Nine Half and Eight Yu Wei Xi decided to go north to the country of the cow, so they needed to pass through the country of the overlord to arrive. After a three-day journey from Laocheng, they finally approached the border between the country of the fox and the country of the hegemon, but they got lost in a forest.

At this time, it was already dusk, and the setting sun had dyed the sky a fiery red. The red hung down from the sky, straight down to the entire forest, and then quietly entered the hearts of Jiuhan and the others. At this time, they are very anxious to get on fire.

These three people are lost.

Hachiyu held a map in her hand, and she stared at it as if trying to see something out of it, but she didn't get anything but a sweat. Then, there was a "rustle" sound in the woods, and after a few breaths, Jiu Ban and Wei Xicheng fell from the woods and landed in front of her, and the faces of the two were also full of exhaustion.

"How's it going, have you found your way?" Hachiwa asked anxiously.

"Nope. Jiu Ban and Wei Xicheng glanced at each other, then shook their heads and said.

The heart that Eight Feathers was carrying suddenly fell, and his face was full of disappointment. As expected, the vague fear that had arisen from the beginning of looking at the map became a reality. Although this forest is not very large, and may not be as large as the size of a city in a city, it is actually one of the most terrifying places in the Nine Kingdoms. The map shows that it is known as the "Misty Forest", and although there is no mist, it has almost the same characteristics as Hachiha's own Tail Leaf Secret Realm: it is difficult for anyone to get out. It is a natural land of illusion, and only one plant called the "Phantom Tree" grows. On the surface, this "phantom tree" is actually no different from ordinary trees, but in fact, this "phantom tree" can automatically imitate the appearance of the plants next to it, so even if you are in the misty forest, you can see thousands of identical plants, and it is difficult to distinguish the road.

The trees in the Misty Forest, while not thick, are generally very tall. Many, many tall "phantom trees" gather together to form a forest, and tall trees shade the sun. Once one enters this misty forest, it becomes even more difficult to distinguish between east and west. Although the eight feathers and the others, who couldn't distinguish between the southeast and the northwest, had never stopped, they had actually been spinning around in this misty forest. It stands to reason that this misty forest is not very large, and as long as you walk in a straight line, you can get out quickly. But if you keep taking the circular route, how can you get out of the maze? Therefore, since the morning of that day, after invisibly entering this misty forest, Hachiyu and the others have been circling and turning around. Now that the sun is about to set, the sun is already half the red sky. If he didn't take advantage of the sunset to get out of the misty forest, Hachiyu was really worried about what would happen to the three of them.

Forcibly calming himself down, Ba Yu looked at Wei Xi Cheng and Jiu Ban with some concern and said, "Do you want to hear a bad news?"

"You say, it's fine. Nine and a half said.

"We're in the Misty Forest, and it's hard to get out of it now. Hachiha's brow furrowed even tighter, and her hand holding the map began to sweat, "But we must get out of the Misty Forest before it gets dark." This misty forest is the most terrifying place in the Nine Kingdoms in my memory, and no one has ever known what will happen here after dark. It's late afternoon and we're running out of time......"

Jiuhan and Wei Xicheng glanced at each other, and their eyes showed consternation. They really didn't expect that they would inadvertently step into the confines of the Misty Forest. After thinking for a while, Wei Xicheng said, "Then it's without further ado. Eight feathers, you wait here, if you act on your own, I'm really afraid that something will go wrong with you. Nine and a half and I will look for the way again, and the person who finds it will come back to pick you up immediately, is that okay?"

"En!" Seeing Wei Xicheng's gaze, Jiuhan gave a firm response.

Eight Feathers also agreed with Wei Xicheng's idea and said, "Okay, you guys go and come back quickly." I'll find some wood and make a fire, and you will come to me by the light of the fire, so that it will be more convenient. ”

"Okay, without further ado, let's get moving. Wei Xicheng said.

Immediately, he and Jiuhan each turned around and rushed into the woods around them again, while Hachiyu drew an extremely sharp axe with his magic pen, and began to look for relatively dwarf trees little by little, ready to see them split into firewood and make fire. It's hard to imagine how her thin shoulders could handle the trees of the misty forest.

Somewhere in the misty forest, a man was strolling around as if he were walking in his own backyard. This person was wearing a gray-white robe, and the light of the setting sun reflected on his face through the layers of "phantom trees", flickering and dimming, and it was not real. Although the off-white robe is ordinary, it is even more flattering to the extraordinary temperament of the person wearing the robe. What kind of person can wear clothes with ordinary styles and colors to a very high-end feeling? Of course, he is a good-looking person.

How to describe this man's pretty face? If there is Yan Ruyu in the book and the golden house in the book, then he is the Yan Ruyu in the book and the kind that can make people give up the golden house. If he is put together with Pan An and Zou Ji, then others are willing to exchange Zou Ji and Pan An for him. Beautiful, handsome actually does not apply to this man's face, and only the word "beauty" is suitable. This kind of beauty is not simply good-looking or temperamental, but almost everyone will like it at first sight and will always like it at second and third sight. So, this is a kind of beauty that transcends gender.

And the owner of this beauty is named Zhu Yan.

Zhu Yan's identity is the head of the country of mocking winds, and he is a beautiful man who is rare to see in the world, but there are too few people who can see his face. At this moment, Zhu Yandu was in the misty forest, he knew that he would get lost as soon as he entered here, and he also knew that it would be difficult for him to get out after he came in. But it didn't matter, he didn't want to go out in the first place, he just wanted to try his luck.

A few days ago, his spies in Laocheng had sent news that the Fallen Prince, Jiuhan, and his two companions had set out from Laicheng to the north, and the target might be one of the two countries, Baxia or Prisoner Niu. Earlier, the Emperor of the Mocking Wind gave Zhu Yan a death order to catch the nine and a half, and to see the corpse if he lived, and the movements of the spies must be under the nose of the monarch. Therefore, Zhu Yan, who got the news, had to bring troops to catch Jiuban and others before they entered the territory of Baxia. Although Zhu is disgusted with talent, although Zhu is the direct commander of the Three Kingdoms Alliance. This stunningly beautiful genius warlock possesses military prowess that is hard to find in the Nine Kingdoms, but despite this, he is a conservative pacifist, and in fact, in the heart of this mocking general, he does not want war to spread, and attacking the country of the losers is nothing more than "the king makes the ministers die and the ministers have to die".

At this moment, the 1,000 pro-army he led was already besieged in the northern realm of the misty forest, and no matter how good the cultivation of the nine-and-a-half group was, his pro-army had a way to hold it back for a while. And Zhu Yan, who got the news at that time, had enough time to rush to the north of the Misty Forest to capture the nine and a half with his own hands, and there would definitely be no mistakes. But at this time, Zhu Yan was still just running around in the misty forest alone, and it had been more than half a day. Even though it was already necessary to capture Nine-and-a-half, he still wanted to talk to him before he officially caught him. There are some things that have been in the heart of this mocking general for a long time, and they have to be said.

Nine and a half brushed aside the leaves in front of him, and suddenly there was an open space in front of him. Why, could it be that he went around again and returned to Bayu's side? Jiuhan, who was puzzled, looked up, but his heart suddenly tightened, and his expression was surprised. He only saw a man in gray and white clothes standing in front of him, this person was obviously not Hachiyu anymore, and that face, the memory was a little trance, as if he had seen it before.

Jiu Ban looked at it carefully, and then said with some stumbling: "You...... You were ...... back then."

Zhu Yan, who was dressed in gray and white clothes, stood there quietly and said with a smile: "That's right, nine and a half, we meet again." ”

"You are the one who helped Lu Shu open the power of divine practice at that time!" Jiu Ban leaned forward and said with some excitement. He had an impression of the handsome and unusually handsome man in front of him, when he first led Lu Shu from Tan Yiju to embark on the journey, it was this man who helped Lu Shu open up the ability of divine action. And in the days that followed, Lu Shu, who had opened the ability of divine practice, helped him get out of danger several times, so in fact, in Jiuhan's heart, he was quite grateful to this unknown warlock.

stepped forward and gave a salute to Zhu Yan's fist, and Jiu Ban said: "I don't know the name of Mr. yet? It is a blessing for the younger generation to be able to meet Mr. again." ”

"It doesn't matter what the name is, it's just a code name. Hearing Jiuhan's words, Zhu Yan smiled, "I heard about your deeds after the separation that day, and you retreated from a country's soldiers alone, Jiuhan couldn't have done anything more right." It seems that the one I helped you inadvertently did not do anything wrong. ”

Listening to Zhu Yan's words, Jiu Ban scratched his head a little embarrassedly and said, "Where is it...... That's what juniors should do. ”

Zhu Yan's expression was still soft, and at this time he looked at Jiu Ban's eyes and said quietly: "Jiu Ban, do you want to know my name?"

"That's right, please let me know. ”

"Actually, I only learned about your existence and what you did recently," Zhu Yan's expression gradually became serious, "I have a question that I have always wanted to ask you, and I will tell you my name after you give me an answer, how about it?"

"Senior, please speak. ”

"You, Jiuhan, the prince of the fallen country of the negative country, do you want to be the strongest man in the world, or do you want to calm the chaos in the world and return a peaceful and prosperous era in these nine countries?" The coercion of being a superior person gradually rose, and it was not a sense of suppression unique to the saints of the Holy Realm, but there was still a pressure that gradually appeared in Jiuhan's heart. Through those eyes, Nine and a Half seemed to see the deep starry sky and the vast world.

The eyes are open to the heart.

Almost without any hesitation, Jiuhan replied: "What I want is ten thousand years of peace in this world, and there will be no more strife." ”

Although he didn't know what the name and purpose of the senior standing in front of him at the moment was, Jiu Ban still said the truest thoughts in his heart straightforwardly. In this world, there are people born all the time, some people are dying, and some people are alive as if they are dead, and life is better than death. All life and death should be determined by heaven, and everyone wants to die, but this kind of thinking seems to be hopeless in some people, and war is the biggest factor causing this hope to disappear. Man, why should we die for the sake of dying? It shouldn't be, and it's not necessary. No one is obliged to die for the benefit of a few people, so Jiuhan must end the wars and strife in the nine countries, not just restore the country that has lost its country.

Hearing Jiu Ban's answer, Zhu Yan breathed a sigh of relief, he got the answer he wanted. Looking at Jiu Ban's face whose excitement had not yet dissipated, he said softly: "It may not be a good thing to know my identity, are you sure you still want to listen?"

Hearing this, Jiu Ban hesitated for a moment, and then said: "The grace of dripping water should be reciprocated by the spring, and I hope that the seniors can tell the juniors your name, even if you repay the favor in the future, you will have a place to go." ”

"Okay, you're good then. Zhu Yan secretly took a breath as if he was under great pressure, and then said: "I am the general of the country of mocking winds, Zhu Yan." ”

When Zhu Yan, the general of the country of the mocking wind, and the country of the mocking wind, these words merged into Jiuhan's mind at the same time, and his whole person seemed to have been struck by thunder and lightning, and he was instantly stunned. Isn't the country of the mocking wind a member of the Triple War Alliance that destroyed the country of the losers? Isn't the leader of the country of the mocking wind, Zhu Yan? Isn't that the rumored commander of the Three Kingdoms Alliance and the core figure in the military war?

The name Zhu Yan was said by Wu Liangzi. This Zhu Yan is an unborn peerless genius, not only in the practice of magic attainments are extremely high, but also at a young age to reach the peak of the realm, known as the most promising young generation to catch up with the young master of the master, but also has a strong military attainments. At the age of less than forty, he can occupy the high position of the head of a country, and one can imagine how far he has reached in his cultivation in commanding the army and controlling the battlefield.

Jiu Ban had thought about the day he would meet Zhu Yan, but he never thought that he would meet him in this situation. After all, the person in front of him is his benefactor to some extent.

Secretly shook his hands, and Jiu Ban suddenly found that the palms of those hands were already dripping with sweat. Unconsciously, he lowered his head slowly, and the position of his eyes slowly moved from Zhu Yan's eyes to the other party's feet, and he was silent and stopped talking.

Seeing the state of the ninth half, the guilt in Zhu Yan's heart slowly increased unconsciously, and he said, "I know you can't accept this ...... for a while."

"It's not just that I can't accept it," Jiu Ban raised his head suddenly, his voice trembled, his eyes were blood-red, as if a flame was about to erupt from that skull, "You destroy my burden, kill my father, and combine the power of the three kingdoms to make thousands of my people become people under the people, this can be explained by a sentence of 'unacceptable'?"

At this moment, Zhu Yan is indeed speechless. In fact, no matter when, no matter how Zhu Yan explained the matter of leading troops to overthrow the country of the negative people, he couldn't take himself out. Although the Three Kingdoms War Alliance was founded by the monarchs of the Three Kingdoms, the title of "Commander of the Coalition Army" on Zhu Yan's head was really detained by the monarchs of the Three Kingdoms and could not break free. In the final analysis, Zhu Yan is just a citizen of the country of mocking winds, he is not a monarch or a royal family, so naturally there is no possibility of refusal. Between being treated as a butcher and being put to death, I think whoever would choose the former, right?

Looking at Jiuhan's eyes, Zhu Yan shook his head and said, "I know you don't want to hear my explanation now, so be it." ”

"No need to explain, you go to die!" Jiu Ban opened his mouth, and before the words fell, he rushed out, and the cultivation of the Holy Realm above and below his body suddenly converged on his right fist, and smashed into Zhu Yan's position with one punch. It was an extremely condensed punch, as if it had shaken the void, making the space near the fist sway a little. Then, with a thunderous momentum, the punch "slammed" on the ground, missed, and stirred up bursts of dust.

Didn't hit.

After Jiuhan landed, he just wanted to turn back to find Zhu Yan's location, but the ground under his feet suddenly changed. An array of rattans suddenly appeared, forming a body that enveloped Nine and a Half from the bottom up, and then suddenly contracted inward, firmly restraining Nine and a Half body.

"You get some sleep first, and we'll talk when you're calm. Zhu Yan's voice appeared in Jiuban's ears, and then he suddenly felt the rattan bound on his body tighten instantly, and the next moment he lost consciousness and couldn't feel anything.
