The long street of Wanling Town was full of murderous atmosphere.
Lin Qingyang and Cang Mo were surrounded by layers of sword light. They were back to back, and above their heads was the hypocritical face of Jiuchen.
Cang Mo glanced sideways at Lin Qingyang's slightly pale face, lowered his voice, and said with unquestionable cruelty in his tone, "I'll stop them, you go first."
"Are you kidding me?" Lin Qingyang gritted his teeth and cursed, "We have a blood contract. If you die, I can't live. We have to leave together!"
Cang Mo frowned, his eyes became more and more anxious, a pair of wolf eyes stared at Jiuchen in mid-air, veins popped up on the back of the hand that was holding Howling Moon Saber. The black Demonic Qi that was tumbling around him suddenly swung away in all directions.
The non-cultivated people on the outside were affected by this wave of Demonic Qi, and they immediately covered their chests in pain and wailed and retreated. The Divine Sword Mountain disciples surrounding the inner circle also changed their expressions and tried their best to mobilize Spiritual Power to resist.
Jian Hong Seeing this, he raised his sword horizontally and shouted sternly, "Form up!"
"Hey, hey, hey! What are you doing!"
Just at this tense moment, Su Jingui suddenly shouted at the top of his lungs, and saw him squeeze into the crowd, waving his hands at Jian Hong, "Everyone, please talk to each other carefully. Don't just resort to using knives. It will hurt your kindness!"
"Sect Master Su, get out of the way!" Jian Hong had a sullen face, unmoved.
Su Jingui ignored him, but boldly took two steps towards Lin Qingyang, and said earnestly, "Immortal Lord Lin, I think there is some misunderstanding about this matter, why don't we all sit down and have a cup of tea to talk about it..."
Jiuchen, who was in the air, had a hint of impatient coldness in his eyes. He was obviously not interested in watching the show. The golden light in Nine Heavens Sword's hand suddenly appeared, and he was ready to take action directly. Cang Mo's eyes flashed, and he raised his knife to meet him.
At this critical moment, Lin Qingyang's figure suddenly turned into a gust of wind.
Everyone's eyes were dazzled as Su Jingui, who had been leaning in front just now, had been pulled over by Lin Qingyang. Windflower Sword's cold sword edge was placed on the fleshy neck of the Myriad Spirits Sect leader.
Lin Qingyang looked around with fierce eyes. "Don't move!"
"Dad!" Su Ruohuan outside the crowd said loudly.
Everyone present was stunned. No one expected that the dignified former head of the Nine Skies Sect would actually take hostages in public.
"Lin Qingyang! You are simply crazy!" Jian Hong was so angry that his beard trembled, "You actually held Sect Leader Su hostage for a monster!"
Su Jingui, who was being held hostage, swallowed, froze in cooperation, and said in a trembling voice, "Sword, Sect Leader Jian Hong, how about... you get out of the way first?"
The surrounding Divine Sword Mountain disciples looked at each other, no one dared to act rashly. Yun Zhan frowned and looked at Jian Hong questioningly.
Lin Qingyang raised his eyes, looked into Jiuchen's unruffled eyes coldly, and said mockingly, "Since he is a god, he must be very compassionate, so he wouldn't just watch me kill him, right?"
Jiuchen looked at him condescendingly, without saying a word, but his eyes became colder.
"Jiuchen God, don't be impulsive, don't be impulsive!" Su Jingui quickly shouted to the sky, then moved his lips slightly and muttered quickly in a voice that only Lin Qingyang could hear, "Ten miles east of the city, there is a teleportation array in the cliff pavilion."
Seeing that everyone was still in a stalemate, Su Ruohuan rushed forward anxiously and pushed away the Divine Sword Mountain disciple who was blocking the front. "Get out of the way quickly! Do you want to watch my father die?"
As he spoke, he tried hard to pull Yun Zhan who was blocking the front. Yun Zhan lowered his eyes and glanced at her. He didn't say anything, but neatly sheathed his sword and took a step away. When the other disciples saw this, they could only put down their swords unwillingly and make way for them.
Lin Qingyang dragged Su Jingui back step by step. Feng Yi was so anxious that he wanted to get close to him, but was grabbed by Feng Shu behind him and dragged him into the chaotic crowd.
Cang Mo held the knife and guarded Lin Qingyang's side. As soon as the two of them exited the encirclement of the sword formation, Cang Mo grabbed Lin Qingyang's waist and picked up Su Jingui's back collar with the other hand. The whole person instantly turned into a black afterimage and rushed out of the city.
"Chase!" Jian Hong shouted angrily and chased after him with Divine Sword Mountain's disciple Yu Jian.
Jiuchen stopped in mid-air, staring coldly at the direction in which they disappeared, with a strange arc at the corner of his mouth.
Outside Wanling Town, the mountain wind howled.
Cang Mo led the two of them running wildly, and finally landed in a stone pavilion on the cliff in the east of the city. In the center of the pavilion was a somewhat old teleportation array.
As soon as he landed, Lin Qingyang felt that the suppressed blood in his body surged up again, and he frowned and covered his chest.
"Are you okay?" Cang Mo immediately supported him, his eyes full of worry.
Lin Qingyang shook his head and took a deep breath to suppress the discomfort.
Su Jingui, who had followed him all the way, sat slumped on the stone steps next to the teleportation array without any image, breathing heavily, and the fat all over his body was trembling.
"Thank you, Sect Master Su, for your help." Lin Qingyang took a breath and said seriously.
Su Jingui waved his hand with a grimace. "Immortal Lord Lin You're welcome. You just saved the little girl's life in the mine. I should help you with this. It's just..."
He hesitated for a moment, then looked up at Lin Qingyang: "Is that person just now Jiuchen the Divine Lord?"
Lin Qingyang furrowed his brows, his expression terrifyingly solemn. "Yes, and no."
Su Jingui was confused after hearing this. Just when he was about to ask more questions, Cang Mo's face suddenly darkened.
"Dang!"
Howling Moon Saber swung out violently, splitting the hidden weapon that silently attacked Su Jingui into two pieces.
Su Jingui was startled, and when he looked closely, what fell to the ground was an ice pick that exuded cold air.
"Xue Lanyuan!" Lin Qingyang felt a chill in his heart and immediately looked around.
The surrounding temperature suddenly dropped to freezing point. A layer of pale frost spread on the ground at a speed visible to the naked eye, covering the entire teleportation array in the blink of an eye. The Array rune, which was originally shimmering, was instantly frozen by the thick ice.
In the sky, heavy snow fell without warning.
"What... what's going on?" Su Jingui was shivering from the cold.
The wind and snow quickly gathered outside the pavilion, and a familiar figure slowly emerged. Xue Lanyuan was hanging in the air with his bare feet, and his silver hair was flying in the wind and snow.
"Xue Lanyuan! Where did you just run?" Lin Qingyang subconsciously wanted to step forward.
But Xue Lanyuan raised his hand expressionlessly, and several sharp ice picks shot straight towards their faces like arrows.
Cang Mo dragged Lin Qingyang behind him, and his whole body Demonic Qi surged, shattering all the incoming ice picks.
Lin Qingyang looked carefully through the wind and snow, and his heart suddenly sank. Xue Lanyuan's originally empty blue eyes were shining with a strange red light at this moment.
This look is all too familiar to him. It was like this when he won Soul-Seizing Technique from Ten Thousand Demons Forest and Xue Lanyuan five years ago!
At this moment, a low chuckle came from mid-air.
A thick black air seeped out from the wind and snow, slowly gathered, and finally transformed into the shape of Jiuchen.
He was floating in the air, looked at Xue Lanyuan below, and said with a hint of helplessness in his tone, "It's so naughty, he always runs out when I'm not paying attention. But fortunately, he still knows how to come back."
