Tong Yan tried to carry tall and strong, but in her current state, she couldn't do this at all.

She tried several times, but finally sat on the ground and cried helplessly.

Xiao Zhan was extremely vigilant and still did not show up.

Slowly, the sun sets and night falls again.

Xiao Zhan finally came out of the grass where he was hiding this time and walked towards the hillside where Tong Yan was.

"Who!"

Tong Yan's voice was full of crying, obviously treating Xiao Zhan as Ai Shou and the black-robed swordsman who had turned back again.

Xiao Zhan lowered his voice and said:

"Ai Shou and that black-robed swordsman, most of them went to find someone more powerful."

"If you don't leave now, it's really dangerous."

Hearing Xiao Zhan's voice, Tong Yan suddenly cried with a whin:

"Xiao Zhan, Ai Shou...... Ai Shou, that bastard, why did he betray us!"

"Gao Zhuang had an arm cut off to save him, why did he betray us!"

Xiao Zhan didn't speak, and let Tong Yan vent.

Then Xiao Zhan walked to Gao Zhuang's side, and after carrying him on his back, he gritted his teeth and said:

"Let's go, let's get out of here first!"

A cultivator's body is as heavy as a mountain.

But fortunately, Gao Zhuang had exhausted the energy of his whole body before, which allowed Xiao Zhan to carry his back.

But even so, the weight of his tall body still made Xiao Zhan a little unbearable.

Tong Yan was in a state of six gods and no master at this time, so he could only follow behind Xiao Zhan, lifting Gao Zhuang with his hands to reduce Xiao Zhan's pressure.

It took three hours, and Xiao Zhan and the three of them advanced less than five miles.

In the end, Xiao Zhan found a hidden cave and completely sealed the entrance of the cave, and then a fire was raised.

In the damp and cold cave, there is a hint of warmth.

Tong Yan had red circles in his eyes and choked up:

"Xiao Zhan, do you think Gao Zhuang will die?"

Xiao Zhan didn't answer.

Because in his current state, there is no way to treat Gao Zhuang's injuries.

He took out the communication jade talisman that Tong Yan had given him before, and motioned for Tong Yan to send a message to her master for help.

But Tong Yan shook his head:

"My communication talisman was damaged in the previous battle, so that's why I gave it to you as a token."

"Now I can't even communicate at all."

Xiao Zhan pondered for a moment and said: .

"Is there a way for you to recover your strength as soon as possible?"

Tong Yan nodded:

"Three days, after three days, my strength will be able to recover somewhat, and then I can return to the Ethereal Sect with Gao Zhuang."

Xiao Zhan shook his head:

"Ai Shou and that black-robed swordsman shouldn't let you go so easily."

"Tell me first, why did they attack you?"

Tong Yan hesitated for a few seconds, then took out a sealed scroll from the storage ring.

She looked at Xiao Zhan and said:

"It's a lot of information in this scroll, but I don't know what it is."

Xiao Zhan frowned:

"Then Ai Shou and the black-robed swordsman will definitely not let you go so easily, they will definitely contact more people and then intercept you near your Ethereal Sect."

"It's not a wise move for you to go back now, the best way is to take Gao Zhuang to a safe place to hide first, and then find a way to contact the powerhouse of your Ethereal Sect."

Tong Yan wiped his tears:

"But how do I contact my master?"

Xiao Zhan pondered again for two seconds:

"Do you know where the other disciples of your Ethereal Sect are?"

Tong Yan thought for a while, and suddenly said:

"Before leaving, my master quietly told me that there was a senior sister in Emerald City who was hurt by love many years ago and later quit the Ethereal Sect

, settled in Blue City, and said that if I encounter danger, let me go and ask my senior sister for help."

Xiao Zhan's eyes lit up:

"Have you ever told Ai Shou about this?"

Tong Yan shook his head:

"I forgot about this before, so no one knows about Gao Zhuang and Ai Shou."

Xiao Zhan nodded:

"How far is Azure City from here?"

Tong Yan took out a map and looked at it, then told Xiao Zhan:

"It will take about three days to get there."

Xiao Zhan didn't speak, looked at the dying tall strong, sighed and said:

"We can't travel with the strong."

"You recover some strength as soon as possible, and then rush to the world where you are looking for you, and I will stay and guard Gao Zhuang."

"But I don't know if Gao Zhuang will last until the day you return."

Hearing this, Tong Yan's tears couldn't help but flow out again.

"No, Xiao Zhan, can I ask you for a favor, can you go to Blue City to find my senior sister?"

"In this way, when my strength recovers a little, I can still protect Gao Zhuang's heart, maybe I can let him hold on until my senior sister comes over."

Xiao Zhan frowned and thought for a moment, then nodded and said:

"It's okay, but you have to give me a token to make your sister believe me."

"Also, you have to try not to be noticed that you're here, and it's best not to leave."

Tong Yan nodded and took out a hosta from the storage ring:

"Master said that this is a gift from Senior Sister to her, and Senior Sister will believe you when she sees this hosta."

"Also, Master told me that Senior Sister lives in Blue City and runs a liquor store called Nian Huai."

"But the last time Master saw Senior Sister was ten years ago, and Senior Sister is still not there, so I can't tell."

Xiao Zhan didn't waste time, took the hosta out of the cave, and completely blocked the entrance of the cave, then looked at the direction, and then ran away.

It's just that Xiao Zhan was also very tired at this time, so he could only pick some wild fruits in the mountains and forests to replenish his physical strength.

And by the time Xiao Zhan arrived at Azure City, it was already seven days later.

Tong Yan said three days, that was three days for her, Xiao Zhan could arrive in seven days, and she was already desperately on the road.

By the time he entered Azure City, Xiao Zhan had already lost a lot of weight, and his whole state was on the verge of collapse.

When he stood at the door of the Nianhuai wine shop, he finally couldn't hold on any longer, and his eyes were black and he fell to the door of the wine shop, losing consciousness.

By the time Xiao Zhan woke up, it was already late at night.

When he opened his eyes, he saw a starry night sky.

Xiao Zhan only felt extremely sore all over his body, and he didn't have the strength to get up at all, so he could only turn his head slightly and look at the surrounding scene.

He lay in the corner of the courtyard, surrounded by wine jars, and the yard was overgrown with weeds.

Apparently, this liquor store has been abandoned for many years.

Suddenly, Xiao Zhan turned his head and saw a woman sitting on the roof next to him.

She looked up at the moon and held a flask in her hand, looking extremely melancholy.

"Awake?"

The woman looked back at Xiao Zhan.

The moonlight was hazy, Xiao Zhan couldn't see the woman's appearance clearly, but he subconsciously felt that her voice was a little familiar.

The woman's figure flashed, leaving a string of phantoms in the air, and then stood next to Xiao Zhan, and with a wave of her hand, a soft energy took Xiao Zhan to sit up.

"Your body is already collapsing, what is it that makes you lose your life?"

"Also, how did you know I was here?"

Xiao Zhan finally saw the woman's face clearly.

He shouted in some surprise:

"Shopkeeper."

Zhou Yuqin lifted the wine jar and poured it into his mouth, and asked again:

"Answer my question."

Xiao Zhan didn't speak, but took out the jade given by Tong Yan from his arms

Hairpin.

Zhou Yuqin's eyes lit up, and the hosta flew into her hand.

Her body trembled a little, and she asked for a long time:

"Why is this hosta in your hand?"

Hearing this, Xiao Zhan immediately knew that Zhou Yuqin was the senior sister in Tong Yan's mouth.

What a coincidence!

Immediately, Xiao Zhan told Tong Yan and Gao Zhuang about it.

Some time ago, when Tong Yan and the three of them took Xiao Zhan to the guest house, Zhou Yuqin did not show up upstairs, obviously not knowing that Tong Yan and the three of them had been there.

After listening to Xiao Zhan's description at this time, Zhou Yuqin did not hesitate at all, sacrificed a silver-white flying sword, stretched out his hand, and flew into the air with Xiao Zhan's sword.

Just an hour later, the two returned to the cave where Tong Yan and Gao Zhuang were hiding.

It's just that at this time, the entrance to the cave is in ruins, and there is no childlike face and tall figure inside.

Zhou Yuqin's eyes lit up:

"There are a total of four remnants of aura here, Tong Yan and Gao Zhuang, who should have been arrested."

Hearing this, Xiao Zhan walked into the cave, and after some searching, he found the sealed scroll in a gap in the cave wall.

Then Xiao Zhan handed the scroll to Zhou Yuqin.

A flash of surprise flashed in Zhou Yuqin's eyes:

"It turned out to be the Ethereal Sect's special seal, it seems that the information in this scroll is extremely important."

Zhou Yuqin pondered for two seconds, put the scroll into the storage ring, and then flew out with Xiao Zhan's sword.

An hour later, both of them saw the flying carpet in front of them.

Xiao Zhan said in a deep voice:

"That's them!"

Zhou Yuqin's figure flashed, holding a sword in his hand and rolling up the sword qi in the sky, blasting out towards the flying carpet in front of him.

Xiao Zhan was carried by a soft force and fell into the mountains and forests below.

In the next moment, a violent explosion sounded, and the fierce wind blew the entire mountain forest as if it was about to be uprooted.

After a short battle, Zhou Yuqin took two corpses, as well as Gao Zhuang and Tong Yan, and landed beside Xiao Zhan.

Zhou Yuqin checked Gao Zhuang's injuries and took out the pill to treat him.

Tong Yan had already woken up at this time, and after seeing the situation clearly, he cast a grateful look at Xiao Zhan.

Xiao Zhan shook his head, "You helped me before, and I should help."

Zhou Yuqin had already begun to check the situation of the black-robed swordsman at this time.

At the tiger's mouth in the swordsman's right hand, she found a black crescent mark, and her eyes suddenly turned cold:

"People of the Black Moon Sword Sect."

Tong Yan exhaled a breath of turbidity:

"Senior sister, we must rush back to the Ethereal Sect immediately and inform Master of the situation."

Zhou Yuqin frowned and didn't speak, after a long time, she took out a pen and paper, wrote a letter and handed it to Tong Yan, and then said:

"Tong Yan, you take Gao Zhuang and Xiao Zhan back to the Ethereal Sect."

"Hand over this letter to Master."

As she spoke, she took out the scroll and handed it to Tong Yan.

Tong Yan was stunned for a moment:

"Senior sister, aren't you going back to see Master?"

Zhou Yuqin smiled bitterly:

"I don't have the face to go back to see Master."

After speaking, Zhou Yuqin rose into the air and Edgeworth left.
