Beside the three pools with more misty mist and richer fog than anywhere, four young women in lilac clothes were now forced to a distance of only a few steps from the pool. About fifty feet away from them were standing quietly four male disciples in yellow robes.

Among these male disciples, the leader had thick eyebrows, big eyes, square face, and a very burly figure. He was the eldest disciple of Chenyang Sect, Wu Hao.

"Senior Brother, this place is really weird. Otherwise, let's retreat. Those girls know that this place is so evil, but they dare to walk here. Obviously, they are desperate."

"Yes, senior brother, let's leave quickly. This is Sanjing River. I feel that since I passed the mountain bay behind, I have been panicked, and some scenes I have never seen flashed in my mind. And have you seen it? These fogs have begun to turn blue. The toxicity has increased several times more than yesterday. If this continues, the poison avoidance pill we bring will be the first to be able to withstand it."

Wu Hao's face was gloomy when he heard the dissuasion of his fellow disciples behind him. Of course, he felt all the above strange phenomena revealed from their mouths. However, he was a little worried that he could not see the female disciples of Baihe Jianzhuang completely died. After he hesitated for a while, he said in a deep voice to the three fellow disciples behind him: "You all stay here and don't move, I'll go forward and take a look."

The three disciples behind him heard this and said in a shocked expression: "No, senior brother..."

Wu Hao raised his hand to interrupt them and continued, just saying, "Don't worry, I'll walk forward a little more and won't get close to those three pools. If it really doesn't work, I will withdraw immediately."

While he was talking, he raised his foot and walked forward.

At this moment, the four female disciples of Baihe Jianzhuang had completely arrived at the edge of the pool. The beautiful woman led by their team turned around and looked at the group of Chenyang Sect disciples behind her. After seeing Wu Hao finally caught up, she had endless pain in her heart.

They had to go to this point, and Wu Hao's strength was much higher than that of them. In the end, as the senior sister, she bit her silver teeth and said to the three classmates around her: "I have no choice. If you want to escape Wu Hao's claws, we can only swim through these three pools, otherwise we will all die."

Hearing this sentence, the three women present were undoubtedly pale. They were almost scared after approaching this area, because not only were there various incredible and terrifying scenes in their minds, but they also felt that they were being rejected by a force derived from the pool, as if they wanted to prevent them from constantly approaching the three pools.

After hearing what the senior sister said, one of the four of them stood up first and said coldly: "Since that's the case, let me do it first. I don't believe that these three pools can do anything to me!" Without waiting for the other three to stop, the woman walked towards the pool closest to them. Since she was already on the edge of the pool, she just walked a few steps and came to the pool.

The female disciple looked at the pool of blue smoke rising from the water surface in front of her, and suddenly felt her body shivering, causing her whole body to tremble slightly. It is impossible to swim through the pool in front of her, because it looks so strange. She opened her eyes and looked at the pool, but she couldn't see the bottom. It was green and secluded, like an ancient well, and the entire pool looked dead and silent, without seeing any signs of water flowing inside it. It was completely like a pool of silent stagnant water, and the most terrifying thing was that the bursts of blue smoke that came out of the pool actually had the fragrance of people's hearts.

While smelling the fragrance, the female disciple looked at the faint image of herself reflected in the pool. Then she gradually realized that under the long gaze, her shadow became more and more real, so that she began to be unable to tell whether it was herself in the pool or herself standing by the pool, which was the real self.

"Crazy!"

A huge splash of water stirred up from the pool.

The senior sister and others opened their eyes and saw their female disciples of the same sect and finally jumped into the pool.

The female disciple opened her arms, but she didn't know that she was the only one who felt that at this moment, she seemed to have turned into a bird, and what was waiting for her in front was not the deep green silent pool, but a vast blue sky.

What she didn't know was that here was not just her. As long as anything fell into the pool, it could only gently splash a splash of water. Then the pool would return to silence again, and everything entering the pool would inexplicably lose its trace, as if it was instantly sunk to the bottom of the pool.

Seeing this unexpected scene, the three senior sisters who were watching quietly by the pool were undoubtedly shocked by this. However, before they could react too much, they saw a trace of movement in the middle of the pool.

On the calm water, there were slight ripples.

Then, with the middle of the pool as the center, ripples spreading around it were ripples.

The ripples are getting denser and bigger.

The sound of water flowing like a mountain torrent is exploding.

They turned into huge waves that were rolling.

Immediately afterwards, the pool connected the two deep pools behind it, and it began to surge like a boiled pot of boiling water.

Until a huge head slowly rose from the pool.

It has two huge eyes, all green.

Staring at these outsiders.

...

On the periphery of Sanjing River.

There was about a mile away from the three pools. A young man in ragged clothes was recuperating. On a huge rock next to him, a woman was wearing the same clothes as him, but in a ten times better condition than him.

The woman was still in a coma at this moment, but even so, it was vaguely visible from her pretty face that she had a beautiful face like a shy flower in the moon. And about a quarter of an hour later, one of the woman's green jade fingers moved slightly, showing signs that she was about to wake up. However, Xu Yan, who was sitting cross-legged on the same huge rock, did not know this, and he was completely immersed in recovering his injuries.

It has been more than ten hours since he fled here from the edge of the mountain with Cai Zhenjing on his back to the front. Of course, this is not that Sanjingxi is really so far away from the mountain. However, after nightfall, Xu Yan did not continue to travel overnight, because there was a hint of weirdness everywhere in this area, and even he did not want to travel at night.

However, Xu Yan believed that it was not just that he thought so, Zhou Yu and the others who were chasing him and were bound to be the same.

"This time it's really over. The fog floating in the air has turned completely blue. Xu Yan, stop recuperating, open your eyes and take a look. You're going to kill me."

Hearing an urgent voice in his consciousness, Xu Yan, whose injuries on his body had recovered almost, finally opened his eyes slowly. He glanced at the fog floating above his head and found that it had turned into azure blue. He sighed and replied helplessly: "Xiao Cai, don't be so shocked, okay? I will definitely not let you die with me in this ghost place. Please relax. As long as you wait until all the people who should come, I will take them out of here. Then I will take you safely."

"How can I relax... Do you know where you are now? This place is only one mile away from the three pools. I might as well tell you that I can already feel a strong sense of crisis here. I think you should not wait for those minions here, just kill him and fight back. As long as you give your all your strength and cooperate with me, I am 70% sure that you can beat them all in one place."

"No, it's not possible now. Since I want to catch fish, I have to wait until all the big fish enter the net before I can close the net. You won't understand, Xiaocai, this is related to the rise and fall of the sect I am in. I can't be careless at all."

"Then don't take me with you to take this risk. I'm innocent. Moreover, you humans' minds are too complicated. You know how to intrigue all day long. For your own benefit, you can do everything. Oh, it seems that I really have to think about it seriously. Should I continue to practice according to the transformation technique you gave me? If one day, after I transform, I find that I'm as tired as you, then I don't want to."

Xu Yan couldn't help laughing and crying when he heard her innocent thoughts at this moment, but he was actually envious and understood that once upon a time, like Xiao Cai, he had this purity. But in the end, he sighed and said, "Even if what you are saying now is correct, have you ever thought that as long as you are still a spirit beast one day, you will be coveted by human practitioners one day. Don't you want to escape from this fate?"

"I must be thinking about it, otherwise why would I promise to be your spiritual pet? Alas, I'm just complaining to you casually. I'm still looking forward to breaking through level 7, or even level 8, or level 9. After all, if I can really reach that step one day, I will no longer be the Colorful Swallowing Heaven Python."

Before Xu Yan could continue speaking, Xiao Cai suddenly said to him: "Oh, the woman next to you seems to be awake. Alas, it's all her fault. If it weren't for her, you wouldn't have to run here. Beauty is a disaster, Xu Yan, you have to be more cautious."

When Xu Yan heard this, he couldn't help but laugh and scolded, "You are just too smart!"

Cai Zhenjing slowly opened her eyes, as if she was gently stoking the butterfly with her gentle wings. Then, she showed her big watery eyes. She got up lazily, feeling that her head was still groggy, but compared to the painful feeling before she was unconscious, it was much better now.

Then, she turned her head and saw Xu Yan sitting next to her. Seeing that the other party was looking at her calmly, her pretty face turned slightly red again, but she actually knew very well that the other party was definitely not mixed with any strange emotions except calmness. He was just looking at it.

"You finally woke up. Before they could catch up, they should adjust their breath and eat some dry food."

When Cai Zhenjing heard the other party say this, he had no objection, so he took out a dry sesame cake and a water bag from the storage bag given to her by the other party, and then started to eat it in a small stutter. After a while, she suddenly said to Xu Yan: "Thank you for saving me twice. Although we are not from our classmates, and we are even mortal enemies, I still want to thank you."

When Xu Yan heard this, his face remained calm, but he nodded slightly to her and said nothing.

Seeing that he was like this, Cai Zhenjing did not dare to be pretentious anymore.

In fact, she didn't know what to say more on this topic. The other party saved her like she was doing it casually. Not only did she not ask her to pay any reward for it. So, it was not until Cai Zhenjing finished eating the whole cake that she asked, "By the way, where is this?"

Xu Yan replied briefly: "Sanjingxi."

Hearing that this was the answer, Cai Zhenjing wanted to drink water to moisten his throat, but couldn't help but stagnate.

Seeing a curious look flashing across her face, Xu Yan stood up first. His eyes looked south and explained leisurely: "I was seriously injured after falling from the stalagmites yesterday. After that, in order to take you to escape with you, I could only run here. But you don't have to worry too much. This place is about one mile away from the real Sanjing River. As long as you don't keep getting closer, there will be no major problems."

Cai Zhenjing's face was melancholy, not knowing what to say, and she was a little reluctant to say anything, but she knew very well in her heart, obviously she had implicated him again. She pondered for a while before she thought about what she was going to say, but she heard Xu Yan, who had a solemn face, say to her first: "They are here. Your strength has not yet recovered and you don't have a sword. Go and hide behind the stone. Don't show your head before I told you to come out."

Cai Zhenjing didn't know who he was referring to as "they" but after hearing the unquestionable tone in his words, she still honestly hid behind the boulder they had rested together.

Half a quarter of an hour later.

Under Xu Yan's gaze, he saw a team of more than a dozen people rushing to the edge of the original name "Evil Stream". When they got completely close and about five feet still stopped, Xu Yan said meaningfully to one of them: "Senior Brother Zhou, it seems that your identity is indeed extraordinary. Why, at this time, you dare to be so blatantly confused with the disciples of Yunlan Sect. Is he consciously determined to eat me?"

Zhou Xian looked at him with a gloomy face and said coldly: "Whoever is the last name of Xu, please pretend to be in front of me. Qiu Yuanjin, let her come out together. I know she must be with you."

When Xu Yan heard this, he shook his head directly and replied truthfully: "Senior Sister Qiu is not with me."

Zhou Xian didn't believe this, so he snorted coldly, "Okay, since you still want to pretend to be garlic, then I will find her after I kill you. I have heard that Qiu Yuanjin loves you very much. Don't worry, when you die, I will treat her well for you and send her to Huangquan to accompany you as a couple of couples."

Xu Yan had no expression on his face, ignoring the other party's ridicule at all, but looked at another person in Zhou Xian's team. This person was different from everyone because he was wearing a yellow robe, which was a costume that only the disciples of Chenyang Sect had.

Xu Yan looked at Yan Ziyi, with a hint of murderous intent in his tone, and said straight to the point: "I asked you to run away twice before, but this time I want to see where you can escape."

Yan Ziyi could not help but be shocked when he heard the murderous intent in Xu Yan's tone. However, he had more than a dozen sword cultivators around him, and Zhou Yu was blocking him. He was not too panicked, so he didn't believe it. Even if Xu Yan was a fellow practitioner of sword martial arts, he could really deal with so many people in the Zhou family with his own strength.

Yan Ziyi replied coldly: "Xu Yan, you are really a crazy man who speaks wildly. In front of so many of us, you dare to speak so loudly."

After saying this, Yan Ziyi immediately sent a voice to Zhou Yu and Zhou Xian beside him: "Two, let's do it quickly to prevent changes. Xu Yan is a cunning person. He dares to wait for us here so confidently, so he must have some support."

After hearing this, Zhou Yu did not follow his wishes, but asked: "Brother Yan said before that Brother Wu is here, where are others? Why didn't I see him?"

Yan Ziyi saw that the other party was still struggling with this problem, and couldn't help but curse in his heart, but his face remained calm and replied: "The eldest brother is naturally still in the front position, and Xu Yan is not stupid. He is blocking the position here and deliberately prevents us from cooperating with the eldest brother inside and outside. But as long as the second young master can knock him back again and force him upstream, after turning over the mountain bay in front of him, my eldest brother and others will naturally see us."

Seeing that Zhou Yu was still hesitating, Yan Ziyi struck while the iron was hot and said in a serious tone: "Second Master, don't hesitate anymore. Even if you don't have my senior brother, wouldn't you still be Xu Yan's opponent with your strength?"

When Zhou Yu heard this, his tone was immediately dissatisfied: "When Xu Yan was on the stalagmites, he was beaten to the ground by me. How could he be my opponent?"

"So what are you still struggling with?"

Upon hearing this, Zhou Yu turned to look at Yan Ziyi and said slowly: "I just think, compared to us, why do I feel that Brother Yan seems to be more anxious than us to kill Xu Yan? And Xu Yan said just now that he asked Brother Yan to escape twice. Do you not plan to explain?"

Yan Ziyi saw that the other party was so serious and suspected that he had reached his head, and knew that if he didn't say something, he would definitely not be able to get through. After pondering for a while, he had to tell him about the conflict with Xu Yan when he was at the yellow-haired spear, and then briefly described the previous encounter with Xu Yan when he was climbing the mountain. However, after he said these things from him, his escaped part was changed to retreating with a desperate defeat.

However, after hearing Yan Ziyi's explanation, Zhou Yu had no words. Zhou Xian, who was beside the two, immediately said coldly: "Sure enough, cousin Zhou Mi died at the hands of this surname Xu. This guy also told Elder Sun that his cousin died under the hoof claws of the spirit beast. Good you Chen Qinghe, you dare to protect this surname Xu like this, and I will definitely let you pay the price together."

Zhou Yu, as a direct child, naturally knew about Zhou Mi's death at Huangmaojian, but when Zhou Xian came back, he did not clearly say that it was Xu Yan's work, so the matter was put aside. But now, by chance, he heard Yan Ziyi tell the whole story and the truth about the whole matter, and in his heart, he couldn't help but hate him.

Compared to Yan Ziyi's saying that Wu Hao was in Sanjingxi would make Zhou Yu feel doubtful. However, he did not doubt the other party at all when Zhou Mi was killed, because he concluded that Yan Ziyi did not know that Zhou Mi would have a brotherly relationship with them. Naturally, the other party had no need to deliberately create a false story for this.

Therefore, Zhou Yu was basically sure that this matter was most of the time.

After learning the truth about this, Zhou Yu looked at Xu Yan again and there was undoubtedly another hatred murderous intent. Zhou Xian may not care about Zhou Mi's life and death, but Zhou Yu, who grew up with him since childhood, cared about the latter's life and death, because in some aspects, in his heart, Zhou Mi, who was two years older than him, was actually more like his brother than Zhou Xian.

So, the next moment, on the bank of this evil stream, a young man in a green robe suddenly raised his sword and ran forward wildly.

Zhou Xian looked at the scene coldly, and a curl appeared slightly on the corner of his mouth.
