At the edge of the three waterholes, where the fog was thicker than anywhere else, there were four young women dressed in lilac clothes, who had been forced to a short distance from the waterhole. About fifty zhang away from them, there were four male disciples in earthy yellow robes.

Among this group of male disciples, the person at the head has thick eyebrows and big eyes, a square face, and the whole person's body is very burly, it is the eldest disciple of the Chenyang Sect, Wu Hao.

"Senior brother, this place is really weird, otherwise, let's leave, those girls know that this place is so evil, and they dare to go here, obviously they don't want to die. ”

"Yes, senior brother, let's leave quickly, this is Mitsui Creek, I feel that since passing through the mountain bay behind, my whole person has been panicked, and some scenes that I have never seen have always flashed in my mind, and have you seen it, these fogs have begun to turn blue, and its toxicity is several times worse than yesterday. ”

Wu Hao heard the dissuasion of his fellow disciples behind him, his face was gloomy as water, of course he felt all these strange phenomena that came out of their mouths, but he couldn't see these female disciples of the White Crane Sword Village completely dead, he was a little uneasy. He hesitated for a moment before he whispered to the three fellow disciples behind him, "You all stay here and don't move, I'll go back and have a look." ”

When the three disciples behind him heard this, their faces were shocked and said, "Absolutely not, senior brother......

Wu Hao raised his hand to interrupt them to continue, but said: "Don't worry, I'll just go forward a little more, I won't get close to the three waterholes, it's really not good, I'll quit immediately." ”

As he spoke, he was already walking forward with his feet raised.

At this moment, the four female disciples of the White Crane Sword Village had completely come to the edge of the waterhole, and the Qingli woman who was the leader of their team looked back at the group of Chenyang Sect disciples behind her, and after seeing that Wu Hao finally caught up, she only had endless bitterness in her heart.

They came to this point, it was completely unavoidable, and Wu Hao's strength was much higher than them. In the end, as a senior sister, she gritted her silver teeth and said resolutely to the three peers around her: "There is no choice, if we want to escape Wu Hao's clutches, we can only swim through these three waterholes, otherwise we will all die." ”

Hearing this, the faces of the three women present were undoubtedly pale, and they were almost frightened after approaching this area, because in their minds, not only did all kinds of strange and terrifying scenes appear, but at the same time, they also felt that they were being repelled by a force from the waterhole, as if to prevent them from constantly approaching the three waterholes.

Hearing the senior sister say this, one of the four female disciples took the lead in standing up and said in a cold voice: "Since this is the case, then let me come first, I don't believe that these three waterholes can help me!" Without waiting for the other three to stop her, the woman walked towards the waterhole closest to them, and since she was already on the edge of the waterhole, she only walked a few steps before coming to the waterhole.

The female disciple looked at the pool of water in front of her, which was constantly emerging from the water like thick smoke, and suddenly felt that her body couldn't help but shiver, causing her entire delicate body to tremble slightly. It's impossible not to be afraid to swim through the waterhole in front of you, because it looks so weird. She opened her eyes and looked at the pool, but she couldn't see it to the end, it was green and secluded, like an ancient well, and the whole pool looked dead silent, there was no sign of the water surging in it, it was completely like a pool of silent stagnant water, and the most terrible thing was that these bursts of blue smoke coming out of the pool still had the fragrance of chime.

While smelling the fragrance, the female disciple looked at the faint image of herself reflected in the waterhole, and then gradually found that under the long-term gaze, her shadow became more and more real, so that she began to wonder whether she was herself in the waterhole or standing by the waterhole, which was the real self.

"Whoa!"

A huge splash of water stirred up from the pool.

When Senior Sister and the others opened their eyes, they saw that their fellow female disciple had finally jumped into the pool.

This female disciple opened her arms, but she was the only one who felt that at this moment, she seemed to have turned into a bird, and what was waiting for her in front of her was not the deep and turquoise silent pool, but a wide and boundless blue sky.

What she didn't know was that here, not only her, as long as anything fell into the pool, it could only make a gentle splash, and then the pool would return to silence again, and everything that entered the pool would be inexplicably lost, as if it had sunk to the bottom of the pool in an instant.

Seeing this unexpected scene, the three senior sisters who were quietly watching on the edge of the waterhole undoubtedly felt a little frightened by this, but before they could react too much, they saw a trace of movement in the middle of this waterhole.

On the calm water, there is a slight wrinkle.

Then, with the middle of the waterhole as the center of the circle, there were ripples that spread out in circles.

The ripples are getting denser and bigger.

The sound of the water flowing is like a flash torrent erupting.

They turned into rolling waves.

Immediately afterwards, this waterhole connected the two deep pools behind it, and it began to gush like a pot of boiling water.

Until a huge head rises slowly from the pool.

It has two huge eyes that are green all over.

Staring at these outsiders.

......

On the periphery of Mitsui Creek.

About a mile or so from the three waterholes, a young man in ragged clothes was recuperating, and on a boulder next to him lay a woman in the same costume as him, but in ten times better condition.

The woman is still in a coma at the moment, but even so, she can vaguely see from her pretty face that she has a beautiful face like a closed moon. And just about a quarter of an hour later, one of the woman's green jade fingers moved slightly, showing signs that she was about to wake up. However, Xu Yan, who was sitting cross-legged on the same boulder at the moment, did not know this, and he was completely immersed in recovering from his injuries.

It has been more than ten hours since he fled here from the very edge of Dengbei Mountain with Cai Zhenjing on his back, of course, this is not that Sanjing Creek is really so far away from Dengbei Mountain, but after nightfall, Xu Yan did not continue to rush overnight, because in this area, there is a trace of weirdness everywhere, even if it is him, he does not want to rush at night.

However, Xu Yan believes that not only he thinks so, but also Zhou Yu, who is chasing after him, must be the same.

"This time it's really over, the fog floating in the air has completely turned blue, Xu Yan, don't recuperate anymore, hurry up and open your eyes to see, you're going to kill me." ”

Hearing an urgent voice in his consciousness, Xu Yan, who had almost recovered from the injuries all over his body, finally opened his eyes slowly, he glanced at the mist floating above his head, and found that it had indeed turned blue. He sighed, and replied a little helplessly: "Xiaocai, don't be so shocked, I'm definitely not going to let you die in this ghost place with me, you can relax, as long as you wait until all the people who should come are here, I will take action to deal with them, and I will definitely take you out of here safely." ”

"How can I relax...... Do you know where you are now? This place is only a mile away from those three waterholes, and I might as well tell you, I can already feel a strong sense of crisis here, I think you should not wait here for those minions, just kill him. As long as you do your best and cooperate with me, I am 70% sure that I can catch them all. ”

"No, not yet, since you want to fish, you have to wait until all the big fish are in the net before you can close the net, you won't understand, Xiaocai, this is related to the rise and fall of the sect I am in, I can't be sloppy in the slightest. ”

"Then don't take me with you to take this risk, I'm innocent, and your human mind is too complicated, you know intrigue, for your own interests, you can do everything, alas, it seems that I really have to think about it seriously, whether I want to continue to cultivate according to the transformation technique you gave me, if one day, after I successfully transform into a shape, but find that I am as tired as you, then I don't want to." ”

Xu Yan couldn't help but cry and laugh when he heard her naïve thoughts at the moment, but he was actually envious in his heart, and he also understood that once upon a time, he, like Xiaocai, also had this kind of purity. But in the end, he still sighed and said, "Even if what you say now is true, have you ever thought that as long as you are still a spirit beast for a day, you will be coveted by human cultivators one day, don't you want to get out of this fate?"

"I think I must be thinking wow, otherwise why would I agree to be your spiritual pet, alas, in fact, I just complained to you casually, I am still looking forward to breaking through the seventh level, or even the eighth level, the ninth level, after all, if I can really reach that step one day, I will no longer be a colorful swallowing python." ”

Without waiting for Xu Yan to continue speaking, Xiao Cai suddenly said to him again: "Oh, the woman next to you seems to be waking up, alas, it's all her fault, if it weren't for her, you wouldn't have to run this way, Xu Yan, you have to be cautious." ”

When Xu Yan heard this, he couldn't help but laugh and scolded: "You have a lot of eyes!"

Cai Zhenjing slowly opened her eyes, like a butterfly gently fanning her soft wings, and then, she revealed her big watery eyes. She crawled up a little lazily, feeling that her head was still groggy, but it was much better now than the painful feeling she had before she fell unconscious.

Then, she turned her head for the first time and saw Xu Yan who was sitting next to her, and when she saw the other party looking at her calmly, she blushed slightly, but she actually knew very well in her heart that the other party was absolutely not mixed with any strange emotions other than calm, he was just looking.

"You've finally woken up, so take a breath and eat some dry food before they get here. ”

Hearing what the other party said, Cai Zhenjing had no objection, so she took out a dry baked cake and a water bag from the storage bag given to her by the other party, and then took a small bite and ate it. After a while, while eating, she suddenly said to Xu Yan: "Thank you for saving me twice, although we are not from the same family, and even mortal enemies, I still want to thank you." ”

When Xu Yan heard this, his face was still calm, but he nodded slightly to her and did not speak.

When Cai Zhenjing saw him like this, she didn't dare to be hypocritical anymore.

In fact, on this topic, she herself didn't know what to say, and the other party saved her as if she did it casually, not only without any purpose, but also without asking her to give anything in return. So, it wasn't until Cai Zhenjing finished eating a whole pancake that she asked, "By the way, where is this?"

Xu Yan replied briefly: "Mitsui Creek." ”

Hearing that it was this answer, Cai Zhenjing wanted to drink saliva to moisten his throat, but he couldn't help but stagnate.

Xu Yan saw a curious look flashing on her face, and took the lead in standing up, his eyes looked to the south, and explained in a leisurely tone: "After coming down from the stalagmite yesterday, I suffered a lot of injuries, and then in order to escape with you, I can only run this way, but you don't have to worry too much, there is still a distance of about a mile from the real Mitsui Creek, as long as you don't continue to get closer, there will be no big problems." ”

Cai Zhenjing's face was melancholy, she didn't know what to say, and she wanted to say something, but she knew it very well in her heart, obviously she was involved with him again. After she pondered for a while, she thought of what she was going to say, but she heard Xu Yan with a solemn face take the lead in saying to her: "They are here, you have not recovered your strength yet, and you don't have a sword, go and hide behind the stones, don't show your head until I call you out." ”

Cai Zhenjing didn't know who he was referring to by 'they', but after hearing the unquestionable tone of his words, she still honestly hid behind the boulder where they had rested together.

Half a quarter of an hour later.

Under Xu Yan's gaze, along the edge of this original name of 'Evil Creek', he saw a group of more than a dozen people hurrying over. And when they approached completely, and there were about five zhang or so to stop, Xu Yan said meaningfully to one of them: "Senior Brother Zhou, it seems that your identity is really not ordinary, why, at this time, you dare to be so blatantly confused with the disciples of Yunlan Sect, is this consciously eating me?"

Zhou Xian looked at him with a gloomy face, and said coldly: "The surname Xu, Hugh has to pretend in front of me, what about Qiu Yuanjin, let her come out together, I know she must be with you." ”

When Xu Yan heard this, he shook his head directly, and replied truthfully: "Senior Sister Qiu is not with me. ”

Zhou Xian didn't believe this, so he snorted coldly and said: "Yes, since you still want to pretend to be garlic, then after I kill you, I will find her out, I have heard, then Qiu Yuanjin admires you tightly, you can rest assured, after you die, I will treat her well for you, and then I will send her to Huangquan to accompany you as a husband and wife." ”

Xu Yan was expressionless, ignoring the other party's ridicule, but looked at the other person in Zhou Xian's group again, this person was different from everyone else, because he was wearing an earthy yellow robe, which was the clothing that only the disciples of the Chenyang Sect had.

Xu Yan looked at Yan Ziyi, with a hint of murderous intent in his tone, and said straight to the point: "I let you run away twice before, but this time I want to see where else you can escape." ”

Yan Ziyi heard the killing intent in Xu Yan's tone, and couldn't help but be shocked, but with more than a dozen sword cultivators around him, plus Zhou Yu standing in front of him, he didn't panic too much, he didn't believe it, even if this Xu Yan was a cultivator of the sword martial arts cultivator, he could really deal with so many people in the Zhou family with his own strength.

Yan Ziyi replied coldly: "Xu Yan, you are really a madman who speaks wildly, in front of so many of us, you still dare to make such nonsense." ”

After saying this, Yan Ziyi immediately said to Zhou Yu and Zhou Xian Chuanyin beside him: "Two, in order to prevent changes, let's hurry up, Xu Yan is cunning by nature, he dares to swear that he is waiting for us here, there must be something to rely on." ”

After Zhou Yu heard this, he didn't follow his wishes, but asked, "Brother Yan said before that Brother Wu is also here, what about the others, why didn't I see him?"

Yan Ziyi saw that the other party was still struggling with this problem, and couldn't help but scold in his heart, but his face did not change and replied: "Senior brother is naturally still in the front position, this Xu Yan is not stupid, he is stuck in the position here, deliberately not let us and the senior brother should be together, but as long as the second young man can repel him again and force him upstream, after turning the mountain bay in front of him, my senior brother and they will naturally be able to see us." ”

Seeing that Zhou Yu was still a little hesitant, Yan Ziyi struck while the iron was hot again, and said in a stern tone: "Second Shao, don't hesitate any longer, even if there is no senior brother of mine, with your strength, are you still not Xu Yan's opponent?"

When Zhou Yu heard this, his tone was immediately very dissatisfied: "When Xu Yan was on the stalagmite, he was beaten by me, how could he be my opponent." ”

"So what are you still struggling with?"

Hearing this, Zhou Yu turned his head to look at Yan Ziyi, and said slowly: "I just think, compared to us, how do I feel that Brother Yan seems to be more anxious than us to kill that Xu Yan, and just now Xu Yan said that Brother Yan escaped twice, doesn't Brother Yan plan to explain?"

Yan Zi recalled that the other party was so serious, and he also suspected himself, so he knew that if he didn't say something, he would definitely not be able to get through, and after he pondered for a while, he had to say the conflict with Xu Yan when he was at the tip of the yellow hair, and then briefly described the incident he had encountered Xu Yan in Dengbei Mountain with the other party, but after saying these things from his mouth, the part of him that fled in the wilderness was changed to retreat in defeat.

However, after hearing Yan Ziyi's explanation, Zhou Yu didn't say anything, but Zhou Xian, who was next to the two, immediately said coldly: "Sure enough, cousin Zhou Mi died at the hands of this surnamed Xu, and this guy also told Elder Sun at that time that his cousin died under the hoofs and claws of the spirit beast, good you Chen Qinghe, you dare to cover this surnamed Xu like this, I will definitely make you pay the price together." ”

Regarding Zhou Mi's death in Huangmaojian, Zhou Yu, as a descendant, naturally knew about it, but when Zhou Xian came back from the message, he did not clearly say that it was Xu Yan who did it, so the matter was put aside, but now, by coincidence, he heard Yan Ziyi tell the truth and truth of the whole thing, and in his heart, he couldn't help but hate it.

Compared with Yan Ziyi's statement that Wu Hao was in Sanjing Creek, Zhou Yu was suspicious, but he did not suspect the other party at all about Zhou Mi's killing, because he concluded that Yan Ziyi did not know that Zhou Mi would have a brotherly relationship with them, and naturally, the other party did not need to deliberately create a false story for this.

Therefore, Zhou Yu can basically be sure that this matter is true nine times out of ten.

And after learning the truth of this matter, Zhou Yu's eyes when he looked at Xu Yan again, there was undoubtedly a strong hatred-like killing intent. Zhou Xian may not care about Zhou Mi's life or death, but Zhou Yu, who grew up with him from childhood to adolescence, cares about the latter's life and death, because in some ways, in his heart, Zhou Mi, who is two years older than him, is actually more like his own brother than Zhou Xian.

So, in the next moment, on the bank of this evil stream, there was a young man in a blue robe, suddenly raising his sword and rushing forward.

Zhou Xian looked at this scene coldly, and the corners of his mouth were slightly curled.

Immediately afterwards, except for Yan Ziyi, who was a disciple of martial arts cultivation, including Zhou Xian, all the sword cultivators from the Zhou family followed one after another, and raised their swords to kill Xu Yan, who was quite a one-man man.
