Lingshan City, a small city along the Huaishui River in the Great Wei Dynasty. Because it is not a river ferry, Lingshan City has always been a small city with a small resident population.

However, Lingshan City is surrounded by mountains and rivers, and the scenery is excellent, so it is a favorite place for literati and artists who like beautiful scenery.

There is also an interesting story about the origin of the name Lingshan City.

Legend has it that a long, long time ago, this Lingshan Mountain outside the city of Lingshan was covered with rain and fog all year round, which was very mysterious. One day, a woodcutter in the city went into the mountains to cut wood, and encountered a colorful tiger, which immediately frightened the woodcutter. Just when the woodcutter thought that he was going to die, he did not expect a woman who looked like an immortal appeared in front of him and forced the tiger back to save his life.

The woodcutter knelt down in thanks, but the fairy only smiled and told him to hurry down the mountain, and then disappeared into the forest without a trace.

Later, the people of the city learned of what happened to the woodcutter and were suspicious. However, for those who love ghost stories, such stories are especially appealing, and the fairy girl is even more fascinating. Later, the woodcutter's encounter was spread by ten or ten, and the rumor that there were immortals living on Lingshan also spread.

Since then, wave after wave of people have gone into the mountains to look for immortals, just to catch a glimpse of the immortals. If you can still be valued by the immortals and enter the immortal sect, it will be a great thing, so there was an endless stream of people entering the mountain during that time.

There are also those who find another way, choosing to enter the mountains at night when there are few people.

It's just that the waves of people who enter the mountain never see the legendary female fairy. But the legend of Lingshan has spread, and this small city located at the foot of the mountain has also been named after it.

After a long time, no one cares about whether there are really immortals in Lingshan, which can be regarded as a beautiful vision in their hearts, and it is a little more beautiful. Time has passed, and people today know that those past events are just a beautiful vision of the people who were there, and no one will make fun of them.

When the sun was slowly setting, two fast horses suddenly appeared on the official road outside Lingshan City. Far away, the two of them immediately dismounted. One of the two is a young man with an extraordinary temperament, and the other is a girl who feels beautiful.

Both of them were dressed in dark clothes, and they both wore masks on their faces, covering half of their faces, making it difficult to see their faces.

The young man carried two long swords wrapped in linen on his back, and from a distance, everyone knew that the two were the rangers who walked the rivers and lakes.

The two of them were naturally Shen Jing and Su Yao, who had escaped from Meiwu City for a long time. The original eye-catching outfit was originally just to confuse the public, so soon after leaving Plum Fog City, they changed into the current outfit that didn't look so conspicuous.

Escape, escape, this time it's really a flight. The two have had a rough journey, and there have been several fights. The previous one was a fight in the mountains and forests two days ago.

Because the two knew that someone was chasing behind them, they both chose to take a remote path along the way to hide their figures.

The night two days ago, the two of them, who had been nervous, thought that they had found a hidden place to stay and could temporarily hide themselves from being found and rest for a while.

Although the two of them were lucky in their hearts, thinking that no one would chase them, they still didn't dare to relax completely. Especially Shen Jing, while carefully paying attention to the movements around him, he tried to rest as much as possible.

The two of them did not make a fire, and simply ate some dry food as dinner. The two of them slept in the open along the way, and they never cared about these.

After the moon rose in the sky, he had been paying attention to the quiet situation around him, and suddenly heard the slight neighing of two horses tied to the dilapidated temple, accompanied by the occasional hurried movement of horses' hooves.

Although the sound was not loud, Shen Jing immediately realized that someone was approaching.

But by the time Shen Jing sensed the danger, the group had already rushed outside the temple. With the strength of him and Su Yao, they didn't have the capital to fight hard with that group, so the two of them ran out of the temple at the fastest speed and turned over on their horses, and then swept away.

The group of pursuers thought that the heads of the two men were already in the bag, but they knew that they had relaxed their vigilance slightly, and the two ran away under their noses.

However, this group of people is quite calm. In their opinion, as long as they find someone, how to kill and kill it is not far away. So a moment after Shen Kuang and Su Yao swept on the fast horses and left, a group of people also followed the horses and chased after them, and finally intercepted the two of them by a pine forest stream a few miles away.

This group of people is a small sect called Tiannanfu in the southwest of Great Wei, and they know that they are not qualified to compete with those big forces, so they also pick those remote roads along the way, and try their luck.

Fortunately, after ten days of chasing all the way, they finally noticed the traces of Shen Jing and Su Yao in an extremely remote and dilapidated temple, so they were overjoyed.

Zhao Tiannan, the lord of Tiannan Mansion, is a martial artist in the late stage of the Guiyuan Realm, who is good at internal boxing, and is perfect in splitting and boxing with one hand.

Although Zhao Tiannan had personally seen the earth-shattering battle between this young man and the Black Sword Servant, he still had his own considerations in his heart. In terms of cultivation alone, he overpowered the young man, and this time he was joined by three elders from the early stage of the Guiyuan Realm and several people from the Vientiane Realm. Therefore, Zhao Tiannan felt that as long as he planned carefully, it may not be impossible to defeat the enemy with one move, not to mention that there was a girl next to the young man who was only in the late stage of the Guiyuan Realm, which was also a constraint for the young man.

It's just that when they found the two of them, their group was obviously a little overjoyed, so much so that it alarmed Shen Jing, making the plan behind them completely useless, and they had no choice but to face it head-on.

Outside the stream, facing an enemy several times his size, Shen Qing's eyes were gloomy. He didn't fight a lot along the way, and he killed a few. As a young man, his bloodiness has long been stimulated, so at the moment, Shen Jing clenched the long sword in his hand and was waiting for an opportunity to make a move.

Along the way, Shen Jing and Su Yao have exchanged a lot of ways to deal with the enemy if they encounter the enemy, how to cooperate, how to kill the enemy, and even how to escape after being defeated.

Therefore, with a look from Shen Jing at this time, Su Yao understood the meaning.

Shen Jing could see that only the leader of this group had a relatively high cultivation, and the rest of the people didn't need to be too afraid. And the man only used his fists and no weapons, which invisibly created a slight advantage for him.

After Zhao Tiannan led people to chase after him, he wanted to put down some arrogant words and boost morale. But he didn't expect that the man and woman on the opposite side were not thinking about escaping, but attacked directly head-on in turn, without the slightest drag, and even he himself was a little incredible.

The young man's target was directed at him, Zhao Tiannan, and the woman was delaying the steps of the others, creating a chance for the young man to kill with one blow.

After all, it is also an old Jianghu, and Zhao Tiannan can see the plan of the two at a glance.

However, the situation is not difficult to break, as long as he can hold the young man for a moment, and wait until the others clean up the girl, it is naturally a matter of a group of people besieging one person. So for the young man's frontal offensive, Zhao Tiannan sneered in his heart.

Although looking at the world, he is not a martial artist in the late stage of the Guiyuan Realm who cultivates the inner family boxing method, but his strength is also real.

In the face of the oncoming attack of the two, their group quickly had a countermeasure.

Zhao Tiannan himself had thought about it, as long as he let him get close to the other party, he was sure that the young man in front of him would not be able to use that powerful swordsmanship.

Shen Kuang threw the Qingwan sword to Su Yao, and the two of them both came out with a sword.

Facing the oncoming fierce sword qi, Zhao Tiannan did not dare to be careless. While trying to dodge, he is also waiting for an opportunity to attack.

It's just that the power of the young man's swordsmanship was far beyond his expectations. He knew that the young man's swordsmanship was very powerful, but he knew that it could be so powerful after experiencing it firsthand at this moment. But after two or three moves, he felt a little overwhelmed.

Shen Kuang's purpose was naturally to fight quickly, and he didn't want to give the other party any respite. And he also knew that once it dragged on for a long time, Su Yao would not be able to support it, so he took out his fastest and most powerful sword.

Shen Guo frantically ran the willow catkins body method, and after another sword, in Zhao Tiannan's ventilation kung fu, Shen Qian's sword gasified the sword, and dozens of sword qi swords surrounded Shen Guo's body. In the next second, these swords slashed Zhao Tiannan's throat with a single sword. Zhao Tiannan's eyes widened, and he never thought that he would be planted on a young man.

The battle between Shen Guo and Zhao Tiannan took place between lightning and flint.

The rest of the Tiannan Mansion people saw that the door master was not the young man's enemy, and their courage to intercept and kill the two people was suddenly dissipated, and after everyone looked at each other, they quickly chose to flee in all directions.

Shen Jing and Su Yao didn't have time to care about the rest of the people, and the two of them hurried away quickly while the night was dark.

Along the way, Shen Jing and Su Yao both killed a few people. Su Yao doesn't have that much burden for killing, but for Shen Jing, it's different. It's just that after that time, he almost died after hesitating a few minutes with his sword, and he didn't dare to be merciful anymore.

Others want his life, and even if they die, there will still be others, and letting those people go is no different from killing themselves.

The two spurred their horses and slept in the open for another trip.

For where to go? Both of them have considerations in mind.

Shen Guo wanted to go back to Donghai, and he hadn't seen his parents since he was born, so he wanted to venture back to Donghai City. Su Yao's thoughts coincided with his, as for where to go after getting there, it was not something they needed to think about now, because they might not be able to see the sun tomorrow.

After the two left Meiwu City, they kept going south, intending to go east along the Yangtze River. In this way, even if there is really an enemy that cannot be solved in the end, they can still cross the river and escape to the Nanliang side.

After being chased by the previous group of people, Shen Kuang and Su Yao paid more and more attention to their traces along the way. Sometimes they deliberately rode horses and made hoofprints to confuse the public, so that the next two days were safe.

Originally, the two of them didn't plan to go to the city, because there were many people in the city, and it was not suitable for hiding traces. But the two of them who have been sleeping in the open for many days need some supplies and a good rest, and the long-term mental tension has formed a lot of pressure on the two.

Of course, there is actually another consideration for the two of them choosing to enter the city. The most dangerous place is the safest place, and they will think that there are many people in the city, so those people will feel the same way, so it is less likely to enter the city. Moreover, Shen Guo thought that if he could find a caravan in the city and mix in it, the rest of the road would be even more confusing.

However, for the sake of safety, the two of them have been hiding outside the city for several hours, and only after discovering that there is really no follower will they dare to enter the city in a low-key manner.

Outside Lingshan City, Shen Jing and Su Yao, who were dressed in rivers and lakes, did not attract too many people's attention. The rivers and lakes where people come and go, even in the market, are not uncommon to see more handsome and beautiful men and girls, so at first I didn't pay attention to it after looking at it twice.

Shen Kuang and Su Yao also followed the flow of people and entered Lingshan City.
