Rivals don't play cards according to routine

The rolling mountains are like a giant dragon lying on the horizon. There are countless peaks, large and small, and it is endlessly spreading green as far as the eye can see.This is the end of the sheep intestines path, and the towering trees with luxuriant branches and leaves cover the way forward.

The horse was panting heavily, Xiao Junyue got off the horse, walked around in the airtight forest, and came out with a gloomy expression.He originally thought that the mountain three hundred miles away that Bai Li mentioned was referring to only one mountain, but when he came here, he was dumbfounded.This is not a mountain but a group of mountains, the ghost knows that the hermit sect is in that corner.

Knowing that he was tricked by Bai Li, Xiao Junyue was in a terrible mood.He wandered around in the mountains and forests, but found no passable road.If they wanted to move on, they had to abandon their horses and walk, or investigate with Yujian.But there are many mountains here, when will they find it.

Xiao Junyue squinted his eyes, he could settle down in such a place where no bird shit, the person who handed over Bai Li's painting soul technique might not be the one who cares about the world of mortals.He had previously suspected that this person was a monster, but now it seems that his deduction was not accurate.This kind of place is not suitable for the Yaozu to live in peace. The Yaozu's nature is like this, and they can't stand loneliness the most.

If this person is really a monster, this kind of deep, dead, deserted place can drive him crazy.

Xiao Junyue gave up the idea of ​​looking for it, got on his horse, and prepared to take Ye Hanqi away.Just as they turned their horses around, they found that the trail behind them disappeared without a trace, and a row of thorny trees lined up neatly behind them.The sharp thorns on the thorns are sharp, emitting a cold light.The big tree is like an ancient guard, tenaciously defending the territory under its feet, and never moving away.

Xiao Junyue's heart skipped a beat, and before he could react, the horse under him roared mournfully.A few wrist-thick thorns emerged from the soil, and the sharp thorns pierced into the horse's legs. Blood gushed out instantly, being greedily sucked by the thorns.The horse struggled, and Xiao Junyue exerted strength on his feet, holding Ye Hanqi in the air, and then swung in the air and landed in the open space far away.

The moment Xiao Junyue and the others left, more thorns emerged from the soil, wrapped tightly around the horse, and kept gathering into a ball.The blood stained the thorns, the horse's voice weakened, and the thorns became cocoons and dragged the horse into the ground.

Xiao Junyue and Ye Hanqi looked at each other in blank dismay, this matter was slow to say, but in reality it took only a few breaths.The thorns only attacked the horses without embarrassing them, and seemed to be a demonstration to prevent them from leaving.

"I want to see who is pretending to be a ghost."

Xiao Junyue was aroused to be aggressive, and he waved his palm towards the impenetrable forest behind him.The scorching fire spirit in the palm turned into a long dragon, devouring a dark passage like a bamboo.Since the owner of this place wants him to look for it, then he will formally inform him that he has come.

Ye Hanqi also took out his own weapon. His current cultivation has already broken through the border, and he has become one of the great powers, and he can use more skills.Now even if a powerful monk in the late stage of entry fights head-to-head with him, Ye Hanqi may not be able to fall behind.But now it is different from Mingda, the danger lurks in the darkness, making it impossible to guard against.No one knows which direction the attack will come from in the next moment.

Ye Hanqi deliberately put Xiao Junyue behind him to protect him, but Xiao Junyue chuckled lightly and did not let him take any risks.On the surface, it seems that Xiao Junyue's cultivation is only in the Lianhua period, but in fact, with the unique cultivation talent of the demon king, combined with the cultivation of the monster race and the dual cultivation method, Xiao Junyue's cultivation has far surpassed the Lianhua stage, approaching the late stage of Zangfeng .

If the demon king's real body is exposed, he can use more demon power, and it is not impossible to fight against the inbound power.It's just that this is too risky, unless he kills people to silence him, he dare not try it lightly.

Because he knew that once the demon king's secrets were leaked out, he would face endless killings.At this moment, he is not capable of coping with this crisis.

The depths of the dark jungle are like the mouth of a giant beast, waiting for the prey to break in.Xiao Junyue insisted on walking ahead to open the way, his fire spirit illuminated the way forward and broke through the darkness.

The further you go in, the lower the visibility, and the fallen leaves are spread layer after layer, and they creak when stepped on.The deadly atmosphere tends to make people highly nervous. Xiao Junyue didn't dare to take it lightly, so he mustered up his energy and reached out his spiritual sense to pay attention to the movements around him.

Ye Hanqi behind him was very quiet all the way, following the imprint of Xiao Junyue's past, so as not to fall into the unknown trap by mistake.The fire dragon that opened the way in front exhausted its spiritual power and gradually extinguished. Xiao Junyue walked to the end of the passage, and could vaguely see light coming through from the other side.Xiao Junyue was overjoyed, and violently cut down a row of big trees in front of him. Bright light came in, and at the end of the forest was a beautiful canyon.

The two steep and smooth mountain walls lined up form a surrounding trend, wrapping the canyon in it.At the bottom of the valley, there are wild flowers and peach trees.Now is not the season for peach blossoms, but the peach blossoms at the bottom of the valley are still in full bloom.

Xiao Junyue looked at the large peach grove in front of him, and suddenly felt a sense of familiarity, as if he had seen such a scene somewhere.

"Brother, do you have any impression of this place?"

Xiao Junyue turned back to ask the people behind him, but the people behind him didn't answer.His upper body was still hidden in the darkness, and the moon-white clothes were blown by the wind.Xiao Junyue suddenly felt strange, there was something wrong with the style of the clothes.

"This is the scenery in Bai Li's painting." The voice of the person who spoke was deep and mellow, not Ye Hanqi's voice.

Xiao Junyue's pupils shrank suddenly, and the other party stepped over and walked in front of him.The light blows away the darkness that covered his face, revealing a handsome face with a calm smile on it.There was no malice in his eyes looking at Xiao Junyue, on the contrary, his eyes were warm and kind, just like looking at an old acquaintance of his.

"This face is not bad, although it's a little worse than I imagined." The other party approached Xiao Junyue familiarly, put his hand on his face, and rubbed it gently.

Xiao Junyue's hair stood on end when he touched him, and he stretched out his palm like lightning to grab the opponent's throat.But the opponent moved faster, easily received Xiao Junyue's attack and blocked his retreat.This was a hard stubble, just a back and forth, Xiao Junyue knew that the other party's cultivation base was far above him and Ye Hanqi.Otherwise, he wouldn't even notice that the people behind him changed.

The young man tied Xiao Junyue's hands, hugged him into his arms, and flew into the peach blossom forest.

"Let go." Xiao Junyue raised his foot and kicked the person, but was avoided by the young man.He looked directly at the other party with sharp eyes and asked, "Who are you?"

"My name is Shen Zhilan, I thought you still remember." The young man said, looking a little disappointed.

"I haven't seen you before, so how could I remember. Where is my senior brother? What did you do to him?" Xiao Junyue tried to break free from the silk ribbon in his hand, but found that it looked soft and thin, but it was unexpectedly flexible. It cannot be shaken by brute force or fire.

Seeing this, Shen Zhilan laughed and said: "Don't waste your energy, you can't solve it. I won't do anything to you, I just want to talk to you, but I don't like your senior brother. I saw that he has a good cultivation base, so I set up a A few checkpoints are just for him to practice. Don't worry, I won't hurt him."

Shen Zhilan spoke lightly and casually, and didn't think there was anything wrong with taking Xiao Junyue away alone.The only person he wanted to see was Xiao Junyue, making an exception to help Bai Li was just to set up a situation for Xiao Junyue, as for the others, they were not in his consideration at all.

Knowing that Ye Hanqi's life was not in danger, Xiao Junyue was in the mood to talk to this person in front of him.Thinking about this person's words from the beginning, it is not difficult for Xiao Junyue to guess that this person has a relationship with him, or to put it more bluntly, this person has a relationship with the monster clan.And in Yaozu, is there anyone named Shen Zhilan?

Xiao Junyue frowned and thought for a long time, then suddenly his expression changed, he looked at the person in front of him in surprise, twitched his eyebrows and said, "The demon general Shen Zhilan?"

Speaking of the four demon generals of the demon clan, there is a question that Xiao Junyue has never figured out. For him, the female general Nan Xi, Li Chong and Yan Li, who have been lurking in the Northern Mingzong for hundreds of years, are for him.As for the hidden general Shen Zhilan, no matter whether it is in the memory of the demon king or in the records of the demon clan later, there is no sound.

It seems that everyone has forgotten him tacitly. Even if they know that there is such a person, they will choose to turn a blind eye.Even when Zhou Wei told Xiao Junyue, who had not recovered his memory, about the history of the Yaozu, he intentionally skipped the story of this person.

In Xiao Junyue's memory as the demon king, he only vaguely remembered that he had saved this man's life, and had a 300-year agreement with him, and the specific memory did not exist at all.

Shen Zhilan saw that Xiao Junyue remembered who he was, and the smile on the corner of his mouth grew wider, like a child who got candy, and he was very happy.He danced on the spot, happily picked a bunch of peach blossoms and handed them to Xiao Junyue.The peach blossom forest here is not an illusion, but due to the geographical location, the flowering period is always in full bloom.Holding the bouquet in my hand, there is still a faint fragrance of flowers.

"I knew the king didn't forget me." Shen Zhilan hugged Xiao Junyue tightly, rubbing against him like a puppy.

Xiao Junyue felt goosebumps all over his body, realizing that something was wrong.Shen Zhilan is a demon general, and there is nothing wrong with having a deep relationship with the demon king.But this Shen Zhilan's behavior has surpassed the relationship between subordinates and subordinates. He looked at Xiao Junyue with eyes full of possessiveness, wishing to eat Xiao Junyue in one bite.

A subtle thought arose in Xiao Junyue's mind. He lowered his eyes, pushed Shen Zhilan away and raised his bound hands and said, "Is this how you treat your king? And why are you not in the monster clan, but mixed with humans instead."

Shen Zhilan was taken aback by Xiao Junyue's question. He looked at Xiao Junyue meaningfully, and said with a smile: "It seems that the king really forgot that I was originally a human cultivator, not a demon clan. When you saved my life, I I promised to protect you for 300 years. I just didn’t expect that something like this happened in the middle, and my agreement with you was terminated. You think that as a human cultivator, after you are sealed, I can still live with the monster race as if nothing happened ?"

The demon general Shen Zhilan is a human cultivator, Xiao Junyue was startled, and suddenly broke out in a cold sweat.He looked at Shen Zhilan in amazement, and asked with a gloomy face: "How do you know my identity?"

Shen Zhilan had no connection with the Yaozu, but he still recognized Xiao Junyue at a glance, and even slowly devised a trick to lure him in.Xiao Junyue had to guard against such thoughts.

Shen Zhilan saw Xiao Junyue's defense, he didn't get angry or angry, but treated it calmly with a smile on his face.

"Because I have been paying attention to you, since your first resurrection, I have been following you. In this life, I knew that your soul was complete, so I didn't show up. I still couldn't control myself when I heard the news that you passed by here , ran out and set a small trap to bring you in."

Shen Zhilan's tone was brisk, and he was in a good mood.Obviously, I have endured too much suffering and suffered too much grievance in my relentless pursuit life after life.But at the end, they all said it in one sentence, leaving a heart full of joy.

Xiao Junyue was in a turbulent mood, and Shen Zhilan's words were like a pocket full of air exploding in his heart, making him dizzy and short of breath.How much affection does a person have for another person to pursue him so persistently?

"You..." Xiao Junyue wanted to ask if it was worth it?For the enemy against oneself.But Shen Zhilan's smile was too bright, and when the words came to his lips, he suddenly couldn't ask.

What kind of thoughts does this demon general who has no sense of existence in his memory have towards him?Xiao Junyue didn't dare to think deeply, fearing that he would not be able to respond to that enthusiasm.

"My lord, don't blame me for making my own decisions. I really want to tell you something." Seeing that Xiao Junyue didn't speak, Shen Zhilan thought he was angry, and hurriedly explained to him.

Xiao Junyue shook his head, facing such a person who silently paid for him, how could he bear to blame him.

"I'll go with you, but you bring Senior Brother Ye here first." Xiao Junyue said.

Shen Zhilan's face changed, and his expression was a little subtle.Xiao Junyue was thinking about Ye Hanqi, he is not a fool, how could he not see the clue?Looking into Xiao Junyue's eyes, Shen Zhilan suddenly asked seriously: "My lord, are your tail feathers still there?"
