This kind of handkerchief is not a simple decoration, but is coated with special medicine juice, which can play a certain role in isolating the risk of special harmful smells invading your body.

Although it seems that immortal cultivators do not need to worry about the harm of diseases.

But things have developed to this point, who knows if this thing is a plague or not? At least the two of them don't think it's a plague.

It's more like a large-scale poisoning than a plague.

Xu Qingyan shook his head, "None of this matters, and Zhao Yuanji is not a good guy..."

Before he finished speaking, Xu Qingyan saw a brilliant fire suddenly burning not far away, which seemed to rise into the sky and turn into a sea of ​​fire.

At this time, Pei Yu looked up and noticed something.

"The moon... turned red."

Her voice was trembling slightly, and it was obvious that such an unusual phenomenon was a sign that something was about to happen.

And...it must not be a small matter.

Xu Qingyan frowned, "No time, let's go."

Pei Yu frowned and did not move immediately. Instead, he asked, "Are you sure?"

When she saw Xu Qingyan's calm and deep eyes looking at her, she frowned and continued, "The current situation is not normal. We all know that this may be a conspiracy that involves a lot of things. It may not be something we can solve at all. The best way is to return to the Eighteen Sword Sect first. If the sky falls, there will be tall people to hold it up. But if he dies now, he is really dead."

This seemed to be the first time Pei Yu had tried to persuade this young man earnestly.

It was as if at this moment her humanity was revealed.

After all, it's not bad intentions, even if she is more concerned about herself.

Xu Qingyan thought for a moment, and whispered, "I have a reason to go."

It's very simple. Some things and some possible secrets are right in front of you. If you don't find out, can you really convince yourself that it's just "it's better to save trouble than to worry about it"?

Are you really sure that the foreshadowing you are giving up now and the opportunity to explore the secrets you missed will not sow the seeds of disaster at this moment, and turn into a boomerang to hit you between the eyebrows in the future?

Xu Qingyan, who had a second chance, could not deny that he really valued his life, but the vague uneasiness was a stronger motivation.

He had to understand what the riddles that so-called priest were talking about.

He had to take this step, regardless of whether it was just or not.

Pei Yu naturally wouldn't understand these things.

She frowned and said, "I don't know why you must do this, but you should know that I should be the one leading this mission. I have the power to command all actions. I don't agree to interfere in this matter anymore."

Xu Qingyan just looked at the other person indifferently.

"If Master Pei wants to go back, then I will go back. I will go and see, I may die, or I may not. Master Pei will report this after I go back."

Pei Yu's pupils shrank slightly, as if she had some emotion that she couldn't help expressing, but she still didn't show it.

She just frowned and said, "Don't you want to think about how to explain to your master, the sect master, and your senior sister? Xu Qingyan, don't think that you can really solve everything just because you have handled a few things and guessed some things. Some flaws are deliberately shown to you. The cards are on the table and they are not afraid of you to go!"

Xu Qingyan just smiled.

"Thank you for your concern, Master Pei."

After saying this, he walked towards the sea of ​​fire ahead.

There seems to be no reason to explain further.

Pei Yu stood there and quietly looked at the young man's back, gritting her teeth as she watched.

But he didn't take that step.

The other party did not follow me, and I did not turn back.

Xu Qingyan was not disappointed with all this. How should I put it? It was expected. After all, he knew very well how Pei Yu cherished his life, and this was his own decision. She had no reason to follow him.

This is indeed Pei Yu's most rational approach at the moment.

How to say it.

Once you learn to lower your expectations, you will be less likely to feel disappointed.

Sadly, it seems to have taken me a lifetime to understand this truth.

When he reached the bright fire, he saw everything clearly.

The blazing flames showed no sign of spreading, and seemed to be concentrated in this area.

But he clearly felt that there was something dangerous brewing in this sea of ​​fire.

Then he drew out his long sword, raised it above his head, and swung it down.

"boom!!"

It seemed like a very ordinary action, even crude and a bit like chopping wood, and it was not at all elegant.

But the moment the sword energy was ejected, the long rainbow seemed to penetrate the dark clouds in the sky, and the weeds and debris on the ground shattered and turned into ashes.

The sea of ​​fire before my eyes actually split into two!

It was like a sword splitting a mountain or a sea.

The flames were flying, but one figure remained unscathed.

The upper body was almost devoid of clothing, and some of the burnt fabric seemed to be still clinging to the skin.

He slowly raised his head, his hair had turned red.

Hu Chen looked at the red moon in the sky and muttered to himself.

"The ritual is almost complete."

"ceremony?"

Xu Qingyan asked in a deep voice.

It seemed like it took Hu Chen a long time to focus his gaze on Xu Qingyan's face.

"You dare to come here without knowing anything... Should I admire your courage or laugh at your recklessness and ignorance?"

Xu Qingyan smiled, "Smart people are often easily fooled by their own cleverness, and those who accomplish great things are not necessarily reckless. You deliberately concealed your incompetence at Furong Inn, and have been deceiving Zhao Yuanji all these years to let him go against the will of heaven, in fact, for the so-called emperor's luck. I am very surprised... It is obviously just a prince of Zhao Tang country, is it worth you and your people to spend so much thought on him, and even at the cost of the innocent people in the entire south of the city to be buried with him... Is he so important?"

Hu Chen twisted his head.

The muscles of the entire upper body seemed to have been tempered in a sea of ​​fire, strong and shiny.

"He was the one who had a chance to seize the world. You should understand what I mean. Of course... now he has no chance. In a sense, we have changed history. Changing history, seizing destiny, and completing the ritual... this is my mission."

Xu Qingyan pondered the information in the other party's words.

"You just told me that simply?"

Hu Chen smiled disdainfully.

"It doesn't matter. Since you're here, you have no chance to leave. And even if there is a one in ten thousand chance, it's no big deal. This is something that can't be hidden from anyone..."

"So... what exactly is this ritual that you call a ritual that sacrifices the lives of so many innocent people, even interfering with everything in the mortal world, and even angering the heavens?"

Xu Qingyan asked.

Hu Chen shook his head, "You don't understand anything, there's no point in telling me."

Xu Qingyan looked at the other party with amusement, "I actually admire people like you, the kind who act like they are the chosen ones, the only sober ones, and everyone else is just an actor playing a play with you. Without a strong sense of conviction, you really can't do such shameless things."

Being verbally humiliated by this young, pretty boy.

Hu Chen didn't seem to have too many emotional fluctuations.

He just looked at the red moon in the sky and said.

"Stop talking nonsense. The arrival of the ceremony requires peace and tranquility. Since you are here, you can only clear it up. Don't blame me."

Xu Qingyan smiled and said, "You are not very good at pretending. I suggest you read more books and learn more in your next life."

Hu Chen frowned. He found that he couldn't really understand what the other person said. It was strange. But what was even stranger was that whenever he said it, he would inexplicably feel a surge of anger...

Yes, there is no time to delay.

Hu Chen thought of this.

He took a step forward, and every step seemed to make the earth tremble. Xu Qingyan was not afraid. If he wanted to, he could do it.

I have seen too many such bluffing tactics in my past life. The fancy tricks are useless. The only time they are useful is when the weapons come into direct contact.

Just that moment...

"boom!"

After taking a few steps, Hu Chen suddenly increased his speed, so fast that even his afterimage could not be seen.

Xu Qingyan tilted his head slightly, and the fist almost flew past the side of his cheek, the strong air wave almost scratched his cheek and it hurt.

I hold the sword, while the opponent only has his fists, so close combat is Hu Chen's advantage, and it can make it difficult for the young man to release many of his sword moves smoothly.

Xu Qingyan turned slightly, and without raising his sword, he punched the opponent's abdomen with his left fist.

But when Xu Qingyan watched his fist about to touch the opponent's abdomen, it didn't hit anything, and Hu Chen's figure even became blurred in an instant.

The next moment Xu Qingyan felt something.

He turned around quickly and swung his sword at the same time, sweeping fiercely at the figure that appeared behind him at that moment with a sharp sword energy.

At the same time, Hu Chen was throwing punches.

"boom!!"

The punch did not hit the boy's face, but hit Xu Qingyan's shoulder hard.

However, Xu Qingyan also clearly saw that his sword had cut a deep wound into the opponent's abdomen, so deep that the bone could be seen.

Blood is flowing.

I felt the pain in my shoulder at that moment, and the strength was so strong that it was a bit scary.

The boy took two steps back.

Hu Chen lowered his head slightly and looked at his belly.

He saw the deep wound and didn't seem to have any extra reaction, he just raised his hand.

"it's useless."

In an instant, the wound healed at a speed visible to the naked eye!

Even for a moment, it looked like a brand new look that had never been hurt.

His healing ability surpasses all other immortal cultivators below the level of transcending tribulation.

Is this also the gift that the ritual brings to him?

Xu Qingyan frowned, and Hu Chen said calmly, "It's no use knowing these things now. You have no way out."

“Then I can only move forward.”

After Xu Qingyan finished speaking, he raised his sword upwards and brought it down fiercely.

"boom!!"

The dazzling sword light slashed directly at Hu Chen, falling from the sky like a divine punishment.

Xu Qingyan clearly saw the other person's figure before it became blurred, and his entire left arm was cut off by him.

When he subconsciously turned around to face Hu Chen who had already arrived behind him.

He raised his brand new left arm.

"boom!!"

A punch hit his chest.

This time, Xu Qingyan retreated a full five steps.

His internal organs seemed to be churning, his blood and qi were running wildly, and the punch almost made the young man bleed out.

Hu Chen smiled and looked at the young man.

"Do you still want to persist? Don't worry, every sword you stab into my body... means the life of everyone in this city."

Xu Qingyan's eyebrows narrowed slightly.

"Are you using the lives of these people to nourish yourself?"

Hu Chen looked at Xu Qingyan with a little surprise, "What else? What do you think this plague is? This is Gu... This is our witch doctor's mission. The purpose is for this moment, young man..."
