There were a little more dark clouds at night, so that the bright moon that was hanging in the sky was covered by dark clouds, and there was no trace of light between the sky and the earth. It was like a pure black curtain, covering the whole world.
There is a biting wind blowing between the sky and the earth. Above the dark forest and sea, you can clearly hear a sound like the waves crashing on the rocks. In the dark night, coupled with this biting wind, if you stand here, you must be able to bear it.
The body trembled.
"Look at this day, it seems like there is a storm!"
In the sky above a certain forest, an old man whose appearance could not be seen clearly stood on the top of a giant tree. A large tree wave was surging around him. What was strange was that those tree waves were about ten feet away from the old man.
Within the range, it will automatically disperse.
Observing carefully, even the giant tree under the old man's feet seemed not to be affected by the dark winds in the surrounding world. The entire giant tree remained motionless, and its entire body was like a sculpture. If it weren't for the life emanating from it,
I'm afraid no one would believe that this tree could actually remain motionless under this biting wind.
Of course, it is not so much that the tree is motionless as it is that the old man whose appearance he cannot see clearly is motionless between the heaven and the earth.
"Well, this world has been peaceful for too long. Those dead trees that should have fallen down long ago should indeed fall down. Spring passes and autumn comes, and the four seasons change. Only in this way can this mountain forest continue to function."
The old man murmured something in a low voice, and at the same time, a pair of bright eyes shining in the dark night looked straight at the distant northwest sky.
After a short moment, the old man's eyes lit up slightly, and a smile appeared at the corner of his mouth in the dark night.
"coming."
He chuckled again, but he didn't know that it was completely dark and there was no one in the sky. How could anyone say anything?
And just ten breaths later, a purple light suddenly shone in the dark sky and earth. Although the light was not dazzling, it was enough to illuminate the sky and the earth in this dark night sky.
"Haha, win, you are finally here."
Under the reflection of purple light, you can roughly see the outline of the old man's face clearly.
The old man looked quite friendly, and his face was covered with ravines. These were the scars left by time on his face.
The beard that was supposed to be gray reflected a strange light under the purple light, which made the friendly-looking old man look a little more sinister at this moment.
"Elder Haoxuan, something unexpected happened, so I asked you to wait."
The purple light got closer and closer, until it was within a hundred feet away, and then the faint laughter of a middle-aged man was heard.
"Hmm? Patriarch, what happened? Could it be that the old guy from the Sun family..."
"No, I just didn't expect that Sun Shuo actually found a way to deal with my fighting spirit. It took me a lot of effort, but I was lucky enough to see that guy defeated, haha."
The old man frowned, but before he could say the slightly solemn words in his mouth, the figure who had already arrived in front of him waved his hand lightly. When the laughter fell from his mouth, he also shook the young man in black robe who was held in his hand.
This person was naturally Bai Ying, who left Hanxi City in the evening, and the one he held in his hand was Xiao Yan.
If he wanted to escape from the devil's clutches, Xiao Yan certainly had the ability. However, he was also curious as to why Bai Ying had repeatedly defended Sun Shuo for him. Therefore, Xiao Yan was motivated by curiosity to take office.
Bai Ying brought him here.
However, knowing what he was doing at this moment, Xiao Yan suddenly felt a huge dangerous aura in his heart, and the source of that aura was the old man who appeared in front of him and Bai Ying at this moment.
"This person's strength is definitely better than Bai Ying's!"
Secretly screaming in his heart, Xiao Yan couldn't help but feel a little regretful. Unexpectedly, he followed Bai Ying all the way and landed himself at the lion's mouth. Moreover, from what Bai Ying called the old man just now, he seemed to be an elder...
…
If he is an elder in Tianjian Sect, wouldn't he be in danger?
"Damn it! You actually delivered yourself into someone else's hands!"
He cursed himself bitterly in his heart, and Xiao Yan felt helpless. At the moment, it seemed that he could only put his last hope on Gu You. The old man in front of him, even Xiao Yan could not tell his strength.
Don't even think about taking advantage of him. Who knows, he might be killed with just one slap.
Of course, these two people naturally don't know what Xiao Yan is thinking at this moment, but even if they knew it, I'm afraid it would just turn into a laugh.
"This is Mr. Xiao Yan?"
Hearing the joking tone in Bai Ying's words, the old man couldn't help but cast his gaze on Xiao Yan, who had his eyes closed and his head drooped. He frowned slightly and said in a slightly polite tone.
Bai Ying couldn't help but be startled when he saw Xiao Yan being lifted up in his hand without any reaction. Then his expression changed quickly, and he quickly put Xiao Yan down in the air, stretched out his sleeves with his big hand, and grabbed him.
He grabbed one of Xiao Yan's wrists, and at the same time, a burst of soul power quickly surged out and poured into Xiao Yan's body along the palm of his hand.
At the same time, the old man couldn't help but look slightly startled on his face, but he didn't know what happened, so he could only walk over with a curious look on his face.
However, the next moment, Bai Ying's frowning face suddenly changed. The soul power that poured into Xiao Yan's body quickly withdrew. The palm holding Xiao Yan's wrist suddenly let go, and he stood up quickly. Bai Ying's steps were not fast.
After taking a few steps back, he looked at Xiao Yan in front of him with lingering fear.
On the side, the expression on the old man's face also changed slightly, and the wrinkles on the old man's face looked a little clearer at this moment.
"What's going on? Something's wrong with this kid?"
The old man asked in an indifferent tone. At the same time, his withered palms turned into claws, and a bright and dazzling fighting spirit was about to burst out of his palms.
"No...it's not that there's something wrong with him, it's just that I forgot that Xiao Yan controls the strange fire. Just now, I was careless to protect the Lord of the strange fire, so I was shocked by that thing. But now it's troublesome. Xiao Yan has always been like this
It's not okay to fall into a coma. We can't wait that long. If you and I stay here all the time, the other families and the Tianjian Sect will definitely become suspicious."
"Then what should we do? This kid won't wake up, and he can't be brought back to his family. Is it possible that he should be really killed and given to Tianjian Sect as a gift?"
The old man frowned, and the expression on his face looked extremely reluctant.
"Hmph, even if we really kill him, we will definitely not hand it over to them. Besides, Xiao Yan has a special status. Without knowing his exact identity, we must not act rashly!"
Bai Ying snorted coldly, but he didn't seem to be interested in the backer behind him.
Hearing this, even the old man beside him nodded.
"Then what should we do now? We can't keep him, but we can't, and we can't kill him. It's the worst of both worlds!"
The old man's face looked particularly gloomy under the purple light, but he didn't know what to do, so he had no choice but to look at Bai Ying again.
Seeing this, Bai Ying also frowned, and when he was about to speak, Xiao Yan, who seemed to be unconscious in front of them, suddenly started coughing violently.
"Cough cough cough cough..."
Opening his eyes, a light flashed in the depths of Xiao Yan's eyes. Instead, Bai Ying and the old man looked at each other and couldn't help but laugh.
He woke up sooner or later, but it was only after they revealed his relationship with Tianjian Sect that Xiao Yan woke up. Isn't this obvious enough? The comatose Xiao Yan in front of him was just pretending!
"Haha, Mr. Xiao Yan really woke up in time! Otherwise, our elders would have to help save people."
Bai Ying laughed, and at the same time he breathed a long sigh of relief in his heart. He slowly stood up from the void, stared at Xiao Yan, and said inexplicably.
