When Xu Yan woke up, the sky was approaching twilight, so in the valley where he was, he had long fallen into darkness. And the moment he woke up, he saw a dazzling purple rainbow in the vast blue sky, which was sweeping through his vision from north to south.

In just a moment, Xu Yan, who had roughly guessed the ending, shook his head and didn't think much about it, but then a gentle and pleasant voice sounded from his ears, and she said, "I didn't expect that the Saint was so fast that she had practiced to the point where she could fly on a sword."

When Xu Yan heard her somewhat envious voice, he turned his head to look at her, and then found that the beautiful woman who had helped to light the bonfire in advance was also looking at the fleeting rainbow not far away.

He hesitated for a moment, and finally told her the truth: "Actually... there is nothing to envy. I can use the way of the rest of my life to exchange for the ability to gallop across the world. In my opinion, no matter how you look at it, it is a loss-making business."

Cai Zhenjing, who had already been honest with himself, untied his heart, and looked particularly gentle and virtuous against the bonfire, heard this, quietly recycled his gaze that looked at the sky.

She turned her head and looked at Xu Yan who was solving her doubts, and showed a slight smile on her face, but then she refuted his opinion stubbornly and said quietly: "I think it's good to have such an opportunity. After all, many people have spent their entire lives in kendo and cannot truly fly on the sword, let alone be able to see the beautiful scenery of the mountains and rivers under their feet."

Xu Yan heard the melancholy in her words, and his deep eyes could not help but narrowed slightly, but he did not intend to continue to investigate this issue. Instead, he stood up and suddenly thanked her, saying, "I fell asleep accidentally before. I feel a little ashamed. Thank you Miss Cai for coming for a few hours and helping me protect the Dharma."

When Cai Zhenjing heard this, he shook his head and replied, "If this little thing is worthy of Mr. Xu's thanks for this, then Mr. Xu saved the little girl's life again and again, what can the little girl do to repay Mr. Xu's kindness for the spring?"

Although Xu Yan had already noticed that Cai Zhenjing's attitude towards him had changed a lot from the beginning. He no longer treated him coldly and as if he was facing a great enemy, he could still know her temperament. In fact, he was quite stubborn and serious, and very opinionated. He was not as gentle as an ordinary woman, and was dependent on others. Therefore, for such an independent and somewhat upright woman, even if he really saved her life, he didn't want to hide it from the beginning. He actually did this with a strong purpose.

Xu Yan looked at her calmly, and couldn't help but sigh in his heart, but in the end he said to her truthfully: "Actually, at the beginning, the reason why I wanted to save Miss Cai's life from Yan Ziyi's hands and finally let you leave like that was just to let you successfully go back alive and expose the scandal of collusion between Yunlan Sect and Chenyang Sect through your mouth, so as to provoke the hatred between you Baihe Jianzhuang and them. As for this time, I was facing the danger of falling off the cliff. Haha, if it were to be said, I had implicated Miss Cai and fell off the deep cliff together. If it weren't for me, your saint wouldn't have been so cruel to you, so Miss Cai wouldn't have to take those 'life-saving graces' to heart."

Cai Zhenjing couldn't help but feel a little pain when she heard Xu Yan suddenly say the truth so straightforwardly, but then she felt relieved again, and couldn't help thinking in her heart, "How could there be such a frank and direct person in this world?"

After she was silent for a moment, she slowly said: "No matter what purpose it is, Mr. Xu saved the life of a young woman. Perhaps in your eyes, this is just for the benefit of the sects. But for me, it is a very good and lucky thing to be able to experience the meaning of living again and continue to breathe in this world, so I have to thank you no matter what," she said.

Xu Yan knew that her stubborn temper had risen again, so she did not insist and could only follow her. However, when he learned that she had learned how to face up to her life, he was sincerely happy for her. After all, what he disliked the most was the kind of person who thought that he could sacrifice his life at any time for benevolence, righteousness and morality. For example, she was like this before, but with this experience, it was obvious that she would not be like this in the future.

You know, everyone only lives this life. If everyone dies, what is the use of that false reputation?

So, Xu Yan no longer rejected her spiritual good intentions, but just nodded to her and said calmly: "It's great that Miss Cai can think so."

...

One night passed.

There was no abnormality in the valley. The credit for this was naturally attributed to Xiao Cai who was deliberately asked by Xu Yan to release her own breath after reaching the level 6 spirit beast, which avoided those low-level spirit beasts that were eyeing Xu Yan and the others in the dark, ready to attack at all times, but finally chose to leave.

Therefore, at the source of this evil stream, there is only the sound of the waterfall that keeps falling, and it is heard, accompanied by Xu Yan constantly recuperating his injuries in the dark.

When he came back from meditation, it was already bright. After Xu Yan slowly opened his eyes, he controlled his mind and roughly checked his physical condition. After a moment, he breathed a sigh of relief. As a result, it was almost the same as what he expected in his heart, and everything in his body had returned to normal. For example, the two Qi houses in his body were completely filled with energy after a night of meditation, and the sword wound behind him was healed under the treatment of his Bible. Even after experiencing this battle with Bai Bing, his martial arts cultivation body had been greatly enhanced.

In the martial arts path, martial arts practitioners in the world are good at raising wars. As long as they are not injured by their opponents in battle, such as the opening acupuncture points and meridians that have been broken by others, then they will only become stronger and stronger afterwards. Moreover, Xu Yan himself is a former martial arts master, and he has long been extremely familiar with this way of practice and is clear about it.

After checking his physical condition, Xu Yan looked around and then found that Cai Zhenjing, who was beside him, woke up earlier than him. She had already roasted a hind legs of a spirit beast he had hunted from the mountains last night, which was fragrant.

Xu Yan got up and rinsed his mouth by the pool, washed his face, then walked back to the fire and ate some barbecue with Cai Zhenjing. After they were almost full, he said to Cai Zhenjing: "Today, there are only about seven days left before the end of spring hunting, but we are still in the deep mountains, so if we want to rush back before the end of spring hunting, we must seize the time."

Cai Zhenjing, who was already quite 'in Cao's camp and in the heart of Han', had no objection when he heard Xu Yan's words. He nodded and replied: "Well, then let's set off quickly."

For Cai Zhenjing, although she instinctively hoped that her sect could win this spring hunt, in the end, when she learned that she had become a piece that could only be ruthlessly discarded in this battle for interests, she felt a little disappointed in her heart, and even made her loyalty and faith that had always been towards the sect was not as strong as before.

In this whole matter, Cai Zhenjing knew very well that Bai Bing was ruthlessly knocking Xu Yan down the cliff in order to ensure that Baihe Jianzhuang won the final victory in spring hunting, because only when he died, the golden hairpin stone orchid in his storage bag and the ginkgo fruit would not be sent back to the Lotus Sect.

But why did she also get knocked off the cliff together?

Now she thought that there should be one reason why she was unwilling to obey the other party's orders, which made the latter angry, but at the same time, there should be the latter's in that situation. So, in fact, Cai Zhenjing did not hate Bai Bing, or she even felt that in a sense, this also offset a lot of her inner burden in the sect's gratitude. It was precisely because of such a result that she felt that she would be more at ease when she did that after the spring hunting ended.

As for what the final result will be? She didn't know, so she could only leave it to fate.

Following Xu Yan, she continued to travel south along the winding stream in the valley. Cai Zhenjing was speechless. She was not the kind of woman who talked a lot. Only in her heart would she be like most women in the world, often imagining the joys, sorrows and sorrows from life. However, what she was thinking about in her heart was the only man in front of her.

"I went back to the past, and I didn't have to think about anything or worry about it. As long as I followed the other person closely, everything was decided by him." Cai Zhenjing thought so, but then she was angry at her rather 'shameless' emotion.

Because from birth to now, in the past twenty years, she has been accustomed to facing life and the unknown alone, so she really doesn't want the dependence on others like now. It's a pity that it's no longer controlled after she falls in love with the man in front of her.

...

After Xiao Cai woke up and reached the level 6 spirit beast, Xu Yan no longer had to work as hard as before. He needed to concentrate his attention and concentrate on this mountain and river, because compared to his own spiritual perception range, Xiao Cai, who could reach about ten miles, was undoubtedly much stronger than him.

Xiao Cai, who learned from Xu Yan that the whole thing that happened after he fell asleep, finally couldn't help but say to Xu Yan after Xu Yan stopped saying: "You human hearts are really complicated. You can also say that your savior can turn your back on your face. But you are too. In order to seek the sword technique, you can actually agree to accompany Bai Bing, who is obviously not a good thing, to search for treasure in Dushan. Alas, it's all my fault that I fell asleep too early, otherwise I would definitely not let you go. Look, you are retribution now, right? If I hadn't woken up in time at a critical moment, you might have fallen to death."

Without waiting for Xu Yan to say anything, Xiao Cai, who was in his sea of ​​consciousness, continued: "Also, you should have heard of the four words "Beauty and Beauty"? The fair beauty behind you almost made you fall into the hands of the monster in Mitsui River before. Unexpectedly, you were involved with her again. Xu Yan, you must have really fallen in love with her? I see that her attitude towards you now is quite a bit like a little bird."

"Don't talk nonsense."

Xu Yan's tone was calm and was not affected by Xiao Cai's teasing tone at all. He continued: "Even without Miss Cai, I would not have entered Sanjing River at most, but in other things, such as going deep into this Dushan, it has nothing to do with her."

Xiao Cai saw Xu Yan explaining, but she didn't care about it, but then she stopped talking about it and did not continue to make more jokes about the latter on this topic. She suddenly turned into another face and sighed worriedly, saying, "Hey, it doesn't matter, it doesn't matter whether you like her or not, what's the matter with me? But now we have fallen into the upper reaches of the Evil River, what should we do? If we just walk along the Evil River, and when we are about to walk out of the Yellow-Hawed Sword area, wouldn't we run to Sanjing River again?"

Xu Yan was helpless about this question.

After they walked along the evil stream for a whole day, he found that there was still only a steep and cold stone wall between the peaks on both sides of the valley, and there was no other fork for them to leave halfway. Therefore, they seemed to have no other choice except to keep walking south along the evil stream.

He was silent for a moment before he replied in a low tone: "Didn't you reach the level of a level six spirit beast now? In addition, I may not be able to fight that monster."

Xiao Cai heard that he was about to fight, and his tone suddenly became snoring and replied indifferently: "I'm entering level 6, yes, but that monster is really terrifying. You are not afraid because you haven't entered its body to feel its horror, but you have felt its red mist before. That poison is terrible, right? I tell you, it can be almost omnipresent, and even if my cultivation has improved a lot now, I still don't have much confidence. My real name venom can be compared with it. The most important thing is that if I spit out this mouthful of the original name venom, my cultivation may have to fall back to the level of a level 5 spirit beast. Then the inner elixirs, transformed grass, and the beast eggs of the crazy griffin I ate before will all be wasted..."

When Xu Yan heard Xiao Cai say this, how could Xu Yan not know her intention to avoid the war, and immediately said angrily: "Whether you can fight or not, we have to fight, unless you can find another way out and lead us to leave this evil stream. Otherwise, we will be about one day before we will reach the area of ​​Sanjing stream."

Seeing Xu Yan say this, Xiao Cai knew the geography of this mountain and river very well, but she didn't even think about it, so she said bluntly: "You don't have to test me... I can tell you clearly that you will definitely not be able to leave this evil stream before you learn to fly on the sword."

"That's it, so if you don't fight, you have to fight. Of course, if you really don't want to fight with that monster, it's not impossible. You just need to wait for it to be swallowed alive."

That is, Xiao Cai had not yet practiced to the transformation stage, otherwise she would have rolled her eyes after hearing Xu Yan's scoundrel words. However, in the end, it just muttered, "Didn't I complain before the incident comes? Isn't it really not to fight... Can I even complain a few words?"

When Xu Yan faced her childish words, she could only be speechless, and she was speechless.

...

Time flies.

The day passed quietly again.

It was almost noon, on the mountains of Baishanzu in Lingzhou, in the blue sky, there was no cloud. However, since it was already midsummer, the sunlight that was close to noon was quite hot when it shone on people.

However, even in such hot weather, there are still many disciples walking around in the martial arts training square of the Lotus Sect.

The heads of the major sects sitting in the tent had different expressions, because at this moment, there were only less than six days left before the end of the spring hunt, and none of the disciples they sent came back in advance to report the situation. However, around 3 o'clock today, on the downhill of the Lotus Sect, two young disciples finally walked back.

However, when they came to the martial arts square completely, the faces of the three leaders of Yunlan Sect, Ye Jiawen, the leader of Chenyang Sect, Wu Shixing, and Song Yu, the Supreme Elder of Chunzi Sect, could not help but be shocked by this.

In the end, Wu Shixing was the first to ask Wu Hao and said, "What's going on? Why did you come back so many days in advance? What about the others?"

When Wu Hao saw the father who was sitting on the master asked him a question, his face looked a little embarrassed and was thinking about how to answer, but immediately after them, a group of young disciples walked up from the downhill road. Wu Hao turned his head and looked at it. After seeing the four people clearly, the thick eyebrows and big eyes couldn't help but a slight chill in his eyes, but he didn't care too much about it. However, Zhou Xian, who was beside him, couldn't help but change his face when he saw the four people.

Ning Zhiyuan, a disciple of Xiazi Sect who did not successfully enter the top 20 in the previous selection competition, hurriedly stepped forward and asked, "Senior Brother, why is Senior Brother Qingshan's right arm gone?"

Han Yu, the Supreme Elder of Xiazi Sect, who was already sitting quietly in the main tent, saw this scene and immediately rushed to the four people. He looked at Chen Qingshan with a gloomy face. Without waiting for the latter to speak, he spoke directly: "Now don't say anything now. When everyone comes back, you will announce what you encountered in the spring hunting. Qinghe, you can send Qingshan back to Xiaolianhua Peak to heal the wounds. Qiaomu, you can go back and rest as well. Thank you for your hard work in this spring hunting."

Chen Qinghe immediately understood what his master meant and said in a deep voice: "Yes, master."

...

At this moment.

At the foot of the Huangmaojian Mountain of Baishanzu, in the evil stream.

As Xu Yan had expected before, they finally walked to the range of Sanjing River. However, after they saw the three strange pools clearly, whether it was Xu Yan, Cai Zhenjing, or Xiao Cai who had only a small head exposed in his cuffs, they all looked shocked.
