At noon, four young men wearing white robes from the Yunzhong Sword were walking together in the Zhenwu Mountains surrounding the deserted villa.

"How far have we traveled?" Yu Youci asked his companions.

Lu Chengshi did some mental calculation: "It's about five miles away from the villa."

"Weird, is Bu Shechuan tricking us?" Yun Jingchen jumped onto a tall stone standing in front of two people, raised his hands to build a pergola in front of his forehead and looked into the distance, and said to his companions: "You can already see

Here’s the outline of the trial tower used in the sect’s grand competition.”

Baili Xuan was delighted when she heard this: "Really?"

"Of course, if you don't believe me, come up and see for yourself. At our speed, we'll be there in less than half an hour." Yun Jingchen jumped down from the boulder and clapped his hands, "Isn't this too easy?"

"Teacher Bu said that if the four of us arrived at the tower safely together, even if we pass the test..." Bai Lixuan pondered and said, "But there were no obstacles along the way. What on earth is going on?"

"I know!" Yun Jingchen punched his palm, his eyes shining brightly, "That cunning guy Bu Shechuan must have wanted to wait until the four of us were approaching the tower and let down his guard before he came out and suddenly dealt with us.

Then he can preach to us in a serious manner, something like, 'As a qualified Yunzhongjian, even if the victory of the mission is in sight, you must never let yourself relax' or something like that."

The other three were stunned for a moment, then laughed in unison.

Suddenly there was a "whoosh" sound in the sky, and Yun Jingchen, who was facing his companions, felt something hit him on the back of his neck and felt a sharp pain, and his whole body went limp.

"Jingchen!" Lu Chengshi, with quick eyesight and quick hands, took a step forward and stretched out his hand to support him.

Yu Youci and Bai Lixuan drew their swords in their hands at the same time.

A figure fell from the sky, and the dust raised when it landed obscured everyone's sight, but both Yu Youci and Bai Lixuan had already identified the opponent's landing point in advance and drew their swords in advance.

The two long swords pierced the dust together and stabbed the figure, and then they were released at the same time in an instant.

Yu Youci and Bai Lixuan, who had lost their swords, heard the sound in the air and their eyes caught up with their long swords flying in the air. Then they also saw clearly the figure of Bu Shechuan standing in front of them with hands behind their backs. The two looked at each other quickly.

Each of them saw the expression of unwillingness to admit defeat on the other's face.

The next moment, Yu Youci pulled away to the left, and Bai Lixuan pulled away to the right. Both of them planned that at least one of them could successfully retrieve the sword.

"Stop!" Bu Shechuan shouted sternly, "I'm here to tell you that today's assessment is temporarily cancelled."

"Wha, what..."

All four of them looked surprised and confused.

"Something happened at the villa. Several Yunzhongjian that were originally arranged to be tests and obstacles on your journey have been transferred back for emergency response." Bu Shechuan explained simply.

Something happened at the villa? The young people exchanged glances with each other in disbelief. The sect leaders had decided to attack the Dragon Blood Cult. They led the elite Yunzhongjian to leave the villa early this morning and headed for Xingshi Island in Han Lake, where the enemy's lair was. They had just left the villa.

When something goes wrong, it always makes people feel a little strange.

"Teacher Bu, what happened at the villa?" Yu Youci asked nervously.

Bu Shechuan frowned and replied: "A villain broke free from the shackles of the dungeon in the back mountain and escaped. Although I don't know how he did it, the current situation is not optimistic."

"Is it that serious for just a gangster who escaped from prison?" Yun Jingchen asked, rubbing the back of his neck.

"If I told you that the person who escaped was one of the Ten Evils who was captured and imprisoned by the former acting Grand Master Liu Yike, wouldn't you think it's serious?" Bu Shechuan glanced at the four of them with a serious face.

Except for Bai Lixuan, the other three people instantly turned pale after hearing the name of "Ten Evils".

"What's wrong with you...?" Bai Lixuan noticed something was wrong in the atmosphere, and then saw the fearful expressions on her companions' faces, and she suddenly started to tremble inexplicably.

"The Ten Evils." Yu Youci gasped and said, "It is said that between the sixth and eleventh years of Beining, they were ten evil villains with great martial arts skills and heinous crimes who were personally defeated by the former sect leader Liu Yike.

Senior Zhongjian said that each of the Ten Evils has a strength that is close to or even equal to that of the sect masters."

Bai Lixuan's face gradually lost color, and her lips trembled as she said, "You're...liar, right? Are you as strong as the sect masters?"

"I can responsibly tell you that three of them are existences that a single sect leader cannot defeat." Bu Shechuan's voice came again, and his words shocked everyone's heart.

"Mu Tianze was destroyed by heaven and earth, Xiao Ponu was poisoned by thousands of miles, and Feng Jiazheng was destroyed by three souls." Lu Chengshi said word by word, "I have read the crusade files of these three people."

"Fortunately, it was not these three people who escaped from the dungeon, otherwise the great sect master would have had to immediately send people to recall the sect masters who set out to crusade against the Dragon Blood God Sect." Bu Shechuan finally said something that was barely good news at this time.

"Who is that?" Yu Youci and others asked in unison.

Bu Shechuan looked in the direction of the villa and slowly uttered a name.

"Bloodthirsty, Qiu Wanding."

…

On the morning of the twenty-sixth day of the twelfth lunar month in the seventeenth year of Beining, two young travelers came to the small town at the southern foot of Yunling Mountain in Lizhou.

"Mr. Yu, is this the Ejin town you mentioned?" Xuan Yue asked with a smile.

"Yes, this is Ejin. Tongfengmen is not far away. Let's have a bowl of hot soup in the town and return to the teacher's gate just in time for lunch." Yu Shiqi dismounted at the entrance of the town, holding his and Xuan Yue's hands at the same time.

Two horses walk forward.

Xuan Yue sat on the saddle and looked at his back leading the horse for her, and said hesitantly: "I think I'll be in town at noon. How about finding an inn..."

Yu Shiqi stopped and looked back at her: "Is it because you are a little tired from the journey? Sorry, sorry, I didn't notice. Maybe I'm too happy that we are almost at the master's gate, so let's..."

"Hey, no." Xuan Yue couldn't help but dumbfounded when she saw him looking guilty to her. She said slightly shyly on the horse: "It's because I have traveled so many days and I want to take a good bath..."

Yu Shiqi was stunned for a moment and suddenly realized.

"Just find an inn, take a shower and cleanse yourself before leaving the town and going up the mountain." Xuan Yue lowered her head and twisted her fingers around the hair around her ears, her eyes shyly moving left and right.

Naturally, this requirement must be met. Yu Shiqi happily agreed, led the horse and continued walking towards the town. He remembered that there was an inn not far ahead.

At the crossroads, Yu Shiqi stopped temporarily to let the old man driving the bullock cart pass first. After the bullock cart passed by, he suddenly saw three young people walking across the street, and the three people were almost at the same time.

Time saw Yu Shiqi.

Looking at each other, the three young people across the street all opened their eyes wide. Someone reacted first, waved his hand and shouted in this direction: "Senior Brother Yu?"

Yu Shiqi smiled and nodded to them. These three were all disciples of the Tongfeng Sect, and he recognized them.

"Brother!" The young man in white among them ran across the street, came to Yu Shiqi, and hugged him.

"Qian Yao, I'm back." Yu Shiqi said, patting the young man's back.

Yu Qianyao, the youngest son of Yu Lingwei, the leader of Tongfeng Sect, reluctantly let go of Yu Shiqi's hand and cried with joy: "It's great! Mom was still talking about it last night, wondering if eldest brother will come back this year. By the way, eldest brother, I Junior Brother Qian and Junior Brother Mo were ordered to go down the mountain to buy some New Year’s goods. You come with us...eh? This girl is..."

Only then did Yu Qianyao realize that a very beautiful girl was sitting on the saddle of the white horse held behind Yu Qiyi. Junior Brother Qian and Junior Brother Mo who came with him were also stunned, and the three of them were secretly surprised in their hearts.

Xuan Yue also got off the horse, walked to Yu Shiqi, held his shoulders and said to the three people in a daze: "My name is Xuan Yue, and I am a good friend of your senior brother Yu."

Friends? The three young people looked at each other, and then they all suddenly understood, and smiled meaningfully with their lips pursed.

"Brother, come here." Yu Qianyao pulled Yu Shiqi aside and whispered something in his ear.

"Headmaster Mu of Jinghu Xuannv Sect is visiting our Tongfeng Sect?" Yu Shiqi blinked and asked in confusion: "But what does this have to do with you asking me to be careful when I go up the mountain? I have no grievances against them. ah."

"Harm...brother, let me tell you the truth, Master Mu came to Tongfeng Sect this time to choose a son-in-law for her favorite disciple." Yu Qianyao frowned eagerly.

"Congratulations then." Yu Shiqi smiled, "Xuan Nu is a pretty good fairy, right? Are you satisfied with me?"

"I'm only sixteen." Yu Qianyao looked shocked and shouted in a low voice: "Brother! Do you understand what I'm talking about? If you go back, there's no guarantee that you won't be noticed by the head of Xuannv. When the time comes, It's like being roasted on a fire in the middle, be careful Miss Xuan Yue gets into trouble with you!"

"Don't worry, that's not the case." Yu Shiqi smiled nonchalantly and comforted: "I am the disciple of Xuannv, and you are the eldest son of the head of the Tongfeng Sect. This is called a perfect match. If he were two years older than you, It doesn't matter……"
