Ignoring the shock in the hearts of Gu Dao and Han Santong, Yun Xiao clasped his feet tightly to prevent himself from being thrown off by the blood-winged fire-eyed lion, and the icy power in his left arm was continuously sent in.
into the gloomy wood.
The gloomy wood originally contained extremely yin energy, and coupled with the power of the ancestral veins of ice, the moment this aura hit the lion's body, it gave the big guy an extremely weird feeling.
The blood-winged fire-eyed lion is huge and has been poisoned for a long time, so the detoxification time this time is destined not to be too short, and the consumption of Yunxiao pulse energy is also a great challenge.
However, Yun Xiao has always pursued perfection in everything he does, and now he has a strange expectation. If this is successful, he may have an extremely powerful life-saving ability.
…………
Lingtian royal family!
In a certain hall, there is a noble young figure with a rather gloomy expression. If Yun Xiao were here, he would find that this was the prince of the empire who he had met in the Pulse Refiner Guild: Nie Qianqiu!
Nie Qianqiu was in a bad mood after being humiliated by Yun Xiao in the Pulse Refining Masters Guild. After returning to the palace, he became more and more angry as he thought about it, but he couldn't go to the Pulse Refining Masters Guild to arrest people. He was really depressed.
pole.
As the crown prince of the Lingtian Empire and an amazing genius, Nie Qianqiu would never allow anyone else in the Lingtian Empire to be more talented than himself. At this moment, he suddenly felt a hint of hidden murderous intention.
.
Tread!
Just when some thoughts arose in Nie Qianqiu's mind, a footstep suddenly came from outside the hall, and it seemed that the footsteps did not stop at all and went straight into the hall.
This is the residence of His Royal Highness the Crown Prince, and among the entire Lingtian Empire, the current Lord of the Lingtian Kingdom is probably the only one who dares to enter here directly without going through communication.
But when Nie Qianqiu raised his head, what he saw was not his father, but an old man in black with a sinister expression on his face.
"Mr. Ran Xing, are you back?"
It is worth mentioning that although the old man in black was not the Lord of Lingtian Kingdom, Prince Nie Qianqiu respected him very much. He directly stepped forward and bowed before asking.
"Um!"
The face of the old man in black didn't look very good, but Nie Qian didn't seem to notice it. He didn't speak again until the former walked straight up and sat down.
"Mr. Ran Xing, if you take action personally, this time the Lingyun Sect will definitely be grateful, right?"
The prince obviously knew why this man had gone out a few days ago, so he immediately uttered compliments. However, as soon as he said these words, the face of the old man in black became even more ugly.
This old man in black is naturally the low-level pulse refiner Ran Xing who has met Yun Xiao several times. He failed in his plans in the Xuanyue Empire and ended up in the Lingtian Empire for some reason.
But unexpectedly, the long-planned plan was ruined again. How could Ran Xing be happy? And when he thought that the kid who ruined his plan was still Yun Xiao, he wanted to cut him into pieces, so that he could disappear.
Get the hatred in your heart.
"Let's talk about this later!"
Regarding his failure, how could Ran Xing say more in front of His Highness the Crown Prince? He just waved his hand, but this gesture and tone still allowed Nie Qianqiu to guess some clues.
"But... there is one thing that perhaps His Highness the Crown Prince would be interested in knowing!"
Suddenly, Ran Xing raised his eyes and stared at the Crown Prince, looking a little strange. What he said also made Nie Qianqiu puzzled. What on earth could make this person's eyes look so strange?
"Your Highness, you should have deep admiration for Xu Hongzhuang, the daughter of Lingyun Sect's leader, right?"
Ran Xing ignored Nie Qianqiu's confused gaze, but changed the topic again to this issue that almost everyone in the royal family knew.
"This shouldn't be a secret, and I am confident that one day I will be able to win a beautiful woman!"
Speaking of this, Nie Qianqiu's confidence seems to have returned. He has never concealed his admiration for Xu Hongzhuang, the daughter of Lingyun Sect Leader. As His Royal Highness, he also has the confidence to do so.
"Hehe, that's not necessarily the case!"
Ran Xing had no respect for the Crown Prince. He smiled and said, "You should know that Xu Hongzhuang had already made a marriage contract before she was born, right?"
Nie Qianqiu frowned, but still said: "Of course I know this. I heard that it was a waste of a small family in the Xuanyue Empire, and that family was wiped out a few years ago, and no one survived. What do you think?
What’s this for?”
"No one survived? Your Highness the Crown Prince made a mistake this time, and it was so wrong!"
Ran Xing shook his head again, and the words he spoke this time finally made Prince Nie Qianqiu's eyes flash with a flash of murderous intent, unabashedly rising.
"Mr. Ran Xing, are you saying that the man the girl with red makeup married on her fingertips is still alive?"
Thinking of a possibility in his mind, Nie Qianqiu couldn't bear it anymore, took a step forward, stared at Ran Xing and asked, his voice filled with suppressed rage.
Nie Qianqiu had indeed known for a long time that Xu Hongzhuang was involved in a finger-tip marriage, but as Prince Lingtian, he only inquired about the family's situation and stopped paying attention.
Even Nie Qianqiu only knew that the small family of Xuanyue Empire was named Shang, and how could such a weak family be compared with the lofty prince of Lingtian Empire?
In time, Nie Qianqiu will become a big figure in the Lingtian Kingdom. Even in the entire Qianlong Continent, I am afraid that no one will dare to easily provoke him. A small family like Shang, even in the Xuanyue Empire, will not be able to do anything.
Can be destroyed.
Nie Qianqiu always believed that Xu Hongzhuang was a proud woman of heaven, and only a peerless genius like herself could be worthy of her. That guy who appeared out of nowhere, even if he was lucky enough to survive, would never be able to compete with him.
"Hey, not only is he still alive, but that boy's talent in soul and martial arts is also extraordinary. I was also shocked when I saw him in Lingyun Sect!"
Ran Xing did not talk about the intersection between himself and Yun Xiao in the Xuanyue Empire. He knew what His Highness the Crown Prince cared about most, so he only talked about that person's talent and wanted to make the person in front of him feel a serious sense of crisis.
"He went to Lingyun Sect?"
Nie Qianqiu grasped a key point and wondered, could it be that the merchant boy had achieved some success in cultivation and wanted to cling to the high branch of Lingyun Sect and fulfill his original engagement?
"Of course, if it weren't for that boy Yun Xiao, how could my plan have failed?"
Ran Xing finally couldn't help but speak out in hatred, but when he said the word "Yunxiao", the eyes of Nie Qianqiu in front of him almost burst into flames.
"Yun Xiao? You said his name is Yun Xiao?"
Nie Qianqiu seemed to be gritting his teeth, and there was also a hint of resentment. This was really a coincidence. If it weren't for the same name, then the boy who embarrassed him in the Pulse Refining Masters Guild was the same one that he had never paid attention to.
The biggest enemy of love you have ever experienced?
"What? Your Highness the Crown Prince knows Yun Xiao?"
This time it was Ran Xing's turn to be surprised. He knew clearly that Yun Xiao had just come to Lingtian Empire from Xuanyue Empire, and that His Highness the Crown Prince had dismissed him before. Logically speaking, the two of them should have nothing in common.
But Ran Xing didn't know that in just a few days, Yun Xiao had already made such a big fuss in the Pulse Refining Masters Guild in Lingtian Imperial Capital, and had made His Highness the Crown Prince disgraced.
"He...why did he go to Lingyun Sect?"
Naturally, Nie Qianqiu would not talk about his embarrassing incident, but instead asked a key question. If Yun Xiao really went to Lingyun Sect to fulfill the old covenant and Xu Hongzhuang agreed, it would be extremely bad.
"Your Highness, there is no need to worry. Yun Xiao is going to Lingyun Sect to actually cancel the engagement!"
Ran Xing's face looked a little strange. Thinking of the scene he saw in the room of the Lingyun Sect's master's wife, he still finds it a bit unbelievable.
"Cancel the engagement?"
Hearing this, Nie Qianqiu's eyes froze, as if he didn't hear clearly. Shouldn't that kid take the opportunity to climb up the big tree of Lingyun Sect? Why did he cancel the engagement instead?
"Ah, I understand. It's the girl with red makeup who is dissatisfied with this marriage, and Sect Master Ling Song is also putting pressure on her. That guy is concerned about his face, so he took the initiative to cancel the engagement under pressure, right?"
Nie Qianqiu consciously found an excellent reason, and this speculation was reasonable and should be the truth. Thinking about Xu Hongzhuang, a proud daughter of heaven, with a deep-rooted Lingyun clan, and a young boy whose family was ruined, what qualifications did he have to retire?
relative?
"I'm afraid that's not the case!"
Ran Xing thought about what happened in Lingyun Sect and shook his head slightly. However, he could only guess a few of the details. However, in any case, Yun Xiao's decision to withdraw from the engagement seemed to be on his own initiative rather than being forced.
of passivity.
"You bastard, a loser whose whole family was wiped out dares to humiliate a girl with red makeup like this. You really don't know how to live or die!"
Nie Qianqiu was startled at first, and then anger arose in his heart. Xu Hongzhuang was his heart treasure. Even if she had not agreed to his marriage proposal, she would not allow others to humiliate her like this.
If Xu Hongzhuang had brought up this matter first, Nie Qianqiu would not be so angry. But who is Yun Xiao? In the Lingtian Empire, there is no room for him to be so presumptuous.
New and old grudges welled up in his heart, and Nie Qianqiu felt jealous. His eyes turned to Ran Xing beside him and he had already made a decision.
"Mr. Ran Xing, since Yun Xiao ruined your plan, are you interested in getting this place back?"
Nie Qianqiu seemed to have restored the sanity of the imperial prince. From Ran Xing's words just now, he also guessed certain facts. As the imperial prince, of course he could not do things like murder and arson openly. The person in front of him was
