When Qi Ningyuan met Mu Yan again, it was noon the next day.

"Qi Xiaoyuan, what does it feel like to wear a wedding robe?" Mu Yan said this as soon as she met.

Qi Ningyuan's mouth twitched: "Cousin, just poke a knife into my heart! For the sake of helping my cousin's brother-in-law take the blame this time, can you call me a cousin?"

"No." Mu Yan shook her head, "I have a brother, I don't lack you as a fool."

"I just lack you as a cousin..." Qi Ningyuan finished speaking and quickly changed the subject because he saw Mu Yan's sadness. He must have remembered Mu Lin, who was uncertain about his life and death, "Cousin, you fought with that person, how strong is he? What have you discovered? Tell us quickly!"

"For his strength, we can barely beat him." Mu Yan said, "It is troublesome to not invade all poisons. Not only can poisons not be used, the power of hidden weapons is also very limited."

"Cousin, you can escape unstoppable!" Qi Ningyuan gave a thumbs up, "At that time, I was in Luoying City, and I thought it was a plan to lure the tiger away from the mountain, but I was frightened by my cousin's husband. I ran all the way and threw me down several times in the middle." Qi Ningyuan thought that if he had faced that person, he might have lost his life now.

"He made up his mind to kill me." Mu Yan said to Xiao Xinghan, "The purpose is to make you suffer. He has a grudge against you. To be precise, it is not with you, but with Xuanyuan Ye. Because you are Xuanyuan Ye's grandson, you were also angry."

"Did my cousin talk to him?" Qi Ningyuan asked curiously.

"Well, after chatting for a while, he said he was Xuanyuan Ye, I said I was Feng Xiaoting, and he said I would scold him." Mu Yan said with a faint expression.

Qi Ningyuan's mouth twitched: "You are really scolding him." He is really a skilled man and dares to say anything...

"He admitted that Master Yuantong was killed by him, and also admitted that he was the 'Xuanyuan Ye' who was locked in Yuanyin Temple in those years." Mu Yan said.

Qi Ningyuan's expression changed slightly: "Xuanyuan Ye, who was captured back to Yuanyin Temple back then, is fake. He is the one who is making trouble now? He even killed Master Yuantong?"

"It seems that way at the moment. Moreover, the real Xuanyuan Ye may still be alive. According to the information I received, Master Yuantong did not touch him in order to rescue the real Xuanyuan Ye from that person. There is another reason, that person should have a miserable life experience. Master Yuantong has compassion for him." Mu Yan said, "I don't know what kind of compassion is like him, but the fact is that Master Yuantong left this disaster, which has been left for decades, and finally lost his life."

"Master Yuantong... Alas, I don't know what he was thinking. But cousin, do you really think Xuanyuan Ye is still alive? It's been more than fifty years. If he had been alive, where would he be? He wouldn't be locked in a dark place like his grandfather, right?" Qi Ningyuan sighed and said.

"Island in the Clouds." Mu Yan said three words, "If Xuanyuan Ye is really alive, I guess he might be in the Island in the Clouds. That person had a March period with Xiao Hanhan, saying that if he didn't go to Island in the Clouds, he would definitely regret it. I suspect that the regret he said might be related to Xuanyuan Ye."

"Then what should we do now? There are two months left before the March period. Should we take the initiative to attack?" Qi Ningyuan asked Mu Yan, "My cousin had not come out of seclusion before, and her cousin planned to explore the road to Yunzhong Island. Now that my cousin has come out of seclusion, he has also fought with that person. You should have discussed it. Has the plan changed?"

"No." Mu Yan said, "Yunzhong Island, you must go. That person's nest should be on it. How many people are there in the so-called Tianzong and how strong are. Only when we reach Yunzhong Island, we can know."

"Xiao Huaer, your injury has not healed yet. Let A Yuan and Xinghan go for this matter." Chen Ji sighed and said, "The last time I went to Yunzhong Island was decades ago. You are young and have never been to that place. It is probably very dangerous now."

"Yes, my cousin, I'll go with my cousin and my husband this time, you stay." Qi Ningyuan said, "We're just going to explore the way, be careful, it should be fine."

"I'll go." Mu Yan said, "I'll be fine if my injury is taken for a few more days."

"Why can't I do it?" Qi Ningyuan asked.

"Because you really can't do it." Mu Yan rolled her eyes to Qi Ningyuan.

Qi Ningyuan's face turned dark, and he always felt that Mu Yan had some meaning, but he had no evidence. Suddenly, he remembered that when Xiao Xinghan healed his wounds, he also used a medicine that made him "not work". The unscrupulous couple said that they would wait for him to find his wife and get rid of him before getting married, and they were also drunk...

"Don't worry, grandpa, we will be careful then." Mu Yan said to Chen Ji.

Chen Ji still looked a little worried, and looked at Xiao Xinghan and said earnestly: "Xinghan, you must protect Xiao Huaer, do you know?"

"I can." Xiao Xinghan nodded.

Shangguan Ling, who had never spoken before, said thoughtfully: "So, that person should have pretended to be Xuanyuan Ye and massacred the people from Yunzhongcheng, and then took Xuanyuan Ye's wife to the Divine Soldier City together. Master Yuantong took him from the Divine Soldier City and captured him back to Yuanyin Temple. The old poisonous woman Qingyu had been thinking about it. It was not the real Xuanyuan Ye, but the fake! It seems that it was because of a woman! Could that person do that just to get Xuanyuan Ye's wife Feng Xiaoran?" Shangguan Ling said.

"This should be one of the reasons, but not all." Mu Yan shook her head, "If it were just for women, he would not need to kill all the people in Yunzhongcheng so crazy, just kill Xuanyuan Ye. That person chose to leave Xuanyuan Ye and Feng Xiaoran's daughter back then, but now he is here to deal with Xuanyuan Ye's grandson, looking irreconcilable. It seems that there is only one reason to explain it."

"What's the reason?" Qi Ningyuan and Shangguan Ling spoke at the same time and asked curiously.

"That man was jealous of Xuanyuan Ye and Xiao Hanhan's good-looking appearance." Mu Yan said quietly.

Qi Ningyuan and Shangguan Ling rolled their eyes at the same time, and Qi Ningyuan said speechlessly: "Cousin, I know your man is good-looking. We are talking about serious things. Can you be more serious?"

"What I said is serious," Mu Yan said, "I guess that person should have some defects in his body, so he has a psychopathic and shameless person."

Shangguan Ling's expression changed slightly: "According to what Xiao Xing'er said at the junior sister Xiao Jiu, the portrait of Xuanku's lost should have fallen into that person's hands. He wouldn't let someone go to the Shenbing City to capture Xiao Xing'er, right?"

Chen Ji's expression tightened: "Divine Weapon City is safe

All?"

Mu Yan and Xiao Xinghan looked at each other, and Mu Yan shook their heads slightly and said, "This matter is hard to say. That person has escaped from Yuanyin Temple for several years. In these years, his subordinates have also cultivated Ming Xinyao. I think he may have been to Tianyu Continent and knows everything about us. Even without that portrait, it will not stop him from staring at Xiao Xing'er."

"What should I do?" Shangguan Ling looked very worried.

"I believe in my brother." Xiao Xinghan spoke, only saying this.

"It's not that I don't believe Xiao Yue'er. I'm not afraid of ten thousand, but I'm afraid of something!" Shangguan Ling said with an ugly expression, "Why don't you discuss with Xiao Da Xiao and Xiao Jiu Junior Sister, you two and go back to the Shenbing City alone? You are all here, I always feel that Shenbing City is unsafe! If Xiao Xing'er is really caught by them, the consequences will be unimaginable!"

Qi Ningyuan and Chen Ji also became nervous. Xiao Xinghan shook Mu Yan's hand and said, "We cannot be distracted now. Shenbing City has made strict arrangements. In fact, it is much safer than Shuoxue City. It may not be a good thing to bring Xiao Xing'er over."

In fact, Xiao Xinghan mentioned to Mu Yan early this morning, saying that he wanted her to take Chen Ji and Shangguan Ling back to Shenbing City, and handed it over to him and Qi Ningyuan for treatment. At that time, Mu Yan was silent for a long time, but still did not agree. They were all worried about their son who was far away in Shenbing City, but in the current situation, the other party's strength was unfathomable. If they separated and took into account both ends, their chances of winning would be smaller.

The atmosphere fell silent for a moment. Xiao Xinghan and Mu Yan had already made a decision, and the others knew that nothing was useful to say.

The next day, Xuan Ku came back from Luoying City.

Seeing that Mu Yan was fine, Xuan Ku was relieved. When he learned that Xiao Xing'er might be in danger, Xuan Ku proposed to go to the Shenbing City to protect Xiao Xing'er. Mu Yan prepared his luggage for him, and he quickly left alone. Shangguan Ling thought that he would not be able to help when he went back. Chen Ji was afraid of delaying the time on Xuan Ku's road, so he left behind.

Ten days later, under Xiao Xinghan's careful conditioning, Mu Yan's body had almost recovered, and it was the day they had originally planned to set off for Yunzhong Island.

Two Fengyun swords, one in Xiao Xinghan's hands and the other in Mu Yan's hands. They have already memorized the sword score in their hearts. They have practiced it from beginning to end, and it will take more time to get familiar with it. Mu Yan brought five treasure maps, thinking that it might be useful.

Yunzhong Island is very close to Xingzhe Island. If you go from Shuoxue City to Yunzhong Island, you will arrive in four or five days if you are fast.

The wind was calm along the way, and when approaching the island of Yunzhong, Xiao Xinghan slowed down.

Yunzhong Island is surrounded by clouds and mist all year round. Before the accident, it was like a fairyland, with the most beautiful natural scenery on the Apocalypse Continent. Xiao Xinghan once saw it. In the villa in the north city of Poyang City, there was a screen of Yunzhong Island in the room.

They originally thought that Yunzhong Island would have a formation to guard it, but when they got closer, they found that there was no one.

It is April now, early summer, it is early morning, with mist shrouding, the air is fresh, the island in front of you is full of green, and you can still hear the sound of insects and birds singing.

Xiao Xinghan and Mu Yan got on the shore and pulled the boat up, hiding behind a large stone.

Mu Yan took out the treasure map that was put together. There was a piece missing in the center, which was incomplete, but you could see the general direction. Yunzhong Island is the largest island in the Apocalypse Continent, with an area of ​​two Shuoshui City. They didn't know where there would be someone, so they decided to find the treasure house of Xuanyuan based on this map and see the situation.

Mu Yan found a direction as pointed in the treasure map, and pulled Xiao Xinghan forward together.

Since becoming an uninhabited island decades ago, the island of Yunzhong is lush with trees and wild grass growing wildly. Mu Yan also saw large areas of Manzhu Shahua in full swing, with bloody flowers blooming.

They encountered dilapidated houses and would kick the human bones after walking a few steps. Looking up, the quiet and beautiful island, looking down, the sight was full of devastation.

After walking forward for a long time, I found no trace of living people. Not far away in front of them was the lord's mansion in Yunzhong City.

Decades have passed, and after wind and rain, most of the houses in Yunzhongcheng have been dilapidated and collapsed, but the city lord's mansion still stands steadily in the center of Yunzhongcheng. There is a huge rock outside the gate of the city lord's mansion, with two big words "Xuanyuan" engraved on it.

The door was closed, covered with dust and spider webs. Xiao Xinghan hugged Mu Yan, flew over the door, and entered the city lord's mansion.

The ground was covered with white bones, and there was nowhere to stay. Xiao Xinghan took Mu Yan and leaped over the roof, and reached the deepest part of the city lord's mansion. Not far below was the Xuanyuan clan's ancestral hall. The door of the ancestral hall was closed, and the weeds at the door were shorter than elsewhere.

Xiao Xinghan held Mu Lin and landed on the ground, waved his palms from the air, opened the door of the ancestral hall, and a gust of cold wind blew out. The two exchanged glances, but they were still the same. They went in one person to explore the way and covered the other outside.

Xiao Xinghan let go of Mu Yan and entered the ancestral hall in front of him.

The ancestral hall is a wooden building with a high roof. It is almost noon now and it is cool and dark inside.

In the ancestral hall, there were many tablets lined up one by one. In the middle, the largest one from high to low tablets were the Xuanyuan family's previous heads. There was no Xuanyuan Ye or Xuanyuan Ye's father, because Xuanyuan Ye's father died suddenly, no one made him a tablet.

All the men worshipped in the ancestral hall were from Xuanyuan's men, and each of the tablets was painted with a large fork. They were painted with blood, and the blood had already dried up, leaving dark traces.

Every Xuanyuan family head has a portrait in the ancestral hall, hanging around. At this time, all the people on the portraits have lost their heads.

Xiao Xinghan saw that there was something behind the portraits, and he didn't get close. He drew his sword and waved it through the air. A headless portrait fell to the ground, revealing another portrait hidden behind him. The portrait was a beautiful woman, looking very young.

After Xiao Xinghan cut off the other portraits, there was a painting hidden behind them. They were all painted by the same woman, wearing different clothes, sitting or standing, some with side faces, and some with backs.

In the last painting, the woman stood by the sea, with one foot in her arms, holding a swaddle in her arms, the child's face inside the swaddle was blank, the woman's eyes were full of despair, and deep hatred...
