Chapter 290: Behind the scenes
At this moment, on the northern outskirts of Zhonglong City, there was silence, and the sky was originally dark, but a little afterglow of Zhonglong City passed through the woods, making this dense forest look a little dim.
There was less than a moment left before the second watch, and after Nie Zhong shouted, there was still no response.
"Presumably they haven't arrived yet, Elder Mu, has City Lord Zhou already arrived?", Nie Zhong saw that the surroundings were too quiet, beware of an ambush on the other side.
"Back to the master, City Lord Zhou is rushing over with his friends, I believe that he will arrive here in a short time, no matter who it is, attack Elder Yufei, and dare to use this to threaten and blackmail my people from Hanjian Mountain, at that time, there will be City Lord Zhou and others to help, and he will definitely come and go!", Mu Liang said confidently.
"Having said that, it is better to be careful, the other party dares to be so blatant, and when he threw me the note again, I could not talk about his whereabouts, and it must not be easy to think of that person. ”。
Compared with Mu Liang, Nie Zhong was not so optimistic, what kept him haunted was the person who sent him the message, he rushed out as soon as possible, only to see Mu Liang who rushed out of the room like him.
In this 'Zhiya Pavilion Residence', he can come and go without a trace, and he can also hide from the sight of the Huang Pavilion Lord, who is a strong person in the transformation source, he must be a great power, but such a great power, at least he is also a strong person in the transformation source, why should he not get along with Hanjian Mountain? These mysteries made Nie Zhong dare to be uneasy.
Ying Caidie pulled the ring in her hand tightly, looking worried, the time had passed the agreed time, but the other party refused to show up, which made Ying Caidie even more worried about Yufei's safety, and after so long, Zhou Xiaotian and others had not yet arrived.
"They have been reluctant to show up for a long time, and the City Lord of Zhou has not arrived, so it is better for us to retreat first!", Nie Zhong felt that all this was too weird, if the other party was a strong person, there was no need to hide his head and show his tail at all, and after such a long time, with Zhou Xiaotian's cultivation, it was impossible that he had not arrived.
"Haha...... Master Nie, why rush to leave?", from the depths of the woods, there was a burst of laughter.
"Who is it? Why don't you dare to show up!", Nie Zhong's whole body was full of fire source energy, staring at the front where the voice came out.
"It's not good, there are people behind you!", Mu Liang felt the fluctuation of the source qi behind him, and immediately turned around, and also activated the earth source qi.
"Isn't it just so that you want to see you before you die?" In the woods, three black shadows appeared in the direction that Nie Zhong was facing, and a black shadow also appeared in the position that Mu Liang was facing.
"Douyuan realm!how could it be?", Nie Zhong obviously felt that the cultivation of the few people in front of him was only in the Douyuan realm.
"It's actually you?", as the black shadow approached, Nie Zhong finally saw the person in front of him clearly, they were none other than He Jinyuan, the second elder of the Blood Blade Mountain, and Qiu Hao, the head of the sect.
And the masked man behind them is not from Xingyue City, but Nie Zhong also recognizes him, he is the head of the "Quepeimen" of Siyang County, and Ban Que's cultivation is the same as Nie Zhong, and he is also a Douyuan Stage Consummation Realm cultivator.
And when Ying Caidie saw the woman with disheveled clothes, messy hair, and a haggard face, the tears in her eyes still couldn't help but slip down.
"Elder Yufei!", Nie Zhong saw Yufei's tortured appearance, as well as the 'Nayuan Stone Chain' all over his body, his eyes were red, staring at He Jinyuan and Qiu Hao, and his killing intent burst out.
Yufei's eyes were originally blank, but when she saw Ying Caidie and Nie Zhong, the corners of her mouth began to twitch, and she opened her mouth to make a hoarse voice, "Uh.. Forehead.....".
Along the way, she was dragged by He Jinyuan and others, she couldn't run the source qi, and she was so weak that she didn't even have the strength to speak, and Nie Zhong and the others couldn't hear what she said at all.
"Don't worry, your painful career is coming to an end later, hey, it's really ugly!", He Jinyuan looked contemptuous, he pinched Yufei's jaw, so that she couldn't even open her mouth.
"Let go of my master!", seeing He Jinyuan insulting Yufei so unscrupulously in front of him, Ying Caidie directly pulled out the 'Feather Bow' on his back and shot an arrow.
"Bang!", He Jinyuan is a martial artist in the realm of Douyuan after all, and it has been many years since he reached the realm of Douyuan, Ying Caidie's ordinary arrow full of anger, He Jinyuan easily dodged.
"Don't worry!", Nie Zhong stopped Ying Caidie, and then asked: "You are also a sect of Xingyue City, although your Blood Blade Mountain has a lot of friction with my Cold Sword Mountain, but you actually violated the rules and personally attacked the Great Elder of my Cold Sword Mountain, so sinister intentions, aren't you afraid that the City Lord of Zhou will know?"
Nie Zhong was quite calm, knowing that if he moved, the other party would have an extra Douyuan martial artist, and Ying Caidie would be in danger at that time, so he was delaying time while preparing to escape, although it was hopeless to rescue Yufei, but as long as he knew who did it, he would be able to rescue Yufei when the time came.
"Hahaha...... This matter is naturally kept secret, and there is no need to be reminded by Master Nie!", Qiu Hao looked like he was in control of everything.
"Also, Master Ban, you have no grievances with my Hanjian Mountain, why are you helping Blood Blade Mountain?"
"I really don't have any holiday with you in Hanjian Mountain, but Yufei, a slut, killed my sister many years ago, so naturally I won't let her go!", Ban Que gritted his teeth and said.
"Are you talking about Ban Xi, although her death has a certain connection with Yufei, but it was also caused by her own fault, I didn't expect that after many years, you still hold a grudge!"
Yufei disappeared, and Nie Zhong did investigate Ban Que, but she had been in retreat for the past few days and had not taken any action.
"Haha.... Someone sent her to the door, why don't I treat her well?", Ban Que smiled very distortedly.
"Okay, the old one is almost finished, it's almost time to send you on your way!!", He Jinyuan squinted his eyes and looked at Nie Zhong with a playful expression.
"Hehe.... Who will kill the deer, is it still unknown?" Nie Zhong saw that He Jinyuan and the others were about to make a move, and immediately waved out his palm, and a piece of fire-based source qi shot out, spraying like Qiu Hao and He Jinyuan.
At the same time, Nie Zhong secretly transmitted a message to Mu Liang, asking him to take Ying Caidie first, and after escaping, he immediately asked Zhou Xiaotian for help again.
However, it seems that they had long expected that Nie Zhong would make a move and run the source qi in advance, Qiu Hao and He Jinyuan easily prevented Nie Zhong's blow, and Ban Que immediately chased and killed Mu Liang, not giving Mu Liang a chance to escape at all.
Ying Caidie saw He Jinyuan and Qiu Hao hitting Nie Zhong together, and immediately rushed towards Yufei, but He Jinyuan didn't plan to give Ying Caidie a chance to save Yufei, and directly slammed Ying Caidie's side with a palm.
Ying Caidie couldn't dodge, and was shocked by the aftermath of He Jinyuan's source qi, took a step back, and blood overflowed from the corner of her mouth, but at this moment, a black shadow flew towards Yufei at a speed invisible to the naked eye.
The blue source qi of his whole body surged, and he picked up Yufei and came to Ying Caidie, this person was none other than the slender Qin Jun.
Seeing someone appear, He Jinyuan and Qiu Hao immediately stopped, and Mu Liang, who was not far away, was still fighting fiercely with Ban Que, and before Ying Caidie could ask clearly, why did he follow here, and how could he use the water system source qi, He Jinyuan shouted: "Who is here?"
"I'm the one who wants your life!", Qin Jun looked at Heyuan and Yuan, his eyes were tearing, his eyes were blood-red, and the murderous aura in his whole body made Ying Caidie a little jealous.
