Chapter three hundred and seventy-eight, a stick of incense in exchange for life
Lu Feng had a hint of coldness on his face.
Jun Ziyi took Gan Xin's words and continued: "I should have reacted a long time ago. Xiaolan's parents looked very ugly when they heard that we rescued Xiaolan from the Black Demon Palace. At that time, I should have been on guard. Two, but I relaxed again after seeing Xiaolan’s warm and innocent smile.”
"Xiaolan's family comes from a poor family, and they definitely don't dare to offend forces like the Black Demon Palace. Her parents secretly informed the people in the Dark Demon Palace, probably because they were thinking about their own lives."
Shao Yue said coldly: "How can people be so selfish that they would sacrifice us to the Black Demon Palace for their own lives?"
"What happened next? How did Zhao Yan get injured?" Lu Feng asked.
Qian Xin said: "Later, we all ate the poisoned food. Because Ning Xiang and Zhao Yan were helping, the food was served a little late. Except for them, we all got infected."
Ning Xiang blamed herself: "I should be blamed for this. If I could have discovered there was something wrong with the food earlier, I wouldn't have..."
Jun Ziyi comforted him: "How can I blame you for this? In that kind of atmosphere, who can pay attention to everything?"
Gan Xin continued: "When our poisoned spiritual energy dispersed and it was difficult to maintain it, we were surrounded by countless Black Demon Palace disciples outside the door, and the leader was Yao Jin. Although Ningxiang helped detoxify, at least one stick of incense was needed as soon as possible. It takes time to regain strength."
"Zhao Yan paid for this stick of incense with his life."
Everyone looked at Zhao Yan lying on the bed in silence, with expressions full of emotion and guilt.
Especially Shaoyang, after this battle, he felt a sense of trust that he had never had before, a friendship worthy of his life.
Lu Feng's expression was also a little touched. Zhao Yan had just broken through to the chakra realm a while ago. He was no match for those disciples of the Black Demon Palace. You can imagine what kind of torture he went through during that stick of incense!
"Where are Gu Lingling and Yan Xinhui? Have you ever met them?"
Everyone shook their heads.
Lu Feng frowned. Gu Lingling and the others were entrusted by him to secretly protect Qian Xin, Jun Ziyi and others. Now that Zhao Yan is so injured and they have not yet come to rescue them, it is very likely that they have encountered an accident or encountered something difficult to escape from. thing.
"You stay here and protect Zhao Yan. I'll call Lao Ye over."
Just as Lu Feng was about to ask Ye Fan to diagnose and treat Zhao Yan, he suddenly heard that Zhao Yan had woken up from a coma.
Zhao Yan coughed and called out to Lu Feng, "Teacher Lu, don't bother Teacher Ye, my injury is not serious."
Junziyi heard this and said anxiously: "Why is it not heavy? How can it not be heavy when so many meridians are broken!"
Zhao Yan smiled bitterly, raised his hand and showed his wrist to Ning Xiang, "It really doesn't matter, my broken meridians have begun to heal."
Upon seeing this, Ning Xiang hurried over and put her hand on Zhao Yan's pulse. After checking, she shouted with surprise and joy: "This is really amazing. Brother Zhao Yan's meridians are really healing on their own little by little." Why."
Everyone looked at Zhao Yan in surprise, and they were all extremely surprised.
Suddenly, Ning Xiang remembered what Ye Fan once said and said in shock: "I know, it must be because of Brother Zhao Yan's blocked pulse constitution. Teacher Ye once said that his meridians are different from ordinary people, with terrible toughness and resilience. If
He is no different from ordinary people when he suffers other injuries, but the injuries on the meridians can heal on their own."
Zhao Yan was secretly grateful when he heard this. Fortunately, the enemy he encountered today was good at horizontal kung fu, and it was his meridians that were shattered, rather than slashed with swords and swords.
Ning Xiang thought deeply and said: "Judging from this recovery speed, if I prepare some elixirs for Brother Zhao Yan, he should be able to fully recover in ten days and a half."
Zhao Yan smiled gently at Ning Xiang and asked, "What happened to those disciples from the Black Demon Palace? They didn't hurt you, did they?"
Zhao Yan fainted after delaying the incense stick at that time. He didn't know what happened after that. When he woke up, he had already returned to the inn.
"Except for Yao Jin, everyone else is dead," Ning Xiang said softly.
Shao Yang and Jun Ziyi, who were the first to regain their strength, saw that Zhao Yan was injured like this. They were filled with anger and murderous intentions suddenly emerged. They fought with the disciples of the Black Demon Palace with guns and swords, as if they were possessed by a demon and were unstoppable.
Yao Jin saw that the two men were so fierce and could not gain any advantage in the battle, so he left his disciples behind and fled.
As for Xiaolan's family, how could they dare to stay here? They quickly fled Black Wind Town after the Black Demon Palace retreated. Although Jun Ziyi and others were disdainful and angry, they did not stop them.
…
Late at night, half past midnight.
A figure quietly left the inn and headed straight for a fireworks alley at a very fast speed.
A cold light flashed across the night, and screams echoed through the streets.
Yao Jin, who was venting his dissatisfaction on the prostitute, opened his eyes wide. There was a bloodstain on his throat, and he no longer had any hope of life.
It was Lu Feng who took action. The moment he saw Zhao Yan's injury, he already had murderous intentions.
The figure flew away like the wind. Even after Yao Jin's death, no one noticed Lu Feng's appearance.
Walking on the depressing and lonely streets, Lu Feng felt a little confused. Was it a wrong decision for him to arrange for these students to come here for training? On the first day of the formal training, Zhao Yan was injured like this.
If it was not Zhao Yan who was injured today, and the meridians would be left with sequelae that would be difficult to recover from, Lu Feng might not be able to accept it.
At the same time, the whereabouts of Gu Lingling and Yan Xinhui have become something Lu Feng is more concerned about now.
On the way back to the inn, a very soft shout came. Lu Feng recognized it as Gu Lingling's voice and pursued it until he came to an alley.
Gu Lingling was the only one in the alley, and Lu Feng used the cold moonlight to see that Gu Lingling's body was stained with blood.
"What happened? Where is Yan Xinhui?"
Gu Lingling's face was a little pale, and he said: "Today we met an extremely powerful elder of the Black Demon Palace. Seeing that man following your students, Senior Brother Yan stopped him, but who knew that although that man only had five elements?
He has the strength of the Four Qi Realm, but he has practiced a set of sword skills that are not weak at the same level. In addition, with the secret method in hand, the two of us are no match, and each of us was injured."
"Senior Brother Yan was worried that if he escaped back to the inn, his hiding place would be exposed and everyone would be hurt, so he proposed to escape separately and let him lure the man away. We made an appointment to meet here, but I waited until now and he hasn't..."
At the entrance of the alley, Yan Xinhui's figure suddenly appeared, with his right hand supporting the wall and his left hand covering his chest. He was wrapped in a layer of gauze and shouted to Gu Lingling.
When Lu Feng saw this, he immediately walked quickly with Gu Lingling.
"Senior Brother Yan, you..." Gu Linling couldn't help but choked up when she saw a blood mark on Yan Xinhui's chest and a very deep stab wound, "Go back to the inn quickly, I will give you medicine."
Yan Xinhui smiled sadly: "I have survived the most difficult stage. I can't die. I have already applied the healing medicine."
"Who hurt you like this?" Lu Feng said with a bit of anger.
Yan Xinhui shook his head: "I heard that the swordsman asked about the Guojian Restaurant. I'm afraid it has something to do with Wu Han or Wu Zhongyuan."
Gu Lingling came to his senses and said, "No wonder that person secretly followed your students. He probably recognized the student named Jun Ziyi that Wu Han kidnapped, and wanted to question what happened in the restaurant that day."
Yan Xinhui agreed: "If we intervene, we may be mistaken for a group, or the murderer of Wu Han and others."
Lu Feng pondered for a moment, and there was indeed such a person among the swordsmen who had contact with Wu Han and Wu Zhongyuan according to the information he received.
"Does that person have a huge broad knife? The blade also has an inverted blade like a tiger's tooth?"
Yan Xinhui nodded. If the knife wound on his chest had been hit by an ordinary knife, it would have left at least a trace, but the swordsman's knife had an inverted blade and ripped off a piece of his flesh.
After hearing Yan Xinhui's confirmation, Lu Feng could basically know the identity of that person. He was one of the core elders of the Black Demon Palace, named Li Gongping. He had a Ghost Tooth Sword that was close to the quality of earth-grade goods. This person was also
He is one of the two swordsmen named by Ling Tian.
Gu Lingling took out the Hanxin Sword and said, "It's not safe for me to leave this sword. It was almost taken away today."
Seeing Lu Feng's hesitation, Gu Lingling said: "The breathing and breathing technique you taught me can also be used with other cold things. I can find a substitute."
"Keep carrying it. If someone robs it, I will take it back," Lu Feng said calmly but domineeringly.
This was originally intended to increase the circulation of spiritual energy in Gu Lingling's body and assist her in her cultivation. When she mastered the breathing technique and became proficient in it, Lu Feng would take back the Hanxin Sword, but not at this moment.
Gu Lingling had no choice but to continue carrying it.
"You guys go back to the inn to heal your wounds first. I'll wait and see if anyone is following you," Lu Feng said, secretly escorting the two of them back.
As he watched Gu Lingling and the two approaching the inn, Lu Feng didn't feel anyone's presence. Apparently, although Yan Xinhui was seriously injured, he still escaped Li Gongping's pursuit.
Lu Feng took out the fox blindfold, his aura was restrained, and there was a terrible coldness in his eyes. The Black Demon Palace repeatedly made things difficult for him, first assassinating Fan Linlin, then tying up Jun Ziyi, and wounding Zhao Yan. If he didn't retaliate, I'm afraid the opponent would take advantage of him.
Before dawn, Lu Feng returned to the Soul Gate and found Gui Ling in the new Ye Yutang territory. The information that she had been asked to collect before and that her enemy was the Soul Guard of the Black Demon Palace had been sorted out. There were enough on the list.
More than twenty people.
Among them, there are only four lone soul guards, and the rest are either still training in the Bailian Spring and waiting to be selected, or have joined other halls.
"Wandering at night, the enemy is - the fat-headed butcher."
"Guixiao, the enemy is——She Qingshu."
"Flower whip, the enemy is——Yao Luodi."
"The phantom hand and the ghost sword, the enemy is——Li Gongping."
A smile appeared on Lu Feng's lips. He actually had an enemy who belonged to Li Gongping. It seemed that the soul guard codenamed "Phantom Hand Ghost Sword" really had some fate with him.
In addition to Li Gongping, another person named Lu Feng has also heard more than once that the elder of the Black Demon Palace who designed Guan Qiu to be captured in the spiritual prison was She Qingshu.
Gui Ling briefly introduced the information of several soul guards. Except for the soul guard codenamed Hua Bian, the other three were convinced and agreed to join Ye Yu Tang as long as they avenged them.
