The sky is getting dark, the mist is thick, and the deep mountains and forests at night are more terrifying than during the day.
Even the disciples of the Dao First Palace rarely spend the night in the Yunlan Mountains, except of course some disciples who are highly skilled and bold.
In a forest, a young man with dark skin, ordinary appearance, but bright eyes was lying on the ground and carefully observed the traces left on it. Then his figure flashed, and he jumped on the branches.
He walked to a group of people behind him and said to one of them: "Brother Huo, look at the traces, we are not far from them."
Born as a young mountain man, he followed his father for hunting in the mountains since he was a child. He learned the skill of tracking without knowing it. Later, by chance, he joined the Dao First Palace, became an outer disciple, and was assigned to Qingniu Peak.
work.
In his five years of sect cultivation, he has experienced too many things. The entire outer hall is a microcosm of society, which has transformed him from a simple-minded young man into a qualified disciple of Qingniu Peak.
"Well done, let's take a rest here first."
Huo Sheng said.
Without his instructions, some people took their swords and cut down the surrounding trees, quickly cleared an open space, and sprinkled powder that could drive away insects around. Others picked up some dry firewood and made a pile of it.
bonfire.
There were a total of eleven people here, eight men and four women, all warriors of the second realm. After nightfall, they were divided into two groups around a bright bonfire.
These two groups of people were several disciples of the Huo family headed by Huo Sheng, and some Qingniu Peak disciples who clung to the Huo family, a total of eight people including Huo Sheng.
At this time, the two female disciples with proud figures were sitting affectionately on both sides of Huo Sheng. They wanted to stick to each other as if there was no one else around.
The three of them whispered to each other, their movements ambiguous, and from time to time they heard bursts of delicate laughter from the two female disciples.
The two men and one woman on the other side are new disciples who have just joined Qingniu Peak. They are not too old and are considered geniuses outside. Because they have just joined Qingniu Peak, they instinctively get together and think about their own concerns.
.
"Hey, you guys go get some water and come back."
A young man holding a sharpened wooden stick between his teeth threw several water bags in front of the three people, interrupting their meditation.
"Why let us go?"
Among the three, the pretty girl suddenly frowned. She had always been served by others at home, and she had never served anyone else.
"Just go as you are told. There is no reason! Why? You just entered the peak and you don't want to listen to your senior brother?"
The young man squinted his eyes, looking up and down at your pretty girl's figure, and his tone was cold.
"No problem, let's go now."
Another teenager quickly picked up the water bag on the ground, picked up the two people next to him and walked out.
After the three of them walked a certain distance in the forest, the girl suddenly pulled her hand back and said, "That guy just now was clearly bullying us on purpose. Why should we go and fetch water for him?"
Looking at his companion who was so angry that he kept bullying, the boy holding the water bag scratched his head, "But if we don't go, they will have reason to deal with us."
"He dares!"
"Okay, Junior Sister Liu, don't say such childish words. This is not your home, and you can't do whatever you want. If you can't accept this, I advise you to leave the sect and go home as soon as possible. This place is not suitable for you, otherwise, say
You may lose your life one day."
After the other cold-faced boy finished speaking, he turned around and continued walking towards the forest.
"Senior brother, wait for me, do you know where the water source is?"
"Well, just follow me."
Looking at the two companions who were about to disappear into the darkness, the girl hesitated for a moment and quickly chased after them.
At the same time, in the dimly lit dense forest, Yang Xiaoxin's figure was like an agile cheetah, jumping quickly and silently from the branches. When she saw the firelight coming through the branches in front of her, she immediately stopped
Come down and press your body against the tree trunk.
"Haha, these three guys are the most talented among the new disciples who have joined the peak. They are also very strong. They are young and arrogant. If they are not given some pain, how can they be willing to follow Senior Brother Huo?"
"Just watch and don't overdo it. Those three people will definitely be some good helpers when they grow up in the future."
"Don't worry, I'm the best at training newbies. I won't make any mistakes. I guarantee that they will be docile within half a month. What the hell -"
"puff!"
"No, Gao Chong was killed, there are enemies!"
"Have you seen who it is?"
"No, it was too fast. In the blink of an eye, Gao Chong's head fell off."
Hearing the noise in front, Yang Xiaoxin immediately moved closer.
I saw seven people standing in a circle back to back in an open space, holding weapons in their hands and looking around warily.
Suddenly, a slight sound broke through the air. Yang Xiaoxin, who was hiding in the big tree, didn't see anything clearly at all. She saw the heads of two of them slowly falling to the ground, and blood spurted out from their necks.
"Who is it? Come out quickly, don't be sneaky."
Three people died at once, and no one saw the other party. The heavy pressure made the remaining five people confused.
"Puff puff!"
There was another sound of breaking through the air, and except for Huo Sheng and the Heart-Eating Beast standing at his feet, everyone else in the open space became headless corpses.
"Senior, please spare my life. If you have any requests, just say them. I, Huo Sheng, will definitely fulfill them."
Huo Sheng's face turned pale and he knelt directly on the ground. There was no look of arrogance at all, only humility and deep fear. At this time, he could see from the flat wounds on the corpses that the person who dealt with him was probably a person.
A soul cultivator who is famous for being in the third realm or above.
A long sword similar to the Eight-sided Han Sword suddenly floated over Huo Sheng's head.
Feeling the sharp aura coming from the sky, Huo Sheng's whole body began to tremble. He did not dare to raise his head, for fear that any slight movement would trigger a thunderous strike from the soul cultivator hiding in the dark.
Yang Xiaoxin never expected that such a scene would appear. She followed quietly. She originally planned to tip off Niu Xiaosheng, but now she saw such a tragic scene.
"Crack!"
Suddenly, a slight sound came from the branches under my feet. Although the sound was not loud, it was extremely clear in this silent night.
Yang Xiaoxin's soul trembled, and the blood in her body seemed to have stopped flowing, and her whole body froze.
A few inches in front of her, the long sword that was originally suspended above Huo Sheng's head was facing her eyebrows.
At this moment, Yang Xiaoxin felt the breath of death.
At this moment, the long sword suddenly changed direction, instantly caught up with Huo Sheng, who was escaping in a hurry, and stabbed him through the heart.
