Outside the city.

The sky was dark and gray, it was dawn, everyone had already gotten up, had breakfast, a few 'Xuanyi guards' had changed the night watchman, Liang Xie stretched his waist, yawned and turned back into the house. In the house, Mo Youfan, 'Black and Yellow Twelve Paths', Zong Lao, Yifeng, Tan Xingde, Yu Qibai, Tang Xian and others were all there, and when they saw Liang Xie coming back, Tan Xingde hurriedly asked: "Deacon, that Liu Qianhu failed to recover last night, should we change places?"

Before Liang Xie could answer, Mo Youfan took the lead and said: "Master Tan doesn't need to worry, we are just waiting for Wu Jingguo's people to come today." ”

Tan Xingde frowned and said puzzledly: "Shopkeeper Mo, this is a bit too risky. ”

Mo Youfan said: "Don't worry, we are far more than just the people on the surface, even if the 'Immortal Evil Venerable' comes in person, we may not be able to please us." ”

Tan Xingde was stunned for a moment and understood what he meant, after all, the strength in front of him was just the tip of the iceberg for the 'Six Dragons Gang', and Yimo Youfan's status in the 'Six Dragons Gang' could be mobilized far more than that, and as he was talking, he suddenly heard a voice coming from afar: "Youfan, take our people back to the gang quickly." This voice came through the forest through the wall, but the tone of the gossip on the other side seemed to float in the entire forest, but it also sounded in the ears of everyone, not only the people in the house could hear it, I am afraid that the entire capital also heard it.

Mo Youfan was startled, and was about to ask, but remembered that he didn't have that skill, he hesitated slightly, and was about to send someone back to take a look, but the voice said again: "All the gangs of the 'Six Dragons Gang' are allowed to return to the gang quickly, and they are not allowed to act without authorization." ”

"Distinguished guest?" Mo Youfan frowned, and one of the 'Black and Yellow Twelve Dao' said: "Deputy Hall Master, the order of the helper must not be disobeyed. ”

Mo Youfan let out a long sigh and said, "Okay." I'll go back to help first, if there is nothing important, I will try to rush back, Master Tan, I really can't help it. ”

Tan Xingde hugged his fists and said: "The ink shopkeeper is already grateful for helping our 'Yang Dao Alliance' once, how dare you ask for more?"

"I'm sorry!" Mo Youfan hugged his fists again and apologized, Liang Xie and everyone hurriedly said some kind words, Mo Youfan had no choice but to lead the 'Black and Yellow Twelve Paths' and other subordinates to withdraw, Tan Huizhen wanted to keep Tan Xingde but couldn't bear it, after all, she was forced to follow her master back.

As soon as Mo Youfan left, everyone's morale plummeted instantly, Tan Xingde's expression was even more gloomy, and everyone was silent when suddenly a person outside the courtyard exclaimed: "Hey, why did this tree die?"

Another said: "It's all in season, it's normal for the branches to dry up." It was He Weixiong who spoke.

With a soft click, Li Chuanxiong broke off a branch and said, "See for yourself, even if a normal branch can wither like this in winter?"

After a pause, He Weixiong also said, "Really, this tree is dead?"

Li Chuanxiong said: "Isn't it, it was fine when I came yesterday, but now you see, such thick branches are like firewood." ”

When the two were talking, another person came over and said, "It's really strange, it was fine just now, why did these two trees suddenly die?"

Everyone in the room was inexplicable when they heard the words of the three of them, but Zong Lao's face changed, Huo Ran stood up and left the house in a flash, and Liang Xie and the others hurriedly followed. Zong Lao walked briskly under a big tree and slapped his palms out, only to hear. Kara' sound, hugged the thick tree splashed countless sawdust, then crookedly broken from it, the upper part of the swaying under the breeze slowly fell to the ground, Zong Lao used his hand to touch the fracture carefully, only to see that the fracture is not only dry and incomparably dry, inside and outside the trunk and the bark are not the slightest moisture, Zong Lao frowned and stretched out his hand to grab the trunk, this grasp was not forced, but the usually hard wood was broken by hand, Zong Lao gently shook and opened his hand to the sawdust fluttering in the wind. Zong Lao's brows furrowed tighter, and his body shook to another big tree, and he started with a palm, the same as the previous big tree, this one is also terrible, Zong Lao flashed to a small tree again and raised his palm, this tree is no exception and the first two are the same, Zong Lao raised his eyes and looked at the forest, and was stunned and speechless.

Seeing the kung fu elder on the front foot and the back foot raising his hand, Tan Xingde couldn't help but be a little shocked, and said to Liang Xie and the others next to him: "I didn't expect that the sect elder would not be in retreat for a long time, and this kung fu would be so refined. He knew that the sect elder had the highest kung fu among this group of people, and he also had the strength to split these big trees with his bare hands, but after all, he was good at speed, and he was not good at palm power, so it was indeed surprising that he could break three trees in a row so quickly and lightly.

Tang Xian was also surprised: "Yes, I'm afraid the palm power of the sect elder is not under the master of the Sect." ”

As he spoke, several people came behind Zong Lao, who ignored the flattery of the two and pointed to the broken tree on the ground and said, "You guys will take a look first." ”

Yifeng squatted down to check that his face changed, and he exclaimed, "Uncle Taishi, how can these trees be like this?"

Yu Qibai also hurriedly squatted down when he heard this, and he was also startled at this look, and said: "This is impossible, the trees here were all fine yesterday, even if they die overnight, it will never be like this." ”

Sect Elder smiled bitterly and said, "Under normal circumstances, it is indeed impossible. I also said that even if the 'Dragon God' didn't want to help, he should have said it in advance, and he shouldn't have suddenly summoned the Mo Deputy Hall Master back at this time, it turned out that they were here, so it was no wonder. ”

Everyone was even more puzzled, and Liang Xie Qi said, "Them?"

Zong Lao said: "If you can take away the vitality of all things for your own use, regenerate and create, and then shape the world, who else will there be in this world?"

Tan Xingde was even more surprised and asked, "Who is the person Sect Elder refers to...... Sick and old?"

Elder Zong nodded and said, "Well, ten years ago, an old friend of mine had dealt with him, and I saw him absorb the vitality of a willow tree to renew his life, and the willow tree became like this in just half a cup of tea. He said, gesturing to the dead trees underground.

"No, the sect senior is wrong, this time it's not a sick ghost. Just in the midst of everyone's surprise, a voice suddenly sounded, everyone turned around, only to see a handsome boy looking like a man holding a folding fan slowly coming, his steps are not fast and not too big, but a distance of more than ten zhang is a few steps.

Sect Elder glanced at the person who came, frowned, and said, "Your Excellency thinks that if you are not a sick old man, then who is it?"

The visitor smiled and did not answer.

Seeing that the other party was unwilling to answer, Liang Xie clenched his fists and asked, "Who is this friend?"

The man who looked like a boy hugged his fists and said: "It's good to say, in Xia Nangong Liu, the people in the rivers and lakes are called Nanli Gongzi." ”

"One of the three great swordsmen of Kyushu, the son of Nanli of the 'Ten Mile Tower'?" Tan Xingde was taken aback and asked. His third brother Tan Xingye has a good relationship with this Nanli son, and he also sent Tan Xingye to win over him during the battle of the capital, but because his strength was too poor, Tan Xingye never opened his mouth, but this Nanli son in front of him is by no means like the Nanli son who can only write limerick poems in Tan Xingye's mouth, and his martial arts are poor and he has no skills.

Nanli Gongzi said with a smile: "The three major swordsmen of Kyushu don't dare to be, but they are indeed below." ”

Tan Xingde saw him admit and said, "I don't know what Nanli Gongzi is doing here?"

Nanli Gongzi said: "Naturally, I will help you." ”

"Help us?" Tan Xingde asked again, there was some unhappiness in his words, when his third brother Tan Xingye went to ask them for help, they must have known what Tan Xingye meant, but they still pretended to be stupid and deceived Tan Xingye, and now that everyone is dead, they are willing to help, which is a bit of schadenfreude.

Nanli Gongzi saw Tan Xingde's expression in his eyes, but said indifferently: "Not bad." The people who originally had the 'Six Dragons Gang' secretly planned to fight against Wu Jingguo, but unfortunately now even the 'Dragon God' may have been dragged down. ”

Zong Lao's brows furrowed again, and he said: "Friend's words are a bit exaggerated, that sick old man's strength is true, but compared to the 'Dragon God', I'm afraid it's still insufficient, right? ”

Nanli Gongzi shook his head and said: "The senior of the sect is wrong, the age of the sick old is actually not very old, a few years younger than the next, to be precise, he should be the master of the younger generation." ”

"Younger generation?" Elder Zong's brows furrowed even tighter.

Nanli Gongzi said: "Exactly, the sick old man has suffered from the disease of old age since childhood, he is one year old like an ordinary person ten years old or even dozens of years old, the magic medicine is exhausted and still to no avail, and later" Thor "personally bestowed" Great Creation Divine Power "to help him continue his life, and to be commensurate with brothers, although the sick and dead ghost does not belong to the people of the "Thunder Sect", he rarely appears in the heavenly city and the rivers and lakes, and rarely does it, and he has never done his best, but only the order of the "Thor" is to listen, and now it is acting on behalf of the "Thor", although he also came this time, but the real finale is not him. ”

"There are still people who are sick and old, is it?" the sect elder guessed.

"Yes, Thor has already come in person. "Nanli Gongzi Road.
