Evil Master and Disciple

At the same time, about two hundred miles south of the capital.

This is a hilly area. The hills are not big and the peaks are not high, but the range is very wide, stretching for twenty or thirty miles.

But what is strange is that there is hardly a tree on this mountain.

There is a thick layer of white snow on the mountain.

The reason why there are no trees is not because the soil of this hill is not suitable for growing trees.

But it can't grow.

In this world, besides money, there is another hard currency, which is wood.

To the people of this world, wood is almost like oil to Ye Feng in his previous life.

Without gas, to feed so many people, the amount of wood used for cooking in the world every day would be an astronomical figure.

Especially in winter, the rate of consumption of wood and charcoal is even more alarming.

Unless it is some deep mountains and old forests far away from big cities, in any county town with a population of tens of thousands, the hills within a radius of ten miles are absolutely bare.

Although the imperial court issued an express ban on the people from cutting down these woods, the people needed firewood to cook and keep warm, so who cared about the imperial court's ban?

Before winter comes every year, the mountains and forests around major cities become almost bare.

At this moment, three people were standing on the top of the highest hill in this area.

They are Dugu Chan, Su Xiaoli and Zhang Qingyun.

In Su Xiaoli's arms, he was holding the little green-haired Sanzhier.

Su Xiaoli looked at the night sky and said, "Old Chan, do you think that Li Ruoxi will enter the capital from this direction? Don't get the wrong place and end up with nothing."

Dugu Chan said calmly, "When did I miss it?"

Su Xiaoli smiled softly, punched Dugu Chan's shoulder lightly with her fist, and said with a smile: "I like your confident look."

Zhang Qingyun coughed lightly twice and said, "Miss Xiaoli, I am actually quite confident."

Su Xiaoli rolled her eyes at Zhang Qingyun and said, "You're too thin. You're not my type."

As the two were talking, Dugu Chan suddenly narrowed his eyes and said, "They are coming."

The two of them immediately stretched their heads to look, but they didn't see anyone passing by in the night sky.

Dugu Chan gently waved the slender bamboo stick in his hand, and a faint light burst out from the slender bamboo stick, as if tearing through the space and instantly disappeared into the night.

Li Ruoxi, Jinghui Shenni and Xuanjizi, who were rushing towards the capital, suddenly stopped in mid-air.

At this moment, they were at least forty miles away from the hill where Dugu Chan and others were standing.

The reason why the three Tianzhi Realm warriors stopped was that they simultaneously felt an extremely powerful force coming towards them at a terrifying speed.

This force is like a long, thin wave, distorting space wherever it passes.

Xuanjizi's eyes flashed, and the magic sword in his hand slashed down in the air.

The two sword beams collided, and a powerful energy wave immediately erupted.

The two sword beams completely dissipated.

Xuanjizi's spiritual consciousness and mental power instantly opened up, trying to find the person who attacked.

However, his divine sense covered an area of ​​twenty to thirty miles, but he did not find the existence of the master.

Xuanjizi frowned slightly and said, "This sword energy can actually cause spatial fluctuations. It is definitely not an easy opponent. Why can't my spiritual sense sense the other party's presence?"

Li Ruoxi's expression suddenly turned grim. She said solemnly, "Is the other party beyond your spiritual sense's detection?"

"What? How is that possible! I've already entered the Heaven's End Realm, and I think the range of my spiritual awareness is already very wide. Could the other party also be a powerful person in the Heaven's End Realm?"

Li Ruoxi said with a serious expression, "Even within the Heaven's End Realm, there are different levels, and the gap is huge. I know who the other party is. He doesn't want us to enter the capital. I didn't expect that my last handwritten letter failed to dissuade him from coming to the capital, and he finally came."

More than sixty years ago, Li Ruoxi fought against Dugu Chan.

She immediately understood that the person who had just activated this sword energy from dozens of miles away must be Dugu Chan.

This made Li Ruoxi feel very uneasy.

Before fighting with Dugu Chan, she had never been afraid of any strong man in this world.

She herself is at the Heaven's End Realm, and her talent is much higher than Zhang Qingyun's. Her cultivation and combat power surpass Zhang Qingyun's.

She has lived for more than two thousand years and thinks she is the best in the world.

But in front of Dugu Chan, all her confidence and pride were shattered by him.

But back then, Dugu Chan only used a bamboo sword.

She knew that Dugu Chan and Zhang Qingyun were friends. This time, in order to prevent Dugu Chan from interfering in the feud between her and Zhang Qingyun, she wrote a letter to inform them of the origins of these people. This was her biggest secret.

She thought this would prevent Dugu Chan from coming to the capital.

Unfortunately, the plan did not succeed.

In fact, Li Ruoxi had also made thorough preparations, mobilizing dozens of celestial beings and masters of the Void Transformation Realm to enter the capital secretly.

At the same time, he also invited Jinghui Shen Ni and Xuanjizi, who were also from Tianzhi Realm, to come and help, just in case.

However, these so-called perfect preparations she had made made Li Ruoxi feel very uncertain the moment she confirmed that Dugu Chan had come to the capital.

More than sixty years ago, she witnessed with her own eyes how the thirty or so masters she led were killed by the almost childish bamboo sword in Dugu Chan's hand.

Although Li Ruoxi was afraid, she did not retreat.

Now that we are here, we should meet each other.

Li Ruoxi looked towards the distant north. She took a deep breath and said, "The other party is waiting for us up ahead. Let's go and take a look."

Nun Jinghui said slowly, "The capital is just ahead. We'll be there soon. Envoy Bai and the others are in a precarious situation. If we stay here, I'm afraid..."

Li Ruoxi gently waved her hand to interrupt Jinghui Shenni. She slowly said, "If he doesn't want us to enter the capital, then the three of us can't enter. That sword strike just now was just a warning from him, not a strong killing intent. Let's go and see what his purpose is."

Li Ruoxi knew very well that if Dugu Chan did not give way, the three of them would not be able to get through.

Now Li Ruoxi is extremely worried about the war at Tianya Silk Shop in the capital, but she can do nothing but face the most powerful man in the world.

Seeing Li Ruoxi's slightly frightened eyes, Xuanjizi and Jinghui Shenni were both slightly startled.

They have known Li Ruoxi for many years, and this woman has always maintained a confidence and pride that is difficult for ordinary people to understand.

And now, the opponent just released a sword energy, which seemed to completely shatter all the pride in Li Ruoxi.

Even Li Ruoxi, who had reached the sky's end for many years, had an uncontrollable fear in her eyes.

Both of them wanted to ask the other who they were, but Li Ruoxi had already flown forward.

The two looked at each other and could only follow.

They also wanted to see who the other party was.
