Huarong Town is a small city, located in the southwest of Fengchuan under the Linghe Mountains, naturally the scenery is beautiful, the water is generous, there is no particularly big mansion, just a small house of hundreds of common people, connected together into a town, a city.

A two-story tavern, deserted and deserted, with a few tables whispering beside it, through the window, you can see the ridge of the Linghe Mountain Range, as well as the wild mountains that stretch left and right.

Shen Chai stared out the window, not knowing what he was thinking.

Outside, the rain is pouring down, and there are pedestrians hurrying through the street from time to time, splashing water and raindrops sandwiched together, and there is a sound of "poof, poof".

"Senior, why do you say these people are wearing black umbrellas?" Shen Chai's eyes glanced down slightly, and he spoke suspiciously.

Now it's the second day they've come here, they have changed their outfits, left the desert, and naturally no longer need clothes to cover the wind and sand, but the two of them are drinking here at the moment, obviously things are not going well.

"Who knows? Maybe it's the hawker shops here that sell black umbrellas. Xiong Yan poured it into the cup, tilted his head into his mouth, and said absentmindedly.

Shen Chai frowned, recalling what he had seen the day before, after a long run and two nights in the desert, they finally arrived at Huarong Town on the third day, and the strange thing was that the farmers in Yanbian seemed to have disappeared, and the large areas of crops and fertile fields were all overgrown with weeds and wasted.

The big thing is very important, so as soon as the two of them came to the town, they looked for their way, but they didn't expect that the Linghe Mountain Range, where the Xuanye Sect is located, was empty, and there was no one in the mansions and courtyard gates, and even the gold and silver were soft and the jade beads were there, but the people were gone.

Under careful investigation, there were traces of fights everywhere in the main hall, Shen Chai and Xiong Yan searched all the way to the most important storehouse, and finally saw the dried and red bloodstains, all of which were immersed in the cracks of the lines along the stone, bricks and wood, it was obvious that there was a disaster in the Xuanye Sect, and it had been a long time.

What's even more strange is that on the streets of Huarong Town, people are wearing the same black umbrella, even if it didn't rain yesterday, it is still a black umbrella swimming on a sunny day, and I don't know why I thought I hit a ghost.

"Guest, your dishes are ready. Xiao Er's face was lifeless, and when he brought the last dish, he was about to turn around and walk away, but was stopped by the young man.

Shen Chai stared at Xiao Er's eyes, and asked again hopefully, "Wait a minute, I'll ask you about something, where did this person from Xuanye Sect go?"

Xiao Er's thin face suddenly showed a trace of cold stubble, and he didn't look at the silver two that Shen Chai placed on the table, responded coldly, and turned away: "I don't know." ”

"According to me, just catch one of the people here in front of me and ask, how can you be so clueless?" Xiong Yan suddenly spoke, his voice was rough and heroic, and he didn't care about Xiao Er, who was leaving downstairs without paying attention.

Shen Chai shook his head, he asked almost everyone he met in the past two days, but their answers were all in unison that they didn't know, and after knowing the question, they all behaved extremely indifferent.

Of course, Shen Chai knew that Xiong Yan's method was feasible, but now that a cultivator had not encountered a sword, he didn't want to threaten and persecute those ordinary people.

As he was talking, suddenly in the distance of the street outside the store, there was a riot scream, Shen Chai poked his head out, his eyes were sharp, and he saw a group of ordinary people with black umbrellas, who were pushed and crowded to chase over, their faces were full of panic, and immediately someone fell to the ground, and the overturned black umbrella did not have time to hold the rain, and was immediately trampled into a mess by the people behind.

In the crowd, a person stumbled out, extremely flustered, under the red-sleeved shirt was a petite body, it turned out to be a little girl, but the speed was very fast, and the body twisted and cleverly avoided all the obstacles in front of her, it seemed that it was a girl who had stepped into cultivation early, and it was also the first cultivator Shen Chai had seen so far.

Shen Chai's eyes were very sharp, and he would never make a mistake, seeing the little girl, rushing towards him, and then at a nearby street corner, his body reacted immediately, holding the window edge with one hand, stepping on it with both feet, and kicking it violently, he jumped up at the window entrance, left the restaurant, and flew to the roof of a private house across the street.

The distance of several zhang was easily crossed in the air, and the strength of the feet was really shocking, and the window edge on the second floor of the restaurant shattered in response, until Shen Chai's figure fell on the tiles again, and there was a few "clangs".

The rain poured on Shen Chai's face, but he couldn't stop his eyes like a torch, staring closely at the figure of the little girl running away, exerting force under his feet, leaping on the roofs of one house after another, the beams of the tiled houses shook, and from time to time there were people's cursing and angry voices.

After turning the corner, the little girl changed four or five streets in succession, and her figure was almost invisible when the houses were getting denser and denser, but Shen Chai didn't have this worry, on the roofs of one building after another, he could easily lock the little girl's location, and it was getting closer and closer.

Shen Chai's feet accelerated again, splashing a splash, and finally in a row of alleys of houses of different heights, bullying the little girl, this alley has a shelving plank on the top, blocking part of the rain, at this time you can clearly see her tied around the waist, the red knot rope floating backwards, and scattered water droplets, so with a kick, Shen Chai landed behind her, and wanted to reach out and grab it.

But seeing her turn around suddenly, her eyebrows and eyes were extremely clear, a pair of smart big eyes, her face was full of annoyance, the rain slid down her cheeks, Shen Chai was stunned, but the little girl slammed into her palm, and the power of the stars fluctuated, and it was actually the realm of the consummation of the stars.

The appearance of the little girl is at most thirteen or fourteen years old, and she has reached the consummation of star martial arts, and this talent is not compromised compared to Mo Xiaoyu.

If it was Shen Chai three months ago, he would have to go all out in the face of the little girl's palm, but now, this kind of attack is a little insufficient, Shen Chai's face did not change, and in an instant, he used his right hand to scatter the danger of this palm, and grabbed the little girl's left wrist, and under the double suppression of realm and strength, it was difficult to move.

The little girl stubbornly tried, but couldn't break free, so she looked at the young man in front of her, who was not much older than herself, and there was a mist in her eyes, and she said sadly: "Are you also their minions?"

Shen Chai knew that his behavior must have made her misunderstand something, although he looked at her pitiful eyes, he couldn't bear it, but he also had to restrain her, and replied in a deep voice: "No... I just wanted to ask you, where did all the people of the Xuanye Sect who are here run away?"

"Also, who are those people chasing you?"

Shen Chai knew very well that it was impossible for a sect to easily abandon the inheritance of the homeland, even if it encountered an accident and was scattered by a strong enemy, it would definitely remain in the vicinity, and the power of the stars in the Linghe Mountain Range was not comparable to any place, so Shen Chai was very anxious and uneasy, and he was still waiting in Huarong Town until the little girl appeared.

The little girl took a second breath, looked at Shen Chai's delicate face, eyebrows like bamboo branches, blinked her eyes twice, and said, "Don't you know? I am a member of the Xuanye Sect, and my name is Hongtong." ”
