The journey is still stretching, like an endless picture scroll. Chen Fan lost his comfortable carriage and could only sit on the horse every day, letting the dust wash over his face. Despite this, he is still stubbornly looking for a way to perfectly integrate the seals of life and death.
Whenever night falls and stars are twinkling in the distance, Chen Fan will always find the right time and an excuse to leave quietly. Alone in the quiet night, he carefully experienced the results of his thoughts during the day and tried to put them into practice.
However, no matter how hard he tried, every attempt to merge the life and death seals could only result in failure. The blending of life and death in one thought was far more difficult than he imagined. Every time, the life and death seals he displayed were unable to burst out at the same time.
Either the life seal comes first, like the rising sun of birth, cutting through the darkness; or the death seal strikes, like the falling stars, lighting up the night sky. However, the fusion of these two imprints has never been successful.
The first step in the fusion of life and death is to shoot out the two marks from the palm of your hand at the same time. Only by achieving this step can a thought of life and death be truly integrated and shine with dazzling light. Chen Fan has yet to find the answer to this difficult problem.
This requires an extremely delicate control, so that the rhythm of condensation of vitality and negative power is perfectly coordinated, and no slight deviation is allowed! Chen Fan knew this truth well, but in practice, he found that he was facing an insurmountable dilemma and could not successfully merge the life and death seals.
Getting closer and closer to the entrance of the Dead Swamp, Chen Fan no longer went out at night to practice what he had learned during the day. Because he knew that in order to use a thought of life and death, he had to consume both vitality and negative power at the same time, and every attempt would make his body extremely weak. Especially to practice the Death Seal, you need to put yourself into a state of rage first, and the backlash brought by the rage will always follow you. In order to ensure that he was in top physical condition for the Dead Swamp, he had to abandon his practice that night.
Chen Fan decided not to immerse himself in training blindly, but to relax and use the rest of the trip to communicate with Wu Yunlian and Zuo Shi. Over this period of time, he had gotten to know them better, and although their relationship had not reached a particularly harmonious level, there had been no conflict.
…
On this day, Chen Fan rode a horse and kept pace with the Zuo family's carriage, traveling all the way. His expression was indifferent, and the problem of how to merge the seals of life and death was always circling in his mind.
Just as he was focusing on this problem, suddenly, Han Feng's voice came from the front of the team: "Master, we have arrived." Chen Fan looked in the direction Han Feng pointed, and there were three figures looming in the distance.
Wu Yunlian also poked her head out of the carriage, glanced sharply over there, and reminded in a low voice: "Everyone should be more vigilant. Although the people in Zhenbao Pavilion are our allies, that woman can cultivate to the realm of melting the sky. It’s better for us to be careful.”
Hearing this, everyone nodded in agreement. Chen Fan frowned, not sure how Xia Xinyan would react when she saw him. That day in Yanyu Tower, Xia Xinyan had obviously seen him before she fell into coma. She should have figured out why she was there.
During this reunion, Chen Fan didn't know whether Xia Xinyan would attack him or not. However, he wasn't particularly worried. That night at Yanyu Tower, when he was flirting with Xia Xinyan, she was also in a coma. Xia Xinyan probably didn't know what he had done, but Chen Fan still felt an indescribable uneasiness in his heart.
…
Xia Xinyan never left Chen Fan and his group too far. Although she decisively threw away half of the treasure map, she was still secretly wary of the Zuo family and the Chen family, worried that they would take action behind her back.
She heard clearly what Chen Fan said about her that day, and she naturally felt a little unhappy in her heart. She had always wanted to find an opportunity to teach this guy who had no respect for her a lesson.
Finally, when Chen Fan's figure appeared in her sight, she recognized him at a glance as the man who took her into the brothel that day. This made her anger even more uncontrollable, and the events of that day were still fresh in her mind.
There were several nights when Xia Xinyan woke up from her dreams, and the scene of Yanyu Tower would always appear in front of her eyes. She clearly remembered that in that wing, she was unconscious on the ground, and there was a shameless man who vented his anger on two brothel girls in front of her!
Thinking of this, Xia Xinyan couldn't help but get angry. Now, Chen Fan finally appeared in front of her. A cold light flashed in her eyes, she pointed at Chen Fan and said in a cold tone: "Come with me, I have something to ask you."
Wu Yunlian, Zuo Shi, Han Feng and others on the side looked at Xia Xinyan with wide eyes and surprise. They didn't understand why Xia Xinyan stopped Chen Fan alone instead of asking about Chi Xiao's whereabouts. All this filled their hearts with doubts.
Chen Fan had long expected that Xia Xinyan would stop him, so he nodded calmly and said calmly: "Okay, please ask me if you have anything."
His calm and unhurried attitude only made Wu Yunlian and his party even more confused. They exchanged glances, filled with confusion.
Han Feng was startled for a moment, then said with a hint of worry: "Master, you..."
"It's okay." Chen Fan waved his hand, showed a chic smile, and followed Xia Xinyan away.
After a while, the two came to an ancient forest. Under a vigorous old tree, Xia Xinyan stopped.
She looked directly at Chen Fan with her bright eyes and asked in a calm tone: "That day, it will be you, right?"
"That's right." Chen Fan answered simply and clearly.
Xia Xinyan gritted her teeth and continued to ask: "That day in the brothel, when I was unconscious, what did you and my two brothel girls do?"
Hearing this question, a trace of embarrassment flashed across Chen Fan's face, but he still answered frankly: "That's true."
"You are simply a pervert!" Xia Xinyan accused angrily. In her heart, her dislike for Chen Fan grew stronger. However, what she didn't know was that Chen Fan had always had unspeakable difficulties in his heart.
Chen Fan smiled and said calmly: "Men, this is nature, there is nothing to avoid. But in fact, I didn't do anything to you, right? On the contrary, I saved you! That night, if it weren't for me If I find you in a brothel, people from the Nangong family might have come looking for you a long time ago. From this point of view, you should be grateful to me. "
Xia Xinyan's eyes flashed with surprise. She didn't expect Chen Fan to admit his shamelessness so frankly. Standing there, her eyes widened, her thoughts were racing, she wanted to curse, but she didn't know where to start.
When Chen Fan saw this, a smile appeared on his lips, as if he was mocking her for being speechless.
Xia Xinyan felt a little irritated, and after a long time she shook her head helplessly and said, "You did save me, but I'm not grateful to you! I don't want anyone to know what happened that night, do you understand?"
Xia Xinyan's beautiful eyes turned cold, full of threats.
The fire in Xia Xinyan's heart suddenly ignited. She gritted her teeth tightly and kept saying "Calm down, calm down" silently in her heart. She took a few deep breaths, trying to calm down her emotions, and then asked coldly: "I'm asking you, do you have any evil intentions towards me?"
The answer in Chen Fan's heart was obviously yes, but he pretended to be serious on his face and shook his head: "No, I am not the kind of casual person."
"You said you're not just a casual person?!" Xia Xinyan's eyes widened and she found that she always lost control easily when facing this person. She gritted her teeth and sneered again: "At the critical moment when the family is at war with the enemy, you are still in the mood to have fun. People like you dare to say that you are not just a casual person. It is really ridiculous! "
"It's just a normal need." Chen Fan responded calmly.
Xia Xinyan looked at him, various complex emotions such as contempt, disgust, and anger flashed through her beautiful eyes. She waved her hands weakly, as if she didn't want to continue this topic: "I hope you can forget everything about that night. You saved my life, I will remember it. I will try my best to protect you during this journey to Tianmen. You, we will be clean after this."
After saying that, Xia Xinyan couldn't bear it anymore and turned around and walked back the way she came. The fire inside her still burned brightly, but there was nowhere to vent it.
"Then let me thank you first." Chen Fan looked at her back and shouted loudly, with a faint smile on his lips, as if he could fully feel Xia Xinyan's anger.
…
In the sky, there was a thick dark cloud. In this layer of dark clouds, there is a ten-meter-long fifth-level monster called the Wind Extreme Eagle. Six people, Nangong Shang, Nangong Ce, Yin Kui, Jiu Shan, Mu Ge and Yalan, sat on Feng Jiying's back together.
Nangong Shang stood on the head of Feng Jiying, looking down at Chen Fan and others who were as small as ants below, and said in a serious tone: "They should go to the Dead Swamp."
"Grandpa, when will we take action?" Nangong Ce's eyes flickered and he asked impatiently.
"We'll talk about it after they arrive at their destination." Nangong Shang replied with a frown, "Chi Xiao should appear soon. He is the real Heaven-melting realm, and he might find us. Let's go, let's leave first. .”
Hearing this, Mu Ge clenched his fists, his bright eyes full of anticipation.
Suddenly, the fifth-level monster Wind Eagle suddenly spread its wings, turned into a black shadow, and quickly flew towards the Dead Swamp. After a moment, it disappeared into the sky.
