Xu Yan also lives in this inn, not far from Yuan Qi, so it's not surprising that he can hear it.

Motozaki nodded, "It's the kind of sobbing sound that you want to cry but force yourself to hold back. It's eerie and hasn't stopped all night."

"You and I heard the same thing. I also knocked on the door, but no one answered."

Qi Zhao stood on the side with his head down, Yuan Qi felt that his reaction was a bit wrong, "Qi Zhao, what's wrong?"

Qi Zhao pursed his lips, and after hesitating for a while, he still opened his mouth, "Yuan Qi, do you really think that what you heard was whimpering, not... swallowing?"

Both Yuan Qi and Xu Yan were taken aback.

After a while, Motozaki frowned, "If you say that, the sound last night was indeed more like a swallowing sound."

He and Xu Yan looked at each other, suddenly felt creepy, "Qi Zhao, do you know something?"

"...I've heard this kind of voice before."

Qi Zhao told them about the fallen man with the black phoenix pattern on his back and the nightmare he had that night, but he didn't mention that the people in it were him and Xie Shen, and he also concealed his doubts about Chi Mu.

After listening to him, Yuan Qi's brows frowned even deeper, "I seem to have heard Qin Yu mention the person with the black phoenix pattern on his back. He said that he saw it once near the elder's mansion, but it was only in the blink of an eye. He doubted it." I was wrong."

Presbyterian mansion?

Qi Zhao's heart skipped a beat.

These people were dead soldiers secretly raised by the Elder's Mansion before they fell into the devil, and it is not impossible that they are still used by the Elder's Mansion now.

After thinking for a while, Qi Zhao said, "I'll tell Xie Shen about this later. The question now is, what is next door to you...?"

Yuan Qi and Xu Yan thought about the demon who ate people's hearts in Qi Zhao's dream, and their stomachs suddenly felt uncomfortable.

"Let's take a look at this first. After all, no one knows what's going on next door. So, let's sneak a look tonight. If we can find out something, you and Xie Shen can go back sooner."

"……Too dangerous."

"No." Motozaki smiled, "Vajra wood blood, others dare not say, self-protection is still possible, if it can't be done, the ninth-level thunderbolt talisman you gave me last time is still there, just throw one away."

Yuan Qi's strategy of "walking is the best policy" has always been well implemented. Qi Zhao knew that things he had decided could not be changed, so he nodded his head.

"Then let's make a decision first, don't talk about it, go down to eat something, and continue to sleep after eating, so that you can have a mind to do things at night." Motozaki said.

Xu Yan also meant the same thing, "I'll go eat some too, and then I'll go to the Phoenix Martial Arts Field to have a look."

This is a militant, but he is very similar to Qin Wan.

Yuan Qi raised his eyebrows, "Your temperament reminds me of someone, I think, you might as well go find Qin Lan first, and go to the martial arts field with him, you will be satisfied."

Qin Wan is a person who can use the water attribute more fiercely than the metal and fire attributes. Although the blood attribute has less resonance, it is definitely enough.

Xu Yan's eyes lit up, "Okay, okay, then let's go down quickly, I'll go after eating."

Qi Zhao smiled helplessly, followed him to stand up, because of sitting for too long, the moment he got up, his waist was sore again, he hurriedly supported the table, slowed down and turned back, saw Yuan Qi and Xu Yan Looking at him with the same expression, she smiled meaningfully.

Today's embarrassment is really thrown outside.

Qi Zhaobie started, "What are you looking at, let's go."

……

Although the location of this inn is remote and small, the food tastes good.

The three of them took half an hour to eat, Xu Yan was going to go to the martial arts arena, Qi Zhao was a little curious, and planned to follow.

Motozaki decided to go back to sleep.

"What's the point of sleeping all the time?" Xu Yan encouraged him, "Why don't you come with us."

Yuan Qi glanced at him lazily, but he didn't know what he thought of, so he didn't refuse, "OK."

Xu Yan became happy, "Then don't dawdle, just walk around."

The three of them went out together, first went to Zhimutang to look for Qin Yu, who had been feeling restless recently, so naturally agreed, and went with them to the Martial Arts Field, which is in the north of Phoenix City, and there are carvings on all sides that spread their wings and want to fly of Phoenix.

This place is divided into three floors, the first floor is the place of cultivation, the second floor is for ordinary discussions, just click to the end, and the third floor is for life and death.

As soon as Xu Yan entered, he went straight to the third floor. Qin Yan also looked eager to try. Although Qi Zhao and Yuan Qi were helpless, they followed them up.

There are a lot of people inside, the surroundings are higher, and in the middle is a slightly shorter square stone platform. There are already people competing on it, metal and fire, and the metal person on the left is obviously stronger and more ruthless.

Qi Zhao and Yuan Qi chose a seat and walked up. When they sat down, the competition was just over, and there was a burst of cheers from all around.

Qi Zhao looked over following the voice, and saw that the man of the fire attribute was lying on the ground dying, the pool of blood around his body was particularly glaring.

Blood can often arouse people's desire for war and tyranny. The voices of the people around are getting louder and louder, and the air is full of blood and sweat.

Motozaki approached him, "This is how life and death are fought. If you feel uncomfortable, we will go out first."

"I'm fine." Qi Zhao looked to the side, "Where are Xu Yan and Qin Wan?"

"They wanted to go down to compete, so they went to the back and waited first, which is the place to the left of Yanwu Stage."

Yuan Qi pointed, and said: "Remember not to run around, and don't get close to it when you run around. As long as you step into the stone platform, whether you intend it or not, it will be regarded as a competition."

"Okay." Qi Zhao nodded.

Motozaki smiled suddenly, "But I don't think you will walk around, your waist and legs are trembling like that, where do you want to go?"

Qi Zhao: "..."

The sudden cheers just rightly resolved his embarrassment, and the two looked towards the Yanwu stage together.Now it's a new round of competition, the one who won before will continue, he didn't leave, and stood in place waiting for the newcomer.

Soon, the vine wall beside the stone platform rose slowly, and a person came out slowly, covered by a black cloak, with a silver mask on his face, only a pair of eyes were exposed, like stagnant water, without any waves.

When the people around saw him coming out, they suddenly boiled.

"Is it not at night? Hasn't he been out for more than half a year?"

"It's him. I heard that he seemed to be recovering from his injuries, but why do we care so much?"

"That's right, I've heard of his reputation before, but he had already disappeared when I came here. I thought I would never see him again, but I didn't expect to have a chance."

"I just don't know how his skill is now. If it's still the same as before, then someone should watch it."

"..."

Listening to the discussions of the people around him, Qi Zhao probably had a little understanding of this person named Bu Ye.

This person suddenly appeared a year ago. He was dressed like this when he first came to the martial arts arena. He single-handedly knocked down all the people who were in the martial arts arena at that time. His methods were fierce, clean and neat, and he never failed.

For the uncrowned king.

Seeing him, the person on the stage who was still high-spirited had fear in his eyes, but he still gritted his teeth and said, "Please."

Bu Ye didn't even look at him, called out the vine, and pressed it down without saying a word. It was also of the fire attribute, but he was too thoroughly disguised, and the vines were covered with black cloth. If it weren't for the burning spirits around Force flames, nothing can be seen.

The vines glowed fiery red, and they struck down with a slight bow. The person on the opposite side blocked it very hard, and his face instantly turned pale.

Buye glanced at it, and moved his fingers carelessly. The vines in front of him suddenly changed their trajectory, entangled around the man, and then raised sharp thorns on the surface. When he probed forward, he didn't know what method he used. It suddenly dispersed, and in an instant, the flesh and blood were instantly pierced by the spikes on the vines.

"laugh--"

Then there was a sharp scream.

The vines with thorns were wrapped around his body, so that there was no intact place on his body, and the blood slowly trickled out along the thorns. In the blink of an eye, the clothes on his body were no longer visible. The original color is gone.

He dropped his hands weakly, and a painful sound came from his throat.Not at night but still felt that it was not enough, the vine was lifted up, the man was lifted into the air, screamed hoarsely, the blood continued to fall, and soon gathered at the foot.

This is simply a dead hand.

The faces of the people surrounded by vines have turned pale, and the sixth-level cultivators have no room to fight back.

Feeling bored, Buye finally took back the vines that were blazing with flames, and the man fell to the ground powerlessly, and was quickly carried out by the people from the martial arts arena.

After a moment of silence, the surrounding voices erupted.

Buye stood in the hustle and bustle, his eyes were still indifferent, and many people went up after that, their ranks were not low, but they still couldn't survive even a moment in Buye's hands.

His strikes were still ruthless, and the ground of the martial arts platform was quickly covered with an ugly brown layer.

Qi Zhao was dazzled by the increasingly thick smell of blood in the air, his face looked paler than the defeated person below, Yuan Qi glanced at him worriedly, "Qi Zhao, are you okay?"

"It's okay." Qi Zhao shook his head, and was even more worried about Xu Yan and Qin Wan, "Buye is like this... Can Xu Yan and Qin Wan survive?"

"Buye is a cultivator, and Xu Yan and Qin Yu are spiritual planters. The two are clearly distinguished in the martial arts field, and they will not match up."

Yuan Qi said, "Speaking of which, I didn't tell you beforehand that the competitions of cultivators are always bloody. You haven't seen it much, and you may not be used to it. Master Lingzhi will be much more peaceful."

After all, the spirit planter in the Floating Life Realm is very important. If it really hurts his life, the Martial Arts Field can't afford it.

Qi Zhao nodded, and suddenly felt very ashamed. He was also not from Phoenix City, but he was the only one who had no experience.

He said this to Yuan Qi, hearing this, Yuan Qi paused, and sighed quietly, "I can't help it. When I didn't practice well in the past, the teacher always threatened me to throw me to the martial arts field in Phoenix City. Slowly Yes, I know."

"..."

Qi Zhao couldn't help laughing.

Motozaki sighed again, "Okay, let's continue watching."

But no one dared to go up to the martial arts stage.

This is also human nature, who is willing to go to the obvious death.The few people before had only heard of Buye's reputation, but had never really experienced it. They felt dissatisfied, and left out of their will. The fate is now clear.

It was so quiet around.

According to the rules of the martial arts arena, as long as the people who come down, they will be forced to push up whether they want to or not. The eyes of all the people watching are gathered there, but there is no movement for a long time.

Buye stood alone on the martial arts stage, still looking calm, after a while, he glanced down lightly, then suddenly turned around and walked behind the rattan wall.

He didn't continue to fight, and the people watching were a little disappointed, but it was a good thing for the people behind the vine wall.

Bu Ye walked very slowly, he was surrounded by a black cloak, and his whole person had a lifeless smell.

Qi Zhao looked at him, and when he was about to reach the vine-wood wall, Buye suddenly turned his head, Qi Zhao had no time to look back, and met him in an instant, those eyes were calm and gloomy, like a barren mound, for a long while, Slightly squinted.

The sensation in the eyes changed immediately.

Just like a poisonous snake near a swamp, it is commonplace to see death, its eyes are cold, and it is dormant by the side with a fishy smell all over its body.

Qi Zhao's fingers trembled, and when he looked over again, Buye's figure had disappeared behind the vine wall.

But just now the malice in his eyes was too strong, even if the person had disappeared, it still couldn't go away.

Qi Zhao's body stiffened, noticing something was wrong with him, Yuan Qi turned his head, "What's wrong?"

"No, just thinking about something."

Qi Zhao's mind was very confused, he didn't really want to mention this matter, when he was talking, the surrounding people's voices became noisy again, and someone from the martial arts stage below went up.

The competition in the Martial Arts Arena is divided into two stages. Today's monk's discussion stage is over, and the rest is for Lingzhi masters to compete. Yuan Qi is somewhat interested in this. After confirming that Qi Zhao is fine, he nodded and bowed his head. looked over.

Qi Zhao calmed down, but in the end he couldn't watch anything anymore.

The glance before Buye's departure turned over countless times in his mind, and after getting rid of the frightening malice, Qi Zhao suddenly felt that he seemed to have seen such a look before.

It was on Chi Mu when he was in the illusion of planting spirits.

Thinking about it, Chi Mu hadn't heard from him since he quit the Phoenix City Trial. Coupled with his previous problems, Qi Zhao's heart sank a little bit.

Could it be Ikeki?

But Buye is a cultivator, which is not in line with Chi Mu.

Qi Zhao frowned, and Yuan Qi who was beside him suddenly reached out and tugged at his sleeve, "Qin Wan and Xu Yan have come out."

Qi Zhao regained his senses and looked at the past. It was a coincidence that the people who competed were obviously random. This time, Qin Yan and Xu Yan happened to meet. The attributes of the two are one of water and the other of darkness, which is the attribute of symbiosis. It is impossible to say who has an advantage over whom.

They are all people with a lot of battle experience, and they are evenly matched in this respect. The dark color and the lake-blue light are entangled together, and they are unwilling to give in.

The surrounding atmosphere gradually became lively, and Qi Zhao's mind was also distracted, no longer thinking about those messy things.

Time goes by little by little.

This competition lasted for about half an hour. In the end, Xu Yan won, and Qin Yan fell behind in the ranks. The gap of the first rank was finally defeated by exhaustion.

Xu Yan didn't continue, and walked up with Qin Wan, looking a little tired, but his eyes were bright.

He wiped his sweat and looked at Qi Zhao, "It's really fun, but I still want to compete with you, but I can't make it happen today, so I can only wait for the next time."

After finishing speaking, Xu Yan rubbed his chin and smiled, "But, Qi Zhao, can City Lord Xie really give you a chance in the future?"

Motozaki also smiled.

Qin Wan didn't know about Qi Zhao yet. Hearing what they said, he asked in confusion, "What happened to Qi Zhao and City Lord Xie?"

Xu Yan didn't say much, just raised his eyebrows, "You understand."

So Qin Wan really understood.

He is not a serious person, so he immediately came over, observed for a long time and clicked his tongue, "It seems that City Lord Xie is quite powerful, Qi Zhao, tell me, how do you feel now?"

Soreness, pain, distress.

Qi Zhao glanced at him quietly, "I want to hit someone."

"That will have to wait until you recover." Qin Wan shrugged, "But whether City Lord Xie can still let you recover, we don't know."

Qi Zhao: "..."

Qi Zhao decided not to answer his words, and looked towards the martial arts platform again, and after looking at it for a while, he felt that it was good, the people below each had their own routines when they competed, and they could learn a lot by watching more.

I don't have the mind to think about anything else.

……

In the evening, the four of them left the martial arts arena, and they were all in high spirits. They didn't want to part ways yet, so they went back to the inn where Yuan Qi was staying.

Yuan Qi turned into his usual drowsy appearance again, resting his chin listlessly, while Qin Lan and Xu Yan were talking about the Martial Arts Field, and in a few words they made an appointment to go there from time to time in the future.

Qi Zhao doesn't understand the thinking of people who are naturally warlike.

Qi Zhao poured a glass of water, took a sip, and said a few words to Yuan Qi, when suddenly there was a knock on the door.

"It should be that the ordered food has arrived. I'll open the door." Xu Yan stood up first, then turned around and walked over to open the door.

The one standing by the door was not the waiter from the inn, but Xie Shen.

This is the pick up.

He walked in slowly, stopped beside Qi Zhao, his eyes were very gentle, and he asked softly, "How is today?"

Qi Zhao knew what he was referring to, coughed dryly, "It's okay, it's okay."

Then Xu Yan said coolly behind his back, "Well, you can consider not holding your waist when you say this."

Qi Zhao's hands froze.

Xie Shen smiled, put his hands on his waist, "Uncomfortable?"

"...No." Qi Zhao said, and after finishing speaking, he said in a voice that only he and Xie Shen could hear, "Let's talk about the rest when we go back, okay?" He couldn't afford to lose this person.

"Okay." Xie Shen replied, his eyes were as indulgent as he wanted.

Xu Yan had met Xie Shen once before, the city lord of Wanjing City, a cultivator of heaven rank, with a cold and serious personality, at that time someone deliberately provoked trouble in Wanjing City, Xie Shen didn't say a word, just stood on the tower With a wave of the long sword, a thunderous coercion surged, and no one dared to make a sound.

He was standing in the crowd and glanced up. He was too far away to see clearly, but he also clearly remembered the coldness of those eyes.I never thought that after going there for three years, the goodbye was actually a gentle brow and eyes.

People with Taoist companions are different.

Thinking of this, Xu Yan smiled, "Qi Zhao, are you going back?"

"I've been out for a day, and it's time to go back, but I suddenly remembered something just now."

Qi Zhao looked at Qin Yu, "I heard from Yuan Qi that you have seen a person with a black phoenix pattern on his back near the elder's mansion?"

"It seems to have happened once." Qin Wan thought for a while, "I can't see clearly. When I passed by, I saw a black phoenix behind him. It was very eye-catching, so I remembered it. What's wrong?"

Qi Zhao briefly said what he had said to Yuan Qi and Xu Yan before.

"So... I heard from others that they have seen it near the Elder's Mansion recently. If there is something wrong, you can go and have a look."

Qi Zhao and Xie Shen looked at each other.

These people were extremely secretive before, but now they suddenly became so blatant, it seems that the Elder's House believed that Nie Pan was seriously injured and couldn't hold back.

He nodded, "Okay...then, then I'll go back first."

"Go back early and take good care of it. I'm still waiting to have a good fight with you."

As he said that, Xu Yan smiled narrowly, "But you must be more careful in the future, I don't want to bully a person with a sore waist and weak legs."

Qi Zhao: "..."

Qi Zhao was teased by him many times today, it was fine when he was the only one, but now in front of Xie Shen, Qi Zhao touched his nose and felt his ears burn.

Xu Yan noticed and touched his chin, "Is Qi Zhao shy?"

Qi Zhao ignored him, raised his head and took a peek at Xie Shen, seeing the smile in the latter's eyes.

How can there be such a good-looking person?

Qi Zhao looked at it for a while, and inexplicably felt that he had some confidence in his heart. Over there, Xu Yan had already started whispering to Qin Lan, the content was very indecent, and Yuan Qi would join in the fun from time to time.

Qi Zhao only heard one sentence, and his ears became hotter, "Qin Lan, Xu Yan, you..."

I just started talking, and I don't know how to continue.

Qin Yun and Xu Yan knew that he was an honest man, he would not hate others, and they didn't care about his explosive hair at all. They both raised eyebrows and looked over with a smile, "Huh? What's the matter?"

Qi Zhao hesitated for a moment, not knowing what to say. Seeing the smiles on their faces became more obvious, Qi Zhao paused, and blurted out four words.

"Dead single."

A heart attack.

Yuanzaki: "..."

Qin Yun: "..."

Xu Yan: "..."

The three of them were silent for a while, looking at Xie Shen in grief and indignation.

Xie Shen, do you care? !

The author has something to say: The single team: "Xie Shen, don't you care?!"

Xie Qing (sigh): "If he is willing to take care of me, how can I live in such a heartache?"
