Continue to complete the task...
After hearing Fang Yuan's words, all the cultivators in the field were silent for a moment.
Even Song Longzhu, the most cheerful person, could not say anything cheerful at this time.
They naturally knew that they should continue to complete the task. After all, they came in this time to complete this task, and they knew the importance of this matter to the entire Tianyuan. But the key is, knowing is knowing, but in this situation , is already so desperate, the possibility of completing the task is so small that it is difficult to estimate, how can he say this so easily
But Fang Yuan didn't explain too much. He just said what he was thinking, and sat down cross-legged in the valley. He sat quietly without saying anything, nor did he seem to be preparing to do anything. Sit cross-legged without moving, and think carefully.
The people around him didn't know whether to disturb him or not, so they felt uneasy and silent for a while.
In the empty valley, the atmosphere was extremely depressing.
"Shall we go over there to find out some information?"
After a long time, Song Longzhu couldn't help but cautiously opened his mouth.
Fang Yuan shook his head and remained silent.
Song Longzhu stopped talking.
After another long while, he couldn't help but said again: "Would you like to discuss the next plan?"
Fang Yuan shook his head but still didn't speak.
Song Longzhu had no choice but to close his mouth again.
After a while, Song Longzhu sighed: "You said that the Lord of Darkness..."
Everyone around him glared at him.
Song Longzhu scratched his head helplessly, and had no choice but to shut up and stop talking again. He turned around and hugged Hou Guier, shaking his head and sighing.
At this moment, the golden ring in Fang Yuan's palm suddenly trembled slightly again, and a spiritual light flickered.
All the cultivators were immediately startled, and all turned their heads to look over.
Then I heard a spiritual thought coming from inside the golden ring, trembling in the void, and a girl's gasping voice came out: "Fang Yuan, my senior brother Qin Luan stopped the four envoys, let us After escaping, he gave me the golden ring and asked me to borrow it to find you. Now many of us are injured, and there are dark messengers chasing us behind, hot on our heels... "
It was clear that this voice belonged to Li Hongxiao.
When the practitioners heard this, they were naturally surprised and happy.
Although they knew that the Saint Xuanzong was dead, that Wang Zhou was controlled by evil laws, and that Qin Chaos was even more unreasonable, the three leaders who entered the Dragon Trail this time were definitely one more who survived. Even if it’s just one, one more will bring more power.
"Should we... go pick them up?"
Song Longzhu felt nervous, jumped up in a hurry, and shouted in a low voice.
Fang Yuan held the golden ring in his hand and injected a burst of mana. Holding the golden ring in his hand, he faintly felt a faint sense coming towards Fang Yuan. Through this golden ring, he could sense the location of the other golden ring. He could also sense that the other party was moving hurriedly, but in the face of the anxious eyes of everyone around him, he finally shook his head without speaking or moving.
He just put down the golden ring and continued to meditate.
It seemed like he was thinking hard about something, or like he was sitting there in a daze.
Song Longzhu and others immediately didn't know what to say.
At this time, those people escaped, but they didn’t know how many were alive, let alone how many people were chasing them. It was a dangerous time. If they went to rescue them, maybe they could save one more person every time they went there earlier. , but why did Fang Yuan just sit here and let time pass by? Aren't you worried that those who finally escaped will lose again
On the other hand, Luo Feiling, after being sad for a while, wiped the tears from her face, stood up from the ground, sat next to Fang Yuan, and asked something in a low voice. After receiving Fang Yuan's answer, her face became pale. There was a look of determination.
Then... she just sat there in a daze with Fang Yuan!
Song Longzhu was so anxious that he almost broke Hou Guier's neck, but still couldn't stop him from looking at Xu Yuren.
Time passed minute by minute, and Fang Yuan still made no move.
Divine thoughts have been transmitted from the golden ring several times, but Fang Yuan did not even explore the contents inside.
It wasn't until most of the day passed that Hou Gui'er was almost out of breath that Fang Yuan suddenly stood up. Song Longzhu and others thought he was finally going to take action, but Fang Yuan just left the golden ring where he was. Then he took them to an open place above the valley, and then covered the valley with a black and yellow aura. They continued to sit down and continued to concentrate on their deductions.
Song Longzhu and others were almost desperate, so they could only look at each other helplessly and wait patiently.
I just don’t understand in my heart: “Lao Fang usually looks good, why is he so cold-hearted at this time?”
…
…
Almost another day passed in this way, and another deep night had ushered in the dragon trail. Suddenly, they felt a spiritual light coming from the north. Song Longzhu and others immediately cheered up and concentrated. Looking down, he saw a dozen figures rushing over in the night, stopping around the valley, and shouted hurriedly: "Where are the people? Where are the others?"
Among this group of people, a woman in red clothes came out and rushed into the valley. After searching for a long time, she saw the golden ring left by Fang Yuan on the big blue stone. Her face immediately became a little sad. Silently, he turned to look at those people.
"He...he's not here?"
The voices of the group of monks who came over immediately seemed a little nervous.
The vitality of this group of people has been extremely low. It can be seen that most of them are injured, and some are even missing arms and legs. The injuries are so serious that they can barely breathe. It can be seen that they have just escaped the pursuit all the way. , it was not easy, and judging from the direction they came from, it was from the north. It can be seen that they were also worried that someone was behind them, so they deliberately went around far away.
But I came all the way just to find Fang Yuan, but now I saw only the golden ring and no one. It is understandable that I feel disappointed.
"That man... Could it be that he was too cowardly and left the golden ring here and ran away..."
"Damn it, my Taoist brother Qin Luan wants us all to listen to him..."
“…”
“…”
For a time, some anxious and angry people couldn't help shouting.
But Li Hongxiao kept calm at this time and said coldly: "This valley is quite hidden, let's heal first!"
The cultivators around her took one look at her and could only shut their mouths angrily. In terms of cultivation, many of them may be higher than Li Hongxiao, but in terms of identity and status, even if they are Taoists, they must still be inferior to Li Hongxiao. A bit of respect, plus when Qin Luanwu gave them a chance to escape, he gave everything in his hand to Li Hongxiao. To a certain extent, it represented trust.
In this chaotic situation, they also know what to say and what to do.
At this time, although the anger was burning in my heart and the lingering fear was still lingering, I had no choice but to sit down and swallow pills to heal my wounds.
On the top of the mountain that was not far away, Song Longzhu and others looked at Fang Yuan one by one and hesitated to speak. They did not expect that Fang Yuan actually endured his temper and did not respond to these people at all. , but they had to look for it on their own. Even after they looked for it, they had no intention of showing up to meet them. Instead, they still stayed on the top of the mountain.
Just when he was feeling anxious and helpless, he saw Fang Yuan stand up.
They were excited for a while, but they saw Fang Yuan make a silent gesture to them, then spread out his green robe and flew straight into the eastern sky. Under the black and yellow energy, his energy almost completely disappeared in the sky. It flew between heaven and earth at an astonishing speed, like lightning, and disappeared into the sky. About half an hour later, it circled back from the west.
Song Longzhu and others realized it. He must have gone around to check if anyone was hiding behind these people.
Judging from the time of this exploration, he may have checked thousands of miles around.
"That person ran away and didn't dare to show up. We are a group of defeated soldiers. How can we do that mission again?"
"Is it... just to retreat like this and abandon the mission without caring about it?"
"You are talking nonsense, we are still breathing, we still have arms and legs, how can we abandon the mission and ignore it?"
"Haven't you thought of the most critical question?"
Someone laughed bitterly: "One of the jade jues of the three team leaders was given to Princess Hongji by my Taoist brother Qin Luan, one was in the hands of the six leaders, and the other was lost in the main hall. It must have been lost to the darkness. Once the envoy gets it, we can't leave even if we want to. Unless too much time has passed and people outside guess that something happened to us, it will be possible to open the secret realm from the outside... "
"Oh my god, we can't leave, and we can't complete the mission. The Dark Messenger must be looking for us. Could it be that we..."
"...You can only wait here to die?"
“…”
“…”
Just when they were talking in low voices and despairing in their hearts, Fang Yuan suddenly stood up, waved his hand to take away the black and yellow aura that covered the top of the mountain, and then a blue cloud rose up and slowly moved towards the mountain below. The valley fell.
"who is it?"
All the cultivators were frightened. When they saw the blue clouds coming, they were all frightened and jumped up and shouted loudly.
Soon, they saw Fang Yuan's face clearly. His expression relaxed for a moment, and some even showed excitement. But soon, some people became angry and shouted in a low voice: "We have come to find you." It’s been a long time, why are you showing up now?”
"We were being chased along the way and suffered heavy casualties. Why didn't you... go and respond?"
"You... if you can help a little bit, Brother Su Dao and Brother Mo won't have to stay behind in order to stop the pursuers..."
“…”
“…”
Facing this look of either anger or sadness, Fang Yuan's expression remained unchanged.
He just slowly looked over the faces of the cultivators in the valley. He saw Ban Feiyuan who had lost an arm, and also saw Uncle Lu who was covered in blood. He saw that his body was covered with bloody red spots, and he was lying on the ground. Yuan Xiao, who was uncertain about his life or death, found himself on a boulder. He also saw Meng Tianli, who had a gloomy face and was hiding behind the crowd without speaking. His face gradually turned cold.
"I won't respond because if you don't have the ability to escape from their pursuit, you won't be qualified to do this mission again!"
After a long time, he said something solemnly, and then his eyes swept over these people with some strangeness, especially those from aristocratic families. There seemed to be some killing intent on his face, and he spoke slightly: "So many people have died, why are you still here?" Alive?"
