In the middle of the night, the moon is as cool as water, silent, and a big mountain located in a remote place on the Four Seas Continent is like a pool of stagnant water, hidden in the night.

In a hidden cave on the mountain, there was a young man and a man who looked to be about twenty-seven or eight years old.

It wasn't until a long time had passed that the two of them, who hadn't heard any movement, let out a breath and clinged to the stone wall to support themselves.

"Jing'er, Uncle Chu can't hold it anymore, let's sleep for a while."

"Chu, Uncle Chu, hold on for a while, don't sleep, don't sleep!" Bai Jingyu thought that he would never wake up again if he fell asleep like Uncle Yi, and looked at Chu Nanxiu crying in a frightened whisper, his voice full of panic.

Chu Nanxiu took Bai Jingyu to hide in Tibet all the way, evading the pursuit of the enemy everywhere, and he didn't have a good rest for a day, plus he was still injured on his body, and his physical strength and aura had long been exhausted.

After he took Bai Jingyu to hide in this hidden cave after a life-and-death struggle, he was sure that no one was chasing him, so he dared to relax his mind, and his tense spirit slowed down a little.

And his slackness, the results of the previous strong support all followed, the body seemed to be no longer his, and the limbs were like needles and needles producing dense stinging pain, and the slightest exertion hurt badly, shaking all over the body, and breaking out in a cold sweat.

Although the first thing Chu Nanxiu did when he hid was to deal with the injuries on his body, the wounds did not heal so quickly, and the pain and itching continued to come from the wounds, which made him scratch it or not, it was uncomfortable and tight.

In addition, he has been running the aura at high intensity for days, which has caused the aura in his body to be depleted, and he cannot be mobilized in a short period of time, and he is also weak, as long as the other party moves a finger, he can be crushed to death like an ant.

The taste of depleted aura was uncomfortable, the whole person could not lift any strength, Chu Nanxiu's consciousness at this time gradually became blurred, the person was half lying and half leaning against the stone wall, his eyes narrowed into a slit, and he heard Bai Jingyu's cry dimly, and muttered in a vague voice, "Good, Jing'er, Uncle Chu is too tired, you let ...... Uncle Chu sleeps for a while, and it's fine for a while......"

"No, no! Uncle Yi said the same thing at the time, but he never woke up after falling asleep, Uncle Chu, wake up, don't sleep, don't leave Jing'er alone......" Bai Jingyu pushed him anxiously and called in a low voice, wanting him to wake up.

Although no one was found chasing them now, it didn't mean that they were safe, so Bai Jingyu only dared to bite his lip and lowered his voice and shouted Chu Nanxiu, for fear that if a little sound came out, he would be discovered by the other party.

Chu Nanxiu was dizzy by him, he couldn't stand it and reluctantly opened his eyes, seeing the anxious look on his face, he tried to hold up his spirit and comfort him: "Jing'er, don't be afraid, I'm just a little out of strength, unlike your Uncle Yi, he is too injured, I am a minor injury, it's not a big deal, just let me take a break, don't worry." ”

"Really, really?" Bai Jingyu's eyes were red, and he snorted, a little incredulous.

He also believed Uncle Yi's words at that time, and let him sleep without disturbing him, but when Uncle Chu found them, Uncle Yi's body was already cold, so he was a little scared now.

"Hmm." Chu Nanxiu's consciousness had already begun to drift away, and he nodded lightly, unable to respond.

After listening to his explanation, although Bai Jingyu was still a little uneasy, he didn't wake him up again, but he moved his body to Chu Nanxiu's side, grabbed his hand tightly, and made sure that his body temperature had not dropped, so that he could temporarily settle down.

Bai Jingyu sat with his knees folded like this, in a daze in the dark, waiting for the dawn to come.

"Help, help!!"

In the barren mountains and dense forests, a male cultivator in the foundation building period fled in panic in the forest, although his mouth was shouting loudly, his eyes revealed deep despair, thinking that he knew in his heart that there was little hope of surviving in such a sparsely populated place.

Several demon cultivators chasing behind the male cultivator followed him unhurriedly, the distance remained the same, as if they were teasing him, neither ready to let him go, nor did they want to give him a good time, just watching him gradually become desperate in the escape, as if it was a funny thing.

"Isn't that interesting? Can't you just give him a good time? Playing with him like a monkey, what's the fun for you? Among the four demon cultivators chasing behind the male cultivator, a fair-looking female demon cultivator frowned and said, her tone was impatient, "Don't forget, we came out with the order of the Great Guard, and the time is urgent, how can we afford such a delay from you?" ”

"Urging and urging what is urging, we are not not not doing tasks, but we are slower, you have said this all the way, can't you stop talking about tasks all the time? It's annoying! Another gorgeous-looking female demon cultivator glanced at her unhappily, and snorted coldly, "The Great Siwei didn't say when it would be completed, you are in such a hurry to finish, are you going to use this matter to please him?" What a shame! ”

"If you want to complete the task early, you want to curry favor with the Great Guard? According to what you say, then you have been dragging it out and not finishing, do you want to give the big secretary a dismount? Qingli Female Demon Cultivator glanced at her and replied unceremoniously.

"Ye Zhen, what nonsense are you little slut! When did I say I was going to give the big guard a dismissal? The gorgeous female demon cultivator was suddenly annoyed, stopped, raised her right hand, and directly swung a demonic qi at her.

Ye Zhen also stopped, dodged away, looked at her coldly, and directly took out his weapon to fight back.

"Eh, you two, why did you start fighting...... the other two men who were thinner in the demon cultivators hurriedly turned around to dissuade them, "We are all doing things for the Demon Venerable, that is, our own people, where is the reason that outsiders don't fight, and our own people make trouble with our own people first?" Ye Zhen, you put down your weapons first, if you have something to say, don't be angry. There is still Yu Yan, your personality is too impulsive, and you need to change it. ”

"What's the matter with you?" Yu Yan was dissatisfied when he saw him preaching to him, and raised his chin and said arrogantly at him: "Don't think that you are the oldest of the four of us who are qualified to teach me, Demon Cultivator, you have never spoken only by strength!" ”

Shao Jun twitched the corners of his mouth and shouted at the only person watching the play: "Shi Yi, you don't care?" ”

"What's the matter? Yanyan is right to say anything, I'm standing Yanyan anyway. Shi Yi clasped his hands and said meaninglessly.

"Then it's two-on-two." Yu Yan said to everyone, and then looked at Ye Zhen, "Don't say that I bullied you, our cultivation is about the same, and the strength of each other is not a huge difference." ”

As she spoke, she drew her weapon.

"Hey, hey, what's two-on-two, don't divide positions randomly, I'm alone!" Shao Jun saw that she was just talking to herself, and he only felt that his head was big for a while.

Why is he so unlucky, he was drawn by lot to be on a team with this eldest lady, not only is Shi Yi, the strongest of the four, protected, but she herself doesn't take this task seriously, and she drags on all the way, and the other teams are afraid that they are about to complete the task under the big guard, but they have just started.

Shao Jun couldn't help but wail in his heart, it was really better to let him be alone!

Ye Zhen looked at her so nonsense and pulled down her face directly, and decided not to accommodate her anymore, so she simply tore her face and went her own way, so she opened her mouth decisively.

"Since you think I'm wordy, I also think you're too slow, so in this way, we will go our separate ways and ......."

"Yikes! Shi Yi, that spiritual cultivator is gone, don't run away, right? Chase! Yu Yan Yuguang caught a glimpse that the spiritual cultivator he was chasing had disappeared, and he was busy exclaiming at Shi Yi, not listening to what Ye Zhen said at all.

Ye Zhen was directly interrupted halfway through his words, and he couldn't get out of his heart with a sullen breath, he couldn't go up or down, and his whole popularity was about to run out.

"Don't worry, I've put a thread on him, and if you follow the thread, you can find him, and you won't lose him." Shi Yi was indifferent to the situation around him, the only thing he cared about was Yu Yan, and seeing that she was in a hurry, he comforted her softly.

"Then don't go quickly, this is our first target, don't let him run!" When Yu Yan heard this, he immediately said.

Whether she is willing to complete the task as soon as possible is her business, she is happy to complete it quickly, and if she is unhappy, no one can force her if she drags it out, but if the prey in hand runs away and the task is delayed, it is another matter.

So at this moment, Yu Yan couldn't notice Ye Zhen at all, she pulled Shi Yi, and the two chased straight to the smell left by the thousand threads.

"Don't be angry, Yu Yan has this temper, after all, the Yu family also has some power in the Demon City, and since she has been spoiled, it is inevitable that she will be arrogant." Shao Jun, who stayed in place, looked at Ye Zhen, who also stayed in place, and saw that her face was like frost, and she pursed the corners of her mouth, so he knew that she was very unhappy, and hurriedly explained.

Ye Zhen was really angry, she was originally assigned to this eldest lady's team and already made her vomit blood, she was going to admit this matter and complete the task by herself, but she was so ignored, how could she not be angry.

However, she also knew that this matter had nothing to do with Shao Jun, in fact, she saw very clearly these days that if she could choose by herself, Shao Jun would definitely not choose to be in the same team with Yu Yan, so she restrained her temper and spit out a turbid breath, don't let her bad mood turn to others.

"I'm not angry, it's my own business to get angry." So although her face was still not very good at this time, it was much more relaxed than when Yu Yan was there.

Yu Yan and Shi Yi had already disappeared, but Ye Zhen stood still calmly.

She didn't want to catch up now, lest the anger that she had been holding in her heart before going down would be ignited again by the remaining smoke, and it would not be cost-effective to make herself angry, and she would talk about it when she was angry.

So Ye Zhen looked around boredly, glanced at the person next to him, and suddenly asked, "You ...... Familiar with the big guard? ”

Shao Jun lingered back and forth between staying with her or chasing the two of them, and when she heard this, she didn't expect that she would suddenly ask her Shao Jun reacted slowly, and then came back to his senses and said: "It's not very familiar, we all grew up in the magic city, and there may be more contradictions when we were young, Da Siwei...... It's the child of the servant......"

Ye Zhen nodded lightly and didn't continue to ask.

She didn't have any interest in the love and hatred between them, all she cared about was whether she could complete the requirements of the Great Guard on time.

Thinking of this, she was a little puzzled, looked at Shao Jun, and asked with a little hesitation: "That...... Do you know why the Demon Venerable asked us to deliberately stir up trouble in the Four Seas Continent? ”

"To know is to know a little, but I don't know the specifics." Shao Jun bowed his head and said, "I heard that the Demon Venerable is planning an action, it seems to be related to the Holy Flower, let us go around deliberately stirring up trouble just to attract the eyes of those spiritual cultivators, so that they can't pay attention to the Holy Flower, it is said that as soon as the Holy Flower blooms, the Demon Venerable will start to act." And the people who know about this action, I estimate that there are only a few people close to the Demon Venerable. ”

"I see." Ye Zhen replied a little perfunctorily, she originally asked casually, but now she was not much disappointed when she heard this vague answer.

"Before coming out this time, I heard that the holy flower seems to be already showing signs of blooming, and I guess this action is coming soon."

Ye Zhen nodded silently, she and Shao Jun stood in place and chatted for a while, and the time was almost long before the two of them set off to chase in the direction of Yu Yan and them.
