"whee."
A silly smile came from his arms again, and Xu Yue didn't know how many times this happened.
He lowered his head and looked at the short-haired woman who was holding her neck with her blue eyes shining brightly. After thinking about it, he carefully moved his hand towards the flag embedded in her body, trying to pull it out.
This was the injury he received from Duan Tiannan outside the tree hole just now.
"pain!"
However, as soon as Xu Yue's hand moved, Lan Ruyan's face turned bitter, and she quickly shrank into Xu Yue's arms, preventing him from touching those flags.
"Uh... Lan Fairy, I haven't touched the flagpole yet, and it's inconvenient to walk with this thing inside your body. You can't always be held by me like this, right?" Xu Yue said with a bitter smile.
"pain……"
But Lan Ruyan didn't say anything else, just blinked and stared at Xu Yue.
Seeing this, Xu Yue twitched his mouth and didn't know what to say.
He had already met this girl several times, especially during the battle at the top of Emperor Mountain, where she had helped him fight against Duan Mutian and others.
I just didn't expect that we would meet in this secret realm now.
"Master Xu!"
Liu Yun's voice came from behind. He was extremely excited at this time. Not only was he happy to save dozens of Condensed Body Realm disciples, he was also confident of victory after seeing Xu Yue knocking Duan Tiannan away with one punch.
"Master Xu, this place has been basically discovered. It is the World Tree in the Condensed Realm area. Brother Mu and the others took refuge here before, but were later eroded by darkness. But now, as we enter, the darkness seems to have retreated! "Liu Yun glanced at Lan Ruyan, who was smiling in Xu Yue's arms. Although he was confused, he didn't dare to ask more questions and concentrated on reporting the situation.
"The World Tree?"
Xu Yue nodded slightly. The World Tree is a towering vegetation that grows on the soil and water of a world. Under normal circumstances, it is not easily destroyed by outsiders, so hiding here is basically safe.
"Where are the others? How is the situation?" Xu Yue asked.
"Not bad! We arrived very timely. Although dozens of Condensation Realm disciples were seriously injured, it was not fatal and there is a possibility of recovery. Especially among them, Mu Shen, who is also a candidate for the emperor with me, is also here. !" Liu Yun nodded, his words full of joy and thankfulness.
Since they were ambushed in the long lake area and Xu Yue used the Emperor's Sword, they drove straight in, crisscrossing the Condensation Realm area for thousands of miles, and finally found this place through layers of clues.
And just as Liu Yun said, Lan Ruyan and others have indeed reached the point of being isolated and helpless. If Xu Yue does not arrive in time, the consequences will be disastrous.
But luckily, I caught up.
"Mu Shen... Mu family?"
Xu Yue whispered slightly, thinking of the scene where he saw a man on an ancient ship flying across the forest while stepping on a leaf when he first entered Emperor Mountain.
That person seems to be Mu Shen.
"Where is he?" Xu Yue turned around and asked.
"In the back! After a brief chat with him, I came to report to you first." Liu Yunbai said.
"Go, call him to come see me. I have something to ask. You should quickly lead your disciples to form an array and block the entrance of the cave... Although the enemy leader was temporarily stunned by me, he will never give up." Xu Yue said in a deep voice.
"As you command!"
Liu Yun quickly agreed, and then turned back to look for Mu Shen. At the same time, he ordered some disciples who were in better condition and asked them to guard the tree holes to prevent any unexpected events.
More than a thousand monks were divided in this way. A small number accepted Liu Yun's arrangement and began to form an array. The majority followed Xu Yue and continued to go deep into the deep and cool tree cave, making it slightly crowded.
A minute later, Xu Yue looked at the open space in front of him and stopped.
This is the deepest part of the tree hole. Lan Ruyan, Mu Shen and others also hid here before and spent a very difficult time.
"Master Xu!"
It was also at this time that a man covered in blood finally came from behind, being supported by several Yidi Mountain disciples.
It was Mu Shen, the eldest brother of the Qingye Mountain branch of Yidi Mountain and one of the candidates for the emperor.
"Master Xu, please be polite."
Mu Shen came over and saluted Xu Yue directly, leaving the disciples who were helping him at a loss whether to help him or not.
"Get up."
Fortunately, Xu Yue spoke in time and stopped the other party.
He originally wanted to help Mu Shen with his own hands, but he found that the girl in his arms was like a sloth, clinging to him and not letting go at all, making it extremely difficult for him to move.
"Do you know me?" In desperation, Xu Yue had no choice but to nod in return and asked.
Mu Shen stood up tremblingly. Like Liu Yun, he first stared blankly at the affectionate Lan Ruyan in Xu Yue's arms, feeling a little unreal for a moment.
It was so cold before, and it was killing everyone outside. Why is it now as fragile as a little rabbit, unable to stand up?
"Ahem."
At the critical moment, Xu Yue coughed several times with a red face, signaling Mu Shen not to be distracted.
He was also helpless and had nothing to do with the girl in his arms.
"Oh, oh! Mr. Xu, you are often mentioned in the family, especially the head of the family, who praises you very much! Not to mention the relationship between the previous emperor's daughter and you." Mu Shen came back to his senses and hurriedly took back Lan Ruyan. Looking at him, he cursed himself for being rude and bowed respectfully.
"Master of the family? Mu Yuan? What is the relationship between the previous emperor's daughter... Xuan'er and you?" Xu Yue pondered.
"snort!"
However, as soon as he said the word "Xuan'er", the girl in his arms curled her lips and looked a little unhappy.
Xu Yue looked strange and ignored her, continuing to look at Mu Shen.
"The previous emperor's daughter Mu Chuxuan, if we insist on calculating seniority, she should be my aunt." Mu Shen bowed.
"I see."
Xu Yue nodded. No wonder he felt that Mu Shen's eyebrows were somewhat similar. No wonder the other party was different from Liu Yun Bai Xuan. It was almost the first time they met and without much communication, he was extremely respectful to him.
"snort……"
At this time, there was another inaudible whisper in his arms, which seemed to be trying to attract Xu Yue's attention.
Xu Yue had no choice but to lower his head again, look into the sapphire eyes that had been staring at him, and asked: "Lan Fairy, where is your sister? Why isn't she here?"
For some reason, Xu Yue did not dare to look at each other. He only looked at Lan Ruyan for a few seconds, then looked straight ahead, pretending to observe the depths of the tree hole.
"elder sister?"
Hearing this, Lan Ruyan couldn't help but think of Lan Qing's gentle face, imagining that the other person's expression changed from calm to extremely anxious, and sighed: "I don't know, my sister must be very worried about me now..."
"Oh, will she worry about others?"
Hearing this, Xu Yue's face was full of disdain, and even a hint of coldness overflowed when he thought of what he had experienced in Cangyun Mountain.
But in the end, he shook his head, looked at the suspicious-looking girl in his arms again, and joked: "That's all, it has nothing to do with you... I haven't asked you yet, what's your name? Lan Rujiu?"
"Lan Rujiu? What Lan Rujiu!"
Lan Ruyan was startled and moved unconsciously, but he touched the wound pierced by the flag, and tears burst into his eyes.
"Ouch, little blue fairy! Slow down!"
Mu Shen ignored his own strength and hurried forward, looking at the benefactor in Xu Yue's arms with a look of pain on his face.
However, the next moment, something happened that shocked Mu Shen even more.
"What!?"
"oops!"
With a bang, Xu Yue threw his hand and dropped Lan Ruyan, who had been holding him in his arms, on the ground. Then he looked down at her, his eyes gradually becoming cold.
"Are you Lan Ruyan?"
"Ding! Mission completed detected.
Congratulations to the host for successfully traveling to the Condensation Realm area and finding Lan Ruyan!

"Ding! New mission detected.
