Yun Xiao, who followed the guards out of the Moon Palace, saw that after walking for a stick of incense, he still hadn't reached Xuan Jing's residence. He became a little impatient and asked aloud.
However, Yun Xiao just asked casually. As a behemoth of the Xuanyue Empire, the royal family's area is probably much larger than that of the Yuhu Sect.
In addition, Yun Xiao knew that compared to the crown prince Xuan Jiuding, Xuan Jing was born to a concubine, so his treatment would definitely not be as good as that of the crown prince, so it was reasonable to live in a more remote place.
"Come on, it's in the main hall in front!"
The guard didn't dare to be negligent, and responded respectfully while leading the way. As he stretched out his hand and pointed, a majestic hall in front of him appeared in Yun Xiao's eyes.
"Hey, it seems that the treatment of the second prince is not too bad after all!"
Looking at the main hall, Yun Xiao has quietly reversed his previous guess, secretly saying that Xuanjing is also a prince after all. Although he was born to a concubine, it seems that the king of the country should still treat him well.
"Master Yunxiao, His Highness is waiting for you in the palace, so I won't go in!"
The guard lowered his head, a strange light flashed in his eyes, and he even trembled slightly when he spoke, but Yun Xiao didn't hear it at this time.
"Okay, thanks for showing me the way!"
Naturally, Yun Xiao would not say anything to a guard. He waved his hand and saw the guard leaving quickly. He finally took a few steps forward and pushed open the door of the main hall.
Crunch!
The palace door opened in response, and when Yun Xiao just pushed open the palace door, he felt a strange feeling, which made him involuntarily raise his right hand.
In the palm of his right hand, he saw a crescent-shaped mark, emitting traces of blood-red light, which looked extremely mysterious. This feeling was even familiar to him.
At this time, the sky was completely dark, but the hall was full of lights and candles, illuminating it like daylight. As Yunxiao deepened, the strange feeling in his heart became more and more intense.
"Brother Xuanjing, I'm here!"
Since it was someone else's residence, Yun Xiao could only suppress the feeling first, and instead called out. However, the hall was empty, and apart from the echo, he did not see Xuan Jing's figure.
"Something seems wrong!"
As the joke fell, rows of wooden shelves appeared in front of his eyes, and on these wooden shelves were placed items in square boxes and scrolls.
It was obvious that this place did not look like a place where people lived, but more like a place where some heavenly materials and earthly treasures or pulse techniques were stored, which made Yun Xiao feel a little wary in his heart.
Yun Xiao knew a lot of people in the entire Xuanyue royal family, but if he had a good relationship with him, perhaps there was only one Xuan Jing. So when he heard that it was Xuan Jing who invited him, he did not hesitate.
Came here with the guard.
But now, this hall obviously does not look like a place where strangers live. Thinking of the insidiousness and ruthlessness of those guys in Xuan Jiuding, Yun Xiao has some vague guesses in his heart. This time, it seems that he has fallen into some trap again.
"Um?"
Thinking of this, Yun Xiao paused. Just when he was about to make a decisive decision and leave the palace, a slightly familiar old wooden box appeared in his eyes.
"It's that wooden box!"
Yun Xiao's eyes narrowed, and he immediately recognized the old wooden box. It was the one he saw in the Yuhu Cave and was finally snatched away by Xuanzhi and Yan Chun.
By this time, Yun Xiao already knew what the strange feeling he had felt when he entered the palace just now was. It was probably this old, long wooden box that triggered the feeling of the Blood Moon Jue in his hand.
But what Yun Xiao didn't notice in his excitement was that as he got closer and closer to the wooden box, the aura of the golden snake and insect in his body seemed to have restrained a bit at this moment, as if he had some feelings for the old wooden box.
General fear.
Although Yun Xiao knew that the guard had definitely done nothing good by bringing him here, when he saw the old wooden box, he couldn't move his feet.
In fact, Xueyue Jue is of great importance to Yun Xiao. It not only allows him to find some clues about his father, but also makes it possible to find the murderer of his mother and sister.
Therefore, due to emotions and reasons, Yun Xiao could not give up the old wooden box that could cause Xueyue Jue to move. Even if there was a dragnet in front of him, he decided to break through.
The next moment, Yun Xiao took a deep breath and walked quickly to the old wooden box. When he saw that the rusty black lock was still intact, he couldn't help but breathed a sigh of relief.
"It seems that Xuan Jiuding guy really can't open this black lock!"
A thought flashed through Yun Xiao's mind, and without the slightest hesitation, he reached out and touched his waist, a trace of black light flashed out, and then there was a black key that was also slightly rusty in his hand.
This key looks very inconspicuous, but Yun Xiao spent a thousand points to get it from the Jade Pot Sect's Outer Sect's Wonderful Object Hall. In order to exchange for this black key, he even had a fight with Bi Luo Xuanzhi.
Woolen cloth.
But at that time, Yun Xiao had no idea what the black key was for, and one thousand points was not that easy to obtain, which was already a huge sum of money in the Jade Pot Sect.
Only at this moment did Yun Xiao realize that the one thousand points he exchanged for this key was really worth it, because compared to what was in this wooden box, what was a thousand points?
Yun Xiao, who had always been rational, could no longer care about anything at this time. With excitement, he took another step forward and inserted the black key into the keyhole of the black lock.
As if they were tailor-made, the black key and black lock were perfect, which undoubtedly made Yun Xiao very excited, but the next moment, the excitement on his face disappeared.
"Why can't it turn?"
Yun Xiao tried hard to open the black lock, but no matter how he turned it, the key would not move at all, which made him quite depressed.
It's just that although Yun Xiao was depressed in his heart, he didn't feel depressed anymore. He didn't even have time to think about what was going on. A cold light was already striking down from his right side and heading straight towards him.
The right wrist goes away.
Although Yun Xiao didn't know what that cold light was, he knew clearly that if he didn't shrink his hand, he might not be able to save his right palm.
Yun Xiao made a decision immediately, and with a thought in his mind, he wanted to pull out the black key. In his opinion, this action would not affect his opportunity to withdraw his hand. This black key could not be left to others.
However, this time Yun Xiao miscalculated again. The black key that he thought he could insert easily could not be pulled out under his exertion. His surprise was really extraordinary.
At this critical moment, a flash of lightning flashed in Yun Xiao's mind. He had no time to pull out the black key, so he had to let go first and save his right palm.
No matter how important the black key is, it is not as important as your right hand. Moreover, if your right palm is not protected, the black key will still be unable to be taken out. This is the ideal way to keep the green hills without fear of running out of firewood.
Yun Xiao, who was extremely depressed, finally relied on his extremely quick reaction to save his right palm. When he let go and retracted his hand, the cold light flashed down. It was just the slightest difference. It was the palm of his hand.
An unsafe outcome.
Yun Xiao, who was lucky enough to escape, was not in a good mood. He knew that this time he was finally plotted by Xuan Jiuding, and that guy's purpose had always been the black key in his waist.
This also shows the insidiousness of Xuan Jiuding. He went to Tianyue Pavilion that day to act softly, so he made such a vicious plan to lure Yun Xiao here.
Or perhaps Xuan Jiuding had guessed Yun Xiao's temperament and knew that even if he knew this was a dragon's pond and a tiger's den, he would not be able to resist trying. Facts have proved that his guess about Yun Xiao was extremely correct.
As early as Xuan Jiuding sent the invitation to Yun Xiao, he had already begun to implement his plan, but it changed slightly later. Now his plan is undoubtedly extremely successful.
In fact, Yun Xiao came to this royal family with the intention of getting back the old wooden box. Unfortunately, this was someone else's home court. After all, he suffered Xuan Jiuding's plot and lost the black key.
But is it as simple as just throwing away the black key?
When Yun Xiao dodged the blow and turned his head, his expression became a little more gloomy, because the figure standing in front of him was not too unfamiliar to him.
"Master Yan!"
These two words were almost squeezed out from the gap between Yun Xiao's teeth. It turned out that the figure who suddenly attacked was the middle-level Meridian Realm strongman who he had seriously injured with the power of the golden snake and insect in the veins:
Master Yan!
Master Yan glanced at the black key on the old wooden box, and then his face when he turned his head was filled with extreme joy.
The serious injury in the pulse, and the injury was at the hands of a boy who was only at the early stage of the Chongmai realm. This was simply a shame and a great humiliation for Master Yan who was in the middle stage of the Hemai realm.
Even later, Master Yan spent more than a month recovering from his injury in Luo City, and then he barely recovered. It is worth mentioning that Master Yan was a blessing in disguise, taking advantage of the serious injury to break through to the late stage of the Meridian Realm.
As the saying goes, enemies are extremely jealous when they meet, and it is impossible for Master Yan to let Yun Xiao go, both in public and private matters. However, at this moment, he seems to have forgotten how he was defeated by Yun Xiao in the first place.
"Hehe, Yun Xiao, you didn't expect that we would meet again so soon!"
There was a proud smile on Master Yan's face, as if he had a chance to win, and his words also contained sarcasm. It seemed that today he wanted to avenge himself for being seriously injured by Yun Xiao in Maizang, and this opportunity seemed to be extremely good.
