The night was dark.

The two of them climbed over the last col and finally walked out of the maple forest.

The first quarter moon in the sky was obscured by mist, and even if it was not in the dense maple forest, only a faint light could be seen in the surrounding emptiness.

Fortunately, the two of them have superb internal skills, their eyes are like torches, and they can still vaguely see the location of the General's Pavilion.

It was an old building clinging to the mountain wall, and the building was not large, only a dozen or so wooden houses.

The hut is surrounded by steep cliffs and there are no passable trails. If you want to enter, you have to jump three times.

Looking at the bottom of the wooden house, there is a waterfall that is a foot wide.

The water of the waterfall overflows from the mountain.

At night, the silver-white waterfall is especially dazzling.

"Boom!" approached, and the sound of the waterfall falling was as pleasant as thunder.

The two of them stood beside the waterhole below the waterfall, surrounded by a pungent smell of blood.

The smell was too strong and disgusting.

Xia Qing was full of vigilance, using his divine sense to sense, and the aura of death shrouded in the cold of the forest around him, and he unconsciously felt a chill down his spine.

"Look, that's the legendary General's Tree!" Suddenly, Allure raised his hand and pointed to an old tree on the other side of the waterfall.

From a distance, the withered old tree was already in a dying state, with more than a dozen corpses hanging on it.

Each corpse was dressed in white and had white hair.

They swayed in the wind on the old trees, and there was a faint green smoke on their bodies, which looked particularly weird.

Seeing this scene, Xia Qing's face turned cold, "General Tree, what do you mean?"

This thing didn't exist in Xia Qing's time.

And in the memory of the original owner, he also knew nothing about it.

"Follow me!" Allure stretched out his figure, "whoosh!" and jumped over the wide-width waterhole and landed under the old tree.

Xia Qing followed......

Standing under the tree, the smell of blood that I had smelled earlier was even stronger.

It turned out that the smell was coming from them.

If you look closely, you can clearly see the faces of each of them.

It was only when I got closer that I realized that they were not corpses!

They were hung from the trees, but each of them was sleepy and ruddy. On the whole, it is the same as those people in Thunder Tiger Town.

Allure squatted down and wiped it lightly on the ground.

In the blink of an eye, those people in the trees instantly turned into white bones and fell to the ground. Suddenly, even the smell of blood in the air gradually dissipated.

"This is ......" Xia Qing was shocked, he thought that he had experienced people, but he had never seen such a strange thing.

"It's called the General's Curse. Allure stood up and said solemnly: "What I erased just now is the spell on the ground, if you go back to Thunder Tiger Town now, there will be such a scene in all rooms." They have to stay alive every night in this way, otherwise after dawn they will be reduced to a pile of bones. ”

"So, what General Sima said is true?" Xia Qing couldn't help frowning.

"Half-truths. Allure said: "Actually, they have long been dead, and they can only survive by relying on the general's spell." Although alive, they all have no mind, no soul. Now they are the living dead in the true sense of the word. ”

"I see...... Xia Qing realized, "You said before that you had to rush to the General's Pavilion at night, is this the reason?"

"Exactly. Allure said: "Once dawn, there will be at least 30,000 such living dead in the entire Thunder Tiger Mountain, and at that time, with your and me's ability, it will be impossible to get out of here alive." ”

"Thirty thousand!" Hearing this number, even Xia Qing felt creepy.

"Yes. Allure said, picked up a waist card from the pile of white bones, and handed it to Xia Qing, "Look, what is this." ”

Xia Qing took a look, "Address, Taoyuan Town, Name, Mu Han, Xiuwei, Xiaowuzong." Is this his identity?"

"Exactly. Allure said: "Each of them has such a brand, this kind of brand is called a soul card by them, if there is no soul card, even they themselves will not remember their identity." ”

"......" Xia Qing clutched the soul card, and her mood was complicated...... "Allure girl, do you know who is responsible for all this?"

"I don't know yet!" Allure shook his head.

"......" Xia Qing's eyebrows frowned slightly, and he suddenly remembered the inscription on the dragon gate outside Thunder Tiger Town, "The sword is famous in the world, and the general has gray hair." If I'm not mistaken, the Edgeworth Alliance is trying to devour the entire Sanctuary in this way?"

"That's what I thought, too. Allure said: "In my impression, the Pavilion Master of the General's Pavilion was originally a good person, but in recent years, he has suddenly become mad, and he must have been bewitched by the Imperial Sword Alliance!"

"Perhaps......" Xia Qing secretly thought in his heart, what really led all this was probably not the Imperial Sword Alliance, but the mysterious power that invaded the Holy Domain.

But this kind of thing, naturally, he will not say it.

Raising his eyes and looking at the General's Pavilion attached to the dangerous wall above the waterfall, a trace of killing intent flew in his eyes!

There are 30,000 living dead in one Thunder Tiger Mountain alone!

And the Edgeworth Alliance has countless rudders in the entire Sanctuary, and how many people they have killed is really immeasurable!

"Whoosh!" he didn't say a word, he performed the Eight Desolation Holy Steps, stepped on the Seven Stars, and jumped three feet high!

"Hey, you!" Allure seemed to have something to say, but Xia Qing had already gone up. Her face sank, and she also unfolded her figure, "Whoosh!" fell behind Xia Qing, and complained with a complaining face: "Young Master Xia, you are too impulsive, the other party is three martial kings, won't you break each one!"

"There's no need!" Xia Qing disagreed, "Bang!" stomped his foot slightly, and a hole broke in the roof.

"Plop!" the two of them fell into the house with their clothes fluttering and their bodies as light as swallows.

Looking around, it was pitch black.

There was a heavy slaughter in the darkness, which made people dare not be careless.

"I said just now that I wasn't sure, and now I say it's not necessary, you ......" Allure was full of vigilance, back to back with Xia Qing, and was speechless angrily.

"Shhhhhhhhh

"If you want you to say, of course I know someone!" Allure scolded secretly.

"Good time!" said a deep, deep voice in the darkness.

"Next door!" Xia Qing's face was calm, "Bang!" kicked open the wooden partition.

Candlelight next door!

Under the flickering candlelight, a man and a woman stand side by side.

They have swords in their hands.

The sword is unsheathed.

The heavy murderous intent in the room was released from the swords of the two of them.

Xia Qing had seen the appearance of the two of them.

The man's name is Han Meng, he is burly, and there is a sword scar on his black face.

The woman's name is Zhishui, she is petite and has an unremarkable appearance, but her eyes are full of anger.

They were wearing silver suits, and the swords in their hands were also silver. It looks exactly the same as the two fake Xuanyue Twin Swords I saw outside Tianhuo City before.

However, I saw two great martial artists before.

And the two people in front of him are like the realm of the Martial King.

Their sword qi was hidden but not revealed, and once it was released, the dozen or so wooden houses in the General's Pavilion would be shattered in an instant.

"Young Master Xia, be careful of their Xuanyue swordsmanship. Allure reminded softly behind him.

Xia Qing hadn't heard of any Xuanyue swordsmanship, and in the face of the two Martial Kings, there was no fear on his face, and he saluted the two of them with a fist, and said calmly: "Presumably the two of you already know the intention of the two of us?"

Han Meng said in a deep voice, "I know." ”

Zhishui said coldly: "If you want to see the young master, you have to defeat the long sword in the hands of the two of us first!"
