Lin Lie, who had been wandering in the mountains for two days and nights at a loss, felt a little dry on his lips when he saw a group of men in black flying past the sky in the distance at an extremely fast speed riding on the dark wind.
He became excited, but originally, martial arts practitioners like them who walked in the grand world were most worried about their own safety. If they encountered strangers, they would always stay away from them and observe them carefully.
The whereabouts and intentions of the visitor will be reflected over and over again before deciding whether to show up.
After all, the most dangerous thing in this world is the human heart. It is not unreasonable to say that the human heart is unpredictable. As an experienced practitioner walking in an unfamiliar field, the best way to protect yourself is to keep a low profile and not expose yourself easily.
Because cultivation is the foundation of a cultivator, if you want to live a long time, you must give people a sense of mystery, call strangers and fellow practitioners, and dare not take action against you easily.
But Lin Lie, who had been aimlessly wandering around Suiluan Star Island for two days and two nights, couldn't receive any reply from his sworn brother Feng Jueyu and couldn't find anyone to inquire about the route. When he saw a group of
After the man in black flew secretly through the sky, he suddenly lost his sense of normalcy and shouted out with great excitement.
"where?"
Everyone had been traveling for two days in a row, and their luck was extremely bad. They didn't even see a ghost, let alone a human figure, and they were all a little disappointed. At this time, Lin Lie shouted that someone was passing by, and everyone seemed to have just been doused in a basin of cold water.
The fire met the ignition point again, and everything came to life with a roar.
The good-hearted Dezi stretched his neck and chased after him. Lin Lie pointed at nearly a dozen men in black flying through the air and said, "Aren't they there?"
"Go over and ask around. It's not easy to find a living creature." The Fanwu Device said somewhat speechlessly.
"Come on, third brother, let's go there together."
Lin Lie said hello, but before he could fly, Xu Zhenzhen followed behind and warned: "Brother Lin, be careful."
"Oh, no defense, just asking for directions."
While he was talking, Lin Lie, Wei Xu, Dezi, Qinghai and Lu Changxing also followed. The five little brothers flew into the sky one after another, chasing after the men in black, and started flying
At the same time, in order to dispel the other party's concerns, Lin Lie shouted from a distance, fearing that the other party would become hostile to them.
"Hey, fellow Taoist in front, please stay."
It was great to roar out this voice. The dozen or so people who were running wildly in the sky turned their heads in unison. Although they were far away and wearing bamboo hats, the cold light emitted by more than a dozen pairs of clear eyes still made Lin Lie and others
Stopping a hundred feet away.
"Who? There is someone here?"
"Sect Master, something is wrong. Could it be that the Four Holy Envoys are catching up?"
"Idiot, we are coming from the west coast, and these people are coming from the south. Unless the news leaks out, there is no way they can rush ahead of us. Don't say anything. They may have met fellow practitioners practicing on the seaside."
The leader in black was holding an unconscious old man with one hand. The old man had chicken skin and white hair, and was about to rot. His breath was so weak that it was almost non-existent. If it weren't for the fact that there was still a trace of breath under his nose, others would have thought that he was dead.
He's a dead man.
Lin Lie was blocked a hundred feet away by the strong aura erupted by the other group. Seeing that these people were full of hostility, he quickly stopped the brothers who were following him. Wei Xu, who was standing on his right, also felt the extraordinary aura of these people.
And his eyes were firmly fixed on the black-clothed leader among them. The powerful and mysterious source of divine power surged back and forth on this man, giving people a particularly dangerous feeling.
Wei Xu's eyes narrowed and he quickly shouted: "Fellow Taoists, please don't misunderstand us, we are just asking for directions."
"Ask for directions?" The leader in black was slightly stunned, but his tone was still cold and he said, "Ask for directions. Ask someone else."
"No, is it necessary to be so unreasonable to ask for directions?" Lin Lie became angry when he heard the other party's unkind tone. However, he did not get angry, but asked with some dissatisfaction: "Where is this place?"
Shattered Star Island?"
"Are you outsiders?" Someone in the black-clothed team said something, but as soon as the words came out, the black-clothed leader glared back.
The two sides seemed to be at a stalemate, and the people in black didn't speak. Lin Lie was a little confused at first glance. But at this moment, Lin Lie, who had sharp eyes, saw the old man in the hands of the leader in black. He stared at Qing, and his heart filled with emotion.
He was suspicious, but because the distance was too far, he couldn't see clearly, so he glanced carefully.
At this moment, the leader in black on the opposite side noticed Lin Lie's strange look in his eyes, and quickly pulled the old man behind him, handed it to his subordinates behind him, and immediately replied: "That's right, this is Broken Star Island.
Is the bit from outside?”
"Ah...yes, I want to ask, is there any resting place here?" Lin Lie was interrupted by the response of the leader in black. When he heard the other party's serious answer, most of the anger in his heart disappeared instantly.
The leader in black said very calmly: "Go from here to the center of the island, and you will see a city. Go there." After finishing speaking, the leader in black turned around and waved to his subordinates, and stopped asking Lin Lie any more questions.
Opportunity, in fact, more than ten people under his command rushed to the southeast.
Lin Lie was satisfied after getting the answer he wanted, so he didn't ask any more questions. However, when the man in black left, he still looked at him twice with doubts. Wei Xu saw his eyes wandering and felt suspicious, so he came over.
Asked: "Second brother, what's wrong?"
"Huh? That's strange. Are there any mortals in the core area of Hongtu World?" Lin Lie asked suspiciously, not knowing whether to ask himself or others.
"Mortal? Why didn't I see it?" Lu Changxing leaned his head over, but when he followed Lin Lie's gaze, he could no longer see it, so he said: "Brother Lin, are you caught by the whirlpool?"
Akira is confused, this is not the secular world, where can we find any mortals?"
"Fart, it's been two days since I came out of the whirlpool. Do I look like such a useless person? Let me tell you, the man in black must have arrested a mortal. I must have read it right." Lin Lie said seriously.
"Oh, mortals are just mortals. What does it have to do with us? Let's go quickly, find the city, and find out the whereabouts of Brother Feng." Dezi didn't take it seriously, thinking that Lin Lie had seen it wrong.
Lin Lie prefers to fight to the death about something, so he looked at Qinghai, who always kept his weight, and said, "Qinghai, did you see it?"
"Uh...I didn't pay attention..."
"Definitely a mortal, I read that right." Lin Lie rolled his eyes and insisted with curiosity in his heart.
Wei Xu, who was standing next to him, disagreed and tugged at the corner of his clothes and said, "Okay, second brother, it's almost time to go. I guess if the eldest brother comes from the same place as us, he will definitely find a way to contact us in the city.
"
"Hmm, I'm just curious. Forget it, it's none of our business anyway. Let's go back and find that city." Lin Lie agreed, and then he forgot about this matter. Not long after, the five brothers
Joined Fan Wudou, Wu Yingxue, and Xu Zhenzhen, and headed towards the center of the island to find Golden Holy City.
But they didn't notice that just after they left, on a mountain peak not far away in the southeast, the leader in black and his men looked at Lin Lie and others with a sinister look in their eyes, and waited on the mountain for a while.
, and then slowly breathed a sigh of relief: "Okay, it's okay, let's go, we'll be there soon."
"Sect Master, why didn't you just kill people and silence them? Those people seemed to have seen Shen Qingqi." One of the men of the black-clothed leader said in confusion.
The black-clothed leader glared at this person with a stern look, lowered his voice and said: "You know nothing, didn't you see that those guys are pretty good at it? The five of them are all in the Dao Cheng realm, but this is not the most important thing.
The most important thing, the most important thing is the barefoot old man on the mountain behind them. This man's cultivation is as good as the world. If we really fight, we will be in a lot of trouble."
The leader in black took a deep breath and said: "Fortunately, these people are not local, and they don't recognize Shen Qingqi. We have spent so much effort to get them, and we must not add any more complications, understand?"
"Understood." All the subordinates nodded, and one of them asked: "So, Sect Leader, should we go into the mountain as planned?"
"The place has been arranged, where can we go if we don't go in? Suiluan Xing Island is so big. If the Four Holy Envoys react, we will have nowhere to hide. Ignore them. These outsiders don't understand the situation and won't
Nonsense, let’s proceed to the mountain as originally planned.”
"yes."
The subordinates took the order, and then they ran for more than ten miles and came to a secret cave deep in a certain mountain.
This secret cave is well hidden by weeds and dead trees. There is a stone door in front of the cave, which is controlled by a mechanism.
That's right, it's a mechanism, not a barrier. As for why it was done, I'm afraid only the man in black knows.
After the leader in black took the unconscious Shen Qingqi into the secret cave, he touched a sharp raised stone from the stone wall at the entrance of the secret cave. He turned his hand and the mechanism started. A stone embedded high on the top of the cave entrance
The stone door, which was about one meter thick and two meters wide, made a loud rumbling sound, and then lowered, and it fit perfectly with the ground, without any sense of disharmony.
After the stone gate was lowered, the few men left outside by the black-clothed leader used ancient and troublesome methods to plant several large trees along the cracks in the ground in front of the secret cave door, and then paved the surrounding area with withered grass and broken stones.
, leaving no trace of disguise, and after everything was done, several of his subordinates dispersed and left, taking a detour without knowing where to go.
…
At the same time, Feng Jueyu and Shen Tianbei appeared outside a hidden thatched cottage in a valley, facing two men in black and conducting severe torture.
