"The forces behind the Heavenly Treasure Pavilion?" Although Xuanye sensed that the Heavenly Treasure Pavilion was not ordinary, it was not particularly mysterious. Of course, it may also be that the forces behind it are too big, which is why they are so well hidden.

The woman nodded: "Tianbao Pavilion has two strongholds in Dongzhou, and Shocking Deer Town is one of them. They have been rooted for 20 years, and they have been doing well, but recently, they have been involved with us. After some investigation, it was found that the veins behind it were intertwined, and even extended beyond Dongzhou. ”

Xuanye was shocked in his heart, he got along twice, but he didn't find that the Heavenly Treasure Pavilion was so deep.

But even the force in front of him has investigated himself so clearly, presumably Tianbao Pavilion has already known his true identity, but it has not been exposed.

"So, is this meeting also under the surveillance of the Heavenly Treasure Pavilion?" He thought to himself, weighing the pros and cons of this deal.

The woman saw what Xuan Ye was thinking, and said with a smile: "Don't worry, although the Heavenly Treasure Pavilion has a lot of power behind it, in Jinglu Town, it is like a small branch, and its strength is limited. It's still our Zikui who has the final say here. ”

These words did not reassure Xuanye, and he pushed the treasure box back, "You better find someone else, I'm not interested in this transaction." ”

"I don't want you to do anything, you just need to have more contact with the Heavenly Treasure Pavilion, and you will naturally get in touch with the forces behind it, and then reveal the news to me. I believe that with your ability, it is not difficult to do. ”

Seeing that Xuanye did not change her mind because of this, the woman stared slightly, revealing a trace of urgency. "This Danfang may be the only one in Dongzhou, plus, if you agree, I can also help you cultivate that organization."

But when these words reached Xuanye's ears, they were threatening. From the moment it hits the scales, the deal is not destined to work out. I stayed for so long to hear more information.

Now that he knows the name of Zikui, as long as he goes back and investigates again, there is no need to stay any longer.

As for that Danfang, I can only think of another way.

Although he wanted to, he would not put himself in danger because of it.

Seeing that Xuanye got up to leave, the corner of the woman's eyes twitched, slapped the table, and said coldly: "You can hide in Xuantianguan, but the night owl can't hide!" ”

Xuanye sneered in his heart, this poisonous snake still showed its fangs, his eyes showed coldness, and he turned around and looked: "Really?" Then wait until the day I go out of the mountain and see where Zikui can hide! ”

After speaking, Xuanye stepped out of the courtyard gate.

After the people left, the woman angrily lifted the birdcage and smashed it to the ground.

The poor multicolored feather, before he understood what was happening, was pierced through his body by the sharp cage bone, and let out a wail.

As if she was still angry, she stomped on the colorful feather a few times, until the screams stopped abruptly, then she stopped ravaging and sat down panting.

At this moment, an attendant walked over, as if he was not surprised by this scene. "Second Miss, the head of the family asked you to go over."

The woman's body trembled, a few strands of hair fell down, and she said to herself, "Father? Could it be that he knew? ”

Soon after, the woman came to an empty hall, looked at the terrified face reflected on the clear oil floor, and then looked at the man sitting on the throne, and knelt on the ground consciously.

"Take your clothes off."

The woman shuddered violently, but honestly took off her cloak and folded it neatly aside.

The man on the throne rose angrily, drew a long whip from the shelf on the side, and threw it fiercely.

After the whip, there was a bloody streak on the woman's back, but she pursed her lips so hard that she did not dare to make a sound.

The whip was not stopped, and the man holding the long whip asked sharply: "I said that you should act without permission, why did you startle the snake?" ”

The woman did not dare to speak, but broke out in a cold sweat and curled up on the ground.

It wasn't until the flesh and blood on his back were blurred that the man dropped the long whip and said coldly: "Come on, pull her to claustrophobia, you can't let her out without my order!" ”

The woman's body trembled even more, and her voice burst into tears, "Father, I... I just wanted to help you! ”

"Help me?" The man smiled coldly, and picked up the long whip on the ground again, "You're as useless as your dead mother!" If it weren't for my own flesh and blood, I'd strangled you right now! Drag it out! ”

The woman shrunk and was dragged away by the attendants, her red eyes full of hatred, and she murmured in her heart: "It's all to blame on that bastard, if you would promise me, my father would not be angry, and he would not have thrown me into claustrophobia!" Bastard! Bastard—"

……

Walking on the street, Xuanye suddenly felt a chill on his back, and after looking around, he found that there was no abnormality, and then came to the meeting place that he had made an appointment with the whitefriar.

The white-clothed monk hid in a remote alley, and only after seeing Xuanye did he dare to lean out, "It's okay if you're okay." It seems that we haven't passed each other's names yet, Changming, and you saved me again. ”

Xuanye always thought that Changming and Nanguanghong were together, why would they still stay in Jinglu Town? He asked, "Why are you here?" What about Big Brother Nan? ”

Changming smiled bitterly, "If I want to survive with a loose cultivation like me, I can only follow into the mountains to hunt beasts." As for Nan Guanghong, he also left shortly after you left. I heard that the Tsing Yi Gate is even empty, and I don't know where they can hide. ”

Xuanye remembered the conversation before parting, and felt that he still had to go to Yunsheng Mansion, maybe Nan Guanghong would go there.

Changming glanced at Xuanye and whispered, "I don't know if you have heard that the Tianlan Sect was intercepted and killed outside the Shocking Deer Town. Except for Mo Lan, there was no survivor, and even the elder was killed! ”

He paused for a moment, and suddenly asked, "You shouldn't have done that, right?" ”

Xuanye was stunned for a moment, smiled and shook his head, "There are many people on the other side, and there are still elders, how can I be able to fight." ”

Changming nodded, "Yes, but you still have to be careful." I heard that the Tianlan Sect also went to the northwest to destroy a sect because of this incident, but still didn't find a clue, so I suspect that Nanguang Hong may also implicate you. ”

Xuanye was stunned for a moment, thinking that he had casually reported the name of the Pen Spirit Sect, but he didn't expect to find out.

During the conversation, the two came to the small courtyard.

Jiang Ningyue heard the sound, and as soon as she walked out, she saw Xuanye supporting a man covered in blood, and asked in surprise, "What is this?" Who are you in conflict with? ”

"Huh?" Changming was stunned, and after glancing at Jiang Ningyue, he smiled and said, "Okay, the last time I saw you, it wasn't this one, and you changed it so quickly?" ”

Xuanye sank his face, although his voice was very small, it was difficult to guarantee that Jiang Ningyue would not hear it, "What nonsense are you talking about?" This is my sister! ”

"Eh, I understand, I understand~"

Xuanye sighed helplessly, not wanting to bother to speak.

After getting to know each other, they explained to Jiang Ningyue what happened on the road, but they concealed the part where they were taken away by Zikui, not wanting her to be involved.

Because Xuanye had already dealt with the matter, he let Changming stay here to heal, and they had to rush back to Xuantian Temple.

Before leaving, he told Changming that if he couldn't stay here, he could go to Yunsheng Mansion, maybe it would be better than this.

This time he came to Shocking Deer Town, Xuanye gained a lot, especially the matter of Zikui, which gave him a wake-up call. Now that the weakness of the night stalker has been exposed, it's time to find a way to increase its strength.

After leaving Surprise Deer Town, the two headed south.

Halfway, Jiang Ningyue, who thought of something, suddenly smiled. "Senior Brother Xuan, the people of the Tianlan Sect you are talking about, maybe there will be a chance to meet them. In half a year, the Genting Festival will open, and at that time, the qualified sects of Dongzhou will come, presumably the one sent by the Tianlan Sect is that Lin Qingyu. ”

After listening to it, Xuanye didn't pay much attention to it. Lin Qingyu alone can't stir up any waves, as long as Tianlan Sect doesn't chase after him.

Three days later, Xuanye finally saw the familiar mountains, and for some reason, this time it was a little more intimate.

Flying all the way up the mountain, after saying goodbye to Jiang Ningyue in the square, he hurried to the book pavilion.

Thinking about it, it has been almost two months since he left the mountain this time, and Kui Lao should have come back a long time ago, so he must have waited until he was angry.

He came to the third floor with a light car, and by the dim candlelight, he saw the white-haired old man looking at a book of ancient ceremonies, and immediately knelt on his knees. "Disciple meets the teacher."

The old man's face froze, looking at the half-kneeling young man, stunned for a moment, the light in his eyes flickered, and finally sighed faintly, "It's good to come back, it's good to come back." ”

"It's the disciple who is reckless and leaves the mountain without permission, please punish the teacher."

"You must have your own reasons for going down the mountain, I see that you are covered in wind and frost, so let's go back and rest first."

Seeing that Xuanye was delayed, the old man had no choice but to limp over and help him up with his powerful palms.

"You've suffered a lot along the way, haven't you? Those who achieve great things are not informal. I'm nominally your teacher, but when it comes to it, we're supposed to be working together. When the time is not so short, you go back to rest first, and then start cultivating after three days. ”

Xuanye was silent, and after saluting respectfully, he turned around and left.

Although what Kui Lao said is true, they are just a cooperative relationship. But in his heart, since he worshiped the teacher, he had to respect the teacher and conform to etiquette, not to mention that the time was already urgent, and this was indeed caused by him going down the mountain privately.

Returning to the lodgings along the familiar mountain path, before entering the door, he saw a tall figure standing at the door.

Xuanye was surprised who it was, thinking that Li Shu knew the news of his return to the mountain so soon, and when he looked at it, it was a haggard sky! He asked, "Liekong, why are you here?" ”

"Brother Xuanye, you're finally back! Yunsheng Mansion, night owl, something happened! ”

Xuanye was shocked, and secretly thought that it could be that Zikui really did it? However, it was quickly vetoed, and if that were the case, it would not have been possible for the Burning Sky to come over so quickly.

Liekong grabbed the black-clothed young man, his hands trembling slightly. "Hurry, if you don't hurry, it may be too late!"

Only then did Xuan Ye see that the eyes of the fierce sky were already covered with bloodshots, and his face was depressed. I must have been waiting for several days, and hurriedly took him and ran down the mountain.

On the way, Liekong also told the story.

"Seven days ago, a Taoist priest came to Yunsheng Mansion to sell medicine, and because the effect of the medicine was too magical, he took most of the guests of the night owl. But then strange things suddenly happened, and there were many white-skinned weirdos in the city. ”

Hearing this, Xuanye's heart sank, and he had already roughly thought of what had happened, and at the same time gritted his teeth and muttered, "Okay, I'm not looking for you, but you're still coming to the door!" New and old accounts, settle together! ”
