Sword Emperor of the Astonishing Sky

"Senior Brother Zhou Xinjun, why are you in such an embarrassing situation?"

"Elder Zheng Yuan, where is Junior Brother Lin Bai?"

Yi Zien, Li Juenian and others hurriedly approached to protect Zhou Xinjun and asked.

"Something went wrong in Tianzhu Peak. Elder Zheng Yuan fought hard with the Corpse King to buy time for me and Junior Brother Lin Bai to escape." Zhou Xinjun explained briefly.

"Don't worry, Junior Brother Lin Bai and I escaped successfully... Hey, Junior Brother Lin Bai hasn't come back yet? I remember he was walking in front of me."

Zhou Xinjun looked around, but found no sign of Lin Bai, and was a little surprised.

Yi Zien frowned upon hearing this.

Li Junian's face darkened and he asked coldly: "Senior Brother Zhou Xinjun, could you have taken advantage of the chaos to kill Junior Brother Lin Bai?"

Hearing Li Juenian's words, Yi Zien did not refute. Everyone knew about the grievances between Zhou Xinjun and Lin Bai.

Now Zhou Xinjun keeps saying that Lin Bai escaped from Tianzhu Peak with him.

But now, only Zhou Xinjun came back with serious injuries, while Lin Bai didn't know whether he was alive or dead.

This inevitably makes people wonder whether Zhou Xinjun secretly got rid of Lin Bai.

"I..." Zhou Xinjun was about to explain, but suddenly he remembered a person in his mind. This person was Lin Bai. He smiled bitterly: "Maybe Junior Brother Lin Bai's current situation is the same as mine."

"It's really... I can't argue with you!"

Zhou Xinjun had a bitter smile on his face, but Lin Bai did not come back. Li Juenian and Yi Zien immediately thought that Zhou Xinjun had killed Lin Bai, and Zhou Xinjun kept saying that he and Lin Bai escaped from Tianzhu Peak together.

At this moment, perhaps just like Lin Bai's current situation, when faced with Li Yuanzong's identification, even if he tried his best to defend himself that he did not kill Mu Huaqing, everyone already believed in their hearts that it was Mu Huaqing who killed him.

"I didn't kill Junior Brother Lin Bai. On the contrary, I was able to escape from Tianzhu Peak because Junior Brother Lin Bai saved me." Zhou Xinjun smiled bitterly for a while and explained.

"What about Junior Brother Lin Bai?" Li Juenian looked ugly and asked coldly.

Yi Zien said in a low voice: "Senior brother Zhou Xinjun, I know that you and junior brother Lin Bai have grudges, but after all, junior brother Lin Bai is one of the six candidates for the Holy Son, and he is also a warrior that the sect values ​​​​extremely."

"If he dies in your hands, I'm afraid many elders in the sect won't let you go easily."

Zhou Xinjun sighed bitterly, shook his head and said, "I didn't kill Junior Brother Lin Bai! I, Zhou Xinjun, have always acted with integrity throughout my life. If I say I didn't kill him, then I didn't kill him."

"If it's really me who killed Junior Brother Lin Bai, I certainly won't deny it!"

When he said these words, Lin Bai's figure appeared in Zhou Xinjun's mind involuntarily.

Aren't these words exactly what Lin Bai said to him just now?

At this moment, Zhou Xinjun was a little shaken. Was it really not Lin Bai who killed Mu Huaqing?

"Since you keep saying you didn't kill Junior Brother Lin Bai, what about Junior Brother Lin Bai?" Li Junian asked again.

Zhou Xinjun shook his head and said, "I don't know either!"

Li Juenian was about to get angry, but was held down by Yi Zien.

"Junior Brother Li Juenian, please be patient. You wait here while I look for Junior Brother Lin Bai." Yi Zien comforted Li Juenian and suggested that he go find Lin Bai.

At this time.

A voice came from the wind and snow.

"No need, I'm back."

Hearing the sound, everyone turned around and saw a man in the wind and snow flying on a flying sword, quickly passing through the sky and appearing in front of everyone.

This person is none other than Lin Bai, who broke out of the siege.

Although several people were relieved to see that Lin Bai's life was safe, they could still see that Lin Bai's face was pale and his energy and blood were frivolous. He had obviously experienced a big battle.

Moreover, Lin Bai's body was still tainted with a strong aura of death. It was obvious that the people who fought against him were all corpse puppets.

"If you don't come back, I guess Junior Brother Li Juenian will draw his sword and kill me." Zhou Xinjun looked at Lin Bai who came back with a bitter smile on his lips.

"It feels uncomfortable to be misunderstood." Lin Bai laughed. Lin Bai heard their conversation just now from a distance and understood what happened.

Li Juenian and Yi Zien stepped forward and asked, "What happened?"

Lin Bai said: "There can be changes in Tianzhu Peak. We can't stay here anymore. Let's go back to the Demon Refining Tower and talk about it."

Yi Zien asked: "What about Elder Zheng Yuan?"

"Elder Zheng Yuan asked us to leave first. After we leave, he will naturally find a way to escape!" Lin Bai relayed Zheng Yuan's words to Yi Zien and others.

"Senior Brother Zhou Xinjun, is this what Elder Zheng Yuan meant?" Yi Zien asked Zhou Xinjun again.

Zhou Xinjun nodded slightly: "We will return to the Demon Refining City first, and then summon all the experienced warriors in the Demon Refining Tower to return to the Demon Refining City in case of emergency."

Zhou Xinjun's words are very obvious. He summoned all the experienced warriors in the Demon Refining Tower to return to the Demon Refining City. The words "just in case of emergencies" are obviously to prepare for a big war!

Yi Zien and Li Juenian nodded, immediately helped Zhou Xinjun up, and they quickly left the ice field and returned to Demon Refining City.

…

Ice field, on top of a certain mountain.

On the top of this mountain peak, there is a crooked-necked tree that has been frozen into an ice sculpture.

At this moment, a crow stood on a branch, its black jewel-like eyes looking at everything happening at Tianzhu Peak in the distance, its eyes sparkling and thoughtful.

"Long time no see, senior."

At this moment, a gentle and pleasant female voice came from behind the crow.

Crow acted calmly, as if he was not surprised at all by the woman's appearance.

The next moment, Crow twisted his neck slightly, glanced sideways at the woman in red who appeared in the wind and snow behind him, and whispered: "Don't call me senior, I have nothing to do with you."

"Haha." The woman in red smiled softly and asked, "Have you still not found the memory of your predecessor? Or is it still the same as usual, sometimes good and sometimes bad?"

"None of your business!" Crow snorted.

The crow responded indifferently, and the woman in red was not angry. She took two steps forward and followed the crow's eyes. She happened to see the scene on the ice field where Lin Bai used the sky-devouring realm to kill the bronze corpse.

"That little guy from the Sky Devouring Clan, including the fragment he got from me, he has four fragments in his body!" the woman in red whispered.

"I remember that senior seemed to be looking for the fragments as well, so why not take them as your own?"

Crow glanced at the woman in red and said: "I advise you not to seek his attention, otherwise, even if you are one of the saint ancestors of the Nine Nether Demon Palace, you will die without a complete body!"

"Although the Swallowing Heaven Clan is one of the ancient clans of gods, they are not invincible. If they are injured, they will bleed and die." The woman in red said with a smile.

"Really? Then try touching him." Crow said with a hint of provocation.

The woman in red was stunned for a moment. In her memory, Crow was a master who was fearless. How could he be so afraid of Lin Bai?

"Senior, are you afraid of this little guy?" the woman in red asked with a smile.

Crow glared and shouted: "I'm not afraid of him! I don't want to get in trouble! Once he is targeted by the strong man standing behind him, there will be no good life."

"The strong man behind him? Who is it?" the woman in red asked.

"Yes..." Crow was about to answer, but suddenly a cunning look appeared in his eyes. He smiled and said to the woman in red: "You bad woman, you are trying to trick me again! This time I won't be fooled!"

"If you want to know who the strong man is standing behind him, then you can try to touch him!"

"I'm leaving, farewell!"

After saying that, the crow flapped its wings and flew away, disappearing into the wind and snow.
