"Twilight, stay here when I come back and bring you the grass."

By the altar on the riverbank, Chen Xiaoyu touched the wet hair of the fishman girl, smiled slightly, turned to Yao Xiaoxiao and said, "I believe in Sister Yao, so I have to go outside the city to have a look." ”

Looking at the serious young man's face, Yao Xiaoxiao, who originally looked indifferent, smiled and pointed to the upper reaches of the river.

The moonlight is hazy, and the third watch is coming.

The gate of Ping'an is closed, and the two lanterns hanging on the city wall flicker on and off, swaying with the evening breeze. It's just that life is still alive, and it's not like that.

"Brother Xiaoyu is going to go alone? Or will my sister go with you? ”

Yao Xiaoxiao's meaning is obvious, it is dangerous to go alone.

Chen Xiaoyu waved his hand and refused: "I'll go alone, trouble Sister Yao to take care of her." ”

Glancing at Liu Dusk warmly, Chen Xiaoyu walked to Zhou Xiaochen, who was stunned by the elbow blow, ruthlessly took off his clothes and changed them for himself, and finally tied his belt to wipe the water stains on his hands, and walked towards Ping'an City in the upper reaches of the river.

Such a casual teenager is really rare.

Yao Xiaoxiao took out a piece of cloth from the space ring to cover Zhou Xiaochen, walked in front of Liu Dusk, squinted her eyes and smiled, and the girl of the fish-man clan looked at the back of the young man walking upstream, and said with emotion: "Little sister, you saved a person who will be terrible in the future, but now, he is very kind." ”

……

The evening wind hits, and the three watches are on the day.

Outside Ping'an City, the white robe that didn't fit well was put on Chen Xiaoyu's body, obviously slightly stupid.

"Boy, you don't let Yao Xiaoxiao follow, you want to give this fairy fox a chance to make a move, and then make a move to kill the demon cultivator city lord, right?"

Leaving the altar, he got rid of the possibility of being discovered by the Priest Alliance, and the Sky Fox Bead flew out of his hair and turned back into a little white fox, floating in the air, stretching his waist, and snorting.

Listening to Uncle Xianhu boasting about himself, Chen Xiaoyu, who was leaning against the wall, pulled the corners of his mouth and said two words: "No." ”

"Hush." Pretending to be cold? The little white fox was stunned, and only used his teeth to make a disdainful sound.

In fact, if it was possible, he didn't want the little white fox to follow. After all, the special provisions of the fifth task are that the one who kills the river demon must be Chen Xiaoyu himself. However, what is basically certain now is that the so-called "river demon" is the city lord of Ping'an City who has stepped into the demon cultivation.

"I don't know if they will be in danger."

Thinking of being tied up during the day, Zhou Xiaochen stupidly asked Duan Li'er and Fang Yao to go to the City Lord's Mansion to move the rescue soldiers, Chen Xiaoyu suddenly worried about the safety of Duan Li'er and Fang Yao.

Just as Chen Xiaoyu decided to take the initiative to enter the city and go to the City Lord's Mansion, the voice of the little white fox sounded in his ears.

"There's movement."

In the lonely night of the third watch, the slight wheezing and footsteps were getting closer and closer.

Chen Xiaoyu listened attentively, his whole body pressed against the edge of the city wall, holding his breath.

Suddenly, the footsteps ceased, and then a dark shadow jumped down from the city wall, and the lantern hanging at the gate was extinguished.

It's people!

The shadow fell out of the city, dusted off its body, got up and walked downstream along the river.

Although there are no lights, it is still clear that it is a person in the faint light of the moonlight that gradually slants to the west.

Maybe that's the city lord of Heian City! Chen Xiaoyu didn't have time to think, so he slowed down and followed.

Since he was not a cultivator, there was no fluctuation in the aura realm at all, and following all the way, the black shadow didn't seem to notice that there was anyone behind him, of course, Chen Xiaoyu was also extremely cautious, and every step was steady.

A cave?

Following the pace of the black shadow, Chen Xiaoyu suddenly stopped and hid behind a tree.

Is there such a place outside Ping'an City?

There is no hiding place on either side of the cave, and if you continue to step forward, you will definitely expose yourself. Chen Xiaoyu held his breath and watched the black shadow standing in front of the cave, motionless.

Suddenly, a purple light flashed outside the cave, and the black shadow suddenly disappeared.

"Damn, how can this follow!" Chen Xiaoyu jumped out directly and scolded.

I didn't know what this black shadow was after following it for a long time, and now I lost it again.

Looking at the time on the watch, it probably corresponds to the hour of the third watch. Chen Xiaoyu sighed, turned around and looked at Ping'an City, which was a little farther away, thinking that it was better to go back.

He had just taken a step when a chill suddenly felt behind him.

"White robe? Are you from the Showblade Gate? ”

A cold wind on the flat ground swept up the dead branches and leaves, and after the shallow fluctuation of the aura, the branches and leaves exploded, and a man in a black robe wearing a cloak and a mask stood in the position where the black shadow had just disappeared, and his voice was cold.

Chen Xiaoyu stiffened, this cold true qi was exactly the same as that of Master Li Qingluan, he didn't dare to look back, and replied with a trembling voice: "Yes." ”

"Since you are a disciple of the Four Sects of Qinghe, then I think you are here to investigate the disappearance of Ping'an City."

"Yes." Chen Xiaoyu replied truthfully.

"Duan Lian'er, Fang Yao, do you know each other?"

Hearing Duan Li'er's name, Chen Xiaoyu's voice suddenly changed a little, no longer trembling slightly, and he had a lot more confidence.

"Acquaintance, where are Senior Sister Duan now, how are they?"

"They're safe, they're in the City Lord's Mansion." Suddenly, the man laughed, pointed to the cave behind him and said, "Young man, go in, it's best to kill the city lord of Ping'an City inside, otherwise there will be no peace in this Ping'an City in the future." ”

With that, the masked man in the black robe and hat dissipated in front of the cave as a wisp of breeze.

Feeling the chill behind him disappear, Chen Xiaoyu breathed a sigh of relief, turned around and looked at the stumps and leaves in front of the cave, a little dazed, thinking that this is the protagonist's chance, even at this time, there are gods to guide the way?

"Don't think about it, that is the soul consciousness of the city lord of Ping'an City just now." The voice of the little white fox interrupted Chen Xiaoyu's contemplation.

"What? Soul Sense? Chen Xiaoyu was shocked.

The little white fox sighed: "Boy, I haven't told you, since I followed you to Qinghe Prefecture, I felt that the entire Qinghe Prefecture seemed to be shrouded in a gloomy spirit array. You also said that there are no demons in Qinghe, but I think there are no immortals in this Qinghe! ”

After sighing, the little white fox pointed to the leaves and branches on the ground and continued: "The Ping'an City Lord should have been taken away by the black shadow we saw here, and he has been hiding the residual soul consciousness, I'm afraid that he is waiting for someone who has discovered that the current Ping'an City Lord is a demon cultivator to appear." ”

The little white fox looked at Chen Xiaoyu with his eyes focused.

"I'm two big heads now!" Chen Xiaoyu was a little irritable.

The disappearance of Ping'an City, Jiaolong, Yao Xiaoxiao, Liu Dudu, and now the city lord of Ping'an City who has been taken away, these are not at all things that a fantasy Shuangwen should have.

Patting his head, Chen Xiaoyu took out the sword in the space ring, walked to the entrance of the cave, and scolded: "Zhuo, I didn't expect to be the protagonist so seriously for the first time, and let me lose so badly." Next, no matter who says anything to me, I have only one goal, and that is to use the sword in my hand to cut down people, demons, and even gods! ”
