This burst of red mist with a charming aroma, like a mountain torrent after being smashed open a dam, surging out of the valley, which made Zhou Yu and others, who were not too far from the entrance of the valley, were shocked, and then, after feeling that this red mist had an extremely terrifying aura, Zhou Yu couldn't help but shout: "This fog is poisonous, don't let it get wet, run!"

As soon as the words fell, Zhou Yu, Zhou Xian, Wu Hao, and Yan Ziyi, who was the best at escaping, shot out in an instant, away from the valley.

However, although they were far away from the valley in the first place, there were two Yunlan Sect disciples at the back of the line, as well as a Chunzi Sect inner disciple who was following Zhou Xian, but because they were standing too close to the valley and were a little slower when they moved, they were immediately completely overwhelmed by this overwhelming red mist.

No one could see the three people who were drowned out by this burst of red mist, because the moment they were touched by the red mist, their flesh was completely corroded into a pile of white bones by the poison carried by the mist.

After Xu Yan and Cai Zhenjing took the lead over Zhou Yu and the others, they didn't dare to have any reservations, so they ran to the south as fast as they could, but just half an hour later, Xu Yan felt that the disciple of the Chenyang Sect named Wu Hao behind him was constantly closing the distance between him and them.

Faced with this situation, Xu Yan had no choice, because he knew that with Cai Zhenjing's cultivation, it was no small miracle that he could delay this level. So, after the two of them continued to run out for more than ten miles, Xu Yan said to Cai Zhenjing beside him: "There is no way, we can only go separately, otherwise the two of us will be caught up by that Wu Hao, and once he is entangled, the disciples of the Yunlan Sect behind him will also quickly surround and suppress them, and at that time, none of us will be able to leave." ”

Cai Zhenjing never felt that Wu Hao was constantly approaching him, but he had no choice but to put his speed there, so he could only nod helplessly.

Xu Yan saw that she agreed, so he went on to say to her: " If you want to live, I advise you to keep running to the south, as long as you follow the road in front of you, keep going straight, you can go to the southernmost part of Dengbei Mountain, and once you leave the range of Dengbei Mountain, there is a great possibility of returning to the Lotus Sect smoothly, after all, you Baihe Sword Village is the only one left this time, even if you continue to stay to participate in the spring hunt, it will not have much impact on the final result, but if you are not lucky enough, then if you meet someone in other sects, you are really likely to fall in this deep mountain and old forest, of course, the final decision is still in your own hands, but whether to go or stay, you have to make a choice quickly, because in a few moments, then Wu Hao will completely catch up with us. up"

After Cai Zhenjing heard this, he didn't hesitate, so he turned directly to the right and rushed straight to the road that Xu Yan said.

Seeing that her choice was so decisive, Xu Yan's face was stunned, a trace of coldness flashed in her deep eyes, and she couldn't help but think in her heart, "Did I really think wrong?"

No one could give him an answer.

Unlike Cai Zhenjing, Xu Yan's direction of escape after that could not always rush to the south, because the place he was going to was Huangmaojian, so he had to rush to the southeast.

At this moment, it was already a full two days since the ten-day period he had discussed with Chen Qinghe and the others at the beginning, so Xu Yan guessed that they had left Shangxiling long ago and entered the realm of Huang Maojian first after they couldn't wait for him to make the appointment in time.

However, this is not a big problem, anyway, he is also used to acting alone, as long as he can successfully get rid of these relentless pursuers behind him, and successfully enter the realm of Huang Maojian, he will naturally have a chance to find Chen Qinghe and them.

Without Cai Zhenjing's ties, Xu Yan could undoubtedly use all his strength to escape, but he didn't do it at the beginning, because he wanted to see who Zhou Yu and the others would chase after seeing him and Cai Zhenjing's soldiers split ways, but just a moment later, he figured out about it, because he saw that Zhou Yu only sent two disciples of the Yunlan Sect to pursue Cai Zhenjing, while Zhou Yu himself chased after him with Zhou Xian, Wu Hao and others.

Xu Yan was not particularly surprised by such a result, but he couldn't help but smile bitterly, and secretly thought in his heart, it seemed that he was really in a hurry with this group of miscellaneous pieces.

In the end, after learning the last conclusion, Xu Yan no longer had any scruples, and immediately reached out and slapped his chest hard, spitting out the blood stasis that had blocked his body after punching Wu Hao before. And without this blood stasis, Xu Yan felt that his breathing was much smoother, although this made his internal injuries aggravate a lot, but it was better than having such a little thing stuck in his body that made him uncomfortable.

Xu Yan took out the storage bag that Wang Chu gave him, and while running, he took the few healing pills in the porcelain bottle, and when Wu Hao pulled the distance into him and only had a short twenty zhang left, thinking that he would be able to catch up with him soon, Xu Yan suddenly accelerated, and burst out with a real speed.

Without the slightest reservation, even after the confrontation, he had already noticed that the opponent's martial arts cultivation was even higher than his own, but Xu Yan still had enough confidence to completely shake off the other party, because even if he didn't say that his understanding of martial arts was much deeper than Wu Hao's, that is, in terms of the solid foundation of each realm, he was much more solid than Wu Hao.

Seeing that he was about to catch up, but was pulled away by the other party in an instant, Wu Hao's face was gloomy like a piece of ice, because he finally realized that the guy in front of him called Xu Yan was not as strong as him, but he was faster than him in terms of speed.

"Xu Yan, I will kill you!"

Hearing the angry roar coming from behind him, but after a quarter of an hour, Xu Yan, who had opened a full hundred zhang distance from him, didn't care at all, and then saw the other party's figure disappear at the end of the field of vision, so he suddenly turned his head and rushed into a narrow path that only he and Bai Bing knew, and then rushed towards the direction of Huang Maojian with all his strength.

......

"Senior Brother Bai, junior brother he...... Will he already ......" About two hours after walking out of the misty forest, a voice in Bai Bing's group sounded hesitantly.

After Bai Bing heard this, he didn't know what words to use to describe his delicate face, he was silent for a long time, but he still didn't know how to answer.

It took them almost three full days to say goodbye to Chen Qinghe from the Evil Ridge, all the way north and then to the south, but the result was obvious, they did not find any trace of Xu Yan, although at the junction of Dengbei Mountain and Evil Creek, Bai Bing originally had the opportunity to take the four of them to continue to search north along Evil Creek, but for the sake of safety, he did not choose to do so.

"No, the little junior brother Ji Ren has his own natural appearance, and he will definitely be fine, maybe we just passed by him, maybe he has returned to the Upper Evil Mountain before us and joined the senior brother and them. After saying this, not only Bai Bing and the others, who were full of sorrow, were unconvinced, but Qiu Yuanjin himself was actually not sure in his heart.

"Hey!" Bai Bing let out a long sigh and said, "I just hope that the result will be as Senior Sister Qiu said." ”

At this moment, in a dense forest behind them, there was a sudden slight movement, and the thing that created this movement seemed to be approaching them.

Bai Bing suddenly shouted, "Who is it?"

Seeing that he had just arrived here and had already reduced his movements, he was still keenly noticed by the other party, Xu Yan smiled a little helplessly, and secretly thought in his heart, it seems that Bai Bing's strength is much stronger than he imagined.

Xu Yan walked quickly from the reverse forest to the outside, and replied, "It's me." ”

Hearing this familiar voice, Bai Bing and Gu Xueqing's faces were undoubtedly happy, and when Xu Yan completely walked up to them, Bai Bing was really relieved and said: "Little junior brother, you finally appeared, we thought you were ......" Bai Bing didn't continue to say more, as if he felt that those words were a little unlucky if he said them at this moment, he just shook his head.

Xu Yan's face at the moment was still not very good, and he looked very pale.

Wu Hao's punch was actually far more severe than the situation that Zhou Yu and the others saw at that time, it can be said that the other party's punch that reached the realm of the sixth grade really caused him a lot of internal injuries, but after this breathing, with the healing pill given to him by Wang Chusai, and his own mysterious healing method, it was finally a little easier.

Without waiting for Xu Yan to speak, Bai Bing continued: "By the way, junior brother, we went to the northern hinterland to look for you before, but after arriving at the boundary of Dengbei Mountain, we still haven't seen any trace of you, and we haven't met the disciples of the other three major sects, where did you go at that time?"

Xu Yan didn't hide this, and said in a calm tone: "If Senior Brother Bai was referring to yesterday, I was near Mitsui Creek at that time, well, they were also there. ”

Bai Bing heard him answer like this, and thought that it was indeed the case. After he pondered for a moment, he asked with a hint of curiosity on his face: "Isn't it very dangerous over there in Sanjing Creek, and it doesn't seem to grow golden hairpin stone orchids there, how could the little junior brother run over there?"

For this question, Xu Yan wanted to explain it thoroughly, but he couldn't do it for a while, so he could only walk with Bai Bing and the others on one of the shortcuts recorded on the map that was originally given to him by the other party, while talking about the experience he had suffered in the past few days.

Of course, during this period, he omitted the part where he saved Cai Zhenjing, after all, this matter was too sensitive, and he couldn't tell Bai Bing and others anyway, he only said that after he was seriously injured by Zhou Yu and others, he was forced to flee to Sanjing Creek, and then he had many experiences afterward.

Xu Yan took almost a full quarter of an hour from the beginning to the end, and in the process of his telling, the expressions of Bai Bing and the others can be described as complex, including amazement, worry, shock, and palpitations, and even when it was said that the disciple of Baihe Sword Village had completely died this time, Xu Yan also carefully found that Bai Bing, who was taken away in front of him, couldn't help but be in shape, and the face full of wind and frost had a very ugly white color.

"That's what I've said about all that has happened to me in the past few days. In the end, Xu Yan put a wry smile on his face and ended all his statements with this sentence.

Although Bai Bing and the five of them heard Xu Yan describe all the processes in the past few days in an understated tone, they still couldn't help but feel embarrassed by his experience.

Bai Bing, whose face had returned to normal, turned his head to Xu Yan with a hint of sympathy on his face and said, "I didn't expect that junior brother has experienced so many risks in just a few days. He sighed as if he felt empathy, and continued: "Fortunately, you finally succeeded in snatching the golden hairpin stone orchid from Zhou Yu's hands, otherwise it would really be a little more than worth the loss, but the little junior brother must not act so recklessly in the future, you are tantamount to taking your own life to exchange for the golden hairpin stone orchid, and the price is inevitably too high." ”

Seeing Xu Yan smiling and nodding in approval, Bai Bing continued to say to him: "In my opinion, in the next two tasks, it would be better for the junior brother to act with us!"

Gu Xueqing, who was walking on the side, had a similar experience of acting alone with Xu Yan before, plus there was a disciple named Wen Zheng, who had already died in front of her in an extremely miserable way, so she undoubtedly agreed with Bai Bing's team action proposed at this moment. She knew that if she acted alone, not to mention that the spirit beasts in the Huangmaojian Realm would be more powerful than those in Dengbei Mountain, it was that she accidentally met Zhou Xian, whose real identity was placed in the Lotus Sect by Yunlan Sect and became a traitor, she would definitely be in a catastrophe, after all, Zhou Xian After Xu Yan successfully escaped, he was equivalent to directly exposing his original identity.

Gu Xueqing didn't even have to think about it to know that if Zhou Xian met him in private, or if he was a lone disciple of the Lotus Sect, then the other party would never have the idea of mercy on this, but would choose to kill people without hesitation.

However, at this moment, Xu Yan, who heard Bai Bing say this, felt a little different from Gu Xueqing, because only he could realize that the other party deliberately said to him seemed very normal, but in fact, it contained another meaning, that is, Bai Bing wanted to team up with him in advance.

Originally, Xu Yan did promise Bai Bing to team up with him in this spring hunt, but the other party's proposal at that time was more about doing so after the three tasks of the spring hunt, that is, after the two of them entered the Dushan range together, but now, the other party undoubtedly chose a very good time and sent out an invitation in advance.

Xu Yan thought for a moment, and finally shook his head at Bai Bing's proposal, and replied bluntly: "For the next two tasks, I will still choose to act alone." ”

When Bai Bing heard this answer, he immediately couldn't help but raise his eyebrows, his face was a little ugly and asked: "Little junior brother, why is this, Huang Maojian is not Dengbei Mountain, the spirit beasts there are very likely to exceed the third level, and you know that Zhou Xian ...... them."

Sensing a hint of dissatisfaction in the other party's tone, Xu Yan didn't let him continue, but replied lightly: "I naturally know everything that Senior Brother Bai said, but I am indeed used to acting alone and following the team, but I can't give full play to my strength." ”

Seeing that Bai Bing still wanted to say something, Xu Yan suddenly smiled and said: "Senior Brother Bai don't have to worry, didn't I still snatch the golden hairpin stone orchid from Zhou Yu's hands? The next task is just to hunt spirit beasts and dig up their inner pills, as long as I don't take the initiative to rob Zhou Yu of their inner pills, it will be fine, and if I encounter spirit beasts of a higher level than me, I will naturally not deal with them brainlessly." ”

Bai Bing finally gave up and continued to persuade, but replied, "Alas, since that's the case, then let it be, just remember to pay attention to safety, after all, our spring hunt has just begun." ”

Hearing the other party's accentuated tone on the three words 'just started', Xu Yan naturally understood the other party's pun, he didn't answer, but nodded understandingly.

......

Due to the map that Bai Bing obtained from the so-called "trail", after Xu Yan and the six of them entered this shortcut, they went all the way to the southeast without encountering any more dangers, that is, they did not even encounter a spirit beast, so after everyone walked for about four hours, they finally came to the junction of Dengbei Mountain and Huangmaojian, and went to the evil mountain.

At this time, it was already approaching night, and twilight was approaching, but at the location of the Upper Evil Ridge, there was a bonfire that was bright, and no one knew that this bonfire had actually been in place for several days.

Chen Qinghe couldn't help but look happy when he saw Xu Yan, Bai Bing and the others coming back safely, and stepped forward and said, "It's good that you're back safely, if you don't come back, I'm going to leave to find you." ”

Xu Yan's impression of Chen Qinghe was very good, but for his words, he couldn't help but smile and shook his head.

Subsequently, Chen Qinghe saw that Zhou Xian and other disciples of the Chunzi Sect were not seen in the team, and he was a little curious to ask, "By the way, why don't you see Zhou Xian and them?"

In Chen Qinghe's cognition, although Zhou Xian had a lot of frustrations with Xu Yan, and he was a little arrogant in the sect, but in the face of a major event involving the position of the sect such as the Baishan Spring Hunt, he always felt that the other party was also a member of the Lotus Sect, and naturally he had to treat everyone equally. But unfortunately, after Xu Yan answered him next, his face instantly turned earthy.

Xu Yan replied bluntly: "Zhou Xian...... It was the traitor who had been planted by the Yunlan Sect into my sect for many years. ”
