"Thank you sister!"
Xiao Huan took it and expressed her gratitude.
A moment later, Zhou Yixian applied the medicine and finally felt much better.
He could only swallow the things Jin Ping'er kept from him and dared not speak out.
"Let's go, it's all applied, let's continue on our way!"
Jin Ping'er said to Zhou Yixian in an annoyed tone.
But he had a completely different expression when it came to Xiao Huan.
"Sister, have you been here before? It feels so familiar!"
The three walked for another half day and saw that Jin Ping'er seemed very familiar, so they couldn't help but ask her out of curiosity.
"I've never been here before!"
Jin Ping'er shook her head, then seemed to remember something, her eyes filled with a smile, "Have you ever heard of an ancient book fragment called 'Tales of Gods and Demons'?"
Xiao Huan has traveled all over the country, so she is naturally very clear about the rumors.
Jin Ping'er continued, "It is said that this book was written by an ancient extraordinary person and consists of nine chapters, but unfortunately many have been lost. Now there are only the 'Monsters and Spirits Chapter,' the 'Spirit Monster Chapter,' and the 'Mountains and Rivers Chapter' that I found a few days ago, which contains records about the Death Swamp."
"By the way, our Chief Li is looking for the 'Landscape Chapter'."
Jin Ping'er's eyes held a hint of joy, as if she could use this to manipulate Li Qing'an.
You should know that Li Qing'an collected books from all over the world, so he naturally wanted to see this extraordinary book, "The Landscape Chapter"!
Xiao Huan's voice was full of disbelief: "Sister, you don't mean to use this to threaten big brother, do you!"
"What, no?"
As Jin Ping'er was speaking, her face suddenly turned cold. She turned around and looked around. Her originally composed face became wary and solemn!
Chapter 188 The Arrival of the Qingyun Sect Members!
Seeing Jin Ping'er's appearance, Xiao Huan stopped joking and instead looked around warily.
A voice suddenly came from the thick fog: "Golden Fairy, we had arranged to discuss important matters, why didn't you come! I know that the Hehuan Sect harbors some resentment about Ancestor Duanmu. But debts are settled once the person is dead, why hold on to it?"
Jin Ping'er's expression relaxed slightly, but the wariness in her eyes remained.
"Leaving that aside for now, a few days ago, a disciple of my Hehuan Sect was poisoned by 'Black Toad Powder' outside Dawang Village..."
Jin Ping'er didn't finish her sentence, but those in the thick fog understood what she meant.
“Golden Fairy, you should also know that this matter is of no benefit to my Ten Thousand Poisons Sect!”
However, this matter involves both our factions, and there are many suspicious circumstances surrounding this trip to the swamp. I hope you will consider this carefully and prioritize the overall situation!
After a moment's thought, Jin Ping'er gave a few instructions and left. With Xiao Luo, trained by Li Qing'an, protecting her, she was safe and sound.
She can leave for a while without worry.
After Jin Ping'er left, Xiao Huan and Zhou Yixian waited there for quite some time. Seeing that the sky was overcast and the clouds were getting thicker, they realized that they hadn't brought an umbrella.
The rainwater in the Death Swamp carries a lot of toxins. If one doesn't take shelter, those who are not strong enough may even develop tuberculosis.
After a while.
A light drizzle began to fall from the sky, and the two people who were looking for shelter were afraid of getting wet.
However, before Xiao Huan could even worry...
Xiao Huan and Zhou Yixian suddenly discovered that the rain above their heads was being blocked by an inexplicable force.
Not a single drop of rain fell on their clothes.
Xiao Huan looked at Xiao Luo on her shoulder with a happy expression.
"This turtle has the bloodline of the divine turtle and can easily master the power of water."
Zhou Yixian's eyes gleamed as he looked at the tortoise and explained to Xiao Huan.
"Thank you!"
Xiao Huan touched Xiao Luo's smooth, slightly bumpy tortoise shell and expressed her gratitude.
With Xiao Luo's help, the two of them relaxed and strolled around, waiting for Jin Ping'er to return.
At dusk, the rain stopped abruptly. After the heavy rain, the fog receded slightly, and the sky appeared much brighter than before.
While hiding, Xiao Huan and her companion came to a pond where aquatic plants grew lushly and the water surface seemed to reflect a deep emerald green.
Xiao Huan was about to head towards the pond when she suddenly heard a sound ahead—footsteps.
Xiao Huan was overjoyed and was about to utter "Sister Ping'er" when she suddenly stopped herself upon seeing the person.
A dozen or so figures emerged swiftly from the mist, accompanied by a voice that cried out, "Senior brother, junior brother, don't attack! It's an old man and a young boy. They're not disciples of the Demonic Sect!"
"Gulu..."
Xiao Huan was startled. The person who came was a Qingyun disciple wearing Qingyun Sect attire. Xiao Luo on her shoulder even made a few sounds.
Xiao Huan first scanned the crowd in front of her, searching for that exceptionally beautiful figure.
Upon seeing the figure holding a deep blue robe, Xiao Huan's face lit up with joy, and she ran towards the crowd.
"Sister Xueqi!"
"Xiao Huan! What are you doing here!"
Lu Xueqi stepped over the crowd and looked at the people running towards her.
Although it has been ten years since we last met, you can still vaguely see some of the original Xiao Huan's appearance.
"Grandpa and I came to the Death Swamp to take a look!" Xiao Huan said, scratching her head, a little embarrassed.
She couldn't very well say that she had originally been waiting for someone in Dawang Village.
Unable to resist the temptation, he followed Jin Ping'er to the Death Swamp.
Wait, Jin Ping'er?
Xiao Huan, who was holding Lu Xueqi's hand, suddenly paused.
Jin Ping'er was a disciple of the Hehuan Sect of the Demonic Cult, while Lu Xueqi was a disciple of the Dazhu Peak of the Qingyun Sect.
The two of them definitely won't get along.
What's more, both of them have a very close relationship with the older brother!
If Jin Ping'er goes to look for them and they start fighting again, should she try to stop them, watch them fight, or find Li Qing'an to watch together...?
It was during this time that Xiao Huan and Lu Xueqi exchanged pleasantries and inquired about each other's recent situations.
Zeng Shushu's eyes lit up when he saw Xiao Luo on Xiao Huan's shoulder, and he looked Xiao Huan up and down.
He could never forget what Xiao Luo looked like, even in death.
"This must be the tortoise that Uncle Li keeps!"
Zeng Shushu stepped forward, looked at the tortoise, and spoke to his fellow disciples around him.
Xiao Yicai and his companions were shocked, and suddenly felt more confident.
Xiao Luo's presence here indicates that Li Qing'an is also in the Death Swamp.
Beside her, Lu Xueqi was also looking at Xiao Luo on Xiao Huan's shoulder.
"Xiao Huan, this Death Swamp is extremely dangerous, so don't go any deeper. I'll take you to Da Wang Village in a bit, and then I'll take you to see the Qingyun Sect when I get back!"
Lu Xueqi pulled Xiao Huan aside and gave her careful instructions.
Seeing that the old man beside him even had the words "a sage pointing the way" on his body, Zeng Shushu got excited and stepped forward, saying, "Senior, are you perhaps a fortune teller?"
"That's natural. Predicting fifty years into the future or a hundred years in the future is as easy as turning one's hand!"
When Zhou Yixian saw a customer coming to his door, his eyes lit up and he started boasting without any restraint.
"really?"
Upon hearing this, Zeng Shushu immediately became interested.
"I once heard that two words are actually three words;"
Putting out a fire is actually extinguishing a fire;
It actually fell to the ground;
Zeng Shushu's interest grew even stronger, and he slowly said, "Then I wonder what your thoughts are on these words, senior!"
After a moment of contemplation, Zhou Yixian realized that this person was not someone to be taken advantage of, but rather someone who had come to cause trouble.
"Um... well, I think plain noodles should be mixed with soil, because the length of the nails could directly affect the torque of the wooden house!"
After much thought, Zhou Yixian uttered a few words.
Sigh, it's all made up. Anyone can make that up!
Their eyes met, sensing that the other was a formidable opponent.
A sense of mutual appreciation arose between them.
Just as the two were about to speak again.
Xiao Luo, who had been silently perched on Xiao Huan's shoulder, suddenly made a wary 'gurgling' sound.
Xiao Huan, who was talking to Lu Xueqi, was startled. Just as she was about to speak, she saw a pair of eyes appear in the pond where everyone was chatting. The eyes were more than twice the size of ordinary eyes and were silently watching her.
Before Xiao Huan could react, the surface of the pond not far away suddenly erupted, and a huge column of water shot up and rushed straight towards Xiao Huan.
Xiao Huan's face turned pale. She took a few steps back, her left hand tucked into her bosom, just as she was about to use the array plate given to her by Li Qing'an.
Swah——
A streak of azure sword light flashed by, cleaving the water column in two.
A hoarse groan came from the water column, and as the water column split in two, blood suddenly appeared in the water droplets, falling in all directions with the water.
boom--
The dark shadow in the water column also slammed heavily onto the ground.
