Dongfang Qingqi had already brought many disciples to check the situation. When he saw the children in an awkward state, he immediately came forward to support them and asked, “Who’s causing trouble?”

Lu Yanran, a few of their disciples who had just returned from training, gave him a salute before saying, “We also just returned and saw many strangers around here, so we came to ask questions, but they attacked without saying a word. The disciples did not check and were trapped by them. Later, Brother Zhong Minyan and Brother Ruo’Yu also arrived, but they were still defeated. If not for the help of Sifeng and Xuanji, I’m afraid ……”

The sword net above the Fuyu Island can only stop living things, but not dead things, a weakness he knows very well. But he also did not expect that someone actually dare to bring a large number of explosives, send death to blow them up.

“Where are the people who made the mess?”

Lu Yanran look at Xuanji with a bit of admiration, “Xuanji used the Fire Dragon Technique to detonate their explosives, I think there is no trace of them left afterwards.”

Dongfang Qingqi was surprised and delighted, “This child is too reckless! This was in the air, if you got hurt, it could be fatal!”

Xuanji just giggled, everyone was fine, they all dodged quickly.

The blood on her forehead was still pouring down, so he hurriedly ordered his disciples to get medicine, wiped her wound and bandaged it up. Suddenly, he saw a man in his thirties with his eyes closed and his face pale, blood flowing from his midsection to his chin. “Who is this man?”

Zhong Minyan looked up, the upper part of his face in pain and grinned reluctantly, “This brother said he wanted to come to Fuyu Island to look for his relatives, so I saw that he was weak and sickly and could not travel long distances, so I brought him here. On the way, he took good care of us …… alas, but by the wave of explosives, I do not know if he can hold up.”

The people are more or less wounded, this is not a good place to talk. Dongfang Qingqi ordered the disciples to take the people back to the island, and himself took some people patrolling around to see if there is a leak.

Chu Lei was very happy to see that they were back, although they were wounded, but they were not hurt. Chu Lei originally wanted to put on a cold face to rebuke Xuanji’s nonsense, she just actually snuck out when he was not prepared, but saw his daughter achieved great success, and was smoked into a black charcoal man, and then the reproach from the mouth also became comfort, “…… all right? The explosion is not a small shock, is there any place that is uncomfortable?”

Xuanji shook her head, “I’m fine, but Sixth Brother and the others are all injured.”

When Zhong Minyan saw his Master and Brothers, he was so excited that regardless of the pain of the wounds on his body, he quickly strode forward and knelt down. “Disciple greets Master and Brothers!”

Chu Lei hurriedly picked him up, carefully looked at the wound, to confirm that he was alright, comforted quickly with two sentences and suddenly saw that only he came alone, his heart can not help but be shocked, anxiously said: “Linglong is not with you?”

Zhong Minyan was stunned for a moment, “Xuanji and the others did not find Linglong either?”

Hearing this conversation, everyone’s hearts were chilled. No one found Linglong, she was all alone, she must have met with misfortune.

Chu Lei’s face was white and he couldn’t say a word, and Xuanji and the others were as dumb as a chicken. Although at the side of Lu Yanran confused about the situation, but she also found Linglong is not in the crowd, think she must be in danger. When she thought of the time when the two of them had agreed to meet at Fuyu Island, she couldn’t help but shed tears.

Zhong Minyan clenched his fists and didn’t say a word, turned around and left, ignoring the pain in his wound. Yu Sifeng hurriedly pulled him back, “What are you doing!”

“To find Linglong.”

Zhong Minyan and Ruo Yu had a hard time getting to the Fuyu Island, they only hoped that Yu Sifeng had found Ling Long, but the other side was also expecting them to bring Ling Long …… Ling Long Ling Long, why did they leave her alone?

Yu Sifeng can not pull him, only have to let go. Chu Lei stunned for a long time, suddenly said in a deep voice: “No one is allowed to go!”

Zhong Minyan hurriedly turnd back, eyes have tears flashing, but he gritted his teeth to hold back the astringency, said in a low voice: “Master, I did not take care of sister, If I have to die I will fix this!”

Chu Lei tiredly waved his hand: “Not your fault! All go to the main hall, tell the story properly!”

It turns out that Zhong Minyan and Ruo’Yu in that night also encountered the gang of black-clad demon raid, those people look like a strict organization, uniformly dressed in black, hanging white iron ring on the waist, the leader of the demon, but also with the Bi Fang bird.

“Bi Fang is an ancient demon, they can actually catch so many?” Chu Lei also can’t help but shock.

Zhong Minyan rubbed his forehead, continued: “I and Rou’yu were injured, no way to escape, had to jump into the Hongze Lake, washed far away by the dark current at the bottom of the lake, the next day only barely able to go ashore, a good family at the bottom of the mountain helped to nurse our injuries …… Oh, it is this big brother’s home.”

He pointed to the man lying on the bench opposite, the man is still in a coma, nose bleeding constantly, several Fuyu Island disciples are taking good care of him.

“When the wound was almost healed, we started to search Gao’s Mountain and the nearby area to find Xuanji, Linglong and the others. But after searching for several days, we couldn’t find them, so we thought maybe they had taken Linglong to Fuyu Island first. The elder brother heard that we were going to Fuyu Island, so he begged to come along, saying that he had a younger brother working on Fuyu Island and hadn’t seen him for many years. Now their old mother has died of illness, he is also weak and sick, no one to take care of, can only come to Fuyu Island to join his brother. So I brought them along with me to ……. I just want to ask you all to look for this brother’s brother, so that they can be reunited.”

Zhong Minyan slowly finished, only feeling exhausted, holding his head sadly, did not wish to speak another word.

On the other side of Ruo’Yu patted his shoulder and sighed. No one would have thought that the price of meddling in the Gao’s mountain is the loss of Linglong, if they had known that, there could have been ten or eight fairy goddesses living in that mountain, married a hundred or eighty men every year, they would not have interfered.

The crowd is also silent, do not know what to say. Xuanji stayed for half a day before saying: “Linglong must have been captured by those black-clad demons! Their purpose is to destroy the iron chains! Father, you know about the Iron Chain, don’t you? All of you adults know it! Why didn’t you tell us? We should hurry to save Linglong back ah!”

Chu Lei face is blue, did not say anything. On the side, Master Rong sighed, “Miss Chu is too sad, Dingahi Iron Chain matter may not have any connection with your sister’s disappearance. Besides, we really don’t know ……”

“Liar.” Xuanji looked at him steadily and said, “You know but you don’t want to talk about it.”

The Master of Dianjing Valley was interrupted by her like this, and the man was speechless.

“Xuanji, do not fool around” Chu Lei reprimanded in a deep voice, he also looked haggard, sighed, “If Linglong is a lucky person, she should be able to turn the danger into a bargain …… here worrying is useless. You are wounded, go down and rest. Don’t talk nonsense.”

Xuanji looked at him silently, turned around and was about to leave. Suddenly, I heard the man lying on the bench next to me groan, slowly opened his eyes, looked around blankly, and mumbled, “This … place is?”

Zhong Minyin saw that the man woke up, hurriedly cobbled over, “Ouyang brother, are you okay? This is the Fuyu Island, we have arrived. We have entrusted them to find your brother.”

So this person’s surname is also Ouyang! Xuanji and Yu Sifeng’s heart was moved, could it be the frail and sickly elder brother that Steward Ouyang talked about?

The man smiled weakly, held Zhong Minyan’s hand, and said gently: “You …… why did you get yourself covered in blood again. You should be more careful.” He raised his hand and used his sleeve to wipe some of the blood that had flowed onto Zhong Minyan’s chin, like a caring elder.

Zhong Minyan’s eyes were red, he said with a trembling voice, “Big brother … Linglong, she … I still can’t find Linglong!”

The man looked at him compassionately, sighing, patted his hand, softly said: “Do not worry, it will be fine. First get well, then go looking. As long as we don’t give up hope, we will meet again one day.”

Zhong Minyan listened to him very well and nodded his head, forcing back his tears and personally wringing out a towel to wipe away the blood under his nose.

A disciple across the hall had heard the man’s name was Ouyang, and had gone to inform Steward Ouyang early on. After a while Steward Ouyang rushed in and when he saw the man lying on the bench, he was stunned, and then he called out, “Brother ……, what are you doing here?”

It’s really Steward Ouyang’s brother!

He came to help the man up, saw his face covered with blood, immediately turned back to the disciples for ice bags.

The man said softly, “If I don’t come, you’re not going to go home for the rest of your life, are you?”

“I’m planning to go home after I finish the miscellaneous jobs on the island,” whispered Steward Ouyang, stunned for a moment.

“You don’t have to go back ……,” the man closed his eyes, his face pale, “Mother has already gone, until death, but could not see you for the last time.”

Steward Ouyang gritted his teeth, the face had a sad expression but did not know what to say. The man said again: “I did not want to come here originally, but mother told me to see how you have been doing for her. I see that you look rosy, I think you will not suffer, mother’s wish is also fulfilled. You can stay here, you don’t have to go home.”

The steward Ouyang hesitated for a moment, “What about …… you?”

The man smiled slightly mockingly and said softly: “I naturally go from where I came, you do not worry about it.”

Ouyang frowned and said: “This is not a long term plan, since my mother has passed away, there are only two of us from now on. I should take care of my elder brother who is not well. You take care of your injuries first, don’t worry about anything else.”

The man looked at him in a daze, after a long time, murmured: “You …… have really changed a lot, how did all these years … …”

Ouyang face had some subtle change, about to say more, suddenly heard someone outside the door gently whistling, he got up and said: “Big brother just recuperate, do not think about it. I will come back to visit you later, take care.”

After saying that, he left, leaving the man alone and dazed. Zhong Minyan looked at him and whispered, “Why is he like this? Big brother has been injured, and he’s come a long way to see him. Any urgent matters can be put aside!”

The man shook his head, a little tired, said softly: “He has become more and more …… Minyan, I’m very tired, want to sleep a little. You can talk to your siblings.”

After talking he closed his eyes, and Zhong Minyan did not bother him anymore. He turned back to see Yu Sifeng and the others staring at him, he gave a pained smile and beckoned them to follow him outside.

“We have to find Linglong.”

Zhong Minyan crouched under the flower terrace outside the main hall, scratching his fingers vigorously at the dried blood on his chin. He was much calmer than before, but his voice was still firm, and he looked more determined than ever.

“Right now Master is busy with the investigation of the attack on Fuyu Island, they should not be bothered with us. Let’s get better and find a day to sneak out and go back to Gao’s Mountain to look for Linglong.”

He said, while sitting down, but who knows the flower platform was damaged in the battle, he could not hold on to it, and collapsed on his butt, very embarrassing. The people wanted to laugh but did not dare to laugh, the good thing is that the bomb was only near the door here, the inside part is not damaged in the slightest, otherwise it is a pity that such a beautiful scenery would be ruined.

“This …… son of a bitch ……” Zhong Minyan wanted to swear and vent his resentment, but due to the presence of Xuanji and the girls, he had to be vague. What the hell is wrong with those monsters? It’s not enough that they destroyed the iron chains, but they also captured Linglong and attacked us, and now they’ve come to the Fuyu Island to cause trouble! Are they fighting with us?

Yu Sifeng pulled him up from the ground and said, “I’m afraid it’s not that simple. I see that several sect members are stalling[1] and being evasive[2], I think there must be something hidden ……”

At this moment, he suddenly had a flash of inspiration in his mind. Like a lightning bolt, an idea jumped out at him.

“What’s the inside story?” Zhong Minyan asked anxiously.

He shook his head and turned to Xuanji and asked, “Do you have the map with you? Take it out and see.”

Xuanei laid the map on the ground and the crowd gathered around to see Yu Sifeng’s finger tracing the map for half a day, going from the DianjingValley in the north, circling down and stopping at the XuanYuan Sect in the south.

“Look, our five sects are all in this circle.” He took out a charcoal pencil and drew a huge circle on it, enclosing all the major sects in the east, west, north,and south directions, but in the middle was the Shaoyang Sect of Shaoyang Mountain.

“What does it mean?” Ruo’Yu and Lu Yanran looked at the half day but did not understand, but Zhong Minyan had some enlightenment, immediately with his hand on the circle, he pointed out the places he had been to, “The southeast of the WangXian Town is Haiwan Mountain, the east of ZhongLi City is Gao’s mountain, the northeast is Fuyu Island, the north is Dianjing valley ……”

The more he spoke, the more he whispered, and the crowd understood his meaning in an instant. The Haiwan Mountain and Gao’s mountain are buried with the Iron Chain, and the Iron Chain is set up with the pattern of the eight trigrams, which means that there will be one buried in all directions. The northeast is Fuyu Island, from the demon’s behavior, the third Iron Chain must be in Fuyu Island here! No wonder those adults mentioned the Dinghai Iron Chains with such evasive words, they simply know about this matter! Perhaps the Dinghai Iron Chains are a divine object that has been passed down from ancestors for thousands of generations and needs to be guarded, so the people are very cautious and do not talk about it easily.

“The Xuanyuan Sect did not send anyone to talk about the Zanhua Tournament this time, and the door was closed, no one came in or out, do you think, it could be those demons ……”

Xuanji immediately thought of the Xuanyuan sect, the worst result, is that those powerful demons from nowhere gathered more demons to exterminate the sect, Dinghai Iron Chain was also destroyed. So …… Fuyu Island sent so many disciples to guard, so …… Father and the others, they spent so many days in the Fuyu Island, so, those people want to come to attack the Fuyu Island. Their purpose is to destroy Fuyu Island’s Dinghai Iron Chain!

Thinking of this layer, all of them are looking at each other shocked, so that not only the Fuyu Island, even the Dianjing Valley, Li Ze Palace also can not be spared!

“The …… Shaoyang Sect is in the middle. …… is not in the pattern of the eight trigrams of the heaven, there is probably no Dinghai Iron Chain.”

Xuanji checked the position of Shaoyang Sect on the map.

Yu Sifeng has been thinking about this for a while, “The demon they are talking about …… is in ……”

He stammered, and Zhong Minyan immediately finished his sentence for him: “Just below the Shaoyang Sect? That’s not possible! I’ve never heard of such a thing!”

Yu Si Feng said in a low voice, “It’s only our speculation up to this point, whether it’s true or not is still uncertain. I think the demon is really so powerful, the ancient gods should suppress him in a place rich in spiritual energy. The most abundant immortal spirit under the sky, other than the Kunlun Mountain belongs to the …… stop, this matter is not something you and I can discuss. The most important thing right now is to go back to Gao’s mountain and find Linglong.”

Lu Yanran hurriedly said, “I will also go to find! I’ll go with you, one more person is one more strength!”

Yu Sifeng saw that she had just rushed back to the Fuyu Island, covered in dust and was about to leave again, she was also a girl who valued love and justice, so his dislike for her was mostly gone and he said gently, “We will rest and recuperate. Two days later we’ll leave.”

Lu Yanran got up and laughed: “The day we parted, we said, next time you come to Fuyu Island, I’ll take you to play, but who knows you all arrived earlier than I did. How about this, I’ll treat you tonight, there’s a great restaurant in town, let’s go eat something good. Next time when we bring back Linglong, we’ll have fun again.”

All of them are determined to go to find Linglong, in the end, there is strength in numbers, they are no longer so depressed, and go back to their rooms to rest.
