Chapter Twenty-Three: The Tempest Will Rise Like Night

This place is thousands of miles away from Cunwei Mountain, at first glance when he saw the same door appear in this desolate town, Shao Heng was in a trance for a moment, and he caught a glimpse of the man in black making a move, and immediately said: "Intercept him!"

Nangong Beidou and the others were also surprised, but when they heard what Shao Heng said, they did not hesitate to take action, among which Shangguan Chengtai, a boy who looked reckless, was the fastest.

After many years, Shangguan Chengtai is still simple-minded, whatever Shao Heng says, he has no objection and immediately acts, but faster than anyone else.

However, it was a step too late.

Suddenly encountered, Nangong Beidou and Ning Qingyun were still immersed in surprise, and became the direction of the enemy's opportunity to break through.

The black-clothed man flashed like a ghost, and took advantage of Shao Heng's trance to get out of the sword shadow cage, the short blade in his hand flashed, and he quickly attacked Nangong Beidou's chest!

Nangong Beidou's face changed, and he hurriedly blocked it in his chest with the Flying Frost Sword in his hand, and suddenly felt a tingling in the tiger's mouth.

He was passive, his cultivation was invincible to the other party, he only felt a sharp pain in his chest and abdomen, and there was a fishy sweetness flowing out of his mouth, and he couldn't support it for too long.

But seeing the murderous aura in the eyes of the man in black, Nangong Beidou became stubborn, his feet were like taking root, and he refused to move, and waves of strength came from the Flying Frost Sword, but he couldn't move a step!

The man in black was obviously a little surprised, but he didn't expect to be able to break through at the first time.

And at this moment, the man in black only felt a chill behind him, and he knew that it was not good, so he immediately gave up attacking Nangong Beidou and dodged to the other side.

However, at this time and now, the four inner disciples of Cunwei Mountain joined forces to besiege him, how could it be so easy for him to break through?

Behind him, Shao Heng had already shot out a sword qi, overwhelming the sky, and the black-clothed man was dodging in front of him, and a fiery red whip shadow suddenly appeared, and a rolling heat wave rushed to his face; on the other side, Shangguan Chengtai was lifting the half-human-high Sinking Water Dragon Sparrow and slashing out from the left side!

There was also a three-zhang long golden demon snake blocking in front of Nangong Beidou, revealing its sharp snake teeth and spitting out a jet-black venom from the snake's mouth!

Seeing that the man in black should be avoided, Shao Heng saw a trace of smugness flash in the only pair of eyes on the man's masked face, and his heart moved with lightning and flint, and the Imperial Heavenly Machine Sword folded in the air and stabbed straight down!

It's a pity that the enemy moves faster.

I saw that the body of the black-clothed man who was surrounded by Shao Heng and the four of them suddenly fell down, as if he had used the method of earth escape to escape into the ground!

"Ahh

But it was Xiao Jin's last spit out that the venom was coincidentally sprayed on the face of the man in black.

The Chixiao red carp was thrown on the ground, leaving a scorched black trace, and the Heavenly Machine Sword pierced under the ground and flew up again, although it brought back a bloodstain. But in the end, the enemy was allowed to escape.

The method of earth escape is not unusual, even if you get away with this method, you can naturally find each other with Xiaojin's sense of smell.

However, before Shao Heng could order Xiao Jin to search for the enemy, Xiao Jin automatically passed a message to Shao Heng.

"What? gone?" Xiao Jin is still young, and some complicated things cannot be expressed very clearly.

Shao Heng sensed the incomplete information of Xiaojin in his heart, stumbled and stumbled, and his heart sank.

"What about that person?" Nangong Beidou had only resisted the enemy head-on for a long time, and his speech at this time seemed to be a little lacking.

Shao Heng shook his head and said, "I don't know what means the other party has used to isolate his breath, and my spirit snake can't find his direction." ”

Nangong Beidou's eyes flashed with hatred, and he was obviously extremely dissatisfied with the other party's slow reaction: "He is injured, he will definitely not be able to go far, it is better to ...... Hmm!"

Halfway through speaking, it seemed that the injury was affected, and Nangong Beidou sweated down his forehead for a while, and he couldn't go on.

Seeing this, Shao Heng immediately took out the pill and gave it to Nangong Beidou.

"The storm is coming. Ning Qingyun suddenly spoke.

Shao Heng looked up and saw Ning Qingyun looking at the sky with a pair of wonderful eyes, and followed her gaze, and sure enough, there was a dark cloud in the sky that was black and red, moving quickly towards this side.

Under the dark clouds, it was like a long dragon sucking water and tornadoes, and it was black and pressing, and it was impossible to see anything clearly.

Shao Heng's heart sank, the storm was extremely fierce, and they didn't have time to leave this place now, so they said: "Find a safe place to shelter from the wind immediately!"

After speaking, he and Shangguan Chengtai were holding Nangong Beidou's arm on the side, looking around at the shelter from the wind.

It's just that the houses in this town are so dilapidated that there is no strong enough place to withstand the storm.

"Come with me!" Ning Qingyun scolded lightly, and with a shake of his green shirt, he floated towards the center of the town like a leaf in the wind.

Shao Heng was a little surprised in his heart, but seeing that the originally clear sky had become a dark cloud, and the storm that was still on the horizon was about to invade the town in an instant, he was not allowed to think about anything else, and together with Shangguan Chengtai, he took Nangong Beidou to follow Ning Qingyun left and right.

Ning Qingyun seemed to be extremely familiar with this place, and found a very intact house in the center of the town.

"Quick!

The scale of the house in front of me is not small, and it is obvious that it was not an ordinary house in this town in the past, and although the walls and roof have been eroded by the wind, they all look intact.

In particular, the walls are still standing tall enough to withstand the storm.

Shao Heng and the others immediately entered it, found the nearest and largest room, put down Nangong Beidou, and immediately closed the doors and windows.

As soon as the doors and windows were closed, Shao Heng heard the sound of the wind outside the house like a tsunami of mountains and waves, mixed with the sound of countless objects crashing, landing, and hitting again.

If they hadn't entered a safe place, they would have been afraid that with their current cultivation, they would not be able to operate the true qi in their bodies in this storm, let alone maintain their body stability.

The doors and windows were closed, and it was dark.

Ning Qingyun skillfully took out a few candles from under a table, lit the lights casually, and found that Shao Heng and the three of them were all looking at him with different expressions, and froze for a moment before pretending to sit down as if nothing happened.

Shao Heng felt a little strange in his heart, and saw that Nangong Beidou's breath had stabilized after taking the pill, so he asked, "Chengtai, Beidou, Senior Sister Ning, why are you here?" Senior Sister Ning seems to be ...... Familiar with this place?"

Shangguan Chengtai only smiled stupidly, and asked rhetorically, "Brother Shao, why are you here?"

Shao Heng's succession as the leader of Tianshu is a secret in Cunwei Mountain, and even the existence of Tianshu's team is rarely known in the sect.

Therefore, since the end of the grounding in the sea of clouds and clouds, because he has very little time in the sect, he announced to the outside world that he is closed to Lingjian Peak, the mountain behind Yuquan Peak.

Brought forward by Taihao real person, no one dared to question it.

At this time, they were naturally extremely surprised to see Shao Heng appear here.

However, Nangong Beidou and Ning Qingyun are not stupid people, nor are they as straight as Shangguan Chengtai, guessing that Shao Heng should have secret things, they didn't ask much.

Nangong Beidou opened his eyes, raised his eyes to look at Ning Qingyun, and saw that she didn't mean to open his mouth before he said: "Cunwei Mountain has a vein of Yuanjing in Dipingguan, and some time ago I received news that there was something wrong over there, so I sent a disciple of the deacon of the outer gate to check. A few days ago, Aunt Qinglan found that the deacon disciple who had gone out had extinguished the soul lamp, and felt that the situation was a bit serious, so she reported it to the head of the sect. It just so happened that Uncle Taiyue, my master and several uncles were all on the side at that time, so they ordered a few of us to go together to check the situation. ”

Shao Heng glanced at Shangguan Chengtai when he heard this, and realized that he was about to build a yuan, and probably guessed the thoughts of several elders.

Since what happened during the selection of the True Transmission four years ago, although Nangong Zhao seemed to have no punishment, Qingning Zhenren no longer valued him and focused on other disciples, especially Nangong Beidou.

Nangong Beidou also quickly became an important figure in the lineage of the head of the family, except for Shen Yuanxi.

In addition, he was born in a Nangong family, unlike Shen Yuanxi, who had a bad relationship with the family, and his swordsmanship talent was not low, so although his cultivation is now much worse than Shen Yuanxi, he has still become a bargaining chip for the family to fight for status in Cunwei Mountain.

It's been a lot of tossing in the door lately.

Qingning Zhenren himself was impartial, and he didn't want this little disciple to follow in the footsteps of Nangong Zhao, and Taiyue Zhenren intended to let Shangguan Chengtai go out to practice, so he sent Nangong Beidou together.

It's just that Nangong Beidou and Shangguan Chengtai are young and vigorous, arrogant in temperament, and innocent in heart and don't know how to be flexible.

The elders were afraid that something else would happen to them, so they simply chose a female disciple who was safe and had a slightly higher cultivation to keep an eye on them.

Ning Qingyun was a female disciple who was chosen by her elders.

Speaking of which, among the peers of the sect, except for Shen Yuanxi, Shao Heng concealed his true cultivation, not to mention that the person who cultivated the fastest was Ning Qingyun, not Nangong Beidou, who was favored by everyone.

However, although Ning Qingyun's cultivation was slightly higher than Nangong Beidou, he was inferior to him with his swordsmanship alone.

Nangong Beidou didn't care when he saw Shao Heng's expression, but continued: "This is the former residence of Senior Sister Ning when she was young, and it is only five hundred miles away from Diping Pass. It's just that as soon as I entered the town, I met the sneaky man from Fang Cai. Shao Heng, who is that person, and why are you chasing him?"

When Shao Heng heard that this desolate town was actually where Ning Qingyun lived when she was a child, she couldn't help but subconsciously glance at her, and said in her heart: "She grew up in Kunlun with Yu'er, so this should be her home before she met Yu'er." ”

Thinking of this, a trace of complicated emotions flashed in his eyes, and he quickly covered it up and said, "I don't know who it is......"

Shao Heng didn't mention the matter of Tianshu or Yunlai Pavilion, but only briefly described how he found out that the city of Jinyun City was empty overnight, and hundreds of thousands of people turned into powder overnight, how he met Yuxu Mountain and his party, and how he found that the man in black and his companions were ambushed beside him, and how he chased all the way to this place.

Nangong Beidou's eyes changed when he heard the opening.

He grew up in a family since he was a child, and he was extremely sensitive to this kind of thing, and after Shao Heng finished speaking, he repeatedly asked, "All the people in Jinyun City are dead?"

After receiving a clear answer, he said in a daze: "There are also clansmen from my Nangong family in Jinyun City...... This time, I'm afraid it will be related to many families and families, especially Yuxu Mountain......"

Shao Heng looked up at the wooden door that kept shaking against the storm, his eyes seemed to be through the doors and windows, looking at the flying sand and rocks outside, the sky was dark, and muttered: "Yes, the storm is coming......"

In the secluded room, the weak candle flame kept flickering, as if it was about to be extinguished at any moment.

A trace of sadness appeared on Ning Qingyun's face: "Hundreds of thousands of people...... It's just silently gone......"

Shao Heng and Nangong Beidou were stunned at the same time, and they were silent at the same time.

The wind outside was raging for a while, and the entire house trembled under the power of heaven and earth, and even Shangguan Chengtai, who had always been ignorant about these things, was silent.
