Chapter 188 He Is Not Dead
On the weedy path, a black shadow was running around in a panic, letting the thorns on the roadside cut his clothes and skin and bleeding without caring to deal with it.
When the night gradually darkened and there was no movement in the dense jungle behind him, the black shadow breathed a sigh of relief.
Dragging his tired body, he slowly passed through the last jungle path and came to a pavilion beside the official road. He fell on the ground and gasped.
His gloomy face was full of fatigue and paleness, and he looked extremely embarrassed.
But his gloomy eyes revealed his anger. He stared at the jungle behind him, gritting his teeth with a gloomy face.
"Lin Jiangnian, I will take your life!"
After saying this, his face was as heavy as death.
This person was the great elder of the Tianshen Sect who had fled all the way.
Last night in Luma Town, he met the Prince of Lin and planned to assassinate him at night, but he didn't expect that the Prince of Lin had been prepared. He fell into the trap and suffered heavy losses.
The five confidants who had followed him for many years were wiped out!
Thinking of this, the elder was furious and extremely sad.
Those five people were loyal confidants who had been with him for many years. This time, all of them were killed here, which was tantamount to a heavy blow.
More importantly, the loss of so many masters in the sect was also a big challenge to his position in the Tianshen Sect.
Although he was the elder of the Tianshen Sect, there were still several elders in the Tianshen Sect who were eyeing his position. After this incident, the leader would definitely question him and even shake his position.
Thinking of this, the elder's hatred for Lin Jiangnian deepened a lot!
This time, it was considered a failure!
Not only did he lose five of his confidants, but he also had to flee in a panic, avoiding the pursuit of the guards around the Prince of Lin along the way, and fled here.
At this moment, he had been fleeing for a whole day and night, and was already exhausted, and his internal strength was almost depleted.
Sitting in the pavilion, the elder collapsed on the ground, panting.
At this moment, he was thirsty and hungry, and sat up with difficulty, looking up and looking forward.
Not far away was the official road.
On the official road, the surrounding area was also desolate.
The distance was endless, and no one could be seen.
Seeing this scene, the elder's heart was half cold.
This place is in the middle of nowhere, and there is no one. If he doesn't find a way to find a place to get some food and a place to recuperate for a while, he will probably die here if he doesn't die at the hands of Lin Jiangnian.
Although the official road is desolate, you can occasionally run into merchants passing by along the way, or people who are traveling around the world. Stop the other party and ask him to give you a ride, or ask for some food.
However, the elder waited on the official road for more than an hour, until it was completely dark, and it was pitch black all around, but he still didn't see a single person.
"What the hell!"
The night was dark, and there was no one around the official road, and you couldn't see your hand in front of you. After dark, there were even fewer people on the official road.
The late autumn wind was raging, and the surrounding jungle grass and trees were rustling in the cold wind. The cold wind fell on the elder, and he couldn't help shivering.
In the past, he didn't need to worry about the cold because he had a strong internal force to protect himself. But now he has exhausted his internal force while fleeing, and he is cold and hungry, and he really can't stand it.
"I have a great reputation in my life, but I ended up like this?"
The elder couldn't help feeling a little sad.
As the chief elder of the Heavenly God Religion, although the Heavenly God Religion is not well-known in the world, there are many believers. He is almost second to none in the Heavenly God Religion!
But now, he has ended up like this?
As he felt sad, he became more and more angry.
All this was thanks to the prince of Lin Wang!
His eyes were fierce and his face was gloomy.
He must avenge this vengeance.
Just when it was late at night and the chief elder thought that no one would pass by tonight.
Suddenly, there was a movement on the official road not far away.
In the distance, there seemed to be a carriage passing by.
Hearing this movement, the chief elder was full of energy.
Someone?
Great!
At this moment, the cold and hungry chief elder's eyes suddenly lit up, and he looked up and stared at the place not far away. In the dim and dark environment, a carriage could be vaguely seen slowly approaching.
The next second, the figure of the chief elder disappeared from the spot.
...
On the official road.
It was late at night and there was no one.
A carriage was driving on the official road in the dark. It was quiet all around, with only the strong wind blowing.
Outside the carriage, two women in black robes were driving the carriage. They had sharp eyes and slow breathing. They were obviously masters with good internal strength.
Inside the carriage, it was warm as spring.
Two young women sat in the carriage, wrapped in blankets, bored. The weak light flickered.
"Saint, there is no village in front and no shop behind tonight. I'm afraid there is no place to rest."
Ling'er whispered.
"It's okay."
On the other side, a figure in a red skirt was wrapped in a blanket. Her eyes were calm and she glanced out the window.
Pitch black!
Traveling in the dark is not a good choice. But there are no villages or shops around today, and the surroundings are even more desolate. There is no place to stay, so we can only continue to travel in the dark.
"I heard that there are many ferocious beasts in this area. I don't know if I will encounter them."
As if thinking of something, Ling'er's face turned a little pale.
In the surrounding wild mountains and ridges, it is inevitable that you will encounter some wild beasts. Of course, you are more likely to encounter bandits and bandits who dominate the mountains.
But the strange thing is that when she followed the saint from Xunyang City all the way north, she didn't encounter any bandits on the way.
Although this is an official road and there are few bandits, this place is too desolate and the government cannot control it. Logically speaking, there should be a lot of bandits and bandits, but for the life of me, not a single person was seen.
Could it be that the folk customs around here are simple, the people are kind-hearted, live and work in peace and contentment, and no one does anything like turning grass into bandits?
"Are you afraid?"
Liu Su glanced at her lightly.
Ling'er was indeed a little scared, but when she heard the saint ask this, she immediately shook her head: "Not afraid."
She is not afraid of bandits and bandits. With the saint here, any bandits and bandits are not worth mentioning. But she was instinctively afraid of the dark beasts in the mountains.
Liu Su glanced at her and said nothing. His eyes fell on the dark scenery outside the window again, not knowing what he was thinking, he was silent and dazed.
Ling'er glanced at the saint a few times, still feeling a little worried in her heart.
Saint, she is still in a bad mood.
Along the way from Xunyang City, the saint spent most of her time in silence and daze. Occasionally, a hint of sadness could be seen on the saint's face.
It's hard to describe.
Ling'er wanted to ask, but didn't dare.
Holy girl, what happened?
Looking at the dazed expression of the Saint, Ling'er seemed to have thought of something and said cautiously: "I don't know how the Great Elder and the others are doing..."
After the Wang family was wiped out, the saint took her and the elder and the others to part ways. The saint hid her whereabouts and headed north without attracting anyone's attention.
But the Great Elder and the others heard that their whereabouts were discovered by the Xunyang City defenders and they were hunted down. They didn’t know what was happening now.
Liu Su looked away, with a hint of sneer in her tone: "I hope they fall into the hands of the Xunyang defenders..."
Hearing this, Ling'er was a little frightened.
The leader strictly prohibits infighting within the sect, but the saint blatantly hopes that something will happen to the great elder...
If this is heard by someone who cares.
"Holy girl, be careful what you say!"
Ling'er reminded softly.
Liu Su's eyes were indifferent: "This person who has no access to the village and no store behind him, what are you afraid of?"
"Is it possible that you are still afraid of someone?"
It was just a joke, but just after Liu Sugang opened his mouth. As if he noticed something, he turned to look out the window.
At the same time, the carriage that was originally driving on the official road slowly stopped.
"who?"
A shout of surprise came from outside the carriage.
In the middle of the night, there was no one around, how could I meet anyone?
Friend or enemy?
Liu Su's expression was slightly condensed, and when he was about to get up, he suddenly heard another exclamation from outside the carriage.
"Great Elder?!"
Hearing this, Liu Su and Ling'er in the carriage looked at each other.
Immediately, Liu Su opened the car curtain and walked out.
It was a quiet night, dark and dark, with a cold wind howling.
A figure blocked the official road, blocking the way of the carriage.
When she saw the other party's figure clearly, Liu Su was obviously a little surprised.
"Great Elder?!"
At the same time, the great elder who was preparing to intercept the carriage on the official road was also stunned.
"Liu Su?!"
That familiar and majestic figure in red standing on the carriage, who else could it be if it wasn't Liu Su?
Actually, we will meet here? !
Liu Su looked at the great elder who was above the official level with a somewhat surprised expression. Why was he here?
Wait, she noticed something quickly...
At this moment, the great elder looked miserable, his clothes were in tatters, his face was pale and haggard, as if he had been injured.
What happened?
And, what about the others?
"Great Elder, what's wrong with you?"
Liu Su narrowed her eyes and stared at him.
"It's a long story, I got it wrong this time!"
When he saw Liu Su, the great elder looked a little ugly. But at this moment, he was exhausted and couldn't care less.
"Is there anything to eat or drink?"
The great elder looked pale and very weak. He had been hungry for a day and a night and had consumed a lot of energy. His body could no longer bear it.
On the carriage, Liu Su looked at the great elder in front of him and frowned slightly.
Some surprises, some shocks.
She knew very well the Great Elder's skills. There were not many people in the world who could hurt him. Even if he was defeated, he could still escape calmly without being in such an embarrassing situation.
what happened?
There was a moment of silence.
"Ling'er, bring some food to the great elder."
Liu Su gave instructions, and Ling'er behind him took out some dry food and water and handed them to the great elder.
The great elder took the dry food and water, but carefully inspected them, sniffed them closely, and after making sure there were no problems, he started eating in big mouthfuls. Although it tastes terrible, it fills your stomach.
When Liu Su saw this scene, she sneered a little, but she didn't show it.
"Great Elder, what is going on?"
Liu Su looked at him, then glanced at the dark jungle path behind him: "Why are you here? Where are the others?"
The elder, who had regained his composure a little after eating the food, looked particularly gloomy when he heard these words.
"They're all dead!"
Liu Su's expression condensed, "How did you die?"
"Who did you meet?"
The great elder raised his head and glanced at Liu Su, then said in a deep voice: "Lin Jiangnian!"
"who?!"
Liu Su suddenly raised his head and stared at him with a bit of shock in his eyes.
"Lin Jiangnian!"
The elder's face was gloomy and livid. : "Prince Lin."
"Isn't he dead?!"
There was a tremor in Liu Su's voice.
"Not dead!"
The elder didn't notice Liu Su's reaction at this time, and said in a low voice: "We were all deceived by him. He is not dead and alive and well!"
"I happened to meet him on my way north this time. I wanted to take the opportunity to kill him, but I didn't expect to fall into his trap..."
The elder's face was angry and his eyes were resentful. He didn't notice that Liu Su's face in the carriage had completely changed.
When she heard the news that Lin Jiangnian was not dead, she was full of astonishment and her eyes were dull.
Unbelievable!
Not dead!
He, not dead?
Still, alive?
Liu Su was in a trance for a long time. When she came to her senses, an indescribable joy suddenly surged in her heart.
The haze that had been suppressed in her heart for so many days seemed to disappear at this moment.
That guy, he is not dead?
He, is still alive and well?
It is difficult to describe Liu Su's mood at this moment, as if he was lucky enough to have survived a disaster.
He breathed a sigh of relief.
"You, are you telling the truth?"
Liu Su stared at him, her voice trembling: "He, is not dead?"
"I saw it with my own eyes, how could it be false?"
The elder's face was livid: "This time, I am the one who failed!"
"I must avenge this hatred... When I meet the leader, I will definitely summon the elite masters of the sect to kill him..."
The elder was so angry that his teeth itched.
He had never experienced such a miserable situation before, and he must avenge this hatred.
At this point, the elder looked up and found that Liu Su's reaction was a little strange.
"What's wrong with you?"
"It's okay..."
Liu Su, who finally came to her senses, took a deep breath.
She gradually calmed down, and when her eyes fell on the elder again, they gradually became colder.
The elder tried to assassinate Lin Jiangnian but failed, and was plotted against, and almost wiped out the whole army?
He was the only one left?
The night was as dark as ink. Liu Su, who was sitting on the carriage, was wearing a stunning red dress. The cold wind blew her skirt, and a strand of black hair fluttered in the wind.
She narrowed her eyes and looked at the elder in front of her, who looked embarrassed and seemed to be at the end of his strength. There was a bit of sharpness in her eyes.
This sharpness was instantly noticed by the elder.
He felt a little alert. Although he and Liu Su were both members of the Heavenly God Sect, they usually had a bad relationship. He had to be on guard at this moment when he was in trouble.
"What does the elder mean? You met Lin Jiangnian in Lu Ma Town and were ambushed by him, causing the loss of many masters of the Heavenly God Sect?"
Liu Su looked down at him quietly.
"Elder, how are you going to explain this to the leader?"
The elder said in a deep voice: "I will report this to the leader!"
"Do you think the leader will forgive you?"
Liu Su spoke calmly, but a playful look appeared on her beautiful face.
The elder snorted coldly: "The Saint Girl won't bother to care about you."
"You think too much, I don't care about you."
Liu Su shook her head gently.
"I was just wondering, since they are all dead, why... Elder, you are still alive?"
The elder's pupils suddenly shrank: "What do you mean?!"
Liu Su smiled meaningfully: "What do you think, Elder?"
In the darkness, Liu Su's beautiful and delicate face was smiling, but this smile seemed to be a bit cold no matter how you look at it.
The elder seemed to realize something, his face suddenly darkened, and a trace of fear and dread flashed in his eyes: "You, what do you want to do?!"
"..."
