There are bandits in Zhongshan

Those disciples of Huanglian Sword Sect were even more horrified when they heard the word "Zhong Mingzhu".She was already notorious, and those few people witnessed her cruel methods with their own eyes, and they felt that they had just stepped out of the tiger's den and into the wolf's den, and they were full of gloom on every face.

Zhong Mingzhu didn't care about this, she was already used to the fear of others.It would be rather strange if anyone knew her identity without any fear, so she didn't even look at those monks, she just smiled at the place where the voice came from, "Don't come here, I haven't seen you in a few years, and you are still here." Just as noisy."

Following her voice, a gust of breeze blew by, and at the end of the wind, a beautiful figure appeared, a woman as beautiful as a fairy, even those whose hearts and souls were captured by fear, could not help being dazed when they saw her, such a graceful figure, Who is it?

At the beginning, Zhong Mingzhu left a message saying that this kindness must be repaid, but because of Changli's injury, he never saw Ruoye again.

Over the years, Ye Chenzhou has seized the opportunity to expand the power of Yunzhong City in one fell swoop when other sects were in turmoil. It is rumored that he was also behind the scenes when the monks besieged Fufeng Forest. After all, Mu Yun is from the Ye family of Yunzhongcheng, Xu Mizhi Not long after the Haiyi incident, she was recalled to Yunzhong City by Ye Chenzhou, and she had to be at the disposal of the city lord.

The situation of Changli could not tolerate any mistakes, Zhong Mingzhu was afraid that Yun Zhongcheng would be a hindrance, so he did not disclose Changli's whereabouts to them, nor did he mention the five-color stone to them.It can only be said to be a coincidence to meet Ruoye here now.

Taoyuan has nothing to do with Yunzhongcheng. Zhong Mingzhu didn't know why Ruoye appeared here. He was worried about Yunzhongcheng's new actions, so he didn't leave immediately. Instead, he planned to check on Ruoye first, but she hadn't Before he had time to ask, Ruoye asked first, "Why are you here? Changli—"

She seemed to want to ask about Changli's situation, but was interrupted by Zhong Mingzhu: "I was passing by, but you are not staying in Yunzhong City, what are you doing here?" Smiling with good intentions, "Could it be that you are also here to ask for the sword manual of the Great Wilderness?"

The monks' faces changed drastically when they heard the words. Although they didn't know what Ruoye's identity was, they could tell that her cultivation base was at the same level as Zhong Mingzhu's, and she seemed to have a good friendship with Zhong Mingzhu. If she made things difficult for them, Zhong Mingzhu will definitely not stop them, they have no power to fight back.

Before Ruoye opened his mouth, someone said anxiously: "We really don't know where the swordsmanship of the Great Wilderness is, it's useless even if we kill us..." Then he bowed down to Ruoye and begged: "Let us go. "

Seeing that those people were about to cry out, Ruoye frowned, glared at Zhong Mingzhu, then flicked his sleeves, held up those people, and said: "Don't listen to her nonsense, I don't want any sword manuals " Then she opened her hand and showed an old sword-shaped token, and said: "I rescued a few disciples of the Huanglian Sword Sect who were hunted down in Heishuiling. They said that there were still companions who were washed away. I traced here based on the clues they gave, and their companions are you."

When the monks saw this token, they were both surprised and happy, and kowtowed their heads to thank him: "That must be a fellow disciple who got lost in Heishuiling, thank you for your help!"

Seeing them knelt down again, Ruoye couldn't help crying and laughing: "I've already placed them in Yanlu City, you go too." Seeing the hesitation on the faces of those people, knowing that they were worried about being ambushed halfway, he sighed and said: "I still have something to say to her, you go to the mountain and wait, and I will escort you to Yanfu later."

With her promise, those people thanked her and went out of the mountain. As soon as they left, Ruoye hurriedly asked: "Is Chang Li okay?"

Changli was still awake when he was taken away from the Sea of ​​Sumeru. Although Ruoye had heard all kinds of rumors about the body of the sword spirit these years, he had never seen Zhong Mingzhu and Changli with his own eyes. All went nowhere.Because she once acted together with Lu Lin, many people became suspicious of her, and now almost all the monks are staring at Fufenglin, so it is not good for her to make any ostentatious actions in front of everyone.Most of the cultivators in the world were killed by Zhong Mingzhu. In order to protect themselves, the sects that lost their pillars began to pursue power by all means. At this time, once the mermaid blood appears in the world, they will definitely find ways to take it for themselves. When the time comes, Ruoye had no choice but to flee back to Donghai.

Although she didn't spend much time with Changli, she was born and died together, and she has long regarded Changli as a friend, worrying about her safety all the time, when she bumped into Zhong Mingzhu at this time, she couldn't wait to know Changli's situation Seeing that Zhong Mingzhu was silent, she couldn't help becoming more and more anxious: "You didn't accompany her, she... did something happen to her?"

"She..." Seeing the undisguised concern in Ruoye's eyes, Zhong Mingzhu finally suppressed the indifference in his expression, letting the gloom spread between his brows, "She's still alive, but it's not good."

This is better than the worst scenario that Ruoye imagined, but not much better. In her impression, Zhong Mingzhu always looked at ease at all times, but now he showed such an expression, which can only show that this is "not good". In fact, it is a dead end.

She could feel Zhong Mingzhu's anger and sadness, but she couldn't say a word of comfort.Before that hidden turbulence, any words of comfort are too pale and useless.

"Is there anything I can do to help?" After a long silence, she asked softly.

Zhong Mingzhu said: "I don't worry about Ye Chenzhou, it's the best help for you to stay out of it."

This remark seemed to be expected by Ruoye, she didn't show the slightest surprise, but sighed: "It's true, Ah Yun also said so, I wanted to sneak into Fufeng Forest secretly at first."

"She's a smart person, listen to her."

Ruoye nodded: "She also said that if you really need my help, you will definitely let me know." Zhong Mingzhu smiled when he heard this: "It is true."

"That's good, but since we met here by chance, why don't I just give this to you." Ruoye said as he took out something and handed it to Zhong Mingzhu, "It was in my hands when Changli fell into it, return it to her for me." .”

It was a storage ring, and Zhong Mingzhu couldn't help being taken aback when he saw it, Ruoye explained: "At that time you were injured and asked me to take her away, but she wanted to go back to see you desperately, I couldn't hold her back , but tore off the storage ring from her hand, and it happens to be returned to its original owner right now."

Zhong Mingzhu took the ring, found the bamboo tube inside, couldn't help but smiled slightly, and murmured: "Actually, this is mine." Changli exchanged the storage ring, and gave Changli the bamboo tube that Zhu Maolin gave her as a bodyguard, and never exchanged it back.

Changli practice does not rely on external objects, the storage ring is not filled with magic tools like other monks. However, only a few talismans, a few bottles of pills, a wooden box and the Langgan sword contained spiritual power, and the rest were all ordinary things.

There are lanterns, masks, bracelets, etc., all bought by Zhong Mingzhu on the day of the Ghost Festival, and a dark blue umbrella—a softness flashed in Zhong Mingzhu's eyes. This is the umbrella she handmade. I remember Changli guessed what it was for a long time.

After experiencing the near death of Jianlu, and now being exhausted, she didn't even notice that Changli's storage ring was lost. Even if she found out, she would probably think it was destroyed in the Sea of ​​Sumeru. With so many memories, every bit and every drop is as gorgeous as flowers.

She carefully put the storage ring into her arms, nodded to Ruoye and said, "Thank you, I will pass it on to Li'er."

Ruoye smiled slightly: "Remember to say hello to her for me and Ah Yun." Then he said seriously: "There is one more thing, you also know that Ye Chenzhou's men are among the monks surrounding Fufeng Forest."

"No surprise." Zhong Mingzhu snorted coldly, "Now Tianyi has lost power, he will not let go of this opportunity."

"I'm sorry, if Ah Yun is still under his control..." Ruoye's tone showed a touch of resentment, but he quickly stopped, "Forget it, let's not mention these for now. A while ago, Ye Chenzhou suddenly recalled the Yunzhong City's People and horses also secretly sent confidantes to various sects, Ayun said that he was probably planning something, but she didn't know the details, so I came to Yanlu City to find out the news."

Zhong Mingzhu suddenly thought of the monk he caught at the foot of Tiantai Peak a few days ago, his heart tightened, but his face remained calm, and he said: "Understood, I will pay more attention."

Ruoye told her to take good care of Changli, and then went to find those disciples of the Huanglian Sword Sect.

After she left, Zhong Mingzhu's complexion gradually became condensed, and he said to himself: "Ye Chenzhou... What do you want to do..."

The young master of Yunzhong City is noble and talented, and has always been arrogant. When he was dueling with Lu Lin, until the last moment before losing, he was full of ambitions, believing that he would be the winner. He lost almost everything in the open and secret battle with Ye Lianxi, but he was still able to make a comeback.Back then, Ye Lianxi escaped from the battle, instead of going to the Sea of ​​Sumeru, he escaped a catastrophe. Although his power was hit hard by Yu Yuan's death, Centipede was dead but not stiff. He still held two spiritual veins, and he was always a Hidden danger.Under such circumstances, Ye Chenzhou coveted the power of the Sword of Heaven, Zhong Mingzhu was not surprised by this, but she didn't understand why he would call back the people when everyone was staring at Fufenglin.

Changli was able to live on Tiantai Peak undisturbed, all thanks to that trick to cast doubts, if the monks all over the world turn their attention to Yunfu Mountain again, the confusion is likely to be seen through.The strength of Tianyi Sect is no longer what it used to be. Venerable Guhong died. The only remaining member of the three elders of Huashen was Longtian Li who was still injured. Half of Changli's peers were buried in the sword furnace. If you stick to Tianyi Peak, you have no time to guard Tiantai Peak.

If Changli's health is better, Zhong Mingzhu can find a place in the mountains at will, or simply take her to Zhongshan, but Changli is too weak, so he can only rest in a place with abundant spiritual power.Ordinary mountain aura is insufficient. Although Zhong Shan has enough spiritual energy, Shuo Yuan's cold air can easily kill her. Similarly, the evil aura on the way to the demon country can also be fatal, so they can only give up the twin trees in Zhaoyao Mountain. Instead, they set up a blindfold there.

The Tiantai Peak is connected to the big formation eyes of the Hushan Mountain, and there was originally a spirit gathering formation. Even if the bone of Xuanwu is lost, the formation with the mountains and rivers as the momentum is still there. The spiritual energy on the Tiantai Peak recirculates for Changli to recuperate. If the Tiantai Peak is exposed, it will be difficult to find a second suitable place in a short time.

Besides, the time for Changli is running out, and the search for the five-color stone has not made any progress. Zhong Mingzhu is really weak. If Ye Chenzhou's actions are really related to Changli, then she really doesn't know what to do.

"Damn it!" The more she thought about it, the more disturbed she became, and finally waved her hand irritably, and hit the stone wall behind her with a heavy hammer, causing the broken stones to fly there. It was everywhere, forcing her into a corner.

But at this time, irritability is useless. If you lose your footing, it will be easier for you to see through the secrets. She took a deep breath, suppressed the urge to razed everything she saw, pulled out a few talismans, and placed them on the ground. After drawing a few lines, and then flicking them up, those talismans turned into Qingluan the moment they were released from their hands, and disappeared into the clouds in a flash of wings.

At the highest point of Yunzhong City, Ye Chenzhou stood on the ashlar stone that was only an inch long, his clothes and hair fluttered with the strong wind, but his body remained motionless, as if it was integrated with the mountain under his feet.

In just a few years, he has become the most prestigious person in the righteous way. This is something he never dared to imagine. Those monks who were stronger than him were buried in the Sea of ​​Sumeru together with Yu Yuan. The Feixiantai they built with their own hands became their graves.Although Lu Lin is still there, after returning from the Sumeru Sea, he seldom asks about the affairs of Kunwu City, and often disappears alone, and his closest subordinates do not know his movements, so the same evil way Things are getting worse day by day, and some sects have even turned to Yunzhong City to seek shelter.

Ye Chenzhou missed some opportunities because of his serious injury, but got more because of it. Now he is unscathed and has obtained the whereabouts of the sword spirit without any effort.

Looking down at the clouds rolling up and down under his feet, he thought to himself: I have already held most of the cultivation world in my hands.He should have been happy about this, but at this moment, he was a little worried.

"You are hesitating." A voice sounded behind him, like a whisper from the abyss.

"I just think it's not right to take advantage of others' danger," he said.

"They are exhausted. Even if you don't make a move, someone else will. Ye Lianxi and Du Xuanze, I heard that they are already ready to make a move."

Ye Chenzhou smiled coldly: "Your news is well-informed." The next moment, he turned around suddenly, waved his hand and chopped down, and saw an invisible spiritual energy slashing towards the source of the sound. Torn apart by this majestic aura.

Behind him, a group of black shadows, like those clouds, scattered into wisps of light smoke, but soon gathered together again, turning back into a group of blurred shadows.

"I am a phantom, even if you cut me apart thousands of times, there is nothing I can do."

"Hmph, since you know the whereabouts of the sword spirit, why don't you go there yourself." Ye Chenzhou asked with a sullen face.

"Because I'm still in the Sea of ​​Sumeru." The shadow said slowly, "Only this afterimage left with the sword spirit." Then, the voice said again: "You just have to do what you want, and you won't do it again. No one can be your enemy."

The voice that fell into Ye Chenzhou's ears was low and deep, erratic like an impenetrable cloud, but it was everywhere, as if it came from the bottom of his heart.
