On the border of Xiling, Xiaozhu and Xiangnan were watching from the tower. Xiaozhu's face was always solemn.
"Xiaozhu, don't worry. No news is the best news. They may be hiding." Xiang Nan said softly.
"Well, I'll wait a little longer. If there's still no news about them, I want to sneak into Dongling to look for them myself," Xiaozhu said.
"There were notices offering rewards for Mingbei's capture everywhere in Dongling. They escaped but did not come to Xiling. It is probably that the people in Dongling had already figured that Mingbei was saved by our people from Xiling, so the pursuers focused on pursuing them westward.
Mingbei and Wuyou must have figured this out and fled in another direction. Xiaozhu, don't worry, they will definitely come back." Xiangnan looked at Xiaozhu's thin shoulders and moved his hands, wanting to extend his hand.
He held her in his arms, but after all he lacked any courage.
Xiaozhu nodded: "I hope so, I hope they can come back soon, otherwise once King Jing sends troops to attack, the Five Elements Formation will not be able to be set up, and its power will be greatly weakened."
While the two were talking, General Sima beamed with joy and ran up from below the tower.
"Father, what are you so happy about?" Xiang Nan asked hurriedly.
"I'm very happy that the Crown Prince has written a letter!" General Sima held a letter in his hand, unfolded it and handed it to Xiang Nan and Xiaozhu to read.
After reading the letter, Xiang Nan smiled excitedly and said, "Princess Xiaoyao Kung has only completed the last level! That's great!"
Xiaozhu frowned slightly and said: "Only the last level, the illusion is the most dangerous, and the pain the princess endured is simply unimaginable."
"Alas! I didn't expect that this disaster sent by Dongling to bring harm to Xiling became our lucky star in Xiling. Fortunately, the prince and you secretly rescued her, so that she did not die from the misunderstanding." General Sima sighed, he could not blame his father and
Prime Minister, just downplay it as a misunderstanding.
"The princess is very kind." Xiaozhu said with a slight smile.
On Qinglian Mountain, Liu Fan and Luo Lianyi entered the practice room hand in hand, followed by Yunmeng and Bai Liang. Their expressions were solemn, as if facing a formidable enemy.
The last level is crucial and the most dangerous. The illusion is scarier and more painful than the previous ones. If there is a slight mistake, all previous efforts may be wasted, or even go crazy, and the muscles and veins will be severed and die.
"Lianyi, are you ready?" Liu Fan held her hand, his eyes full of worry.
"I'm ready. I can definitely do it. I believe I am the one who is destined." Luo Lianyi nodded firmly.
"If anything happens, don't be afraid. I will be by your side, even on the way to hell." Liu Fan reached out and stroked the hair on her forehead.
"No," Luo Lianyi hurriedly covered his mouth and said, "No, you have a heavy burden. If anything happens to me, you must not do anything stupid."
"Stop talking, it makes me feel so sad. After passing so many tests, the princess must be the one destined for Xiaoyao Gong. She will be fine." Bai Berry came over and said with tears in her eyes.
Luo Lianyi nodded and said, "Yes, Bai Berry is right, nothing will happen. Let's get started."
Liu Fan looked at her deeply and was silent for a while, then held her tightly in his arms, "You must get through it and remember that I am by your side."
"I know."
The two of them sat on the practice bed together. After breathing in and out evenly, Liu Fan put his palms on Luo Lianyi's back and began to deliver internal energy to her, while Luo Lianyi pulled his internal energy and her own internal energy and began to slowly circulate throughout her body.
All major acupuncture points.
Yunmeng and Baimei were waiting a few meters away to guard her, not daring to relax at all. If anything happened to Luo Lianyi, they would try their best to rescue her, lest she go crazy and die.
Luo Lianyi gradually felt that the aura in her body was like thousands of horses galloping, like lava about to erupt. No matter how turbulent and changing the internal force was, she only tried to calm her mind, not panicking, and running them to break through the levels one by one.
The illusion began to appear again. A raging fire seemed to be burning in front of her. A huge fireball rolled towards her, engulfing her in the sea of fire. The skin on her body seemed to be thrown into a frying pan, causing her unbearable pain.
She knew this was just an illusion and had no fear in her heart. She just endured the pain and continued to use her internal energy calmly.
Yunmeng looked at her face as red as charcoal, steam coming out of her head, her teeth biting her lips, and fresh blood dripping from the corners of her lips. Knowing that she was in the pain of burning her body again, she hurriedly prepared what she had prepared.
Buckets of cold water were poured on her head to cool her down a little.
Luo Lianyi felt a lot more comfortable when she felt the cold water, and her biting lips relaxed a little. Yunmeng looked at her expression, relaxed a little, and let the white berries continue to water.
Half an hour later, Luo Lianyi's expression suddenly changed. She frowned and her teeth chattered. Yunmeng hurriedly stopped the white berries from continuing to water the water and said: "The illusion of burning the body has changed. She is now hallucinating."
He must have entered an ice cave."
"Would you like to light a fire?" Baiberry asked.
"Well, hurry up, make a fire!" Yun Meng nodded.
Bailiang brought the firewood and lit it next to the bed. It was already a hot summer, and the fire made the room even hotter. Lufan, Bailiang and Yunmeng were all sweating profusely.
Liu Fan has always felt the heat and coldness of Luo Lianyi. When it was hot, he did not dare to transfer too much internal energy, but when it was cold, he dared to transfer the hot internal energy to her.
"Don't be afraid, I'm here." He whispered softly.
Luo Lianyi seemed to be wandering in an ice cave. She had experienced this kind of hallucination many times, and she was no longer as scared as before. She knew that it would not take long to get over this extreme cold, and once she got over it
, she passed another level.
Dark, cold, and boundless, she groped forward, with his constant calling in her ears, which made her feel as if she felt some kind of calling power, making her will never stop.
"It's time to get out. If you hold on for a while, you'll be out soon." Luo Lianyi calculated the time in her mind. According to the routine, the ice cave should dissipate on its own soon.
Time passed slowly, and she held on to prevent her internal energy from stagnating. The ice cave did not dissipate, and she felt as if her bones were cold and turned into powder.
Liu Fan followed his usual rules and calculated that Luo Lianyi's test was about to pass. He waited nervously, but she still seemed to be immersed in the cold and had no relief at all.
Yunmeng and Bai Liang kept adding more charcoal to the fire, but this little heat could not relieve Luo Lianyi's coldness in the ice cave. Her teeth were beating harder and harder.
"Cold - I'm cold -" she murmured, trembling all over.
Liu Fan increased the intensity of his internal energy transmission, but Luo Lianyi trembled more and more violently.
Yun Mengfei got on the bed and put her hands against Luo Lianyi's hands. She could feel that Luo Lianyi's hands were as cold as ice cubes.
Luo Lianyi was in an illusion. She thought the ice cave would dissipate soon, but the reality was not as she expected. The ice cave seemed darker and colder.
