Not long after I left the hinterland of Medicine Valley, black clouds surged in the sky behind me, mysterious runes lit up from the clouds, and two men in black robes fell from the sky.

They fell next to Yang Yan and looked at Yang Yan, who was already dead, and one of them said, "Actually killed?" ”

The other person leaned down and touched Yang Yan's abdomen, he snorted and said: "If you don't build a foundation for ten years, I'd rather give my Dao Dan to someone else than give it to my clan, but it's a pity that his Dao Dan, this eats something outside the inside!" ”

After this person finished speaking, he waved his hand to Yang Yan, and the fire was raging, Yang Yan turned into ashes in a piece of firelight, he looked at the corpses and blood all over the ground and said, "People from the Qingyun Sect." ”

At this time, Ma Yuan and Wang Xing had already walked to the snow mountain, and they walked all the way and saw corpses lying on the ground from time to time on the road, Ma Yuan's lips were white, and he said: "After so many deaths, they will definitely blame the master." ”

Wang Xing said: "Then should we inform the master and let him ......?"

"Wang Xing." Ma Yuan suddenly stopped, and said with a serious expression: "It is a capital crime to deviate from the master, don't even think about such a thing." ”

Wang Xing snorted, and after a while, he asked again: "Senior brother, that Xiao Yan first pretended to kill me, and then deliberately let you go, what does he mean?" ”

Ma Yuan frowned and said: "With his qualifications, he is not worse than me, he has not built a foundation for ten years, there must be some reason, he got the Longyuan Sword, he is good at body skills, there should be no problem in killing Liangyu in the water, maybe he didn't kill us because he was afraid of our master, or perhaps, he broke us out to see someone." ”

Wang Xing heard Long Yuan Jian snort, and he said: "Long Yuan Sword will still be ours sooner or later, what is that Xiao Yan, unless he betrays his master and doesn't come back." ”

Wang Xing stopped as he spoke, looking back suspiciously.

Ma Yuan ignored Wang Xing, his physical condition was not good at this time, he had traveled a long distance all the way, and he was already a little physically exhausted due to his injuries.

"Senior brother, why do I always feel that someone is following us, I felt this way when we came out of the main hall where the sword was hidden."

"You're too timid, let's hurry up and join the people of the sect before dark." After Ma Yuan finished speaking, he walked straight forward without looking back.

"Oh." Wang Xing's face was still suspicious, and he turned around and was about to leave, when he was covered by a big hand.

"...... teacher" Wang Xing shouted vaguely from between my fingers, Ma Yuan turned around, and saw that there was no one behind him, he said: "Wang Xing, don't make trouble, we still have to hurry." ”

At this time, I was squatting in the ravine on the edge of the snow track, covered by snow overhead, and Wang Xing, who was thin in my arms, was struggling to break free.

Ma Yuan looked at the footprints on the slope and looked in the direction he had come.

"Shhhh

I took out the dragon marrow flower from Wang Xing's arms and put it into the sea of qi.

"Dragon Marrow Flower, Blood Bodhi, and the three flavors of the main medicine needed for the Taoist Holy Body Forging Technique, I have gathered two flavors." I whispered, the lead in my hand penetrated Wang Xing's neck, my fingers hooked, Wang Xing stood up expressionlessly, and followed behind me.

Two hours later, when Ma Yuan, who was in an anxious mood, walked to the top of the mountain, he was seriously injured by hunger and cold, and when he saw me standing on the top of the mountain, he said coldly: "You think that if I am injured, you are my opponent?" ”

Ma Yuan said, the Dao Qi in his hand condensed, and a punch came at me, my footsteps moved slightly, and I dodged his attack, the stones behind me shattered, and the snow splashed everywhere.

Ma Yuan's face was extremely pale, he looked at me breathlessly, and then fell to the ground.

At the age of twelve or thirteen, how can his physical strength be compared with that of an adult, I stepped forward to help him up and carry him on his back.

Ma Yuan woke up from my back in a daze, his eyes were strange, and he didn't seem to think that I would save him.

When we arrived at the foot of the snow-capped mountain, everyone saw me walking from the snow-capped mountain with Ma Yuan on their backs, and they all looked suspicious.

"Didn't this Yang Hao fall out with Senior Brother Pony, why did he come back with him now?"

"Who knows, I guess I'm afraid, it seems that Senior Brother Pony has been injured a lot, and he wants to take the opportunity to curry favor with him."

When Elder Hong saw me coming back with Ma Yuan on his back, he was also puzzled, because it was he who arranged for Xiong Wanjun and others to kill me, but I didn't die, and I came back with his big apprentice behind my back.

"You wounded my apprentice?" Elder Hong said with a gloomy look in his eyes.

I was just about to speak, when Ma Yuan on my back said, "Master, he saved me." ”

Hearing Ma Yuan's words, Elder Hong asked with a worried expression, "How could you be so seriously injured, your junior brother?" What about the others? ”

Ma Yuan said: "I don't know why my junior brother suddenly disappeared on the way here, and besides, the three thousand elite disciples of our outer sect found the place where the medicine valley holy medicine was located, and the whole army was wiped out. ”

When Elder Hong heard Ma Yuan's words, he snorted, and spit out a mouthful of old blood, and he asked tremblingly, "I said that why have passed the agreed date, and there are still so many people who have not returned, what is going on, how can so many people die?" ”

"We found the dragon marrow flower in the deepest part of the medicine valley, but we didn't expect the dragon marrow flower to lead to a dragon that was imprisoned in the volcano, and the person who controlled the dragon saw that the clothes were people from the Divine Snake Sect, and the leader let the dragon slaughter everyone, and in the end, there were only a few people left." Ma Yuan told everything that happened in the hinterland of the Medicine Valley, and everyone turned white, glad that he didn't go deep into the Medicine Valley.

And Elder Hong's whole person was already numb, there were eight thousand outer disciples, and there were more than three thousand people all of a sudden, and they were all elite disciples who could penetrate into the deepest part of the Medicine Valley, which was a heavy blow to the future development of the sect.

At this time, another person walked not far away, and everyone looked at it, but found that it was Wang Xing.

Wang Xing's face was expressionless, and he dragged a blood-stained cloth bag behind him, which was bulging inside, leaving shallow blood marks on the snow.

"Wang Xing!" Ma Yuan shouted, but Wang Xing did not answer, but threw the cloth bag in his hand to everyone.

The contents of the cloth bag rolled out, and there were seven or eight human heads with terrified faces.

"Isn't that Xiong Wanjun!" Someone pointed to Xiong Wanjun's head and shouted in horror.

"This is the painter Qingshi, and the ghost impermanence, he was not even killed! They are all in the top ten masters of the outer door! ”

Elder Hong saw the heads of people all over the ground, all of them were familiar faces, these people were all the ones he had escorted into the inner door, he couldn't help the blood in his chest rolling, and he spit out a mouthful of blood, and his body staggered a little.

The rest of the stewards supported Elder Hong, and Elder Hong waved his hand and said, "I'm fine." ”

And Ma Yuan walked up to Wang Xing and asked, "Wang Xing, what happened?" ”

Wang Xing mechanically turned his head to look at Ma Yuan, and suddenly a long knife slipped out of his sleeve and stabbed Ma Yuan in the abdomen.

It's just that before the knife stabbed Ma Yuan, Elder Hong slapped Wang Xing upside down and flew out, Wang Xing lay motionless on the ground, his body stiff.

Elder Hong pulled Ma Yuan and said, "He has been dead for a long time, and he was controlled by someone using a puppet technique. ”

"But the head of the puppeteer is also here, and I have never heard of anyone else in the outer gate who knows such a side way as the puppet technique." Someone said.

"No one is necessarily from other sects, and maybe people from the Divine Snake Sect."

Ma Yuan looked at Wang Xing's corpse, while Elder Hong looked at me intentionally or unintentionally, and then shook his head again, as if to deny his own conjecture.

After Elder Hong led the outer disciples back to the Qingyun Sect, the upper echelons of the sect were furious, and three thousand disciples died at one time, even if there was a conflict between the two sects, it would only be this number of casualties.

The next day, in front of the outer gate hall, there were several old men with solemn faces, led by a middle-aged man wearing a purple brocade robe who looked to be in his forties.

Next to the middle-aged man, there stood a woman in red, this woman I have seen, it was the woman of unusual status who appeared in the water storage room, and the whole water storage room was working for her to see the waterfall alone.

The middle-aged man looked at the trembling stewards of the outer gates kneeling at the bottom of the steps of the main hall, and his face was extremely ugly.

"Three thousand disciples died right under your nose, why haven't you died yet?" The middle-aged man asked.

Elder Hong said: "The head of the Qi sect, it is his subordinates who are not taking good care of him, and the people of the Divine Snake Sect are raising a dragon in the hinterland of the Medicine Valley, leading the disciples of my Qingyun Sect to carry out blood sacrifices, and please punish the head of the sect!" ”

Before the head of the Qingyun Sect could speak, the woman in red said coldly: "I already warned you last time and let you take care of the affairs of the outer gate, who knew that such a thing would happen this time, do you think that you can escape responsibility by shirking the people of the Divine Snake Sect with one sentence?" This seat will abolish your cultivation first as a punishment! ”

"Senior sister!" A white-bearded old man on the other side of the head of the Qingyun Sect said: "Senior sister, please be merciful to your subordinates, although Elder Hong's status is low, but he has also taken care of him conscientiously in the outer gate for decades, and now the cult is slaughtering my people, but you are going to abolish the powerless Elder Hong, I am afraid it will chill people's hearts." ”

"Yes, Yunxi, although Elder Hong is not well cared for, we still have to investigate the matter related to the comeback of the Divine Snake Sect." The head of the Qingyun faction said.

Yun Xi snorted, glanced at Elder Hong who was kneeling on the ground indifferently and said, "For the sake of the head and the Great Elder, I will spare your dog's life, but the death penalty can be avoided, and the living crime cannot be escaped." ”

Yun Xi said, an orange-yellow light appeared in his eyes, Elder Hong's body flew towards Yun Xi uncontrollably, Yun Xi imprinted a palm on Elder Hong's chest, Elder Hong immediately vomited blood, because Yun Xi's palm knocked Elder Hong's chest collapsed, all the ribs were broken, and he rolled to the ground, his limbs kept twitching.

"Master!" Ma Yuan screamed, knelt on the ground and pounced on Elder Hong.

Everyone was frightened, not knowing who this woman named Yun Xi was, after she had punished Elder Hong, she turned around and left from the main hall, and a group of inner disciples followed her and left.

"Master, it is Qingyun's misfortune that such a big incident happened at the outer gate, and the people of the Divine Snake Sect must not let it go." The Great Elder of the Qingyun Sect said.

The head of the Qingyun Sect said: "This matter still needs to be investigated, you can't just rely on the words of a child to believe it, the Divine Snake Sect is one of the five supreme sects of the Daomen, and at this time, I have been dormant for many years, but I have killed my Qingyun disciple regardless of the rules of the Daomen, if it is true, how can my Qingyun Sect swallow this breath." ”

"What should the Outer Gate Elder do?" The Great Elder of the Qingyun Sect asked.

The head of the Qingyun Sect glanced at Elder Hong, who was seriously injured, and said, "Remove Hong Jiu from the position of Outer Gate Elder, and from today on, Elder Jin will be the Chief Elder of the Outer Gate. ”

Elder Jin thanked him and said, "Thank you for your kindness, it's just that I, Jin, am just Elder Keqing, and I am afraid that it is deeply inappropriate to hold such a position." ”

The head of the Qingyun faction said: "There are many things in the outer gate, and other people don't understand it, you take care of it first, and when I find a candidate, let him replace you." ”

"That's great, thank you." Elder Jin said respectfully.

The head of the Qingyun Sect explained a few more words, and then also took people back to the mountain hall.

After everyone dispersed, Elder Jin walked up to me and asked in a low voice, "The top ten disciples in the outer gate, all of them were killed by you?" ”

I shook my head and said, "Elder Jin laughed, I don't have this ability yet. ”

Elder Jin stroked the head of the Dao boy beside him and said, "Then you ask me what I want to do with the top ten list of the outer gate?" ”

I said: "I don't want to have a conflict with the top ten masters of the outer gate, the outer door collects medicine, if you encounter a treasure of heaven and earth, it will inevitably cause disputes, I know these people in advance, but I didn't expect them to be killed." ”

Elder Jin's face showed a look of doubt, and he said: "It's not you, I thought I was wrong about you, Elder Hong and his disciples forced your mother-in-law to death, I can't say if you take revenge, but if you kill so many masters of the same sect because of this, let the upper echelons be angry and blame Elder Hong, such a human nature is too terrifying." ”

I said, "Even if I don't think about it, I don't have this ability, Elder Jin is too worried, I thank Elder Jin for his protection of me during this time, and the disciple is very grateful."

"It's nothing, and I can't get used to the style of the surname Hong." After Elder Jin finished speaking, he walked up to Elder Hong and Ma Yuan with his hands behind his back and said, "Elder Hong, now that you are no longer an Elder of the Outer Gate, you are limited to move everything out within half a day, and I will use your house." ”

Ma Yuan raised his head, looked at Elder Jin with a look of resentment, and said, "What do you mean by the surname Jin, my master and I were both seriously injured, but you fell into the well at this time!" ”

"Presumptuous!" The Dao boy beside Elder Jin scolded loudly. "Ma Yuan, my master is now the chief elder of the outer gate, you had better be respectful when you speak, otherwise don't blame me for being polite!"

"I'd like to see how you're welcome!" Ma Yuan was angry and wanted to get up and teach Dao Tong a lesson.

Elder Jin pressed on Ma Yuan's shoulder and made him kneel on the ground, Dao Tong slapped Ma Yuan's face, Ma Yuan was about to make a move, but was pulled by Elder Hong who was lying on the ground, Elder Hong said: "Apprentice, this time and that time, help me back, let's pack up our things and move to the disciple's room." ”

Ma Yuan was so angry that his body trembled, and he helped Elder Hong to walk towards the other garden at the back of the main hall.

I also retreated from the front of the main hall, but fortunately I didn't get along with Elder Jin too deeply, from beginning to end, he just wanted to use me to bring down Elder Hong.

How could an elder who was a guest elder, usually just in name, be allowed to manage the affairs of the outer gate, unless he wanted to be the one in charge himself. Elder Jin must have suffered a lot of sulking under Elder Hong's hands, otherwise he would not have mocked Elder Hong with this face in the first place.

No one would help a stranger without purpose for no reason.
