Wei Shiqi opened his long legs and walked slowly ahead. Lan Xiang had not closed her eyes all night, and she was not used to walking. She was stumbling. After a while, she felt severe pain in the soles of her feet. She gritted her teeth and said nothing. He ran with all his strength until his legs gave out and he rushed forward, but his legs and feet couldn't keep up, and he fell forward.

Her nose felt sore, and as she saw large and small gravels coming towards her face, a thought flashed through her mind, no matter what, if she fell down, her appearance might not be saved!

Wei Shiqi took half a step back in time, held her steady, and asked casually: "Are those people following behind Hua Manlou's thugs?"

Lan Xiang looked back and saw a few tough figures hiding their heads. One of them, a man with a scarred face, looked very familiar. She bit her lip and said, "Yes, they are here to take me back."

"Hua Manlou is so unruly. He even came to arrest people after receiving ransom money."

"They don't know the young master. If he is powerful, they would never dare to do something dirty."

Wei Shiqi was too lazy to be acquainted with these people, so he put his arms around Lan Xiang's waist, picked her up with a little force, said "be careful", and with a sway, he had already stepped over ten feet. The thug behind saw that the momentum was not going well, so he shouted, spread his legs and chased forward. However, he chased further and further away, only two small black dots were seen, and they quickly disappeared among the trees.

The scarred-faced man who led the way slowed down, put his hands on his knees, and huffed and puffed like a bellows. Another tall, thick man dragged his feet to his side, and his knees went weak and he knelt on the ground, out of breath. He took the breath and said: "Big brother... still... can you chase me..."

The scar-faced man slapped him feebly, "You're running so fast... How can I catch up... Go back, go back..." He said this, but he was secretly glad in his heart. Fortunately, he didn't catch up. He was not a good person at first glance. , If we really catch up, I’m not sure who will suffer!

Wei Shiqi held Orchid Xiang in his arms and ran like a galloping horse into the woods. Seeing no one around, he took out the Hidden Snow Sword, rose up with the sword, turned into a blue light, and flew towards the Immortal Capital Peak.

The wind whistled in her ears, and the mountains and rivers passed by her feet. Lan Xiang's heart was hanging in her throat, her legs and feet were weak with shock, and she was stunned. After a long time, she stammered: "You...you can fly." ?Are you...an immortal?"

"No, I'm just a cultivator. If you have the chance, you can do it too." Wei Shiqi spit out the Gentu True Essence to shield her from the strong wind in the sky, and said in her ear, "My surname is Wei, and my name is Wei Shi Seven, I will send you to a place to meet a person. If everything goes well, you can stay there and practice. If successful, even if you cannot become a sword cultivator, you can still live longer."

Lan Xiang blinked, and it took him a long time to realize that he had introduced himself into the Immortal Sect and given him a chance to seek immortality. In the back garden of the Marquis' Mansion in Luocheng, she heard the eldest son of the Hou family talking about the immortals who flew to the sky and escaped from the earth and lived forever. She was filled with envy. She never thought that things were unpredictable and after so many years, she would have the opportunity to embark on the path to immortality.

"Will the young master also stay?" she asked with a trembling voice.

"I have other important things to attend to, so I can't take care of you. Don't worry, I'm still a bit thin-faced there."

Lan Xiang sighed secretly, knowing that he had made up his mind and could not ask for anything more. She slowly relaxed her body and leaned into Wei Shiqi's arms. Her thoughts came and went, and she was in a trance. She didn't know what she was thinking.

This flight lasted a whole day, and she had no water or rice. She was exhausted. In the end, Lan Xiang couldn't hold on anymore, and she was almost hanging on Wei Shiqi's body, as if she had no bones. Wei Shiqi didn't pity her either. It wasn't until Tiandu Peak was in sight that he took out a Bigu Pill and stuffed it into her mouth.

The elixir melts in the mouth, a warmth rises from the belly, Lan Xiang's spirit is lifted, hunger and thirst disappear, and the hands and feet gradually become stronger. She looked carefully and saw two peaks standing side by side under the setting sun, with clouds lingering and reflecting the white snow like fire.

Wei Shiqi descended in front of the Tiandu Peak stone chamber and put his feet on the ground. Lan Xiang was almost unsteady. She hurriedly held his arm, closed her eyes, opened her eyes, and closed her eyes again. She felt that the world was spinning and she was at a loss. A group of trial disciples looked at each other in confusion, not knowing who was coming. After a while, an honest man stood out from the crowd and called himself Rong Huan. He was a disciple of Zhang Jinghe. He respectfully met his senior and asked about the purpose of his visit.

Wei Shiqi asked: "Are Senior Brother Lu and Senior Sister Zhang here?"

The sloppy Qi Yunhe has been dead for many years, leaving behind the long-bearded Lu Shizhong and the yellow-shirted Zhang Jinghe, who are still guiding and testing disciples year after year under Tiandu Peak, practicing the basic Taoist methods.

After a while, a Taoist nun in yellow clothes hurried over, saluted Wei Shiqi, and said, "I heard that my junior brother has left Xianyun Peak and returned in a hurry, but there are other important matters?"

"Senior Sister Zhang, it's been a long time. How is Senior Brother Lu?"

Zhang Jinghe paused and sighed slightly, "Senior Brother Lu came down from the mountain a few years ago after serving twenty years of hard labor."

If a disciple from Xiandu has served twenty years of hard labor in the outer sect, he can go down to the mountain and become a rich man, marry a wife, have children, and spread his branches. Xiandu will keep him safe for twenty years. If he has served fifty years of hard labor, there will be another one. Opportunity - It seems that Lu Shizhong did not want to suffer for another thirty years and chose to go down the mountain.

"There is another senior brother Hou Jiangcheng, who is here?"

Hearing the words "Hou Jiangcheng", Lan Xiang suddenly realized that Hou Jiangdong, Hou Jiangbo, and Hou Jiangcheng were the third sons of Hou Ying of Luocheng who died young?

Zhang Jinghe's expression changed slightly, he thought for a moment, waved his hand to disperse the trial disciples, pulled Wei Shiqi aside, and asked in a low voice: "Junior brother, what do you want to see Hou Jiangcheng for?"

"What's wrong with him?" Wei Shiqi looked at his words and felt something in his heart.

Zhang Jinghe lowered his voice and said: "About a month ago, someone sneaked into the Sanqing Palace at night. The next day, the master summoned the trial disciples from the inner and outer sects to gather in Changying Temple. They found that one person from Hou Jiangcheng was missing. He was neither alive nor dead. Corpse, he is the only one missing."

"What is missing from Sanqing Palace?"

"I don't know. But everyone is spreading the news that Hou Jiangcheng is a secret pile buried by other sects in the Immortal Capital." Zhang Jinghe looked at Wei Shiqi and kept silent. Junior Brother Wei is in Liushi Peak. There are some things that should be more important than her. clear.
