Chapter 872: The Destroyed City

Genmune...

Although it was already a harsh winter, the sect was still as in the past, and there were cultivators working hard to strengthen their bodies in the early morning.

From the courtyard of the lower courtyard, a neatly arranged team dressed lightly, running at a uniform speed in the early morning of this bitter winter day.

There are men and women in the team, all of them are full of energy, breathing regularly and unhurriedly.

At the front of the line, a young man dressed in the cultivation uniform of the Source Sect was staring at the front of the road with firm eyes, and his breathing was running slowly.

Although the young man is sixteen or seventeen years old, his physique is much stronger than ordinary people, he looks handsome, and there seems to be a righteous atmosphere between his eyebrows, which looks extremely mature and stable.

For some reason, the boy had already sped up, and it was getting faster and faster, and in a blink of an eye, he had surpassed the teacher who led the running, and his expression was a little distracted, as if he was thinking about something.

"Snow Lotus! You and I know you're physically tough, but there's no need to be so expressive! ā€

The teacher with the lead saw that the boy had overtaken him in an instant, and his speed was getting faster and faster, and after just a few breaths, he thought he had distanced himself from the team.

The young man named Xue Lian came back to his senses when he heard the teacher's words, stopped with an embarrassed face, stood in place and scratched his head to look at everyone.

At this time, a girl at the front of the team had already arrived at his side, and seeing that his face was a little ugly, she said with concern: "Are you okay?" ā€

Xue Lian shook her head, adjusted her breathing slightly, wiped the sweat on her forehead, looked at the woman dotingly and smiled: "Go on, otherwise the teacher will talk about you again!" ā€

The woman still couldn't rest assured, turned over her hand and took out a pill, and said softly: "This is given to me by Sister Xiao, it can stabilize the mind and increase the cultivation speed, take it, you must have something on your mind to see like this... Are you worried about tomorrow's exams? ā€

Xue Lian looked at the woman tenderly, touched her long hair, and said softly: "Take it yourself, I don't have anything to do, it's just that I've been too tired lately, just rest for a while!" ā€

The woman's face was full of concern and she stuffed the pill to Xuelian, but Xuelian returned the pill to the woman, urging her to continue exercising.

The woman's delicate appearance and the man's handsome and strong appearance are also known to everyone in the entire lower courtyard, and they are recognized as a pair of talented women.

Xue Lian exhaled a breath of turbidity, slowly closed her eyes, looked at the extremely ordinary ring on her finger, and slowly walked towards the resting place.

And at this moment, from the stone steps connecting the lower courtyard and the middle courtyard not far away, three figures were talking and laughing down.

Xiao Lin led Lan Er, who only showed half of her face, Xiao Yan on the side smiled slightly, she hadn't seen her for all these years, her expression had matured a lot, and her eyes were full of tenderness, and she no longer had the cold appearance she had at the beginning.

Xue Lian's eyes sank when she saw the three figures, but it was only for a moment, and then she also withdrew her eyes, lay on the chair and let out a long breath.

Even though Xue Lian's eyes only appeared for a moment, they were still captured by Xiao Yan, and her smiling expression suddenly became cold, looking towards Xue Lian.

Fortunately, Xue Lian's gaze was fast enough, and at this time, he was looking at the gradually brighter sky as if nothing happened, and he didn't know what he was thinking.

The three of them walked through the cultivation ground here and went straight to the indoor cultivation ground in front of them.

And if the three of them want to reach the indoor cultivation ground, they must pass through the snow lotus, and just as Xiao Yan and Xiao Lin were holding Lan'er with a hand through the snow lotus, a cold cold wind blew slightly.

In just a moment, Xue Lian's face had become stiff, and after the three of them crossed him, they stood up for the first time.

I saw Xue Lian's pupils shrinking, looking at Lan'er's thin body, echoing that at that moment, the cold wind blew through the other half of Lan'er's face covered by her black hair, revealing metallic scales.

"That's—" Xue Lian couldn't believe it, but the metallic scales were indeed visible, and it was very obvious.

At this time, the cultivator's morning run had also ended, and the woman ran towards the snow lotus quickly, and when she saw the snow lotus who was stunned in place, she said with a concerned face: "Lotus, is it that the medicinal effect of the pill absorbed in the past two days is too strong, and now it is uncomfortable?" ā€

The woman's words also brought Xue Lian back to her senses, her stiff expression instantly became tender, she pulled the woman into her arms, and said affectionately: "It's okay, it's okay... Do you know where that little girl came from and why haven't you seen it? ā€

The woman's delicate face began to heat when she was provoked by Snow Lotus's series of actions, and she wanted to break free from Snow Lotus's embrace, but she was reported tightly.

"Don't struggle, it's so warm!" Xue Lian looked at the woman playfully and smiled.

This made the woman stop struggling, and her blushing and shy appearance made Xue Lian like it for a while.

"The Sect Master just came back the day before yesterday, so I came back with this little girl, it just so happened that you were absorbing the pill at that time, and you couldn't see the Sect Master's appearance of flying in the air on the inner street!" The woman replied softly.

"When... Sect Master Xiao is back? Xue Lian's expression became solemn, and her breathing seemed to become heavy as she looked at the three backs that had already entered the indoor cultivation ground.

"Xiang'er, the teacher called you, I'll go back and rest for a while, I've been a little tired lately!" Xue Lian sorted out her expression, pretended to be very tired, pinched her temples with her hand, and said tiredly.

The woman's face was concerned, her white and delicate palm was frozen red, and she just wanted to raise it and put it next to Xuelian's mouth, but when she saw that her palm was extremely cold, she also stopped.

Seeing this, Xue Lian put her big hand on the woman's small hand, put it next to her mouth, and said dotingly: "When the cultivation is over, I will marry you..."

When the woman heard this, her eyes were also full of tears, and she nodded heavily, and then walked towards the group.

Xuelian stayed in place, looking at the woman's back, her expression was full of love, for a long time, he sighed heavily, and said to himself: "If I didn't have this identity, how good it would be..."

With that, he had already walked in the direction of the dormitory.

...

Since the barbecue shop came out, Shi Xiao has moved towards the city in the westernmost part of the Xiyun Empire that Yutian said, and he also arrived at that city at ten o'clock in the evening.

Now the city is blocked, and the four gates of the entire city are guarded by soldiers, and the security is extremely high.

Outside the city, a tent camp was used as the residence of the people who had come to investigate, and at the campfire, Shi Xiao also saw a few familiar faces.

When Shi Xiao was just thinking about going up to say hello, the city gate opened suddenly, and then several people dressed as soldiers rushed towards the camp.

And Shi Xiao had already left the side of the camp, but was stopped by several soldiers, and could only watch from a distance as Shi Lan and the extremely familiar figure walked towards the city.

"This Zero City has been blocked, if there is something to come back in a while, please go back!" The soldier who stopped Shi Xiao said sharply.

At this moment, a strong aura came from behind Shi Xiao, accompanied by a strong bloody aura, and two moon-like cold blades with silver light pierced the air and approached Shi Xiao.

Shi Xiao frowned slightly, and just wanted to urge the aura, only to hear two miserable howls in a row, and the two soldiers had become two corpses.

In an instant, the aura perception was released to the maximum, and all the aura within a radius of dozens of miles had been captured by Shi Xiao.

However, he didn't catch any strange aura, and even the two cold blades had disappeared out of thin air.

"If you have the ability to attack me, then why don't you have the ability to come out and meet me?" Shi Xiao's deep voice sounded, revealing a terrifying aura, as if the surrounding space had been distorted, and it became extremely illusory.

And this kind of abnormality naturally attracted Shi Lan's attention, and when he saw Shi Xiao's back, he rushed here for the first time.

But at this moment, a burst of blood mist appeared in front of them, and immediately after, a figure in a blood-red robe intercepted their way.

Shi Xiao turned his head slightly, his eyes swept to Shi Lan and the others, and he snorted coldly: "Just such a thing, you want to block my way?" ā€
