The outer courtyard of the ancient sword gate, in a small courtyard.

The Great Elder and the Second Elder came to the small courtyard where Li Xiuyun lived, but the two did not see Li Xiuyun, the Second Elder had come to look for him many times, and it was lucky to see him once out of ten times.

Although the two did not see Li Xiuyun, they saw another person.

In the shade of a tree in the small courtyard, a red figure attracted the attention of the two elders, and a red-haired girl sat on a stone chair and quietly read a book.

The scenery in the small courtyard is excellent, this is the residence specially chosen by the second elder for Li Xiuyun, the ancient sword gate is approaching autumn, and the maple leaves on the trees are dyed red, fluttering and falling.

The breeze blows her soft hair, and the maple leaves falling everywhere in the small courtyard form a beautiful landscape.

The two elders stopped, they had lived so long, and they had seen very beautiful people, but there had never been a beautiful woman who could make them feel very amazed every time they saw them.

As soon as the two of them stepped into the small courtyard with their front feet, an astonishing murderous aura was released from the red-haired girl, and the two elders couldn't help but tremble, they couldn't believe that this murderous aura was actually what a girl could have.

"He's not here. ”

Feng Lin slowly closed the book and replied softly, the murderous aura on his body suddenly disappeared.

Since receiving the inheritance of the Phoenix Lord, her cultivation speed has been extremely terrifyingly improved, and now that her realm has reached the peak of the Transformation Pill Realm, it is only a matter of time before she breaks through to the Transformation Realm.

However, it was precisely because her realm had improved too quickly that the power of the red phoenix in her body would often go berserk, and at this time, she would find Li Xiuyun and ask him to help suppress the power of the rampant in her body.

Now she has gradually mastered the power of the red phoenix in her body, and even if she goes berserk, she can suppress it.

She had been waiting for Li Xiuyun here for a few hours, and instead of waiting for him, she saw the two elders.

The two of them came here in person for only one purpose, that is, to find Li Xiuyun.

The two elders glanced at each other and couldn't help but sigh bitterly, but at this time, Li Xiuyun, the kid, was nowhere to be seen.

"Feng Lin, do you know where he is now?" the second elder stepped forward and asked, his tone a little anxious.

Feng Lin shook his head and smiled: "Shouldn't you know better than me where he is." ”

The two elders couldn't help but smile bitterly, they would just want to know where Li Xiuyun was, but it seemed that Feng Lin didn't know where he was.

The second elder had looked for Li Xiuyun many times, and the one that impressed him the most was that he sent someone to squat outside the small courtyard and wait for Li Xiuyun to come back, but he waited for half a month before he saw anyone.

Thinking of this, the second elder couldn't help but take a deep breath, no one knew where Li Xiuyun was now, if he wasn't here, then Feng Lin would be in danger!

The Great Elder and the Second Elder walked into the small courtyard, the two glanced at each other, and they both saw a trace of helplessness in each other's eyes, they couldn't have imagined that the girl in front of them would actually be the royal family of the previous dynasty!

Five years ago, the former dynasty was destroyed, and all the royal families were slaughtered, and now the girl in front of them is very likely to be the only surviving royal family of the previous dynasty.

However, there was one thing they couldn't figure out, how the Cangye Empire knew Feng Lin's identity and knew that she was in the Ancient Sword Gate.

You must know that the two of them still don't know Feng Lin's true identity, they are all kept in the dark by Li Xiuyun, and there are very few people who know her true identity, how did the empire know about it.

They had a bold conjecture in their hearts, but they didn't dare to say it.

That is, there are ghosts in the Ancient Sword Gate, and their own people have exposed this matter!

The uncertain expressions of the two elders fell into Feng Lin's eyes, and she slowly spoke, "What is it that makes the two elders sad?"

The second elder shook his head, his face was solemn, and he stepped forward and said, "Feng Lin, who are you and Li Xiuyun?"

Feng Lin glanced at the Second Elder, and for a moment, the Second Elder felt as if he had been seen through by the girl in front of him.

"I see, it seems that my identity can no longer be hidden. ”

The corners of Feng Lin's mouth raised slightly, and she didn't seem to feel a trace of surprise, she had been taught the emperor's mind since she was a child, and she had already seen through people's hearts, and the tone of the second elder was not so much asking her as determining one thing.

How can there be a wall in the world that does not leak, no matter how deep her identity is hidden, she will eventually be found out.

She had long discovered that there was an existence similar to the Shadow Department inside the Ancient Sword Gate, and her every move had always been under the supervision of the Shadow Department, and it was only a matter of time before her identity was investigated.

"Are you really royalty from the former dynasty?"

The Second Elder stared at Feng Lin and smiled bitterly, as if he could understand why she had such a terrifying murderous aura at such an age.

In the change of dynasty five years ago, according to Feng Lin's current age, she was only twelve or thirteen years old at the time, and she witnessed all her relatives being slaughtered overnight!

The Second Elder couldn't imagine how powerful a twelve or thirteen-year-old girl had to be able to survive until now!

No matter which dynasty, every emperor has a powerful state of mind that far exceeds ordinary people, that is the emperor's mental technique, which is vividly reflected in Feng Lin!

Whether it was cutting off Li Yue's arms without changing his face at the beginning, or making Li Haoyang of the Flying Sword Sect into a human stick, this is by no means something that an ordinary person can do, and if she can do this, it means that she is by no means an ordinary person!

Feng Lin is the surviving royal family of the previous dynasty, and the current ruler of the empire is the Southern Emperor, and he will never let the bloodline of the previous dynasty stay.

The Southern Emperor is known for his cruelty, and he will absolutely strangle in the cradle everything that threatens his dominance.

As a surviving royal family of the previous dynasty, Feng Lin is one of the targets that the Southern Emperor must eradicate!

Feng Lin knows this better than anyone, which is why she wants to hide her true identity.

A trace of hatred flashed in Feng Lin's eyes, but it was quickly hidden by her, her eyes stared at the two elders in front of her, the red light was revealed, the murderous aura exploded, and she said coldly: "You came here, are you going to arrest me and hand me over to the empire?"

As soon as the words fell, Feng Lin's breath exploded, and the aura of the peak of the Hua Dan Realm made the two elders gasp.

She has already reached such a high level at this age, and if she is given a little more time, no one can imagine what terrifying heights she can reach in the future!

The two elders were shocked by the murderous aura released from Feng Lin's body, and they were almost out of breath.

"If the Great Elder and I really plan to arrest you, I won't be here to talk to you about this. ”

The second elder couldn't help but smile bitterly, and released the aura of the transformation realm, which offset the coercion released by Feng Lin.

"It's not the two of us in charge. ”

The Great Elder said in a deep voice, his realm was much stronger than that of the Second Elder, and he was even less affected by Feng Lin's murderous aura.

The murderous aura on Feng Lin's body dissipated a lot, his eyes looked at the two elders vigilantly, and said coldly: "It's because I'm afraid of Li Xiuyun, right?" ”

The Great Elder and the Second Elder glanced at each other, what Feng Lin said was indeed the truth, they were in awe of Li Xiuyun's terrifying strength, but if it was just like that, there was no need for them to come here to find Li Xiuyun in person.

At first, they were indeed afraid of Li Xiuyun, but since he came to the Ancient Sword Gate, everything he did was for the Ancient Sword Gate, whether it was repairing the barrier of the Tongjian Tower, solving the problem of the shortage of funds in the outer courtyard, and so on.

It can be said that if there was no Li Xiuyun, there would be no Outer Courtyard today, and he would have made great contributions to the Outer Courtyard and even the entire Ancient Sword Sect.

And what impressed the two of them the most was that when the Flying Sword Sect was offended, Feng Lin made a move and defeated Li Haoyang, giving a bad breath to the younger generation of the Ancient Sword Sect.

The funny thing is that even if the Gu Jian Sect encounters such a major crisis, he has not seen the direct clan elders of the inner courtyard make a move, maybe as long as it does not threaten the inner courtyard, even if the outer courtyard is completely destroyed, the direct clan elders may not make a move.

"Maybe we used to treat you and Li Xiuyun as outsiders, but now, we have treated both of you as our own. ”

The second elder said with a very serious expression, whether it was him or the great elder, they had long regarded her and Li Xiuyun as their own people.

The Great Elder's face was solemn, he looked at Feng Lin and said in a deep voice: "The empire has asked the Ancient Sword Gate to hand you over within three days, those old guys in the inner courtyard will definitely not be able to sit still, and someone will come to arrest you soon." ”

Speaking of this, the Great Elder couldn't help but sigh bitterly, Feng Lin was a member of the Ancient Sword Sect after all, even if he fought for this old life, he would not hand her over to the Empire, this is related to the face of the Ancient Sword Gate, and if he handed over the people, wouldn't that mean that the Ancient Sword Sect would give in to the Empire!

But those old guys in the inner court, in order to stabilize their position, actually did not hesitate to expel all the people outside the inner court to the outer court.

For those old guys in the inner courtyard, all the people except the direct family are outsiders, the interests of the sect are greater than everything, and the life and death of Feng Lin alone has nothing to do with them.

The Great Elder turned his back, he felt that he had aged a lot all of a sudden, the once glorious Gu Jian Sect had now been reduced to a direct plaything, and the life and death of these people in their outer courtyard had long had nothing to do with the Gu Jian Sect.

"While the inner courtyard hasn't sent someone over, you and Li Xiuyun should leave the Ancient Sword Gate quickly. ”

The Great Elder said in a deep voice, his tone was full of helplessness, and he couldn't help but sigh bitterly: "Alas, how would the Great Master feel if he saw that the Ancient Sword Sect he founded was made into this ghost by his own descendants." ”

When the Second Elder heard the Great Elder's emotion, he couldn't help but clench his fists, they had been thinking about how to re-establish the declining Ancient Sword Sect, but in the end, they had been regarded as an outcast by the direct lineage.

"Let's go, it's getting better and better. ”

The Great Elder said again, he knew very well that there was no place for Feng Lin in the Ancient Sword Sect today.

The inner court will definitely send someone to arrest her and hand her over to the empire, for their own interests, those old guys can do anything!

"Where to go?"

A cold drink suddenly came, and a terrifying aura suddenly erupted, and the faces of the two elders couldn't help but change greatly, but it was too late.

I saw a sword light slashing through, and it instantly pierced through the chest of the second elder.

The second elder couldn't help but widen his pupils, and a stream of blood spurted out of his mouth, and the whole person flew out like a cannonball, hitting the wall a few meters away, and the blood was sprinkled all over the wall like spray paint.

"Second Elder!"

The Great Elder turned around and couldn't help but shout, and hurriedly released his breath to wrap the wounds on the Second Elder's body, which barely saved one of his lives.

A black figure fell to the small courtyard, exuding a very powerful aura on his body, this person looked at the second elder not far away with cold eyes, and said slowly: "If it weren't for the fact that you had done your best for the outer courtyard, this sword would have killed you!"
