The rising sun shines its light on the earth without hesitation, shining through the shade of the leaves of the trees, like stars twinkling in the sky, a little dazzling, but very crystal beautiful, revealing an unpredictable silence.

This is the deep moon forest in the early morning, with a peaceful silence and a little cold that has not dissipated all night.

The light and shadow shining from the trees, looming melodiously from side to side, a man and a woman and two teenagers walked in the mottled scenery in the forest, a snow-white rabbit, following behind the two, a pair of bewitching eyes were looking around with curious eyes.

At this point, the only sound in the forest was the sound of their balanced footsteps. They are looking for Yue Mochen and Yue Moran who are looking for their senior sister, and that rabbit is naturally Hongyue.

They stopped in one place in the forest, and Yue Moran spoke: "Last night, I was separated from Senior Sister Ying here, and the body of the elder in the palace was not far ahead. ”

The girl's crisp voice rang out, piercing the silence and startling several nearby birds.

"Let's go and have a look. Yue Mochen said.

The two of them walked together in the direction that Yue Moran said, and after a while, they saw a lifeless corpse lying on the ground, and the wounds of the corpse were full of disgusting corpse flies.

There was a bloody hole in the corpse's chest, covered with congealed blood, the dark red blood contrasting strongly with the pale remains, exuding an aura of pathos.

Yue Mochen squatted down with a gloomy expression, carefully examined the wounds on the corpse, looked at the surroundings again, and then took out a samurai suit from the ring and covered the corpse. Then put it in the ring.

He has lived in the palace for more than ten years, although he is not very familiar with every elder in the palace, but at least he has had a simple intersection, and the elder who turned into a corpse, Yue Mochen naturally will not be unaware.

At the beginning of the experience, Yue Mochen also saw the other party standing beside Yue Yingxiong, the sternness on his face was like ice that could not be dissolved, which made many disciples feel cold, but at this time, the other party was like this, and Yue Mochen had an indescribable feeling in his heart.

"Let's go. Yue Mochen got up silently and whispered to Yue Moran.

His voice was a little muffled, apparently due to a heavy mood.

"Hmm. Yue Moran should be, she looked at Yue Mochen who was in a heavy mood, sighed, and then opened her mouth and said: "Senior Brother Chen, don't mind too much, life and death are unpredictable on the way to cultivation, and no one can expect that one day they will come to the end, this is our certainty." ”

Yue Mochen obviously didn't expect that her usually gentle and lovely senior sister would say such a thing directly, and her heart ached slightly.

But he also understood that what the other party said was the truth, a fact that all martial artists knew, but Yue Mochen was unwilling to admit it, he didn't want to see this kind of scene of life and death.

Yue Mochen clenched his fists tightly and said to himself in his heart: "I have to become stronger, because in that way, I can protect the people around me!"

"Senior brother!?" Yue Moran saw that he didn't pay attention to Yue Mochen, and called out anxiously.

"Well, I'm fine, senior sister. Yue Mochen showed a stiff smile and looked at Yue Moran.

And the red moon on the ground seemed to know that Yue Mochen was in a bad mood at the moment, jumped on his shoulder, and affectionately used the rabbit face to get close to Yue Mochen's face, which made the latter's heart warm slightly.

"It's okay, let's go find Senior Sister first. Then he brought the elder's body back to the palace. ”

"Hmm. Yue Mochen responded.

He calmly collected his thoughts, and soon returned to normal. He understood that the top priority now was to find his senior sister Yue Moying.

"Senior sister, did you find the bodies of other people in the palace at that time? I mean around here?"

"No, why do you ask that?" Yue Moran wondered.

"According to the situation at the previous scene, the elder should have been pierced from behind by a sharp weapon before his death, piercing his entire body and then through his chest. Because it penetrated the heart, the elder instantly lost the power to resist. In other words, your previous assumptions should be correct. The elder was attacked to death, so if the other party could silently approach the elder of the Hundred Tribulation Realm, proving that his cultivation was definitely above the elder, why would he still carry out a sneak attack?"

"Naturally, it is a moon spirit that has turned into a person in the palace, and the fourth order can be transformed into a human form, it is naturally not the opponent of the elders, and it can only sneak attack. Yue Moran didn't know why he asked such a strange question, and repeated his thoughts again at the moment.

"Yes, it can take on a human form, and it can trick the trust of the elders, but the premise is that it must first meet the elders. Why did it meet the Elder?" Yue Mochen asked rhetorically.

"You mean, he knew the elders would be here?"

"That's right, if I'm not mistaken, Yue Ling should have known that the other party had notified the elder with a jade slip when he was fighting with that disciple, so after killing that disciple, he turned into his form and waited for the elder to arrive nearby. ”

"That's right, after noon yesterday, there has been a heavy fog in the forest, and the elder came to look for it, as long as the moon spirit appeared in time, it was normal for the elder not to find the disciple's body. Afterwards, Yue Ling followed behind as a disciple, waiting for an opportunity to attack and kill. ”

"Well, I think Senior Sister Ying came back here to look for this after she broke up with you. Among all the disciples, there should be no one who knows more about the habits of the Moon Spirit than Senior Sister Ying, and it is not difficult for her to think of this. That's why I wanted to use this to find clues. ”

Yue Mochen said to Yue Moran as he walked: "Let's look around first, if there is, there may be clues from Senior Sister." ”

Sure enough, not far from here, another corpse was found by the two.

"This is an inner temple disciple of the Moon Palace, named Yue Mokang, he started very early, and he started at about the same time as Senior Sister Ying, and his cultivation is probably a high-level fighter. But there was no trace of a fight, and it seemed that the moon spirit had no pressure to shoot, but a one-hit kill. Yue Moran saw the corpse and quickly remembered the identity of the corpse.

(This seems like the first guy I wrote dead, with a name and a surname, oh, please forgive me...... "It's not a one-hit kill, they have had a dramatic battle, but in the end, maybe because of the particularity of the soul attack, this Senior Brother Mokang was caught off guard, and he was killed by a single blow. Sister, look over there. ”

Yue Mochen pointed to a clearing not far away, where the small trees around it had all been cut off, fallen leaves and blood stains were all over the ground, and several large trees on the side had sword marks of different shades.

"That's where the fighting took place. Yue Mochen pointed to a broken tree and said.
