When Xu Chen woke up again, he could hardly feel the burning thirst and pain. Although he was still dizzy, his condition was much better. He tried to exercise and found that he could use his spiritual consciousness to induce
He suddenly took a long breath and felt much more relaxed.
"Junior brother is awake, how do you feel?"
Zhao Xuan, who was sitting cross-legged on the floor meditating, suddenly woke up and quickly stood up to ask.
Xu Chen slowly opened his eyes and said, "I feel much better. I can now use my spiritual consciousness to perform my exercises."
Zhao Xuan said happily: "Great, you can lie down and rest for a while, and I will arrange some meals."
After Zhao Xuan left the room, Xu Chen slowly started to use his inner vision to see the sea of consciousness. Sure enough, he could clearly see the blue jade beads, and he could still feel the cold air entering the sea of consciousness between his eyebrows, but it was
It is absorbed by the jade beads and then released into an almost invisible white gas.
"It seems this is another function of the jade beads!"
Xu Chen was surprised and filled with joy.
However, even if you can exercise your skills and use your spiritual consciousness at this time, as long as your spiritual consciousness moves, you will still feel a burning pain in your soul, but this pain is already bearable, and it is far inferior to the extreme feeling of burning like a burning fire at the beginning.
The little fox was still lying on his forehead, but he was already asleep and even snoring slightly.
"Thanks to this little guy this time!"
Xu Chen reached out and gently touched the soft fur of the little fox and whispered softly.
The little fox seemed to feel particularly comfortable being caressed. He lightly kicked his legs a few times and swung his little tail lightly, sweeping Xu Chen's eyes and nostrils.
"Ah sneeze~"
Xu Chen couldn't help but sneeze. The little fox was awakened and stood up with his eyes widened. Xu Chen simply sat up, put the little fox gently into his arms, then crossed his legs and began to breathe and breathe.
This battle was extremely dangerous. It can be said that the three of them tried their best and almost all their magic weapons and spells were used up. However, the ending was also unexpected, as they actually killed a True Yuan Realm monk.
Theoretically speaking, a True Yuan realm monk with a second-level magic weapon is far more difficult to deal with than a top-level second-level monster.
After all, the intelligence of monsters is limited. If three people join forces and sincerely want to escape, there is basically no big problem.
But he was unlucky and met Xu Chen, a weirdo.
In the cracks of Black Wind Ridge, even the third-level demon wolf was completely annihilated by the blue jade beads. If a monk in the true spirit realm was attacked by the full energy of the jade beads, he might die in an instant.
However, since the jade beads merged into Xu Chen's sea of consciousness, they seemed to be much less powerful. However, after the power of the blue light was fully stimulated by Xu Chen's spiritual consciousness, the impact on the soul was not something that a True Yuan realm monk could withstand.
Xu Chen attacked twice. Although his own soul was also severely damaged, it was obvious that the black-robed Taoist suffered greater damage.
In addition, the Ninth Senior Brother is also a master who has been practicing traveling in rivers and lakes to rob houses and homes for many years. He will not miss any loopholes and opportunities, so the black-robed Taoist will capsize the boat in the ditch and suffer death.
This was a tragic victory, but it also showed Brother Ninth's extraordinary experience in fighting the enemy.
Especially the third-grade phantom talisman, which put unparalleled psychological pressure on the black-robed Taoist. Coupled with the spiritual talisman in the hands of Princess Xiyun and Xu Chen's mysterious soul attack, the black-robed Taoist finally became so panicked that he could only
Die by drinking hatred.
Thinking back on this life-and-death fight, Xu Chen felt that his cultivation level was outrageous, and his experience against the enemy was almost zero.
Facing the black-robed monk, he had almost no power to fight back. If Yuzhu hadn't shown his power, he would have been a complete liability.
Soon, Zhao Xuan led two maids from the inn to come in with food. Seeing that Xu Chen had sat up, she was even more happy and said: "Junior brother seems to be really much better, so I feel relieved. I will go and get the ninth brother."
Call me over to have dinner together and discuss the arrangements."
Zhao Xuan asked people to put the food away, then turned around and went to the next room. Soon, Brother Ninth followed him in with empty footsteps. When he saw Xu Chen, his face was filled with surprise and he said: "It's good that Junior Brother wakes up. It seems we can set off tomorrow!"
Zhao Xuan came in from the back, closed the door and whispered: "Senior brother, you and my junior brother are just getting better. Do you want to rest for two more days before leaving?"
Brother Ninth shook his head and said: "No, this matter is not small. If King Pingxi knows that Princess Xiyun is not dead, he will definitely not let it go. In addition, the origin of the black-robed Taoist is not simple. You must not stay here for too long, even if you have to
You must also find a safe place to cultivate yourself.”
Zhao Xuan nodded and said: "Then let's just go back to the mountain gate, otherwise the road will not be safe."
The Ninth Senior Brother shook his head and said solemnly: "This place is too far from the mountain gate. Even if we wield a sword, it will take at least two days. What's more, my junior brother and I have almost lost all our skills and can't fly with the sword at all. The opponent can dispatch a True Yuan Realm
There is no guarantee that there will be no other helpers. Even if there is another guy in the late Kaiyuan realm, we will definitely die. As the saying goes, the most dangerous place is often the safest place. We must rush to the capital as soon as possible. As long as we get to the capital, we will see
The Emperor of the Song Dynasty would not dare to kill us easily even if a powerful man from the Danyuan Realm comes."
Before Zhao Xuan could speak, Xu Chen also nodded and said: "Senior Brother Ninth is right. Besides, the sect has arranged for us to celebrate the emperor's birthday. If we return to the mountain gate and miss the birthday, it will also affect the reputation of our Taiyuan sect. At the moment, I feel
It's getting better too. At best, I can take care of myself slowly on the road and I should be able to recover soon."
Seeing that the two brothers and sisters said this, Zhao Xuan stopped talking and greeted the two of them to start eating.
The three of them ate, drank, and communicated with each other. Only then did Xu Chen realize that he had been unconscious for a day and a night, and he also realized that this place was not far from the valley where the battle was taking place. In a small town called Wuyang, it was still very dangerous.
Seeing the nervous look on Xu Chen's face, Ninth Brother comforted him with a smile that was uglier than crying: "Little brother, don't be too nervous. Even if the Eight Kings send people to come, it will take at least a few days, not to mention one of them died.
Masters of the True Yuan Realm are afraid that they will throw the enemy into the trap. After all, the True Yuan Realm is not a piece of cabbage. Even if one of the Yuqing Palace dies, it will be painful for several years. Although our Taiyuan Sect is far inferior to the Yuqing Palace, we are not at the mercy of others.
He is a soft persimmon. Once this matter spreads, I am afraid that the Great Elder will go to the capital to question him. Not to mention that the Eighth Prince is just a mortal prince, even if he is the emperor, he still has to kneel down and admit defeat."
Zhao Xuan, who had always been cautious, suddenly showed a hint of confidence and pride, saying: "What the Ninth Senior Brother said makes sense, little Junior Brother, don't worry too much."
Xu Chen nodded and said: "Since the senior brothers and sisters have said so, I am relieved. However, this matter is a bit strange. How did Princess Xiyun get into trouble with the Eight Kings? In addition, the Taoist in black didn't seem to be there at all yesterday.
Putting the Eight Kings in the eyes, Princess Xiyun must have some unknown secret, maybe it is not as simple as ordinary mortal things."
Ninth Senior Brother and Zhao Xuan looked at each other at the same time, as if they suddenly thought of this, so after pondering for a moment, Ninth Senior Brother said: "Junior Brother, this idea is very possible. Originally, I had no intention of getting involved in this matter, but since
The person has been killed, and the relationship has been established. It seems that we must find out the reason. In this case, hurry up and call Princess Xiyun over to ask carefully."
"good!"
The three of them quickly cleared the table full of food and arranged for the maid to clean up. Zhao Xuan went out to find Princess Xiyun.
Soon, Princess Xiyun followed in, still looking like a woman disguised as a man, but she looked very uneasy, especially when she looked at Xu Chen and Ninth Senior Brother, their eyes were obviously frightened.
"Zhao Qian pays homage to the two immortal masters!" Princess Xiyun bowed her hands in salute after entering the door.
Brother Ninth waved his hands slightly and said: "Princess, there is no need to be polite. You have already seen what happened yesterday, and we have been involved in it. But as the saying goes, there is an owner for every injustice, and they are all here for you. We, the Taiyuan Clan, cannot be ignorant.
I have shouldered this trouble for you for no reason, and you should know the reason why I came to you."
Princess Xiyun's face was pale and trembling slightly. She was silent for a long time before choking up and said: "Zhao Qian dare not hide the three immortal masters, but this matter is very involved and has something to do with the Ziyang Sect of the Ming Dynasty's immortal sect."
"Purple Yang Sect?"
Xu Chen and the other three were stunned at the same time. The Ninth Senior Brother suddenly stood up, his face became extremely solemn and said: "In this case, you can't hide it. Tell everything you know so that we can deal with it."
Zhao Qian nodded and said: "This matter started three years ago. My father was originally a Marquis of Xilu. He was at war with the Ming Dynasty all the year round because he guarded the border, but he also had some contacts in private..."
"You don't need to talk about all this nonsense. You just need to explain why you are involved with the Ziyang Sect." Brother Ninth interrupted Princess Xiyun.
Zhao Qian's body trembled slightly and she said softly:
"Three years ago, my father heard that there were relics of ancient immortals at the junction of Xilu County and the Ming Kingdom, so he teamed up with Zhendong Marquis on the border of the Ming Kingdom to secretly arrange for excavations, and later they actually succeeded in digging out an ancient tomb.
However, the ancient tomb was very dangerous, and none of the hundreds of soldiers who entered it came out. Later, they had to secretly invite some immortal masters to go in and investigate, but they all never came back. As a result, my father and the Marquis of Zhendong became nervous and frightened, and they also started to fight in private.
There was a conflict, so my father reported the matter to King Pingxi. King Pingxi led his troops to directly intercept and kill the Donghou of Mingguo Zhen, and then drove thousands of soldiers to enter the ancient tomb again. In the end, the tomb was forcibly opened, and sure enough, the remains of the immortal were found inside.
and several fairy treasures, and what’s even weirder is that the soldiers and monks who went in front to hunt for the treasures all turned into mummies.
My father thought the matter was too important and asked the court to deal with it secretly. However, King Pingxi did not agree and actually wanted to kill my father. So my father had no choice but to escape. However, he was killed by King Pingxi in the end. My father arranged for someone to be killed before he died.
Escort me to escape back to Song Dynasty, and ask me to report this matter to the emperor.
King Pingxi was afraid of leaking the news, and had been secretly arranging people to search for and kill me. I did not dare to return to the capital, so I could only hide everywhere, and finally hid in Nanyang City on the edge of southern Xinjiang. The lord of Nanyang City was an old friend of my father, and he was not
Not knowing the inside story, I stayed in Nanyang City to take refuge.
This time it was the emperor's 100th birthday, so I thought about returning to the capital to see if I could find a chance to meet the emperor to explain the matter. It happened that three immortal masters set out with the caravan, and the Lord of Nanyang City asked me to accompany him. Fortunately, there were some on the way.
I wanted to take care of you, but I never thought that King Pingxi would actually track my whereabouts, so what happened yesterday happened."
