After a short rest, several people came to the backyard of the inn, intending to buy a few strong horses and leave.

Yu Lian picked out a strong black horse in the farthest corner early on, kicked up neatly, and pulled the rein to make the black horse take two steps back obediently.

Ye Ling picked a gentle mare for Yunqing, and asked her worriedly if she could ride a horse alone.

"Yes!" The girl patted the newly changed coarse cloth clothes, and smiled generously at Ye Ling, "Brother Ye, don't worry!"

Seeing this, Ye Ling felt a little relieved, and went to another place with Jingxi to see the horse.

Yunqing looked at the big horse, which was a head taller than her, panting at her, swallowed quietly, then pulled the saddle and rolled over.

However, because of the erratic movements, the man accidentally pinched the mare's abdomen with his legs as soon as he got on the horse. The girl lost her balance when she cried out, her center of gravity shifted backwards, and her body swayed, making her whole body crumbling.

Yu Lian grabbed the rein to stabilize the horse, with bulging veins on the back of her hand, looked at Yun Qing coldly, "You—"

"It's okay, it's okay! Don't worry about me," Yunqing barely stabilized her body, and looked up with a smile, "I haven't ridden for a long time, and I'm a little unskilled—hey, walk slowly!"

Seeing Yu Lian turned his head and left, Yunqing hurriedly drove his horse to catch up with him, and came to him, looked at Ye Ling Jingxi who was still picking up the horse, and said mysteriously to the young man, "Honestly, don't you? Excuse me, why don't you go in for dinner?"

After saying this, she took out the still warm steamed bun from her bosom and handed it over, "Don't tell me you're not hungry, I've already seen it, you just stared at the steamed stuffed bun every time you turned your head."

"You don't like sweets, do you? I think you only took one bite of what Brother Ye gave you."

The young man holding the rein was taken aback for a moment, looking at the two meat buns in his soft and boneless hands, he said in the end, "Is there any water?"

"Ah? Yes, yes," Yunqing handed over the water bottle hanging on his body, stuffed it into Yu Lian's hands, and said with a smile as if asking for credit, "This is the goat's milk I specially asked for just now. After drinking it, my stomach is filled with water. It's warm, try it, I haven't drunk the pot yet!"

Yu Lian's cold eyes were somewhat vigilant, "You...why are you being nice to me?"

"Only two buns are good for you..." The little girl tilted her head and thought about it, and after a long time, she casually said, "Because you are willing to risk taking me out, of course I have to thank you."

It turned out to be the case.

The young man stuffed the steamed stuffed bun and the kettle back into Yunqing's arms, and rode towards Ye Ling without looking back.

The bewildered girl was left alone, raised her head and drank the goat milk, then took a bite of the steamed stuffed bun, "Why is this man angry again?"

The Witch Clan where Maiden Zhuyu lives is located in the desert of the Western Regions, and there is a desert to go from the small town; usually, as long as there is no sandstorm or strong magnetic field, it can be reached in a few hours.

"Ah, so the desert is so difficult to walk."

Yunqing, who was walking side by side at the end, sighed for a while. Speaking of the last time she came, this place was not completely a desert, and a small oasis could be seen from a distance.

"Human overexploitation has led to the aggravation of deserts."

Ye Ling explained aloud, looked back at Yunqing, thought she was afraid, and comforted her, "As long as we keep walking westward according to the compass, we can reach it without getting dark."

"and many more."

Jing Xi, who had been silent all the way, suddenly spoke.

There seems to be something wrong with the compass in the young man's hand. The tip of the pointer began to tremble continuously. Every time he took a step forward, it turned an inch.

When everyone noticed the clue and came over, the pointer on the turntable began to spin crazily.

Ye Ling murmured, "Strong magnetic field."

In the desert of the Western Regions, compared with the blinding sandstorms, the pervasive strong magnetic field is more dangerous.

When exposed to a strong magnetic field, all direction pointers will lose their effectiveness; not only that, if a person stays in the magnetic field for too long, the blood flow in the body will also be negatively affected.

In short, we still have to get out of here as soon as possible.

Ye Ling glanced at the dancing yellow sand all around, frowned and moved his palms slightly, and the green barrier exuding a faint bamboo fragrance immediately enveloped everyone.

But even so, the pervasive magnetic field can still penetrate the barrier, making the compass useless.

There is no camel trader in the small town, everyone planned to find an intermediate station in the sand to sell the horses, but now the direction is deviated, and the people who don't know the direction at all can only think of other ways.

Jing Xi jumped off the horse, summoned the saber, and said softly, "I'll try to see if I can break through this magnetic field, and go with the sword."

After speaking, the young man's breath changed suddenly, his brows were tightly frowned and Yujian went up, and after a while, he came down from the air, his face softened a little, "Fortunately, we didn't deviate too much, Yujian only needs a stick of incense time."

If you want Yujian to fly, there is another problem.

Yun Qing didn't have the slightest cultivation.

And she is a girl who has not left the cabinet, it is not appropriate for anyone to hug her.

The girl coughed, and her eyes lingered on Jing Xi and Ye Ling who were standing next to each other. Finally, she took a deep breath and pulled Yu Lian's sleeve decisively, not knowing whether to laugh or cry, "Why don't you take me with you ? I promise not to touch you."

Ye Ling thought that Yu Lian would directly refuse, but the young man gave her a disgusted look, and silently summoned the saber that he hadn't used for a long time, and said in a deep voice, "Come up."

The little girl responded with a smile, stood up and shook twice, and hugged Yu Lian's thin waist.

Seeing this, Ye Ling and Jing Xi looked at each other, each summoned their sabers, took the lead to the sky, and looked down at the desert under their feet.

At the end of the line of sight, there is a huge village, oppressive and oppressive, if it is not for some cooking smoke, it seems to be a dead city.

Fortunately, the four of them were flying with swords in the desert. If they were in a crowded town, there would be more disturbances.

Just as Jing Xi expected, the four of them stopped firmly outside the small town after half a stick of incense; it was said to be a small town, but it was actually a huge village; from a distance, it was dark and devoid of human habitation, but a closer look revealed that the city was actually very bustling .

However, unlike the Central Plains, the residents in this village wear black clothes, and the patterns on the clothes are quite different from those in the Central Plains. At first glance, they look a little gloomy.

Matching the color of the clothes, there are pitch-black straw houses, and a dark fire is lit by the roadside.

In front of the gate of the village a few dozen steps away, there were dozens of burly men staring at Ye Ling, the "uninvited guests", with unsuspecting faces.

Yun Qing, who had "flyed" all the way, hadn't slowed down yet, and said to Ye Ling with a pale face, "The Wu Clan is like this, but they are very good people, Brother Ye, don't be afraid."

After speaking, she tried her best to calm her breath, and the girl came to the strong man, took out a jade pendant from her sleeve, and handed it to them.

The black eyes of the leading man lit up, and he said something that he didn't understand excitedly. He knelt down on one knee and presented the jade pendant. After saluting, he came to Ye Ling and the other three, and bowed in a friendly manner.

Although there was a language barrier, fortunately Yunqing was the interpreter, and the three of them were led by a man in a short time, and they arrived at the tallest house in the village without hindrance.

Ye Ling noticed that when they passed through the crowd, many people were chanting incomprehensible spells and holding a palm-sized astrolabe in their hands.

Yunqing explained that these are all wizards trained by her grandmother.

Ye Ling nodded and didn't ask any more questions. It was best to keep silent at this time.

Several people were stopped by two maids in front of the door; they bowed respectfully to Yunqing, opened the black curtain to let her in, but blocked Ye Ling and others from the door.

Jing Xi and Ye Ling looked at each other, the young man held Ye Ling's cool hand, and softly comforted, "Master, don't be afraid."

Yu Lian turned his back to the two of them and faced the open ground, his expression was calm, and he didn't respond to the intimate relationship between the two of them.

After a long time, Yunqing lifted the curtain and came out, smiled peacefully at Ye Ling, and told them they could go in.

"Don't worry, my grandma can speak Central Plains dialect."

"Okay, thank you."

After watching Ye Ling Jingxi go in, Yunqing looked at Yu Lian who had not moved for a long time, and said curiously, "Why don't you go? I thought you also have questions to ask my grandma."

The youth just shook his head.

"I've always had a problem," the girl came to Yu Lian and looked at him with a frown. Her voice was as clear as a bell, which added aura to the lifeless atmosphere. "Why don't you smile? I think you laugh." It should look nice."

The young man's eyes were extremely dark, and he said coldly, "Tired."

The room was pitch black, Ye Ling walked all the way in, and after lifting the curtain in front of him for the third time, he finally saw a candlelight in the corner.

Behind the candlelight was a wrinkled face, expressionless.

This expressionless face has traces of time, only a pair of still sharp eyes are still extremely bright, like a keen falcon in the dark, which makes people shudder.

The old man's old voice sounded in his ears, some blunt Central Plains dialect,

"Xuanqingzong Shuangyue Xianzun, Demon City Demon Lord, please sit down."

The two people who were named looked at each other. They never revealed their identities in the palace, and Yunqing knew nothing about the Jianghu affairs, but this old woman could tell their identities at a glance.

not simple.

"Elder Zhuyu, we do have something to ask for."

The witch smiled sinisterly, her voice was a little weird, "It's about the child in your belly, isn't it?"

Secretly startled, before Ye Ling could speak, the old man seemed to explain to him again, and continued,

"Although the old man doesn't know how you did it, the Immortal Venerable should know that your current body is neither a human body, nor can it match the strength of a demon."

"You came to see the old man because you saved the child in your womb, right?"

In the darkness, Ye Ling felt Jing Xi's body stiffen for a moment, reached out and patted the back of the young man's hand comfortingly, and nodded firmly at the old man.

"I heard from Yunqing that you have solved similar problems before, so we came here to ask for advice."

"I can't talk about asking for advice, it's up to you guys," the old man suddenly shifted his gaze up to Jing Xi, narrowed his eyes to examine him, and then asked word by word,

"Are you willing to sign a contract with him?"
