Shangguan Yu got the pass and left the ghost domain overnight, but he didn't go outside, but came to a forest not far from the ghost domain.

At this time, it is night, there is no hanging moon, there are few stars in the night, there is only a dark and endless forest in front of you, and there are a few crows from time to time, and the whistling of the night wind and the rustle of the leaves are even more cold and weird. Shangguan Yu suddenly stopped when he reached a fork in the road, he pointed to a forest of nearly 100 meters on his right and said, "You go there, there are my people waiting there, they will take you away." ”

Ye Lingluo said: "What about you?"

Shangguan Yu said: "I still have something to deal with, and when I finish dealing with it, I will naturally go to you." ”

Ye Lingluo opened his mouth and wanted to say something more, but when the words came to his mouth, he swallowed again, hesitated for a moment, didn't say the last word, looked at him deeply and left without hesitation.

Shangguan Yu saw that she left in the direction she was pointing, so he turned around and walked in the opposite direction, as soon as he entered the forest, he saw two men in black not far from the entrance, one of them seemed to be in a hurry, always looking left and right, as if waiting for someone.

He walked in with his hands in his hands, and said as he went, "Is the matter done?"

Chi Zhan was stunned for a moment when he heard this, and then turned back excitedly, and said happily: "It's done, what about you, Peak Master?" I thought he would be difficult for you, if you don't come again, I want to bring someone to pick you up!"

Shangguan Yu waved his hand absently: "When did your peak master's plan go wrong?" I said that he would definitely agree, and he would definitely agree!" Although his mouth was casual, his expression was very serious, and a pair of eyes kept staring at the person lying on the ground, and his body immediately squatted down, reaching out to lift the cloak on his body.

No sooner had his hand touched him than the man on the ground shuddered violently, and his body fell back, as if he had been greatly frightened. Shangguan Yu's hands trembled almost imperceptibly, and there was a bit of loneliness in his eyes that he had never felt before, but this loneliness only lasted for a moment, and the next moment he returned to his flat expression, as if nothing had happened, and lifted the cloak on the person as if nothing had happened.

However, the moment the cloak was lifted, Shangguan Yu was slightly stunned. Hua Xie was disheveled, his clothes were curled up on the ground, his head was buried deep in the crook of his arm, and his whole body couldn't stop trembling. His body was full of bloody wounds, like a hook and whip stick, the flesh had been turned over and suppurated, and there was a lot of dust and mud, blood and mud were mixed together, stuck to the wounds, coagulated into dirt, almost all over the body, just looking at it made people feel sick and frightened. He could vaguely see that he was still wearing the groom's clothes, but the person in front of him still had the appearance of the groom's official yesterday, this was clearly a mourning dog who was more downtrodden than a beggar! In just one day, he was tortured like this!

Shangguan Yu stretched out his hand to grab him, but his arm froze in mid-air, and finally withdrew: "It's me who is late." ”

Hua Xie heard Shangguan Yu's voice, seemed to be comforted, his body gradually relaxed, looked up at him with a cower, and began to be a little incredulous, and then there was suddenly hope and joy in his eyes, and it didn't last long He seemed to remember the previous things again, and then immediately became resistant and hateful. Even though so many emotions poured out, quickly transformed, and made people dazzled, there was one emotion that was there from beginning to end, and it occupied the most of his expression, and that was fear. He didn't know if he was stimulated, he waved his hands wildly, and shouted over and over again: "Get out! Get out of here!"

Seeing his reaction, Shangguan Yu didn't know what to say to him or what to do, so he had to raise his hands and soothe: "Okay, I won't go over, I won't go over, don't be nervous." ”

Hua Xie saw that he was really no longer close to him, so he slowly calmed down, hugged himself tightly with his arms, and tears fell down like beads, but he always bit his hand to prevent the cry from coming out.

Shangguan Yu couldn't help but feel a little distressed when he looked at him like this, and said softly: "You are out now, it's okay, I'm here to save you." ”

Hua Xie was stunned when he heard this, looked at him with dull eyes, and said with a lost soul: "Save me?"

Shangguan Yu hurriedly said, "Yes, save you." ”

Who knew that Hua Xie suddenly burst into tears and laughed, laughing wantonly, laughing almost crazy, he laughed very happily, but the people who listened to him laugh only felt more and more desolate. Although the corners of his mouth were smiling, his eyes were full of hatred, such a contradictory and hideous face, looking at it in the night, even Shangguan Yu suddenly felt a little terrible. He smiled and laughed, and suddenly the corners of his mouth twitched, and his eyes were round and he said sharply: "The way you save me is to destroy me all over the house and kill my dearest? Then the way you save me is really chic! I'm afraid I can't afford it!"

Shangguan Yu's hand clenched tightly into a fist, and said in a deep voice: "Hua Jian is planning to betray the Ghost Domain, she knows the dangerous consequences of doing so, but she still insists on going her own way, I am acting on orders, and I have no choice." Even if it's not me this time, there will be someone else, and she won't survive!"

Hua Xie sneered when he heard this: "So you mean, you are just a weapon in someone else's hand, and you can't blame you for this matter?"

Shangguan Yu: "I ......"

Hua Xie: "What are you?

Shangguan Yu's right index finger and thumb rubbed slightly, his expression became more and more gloomy, and he lowered his eyes and did not speak.

Hua Xie sneered: "Why? can't say it? Then let me tell you why you can't say it." He suddenly straightened up, slammed towards Shangguan Yu, and looked at him closely, "Because you want to get out of the ghost domain, you don't want to be a tool for the ghost domain lord to kill, so you use this mission as a trade in exchange for your freedom, right?"

Shangguan Yu suddenly raised his eyes and said in a sharp tone: "You shouldn't know this." ”

Hua Xie smiled and said, "Yes, I really don't know. But you wouldn't have thought the Blood Shadow would tell me all this, would you?"

Shangguan Yu's eyes were gloomy: "I knew it was him." ”

Hua Xie: "What? Are you afraid that he will tell me? Sure enough, what he said is true!"

"Jueying, you keep saying that my sister is bent on rebellion and is to blame, but you yourself are not the same! Don't you also want to get out of the ghost realm? Don't you also have two hearts for the ghost realm? You and she are obviously the same, and you can exchange your own freedom for killing her, but when it is my sister's turn, she deserves it, and it deserves it! Is it so?!"

"Why is she the one who will die, is it because your cultivation is higher than her? Because you have a higher status than her? Because you are better in strategy than her? Because she is not strong enough in every way, she can only die! Is that what it means? I have a deep understanding of the truth of the law of the jungle today!"

He grabbed Shangguan Yu by the collar and stared at him with a pair of eyes: "In vain, I used to think that you were different from those beasts, and I still regarded you as the most trusted person, but you were actually just a hypocrite like them! I was so stupid that I really believed that there would be good people in a place like the Ghost Domain! If I had told my sister earlier that you had come, maybe my sister would not have died, it was I who killed her, I killed her!" As he spoke, he cried again, crying heartbreakingly, and wishing to crush himself to ashes:" I killed her! It's me, it's me, it's me!"

Shangguan Yu didn't know when he also fell, and in the face of what Hua Xie said, he really couldn't refute it, because what he said was indeed true. In a place like the Ghost Domain, hasn't it always been like this, although the law of the jungle is understandable, but such a system is really a bit cruel. But even if he knew, what could he do? It wasn't something he could change by will, he was just a helpless man struggling in this quagmire, no different from the Phantom and the others.

He was silent for a long time, and suddenly said gloomily: "I know I'm sorry for you, but whether you believe it or not, I really can't help it, and I don't want to be like this." I'm also a human being, and there are things I can't do. ”

"I'm not afraid to tell you that even if I go back in time and do it all over again, I'll do it anyway. Because of this, I can at least save you! It's better than letting someone else really "wipe out the whole house"! I also know that you won't accept my affection, and I have never had the luxury of making you understand me when I do this, after all, it was your sister who died, and you will definitely have hatred. ”

"If you have to find someone to hate, I hate you as long as you live, I don't care. ”

When Hua Xie heard this, he was even more angry than just now, and endless flames burned in his eyes, and the pain in this flame seemed to be more like being used to torture himself: "What are you doing this? Do you give charity? Mercy? Don't pretend to be! You don't know how disgusting your current high position is in my eyes! Don't think that this will discourage me from taking revenge, you better kill me today, otherwise, one day I will kill you!"

Shangguan Yu didn't seem to take these words to heart at all, and only thought that it was a hopeless promise he made in a moment of anger, and only said lightly: "Okay, I'm waiting for you to kill me." After saying that, he pushed his hand away, stood up indifferently, and turned his back to him.

Hua Xie hurriedly said: "You'd better think clearly! See you next time, you won't have a chance to regret it!"

Shangguan Yu said in a cold tone: "I never regret what I said, I am waiting for you." ”

At this time, there was a sudden sound of footsteps behind him, and Shangguan Yu turned around when he heard the sound, but saw that the person who came turned out to be Chi Zhan, who was guarding a few zhang away. Chi Zhan lowered his head and stepped forward quickly, and said in a low voice: "Peak Master, the time is almost up, the blood shadow will definitely come to chase him when he goes back and finds that he is gone, and if he doesn't leave, I'm afraid he will be discovered." ”

Shangguan Yu turned around and glanced at Hua Xie again, and said indifferently: "I can only send you here, and the road behind will depend on you alone." If you are caught again, it will be your life, and I will not fight again, and if you are not captured, cherish your life and live well. The two of us also broke off today, and since then we have nothing to do with each other, and it can be regarded as a break. Take care of yourself. ”

After he finished speaking, he took two steps, but suddenly stopped, pondered for a moment, and said in a deep voice: "Also, you used to live too comfortably, and you relied on your sister's protection for everything, so you will fall to the point where you don't even have the ability to resist and protect yourself today." If this can make you understand that you cannot always rely on the protection of others in the world, you have to be strong yourself, and you have to be strong enough to be stronger than everyone else in order not to be bullied, then this is also a good thing. In the future, there will be no one to protect you, and I hope you can truly understand this truth from today onwards. "That way, I'll be relieved.

He didn't say the rest of the words, perhaps because he didn't know what tone or position to say.

After Shangguan Yu finished speaking, he really didn't stay any longer, and left without looking back, leaving neatly and without hesitation. Hua Xie watched him swagger out of his sight like this, his fingers digging deep into the ground, and a sour feeling secretly surged in his heart. can't go back, really can't go back, just one day, the world has been turned upside down, he didn't even have time to react, he inexplicably carried a sea of blood and hatred, even the best friend who was still digging out his heart and lungs yesterday, is now a stranger. All this was like a dream, making him think that he would be fine when he woke up, but the piercing pain in his body cruelly reminded him that he had no escape. Now he finally understands that human affection is so cold, and there will never be an exception, because the exception he once believed in has taught him a hard lesson today! He forcibly endured the sourness in his heart and persuaded himself over and over again: There is no true love in this world, and I will never believe in any ridiculous feelings again, from today on, I only believe in myself! One day, I will definitely make him regret what he has done today!

Shangguan Yu and Chi Zhan walked side by side on the way back to the inn, they didn't say anything along the way, the atmosphere was a little dull, and they walked slowly for half an hour before returning to the inn, but when they arrived at the inn, they saw that half of the brothers left behind were missing.

Shangguan Yu blinked: "Where have all the people gone?"

When a subordinate heard this, he immediately stepped forward and said, "You asked us to wait for a little girl in the woods, but we didn't wait all night." We wondered if the girl had gone the wrong way or encountered some danger, and we were afraid that we would miss the order of the peak master, so we sent someone out to find it. ”

Shangguan Yu frowned: "You mean, that girl didn't go to you?"

"That's right. ”

He secretly lowered his eyes and thought about it, suddenly sighed, and shook his head: "This girl is really wild, you don't have to go to her, she can't be lost." ”

"Yes. ”

The subordinates only have this one thing to report, and now that the report is over, they have the sight to go out and guard it on their own, Chi Zhan poured a cup of tea and handed it to Shangguan Yu: "Peak Master, everything here has been dealt with, should we go back to Yanlan now?"

Shangguan Yu took a sip and said leisurely: "Yanlan is going back, but it's not us, it's me." ”

Chi Zhan's eyes widened: "Peak Lord, what do you mean by this? You want to go back alone?"

Shangguan Yu said: "You go to Wujiangling." ”

Chi Zhan thought for a moment and said, "Wujiangling, do you mean to let us go to the head of the Shangguan family?"

Shangguan Yu said: "Yes, in order to contain me, the Ghost Domain Commander put twenty killers there, although he has promised to withdraw them, but I still don't feel at ease." Dad is there to encircle and suppress the right protector of the Demon Dao, and he is already lacking in skills, and if he is plotted by those killers again, I am afraid that it will be dangerous. You go there to support my father and take care of those killers for him, as for Yanlan, now my mother is the only one guarding me, and I don't feel at ease, so I have to go back and see. ”

Chi Zhan said briskly: "Okay, I'll arrange it." After speaking, he was about to go out to dispatch manpower, but as soon as he walked to the door, he suddenly stopped: "No, the head of the Shangguan family doesn't know us, if he doesn't recognize us, but treats us as fine work, won't it be troublesome? ”

Shangguan Yu also felt justified when he heard this, nodded, and stretched out his hand to his waist to get a token for him, but when he reached his waist, he found that the belt was empty, and there was nothing.

Seeing that his expression was different, Chi Zhan asked, "What's wrong?"

Shangguan Yu said lightly: "It's nothing, it's just that the jade whistle on my waist is missing, so I should have lost it somewhere." ”

Chi Zhan seemed to have lost something, and said hurriedly: "You mean that Yuqing is lost? That is the clearest and hardest ice jade you dug out of the Xuanyu iceberg, unique in the world, you have never left your body, you like it is about to catch up with the Qiankun fan, and you lost it like this?"

Shangguan Yu was taken aback by him, and said angrily: "If you lose it, you will lose it, as for such a fuss? I love it, but if it is lost, what else can I do?

Chi Zhan took the token and opened it to see that the white jade token was engraved with the word Shangguan in flying white body, and the handwriting was dragon and phoenix dancing, so it was not chic. There are also carved nine-petal bamboo patterns around, the wind and bones are vigorous, lifelike, the jade quality is superior, and the tentacles are warm.

Shangguan Yu said: "This is my token, take this." ”

Chi Zhan pursed his lips, and retreated aggrievedly.

Within a stick of incense, Chi Zhan left with people, and Shangguan Yu had no worries here, so he was ready to set off for Yanlan. However, as he walked down the stairs, he suddenly heard a snort.

"Hey, it's you guys who are out of the thousands, or I'll lose so much?

"Boy, I think you just want to repay the debt! You don't go out to inquire, when will my Second Master Wu's territory be out of a thousand! If you want to go wild, you have to look at the place, if you can't pay the money today, don't think about standing up and going out!"

"You...... What do you want to do? Don't come here! I tell you, I'm not easy to mess with!"

"Heh, you're not easy to mess with, I'm easy to mess with when you're a grandfather?" After speaking, he raised his fist and wanted to smash it in the man's face.

"Save ...... Help!"

The fist wind fell on his face, and the man couldn't help but scream first, but after calling it, he found that he didn't seem to feel pain, and after waiting for a while, he still didn't feel it. He easily opened the hand covering his head, opened his eyes a slit, and squinted, only to see that the wrist of the big man was just a stone's throw away from him, and he was now being held tightly by a hand, which was accompanied by a beautiful silver bracer.

"Shangguan!

Shangguan Yu glanced at him helplessly: "Xiao Hanfeng, why did you come to this kind of place again?"
