Chapter 120: A Difficult Decision
Before he finished his words, Xu Ziyan curled his fingers and flicked them, and a wisp of finger wind shot through the man's throat, and a bloody arrow came out. Xu Ziyan's face turned white in an instant, this was her second close-range murder after killing the village chief, holding back the churning between her chest and abdomen, Xu Ziyan coldly swept her gaze over those sailors, and the merchant said:
"Is there anyone else to talk to?
All of them closed their mouths and looked at Xu Ziyan in fear. I originally thought that a girl should be soft-hearted, but I didn't expect to be more ruthless, where did I dare to spit out a word from my mouth one by one? It was Xu Mei behind her, Xu Lan and Xu Meiruo also opened their eyes and looked at Xu Ziyan in shock. Xu Ziyan secretly adjusted his breathing, his face regained a hint of redness, and his eyes coldly swept over the person opposite and said:
"Don't have anything to say? Then listen to me, who are you now? Are you captives, captives, and knowledge? As a prisoner, you should have the consciousness of being a prisoner, don't challenge my patience, I don't mind killing you all and throwing you into the river"
The faces of the remaining merchants and sailors on the opposite side changed in unison, their eyes shrank into the focus of fear, and the eyes of Xu Lin and the other male disciples also changed, revealing a sense of awe. The eyes of Xu Mei and the other female disciples were full of surprise and unbearability. Xu Ziyan couldn't control everyone's reactions at this time, what she was thinking about now was to be able to take her ten people out of here safely.
Xu Ziyan's gaze swept over those merchants and sailors, and found that there were no masters among them, and those sailors were all cultivators below the fifth layer of the day after tomorrow. Xu Ziyan pondered for a moment, and said with a wry smile in his heart, if there is more than five layers of cultivation, who will be a sailor? Those merchants are only acquired cultivation, and they are not high, and the highest is only about ten layers of the day after tomorrow. However, there are a few guards with high cultivation.
Xu Ziyan gathered the people from the two cabins together, and after taking a look, there were probably six guards left, four of them were the cultivation of the twelfth layer of the day after tomorrow, and two were the cultivation of the first layer of the Qi refining period. Xu Ziyan frowned, and a voice in her heart told her that these six people could not stay, especially the two guards of the first layer of the Qi Refining Period, if they wanted to escape, it would be much easier.
Xu Ziyan lowered his eyes slightly, and waved his hand at the six guards, Xu Qi, Xu Lin and Xu Tianwolf rushed over quickly, but in an instant, the six guards lay on the ground and turned into corpses. The smell of blood rippled between Xu Ziyan's mouth and nose, and there was a stirring between his chest and abdomen, and his face turned a little paler. A wry smile appeared in my heart:
"That is, this ship is basically a group of ordinary people, and only this group of rookie robbers can succeed in robbing so quickly, if those cultivators on the continent know that they are leading a group of cultivators in the Qi refining stage to rob an ordinary person's ship, I don't know if Lu Dao will be so shocked that his eyes will fall."
"Who else is in charge here?" Xu Ziyan breathed a sigh of relief, suppressed the churn between his chest and abdomen, and said coldly.
The remaining three merchant-looking men looked at each other, and one of them stepped forward cautiously and whispered:
"It's me, fairy, what do you command?"
Xu Ziyan looked him up and down, and saw that his figure was extremely fat, his head was very wide, his face was also very big, and he was fleshy, even if he was not smiling, his eyes were smiling, and he looked a little silly. However, Xu Ziyan was not confused by his physiognomy, how could a businessman be stupid? Therefore, as soon as he saw the appearance of that person, four words immediately flashed in Xu Ziyan's mind: "Stupid face thief"
"Name?" Xu Ziyan asked coldly.
"Wang Honest Fairy," the man said innocently.
"From now on, this ship is ours, and we'll let you go when we get to the ground, but until then, you'd better be honest with me, or you know what that means, understand? Xu Ziyan's gaze released a hint of fierceness.
"Ming...... Got it!" All of them nodded their heads like chickens pecking rice.
"Lift anchor and start the boat immediately" Xu Ziyan's eyes disappeared from the fierce light, and said lightly.
"Yes, it's a fairy, let's lift anchor and start the boat immediately" The king nodded and said quickly: "Fairy, where are we going?" ”
"To the west, down the river."
"Yes" Wang Laoshi nodded with a smile at Xu Ziyan and the others, and then turned to those sailors and shouted: "Why don't you go to work and wait here to die?"
The sailors scrambled out of the doorway, and four of them ran to the side of the ship and pulled the anchor up. Xu Lan descended from the air and shook his head slightly towards Xu Ziyan, meaning to tell Xu Ziyan that there was neither anyone who escaped through the net, nor outsiders who discovered the actions here.
The only three remaining merchants and those sailors saw that Xu Lan, a delicate and timid girl, could fly with a sword, and their hearts became even more afraid, although they were working in their hands, their eyes were full of fear, and they secretly looked at Xu Ziyan standing in the middle of the deck from time to time.
Xu Ziyan's eyes looked at Xu Qi, after all, Xu Qi was once the captain appointed by the family, so Xu Ziyan still retained enough respect for Xu Qi, and said softly:
"Senior Brother Xu Qi, in addition to the sailors, you put the three merchants and other family members and servants in the warehouse, and send someone to watch over them."
"Okay," Xu Qi nodded. As soon as he wanted to act, he saw Wang honestly, who had been standing cautiously beside him, smiled and moved two steps forward, and said with caution:
"Fairy, let me stay, this ship is mine, oh, it's the fairy's now" Seeing Xu Ziyan frowning slightly, Wang Laoshi hurriedly said with a smile:
"I am very familiar with this ship, I can stay here to help the fairy, the fairy is an immortal, how can I let the fairy do those tedious things, if the fairy has something, as long as I give an order, I will immediately go to help with it."
Xu Ziyan's expression hesitated slightly, then glanced at the Xu family disciples standing beside him, and finally nodded lightly and said:
"It's okay, you have to do things with all your heart"
"Yes, I must do my best" After a pause, Wang Laoshi said with a smiling face: "Where are you going?" ”
Xu Ziyan's eyes froze, and he said coldly, "This is not what you should ask, what you do should be how to do things as you are told, not to ask things that you should not know." ”
"I see, I see," Wang Laoshi said with a humble bow at once. He tiptoed to the side, thinking incessantly:
"These people are all immortal cultivators, so they shouldn't take a fancy to their goods. If they can all fly with swords, why would they rob their own ships? Is there anything they have to say? Well? Why do you think these people are familiar? ”

Xu Haoliang took the fifty elites of the family to stand on the fork in the road where Xu Ziyan and the caravan were separated, standing there with a slight frown, and behind him stood Xu Haocang, the master of the torture hall.
"What do you think?" Xu Haoliang asked softly.
Xu Haocang also frowned deeply, looked at the two forks in the road, and finally said in a low voice: "Ninth brother, do you say that Qi'er will choose this road to the West?" ”
"Do you think Kir would make such a decision? Xu Haoliang's brows furrowed even deeper.
"What would you decide?" Xu Haocang asked slowly.
"I will take the road of the West, and other directions are simply dead ends, and they will be crushed by the strength of those families and sects, but they are not me, they are just a group of children who have never gone out and have not experienced escape."
"However, if they go the western way, then it means that they are going to the Endless Forest. That's almost no different from going to seek death," Xu Haocang's tone was full of hesitation.
"But if they don't reroute from here to the Endless Forest, they won't have a chance to change their route, and there's only one way to the Endless Forest here. If you stay here and go in other directions, you will die quickly, but if you take the path west to the Endless Forest, you will at least live a little longer. Xu Haoliang sighed lightly and said.
"However, I don't think Qi'er would have made such a risky decision." Xu Haocang shook his head and said.
"But ......" Xu Haoliang paused and said: "Fifth brother, don't forget, there is also a Xu Ziyan in that team" Speaking of this, Xu Haoliang's face revealed an extremely complicated look, and even he himself couldn't understand his current opinion on Xu Ziyan.
"Smoke? Would she make such a decision? No, although her combat effectiveness is great, she is just a girl after all, and I don't think she will be able to make such a desperate decision to survive in death. Xu Haocang shook his head very firmly, his face full of disbelief.
"Now that so many forces are looking for them, but they haven't found them, I think there is only one explanation, and the only explanation, is that they went towards the endless forest in the west." Xu Haoliang's face revealed more and more determination.
"That'...... What do you say? Ninth brother, you are the captain of the team this time" Xu Haocang looked at Xu Haoliang and said softly.
Xu Haoliang is also very hesitant now, he is also afraid that he will make a mistake in judgment, and then he will put his son in the center of all kinds of forces, and death is inevitable. In the end, he still didn't dare to take too much risk, and said softly to Xu Haocang:
"Fifth brother, you take the people of the family to stay, continue to search in all directions nearby, and deal with those powerful forces, and if you don't find Qi'er and Sky Wolf, as long as you don't provoke them, they won't come to your trouble. Send a few more people back to the family to convey the news, inform the eldest brother of the situation here, and let the eldest brother see if he can invite my father or his father to come out of the customs and come here, otherwise, even if you find Qi'er and Tianluo, with your strength, I am afraid you will not be able to escort them back. ”
"What about you?"
"I went to the Endless Forest alone, searching for them along the way
