Outside the military camp.
Yun Xian, along with Qiao Lingshan and Liang Xiao, flew lightly to the eaves of the military camp, touched the window sill, and instantly crossed a tall defense line. They quickly landed in the dry grass in the corner and lay down in ambush.
"Are you sure it got in here?" Qiao Lingshan reached out and lowered Yun Xian's restless head. "Although it's quite worn, you can still tell this is a military camp."
"Yes." Yun Xian said softly, "I saw it go in with my own eyes."
Liang Xiao looked at the several Nascent Soul stage soldier spirits coming and going and asked worriedly, "Is this really okay?"
"Don't worry." Yun Xian said solemnly, "This location will definitely not be discovered."
A faint voice came from the bushes: "Hey, I'm still here."
Yun Xian: "Who are you?"
She pulled at the grass and revealed a vaguely familiar face. It seemed like she had seen it somewhere before, but it also seemed like she had only seen it once.
Who is it?
Yun Xian didn't recognize this person, but this person did know Yun Xian and said in surprise, "Fellow Daoist Yun!"
"Yes, it's me." Yun Xian said naturally, "What a coincidence, I didn't expect you to be here too."
This person was surprised: "Miss Yun actually remembers me?"
Yun Xian: "How could I not remember? Didn't I see it there last time?"
"Yes, yes." Yao Xing's anxious heart finally settled down a bit. "The Xingyan Sect isn't good at direct confrontations. I was worried I wouldn't be able to rescue my junior sister on my own."
"Oh?" Yun Xian asked in surprise, "Did Daoist Yao's junior sister also get arrested?"
"Yes. She was captured by a captain named Liu Yong. He also seriously injured many of our disciples and drove them all off the battlefield." Yao Xing said, "Oh, by the way, my junior sister's name is Chunfang."
Yun Xian was filled with righteous indignation: "As expected. It's truly abominable!"
Qiao Lingshan: “…………”
For the first time, she had the thought that "Yun Xian was born to be the head of the sect."
After Yao Xing finished explaining his situation, he asked, "Miss Yun's companion was captured? Was it that Qin Xiu? He seems to be imprisoned in the northeast corner with my junior sister."
Yun Xian: "Did you see him? Are you sure it was him?"
"I've seen it." Yao Xing smiled shyly. "Qin Xiu is quite common. Those who look like dead fish are not so common."
Yun Xian choked and thought to himself, you really don't know how to talk.
Yao Xing: "I also think Liu Shi is mentally ill."
Yun Xian felt that he was quite good at talking.
"Miss Yun, did you see that?" Yao Xing, who had been playing hide-and-seek for who knows how long, pointed to the pocket of the retreating soldier spirit and whispered, "Every centurion has an identical stone key. I think it's most likely the key to the second gate in the city wall."
Yun Xian: "Is there any basis for this?"
Yao Xing: "The star disk detected that the stone key has a much stronger murderous aura than here."
"This is indeed strange." Yun Xian frowned and said, "This stone key is divided into two halves, black and white, which is a bit like the Tai Chi sign of Taoism."
"Oh?" Yao Xing was surprised. "Could it be that Miss Yun is also quite knowledgeable about Taoism?"
"I don't deserve it, I don't deserve it." Yun Xian said calmly, "Retreat, avoid, be gentle, restrained, simple, and clumsy. I have always vowed to use these six words as the foundation of my life."
"That's absolutely right," Yao Xing sighed. "But I've always been a little confused about the meaning of 'soft'. It's easy to say, 'Using softness to overcome hardness,' but how do you actually put it into practice? Miss Yun, could you explain it to me?"
Yun Xian was silent: "..."
Yao Xing turned around and saw Yun Xian's eyes were tightly closed. He was startled and asked, "What happened to Miss Yun?"
"I'm sorry I accidentally fell asleep just now." Yun Xian said solemnly, "But now is not the time to talk about this. Let's get down to business first."
This seemed to be a top-secret military camp on the battlefield. There were not many ordinary soldiers coming and going, and those who came and went were almost all centurions like Liu Yong. But now it seemed that they all had their own strange secrets.
There was a soldier spirit with dozens of wine gourds hanging on his body, and when he walked he was like a tree that could not bear the weight; there was a soldier spirit who was tirelessly pruning flowers and plants, and never looked back no matter what happened behind him; and there was another soldier spirit who was reading "The Art of War". At first glance, he looked very studious, but in fact, he was secretly sleeping behind the book.
As for Liu Yong, the battlefield had finally opened after so many years. He must have captured quite a few people alive in such a short period of time. Feng Ye was locked up at the back. As the only male cultivator inside, he was a little green among the crowd of red, and his tender face was dead silent: "..."
He didn't mean to look down on female cultivators, but he felt that the reason for his arrest was probably the most bizarre one.
The soldier spirits do not interfere with each other and each does their own thing. At a certain time, they will get up and leave the camp to patrol.
Yao Xing whispered the answer, "Spirituals are born from obsession and driven mad by it. After becoming a spirit, their thoughts become chaotic and they are unable to express themselves. Their unfulfilled obsession deepens and amplifies year after year, until they become insane. The only thing the soldier spirits here share is their greatest obsession: to defend this city to the death. The second greatest obsession, like Liu Yong's... uh, it should be Xiaofang at the village entrance."
It was very touching at the beginning, but it seems more and more strange the more I talk about it.
It can be seen that some of the soldiers here liked drinking, some liked gardening, and some liked fishing. They all had a wide range of interests and hobbies.
"We must rescue Feng Ye." Yun Xian said in a deep voice: "If we lose him, our Eastern Realm will lose a full one-third of its troops. I can't afford such a loss."
"Miss Yun is righteous," Yao Xing praised. "However, even if we find a gap in the handover and attack, facing Liu Yong alone, we would need to be at least at the Nascent Soul stage to deal with him."
Yun Xian is currently half a step into the Nascent Soul stage, Qiao Lingshan is at the eighth level of the Golden Core stage, and Liang Xiao is also around the eighth level of the Golden Core stage. Even if the three of them cooperate well, they can at most hold on, which is still a bit strenuous.
Yun Xian felt that there was something interesting in his tone: "Fellow Daoist Yao, do you have any ideas?"
"The Soul-Locking Formation. Miss Yun must have seen a similar formation at Liu Shi's place." Yao Xing finally touched upon his area of expertise and proudly stated, "That's what he learned from the Xingyan Sect. I can set up a formation to slow down a spirit and weaken it, but it takes a long time to prepare. Most importantly, someone needs to place the center of the formation."
After he said this, he took out a small star plate from his storage ring, which was only slightly larger than his thumb.
Although the star disk is small, it is very delicate. The stars on it are constantly floating, emitting a faint halo.
"She's so young, she should be able to do it." Yun Xian was definitely the better mover. She took the star disk and asked, "Where should I put it? The very center? Next to Feng Ye and the others?"
"It's not difficult." Yao Xing said confidently, "Just put it on top of Liu Yong's head."
Yun Xian: “…”
Qiao Lingshan: “…”
Liang Xiao: "..."
Seeing the three people's strange expressions, Yao Xing suddenly changed his tone: "Ah, actually, it doesn't necessarily have to be on the head. If it can land on his clothes, the closer it is to him, the better the effect of the formation will be."
If he didn't change his words, Yun Xian would begin to suspect that the people from the Northern Realm had ulterior motives and were out to harm him.
"Okay." Yun Xian held the star plate in his hand and waited for the right moment. "When the guy reading starts to fall asleep, I'll take action."
Qiao Lingshan dismantled the hook rope magic weapon and hung it on herself and Yun Xian. She said seriously, "Be careful. If you are discovered, I will pull you back immediately."
Yun Xian: "I understand."
Liang Xiao couldn't help but feel a little envious: "The relationship between the senior sister and the junior sister is really good."
Qiao Lingshan nearly exploded again: "Who's in a relationship with her...! This is strategy! Strategy!"
At this moment, Yun Xian keenly grasped the opportunity. When the soldier spirit closed his eyes, he stepped onto the eaves like the wind and flew forward like a dragonfly skimming the water.
It landed silently, like a snowflake drifting across the sky.
Xiao Wu had said long ago that no one was more suitable for the role of Qingyan than she was. With a light frame and well-proportioned skin, she darted through the wind like a swallow.
Liu Yong was still looking at the worn jade hairpin in his arms, missing Xiaofang from the village entrance, with whom he was destined not to be.
At this moment, the soldier spirit who was reading "The Art of War" with his eyes closed suddenly stood up, stretched, and prepared to go out of the military camp for inspection. When he turned his head, his eyes met Yun Xian who was climbing walls and flying over eaves. The three of them were shocked!
Yun Xian tapped his toes lightly and turned around in an instant, and in this breathtakingly short time, he successfully hid in the blind spot.
Qiao Lingshan and Liang Xiao let out a long sigh.
"As expected of Miss Yun!" Yao Xing also let out a long breath, and then continued, "Your movements are astonishing, as nimble as a flying dragon! This level of skill is beyond the reach of ordinary people. It's so light and graceful, it makes you fly!"
Qiao Lingshan: “…”
How much do you hate Liu Shi to have such a good impression of Yun Xian?
Feng Ye was locked up there, thinking that no one would come to save him. When he felt hopeless, his eyes suddenly lit up.
Above his head, Yun Xian made a "hush" gesture to him, then did a bicycle kick and threw something at the hem of Liu Yong's clothes as he lowered his head and thought of Fang.
The star disk seemed to be smeared with something, a big sticky lump, which stuck directly to the folds of its clothes as soon as it touched it, and stopped moving.
Feng Ye almost cried out. Beautiful!!
Yun Xian almost cried out. Taiping, your saliva actually has such a magical effect!
Things have already happened, and we can't be careless at this time. Yun Xian looked at Feng Ye again, nodded at him, then climbed back over the wall and returned along the same route.
Feng Ye tried hard to suppress his excitement. Chunfang next to him was very sensible and didn't say anything, but showed an envious expression.
This Qin Xiu is truly extraordinary. Even though he looks so useless, he still needs Miss Yun to come and save him personally. He's so lucky.
Yun Xian landed silently back in the bushes and said to Yao Xing, "I'm glad I fulfilled my mission."
"Okay!" Yao Xing clenched his fist and said solemnly, "I'll start setting up the formation!"
“…”
Yun Xian and Qiao Lingshan, with the intention of stealing Yao Xing's skills, watched intently as he set up the formation. Then they discovered a painful fact, that is, the money that should be earned should be made by others. This was really not something that humans could understand. Yun Xian looked at it for a long time, but still felt that his gestures looked like he was drawing a circle to curse you, but he could just set up an extremely complicated formation.
Liu Yong was completely unaware that golden and silver threads were faintly visible under his feet, forming, connecting, and drawing into mysterious patterns. Until the last stroke, the formation took shape. Yao Xing lightly snapped his fingers, and the formation suddenly burst into a dazzling glow!
Dozens of chains suddenly appeared under his feet, tightly entangling him. He tried to break free but couldn't. He also felt his strength being devoured bit by bit. Liu Yong's chaotic mind was burning with rage, and he roared, "Who are you?!"
Qishuang rushed in with terrifying momentum and stabbed directly in front of him, the sword still shaking slightly.
Yun Xian appeared first with a cold expression. When he stepped in, his jet-black hair fluttered in the wind. In the eyes of the people behind him, he actually had a majestic aura.
"Don't panic." She formed a sword gesture with her hands and whispered to everyone, "I'm here to save you."
Chunfang: “Ahhhhhhh!!”
Feng Ye: “Ahhhhhhh!!”
Qiao Lingshan: "..." Please stop being so cocky at this time!!
"It's you?!" Liu Yong saw the Azure Dragon totem in her hand and paused for a moment, but the spirit's brain could obviously only handle one thing at a time. The most important thing at the moment was his rage. He swung the hammer and smashed it hard on the ground. Before he could say anything, he felt a breeze passing by him, and the stone key hanging on his waist was pulled away.
Yun Xian was so uncouth that he didn't even pull slowly, and he almost ripped the man's pants off.
Liu Yong was furious: "How dare you, you brat!!"
"Why wouldn't I dare?" Yun Xian's unyielding pride was fully displayed. "You've robbed decent women...both men and women, and even multiple women. You've committed countless evil deeds. Now I'm robbing you. What do you think?"
"...Ha!" Liu Yong suddenly calmed down when he saw her holding the stone key. He said gloomily, "You want to enter the second city wall? I'll remember you. It just so happens that there are twenty-eight of my brothers, Liu Yong, inside the wall. If you are so proud and unyielding, then tell me your name!"
What! Twenty-eight brothers?!
"Am I afraid of you?"
Yun Xian chuckled and pointed her sword at the sky. She seemed to be indifferent and no matter how severe the threat was, she could not take it to heart.
Everyone was captivated by her graceful demeanor.
"I shall never change my name or surname." Yun Xian remained calm as he grasped his sword and said sternly, "Ever since the day I, Liu Xian, abandoned my knife and took up my sword, I have understood what true chivalry and courage are!"
