In the empty mountains and forests, because it has just rained and it is early morning, the thin sunlight that has just risen sprinkled on everything, and the dew drops and rain reflect bursts of colorful halos, blurred and illusory, very beautiful.

A sharp whistling sound came from the dense forest, startling countless dream birds to instinctively flutter their wings and fly up into the sky, a large area in an endless row, as if they were escaping from some very fearful existence.

Below the flock of birds, a man sat on the ground bare-chested, and on his somewhat fair skin, there were dozens of pitch-black markings, as if they were not tattooed, but penetrated from the body to the outside, and some of them flowed very slowly like a liquid, and very faint spots of light faintly appeared.

On his side, a bright silver thin sword was inserted into the ground, like a pool of autumn water, the blade of the sword was as cold and shining as a streamer, like a starry dot, and the sharp breath fluctuations lingered on the entire sword, merging with the person's breath, extremely powerful, so that people did not dare to offend without permission when they saw it.

However, there was still a dark purple figure that was indifferent to the sword intent that permeated the surroundings, and walked in front of the person very calmly, and said lightly: "It seems that you are beginning to adapt to your current body? As for the prejudices of those who are ignorant of the world, there is no need to consider them at all. When the time comes, they can only use their mouths, where do they dare to do anything with you. ”

The person sitting cross-legged didn't open his eyes, but replied in a deep voice: "No matter what, I have to thank you for helping me solve this biggest hidden danger in my body." I've coveted the power of extreme darkness for a long time, but unfortunately I haven't been able to really control it. It's just that the biggest question at the moment is, is the extreme light in my body sealed by you?"

This person was Feng Ren, who had fallen into a coma due to the re-eruption of the Extreme Darkness, and the other person in front of him was naturally one of the Deputy Pavilion Masters of the Oblivion Pavilion who took him away, Jiang Yuan.

Hearing this, Jiang Yuan smiled and said: "It is difficult for light and darkness to coexist directly, I don't say that you should understand this truth, I should say that you have a deep understanding." Originally, what was sealed in your body was darkness, and what flowed was light. Now, it is darkness that flows, and what seals is light. It's as simple as the sun rising, the moon setting, the moon rising, and the sun setting. The days are so long, and they have passed. What you should think about and do now is to grasp your new strength on this night. Besides, your current cultivation has improved a lot. ”

Nodding slightly, Feng Ren opened his eyes and replied, "I understand." It's just that there is one more question that has been in my mind for a long time...... You claim to be the deputy pavilion master of the Oblivion Pavilion, why do you want to help me?"

Jiang Yuan snorted: "I'm not helping you, but I take a fancy to your talent and potential." It's like I've done a lot for them when I joined the Oblivion Pavilion, and at the same time, I've done a lot of things that I couldn't have done with the help of their intelligence agencies. It's just a relationship of mutual exploitation. The same goes for you. Of course, I know that you are a person who is absolutely unwilling to be subservient to others and follow the dictates of others. So, I'm just going to make a deal with you. ”

"Tell me about it, maybe I'll be interested. Feng Ren had no possibility of refusing, not to mention that he had accepted Jiang Yuan's help, just the few companions whose whereabouts were unknown and were still in the hands of the other party made him dare not act rashly.

"For three years, I don't care what you want to do when you don't have a task, even if you accidentally cause something, I can help you clean up the mess, but don't go too far. But once there's a task on my side, then you have to do it. Of course, I won't let you do it alone, I have already arranged a few people for you in terms of helpers. Jiang Yuan said it very plainly, but the deep meaning in it could already be seen a bloody storm.

Feng Ren shook his head and said: "Help you eliminate dissidents or kill innocents indiscriminately, and it will be difficult to obey your fate." ”

Jiang Yuan said with a smile: "I don't deny the exclusion of dissidents, but it is basically impossible to kill innocents indiscriminately. Whoever I want you to kill, they have their way of death. On the other hand, if the disaster does not affect the family, the culprit can be eliminated, and as for his original subordinates, he can be spared, and the innocent will not be implicated. There are some things that I can't do in person, so I need a sword, and you just meet all the conditions. ”

"Three years is too long, and I still have my own things to go back to. Just one year. Feng Ren bargained, as if he didn't have the kind of consciousness that he was not qualified to oppose.

Jiang Yuan didn't get the slightest anger, but nodded and said, "Yes." However, in the first year, the previous statement will remain unchanged. For the next two years, you'll only need to complete tasks up to twice a year. Again, I won't interfere with the rest of your own affairs. ”

Feng Ren nodded and said, "Deal." Now, what's the first mission?"

"You're smart, and I like to talk to people like that. The first task is very simple, you need to change your identity and then hone in the same relationship with your future subordinates. Jiang Yuan said with a smile, raising his hand and snapping his fingers. Soon, the sound of whistling wind came from far and near, and a total of thirteen figures stood behind him, and everyone's aura was at least five realm-level.

"These are the thirteen swordsmen, they have no names, only code names, one sword to thirteen swords, completely belong to you alone. Of course, these are just the titles you give when you are on a mission, and it doesn't matter what you want to call me in private, but you must not let outsiders know. Jiang Yuan turned around and said, after a few steps, the figure gradually blurred, and finally raised his right hand before dissipating, with a jade pendant hanging on his hand, holding a small pale golden thing in his palm, and said: "These two friends of yours, I will take care of you first, and then return it to you after a year." Don't worry, it'll be fine. ”

"Wait!" Feng Ren hurriedly scolded, but he could only watch Jiang Yuan's figure disappear in front of him, powerless to stop it.

Sighing helplessly, he grabbed the clothes that had already been prepared by someone on the side and put them on, the skin with strange lines was suddenly covered, and the flowing black robe was very delicate, and the purple patterns on the edges seemed to be engraved with some kind of special runes, faintly with very strange fluctuations.

This is the robe that Jiang Yuan took to restore the sky and the sun after being repaired by the skilled craftsmen in the Oblivion Pavilion, the appearance has changed greatly, it is no longer simple, and some of it seems to be special and gorgeous in the dark, with a slight sense of majesty. As for the power, it is better than before.

Beneath the clothing, there is also a dark brown metal mask, which only covers the part above the mouth and nose and the sides of the face, but it can also make others unrecognizable. And on the surface of the quaint mask, a faint pattern of dark red light gushed out like magma flowing, and when you look at it, you know that it is not ordinary.

He glanced at the so-called thirteen swordsmen again, each with a veil in front of his face, and could barely see the outline of his face. Judging from the figure, they are all women.

"What a quirky guy, quirky fetishes. Feng Ren shook his head as he covered his face with the mask, only feeling a little cold, without the slightest discomfort. Judging from the inner depression, it turned out to be a fit for him, and it was just right to wear it without being loose or tight.

Seeing that Feng Ren was dressed neatly, the thirteen swordsmen knelt down on one knee together and said, "See the master." ”

The sounds of the hybrids are surprisingly similar, as if one person's voice was repeated on top of each other.

And Feng Ren didn't pay attention to this, but looked at the thirteen swordsmen, and his gaze suddenly stopped on two of them, and he couldn't help but tremble slightly with his hanging hands.

"You, and you, stay. The rest of the people, go back first. You are not allowed to come without my orders, let alone eavesdrop. Feng Ren said coldly, and the eleven people left without the slightest hesitation.

When there were only three of them left, Feng Ren couldn't help but smile and said, "Okay, there is no one else here, what are you two still doing with this veil, do I really not recognize you?"

When the second daughter heard this, she raised her hand and removed the cover on her face, revealing her original face.

The heart of the silver moon, the wind is gentle.

"I'm curious, why did you two become the thirteen swordsmen?" Seeing that the person in front of him was exactly what he thought, Feng Ren immediately expressed the doubts in his heart.

Yin Yuexin replied first: "That person is my first master, and he told me that he wants me to continue to follow you, but in a different identity. For the poppy, as long as you follow the master, it is enough, and there is no need to think about anything else. Now I don't have one more code name, Kenyi. ”

Feng gently lowered her head and twisted the corners of her clothes and whispered, "That person just asked me if I wanted to help Brother Feng Ren, and I agreed." In some of my recollections, it seems that of all the people I met later, he was the best for me. So ......"

Feng Ren smiled faintly, touched Feng Qing's head with some pity and said, "Actually, you don't need to follow me to mess around." But that's fine, at least I know that the two of you are okay, and with me in the future, there shouldn't be anything else. ”

He clearly remembered Jiang Yuan's previous words, the Thirteen Swordsmen belonged to him alone, and the meaning of this was self-evident. He has independent powers, and the Thirteen Swordsmen are also not subject to other constraints. So, even if the wind is gentle here, it doesn't matter.

Silver Moon Heart added, "Her code name is Sword Five. Also, I heard from that person that Yun Qingkong and the three of them had been sent back to the Southern Continent. As far as I know about him, this person does not tell lies, and there is no need to tell lies. ”

"That's good, and it takes care of my other concern. I was a little envious of the three of them, and we could go back, while we had to stay here for some longer. It's just that I have a vague feeling that in the next year, it seems that what we will encounter in the next year will probably be quite interesting, but there is always danger. It's a new beginning......" Wind Ren said with some wistfulness, looking up at the sky without a single cloud.

For the yearning and hope for the future, such things will not disappear at any time, this is his style.

......

"What, no, how is this possible!" Gu Yayin looked at an old woman in front of her in disbelief, eager to skin her alive.

The old woman shook her head and said, "Lord Demon Princess, how dare the old man lie to you." It's just that this kind of thing itself shouldn't be forced. Besides, even if it does, I'm afraid it will be ...... if it gets out."

Gu Yayin sat on the bed with some resentment, waved her hand, and said, "Forget it, you can go." Remember, don't tell anyone. Including those questions I asked you last time. ”

The old woman nodded and said, "This naturally understands, the old man has lived for so long, and he doesn't know this." ”

With that, she hurriedly exited the door, not forgetting to close it.

After pounding the bed board indiscriminately and venting for a while, Gu Yayin gasped and said to herself: "Is there something wrong with that kid himself, or is my time miscalculated." I still wanted to leave some residual thoughts with him on this, but I didn't expect it to fail......"

"What failed?"

A cold voice came from outside the door, and then Ling Yixian pushed the door in, looking at Gu Yayin who was sitting on the bed, as if she had already understood something in her heart.

Gu Yayin said with a weak heart: "Nothing......"

Ling Yixian sat directly on the edge of the bed, looked at Gu Yayin's deliberately abandoned face and said, "Actually, I originally thought that you wouldn't come back after you went...... It's just that when you come back like this, the things in your heart still don't come to fruition, is it really good?"

Gu Yayin shook her head and said, "I don't know how to solve this troublesome matter, in fact, I didn't realize when I fell in love with that stupid boy." By the time I found out what I wanted, there was no turning back. Fortunately, he has been burying his thoughts, not unintentionally. ”

"What are you going to do in the future? Now you are full of doubts and reluctance, and you can't hold the sword in your hand anymore like before. Ling Yixian's words seemed to have some special meaning.

Gu Yayin's heart was crossed, and she said loudly: "Mansion Master, let me go there." This time, can you give me the only place in the Posa Mansion?"

Ling Yixian was slightly startled, and said with a straight face: "Are you sure? You know, there is a prison robbery that kills nine deaths." In your current state, you probably won't be able to come back alive. ”

Gu Yayin smiled bitterly: "Now I feel that I am too weak, even if I return to him, it seems that I can no longer help, I can only be a burden." In this case, I can only fight. Hopefully, by then, I won't care about leaving for that reason. ”

"Good. Since you have this heart, then you should have an obsession that is strong enough to make you last to the end. I promise you, let you go. Get started and don't leave any regrets. ”

Ling Yixian left satisfied, and when she closed the door, she glanced at Gu Yayin again, and said secretly in her heart: "Xiaoyin, can't I really see that little calculation in your heart? It's a pity that Feng Ren inherits the bloodline of the extremely rare Dragon Soul Ancient Clan. Even if you get the time right, the chances of getting pregnant in one go are slim to none. ”

......

"Sister Lan Jin, are you sure you want to go?"

Huo Xiaoxuan looked at Lan Jin with some reluctance, and didn't understand why she was suddenly willing to go with Que Yingmei and them.

Lan Jin nodded slightly, reached out and stroked Huo Xiaoxuan's little head and said, "That's right, I have already decided to go to the branch of their Phoenix Clan." Perhaps, there will be some unexpected gains. The situation here has improved, and I can't help much, so I'll leave the rest to you. ”

Huo Xiaoxuan responded: "Don't worry, no problem." It's just that if you leave, if he comes back......"

"It's not like I'm not coming back as soon as I'm gone. In short, there will definitely be a day when we will meet again. Lan Jin said softly, feeling a little reluctant and helpless. It's just that Que Yingmei's words lingered in her heart, and it was also an important factor in this decision.

You are too weak now, and only by becoming stronger can you not become a burden to him at that time.

"I, I will never lose to you then!" Lan Jin swore secretly in his heart, looked up at the heavenly realm, and seemed to vaguely see the familiar face that he had missed for a long time, and couldn't help but smile slightly.

(End of Volume III)

――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――

Just add a few words.

Actually, I didn't expect this volume to take so long to complete, and the number of words should be more than the previous two volumes. The plot has also been changed again and again to get to its current appearance.

This volume has a very unusual meaning for me. This is the first book I have written in the true sense of the word, and I have finally achieved a breakthrough of one million words in the third volume, and a breakthrough of one year in a row. Although, the popularity is still bleak, and after the third volume was written, the site's recommendations were almost not given. It can be said that my resentment in writing the third volume is very large.

However, I can feel that after writing so much, I have improved in many aspects, and my overall control has also improved a lot. Along the way, I have benefited a lot. Even though I was far from the glorious finish line, the scenery along the way also made me intoxicated and happy.

It's a pity that there are probably not many people who can read this chapter. But no matter what, I will still finish this book, and give an explanation to those of you who are willing to read it, and also an explanation to myself.
