"So outside the entrance and exit of that valley is where his secret is? He doesn't want people to know, including his disciples? Xia Ruolan, who was smart about ice and snow, also realized the problem at this moment, and looked at Yin Feng and said softly.

"It shouldn't be wrong, after you say this, I think that the demonic beast we saw in the dense fog is mostly related to him, otherwise that kind of demonic beast has no reason to be afraid of the valley and dare not approach, and they also said that this demonic beast has only come in recent years, and its roar can often be heard, but it has never been seen close to the valley, and they all think that Qiu Changsheng's seal has worked!"

Mu Feng's brows furrowed, and after listening to their words, he also indirectly confirmed his guess.

"This possibility is not impossible, wasn't it the time when the Storm Hall was destroyed and the Ancient Sword Sect was closed a few years ago?" After listening to his guess, the three of them all trembled in their hearts, and their expressions became solemn, and after a while, Zhuo Zichen nodded and said in a deep voice.

"No wonder he was so nervous before, it looks like you've found the right place!" Xia Ruolan recalled that Qiu Changsheng's face suddenly changed at the dinner table before, I am afraid that it was because Mu Feng and Zhuo Zichen were close to the boulder that made him worry that his conspiracy would be revealed, so he left in such a hurry regardless of etiquette.

"Well, the effect of beating the rabbit with grass has been achieved, and now we can boldly assume that the secret of that old thing is hidden outside the valley." The corners of Mu Feng's mouth rose to reveal a cold smile, the approximate goal was found, and it was not in vain, this trip was almost mired in the quagmire and died!

"Hehe, this old guy is really careful enough, he doesn't hide things in his own territory, but hides them outside the valley. Looks like there's something wrong with him! Yinfeng chuckled.

"So what do we do now? Not to mention that outside the valley, as you said before, there are bottomless mud swamps everywhere and an incomparably rich poisonous mist, I'm afraid it will be difficult for us to get out of this bamboo building alone! Zhuo Zichen exhaled deeply, looked at the three people in front of him, and said in a deep voice.

"Yes, even if you get there, the chances of finding his secret are too small, anyway, this old thing is definitely not simple, why don't we go back to the sect and report to the elders, he can forbid us to walk around in the valley, can it be possible to prevent us from going back?" Yinfeng thought for a moment before replying softly.

"That's a way, too, but can you convince the elders to go back like this without hard evidence? After all, the Ancient Sword Sect is now also on the right path and has a certain influence, in case the elders organize all forces to come here to crusade and finally find no evidence, wouldn't it be a disadvantage for the elders, and then I am afraid it will not simply be punished by some punishment. Zhuo Zichen pondered for a while, looked at the three of them with some doubts, and said.

"Well, that's true, but now we can't find conclusive evidence!" Zhuo Zichen nodded, revealing an embarrassed and melancholy expression.

"But there's no point in us staying here, in my opinion, let's go out and find the incompetent them first, maybe he didn't set up more perception points, at least it's certain that the incompetence hasn't been discovered by him, right?" Mu Feng pondered for a moment and then looked at the three people in front of him and said seriously.

It would be useless to go back now, but it is impossible to find any valuable clues if they continue to stay in this valley, and if they act rashly, they don't know if there is still a perception point of Qiu Changsheng in this valley, the safest way is to leave here first and find the incompetent in the swamp as Mu Feng said, and then make plans.

After some discussion, the four of them also had a result, and each returned to his room to rest and recuperate mentally and physically.

In the early morning of the next day, before the morning fog in the valley dissipated, Mu Feng and the four of them walked out of the bamboo building, and several disciples of the Ancient Sword Sect who seemed to be practicing in the morning outside the bamboo building saw them come out and immediately gathered around them with vigilance.

"A few senior brothers got up so early!" An Ancient Sword Sect disciple came to the four of them and smiled.

"You're up early, too." Zhuo Zichen chuckled.

"I'm used to it, senior brother, it's cold in the valley this morning, you better go back to the house, I'll have someone bring you breakfast." The Ancient Sword Sect disciple replied with a faint smile.

The meaning of his words could not be clearer, that is, he didn't want them to leave the bamboo building, and at the same time, the more than ten disciples of the Ancient Sword Sect around him also said to them in unison, "Please come back to the house with a few senior brothers!" ”

The four of them glanced at each other and shook their heads with wry smiles, which had long been expected by them, and they were not surprised at the moment.

"Hehe, I misunderstood, there is still something in our sect, and it has been delayed for a lot of time to come out this time, so let's go and ask the sect master to resign." The four of them had long expected this situation, and Zhuo Zichen stepped forward with a smile and said to everyone in front of him.

As soon as these words came out, this group of Ancient Sword Sect disciples looked at each other in a daze, looking at each other, obviously Qiu Changsheng gave them an order not to let the four of them leave the Bamboo Tower, but now that the four of them were leaving the Ancient Sword Sect, they seemed a little at a loss for a while.

"What? Do we need to have the Sect Master come here in person to ask for our resignation? Seeing the hesitant and dazed appearance of this group of Ancient Sword Sect disciples, the corners of Zhuo Zichen's mouth rose to reveal a slightly sarcastic smile.

"No~no~ No, please come with me." The disciples of the Ancient Sword Sect led by him were stunned for a moment, hurriedly shook their heads and waved their hands to make a gesture of invitation to the four of them, and stepped forward to lead the way.

They could find all kinds of lame reasons to prohibit the four of them from leaving the bamboo building, because this was a death order given to them by Qiu Changsheng, but now that they were going home, they really couldn't find any excuse to stop them.

Under the leadership of more than a dozen disciples of the Ancient Sword Sect, the four of them walked along the stone path in the secluded valley in the morning mist of the mountains, and walked in the direction of the Ancient Sword Pavilion, everyone was silent along the way, and the atmosphere seemed a little depressing.

"What about the little five and six?" After being silent for a long time, Mu Feng was a little breathless, and asked a disciple of the Ancient Sword Sect beside him curiously.

After coming here for a day or two, so many handsome men and beauties Li Mufeng also had a good impression of Xiao Wu and Xiao Liu.

The person next to him grinned at Mu Feng and didn't answer, which made Mu Feng feel a little inexplicable, and turned his eyes to the other person beside him, and the other party also smiled at him, Mu Feng suddenly had an ominous premonition in his heart.

As soon as the Ancient Sword Pavilion spoke, in front of the circular stone slab viewing platform in front of the pavilion, a disciple of the Ancient Sword Sect just wanted to enter the ceremony, and saw Qiu Changsheng, who was dressed in blue and white with crane hair and a smile on his face, walking out of it.

"Four, what is this?" Qiu Changsheng looked at the four people in front of him and asked, pretending to be puzzled.

"The junior is here to ask the sect master to resign, because there are still many things to deal with in the sect, and we have been out for a while, so we really can't afford to delay." Zhuo Zichen replied respectfully.

"What? Leaving so soon? Could it be that I'm not hospitable here? Or did they you off? Qiu Changsheng thought for a moment, frowned slightly, and pointed to the group of disciples standing beside them, and said in confusion.

"No, no, no, the brothers are very good to us, and they are very attentive. It's just that we do have a lot of things to do now, and we have to say goodbye to you in this hurry. Zhuo Zichen waved his hand again and again and replied sincerely.

"Hey, okay, you are still very young and have more to do in the future, I won't keep you, I will come here often to play when I have time in the future, and I will say hello to your elders for me when I go back!" Qiu Changsheng was silent for a moment, and then let out a soft sigh and nodded at the four of them with a smile.

"The juniors must bring it." Zhuo Zichen replied with a salute to him again.

"Ah Da, you can take someone to send them out, you are not familiar with the way out." After Qiu Changsheng nodded, he pointed to a young man who looked to be in his thirties standing next to the four of them, with sword eyebrows and starry eyes.

"Yes!" The young man named Ah Da nodded and replied respectfully.

"You don't have to bother Senior Brother, right? We remember the way we came. These words suddenly made Mu Feng's four hearts tremble, they didn't expect Qiu Changsheng to let people send them out.

Although this won't have much of an impact on what they're going to do next, it will also add some unnecessary trouble, and being sent out and coming back when the time comes will not only delay time, but it will also be difficult to explain if they find out again.

If they go out on their own, even if they are caught in the swamp, they can justifiably say that they have lost their way in the swamp.

After thinking about it, Zhuo Zichen said with a calm smile to the cultivator named Ah Da beside him.

"Eh, the terrain is complicated outside, didn't you get lost when you came? For the sake of safety, the nephew can't risk his life. Ah Da, you sent the four teachers and nephews out of the death swamp safely, do you understand? Qiu Changsheng smiled lightly and waved his hand again and again, and then said earnestly to Ah Da.

Seeing that Qiu Changsheng insisted on doing this, the four of them also felt "gracious", although they were unwilling to do anything, they could only accept it obediently.

Everyone knew very well in their hearts that Qiu Changsheng was ostensibly asking this group of people to escort them out, but in fact, he wanted them to supervise whether they left this death swamp.

In desperation, the four of them had no choice but to accept the escort of Ah Da and the other two disciples of the Ancient Sword Sect, and after bending down together again to say goodbye to Qiu Changsheng, they followed the winding and rugged gravel road in the steep and steep mountain forest under the leadership of the three of them, and it didn't take long for them to reach the top of the valley.

Condescendingly, the surrounding clouds are light and the wind is light, and on the side is the valley where the beautiful and magnificent Ancient Sword Sect is located, but under the mountain is a gray and dense fog, and they can't see the specific appearance below, but they all know that it is a quagmire from this place more than 100 meters high.

Halfway up the mountain, Yin Feng, who was walking cautiously down behind the three of them, suddenly stopped and took a deep look at the quiet woods on the side.

Mu Fenggang felt a little strange and wanted to ask, because now they were walking down an almost steep mountain path, as the so-called going up the mountain is easy and difficult to go down, the road is only a little wider, Yin Feng blocked in front of Mu Feng and almost made Mu Feng have no time to stop and almost hit him, but when he found that Zhuo Zichen and Xia Ruolan behind him were also looking in the direction of Yin Feng's gaze, and the eyes of the three were full of doubts, Mu Feng realized that it seemed that they had discovered something.

The cultivators themselves are very sensitive to some anomalies in the outside world, which is what makes them different from ordinary people, Mu Feng looked in the direction where the three of them stopped and stared, there was nothing in the quiet woods, and it was obvious that he did not have the keen perception ability as Yin Feng and them.

"What's wrong?" After a moment, Mu Feng asked in a low voice.

"It's nothing, let's go faster!" Yin Feng smiled slightly, and the three people below found that they had not followed and stopped to wait for Ah Da to ask, so Yin Feng urged everyone to continue descending the mountain.

Walking in the swamp filled with miasma, with three people leading the way, they walked a lot easier, just follow their footprints without worrying about the dangers lurking around them, and there are some places that are too narrow and even need to jump a few meters to avoid the mire, which is not difficult for Zhuo Zichen and them, but for Mu Feng, they also feel a little difficult.

In some small places, they walked like flying on the ground, and their bodies were light and only needed to tap their toes to the ground, as easy as a dragonfly touching water, and Mu Feng had to secretly launch the Sanqing Sword Pose to mobilize their body functions when they were in such a narrow place that they couldn't even stand on one foot, and the two sides were bubbling with foul smells and yellow blisters, so they could barely keep up with their pace.

In this quiet but dangerous swamp, the surrounding miasma and dense fog are mixed with gas, and it is now early in the morning, the sun has not yet fully risen, and some of the morning fog that would have been evaporated has not dissipated, resulting in exceptionally low visibility, the four of them dare not be careless and can only keep up with the speed of the three, and they also have some experience of the horror of this swamp, and they dare not run rashly at the moment.

In the quiet and silent swamp, each other's breathing and heartbeats could be heard, everyone was frowning slightly, and the atmosphere became extremely depressing, because no matter what Zhuo Zichen said and asked, the answers of the three people who led the way in front always seemed so careless and understatement.

The attitude of the three of them gives people the feeling: Don't talk nonsense, take you out as soon as possible, and we can go back to the business!

It's useless to talk more, Zhuo Zichen and the others no longer chat with the three of them, and it is impossible to extract some valuable information from their mouths, but their intuition tells them that the person named Ah Da in front of them must have won Qiu Changsheng's trust.

The other disciples in the Ancient Sword Sect also respected this person before, although they had inquired when they came, the Ancient Sword Sect had not yet set up a chief disciple, but there was no suspense that the Ah Da in front of him, who did not like words, had already fulfilled the responsibility of the chief disciple in the Ancient Sword Sect.

I don't know how long I walked in this quagmire, Mu Feng felt a little short of breath, there was a feeling of being out of breath, looking at the three people on the side who were still calm and relaxed, Mu Feng smiled bitterly in his heart, there was no suspense that he was afraid that he had inhaled too much of this poisonous gas.
