"You take the clansman to escape, and I will lure him away."

Facing his duplicate body was easier than letting him explain the ins and outs to a group of glaring Bailings. Jing Xuan secretly heaved a sigh of relief, calmly patted Xie Ran on the shoulder, and flew out of the basement first.

Xie Ran hesitated to speak, and finally turned his head to look at his clansmen: "I will take you out first."

"But he...?" A lark pointed in the direction where Jing Xuan left.

The situation was urgent, Xie Ran didn't have time to explain so much, he could only briefly say "there are two ghost kings", and then flew out with his clansmen.

The sound of collisions and cracks has been heard one after another in the test room. From the sound, the situation of the battle is anxious.

Xie Ran is concerned about Jingxuan's safety, but he must send the clansmen out first: "Follow me closely, don't fall behind!"

A group of larks flew out of the basement, passed through a messy room, and carefully avoided the explosion caused by the collision of Yin Qi.

Bailing possesses both the elegance of ghosts and the elegance of Qingluan. When they fly in formation, the shadows and fireflies are reflected, which can be called a scene in the ghost world.

...Although it was only once.

But today, they are flying together again.

"Fly forward, follow the fire." Xie Ran ignited a cluster of flames and let it float in the direction he came from, "Go to Qingluan's territory!"

"Qingluan territory?" Xiaobing flew to his side, "Ran Ran, the clansmen are already very weak, if they fly to Qingluan territory, what will they do if they don't accept us? And...and how can we go to heaven!"

The heavens are full of yang energy, and Bai Ling will only feel uncomfortable if he goes there.

"My mother and the others live at the junction of the heaven and the ghost world, I just came from there." Xie Ran said, "I don't have time to explain now, as long as everyone trusts me—be careful!"

These larks were locked in the basement to keep making fire, and their physical strength could not be the same as before.A few larks who were originally in poor health flew slowly, but the fake ghost king caught the opportunity and slapped them: "Dare you escape? Let me see where you are fleeing!"

Jing Xuan hadn't fully recovered, and was far away, seeing that it was too late to rescue, Xie Ran had no choice but to fly backwards by himself, hoping to catch up and block the attack of the fake ghost king for the clansmen.

He plunged into the black palm wind, and the blue flame rose three feet high.

"Go! Follow the fire!" He knocked away the birds who were almost hit, and drove them towards the direction of the clansman who had already taken a step forward.

Blue and black collided silently, enveloping Xie Ran completely.

boom--! ! !

"Thank you for burning!!"

Jing Xuan's heart-piercing roar came from a far away place, Xie Ran only felt a dazzling blue burst in front of his eyes, and after that, he didn't know anything.

……

"Xie Ran, Xie Ran?"

After an unknown amount of time, a soft call came from Xie Ran's ear.

In a daze, the calling continued and gradually amplified until it was so noisy that he could no longer sleep, Xie Ran finally decided to wake up.

He felt very tired, his whole body was sore from the bones, his eyelids were heavy, and it took a lot of effort to finally open a crack.

The eyes are dark and rugged stone walls, and the air is shady.

He opened his eyes a little wider, and finally realized that he was lying in a place similar to a cave.

"Xie Ran?" Jing Xuan was beside him, and handed something over, "Are you awake?"

The familiar Yin Qi seeped in from Xie Ran's dry lips, and the injured body instinctively drew strength.

After a while, he finally felt that he had the strength to speak: "This is... where?"

Jing Xuan opened his mouth to report a place name, Xie Ran thought about it, this place is probably on the edge of the ghost world.

"What's wrong with me? Oh yes, my pendant..."

When the memory came back, Xie Ran's first reaction was to look at his chest, but he just raised his head before falling back, "Hiss...it hurts..."

Every bone in my body hurts.

Like falling apart.

"Be careful," Jing Xuan pressed him lightly as if afraid of hurting him, "What do you want? I'll get it for you."

"Where's my pendant?"

"Do you have a pendant on you?" Jing Xuan was taken aback for a moment, but quickly realized, "The one that exploded earlier was your pendant, right?"

"Huh?" Xie Ran was stunned.

In this way, he did see the blue light before he passed out.

"...Could it be that the pendant given by grandpa seals the Heavenly Sun Real Fire?"

This makes sense, the real fire of Tianyang is cyan, it belongs to fire and yang, it is blazing hot, and its lethality to the creatures in the ghost world is not small.

Xie Ran himself was also burned by the Tianyang True Fire that was so close. Fortunately, he has half of the Qingluan bloodline on his body.

"Your grandfather? The Qingluan family... That makes sense." Jing Xuan pursed his lips, "But... don't do such dangerous things in the future."

Xie Ran was still immersed in the thoughts of Grandpa and Zhuizi, and couldn't hear clearly for a while: "What?"

The only movable eyeball in the whole body moved to the direction where Jing Xuan was, and saw a gloomy face unexpectedly.

"I said..." Jing Xuan took a deep breath, "Don't do such dangerous things again in the future."

"What dangerous thing?" Xie Ran was puzzled, "Why do you seem to be..." very angry?

He couldn't ask further, because Jing Xuan's hand suddenly touched his forehead, and brushed away a handful of debris that fell on his cheek for him.

Xie Ran's eyelids suddenly jumped.

"Why do you want to block it? What if... I mean, what if you didn't bring that pendant and failed to block... what should we do?" Jing Xuan looked at him deeply, "You were also injured back then. Did you just leave the ghost world?"

"I didn't think about it so much at the time, besides, it's better for me to block than let the clansmen take that palm... right..."

Xie Ran's voice became smaller and smaller under Jing Xuan's gaze.

For some reason, he felt a little guilty.

Xie Ran blinked and tried to change the topic: "Then what happened to the fake, did you get hurt? What about you?"

"I'm fine, but the puppet was seriously injured, but I was in a hurry to rescue you, but I couldn't take him down." Jing Xuan lowered his eyes, "Let's not talk about this, you should rest first, and wait for your recovery Let's think about how to solve the puppet."

"……it is good."

Xie Ran was stunned for a moment, not understanding why Jing Xuan was in such a hurry to end the topic.

He watched the other party leave, and wanted to ask more questions, but at this moment, his body ached.

The burn hurts one after another, and it will come back when it is uncertain. When it is not painful, Xie Ran can still speak a few words normally, but when it hurts, he can only grit his teeth and get over it.

Jing Xuan, who dodged to leave the cave, frowned and leaned against the mountain wall, coughing in a muffled voice.

He lied to Xie Ran - Tianyang Zhenhuo is so domineering, even the puppet he made himself was injured, how could he be unaffected if he has not fully recovered.

"I still have to steal the key back..." He endured the sharp pain, wiped the cold sweat from his forehead, and whispered to himself.

When Jing Xuan returned to the cave, he found that Xie Ran was about to pass out from the pain, with cold sweat pouring out layer after layer on his forehead.

In terms of strength, Xie Ran was not as good as Jing Xuan. In addition, the real fire was hanging on Xie Ran's neck at that time, and the distance was too close. Even with half of Qingluan's blood as a buffer, the pain was still excruciating.

Jing Xuan knew what it was like, but this injury could only wait for Xie Ran to heal himself, no matter how much he felt sorry for him, he couldn't replace his pain, so he had to bring a bucket of Yinquan from outside, and wipe off the bruises on Xie Ran's head. sweat.

In this way, half a day passed.

At night, Xie Ran, who finally regained his strength, remembered what he wanted to ask: "By the way...then do you know, have all my clansmen gone back?"

Jing Xuan touched his forehead: "It's all burned like this, and you still miss the clansmen? I didn't have time to see it, wait for me..." He paused, "I'll rush to take a look when you feel better."

Xie Ran didn't understand the meaning of the pause in his words, said "OK", but soon felt something wrong: "No, they still misunderstood you, I'd better wait until I feel better, I'll go and see for myself."

"That's fine." Jing Xuan pressed his chest silently and took a deep breath.

Fortunately, the cave is pitch black, even though Xie Ranye has good vision, he probably doesn't have the heart to watch his movements right now.

After a while of pain relief, Jing Xuan took off his hand as usual, and stretched the broken wrist to Xie Ran's mouth.

Now that Xie Ran still had strength, he planned to refuse, but was held down by Jing Xuan.

What he said made sense: "I am a ghost, and I can absorb the yin energy of the world faster than you. If you want to get better soon, don't refuse."

"...Okay." Xie Ran accepted this statement, and opened his mouth to the severed wrist in the darkness.After taking two puffs, he stopped again and said softly, "Jing Xuan, thank you."

"It's okay." Jing Xuan said indifferently.

"It was you who used to come to the Bailing Territory back then, right?" Xie Ran said suddenly.

Jing Xuan was stunned for a moment, and then smiled: "It should be...? I haven't fully remembered that part of the memory, and I will give you an accurate answer when I remember it."

"Forget it." Xie Ran said, "Whether it is or not, we are already friends now, right?"

"Then I have to thank you for treating me as a 'friend'," Jing Xuan said, "after all, I have thought so for a long time."

This sentence sounds a bit like a complaint.

But at this time it was dark everywhere, and there was an echo in the cave, so Jing Xuan's lowered voice had an inexplicably coquettish effect.

Xie Ran pursed his lips, didn't say anything, and opened his mouth to grab Jing Xuan's wrist.

Yin Qi flowed out of Jing Xuan's body, and then flowed into Xie Ran's body through the mouth.

For creatures in the ghost world, Yin Qi is nourishment, and the Yin Qi that has entered the body continuously nourishes Xie Ran's body and repairs his burns.

After a long time, Xie Ran felt a burst of satiety after a full meal, he let go of Jing Xuan's hand: "Hi... I seem to be... full of food."

Jing Xuan took his hand back and touched his forehead: "It seems to be hotter."

Xie Ran gave a soft "hmm": "I'm a little hot..." He slowly closed his eyes, "I'm sleepy..."

"Then go to sleep." Jing Xuan stretched out his long arms, and a thin quilt made of Yin Qi appeared in his hands, he covered Xie Ran, tucked the corners of the quilt, and whispered in his ear, "Good night. "

"Good night……"

Silence returned to the cave.

Jing Xuan was about to stand up, but suddenly felt dizzy, and he slammed on the stone bed.

But even so, he still took special care not to touch Xie Ran in the blink of an eye.

He didn't really want Xie Ran to know his physical condition.

After the dizziness passed, Jing Xuan came out of the cave.

This stretch of mountains is in the northwest corner of the ghost world, connected to a natural Yin spring, surrounded by perennial mist, making this area more like a maze.

When Jing Xuan was still the king of ghosts, he especially liked to come here to soak in the Yin spring, and apart from him, there were not many ghosts in the whole ghost world who were able to come here and retreat in the natural formation. of.

He was betting that the fake ghost king would not come.

After leaving the cave, he turned left and right, and came to an open area.

The cold and damp air suddenly rushed over.

In front of him was a spring full of water, wide open, such a blunt coldness was actually a tonic for Jing Xuan. He jumped down from the spring, submerged his whole body in the water, greedily absorbing the water. Yin Qi.

He soaked overnight.

It wasn't until dawn that Jing Xuan came out of the water, ready to go back to the cave.

The water droplets all over his body evaporated quickly as he walked, and when he arrived in front of the cave, there was no dampness at all.

Jing Xuan entered the cave, walked in along the path he walked when he came out, and finally stopped at the entrance of the stone cave where Xie Ran was resting.

He saw a group of soft "cotton balls" blocking the hole, and a... claw protruded from the "cotton balls".

Jing Xuan quickly realized what it was.

That's Xie Ran's...bird leg.

"Xie Ran?" He tried to call out, "Are you awake?"
