After rebirth, he became the favorite of the Moon Goddess.

Outside Zixu Academy.

Helian Wenyan narrowed his eyes slightly and looked at several people, and finally his eyes fell on Zong Zhengheng, "I really didn't expect that you would join Yin Yue Pavilion."

"Everything in the world is destined. If my pavilion master likes me, that is my fate with him." Zong Zhengheng said with a smile.

"Tch, that's nice to say." Helian Yuanjie glanced at Zong Zhengheng and said without mercy: "You had a falling out with my father, then turned around and founded Lingxu Academy. Who knew you were joining Yin Yue Pavilion? What, maybe you are interested in their cultivation resources?"

Hearing this, Zong Zhengheng's expression did not change, and he still had a faint smile, "My pavilion master knows very well what my purpose is, and he doesn't mind. Why should nephew Yuan Jie be worried about it?"

"Humph." Helian Yuanjie snorted coldly and ignored him.

"I think it's getting late, let's leave as soon as possible." Jiuge intervened in the topic at the right time, interrupting the tit-for-tat confrontation between the two.

"Yes." Helian Wenyan responded, and took a few disciples to perform sword control skills together, and soon disappeared above the city gate.

Seeing this, everyone in the Hidden Moon Pavilion summoned their flying swords and followed.

……

Everyone headed north.

After driving for two days, the group came to a place called "Snow Forest".

The snowy forest covers a vast area, stretching for hundreds of miles, with lush trees and prosperous plants, including many spiritual herbs, elixirs and spiritual beasts.

Because of this, even late at night, there are still many monks coming here looking for treasures.

"Everyone has been traveling for two days and has worked hard. Let's spend the night here tonight." Helian Wenyan suggested, "When Yu Jian passed by here just now, I saw that there seemed to be a village nearby. We can first Go to the village to rest for one night, and then enter the snowy forest early tomorrow morning."

"Okay!" Everyone nodded in agreement.

Not long after, a group of people arrived at the entrance of the village. It was only then that they discovered that the village seemed to have been abandoned for a long time. The surrounding flowers and grass were withered and yellow, and there were even many corpses of wild beasts lying on the ground, looking miserable.

"No wonder I felt that the atmosphere around me was not right just now. It seems that something must have happened here before." Zong Zhengheng frowned and said in thought.

Hearing this, everyone looked around one after another, and their expressions gradually became serious.

This village is located near the snowy forest, only two miles away from the entrance of the forest. It should be the most lively place, but now it is like this.

"Come on, let's go in and take a look first." Helian Wenyan said solemnly.

Everyone nodded and followed Helian Wenyan towards the village.

As soon as they entered the village, everyone smelled the strong smell of blood floating in the air. The further they walked in, the stronger the feeling became. The smell made everyone present feel nervous.

"How did this place become like this? Where are the people here? Where have they gone?" Helian Yuanjie couldn't help but frown and muttered.

"There are many ferocious beasts in the snowy forest, everyone should be more vigilant..." Helian Wenyan turned to his disciples and said.

"Yes, Master." Jiuge and others responded.

"Dad, do you think all the people here will be eaten by wild beasts?" Helian Yuanjie suddenly asked.

Hearing Helian Yuanjie's words, Jiuge, who was walking next to him, couldn't help but take a breath of cold air. No wonder this place has become an empty village. Is it really like what Helian Yuanjie said? The people here are all... Already buried in the belly of the beast?

"Little junior sister, are you afraid? If you are, just hide behind me and I will protect you." Helian Yuanjie said as he turned around and pulled Jiuge behind him.

Jiu Ge reluctantly twitched the corners of his lips and said calmly, "Senior Brother Yuanjie, don't underestimate people. I am also a monk after all. How can I be afraid?"

Seeing her show off, Helian Yuanjie curled his lips and said, "You said this yourself. Don't cry for a while."

"Tch!!" Jiuge sneered, "When have I ever cried?"

"Okay, I hope you can still be as calm as you are now when you encounter danger." Helian Yuanjie raised his eyebrows and smiled.

"Okay, you two, stop arguing." Helian Wenyan interrupted the two of them at the right time. He glanced around, and then said calmly: "I just looked carefully. These people should not have been eaten by wild beasts. Although the snowy forest is a dangerous place, it is also the place where practitioners come most often. Although the beasts here are ferocious, they usually only move in the deepest parts of the snowy forest and will not come here rashly."

"Then where did these beast corpses around come from? Could it be that they were all thrown here by humans?" Helian Yuanjie asked with a frown.

"This possibility cannot be ruled out." Helian Wenyan said solemnly.

As soon as he finished speaking, Tang Yuan suddenly pointed at a dilapidated house in the village and shouted, "Look! What is that!?"

Everyone quickly looked in the direction of Tang Yuan's finger, and what caught their eyes was a dilapidated house. Under the eaves, a lantern was emitting a faint blue light. The candle flame flickered, as if it would be extinguished at any time. .

Seeing the lantern, everyone immediately held their breath and their hearts beat wildly.

"This, this isn't a haunted house, is it?" Helian Yuanjie spoke word by word with a trembling voice.

Tang Yuan glanced at him and took the lead in pulling out the sword from his waist, "I'll go see what's going on first."

"Brother Tang, be careful." Zong Zhengheng reminded him quickly, and the others looked at Tang Yuan with worried faces.

Tang Yuan nodded and then walked towards the dilapidated house.

Soon, he arrived in front of the room.

Although the house was dilapidated, it was still somewhat intact. There was thick dust on the doors and windows, and it had obviously been unoccupied for a long time.

Pushing open the door, Tang Yuan stepped in. However, the moment he stepped into the threshold, his whole body froze for a moment.

"Ah——" Tang Yuan screamed in fright and quickly retreated from the house.

Hearing the sound, Zong Zhengheng and Zong Yuan hurriedly ran towards him, "Brother Tang, what happened?"

"Stop!! Don't come here, either of you!" Tang Yuan suddenly shouted.

Hearing this, the two of them stopped immediately, "Brother Tang, what's wrong?"

Tang Yuan swallowed, "I... I just saw a white bone hanging in the air in the house, and the white bone seemed to be returning to flesh and blood..."

Although he has experienced hundreds of battles, this is the first time he has seen the scene before him.

"What did you say?" After listening to Tang Yuan's words, Zong Zhengheng frowned, "Brother Tang, you didn't make a mistake, did you?"

"I can't possibly be mistaken." Tang Yuan said seriously.

Hearing this, Helian Wenyan hesitated for a moment, then raised his feet and walked towards the house, "I want to see who is causing trouble in there!!"

When Jiuge saw this, he quickly chased after him, "Master, I'll go with you."

Helian Wenyan said "hmm" and did not stop him.

Soon, the two arrived in front of the house. As soon as they approached the door, Helian Wenyan felt an evil aura coming towards him.

"Little girl, stand behind me." Helian Wenyan glanced sideways at Jiuge and whispered.

"Yes." Jiuge nodded and subconsciously took a step back with his right foot.

Helian Wenyan took a deep breath, grasped Jiuge's sleeve with one hand and the sword hilt with the other, and then slowly opened the door.

As soon as she stepped into the house, Jiu Ge noticed a cold air coming towards her. The air made people feel chilled all over her body.

The next second, she saw skeletons hanging one after another on the walls of the house, so densely packed that they almost occupied the entire wall.

"Master..."

Seeing the scene in front of him, Jiu Ge's heart contracted suddenly, his breath suffocated, his pupils shrank suddenly, and his face instantly turned pale.

There are no bones here, this is clearly a picture of Bone Mountain! !

"Master!"

Just when Jiuge was about to call Helian Wenyan, her eyes widened in surprise.

She saw that Helian Wenyan was also nailed to the wall at some point.

What made Jiuge even more horrified was that the wall originally covered with bones suddenly distorted for a moment, and then turned into countless black mist and surged towards Helian Wenyan.

"Master!!"

Jiu Ge was so horrified that she didn't care so much. She drew out her sword and wanted to stop the black mist.

But the speed of the black mist was so fast that it rushed into Helian Wenyan's body in the blink of an eye. At the same time, Helian Wenyan's body turned into a new skeleton.

"Master!!!"

Jiuge's eyes were red and he yelled crazily.

At this moment, a pair of white arms suddenly came out from behind her and hugged her tightly.

"Little girl, you are the only one who walks in. I will turn you into bones and hang them on the wall."

As the gloomy voice fell, Jiu Ge felt a chill down his spine.

She turned around and came face to face with a ferocious and terrifying face.

The man's facial features were blurred, except for his exposed eyes, which glowed with a strange blood.

"Little girl, be obedient and play with me. I will enjoy you slowly..." Before he finished speaking, the hideous and terrifying face suddenly changed.

Because he found that he could not absorb the soul of the girl in front of him.

On the contrary, he seemed to be counterattacked by the opponent's soul.

Upon seeing this, the man immediately released his hold on Jiuge's waist, and disappeared from her eyes as quickly as the wind.

Until this moment, Jiuge dared to take a breath. The feeling of approaching death just now made her break out in cold sweat.

"Girl Jiuge!!! Wake up! Girl Jiuge!!!" At this moment, Helian Wenyan's voice suddenly came from behind him.

"Master?" Before Jiuge could react, she was pulled over by a strong hand.

Feeling the familiar breath, Jiu Ge opened his heavy eyelids.

She raised her head slightly and stared blankly at the man in front of her. Her eyes suddenly heated up, "Master, are you okay? What happened just now? I clearly saw you..." As he spoke, Jiuge choked up.

Everything that happened just now was so real that she still couldn't come back to her senses.

"Master, it's okay." Helian Wenyan patted Jiuge's shoulder and comforted him softly: "Little girl, you must have been hallucinating just now. No matter how your master calls you, it's useless!"
