Shu Lie explained: "Those families who want to kill the Lord of the Nine Realms are all branches of the Nine Great Families of the Heavenly Realm, which is the so-called collateral lineage. Legend has it that the Lord of the Nine Realms will subvert the Nine Great Families, so they want to kill the Lord of the Nine Realms in advance to avoid being subverted by the Lord of the Nine Realms. And we, the collateral families who are not the Nine Great Realms, want to keep the Lord of the Nine Realms, the purpose is to be able to follow the Lord of the Nine Realms to get some light and enter the Heavenly Realm after the Lord of the Nine Realms subverts the Nine Great Families, after all, the Heavenly Realm is not comparable to the Middle Heaven Realm in terms of cultivation resources or the size of the region. ”

After listening to Shu Lie's words, Li Xiuyan couldn't help but smile, "So that's ......"

The shame on Shu Lie's face was even stronger, "That's why when you said before that I would save you, I would ...... You know it, huh?"

"Uh-huh, I see. Li Xiuyan was speechless for a while, and finally understood why Shu Lie and Gu Chi were on their side in Tianming Mountain in the first place. Sure enough, water is all sourced, trees are rooted, and there is not so much love for no reason in the world, and there is not so much hatred for no reason.

"Brother Li, you won't blame me, will you?" asked Shu Lie tentatively.

Li Xiuyan smiled at him, "No." ”

"Really?"

"Of course it's true. Before Tianmingshan, you and I had never met, and there was no grudge, why should I ask you to stand on my side? So for whatever reason, you and Gu Chi can stand on my side, I can only be grateful in my heart, not to mention that you really saved me at that time, how can I blame you? Plus now, you have told me the truth, proving that you are an upright person who is worthy of deep friendship, the past, let it pass with time, what do you say?"

Shu Lie was overjoyed when he heard this, "This is naturally the best." ”

Then I suddenly thought of something, but I wanted to stop talking.

Li Xiuyan roughly guessed what he wanted to ask, but now, Li Xiuyan didn't really want to answer his question, so he changed the topic.

Shu Lie is also a very knowledgeable person, seeing this, he didn't ask the doubts in his heart, because no matter what the answer is, his life was saved by Li Xiuyan, not to mention that he really has nowhere to go now, even if Li Xiuyan is not the legendary Lord of the Nine Realms, he also plans to follow Li Xiuyan, because in Li Xiuyan's body, he feels a unique attraction.

Chu Qianhan walked over at this time, his eyes only stayed on Shu Lie's body for a moment, then he turned to Li Xiuyan's body and asked Li Xiuyan, "It's almost time to go, right?"

Li Xiuyan nodded, introduced Chu Qianhan and Shu Lie to each other, and then asked Shu Lie, "How is your injury, are you okay?"

Shu Lie looked at Chu Qianhan a little distracted, and when he heard Li Xiuyan's question, he suddenly came back to his senses, saying that his injury was no longer serious, and he could go on the road at any time.

However, just as Li Xiuyan, Chu Qianhan, and Shu Lie were on the way to Yecheng, the group that had chased and killed Shu Lie appeared again.

Shu Lie looked at the group of more than ten black-clothed masked people around him, and smiled miserably, "It seems that my eldest brother really can't tolerate me, so he has to put me to death." ”

When one of the black-clothed masked men heard this, he said: "Second son, you also know that the head of the family has extremely high expectations for you, and there is a high probability that he will make you the heir of the next head of the family, so if you don't die, how can the eldest prince feel at ease?"

"I have already told my father that I will not ask for the position of heir of the future head of the family, even if I give it to me, I will give it to the eldest brother, why can't the eldest brother tolerate me? I am his younger brother of the same father and mother!"

"People will change, the second son doesn't want the heir of the head of the family now, and it is hard to guarantee that he will not change his mind in the future, so ...... For the sake of safety, I can only grieve the second son. ”

Shu Lie's eyes gradually became cold, "So, no matter what, you don't plan to let me go?"

Shu Lie's questioning did not receive any response, and all the black-clad masked people collectively acquiesced to this fact.

Shu Lie took a deep breath, "Okay, in that case, my life is here, you can take it!"

However, just as Shu Lie's words fell, Li Xiuyan pulled him behind him, "Qian Han, you help protect him." ”

"Good. Chu Qianhan nodded, and took the dark gold heavy sword on his back.

The moment the blade fell to the ground, there was a muffled sound of a heavy object falling to the ground, as if the earth trembled.

When the black-clothed masked people saw this, they were all shocked in their hearts, but they didn't expect this seemingly weak girl to have such ...... strength

Li Xiuyan immediately liberated his first martial soul, Li Tianjian, in the Zhongtian Realm, he didn't need to worry about Li Tianjian being recognized at all, not to mention that the purpose of these people's trip was to kill Shu Lie, and if they didn't achieve their goal, they would never give up easily, so the battle between him and these people was a battle of life and death.

The dead will not reveal any secrets to the living.

"Soul Venerable ......" The black-clothed masked man who spoke earlier obviously didn't take Li Xiuyan seriously, turned his head to a few people around him and said, "You were defeated by him before?"

Several people nodded in unison, only to hear one person: "That's right, it's him, and the girl next to him." ”

Speaking of Chu Qianhan, judging from her appearance, especially her dark gold heavy sword, no matter how you look at it, it is more intimidating than Li Xiuyan.

"You, you...... A few of you, who are responsible for dealing with that girl, this arrogant boy will be handed over to me, and the rest of the people, be sure to send the second son to the West Heaven, do you understand?"

"Yes......" everyone shouted in unison.

At this moment, Li Xiuyan was already holding the Li Tian Sword and rushed towards the person who was the leader.

"Preemptively?" the leader smiled coldly, and at the same time liberated the martial spirit, and in the next second, he fought with Li Xiuyan.

The rest of the black-clothed masked men also divided into two teams to deal with Chu Qianhan and Shu Lie according to the instructions of the leader.

The aura of heaven and earth in the Nine Realms space is comparable to the Heavenly Realm, and Chu Qianhan has been staying in the Nine Realms space to cultivate since he was hunting in winter. Coupled with the guidance of the soul from the side, the cultivation has advanced by leaps and bounds, and has reached the same realm as Li Xiuyan, and is currently at the peak of the soul venerable, only one step away from stepping into the realm of the soul king.

When she saved Shu Lie before, she didn't show all her strength, and the main output was on Li Xiuyan, but this time, in order to protect Shu Lie, who had just recovered from her injuries, she could be said to be full of firepower, and her combat power was off the charts, instantly stunned all her opponents.

Especially when she unleashed the strongest blow, after the thunder dragon went to sea, at least five black-clothed masked people were killed on the spot, and the rest of the black-clothed masked people were also traumatized to varying degrees, and their combat power was greatly reduced.

Seeing this, the black-clothed masked man led by him was instantly furious, and he was also full of firepower, wanting to kill Chu Qianhan to avenge his dead companions.

Prior to this, while fighting with Li Xiuyan, the leader had been hiding his strength and misleading Li Xiuyan, he only had the Soul Venerable realm, but in fact, he had already reached the Soul King realm, but only the Soul King was a product.
