For the first time, the night sky of the Star Picking Courtyard made everyone so depressed, the bright moon hanging in the air was covered tightly by dark clouds like thousands of horses galloping, no matter how its weak light struggled, it could not tear apart the darkness in front of it, and the Star Picking Courtyard, which had been prosperous in the past, was in a mess at this time, and the air was filled with the smell of blood that could not go back for a long time.

Xiang Chen sat in front of the steps and hugged Lin Xue's corpse and cried bitterly for a long time, even Shen Yu didn't know how to persuade him, and Lin Changfeng, the majestic dean of the Suri faction, was also standing in the hall with his hands in his hands at this time, his snow-white long eyebrows twisted together, intertwined with anger and sadness.

After about an hour, Xiang Chen had already dried his tears, slowly stood up with Lin Xue's corpse in his arms, walked up to Lin Changfeng and several elders, and said with a dull gaze: "Lord Dean, please forgive the disciple for his gaffe." His voice had long since become hoarse.

Lin Changfeng sighed and said, "The deceased is gone, and you must not be discouraged because of this." ”

Xiang Chen nodded silently and sadly.

"Xiang Chen, what's going on in the north?" Lin Changfeng said the biggest worry in his heart.

"Jiang Yan and Lu Xuanji rebelled, and the 'Heavenly Punishment' team in the north was ambushed by a large number of big demons, and the five hundred disciples and nearly two thousand entourages of our academy, except for me and Yan Feng, none of them survived!"

Speaking of the bloody battle in the north, Xiang Chenhu's eyes were full of tears, and his gloomy eyes were full of anger in an instant.

At this point, everyone was stunned. Things were even worse than they thought, although they had already known that Jiang Yan had rebelled, they still didn't want to believe that Jiang Yan would do such a ruthless thing. Even Lin Changfeng, who had experienced wind and waves, stumbled and almost fell to the ground.

"Lord Dean!" Lei Gang and Chu Qing hurriedly held Lin Changfeng's arm.

"Four hundred and ninety-eight disciples, none of them survived, Lin Changfeng, what face do you have to go down to Jiuquan to meet the previous deans and elders of the academy? How can you be worthy of these hot-blooded children?" Lin Changfeng muttered to himself tremblingly, as if he had aged for several years in the blink of an eye.

Since the establishment of the Star Picking Academy, when have there been such heavy casualties, nearly half of the demon hunters have been killed, even if it was the 'heavenly punishment' in the early stage, the demon hunters have never had such losses in the bloody battle with a large number of big demons.

"When the disciple came, he fortunately met Mo Yu and the other two senior brothers, if they hadn't stopped Lu Xuanji, the disciple would not have been able to escape from the northern border. ”

"Senior Brother Mo Yu?" Shen Yu was shocked when he heard this, only then did he remember that Mo Yu and Chen Wen had said that they were going to the north to call Jiang Yan back at noon today.

"Senior Brother Mo Yu, he's in danger!" Shen Yu said anxiously, turning around and leaving.

"Come back! Everyone is exhausted from today's battle, where do you want to go at this time?" Chu Qing helped Lin Changfeng and drank Shen Yu loudly.

"But Senior Brother, he and the two Senior Brothers are still in the North, and those big demons who escaped from the hunting ground must have fled to the North!" Shen Yu said hurriedly.

"I know, those big demons have also been injured, with Mo Yu's strength, if he wants to escape, he will definitely be able to escape, you go at this time is nothing more than to send him to death!" Chu Qing was not worried about the disciple he was most proud of, but now, everyone urgently needed to recover after this battle, if he rushed here, it would undoubtedly be the next step.

"But they!"

Shen Yu wanted to continue arguing, but Liu Ziqi grabbed his sleeve, looked at him with tears in his eyes and said, "Don't go again, okay?"

Liu Ziqi's suit was still stained with blood, and she grabbed Shen Yu's right hand tightly. She was afraid that even Shen Yu would suddenly leave her.

"Shen Yu, Senior Brother Mo Yu, he will be fine, Lu Xuanji, that bastard can't help him, don't let Ziqi worry about you anymore. ”

Xiang Chen turned his head to look at Shen Yu and said, his eyes seemed to be pleading, but he was a little worried about Mo Yu and them.

"Everyone must rest well tonight, recover their strength as soon as possible, and tomorrow all the demon hunters will assemble and follow this seat to the north to arrest the traitors and kill the big demons!"

Lin Changfeng gritted his teeth and slowly spit out the last few words, the solemn voice calmed the arguments of several people, and his cold gaze swept over everyone present: "Tomorrow, no one can die again!"

As soon as the words fell, even though everyone was extremely resentful of Jiang Yan and the rioting demon in their hearts, they didn't say anything anymore, only Xiang Chen picked up Lin Xue's corpse and said in a hoarse voice to several people: "I'm sorry, I'm tired." ”

Then he picked up Lin Xue's corpse, slowly walked in front of several people, and walked through the square outside the deacon's hall, towards the dormitory of the disciples of the Star Picking Academy. There is a bamboo building there, which Xiang Chen has always called Xuelu, which was built by him and Shen Yu, Liu Ziqi and others for himself and Lin Xue.

"Xiang Chen!" Shen Yu shouted at Xiang Chen's back, the once majestic young man Xiang Chen was so depressed at this time, leaving only a lonely back in this empty night, gradually drifting away.

"Let him stay alone for a while, I believe that this apprentice of mine, he can survive!"

The silent Lei Gang looked at the back of Xiang Chen, who was lonely and left, and sat on the steps and sighed. Everyone knew that Lei Gang was stricter with Xiang Chen than anyone else on weekdays, and tonight, he didn't like to see Xiang Chen lose his temper in front of him, but he couldn't reprimand Xiang Chen like he did in the past, but felt a sour feeling in his heart, and he felt very sorry for his apprentice.

"I'm going to cut off the head of that big demon called the red lizard and pay tribute to the dead children!"

Lei Gang sat up suddenly, and then remembered that the Red Lizard Demon was still locked in the inner hall of the deacon's hall before they came out.

"It's been killed by me. Chu Qing said with a gloomy face, and began to regret letting the red lizard die so easily.

"How? How are you?" Lei Gang's eyes widened, but Chu Qing lowered his head silently.

Lin Changfeng glanced at Chu Qing and said lightly: "Chu Qing, you are also the deacon elder of our court, I know your temperament, but you should also know that those big demons will not give up invading the land of our human race and hurting the people of our human race because of your kindness, we treat them in a bad way, and this is not what we want, if it is not for them to try to plot against our human race, how can they cause death? I hope you can remember my words in the future." ”

"Remember the teachings of the Dean!" Chu Qing sighed and arched his hand.

"Okay, you two should go back to recuperate quickly, and persuade Xiang Chen. ”

Lin Changfeng turned around again and said to Shen Yu and Liu Ziqi, who were still standing at the bottom of the steps.

"Disciple obeys!" The two bowed, only to find that their hands were still tightly held together at the moment, and they were a little embarrassed for a while.

"Yes, I'm sorry. Shen Yu let go of Liu Ziqi's right hand in a little panic.

"It's fine. Liu Ziqi smiled softly, her hand was a little white from Shen Yu's grip.

After that, the two of them gave up their hands to Lin Changfeng and several elders to resign.

Lin Changfeng and a few elders on the stairs nodded, then turned around and walked back into the deacon's hall.

"Master, Senior Brother Mo Yu, they?" Shen Yu was still worried about Mo Yu in the north when he left.

"Don't worry, it'll be fine, go back quickly!" Chu Qing looked at Shen Yu and smiled lightly, then turned around and walked into the hall.

Seeing Chu Qing walking into the hall, Shen Yu also nodded to Liu Ziqi and walked towards the dormitory with her.

On the way back, Shen Yu and Liu Ziqi clasped their fingers again at some point, but the two of them didn't notice it all the way.

Before walking to the snow house, the two of them looked at the room with the lights on inside and stopped at the same time.

"If one day, I'll too..." Shen Yu, who had been silent for a moment, suddenly sighed and looked at Liu Ziqi next to him.

saw that Liu Ziqi was looking at him with wide eyes at this time, and his eyes that had not been long after stopping his tears were filled with tears again.

Shen Yu couldn't help but tremble in his heart, and hurriedly swallowed his words back and said, "I, I'm talking nonsense, I...."

Before he finished speaking, Liu Ziqi silently lowered his head, let go of the hand holding him and didn't say a word. Shen Yu was very annoyed, in a short period of time, Liu Ziqi's fragile heart had been hurt so much, and he actually said such a thing at this time.

Shen Yu was feeling remorseful, but saw Xiao Wu hurriedly walking over.

"Senior Brother Shen, Senior Sister Liu, why don't you go to rest yet?" Xiao Wu asked suspiciously when he saw the two of them.

"It's nothing, Xiao Wu, where are you going in such a hurry?" Shen Yu also asked suspiciously when he saw Xiao Wu coming.

"Oh, just sent a message from the White Spirit Bird, the Emperor of the People will come to the academy soon, and I will go and tell the dean about them. ”

"Human Emperor?" Shen Yu and Liu Ziqi both looked at Xiao Wu suspiciously.

"Alas, such a big thing happened in the academy and the imperial city, which naturally alarmed the human emperor, but I didn't expect him to rush over overnight. ”

"Oh, the dean and a few elders should still be in the deacon's hall, you can go there and pay homage. Shen Yu nodded suddenly in realization.

"Well, okay, then I'll go first, senior brother and sister, let's rest early. ”

Xiao Wu hurriedly walked towards the deacon's hall again, and Shen Yu and Liu Ziqi also returned to their residences after staying under the snow house for a while.
