After the four leaders of the Demon Cult left, Shen Hua couldn't help but bleed from the corner of his mouth. He was obviously injured. Just now, in order to make the four members of the Demon Cult retreat in fear, he just held on and didn't show it.

"Fellow Daoist Shen, are you okay?" The other four saw Shen Hua spitting blood, their faces changed slightly, and they immediately asked with concern.

"No problem!" Shen Hua said calmly. Although the corner of his mouth was bleeding, it was indeed a minor injury. He would be fine after a few days of recuperation.

"Since the people of the Demon Cult have retreated, let's all go back to the sect. Thank you again, fellow Daoists!" Shen Hua thanked again.

"Fellow Daoist Shen, take care of yourself. If you encounter an attack from the Demon Cult, you must notify them in time to avoid being attacked one by one by the Demon Cult!" The old man among the five said solemnly, and even took out the healing pill and gave it to Shen Hua.

Now they are evenly matched with the Demon Cult. If one of them is seriously injured or even killed by the Demon Cult, the balance will be broken instantly. At that time, I am afraid that none of them will be spared! Similarly, the people of the four major demon sects also had such concerns, so they did not choose to fight just now, but chose to retreat!

The five people returned to their own sects, turned into five rays of light and instantly went away in several directions.

Just one stick of incense later, Shen Hua's figure appeared again in this place that had originally calmed down!

He just sent a message to Li Xuanfeng, but did not get any response.

The divine consciousness carefully scanned the area around this place for thousands of miles, but did not find Li Xuanfeng's figure!

Finally, Shen Hua appeared at the cliff where Li Xuanfeng fell. After careful identification, he confirmed that this was the place where Li Xuanfeng's breath disappeared.

Coming to the surface of the deep pool under the cliff, looking at the turbulent river water, Shen Hua's eyes showed a trace of worry.

Li Xuanfeng's breath completely disappeared at the cliff. It should have fallen into the deep pool here and went to the bottom of the river with the river water. Because there is a huge waterfall above the deep pool, huge water flows continuously from a high place, and all the breath is washed away.

But he was already injured at this time, and could not follow the river to pursue Li Xuanfeng's whereabouts. If Cheng Ping of the Corpse Demon Sect appeared again, it would be really dangerous.

This river passes through the area where the Corpse Demon Sect is located. If Shen Hua uses his spiritual sense to search continuously, it will inevitably attract Cheng Ping's attention. If it were normal, Cheng Ping would still be afraid of him, but now that he is already injured, Cheng Ping will definitely seize the opportunity to seriously injure or even kill him!

Shen Hua had to temporarily return to the sect to heal his wounds.

"What happened?" Han Yue came out to ask Shen Hua as soon as he returned to Huayue Garden. And Shen Luoyan was beside him, with a trace of worry in her big eyes, she was worried that Li Xuanfeng was in danger.

When Shen Hua felt that Li Xuanfeng used a small sword and rushed over quickly, Han Yue had already sensed it. But Han Yue was only a spiritual infant, and her speed could not be compared with Shen Hua at all, so she could only wait for Shen Hua to return in the sect.

"Xuanfeng used the small sword I gave him. I rushed there immediately and found that he had killed all the disciples in a branch of the Corpse Demon Sect. Even the elders of the branch were killed by him using my sword energy!" Shen Hua explained.

"Then why didn't Xuanfeng come back with you?" Han Yue asked curiously.

Shen Hua had to tell the truth about the battle with Cheng Ping just now. Han Yue and Shen Luoyan were both worried.

This time Shen Luoyan was no longer as playful as usual. She was extremely worried and didn't know what to say.

"Don't worry, Xuanfeng's physical strength is very strong. Although he was seriously injured, he will recover soon. He didn't respond to my voice transmission because he was healing. I will take him back to the sect when I recover." Shen Hua took the initiative to comfort Han Yue and the others. In fact, he was also worried.

Han Yue and Shen Luoyan were relieved a little after hearing this, and had to wait for Shen Hua to recover.

Two thousand miles away from the Xuanling Sect, there was a relatively large village next to a river. There are plains and mountains next to the village. The villagers have many ways to make a living. They can fish in the river, grow crops on the plains, and hunt in the mountains. Their lives are quite rich.

At this time, by the river in the village, a thin boy in linen clothes sat quietly on a stone. He looked about fifteen or sixteen years old. He looked at the slowly flowing river with his eyes, but his eyes were not focused on the river surface, as if he was in a daze.

"Mute brother, are you in a daze by the river again?"

At this time, a boy who was a head shorter than this person ran over. His clothes were even more worn than the boy in linen clothes. He sat next to the boy in linen clothes without any hesitation, and shouted breathlessly.

"Mute brother, where are you from? Sister Xiaolan and her father said that they fished you out of the river." The boy asked to himself.

This scene was quite strange. A boy talked to a mute, and his interest was not affected by the mute's inability to speak.

"Brother Dumb, my name is Jiang Liu. I just turned twelve. Grandpa Jiang told me that I was a baby that floated down from upstream in a wooden basin. It was Grandpa Jiang who took me in. Because I floated down from the river, he named me Jiang Liu. Unfortunately, Grandpa Jiang also passed away three years ago." The boy talked about his life experience and Grandpa Jiang with a trace of sadness.

"We are really similar. We were both fished out of the river. We are helpless. If someone in the village bullies you in the future, come and tell me and I will help you deal with them." The boy rolled up his sleeves and said with a sense of righteousness.

However, his height and body shape did not seem to be stronger than the dumb one. Others would laugh when they saw his bratty appearance.

However, the mute did not. The mute was still looking at the river, as if nothing could change his expression, and it seemed that he didn't listen to the boy's words at all.

"Little mute, why are you running here again?

I was in a daze by the river. My father asked you to go to dinner, which made me look for you for a long time. "

At this moment, an eighteen-year-old woman came to the two of them, calling the mute and complaining.

"My father insisted on saving you. If he had known he would have let you drown in the river, it would have saved me the time to spend every day calling you to eat. For three days, I have done nothing but lock myself in the room and just come to the river to daze. No wonder people are thrown into the river!”

This woman was very disgusted with this mute. She was fishing in the river with her father when she saw a man floating down the river and rescued him on the boat. Unexpectedly, the man didn't say a word after waking up, so the woman called him mute.

I thought I could help him with the work by rescuing him, but I didn't expect that this man was not only mute, but also a very lazy mute. When he woke up, he would either be locked in a room alone or go to the river in a daze.

Even the mute often skipped meals, and would just shake his head and continue to be locked in the room, or continue to be in a daze by the river. It has been three days since I woke up, and I have only eaten twice, and I don’t know how I can survive.

"Sister Xiaolan, don't speak so harshly. The mute brother just recovered from a serious injury and hasn't recovered yet. He will be fine in a few days." Jiang Liu frowned when he heard the woman's words.

"You think my words are unpleasant, don't you? Then don't stay in my house!" the woman shouted, her voice full of disgust.

In her opinion, this little mute was full of weirdness, and he only ate and drank for free. She really couldn't stand it.

"You..." Jiang Liu was choked by Xiaolan's words for a moment and couldn't find any words to refute. After leaving Xiaolan's house, he had no place for the mute brother to stay.

The mute seemed helpless as he listened to the conversation between the two. He shook his head and continued to look at the river in front of him.

"I came to ask you to eat, but you didn't go on your own, so you can't blame me." Xiaolan saw the mute shook his head and didn't get up. After leaving these words, Xiaolan turned and left.

"Brother Mute, come and eat some steamed buns. I bought these at Aunt Wang's house this morning after catching a fish in the river yesterday and selling it." The young man Jiang Liu took out two steamed buns from his arms, as if they were offering treasures. He handed one to the mute, but the steamed bun was already so cold that it became hard!

Young Jiang Liu was originally an orphan. Since the death of his Grandpa Jiang, he has become even more helpless, with only a dilapidated thatched hut left by Grandpa Jiang.

Because he was naughty when he was a child and occasionally stole eggs from other people's hens, people in the village didn't like him very much. He could only make ends meet by catching fish and shrimps and doing farm work for others. Because he was often hungry, he was slightly thin.

But Jiang Liu is a cheerful young man who has not fallen because of his tragic life experience. After seeing the mute, I felt the same way, so I often chatted with him, helped him talk, and even gave him the little food I had.

"Thank you, I'm not hungry."

At this moment, the mute shook his head and suddenly opened his mouth to speak!
