Seven Strings in Dreams

Chapter 180 Parting ways

Gelu and Jiayu did not want to make a big fuss. With their current strength, even if they made a fuss, they would not be able to make much waves. Instead of wasting energy, it is better to be patient. When everything is arranged properly, they will naturally find a way to fight back.

That's all for the future! Jiayu's injuries were too severe. If he wanted to live in seclusion in the mountains, Gele would always be with him.

In life, you always have to give up something and gain something. There is no way to have the best of both worlds. To gain something, you have to give up something. This is an unchanging truth.

If you can really live a peaceful life, it can be considered a kind of rebirth!

The journey seemed peaceful, but it made people feel uneasy. This escort was still being targeted by someone. It just seemed that the other party was after something.

On a dark and windy night, their team was drugged and they became weak and passed out. Fortunately, Elder Gele remained alert and escaped.

The other party was very ruthless and even wanted to kill everyone.

Elder Gele didn't have time to find out where those people came from. He could only try to escape in the chaos. If they fought head-on, Gele would have a chance to rush out. But it was easier to avoid an open attack than to defend against an arrow from the dark, so Elder Gele could only endure it.

If he was alone he would have rushed out, but he also had to protect Elder Jiayu.

Fortunately, their original plan was to quietly leave the escort team. However, the plan was to leave in a few days, and now the plan had to be brought forward, and the people who were supposed to pick them up had not yet arrived.

Those who secretly protect them will not intervene unless it is absolutely necessary.

Once the two sides go to war, the whereabouts of Jiayu and others will be completely exposed.

Even if these people were not sent by the Holy Temple, the Saint Elders and Saint Mountain disciples would come over after hearing the news. Those elders were very smart, and by then there would be more people intercepting them, making it even more difficult for them to hide their identities.

Elder Gele first hid under the car during the chaos, and then wanted to release Elder Jiayu.

Many people were killed in the panic, and blood was everywhere.

The two of them smeared blood on their faces and hid among the dead bodies.

Soon the men began to pile the bodies together and set them on fire. They left only after the fire spread and became difficult to put out.

They were very good at choosing a place. There was no one living within a radius of ten miles. There was a cliff on one side and a steep cliff on the other. Even if there was a big fire, it would not spread endlessly. At most, the fire would weaken in a few hours. After the fire stopped, it would be possible to resume traffic.

The ground was covered with blood and the firelight. Some of the people who had fainted earlier woke up. They wanted to escape, but they were too weak to do anything and could only crawl as far as they could.

Even though Elder Gelu and Jiayu didn't have the heart to do anything, they were powerless to do anything.

In the firelight, cries and shouts rose and fell, and then gradually faded away.

After those people of unknown origin left, the people who had been protecting Gele and Jiayu in secret dared to show up.

Two people took Gele and Jiayu away, and two people stayed behind to rescue people and get rid of the traces of Gele and Jiayu's appearance here.

Gelu and Jiayu didn't know if there were any survivors in the fire. Although the people from the escort agency had only been with them for a short time, they were all innocent. They both felt bad.

Regardless of whether this incident was directed at them or not, they would definitely avenge those people.

Among those people, there were spies arranged by Linlang. It was unknown whether Linlang's men could escape.

Gelu and Jiayu were both in a very low mood. As soon as they were out of danger, they asked everyone arranged by Linlang to leave. They didn't want to drag anyone down anymore.

Gle: "Thank you two brothers for your escort. We can walk the rest of the way on our own."

The people Linlang sent were very skilled in physical skills. With the two of them leading the way, Gele and Jiayu avoided a lot of wrongdoings.

After listening to what Gler said, the two still refused to leave.

Jiayu politely addressed the two people. They had no names, only rankings, one was Seventeen and the other was Twenty-Three.

Jiayu: "Brothers, you have done enough on this journey. We two are not going to go to the city, so we will hide in the mountains for a while."

Twenty-three: "Two elders, Dharma Protector Linlang has arranged for someone to pick them up. They are not far away. You two just need to hold on for another two or three days."

Ge Le: "Thank you, little brothers. My brother's injury is not suitable for traveling. Let's find a place to rest for a while! When you go back, just tell them that we brothers insist on doing this."

Twenty-three wanted to say something, but Seventeen stopped him.

Seventeen: "I have two lucky bags and a letter here. They were given to me by the guardian Linlang in advance. If you two go to heal your wounds as planned, then forget it. If you two have other plans, I will give these to you."

Jiayu: "Take us to a place to stay and I will report back. Thank you both!"

Seventeen: "What happened just now happened suddenly. We are obviously no match for them. If we go out rashly, we will die. You two can rest assured and leave it to Guardian Linlang to handle it."

Seventeen and Twenty-Three were both shadow guards, and they killed more people than they saved.

Although those escorting the caravan are all innocent, Seventeen and Twenty-Three will not rush out with their brothers to die.

It’s not that they are too cold-blooded, but the law of survival in this plane is the survival of the fittest.

Shadow guards and secret guards are special in their own right. They don't even own their own lives. If they die while performing their duties, it's a worthy death. But if they overestimate their own abilities and fall into a trap, it will become a joke.

Such blatant destruction of corpses would never be allowed in the four empires.

The laws of different countries are different, but they are all based on the six laws: the law of officials, the law of households, the law of rituals, the law of the military, the law of punishment, and the law of labor.

This is the Twin Spirits Island, where laws are invalid. There are only unwritten rules passed down from long ago.

Here, if you want to get more territory, you have to rely on strength to seize it.

It may be cruel, but it is unreasonable. People here admire true warriors. Those who are treacherous are not welcome.

On Shuangling Island, most people are tribal, and everything inherited from the tribe replaces the so-called laws.

Shuitian College is the only pure land on Shuangling Island. In the college, you only need to abide by the rules of the college.

Yao Qi, the vice president of Shuitian College, and his sister Yao Yueyun are definitely not good people.

Yao Qi, also known as Yao Yuanshan. He must have done something extraordinary to become the vice president of Shuitian College. What's more, the president of Shuitian College rarely shows up. Although Yao Yuanshan, the vice president, is not omnipotent, he is definitely a person you can't afford to offend.

Yao Yuanshan was very strict with his sister. Yao Yueyun was intelligent and a tough character. If Yao Yueyun really died, Yao Yuanshan would not ignore it. Unless he was in seclusion and did not receive any news.

Meng Xianyu's trip will solve the mystery of Fairy Yueyun's life and death.

Shuitian College is located on Xianling Island of Shuangling Island. Xianling Island is much more prosperous than Shengling Island.

The Fairy Island and the Holy Spirit Island together are the real Twin Spirit Island. Both are indispensable. This is recognized by everyone living on the island. People on both sides usually have some conflicts, but most of the time they are united in facing the outside world.

Meng Xianyu and Wu Na truly felt the difference between the two.

The two of them slept in the open and even took a detour along the way.

Originally, the two of them went to the county town, but they were still somewhat conspicuous. Although they did not meet the disciples of the Holy Mountain, they were targeted by the hooligans on the street.

Wu Na couldn't take action, otherwise the disciples of the Holy Mountain would discover her whereabouts through the residual spiritual power fluctuations left over from the fight.

Wu Na's practice is special. Although it is not a high-level practice, it is also very special. After all, some practices are only qualified to be practiced by the candidates for the successor of the Saint. Those elders and Saints can be distinguished. The basic practices of the Holy Mountain cannot be used.

The disciples of the Holy Mountain are very united when they go out. They have a rule that they must protect their fellow disciples when they go out. They can also cooperate with each other when performing tasks. The main one is to die in the inner circle, and help each other outside.

It sounds like a good rule!

But often the disciples of the Holy Mountain are the more domineering party. They don't even care about the reasons, they only trust their own people.

Sometimes the truth doesn't matter.

Wu Na couldn't take action, and Meng Xianyu didn't know how to fight. So, the two of them followed the principle of "a gentleman should speak rather than fight" and secretly got rid of the little tail that was following them. They left the county and hid in the mountains.

Meng Xianyu had never learned any skills for surviving in the wild. Fortunately, Wu Na could handle it.

The two found a small stream, leaned against a big tree, and spent the night there.

After that, they moved very slowly. After walking for three days, they still couldn't find the way to the Fairy Island.

They didn't know if they were going in the wrong direction. They only dared to wander around the foot of the mountain, unable to enter the city or go deep into the mountains.

On weekdays, when they met woodcutters and fishermen passing by, they both avoided them.

They stopped and started along the way, wasting a lot of time. They were running low on dry food. Meng Xianyu's feet were covered with blisters.

Fortunately, they were together and not alone. Although life was a bit hard, it was also a happy experience.

They were both quite well equipped.

Meng Xianyu even asked the guardian Linlang to prepare a tent for her. Even if it was windy and rainy and they couldn't find a place to stay, they didn't need to worry.

The marching tent prepared by Linlang was not the ordinary tent that Meng Xianyu knew.

The marching tent prepared by Linlang was a low-level magic weapon. When Linlang demonstrated it, Meng Xianyu was so shocked that she couldn't close her mouth.

Linlang used spiritual power to activate the magic weapon. Meng Xianyu followed suit, after all, she would become a member of the cultivation army in the future.
