As the night gets darker, more and more snow accumulates on the wasteland.
In an underground snow cave, an unexpected encounter was followed by a short and straightforward killing.
Mu Qing killed the person who was attacking from behind with one sword. He turned his sword and pointed at the old man who was slumped on the ground not far away and said, "Is this how you treat your niece?"
The old man put his hands on the ground and moved his body backwards with a look of shock on his face. In just one breath, he became the only person alive here.
The old man turned his gaze and quickly said to Bai Qingyi who was behind Mu Qing: "Miss, you have to believe Uncle Jiu, I didn't expect that they would suddenly attack you. It must be someone from the Gu family who secretly instigated them."
Bai Qingyi walked up to the old man calmly, stretched out his hand to help him up, and said: "Of course I believe Uncle Jiu, you are not only my father's sworn brother, but also my half master. If you wanted to harm me, you would have done it in the first place." You can take me and join the Gu family."
The old man's expression improved a lot, and he said with relief: "Miss, I wish you could remember."
Bai Qingyi glanced at the corpse on the ground and said, "Uncle Jiu has secretly won over many people for me over the years. This may be the problem."
The old man nodded and confessed: "The conditions we can offer can also be offered by the Gu family, and they are even ten times or a hundred times better than this. I was negligent."
Bai Qingyi said: "Uncle Jiu, I have figured out something these days."
The old man asked: "What's the matter?"
Bai Qingyi said: "We want to be on the Gu family's territory, and it's difficult to gather forces that can fight them, so I decided to give up."
The old man looked at Bai Qingyi with complicated eyes and said, "I have actually guessed some of the young lady's thoughts."
Bai Qingyi turned sideways and looked at the deserted night pouring in from the entrance of the snow cave, with calm eyes, and said slowly: "You and I are the only ones in Juye City who know where the things my father left behind are. Uncle Jiu took them all before he left Beihuang. Take it away, this can be considered as my niece’s gratitude to you for so many years.”
The old man frowned and said, "Miss, are you really going to give up?"
Bai Qingyi shook his head: "As long as I am alive, I will not give up revenge, but I don't want others to die for me. Uncle Jiu, can you understand?"
The old man didn't answer. He glanced at Mu Qing and said, "Miss, if you go separately, you may have a better chance of escaping."
Bai Qingyi looked away, looked at the old man's serious look, smiled and said, "Uncle Ninth, let's go quickly and leave Beihuang."
"Why……"
The old man slowly walked past Mu Qing and walked straight towards the exit. When he was about to leave, he paused slightly and said, "Miss, there are many casual cultivators ahead of you, so be extremely careful!"
Bai Qingyi said: "Uncle Jiu, don't worry, I will rest here for a while before going on the road."
The old man left the snow cave. Bai Qingyi watched the old man's figure completely disappear into the night, turned around and asked, "Don't you ask me why?"
Mu Qing looked at Bai Qingyi who looked lonely and said, "We have given him a chance. If he doesn't cherish it, I won't give you face again next time we meet."
Bai Qingyi glared at Mu Qing with a strange expression, turned around and walked towards the depths of the snow cave, saying: "Instead of waiting, why not come and help me a little."
Soon, under the leadership of Bai Qingyi, Mu Qing saw a large number of accompanying stones arranged according to a certain pattern.
"When I first saw you setting up this formation, I silently memorized it. Although it has been used to deal with Gutong, the accompanying stone is only half of the one here. Can you come and see for me if this works?"
Bai Qingyi led Mu Qing to walk among the accompanying piles of rocks. As her footsteps fell, the formation patterns on the ground connected together in bursts of flashes.
Bai Qingyi led Mu Qing to the center of the formation, pointed at his masterpiece, raised his eyebrows and said, "How is it?"
Mu Qing's face twitched and he said: "If Gu Ying dares to stand where we are now for more than one breath, he will probably die."
Mu Qing finally couldn't help but asked: "Have you prepared these for a long time?"
"Yes." Bai Qingyi glanced at him and then turned his head. His eyes began to roam among the lighted formations on the ground and said, "After I come out, I will start preparing."
Mu Qing felt a little distressed for no reason.
Bai Qingyi said: "So you have suspected Uncle Jiu from that time?"
Bai Qingyi shook his head and smiled: "No. Even now...as long as he doesn't lead the Gu family to arrest me, I am willing to believe him. I said that Gu Yuan will find me, and they want to use a wave of Another wave of human lives is coming to disgust us, why can’t we fight back?”
Mu Qing's eyes brightened slightly and he was about to speak, but he remembered something else and didn't know how to speak.
Bai Qingyi said: "You can say whatever you want."
Mu Qing said: "You have made a lot of preparations, but you..."
"But I want to give up my life casually, right?" Bai Qingyi forced a smile, stretched out her slender fingers, tapped the ground lightly and said: "This place is prepared for me to escape with you. But a lot of things went beyond my expectations and were of little use.”
Being able to seriously injure or even kill a master in the middle stage of mortal transformation was of little use in Bai Qingyi's eyes.
Because her goal has always been for Mu Qing to leave Beihuang safely.
When Bai Qingyi said this, he felt a little regretful and was silent for a moment before saying: "If you had not appeared at that time, Gu Yuan would have been seriously injured even if he had not died. Being able to awaken his bloodline three times, his weight in Gu Tian's heart is far higher than everyone thinks. "
Mu Qing said: "Is it worth it to trade your life for my safety?"
Bai Qingyi pursed her lips and smiled: "I have embarked on a dead end. Since I will die sooner or later, it is also a good thing to be able to help you. Don't have too much burden on your heart."
Mu Qing sighed heavily in his heart and said: "Until now, you still refuse to believe what I said. The problems in your consciousness can really be solved."
Bai Qingyi said with a self-deprecating smile: "During this period, I don't know how many methods I have tried, but they all failed in the end. My own situation is the clearest. In order to pursue the realm, I blindly let go of the restraints to feel the energy of chaos. The sea of consciousness has been gradually stolen by it, and it has already lost its stability and is not far from complete collapse."
Mu Qing knew that if he didn't tell Bai Qingyi clearly at this moment, Bai Qingyi would still think of sacrificing himself at any time in the future.
Mu Qing stood in front of Bai Qingyi, grabbed her shoulders, and said sincerely: "Ye Yun is trapped, and her consciousness is also severely damaged. She may never wake up, but don't you think she is fine?"
Bai Qingyi snorted: "She is indeed very good and runs very fast."
"Huh?" Mu Qing opened his eyes wide, and just as he was mentally preparing to tell Bai Qingyi the solution, he was choked back.
Mu Qing calmed down his weird mood and was about to speak again, but Bai Qingyi's attention had already turned elsewhere. She looked behind her in the direction from which she came, and said in a solemn voice: "They came very quickly."
At the entrance of the snow cave, the old man looked at the young man in front of him and said nervously: "You promised me that you would not kill the lady."
Gu Yuan glanced sideways at the old man and ignored him, but Gu Tong, who had won the victory, taunted him: "You have already led people to ambush her once, why do you want to keep her? Let her hate you after knowing the truth?"
The old man's face twitched, and he felt bitter in his heart, and said: "I understood who owns Beihuang earlier than the young lady. Since she is willing to let go of the past, I naturally hope that she lives, and I also hope that the young master can remember his promise to me."
"Don't worry, once the location of the treasure house is confirmed, you will become the Lord of Juye City." Gu Yuan said expressionlessly.
The old man nodded repeatedly: "Thank you, young master, thank you, young master."
Gu Yuan looked at the old man's groveling appearance, frowned in disgust, and asked: "Did she really tell you that she is willing to let go of her past hatred?"
The old man lowered his head and said in a deep voice: "Yes, the lady just told me herself."
When Gu Yuan heard the old man's answer, his eyes became playful. After a brief moment of silence, he said, "Let's go."
"Huh?" The old man raised his head, looked at Gu Yuan with a puzzled face and asked, "What do you mean, young master?"
Gu Yuan said impatiently: "Go as far away as I tell you. You can go to Juye City now and wait for the appointment of the city lord."
The old man left quickly.
Gu Tong watched the old man go away with a bit of envy in his heart, and sighed: "The young master has done well for that woman, but that woman doesn't know what is good and what is good. She really deserves to be taught a lesson."
Down. ”jj.br>
Gu Yuan looked at Gu Tong expressionlessly.
Gu Tong realized that he had made a mistake and quickly got down to business, "Young Master, Gu Ying and the others are almost here, should we wait?"
Gu Yuan shook his head: "No wait."
"Since the three old men did not appear inside before Mu Qing and the others as agreed, it is even more impossible for them to appear now."
Gu Tong's face looked a little ugly: "These people are all greedy for life and afraid of death."
Gu Yuan glanced at the sky in the distance and said: "Perhaps they are in a similar situation to my father, and it is not necessarily the case that they were stopped by someone who suddenly appeared."
Gu Tong opened his mouth, extremely curious in his heart who could stop Gu Tian. He could only try to endure it and reminded: "Young Master, you have not completely released the forbidden technique in your heart. Be careful of being taken advantage of by that woman."
Gu Yuan raised his eyebrows and heard some probing meaning behind the words, and said: "I won't go in, just go in and take a look."
Gu Tong's heart skipped a beat: "Am I alone?"
Gu Yuan said: "You are right to remind me, I really should not be threatened by that woman again."
Gu Tong's expression was stiff and he wanted to tell Gu Yuan directly. He was unwilling to wait for the rest of the Gu family. He was giving the other party, especially the woman Bai Qingyi, a chance.
Gu Yuan said: "I can feel her breath deep underground. Do you know what this means?"
Gu Tong said in a deep voice: "This woman is a ruthless character. They fled all the way and suddenly were no longer afraid. They must be here to prepare a counterattack."
Gu Yuan nodded with satisfaction: "That's right, so thank you for your hard work. I will go out to help you."
