Downstream of the Yang River, on a sandbank beach.
Zhang Lingfeng sat in the reeds, looking at the mighty river in front of him, and remained silent for a long time.
Behind Zhang Lingfeng, a beautiful woman wearing a splendid dress was holding a willow tree, looking sad and about to cry.
Under the willow tree, the unconscious Master Minghong was lying in the grass under the tree. The grass is green, just like the color of Master Minghong's hair.
"Ling Feng, it was...I harmed you!"
The beautiful woman's voice was choked with tears, and tears rolled down her eyes. "I know that none of this should have happened. But... God pitied me for being lonely, and that's why I met you that evening."
"I was born in Baixiang Valley, a small sect on the periphery of Haoyang Immortal Sect."
"If a small sect wants to survive in the world of practice, it must make good friends with the big sect. And I am Baihua Valley's... gift that I cultivated from an early age in order to make good friends with the Haoyang Sect!"
"Yes, I am just a gift, Baihua Valley's tribute to Haoyang Sect."
"Years ago, I was sent to the Haoyang Sect as a year-end tribute from Baihua Valley. Then, the headmaster of the Haoyang Sect gave me to the Master of Sinong Hall."
"Among the major hall masters of Haoyang Sect, Master Sinong is the youngest. Originally, I thought this would be a good destination. But unexpectedly... Master Sinong looked down upon me and didn't even look at me. .”
"I am alone in a foreign land, with no friends and no one to rely on. I am already disheartened and just want to spend my life in peace."
"Unexpectedly... God took pity on my loneliness and allowed me to meet you. I don't know where my love started, but it goes deeper and deeper."
"I don't follow the rules of a woman, I'm a promiscuous person...but I made you betray the sect."
"Ling Feng, it's my fault, it's all my fault."
The beautiful woman sobbed softly, walked up to Zhang Lingfeng, stretched out her hand to caress Zhang Lingfeng's face, "Lingfeng, hand me over to the Haoyang Sect to plead guilty and be punished! I have no regrets in this life, I just want you to be freed from your guilt. "
"No need to say it!"
Zhang Lingfeng waved his hand, "I am a man. If something happens, how can I let you take the responsibility?"
Turning his head to look at the unconscious Master Sinong under the willow tree, Zhang Lingfeng let out a long breath and said, "It is impossible to plead guilty and to be punished, and it is even more impossible to clear away the guilt, but we still have a chance."
"This matter is not big or small. In the final analysis, this is just a matter of face for Master Minghong, the master of Sinong Hall."
"Now, since Master Minghong has fallen into your hands and fallen into our hands, there is still a chance for negotiation."
"As long as we hold Master Minghong hostage and return Master Minghong in exchange for our freedom."
Having said this, Zhang Lingfeng turned his head and glanced at the beautiful woman, with a difficult smile on his face, "It's just that from now on we will travel around the world."
"As long as I can be with you, I'll be satisfied."
The beautiful woman sat next to Zhang Lingfeng and nestled in Zhang Lingfeng's arms, "I'm not afraid of wandering around the world, I'm just afraid of being separated by the world."
"Me too!"
Zhang Lingfeng reached out and patted the woman's hand and said: "After we escaped, anyone who is close to me or even has some contact with me will definitely be interrogated by the sect."
"However, there is one person who will definitely not be caught. He can serve as a liaison for us to negotiate with the sect."
——
Xu Ke was studying a long-coveted foundation-building spell "Escape" in the study.
At this time, Xu Ke's messenger talisman suddenly rang.
Picking it up and taking a look, the spiritual mark on the communication talisman suddenly corresponded to Zhang Lingfeng!
Zhang Lingfeng? Didn't he hook up with the concubine of Master Sinong and then defect from the sect? Why did you send me a summons?
Xu Ke was a little surprised, but he answered the call.
"Junior Brother Xu, I am Zhang Lingfeng!"
Zhang Lingfeng's slightly tired voice sounded from the communication talisman.
"Hello, Senior Brother Zhang."
Xu Ke responded casually, "I wonder if Senior Brother Zhang is looking for me. What orders do you have?"
Back then, when Xu Ke was still farming in Hedongfang and was still poor, Zhang Lingfeng once gave Xu Ke a "spiritual wine recipe".
Although Xu Ke didn't quite agree with the path Zhang Lingfeng wanted to take, he still remembered this feeling.
In Xu Ke's view, Zhang Lingfeng's matter was not a sinful thing if it was just between him and his concubine, let alone a lot of evil.
It's just that... if it involves the struggle between Jindan sects, it will be very serious, but I don't know how deeply Zhang Lingfeng is involved.
"Junior Brother Xu, um... I made a mistake in my trip and violated the sect's rules. I wonder if Junior Brother has heard about this?"
While Xu Ke was thinking, Zhang Lingfeng spoke to Xu Ke again.
"I've heard a little bit about this."
Xu Ke answered in a very calm tone, without any emotion or accusation.
"Junior Brother Xu, I have something to ask you."
Zhang Lingfeng was relieved when he saw that Xu Ke did not reprimand and accuse him "righteously", "I want you to send a message to the sect. I have Master Sinong in my hands, and I want to return Master Sinong to me." Sect, in exchange for our freedom."
"Are you sending a message? This is no problem."
Xu Ke nodded, feeling a little surprised.
With the abilities of Zhang Lingfeng and that concubine, they could actually defeat the Master of Sinong Hall with "full health and no injuries"?
The master of the Sinong Palace, even if he is at the bottom among the sect's big brothers, he still has perfect foundation building skills. He is not a straw bag. How can he be taken down so easily?
Zhang Lingfeng definitely didn't have this ability, so... it was definitely the concubine's trick.
interesting! A concubine actually defeated the master of the Sinong Hall who had completed his foundation building with "full health and no injuries". If there is nothing wrong with this concubine, then there is a ghost!
"Then let's wait for the good news from junior brother!"
After Zhang Lingfeng finished speaking, he immediately hung up the interrogation.
Xu Ke looked at the communication talisman in his hand and sighed.
Brother Zhang, you are probably being treated like a bitch and played around in circles!
So, if you want to become an immortal, you can just become an immortal, practice martial arts, and fight. This is great. Why should you learn how to fall in love?
Falling in love in the spiritual world is very risky!
You have no idea what it is that is falling in love with you. Maybe it's a demon, maybe it's a ghost, maybe it's... a caterpillar?
A bunch of titles such as "Reckless Hero, Undead Knight" flashed through Xu Ke's mind.
Putting aside these messy thoughts, Xu Ke picked up the communication talisman again and sent a message to the master.
Having captured Elder Sui Xing's spiritual thoughts from the Tianxing Sect, the headmaster gave him a "contact information", and Xu Ke could already talk to the headmaster directly.
"Xu Ke? What can you do?"
The real headmaster received the summons and asked questions repeatedly.
The sect had just defected, and Master Minghong, the master of Sinong Hall, had disappeared. Now, the reincarnation of this powerful person has sent a message again. Don't make things worse by adding to the pile of bad things!
"It's not a big deal."
Xu Ke smiled and said, "Just now, Zhang Lingfeng sent me a message, saying that Master Minghong is in his hands, and he wants to use Master Minghong in exchange for their freedom."
"Oh? Interesting!"
When the real headmaster heard this, he raised his eyebrows and asked, "What do you think about this matter?"
"If you are not in your position, you will not be in charge!"
Xu Ke replied casually, "I am a farmer in the Si Nong Hall and I can't care about this kind of thing. However, this matter seems to be just a romantic incident, but we have to think about it on a deeper level."
"Haha! I think so too!"
The real headmaster laughed, "It's better to think more deeply and be prepared! You tell Zhang Lingfeng and tell him that I agree. As long as the master of the Sinong Palace is returned, we will let them go free."
"As long as the headmaster knows what's going on."
Xu Ke nodded, then hung up the communication, and sent another summons to Zhang Lingfeng.
"Senior Brother Zhang, the Master has agreed. As long as you return the Master of Sinong Hall, we will let you go free."
"Now, agree on a place and leave Master Sinong there. You can just leave. The sect will not pursue him any further."
Hearing Xu Ke's words, Zhang Lingfeng was obviously stunned for a while.
Do you agree? Could it be a scam?
But... no matter whether it is a scam or not, this is the only way. He was going to run away anyway. It was impossible to run away with Palace Master Sinong, let alone directly kill Palace Master Sinong. That would be a deadly feud.
Now that the Master of Sinong Palace is returned, there will be some sympathy left, so that the sect will not be furious and pursue him to the end.
Thinking of this, Zhang Lingfeng could only accept the matter and said, "Junior Brother Xu, I will tell you the position of Master Sinong Hall later."
After finishing speaking, Zhang Lingfeng hung up the summons.
On the sandbank of Yanghe River.
Zhang Lingfeng put down the communication talisman and smiled at the beautiful woman, "Things went unexpectedly well. The sect agreed to let us go free."
"Great! Ling Feng, we can be together forever!"
The beautiful woman was surprised and happy. She hugged Zhang Lingfeng and cried with joy.
Afterwards, the two hid the master of the Sinong Palace on the sandbank, arranged a simple protection, and left him alone.
After releasing the flying boat, the two of them flew through the air and fled.
It was not until the third night that Zhang Lingfeng sent a message to Xu Ke, telling Xu Ke where the master of the Sinong Palace was hiding.
"Junior Brother Xu, we have a long way to go. I may never see you again from now on, and our reunion will be indefinite!"
After hanging up the summons, Zhang Lingfeng looked back at the room behind him. Thinking of the beautiful figure in the room, a smile appeared on his face.
"Let everything in the past end here! I have a new life and a new beginning!"
Zhang Lingfeng crushed the communication talisman, as if he had cut off everything in the past. He felt relaxed and could pursue his own happy life wholeheartedly from now on.
"Yan'er, we..."
Zhang Lingfeng turned around and went back to his room, pushed the door open excitedly, and then...
The lingering fragrance is still there, and the shadows of people are gone.
For this girl, he gave up his pursuit, his own path, his sect, his fellow disciples, and everything, just to be with him for the rest of his life... gone.
Since ancient times, passion has always left room for hatred, and good dreams are the easiest to wake up from.
There was never any mutual love, no vow of love, only deception and use!
"Ha ha ha ha ha ha ha……"
Zhang Lingfeng laughed so much that tears flowed down his face.
"Let me tell you, how could I be so easily moved, so easily loved to the point of death, and so easily loved to the point of abandoning everything?"
"It turns out... this girl's thing is just a 'love charm'!"
Without the presence of the girl, the spell will naturally become ineffective.
At this moment, Zhang Lingfeng completely woke up, but... there was no turning back!
The world is dangerous! What a dangerous world!
Zhang Lingfeng sat down on the ground in despair, his eyes had lost their sparkle.
After a moment, Zhang Lingfeng was suddenly startled.
wrong! This is a game! This is a trap set against the sect!
Don't go pick up Master Minghong, there is an ambush there!
Zhang Lingfeng hurriedly went to get the communication talisman, only to find that... the communication talisman had been crushed by him just now.
In order to cut off the past, and to prevent the sect from following the spiritual power of the communication talisman to pursue him, he crushed the communication talisman.
"Without the corresponding spiritual power mark, even if I buy a new communication talisman, I won't be able to contact the sect's people!"
"Before that person left, he must have given me a hint through the 'Love Spell', which made me crush the communication talisman so that I could not deliver the message."
"It's over! It's all over!"
"Why didn't you kill me? Do you want to keep me and watch me make a big mistake, watch the elders of the sect being ambushed, watch the sect fall, and make me live in pain and regret for the rest of my life? "
Zhang Lingfeng clenched his fists tightly, endless pain and regret surging in his heart.
In this life, even if you end up in poverty and fall into hell, I will definitely kill you with the sword!
——
"You didn't kill him?"
In mid-air, two human figures flew through the air in the light of escape.
A figure shrouded in a black robe looked at the beautiful woman next to him and said with a smile: "You don't really have feelings for him, do you?"
"Presumptuous! Is it your turn to take care of my affairs?"
The beautiful woman's face was as frosty as she stared coldly at the man in black robe.
"Don't dare!"
The man in black robe chuckled, "I'm worried that you will be affected by this body and have some inexplicable feelings. You know, we and them are blood feuds of life and death! This hatred will not last forever!"
"I know it well!"
The beautiful woman snorted coldly, changed the subject, and said, "Have the decorations in other places been completed?"
"Of course! Everything is set up."
The man in black robe nodded, and bowed his hand to the beautiful woman, "High Priest, you are indeed far-sighted and have calculated everything perfectly."
"No need to flatter!"
The beautiful woman flicked her sleeves and said, "Let's go to the next place! There is a big show over there!"
——
The master master took up the escape light, flew through the air, and hurried to the Yanghe sandbank.
Not long after, the master master came to the sky above the sandbank. With a glance, Lihuo's golden eyes were activated, and a golden light flashed in his eyes, searching for Master Minghong's location.
Under the scanning of Li Huo's golden eyes, the headmaster quickly found Master Minghong who was unconscious under the willow tree.
With a shudder, Master Master fell under the willow tree, waved his hand to remove the simple protection Zhang Lingfeng had put up, and rescued Master Minghong.
Then... Master Minghong exuded a faint fragrance.
"Hmm? Zuixianxiang?"
The headmaster frowned, held his breath, turned to his inner breath, and quickly released a burst of spiritual power to isolate the drunken immortal fragrance.
The next moment, there was only a sound of water.
The water surface of the Yang River outside the sandbar suddenly rolled, and the rippling water waves covered the entire sandbar in an instant.
If you look closely, where are the waves? It was clear that countless sword lights were rippling like water waves!
"Canglang Sword Formation?"
The headmaster frowned and said, "You, the Manghe Sword Sect, are going to take a dip in the troubled waters?"
