303 Leave late at night

Today's many trivial matters are tiring, and if they continue to stay here, maybe Lu Zhirun will have some conspiracy, and before they have time to rest, they began to pack up and prepare to leave Xilu overnight. After instructing the matter, Lan Junyao was ready to bathe.

Although Shopkeeper Lin did not go with them today, he kept an eye on the movements over there, and naturally knew the news that the young master had withdrawn from the enemy, and if he could receive such an apprentice, the old master must be able to look at it in the sky.

After a long time of not waiting for the young master to return, and the shopkeeper Lin was not sleeping well, Lan Junyao and they came back, so he walked out of the room in his clothes, and when he saw Lan Junyao's somewhat embarrassed appearance, he was even more in tears.

It seems that the mansion in the West Continent can't be left, but fortunately, it is only temporarily purchased by the shopkeeper Lin, and it is convenient to tidy it up. He had the hot water boiled and others packed up, but what should have been a peaceful night was busy.

Immersed her body in the bathtub, leaving only her head on the water, the dense water vapor blinded Lan Junyao's eyes, and her eyes gradually became blurred, she exhaled hard, only to feel that the depression in her chest was also discharged from her body along with this turbid breath.

Lu Zhirun is cunning, and if he wants to avenge his master, he can't act rashly. Since she came to the Western Continent, she has realized that her every move is under his surveillance, and her actions throughout the day are also deliberately done to him. Presumably, after today's events, he will definitely not give up, which is why she is in a hurry to leave from Xilu.

Shaking her head, she sank into the water a little more, the hot water drowning her neck, making it impossible to breathe. Today's events, the biggest beneficiary is the Great Elder and his party, although she doesn't know what the holy relics are, but she can vaguely perceive that since the essence blood was absorbed by Qianqiu Heavy Lock, she has a constant relationship with the Wu Clan.

After soaking in the water for a full hour, it was not until the water lost its temperature that Lan Junyao got up from the bath tub. It was still a simple men's dress, and after she finished putting it on, she went straight to the Great Elder, and if she didn't figure out this matter, she would never be able to settle down.

Everyone in the mansion was busy with their own business, and she knocked on the door gently, and the Great Elder immediately opened the door and invited her in, so that it seemed that the Great Elder had been waiting for her to arrive.

Walking into the room of the Great Elder, she found that the Third Elder and the Sixth Elder were also waiting for her here. She nodded slightly at the two of them and sat down in the chair across from them.

Thinking about this action, the Great Elder has always looked like he is winning, even if he tracked them down before without success, he didn't show the slightest panic, could this unexplained confidence be because of this so-called holy relic, Lan Junyao didn't know.

When they met again, the three elders were still smiling, he got up and poured a glass of water for Lan Junyao, and the two seemed to be old friends who had reunited after a long absence. "From now on, it will be a family, and I hope to forgive me for my previous disrespect to the saint. ”

Lan Junyao was noncommittal to the words of the three old people, so far, she has not had a good impression of the Wu clan, and her sense of belonging is impossible to talk about. All she has been here recently is just to know what the origin of the Qianqiu Heavy Lock, which even the master can't see.

The four of them put on a posture of a long talk, the busyness in the house could not affect them at all, the wick of the oil lamp was cut a few times, and Lan Junyao finally figured out the reason for the whole thing, but after listening to it, he still felt incredible.

What the Great Elder told her was a message that had been passed down from generation to generation by the Wu Clan, and Lan Junyao's guess was right, this holy relic really had a lot to do with the Queen Phoenix. Legend has it that this thing is with the queen of the phoenix together in the world, the ancestors of the Wu clan had the honor of befriending the queen of the phoenix, the two had a fate, and then I don't know what the reason is, has been carried by the queen of the phoenix with the holy relics settled in the Wu clan.

This holy relic not only carries the entrustment of the ancestors of the Wu clan, but also contains a shocking secret. The Wu Clan's recuperation over the years is also to verify this oath. The trend of the world, divided and combined, will be divided for a long time, the continent has been divided for too long, and her arrival is in line with this so-called destiny.

After listening to the words of the Great Elder, Lan Junyao's impression of the Wu Clan improved a lot, she originally thought that the Wu Clan was waiting for an opportunity to re-emerge, but the ancestors of the Wu Clan had already expected the recent situation, and all they had to do was to promote the trend of the world.

After seeing the master's unpredictable calculation ability, Lan Junyao couldn't help but be in awe of the ancestor of the Wu clan, there were a few people in the world who could break the temptation of the world, and that great power would make such a decision, I am afraid it had a lot to do with the Wu clan's transformation from prosperity to decline.

"The Holy Maiden should understand why we have to leave you in the Wu Clan, right?" At this moment, the Great Elder was no longer as indifferent as she had seen before, and the old face that had been crisscrossed by ravines showed a wise light like a master, and to be so respected by the clansmen, the Great Elder was naturally not as ruthless as Lan Junyao thought before.

"In the case of Frost Qin, my handling is indeed a little improper, and I have to accompany the Holy Maiden in this matter. It's just that we have to find her, our people have a tradition of sacrifice for generations, and the rules of our ancestors cannot be abolished. Although it is claimed that she was raised to find the Holy Maiden, in fact she is the one who sacrifices in place of the Holy Maiden. The Great Elder explained.

Lan Junyao couldn't help but be secretly shocked when she heard this, the Wu Clan's cultivation of her was actually to sacrifice in her place, she was mixed with her own luck, and her "love at first sight" for Ling Qixuan was actually acting on her own behalf to some extent.

For this matter, the Great Elder also apologized, causing her to lose her child is not expected by him, but if she wants to replace herself, she must steal part of her fortune, as for which part, even he has no control.

Lan Junyao's mood is very complicated, it is really providential. It's like being suddenly replaced by someone else, doing everything you are supposed to do, and you're watching like an outsider.

Suddenly, the statue of the sacrificial girl of the witch clan that he had seen in his previous life jumped into his mind again, and his cold eyes looked straight into his heart. The hint of a sly smile on her lips was particularly chilling to think about now, the person's face was still clear, and it gradually coincided with Shuangqin's appearance, Lan Junyao shuddered.

"Let go of such an opportunity to rise, will the Great Elder really be willing?" Lan Junyao asked a question that had been buried in her heart for a long time.

"If it weren't for the confession of the ancestors, I'm afraid that there would be no trace of the activities of the witch clan in this world. The Holy Maiden has also been to the Wu Clan, if you are allowed to stay in the Wu Clan, would you be willing?" The Great Elder's kind face made her not feel any disobedience at all, as if this was what he should be.

Lan Junyao nodded, putting aside the previous misunderstanding in her heart, the current living environment of the Wu Clan can indeed be called a "paradise", and it is somewhat similar to the environment of Moyun Valley, if she is allowed to live in such an environment, she is naturally very happy.

"We have lived here for generations, and we have long been accustomed to this kind of life, and the deceit and deceit of the world are troublesome, and we are used to such comfort, and it is no longer suitable for the Wu clan to participate in the struggle for power. The Great Elder was very satisfied with this kind of life, and such great wisdom was impressive.

"No matter how the saint decides, we will do our best to help, I only have one thing to say, the rise and fall are only in a thought, if the saint is difficult to make a decision in the future, you might as well think about what I said today. This kind of open conversation has shortened the distance between the two sides a lot, and Lan Junyao has also understood why Sanzhang Lao would say such things to her before.

"Great Elder, don't worry, what I said tonight, I will never say it to another person. Lan Junyao got up to say goodbye, and at the same time made her own promise.

The reasons for the transfer have all been prepared, Lan Junyao stepped out of the room of the Great Elder and the others, and the people outside were ready to go, as long as she gave an order, everyone would leave from the Western Continent.

Leaving here a moment earlier, their safety was one more guarantee, Lan Junyao turned on her horse and headed in the direction of the city gate. Halfway through the night, the people of the city fell into a deep sleep, and there was not a single patrol in the streets, which also provided great convenience for their departure.

The horses' hooves were wrapped in a layer of cotton cloth, which minimized their movements, but fortunately they did not have too much to pack, and all they carried in their hands was a simple little baggage, in which some dry food and a few changes of clothes were placed.

When approaching the city gate, Lan Junyao ordered the whole team to listen, she looked at the dark city gate in the distance, and immediately got off the horse. In the past, there were always two kerosene lamps burning at the city gates, which were obscure but could also show the way for those who walked at night.

It was as if a huge beast with an open mouth was hidden under the city gates, and when they approached, it swallowed them mercilessly. All of them felt a sense of mountain rain coming and the wind filling the building.

Lan Junyao's face gradually became gloomy, and since they rushed back, they had been preparing to leave non-stop and other matters, in order to leave from Xilu before Lu Zhirun could react. Now it seems that they are a step slower, and the people and horses dormant at the city gate are probably them.

Lan Junyao's thoughts raced, and she made a gesture and ordered everyone to stand by. She glanced back and beckoned Blue Cloud to her side and asked him to explore the way.

As the blue clouds approached the city gate step by step, they held their breath one by one, quietly waiting for his movements. Lan Yunjuan's whole person was on alert, and he pressed one hand on the hilt of his sword, ready to deal with unexpected situations at any time.

One step, two steps, three steps, the figure of the blue cloud scroll gradually disappeared into the darkness, he held the long sword, explored the way with the scabbard, and waved his hand in an empty space, and there was no one under the city gate. Further on was the city gate, and he felt the deadbolt of the door, took a deep breath, and prepared to open it.
