"Little apprentice... little apprentice?"
I was shaken twice, and suddenly opened my eyes, what I saw was Xiao Yihan's slightly frowning face, with his hand still on my shoulder, when he saw my eyes open, he asked me, "Have you had a nightmare?"
I blinked my eyes and felt a bit of wet water icy across my cheeks and fell into my mouth.
I suddenly woke up, wiped my tears, and felt embarrassed. I opened Xiao Yihan's hand and stood up. Xiao Yihan stuck one hand with me, and he also stood up, his eyes kept staring at me. , seems to be very concerned.
But I find it very funny. The third sin of Xiao Yihan in my heart is that he is the most ruthless person I have ever met in my life. The last thing that should not appear on his face is the look of concern.
"It doesn't matter." I said, "What time is it?"
"It's about Mo Yin's time."
"Are you rested?"
I asked him, but he looked recklessly on my face, avoiding my question and not answering: "What kind of nightmare did you have?"
To deal with people like Xiao Yihan, I had no choice but to use his tricks, and also said as if I hadn't heard his words: "Have a rest, let's go on our way now."
As soon as I raised my hand and ignored Xiao Yihan, Yu Jian was about to leave, but Xiao Yihan pulled my other hand and held it in his palm: "Little apprentice, while I was away, you had a good time in Xianling Mountain. not good?"
As soon as my lips moved, the emotion in my chest was almost unstoppable. But in the end, I still endured it and said coldly: "What's the use of asking these questions, you just need to know that after closing the loophole in the seal of human and demon, I still want to kill you, that's all."
Xiao Yihan was silent after listening.
I pulled my hand out of his palm, and just as I was about to do a sword-fighting technique, a strange wind suddenly blew from the side. I was stunned for a moment, then looked up, and the moment Xiao Yihan looked at each other, I understood the thoughts in his eyes—
Demonic.
With a sound of "swoosh", an arrow blade came out of the sky, and I dodged sideways. I thought it was all right and there was no problem, but I never thought that the sharp arrow exploded at a distance of no more than three inches from me. Countless fine needles pierced straight at me.
I was stunned for a moment, but at this moment of daze, I saw a faint blue light flashing in front of me. It was Xiao Yihan's enchantment unfolding in front of me, blocking out all those fine needles.
Xiao Yihan pulled me behind him. stood in front of me.
His back is still as tall and straight as he was many years ago when he helped me block that banshee.
I lost my mind for a moment, and when I regained my senses, I immediately said, "I can solve it myself without your help." I wanted to stand up from behind him, but Xiao Yihan controlled my hand and let me stay behind him.
"I'm not helping you, this is for me," he said, "you stay honest."
When he said this, it was not easy for me to do it. If I had to stand in front, it seemed like I was rushing to help him.
After the hurried arrow just now, there was no movement in the forest. I looked left and right, but Xiao Yihan was not in a hurry.
After saying that, the brilliance in his palm appeared, and the frost long sword was condensed. He seemed to make a very random stroke, and saw the sharp blade draw a crescent-like arc in the dark night, whistling away into the dark woods, Wherever he went, the blue and thin light destroyed Gu Laxiu, generally smashing the dense trees in the forest to ashes. In the rumbling sound of this blow, mixed with the screams and wailing of unknown number of sneak attackers.
The blue light disappeared, the vegetation in the forest was completely destroyed, and the monsters who came to attack were no longer covered. Some of them fell to the ground, and some of them were barely able to hold their bodies and stand in place.
I stood behind Xiao Yihan and looked at him blankly.
No wonder, so many assassins I hired over the years were unable to get rid of Xiao Yihan. His current cultivation level is much higher than before.
Xiao Yihan walked towards the nearest monster, and I was forced to follow him. Walking to the monster lying on the ground unable to move, Xiao Yihan kicked off his clothes with his toes, but when he saw the tag on his waist, he raised his eyebrows: "It's you again."
When I saw the listing, I was also taken aback: "It's actually you?" I blurted out, "Isn't the mission over?"
Xiao Yihan turned to look at me: "What mission?"
"… "
I looked into Xiao Yihan's eyes, thought for a while, and thought, anyway, I've made it clear that I'm going to kill him now, and it's no big deal to let him know these things. I said calmly: "The assassination organization I hired was on the list and gave them money to kill you."
"Ha!" Xiao Yihan smiled in disbelief, and then he was silent for a long time, "Little apprentice, you hate me to the bone."
It was obviously a joke, but when Xiao Yihan said this, he turned his head so that I couldn't see his expression.
Of course, I didn't really care about his expression at this time, I kicked the monster's foot on the ground, frowned and asked, "When I went to post the list, I never heard that your organization would invite monsters to do business. , Say, what's going on with your organization?"
I am a cultivator. Although I hired an assassination organization, I still abide by the rules of immortal cultivators and will never hire monsters to do things. And that assassination organization was also led by a fairy sect, and it was never said that there were monsters among them.
But I just asked a question here, but I saw that the monster bit something in its mouth, swallowed it, tilted its head, and bleeds from its seven orifices, and just took the poison and committed suicide.
I looked up and saw that the monster, whether standing or lying down just now, had already taken the poison and committed suicide.
Confidentiality is... so strict? It's not like a normal assassination organization would do.
I turned to look at Xiao Yihan, only to see Xiao Yihan frowned, he turned to look at me: "I'm afraid, we really have to hurry to Yuquan."
No more delay, Xiao Yihan and I immediately set off on the road, I walked with him on the sword, my speed was a little behind him, I tried hard to catch him, and finally Xiao Yihan glanced at me, and actually pulled me directly. to his sword.
I pushed him, but he said solemnly: "It's faster this way."
Yes... he is indeed faster.
I recited in my mind about the world a thousand times, and then endured his contact.
But I was standing close to my body, hurrying on the road in silence. There was nothing but clouds in the sky. I felt a little embarrassed, so I said to him, "I only invited them to the assassination organization just now. After withdrawing the mission, I went down to the mountain gate by myself. This second time I don't know why they came, you should reflect on your recent actions. "
"I know why they came." Xiao Yihan answered affirmatively.
I turned my head to look at him: "You left Immortal Gate, what are you doing in this world?"
He remained silent, but just when I thought he would not answer me at all, he said, "I'm going to the devil world to find my relatives."
This answer was completely beyond my expectations. I never knew that Xiao Yihan actually had a relative, and the masters and ancestors never mentioned it to me... By the way, about Xiao Yihan, the elders of Xianlingmen deliberately kept their mouths shut. .
"Who is your relative and why are you in the devil world?"
Xiao Yihan was silent for a moment, obviously not wanting to answer this question, so he picked up my previous question and answered: "The assassination organization you are looking for is inextricably linked with the demon world. Although the seal between the human and demon worlds was established a hundred years ago Get up, but there are still remnants of the devil in the world, they hide their identities, wait for the opportunity, and always want to find loopholes to open the seal in order to return to the world.
"The people from this organization you hired were some wandering cultivators. They couldn't kill me. I caught someone who was greedy for life. After inquiring, I found out that this organization has been helping the remnants of the demon race. They have been looking for the weak point between the seals of the two realms. I found clues from them. I captured the time and place where the weak point of the seal will appear recently. They opened the passage between the two realms one step before them. It only leaked a hole, but it had huge power, and I didn't hold it back for a while, which caused the demonic energy to leak." Xiao Yihan shook his head and glanced at me, "Good disciple, thanks to you for being here in time."
In this way, I accidentally helped him secretly and let him find the seal loophole...
"Perhaps they sensed the leakage of demonic energy today, so they searched for it at night."
I lowered my head and looked at the hands that Xiao Yihan and I were clasping tightly: "How about you wait until the loophole is put into the bottom of the Yuquan Pond? Go directly to the devil world?"
Xiao Yihan didn't answer me.
On the next journey, he and I were speechless all the way, each pondering our own affairs.
Xiao Yihan's Yujian traveled extremely fast, and he arrived at Yuquan Pond within half an hour, which was more than half a day faster than I expected.
He and I put our sticky hands into the pool together. Xiao Yihan closed his eyes and chanted a spell. I only felt that the suction between Xiao Yihan and Xiao Yihan's palms gradually diminished, and the black air slowly penetrated into the spring water, but It didn't spread, as if it had been solidified. The black gas gradually condensed into a circle at the bottom of the pool. It was the same black hole that I saw the day before yesterday, but there was no magic energy seeping out, and the pool water was still clear. .
Sure enough, as Xiao Yihan said, this jade spring water suppressed the demonic energy.
My hand and Xiao Yihan's hand were finally separated. He pulled out his hand, and my palm was immediately soaked by the icy cold water.
He looked at me and smiled: "Okay, little apprentice, you can go."
Without saying a word, I drew my sword out of its sheath: "If I kill you, I will naturally leave." I said, "I haven't heard of any relatives you have in Xianling Mountain for so many years. You are just trying to lie to me. Seal the loophole. Here, I will not let anyone go through this loophole."
Who knows the real purpose of Xiao Yihan going to the devil world. I don't trust him with this guy's willful way of doing things.
Xiao Yihan laughed even more happily when he heard my words. He took a step forward, his chest directly on the tip of my sword: "Little apprentice, I said, you won't kill me, do you believe it?"
