Hanyu City, outside the south gate.
Dust and smoke were everywhere on the ground, blood appeared frequently, and roaring sounds reached hundreds of miles away.
The battle has been going on for a long time, and the scene seems huge, but in fact it is just four people fighting against the beasts.
The four of them seemed to be outmatched, and they fought and retreated, which invisibly drew the beasts further and further away from the city gate.
A group of Gu eagles tried to surround the four people from above, but the golden bell shook, and the sweet sound of the bell pierced the heavenly spirit. They suddenly formed into chaos, flapped their wings randomly, and actually launched an attack on their companions.
In the chaos, Shu Pinghui flew to Wu Yaochen's side and asked, "Is this a bit too much? Please don't attract high-level monsters."
Wu Yaochen was driving a white-striped demon monkey whose body was burning with golden flames to the place where the demonic beasts gathered. The white-striped demon monkey's body was wrapped in golden flames, which burned it until it screamed repeatedly, but its life was not harmed. As it flew wildly among the beasts, more monsters were covered in golden flames, and shrill howls came one after another. The sound and fire attracted more and more monsters to come here.
After hearing the question, Wu Yaochen looked at the city gate where large groups of monster beasts were pouring out. He pondered for a moment and said, "That's right. I'll stop it when I see it."
After that, he waved his long sword, and the monsters who were suffering from the burning golden flames and could not die were finally freed. They were torn apart and turned into ashes in the flames.
Wu Yaochen: "Go and inform them two that you are ready to withdraw."
Just as Shu Pinghui was about to agree, she suddenly reacted and said angrily: "Who are you calling? Are you exhausted and unable to move or something?"
She paused and raised a finger: "One for each person. I'll call Senior Brother Huo, and you, go find Yin Xueze."
After saying that, she didn't give Wu Yaochen a chance to refute at all, and flew away in a flash.
Wu Yaochen looked at her back in amusement, and then turned his gaze to another place filled with cold air.
…
A large group of manticores broke into the dark and dense woods, chasing the vague spiritual power gradually deeper and deeper. I don't know when thin black frost crystals spread on their bodies. When the frost crystals completely covered their bodies and formed ice, the bodies inside the ice layer began to burn silently. Dark flames swirled in the ice, and the ice slowed their movements, blocked their roars, and made death silent.
This process is obscure and mysterious, and most manticores have already set foot on the road to death before they realize that the crisis is approaching. There are still monsters rushing in from behind, unaware of the danger ahead.
Yin Xueze stood on the horizontal branch of an ancient tree, leaning against the tree with his arms folded, his eyes lightly closed as if he was asleep.
"You're quite laid back."
The figure next to him flashed, Wu Yaochen stood at the end of the horizontal branch, looked down and said.
Yin Xueze didn't answer, and didn't even open his eyes. Only a slight frown showed his mood at the moment.
Wu Yaochen: "Why are you ignoring people again?"
"..."
Yin Xueze opened his eyes, glanced at him speechlessly, and asked coldly, as if holding his breath, "What's the matter?"
Wu Yaochen: "It's almost time to go back."
Yin Xueze nodded slightly to show his knowledge, but Wu Yaochen stared at him with a smile. He stared at him until veins popped out on his forehead and he couldn't help himself, so he had to say: "I know!"
Wu Yaochen laughed outright, unaware of Yin Xueze's knife-like gaze.
He laughed enough and said again: "What are you feeling guilty about? You have also paid off the debt for the Dial and Chariot. You don't owe me anything else, right?"
Yin Xueze was stunned for a moment, turned away, and avoided the other party's gaze that hinted at inquiring. After a moment of silence, he said, "Your Zhu Xi Zhenyan..."
The beginning of this paragraph made Wu Yaochen's eyes light up, showing an expectant look.
Yin Xueze: "...Does it have any effect on Mysterious Butterfly?"
"..."
Wu Yaochen sighed helplessly, "I thought you were finally going to say it, but this is what you were asking."
Immediately, he said seriously: "It depends on the number of Mysterious Butterflies. This demon is difficult to invade, and its traces are unpredictable. Taking the scale we saw before as an example, if we encounter it, I can only stay away from it."
He paused for a moment, lowered his voice, and said: "If their target is the place where our clan lives, given the current situation in the desert, it will be a big trouble. I saw so many Mysterious Butterflies at that time, and I said I was not worried. False words.”
At this point, he raised his lips and said, "Did you see it?"
Yin Xueze didn't answer.
Wu Yaochen lowered his eyes and then raised them, still maintaining a smile, and said: "I answered your question, shouldn't you also say a few words about mine?"
Yin Xueze said impatiently as usual: "Don't ask, it has nothing to do with you."
This answer seemed to touch a certain chord. The smile in Wu Yaochen's eyes turned cold and seemed to be sullen: "I'm tired of hearing this sentence. Do you think I'm stupid? If it really doesn't matter, I won't interfere. But you dare to say that your secrets have nothing to do with me?!"
Perhaps it was the first time he saw him angry. Yin Xueze was a little stunned. After he came to his senses, his face became embarrassed, but his tone became colder and sharper: "If you don't mind your own business, it won't matter at all."
Hearing this, the smile on Wu Yaochen's face completely disappeared. He took a step towards Yin Xueze. The temperature around him rose sharply, and the nearby trees even showed signs of carbonization.
Yin Xueze's eyes were slightly focused, his spiritual power surged and he exuded cold energy, and he faced him unwilling to give in, but there was a hint of contradiction in his expression.
At this time, a voice suddenly sounded between the two people:
"disturb."
Two figures appeared without warning. Wu Yaochen and Yin Xueze instantly used the magic weapon. Later, when they saw that one of them was Jing Yingrong, they were relieved and surprised at the same time.
"Senior Sister Jing, what are you—" Wu Yaochen looked at Gu Yingxi who was standing next to him through his glasses, "Have you completed the mission?"
Jing Yingrong nodded.
"I, Gu Yingxi, have met two fellow Taoists from Taichu Temple."
Gu Yingxi originally wanted to raise his hands in salute, but found that it was a bit difficult to do this action at the moment. He and Jing Yingrong were standing between Wu and Yin. If he raised his hands, he would inevitably squeeze Jing Yingrong and Wu Yaochen, so he gave up.
There were four people standing on the short branches, and there was a hint of comedy in the crowded scene.
Wu Yaochen smiled and asked Jing Yingrong: "Sister, are you enjoying your trip?"
Jing Yingrong nodded and then shook his head: "It went relatively smoothly, but it was exposed in the end."
Wu Yaochen said in surprise: "Then you had a conflict with Huanmei?"
Jing Yingrong: "Yeah, I took her move."
Yin Xueze frowned: "You didn't beat him back?"
Jing Yingrong: "No, I gave her a hug."
"..."
Just as he was talking, Shu Pinghui's voice came from far and near: "Young Master Wu, why are you so slow - Rong Rong?!"
Shu Pinghui's speed suddenly increased, and she almost flew to Jing Yingrong, took her hands, and said with joy and complaint: "When did you come back, why didn't you tell me?"
Huo Xiumao followed closely and was surprised and happy to see his face reflected in the mirror.
Jing Yingrong: "Just now. They are closer. Let me tell them first that I have not forgotten you."
Only then did Shu Pinghui feel satisfied. She met with Huo Xiumao and Gu Yingxi, and then said: "Since Rong Rong is back, let's go back to Senior Sister Yu's place quickly."
Before anyone else could respond, Shu Pinghui suddenly noticed the scene below, and then looked at Yin Xueze and Wu Yaochen in confusion: "Why are there so many monsters? What were you two doing just now?"
Two people: "..."
The embarrassment came suddenly.
Shu Pinghui curled her lips and said, "Rong Rong, Taoist friend Gu and I will take the first step. You two can clean up. Senior Brother Huo, please supervise them."
Huo Xiumao: "Ah???"
