Zi Feng was unable to dodge the dagger that had just been aimed at his chest. Just as the dagger was about to pierce Zi Feng's chest, the black-clothed man suddenly stopped and looked down. After a moment of sluggishness, Fa Ming, who had come back to his senses, pulled Zi Feng, who was about to fall, over.
After stabilizing himself, Zi Feng panted as he looked at the man in black. He had been in such danger just now. If it weren't for the fact that You You had taken a bite at that man in black, he would have died today.
When the man in black saw that his efforts had failed, his eyes turned sinister. Seeing You, who had already escaped not too far away, he shook his head helplessly. He had indeed failed today.
Although he was angry, he was still confused. He turned around and was about to leave. He knew that it was not a wise choice for an assassin to face his prey head on. Even if it was an opponent weaker than him, a mature assassin would never reveal his strength.
The black clothed person quickly retreated. He wanted to quickly leave, but the Netherworld Udumbara Flower who had bitten him just now had quickly caught up and blocked his path.
Zi Feng, who was standing behind him, also turned around in panic and hurriedly chased after him. For a moment, the black-clothed man was surrounded by Zi Feng and the others.
The black-clothed man turned around and glanced at Zi Feng with interest. He thought to himself, 'As expected of the top ten martial artists in the top ten, his reaction speed is exceptionally quick!'
Zi Yan saw the raging expression in the black-clothed man's eyes, and her emotions couldn't help but change. Seeing the change in Zi Feng's mood, the expression in the black clothed man's eyes became even more provocative.
However, just as the black-clothed person succeeded on his own, the purple-haired youth laughed strangely and sent a flying sword flying over.
When the black-clothed man saw this sudden change, he was somewhat surprised. But after a moment, he regained his senses and used the dagger in his hand to strike at Zi Feng's sword.
The two swords clashed, causing sparks to fly. At the side, Farmer also refined the buddhist beads in his hand. Seeing this attack, the black-clothed assassin frowned. He didn't think that the two of them would actually cooperate so well.
The Netherworld standing beside Zi Feng similarly used its sharp claws to attack the legs of the black clothed man. Of course, Xiao Bai followed behind the Netherworld and joined in the fun as its two little claws continued to play with them. Not long after, the black-clothed person was forced into a disadvantageous position by them.
Seeing this, they were about to subdue the black-clothed man. Who would have thought that the black-clothed man would suddenly scatter the white powder. Zi Feng and the others' eyes instantly blurred. By the time they clearly saw their surroundings, the black-clothed man was no longer there.
Zi Feng helplessly shook his head when he saw this scene. From the short moment they had exchanged blows, that black-clothed man's cultivation was not bad at all even though he was in the early stage of the Emptiness Realm.
Seeing the man in black who tried to assassinate him becoming stronger and stronger, Zi Feng frowned. Throughout the entire cultivation world, only a handful of cultivators were able to reach the Emptiness Realm. Currently, most of the ordinary cultivators were only at the Emptiness Realm. Those who were able to break through that barrier were mostly those experienced old sects.
Fa Ming, who was standing to the side, recovered from the earlier scene and asked Zi Feng, "What happened?"
He smiled helplessly and took out the pale yellow jade pendant from his chest. When he saw the pale yellow jade pendant again, Fa Ming understood a bit more.
Zi Feng squatted down and twisted the white powder on the ground, then suddenly stood up. He stared at the northwest corner, as though he had thought of something.
Farmer, who was standing next to Zi Feng, asked, "What's wrong?" Zi Feng turned around and said, "Look." As he spoke, he raised his right hand that was covered in white powder. Fa Ming looked at the white powder and said doubtfully, "Isn't this the Bewitching Powder that the man in black used to escape?"
When Zi Feng heard Fa Ming's words, he smiled and said, "That's right, it was left behind by that black-clothed man." He paused for a moment before continuing in a somewhat aged voice, "Many years ago, I came to this Western Region. At that time, I passed by a small village and saw …"
As he spoke, he waved his right hand, and the white powder followed him. Hearing this, Fa Ming seemed to understand something. He said with an excited expression, "In other words, we have a goal now."
Zi Feng nodded in response as he heard Farmer Ming's excited voice.
Now that the situation had developed to this point, both of them couldn't help but let out a long sigh of relief. Stepping into the Western Border, they had always been walking randomly, aimlessly, and that kind of feeling made them very uncomfortable.
Now that they finally had a destination, even if it was a tiger cave or a dragon lagoon, they would still dare to go through it.
An instant later, they readied their hearts and under the lead of Zi Feng, they set off on their journey.
The short period of half a month was long and long. Zi Feng sighed in relief as he looked at the faintly discernible existence before him. He turned his head to Fa Ming and said, "We have arrived." With that, he started to descend.
Standing beside Zi Feng was another person who had an alarmed look on his face as he looked at the ordinary looking little town. There was a faint trace of unease in his heart. It was as if he was treading on thin ice in the midst of the great wasteland.
However, Zi Feng didn't notice his unease in the slightest. Zi Feng looked at the approaching village and couldn't help but reveal a happy expression. Once he got here, he would be able to find the whereabouts of Bai Lian and the mastermind behind it. Thinking of this, Zi Feng couldn't help but increase his speed.
After a while, the Violet Maple Transformation landed on the ground. Looking at the small town not far away, Zi Feng said, "Let's go." As he spoke, he strode towards the peaceful village.
Fa Ming followed him unwillingly. However, his name also lingered on the spot for a while, but in the end, he still followed Zi Feng. Although the Netherworld felt panicked, he could not catch any signs of danger.
Thus, he could only follow them. Xiao Bai, who was following closely behind Zi Feng, had an excited look on its face because it had not eaten much during this half month of travelling. Now that it saw Xiao Bai and knew that its good days were here, how could it not be happy?
After walking into the village, Zi Feng felt like he was returning home. After all, he had once spent half a year in a small village like this.
Seeing the scene before his eyes, Zi Feng's memories of the many years in slumber gradually came back to him. The little girl called Erya, the tanned man next door and the kind and hospitable Old Village Chief. Thinking of this, Zi Feng couldn't help but feel a lot of worry, a lot of reluctance.
After a moment, Zi Feng let out a long sigh of relief and muttered, "When everything is settled, I must go back and see them." As he spoke, he entered the village.
As he slowly walked through the village, Zi Feng discovered a strange phenomenon. He couldn't help but look around the village when he realized that they were all in their prime.
She remembered a few years ago, when she was still young and full of age, but now she was like this. Zi Feng looked at the villagers coming and going with a puzzled expression. Beside him, Fa Ming couldn't help but feel suspicious. He walked up to one of the men and asked, "What's going on here? Why …"
Before he could finish, the robust man hastily dodged to the side. Seeing this, Fa Ming turned his head and looked at Zi Feng in confusion.
As for Fa Ming, he saw Zi Feng's eyes staring at the two men who were carrying an item not too far away.
In a split-second, Zi Feng suddenly blocked the two burly men who were carrying the bags. With a wave of his finger, the bag was ripped open. Seeing this powder, Zi Feng excitedly asked the muscular man in front of him, "Where did you send this powder?" Just as the man was about to speak, a non-standard shot out from a nearby corner and the man fell to the ground.
Zi Feng and Fa Ming chased after the direction the darts came from. You An also chased after them hastily while Xiao Bai ran into a house not far away.
Not long after, Zi Feng and the others caught up to the person who had fired the darts. The man looked at the violet-haired youth chasing after him with fear. His legs were trembling as he screamed, "Don't kill me! Don't kill me! I was also forced to do this!"
Zi Feng laughed when he saw the look of fear on his face, "Are you afraid?" As he spoke, he looked at the skinny man in front of him who looked as terrified as a little deer.
Seeing the purple-haired youth in front of him like this, the skinny man rolled his eyes and said, "Don't kill me. I will tell you everything you want to know." After saying that, he kneeled on the ground and started begging. Zi Feng smiled and said, "That will depend on your performance."
As he spoke, he leaned against a tree to rest, waiting for the skinny man's answer. When the skinny man saw the violet-haired youth in front of him like this, he let out a long sigh of relief. He knew that he had already recovered half of his life.
After a moment, the shriveled man said, "This little village was originally very peaceful and peaceful. People are living the life of a rising sun, the sun is setting, and although life is a bit bitter, the family is very happy.
However, two years ago, a group of black clothed people suddenly appeared here. They captured all of the women, children, and old people in the village, leaving only the strong man behind so that they could unceasingly mine the things that they have lost. " After saying that, he flew off in a dejected manner.
Seeing him act this way, Fa Ming could not help but ask, "Are you from this village?" After saying this, the skinny man choked with emotions and continued, "Hmm, I just got married and saw them take my wife away, but I couldn't do anything. I've been living for so long just to see her again."
As he said this, he couldn't help but tear up. When Zi Feng heard his words, his heart couldn't help but be moved. He could feel the heartache of helplessness because a month ago, he had just helplessly watched her get married.
Thinking of this, Zi Feng couldn't help but feel dejected. He suddenly patted the bamboo next to him and fiercely said, "I must find you. I can't help but do this for myself, and even more so for this family that you have broken up." Because Zi Feng had never had a complete family since he was young, he was very sensitive to the concept of home.
When the skinny man heard this, his voice grew excited. "You have to help me find my lost wife, because when we were taken away, she was already two months pregnant."
As he spoke, his tears flowed again. All this time, his master had always taught him how to do good deeds, but now that he had heard such an unforgivable thing, how could he not be shocked? The two of them looked at each other and quietly immersed themselves in the thin man's memories.
The man seemed to recall something and stood up. He pointed at the southwest corner and said, "It's that …" Before the skinny man could say anything, black blood flowed out from the corner of his mouth. His eyes were wide open as he stared at the purple-haired youth in front of him. He seemed to be about to say something, but no words came out of his mouth. Zi Feng looked at the skinny man in front of him and muttered, "Don't worry, I will find your lost wife and take good care of your child."
When the shriveled man heard the violet-haired youth's words, he closed his eyes peacefully. When Fa Ming saw the skinny man in front of him, he said, "He has always been relying on his faith. Look over there." As he spoke, he pointed at the skinny man's neck.
Purple Maple looked in the direction that Farmer pointed, nodded, and said, "That power is really vicious." As he spoke, he looked towards the southwest.
