Chapter 145
Looking at the Qingtian Sect disciple uniform thrown on the wooden table, Xiao Zhan threw his identity tag on the clothes with an expressionless face, not intending to wear this set of clothes at all.
Afterwards, Xiao Zhan took off his Aohan Sword and Red Dragon Sword and placed them on the table. He sat cross-legged and opened the booklet given by Geng Zhi and started reading.
After searching for a while, Xiao Zhan finally saw Fang Yu's name.
Fang Yu lives in Fangcun Mountain, which is about five hundred miles away from Xuanjian Peak. It is a square stone mountain.
After pondering for a moment, Xiao Zhan decided to practice martial arts in seclusion first, and then go to Fang Yu after his injuries healed.
When he opened his eyes again, night had fallen, and the stars in the sky that were bigger than his fist were shining brightly, as if he could reach out and touch them.
Xiao Zhan walked to the edge of the mountain and looked at the peak a thousand meters away.
Under the starry sky, in the night, Shen Luoyan and Shen Yutong were sitting at the stone table. A lamp was lit on the table, emitting a soft light. The two seemed to be drinking.
Shen Yutong took a sip from the wine bowl, then stood up, opened her arms, looked up at the stars and sang a song.
It was a bit far away and I couldn't hear what she was singing.
Xiao Zhan felt a little boring and turned around and walked into the wooden building.
Xiao Zhan was deeply shocked when he saw the eighth elder of Qingtian Sect take action today.
If the strength is not improved faster, then... Huangzhou will never have hope.
Jade Girl Peak.
Shen Yutong rubbed his eyes, looked thousands of meters away, and said curiously:
"Second sister, didn't you say that no one lives on the peaks near here?"
"I seemed to have seen a figure just now."
Shen Luoyan frowned slightly, "Then I'll find another mountain peak tomorrow."
"No need," Shen Yutong walked back to the stone table and sat down, shaking his head and saying, "I like it here very much. Besides, I only live here for a month or two, so I don't have to worry about it."
As she spoke, Shen Yutong's voice became more angry:
"Second sister, people from Zhongzhou actually dare to go to Qingzhou to assassinate you. When I go back, I must tell dad to strip off the feathers of the thunder bird and the assassin. Let dad catch him and put him to death. He was imprisoned in the dungeon of our Shen family!"
Shen Luoyan's eyes turned cold:
"I have my own plan for this matter, so you don't have to worry."
"That man should still be in Qingzhou. Don't leave Qingtian Sect for the time being. When you have enough fun, I will take you home personally."
Shen Yutong asked worriedly:
"But the dragon blood stones are gone, so the assassin won't come again, right?"
Shen Luoyan stretched out her green and jade fingers, picked up the wine bowl and took a sip, and said slowly:
"He doesn't know that the dragon blood stone is missing."
Shen Yutong said 'oh', "Second sister, do you think that eldest brother is still alive? The dragon blood stone is with him. If we can find him, we can get the dragon blood stone back."
Shen Luoyan glanced at her sister, "I know your little thoughts. What you care about is not the dragon blood stone, but that person."
"I told you, there's no way he's going to survive."
"Yutong, you don't have to feel guilty. Since he rode the same Black Wind Eagle as us, it is destined that he should suffer a disaster."
Shen Yutong looked disappointed, "But I always feel that we killed him, and I feel very guilty."
"When I was on Black Wind Eagle's back, he even gave me his seat. He is a good man."
Shen Luoyan shook his head and said nothing. He drank the wine in the bowl, stood up and said:
"You should rest early. After you have had enough rest, remember to practice. Don't just play around."
Shen Yutong quickly pulled Shen Luoyan pitifully and looked at her helplessly:
"Second sister, I'm afraid of the dark and don't dare to sleep."
"Then don't sleep, just sit and wait for dawn," Shen Luoyan scolded softly: "You are not young anymore. It's time to learn to be independent. There will always be a time when you can make your way alone."
Shen Yutong had no choice but to let go of her hand and said weakly: "I know."
Shen Luoyan said nothing, just took out a luminous pearl and placed it on the stone table, then turned and left.
"Thank you, second sister!" Shen Yutong laughed immediately, then picked up the night pearl and walked into the wooden building next to it.
But after a while, she walked out again, rubbing her sleepy eyes.
He had a nightmare. In the dream, the brother who gave her a seat was covered in blood and asked her:
"Why did you kill me?"
Shen Yutong sat at the stone table in a daze for a while, then suddenly got up and walked to the side, found a stone slab, ran into the room, took out his sword, and started carving on the stone slab one stroke at a time.
It wasn't until the sky got slightly bright that Shen Yutong went back to the house to sleep with a smile.
At dawn, three bells rang, waking up all the Qingtian Sect disciples.
Xiao Zhan spent the whole night doing exercises to heal his injuries, and by this time his injuries had improved greatly.
In addition, Qingtian Sect is already in a place with extremely strong true energy, and Xiao Zhan's strength has also improved.
The meridians all over his body were like a small river, originally flowing with trickling water.
But the concentration of true energy in Qingtian Sect is like the sea, washing away and expanding Xiao Zhan's meridians little by little.
At the same time, a very real problem faced Xiao Zhan.
Although Qingzhou's True Essence Qi is rich, it is obviously still not as good as the True Essence Stone.
If he wants to improve his strength as quickly as possible, he must obtain more True Essence Stones.
Since he couldn't take away the True Essence Stone in Huangzhou's treasure house, he could only find another way.
Looking at the red sun rising in the sky, Xiao Zhan walked out of the wooden building, glanced at the Jade Girl Peak a thousand meters away, and then slowly went down the mountain.
…
Since Fang Yu came back from Huangzhou, he has been unable to come out of seclusion.
At present, the conflict between the Qingtian Sect and the Mingjian Sect is escalating. The disciples of the two families secretly do not know how many battles have taken place. It is a troubled time.
Therefore, Fang Qunfeng told Fang Yu that it was best to stay in Qingtian Sect for retreat.
When Xiao Zhan climbed Fangcun Mountain, Fang Yu was meditating under the waterfall on the mountainside.
Feeling that the aura emanating from Fang Yu's body was unstable, Xiao Zhan said nothing to disturb him.
Half an hour later, Fang Yu slowly opened his eyes and frowned the moment he saw Xiao Zhan:
"Who are you and what's the matter?"
Fang Yu naturally didn't recognize Xiao Zhan.
Because Xiao Zhan put on a mask immediately after he separated from the third elder Yan Long. Although his image at this time was also a handsome young man, it was very different from Xiao Zhan's original appearance.
Xiao Zhan smiled, pulled out the Red Dragon Sword from behind, and said slowly:
"You don't know me, but you should know my knife."
Fang Yu glanced at the Red Dragon Sword, and his expression trembled the next moment. He quickly stood up and lowered his voice and said, "Stop talking and follow me to the top of the mountain!"
After saying that, Fang Yu hurriedly walked towards the peak.
Not long after, Fang Yu led Xiao Zhan into the wooden building at the top of the peak, and his whole face changed drastically:
"Xiao Zhan, don't kill me! This is Qingzhou! This is Qingtian Sect!"
"I came to Qingzhou, and I came to Qingtian Sect!" Xiao Zhan sat down on the wooden chair and said with a smile:
"Also, my name is not Xiao Zhan now, my name is Xiao Yanlong."
Fang Yu frowned and stared at Xiao Zhan's eyes for a long time before saying in a deep voice:
"What exactly do you want to do? Do you think that with your own strength, you can take revenge on Qingtian Sect?"
Xiao Zhan shook his head, a cold light flashed in his eyes:
"There is no one in the Qingtian Sect whom I want to take revenge on for the time being."
"But there is another Li Yu from the Famous Sword Sect. I will kill him one day."
"You don't have to worry about me," Xiao Zhan said slowly:
"You said Qingzhou is very big and Qingtian Sect is very strong. I want to take a look in person. Do you know how I feel?"
Fang Yu frowned, "What else can I feel, shock, surprise?"
Xiao Zhan slowly shook his head, his eyes becoming cold and deep:
"The Huangzhou used to be like a fairyland. It was the other four states that took away all the true essence stone veins in the Huangzhou, which made the Huangzhou become what it is today!"
Fang Yu was silent for a long time before speaking:
"What happened 80,000 years ago? I don't believe that you powerful people from the desert state would declare war on the other four states for no reason."
"Do you have any wine?" Xiao Zhan asked casually.
Fang Yu nodded and took out two jars of strong liquor and two wine bowls from the room next to him.
Xiao Zhan unplugged the wine jar, lifted the wine jar and took a swig, and then said slowly:
"To be precise, it was not Huangzhou who declared war on his own initiative."
"Before the thirteen territorial lords of the Barren State declared war, the top forces in the other four states were already plotting to launch a war against the Barren State!"
Fang Yu's hand holding the wine jar paused in the air, and then he took a sip, "What's the reason?"
"Once upon a time, Huangzhou was the place with the strongest true energy among the five continents."
"There are the most treasures of all kinds of geniuses, the most opportunities, the most powerful people, and the most geniuses!"
"So, for tens of thousands of years, people from the other four states liked to go to the Barren State to find opportunities."
"And the big forces in the four states have been secretly assassinating the geniuses in Huangzhou, causing the geniuses in Huangzhou to wither and the number of strong people to drop sharply."
"Not only that, they also sent people to search for true essence stone veins all over the barren state, and then secretly mined them and brought them back to their respective forces."
"Even that doesn't satisfy their appetite."
"The top forces in the four states feel that the time has come and are ready to completely destroy the Barren State and divide all its resources."
"So, regardless of whether Huangzhou declares war or not, this war will break out!"
"The only difference is that the barren state has become synonymous with brutal war and bloody killings, while the other four states have become heroes who save the common people, punish evil and eradicate evil."
Xiao Zhan took another swig of strong wine, sneered and said:
"After that war, the four states did not let go of everyone in the Huangzhou. They launched a massacre that lasted for hundreds of years, killing everyone outside the Huanglan Secret Realm and poaching all the real people in the Huangzhou. Yuanshi veins.”
"But to this day, people in the four states still feel that Huangzhou deserves it!"
"Fang Yu, tell me, if you were a descendant of Huangzhou, would you be angry?!"
Unable to calm down, Fang Yu stood up and walked to the door. While pouring strong alcohol into his mouth, he shook his head and said:
"I know that the reasons for that battle are concealed in the history books, but I don't believe what you said either."
"Xiao Zhan, all this is just your guess!"
Xiao Zhan chuckled, "Whether you believe it or not, it doesn't matter."
"I just treat you as a friend. Since you ask, I'll tell you, that's all."
After saying that, Xiao Zhan drank all the strong wine in the wine jar, stood up and said:
"I am also a disciple of the Qingtian Sect for the time being. I live in Xuanjian Peak. If you need anything, just come to me."
"Also, please send me a message to Senior Fang Qunfeng. I am very grateful to him."
