Chapter 167 Undercurrent

Only then did everyone realize that the young man from the Lian family had also followed them out.

Ye Guimu frowned and asked, "What are you doing here? There are so many things going on here, how can you, a Qi training stage person, participate in them?"

"Forget it, Nephew Lian's concern for his relatives is touching. So, Nephew Lian, come with me to find the mastermind behind the scenes, Mr. Mo." Ning Mingmei interrupted.

Ye Guimu’s words made Lian Chengyue feel very surprised. Fortunately, Ning Mingmei's words immediately made him feel happy.

The team was naturally divided into two groups. Kong Huan and Ye Guimu went after Rong Qi, while Ning Mingmei led many disciples to Dongji Mountain. The Wuchang disciples who stayed at the scene became the force to guard the Lingfeng Sect.

At this moment, Lian Chengyue had only one thought.

"How can I leave a good impression in front of Immortal Ning in this Qingji Summer Camp and obtain the qualification for admission?"

…

Duan Ying landed from the flying sword. She walked hurriedly among the Dongji Mountains. Lian Xiao followed closely behind her.

These people from the Qingji Sect didn't attend the birthday banquet, but instead ran off to the wilderness, flying swords and walking, so sneaky!

Lian Xiao followed Duan Ying at first because she was unwilling to accept the situation. Later, it was because she forgot the way back... She held the sound transmission note in her arms, considering whether to send a message to her family.

Then the girl in front of him suddenly disappeared!

Lian Xiao was stunned when he heard a girl's voice: "Why are you following me?"

"ah!"

Duan Ying asked the screaming Lian Xiao to shut up, and then got the reason why she was following her out of her mouth, and was speechless for a moment. She said coldly: "Han Xu?"

Lian Xiao said, "Why did Brother Xu smile at you? Let me ask you, who are you from? What is your conspiracy to come to this remote place?"

The relationship between Duan Ying and Prince Duan's mansion is cold. She said, “What does it have to do with you?”

"It seems to be a small family. You know, our Lian family and the Han family have several in-laws. In terms of relationships, you can't compare with me." Lian Xiao was proud.

Duan Ying just felt that there was no way she could communicate with this person. She said, "If you are fine, go back to your Lian family."

She walked for a while and found Lian Xiao still following her, so she asked, "What are you doing?"

Lian Xiao hesitated for a long time and said: "I, I don't know the way back..."

Duan Ying then threw the map to her and turned away.

Dongji Mountain is shrouded in fog. The two brothers disappeared shortly after entering, and Duan Ying did not dare to act on his own. She carefully observed the mountain road and sent each section of the path to Ning Mingmei's email.

However, not long after, a roar came from behind her.

The figure was ferocious and it was an extremely terrifying monster. It has a snake's head, a lion's body, and four claws like a crab. Duan Ying fought with him and killed him. Her sleeve was torn and her body was splashed with smelly liquid.

She sheathed her sword. At this moment, Lian Xiao finally stopped screaming and started sobbing instead. Duan Ying had a bad temper and said, "Didn't I tell you to get out?"

"I can't get out of this mountain!" Lian Xiao sobbed.

An ominous feeling arose in my heart. Duan Ying flew up on his sword and circled the mountain several times.

Then, she was shocked to find that she couldn't leave the mountain!

The fog in Dongji Mountain seems to be alive, hindering anyone who wants to leave the mountain. Duan Ying flew his sword in the same direction several times and returned to the same place.

Finally, she landed on the ground. Lian Xiao screamed: "What the hell did you bring me to!"

Duan Ying said nothing.

She only washed her sword by the stream and washed the smelly blood off her clothes. Then, she sent another message to Ning Mingmei, holding the sword, and continued to walk inside.

Lian Xiao followed behind her. Duan Ying was fast, and she stumbled as she chased after him. She asked her, "Aren't you afraid?"

"Since the situation is like this, we can only move forward." Duan Ying said without turning back, "Besides."

Moreover, this means that she is getting closer and closer to Lao Wu and Wen Siheng.

Lian Xiao had nowhere to go, so he had to grit his teeth and follow. Along the way, they also saw some strange corpses of magical beasts or monsters on the roadside.

Unlike Duan Ying who still had to fight for a while, these strange beasts were all killed with one sword. Duan Ying lowered her head to check and said, "It wasn't done by the brothers."

Only cultivators in the Spirit Transformation Stage can achieve this level. Lian Xiao said: "Then...was this done by the owner of the mountain who locked us up in the mountain?"

Duan Ying shook her head: "I don't think so."

No one destroys their own property.

That is to say, in this mountain, besides them and the owner of the mountain, there is another force.

The air smells of rust. Duan Ying knew that it was the smell of blood.

The message sent to Ning Mingmei's email address could no longer be received. The fog blocked the signal. Duan Ying was silent for a moment, then opened another thing Ning Mingmei had prepared for her.

A magical instrument called a recorder.

"I am Duan Ying. We have now entered Dongji Mountain. There is thick fog in Dongji Mountain, making it impossible to leave. Now, I will continue to explore forward."

"I encountered a strange monster on the road. This monster didn't look like an original monster, but seemed to be glued together. Black smoke was coming out of its joints."

"There is no point in staying where I am. Now I will move on."

Duan Ying decided to keep all her records. She had lived in silence in the palace all her life, and she didn't want to remain silent even when she was closest to death.

As for Lian Xiao, she only threw her a magic weapon: "If you are afraid, stay here and find a place to hide."

Lian Xiao wiped her tears fiercely behind her: "What about you? Why do you..."

Duan Ying's experiences from childhood to adulthood have taught her that passive avoidance never has good results under any circumstances. But there is no need to tell this to Lian Xiaoyan.

Duan Ying has never had any friends.

It was Piaomiao Peak that reached out to her only eight years ago.

She just turned and left, leaving Lian Xiao there. Lian Xiao looked at the girl whom he had just criticized as "ugly". She gritted her teeth, clenched the knife tightly, and followed.

Only half a mile later, she saw a horrifying scene that she had never seen since she was a child.

The small village was littered with corpses and even the water was dyed red.

Duan Ying, who had been very cold just now, now turned pale. She looked at the pile of corpses in the village, her fingers trembling slightly.

Lian Xiao didn't have time to think about how there could be a village in such a strange mountain. She held back her vomiting and looked inside -

"Someone! Someone is still moving!" she said.

Duan Ying looked in the direction her finger pointed. Next to the pile of corpses, there lay a young girl.

At this moment, several miles away.

"It looks like more little bugs have entered Dongji Mountain." said the woman in green.

"Don't worry about the little bugs." The man in gray said, "Business is more important."

He lowered his head, calculating the way out of the Dongjishan formation.

The woman in green cleaned the long knife and said, "Chang Jing really did a lot of disgusting things without telling us. A whole village of monster test subjects, alive, dead, spliced ​​together, and some test subjects with human faces. It was a wrong choice to let him know the existence of 'Hunlun'."

"The people of Lingfeng Sect only know that Chang Jing will make the most useful minions for them, but they don't know that Chang Jing uses this as a base to conduct his own experiments in private. Half of the demon beasts sent by Lingfeng Sect were trained by Chang Jing and sent back to them. The other half became Chang Jing's experimental subjects."

"Chang Jing does know some ways to control them. Some of the controllable experimental subjects were used by Chang Jing as guards, just like the ones we killed along the way. In addition, he also found some subordinates, coerced and bribed them to study Hunlun with him and use it to transform living beings. 'Hunlun' is a force we must rely on, and we must not let outsiders know about it." The woman in green said, "These people must die."

She listened to the gray-robed man remain silent for a long time, raised her eyebrows and said: "You are really cultivating yourself now."

The man in gray said calmly, "Yes. They all must die."

"Liu Shuang is always worried about you." said the woman in green.

The man in gray said, "She is well taken care of by you... The formation is only a little short of perfection."

In the valley not far away, the long-haired young man raised his head.

Lao Wu was chopping wood for him behind him. Early this morning, he thought the long-haired young man was careless, so he took the initiative to do the work for him.

He raised his eyes and looked at the young man. The young man was boiling two pots of herbs.

I don't know what the herb is made of, but it has a faint strange fragrance. The young man said that it was a specialty of Dongji Mountain. He gave one pot to Mu Hanshan and one pot to Lao Wu. Lao Wu watched him put the medicine in, took a quick look himself, and felt that there was nothing wrong.

Just a woman appeared at the door. She has fine hair and upturned eyes. Lao Wu remembered her, she was Xue Li from yesterday.

Her eyes were filled with suppressed anxiety.

Lao Wu looked at her, but inexplicably read something in her eyes.

--fear.

Xue Li's arrival surprised the long-haired young man. He was talking to Xue Li outside the door.

"Tang Wan went out early in the morning and hasn't come back yet. Is it..."

"Go find Tang Wan now, if you still want to..."

"Who on earth is here...how many things have you hidden from us?"

"Xue Li, remember. We don't need you here." The long-haired young man just smiled and said, "I've said it before. You and Tang Wan just need to study... that... here for a few days. It's enough. She took the initiative to go back to get the information, so it's not my fault. What's more."

"Think carefully about why you came to me."

Xue Li was unable to speak for a moment. She dug her nails into her palms and immediately saw the two pots of herbs. She then lowered her voice and said, "You have to give them a drink..."

"When the situation is critical, the more people the better," said the young man.

Xue Li: "But they look like..."

That person’s fellow apprentices.

The young man only glanced at her lightly: "I almost forgot."

"Go give that man some dose and let him out." As he said this, he looked down at the jade token he used to communicate with Lingfeng Sect.

After seeing the jade token, he said calmly: "Finally, there is some good news."

He moved his fingers and sent a message of his location to Rong Qi. The young man has been in the underworld for many years and always has many tricks up his sleeve.

But there are still a few people from Qingji Sect coming here. One of them was the famous "Ning Mingmei" whom he had long heard of.

"What will it be like when a master and a disciple meet?" he said to himself.

Xue Li thought, he must be crazy.

She looked at him, finally gritted her teeth, and headed in the direction where the man was detained.

The young man simply returned to the courtyard. Lao Wu was still chopping wood with his head down. The young man said to him, "You are so diligent at home? Your mother must like you very much."

Lao Wu shook his head and said, "I don't have any parents."

"No brothers or sisters either?"

Lao Wu still shook his head.

Thinking of this, he suddenly said, "People in the city once said that I had parents."

"Hmm?" The young man stirred the medicine.

"They said my parents fled to that city. There was famine all over the place. My brother was smarter, but I was dull and stupid. So they wanted to sell me for half a bag of rice." Lao Wu said, "But there were some twists and turns in the process. My parents took my brother away, and I became a beggar."

He lowered his head and continued chopping wood: "But, these are all things of the past..."

Suddenly, he heard the sound of broken vessels.

"Oh, I was so careless that I accidentally knocked things over... Fortunately, your friend's bowl is still there," said the young man.

He looked at Lao Wu who dragged him to the well to wash his arm without explanation, so he muttered: "Is it that serious..."

Lao Wu said, “Yes.”

As he lifted the bucket, he heard the young man say, "Perhaps when you lift the bucket, you will find a body at the bottom of the well."

Lao Wu, who picked up a bucket of water, said: "..."

The young man smiled and said, "Oh, I was just kidding."

He lowered his eyes and looked at his arms, not knowing what he was thinking. Soon after, he said, "Don't take care of me. Go and take the medicine to your friend."
