The night was thick, and the figures of the group looked more and more ethereal under the reflection of the moonlight. They were silent all the way, as if they were deliberately breathing lightly, for fear of breaking the oppressive silence.

Zhou Yun was exploring the way ahead, his gaze as sharp as an eagle's falcon, constantly scanning the surrounding environment.

Suddenly, Zhou Yun's eyes froze, and he stretched out his finger and pointed ahead. Everyone immediately looked vigilantly, only to see that not far ahead, a large group of shadow demons were searching the mountain, their figures looming in the night, like a dark mist.

Everyone's heartbeat accelerated instantly, and a sense of tension arose. They carefully avoided the Shadow Fiend's path, flying against the mountain walls, for fear of being caught by those keen senses.

With every breath, they felt the cold, cruel gaze of the Shadow Fiend. The feeling of oppression, like a boulder pressing down on their chests, made them almost breathless.

Zhou Yun's eyes were always staring at the Shadow Demon's movements, and he didn't dare to relax in the slightest. He knew that if he was discovered, the consequences would be unimaginable.

Everyone also remained silent tacitly, not daring to be careless.

A few days later, the crowd gathered beside a hidden cliff.

Zhao Yue lowered her voice, her voice was as small as a mosquito fly: "Everyone, we have been flying at low altitude for a long time, and we are physically and mentally exhausted. ”

Qin Feng's face was pale, and he nodded slightly to show his agreement, the long-term tense nerves and mana consumption had already exhausted him, and if he persisted, he was afraid that he would not even be able to maintain the light.

Although Li Shuidao has a long mana, he does not intend to act alone, he has always had doubts about the Immortal Alliance, and he follows this group of people to hide it, so he also nodded in agreement.

In a hidden corner of the cliff here, a raised rock was found, and there was a small space under the rock, just enough for the few of them to hide.

So, they flew lightly and carefully hid in it. Although there were no spiritual veins here, and they could not directly absorb the spiritual energy of heaven and earth, they each held a spiritual stone in their hands.

Everyone sat cross-legged, closed their eyes, and began to regain their mana.

There was silence all around, save for the occasional sound of the wind and the low roar of the Shadow Fiend in the distance. They quietly recovered their mana, not daring to relax in the slightest.

After about half an hour, Zhou Yun slowly opened his eyes, and most of his mana had recovered. He looked up at the others and saw that they were all waking up. Zhao Yue rubbed her eyes gently, while Qin Feng checked her surroundings with a solemn expression. Li Shuidao still maintained a vigilant posture, his eyes were like torches.

Zhou Yun said in a low voice: "We can't stay here any longer, the search of the Shadow Demon is getting stricter and stricter, we must leave as soon as possible." ”

Zhao Yue nodded and agreed: "Indeed, those shadow demons are obviously conducting an organized search, a dragnet search all over the mountains. ”

"Be careful and don't reveal your whereabouts." After Zhou Yun reminded again, he quietly left again with everyone.

Half a month later, the four of them flew at a low altitude, and the speed was much faster than before.

After more than half a month of escaping, they have figured out the travel rules of the Shadow Fiend, and they are no longer as cautious as before.

Suddenly.

Everyone suddenly felt a strange fragrance in their noses, refreshing their hearts. I followed the incense and came to a deep valley.

In the valley, a strange flower blooms that has never been seen before.

These small flowers, the petals are crystal clear, glowing with a faint luster, and there seems to be a spiritual light flowing in the stamens, exuding bursts of strange fragrance. Whenever the breeze blows, the petals flutter gently, as if the stars are swaying, mysterious and abnormal.

The four of them wanted to pass by, but the sharp-eyed Zhou Yun pointed forward and said, "Everyone, look over there!" When everyone looked around, they saw that in the depths of the valley, a wisp of curling smoke rose, which was particularly eye-catching under the reflection of the sunset.

Qin Fengmei said: "In this valley, how can there be cooking smoke rising? Could it be inhabited? ”

When Zhao Yue heard this, she sighed and said: "It should be the indigenous human race left in the Yin Mountain Realm, after all, this was once the world of the human race, I really didn't expect us to meet living people." ”

"Now that the Shadow Demon is raging and searching the whole world, they can't escape this catastrophe." Li Shuidao said with a leisurely gaze.

"Let's go, everything in heaven and earth has its own destiny, and our skills are low, and we can't control it." Zhou Yun sighed and urged his teammates to leave quickly.

"You go first, I'll find out." As soon as Li Shui said that, he turned into a ray of light and flew towards the cooking smoke.

"Senior Brother Li!" Zhao Yue exclaimed, her eyes full of concern.

"Yue'er, leave him alone! Now that we can't protect ourselves, how can we protect mortals? Qin Feng said coldly.

"Alas, I really didn't expect Li Daoyou to have such a narrow heart, but it is too kind of a woman, where can mortals in troubled times be saved? Let's save ourselves first! Zhou Yun sighed and left this flower-scented valley with Qin Feng and Zhao Yue.

Although the three of them left firmly, they deliberately slowed down, they didn't want to abandon Li Jidao, but if this Taoist friend of the Tianyuan Sect, the true woman's benevolence, wanted to leave this world with mortals, then they could only endure the pain and not be with him.

Li Shuidao flew into the valley lightly, only to see a wisp of cooking smoke rising in the valley, accompanied by the aroma of food. He followed the incense and found a family that was busy preparing dinner. There are two acres of square fields in front of this house, the green crops are growing happily, and the family of five is sitting in the yard, laughing and laughing, looking happy and quiet.

Seeing Li Shuidao descending from the sky, the family was surprised and hurriedly got up to greet them. They called out to the immortals, and their faces were full of awe and curiosity.

Li Shuidao asked directly: "Why are you still alive here?" Don't you know that the shadow demons in the outside world are rampant, they kill people when they see them, and their hearing is extremely sharp? ”

When the family heard this, they looked at each other with a look of confusion on their faces. One of the elders pondered for a moment and said, "What the immortal said, I really don't understand. We have lived in this valley for generations and have never left this land. I've never heard of any shadow demons. The mountains and rivers here are beautiful, the products are abundant, we are self-sufficient, and we live in peace. ”

"Do you know the world beyond this valley?" Li Shuidao asked again, his expression extremely solemn.

When the family heard this, they looked at each other, and their faces showed a look of confusion. They shook their heads, indicating that they knew nothing about the outside world.

The old man sighed and said slowly: "The immortals don't know, according to my grandfather, when you leave this valley, you have to take dry food and walk for seven days and seven nights before you can see the town outside. We, the people of Xinghua Village, have lived here for generations, and rarely have the opportunity to go out. There was a hint of helplessness and regret in his voice.

After Li Shuidao heard this, he couldn't help but feel an inexplicable emotion in his heart.

The outside world has changed dramatically, and the towns that once existed are long gone, but these isolated villagers are still so ignorant

"Outside, there are no towns anymore. How many people are there in your Xinghua Village? Li Shuidao sighed and asked.

When the old man heard this, the wrinkles on his face seemed to be a little deeper, and he hesitated for a moment before he whispered: "We are remote here, isolated from the outside world for a long time, and there are only seven families. ”

Li Shuidao nodded slightly, he took a deep breath, and there was an irresistible power in his voice: "Okay, what an isolated paradise." In that case, I'll take you to a new paradise. "I saw a bright light flickering in the valley. By the time the light had faded, the family was gone.

Li Shuidao's figure swept away, like a meteor across the sky, and instantly flew into the air. His figure faded into a deep presence.

The starflower in the valley, under the traction of an inexplicable force, began to sway gently. Their roots clung to the dirt, but the force was like a storm and waves, and it was irresistible. As a result, Xinghua, along with the soil under the flowers, left the valley one after another and flew towards Li Shuidao in mid-air.

In the process, six other families living in the valley also felt this strange power. They walked out of the house one after another, looking at the strange scene in the sky, their eyes full of surprise and curiosity.

"It's ...... Did the immortals manifest themselves? A middle-aged man exclaimed.

"It seems that yes, our Xinghua Village is actually lucky enough to meet an immortal!" The other old man said excitedly.

They talked a lot, and the next moment they all shouted in terror.

They were also subjected to that inexplicable traction, flying towards the immortals in their mouths.

When the star flowers, the earth, and the mortals all flew into the virtual realm, Li Shuidao turned into a light light and chased towards Zhou Yun and the others.

In the Void.

At the intersection of the Void Grassland and the Gobi, a sea of stars and flowers stretching for hundreds of acres appeared out of thin air, as if it was a miracle of nature.

This sea of stars is anything but simple, he has protected the mortals here from being harmed by the shadow demons.

This shows that Shadow Fiend doesn't like this flower, and even this flower is highly poisonous to Shadow Fiend's physique.

Li Shuidao naturally wanted to take the sheep by the hand, and as for saving forty or fifty mortals, it was just a matter of convenience.

Soon Li Shuidao caught up with him, deliberately slowing down Zhou Yun and the others who were waiting for him.

Zhou Yun didn't ask much about Li Shuidao, but Zhao Yue admired Li Shuidao's chivalrous heart.

It's a pity......

After all, the ability is limited.

The four of them traveled together, and after another month, they walked cautiously, crossed the Yin Mountain Boundary, trekked tens of thousands of miles, and came to a lake.

The lake is sparkling like a huge emerald inlaid among the mountains, reflecting the blue sky and white clouds and verdant mountains. The lakeside is lush with vegetation and the fragrance of flowers, and sometimes birds fly across the water, stirring up a circle of ripples.

Li Shuidao suddenly stopped and reined in his retreat, Zhao Yue approached him curiously, and asked softly, "Senior Brother Li, why did you suddenly stop?" ”

Li Shuidao looked sideways slightly, his eyes were deep, and he responded lightly: "You guys go first." ”

When Qin Feng heard this, he frowned, and asked puzzledly, "Li Daoyou, what do you mean by this?" Didn't we say we'd go to our destination together? ”

Li Shuidao turned around and faced the three of them, his eyes revealed an indescribably complex emotion: "Although we have walked all the way, we are not in the same path after all, it is time to part ways." ”

Qin Feng's face changed, and he said angrily: "Li Jidao, you actually want to leave us at this time? We're all in this together! ”

Zhou Yun grabbed the impulsive Qin Feng on the side, and he lowered his voice: "Senior Brother Qin, you be quiet!" Since Li Daoyou has his plans, we should also respect his choice. ”

Zhao Yue looked at Li Shuidao with a complicated look, and she said softly: "Li Daoyou, have you really decided to leave?" Although there have been some twists and turns along the way, we have also had a lot of friendship. ”

Li Shuidao was silent for a moment, and said in an extremely indifferent tone: "Everyone has their own ambitions, maybe there will be a day of goodbye in the future." ”

After speaking, Li Shuidao turned around and went to the depths of the lake, his back looking a little lonely in the afterglow of the setting sun.

Zhou Yun, Zhao Yue, and Qin Feng did not leave immediately, but quietly watched Li Shuidao's back disappear.

"When things go wrong, there must be demons! Let's go ahead and have a look. Zhou Yun whispered.

"Even if there is something, Li Daoyou should tell us, he obviously looks down on us." Qin Feng said with a frown.

Zhao Yue looked at the direction of Li Shuidao's disappearance with a worried expression, and she said softly, "Is Senior Brother Li in trouble?" Are we really going to follow him like this? ”

Zhou Yun nodded: "Go and see what he's doing, if there's any danger, we can help." ”

The three of them cautiously followed Li Shuidao all the way to a secluded lake.

They hid in the grass and leaned down without making a sound.

I saw Li Shuidao take out a pack of array flags from his arms and began to set up a formation by the lake. His technique was skillful and swift, and each banner was precisely inserted into the dirt by the lake.

Zhou Yun and the three of them hid in the bushes in the distance, holding their breath and concentrating, carefully observing Li Shuidao's every move. Zhao Yue said in a low voice: "Senior Brother Li, in the formation, he must have discovered a shadow demon who is pursuing. ”

Qin Feng frowned and said, "If a shadow demon really found out about us, he would have rushed over a long time ago, how could he have time to set up a formation." ”

Over there, Li Shuidao quickly completed the formation arrangement, and in the stunned eyes of the three of them, Li Shuidao suddenly picked up a boulder on the shore and threw it into the lake. The boulder entered the water, causing a splash and a loud noise.

This sudden sound made Zhou Yun and the three of them startled. They have a bad word in their hearts.

The Shadow Demon Clan's hearing is the most amazing, and such a loud noise will inevitably attract the Shadow Demon.

Sure enough, it didn't take long for a roar to be heard in the distance. Dozens of shadow demons were attracted by the sound, their huge bodies, hideous faces, and fierce lights flashing in their eyes.

"Senior Brother Li, what are you doing with attracting a bunch of shadow demons?" Zhao Yue asked with a puzzled expression.

"Shhh......h

Fortunately, this bunch of shadow demons were all attracted by Li Shuidao, and they didn't notice the hidden three people at all.

Over there, Li Shuidao faced these shadow demons, but he didn't show the slightest fear.

When the shadow demons rushed to the front of the formation, Li Shuidao said something in his mouth, and his fingers flicked. Suddenly, the light in the formation was great, and a water-blue blade of light poured out from the formation, turning into beams of light and striking the shadow demons fiercely.

With the help of the power of the formation, it is really extraordinary, and this blow has at least the power of the late stage of foundation building.

A hint of surprise flashed in the eyes of Zhou Yun and the others.

I saw the beam of light hit the Shadow Demons, and their bodies were cut into minced flesh one by one. In just a few moments, dozens of shadow demons were slaughtered by Li Shuidao.

After the battle, there was silence on the lake, as if even the wind was holding its breath.

Li Shuidao stood on the shore, his eyes were like torches, his eyes seemed to penetrate the lake, looking into the distance, as if waiting for something.

Zhao Yue couldn't help but ask, "Senior Brother Li has already killed the shadow demon of this piece, what is he waiting for?" ”

"Don't talk!" Zhou Yun said again, and glared at his junior sister fiercely.

Time passed bit by bit, and the passage of time seemed to become extremely slow at this moment, and there was an indescribable sense of tension in the air.

Suddenly, a pitch-black light and shadow flashed on the surface of the lake, and then, a huge shadow demon appeared out of thin air, suspended in midair. The shadow demon was shrouded in darkness, with only two scarlet eyes flickering in the darkness, revealing endless ferocity and brutality.

Its body seems to be composed of countless shadows, sometimes condensed, sometimes scattered, giving people a sense of uncertainty. The aura emanating from its body was like a cold wind in the abyss, cold and piercing, making people shudder.

Seeing this monster appear, Zhou Yun's eyes widened, and his eyes were full of horror.

This is the King of Shadow Demons!

The fourth-order powerhouse of the Shadow Demon Clan can rival the Infant Cultivator of the enemy clan.

Zhou Yun's heartbeat accelerated instantly, and blood surged uncontrollably in his veins.

He never imagined that he would encounter such a terrifying monster in such a place.

The King of Shadow Demons, shrouded in darkness all over his body, was tall and towering, like a majestic mountain, which was intimidating. Its eyes shimmered with a cold light, as if it could devour all life.

But Li Jidao stood in front of it, looking at the King of Shadow Demons with a calm face

In the face of such a terrifying monster, if it was himself, he would have knelt down a long time ago.

But that Li Jidao is so calm, could it be that he is also a peerless master?

Zhou Yun swallowed a mouthful of saliva, his eyes widened as he watched the confrontation between Li Jidao and the Shadow Clan Demon King, looking forward to an earth-shattering battle.

I saw the Shadow Clan Demon King say in a low and hoarse tone, "How did you find me?" ”

There was an indescribable weirdness and horror in the voice.

Li Shuidao's face did not change, and replied calmly: "I didn't find you, someone told me you were here." ”

A hint of surprise flashed in the Shadow Demon King's eyes, and he continued to ask, "Who told you?" ”

At this moment, the surface of the lake suddenly exploded, and a huge turtle broke through the water, its body was huge, like a huge stone mill. The turtle's eyes shone with wisdom, and it said in a deep voice, "It's me!" ”
