Chapter 164: The Engagement (2)
Xiao Yan hurriedly stood up, gratefully clasped his fists at the four elders, and said solemnly: "Fourth elders, please rest assured, it is a blessing that Xiao Yan has cultivated for three lives to be accompanied by Mu'er for a lifetime. Xiao Yan hereby assures the eldest brother and the three elders that in this life and this life, I, Xiao Yan, will never abandon Mu'er, if I violate this word, Xiao Yan will die under the heart of ten thousand arrows! ”
'Little liar......
Qing Mu'er looked up at Xiao Yan, two lines of tears burst out of her eyes, slid down her cheeks, and shattered into a happy splash.
Well, the old man is relieved to have your words. A little satisfaction flashed in his eyes, and the four elders finally smiled, "On the big day, the old man is still grinding and chirping here, sweeping everyone's interest." Come on, hurry up and get the engagement ceremony done, and the old man wants to have a few drinks with everyone! ”
……
Xiao Yan and Qing Mu'er held hands, bowed to Qing Haoran and Xiao Yao respectively, and then exchanged engagement tokens.
Xiao Yan's engagement token to Qing Mu'er was a bloodstone ring specially selected by Zhen Ni, which was fiery and red, like Qing Mu'er's fiery character.
Qing Mu'er's engagement token to Xiao Yan is a strand of green silk from Qing Mu'er, tied with a red rope; There is also an eight-star magic core. The eight-star demon core was specially prepared by Qing Haoran for Xiao Yan, and he believed that for Xiao Yan, strength was the most important thing.
Xiao Yan and Qing Mu'er's engagement ceremony came to a successful end in a happy joy and good wishes.
…………
The weeds are green, and the first yang is rising.
Look at the township.
To the west of Wangxiang Township, there is a leafy maple forest.
The deepest part of the maple grove. There is a verdant lake.
In the center of the lake, there is a spiritual platform about 10 meters high. This spiritual platform is called 'Gao Jing Mingyue Platform', which is a wormhole specially set up by an eight-star Dou Emperor named Gao Jing before the ancient catastrophe in order to facilitate communication with his lover.
This wormhole is just the way to the medicine family's 'path to medicine'. At the peak of the medicine clan, it was borrowed by countless people seeking medicine. Because of this, Wangxiang Town was once crowded with people, and it was very prosperous for a while.
With the decline of the medicine clan, Gaojing Mingyuetai is now rarely cared about, and there have been no major incidents in Wangxiang Town for many years, and over time, Wangxiang Township, which was once lively and famous, has gradually been forgotten by people. It has become deserted and depressed, and now it is just an ordinary country town that can no longer be ordinary, and it is rare for outsiders to come. Occasionally, there are also vendors passing by.
Today, a black-robed young man came to Wangxiang Town.
Most of the vendors passing by were dressed in black robes, so. The local residents thought that the black-robed young man was also a trader.
But this black-robed young man was not a trader. He is Xiao Yan.
On the second day of his engagement to Qing Mu'er, in a casual conversation with everyone, Xiao Yan learned about the wormhole of 'Gaojing Mingyue Platform' from Xiao Zhan's mouth, and he had a specific idea to deal with the assassins of the Shadow Alliance and the assassins of the Dandian.
He knew that as soon as he left the Xiao Mansion, someone would follow him. He made a plan and pretended to be secretive all the way to Wangxiang Township. He believed that the assassins of the Shadow Alliance and the assassins of the Dandian would be able to guess where he was going and set up an ambush in advance.
A country land. The air was fresh, and I found the most humble inn to live in. As soon as he slept until midnight, Xiao Yan was refreshed.
'I think I've already set up an ambush. Don't let me down. Xiao Yan smiled smugly.
In the face of powerful enemies, Xiao Yan can still maintain his composure, even the mentality of a cat and a mouse, not only because he has broken through to the sixth star, and Long Yi is hiding in the Zichen Void Spirit Tower and can come out at any time to give the enemy an unexpected fatal blow, but also because he has the stealth card he got from the Soul Shadow Jue.
Taking off his black robe and wearing a black suit, Xiao Yan turned over and jumped out of the window and fled in the direction of the high mirror bright moon platform.
…………
The moon is dark and the wind is high, and it is a murderous night.
It is sparsely populated, and it is the most murderous place.
Obviously, the vast maple forest west of Wangxiang Township is such a place.
There is only one road from Wangxiang Town to Gaojing Mingyue Platform. It is a forest path that runs through the maple forest, and about 20 kilometers west of the trail leads to a lake with a wooden bridge leading to the high mirror moon platform in the middle of the lake.
Standing at the entrance of the path into the maple forest, looking into the deep woods, Xiao Yan cheered up and released the power of his soul.
With his current mid-stage soul power, a single thought could quickly cover the entire maple forest. But he harnessed the power of his soul, and gradually infiltrated the depths of the maple forest along the trail, cautiously probing in the dense forests on both sides of the path.
It is very likely that there are high-level alchemists among the people of the Dan Palace, and the power of the soul is not weak, if they are discovered, it will be in vain.
However, contrary to Xiao Yan's expectations, he only detected the fluctuations of the three people's fighting qi in the depths of the maple forest.
'Why are there only three of them?' It shouldn't be! ”
'The person hiding in the woods on the right has a slightly stronger fighting aura fluctuation than me, it should be the middle of the six-star period. The one hiding on the left, and the one on the right, the fighting qi fluctuates between the two middles, which should also be the middle of the six stars. The one a little bit inside, the fluctuation of the fighting spirit is stronger, it should be the late stage of the six-star. According to the inference of Zhenni and the eldest brother, these three people should be the killers of the Shadow Alliance. ”
Xiao Yan couldn't help but wonder: 'What about the people of the Dan Palace? It stands to reason that Dandian couldn't have found out my whereabouts! Didn't they even plan to send anyone to kill me again? ”
After thinking about it for no avail, Xiao Yan once again released his soul power and increased the scope of exploration. But after another round of careful investigation, the result was still the same as before.
Maybe it's because the ability to stalk and organize assassinations is not as professional as the Shadow Alliance, so they didn't arrive here in time to set up an ambush. Whatever, only the Shadow League is more in line with me, so let's solve the three people of the Shadow Alliance first. ”
The idea was certain, Xiao Yan flashed into the maple forest.
…………
Waiting quietly is the most boring and tedious, but professionalism can make the killer lurk like a rock.
Under a maple tree on the right side of the avenue, a middle-aged strong man in a black power suit with a black mask and only two eyes exposed, was patiently hiding among the weeds more than a meter high, staring at the path from Wangxiang Township for a moment.
His name is Xue Wuji, he is a six-star mid-stage Dou Emperor who is good at making guns, his marksmanship is sharp, his body is unique, and with the same strength, once he is sneak attacked, few people can get away with it.
'Damn Xiao Yan, no matter what means you have, if you dare to appear in front of Lao Tzu, Lao Tzu will definitely let you know what it means to have a gun like a dragon and seal your throat with a shot! ”
He was very unhappy. A mere four-star peak Dou Emperor has just broken through to five stars at most, and he actually sent a six-star late-stage Dou Emperor plus him and another six-star mid-stage Dou Emperor, even if he killed Xiao Yan, he felt that it was a shame.
Just as he was thinking so, suddenly, a purple-red flame suddenly slashed down from the sky above Xue Wuji's head. (To be continued......)
