Under the red maple tree, fallen leaves were flying, and the sun was shining brightly. On the path ahead, a man was riding a fire-footed elk and gradually came towards him. The fire-footed elk had green flames on its four hooves, and the flames made a crackling sound on the ground.
Every step he takes leaves a black footprint on the ground.
The man sitting on the back of the fire-footed elk wore a black gauze hat on his head, completely covering his face, making his appearance completely invisible.
Firefoot Elk led the man to a roadside water stall and asked softly: "Boss, how do I get to the Eastern Empire?"
"Eastern Emperor Kingdom? My guest, the area under your feet is the East Emperor Empire, but you still want to ask where it is?" The water seller smiled slightly and put the water-soaked cloth on his shoulders.
.
The man on the back of the fire-footed elk sighed slightly: "I'm asking where the capital of the Eastern Empire is?"
"Oh... the capital of the Eastern Empire? The Eastern Empire doesn't have a capital?" The water seller touched his forehead and said strangely.
"What? An empire doesn't have a capital?" the man on the back of the fire-footed elk said in surprise.
The water seller patted the dust on his body, took off the water-soaked cloth and began to wipe the table. He said, "If you don't believe it, forget it. I'm just an old man selling water. I can only make a few bucks a year to support my family. Really?"
I don’t care about the affairs of you cultivators."
The man on the back of the fire-footed elk stopped asking questions and continued to walk forward. After walking for about ten miles, he was blocked by an old man with white beard and hair. The old man was driving a crane.
He jumped down from under the crane. When he came to the fire-footed elk, he grabbed the fire-footed elk and said, "Li Ling, you ignored me, an old man. You went ahead alone. It's so unethical."
"Old man, you have mistaken the person. I am not Li Ling, and I don't know who the Li Ling you are talking about is?" the man on the back of the fire-footed elk said softly.
"Even if you turn into ashes, I will still recognize you. Even if I don't recognize you, I will still recognize the Fire-footed Elk that is riding under you. Huh, don't even think about lying to me." The old man snorted coldly.
"Old man, I am really not Li Ling. This fire-footed elk was given to me by an adult. I was also very confused at the time. Why did that adult give me a fire-footed elk?" The man wearing a black veil said
sighed.
"Don't quibble, take off your black gauze and show it to me. Only then will I believe that you are not Li Ling." The old man snorted and crossed his arms.
"Hey, old man, if you don't believe it, I have no choice but to take off the black veil." said the man on the back of the fire-footed elk.
The man sighed slightly and had to take off the black gauze on his head. The man had big ears and a black mole on his mouth. He was really not Li Ling. The old man immediately patted his thigh and said, "Oh, I actually
I fell into that kid’s scheme.”
At an altitude of 10,000 meters, Li Ling was flying with his sword. He crossed his arms and chuckled. He said, "Alas, I finally got rid of Tai Xuzi. Alas, my life has not been the same every day for the past ten years."
For ten years, Li Ling has been living with Taixuzi. Ever since Taixuzi's soul recovered that day, he would ask Li Ling for spiritual pills every day. Although Li Ling is an alchemist, how can he be so good?
Duolingdan, the elixir refined by Muhua Palace, is now almost in use.
Through the clouds, Li Ling looked down. Down below was a canal that was thousands of miles long. There were many cargo ships transporting some goods on the canal. Li Ling looked down from above and was slightly curious about the things in the water transport.
.
"What exactly are these water cargo ships transporting?" Li Ling frowned slightly and sighed as he looked at the transport ships filling the river.
On the canal, the crew members were working hard to transport the cargo ship. Everyone was rowing the ship forward with all their strength. The cargo seemed to be very important, because there were two very powerful people on the cargo ship.
One person has a simple face and carries a long sword on his back, while the other person has a heavy back and carries a huge ax on his back.
"The tribute of these ten ships must be paid to Ziyun Fire Emperor, otherwise, this year's peacekeeping will fail again." The man with a simple face said with a frown.
"But there are many people in the city who will prevent us from paying tribute. We may not be able to safely pay tribute to Ziyun Fire Emperor. Moreover, this canal is 10,000 meters long, and we have only walked one-third of it.
There are many variables." The sturdy man said calmly.
"Even so, we can't give up halfway. Our people are waiting for our return. These tributes must be sent to Ziyun Fire Emperor to avoid the disaster of being annihilated." The man with a simple face sighed slightly.
stand up.
Li Ling happened to be passing by here. He shook his head slightly when he looked at the cargo ship below, and then continued to fly along the river. On the way through the river, Li Ling found a calm man standing on the stone bridge in front of him.
The man in black, holding a long sword in his arms, quietly watched the ten ships approaching here.
The man seemed to be waiting for the ten ships to approach.
The man with a simple face looked at the man in black on the stone bridge and said, "That guy has a problem."
"Well, everyone, be careful." The tiger-backed man shouted to everyone.
When the boat arrived under the stone bridge, the man standing on the stone bridge had eyes like lightning. He suddenly pulled out the long sword in his hand, and a sword light flashed. He didn't know what was going on. One of them
The boat was split into two ends with a loud roar and sank to the bottom of the river.
The sword came so suddenly and violently that these people had no time to react.
When the boat was split apart, everyone on the boat flew up and rushed towards the man on the stone bridge. The man just pulled out the long sword again, only to hear a buzzing sound, and a sword light again.
Flash, all those people were cut into pieces by five horses.
"Damn it." The man with the simple face moved his fingers, and the long sword behind his back came out of its sheath with a clang, and it lit up. It was held in the man's hand, and he slashed at the man on the stone bridge.
The man on the stone bridge just pulled out the sword again, and with a buzzing sound, the sword was unsheathed again, and a sword energy burst out.
With a buzzing sound, the long sword in the hand of the man with a simple face shattered into thousands of pieces.
Looking at the broken sword fragment, the man with a simple face returned to the boat again, gritting his teeth secretly, knowing that he had met a formidable opponent.
Li Ling happened to be passing by at this moment and saw this scene, but Li Ling never liked to meddle in other people's business, and the swordsman in black was very powerful, so Li Ling couldn't interfere.
Just listen to the man carrying the huge ax shout: "Captain, you take the other nine ships and leave quickly, I will stop this guy."
The man carrying the huge ax spoke with passion and indignation, as if he was about to die in the line of duty.
"Brother Arrow, stop joking. How can you be that guy's opponent on your own?" said the man with a simple face.
"Captain, please take everyone away quickly, I can do it on my own. For the sake of the people, Captain, you must give the tribute to Ziyun Fire Emperor!" said the man with a strong back and a strong waist.
"Oh, okay, Brother Arrow, you are the hero of our clan. We all pay tribute to you." The captain bowed to the man with a strong back and strong waist.
"Hmph, don't even think about escaping." The man standing on the stone bridge swung his sword, and a sword energy struck again. The sturdy man named Brother Arrow suddenly stepped forward, took out a huge ax, and banged
Blocked the incoming sword energy.
"Come on, Captain." Brother Arrow shouted loudly.
"Let's go at full speed." The captain ordered, and the crew opened the air valve, and the ship exploded and shot out into the distance at extremely fast speeds.
"Don't overestimate your own strength." The swordsman in black struck out with his sword again, this time the sword energy was more domineering than before.
Seeing the incoming sword energy, Brother Arrow shouted loudly and swung the ax vigorously. With a bang, the ax was split open by the sword energy and turned into a pile of scrap metal, which fell into the canal below.
"Go to hell." The black-clothed swordsman swung his sword again, and the sword energy was like a red night, flying towards Brother Arrow. Brother Arrow was severely hit by the sword energy, and spurted out a mouthful of blood, but he was determined.
Very strong, still insisting on standing in the air.
"I'm not dead yet. I want your head this time." The swordsman in black disappeared in an instant and appeared in an instant. He took the sword and struck Brother Arrow's head with one strike.
There was just a ding sound, and a golden long sword blocked the long sword of the black-clothed swordsman. The black-clothed swordsman frowned and flew back, looking at Li Ling who suddenly intervened and said: "Who are you?" (to be completed)
