The Evil Sect disciples outside only saw Empress Yin Joo Ok-yeon's cold and pretty face.
She summoned someone and said a few words.
Then, she returned to the carriage.
The person who was summoned turned around and asked them to leave.
"Empress Yin will not return to the Evil Sect today. You all leave on your own."
After everyone heard this,
They looked at each other.
They could see the doubt in each other's eyes.
However, they were still very obedient.
They left more than ten people here to guard the safety of the people in the carriage.
They were also afraid of the evil and terrifying monk in the carriage.
Therefore, they left very quickly.
Joo Ok-yeon could hear the hurried footsteps outside from inside the carriage. She raised her eyebrows.
She looked at the monk hiding in the darkness. She could not see his emotions. She obediently lowered her head and did not dare to continue speaking.
This action made Xie Lige very satisfied.
No matter how many worlds they passed through,
He was still that domineering and willful man.
He said that he wanted to beat his son on the top of the snow mountain.
Then, when he came down, he did not want to hear any objections.
Even Joo Ok-yeon could not.
Fortunately, the child understood his determination and only lowered his head in silence.
On the other side.
The cliffs were steep.
The rocks were rugged.
Kou Zhong looked at his surroundings vigilantly. When he found that there were no signs, he secretly let out a sigh of relief. He turned his head and said to Xu Ziling beside him, "Is that witch still following us?"
They were hiding in the shadows behind a large rock.
Their silhouettes were perfectly hidden inside.
There was no sign.
Xu Ziling frowned and said, "I'm not sure either."
The witch that Kou Zhong mentioned was Wan Wan of Yin Sunflower Sect.
She had been pretending to get close to the two of them. They did not expect that after she was exposed, she would chase after them. Although the two of them had the Art of Longevity, their skills were not enough. They could not catch their breath just by running for their lives.
The anger in Kou Zhong's tone could be imagined.
"But now that we have fled a hundred miles away, that Wan Wan will not let us go."
"I don't care whether she's from Yin Sunflower Sect or not."
"I just didn't expect this woman to be so cunning. She actually knew how to get close to us."
Xu Ziling's mentality was better than Kou Zhong's. In other words, he was more vigilant by nature. When he saw Wan Wan suddenly change sides, not only did he not feel sad or angry, but he also felt like it was finally here.
He was still in the mood to comfort his good friend.
"At least we escaped, didn't we?"
Once they fell into the hands of the Demon Sect, the consequences would be unimaginable.
When Kou Zhong heard this, he thought for a moment. He felt that what Xu Ziling said was very right. Soon, his mood became high. He even urged Xu Ziling to quickly pack up and said, "Let's hurry up and get out of here. Didn't they say that news of Eunuch Yang's Treasure appeared in the capital?"
He turned over and was about to get up.
Suddenly, he was pulled back by gravity from behind. He staggered and almost fell to the ground. He supported himself with his hand and escaped. After Kou Zhong steadied himself, he turned his head to look at Xu Ziling, who was holding him back. Just as he was about to get angry, he was stunned by the latter's solemn expression.
"Someone's here."
Kou Zhong quickly hid. At that moment, he could not be bothered to be angry. He quickly asked, "Who is it?"
He spoke very softly.
However, his answer was soon revealed.
A bewitching bell suddenly rang in the night sky. Ding ling ling ling, ding ling ling ling. When the two people behind the big rock heard it, their hearts tensed up. A beautiful and seductive woman flew out of the darkness. Her snow-white feet were like a dragonfly skimming the surface of the water. Her white and lustrous eyes slowly opened, and she looked around to see if there was anything wrong. In the end, she stopped at the big rock where Doubloons was hiding.
She narrowed her eyes and looked at the shadow behind the big rock.
Her instincts told her that there was someone inside.
She landed lightly on a branch, and her legs landed softly. The moonlight shone on her, making her look ethereal and beautiful. She smiled faintly and easily captured everyone's attention.
"You two seem to like playing hide-and-seek with Wan Wan."
Wan Wan had an innocent smile on her face, but the words that came out of her mouth caused the two hidden dragons to shudder.
Kou Zhong and Xu Ziling looked at each other.
They chose not to go out.
Wan Wan angrily pouted. These two people were usually very slippery. When she first got close to them, she already felt that they were like this. It was not easy to gain their trust, but they still managed to escape in the end.
This time, she definitely would not let them escape.
Wan Wan's eyes flashed with a trace of coldness when she thought of her master's instructions before he left.
She did not want to continue beating around the bush with Doubloons. Since she saw them, she directly opened her mouth to force them out. "If you two don't come out, Wan Wan will make a move."
Wan Wan's quiet voice sounded very aggrieved. It was as if she had no choice but to do what she did.
Kou Zhong and Xu Ziling, who were hiding behind the rock, immediately knew that they had been exposed. It was not that this witch in the sky did not trick them; she was just watching them from the side.
This fact set the proud and arrogant Kou Zhong's heart on fire, so much so that he nearly could not restrain himself from jumping out to vent his anger on her. Fortunately, the other person's brain was better. Xu Ziling pulled the impulsive Kou Zhong back. Under the latter's doubtful gaze, he gently shook his head. "Now is not the time to turn hostile."
The two of them together were not Wan Wan's match.
Kou Zhong became obedient.
Xu Ziling stood up. Warm and gentle like jade, he walked from behind the rock to the open space. He looked up at the bored Wanwan on the tree branch and said, "I wonder what is the honorable matter?"
"Give me the Art of Longevity and I can let you live.
Xu Ziling immediately shook his head. "Impossible."
No matter how stupid he was, he knew that the Art of Longevity was the foundation for both of them. How could he give it to someone else just because of a few words?
Wan Wan had already expected this. She lightly patted the branch below her and flew down from the sky like a celestial concubine. Her light yellow silk ribbon left behind traces of elegance in the air. Her eyes seemed to be filled with tenderness, with a hint of a little girl acting coquettishly.
"Two idiots who only care about brute force."
She directly attacked the big rock with a ribbon with an aggressive inner force. Before Kou Zhong, who was behind the rock, could react, the ribbon was already in front of him. The ribbon, which was usually used as a decoration, finally showed its usefulness in Wan Wan's hands.
Bang!
The big rock shattered with a sound.
Kou Zhong, who was behind the rock, only had time to roll and dodge the attack.
Looking at his distressed appearance, Wan Wan slightly narrowed her limpid eyes and said, "Kou Zhong Shaoxia's movements have always been nimble, yet you were able to escape this calamity. But the next move you'll have to be a bit more careful."
She flipped her hand.
The light yellow ribbon seemed to come alive in her hand. She then used another move, but this time she did not attack Kou Zhong. Instead, she attacked an unknown spot in the forest behind him.
A blood-red inner force pushed back the light yellow ribbon.
Wan Wan looked at that place with a cold expression and said, "Who's there!"
She retreated as she spoke. Her small feet lightly stepped on the branch, and the ribbon floated around her. Her eyes swept straight to the corner that she had just rushed over from.
The moonlight was blocked by the branches, leaving only faint and deep shadows. She could not see what was in the darkness. The shadow moved and slowly walked out, revealing its true face.
It was a handsome and domineering man.
He coldly looked at Wan Wan on the branch as if he was looking at an ant that he could easily crush. His eyes were filled with killing intent. He narrowed his eyes and said, "Didn't your master tell you what it means to respect your master?"
Wan Wan also recognized the man at this moment. Her clever big eyes turned and she cutely said, "So it's the Evil King. I didn't go out to greet you, but I don't know why the Evil King is here."
As she spoke, her jade hands were forming hand seals. Once Shi Zhixuan had the intention to kill her, she would immediately escape.
As soon as she said this, Doubloons who were standing in the open space looked at the man who came out of the forest in shock. They had traveled the Jianghu and of course heard of the Evil King Shi Zhixuan. However, the latter was at least fifty years old and should have a head full of white hair. But they saw with their own eyes that this Shi Zhixuan was clearly a young man.
This was enough to see how deep his inner force was.
"Good." Kou Zhong clicked his tongue and exclaimed, "This is really an old monster."
Xu Ziling did not say anything, but the shock in his eyes revealed his true thoughts.
He was also shocked by Shi Zhixuan's unusual appearance.
When Wan Wan heard Shi Zhixuan's words, she cutely laughed like a silver bell and said, "Of course my master taught me. It's just that I'm still young and don't know the etiquette. I hope the Evil King can forgive me."
Shi Zhixuan looked at Wan Wan who was like a fairy on the branch. It was easy for him to kill her, but he had to consider the consequences. Empress Joo Ok-yeon treated her disciple as her own. If he really killed her, Joo Ok-yeon might do something extreme.
Shi Zhixuan already knew that Joo Ok-yeon went to find his father. He narrowed his eyes and thought about it seriously. Which was more important, venting her anger or his own life?
The result was obvious. Of course, his life was more important. If his father found out that he killed Joo Ok-yeon's disciple, the consequences would be unimaginable.
When he thought about it this way, he chose to ignore Wan Wan's subtle provocation.
He turned his head and looked at Doubloons. A cold and powerful aura pressed down on them like a mountain. Doubloons groaned.
"Hand over the Longevity Codex."
Shi Zhixuan said calmly.
Wan Wan avoided a disaster, but there was no joy on her face. According to her master's letter, if she met Shi Zhixuan and he did not kill her, there was a high chance that Empress Yin had led people to pick up the ancestor.
The legendary Evil King's father.
This was the only way to make him hesitate.
A hint of determination flashed across her beautiful face. She looked at Doubloons on the ground below. She could not let Shi Zhixuan get the Longevity Codex. She had to think of a way to delay him until her master and the others arrived.
"Lord Evil King, don't you think you've gone too far by ignoring me like this?"
Wan Wan lightly jumped down from the branch and landed on the big rock behind Doubloons. She spoke softly to Shi Zhixuan.
Shi Zhixuan ignored her.
His gaze was like lightning as he looked at the two juniors. Since he decided not to kill Wan Wan, he would not be disturbed by her words.
"Hand it over."
His tone was very calm.
