The rain has stopped.

The clouds have not dissipated, and the sky is still dark, with a little coolness.

Zhang Ruochen's power quickly dissipated, and the Buddha's light gradually became weaker, and he soon fell back to the realm of a fourth-order half-saint.

Not only that, a strong sense of weakness swept through the whole body from the inside out, and the holy qi in the sea of qi and meridians disappeared in an instant.

"Hmmm. ”

Zhang Ruochen couldn't continue to fly, carrying the stone beauty on his back, he slowly descended from mid-air and landed on the edge of a wide ancient river.

The ancient river, the smoke and waves are confused, the water flow is gentle, and you can't see the other side at a glance, as if you are standing on the seaside.

Zhang Ruochen's legs trembled slightly, and it was already difficult to support them.

The feeling of fatigue, coupled with the injuries on his body, made him almost fall to the ground.

At this moment, not to mention the Saint Realm giant, even a Heavenly Extreme Realm martial artist could defeat him.

Fortunately, the evil saints of the black market did not chase after him, otherwise, it would be difficult for Zhang Ruochen to escape today.

"If there is no Saint Realm powerhouse to catch up, let me go! Your state is very poor, if you don't heal in time, I'm afraid you will be left with a dark disease that will be difficult to heal for the rest of your life. Shi Meiren's expression was very focused, and she said softly, with some concern.

Zhang Ruochen was a little surprised, put down Shi Meiren, and stared at her eyes up close.

Her eyes were no longer so dim and hollow, but more humane, like a living beautiful woman, rather than a humanoid stone sculpture.

To be exact, as early as when they escaped from the black market, Shi Meiren underwent some subtle changes, and she was no longer so sluggish.

It's just that Zhang Ruochen was busy dealing with the Demon Sect Elders surnamed Qi and the Evil Dao Sages in the black market at that time, so he didn't have a chance to ask.

"You have regained your will?" Zhang Ruochen showed joy.

Shi Meiren's eyes were like two bays cutting water, staring straight at Zhang Ruochen, shaking her head, falling into silence, thinking about something, and as if she was feeling something, her eyes gradually became a little wooden.

Zhang Ruochen was worried that she would become a cold and silent stone beauty again, and immediately said: "I always feel that I am not completely out of the crisis, and I must continue to hurry, and escape as far away as possible." ”

Shi Meiren stared at Zhang Ruochen, quite worried, and said, "Your injuries are very serious, it's best to stop and recuperate." ”

Zhang Ruochen's injuries are indeed very serious, and there is no trace of blood on his face, like a terminally ill ordinary person.

Moreover, because of the use of the power of the third layer of the seal of the relic, the body became extremely weak, and some of it could not be supported, so it fell down.

Shi Meiren held him up, so that he did not fall to the ground.

Zhang Ruochen immediately swallowed a dead wood pill, and before he had time to refine it, he suddenly raised his head, looked at the sky in the distance, showed a contemplative expression, and said, "That's ...... The army of the undead ......"

On the horizon, a bright red color appeared, and a cloud of blood was rolling in, with a terrifying and terrifying aura.

There is definitely more than one undead blood clan, it must be a large army, most likely for the monstrous sword.

Zhang Ruochen was originally going to summon Xiao Hei and the Elephant Swallowing Rabbit in the scroll world and take them away, but now it seems that there is no need.

Among the army of the undead blood clan, there is more than one Saint Realm Blood King.

Xiao Hei and the Elephant Swallowing Rabbit's speed was the top among the Half-Saints, but compared to the Blood King of the Saint Realm, they were 108,000 miles behind.

Even if he hid in the world of the picture scroll, the Blood King of the Holy Realm could find the Qiankun Divine Wood Diagram according to Zhang Ruochen's residual breath.

Once the Qiankun Divine Wood Diagram falls into the hands of the undead blood clan, it will cause even greater disasters.

Zhang Ruochen believes that he has never experienced a desperate situation, and no matter how great the danger is, there is always a way to resolve it. Now, however, they are in a desperate situation.

Zhang Ruochen looked very calm, showed a smile, stared at Shi Meiren, and said, "Today, no matter what, it's death, why don't we do a big vote before we die?"

"What do you mean?" Shi Meiren looked curious.

Zhang Ruochen said: "Although your cultivation has been lost, the Holy Source is still in your body. I can help you detonate the Sacred Source and perish with those undead bloods. The power of a sword saint's holy origin exploded, and the power produced was really exciting. ”

Shi Meiren's eyes showed a warm look, and she nodded lightly and agreed.

However, at this moment, not far from the riverside, there was an elegant female voice: "Senior Brother Zhang, can you go to the boat for a while?"

Zhang Ruochen looked in the direction of the ancient river and saw a cyan wooden boat more than ten zhang long, docked on the shore.

On the bow of the boat, there stood a delicate and elegant woman in white, like a Lingbo fairy, giving people a very dusty feeling.

Zhang Ruochen was both a little dazed and a little surprised, and said, "Senior Sister Luo, why did you come to the Central Domain?"

The woman on the boat, named Luo Shuihan, is in the West Courtyard of the Wushi School Palace in the Heavenly Demon Ridge, together with Huang Yanchen and Mu Lingxi, and is called the "Three Demons of the West Courtyard".

It's just that Zhang Ruochen later left the Eastern Regions Holy Courtyard and embarked on a different path of the Holy Dao, and he has not seen Luo Shuihan for a long time.

I thought that they would never have any intersection in their lives, but they didn't expect that they would meet again under such circumstances.

To Zhang Ruochen's surprise, Luo Shuihan's cultivation had already stepped into the half-saint realm and had not fallen behind.

When he was in the Western Academy, Luo Shuihan was the best student, and his qualifications were still above Huang Yanchen and Mu Lingxi.

And, like Zhang Ruochen, her physique has been getting stronger and better, and she seems to have infinite potential.

In recent years, the adventures she has gotten may not have been lost to Mu Lingxi and Huang Yanchen. Stepping into the semi-saint realm at such a young age is the best proof of this.

Luo Shuihan still had a picturesque temperament, and said: "I came for the two of you, to be exact, it was actually another person on the boat who wanted to see you." ”

"We?"

Zhang Ruochen was really a little curious, who was the person who actually intersected with him and Ling Feiyu?

Zhang Ruochen really wanted to tell Luo Shuihan that there was an army of undead blood clans coming in this direction, and he should flee for his life immediately.

However, in his current state, he could see that the army of the undead blood clan was coming, and Luo Shuihan would not be able to see it?

Why is she still so calm?

Could it be ......

Zhang Ruochen glanced at the interior of the cyan wooden boat, and his heart moved, giving birth to a bold guess.

Could it be that man was in the boat?

Zhang Ruochen and Shi Meiren boarded the cyan wooden boat, and under the leadership of Luo Shuihan, they entered the cabin.

In the cabin, there was a young man in Tsing Yi in his thirties, and an old man with half white hair and half black hair.

On the table in front of the two of them, there was a scroll of paintings, outlined in ink, and it was impossible to see what was being painted.

The appearance of the Tsing Yi Xiushi can only be regarded as average, but the whole person gives people a clean and tidy appearance, and even every hair is neat and tidy.

Seeing Zhang Ruochen and Shi Meiren walking into the cabin, the two stopped talking about the paintings on the table and raised their heads at the same time.

The difference is that the first glance of the Tsing Yi Xiushi was on Zhang Ruochen's body.

The old man, who was half white and half black, stared at Shi Meiren for the first time, revealing a very curious look.

Tsing Yi Xiushi smiled and said, "I have long heard Shui Han mention that there is a great genius in the Yunwu County Kingdom of the Heavenly Demon Mountains, and I want to see you in the Eastern Regions Holy Academy, but I am worried that the master of the Xuanji Courtyard will misunderstand that I am going to rob his disciple, so I will wait." But I didn't expect that so many things happened later, and I didn't really see you until today. ”

Zhang Ruochen guessed the identity of the Tsing Yi Xiushi, clasped his fists with both hands, bowed slightly, and said, "Meet the seniors." ”

The old man, at this moment, also stared at Zhang Ruochen's body, and said: "No wonder the empress has ordered you to be arrested, you kid is indeed bold, you dare to kill two saints of the Demon Sect in a row." If you continue to make trouble, the Kunlun Realm, which is already about to be turned upside down, may add some unpredictable variables. ”

It was only at this moment that Zhang Ruochen began to take a serious look at this half-white-haired and half-black-haired old man.

The old man looked energetic, his eyes were like torches, and he was probably in his fifties, not so old.

The most critical point is that he is actually wearing clothes that represent the identity of Confucianism and Taoism.

You must know that the relationship between Confucianism and Taoism and the imperial court is quite close, and many outstanding students of Confucianism and Taoism are civil officials of the imperial court. Those Great Confucians and Holy Confucians are even in high positions, and they can even enter the Six Ministries and the Cabinet to formulate the national policy of the First Central Empire.

If this person is really a high-ranking official of the imperial court, Zhang Ruochen must be wary of him.

The old man in Confucian clothes saw Zhang Ruochen's vigilant eyes, he was a little displeased, blew his beard and glared, and shouted: "What are you doing to prevent the old man? The old man is not a person in the court, just a painter who paints." ”

Tsing Yi Xiushi stared at Zhang Ruochen and said calmly: "He is indeed not an official of the imperial court, and he will not make a move on you." You sit down and ignore him. ”

Zhang Ruochen hadn't sat down yet, the old man in Confucian clothes tilted his chin and said quite proudly: "Although the old man is not an official of the imperial court, one of the old man's disciples is the state pastor of Tiantai Prefecture. One of the old man's apprentices is the eye of this year's new science list. ”

Zhang Ruochen frowned, a little curious, how old is this old guy, why is he still screaming in front of a young man?

Zhang Ruochen didn't bother to pay attention to him, and sat down directly.

The old man in Confucian clothes saw Zhang Ruochen sitting opposite him, and began to blow his beard and stare again, as if he felt that Zhang Ruochen's status was too low and he was not worthy of being on an equal footing with him.

It is insulting, chaotic, and has no etiquette......

If it weren't for the Tsing Yi Xiushi sitting aside, it wasn't necessarily, the old man in Confucian clothes would have lifted the table and left.

At this moment, the eyes of the Tsing Yi Xiu Shi were fixed on Shi Meiren's body, revealing a complicated expression, and said, "Ling Palace Master, in fact, I am here specifically for you this time. ”

Shi Meiren smiled wryly and said, "You, like her, are you here to avenge the revenge of the year?"

Not far away, Zhang Ruochen showed a curious look, and wanted to know what kind of grievances the two characters in front of him who represented the two eras of the Kunlun realm back then?

The old man in Confucian clothes also pricked up his ears and listened carefully, looking very interested.

Tsing Yi Xiushi shook his head and said, "I know, she has been hating you all the time and venting all her grievances on you." When you fought with the Blue Sky Blood Emperor, your state of mind was already seriously traumatized. And when she found you, I'm afraid she also used the events of the year to attack your state of mind, wanting to completely destroy your will, so as to take revenge on you and make you pay for what you did back then. ”

He added, "I came to the Middle Domain to stop her, and I also want to tell you. I never blamed you for what happened back then. You didn't do anything wrong, don't blame yourself too much. ”

Hearing this, Shi Meiren's eyes obviously changed somewhat.
