In the center of the inner city, chaotic forces intertwined.
Mu Qing stood in the air. Under his control, the Demon Suppressing Sword had traveled through the rock flow many times. Unfortunately, he had not found the monster yet.
"boom--"
There was a muffled sound in the rock flow, and the Demon-Suppressing Sword finally caught the trace of the monster and rushed towards it, but failed to leave the opponent behind.
Perhaps feeling a real fatal threat, the monster's voice became much shriller: "Bai Hao is dead, and I haven't hurt anyone around you so far. How about we stay on the same page?"
Mu Qing focused on the sword, lowered his eyes slightly and said with a smile: "Xiao Hei, why don't you call yourself Master Hei?"
The monster was silent for a while, but Mu Qing's sword had locked onto it at this moment. With a bang, it rolled up the rock flow and hit it directly.
"Shameless human being, you are so abominable!"
The monster was furious and desperately burrowed deeper into the rock flow.
The hot rock flow will weaken the ability of perception. The deeper you go, the harder it becomes for Mu Qing to control the demon-suppressing sword. In order not to lose the trace of the monster and sink, he has to plunge into the rock flow.
The monster felt Mu Qing's determination and cursed again and again. The chaotic blood energy and karma in the world collided with Mu Qing.
After Mu Qing broke through these layers of obstacles, the Demon Suppressing Sword lost all traces of the monster again and returned to his hand.
"Master Mu Qing."
A call came from far away.
Mu Qing turned around and looked, surprised: "What are you doing here?"
Cao Jin stopped outside the mixed power, carefully glanced at the bubbling rock flow on the ground, and said in a low voice: "The power here is too chaotic, I will keep the story short."
"It seems you have found the trick to deal with this monster?"
Mu Qing nodded slightly, but he did not forget that this was Cao Jin's reminder.
Cao Jin's silver-white eyebrows twitched and he sighed softly: "Hey, this is good news, but our family is afraid that this monster has merged a lot of Bai Hao's memories. If it is pushed into a hurry, it will do whatever it takes to cause chaos. Come."
Mu Qing naturally knew what would happen if the monster was cornered. Murong Jing and Huaifeng Hua almost died in the fire not long ago. Mu Qing was still frightened, but because of this, he had to get rid of this serious danger.
Mu Qing looked coldly at Cao Jin, who seemed to be about to run away at any time, and said, "You came here specifically to express your goodwill to me, and you just said these useless words? What other secrets do you know about Bai Hao?"
Mu Qing had already asked this question himself, and Cao Jin stopped hesitating and reminded bluntly: "Bai Hao has been studying the underground world of the inner city these years. He once said that the fire veins underground in Suzaku City have already He is becoming more and more active, and if he really wakes up, the city will be destroyed and everyone will die."
Mu Qing's eyebrows were raised, a little sullen. Could it be that the city was destroyed and people were destroyed?
Seeing that Mu Qing was a little inexplicably angry, Cao Jin quickly explained: "I mean the entire Suzaku City! Now the Peng behind you has discovered that compared to the entire inner city, it is simply dwarfed. Bai Hao only had He planned to sacrifice the people in the inner city, so he imitated the work of his predecessors and burned part of the suppression formation in other locations."
As if in response to what Cao Jin said, an unusually clear "click" sound sounded behind Mu Qing.
He looked up and saw that the rock flow that was originally almost flat with the ground had risen a lot. You must know that this was originally a huge pit.
But the most eye-catching thing was not this change. I saw a crack in the ground several feet wide suddenly appeared not far away. At this time, it had even spread to Mu Qing's body. Under his gaze, it was uncontrollable. The ground collapsed and stretched into the distance.
Along with this huge crack in the ground, the rock flow quickly spurted into the air like blood, and under the ground that had not yet cracked, a series of muffled sounds sounded like exploding soybeans.
It was like a hard creaking sound like the rotten hinge of an old door.
Cao Jin's expression immediately changed: "Master Mu Qing, I'm leaving first."
"Why--"
Mu Qing raised his head and looked at Cao Jin. At this time, Cao Jin's back had become a small dot in the distance.
The depression in Mu Qing's heart could not be relieved.
Even if he knew that the inner city was a volcanic crater, what if it was about to erupt in full force? Would he still be able to turn the tide and stop it?
In the distance, he seemed to be worried that if he left like this, the secret of thunder would be getting further and further away from him. While recovering, Cao Jin shouted: "You really don't blame me for not reminding you earlier. I just thought of it." This, after all, was strong enough before."
"Boom boom——"
Probably because the underground fire veins were too noisy to Cao Jin, seven or eight huge cracks collapsed in an instant. The rock flows that had already been pushed up were connected together, and the vast, dark ground seemed to be random. The swaying waves, after reaching a peak, surged out and spurted out a pillar of magma that was no less than the size of the center of the city lord's palace.
Mu Qing knew that if he wanted to prevent the inner city from completely collapsing into purgatory, he had to find the monster. Without hesitation, he held the Demon Suppressing Sword and rushed into the new rock flow.
"Hehe, how brave. Aren't you the new city lord? There will be no more Suzaku City in the future. I think you are calling a shitty city lord."
The monster felt that it had regained the upper hand in the situation, deliberately taunted him, and then followed the digested information and rushed further away.
…
The area where the inner city and the outer city meet.
When the south gate was knocked down, a large number of refugees piled up here. During this period, groups of Guardsmen could be seen struggling to maintain order and evacuate the people.
Xing Fei walked up to an attic tiredly and sighed softly when he saw two figures by the window.
The two women turned around, nodded towards Xing Fei, and then their eyes fell on Cao Jin behind him.
Before Huaifenghua opened her mouth, Cao Jin took the initiative and said: "Don't worry, he is very strong, and he is almost overwhelming the monster. But unfortunately, the complete fall of the inner city is a foregone conclusion, so we should make plans in advance."
Xing Fei looked at Huaifenghua: "It's better to ask Brother Mu Qing to come back. He has already done too much."
Huaifenghua frowned slightly: "Bai Hao's example is just before. He probably wants to avoid future troubles. Commander Xing should evacuate the nearby people first."
Now at the window, you only need to raise your head slightly to see the low ashes soaked in the night.
It was a continuous volcanic ash that had spread over. As they were talking, the volcanic ash spread far away.
Several people were on the second floor, and the curses, cries, and panic intertwined into a rumbling wail that no one could hear clearly, and kept rushing into the window.
At this time, there was no need for anyone to stand up and remind the people. In those places near the inner city, many people left their homes in panic. At this moment, order had completely collapsed.
And everyone knows that this situation will continue to get worse.
After all, compared to the inner city that the Guards have been guarding, the outer city has a larger and more complex population. It has become a cold and rigid delusion to rely solely on the Guards to maintain order.
But even though he knew this was the case, even though his legs were filled with lead, Xing Fei was still leading the Guards, trying his best to change the chaotic order bit by bit.
Xing Fei now really wished that he could be divided into eight people. After Huai Fenghua mentioned it, he sincerely persuaded the two women to leave. After receiving no more rejection, he could only leave helplessly.
In the room, Cao Jin looked at the two women with solemn faces, cupped their hands, and left silently.
"I have something to do."
Huaifenghua suddenly said, she turned to look at Murong Jing's pale profile: "Don't make everyone worry."
Murong Jing curled her lips, looked sideways and asked, "What are you going to do? Go help Mu Qing?"
Huaifenghua smiled bitterly and said: "If I really had this ability, I would have gone a long time ago. But I promised Mu Qing to keep an eye on you. You can't mess around after I leave."
Murong Jing's beautiful eyebrows moved, "When did I get into trouble? Just go if you have something to do. Just don't do anything stupid."
Huaifenghua's eyes moved lightly, looking at Murong Jing with a calm face, she sighed softly in her heart.
She could persuade Ning Chu Shaoyao as a senior teacher, or she could persuade Wang Yeqing as a friend, but no matter what identity she used, she seemed unable to persuade Murong Jing.
So the relationship between the two is very strange now.
They got closer because they were the same person, and because of their concern for each other, they restricted each other's behavior.
Once she leaves, who knows what Murong Jing will do?
Seeing Huaifenghua's silence, Murong Jing looked over strangely, "When did you get so entangled? Don't you understand that if I really want to take action, who can stop me?"
Murong Jing's words reminded Huaifenghua and made her more sure of her thoughts.
She handed a sachet to Murong Jing, "This is a specially made sachet so that I can find you more easily."
Murong Jing rolled her eyes. She just wanted to leave quickly with Fenghua in her arms. After taking it, she said, "There are so many things, so that's okay."
Huaifenghua smiled when she heard this, and jumped out of the window the next moment.
Murong Jing tilted her head and listened for a moment, then raised her slender eyebrows: "Are you really going to find that guy? Hey, it seems that I have to take action myself."
Murong Jing squinted towards the direction of the inner city. At this level, not only seeing further, the most important thing was to view the situation through the growth and consumption of various forces in the world.
Her frown never dissipated. She seemed to have remembered something and whispered angrily: "Didn't we agree last time? Why, do you like being a lone warrior so much?"
Murong Jing also disappeared by the window.
Cao Jin, who was walking in a certain alley at the moment, was slightly startled, and then stood still in place.
By the Qingxi River, Jiang Shangxiu's residence temporarily became a gathering place for people from all walks of life in Hidden Valley.
After Qinglong left Dugu Wei's room, he walked straight towards Murong Yun who was standing at the door.
Murong Yun looked at the Qingxi River with clear eyes, without turning around, and said softly: "You want me to take action?"
The gaze behind the Qinglong mask fell on Murong Yun's profile without wavering: "Isn't it right?"
When Murong Yun heard this, he chuckled and said, "You are still the Qinglong I know, which is good."
Qinglong narrowed his eyes: "Did you reach something with Zhang Lu? That's why you have been unwilling to take action."
Murong Yun had the best personality back then. Whether it was Jiang Shangxiu or Yinsha, he had established a relatively friendly relationship with them. This was actually an important reason why he could become the Valley Master.
But today, meeting again after more than ten years, Qinglong felt that Murong Yun had changed a lot, becoming just like his brother, silent and cold.
Maybe this is their bloodline trait?
Murong Yun did not respond to his question. Qinglong didn't know why, but stood on the stone steps at the door, lost in thought. It wasn't until Murong Yun took the initiative to leave the door that he attracted his attention.
"Master Huai Gu?"
Looking at the figure falling not far away, Qinglong's heart moved, and he felt an inexplicable emotion towards Murong Yun for no reason.
Murong Yun had been standing at the door, was he waiting for Huaifenghua to appear?
Qinglong stood there, frowning in disgust at the thought.
"How is the situation in Dugu Wei?"
Huaifenghua saw the green dragon at the door and nodded in greeting from a distance.
"His condition has stabilized."
Qinglong sighed in his heart. Now he had a little respect for the women around Mu Qing, and admired their perseverance in the chaos. As a result, the more he felt this way, the more he couldn't help but think about it. He had to step forward and tell Huaifenghua not to agree to Murong Yun's request later.
But, will things really turn out as bad as he expected?
Murong Yun walked up to Huaifenghua, his gaze fell firmly on Huaifenghua's face, and he waited quietly for Huaifenghua to finish the conversation with Qinglong.
He really liked the woman in front of him.
In the stone room, the four seasons change, the cold and heat flow, and the gold flows. Fortunately, she is still her.
At some point, Huaifenghua raised her head and asked, "Let's take a walk?"
Murong Yun's eyes flickered and he looked at Huaifenghua's face. She was probably in a hurry. Her fair forehead was covered with a thin layer of sweat, her cheeks were a little red, and her messy hair stuck to the corners of her eyes. It was like a picture he had imagined.
So he subconsciously raised his hand.
Huaifenghua frowned slightly, took a step back slightly, tucked her black hair behind her ears, and looked at him inexplicably.
"Hey, I'm sorry, I lost my temper."
Murong Yun felt extremely complicated.
Huaifenghua pursed her lips, shook her head, and took the initiative to walk to the river.
The cool river breeze blows on the face, making people gradually calm down and rational.
Huaifenghua looked at the river going away, was silent for a moment, and then asked: "You should have guessed why I came to find you, right?"
Murong Yun followed her step by step, nodded, and said softly: "Yes...Actually, I have been waiting for you."
Huaifenghua stopped and turned around. A pair of beautiful eyes looked directly into Murong Yun's eyes. Murong Yun did not avoid her gaze.
"Then how about you take action and I become a Taoist couple with you?"
Not far away, the flowing river seemed a little quieter, and the dead willows in late autumn were messy in the night, just like her withered heart at the moment.
The lines on Murong Yun's face didn't move at all, and he looked at her silently without answering. It wasn't until Huaifenghua lowered her head that she asked softly: "You don't like me, right?"
Huaifenghua left him with a beautiful profile face, looking at the river in a daze: "You knew it a long time ago."
Murong Yun nodded and took a step back. This action eased the tense atmosphere between the two, "Yes, I know, so is it worth it for you to do this now? That Mu Qing is your sister's son." , he is also that person’s son, right?”
Murong Yun's voice was unusually depressed.
Huaifenghua looked at Murong Yun apologetically, "I have been reluctant to come to you because I know that I owe you a lot from the beginning..."
Murong Yun interrupted directly: "You don't owe me anything. I've learned a lot recently. My elder brother has suppressed Wanhua Valley a lot over the years. What you got from me has been paid back in double."
"That's not how it was calculated." Huaifenghua lowered her head and said softly: "Even if you do nothing, you have already solved the problem for us, otherwise our current situation will be even worse."
"We, we, you keep talking about us, you never seem to think about yourself."
Murong Yun's voice was rarely tempered.
A sigh came out of Huaifenghua's red lips: "Maybe, I can feel your sincerity towards me, but... just think of me as a bad woman who goes beyond the limits. The condition just now..."
Murong Yun said coldly: "I don't agree."
Somehow, Huaifenghua felt relieved, but along with it came worries about the current corrupt situation.
Murong Yun looked at the woman who was hesitant to speak again, and said proactively: "I can take action, but the conditions must change."
Huaifenghua nodded directly.
Murong Yun let out a long sigh, turned around and looked towards the river.
"One, after this matter is settled, I will prepare a temporary sect and you will be the sect leader."
One naturally leads to another. Huaifenghua did not speak immediately.
Murong Yun was silent for a moment and said quietly: "I am actually the one who takes advantage of others. It has been so long. You should try to forget about that person and empty your heart."
Huaifenghua was speechless, but before she could speak, Murong Yun disappeared by the river.
