Entertainment of Spring and Autumn

Chapter 521: Eternal Shadow

Compared to the leisurely atmosphere on Xue Mu's side, the atmosphere on Mo Xuexin's side was much more depressing. Several rescued elders stood beside them, all looking very sad and angry.

Xingyue branch helmsman Yan Yun gave them information: In the Qixuan Valley, more than 700 inner sect disciples were captured and more than 80 were killed; more than 40 people who were in charge of management were captured and died. Nine people, including four Taoist-level elders, were imprisoned.

Outer disciples and handyman disciples? Not considered human.

The Qixuan Valley is not like the Natural Sect that spreads all over the world, nor does it have as many followers as the Xuantian Sect Wujiu Temple. Their number is relatively small, similar to the Wenjian Sect. The outer sect may have many people, but the inner sect is important. There are only two to three thousand disciples in total. Excluding some, almost half were divided and half were captured and killed this time.

Most of the disciples who were captured and killed were the disciples and grandsons of the elders around Mo Xuexin, and there were even close descendants among them. Elder Yi, Elder Shen and others are actually still injured, but they can't sit still. Every day they come to ask Mo Xuexin: When will we counterattack?

Mo Xuexin could understand their anxious mood, so why wasn't she anxious? Among the people who were captured were her elders, friends, juniors, as well as apprentices and nephews who had given guidance but were not direct descendants. With so many people, how could she sit back and watch after spending twenty or thirty years together day and night?

But counterattack, how to counterattack?

Even Elder Shouding tilted his butt to the side of the rebels. With the assistance of Yun Qianhuang and Wandu Sect, the rebels were obviously stronger than the defeated generals like them. Except for her, Mo Xuexin, who could stir up some waves, others entered the valley to die. To put it another way, even if the strength can be compared, how can you fight with so many of your relatives in the opponent's hands? Weren't you threatened to have your hands cut behind your back when you went in?

"Everyone needs to recover from his injuries first, sharpen his swords and chop wood, and regain his combat strength before he can counterattack." Mo Xuexin sighed and said, "I have sent disciples to contact all comrades, and they will always be able to counterattack." If there are righteous people who are willing to help, if the top sect does not take action, the lower sects will also..."

Elder Shen seemed to have a bad temper and said loudly: "When will we go? All the disciples are dead!"

Mo Xuexin said helplessly: "They want to threaten you and me, they won't kill easily."

"Why did the Valley Master abandon the near and seek the far away?" Elder Na Yi couldn't help it anymore: "We sent out many people to contact our comrades, delaying the sun and the moon and not knowing the result, just waiting here aimlessly? Why don't you ask Manager Xue for help?"

Mo Xuexin was silent.

Elder Shen said: "Is the Valley Master worried that General Manager Xue also has another purpose? In my opinion, the lesser of two evils is the lesser of two evils. Even if General Manager Xue has other purposes, it is just for the tripod, or the Demon Sect wants to conquer this valley, so what? How about it? Even if we lead the crowd to seek refuge, it would be better than if all the disciples were captured and killed like this!"

Elder Yi also said: "Just for revenge, I will not hesitate to lead the wolf into the house! Valley Master no need to hesitate."

Zhu Chenyao stood aside silently. In fact, there were some things that these elders didn't know. Mo Xuexin was extremely beautiful and asked the leader of the Demon Sect for help. What would happen? They knew it well, but they avoided the topic and only talked about other things...

Whether it was to save their relatives and disciples, or to counterattack and regain their power, for various reasons combined, they didn't care at all whether Mo Xuexin had to sacrifice her life in exchange.

To put it more sadly, if Mo Xuexin was still unable to counterattack, these elders might switch sides for the sake of the safety of their loved ones.

The human heart is like this. There is no eternal loyalty and dedication. As a leader, you must consider the interests of everyone. If you blindly ask others to contribute, no matter how loyal people are, they may abandon you.

Mo Xuexin spoke slowly: "You really don't care about luring wolves into the house, and you will become the lackeys of the Demon Sect from now on?"

"I don't care." Another elder who had never spoken spoke up: "If it weren't for Xue Mu, we would have died long ago. Just to repay our kindness, it is only natural to obey his orders."

Elder Yi also said: "What's more, Xue Mu's behavior has never been so excessive. For example, he has not asked for anything when assisting the Sword Sect. Instead, he has given him clothes and gifts, showing his magnanimity. Why should the owner of the valley think so much of others? Too much?"

That's because Mu Jianli is his woman and she has feelings for her.

Mo Xuexin was silent. She didn't say this. There was no point in saying it. On the contrary, it seemed that she was selfish and didn't care about the life and death of everyone for the sake of that skin.

"Okay." Mo Xuexin finally whispered, "I'll go talk to Xue Mu."

…

Xue Mu is making medicine.

Using the body-building potion made from the bones of the Black Dragon King, the pseudo-black dragon body finally had the conditions to evolve.

This time, the Black Jiao King brought many black dragon corpses with it, and the theoretical benefits were not low. However, Xue Mu discovered something very strange: there were no black dragon beads in this batch of black dragons, not even the King Jiao, and the quality of the skin and flesh of the minions was inferior to that of the Black Jiao King. On the previous end, only the Jiao King was of similar quality to that end.

This may be the difference between artificial domestication and wild animals, and there is a difference in grade.

But no matter what, the black dragon's materials are considered treasures. Many things on the dragon king are useful for Qin Wuye and Ye Guying's level of cultivation, not to mention the little witches who share the helm. The Yunzhou branch is just like the Chinese New Year. Everywhere is practicing Fenjiao, and even the Six Paths allies have benefited from it, and they are full of joy.

While Xue Mu was making medicine, Qin Wuye was also looking for a place to practice, and accompanying him was Ye Guying.

Of course, the shadow dagger stuck in King Jiao's throat was taken out. Ye Guying played with the dagger and leaned on the edge of the bathtub with a smile, looking at Xue Mu's face twisted in pain from soaking in medicine, as if he was admiring some scenery. .

Ever since Xue Mu risked her life and death to fight for her hatred, Ye Guying's smile never stopped.

Xue Mu looked at Ye Guying's smile. The pain of brewing the medicine was no longer so painful. He smiled and said, "Don't you want to practice? There should be some materials that are suitable for you."

"It is very suitable. I have already taken it. There is no rush in practicing." Ye Guying smiled and said, "My mission is to protect you."

Xue Mu tilted his head to look at her, and Ye Guying looked at each other calmly.

Until there was something more in the eyes of the two people.

Xue Mu suddenly took out a necklace from the ring and handed it over: "This batch of black dragons does not have dragon beads. This thing is still a rarity."

"This thing..." Ye Guying weighed the dragon bead necklace and said with a smile: "I know your bodyguards have it on them. Do you really plan to treat me as a bodyguard?"

Xue Mu said slowly: "My woman has them all."

Seemingly teasing, Ye Guying showed no reaction and put it on herself with a smile: "Then you have too many women, so maybe you don't have enough to give away."

Xue Mu tentatively stretched out his hand from the tub and grabbed her wrist that was resting on the edge of the tub.

"It will also be good for you to bubble together."

"Your poison is not good for me..." Ye Guying said and was about to leave, but she felt a strong force coming from Xue Mu's hand. She did not resist and fell into the big bathtub.

Ye Guying turned her head out of the water, with a wet potion on her head and face. The potion exuded the heart-burning fragrance of black dragon poison, and messy water droplets slowly dripped on her cheeks. There is no longer any gloominess or indifference between the eyes, and the charm is filled with spring water.

Xue Mu hugged her hard, lowered his head and kissed her.

Ye Guying hugged him back and closed his eyes.

The two lips met, Ye Guying trembled, and soon responded more enthusiastically.

"I know you are uneasy and kind to me... You forced me to watch a play, or you swapped roles... It's all because of that." Ye Guying murmured: "Originally, I was also thinking about you. I don’t hate it... One day when I enjoy watching a movie, it’s no big deal to hang out with you... I know that’s what you think, that’s a little bit of potential.”

Xue Mu's kiss slowly stopped and he whispered: "I'm more than that."

"I know... you are willing to risk your life for me to attract King Jiao's attention and almost die. I know it." Ye Guying clasped his back hard with her delicate hands, so fiercely that he almost pinched the blood: "I have been in the shadows all my life. I have always been wandering between killing and being killed, and I have never thought that there is a man willing to die for me. Xue Mu, you win, no matter what you thought at the time, I am willing to give you everything."

"The Wuhendao assassin lives only for his mission in his life. But from that moment on, I only live for you and will always be your shadow."
