It is another quiet night, as cool as water.
Cold fog filled the entire forest. In the forest, there was a faint sound of footsteps. Four masked men in black clothes appeared in the cold fog. Each of them had a black scarf covering his head, and only a pair of bright eyes flashing.
Previously, Zhou Yi and Qin Ge had attracted the attention of Xiaoxiang Pavilion by fighting their way along the southwest waterway. Masters from all directions came one after another, instantly making the peaceful Jingxiang area extremely lively.
And this was exactly Zhou Yi's purpose. While the masters of Xiaoxiang Pavilion were heading west, Zhou Yi immediately turned north, crossed the Yangtze River quietly, and joined Murong Yanran who had gone ahead to investigate the secret branch originally discovered by Murong Chunqiu.
The night was still deepening, and the cold fog in the forest was getting thicker and thicker. Everyone could feel that the dew on their bodies was already very heavy, but the atmosphere at this moment was even more solemn.
The cold fog in the night was thicker and denser, so thick that even the wide official road was hidden from time to time. Looking at it in the pitch-black night, it looked like half a tongue sticking out of a demon's mouth. A fast horse galloped into the foggy mountains from a distance.
Zhou Yi's right eye twitched a little, and he thought to himself, "Is this the guy we're following?"
Murong Yanran nodded and replied, "Yes, I followed the clues my brother left behind and spent a long time tracking him down. We must be careful tonight and must not alert the enemy."
Qiu Ruoshui, who was standing behind him, couldn't help but widen her eyes when she saw Zhou Yi and Murong Yanran chatting enthusiastically in front of her.
Qin Ge patted her shoulder and explained in a low voice: "Murong Chunqiu was killed by someone else and then framed Qianbei Buzui. We should track down the real murderer normally. Don't be too weird."
Hearing this, Qiu Ruoshui couldn't help but reveal a look of utter shock, but then returned to normal and nodded solemnly.
Zhou Yi and his group followed the fast horses in front closely, concealing their breath and moving quietly, until the figure of an ancient castle appeared in everyone's sight.
The castle is huge and magnificent at night. From a distance, it looks like an ancient temple in the mountains with hundreds of years of history. The castle is brightly lit at this time, which makes the wooden bridge and the river in front of the gate seem quiet and peaceful. It has an ancient style and a quiet charm.
Watching the man riding his horse across the wooden bridge and quickly entering the ancient castle, several people immediately followed. Zhou Yi took Murong Yanran, who had slightly weaker martial arts skills, while Qin Ge went with Qiu Ruoshui and his group. This way, they could act separately and more freely, which would increase the chances of making discoveries.
Zhou Yi climbed up to observe the layout of the house for a while, then immediately led Murong Yanran and turned around and rushed towards the depths of the northwest.
After walking for a while, the two saw a house with peculiar decorations. On the altar in the middle of the door, there was a stone sculpture of an eight-trigram alchemy furnace. This must be the alchemy room without a doubt.
Murong Yanran quickly poked Zhou Yi's arm, obviously wanting to go in and investigate. Zhou Yi nodded and immediately slowed down and walked over.
With a creaky sound, Zhou Yi had just pushed open the door of the pharmacy when a deep voice shouted from behind: "Who are you? Stop."
Zhou Yi was startled and slowly turned around, secretly activating the Jiuxiao True Qi in his hands, ready to attack with all his strength once the truth was revealed.
I saw two petite women in black standing behind me, probably the people in this castle.
"Who are you? Why have I never seen you before?" One of the female disciples looked at her with suspicion.
Zhou Yi was extremely anxious, but he didn't dare to show any abnormality. At this moment, he suddenly had an idea and said, "Sisters, I have only just joined the sect. It has not been long, so I am not familiar with you."
The female disciple asked, "What kind of medicine does an ordinary disciple like you need to bring? Don't you know our rules? Ordinary disciples cannot enter the alchemy room."
"I'm sorry, I'm new here and don't know the rules yet. Please forgive me, sisters." Zhou Yi explained without changing his expression.
Before Zhou Yi finished speaking, Murong Yanran beside him suddenly said in a stern voice: "Wait, you are not from here at all..."
Before Murong Yanran finished speaking, a handful of copper coins had already been thrown out from the opposite side. The two were completely caught off guard at such a close distance. Fortunately, Zhou Yi was quick-witted and pulled Murong Yanran behind him. Zhou Yi, relying on the Nine Heavens Qi to protect his body, withstood this round of volleys of gold coins.
Murong Yanran obviously had not expected this situation, and she was even more stunned by the shock. In horror, she uttered a sharp cry for help, a woman's unique cry, which could be heard almost within a radius of three miles.
As she screamed, Zhou Yi had no time to think about anything and rushed into the alchemy room. This was his last chance.
The furnishings in the alchemy room seemed a bit messy. In the center of the room, on the high platform, there was a furnace for refining medicine. There was a blazing fire burning under the furnace, and beside it were all kinds of medicine bottles, utensils, and materials.
After the two people behind him were seen through by Murong Yanran, they did not show any intention of escaping. Instead, they kept following Zhou Yi and the other two and chased in
Zhou Yi was very anxious. If he made too much noise here and was noticed by others, he was afraid that the news of his investigation here would leak out.
We must not fail here.
Zhou Yi gritted his teeth, a fierce look flashed in his eyes. Taking advantage of the narrow terrain of the house, he turned around and swung out with his sword.
The rain of swords was vast and diffuse.
The all-permeating green sword energy spread throughout the entire alchemy room like mercury pouring out from the ground, with each sword energy showing its sharp edge and surging out, rushing straight towards the two people behind him.
The two "young girls" behind him, seeing the fierce sword energy coming towards them from Zhou Yi, their faces suddenly changed, they looked at each other, and attacked almost at the same time.
Wind God Kick—The wind sweeps away the broken building!
Shanhai Fist Classic—Dragon Scale Breaks the Sun!
One punch and one palm, complementing each other. The violent leg force, like a tornado sweeping across the earth, swept up everything in the alchemy room one after another, and carried the unfathomable fist force in the center, which was as deep as the sea, showing the wonderful combination of hardness and softness, and unparalleled might, and blasted towards Zhou Yi.
In an instant, there was a deafening roar that was enough to make ghosts cry and gods howl, and the sky was filled with smoke and dust, and the endless sound of energy collisions immediately intertwined into a magnificent piece of music!
After a while, the sky was filled with flying wood and dust. The sky and earth were dark. The scene was extremely horrifying. The vibrating and scattered Qi not only completely changed the appearance of the alchemy room in an instant, but even the thousand-jin alchemy furnace between the two people was turned into a ball of powder by such a blow.
The three of them dispersed and stood facing each other in silence on both sides of the alchemy room. After a long time, Zhou Yi couldn't help but laugh as he carefully looked at the "graceful" figures of the two people in front of him.
"Wu Tianxia, you two shemales really have a bad taste! Hahaha!" (To be continued)
