After bidding farewell to Ji Xing, Tong Yan left the next day.
Heading all the way to Penglai, because she had mentioned this matter to He Zhan and the others before, she only sent a message after setting off to inform them of the itinerary.
She drove during the day and rested at night to recover her spiritual energy. She followed the planned itinerary and headed towards Penglai in an orderly manner. When she was tired, she stopped to rest and watered a sapling a few inches high.
The sapling looked weak and pitiful, with only two green leaves the size of melon seed shells, hanging tremblingly on a few hair-sized branches. As she shook her fingers, the falling water droplets hit the leaves, causing the whole body to tremble.
The body trembled.
This sapling was the one she took away from the cave. Based on the situation at the time, she and Ji Xing guessed that it was probably a Poinciana sapling.
The Poinciana tree itself is a wood, but because it was born in fire, it is not afraid of flames and possesses its own strange fire. By chance, it has the rare dual attributes of fire and wood.
A sapling is just a sapling before it grows up. The only thing valuable about it now is its strange fire.
Water and fire are incompatible. Jingxing said that he had ice spiritual roots and practiced Buddhism. Plants were of no use to him, so he simply gave up his own part.
Tong Yan's Chaos Spirit Root may not be suitable for Samadhi True Fire. If possible, she would prefer Chaos Sky Fire. However, Sky Fire is among the top three in the ranking of strange fires, and the possibility of encountering it is even more difficult than ascending to the sky.
She kept it because it was just a tree that was not troublesome to raise, and strange fire was rare. Even if it was not useful now, there was no guarantee that it would not be used in the future.
While holding his head and thinking, Tong Yan suddenly noticed a fluctuation in spiritual energy coming from his right side, and he frowned warily.
Very complex spiritual energy fluctuations, with multiple attributes and varying strengths and weaknesses. In this case, it is usually when various monks gather together and use their spiritual power to cause the auras they feel to be mixed.
So, there are many people coming in her direction right now?
Looking at the speed at which they approached, it was as fast as a dog chasing them.
Especially the one at the front, it was as fast as being chased by a group of dogs.
Tong Yan silently shook her head at her own metaphor, wondering if her dictionary should be updated. No matter what she said, it was always a dog.
Just after thinking about this, she suddenly felt something was wrong.
The drama of running in front and chasing behind? According to the unspecific statistics of reality and novels? One percent of the cases are performed in Qiong Yao drama? Five percent are debt collectors, 20% they are passers-by, and 100%
Definitely a hunt!
Oh! She's afraid she's going to get into trouble.
Don't ask what the statistics are, just ask that she made them up on the spur of the moment!
Looking at the pile of nonsense, these thoughts only flashed through his mind for a moment or two. When Tong Yan realized that something was wrong, he immediately picked up his sword and ran away without any hesitation.
After running for a long time? I found something wrong again.
How come these people always follow her accurately as if they have a locator installed on her body?
Just when she was confused, the man in cloak at the front seemed to be chasing after him? He suddenly accelerated and flew towards her.
His words reached her ears first? "Why are you running..."
The tone seems a little helpless?
The voice was a bit familiar, but it didn't affect Tongyan's rants at all. She glanced at the large group of menacing monks following the cloaked man, and spoke to them without any courtesy at all. "If I don't run away, why do I have to wait for you to lead the people?"
Come and kill?"
Those who knew knew that they were chasing him, but those who didn’t? They thought he was leading people to chase her!
The cloaked man was silent. He glanced back at the tail behind him and found them a bit annoying.
He pulled out a whip from nowhere. The whip's body flashed with a faint thunder light, and he whipped it backwards. A strong force of thunder and lightning flew backward at great speed.
The chasing crowd did not expect that he would make a sudden move, and were suddenly caught off guard by lightning. The front row personnel braked suddenly, and the people in the back row bumped into him without knowing why, and a car accident scene was suddenly created in the sky.
Tong Yan was stunned when he saw it. Without commenting on the reaction ability of this group of people, just looking at this thunder and lightning attack, its power should not be underestimated in terms of strength and speed. It would be difficult to take it without the cultivation of golden elixir.
Especially the group at the back had varying levels of cultivation and strength, and there was no tacit understanding among them. It was obvious that they were a makeshift team.
It shouldn't be difficult for the cloaked man to deal with this group of people.
Since it's not a difficult matter, why would he run away and endanger her...
She silently moved further away, trying to avoid getting too close to this person, lest she be accidentally hurt by people who didn't know the truth.
But as soon as she made a move, the lightning whip struck at her. It didn't attack, but it wrapped around her waist, not only stopping her movement, but also leading her in another direction.
It wasn't until he fell into the arms of the cloaked man that the restraint on his waist was loosened, and the next second it was replaced by an arm.
The cloaked man led her and continued to move forward without losing speed.
The arms around her waist were a little tight, which made her feel uncomfortable, so she bumped the person behind her with her elbow to signal him to loosen up.
Tong Yan raised his head and looked into the cloak, and accidentally ran into a pair of dark-colored eyes.
Being stared at by these eyes, her breathing seemed to be stagnant for a moment, and she quickly gathered her concentration and spoke.
"Gu Yuqi?"
As early as when she saw the black figure, she felt an inexplicable sense of familiarity. After he took out the lightning whip, the feeling became even more intense.
She didn't resist just now, letting the whip bring her over, and she vaguely guessed who it was.
Under a black cloak, Gu Yuqi's face was covered with a mask of the same color, covering the lower half of his face, leaving only a pair of long and sharp eyes.
At this moment, he looked at the person in front of him gently, taking in her every move.
"You knew it was me, why did you run away?"
He finally found the person, but when they met, he ran faster than a rabbit. If she didn't have the broken moon in her hand to locate her, she would have lost her long ago.
Tong Yan glanced at him sideways and said pointedly, "I thought you brought someone here to seek revenge."
Upon hearing this, Gu Yuqi understood that she was referring to the group of people at the back. He pursed his lips and was speechless for a moment.
After thinking for a while, he explained: "They are chasing me."
Tong Yan said quickly: "I know, so it will be fine if I stay away from you, but you have to bring me into this muddy water..."
"..." Gu Yuqi.
"Then I'll put you down." He seemed to know how to make amends for his mistakes.
Tong Yan is angry, what's the use of letting go now? Why didn't you think more about it when you caught her?
"What's the use? If you hug me and run away, they will already think that we are a group!"
The thin lips under the mask were slightly hooked, a triumphant smile flashed in his eyes, but his voice was cold and flat.
