After the demon beast was taken away from the demon pill, half of it was already dead, but its body was strong, barely holding on to a breath without dying, Gu Yan snorted lightly, and stroked the magic trick with both hands, and the flames that were originally scattered around closed inward, and the two qi of green qi closed at the same time, and the demon beast screamed, and it turned into flying smoke in the combination of countless flames. All that was left was a white shell on the ground.

Gu Yan fell to the ground at this time, first clearing out the surrounding poisonous miasma, and then said: "It's really unexpected that this body can be completely preserved!" She was glad that she hadn't released all the demon beast shadows in the Nine Peaks, otherwise they would have devoured all the six-legged grasshoppers, so where would she find this shell?

Bi Zhenzhen was also quite happy, "The strength of the six-legged grasshopper's body is not inferior to the essence of hardware, and it is the best material to refine the weapon." ”

Gu Yan said with a smile: "It's quite feasible to use it to refine a pair of battle armor, but with my current craftsmanship, I'm afraid I won't be able to do it, so let's put it away first and talk about it when I go back." ”

As soon as this six-legged grasshopper died, the poisonous gas of the entire Red Maple Forest began to slowly dissipate, revealing the position of the central array eye, and a formation flag lay there quietly, Gu Yan walked towards that side while putting the body into the Qiankun bag.

At this time, she suddenly felt the ground under her feet, there was a trace of breath surging rapidly, although it was extremely weak, but it went straight to the side of the array, she reacted very quickly, stretched out her hand to the ground, countless mud warriors rose to the sky, and the black mud and green water vapor in the swamp erupted, all over the sky.

In the midst of these smoke, dust and mist, a figure with a whole body black rushed out quickly, and in a blink of an eye, he swept to the direction where the array eye was, and with a stretch of his hand, he fished away the array flag, and his body fled into the distance like electricity.

Gu Yan's heart suddenly became angry, she was also a little negligent, she didn't expect that there would be such a person who was proficient in the Five Elements Escape Method. With the power of his fire spirit, he hid underground until the Chaos Yuan Qi combined to kill the six-legged grasshopper. He flew out suddenly and took away the array flag at once.

Looking at his appearance, he doesn't look like a person with profound cultivation, but the Five Elements Escape Method is profound, Gu Yan estimates that he is hidden underground, at least for seven days and eight days, this perseverance. It's really true, but it wasn't discovered by a few of his own people.

In just a blink of an eye, he had already fled to the edge of the Red Maple Forest, and Gu Yan shouted, "Intercept him!" The people hurried to that side.

The warblers guarding there were also taken aback, she guarded the entrance here, and never found anyone sneaking in, who knew that this person suddenly appeared from that side? As soon as she raised her hand, the jade ring in the shape of a dragon and phoenix flew up from her hand. The two breaths struck together, blocking the man's way at once.

When she glanced at it, she saw that it was a young man who was only seventeen or eighteen years old. was similar to his age, a pair of dark eyes revealed a sparkling and agile look, but at this time, his face was frightened and he was flying towards this side, obviously he didn't expect that when he sneaked in secretly, he would be pulled out of the ground by Gu Yan.

He saw that there was someone blocking the road in front of him, and without saying a word, he raised his hand and threw out two flying cones, which exploded in the air, blocking the dragon and phoenix double rings of the warblers, and he raised his head. It seemed as if he was about to flee into the air, drawing the attention of the warblers into the air, but he himself suddenly disappeared into the ground.

Below the ground was a swamp, and although the six-legged grasshopper was dead, the countless poisonous miasma could not be cleared immediately, and ordinary monks did not dare to enter it. Zhu Ying saw that he was only a cultivator in the late stage of foundation building, not much higher than himself, and he actually dared to go straight into the underground swamp?

Gu Yan stood in the air and sneered, "This person's Five Elements Escape Method is quite profound, the earth escapes to the water escape, it can be so delicate and clever." It's a pity that he thought it was simpler! She raised her hand, Jiu Ling Ding flew in the air, the blue and white two qi Xiangxia pressed, and the aura within a radius of dozens of miles suddenly stagnated, although it was only a short moment, but it was enough for Gu Yan to catch him out.

As soon as she swiped her hand, the ground silently cracked, and a figure was grabbed out of the ground by her, covered in black mud, and her face was blue and black, embarrassed.

Without Gu Yan's orders, Zhu Ying went up and took out the rope, tied him up, and then snatched the array flag from his hand and handed it over to Gu Yan's hands.

Gu Yan took the array flag, looked up and down a few times, and said playfully: "You should be glad that you didn't have time to imprint your divine thoughts on the array flag, otherwise your little life would have been sent on it." ”

The young man was reprimanded by a girl who looked like him, his face was a little unbearable, and he raised his neck and said, "You be careful, wait for my master to come over, and then let you obediently beg me for mercy!" ”

Gu Yan smiled dumbly, and at this time, Bi Zhenzhen came over and said in her ear: "This person should be from the Flying Bird Gate, I have also seen his master, called Duan Wuxiu, proficient in the Five Elements Escape Method, and can also be said to be one of the best in Yunze." However, I know several of his apprentices who are famous, but I have never met this person. ”

Gu Yan raised his eyebrows and said in a low voice: "This young man shouldn't be very old, but the Five Elements Escape Method is extremely profound, and it seems that he has excellent talent, maybe there is some powerful rookie in the Flying Bird Gate, maybe there is something powerful." She turned her head, smiled and said, "What's your name?" ”

Zhu Ying stood on the side, and saw that the young man held his head high and did not answer, so he kicked him heavily, "What about you, don't say it quickly!" ”

Gu Yan smiled and said, "You can take away the formation flag in the hands of the two Jiedan monks, even if you go back and let your master know, it is enough to be proud, and if you are caught by me, there is nothing to complain about." Say your name and I won't kill you. ”

The young man lowered his head at this time, but still glanced at Zhu Ying stubbornly, and then said: "My name is Yu Shang, and I am a disciple accepted by the master seventeen years ago, and I came with me this time. ”

Gu Yan was slightly surprised, "You have only been in the beginning for seventeen years, and you can cultivate to the middle stage of foundation building, which is very amazing." "The reputation of the Flying Bird Gate in Yunze is actually not very good, and in every big competition, they are fighting the idea of stealing chickens and dogs. The monks in the Flying Bird Gate are all proficient in the Five Elements Escape Method, coming and going like the wind, as fast as lightning, every time there is a big competition, they will split up, specifically find a place to ambush, and then take advantage of the time when others are about to succeed, suddenly rush out with the Five Elements Escape Method, and snatch the opponent's spoils.

But this method can only deal with some small and medium-sized sects. Like those big family sects, when hunting, there are people who arrange formations and are responsible for dividing the surrounding areas. Therefore, Asuka Gate specializes in picking up soft persimmons and pinching, and its reputation in Yunze is extremely poor. And they usually live alone in the deep mountains in the north of Yunze, and rarely interact with other people. Gu Yan hadn't seen what their head looked like.

However, this young man made her pay attention, this bold and careful young man probably thought about ambushing here early in the morning, he was so sure that someone would come here first, and he was also sure that he would be able to escape after stealing the formation flag?

She couldn't help but smile faintly. Said to Yu Shang: "You smuggled out of your master, right?" ”

Yu Shang lowered his head in some surprise and didn't answer, but obviously acquiesced. In fact, his master did not allow him to travel alone, as the first disciple of the younger generation to cultivate to the middle stage of foundation building, he was really a young talent who was vigorously cultivated in the Flying Bird Gate, so Duan Wuxiu, the head of the Flying Bird Gate, did not let him travel alone, just for fear of being encountered by other sects, in case of some accidents. Your own hard work will be wasted.

But Yu Shang was bold, and his Five Elements Retreat Method cultivation was extremely proficient, and ordinary Jiedan monks couldn't find him. In other places in Yunze before, he had repeatedly succeeded, and he was so bold that he actually sneaked out of Duan Wuxiu's side, and he didn't go to those crowded places, and he came to the Red Maple Forest to ambush him.

He thought very simply, although this place is dangerous, it will not be left unattended, and those major sects have not taken care of this, if any master wants to come here to break through. Even if he succeeds, he will fight with that demon beast and lose both, and in addition to victory, he will never be wary of someone coveting it on the side, he will leave if he gets it, and the chance of success is seven or eight percent.

Sure enough, it was as he thought. Seeing the four women of Bixia Sect coming to challenge the six-legged grasshopper, he began to laugh a little in his heart, but Gu Yan's thunderbolt-like means made him also startled, and after thinking about it, he decided to launch it in advance, grabbed the formation flag and left. Unexpectedly, Gu Yan's reaction was also very fast, and the arrangement outside the forest was thorough, first let Zhu Ying stop him, and then the chaotic vitality was activated, sealing all the surrounding five elements aura, this time, even if his five elements escape method was refined, the aura could not operate, and he could not escape, so he could only be caught by Gu Yan in front of his eyes.

Although Gu Yan's age is not very old, he is much more experienced than Yu Shang, who was a fledgling at the beginning, and he guessed the general situation in just two sentences. She looked at Yu Shang, who was tied up by the warblers, the two of them glared at each other, and the big eyes were small eyes, and she couldn't help but have a little headache, although she was decisive in killing on weekdays, but after all, she was not a cruel and easy person to kill, this young man didn't offend himself too much, and he was very talented, so he killed him, but he was a little unbearable. But she couldn't walk around the streets with a captive. She squinted her eyes and looked Yu Shang up and down, thinking about whether she wanted to take this opportunity to get some benefits from the hands of the Flying Bird Gate, I heard that the Flying Bird Gate was constantly stealing, and she had saved a lot of good things in her hands......

Her rather playful gaze fell on Yu Shang's eyes, which made him think a little crookedly, and shouted loudly: "If you want to kill, kill, don't think of any ghost ideas!" ”

Zhu Ying said angrily: "Bold, you are so rude to my uncle!" She raised her dagger in her hand, thinking of teaching him a lesson. At this time, a figure flew like lightning outside the forest, and said loudly as it flew over: "Wait, keep people under the knife!" ”

A man in a short shirt flew from outside the forest quickly, and as soon as he raised his hand, a silver thread flew out of his hand, stopping the short sword of the warbler, and said loudly: "Stop! ”

The great liliang shook the short sword in Zhu Ying's hand, Zhu Ying was startled, and quickly released the dragon and phoenix jade ring to guard, thinking that Yu Shang's senior was coming, and turned his head to look at Gu Yan to see how she could deal with it.

Gu Yan's expression was quite strange, she didn't take out the magic weapon to defend against the enemy, but stepped forward, walked not far in front of the person, arched her hand slightly and said, "Brother Qin, I haven't seen you for a long time." ”

The person who came was Qin Feng, he originally thought that he would rush to the Red Maple Forest, so as not to prevent Gu Yan from being injured by the six-legged grasshopper, but when he walked not far away, he sensed that the poisonous miasma in the forest was slowly dissipating, obviously the six-legged grasshopper had been killed by Gu Yan, and he couldn't imagine that his friend's cultivation had reached such a point, and then he saw Gu Yan, and said in surprise: "You have actually advanced again?" ”

Gu Yan replied lightly: "It's just a fluke." ”

The two reunited for the first time in a few years, but they no longer seem to have the same feeling as when they were defending the country, their identities and family constraints are like an invisible wall, separated between the two people, so that they don't know what to do.

Qin Feng thought for a moment. only then said: "This person has something to do with me, can you borrow my face and let him go?" Let his master come up with something to redeem it, it's fine. ”

Asuka Gate in the past a while. I just threw myself under the door of the Qin family, asking for protection. This is also a decision made by the head of the company, Duan Wuxiu, after careful consideration. After all, the current momentum of the two Yunze families is gradually emerging, and a small sect like the Flying Bird Gate is not qualified to be sold at a price, and when the situation was unclear before, it could still ride the wall, but now if it is like before, it will only be eaten by other big shili. Because they decided before this big competition. Officially took refuge in the Qin family.

Qin Jing also attached great importance to their refuge, especially a few young and highly talented disciples in the Flying Bird Gate, like Yu Shang, who had already registered in the Qin family, so Qin Feng saw that Yu Shang was captured by Gu Yan, and Zhu Ying took out a short sword again, thinking that Yu Shang was going to die under the sword, so he hurriedly intervened to stop him.

The corners of Gu Yan's mouth showed a light smile. "Oh, is it also a subordinate of the Qin family? The Qin family is really not small, and even the Flying Bird Gate is willing to take refuge in you. ”

Qin Feng could naturally hear the sarcasm in her words. Thinking of fighting side by side when they were defending the country, I couldn't help but feel a little sentimental in my heart, and said in a low voice: "Xiao Gu, about Cumulus Peak, it's me ......"

Gu Yan waved his hand, "There is no need to mention this matter again, I know it's none of your business." She smiled, "Anyway, I don't think you won't believe that I'll be crushed by that group of Cumulus Peak, right?" ”

Her tone became cheerful. But Qin Feng's heart was sinking a little bit, he always felt that although Gu Yan was within reach of his eyes, people were getting farther and farther away from him, and he said urgently and loudly: "Xiao Gu, I came this time to bring you good news!" ”

"Oh?" Gu Yan showed a narrow smile. Said with some amusement: "It seems that as long as I get involved with the Qin family, there will be no good news." You say come and hear it? ”

Qin Feng said: "I have already spoken to the patriarch, and he has also promised to help you mediate the dispute with Cumulus Peak, and will not make them difficult with you." ”

Bi Zhenzhen exhaled secretly, no matter what, she was still quite worried about being an enemy of Cumulus Peak, a sect that had accumulated a lot of power in Dongyang County. At that time, when they heard that Gu Yan was missing, they relied on the blood in their hearts, and they would rather be broken than destroyed, but now that Gu Yan has returned, Bi Zhenzhen thought that there are some things that can be wronged, and it is better not to fight for jade. If the other party can stop the dispute for the sake of the Qin family's face, then it seems that there is no need to be aggressive.

Qin Feng said these words eagerly, but Gu Yan didn't seem to appreciate it very much, she said lightly: "Presumably, your old ancestor won't do something meaningless, I don't know what the conditions are?" ”

Hearing Gu Yan's words, Qin Feng's heart seemed to be suddenly blocked with a big stone, and he repeated Qin Chong's words in a somewhat dry voice, "The ancestor hopes that you can be classified into the Qin family, exist as a branch of the Qin family, and retain your status, but the resources of the sect must be unified by the Qin family." In the Qin family's system, it will be one level lower than Cumulus Peak, but it is still the descendant of the Qin family, and it can also be supported by the Qin family in terms of resources. I don't know what you think? ”

"That's it......" Gu Yan's eyebrows raised, and he casually played with the demon beast Yuan Dan in his hand, and he didn't look committal for a while, Qin Feng's heart gave birth to a trace of hope, and he couldn't help but say: "Xiao Gu, I also know that you are unwilling to be subservient to others, but now Yunze, the situation is like this, the situation is becoming more and more distinct, if you don't belong to one side, you will be suppressed by two families at the same time, Bixia Sect is your hard work, can you bear to watch it suffer the final destruction?" I know that Cumulus Peak has gone too far this time, but if you want to do something big, can't you really bear the anger of the moment? ”

Bi Zhenzhen frowned, looking noncommittal, but Zhu Ying and Lin Zitong who were standing behind them were all on fire when they heard it, the meaning of the Qin family, didn't they still think about annexing Bixia Sect, just because Gu Yan returned, they felt that Cumulus Peak no longer had the ability to completely annex them, so they would go out in person, right?

Zhu Ying looked at Qin Feng in front of him angrily, originally thought that Qin Feng was a good person, but now he looked more and more hateful.

Lin Zitong thought carefully, thought more, thinking that Gu Yan was not that kind of reckless character, she was bold and careful, planned and then moved, if it was really as Qin Feng said, it would not be surprising to endure the anger for a while, but I don't know what choice she would make? She silently thought in her heart, no matter what decision she made, I would always support her.

Gu Yan sighed lightly at this time, and she said to Qin Feng: "I have known Brother Qin for a long time, but I was in the southeast back then, and now Zaijian, you are the heir of the family, I am afraid that between us, there are no longer the previous years." ”

Qin Feng's heart suddenly sank, and although Gu Yan said it tactfully, it was clear that he had rejected him. This woman, she refused the Qin family's solicitation, and refused the opportunity she tried so hard to win for her, she clearly wanted to embark on a road of no return, a dead end of confrontation with the Yuan and Qin families at the same time!

He said a little unwillingly: "Xiao Gu, don't you want to think about it clearly, now that the two poles of Yunze have become a success, what chance do you have to survive in the cracks, this is not in the southeast back then, you can go alone in a chic manner, you have your own responsibilities, you have to think about the entire Bixia Sect, don't let them bury for you!" ”

He paused for a moment, and then said: "Besides, haven't you thought that the Qin family is a stage that can allow you to play more, and the two of us can work together to break out of our own world in Yunze, no worse than those heirs of the Nine Great Sects!" ”

He almost said these words with a roar, with some anger and unwillingness in his tone, could it be that the friendship of joining forces back then could really be let go so easily?

Gu Yan smiled faintly, "Brother Qin, I stepped into the path of cultivation, and I was bent on seeking the Great Dao, and I had no intention of getting involved. I don't want to be a vassal of others. As you said, I also have my own responsibility to bring them into the Qin family, so that the entire Bixia Sect will be under the Qin family, is this the fate of the Bixia Sect? ”

She raised her head slightly, looked at the sky with indifferent eyes, and felt that her thoughts were flying around uncontrollably, as if she had returned to her youth in Qingyun Mountain, she was agitated and unyielding in front of Gu Hengchen.

"I'm not someone who is willing to be bound, and the Bixia Sect is not a sect that has to rely on others to survive. As you said, the momentum of the two poles of Yunze has been achieved, so who can say that Bixia Sect cannot be the third pole of Yunze? ”

She bowed lightly to Qin Feng, "Brother Qin, you have your bonds, I have my concerns, after all, I am not a person who walks on the same road." The friendship back then was especially there, if you can let go of the family affairs, you will still be my friend, otherwise it will meet one day, if you represent the Qin family, I will not miss the old love too much. Gu Yan is here as a courtesy, and the right is to make an end to the old things of the year! ”

She bowed deeply to Qin Feng, but didn't say a word again. waved his hand at Zhu Ying, signaling her to untie Yu Shang's rope and let him go by himself.

Zhu Ying let go of Yu Shang according to his words, Qin Feng sighed speechlessly, his eyes were full of regret and incomprehension, and finally said: "My trip has been fruitless, Cumulus Peak will definitely not let you go." His eyes looked at Gu Yan and said word by word, "No matter what, with our friendship back then, I won't let them hurt you." This is also a zuihou guarantee that I can do. For the rest, you can do it yourself! ”

He waved his hand to Bi Zhenzhen and the others again, grabbed Yu Shang, and then flew away.

Gu Yan sighed, himself and Qin Feng, as I said just now, are people walking on two roads, Gu Yan can understand his thoughts, but he can't understand Gu Yan's thoughts. Otherwise, he would not have said that to solicit himself.

The things that these people in the family bear on their shoulders are a boost on their spiritual path, but at the same time, they are also restrained.

She took a deep breath, turned her head, and smiled, "Okay, pack your things and hit the road!" (To be continued)
