Qingcheng, an ancient old city located in the hinterland of the spiritual realm. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info

Qingcheng is just like its name, plain as water, there is nothing special about it, there are more than 100,000 people, more than 1,000 houses, there are no sects or businesses here, and there are not even gangs. Most of the people live here for generations, and it has been passed down from generation to generation in Qingcheng for dozens of generations, Qingcheng has nothing outstanding in the thousands of towns in the spiritual realm, and there has never been an earth-shattering thing for hundreds of years, and there has never been a big man who has been famous in all directions, and the most famous characters who have come out of Qingcheng in the past hundred years are only a little charming, but that was also a few decades ago, and the so-called mediocrity is the best interpretation of 'Qingcheng'.

Qingcheng should have continued to belong to its quiet tranquility until a hundred years and a thousand years, but in the past two months, the inside and outside of Qingcheng suddenly changed the old and began to become lively, and more and more outsiders came and went to Qingcheng, bringing a trace of vitality and business opportunities to the local people for this originally lifeless old city. The reason is actually very simple, just because Qingcheng is the only town within a hundred miles of Loulan Lingjing Valley.

After leaving Qingcheng and walking in the direction of Lingjing Valley, there are only scattered villages left, and most of the houses in those villages have been sold early by speculative merchants. Therefore, more people can only choose to settle in the Qing City, which is relatively far away, and the Five Domains Spirit Banquet has attracted countless martial arts cultivators from all directions to have a look, so most of the people who come and go to Qing City are martial arts cultivators from all over the world.

For Qingcheng, if one or two outsiders occasionally appear on the streets of Qingcheng, it may be extremely eye-catching, but in the past two months, the streets are full of outsiders with swords and swords, and the people of Qingcheng are naturally not surprised, many people will clean out their houses and rent a few rooms to these outsiders at a high price, and even more will vacate their own bedrooms to rent to outsiders at a high price, but their own family is sleeping in a stable or firewood room to make do, the purpose is to take the opportunity to earn more gold and silver.

As Qingcheng becomes more and more lively, although most of the people earn full of money bags, and they are full of joy all day long, but the city lord and the city army of Qingcheng are getting more and more headaches, because this time they are all martial artists of various sects and factions, and eight of these martial artists are hot-tempered, and no one obeys each other. Sometimes, when it affects the people in the Qing City, the people will go to the city lord for help, and if someone dies in the territory under his jurisdiction, he can't turn a deaf ear to the city lord? On weekdays, there has not been a single disorder in Qingcheng for ten years or eight years, so for the city lord and the city army of Qingcheng, they have long been accustomed to a comfortable life, and where have they seen this kind of bloody scene of broken arms and legs? Even when the city army arrived, they did not dare to rashly dissuade them, and many times when those who were fighting in the streets left, the city soldiers did not even dare to stop them, and could only wait for the two groups of people to finish fighting and stop, and then come out to clean up the mess on the street, and that's it.

Now there are only seven days left before the Five Domains Spirit Banquet on the first day of the first lunar month.

At noon, in a remote dilapidated courtyard in the northwest of Qingcheng, two haggard people were trembling and kneeling in the courtyard to quickly tell something to the room, and after the two of them finished speaking, two bags of Jinbei were thrown out of the room, and the two quickly took Jinbei away and kowtowed to the room a few times, and then hurriedly turned around and left the broken courtyard.

"It seems that Lu Yifan is really not in the team of the Soul Sect, everything is as we guessed before, the more than 2,000 people of the Soul Sect are just a suspicious soldier laid by Lu Yifan!" In the room, a cold woman's voice slowly came out, and then I saw a black shadow slowly walking out of the room, this woman's stunning face showed a cold color, and her slightly narrowed eyes were even more profound, she was the mysterious woman who had secretly seen Xie Feng in the Tide Inn in the West Imperial City, Yufeng.

"Being able to escape the two ambushes of Jinmen Pass and the Two Realms Forest in a row, it seems that this Lu Yifan really has some ability!" At this moment, Bai Sha still has that smiling and kind appearance, "Miss, do you want me to make a ......move?"

"If this matter could have been dealt with personally, it would have been solved a long time ago, so why did it drag on until now?" Yufeng's mood was obviously extremely bad, even if he answered Bai Sha's question, his tone was cold and scary, "Zhu Wushou of Jinmen Pass is just a stupid person, I am not surprised that he can't fight Lu Yifan, but what happened in the forests of the two realms is different." In the two realms, Lin Lu Yifan and they were supposed to die, but because of the traitors in the Rakshasa Gate, it would be a big deal, plus such a group of useless wine bags and rice bags......" Yufeng's words couldn't help but look at him fiercely, and then shouted angrily without looking back, "What are you still hiding in the room? Get out of here for Miss Ben!"

"Yes......"

Hearing Yufeng's words, a figure hurriedly trotted out of the room, this person came to the courtyard and looked left and right again a few times, and after confirming that the two spies had gone away just now, he knelt down in front of Yufeng with a frightened face, and pleaded guilty again and again: "The villain in the forest of the two realms is not good at doing things, and he has failed the trust of Miss, please punish Miss!"

If the thin man kneeling in front of Yufeng at this moment was seen by Lu Yifan, he must be no stranger at all, because this person was the head of the black-clothed man who colluded with Kang Mazi and others to kill Lu Yifan and several people in the forest of the Two Realms, the Taibao of the Nanling Academy of the Qi Family Chamber of Commerce, Wen Jian.

"Hmph! The only thing you are stronger than Wei Bao is that you know how to escape in times of crisis!" Yufeng looked down at Wen Jian with cold eyes, and said in a cold sarcastic tone, "In terms of ability to do things, you are the same as Wei Bao, you are a waste who has not achieved enough things and has more than enough failures!"

"Yes, yes, Miss taught me a lesson...... Wen Jian didn't dare to refute in front of Yufeng, so she could only nod her head again and again, "The villain is a waste, this time in the forest of the two realms, Lu Yifan was originally unable to fly, but the villain escaped by him in the melee because of negligence, the villain should die!"

"I'll ask you one last time, the master sent by the Rakshasa Sect is called Viper......" Obviously, Yufeng didn't know Vi Jin, so much so that she couldn't even call Vi Jin's name, only knew that there was such a person.

"It's Vi Jin!" Wen Jian cautioned.

"Yes, Zhen Jin, did he really take refuge in Lu Yifan?" Yufeng asked in disbelief, "You have to think clearly, this is related to the reputation of the Rakshasa Gate, if you make up nonsense, he will be investigated by the Lord of the Rakshasa Gate in the future, and Miss Ben will not be able to protect you at that time!"

"The villain swears to the sky, Vi Jin really took refuge in Lu Yifan!" Wen Jian raised three fingers and swore to the sky with a serious face, "If there was no Vi Jin to help them that day, Lu Yifan and they would not have had a chance to break out of the encirclement!"

"Okay, Miss Ben will definitely ask Feng Chenghuang for an explanation for this matter!" Yufeng snorted coldly, and after that, she walked slowly in front of Wen Jian, leaned down slightly, and stared straight at Wen Jian with a pair of beautiful eyes that flickered with light, so frightened that Wen Jian didn't dare to look at him at all, just like this, Yufeng stared at Wen Jian for a long time before she suddenly opened her mouth and said, "You recognize Qi Shan?"

"Yes......" Wen Jian swallowed a mouthful of saliva with difficulty in his throat, and his voice sounded a little trembling at this moment, looking at his restless appearance, it seemed that he had already expected something bad in his heart.

"So, Qi Shan also recognizes you?" Yufeng asked with a smirk.

Hearing Yufeng's words, Wen Jian's body trembled suddenly, and her lips turned white and trembled. He didn't dare to admit it directly, but he didn't dare to deceive Yufeng. In the end, he could only nod his head heavily.

"Smack!"

Sure enough, at the moment when Wen Jian nodded, Yufeng suddenly threw out a fierce slap with his backhand and slapped it directly on Wen Jian's face, Wen Jian was slapped by Yufeng's mouth and nose with blood, and five red fingerprints appeared on his cheeks, and after a while, it was red and swollen, but even so, Wen Jian's body kneeling on the ground still didn't dare to move for half a minute, and after being beaten, he had to apologize again and again.

"You were found out, but you didn't kill them in the end?" Yu Fengqi's face turned blue, and a pair of terrifying gods hated to eat Wen Jian alive, "Do you know what the consequences of this will be?"

"Villain...... The villain knows......" Wen Jian lowered his head at the moment and didn't look up, he was terrified to the extreme, "But Wei Bao showed his face first, I thought it was impossible for them to get out of the Two Realms Forest alive, so I ......"

"Smack!"

Without waiting for Wen Jian to finish speaking, Yufeng shook his hand suddenly, and another loud slap was slapped on his face, and the red marks on his five fingers deepened a little again, and even faintly oozing blood.

"Do you think?Did you think the thing succeeded in the end?" Yufeng snorted coldly again, "Have you ever thought that if you were identified by Qi Shan, Miss Ben will also suffer in the future?"

"Miss rest assured, even if the villain dies, he will never betray Miss!" Wen Jian gritted her teeth and promised, "Even if the villain suffers a thousand cuts, I will never drag Miss down......"

Yufeng's face softened a little when she heard this, only to see her slowly stand up straight, and said in a cold tone: "If you show your appearance, it is actually equivalent to being dead, do you understand?"

"The villain understands. At this moment, even if Wen Jian couldn't understand what Yufeng was saying at all, he could only follow Yufeng's words.

"But why did Miss Ben let you continue to live?" Yufeng suddenly asked.

"It's because ...... Miss Kindness ......"

"No!" Yufeng looked down at Wen Jian contemptuously and shook her head slowly, sneering unhurriedly, "Miss Ben kept you because the time has not yet come, and seven days later will be the Five Domains Spirit Banquet, and by that time, only one of Lu Yifan, them, and you will be able to appear in the Spirit Mirror Valley alive!

Wen Jian's throat tightened violently when she heard this, and then she hurriedly nodded and said, "Miss means that the villain understands, I will definitely kill them within seven days!"

"When Lu Yifan only had a few people around him, you couldn't kill them with 20,000 people, and now that he has recovered his identity, there are still 1,500 Soul Sect disciples around him, plus 5,000 guards given to him by Zheng Qin, more than 6,000 people are protecting him day and night, and there are many masters like Vi Jin and Liu Sandao around him, do you think you have a chance to start?" Yufeng sarcastically said mercilessly, "It's not that Miss Ben looks down on you, it's just that you and Lu Yifan are fighting, it's still far away!"

"Miss taught me a lesson!" Wen Jian personally learned Lu Yifan's skills, and at this moment, when life and death were at stake, he naturally didn't dare to be self-righteous anymore, so he could only nod humbly and said, "The villain really can't fight them, and please ask the young lady to give you some advice, if the young lady has a more suitable candidate in her heart, the villain must saddle up before and after the horse, and obey his orders!"

"Hmph!" Seeing Wen Jian's unassuming appearance, Yufeng's anger didn't come to one place, so after hearing Wen Jian's words, he didn't answer him directly, but snorted coldly and turned around and went back to the house, and Hei Xia hurriedly followed. In the courtyard, only Wen Jian, who was kneeling on the ground, with a blank face, and Bai Sha, who was standing in front of him with a smile on his face, were left.

"Bai Lao, what does Miss mean by this? Is it that Miss can't trust me anymore?" Wen Jian turned her eyes for help to Bai Sha, and asked with a humble attitude, "Bai Lao, I ......"

"Huh!" Without waiting for Wen Jian to finish speaking, Bai Sha waved his hand at him with a smile, and then leaned over to lift Wen Jian up, and dusted off the dust on his robe for him with his hand, "Mr. Wen, hurry up, it's not that Miss doesn't believe you, on the contrary, Miss believes in you more and more!"

"Believe me more and more?" Wen Jian was confused by the white words, "Why did that young lady just ignore me as if she was angry......"

"If Miss is really angry with you, then you are already dead, how can you have the opportunity to kneel here and listen to Miss reprimand?" Bai Sha patiently explained, "The more Miss scolds you, the more she believes in you and wants to reuse you." Once upon a time did you see such a big tantrum in the young lady, and she scolded you because you did something worse than she expected. In other words, Mademoiselle has high hopes for you!"

"Miss......" Wen Jian suddenly felt remorse and self-blame in his heart when he heard Bai Sha's words, and at the same time, his eyes couldn't help but turn red, "I failed Miss......

"But even so, Miss still can't bear to kill you, why is that?" Bai Sha continued, and then smiled confidently under the gentle and earnest gaze, "It's because Miss she wants to give you one more chance to make up for your mistakes." ”

"I understand this, but why is Miss still angry when I made up my mind just now?" Wen Jian shook her head in confusion and said, "Isn't what I said wrong?"

"It's not just wrong, it's just a big mistake and a big mistake!" Bai Xu looked at Wen Jian rather complainingly, "What did you just say?" you said that no matter who the young lady is looking for this time, you will saddle up and obey the horse's orders, this is clearly a subordinate appearance. Don't forget that you are Miss's cronies, no matter who Miss finds to deal with Lu Yifan, she is considered an outsider, how can there be a reason for an outsider to be the master and her own person to be a subordinate in this matter?"

Hearing Bai Sha's words, Wen Jian suddenly nodded violently.

"I see! Although I am not doing well this time, Miss does not want me to lose confidence completely because of this, and Miss still wants me to be the master of what I want to do next, and outsiders will obey my orders......

"It's good that you understand some things in your heart!" Before Wen Jian finished speaking, Bai Sha suddenly interrupted, "You don't have to say it so clearly, no one listens to anyone, you just need to remember that you are Miss's person, no matter what you do, don't lose Miss's prestige!"

"Bai Lao's words have been memorized!" Wen Jian listened to Bai Sha's words like seeing the blue sky through the clouds, and there was a burst of joy in his heart at the moment, only to see his eyes roll, and then leaned forward and asked in a low voice, "Bai Lao, do you know who the young lady is looking for this time......?"

"Bang, bang!"

Before Wen Jian could finish speaking, the wooden door of the broken courtyard was suddenly slammed, and there were three crisp knocks in a row, knocking on both sides, with the same rhythm. Apparently some kind of code pre-set. Looking at Bai Sha again, he suddenly reached out and gently patted Wen Jian's shoulder, and then raised his head slightly towards the courtyard gate, and the smile on his face became even thicker.

"Mr. Wen doesn't need to be curious, the person Miss is looking for has already arrived!"
