Chapter 725: Loneliness
Duan Qing took his eyes off Luo Renjie and the others and asked Lin Ziyu, "By the way, has Fellow Daoist Lin seen Fellow Daoist Huyan?"
"Fellow Daoist Huyan? Isn't he with you, Brother Duan?" Lin Ziyu asked in confusion.
Duan Qing frowned. It seemed that Huyan Heng had not come to the communication stone chamber.
So where did he go?
Huyan Heng and he had experienced life and death together. He was a man of few words and had some quirks, but he was very righteous.
He was still very concerned about Huyan Heng's life and death.
Thinking of Huyan Heng, Duan Qing walked boldly to Shui Daozi's side and said, "Master Shui, I have something to ask you."
Shui Daozi, who had just asked Luo Renjie, looked at Duan Qing sideways: "What is it?"
"Fellow Daoist Huyan of Wuxiang Sect was separated from me when I was escaping. He is still missing. Master Shui, can you help me find him?" Duan Qing said respectfully.
If you want to find Hu Yanheng in the complex Tuling Peak, the fastest way at the moment can only be for Shui Daozi to do it.
With Shui Daozi's cultivation, his perception range is certainly far better than everyone present, and it is absolutely no problem to find someone in Tuling Peak.
Shui Daozi nodded gently after hearing this, and did not refuse.
If Hu Yanheng, the first person of the younger generation of Wuxiang Sect, had an accident on the territory of his Five Elements Sect, it would be difficult to explain to Wuxiang Sect.
Thinking of this, Shui Daozi closed his eyes tightly, opened his perception with all his strength, and searched the entire Tuling Peak.
Soon, Shui Daozi opened his eyes and frowned slightly.
Then, he took out another square array plate and checked something.
On the array plate, several stars were lit at this time, and there was nothing else.
Seeing the stars on the array disk, Shui Daozi frowned even more tightly, and sighed softly, saying: "Except for everyone present, there are no other living people in Tuling Peak at present!"
Shui Daozi's words stunned Duan Qing!
There are no living people except for everyone!
He knew what this meant.
That is to say, Hu Yanheng is either dead or has left Tuling Peak.
Compared to the first possibility, the second possibility basically does not exist.
But it is not absolute.
Recovering from his senses, Duan Qing hurriedly asked Shui Daozi again: "May I ask Master Shui, how is the current operation of the Five Elements Array?"
Shui Daozi glanced at the array disk and said without thinking: "Everything is normal."
Shui Daozi's words undoubtedly completely destroyed Duan Qing's hope.
If the Five Elements Array has a problem, causing the protective shield to fail, then Hu Yanheng may wake up and leave Tuling Peak alone.
But since the Five Elements Array is currently operating normally, it means that the protective shield is intact.
In this case, it is basically impossible for Hu Yanheng to leave Tuling Peak.
If the mysterious woman had the strength, she might have been able to forcefully break the protective shield of the Five Elements Array.
However, with Hu Yanheng's strength, this was absolutely impossible.
In other words, the possibility that Hu Yanheng was already dead was very high!
It was just that Duan Qing was a little surprised that Hu Yanheng's body was not found at the original site.
Perhaps, Hu Yanheng left the original site after waking up, and finally died somewhere in Tuling Peak!
It was basically confirmed that Hu Yanheng was dead, and Duan Qing felt a little disappointed. He didn't know what to say for a while and fell into silence.
Seeing Duan Qing's expression, Lin Ziyu also guessed that Hu Yanheng might have met with an accident, and felt even more guilty. She lowered her head and bit her lip, wanting to say something but stopping.
Next, Shui Daozi questioned Lin Ziyu and others one by one, and basically verified that what Duan Qing said before was true.
After all, this matter was of great importance, and he had to be cautious.
After Shui Daozi questioned everyone individually, Duan Qing took the initiative to ask Shui Daozi to leave.
According to his previous agreement with Shui Daozi, he only came to Tuling Peak to help with defense for a few days, and he could return to Shendao Sect after the replacement arrived.
Now that such a huge change has occurred, although the replacement has not arrived yet, Shui Daozi has come in person, and it is meaningless for him to continue to stay here.
Shui Daozi was also very happy, and directly agreed to Duan Qing's request, asking Lin Ziyu to send Duan Qing away from Tuling Peak.
Combined with the confessions of Lin Ziyu and others, Duan Qing's suspicion was basically cleared, and there was no need for him to hold Duan Qing.
Lin Ziyu sent Duan Qing all the way out of Tuling Peak, looking at Duan Qing's figure, his eyes were very reluctant.
"Ziyu apologizes to Brother Duan on behalf of the third senior brother for the previous matter, and please don't hate the third senior brother." Lin Ziyu looked very lonely.
Hearing Lin Ziyu mention Luo Renjie, Duan Qing suddenly got angry and his face suddenly turned cold.
"In fact, the third senior brother is also thinking about the overall situation, and he feels very uncomfortable!" Lin Ziyu said lonely.
She knew that her third brother Luo Renjie was not righteous, but after all, he was her brother who had watched her grow up. She really didn't want to see Duan Qing hate Luo Renjie, and even end up fighting.
"If he really feels guilty, why doesn't he apologize himself!" Duan Qing was not moved at all.
If Hu Yanheng had not died, and both of them had survived safely, he would certainly feel uncomfortable, but he would not be unable to forgive Luo Renjie.
But now Hu Yanheng died tragically because Luo Renjie refused to open the door of the communication stone chamber at that time.
If he forgave Luo Renjie, how could he be worthy of the dead Hu Yanheng!
Duan Qing's words made Lin Ziyu fall into silence, and she didn't know what to say for a while.
Being sandwiched between Duan Qing and Luo Renjie, she was very entangled in family affection and admiration.
After a moment of silence, Lin Ziyu sighed deeply, not bothering to mention the matter again, and changed her words: "Brother Duan, why are you leaving in such a hurry and not staying for a few more days?"
Seeing that Lin Ziyu no longer insisted on speaking for Luo Renjie, Duan Qing's expression softened slightly.
To be honest, if Lin Ziyu was determined to excuse Luo Renjie, he and Lin Ziyu might not even be friends.
"Duan came to your sect this time because he was entrusted by the Hua Sect Master of the Wuxiang Sect and had no choice! Besides, Duan still has something important with him and he is in a hurry to send it back to the Shendao Sect. He really has no time to stay longer. Please forgive me, Fellow Daoist Lin!"
"Oh! I wonder what is so important?" Lin Ziyu was a little curious.
Duan Qing did not hide anything, and simply explained to Lin Ziyu the matter of giving the spiritual talisman to Xue Wanyun.
Anyway, he had long wanted to find an opportunity to break Lin Ziyu's thoughts. This was a good time.
After listening to what Duan Qing said, Lin Ziyu looked even more disappointed, and her eye circles were slightly red.
"If I have a chance... I really want to meet Brother Duan's Senior Sister Xue!"
After saying that, Lin Ziyu raised her head slightly to stop the tears in her eyes from flowing down: "We say goodbye today, I don't know when we can see you again!"
"The days are long, we will meet again if we are destined!" Duan Qing looked indifferent, but he still felt a little disappointed in his heart.
His disappointment was not because he had any thoughts about Lin Ziyu, but simply because of his sadness when his friends parted ways.
"Really! Have a nice trip, brother!" Lin Ziyu took a deep breath and held back her tears.
"Lin Dao cherishes his friendship!" Duan Qing said, sighed softly, and rose up from the ground using his sword control skills.
Lin Ziyu stood there, looking at Duan Qing's leaving figure in a daze, tears flowing out like a flood from a dam.
In the end, she couldn't hold it back.
