The room was silent for a moment, and everyone looked at each other in bewilderment: "This..."

Ye Xiyue frowned slightly, and her voice became colder: "What's the difficulty?"

At this time, seven or eight people rushed in, bringing with them a handsome young man. One of them had his right arm broken. He knelt on the ground and saluted with his only remaining left hand:

"I am the next generation guard, Fang Zhi, meeting Fairy Ye!"

Ye Xiyue looked at him, then at the handsome man being escorted: "What does this mean?"

Fang Zhi said, "Fairy Ye, this man is called Luo Wenzhi, and he is an accomplice of the criminals who killed the town guard. I wanted to catch the criminals, but was blocked by Luo Wenzhi."

"The Chang family was appointed by Zhenyang Sect to guard the city, but they were exterminated. This matter concerns the reputation of our Zhenyang Sect. I dare not be careless, so I will capture Luo Wenzhi and ask Fairy Ye to deal with him!"

Luo Wenzhi shouted, "Fang Zhi, you are talking nonsense! Chang Shengzi practiced evil skills and killed innocent women. Killing this evil demon is the way to justice!"

"Fairy Ye, my wife was killed by Chang Shengzi, and countless women in Xingluo Town also died at his hands. You have to make the decision for us, wuwuwu!"

Luo Wenzhi said a few words and then couldn't help crying.

"What he said is true."

At this time, a beautiful and slightly immature female cultivator walked into the room. She was wearing the white robe of an outer disciple of the Zhenyang Sect and bowed to Ye Xiyue in a proper manner:

"Greetings, Senior Sister."

"Junior Sister Fang, you are indeed in Xingluo Town."

Ye Xiyue's expression finally changed slightly, and it was unclear whether she was happy or angry. She just said lightly:

"Were you involved in this?"

Fang Xue maintained her salute posture and said loudly:

"My dear senior sister, that night... my third senior sister and I were stranded in Xingluo Town. We were both seriously injured and were captured by the Chang family and thrown into a dungeon. We were nearly devoured by the earthworm that Chang Shengzi transformed into. If it weren't for Uncle Qin and Sister Qiu saving us, my third senior sister and I would have died a long time ago."

"Uncle Qin and Sister Qiu are helping the people get rid of harm, they are not murderers."

Fang Zhi hurriedly said, "Fairy Ye, this Fairy Fang was probably bewitched by those murderers, so she spoke for them. The Chang family has guarded Xingluo Town for many years to ensure peace, but they were wiped out overnight. If they can't catch the murderer, I'm afraid they won't be able to convince the public!"

"and……"

Fang Zhi glanced at Fang Xue next to him and said loudly:

"On the night when the Chang family was exterminated, someone saw Fairy Fang and her senior sister enter Qin Gengyun's room together. This incident not only involves the extermination of the Chang family, but may also involve the reputation of Fairy Zhenyang Sect. Please ask Fairy Ye..."

Before he could say anything, a sword energy broke through the air and pierced his throat.

"Kacha..." Fang Zhi looked at Ye Xiyue with her bare hands raised in disbelief, and then fell to the ground and died.

This sudden change stunned everyone, and the street guards kowtowed one after another:

"Fairy Ye, please spare my life! Fairy Ye, please spare my life!"

"Big sister?" Fang Xue stared at Ye Xiyue blankly: "Why did you kill someone?"

Ye Xiyue said calmly: "Zhenyang Sect governs three cities and twelve towns, as well as a large area of ​​mountains and rivers in Dongxiu. All of its disciples are outstanding people. How can they be slandered at will?"

Fang Xue said blankly: "Senior Sister, he didn't slander me. My third sister and I were seriously injured that day, so we had to bathe with Uncle Qin..."

"alright!"

Ye Xiyue interrupted her and said coldly: "All of you go down, no one will know what happened today."

“Yes, yes!”

Everyone kowtowed repeatedly. Luo Wenzhi wanted to speak, but he heard Ye Xiyue say to him:

"You will temporarily take over the post of garrison commander, and your actions must be in accordance with the orders of Zhenyang Sect."

Luo Wen was startled, not knowing why he suddenly became the guardian, and said quickly:

"Thank you, Fairy Ye."

Then he tactfully left, leaving only Ye Xiyue and Fang Xue in the room.

"How did Qin Gengyun and his wife destroy the Chang family?"

"Big Sister, why did you send Big Sister Three to Uncle Zheng to be insulted that night?"

The two sisters asked each other at the same time.

Ye Xiyue looked at her coldly. Fang Xue was kneeling on the ground, but her body was straight, staring at Ye Xiyue intently.

He looks stubborn and doesn't know whether to live or die.

"Si Minglan, where are you?"

Ye Xiyue asked again.

Fang Xue shouted, "Senior Sister, you haven't answered my question yet!"

Ye Xiyue frowned: "Junior Sister Fang, practicing is not easy."

Fang Xue continued loudly: "Big Sister, it is not easy to practice, and it is even harder to understand the mind. I have doubts in my heart. If I can't understand them, it will be difficult to practice. Please help me solve my doubts."

After saying this, he bent down with his forehead touching the ground. Although his posture was humble, his stubbornness was even greater.

Ye Xiyue's expression was cold, and the sword energy in her fingers seemed to be there and not there. After a long time, the sword energy disappeared, and she finally spoke:

"After the battle at Tianlu Mountain, my master died, and I was seriously injured and my cultivation level dropped drastically. The three peaks are surrounding me and coveting me. If I don't make sacrifices, how can I protect Xiyue Peak?"

Fang Xue raised her head, her eyes clear: "So it was you, Senior Sister, that Master Zheng wanted that night, but you sent Third Senior Sister out to replace you?"

Ye Xiyue was silent for a moment, then said calmly: "Yes."

Fang Xue lowered her head: "Sacrifice one person to save the entire Xiyue Peak, sacrifice a few people to save tens of thousands of people, I understand, thank you for clearing up my doubts, Senior Sister... but I cannot agree with it."

Ye Xiyue ignored her disagreement and said coldly: "It's your turn to answer my question."

Fang Xue recounted everything that happened that day.

Ye Xiyue asked questions from time to time, and almost all of them were about Qiu Zhihe.

After Fang Xue finished speaking, Ye Xiyue frowned and murmured:

"Isn't it her? No, there must be some way to hide her aura and appearance."

"Senior Sister, what did you say?" Fang Xue was puzzled.

Ye Xiyue suddenly attacked, and a sword energy hit Fang Xue's body. She opened her eyes wide and fell down softly.

The next moment, Ye Xiyue appeared in front of her and said to Fang Xue, whose cultivation was completely sealed:

"Junior sister, since you want to understand your mind, I will take you to see Qin Gengyun's wife. Once you see her, your mind will naturally understand."

…

Cloud-patterned mountain.

The mountains are lush and the scenery is picturesque.

A woman wearing a plain white robe, with a slim figure and long legs, stood in front of a large group of wooden houses on the top of the mountain.

The woman's black hair was tied into a neat ponytail. Her facial features were not delicate, but she had a heroic air.

Even if the Cloud Pattern Tribe had not been destroyed, when she stood together with the female warriors of the Cloud Pattern Tribe, her heroic spirit would be no less.

However, all the people on this mountain died two days ago.

Even though the corpses all over the field had been dealt with, the smell of blood still wafted from time to time in the mountain breeze.

"So many people died..."

Mo Xiaolan stood in front of the largest wooden house in the middle, looked at the shocking bloodstains on the door, closed her eyes, and seemed to see the tragic scene at that time.

Two lines of tears involuntarily flowed from the corners of her eyes.

In fact, Mo Xiaolan herself didn’t know why she had such a special feeling for this mountain.

As for why she entered the Northern Wilderness and came to Yunwen Mountain.

It's actually simple - it comes from a mysterious call and the longing for someone in my heart.
