.
If anyone else was around, they would definitely think that Hua Yanan's question was unnecessary. Huang Fang would never think so. What he meant by this might be that he had doubts about the outcome here. Why was he already defeated by Liu Manlin, how could he still survive so far?
"The thief's swordsmanship is really weird... It's a bit like the sword power of the Forged Sword Peak. I'm afraid I won't be able to fight with him for too long... I have to shout, Elder Hua, you will come here for help... The thief can hear it." After a few feints, he ran away..." Huang Fang gasped a few more times before speaking. He tried his best to push himself up and stand up, but he couldn't get up no matter what.
When Hua Yanan heard Huang Fang's reply, he sighed, stretched out his hand to help him up, and then said aloud: "This boy has learned several techniques from each sect... It doesn't matter if you can't defeat him. ..As long as you survive, we can no longer harm disciples like you in the building..."
"Huang Fang knows that he is not as good as several direct disciples... At this age, he still has little achievements in swordsmanship... This has caused Elder Hua to be looked down upon by other elders and the host..." Huang Fang blamed himself Make a sound.
"What are you talking about! In addition to Ying Fang...and Yan Hai, how can you not compare with the other two...Now that only Lu Qing is left, you must hone your swordsmanship so that others can compete with you in the future. I'm impressed!" Hua Yanan said, patting Huang Fang's back.
"Thanks to Elder Hua's guidance... Huang Fang will never forget it..." After hearing this, Huang Fang's eyes filled with tears and he looked at Hua Yan'an with excitement.
Hua Yanan also nodded at him. Such a scene was indeed a good pair of master and disciple. Ying Fang was killed by the thief, and now the only one left in the building is Huang Fang, who is still attached to the other elders and the outstanding disciples gathered by the building owner... Although he is a little older, as long as he is on the westward journey this time , appearing in front of the poster a few more times can help him gain some face... Thinking of this, Hua Yanan looked to the southwest, and after a moment of silence, he suddenly said: "That junior brother of yours earlier, I don't know The news I got from there said that the scumbag Qi Xuan imprisoned Junior Brother Lu Qing... That night, the host came to the dock in person, and as expected... Someone must have taken advantage of your Junior Brother... In the end, he could only be punished severely, but when In the end, I didn’t say anything about the news I got from that…”.
"Elder Hua is talking about Junior Brother Ma... He is a simple and honest person, and he usually admires Senior Sister Lu the most... Maybe it is a guess in his heart, and it is a mistake... Elder Hua should not embarrass him..." Huang Fang also followed Hua Yanan's gaze and looked to the southwest.
"I hope so, there won't be an ungrateful person like Qi Xuan in the building again... Go back, and then tell the building owner to rush to Southern Xinjiang as soon as possible!" Elder Hua sighed, turned around and walked away.
"Yes, Elder Hua!" Huang Fang responded. Then Hua Yanan and Huang Fang headed towards the Fengxue Grand View Tower.
Along the way, he met many disciples in the building. Several people who had acted with Huang Fang before were among them. Seeing Huang Fang's miserable condition, several disciples who usually respected Huang Fang immediately expressed concern and asked.
Their kind Senior Brother Huang just shook his head and said it was okay, and everyone could only give up. Along the way, Huang Fang looked at some trees on the mountain road from time to time. His behavior was extremely strange. Hua Yanan at the front did not notice anything, but instead attracted the attention of several junior brothers around him. He wanted to deliberately let these junior brothers notice the same thing. .
The three disciples who were the first to follow Lin Manliu naturally knew what Huang Fang was looking at. The signs of the Fengxue Grand View Tower they left behind along the way were on these trees.
There was a disciple who was closer to Huang Fang. When Huang Fang turned his head, he took the opportunity to look at him inquiringly.
"You three...the markings on the road were a bit negligent. I was almost killed on the spot by that thief..." Huang Fang was silent at first, but after looking at this disciple's eyes, he spoke out. said.
The disciple was about to defend himself, but when he looked into his eyes, he saw that Senior Brother Huang didn't mean to blame him at all, but more like a reminder and helplessness.
Then he understood the meaning of Huang Fang's words and nodded to him, as if to thank Huang Fang. This Fengxue Grand View Tower disciple was sure that it was the elder Anhua from Huayan who had scolded senior brother Huang Fang for their negligence in marking, but was suppressed by their loving and kind-hearted senior brother Huang Fang.
If it were not for the problem of unclear markings along the way, the search for Senior Brother Huang Fang would not have been delayed for so long... I thought that if Senior Brother Huang had not intervened, he would have been punished by Elder Hua afterwards, and there would have been no more after this trip. Any meritorious service can be rewarded.
Huang Fang also smiled at him, as if he was comforting the junior brother in front of him, but that was not what he was thinking... When he was looking for the three of them and Lin Manliu, Huang Fang considered that if The young men in short shirts fought for too long, causing Hua Yanan to rush here, but there was no possibility of expelling Lin Manliu.
So he destroyed a few of the marks left along the way and added a few more at some crossroads to confuse Hua Yanan.
The result was naturally what Huang Fang expected. After Lin Manliu retreated and all his preparations were made, Hua Yanan found him and believed in his words.
Everything is under his control, Huang Fang! ...In the Snake Valley in southern Xinjiang, in a tent in the valley, the shouting was louder than usual, like a quarrel.
"What does Lan Zongfeng mean...for us to withdraw from the Snake Valley area?!" Lu Fengbai said with a doubtful tone to Lan Wuqiu who was standing aside.
"I asked the disciples of Sword Lake earlier and reported that...all the members of the Slaughter Evil Sect have entered the southern Xinjiang area, and it will take two days for reinforcements like us to enter the southern Xinjiang. If we count the arrival at the Snake Valley, I'm afraid it will take some time..." Lan Wuqiu responded.
"Then this isn't the reason for abandoning this place..." Lu Fengbai murmured. Even if it is true that all the Evil Slaughter Sect entered the southern border, if they had to occupy the Snake Valley, why did they just make some simple attacks in the past twenty days and then retreat... Besides, with the strength of both the Slaughter Evil Sect and the Heaven and Earth Alliance, The fishing was almost done. It was obviously impossible to give up the Snake Valley at this time. It was obviously impossible to convince Lu Fengbai with such arguments.
"It is indeed such a critical moment... It is difficult for Master Lu to give up the Snake Valley...Have Master Lu ever heard of the book "Hunyuan Weapons Manual"?" Lan Wuqiu met and talked to no avail, so he had to go again Say something.
Lu Fengbai was silent for a moment and looked at Lan Wuqiu again. There was some doubt in his eyes, but it quickly dissipated.
"Of course I have heard of it. My ancestors had good relations with Zhujian Peak in the past, and I have also heard of this in books... But what does this matter have to do with abandoning this place?" Lu Fengbai asked.
"Does Master Lu know that the "Hunyuan Weapons Manual" also disappeared in the Sword Making Peak along with the sword appreciation event last year?" Lan Wuqiu asked tentatively.
"Is there still this matter?" Lu Fengbai asked in confusion.
"After I asked the disciples of Jianhu and sorted out the news over the years, I found out that the "Hunyuan Weapons Manual" is divided into two volumes, one of which is in the hands of Yangfeng Gu Lingxun... " Lan Wuqiu replied.
"You mean, the Tu Evil Sect's plan to defect to Yangfeng Valley is because they want the half volume of the "Hunyuan Weapons Manual" in Ling Xun's hands?" Lu Fengbai looked at Lan Wuqiu.
"It's probably like this. Master Lu and Master Linggu have an old relationship. It was naturally difficult to talk about some things in front of Master Lu before. Today, we have to talk about it... That day, Ling Xun died tragically in Xunhan Mountain, Elder Zhankeng. Under the sword..." Lan Wuqiu said aloud as if he was remembering the whole battle in Yangfeng Valley.
"That's enough..." Lu Fengbai interrupted.
"I think Master Lu also has an idea why the Tue Evil Sect is here... When they first fought against Fengxue Grand View Tower in Yuezhou, they probably wanted to obtain the Four Swords in the World in the hands of Liu Mei, the owner of Fengxue Grand View Tower. One... Then Yangfenggu wanted to find the half volume of Hunyuan weapon manual... Now he came to this southern border..." Lan Wuqiu said in a vague voice.
"That is, in Southern Xinjiang, there may be another half volume of "Hunyuan Weapons Manual", or other four swords in the world..." Lu Fengbai responded.
"Yes, that's what I guessed. That's why I boldly proposed to Master Lu today to evacuate the Snake Valley as soon as possible. Even if the Tue Evil Sect reoccupies it, as long as they join up with other sects of the Heaven and Earth Alliance in the future, they can also join forces with the Tue Evil Sect. Let’s fight again..." Lan Wuqiu said.
"Indeed...this is the best way..." Lu Fengbai nodded and said.
"What about these brothers who are stuck here! Are they going to die in vain here???" A shout suddenly came from outside the door.
"Listen! When did you come? I was having a meeting with Lan Zongfeng, and you were eavesdropping outside the tent?!" Lu Fengbai shouted angrily.
Ye Dangting walked into the camp and looked at Lu Fengbai angrily. Lan Wuqiu looked at the first and second owners of Yijian Villa without saying anything, just waiting quietly for them to proceed.
