Shangyang City, Taoist Sanqing Hall.

Li Changqing, the head of the Taoist Academy, said: "Oh, this little girl really doesn't make people worry."

"Who says otherwise?" Taoist priest Yuan on the side also sighed, "For the sake of the people in the city, opening the barrier costs a lot of money. The budget allocated by the Criminal Division is limited, so she should bear the cost."

Li Changqing said: "Forget it, she is quite pitiful. I just hope that old guy Yanyin won't go too far and just take away the sword fetus."

"But what should we do with Xie Qingyun?" Taoist Yuan asked, "Master Gan Yi seems to attach great importance to him. Should we send someone to bring him back?"

"Just a casual person." Li Changqing shook his head indifferently and said, "It's just that he has better qualifications, but he doesn't know how high the sky is to dare to interfere in the affairs of the Qingjian Sect. A fallen genius is worthless, so don't worry about him."

At this moment, divine light gathered on the Sanqing Shrine, a gap seemed to open in the void, and a letter fell out of the gap.

"Hey, what happened to the letter from the Criminal Division?"

Li Changqing was shocked. Letters from the Criminal Secretary were often major events related to the survival of a country. There was a special seal on the envelope, indicating that only people who were also the Criminal Secretary could open it.

Taoist priest Yuan asked in surprise: "Could it be that the Shendu Cult has made another move?"

"Send it to your lord..." Li Changqing said but took it back, "That's all, I'll go in person."

Yuan Daochang was curious and followed him outside Gan Yi's residence. At Li Changqing's signal, he went up and knocked on the door.

"What's the matter?" Gan Yi's voice came from inside.

"Sir, please read the letter from the Criminal Division." Li Changqing said respectfully.

The door opened and Gan Yi came out and took the letter from his hand. He opened it and read it, and couldn't help but smile happily.

When the two waiting people saw him laughing, they felt relieved. They expected that it was not a matter of destroying the country, so they also laughed. Li Changqing smiled and said, "Why are you laughing, sir?"

Gan Yi was in a good mood and said with a smile: "There is hope for promotion this time."

"That's it. Congratulations, sir. Congratulations, sir." Li Changqing said with a smile.

Gan Yi waved his hand: "It's hard to say. By the way, has Xie Qingyun been here? I want to see him."

Li Changqing was startled and quickly signaled to Taoist Yuan with his eyes. Taoist Yuan nodded hurriedly and said: "He has been here and left again."

"Where have you gone?" Gan Yi asked.

"This..." Daochang Yuan looked at Li Changqing, who avoided looking at him and refused to look at him. He gritted his teeth and said, "He was involved in the civil strife of Qingjian Sect, and he doesn't know whether he is alive or dead."

Gan Yi narrowed his eyes slightly: "Speak clearly."

Taoist priest Yuan then explained what happened just now and the causes and consequences one by one.

Gan Yi was silent for a moment after hearing this, and then said coldly: "If Xie Qingyun has any shortcomings, you two will go to the Mojing Mine to work as coolies!"

…

Above the cloud peaks.

Before the old man surnamed He finished speaking, his sword finger was already drawn forward. The figure holding the sword behind him gently handed out the sword in his hand. The sword seemed to stretch out from the illusion of the void, turned into a real sword, and attacked Shen Manqing. go.

"Thousand Fantasy Mirrors, Thunder Swords!"

Shen Manqing stepped back quickly, and the small sword released a massive amount of sword energy above her head, forming a thunder sword.

The two swords collided in the air, and the thunder sword instantly collapsed into powder.

Shen Manqing was unable to retreat and was hit in the chest by a huge impact. She vomited blood and finally understood that her uncle had no words and was not prepared to hold back at all. He just wanted to kill her.

She felt being caught in a warm embrace, and when she looked back, Xie Qingyun was smiling down at her. She knew that this man was sincerely happy because she had retrieved her things.

"I will open a way for you, you must go..."

Seeing this smile, her broken heart seemed to be infused with a little strength. She was determined that no matter what she did, she would never let Xie Qingyun die in this unknown place.

"Let's go together."

Xie Qingyun whispered, then hugged her tightly, silently reciting some incantation.

The next moment, both of them disappeared.

The whole audience was shocked.

"Don't panic, they can't escape." The old man surnamed Zhao said calmly, and a trace of his soul jumped out.

Li Rang picked up Bai Zhantian's neck and dragged him to Yanyin like a dead dog: "Master, this is the person who interfered with us in Shangyang City and made Shen Manqing escape here."

Bai Zhantian raised his head with difficulty, faced Yanyin's expressionless face, and said tremblingly: "No, that's not the case. I'm worried that Shen Manqing will go crazy in the city, hurt innocent mortals, and bring harm to the Taoist temple. An excuse to intervene.”

"So, what you did was all for the sake of Qingjian Sect?" Yanyin said.

"Yes..." Bai Zhantian felt the vague murderous intention and trembled all over, "Senior Yan, junior Bai Zhantian, I once visited your residence with my master, have you forgotten?"

"I remember you, a genius disciple of the Taiyi Sect. I heard that you were able to use the fire refining method when you were just shy of the fire?" Yanyin looked at him lightly, "What kind of fire refining method is it?"

"It's Suzaku, it's Suzaku..." Bai Zhantian cried sadly, "Senior, please spare your life. I am willing to serve the Qingjian Sect for ten years, no, twenty years. I have been able to refine the sword embryo, give me a chance?"

"That's really good." Yanyin smiled and helped him up, and even patted the non-existent dust for him.

Bai Zhantian looked at Yanyin in confusion, his heart still beating rapidly.

"Senior brother, we found it." The old man surnamed Zhao said.

…

What Xie Qingyun used was the "divine movement technique" taught to him by Si Nan. Of course, because of the lack of control spells, he usually "shelved it in a cabinet", fearing that he would escape to the bottom of a certain mountain and be unable to blow up the passage. Death, that would be a joke.

In the small space opened by the underground escape technique, neither of them spoke. Just now, they were thinking about life and death. Their emotions were so strong that they didn't feel anything. Now that they were out of danger, an awkward atmosphere suddenly filled the air.

The space for the expansion of the escape technique is limited, and the two are extremely close to each other, and they are still hugging each other one behind the other. It is weird and there seems to be something heating up that makes people's hearts beat faster.

"Ahem, I'll squeeze some more mana to at least make us all feel more comfortable..."

Xie Qingyun finally broke the silence and tried his best to repeat the spell many times, making the space covered by the escape technique continue to grow until it was big enough for two people to stand on it.

Their eyes met, and there was another moment of silence.

Shen Manqing asked: "What kind of magic is this?"

"Magic technique." Xie Qingyun said.

"Very good." Shen Manqing said.

"Escape is really good." Xie Qingyun said.

Then there was another moment of silence.

Shen Manqing suddenly put her hand on Xie Qingyun's head.

"What are you doing?" Xie Qingyun said.

Shen Manqing retracted her hand and said, "You just spoke, why did you touch my head?"

"Why can't you touch your head?" Xie Qingyun said.

"There is a custom in my hometown..." Shen Manqing said.

Xie Qingyun opened his eyes wide: "You don't mean to say that if a girl from your hometown touches her head, she will marry him?"

"How do you know?" Shen Manqing also opened her eyes wide.

Xie Qingyun looked at her in shock.

"I lied to you." Shen Manqing said.

"I'm just teasing you." Xie Qingyun said.

The two looked at each other for a moment, and both couldn't help laughing. The awkward atmosphere was swept away in the joke.

They were only a few inches apart, and Xie Qingyun could even count Shen Manqing's eyelashes. It was the first time he looked at Shen Manqing from such a close distance, and he found that she had a pair of straight eyebrows. The tips of her eyebrows were naturally slanted, and they were deeply buried in her bangs. She was awe-inspiring. All his heroic spirit was born from here; but underneath, unexpectedly, there is a pair of red and phoenix eyes, the tip of the eye evokes a curvature that even the master of painting can't describe, and there is a touch of softness.

Her nose line is unexpectedly small and graceful. Just looking at it, it is so weak that it makes people feel protective. This may be the reason why she always paints her lips blood red to cover it up - she doesn't want to show weakness to anyone.

"Why don't you move?" Shen Manqing asked.

Xie Qingyun said in shock: "I only have half of the spell for this spell."

"What should we do?" Shen Manqing asked.

"I'll maintain the spell, and you'll clear the way." Xie Qingyun said.

"What if there is a mountain above us?" Shen Manqing said.

"I've thought about this problem too, but it doesn't matter." Xie Qingyun said.

"Why?" Shen Manqing asked.

"Because there are two of us." Xie Qingyun said.

There are two people, which means there are double mana. Even if there is a mountain above your head, there is enough mana to get around it.

…

Now they are back on earth.

After Shen Manqing regained control of the sword fetus, his cultivation level had been restored. In addition, there was no mountain above their heads, so they easily opened a passage and escaped.

After escaping, they discovered that their location was deep in the forest above the waterfall, next to a branch of the Longxian River.

The two made simple repairs by the river.
