Chapter 294: Plot
When he heard Zhong Lingxi say that the other party might have used magic weapons to perform his tricks, he subconsciously shook his head, because he knew very well that the soul of that female cultivator was definitely superior to his own. When he heard Zhong Lingxi's second idea, he also pondered.
"Qi refining warriors?" he said, "So, they are most likely from our world."
"should be."
Then the two people fell into silence at the same time.
If they were said to be people from the outside world, then they would most likely regard Yi Xifeng as locals. Under what circumstances would an outsider kill a local without saying a word?
Do those people know some secrets of this secret realm?
Yi Xifeng lifted the gourd again and poured it into his mouth, only to find that there was no water in it.
"I'll go get some water from the nearby stream." He put away his thoughts, stood up from the ground, and asked Zhong Lingxi: "Do you still have water in your water bag?"
Zhong Lingxi took out the water bag and found that the bag was also deflated.
"Let's go together." Zhong Lingxi did not hand the water bag into Yi Xifeng's hands, but carried the two bags on his shoulders and took the lead to step forward.
Seeing Zhong Lingxi carrying the baggage, Yi Xifeng felt warm in his heart. Without saying anything, they walked towards the nearby creek together.
On the way, Yi Xifeng checked the direction and found that they were disturbed by the terrain and ran to the northeast. As a result, not only did they lose traces of Miao Pharmacist and Ye Jingshu, but they also became farther and farther away from Youye Valley.
After they received the water, the sky was getting dark. Yi Xifeng released his spirit and found out ridiculously that the inn where he stayed last night was nearby. After working hard all day, I not only lost track of people, but also returned to the starting point! In desperation, they headed towards the inn again.
After eating in the lobby of the inn, Yi Xifeng and Zhong Lingxi returned to their rooms. Since pharmacist Miao and Ye Jingshu were not here, Yi Xifeng let go of his hands and feet and sat cross-legged on the bed, absorbing the blood and energy of heaven and earth into his body to nourish his body.
After a long run during the day, although he was embarrassed, he felt extremely comfortable after giving full play to his strength. At this moment, after the blood energy of heaven and earth enters the body, it circulates more smoothly in the body.
It's just that the Qi refining technique requires strong thoughts to maintain, and most importantly, a clear mind. But tonight, in his mind, the five figures he met during the day always appeared. Doubts about who they are, what their identities are, and what their purpose is for coming here arises one after another in the bottom of my heart.
After he tried hard to block distracting thoughts, the Xizhou Sword actually shuddered, and then the Xizhou Sword Spirit jumped out from the sword!
Yi Xifeng slowly adjusted his breath and retracted his skills, then looked towards Xizhou Sword Spirit. I saw him walking to the window, closing his eyes and listening, as if he heard a sound that others could not hear, and was carefully identifying the source of the sound.
"What did you sense?" Yi Xifeng asked him.
"That sword energy." Xizhou Sword Spirit's answer was concise and powerful. He raised his hand and pointed to the north, "In that direction."
Yi Xifeng remembered that Xizhou Sword Spirit also mentioned that sword spirit two days ago. Looking at his performance today, it seemed that that sword spirit was very important to him. And this also aroused his curiosity, and then he thought of the man in green shirt who had fought against Miao Yaoshi last night. That man's swordsmanship also made Yi Xifeng feel familiar, and he wondered if there was someone in the north. How many swordsmen are competing in swordsmanship?
Or maybe there is a large sect in the north, where did the man in green shirt come from yesterday?
All these ideas aroused Yi Xifeng's strong interest. I thought that after Medicine Master Miao arrived in Youye Valley, it would still take several days to grab the Blood Spirit Jade. During this time, he could go to the north to look for sword energy. Although he would not be able to see the skills and moves like a hundred flowers blooming in Youye Valley, if Finding an opportunity in that trace of sword energy in the north is not in vain.
The next morning, after he told Zhong Lingxi his plan, Zhong Lingxi readily agreed.
"Okay." After saying that, she hesitated and said, "Actually, Nanfeng Sword also sensed that sword energy."
After hearing this, Yi Xifeng looked at Zhong Lingxi and saw the same confusion in her eyes. The two swords were made by the same owner, and now they sensed the same sword energy at the same time. What could be the reason behind this?
After they finished their meal in a hurry, they immediately set off and headed north. After walking for about an hour and a half, they arrived at the foot of a mountain range ten miles away.
The highest point of this mountain range is several hundred feet high. The mountainside is already covered with thick snow, and the top of the mountain is hidden in the clouds. Yi Xifeng released his soul and headed towards the mountain range. He found that the center of the mountain range seemed to be cut off with a knife. A huge rift appeared on the ground. The bottom of the rift was so deep that he could faintly hear the flow of a stream. Voices. Beside the rift valley at the foot of the mountain, there is a stone tablet with the two characters "Cliff" written on it.
The fair young man instantly remembered the words introduced by the servant beside him when he saw the young man in green shirt for the first time: "My young master is a genius who learned the sword on the cliff!"
It turns out that this is the "cliff"!
Yi Xifeng's soul extended up the hillside and found that on both sides of the rift valley, there were two broken walls that reached into the sky. What shocked him was that the mountain was crisscrossed with sword energy. With the strength of his soul, he could not extend upward for fifty feet, and was forced back by the sword energy!
When encountering this sword energy, Xizhou Sword Spirit jumped out from the sword body. He pointed to the top of the mountain and said, "That sword energy is up there."
Then, the Nanfeng Sword Spirit also appeared on the scene. She stood side by side with the Xizhou Sword Spirit and looked towards the top of the mountain together. Their expressions were full of expectation and deep doubt.
…………
A few days passed by in a hurry. Due to the death of the lord and the inexplicable disappearance of Liu Huwei, the Nanshan Territory became an ownerless land for a while. It happened that Qiu Yaner was staying here temporarily, so it was logical that he became the lord of this place.
However, after she became a lord, she appeared in Zhou Yang's courtyard all day long. Although everyone felt that their third lady should not be so close to people from the lower world, they were afraid of offending Qiu Yan'er, so no one dared to persuade her.
"This is not the way to go." In the dark room, several men in gray robes were discussing with each other. They were originally Qiu Sihai's subordinates, but now that Qiu Sihai is dead, their territory suddenly became Qiu Yan'er's. It would be fine if they just changed their masters, but now all their positions have been vacated and replaced by Qiu Yan'er's people.
At this moment, another person said: "The person named Zhou Yang must be the one behind Qiu Yan'er, otherwise she would never be able to come up with so many plans on her own."
