The evening reflects on the sky, and the glow dyes the sky.
The five-person team set out at night and traveled for a full day.
Among the five people, Lin Beichen, the three with advanced cultivation, did not feel tired, but Cang Xuanzi and Shuang'er were a little unbearably sleepy.
"Brother, where are we going? Shuang'er is a little tired."
Shuang'er drooped her little head and talked nonchalantly. She no longer had the liveliness and agility of the past.
Seeing this, Lin Beichen could only say a few words of helpless comfort, then looked at Long Aotian aside and asked, "How far are we from the Insulation Valley now?"
After hearing this, Long Aotian clenched his chin and thought for a while before replying: "According to our current traveling speed, we should not be able to arrive until noon tomorrow."
Seeing Shuang'er's somewhat languid expression and the tired look on senior Cang Xuanzi's old face, Lin Beichen felt helpless in his heart.
After pondering for a while, he smiled bitterly and said to a few people: "In this case, I think it's getting late, so let's rest here for one night and wait until tomorrow before setting off again. In this case, it will be evening when we arrive at Insulation Valley. With the cover of night, we might be able to avoid the Thundering Eagle, and the success rate should be much higher."
Even though he was very eager to rush to the Insulation Valley as soon as possible and take a peek at the tomb of the legendary Xuan Dan Realm expert, he had to consider that the physical fitness of the two of them was not as energetic as his. , these two people are just ordinary people with no cultivation, and they are not capable of traveling without sleep.
In his heart, he has already regarded the two of them as friends, so he will not ignore them.
Later, Lin Beichen led a few people to an open space and lit a bonfire.
"Yin Jue, you should take a good rest tonight to regain your energy. I will be on duty tonight." Lin Beichen paused, with a heavy look on his face, and continued: "There may be a fierce battle tomorrow. When the time comes, I will fight with the Thunder Eagle, and senior Cang Xuanzi and Shuang'er will be entrusted to you to take care of them."
Since he broke through to the fifth level of Tianyin Realm, although he felt that his strength might be able to compete with the eighth level of Tianyin Realm, facing this kind of Thunder Eagle who is also the best in the same realm, he was also a little worried. Terrified.
He was not 100% sure that he could compete with it, but he was extremely sure that he could hold it back.
But when the time comes, Old Man Yin Jue needs to take good care of Cang Xuanzi and Shuang'er and avoid the area where the two are fighting. Otherwise, once the Thunder Eagle discovers that someone else has entered his territory, the Thunder Eagle may be able to survive the long battle. I stopped fighting with him next time and turned around to deal with a few people directly.
"Okay, even if I risk my life, I won't let senior Cang Xuanzi and Shuang'er get into trouble." The old man Yin Jue nodded solemnly.
Cang Xuanzi is a senior he admires very much. Even though his strength is not what it used to be, the respect in his heart has not disappeared.
What's more, at this moment, several people are firmly tied together because of Lin Beichen's presence.
In his heart, he already regarded Cang Xuanzi as friends.
He has been alone throughout his life, but has never experienced the feeling of a friend, which makes him cherish this hard-won emotion.
It was late at night, and the quiet atmosphere spread throughout the forest.
The four people except Lin Beichen were already asleep, and Lin Beichen was sitting cross-legged next to the bonfire, closing his eyes and relaxing.
Suddenly, Lin Beichen suddenly opened his eyes and looked sharply at somewhere in the darkness, his brows furrowed tightly.
As Lin Beichen looked, a fire lit up in the dark forest, and then he heard a burst of hurried footsteps.
"damn it!"
Vaguely, an angry scolding came from deep in the forest.
At first, Lin Beichen didn't pay much attention, but when he heard the footsteps approaching them, he suddenly couldn't sit still.
"Coming for us?"
Lin Beichen frowned and immediately stood up, looking ready.
At the same time, several people who were sleeping also noticed Lin Beichen's movements and woke up one after another.
"Master Lin, what's wrong?"
Old man Yin Jue asked first, but as soon as he finished speaking, he also frowned tightly and looked along Lin Beichen's line of sight.
The remaining people looked cautiously at the place where the fire appeared in the forest.
"Someone is coming, and it seems they are coming towards us." Lin Beichen took a deep breath and said with a sullen face: "Yin Jue, if anything goes wrong later, you will protect Senior Cang Xuanzi and the others. Shuang'er. As for Brother Long, just come with me to face the enemy."
After hearing Lin Beichen's instructions, the two of them nodded.
Long Aotian immediately took a step forward and stood with Lin Beichen, while old man Yin Jue protected Cang Xuanzi and the two of them stepped back tens of meters.
It's not that a few people are too cautious, but that where they go now hides great opportunities.
Any cultivator would salivate over the tomb of a powerful person in the Xuandan Realm, even to the point of going crazy.
They knew very well how much shock it would cause if word got out.
Lin Beichen took a deep breath and looked at Long Aotian aside. After pondering for a moment, he asked: "In addition to telling us and Ruan Ping about this copper piece, you also told others Did you say that?”
After hearing this, Long Aotian suddenly showed a wry smile and said: "I'm not a fool, how could I talk about such things casually. If I hadn't been strong enough and not afraid of the Thunder Eagle, I would have done it myself If we go forward, we won’t find any partners at all.”
After hearing this, Lin Beichen felt a little relieved. From this point of view, this person is not necessarily coming for them, maybe it is just a coincidence.
But the approaching fire in the forest and the hurried footsteps undoubtedly did not mean that the person who suddenly appeared was coming for them.
Just as several people were waiting, a figure slowly emerged from the darkness in the forest.
Wearing gorgeous clothes, he was probably around 27 or 28 years old, but what shocked Lin Beichen was that this man looked somewhat similar to the green-robed young man he had killed with a sword before.
"Did you come here for revenge?"
Lin Beichen was secretly frightened, because he could clearly sense the terrifying aura emanating from this handsomely dressed young man.
The ninth level of Tianyin Realm!
However, although he was shocked at this time, his expression did not show any abnormality.
"Fellow Taoist, what's the matter with you?" Lin Beichen asked with a frown, but his words were still slightly polite and he kept his face calm.
But we can't let this person know that he was the one who killed Ruan Ping.
He could feel that the person who suddenly appeared was very strong. Although he was not afraid, he would run away if he couldn't defeat him.
But at this moment, he is not alone. There are still several people who need to be protected. If he fights with the person in front of him, he will also have a headache.
However, the young man in fine clothes who suddenly appeared did not pay attention to Lin Beichen's questions. Instead, he walked directly in front of Lin Beichen and Long Aotian and looked at Lin Beichen and Long Aotian carefully up and down.
Lin Beichen frowned tightly, a coldness flashed deep in his eyes. Such an offensive behavior really made him feel unhappy.
But he didn't show it at the moment, with a casual look on his face.
At the same time, Long Aotian was filled with fear when he was looking at the young man in colorful clothes, and the back of his clothes was already wet.
Although he was extremely frightened, he was trying hard to keep his face calm at this moment.
Naturally, he also saw that this person had some similarities with his previous collaborator, Ruan Ping.
The young man in rich clothes turned towards the Yin Jue people behind them, but after discovering that the old man Yin Jue was only at the fourth level of Tianyin realm, and that the two people beside him had no cultivation at all, he withdrew his gaze.
"What are you doing at night?" The young man in fine clothes said calmly, but his eyes inadvertently glanced at Lin Beichen and the two of them.
Just when Lin Beichen didn't know how to answer, Long Aotian on the side said: "We are going to Longxiang City."
But even with his best efforts to conceal it, there was still an unavoidable tremor in his voice.
Seeing the abnormality of Long Aotian, a chill flashed in the eyes of the young man in Chinese clothes, and he said coldly: "You seem to be afraid of me?"
As soon as these words came out, Yin Jue and others' hearts suddenly rose to their throats, and they all did not dare to take a big breath.
Lin Beichen's eyes gradually narrowed, his right palm was hidden behind his back, and the meridians in his body were secretly running at this moment.
Once this person who suddenly appeared showed any sign of taking action, he would take action without hesitation.
The atmosphere was tense for a moment.
Long Aotian also knew that there was something unusual in some of his words. He rolled his eyes and immediately followed the words of the young man in Chinese clothes and replied: "Oh, senior, you were joking. You said it was late at night in this barren mountain. Suddenly, If a strong man with such great strength appears, who wouldn’t be afraid?”
"Is this really the case?" The young man in Chinese clothes asked dubiously.
At that moment, he kept scanning Lin Beichen and the others. Suddenly, he saw Shuang'er hiding behind Cang Xuanzi, with only a small head exposed.
The young man in colorful clothes suddenly had an idea, and the corners of his mouth curved, and then he showed a kind expression. He walked towards Shuang'er and asked: "Kid, have you ever seen a big brother wearing green clothes?"
As soon as these words came out, several people looked at Shuang'er nervously, fearing that Shuang'er would tell the story directly.
Shuang'er felt the eyes of several people moving towards her, and immediately hid behind Cang Xuanzi in fear, timidly saying: "I...I don't know."
Seeing that Shuang'er didn't say anything, Lin Beichen and others secretly breathed a sigh of relief.
"Don't be afraid. The big brother in green clothes abducted my brother's sister. My brother wants to find this person." The young man in Chinese clothes tried hard to keep the kindness on his face and said in a persuasive manner.
"He...he is dead, but I didn't see your sister."
Shuang'er's voice was not loud, but it sounded like thunder in the ears of Lin Beichen and others.
However, just when Shuang'er finished saying this, a sword light pierced the sky and shot towards the young man in Chinese clothes!
"Leave this person to me, you run!"
