Nonsense! Master is not my wife.

Another head rolled down.

"Sword light?"

The black-robed man standing at the edge of the dense forest narrowed his eyes upon seeing this. He didn't even notice any trace of the opponent's first attack. It was not until the second attack that he finally saw the opponent's moves clearly. This was a sword cultivator, and his strength was far superior to his!

The man in black robe understood that this place was obviously the retreat of the mysterious swordsman, and that by intruding here, they had obviously offended the other party.

"Damn it, even in such a remote deserted island, he could run into a top-level swordsman. How lucky is Zhan Qing?"

The man in black robe groaned inwardly, but even though he felt extremely uncomfortable, he did not dare to have the slightest thought of escaping, because there was already a sword force locking onto him in the dark, and the man in black robe had no doubt that as long as he showed the slightest sign of wanting to escape, thousands of sword energies would fly towards him the next moment and kill him instantly.

The man in black robe pretended to be calm and saluted in the direction of the lake, saying respectfully: "I don't know which senior is living in seclusion here. I am Wang Liu of Chaoxin Sect. I am sorry for offending you before. I hope you can forgive me!"

"..."

The black-robed man who called himself Wang Liu frowned slightly under his hood, but the sword force was still firmly locked on him, with no sign of slacking.

"This sword cultivator is so cautious, could he be a cultivator from a demon sect?"

Thinking of this, Wang Liu became confused.

Just now, this mysterious swordsman killed his two subordinates with just a wave of his hand, and his first move was a fatal blow. Such a ruthless and cruel person is obviously not the style of a righteous cultivator, but more like a cultivator of the evil sect!

Wang Liu secretly accumulated strength while observing his surroundings, guarding against sneak attacks from the mysterious swordsman.

call……

At this moment, a barely perceptible breeze blew past him. Wang Liu's mind was shaken, and he instantly sensed the approaching murderous intent:

"on the left!"

He turned sideways and swung his fist, and the demonic energy that had been accumulating for a long time lingered around his fist, and he smashed it hard in the direction of the wind.

At the critical moment of life and death, Wang Liu no longer cared about hiding his identity as a demon and directly burst out with all his strength!

boom! ! !

The surrounding air was blasted, making a sharp roaring sound.

But what made Wang Liu despair was that his attack, which was almost an all-out attack, actually missed!

He was fooled. The breeze blowing from the left was just a decoy. The real attack came from the right, which was behind him!

Feeling the howling wind coming from behind him, Wang Liu smiled bitterly.

"puff--"

A huge sword transformed from spiritual energy pierced through his chest.

Wang Liu spat out a few mouthfuls of blood, looked down at the tip of the sword that pierced his chest, then held on to his last breath and turned his head with difficulty to look back.

A slender young woman with a sword on her back appeared not far behind him and was looking at him calmly.

"you you……"

Wang Liu's lips trembled, but he could not utter a few words.

The moment the spiritual sword pierced through his chest, all the vitality in his body was strangled by the sword energy in an instant, and even self-destruction was a luxury.

Bang!

The spiritual sword exploded violently, and the gushing sword energy caused Wang Liu's entire body to break into pieces, and then turned into ashes in just a few moments.

The young woman looked away calmly, and said calmly, "Come out."

Zhan Qing, who was holding her breath and trying her best to hide her figure, heard this and realized that the other party had seen through her hiding place. She decisively dispersed her magic and revealed her figure.

"Zhan Qing thanks you for saving my life."

Zhan Qing clasped his fists and saluted with a respectful look.

Even though she was frightened by the other party's decisive and fierce style just now, Zhan Qing knew that she had to take the initiative to show up, otherwise what would greet her would not be words, but sword energy.

Just as Zhan Qing was racking his brains and trying to think of something to say, a slightly puzzled voice came from his ear:

"Are you the former young master of the Zhanlang Hidden Clan, Zhan Qing?"

Zhan Qing looked up at the young woman with a look of surprise in his eyes: "It is you, the junior."

Hearing the young woman's words, Zhan Qing's originally nervous mood slowly relaxed a little. As long as this senior didn't draw his sword upon meeting him like he did just now, he still had hope of survival.

But after getting Zhan Qing's confirmation, the young woman frowned slightly, and a sword force slowly emerged from her body, pressing towards Zhan Qing:

"The last young master of the Zhanlang Hidden Clan, Zhan Qing, was killed by a demon more than 20 years ago. Who are you?"

Sensing the murderous intent gradually rising from the other party, Zhan Qing hurriedly explained: "Senior! I am indeed Zhan Qing, and I am definitely not an imposter!"

As she spoke, she took out a token of the young master of the Zhanlang Hidden Clan and at the same time activated the spiritual energy in her body. The sky blue water spiritual energy condensed into a ball and floated in her hand.

The young woman raised her hand and took the young master's token from Zhan Qing's hand. After observing it for a moment, she was sure that it was the token of the Zhan Lang Hidden Clan, and she sensed a connection with Zhan Qing from this token.

At the same time, the fluctuations of spiritual energy on Zhan Qing's body are also very similar to the family mentality of the Zhan Lang hidden clan.

The sword that was pressing towards her slowly stopped: "Tell me what the circumstances of your death were, and why you were chased by them and fled here."

Zhan Qing secretly breathed a sigh of relief, as this senior obviously believed in his identity.

She did not dare to neglect it and started to explain, "More than 20 years ago, I fell into the trap of An Bingzhen of the Guiming Hidden Clan and was led to Xieyue Island by her. I was almost killed by a suddenly mad Half Moon Giant Shark. Fortunately, Daoist Fellow Yin You from Xuelingxu came to my aid, and I was able to save my life."

When she heard the word "Yin You", the young woman's eyes flickered slightly, as if she was moved, but she did not speak to interrupt Zhan Qing.

"After parting with fellow Daoist Yin You, I took a boat to leave Xieyue Island, but I met An Bingzhen on the way. She led the demons to kill all the monks on the boat. I was also besieged by the demons and blasted to the bottom of the sea, but somehow I managed to survive."

Zhan Qing did not notice the young woman's unusual reaction and continued to talk about her experience: "But when I recovered from my illness and wanted to return to the family to report An Bingzhen, I heard the news of my own death in a city."

"This is An Bing's real conspiracy! She deliberately let go of several cultivators who were unaware of the inside story, and lied to the outside world that the younger generation was killed by a sneak attack from a demon!"

Chapter 249 Reaching an Agreement

"You've never tried to return to the Zhanlang Hidden Clan?"

Zhan Qing smiled bitterly upon hearing this: "I have also thought about going back, but it is easier said than done."

"Forget about returning to the Zhanlang Hidden Clan. Even if I want to go to a city, I will be targeted by demons. The only way to survive is to escape to the vast sea."

The young woman said, "So that's why you were chased to this deserted island by those three demons?"

Zhan Qing hummed, "I was originally in disguise, intending to go to Crescent Moon Island thousands of miles away to gather intelligence, but I never expected that the demon would discover my identity and chase me all the way here."

At this point, she sighed and said, "I have experienced this several times over the years. These monsters are scattered all over the Star-Moon Sea. Once I show my tracks, they will send troops to hunt me down."

"There are so many monsters hiding in the Star-Moon Sea?" The young woman's eyes narrowed slightly.

The traces of the demons are distributed all over the Star-Moon Sea, which shows how large their numbers are. It is impossible for such a large number of demons to hide from the sight of the Thirteen Hidden Clans, but the Thirteen Hidden Clans did not react at all?

Zhan Qing heard the deep meaning in her words, a trace of bitterness flashed in his eyes, and he expressed his guess: "So I suspect that the Thirteen Hidden Clan has long been in collusion with... the demons, otherwise it would be impossible for the demons to be distributed all over the Star-Moon Sea on such a large scale, and the Thirteen Hidden Clan has no reaction to this."

"It's possible."

The young woman nodded slightly. She already believed in Zhan Qing's identity, and some of the information he said was similar to what she had obtained from previous investigations.

Noticing that the sword energy from the young woman was slowly dissipating, Zhan Qing secretly breathed a sigh of relief. She understood that this senior temporarily believed in her identity.

"How much do you know about Xue Qingyou, the current Sword Hunter of the Sword Hunter Hidden Clan?"

the young woman suddenly asked.

Hearing this, Zhan Qing frowned slightly and did not answer her question immediately.

The young woman was very sensitive. Seeing Zhan Qing's reaction, she knew it was obviously related to Xue Qingyou.

Thinking about what the other party had just said about his experience with Yin You, the young woman quickly made a decision.

"My name is Qin Muyun, and I'm from Xuelingxu." As she spoke, a light flashed in her hand, and a token appeared.

This senior is actually a cultivator from Xuelingxu?

Zhan Qing was stunned when she heard this. After she sensed the special aura of the token in the young woman's hand, she was finally convinced that this senior was indeed a cultivator from Xuelingxu.

Could it be that this senior Xue Lingxu came to Xingyue Sea to save my cousin?

Zhan Qing thought about it and soon came up with a guess.

To be cautious, Zhan Qing asked, "May I ask what is the relationship between Senior Qin and Xue Qingyou?"

Qin Muyun said calmly, "She and I both come from Xuelingxu Wenjian Peak, and my master and her master are from the same school."

Wenjian Peak is one of the twenty-four peaks in Xuelingxu. All the cultivators on the peak practice swordsmanship, and Xue Qingyou was born in Wenjian Peak.

After hearing this, Zhan Qing finally let down her guard against Qin Muyun. She no longer hesitated and immediately said:

"To be honest, Senior, in terms of blood relationship, Xue Qingyou is my cousin."

As she spoke, she told him some things about Xuelingxu that she had learned from Xue Qingyou. Of course, she did not tell him that Xue Qingyou had asked her to look for Yin You.

In addition to these, she also told Qin Muyun the information she had secretly gathered over the years about the Thirteen Hidden Clans and Xue Qingyou.

"…I suspect that many high-ranking members of the Thirteen Hidden Clans have secretly been colluding with demons, and my cousin is likely to have been controlled by these people."

Qin Muyun listened to her silently, and after thinking for a long time, he asked, "Does the Sword Hunter Hidden Clan have any method to control the soul?"

Zhan Qing shook his head slightly: "The Sword Hunting Hidden Clan specializes in the Way of the Sword, and does not have these control methods. Moreover, even the Soul Devouring Hidden Clan, who has the deepest understanding of the Way of the Soul among the thirteen Hidden Clans, should not be able to control my cousin."

She had sparred with Xue Qingyou before and knew that her cousin possessed a pure sword heart that was rare in the world. Her sword intent was extremely pure and most of the soul control methods would not be effective on her.

Zhan Qing paused for a moment and then expressed his guess: "After years of investigation, I suspect that the Sword Hunter Ancestral Sword is most likely at work."

"Sword Hunter Ancestral Sword?"

Qin Muyun's eyes flashed with divine light: "Is it the ancestral sword that has been passed down by the first generation of the Sword Hunter Clan?"

Zhan Qing nodded: "The Sword Hunter Ancestral Sword has long surpassed the ninth level and reached the supreme realm. It has always been dormant deep in the ancestral temple. It will only reveal its power when a genius monk with extremely high sword talent appears in the Sword Hunter Hidden Clan."

"In addition to having a talent for swordsmanship that overwhelms the current generation, the position of Sword Hunter of the Sword Hunter Hidden Clan also requires an even more important condition, which is to gain the recognition of the Sword Hunter's ancestral sword and refine it."

At this point, Zhan Qing said calmly, "I have thought about it over the years and feel that my cousin's current appearance is most likely due to the influence of the Sword Hunter Ancestral Sword."

Over the years, Xue Qingyou's figure has appeared on the battlefield many times. It is said that she always holds the Sword of the Sword Hunter in her hand and never leaves it.

Qin Muyun seemed to be thinking: "Is it the sword spirit? Or..."

She had already implicitly believed Zhan Qing's words. No matter what secrets the Sword of the Hunting Ancestor Sword held, it was very likely that it was secretly controlling Xue Qingyou.

Qin Muyun's eyes showed a thoughtful look. After thinking for a long time, she asked, "Daoyou Zhan Qing, do you know where the Sword Hunter Hidden Clan is stationed?"

After hearing this, Zhan Qing instantly understood Qin Muyun's plan, but she did not answer Qin Muyun's question, but advised:

"Senior Qin, the Thirteen Hidden Clans are hiding deep in the Star-Moon Sea. Not only are they heavily guarded, but there is also a large formation connecting the various bases of the Thirteen Hidden Clans, allowing the Hidden Clan monks to reinforce at any time."

"Although you are very powerful, it is still extremely dangerous to force your way into the Thirteen Hidden Clans."

What she meant was that she wanted to persuade Qin Muyun not to take this life-threatening idea.

But Qin Muyun shook his head slightly: "Do you know that the Cang Lei Holy Sect is holding a Northern Territory Conference recently and inviting monks from major sects and dynasties in the Northern Territory to attend?"

Zhan Qing nodded. Although she had been hiding in Xingyue Sea for many years, she had heard about these extremely important events.

In the past few days, the news that the Cang Lei Holy Sect was about to hold a Northern Territory Conference to discuss demons was spreading like wildfire in the Northern Territory, and Zhan Qing naturally heard about it as well.

Ok?

A light bulb suddenly lit up in Zhan Qing's mind, and he suddenly understood what Qin Muyun meant.

She opened her eyes wide and said, "Do you want to take advantage of the Thirteen Hidden Clan's lack of guards to go to the Sword Hunting Hidden Clan to rescue your cousin?"

Qin Muyun said "hmm" and said sincerely: "This is the only chance to rescue Xue Qingyou. Daoist Zhan Qing, please tell me where the Sword Hunter Hidden Clan is stationed."

Zhan Qing gritted his teeth when he heard this: "Then I'll go with you."

Qin Muyun showed a trace of surprise, and then advised: "This journey is dangerous, I'd better go alone."

Zhan Qing shook his head: "I am very familiar with the guard arrangements of the Thirteen Hidden Clan. With me here, it will be much easier for you to enter the Thirteen Hidden Clan, and..."

After a pause, she looked fierce: "I also want to take revenge on An Bingzhen personally!"

Seeing her determined expression, Qin Muyun thought for a moment, and nodded in agreement: "Okay, then we'll go together."
