Chapter 22: Leaving the Valley

"Great Elder, it's time now. Seeing the old man grab the purple robe on the back of the chair, Qiao Tong Yaran stepped forward in three steps and two steps and said, "You are ......?"

"Yaran girl, the fall of this old thief of the Zhao clan is very involved. Before Qiao Tong Yaran finished speaking, the old man in purple clothes looked solemn, and said in a trembling voice in a low voice: "In the name of the old man, the order is sent down, and no one in the clan is allowed to talk more about this matter." ”

Looking at the back of the old man who jumped out, Qiao Tong Yaran took out a handkerchief and wiped the sweat on his forehead, and the shadow of the immature young man and the rickety old man with a rickety back slowly surfaced in his mind a few days ago.

"Ye Lao. Under the night sky of Aoki Valley, a young man in a black cloak looked at the place where he had been with him for three years, and said reluctantly, "Are we really going to leave here now?"

"The old man has been hiding here for many years, but he suddenly appeared Zhao Yongchang and disturbed the purity. The old man with a rickety waist shook his head, and said helplessly: "Now that Zhao Yongchang has fallen, the Zhao clan exists in name only, and this Hidden Workshop has changed hands, I'm afraid Aoki Town will not be peaceful." ”

"With Ye Lao's strength, how can this little Aoki Town make any big waves?" The young man closed the door with his hand, looked at the old man's lonely back, and said unwillingly: "Besides, if Shiling suddenly returns to this valley, where should she ......find it?"

"Hmph, this small town on the outskirts of the barren mountains, how could the old man put it in his eyes. ”

The old man shook his head, and knocked out a muffled sound on the ground with a cane in his hand: "It's just that the battle with Zhao Yongchang has completely exposed me to the vision of those hungry wolves, if I don't leave at this time, I'm afraid it will affect you and Shiling." ”

"What kind of terrifying background does that group of people have?" Hearing the helplessness in the old man's words, Deacon and Wind Rakshasa who were covered in black mist suddenly appeared in the young man's mind like a nightmare that could never wake up: "Could it be that such a remote frontier is secular and their minions are not possible?"

"Hehe, their details, you still don't know. The old man stopped, glanced back at the young man behind him, sighed, and said, "We can only rest in the town for a while now, and the rest of the things can only be planned after dawn." ”

"It's all up to Ye Lao's arrangement. ”

Not long after Ye Lao and Yu Sheng left the valley, Aoki Valley, where there were not usually a few people, suddenly became much more lively.

The figures of three or three, standing under the boulder shattered by the terrifying force, as if they had not found the house in the distance, looked at the ashes and ruins in front of them, in addition to the jaw-dropping amazement, the fear and doubts buried in the bottom of their hearts also grew stronger.

Seeing the crowd of onlookers disperse in all directions, standing in the far corner, as if a purple figure that was one with the surrounding heaven and earth, after pondering for a moment, slowly walked towards the depths of the valley.

"Mr. Ye. Looking at the scattered medicinal herbs in the courtyard of the house, the purple figure called softly: "Mingshan came this time, there is an important matter to discuss. ”

After a long time, the silence in the valley became the most sincere and unjustifiable response to this visitor from afar.

"Yaran girl. In the back hall of the Qiaotong Chamber of Commerce, the Great Elder who had just stepped into the Jun Realm stood in front of the window with a ruddy face: "The people of the Zhao clan have all left Aoki Town last night?"

"Returning to the Great Elder. Avoiding the dazzling light in front of the window, Qiao Tong Yaran leaned over and whispered: "After evacuating overnight, all the people of the Zhao clan have left Aoki Town. ”

"No one was injured?"

"Although there are a large number of people in this Zhao clan, in addition to being a little flustered at first, fortunately, with the help of that Steward Tong, just after the ugly hour, all of them have left safely. ”

"What kind of medicine is sold in this old gentleman's gourd?"

"I don't know what the Great Elder means?" Qiao Tong asked in a voice: "Although Mr. Ye is a fourth-rank Dan master, his Xuan Qi cultivation is only in the Xuanjun realm, how can he completely defeat Zhao Yongchang, who is comparable to the powerhouse in the early stage of the Xuan Emperor......

"Do you know what's wrong?"

Yaran knew his mistake. Looking at the coldness between the serious old man's eyes, Qiao Tong Yaran broke out in a cold sweat, hung his head and whispered: "If this matter is really done by Old Mr. Ye, how can he leave Zhao Sheng behind?"

"Mr. Ye is strong and humble, how can you and I guess his thoughts. The old man flicked his sleeves, looked out the window at the sun that was gradually disappearing from the clouds, and said: "This matter is over, seize this opportunity to let my Qiaotong clan develop rapidly, and I have to find out more traces of Ye Lao." ”

After the baptism of Zhao Yongchang's falling waves, the morning sun in Aoki Town, although it still shines on the earth in the distant mountains, but it has a little more unusual light in the light it brings to all things.

"After this overnight cultivation, I'm afraid that I will break through the fourth grade of the Xuanshi and reach the fifth grade of the Xuanshi. In a room in Aoki Town, the old man with a rickety back looked away from the young man who slowly opened his eyes, looked at the black ruler leaning on the back of the chair, and said with a smile: "You can show your edge under the residual power of the Xuanhuang powerhouse, your potential is really not weak." ”

Ye Lao said and laughed, under the residual power of the Xuanhuang strong, the Xuanjun strong must avoid its edge. The young man smiled awkwardly and said loudly: "What's more, I'm a little fourth-grade mystic master, even if I fight for my life, I'm just a moth to a fire." ”

"That's it. The old man waved his hand, staring at the long ruler covered with rare patterns, and was stunned: "The old man still wants to thank you." ”

"Thanks to Ye Lao's care, I am also a ......" Seeing that Ye Lao was deeply attracted by his long ruler, the young man hurriedly stepped forward and said excitedly: "Dare to ask Ye Lao if he has ever seen this ruler?"

"I have never seen the real face. The old man shook his head and said with some uncertainty: "However, the old man looks at the length of this ruler and tastes its texture, which is very similar to a ruler recorded in ancient books. ”

"Please also ask Ye Lao to make it clear. The young man held a black ruler in his hand and handed it to the old man: "Although this ruler can't see the material, and there is no inscription engraved, but it has helped me escape death many times. ”

"Hehe, is the ground level advanced?" the old man waved his hand and said with a smile: "The old man still advises you not to have too much hope, just use it as a weapon to take advantage of." ”

What Ye Lao said was extremely true. The young man rubbed his thumb into the ring, put the black ruler in disappointment, and asked, "Dare to ask Ye Lao, what are our plans next?"

"After last night's battle, the remnants of the Zhao clan have completely left Aoki Town. The old man leaned on the back of the chair, slowly closed his eyes, and the index finger of his right hand knocked on the thick tabletop, making a muffled sound, and he should make a light and breezy look with the cyan ring beating in the palm of his left hand: "I was going to go to the Zhao family's mansion today to get some treasures, but now I have to give up." ”

"Zhao Yongchang, as the head of the clan, his rings have been held in the palm of your hand. Looking at the blue light flashing from the cyan ring, the young man sneered and said, "No matter how big the Zhao family's mansion is, I'm afraid it can't compete with this small ring." ”

"You kid hasn't done anything about robbing a house at first glance. The old man glanced at the young man with disdain, a purple fire flashed from his fingertips, and he poured all the items in the ring to the ground: "Just these things outside the body, how many things are used by you and me?"

"It's okay if you can't look down on this gold coin, but don't you even look down on this magic core?" Bypassing the glittering gold coins like a small mountain, Yu Sheng stepped forward and stared at the reddish scroll next to him and said, "Presumably this is the old thief's body technique, the bloodthirsty phantom, right?"

"Stop. ”

The old man snorted coldly, and the blue-red Xuan Qi burst out of his body, and after the red light flashed, the scroll that the young man was about to touch suddenly flipped and rolled out.

"You kid don't want to die?" the old man reprimanded: "Zhao Yongchang is a strong man who is enough to rival Emperor Xuan, and he regards it as a treasure, how can you, a monk who is only a monk cultivated by Xuandi, say that you can touch it." ”

"Ye Lao ......" the young man opened his mouth.

"Take it. ”

The old man's fingers moved slightly, he held up the scroll that had faded from the red light, handed it to the young man, and said, "It is good to be curious, but you must not let this curiosity control your actions, and how many lives have been lost because of this reckless act. ”

"Ye Lao taught a lesson. Taking the scroll in front of him, the boy nodded.

Although he has been with Ye Lao for three years, he still hasn't been able to figure out where he came from, but the gratitude that seems to have been built up by the grace of reinvention has given the young man a trust in the unfathomable old man in front of him for a long time and worth his life.

"Are you interested in the bloodthirsty phantom that Zhao Yongchang is proud of?" Looking at the young man who was immersed in the mystical technique, the corners of the old man's mouth were full of a pleased smile: "Do you want to try to cultivate yourself?"

"Although this body method is at the intermediate level of the ground level. The young man shook his head and replied, "But I still feel that it is not suitable for me, so it's better not to waste time on this." ”

"Well, although this bloodthirsty phantom grade is good, it still doesn't suit you. The old man nodded, and after a Xuan Qi was struck, a scroll shining with blue and black light appeared in front of the young man: "Although this blood shadow clone has a slightly higher requirements for Xuan Qi, and it is extremely cumbersome to cultivate, it is a very suitable Xuan skill for you." ”

"The realm of Xuanjun can gather qi to form ......" Looking at the words recorded on the first line of the scroll, a bitter expression began to brew on the young man's face, and he glanced at the old man with a gentle smile in front of him, and said helplessly: "Mr. Ye, such a valuable Xuan skill, how dare I take it for myself, and besides, with my current cultivation of the four grades of the Xuan Master, I'm afraid it's not appropriate to keep it." ”

"Look at your young age, why are you so verbose. Seeing that the young man refused to put away the scroll, the old man pretended to be angry and said: "Although the old man saved your life, but you have also served by the old man's side for many years, so this scroll should be the reward that the old man gave you for your hard work in the past few years." ”

"Thank you Ye Lao for the rest of your life. ”
