"Shhhhh

"Fourth Senior Brother!"

Before Qing Ling could turn around, he had already recognized the voice of the fourth senior brother Yuan Qing.

In Chongwu Mountain, those who grew up with Qingling can be regarded as the fourth senior brother Yuanqing, except for the fifth senior brother Li Zhong. Yuan Qing is talented and intelligent, and his cultivation is also one of the best among all the disciples, but he is the closest to Li Zhong and Qingling, who are at the bottom of the rankings......

Qing Ling turned his head to see the fourth senior brother in a green shirt with a thin body, and immediately withdrew his illusion, his face was full of joy for his relatives to meet, "Ah! What are you doing here? Wasn't Chongwu sealed by Mu Han's faction? ”

Could it be that as soon as Mu Han was caught, Chongwu Mountain would automatically lift the ban?

Yuan Qing smiled gently, "Chongwu is our territory after all, and there is always a way to sneak out if you want to hide from Chaoyan's guards." Besides, I was ordered by Master to find you. ”

Qing Ling remembered that day on Zhong Lingyuxiu Peak, Mo Qian's face was cold and resolute, and his expression darkened, "Master, he ...... You must be mad at me, right? ”

"Since you were a child, how many things have you done that made Master angry?" Yuan Qing rubbed her junior sister's hair, "But don't worry, since Master asked me to take you back, I have naturally forgiven you." ”

Hearing what Senior Brother said, Qing Ling's heart was relieved, but his throat choked, "But that day, in front of everyone, he didn't allow you to help me, and he had to hand me over to Mu Han!" Do you know that I was so sad that I wanted to fall to death! ”

Yuan Qing patted his junior sister's back soothingly, "How can Master really ignore you?" He agreed to let Prince Mu Han take you away because he was sure to save you. ”

He glanced into the courtyard through the lattice, "Let's get out of here first, and I'll tell you slowly on the way." ”

Leave?

Qing Ling hesitated and whispered, "Can ...... But I can't leave now......"

She briefly talked about her experience in Jiuqiu and Mu Chen's plans, and said: "At this critical juncture, although I can't help if I stay, I can't just leave. Otherwise, when Mu Chen successfully returns to Lingxiao City, I will go back and ask Master for his guilt? ”

Yuan Qing frowned, "Lieyang colluded with Jiuqiu to invade Chaoyan? You didn't notify the border defenders at the first time? Do you know what kind of suffering the people of the Eastern Continent will encounter if Lieyang breaks through Xianxia Pass? There is also that Jiuqiu National Master Luo Heng, whose methods are vicious and murderous, once he controls Chaoyan, I am afraid that all the gods in the Eastern Continent will be slaughtered! ”

In order to find the whereabouts of Qingling during this time, he traveled almost all over the Eastern Continent. Listening to Qing Ling talk about Lieyang's plan now, he suddenly remembered the mist that he had seen for miles in the mountains near Xianxia Pass. At the time, I only thought that the fog seemed strange, but now that I think about it, I am afraid that it was just a magic spell to hide the obstacle of the army!

Qing Ling listened to Senior Brother's serious words, and hurriedly said, "Mu Chen said that he would not let Chaoyan fall into danger!" ”

Yuanqing is outstanding in martial arts, and his personality is relatively calm, and he usually has the most opportunities to go down the mountain to do things by the master, and the invitations sent to all ethnic groups and factions at the last Ganyuan Conference are also handled by him himself, and he has a lot of insight compared to other Chongwu disciples in terms of knowing people and things.

Hearing this, he shook his head and said, "The Qingyun Sword has been lost for a long time. If you want to stop the invasion of Lieyang, you can only rely on taking precautions and arming in advance! ”

Before the death of the ancient Heavenly Emperor, it was feared that one day the Eastern Continent and the Northern Continent would conquer each other, so between the two continents, they gathered the power of the five spirits and built an invisible barrier. This barrier is actually a formation, and the eye of the formation is located in Xianxia Pass. However, to activate this barrier, the Qingyun Sword forged by the Heavenly Emperor is required.

Yuan Qing continued: "Zhang Xuannu was killed by Luo Heng's demon in Cangli, and the whereabouts of Qingyun Sword have been unknown since then. Some people also speculated that this sword finally fell into Luo Heng's hands. But in short, without the Qingyun Sword, the barrier of Xianxia Pass would be useless, and there would be no power to stop the people of Lieyang. ”

Qing Ling pondered, "But after the Cangli War, without the Qingyun Sword, didn't Mu Chen also repel Lieyang's attack?" ”

Yuan Qing said: "So I said that if you want to block the invasion of Lieyang, you can only rely on arming in advance. On the same day, Jiuqiu was defeated, Chaoyan's morale was booming, and the military strength of the whole country was concentrated in Xianxia Pass to fight against Lieyang, so naturally there was a chance of victory. During these days, on the southern border and in Yuzhong, Zhongqi and other countries, there were frequent chaos of rogues provoking the Chaoyan garrison and burning and cutting off the military supply channel. Presumably it must be the result of Luo Heng's secret instigation! I heard that one-third of the military strength of the Central Plains has now been transferred south to suppress the Liukou. If Lieyang sneaks up at this time, how can there be no chance of victory? ”

Qing Ling was in the stone house of the Zhangyao Palace, and heard Luo Heng and the general Lu of Lieyang mention that there were other gods in the Eastern Continent who were dissatisfied with Chaoyan, and now that I think about it, I am afraid that it is these so-called rogues who are in turmoil in the south. Luo Heng said that he would help Lie Yang contain Chaoyan's military strength, which was also true.

In this way, Chao Yan fell into the bureau designed by Luo Heng, his forces were scattered, and the north and south were attacked by the enemy, and it was difficult to say that he would not suffer heavy losses because of this.

Yuan Qing looked inquiringly at the pensive Qing Ling, "Little Liu, you and Prince Muchen...... Is there some kind of agreement, so I want to help him regardless of it? ”

He is not far from Qingling and Li Zhong, and he grew up together in Chongwu, so he is very familiar with each other's temperament. From the moment Qing Ling desperately rescued Mu Chen in Gan Yuan, Yuan Qing had already faintly sensed something, but thinking of her curious temperament, he didn't dare to make such a conclusion.

Qing Ling half-hung his head and said with a slight smile: "What is not agreed upon...... We...... I just said that I wouldn't leave him alone. ”

Yuan Qing looked at Qing Ling's expression, and his previous guess finally had a definite answer.

He let out a long sigh and said slowly, "Soon after you left Chongwu, I was ordered by Master to search for your whereabouts. At the beginning, because Master told me that the Seventh Senior Brother was the son of the Baili clan, I also went to Daze on a special trip, but I didn't find any trace of you. Later, I pondered, since Prince Muhan's people are also searching for you, it is better for me to follow him secretly. He has a lot of men, and he must be faster to find than me alone......

A few days ago, Mu Han seemed to have received some extremely important information, and led more than a dozen Protoss masters to hurry in the direction of Xianxia Pass. I expected that this matter was mostly related to Prince Muchen, and I followed closely all the way, hoping to find out your whereabouts along the way.

I followed them incognito until I reached a village near Xianxia Pass. In that village, most of the people living in it were Terrans and some people of the Protoss with low spiritual power, and there was no trace of Prince Muchen at all. Mu Han was disappointed and was about to leave, but at this moment, someone suddenly activated the formation on the periphery and trapped them in the village.

I had always been very vigilant, and I kept a distance from Mu Han and them, so I escaped by luck the moment the formation was activated, and I saw the whole process clearly outside.

That formation was very cleverly designed, as if it was made up of dozens of small formations. However, the most subtle and vicious thing is that the eyes of the array are set on the bodies of the residents of the village! As a result, Mu Han was completely defenseless, and he was trapped in an instant. The masters under his command rode to break through the siege, hoping to find a way to break the formation on the periphery, but were killed one by one by Mu Chen, who was guarding outside the formation. In the end, in the entire village, only Mu Han survived. ”

Qing Ling heard Mu Chen talk about the method of arranging the formation with his own body, and expected that this matter must be from him. But after all, those villagers are different from Mu Chen, who has high divine power, if they use the mortal body as a formation, the result can only be exhausted and die......

She moved her lips, and for a moment, she didn't know what to say.

Yuan Qing continued: "It's not that I haven't seen people killed, but the ruthlessness and coldness of Mu Chen's shot made me tremble!" You said that you believed that he did not plot against and usurp the throne, but have you ever thought that the reason why he was accused of that kind of crime, whether he did it or not, at least had the idea of fighting for power, so that people with hearts would be jealous of him. ”

Qing Ling's thoughts were tumbling in his mind, and in a trance, he remembered the sentence that Chun Yuyan asked himself—

No matter what happens in the future, will you stay by Mu Chen's side?

They must have had a plan in place early on, and they must have achieved their goal at the cost of human life!

Therefore, those who want to speak and stop hesitating, dodging words and gazes...... Is it all because of this?

"But, but in that environment, there is no other way."

After a while, Qingling said faintly: "If he doesn't resist, he can only be bullied." Moreover, with a younger brother like Mu Han, even if he doesn't fight, he may not be able to live freely. ”

She raised her eyes to look at Yuan Qing, her gaze wandering, "Just like you, the fourth senior brother, although he never wanted to fight for anything with the third senior brother, he has always regarded you as the biggest opponent......"

Yuan Qing frowned and interrupted her, "How can that be the same?" No matter how competitive the third senior brother is, the competition is also strength, not trickery! In my opinion, they tried to catch Mu Han, but I am afraid that it is not as simple as trying to get rid of the pursuers. They extinguished everyone's mouths, leaving Mu Han alone, most likely because they wanted to use him to lay a trap! Externally, he did not hesitate to put the Eastern Continent in danger, and internally killed innocent people and used their siblings. Someone like that, how can I keep you with him? ”

Qing Ling's heart was in turmoil.

The teachings she received since she was a child were all to be kind to others, especially the master who had to think that she had any aggressive temperament, and rarely even taught the moves of real fighting. She hadn't killed anyone, and she couldn't imagine the "ruthless and cold killing" that the fourth senior brother said. In her heart, although she also understood that Mu Chen had a stubborn and forbearant side, there was really no way to connect this Zhilan Yushu-like man with the person in her senior brother's mouth......

Or was she never really aware of him?
