After locking the position, Ling Xiyue's eyes flew around, carefully observing the surrounding formations and the guards of all parties, and constructing the optimal route map in her mind as quickly as possible.
Then, he flew down and his steps were as light as water on a sunny day.
Her figure was shrouded in the shadow of the wall, and she walked quickly forward, riding on the wind.
This entire royal city is based on jade-colored marble and supplemented by black wood. Under the clear night, it echoes the color of the sky and the moonlight. It is entrenched on the top of the mountains and blends with the heaven and earth.
Relying on her memory, Ling Xiyue found her way to the Yin Eye in less than a quarter of an hour.
It faces the highest peak, Ziyi Palace, across an abyss.
But this place is actually a single peak!
There are four iron chain bridges between the surrounding mountains and hills, connected to the peaks rising from the ground like a pillar of the sky. However, at this hour, there are still people guarding the entrances of the four iron chain bridges.
Take strict precautions day and night.
This also proves that this must be an extremely important place!
Ling Xiyue tiptoed and climbed to a tree next to her, frowning, "This is going to be really difficult..."
As long as someone walks by these four exposed and shining iron cables, they will definitely be discovered, unless she grows wings and flies over.
Of course, it's not impossible, but it's a pity that she doesn't have a wingsuit on her now, and she's short of time. It's not realistic to make a hang glider now. It's still on someone else's territory, and everyone is watching her every move, so it's really difficult to do it.
Ling Xiyue weighed it in her mind for a moment, and then decisively chose to evacuate.
Suddenly, as she was climbing high on an ancient branch, two white shadows were reflected in her peripheral vision.
Her nerves suddenly tightened, and she even held her breath. She remained motionless for a few seconds, then gently turned around and looked in the direction she saw out of the corner of her eye.
Through the gaps between the leaves, I could see the two figures clearly.
They are two old men.
One is wearing a gray shirt with long eyebrows, and the other is wearing a silver robe and a scepter.
The two of them walked from the jade corridor to here, and stood side by side facing Ling Xiyue in the wooden pavilion beside the Tianchi on the top of the mountain.
The distance between them was not too far or too close, but because it was night, the appearance of the two of them could not be clearly seen, and only their outlines could be vaguely seen.
But just from their outlines, one can feel the extraordinary aloofness of these two old men.
It is the kind of unpretentiousness that unites the great road, as if the next moment, it can become an immortal.
What the two people were talking about was only separated by a corner of Tianchi, and the two people spoke slowly and softly, so they couldn't hear it at all.
"Your Highness, I have been away from the island for many days..." Ling Xiyue opened and closed her lips silently. She squinted her eyes and looked over there with concentration. She could only rely on lip reading to read a little bit of the content, "Will you?"
You won’t go looking for that woman, then?”
Ling Xiyue frowned, her eyebrows forming a small mountain-like frown.
The moonlight is getting darker, and the water surface of Tianchi is even more hazy, making it difficult to read lips clearly.
"No, there are two priests who have been following me for so, many years..." Ling Xiyue tilted her head to identify, "The ghost tribe is restless..."
She always felt that she had missed something important. Ling Xiyue held her hands on the branches and stretched her body.
She was getting ready to climb a little higher so she could see more clearly.
But unexpectedly, Ling Xiyue let out her breath and prepared to take a breath. With an extremely subtle movement, a thunderous shout came in her ears, "Whoever is there, get out of here!"
Ling Xiyue's cold eyes widened and she secretly thought it was not good.
What the hell, from this far away, she can even notice it when she takes a breath?
The silver-robed old man glanced around with deep eyes, his eyes as deep as the abyss of the dark sea.
This was not an illusory move, but a real trace. Facing such masters, Ling Xiyue did not dare to take any chances. She waited in place and waited at the moment when the fierce shout came.
Jump down from the tree.
The gray-robed old man glanced away and snorted, "What little thief dares to break into this place!"
As he spoke, he stamped his foot hard, causing water to splash on the surface of Tianchi.
The old man waved his sleeves, and the condensed water splashes in the air formed thin water mist blades, carrying the biting coldness and blowing away with the wind, and struck straight through with lightning speed!
"Wow"
A sound that permeates heaven and earth!
Ling Xiyue rolled over and fell from the ancient tree, avoiding them as quickly as possible. She could still feel the strong wind, which caused a stinging pain in her cheeks.
When you meet a master, you will win every second.
Ling Xiyue didn't dare to waste a moment. After falling, she quickly dodged into the night and ran away.
Behind, there was a loud "clicking" noise. The towering ancient tree was ripped open by the incoming strong wind and split into two halves. The branches and leaves fell down, and the exposed forest white trunk looked like fish belly white under the moonlight.
people.
Ling Xiyue caught a glimpse from the corner of her eye, and her teeth felt sore.
If it had been half a second slower, she would have been split in half!
Behind them, torches were soon lit up, and the sounds of compact and chaotic footsteps followed. This area must have been under martial law. Then, a sound similar to the cry of an eagle was heard in the night sky, hovering over the royal city.
The next step is probably to search the whole city for "assassins" and "thieves".
So Ling Xiyue didn't stop at all and went back to her residence as quickly as possible.
The commotion that had just occurred, along with the signal-like cry of the eagle, spread throughout the entire royal city in an instant!
All the guards were very energetic, and the journey back was much more bumpy than before when they walked quietly without attracting anyone's attention.
Ling Xiyue is like a monkey, passing through the mountains.
She scaled a high wall and was about to leap over it when a group of guards hurriedly came from below. Ling Xiyue was startled and ducked into another gate.
Listen quietly until the footsteps fade away.xdw8
However, just as she was about to leave, the scenery here suddenly caught her attention.
The scene in front of her was completely different from the simple and elegant palace outside. She almost thought she had traveled to another world.
Small bridge, flowing water, bamboo house, stone table...
A tree is full of flowers and fallen flowers are in full bloom.
This majestic royal city, which symbolizes the pinnacle of royal power, actually hides such a quiet and unique courtyard.
Under the night, it is as quiet as a fairy under the moon, a beautiful lady isolated from the world.
It looks clean, spotless, and definitely not deserted.
Someone must come to clean it frequently and take good care of it.
"This place..." Ling Xiyue walked forward slowly, frowning and murmuring.
What made Ling Xiyue stop was not because the scenery here was so beautiful, nor because it was special compared to the outside, but because she glanced over and felt that this place seemed familiar to her.
That's not right, she was sure that she had never set foot in this place.
Not to mention this royal city, even Nanyu has not!
