When they returned to Dongzhou City, it was already dawn. Yang Dong led Lu Yibai and Li Huanzhen to find Qi Yuankai. Qi Yuankai was bringing Wan Changsheng, Chai Jing and other disciples to bless the formation.

After listening to Yang Dong describe the situation they encountered deep in Cuiyun Mountain, Qi Yuankai looked solemn.

"Senior Brother Qi, this corpse chaos is no longer something we can solve. We need to report back to the master and ask for a palm-level master!"

Lu Yibai frowned and said.

"That's all we can do for now," Qi Yuankai looked at the corpses they brought back and agreed with a solemn expression.

Afterwards, everyone discussed and decided that Wan Changsheng would rush back to Xuanji and ask the sect masters to come and help, while the rest of the people would continue to defend Dongzhou City.

Soon after hearing the news, Xie Minghan, the king of Dongping, came to identify the body. When he saw his daughter's body, he couldn't help but burst into tears.

For several days after Xuanji's disciples brought back the female corpse, no trace of zombies was found around Dongzhou. That day, Wan Changsheng returned, and with him came Mu Donglai, Zhangfeng of the Refining Peak, and Zhao Jinyan, the Zhangfeng of Quming Peak. , the actions of the two palm-level masters doubled the confidence of everyone in Xuanji.

The night was getting darker that day, and when darkness descended on Dongzhou, a large city in the east of the Xuanrong Empire, a cold moon appeared in the sky, spreading its clear brilliance to the earth.

Li Huan was really sitting cross-legged and gathering energy. The Xuanji disciples around him had all entered a dormant state of gathering energy. In a daze, he only felt a figure flashing past the door.

Li Huanzhen felt strange. It was so late at night, and a figure appeared inexplicably. He climbed up lightly and walked to the door. He saw a blurry figure in the cold moonlight, and the figure jumped up into the distance. The roof floated to the south. He originally wanted to go back to sleep, but when he thought about it, he thought that this figure might be related to the zombies in the city. When he looked up, his curiosity got the better of him and he hurriedly chased after it.

He fled all the way, being cautious along the way. Neither he nor the figure alerted the Xuanji law enforcement disciples patrolling the city. When he chased him to the foot of Cuiyun Mountain on the outskirts of the city, he could no longer see the shadow he had just seen. He could only see the shadow here under the cold moon. The clouds are floating lightly, like yarn and smoke, which is so beautiful.

However, after looking at it twice more, he had no intention of looking any further. He turned around and looked around, about to go back in the direction of Dongzhou City. Suddenly, his eyes noticed another mountain peak, amidst the misty clouds. , there was a slender figure walking forward, looking at the direction the man was walking, it seemed that he was heading towards the bamboo sea on the other side of the mountain.

Li Huanzhen stared blankly at that figure. Even though he was far away, he recognized it at a glance as Chai Jing, disciple of Master Wen Shuang of Feixue Peak.

The night is so deep!

Why did she appear alone in Cuiyun Mountain, and where was she going alone?

He turned his head, stared at the direction Chai Jing was going, walked there, and said to himself: "Li Huanzhen, mind your own business! Mind your own business!"

After walking for seven steps like this, the moonlight shone like water on Li Huanzhen, making him feel extremely lonely. Then he stopped and looked up at the sky, only to see a cold moon hanging on the horizon. There seemed to be movement in his mouth, and after a moment, he turned around quickly, gritted his teeth, and ran in the direction where the figure disappeared.

In just a moment, Chai Jing's figure disappeared into the sea of ​​bamboo, but Li Huazhen ran towards the bamboo bridge without looking anywhere else. Soon, he followed, and the mountain breeze blew, and the water on both sides of the Hongqiao rippled slightly, reflecting the moon in the sky, which was cold and beautiful, but Li Huazhen didn't care at all, and just controlled the zhenqi to leap forward.

In the sea of ​​bamboo, he still didn't see anyone's shadow, until he came to a lake, and suddenly felt lost in his heart. The cold moonlight illuminated the clear water pool as bright as day, and he saw only a beautiful figure. Standing beside the pool, staring at the sparkling water, lost in thought.

Li Huanzhen hid his figure in the grass. From the shadow, he secretly looked at Chai Jing at Yuqing Peak on the other side.

Under the moonlight, by the clear water, Chai Jing looked a little joyful and a little expectant, with her eyebrows lowered, and there seemed to be a faint brilliance in her eyes, as if she was longing for something, and she looked so beautiful. The mountain breeze was blowing, and the wind passed over the water and passed by her side. He also held his breath and stopped making noises, gently blowing her hair and lining her skin like snow.

"Junior sister." Suddenly, a call came from Hongqiao. Chai Jing suddenly turned around, her eyes were filled with joy in an instant, and a sincere smile appeared at the corner of her mouth.

"Senior Brother Qi, you are here."

Li Huanzhen turned around and saw a person walking quickly on the Hongqiao. He had sharp eyebrows and starry eyes. He was extremely handsome and had an outstanding bearing. He was Qi Yuankai, the second disciple of the Law Enforcement Peak.

I saw Qi Yuankai walking quickly to Chai Jing and saying warmly: "I'm sorry, Dongshan just found the traces of the Corpse King, so I came late. I kept you waiting for a long time."

Chai Jing was a little angry in her heart, but for some reason, as soon as she saw Qi Yuankai's figure, he disappeared without a trace. She shook her head and said with a smile: "It doesn't matter, I haven't been here long." After a pause, she looked He glanced at the pool next to him and said, "But why do you want to meet here? It's so eerie here, and I'm still a little scared."

Qi Yuankai smiled and said: "It doesn't matter, we are all disciples of the Immortal family. If there is any evil, we can do justice for heaven, right?"

Chai Jing's face turned red, she lowered her head and said, "I don't know if it's okay for us to meet each other secretly like this?"

Qi Yuankai looked at her gentle and beautiful face and said softly: "Junior sister, ever since we first met at Xuanji Peak, I have never forgotten you. I miss you so much that I often can't sleep at night, with your shadow in my mind."

Chai Jing bit her lip subconsciously and her face turned red again, but she didn't show any sign of anger. Instead, she felt a little sweet in her heart.

Qi Yuankai said again: "Junior sister, I"

Chai Jing suddenly raised her head and said: "Senior Brother Qi, you can just call me Jing'er." At this point, she suddenly lowered her head again and whispered: "Me, my father and my mother all call me that."

Qi Yuankai was overjoyed, as if he still didn't believe his ears, he hesitated before asking: "Is it true, Jing, Jing'er?"

Chai Jing glanced at him, reached into her arms and slowly took out a small brocade box. She lowered her eyes and looked at the ground. She seemed to have mustered up the courage to whisper: "This 'Feiyun Pei', I have two I've been carrying it with me all these years."

After she said this, she didn't dare to look at Qi Yuankai anymore. Unexpectedly, after a long time, Qi Yuankai didn't make any sound. Chai Jing felt strange and secretly raised her eyes to look at him. She saw Qi Yuankai's eyes were full of joy and his face was full of smiles. He was unspeakable. Happy look.

The two of them looked at each other for a long time, then suddenly opened their arms and hugged each other.

The moonlight shone coldly on them and in the woods, but it could not illuminate the dark corners.
