Xu Zirong's expression softened, he embraced his brother's shoulders, and kissed Xu Ziyan's cheek: "Don't worry, I will definitely protect my brother."

Xu Ziyan snorted: "I'm not a woman, I still need other people's protection!"

Xu Zirong smiled softly, and said in a low voice: "Of course I know that my brother is not a woman, but I am willing to protect my brother because he is my lover, and it has nothing to do with your gender."

Xu Ziyan's face turned red, and he ruffled Xu Zirong's hair forcefully: "Okay, stop talking sweet words, first take out the mask you made last time, this damn dragon pattern is too annoying to hang on your face gone."

Xu Zirong stuck out his bright red tongue and licked his lips, and said with a little regret: "Actually, my brother's dragon pattern is very beautiful..." Noticing Xu Ziyan's unfriendly eyes, he immediately changed his words: "But as long as I see my brother's charming appearance That's fine, other people don't deserve to appreciate it!"

Xu Ziyan rolled his eyes helplessly, took the golden mask from Xu Zirong's hand and put it on his face, turned around and took out another identical silver mask from nowhere, raised his hand to put it on Xu Zirong, and said while putting it on, "Your mask Your face is already attractive, for the sake of world peace, you should cover it too!"

Xu Zirong: ...

"If my brother doesn't like others to see my face, how about I cover it up?" Xu Zirong asked with a low smile.

Xu Ziyan put on a blank face, and retorted with slightly red ears: "I'm afraid that you will be seen by others, and you will attract some crazy bees and butterflies. I will waste time dealing with it!"

Xu Zirong smiled and said nothing, but looked at Xu Ziyan with surprisingly gentle eyes.

The two stayed in the mountain hut for a while, and then took the cloud-piercing boat that Luo Dazuo kindly provided, but it took three days to arrive at the meeting point.

Coincidentally, the meeting place for their trip turned out to be the Xuanjia Gate that Lao Liu and the others mentioned before, and because this Xuanjia Gate is located on the edge of the blood-sucking insect control area in the central area, it has become a place for human monks to fight against blood-sucking insects. Of course, this first line is not the only one. In fact, because the blood-sucking worms have three areas, and the other two areas are located in the east and south of the Xuanyu area, the blood-sucking worms in those two areas Because of the continuous blows from the monks, the past two years have begun to show signs of decline, and even many areas that were once charged have been taken back by the monks.

Only the blood-sucking worms in the middle area, because of unknowable changes, not only did not have the desired effect of the monks' attack, but because of this sudden change, many monks were trapped in it.

The Xuanjia Sect was originally only a medium-sized sect, and the sect was considered to have a strong foundation, about hundreds of years of inheritance, but in the past few years, by continuously absorbing those disciples who escaped after being wiped out by the blood-sucking insects, the sect continued to expand. It is a trend to develop into a large sect.

At the same time, because the Xuanjiamen is located at the key point, and like a nail, it firmly curbs the spread of blood-sucking insects in the central area, so the senior members of the monk alliance also have a lot of support for this sect, sending some proficient in the formation The monks of Xuanjiamen rebuilt the mountain guard array of Xuanjiamen, and also supported a large amount of supplies.

After obtaining those materials, Xuanjiamen's strength began to expand again, and it seemed to become a bridgehead against blood-sucking insects.

However, with the improvement of strength, some senior officials of Xuanjiamen began to be dissatisfied with their position in the monk alliance. On the surface, they may not express anything, but secretly, there is an undercurrent slowly flowing...

***

"Ahead is the Xuanjiamen's mountain guard array?" Xu Ziyan stood on the bow of the Yunchuan boat, looking at the huge protective shield covering the entire Xuanjia Mountain and said softly.

Xu Zirong stood beside him, looked at him for a while, and nodded: "This large formation incorporates the entire mountain of Xuanjia Mountain. As long as there are enough spirit stones, it will not be easily breached. People who set up a large formation, for the formation Law research has reached an extremely high level."

"Oh? How is it better than you?" Xu Ziyan raised his eyebrows and asked.

"The specializations are different, so they cannot be compared." Xu Zirong smiled faintly.Most of the time he learned the magic circle was to fight against the enemy, so he was looking for a faster and more convenient way to kill the enemy.

However, this mountain protection formation is mainly defensive. The two are completely different research directions, so naturally they cannot be compared.

"Hmm." Xu Ziyan nodded, but he looked at the mountain protection formation with a touch of doubt: the mountain protection formation consumes a lot of energy, and it should be activated when an enemy attacks. There is still some distance to the front line, so why did you suddenly activate the mountain protection array?Did something happen these days?

While thinking about this problem, he controlled the cloud piercing boat to fall down.

Before he landed on the ground, several figures had already pierced through the protective cover of the formation, looking at Xu Ziyan and the others vigilantly, and the leader of the cultivator in Tsing Yi shouted loudly: "Who is here?"

"Disciple of the Liuguang Sect, I have a mission." Xu Ziyan raised his hand and threw out his identity jade pendant to show his identity.

"Liuguangzong?" The expression of the monk in Tsing Yi changed slightly, but he soon returned to normal. He looked at Xu Ziyan and Xu Zirong who were wearing masks and cupped their hands, and asked with some disdain: "Could it be that you two Is it to carry out that exploration mission?"

"Huh?" The change of expression on the face of the cultivator in Tsing Yi did not escape Xu Ziyan's eyes, but he did not understand why the other party had such a change when he heard the words Liu Guangzong.

Moreover, the exploration mission they carried out this time is considered secret. How did this monk in Tsing Yi know?

He narrowed his eyes slightly, and his sharp eyes fell directly on the monk in blue.

The monk in blue suddenly felt his body sink, and a strong pressure came from all directions, as if to squeeze him into pieces.

"How did you know about our mission?" Xu Ziyan asked coldly.

There were beads of sweat on the monk's head, and there was a little fear in his eyes. It seemed that he realized at this time that the man in front of him was an elite disciple sent by the Liuguang Sect. But it is the real golden core period.

He is only at the pulse condensing stage, and even his master is only at the late stage of Golden Core, so what right does he have to show off in front of other Golden Core cultivators?

At this moment, the disdain for Liuguangzong that arose due to the rising status of Xuanjiamen disappeared instantly...

"Senior...Please invite Rong Bing..." Under the tremendous pressure, the monk in blue explained to Xu Ziyan with a pale face: "This junior didn't intend to show off mysteries, but the exploration team sent by my Xuanjia Sect the day before yesterday has returned. Yes, and I also learned the reason for the evolution of the blood-sucking worm. It happened that some disciples of the Tianyu Sect also arrived here yesterday. They were very surprised to learn that the task had been completed, but after confirming the news brought back by my disciples, Then I made this mission public, and also mentioned that there will be disciples of the Liuguang Sect going to explore together in the near future."

"Huh? Finished?" Xu Ziyan looked at him slightly surprised.

The man in Tsing Yi noticed that the pressure coming from all directions was decreasing, he quickly wiped the sweat from his brow, and said respectfully: "Yes, senior, that task has been completed by my disciples from the Xuanjia Sect. Although my disciples also suffered heavy losses, they finally fulfilled their mission and found out the reason that caused the blood-sucking worm to mutate." At the end of the speech, the monk in Tsing Yi was somewhat proud.

"Well... Anyway, let's go and have a look first." Xu Zirong whispered in Xu Ziyan's ear.

Xu Ziyan nodded, then turned to look at the man in Tsing Yi: "Lead the way, since we came here with a mission, we have to know the final result no matter what."

The man in Tsing Yi bowed: "I also invite seniors to come with me."

Xu Ziyan hummed and followed behind the man in Tsing Yi, following him into the range of the mountain protection formation.

When passing through the mountain guard formation, Xu Ziyan vaguely felt a majestic aura sweeping over him. He knew that it was the Nascent Soul cultivator stationed at Xuanjiamen who was investigating. Added a few points.

What happened to Xuanjiamen?How could the whole sect be so jittery, and even the Nascent Soul cultivator was so nervous that someone had to go through the mountain guard formation to investigate?

With such doubts, Xu Ziyan followed the green-clothed monk and slowly landed on a hilltop of Xuanjiamen. Above the hill was an extremely wide courtyard with a dense atmosphere, as if it was a monk's residence.

"Senior, please wait again, wait for me to report to the head, and then take senior to the Hall of Rewards and Punishments." The man in Tsing Yi saluted, turned and left.

Xu Ziyan and Xu Zirong were left behind and looked at each other, both feeling that something was wrong.

"Hmph, let's see what the Xuanjia Sect is up to first." Xu Zirong smiled coldly. Bai Hua was enough to make him very unhappy.

"Well, don't worry, I also think that the things inside are not simple, and what may have happened to the Xuanjia Gate in the past two days, otherwise the mountain guard formation will not be easily opened."
