Dongfang Ziyan wanted to open his eyes, but he couldn't, although his eyes were closed, he could feel the dazzling sunlight stimulating his eyes. After a long while, he opened his eyes with difficulty, and the first thing he saw was the sun in the sky, and his eyes were white, and he smelled the fragrance of grass mixed with earth, and he felt hungry except for the aches all over his body.

"Awake?" A young man with long white hair sat beside him, with a handsome face and an extraordinary bearing, dressed in a white light suit, carrying a long sword and sword box behind him, and was turning...... Skewers on the fire, "You don't wake up asking Wei'er, do you?" The boy said with a cold face.

"Why do you ask?" Dongfang Ziyan tilted his head and asked.

"Your saliva." The boy pointed to the corner of his mouth.

Dongfang Ziyan wiped it with his sleeve, a little embarrassed, he sobered up and sat up slowly, his body was very sore and painful, but he was used to it, he used to be beaten by a group of children in the alley and slept all night, and it was the same feeling when he woke up. Suddenly, he seemed to remember something, and the figure in his mind was crowded: a laugh repeatedly! Dongfang Xiao's surprise! The roar of the East! Deadly Attack! A short sword with incredible sharpness! Scattered blood flowers!! At this moment, Ziyan remembered that scene, and couldn't help but shudder. Ziyan touched his chest with a trembling hand, there was no imaginary pain, he looked down, only saw bloodstained clothes, except for abrasions, there were no sword wounds on his body, but in his memory, he was obviously stabbed in the heart by a sword!

"What's wrong with you? Is it an injury? The boy asked him.

"You saved me? Where is this? How did I not get hurt? Ziyan obviously hasn't recovered from that amazing scene yet.

The young man clapped his hands and slowly stood up, Dongfang Ziyan found himself on an island in the middle of a lake in a large forest, and the water vapor on the lake on the edge of the island lingered. "This is the Eschenim realm of the South County, and this forest is the Great Forest of Modibia, the northwestern tip of the Empire, and I found you by the lake yesterday evening, and brought you here to heal." The boy said, handing him a skewer of roasted deer legs.

"Oh thank you, but ......" Dongfang Ziyan looked at this young man of his own age, and had a lot of questions to ask. His heart was full of doubts, but he didn't know whether to tell this stranger how he had escaped from the hidden masters of the Senate. How did he heal his fatal wounds? Why did you suddenly go from the Dongyi realm to the Estanem realm, which is tens of thousands of miles away? Was it someone who came to the rescue or something else??

"Let's take care of the wound first, although it is not a fatal injury, but it is too dangerous in this dangerous forest." The teenager said.

"Okay, by the way, thank you for saving me, I don't know your name yet." Dongfang Ziyan said to him politely.

"Shangguan Yuanji." The young man had a pair of sea-blue eyes, and he was looking at him coldly at the moment.

"My name is Dongfang Ziyan!" Ziyan blurted out without even thinking about it.

After Shangguan Yuanji heard this, his godless eyes immediately became sharp as a needle, the corners of his mouth twitched, and his right hand quickly pulled out the long sword behind him! Ziyan's brain buzzed, he realized that he was sloppy, since he escaped from the hands of the Senate, the Senate must have been wanted in the whole country, maybe this young man is still a member of the Senate! No wonder he was so young and alone in this dangerous forest!!

Shangguan Yuanji rushed in front of him at an extremely fast speed, the cold sword was already across Ziyan's neck, Dongfang Ziyan's pupils suddenly narrowed, and cold sweat soaked his back. "Are you really Dongfang Ziyan, the second son of the head of the Dongfang family?!"

Dongfang Ziyan hesitated for a moment and nodded.

"If you have half a lie! I will teach you to separate your body and head! Shangguan Yuan said viciously, and the blade of the sword was also attached to Ziyan's neck.

Dongfang Ziyan gritted his teeth and let go, he said loudly: "My father is Dongfang Xiao, and my brother is Dongfang Lie, how can there be a fake?" Even if I hate my father, I can't change that fact. You saved me, my life is yours, you can take it whenever you want, if you want to hand me over to the Senate, I will not resist! She closed her eyes.

The sword flashed, and Shangguan Yuanji withdrew the sword and held it in his left hand, and slowly stood up. Dongfang Ziyan was puzzled, looked at Shangguan Yuanji, and saw Shangguan Yuanji touching the blade of the sword with his right hand, and said: "My 'Wind Cut' is an heirloom of my family, and I heard my father say that it is an alchemy boutique sword made by Dongfang Caesar, the old master of the Dongfang family, and my grandfather Shangguan Yingbu. He withdrew his sword from its scabbard and stretched out his right hand to Dongfang Ziyan, "Father Shangguan Feihu, you know who I am, right?" ”

The Shangguan family is the "inner four" with the same name as the three families of Dongfang Ximen and Nangong, since the last generation, the four major families have a close relationship with each other, and the two old family owners of the Dongfang family and the Shangguan family are even more friends. Shangguan Feihu, the current head of the Shangguan family, is known as the "Wind Demon God of War", and Dongfang Xiao is also a very righteous brother, and the two have an oath that after their last son is born, they will be brothers of the opposite sex.

"Shangguan Feihu? Uncle Shangguan, your surname is Shangguan...... Shangguan Yuanji ......" Dongfang Ziyan was pulled up by him and shouted: "You are from the Shangguan family?" Then you're not my ......"

"My father told me since I was a child that I had a brother of the opposite sex named Dongfang Ziyan in the distant Dongyi, but I had never met him. When you were unconscious, I saw that you looked similar to Uncle Dongfang, as expected! My brother. Shangguan Yuanji hugged Ziyan. In this scene, Dongfang Ziyan felt like he was dreaming, because for eleven years, he had been looking forward to the opposite sex brother that his brother said, he had no friends since he was a child, and finally met Shangguan Yuanji.

The south gate of Dongyi Ruolan Outer City

Dongfang Xiao stood at the head of the city, looking at the vast plain in the distance, the wind blew his forehead, and the fire burned in his sharp eyes.

"Big brother, the Senate has issued a notice and issued an expulsion order for Ziyan, what should we do?" It was Dongfang Xiao's second brother who spoke, Dongfang Yuan, the official of the Dongfang family, and Dongfang Yuan, the governor of Fengming Pass. Also standing on the side were Dongfang Yuan and Dongfang Lie.

Dongfang Xiao didn't respond, still looking into the distance.

Two days ago, Dongfang Ziyan was stabbed by the senate saints hidden in the guards, and both the Dongfang family and the senate didn't have time to do it again, and suddenly a terrifying storm struck, fast and powerful, and the inner city was suddenly full of flying sand and rocks, and the two holy servants who assassinated Ziyan were knocked away by the powerful wind, and Ziyan was taken away, leaving no clues and spiritual reactions. The patriarch was shocked by this, but he couldn't do anything to the family until he found evidence, so he had to go back to Chihong.

If Dongfang Xiao made a move at that time, he would naturally be sure to prevent Ziyan from being taken away, because according to the destructive power of the storm, the strength of the person who rescued Ziyan was very strong, and Dongfang Xiao could fight with him, but at that moment, Dongfang Xiao hesitated, and it was too late for him to react.

"Father, what are you thinking?" Dongfang Lie asked.

"I heard it, yesterday I have secretly spread the news to the major families, as soon as there is news of Ziyan, I will be secretly notified, I think the Senate should not dare to make any big moves in the near future." Dongfang Xiao said

Dongfang Yuan stood behind him and said, "Family Master, Lord Dongfang Yuan and I have already sent six people to find clues. ”

"Send more people, but don't let the news go." Dongfang Xiao said.

"Big brother, if only the alliance was still alive now, the 'sickle' would soon be able to find out." Dongfang Yuan said.

"Okay, it's man-made, you guys go down and arrange it first." Dongfang Xiao said to Dongfang Yuan and Dongfang Yuan.

"Yes." The two said in unison.

"Second uncle, Uncle Yuan go slowly!" Dongfang Lie sent the two away, turned to his father and said, "I'm also going to find Ziyan, please let my father allow me!" ”

"You can't go, Ziyan is now fully wanted in the country, your goal is too obvious, besides, you still have important things to do at the border, and after half a month, the Vulcan Army (an independent army of the Eastern Family, subordinate to the Imperial Tiger Army) will return to the border."

Dongfang Lie scolded and punched the city wall, "Damn the Senate, our Dongfang family has sold their names for so many years, but they make things difficult for us everywhere because of Ziyan's affairs, they are making me angry!" I don't understand, father, Emperor Xuan is incompetent, the Great Sage Master ignores the world, and the Senate implements hegemony under the dictatorship! Why should we follow their orders?! ”

"If you can't bear it, you will make a big plan," Dongfang Xiao said lightly, "The first Xuan Emperor and the first emperor were kind to our Dongfang family, and our Dongfang family will fight to the death to defend the Hongjun Empire and revive the human race." ”

After a period of earnest inducement, Dongfang Lie finally calmed down. Dongfang Xiao patted him on the shoulder, "I know that although you have been taught, you are unwilling, but you have to remember that you are my eldest son, and you will have to take on greater responsibilities than me. For the Senate, we will definitely have a day of resistance, but not now," he said, he looked into the distance again, "Regarding Ziyan, he is very calm and intelligent like your mother, he will be fine if he escapes, we must believe in his own strength." ”

"I think Flying Fox must think the same way." Dongfang Xiao looked into the distance, and the clouds in the sky were like his heart, floating far, far away.

Eschenem Domain, Modibia Forest

Dongfang Ziyan and Shangguan Yuanji were walking in the dense forest, they were not walking aimlessly, Shangguan Yuanji's purpose in coming to this forest was to go through the forest and go to the border to observe the neighboring enemy country of the Yaslan Empire in the northwest. Yuan Ji and Ziyan are the same age as Eleven years old, but Shangguan Yuan Ji has reached the fourth level of the Jade Void Void Level, and if ordinary people are concerned, it will take at least twenty years for the Void level to complete, and it is precisely because of this that Shangguan Yuan Illness is named "the first day of the Shangguan family".

Shangguan Yuanji took a small pocket from his belt, "Ziyan, do you know what this is?" ”

"Although I haven't seen it, I saw it in the autobiography of the alchemy machine master Shangguan Renming, this is an alchemy product, called 'Jinbi Liantian Bag', it is said that there is a space for spiritual power to open up into heaven and earth, hence the name." Dongfang Ziyan said as he walked.

Yuan Ji laughed, "I didn't expect you to know a lot, that's right, this is the masterpiece of our Shangguan family's ancestor Shangguan Renming, but it's an exaggeration, it's impossible to fit into heaven and earth, but the space inside is a bit about a hundred square meters." With that, Ziyan took out a sword from the bag and handed it to Ziyan, "Brother, I'm a month older than you, but your brother, haha, I didn't have any preparation for the first meeting, and I didn't take anything when I saw you, so this 'Huoqiu' should be used as a meeting gift." ”

"Fire? Could it be that the legend sealed the dragon's fire-attribute alchemy sword? Dongfang Ziyan was shocked, took the fiery sword, and tried the weight, it was not heavy.

"This forest is in danger at any time, so it's better to take precautions!" Shangguan Yuanji said, his expression immediately became alert, and he whispered, "There are people around here, be careful." After saying that, he found a towering tree according to his "mind", and after walking a few hundred meters, he jumped onto the treetops in three steps and two steps. The tree is very dense, and when you get up the tree, it is obvious that someone is talking. Shangguan Yuanji made a shushing gesture and walked to the other end of the treetops, his movements were extremely light, there was no sound at all, he gently brushed away the branches, and from the gap, she saw a terrifying picture!!

Not far from the tree, five tall men in white robes were standing together, all wearing terrifying masks, one of the five was striking a man on the ground with his fist, the face of the man on the ground was already bloody and fleshy, and the violent blow destroyed the ground under his feet, and the blood stained the fist of the white-robed man red, and the sound of the man's wail and the cracking of bones was heard.

Ziyan also stepped forward, he was stunned, although Shangguan Yuanji was very calm, he also broke out in a cold sweat. Ziyan was just about to speak, but Yuan Ji immediately covered his mouth. Is that...... The superior saint of the Senate!! Ziyan's eyes widened.

There are six senators at the top of the Senate, and they are the masterminds of the Senate, but in addition to the six senators, there are eight important roles in the upper echelons of the Senate, who are the highest combat power of the Senate, known as the head of the four families in strength, known as the "Eight Holy Servants", in charge of all the Holy Servant Legions. The eight holy servants have never shown their faces, and they rarely appear in public, and the only people who have contact with them are the patriarchs, they have no names, only code names named after the stars in the sky: Ziwei, Wenqu, Wuqu, Greedy Wolf, Broken Army, Jumen, Lu Cun, Lian Zhen, it is said that these eight people are wearing white robes and masks with strange pictures, it seems that this should be the superior saint of the Senate.

Dongfang Ziyan's heart was palpitating, it was easy for an ordinary saint to kill him, let alone the eight holy servants!! His body trembled, and Yuan Ji quickly grabbed him and stabilized his body, but because of this, the branches shook violently!

"Since you've been watching it for so long, let's come out and talk and make friends!" The greedy wolf under the tree said suddenly, and immediately looked at the big tree where Ziyan and Yuan Ji were hiding.

Cold sweat soaked Ziyan's clothes

This sucks
