Chen Guanshui was dragged into the lake and was caught off guard and swallowed several mouthfuls of lake water.

He quickly curled up and pulled away the hand that was holding his ankle, but was soon punched in the face again.

The punch was so powerful that Chen Guanshui saw stars and his whole body was pushed backwards by the force - he was not hurt, but it hurt.

"Are you crazy?" Chen Guanshui barely managed to steady himself and roared in the water.

His voice finally managed to be heard through a series of frantically surging bubbles.

An Zhisu was still using her hands and feet, paddling towards him like a mermaid, with some kind of angry, persistent flame burning in her eyes:

“Lingyun Po!”

Chen Guanshui was shocked and quickly swam towards the surface of the lake, trying to distance himself from her again, but he said:

"Who is Ling Yunpo?"

"Don't pretend, I know it's you!" An Zhisu gritted her teeth, "Who else but you would not have the slightest intention to kill me?"

Chen Guanshui was stunned when he heard this, and started cursing in his heart.

I had planned everything, but I hadn't expected this!

You know, An Zhisu's attack just now came so fast that he subconsciously thought that the other party wanted to kill him, so he didn't have time to think deeply. He could only defend himself awkwardly and then run for his life.

But this escape brought about a problem - you know, which monk in this world would just take a beating without fighting back?

Even if it's a rabbit, if you pinch its throat, it will bite you!

An Zhisu attacked with all her might, but found that not only did the stranger not fight back with a killing move, he didn't even have the slightest intention to kill him. What does this mean?

How could someone who is not extremely close to you have such a reaction? ! ! !

Thinking of this, Chen Guanshui wanted to slap himself a few times. He hated Senior Sister An even more for being so shameless as to test their relationship.

But he still said stubbornly:

"Don't push your luck. I just couldn't bear to hurt you because you are so young and beautiful."

"How can you be so heartless?" Seeing that he was still quibbling, An Zhisu smiled miserably, his expression becoming more and more sad and desolate, "Nonsense..."

"If you are not Ling Yunpo, and I have tried to kill you, you can just come and kill me."

At the end, she suddenly shouted angrily:

"If you keep saying you can't bear it, your life will be gone!"

Before he finished speaking, the Hanlie Sword and the Feiyan Sword shone brightly at the same time, and the Taoist magic on the swords rushed towards Chen Guanshui like a tidal wave.

Seeing that she was serious about it, Chen Guanshui was immediately furious and wanted to destroy her...

No, I still can’t do it!

All the little bits and pieces of memories with his senior sister in the past came to his mind, and the murderous intent disappeared instantly.

Knowing that he could not possibly deal heavy damage to An Zhisu, Chen Guanshui did not dare to stay any longer. He quickly used his sword to dodge the attack and fled as fast as he could.

An Zhisu chased him relentlessly, and Chen Guanshui panicked and rushed towards the underwater entrance of Jinghu Temple.

There was originally a thunder restriction at the entrance, but it was later lifted by Wei Dongliu and his group, so the two of them rushed into the Mirror Lake Palace unscathed.

The sword light passed through the water film and the corridor, and at the end there was a huge mirror standing close to the wall.

While Chen Guanshui was flying the sword, he took a quick glance and saw his own reflection in the mirror. It was still the ever-changing appearance of the faceless man.

What happened? In the past, I had multiple accounts, so you said I had no face, and that was fine; now that I am playing myself, why am I still this faceless person?

He was filled with doubts, but soon he had a vague understanding:

The mask has been worn for a long time and has grown into the flesh. It cannot be torn off just like that.

Chen Guanshui had nothing to do with An Zhisu, so why couldn't he kill her? It was because of the mask called Ling Yunpo!

An Zhisu followed and glanced quickly at the mirror, and saw that herself in the mirror was in tattered clothes, covered with bruises, and many of the wounds were still bleeding.

But the reflection still held the sword tightly in its hand, and stared at itself through the mirror with stubbornness.

"...What evil magic did you use on me again?" An Zhisu shouted loudly, confirming that there were no scars on his body.

"It's not some evil method." Chen Guanshui, who was flying in front, actually answered, "How long are you going to chase me?"

"Ling Yunpo! If you don't run, I won't chase you!" An Zhisu became more and more angry.

"That's enough!" Chen Guanshui rushed into the hall and saw the projection of An Zhisu created by the mirror standing in front of him.

The other person was also in tattered clothes, covered in blood, but with a dark smile, he said to Chen Guanshui and An Zhisu who rushed in:

"Well, well, you're just in time! The man is heartless and the woman is blind. It would be better to kill them both, and then we'll have peace of mind!"

As soon as she finished speaking, she suddenly turned into a sword light, and she and the sword became one. The sword light surged dozens of feet and rushed towards Chen Guanshui fiercely.

It should be noted that the strength of the projection in the mirror is often one level higher than the original body, so the sword light is so powerful and strong that it is almost close to the late stage of the Nascent Soul Realm.

Even so, what should I be afraid of?

Chen Guanshui sneered in his heart. Although he couldn't kill An Zhisu, he had no mercy on this projection. He was about to suppress it with the force of thunder and then continue to escape, but he saw a sword light coming from behind. It was actually Senior Sister An behind him. She was one with the sword and also turned into a majestic sword light, blocking him.

The collision of the two sword lights of the man and the sword was an absolute contest of hard power, which did not allow for any skill at all.

An Zhisu was no match for the sword light that was one level stronger than his own. His body was thrown into the air, swaying like fragile catkins in the wind.

Chen Guanshui was so frightened that he no longer cared about disguise. He quickly flew over on his sword and caught her body.

At this moment, he suddenly realized:

The projection of the senior sister in the mirror, although covered in sword wounds and bleeding, the weapon that caused the wounds was held in her hand - this showed that she had already thought of abandoning the world, and she was the one who continued to hurt herself!

It was precisely because of this that An Zhisu blocked the sword for herself just now. After all, she no longer cared about her own life or death.

Thinking of this, Chen Guanshui felt both distressed and guilty.

It was really hard for him to let go of Senior Sister An who was so devoted to him...but what else could he do if he didn't let go?

Even if we talk it out here, we might be able to reconcile by luck. But if she discovers the existence of Junior Sister Xu and others later, won't there be another bloodbath!

It's better to say goodbye to avoid secondary harm...

Chen Guanshui was lost in thought and suddenly alarm bells rang in his heart. He quickly pushed An Zhisu out of his arms.

He felt a slight pain in his heart. It was because when An Zhisu was held in his arms, she suddenly took out a dagger from her arms and stabbed him in the chest.

Fortunately, the sword only penetrated a few inches into the flesh and did not hit the heart, so his life was not in danger. I don't know if it was because Senior Sister An couldn't bear it and held back, or because I was quick to react and pushed it away in advance.

"What are you doing!" The slight pain aroused his ferocity, and Chen Guanshui's eyes turned cold as he shouted.

"You still don't admit it?" An Zhisu gritted her teeth, but tears flowed from her eyes. She had already recognized his identity. "Junior Brother Ling, I will call you Junior Brother again."

"You betrayed the sect and stole the sect's treasures. Your crimes are extremely heinous. I will kill you first, and then commit suicide to thank Master and the sect. In the afterlife, we can be brother and sister again."

Chen Guanshui's injuries were not serious, but after hearing her speak these sincere words, he was so angry that he almost vomited blood:

If you betray the sect, shouldn't you arrest me first? If you steal a treasure, shouldn't you ask where it is first? Why would you kill someone right away?

Sister, you can kill me, why do you want to commit suicide? Do you want me to die without peace?

In the afterlife, it's fine if we are reincarnated separately. No one owes anyone anything. What's the point of being a brother and sister? Childhood sweethearts are better than real siblings!

Although there are so many points to complain about, Chen Guanshui doesn't want to complain at all, he just wants to vomit blood.

Looking at the phantom of An Zhisu, he also had a sad face and tears, but his tone was extremely happy, and he seemed extremely crazy:

"That's right, that's right! My dear junior brother, since you can no longer be my junior brother in this life, I might as well chop you off with a knife and then cut my own neck with another knife. In the next life, we will be reborn into the same belly, and you won't be able to get rid of me, your sister, anymore."

Chen Guanshui finally couldn't help it and complained:

"So you want to be my real sister!"

"Shut up!" An Zhisu was so angry that he scolded the phantom, "Nonsense! How could I have such a weird idea!"

Chen Guanshui: ...

So do you want to commit suicide for love?

Seeing that An Zhisu was stubborn and refused to admit it, the projection burst into tears again, crying and laughing:

"Sisters and brothers from the same sect may still betray each other; we can't forcibly sever the blood relationship between siblings, right? But since we are connected by blood, we can't do shameful things, which is a pity. But if we can stay together forever, even if we can't love each other, what does it matter..."

Seeing that its words were getting more and more outrageous, An Zhisu was almost mad with anger, so he simply turned the Feiyan and Hanlie swords around and attacked the talkative phantom with all his strength.

Chen Guanshui was shocked when he saw this, knowing that his senior sister was overwhelmed and her swordsmanship was blinded. In addition, her cultivation level was weaker, so she was definitely no match for the phantom. He quickly used his Taoist magic to attack from the side.

The two of them attacked An Zhisu's phantom from the left and right, and indeed, they killed the phantom so hard that it could not resist and could only laugh with tears in its eyes:

"Very good, very good! Even in this brief moment, I can fight side by side with my junior brother. Even if we have to fight with swords again next, it is worth it!"

An Zhisu was so ashamed and angry that he suddenly turned his sword and attacked Chen Guanshui.

Chen Guanshui thought to himself, you are too shameless. Just to prove that what the phantom said was not what you thought, you turn around and kill me, right?

So stupid!

Fortunately, the two men had already distanced themselves this time, and Chen Guanshui was well prepared. He certainly would not give An Zhisu the opportunity to suppress him with his sword skills. He simply summoned the Panlong Xiaojin Ball and directly absorbed the two swords.

An Zhisu used the Taoist magic on his sword to attack, and Chen Guanshui immediately flew backwards on his sword, hiding in the corridor he came from.

Slide away!

He returned the same way he came. An Zhisu naturally would not let him go easily. He chased him out of the Jinghu Temple and rushed out of the cave through the passage on the lake. But there was no trace of Chen Guanshui.

Even this passage on the lake was calmly arranged by Chen Guanshui, leaving it for her to escape - it can be seen that he was already fully confident.

After quickly getting rid of An Zhisu, Chen Guanshui did not dare to stay in southern Xinjiang any longer. He flew quickly on his sword to the northeast to bypass Shushan's main force.

After leaving the jungles of southern Xinjiang, we entered the mountainous areas of western Hunan. Although this place is no longer affected by miasma, it is still full of poisonous insects and poisonous tongues, and the environment is complex and harsh.

If you go north from here, you will enter the territory of Jingzhou, and further north is the hinterland of Tiannan, which is Xu Yinglian's hometown. Considering that Sister Xu might go back to her parents' home, Chen Guanshui did not plan to go north.

To the east is Yangzhou, which is the sphere of influence of Penglai Yuqing Temple. There are many famous mountains and rivers, as well as a large number of Taoist sects, many of which are customers of Tiangongfang. Considering that Shi Liuli might go there to discuss business, Chen Guanshui did not plan to go east.

In that case, the only way is to go south.

Going south through the humid jungle is the South China Sea.

There are many differences between the South China Sea and the East China Sea. Most of the islands in the East China Sea have Taoist sects stationed on them, which are known as the 72 Cave Heavens of the East China Sea.

There are a large number of uninhabited islands in the South China Sea. The fire spiritual energy on the islands is too strong and the climate is hot and humid, which is not conducive to monks practicing Taoism. However, it is a good choice if one wants to temporarily avoid the limelight.

Thinking of this, Chen Guanshui suddenly remembered the Jinao Island again.

Jin'ao Island is an ancient Buddhist residence that has been hidden from the world. There is only one demon cultivator who has converted to Buddhism, as well as a large number of back halls that trap demons. Its location is also extremely secretive.

If they wanted to hide in the Jin'ao Island, I'm sure they wouldn't be able to find anyone except Jiang Li'an who went there with them.

But in terms of cultivation strength, Witch Jiang is the strongest among them. Although the demon cultivator is at an equally high level, it is still unknown whether he can subdue him and transform into the Great Freedom Demon.

If he could not be subdued, Chen Guanshui would be secretly killed by Jiang Li who found Jin'ao Island. Even if he survived by chance, his end would be miserable.

But if she is subdued... I can't just sit there and watch my wife being sealed!

It seems that we can’t go to Jin’ao Island, lest we get into trouble. Otherwise, how about we go to the island where the old man in black suppressed his inner demons?

After much thought, Chen Guanshui gradually began to have a desolate feeling that "the world is so big, but there is no place for me to stay".

Just as he was worrying, he suddenly saw what seemed to be a Tujia village behind the hill in front of him.

The many houses in this village gave people a sense of déjà vu... After thinking for a long time, Chen Guanshui finally remembered:

That was when the elixir had not yet been formed in Shushan. Senior Sister An and I were invited by Sima Changyan to come here to explore the secret realm of the giant tree and search for the purple mansion elixir.

As a result, he met Su Jian's former senior brother, the Crazy Sword Immortal Daoye Zhenren in the secret realm... Of course, none of that is important. The key is that the world in the Giant Tree Secret Realm is extremely huge, and it is extremely suitable for him to hide.

Even if An Zhisu chased here, without anyone to guide him, he might not be able to find himself there!
