Shanli City.

At the same time, the other side.

Jiu Ge was pushed by Tang Liu and others and ran out of the Phoenix Inn through the back door.

The group came to the street in a panic, and soon, a dozen men in black chased after them and surrounded them.

"Whoever runs again, Lao Tzu will waste his legs!!" A middle-aged man with a beard on his face said viciously.

Hearing that rough voice, several young disciples couldn't help but tremble.

"Who the hell are you and why do you keep chasing us??!!" Jiu Ge asked boldly.

"What did you say?" The bearded man snorted coldly and looked at her with a wicked smile, "Little girl, I should ask you this, right, my companion is missing in the inn where you live, I don't ask you for someone, who wants for someone?" ”

"Joke, we weren't the only people who came in and out of the inn yesterday, your companion is missing, what are we doing??!!" Jiu Ge asked angrily.

"Yo, the little girl's temper is not small, she even dares to talk back to her grandfather!" The bearded man shouted angrily, and raised his palm to draw it towards Jiu Ge's cheek.

"Stop!!"

Just as he was about to fight down, a deep voice sounded, and then a figure quickly dodged to Jiu Ge's side, reaching out to block the slap from the bearded man.

Seeing the comer, all the disciples breathed a sigh of relief, and one by one showed joyful expressions, and shouted loudly, "Master." ”

Qin Xuan nodded slightly, grabbed the bearded man's arm, and threw him out violently.

The bearded man fell heavily to the ground, grinning in pain, "You, you dare to touch me, my son-in-law will come in a while, and you will die!! ”

"Oh??" Qin Xuan raised his eyebrows, and the smile on his face deepened, "Your son-in-law is in a difficult position to protect himself now, where can he take care of you?!" ”

"You...... What do you mean by that? The bearded man stared at Qin Xuan with wide eyes.

"Literally." Qin Xuan sneered and said, "If you know each other, get out of here!! ”

"You !!" The bearded man's face was pale, and he glared at Qin Xuan angrily, but he didn't dare to make a move easily.

"Master, why are you alone, Senior Brother Ozawa?" Seeing that only Qin Xuan was coming, Jiu Ge hurriedly asked.

"Ozawa ......"

As soon as Qin Xuan wanted to speak, Jiu Ge couldn't hold back the worry in his heart and muttered to himself: "Xiao Ze must be in trouble, no, I have to go back to him!" ”

After saying that, she turned around desperately and ran towards the main entrance of the inn.

"Song!!" When Qin Xuangang wanted to tell her that Nangong Yueze was fine, Jiu Ge's figure had already disappeared.

……

Outside the Phoenix Inn.

The man in black led by him has been subdued by Nangong Yueze, and with the assistance of the Qimang Ring, the cultivation of the man in black has been in a state of restriction.

Nangong Yueze quickly searched for a jade pendant from the man in black, and his name was clearly written on it-Ye Bei.

"It turns out that you are the son of the current sect master of the Feiyun Sect." Nangong Yueze said lightly, "Tell me, why did you send someone to assassinate me?" ”

"What nonsense are you talking about!! Which eye did you see that Ben Gongzi was going to assassinate you? Ye Bei denied it coldly.

"I'm not talking nonsense, you know it yourself." Nangong Yueze narrowed her eyes, "Let me ask you, did Nangong Jing send you?" ”

Ye Bei was stunned.

Nangong Jing's name, he naturally knows it very well, it is the seventh prince of the Nebula Empire who holds great power, although the Feiyun Sect has some dealings with him on weekdays, but he has never had any direct contact with him, why does this young man know him?

Could it be that he is a felonist wanted by Nangong Jing?

"Tell me first, who are you?" Ye Bei frowned and asked.

Nangong Yueze's eyes flickered slightly, "Who am I, you don't care, I'll ask you again at the end, who sent you to assassinate me??" ”

"I had no idea what you were talking about!" Ye Bei gritted his teeth and resisted again.

"It seems that you don't eat in the toast, so you have to be punished for drinking!!" The corners of Nangong Yueze's mouth hooked up a touch of arc.

When the words fell, his fingers strained slightly, and Ye Bei suddenly screamed.

"Ahh My hand...... Let go!! ”

"This is just the beginning, you can't stand it?" Nangong Yueze sneered, and the strength in his hand increased again.

Ye Bei only felt that the bones in his palm seemed to be shattered, and a heart-piercing pain hit his whole body.

"I ...... I said...... Ye Bei was sweating profusely in pain, and the tendons on his forehead were even more bruised, "Someone ...... Someone gave me 200,000 gold leaves and asked us to find a way to intercept you halfway, that person...... The man only gave us your portrait, but didn't tell me who you are. ”

"Oh? Is it? When Nangong Yueze heard this, a trace of doubt flashed in her eyes, "Who is that person you are talking about?" ”

"He covered his face, and I didn't know who that person was." Ye Bei hurriedly shook his head and said.

"Are you sure you're right?"

"Really, it's true, it's true, I can swear!!" Ye Bei hurriedly said, "You...... Let go of me, my hand is about to break......"

Nangong Yueze narrowed her eyes slightly, and then let go of Ye Bei's arm.

"Ahem, cough, ahem......" Ye Bei, who was relieved, gasped violently for a few breaths, and just after taking a breath, Nangong Yueze's sword was pressed against his neck again, "Let me ask you again, when did that person find you?" ”

"It's ...... yesterday," Ye Bei shuddered, "Yesterday morning, I was going to take my subordinates to investigate other things, but two masked men suddenly found me and gave me 50,000 gold leaves, asking me to find a way to intercept and kill you on the way, and they said that after the matter is completed, they will give me 150,000 gold leaves as a reward......"

"You mean yesterday?" Hearing this, Nangong Yueze's eyes suddenly became extremely cold, he only left from Tianxin Academy yesterday, but he didn't expect someone to follow his whereabouts so soon.

"Yes, it was yesterday, and although I don't know who that person is, I saw that one of them seemed to be quite tall...... It should be seven or eight feet tall by eyesight...... Also, there is a scar between his eyebrows......" Ye Bei continued.

Hearing Ye Bei's description, Nangong Yueze probably had a number in his heart, and the person the other party said was the commander of the guards beside Nangong Jing's mother, Concubine Ning, Li Mingyang.

Li Mingyang is seven and a half feet tall, and he is a peerless master hidden by Concubine Ning's side, Si Qin once told him that Li Mingyang claims to be only a third-order spirit king, but in fact he is a second-order spirit venerable who has cultivated to a demigod.

This person is not only strong in cultivation and scheming, but also ruthless in his methods, and over the years, he has cleared many obstacles for Nangong Jing.

If it weren't for Si Qin's secret protection, with Li Mingyang's cultivation, I am afraid that he would have found out about Nangong Yueze's cultivation in secret.

Now, as soon as Si Qin left his side, Li Mingyang couldn't wait to do something to him, and it was obvious that Nangong Jing's mother and son couldn't hold it anymore.

Just when Nangong Yueze was deep in thought, Jiu Ge's voice suddenly came into his ears.

"Ozawa! Ozawa!! ”

Nangong Yueze turned his head to look in the direction where the voice came from, and saw Jiu Ge standing not far away with a sweaty head, looking at him anxiously.

"Nine songs? How did you run back alone? Nangong Yueze frowned slightly.

"I ...... I see that you haven't come with me, I thought something had happened to you......" Jiu Ge said as he panted breathlessly, "You...... Are you okay? ”

"I'm fine." Nangong Yueze put away his sword and walked towards Jiu Ge, seeing her sweating profusely, he frowned slightly, directly stretched out his sleeve and gently wiped the sweat beads on Jiu Ge's face, "You haven't cultivated your body, it's very dangerous to run around like this." ”

"I'm ......" Jiu Ge looked at each other in a daze, and at that moment, she only felt as if her heart had stopped beating.

His expression is so gentle, and his movements are so delicate......

She could even feel that Nangong Yueze's breath was sprayed on her cheeks, warm and wet......

Is this a delusion?

Or was he too worried about him, so he hallucinated?

"What's wrong with you? It can't be scary, right? Seeing Jiu Ge's sluggish expression, Nangong Yueze raised her hand and shook it in front of her eyes.

Seeing this, Jiu Ge came back to her senses, she coughed softly, tried her best to hide the embarrassment in her heart, lowered her head and said, "I'm fine, I just ran a little faster......"

"It's okay, let's go find the master and them together." Nangong Yueze looked at her and said.

Jiu Ge nodded, quickly gathered her thoughts, and followed behind Nangong Yueze, just after taking two steps, she suddenly remembered the leader of the man in black, and quickly turned her head to look at the other party, and asked, "Xiao Ze, what about that person?" ”

"Let him go, he is just taking people's money and eliminating disasters with others." Nangong Yueze said in a calm tone.

"Hmm......" Jiu Ge nodded and didn't say anything more.

Soon, the two of them found Qin Xuan and the disciples on the street, and when they saw them, everyone breathed a sigh of relief.

Seeing that Ye Bei did not follow, the group of black-clothed people gave up besieging the Tianxin disciples one after another, turned their heads and fled.

It wasn't until their figures completely disappeared from sight that Tang Liu and the others let out a breath of turbidity.

"It was early in the morning, and it almost scared me to death." Tang Liu patted his chest and said with a look of palpitations.

"yes." Xue Sui also sighed, "Fortunately, there are Shizun and Junior Brother Ozawa here today, otherwise the consequences are really unimaginable." ”

Qin Xuan glanced at everyone, then walked to Nangong Yueze's side and asked with concern, "Xiao Ze, you're not injured, are you?" ”

Nangong Yueze shook her head lightly, "Master, don't worry, I'm fine, okay, it's not too early, let's continue on our way." ”

"Hmm." Qin Xuan bowed slightly, and then led everyone towards the direction of the East City Gate.

At this time, about five hundred meters away from Qin Xuan and them, a man wearing a hat was standing behind a tree, his gaze fell on Nangong Yueze's back, and the corners of his mouth hooked up a gloomy arc.

"Nangong Yueze, Nangong Yueze, I really can't imagine that you are hiding so deeply, Ye Bei is already a fifth-order spirit king, and he was subdued so easily by you." The man muttered to himself.

"However, even if you have some skills, you will not be able to escape from my palm after all." The man's eyes narrowed, and a cruel and bloodthirsty smile appeared at the corner of his mouth, "I will not let anyone become a stumbling block that prevents His Highness the Seventh from becoming the new emperor. ”

As soon as the words fell, the man's figure flickered and disappeared from the spot.
