It was getting late at night, but the lights in Greenstone City were still brightly lit. Especially in the center of the city, an open-air banquet was held as never before. There were still many people coming and going at this moment, and it was filled with a festive atmosphere.<
/p>
At this moment, Sun Huo, the protagonist of this banquet, was being toasted and congratulated by five or six well-known local leaders at the wine table in the center. He didn't know how many rounds of such wine he had drank, and he didn't know how many rounds of such wine he had.
I can’t remember how many people who came to congratulate me in return, and my face was frozen with laughter, but it didn’t seem to be the end yet.
Suddenly, a bad wind emerged out of thin air, sweeping in countless green leaves along with flying sand and rocks, making everyone unable to open their eyes for a while and screaming.
When the wind calmed down, a group of people discovered that Sun Huo on the stage had disappeared. When they were panicking and sending people around to search, a loud voice came from the air.
"The grace of immortals never lasts forever, and fate has its consequences.
Mountains and rivers always meet, and we can look forward to it in the future."
After hearing this, the people below realized that Sun Huo's public appearance was not accidental, and he actually came to say goodbye. Emotions such as surprise, surprise, loss, sadness, etc. spread instantly, bringing about an unexpected wave of emotions.
Quite a mess.
"What do you want to do? Do you really want to protect these mortals here forever? Do you have the ability?" In the darkness of the alley, Mu Xin grabbed Sun Huo's shoulders.
"I..." Sun Huo was speechless for a moment, not knowing what to say, but when he saw the joyful and sad scene outside, he couldn't bear it.
"Let's go. They will slowly accept this result." After saying this, Mu Xin let go of Sun Huo and turned around to leave.
Clenching his fists and looking twice more, Sun Huo finally made up his mind and forced himself to walk away.
"Why? Why did you make this arrangement without telling me in advance?" After a moment, Sun Huo, who caught up with Mu Xin, asked in puzzlement and eagerness.
"Why, are you blaming me for interrupting the banquet and not having enough fun?" Mu Xin responded nonchalantly as he looked at the frustrated Sun Huo who blocked his way.
"Enjoy yourself? One bowl after another without stopping. Are you going to let me drink it to death? How come I can't see anyone and don't come to participate. No, don't change the subject. I'm asking you why you want to do this all of a sudden.
It is announced that a celebration will be held. I can see that the people here have not made any preparations in advance. Everyone is busy because of your words, and now you suddenly say that I want to leave them, are you too casual?
Already?"
A surge of anger emerged from his heart, and Mu Xin suddenly opened his eyes and stared at Sun Huo.
"Do whatever you want? I think you have stayed here for too long and have forgotten your identity, right? Xueyan."
Sun Huo's heart trembled when he heard this, not only because of Mu Xin's sudden burst of anger, but also because of the existence of dark clouds when he suddenly heard his name.
"Wuyun's order has been sent, summoning us to return to the sect. Do you think this is a random act?"
"How could it be? Brother, I didn't mean to..."
Sun Huo felt panic. Some things are like this. You already know that it will happen, but when it actually comes, it is still difficult to face it completely calmly.
"You still have one day. If you have unfinished business, do it quickly. If not, it's time to set off at dawn." After saying this, Mu Xin made countless green leaves with his hands and turned into countless green leaves in front of Sun Huo.
Scattered in all directions.
He hurriedly stretched out his hand, but it was empty. Looking at the empty front, Sun Huo couldn't help but feel very lost and sad. Even after more than half a year of study and self-cultivation, he was still too restless and did not know the whole situation.
Love is good at making judgments. What I said just now has hurt the hearts of the people closest to me.
"I'm sorry. There won't be a next time." After standing for a moment, Sun Huo murmured an apology. Then he suddenly leaned down and jumped up, running into the distance in a few leaps.
Although it was said that there was still one day left, because of the misunderstanding just now, Sun Huo did not want Mu Xin to wait too long. Especially now, even though he was not drunk after drinking so much wine, this was full of
The smell of alcohol in his body is not suitable for what he is going to do.
Taking advantage of the night wind and speed on the road, Sun Huo planned to completely dissipate all the alcohol in his body first, so that his mind could be completely clear, so that he could sort out his thoughts and return to the best state, and then do the two unfinished things.
.
The only temporary quiet place that Sun Huo can think of in this city is his old residence. He has not been back in the past few years, and he doesn't know how dilapidated it is, or whether it has been occupied by outsiders. But even in the latter case, he
He didn't want to care too much. After all, it was fate to come back this time, and there might not be another chance in the future. At this moment, he felt a little regretful that he had not thought of it earlier and had been living in an academy outside the city.
Because a celebration banquet was held, most of the houses Sun Huo saw along the way were empty, so he moved more freely and did not cover his tracks too much.
But when Sun Huo arrived at his destination and jumped over the courtyard wall, he was unexpectedly surprised. There was a person standing quietly in the dark courtyard, with his back facing him as he landed on the ground.
I had expected to wait here in advance.
"Who?!"
"Who?!"
The two of them shouted in unison.
Such a reaction was beyond Sun Huo's expectation, and the other party's voice sounded familiar, but it did not affect him to immediately take a defensive action. While crossing his arms in front of him, two golden lights slowly came out.
Extending from the hand.
Under the illumination of the light blade, Sun Huo saw the opponent's face clearly for the first time. It was actually Li Yan who planned to visit next. Although the person also made a gesture of preparation, he did not attack first.
This couldn't help but make Sun Huo secretly say that he was lucky, otherwise he would have been dead as soon as he got his hands on it.
Similarly, Li Yan was slightly startled when he saw the identity of the visitor, but then he immediately reacted, took a step forward, knelt down, clasped his fists, and saluted. "Li pays homage to the Immortal Master!"
With his spiritual thoughts, he quickly scanned the surrounding environment and confirmed that there were indeed no more third parties present or ambushing him. Moreover, even the door not far away was locked and had not been opened. In Sun Huo's heart
Still doubts are gone.
"Gang Leader Li, it's dark and windy this month. What are you doing here alone? No wonder I didn't see you at tonight's celebration banquet. If I remember correctly, this place doesn't seem to be owned by the Nine Yuan Society.
Right."
"Indeed, this place does not belong to the Jiuyuan Society, nor will it belong to anyone else in the future. Because this is one of your old residences, Master Immortal."
"What did you say?" Hearing that his former residence was revealed, Sun Huo suddenly burst out with terrible pressure.
"Master Immortal, there is no need to be angry. It is not my intention to send people to investigate your past activities, but my fourth sister's." Li Yan stood up slowly, not afraid of Sun Huo's cold eyes that seemed to silence him.
"After discovering that this place existed in the city, she would always come here from time to time over the years and stay alone for a long time. When she didn't come, she would ask her servants to clean it regularly so that the place would not be abandoned." p>
When he suddenly heard the other party mentioning Si Ye, Sun Huo's heart trembled, and the chilling pressure could not help but soften.
"It was me who broke my promise to you and failed to keep her." In this Greenstone City, he did not owe anyone anything, but he owed her the only thing he owed. For a moment, Sun Huo didn't know what to say. "It's not your fault, Master Xian. You've tried your best. Moreover, she did it willingly. If I'm to blame, it's my fault that I used her in a honey trap in order to win you over. But.
God is not as good as man, but it was Fourth Sister who fell in love first, not you."
"What did you say?!" Sun Huo was furious, but his rationality still tried to restrain himself from taking action. He did not expect that the rescue back then was still a game, not purely goodwill.
"Although I don't have a close relationship with you, the Immortal Master, I still know a little bit about your reluctance to show off. But tonight's banquet will be as lively and grand as possible. You must know that there are very few immortal cultivators in the secular world.
You walk in public and show your face to others, but the immortal master already belongs to the sect, but you still stay here for an unexpectedly long time, so I think you are leaving, right." Li Yan raised his head and looked up at the night sky,
No longer meet Sun Huo's eyes.
Hearing this, Sun Huo couldn't help but sigh secretly.
All this was just Mu Xin's temporary decision, and he didn't even know about it in advance. However, he was able to accurately infer from the clues that he was about to leave. This insight and decision-making gained from the experience of a single-handed gang was really important at the moment.
It is beyond his reach, otherwise he would not make Mu Xin angry.
At the same time, Sun Huo became more and more cautious, locking his mind firmly on the other party to prevent any changes, because the atmosphere of this conversation was really weird, completely different from what he expected.
"Yes, I was about to leave. I originally planned to see you again at the party, but I didn't expect to meet you here first. Do you want me to kill you in anger when you say these words now?
"After gathering his composure, Sun Huo asked tentatively. The matter was important, and he didn't want to make the same mistake again.
"Master Immortal's words sound very strange. Have you forgotten that you and I are enemies? This grudge has never been truly settled. Although my father has gone, the information he originally collected about the secret treasure
But it has all spread to me. Now that you have a good future, will you let someone who knows the secret go?"
Sun Huo's heart trembled, but he never expected that Li Yan would bring up the old things again at this time. According to this statement, he really shouldn't leave any behind-the-scenes troubles and should silence them immediately. But this scene, and
It was almost exactly the same when Xiao Feng took the initiative to seek death. Could it be another dead end with no solution? Sun Huo was secretly shocked and his hands started to tremble a little.
Feeling the sudden deathly silence around him, Li Yan stood with his arms crossed as if it had nothing to do with him, as if the words just now did not come from his mouth, and he just looked at Sun Huo quietly without making a sound to urge him.
.
"If it is very difficult to keep secrets for others, then it is better to return the secret treasure to you. He is so obsessed with this thing, and returning it to you can be regarded as inheriting his father's legacy and fulfilling one of his wishes." The voice said.
Before it fell, Sun Huo threw something out with his hand.
Li Yan turned slightly and reached out to grab it. Although it was difficult to see carefully in the dim light, judging from the warm feeling in his hand, it must be a fine piece of jade. He was able to get the rumored secret treasure so easily.
It feels so unreal, I almost want to look up to the sky and laugh wildly.
"You're just going to give it back to me?" Although he was very surprised, he quickly calmed down.
"Isn't it bad?" At this point, Sun Huo's tone became much lighter. "If one day I regret it and want to take it back, I can attack you directly without having to go to the trouble of leaking the secret." Hearing such an answer, Li Yan couldn't help but feel dumbfounded. He didn't expect that Sun Huo would give such an answer that was almost like a gangster, and threw the hot potato back to him, but deep down he still admired Sun Huo more.
Determination to give up.
Li Yan could tell that this secret treasure left in Sun Huo's hands was not at all like his father's obsession with possessing it to dominate the world and enjoy eternal life. On the contrary, it was also a huge burden. Just like his own body.
Although he is the most powerful and famous person in Greenstone City as the leader of the Jiuyuanhui Gang, in the dead of night, he feels extremely trembling, as if he is walking on a cliff and does not feel at all solid.
He has read this information that he painstakingly collected. From the time the secret treasure appeared to the present, although it has shown incredible effects such as rejuvenation and rejuvenation in rumors, those who have dealt with this object have all ended up...
It's miserable. Almost all of them die unexpectedly in various natural and man-made disasters, and they don't end up well. It can be said to be an out-and-out dangerous thing.
In retrospect, it was difficult for Li Yan to believe that the ghost soldiers' robbery and the green stone catastrophe of that year had nothing to do with this object, otherwise Sun Huo would not have appeared in the incident so coincidentally. Although he did not know who
How did he survive, but if he couldn't survive the situation at the time, it would also prove the tragic ending of the rumored death.
Even so, there are still many people like Li Yunfei who have been secretly visiting and searching for many years, with the intention of becoming the master of this treasure. For this reason, Li Yunfei used the power of the gang to secretly eliminate some people who knew about it.
Competitors, and at the same time obtain more intelligence from each other.
"Is this something I can have?" Li Yan couldn't help but ask himself as he held the secret treasure tightly in his hand.
After a while.
Li Yan knelt down again, raised his hands above his head and presented the things to him.
"Master Immortal, please take it back."
"Why? Are you afraid that I will miss you and you will be killed at any time and you will not be able to protect yourself, so you don't dare to take it?"
"I want to boldly ask the immortal master a question. After leaving the green stone and taking it with me to become a true immortal cultivator, have you lived everything smoothly, contentedly, and carefree in these years?"
Li Yan raised his head and looked at Sun Huo with bright eyes.
