Where is Our Agreement to be Each Other's Arch-Rivals?

The moonlit night was clear, the sky was full of stars, and the night was not dark.

Coupled with the wind lanterns stacked along the suspension bridge in the main altar of the Demon Cult, the lake water reflects the stars and lights, more like the Milky Way falling into the mortal world, and there are large expanses of light everywhere.

However, at this moment, no one appreciates this rare and extreme beauty—the team from Tengyun Pavilion has just arrived, and the battle is about to break out.

When Gu Feidi and Su Yan came to the edge of the Demon Sect's main altar, the Tengyun Pavilion team had already fought with the Demon Sect, but from a distance, the scale was not as big as Su Yang had imagined before.It seems that there are not many flower attendants sent by the Demon Sect Meitang, so many members of the Liantang and Lantang who stayed behind in the main altar had to come to fight.

Gu Feidi had seen the previous patrol map of the Devil's Cult, and he probably knew how many elite Meitang should be stationed here, but judging from the current battle situation, the number of Meitang's flower servants dispatched was nearly half.

Although the members of Liantang and Lantang also know martial arts, they are not as well-trained as the flower attendants of Meitang. Under the siege of the knights in the Central Plains, they will inevitably gradually lose their support and suffer heavy casualties.And this kind of defense arrangement seems to deliberately use these people as cannon fodder and push them to the front line to die.

Su Yan looked at the battle situation in front of him, although he knew that this battle was already inevitable, he was inevitably upset in the end.

Gu Feidi saw Su Yan's anxiety, stretched out his hand to squeeze his palm, and comforted him in a low voice: "The leader of the Demon Cult has his own reasons for this arrangement. I think Tengyun Pavilion also wants to break through the interception as soon as possible and go straight to the lake. The two islands in the center did not fight too much, so as to reduce casualties... This may be the consensus reached when they met in private."

As he said, under the command of Gu Ruohai, Tengyun Pavilion did not disperse its combat power to the places where the surrounding residents gathered, but only guarded against the demon sect's outflanking. , to Iris Island and Junhua Island in the middle of the canyon.

Su Yan closed his eyes, nodded reluctantly and said, "I understand...I'm fine."

Gu Feidi said: "If you don't want to participate, let's retreat to Devil City and wait for the battle to end."

"No, let's go to Yunhua Island." Su Yan said, "If I can see the leader, I want to ask him what's going on."

Since Su Yan, Gu Feidi, and Tengyun Pavilion's team arrived from different directions in Devil City, they were still some distance away from Tengyun Pavilion's battle line.Pu Lingyun, who was following them, was a little anxious. She wanted to meet up with Tengyun Pavilion, but because of the distance between them and the Demon Sect's flower attendants, it was quite difficult for her to break through alone.

Seeing the three of them walking together, the Flower Attendant of the Devil's Cult has already sent several people to deal with it. It is indeed not a good time to split up and act.

"It's fine if you stay with us." Gu Feidi drew out his long sword to block the attack of a flower attendant, and said, "Let's go directly to Yunhua Island."

Pu Lingyun also knew that if she was self-willed at this time, there would be unexpected problems, so she nodded and fought side by side with the two of them.

After two or three rounds of fighting, Gu Feidi and Su Yan gradually felt the problems that Xu Yunzhan had mentioned before.

——Among these demon cult flower attendants who seem to be working together, in fact, there will always be two or three of them, when the companion's blade is about to fall on the three of them, they will inexplicably stab in obliquely, replacing Su Yan and Gu Fei. The enemy blocks the next attack.Although these people did it without any trace every time, Gu Feidi and Su Yan still felt a strange change in the rhythm of the battle after many times.

But these disruptors did not let Su Yan and Gu Feidi go, they still firmly blocked the way of the three of them, and refused to let them go to the island.

Su Yan couldn't bear to hurt people at will, Gu Feidi and Pu Lingyun saw that he was worried and couldn't do his best, so the battle situation became stalemate for a while.

"What should I do?" Su Yan asked Gu Feidi.

Gu Feidi was silent for a moment, and said: "If it doesn't hurt anyone, with our strength, I'm afraid we won't be able to break through easily. Maybe you can use Xihuabu to enter the island alone, but Master told us not to separate, so..."

Hearing this, Su Yan closed his eyes and let out a sigh.

Flipping the rapier in his hand, he pierced into the encirclement of the demon sect with a move of "Jiang Taochun", and then connected with "Jiao He Xiang", stabbing the two attacking people from the lotus hall, and the demon sect's defense line was immediately torn Make a groove.

"Let's go."

The three of them quickly adjusted their strategy, no longer fighting with the devil knights, but like a sharp knife, piercing through the line of defense.The three of them teamed up, and the momentum was like a broken bamboo. The flower attendant couldn't stop him, so he could only chase after them, walking along the suspension bridge all the way to Junhua Island.

However, just when everyone had just set foot on Junhua Island, Mei Shisan led another team of flower attendants to stop Su Yi and his party.

Seeing Mei Shisan who should have been "captured" by Tengyun Pavilion, Su Yan couldn't help being stunned, and blurted out, "How did you escape back?"

Mei Shisan's expression remained unchanged, and she swung her sword to instruct several senior flower attendants to surround Su Yan and Gu Feidi.

Su Yan was angry: "Could it be that even you—" Before he finished speaking, Gu Feidi grabbed his wrist and signaled him to shut up with his eyes.

Mei Shisan turned her head and ordered to the surrounding flower attendants and Lantang Liantang people: "Go back and help defend the Central Plains knights. They will be handed over to our Junhua Island guards."

On the opposite side, the leading chivalrous man looked at Mei Shisan with an expression of dissatisfaction, narrowed his eyes, and moved his lips and teeth... But in the end he didn't say anything, let out an angrily "humph", and led the team away.

When the people walked away, Su Yan looked at Mei Shisan and waited for his explanation.

Mei Shisan said: "Knowing that the Holy Son has returned, the leader ordered me to take you to see him. Everyone, come with me."

With that said, he turned and left.Su Yan and Gu Fei looked at each other hostilely, but they could only follow along silently with Pu Lingyun.

A group of people walked along the roads around Junhua Island and slowly descended to the shoal near the lake near the island.

On the way, Su Yan found that the corners of the buildings on Junhua Island were full of wine jars, and the more they went down, the denser the wine jars, as if a grand party was about to be held here.

Gu Feidi also noticed these wine jars, and couldn't help frowning.

Seeing his serious expression, Su Yan turned his head and asked Mei Shisan: "What is the purpose of preparing so much wine on this island?"

Mei Shisan paused slightly, and said, "The leader has his own intentions in making such preparations."

After finishing speaking, no matter what Su Yan asked, he didn't speak again.

The group followed Mei Shisan to the cave in the forbidden area of ​​the Demon Cult, and saw a somewhat familiar white figure standing in the middle of the cave—it was the leader of the Demon Cult, Su Huaizhu.

Gu Feidi's hand, which had been holding the hilt of the sword in secret, clenched a little more, and Su Yan couldn't help but tense his nerves. Pu Lingyun, who saw the leader of the Demon Cult for the first time, was even more stiff all over, not even daring to breathe too much. Push hard, as if afraid of disturbing something.

However, Su Huaizhu was not as tyrannical as the rumors in the rivers and lakes said.

He looked at the three of them with a flat face and no waves in his eyes, as if he was indifferent to anything.However, his tone of voice was extremely gentle: "What are you doing down the mountain instead of taking good care of yourself at Yuqiong Peak? I didn't want you to get involved in this dispute."

Su Yan opened his mouth, not knowing how to answer.

Gu Feidi took over the conversation and said, "Senior, the two of us planned to leave Yuqiong Peak and go to Xiaoyulou. However, outside the gate of Xiaoyulou, we received a letter from Master. She told us to go to Devil City A trip with the ice field, we had to come here."

When Su Huaizhu heard the words, the brows slightly moved, and he looked at Su Yan suspiciously.

Gu Feidi and Su Yan exchanged a look, and Su Yan took out Master's letter from his bosom and handed it to Su Huaizhu.

Su Huaizhu looked at the letter paper and was silent for a long time, as if he was a little disappointed.After a long while, he suddenly smiled and said: "...Since Master told you not to separate...forget it..."

Hiding half of the words, he handed the letter back to Su Yan: "The phoenix chalcedony that Master gave you, remember to carry it close to you at all times."

Su Yan nodded, raised his hand through his clothes, and pressed the pendant on his chest that was emitting a slight heat.

"Master, no matter what kind of strange object is used, its effect has a time limit." Su Huaizhu said suddenly, "This phoenix chalcedony probably won't last half a month before it will turn into a cloud of dust..."

Hearing this explanation, Su Yan was stunned—no wonder the master insisted that they go to the ice field to get other strange items. It turns out that this extremely effective Phoenix chalcedony is actually a time-limited item?

He and Gu Feidi looked at each other in surprise, and Su Yan felt a strange sense of absurdity in his heart, and felt more and more that the master might not be a simple character.

It's a pity that in the script, the main character of Xiaoyulou doesn't have many roles, nor is it important enough to mention her character design. Su Yan, like the people here, can only guess the origin of the master, but has no way of confirming it.

Mentioning the trip to the ice field, Gu Feidi pondered for a moment and asked, "Senior, is it really my father who discussed this encirclement with you?"

Su Huaizhu looked at him, frowned suddenly, and said, "I just invited him to come and destroy my sect, the rest of the arrangements...why discuss it."

Gu Feidi didn't understand what this meant.

Hearing Su Huaizhu's words, Su Yan frowned and asked, "So this siege is really your premeditation? Are you trying to destroy the demon... Yin Tan Sect?"

He spoke bluntly and didn't use the honorific title, but Su Huaizhu didn't care at all, instead he replied with a smile: "It's just destroyed, so what?"

Su Yang was tongue-tied and didn't know how to answer.

"Elder Lan Tang and Elder Ju Tang conspired to usurp power, and they have already emptied the Lotus Hall. I actually noticed it a long time ago."

Su Huaizhu explained in a calm tone: "It just so happens that the new king of Eruo Ghost Tent has made some small moves recently, so I want to take this opportunity to clean up the traitors in the church, and at the same time blind the sight of Erluo Ghost Tent, making them think that my teacher is suffering from internal and external troubles. Fall apart, relax your vigilance... so that I can sneak into the ice field and assassinate King Eroxin."

Su Yan was stunned: "Assassinate King Eruoxin? Why?"

Su Huaizhu said: "You don't need to know."

Su Yang: ...

Gu Feidi pondered for a moment, then said: "Perhaps there is something we can help here, senior... please tell me."

Su Huaizhu shook his head: "You don't need to be too involved in this matter, as long as there are no accidents, everything will be completed smoothly."

As he spoke, he turned slightly sideways and said, "In the third stele room here, there is a secret passage behind the stele at the bottom of the corridor. You can use this to leave and follow the underground river to the outside of Devil City."

Gu Feidi and Su Yan looked at each other in blank dismay.

Su Yan was a little restless, and wanted to say something more, but someone came to report over there: "Master Gu, Leader Gu has led Tengyun Pavilion and Qianfeng Villa to attack Junhua Island, and Tongyun Temple and Xuanji Temple have been sent away. Iris Island, but those who walk with the lord, there are people without borders."

Su Huaizhu snorted coldly: "Wujiang Gate..."

As he said that, he looked back at the three young men, and said, "Let's go, you young people don't need to intervene here, so don't make a mess."

Su Yan looked at Su Huaizhu, suddenly he didn't know where the courage came from, and said: "We will wait here, if there is any accident, we can help."

Su Huaizhu frowned: "You..."

"I am the Holy Son of the Demon Sect." Su Yan interrupted Su Huaizhu's words, and said seriously.

This time, Su Huaizhu didn't say anything.

He took a serious look at Su Yan, and finally turned and left expressionlessly.
