At this moment, a warm breeze blew past. Han Xu vaguely saw a white figure floating over. It seemed to be a man, but he could not see his face clearly. Han Xu's chest was filled with grief, and he spat out another mouthful of blood. He completely fainted.
Black Cicada was first shocked when he saw who it was, then he looked puzzled.
" It's actually you. I really didn't expect…"
Black Cicada could feel that the person in front of him was surging with vital essence. His cultivation must be above the Golden Core stage, which was much higher than his own. He might have already reached the middle stage of the Golden Core stage. She clearly understood that once a Xiuzhenist's cultivation reached the Golden Core stage, even a small difference would be a huge difference. Seeing this person in front of her, Hei Chan Wang did not dare to act rashly. However, for the sake of the mission, she did not want to give up just like that.
"May I know who Young Master is?" Black Cicada asked tentatively.
"I advise you to leave quickly. Otherwise, don't blame me for being merciless!”The white-robed man's tone was unyielding, and there was not the slightest hint of mockery in it.
"Hmph, let me experience your skills!”Seeing that Black Cicada did not dare to move, Shan Yu could not hold his breath for a moment and rushed out.
"Come back quickly!" Black Cicada wanted to make a move to stop Shan Yu, but his speed was extremely fast and could not be stopped at all.
"Humph!"
The white-robed man snorted coldly. He turned around and instantly disappeared from their sight. Shan Yu was startled. He stopped in his tracks and looked around for the white-robed man. Black Cicada had a bad feeling. The bamboo leaf in her hand grew longer with the wind. She jumped onto the bamboo leaf and flew into the air. She looked around vigilantly, but she could not find it.
Just as the two of them were extremely nervous, Black Cicada suddenly felt darkness above her head, as if something was pressing down on her. Then she looked up and saw a huge paper fan with a beautiful painting of mountains and rivers on it. It slowly flew over her head.
"Wind Lightning Mountain River Fan! You're from the royal family!" Black Cicada recognized this magic treasure at a glance. She knew that only the imperial family would use a fan-type magic treasure. She was so scared that her face turned pale. She just wanted to leave quickly.
Looking at Shan Yu on the ground, he had already been struck by a white-robed man who had appeared out of nowhere. Blood flowed out of his mouth as he retreated continuously. Black Cicada knew clearly that Shan Yu was only at the Divine Void Refinement Realm, so how could he withstand this palm strike? She quickly flew down, grabbed Shan Yu, and left on the bamboo leaf.
The white-robed man raised his right hand, and the huge fan shook violently, stirring up a few wind blades that attacked Black Cicada. Black Cicada had nowhere to retreat to, so he could only give it his all. He released a puff of black smoke in an attempt to block the wind blade. However, the power of the wind blade was extremely fierce. Not only did it blow away the black smoke, but it also seriously injured Black Cicada. Without hesitation, Black Cicada used the remaining vital essence and the bamboo leaves disappeared in the blink of an eye.
The white-robed man saw that Black Cicada had left, so he withdrew his treasured fan. He then looked at the four people who had fainted on the ground and let out a long sigh. His expression slowly relaxed as he muttered to himself," Sigh, after severely injuring that demon dweller, I finally have a few days of peace. This damn mission…"
The four people gradually woke up in the evening of the second day. Han Xu opened his eyes and saw the busy Li Li. He looked at him with a smile and said,"You guys are finally awake. I was really afraid that something bad would happen to you…Now, it's good. Get up and drink some water to regulate your breathing.”
Han Xu shook his head, which was still in pain, as he slowly recalled something.
"Li Li, what's going on? Didn't Black Cicada defeat us?”Tang Wan 'er stood up. Her face was a little pale as she asked weakly.
"I'm not too sure. When I came back to find you, you were all lying on the ground. I was the one who carried you back to the cave.”Li Li said as he pretended to rub his shoulders.
"Could it be Xiao Xu? Did you use the brocade bag given by Madam Jin Ling?”Nangong Kun turned to look at Han Xu.
"No, at that time, my primeval essence was empty and I completely lost my ability to move. I couldn't open the brocade bag at all. "Although I was a little confused at that time, I vaguely saw a man in white save me. Unfortunately, I fainted before I could see his face…" Han Xu recounted everything that he recalled.
"The white-robed man…who is he?”Everyone was puzzled.
"Xiao Xu…quickly check if the secret letter is still there.”Nangong Qian asked in a tired voice. Perhaps it was because his old injuries had not healed yet, and he had new ones, but Nangong Qian looked especially weak.
After Han Xu heard the instructions, he summoned the Haoran Mirror. His hand seals changed, and a secret letter gradually rose from the mirror. When everyone saw this, they were relieved. Before he left, Nangong Qian was afraid that something like this would happen, so he let Han Xu keep the secret letter. Without Han Xu's unique mental cultivation method, he could forget about getting the secret letter.
"Don't worry, Big Brother Qian. The secret letter is with me.”Han Xu promised confidently.
"Looks like the white-robed man Xiao Xu spoke of is a friend and not an enemy. No matter what, we should hurry up. Since our whereabouts have been exposed, we can't sit still and wait for death. As long as we cross this Sparrow Sunshine Mountain and reach Cihang Ancient Town, we will be safe.”Tang Wan 'er suggested.
"Why are we safe when we reach Cihang Ancient Town?”Han Xu and Li Li asked in unison.
"You might not know this, but this Kind Boathouse is located in the ancient town of Kind Boathouse. Kind Boathouse is a large sect among the righteous sects. The sect leaders, Jinghui and Nun Jingyi, are already at the Embryo of Dao stage. No matter how presumptuous the demon dwellers are, I don't think they would dare to offend a holy place like Kind Boathouse.”
"Oh!" Han Xu and Li Li nodded after hearing this. They really wanted to hurry to Cihang Ancient Town and see the sacred Cihang Jingzhai.
"Alright, let's rest for a day. Tomorrow, we'll follow Wan 'er's route.”Nangong Qian made the final decision.
That night, after Han Xu and Li Li went to bed, Nangong Qian tossed and turned, unable to sleep. When he got up, he saw that Tang Wan 'er had also disappeared when Nangong Kun was supposed to be on guard duty. Nangong Qian was afraid that something had happened, so he quietly went out of the cave.
Nangong Qian had just walked to the entrance of the cave when he saw the faint fire beside the forest. Upon closer inspection, he realized that it was Nangong Kun and Tang Wan 'er. The two of them were surrounding the bonfire and seemed to be chatting about something. Nangong Qian gradually moved closer to the fire, and their conversation gradually became clearer.
"Brother Kun, do you think Brother Qian likes me?”Tang Wan 'er looked at the fire and asked foolishly.
"Silly Wan 'er, if my brother didn't like you, why would he get engaged to you?”Nangong Kun lowered his head as he spoke, not daring to look into her eyes.
"But why do I feel that Brother Qian is more concerned about the jade pendant on his waist than I am? What kind of jade pendant was that? Who gave it to him?”
Nangong Kun had expected her to ask this question, but he didn't expect it to come so suddenly.
"This…maybe you're thinking too much. My brother loves you deeply. After all, we've had a relationship for more than ten years!”
"But…but…"
"Wan 'er, why did you come out?"
Nangong Qian's sudden words shocked the two of them. They did not notice that Nangong Qian was already standing behind them. They did not know if he had heard their conversation.
"Brother Qian…why are you out? You haven't recovered yet!”Tang Wan 'er deliberately avoided his question and asked with concern.
"I couldn't sleep, so I came out for a walk!"
"Brother, Wan 'er, go in and sleep. Leave tonight to me!”Nangong Kun was afraid that Nangong Qian would continue to question him, so he quickly told them to go back.
Nangong Qian realized the awkwardness his intervention had brought to the two of them, so he didn't ask further. He looked at the stars in the sky and sighed." This time, it's really lucky that you're here. Otherwise, the four of us would have been exposed to the wilderness!"”
"Yes, and the white-robed man that Xiao Xu mentioned. It seems that he defeated Black Cicada!”Tang Wan 'er agreed.
"Brother, we have never seen this white-robed man before. We don't know who he is, but he might have something to do with this secret letter. Also, why did the Devil Dao know about the secret letter? Could it be that there's a traitor among us?”Nangong Kun had his suspicions, but he had no clue.
"Are you talking about Little Xu or Lili?”Nangong Qian said coldly.
" No..." Nangong Qian was a little anxious when he heard that. He quickly defended himself.
"Xiao Xu is our life and death friend. He is kind and honest. Although Li Li used to be a bandit, he is now a chivalrous bandit. If it weren't for him, we would have died long ago. If he wanted to harm us, I'm afraid our lives would have already passed away!”Nangong Qian scolded Nangong Kun sternly.
" No, I'm just saying. Of course I believe them…" Nangong Kun looked innocent.
"Alright, I know you didn't mean it, but don't even think about it in the future. They are our friends and brothers, how can we treat our brothers with the heart of a gentleman and the belly of a villain? Since everyone met in fate, it was fate. We cultivators should cherish fate and value it.”
After listening to Nangong Qian's words, Nangong Kun nodded his head in relief.
"Brother Qian, I think what Brother Kun said is not completely unreasonable. Although Li Li is now our partner, we can't forget his identity. With this attack, things won't be as simple as they seem. And that mysterious white-robed man, we still can't determine if he's a friend or foe…Right now, we can only take one step at a time!”Tang Wan 'er continued.
"Hey!" Nangong Qian let out a long sigh and said,""Alright, it's meaningless for us to continue fighting like this. Wan 'er, you're tired too. Go in and rest. I want to have a good chat with second brother.”
Tang Wan 'er could only tactfully leave after hearing Nangong Qian's words. At this moment, only the Nangong Twins were left by the fire. The two of them looked at each other quietly without making a sound.
"Do you like Wan 'er?"
Nangong Qian's words broke the silence. Nangong Kun was shocked and didn't know how to answer.
"You still love her!" Nangong Qian asked again when he didn't answer.
"Brother…really, there's nothing between me and Wan 'er. She's devoted to you! " We were actually…" Nangong Kun sounded extremely anxious. He didn't dare to say anything else as he was afraid that the more he explained, the more troublesome it would be.
