After everyone had gone far away, the fat old man's expression suddenly turned serious. He looked at Luo Zhixue and Nie Yuan and asked in a deep voice,"Zhixue, why is the aura of your companion crystal on this kid?".

”

"Companion crystals?"

Nie Yuan looked at Luo Zhixue suspiciously..

"Senior Shang, how about we talk about this later?.

"Luo Zhixue's face was hard to hide..

"No, this matter concerns your life. If I don't ask clearly, I'm sorry, Senior Brother..

The fat old man stared at Luo Zhixue and said,.

Seeing that Luo Zhixue was silent, the fat old man waved his sleeve and Nie Yuan lost control of his body. His entire body floated in front of him..

He grabbed Nie Yuan's neck tightly with one hand and questioned," Kid, honestly, why is Zhixue's companion crystal in your body? What did you do to her? If you don't tell me honestly, even if it's Xuan Zhi pleading in person, I'll still kill you!"

"I…I don't know…"

The fat old man's grip grew stronger and stronger. Nie Yuan's breathing became abnormally difficult, and his face turned red from suffocation..

Nie Yuan's back was covered in cold sweat. This old man was determined to kill. If he didn't say anything, he would really be killed..

However, he didn't even know anything. This was even the first time he had heard of Companion Crystals. What could he say?.

"Senior Shang, don't!"

At this moment, Luo Zhixue cried out anxiously. Her figure flashed to Nie Yuan's side and placed her palms on the fat old man's hands. Her eyes flashed with pleading..

"Senior, this matter has nothing to do with the Xuan Chip. I took the initiative to give him the Companion Crystal..

”

"What?!"

The fat old man frowned and loosened his grip, but he still did not let go of Nie Yuan completely..

"Zhixue, do you know how important Companion Crystals are to you? It concerns your life. How can you be so rash?.

”

Luo Zhixue bit her lip lightly, a hint of determination flashing in her eyes..

"He's my Dao partner. I had no choice but to save him..

”

" What? Say it again?" The fat old man's eyes widened, thinking that his ears were hairy..

"He…is my Dao partner..

Luo Zhixue lowered her head and whispered..

Bang!

The fat old man's heart trembled. He was so shocked that he forgot that Nie Yuan was still in his hand. He loosened his grip and Nie Yuan's butt directly sat on the ground. That was a sour feeling..

" Him? Your Dao partner?" The fat old man approached Luo Zhixue and said," Why do you like him? He's not as handsome as I was when I was young..

”

"He…is actually very handsome..

"Luo Zhixue was badly beaten up by the fat old man, and he stammered..

"Aesthetic problems must be aesthetic problems..

The fat old man hinted crazily to himself in his heart, while looking at Luo Zhixue,"Why don't we change our Dao partner? This kid is really not good.".

”

" Hey! Senior, why are you…eh…"

Hearing that the fat old man wanted to persuade Luo Zhixue to change her Dao partner, Nie Yuan instantly became anxious. He leaned forward and wanted to explain everything, but before he could get close, the fat old man pulled it away..

"Zhixue, look at you. You're as pretty as a flower, but I can't find anything. This old man knows many young talents, and there are many more handsome than him. This old man will give you their contact information, so you can remember it..

”

"It's inappropriate to poach someone in front of you, isn't it, Senior?.

"Nie Yuan said with a black face..

But the fat old man doesn't even bring his bird..

Or his wife to force, a mouth refused to say: "Senior, I have a husband and wife with him.".

”

：.

: Fuck!

The fat old man's swearing was also loud, and it shook the heads of the two juniors..

"Zhixue, how long have you two known each other? How can you develop so quickly?"

The fat old man was shocked and turned his gaze to Nie Yuan..

His gaze was like a knife as he glared at Nie Yuan. If looks could kill, Nie Yuan would have died hundreds of times earlier..

Thud!

Nie Yuan swallowed hard. He hadn't even met his parents yet. Was the pressure so great?.

However, the fat old man quickly reacted. After all, he was an old monster who had lived for hundreds of years..

After sizing Nie Yuan up with a strange gaze for a moment, he said," This news is too explosive. I'll go out and take a rest by myself. The city ahead has left a flying mount for you two. Friendly reminder, the outer sect competition has been advanced. There are still five days left..

”

After saying that, the fat old man disappeared in front of the two of them..

" F * ck!" Nie Yuan cursed." You still have to play like this?"

Therefore, two figures ran wildly in Death Valley..

Nie Yuan wasn't interested in the outer sect competition, but he was interested in entering the inner sect..

Disciples who enter the sect can only enter the Sutra Depository after half a year. Our Young Master Nie is very interested in the secret manuals in the Sutra Depository. If he wants to enter the Sutra Depository in a short time, he can only find another way to become an inner disciple. Not only can he enter the Sutra Depository at any time, but he can also enter the higher levels of the Sutra Depository to learn more powerful secret manuals..

And the outer sect competition will allow him to directly advance to the inner sect disciple.

A series of reasons added together, making Nie Yuan interested in the outer sect competition..

Fortunately, this place was not far from the exit of Death Valley. After running for more than ten hours, they finally arrived outside Death Valley..

Another short while later, the two arrived at the city where they had stopped earlier..

The city at this moment is completely different from when they first arrived. It was as prosperous as it was before, but now it is as desolate as it was. There is no one there, and even many doors and window frames have been removed..

After the two of them found the flying spirit beast they had left behind, they confirmed their direction and flew towards the Sword Sect..

"Snow, what is a companion crystal, and when did it enter my body?.

After flying some distance, Nie Yuan looked at Luo Zhixue and suddenly asked.

Luo Zhixue took a deep breath. She planned to hide her dissatisfaction from Nie Yuan..

" When I was born, there was a strange phenomenon in heaven and earth. Red clouds filled the sky, obscuring the sun, moon and stars in the sky. The night was like day, accompanied by muffled thunder explosions. Seventy-two phantoms of fire phoenixes circled outside the palace for three days. The whole country celebrated. It was rumored that an immortal had been born..

”

Her voice was soft and resonant, while Nie Yuan listened quietly..

"When Mother gave birth to me, the Companion Crystal was held in my palm. Father and Mother were overjoyed and thought that this item was a Companion Treasure..

”

"Ancestor has seen through its mysteries. Although Companion Crystals are rare treasures that can help master speed up his cultivation and help master understand his mind, they have a fatal flaw..

Luo Zhixue paused for a moment and continued,"The Companion Stone will shatter, and the owner will die. The owner will die, but the Companion Stone will not shatter. The ancestor used a secret technique to integrate it into my body. Although there are often problems in cultivation, it prevents the Life Gate from being exposed.".

”

"Then how did this thing appear in my body?.

”

"At that time, your heart was troubled. I had no choice but to cast a forbidden spell to fuse the companion crystal into your body and calm your heart..

”

Nie Yuan recalled that his demonic heart was agitated and the demonic power surged out. He could not suppress it. Suddenly, a warm current surged into his body and calmed his agitated demonic heart. It turned out to be Luo Zhixue's companion crystal..

Although Luo Zhixue said it casually, Nie Yuan knew how determined she was to hand her life over to someone else. How much mental struggle she had to go through.

How can I remove it from my body?.
