The sunset is like blood, and the waning moon is like a hook!

Night quickly enveloped the Holy Continent, this is a vast mountain forest area, lush trees shade the earth, several high mountains stand in the forest, the sound of rushing water resounded in the quiet night sky, making bursts of light sounds.

The waning moon hanging from the canopy of the sky was like a hook emitting a cold light, and the white light sprinkled down, rendering this mountain forest area with a layer of hazy white light.

The moonlight reflected on the water, sparkling and rippling around, making the entire long river seem to evolve into a moonlight streamer. There was no sound in the mountains and forests except the sound of murmuring water, as silent as the deep black night sky.

A bonfire rose in the river, red flames swaying in the gentle river breeze, the crackling sound of dry wood bursting kept coming from the campfire, and the little sparks drifted away with the heat of the flames to the sky.

There was a huge rabbit sandwiched on the bonfire, the rabbit meat was roasted golden brown, and the rich aroma emanated, gradually diffusing into the air, and the grease seeped and dripped down, making the flame even stronger.

Zhang Yan flipped the rabbit meat with a faint smile, while the other three people around the campfire stared at the rabbit meat on the shelf without blinking, and their stomachs were also growling.

"Teacher, are you still alright?" Ji Ningyan asked, a hint of anxiety appeared on her delicate face.

"Gollum!"

Lin Gu swallowed a mouthful of saliva, and said a little uneagerly: "Enough, it's enough to bake it again." ”

Shen Zhinuo, on the other hand, was relatively much calmer, but her unassuming stomach showed that her situation was not much better than that of Lin Gu and the others.

Only beginner-level Xuan cultivators need to obtain some energy from food, and with Zhang Yan's current realm strength, all the energy required by their bodies can be replenished with Xuan Qi. But as human beings, especially when they haven't tasted food for a long time, in the face of such a fragrant roast rabbit, they have become like those mortals, and they have a full sense of hunger!

After a while, Ji Ningyan's eyes turned green when he looked at the rabbit meat, and hurriedly said, "Teacher, enough, enough, I'm so hungry, hurry up and eat!"

And Lin Gu swallowed saliva again and again, and there was a touch of haze in the left corner.

Seeing that Ji Ningyan and the three of them were really a little impatient, Zhang Yan smiled, and with a flick of his fingertips, a flame burst out of the bonfire, and the flames instantly rose three feet, wrapping the rabbit meat, as if the rabbit meat was burning.

"Give!"

Fingers lightly swiped across the space, one rabbit leg flew towards Ji Ningyan, and the other floated in front of Shen Zhinuo.

"I don't need it!" Lin Gu grinned, his palm swiped, and the remaining rabbit meat was instantly divided into two halves, and then he held it in his palm, and half of the rabbit meat fell into his hands, and then began to devour it like a hungry wolf.

"Brother Lin, you are cheating! You have eaten half of it alone. Ji Ningyan said with a snort on her jade lips.

"Hehe, you asked your teacher to bake another one. Lin Gu smiled and continued to enjoy the barbecue in his hand.

Zhang Yan smiled helplessly, divided the remaining half of the roast rabbit into three, Zhang Yan took one, and gave the other two to Shen Zhinuo and Ji Ningyan.

However, Zhang Yan generally eats the barbecue in his hand, and at the same time sandwiches a bigger guy on the bonfire rack, which is a wolf that is five feet long!

Soon, Ji Ningyan and the others finished the food in their hands, and continued to stare at the larger roast wolf meat, and gradually, the aroma overflowed from the wolf meat and drifted towards the mountains and forests.

"Brother Lin, hurry up and grab the bigger head, I don't think this wolf meat is enough for us to share." Ji Ningyan turned her head and looked at Lin Gu with a smile on her face, her eyes staring directly at the wolf meat.

Lin Gumeng came back to his senses, without the slightest excuse, and immediately nodded in response, and said, "This is a good idea, but you have to keep half of this wolf meat with me!"

"That depends on how fast you come back!" Zhang Yan smiled faintly.

Hearing this, Lin Gu's figure flickered, and he disappeared like a gust of wind.

In less than a moment, there was a roar and a few screams of spirit beasts in the silent mountain forest.

Without waiting for the wolf meat to be cooked, Lin Gu just carried a huge two-headed tiger of twenty zhang back to Zhang Yan and them.

"Ning Yan, is this guy enough?" Lin Gu said as he shook the two-headed tiger in his hand.

"Almost!" Ji Ningyan smiled slightly, and then said very sadly: "It seems that I can only not rest tonight." ”

Zhang Yan glanced at Ji Ningyan angrily, and shook his head helplessly: "I am now the one in charge of your food." ”

......

Time passed little by little, and the night was gradually dispelled by a layer of faint white light, and a bright light slowly appeared in the eastern sky.

Zhang Yan sat beside the bonfire, quietly staring at the firewood that was still a little burning, and then looked softly at Ji Ningyan, who was sleeping next to him, and the picture that came to his mind never dissipated.

In the first moment, Xue Linglong relied on him to sleep soundly!

"I wonder where they are now, how are they doing?!"

The sun gradually rose, covering the mountains and forests, reflecting on Zhang Yan and them, and a trace of warm heat came, warming their bodies.

Shen Zhinuo was the first to wake up, but in this peaceful night, whether she really fell asleep or not, only she could understand.

Glancing at Zhang Yan who fell into silence, a faint layer of tenderness gradually appeared in Shen Zhinuo's beautiful eyes, but it was soon hidden.

"Ningyan, it's time for us to leave!" Zhang Yan looked at Ji Ningyan beside him, and then called softly.

The jade hand rubbed her eyes, Ji Ningyan slowly opened her eyes, and stretched out like a child: "Uh, why did the sun rise so fast, I haven't slept enough!"

"Hurry up, we have to rush back to Longting Academy!" Zhang Yan rubbed Ji Ningyan's head, and then closed his eyes gently.

After a bit of grooming with the river water, the four of them came to the top of a mountain.

"According to the news inquired in the Eastern Regions City, and the direction of our journey in the past few days, the position of the Longjiang Empire is in this direction. Lin Gu pointed to a place in the sky and said.

"We'll have to hurry back. Zhang Yan frowned.

The fact that there was one of the three major prophets in the Ten Heavens Pavilion was definitely bad news for them, which meant that the whereabouts of Shen Zhinuo and Lin Gu might be known by the people of the Ten Heavens Pavilion at any time.

Once Lin Gu and the others were caught by the Ten Heavenly Pavilion, it would be an extremely simple matter to threaten him.

"Let's go. Zhang Yan said, and then swept his figure and slowly flew away in the direction that Lin Gu pointed.

Seeing this, Lin Gu and the three of them also followed closely.

Five days later, a town appeared in Zhang Yan's field of vision.

The terrain here is extremely vast, and the large city is located on the earth, which is very grand and domineering, and it looks like a city-state.

The figures of the four people landed down and appeared five hundred meters away in front of a city, the tall city wall was made of a kind of golden and black rock, like a black golden and iron giant beast crawling on the ground, domineering and majestic, full of deterrence!

"Gangyan City!" Lin Gu looked at the three angular golden characters on the city wall and said, "This should be the Twenty-Three Liancheng!"

Twenty-three cities, clear of its meaning, are composed of twenty-three cities, but the number of cities in this territory is twenty-four, and the last one is called Zhenwu City, which is the first city of the twenty-three cities!

The twenty-three cities are all headed by Zhenwu City, because there is a huge force in Zhenwu City, named Wuzong!

Looking at Gangyan City in front of him, Zhang Yan suddenly had a bad premonition in his heart, the twenty-three cities were extremely huge, comparable to a country. Gu Zhen went to the Eastern Regions, which was even more remote than the Twenty-Three Connected Cities, and eighty percent of the people in the Twenty-Three Connected Cities might have people from the Ten Heavenly Pavilion!

"Let's change our faces and go in!" Zhang Yan said, his palm wiped on his face, and in an instant, he became another person, with a short stubble and a resolute face, looking like a forty-year-old middle-aged man.

Seeing this, Ji Ningyan and the three of them also quickly changed their faces.

Lin Gu was still in his twenties, but he had become a completely different person. Ji Ningyan has become a little girl, a little less mature than before, and a little more playful and delicate.

Shen Zhinuo is covered by an ice sculpture mask, so that people can't see her face.

The four of them walked slowly towards Gangyan City, and entered the city without any hindrance.

"There should only be a teleportation point connected to Zhenwu City in Gangyan City, and the teleportation point to the Longjiang Empire should be in Zhenwu City. Lin Gu said as he looked around.

"I'll go and inquire about the news first, you can find a shop to rest, and I'll go to you soon!" Zhang Yan said, his figure disappearing into invisibility in an instant.

Seeing Zhang Yan leave, Lin Gu and the three of them did not have too much expression on their faces, and continued to walk on the crowded street.

"Brother Lin, Sister Xunuo, let's go shopping for a while, go to the inn and wait for so boring. Ji Ningyan blinked her big eyes and looked at Lin Gu and Shen Zhinuo dryly.

Lin Gu sighed helplessly, and could only follow Ji Ningyan's meaning, and the three of them walked through the lively streets and alleys and started a cheerful shopping trip, but all the expenses were paid by Lin Gu!

On the other side, Zhang Yan's figure appeared in a remote alley, his figure flickered, his clothes turned hemp gray, and he was carrying a five-foot-long gold and iron giant sword behind his back, but this seemingly ordinary giant sword was a genuine king-level weapon.

Walking out of the alley, Zhang Yan slowly approached the center of Gangyan City.

Along the way, all the voices were heard by him.

"I heard that Wu Zong is going to hold a large-scale martial arts meeting recently, and the champion of the martial arts meeting will be rewarded with a mysterious and powerful artifact. ”

"Doesn't Wuzong only hold a martial arts meeting once every three years? Isn't it only a year and a half since the last martial arts meeting? ”

"Who knows, how could we people guess about the matter of the Martial Sect, but this is a grand event!"
