Yuan Lai chased along a deserted path towards the tall and thin black shadow, which disappeared into the darkness and avoided the figure, but instead of jumping out of the wall as he expected, he left straight through the gate. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info

Yuan Lai thought about it and followed, but it was far away, although he didn't know how much the other party cultivated, but he knew that at least he was not his opponent in stealth tracking, so he followed extremely carefully, and when he saw the other party disappearing into a street alley, he didn't follow, but turned to another road and walked slowly.

He knew in his heart that it was best to return to Xiyuan to eat, drink and feast regardless of the peace of mind, but he was also curious, especially the coldness of the knife that the other party had attached to his neck that day was still vivid, Yuan Lai had an indifferent attitude towards ordinary trivial matters, but for the enemy from this certain angle, he was unwilling to treat the former hostility as if it had never happened.

There are very few pedestrians on the road, and the shops on both sides are closed and then turn into silent houses.

He listened closely, and the footsteps of the tall and thin man faded away, and he followed, and after walking for a while, the footsteps disappeared. Yuan Lai's heart tightened, but he didn't notice the hostility coming from the darkness, he looked up at the half-dim bright moon, the lights of the West Garden in the distance were still clearly recognizable, but this did not make him feel at ease, and a strange feeling of depression and uneasiness filled his heart out of nowhere.

Yuan Lai stopped for a while, feeling irritable in his heart, so he could only continue walking along the road, and when he lost the trace of the man, he began to wander aimlessly.

While walking, he began to think in his heart, Xu Jingtang's reason for coming out was to arrest evil cultivators, but his experience along the way also clearly told him that the so-called arrest of evil cultivators was really untrue, Xu Jingtang had a clear goal, and he went straight to Bacheng when he came out of Beijing, and someone intercepted him on the way, and the purpose seemed to be delaying their trip.

After Xu Jingtang arrived in Bacheng, he didn't move, but just scattered Yulinwei throughout the city, there was no notice in the city, and the local officers and soldiers did not coordinate, this is not like searching for someone, but it is more like waiting for something.

Arrest the cult or wait for the cult?

Han Baohu in the northwest returned at this time but didn't do anything else, just kept looking at Xu Jingtang and didn't let go, what does this look like? Yuan Lai felt that this was like containment, Han Baohu forcibly restrained Xu Jingtang, and those enemies in the dark may be the Northwest Frontier Army according to Xie Caiwei, and the tall and thin man must be one of them, so what is the purpose of the two people gathering in the overlord?

Yuan Lai was still thinking, but he stopped suddenly, the road ahead was smooth, but he smelled a trace of blood.

The smell of blood was so slight that it was almost impossible for ordinary people to smell it. He closed his eyes and tried his best to touch the world with his senses, and in a trance he seemed to "see" a dark shadow, and slowly the shadow became clear, and he found that it was night, and there was a pale red blood in the dark night that slowly drifted away like a mist, and he slowly followed the source of the blood mist and saw a broken wall vaguely.

Yuan Lai opened his eyes, his gaze projected into the darkness in the distance, he didn't know that the feeling just now was actually the initial form of the awakening of divine consciousness, he didn't want to explore it at the moment, his mind was still haunted by that blood qi, and after thinking about it, he finally walked over.

It was a cracked wall hidden in an alleyway, the old wall had collapsed into a gap, the masonry was piled up in a mess, and the air was filled with an old smell.

Yuan Lai stopped before the opening, and did not dare to enter, but he looked in but saw that it was pitch black.

This is obviously abnormal, this place should not be so dark, the stars are shining, there is always light between heaven and earth, it is too dark in it, so it looks very dazzling, like a black ink stain on a gray curtain, extremely eye-catching.

Yuan Lai carefully climbed the moon crane with one hand, leaned forward, and looked into the ruins of the broken wall......

From the center of darkness, a blood-stained blade emerges!

The sword was straight but full of gaps, and the blood stains drowned out its original color, and it stabbed out silently, without a trace of wind, nor with a trace of murderous aura and chill, and stabbed out unremarkably, catching Yuan Lai off guard. However, after all, he was on guard, and at the same time as the sword stabbed at him, Yuan Lai's body retreated sharply, and he could retreat to the distance of the blood sword before the sword blade was stained.

Almost instantly, fine beads of sweat oozed from Yuan Lai's forehead, and he was afraid of a surge after a while.

He decisively drew his sword, and the vitality was raised, and just as the vitality in his body was about to burst out, the sword that stabbed straight out suddenly fell to the ground, and the crisp sound suddenly made all his movements stop.

He saw a figure slowly emerging from the center of the darkness, it should be a man, leaning on it, the man was staring at the young man who was making a defensive gesture outside the wall with a pair of bloodshot eyes, the eyes should be vicious, but not all, Yuan Lai seemed to recall the caged beast he had seen in a trance, it seemed to be similar eyes, but obviously this man was a little softer and more humane.

The darkness faded quickly, and the starlight spilled into this area, and Yuan Lai could see the appearance of this person clearly, he was covered in blood, the original red blood stains were like silhouettes under the starlight, showing a deep dark color, he leaned against a fallen wall, covered with scars, one arm hung softly at his side, and the other arm covered with wounds was resting on his knees.

The sword was apparently stabbed by this arm.

For a while, the young man outside the gap in the wall and the man inside were speechless, Yuan Lai's knife did not make the slightest movement, did not cut out, and did not put it down, and the man's gaze became calm, maybe there was viciousness and ruthlessness at first, but at this time it slowly disappeared, and the rest was most of the vigilance and the small half of the calm, and then there was ...... It's a hint of scrutiny.

Yuan Lai was also looking at this Zheng Shibai, which made Zheng Shibai very surprised, because he didn't expect that this pampered young man's eyes were so steady.

There is no sharp sharpness or weakness of a young man, and there is no fear that ordinary people should have, if he is bold and not afraid, he should have a lot of curiosity, but these emotions are not prominent in the eyes of this young man, the most is stability, a kind of stability after seeing the wind and waves, a kind of stability with rich experience, this should not appear at his age, so Zheng Shibai had a trace of curiosity.

Finally, Yuan Lai tentatively lowered the knife down a few points, and when he saw that the man did not move, he dropped a few more points.

After the crane's blade blocked in front of him at a downward angle, Yuan Lai finally spoke.

When his lips moved, Zheng Shibai subconsciously revealed a murderous aura, but fortunately, Yuan Lai did not shout, but asked in a very low voice, "Who are you?"
