Five days later, the two suddenly stopped in a wooded mountainside. He looked ahead with a bitter face.

More than a dozen feet in front of them, there was a wooden sign slightly taller than a person, with a big 'forbidden' written on it.

Fang Yan frowned and looked around, and soon realized that there was more than one such wooden sign. On his left and right sides, there are one at intervals of a dozen zhang, and looking at its appearance, it seems that there is a tendency to use these wooden signs to surround the mountains in front of him.

"What now?" Fang Tingting asked, a hint of worry appeared between her eyebrows: "These wooden signs should be erected by Qingyun Peak, if we continue to move forward, I'm afraid it will ......."

Fang Yan sighed, he didn't seem to expect Qingyun's protection to be so tight, you know, this place is still a hundred miles away from the foot of Qingyun Peak.

"Now that they've marked it, let's not encroach on their authority. Otherwise, if they find out, I'm afraid they will directly take our lives, who knows if there are strong guards inside. Let's go, go down the mountain. At this location, I'm afraid that only the avenue at the foot of the mountain can be entered. ”

Fang Tingting nodded, and followed the dialect down the mountain. Two hours later, the two appeared on an avenue at the foot of the mountain. The avenue is about two zhang wide, stretching along the foot of the mountain one by one towards the depths of the mountain range, winding and winding, with no end in sight.

This avenue is the only way for Fang Yan and others to enter Qingyun Peak. There were a lot of pedestrians walking on the avenue at this time, and when these people saw the two people coming out of the mountains and forests on the side, they couldn't help but look twice.

Ignoring everyone's strange gazes, Fang Yan cautiously looked through the crowd, and only breathed a sigh of relief after not seeing the figures of Wu Wen and the others.

"What do we do now?" Fang Tingting also looked around, and asked as she walked: "Only this road can enter, Wu Wen will definitely not let us go like this, if nothing else, they should intercept us on this road." They've been walking on this flat road, and now it's definitely ahead of us. Maybe they're waiting for us at the foot of the mountain. ”

Fang Yan looked back and said, "This place is still a hundred miles away from the foot of Qingyun Peak, they shouldn't intercept it at this location." Let's go first, just be careful. If they do intercept halfway, let's see if they can sneak past while it's dark. Alas, it would be nice to find a helper in the middle of the Soul Condensation Realm. ”

"Helper?" Fang Tingting smiled bitterly: "At this time, who will help us?" Didn't even Zhang Yang, who you saved once, watch us flee for our lives? ”

"You can't blame him for that." Fang Yan shook his head and said seriously: "If it were me, I would be like him." After all, our opponent is too strong for him to help at all. If he had fled with us, I'm afraid I'd have doubted his motives. Don't you feel a little scary that you just know someone who hasn't even met for a quarter of an hour, facing an opponent who can't resist, and you can stay out of the situation, but you want to run for your life with you? ”

"But you just saved his life." Fang Tingting didn't expect Fang Yan to help Zhang Yang explain, and couldn't help but hurriedly say: "Shouldn't he reciprocate?" ”

"Return?" Fang Yan smiled, a little desolate. "If you're going to help someone, don't expect anything in return, or you'll be the only one who suffers. You must know that in the face of interests, any kindness is false. That's the cruelty of this world. Do you remember the two men in white who fought with Zhang Yang? In the face of life and death, everything seems so pale and powerless. I've been thinking these days, what would I do if I were that guy in white who ran for my life? The answer came out in the end, which was very cruel. Perhaps, I will do the same thing as him, after all, that is the only way to save my life. ”

"I don't expect my friends to come to my aid when I'm in trouble, as long as they don't fall into trouble, I'm satisfied. The world is inherently selfish. What's more, Zhang Yang and I only said a few more words, and we are not friends. Fang Yan glanced at Fang Tingting, and said in a heavy tone: "Walking in this world, don't rely too much on others, only on yourself." Regardless of whether you are selected by Qingyun Peak or not, you will have to rely on yourself to go on the next road. I can't be by your side all the time, and once you're out of Heavenly Bow City, you'll have to face and adapt to this cruel world on your own. ”

Fang Tingting looked stunned, looking at Fang Yan in a daze, it was hard to imagine that such a sentence came from the mouth of a sixteen-year-old boy. If she hadn't seen his face, she would have even thought that this was said by an old man who had gone through vicissitudes.

Fang Tingting has never been bullied, nor has she experienced the despair and helplessness experienced by Fang Yan, so naturally she can't understand his feelings. Unable to comprehend his perception of the world.

Thinking of the last sentence of the dialect, her heart welled up with warmth, followed by bitterness. This kind of thing should have been admonished by the elders of the family.

Looking up slightly, looking at Fang Yan's somewhat thin body, her nose couldn't help but sour. It was only then that she suddenly remembered that in terms of age and age, she should take care of him by herself. But the fact is the opposite, since she left Heavenly Bow City, it has always been this young man who she should call her cousin who has been protecting her. If it weren't for him, even if she could get out of Heavenly Bow City, she might not be able to live until now.

"I ...... Is it your friend? After more than half an hour, Fang Tingting suddenly asked such a sentence.

The dialect that walked in front shook his head.

Seeing this, Fang Tingting's body shook slightly, her face turned a little pale, and she laughed at herself, very desolate.

Fang Yan, who was walking in front, didn't see Fang Tingting's face change, and said to himself: "You and I are originally a family, although I once said that you and I have nothing to do with each other, but it is a fact that you and I are in the same vein that cannot be changed." ”

Fang Yan's tone was calm, and his voice was emotionless, but it was extremely warm to Fang Tingting's ears. Two lines of tears fell uncontrollably from his eyes. Then she smiled, especially brightly......

Fang Yan looked around cautiously, keeping his eyes on the front, for fear that Wu Wen and the others would suddenly come out. At the same time, he also tried to find a person in the middle of the soul condensation realm in the crowd.

But what disappointed him was that three or four hours had passed, and he hadn't found a powerhouse in the middle of the Soul Condensation Realm. Not to mention the middle stage of the Soul Condensation Realm, even the early stage of the people was very few, only two or three people.

Looking at the gradually darkening sky, Fang Yan's mood also became a little heavy. I didn't see Wu Wen and the others along the way, obviously these people were afraid of missing the selection time of Qingyun Peak, and they were waiting for them at the final level.

After another half an hour, Fang Yan suddenly stopped, looked ahead and muttered.

"Is this there?"

Fang Tingting looked up, and her lips couldn't help but open slightly.

Hundreds of feet ahead, the avenue gradually widened, and finally merged with an empty flat land. On the huge flat ground, the lights are bright, and there are burning bonfires everywhere. Illuminate the neighborhood in daylight.

The flat floor was filled with people who had come from all over the world to participate in the selection. There are tens of thousands of people, which is quite spectacular.

Tens of thousands of people gathered in one place, but there was no noisy noise. Everyone has a tacit understanding of sitting or lying, sitting quietly and resting. Even if a few people are talking about something, try to keep your voice to a minimum so as not to disturb others.

In such an environment, no one dares to offend the wrath of the public.

Fang Yan carefully inspected the intersection, but unexpectedly did not find Wu Wen and the others. His brow furrowed tightly. couldn't help but glance at the man in black beside Wu Wen.

Enemies are terrible when they are hidden in the shadows.

Fang Yan thought for a moment, then turned back to Fang Tingting and said, "You wait here, I'll go and explore first." ”

Before he could finish speaking, a sitting figure not far in front of him suddenly jumped up, waving his palms, mixed with fierce energy, and quickly struck at him. In the blink of an eye, he was in front of him.
