Before the Empress Goes Dark, Adopt Her as a Villain

Chapter 94: Reunion with an Old Friend

At the hour of the Ox, the four arrived at the east gate of Cangyun City on time.

The soldiers guarding the city rushed up and shouted loudly, thinking it was someone. However, after Meng Cangran showed the token of a Confucian disciple, he immediately tucked his tail between his legs and dared not say a word.

"Brother Ning, we will just wait here under the city." Meng Cangran said, while pointing to the east.

"The headquarters of the Heart Devouring Sect is in the distance. The battle will be led by the elders in person. It will probably start soon."

Ning Wuxie nodded and hugged Xuan'er into his arms to protect her from the cold wind at night.

Seeing this, Zhuang Yuerou walked to Meng Cangran and gently pulled Meng Cangran's sleeve.

Meng Cangran turned his head and saw Zhuang Yuerou raised her chin towards Ning Wuxie and the others.

His face flushed slightly, thought about it, opened his arms, and gently hugged Zhuang Yuerou.

The four stood under the city gate that had been pulled up, looking to the east, waiting for the action to begin.

Suddenly, flames burst out from the dark mountains in the distance, bursting out like fireworks.

At the same time, various colors of true energy flashed across, and countless figures soared into the sky, rushing towards the fire.

The battle began.

Although no sound could be heard from hundreds of miles away, the intensity of the battle could still be imagined.

"The five of the ten great Confucian sages are leading the team this time. They are all powerful immortals. There must be no problem."

Meng Cangran clenched his fists, his expression a little excited.

Ning Wuxie also looked quietly to the east, but he did not relax his vigilance like Meng Cangran.

He was worried about Huangquanke. Maybe the other party was watching him in the darkness in the distance.

He kept probing his spiritual sense and checking the surrounding situation. Everything seemed normal, and no strange existence broke into this area.

Except...

It was a little too quiet.

How long has it been since the guards on the city wall yawned?

They would have talked to their comrades from time to time.

But since when, there has been silence on the high wall behind him...

Ning Wuxie was startled and turned back!

There was no one on the wall, and all the soldiers guarding the city were gone.

"Brother Meng! There is something wrong on the wall!"

Meng Cangran and Zhuang Yuerou also looked at the wall and were stunned.

"Where are the people?"

Just then, the gate on the east side of Cangyun City suddenly moved.

The gate slowly opened, making a huge rumble, which was particularly harsh in the quiet early morning.

The gate only opened a crack, and then a figure emerged from it.

He was wearing a red and white brocade robe and a red and white mask on his face.

Even though he was hundreds of meters away, Ning Wuxie still saw that he was looking straight at him!

Ning Wuxie was surprised again. This person was wearing the clothes of the Heart Devouring God Sect and did not seem to be a Huangquan guest. How could he recognize him?

Is it another disguise?

But then, this person slowly raised his hand and took off the mask on his face.

Suddenly, Ning Wuxie and Xuan'er in his arms were shocked!

Jiang Ren!

It was Jiang Ren! He was not mistaken!

Ning Wuxie felt that his brain was about to explode. How could Jiang Ren be here? Wasn't he with Li Luobing in the Hermit Valley?

Wasn't the Yellow Spring Guest sent by him and Li Luobing?

He was originally on guard against the Yellow Spring Guest, but he didn't expect that it was Jiang Ren who came to his door? !

Moreover, Jiang Ren was wearing the robe of the Heart Devouring Sect. He joined the Demonic Path!

Then why did the Heart Devouring Sect appear here now!

Everything was entangled together, making Ning Wuxie feel confused!

He had been away from the Hermit Valley for a long time, so it was normal that he didn't know the situation there.

Li Luobing had joined the Human Sect and became a formal disciple of the Human Sect. Jiang Ren also escaped from the Hermit Valley before her. Through underground connections, he found people in the Demonic Path and joined the Heart Devouring Sect.

However, the appearance of the demon of the Heart Devouring Sect here cast a dark cloud over the entire action of the Confucianists!

While they were surprised, Jiang Ren put on his mask again and rushed towards the four people at the same time!

They were about to draw their swords to resist, but suddenly they felt the movement coming from their feet!

Puff puff puff!

Several blood thorns as thick as fists rose from the ground and surrounded the four people from four directions. Each blood thorn continued to grow and entangle, trying to weave into a cage!

Meng Cangran's expression changed, and he immediately sacrificed the Confucian Gentleman Sword and slashed at the blood thorns extending from the ground.

Zhuang Yuerou also drew her sword and faced another blood thorn.

The two blood thorns were attacked and could only stop growing. They faced Meng Cangran and the other two, and this gave Ning Wuxie a chance. He pulled Xuan'er and rushed out of the blood thorns!

This is not selling out teammates, but someone has to kill the controller of the formation!

"Jiang Ren! You actually joined the magic way, aren't you afraid of bringing shame to your sister?!" Ning Wuxie roared, and a green spiritual light flashed in his palm, and the spiritual sword flew out and rotated in his palm.

There is also a trace of Jiang Ren's sword intent in this.

"I don't know who you are talking about!"

Jiang Ren also roared. Although he didn't admit it, the resentment and anger in his words were real. Anyone who heard it would think that he had some grudge with the man in front of him.

This is exactly the case!

Jiang Ren stepped forward and stretched out his hand to reveal a blood-colored flying sword. There was a liquid flowing on it. It was not true qi, but human blood!

But this was obviously not his blood, because his face was normal and he didn't look like he had lost blood at all.

It can only be the blood of those innocent people!

"How dare you show off after a defeated general!" Ning Wuxie snorted coldly, and without any politeness, directly used the Tianxin Sword Formation!

Using the sword as a guide, a cylindrical white light suddenly shot out, enveloping Jiang Ren. Everything in the white light, even the dive of the Blood Flying Sword, slowed down.

But Jiang Ren was obviously well prepared. Seeing the white light emitting from the tip of Ning Wuxie's sword, he bit the tip of his tongue, and his whole body suddenly burst into a puff of blood mist!

The white light from the Tianxin Sword Formation was already extremely fast and arrived in an instant, but his spell was even faster, allowing him to teleport from where he was to several meters away!

Only a piece of human-shaped blood mist was left, floating in the white light, and its speed was slowed down, as if it was frozen.

"You idiot, can the same trick work twice?!"

Jiang Ren laughed and mocked.

Ning Wuxie withdrew the Tianxin Sword Formation and smiled slightly:

"What should I say to you, Jiang Ren? Although you have escaped, you have still made no progress for such a long time."

"What did you say?!" Jiang Ren raised his eyebrows and his eyes widened in anger.

"I am now at the seventh level of the Golden Core! I have also mastered many new magical powers, and I also have magic weapons at my side!"

"Today, I will take your life!"

At this point, he stopped pretending and started scolding Ning Wuxie directly.

"Then do you still remember the rules we set when we dueled in Lishan?"

Ning Wuxie said without changing his expression.

"Rule: You can only rely on yourself."

As soon as these words came out, Jiang Ren's expression changed.

"You will always be the loser who only relies on others!" Ning Wuxie sneered, showing no mercy.

But this time, Jiang Ren did not get angry again, but gritted his teeth and shook his head: "Don't even think about using provoking methods again. This time, no matter what means I use, I will kill you!"

As soon as he finished speaking, two people suddenly emerged from the ground on both sides of Ning Wuxie!

In the dust that filled the sky, two people attacked Ning Wuxie at the same time, both of them were killing moves!

They were actually two other Jindan realm cultivators!
