After returning to the Ji family, Yi Xiaoyao got along with these Ji family children, feeling as warm as a group of family members.

Seeing that it was getting late, they dispersed and returned to their lodgings.

Yi Xiaoyao also went to Ji Jinzong's side to say hello, and found a cultivation room, planning to start retreat cultivation.

If he wants to win the first place in the battle for the Tiangang List, with his current cultivation, it is still too low, so he must hurry up his cultivation before the Tiangang List period arrives, and try his best to break through his cultivation.

Retreat can be as short as ten days and a half months, or as long as several years or even decades, and it is extremely taboo to be interrupted in a short period of time.

However, in the early morning of the second day of Yi Xiaoyao's retreat, someone came to interrupt his cultivation.

And it was none other than Ji Jinzong who interrupted him.

Thundered~

The heavy stone door of the cultivation room slowly opened, and Yi Xiaoyao walked out of it with doubts, and when he saw Ji Jinzong and a middle-aged man beside him, he suddenly felt a bad feeling.

Because Yi Xiaoyao had already greeted Ji Jinzong before, under normal circumstances, Ji Jinzong could not come over to disturb his cultivation.

Unless, something big happens.

Moreover, looking at Ji Jinzong's face at the moment, it can be seen that what he brought was not good news.

Also, the middle-aged man standing next to Ji Jinzong was a little impressed.

"Elder Mo? What are you doing here? ”

Yi Xiaoyao walked out from behind the stone gate, and recognized the middle-aged man at a glance, it was an elder of the Desolate Palace with a high status, Elder Mo.

Elder Mo's face was even more ugly than Ji Jinzong's, but when he saw Yi Xiaoyao, he was slightly relieved.

"Xiaoyao, although I don't want to disturb your cultivation, there is one thing that I think is necessary to tell you."

Ji Jinzong took a step forward first, said to Yi Xiaoyao with an apologetic face, then glanced at Elder Mo again, and then said to Yi Xiaoyao: "And this is also about your safety." ”

"What the hell is going on?"

Yi Xiaoyao frowned slightly and asked.

"Let me tell you."

Elder Mo spoke on behalf of Ji Jinzong: "Just last night, we found that the disciples who went out of the sect with you this time had all shattered their soul jade slips!" ”

As soon as the words fell, Yi Xiaoyao's complexion suddenly changed, and his lips turned slightly pale.

"What?!"

couldn't help but take two steps back, Yi Xiaoyao was dazed for a while, and asked again with confirmation: "Elder Mo, are you saying that Senior Brother Qingkong and their lives are in danger?" ”

Seeing that the other party didn't deny it, and the solemn look on his face didn't look like he was joking, he was still a little incredulous.

"How is that possible? Senior Brother Qingkong, haven't they already returned to the Barren Palace? ”

"And, with their strength, how many people can threaten them in this wilderness?"

"Could it be that there is something wrong with the soul jade Jane?"

Yi Xiaoyao said several doubts in a row, showing everywhere that he didn't believe in this matter, and more did not want to believe that it was true.

He extremely hoped that Elder Mo would agree with his thoughts, but Elder Mo's next answer suddenly made him feel like he had suffered a thunderbolt from the sky.

"After discovering that their soul jade slips were shattered last night, my Desolate Palace sent a large number of people to confirm it, just before, on the way back to the palace, we found Qingkong's corpses......"

Elder Mo said with a bitter face, "And I came here to be instructed by Elder Taishang, firstly to confirm your safety, and secondly, to prevent such a thing from happening again, and to protect your safety." ”

Hearing this, Yi Xiaoyao was stunned.

Qingkong and them, they are really dead......

Suddenly, the pictures of getting along with Qingkong and others before appeared in front of Yi Xiaoyao's eyes one by one.

"Senior Brother Yi, let's go back to the Barren Palace first, and then have a good drink when you come back!"

This was the last sentence that Qingkong and Yi Xiaoyao had ever said, and his voice was as gentle as his character, but now this sentence could no longer be realized, and it had come to naught.

There is also the cordial "Senior Brother Yi", the voice echoes in Yi Xiaoyao's heart at this moment.

These senior brothers, for Yi Xiaoyao, are also like his kind family, if you talk about it, the death of these family members is all because of Yi Xiaoyao.

Because if it weren't for accompanying Yi to go out of the sect to practice, they should have stayed in the Barren Palace at the moment, how could they encounter such an accident?

Thinking of this, he suddenly felt endless guilt in Yi Yaoyao's heart, and then turned into a nameless anger, wanting to vent and burst out.

"Who is it! Who the hell is it that killed the senior brother and them!? ”

At this moment, Yi Xiaoyao, his bloodshot eyes looked red, as if he had entered a magic barrier, and asked in a low voice.

If he could, he would slash his enemies and avenge his brothers!

"We're not sure about the people who have killed them, we're not sure ......"

Elder Mo let out a long sigh, and then said a little strangely, "However, we have found a lot of strange places from the corpses of Qingkong and other disciples. ”

Yi Xiaoyao didn't speak, staring at his blood-red eyes and wanting to continue listening to Elder Mo.

"The means of killing Qingkong and the others are extremely cruel, not fatal with one blow, it looks more like the murderer forced and threatened them to do something before killing them, and finally killed them brutally without success."

"Moreover, as you said, with the strength of Qingkong and other disciples, there are only a few people who can force them to kill like that, even if it is the entire Qinghuang."

"The most important thing is that when we found the bodies of Aozora and the others, we didn't find any traces of a fight, which shows that the process of their killing is a crushing game, and it is impossible for one or two people to be able to do this."

Saying this, Elder Mo's expression became a little solemn.

Yi Xiaoyao also became more and more shocked the more he listened, he seemed to be able to imagine that on the way back to the Barren Palace, Qingkong and the others encountered a group of extremely powerful enemies, who were easily subdued, and at the same time the enemy coerced them to do something, they swore to the death, provoked the anger of the enemy, and killed them with extremely cruel means......

Even, what the enemy coerced Qingkong and the others to do, Yi Xiaoyao could guess some of it.

"I think those people should coerce Senior Brother Qingkong and them to lure me out."

Yi Xiaoyao said in a cold voice: "If I guessed correctly, the main target of those people is actually me, and they didn't expect that I didn't go back to the Barren Palace with Senior Brother Qingkong and the others. ”

Then, Yi Xiaoyao suddenly looked at Elder Mo, and he felt that the other party seemed to have some key information unsaid.

"Elder Mo, besides that, don't you have any guesses about the identities of those murderers?"

Feeling Yi Xiaoyao's sharp gaze and this question, Elder Mo's body shook slightly.

"Yes!"

After pondering for a moment, Elder Mo spoke: "The people who kill Qingkong and other disciples, the methods used by each person are different, and judging from the spiritual power left on the corpse, those murderers should be strong people from different sect forces, and their strength is not even weaker than me!" ”

After Yi Xiaoyao heard such a conclusion again, his cheeks were agitated, but it was not too unexpected, because it did not contradict his conjecture.

"According to the words of the sect master, this time my Desolate Palace disciple was killed, it seems to be ...... It's the other major forces that are collectively venting their dissatisfaction with my barren palace! Elder Mo said heavily.

Yi Xiaoyao's pupils shrank slightly, and a thick cold air emanated from his body.

"Isn't it ...... to vent dissatisfaction?"

The killing intent in his voice made Elder Mo and Ji Jinzong in front of him change color slightly.

"Now that we know that this is the work of those big forces, then next, these big forces will also have to bear the dissatisfaction I vented!"

Heavy words came out, and Yi Xiaoyao's gaze shot straight into the distance, as if he could penetrate the void.

At this moment, he already had a firm revenge plan in his heart.
