Although Xing Nan obeys Xie Tian, his master is always Qiu Yimeng, and he has handled many secret matters for Qiu Yimeng.

What Rong Ruyu said really reminded him of Qiu Yimeng's chronic illness.

Xing Nan said expressionlessly, "I want her mustard seed bag."

"I'll talk about this after my interrogation."

Seeing that Xing Nan was held steady, Rong Ruyu stepped on the road, and the young man followed closely behind her.

"stop!"

Her cultivation is much higher than that of Qing Ying, as long as she is willing to hunt down, she will see Qing Ying's figure in just a few moments.

The little girl didn't dare to stop, and rushed forward, but unfortunately, she only took two steps, and there was a "clang" in front of her——

Rong Ruyu's saber Tingyu was deeply inserted into the soil in front of her feet, if she took another step forward, she would be pierced by this sharp sword.

Qing Ying almost stopped in her tracks.

"I have something to ask you." Rong Ruyu said coldly.

Hearing the indifferent voice behind her, the anger and grievance in Qing Ying's heart could not be restrained.

This is the man who betrayed her trust!It caused her and her senior brother to fall into such a situation.

Seeing that there was no room for escape, she gave Rong Ruyu a cold look, then her eyes wandered around.

——She was looking for anything nearby that would be convenient for her to kill herself, such as a giant log that she could crash into.

She is not afraid of death, only the pain and humiliation of torture.

The wariness and contempt on the young girl's face hurt Rong Ruyu deeply, and made her feel even more ashamed.

Her tone softened involuntarily: "Didn't you say that there is something hidden about Xie Qingci? Now I will give you a chance to defend yourself."

The obvious change in her tone made Qing Ying a little suspicious, and Xing Nan next to her also took an extra look at her.

Rong Ruyu urged: "Quickly tell me, what exactly did you do with Xie Qingci?"

"Ask knowingly?" Qing Ying looked at her sarcastically, "Senior brother's sword bone was taken away, he couldn't see, and his cultivation base declined significantly—are you blind? Do you think this situation is the peerless devil that the headmaster said??”

The sword bone was taken?!

Can't see?!

Cultivation decline?!

Every word was like thunder striking Rong Ruyu's body, making her ears buzzing.

how come?how is this possible!

Such a powerful Senior Brother Qingci, cold and lofty... When he met him just now, his behavior was the same as usual except that his eyes were covered with white gauze.

Even Xing Nan who was silent behind him couldn't help frowning.

Xie Qingci is a genius in the sky, and his powerful cultivation is obvious to all. How could such an amazingly talented person be reduced to this point?!

Rong Ruyu murmured: "Why, are you joking?!"

Rong Ruyu's dazed performance aroused Qing Ying.

She tricked them into such a situation, and now she's acting like this hypocritically?Do you think you are really stupid?

Thinking that Xie Qingci was implicated to death because of her own stupid trust, Qing Ying felt so wronged and sad that she wanted to shed tears.

Brother, I still don't know what torture I'm suffering from!

"Think about the brother you know for yourself. Is he the kind of person who harms others and benefits himself? He would rather destroy his inner alchemy and die on the spot, and it is absolutely impossible for him to lose control and kill his fellow disciples and innocent people."

As Qing Ying spoke, the mist covered her eyes. She desperately opened her eyes wide, refusing to blink, never letting herself shed tears in front of the enemy.

But the choked sobs in her voice already showed the little girl's sadness and anger.

"Or do you think that a mere nightmare beast can make the senior go mad?"

Her questioning and hatred hit her face like a torrential rain.

"Can't you think about the weirdness of those few days?"

"Senior brother has always been steady and rigorous, why did he make a breakthrough?"

"The slaying team that went with us can definitely resist the monks in the tribulation period. Why is it that they suddenly have no strength to fight back?"

"The most important thing is... If senior brother really goes mad, he will be invincible."

Qing Ying stared at her with red eye circles: "You are still alive now

Standing in front of me, so hypocritical?"

A few words can't describe the pain that Xie Qingci suffered.

Qing Ying has never thought of killing anyone.

But at this moment, her heart hurts so much, anger, guilt, pain and humiliation are entangled together, the pain is so painful that blood is almost oozing from her throat.

How far are these people going to drive them before they are willing to give up!

Rong Ruyu's voice trembled faintly: "What do you mean... who is murdering senior brother?"

But the mortal girl is not evasive or afraid, and speaks the truth frankly.

"It's your most respected and beloved head! Dear Elder Qiu, and their precious son!"

Qing Ying gritted her teeth and said: "Senior brother's sword bone, spiritual root, was cut out by Xie Wuyan that beast... the wolf-hearted thing, and then gave it to his precious son."

There were tears in the girl's eyes, but she seemed to be able to spew out fire.

"This is the truth, do you believe it? Do you dare to believe it?"

The pain of the girl in front of her was so intense and real, Rong Ruyu almost instinctively wanted to take a step back.

If what she said is true... no, what Qing Ying said is very likely to be true...

"enough."

Xing Nan is more ruthless and sensitive than her: "It is enough to ask these questions, take her back to the sect, and escort her to Elder Yu Qiu for disposal."

What he meant was obvious. Qing Ying's words involved a huge conspiracy, which was beyond the control of the two inner disciples.If you keep asking, you won't be able to get away easily.

But his check has eaten.

"Why, the head of the sect and all the masters...they didn't see the clue?"

Rong Ruyu looked at Xing Nan and murmured.

"The sword bone has been taken away, and the cultivation base has declined, shouldn't it be obvious?"

Elder Feng Si was furious and said: "You beast, what are you looking at?! Still looking down on this old man!"

Just now Xie Qingci received his furious blow, her complexion seemed to turn pale.

But Elder Feng Si didn't think too much about it, he just felt that Xie Qingci's obsession caused her cultivation to be complicated, which was a good opportunity for revenge.

Xie Qingci turned her face away, no longer paying attention to the direction in which the girl left.

"You don't dare to resign."

"Don't dare, why don't you dare? Come again!" Elder Feng Si said in a hoarse voice with red eyes, "No one is allowed to interfere, this old man will kill this thief with his own hands today!"

On the ground, Xie Tian walked to Xie Wuyan's side.

"Father, the Immortal Execution Formation has been set up. You can seal Sin Xiu into Wuchen."

This is what they planned in advance.

In order to prevent Xie Qingci from going crazy before the battle, they need to deploy enough manpower in the Zhuxian formation, but they cannot let Xie Qingci communicate with the outside world.Therefore, the head of the sect will personally urge Wuchen to seal Xie Qingci with him.In the end, the head will kill Xie Qingci completely in the dust.

But for some reason, when it came to the critical moment, the head of the sect didn't make a move.

Xie Wuyan nodded slightly, his eyes were still fixed on Xie Qingci in the sky: "In your opinion, how is Xie Qingci's current cultivation?"

"Father mean...?"

"His cultivation is useless, even if he returns to the Bie Yue Pavilion by luck, he will never recover to this level." Xie Wuyan frowned, "And Feng Si is so impulsive, even if he hates him, he still has the opportunity to defend himself.Why didn't he speak?"

Xie Tian said coldly: "Perhaps the heart is arrogant and unwilling to beg for mercy."

"No, I understand him, Qing Ci is definitely not such a pedantic person who doesn't know how to adapt."

The old man made a mocking voice: "That is really a good father."

Xie Tian reminded: "Late makes changes."

Xie Wuyan calmed down.

Too.

Xie Qingci's sword bones and spiritual roots are all on Tian'er, he is the reincarnation of an immortal, and he can never be equal to him now.

Xie Qingci blocked Feng Si's blow again in the air, but he seemed to be on the verge of falling.

Not only the other elders in charge, but even Feng Si, who was dazzled by anger, was a little puzzled.

Even if Xie Qingci is in the period of crossing the catastrophe when he is insane, it is still a catastrophe, it is absolutely impossible to go through two or three moves with him and be powerless.

Seeing this, the head didn't hesitate anymore.

"Feng Si back down!" Xie Wuyan said loudly, "The Fallen Cultivator has been polluted by the Nightmare Qi, the most cunning and evil, leave it to me to deal with."

Feng Si was naturally unwilling, but a black light flashed, and both Xie Wuyan and Xie Qingci were swallowed by "Wuchen".

"Xie Wuyan!" Feng Si was furious, but there was nothing he could do.

Wuchen independently opened up a secret realm, and if he didn't have the determination to destroy it, he couldn't open it by force.As for what happened inside, the outside world has no way of knowing.To be able to perceive that it is still there, the inspiration is already extremely keen.

"Feng Si, calm down." The acquaintance of the elder comforted him, "The head of the sect has been through years of calamity, and he will definitely help you slay your enemies."

...

Inside Wuchen is a world constructed in black and white. The huge gossip pattern rotates on the soles of the two people's feet to maintain the operation of this secret place.

In this uninhabited secret realm, the two sides finally don't have to pretend.

Xie Wuyan raised his eyebrows and said, "Why didn't you tell everyone the truth?"

Looking at his former adopted son who was in a state of embarrassment and whose eyes were covered with white gauze, he had no compassion in his heart, and only wanted to end the trouble as soon as possible and end the future troubles.

And this question was just a joke made by the other party before he died.

He would never give Xie Qingci a chance to argue.

He guessed that Xie Qingci might treat him with hatred, or resent and reprimand him, but he never expected——

Xie Qingci "looked" at him, and the corners of his lips curled up slightly, revealing a familiar but completely different indifferent smile.

He spoke with an unexpectedly gentle voice: "If I don't keep quiet, how can I come to this secret place with you?"

Xie Wuyan:?

Xie Qingci said calmly: "Everyone who has nothing to do with them has retreated, and now we can talk about our affairs."

Xie Wuyan was very indifferent: "The matter has come to this, what is the need for nonsense? Thinking of the past father and son's relationship, if you cooperate now, I will give you a quick death when I refine you."

Xie Qingci said indifferently: "You are thinking so hard here, you want to make me into a puppet."

"So what?" There was no one around, Xie Wuyan was finally able to show his ambition without hesitation.

He did not practice orthodox practice to become a cultivator in the tribulation period. His wife, Qiu Yimeng's mother clan, played a vital role in him, and they have been holding him tightly for a hundred years.

How can he be reconciled to a dignified monk who has crossed the catastrophe?!

And if Xie Qingci can be successfully refined by him...

He proudly said: "You will be the first puppet in the past ten thousand years, and your name will be passed down through the ages along with the prestige of this deity!"

The puppet art is an ancient secret art, which has been lost for a long time. Looking at the Three Realms, only a genius like him can restore it.After swallowing his anger for hundreds of years, he was finally able to show his grand plans!

"Refining a puppet requires digging out the soul, and it will definitely trigger thunder and punishment. Are you prepared?"

Xie Wuyan was taken aback: "Thunder penalty?"

It has been a long time since the immortals of the Three Realms have fallen, and the way of heaven is chaotic and impermanent. Where is the theory of thunder and punishment?

"It's okay," Xie Qingci smiled at him with a good temper, "I'm prepared."

He whispered to himself: "But the speed should be faster. Otherwise, before the thunder punishment comes, the time to draw the soul will be too late."

"What are you raving about?"

Saying so, Xie Wuyan's vigilance has been raised to the extreme.

This is the intuition of survival given to him by countless combat experiences. In recent years, he has degenerated for a long time under the pampered life, but at this moment, every inch of his body, every inch of flesh and blood, and every strand of spiritual consciousness are screaming and fleeing.

The cold and gentle sword cultivator in front of him seems to be his useless adopted son, but...

The sword cultivator nodded politely: "The business between you and me is over, you can step forward and lead to death."

Xie Wuyan was so scorned, he laughed back in anger: "Zhuzi, not to know the immensity of Heaven and Earth!"

Xie Qingci was unmoved.

"Please hurry up, someone is still waiting for me."

He couldn't see clearly, but he smiled apologetically as if he saw the girl.

"I'm in a hurry."

Qing Ying glared at Rong Ruyu angrily: "How do I know? You are a group of wolf-hearted people from the Ancient Sword Sect. The people who came today are probably Xie Wuyan's accomplices."

Rong Ruyu showed a stabbed expression, and wanted to argue, but couldn't speak.

Her voice lowered: "You have nothing to prove...I need key evidence."

"Key evidence?" Qing Ying stared at her vigilantly, "What do you mean? With the evidence, can you still help us get out?"

Rong Ruyu remained silent.

Qing Ci senior brother.

He is indifferent and alienated from his family. The closest relationship should be her, the junior sister who grew up together. Although the two of them are not related by blood and their interaction is as light as water, in her heart, she has always admired Xie Qingci like an older brother.

But she didn't believe him... not even as good as this mortal girl who appeared halfway...

Rong Ruyu couldn't help making up her mind, if everything was true, she would definitely atone for her stupidity.

Today she desperately wanted to let Qing Ying go, then she turned around and fought to the death side by side with Senior Brother Qingci!

"You say so."

After making up her mind, Rong Ruyu finally stopped shyly avoiding Qing Ying's gaze, and was able to look at her calmly.

Evidence that can prove that senior brother was wronged...

"The medicines I asked you for are all strengthening the foundation and strengthening the vitality, and the medicines for nourishing qi and blood are all for senior brothers. This is one of them."

"These." Qing Ying opened the Tianshu Token, and reluctantly flipped through the pictures that she couldn't bear to look at, "It's the picture of senior brother healing."

Tianshuling has the function of taking pictures, she has long been prepared to clear Xie Qingci of the charges, so there are plenty of video materials.

Flipping through each portrait, the corners of Rong Ruyu's eyes couldn't help twitching, she felt her whole body trembling slightly.

If these portraits were to circulate, each one would be enough to cause a devastating blow to the reputation of the ancient Sword Sect.

The sword bones of the whole body were dissected.

Both eyes were gouged out.

The whole body is paralyzed, almost like mud.

Such a proud, cold senior brother...

Qing Ying paid attention to the change of Rong Ruyu's expression, and a small expectation sprouted in her heart.

"Now do you believe it?"

"Don't look at it."

Xing Nan never took a step close to them, but at this moment, he no longer stood by, the Hidden Sword quietly appeared in his hands at some point.

He stepped forward in a few instants, intending to kill Qing Ying, who had a low cultivation base.

The blades collided and made a piercing sound.

Rong Ruyu blocked his attack and said angrily, "What are you going to do!"

Xing Nan calmly said: "Take down the criminal and hand it over to the door."

Rong Ruyu immediately denied it: "No."

Xing Nan's voice was slightly cold: "Are you going to disobey?"

Rong Ruyu willing to help her?!real or fake?

But after the initial questioning, seeing that Rong Ruyu had already fought against Xing Nan because of her, she suddenly felt a sense of hope.

"Go back to Bieyue Pavilion!" Rong Ruyu said anxiously, "Leave this to me."

The stern boy was held back by her, and he could only watch the little girl leave in a hurry.

Xing Nan said coldly: "You do this, how will you explain when you go back?"

Rong Ruyu said frankly: "You just need to act as if you didn't see it, and don't stop me from acting. I will bear the consequences of this matter even if I die."

The beautiful black-haired girl has firm eyes, revealing an unstoppable determination.

"You should believe me, and you know, you can't stop me."

Rong Ruyu is full of fighting spirit, but she doesn't want to delay the time by fighting with Xing Nan.

After Qing Ying successfully escaped, she needed to go back to help Xie Qingci—at least let those elders who misunderstood Xie Qingci know the truth.

"On the night of Qixi Festival last year, by the lakeside of Wuhun."

She looked at Xing Nan and said in a clear voice, "You promise to repay me for saving my life."

The boy looked at her with dark eyes.

Others always say that Xing Nan has a pair of ominous Rakshasa eyes, and he feels unreasonably terrified when looking at him, so under Qiu Yimeng's order, he always covers his eyes with too long bangs.

But that night, when he was desperately fished out of the cold and dead lake, the girl's eyes were more determined and burning than the bright moon in the sky.

"it is good.

Rong Ruyu looked at him, and finally decided to trust the assassin's integrity.

She warned: "Don't hurt her, you just need to hang around outside for enough time."

After all, she flew back to the original place and decided to help Xie Qingci.

And Xing Nan followed her silently just like when he came here.

Follow along like a shadow.

Surprised, Rong Ruyu didn't care, as long as he didn't go after Qing Ying.

But on the way back, the two suddenly changed, the sky suddenly became dark, and the clouds were thick and thunder was brewing, as if the heavens were wrathful.

"Thunder penalty?"

Rong Ruyu said in astonishment.

The place where the thunder cloud gathers is exactly where everyone from the Guigu sect is.

The Cloud of Thunder Punishment is not the same as the Cloud of Thunder Tribulation. The Thunder Tribulation is a monk who breaks through and is summoned from the normal passage of the Tribulation.

Thunder punishment is produced by heaven's perception of things that harm heaven and justice in the world.

Death due to thunder punishment not only needs to endure the misery and torment of previous lives, but even the soul is not allowed to enter the upper three realms after death, so it has to suffer in the next life.

Rong Ruyu's expression became more serious and embarrassing.The methods of the sect leader and others were so vile and cruel that they even brought thunder and punishment!

She didn't say anything, just silently took out the Tianshu Token, and clicked to save the image.

This is all evidence of the blood and debts of the head.

"Don't go back yet," Xing Nan grabbed the girl's slender wrist, "stay away from here!"

Rong Ruyu knew the seriousness, and after saving the evidence, she flew away with Xing Nan, but before they ran a few steps, the thick and bright thunder, like an electric snake, tore through the sky, pierced through the sky, and struck straight at them!

Under the heavenly thunder that contains the truth of heaven and earth, the guilty will disappear in smoke, and they will never be reborn forever.

Thunder exploded.

Rong Ruyu really felt what it was like to be in the middle of the minefield.

She was almost blinded by the extreme light. After closing her eyes, she could only feel the flying sand and rocks flying around her, and the earth shaking. She couldn't hear anything except thunder and thunder.

After a long time, the thunderstorm subsided.

Except for their small piece of land protected by the spiritual enchantment, everything around them was completely destroyed by the thunder punishment, leaving only a huge pit about five feet deep.

"Cough cough cough."

In a crisis, Xing Nan protected Rong Ruyu under her body. After the storm subsided, she struggled to sit up, trying to climb out of the huge pit, but she touched blood on her hands.

Without saying a word, Rong Ruyu took out the emergency medicine and asked with concern, "Where did you get hurt?"

Xing Nan shook his head slightly, he didn't care about bandaging, guarding Rong Ruyu behind him vigilantly, staring at the pit.

"Something is coming."

thing?

Is it the surviving fellow disciple?

"You're hurt, I'll go and see."

Rong Ruyu flew up lightly, jumped out of the pit, but bumped into the sharp figure of the sword cultivator head-on.

She froze in the distance, unable to speak: "..."

The white gauze on Xie Qingci's face went somewhere, and Rong Ruyu could see his shriveled eyes.His plain robe showed many traces of thunder and fire burns, but he looked fair.

The thunder calamity just now had the power to destroy the world, but it just happened to help Xie Qingci escape from the hands of relatives and friends in the past, and he was even quite relaxed.

Rong Ruyu felt relieved, thinking in her heart that this might be a good return.

Xie Qingci should have sensed her, but she didn't speak, but continued to move forward.

No matter how unbearable she was, she called out to the back of the other party: "Senior brother!"

After the first utterance, the following words became much smoother.

"I already know the truth. I was wrong before, and I will definitely help you clarify your grievances later!"

It was not difficult for the sword cultivator to hear the sincerity of what she said.He nodded slightly to Rong Ruyu, but his brows and eyes were still indifferent.

Senior brother Qingci should dislike her. She has the heart to teach her the Tao.

Rong Ruyu said in shame: "You don't need to look for Qingying elsewhere, she should be safe now - I was the only one responsible for chasing her before, so I let her go back to Bieyue Pavilion first."

At this point, Xie Qingci's expression changed.

The sword cultivator spoke to her for the first time since the reunion: "

thanks."

"This is what I should do."

Xie Qingci said indifferently: "Backup him first, and then go back after it's done."

"Huh? What?"

He couldn't see, his cultivation base was declining, how could he realize that there was another person injured under the deep pit?

Rong Ruyu was taken aback for a moment, and wanted to ask why, but Xie Qingci just mentioned something casually, and then left straight away.

Brother is not the same as before.

But people are fine.

The boulder in her heart finally fell, and she returned to the pit to bandage Xing Nan.

"The thunder robbery should have been brought in by the sect leader and Xie Tian... It doesn't matter if it was brought in, our matter is not difficult to deal with."

She bandaged Xing Nan nimbly, and ordered: "You don't need to say anything after you go back, just leave it to me."

The young man stared at her beautiful profile, and said softly, "I don't need you to protect me."

"The grace of saving my life has been paid off, you don't owe me anything."

"..."

Xing Nan pursed his lips and said nothing.

Xing Nan was seriously injured, and the two had to be delayed for a while, but at this moment, another strong wave of spiritual power exploded.

Its momentum is far inferior to Lei Punishment, but if they are closer to the center of the storm, the intensity will be hard to say.

After the spirit wave fluctuated, the wind brought a sound of surprise and anger in the distance.

"Let's go... the master... gone mad..."

What?!

Rong Ruyu and Xing Nan looked at each other, and they both saw the surprise and astonishment in each other's eyes.

"Brother, what happened..."

Qing Ying lingered in front of the barrier of Bieyue, anxious like ants on a hot pan.

After the sound of two huge explosions in succession, her heart almost completely fell into despair.

She had to think about something.

What if senior brother doesn't come back today?

What if the senior brother never comes back?

The little girl pursed her lips into a stubborn arc.

No matter, she will wait for him here until he comes back.

When she was tired of standing, she sat on the rock, and when she was tired of sitting, she stood up and took two steps. In short, she stuck to her post and stared at the distance.

The sun was getting darker, and the little girl's expression became more and more languid.

Just when she was about to shrink into a limp cabbage, a figure finally appeared at the end of her eyes.

I saw him walking quickly, with a tall and straight figure, and he was the figure in her dream in a trance.

"Brother?"

Qing Ying almost thought that she was too eager and even had an illusion.

And the figure in the distance seemed to have noticed her too.

After the tall and straight posture was slightly stiff, it quickly became weaker, and the steps were heavy and slow, precarious at any time——

Not an illusion!

But brother was injured?Is it serious?

Qing Ying was overjoyed, but worried, she jumped up from the stone, and immediately rushed out of the barrier to meet Xie Qingci.

"Brother! I've been waiting for you for a long time, woo woo woo."

She rushed to Xie Qingci's body and held him firmly.

The afterglow of the setting sun reflected Xie Qingci's face extraordinarily tenderly.

"Well, I'm back."

Qing Ying raised the back of her hand to wipe away her tears. She really wanted to plunge into Xie Qingci's arms, but her senior brother was injured.

"Go, let's go home and talk about it, it's not safe here."

But Xie Qingci did not move.

The sword cultivator exerted a slight force on his hand, gently hugging the defenseless girl into his arms.

The tip of her nose smelled the flame and blood of the sword cultivator.

"You're hurt." She was worried, she wanted to struggle but she was afraid of hurting Xie Qingci, so she couldn't move for a while.

"No problem."

Xie Qingci just hugged her quietly.

A warm, complete brother's hug.

Qing Ying was very nostalgic, but had to remind: "Let's not stay outside, it's not safe."

"They won't come after them."

"Ok?"

Xie Qingci wrote lightly: "Xie Wuyan's methods are vicious, and people and gods are all angry.

, thus attracting thunder robbery, he failed to survive, probably lost his mind."

"what?"

Qing Ying was stunned.

How did it become like this?What happened after the brother broke up?

"Wait, just now—" She still had a lot of questions.

"Qing Ying... crossing the tribulation hurts."

Xie Qingci whispered in her ear muffledly, her breath was warm.

What crossing robbery?

But she couldn't think about it.

Because, in front of her is a senior brother who is full of dependence that she has never felt before.
