There are bandits in Zhongshan

Not long after the news of Guan Yan's arrival and killing of evil sword cultivators was sent back, Mo Qiyu received an urgent letter from Mo Chenxiang, with only two words on it: Quickly return.

He didn't read it a second time, and immediately ordered his men to leave.

It's too dangerous here - after Guan Yan set a precedent, more and more masters came, and they all wanted to solve their opponents in advance.

Nanming Villa inherits Zhenbao Pavilion's style of treating people as equals regardless of righteousness and evil. Private fighting is strictly prohibited in the villa, but it does not control the vast ice field outside the villa. Therefore, if monks of different forces meet outside the villa, they often forget the new and old grudges together. .

In less than half a month, more than 20 monks were killed. A few days ago, even a monk who transformed himself into a god was besieged and seriously injured.

He is only a Jindan cultivator, and among the few subordinates who came with him, only the late Nascent Soul is the highest. Now the Supreme Seven Profound Palace is isolated by the righteous way, and it is in chaos. Although he did not show his identity when he came, he still cannot avoid fear I am afraid that the fire will burn myself.

In fact, he planned to leave early in the morning, but when he thought that this was Mo Chenxiang's request, he gave up the idea of ​​running away.

For so many years, Mo Chenxiang has shouldered the heavy burden of revitalizing the Supreme Seven Profound Palace alone. It can be said that he has been tempered. I don’t know how many times his life and death have been on the line. He, the young palace master, has never suffered at all. It is rare to do something now. Wouldn't it be ridiculous to give up halfway, so although he was complaining in his heart, he still bit the bullet and continued to stay.

Now that he got Mo Chenxiang's password, how could he stay longer, he wished he could fly back to Yuehua Mountain with his wings, and in the blink of an eye, he led a group of people out of the gate of Nanming Villa.

It was still windy and snowy outside, but his mood was completely different from when he came here. He was very happy, but his relaxation did not last long, and he left the villa for about two miles when he saw several monks coming towards him with swords. There are often blizzards in the sky, and the monks usually choose to walk instead of using the sword, but the few monks seem to be completely unafraid of the flying sword getting out of control, and they all try their best to race against time.

The one who caught a glimpse of Mo Qiyu couldn't help but pull him onto the flying sword and lead him to the villa together.That man was a Nascent Soul cultivator, and capturing him, a Golden Core cultivator, was just a matter of convenience.Before Mo Qiyu could react, he entered the barrier at the gate of Nanming Villa again.

"What are you doing!" As soon as he stood firmly, he hurriedly broke free from the man's grasp, his eyes almost burst into flames.

But he just waved his hand like this, and the man was pushed to the ground. Mo Qiyu didn't expect that the other party would be so useless, so he was startled. When he looked closely, he saw that the man's body was stained with blood, and he was seriously injured. He only heard him intermittently saying: "Outside, outside, there are monsters."

Just finished speaking and passed out.

"Monster?" Mo Qiyu didn't believe it, "I was fine when I came here, why for no reason——"

But when he saw the appearance of the monk's wound, his face turned pale.

The wound was turned outwards, exuding a dark miasma, which was indeed the work of a monster.Looking at the other monks, they were all bruised, and one even had a broken arm, but Mo Qiyu didn't notice it at first because he was wearing a cloak.

Those who can cross the ice field are all monks with a cultivation base of Nascent Soul and above, but the monster chased them like dogs that lost their homes and ran for their lives.

He stared blankly at the bloody and severed limbs, and suddenly shivered.

"Monster?" There was a hint of shock on Mu Yun's face.

Over the past hundred years, only two or three monsters have sporadically appeared around the villa, and they wandered here unintentionally.This was the first time that such groups appeared in groups.

The few monks Mo Qiyu met also came for the Cangwu Sword, a group of 12 people, but halfway they were attacked by a small group of monsters that looked like snow wolves, seven of them were killed, and the remaining five tried to escape Fortunately, he was not far from Nanming Villa at that time, so he was able to save his life.

"Could it be that too many monks have come recently, which has alarmed the monsters dormant in Shuo Yuan?" one of the subordinates asked.

Mu Yun thought for a moment, then shook his head: "When Nanming Villa was built, there was even more movement, and no monsters were attracted."

Zhong Mingzhu is very familiar with Shuo Yuan, and this position was chosen by her.Mu Yun remembered that Zhong Mingzhu said that there are indeed monsters haunting other places in Shuoyuan, but most of them are concentrated in extremely distant places. The place where Nanming Villa is located has no living beings for thousands of miles, and the spiritual power is also very scarce, so they cannot be attracted. monster.

Suddenly a black tit came crashing into the door, but it was Xuan Yu.

She landed directly on the stove in Mu Yun's hand, spread her wings and lay down on it, and pecked Mu Yun's fingers to make room for her, then rubbed her fingers, and sighed comfortably: "It's so warm." .”

The crisp sound like a bell is very nice.

The people in the room recognized that it was the demon cultivator who often came to look for Muyun, so they tacitly turned a blind eye to her presumptuousness.

Mu Yun knew that Xuan Yu would not appear here for no reason, so he said to his subordinates: "Well, you go and see if anyone else has encountered monsters on the way, and we will discuss the rest later."

After her subordinates retreated, she smiled slightly, rubbed Xuan Yu's head, and said, "Why are you here? Chi Yu is not with you?"

When Fufenglin was recuperating, Xuan Yu and Chi Yu often came uninvited, chatting non-stop, and after a long time, she naturally developed a little closeness. She was always on guard against Zhong Mingzhu, but in the face of this Two small tits will unconsciously soften up.

The bird family is not cold-resistant, and Xuanyu's feathers were still covered with snow flakes before he entered the door, it was obvious that he had been flying all the way and was terribly cold.

"Akabane is still at Mr. Bamboo's place. I wanted to come to Shuoyuan to see something, so I followed the Lord, but just now she said that it's not safe outside now, and let me hide with Big Sister for a while." Speaking of this, she was a little aggrieved He waved his wings, "I was left ten miles away even though it was not safe, and the wind was so strong that my wings were almost broken!"

"Is it a monster?"

Xuan Yu nodded. At this time, she was warm enough, so she flew to the ground and continued as a young girl, "My lord said that there are almost no monsters in this area. There must be troubles elsewhere. She has already gone to Look, and she said—" She imitated Zhong Mingzhu's tone, "If you don't want to give rations to the monsters, remember to call back the gang of idiots who investigated the rift."

Mu Yun frowned: "The rift valley is in the southeast, almost close to Tianyu Mountain, and there are corpses of monsters in the rift valley, so will it be affected?"

"I don't know either, but since the lord said so, she has her reasons." Xuan Yu followed Zhong Mingzhu since she was a child and trusted her extremely.

Mu Yun pondered for a moment, then nodded, "Thank you for reminding me, I will arrange it as soon as possible."

Afterwards, she settled Xuan Yu first, and then sent a signal to recall the monks outside, and sent a letter back to Yan Yi, dispatching experts from Zhenbao Pavilion to Nanming Villa.

The news that there were monsters hurting people in Shuoyuan soon spread throughout Nanming Villa.

In this way, both internal and external troubles were prepared, and the atmosphere in the villa became a little more tense.Fortunately, Nanming Mountain Villa had a strong barrier and there were many masters of transforming spirits, so the situation was not chaotic.

It's just that Mo Qiyu couldn't leave for a while.Those 12 people are all masters in the middle and late stages of Nascent Soul, and most of them were still killed or injured. If it were him, they might not even be able to escape.He could only go back to the inn, praying that Mo Chenxiang would come over to rescue him soon.

While people in Nanming Villa were panicking, a group of people who were slowly moving forward in Tianyu Canyon didn't know that the great changes had taken place in Shuoyuan. They looked relaxed and had nothing to worry about except the cold.

There were more than twenty people in total. In the middle was a handsome young man who seemed to be the leader of the group. Behind him was a petite woman wearing a thick cloak. It is not lightly cold, and it is necessary to twist the formula from time to time to get rid of the cold air on the body.

"How long is it?" Finally, she couldn't help asking, her voice was clear and pleasant.

"Walking is no better than Yujian, and we haven't crossed the canyon yet." The young man was a little annoyed, "I guess it will take another day."

"So long..." The girl stuck out her tongue, "I looked at the map and thought it would take at most three days."

"I told you not to follow me a long time ago." The young man put on a straight face, as if he wanted to take the opportunity to reprimand him, but his eyes fell on the girl's face, and his tone softened, "Sister, hold on for a few more days, and arrive at Nanming Villa. I'll pick a good magic weapon for you."

"Hmph, I don't care, it's just a little cold." The girl curled her lips, and her tone was quite dissatisfied, but in the next moment, a bit of sadness flashed in her expression, "Yunfu Mountain is also a world of ice and snow."

These two are brothers and sisters Ding Lingfeng and Ding Lingyun. Like other monks who traveled thousands of miles to Nanming Villa, they also came because of the Cangwu Sword, but their purpose was different.

When Tianyi's accident happened, Fenghailou did not tell Ding Lingyun the truth, only that his master called him back to discuss important matters. It was not until the evil way besieged Yunfu Mountain that Ding Lingyun knew about the great change in the door. He wanted to go back but was detained by his father and brother.Later, when she managed to find an opportunity to sneak back to Yunfu Mountain, the place was sealed by ice and snow.

Fast forward more than 300 years, she has never heard any news about Tian Yizong, and the jade document that she has been carrying with her has gradually become more and more a decoration.

But even so, she has never untied the jade document, and has been inquiring about Tian Yizong's movements for many years. After hearing the news of the reappearance of the Cangwu Sword, she feels that this matter is very likely to alarm Tian Yizong. , and insisted on coming.

Ding Lingfeng knew that she had always been critical of what happened back then, and knew her temper well. He knew that if she did not agree, Ding Lingyun might sneak there alone. My sister has a knot in my heart.So I agreed.

Although Ding Lingyun has not yet formed a Nascent Soul, but with the protection of the fire robe, Ding Lingfeng thought that nothing would happen.Unexpectedly, the climate here is worse than imagined. Seeing his sister resisting the cold, he regrets it.It's just that if he changes his mind now, Ding Lingyun will definitely not let him go.He could only slow down his pace a little, so although the group set off early, they spent a lot more time in Tianyu Canyon than other monks.

Seeing that the sky was getting dark and the night was several times colder than the day, Ding Lingfeng was thinking whether to stop and rest for a while, when he suddenly felt a strong evil spirit coming from ahead.

"Not good! Prepare for battle!" He shouted immediately, and then pulled Ding Lingyun past him, and drew out the spirit sword with the other hand, and opened the barrier to protect the two of them airtightly.

Rusting sounds came from all directions, and the fluffy snow soon appeared many arches, and they quickly approached them. When they got close to several feet away, they saw a group of black shadows rushing out from under the snow, drawing a line The cold light rushed towards Ding Lingfeng like a sharp arrow.

Ding Lingfeng followed his father to practice family-inherited exercises since he was a child, and his cultivation was quite pure. The black shadow casted extremely fast, but his movements were even faster. With a swing of the long sword, the black shadow was split into two , was still twitching when it fell to the ground, but it couldn't pose any more threats.

It was an ice-blue scorpion, with a weird purple tinge on the sharp needles on its tail, obviously highly poisonous.

"Be careful, it's poisonous." Ding Lingfeng hurriedly reminded, but it was a bit late, and before he finished speaking, he heard a miserable cry from one of his subordinates.

I saw that man fell down clutching his neck, when he fell down, his spiritual sea collapsed, his body turned into dust after a while, and those monsters rushed up and began to scramble to devour the scattered spiritual power.

Seeing this, Ding Lingyun's complexion became paler. It was the first time she saw someone die in front of her.When Sui Tian went down the mountain to suppress demons, she was protected by Lu Wangchen, and she didn't even pull out the spirit sword a few times.

"Ah!" Another subordinate was injured, blood poured out from the wound, and carved a dark red mark on the snow. The smell of blood mixed with the evil spirit was disgusting.Ding Lingyun stared blankly at the miasma-emanating monsters, felt cold on the soles of his feet, and trembled involuntarily with the hand that was trying to get the spirit sword.

"Why do monsters suddenly appear here?" Ding Lingfeng said anxiously. Most of those monsters are snakes and insects. They are not powerful, but there are too many of them, and many of them are poisonous. A little carelessness can kill them You, seeing that many of his subordinates had been injured, he knew that procrastination would be fatal, so he chanted a mantra and swung a fire dragon, saying: "Go!" Then he pulled Ding Lingyun onto the flying sword, and rushed after the fire dragon Surrounded by monsters, his subordinates followed after seeing this.

With the help of flying swords, they distanced themselves from the monster beasts at once, but those monster beasts were not willing to let go of the prey that was at their fingertips, and they followed closely below. Under the night, the situation was terrifying.

The wind in the canyon was extremely strong, and Yu Jian was prone to accidents. Not long after, two of his subordinates were blown to the ground by the strong wind, and they were swallowed by monsters before they even had time to call for help.

Ding Lingfeng gritted his teeth and didn't look back, for fear that he would lose his balance if he slackened slightly. Not far ahead was the exit of the canyon. He could already see the open ice field and the mirror-like lake on the ice. When the water stopped those snakes, insects and monsters, a silver-white figure suddenly flashed in front of his eyes, and a more intense monster aura surged in than before. He heard Ding Lingyun scream behind him, and the next moment he felt a pain in his arm, his body Immediately, it flew out like a kite with a broken string, and fell heavily on the ice with Ding Lingyun.

The one who injured him was a snow wolf as tall as a man, with tyranny in its blood-red eyes, and a cold glow in its sharp teeth. It failed in one blow, and immediately turned around and rushed again, this time, it was at Ding Lingyun, who had a lower cultivation level. , which can tell which prey is easier to deal with.

"Sister!" Ding Lingfeng had lost consciousness in one hand, and he barely used the other hand to raise the spirit sword to try to open the barrier, but because of his injury, the barrier blocking Ding Lingyun was so fragile that it was caught by Snow Wolf's attack at once. The sharp claws were crushed, and Ding Lingyun had no weapons in his hands, and was so overwhelmed by fear that he couldn't even make a sound, so he could only open his eyes in vain.

She stared at the snow wolf's fangs, as if seeing a symbol of death, but then, she felt a familiar breath.

The light blue aura enveloped her, seemingly soft like a veil, but stopped the snow wolf's sharp claws a few inches away, unable to get any closer. Afterwards, seven talismans descended from the sky and turned into streamers Pointing into the head, tail, torso and limbs of the monster, the blood light in Snow Wolf's eyes gradually dimmed, and he kept his fluttering posture motionless, and was quickly frozen into ice in the cold wind. His spiritual power floated out from the ice, and in an instant, that piece of ice shattered into powder.
