In an instant, the face seemed to be pulled by a huge force and fell straight to the ground, the originally calm ground cracked inch by inch, and bright red blood flowed in the cracked ravine, and the surface of the blood was also shrouded in a layer of black smoke that appeared from time to time.

In the blink of an eye, the face was sucked in, and the ground shook before the ravines quickly closed together, as if nothing had ever happened here. However, what awaits Lord Yeh will be endless torment in the abyss of hell.

The blood mist gradually dissipated, and the smell of blood in the air slowly faded, but everyone present left an unforgettable memory in their hearts.

In the distance, the gray-clothed old man lay there motionless, his gray clothes and skin had been burned and tattered in the battle, and his chest had not risen or fallen, and it seemed that his soul had also been pulled into the abyss.

"Who the hell is he and why is he fighting for his life here. Xu Chen was still confused.

"Grandpa?" the boy was approaching the old man step by step, but not as eagerly as he had been before, perhaps he had realized what might be happening. He came to the old man's side, crouched down and looked at it carefully. The old man's eyes were closed, and his smiling face looked as if he had been granted, but the boy raised his hand but did not dare to touch it, he was afraid that his guess had come true.

A breeze swept by, and the old man's face slowly cracked, like the ground just now, but no blood oozed, and the gray clothes slowly collapsed, and in a moment the old man turned into powder all over the ground.

The boy stared blankly for a long time, and then fainted as soon as it was dark.

At this time, a black shadow came at a rapid speed under the reflection of the moonlight, and Xu Chen only glanced at it and ignored it, because he knew this person, it was his newly recognized master, Lu Yin.

Xu Chen stepped forward slowly, held the boy in his arms, glanced coldly at the shriveled gray clothes on the ground, then shook his head helplessly, and turned to leave.

That's what he said and did, because, he clearly felt that even if he made a move just now, the result would be the same, because with his strength at this time, he was not the opponent of those two old men at all.

In other words, even Lu Yin, who had already appeared on the side at this time, was not an opponent.

"What the hell is going on?"

Lu Yin glanced at the situation around him and asked softly.

Xu Chen wiped the dust off the boy's face, hesitated for a moment and said, "Master, I don't know, I just want to take a look at my mother's grave at night, who ......knows?"

As he spoke, he glanced at the boy in his arms, his face full of love.

Lu Yin's eyebrows were upside down, and a big Sichuan character was squeezed out of his forehead, "Then this kid is ......"

Xu Chen still shook his head.

Lu Yin nodded, and didn't ask anything anymore, but his cold and deep eyes kept observing his surroundings, which was his habit.

In this way, after Lu Yin and Xu Chen talked for a while, he followed Xu Chen through the cold cemetery and returned to Xu's mansion, after all, this boy had not woken up yet, and Lu Yin needed to observe it carefully.

Back in Xu Chen's room, Lu Yin probed with his spiritual sense, and said softly: "Cough, it's okay, it's just because of excessive fright and sadness that I fainted, and it's good to recuperate for two days." ”

Xu Chen just wanted to smile slightly, indicating that he heard it, but heard Lu Yin say with a little doubt: "However, this child's pulse is quite strange, I have never seen such a strange pulse in my life." ”

While speaking, Lu Yin also looked at the boy lying on Xu Chen's bed, "I'm afraid he has some problems with his heart, but I don't think it's because of today's incident, but because he has been like this since he was a child." ”

"That's it since childhood?"

Xu Chen also looked at the boy on the bed, "Master, what's the problem?"

Lu Yin shook his head slightly, slowly sat down at the round table, poured himself a glass of water and drank it by himself, obviously not out of sight.

"It's possible that he doesn't have a heart at all, and maybe there's something else in him, but I can't tell right now. ”

Xu Chen was slightly stunned, "Then how can I know?"

I saw Lu Yin smile slightly, "Just dig out his heart." ”

Hearing this, he hurriedly waved his hand, "Of course you can't." ”

After speaking, Xu Chen once again fell into deep thought.

He thought about everything today, what the White Bone Hall had to do with these people, and what this boy would have to do with him.

Because, he really heard the words of the old man in gray at that time.

"Fate?"

Xu Chen shook his head, it was definitely not that simple.

I don't know when, Lu Yin put down the teacup in his hand, stroked his beard and said softly: "Then, what do you want to do with this child?"

Hearing this, Xu Chen subconsciously took a look, the boy had clear eyebrows, but his face was pale, obviously suffering from a serious illness.

Thinking of the torture, Xu Chen unconsciously clenched his fists, he didn't know this boy, but he could deeply feel the pain of the other party, he didn't know the origin of the other party, but he had a feeling of being connected to the same fate.

What's more, the old man in gray also asked him to help raise this child, and said so sincerely and weirdly, "Master, I plan to take him." ”

"Take him with you?"

Lu Yin's eyes lit up suddenly, "Do you still want to take him to Wuxian Town?"

He was questioning, but it was clear that he was refusing.

Tonight, Lu Yin was in the mood to drink tea in the camp, listening to Chu Yang talk about what happened to the Xu family, and he even secretly gave a thumbs up to Xu Chen's performance, glad that he was lucky, after all, he didn't choose the wrong apprentice.

However, at this moment, he suddenly discovered some anomalies, so he quickly walked out of the camp tent regardless of Chu Yang's different eyes, and by the moonlight, he vaguely saw the blood mist in the sky.

It was a distance of dozens of miles, and ordinary people couldn't see it at all, but at that moment, he felt that something was wrong.

It was the frontier of the Empire, and, even more worrying, he had seen descriptions of these scenes in ancient books.

Lu Yin just sighed softly, "Demon Sect?", and then flew up, speeding at the fastest speed in his life, and then there was a story after that.

He was disappointed that he didn't see the scene during the battle, "I said, Xu Chen, I think you should leave him here, or, if you are afraid of causing trouble for your family, you can also entrust him to an ordinary family, you take it like this, isn't it?"

Xu Chen nodded slowly, "Master, I always feel that he has some kind of unknown connection with me, because I feel very kind at the first sight of him. ”

"Huh!"

Lu Yin sneered, "Yes, anyone who sees it will feel kind, this is human nature, when you see others suffering, you want to help." But what if it's someone else? You met him by chance. ”

Xu Chen still shook his head, "What if this is fate?"

"Life?"

Lu Yin pouted, "Your current life is to study the Fu Dao well, and carry forward the Feiyun Dao in the future, you know? ”

Xu Chen didn't answer, but slowly came to the window and sat down gently, looked at the boy's face, and smiled slightly.

"Hey, when are we leaving? The matter of Wuxian Town can't be delayed for too long. ”

Lu Yin warned.

After hesitating for a moment, Xu Chen said with a slight speculation: "Master, I always feel that this matter has something to do with Ximen Wang. ”

"Why do you say that?"

Lu Yin was very casual, and took another sip of tea from the teacup.

Xu Chen shook his head, "Of course, this is just speculation, because the two old men who just died are from Beiqiang." ”

"Huh?"

The cup that Lu Yin put on his lips suddenly stopped, calming down a little, "Really?"

After speaking, he smiled bitterly and nodded, because he knew that Xu Chen would naturally not believe it, "Is it?"

As he spoke, a map of the empire's territory instantly appeared in his mind, at this time, they were in Yong'an Town, and the northwest camp was due north, which was indeed not close according to the route.

However, that's just for the average person.

For cavalry, such a distance can be reached with a single surprise attack on the battlefield.

You must know that several great generals of the empire are guarding one side, and the northernmost part of the empire is the territory of the barbarians, which is naturally guarded by the most brave and warlike troops in An Boyuan.

The west side of the empire was guarded by Ximenwang's army, but his camp was located in the northwest, and it was not too far away from Anboyuan's camp.

All this stems from His Majesty's distrust of the soldiers, for fear that they will raise troops to rebel, so that they can be relatively close to each other, and can also play a role in checking and balancing each other.

Therefore, the deployment here in Yong'an Town is extremely weak, which is why Yong'an Town has become a relatively gathering place for merchants and cultivators from all over the world.

"yes, that's the loophole. ”

Lu Yin kept nodding, "Xu Chen, maybe you're right!"

Hearing this, Xu Chen looked at Lu Yin suspiciously, and said in his heart: "What I said, it's right." ”

Lu Yin laughed, still nodding his head, "Come to think of it, Beiqiang still doesn't trust Ximen Wang, although the two hook up with each other, but they don't trust each other so much, so maybe Beiqiang just wants to drive straight from here?"

"You think, it's the best choice to enter the empire here, although it's a little farther, but the location here is very good. First, if Ximenwang's negotiations with them were not successful in the end, or he turned his face, Ximenwang didn't want to help them, or something happened, then the empire would not have thought that Beiqiang had never wanted to attack the empire from here, which was definitely a surprise. ”

"Second, even if Ximenwang is determined to take refuge in Beiqiang, then Beiqiang's army and Ximenwang's rebels can still attack the empire in two ways, but they are still caught off guard, distracting the empire's attention and making it difficult to fight. Moreover, this place is far away from the troops in the southeast direction of Amber, and it is difficult to rush to help for a while, which is really a good move!"

Xu Chen was a little confused when he heard it, after all, he was not good at these military things at all, "Master, what did you say?"

"Huh!"

Lu Yin actually laughed, "Yes, that's the case, Xu Chen, let's not leave, it's here." ”

"Then, what about Simon Wang?"

Of course, Xu Chen wanted to stay here, but he also understood Lu Yin and Chu Yang's situation.

"I'm free to do it. ”

After speaking, Lu Yin got up suddenly, didn't say hello, left the room quickly, and then shot up into the sky like an arrow.
