The bright moon was thousands of miles away, and the shadows of the trees were whirling. Xue Yao and Shen Zhaobi walked between the courtyard walls at high speed one after the other.

Xue Yao looked directly at the erratic blue shadow in front of him, and said coldly, "Going east."

As soon as he finished speaking, his figure had already flashed ten feet away.

Shen Zhaobi's speed slowed down, and she fell far behind Xue Yao, obviously exhausted.She nodded when she heard the words, but didn't speak, worried that she would vent her anger once she opened her mouth.

Xue Yao stopped suddenly, and stood on the ridge with his hands behind his back, staring ahead.The night wind blew his sleeves, and Xue Yao stood silently under the moonlight, as if he would ride the wind away in the next moment.

He didn't know what the strange blue shadow in front of him was, but his instinct told him that it was dangerous.

Shen Zhaobi rushed to Xue Yao with a sigh of relief. Xue Yao looked away, turned around and said to her: "Zhaobi, you go back to Qingxintang first. Stop by the Sanmai Cottage and inform Yanqing."

"No, why don't I go with you..."

Before Shen Zhaobi finished speaking, a black shadow suddenly flashed in front of her eyes.When she came back to her senses, Xue Yao had long since disappeared.

Shen Zhaobi looked at the direction Xue Yao was leaving, stomped his feet angrily, turned around and rushed to the Samadhi Cottage.

Things should start from the evening of this day.After dinner, Shen Zhaobi came to visit Xue Yao as usual. Since the two reunited in Jialou Mountain, Shen Zhaobi appeared in Qingxin Hall on time every day, which was even more punctual than dealing with Huo Qingquan.

As soon as she entered the front hall, she saw Chongxue gesticulating in the hall with a small wooden sword in her hand.Xue Yao sat cross-legged on a chair leisurely, holding an idle book in his hand and read intently, occasionally raising his eyes to point Chongxue a few words.

"Here we come." Seeing Shen Zhaobi entering the door, Xue Yao greeted casually, "Come and sit."

Shen Zhaobi randomly picked a seat under Xue Yao and sat down, watching Chongxue clumsily gesturing with great interest.She suddenly remembered that she still had a good Hidden Sword in her house, and she could bring it to her as a gift someday.

"Have you heard?" Shen Zhaobi turned to Xue Yao and said, "Another person died today, so it is already number 12."

As soon as the vertical pupil incident came out, it was widely circulated on Jialou Mountain overnight.All kinds of rumors intensified, and the disciples were worried and anxious all day long.Even Xue Yao, who was far away in Qingxintang, had heard of it a little bit.

"Oh?" Xue Yao put down the book upon hearing this, and asked curiously, "Who was killed this time?"

"It's Bian Jie, a disciple of Elder Qi Ying." Shen Zhaobi said.

Bian Jie Xue Yao, who is under Elder Qi Ying's sect, has seen him before. Although he is a bit domineering, he has a good cultivation level, and he did not expect to be murdered like this.

At this moment, a blue shadow quickly passed by outside the door, like a huge burning will-o'-the-wisp.Before Shen Zhaobi realized what happened, Xue Yao had already picked up his body and chased after him like a gust of wind.

The whispering wind interrupted Shen Zhaobi's thoughts.This blue shadow came strangely, I don't know if Xue Yao can handle it alone.Shen Zhaobi was thinking anxiously in his heart, he couldn't help speeding up his pace, and hurried to the Samadhi thatched cottage.

When passing by the Nhat Hanh Temple, Shen Zhaobi saw a red shadow flashing out from the door, she fixed her eyes and saw that it was Huo Qingquan, and the two met each other unexpectedly.

The name of Yixing Chanyuan seems to be a Buddhist temple, but it is actually the place where the disciples of Jiutianmen lived. I don't know why Huo Qingquan appeared here.

Seeing Shen Zhaobi coming towards him, Huo Qingquan said in surprise, "Zhaobi, why did you appear here?"

Shen Zhaobi thought that asking Huo Qingquan for help might be an urgent need, so he said: "Elder Huo, just now I found a suspicious blue figure in Qingxintang, suspected to be related to Shutong..."

Unexpectedly, Huo Qingquan also came here for this matter, she interrupted Shen Zhaobi, changed her usual lazy look and said neatly: "You came just in time, go and find Qi Ying, I just saw something going east. "

As she spoke, she left Shen Zhaobi and chased in the direction Shen Zhaobi came from alone.

Xue Yao saw the blue shadow fall into the execution hall, so he jumped to follow.

Although the blue shadow has no entity and its whereabouts are erratic, it moves extremely fast.Xue Yao watched it disappear into the torture hall.

Seeing this, Xue Yao jumped in through the window together.

The punishment hall is the place where Jiutianmen is in charge of punishment on weekdays, and the ancestor spirit tablets of Jiutianmen are enshrined in the main hall.On weekdays, it is full of ghosts and inaccessible, but it is a good place to kill and rob.

As soon as Xue Yaofu landed, all the ever-burning candles in the hall were extinguished at once.At this time, the moon was shining brightly outside the window, and the ground was full of silver light, but the hall was suddenly plunged into a thick darkness, and even the window he jumped in just now had disappeared for no reason.

Xue Yao's cultivation base is deep and his eyesight is excellent, but right now he can't see at all.The darkness in front of him was obviously not caused by the extinguishing of several rows of candles. After his eyes got used to the sudden darkness, he still couldn't see the outline of his surroundings.

It turned out to be waiting for me here.Xue Yao sneered in his heart. In the darkness, he simply abandoned his vision and walked forward relying on his hearing and previous memories.

Xue Yao walked for a while, but still did not walk out of the hall. The punishment hall at this time was much larger than he had imagined.Xue Yao realized that he might not be in the torture hall at this moment, but had entered a different world with Lan Ying.

People have five senses, and the other four senses become extremely sensitive when they lose their eyesight. Xue Yao noticed that there seemed to be an air flow not far away, so he stopped immediately and quickly hid his breath.

However, it was still a step too late, a rapid piercing sound came from the depths of the darkness, and a short knife pierced through the boundless darkness and accurately hit his throat.

The cold blade had already reached his throat, but Xue Yao couldn't see anyone in front of him.

At the critical moment, Xue Yao leaned back in the direction of the blade's attack, narrowly avoiding the fatal blow.Xue Yao jumped back with his hands on the ground, and the moment he landed, he drew out his Shaoxiu sword, parrying the opponent's successive killing moves.

The internal strength of the comer was extremely domineering, and Xue Yao was not to be outdone. The moment they met hand-to-hand, the two knew that the other's strength should not be underestimated.

The victory or defeat of a master's fight is always in a flash, and in the dark, neither of them intends to give the other a chance to breathe.After they both landed on the ground, the two of them bullied themselves again almost at the same time, performing a hundred or ten moves in the air like lightning.The surrounding wind rose from the ground, and the swords and swords clashed harshly, but they still couldn't break through the dark night.

Although the two sides are currently fighting inseparably, Xue Yao knows in his heart that this person has a very high level of cultivation and extremely strong internal strength.I am not his opponent at all, and I will be exposed if I don't do fifty moves.

This battle needs to be resolved quickly, and it will not benefit you if you continue to fight.Thinking so in Yao's mind, his body had already reacted one step earlier than his brain. He paused on his feet, turned around and quickly approached the opponent.

At this moment, the opponent's original fierce killing move suddenly slowed down, and Xue Yao seized the opportunity to stab the opponent's chest with his sword.The visitor turned around and passed Xue Yao face to face, his warm breath fell on Xue Yao's face.

Xue Yao was taken aback, the other party was a living person.The next moment Xue Yao laughed silently.Since he is a living person, there is no reason why he cannot be defeated.Xue Yao took advantage of the victory and pursued him. With a twist of the sword in his hand, he went straight after the opponent.

A muffled groan sounded in the darkness, followed by a faint smell of blood.

This voice made Xue Yao's body freeze, and the arrogance all over his body instantly weakened. He was a little uncertain whether the voice just now came from the other party or from his own heart.This ghostly place is very treacherous, and it is not certain that there will be any harmful tricks that make people fall into hallucinations.

Although thinking so in his heart, Xue Yao still took a step forward.He hesitated and asked, "Lin Jinhuan?"

After a while, the person in the darkness opened his mouth, and he said two words lightly: "It's me."

It was indeed Lin Jinhuan's voice, but his voice was a little unstable.

Have you really hallucinated?Xue Yao stopped in his tracks and did not move forward. He stared blankly at a point in the darkness and wondered.

For a while, neither of them spoke, and the atmosphere suddenly fell into a strange silence.Lin Jinhuan was the first to break the awkward atmosphere, he asked nonchalantly in the dark: "Why are you here?"

Obviously Lin Jinhuan also recognized Xue Yao.

It was only then that Xue Yao came back to his senses from the strange power in his head, and he remembered the warm breath falling on his face.Although his rationality told him that this matter was suspicious, his heart had already determined in advance that what he was seeing was not an illusion, but the real Lin Jinhuan.

For a moment, many words rushed into his throat, blocking him speechless, and finally he asked: "Are you back?"

"It's been a while since I've been back." Lin Jinhuan put away his dagger, looked around and said, "Let's find a way to go out first, it's not suitable to stay here for a long time."

At this moment, there was the sound of uniform footsteps in the distance, and someone was rushing here.The darkness in front of him seemed to have turned into a spirit, fleeing away with the arrival of a large group of people in the distance.The moonlight tore through the thick night and spilled in from the window again, Xue Yao's vision gradually recovered.

He finally saw the person in front of him clearly.

Lin Jinhuan stood in front of Xue Yao with his hands down, without saying a word, exuding the calmness of the ancient well.The moonlight shone softly on his face, Lin Jinhuan turned a deaf ear to the movement around him, he just looked at Xue Yao quietly.Those jade-like eyes had not yet had time to light up a smile, and still carried a cold light that repulsed people thousands of miles away.

Lin Jinhuan had only been down the mountain for a few months, but Xue Yao felt that he had been parted from him for a long time.Xue Yao looked at Lin Jinhuan's face, and all kinds of thoughts popped up in his mind.

Xue Yao forced his gaze away from Lin Jinhuan's face, and landed on his bloody sleeve. The blood was dripping down Lin Jinhuan's fingertips.

"Your hand..." Xue Yao subconsciously stretched out his hand to grab Lin Jinhuan's arm, but Lin Jinhuan dodged it calmly.

Lin Jinhuan took a step back, looked down at the wound on his arm, raised his hand to touch a few big acupuncture points, and said, "Skin wounds, it's okay."

Xue Yao's raised hand paused in mid-air, and then slowly lowered it down.

At this moment, the door of the main hall was pushed open, and Yan Qing rushed in with a group of people, along with Qi Ying and Huo Qingquan.It turned out that the two had just walked in the dark for so long, but they were still in the torture hall.

When the visitor saw Lin Jinhuan standing in the room with blood on his hands, he panicked, and the people in the hall immediately knelt on the floor.

"The subordinate is late, the little sect master forgives me."

"Get up." Lin Jinhuan waved his hands indifferently, and then said: "The thing has not gone far, Qi Ying and Huo Qingquan continue to lead people to chase east. Yanqing leads people to follow me to the northeast."

"Go back to Qingxintang first." Lin Jinhuan turned sideways and whispered to Xue Yao.

Qi Ying and Huo Qingquan led the people to scatter, Yanqing saw that Lin Jinhuan's hands were covered with blood, and refused to say anything. He continued to personally lead people to track down the blue shadow.Lin Jinhuan couldn't stand Yanqing's nagging mouth, so he had to go back to Chaoshan Hall surrounded by everyone.

"Wait." Seeing Lin Jinhuan leave just then, Xue Yao stretched out his hand to stop him without thinking too much.Xue Yao said: "Although I don't understand medical principles, I can still deal with ordinary sword wounds. Why don't you follow me to Qingxintang."

As soon as he finished speaking, Xue Yao realized that his reason was really lame, and Jin Yi must have received the news that he was waiting in Chaoshan Hall early.But Lin Jinhuan stopped when he heard the words. He stood in the crowd and watched Xue Yao.

"it is good."
