On the high mountain, the swordsman in black looked at the young man with a green face, and his chest kept rising and falling with anger. He naturally knew that what the young man said was true.
Outside Xianyu Mountain, they found three exits, one facing south was a large valley with rugged rocks, covering an area of nearly thousands of miles according to visual inspection;
The other exit is to the west, and there are acres and acres of tall trees everywhere. There is a name there, called the Forest of Eternal Silence. It is a place that even a strong person in the Qiankun Realm cannot visit in an entire month.
There is another one to the north, which is also a forest. Although the scale is not as large as the Everlasting Forest, the combination of mountains and trees makes the mountain road rugged and twists and turns. With their current manpower, wouldn't it be impossible to search them all?
The place was too big and the manpower was limited. The swordsman in black suddenly felt powerless, but he still did not give up and asked: "We have searched the northern mountains and southern mountains. Who is responsible for the Eternal Silence Forest in the west."
As soon as he finished speaking, a cultivator in the late stage of Chengdao walked out, with six people behind him: "Go back to the Young Master, we are in charge of the Western Forest of Eternal Silence."
"Search again." The swordsman in black raised his eyes and scanned the cultivation levels of several people, and ordered firmly.
"yes."
The seven practitioners did not dare to disobey the black-clothed swordsman's order. Since this distrust made them somewhat unhappy, they could only swallow it and endure it.
Array Master Honglao stepped forward and said in a low voice to the black-clothed swordsman: "There are less than three days left before the appointment on the ninth day of the lunar month. Master, if we continue searching, we won't be able to make it to the Qiushui Sword Pond. If we miss it,
It would be bad to have a competition to choose a son-in-law."
The swordsman in black was slightly startled, but still did not change his mind and said: "Look for two more days, and then leave if you can't find it."
Hong Lao was helpless and shook his head at the young man who followed him. The latter quickly gave a clear look, and just like that, more than a dozen practitioners plunged into the boundless forest of eternal silence again.
Two days later, in a mountain channel washed by rain in the far west of the Forest of Eternal Silence, Wu Yingxue weakly opened her eyes. She struggled as she looked at her lower body soaked in mud and dead branches and leaves.
After a long time, he moved less than half a meter, and finally crawled on the ground feebly, waiting for the call of death.
But at this moment, she vaguely heard slight footsteps coming from a certain direction behind her. She wanted to turn her head to see what was approaching her, but she could not move.
Not far away, Shibazakura was lying on the ground, with a blood-red centipede crawling on her smooth back.
"Sister!"
Wu Yingxue raised her hand, used up the last bit of strength left in her body, and used a sword energy. However, this sword energy disappeared in the air as soon as it left the fingertips, and could not hurt Zhi Zhi several meters away.
The red-backed centipede on Sakura's body.
"Sister, I'm sorry!"
Wu Yingxue said weakly and lowered her fingers feebly.
At this moment, a low but loud voice came from behind.
"Amitabha! Good! Good!"
"..." Listening to the Buddha's voice, Wu Yingxue closed her eyes and fell asleep.
…
Somewhere in the Forest of Eternal Silence, the black-clothed swordsman led his entourage, the young man, and the formation master Hong Lao to the muddy woodland where Wu Yingxue had passed. Pointing to the dried blood on the ground, he said: "It's human blood. They passed by here before. Immediately
Go find it."
"Sir, tomorrow is the ninth day of the Lunar New Year appointment, we can't delay it any longer." Array Master Hong Lao stepped forward and reminded the swordsman in black regardless of offending him.
The swordsman in black paused for a moment, then pointed at the formation master Hong Lao and said: "You lead a few people and continue chasing. I will take a step first, find the person, and bring the body back."
"yes."
After the black-clothed swordsman finished speaking, he reluctantly left the Forest of Eternal Silence, and the array master he left behind, Mr. Hong, continued to search along the road along with nearly half of his men, following the bloody clues left behind.
…
On the other side, at the foot of Xianyu Mountain, Feng Jueyu led Yi Bingyan, Guangxiao Zhenren, Lin Lie, Dezi, Huang Tianjue, Han Baobao, Feng Qingxiao, and finally arrived at the entrance of Lingxin Valley.
Under the clouds and mist in the distant mountains, Feng Jueyu unleashed his powerful spiritual consciousness with all his strength, sensing the collapsed spiritual energy of the formation around him. After a moment, he rose from the ground and flew to the entrance of the Lingxin Valley Mountain Protection Formation.
"Is this the Lingxin Valley of Xianyu Mountain?"
Feng Qingxiao stepped forward to survey the landform and said, "Yes, there is indeed a deep valley here, right inside, but I don't recognize the owner inside."
"Xie Ran!" Feng Jueyu frowned and shouted.
Xie Ran, the master of the red-clothed palace, rushed over with nearly a thousand red-clothed blood servants.
"Deputy Master."
"Go in and look to see if anyone is inside."
When Feng Jueyu spoke, his fists were clenched, and veins popped out on the back of his hands. He was obviously enduring great anger and was affected by his emotions. In addition, Wu Yingxue's life and death was uncertain at the moment, and the rest of the people had no unnecessary nonsense.
Like arrows leaving the string, they all rushed into Lingxin Valley in an instant.
"Deputy Sect Leader, there used to be a mountain-protecting formation here, but it was forcibly destroyed a few days ago." Master Guangxiao was walking in the middle of the team. When entering Lingxin Valley, he found several broken pieces of strange stones from the flower field nearby.
Based on the placement of the strange crystal stones, it was quickly analyzed that this was the center of the Lingxin Valley Mountain Protection Formation.
Feng Jueyu didn't answer, and his face was scary and gloomy. Seeing this, Yi Bingyan quickly walked into Lingxin Valley.
Everyone rushed to Lingxin Valley and were immediately shocked by the sight of corpses everywhere in the valley.
Although there are not many servants in the huge Lingxin Valley, the valley is filled with a sense of death. Several thatched cottages and caves in the valley exude the smell of rotting corpses. There is a strong smell of corpses in the air, which is constantly spreading.
Diffused.
"Deputy Sect Master, there are survivors here."
"Whoa!"
After hearing this, everyone quickly walked towards the direction where the sound came from on the right.
Not long after, a red-robed swordsman walked over carrying a maid with sword wounds all over her body, and carefully placed the maid on the ground.
Yi Bingyan walked over and stretched out her hand to feel under the maid's breath. Then without saying a word, she raised her palm to gather a green aura of light. She turned her palm downward and forced the aura of light into the maid's body. Then she massaged several times.
Next, force the maid to wake up.
The maid opened her eyes and saw practitioners standing around with sharp weapons. She was suddenly startled and showed a panicked and frightened expression.
Yi Bingyan stepped forward and squatted on the ground, softly comforting: "Don't be afraid, we are not bad people. Where is your Valley Master? Who on earth did this murder and killed all the Valley Master's people."
The maid looked at Yi Bingyan in panic, and said in a panic: "I don't know either. They are more than a dozen masked men in black. They are all highly skilled. Among them is a swordsman from the late Qiankun period. He is very young. They are all
He came in and started killing people, and all the sisters died."
"What about your Valley Master? There is another person named Wu Yingxue? Have you seen him?"
"Witch girl? Valley Master's junior sister?"
"That's her." Everyone became more energetic as they listened.
"I don't know. When that group of thieves came a few days ago, I vaguely heard them arguing with the Valley Master. I just heard a few words, which seemed to be some kind of academy, Rising Tide Sword Technique."
"Academy? Shanhai Academy?"
Feng Jueyu was shocked. At the same time, an inexplicable evil fire rose endlessly in his body.
"How did the people from Shanhai Academy find this place?" Lin Lie scratched his head and puzzled: "Even if they were not angry about Xiaoyue Sect's destruction of Shenglong Mountain, they would have gone to Lingzhou to find them. How could they travel thousands of miles to pursue Elder Wu?
Found the Zhongtian Realm?"
Everyone couldn't help but become suspicious. Master Guangxiao said: "I have heard that the Tide Sword Technique is a martial art of Shanhai Academy. As a disciple of the Academy, almost all of them have dabbled in it."
"Tianjue, you have stayed in Lingzhou the longest, can you see the sword wounds on her body?" Feng Jueyu asked, holding back his anger.
Huang Tianjue stepped forward to check, shook his head and said: "The sword wound on her body does have the aura of the water element, but I'm not sure. Second brother, why don't you have someone bring back a corpse? My father-in-law lives in Lingzhou."
, should know the origin of these sword wounds better than we do."
"Xie Ran."
"Yes, Deputy Sect Master."
No order was needed from Feng Jueyu, Xie Ran immediately ordered several red-clothed swordsmen to pack up several corpses and take them with them, and rushed to Lingzhou.
"Brother Feng, there is a paradise inside here, and there have been fierce battles."
At this time, Dezi ran out of Yelan Cave.
"Go over and have a look."
The group of people found Yelan Cave based on a series of clues left by Lingxin Valley, and soon discovered the secret passage in Yelan Cave.
After observing the surroundings for a moment, Yi Bingyan categorically deduced: "Husband, when something unexpected happens, Wu Yingxue and his senior sister should escape into this paradise. There are twelve Buddha statues here, which should be a powerful restriction. We are here
Signs of cave collapse were found at the entrance. It should be that the group of thieves were blocked by the ban when they chased in. It seemed that someone was injured, but no body was found. It seems that the group of thieves did not want to leave any clues and took away the injured people.
, and Wu Yingxue and her senior sister left along the secret passage."
As soon as he finished speaking, Han Baobao ran out of the cave and said, "I checked clearly. There are three exits inside, but I don't know which direction the people escaped."
Hearing this, Feng Jueyu glanced back at Xie Ran and said, "Xie Ran, is there any news from the sect?"
"not yet."
Everyone let out a sigh of relief, and Yi Bingyan said: "Husband, don't worry yet. Since there is no news from the sect, it means that Miss Yingxue's soul card is still intact and she is still alive. God finally opened her eyes."
"Yes." Feng Jueyu breathed a sigh of relief, but the anger accumulated in his heart couldn't stop rising.
"Shanhai Academy, I just want to practice in Lingzhou in peace, and I don't want to get involved in the dispute between you and the Splendid Paradise. I didn't expect that if I didn't take action, you would take the initiative first. Okay, then don't blame me, Feng Jueyu, for not doing anything.
