Don't take it, I switched to the ruthless way

Chapter 267 Defense

"That Zhuo Ping has a different complexion, can't you tell?" Qingyun, who was hiding in Shi Yao's sleeves with Heiyun Divine Gong, made a strange sound. She was sure that Shi Yao could definitely tell.

Shi Yao, who concealed his aura and flew through the sky of Xuyang City, said calmly: "I killed his master. If he can face me without any grudges, then there will be a problem."

"Ah!" Qingyun exclaimed in surprise and said in disbelief: "So you killed his master. No wonder he always behaves strangely when facing you. Could it be that... he wants to harm you? Huh?" That's wrong! If he really wanted to harm you, he would have had many opportunities to do it while you were in a coma! But you are still fine now, and it is obvious that he has no intention of avenging his master. "

"No, you guessed wrong." Shi Yao said: "Although the grudge between me and his master is personal, I have never been angry with him, and although he has always been aboveboard, he has moved after all. Murderous intention. However, he took great pains to lead me into the Forest of Silence. He must have suffered and tortured himself."

Qingyun: "Oh, what on earth are you talking about? I can't understand you at all!"

Shi Yao: "He is the most loyal person, and he can distinguish right from wrong, so he knows that his master was killed by me, but he cannot openly take revenge on me, so he knows that when I am unconscious, it is his best chance to take action. The time is right, but he still can't do it, this is who he is. But he can't ignore the hatred of his master's murder, and the more he does nothing, the more torture he will get... So the only thing he can do now , we can only kill with a borrowed knife."

"Ah?!" Qingyun said in shock: "So, you know everything, then you still agree to help that Lu Zexia?"

"I have always made a clear distinction between right and wrong. He was able to save my life and protect me when I was seriously injured and in a coma, so I returned the favor to him. He did not take the opportunity to kill me at that time, and since then I have just treated him as if he was ignorant. ." Shi Yao said:

"Besides, I promised him to help Lu Zexia not just for him. Taking a trip to the Forest of Silence can not only settle the grudge between me and him, but also achieve my own goal. It can be said that it kills two birds with one stone. Why should I Don’t you just go with the flow?”

Hearing this, Qingyun burst out laughing, "You are indeed the most cunning one. Humph, how could he scheme against you! Alas, it's just pitiful that he thinks he has finally avenged his master. Tsk, tsk, it's really..."

Shi Yao no longer paid attention to Qingyun's sigh, and flew at a leisurely speed. At the same time, he lowered his eyes and glanced at Xuyang City below.

Not long after, Shi Yao met Lu Zexia.

Lu Zexia was not sitting in her wheelchair today, and there were no subordinates following her.

She wore a green robe, which allowed her to fly and stand easily without using spiritual power.

She was floating quietly in the sky outside Xuyang City, and no one except Shi Yao could notice her presence.

Seeing Shi Yao finally arrived, Lu Zexia took the lead in bowing her hands and saluting Shi Yao, "Fellow Taoist, you are here."

Shi Yao returned the greeting and said, "It's because I'm late and I kept fellow Taoist Lu waiting for a long time."

Lu Zexia smiled and said, "Fellow Taoist is willing to come. I am not happy enough. Even if I have to wait a little longer, I will be very happy."

When Shi Yao saw that she had been looking at Xuyang City below with a thoughtful look on her face, she couldn't help but ask her, "Fellow Taoist Lu, do you still have some important things that haven't been arranged properly?"

Lu Zexia lowered her eyes and looked at Xuyang City again, and then looked at Shi Yao, "Nothing! Fellow Taoist, let's set off now."

After saying this, she took the first step and flew forward.

Shi Yao followed closely and said: "The reason why Xuyang City can become a safe place for casual cultivators in the world must be due to the past achievements of fellow Taoist Lu. This trip is probably extremely dangerous. If something happens to fellow Taoist because of this, So what should we do in Xuyang City?"

If the lord of a city dies suddenly, won't there be chaos in the city?

Lu Zexia was already worried about this, but when Shi Yao asked this question, she suddenly thought about it.

"If something happens to me, Xuyang City will only be in chaos for a while, but it will definitely not die. If I am seriously injured or die, then the position of the Lord of Xuyang City will naturally be occupied by a capable person. There are many capable people in the world. There are many, and I’m not the only one, Lu Zexia.”

Shi Yao praised: "Fellow Taoist Lu has a broad mind, which I have only seen and admired in my life." Lu Zexia showed a bitter smile, "Fellow Taoist praised me incorrectly. I have been with you since the day I was born. This city is firmly bound together. From then on, my joys, sorrows, joys, successes, and successes are all deeply involved in this city. It can be said that it made me what I am, and I have spent half my life guarding it... Many times, even I don’t know whether to be happy or sad about this.”

Yao was a little silent when she heard this, and suddenly she didn't know what to say.

Lu Zexia didn't say anything more, she just focused on flying and leading Shi Yao.

According to Lu Zexia's careful investigation, the evil cultivator rarely left the Forest of Silence and had been hiding deep in the Forest of Silence for the past two years.

For fear of being discovered by the evil cultivator, Lu Zexia did not dare to look too close. She only knew that the evil cultivator's hiding place was a bottomless pit, and it was extremely cold there.

Lu Zexia had left a formation there. If the evil cultivator came out of the cave, it would naturally touch the formation.

However, two years have passed, and the formation has been still in good condition, with no signs of being touched.

Therefore, after Lu Zexia and Shi Yao came all the way, the formation surrounding the cave entrance was still there, which meant that the evil cultivator had never come out of the cave entrance.

There was a cold breath constantly emanating from the entrance of the cave, and the surrounding trees were all withered and dead due to being covered by the strange frost.

"It seems that he has been in the cave all along. Let's go down." Lu Zexia said and was about to go down first.

Shi Yao stopped her, "Wait a minute!"

Lu Zexia looked back at Shi Yao, "Fellow Taoist?"

Shi Yao took out a formation disk from the Sumeru Ring, and while setting up another ice and snow formation nearby, he said: "In order to prevent him from escaping from this cave, we should take more precautions." yes."

In fact, the formation that Yao set up at that time was not only to prevent the evil cultivator from escaping, but also to prevent Lu Zexia.

Lu Zexia figured it out in a flash, but she was not dissatisfied at all. She just nodded and said, "Fellow Taoist thought carefully, but I was negligent."

Shi Yao didn't say much and quickly set up the formation.

"Okay, let's go."

Lu Zexia nodded, and couldn't help but said in a negotiating tone: "The entrance to the cave is narrow, why don't you let me go first to explore the way?"

Yao didn't have any objections at this time and let her go first.

So Lu Zexia jumped directly from the entrance of the cave, silently.

Shi Yao followed closely, not far or close to Lu Zexia in front.
