That's What Villains Are Like

As the Southern Hunting Exercise approaches, divine rainbows can be seen descending in the mountains outside the imperial capital every day, followed by huge and ancient warships.

The generals from all sides rushed back with their mighty armies and stationed them everywhere with an astonishing momentum.

In the imperial capital, the scene was unprecedentedly grand, with crowds of people everywhere, and the number of monks and souls coming and going was far greater than before.

On the wide long street, groups of soldiers wearing dark copper-colored armor can be seen at any time, patrolling and clashing with each other, responsible for the order of this period of time.

During the Southern Hunting exercise, there was a solemn atmosphere of everyone in the imperial capital. No one dared to violate the rules in the imperial capital. Even the aloof and carefree immortal sects from all directions also abided by the rules and rested in their respective stations every day. Dare to make trouble.

In the Chengming Hall, after receiving some important guests from Xiling Prefecture, Emperor Xia rubbed his brows tiredly, then picked up some letters on the slips in front of him and started to read them.

"How are things going in the forbidden palaces these days?" she asked seemingly casually.

"Back to Your Majesty, there are heavy troops guarding all the places outside the Forbidden Palace. General Zhengbei, General Longqi, General Weiguo, the left and right captains of the Duwei Mansion, etc. have all sent many experts to guard them in the dark, guarding them layer by layer. There is a post at ten steps and a sentry at five steps, it is unbreakable." Chunlan said respectfully.

The four forbidden halls deep in the palace are the Changsheng Hall, Ningxian Hall, Zhaohua Hall, and Chenlin Hall.

Each forbidden palace has an extraordinary significance. It is densely covered with forbidden formations and displays many precious objects of the royal family. Deep in the Zhaohua Palace, it is connected to the treasury and contains many treasures and divine objects.

Emperor Xia nodded slightly. After learning about the Blood Immortal Cult's plans for the national weapon Zhenlong Seal, she followed the decision made after discussing with Jiang Lan that day and sent heavy troops to guard the four forbidden palaces.

The National Instrument Town Dragon Seal is enshrined in one of the forbidden halls.

The reason why heavy troops were sent to guard the four forbidden palaces was not only to fool the outside world, but also to clean up the people around them.

In the four forbidden palaces, she has placed similar Taoist artifacts filled with national destiny dragon energy. Unless the news is leaked in advance, it is impossible for the Blood Immortal Sect to use secret methods or rare treasures to detect which forbidden palace contains the national artifacts. Dragon Seal.

In this way, it can also weaken and disperse most of the forces sent by the Blood Immortal Sect to fight for the national weapon.

The most important thing is that it can help her distinguish and judge which of the people around her can be trusted.

The general of Zhengbei, named Xiao Ye, was the eldest son of Xiao He, the king of Zhenbei.

The Dragon Cavalry General's name is Xiao Fu, and he is Xiao He's second son.

Both of them are responsible for guarding the Palace of Eternal Life.

General Weiguo was a general who was promoted step by step from the military camp by Emperor Xia himself. He had no aristocratic family to rely on, and no lineage disputes.

He has been leading troops and fighting in the wild borderlands all year round. He is brave and resourceful. This time, he was summoned back to the imperial capital by Emperor Xia to be responsible for guarding the Ningxian Palace.

The right captain of the Duwei Mansion is Situ Ying, the son of Duke Zhongguo. He is also one of Emperor Xia's confidants and is responsible for guarding the Zhaohua Palace.

Captain Zuo of the Duwei Mansion is named Chongwu. He is from the lineage of Emperor Xia's uncle, Prince Chong'an. He can also be called her current confidant and is responsible for guarding Chenlin Palace.

These generals have great strength and have been fighting for years. It is difficult for the monks in the same realm to go back and forth in their hands. Logically speaking, Emperor Xia would be very relieved if he handed over the guarding of the Four Forbidden Palaces to them.

But... this time the Blood Immortal Sect took such a huge risk and wanted to snatch the Great Xia national weapon Zhenlong Seal during the Southern Hunting Exercise, so they must have something to rely on.

Therefore, Emperor Xia felt a little uneasy.

While he was thinking about it, a eunuch came forward to report and said, "Your Majesty, Duke Zhongguo wants to see you."

"Xuan." Emperor Xia put down the letter in his hand and said calmly.

Soon, an octogenarian man with a high crown and a scholarly face came up under the leadership of a eunuch. His robes were embroidered with patterns such as red luan and auspicious animals, with gold seals and purple ribbons. He was supervising and leading the officials. He was Zhongguo. male.

"Old minister, I see your Majesty." Duke Zhongguo stood still in the palace and bowed slightly.

Emperor Xia looked at him, nodded slightly, and all the maids and eunuchs all retreated in understanding.

"Prince Lao Zhong has put a lot of thought into guarding the national weapons this time."

"The Blood Immortal Sect is really rampant and plotting national weapons. They don't take Daxia seriously at all. This southern hunting exercise is a top priority for Daxia, and there is no room for any unexpected mistakes."

Emperor Xia said that she still respected this veteran of two dynasties. When she was young, it was Duke Zhongguo who stood up in the court and rescued her many times.

Duke Zhongguo cupped his hands and said, "Your Majesty, don't worry. Although I am old, you will definitely live up to your Majesty's high expectations when you entrust me with such an important task."

"As for Ying'er, I have already warned him that nothing will go wrong."

Emperor Xia nodded slightly.

Whether it was Zhenbei King Xiao He, Chong'an County King, or Lord Zhongguo in front of her, she summoned them all alone and informed them about guarding the Four Forbidden Palaces.

For everyone, she said the same thing, telling them that the palace they were responsible for enshrined the real national artifacts, and the other palaces were all decoys, so that they should not be careless, and at the same time, they should not tell them. anyone.

She wanted to take this opportunity to set up a trap and catch all the people from the Blood Fairy Cult.

Of course, only she knows where the National Instrument Town Dragon Seal is.

This was done to deceive others and let people know that she had transferred the national weapon, but only she knew where she had placed it.

Although the process of using the national weapon to suppress the Dragon Seal is very complicated, no one can be sure whether Emperor Xia secretly skipped those processes and changed the location of the national weapon...

After all, this can be regarded as a matter of urgency.

The fictitious and real situation can also better cover up people's eyes and ears. Even if the Blood Immortal Sect used various means in advance to bribe some maids and eunuchs in the palace, they determined in advance the location of the national weapon Zhenlong Seal, and knew the location of the imperial palace. What strong men are there to guard you?

But facing her approach, we could only think of new strategies.

Of course, after doing this, the Blood Immortal Sect will definitely find ways to investigate the situation in the four forbidden palaces. In this way, they will inevitably come into contact with King Zhenbei, Duke Zhongguo and others. When there is a problem in any forbidden palace, they will be able to follow the clues. Take the opportunity to find out where the traitors and insiders are, and clean up everyone around you.

Doing so also involves great risks, because the national weapon Zhenlong Seal is indeed enshrined in one of the four forbidden halls.

If there were no traitors or insiders, the situation should be that all four palaces were attacked at the same time...

After Duke Zhongguo withdrew, a middle-aged man with a handsome face and a five-clawed python robe came to the main hall not long after. He had a square face, broad forehead, thick eyebrows and big eyes, and was extremely heroic.

If you look closely, you will find that his eyebrows are vaguely similar to Emperor Xia's, with a kingly air.

The person who came was the Prince of Chong'an County, named Chongzheng, who was also the nominal uncle of Emperor Xia.

Emperor Xia's attitude towards Chong'an County Prince was obviously much closer. He asked the maid next to him to give him a seat, and then told her some of her plans this time. Of course, he was also flawless and did not reveal too much about her. Real planning.

"Don't worry, Your Majesty, Chongwu has almost broken through the Seventh Realm in recent times. In order to ensure the success of guarding the Chenlin Palace, I will hand over the Seven-Star Guillotine Dragon Sword to him when the time comes..." Chongzheng said with a serious face and cupped his hands. .

The Seven Star Guillotine Dragon Sword was a gift from the late Emperor. It is an extremely precious high-grade Taoist weapon. It contains nine traces of the Dao. It can also mobilize and gather dragon energy, and when used, it has the power of guillotine dragon slaying a dragon.

…

Zhenbei Palace.

In the pavilion, there is a table full of sumptuous banquet dishes, the aroma is tempting, and many maids are waiting beside it.

Xiao He, the king of Zhenbei, had a face full of joy and comfort. He and his three children were drinking and talking at the same time. His slightly bronze face was even more flushed at this moment, and he was obviously in high spirits.

His eldest son Xiao Ye has a very similar face to him, with a broad forehead and square face, and is a full head taller than Xiao Teng.

Even at the dinner table, he was still wearing bronze armor, and his belt was like a vicious snake entwining itself, with a sinister aura.

The second son, Xiao Wan, also has a fierce face, a powerful aura that comes like a mountain, a wolf looking at evil spirits, the power of thunder, and his arms and waist are several times larger than ordinary people.

On the contrary, the third son, Xiao Teng, is a little smaller than the two elder brothers, and his face is much more delicate. His facial features are straight and fair. To the outside world, it is impossible to imagine that the three of them are brothers.

It’s no wonder that many people have doubted over the years whether Xiao Teng is the biological son of Zhenbei King Xiao He. After all, his appearance is nothing like it...

In this regard, Xiao He would explain it at the beginning, but later on, he had no intention of explaining it at all, and seemed to not care about all kinds of speculations and discussions.

The two elder brothers loved their younger brother Xiao Teng very much, and did not treat him with contempt or alienation because of many rumors.

In these years, the two of them have been guarding the border areas and rarely return to the imperial capital, spending less time together and more time apart.

For this southern hunting exercise, Emperor Xia personally ordered the two of them to be brought back, and then there was a scene of a family of three reunited.

Xiao Teng's injuries suffered in the Qianyuan Mansion have improved a lot at this moment. For the Zhenbei Palace, there is no shortage of all kinds of natural materials and treasures, not to mention the Imperial Physician's Office who was personally called by His Majesty Emperor Xia. Doctors are responsible for healing.

Xiao Teng's broken legs that day were repaired shortly after leaving Qianyuan Mansion. He was able to walk on the ground in less than half a day. Now it seems that there is no problem.

"Then Jiang Lan is indeed too arrogant. Although I am guarding the border, I have heard all kinds of news related to him all year round. It has made the imperial capital restless and angry. If the Prime Minister had not protected him, his behavior would have been punished long ago. Those who couldn't stand it took revenge..."

"Third brother, don't be too discouraged. Your cultivation strength is far better than that of Jiang Lan. He only relied on his good family background and many masters to defeat you in Qianyuan Mansion." Xiao Ye took a gulp of wine and poured out the glass. Put it down and comfort Xiao Teng.

"Brother is right, but Jiang Lan has humiliated me many times. I will seek revenge from him sooner or later. Unless I break his legs and smash him to pieces, it will be difficult to eliminate the hatred in my heart." Xiao Teng looked at Revealing coldness and hatred.

"The Xiangguofu family has a great cause and great power. At present, it is almost impossible for you to take revenge on Jiang Lan. Unless one day the Xiangguofu falls and he has no backer, but at that time, it is estimated that it will not be your turn to take revenge. How many people I don’t know how much I hate him.”

"Just this time in the Qianyuan Mansion, how many young dignitaries has he offended?" Xiao Wan, who was on the side, reached out and patted Xiao Teng's shoulder and sighed.

Although they had just returned to the imperial capital not long ago, they also knew about the grudge between Xiao Teng and Jiang Lan.

Not to mention the matter of the Xie family and Xie Jianjia, it was this time of the Qianyuan Mansion dispute. Jiang Lan humiliated Xiao Teng in this way in front of the ministers and guests of various immortal sects, which was already an irresolvable mortal feud.

"I finally came back once, so I won't talk about this anymore. A gentleman's revenge is never too late in ten years."

Xiao He, the king of Zhenbei, was in high spirits. Seeing that the three of them were talking about the Prime Minister's Mansion and Jiang Lan, his face suddenly became unhappy and felt unlucky.

Xiao Ye, Xiao Wan, and Xiao Teng hurriedly stopped the topic so as not to offend their father, and then brought up other things.

For example, what he saw and experienced in the border land, as well as his progress and gains in cultivation, etc. Xiao Teng also talked about how he almost mobilized the power of the stars in the Qianyuan Mansion.

Soon, the wine table was filled with a lot of laughter, and it was late at night. The smell of alcohol in the pavilion was extremely strong, and several people were drunk.

"His Majesty, Emperor Xia, appreciates me so much in the Xiao Mansion. He has entrusted me with an important task this time. Ye'er and Wong'er, you two, don't let your father down."

"When you return to the palace to guard, don't let your guard down in any way."

Xiao He was obviously a little drunk at this time and planned to get up and go back to his room to rest, but he still warned him specifically.

"Father, don't worry. When it comes to guarding the Palace of Eternal Life and protecting the national weapons, with my eldest brother and I here, there will definitely be no problems." Xiao Ye and Xiao Wan immediately responded with solemn expressions on their faces.

When the three of them talked about this matter, Xiao Teng did not shy away from Xiao Teng and trusted him very much.

Xiao Teng had also learned about some of Emperor Xia's plans this time from his father and two brothers, and he was very shocked.

However, he also understood the importance of this kind of thing, but he just kept it secretly in his heart and did not dare to disclose it to anyone easily.

Once this kind of plan is leaked at all, the consequences will be unimaginable.

In the imperial capital, there was an undercurrent, and the atmosphere became more solemn and depressing.

The mountains outside are filled with a murderous, black army. They are distributed among the mountains. They are either carrying heavy armor and long swords, or they are wearing armor and riding ferocious beasts. They are full of murderous intent. In the sky, there are also free riders passing by from time to time. , touring various places.

The generals who rushed back from the border areas led the armies and stationed themselves in the surrounding areas. During this period, many masters had arrived and were using secret treasures to start the southern hunting exercise location, Qianyuan Cave.

Compared with the Qianyuan Cave Realm, the Qianyuan Mansion is dwarfed by the giant. Its vastness and boundless territory are completely incomparable. The scope of ten Qianyuan Mansion is not comparable to the scope of one Qianyuan Cave Realm.

The vast breath of the world emerges in the depths of the sky, and even the marginal barriers become transparent. With the divine light rising into the sky, it turns into spiderweb-like mysterious runes, covering all directions, making the scenes inside endless. become clear.

There is a luminous world in it that is constantly manifesting and wants to be connected with the current world.

There are already many soldiers and horses and support around the Qianyuan Cave Realm. The space between them is blocked by powerful formations. It is almost impossible for the monks to control the rainbow and fly.

The official roads running through the surrounding areas were even more tightly sealed. Dragon flags were hung on the cliffs, and experts loomed, making it very lively.

The void roared, and one prison car after another made of special metals pulled the death row prisoners who had committed heinous crimes one after another. They came out of the prison and various prisons, and were sent to specific locations. The goal of this southern hunting exercise.

…

When the lanterns are lit, the moon shines like water.

In the small house near Linshui Xuan, Song Youwei and Jiang Lan sat across from each other. On the wooden table in front of them, there were many candied fruits and melons. Several bottles of preserved wine had been opened beside them. The aroma was tantalizing and fragrant. Honest.

Song Youwei's porcelain-like plain and smooth face had a slight blush, obviously she had drank a lot with Jiang Lan.

Jiang Lan, on the other hand, still looked calm, just gently swaying the wine in the white porcelain wine glass, looking at the crystal clear liquid in it with a deep look.

Taking advantage of tonight's gathering, Song Youwei has given him the many layouts of the Blood Immortal Sect during this period, the corresponding internal agents, as well as the list of which families, aristocratic families, and sects have internal agents.

Of course, Song Youwei only knew part of it and could not fully find out.

"It seems that the penetration of the Blood Immortal Sect is much deeper than I imagined. Judging from this, even if I don't take action, the Suppressing Dragon Seal may not be able to be defended."

Various thoughts passed through Jiang Lan's mind.

Song Youwei looked at him and said, "However, Emperor Xia has mobilized many people and generals in the past few days to go to the forbidden area of ​​the palace. He has obviously made preparations. The plan of the Blood Immortal Sect should have been known to him. For this reason, the elders, We are also changing our countermeasures and planning to use another approach.”

"According to the previous countermeasures, it is indeed impossible to seize the Zhenlong Seal."

"It's just the location of the Zhenlong Seal. If the Blood Immortal Sect doesn't find out in advance, this operation will only result in the complete annihilation of the entire army." Jiang Lan nodded.

Song Youwei looked indifferent to the situation and said with a smile, "Anyway, I won't take any risks then. The battle for the Dragon Seal is also left to those elders, and I can't participate in it due to my strength."

In any case, she is only a member of the younger generation. No matter how talented she is, her strength is ultimately not as good as that of the older generation.

She couldn't get involved in things like Zhenlong Xi, let alone take risks.

"Is the Blood Immortal Sect currently making any progress regarding the location of the Zhenlong Seal?" Jiang Lan asked.

Song Youwei shook her head and said, "Many elders are also in a headache. They don't know how the news was leaked before. Several strongholds have been raided, causing the plan to be exposed..."

Jiang Lan looked at her, thought about it, and then asked with concern, "They didn't suspect you, did they?"

Song Youwei shook her head and said, "No, no matter how suspicious you are of this kind of thing, you can't doubt it on me. At most, it's speculation, who leaked the news, which led to the exposure of several strongholds in succession."

Having said this, she looked at Jiang Lan with interest, as if she was surprised that he suddenly cared about her.

"That's good. Next, you can ask several elders of the Blood Immortal Sect to take the initiative to contact Prince Chong'an."

"As for the reasons and excuses, you can just come up with one yourself. Prince Chong'an will give the Blood Immortal Sect a surprise." Jiang Lan drank all the wine in the glass as if he didn't notice her gaze.

Hearing this, Song Youwei became even more surprised.

The Prince of Chong'an County is the uncle of the current Xia Emperor. Judging from Jiang Lan's words, it seems that he also has a problem?

It's just that she didn't ask any more questions about this kind of words.

The longer she stayed in contact with Jiang Lan, the more she found that his secrets were difficult to fathom. He seemed to know almost everything, and no secret could be hidden from him.

"I see."

Song Youwei didn't stay long.

After she left, Jiang Lan retracted his gaze out of the window.

Chongzheng, the prince of Chong'an County, was equally ambitious in the original plot. Although he was Emperor Xia's uncle, he also coveted that position, but he concealed this very well.

By making good use of this, Prince Chong'an can also become his pawn.

Among the people Emperor Xia currently trusts most is the Prince of Chong'an County.

"It's time for Ye Shiyan to take action..."

"If you wait any longer, once the situation is settled, it will be too late to take action later." Jiang Lan looked darkly, took out the jade communication talisman, thought for a while, and sent a message.

During this period, he asked Ye Shiyan to keep in touch with Xiao Teng, and he had vaguely found out some of Xiao Teng's situation, and knew that he had some understanding of some of Emperor Xia's plans this time.

And this is exactly what Jiang Lan wants.

If Xiao Teng didn't know anything about this, then he could only change his approach.

Looking at the sparkling lake, deep in Jiang Lan's eyes, blood-colored light surged, and in the darkness behind him, a blood-colored light disappeared silently.

He closed his eyes, and the fluctuations of the Fate Fruit quickly spread out, like an invisible ripple, sweeping through the entire Yuxianfang.

Now, with his strength, he can easily detect the fluctuating aura of life within a radius of hundreds of miles.

After confirming that there was no threat to detect his presence in Yuxianfang, when Jiang Lan took a step, his figure turned into a misty and hard-to-find blue smoke and disappeared in an instant.

At this moment, in the east of the imperial capital, in a private room where guests live.

Xiao Teng, who was having a banquet and chatting with "Zhang Yuan", Liu Xue and other disciples of Yijian Palace, as well as many young disciples, suddenly felt something. He looked happy and took out the jade communication charm from his arms.

"Looking at Brother Xiao's appearance, it must be that girl contacting you again..."

Ye Ming sat aside, drinking wine. He seemed to be used to this scene and smiled.

The fact that Miss Xie Jianjia of the Xie Mansion was kidnapped on her way to the Canglan Sword Sect caused an uproar in the imperial capital, and he naturally knew about it.

Afterwards, Xie Jianjia disappeared without a trace. It is unknown where she was taken. Many people speculated that the Prime Minister's Office succeeded...

But judging from the current situation, Xiao Teng should be in hiding and came to a golden house to hide his beauty.

During this period of time, Ye Ming could often see Xiao Teng communicating with the other party through the Jade Talisman. The smile and joy on his face could not be concealed at all.

Anyone with eyes can guess what is going on.

"Yes, looking at Brother Xiao's expression, he is probably urging him to return home quickly and stop messing around outside."

Several other Yi Sword Palace disciples and young disciples started joking after seeing this.

Xiao Teng smiled, and without further explanation to them, he scanned the contents of the summons jade talisman. The smile and joy on his face became even thicker, and he couldn't even hide it.

During this period, Xie Jianjia contacted him more proactively and frequently than ever before.

Especially after learning that he was injured, the concern for him, even if it was just through the jade talisman, was almost overflowing, which made Xiao Teng feel warm and moved in his heart.

And tonight, what made him even more unexpected was that Xie Jianjia actually wanted to see him because she missed him too much and was worried about his injury...

In order to gain her attention, Xiao Teng did not explain that his injury had completely healed.

He really didn't expect that because of his injury, he could get such an unexpected surprise.

Therefore, Xiao Teng naturally wanted to meet Xie Jianjia's request.

"I'm sorry, fellow Taoists, something suddenly happened in my house. I need to say goodbye first and leave." At that moment, Xiao Teng smiled all over his face, received the jade charm of communication, and stood up to leave.

Everyone had already expected this situation, so they didn't leave him alone and got up to see him off.

Ye Ming was not in the mood to talk and drink with the rest of the people here, so he left shortly after Xiao Teng left.

Many disciples of Yijian Palace have become disciples of Zhenbei Palace.

Although he had a good relationship with Xiao Teng, he did not want to serve as his disciple, so the two of them considered their friendship as peers.

Therefore, he came to these several gatherings and banquets just for Xiao Teng's sake.

"The Southern Hunting Exercise is already the day after tomorrow. The Imperial City has been very calm these days, but the calmer it is, the more we can see that the mountain rain hidden before the storm is about to come..."

Walking on the broad street, Ye Ming felt that it was much quieter and cleaner than before, and there were many fewer monks.

After experiencing the Qianyuan Mansion battle, more and more people in the imperial capital paid attention to him.

So although he was still living in the original inn on the surface, he had actually found a place to live in another quiet courtyard, so that he would be less disturbed by others.

Not many people know where he currently lives, only Xiao Teng and a few trustworthy people, so Ye Ming has rarely been at peace these days, and almost no one comes to trouble him.

After passing through the empty and peaceful street, Ye Ming walked towards the entrance of an alley. Deep in the alley was the mansion where he lived temporarily during this period.

"Be careful, there is an aura following you..."

However, when Ye Ming suddenly entered the alley, the old ghost's slightly surprised and shocking voice rang in his mind.

At the same time, Ye Ming himself noticed it. His face changed slightly, his eyes darkened, and he looked at the source of the breath.

Above the wall, the moonlight was hazy, as if a hazy mist was rising.

A slender, fuzzy figure in white stood there quietly, with indifferent and calm eyes, looking down at him, with a terrifying aura that made his heart palpitate.

He couldn't see his face clearly, he just felt like it was covered by fog.

"Run away."

Before Ye Ming had time to react, the old ghost's slightly anxious reminder sounded in his mind again.

Boom! ! !

The void suddenly shook violently, and the terrifying spiritual energy of heaven and earth gathered together, seemed to be pulled, and turned into a terrifying palm, slapping towards him.

The noise was obviously huge, but the entire alley seemed to have fallen into dead silence, without any waves coming out.

Ye Ming hurriedly wanted to resist, but for some reason he felt that the passage of time around him seemed to slow down.

His movements seemed to be stuck in the mud, very slow, and even his thoughts became much stagnant.

He was horrified. He never expected to encounter such a terrible method. Could this be the realm of time?

puff……

The resisting posture froze for a moment.

The big spiritual hand struck down instantly and covered Ye Ming's body. His body was shaken immediately, as if he was hit by a huge mountain. He flew out immediately, blood spurted out from his mouth, and his ribs were broken. How many roots.

At the critical moment, Ye Ming activated a soul secret treasure, and the cold snow-like breath covered it, making his slow thinking become much clearer.

His face was horrified and horrified. He immediately swallowed a few pills, then stood up and ran away without hesitation.

At this time, no patrol guards were alerted, which is simply incredible.

It was enough to show that the other party had completely covered up his aura and fluctuations. If he tried to kill him with all his strength, he might not even have a chance to escape.

"Who is this? Why did he suddenly attack me? Why is this breath vaguely familiar?"

"Could it be Jiang Lan?"

Ye Ming's face was ugly, he was shocked and angry, and couldn't figure it out at all.

He hurriedly fled deeper into the alley, but just as he tried to take flight, a majestic and terrifying breath fell from the sky, as thick as ten thousand uniforms, and seemed to be able to collapse the void.

At this moment, he could see clearly that it was a wisp of matter that looked like black and yellow mother energy, wrapped in something like a token, floating there, about the size of a fist, and falling directly towards him.

Terrifying cracks appeared in the void all around. If he were to fall down, he would definitely turn into a pool of blood, mist and flesh.

"Jiang Lan..."

Ye Ming recognized that this was the black and yellow maternal energy that he had elicited in Qianyuan Mansion that day. His expression was extremely ugly, his teeth were clenched and his fists were clicking.

But at this moment, he didn't have much time to think. It hurt him so much that he used a jade pill that looked a little rotten but was filled with the aura of Buddha nature. The moment he crushed it, an inexplicable light enveloped him. .

At the same time, the wisp of black and yellow maternal energy fell down and landed on him with a pop. The blood mist exploded, and all the aura in this place disappeared instantly.

"This injury is enough for him to recuperate for a while..."

Watching Ye Ming activate the Jade Buddha Pill to escape, Jiang Lan's figure slowly drifted down, and then the Tongtian Monument turned into a stream of light and returned to his body.

With a wave of his hand, all the breath and traces here were instantly eliminated.

For him, there is no benefit in killing Ye Ming at the moment, so he just takes action to seriously injure him. He needs Ye Ming to be unable to show up for a while.

At the same time, on the other side, in the Osmanthus Garden.

Smelling the familiar smell of sweet-scented osmanthus again, Xiao Teng came to the garden with a smile on his face and took the familiar route. He passed through several arches and walked through the pavilions and corridors. Finally, in the inner courtyard, he saw the beautiful figure he had been thinking about day and night.

Xie Jianjia was sitting in the pavilion, seemingly waiting for his arrival. Her flawless white and slender hands were making tea.

She looked a little thin, wearing a light yellow Yunyan palace satin dress with an aqua belt, which was outlined around her waist, making her figure appear slimmer and slimmer.

On the delicate face, the eyebrows are picturesque, lightly powdered, showing a cool and graceful look. The black hair is casually pulled into a bun, with a textureless hosta pinned to it. The snow-stained neck is slender and elegant.

"Jianjia..." Xiao Teng walked over quickly, with a smile and excitement on his face.

Ye Shiyan pursed her lips and smiled, and said gently and gently, "Brother Xiao Teng, long time no see."

"However, I see that your legs and feet are quite nimble. It seems that you are already well. You made me worry in vain."

Xiao Teng smiled honestly, feeling a little embarrassed when her lie was directly exposed. Then he sat down opposite her and said, "It's not because I came to see you. This injury will be healed immediately."

Ye Shiyan rolled her eyes at him and said, "Brother Xiao Teng, when did you learn such a glib tone? It makes me worry in vain."

Seeing her frown and smile, Xiao Teng felt tender in his heart and said with a smile, "I am very happy to be cared about so much by you, Jianjia."

"Brother Xiao Teng drinks tea..."

Ye Shiyan lowered her eyes, seeming a little uncomfortable looking directly at his hot gaze, and handed over the tea in front of her.

Xiao Teng drank tea and gradually relaxed, and then began to talk to her, expressing his heartfelt thoughts and thoughts.

Ye Shiyan listened to his words with a gentle smile on her face, echoing and praising him from time to time, which made Xiao Teng even more elated.

Then, she also took the opportunity to ask about the things she asked Xiao Teng to help with before.

"I don't have any clues about the Spirit Turtle Divination Armor. I can only wait and see if Master, who is knowledgeable and knowledgeable, can know anything."

"The Southern Hunting Exercise is about to take place, and I don't want to ask Master to see him. I can only wait until this matter is over and see if I can ask Master to help me find him." Xiao Teng replied seriously.

The master he spoke of was naturally the national master Ge Qixing.

"That's great, thank you brother Xiao Teng." A happy smile suddenly appeared on Ye Shiyan's face.

Xiao Teng saw that she was happy that he could help, and his heart was full of accomplishment and comfort, and he was about to ask her about her situation during this period.

An inexplicable cold aura suddenly came from the courtyard, causing his complexion to change, and at the same time, a warning came from the Pohu Divine Eye.

"who?"

Xiao Teng turned to look, and the smile in his eyes faded, becoming solemn and cold.

Ye Shiyan still seemed a little confused, his face was full of confusion and confusion.

"What's wrong, brother Xiao Teng..." she asked aloud.

Xiao Teng's mind suddenly tumbled, and he vaguely guessed something. He glanced around and shouted, "Who? Get out and hide, what's the point?"

"hehe……"

"He's quite alert, he can even detect this."

A slightly ethereal cold laughter sounded not far in front of Xiao Teng.

His eyes turned cold, his figure flashed, he waved his fist and smashed it.

However, the expected huge movement did not come. His punch seemed to be blocked by some inexplicable aura, and even failed to land.

Xiao Teng's heart was shocked, and the next moment he saw a figure with a blurred face, seemingly surrounded by blood, appearing in front of him.

Alarm suddenly rose in his heart. On his fist, the runes flickered, and there were faint stars gathering. The power of this punch was even more amazing, like thunder.

As a result, the blurry figure disappeared and seemed to blend into the darkness. When it reappeared, it was already in the pavilion... behind Ye Shiyan.

A pale palm with no trace of blood directly grasped her long and slender neck.

As soon as Ye Shiyan's expression changed, she was about to resist. A gleaming fire appeared on her body. The faint shadow of the immortal phoenix flashed in her eyes, and she was about to attack the figure behind her.

However, the pale palm of her hand, as white as snow, suddenly exerted force, and blood lines seemed to spread away. She immediately groaned in pain, and all the aura that emerged instantly collapsed.

"Don't try to resist or you'll die."

A cold and indifferent voice sounded, accompanied by a sound like cracking bones. Ye Shiyan's face instantly turned pale, and the blood suddenly disappeared. It seemed that his breathing had become difficult, and his whole body became painful due to suffocation.

"you……"

"Let go of Jian Jia quickly."

Seeing this scene, Xiao Teng's face turned extremely ugly. No matter how slow his reaction was, he still understood that he was... being followed.

Otherwise, why would this strange figure suddenly appear?

"Haha, Mr. Xiao asked me to let go, and I will let go?" The cold and indifferent voice seemed to sneer, but the movement of his hand did not relax at all.

Ye Shiyan's face showed pain, and there was a hint of fire in the depths of his eyes, trying to struggle.

She didn't expect that she would encounter such a thing if she just asked Xiao Teng to come out to meet and ask about the spirit tortoise armor tonight...

"Stop."

"Who are you?"

Seeing Xie Jianjia in extreme pain, Xiao Teng's expression changed drastically and he shouted hurriedly.
