Xu You was stunned for a moment, but instead of thinking too much, he speeded up.
"Wait, take me with you." Suddenly, a woman's voice called hurriedly from behind.
Xu You looked back and saw that the injured eldest daughter of the Lu family, Lu Xinyan, was following him again.
There was a look of shock in her eyes, obviously she was surprised that Xu You, a mortal, could kill Ling Xiu.
Xu You ignored her, didn't stop, and continued running wildly.
If he hadn't been afraid that this woman was also a spiritual practitioner and he was anxious to escape, Xu You would have been unable to bear the pain and killed her.
If it weren't for the Beihai crossbow, he would probably have died in the hands of the middle-aged spiritual cultivator in yellow just now. This was all thanks to this woman.
"Whether I said what I just said or not, he will kill you to silence me. Pursuing me is a shameful thing. If you kill him now, you will offend the Chang family of the spiritual cultivation family. The best way is to help me."
Lu Xinyan said loudly behind him.
Xu You's heart was shaken, but he didn't stop.
However, although Lu Xinyan was injured, her speed was not slow and she quickly caught up with him and kept pace with him.
"Go away." Xu You said coldly, secretly holding the Beihai crossbow with his right hand.
"I know it's wrong to involve you, but I can't help it. Although he was killed by you, there are still two spiritual cultivators chasing me." Lu Xinyan explained hurriedly, "My spiritual power will soon be exhausted, and I will be injured again."
I'm injured, if you don't help me, it will be difficult for me to escape."
"You almost killed me, and I still want to help you?" Xu You said expressionlessly, "Get out of here, otherwise I won't be polite."
"If you help me, I will repay you." Lu Xinyan bit her snow-white teeth, with a hint of hint in her tone, her beautiful eyes flashed, and her beautiful face looked pitiful.
Xu You sneered: "Don't follow me, this is the best reward for me."
Lu Xinyan felt resentment in her heart and her tone became colder: "You just killed that spiritual cultivator, the Chang family will not let you go."
Xu Youdao: "Their target is you, I have my own way to get rid of tracking."
Lu Xinyan said coldly: "If they catch me, I will tell you who killed them. I remember your appearance. They will definitely find you as soon as possible and kill you to silence you. The power of spiritual cultivation is not
You, a mere mortal, can resist this."
"Are you threatening me?" Xu You stopped abruptly, his face ashen.
Lu Xinyan also stopped: "I'm just reminding you, whether you want it or not, we are all grasshoppers tied to the same rope now. If you help me, you are helping yourself. Otherwise, I won't survive, and you can't stay out of it.
"
Xu You gritted his teeth and was about to extend his right fist when Lu Xinyan took a few steps back and hid behind a big tree.
"I saw you kill that spiritual cultivator, so don't try to kill me with the same method. Although I only have a little residual spiritual power left, it is more than enough to deal with you. If you want to kill us, we will die together." She said coldly.
Xu You's expression changed drastically. This woman was very scheming and good at taking advantage of others, which was rare in his life.
"If you help me, I will give you everything you want, money, women, martial arts, career, make you a master, and even make you a spiritual practitioner, with power that mortals cannot have."
Seeing the change in his expression, Lu Xinyan immediately changed her tone and said, her words showing both kindness and power.
Spiritual practice... Xu You was shocked. Lu Xinyan's words hit the deepest part of his heart.
In the past three years, he has never wanted to become a practitioner, not only because he longed for the magical power of practitioners, but also because of his sister's words.
Only by becoming spiritual and breaking the void can he possibly return home.
It has been three years since he passed from earth to the spirit world. Mom and Dad, I really miss you... Xu You felt sad.
"Why are you looking for me? I'm just a mortal." He quickly adjusted his emotions and decided to compromise temporarily.
"It is precisely because you are a mortal, but you can kill spiritual cultivators, that's why I want your help." Lu Xinyan said.
"I can help you, but there are conditions. You must teach me spiritual cultivation techniques." Xu You said quickly.
"No problem, if you think it's okay, I'll pass it on to you now." Lu Xinyan did not hesitate.
"Escape first. Someone is catching up." Xu You's ears twitched, and he faintly heard a slight vibration in the forest on the way. His face changed, and he ran forward.
Lu Xinyan quickly followed him: "Our speed is not as fast as theirs, and we will be overtaken sooner or later. What can you do?"
"I'm quite familiar with this forest." Xu You's face was solemn but very calm: "There is a three-way intersection ahead. Let's rush there as soon as possible, but I need some time to arrange it."
"Tell me the direction. I still have some spiritual power and can use the magic technique, but after that, I can no longer use my spiritual power." Lu Xinyan said decisively, and suddenly grabbed Xu You by the back of his neck and lifted him up in the air.
.
She is tall and slender, but she grabs Xu You effortlessly. She uses her jade hands to pinch her spirit and uses her feet to run forward.
Xu You suddenly felt the whistling wind, and the trees on both sides swept back like a fast-moving camera.
He was shocked at such a fast speed and had an intuitive feeling of the power of spiritual practice.
"Go left...right...go straight." Although he was shocked, Xu You did not forget his duty and pointed Lu Xinyan's direction based on the route he remembered.
After a while, Lu Xinyan came to the three-way intersection and put him down, her face turned very pale.
Xu You glanced at her imperceptibly, feeling a little undecided. Should he attack her by surprise now and then escape immediately? Or should he continue to help her escape.
However, this woman was very scheming. She said she could no longer use her spiritual power, but she couldn't believe it. She might be secretly guarding herself.
Thinking of the spiritual cultivation techniques, Xu You sighed secretly and gave up his complicated thoughts.
He took out his dagger, cut his palm, and then ran all the way, dripping blood far away on the left side of the road.
After a while, he turned back and walked to the middle fork in the road. He quickly laid out some subtle traces and then led Lu Xinyan into the right fork in the road. After walking a few dozen meters, he hid behind a large tree with thick leaves.
Lu Xinyan didn't know what he was doing, but she was very knowledgeable and didn't ask.
A moment later, two men with gloomy faces appeared at the fork in the road, wearing the same light yellow clothes as the spiritual cultivator who was killed by Xu You. One was tall and thin, and the other was short and lean.
"Her breath was not far away. Someone must have helped her, otherwise she was seriously injured and her spiritual power was exhausted. It would be impossible to kill Chang Shan." The tall and thin man looked at the three forks in the road with sinister eyes.
The capable man noticed the fork in the road on the left: "There is blood here. She must have been injured and fell down. Let's chase her."
The two of them didn't think much and immediately ran along the left fork.
Behind the big tree, Lu Xinyan couldn't help but move, but Xu You held her shoulders and motioned her to continue waiting.
After dozens of breaths, the two men left and returned.
"Damn, after chasing for a while, the blood disappeared. They must have taken another side road." The tall and thin man was a little angry.
"It's the middle road. There are some traces here that are difficult for others to notice. They should be their footprints." The capable man carefully looked at the intersection between the right and the middle and said with certainty.
"Chase!" The two of them followed the fork in the middle and chased.
"Let's take the fork on the left." After the two of them were far away, Xu You immediately stood up, and he and Lu Xinyan quickly walked to the fork on the left and started running.
"If they find that there are no traces of the road in the middle, will they also return?" Lu Xinyan asked.
"These two people have little experience. Even if they come back, they will choose the third way." Xu You shook his head.
The two of them ran to the end of the fork on the left until a small town appeared in front of them, but the two men did not catch up.
"It seems you are right." Lu Xinyan finally breathed a sigh of relief.
"We are not out of danger yet." Xu You said, "I remember there is only this small town within a hundred miles. If they can't catch us, they will definitely come here to intercept us."
"We can hire a carriage and leave. A few hundred miles west is my branch hall. Once we get there, we will be completely safe." Lu Xinyan said.
Xu You didn't say anything but glanced at her: "Your appearance is too conspicuous. It's best to disguise yourself so that you won't be easily recognized."
He took out a small bottle from his arms and poured it into his hand. Suddenly there was some transparent liquid that looked like facial glue.
"It's a bit itchy. It's best if you endure it a little longer and keep an expressionless face." Xu You said, dipped in facial gel and wiped it on her snow-white face.
"Do you know how to disguise yourself?" Lu Xinyan closed her eyes, quite curious.
Xu You didn't say anything, he just concentrated on it and kept his hands on it.
"That's enough." After a moment, he said calmly.
Lu Xinyan opened her eyes, took out a small mirror from her arms, looked at it, and couldn't help but be stunned.
In the mirror, her stunning face was completely covered up, and she looked like a strange woman with an average appearance that even she herself could not recognize, but she was so natural, with almost no flaws.
"Your disguise skills are almost as good as the spiritual skills of changing one's appearance in the soul realm." Lu Xinyan praised.
Xu You's heart moved: "Is the Soul Realm very powerful? How is it compared to you?"
"A hundred times more powerful than me." Lu Xinyan exclaimed, "Spiritual body realm, spiritual artistic realm, and soul realm are the first three realms of spiritual cultivation. Each realm is divided into early stage, middle stage and late stage. I am only in the early stage of spiritual body.
I don’t know how much worse than the soul realm. The spiritual cultivator you killed was also in the early stage of spiritual body, otherwise you would have no chance at all."
"Can the soul realm break the void?" Xu You's heart tightened and he asked the question he was most concerned about.
"I don't know." Lu Xinyan shook her head and said, "But it shouldn't be possible. Shattering the Void is such a powerful force. At least I haven't heard of any spiritual practice that can do it."
Xu You was silent, the way home... was very long.
Lu Xinyan bandaged the wound, cleaned off the blood stains, then found a place to change into ordinary women's clothes, and hurried to the only carriage house in town with Xu You.
Suddenly, Xu You paused, and in front of the carriage, two men in yellow clothes with cold expressions were guarding him.
Seeing Xu You and Lu Xinyan approaching, their eyes also turned towards them.;
