An Yesun, however, did not share her joy. His tone was the same as usual as he said, "I don't want to understand anyone, and I don't need anyone to understand me. Why are you dawdling? How much longer do you want to stay here? "
Nangong Xue was startled. Only then did she remember that the two of them had taken refuge here, and that the Yellow Mountain Sect's pursuers would not suddenly disappear halfway through their pursuit. In reality, they were not completely out of danger yet, so it was still too early to relax. She smiled stiffly and said, "The enemy … will be here soon?" An Yesun said, "Nonsense. I just wanted to see how long a woman like you could be so pleased with herself. You really opened my eyes." Nangong Xue was so embarrassed that her face turned red. She said, "Then … why didn't you warn me earlier?"
An Yesun sneered and said, "As soon as you woke up, you were full of emotions and said a lot of things here. Since you were in such high spirits, I didn't want to ruin it. " Nangong Xue hurriedly said, "Then let's go now …" As soon as she finished speaking, she heard a flurry of footsteps not far behind them. It sounded like a group of people was running toward them. Judging from their speed, they would be here in the blink of an eye. The cemetery was spacious, so they were the most obvious targets. Nangong Xue said anxiously, "What should we do?" They looked around and saw a patch of dense weeds growing nearby. Because no one had trimmed them for many years, they were about half a person's height. There was nowhere else to hide them.
Nangong Xue made up her mind. She tugged on An Yesun's sleeve and said in a low voice, "Let's go hide over there." An Yesun glanced at her fingers on his sleeve. A look of disgust flashed across his face. He wanted to push her fingers away, but in the end, he restrained himself. He crouched down in the grass with her. A whiff of the smell of wild grass assaulted his nostrils. He could even see some small flying insects on the stalks of the grass.
Nangong Xue's body was very close to him, but she was completely unaware of it. An Yesun could even hear her suppressed breathing. He had always disliked people getting close to him. Even when he was with Chu Menglin in the past, he had never been so close to her. Even though he wanted to push her away, it was still somewhat inconvenient. He forced himself to talk to distract himself, "No matter how many enemies I face, I always calmly face them. When have I ever tried to hide? Staying with you has implicated me to do such a cowardly thing. It's simply embarrassing. "
Nangong Xue said in a low voice, "Don't say anymore. I know you're good. Suffering once is a rare experience in life, isn't it? "Dark Night Yun snorted." I'd rather not have this experience. "
That group of enemies came very quickly. Almost as soon as the two of them were hiding in the bushes, they followed closely behind. They walked around the cemetery, looking in all directions. Nangong Xue said, "He doesn't seem to be a disciple of Yellow Mountain. He's from another group. He's probably chasing after someone else. How could we have so many enemies? " As soon as she said this, she felt that it was inappropriate. She had no enmity with anyone, but An Yesun's enemies were probably all over the Central Plains. Comparing the two of them in the same breath was really incomparable.
An Yesun saw that those people were all dressed in black with hoods on their heads. There were several white stripes on their sleeves. Looking at it, they did not match at all. He immediately recognized this familiar outfit. "They're disciples of the Shadow Sacrifice Sect," he said. Nangong Xue was startled. "The Devil Cult? What are they doing here? Do they want to harm the Yellow Mountain Sect? "
An Yesun coldly said, "Only you can think of something like that. Your Righteous Sect has already ambushed us once. Do you think everyone else will do the same? "Nangong Xue swallowed her saliva." Then what are they doing here? "An Yesun angrily said," How would I know? I left the Shadow Sacrifice Sect a long time ago. Do you think that every time they come up with a plan, they'll specially report it to me? "
Those people patrolled the graveyard but did not see anything out of the ordinary. The leader, a tall and thin old man, said, "Could it be that we've really seen ghosts in this damned place? We clearly saw people standing here just now. How could they disappear in the blink of an eye? "
Another person said, "We also saw them. They shouldn't be ghosts. Since they were able to hear us from so far away, their martial arts must be pretty good. They hid when they saw us coming, which means that they have a guilty conscience. But this place has a wide field of vision. They can't have gone far. If we search the area carefully, we'll definitely find them. " To show his loyalty, he was the first one to draw his sword. He walked to the front of the bushes and waved his sword wildly. The tip of his sword brushed past the two people's heads several times.
Nangong Xue curled up even more and moved closer to An Yesun. An Yesun frowned slightly but thought that as a woman, he shouldn't overthink it. If he overreacted, he would seem petty. He forced himself to suppress the annoyance in his heart.
After a series of failed attempts, the disciple cursed, "Damn it, I don't believe this!" He took a step forward and was about to step into the bushes. Another disciple caught up with him and advised, "Commander Zhao, the enemy is in the dark while we're out in the open. It's risky to rashly enter the bushes. Why don't we throw something outside to force them out?" Then, he waved his wide sleeves and threw out iron darts one after another. They flew aimlessly in all directions.
An Yesun flicked the stalk of grass and deflected the iron darts. Nangong Xue's internal energy was not as profound as his, so she could only try her best to dodge. However, her arm was still cut. Fortunately, the wound was sharp and painful and did not have the numbness and itchiness of being poisoned. The blood that flowed out of the wound was also bright red. Knowing that the projectile was not poisoned, she was slightly relieved. An Yesun saw that the other party was provoking him but he could not fight back. This was the first time in his life. He took out his folding fan. Nangong Xue saw this and hurriedly pressed down on the fan's handle. She shook her head and signaled him not to be impulsive.
Commander Zhao saw that there was no movement in the bushes for a long time, so he took out something from his robe and threw it over. That thing was different from the iron darts. It was longer and slightly curved in midair, as if it was alive. An Yesun frowned. Ignoring Nangong Xue's advice, he raised his folding fan and waved it in the air, cutting the thing into two. Half of it fell into the bushes while the other half landed on the front of his robe. He saw that the thing was actually a small dark green snake. Only half of its body was left, but it was still wriggling and flicking its tongue.
Nangong Xue was so frightened that her face turned pale. She wanted to scream but managed to hold it in. She covered her mouth tightly and widened her eyes. She was still staring at the small snake in horror. An Yesun was the one who couldn't control himself. Although he appeared to be fearless in front of others, he had always been afraid of insects and the like. When he saw the snake, he immediately waved his fan to swat it away. He jumped up in fright and shouted angrily, "Damn it! Who's the coward in front of me? He doesn't dare to fight openly, so he uses underhanded tricks to harm people. What kind of skill is that? If you have the guts, don't hide. Get over here and accept your death! "
Nangong Xue tugged on his sleeve several times. An Yesun was in a state of anger and fear, so he ignored her reminders. In addition, he had been suppressing his anger for a long time. He swung his sleeve fiercely, flung her away, and quickly walked forward. Nangong Xue squatted on the ground. She could do nothing but worry.
Commander Zhao laughed coldly and said, "Oh, you finally dare to come out? Keep hiding. Weren't you good at hiding before? Looks like your companion is better at keeping his composure than you are. " An Yesun stretched out his right arm, the folding fan in his hand, and pointed it directly at Commander Zhao's nose. "Less nonsense," he coldly said, "Did you throw that snake?" "So what?" Commander Zhao replied.
Seeing An Yesun suddenly appeared, the tall and thin old man slowly walked over. He stared at An Yesun for a while, then suddenly clapped his hands and laughed coldly, "I was wondering who this gentleman was. Isn't this our number one traitor to the Cult, the fallen Hall Master? You look even more spirited and handsome. I trust you have been well these past six years? " "Humph," An Yesun snorted. In front of his former subordinate, his expression was still arrogant. "I didn't die," he said, "Are you disappointed?"
"No," the old man said, "There's nothing to be disappointed about. You have sought refuge with the imperial court and become a Manchurian Qing servant, we have received the news early on. Looks like you are doing quite well. Looking at your clothes, I can tell that your position is not ordinary. You are indeed a promising servant! "
Commander Zhao also stepped forward and put on an act. "You are indeed the fallen Hall Master," he said, "Subordinate pays his respect to you. Six years have passed, you have changed a lot. I didn't recognize you at first. Recently, we have also heard about your heroic deeds. We heard that you single-handedly dealt with the Qing Tian Village bandits, which can be considered as eliminating a big threat for our Cult. We should be grateful to you. "An Yesun said," If Jiang Liechen is willing, with his ability, he can wipe out the Qing Tian Village anytime. I don't know what kind of trick he is up to. "
Another disciple shouted, "Shut your mouth! Nobody is allowed to call the Holy Hierarch by his name! We still respectfully call you the fallen Hall Master, but in fact, you don't deserve this title anymore. Don't you know? You are a traitor who has turned your back on the Sacrifice Shadow Cult, yet you still use our name to do despicable things. You are really disgraceful! "While saying that, he spat on the ground. An Yesun angrily said, "Not only do I want to curse your Hierarch, I also want to kill him! What's so great about the Sacrifice Shadow Cult? I don't care about it at all. I have already drawn a clear line between us. Even the slightest connection with you people makes me feel dirty. "
With a cold laugh Commander Zhao said, "That's right, your line is indeed very clear. You killed the Young Miss, assassinated the Hierarch, and stole the Afterimage Sword. You used these vanities to surrender to the government, didn't you? Pei, a traitor who sells out his master for glory, you are really shameless! "
An Yesun angrily said, "Who is selling out his master for glory? I … "Thinking that the crimes he accused were all Jiang Liechen's doing, he didn't know whether he was deceived or deliberately slandered, but unexpectedly he pushed all the blame onto himself. He never explained anything to his enemies. Although he had suffered a strange injustice this time, he didn't feel like defending himself.
The leader of the elders, Commander Xue, waved his hand and said, "Enough, you don't need to quibble! Today we are not here to settle the enmity of the Hierarch and the Young Miss. Fallen Hall Leader, we are master and servant, we don't want to be too heartless to you. As long as you hand over the Cult's most precious treasure, the Afterimage Sword, we will break up from now on. You can continue to live your life of riches and honor, we will also continue to expand our territory. Nobody owes anybody anything. "
An Yesun said, "The Afterimage Sword? Go and ask your great Hierarch, he has already obtained it. What, he didn't tell you? Jiang Liechen is naturally suspicious, apparently in his heart none of you subordinates are his own people. "
Commander Zhao angrily said, "Don't try to sow discord here! If you did not steal the Afterimage Sword, then who is that stinky girl with the sword in her hand, who is she? "" Humph, "An Yesun said coldly," A thief crying thief. I still want to know who she is. "
Another disciple shouted, "An Yesun, the Holy Hierarch has issued an order: as soon as we see your face, we are to kill you without any discussion. We have listened to your last words, we are already very merciful. In the past you bullied our brothers, everybody was afraid of your status as our master, so we endured as much as we could. Today, new enmity and old enmity, we will settle it together! "Brandishing a nine-section whip, it swept forward like a dragon.
An Yesun stood still without evading. Seeing the whip was about to strike him, he raised his hand to grab the end of the whip. Before he could do anything, behind him Commander Xue already had a steel hammer in his hand, which he smashed toward An Yesun's back. Commander Zhao took out his sword and slashed it toward An Yesun's lower body, so that it would be difficult for An Yesun to evade.
An Yesun had no choice but to let go of the whip. He took the folding fan and turned around to parry Commander Xue's hammer. Seizing the momentum, he flipped around and borrowed the force to soar into the air. His left foot kicked backward, hitting the disciple's chest, while his left hand turned into a saber, striking the side of Commander Zhao's neck. Commander Zhao hastily turned his sword to block. An Yesun seized the opportunity to flip over and landed on the side, facing the three men in a standoff. Behind him, several more weapons were pointed at his vital points. Several disciples who were watching from the side also surrounded him, joining hands to launch a pincer attack.
