"Senior brother, what can I do now?" In the prison of Red Maple City, a young and weak voice sounded.

In this cell, there are three people, although one of them looks like he has a little dust on his body, his tired eyes still shine with a clean and sharp light, he is the leader of the younger generation of the Drunken Flower Building, the genius who defeated almost all his peers in the Spirit Dao Conference - Jun Zilan and Lan Anqi. He stood with his hands in his hands, his fingers swaying subconsciously, quietly not knowing what he was thinking, and only then did he turn his head and look at it when he heard his junior brother speak.

An Yifei's voice was a little hoarse, because he had explained too much to the Cloud God Sect before, and after shouting for too long, his voice was already somewhat damaged. He was originally the most angular, stubborn and unyielding, but at this time his hair was messy, his eyes were gloomy, and he looked a little depressed.

Zi Xi on the side still had a thin purple veil on her face, her clear eyes were full of helplessness and sadness, and she bowed her head and said: "Although the Cloud God Sect put us under house arrest a few days ago, at least it still maintains a superficial politeness, which can be regarded as leaving a trace of leeway. He took us directly to prison early this morning, and I'm afraid he really didn't plan to let us go. ”

Hearing that the junior sister also spoke, Lan Anqi was silent, but still did not speak.

If the younger brother and sister want to get it, he Lan Anqi will naturally not think of it.

It's just that he doesn't know how to solve the current situation, and he can't say any white lies to comfort his younger brothers and sisters, so he is silent.

Half a month ago, the three of them came to Red Maple City thousands of miles away to find the whereabouts of Uncle Hua Ming. But the creation made people, and on the evening before the three of them arrived in Red Maple City, Uncle Hua Ming was chased and killed by the chief deacon of the Divine Court, and finally was forced to release his dead breath helplessly, fell into the demon path, killed the two chief deacons of the Divine Court, and then hid in the Midnight Forest, which provoked the wrath of the Divine Court.

On the same day, he met Tang Fengxin of the Cloud God Sect by chance, even if he heard Tang Fengxin's strong words and humiliation, Lan Anqi suppressed his anger, because he knew that he couldn't make trouble at this juncture, otherwise he would implicate the sect. He knew the severity, and immediately wrote a secret letter to report the matter to his master.

Then the divine court came and took the three of them away, and after questioning, it was confirmed that the three of them had no dead energy, and they had already cut off contact with Hua Ming, so they let the three of them leave.

Who knew that I heard about Tang Fengxin's death again!

Lan Anqi realized that something was wrong at the first time, and he originally planned to stay in Red Maple City to pay attention to Uncle Hua Ming's news, so he immediately decided to leave Red Maple City as soon as possible, so as not to be implicated and unable to get out of it.

Unexpectedly, just as they were about to leave, the people of the Cloud God Sect had already arrived in Red Maple City, and the first thing the people of the Cloud God Sect did was to intercept the three of them and put them under house arrest under the pretext of assisting in the investigation.

The Ninth Elder's attitude was extremely bad, and his words were pertinent everywhere, as if he recognized that Lan Anqi and the three were murderers, but he had no evidence, and he couldn't really do anything to the three of them. It's just that An Yifei couldn't help but argue with the Nine Elders, and finally scolded the old traitor, and then was slapped by the Nine Elders and spit out a mouthful of blood.

This palm is neither light nor heavy, and it won't hurt the origin, but it won't recover well in ten days and half a month. Lan Anqi couldn't be annoyed in his heart, but the Ninth Elder was in the Xuanji Lower Realm, and there were eight disciples of the Cloud God Sect of the Heavenly Transformation Realm by his side, so for the safety of his junior brothers and sisters, he had to make compromises and was willing to stay in Red Maple City and wait for the Cloud God Sect to find the real culprit.

He also wanted to hold the grievances of Uncle Hua Ming and accuse the Divine Court of misdeeds, and he also wanted to stare at the Ninth Elder with his chest puffed up and say: Why are you detaining my disciple of Drunken Flower Building?

Kolan Anki knows

Uncle Hua Ming angered the Divine Court, with his current strength, he couldn't do anything at all, if his attitude was too tough, he would only bury the lives of the three of them in vain.

So much so that when the Divine Court and the Cloud God Sect teamed up to invade the Midnight Forest seven days ago and asked the three of them to follow, Lan Anqi also agreed.

He really wanted to know how Uncle Hua Ming was doing now, and even if the Divine Court and the Cloud God Sect were going to besiege and kill Hua Ming, he would protect Uncle Hua at the cost of his life.

But what the Midnight Forest saw was beyond Lan Anqi's imagination.

It is not a dangerous place second only to the forbidden land in the rumor, the trees are extremely numerous, the branches are dense, even if it is autumn, the ground is covered with fallen leaves, but the branches and leaves above the head still cover the sky and the sun, and after entering the woods, there is almost no daylight. But this was not an obstacle for the cultivators, the two deacons of the Heavenly Transformation Middle Divine Court opened the way in front, the warden was ordered to sit in the center, and the group walked through the forest, slowing down for the sake of caution, and nothing could stop the group. Even if the giant tree was blocking the way, for the deacon of the Heavenly Transformation Realm, it was just a flick of his hand, as easy as pulling away a strand of hair.

There was nothing but trees along the way, and the leaves were dropped, but in two or three hours, the group came to the depths of the Midnight Forest.

Compared with the edge of the woods, the most obvious change is that the color of the tree poles is getting darker and darker, and the trunks of the trees in the center of the forest are extremely black, and even the branches and leaves are black, and there is no wind from time to time, revealing a dull and strange feeling.

Even the Divine Court Punishment Commander with an outstanding realm had an increasingly gloomy face, vigilantly releasing his mental power to cover the surroundings and catch any abnormal movements.

But the surroundings were quiet and terrible, and for some reason, those inexplicably swinging branches did not make a sound, even if a few people stepped on the fallen leaves, no sound came out.

It seems that this is no longer the southwesternmost forest of the Lingyuan Continent, but a ghost forest in the middle of hell.

The Nine Elders of the Cloud God Sect were upset in his heart, and suddenly he noticed that the lines on a big tree not far away were a little strange, and he looked closely, but found that the lines were faintly like a person's face. The Nine Elders became more and more annoyed, sneered, and directly waved his hand to cut off the tree that this person was hugging.

The big tree was cut off by the waist, and it was clear that the strength of the ninth elder was outstanding, and the tree should be as cross-sectional as a mirror when he went down with a knife, and it fell down smoothly. But as the tree snapped, there was a squeak, like the painful groans of an old man who was about to die.

The Punishment Division fixed his eyes on it, and saw that black liquid was gushing out of the broken mouth, like blood, and a black mist floated out of it, spreading out with a rotten stench.

The Punishment Division's eyes froze, he hurriedly raised his hand and waved, the invisible telekinesis turned into countless tiny blades, and under precise control, the tree was crushed into the size of dust from the roots to the tops, and the black mist with a pungent smell was also dispelled by him with a wave of his hand.

He turned his head to look at the Ninth Elder and said sharply, "The trees here have been infected by death qi for a hundred years, and they have long become ghost trees, and there is a lot of death qi hidden in them, so don't act at will." ”

"Yes." The Ninth Elder replied in a low voice, and then asked, "I've already reached the very center of the Midnight Forest, why haven't I seen the shadow of that demon girl?" ”

The warden frowned slightly, and said: "This forest is very weird, even my telekinesis can't spread too far, and even things twenty meters away can't be perceived clearly. ”

Hearing this, a disciple of the Cloud God Sect who was following behind the Nine Elders couldn't help but swallow his saliva, and the fear that faintly rose in his heart became even stronger, and he couldn't help but lean a little behind the Nine Elders.

His name is Zhang Fengji, and he is also among the best among the ten generations of disciples of the Cloud God Sect, and his strength has reached the Heavenly Transformation Middle Realm not long ago, and he also cultivates the Nian Technique, but the level of the Nian Technique is only in the Earth Transformation Upper Realm.

He has also been releasing his telekinesis to pay attention to the surroundings, but in the past, the telekinesis that could diffuse twenty meters to perceive the movement around him was like falling into a thick swamp here, and it couldn't spread out at all, the closer he got to the center of the Midnight Forest, the stronger the telekinesis was restricted, and now he could only explore the range of seven or eight meters around him, and even these seven or eight meters were not as accurate as before.

Even he vaguely felt that there was always something strange around him, as if there were several pairs of eyes hiding behind the surrounding trees and looking at him...

He thought that it was caused by his poor level of reading and being affected by the rich death qi in this forest, but he didn't expect that even the Xuanji cultivation of the punishment order would be so strongly restricted.

Naturally, the Punishment Officer was not as panicked as Zhang Fengji, he glanced around coldly, and said, "Be careful, that demon girl should be near here." And in addition to the enchantress, there are some things in this Midnight Forest that are not easy to provoke. ”

Lan Anqi and the three of them followed at the back of the team, and behind the three of them, there were two Cloud God Sect disciples watching them, and finally two deacons of the Divine Court were in charge of breaking the rear.

In such a terrifying environment, Zi Xi's face turned pale with fright, and he didn't care about the image and stretched out his little hand to grab Lan Anqi's sleeve, and he didn't dare to look around.

Even An Yifei's eyes showed a little fear, and his palms trembled a little.

Lan Anqi deliberately adjusted his breathing, and his heart was inevitably nervous. He looked at the dark trees around him, and he always felt that there was a faint sense of peeping, which made people uneasy.

"That's... That tree..."Lan Anqi heard the voice, saw Zhang Fengji pointing to the right back, his eyes showed horror, and he said in a trembling voice: "There is a face..."

"It's just a coincidence, don't care." The Ninth Elder said casually.

Lan Anqi frowned slightly, looked in the direction of Zhang Fengji's finger, and saw a stout tree, the lines on the dark bark, at a glance, it did look like a face, and it was a woman's face.

At first glance, Lan Anqi also thought it was just a coincidence, probably because the surrounding environment was too oppressive, and the light was too dim, so people thought of human faces when they saw the lines.

But after looking at it for a while, Lan Anqi's pupils couldn't help shrinking, and the more he saw it, the clearer it became, as if there was a human face growing on the trunk of the tree.

What made Lan Anqi feel even more chilly in an instant was that the human face seemed to smile at him, and the smile was very hideous.

"Division... Brother, that face... Isn't it... Moved? An Yifei couldn't take his eyes off either, and his face was bloodless in an instant.

Lan Anqi clenched his fists, steadied his mind with great perseverance, and looked away from that face. But as his eyes moved, his heart suddenly shrank, and he found that there was not only one tree, but also many trees around him.

Hideous, painful, roaring, crying...

Those trees seemed to have turned into countless ghosts, wanting to drag a few people into hell, and there were even faint wailing voices coming from all directions, making people's hairs stand on end.

"Don't be alarmed." The Punishment Commander spoke, his voice was not loud, but it was unusually deafening, and spread with a sense of firm majesty. Lan Anqi only felt that his tense nerves relaxed a little, and the fear in his heart also subsided a lot.

"It's just the countless souls who died here three hundred years ago." The Punishment Division shouted, "You still want to drive them to deal with me? ”
