Bai Ran was slightly startled when he heard this man's voice, and felt a little surprised in his heart.
Then the water below rippled, and after a flash of white light, a monk slowly flew out from inside.
This man was wearing Xing Gong's white clothes, with black hair reaching his shoulders, and an emerald green jade headband around his forehead. He looked at Bai Ran calmly.
But when Bai Ran saw this person's face clearly, he showed a look of astonishment.
This person's face was like white jade, with black eyebrows on the temples, phoenix eyes and a slender nose, and red and delicate lips. He was actually an extremely beautiful person. But what made Bai Ran incredible was that he could not tell whether this person was a boy or a girl.
It is said that the other person is a woman, but this person has a lazy smile at the corner of his mouth, and his movements are full of chicness. He is said to be a man, but his face is really beautiful and pretty, and there is a hint of charm between his eyebrows.
, absolutely fatally attractive to men.
"I don't know your friend's surname. I am enforcing the foreign affairs law in Xiaxing Palace, Ling Yuling. Thank you for helping me, fellow Taoist!"
This person's voice was pleasant to the ear, but it was neutral. This made Bai Ran frown slightly and kept muttering secretly.
This person reminded Bai Ran of Tian Buque from the Hehuan Sect of the Tiannan Demonic Path.
But upon closer inspection, the two seem to be completely different.
Although Tian Wuque was also extremely beautiful, his actions and sounds made it obvious that he was a man at a glance.
The guy opposite who calls himself Ling Yuling, although his movements are all male, there is an indescribable aura of makeup hidden in him. Moreover, his voice is low and full of magnetism, making it really difficult to distinguish between male and female.
"I'm Bai Ran. It was just a simple effort. If the other party didn't insist on forcing me, Bai would not be so cruel." Although Bai Ran was surprised in his heart, he said without revealing it on his face.
"No matter what, Ling is still very grateful to fellow Taoist." Ling Yuling smiled sweetly, and a hint of amorous feelings leaked out inadvertently.
Bai Ran looked at it but felt a chill in his heart. Since he didn't know whether the other person was a boy or a girl, he could only turn a blind eye to this person's beauty.
"Fellow Taoist is in such a hurry, do you want to go to Tianxing City? There should be martial law there now, making it difficult to enter. If you don't mind, Ling is willing to take you into the city to report your kindness in rescuing us."
Ling Yuling put away her smile, turned her eyes, and immediately said seriously.
Bai Ran was a little surprised when the other party said these words.
But then he thought about it and asked this person to take him into the city. This was the main reason why he killed the two monks from the Counter Star Alliance.
Only in this way can it be shown that he has nothing to do with the Counter Star Alliance.
Now that the other party has taken the initiative, he naturally will not refuse such a good thing, so he slowly replied with a movement on his face:
"Bai's cave is located in Tianxing City. He is rushing back in such a hurry to go back to his home. If it is really impossible to enter the city, then fellow Taoist Lao Ling will have to worry about it."
"It's easy to say. If fellow Taoists can kill those two people without hesitation, they are naturally qualified to enter the city without any proof. Our star palace welcomes them extremely! But the monks who are chasing after them this time are not just the two of them, there are also
There are a few other people with strong magic power. Let’s leave this place quickly.” After hearing what Bai Ran said, Ling Yuling immediately said with a smile, her eyes flowing for a moment, her bright eyes looking forward.
Bai Ran didn't say anything this time, and nodded slightly. The two of them turned into two rays of green and white light, and flew away in the direction of Tianxing City.
On the way, Bai Ran observed the other party carefully with some curiosity.
Ling Yuling's white shirt was a bit loose, but looking from the outside, he couldn't see any male or female characteristics. However, after he paid careful attention, he still found that there was no Adam's apple in this position.
But based on this alone, he cannot be sure that the other party is a woman. Because as far as he knows, there are some weird exercises that have the miraculous effect of reversing yin and yang and changing some characteristics of men and women. Could this person be practicing such exercises?
Bai Ran thought a little strangely in his heart.
Seemingly noticing Bai Ran's attention, this extremely beautiful person gave Bai Ran a charming smile, which made Bai Ran feel embarrassed for a while and looked back.
"My fellow Taoist possesses two ancient treasures, and he seems to be a very blessed person. I don't know where the copper ring ancient treasure came from. I have been lucky enough to see several other ancient treasures, but I have never seen such magical powers.
." Ling Yuling mentioned Bai Ran's ancient treasure intentionally or unintentionally while moving forward.
"It's nothing, it's just that I have more opportunities than ordinary people." Naturally, Bai Ran wouldn't tell the truth, so he vaguely passed on without changing his expression.
"Haha, but fellow Taoist one person can kill two monks of the same level, which is really extraordinary. I wonder if fellow Taoist Bai is interested in joining our star palace. I can recommend you to join." Ling Yuling saw that Bai Ran didn't want to answer this matter.
, he chuckled not forcefully, and then the topic changed and the matter of solicitation was brought up.
Bai Ran, who was hiding in the light, couldn't help but frown when he heard this.
This Ling Yuling doesn't seem to be easy to deal with! Before he even took him into the city, he started to give him problems all at once.
The monks who join Xing Gong now have not all become cannon fodder for Xing Gong. He means that he will not tie himself up in any way.
So after thinking about it, Bai Ran coughed lightly and considered:
"Although I have longed for your palace for a long time, the Miaoyin Sect has been very kind to me. Bai is the elder of the Miaoyin Sect. I am afraid it has been inconvenient in recent years. I am really sorry!" Bai Ran was not polite.
The Miaoyin Gate was used as a shield again.
"It's okay. Ling admires Bai Ran for being so loyal to people. But our star palace welcomes people like Taoist friends to join us at any time." Ling Yuling in the white light saw Bai Ran politely rejecting the offer, and did not show any dissatisfaction.
Instead, he smiled faintly and started chatting with Bai Ran about some anecdotes about the Chaotic Star Sea. Later, he was very sensible and stopped mentioning the Star Palace and the Counter Star Alliance.
The other party changed so quickly, Bai Ran was naturally happy and could handle it easily.
The two of them flew forward while chatting in an ordinary way.
...One day later, the two of them saw the huge Tianxing City from a distance, and they couldn't help showing a bit of joy on their faces.
But before the two of them approached the giant island, a group of monks, four men and one woman, flew in from nowhere.
The leader, a middle-aged monk with a sallow complexion, was at the early stage of pill formation, and the rest were at the foundation stage.
"See Protector Ling!" The four men and women in the foundation-building stage obviously recognized Ling Yuling, and bowed respectfully as soon as they flew up to him.
It seems that this man is indifferent to men and women, and his reputation in the star palace is not small.
The yellow-faced monk also asked with a bit of surprise:
"Junior Brother Ling, are you okay? As soon as Senior Brother received the news about the attack on Nanming Island, he was really worried. Hey! Who is this fellow Taoist?"
The yellow-faced monk turned his eyes and looked around Bai Ran a few times suspiciously.
"I was chased by two Counter Star Alliance monks on the road. Thanks to Fellow Daoist Bai, he came to the rescue. Fellow Daoist Bai's cave is located in Tianxing City, so I took him back to the city with me. Let this Fellow Daoist enter the city.
"Is there any problem?" Ling Yuling said calmly.
I don't know whether it was due to fatigue from the journey or internal injuries, but his face was a bit paler than when he first met Bai Ran, giving people a faint feeling of weakness.
"Since he is Junior Brother Ling's savior, of course there is no problem. Junior Brother Ling, are you injured?"
The yellow-faced monk showed an expression of extreme concern. This made Bai Ran look into his eyes and couldn't help but feel a move in his heart.
"It doesn't matter. Although I was hit by the other party's magic weapon, I have the Tianxiang Suo to protect me, so there is nothing serious." A faint blush appeared on Ling Yuling's beautiful face, but her expression became even more indifferent.
"I have a secret Heavenly Spirit Pill here. Junior Brother Ling, take it first. You will save your vitality." Upon hearing this, the yellow-faced monk seemed to be even more worried. After hesitating for a moment, he actually
He took out a small bottle from his body and handed it over diligently.
When Ling Yuling saw this scene, his face suddenly sank, as if he wanted to get angry. But then he thought of something again. He suddenly turned from anger to joy, and said with bright eyes:
"Then I would like to thank you for giving me the medicine. I have to go to the inner palace to report the incident on Nanming Island first. Fellow Taoist Bai, please help me deliver it to the city. I must treat my savior well."
." This Ling Yuling stretched out a white and slender hand, took the vial with a smile, and suddenly became extremely charming and charming, completely transformed into a woman.
"No problem. Elder Wang is on duty today and will not make things difficult for our junior brother. Just leave this fellow Daoist Bai to our senior brother." When the yellow-faced monk saw Ling Yuling speaking so softly to him, he was flattered and excited.
With an expression on his face, he assuredly patted his chest continuously.
When Bai Ran saw this scene, a strange color flashed across his face.
Is this man really an infertile girl? Otherwise, why would the yellow-faced monk look so infatuated!
Bai Ran was a little confused. "Although fellow Taoist has helped Junior Brother Ling, we still need to ask some necessary questions. These are extraordinary times, so fellow Taoist should be able to understand!" Huang's face was straight.
After looking at the direction where Ling Yuling flew and disappeared for a long time, he finally came back to his senses, looked at Bai Ran, and said calmly.
"If you have any questions, fellow Taoist, just ask." Bai Ran looked as normal and replied without hesitation.
"That's good. Let's talk about the identity of the Taoist monk first. I want to confirm whether the identity is true." The yellow-faced monk only nodded and said calmly.
Bai Ran smiled slightly when he saw this situation.
"Elder of the Miaoyin Sect, this is my belt. And this is the forbidden token of the cave in the city. I believe fellow Taoists should know the authenticity." Bai Ran reached out and touched the storage bag, and found two different tokens.
The card appeared in his hand and he handed it to the other party calmly.
"Miaoyinmen? Check to see if the elder of Miaoyinmen has this person." The yellow-faced monk took the token unceremoniously and ordered without looking back.
The rather delicate-looking female monk standing behind her was slightly startled when she heard this, but she immediately responded.
Then she rummaged around in her storage bag, and finally took out the jade slip and examined it with her spiritual sense. Then she stared at Bai Ran for a few more times before saying respectfully:
"Guardian Zhao, there is indeed an elder named Bai in the Miaoyin Sect, and judging from the portrait, he looks the same."
"Oh! These two tokens are also real. From this point of view, the identity is correct!" The yellow-faced monk heard this and nodded expressionlessly.
"Okay, you guys continue to patrol the area. I will take this fellow Taoist to go through the formalities for entering the city first." The yellow-faced monk threw the token back to Bai Ran and ordered.
"Yes!" the four people behind responded.
Then the yellow-faced monk stopped saying anything and waved to Bai Ran, who took the lead and flew away in the direction of Star City.
Bai Ran turned into a blue rainbow and flew out after him.
Not long after, the yellow-faced monk took Bai Ran and flew near the high wall of Tianxing City, and flew over a city gate.
Although no one else came forward to question him along the way, Bai Ran released his spiritual consciousness and took a quick look, only to find that there were at least four or five waves of hidden monks on the road. Although they were mainly foundation-building monks, there were also two
During the Mingjie Dan period, he hid in it and did not show up.
Although Bai Ran's expression remained unchanged, he couldn't help but tremble in his heart. It seemed that after the attack on Nanming Island, the security was really tight.
If it weren't for someone's recommendation and guidance, it might not be an easy task for him to sneak into Tianxing City.
This city gate seemed a bit deserted. Except for a dozen monks in white clothes, no one entered or left the city.
And after getting closer, Bai Ran discovered that the tall walls and city gates were shining with a pale white glow, as if some restrictions had been opened.
As soon as the yellow-faced monk landed, he walked towards the only old man sitting among the white-clothed monks without hesitation.
This old man has a short goatee and a face full of wrinkles. He is lying on a bamboo chair with his eyes closed and meditating.
"Protector Yu! This is Elder Bai from the Miaoyin Sect. I have checked my identity and token, and there are no problems. Now I would like to trouble you, Protector Yu, to explain the matters after entering the city. I have to continue to patrol the perimeter, so I can't stay any longer.
That's it." He hugged the old man and said, as if he respected him.
After Bai Ran's eyes turned to the old man, he felt more vigilant in his heart.
This man was actually a monk in the middle stage of alchemy. No wonder the yellow-faced monk didn't dare to offend him.
"Wonderful Sound Gate?"
The old man's eyelids twitched and he slowly opened them, as if he was still a little awake. "Yes. And this Taoist friend once helped Junior Brother Ling on the road." After hesitating for a moment, the yellow-faced monk said reluctantly.
Said one more thing.
"Oh, this is strange. I understand, Fellow Daoist Zhao, please go back." A cold light flashed in the old man's eyes, and a faint light shot out of it, but it immediately disappeared without a trace, and his voice still seemed weak and very lazy.
The yellow-faced monk didn't pay much attention to the old man's appearance. After clasping his fists, he ignored Bai Ran and fled away.
Bai Ran stood calmly, looking at the old man without saying a word.
"I have met the purple spirit girl from the Miaoyin Sect a few times. She is indeed a person with seven exquisite orifices. But you, the elder of the Miaoyin Sect, I have occasionally heard her talk about twice, but unfortunately I have never had the opportunity to meet her. However, look
Fellow Taoist looks so young
, is it possible that, like fellow Taoist Ling, he has practiced some kind of technique that can keep his appearance forever? As far as I know, all such techniques are extremely feminine. There will be no benefits for men after practicing it." The old man narrowed his eyes and stared.
Bai Ran said slowly.
"So, Fellow Daoist Ling is a man? I haven't practiced any beauty-preserving skills, I just swallowed a beauty-preserving pill once." Bai Ran asked calmly and calmly.
"I am afraid that few people in our Xing Palace really know whether Fellow Daoist Ling is a boy or a girl. I don't even know. But it must be true that he has practiced Zhu Yan's technique. Haha, Fellow Daoist Bai is lucky.
Even rare pills like Dingyan Pill have the chance to be taken." The old man chuckled softly and said slowly.
Bai Ran was slightly startled after hearing this. But at this moment, the old man continued:
"Okay, let's not talk about this anymore. Since someone has verified your identity, I don't want to bother you anymore. However, because it is different from usual, the rules must be different. Fellow Taoist, listen attentively. I will only tell you once.
of."
Bai Ran raised his eyebrows, pursed his lips tightly, and said nothing.
"Right now, fellow Taoist, you have two options. One is to temporarily join our Xinggong side and be willing to help us fight against the enemy. In this case, you can still move freely in the city without any restrictions. And after each mission, our Xinggong will
Giving extremely generous rewards will definitely not let your efforts go in vain. Secondly, you are unwilling to participate in the war, and just want to be honest in the city.
It's okay to stay there. Our Star Palace will not force you fellow Taoists. However, unless there are certain specified time periods, the entire city is now under martial law at other times, and you are not allowed to leave your residence at will. Otherwise, our Star Palace's law enforcement team in the city will
But you will be shot to death. Now, Fellow Daoist Bai, you can tell me your plan." The old man's expression suddenly darkened, and the ice-cold mortal said.
A strange color flashed in Bai Ran's eyes, and he fell silent for a moment, seemingly lost in thought.
When the old man saw this, he had no intention of urging Bai Ran. But his eyes that were originally open narrowed again, and there was a hint of treachery on his face.
"I wonder if I can use the teleportation array to go to the outer star sea after entering the city." After pondering for a moment, Bai Ran finally asked in a deep voice.
"Originally, it was enough to just pay the spirit stone. But now it is not possible. If you want to go to the outer star sea, you must do something for our star palace." The old man did not show any surprise, as if he asked this question in vain.
It's an expected part of it.
"What's going on!" Bai Ran vaguely guessed in his heart, but still asked with a slight frown.
"It's very simple! In the battle that is about to begin, just complete a task for our star palace, or kill a Counter-Star Alliance monk of the same level as yourself." The old man smiled slightly and said in an understatement, with a faint hint of laughter at the corner of his mouth.
A sarcastic look.
After hearing this condition, Bai Ran smiled bitterly in his heart.
It seems that the senior officials of Star Palace intend to force these monks who want to leave. Even if they cannot be used by Star Palace, they must be stained with the blood of the Counter Star Alliance monks. On the one hand, it can weaken the strength of the Counter Star Alliance, and on the other hand, these monks will
There is no way to lean towards the Counter-Covenant.
"On the way back, Fellow Daoist Ling and I have killed monks of the same level. I wonder if this counts." Bai Ran let out a breath and asked with a straight face.
"Killed one? You and Ling Yuling?" The old man was a little moved.
"Not bad." Bai Ran nodded without hesitation.
"Unfortunately, this does not count. You must apply and kill them in public in the battle. Previously, no matter how many people were killed, it was of no use." The old man finally showed a hint of interest.
Said slowly.
"Fellow Taoist, when do you think the war will break out?" Bai Ran touched his chin and asked thoughtfully.
"It should be very soon. It probably happened in the past few days. Because these people from the Anti-Star Alliance did not capture the inner island. They just wanted to attack our Tianxing City like a surprise attack. I guess they also paid attention to the quick victory!"
The old man was a little stunned after hearing this, glanced at Bai Ran again, and immediately returned to normal.
"I'm signing up. After killing a monk of the same level as me, I'm going to teleport to the outer star sea." Bai Ran said calmly without thinking too much.
"Okay! Wear this new ring. With this ring as a certificate, you are temporarily considered a member of our star palace. When the war begins, you can use this ring to perform tasks or sign up to join the war." After the old man fumbled around on his body for a while,
He took out a shining yellow ring and handed it over calmly.
