On How to Properly Engage a Deadly Enemy

As soon as Qi Zhuo opened his eyes, he saw the raging flames, and the scorching fire essence twisted and burned at the bottom of the cauldron.The flames burned the rocks red, and the ground cracked like flowing magma.Dozens of people were hung upside down and chained to the roof.Not far away, two men in black robes were cooking something with a cauldron.An indescribable fragrance of flowers is continuously pouring out from the tripod, filling the entire cave.

Qi Zhuo was dazed by the fragrance of this flower, and for some reason, he was bound by the most common rope, but he couldn't move.The hemp rope that was tied behind his back seemed to have suddenly turned into a fairy rope. Qi Zhuo combed the spiritual power in his body dozens of times, but he still couldn't use it.

Qi Zhuo sighed as he looked at the extremely large number of "comrades of the same kind" not far away.

That night, after he was overtaken by the attacker, he only had time to kick Sang Wan off the sword. Before he could make a full blow, he was slapped unconscious by the attacker. He didn't even know what the attacker looked like.After staying in the sect for so many years, he really learned for nothing.

Looking around, there are at least [-] people who have been hanged here, and many of them are disciples of top sects.Qi Zhuo looked at the disciple of the Fuyun Sect who was wrapped like a rice dumpling not far away, and smiled lightly in bitterness. Fortunately, it seemed that they were not the only sect that was attacked.

I don't know where the cave is. The ceiling of the cave is extremely high, and many stalactites hang down from it. However, due to the fire essence under the cauldron furnace, the entire cave was scorched and dry, and the stone surface faintly showed signs of cracking. .

I don't know what the two men in black robes were doing to arrest them.Qi Zhuo looked at the red cauldron burnt by fire essence, the corners of his lips twitched, he always felt that their end might be a little scary if this continued.

The flesh and blood on his wrists strangled by the hemp rope made Qi Zhuo dizzy after hanging upside down for a long time. After an unknown amount of time passed, the fire essence at the bottom of the cauldron began to gradually decrease. The laughter seemed to be excited, eerie, and frightening.

The fragrance of flowers in the cave became more and more intense, and gradually, the people who were hung upside down here began to wake up.Many people cursed and begged for mercy, and several female disciples cried helplessly.

Maybe it was too noisy here, or it could be that the two men in black robes were practicing at a critical moment.Qi Zhuo watched helplessly as the two men in black cut the throat of a girl from an aristocratic family and poured the blood into the cauldron.For a while, the aroma in the cave became more intense.Qi Zhuo looked at the twitching girl who was thrown on the ground like a piece of rubbish, her neck felt chilly, and all her limbs and bones shivered for a moment with a biting chill.

The strong aroma smelled from the tip of his nose made Qi Zhuo feel nauseated.

The girl's body was kicked away, and no blood flowed from the slashed neck. The girl's originally beautiful face was stained with a bluish-white lifelessness, and her almond eyes were wide open, showing a bit of horror. come.

Qi Zhuo closed his eyes uncomfortably, and turned his head away.

The roars of the girl's fellow disciples could be heard next to her ears, and then those roars disappeared.And the floral fragrance at the tip of the nose is so strong that it almost turns into essence.

,

The cave was almost frozen in silence for a moment, and even the sound of weeping disappeared, leaving only the slight sound of the flames licking the walls.Qi Zhuo clenched his fingers, took a few deep breaths, and suppressed all the panic and anger in his heart.

Slowly opening his eyes, Qi Zhuo glanced around, his heart gradually calmed down.

With so many of them disappearing, the sect must be aware of it. He was knocked unconscious, and he doesn't know the exact time.As long as there is enough time, people from the Zongmen will definitely notice and come to rescue them.

However, according to the current speed of their killing, I'm afraid they haven't found them yet, and all the people here have been killed by those two men in black robes.

Qi Zhuo looked around, and saw a bunch of flying swords and magic weapons thrown in a corner not far away, and some kind of formation was used to isolate the master from the magic weapons.Qi Zhuo tried to recite the decision, his saber shook, and then he lay powerlessly on the corpse.Qi Zhuo wrestled the hemp rope between his wrists, but still remained motionless.

It would be nice if the rope could be wrenched free.As long as he has a sword in his hand, he can always struggle a bit, at least he can buy more time for rescue.

Looking at the writhing human-shaped zongzi in front of him, Qi Zhuo's forehead broke out in cold sweat.How to do how to do……

Is it really necessary to sit still and wait for death?

Looking around, Qi Zhuo suddenly saw a pink-clothed figure hanging upside down not far away, with ragged clothes and disheveled hair, looking extremely embarrassed, but it was an old acquaintance—Yun Zhi.

She seemed to have been seriously injured, her face was extremely pale, without a trace of blood.At this moment, he was staring fiercely at the two men in black robes not far away, his eyes were about to pop out.The corners of Qi Zhuo's lips twitched, and he turned his eyes boredly. He has never had a good impression of this kind of young lady.Don't all the people of Fuyunzong have their eyes above their heads?Wasn't the daughter of her majestic Floating Cloud Sect master also caught here, waiting for bloodletting?Ah.

Glancing out of the corner of his eye, suddenly a little silver light flashed through the corner of Qi Zhuo's eye, and Qi Zhuo suddenly came back to his senses.Back then in the Danqing world, he had fought against Yunzhi, and he remembered that besides the whip that Yunzhi often used around her waist, there was also a flying sword in her hair that served as a hair pin!

Qi Zhuo's eyes lit up, looking at Yun Zhi as if seeing a huge treasure.

Seeing that the two men in black robes were about to open the cauldron to let out blood again, Qi Zhuo suddenly shook his body, his whole figure was like an upside-down pendulum, swinging from side to side.Sure enough, Yun Zhi's attention was attracted by him.

Qi Zhuo didn't dare to remind him aloud, he could only shake his head vigorously under Yun Zhi's eyes as if he was looking at a lunatic, signaling that the other party remembered the flying sword still stuck in his hair.

After the trip to Danqingjie five years ago, Yunzhi was seriously injured, and managed to recover from her injuries, but was detained by Yunxiu in the name of disobeying discipline, and was confined at home.A few days ago, she managed to break the confinement of her room and planned to run away from home, but she was attacked by someone on the way.When I woke up again, I was hung upside down in the cave and couldn't move.After living for 19 years, Yun Zhi has never been so embarrassed.

Looking at Qi Zhuo who was shaking his head violently not far away, Yun Zhi looked puzzled, could it be that the man was frightened out of his wits?

At this moment, the cauldron was turned on for the third time.

When the fourth son of the Floating Cloud Sect ran to Muyun Mountain, Xie Guixin was teasing the child.Yunchen was drawn by Xie Guixin with a sword qi, and the wooden sword in his hand trembled and he could hardly hold it.Sweating profusely against the sword energy that would come out of nowhere.

Xie Guixin sat under a century-old tree with coiled branches, a plate of fresh fruits piled up in front of him, and a little Taoist boy behind him fanned him, and a cup of tea in front of him never got cold.Fresh tea is brewed in a small red clay stove, and the fragrance of flowers is lingering. If there is another beauty playing the piano and singing, it will really look like a dandy in the world.

"I don't know if a guest is here, what's your business?" Xie Guixin absorbed the aura from his fingertips, poured a cup of tea, and placed it on the opposite table.

Yun Yi swayed on the treetops, raised her hand to grab the tea on the table, sat on the branch, and drank the tea in one gulp. "My little sister ran out of the confinement room and is now missing. The old man asked me to find my elder brother to go back. I heard that my elder brother has been staying with you recently. Can you let him come out to see me?"

Xie Guixin looked up at the person at the top of the tree, raising his eyebrows slightly.The master of Fuyun Sect gave birth to seven children one after another, the oldest Yunxiu and the youngest Yunzhi, except for the old fifth Yune who has gone, there are still six children left, all of them are the favored children of heaven with excellent aptitude.

The man at the top of the tree was dressed in black, sitting cross-legged on the treetop, holding a teacup in his hand.Sitting upright, eyes downcast, staring at the tea in his hand, as if he could see a flower in the quilt.Compared with the Sect Master Yun who always blows up his hair and Miss Yun who draws his sword and cuts people down when he disagrees with him, this one is much calmer and more normal.

"I don't know which son of the Yun family it is?" Xie Guixin raised his hand to play with the teacup in his hand, and the tea water rippled.

"I am ranked fourth, and my name is Yunyi."

"Ah, it turns out to be the Fourth Young Master Yun." Xie Guixin looked at Yun Yi who was still looking down at the teacup in his hand without raising his head, the corners of his lips twitched, "A few days ago, there was a demon cultivator attacking, and Sect Master Yun went to investigate It’s about Moxiu, it’s not in my Mu Yunzong.”

"Then where did my elder brother go?" Yun Yi raised her hand and put the cup on the branch beside it, the bottom of the cup was submerged three points into the tree trunk.And he finally looked up at Xie Guixin, obviously staring at him, but there was nothing in his eyes.

"I don't know." Xie Guixin looked at Yunyi's eyes with great interest, they were dim, like dusty beads, unable to illuminate anything.It's a pity that he was born good-looking, but he was blind. "Sect Master Yun went to investigate the matter, how would I know his whereabouts? If Fourth Young Master has nothing else to do, he can temporarily stay in our Muyun Sect until Sect Master Yun returns."

"No need." Yun Yi stood up, nodded towards Xie Guixin, and when she was about to say something, she suddenly frowned, raised her hand, picked off a leaf beside her, and threw it directly behind Xie Guixin.The sword energy overflowed, cutting off the flowers and plants.There was only a puffing sound, something fell down, Xie Guixin tilted his head slightly, and saw a corpse lying in the grass not far away, wearing the uniform of the Mu Yunzong school, the body and head were separated, and the death was not in peace.

Yun Chen's legs suddenly went limp, and he fell to his knees on the ground, trembling.

Xie Guixin looked at the corpse, walked forward slowly, broke a branch at random, and turned the corpse over. Before he could study it, the corpse turned into a piece of light white paper and scattered into dust.

"Puppet." Yun Yi jumped down from the tree, landed lightly, and pulled up the trembling Yun Chen, "I'm afraid there are many such things in your sect."

Xie Guixin threw the branch in his hand, turned around and looked at Yun Yi, "You may have a feeling who made this puppet?"

"I can't." Yun Yi closed her eyes, "Because I was born blind, after practicing, I can feel the anger of some things, so I can distinguish the difference between puppets and people. I don't know about other things. But I can be sure. What's more, in your sect, there are people from the demon race mixed in."

Yunyi handed Yunchen to Xie Guixin, "Check it out yourself, I'm leaving."

Yun Yi nodded slightly at Xie Guixin, and then just like when he first came out, he jumped up and down and walked straight away.

Xie Guixin looked at the clean puppet that had disappeared not far away, raised his hand and touched his chin, "Puppet."
