In a small mountain village in the southwest of Arctic City, which had been abandoned for a long time, a group of ten people descended from the sky, and after landing, everyone scattered around and searched carefully, and then returned to the center of the village to concentrate.

Fang Lin said lightly: "What's the matter, what have you discovered?" ”

Dongfang said: "A large number of people stayed here for a short time not long ago, although they deliberately dealt with the traces left in the four miles, but they were sparse, and the things that existed could not be concealed. ”

Ayinata stroked a small black mouse on her shoulder, grinned, and said, "Hee-hee, my baby found the destroyed passage, well, we took a look, that passage is really big, it just matches the one we determined in Arctic City, we can determine which passage it is!" ”

Fang Lin nodded and said, "It's certain that the person we're looking for fled here first, so is it certain in which direction they left?" ”

Li Haoran shook his head and smiled bitterly: "This person is really cunning, after arriving here, he divided the team into three and left in three directions, and the footprints on the ground have not been dealt with in any way, just from this, it is difficult to judge which direction that person fled from." ”

Bai Lian said: "In this way, he may run away in another direction, so which direction should we chase, or should we also divide into three groups to chase?" ”

Concubine Shu immediately said: "No, we don't know how strong the other party is, if we disperse our forces, it is very likely that the other party will concentrate on killing us." ”

Wen Yue'er was a little misty when she heard this, Fang Lin explained: "The other party must concentrate the strongest strength in one of their own, while the other two are quite weak, but if we disperse, we must divide the strength equally, so you should understand." ”

Wen Yue'er nodded and continued to ask, "So where should we chase now?" ”

Fang Lin smiled slightly, raised his hand to the northwest, and said, "Trust our previous judgment, northwest!" ”

As soon as the words fell, he first took off into the air and flew towards the northwest, and about three hours later, the group came to the nameless mountain where Beitang Yulin and the others had stayed.

Looking at the traces of the large number of camping around, a smile appeared on Fang Lin's face, and said, "It seems that our judgment is not wrong, he did escape in this direction, well, you can send a signal to call them over, our tracking game is now officially started." ”

An arrow flew into the sky, but Qu Shan'er looked at Fang Lin and asked strangely, "How can you be sure that our direction is correct?" ”

Fang Lin showed a sly smile and said, "You really want to know?" ”

Qu Shan'er was a little confused, and said stupidly: "Of course, say it quickly." ”

Fang Lin stared at her without speaking, until she was a little impatient before he smiled and said, "You want to know, but I won't tell you, haha." With that, he turned around and ran.

After everyone was talking and laughing in place for half an hour, the five thousand disciples selected by the Ling Hua Sect, as well as Yin Liguang, Pishan Qiyou and other masters rushed over, and when they saw everyone, Fang Lin smiled and said, "Everyone, next we are going to play a game that we have never played before, hehe, I am afraid everyone will find it very exciting." ”

After speaking, he didn't give everyone a chance to speak, and walked in the direction pointed by the large number of traces, and just as Fang Lin was moving forward quickly, Gao Jue suddenly stepped forward, hugged his fists and said, "Sect Master, I have a lightning falcon that is extremely good at tracking, do you need me to release it?" ”

Fang Lin didn't feel surprised when he heard this, after all, Gao Jue was proficient in tracking and anti-tracking, and it was normal to have these things, so he didn't answer immediately, and looked at the people around him, but Li Haoran smiled and said: "Hehe, since it's going to play a game, then why not be more suspenseful, and the test for us is also more difficult, Senior Brother Gao Jue, don't use the Lightning Falcon, but your tracking technology can't be wasted." ”

"That's right, Senior Brother Gao Jue, I think it's better for you to lead the team, so that there are always people there who don't know how to pretend to understand, and I don't know when to bring everyone to the mouth of the demon beast, and then we won't die unjustly!" Qu Shan'er glared at Fang Lindao.

Puff~~ As soon as the words fell, there were several women's laughter next to them, and even the cold frost couldn't help laughing, but Fang Lin's face was as black as the bottom of the pot, and he gritted his teeth and said, "You Nizi is taking malicious revenge!" ”

For his fierce appearance, Qu Shan'er was not afraid at all, and said arrogantly: "Hmph, Miss Ben is taking revenge, what's wrong, do you have an opinion?" But even if you have an opinion, it's useless, because it should be revenged, and Miss Ben is absolutely unambiguous! ”

Just when they were talking and laughing, there were two forks in the road, and the road they are taking now just formed a three-way road, on the surface, there are people walking on all three roads, but the number of people is different, Gao Jue was about to speak, but Qu Shan'er raised his hand to stop him: "Senior Brother Gao Jue, you wait first, hehe, we want to see someone, so reckless, now you can talk about it, the person we are looking for is going to that road?" ”

When Fang Lin heard this, he raised his hand in surrender without hesitation, and said, "I admit that I can't do this, Senior Brother Gao Jue, it's better for you to come." ”

As soon as these words came out, they immediately ushered in a blank of eyes, and naturally there was Qu Shan'er's ridicule, after laughing for a while, Gao Jue almost surveyed the basic situation of the three roads, and said: "This road leading to the outside of the mountain has the least number of people, only about three hundred, and the middle one is to the direction of the Nutao River, and the number of people who take this road is also the most, I'm afraid there are thousands, and this road to the depths of the mountains and forests has about six or seven hundred people walking, but I found a very subtle phenomenon, that is, The depth of these footprints is clearly re-troddented. ”

Ayinata frowned when she heard this, and said a little unclearly: "What does this mean?" ”

"Oh, stupid, I don't know this, it's just that they walked in first, and then followed these footprints, and walked out backwards, understand?" Qu Shan'er pretended to teach in the old city.

Ayinnata seemed to be caught in some kind of thought, and just let out a faint sigh, but she didn't go to raise the bar with Qu Shan'er, but Fang Lin smiled when she heard this, and said: "Now it's obvious that the other party just wants to mislead us, so they must be taking the middle road, they must be crossing the Nutao River, chasing!" ”

On the other side, Beitang Yulin and his party have walked out of the mountain, looking at a smooth road ahead, Beitang Yulin said loudly: "Everyone, now we don't have any terrain that can hide our whereabouts, there will definitely be someone behind us to track, there is no doubt about this, if we want not to be discovered by the other party, we can only use the fastest speed to pass through the plain in front, and then cross the Nutao River, and finally reach our destination, calculated, we still have thousands of miles to go, so, next, It's time for us to fight hard! ”

More than 10,000 people shouted in unison, but none of them had the intention of retreating, Beitang Yulin waved his big hand, and the blue light on everyone's feet flickered, blowing towards the end of the plain like a gust of wind.

In the mountains, Gao Jue was leading everyone to chase forward, suddenly, his body stopped suddenly, raised his hand to stop everyone's footsteps, did not speak, slowly walked a few steps forward, squatted down, pounded on the ground for a while, and then slapped his palms to the ground violently, shouting: "Open!" ”

With a bang, the ground about two or three feet in front of him slammed down, forming a huge trap that occupied the entire road, about five or six zhang long and three zhang deep, and the bottom of the trap was covered with cold spikes.

With such a scene, everyone who watched it was a little numb, Wen Yue'er patted her chest, and said with palpitations: "Fortunately, Senior Brother Gao Jue discovered this trap, otherwise, I am afraid that many of us will die." ”

Everyone agrees with this point of view, and at the same time they all cast a grateful look at Gao Jue, crossed the trap, and everyone continued to pursue at full speed, along the way, there were many traps, ambushes, traps and other things, but these things were not worth it in front of Gao Jue, and they were cracked one by one, although they did not cause any harm to the crowd, but they effectively delayed a lot of time.

The Angry Waves River is rushing and roaring, its magic and weirdness have been deeply rooted in the hearts of the people, no one dares to mess around here, and the only way to cross is a stone bridge called Pingning Rope Bridge, this bridge is five zhang wide, it looks like an ordinary stone bridge, and it is a little old, but it is such a bridge, but it can pass through the extremely strange Angry Waves River, no one knows the reason, and the end is extremely mysterious.

At the head of the Pingning Rope Bridge, Beitang Yulin is directing everyone to cross the bridge in an orderly manner, and now half of them have arrived at the opposite side, Shan Huanting stood beside him and said softly: "I heard that this bridge is very magical, no matter who it is, no matter what cultivation, as long as you step on the bridge deck, you will be sealed All the cultivation and true yuan can't even be used, and the only thing that can be used is the strength of your own body, right?" ”

Beitang Yulin nodded and said: "Well, yes, I came here once before, and I felt like I had become an ordinary person when I walked on it, and I was scared to cry at the time, hehe, I feel funny when I think about it now." ”

"Hehe, but it's no wonder, whoever suddenly loses his cultivation, I'm afraid they will be panicking." Shan Huanting said with a smile.

Beitang Yulin didn't go to answer Shan Huanting's words, but just grabbed her hand and said: "When we cross the bridge and arrive at the destination, we can live in peace, and then we don't have to be frightened, and we don't have to be separated, you say, okay!" ”

Shan Wanting smiled sweetly, nodded and didn't speak, however, at this moment, a sharp arrow in the distance pierced the sky, everyone was shocked when they heard this voice, Beitang Yulin couldn't help but yell: "Hurry, speed up!" Damn, how did they catch up so quickly, didn't all the arrangements we had do anything? ”

Seeing that there were still more than 3,000 people crossing the bridge, Beitang Yulin was a little anxious, and kept urging, who knows, at this time, Shan Huanting said: "Don't worry, they are still thirty miles away from us, even if they are chasing at full speed, at least we still have a quarter of an hour, and you can rest assured, I will stay at the end and buy you a lot of time!" ”

Beitang Yulin was stunned for a moment when he heard this, and then said: "No, don't be stupid, you can catch up so quickly, the other party is definitely not a simple character, maybe it is Fang Lin himself, even if you stay, it's useless, you don't have to think about anything now, hurry up and cross the bridge." ”

"Hehe, I didn't expect you to care about me so much, I'm really happy, but don't underestimate me, don't forget, my father is a former general of Eagle Yangwei, and my grandfather is one of the nine generalissimos of the empire, I'm not a weak woman on the battlefield, you can go with confidence, I will come to you, believe me." Shan Huanting said with a smile.

Beitang Yulin shook his head and said, "Don't lie to me, be obedient, I can handle it!" ”

Shan Wanting didn't speak again, but she didn't move, she just looked at his face with a smile, looking at it very carefully, as if she wanted to carve that face deeply into her mind.

Beitang Yulin was anxious when he saw this, and shouted: "Silly woman, you go quickly, do you know, everything I did to you before was using you, if I want to be the head of this young family, I have to finish those two brothers, do you know, I don't deserve you to treat me like this, go quickly!" ”

However, Shan Wanting did not get as angry as she thought, turned away, but stretched out her hand and gently stroked its cheek, and said softly: "I know, in fact, I know, I knew it from the beginning, I am not stupid, but the warmth you gave me is what I have always longed for, although I know that it is an abyss, but I still jumped without hesitation, however, what you did today made me feel that it was all worth it, I hate and am happy, I am really happy!" ”

At this moment, there was a rumbling sound of horses' hooves in the distance, and Shan Huanting pushed Beitang Yulin out fiercely, and roared in a hissed voice: "You go, go quickly, don't let them see your face, don't let them recognize you, don't take revenge, live in peace, live well, as long as you can think of me occasionally, I'm satisfied, go quickly!" ”

After speaking, Shan Huanting led a thousand people she had already selected to form a thousand-person phalanx, which was blocked at one-third of the Pingning rope bridge, Beitang Yulin saw this, her lips trembled a few times, but in the end, it evolved into a roar that looked up to the sky, red eyes, turned around and ran towards the opposite side of the bridge, Shan Huanting turned her head, looked at Beitang Yulin running wildly, and the corners of her mouth raised a sweet arc, and at this moment, Beitang Yulin also seemed to turn her head with a heart, and her eyes were facing each other, All eyes are filled with deep sorrow!

••••••

The ancient Pingning rope bridge had been stained red with blood, and countless broken corpses were lying on the bridge deck in a mess, and Shan Huanting was covered in blood, leaning her body against the waist-high railing, gasping for breath.

Looking at the woman in front of him who was supposed to be charming, but at this time she was extremely embarrassed, Fang Lin's eyes showed a little appreciation, and he said lightly: "If I'm not mistaken, you should be the granddaughter of Marshal Unit Long, Miss Shan Huanting." ”

Shan Huanting was taken aback when she heard this, and subconsciously asked, "How do you know?" ”

"Hehe, this is not unusual, your method of using troops has the shadow of the old marshal Shan, so it is not difficult to deduce, but I don't understand, why do you want to stay behind the people of the Beitang family." Fang Lin Road.

"Hehe, I'm willing, ahem, I didn't expect that Fang Lin's name is really worthy of his reputation, originally I thought it could support at least three hours, hehe, I didn't expect it, it just supported for an hour, ahem, but I can fight with Fang Lin, even if I go to the underworld, I can blow it with my father for three days, haha" Shan Huanting smiled.

Fang Lin sighed and said, "Hey, Old Marshal Shan is elegant and elegant, he is a person I admire, I really don't want to hurt his family, Miss Shan, since the Beitang family has abandoned you, why do you have to work so hard for it, as long as you are willing to tell me, who is the leader of this team and where is their destination, so I can let you go back to the Shan family, how about it?" ”

Who knows, when Shan Huanting heard this, she looked up to the sky and laughed wildly: "Haha, hahaha~~~~ Fang Lin, don't use your despicable and dirty thoughts to measure me, perhaps, in the eyes of many people, your condition is extremely tempting, but, in my opinion, it is not as good as bullshit, haha, do you think I was forced to stay, tell you, no!" Ahem, ahem, ahem..."

"Huh~Huh~Huh~~" After coughing, Shan Huanting gasped a few more times before she smiled and said: "Hehe, I'm not afraid to tell you, the reason why I stayed was to buy him time, but unfortunately, I only won an hour, but it's enough, hehe, I die without regrets, Fang Lin, your words that you think you can convince everyone are so ridiculous in my opinion, haha, I didn't expect that Fang Lin, who was extremely shrewd and cunning like a fox in the rumors, was so stupid in front of me, If this is said, I'm afraid it can cause a sensation in the mainland, hehe..."

Fang Lin was not angry when he heard this, but was full of sympathy for this stupid woman, but Ayinata, who had a hot personality, stopped doing it, and shouted: "Hmph, don't think that Fang Lin can bully him wantonly if he bullies you, yes, he is not good at attacking women, but I am different, hehe, I won't pity the jade, it doesn't matter if I don't say it now, if it falls into my hands, even if it is iron, I can melt him." ”

"Haha, little girl, do you think you can scare me, if you have the ability, you will come to arrest me, and if you catch me, you will tell you everything! Haha~~" Shan Huanting laughed, her voice fell, and she jumped out of the bridge with her body.

"Hmph, with me, it's impossible to jump into the river!" Qu Shan'er shook the long whip and rolled towards Shan Huanting's waist, but Shan Huanting laughed when she saw this, and when the long whip wrapped around her waist, she also grabbed the long whip with her backhand, and pulled it down violently, wanting to pull Qu Shan'er down together.

Qu Shan'er, who was unprepared, was stumbled by this force, and her body actually hit the outside of the bridge, Li Haoran was startled when she saw this, and hurriedly reached out to hug it, however, who knew that the pulling force was extremely fierce, and even with him, he couldn't help but move towards Qiaowai.

"Shan'er, quickly throw away the whip, quickly, Nu Taojiang will not allow anyone to pull back what fell into it, let it go, otherwise, you and Haoran will be pulled down!" Fang Lin shouted anxiously.

Qu Shan'er was shocked when she heard this, she didn't dare to hesitate, and immediately let go, the long whip swished, like an escaped snake, just a flash and disappeared, followed by the river below There was also a plopping sound, Shan Huanting's figure disappeared completely, and Qu Shan'er at this time was only one step away from the bridge railing.

Wiping a handful of sweat from her forehead, Qu Shan'er said with palpitations: "I'm a good girl, this Nu Taojiang is too evil, Haoran and I almost confessed, if that's the case, wouldn't we die unjustly." ”

"Hmph, who told you to be reckless, even if you lose the spirit weapon whip this time, even if it is a lesson for you, see if you dare in the future." Ayinata gloated.

Qu Shan'er was suddenly so angry that she scuffled with Ayinnata with her teeth and claws, however, at this time, Wen Yue'er was full of sadness, leaning on the railing, looking at the rushing river, and said in an ethereal voice: "Fang Lin, I think I know why Miss Shan did that." ”

When everyone heard this, they were a little puzzled, Fang Lin stepped forward and hugged her in his arms, touched her forehead, and said with concern: "What's the matter, do you feel uncomfortable?" ”

Wen Yue'er shook her head slightly, two tears hung in the corners of her eyes, and said softly: "Do you know what can make a woman sacrifice everything regardless of it?" ”

Fang Lin shook his head, but the other girls were all thoughtful, Wen Yue'er smiled slightly, and said: "Stupid, that's her lover, the deeper the love, the greater the sacrifice, the person we want to hunt down must be the person she loves very much, so, in order to protect him, Miss Shan would rather sacrifice herself, sacrifice these thousand people, and desperately delay time, just to give him more hope to live." ”

Everyone was silent when they heard this, Wen Yue'er smiled, and said: "I really admire her, do you know, if she can die for the person she likes, she will definitely have no regrets, Fang Lin, if there is such a day, I am willing to be like her, when the time comes, you must leave me alone, you must survive well, okay." ”

Speaking of which. She looked at Fang Lin with a pair of bright eyes, full of hope, but when Fang Lin heard this, she felt a pain in her heart inexplicably, hugged her tighter, and said in a trembling voice: "Don't say that, don't think so, we will never meet that day, believe me, with my ability, I will never put us in such a dangerous situation!" ”

Wen Yue'er heard this, smiled sweetly, stopped talking, just lay quietly in her lover's arms, closed her eyes and enjoyed this moment to the fullest, after a while, seeing that Wen Yue'er's mood seemed to have recovered a little, Li Haoran coughed dryly and said, "That, do we want to continue chasing?" ”

Fang Lin shook his head, smiled helplessly, glanced at Wen Yue'er with deep meaning, and said, "No need, with the other party's speed, even the farthest destination has already arrived now, let's go back." ”

Hearing this, Bai Lian frowned and said, "Didn't you say that if he runs away, it will be a big trouble for us in the future!" ”

"Hehe, as long as we are strong enough, why are we afraid of trouble, not to mention, are we still in less trouble, are we still afraid of one more him, this can also become the motivation to spur us to continue to work hard, okay, don't care too much, let's all go back." Fang Lin said with a smile.

••••••

Three days later, Fang Lin and the others returned to the Beitang family in Arctic City, but now this has become the headquarters of the Linghua Sect in the Northern Regions, and Fang Lin Gao sat on the head of the meeting hall, looked at the high-level leaders of the Linghua Sect below, and said lightly: "Everyone, so far, my Linghua Sect has basically subdued the entire Northern Regions, so from today on, this land will officially become the territory of my Linghua Sect, and the residents of this place will also become the people of my Linghua Sect. If the order goes on, all the disciples of my Linghua Sect who dare to treat them differently will be treated as traitors! ”

When everyone heard this, their hearts suddenly burst out, and some people were secretly glad that they hadn't messed up, and after a while, Fang Lin's voice sounded again: "Second, issue a notice stating that for those forces or individuals who have opposed us before, I Linghua Sect will not be responsible for their crimes, and if they are willing to come back, as long as they act according to the rules of my Linghua Sect, they will also be treated fairly." ”

"Third, change the name of this place to the Xuanwu Domain, to distinguish it from the Northern Region of my Linghua Sect, and exempt all taxes within a year, so that the people can live with peace of mind and resume production without other worries."

When everyone heard this, they immediately understood what Fang Lin meant, originally they thought that Fang Lin was just going to come to the Northern Regions to plunder, but now they knew that Fang Lin was simply going to completely eat the entire Northern Regions, and in an instant, some people's minds became active, and an elder whispered to his friend: "Old Yang, you said that the sect master has eaten the entire Xuanwu Domain, is it the next target to be the middle region of the Yeyue Empire, and our ultimate goal is the entire Yeyue Empire, and then dominate the entire continent?" ”

Lao Yang opened his mouth and said: "Hehe, you look at the development history of our Linghua Sect, since the sect master came to prominence to the present, it has been almost fifteen years, in these years, every thing the sect master has done is closely related to the development of the sect, judging from the results later, which thing does not have far-reaching significance, eat the entire Xuanwu Domain today, and when we completely digest it, then the next target must be the Middle Domain, hehe, old man, let's get ready." ”

There are not a few people who have the same views as these two people, and when they all exited the hall, Li Haoran was about to say something, but someone came to report that the people who had gone to pursue the Beitang family had returned.

Soon, the leader of this line entered the hall, and Xue Mantian arched his hand and said: "Sect Master, we followed your instructions to catch up with it at the Frog Ze at the junction of the Northern Regions and the Central Regions, after a big battle, the other party fled after leaving a third of the people and property, and entered the Central Domain, we were worried that it would be unfavorable for us to go deep alone, so we did not continue to chase." ”

Li Haoran frowned and said, "Elder Xue, according to our strength, it should be no problem to destroy the entire Beitang family, how can it be only a third?" ”

Xue Mantian smiled bitterly and said: "Monkey Win and Xiang Po were restrained by the Xuanwu they summoned, and what the Beitang family has is not a powerhouse in the realm of life and death, but sixteen, and three of them have returned to the void, and the strength of one of them can be on par with Bei Niangzi, in addition, the Yeyue Empire also sent someone to respond, hey, we are incompetent, please punish the sect master!" ”

Fang Lin waved his hand and said with a smile: "Hehe, as a real big family, the Beitang family can't only have that little strength on the surface, and there are people from the Yeyue Empire to take care of it, it's not easy for you to do this, don't mind, everyone has worked hard, go down and rest." ”

After the group went down, Qu Shan'er said very unhappily: "It's really hateful, the Beitang family actually ran away from so many people, and what's going on with that Xuanwu." ”

Fang Lin chuckled: "Hehe, don't be discouraged, you don't have to worry about Xuanwu affairs, as for the Beitang family, hmph, they can't run away, but now our first thing is not them, but the Yin and Yang Zique!" ”
