Hundreds of thick pieces of wood piled together, burning a vicious fire from hell, crackling and exploding sparks and devouring everything around them. The firelight reflected the remnant sun, staining the entire dome with blood. The fire was not extinguished all night, and even the Yongding Bofu, which has the reputation of "the first garden in the world", could only let out a lament under the licking of the tongue of fire, and then fell apart. The gilded "Yongding Marquis Mansion" on the door of the mansion also fell to the ground due to the broken door post, just like the glory of the mansion behind it, and suddenly fell into the dust.

Ye Luwu melted the firelight through the mourning autumn pupils, sat behind a tree not far away, and quietly looked at the ruins in front of him, as if turning into a statue.

There is no Changguo Ye clan in the world, and there is no Yongding Marquis who is full of loyal martyrs.

The Ye clan is brave and good at fighting, and the world knows it. When the initial emperor raised troops in Qingzhou, the Ye clan followed with the strength of the whole clan and destroyed the three cities and leveled the world, all of which were the credit of the Ye family. From the beginning of the establishment of Changguo to the present, the surname Ye is a protective god in the hearts of the people. However, time has passed, and the first emperor more than 200 years ago was able to defend the country with the Ye family, but now the saint only wanted the life of the Ye family because of a funny request from the northern Zhou State.

The Emperor of Zhou has worked hard for decades, and has made Zhou's martial arts reach a peak, surpassing other small countries. In order to ensure that his country does not fall into the hands of others, the Emperor of Changguo has sent countless silver coins to the Zhou State in recent years, and even sent the two cities of Liang and Kai in the frontier as the dowry of the princess of Chaogui to the Zhou State and relatives. But in this way, the treasury is becoming more and more empty, and Zhou Guo sees this, and is no longer willing to entangle with it too much, and half a month ago, the army pressed the border, eyeing Changguo.

At this moment, the frightened emperor received a letter from the Zhou State, stating that as long as the Emperor of Changguo was willing to offer the head of the Ye clan, he would immediately withdraw his troops, and the two countries still lived in peace. Even a three-year-old child would not believe this, how much food does it take for the army to march out to guard the border, how can this move be just for the life of the Ye family?

But the emperor believed it.

After counting the finances of the Yongding Marquis Mansion, a holy decree was hurriedly sent out of the palace yesterday, and the heads of all the Ye clans were cut off in the mansion. Then their bodies were discarded in the house, and a fire burned down this life.

Ye Luwu looked at the home that had been turned into charcoal, and his heart was clear.

When she was seven years old, her parents sent her to Lanshan to learn Taoism, and they had a secret conversation with her before leaving: "My Ye clan should be flourishing, but now the saint is mediocre, and my father already feels that our family can't last long." You go to learn the Tao, the mountains are high and the road is far away, even if something happens to the Bofu, you will not be implicated, as long as you live, even if the Ye family is the last glory. ”

Green, Ye's branches are luxuriant, but green and barren.

At the age of seven, tears rained down her eyes, but her eyes were beyond her age, and her immature voice said word by word: "The child will go to learn the Tao, and he will never turn back." Although twelve years have passed, she still clearly remembers the feeling of her short body leaving Bofu step by step that year. Most of the cultivators have few desires, and the master also said that if she doesn't let go of this matter, it will be difficult to achieve positive results.

She thought that she had let go, and for twelve years she had been obsessed with Taoism, and they all said that she had a fairy fate and was extremely talented. She was also ready to devote herself to cultivation and not ask about the things of the world. But now looking at this devastation, the time before the age of seven suddenly jumped in front of her eyes from the deepest part of her heart, and the scenes of her childhood were like sharp blades, cutting her heart to the ground.

Ye Luwu sat behind the tree all day, until the twilight was four, and the sky was once again stained with blood-colored light, and then he got up and walked out of the city. The setting sun scattered on her body, holding her figure slender. She walked slowly and heavily in the blood-colored glow, and her figure seemed to overlap with that of the seven-year-old.

It's not that I don't want to turn back, it's just that my home is gone, how can I turn back? Carrying the hope of the Ye family, even if I step on the thorns, I have to live with vigor and go down my own path step by step.

The cultivators were already strong, and even after three days of travel, Ye Luwu was not too tired. The people of Lanmen are not allowed to go down the mountain easily without orders, just because the red dust will blind their minds and lose their original intention of cultivating. This time I was ordered to walk in the world, because there was a demon near Xuzhou, and more than 20 women have disappeared in the past six months, and I am afraid that all of them have already died.

At first, people thought it was a rebellion caused by bandits, so they reported it to the government. However, when the officers and soldiers came in groups, as soon as they entered the mountain, there was no news, as if the world had evaporated, and even the corpses were nowhere to be found. The magistrate was afraid in his heart, and said that there was a chaotic party, and if he did not get rid of it, he was afraid that it would threaten the stability of Xuzhou.

This report became a big case. The state government wanted to exterminate the rebellious party and reassure the people, so it allowed the surrounding people to wait at the foot of the mountain, only waiting for 300 officers and soldiers to escort the thieves out, which won the hearts of the people and won the political achievements.

However, it had only been two hours since the officers and men entered the mountain, and they heard a deafening roar from the mountain, which was unheard of, and even the most knowledgeable old man did not know what it was.

Then, a purple demonic power soared into the sky, and the rich seemed to have condensed into substance, rippling in a circle in the distance. Under this pressure, the power of mortals is so insignificant, as soon as that thing is powerful, weak mortals can only wait for the form and god to be destroyed. The legs of the crowd, who had never seen such a formation, trembled, and the less timid could no longer support it, and fell limply to the ground.

After that, the demon force carried the corpses of the three hundred people from the mountain and fell at the foot of the mountain.

A brave man stepped forward to check, but sat on the ground. The corpses of those officers and soldiers were all mutilated and shattered into pieces.

The disgusting smell of blood wafted through the air, lingering for a long time. The scene was so terrifying that everyone couldn't even make a sound, and tears gushed down from their round eyes.

This matter could no longer be solved by manpower, and the state government lost 300 officers and soldiers, which had aroused the dissatisfaction of the people, and they did not dare to be arrogant anymore, so they sent people to Arashiyama on the spot to ask for help.

That's why Leaf Green Turnip came.

When she reached the foot of the mountain, she found that the situation was worse than she had imagined. Although the bodies of the three hundred men had been reduced to ashes, there were still a few clusters of fire burning, glowing faintly blue. This is by no means the soul fire of human beings, Ye Luwu thought, if the soul fire of human beings is ignited, then the three souls and seven spirits will all be dispersed, and there is no possibility of an afterlife. According to the book, the light of the fire should also be blue, but the souls of these three hundred people could never have burned for so long, could it be that the flame itself has not been dispersed for a long time?

If so, only a merman can do it. The merman's grease can be used as a lantern for ten thousand years, but there is no such thing as lighting himself, so is this demon pretending to be a merman? Or is this demon powerful enough to hunt and kill mermen. The merman is born with demon power among the demons, can understand human language, half-body human form, and is considered to be the strongest in the middle. If even sharks can hunt and kill at will, then what is this demon......

Ye Luwu's brows furrowed, he always felt that this matter was not an ordinary monster disorder, so he should meet with the first person before making plans. She looked around, picked up her bag, and headed for a golden light that rushed out of the dense forest to the northwest.

On the stronghold of the Lanmen, there are totems composed of golden light, to warn the demons and evil spirits in the world not to approach. It is said that the golden light is a wisp of divine consciousness left by the ancestor who ascended thousands of years ago, and although the divine consciousness in it has been minimal, this totem has become the belief of Lanmen, and even every disciple who worships Lanmen, after worshipping the ancestor master, this totem will appear on the right wrist.

Ye Luwu glanced up at the totem, and his heart was full of thoughts. Her hand was still on the side of the door and she didn't move, but she felt a sudden force coming from inside the door, and in her stunned effort, the door was pushed open from the inside. Years of combat experience have made her body precede thought and action, flying backwards the moment the door opens.

If she hadn't been stunned, she would never have been frightened by the people inside the door.

The man was also shocked, and he didn't expect anyone to stand at the door in a daze, so he stopped. "Wen Yu, when did you become like Tan Hai, reckless. Ye Luwu raised his eyebrows and said, "Could it be that you have been together for a long time, and you are becoming more and more similar?"

A smile quickly appeared on Wen Yu's face, "Xiao Wu has been delayed for three days before coming, and I will punish you after today." Now follow me into the mountain, Tan Bo has lost contact with us for three hours, Tan Hai is afraid that something will happen to them, so let me rush to take a look. As he spoke, he walked quickly past the leaf greenery. Hearing the sound of her lifting her heels, as if she remembered something, she turned around and said, "Xiaowu came here at night, and it took too much physical strength, so let's go and rest first." ”

Ye Luwu shook his head: "Tan Bo is the most loyal and honest, if there are no special circumstances, he will never let Tan Hai worry." I'm still going with you, besides, I'm a disciple of Elder Shangguan, and there is no one here who can compare to me. ”

Speaking of being a personal disciple, Ye Luwu's eyes flashed with pride, and the whole person was radiant. Wen Yu's heart moved, and he responded: "That's right, Xiaowu is indeed very incomparable." After that, as soon as his left hand turned over, a white hosta appeared in his palm, "This is left by the senior brother before leaving, because you set off early, so I asked me to hand it over to you." ”

The tentacles are slightly cool, it is a rare piece of good jade, and if you look closely, there is a trace of moon-like brilliance circulating in the hosta, which is the spiritual power of heavy light hovering in it. Still thinking about when this was, Ye Luwu's hands were empty, and when he looked up, he saw Wen Yu's enlarged face. She was slightly distracted, the person in front of her had been with her for four years, and she was still a young boy in her memory, when did she become such a handsome man?

Wen Yu gently inserted the hosta into her black hair for Ye Luwu, took a few steps back and nodded, and said with satisfaction: "This is very good, no one will suspect the ornaments of this daughter's family." With that, he took out a magic talisman from his bosom, urged it with soul magic, took Ye Luwu's hand, and hurried towards the mountain.

The soft touch of his hand distracted him slightly. Glancing at it with his peripheral vision, he crashed into Ye Luwu's spring-like eyes. He turned back unnaturally, and the strength in his hand was a little heavier. Such clear eyes took away his mind from the first time he saw it, and he was willing to drown in it from then on.

About half an hour later, the two of them had arrived at the place where Tan Bo and they had entered the mountain.

Ye Luwu turned his head to look at Wen Yu, the two of them met their eyes, and they understood each other's thoughts in just a moment - be careful.

The two of them followed the trail of Tan Bo and his party and walked inside, and the scenery in the mountain was completely different from that at the foot of the mountain. The deeper you go, the more lush and tall the plants become. By the time he reached the halfway point of the mountain, even the vine man had already covered the sky, not to mention the already tall and stout trees.

This mountain was originally the tomb of a large family in the previous dynasty, but after the change of dynasties, the people who moved here were forced to plant fruit trees on the mountain to make a living. Left, only a few decades later, the trees here are as thick as hundreds of years, obviously under the influence of that demon.

That demonic power can already affect the living beings around him? With such power, Tan Bo is only afraid of more evil and less auspicious.

The two of them glanced at each other, did not dare to delay for a moment, and flew deeper away.

At this time, Tan Bo was trapped in a tree. His body was tightly entangled by the invulnerable and invulnerable vineman, and his legs were already deeply sunk into the branches behind him, and he could even feel his soul power slowly sinking into his legs.

He turned his head with difficulty, and the twelve men who were with him were also hung from the branches, half of them already unconscious. Rao is that they have tried their best to suppress the soul power around the heart, but the power of the demon tree is too great, even if it is like this, it can still extract the soul power out of the body. Tan Boxiu was the highest among them, but it was difficult to hold on to it under the absorption of soul power for nearly three hours. If there is no support, I am afraid that all of them will be scattered, and their cultivation will be scattered and die, and they will eventually become part of this demon tree.

Now, if you use a magic weapon to send a distress signal, the loss of soul power will be even more serious, but I am afraid that it will be even more difficult to support the reinforcements. Tan Bo closed his eyes bitterly, this time the head of the sect underestimated the strength of the demon demon, he thought that it was just an ordinary beast cultivating here, but he didn't want such a powerful demon tree to hide here. Such a powerful demonic aura was all hidden, but it was not discovered at all. If the personal disciples of the various elders were trapped here, there might be hope of escaping. But Ye Luwu, the only personal disciple, learned that his family had changed, and he went the other way with them, and now he doesn't know if he has arrived. If this continues, after the demon tree swallows the soul power of the twelve of them, the elder brother and the other twelve people in the village will also die here.

I'm so unwilling, I really want to live......

"How is it?" Ye Luwu frowned slightly, "This demon tree has taken all the essences of plants and trees within a radius of ten miles as its own, Tan Bo and they are only afraid that they will be trapped, and they can't determine their location anymore, I'm afraid ......" The latter words were not spoken, but the meaning was already very clear.

Wen Yu covered his palm on the ground, and circles of white brilliance rippled out from his palm, and the soul power in his body gradually spread around with the help of the subtle air in the soil. "Ten miles to the northeast, where the main trunk of the demon tree is. As if sensing something again, his eyes widened, and he turned his head woodenly, "Tan Bo's soul power is very weak, and most of them have been captured by the demon tree. ”

Ye Luwu immediately pinched the magic talisman, pulled up Wen Yu's sleeve and went straight to the northeast.

Wen Yu's soul power is wind, as long as there is air, he can penetrate his soul power into it and probe everything. If there is a steady stream of soul power blessings, the people of the wind genus can even explore endlessly. Because the effect is too outstanding, there are very few people who belong to the wind in the Lanmen, and among the disciples of the younger generation, only Wen Yu's soul power belongs to the wind.

Wind is the most powerful guardian force, and when it reaches the main trunk, Wen Yu pinched the seal with his left hand, and the milky white soul power surrounded the two of them. Although this brilliance is extremely weak, the two of them have been practicing Taoism for a long time, and with this faint brilliance, they can also see the situation ahead.

Tan Bo's waist had also been integrated with the demon tree, and the upper bodies of the twelve people seemed to have grown from the tree, and the vines on their bodies were tightly entangled, and their bloodless faces glowed like dead ashes in this faint light.

Ye Luwu was horrified in his heart, and his right hand immediately stretched forward, and the red flames rose from his palm, snaking forward, turning into the shape of a scimitar. Her legs sank slightly, and then she jumped forward like a cheetah, and the vine man that grew out of thin air on the ground did not affect her speed in the slightest, and the ghostly figure came to Tan Bo in an instant.

Her movements were fast, and Wen Yu's gaze was tightly glued to her, and she didn't dare to be distracted for a moment. I saw Ye Luwu's right leg bent slightly, and at the moment when she was about to jump, Wen Yu immediately pinched the seal with her right hand and sent out a soul power to fly to her feet.

With this force, Ye Luwu jumped high, crossed the vine man on the periphery of the main trunk, and slashed down with his right hand. At the same time, the surrounding wind soul power covered the flames, and the wind helped the fire, instantly illuminating this dense forest that did not see the light of day.
