Chapter 1096 Shangguan Yan Is in Danger

Qingyang also had this intention. In the night battle, Qingyang did not exert much effort before, except for the sudden burst at the end that trapped the seventh-level Qi Refining cultivator. After that, he did not use the hemp stone on the road. In fact, his physical strength had recovered a long time ago, and he was just about to go out to take a look.

Then the two of them left the cave and walked around first. They did not find anything unusual. Then they climbed a small hill to observe the surroundings. There was no movement. It seemed that no one came in this direction last night. The two of them temporarily put their hearts at ease.

Seeing that it was still early, the two of them sat down on the hill. The terrain here was quite high. If there was any movement around, they would be able to find it immediately when standing here.

Qingyang leaned against a tree and closed his eyes to rest. Ma Xingchen sat next to him, but he could not calm down. From encountering the bronze-armored zombie in the deep valley to trapping the seventh-level Qi Refining cultivator last night, this was the second time Qingyang saved everyone from danger. Even if Ma Xingchen was slow, he should have seen that Qingyang was definitely not as simple as he seemed.

The strongest person in the whole Mayi Town is Ma Xingchen's father who is at the eighth level of Qi Refining. Qingyang can easily block the attacks of the late copper-armored zombies and the seventh-level Qi Refining monks. In other words, his father probably has no chance of winning against Qingyang. How can such a person be raised in a small place like Mayi Town? So this Qingyang must not be from the first seven villages.

Ma Xingchen doesn't understand why a master like Qingyang is hiding in his team? Is there some secret that cannot be revealed? But thinking about it carefully, it seems unlikely. There is no good thing worth thinking about in a poor place like Mayi Town?

Besides, Qingyang has been with him for several months. He has always been honest and has not done anything out of the ordinary. Instead, he has saved everyone from danger several times. He has even won the opportunity to go to Kuzhong City and become the dark horse of the pre-selection of the Son of God.

Since there are only benefits and no harm for him to follow me, and this person has no ill will towards me, there is no need for me to tell him. Such a master cannot be provoked in Ma Yi Town. Telling him may make him angry and embarrassed. It is better to continue the previous way of getting along.

Just when Ma Xingchen was thinking about these questions, several figures suddenly appeared in the distance, and they seemed to be running in this direction, but the distance was too far to see clearly. Because they didn't know whether they were enemies or friends, the two did not dare to show up casually, so they hid behind a pile of rocks.

Not long after Qingyang and Ma Xingchen hid, the figures had already arrived at the bottom of the hill. At this time, the two saw clearly that the people running were actually from Tongguan County. Running in the front was a woman and an old man. The woman was none other than Shangguan Yan, who had helped Qingyang before, but at this time she looked haggard and staggered, almost at the end of her road.

Qingyang had also seen the old man before. He was with Shangguan Yan all the way from Tongguan County, and seemed to be her personal bodyguard. The old man's cultivation reached the perfection of Qi Refining. Perhaps in order to protect Shangguan Yan, his body was covered with wounds, and the serious ones were deep enough to see the bones. In addition, he had been running all the way, and he was already exhausted. His situation was obviously worse than Shangguan Yan.

Behind them, three people followed closely. Qingyang also recognized the one in the middle, Sang Yuan, who had clashed with Qingyang before. The two old men on the left and right, one was perfect in Qi Refining, and the other was at the sixth level of Qi Refining. Although these two people were also injured, they were in much better condition than the one next to Shangguan Yan.

These five people all came from Tongguan County. Logically, they should have been on the same journey, but looking at the current situation, it seemed that Sang Yuan led people to chase Shangguan Yan, but none of the enemies who attacked them last night followed, which was a bit puzzling.

Ma Xingchen and Qingyang didn't know what happened, why Sang Yuan and others turned against Shangguan Yan, and the strength of these people was too high. They might not be able to help much if they came forward, but instead trapped themselves. It would be better to see the situation first and then make a decision.

The old man in front of him couldn't hold on any longer after running all the way. He stumbled and almost fell. Fortunately, Shangguan Yan, who was beside him, quickly supported him and said, "Uncle Yong, how are you?"

The seriously injured old man was named Shangguan Yong. He used to be a guard for Shangguan Tong, Shangguan Yan's father. Because he was honest, reliable and loyal, he was sent to protect Shangguan Yan this time. He didn't expect to encounter such a situation. Shangguan Yong took a few quick breaths and said, "I'm afraid I can't escape. Miss, go by yourself. I'll find a way to stop the people behind you."

Shangguan Yan looked back and her heart sank to the bottom. She believed that Shangguan Yong was not lacking in courage. Since he said such a thing, he must have been ready to die. But in this situation, the opponent's strength was too strong. Even if Shangguan Yong risked his life, it would be useless. Sang Yuan would not let them go. This time, both of them might die here.

Sure enough, after this delay, the three people behind had already surrounded them. Sang Yuan's two guards spread out to prevent them from escaping. Sang Yuan quickly came to Shangguan Yan.

Looking at Shangguan Yan who was already desperate, Sang Yuan smiled and said, "Junior Sister Yan, you are at the end of your rope now. You'd better obey me and I can spare your life."

Seeing that the two of them were unlikely to escape, Shangguan Yan simply stopped and looked at Sang Yuan, his eyes almost emitting fire, and angrily said: "You despicable villain, while Uncle Yong was dealing with the enemy, you let your people sneak attack from behind and almost killed us, what good will this do you? Aren't you afraid that my father will settle accounts with you after returning?"

Thinking of what happened last night, Shangguan Yan was about to grind his teeth. When Qingteng Sanren took the lead in escaping, the Tongguan County team collapsed. In desperation, several guards under Shangguan Yan risked their lives to stop the enemy at the second level of foundation building, which gave Shangguan Yan and the other two a chance to escape. However, they were not lucky enough. Not long after they escaped, they were caught up by the other two enemies. Fortunately, the strength of the two enemies was not too strong, and the three of them could barely deal with them. They were about to kill the two enemies, but Sang Yuan and others arrived just in time.

Everyone was from Tongguan County, and the Shangguan family and the Sang family had been friends for many years. Sang Yuan and his men came to help deal with the enemy, so Shangguan Yan and his men had no defense against Sang Yuan and his men. As a result, no one expected that just when the two enemies were killed by them, the people brought by Sang Yuan would suddenly turn around and attack Shangguan Yong and another guard.
