Chapter Ninety-Six: Tracing the Trail

As soon as the sky was bright, after obtaining Ashinayan's consent, Xuan Qi sent the 10,000 Juyan Sea Spirit Horsemen on the periphery to the field and began to narrow the scope of the search. Until noon, the scope of the search had included the entire Ice and Snow Valley, but Hua Yingchun and Li Mengyao were still not found, which made Xuan Qi and Ashina Yan both begin to lose confidence a little, worried that the two had taken the opportunity to slip out of the encirclement.

"The world is so big, if you let these two wolf-hearted things slip out, I really don't know where to look for them, I'm Ashinayan, it's really a son of man in vain!"

"Brother Ashina Yan doesn't have to be like this, can Gu Zhong confirm that he has searched for everything?"

"Yes, even Uchiya has been carefully searched inch by inch. ”

"Inner Valley?" Xuan Qi suddenly remembered how he had stolen the "Seven Nights Jade Lotus", and immediately blurted out, "Can Brother Ashina Yan let Zai Xia enter the Inner Valley and his party?"

"This ······" Ashinayan suddenly hesitated, because the inner valley was the place where the heavy treasure of the clan "Seven Nights Jade Lotus" grew, except for the clansmen of the Ashina family, even disciples with foreign surnames were not allowed to step in, let alone a person who was not even a disciple of the Ice and Snow Valley.

"Brother Ashina Yan is because of the 'Seven Nights Jade Lotus'? I can't hide it, the last time the nobleman's 'Seven Nights Jade Lotus' was stolen, it was done below. Xuan Qi didn't hide it, and told the truth, anyway, the "Seven Nights Jade Lotus" has been turned into "Jade Skin Growth", even if he says it, Ashinayan can't do anything with himself.

"You? Ashina Yan was suddenly furious, his fists clenched, although he knew that he was not Xuan Qi's opponent, but the theft of the "Seven Nights Jade Lotus" was a shame for the Ashina family, no matter what, as the actual patriarch of the Ashina family, how could he not get some face back!

"Brother Ashina Yan is a little restless, the reason why he needs the 'Seven Nights Jade Lotus' is also clear. Now I am willing to say it, I am willing to inherit the favor of the Ashina family, but in the future, if I need it, I will go all out. In addition, Zai Xia also hopes that Brother Ashina Yan can let Zai Xia enter the inner valley and do the final search, Brother Ashina Yan also doesn't want his father-killing enemy to escape because of this, right?"

Ashina Yan naturally knew that Xuan Qi said it, and he wanted to gain his trust, since Xuan Qi had already entered the inner valley, it would not be considered a violation of the rules of the ancestors to enter again, as long as he could find out the person with a wolf's heart and lungs, and avenge his father, it would be of great help to him to truly sit on the position of the patriarch of the Ashina family. Moreover, as the master of Xuanqi's "Xuanmen", the leader of the previous generation of the beggar gang, and the de facto controller of Ju Yanhai, and the former deputy marshal of the national soldiers and horses of the Celestial Empire, he is willing to be honest and promise a favor, which can be regarded as a good condition for the Ashina family.

And the most important thing is that Xuan Qi killed his four brothers, strictly speaking, it is equivalent to helping himself ascend to the position of patriarch. Although he has the revenge of killing his brother, what are these compared to the position of the patriarch?

"Yes, but you're the only one who can enter the Inner Valley. ”

"Thank you!"

Xuan Qi asked the people behind him to help surround the inner valley, but he and Ashina Yan began to enter the inner valley and searched carefully. With the completion of the search on the periphery of the inner valley, the whereabouts of the two were still not found, and Xuan Qi was also a little anxious. When he gradually approached the center of the inner valley, Xuan Qi suddenly felt a little strange, so he opened his mouth and asked Ashina Yan on the side: "Brother Ashina Yan, why did you come here without feeling the slightest heat, which is completely different from the last time you came?"

"To be honest, the waterhole will only emit heat within half a month before and after the 'Seven Nights Jade Lotus' blooms, and this strange phenomenon is incomprehensible even below. ”

"Oh!" Xuan Qi was stunned for a moment, and immediately thought of a possibility, "I thought of a place in the next place, or you can find Hua Yingchun and Li Mengyao." ”

"Where?"

"Brother Ashina Yan is coming with me. ”

The two continued to go deeper, the closer they got to the waterhole, the more they felt cool, and they came to their faces, making Xuan Qi also secretly sigh that this nature is really wonderful, and it will produce such a strange place, no wonder the "Seven Nights Jade Lotus" can only grow here, if it leaves here, I am afraid it will not survive.

The two slowly walked to the edge of the waterhole, and Xuan Qi vaguely saw a small ripple spreading out in the waterhole, and couldn't help laughing.

"Mr. Bai thinks the dog man and woman will hide in a waterhole?"

"There is a saying that the most dangerous place is the safest place. Brother Ashina Yan is a little restless, why don't you and I have a long talk by this pool?"

"Mr. Bai, don't be joking, how can you still be in the mood to talk now!"

"How about sitting still for a quarter of an hour?" After Xuan Qi finished speaking, he stopped caring about Ash Nayan, and sat down by the waterhole by himself, looking at the waterhole with his eyes. Although Ashina Yan was in a hurry, he had no choice but to sit down seven or four or five feet away.

Just as a quarter of an hour was about to pass, there were slight ripples on the water surface, and Xuan Qi no longer hesitated, and shot the two stones in his hand towards the pool.

"What are you doing?" Ashina Yan saw that Xuanqi actually shot into the pool with a stone, worried that it would hurt the plants of the "Seven Nights Jade Lotus" in the pool, and immediately asked loudly.

As soon as the words fell, I heard the sound of water in the pool, and two figures jumped out of the pool, bringing up splashes of water, and landed on the ground by the pool, but it was Hua Yingchun and Li Mengyao. Ashina Yan didn't expect that Xuan Qi really found the two of them, and with a wave of his hand, his own clansmen had already surrounded the waterhole.

"You're really here, pay for your lives!"

Hua Yingchun quickly let go of Ashinayan, who pounced on him, and said loudly: "Why did the senior brother attack the junior brother?"

"Don't call me senior brother, my Ashina family doesn't have a wolf-hearted disciple like you. ”

"Little brother really doesn't understand!"

"You killed my father, and you told me that you don't understand?

"'Jade Xuanjing'? the little brother has never learned it!"

Xuan Qi looked at Hua Yingchun coldly and was still quibbling, but said to Ashina Yan: "Brother Ashina Yan, there is no need to say much, force him to come out and the truth will be revealed." ”

"Thank you Mr. Bai for reminding me!" As soon as Ashinayan's voice fell, the internal force was already pouring into his hands, and the palms of his hands gradually turned black, and he slashed out towards the flowers and spring.
