Tong Mu was lying on the ground, with another scar on his body, blood overflowed from the corner of his mouth, and his face was extremely pale.

"I'm really not reconciled..."

His voice seemed a little weak.

Yun Xi raised his sword: "I won't kill you, but you still have to suffer."

Tongmu and the others were able to close the Bianhua, and the forces behind it should not be small. The powerful forces in the Tianling Continent that are not from the Tianling League... This matter must be reported to the Tianling League. As the task executor of this force, Tongmu naturally knows what he knows No less.

A smile appeared on Tong Mu's pale face, even in this embarrassment, he still looked at Yun Xi with mocking eyes.

"Although you have won, you can't leave me behind."

Tongmu opened his palm, which was a small piece of jade. He squeezed it hard, and the jade shattered, and an extreme white glow emanated from his hand, instantly covering the entire space.

"It happened!"

Yun Xi sensed that he was about to escape, and immediately tried to stop him.

Whoa!

The palm of her hand passed through the afterimage of the paulownia wood, and she missed it.

The white awns dissipated, and the cave was filled with red light, and the ground was covered with green leaves, but there was no sign of paulownia.

"The art of space?"

Yun Xi frowned, and was able to use the space ability to escape, which showed that the person behind Tongmu was at least at the Yunling Realm.

Time was running out, so she didn't get too entangled in this matter. She turned her head and looked at the green leaves all over the ground. Yun Xi waved her hand and collected all the leaf blades.

These leaf blades are of special quality. Although they are not spirit weapons, they are not made of ordinary refined iron. They are of extremely high quality. Even her spirit sword can hardly damage them. Leafblade finds some clues.

After accepting these leaf blades, Yun Xi continued to move forward.

After passing through the third cave, the road ahead seemed a bit long. Yun Xi went through several bends and finally saw the exit.

Without going in rashly, Yun Xi paused at the exit for a moment, spread his spiritual consciousness, and only stepped in after confirming that there was no danger.

As soon as she entered the world, Yun Xi felt an indescribably strange aura. This aura was similar to the dead silence she felt when she first entered the barren land, but there was a hint of life in it.

There was a gentle breeze blowing from the ground, coming from all directions, and the slight pulling feeling seemed to suck something from Yun Xi's body.

The spiritual pulse in the body was beating, and the spiritual power flowed all over the body. Yun Xi was not afraid of the strange things around him, and stared ahead.

The red-glowing tree roots coiled from all directions, like winding snakes. They were either as strong as barrels or as thin as beards, and gathered toward the center to worship.

In the center of this cave, ten thousand roots are condensed, and these roots and branches are intertwined and entangled with each other, condensing into a strange shape, like a flower or a grass.

The flowers and plants stood facing down, and a red-haired girl floated quietly below. The red mist flowed out of her body and was completely absorbed by the roots of the tree.

"This is... life energy and blood!"

Yimeng's exclamation echoed in Yunxi's mind, and its purple eyes looked through Yunxi's eyes in shock at the girl in front of him.

"What a powerful blood, even the Heavenly Beast Flame Lion in the Yunling Realm is not as good as her!"

When Yun Xi heard this, her heart skipped a beat, and at the same time she finally understood what this strange feeling was. This towering blood tree was sucking the blood of the child in front of her. She came in and felt uneasy because she was affected by it.

Sucking life...

Yun Xi's beautiful eyes stared suddenly. It's no wonder that Yuan Huan only had bones left in just a few days. It's no wonder that there is no trace of aura in the barren city. The creatures here probably feed on the aura and blood of life.

'Who is this child?Tongmu has been blocking me, just to let this tree absorb her completely? '

Yun Xi looked at the intertwined roots, each of which was blood red.

These... all come from this child's blood?

Yun Xi was furious and wanted to save the child, but when she was five meters away from the center of the tree root, a transparent barrier blocked her.

There are also formations here.

There are not only formations.

"Who are you?!"

After getting close to the center of the tree root, Yun Xi just saw that under the floating figure, there was another figure hiding in a corner of the barrier, his aura was completely restrained, if it wasn't for what he saw with his eyes, Yun Xi didn't even know that there was still a hole here. Hiding a person.

Hearing Yun Xi's shout, the man turned around slowly just now. This is a young man with long light blue hair, a handsome face, slightly pale face, and a weak scholar's look all over his body. temperament.

When he saw Yun Xi, he rolled his eyes, and his voice came out through the barrier: "Qingyan and Tongmu both lost? In the late stage of Chuling, shouldn't...you still have a helper?"

His voice was also soft, and the rhythm of his speech was neither fast nor slow, which was slightly soothing, but it brought great pressure to Yun Xi.

"who are you?"

Yun Xi stared into his eyes.

"Me?" The young man smiled, "You can call me Fengming, but I prefer to be called Master Feng."

"Master?" Yun Xi reacted instantly, "You arranged these formations?"

Feng Ming said: "It's just some small tricks. You can come here, it seems that you have a lot of accomplishments in formation."

Yun Xi looked up at the figure floating in the air, and asked, "What do you want to do?"

Feng Ming smiled: "Naturally, this deserted city was destroyed."

With a flash of sword light, Yun Xi held Ningshuang sword tightly: "To destroy a dead city, you don't need to kill people!"

Although she couldn't understand what Fengming and the others wanted to do, she could tell that they were sacrificing the child's life.

Yun Xi was still a kind person in essence, it would be fine if he didn't know about it, but now that he saw it with his own eyes, how could he remain indifferent.

Fengming looked at her strangely: "In this world, sacrifices must be made, let alone..."

He looked up at the figure in midair.

"She was born because of this. This is her responsibility and she cannot escape."

As he said that, Feng Ming showed a puzzled look: "It seems that you have entered this city, but you don't know the root of this city?"

"fundamental?"

Yun Xi is puzzled, the barren city is very famous in the Tianling Continent, and it is said in the world that the barren city is one of the four dangerous places in Tianling, and the desolate fog can eat people's hearts, but anyone who enters this city, unless they are powerful, are all Doomed.

But it seems... no one has ever said why this desolate fog was created, and even Yun Xi didn't know that the birth of the desolate fog came from the Bianhua in the desolate city until after he came.

How was the other shore flower born?What happened to the blood tree Red River in the city?

None of these folks have mentioned it, and there is no half rumor.

Is there any secret in it?

Seeing that Yun Xi was really lost in thought, Feng Ming was sure that this stunned young man broke in without knowing anything, he couldn't help but smile.

Feng Ming said leisurely: "The reason why the barren city is known as the dead city is because this blood tree needs to eat life, energy and blood to grow, so any living beings entering this city will inevitably be attacked by those trees."

"You can understand the desolate mist as the poisonous gas released by this tree. It is not powerful in itself, but relying on the characteristics of the desolate mist and the small trees it spawned, no one under luck can escape this city."

Feng Ming was very generous, and told Yun Xi everything he knew: "We came here this time to destroy this city. Destroying it is actually very simple, that is to satisfy its energy and blood needs. Once the blood tree When the absorbed life qi and blood are saturated, it will wither and bear a fruit of the Holy Spirit. After the fruit is finished, the tree will die."

He looked up and looked at the child who was greedily absorbed by the blood tree, his eyes were calm: "Just as she was born to make the blood tree mature, the mission of this blood tree is to bear the only fruit of the Holy Spirit in this life."

"Once the fruit of the holy spirit bears fruit, all the trees and flowers in the barren city will die, and the desolate fog will disappear from this world. From then on, there are only three of the four major dangers in Tianling, and the people who will die because of it will also die." will be reduced a lot.”

Feng Ming turned his head to look at Yun Xi, and said with a faint smile, "This is a good thing. The death of one person is used to exchange the lives of thousands of souls in the future. Why? Such righteousness, you want to stop it?"

Yun Xi's eyes were cold, unmoved, and said: "In this case, why don't you offer yourself? Even if you don't have enough energy and blood, what about Tongmu and Qingyan? And those people behind you? What? You Does the righteousness that you keep talking about come true by killing a child?"

Yun Xi's words changed Feng Ming's expression slightly, he looked at Yun Xi quietly, and Yun Xi looked back at him coldly.

The eyes of the two met across the barrier, as if they were engaged in a fierce battle.

After a while, Feng Ming smiled again, the corners of his mouth twitched, with a trace of joking: "Speaking of which, I seem to have forgotten to tell you that the reason why the desolation of the deserted city has not appeared for a long time is because this child is in Yuanyuan. Constantly provide life energy and blood. If this energy and blood are cut off, thousands of flowers will bloom, and the fog will fill again, and everyone in the city will die."

He thought about it: "I guess...you should still have companions in the city, right?"

Yun Xi's eyes froze suddenly, and he clenched the hand holding the Ningshuang sword tightly.

Feng Ming smiled slightly: "So, you should leave, this matter has nothing to do with you, and I don't want to fight with you. Or..."

"Are you going to fight with me after the fruit of the Holy Spirit is condensed?"

Compared with Qingyan and Tongmu, Fengming seemed much calmer. He sat quietly in the enchantment, not caring at all whether Yun Xi would believe his words, nor what actions she would take next.

"Yun Xi, why don't you...let's leave first, report this matter to the Tianling League, and hand it over to the Tianling League for resolution. With the strength of your top cultivators in the Tianling Continent, even if the desolate fog reappears, they don't have to be afraid Yes. This Fengming is an array mage, and the enchantment in front of him is connected to that girl, once the enchantment is broken, the blood supply will also be cut off."

Worried about Yunxi's superiority, Yimeng quickly tried to persuade him.

If what Feng Ming said was true, once Yun Xi made a move, not only would he not be able to save the child, but he would even catch up with the three companions who came with her.

It has been with Yun Xi day and night for so many years, and it is very clear that this owner who likes to be lazy, loves to be promiscuous, and has a mysterious sexual orientation is actually a beautiful woman with a kind heart.

In the past few years, she has helped many people, Ye Nianhan, Li Zixiao, Lu Qi, You Tingjing, Qingchan... Even if she shrinks back at this time, no one will blame her.

Yun Xi held the sword tightly, his eyes fixed on Feng Ming.

"We will meet again."

Yun Xi gritted his teeth and said.

Feng Ming chuckled: "I think so too."

Yun Xi looked up at the red-haired girl again, then turned and left.

"...Save...Save...I..."

I don't know if it was Yun Xi's illusion, but she seemed to hear such a sentence, her walking figure suddenly paused, and then she took faster steps.

……

Yun Xi's figure quickly shuttled underground, and soon came to the second cave.

Li Zixiao and Xia Qingyao were still sitting here, their faces already pale, but at the entrance opposite to the cave, a petite figure was waving its ten fingers, forming beautiful marks one by one.

The talisman appeared, and this formation was being quickly deciphered.

'Looks like Xiaoying has already defeated Qingyan. '

Although Yun Xi had expected this result a long time ago, she was still relieved when she saw that Ying Nianling was safe and sound.

With Ying Nian Ling's attack, the formation was easily broken in a short while. Although the steps for Ying Nian Ling to break the formation were a bit cumbersome, it was able to deal with various situations. Even as a nightmare beast, Yimeng would naturally be able to deal with it. Ashamed.

The formation was broken, and the pressure on Li Zixiao and Xia Qingyao suddenly disappeared. The two opened their eyes, and their shoulders seemed to relax countless times.

"Yun Xi."

Seeing Yun Xi, Ying Nian Ling happily ran over and said to Yun Xi, "Yun Xi, I defeated that person!"

As he spoke, he pouted again, a little dissatisfied: "But he took out a strange thing and ran away."

Yun Xi knew that Qingyan must be the same as Tongmu, and escaped by using space props. The other party was obviously prepared, and there was nothing he could do to escape.

She touched Ying Nianling's head, and comforted her: "It's okay, I also encountered an enemy there, and he also escaped."

At this time, everyone noticed that Yun Xi had also broken through like Ying Nianling, and his realm had reached the late stage of Chu Ling.

Li Zixiao's eyes drooped slightly, and her fists hidden under her sleeves were clenched slightly. The gap between her and Yun Xi was getting bigger and bigger, and she had to work hard to keep up with her pace.

Xia Qingyao also showed obvious surprise. She eats delicious food, but she also really loves cultivation. She has never fought against Yun Xi before, but she can clearly feel the gap between herself and the other party. Makes her eager to catch up.

Only Ying Nianling was thinking silently in her heart.

'This time I broke through before Yunxi, hehehe! '

For her, breaking through before Yunxi means being stronger than Yunxi. What she pursues is not to surpass Yunxi, but to be able to protect Yunxi.

In Ying Nianling's world view, as long as she is stronger than Yun Xi, she can always protect her and rely on her.

Yun Xi didn't know everyone's rich mental activities, so he said calmly: "Okay, I've already checked inside, and there's nothing serious about it. Let's go back quickly, this desolate city is not peaceful."

"Ah."

The three of them had no doubt that he was there, and after listening to Yun Xi's words, they began to leave the barren city.

The moment they walked out of the tree hole, Feng Ming from the ground raised his eyes.

"Ah!"

He let out a faint laugh.

Just like when they came, when they left, Yun Xi and the others were also extremely low-key.
