Absolutely admire

Once the barrier of the empty valley was broken, hundreds of birds chirped, and a white light suddenly appeared.

Qiu Qingxuan seemed to have noticed something, frowned and looked at the vast sky. He had a clue for a long time, but he didn't make a sound.

Dozens of blue-clothed disciples in Tongxuan Peak were still practicing swords, chopping firewood, and cooking.Seeing the vision in the sky, they all stopped their work and walked towards Qiu Qingxuan.

"Master, could this be..." the leading disciple in blue asked, "What went wrong inside the empty valley?"

The young man looked about seventeen or eighteen years old, with a pair of red phoenix eyes exuding a piercing and unruly aura, under his tall nose bridge were two proud thin lips.

Qiu Qingxuan stood with his hands behind his back, feeling a little uneasy in his heart.

"Sikun, please go and invite Junior Brother Duan and Junior Brother Bai, and the other disciples will follow me to the Kong Valley to check." Qiu Qingxuan ordered, Shen Sikun nodded in agreement, then turned and left, and the rest of the disciples went to the Kong Valley with Qiu Qingxuan first.

"Where's Ye Nan?" Qiu Qingxuan asked seeing that he wasn't in the crowd.

"Report to Master." A blue-clothed disciple said with disgust on his face, "Junior Brother Mo Yenan doesn't work and doesn't practice swords. He said early in the morning that he wanted to see the scenery of Jiuxiao Mountain, but he couldn't stop him."

Almost got into a fight.

Qiu Qingxuan raised his forehead when he heard the words, and he thought to himself that people with such temperaments make friends with such temperaments.

on the road.

"Hey, you said, who would break the barrier in the forbidden area of ​​the empty valley?" A disciple whispered to the surrounding disciples in surprise, "I heard that the one maintaining the barrier is an extremely vicious beast! Don't kill it!" It won't break!"

"How would I know who it is?" Another disciple spread his hands with disdain on his face, "It must not be a good person who broke into the forbidden place for no reason!"

"Could it be that the Demon Lord came into the world?! Or could it be a certain extremely high-level demon cultivator?!" As soon as a disciple finished speaking, someone beside him poked his shoulder with an elbow, and he said, "This You can't talk nonsense, Mozun was seriously injured and fell into a deep sleep three years ago, and the head also said that he would never wake up within five years. Infiltrating into Jiuxiao Mountain? You should stop talking nonsense here."

"Then...who could it be?" The blue-clothed disciple said distressedly, "No...it couldn't be that Cong Quan didn't die? He just fell into the empty valley, killed the evil beast and came out!!?"

"Your brain... is really big enough."

Qiu Qingxuan coughed lightly, and glanced at the disciple with a rare sullen look on his face.The disciple immediately lowered his head, very frightened, shut up and dared not speak.

When he reached the stone tablet outside the empty valley, Qiu Qingxuan's heart sank suddenly, and he said, "Sure enough..."

What lies ahead is just an ordinary tree-lined path, without the blowing cold wind, and there is no subtle whistling sound.

It was very cold and very quiet.

Two kinds of footsteps of different severity gradually came from behind, Qiu Qingxuan and others turned around and saw Duan Qiong and Shen Sikun galloping in parallel.

"Brother sect master!" Duan Qiong said solemnly, "But who broke the barrier?!"

"I don't know yet, it's just this remaining sword intent..." Qiu Qingxuan shook his head, "Where is Junior Brother Bai?"

Shen Sikun pursed his lips, and said: "I went to Yinxiao Peak first. The disciples under Master Bai Yuan's seat said that they had never seen it, and the disciple even shouted a few times outside the bamboo forest... and did not hear anything from Master Bai Yuan. responded."

Hearing this, Duan Qiong formed a fist with his palm and said, "Could it be the barrier broken by Junior Brother Bai!?"

As soon as he finished speaking, everyone present was startled.

They thought about Mozun Moxiu or Cong Quan and a certain expert, none of them would think about Bai Yuan.

Because, it is simply impossible.

Bai Yuan is well known to everyone, he is cold and aloof, calm and low-key.Moreover, I am afraid of trouble!I've never seen him meddling in other people's affairs, except that time when he helped Cong Rong.

"This sword intent is indeed left by Yuan Bing, but... Junior Brother Bai has no reason to..." Qiu Qingxuan was stunned, "Could it be because of that piece of jade?"

Recalling that on the way up the mountain a few days ago, Cong Rong's jade pendant accidentally fell into the empty valley.

"Brother Bai should not do such a stupid thing." Duan Qiong said, "He still has a clear distinction between the serious and the serious."

"..."

The scene fell silent for a while, and Qiu Qingxuan felt that it would be meaningless to continue guessing like this, so he decided to enter the empty valley to conduct a full-scale search.Whether it's Moxiu or Bai Yuan, breaking the forbidden area of ​​the empty valley will definitely be punished.

Just as Qiu Qingxuan took the first step across the stone tablet, a slender white figure broke into the field of vision.

"Senior Brother Qiu." Bai Yuan stood with his hands behind his back, slightly scanning the group of people in front of him, "Senior Brother Duan is here too."

His tone was calm, his expression indifferent, his cheeks that had been slightly eroded before were now extremely white, as if nothing had happened.

Only the snow-white clothes were soaked in blood, stained blood red.But he still has a graceful demeanor, standing especially straight.

When Qiu Qingxuan saw his appearance, his heart tensed up, and he hurried to his side, saying: "How could Junior Brother look like this?! You arrived here one step ahead of us, but who did you meet?"

If it was said that Bai Yuan had fought with someone, then Yuan Bing's remnant sword intent would be easy to say.

Duan Qiong guessed: "Could it be Jiang Wuzhe's subordinate, or maybe it will be his..."

But Bai Yuan didn't intend to hide anything, he was silent for a while, then interrupted Duan Qiong's words: "I broke it."

"what!?"

Qiu Qingxuan was startled when he heard the words, Duan Qiong choked suddenly, his face turned pale, and the bottom part was filled with sobs.

Qiu Qingxuan was surprised: "Brother Bai, did you break the barrier of the empty valley?"

"Not bad." Bai Yuan nodded.

Duan Qiong's complexion changed suddenly behind him. One moment ago he spoke out to defend Bai Yuan, but the next second he came out to confess his guilt, and scolded: "Do you know what you did?!"

He has always been thin-skinned, and he finally said something nice for others, but suddenly his face was "slapped" by the slap, how could his face be so good.

The rest of the blue-clothed disciples, including Shen Sikun, all looked surprised and shocked.

But Bai Yuan is still like a pool of ice water, calm and calm.

"I know." He bowed and bowed, and said coldly, "So please punish the master."

"You came here because of Cong Rong?" Qiu Qingxuan hit the nail on the head, "Just to help him find that jade pendant? You put yourself in danger like this?"

His gentle tone was mixed with trembling. He couldn't believe that Bai Yuan's character would do such a reckless thing, and he couldn't even believe that the person in front of him could be Bai Yuan.

Bai Yuan remained silent, still maintaining the posture of bowing and bowing, as if tacitly acquiescing, Qiu Qingxuan sighed deeply.

Duan Qiong glared at him angrily, and said, "Tell that brat Cong Rong to get out! I'll have to peel off that brat's skin today! See how he has confused you!"

The branches above were rustling, and Bai Yuan said indifferently: "Brother Duan, I am the one who entered the empty valley, I was the one who killed the spirit eater, and broke the barrier. A Rong didn't know anything about it. I saw the jade pendant It's not an ordinary thing, and I can't bear to waste it."

Qiu Qingxuan looked towards him, it seemed that this was the first time in his history that he heard Bai Yuan say so many words in one breath.

Although Bai Yuan had great respect for Qiu Qingxuan, the two of them never had much negotiation and their relationship was rather unfamiliar.

Moreover, Bai Yuan seemed unwilling to open his heart to anyone, not even Cong Quan.However, Qiu Qingxuan did not expect that all of his rare long words at this moment were justifying Cong Rong.

Duan Qiong flicked his sleeves and said angrily, "You're overestimating your capabilities!"

Bai Yuan said: "Senior brother said yes, please punish the sect master brother."

Qiu Qingxuan calmly said: "Did you find that jade pendant, and where is it now?"

"Never found."

Duan Qiong glanced at him and said: "I didn't find it? How could I be willing to come out if I didn't find my junior brother? I see that my junior brother has always favored him since he met that stinky boy. Now, he has talked a lot. This is not like you, junior brother. Or Said, Junior Brother really loved the passing Junior Brother Cong so much? He even took good care of his son."

Bai Yuan glanced at Duan Qiong, but said nothing to his words.

Qiu Qingxuan glared at Duan Qiong and said, "Junior Brother Duan! Can you take my words to heart? Don't mention the past again!"

He really wondered if his words were equivalent to air, first the disciples and then Duan Qiong couldn't listen to them one by one.

Duan Qiong bowed his head and said: "I'm sorry, brother, I was impulsive."

Qiu Qingxuan suppressed his sullen anger, and smiled wryly at Bai Yuan: "Forget it, the spirit eater wants to swallow the spirit thing when it sees it, and I'm afraid it has already been swallowed into its stomach. Did Junior Brother Bai get hurt when he fought with that evil beast?" ? Look at your body..." He stretched out his hand to check Bai Yuan's situation.

"Never." Bai Yuan denied, and did not refuse. Ren Qiu Qingxuan first held his wrist to check his pulse, and then checked whether there was any wound on his body.

His robe looked distressed, full of bloodstains, but under the bloody clothes was fair and intact skin without any wounds.

"Where is Cong Rong now?" Qiu Qingxuan was sure that he was fine, looked around, and asked suspiciously, "Did you really break in alone?"

"Ah Rong has been staying in the bamboo forest. It is true that I came here alone, and I never told him about it." Bai Yuan said calmly.

Qiu Qingxuan turned his head to look at Shen Sikun, Shen Sikun hurriedly said: "The disciple didn't dare to trespass in the bamboo forest residence, but just called Master Bai Yuan's name outside the residence, and left after making sure no one responded."

Bai Yuan immediately said: "Ah Rong has such a personality, I'm afraid he deliberately ignored him."

"You are really... Even if you want to break in, you should tell us. If something happens accidentally... so nonsense, how decent is it?" Qiu Qingxuan frowned, shook his head and sighed, "Forget it, you go first today." Go back and have a good rest, and you will be punished tomorrow."

Bai Yuan nodded, "Yes."

"Aren't you going with us?" Qiu Qingxuan saw that he was standing there, showing no sign of leaving.

"I want to stay alone for a while." Bai Yuan said, "Brothers, go first, I'll go back later."

"Alright, Junior Brother Duan, let's go." Qiu Qingxuan turned and left, "Junior Brother Bai must have his own ideas." He whispered to Duan Qiong.

"I thought so too at first." Duan Qiong sighed, "but brother, don't forget, although Junior Brother Bai has been acting calm and steady, it made us forget that he just turned 20 years old. Without him, it's still not right..."

"Junior Brother, don't say that, maybe that piece of jade pendant really has some special meaning that allows Junior Brother Bai to disregard his own safety. Although Junior Brother Bai is young, I am impressed by his cultivation and character. I believe him .”

It's a pity that in the end, he still couldn't take back that jade pendant, and it was all fruitless.

Duan Qiong sighed softly, showing a little helplessness.As Qiu Qingxuan left, after turning around, he still didn't forget to turn his head and give Bai Yuan a gouging look.

When the wind blows, the blood-stained clothes and black hair fly in the air together.

Bai Yuan stood on the spot and watched everyone leave. He raised his head slightly, looked at the tree branches hanging above him for a while and then said softly: "Come down."
