When Gu Tian and his party stopped, they immediately discovered that Chen Xi was missing from the team.
"Oops, that guy is only at the Golden Core level. Could he have failed to keep up?" a guard said worriedly.
"Could he have been killed?" someone asked in surprise.
The scene of "a group of ghosts worshiping the moon" is too terrifying. Let alone those who are in the Golden Core Realm, they are also in the Underworld Realm and the Earthly Immortal Realm. If they don't dodge in time, they will probably be killed.
"Shut up!"
Gu Tian frowned and scolded, "Rest where you are. After a stick of incense, if Chen Xi doesn't come again, you will escort the young lady on the road, and I will go back to investigate."
One of the guards couldn't help but said: "If he is really..."
Gu Tian waved his hand and interrupted: "Don't jump to conclusions!"
Everyone was silent, but there was a vague feeling in their hearts that Chen Xi was afraid that he would never come back this time. The ghosts were worshiping the moon, and the ghost king appeared in the world. How could he let a little guy in the golden elixir realm be spared?
"Miss? Why don't you stay in the precious chariot?" Gu Tian glanced and saw Cui Qingning walking down from the bronze precious chariot.
"Uncle Gu Tian, is Brother Chen Xi okay?" The girl pursed her lips, with an unconcealable look of worry on her pale and childish face, and even a hint of self-blame.
She seemed to feel that it was because she was too negligent and failed to take good care of Chen Xi that she fell behind and his whereabouts are still unknown.
"Miss, Chen Xi is a good person and nothing will happen to him. You don't have to worry." Gu Tian comforted him in a warm voice.
"That's right, brother Chen Xi can even dodge Qing Xiao's assassination, so he will definitely be fine." Cui Qingning's eyes lit up and she said confidently.
Seeing this, Gu Tian couldn't help but sigh in his heart, and said to himself: "I hope so too."
Thinking of this, Gu Tian suddenly raised his head and muttered: "Miss, is Mr. Cui Ming in Black Cliff City reliable?"
Cui Qingning was stunned and said: "Sixth cousin has taken good care of me since I was a child, and his father is my third uncle and has the best relationship with my father. He should not side with the second elder and the others."
Gu Tian seemed to be secretly relieved and said: "That's good. When we arrive at Black Cliff City, we will use the power of Mr. Cui Ming to activate the moving formation in the city and rush to the Huangquan Region. In this way, our opponents will inevitably come back again.
You can’t catch up with us.”
Cui Qingning nodded, and then she didn't know what to think of. There was a look of confusion and loss in her eyes, "But I'm worried that even if I return to the clan, I will..."
Gu Tian patted the girl on the shoulder and stopped her: "Miss, don't worry. When I return to the clan, I will contact the old brothers in the Criminal Law Department to protect the girl."
"Hey! Look, that seems to be Chen Xi..."
At this time, one of the guards seemed to have discovered something and made a sound of surprise.
"It is indeed Chen Xi, but why is there an extra person beside him?"
Everyone else also noticed that in the far distance, two figures were coming quickly. The leader was Chen Xi, but behind them was a strange woman.
"Is it possible that Chen Xi was coerced by that woman and wants to harm us?" A guard frowned, with a cold and stern look in his eyes.
Gu Tian waved his hand, signaling everyone to calm down.
However, his expression also became solemn, because he could clearly sense that the woman who looked as cold as ice had strength that was not inferior to his own!
In other words, the opponent's cultivation level is at least around the fourth level of Earth Immortal.
This is too strange. They have only been together for a short cup of tea. How could Chen Xi befriend such a powerful woman? There must be something fishy in this!
Realizing this, Gu Tian protected Cui Qingning behind him without leaving a trace, secretly on guard.
"Sorry to keep everyone waiting."
Chen Xi slowed down from a thousand feet away and walked step by step with a magnanimous manner.
He also noticed that there was a hint of wariness in the eyes of Gu Tian and others, obviously because there was an extra Bei Ling beside him.
"Oh, this is..." Chen Xi started, planning to introduce Bei Ling's identity to dispel the misunderstanding in everyone's minds.
At this time, Bei Ling rushed to speak and said: "I am Bei Ling, and now I am his maid."
Hearing this, not only Gu Tian and others were stunned, but even the corners of Chen Xi's lips couldn't help but twitch, and he glanced at Bei Ling strangely.
maid?
I swear to God, he had never discussed this with Beiling before. In other words, these were all Beiling's own words.
Unfortunately, this rhetoric is too lame...
Chen Xi sighed secretly in his heart. He suddenly regretted keeping his aura around the Golden Core realm.
Sure enough, the next moment, Gu Tian and others even looked at Chen Xi with a hint of vigilance.
Probably in their eyes, this is simply a lie full of flaws. How can a strong Earth Immortal be willing to become the maid of a guy in the Golden Core Realm?
Moreover, this maid is so beautiful, not only her clothes are exquisite and gorgeous, but her manners are also so elegant and calm. Just like a lady born in a noble family, how could she condescend to be a maid?
unusual!
How abnormal!
Chen Xi opened his mouth and was about to explain, but he saw Cui Qingning had already spoken clearly, "Brother Chen Xi, just come back. I was very worried about you just now."
As she said that, she happily ran to Chen Xi and hugged his arm.
Seeing this scene, Gu Tian was so frightened that he trembled all over and shouted: "Miss!"
Cui Qingning raised her head and asked doubtfully: "Uncle Gu Tian, what's wrong?"
Gu Tian looked at Chen Xi, then at Bei Ling, and finally shook his head: "It's nothing."
Chen Xi knew very well what Gu Tian was thinking, and couldn't help but be speechless for a while. He walked forward and quickly whispered something into Gu Tian's ear.
"Really?" Gu Tian was shocked, a look of astonishment flashed in his eyes.
Chen Xi nodded.
Gu Tian glanced at Bei Ling blankly, shook his head, and there was a hint of sympathy in his expression.
Next, without wasting any more time, everyone started on their way.
According to Gu Tian, if they run with all their strength, they can reach Black Cliff City in less than two days. Once there, their situation will become much safer.
On the way, Bei Ling suddenly asked: "What did you just say to him?"
Chen Xi sighed and said, "Do you really want to listen?"
Bei Ling nodded, looking very serious.
"I said that you were careless. You mistakenly took Meng Po Decoction and lost your memory. As a result, you mistakenly thought that I was your young master. You will follow me to the death. You can't drive me away, so you can only take me with you." Chen Xi told the truth,
Somewhat apologetically.
What he didn't expect was that Bei Ling didn't seem to be annoyed, and nodded thoughtfully: "That's a good reason."
Chen Xi was startled. He didn't expect that this woman seemed cold and proud, but she actually had a very good temper.
Along the way, all the guards were extremely wary of Bei Ling's sudden joining. However, after Gu Tian told Chen Xi's reasons, everyone immediately showed a hint of sympathy for Bei Ling.
Meng Po Soup is a treasure that can erase even the memories of gods.
No one thought that this strong man at the fourth level of the Earth Immortal Realm would accidentally take Meng Po Tang and lose his memory. This is a bit too pitiful...
Of course, they had doubts about this reason at first, but after walking together for two days, they found that Bei Ling made no move and was following Chen Xi step by step from beginning to end. This suspicion gradually faded away a lot.
Instead, everyone began to envy Chen Xi. They felt that this guy in the Golden Core Realm had a beautiful and elegant Earth Immortal strongman as his maid by accident. It was like a stroke of luck and great fortune.
Two days later.
From afar, one could already see, far away in the hazy sky, a majestic city, like a huge ferocious beast entrenched on the horizon, extremely eye-catching.
Black Cliff City!
Seeing the outline of the majestic city in the distance, everyone in Gu Tian's group showed a look of relaxation and joy on their faces.
"Unexpectedly, we haven't encountered any danger in the past two days. Have those damn bastards given up?" One of the guards said with a smile.
Others were also a little surprised.
Only Chen Xi knew clearly that Qing Xiao was originally going to take action two days ago, but unfortunately he ran into him, and invisibly helped Gu Tian and others resolve a crisis.
"You bastard, do you still want someone to rob and kill you?" Gu Tian laughed and scolded the guard, then waved his hand and continued on his way.
As we get closer to Heiya City, we can clearly see that this majestic city is completely dark and entrenched between heaven and earth. The city wall alone is hundreds of feet high. Torches as thick as pillars are inserted around the city wall, densely packed and shaped like
The tens of thousands of fire dragons spreading on the city wall dispersed all the haze in the sky, and the fire was fierce and shining in all directions.
At this time, in front of the city gate, there were already many creatures coming in and out, which seemed quite lively.
Chen Xi even saw two violent-looking big men, holding iron whips two feet tall, driving a group of ghosts shrouded in black mist towards the city, which looked quite mysterious.
That is the unique "ghost exorcist" in the underworld, who makes a living by catching evil spirits and ghosts.
But soon, Chen Xi was attracted by a group of people.
The leader was a young man wearing a golden robe, holding a jade fan in his hand, sitting astride a dark beast that was three feet tall, with a leisurely demeanor, as if he was waiting for someone.
Behind him, followed a group of well-equipped retinues, about a hundred of them, occupying the central street in front of the city gate. They were all powerful and powerful, with astonishing evil aura.
Not only did the passers-by dare not show any dissatisfaction, they even looked at these people with a touch of deep fear and awe.
What attracted Chen Xi was not this, but the mount under the crotch of the golden-robed young man. It was a ghost unicorn!
Qilin is a terrifying beast in heaven and earth. It is as famous as Phoenix, Qingluan, Xuanwu, Baize and other mythical beasts. However, the ghost Qilin apparently died and its soul poured into the netherworld before being killed by this young man in gold robe.
Captured and raised as his own mount.
"Cousin! I finally expected you to come!"
When the young man in gold robe saw Gu Tian and his group from a distance, his eyes immediately lit up, he got off the ghost unicorn and walked towards this direction with a big smile.
