Bai Ya glanced at Lord Shuangyue. The latter seemed to feel it and turned his head slightly to look at him... then looked over his shoulder and behind him.
There, there was a guard who smiled the most openly and was talking nonsense:
"This human being is the most cunning. Your Majesty, you have to be aware of it. Who knows if he has a fake and regards your majesty as nothing, so he wants to do something sneaky and substantive--"
A gust of wind pierced the air sharply, like a sharp arrow piercing the air. A black shadow quickly passed through the hall and suddenly hit the Shura's head. A burst of blood exploded, and his noisy mouth could no longer make any sound.
The man fell to the ground, twitching slightly.
The blood flowed from his head and slowly spread out on the ground, staining the ground of the palace red.
All this flashed across Bai Ya's field of vision like lightning. He turned around suddenly, without even having time to reflect what he saw and why he wanted to see his companions.
Shuangyue Lord. His throwing gesture had not even changed. At this time, he slowly retracted his hand and stood with his arms folded as before. It was as if he had not taken the clan's treasure in the main hall of King Wu's city under the eyes of the king.
Baby, it's like hitting the palace guard on the head.
Everyone was speechless. Compared to the moment of silence just now, the palace was as quiet as the sea before the waves rolled back.
In an instant, a wave of anger surged forward. Regardless of whether the target was innocent or not, all the guards raised their weapons, yelled loudly, and became angrily directed at the two people. Some of them had already taken a few steps closer excitedly, with glaring eyes.
The Queen shouted excitedly that she would drag the two of them out and behead them, or simply kill them on the spot.
"quiet!"
At the critical moment, the queen stopped her men with a loud voice. She loudly ordered them to return to their posts, named another one, and ordered them to take the injured guard down. These Shura seemed to care about their colleagues, but their style was really rough.
Bai Ya watched helplessly as the guard picked up his companion's collar and dragged him out of the hall.
With his movements, a long line of blood stains wiped out on the ground. Bai Ya squinted his eyes and could see that some of them were mixed with light red and dirty white, as if the brains had been beaten out. This Shura was probably beaten out.
Mr. Shuangyue opened the gourd and wondered if their physiques were different from humans. After such a long time, they could still be saved, or they had to be burned and buried on the spot.
The noise gradually subsided, but a group of guards still looked unkind and stared at their weapons. The queen impatiently changed her sitting position and waved her hand:
"Put the battle away from me. You, pick up the knife and bring it to me for a look."
She was talking to Jun Luanjiu. He didn't say much. He simply nodded, took a few steps back and forth, picked up the demon-sealing blade that was thrown on the ground, and handed it to the queen. She took the demon-sealing blade with the scabbard attached.
After turning it around twice in his hand, without even looking at it carefully, he raised his head and announced conclusively to the subordinates around him:
"It's genuine."
There was a commotion among the Asuras below. Their hostility towards the two outsiders had not subsided, but the glances exchanged between them became excited. They were probably all happy to see the return of this treasure.
And in this joy, Shura suddenly noticed that his queen's face changed, suddenly became gloomy, and looked dark and unclear. He calmed down and whispered to his companions. Gradually, they all became quiet and quietly looked at the king and the queen.
I don’t know what happened to the magic weapon in her hand.
Bai Ya knew what was going on. He understood that the knife would not be easily pulled out of its sheath, and the Queen must have known it as well. So he paid close attention and kept looking at the Queen's hand holding the knife. Just now, he saw the other holding the knife separately.
The muscles in the arm holding the handle and sheath of the knife tensed up. Then her face fell.
Yuan stared at her eyes, as if she was extremely angry at the undisciplined sword. While the Shuras were still secretly celebrating, the Queen exerted her strength again, and the masseter muscles on her face appeared to be bulging. I don't know if it was an illusion, but Bai Ya felt that he
You can almost see the veins popping out on the back of her hands, and there seems to be a drop of sweat seeping out from her forehead.
The Demon-Sealing Blade remained motionless.
Even the charm on the scabbard was still wilted, and the wrinkles had not changed at all, as if it was not interested in the power exerted by the king of Shura. Bai Ya realized that from the moment Lord Shuangyue was entangled with it,
Perhaps this sword has changed its family, recognized a new owner, and no longer responds to the race that once controlled it.
In the silence of the hall where thoughts were wandering, the current owner of the Demon-Sealing Blade seemed to curl his lips. When Bai Ya looked at him, his calm expression had returned, and there was still impatience between his eyebrows.
"Can it be opened?" He said to the queen in a calm tone, "Pull out the knife quickly. If you can't pull it out, put it away quickly. Let me go as soon as possible."
It's best when it's this simple.
The situation was already clear - she couldn't pull out the knife.
Since she can take the top spot in the Shura clan and has ruled for many years, the Queen must be the strongest person in this country. She cannot be recognized by the Demon-Sealing Blade, let alone other Shura.
But what use does a knife that cannot be unsheathed do to them?
Put it in the Temple of War and offer it as a decoration?
Thinking on the bright side, maybe they will just hold the sword and ponder it by themselves. Or, they can train new brave warriors and spend many years to win the recognition of the Demon-Sealing Blade. In any case, this is to detain this weapon.
Only then can we do it. We will never let him follow Shuangyue Lord and leave without leaving any trace.
Bai Ya suddenly thought of Shui Wujun. He should know that it was this colleague who had heard nothing from Yao. He didn't know what their relationship was, but as a craftsman, Shui Wujun must be very concerned about this magical weapon. If the Demon-Sealing Blade can no longer
Going back may be a pity for him. Yunxuan Pavilion
Think the worst...
If the Demon-Sealing Blade no longer has an owner - as long as its current owner no longer exists...
If Lord Shuangyue dies, will it change its ways again and return to its original owner?
Do the Shuras know the answer? Will they think of it and want to try it?
This is not a glorious thing. I believe that these races that admire the strong will not want such a stain to be witnessed and left behind. If they want to attack Lord Shuangyue, Bai Ya will not be able to watch, and they will not let Bai Ya stay in peace.
Ansheng watched from the side. He was a confident person, but not arrogant. He did not think that he really had the terrifying ability to break out of a tight siege with one against a thousand in the hinterland ruled by his clan.
Besides, Jun Luanjiu is still here. Once there is a falling out, no matter what the outcome, his situation will become precarious. No matter which way he falls, he will hurt himself.
Many thoughts flashed through his mind like a storm. Bai Ya didn't know that he was such a worried person. These vague thoughts turned quickly, and just after this short moment, the Queen spoke.
She said to Jun Luanjiu: "Give him the knife back."
Almost everyone, including Bai Ya, was stunned on the spot, looking at each other, not understanding what was going on. Jun Luanjiu upheld the qualities of a general in the army, and did not interfere too much with the king's decision-making, but simply acted swiftly and neatly The order was carried out.
Not only did Shuoyue-kun not show any surprise, he was not even in a hurry to take the knife.
"Why do you want me back? Don't you want this thing? Now that I have come here and the thing is in your hands, why don't you take it?"
His frosty tone finally cracked open, revealing an undercurrent of cold sarcasm.
"After years of planning and hard work, you finally succeeded in luring me here. Now that it's here, right in front of you, you don't want it anymore."
At this time, even the queen had a look of surprise and confusion. She looked at him sideways as if she saw him going crazy, without making any comment on his remarks. Bai Ya was finally confused by this twist and turn. mind.
"How did you realize it was a trap or a scam? When did you realize it? Why did you throw yourself into the trap without hesitation?"
"Ten years ago..."
Lord Shuangyue finally took the Demon-Sealing Blade, staring at the weird and twisted runes on the sheath with his dark eyes: "About ten years ago, someone started to set up a trap. If it wasn't the Demon-Sealing Blade, what could it be?"
Since he is an impermanent person in the six realms, Shuangyue Lord has long transcended the mortal body. He does not need sleep, but for too long a time, he will also sleep in the way of entertainment. In the limited time during his lifetime, he will not be so self-wasting. , but when the time that can be wasted approaches infinite, he naturally loses interest in paying attention to every minute.
Occasionally, he also dreams, which may be regarded as a symbol of human beings. They are all trivial and meaningless fragments. When he opens his eyes and returns to the present world, everything recedes like the tide. Until one day about ten years ago.
The Demon-Sealing Blade's appearance in his dreams was not something traceable. But it appeared too frequently, and it was always accompanied by some signs and hints, as if it wanted to tell him its past story and interpretation. The curse that accompanies it is often unclear at key points, and it leads him to pay attention to something...something about the distant country in the south.
He didn't want to pay attention to it. At worst, he would stop falling asleep and listen to the whispers of the Demon-Sealing Blade in his dreams. However, as a top assassin, it was instinct to pay attention to any signs of trouble. But when he realized , the clues that the Demon-Sealing Blade meant might be related to the Southern Kingdom. When he wanted to think about it, he suddenly stopped dreaming about it.
It's like... some kind of barrier or some kind of barrier has been erected between the Demon-Sealing Blade and the unknown resonance thing.
When he said this, Bai Ya immediately realized that it might be when Jiutian Kingdom's current formation was first formed. Lord Shuangyue didn't make it clear, and he wouldn't talk too much. Lord Shuangyue continued:
"This period of time is neither long nor short. It didn't take long, and the clues of the Nine Heavens Kingdom began to pour into my dreams again. Compared with before, it seemed too obvious and too impatient... It violated the rules among the gods. The covenant seems to be quite stressful, and you guys are working really hard."
"Why don't you tell me what kind of covenant it is?"
The queen had a sullen face, tightened her grip on the armrests of the throne, and spoke forcefully.
"You don't know? No way? I don't want to waste any more words. They don't understand, no matter what. As for you, it is closely related to you, so just understand in your heart."
Mr. Shuangyue raised his hands again, looking secretive. At first glance, the Queen's expressionless face was no different from his. However, in the silent hall, Bai Ya did not miss a slight crisp sound. He clearly understood
When the queen's knuckles were so hard that they turned white, she saw the falling dust. I don't know how angry she was, and she broke a corner of her throne.
Judging from her reaction as if she was being told a pain point, even if Lord Shuangyue said it, Bai Ya could probably guess it. After all, if you want to isolate the entire Nine Heavens Kingdom, you need the concerted efforts of these seven so-called gods. This is definitely an agreement.
