Chapter 166: The Darkness Before Dawn

Ye Yinfeng didn't have much joy at the old man's praise, and deep down in his heart he still rejected the cheap master who had never met. In his heart, he still regards the sloppy old Taoist Yuchenzi as his master, and he is also the only master in his heart, and other people, no matter how high their cultivation is, he will not recognize it. It's just that he was vaguely worried, and when he really met that worry-free son on that day, what should he do.

But Li Xiaoyao was very accepting of the old man's praise, and his face showed his eyebrows fluttering with joy, to be able to get the praise of this unfathomable cultivator and the most mysterious master of the hermit in the world, that was a great recognition for him.

But the old man's next words made Li Xiaoyao's head feel like a basin of cold water, and he was cold from the beginning to the bottom of his heart.

"It's just that this Xiaodao chief is too fat, if he can lose a few points, this Ye Shaoxia still has an undeserved obsession in his heart, which is very beneficial to your future cultivation."

The smile on Li Xiaoyao's face immediately froze, and then showed a strange expression, not knowing whether to cry or laugh. When Ye Yinfeng heard the old man's words, his heart was shocked, he didn't understand what the other party meant. The obsession in his heart is only to avenge his family, does he mean anything else?

"Hehe, old man, it's inevitable that you will think too much, and you don't have to mind." The old man looked at the two teenagers with different expressions, chuckled a few times, and smiled faintly.

"Old man, can you tell me why Wang Wenbai is the killer of the 'Piercing Heaven Alliance', does that 'Assassin Heaven Alliance' have anything to do with this hidden clan." Ye Yinfeng didn't want to have any entanglement on this issue, he couldn't help but think of another doubt, and immediately changed the topic.

And the old man's reply made Ye Yinfeng feel surprised, and even the fat Taoist Li Xiaoyao also showed a surprised look.

"Thorn Heaven Alliance? Haven't heard of it. The old man gave a strange expression, and then replied very firmly.

"No, old man, are you mistaken, it is the number one killer organization today, and it is said that it has been passed down for hundreds of years." As soon as Li Xiaoyao heard the other party's strange answer, he immediately jumped up and said loudly, he didn't believe that the other party really hadn't heard of this killer organization.

It's just that Ye Yinfeng's heart turned, frowned, and fell into deep thought. Could it be that this "Piercing Heaven Alliance" used to have another name, or maybe this organization was too secretive for even such an old man to know. Then, they should know about Wang Wenbai, and he can conclude that Wang Wenbai must be one of the killer members of that organization. It doesn't matter about the palpitating murderous aura on the other party's body, as well as the thick bloody aura on the other party's body, which is very similar to the killer in the "Piercing Heaven Alliance". That kind of awe-inspiring murderous aura, Ye Yinfeng will never forget it.

"I really haven't heard of it, maybe I've lived in this remote mountain village for too long, and I don't know that such a huge killer organization has appeared in this martial arts." The old man's cloudy eyes were full of blank looks, and at the same time, a lonely look that had been worn by years was spontaneously born.

"No, then old man, what do you know about the killer organization, which is related to this hidden clan." Li Xiaoyao broke the sand pot and asked in the end, he didn't believe that such a huge killer organization would not be able to touch the Yin Clan.

And Ye Yinfeng also woke up from that contemplation, and looked at the old man with hope, maybe he could get relevant information about this "Piercing Heaven Alliance" from this old man's mouth.

"Xiaodao Elder forgives the old man can't say it, we all call it the hidden lineage, of course, it's very important that you can't say anything about the hidden family, if you can say it, the old man would have said it a long time ago." The old man showed a helpless look on his face at this time, and said apologetically.

When Li Xiaoyao heard this, he suddenly felt like a deflated ball, and he secretly scolded in his heart, why is this old man so stubborn, he doesn't seem to want to reveal any information. It's a shame that I'm still so polite to him, and in the end, I can't even get a little useful information.

Ye Yinfeng, who was full of hope, also suddenly showed a disappointed look, he was bent on finding the killer of the "Piercing Heaven Alliance", and he met one, but he slipped away under his nose, so that he still didn't have any clue. Endless annoyance in his heart, he looked at the fat man helplessly, and found that the other party also looked depressed.

"Old man, can you tell me about the grievances between Wang Wenbai and you, why does he feel like he hates you so much?" Li Xiaoyao's small eyes rolled, and when he saw that the old man did not let go, he changed the topic again.

But in the end, the answer was still that it couldn't be said, which made Li Xiaoyao and Ye Yinfeng feel devastated, what kind of thing is this. I can only blame myself for being full of food, why don't I run to this hellish place if I have nothing to do, and I offended a master who is good at hunting for no reason. The words that Wang Wenbai said when he left still echoed in his ears, and it would be a bitter fight when he met that person in the future, and Li Xiaoyao couldn't wait to have the urge to kill at this moment.

I can't ask the old man what is famous, and the Ge brothers who are standing quietly in the distance are simply a pair of stuffy gourds, and they can't ask anything. Why bother, I can only blame myself for being too nosy, then Li Erniu obviously reminded them, but he didn't know it, and he stupidly became someone else's bait.

Seeing that he couldn't ask anything, Li Xiaoyao chatted with the old man for a while, chatting about some painless topics, the old man was very tight-mouthed, and he didn't reveal any useful information at all. Whether it's about the Yin clan or about the killer organization.

Ye Yinfeng didn't join in their chat, he looked up at the endless and vast sky, the vast starry sky was full of stars, and the curved moon was like a piece of broken silver jade, inlaid in the endless and deep dome.

In a trance, he only felt that the three True Yuan balls in his body seemed to beat, and the imperceptible beating made his heart tremble. Could it be that the "Taiqing Jue" he cultivated and the Taiqing Qi in his body had something to do with the endless starry sky, it was difficult to suppress the amazement in his heart, and he himself could only guess like this, but it had not been confirmed.

After calming down the shock in his heart, Ye Yinfeng's thoughts returned to the thrilling scene, the thrilling moment when the Nine Demons and Twin Demons joined forces to attack. And he inexplicably entered a state of emptiness and subtlety, making himself unable to control his body, and cast a strange move, and blocked the blow between the alliances, allowing himself to save the day. At this point, he wanted to get back to that state again, but no matter how hard he tried, he couldn't get into that state.

After a while, a thick figure strode towards them like a meteor, and suddenly it was the heroic and unruly man Li Erniu, who was carrying the big saber on his shoulder. A disordered aura, the clothes of the whole body were messy, and there was a foul smell of corpse that could not be concealed. It can be seen that he had a fierce battle with the Nine Ghost Twin Demons, and the specific result is unknown.

"His grandmother is a bear, these two treacherous old ghosts, they will not let go the next time they meet them." Li Erniu strode over and muttered loudly. Before the person arrived, the voice came to Li Xiaoyao's ears early.

When he approached, Ye Yinfeng found that there was a trace of blood on the corner of the other party's mouth, and a strange aura that was so subtle that it was difficult to detect was covered by the stench all over his body. If it is an ordinary person, it is difficult to perceive, but Ye Yinfeng clearly perceived it, that breath is the breath above the Hades Sword of Yin Yan, and the other party must have been attacked by Yin Yan, and the sneak attack was successful.

And the old man only returned to him, and a sharp light suddenly burst out of his eyes, but in a flash, he turned his gaze to Ye Yinfeng, as if he was very sure that this blue-shirted young man could just dissolve that strange aura.

Ye Yinfeng rested for a long time, and the true qi in his body had almost recovered. He walked straight behind Li Erniu, stretched out his hand, and a strong true qi passed straight towards the other party's vest.

Suddenly, Li Erniu's eyes were stunned, and he only felt that the strange aura in his body like a maggot attached to the bone collapsed like a nemesis, and it disappeared in a moment. The incomparably comfortable spread throughout his body, so that he couldn't help but moan. The strange aura in his body that was difficult to remove was easily dispersed by the too innocent qi from Ye Yinfeng's palm, how could this not make him overjoyed. After he was attacked by that gloomy long sword, no matter how much he tried to expel that strange aura, it was useless.

"Thank you." Li Erniu, who was physically and mentally happy, crooked his mouth, and said to Ye Yinfeng behind him heroically and refreshedly. At this moment, his body and mind are light, and he no longer has the feeling of being stabbed in his body.

And when Ye Yinfeng heard this, he also withdrew his hand, this time the expulsion of the evil aura in the other party's body did not consume much of his true qi, he hurriedly asked Li Erniu: "Brother Li, how could they be attacked by those two demons, did they escape?" ”

"Fucking thief." Li Erniu's old face turned red, and suddenly he scolded, and with a "bell", he threw the big knife in his hand to the ground so casually, and the big knife stirred up a burst of sparks on the rocks on the ground.

Seeing this, Li Xiaoyao stepped forward and said with a smile: "Isn't it that Brother Li can't make a secret loss after eating those two demons." He was a restless lord, and when he saw the other party's flushed old face and the disordered aura on his body, he couldn't help but show a gloating expression. I was also secretly happy in my heart, who told this old man not to even tell them any information, this is not his own person who has eaten a secret loss from others.

"Okay, you stupid cow, what's the point of eating someone else's loss, it's okay if you don't lose your life." The old man's cloudy eyes turned and shouted to Li Erniu.

It seems that this Li Erniu is more afraid of this old man, and when he arrives at the other party's reprimand, he can't help but be silent, and he doesn't dare to say anything.

Li Xiaoyao and Ye Yinfeng couldn't find any topics for a while, and the old man seemed to be a little tired, sitting on the smooth stone and leaning against the small dead tree behind him and narrowed his eyes. Before that, there was a slight snoring, and the old man fell asleep at this time.

Li Xiaoyao's face was disdainful, this old guy must be pretending, and there was a slander against this old man in his heart. Originally, this heroic and really cool man Li Erniu returned, and he still wanted to get some information from the other party's mouth, no, the shouting and reprimand of the people directly scared this stout man like a tiger to the point that he didn't dare to speak.

The cold air in the middle of the winter night is as cold as a blade, and the cold winter night under these mountains is cold, and the fog is getting thicker and thicker, and the frost on the ground begins to spread like silver and white snow.

Bursts of cold air shrouded all around, and the light mist and the knife-like cold tide of wind and frost surged in, and the slightest mist rose in a curling manner, turning into layers of white veil draped in the mountains, and the hazy night seemed bleak and desolate.

The crescent moon swayed its last silver glow, gradually falling to the west, and the endless and gloomy starry sky began to become deep and dark, the stars struggled, and the last touch of darkness before dawn crept in.

The old man sat on a large stone as smooth as a mirror, while his back leaned against the trunk of a dead tree behind him, his face full of wrinkles and his slightly squinted eyes, showing fatigue. The slightly open mouth full of silver whiskers made a slight snoring sound, not caring at all about the cold and wet mist everywhere, and the shabby cotton clothes had already been stained with fog and formed a thin layer of watermarks.

Li Xiaoyao also sat on the ground at some point, he looked up at the starry sky, a pair of small eyes couldn't help but roll, and he didn't know what he was thinking. And Ye Yinfeng stood proudly above the endless night, his pine-like posture was straight and straight, standing still in the cold wind, and his endless elegant temperament came out. His star-like eyes flashed with a superb gaze, shooting straight ahead, revealing a resolute and tenacious temperament on his cheeks with unfinished childishness.

Li Erniu's eyes were full of curiosity, and he couldn't stop shifting from the old man's body to the fat little Taoist, and then from the fat Taoist's body to the blue-shirted young man who stood proudly and silently, and finally turned to the Ge brothers who were carefully guarding not far from them. Perhaps because he felt all kinds of scoundrels, he also sat down reluctantly, and sat in front of Li Xiaoyao, blocking the sight of the fat Taoist priest.

Li Xiaoyao frowned, turned around and glanced at the old man, and found that the old man was still asleep, so he moved his fat body and came to Li Erniu's side. The fat Taoist priest's chubby body is no less than Li Erniu's stout body, and the two statues like a mountain, one big and one small, suddenly came together, which is a unique scene.

Li Erniu saw the other party coming to his side, instinctively moved his body outward, and saw the other party's flattering smile, which made him feel a hair in his heart, but the man with a heroic temperament became like a wronged little daughter-in-law at this moment.

Ye Yinfeng saw this scene in a blink of an eye, and a strange feeling arose inexplicably in his heart. I saw that the big and small bodies were gathered together, and the fat Taoist priest's voice was unusually small, and I didn't know what he said to the honest man, and he said the other party with a smile.

The two of them, the big and the young, muttered together for a long time, and they didn't know what they were talking about, but Ye Yinfeng didn't come forward, he knew that the little fat man at this time must be setting up the information of the honest man.

The intense night became darker and darker, and the white mist became denser, and the cold air like a tide and the cold wind like a knife roared everywhere, and the cold meaning of the bones rushed straight to everyone.

The old man suddenly opened his eyes, he straightened up his rickety body, looked at the firmament, and then said lightly: "Wenchang may not be able to return for a while, everyone hurry up and rest, there is still one hour at most before dawn this day." Two little friends, I hope to keep the matter of our hermit clan secret, and tomorrow I will ask the stupid cow to give you a ride. ”

After speaking, he waved his hand, and left by himself with the steps of a dragon, gradually dissolving into the dark night and disappearing in front of everyone's eyes.

Li Xiaoyao and Ye Yinfeng, who were only stunned with their eyes, were full of puzzlement, and kept their original posture in a daze.
