In the secluded pool of the palace, Jin Qing's iron-green face was pale, and there was a hint of bright red blood at the corner of his mouth. His bloodshot eyes were filled with ferocious cruelty and resentment, as well as a trace of fear. He stared at the broken roof on the dome of the hall.
Hole.
Blood was flowing freely between the fingers that were covering his chest, and there was an astonishing roar coming out, which was clearly a sharp sword with terrifying will.
It seems that he is afraid that another sword light will fall from the hole in the dome. He holds a golden-red dragon scale in his hand and is still trembling.
"Bitch!"
After a long time, Jin Qing seemed to have lost his strength, and collapsed to the ground, panting heavily. He did not let go of the dragon scales for a moment, his eyes were as vicious as a ferocious beast, but he showed the joy of surviving the disaster.
He had to be afraid, because the person who took action was not only stronger than him, but his identity and background were far beyond him!
A newly promoted Demon Saint, the Golden Saint, and the father of the best swordsman in the world, who is stronger and which is weaker is clear at a glance.
It is conceivable that if it were not for Jin Lin's special status now, even if the person who took action killed one of them with a sword, it would not cause much trouble!
Jin Qing can be said to be one of the most noble second generations in China today, but he is only one of them. Even if he belongs to a privileged family, he still has to bow his head in front of the most outstanding ones.
In fact, the murderous intention contained in that sword was by no means just a warning, it was really meant to kill him with the sword. It was just that the other party took one shot, not a second time, leaving the last bit of face for Jin Sheng.
!
Buzz!
Suddenly, there was a vague fluctuation in the depths of the hall, and Jin Qing's expression changed slightly. He didn't even have time to wipe away the blood stains, so he rushed to the back of the hall and came to a treasured mirror that looked like a shell.
The clouds and mist were lingering above it, and there seemed to be the roar of dragons. In the blink of an eye, they gathered into a figure. It was a tall, unusually tall young man in about thirty years old, wearing a gold and black robe, with a tall head and horns!
"Your Highness the Crown Prince!"
In front of this person, even through the precious mirror, Jin Qing was extremely respectful, without any unusual arrogance, and even showed a slight degree of respect and humility.
If anyone saw it, their jaws would drop.
But if you know who the person in the mirror is, you won’t be surprised, because he is also one of the most outstanding beings among the most distinguished young generation today!
Ao Tai, the Dragon Prince of the East China Sea!
Whether it is the strength of the two emperors, the emperor's legitimate son, the future emperor of the East China Sea, or his own peak Dragon Lord, they all surpass Jin Qing by far.
Looking at Yanzhou, although this person is actually very old, among his fellow semi-saints, except for the fallen Lu Jiuyuan, who can beat him head-to-head, there are no more people who can compare with him than just one finger!
"Brother Jin, there is no need to be polite. Sooner or later you will be reborn, become a real dragon, and truly become one of us!"
In the eyes of outsiders, the mysterious, domineering and powerful Ao Tai does not seem to have much airs.
"It's all thanks to the crown prince's care that I am what I am today!"
Jin Qing bowed down obediently, not daring to reveal her abnormality at all, and covered up the slight changes on her face.
Sooner or later, joining the ranks sounded too harsh to him now, especially when he was frightened and shaken by being killed with a sword!
But the fear of the Dragon Prince of the East China Sea has already penetrated deep into his bones, making him afraid to show any signs of it.
Because his father once made it clear that he was one of the heroes of China. If he could survive the chaos of the Demonic Tribulation, he would definitely be among the strong men who would take over the banner of the older generation!
"Are you hurt?"
But the scary thing is that Ao Tai still noticed Jin Qing's abnormality through the thousands of miles of water, but thought it was due to injury.
"His Royal Highness the Crown Prince has good eyesight, I..."
Jin Qing smiled awkwardly, knowing that he couldn't hide it, and said bitterly, "While I was practicing, a disaster fell from the sky, and I was killed with a sword for no reason!"
"oh?"
Ao Tai raised his thick eyebrows, and there were waves flashing through his eyes. He seemed to be interested, "With your status, there are very few people in China who dare to draw a sword against you. Who is it?"
"Liu Yixue, the daughter of the Sword Immortal!"
Jinqing did not add any extravagance and got straight to the point.
"It turns out to be her!"
Ao Tai suddenly realized, as if he had expected it, and said calmly, "Although this woman is the daughter of the Sword Immortal, she has no father-daughter relationship. Moreover, she practices the Tao of Supreme Forgetfulness and is taught by the Sword Master Cihang. It seems that she is you.
The little tricks we arranged have happened!"
"Prince, don't worry, the things I have arranged are very secret and will never be exposed!"
Jin Qing's face turned pale and he leaned over and said, "It's just that this woman is too domineering. She drew her sword and wanted to kill me without any evidence!"
"hehe!"
Ao Tai chuckled lightly and comforted, "Just relax, the human race claims to be a country of etiquette, but in fact they are all hypocrites. These people are accustomed to arrogant and domineering based on their status and background, and do not take the world's heroes in their eyes."
, you will suffer a big loss sooner or later!"
"What the prince said is absolutely true!"
The embarrassment in Jin Qing's eyes flashed away, and she thought to herself that this was not him, but she only dared to think about it in her heart. However, she felt that the other person's tone was a little wrong, and seemed to be full of deep meaning, so she boldly asked, "Prince
It seems that there is something in the words, but there are some instructions to give, so I can be prepared."
"oh!"
Ao Tai lowered his eyes slightly, until he saw Jin Qing's back with cold sweat dripping down his face, then he smiled gently and said, "Actually, this is not a secret. With your current status, you should know something about it. Originally, I was waiting for you.
I realized something myself!”
"Thank you for your consideration, the prince. I will do my best to assist the prince and unify the world!"
Jin Qing said respectfully.
"hehe!"
Ao Tai smiled slightly, not paying attention, and said calmly, "I believe you also know the origin of the Sword Immortal inheritance. His master inherited taboos, was tabooed by heaven, and did not end well. Although he did not have the power to dominate China and dominate the whole world.
Yes, but his arrogance of repeatedly ignoring the iron law and not taking the world's strong men into consideration has made many people unable to see through him."
Jin Qing's pupils shrank and her breathing became rapid.
With his current experience and knowledge, as long as he has enough clues and guidance, it is easy to determine some secrets.
Just hearing these words, and related to the legendary taboos of the late Middle Ages and early modern times, and the peerless swordsman of the contemporary era, was the key, even he couldn't help but feel the terrifying pressure sweeping over him like a wave!
But it was precisely because of this that Jin Qing realized that now he had truly reached Ao Tai's circle and became one of the top beings in China!
Of course, this only refers to the second-generation circle!
"To maintain the stability of the temples, what we need is a stable and harmonious state of China. The human race can maintain its status as the lord of the state of China. With such a lawless existence, it certainly makes many people feel like they are stuck in their throats and restless!"
Ao Tai continued.
"Isn't this... impossible? That person is the pillar of the human race, and the temples are the cornerstone of the human race. How could it be... how could it be..."
Jin Qing's face turned red and she was extremely nervous. Although she was quite frightened, she still sensed that something was wrong.
"Haha, that's right, it's not in vain to be cultivated by the Golden Saint!"
Ao Tai smiled slightly and nodded, seeming quite satisfied.
"I'm so foolish, please let the prince explain clearly!"
Jin Qing bowed his head and said.
"The human race is one of the most intelligent races among the intelligent races in all realms. The temples will never cut off their own arms!"
Ao Tai's words made Jin Qing look confused, "But now that the Demonic Tribulation is in chaos, the position of the Lord of China is unstable. It is up to this person to shine and be worthy of the name of the best swordsman in the world!"
"hiss……"
Jin Qing's pupils shrank and he took a deep breath, as if he had bitten his cheek.
"Don't worry, it's not as scary as you think!"
Ao Tai laughed and said calmly, "There is a saying in the human race that if you want to wear a crown, you must bear its weight. They all say that there is no empty person under great fame, but how many people in the world can not be burdened by great fame? Even that person back then
The most amazing and talented Taboo Master in ancient and modern times has fallen, and the world's best swordsman is nothing!"
"Your Highness is far-sighted and far-sighted, we are far less than what is expected!"
Jinqing said respectfully.
At this moment, he finally realized clearly that the gap between him and his opponent was not just about his cultivation strength, but also his vision and experience.
Therefore, when I heard such remarks, I immediately thought that the Holy Temples wanted to take action against the world's best swordsman, but is this really the case?
Absolutely not, because as long as the temples sit still, their towers will rise and fall!
"alright!"
Ao Tai waved his hand and said with a smile, "I am looking for you this time because I need your help with something!"
"Prince, just give me your orders, just pass the letter on a piece of paper!"
Jin Qing said more respectfully.
"Youxialing Demon Cave is about to be reopened. There are a few things in there that are of great use to me. Please help me get them!"
Ao Tai didn't waste any words, and after finishing the arrangements in a concise and concise manner, he said meaningfully, "When you succeed, I will help you realize that wish!"
"desire?"
Jin Qing was stunned for a moment, and then he was overjoyed, "Prince, don't worry, I will fight to the death, and it will be completed!"
"Very good, let's wait and see!"
Ao Tai nodded slightly, and the light and shadow turned and disappeared.
"Hmph, let me make you proud and treat me as you please..."
Until the mirror surface returned to flatness, Jin Qing slowly stood up and stared at the mirror, his expression gradually turned cold, and a cold light like a poisonous snake shot out from his eyes.
…
At the same time, outside a city somewhere far away in the Eastern Song Dynasty.
"Master, I..."
Honglian hugged Niuniu, who was sleeping soundly, and her face, whose color had returned, was full of grievances and confusion.
"Don't think too much, take good care of your injuries, and don't worry about other things!"
Wu Ming waved his hand and said directly to Qingzhu, "Haosheng arranged for her to cultivate. If there is a problem, you are the only one to ask!"
"Don't worry, brother, there won't be any problems. It's just that no one is around where you are going next. I can take care of you at least!"
Qingzhu said worriedly.
In his memory, Wu Ming had never been so out of touch. He didn't even have an in-depth talk with Hong Lian, but directly arranged for her to live in seclusion in the countryside and was not allowed to interfere in anything.
"It doesn't matter, if anything happens, I will send you a message!"
Wu Ming shook his head, feeling a little worried after all, and said earnestly to Hong Lian, "Don't contact Baihua Palace anymore. I will solve the matter of Hua Ji's bloodline!"
"yes!"
Honglian weakly agreed and followed Qingzhu away.
It wasn't until he watched the two of them enter the city that Wu Ming turned around and left. Little did he know that this departure would actually bring about the consequences of lifelong regret!
Of course, this is a story for another day!
Now, before heading to Youxia Ridge, he has to meet an old friend he hasn't seen for many years!
