The moonlight was cold, the autumn wind was bleak, Zhao Xuan stood on the watchtower, shivering coldly, the wilderness was bottomless, and the lights on the walls of Heavenly Sword City were also extinguished.

Suddenly, he heard footsteps approaching, coming from the direction of the tent, and when he looked closely, it turned out to be Shen Pingzhang. Zhao Xuan smiled: "Why did you come so early?"

"I can't sleep at night, so I'll come to talk to you. ”

"I'm bored, too, come on. ”

Shen Pingzhang climbed the watchtower, looked at Heavenly Sword City, and sighed: "We have been fighting for half a year in the Great Wilderness, and we have been sleeping all day long, I really don't know when it will be a head." He turned around and asked Zhao Xuandao, "You haven't been home for half a year, have you?"

"No, the brothers are almost the same, and since everyone is out of the city, they don't think about going back. Although it is a little bitter in this wilderness, there is always a rush, when I was working in the Li family in the past, I was called by the old men all day long, and I got very little, if it wasn't for the Yang Su brothers, how could I have today's achievements?" he smiled slightly, and then said, "Maybe soon, I will be able to break through to the Heavenly Rank, which is something I dare not imagine when I was in Heavenly Sword City." ”

Shen Pingzhang just laughed when he heard this, and asked again: "You have a wife and daughter in Heavenly Sword City, won't you miss them?"

"Of course I want to, but it's useless to think about it, during the day, they went out of the city to meet me, I now have enough spirit stones to support them, and they are also living very well, my daughter went to the monk's academy, and the dean said that her qualifications are very good, better than me, and the future is limitless, I am very happy when I think of this." ”

"If one day you die in this great wilderness and never see your wife and daughter again, won't you have regrets?"

Zhao Xuan was silent for a while, he didn't seem to be willing to touch on this topic, but it was difficult to avoid it, there were many crises in this great wilderness, they had already died a lot, and no one dared to guarantee that it would not be their turn to sacrifice tomorrow.

"I try not to think about that, Yang Su is cautious and will not take everyone to take big risks, and I am also very careful. If one day, death really comes, Yang Su will take care of my wife and daughter for me, I believe him. ”

"Yang Su can't control his fate, we are going to be a dead end, and when everyone becomes a Heavenly Rank master, we still can't enter the city, so we have to challenge the more powerful Desolate Beasts, until our team is completely wiped out, and this is really over. ”

"Do you regret it?"

"Yes, I'm tired of this kind of endless exploration, always on the death line, I don't like this state, I'd rather be a mountain guard in the Spirit Mine Mountain Range, at least I can quietly watch the rise and fall of the east and west every day. ”

Zhao Xuan looked at Shen Pingzhang very seriously, just like looking at a stranger, he couldn't understand this pessimism, everyone is desperate, and this kind of emotion is not allowed to spread, not to mention that these few people are still the souls of this team, one day they are all deflated, then there is really no hope," This is not a dead end, but our only way to live, we have brought vitality to this dead city, people are no longer completely dependent on the mountains north of the city, with more choices, in the future, when we have more and more people, we can build a new city in the great wilderness for relatives to live in. He stared at Shen Pingzhang and said word by word, "Heavenly Sword City is not the only choice, Yang Su can take us to wander in the Great Wilderness, and he will definitely take us to find a suitable place to reproduce." ”

Shen Pingzhang was a little stunned when he heard this. In the middle of the moon, when the time for the changing of the guard came, Zhao Xuan gently patted Shen Pingzhang's shoulder and comforted: "All this will pass, you have to have confidence." With that, he slowly climbed down the watchtower and walked towards the campsite, the evening breeze was very cold, and he suddenly felt that his body was even cooler, and the night sky became blurred.

Shen Pingzhang gently closed Zhao Xuan's eyes with his left hand and said to him, "Heavenly Sword City is the only choice. I'll take care of them for you. ”

Yang Su was awakened by the noise, he felt that something was wrong, and when he raised his eyes, Shen Pingzhang was grabbing the Desolate Wolf King with one hand and flashed out of the camp. He hurriedly got up, took the way of heaven, and rushed out of the camp tent, only to see the flames rushing to the sky, the light of swords and swords, and someone sneaking up on the camp.

He woke up like a dream, and the four major families finally couldn't tolerate them, and they killed the killer, but this change came too quickly, and he was not ready at all. This is almost a massacre, the difference in strength between the two sides is too big, not to mention being attacked by someone at night.

Ye Lang relied on the flying knife in his hand, making people dare not approach easily, he saw Yang Su, so he killed all the way over, and shouted: "Let's run away, the brothers are gone." ”

What can they do if they don't escape? Yang Su had no choice, he gathered the team and led everyone to break through to the Great Wilderness, this was their only way to survive.

Yang Su fled all the way with the remnants of the team, and the shouts of killing gradually faded away, and now they were fifty miles away from the city, and those people were afraid of the desolate beasts and did not dare to pursue them easily. They rested temporarily under a dirt slope, and now there were only a dozen people left in the team of several hundred people, all of whom were the strength of the peak of the prefecture level, and they had strange treasures, so they reluctantly retreated.

Ye Lang said angrily: "So far, the success has fallen short, the people of the four major families are insatiable, forgetting their righteousness for profit, and treacherous, we shouldn't have believed them in the first place, if we had led the team to escape the wilderness earlier and completely broke with Heavenly Sword City, we would not have had today's fiasco." The survivors gritted their teeth and said yes.

Yang Su leaned on the earth slope and thought a lot, their camp was set up with four sentry posts, the night vigil was all masters, and the defense could be described as very tight, how could it be taken down by someone silently? The only ghost ghost who knew the secret of the treasure was also taken away by Shen Pingzhang. The connection between these two events had to make him suspect that Shen Pingzhang had rebelled, that he was the night watchman tonight, and that he also knew the secrets of the treasure. People are separated from each other, and he wants to know what Shen Pingzhang thinks and why he betrays them.

Suddenly, one person exclaimed, "There are people on the slope." ”

Yang Su raised his eyes and looked, under the moonlight, the purple-robed guest stood with his hands in his hands, it was the head of the Liu family, he had been waiting here for a long time, and there were five monks standing behind him, dressed in green clothes and purple belts, and the people who were worthy of the purple belts among the guests of the Liu family were all the top masters who had gone up to the heavenly level.

The low dragon groan resounded through the heavens and the earth, a red dragon fell from the sky, it breathed down, there was a ten-zhang wide pit in the wilderness, the flame in the pit burned without extinguishing, this is just a small warning of the fire dragon, in the era of the melee between man and beast, there are many records about a fire dragon burning a fortified city.

The fire dragon fell to the ground tamely, and from its back jumped an old monk, with a neatly combed bun on his head, a bone hairpin pinned to it, and a large black gourd more than three feet high, and a crutch made of animal bones in his right hand, which turned out to be a lame man, and his entire right leg was empty.

The lame old monk glanced at the head of the Liu family and said with a smile: "These little dolls have just debuted, and they can't cope with all the masters, but the old man happened to catch up today and is willing to stand up for them." ”

This old monk came riding a fire dragon, in the eyes of Yang Su and the others, it was naturally very terrifying, but the Liu family master and the others were all heavenly ranks, although they saw that this person had some abilities, they were not very afraid, and they did not have the slightest intention of backing down.

A guest behind the head of the Liu family stepped forward and said angrily: "Don't meddle with the old thing, otherwise it won't cost much to cut you all together." ”

When the old monk heard this, he smiled and said, "You deserve to die here, and eat my flying sword." After speaking, he took off the gourd behind his back with his left hand, held it in the palm of his hand, and recited a few words, three swords flew out of the gourd one after another, the first red as fire, the second as white as a rainbow, the third Mo Ruyuan, three flying swords in front of him, the old monk closed his eyes, and the eyebrows suddenly opened a heavenly eye, staring at the madman, and only said: "The earth is burning on fire." "The fire sword was inserted into the earth, and the madman only felt that the fire burned his body, from the inside out, there was no way to resist, and the poor cultivation of the Heavenly Rank turned into dust in an instant.

Seeing this, how could the Liu family and the others dare to underestimate the enemy, this old monk only used one sword, and easily killed a master of the Heavenly Rank. The head of the Liu family frowned, and bowed to the old monk, "Where does the master come from, please forgive me for being clumsy." The old monk sneered: "You are waiting for the rats, living in a lonely city, so naturally you can't listen to my name." I know that you are a descendant of the Liu family, but unfortunately you have long lost the spirit of your ancestors, and you have done such a dirty thing, if I don't make a move today, these good young people will be destroyed in your hands. For the sake of your ancestors, I don't want to get out of here. ”

When the head of the Liu family heard this reprimand, his expression changed greatly, but he didn't dare to refute it, for fear of annoying this person and being poisoned, so he thanked himself and retreated.

Yang Subai said: "Thank you old gentleman for saving us." ”

The old monk smiled and said: "It's a trivial matter, why worry about it, I have noticed you a long time ago, it is really commendable to be able to brave hardships and dangers and go away to the great wilderness, if there are more people like you in the Sword City this day, why worry about the big things that will not be achieved? It's a pity that ordinary people are burdened by interests, and they can't intrigue themselves, and the realm is like this, how can they be improved? Since the Heavenly Sword City can't accommodate you, follow the old man to take risks in this great wilderness in the future." ”

Ye Lang said with a smile: "We didn't want to go back for a long time, now that the sea and the sky are open, we are free, and we have the guidance of the old immortals, how can we not obey our fate?"

When the old monk heard this, he laughed, jumped on the back of the fire dragon, and said, "In that case, you should also come up and accompany me on my journey through this great world." When everyone heard this, they climbed on the dragon's back, and they were overjoyed, and the fire dragon groaned, rose to the ground, and soon disappeared into the night.
