After killing Xu Tian and the other two, the cruel look on Xu Zitang's face disappeared, he regained his composure, turned around and walked towards Xu Ziqing, saying at the same time: "Thank you for your help, young master, Xu Zitang is deeply grateful."

Xu Ziqing shook his head and said: "It was you who got rid of these two evil people. I didn't do anything to help you."

Xu Zitang said: "Whether it is this jade talisman or the body-protecting magical weapon, it must be inspired by spiritual power. If it were not for the help of the young master, I would definitely be here."

Xu Ziqing smiled slightly and did not argue with her: "Since the girl is fine, I will take my leave."

Xu Zitang was slightly surprised. She had thought that this person recognized her origins and had just taken action, but now it seems that he did not. She immediately said: "Young Master, don't be anxious." She paused and then asked, "I don't know which family the Young Master is from.

, when I go back to report to brother Ming, I might as well come and say thank you." As for this man's disheveled clothes, which was quite indecent, she did not mention it.

Xu Ziqing said: "Girl, you don't have to be like this, it's just a matter of effort."

After all, Xu Zitang is a person with a clear distinction between grudges and grudges. This gentleman only has the seventh level of Qi refining. Although his escape skills are amazing, how can he ensure safety? But he is willing to draw his sword to help. Even though he said that he has not been of much help, Xu Zitang is indeed

I accepted this life-saving grace.

When she saw that Xu Ziqing was about to leave, she said slightly angrily: "Brother, you don't want to be named, but you look down on me?"

Xu Ziqing has always known Xu Zitang as cold as ice, but now why is he getting to the bottom of it so much? In desperation, he had no choice but to say: "Miss Zitang, I am also a member of the Xu family, so you don't need to ask any more questions."

Xu Zitang was surprised: "I recognize several brothers in the clan who are similar to you in cultivation, but..." She looked at it with cold eyes. Those brothers were all arrogant, but this person was very humble and peaceful.

There is no similarity at all. It's just that if this person wants to lie, he doesn't need to use the Xu family as a raft. It can be seen that there must be something difficult to tell.

As a benefactor, but unwilling to expose himself, Xu Zitang also did not want to be too forced on others. He simply said: "In this case, I won't ask any more questions. We have less than an hour to leave the secret realm. Why don't you come with me, brother?"

So we can take care of each other."

Seeing that she didn't ask, Xu Ziqing couldn't refuse any more, so he agreed. Then Xu Zitang searched the two bodies and took the storage bags of the two. Naturally, she also asked Xu Ziqing about his wishes, but Xu Ziqing refused.

.

The two of them no longer hunted for treasures and secrets, but only walked along the way, chatting a few words from time to time. Xu Ziqing had not been out for five years, so he had to make insinuations and ask questions about the outside world. Although Xu Zitang was puzzled as to why this gentleman was so ignorant of affairs, she was willing to help him clear up his doubts.

As a small reward. Later, she had some suspicions, but she just kept it in her heart and did not ask further questions.

Only then did Xu Ziqing realize that a lot of big things had happened in the past five years.

First, due to the last trip to the secret realm, all five aristocratic families lost many outstanding children. After leaving, the Xu family suffered the least losses and received a lot of criticism.

At this time, the Tian family launched a family war against the Xu family. Not only did they hinder the Xu family from all aspects of their property, but they also dispatched patrols to kill the Xu family's descendants who were on missions. They also communicated with the five families on many sides.

Zhong was in tit-for-tat with the Xu family. Although the other three families didn't like the Tian family's aggressiveness, they never sided with the Xu family. Instead, they occasionally reached out and took some advantage during the melee between the two families.

Originally, the two families of Xu and Tian were similar in strength, but the Tian family suddenly used a pill called "Spirit-Promoting Pill". As long as a monk whose cultivation level is above the fifth level of Qi Refining and below the foundation building level takes this pill, his cultivation level will be able to

The price skyrocketed immediately, ranging from at least one level to as many as two levels.

, if a monk at the ninth level of Qi Refining takes it, it will be comparable to foundation building in a short period of time, which is really powerful. If there is any disadvantage, the effect of the elixir will disappear after two hours, and then the monk will be weak for three days.

There is nothing wrong with it.

Because of the help of this elixir, the Tian family had the upper hand in the fight with the Xu family. Whenever their children went out, they must have this elixir with them. Over time, the Xu family lost many outstanding children.

Later, the head of the family, Xu Zhengtian, simply issued an order to kill the people of the Tian family. Therefore, once the two families outside met, they would fight continuously. The Tian family had a number of monks at the ninth level of Qi refining who wantonly killed the people of the Xu family. They were only slightly inferior in strength.

How could the ordinary disciples be their opponents? The Xu family had no choice but to leave one or two people to guard the Xu family, so they sent all the foundation monks out to protect the outstanding disciples with the greatest potential.

In the past five years, the two families have formed a deadly feud, and there may be no chance of reconciliation within hundreds of years.

Now that the Linyuan Secret Realm has been opened again, the heads of the five families still have to work together. Recently, the Tian family has been too arrogant. The three families of Luo, Meng, and Wei have put pressure on each other and agreed that among the three families, only those who are above the ninth level of Qi Refining are not allowed to enter the secret realm. This is considered

He slightly provided some protection to other disciples. For geniuses like Xu Zitang, the elders and family heads even gave the best magical weapons to them in order to save their lives.

When Xu Ziqing heard this, he realized why he had never seen the foundation-building monks in the secret realm. It turned out to be because of this.

After Xu Zitang said this, he sighed: "My five families have controlled this secret realm for a long time, and we can still come in this time, but the Tian family has great ambitions, and if they continue to be so arrogant... five years later, no one will be allowed in again for no reason.

"

Xu Ziqing thought to himself that he had to leave the secret realm this time, otherwise if these disciples really don't come next year, he might be trapped and die here.

The two talked for a while, and Xu Zitang came along the road. When he saw the Xu clan's spiritual fire exploding in the air, he knew it was summoning his fellow clan members, so he couldn't help but speed up his pace.

After a while, when I walked to a green area, I could already see more than a dozen figures in clothes. Some of them looked very familiar. Xu Ziqing recognized them as being from the Xu family.

Xu Zitang's face turned cold, and she stood side by side with Xu Ziqing. Those disciples knew her temperament and did not come to talk to her. However, they looked sideways at Xu Ziqing, as if they didn't know why she could be friends with that cold beauty.

Love. There were two admirers of Xu Zitang, who cast jealous eyes on Xu Ziqing, who felt like a thorn in his back.

After finally surviving for more than half an hour, the ground suddenly shook, and five portals appeared in the sky. The portals were ten feet high and ten feet wide, standing in the air like a door to the sky, which was extremely shocking.

Such a tall portal can probably be seen clearly from anywhere in the secret realm.

Xu Ziqing was shocked, but the door suddenly changed.

I saw five gates bursting with light, and a white light suddenly fell down, forming a huge light shield that trapped all the Xu family members. Then the light shield was lifted up, and everyone was swept up.

Xu Ziqing was extremely nervous, fearing that something was wrong with the light. Fortunately, it didn't happen. The white light hit his body with a slight heat but no pain, so he naturally soared into the air and floated upward.

When Xu Zitang saw this, he felt a little relieved. Since there was nothing wrong with the cover, the identity of this person as a member of the Xu family was unmistakable.

After only about a breath or two in total, the mask of light fell to the ground and dispersed, and everyone was down to earth. In front of them was the head of the family, Xu Zhengtian, who had just taken back the jade sword.

At this time, the people of the five aristocratic families were clearly separated, each occupying a position. The Tian family and the Xu family were far away from each other. Xu Zhengtian waved his hand and said: "Go back quickly. Don't stay here. You must be careful on the road."

Everyone responded in unison: "Yes."

Xu Zhengtian called Xu Zitang to come to him and ask questions. Xu Zitang couldn't talk to Xu Ziqing, so he just said "I'm sorry" and went over immediately.

And Xu Ziqing quietly fell to the end, gradually distancing himself from others.

This time, due to the serious situation, those spiritual birds were sent out to provide transportation for the foundation-building monks. Therefore, everyone used the wind control technique to travel. In order to save spiritual power, they did not use magic weapons and stayed away from the ground.

Quite close.

This move was in line with Xu Ziqing's thoughts. He used a concealment technique on himself and hid from the attention of several accompanying elders. He used a giant tree he encountered on the road to hide silently. When the people in front of him had gone farther, he

He immediately used the Wood Escape Technique and quickly went in another direction.

Later, Xu Zitang finally told Xu Zhengtian what happened in the secret realm, and Xu Zhengtian was also very interested in his savior. However, when Xu Zitang was about to introduce Xu Ziqing to the head of the family, he was nowhere to be seen again.

Xu Zhengtian was extremely surprised: "He left without anyone noticing?"

Xu Zitang sighed: "That man has excellent escape skills. I don't know where he found him. He helped me, but he concealed his face. He is clearly a member of my Xu family. I don't know why he did this."

Xu Zhengtian's eyes darkened, and then he said: "There is no malice, so don't worry about him. But if you see this person again in the future, maybe you will recognize him?"

Xu Zitang thought for a while and said: "This person's aura is very natural, and he is very easy to recognize."

Xu Zhengtian nodded in approval: "That's all."

Not to mention what Xu Zhengtian and Xu Zitang thought, Xu Ziqing finally escaped from the Xu family without any danger. He traveled day and night and was hundreds of miles away. When he was convinced that no one could pursue him, he took off the covering on his face.

Showed a slight smile.

After heaving a sigh of relief, Xu Ziqing sat cross-legged under the shade of a tree. Now he also knew that walking was dangerous and it was better to be careful. Therefore, he could rely on trees at any time and escape from them at any time.

After sitting down, he still sank his consciousness into the storage ring. After a while, he received a response from the person in the ring. Xu Ziqing placed a restraint around him and saw a man in white suddenly appear in front of him.

Xu Ziqing was in a good mood, raised his head and said: "Brother Yun, please sit down."

Yun Lie also sat down and faced Xu Ziqing: "I have seen all kinds of things just now."

Xu Ziqing was slightly startled and said with a smile: "What do you think, Brother Yun?"

Yun Lie's expression was cold: "It's good that you have a kind heart." A trace of murderous intent flashed in his eyes, "Anyone who is an adulterer and evildoer, and anyone who betrays his relatives and friends, should be killed."

It was rare for Xu Ziqing to hear Yun Lie's approval, and he was a little happy: "Since Brother Yun said so, I think I did the right thing."

Yun Lie nodded slightly: "It's just that you are not strong enough and you still need to practice hard."

Xu Ziqing knew that his friend always spoke frankly, so he was not unhappy. Instead, he responded: "That's right. If Miss Zitang hadn't had the trick to get the best out of the situation, I would have been in trouble this time." He ended up risking his life to save others.

It would be extremely unwise to go in.

Then Yun Lie pointed out Xu Ziqing's mistakes and omissions in his fight with others one by one, and asked him to be careful not to do it again in the future. He also said: "You have the demon vine in your hand, so you should be able to defend yourself. But this thing is too evil.

You have not yet found your own way, and if you are not extremely vigilant, your mind may be shaken and you may fall into the devil's path."

Xu Ziqing was horrified and immediately reflected on himself. The bloodthirsty demon vine is indeed useful, but after all, his cultivation level has not kept up. Although he is not worried about its backlash, if he is fascinated by the evil spirit, he is in danger of going astray. Fortunately,

Xu Ziqing is not a bloodthirsty person. If his opponent is not evil, he cannot bear to let the demon vine eat his blood and do such a cruel thing.

Yun Lie also knew Xu Ziqing's character, so he just mentioned it briefly to make him wary.

After the incident had passed, Xu Ziqing recalled the fiercest battle in the secret realm and recalled the three sword energies. He was quite heartbroken and couldn't help but praise: "Master Zifeng placed his sword energy in the jade talisman, and he slashed with his breath.

These two are really awesome!" At this point, he turned his head to look at his friend who was always dressed in white and asked, "Brother Yun, I think I've seen you too, what can I say?"

Just because this friend's spirit is so vast that no one he has ever seen can match him. Therefore, in front of Yun Lie, he does not call others his senior. Now if I want to ask Xu Zifeng how his sword energy is, I also want to ask Yun Lie for advice and evaluation.

.

Yun Lie pondered for a moment and said: "The sword energy is quite thick, but it is complicated. It needs to be tempered many times before you can get started."

Xu Ziqing was surprised, Xu Zifeng's sword energy was extremely sharp. He thought it was the best, but he never expected that it would not be the best in the eyes of his friends, which showed that his friends were strict. The two had known each other for many years, and although Yun Lie was cold and taciturn, he never told lies.

Since he said that Xu Zifeng was quite deficient, he must be deficient.

He then smiled and said: "Master Zifeng, if you want to go further, what should you do?"

Yun Lie said coldly: "If you don't use your spiritual power, you will swing your sword 30,000 times a day until you correct the sword's power, and then we won't talk about anything else."
To be continued...
