¹After leaving the Governor's Pavilion, Xiao Yu did not plan to return to the dormitory, but came to the junction of the outer courtyard and the inner courtyard.

In Shenwu Academy, if you are not a person from the inner courtyard, you can't enter without getting the token of the inner courtyard, and the inner courtyard and the outer courtyard are bounded by a small river, and the small river has a sad name, called the Broken Intestine River.

This river has existed for a long time, and its history is even longer than that of the Firmament Empire and the Divine Martial Academy. It is rumored that once upon a time, there was a couple of lovers who were very in love with each other, and they made a living from fishing.

At that time, the war was raging, and soon the war spread here, like all young and strong, the man was arrested and sent to the army, and Dugu left the woman.

Later, a cultivator passed by here and taught the woman the method of cultivating immortals, and the woman began to cultivate. She has excellent qualifications, and she soon broke through to the realm of the unity of heaven and man.

So she planned to go to the man, and later got the news that the man had fought in the north and south, had been made a general, and had married the daughter of the leader of that army.

When she heard the news, her whole body fell into sadness, and the love for the man in her heart made her unable to muster up the courage to go to him. By this small river, I washed my face with tears all day long, and finally died depressed.

The person who taught her to cultivate immortals sighed, if it weren't for the fact that the man hurt her and shattered her mood, she had every chance to soar to become an immortal. It's a pity that she passed away in the end. As a result, the river was later named the Broken Gut River.

It is said that the soul of the woman is in the river of broken intestines, and everyone who wants to cross the river must be tested by her soul.

But it's all legend, after all, so many years have passed. Moreover, no one in the Shenwu Academy dared to forcibly cross the river.

Xiao Yu stared at the river quietly and muttered, "Soon, I'm going to find you......"

After returning to the dormitory, Feng Qi and Tu Chong were playing chess, while Luo Tianxin was watching with relish. Seeing Xiao Yu coming back, Luo Tianxin came over and asked curiously, "Brother Xiao, have you really signed up for the Outer Courtyard Competition?"

Although Feng Qi and Tu Chong were playing chess, they were also listening. Xiao Yu replied: "Naturally, I have already registered." ”

"You're this!" Luo Tianxin gave a thumbs up and said with admiration.

"Is this a game of chess?" Xiao Yu asked, glancing at the chessboard. "Yo hey, it's still soul refining chess. ”

"Do you know the Soul Refining Chess?" Feng Qi and Tu Chong asked in unison.

"Yes. Tu Chong, your chess skills are too bad, why don't you get out of the way, and I'll make the next move?" Xiao Yu said as he looked at a bad chessboard.

"Will you go down?" Feng Qi asked.

"Yes, why not?"

"Come on, I won't be able to hold out any longer. Tu Chong stood up in a soft voice and gave up his position.

After Xiao Yu sat down, Feng Qi gently placed his hand on the chessboard and patted it gently, the chess pieces on the chessboard seemed to have feet, and the black and white chess pieces were neatly arranged into two pieces.

"Brother Xiao, you choose. Feng Qi made a gesture of please, as an old student, he naturally had to be friendly to the new students, so he asked Xiao Yu to choose first.

Generally speaking, black chess is played first, and the first player naturally has the right of first occupation, and the nine dragon's eyes on the chessboard are the place that must be taken. Therefore, the first few hands in the game are mainly to capture the dragon's eye, and if the sunspot goes first, he can win one more dragon's eye than the white.

Feng Qi's meaning was to let Xiao Yu choose black chess first, so that he could also let the dragon eye give it to him.

Xiao Yu smiled slightly and took away the white son.

"Xiao Yu, you can't help but look down on Feng Qi too much, right? Feng Qi is one of the top ten people in our outer courtyard soul refining chess!" Seeing that Xiao Yu won the white zi, Tu Chong felt that Xiao Yu, a newborn calf, was too arrogant.

"Yes, don't you know the rules?" Feng Qi had some doubts that Xiao Yu wouldn't know how to play at all, so he asked.

"The middle palace is the torch, and the soul is the mountains and rivers!" Xiao Yu did not answer him, but used his spiritual power to slowly hold up a white son, and injected his spiritual power and soul into this white seed, which represented his main general.

This white piece is the first chess piece he wants to play on the chessboard, it is the core of the entire soul refining chess, everything revolves around this white chess fight, once this white piece is surrounded by the opponent, three rounds can not get out of trouble, it is a loss of this chess.

Bai Zi was quietly suspended in the palm of his hand, and he said, "Please." ”

Feng Qi saw that his series of actions were still presentable, and he seemed to be really good at it, so he didn't continue to dwell on this issue at the moment. Therefore, he also used his spiritual power to hold up a sunspot, injected his soul into it, and slowly fell to the center of the chessboard, which is the largest piece of territory among the nine dragon's eyes, and its geographical location is very important.

Seeing that the black clothes fell first and placed the dragon's eye in the center of the chessboard, Xiao Yu smiled slightly at the corner of his mouth, and very casually put the white child on the palm of his hand somewhere in the lower right corner, and it was not a dragon's eye.

This chessboard is square, distinguished by the dragon's eye, showing the trend of a nine-palace diagram. Feng Qi's first subordinate is the center of the Middle Palace, and according to the usual method, the other eight places are the places where the two sides will fight for each other. However, Xiao Yu did not snatch the dragon's eye, which made Feng Qi and Tu Chong very puzzled. Only Luo Tianxin didn't understand it very well, so he didn't think there was anything wrong.

"You...... Why don't you fight for the dragon's eye?" Tu Chong pinched the orchid finger, flicked it lightly, and asked.

Feng Qi had already taken the second piece in his hand at this time, and seeing the position of Xiao Yu's first chess piece, it made him very uncomfortable.

Feng Qi is a person with obsessive-compulsive disorder, originally everyone came and went, Heizi won five longans, and Baizi won four dragonans, and after the longans were snatched, they used their respective longans as a stronghold and officially entered the "war" stage. But Xiao Yu's first son did not occupy the dragon's eye, which made him feel a pimple in his heart, how could he still play this chess?

Thinking of this, Feng Qi began to hesitate, and the chess pieces in his palm could not fall for a long time. He didn't know if he should snatch the dragon's eye or not.

"You...... Don't want longan?don't want the stronghold, how are you fighting this?" Feng Qi finally couldn't help but ask, wanting to know why Xiao needed to fall like this.

The corners of Xiao Yu's mouth turned up slightly, with a smile on his face, and then said indifferently: "It's time for you to fall." ”

"Forget it! Since Tu Chong and Tu Chong don't care about reminding him, then what else do I remind?" Feng Qi said in his heart, and then dropped the sunspot in his hand to the dragon's eye in Xun Palace.

As soon as his chess pieces fell, Bai Zi quickly fell again, this time somewhere in the middle palace. This time, Xiao Yu didn't grab the dragon's eye again!

"What kind of fighting style do you have? don't want a dragon's eye?" Feng Qi said, dropping the third one to the place where the dragon's eye left the palace.

And Xiao Yu was still so fast, and soon fell where Bai Zi was in the middle palace.

"Is the rafter guarding the middle palace's way of playing?" Feng Qi frowned, and said silently in his heart, but shook his head again, after all, this style of play is only suitable for the dragon's eye that occupies the middle palace. Obviously, the dragon's eye in this middle palace is in his own hands.

Subsequently, after a few pieces in a row, Feng Qi had already occupied eight dragon's eyes, just when he thought that Xiao Yu was a dragon's eye and did not plan to occupy it. The last one, the dragon's eye of the Kan Palace directly below the chessboard, fell a white piece.

At this time, he found that his eight sunspots occupied eight dragon's eyes, and Xiao Yu's seven white sons were in the posture of bending bows, and the white seeds at the dragon's eyes in Kangong were in the form of arrows the moment he fell.

"It's ...... Bending the bow and shooting the dragon array, the way to deal with you mortals is more than enough!" Xiao Yu said in his heart.

"It's not good! his eight chess pieces have become a formation, and my Kungong Longyan is in danger!" The moment Feng Qi found out that the Kangong Longyan was occupied, he felt the danger.

"Resist! Resist quickly! This is the August Flowing Fire! If you lose the Kungong Dragon's Eye, your right wing will all collapse! Archie, save the moon in the Qiangong, use your soul to blast over and save the Kungong Dragon's Eye!" Tu Chong on the side said anxiously.

"Do you still need to say this?" Feng Qi glanced at him, and a sunspot was about to descend into the Qiangong in the lower right corner.

"Ahem!" Xiao Yu coughed, lightly tapped the chessboard with his right hand, and said lightly: "Look at my first chess piece." ”

"You ......" Feng Qi's hand stopped in mid-air, and then he found that the white son in the Qiangong was particularly dazzling, it was Xiao Yu's first son, it was Xiao Yu's main shogun, and he was playing in the Qiangong at this time, two small chess, how could they be compared to one main shogi? Playing here, it was tantamount to looking for death, but I was afraid that it would die faster.

He only hated that his chess pieces were distributed in various dragon's eyes, and now if he wants to rescue, he is beyond the reach of the whip.

"I ...... I'm losing!" Feng Qi said with a look of loss. What's the use of occupying so many dragon's eyes, don't you still expose all your backs, and they are about to be broken one by one.

"What kind of play are you?" Tu Chong was also shocked, the first time he saw such a play, he was caught off guard at all, he had never seen a play that didn't occupy the dragon's eye!

"This is called the Curved Bow Shooting Dragon Array, in the early days, everyone didn't have many chess pieces, and the long-range attack was always much stronger than fighting face-to-face. Besides, the distribution of your first few chess pieces is too far away, and if you want to rescue, you can't connect into a battle line, so it will naturally be a collapse. Xiao Yu smiled and said, he didn't plan to hide it.

"Brother Xiao, where did you learn this style of play, I have never seen a style of play that does not require a dragon's eye. After listening to Xiao Yu's words, Feng Qi was depressed, he lost this game too unjustly, who would have thought that Xiao Yu's chess strength would be so unreasonable?

"Who said I don't want longan anymore? Don't I want it anymore?" Xiao Yu pointed to the white child in Kan Palace and said.

At this time, it was already night, Zhan Qingxiao sneaked to the City Lord's Mansion, at this time the lights were bright, and there was a soldier holding a torch every dozen steps, and a rope was tied between the two big pillars in the center of the square of the City Lord's Mansion, and two people were hanging under the rope, which were the bodies of Lu Xu and Xu Daming.

The two soldiers on the side whipped with whips, whipping one whip after another, and a burst of anger appeared in Zhan Qingxiao's eyes, he didn't expect these people to be so vicious, even the dead people didn't let go.

He carefully looked at the surrounding situation, Ling Jian could be said to be a threat to him, although he could escape Ling Jian's bow and arrow alone, but it was unlikely that he would take the bodies of two people with him.

He didn't feel Ling Jian's breath, but he didn't believe that Ling Jian would not be here, and there were a few masters of the Awakening Stage hidden around, and there were some vague formation stones, and he didn't need to look at it to know that the entire City Lord's Mansion was full of traps.

He didn't plan to go out directly now, if he showed up now, he hadn't figured out the situation yet, and he couldn't figure out the situation yet, and he wouldn't be able to get stuck here, after all, the foundation of a city lord's mansion could not be underestimated, and in Maohai City before, Xu Jinglong was just a mere guard, and he had to flee in embarrassment.

At this time, the City Lord's Mansion must have a large array to protect the mansion, not to mention, and many small formations have been arranged, as long as they step in, everyone will all aim at themselves.

He closed his eyes, and the immortal soul wanted to peek into the formation, only when he knew what kind of formation it was, and when the time came, he could snatch back their corpses, and then he could retreat with his whole body.

"The Nine Palaces Leaving the Heaven Great Array? is a bit of a doorway, such a formation can be regarded as a top-notch formation even in the immortal realm! It's just that the cornerstone of the formation is just an ordinary spirit jade, if it is an immortal stone, I'm afraid I have to reach the realm of the unity of heaven and man to be able to break it." "His immortal soul stood in the sky above the entire City Lord's Mansion, and he could see the great array of the City Lord's Mansion at a glance.

However, he saw that there seemed to be several killing arrays in the center, but these killing arrays seemed to be temporarily arranged, so the power was not very strong, but it could also cause him some trouble, at least if he wanted to successfully rescue Lu Xu and Xu Daming, not only had to break the formation first, but also had to deal with more than a dozen masters of the Awakening Period.

Although his spirit sealing spell can seal the spiritual power that is not higher than his two great realms, it can only be one-on-one, and if there are so many people, it will naturally not work.

He first figured out the layout of the City Lord's Mansion, and at this time, he had just withdrawn the immortal soul, when he suddenly heard the soldier who was smoking the landing order stop, and said in a somewhat unhappy tone: "Lord Commander, when will we draw it? Draw a dead person, he won't scream so many times, this is no different from pumping a dead pig!"

"Smoke it, smoke it!!" the Commander scolded at a loud voice.

The soldier had no choice but to turn around and continue to whip the landing sequence, saying unhappily as he smoked: "It's been a few hours, what's the use!"

Zhan Qingxiao waited quietly, it was already late at night, and several people were yawning, as if they were a little tired.

"Here's the opportunity!" he first jumped softly to a corner, which was a node of the Great Array of the City Lord's Mansion, if he didn't destroy the eight nodes of the Great Array of the Protector's Mansion and break in at will, not only the large and small arrays would be activated, but even everyone would be alarmed.

He knocked out the soldiers guarding this node with a slap of his hand, and then destroyed the spirit jade of the city protection array.

Then follow the vine and touch the melon, and destroy the remaining seven spirit jade stones, so that even if the Great Protector Array is launched, it will fall apart because there is no support from the node.

The great array that posed the greatest threat to him had been destroyed, and he summoned the Ming Qiao Bow, and the aura arrow was raised, forming three arrows, aiming at the soldiers and the leader of the soldiers who were whipping the landing order and Xu Daming.

"Gather momentum!" he opened his hand, and three spiritual energy arrows slashed across the night sky like meteors, hitting the hearts of the three of them.

Suddenly, he was shot by the aura arrow, and the two soldiers who were beaten were killed instantly, only the leader of the soldiers did not die immediately because he was already in the awakening period, but looked at the blood in his heart in shock, and shouted loudly: "Enemy attack!"

With that, he fell to the ground, his body twitching, and he didn't move. And those soldiers who were originally sleepy, a spirit, clenched the blades in their hands and looked around on guard.

At this time, Zhan Qingxiao, who was dressed in white, jumped into the middle, and the Liquan Fuxian spear in his hand cut through the rope of the hanging landing sequence and Xu Daming, and put them down first.

Somewhere in the dark, the corners of Ling Jian's mouth flashed with a smile when he saw this scene, and he said softly, "Is it finally here?"

He untied the bow from his back, drew an arrow from the quiver at his waist, took the bow, and aimed it at the sky.

As soon as the two of them were put down, the surrounding soldiers reacted and surrounded him, their weapons aimed at him.

Zhan Qingxiao felt that he was locked by a breath at this time, and he knew that it should be Ling Arrow aiming at him in the dark.

He carried Lu Xu on his waist and carried Xu Daming on his back, he was only about fifteen years old, so after carrying Xu Daming, he was in Xu Daming's arms, just like Xu Daming was holding him.

He tied Xu Daming with the strap of his clothes, and then swept his spear, swept away the soldiers who surrounded him, and ran outside.

"Whoosh!" the long arrow was like a momentum, and Zhan Qingxiao turned slightly to one side, and the arrow grazed his right wrist and fell to the ground.

"I've figured out the trajectory of your arrow, and without the bonus of the Great Array of Protectors, what are you going to do to capture me?" Zhan Qingxiao sneered.

Seeing that Zhan Qingxiao was carrying the two of them on his back, and he could still dodge his cold arrow, he whispered to the back: "Activate the Great Array of Protectors!

The people behind responded and prepared to activate the Great Protector Array, and at this time, Zhan Qingxiao felt that there seemed to be a faint wind and rain in the sky, and the whole person was in a fog.

"It turned out to be the Fog Shadow Array of the Nine Palaces Leaving the Heavens, if I hadn't destroyed the node, I wouldn't have been able to escape with the two of them. Zhan Qingxiao snorted coldly, closed his eyes and rushed out directly.

"How is it possible? Under the Great Array of Protectors, he can still rush forward? Is he not going to die? There are countless hidden weapons arranged in the fog shadows, and if you break indiscriminately, you will be stabbed all over your body sooner or later!" Ling Jian looked at Zhan Qingxiao in the mist and rushed straight towards the outside of the City Lord's Mansion, and did not stop for a moment, as if these fogs were in his eyes.

The hidden weapon in the formation was triggered, and Zhan Qingxiao swung his gun away, and none of the hidden weapons attacked him.

"Uh-huh...... I'll see how much you can hide!" Ling Jian sneered, looking at Zhan Qingxiao on the field, and then he suddenly found that the hidden weapons attacking Zhan Qingxiao suddenly became fewer, and the fog in the array slowly began to fade.

"Lord Ling Jian, the Eight Dragon Eyes of the Great Array of the Protectorate have all been destroyed!" At this time, a soldier hurriedly came over to report to him.

"How is that possible!" Ling Jian said as he looked incredulously at the fading mist.

Zhan Qingxiao jumped into the air, and said loudly to Ling Jian, who was hidden in the shadows: "Archer!

Without the restraint of the formation, Zhan Qingxiao took a shadow-piercing step and quickly disappeared into the City Lord's Mansion.

Ling Jian clenched his fists with both hands, and slammed his fist on the big pillar next to him, the pillar instantly cracked a few cracks, and said hatefully: "I will definitely catch you!"
