After breaking off the engagement with Long Aotian

"Recruiting teammates! Recruiting teammates!"

"Go to Fengxi City, and you will get 500 spirit stones if you take this trip. Don't miss it if you pass by."

"The specific matters will be discussed privately."

Someone was ringing a bell at the door, waving a black banner to recruit people, and shouting loudly.

In the past, Shao Yin would definitely be interested and want to join in this fun that is full of tricks.

But now, she just drank her tea and listened to the sounds from all directions.

"Recruiting teammates! Recruiting teammates!"

"Eight hundred spirit stones! If you want to join us, you must pay the full eight hundred spirit stones immediately!"

"Do not miss passing through."

There was actually a competitor. On the other side of the door, another monk set up a stall.

Shao Yin was surprised. Just as she was wondering what these people were doing in Fengxi City, she heard the female cultivator at the same table sneer, "Money-hungry fools!"

It must be said that these disciples from the big sects are really arrogant and they always call others stupid.

Shao Yin's face turned slightly cold. When Fengxi City was in trouble, most of those who went to rescue were independent cultivators, and it was also independent cultivators who fought the monsters to the death in the end!
After the female cultivator finished cursing, she looked at her companions again, a little anxiously: "Let's hurry up, don't let others get ahead of us."

Before coming out, the sect instructed that they must find out the thing that caused City Lord Fengxi to become possessed and destroy it on the spot. If it cannot be destroyed, bring it back to the sect.

Now it seems that there are many sects that have the same plan as them.

As for those independent cultivators, they were not significant and the female cultivators did not take them seriously at all.

A male cultivator at the same table glanced at the table next to him and said sarcastically, "What's the point of us getting anxious?"

Another person said, "Brother Zhou, don't be in a hurry. Just hurry up. If not, we would have arrived long ago."

The two of them sang the same tune, mocking the brother who was leading the team, which made the female cultivator so angry that she simply started drinking tea.

Shao Yin was alone, and although they sat at the same table, her dress and demeanor were not outstanding, so she was not taken seriously by these people.

The group finished their tea and left.

Customers in the teahouse came and went in countless waves, and even the recruiting team changed four or five times.

Shao Yin changes her appearance every day, finds a corner to sit in, and listens to the casual practitioners passing by exchanging news.

"Damn it! I'm late!"

"Tianbao Pavilion was dug up three feet deep, but I didn't even find a single spiritual pill!"

"Who the hell is so fast?"

When Shao Yin heard this, she paused drinking tea and had a slightly strange expression on her face.

Yes.

Fengxi City was hit by a disaster, and the monks were in a hurry to escape. Only a few of them had time to take their belongings with them. The staff of Tianbao Pavilion did not expect to encounter a catastrophic disaster, and they did not make a contingency plan. There was no time to move countless treasures.

With the collapse of Fengxi City, the seven-story Tianbao Pavilion also collapsed, and many elixirs, talismans, magic weapons, etc. were buried underneath.

Other shops in the city were also buried.

I don’t know who was so smart and was the first to take the risk and go back to dig for treasure. He must have found a big treasure.

Shao Yin did not feel sorry, as she was alone and had no need for those possessions. Until she heard another piece of news:
"Guess what I found in the City Lord's Mansion?"

"It's a pile of bones!"

"It's the bones of a dragon fish! Didn't expect that?"

The Lord of Fengxi City has a pet, a dragon fish. In order to raise this dragon fish, he specially ordered people to dig a lake in the city for the dragon fish to move around.

I don't know how many people have envied this dragon fish. It is said that the city lord loves it so much that he is willing to feed it monks.

Of course this is just a rumor, no one has ever seen it.

"How could it be?" someone asked, "I have seen that dragon fish. The city lord went crazy and killed it. The body is on the street, not in the city lord's mansion."

Many people agreed.

Qihai City and Fengxi City are close to each other. Many cultivators here participated in the rescue of Fengxi City that day, and naturally saw the tragic corpse of the dragon fish.

"You don't know?" The person who brought the news snorted, "The dragon fish I'm talking about is not the one you've seen."

"Does the city lord have two more?"

"Could it be that the dragon fish in the lake gave birth?"

After hearing this, the man who brought the news lost his relaxed expression and said in a deep voice, "Not two. At least twenty."

Everyone was surprised: "How can there be so many?"

The dragon fish is not a common spiritual animal. Although there is only a tiny amount of dragon blood in its body, it is very rare to be associated with the ancient mythical beasts.

The Lord of Fengxi City raised a dragon fish. Everyone was just amazed at it, because if the dragon fish grew up, experienced the baptism of heavenly thunder, and turned into a dragon, it would be a great help.

But twenty? Where did he get twenty?
Besides, why are all the twenty dragon fish in the City Lord's Mansion? Aren't they kept in the lake? Although dragon fish have dragon blood, they are still fish, and fish must live in water.

At this moment, everyone felt something was wrong.

"There are 20 dragon fish that look different." The man said, his voice was slightly angry, "Some have dragon fish heads and fish bodies. Some have fish heads and dragon fish bodies."

"They all died of broken bones!" the man said in a deep voice, slamming his fist on the table, "That Fengxi City Lord is worse than a beast!"

Killing the lives of people in the city was his heinous crime. But he was nothing before he committed this crime!
Those dragon fish were not grown naturally, but were the result of his careful study.

Why is he thinking about this? It's not a good thing!
Everyone is a monk, but monks are also human beings, and they are disgusted by such cruelty to living beings.

Amidst the curses, Shao Yin held the teacup, staring out the window, in a daze.

The scene in my mind was that day when I saw the dragon fish by the lake, trying hard to jump to the shore, but hitting the protective shield again and again.

There was a clue that finally connected. "It's calling for help." A clear voice said in my ear.

It was originally thought that the dragon fish, as a spiritual pet, was connected to the mind of the Lord of Fengxi City, and had a premonition of the fate of Fengxi City, so it wanted to escape.

But that’s not right. Everyone who lives in Fengxi City knows that every once in a while, the dragon fish will crash into the shore.

If it is asking for help, it is always asking for help... It doesn't want to be the pet of Fengxi City Lord at all!
It is not the pet of City Lord Fengxi at all!

Knowing that it is the "divine liquid", he still took it. The time of Fengxi City Lord's death is approaching, and he will try any method that can prolong his life and improve his cultivation.

The dragon fish is just a backup plan for him.

Thinking of the miserable death of the dragon fish with its blood sucked out and its skin atrophied, Shao Yin finally understood.

Think about the scene of the entire Fengxi City, with corpses everywhere. The Lord of Fengxi City died too easily!
How could such a person die so easily? Heaven is unfair!
Just a thought came to her mind, and the surrounding spiritual energy began to surge, slowly gathering towards her.

"Pa." A hand gently pressed on her shoulder.

Shao Yin came back to her senses and turned her head to look. Then, surprise appeared in her eyes.

"This is not a good place." The visitor smiled brightly, "Fairy, follow me."

Shao Yin stood up almost immediately and followed this person out.

The two of them went out of the city.

"I will protect you." said the man.

"You're still alive?!" Shao Yin exclaimed in amazement.

The one who interrupted Shao Yin's breakthrough in time was Chen Yue, who was pierced in the chest by the monster and thrown out, crashing into an unknown mountain.

She was not surprised at all that he recognized her again. She had clearly taken a disguise pill, and this was not the first time.

Shao Yin looked at his chest in amazement. The monster's thick and sharp nails had pierced through his chest, cutting off his heart meridians. He should have been dead, so how could he be alive?
"Lucky." Chen Yue smiled slightly, "At the critical moment of life and death, I suddenly had an epiphany, so the thunder descended and pushed me from the Golden Core to the Nascent Soul. The damaged parts of my body were also tempered and repaired by the thunder."

His tone was so casual, just like "I added chili to my lunch today", so natural.

Shao Yin: “…”

We really should let the Golden Immortal hear this.

He always said that she was arrogant, but he had never seen what it was like when a favored child of destiny became arrogant!

That's all child's play for her!
"Congratulations, Brother." She cupped her hands and congratulated him, "You have survived the catastrophe."

Since he did not die and came back to life, the disaster he was pursuing must have passed.

However, after saying this, Chen Yue's expression was no longer happy. Instead, he shook his head and said sadly, "No. Since I am alive, I have failed."

? ?
Is it inevitable that this disaster will fail?
She thought so and asked.

"No." Fortunately, he shook his head, "But most of the people in my sect are failures."

"Over the past thousand years, hundreds of predecessors and peers have failed. The only one who succeeded is the current leader."

"But although he came back alive, he was a different person. He had forgotten most of his past." He shook his head, obviously not thinking that this was a successful escape from death.

Shao Yin was greatly shocked.

"Excuse me, brother, what sect or school do you belong to?" she asked humbly.

She had great respect for this unique sect.

"Tianxing Palace." Chen Yue did not hide the truth, "Fairy may have heard of it, or may not have. Our sect has always been low-key and secluded from the world."

Tianxing Palace is indeed not very famous.

But Shao Yin was slightly startled, remembering that in the plot, when the catastrophe came, there was a sect that led its disciples to relocate.

When the world of cultivation was flooded with blood, this sect hid itself from the world and turned a blind eye to the suffering.

But they are not cold-hearted. On the contrary, the leader has devoted all his life to cultivating himself, glimpsed a glimpse of the truth, and endured the infamy and lived in seclusion with the sect.

In the end, this sect, from top to bottom, was completely destroyed, and all of them died in the battlefield against the "immortals".

"Ah." She lowered her eyes, "Now I've heard it."

If those disciples of Tianxing Palace were like Chen Yue, then when they died, everyone would have given up their own path.

"Fairy, are you going to break through again?" Chen Yue looked at her gently. "Before in the teahouse, I noticed that your breath was unstable, which was a sign of a breakthrough."

Shao Yin just cursed the Heavenly Dao.

It doesn’t mean that the way of heaven is mean, and scolding it will give you an opportunity for a breakthrough.

But she is an outsider, and she has all the experience, insights and insights.

The three thousand worlds have different ways, but they are also the same. What she needs to experience is to get used to this way of heaven.

"No." She shook her head. "I don't feel anything now."

Chen Yue smiled knowingly and nodded: "Then let's find another opportunity. Don't feel sorry."

His voice was gentle, like a spring breeze. Shao Yin's frozen emotions after losing her best friend were revived.

She recalled the sound of the flute he played when fighting monsters, and became extremely curious about the techniques he practiced.

"Where are you going next, brother?" she asked.

Chen Yue turned sideways, looked into the distance, and said with a smile: "The timing is wrong, I came too early. But now that I'm here, it would be a pity not to appreciate it."

As he spoke, he took a step forward. The person who was in front of him the moment before, was gone far away in the blink of an eye.

I didn't see him raise his hand, but I could clearly hear the sound of a flute coming with the wind, like a spring breeze, dispelling the cold and bringing a warm and intoxicating feeling.
