Gu Xu sat quietly at the bottom of the whirlpool and devoted himself to cultivation.

Although he had already noticed Zhao Yan's arrival through the restrictions around him, sometimes he couldn't stop when he wanted to do something like practice.

Perhaps it is because he learned from the "Karma Fire Sutra" of the Changshou Sect and improved the "Red Flame True Art".

While he was reciting scriptures, he always felt that the whole cave seemed to be echoing him.

Every word he spoke was like a military order.

After hearing the order, the fire in the ground gathered around him immediately without hesitation, eager to show their loyalty to him. They seemed to be afraid that if they came a second late, they would be beheaded by him.

As for Zhao Yan and her "Holy Fire Totem", they were completely forgotten.

As time goes by, the current of flames becomes more and more violent.

They rushed into Gu Xu's meridians and merged with his dark red, if substantial, essence.

He vaguely felt that his blood was gradually heating up, approaching boiling, and his bones and flesh were being roasted, almost scorching.

His body seemed to have become a black hole swallowing all fire.

At the same time, a complicated and obscure rune suddenly appeared in his conscious world.

It is dim in color and somewhat difficult to distinguish.

Gu Xu has never seen this rune before.

But when he saw it for the first time, he instantly understood its meaning——

"Hui Lu."

This all happens in just a few seconds.

When he opened his eyes, he found that the surrounding flames had extinguished, the magma had solidified, and the temperature in the cave had dropped rapidly.

But his body is filled with majestic energy.

Just now he climbed the 2560th step of "Homesickness Ridge" in one breath.

If others knew about his terrifying cultivation speed, their jaws would definitely drop in shock.

"It seems that the energy in the entire earth river has been absorbed by me during my cultivation." Gu Xu breathed a long sigh of relief and sighed silently in his heart.

Then he stood up, straightened his clothes, raised his head, and saw Zhao Yan floating in the air holding a spear.

I saw her red dress fluttering in the wind, like the red clouds in the sky at dawn.

From this angle, her exquisite and graceful figure curves are clearly visible, and her plump and straight breasts form a sharp contrast with her voluptuous waist.

Looking at the dry lava river, Zhao Yan showed a faint smile.

Zhao Yan's eyes are typical "fox eyes", with the ends of the eyes slightly upturned, and naturally have a hazy and charming look.

But at this time, her eyes were a little cold, and even had a fierce fighting spirit.

"Interesting." She chuckled.

In the past, when Zhao Yan was still running rampant in Luojing City, she once made a bold statement in front of the public that she would regard the world's heroes as her own grinding stones.

At that time, whenever the monks of her generation in Luojing City saw her in this gorgeous red dress, they were all frightened and their hair stood on end.

Until three years ago, she was forcibly driven out of the capital by her father, Duke of Yan Zhao Changying, and sent to the Qi border guard army, saying that he wanted to "harden her character."

According to rumors, Zhao Yan was so arrogant and domineering that she didn't even listen to her father's words. In anger, Duke Yan used the power of a saint to knock her out, tie her up, and put her in a sack.

take away.

That night, the young geniuses in Luojing rushed to the door of the statue of God to burn incense and worship, thanking God for his mercy and finally sending away this disaster star.

The rumors may be exaggerated.

However, Zhao Yan's "militant" attribute is not fake.

Gu Xu sucked up all the heat in the magma river, making her unable to continue to consolidate the "Holy Fire Totem" here, which undoubtedly made her a little annoyed.

But at the same time, she also began to be curious about Gu Xu's origin and true strength.

She couldn't help but think: This mysterious man in Tsing Yi could make such a big noise in this cave by himself, so he must be no ordinary person. Maybe he is a good sharpening stone for me.

Anyway, she has an excuse to fight now.

So without saying a word, she picked up the spear and flew towards the middle of the dry river, her blood-red skirt like a blazing flame.

However, at this moment, she suddenly and inexplicably fell into a trance.

The next second, when she came to her senses, the man in Tsing Yi disappeared out of thin air, and he was nowhere to be seen again.

Zhao Yan's figure froze on the spot.

From a distance, it looks like a red butterfly hovering in the air.

"Interesting." She opened her red lips slightly and commented again.

Zhao Yan had just been promoted to the fifth level monk not long ago. Not only did she have the ability to leave her body, but her spiritual perception was also greatly improved, and she could completely cover the entire cave.

But the man in green was able to get rid of her mental perception and sneak away quietly, which obviously proved that he was very strong, at least at the fourth realm, and probably also mastered precious magic weapons or spells that concealed the aura.

But for such a strong person, why did he just sneak away without even looking at me?

Zhao Yan frowned.

…………

Gu Xu's idea is actually very simple.

If you can't beat him, of course you have to run away.

Zhao Yan is truly a strong person in the fifth level.

If he met Chu Fengge, a fool who only wanted to be "number one in the world", Gu Xu might even try a few moves with him, just as a training exercise.

But Zhao Yan is different.

According to rumors in the capital, she never held back in fights before, and many young prodigies were injured and disabled by her, and some were even beaten to death by her.

So Gu Xu directly activated "Time" and "Meteor Walking Moon" without hesitation, and instantly ran more than thirty miles away.

Since when "Time" is turned on, Zhao Yan's time is equivalent to being suspended, so she naturally cannot detect Gu Xu's escape path with her spiritual perception.

…………

In the cave.

After Gu Xu left, Zhao Yan also slowly fell back to the ground.

The training plan was terminated.

Now that the "Luoshui Conference" was approaching, Zhao Yan counted the time in her mind and felt that it was time for her to go to the capital.

Luo Jing's new house should be almost completed.

Luo Jing's group of so-called "geniuses" may already be gearing up and waiting to take revenge on her.

I heard that a young man named Gu recently came to Qingzhou Prefecture, and he was very popular in Luojing. Both his peers and elders highly praised him, and his reputation was comparable to hers a few years ago.

In addition, Miss Liuli from Jiaofangsi, Mengdie Oiran from Baihua Tower, Moon Yin Dancer from Zuichun Pavilion... must have been waiting for her in the capital for a long time.

Zhao Yan has always hated having close contact with men.

In addition, Duke Yan was quite indulgent towards her.

Even after the Double Ten years, she is still not married.

One of her hobbies is to go to brothels of all sizes and discuss life with beautiful girls with different talents.

Although it is quite unconventional for a woman to visit a brothel.

But if this woman is Zhao Yan, then no one will be surprised. Anyway, she has always been maverick and can do all kinds of weird things.

She often spends a lot of money in the brothel, and with her charming and sassy temperament, she is actually quite popular among courtesans.

After all, among the guests in the brothel, there are only a few handsome and talented people, and the majority are high-ranking officials and wealthy businessmen with big belly. Instead of serving them, the oirans are obviously more willing to spend the night with the beautiful and wealthy Miss Zhao.

Because Zhao Yan stole the favor of the brothel girls, many of Luo Jing's powerful disciples secretly hated her, but they did not dare to show it, and they only dared to say bad things about her behind her back.

…………

After leaving the cave and seeing the light of day again, Zhao Yan took off a delicate whistle hanging around her neck and blew it gently.

A few minutes later, a gust of wind roared past the canyon.

In that narrow sliver of sky, more than ten dazzling lights suddenly flashed, like thunder and lightning tearing apart dark clouds and streaking across the vast expanse of sky.

Immediately afterwards, these rays of light turned into meteors in the sky, accompanied by the sound of "whooshing" airflow, dragging their afterimages, and landed not far in front of Zhao Yan.

There were actually more than a dozen monks dressed in black and flying with swords!

Their movements were uniform and exactly the same.

Standing together, they exude awe-inspiring power.

"I've met the eldest lady." They all bowed to Zhao Yan and saluted.

Zhao Yan raised her eyebrows and smiled, holding the spear, she rose into the air and pointed in the direction of Luo Jing.
Chapter completed!
