Jinliancheng was taken by that man. When he returned to the villa in Poyang City, the fire in the bamboo forest had been extinguished and the formation was all broken.

The woman in black robe who was used by Xiao Xinghan to exchange for Jin Liancheng last night was still alive, but was seriously injured, so she sat cross-legged beside Jin Liancheng. The man in black robe and gold face walked around the villa. The room where he originally lived, the landscape painting of the cloud island, was burned halfway. The old tree covered with human bones, was also burned halfway, and many of the white wind chimes were blackened.

When Jin Liancheng saw the man again, the man was holding Ming Xinyao in his hand. Ming Xinyao was used as bait and had been in a coma and was not dead yet.

"Xuanwu is gone." The man said to Jin Liancheng.

Jin Liancheng didn't say anything. He thought it must be Xiao Xinghan who took the Xuanwu away. Xiao Xinghan guessed that this person might come back, but did not remind him. Or, Xiao Xinghan reminded him, using a look that Jin Liancheng didn't understand at the time, damn it...

"Jin Liancheng, I heard that you have a brother." The man in black robe and gold face looked at Jin Liancheng and said.

Jin Liancheng's heart sank and continued to remain silent. He heard the man say, "I think that for you, only your own life is the most important thing. This time you disobeyed me and chose to cooperate with your mortal enemy Xiao Xinghan because you think that I pose a greater threat to you, right?"

Jin Liancheng didn't say anything. The next moment, the man suddenly reached out and strangled Jin Liancheng's neck with one hand, and the other hand brushed across Jin Liancheng's face. Jin Liancheng felt a little fuzzy in his heart, and then he heard the man say something he couldn't understand: "With such a perfect face, you are such a lucky child..."

Perfect face? Lucky child? Jin Liancheng felt that the man looked at him with a terrifying look. For a moment, he seemed to ruin his face.

However, what Jin Liancheng was worried about did not happen. The man let go of Jin Liancheng and said to him: "Next, there is another thing that you will have to do. This time, no one can save you except yourself."

Jin Liancheng's heart sank. The next moment, his chin was suddenly pinched by the man, forcing him to open his mouth. He suddenly widened his eyes and saw something in the man's hand flying into his mouth. It seemed to move, and it slid down his throat...

Jin Liancheng covered his neck and started to retching, his face extremely ugly.

"That's the Gu King." The man in black robe and gold face smiled sinisterly, "You are the host of the Gu King now. In three months, if the Gu King does not leave your body, you will start to suck your brain marrow. At that time, you will die ugly. No one can solve the Gu King, except me, or you will die."

Jin Liancheng's face turned pale. When he heard the word "Gu King", he felt like there were countless insects crawling around in his body, making his hair stand up all over his body.

"You can go and find Xiao Xinghan, but there is only one way to die, because he can't save you, nor will he save you." The man in black robe and gold face sneered, "If you want to survive, there is only one way. Within three months, you can complete the tasks assigned by me. At that time, I will not only take away the Gu King, but also let you go free."

"What... what task?" Jin Liancheng's heart suddenly sank to the bottom. He had an extremely bad premonition that what this person wanted to do next must be something he didn't want to do. No matter how selfish he was, he was still a personal one. Some things he could not do! For example, for the massacre of the city, for him, even for his life, he could not do it at all!

The man in black robe and gold face approached Jin Liancheng, and whispered a few words in his ear.

Jin Liancheng suddenly widened his eyes and shook his head and said, "Impossible! I can't do it! I really can't do it!"

"Why can't it be done?" the man sneered, "Those people have nothing to do with you. You just need to do what I told you, and then you can live and get freedom. What you can do is believe in yourself."

"I... why don't you go by yourself?" Jin Liancheng's voice trembled slightly, and he looked at the man and asked.

"You can do this thing, it's the most appropriate thing." The man in black robe and gold face looked at Jin Liancheng and said, "In three months, this time, Xiao Xinghan or Xiao Yuesheng can't save you. You can betray me, that will only make you die faster. Go, go to that place, bring the person I want, I believe you can do it."

"I... three months, where will I take them?" Jin Liancheng asked with an ugly face.

"Haha, that's all." said the man in black robe and gold face, "Take them to Yunzhong Island, and whenever you get close, someone will pick you up."

"Three months is too short..." Jin Liancheng said.

"Thinking about your life, you won't feel that you can't do it. Go now, I believe you won't let me down this time." The man in black robe and gold face said, pulling Jin Liancheng up from the ground, and stretching out his hand to gently stroke Jin Liancheng's hair, looking at him and said, "With the Gu King in your body, your injury will heal soon, and in the next three months, you will be immune to all poisons, and the symbiotic Gu of mother and child will not affect you for the time being. Let go and live is important."

"Yes, Lord." Jin Liancheng nodded slightly as if he was bewitched, and then turned and left.

Soon, Jinliancheng drove a small boat and left Poyang City as fast as possible, heading towards Xianluo Island.

Shuoxuecheng.

Xiao Xinghan has not returned yet, and Mu Yan has not come out of seclusion. Shangguan Ling still goes out to find Mu Lin every day, but there is still no clue.

As time went by, Chen Ji became more and more worried about Xiao Xinghan coming because he had been out for a long time and had no news.

Chen Ji was just about to ask Qi Ningyuan to send someone to Poyang City to see it, but in the evening that day, Xiao Xinghan suddenly came back.

Shangguan Ling had just gone out to search for Mu Lin for a day. Before he could enter the city lord's mansion, he turned around and found a small boat approaching. The man in black clothes and silver face on it made him happy: "Boss Xiao!"

But soon, when he saw the boat docking, Xiao Xinghan came up with a man, Shangguan Ling's expression changed: "Who is this? Where is Ayun? Why didn't he come back with you?"

"I asked him to go back to the Divine Soldier City." Xiao Xinghan said.

Shangguan Ling breathed a sigh of relief: "I was scared to death. I thought something had happened to Ayun. But would it be unsafe for him to return to Shenbing City by himself? What if something happens on the road?"

"You go and get him back?" Xiao Xinghan asked back.

Shangguan Ling was speechless. After thinking about it, Xiao Xinghan had always been much better than Qi Yun. Since he arranged for Qi Yun to go back, he would definitely not let something happen to Qi Yun.

Xiao Xinghan carried the Xuanwu in his hand and returned to the lord's mansion in Shuoxue City. Qi Ningyuan rushed over quickly. Chen Ji also came with a cane. He was relieved when he saw Xiao Xinghan was fine.

"My cousin, how are you going out this time?" Qi Ningyuan asked Xiao Xinghan.

"Jinfang City was indeed slaughtered, and no old people or children were spared," said Xiao Xinghan.

Chen Ji's face darkened: "It must be related to the people who destroyed Yunzhong Island back then!"

"I saw the envoy in Poyang City. He was wearing Xuanyuan Ye's human skin mask on his face." Xiao Xinghan said.

Qi Ningyuan's face turned aside: "So, what happened back then and what happened recently did have nothing to do with Xuanyuan Ye. It is very likely that Xuanyuan Ye had died decades ago, and someone has always been doing evil under his name!"

"It's a sect called Tianzong." Xiao Xinghan said, "There are four guardians under the seat, one of whom is an old monk who pretends to be Master Yuantong, and the other one, I suspect it's related to the Han family in Poyang City, and there was a woman who fought with me in the end."

"Tianzong..." Chen Ji frowned.

"Has my grandfather heard of it?" Qi Ningyuan asked.

Chen Ji shook his head: "I have never heard of this sect."

Xuanwu was lying on the ground. He was injured, but he was not dead yet. He just fell into a coma. The incense of searching in his body had been relieved by Xiao Xinghan. Xiao Xinghan took off the mask on Xuanwu's face and revealed a strange-looking face. His facial features were a bit deformed and twisted together.

"Why did it become like this?" Shangguan Ling glanced at it and felt that he might have nightmares at night.

"If people who are close to each other, the children born are prone to deformity." Xiao Xinghan said, "That's the case." Xiao Xinghan brought him back just to continue to study what's special about his blood. As for his identity, it's very difficult to know.

"When it comes to this, Grandpa Chen, I have never quite understood why you regard twins as ominous signs? Isn't it a very lucky thing to have two children at a time?" Shangguan Ling asked Chen Ji.

Chen Ji sighed and said, "I don't know about this. I have asked my grandfather and my father. My father said he didn't know why. My grandfather told me that when I reach his age, I will understand some things."

Shangguan Ling was stunned for a moment: "What does this mean? You know when you are old? Why do you feel so strange? I think Grandpa Chen's grandfather must have known something, that is, this rule is indeed not just a rule, but for other reasons!"

Chen Ji nodded: "Maybe, but my grandfather is gone long ago. It is possible that the people who know the reason are gone."

Xiao Xinghan looked inexplicably. Looking at Xuanwu, who looked a little deformed on the ground, he felt that it had something to do with the evil rules of the Twins in the Apocalypse Continent, but he couldn't figure out what it would be.

"Does Han Yu have twin brothers?" Xiao Xinghan suddenly thought of the dead Han Feng and asked Chen Ji.

Chen Ji shook his head: "No, those who gave birth to twins will be hidden unless they are like Ning Yuan's mother, who is unwilling to send them away and hide them. All our families know about the others sent away. As far as I know, Han Yu does not have twin brothers."

Xiao Xinghan felt that those people did evil must have a reason. What kind of hatred would make a person slaughter a city? And why did Yunzhong Island happen decades ago, and Jinfang City, not Poyang City, or other cities happen decades? Could it be that there is a reason in the middle? They just couldn't imagine it.

"My cousin, you said, the devil of Tianzong has agreed with you to meet on Yunzhong Island in three months?" Qi Ningyuan asked Xiao Xinghan.

Xiao Xinghan nodded: "Well, I plan to go to Yunzhongdao in a few days to check out the road. That person must have something to do with the Xuanyuan family of Yunzhongdao. I suspect that he was the one who destroyed Yunzhongdao and poured dirty water on Xuanyuan Ye back then."

"Then why did he suddenly appear again now? Where did he hide in those years?" Qi Ningyuan asked with a frown.

"This Fengyun Sword that had been hidden in Yuanyin Temple was connected by Master Yuantong who had changed his personal a few years ago, and the clues we got when we went to Yuanyin Temple last time. I suspect that Master Yuantong captured Xuanyuan Ye back to Yuanyin Temple back then was fake. It may be the person I met this time. He was imprisoned in Yuanyin Temple for decades, escaped a few years ago, killed Master Yuantong, and asked his subordinates to pretend to be Master Yuantong." Xiao Xinghan said.

Qi Ningyuan was shocked: "In this way, many things make sense!"

"No!" Shangguan Ling looked strange, "Isn't Master Yuantong a master monk? Xiaojiu said that Master Yuantong can really see through the secrets of heaven. Then he should have known that the person he captured was not Xuanyuan Ye at all. Why didn't he tell the people from the six major families? And I don't understand why Master Yuantong locked that person in Yuanyin Temple for decades and didn't kill him. Even if the monks are compassionate and cannot kill people, Master Yuantong can't calculate that that person will kill him?"

Chen Ji sighed deeply and said, "I had a relationship with Master Yuantong back then and once talked about Tianji. Master Yuantong said that it takes a price to peek at Tianji, and he cannot calculate his life and death and future."

"I still think that Master Yuantong has an unshirkable responsibility in this matter. He should have killed that person back then, otherwise he would not have left such a big disaster and eventually killed himself." Shangguan Ling said.

"Oh!" Chen Ji shook his head, "It's such a sin! Master Yuantong is gone anymore. It's meaningless to say this now."

"Does Xuanyuan Ye have twin brothers and sisters?" Xiao Xinghan suddenly remembered and asked Chen Ji again. If that person was Xuanyuan Ye's twin brother, he felt that he had been treated unfairly because he was sent away and came back to take revenge, it would be hard to say.

Chen Ji shook his head: "As far as I know, there is no."

"Now we are in the light, they are in the dark, and that person seems to know everything about us. We don't even know who he is now. This feeling is too bad!" Qi Ningyuan frowned and said, "He asked his cousin's brother-in-law to go to Yunzhong Island in three months. Will he do nothing in the next three months?"

"I don't think so." Shangguan Ling shook his head.

The guard's report came from outside the gate: "Mr. City Lord, I picked up a child outside the city."
