The venue was quiet, only the breeze blew the leaves, and everyone held their breath and watched Hua Ming treat Su Zhengxing.

Jiang Ling thought silently in his heart, there were still 10 minutes before the battlefield was over, if Hua Ming couldn't cure Su Zhengxing, Jiang Ling could only say goodbye to Lan Anqi.

"I want to order something good." Jiang Ling thought with some resentment in his heart: "But it's already so miserable, I'm embarrassed to talk about the reward." This game was fought so hard, and Satomi Sakura had to die once, and she couldn't win again. Jiang Ling couldn't help but sigh.

Because everyone lowered their breath and waited quietly, Jiang Ling's sigh was a little abrupt, and Jiang Ling realized it later, and couldn't help covering his mouth in embarrassment.

Lan Anqi glanced at him, reluctantly raised a smile, and asked, "What's wrong?" ”

Jiang Ling scratched his head embarrassedly and said, "I have something to say." ”

"Do you need to talk to my uncle?" Lan Anqi asked with concern, "Is there anything urgent?" ”

Jiang Ling nodded, intending to say goodbye to Lan Anqi, but at this time, Hua Ming also stood up.

Several people immediately looked over and nervously moved closer, Hua Ming turned her head to look at everyone, raised her hand to wipe the sweat on her forehead, and said: "The effect of the Netherstone is better than I imagined, although the death qi has not been cleared, it has successfully suppressed its spread." ”

At this time, Su Zhengxing also sat up slowly, he also looked down at his chest, the black circular mark was still there, but the black dead air did not continue to spread.

Hua Ming comforted: "The traces of death are still there, I'm afraid there will be a possibility of an outbreak, but it seems that there is no need to worry for a while." ”

But Su Zhengxing didn't have the joy of the rest of his life, he looked at Hua Ming with trembling eyes, and he wanted to stop talking.

Yao Baifeng also covered her mouth, already teary-eyed.

Lan Anqi clenched his fists and asked in a trembling voice, "But.... Uncle Shi, your hand..."

Hearing this, Hua Ming glanced down at the left arm holding the Netherstone Stone, the originally white jade arm, the front end was already pitch black at this time, as if it had been immersed in ink.

Hua Ming's face was pale, she shook her head weakly, and said, "It's okay, you can control it for the time being." ”

Although Hua Ming's words were relaxed, the key to Lan Anqi's words was that it was only 'temporarily' controllable. Lan Anqi hurriedly said, "Then let's go back to the sect and find a way to solve it." ”

Hua Ming was silent for a moment when she heard this, and then shook her head with a wry smile: "I know better than you whether the sect has a way to clear such dead qi. ”

"That..." Lan Anqi was a little stunned, and suddenly had a bad premonition, and asked in disbelief: "What do you mean, uncle." ”

"I won't go back to the sect yet." Hua Ming looked at Lan Anqi and Yao Baifeng and said, "You go back first." ”

Yao Baifeng's eyes were also stunned when he heard this, and he said anxiously: "Although it is difficult to heal if you are corroded by death qi, where can you go if you don't return to the sect?" When this hidden dead air erupts, I'm afraid your life will be in danger! ”

"It's because of this that I can't go back to the sect." Hua Ming looked at her arm and said gloomily: "The death qi that the ghost heart fought before dying is extremely pure, and I used the Nether Stone to extradite this death qi, causing it to infect my own arm. The corrosive power of this Netherworld Death Qi is too strong, far from being comparable to the residual death qi on Ji Fengyuan's body. Even if I return to the sect, it will be difficult to solve it, and one day I can't suppress it, if it breaks out, not only will I be completely eroded, but it will also affect the people in the sect. ”

Hearing this, the disciples of the Drunken Flower Building were extremely anxious, and several women were about to cry for a while.

Lan Anqi's shoulders trembled and asked, "Then where are you going, uncle?" ”

Hua Ming glanced down at Su Zhengxing and said with a smile: "Go and find a place where you can solve the Netherworld Death Qi." ”

Lan Anqi asked, "Where can we solve the Netherworld Death Qi?" ”

Hua Ming shook her head: "I don't know. ”

At this moment, Cha Yu also approached, coughed lightly, and then continued to walk forward a few steps, saluted towards Hua Ming with one hand on his chest, and said, "Excuse me, here is the Qiankun bag found from Ouyang Chengyi's body, and the light flower fairy has a look." ”

Hua Ming saw that Cha Yu took the initiative to send the Qiankun bag, and she was also grateful, and hugged her fists and said: "Thank you for the trust of the tea seniors, the things in this Qiankun bag can be divided equally between the Iron Blood Castle and the Drunken Flower Building." ”

Cha Yu shook his head and said: "Before, the Iron Blood Castle was greedy and offended, looking at Fairy Haihan, everything in this Qiankun bag is determined by the fairy." ”

Hearing that Cha Yu, who was originally mercenary and had been in a-for-tat confrontation with Zuihualou before, said this, everyone was a little surprised for a while. And Fu Yibiao, the young castle master of the Iron Blood Castle, stood aside, bowing his head and saying nothing, it seemed that what happened today touched him a lot.

Hua Ming nodded, glanced at Cha Yu's bloody broken arm, sighed lightly, and said sincerely: "We have gone through this great tribulation together, it is not easy to survive, since Elder Cha has this remorse, then the past is written off, and I hope that Iron Blood Castle and Drunken Flower Building can coexist peacefully." ”

"That's nature." Cha Yu bowed down again to thank him.

When Cha Yu stood up straight, he glanced at Hua Ming's arm, and said, "If I have one more mouth, this netherworld death qi is extremely difficult to completely remove, so I don't hesitate to cut off my arm." But the dead air in the flower fairy's hand didn't spread for some reason, although I don't know if this situation is good or bad, but at least there is time to find a way to deal with it. I wonder what the fairy has planned? ”

Hua Ming hesitated for a moment, and finally said frankly: "Although it looks like I'm just infected with death qi in this arm, in fact, I can feel that death qi has sneaked into my spiritual network, and even if I cut off my arm at this time, it won't help. At this point, several people around were shocked again, but they didn't expect Hua Ming's situation to be worse than it seemed, no wonder she didn't plan to return to the sect. Hua Ming continued: "Besides, the death qi on Su Zhengxing's body is not something that can be eliminated by conventional methods. As for the plan, I don't know, let's go incognito and ask around, if there is hope, try to fight for it, if there is no hope..."

Hua Ming stopped talking at this point, but halfway through what she said, there was a hint of despair, which made everyone sad.

Cha Yu shook his head lightly and said, "I remembered an ancient book I read many years ago, which mentioned the origin of this Netherworld Stone. ”

Hearing this, Hua Ming's eyes lit up slightly, and said, "Please ask the seniors for guidance." ”

Cha Yu continued: "Regarding this Netherworld Stone, one theory is that it comes from the Land of Extreme Yin, and it is a spirit stone that has absorbed the qi of Yin Death for thousands of years. And there's a more detailed way of saying that it came from a place. Since it was a long time ago since I read this book, I just thought that that place was the Forbidden Dry Bone Ridge, but I thought about it carefully, and remembered that the book over there said that it was recorded that the Nether Stone came from the Midnight Forest. ”

"Midnight Forest?!" Hearing this place, Lan Anqi and Yao Baifeng's faces changed suddenly, and even Hua Ming's eyes flashed.

Cha Yu had already expected everyone's expressions, and bowed his head and said: "The old man only told the fairy what he knew, and the fairy was left to decide for himself." ”

Jiang Ling heard that this Midnight Forest should not be a good place, whether it was from the name or from the expressions on everyone's faces when they heard this name, he couldn't help but ask Lan Anqi curiously, "Where is the Midnight Forest?" ”

Lan Anqi glanced at Jiang Ling, a little surprised that he hadn't heard of this place, but he still patiently explained: "Located in the southwest of the Lingyuan Continent, it is said to be a forest shrouded in shadows, where the trees have a strange appearance, dense branches and leaves, and there is no sunlight in the forest all year round, and it is dark. You can't enter under the Xuanji, and once you enter, you can't get out alive. It is one of the most dangerous places on the Lingyuan Continent, and its degree of fear is second only to the six forbidden places. ”

Only then did Jiang Ling understand the meaning of this Midnight Forest, and also understood why Cha Yu said that Hua Ming should decide for himself. After all, the clues given point to such a dangerous place, and there is indeed a suspicion of uneasiness and kindness.

But judging from Cha Yu's performance, it seems that there is no need for him to do anything to harm Hua Ming.

Hua Ming also understood this, and hugged her fists to thank her.

At this time, Jiang Ling knew that he had little time and couldn't delay, so he hurriedly looked at Hua Ming.

Without waiting for Jiang Ling to speak, Hua Ming also turned her head to look at him, and said softly: "Junior Brother Jiang, this time your brother and sister have contributed a lot... Sister Sakura..."Hua Ming sighed softly, and said in a sad tone: "Sister Sakura's death, please mourn and change." Originally, your brother and sister came here to experience, and they should have come for Infinite Blue, but they encountered such an unforeseen thing with us. At the moment of the catastrophe, the appearance of your brother and sister fighting desperately is in everyone's eyes, the dead are gone, and the living are like this. I will choose a few treasures to show my gratitude, and if Brother Jiang has any other needs, I will try my best to meet you. ”

Here, Cha Yu also turned to look at Jiang Ling and said, "This little brother has also helped me a lot, and I, Cha Yu, am also willing to give my little brother something to thank me, and please don't dislike it." ”

Here, Hua Ming opened the Qiankun bag that she had taken from Ouyang Chengyi's body and glanced at the contents inside, even she couldn't help but be a little surprised by Ouyang Chengyi's abundance of hidden treasures.

This old thief has been stealing for more than 30 years, and sure enough, there are many treasures hidden in it, such as the palace's heavy treasure Liuxin Bead, as well as the [Demon Hidden Dart] that can be thrown after blessing spiritual power, and the treasure [Fire Mirror] of a second-rate sect and so on.

After a while, Jiang Ling received three things, namely [Spirit Anthurium], [Iron Sand Qing], and [Ring of Flowing Thoughts].

At this time, Hua Ming opened her mouth again and invited Jiang Ling to join the Drunken Flower Building.

There was not much time left, Jiang Ling thought about it, hugged his fist at Hua Ming and said, "There is one thing I still want to tell you, it is about my identity." ”

Hua Ming looked at Jiang Ling unexpectedly, she was naturally full of curiosity about this pair of brothers and sisters of unknown origin, and seeing that Jiang Ling was willing to take the initiative to mention it, she nodded and asked, "Are you finally going to confess?" Say, where did you come from? You have to know how many young talents want to join our Zuihualou, why don't you want to join my Zuihualou. ”

Jiang Ling said: "Because I am a Skywalker." ”

"Huh?!" Hua Ming was stunned when she heard this, thinking that she had misheard, and then said, "Junior Brother Jiang is serious?" ”

Jiang Ling nodded, and said sincerely: "Satomi Sakura and I are both Skywalkers, Satomi Sakura is not really dead, and I am about to leave this world, if there is fate, I hope to see you again." ”

Hua Ming stared at Jiang Ling for a long time, as if she felt angry and funny, and suddenly she raised her hand and wanted to pinch Jiang Ling's cheek, but Jiang Ling's figure disappeared in front of her eyes in an instant.

Hua Ming's hand stopped in mid-air, and she was stunned for a moment before she slowly put down her hand and muttered, "See you soon." After a moment, she silently added in her heart: "If I were still alive then." ”

......

A month later, a carriage drove out of Red Maple City, southwest of Hidden Wind Town.

The horses pulling the carriage looked pretty good, covered in snow white and with bright manes, but the carriage was shabby, made of ordinary wooden planks, and a red curtain hung at the window to block the view of the outside world.

The driver of the horses was a young man with a smile on his lips, hanging a small piece of grass and humming a little song in his mouth.

After a while, the curtain of the carriage opened, revealing a beautiful face that captivated the country and the city, and the woman glanced at the fields on both sides of the road, yawned lightly, and then looked at the man's back, and scolded with a smile: "What the hell are you humming?" ”

"A little song from my hometown." The young coachman looked back at her, smirked, and said, "You want to hear me sing to you." ”

"Who said they wanted to hear it?" The woman rolled her eyes charmingly, but did not stop it.

The coachman sang loudly the song of his hometown, which was not good, but it also had a bit of heroic taste.

The woman squinted at a pair of beautiful eyes pleasantly, as if she was fascinated and lovely, and then she took out a wine gourd and poured it very disregardingly.

The woman suddenly reminded with a smile: "Shaoxia, don't sing, this is in the suburbs, there are many mountain bandits, in case it attracts bad people, young lady, my yellow flower girl, but my jade body is not safe." ”

"Miss, don't worry." The coachman patted the iron sword hanging from his waist, and said proudly: "There is a young man here, and the young lady is well protected all the way." ”

The woman leaned on the car window, looking at the man's back that was not burly or majestic, but she had an incomparable sense of security.

Her smile is like a flower, and her fragrance is like tea.

With this sword young man, he went all the way to the southwest.
