"Of course you don't understand." He suddenly turned around and smiled softly, "Besides, there is no need to understand. You just need to understand that as long as I am the Holy Envoy for a day, Jiuche Xiaoying's pace will be slowed down for a day."
"You..." There seemed to be a ray of anger in Ying Gu's eyes, but it only passed away for a moment and soon returned to calm.
"I shouldn't have interfered with the matter between you and the Shadow Master." He turned around, not interested in standing here with Xi Zishi anymore.
Xi Zishi looked back at him, but remained silent without saying a word.
The shadow's back was getting further and further away from him. The moment he stepped into the city gate, Ying Gu suddenly stopped and finally said to him calmly: "But I will always be loyal to the Shadow Master. If necessary, you and I may one day go to war with each other."
Xi Zishi still didn't speak. After Yinggui said this, he left without looking back, leaving only the night sky, the boundless yellow sand, and the still standing figure of Xi Zishi.
"... Are you loyal to the Shadow Master..."
Looking in the direction of the city gate, the shadow skeleton had already disappeared.
Everything was blended by the gloom of the night, and his vision became increasingly unclear.
After being silent for a long time, he murmured alone: "...If there really comes a day when I am the one who goes to war with me, maybe it shouldn't be you."

The Jinji Fengjian venue was also shrouded in gloomy night.
After a whole day of martial arts duel, the two groups of martial arts have successfully advanced. The Dragon Halberd played against the Mingjiang Halberd in the morning, and it ended with a resounding victory for the Long Halberd. The Phoenix Halberd played against the Beggar's Halberd in the afternoon. Although the Phoenix Halberd lost for a while, it still advanced.
There is still tomorrow's Huagui Halberd against Zhenshan Halberd, and the first round of competition is over. The hearty duel that day made each faction spend a lot of effort and returned to their sects to recuperate and prepare for tomorrow's competition.
At this time, Fengji, Qingyan and others congratulated each other. This narrow victory was also thanks to the medicine given by Guizifang. The second round of competition is about to begin, and they cannot take it lightly.
After seeing off everyone at the banquet, Qingyan and a few confidants walked out of the door slowly.
In addition to the important task of fighting, they also have another important task in mind.
Since the previous letter was five days later, I shouldn’t be too anxious yet. But at this time, Qingyan and others have always had doubts.
Qingyan called out to everyone and wanted to continue discussing this issue with them.
Although I saw Guizifang in the tourist pavilion that day, there were so many people and I couldn't find a suitable opportunity to ask. Moreover, the Japanese letter stated that it would be five days later, so for him to ask in such a hurry would appear to be unwise and incompetent.
"Master, I thought about it. The five days mentioned in the letter happened to be when the Golden Halberd Fengjian was about to end. It seems that the Japanese made this appointment and had a deep meaning."
Walking to the outskirts of Fengji Sect, a confidant leaning next to Qingyan whispered.
Qingyan glanced at him and nodded slightly, but didn't take it seriously.
The reason why they are so entangled with the time after five days is because based on the previous preparations, it should not be such a late time. For example, the effectiveness of the last batch of Lichou Pills will end the day after tomorrow. If the action is not launched until the fourth day of Jinji Fengjian, it will cause a lot of trouble, and so on.
What's more, the purpose of this operation is to wipe out the seven factions and other forces in one fell swoop, which is so huge. If we act on the last day, it would be a pity if the three religions and others have already left and let the birds return to the forest.
Qingyan has been thinking about it for the past two days, but has never understood the reason. But it was an order and he had to obey it.
Other confidants also talked about their opinions at this time, but they were difficult to establish, or Qingyan had already thought of it. After listening for a while, he felt a loud noise in his ears, and his brows knitted together in dissatisfaction.
"That's enough." He suddenly waved his hand to stop them from talking.
Seeing that he was unhappy, his confidants hurriedly covered their mouths, and the various situations were like frightened birds, which was a bit funny.
Qingyan looked around them and spent some time in silence.
The obscurity of the clouds twists the reluctant wind. The wind in the dark night gradually became moist, and it felt soft but not comfortable on my face.
"I have decided. Tomorrow at the Golden Halberd Fengjian Conference, I will find an opportunity to personally question the Ghost Master." He finally made such a decision and announced it to everyone without hesitation.
Everyone among the confidants looked at each other. Although they were a little embarrassed, they all breathed a sigh of relief.
Suddenly, at this moment, there was an undisguised sound of horse hooves coming from outside the Fengji Sect. Qingyan and others all raised their heads and looked outside, wondering who came to Fengji so late.
The galloping horse was very fast, and it didn't take long to arrive at the gate of Feng Ji. Just as the horseman was about to rush in, he was stopped by Qing Yan and others who had just reached the door.
"What's going on? Is Fengji a place where you can ride in and out at will?" A person behind Qingyan shouted to the visitor on horseback.
The person on the horse was seen wearing a bamboo hat with a gauze curtain on his head. He obviously didn't want them to see his true identity. But Qingyan then saw the clothes the man was wearing, which were the uniform uniforms of the Jade Faced Rakshasa Halberd Sect.
His heart tightened, and he quickly stepped forward to greet him personally: "Are you the messenger of the Jade-faced Rakshasa Halberd? It's really disappointing to meet him from afar."
Seeing the change in the leader's attitude, everyone behind him immediately did not dare to do anything to the man, and they all became respectful.
The black gauze curtain makes it more difficult to identify the true face of the visitor in the dark night. The high-spirited horse stands firmly and erect, with a hint of disdain.
