Chapter 4: Between the Demons
"After escaping to the edge of the continent with such great strength, is there only this kind of strength?"
Even when he was thinking, Ye Chenfeng's eyes did not leave the corpse.
Ye Wuji is indeed dead, there is no doubt about it. He trusts his sword moves, just like his own swords, they are all partners who can be entrusted with life, and they are trustworthy "Taoist friends".
This...... It was the first thing he understood and took to truth.
Ye Chenfeng, who has struggled to survive in the war since he was a child, has seen too much good and evil, but if he really wants to say it, there are more "evil" in people's hearts. Therefore, he will never trust others, let alone despise any opponent, just like this time.
But even if he tried his best to look up to Ye Wuji, an outer disciple of the Qi Refining Period, Ye Wuji's performance still revealed many strange things.
"There are no traps, but I am alone, this kind of behavior is no different from suicide...... Does he think he has any chance of winning?"
is obviously a traverser, but he was killed by himself so easily, which in itself should not be the case. And the associated treasure was not used, and there were no particularly powerful hole cards on the body...... If you want to talk about resourcefulness, Ye Chenfeng really can't understand what kind of resourcefulness that guy has.
"It seems...... In the fight with the traverser, I did get stronger. ”
Ye Chenfeng was thoughtful, but the movements in his hands were not slow, and he quickly found Ye Wuji's storage bag.
Although the spirit stone is a treasure in the world of ordinary people, it is only a relatively common thing in the cultivation world, as long as it is not too poor a monk, it will not use the spirit stone to cultivate, but as a currency circulation. But in Ye Wuji's storage bag, there was nothing of value except for the four magic weapons, only a few pieces of clothing, and a pitiful few spirit stone fragments.
It's not at all like what an outlaw should bring, but rather like a dead soldier who will do whatever it takes to complete his mission.
The magic weapon on Ye Wuji's body may have a miraculous effect against ordinary outer disciples, which is also the key to his escape, but in the face of a genius like Ye Chenfeng, relying on the magic weapon alone is obviously not enough. He should understand this truth, but he still did it, could it be that he didn't have other classes?
The traverser is an existence beyond common sense, and it is extremely difficult to exterminate, even after being exterminated, it is difficult to guarantee that it will not come back in other forms, and may even directly change a race.
Ye Chenfeng had seen such an example, so he would rather believe that Ye Wuji's death was to get rid of his current embarrassing situation, and it was more likely that he would directly become a ghost cultivator.
This explanation seems reasonable, but it can't be explained at all, why did Ye Wuji choose Icewind Valley, and why did he choose to let a genius like himself chase him?
"Is it ......?"
With a flash of inspiration, Ye Chenfeng suddenly thought of a fatal question.
Since he is a traverser, how could he make such a low-level mistake? How could he hand over his fate to such a thing as the Bloodthirsty Soul Chaser? Taking 10,000 steps back, even if he really offended the big man of the Xuanling Sect for some reason and was finally forced into a desperate situation, it would never be possible for him to have only such a few belongings.
If things are abnormal, there must be demons......
Ye Chenfeng would never despise any of his prey, and the same is true of dead prey, so is there a possibility that this guy will calculate him Ye Chenfeng in turn?
This is a very worthy matter to think about, Ye Wuji, as a traverser, is likely to perceive that there is a traverser hunter in the Xuanling Sect through some ways he knows, so according to the consistent pattern of traversers, although the two of them have no intersection, as long as there is the slightest possibility of threatening Ye Wuji, he will definitely do everything possible to stifle this threat.
In this way, Ye Wuji is likely to set a trap to lure himself into appearance, and even hunt him down.
It is not impossible for Ye Chenfeng to think like this, Ye Wuji molested the female disciples in the sect, and did not make further moves, and as a result, not only was he on the must-kill list, but also fled to the northernmost part of the continent under the wanted of the bloodthirsty soul chasing order, which is simply a big fuss.
It can only be the Elder who releases the Bloodthirsty Soul Chaser. Ye Chenfeng would take it for granted, because he understood the character of that elder, and he would definitely do such a thing.
But!
He overlooked the obvious fact that the elder, no matter how bad his temper, should not be stupid. And letting an outer disciple escape under the bloody soul chasing order and come to the Icewind Valley in the northern realm is no longer a stupid thing, but a slap in the face!
Although these are just speculations, they are enough for Ye Chenfeng to be vigilant. The relationship between hunter and prey was never absolute, and he knew that better than anyone else.
"Sure enough, it's a bureau......"
But the question is, what kind of situation is this, and what kind of truth it has.
There is no doubt that the Bloodthirsty Soul Chase Order is true. Only the monks of the Xuanling Sect could refine the unique aura on the token, and it was absolutely impossible for outsiders to issue a bloodthirsty soul chasing order.
So this time the bureau is likely to involve a certain "big man", but I don't know to what extent this big man has mastered the information.
Because there's a key point involved.
Does this big man want Ye Wuji to die, or does he want Ye Chenfeng to disappear......
Don't look at the fact that it was his own decision to take the token, but as long as there was a slight "accident" in this kind of place, a condensation stage monk like him could easily lose his way and eventually freeze to death in the ice and snow. Ye Chenfeng also took on this task because he relied on it.
Ye Chenfeng, who was thinking about it, suddenly put away the storage bag, then glanced at the sky and frowned.
With his cultivation, although it would not be a problem to enter the Icewind Valley, the temperature here made him, a Condensation Stage cultivator, a little unbearable. If you don't have a Reiki body, staying in one position for a long time will cause your body temperature to drop rapidly. But if you continue to urge the aura to protect yourself, you will consume a lot of aura.
Although the monk can absorb the aura of heaven and earth for his own use, the speed of absorbing the aura is limited, in this kind of ghost weather, Ye Chenfeng urged the aura with all his might, and it was probably less than half a stick of incense to turn into an ice sculpture.
If he is still like this, why would Ye Wuji choose such a ghost place?
At the time of the battle, Ye Wuji did not have any advantages, which showed that this place had no special meaning for him. Then the purpose of his coming to the northern realm is intriguing.
There were too many clues in his grasp, which made it difficult for Ye Chenfeng to see clearly for a short time, and he only felt that Ye Wuji's death was inexplicable, making his previous "hunting" experience useless.
"It is worthy of being the first person in the outer gate, and he actually let that disciple ambush him so quickly, the junior sister is grateful here, but I don't know ...... What should I use to thank Senior Brother Ye?"
A coquettish voice suddenly appeared in the woods, and soon a bumpy figure came out through the night and stood behind Ye Chenfeng.
This woman can be called stunning, walking and swaying, showing charm, but there is no charm between her eyebrows, as if everything is natural, it is God who has given her the power to charm all beings.
"Senior brother's temperament is still so cold, since you agreed to help your junior sister with this favor, can't you accept my little heart?"
The woman was unmoved when she saw Ye Chenfeng, but she didn't care, she quietly took a few steps forward, her eyes full of affection.
"You came by yourself?" Ye Chenfeng replied coldly, still not turning around.
"Of course, the little sister came to see the senior brother naturally to catch up with the senior brother, why bring so many people in the way? Senior brother~"
As she spoke, the woman took a coquettish step forward, and was about to pounce on Ye Chenfeng's back, and when she took a step, her shoulder straps had slipped off, and her clothes were half-dissolved, and suddenly spring appeared.
But in the next second, a sword aura flashed under the woman's feet, immediately leaving a sword mark more than a foot deep!
"Are you going to die yourself?"
The woman was shocked and looked at Ye Chenfeng who turned around in horror, but when she met those cold eyes, the woman knew that her efforts were in vain, so she simply took off all her disguises and returned coldly.
"It's worthy of Senior Brother Ye, it's so easy to see through, and I still have to go to great lengths to brew some feelings. The trick was discovered, but the woman was ashamed, obviously not the first time she had played this kind of trick, and she was even unhurried, putting on a rather seductive posture to tidy up her clothes. "Tell me, how do you see it?"
She thought that Ye Chenfeng would give her an accurate analysis, and then pointed out her flaws, and then asked her why she did this, why she deceived his feelings and so on, but the fact was that Ye Chenfeng stared at the dead fish and looked at her with a look that only appeared when she cared for some people with poor logical thinking ability and severe cognitive disabilities.
"On such a cold day, as soon as you meet, you will untie your clothes and ask me where the flaws are? Senior Sister Jiang, this is the territory of the northern kingdom where an average of one person freezes to death every minute! At this rate of death, it is still the result of the continuous decline of the population base in the northern kingdom in recent years! I will give you a chance to reorganize the language, and you will answer me when you think about it!"
After saying such a long list of words very quickly, Ye Chenfeng was also a little overwhelmed, and he breathed a sigh of relief before continuing to ask.
"Where are the others?"
However, Senior Sister Jiang, who was stunned and her brain was down, didn't know how to answer for a long time...... Oh no, it's not that she doesn't know how to answer, but she doesn't know how to answer this question in order to make her series of actions less embarrassing.
Fortunately, the "others" hidden in the shadows also noticed the strange atmosphere of the scene, so someone coughed heavily and also walked out of the night.
"Ahem, Senior Brother Ye, you say so...... It's not quite suitable, right? You and Senior Sister Jiang ...... Forget it, don't mention it!"
As he spoke, four more men jumped out of the night and stood behind the man, as if headed by the man.
"It seems that Senior Brother Ye has already succeeded?"
He glanced at the corpse on the ground, his eyelids jumping a few times, but his tone was calm.
"Senior Brother Ye, isn't it good for you to do this? He's just a kid. ”
"I don't understand Senior Brother Jiang's words. ”
This inner disciple is the same sect as Senior Sister Jiang, and Ye Chenfeng has also seen it a few times, so he knows that it is a trouble.
He is also a celebrity among the inner disciples, but the way he became famous is a little shameful. Bullying men and women is commonplace, and sometimes even some more insidious means are used to mutilate fellow disciples.
Although there is no evidence, every time someone offends this Senior Brother Jiang, it is guaranteed that he will disappear when he is out on a mission after a while.
Such a person would actually care about a traitor to the sect at this time, and Ye Chenfeng didn't know what medicine was in his gourd.
"Since I have received the bloodthirsty soul chasing order......" As soon as the words came out, Ye Chenfeng had already looked at these people. "Is there a reason why it can't be done?"
A big man with a hideous face, though
Senior Brother Jiang's cultivation was at least two or three realms higher than Ye Chenfeng's. However, except for him, they were all outer disciples, which made Ye Chenfeng breathe a sigh of relief.
The situation is not irreparable.
Although the positions of these people seem to be a little casual, they can become encircled at any time, and their storage bags are more or less within reach, and some of them have even held flying swords in their hands.
This kind of formation, if it is said that it is to answer Ye Chenfeng, it is too grand.
"Three outer disciples of the ninth layer of qi refining, one inner disciple who also has a cultivation of more than five layers of condensation veins, I really didn't expect that a Ye Wuji is actually worthy of you to be so prosperous" Ye Chenfeng said his speculation with a smile, and the sword box behind him quietly appeared.
"When you see Ye Wuji's corpse, you think I'm too much, aren't you here to hunt down Ye Wuji?"
Senior Brother Jiang didn't speak, and the others naturally didn't dare to talk much, but Ye Chenfeng, who was silent, showed a bright smile for the first time at this time.
"Fellow disciples...... You can't be here to kill me, right?"
