This red mist with a charming fragrance was like a mountain torrent after being smashed into the embankment, surging out from the valley, which shocked Zhou Yu and others, who were not too far from the entrance of the valley. Then, after feeling another extremely terrifying aura in the red mist, Zhou Yu couldn't help but shout: "This fog is poisonous, don't let it get stuck, run away!"

As soon as he finished speaking, Zhou Yu, Zhou Xian, Wu Hao, and Yan Ziyi, who was the best at running away, instantly shot out and moved away from the valley.

However, although they were far away from the valley at the first time, two disciples of the Yunlan Sect, as well as an inner disciple of the Chunzi Sect who followed Zhou Xian, were immediately completely flooded by the overwhelming red fog because they were standing too close to the valley and were slightly slower when they were moving.

No one could see the three people who were flooded by this red mist again, because the moment they were touched by the red mist, their bodies were completely corroded into a pile of white bones by the toxicity contained in the mist.

After leading Zhou Yu and others, Xu Yan and Cai Zhenjing did not dare to keep it, so they ran south as quickly as possible. But after just half an hour, Xu Yan felt that the disciple of Chenyang Sect named Wu Hao behind him was constantly narrowing their distance with them.

Faced with this situation, Xu Yan had no choice, because he knew that with Cai Zhenjing's cultivation level, it was a miracle that could delay this level. So, after the two of them continued to run out for more than ten miles, Xu Yan sent a voice to Cai Zhenjing beside him, saying, "There is no choice, we can only leave separately, otherwise we will be caught by Wu Hao. Once we are entangled by him, the disciples of Yunlan Sect behind us will also quickly encircle and suppress them. By then, we will not be able to leave."

Cai Zhenjing never felt that Wu Hao was constantly approaching him, but he had no choice but to nod his speed.

Seeing that she agreed, Xu Yan continued to say to her: "If you want to survive, I advise you to run south. As long as you follow the road ahead and keep walking straight, you can go to the southmost point of the mountain. Once you leave the mountain range, you will have a great chance of returning to the Lotus Sect smoothly. After all, you are the only one left in your Baihe Jianzhuang this time. Even if you continue to stay and participate in spring hunting, it will not have much impact on the final result. On the contrary, if you are not lucky enough, then when you meet someone from other sects, you will really likely fall in this deep mountain forest. Of course, the final decision is still in your own hands, but whether to go or stay, you have to make a choice quickly, because in a moment, Wu Hao will completely catch up with us."

After hearing this, Cai Zhenjing hesitated without hesitation, so he turned to the right and rushed straight towards the road that Xu Yan said.

Seeing that her choice was so decisive, Xu Yan was stunned. A cold light flashed in his deep eyes, and he couldn't help but think in his heart, "Am I really thinking wrong?"

No one can answer him.

Unlike Cai Zhenjing, Xu Yan's escape direction could not rush to the south, because the place he was going to was yellow-haired sharp, so he had to rush to the southeast.

At this moment, the ten-day period that he had discussed with Chen Qinghe and others at the beginning was already two days longer. Therefore, Xu Yan guessed that they had left Shangxieling long ago and entered the Huangmaojian realm first after they failed to wait until they could make an appointment in time.

But this is not a big problem. Anyway, he is used to acting alone. As long as he can successfully get rid of these pursuers behind him and successfully enter the Huangmaojian field, he will naturally have a chance to find Chen Qinghe and the others.

Without Cai Zhenjing's ties, Xu Yan could undoubtedly use his all to escape, but he did not do this from the beginning, because he wanted to see who Zhou Yu and others would pursue after seeing him and Cai Zhenjing's division. But after a moment, he understood this, because he saw that Zhou Yu only sent two disciples of Yunlan Sect to pursue Cai Zhenjing, while Zhou Yu himself and Zhou Xian, Wu Hao and others all chased him.

Xu Yan was not particularly surprised by this result, but couldn't help but smile bitterly, thinking in his heart that it seemed that he was really trying to force these miscellaneous people.

Finally, after learning the last conclusion, Xu Yan no longer had any concerns. He immediately reached out and slapped his chest hard, spitting out the blood stasis that had been blocked in his body after punching Wu Hao. Without this blood stasis, Xu Yan felt that his breathing was much smoother. Although this made his internal injuries worse, it was better than having such a small thing stuck in his body that made him feel uncomfortable.

Xu Yan took out the storage bag that Wang Chu gave him, and took the few healing pills in the porcelain bottle while running. When Wu Hao pulled the distance to only twenty feet left with him, he thought he would catch up with him immediately, Xu Yan suddenly accelerated and burst out with a real speed of running.

Without any reservation, even after the bombing, he had already realized that the opponent's martial arts cultivation was one level higher than himself, but Xu Yan still had enough confidence to completely get rid of the opponent, because even if he didn't say that his understanding of martial arts was much deeper than Wu Hao, even if he had a solid foundation in each realm, he was much more solid than Wu Hao.

Seeing that he was about to catch up, but was instantly pulled away by the other party, Wu Hao's face was as gloomy as a piece of ice, because he finally realized that although the guy named Xu Yan in front of him was not as strong as him, his speed was faster than him.

"Xu Yan, I will kill you!"

Hearing the angry roar from behind, but after a quarter of an hour, Xu Yan, who had been away from him for a full hundred feet, did not care at all. Then he saw that the other party's figure disappeared from the end of his vision, so he suddenly turned his head and rushed into a narrow path that only he and Bai Bing knew, and then rushed to the direction of the yellow hairy tip with all his strength.

...

"Senior Brother Bai, junior brother...will he already..." After about two hours after walking out of the foggy forest, Bai Bing and his group heard a sound hesitantly.

After Bai Bing heard this, he didn't know what words to use to describe his beautiful face. He was silent for a long time, but he still didn't know how to answer.

From Shangxieling to Chen Qinghe and the others, they went north and then south. It took them almost three days during this period, but it was obvious that they did not find Xu Yan. Although Bai Bing had the opportunity to take the four of them to search north along the Evil River, for safety reasons, he did not choose to do that.

"No, the younger brother, auspicious, will definitely not be able to do anything. Maybe we just passed him by, maybe he had already returned to Shangxieling before us and met with the older brother and the others." After saying this, not only was Bai Bing and others unable to believe it, but Qiu Yuanjin himself was actually not sure.

"Hey!" Bai Bing sighed and said, "I just hope the result will be as Junior Sister Qiu said."

At this moment, a slight movement suddenly sounded in a dense forest behind them, and something that created this movement seemed to be constantly approaching them.

Bai Bing shouted suddenly: "Who is it?"

Seeing that he had just arrived here and had relieved the movement and was still noticed by the other party, Xu Yan smiled helplessly and thought to himself that Bai Bing was much stronger than he imagined.

Xu Yan quickly walked out of the forest and replied, "It's me."

Hearing this familiar voice, Bai Bing and Gu Xueqing's faces were undoubtedly happy. When Xu Yan completely walked up to them, Bai Bing breathed a sigh of relief and said, "Little Junior Brother, you finally appeared. We thought you..." Bai Bing did not continue to say anything, as if he felt that it would be a bit unlucky to say those words at this moment, and just shook his head.

Xu Yan's face was still not very good at this moment, and he looked very pale.

Wu Hao's punch was actually much more severe than the situation that Zhou Yu and others saw at that time. It can be said that the other party's punch that reached the sixth level really caused him to suffer considerable internal injuries. However, after adjusting his breathing along the way, he cooperated with the healing pills given to him by Wang Chusai and his mysterious healing method, he finally relieved a lot.

Before Xu Yan could speak, Bai Bing continued, "By the way, junior brother, we went to the northern hinterland to find you before, but after reaching the border of Mount Bei, we still didn't see you, and we didn't meet disciples from the other three major sects. Where did you go at that time?"

Xu Yan did not hide this and said calmly: "If Senior Brother Bai was referring to yesterday, I was near Sanjingxi at that time, well, they were there too."

Bai Bing heard his answer, thinking that it was true. After pondering for a while, he asked with a hint of curiosity on his face: "Isn't Sanjingxi very dangerous? And there doesn't seem to be a golden hairpin, Shilan there, why did the younger brother run there?"

Xu Yan wanted to explain this issue thoroughly, but he couldn't do it for a while. So he could only walk with Bai Bing and others on one of the shortcuts and trails recorded on the map, which was originally given to him by the other party, while explaining in detail the experiences he had suffered in the past few days.

Of course, during this period, he saved the part of himself in saving Cai Zhenjing. After all, this matter was too sensitive. He could not tell Bai Bing and others no matter what. He only said that after he was seriously injured by Zhou Yu and others, he was forced to escape to Sanjingxi, and then he had many subsequent experiences.

It took Xu Yan almost a quarter of an hour from the beginning to the end. During his talk, the expressions of Bai Bing and others can be described as complex, including surprise, worry, shock, and lingering fear. Even when talking about the disciples of Baihe Jianzhuang who were completely dead this time, Xu Yan carefully discovered that Bai Bing, who was taken away in front of him, could not help but pale. The face full of wind and frost had a very ugly white look.

"What I said above is all my experiences in the past few days." Finally, Xu Yan smiled bitterly on his face, ending all his expressions with this sentence.

Bai Bing and the other two heard Xu Yan describe all the processes over the past few days in an understatement, but they still couldn't help but sigh at his experience.

Bai Bing, whose face had recovered as usual, turned his head to Xu Yan with a hint of sympathy on his face and said, "I didn't expect that the younger brother would have experienced so many risks in these few days." He sighed as if he was empathetic, and continued, "Fortunately, you finally successfully grabbed the golden hairpin stone orchid from Zhou Yu's hand, otherwise it would be a bit unworthy of the loss. However, the younger brother must not act so recklessly again in the future. You are taking your life to exchange for the golden hairpin stone orchid, the price is too high."

Seeing Xu Yan nodding in agreement with a smile, Bai Bing continued to say to him: "In my opinion, it is better for the junior brother to act with us in the next two tasks!"

Gu Xueqing, who was walking on one side, had already had similar experiences as Xu Yan's own actions before, and there was a disciple named Wen Zheng who had died in an extremely miserable way. Therefore, she undoubtedly agreed with Bai Bing's team action proposed at this moment. She knew that if she acted alone, not to mention that the spirit beasts in the Yellow-Haired Sword would be stronger than those in the mountain of Mount Bei, even if she accidentally met Zhou Xian, who was inserted into the Lotus Sect and became a traitor, she would definitely be doomed. After all, after Xu Yan successfully escaped, Zhou Xian was equivalent to directly exposing his original identity.

Gu Xueqing didn't even need to think about it carefully. If Zhou Xian met him in private, or a single disciple of the Lotus Sect, the other party would never have the idea of ​​showing mercy about it, but would choose to kill someone without hesitation.

However, at this moment, when Xu Yan heard Bai Bing say this, he felt that he was a little different from Gu Xueqing, because only he could realize that the other party deliberately said to him seemed very normal, but in fact there was another meaning, that is, Bai Bing wanted to form a team with him in advance.

Originally, Xu Yan had indeed promised Bai Bing to form a team with him in this spring hunting, but the other party's proposal at that time meant that after the three tasks of spring hunting, they did so only after the two entered Dushan. But at present, the other party undoubtedly had a very good time to choose and sent an invitation in advance.

Xu Yan thought for a moment, and finally shook his head to Bai Bing’s proposal and replied bluntly: “I will still choose to act alone for the next two tasks.”

When Bai Bing heard this answer, he couldn't help but raise his eyebrows, and asked a little ugly: "Junior brother, why is this? Huangmaojian is not climbing the back mountain. The spirit beasts there are very likely to have exceeded level three, and you know that Zhou Xian and the others..."

He noticed that there was a hint of dissatisfaction in the other party's tone, but Xu Yan did not let him continue to say it, but replied in a faint tone: "I am naturally very clear about what Senior Brother Bai said, but I am indeed used to acting alone and following the team, but I cannot exert my strength."

Seeing that Bai Bing wanted to say something, Xu Yan suddenly smiled and said, "Senior Brother Bai, don't worry, didn't I grab the golden hairpin Shilan from Zhou Yu's hands? The next task is to hunt spirit beasts and dig out their inner elixirs. As long as I don't take the initiative to grab Zhou Yu and the inner elixirs, there will be no problem. Moreover, if I encounter spirit beasts with a higher level than me, I will naturally not deal with them brainlessly."

Bai Bing finally gave up and continued to persuade, but replied, "Oh, since that's the case, then let's do it. Remember to pay attention to safety. After all, our spring hunting has just begun."

Hearing the other party's tone intensified his tone on the word "beginning", Xu Yan naturally understood the other party's pun. He did not answer, but nodded with understanding.

...

Due to the map that Bai Bing obtained from the so-called "trail", after entering this shortcut, Xu Yan and his six men walked southeastward without encountering any crisis again. Even a spirit beast had not encountered one. Therefore, after everyone walked for about four hours, they finally arrived at the junction of Chongbei Mountain and Huangmaojian, Shangxieling.

At this time, it was approaching night and dusk was approaching. However, at Shangxie Ridge, there was a bonfire open. No one knew that this kind of bonfire had actually been on the spot for several days.

When Chen Qinghe saw Xu Yan, Bai Bing and others coming back safely, he couldn't help but look happy and went forward and said, "It's good that you're back safely. If you don't come back, I'll set off to find you."

Xu Yan had a good impression of Chen Qinghe, but he couldn't help but smile and shook his head when he said this.

Afterwards, Chen Qinghe saw that Zhou Xian and other disciples of the Chunzi sect were not seen in the team. He was not aware of the situation and asked curiously: "By the way, why didn't Zhou Xian and the others?"

In Chen Qinghe's perception, Zhou Xian certainly had a lot of celebrations with Xu Yan and was a bit arrogant and domineering in the sect, but when facing major events such as Baishan Chunhunting involving the sect's position, he always felt that the other party was also a member of the Lotus Sect, so he naturally had to treat them equally. But unfortunately, after Xu Yan answered him next, his face instantly turned into earthy colors.
