"Of course you don't understand. He suddenly turned around and smiled softly, "And there is no need to understand. You just need to understand that as long as I am a holy envoy for one day, the pace of the Nine Shadows will be slowed down by a day. ”

"You ......" There seemed to be a hint of anger in the shadow skeleton's eyes, but it was only fleeting, and it quickly calmed down.

"I shouldn't have asked about the matter between you and the shadow master. He turned around, not interested in standing here with Xi Zishi again.

Xi Zishi looked back at him, but he was silent and didn't say a word.

The shadow skeleton's back was getting farther and farther away from him. Until the moment he stepped through the city gate, the shadow skeleton suddenly stopped, and finally said to him lightly, "But I will always be loyal to the shadow lord." If necessary, you and I may have a day of fighting. ”

Xi Zishi still didn't speak. After the shadow skeleton finished saying this, he left without looking back, leaving only the night and the endless yellow sand, and the figure of the brook purple stone still standing.

“...... Are you loyal to the Shadow Lord......"

Looking in the direction of the city gate, the shadow remains have long since disappeared.

Everything was blended with the darkness of the night, and his vision became less and less clear.

After a long silence, he muttered alone, "...... If there really is a day when I am fighting against each other, perhaps, it shouldn't be you. ”

............

The venue of the Golden Halberd Fengjian was also shrouded in a gloomy night.

After a full day of sect duels, the two groups of sects have successfully advanced. In the morning, the dragon halberd played against the Narue halberd, and finally ended with the dragon halberd winning a big victory, and in the afternoon, the phoenix halberd played against the beggar cloth halberd, although the phoenix halberd was defeated for a while, but it was still able to advance.

There is still tomorrow's Flower Ghost Halberd against Zhenshan Halberd, and the first round of the competition is over. The hearty duel of the day made all factions spend a lot of effort, and they all returned to the sect to recuperate and prepare for tomorrow's competition.

At this time, Feng Ji, Qingyan and others congratulated each other. This narrow victory was also thanks to the medicine given by the devil before. The second round of jousting followed, and they couldn't afford to take it lightly.

Seeing off everyone at the banquet, Qingyan and a few henchmen slowly walked out of the door.

In addition to the important task of the competition, they also have another important task in mind.

Since the previous letter was five days later, it shouldn't be too rushed. However, as far as this time is concerned, Qingyan and others have always had doubts.

Qing Yan called out everyone, and also wanted to continue to discuss this issue with them.

Although I saw the devil party in the sightseeing pavilion that day, there were many people and I couldn't find a suitable opportunity to ask. Moreover, it was written in the letter of the devil that five days later, he was in such a hurry to ask, but he seemed to be unwise, as if he was very incompetent.

"Master, I thought about it, five days after the letter was said at that time, it was just when the Golden Halberd Fengjian was about to end, it seems that the devil should also have his deep meaning in this agreement. ”

Walking to the periphery of the Phoenix Halberd Sect, a henchman leaning on Qing Yan's side whispered.

Qingyan glanced at him and nodded slightly, but he didn't pay much attention to it.

The reason why they are so entangled in this time after five days is also because, according to the previous preparations, it should not be such a late time. For example, the effectiveness of the last batch of Lichou Dan will end the day after tomorrow, and if it is only launched on the fourth day of the Golden Halberd Fengjian, it will add a lot of trouble, and so on.

What's more, the purpose of this operation is to exterminate the seven factions and other forces in one fell swoop, which is so huge. If you act on the last day, it would be a pity if the three sects and others have already left and let the birds return to the forest.

Qing Yan thought about it two days ago, and never understood the truth. But it was an order, and he had to obey it.

The other henchmen also talked about their opinions at this time, but none of them could be established, or Qing Yan had already thought of it. After listening for a while, he felt that his ears were very noisy, and his brows twisted together in dissatisfaction.

"Enough. With a sudden wave of his hand, he stopped them from talking.

Seeing that he was unhappy, the henchmen hurriedly covered their mouths, and all the situations were like frightened birds, which were a little funny.

Qing Yan looked around at them and was silent for a while.

The obscurity of the clouds twists the reluctant turbulent winds. The night wind gradually became a little damp, blowing on the face soft but not comfortable.

"I decided. Tomorrow, at the Golden Halberd Fengjian Conference, I will find an opportunity to ask the ghost master in person. He finally made such a decision, and announced it to everyone without any doubt.

The henchmen looked at each other, although they were a little embarrassed, but they were still relieved.

Suddenly, at this moment, there was an undisguised sound of horses' hooves outside the Phoenix Halberd Sect. Qingyan and the others looked up one after another, and they didn't know who came to Fengji so late.

The galloping horse was very fast, and it didn't take long for him to arrive at the door of the phoenix halberd. Just as the rider wanted to rush in, he was stopped by Qingyan and the others who happened to walk to the door.

"What's the matter? Feng Halberd is a place where you can ride in and out at will?" a person behind Qing Yan shouted at the guest who came on horseback.

I saw the man on the horse, wearing a hat with a gauze curtain on his head, obviously not wanting them to see his true identity. But Qing Yan then saw that the clothes that the person was wearing were the uniform clothes of the Jade-faced Rakshasa Halberd Sect.

His heart froze, and he hurriedly stepped forward to greet him personally: "Are you the messenger of the jade-faced Rakshasa halberd? ”

Seeing such a change in the attitude of the leader, everyone behind him immediately did not dare to say anything to that person, and all became respectful.

The black gauze curtain makes it even more difficult to discern the true face of the visitor in the dark night. The tall steed stood firmly and steady, quite disdainful.
