On a small path in the forest, a gentle breeze blew, causing the clothes of the passersby to flutter. Zhang Qingyun took out a handkerchief from his chest and said, "I've been here for so many days. I wonder if that person is still around."

Miao Rufei raised her head to look at the handkerchief in his hand and curiously asked, "Who is this? What is this?" He reached for the handkerchief in his hand.

Lei Zhaoting snatched the handkerchief away from Zhang Qingyun and said, "This has nothing to do with you."

Miao Rufei cordially said, "Little Sister Ting, I have no other intentions. If you don't allow me to look, then I won't."

Lei Zhaoting replied in a strange tone, "Who is your sister? I can't bear to see you acting so coy."

Zhang Qingyun did not know whether to laugh or cry. He could only say, "Let's get down to business and think of a way to find her."

Miao Rufei asked, "Woman, what kind of woman is she? Can I take a look?" As he spoke, he glanced at Lei Zhaoting.

Lei Qiuting extended her arm to Miao Ruofei's side and said, "If you want to see it, just do it. Don't pretend to be so pitiful. Let others think that I'm lying to you." Saying that, he glared at Zhang Qingyun.

Zhang Qing looked at the two of them and laughed, because he didn't know what to say, so he could only smile.

Miao Rufei took the handkerchief and looked at it in shock, "Isn't this the Violet Cloud Pavilion Master?"

Zhang Lei and Zhang Mo looked at each other and said, "What? It's the Purple Cloud Pavilion's head? That's unlikely."

Lei Qiuting took the handkerchief from her hands and looked at the woman under the plum blossom tree picking up the petals. She slightly bent her waist and pinched a single petal, revealing only half of her face. "How can you be so sure that this is the Violet Cloud Hall Master?"

Miao Rufei said, "The woman on the handkerchief, even though she doesn't look like the Purple Cloud Pavilion Master from half of your eyes, her expression and eyes won't change." Cover your face and just look at her eyes. "

Lei Qiuting covered the face of the woman in the painting with her hand, revealing only her eye. She compared it with the other eye and felt that it was very similar. He couldn't help but say, "Yes, this is the Violet Cloud Pavilion Master."

Zhang Qingyun said, "Isn't that too reckless? One eye, the other the back of a person, I see that Pavilion Master Ziyun is a person of great status, there is no one in this painting with her overweening aura." I feel that she is a person who keeps her promises. She does not seem to be someone who has anything to do with the Life and Death Cards. "

Miao Rufei said, "We don't know who she is or what she's capable of."

Lei Qiuting said, "Why don't we go ask her and find out?"

"If you ask him, would he tell you?" Miao Rufei asked.

Lei Qiuting glared at Miao Rufei and said, "You ?" She turned around and snorted at Qing Yun, "Brother Yun, tell me what we should do."

Zhang Qingyun looked up at the sky and said, "It's getting late, let's find an inn first."

The three of them returned to the town, and the inn that had settled down was still the same Elegant Luck Inn. Lei Yuting angrily went back to her room after having a meal.

Miao Rufei said, "Big brother Qingyun, why don't you go take a look at her?"

Zhang Qingyun said, "Fei'er, she treats you so well, yet you treat her so well. I really don't know what she thinks." How could a little boy like him understand the subtle feelings in a girl's heart?

Miao Rufei said, "You should go up first. Don't let anything happen to her." She then pushed Zhang Qingyun up the stairs.

Zhang Qingyun walked to the door and knocked, "Tingting." Are you in there? "

Lei Qiuting opened the door from the inside and said, "Brother Yun, come in."

When Zhang Qingyun saw that her tears were still fresh, his eyes shined. "Tingting, why are you crying?"

Lei Zhaoting threw herself into Zhang Qingyun's arms and cried bitterly.

Zhang Qingyun did not know what to do, and gently said, "Tingting. What happened, will you tell me? "

Lei Zhaoting punched Zhang Qingyun in the chest a few times, saying, "It's all your fault. I get angry when I see you and her flirting. I think of my brother, he wouldn't bully me like you did."

Zhang Qingyun held Lei Zhaoting in his arms and said, "It's all my fault. I made you sad. Please stop crying, okay?"

Lei Qiuting said, "You are not allowed to help her in the future."

Zhang Qingyun said, "No, actually, Fei'er is a good person."

Lei Zhaoting pushed Zhang Qingyun away with a palm, "Why do you keep mentioning her? Don't mention her in front of me. If you do, I'll be angry and put on an act." "Just watching is annoying."

Miao Rufei had just finished eating and walked to the corridor on the second floor. Suddenly, a shadow flashed in front of her and she called out, "Who is it?!"

Miao Rufei used her toes to push off the railing and rushed to the roof as well. She quickly chased after the man in black. When they reached a forest, the man in black suddenly stopped.

Miao Rufei asked, "Who are you? Why did you lure me here?"

The black clothed man said, "Fei'er, even I don't recognize him anymore."

Miao Rufei turned pale with fright as she hurriedly knelt down and said, "Fei'er greets Master."

The man in black said, "Fei'er, you did well. Now, I have another mission for you."

Miao Rufei said, "Master, Fei has something to report to master."

The man in black said, "If you want to say something, then say it."

Miao Rufei said, "Zhang Qingyun and the rest have already discovered the Violet Cloud Pavilion Master."

The man in black said, "What happened? How did they find out?"

Miao Rufei said, "Fei'er said it."

The man in black waved his sleeve, and an enormous gust of wind from his sleeve forced Miao Rufei back three feet. He said harshly, "You dare betray me." "Tell me, what is it?"

Miao Rufei immediately got to her knees and said, "Fei'er swears her life she won't betray Master." It was unknown where they got a handkerchief with the head of the Purple Cloud Pavilion on it. Even if Fei'er didn't say it out loud, they would have discovered it themselves. "

The black clothed man said, "I already know about this matter, so let Liu'er handle it herself. Your current mission is to have Zhang Qingyun gather all four of the Heavenly Jewels at the Great Ba Mountain."

Miao Rufei answered, "Yes, master."

The black clothed man said: "Of the four Heavenly Jewels, Young Master Lin and Wu Dang each have one, and my Master also has one. The one Master has will appear in the martial arts world in a few days' time. You have to get it from Zhang Qingyun. "

Miao Rufei replied, "Yes, Master. However, how could Shaolin, Wu Dang, and the two God Orbs in his hands be easy to obtain?" I'm afraid Zhang Qingyun does not have that kind of ability. "

The black clothed man said, "I have my own plans for this. You two go get the Pearl of the Vermillion Bird first. Go back quickly. They will suspect you once you're out for a long time."

Miao Rufei replied, "Yes, Master." "Fei'er greets Master." Raising his head, he saw that the man in black had disappeared without a trace.

Zhang Qingyun finally managed to persuade Lei Zhaoting from upstairs, but when he noticed that Miao Rufei was gone, he asked, "Where did Fei'er go? She was here just a moment ago."

Lei Zhaoting said, "Who knows where she will be. Who knows, maybe when he got angry, he would run away."

At this moment, Miao Rufei walked in from the door and said, "I'm not like some people. I just think the moonlight tonight is pretty good, so I went out for a walk."

Zhang Qingyun said, "Fei, it's good that you're fine."

Lei Qiuting asked, "Miao Rufei, what are you talking about?"

Miao Rufei grinned and said, "Don't tell me you don't know what I'm talking about?"

Zhang Qingyun said, "Alright, since everyone has nothing to do, let's rest early. We still need to go to the Purple Cloud Incense Pavilion tomorrow."

Lei Yu Ting became angry from the humiliation and said, "Miao Rufei, you better remember this. You better not fall into my hands or I'll tear your skin off and see what you change."

Miao Rufei walked up the stairs by herself without even glancing at her.

Lei Qiuting was even more angry. She stared at him like she was spitting fire. Suddenly, she noticed that the bottom of her skirt was covered with dust. She muttered, "If you go out for a walk, you'll be covered in dust."

The next day, after the three finished their breakfast, Zhang Qingyun said, "Let's go."

Walking on the road, Miao Rufei asked, "Big brother Qingyun, have you heard of the Evil Lord's treasure?"

Zhang Qingyun asked curiously, "Fei'er, how did you know?"

Miao Rufei said, "I heard Master say before that the Evil Lord's treasure was in the Central Plains."

Lei Zhaoting said, "Is that so? Where did you go last night? How come you were covered in dust when you came back?"

Miao Rufei calmly said, "I'm just going out to walk around. I'm not going anywhere."

Lei Qiuting looked at her with suspicion. "Is that so?"

Miao Rufei replied, "Yes, yes. If you don't believe me, then forget it." He ignored her.

As the three of them entered the forest, they saw a fight going on in the forest. Six black-clothed people were surrounding an old man in his sixties. The old man wore a purple robe and had a golden-purple crown on his head. His eyes were bright and full of spirit. The sword in his hand danced so closely that not even wind could pass through. His body was light and quick.

The six men in black were all experts as well, and their moves were abnormally vicious.

Miao Rufei said, "These people are too shameless. The six of them are fighting against an old man. Big Brother Qing Yun, let's go help the old man."

Just as Zhang Qingyun wanted to go over, he remembered Grandma Lu's words, in this unclear situation, don't rashly take action, otherwise it would bring endless trouble, and he said, "Fei'er, we still have important things to do, and the old man might not lose, his martial arts is very high, his door is very tightly guarded, and his movements are extremely orderly, and even though the six moves are ruthless, they carry a heavy burden, and his inner strength is not as good as the old man's. We don't have to worry about him. We have to do our own things. "

Lei Qiuting made a face in front of her and said, "You can't even meddle in your own matters, and you're still in the mood to care about other people's matters." While running, he caught up to Zhang Qingyun and said, "Brother Yun, you're really vicious, so that you can see through it."

Miao Rufei's eyes flashed. She waited for the two of them to walk a little further away before a dart flew out from her hand and struck the old man. She smiled and said, "Big Brother Qing Yun, wait for me."

The old man was in the midst of a bitter battle with the six people. He did not expect that a flying dart would come at him, and by the time he discovered it, it was already too late. Stabbing into their chests, the six of them let out a blood-curdling screech as their attacks became even more ruthless and swift.

A blood-curdling scream caused Zhang Qingyun to turn his head, only to see his purple robe was already stained with blood. His moves were not as fast as before as he muttered, "This is impossible." With a leap, both palms struck out with astonishing might.

The six of them suddenly felt a huge gust of wind hit them. Each of them took a step back and rotated their bodies. Each of them threw out a palm attack, and the two palms collided with each other as if there was thunder.

Zhang Qingyun was pushed back three to four feet by the combined power of these six people, blood trickling from the corner of his mouth.

The six people were knocked to the ground. They used their swords to prop themselves up and said, "Who are you, kid?"

Zhang Qingyun's vital energy and blood were in disarray. He was about to speak, but blood spurted out from his mouth with a 'pu' sound. He felt extremely dizzy.

Miao Rufei released her long whip, pointed it with her toe, and floated in front of the six men. With a shake of her whip, she struck out at the man in black. The man in black seemed to be severely injured and was forced back by the whip. He retreated past the bend in the forest.

Zhang Qingyun circulated his Qi, and suddenly felt that the evil Qi in his body had been reduced by quite a bit. He walked up to the old man and said, "Senior, are you alright?"

The old man sat on the ground, his lips were already starting to turn black, and he said with a tremble, "This dart is coated with a great poison, now that the poison has attacked my heart, I won't be able to live much longer. Please help me light up this firecracker, and my people will immediately hear about it."

Lei Zhaoting took the bamboo cannon, walked away for a few steps, and lit it. The bamboo cannon shot up into the sky, blooming into a purple flower.

"Thank you for saving us, Young Hero. The Dian Cang Sect will never forget your great kindness." His words were intermittent and extremely strenuous. Then his body began to tremble, and he was trying his best to endure the great pain.

Zhang Qingyun quickly sat cross-legged and said, "Senior, now that I have helped you inject zhenqi, you will feel better."

The old man felt a warm feeling on his back, and his heart felt at ease. He said, "Young hero, don't waste your true qi."

Lei Qiuting said, "Brother Yun, you were just injured, stop trying to be brave. You'll be severely injured if you do that."

The elder said, "This lady is right, those people will come again. Don't waste your time on a dying person like me." He fell to the ground.

Zhang Qingyun drew his Qi back into his dantian, and with the old man's inner body, he said, "I saw that senior's martial arts are extraordinary, how could he be hit by their hidden weapons?"

The old man said, "There are still assassins here. They're hidden in the shadows. The ones I hit are not the concealed weapons."

Zhang Qingyun looked around. The forest was silent. There was no sign of him at all. He was secretly on alert.

At this moment, Miao Rufei came back and said, "At least they ran fast. Big brother Qingyun, are you alright?"

Zhang Qingyun said, "Fei, I'm fine. We have to be careful, there are experts around here."

Miao Rufei said, "There's still someone else." She then looked in every direction.

Zhang Qingyun said, "Senior's flying darts were not shot by those six people. Previously, I saw that senior's martial arts were unfathomably profound, and his moves were as profound as a mountain. "That's why he didn't do anything unnecessary. I didn't think that there would be someone hiding nearby."

With a few huff sounds, more than ten figures appeared in the forest, surrounding Zhang Qingyun and the other two. There were three youths, four young women, six or seven middle-aged men, and an old man in his sixties. This old man was dressed similar to the old man on the ground.

The grey-robed elder ran up to the purple-robed elder and asked, "Junior Brother Sect Leader, are you alright?" Seeing that his face was drained of color, he turned around and said harshly, "You are the ones who have harmed my Sect Leader to such an extent."

Seven young men and seven swords simultaneously flew out, the tips of their swords aiming straight at Zhang Qingyun.

The purple-robed elder opened his eyes slightly and said, "Impudent! Quickly put the sword away. How can ? you ? be ? right ? be ? so presumptuous." "If it wasn't for this ? Young Hero, I would already have lost my soul ?" He sounded weak as he spoke, and it took him two consecutive breaths to finish what he was saying.

Seven young men and seven long swords all sheathed at the same time with accurate speeds. All of them were exactly the same, Zhang Qingyun thought to himself, "The disciples of the righteous sects are indeed different from the others." He was extremely well-trained.

The grey-robed elder cupped his fist and bowed towards Zhang Qingyun. "There was much offense just now. Yuchun Zi is apologizing to the young hero."

Zhang Qingyun quickly stood up and saluted, "Senior, don't be too polite. The next generation's child, Zhang Qingyun, pays his respects to senior." He knelt down on one knee and kowtowed.

The grey-robed elder bent his waist and hurriedly helped Zhang Qingyun up. "Quick, get up. It's really a story for the next generation."

The seven of them kneeled down and said, "I have just offended you, Young Hero Zhang, please punish me."

Before the seven of them could kneel to the ground, Zhang Qingyun's figure flashed and spun in a circle. Having helped Qi Jian up, he said, "It's no wonder the others don't know. Everyone, please get up."

The gray-robed elder said, "Young Hero's qinggong is unparalleled in this world. I wonder which sect Young Hero is from to be able to produce such a strange disciple."

Zhang Qingyun said, "To tell you the truth, Senior, my martial arts were taught to me by Grandma Lu, who came from the Immortal Crane Island. However, I am not allowed to call her Master, so I do not know which sect she belongs to. "

The gray-robed elder said, "Young Hero is from the Immortal Crane Island. I've seen him perform the Qing Gong technique before. It was the Flying Crane Nine Style that Lu Xiaotian used when he battled the Evil Sovereign over twenty years ago."

The purple robed elder sat up and said, "Last night, when I was passing by the Great Ba Mountain, I noticed a large group of people besieging a large man. At that time, I saved that large man, and his injuries were serious. He was dead before I could ask him how he got the bead. There must have been a plot to track me down after I passed through the forest today. Now, I will give this pearl to you, senior brother, and you must uncover the secret behind it. I'll give you this Mysterious Sky Sword as well, "With that said, he picked up the sword from the ground. It was delivered to the gray-robed elder.

The gray-robed elder said, "Junior brother." Don't you know me? I'm not a material for being the Sect Leader. I'm used to idling around. "It's the past that Master has set his eyes on you. I will definitely uncover this secret."

The old man in the purple robe said, "Senior Brother, do you want me to die with grievances? Other than you, who else in our Cang Sect can take on such a heavy responsibility." As he spoke, he took out a black pearl from his chest. "This Pearl of the Vermillion Bird is related to the ill-gotten wealth that the Evil Sovereign plundered in the Central Plains. It definitely cannot be allowed to fall into the wrong hands."

The gray-clothed elder caught a Vermillion Bird divine bead and said, "Junior brother will definitely keep it well." Before he could finish speaking, the purple-robed old man was filled with determination.

Tears filled the old man's eyes. He raised his head to the sky and shouted, "Junior Brother!" His voice resounded through the forest, echoing in the air for a long time.

Everyone's eyes were brimming with tears as they kneeled on the ground and cried. Zhang Miao Lei and the other two looked at each other in dismay and grief.
