The night fell, quickly swallowing up the setting sun, and darkness enveloped the mountains.

Xiao Ran broke into a cold sweat and looked around.

The vast mountain shadows are like swords striking the sky.

Who are primates?

The salvation plan has started now? On the same day as I Chengjian? Are you coming to Zongzhi Mountain to cause trouble?

In a moment, almost everyone in the Black Ring group was online.

The first person to speak was actually the one who never spoke.

[Once upon a time, it was difficult to overcome the difficulties:...]

He sent a blank text.

Xiao Ran wondered, is this guy mute?

[Xiaowu: Did I just meet senior, or is senior waiting for me? 】

[Primate: Don’t worry about the details, it’s just fate.]

[Split: It seems that this Xiao Ran is not a simple person.]

[Toshiko: Who in the group will be a simple person? 】

【Ballad: I seem to smell vinegar in the air.】

[Junzi: I guess your body has been soaked in the potion for a long time. Can those armors really smell? 】

[No Money Ma Liugun: What are the plans for the senior primates? Do you need help? 】

[Primate: If we help from the beginning, we won’t make it to the end.]

[No money, Ma Liugun: You know, there is only one thing I don’t charge for.]

[Primate: It’s not about money, this time it’s just a flame pointing the way forward in the dark night.]

The group fell into a brief silence.

Xiao Ran could feel that this was not silence, but some kind of suppressed excitement.

After a long time.

[Dao Kedao: Don’t destroy the world.]

[Primate: We are gathered together to save the world.]

[Wild Hunt: Stop talking nonsense and start early. If you don’t destroy it, will the world exist forever? Learn some magic, and humans will feel like they are the eternal masters of the universe. We are too arrogant! 】

You still know how to be arrogant!

Who wants to go to Zongzhi Mountain to kill people?

While Xiao Ran was shocked, he was also amused by this arrogant guy.

[Primate: Although you don’t know each other’s identities, when the nine of us gather together, it will be the day when the world is reborn... It’s better to choose one day than another, so let’s start with this Xiao Ran. 】

After that, everyone seemed to understand each other tacitly, and there was no more movement in the group.

Xiao Ran couldn't wait to dig through the chat history and find out their plan.

Unfortunately, those were his records before he joined the group, and he had no right to view them!

After calming down, there were only two sentences floating in his mind -

Dao Kedao: Don't destroy the world.

Primates: Starting from Xiao Ran...

There were nine living people in the group. Except for "Once Upon a Time", who said a few lines, the other eight people all appeared on the stage and spoke in a short period of time.

It seems that this time it is for real!

The key characters are Misty and Primate.

Primates probably aren't around.

Who is Xiao Wu?

Bo Yunzi?

Li Wuxie?

Or some other seemingly unimportant passerby?

If [Xiao Wu] lurks inside the door and cooperates with [Primate], the sect will be in trouble!

Xiao Ran wanted to inform the sect and immediately step up precautions.

But not everyone in the sect can be trusted, and the elders have already taken precautions. Notifying them is of no use, but will expose themselves.

A moment ago, everything was calm.

The next breath, the madness came.

Is this the Dharma-ending era?

…

When Xiao Ran returned to Jianzhi Peak, it was completely dark.

Starlight falls, spreading on the valley floor rippling with the mountain wind.

Chu Yan, who was supposed to be resting, was still taking care of the cordyceps, even though she had cleaned up the cordyceps in the entire Zhujian Peak.

Only a small head of the petite body was exposed in the valley.

She wandered aimlessly in the field, pacing, waving her rapier, trimming leaves on the plants, and seemed to be muttering something repeatedly.

Seeing Xiao Ran coming back, he hurriedly walked over and said what he had prepared long ago.

"I don't want to inherit the sword anymore. I'm young and not ready."

It has to be said that the Sword Succession Conference was very stressful, and Xiao Ran himself was very upset, let alone Chu Yan who was unprepared.

Not being able to pass on his nervousness to others, he bent down and patted the girl's weak and boneless shoulder.

"You come to protect me as a teacher."

Chu Yan's little face was startled, and the starlight shone down like white gauze. She quickly curled her lips and said:

"Tch, I can't beat you, how can I protect you?"

"I can't beat Master either."

Xiao Ran followed the mountain breeze and sighed slowly:

"Since I have inherited the sword, it is meaningless if I don't take the Heavenly Sword. Without your help, I can't reach the first floor."

"All right."

Chu Yan whispered.

Although she felt that Xiao Ran had taken advantage of her, at least she was no longer nervous.

With nothing left but Tiancao, Chuyan finally breathed a sigh of relief. Then she felt exhausted both physically and mentally. She ran to the disciple's room and opened the bamboo valve of geothermal water and took a bath.

Xiao Ran walked around the mountain and didn't see the master, so he went back to the house and asked:

"Where's Master?"

Chu Yan was softened by the warm water and replied weakly:

"Master went out at noon and said he would come back at midnight."

Returning at midnight?

Xiao Ran felt more and more something was wrong and muttered to himself:

"Such a long time... is enough for her to go to Chaos City and back? What the hell are you doing?"

The master is not on the mountain, so Xiao Ran can't gather the wool.

What happened in the Black Ring Group made him feel anxious, but when he thought about it carefully, he couldn't do anything at the moment.

There is nothing special to prepare for the Sword Inheriting Conference.

I paced back and forth on the Jianping grounds late at night, and finally returned to the disciples' room obediently and fell into bed.

Rest is the best way to prepare for battle!

Fortunately, Master's quilt was very fragrant and relieved his nervousness.

at night.

He had a dream.

A legendary ancient black dragon hovered over Zongzhi Mountain, its giant claws tore through the mountain guarding formation, and wind, fire, thunder and lightning poured down...

Sudden!

Xiao Ran was caught by the dragon's claws and lifted up into the air.
To be continued...
