"I think back then, your grandfather and the third uncle of the businessman were close friends. They once had a bold saying: 'Fight the evil with a sharp edge, sheath the sword and smile with red makeup.' And the names of you and Yun Xiao came from this. The marriage contract between the two families
, I only waited for you and Yun Xiao to reach adulthood, so I didn’t know that such a thing would happen."
Xu Lingsong's tone was full of emotion, but if you listen carefully, you can't hear any sadness in his words. Xu Hongzhuang, who was in shock, naturally found nothing.
"But that's okay. I heard that Yun Xiao accidentally damaged the meridians all over his body in order to heal people's injuries a few months ago. Not only did he lose all his pulse energy, he was even unable to practice pulse energy from now on. I don't want my precious daughter to...
Marry such a loser!"
Xu Lingsong seemed to be excited about what he was talking about and spoke out some of the hidden thoughts in his heart. After saying these words, Xu Hongzhuang finally noticed and stared blankly at her father with a pair of beautiful eyes.
"Father, have you known about the damage to Yunxiao's meridians for a long time?"
Xu Hongzhuang stared at her father. When she asked this question, Xu Lingsong realized that he had lost his temper. But immediately, he heard his daughter say again: "More than a month ago, Elder Yu Qian left Lingyun City for a while. Could it be that
Is it related to this matter?"
Xu Hongzhuang's outstanding question caught Xu Lingsong off guard, but as the contemporary head of the Lingyun Sect, he was used to seeing big storms. Although he was secretly frightened, his face remained calm.
"Hongzhuang, do you suspect that your father planned the massacre of the businessman? In your heart, is your father so unbearable?" Xu Lingsong pretended to be angry, and there was a touch of pain in his words, which really showed that he was wronged by his daughter.
The image of an aggrieved and loving father.
"Father, it's not that I want to doubt you, I just want to find out the truth. Besides, Yunxiao's meridian has been injured. It's not like you can't do these things for me!" Xu Hongzhuang was not impressed by her father's behavior.
He looked confused, but seemed particularly rational at this time.
Xu Lingsong, who knew his daughter very well, knew that this shrewd girl would never believe him if he couldn't come up with a solid explanation, so he rolled his eyes and knew that he was planning on her.
"Okay, I did have that thought!"
As soon as Xu Lingsong said this, he saw his daughter's face change slightly, and immediately said: "But Hongzhuang, you should know that the strength of our Lingyun Sect is among the best in the Lingtian Empire, but the business is located in the Xuanyue Empire, and our Lingyun Sect's hands are
, no matter how long it is, it can’t stretch this far, can it?”
Seeing that Xu Hongzhuang was silent, Xu Lingsong continued: "And during this period, not only your father, but also your grandfather and the old sect master have been staying in the sect. Do you think that Yu Qian, the great elder of Lingyun Sect, can
Can you travel thousands of miles to destroy merchants?"
"That's a good thing!" Xu Hongzhuang finally nodded, making Xu Lingsong breathe a sigh of relief and secretly thought that this level of difficulty was finally over. If his daughter got serious, she would really have a headache.
"Since my father didn't do it, then who did it? Who would have such a deep grudge against a businessman that he would kill everyone?" Xu Hongzhuang's face was full of doubts, but Xu Lingsong opposite her said something.
Not sent.
"Father, our Lingyun Sect has some friendship with the merchant, not to mention the marriage agreement. This revenge must be avenged. Can you promise me to help the merchant find the murderer?" Xu Hongzhuang suddenly raised her head and stared at her own face.
Father, said firmly.
"This... natural!" Although Xu Lingsong said the word "natural" in his mouth, his daughter did not see the unnaturalness in his heart. The cause and effect may have to be hidden for a lifetime.
For a moment, the hall fell into a strange silence. It was not until a long time later that Xu Hongzhuang sighed softly. She was filled with emotion for Yun Xiao, who had been engaged since childhood but had never met her once. However, nothing happened.
At this point, it's too late to say anything.
The half of the jade pendant that Xu Hongzhuang held in her hand seemed to sting her palms slightly. And will this jade pendant, which was given to her by her ancestor, one day meet her partner again?
…………
The grass is fragrant and the rocks are still the same.
At this time, a full year has passed since all the merchants were wiped out, and during this year, the corpses that died in the courtyard of the merchant village had only pale bones. The only things that remained unchanged were rocks and grass.
Perhaps even those plants and trees are no longer what they were a year ago. One year is enough for people to forget many things, and it is also enough to change many things, such as this merchant house.
The businesses that once prospered in Yuegong City have become overrun with weeds after a whole year of depression. If it weren't for the two cultivators in black who had to guard here due to certain orders, perhaps this place would be completely deserted.
An unpopular haunted house.
On the rockery that remained unchanged, the obscure cave seemed a little hazy among the weeds, but deep inside the cave, there was a figure who had been lying for a year. The index finger of his right hand seemed to be lightly
It moved slightly.
This figure naturally broke into the snake's nest in order to survive. In the end, a series of changes occurred. Yun Xiaoxiao didn't know why he was in a coma for a whole year and still didn't die. Anyway, at this moment, his right index finger moved
, even his eyelids were beating meaninglessly at this moment.
Whoosh!
The hazy and fuzzy scene suddenly became clear. Yun Xiao, who was in a certain state, seemed to have entered another perspective. In front of him, stood a sturdy figure wearing a dragon crown, and this sturdy figure
In the hand of the figure, he is holding a majestic spear.
"Ah, it hurts!"
The hazy sensation made De Yunxiao cry out in pain. Immediately, his eyes suddenly moved down from nowhere, and he immediately knew where the severe pain was coming from.
One end of the majestic spear was held in the hand of the sturdy figure, and the tip of the spear had already pierced into "Yunxiao"'s chest. A bloody smell hit his nostrils, leaving him unaware of where he was.
"Your Majesty... Your Majesty, why?"
A voice containing infinite sorrow and confusion came out, but what "Yunxiao" saw was a blurry face containing a ferocious smile. No matter how he opened his eyes, apart from the ferocious smile, there was nothing
I still couldn't clearly see the appearance of that strong figure.
"Your Majesty, for thousands of years, I have fought for you all over the world. I have suffered many scars, and finally stabilized this nine-level dragon sky. Why do you still want to do this?" The low voice continued to come out, containing deep confusion.
.
"Haha, you have indeed made great contributions to me, but now Jiuzhong Longxiao only knows that you, the God of War, Longxiao, have no eyes for me. I am afraid that in a few years, you will climb on top of me!" Zhuang
The laughter of the tall figure came, but his face was still hazy.
"Your Majesty, you and I used to be like brothers. At that time, I swore that I would regard you as my elder brother for the rest of my life. I don't believe that this is the reason why you want to kill me!" He seemed to be shaking his head, and in this voice, there was another
Full of deep disbelief.
"You are indeed the shrewd Dragon Sky God of War!" The strong figure moved his wrist, making the person opposite him groan in pain, and then heard him say: "Yes, I want to kill you not because of your superior skills.
The earthquake master, but...for her!"
As soon as he said this, an equally vague and graceful figure suddenly appeared in the eyes of "Yun Xiao" who didn't know where he was. He only felt his body tremble violently, and then it seemed that all the strength of his body was here.
Disappeared in an instant.
"Wan'er, you...you...you..."
The hazy voice was extremely trembling, and he could not finish a sentence in the end, but this aroused the anger of the sturdy figure. He saw him pull out the spear inserted into Longxiao God of War with one hand, and a spurt of blood shot out.
And it came out and sprayed out far away.
"I'm sorry, if I follow you, I can only stay at home and raise my children for the rest of my life, but if I follow him, I can become the Dragon Queen admired by hundreds of millions of people!" A faint voice came from the mouth of the vague and graceful woman, although it was calm.
, but it was like a huge hammer hitting the heart of Longxiao God of War.
Longxiao God of War, who had his heart pierced by a spear, could no longer bear this moment. A mouthful of bright red blood spurted out, and he knew nothing about it immediately.
…………
"ah!"
From the rockery cave in the merchant's village, a meaningless shout came out, and then Yun Xiao opened his eyes and sat up straight away.
However, Yun Xiao, who was sitting up, seemed a little confused. His pair of lightless eyes were staring at the empty cave space, completely unaware of where he was.
"What...what is this place? Am I not dead?"
Yun Xiao looked stunned outside, but deep in his soul, a voice murmured, and his tone contained deep confusion.
"Cang Long Emperor..., Wan'er..."
Two names like a nightmare flashed through my mind, but the next moment, the voice howled in pain, and it didn't stop until a long time later.
"It turns out it was just a dream. My soul was reborn in Yun Xiao's body a year ago!" After the intense pain, the voice deep in the soul finally remembered something, and he was not so entangled at the moment.
Already.
"I was actually in a coma for a whole year?!" Yun Xiao dug out his memory and recalled the past, his consciousness gradually became clearer, but the next moment, he had another strange feeling.
"Hey...hey..., brat, where are you going?"
Just when Yun Xiao had just regained consciousness, he suddenly realized that the body was no longer under his control. He stood up and walked towards the entrance of the cave.
A year ago, Longxiao God of War was reborn in Yun Xiao's body. At that time, he could completely control this new body independently, and he could even practice pulse energy without any hindrance.
But at this moment, both Yun Xiao's body and the soul belonging to Longxiao God of War were in an inexplicable state. As a result, Yun Xiao's body was not under control at all. It was just an instinctive movement.
Now it seems that some unknown changes have occurred in his body within this year.
