There is no distinction between night and day in the Mingyin Valley, only areas with deep fog and shallow fog.

After a brief rest, Mu Qing and his party, led by Wei Shengling, headed back into the depths of the mist.

Soon, they were approaching their destination. Wei Shengling looked at the remote cave she had walked through many times from a distance, and whispered: "I chose this place as the cave in the first place because there is only one internal mountain road that can be entered by outsiders. If you get close, you will be discovered."

Mu Qing looked ahead. Ying Zhu, a group of people who did not want to mix with Tantai Wenrui, obviously chose their place of survival very carefully, but no matter how hard they tried to prevent outsiders, they could not prevent the people inside from changing their minds.

Mu Qing could even guess that just when Tantai Wenrui's group surrounded him, a conflict broke out in Ying Zhu's place. From the results, it was obvious that the traitor among Ying Zhu's group had won a temporary victory.

Mu Qing said: "We didn't waste time. Tantai Wenrui shouldn't have time to move people away."

Gu Yinghe on the side frowned and said: "Judging from the traces found along the way, they didn't even try their best to search for our traces. If they expected that we would come back to rescue people and put all their energy on the layout here, then how could we save them?" It’s going to be very difficult for people.”

Mu Qing nodded and looked behind him. Ye Yun was staying with Zhu Hongyan and Lu Manqing. Zhe Qianqian took the initiative to take on the important task of escorting the others out of Mingyin Valley, and the vacancy in the Spirit Transformation Sword Formation will be filled by Ye Yun. The three girls are now trying their best to become familiar with each other's sword flow, so that they can cooperate later.

Sensing Mu Qing's gaze, Ye Yun asked, "Are we going to start?"

"Um."

Mu Qing originally wanted to tell her to be careful, but everyone came here because of his decision, so he said: "The beast tide was not used in the previous encirclement and suppression of us. They probably thought that it was enough to deal with us. We will be dealt with later." I'll open the way, and everyone should try to make as much noise as possible."

"...If you encounter a figure condensed in gray mist, remember to stay away."

After Mu Qing finished speaking, he exhaled a breath, stood up, and walked openly towards the entrance of the cave not far away.

Everyone did not follow him out immediately. Their eyes were focused on him. Seeing that he had stepped into the cave without encountering any obstruction, they quickly followed him.

The passage connecting the caves is not long. The stone wall with the formation at the end has been forcibly destroyed, and the inner space can be seen at a glance.

"Crack."

When the soles of Mu Qing's feet landed on the ground of the main hall, a group of people rushed out from the cave between the stone walls in the distance, and the leader was Tantai Wenrui.

Tantai Wenrui's eyes swept over Tantai Yangbing behind Mu Qing, fell on Mu Qing's face, and frowned: "You really dare to come to save people?"

Mu Qing looked at the people around Tantai Wenrui, raising his eyebrows slightly, feeling a little confused, but relaxed a little.

What Wei Shengling said is indeed true. There are not too many people who have accepted evolution. The number of people gathered around Tantai Wenrui now is around thirty, which is probably all of them.

But the strange thing is that Wei Sheng Lingyi and Tantai Jiaming are not here.

The two people next to Tantai Wenrui seem to have the strength of the middle stage of mortal transformation, but the strength of the others is around the early stage of mortal transformation. Their strength is not bad, but the spirit transformation sword array naturally restrains the abilities they obtained through evolution, so Mu Qing It is easy to judge the result - people like Tantai Wenrui alone cannot stop him.

So Mu Qing simply became a little more arrogant and said with a cold face: "You are no match for me. If I let him go now, no one will lose."

Tantai Wenrui didn't speak, but the rough man beside him pointed at Mu Qing and yelled: "You bastard! Nine of our brothers have died in your hands, I will make you suffer immediately!"

This person flashed and rushed towards Mu Qing without waiting for Tantai Wenrui to speak. Mu Qing glanced at Tantai Wenrui and stood there without moving. He only heard a sword cry of "呛啷" and a The shadow of a golden sword swept out from behind Mu Qing and faced him.

The man's face changed slightly when he saw the sword shadow. He already knew what it was from his companions, but he still didn't believe that the power of this bullshit sword formation could naturally restrain their strength. He shouted angrily and aimed at the flying sword with his palm. Take the photo.

"Bang."

The man's right hand collided directly with the sword shadow. The sword shadow dispersed instantly and turned into a dozen smaller sword shadows that wrapped around his wrist. The crazy attack caused flaws in his transformed figure, revealing the dark black long hair. Scaled claws.

After just one encounter, the man realized the power of this sword array. He was so shocked that he quickly raised his left hand, trying to forcefully smash the sword shadow wrapped around his arm.

At the same time, in the dark hall, the sword light shone through, and the shadows of the swords came first and then, no longer attacking one part of the man's body, but formed a storm of sword shadows covering the man's whole body in his breath.

Mu Qing watched this scene quietly, admiring in his heart.

Although Ye Yun has just cooperated with Zhu Hongyan and the two girls, because they are both sword cultivators, the flow of various power auras between this sword formation is more smooth and smooth, which is comparable to the spirit-changing sword formation led by him.

"ah--"

A frightened scream suddenly spread. The man who had been shouting just now was completely at a disadvantage and his life was in danger.

Tantai Wenrui immediately took action, slapping his palm and sending a jet of black ice straight towards Ye Yun.

As soon as he moved, the people standing around him started to move, and the target was the three women who launched the sword formation.

Mu Qing snorted coldly, took a step forward, held the Demon Suppressing Sword upside down with both hands, and thrust it into the ground. The blade of the sword penetrated three inches into the ground like slush.

With a joyful sword cry, scarlet sword intent poured into the ground like flowing water, shattering the ground into pieces. The resulting sword force directly blocked Mu Qing's attacks from Tantai Wenrui and others. In front of you.

But this sword momentum did not stop, and continued to move forward. When it swept in front of Tantai Wenrui, it spread completely, forming a scarlet sword net covering their heads.

This is Mu Qing's own sword move - Guiji.

Tantai Wenrui's face was terrifyingly gloomy, and he and his companions took action together to destroy the sword net. For a while, the roar of energy could not be heard.

When the aftermath dissipated, both parties were still standing in their original positions, leaving only a cloud of black ash on the ground not far away.

Tantai Wenrui looked away from the black gray and looked at Mu Qing coldly: "Since you came to save Ying Zhu and the others regardless of the danger, you should know that the person you just killed is no different from Ying Zhu."

Mu Qing retracted his gaze from looking around and looked at Tantai Wenrui.

Although he blocked the attacks of these people by himself, his attention was actually always on the dead man. But until Ye Yun and the others used the sword array to refine this man, the people in the dark did not come to rescue him. Or is there really no one in the dark?

Mu Qing's eyes flashed slightly, and he suppressed the doubts in his heart and continued to challenge: "There is a big difference. They are still human beings, but you are no longer."

Tantai Wenrui narrowed his eyes suddenly and said coldly: "Ying Zhu and the others are locked in the stone room at the back. If you want to save them, there is only one way."

Mu Qing nodded lightly: "Okay."

The next moment, he rushed straight towards Tantai Wenrui, and following Mu Qing's movements, everyone else started to move.

Without Tantai Jiaming and Weisheng Lingyi present, the battle was one-sided from the beginning. :

Mu Qing completely suppressed Tantai Wenrui, and Gu Yinghe, who was at the peak of his mortal transformation, charged into the battlefield at will. The sword formation formed by Ye Yun and the three girls only needed to follow Gu Yinghe to suppress those evolutions that had lost their ability to resist. The people did not encounter any decent resistance at all.

Within half a stick of incense, three more people were completely refined by the sword array. Mu Qing slapped Tantai Wenrui away with his sword, frowning and said, "Where are they?"

Tantai Wenrui withdrew his gaze from the sword formation and sneered: "I have already said that they will be locked up in the stone room at the back."

Mu Qing glanced at the intact stone wall, unable to detect any aura fluctuations, and said solemnly: "You know who I am asking. They are not taking action at this time, are they really not here?"

Mu Qing has been awake since entering this place. He is not happy because of the success now. On the contrary, Wei Sheng Lingyi and Tantai Jiaming have been reluctant to show up, making Mu Qing more and more uneasy.

Since this is a battlefield that both sides know very well, why is the general missing?

"boom."

Another sword strike directly shattered the ice wall in front of him and fell towards Tantai Wenrui's head. Tantai Yangbing behind saw this scene and subconsciously shouted: "No!"

Mu Qing's eyes moved slightly, and the Demon Suppressing Sword deviated slightly, cutting into Tantai Wenrui's shoulder an inch. Looking back, he saw that nearly half of the people gathered by Tantai Wenrui were dead.

This made Mu Qing suddenly wake up. He looked at Tantai Wenrui who was slumped on the ground regardless of his appearance and said, "Are you deliberately sending yourself to death?"

Tantai Wenrui's eyes moved slightly, he raised his head and said with a smile: "Send death on purpose? No, we just have no choice."

Mu Qing put away the Demon Suppressing Sword and stared at Tantai Wenrui coldly.

Tantai Wenrui said: "In your eyes, we and Ying Zhu and the others are in two different categories, but in the eyes of Shenjun and the two adults, whether it is monsters like us who retain the memories of the past, or you, the newly invaded outsiders, Everyone is the same."

Mu Qing remembered something that Tantai Yang Bing had always mentioned, and said with a sullen face: "Are they all sacrifices?"

Tantai Wenrui laughed "haha" and pointed to the extra black ash in the ground, "Do you know why no one came to save them?"

"When we are spiritually imprinted by God, our destiny is determined, just like a seed. When the tree it grows into bears fruit, the tree no longer matters."

Mu Qing suddenly understood that this was the opportunity that Zhi Ming, who had been vigilant all the time, was waiting for.

"But what is "fruit"? "Mu Qing asked.

Tantai Wenrui witnessed the complete death of his companions one by one. He didn't have much resentment towards Mu Qing who had done all this in front of him. He was only left with the despair of knowing everything but being unable to change. His eyes moved slowly, and finally landed on a man with a sad look on his face. Weishengling here said: "You once picked a fruit from Shenjun, did you forget it so quickly?"

Mu Qing followed Tantai Wenrui's line of sight and looked behind him. When he saw Wei Sheng Ling, he was suddenly shocked: "It's a spiritual brand!"
