"Elder of the Huannie Sect? Guarding the palace?" Ji Beichen half-opened his mouth in shock and could not recover for a long time.
The guard nodded affirmatively and handed over the Ming Ling Token from the elder of the Huan Mie Sect. Ji Beichen looked up and saw the two characters "Gecko" engraved on it.
Shou Gong took the token back into the storage ring and explained to Ji Beichen: "Shou Gong is the name I gave him, and Bihu is the real name of the elder of the Huanmie Sect. The last Bihu died in the turmoil ten years ago. .”
Shou Gong said with a self-deprecating smile. She didn't know how long she could survive. Maybe the next "Gecko" was ready and waiting for the opportunity to come with a knife.
"What happened to Senior Sister Tang back then?" Ji Beichen was even more puzzled when he heard this. He knew very little about the Huan Mie Sect. Hearing what Shou Gong said, he knew that it was not easy for her these years, and he didn't know why she gave up. As a disciple of the Cangxu Sect, I have lived in such a life-and-death situation every day.
Shou Gong did not answer Ji Beichen, his expression dimmed and he hesitated for a moment, then returned to normal and said: "I will explain the reason to you in detail in the future. All you need to know now is that the reason why Huan Qianqiu united with the major immortal sects to hunt you down is It’s because the “Secret Book of Heaven” is about to appear, and you are the key!”
""Secret Book of Heaven"?" Ji Beichen frowned and thought, then shook his head repeatedly and said: "I have never heard of "Secret Book of Heaven", let alone me. People from the Huan Mie Sect must have made a mistake. "
Seeing the certainty of Ji Beichen's words, the guard continued to warn him: "I don't know much about the Secret Book of Heaven. There is one more thing you need to pay attention to. There are traitors in the Cangxu Sect. Please give me some help." Junior Brother Ji will dig him out, eliminate the foreign enemies, and clear up the Qingming Festival in Cangxu!"
After Shou Gong said this, he lowered his body and patted Ji Beichen's shoulder heavily, as if he was placing a very important task in Ji Beichen's hands.
Ji Beichen was happy in his heart, Tang Xiyu was so nervous that Cangxu Sect seemed to still have the heart of her sword, so he couldn't help but excitedly replied: "Senior Sister Tang, don't worry, I will do my best to investigate, and if you want to return to Cangxu in the future, I will be your rightful person!" "
Shougong shook his head helplessly. She knew that she could not turn back. Being able to contribute to Cangxu was another way of expressing her gratitude to Ji Beichen.
"Remember my words and never tell others about this." Shou Gong warned again, with a serious look on his face. He glanced at Yan Yueli in Ji Beichen's arms with a hint of suspicion in his eyes.
Ji Beichen nodded solemnly. He didn't know how Tang Xiyu became the palace guard elder of the Huan Mie Sect, but there must have been a lot of bitterness and suffering.
Today, she risked her identity being exposed. She must have placed great trust in her when she came to meet him. How could he let her down? She immediately stated her position, raised her arms, and solemnly said: "I, Ji Beichen, swear to God, If you tell a third person what happened today, then..."
Before Ji Beichen could finish speaking, Shou Gong stepped forward and gently put down Ji Beichen's arm. There was no longer a trace of doubt in his eyes: "Junior Brother Ji, you don't have to swear, I believe in you, and I believe that I will not misjudge the person. This is not the right place." If you stay for a long time, Junior Brother Ji and Palace Master Yan should leave as soon as possible!"
After Shou Gong finished speaking, he stood up, cupped his hands, and disappeared into the depths of the dense forest. Birds chirped again in the quiet forest, as if no one had ever been here.
After a stick of incense, Yan Yueli gradually woke up from Ji Beichen's arms. When she opened her eyes, she saw him looking directly at her. Her cheeks immediately turned red with embarrassment and she tried her best to get into his arms.
Ji Beichen curled his lips and whispered in Yan Yueli's ear: "Now that Li'er is awake, get up. I'm worried that Brother Wang and the others won't be able to cope."
"Yeah." Yan Yueli agreed but didn't move. It wasn't that she didn't want to move, but that her body was numb from sleep, as if she had been under a spell.
Ji Beichen could see Yan Yueli's discomfort. The spell in her dream was all because of him, which made Ji Beichen feel a little distressed.
"I'll carry you." Ji Beichen said, letting Yan Yueli lie on his back, carrying Yan Yueli and walking towards the Spirit Spider Cave.
Yan Yueli didn't say a word, her face was still red and she was embarrassed. She was supposed to keep vigil to protect Ji Beichen, but now she slept harder than him. Could it be because she felt at ease with him?
Seeing that Yan Yueli was silent, Ji Beichen was afraid that she would blame herself, so he quickly comforted him and said, "Maybe Li'er is too tired. Please take it easy first. Don't be embarrassed."
Yan Yueli's heart felt warm, she pressed her cheek tightly against Ji Beichen's back, and said with a joyful smile: "With Ah Chen here, I feel at ease."
On the other side of the Spirit Spider Cave, Wang Yuanting and Shen Qingxi didn't wait long. The thousand-year-old demon spider finally appeared, surrounded by five or six red fire spirit spiders.
Its body is not much different from that of a centuries-old spirit spider, except that its whole body is dark black and its eight eyes are even blood red, making it almost demonic.
The red fire spider that had been cultivated for hundreds of years was spiritual, and the red fire magic bead that had been cultivated for thousands of years was even more cunning. It did not accept Wang Yuanting's strong attack and attacked directly towards the weaker Shen Qingxi.
Wang Yuanting secretly screamed, the previous century's red fire spider's cultivation level was close to the golden elixir stage, this thousand-year-old demon spider's demonic aura was even more powerful, and its cultivation level was close to the Nascent Soul stage. His golden elixir stage defensive shield may not be able to hold up.
"Senior Sister Shen, be careful!" a woman in red yelled, holding a long blue sword and stabbing straight at the red fire magic bead.
This sword strike was too sudden. Before the red fire demon spider had time to react, the long sword was already in front of it. The blue sword instantly turned into countless fiery red sword lights, all of which were shot at the red fire demon bead.
The red fire magic bead immediately spit out a spider web to block Jian Guang's domineering attack, but its two hind legs were still hit by the attack and split into two instantly. The pain made it scream "chichi" and wave its two front legs angrily. .
"Palace Master! You are here!" Shen Qingxi called out in surprise, her expression darkened again. It was because of their incompetence that Yan Yueli finally took action.
The Red Fire Demonic Spider vigorously waved its two front legs, threatening to tear it into pieces. How could Yan Yueli let her get close? The blue sword light never stopped attacking.
The red fire demon spider's eyes were red with anger, and all eight eyes simultaneously spurted out dark black flames, shooting straight at Yan Yueli, hoping to burn Yan Yueli to ashes and relieve the hatred in his heart.
Faced with the fierce attack of the red fire demon spider, Yan Yueli was not afraid. She silently recited the magic spell and used the fourth level of Yan Yue Sect's unique "Feng Qi Yuan Dian" - "Xiang Lin Ming Feng".
I saw Yan Yueli's light figure, tapping her toes on the cave wall, and instantly jumped to the top of the cave. The long sword instantly turned into a domineering unicorn beast in her hands. Stepping on the blue flames, she fearlessly fought with that Eight dark black flames greeted each other, and eventually the dark black flames were completely engulfed.
The blue flames still showed no signs of abating and directly wrapped the Red Fire Demonic Spider tightly. As time slowly passed, the Red Fire Demonic Spider would gradually be burned into scorched earth.
With the same move, Yan Yueli only used five points of skills to capture the thousand-year-old red fire spider due to his cultivation in the Nascent Soul stage, while Wang Yuanting had to use all his strength to kill the centuries-old red fire spider.
When Wang Yuanting saw that the Red Fire Demon Spider had been captured, he immediately activated the demon catching array to trap the Red Fire Spider in front of him, and then flew over.
He quickly waved the Xuanming Fan in his hand, added a handful of Xuanming Fire to the struggling Red Fire Demonic Spider, and then watched its painful appearance with interest.
"Very good! First the limbs, then the body, and finally the head. It will slowly feel the burning taste of Xuanming Fire, until it turns to ashes!" Wang Yuanting became more and more excited as he spoke, and the expression on his face became more and more ferocious. .
"Senior Brother, please stop talking!" Shen Qingxi became more and more cruel as she listened, and finally turned away, unable to bear to watch this torture-like killing.
"It almost killed you just now. You have just entered the golden elixir stage and have not yet reached the Nascent Soul. If you die, you will die. How can you let me live alone!" Wang Yuanting roared, venting the fear in his heart. He lowered his hands feebly, his face There was a hint of sadness.
"I..." Shen Qingxi lowered her head guiltily, and the next moment she was tightly embraced by a pair of strong arms.
"Sorry, I lost my composure." Wang Yuanting kept kissing Shen Qingxi's forehead, and the joy of regaining it swept away the fear in his heart.
Shen Qingxi couldn't stand Wang Yuanting's enthusiasm. She lightly hammered his chest and reminded him: "Yuanting, the palace master is still there!"
Wang Yuanting then remembered that it was Yan Yueli who had rescued Shen Qingxi. He quickly straightened his clothes, wiped off the dirt on Shen Qingxi's face, and pulled Shen Qingxi and Yan Yueli to join him.
Yan Yueli was standing far away from Ji Beichen. When she saw the two of them walking slowly, their clothes were dirty and slightly embarrassed, she couldn't help but worry: "Are Senior Brother and Senior Sister Shen injured?"
"It's okay. Fortunately, the palace master arrived in time. It's because his subordinate's skills are not good." After Wang Yuanting said this, he nodded slightly to Ji Beichen beside him as a greeting.
Ji Beichen felt uncomfortable after hearing this, and raised his hands and said: "I am the reason why you are in danger this time. I am ashamed, and I am grateful..."
Wang Yuanting hurriedly waved his hand to signal Ji Beichen not to say any more. A smile gradually appeared at the corner of his mouth, and he comforted: "Hey! Brother Ji's words are out of context. The palace master's business is the Yan Yue Sect's business, and naturally it is my business. Thank you, everyone. It’s boring to come and thank you, it’ll be fine if nothing happens.”
After Wang Yuanting finished speaking, he took out the Millennium Demonic Spider's spider elixir from the storage ring and handed it over to Yan Yueli's hands. This mission in the Trial Valley was completed.
When he thought that the people from the Huan Mie Sect were probably still in the Spirit Spider Cave, he couldn't relax, and immediately suggested: "Now that the Spider Pill has been obtained, we'd better leave early. This Trial Valley is not as lively as usual!"
Yan Yueli's expression immediately became nervous, and she quickly asked: "Elder brother also met someone from the Mo Shadow Sect?"
"Not only that, people from the Huanmie Sect also came to join in the fun, but they also took away the demon pill in the hands of junior sister Qingxi." Wang Yuanting opened the black iron fan in his hand and slowly shook it, giving Shen Qingxi a meaningful look.
Shen Qingxi hurriedly shook her head and explained: "Elder brother is wrong! I agreed to exchange it with Sister Gonggong. The spirit spider is not the Red Fire Demon Spider we are looking for, so there is no harm in giving it to them."
Ji Beichen's heart skipped a beat. Wasn't Tang Xiyu the "gongshou"? It turned out that Senior Sister Tang had come to the Spirit Spider Cave a long time ago. Did she make a special trip to meet him? Or is there another purpose?
When Wang Yuanting heard this, he realized that what he said before was in vain. He was really angry and angry: "Sister? Do you know who they are? How can you protect yourself in the world of cultivation if you are so gullible!"
Shen Qingxi pouted her little mouth coquettishly and called Yan Yueli softly: "Palace Master, look at him, he is so fierce!"
Yan Yueli had a smile in her eyes. The two of them had decided that she needed to be involved in the kiss, so she took Ji Beichen's hand and walked back with a smile.
When Shen Qingxi saw that no one was supporting her, her tone immediately softened. She pouted her lips and called softly: "Yuan Ting..."
As soon as these two words came out, Wang Yuanting's heart suddenly softened. It was better to get out of the cave first: "Okay, okay, it's just a small demon pill. Let's go back to the Lihun Valley quickly to avoid any trouble again." .”
After Wang Yuanting finished speaking, he pulled Shen Qingxi out of the cave with a cold face. When Shen Qingxi caught up with Yan Yueli, the two looked at each other, smiled, and playfully stuck out their tongues at each other!
Seeing their happy faces, Ji Beichen couldn't help but think of an old friend he hadn't seen for a long time, and wondered how he was doing in Wangyou Ridge...
