The man in front of the Xujiezi has been standing there straight, his task is not to let anyone approach the Xujiezi, even if this person is a friend of the Xujiezi, there is no doubt that he faithfully carried out the orders of his superiors.

After about half an hour, Xujiezi gradually opened his eyes, and he saw the horse evil outside at a glance, so he quickly stood up and walked out of the formation.

"Brother Ma, why are you here!This is Brother Nangong, he didn't embarrass you!" Xu Jiezi said enthusiastically.

"No, he's just doing his job. Ma Xie doesn't hate this expressionless "Nangong Brother", in a sense, he likes this kind of person who can stick to his principles.

However, this person's surname attracted a trace of Ma Xie's attention.

Xujiezi seemed to sense the opposite in Le Ma Evil's heart, and said: "This Nangong Ke brother is also from the Nangong family, but now he is a loose cultivator, and he was sent by Luo Tiansheng Alliance Master to protect me. ”

Nangong Ke seems to have been accustomed to this kind of introduction, and whenever someone knows his name, he will always unconsciously notice his surname first.

Ma Xie didn't say anything, for the people of the Nangong family, there was always a mustard in his heart, after all, it was one of the top families in the Jin Kingdom, they were born disciples of Xuanyangmen, how could they choose to become a casual cultivator?

As if noticing Ma Xie's expression, Xu Jiezi pulled Ma Xie and Nangong Ke to sit down together, and said with enthusiasm on his face: "Brother Ma, although this Nangong Ke brother is from the Nangong family, he left the Nangong family many years ago and chose to become a casual cultivator, so you don't have to doubt him." ”

"I don't doubt it...... It's just ......" the horse wanted to speak and stopped.

Xujiezi waved his hand: "But it doesn't hurt to say it!"

"It's just that I got a piece of news in Linghuo Castle today, and the spies of the Nangong family have already lurked by your side to inquire about what you sent to Chen Baiyang. Ma Xie voiced his concerns.

Who knew that Xu Jiezi smiled: "Haha! Brother Ma, you are too worried! Not to mention that this Nangong brother is very sincere, even if he is a spy of the Nangong family, he will not get any information from me." I've put it in a reliable place where no one will find out. And the real purpose of that thing, only Chen Baiyang knows, I only know that it is very useful to Chen Baiyang. Aren't you saying that they are sending spies on my side?"

Ma Xie wanted to remind him again, but Nangong Ke spoke first: "I can't choose my surname and background, but my life is in my own hands." My surname is Nangong, but I am not a lackey of the Nangong family. I am a casual cultivator who does things by his own will, and this time I took the initiative to apply for the defense mission, I hope to protect Brother Xujiezi, and it is my honor to be able to escort people like him. Brother Ma, please believe me. ”

Listening to Nangong Ke's sincere words, Ma Xie actually felt that he had a little bit of a villain's heart, and he said to Nangong Ke: "I'm sorry, Brother Nangong, I shouldn't doubt you because of your surname, I apologize to you!"

After speaking, Ma Xie picked up a glass of wine and drank it happily.

Nangong Ke also picked up a glass of wine and said to Ma Xie: "I heard about you, why did you betray the sect?"

Obviously, Nangong Ke also thought that Ma Xie, like him, was dissatisfied with the sect before leaving Tianwu Sect, after all, Ma Xie's current identity is a traitor to Tianwu Sect.

Ma Xie briefly recounted the matter of avenging his master, and then said: "From beginning to end, I have not decided to betray the Tianwu Sect, on the contrary, my two masters are from the Danyang Hall of the Tianwu Sect, and my senior brothers are also very good to me, if I can, I will not give up my identity as a disciple of the Tianwu Sect after avenging the master." But the Heavenly Martial Sect doesn't want me, so that's another matter. ”

Saying that, Ma Xie drank another glass of wine and remembered a little from the past.

"That's the case in the sect, it's not a place to pay attention to human feelings, only interests and more interests, if it weren't for the fact that you are carrying a strange treasure, I don't think your sect would have forced a genius like you to leave! Nangong Ke said that he was born in Xuanyangmen, and he was even more touched by what happened to Ma Xie.

In a large sect like Xuanyangmen, this kind of thing is not uncommon. In order to force the disciples who have no background to hand over the treasures and inheritances they have unintentionally obtained, these sect disciples can't do anything, and force, coerce, and frame......

All kinds of stories, all kinds of methods, are staged in these sects all the time.

That is, a child like Nangong Ke, who was born in the Nangong family, may not suffer such treatment, otherwise as long as he does not stand at the top of the sect, he will always be the object of exploitation.

"The most incomprehensible thing is that this situation will be acquiesced in by many sects. In the eyes of most sects, the foundation of support for the sect is those big families, not disciples who are recruited every year and have no background, even if you are talented and do not become a top combat power, you will never enter the inner circle of the sect. Nangong Ke said.

At this time, Xujiezi, who had been silent, also spoke, and he said: "Every force and organization basically has this phenomenon. Isn't it the same in the imperial court, where there are many parties and factions, and all the people only care about the interests of their own small groups, when will they put the entire Jin Kingdom and the whole world in their hearts? There is a country on the mainland, there are sects in the country, there are families in the sects, there are factions in the families, and there are relatives among the factions, and there are relatives and relatives among the factions...... There are also interests and suspicions. It's ridiculous!"

The three of them were silent in unison, and the words of Xujiezi seemed to have aroused the thinking of Ma Xie and Nangong Ke, and they followed Xujiezi's thinking and began to examine this country and their former sects, everyone, every faction, every family, and every sect were fighting back and forth, and if they continued to fight endlessly, when would they understand?

And what kind of people, what organization, can unite them all?

"You say, will there be a figure like Emperor Haotian to unify the entire continent, so that there will be no fighting?" Ma Xie said, knowing that his idea was very naïve, but he still spoke out boldly.

"It's not easy to say, if you want to unify the continent, you must have peerless force like Emperor Haotian, anyway, I can't do it. Brother Ma, do you have such ambitions!" Xujiezi's eyes lit up, and Nangong Ke also looked at Ma Xie, he had never heard of anyone who dared to say that he would become the next Haotian Emperor.

Ma Xie knew that Xujiezi was joking, and hurriedly said: "I don't have that kind of ambition, and let me, who can't even lead Yuan Wuji, how can I become the Great Emperor?

"Hahaha! Ma Xie, I knew you weren't an ordinary person! You have such ambitions! Come, I'll toast you!" said Xu Jiezi excitedly.

Nangong Ke also toasted Ma Xie a glass, he admired Ma Xie for daring to say such a thing, but he was not as excited as Xujiezi, in his opinion, this was just Ma Xie's arrogant words after drinking.

After some conversation, Ma Xie and this Nangong Ke became acquainted, and the topic of the three of them returned to the traitor sent by the Nangong family.

Xujiezi didn't have any suspicions, and the location here was only known to Xia Mingxuan and a few people, and all of these people were Xujiezi's henchmen.

However, Xujiezi repeatedly insisted that his object had been placed properly, and unless he himself said it, no one would know where it was hidden.

"There are still three days before the general meeting of the Scattered Cultivation Alliance begins, I think all the forces can't bear it!" Nangong Ke said, their Scattered Cultivation Alliance had already received some information, and there were external forces that wanted to sabotage this alliance.

Nangong Ke was very confident in the defense of the Scattered Cultivation Alliance, but he was not worried at all.

"As soon as the day is over, let's move. Nangong Ke said to Xujiezi, "Go to the venue of the Scattered Cultivation Alliance as soon as possible, where the irrelevant Scattered Cultivators have been expelled, and now it is very safe." Get that thing of yours ready as soon as possible, we have to be foolproof. ”

Xu Jiezi nodded and said: "I know, then I will go to the conference with you, as for the matter of taking that thing, I have asked the Xia Alliance Lord to do it, presumably the person who guards that treasure will definitely bring it safely to the place where we agreed to trade." ”

"You're so confident, aren't you afraid of a little slip-up inside?" Ma Xie felt a little uneasy.

Xujiezi said: "If something is on me, I am the most uneasy. Now I am too dangerous to be attacked by the Xuanyang Gate at any time, so I leave my things in another place, and when everything is ready, a reliable person will take out the thing. So that even if I die, this thing will be finally done. ”

When Xu Jiezi arranged everything, he had already put his life and death aside, and even in his plan, if he could use himself to contain Xuanyangmen's attention and let that thing be delivered safely, it would be a good thing.

"Xujiezi, although I am a member of the Scattered Cultivation Alliance, I still want to remind you, if Chen Baiyang gets that thing and goes back on his word, what should you do?" Nangong Ke asked the most critical question.

Xujiezi said: "I hope he won't do this...... Otherwise, he would be the enemy of the entire cultivation world. ”

Ma Xie didn't know the deep meaning of Xujiezi's words, but he keenly felt that this matter must be related to that thing, and Xujiezi must also know the true purpose of that thing! And this cannot be exposed to the outside world, so Chen Baiyang will not want others to know what he has gotten, this is the only handle that Xujiezi holds Chen Baiyang.

When all the clues came together, Ma Xie suddenly discovered that at this moment, it was not only the Xuanyangmen family who wanted Xujiezi to die!

If the Void Jie Zi dies before the Alliance, then Chen Baiyang's talks with the Scattered Cultivation Alliance will lose its foundation, and if Chen Baiyang and the Scattered Cultivation Alliance's talks are successful and the Void Jie Zi is killed, then Chen Baiyang will lose his restraints.

And only the Scattered Cultivation Alliance is really on the side of the void at this moment.

"Let's go!" Xu Jiezi said, on his face, Ma Xie could not see a trace of panic, on the contrary, Xu Jiezi's expression was calm, and an inexplicable confidence emanated from his body.

Ma Xie believed that what he could think of, Xujiezi would definitely think of, and he had already prepared for everything.

They walked to the edge of the formation, and the void suddenly stopped.

"When I step out, whether I live or die, the cultivation world will undergo earth-shaking changes. Xu Jiezi suddenly said, "By the way, Ma Xie, thank Miss Qi for me." ”

"Thank you, Nanfeng?" Ma Xie was confused, but before he could ask, Xujiezi stepped out of the formation and walked out of the secret realm.

Ma Xie also hurriedly followed, and returned to the outside.

The two disciples guarding outside the formation had turned into a pool of blood, and it was obvious that this place had been discovered.

In the middle of the sky, a huge humanoid creature floated.

The upper body of the thing looked like a human, but it had four eyes on its face, and two sharp eagle talons on its lower limbs, each with a black python wrapped around it.

This strange thing, holding a huge scythe in his hand, dripping bright red blood from the scythe.
