As the sun sets, the sky is getting dark. A round of silver and white hooked the moon, slowly climbing up the canopy along the mountain.

The firewood is still burning brightly, and the temple is illuminated. But at this moment, a depressing atmosphere also enveloped the entire temple.

Although the hall was full of people at the moment, everyone was solemn, waiting quietly with their lips closed, and their eyes also fell on one place.

Next to the fire, I saw Sheng Hepan sitting behind Mu Shanyun, continuously injecting spiritual energy into his body to renew his life.

In fact, not long after Mu Shanyun appeared, several people who were patrolling from the west also rushed back to the broken temple. When they saw that he was covered in blood and had passed out, they were shocked and amazed, just like the rest of the people.

Healing and renewing life, more than an hour. The broken hair on his forehead had already been soaked with sweat, Sheng He opened his eyes a little tired, and slowly helped the person to the ground.

At this time, although Mu Shanyun's face was still as pale as paper, fortunately, his lips finally recovered a trace of blood, and his breathing was much more even than before.

Seeing this, the little junior brother on the side hurriedly took off the water bag on his waist, handed it to Sheng He, and said, "Senior Brother Sheng He, drink saliva quickly." ”

Sheng He waved his hand slightly in decline, and then got up and commanded the junior brother: "You go and inform the master, there must be something wrong in Yuelian Town." ”

When a disciple of Cangxuanmen heard this, he hurriedly stepped forward and answered: "Senior Brother Sheng He, don't worry, we have already asked Jade Bird to go back to report the news." ”

Sheng He nodded at him and glanced at Mu Shanyun again. After thinking about it for a while, he faced everyone with a serious face, and calmly deployed: "This place is the closest to the road to the top of the clouds, so I need three Cangxuanmen juniors to send Xiaoyun there immediately." ”

As soon as the words fell, the three Cangxuan disciples walked up quickly, only to see one of them arch his hand and say, "Senior Brother Sheng He, Xiaoyun will be escorted back to the top of the cloud by me and the other three." ”

"Good!" Sheng and neatly responded.

Then, he continued, "Although I have heard that the Red Flame Heavenly God is in retreat, I still need to go to Yan Qingshan alone to inform him. If Master Venerable and Cangxuan Heavenly God don't arrive in time, then the Red Flame Heavenly God will definitely be able to help us. ”

"Senior Brother Sheng He, let me go. The little junior brother hugged his fists and stepped forward.

Sheng He put his hand on the shoulder of the little junior brother and thanked him softly: "Then it's hard for you." ”

Putting down his hand, he suddenly turned his head and whispered to the rest of the people: "If we go this time, if we find an evil spirit, we can only follow it in the dark, and remember not to act recklessly." Everything will have to wait until the master and the Cangxuan Heavenly God come to make a decision. ”

"Yes!" the crowd shouted in unison.

"Hmm..."

After the effect of the drug, the stinging pain on the body was overwhelming. Apricot snorted in pain and slowly opened her eyes.

The room was dimly lit, and by the dim light of the candles, she could make out the person sitting at the table.

Tugging the corners of her mouth, she weakly shouted at it: "Youruo..."

The voice was hoarse and extremely faint, so that this shout was not heard at all.

A sharp pain invaded the limbs, and Xing'er clenched the crown of her teeth and eased for a while before she got used to the pain. Her clothes were already soaked with sweat, and it took a lot of effort for her to barely hold up half of her body.

"Youruo..."

Hearing the shout, Youruo'e raised her eyebrows slightly, and after glancing at Xing'er, she waved her sleeves towards the black crow on the side: "Go..."

The black crow rolled its eyes smartly, then flapped its wings a few times, and flew out. After its figure melted into the night, Youruo moved lightly and moved to the side of the bed.

The thin lips were raised, and a wicked arc was swayed. She flipped her palm upward, and a black pill was lying in the palm of her hand.

"Now that you're awake, swallow it. ”

Glancing at the pill in her hand, Xing'er frowned and raised her eyes, and asked in the eye with her, "What is this?"

As soon as his palm was closed, Youruo turned to sit on the edge of the bed and confessed: "Poison!"

"Poison?!" The surprised luster in her eyes flashed slightly, Xing'er reached out tremblingly, grabbed Youruo's wrist, and asked with a little anger: "I have done so many things for you, and you want to kill me now?!"

His expression froze for a moment, and the mockery in his eyes became more and more intense. got up and broke free of Xing'er, she couldn't help but cover her lips and laugh again, "Hahaha..."

"You... Ahem, ahem..."

This wild laughter really annoyed Xing'er. But the body was too weak, and as soon as the emotion was excited, it involved the wound again, causing a heart-rending cough.

The laughter stopped abruptly, and Youruo wiped the tears overflowing from the corners of her eyes, sat back on the edge of the bed, and pretended to pat her on the back.

"Don't get so excited, I don't really want you to die. It's just that the situation is compelled, and you still need to be aggrieved and aggrieved, so swallow this pill first. ”

As she spoke, she handed the black pill in her hand to Xing'er again.

Forced by the situation, didn't she get the Soul Slayer Sword?! Or did something go wrong with the Red Flame Heavenly God?

In a flash of inspiration, Xing'er suddenly remembered the scarlet figure that came into her eyes before she fell unconscious. With a palpitation in her heart, she hurriedly asked tentatively, "Didn't Chi Yan come?" Didn't he give you the Soul Exterminating Sword?"

"He's gone to take his sword now. As he spoke, Youruo glanced out the window, and then urged: "So, now you don't have to delay time." ”

Xing'er was even more puzzled, "Since you got what you wanted, then why should I..."

"It's true that I want to destroy souls, but we need a swordsmith more than the Soul Destroyer at this time, a swordsmith who is proficient in all weapons. Youruo didn't plan to continue to hide it, and replied to her bluntly.

When Xing'er heard this, her eyes widened in shock, and she asked with some uncertainty for a long time: "Could it be that the plan you made is not just for the Soul Destroying Sword?" The ultimate goal is to bring Chi Yan back with him and let him forge a sword for Chi Hua?!"

Xing'er was so surprised that she blurted out Chihua's name.

Although Youruo's heart was a little unhappy, her anger did not occur. She only paused for a moment, then shook her head and retorted, "You are wrong, he doesn't forge swords for the Immortal Emperor, but for those puppet soldiers. ”

"Puppet... Bing?!"

His body trembled imperceptibly, and his hands hidden under the futon were also pinched together in a panic. While Apricot woke up from a dream, she also regretted her carelessness.

Shangyan Qingshan, who volunteered, originally wanted to take this opportunity to find a way to inform the rest of the gods, and then take it down in one fell swoop. As everyone knows, he still overestimated his own plan and underestimated the other party's mind.

Lowering her eyes, Xing'er snorted uncharacteristically a few times, and whispered to herself: "I, Shangguan Xing'er, am so untrustworthy!"

(c)

Just as the two were talking, there was a sudden rush of footsteps outside the door. Immediately afterward, I saw a black-robed man stop outside the door.

Youruo turned to the side and asked in a cold voice, "What's the matter?"

The black-robed man replied, "They're already on their way back. ”

"Well, got it. Go and gather all the men, and we will set out at once. ”

"Yes!"

Xing'er's eyes were full of stunned, and this brief conversation was like a boulder thrown into her heart, stirring up layers of ripples that could not be calmed down for a long time.

But even so, when you look back, the complicated expression on your face disappears in an instant.

With a shallow smile, the uncontrollable joy gradually poured out from the eyebrows and eyes. But this smile seems very mysterious in Xing'er's eyes.

"Honestly, I've always believed in you. When I saw that you swallowed the Gu pill without hesitation for the sake of the love in your heart, I was even more determined in my thoughts. But..."

After a pause in the end, Youruo's eyes rolled slightly, and Wu Zi took Xing'er's hand, pretending to plead: "Xing'er, the success or failure of this move, I am all on you." ”

Xing'er withdrew her hand and hooked her lips and said, "Oh, why didn't I find out that you value me so much?"

The good words came to this, and the steps were paved to the feet, and this girl was still so sneering.

Youruo's eyelids twitched, and she immediately turned cold and threatened: "Okay, if you don't want to rescue your lover, then we will part ways." ”

If the vicious woman doesn't have the slightest dissatisfaction with her intentions, she will want to kick the person away after using it?! No, the 'they' that the black-robed man said just now must be related to the Red Flame Heavenly God. I pulled this man into the water, and things have developed to the point where they are out of control, and I must not leave him and run away alone.

Thinking of this, in a pair of black eyes half-hidden under the eyelashes, the broken light rippled gently. Xing'er's heart sank, slowly stretched out her hand, and said in a deep voice: "You give it to me..."

Seeing that the plan succeeded, Youruo's face immediately put a satisfied smile on her face. Then, she put the pill in Xing'er's hand and said, "It's just to use this to blackmail Chiyan." ”

Xing'er looked indifferent and asked, "What if he is indifferent to this?"

You thought about it for a while, then got up and replied, "Before the poison strikes, I will definitely give you the antidote." ”

After a pause, she said earnestly: "The suffering suffered at this time is all for him to be able to reunite with you one day." After you have unified the Four Realms, just ask, and I will give you everything you want. ”

You will never be able to give what I want!! and the only thing you can give at the moment is to send me back to Chi Yan's side.

"Gu worms, knife wounds, whipping, poison...", he lowered his eyes and looked at the black pill in his hand, muttering to himself. Xing'er sneered coldly and sneered: "In just a few days together, I have already gained too much from you." ”

With that, she put the pill to her lips and swallowed it with her head back.
