Xiang An sat cross-legged on the Siguo cliff of Ganquan Peak.

At his side was a sword that reached into the ground.

The sword has been here for many years.

It was the ancestral sword of Ganquan Peak, the Shenquan Sword.

Since three hundred years ago, the previous owner of the Shenquan Sword, that is, the sixteenth Ganquan Peak Peak Master, suddenly died violently, and this sword has been staying on the top of this Ganquan Peak.

And the vast sword intent in the Shenquan Sword has always been shrouded in the top of Ganquan Peak, so that it is difficult for others to enter.

Only by wearing the token of the peak master of Ganquan Peak back then can he safely open the sword intent enchantment laid by the Shenquan Sword on the top of the mountain.

This has been going on for hundreds of years, but it has changed a little in recent days.

Just a few days ago, that is, on the night when Lu Qi passed out, the sword intent that permeated the surroundings of the Shenquan Sword suddenly disappeared.

No one knows what's going on.

For this reason, he was ready to retire, and most of the time, the old peak master who no longer cared about the affairs of the sect also came to visit, but he didn't see it.

He also tried to pull out the Shenquan Sword, but it remained unmoving.

He could only stop the matter for the time being, but he told everyone that it was best not to approach this sword, and he hurried to Tianhang Peak to report the matter to the master.

The disciples of Ganquan Peak knew the horror of the Shenquan Sword, so they naturally didn't dare to approach, but Xiang An was an exception.

Since he was locked up in Siguo Cliff for more than a month, Xiang An has been meditating and cultivating beside the Shenquan Sword when he has nothing to do, and unconsciously, he is used to getting along with this sword.

Xiang An couldn't say whether it was his own psychological effect, he only felt that when he stayed by this sword's side, his mind was extremely immersed, and even his cultivation was a little faster, and in a month's time, he had even faintly touched the threshold of the Seven Realms.

Therefore, even if there is a master in front of him, whenever he has the opportunity, he will still secretly come here to practice alone.

At this moment, he had been meditating and practicing here all night, and the sky was already bright.

The golden morning light sprinkled on the lush mountain tops, gilding his figure with a layer of gold, making him look like a natural statue from a distance.

A disciple of Ganquan Peak came here at this moment, and when he approached Xiang An and Shenquan Sword, he paused slightly and stopped.

His face was filled with fear, and he stood in place and didn't dare to speak, for fear of disturbing Xiang An.

And Xiang An seemed to feel something, his eyes opened at that time, and a golden streamer flashed away in his eyes.

He looked at the comer and asked, "What's wrong?" ”

When the disciple heard this, he was like waking up from a dream, and hurriedly said, "Senior brother! The left salary is gone! And Lu Qi is also missing! ”

Hearing this, Xiang An frowned and stood up.

"It's already inconceivable that Zuo Chuanxin can escape, and Lu Qi has been in a coma for many days, why did he disappear? I am afraid that someone is secretly helping behind this. Xiang An muttered to himself in a low voice.

The disciple also heard Xiang An's words, and he said: "But the prison where Zuo Chuanxin is held has always been guarded, and I was also in charge last night, and I really didn't see any suspicious people entering, except for ......."

Saying this, the disciple's face was a little frightened, and he looked like he wanted to speak and stopped.

Xiang An saw his hesitation and said in a deep voice: "Say!" ”

The disciple was obviously a little afraid of Xiang An, and when he heard the dissatisfaction in Xiang An's tone, he was trembling at that time, and hurriedly responded: "It's Senior Sister Zhou!" ”

"Senior Sister Zhou broke into the dungeon yesterday on the grounds that she had something important to interrogate Zuo Chuanxin, I wanted to stop her, but Senior Sister Zhou was resolute, and I was afraid of hurting her, so I only let her in."

"But after entering, she stayed for more than an hour, and she didn't come out, I went in to see a few times, and saw that she had been talking to Zuo Chuanxin, I didn't dare to stay longer, and hurriedly came out again, until half an hour ago, Senior Sister Zhou came out of the dungeon, I hurriedly went in to check, just in case, but Zuo Chuanxin's figure was gone."

"I can only chase Senior Sister Zhou, but she doesn't know anything, I have no choice but to tell Senior Brother about it......"

"Does Master know about this?" Xiang An asked.

The disciple shook his head: "I haven't had time to tell the master yet. ”

Xiang An, who heard this, tilted his head sideways and thought for a while, and then said, "Then don't tell him." ”

"If his old man knew that Ling'er did this, he would probably be angry again, and he was injured, go, take me to see Ling'er." Xiang An said.

The disciple didn't dare to disobey Xiang An's words, nodded after hearing this, and hurriedly turned around and led Xiang An towards where Zhou Ling'er was.

And after the two of them walked away, on the Shenquan Sword, a scarlet light suddenly flashed away.

……

"Get out of here!"

"Why are you holding me here?"

"Believe it or not, when my grandfather and Brother Xiang An come, I will ask them to expel you all from Ganquan Peak!"

Before Xiang An and the man could get close, they saw from a distance that Zhou Ling'er was losing his temper surrounded by a group of Ganquan Peak disciples.

It's just that her identity is special, and the disciples of Ganquan Peak around her can only surround her temporarily, but they don't dare to do anything to her.

"Ling'er!" Xiang An, who saw this scene from afar, walked up quickly.

Zhou Ling'er also saw Xiang An.

Her face was happy, as if she had seen a savior, she stood up and waved at Xiang An.

"Brother Xiang An!" She said loudly, and at the same time looked at the disciples around her proudly, and said proudly, "See? Brother Xiang An is here, you wait to be cleaned up by him! ”

The surrounding disciples obviously understood the relationship between Xiang An and Zhou Ling'er, and their faces were bitter, and they didn't dare to stop Zhou Ling'er at the moment, so they retreated one after another.

Zhou Ling'er walked through the crowd at this time and came to Xiang An's side, as usual, took Xiang An's hand, and said coquettishly: "Brother Xiang An, look at these people, they bully Ling'er!" ”

In the past, Xiang An would comfort Zhou Ling'er at this time, and this time seemed to be no exception.

Xiang An smiled: "Ling'er, they all do things according to the rules, what are you doing to embarrass them?" ”

Zhou Ling'er pursed her lips and said aggrievedly: "I didn't do anything!" ”

"I just went to the dungeon, and then the left salary disappeared, and I didn't do it, they had to stop me!"

"Brother Xiang An, do you know me? I don't know Zuo Chuanxin, why should I save him? Besides, I don't have that ability, do I? They don't guard themselves well, and I have to blame it. ”

The more Zhou Linger spoke, the more aggrieved she became, and even her eyes were a little red.

Seeing this, Xiang An reached out and patted Zhou Ling'er's back at that time, which was considered comforting.

Then he looked at the frightened crowd and said: "Zuo Chuanxin and Tang Zhengde betrayed the sect and colluded with outsiders, this is a big deal, whether they interrogate you or detain you temporarily, it is all according to the rules, so don't be angry with them." ”

Saying that, Xiang An said again: "What are you still doing in a daze, go to other places to see, Zuo Chuanxin is injured and can't run far, don't waste time here!" ”

"How could Ling'er collude with outsiders!?"

Xiang An said this with a little anger, but everyone who heard it was like being pardoned.

They know Zhou Ling'er's temper, this eldest lady is difficult to deal with, they are caught in the middle can be said to be angry at both ends, they can get rid of this hot potato, they are naturally happy to see it, and they hurriedly confessed one after another and fled away.

Seeing this, Zhou Ling'er secretly thought that the matter had been revealed, she breathed a sigh of relief, turned her head and hugged Xiang An's arm again, and said coquettishly: "I know that Brother Xiang An is the best, and he won't let those who bully me." ”

Xiang An touched Zhou Ling'er's head dotingly when he heard this, and said, "You, you're naughty." ”

"Hee-hee." Zhou Linger stuck out her tongue and smiled playfully.

"By the way, Lu Qi is also missing." And at this moment, Xiang An suddenly said.

Zhou Ling'er's heart jumped, and her face changed slightly, but she quickly regained her calm.

She feigned surprise and said, "Yes...... Is it? ”

"Isn't he unconscious? How could it suddenly disappear? Is he cured? ”

Xiang An said: "Lu Qi's condition is difficult to save the immortals, we have even invited the best Langzhong, and we are still helpless against him, how can we be good to ourselves?" ”

Zhou Linger nodded absentmindedly and did not respond.

And at this moment, Xiang An suddenly turned his head to look at her, Zhou Ling'er panicked, and subconsciously avoided Xiang An's gaze.

Xiang An asked at this time: "Ling'er, did you ask Zuo Chuanxin to take Lu Qi to find Chu Qingxiao?" ”

Zhou Ling'er's face changed suddenly, and her expression was flustered: "I don't understand what Brother Xiang An is talking about?" Why should I save them......"

Xiang An seemed to have seen through Zhou Ling'er's mind a long time ago.

He said to himself: "It's good that I know about this first, if I let the master know, maybe I will punish you." ”

"Let's go, we're going to bring them back now, it's still too late."

Seeing this, Zhou Linger also knew that this matter could not be hidden.

She hurriedly said, "Brother Xiang An, things are not what you think. ”

"Cao Lun really cultivated his magic skills, when I brought Cao Lun back that day, Elder Tang was still thinking about treating Cao Lun's injuries, and it was in this way that he discovered the abnormalities on Cao Lun's body......

"Moreover, I thought about it carefully, the appearance of Lu Qi coming back that day really didn't look like he had been injured."

"I also specially asked other people, Lu Qi that night, someone saw him in and out of Tianhang City with Chu Qingxiao, and the two seemed to have a good relationship......

"I thought...... Anyway, the doctor in Tianhang Mountain can't save him, so it's better to let Chu Qingxiao try......"

"Nonsense!" Xiang An's voice was a little louder at this time.

"Don't you know who Chu Qingxiao is? If you send Lu Qi to him, it will be a sheep into the tiger's mouth! ”

"Ling'er, you are too willful!"

This was probably the first time in Zhou Ling'er's memory that she was reprimanded by Xiang An like this, she was stunned in place, staring at Xiang An incredulously, as if she didn't know the person in front of her.

Xiang An also realized his gaffe, he hurriedly softened his tone, and said, "Ling'er, I don't blame you. ”

"I know that if you care, you will be chaotic, but Chu Qingxiao is really not a good person, I won't tell Shizun about this matter, but you can't add chaos again."

But this time, Zhou Ling'er, who had always been obedient to him, said: "I don't understand, Brother Xiang An, why are you so hostile to Chu Qingxiao?" ”

"Aren't he fellow countrymen with you? Even if you didn't have a relationship in the past, it wouldn't give rise to a grudge, right? ”

"Lu Qi's life is hanging by a thread, what if you let Chu Qingxiao try?"

Xiang An's face turned cold: "You don't understand." ”

After saying this, he looked at the disciples who came with him on the side, and said, "Senior Sister Zhou is ill today, you take her back to rest, remember, let her rest well, and don't take half a step out of the door." ”

"You dare!" Zhou Ling'er was shocked when she heard this, and looked at the disciples on the side and said angrily.

On one side was Gan Quanfeng's senior brother, and on the other side was Zhou Zhenshou's most beloved granddaughter, and that disciple suddenly made a mistake.

For a while, I stood in place, hesitating more than what to do.

Xiang An naturally sensed his hesitation, he looked sideways at the other party, and a strange blood color flashed in his eyes.

"I said, take Senior Sister Zhou back to rest!"

At that moment, the disciple's body trembled.

The next moment, the hesitation on his face dissipated, his eyes became hollow, he stepped forward, no longer had any scruples, pulled Zhou Ling'er, and walked towards Zhou Linger's residence, in the process, he turned a deaf ear to Zhou Linger's angry scolding.

Xiang An stood in place, looking at Zhou Ling'er who was walking away, and the expression on his face gradually became gloomy.

His face turned cold, and his eyes flashed with a vicious light.

"Chu Qingxiao!"

"It's you again!"

"Why do you always have to go against me!"

He muttered to himself in a low voice.

At the same time, the Shenquan Sword located on the top of Ganquan Peak seemed to feel Xiang An's anger, blood light surged on the sword's body, a ghost appeared, his hands were open, and a figure that was exactly the same as Xiang An appeared in his palm.

He looked at Xiang An's phantom and said.

"Since it's an obstacle, let's kill him."

"Bring that Lu Qi back to me......"

"I want his life!"

"Sacrifice him to me, and I will give you everything you want to have......"
