Fu Luan

In just a quarter of an hour, Su Zichen's body fell to the ground, his primordial spirit was gone, and his soul was scattered.

Xu Youming withdrew his sword and fought back, and immediately flew to Le Wuyan's side.

Shen Yao seemed to have regained her senses just now, and walked forward in a daze.

Xu Youming held the sword in his hand without sheath, and stood in front of Le Wuyan with a vigilant expression.

Shen Yao didn't look at them, but only saw the corpse lying on the ground. He knelt down beside Su Zichen, stretched out his trembling hand, and stopped at the side of that person's face, wanting to touch it but dare not.

After a long time, he raised his red eyes, looked at Xu Youming, and asked hoarsely, "Why did he become a demon cultivator?"

Xu Youming said in a deep voice: "The evil demon cultivator can hide the fact that the devil's energy is taken away, I have told you before."

Shen Yao was stunned, as if she didn't want to believe it, and said with difficulty: "But he has always been like this, with a gentle temper, since the first day I knew him, it has never changed, how could he be a demon cultivator... "

Xu Youming: "There is a cave under the Lingzhi Garden in your palace. Inside is the place where evil spirits practice. Everything is available. The bones of the children who were taken away by the sea monster are in it. The earliest ones died more than In 15 years, since you built this Shenmeng Palace, he has been taken away by someone."

Shen Yao listened in a daze, as if she didn't understand the meaning of Xu Youming's words, until Xu Youming finished the last sentence, his eyes widened slightly, his throat rolled, and his voice was darker than before: "Your It means that the person I met at the beginning was already taken away by the demon cultivator?"

Xu Youming: "Yes."

Shen Yao said: "After you went to look for Frost Dragon Orchid, I told him about the evil things that the sea monster did, and he suggested to me to kill the sea monster. I didn't think much about it, and followed him. The sea monsters fought for seven or eight days. I originally wanted to save my life and ask what those sea monsters were going to do when they kidnapped the children. But at the last moment, all the sea monsters were killed by him with one move. I thought he was angry."

"Those young children were indeed kidnapped by the sea monster, but they finally appeared in your God's Dream Palace. He colluded with the sea monster. He was afraid that the matter would be revealed, so he acted first." Xu Youming said.

Shen Yao listened in a daze, with tears streaming down her face: "So I devoted half my life to fighting demons and defending the Tao, but in the end, I couldn't even tell whether the person next to my bed was a demon or a demon. It became a big joke to live as a minion and help a tyrant. "

"For him to leave the sect, I gave up my long-cherished wish of wandering around, slaying demons and demons, and settled in this desolate snowy land. Why?"

"I've killed so many demon cultivators, but why can't I recognize him, the person closest to me? I've been lied to by him for more than ten years! I didn't find out at all, not even a trace of suspicion , I trust him with all my heart, it’s all fake in the end, it’s all fake! What am I doing, what am I doing, haha, haha..."

When it came to the end, Shen Yao seemed to have completely lost her composure, lost all reason, cried and laughed, and almost collapsed.

Seeing that he was about to commit suicide by raising his sword, Xu Youming immediately released his spiritual power and knocked the sword away in his hand.

The long sword fell to the ground again, Shen Yao's empty eyes were filled with dead silence, a ball of golden and white spiritual energy covered his face, he raised his eyelids with difficulty, and after a few breaths, he closed his eyes and passed out.

"Brother!"

Su Ziyang stumbled over and saw his elder brother destroying the body of Yuanshen, he fell to his knees in astonishment.

Weep loudly.

Le Wuyan frowned, Shen Yao's reaction seemed normal, but he always felt strange.

Inexplicable, perhaps some kind of intuition of his.

Looking at the people around him again, seeing Xu Youming's face sinking like water, he held back his words.

Xie Shigu raised his eyebrows: "It's actually like this, is it really unexpected?"

Le Wuyan ignored him, but there was a voice in his heart asking,...is that all?

When Shen Yao woke up again, she had regained her composure, comforted Su Ziyang and everyone in Shenmeng Palace, and then went to destroy the underground cave of Lingzhi Garden with her own hands.He left Xu Youming to speak alone, while Le Wuyan and the others waited outside the hall.

The colorful lights are still hanging high on the square, and the wine case has not been removed, but it is already a mess.

Le Wuyan remained silent, folded his arms and patiently waited for Xu Youming to come out.

Xie Shigu suddenly asked him: "Madam thinks that Palace Master Shen really doesn't know anything about it?"

"I don't know." Le Wuyan said coldly.

Qin Ziyu heard the words and said: "Her Majesty Yulin used to take it as his mission to eliminate demons and defend the way, punish evil and promote good. If he knew that the person next to his bed was an evil cultivator, how could he tolerate it?"

"You also said that you are the person next to your pillow." Xie Shigu bit these words, "Even when saints are partial, gods will also be disturbed by emotions and desires. Who can guarantee that he will face the person next to him?" At this time, can you raise the knife and drop it without any grievances?"

Le Wuyan scoffed, "Are you talking about yourself?"

Xie Shigu smiled cheekily: "Thank you Madam for your compliment."

Qin Ziyu showed hesitation: "...But even so, as long as he doesn't admit it, you have nothing to do with him."

Xie Shigu shook the fan in his hand: "Yes, there is no way."

When Xu Youming came out, it was almost evening.

Le Wuyan wanted to ask, but he opened his mouth first: "Let's go, we should go back, and we have to send Frost Dragon Orchid back as soon as possible."

Shen Yao stepped out of the hall, her pale face was still without a trace of blood, but she was still wearing the bright red dress, which made his already thin figure even thinner, as if he was about to crumble at any time.

Xu Youming turned around and cupped his hands with him, expressing his intention to leave.

Shen Yao nodded lightly and sent them to the snowy border.

There is no parting message, and there is nothing to say, so let's say goodbye.

When boarding the flying spirit weapon, Le Wuyan looked back for the last time, Shen Yao lowered her eyes to stare at the snow on her toes, her lonely figure was dragged by the afterglow of the sun.

I can't see his expression clearly, only the tight jaw line can be vaguely seen, revealing that he may not be as sad as he appears on the surface, but seems to be secretly enduring some kind of emotion, and the secrets inside are all being brought to life. Depressed.

After entering the cabin, Le Wuyan asked Xu Youming: "What did he tell you?"

Xu Youming said: "Tell me how he got acquainted with Su Zichen, and all the things he got along with these years. Su Zichen's temperament is not as bloodthirsty and violent as ordinary demon cultivators, so he pretends to be very good. Never thought about it.”

Le Wuyan: "What do the Immortals think?"

Xu Youming pondered for a moment, and said, "It's hard to say."

Le Wuyan: "It's still hard to say?"

Xu Youming: "I asked him if he would like to go back to the sect, but he refused, saying that he would stay in God's Dream Palace first, and if there were other demon cultivators mixed into God's Dream Palace, he would deal with it himself, and maybe he would travel again later. Quartet, continue the previous ambition, count as atonement."

Shen Yao has nothing to criticize from his attitude to his words. It is indeed as Qin Ziyu said, as long as he does not admit it, they will have nothing to do with him.

But if it is said that he has no doubts about him, not only Le Wuyan sneers, but even Xu Youming, a junior of the same sect, does not believe it.

Le Wuyan said: "Although the two of them have not formally formed a contract, they have been in love for more than ten years, and they have practiced together in closed doors. How did Su Zichen hide it from him and do these treacherous things alone?"

Xu Youming explained: "He is also a swordsman. When he practiced swords, he was alone in the cave on the side of the cave, and he was a swordsman. He often didn't come out for seven or eight days after thinking about the way of swordsmanship. Su Zichen took this opportunity to go out. What to do, he may not know."

Le Wuyan asked curiously: "So what the Immortal Venerable meant, did you believe what he said?"

Xu Youming: "That's not the case."

Nothing he said was emotionally charged, just proposing all the possibilities.

Le Wuyan: "What else did he say?"

Xu Youming: "Let me not tell his senior brother, Venerable Yuzhen, to say goodbye to him with no face."

Le Wuyan sighed again for a moment, remained silent for a while, and asked the people around him: "Does the Immortal think he did the right thing today?"

Xu Youming turned to look at him.

Le Wuyan: "We went to the snowy area to find Frost Dragon Orchid, so we shouldn't have to be nosy, but now that we have killed that Su Zichen, if Venerable Yulin really knew about it, maybe he will hate you and me from then on. .”

Xu Youming: "Worried?"

Le Wuyan shook his head slightly: "His cultivation is far behind yours, so why worry, but..."

Xu Youming quietly waited for him to continue. Le Wuyan pursed his lips and said, "In the eyes of outsiders, there is no difference between Su Zichen and the Xiaoyao Mountain devil, right? They may still think that Su Zichen is far inferior to him." The devil is abominable, he and Shen Yao lived in the snowy region, except for occasionally killing a few children, he did nothing else, but the devil, he wiped out all the Feisha sects as soon as he made a move, he is truly outraged by heaven and earth."

Xu Youming: "Do you care what other people think?"

Le Wuyan: "Why do I care about others?"

He just felt uncomfortable, if it wasn't for Xu Youming's insistence, he really didn't want to meddle in this nosy business.

He himself has no position.

Xu Youming said: "Saints are also partial."

Le Wuyan snorted softly: "Don't say the same thing as Xie Shigu, I don't want to hear it."

Xu Youming: "It's the truth."

Le Wuyan: "What about you? What if you were Venerable Yulin and knew about it long ago? Would you kill relatives righteously?"

"No." Xu Youming lowered his voice.

There was no hesitation in his words, and he didn't show anything for Le Wuyan. If he didn't know it, he wouldn't. If he was the Taoist partner he identified, even if the other party was really heinous, he would protect him to the end.

Le Wuyan was taken aback for a moment, and finally laughed. He should have guessed a long time ago, how could it be possible for a personality like Xu Youming to take his life for the sake of the so-called righteousness of the common people.

Xu Youming gently held his hand and stopped talking.

Later, Qin Ziyu came over and asked if he should go directly to the sect.

The two of them haven't decided yet, Xie Shigu came over and said, "Isn't Madam going to enter the half-immortal realm? There is still one month until the gate of the half-immortal realm opens. You guys go back to the sect and come and go." How much time will be wasted? Why don’t you go directly to Qincheng, send a message to Venerable Huaiyuan on the way, and let him send someone to pick up Frost Dragon Orchid on the way, most of the people must have gone to the Southland by now after the competition is over. Ma'am, it's better not to fall behind."

Le Wuyan said strangely: "This matter seems to have nothing to do with you, right? Why are you so active? Do you care if we go back to the sect or go directly to Qincheng?"

Xie Shigu smiled: "It's not completely irrelevant, I want to invite the two of you to the Supreme Immortal League as guests, if you go directly to the Southland, you can drop by."

The Northland is closer to the Central Continent. It is the shortest way to go to the Central Continent first, and then to the Southland. If they go directly to Qincheng, they should really go this way.

but……

Le Wuyan seemed to be listening to a joke: "Why are we going to your Supreme Immortal League as a guest? Last time you took Little Peony and held a grand banquet, what do you want to do this time?"

"You don't have to go," Xie Shigu said bluntly, "Just lend me the little peony for a few days."

Qin Ziyu's face changed instantly, and Le Wuyan immediately refused: "What do you think of Little Peony? What do you mean by borrowing you for a few days? He is a human being, not something you want to go to just because it's fun."

Xie Shigu insisted: "I just want to confirm one thing, and I won't delay your time, let alone embarrass him."

Le Wuyan: "No borrowing."

Xie Shigu directly ignored him, and his eyes fell on Qin Ziyu: "Follow me to the Supreme Immortal League."

Qin Ziyu was silent for a while, and replied: "Sorry, I don't want to go."

Xie Shigu's face darkened, Qin Ziyu looked away and insisted on not changing his words.

After a moment of stalemate, Xie Shigu turned around and left, Le Wuyan scolded, "What the hell."

I don't know why this person followed them to the Northland.

Qin Ziyu absent-mindedly said a few words to Le Wuyan, and also retreated.

As soon as he walked out, Xie Shigu grabbed him with one hand and dragged him to the next door.

Slamming the door, Xie Shigu pressed him against the door panel, raised his hand and squeezed his jaw forcefully: "If you didn't pay attention in the morning, you don't plan to talk to me now, do you?"

Qin Ziyu didn't avoid Xie Shigu's gaze, saw the shadow of his own distress in Xie Shigu's eyes, and said after a while, "Let me go."

Xie Shigu: "Do you regret it?"

Qin Ziyu closed his eyes: "...I don't want to do this, I don't want to."

Xie Shigu's breath bullied him and lowered his voice: "I don't want to either, but there is no way."

"So should we go back to the sect first, or go directly to the South?" Le Wuyan asked the same question to the people around him.

Xu Youming said: "I'll send a sound transmission to senior brother in a while, and ask him to send someone to pick up Frost Dragon Orchid, and we'll go directly to the Southland."

Le Wuyan: "Is it so urgent?"

Xu Youming: "Go early, good morning, you will know when you arrive in Qincheng."

Well, Le Wuyan didn't bother to think about it anymore, and lay down on Xu Youming's lap.

Xu Youming looked down at him: "Not practicing?"

Le Wuyan: "Let's talk about it tomorrow."

Xu Youming saw that he was in a bad mood, so he let it go and didn't mention cultivation anymore.

"What are you thinking about?"

Le Wuyan closed his eyes, and when Shen Yao looked at Su Zichen for the last time, those eyes that were wide open and weeping came back to his mind.

Although he was also the one who shot the murderer.

Facing Xu Youming's worried eyes on him, Le Wuyan forced a smile: "We are quite lucky."

Xu Youming: "...um."

His palm lightly covered Le Wuyan's eyes, and his thick eyelashes brushed against his palm, trembling slightly.

"Don't think too much." Xu Youming said.

Le Wuyan exhaled lightly.

Forget it, he was still the same as before, not thinking about anything, but more at ease.

Sentimentality really didn't suit him.
