Mu Zhi was plunged into darkness.

In the dark, the passage of time cannot be felt.

He didn't know how long it had passed, but gradually, a rustling sound came from his ears.

The movement is slight, but not easy to ignore.

It's like... the sound of the silk being torn.

Mu Zhi felt a chill on his shoulder, and then regained consciousness.His eyelashes fluttered slightly, and he opened his eyes with difficulty.

There is still a familiar yellow sand in front of my eyes.

The stars and the moon are lonely, and the sky is empty.

A deserted moonlight hung down, and Gu Lingyun bent his knees and sat on a boulder not far away, dressed in old and dilapidated white clothes, revealing a sense of loneliness.

Mu Zhi turned his gaze away and found some red rags scattered on the ground, and he could still see the delicate patterns embroidered on them.

He lowered his head, only to find that the dress he was wearing before had been torn apart, leaving only a white lining.

Deep dew at night.

Mu Zhi was wearing thin clothes, and soon felt the chill, and couldn't stop shivering.He took out the feather coat from the storage space and put it on his body.The soft feathers blocked the cold wind and gradually warmed up.

The desert is silent at night, the continuous sand dunes are still sleeping, and there is no human voice.

Mu Zhi sat quietly on the spot, quicksand slowly flowing down from his fingertips.He felt a bit of a headache. He didn't know if it was the sequelae left by the formation on the altar, or it was really uncomfortable.

Mu Zhi lowered his head, his temples were throbbing, and it took him a while to recover.He reached out and pressed his temple, and under the effect of the pain, his thoughts became more vivid.

Starting from Wutong Township, bits and pieces along the way came to mind.

Dongqiong had a wicked heart from the very beginning.

In fact, Mu Zhi has been on guard all along, but what he never expected was that Dong Qiong came after him.

Recalling what happened just now, Mu Zhi pursed her lips.

Gu Lingyun had clearly reminded him, but because of the grievances in the past, he would rather believe in Dong Qiong than believe in the right party.

Now that things are over, looking at Gu Lingyun's figure again, Mu Zhi can't help but feel a little embarrassed, not knowing what to do.

Change your mind.

It's better to leave Dongmo first, so as not to cause complications.

Mu Zhi gathered his feather coat, got up and was about to leave.

But before he took two steps, a hoarse voice sounded behind him: "You still have to go."

Use a positive tone.

Mu Zhi's footsteps paused slightly, and for some reason, he explained to Gu Lingyun: "I want to go back to Wutong Township."

Gu Lingyun's breathing was disordered, as if he was suppressing his emotions. After a while, he whispered: "...don't leave."

Mu Zhi looked at the twinkling stars in the distance.

It is undeniable that it was Gu Lingyun who saved him on the altar before Nanxie.If it wasn't for Gu Lingyun, he would really have become a Taoist couple with Dong Qiong.

Speaking of which, he owed Gu Lingyun a favor.

But human favors are not enough to wipe out everything before.

Everything is not as simple as addition and subtraction.

Mu Zhi's head was still aching, but his thoughts were extremely clear: "Changming Immortal, let's stop here."

His voice was calm, "I owe you what happened just now. If you need anything in the future, I can help, but..."

Before he finished speaking, he was interrupted by Gu Lingyun: "I won't allow it."

Again.

Mu Zhi was tired of hearing it, and closed his eyes and said, "I don't need your permission."

The voice fell, and no one spoke anymore.

This scene lasted for a while, and in the end Mu Zhi was the first to break the deadlock. He ignored Gu Lingyun's reaction and walked straight forward.

Mu Zhi hurriedly walked, not knowing whether he wanted to escape from Dongmo or from Gu Lingyun's side.

But no matter which choice he chose, he didn't get what he wanted.

A ray of white light descended from the sky, shrouded like the moonlight, and directly cut the road ahead into two halves.

Mu Zhi raised his eyelids, the light in his hand turned, and a longbow appeared in his hand out of thin air.

Golden-red flames jumped and wrapped around his side.

Streaming light splashed like sparks.

Mu Zhi seemed to have sensed something, and slowly turned his head to the side.

At some point, Gu Lingyun stood not far behind him, his eyes were deeper than the night sky, and all the light would be sucked into them and cease to exist.

Mu Zhi frowned slightly.

It looks like... not quite right.

"I don't want to fight with you." Mu Zhi's voice was a little cold, but he still expressed his current attitude.

Now that the situation is unclear, if they fight against Gu Lingyun again, it will definitely be a lose-lose end.

Such an ending is not a good choice for both parties.

Mu Zhi had some scruples, but Gu Lingyun didn't think so much at all.He walked over, leaving footprints in the sand.

Seeing that he was approaching, Mu Zhi raised his hand, and a cluster of flames burst out, turned into an arrow and landed on the longbow, aiming at Gu Lingyun.

At such a short distance, this arrow is sure to hit.

But even so, it couldn't stop Gu Lingyun's footsteps.

Mu Zhi stopped him and said, "Don't come over."

The moonlight is misty, as if covered with a layer of veil.

Under this halo, one can clearly see strands of black mist covering Gu Lingyun's body, which is evil and weird.

What's going on here?

Mu Zhi was slightly absent-minded.

At this moment, Gu Lingyun approached, stretched out his hand, and grabbed the arrow on the longbow.

The arrow was transformed from Phoenix fire, and it was extremely hot. As soon as Gu Lingyun's palm touched it, there was a sizzling sound, which made people feel toothache.

But Gu Lingyun didn't seem to feel the pain, his expression didn't change a bit: "Dong Qiong can do it, can't I?"

Mu Zhi was stunned for a moment, not understanding the meaning of Gu Lingyun's words: "What..."

Gu Lingyun repeated word by word, so hard that every word seemed to be smeared with blood: "Dong Qiong can do it, but I can't?"

Mu Zhi finally understood, and said in astonishment: "It's not the same thing at all..."

In Gu Lingyun's eyes, this is the same thing.

Mu Zhi is willing to choose to trust Dong Qiong and become a Taoist couple with Dong Qiong, but he is unwilling to spend more time with him.

After realizing this, Gu Lingyun felt as if a fire called jealousy was burning and licking in his heart, enough to make him lose his mind.

Veins popped out on the back of Gu Lingyun's hand, directly crushing the arrow in his hand.

Shine——

Mu Zhi's wrist went numb, and he almost couldn't hold the longbow.He finally noticed that something was wrong with Gu Lingyun.

Gu Lingyun's pupils were pitch black, and his face was expressionless, but it made people feel a sense of paranoia.

This is...a sign of obsession.

Mu Zhi was taken aback, and before he had time to react, he was hugged into a strong embrace.

Gu Lingyun's hands trembled slightly, and he hugged the person in his arms carefully, like treating a lost and found treasure.

He was sighing softly: "Mu Zhi..."

The two are so close.

The crow-blue hair and black hair are intertwined together, making it difficult to tell you from me.

Mu Zhi leaned against Gu Lingyun's chest, his body was a little stiff.He had been so close to Gu Lingyun countless times, but this time alone made him want to run away.

It's just that Gu Lingyun's strength is too heavy for him to break free.

Mu Zhi turned his face to the side, wanting to put some distance away, but just as he had a chance to breathe, Gu Lingyun pushed him back with a more forceful attitude.

Mu Zhi bumped the tip of his nose, and a strong smell of blood surged up.He frowned uncomfortably, and with a glance, he saw that Gu Lingyun's right shoulder was scarlet, the wound was deep enough to see the bone, and blood was still dripping.

Injured so badly, still acting as if nothing happened...

As soon as this thought flashed through Mu Zhi's mind, he felt his shoulders sink, and Gu Lingyun fell directly towards him.

Mu Zhi didn't have time to think about it, so he could only reach out to pick it up.

Gu Lingyun is tall and has long legs. He looks thin and thin in white clothes, but in fact he is extremely heavy. Mu Zhi uses both hands to barely support himself.

He half-knelt down and slowly lowered the person to the ground.

"call……"

Mu Zhi took a breath and looked down.

Gu Lingyun lost consciousness and lay there quietly.His eyes were closed and his brows were tightly furrowed. Even in a coma, he was still unsteady, as if he was muttering something.

Mu Zhi moved closer, barely hearing some voices.

Mostly it was: "Muzhi, don't go...", "I'm sorry" and the like.

Mu Zhi stared at it for a moment, with a flat expression and no emotion at all.He put his hands on his knees and stood up slowly.

Now that Gu Lingyun is in a coma, he can no longer stop him. As long as he leaves Dongmo and returns to Wutong Township, he doesn't have to pay attention to these disturbances.

Mu Zhi lowered his hand, and the longbow turned into a golden light, and then turned into an armband, which was worn on the wrist of his right hand.

At this time, the moon was setting and the sun was rising, and a ray of bright sunlight spread in the east, and the sky opened up.

In the boundless yellow sand, no matter who they are, they all seem so insignificant.

Mu Zhi walked among them, and gravel paved the surface.At first his footsteps were light, but after walking for a while, they gradually became sluggish.

He turned his head sideways, and could vaguely see Gu Lingyun lying on the ground, motionless.

Farther away, figures could be seen wriggling under the sand dunes. They approached Gu Lingyun cautiously, as if they were testing whether they could have a full meal.

There are murderous intentions hidden in the desert, and danger is everywhere.

Gu Lingyun is now seriously injured and comatose, even if he was once famous, in this situation, he will become a meal for the sandworm.

Moreover, Gu Lingyun had saved him just now, and owed him a favor.

Mu Zhi hesitated for a moment, finally gritted his teeth, turned his head and walked back.

He came to Gu Lingyun's side again, and his eyes fell on it.

Mu Zhi's mood is a little complicated.

Not soft-hearted.

It's just that I don't want Gu Lingyun to die like this, in obscurity, and turn into a pile of bones where no one knows.

Mu Zhi raised his right hand, and the phoenix fire lightly fell on his fingertips, forming a formation around Gu Lingyun.

He hadn't studied the formation technique specifically, the formation technique was simple, but it was enough to protect Gu Lingyun from falling into the belly of the sandworm.

The last rune of the formation fell, and Mu Zhi closed his hands and was about to leave, but before he could take a step, he felt a burst of strength coming from under his sleeve.

Mu Zhi lowered his head and met Gu Lingyun's gaze.

Gu Lingyun is already at the end of his battle.He had not recovered from his serious injuries, and was deeply trapped in prison. He was suppressed by the spirit-forbidden formation, and later he was stimulated and forcibly possessed by demons on the altar.

If it weren't for his profound cultivation base, after this experience, he would have died in Huangquan long ago.

But even so, Gu Lingyun was already extremely weak, exhausted all his strength, just now he grabbed the corner of Mu Zhi's clothes, his knuckles turned pale for a while.

His lips moved, and he said with difficulty: "Mu Zhi, don't go..."

Mu Zhi asked calmly, "Why?"

Not a question, just pure curiosity.

Curious why Gu Lingyun is so persistent.

Gu Lingyun coughed, his throat was filled with foam, and he said hoarsely, "Mu Zhi, you provoked me first."

Mu Zhi said lightly: "But, I don't want to provoke you now."

"No, I can't." Gu Lingyun was in a mess, his black hair was disheveled, and his eyes were scarlet.He said stubbornly, "I, no, sure."

Mu Zhi sighed, and reiterated again: "Changming Immortal, I am not your bird, and I don't need your permission to do anything."

Gu Lingyun showed a hint of bewilderment, snorted, and relaxed the strength in his hand.

Mu Zhi took the opportunity to pull back the corner of his clothes, since Gu Lingyun had already woken up, there was no need to stay any longer.

Mu Zhi made a decisive decision, turned around and left.

After walking for a while, there was a sound of footsteps behind him, he couldn't hold back, and turned his head to take a look.

Gu Lingyun covered the wound on his right shoulder, and followed with difficulty, blood dripped down, leaving a series of marks on the sand behind him.

Mu Zhi frowned, and said bluntly: "Changming Immortal, I've said it - I don't want to provoke you anymore."

Gu Lingyun's eyes were paranoid: "But this time, it's my turn to provoke you."

Mu Zhi wanted to say something, but he couldn't utter a single word, so he flicked his sleeves: "It's up to you."

Mu Zhi drove a wave of demon power to surround him, making his body light and light, and he fell on the sand without leaving a trace.

But in an instant, he directly crossed a distance of tens of feet in one step, and came to another sand dune.

With Gu Lingyun's current state, as long as he stands up against the sky, he can easily be left behind.

Mu Zhi made up his mind to get rid of Gu Lingyun, his feathers stretched out, and soon Gu Lingyun was no longer visible.

The front is suddenly bright.

Sporadic figures appeared in the desolate desert.

Mu Zhi thought it was a passing traveler at first, but when he took a closer look, he realized something was wrong.

These people were in a hurry, with hideous faces and demonic aura looming, obviously they were not good people.

With a thought, Mu Zhi concealed his figure and approached.

This group of people is stopping to rest, taking advantage of their free time to chat for a while.

"With such a big incident, the demon king is really ashamed this time."

"Yeah, halfway through the ceremony, the Taoist couple was kidnapped."

"Tsk tsk... It's no wonder that Demon Venerable got so ruthless this time, he asked a group of us to come out and arrest people."

"However, that person kidnapped people in front of the Demon Lord, let's not mention how brave he is, his cultivation must be strong, can we... can we do it?"

"Hey, I didn't say that, the man in white was seriously injured. As long as we brothers work together, we will definitely be able to strangle him."

One of them took out a compass, and the pointer kept turning to identify the direction: "Okay, don't talk about it, the man in white is in this direction, hurry up, don't let him run away."

Mu Zhi looked at the place pointed by the group of people, which was the direction he came from.
