After leaving the academy, the three of them went all the way north, not only a little silent, but also a little cold.

Zheng Yan searched for the prey as he walked, hesitated for a long time, but then said softly, "Look at your reaction, is it someone who is fighting your idea? I think since we are going to Shengyang Mountain together, we must eliminate some barriers, and I can also understand the enemy we will face."

Before Jingyang could speak, Dugu Takihyun opened his mouth first, "Let's go our separate ways, it's really dangerous for you to be with us, and we don't trust you, it's a little reluctant to go on the road together",

Zheng Yan stopped and looked at the cold woman in front of him, since he didn't have to go on the pole to teach others any means of survival when it came to this, he simply fulfilled his previous promise to Lu Yin first, nodded and said, "Can you borrow a step to speak?"

The remaining two were a little surprised, glanced at each other and were a little hesitant, Zheng Yan smiled helplessly, "I am a monk who refines and refines qi cultivation, for you it is just a matter of a finger, I want to know something about Fengyi with you, some time ago before I left the village, she also left alone, it seems that she left in a hurry, I have been a little worried",

Dugu Takihyun thought for a moment and nodded to Jingyang, then followed Zheng Yan to fly to an open place far away, and after landing on the ground, Zheng Yan pulled out the blue bridge that had been hidden on his body, and Dugu Takihyun on the opposite side immediately became vigilant, Zheng Yan shook his head and signaled her to be calm, put the dagger into the ground under his feet, pinched the trick with one hand and read the words with the other, and released a Zheng family's unique concealment technique, in fact, with Zheng Yan's current cultivation, he could only rely on the divine soul to release the technique that interfered with other people's exploration, and then signaled Dugu Takihyun to walk into the light blue circle released by the blue bridge.

"It's not to take a step to talk to you about Fengyi, but someone asked me to tell you something, because there are a lot of involved, and I don't know your companion, so I arranged it like this, but I still have some doubts about whether you are the real Dugu Takihyun, can you answer me a few questions first?", Zheng Yan looked at the woman who had already entered the circle and said seriously,

Dugu Takihyun frowned slightly, obviously a little displeased, but more indifferent, Zheng Yan tried his best to catch every look of the woman, fortunately, when he was a child, he and Jingfeng learned a lot of interrogators' language skills.

"Yes", the woman nodded and agreed after looking at Zheng Yan for a while, obviously nodding was not easy for an arrogant woman like her,

Zheng Yan thought for a while and asked the first question, "How long have you and Feng Yi not seen each other?"

After Dugu Takihyun answered clearly, Zheng Yan asked a few questions one after another, including the place where she and Feng Yi last met, what her body was, how long she had been transformed, where she was before she arrived at Zhanghua Academy, who gave her name, some trivial things about living in Youyue Cave, etc., Seeing that the woman was a little impatient, Zheng Yan finally confirmed that she was indeed the Dugu Takihyun that Lu Yin and Feng Yi said in their mouths,

"I have met Mr. Lu Yinlu before",

When Zheng Yan said this lightly, he was also quietly observing the woman in front of him, but the woman's reaction was very flat, just like hearing a gossip that had nothing to do with him, Zheng Yan was a little puzzled,

"What does he want you to bring to me?", the woman asked calmly,

Zheng Yan had imagined all kinds of scenarios, but he didn't expect it to be like this, and he Fengyi did inquire in detail about everything about this woman, her appearance, posture, her life experience, her temperament, habits, relatives and friends, etc., which was also one of the reasons why I felt a little when I saw her for the first time in the backyard of Zhanghua Academy.

There is not much problem with her appearance and posture, and she is indeed cold and arrogant, does not like to make friends, will give people an inexplicable dominance, and also has a feeling of overflowing talent, plus those problems are also flawless, but only this reaction makes Zheng Yan not only confused but also a little hesitant, which is completely unreasonable, because Feng Yi also said that she is a person who recognizes life and values.

The woman frowned again, obviously very impatient, Zheng Yan looked around after some entanglement, and then lowered his voice and said, "At that time, he only had a remnant soul, and then as the essence and blood were taken away by those people, the remnant soul also dissipated, he asked me to go to the Youyue Cave to bring you a message, saying that you should not desperately guard any outside the body, if you have been driven out of the Youyue Cave by those people, try to find Feng Yi, let Feng Yi take care of you, and then I saw Feng Yi first, she knew that I was going to enter Taihua Mountain, let me tell you if I see you, and wait for her to go back to Yiwangmen first",

"That's all?", Dugu Taki-hyun asked indifferently,

Zheng Yan nodded sincerely,

The woman turned to leave.

Zheng Yan was a little confused, where am I? Is this still my world?

The woman stopped not far away, didn't turn around, just said indifferently, "I'll go to find Fengyi after I finish my errand, you don't have to follow us", and flew away quickly after speaking.

Zheng Yan looked at his body inwardly, and the divine thought left by Lu Yin was still quietly suspended in his sea of consciousness, and his grandfather had seen it before, and he was sure that it really needed Dugu Taki's breath to trigger, but why did he still not react? Could it be that the demon king failed to stimulate the ban set up because the power of the remnant soul was too weak? But grandpa didn't mention this stubble, or this "Dugu Takihun" It's really fake, this is also the reason why Zheng Yan didn't tell her the truth, in that case, the matter is a bit big, judging from her answer to the question just now, she obviously knows Dugu Takihyun very clearly, what is the purpose of bothering to pretend to be a person so much?

Do Wen Zhang and Yang Yuanhua know about this? Wen Zhang obviously knows Feng Yi, and there is no surprise, after all, Feng Yi used to be one of the twelve heavenly demons under the Demon Throne, but are they friends or enemies? Zheng Yan racked his brains and didn't come to any conclusion, thinking that since he promised Lu Yin and Wen Zhang, what his grandfather said was right, the Zheng family man should really keep his promise, and he really regretted not being at the beginning, otherwise how could there be so many troublesome things, Zheng Yan was helpless, and he still followed in the direction where the woman left under self-blame.

It was easy to find the traces left by the two of them, keeping a distance of half a day and hanging far behind, according to Wen Zhang, these two people usually study and practice in Zhanghua Academy, and they have to go home during the holidays, that is, to go back to Yangshan, but Zheng Yan is now a little suspicious of Wen Zhang and his rhetoric, and why did the two of them react like that after they called the name of "Dugu Takihun"? I thought it might be the new demon king who probably wanted to do something to the old demon king's adopted daughter, Wen Zhang was sheltering them, but now I suddenly found that I was not thoughtful, and things were obviously not simple.

The straight-line distance from Zhanghua Mountain to Shengyang Mountain is five hundred miles, and the three of them actually walked for two days to arrive, one is that the two people in front are familiar with the terrain, and the other is that the two of them are cultivating at a high speed, Zheng Yan is completely desperately chasing after him, and he doesn't want to chase it later, he just wants to see how big the gap between his physical condition and martial arts cultivation and these spirits equivalent to earth-level cultivation is.

At sunset, Zheng Yan, who was panting like a cow, landed on a mountain peak, and the two figures who were climbing the mountain in the distance finally laughed proudly, only less than five or six miles away from them, the monk of the ground level was just like this, and when he was proud, he suddenly noticed that people seemed to be taking a leisurely walk, and he couldn't help but be full of depression, and he sat down and began to relax his body, and the gap was really not small.

Simply ate some jerky and began to recuperate, the consumption of these two days almost exceeded the sum of the previous days, and there was no fire to cook, just dry food to satisfy hunger, which will reach this speed. At ten o'clock in the night, some lights lit up on the mountainside of Shengyang, and Zheng Yan felt that he was almost recovered, so he got up and touched it over there.

When leaving, the clan elders gave each person a map that looked like a child's graffiti, which only marked the approximate location and name of more than ten mountains, the northernmost is Beifu Mountain, the southernmost is Zhanghua Mountain, I don't know how big the mountain is, I don't know what is on the mountain, Zheng Yan vaguely felt that something was peeping at him, and followed a while, it may be the spirits and ghosts in the mountains, or it may be the hidden demon cultivator, anyway, good people generally don't come to settle here,

Poisonous insects and beasts don't say, unreasonable spirits and ghosts don't say, the key environment is really not good, the top of the mountain is cold, the valley is gloomy and dark, how is it not a good place in feng shui, monks are different from mortals must find a phoenix water treasure land after death, monks are to live in feng shui treasure land when they are alive, as for after death, few people care, but the feng shui treasure land of the living and the dead is not a concept.

There is no specific situation of Shengyang Mountain on the map, so Zheng Yan has no clue, if it is really "Dugu Takihun" and Jingyang's home, there should be other spirits, then will they set up some protective measures? I heard that the spirits have a strong sense of territory, Zheng Yan deliberately avoided the front, and climbed up from a relatively steep cliff on the side.

Climbing the cliff of almost a hundred zhang, and walking through a messy forest, he finally saw the faint lights in front of him, Zheng Yan quietly touched the edge of the woods while paying attention to the surrounding movements, and finally saw the city built by the mountain dozens of zhang away by the moonlight and some lights cast by the waning moon.

It is indeed a city, hidden under the lush grass and trees, and it is a little difficult to determine the general outline for a while, but Zheng Yan still judged it through some strong female arrows battlement towers.

The city wall is more than 20 zhang high, it is not sure whether it is a huge wall built up by the mountain in situ, no matter what, this project is not ordinarily large, although looking at the semicircular city wall is three or four miles long. The stones of the city are one zhang long, and only when they are more than ten zhang long do they begin to use small pieces of stones and fired green bricks, is this the remains of human beings or the demon clan?

After changing a few angles, he didn't find the city gate, Zheng Yan didn't care about sighing at the majesty and strangeness of the city, and quietly approached the city wall from a place with lush vegetation, only to find that the stones were tightly fitted, and there was almost no place to start, but fortunately, the city wall was slightly inclined inward, Zheng Yan wiped his hands on the ground and felt that there was nothing strange around and the city, so he began to climb up. In this kind of place, even if there are no rattan on the city wall, even a single weed is rare, and it is more difficult than climbing the hundred-foot high cliff before.

Fortunately, Zheng Yan is a martial arts cultivator in the Five Realms after all, and he is a master everywhere, if it weren't for concealment, he wouldn't need to work so hard to come up, but after all, he still landed safely at the top of the city, and first quickly leaned to the edge of a corner tower in a low posture, and felt that no one had dodged into the corner tower.

There was nothing in the corner tower, and there was a thick layer of dust, Zheng Yan secretly said carelessly, and actually left a trace! But the matter has come to this point and no longer exits, but from the dilapidated wooden door along the staircase passage quietly down, although it is pitch black, he can't see his five fingers, but Zheng Yan is no stranger to the structure of the city, and he also has a rough judgment on the passage he walks, so he goes all the way down to the bottom, and it is a dilapidated wooden door, and there is light behind the wooden door.

From the outside, the city wall is more than 20 zhang, but in fact, the inside is more than 10 zhang, because the city goes up with the mountain. Zheng Yan saw that there was no movement outside, so he quietly opened the wooden door and walked out, the force control was just right, and there was no sound at all.

The layout of the city is relatively simple, mostly some scattered stone houses, but the shape of the stone houses is very chic, but also a little imposing, whether it is the porch or the pillars are carved with a lot of reliefs, there are also some strange statues. Following the lights cast from above, he turned around and avoided some places where people might be hidden, and finally heard the voices of people, and after a few moments came to the edge of a square.

The square is not very large, except for a large furnace with a flame in the middle, there are several bonfires around, and there is a circle of equidistant two-person bouldering stone pillars, there are several people tied to the stone pillars, Zheng Yan is hidden on the side of a house, and through the firelight, he can see that the people tied to the stone pillars seem to be peers of the clan who participated in this trial.

Dare to kidnap the Zheng clan! Zheng Yan flashed into the stone house next to him in shock, and began to carefully observe the terrain around the square through the crack in the window, to see if it was possible to rescue people, didn't Grandpa say that someone from the clan followed? Especially in Shengyang Mountain, which was originally a mission point, there should definitely be people and talents, how could they still fall into this field, is it a deliberate test of them?

Zheng Yan quickly and carefully scanned the whole square, the layout was too simple, it was almost impossible to save people, and there were "people" guarding with weapons, they were eight spirits who had not completely transformed, I don't know if there was a secret whistle, it didn't look like they were going to eat people, and the situation of the seven clan brothers who were tied up was fine, and finally the hall in the middle of the square attracted Zheng Yan, in addition to the four demons with weapons at the door, the light from the inside can also know that the leaders of these spirits must be inside, Jingyang and "Dugu Takihun" It should also be there, thinking of this, Zheng Yan said sorry to a few clan brothers in his heart, or go into the main hall to find out what the situation is here.

After going around in a big circle, Zheng Yan finally approached the hall by the square from the side, and walked around for half a circle and didn't find a side door, so there was not even a skylight, so Zheng Yan quickly climbed to the top of the hall, and finally found a small skylight, and finally saw the situation in the hall through the skylight.

A small platform slightly above the ground, on which there is a large golden bed facing south, or chair, which is covered with two extremely large black bear skins, two huge bear heads fixed on the armrests on both sides of the chair, and on the back of the chair is a carved red mighty tiger head, which is very imposing, and there is no one on the chair;

Under the bright white stone steps is the wide hall, the hall is empty except for the two rows of stone pillars, there is nothing, but there is a sudden sound on the side of the hall, Zheng Yan adjusted an angle to see that it is a side room, but the situation in the room is not known, and the sound is not real, and when he was about to look at other places, someone suddenly walked out of the door of the side room.

First of all, a middle-aged man with a tiger's back and a bear's waist is extremely tall and mighty, Zheng Yan suddenly trembled in his heart, this person he knew, in Mu Hanyang's memory, like Mu Hanyang, he belonged to the demon king Lu Yin and sat down for the twelve heavenly demons, and he hated it, a tiger spirit who had been practicing for almost five thousand years, yes, the clan secret file recorded that this guy was indeed not dead, and the third person in combat power under the demon king was actually here, and a group of little demons were gathered.

Following Yu Qiu was an extremely moving merry woman, with a charming smile on her beautiful and mature face, wearing a red brocade dress and a white fox fur, the skirt was slightly wrapped, setting off the figure was extremely plump, at this moment swaying her body and following Yu Qiu all the way to the bearskin seat, and also sat down, there was no little bird to rely on people, but there was a kind of equal meaning with Yu Qiu, could it be Yu Qiu's wife? Mu Hanyang does not seem to have such a woman in his scattered memories.

Just when Zheng Yan observed the two of them, there was movement in the side room again, and then three figures walked out together, two of which were Jingyang and "Dugu Takihun", and the other was also a very charming woman in white, just slightly younger than the fox fur woman, and also walked to the platform, but did not sit down, but stood next to the seat, a pair of delicate jade hands stacked in front of the abdomen, there was a feeling of everyone's lady, but it was probably a concubine.

Jingyang and "Dugu Takihyun" walked to the bottom of the stairs and stood solemnly, but they were like juniors.

The beautiful woman on the seat glanced at her husband and smiled slightly, looked at the young man at the bottom of the stairs and said softly, "It's rare for you to come back once, it's all a family, so your father has made some life, don't find a stool to sit down",

Jingyang grinned and went to the side to move two chairs back, "Dugu Takihyun" bowed and thanked him, and what he said was really "father and mother", Zheng Yan, who was hiding on the roof, was a little surprised, and couldn't help but look at this woman's expression a few more times, and finally didn't see anything, this young man is obviously not brother and sister, is it also husband and wife?

"Is the young man of the Zheng family you are talking about really called Zheng Yan? did he really say that he saw the remnant soul of the Demon King?", the woman waited for the two to sit down and spoke again,

The two of them looked at each other and nodded, "Dugu Takihyun" said softly, "He said that the demon king asked him to find me, which probably means to arrange me to practice beside Bai Fengyi",

Zheng Yan chuckled in his heart, listening to the meaning of her words, it was really Dugu Takihun, but why was it like this? What has she experienced after leaving Feng Yi over the years made her change so much? Then do you want to hand over Shen Nian to her? Does Shen Nian not react Does it mean that she has changed? Wait, what's going on? Shen Nian is just triggering the qi machine, how can it be triggered by the mind, Zheng Yan is completely confused, but he is very uncomfortable in his heart, when he thinks that Lu Yin raised her, Feng Yi also misses her, but she has long been ruthless and unrighteous.

"That young man named Zheng Yan is the Eighth Prince of the Great Zhou, if you see him again, don't provoke him easily, don't look at the fact that we can tie up the few little cubs of the Zheng family outside, but if we move him a hair, it is estimated that there is no place for us in the whole world", the woman suddenly said seriously, her tone was no longer the coquettish and gentle she used to be,

Yu Qiu on the side opened his eyes that had been half-squinted, and said indifferently, "You guys go down and rest early."

The two of them didn't say anything more, got up and saluted respectfully and turned to leave the main hall.

Watching the two walk out of the main hall, the young woman who had not spoken for a long time frowned and said softly, "Let's do the two children's affairs this time, this Takihyun doesn't seem to have any resistance, Beifu Mountain is very fast, they have always felt that only by marrying that young man can he inherit the throne of the demon king",

"This Taki-hyun!", Zheng Yan sat cross-legged on the roof and looked at the square below and was confused.
