In Qinghe City, in front of a dilapidated stone house, a young girl wearing cloth and braided hair was sitting on the bluestone at the door, throwing stones into the river.
"Axuan, your brother is going to do something important. Don't worry. When he comes back, you will become the most noble person in the world."
And in that stone house, an old man with white hair was holding a wine bottle and said with a smile.
"Grandpa, when Brother Jiang Qiu came here just now, did he tell you about my brother?"
The commoner girl turned her head and looked at the old man with a sly expression, "Don't hide it from me, I heard it all." .??.
"You girl! What your brother does is a matter of great importance to the people of heaven and earth. You must not go out and talk nonsense!"
The old man glared at the girl fiercely, raised his head and took a swig of strong drink.
At this moment, on the path in the distance, a young man in black suddenly walked up, and at some point he was in front of the two of them.
"Huh? Who are you? How come I've never seen you before?!"
The girl tilted her head, showing a look of surprise.
But the old man in the stone house suddenly stood up, with a slightly wary look on his face.
"You must be Jiang Xuan."
Ling Xiao smiled and reached out to rub the girl's head, with a touch of sarcasm in his eyes.
Jiang Xuan and Jiang Xuanyi are just one word apart, but one can tell that Jiang Yang cares about his sister.
According to the memories of the two Heavenly Sovereigns, Jiang Peng and Jiang Xuan were orphans and had no one to rely on since they were young.
The old man in front of him is named Zhu Lao. No one knows his origin, but it is said that... he has existed since the day Qinghe City came into existence, and he is the ancestor in the eyes of the old Jiang Dynasty.
The two of them had been adopted by Mr. Zhu since they were young, and they were like relatives.
"Brother, you are so beautiful."
Jiang Xuan blinked his big, smart eyes, a look of deep shock on his face.
"This little friend, who are you?"
Lao Zhu walked up to Ling Xiao with one leg lame, his brows furrowed.
Logically speaking, the only people who can pass through the entrance barrier are people from the Jiang Dynasty.
Moreover, from beginning to end, he did not hear a sound of fighting, which shows that this young man must have been recognized by the guardian.
only!!
Judging from his demeanor and temperament, he doesn't look like someone from the Northern Territory at all.
With the caution of Jiang Qiu and others, how could he be allowed to come and go freely in Qinghe Ancient City?
"I am Xuan Yi's brother, and I came here specifically to see an old friend."
Ling Xiao smiled gently, squatted in front of Jiang Xuan, took out a colorful spirit flower from his arms, and handed it to the girl's hand, "Little sister, is your brother's name Jiang Peng? Where has he gone?"
"Xuan Yi?!"
Hearing this, Zhu Lao's face suddenly showed fear, and his pair of cloudy eyes... suddenly shone with divine light.
Jiang Xuanyi!!
This name is only known by the true royal lineage of the ancient Jiang Dynasty.
Eternal years pass by in a hurry.
And those who witnessed the fall of the Jiang Dynasty will all remember...the kind and beautiful eldest princess.
However, there is only one elder brother of Jiang Xuanyi, and that is Prince Jiang Yang.
Inexplicably, there seemed to be a chill spreading in the depths of Zhu Lao's heart. Even with his cultivation level, he could not see the realm of this young man.
Who...is he?!
"Do you also know my brother?"
Jiang Xuan blinked, but was pulled behind him by Zhu Lao.
"who are you?"
"Actually, even if you don't tell me, I also know that your brother went to Yuqing Immortal Sect
.”
Ling Xiao shook his head and smiled, then slowly stood up, without even looking at Zhu Lao from the beginning to the end.
"How do you know? Are you my brother's friend? Big brother, when will my brother come back?"
"Your brother...you will see him soon."
Ling Xiao casually placed the spirit flower on the bluestone and headed towards the entrance.
until!!
Ling Xiao's figure disappeared, and Zhu Lao just took a deep breath, and the smell of alcohol dissipated from his body, "Girl, wait for me at home, remember... no matter what happens, don't leave this place."
As soon as he finished speaking, golden light flowed out of Zhu Lao's body, and his originally rickety figure seemed to be a little more straight.
Hongcheng, among the temples.
I saw Zhu Lao's figure walking out from under the statue, with a hint of shock on his face.
He followed Ling Xiao all the way, but never caught up with him.
Can!!
The moment he walked out of the entrance, his face suddenly turned pale.
At this time, he could see that in the ancient temple, Ling Xiao was standing with his hands behind his back, facing away from him, as if he was deliberately waiting for his appearance.
"Who are you anyway?"
"I have said before, I am Jiang Xuanyi's elder brother, but you...who are you?"
Ling Xiao turned around with a gentle expression.
From the moment he saw the old man, he felt a trace of the essence of vegetation in him.
It was obvious that the old man's true form was not human, but a spirit of vegetation.
"Hmph! You don't even know me, yet you dare to pretend to be the prince."
Zhu Lao snorted coldly and clenched his palms suddenly.
I saw a series of imperial patterns spreading out, green and green, turning into bamboo leaves all over the sky, covering the entire ancient temple.
Faintly, deep in the bamboo leaves, there seemed to be a melodious flute sound.
The world in front of Ling Xiao immediately became illusory, and the stars were changing.
At this time, he could see a dense ancient purple bamboo forest suddenly emerging.
The mist is slowly rising and the fragrance is fragrant.
In the bamboo forest, there seemed to be a man and woman chasing each other and playing, making bursts of sweet laughter.
"It seems... you still have many illusions about the ancient Jiang Dynasty."
Ling Xiao's eyes were calm, without much disturbance.
The illusion in front of him had no impact on him at all.
However, it is rare for this old man to survive from the ancient Jiang Dynasty to the present day.
"No matter who you are, I will not allow you to hurt the prince or the princess."
The figure of Mr. Zhu appeared above the bamboo forest, looking at the young man below with a cold expression.
I don't know why, seeing the calmness on his face at this time, even with Zhu Lao's character, he felt extremely frightened.
It was as if this young man, who looked less than a hundred years old, had truly transcended this world and returned to his true nature.
"oh?"
Ling Xiao raised his eyebrows slightly, with disdain in his eyes.
The next moment, a sword roar was heard suddenly, and above Ling Xiao's head, a sword door suddenly opened.
Among them, there seemed to be ten thousand divine swords trembling in unison, breaking through the Yin and Yang universe, and slashed towards Zhu Lao.
"How can it be?!"
Feeling the overwhelming power contained in the sword's power, Zhu Lao's body suddenly trembled and he staggered back, with no trace of blood on his face.
No wonder!!
He still couldn't sense the realm of this young man in black. It turned out... that he was already above the imperial realm.
"Buzz!"
The bamboo forest swayed and heavy fog swept across.
As Mr. Zhu stretched out his palm, he could see the emerald green glow of the bamboo leaves, like arrows, piercing through the sky.
