Yu Hongchen

The two intertwined their fingers and returned to Qiushuimen lingeringly.

This time their hearts were completely cleared, they had no scruples anymore, they held each other's hand frankly, occasionally looked back and smiled at each other.

Qiushuimen was as busy as before, and the gatekeepers did not make any changes because of their disappearance.

When entering the door, Shang Lixing said: "This time you solve the sword intent problem, we need to rehearse the Five Elements Sword Formation quickly to make up for the delayed progress."

Xie Liuchen felt a little guilty when he thought about what happened before, he lowered his head and let out a "huh".

They had just entered the door, when the casual cultivators saw Shang Lixing coming back, they went up to greet him and reported to him the progress of recent affairs one after another.

"Sect Master, I sent a letter to Xiya Mountain three days ago, but there is still no response."

Shang Lixing's expression tightened.

Xie Liuchen asked in surprise, "What's the matter? What are you looking for at Xiya Mountain?"

He asked a few words with an inexplicable expression, and after a while, he also came to his senses.

To kill Fu Changning this time, it is necessary to set up a sword array in Zhongzhou, Nanling, Beilu, Dongdao, and Xiya Mountain, and cooperate with the sword to form a five-element sword array, and only Xiya Mountain is the demon. If the human race wants to set up a sword formation on Xiya Mountain, they need to ask the Yao clan for their opinions.Before Shang Lixing sent his disciples to Xiya Mountain to deliver a letter, but he failed to get a confirmed reply from the Yaozu, and he didn't know if the Yaozu would agree to lend the land of Xiya Mountain.

"It's easy, Senior Brother Shang, I'm from the Yaozu, so it's okay if I go to Xiya Mountain?" Xie Liuchen didn't think this was a problem at all.

Shang Lixing shook his head, but said to all the disciples: "I will handle this matter myself, you go and take care of your own affairs first."

The doormen should be, and they retreated one after another.

When Xie Liuchen saw that he had sent everyone away, he knew that the matter was much more complicated than he thought. He asked strangely, "Senior Brother Shang, what's the matter? Are you——"

He reacted very quickly: "You don't want me to go to Xiya Mountain?"

Shang Lihang took him by the hand and walked slowly back to his yard, saying on the way: "The monster race and the human race have never been in harmony. I am worried that if I borrow land from them this time, they will take the opportunity to make excessive demands. So I just sent a few days ago. Casual cultivators go to deliver letters instead of coming to ask for them in person, so as not to let the Yaozu see how much I care about this matter."

Xie Liuchen still remembers the event of the Yaozu's invasion of Nanling 50 years ago: "Although Nanling is rich in products, the Yaozu also has their own territory, so they don't want to compete with the human race for resources."

Shang Lixing sighed, "I'm not worried about that."

"That is?"

Shang Lixing looked at him seriously, and said in a gentle voice: "I'm afraid that they will ask you to go back to Xiya Mountain and not let you see me again. I was afraid that you would agree on impulse, so I didn't make this decision at the beginning. Something to tell you."

"Ah——" Xie Liuchen obviously didn't expect this level, he was stunned for a moment, and then hurriedly explained, "No, no, I won't be threatened by them no matter what."

He didn't care whether the situation Shang Lixing said really happened or not, instead he felt a little blissful in his heart, it's great, this person is always thinking of him no matter when he first met or now.

Satisfied, he leaned his head on his broad arms and whispered, "Senior Brother Shang, I will not leave you."

Shang Lixing said: "It's not urgent, I will find another way, and I won't embarrass you."

"Well, I believe you."

Walking to the gate of the courtyard, He Suowu and Qu Kongqing just happened to come over, their expressions were a bit stern.Xie Liuchen shyly let go of Shang Lixing's hand.

Shang Lixing glanced at the two of them: "Didn't practice sword today?"

He Suowu kept his face sullen and said nothing.

Qu Kongqing simply said: "Fang Jinglin and He Qi are missing."

"Huh? Missing?" Xie Liuchen and Shang Lixing exchanged glances.

Qu Kongqing continued: "Last night after the head of the Shang sect left, they disappeared. We went to the place where the sword is practiced in the back mountain. Since we found it last night, we can't find both of them. The two of us are afraid of the sword formation. It was spread out, so there was no publicity, and I decided to wait for the merchant to come back before making a decision."

He Suowu pursed his lips, and said, "It's because I failed my elder brother's orders and didn't take good care of them."

Xie Liuchen didn't understand at all: "At this juncture, why did the two senior brothers disappear together? They didn't leave a letter or anything. Brother Shang, they are all disciples of Yunshan Mountain. Do you want to tell Senior Sister Xiang about this?"

Shang Lixing pondered for a while, then shook his head and said, "Don't tell Wan Ning about this beforehand, so as not to worry them. Qiu Shuimen will send a few trustworthy casual cultivators to find him secretly, and don't try to scare the snake away."

He Suowu said: "Yes, I will pick some casual practitioners over here."

Shang Lixing ordered calmly, but he was puzzled in his heart: "Where will they go?"

These two are the top sword cultivators of the Yunshan Sword Sect, and they disappeared at the same time without any reason. Fang Jinglin is just weird, why even He Qi, who has always been low-key and unassuming, also had an accident?

At noon, several casual cultivators who had been sent out returned to Qiushuimen one after another, saying that they had searched Qiushuimen for hundreds of miles, but they could not find Fang Jinglin and the others.

Several people in the chamber showed dignified expressions.

"Where will they go?" Shang Lixing sat upright on the main seat, frowning and thinking.

The others were all standing, also with cold expressions.Qu Kongqing rested his chin on one hand, walked back and forth, gave a "tsk", and said, "If you have something to go back to the sect, you should let me know. It's really puzzling to leave so silently."

Xie Liuchen suggested: "Let's go to Yunshan Sword Sect to have a look, maybe they have returned to the sect. The two brothers usually have a good relationship, so it can't be because of a quarrel—"

The words came to an abrupt end.He suddenly remembered that when he went up to Yunshan, he happened to meet He Qi and Fang Jinglin practicing swords on the mountain path, and the atmosphere between them was very unusual.

But he couldn't say what was unusual about it.

There is no whereabouts, and there is no direction to look for. Waiting like this is not an option. In the end, Shang Lixing had no choice but to say: "Well, let's go to Yunshan Sword Sect."

They were about to leave when a man stumbled into the door with disheveled hair and wounds all over his body.

Several casual cultivators were in an uproar, and Xie Liuchen and the others were stunned for a moment.

When Shang Lixing saw the person coming, his eyelids twitched, he hurriedly stood up from his seat, stepped forward to support him: "Junior Brother He, what's wrong with you? Where did you go? Why did you get injured?"

The person covered in blood is none other than He Qi of Yunshan Sword Sect.

I saw him clutching his chest in pain, and shouted in a hoarse voice: "Quick! Go to Yunshan Sword Sect! The head is in trouble!"

"Hurry up and save people! It will be too late!"

Everyone's face changed.

……

Riding on Yufeng, Shang Lixing, Xie Liuchen and He Suowu Qu Kongqing took He Qi and hurried on the way to Yunshan Sword Sect.

He Qi was short in stature, and was supported effortlessly by He Suowu.Several people moved their bodies, their figures were as swift as the wind, and their moods were extremely anxious.

"Fang Jinglin hurt you?" On the way, Shang Lixing asked.

He Qi's face was pale, with blood oozing from the corner of his mouth, he said intermittently: "Yes, yes... He wanted to report to that person, but I found out, I wanted to stop him, and was injured by his secret tricks, almost, almost Died in Sihai..."

It turned out that they were hiding in Surabaya, no wonder the casual cultivators wandered around the back mountain for half a day and found nothing.

Shang Lixing remained silent for a moment, then asked again: "When did you find out that something was wrong with him?"

He Qidao: "Brother Shang, do you still remember? 50 years ago, when you were in Mozun Yunshan, you rescued me in front of the mountain gate, and rescued me who was unconscious?"

Shang Lixing understood instantly: "Fang Jinglin also did that time?"

"Yes, that time he also took advantage of the chaos to hurt me and wanted to assassinate me, but...but actually, I knew his secret earlier, he had already become a demon pawn and betrayed the human race... ..."

Xie Liuchen listened quietly, his mind suddenly drifted away, he remembered the scene when he saw Fang Jinglin for the first time.

That year when he went down the mountain for the first time, he met many brothers and sisters in the same school, among which Fang Jinglin was the most lively and active.

That person always had a hippie smile on his face, hooking shoulders with He Qi and making fun of each other.At that time, he thought that their relationship was really so deep, but now that he thought about it, they were more testing each other.He Qi grasped many secrets of Fang Jinglin, which caused Fang Jinglin to secretly kill him repeatedly.

In order to rescue the Demon Lord, the Demon Race will not only set him up as a pawn, there must be other pawns.

He thought that Fang Jinglin might have hooked up with the demons long before he knew him.

However, Yunshan Sword Sect has his beloved brothers and sisters, why did he do this?

Fearing that Yunshan would change, they rushed to Yunshan Sword Sect in less than half an hour.

Falling in front of the mountain gate, the vegetation is bleak, quiet and no one is there.There are no disciples waiting in front of the mountain gate.

They didn't dare to delay, they rushed directly into the mountain gate without stopping, and rushed all the way to the main hall of Xuanhe Peak where Xiang Wanning was.

According to what He Qi said, after he was sent to Sihai, he heard a conversation between Fang Jinglin and a person in a hazy state. Xiang Wanning, who was the current head of the house, was lost.

The identity of the person who talked to Fang Jinglin was already guessed by everyone.

It was Fu Changning.

But Fang Jinglin injured He Qi, but didn't kill him, maybe it was because there was still a trace of fellowship in his heart?

Perhaps, things are not the most serious step.

When they entered the main hall, what caught their eyes was the dazzling and cold bright red all over the floor.

Everyone's breath stagnates.

From the floor at the entrance of the main hall, there was blood dripping all over the floor, winding all the way to the viewing platform on the second floor. The blood volume was so huge that it almost covered the entire floor of the main hall.

This terrible amount of blood almost killed a person.

Xie Liuchen lost his voice and said, "Senior Sister Xiang?!" Shang Lixing's eyes darkened, and he grabbed his hand.

He Qi yelled in grief: "Oops, it's late! The senior sister of the sect——she has encountered an accident!" He thought of how he had worked so hard to save his fellow sect, but he was still one step late after all, so he couldn't help but drop a few drops. Tears came, and I blamed myself in my heart: If I knew it earlier, I should have told everyone the truth earlier.

Shang Lixing sighed deeply, and comforted everyone: "Don't worry, maybe things haven't reached the worst stage yet. Calm down, everyone."

In the main hall, there was a death-like silence. The silhouettes of five people stood alone against the bloody disaster all over the ground, making it extremely cold.Suddenly, a faint breath and low sigh came from the second floor.

"There is someone on the second floor!" Shang Lixing was the first to notice the existence of the voice, and directly pulled Xie Liuchen up the stairs leading to the second floor.

Qu Kongqing and He Suowu who carried He Qi on his back followed closely.

They rushed to the second floor, but the scene in front of them was beyond their expectations.

Xiang Wanning was sitting on the floor on the second floor with blood all over her body.

In a pool of blood, she lowered her head and let out a low sad sigh from time to time.

She was holding a male disciple with closed eyes in her arms.

A sword was deeply inserted into the man's chest, and the blood dried up and flowed all over the ground, gradually turning into a solidified brown.

Been dead for a long time.
