"After I leave the secret realm, I will personally inform my new sister about what happened to Xifeng during this period, but I hope you will not interfere in the private affairs of the three of us."
Under the moonlight, Zhong Lingxi's resolute gaze deeply hurt Zhao Long's heart. This scene is so similar. Back then in Biyou Palace, Li Xintian did not hesitate to anger Han Sanli, but also stood up for Yi Xifeng...
There was a bit of shame in Zhao Long's eyes. How was his behavior different from Han Sanli's? After thinking about it, he silently put away his swords, bowed and apologized to Zhong Lingxi and Yi Xifeng.
"I'm sorry, I was impulsive in this matter. I really shouldn't have intervened. After all... I'm really not qualified to make decisions for Li Xintian..."
Afterwards, Zhao Long sighed, bowed his hands to Zhong Lingxi and the other two, and left the place.
Zhong Lingxi slowly lowered her head. She was feeling a little depressed now. There was only one Yi Xifeng, but there were two people who loved him. This was a dilemma. She couldn't avoid it and had to face it.
"Let's go back too."
After Yi Xifeng removed the barrier, he turned to Zhong Lingxi and said. The girl in purple nodded and silently followed the fair young man, neither far away nor close.
As the two of them walked, Yi Xifeng suddenly took Zhong Lingxi's right hand. The girl in purple instinctively wanted to tighten it, but she paused as soon as her fingers moved. For the first time, she wanted to break away from this warm hand, although
She was a little reluctant to leave.
At this time, Yi Xifeng seemed to be aware of his desire to break free, but instead of letting go, the warm hand clenched tighter. After being unable to break free several times, he allowed the other party to hold him.
hand.
The corners of Zhong Lingxi's mouth gradually curved into a crescent shape. She quietly glanced at Yi Xifeng beside her. Under the moonlight, the fair young man's face showed even more perseverance and determination.
…………
In the western corner of Jixiao City, a hooded figure in black is standing on a high pavilion, holding a black jade pendant in his hand. A faint red light flashes inside the jade pendant. In this dark night, as long as a little
The farther away you are, the less you can notice it.
After forgetting to glance around, the figure in black finally set his sights on a river pond not far away.
There is no vegetation around the river pond. Green grass grows only in places tens of feet away. Compared with other places, this place looks a bit weird.
The figure in black jumped off the high pavilion and came to the shore. At this time, the black jade pendant shone brighter and brighter, and then with a "plop" sound, the man in black threw the jade pendant directly into the lake.
The man in black closed his eyes, crossed his hands on his chest, bowed slightly, and murmured to himself like a devout believer:
"The moonlight bathes my body, awakens the dark blood flowing in fear, dyes every piece of pure land, and nourishes every flower on the other side. I will pray for the arrival of my god with a pious heart..."
Every time the man in black uttered a sentence, the bottom of the lake shook. Finally, the man in black prayed in the way of a believer. He touched the center of his eyebrows with his right index finger, and a strange black flame kept beating on his fingertips.
The man in black walked to the river bank step by step. He knelt down on one knee and gently sent the flame from his fingertips into the river pond...
"Rumble..."
The entire river pond began to shake continuously, and it seemed vaguely that something was about to emerge from the bottom of the lake.
The man in black stood up and took two steps back. Then, a circular altar with a radius of ten feet slowly rose from the center of the river pond. The edge of the altar was engraved with extremely complex runes. Those runes were not applicable to this secret.
Some of the words are somewhat similar to the words engraved on the soul-sacrifice stone pillars that Mozi Qianyuan set up around Loulan City.
The altar is a bit dilapidated, as if it has been hidden underground in the river pond for hundreds of years, but most of the structure of the altar is still intact.
In the center of the altar, the black jade pendant was lying quietly.
"now!"
As the man in black shouted, the altar that had been corroded by time emitted a strong blood energy, and a frightening and dangerous aura emitted.
The center of the altar continued to break apart, until after the black jade pendant fell, a black fire shot up into the sky and penetrated into the sky. The strange black fire not only blocked the moonlight, but also directly dispersed the clouds in the sky.
When the black fire dissipated, an object fell from the sky and disappeared...
The sudden change woke up every house in Jixiao City. As candlelight lit up, some people ran out without even wearing their coats.
"What happened?"
"It seems like something happened over there at the river pond."
"Look at the clouds in the sky!"
Everyone looked up and saw a large hole in the sky, and the dark clouds beside the hole were slowly spreading in all directions.
"Something seems to have emerged from the river pond?"
Hearing the sound, a circular altar loomed in the river pond. While everyone was surprised, no one noticed a figure in black hiding in the dark alley.
Not long after, beams of light came from all directions and landed around the river pond. The one wearing a black and red robe was the deputy chief of the Ying clan - Ying Chen.
Ying Chen looked down at the crowd. Several elders wearing blood-red robes appeared. They all had white hair and white beards. They looked very old and had a hunched back. They looked like historians who were focusing on studying ancient history.
"Deputy Chief! This altar has been recorded in history books."
The historian only spoke half of what he said. He looked at the crowd of people around him, as if he was signaling something.
Ying Chen raised his hand and said directly: "There is no need to be afraid of anything, just say it."
The historian paused and then said:
"The soaring black fire is a secret treasure. According to records, this treasure was obtained by the Emperor of Heaven during the war with the alien race! However, with the disappearance of the Emperor of Heaven, this secret treasure, like other secret treasures, also lost its whereabouts.
Now that the secret treasure has been released again, we must not miss it!"
"The relics of the Emperor of Heaven..." Ying Chen narrowed his eyes slightly and looked a little solemn. The bloodline of their Ying clan originated from the Emperor of Heaven. In other words, they are all the descendants of the Emperor of Heaven. As for the relics of their ancestors,
Naturally, you will pay more attention to it.
"Sir, these visions indicate that the secret treasure has been revealed. Do you want me to send someone to find it for you?" The person who spoke was Ying Shan.
Ying Chen stroked his long beard and squinted his eyes. He didn't know what he was thinking. After a long time, he said: "The Emperor of Heaven left a secret treasure in the world. Such a huge vision cannot be hidden, let alone the secret treasure."
The whereabouts at this time are unknown..."
After thinking for a moment, Ying Chen ordered everyone except Ying Shan to return home and wait for orders.
"Sir, what are we doing..." Yingshan asked in confusion.
"Go to the main hall to meet the patriarch."
As soon as the two of them walked away, the figure in black pressed the hood on his head, and then disappeared into the alley...
…………
As soon as Yingchen and Chen arrived outside the main hall door, they saw a commander-level guard waiting for them quietly.
"Master Yingchen, please come in. All the clan leaders have been waiting for a long time." After saying this, the main door of the main hall was opened.
After hearing this, Ying Chen calmed down and stepped inside. The main hall was brightly lit, and there were a few vague figures walking back and forth. He slowly let go of the worries in his heart, and did not choose to snatch the secret treasure directly.
The best decision he made.
…………
Early the next morning, everyone got up early. As soon as they went out, they saw a group of people huddled under a notice, discussing something intensely.
"Hey~ah~, hey, shopkeeper, what happened over there? Why are there so many people?" Yi Xifeng asked while holding a bowl of noodles.
"It's a notice posted on the patriarch's house."
"Notice? What notice?" Yi Xifeng asked curiously.
"It is said that a secret treasure was born in the south of the city last night."
"Secret treasure?!" Yi Xifeng quickly took two mouthfuls of noodles, put down the bowl and chopsticks, and forced his way into the crowd with his strong body.
It had been almost a month since he came to the Blood Spirit Jade. During this period, except for the physical breakthrough to the Windbreaker, he had gained almost nothing. He finally grabbed a piece of Blood Spirit Jade, but it turned out to be of no use. He thought, if he didn't bring it,
How can I be worthy of what I have experienced if I take away something useful?
After squeezing under the notice, I looked up and saw it read:
"This treasure appeared in the world last night. After observing its vision, I judged that it was left behind by the Emperor of Heaven. Today, I will issue an announcement. The person who obtains the secret treasure will be appointed as the great commander. Everyone in the city can participate. The cultivation level is limited to the realm of breaking the void.
and below, those above the realm are not allowed to participate, and those who violate it will be beheaded!"
After reading it, Yi Xifeng silently withdrew from the crowd. For a moment, many thoughts came to his mind.
…………
"Relics of Emperor Yuanshi?!" Everyone exclaimed, knowing that this secret realm was probably created by this person. If his secret treasure were born, its power would be...
"Why would the winner let go of such a treasure instead of keeping it for himself?"
Li Chengtao's words awakened everyone.
"Is there some fraud in this?" Medicine Master Miao asked.
Yi Xifeng shook his head and retorted: "It doesn't look like there is fraud. Besides, even if there is fraud, who are they cheating on? We just are not the winner's opponents at all. If they want to deal with us, they need to cheat."
?"
After hearing this, Ye Jingshu said: "Well, what Junior Brother Yi said is absolutely true."
Pharmacist Miao's face suddenly turned ugly.
"The winner is not a piece of iron. It may be an internal dispute within their family. The so-called 'anyone in the city can participate' mentioned on the notice was probably written by the clan leader in order to mediate the conflicts between the various forces.
." Yi Xifeng said after thinking for a moment.
Li Chengtao nodded and continued: "This notice seems fair and impartial, but most of the people in the city are only Shadow-breaking warriors, and there are only a few who are in the Breaking Wind realm. Are they the winners' opponents?"
"Then do we still want to participate?" Pharmacist Miao asked.
"What are you thinking about? You must participate." Yi Xifeng said firmly.
"If you participate, you will have a head-on conflict with the winner." Medicine Master Miao said solemnly.
"Haha, the blood mist will drift over in a few days. If you don't grab it now, you will still be dead by then."
Miao Pharmacist felt dissatisfied when he saw that he was refuted, and then asked: "What will happen if I rob him?"
Yi Xifeng said "tsk tsk" twice, staring at Medicine Master Miao like a "primary school student", and thought to himself: With this IQ, can he still become a true disciple? I'm afraid there is some back door.
"How to exchange the secret treasure for the secret realm."
Pharmacist Miao could not refute.
…………
Inside the city, in a spacious courtyard.
Zhou Yang, the divine son of the divine sect, sat on a chair with intricate carvings, leaning on the backrest leisurely. Around him, there were several disciples of the divine sect, who seemed to be waiting for someone.
There were two letters in his hand, one was the deed of the house in this yard, and the other was a letter from his enemy, but the letter was turned upside down on the table, and no one else knew what was written in the letter.
At this time, an old man in black robe came from outside the door.
"Have everything been arranged?"
"Your Majesty, Son of God, everything has been arranged. I believe we will be able to find out in a few days." The old man in black robe paused and then said:
"Lord Son of God, the blood mist will engulf this city in five days at most. What should we do then?"
Zhou Yang picked up the tea cup and took a few sips before saying, "I heard that a secret treasure was born last night."
…………
At the same time, there was an inn ten miles away from the inn where Yi Xifeng was staying.
Wang Yuan'e, the senior sister of Luo Yunzong, is discussing something with Liu Baiyuan and Ouyang Huanxi.
"Recently, notices have been posted everywhere in the city, and everyone in the world can snatch the secret treasure." Elder Liu Baiyuan said excitedly to Ouyang Huanxi.
"Maybe this is a good opportunity! We have stayed in the secret realm for too long. The secret realm is full of dangers. We still have to leave as soon as possible. If we can get the secret treasure, we can negotiate terms with the winner and get a way out." Liu
White Ape also became excited. "Then we must find a way to win the secret treasure in the next two days!"
Wang Yuange on the side listened to the conversation between the two and nodded lightly.
…………
Late at night, Yi Xifeng was drinking on the roof of the inn, holding a sapphire drunkard gourd.
He hasn't made wine for a long time, and he drinks less.
I used to drink alcohol in order to practice the Jue Qi Control Technique. At that time, I relied on the powerful spirit that I had traveled through time to resist the negative effects of the Liquor Qi Control Technique. At the age of five, I had unblocked the meridians all over my body. This shocked Coach Li Chengqian.
So just like a little drunkard in the village, you can always bring a wine gourd to drink.
After a sip of wine, you don't have to use your internal energy to save yourself. Let your body absorb the alcohol as much as possible, and then your mind will be a little confused. If you are a little confused, your mind won't think so much.
"You still love drinking so much."
"Wine is a good thing. I still remember what a senior once said, there is nothing good in the world, only wine is good." Yi Xifeng knew who was coming without turning around.
"What happened last night..."
"Stop, if you come for a drink, I welcome you. If you come for a heart-to-heart talk, that's no need." Yi Xifeng said categorically before Zhao Long could finish his words.
Zhao Long paused and said, "Buddhism has strict rules, and Buddhist disciples are not allowed to drink alcohol."
