Inside a cave outside the Northern Barbarian King's city, Bai Yao was tied to a stone pillar used for sacrifice. Murong Zhi stared blankly at her face, his hands covered in blood, but it wasn't Bai Yao's blood; it was his own.
The white-haired boy not far away looked coldly at Murong Zhi, "Are you really capable? You've been making a fuss for days, and there's still no sign of anything happening."
Murong Zhi said coldly, "Aren't you leaving yet? If you ruin my plans, I'll hold you responsible!"
The white-haired boy lay on the ground with his hands behind his head, looking very relaxed, and slowly said, "It's just the Heavenly Sword Sect. Danzhu can handle it by himself. I'm more interested in the operation in the north."
“I told you, this matter has nothing to do with you. Qiu Xinghen and Lin Yuan will take care of everything.”
"Don't worry, I won't ruin your plans. How about this? I'll kill some people for you."
"Bai Yu! Don't do anything unnecessary!" Murong Zhi turned to look at Bai Yu.
"Is this unnecessary? Aren't they enemies? As long as I don't kill Xiao Yuhan, isn't that enough?" Bai Yu said seriously.
Hearing this, Murong Zhi thought for a moment and seemed to agree. He then said, "If you really can't stand being idle, then get rid of the sect leader of the Snow Frost Blade Sect, and Jiang Yining as well. These two must not live!"
After hearing this, Bai Yu got up and walked out, leaving only the words, "I'll be waiting for your good news."
Murong Zhi smiled slightly, then walked towards Bai Yao again, and used his blood-covered hands to draw a blood array once more. He looked coldly at Bai Yao with a resolute expression. A moment later, a red light rose and enveloped Bai Yao.
The formation took effect, and Murong Zhi was overjoyed, laughing loudly, "That's it! We'll be seeing each other again soon..."
...
Before the Ghost-Dry Forest in Beiyuan, Xiao Yuhan and Nanmen Yihen were blocked outside and besieged by a group of ghosts.
The original plan was for the two of them, along with Jiang Yining, to come and track down Qiu Xinghen. However, after hearing Xiao Yuhan's words, Jiang Yining learned that Lin Yuan was also there, so she made an excuse to decline and did not come with the two of them to chase after Qiu Xinghen.
Jiang Yining, being from Tianmojian, must know Lin Yuan's true identity. Her departure at this time inevitably raises suspicions of desertion.
Jiang Yining's methods are unfathomable, but Xiao Yuhan can sense that her strength is inferior to Qiu Xinghen's, and even more so to that white fox named Qianyu. So from this perspective, there is no need for her to take the risk with Xiao Yuhan.
But it was she who initially proposed joining forces with Xiao Yuhan to deal with Tianmojian, so Xiao Yuhan couldn't quite understand what this woman's true stance was. She was clearly a traitor to Tianmojian, and even her senior brother had verified that she wasn't lying. So she should have even more reason to fight the people of Tianmojian to the end.
Xiao Yuhan considered that she might be a spy sent by Tianmojian to play a trick, but if that were the case, why didn't she step in at the crucial moment to help the **Alliance? It still seemed a bit unreasonable for her to run away at this time.
But right now, Xiao Yuhan couldn't care less about all that. Now that she and Nanmen Yihen had arrived at the Ghost Dry Forest, they had no choice but to face the enemy. However, with their combined strength, they weren't without a chance of winning.
Nanmen Yihan and his senior brother Liu Jiantang are the same kind of people, and the path they cultivate is equally domineering. Among the cultivators of the same realm, Liu Jiantang is probably the only one who can be his opponent. So it is safe to have such a person traveling with him. At least in terms of killing ability, this swordsman knows how to use a sword better than that Master Lianhua.
Ghost Forest was originally a mass grave in the Northern Plains. It was once a place with extremely heavy Yin energy, so it was the best choice for Qiu Xinghen to make it his lair. Xiao Yuhan followed the mark he left on Qiu Xinghen all the way here, but as soon as he arrived, he could no longer sense Qiu Xinghen's whereabouts.
Nanmen Yihen frowned and asked, "Are you sure this is the place?"
"The location is definitely right, but the energy stops here."
Nanmen thought about it with regret, "That's easy!" He said, holding his sword in front of him and beginning to gather his strength.
Upon seeing this, Xiao Yuhan asked, "What are you going to do?"
"Of course, we'll clear the way!" Nanmen Yihen said with a smile, then swung his sword, causing a large swath of bamboo to fall to the ground. The wandering vengeful spirits and ghosts were affected, and the flying sword energy even sliced off half a mountain in the distance. Seeing this, Xiao Yuhan frowned, "You're just alerting the enemy!"
Nanmen Yihan looked at Xiao Yuhan and said seriously, "Stop talking nonsense. Since Qiu Xinghen is a master of the Ghost Path, we can't hide our arrival from him. So we might as well make a big fuss. If he comes to fight, that would be best. If he escapes, we'll find out easily."
Suddenly, a large group of vengeful spirits attacked from not far away. Nanmen Yihen smiled slightly, "Look! Aren't they here?"
Xiao Yuhan frowned. "If that's really the case, Sect Master Nanmen is truly unconventional... From the information I have, Qiu Xinghen is skilled in the Ghost Path and has three powerful vengeful spirits with the strength of the Dao Integration Realm by his side. One is Yang Zui, one is my former master, and the other has already been defeated by me. Does Sect Master Nanmen have confidence?"
"Do you think I'm as cowardly as Jiang Yining? Do you have confidence? We're going to fight this battle!" As soon as he finished speaking, Nanmen Yihen charged out with a sword. Relying on his combat instincts, he headed straight for Qiu Xinghen's hiding place.
Having suffered a loss at Xiao Yuhan's hands before, Qiu Xinghen was already very careful. Even with helpers this time, he planned to hide and use the vengeful spirits to deplete their spiritual power. However, he did not expect Nanmen Yihen to be so perceptive, directly finding his hiding place and attacking aggressively.
Qiu Xinghen quickly appeared and launched a sneak attack on Nanmen Yihen, summoning two vengeful spirits. "How did you find me?"
