Su Anran and Qingyu were extremely fast, and their goals were very clear, which was the palaces on both sides.
They had no intention of reaching that lonely white peak.
There is only one road up and down the mountain, so once they go up the mountain, the disciples of the Sword Sect only need to block the mountain road, and Su Anran and Qingyu will have no place to run. So no matter how rare things are hidden in the palace on the top of the mountain,
Su Anran wouldn't even think about it.
"Where are we going?" Su Anran stood under the huge statue nearly thirty meters high, turning his head and looking at Qingyu.
"How would I know." Qingyu looked confused, "I've never been here before."
"Where is your talent for seeking good fortune and avoiding misfortune?" Su Anran was a little helpless, "Don't you claim that you can seek good fortune and avoid misfortune, so you won't be in any danger?"
"Yes." Qingyu nodded, but her face didn't look very nervous. "My current feeling is not wrong either. As long as I follow you, there won't be any big danger. So you can decide which way to go."
ah."
"We've all been locked up and beaten, and you still say there's no danger?" Su Anran looked incredulous.
Qingyu, however, said matter-of-factly: "I mean, I won't be in danger. But I didn't say that you won't be in danger."
Su Anran's veins popped up: "I think you haven't been beaten by me for too long, so you're a little itchy now, right?"
"I said, can you two stop arguing and quickly choose a direction?" Simon Desheng followed Su Anran, and then suddenly said.
"Why are you still following us?" Qingyu blinked and looked at Ximen Desheng.
"We are on the same boat now, shouldn't we work together?" Simon Desheng looked at Su Anran and Qing Yu strangely.
But at this time, he also felt a little regretful in his heart.
He felt that he must have thought too much about things before, and did not consider the possibility of being locked up and beaten, so he brought the two remaining Ximen family children with him. At that time, he should have stayed
One person was waiting outside and made an agreement that if he did not contact the outside world for a certain period of time, he would let the other party publicize the location of the cave.
Thinking of this, Ximen Desheng glanced at Su Anran, feeling a little resentful in his heart.
He felt that Su Anran had imagined things too well, which led to the current situation. If he had chosen to join forces with the people from Tianwang Temple or Fairy Palace from the beginning, maybe the situation would not be so bad.
But now, it's too late for Simon Desheng to regret it.
"I think if you follow him, you will die faster." Qingyu said lightly, "Everyone can see now that the people from the Sword Sect must be focusing more on him. If we split up here
If you run away, the other side will have to divide its forces into two groups, and you might even have more chances of survival."
"Then why didn't you run away?" Simon Desheng asked back. He felt that Qingyu must have wanted to push himself out as bait.
"I'm a monster!" Qingyu looked at Ximen Desheng with an idiotic look on his face, "They say that monsters have a different path. Do you think those people will let me go? And they already knew it yesterday. It was us who saved you.
, killing their Sword Sect disciples, our hatred is much greater than yours."
"Young masters from aristocratic families have dealt with low-class people before, and have never suffered any losses, so it is normal for them to be ignorant." Su Anran said lightly, and his tone was not sarcastic, but the more indifferent he became.
The tone of his voice made Simon Desheng feel even more irritated, "Now we are dealing with an opponent of the same level, and the opponent is obviously more experienced, so after suffering a big loss, the mentality can easily become unbalanced."
Simon Desheng pursed his lips and said nothing, but his breathing became a little rough.
"The other party is arranging follow-up work, and we don't have much time." Su Anran thought for a while, and then said, "Let's go to the left."
"Oh." Qingyu nodded without asking why.
Anyway, she knew that even if she asked, Su Anran would just answer "feeling", so it would be better not to ask and save some saliva.
"I'll go to the right." Simon Desheng said suddenly, and then ran towards the building complex on the right without looking back.
Looking at Ximen Desheng's back, Qingyu curled her lips and said, "I don't like this person."
"As I said, the children of the aristocratic family have little experience." Su Anran shook her head, "The training method of the aristocratic family is different from ours. We have been going smoothly for too long, so we can't bear to suffer some losses. Before, we could maintain a balanced mentality.
He hasn't really been forced into a desperate situation yet, but now that he is almost in a deadlock, many of his faults will be exposed."
"But you're not nervous at all." Qingyu said curiously.
"Don't you have any trump cards?" Su Anran said lazily, "We're not in a desperate situation now. I just don't want to reveal my identity so quickly. Who doesn't have a few trump cards to guard against the future? It's just that my trump cards may be better than
They are just stronger."
Qingyu curled her lips.
She had known for a long time that people like Su Anran were definitely dishonest. How could they enter the cave so easily without any preparation, so she felt that hugging Su Anran's thigh was the wisest choice. As for Ximen Desheng, Qingyu did have
She wanted to push him out to share the firepower, but he also knew that it would probably not succeed, because she could see that the Sword Sect really regarded Su Anran as a serious problem.
If it had been anyone else, Qingyu would have been far away.
It's just that Su Anran is different.
Qingyu, who had already had cooperation experience in the Illusion Divine Sea, knew this very well, so she chose to fight side by side with Su Anran. Otherwise, with her identity and strength, she would just sell Su Anran and take advantage of the lack of people on the other side.
At that time, she could also break out and leave here. After all, she was really not interested in the cave.
They ignored Ximen Desheng. In fact, from the moment Yang Qi started setting up the situation, they were destined to part ways with Ximen Desheng.
However, the two parties were not familiar with each other in the first place, and it was Qingyu's random move that led to the current situation - of course, if it hadn't been for that random move, he would not have been able to enter this cave. After all, for Ximen Desheng, it was a timely help.
Behavior is just the icing on the cake for the Sword Sect, so the meaning within it is naturally incomparable.
"Speaking of which, there is still an unsettled debt between you and me." Su Anran looked at Qingyu, hating that iron could not become steel.
Qingyu looked confused:????
"Hmph." Su Anran snorted coldly, "After we leave here, we will settle the matter slowly."
Qingyu looked confused: "Are you trying to find an excuse to hit me again?"
"Do you still need an excuse for me to hit you?"
Qingyu thought for a while, she had been in contact with Su Anran for so long, it seemed that Su Anran really didn't need to make excuses when he hit her.
Thinking of this, Qingyu felt so heartbroken.
She is a descendant of one of the three great saints of the Demon Alliance, and is also known as the most outstanding magic cultivator in the past thousand years. Her talent is stronger than Ao Wei, but when she meets Su Anran, it is like meeting a natural enemy.
Being so pressed that she couldn't stand up, Qingyu felt that it was really difficult to be a demon.
…
As Su Anran and Qingyu expected, the Sword Sect hated them far more than Ximen Desheng, so except for a few disciples who were bound to stay at the exit, the rest of them all chased to the left, including
Eighteen Sword Sect disciples including Yang Qi and Shen Pingan.
However, when they chased Su Anran and Qingyu into the building complex on the left, they discovered that the space of this cave was larger than they imagined.
This palace complex is not blocked by walls.
At the front is a hall-like hall. The spacious screen is divided into front and rear layers with a thick screen. Two huge copper furnaces about one meter high are placed in the middle of both sides of the screen. There are
There was a large amount of off-white furnace ashes, but there were no incense roots. It seemed that the two copper furnaces were not used for incense. And even after such a long interval, there was still a faint fragrance in the hall, which seemed to be some kind of
Woody.
Ximenting is the name of this hall.
Enter through the front door, bypass the screen, and then walk out the back door to see a huge courtyard.
There are a total of eight flower gardens in the courtyard, which are divided into two layers of circular structure.
The four flower gardens on the first floor are located in the southeast, northwest and northwest respectively. The four flower gardens on the second floor are slightly larger than the four flower gardens on the first floor and are located in the southeast, northeast, southwest and northwest.
Eight different colors of flowers were planted on the eight flowerbeds, and they also did not wither due to the passage of time.
Everything here looks as if someone has been taking care of it carefully and is full of vitality.
In the other three directions of the courtyard, there are also three buildings that are the same as the Ximen Court Hall. Even the layout inside is exactly the same.
Obviously, these are three "doors".
Through the courtyard, you can vaguely see the door behind the other end, which seems to have a layout similar to the garden garden in this courtyard. It's just that they are not all flower gardens. Some have the same layout as a palace garden, some are pools and pavilions, and some are simply a garden.
From a cursory glance, the size of the pools seems to be different in size.
"Senior brother?" Shen Pingan glanced at Yang Qi.
"We made a mistake." Yang Qi sighed, his face not showing any frustration, but a bit of unexpected helplessness. "Unexpectedly, the building complexes on both sides were more complicated than we imagined. After a while, it became clear that there was no
Maybe we can finish exploring this place.”
"Then let's let them go like this?" Shen Ping'an said in a rather unwilling tone.
"Leave a few people to guard, and then we go up the mountain." Yang Qi just pondered for a moment, and then said, "Those who stay behind should not go deep here. If Qingyu and the person named Su want to break out, just entangle them and
Just send a signal and let others come to support you."
After hearing Yang Qi's words, Shen Ping'an immediately understood the intention of this senior brother.
He is just reckless, not really stupid.
Now the entire cave has been controlled by their Sword Sect. Whether it is Su Anran, Qingyu, or Ximen Desheng, they are already turtles in the urn. So it is entirely up to them to decide when to take action, so naturally There is no need to rush, as long as they can still block the opponent's movement space, they will be able to strangle the opponent here sooner or later.
However, this is just Shen Ping'an's idea.
In fact, Yang Qi's consideration is more in-depth.
Anyone with a discerning eye knows that the palace built on the white peak is the residence of the owner of the cave, and the things stored there must be the best. As for the palace complex on both sides, they still don’t know the specific purpose. , but thinking about it, it is just a place where some guests or servants live. No matter how good these things are, they must be limited.
So as long as their Sword Sect can get the best things, the rest are just side effects.
Even Yang Qi didn't think it was necessary to continue to waste time and manpower here - unlike Shen Ping'an who was just fighting for his will, Yang Qi's more consideration was based on the interests of the entire sect. So he got the cave. The best thing in the world, and then taking the rewards of this Tianyuan trial together, is the option that best suits the interests of the Sword Sect for Yang Qi.
As for fighting with Su Anran, Qingyu, and Ximen Desheng in this place that is similar to a maze?
That's not Yang Qi's style.
…
"...So based on Yang Qi's character, he will never pursue us again after seeing the situation in the first courtyard." Su Anran said lightly to Qingyu, "But he will definitely leave some people behind at the west gate. The court is guarding the court to prevent us from going out to cause trouble."
"Why do you know so well?" Qingyu was a little confused.
"Each person's personality and way of thinking are different, which will lead to different logical concepts for their actions." Su Anran said, "The so-called mastering people's hearts actually means thinking about what the other person is thinking and what the other person is thinking. You just need to figure it out. A person's general personality, as well as understanding the other person's needs, code of conduct, or principles, then you can infer what the other person really wants. And when you can completely control what the other person wants, you will naturally You can make the other party obey your orders."
"Yang Qi is calm and calm, and behaves like a general. When negotiating with him yesterday, he mostly considered the interests of the sect. This is evident from the fact that he set up a trap today to completely block us. You can analyze it even if you die here." Su Anran continued, "So if we don't give the opponent something, he won't fight us to the end... Fortunately, the team leader is not Shen Ping'an, otherwise we would probably It’s time to play hide and seek.”
"Then can we leave here?"
"Why are you leaving?" Su Anran looked at Qingyu with a strange expression.
"But didn't you mean..."
"Yes, they plan to go up the mountain to the palace, but from the foot of the mountain to the top, I estimate that it will take them two to three days, and the subsequent exploration will also take at least a day or two." Su Anran suddenly laughed. He said, "It will take at least five days to go back and forth like this. If there are traps or something up there, then I'm afraid it will have to be extended to more than six or seven days, maybe even ten days."
And when she saw Su Anran's smile, Qingyu knew that Su Anran was having bad ideas again.
Sure enough, almost as soon as Qingyu came up with this idea, Su Anran spoke again.
"We will calculate it based on six days, so we have three days to explore. After three days, we can choose to fight back. If everything goes well, we can even block Yang Qi on the mountain and be unable to get down. Then we will be the main ones.
.”
"But how do you know how many people they will leave behind?"
"I know." Su Anran nodded, "Because I know Yang Qi's character. His biggest advantage is that he is stable and calm, but his biggest weakness is that he is too stable... He stayed in Ximen Court.
There will not be more than six people, because this is what he estimated
It is the minimum number of people who can delay the two of us to the maximum extent. After that, he will arrange four more people in the East Gate Courtyard, because that is also enough to delay the stay of Ximen Desheng. Taking these two points together, he is responsible for guarding
There should be six to eight people at the entrance and exit of the cave."
"There is nothing wrong with this arrangement, because as long as we break through, they can send out a signal for nearby people to support us." Su Anran smiled, "But the only problem is that he doesn't know who I am."
…
"Senior brother, will this arrangement have too many manpower?"
"No." Yang Qi shook his head, "This number is just right... six in the west gate, four in the east, plus eight people guarding the exit of the cave. As long as someone sends a signal in the east and west gates,
They will receive immediate support from others, and they will never be able to escape."
