Ancestral Star, Phantom Palace.

"Chenruo, my father has something to look for you. ”

Zi Bingyuan stood at the door and hesitated for a long time, but finally knocked lightly on the wooden door.

With a "squeak", the portal opened on its own as if pulled by an invisible hand. Zi Bingyuan couldn't help but be a little stunned, he had come several times in the past few months, but he had repeatedly eaten the closed door, but he didn't expect that Zichen Ruo was willing to let him into the house today.

"If it's just a message, any person can do it, and you shouldn't bother the eldest brother to drive there in person, right?" Zichenruo stood up, his eyes clear and quiet.

Zi Bingyuan was silent for a while, then diverted the topic and said, "Chenruo, you haven't seen anyone these days, and cultivating alone in this quiet room is just to consolidate the realm?"

"Big brother, you are still the same as before, you don't allow me to retreat in the slightest, and you have to ask for an answer. A hint of anger flashed in Zi Chenruo's eyes, but he quickly regained his composure.

Zi Bingyuan stared at her without blinking, and said in a deep voice: "Because you are already in the True Soul Realm, I don't want to be wary of you changing your mind at the most critical moment of the battle." ”

Zichenruo lowered his eyelids slightly, walked out of the door past him, and said lightly: "There are some things that I have chosen to forget, please don't let me think of them again, okay? I'm already tired." ”

Zi Bingyuan opened his mouth, followed her in a few steps, and said a little anxiously: "It's not that my brother has to force you, it's not that we have to make things so stiff, it's mainly related to the fortune of the clan, and the future of my entire phantom clan, how can you tolerate the slightest carelessness? Besides, little sister, you ...... before."

"That's it, I don't want to argue anymore. Zichenruo tidied up his sleeves, and his steps became faster and faster.

Zi Bingyuan also seemed to be a little annoyed: "But this matter must be made clear after all! Otherwise, neither you nor me, nor my father, will ever be able to untie this knot." ”

Zichen Ruo looked at him calmly: "Isn't what I said clear enough?"

Zi Bingyuan paused slightly, and then heard Zi Chenruo immediately say: "You never wanted to hear what I said, but let me obey your instructions and your plan unconditionally, and it is best for me to kill him with my own hands, right?"

"That's not what I meant!" Zi Bingyuan said angrily: "Little sister, why are you becoming more and more unreasonable when you come out of the Senluo Domain?"

Zichenruo said lightly: "Yes, of course I am quite unreasonable, because the reason is on your side, and I will never be reasonable." The slightest mistake was that a big hat was buttoned down in vain, as if I had been a sinner from the beginning. ”

Zi Bingyuan said anxiously and angrily: "No one said that you are a sinner! But little sister, think about what you have done, when you let Yu Ling go, we endured it, and you went to take care of his remnants of the old department, and I also endured it, but you had to take an inch, and you actually rescued those two Yuanling clansmen! Now that you have ascended to the True Dao Realm, and you do not participate in our clan's battle plan for the northern realm, do you still look like a spirit girl!"

Zi Chenruo said coldly: "Yes, if I weren't for Her Highness the Spirit Maiden, why would I endure loneliness and hardship at the age of twelve, wandering alone in the vast Seventeen Domains, just to unlock those sealing nodes one by one." Even when I was in the Ming Domain, if Yu Ling wanted to stop me, I would have died a long time ago, and I am afraid that you are still in this underground today, and you still have the leisure to stand here and accuse me?"

Her eyes that had always been gentle and peaceful were also dyed a little cold, and the soul power aura of the True Dao Realm was hidden, which made Zi Bingyuan feel suffocated for a while.

Zichen Ruo didn't give him a chance to refute, and directly turned his head and turned through a corridor and came to the front of Wanxiang Palace.

At this time, Zi Bingyuan finally caught up and hurriedly called: "Little sister!"

Zichen turned a deaf ear, she didn't want to quarrel with her relatives in vain, and she didn't want to talk in vain, because no one would back down on this matter, it was a dead knot.

Seeing her like this, Zi Bingyuan could only sigh: "Forget it, let's see my father later." ”

The two of them climbed the stairs together, and when they reached the last step, the gate of the Wanxiang Palace automatically and slowly opened, only to see the Phantom Spirit Emperor with his back to them, looking up at a vast star map, I don't know what his expression was.

"Chenruo, Bingyuan, come here. "The Phantom Spirit Emperor didn't look back to the tunnel.

"I've seen my father, what about my second brother?" Zi Bingyuan walked to his father's side, and Zi Chenruo was silent.

"He's already on a mission. The Phantom Spirit Emperor's finger swiped lightly across the star map and landed on a spot, "What happened to the Rannible Bridge now?"

"Still under the control of our clan, the warriors of the northern realm are only watching the other side of the Chaoya Bridge, but they have not made any offensive moves for the time being, and according to the intelligence of all parties, they have not made corresponding plans. Zi Bingyuan said.

"Don't you think the North is too quiet? The Phantom Spirit Emperor frowned slightly.

"Erchen can understand his father's caution, but the martial artist has no way to resist mind control, plus Du Yichen has been missing, and there is a lack of a leading figure, they may also want to resist, but they have more than enough strength to resist. After all, in the battle of Taiye Xingyuan, there were only three or four out of ten masters left in the northern realm, and Huayun Valley was robbed in vain, and now it is under our control. ”

"I didn't think much about it, but according to the latest news that came back, Yun Cheng, the main body of the Western Alliance, is Yuling, this matter is beyond doubt, the ancestral star cultivators have gathered in the Hundred Gu Stars, and it is estimated that they are discussing how to deal with our clan. A sneer appeared on the corner of the Phantom Spirit Emperor's lips.

Zi Bingyuan glanced at Zi Chenruo, and saw that she just pursed her lips slightly, and did not react too much, so he said: "I believe that my father has made arrangements, and a group of lost dogs, what big things can be done when they are gathered together? ”

"The Baigu Star side will follow the plan, and the garrison of the Chaoya Bridge will also be strengthened, although the full-scale attack is about to begin, but this strategic place must not be lost, I always feel that there is something hidden in the north, such as Yuling's father, the master of the north gate of the Jiuchen Gate, with the strength of his peak of the immortal realm, there is no master in the clan to fight against it at present, so you must pay attention to his every move. "Phantom Spirit Emperor Dao.

Zi Bingyuan thought for a while and said: "To be honest, Erchen feels that the identity of this North Gate Lord is very problematic, he should also be a talent of the Ming Yu family, why does Yu Ling dare to expose his identity recklessly, Bei Xuan, as the strongest person in the North Realm, still has to be incognito?"

"The only thing he is afraid of is the people of the Daoyu Galaxy. The Phantom Spirit Emperor muttered.

"So we might as well ......," Zi Bingyuan said tentatively.

"No, I can't. The Phantom Spirit Emperor shook his head, "Our ultimate enemy is the Daoyu Galaxy after all, betraying him is a short-sighted act, or to leave a way back for the future." ”

"Does my father want to ......" Zi Bingyuan's eyes widened in astonishment, and he said in disbelief: "But they won't back down, if they don't expand externally to obtain more resources, our clan will be unsustainable!"

"It's just two hands to prepare, this battle is inevitable, and when our clan wins, we will grasp the initiative in negotiations. The Phantom Spirit Emperor said lightly.

Zi Bingyuan frowned deeply: "Father, I know that I can't underestimate the heroes of the world, but the rise of my clan will only get faster and faster, sooner or later we will be able to occupy the entire Boundless, why is there any need to negotiate with that group of ants like mortals?"

"What if the other person is not mortal? I think it's necessary to revisit certain issues. The Phantom Spirit Emperor waved his hand, "You go down first, I'll give you a task later, and now I have to talk to Chenruo." ”

"This ...... The retainers retired. Zi Bingyuan had no choice but to give a salute and turn to leave.

When he was far away, the heavy door of the hall creaked shut again, and the Phantom Spirit Emperor sat down a little tiredly, and raised his hand to signal, "Chenruo, you can sit too." ”

Zichenruo sat quietly across from him, still not speaking.

After a moment of silence, the Phantom Spirit Emperor suddenly asked, "Chenruo, do you hate your father?"

Zichenruo shook his head.

"You really don't hate?"

"I forgot all the bad things in the past. Zichen Ruodao.

"But I didn't forget. The Phantom Spirit Emperor said.

A thick bitterness appeared on his face: "I only have one daughter of yours, if there is any possibility, I don't want you to suffer so much, maybe back then, I shouldn't have let you go to the Seventeen Domains alone." ”

Zichen Ruo said calmly: "I think it's very good, if it weren't for that, I wouldn't have met so many trusted companions, let alone have the opportunity to meet him." ”

The Phantom Spirit Emperor's cheeks twitched, but he didn't jump like thunder, and instead asked, "If Yun Cheng is Yuling, then did he go to the Senluo Domain to find you last time?"

"Hmm. ”

"What did he tell you?"

"Didn't say anything. Zichen Ruo saw that the Phantom Spirit Emperor didn't believe it, and added: "What can you say in such a short time? It's not enough to talk about the experience of the past few years." ”

The Phantom Spirit Emperor smiled bitterly, hearing his daughter's hidden dissatisfaction.

"I wanted to make you forget about him, but I didn't expect you to remember him even more firmly......," the Phantom Spirit Emperor sighed.

"I just don't understand why he has to force him to the opposite side of us, even though he has nothing to do with the Yuanling people of the Daoyu Galaxy. Zichen Ruodao.

"The five spirit clans, unless it is a special case, never intermarry, not to mention that the Yuanling clan is our enemy, even if he cares about you very much, how can he leave his mother and clansmen? As long as he returns to the Yuanling clan, within three years, he will become the great enemy of our clan. The Phantom Spirit Emperor said in a deep voice.

Zichenruo suddenly got a little tired, and said lightly: "You called me here, is that what you mean?"

The Phantom Spirit Emperor softened his tone and said: "Chenruo, it's not that I don't think about you, I also hope that you can get your own happiness, so there are some things that I have been thinking about, I have been thinking about, and I am finally about to figure it out." ”

Zichenruo was shocked in his heart and looked up at him.

"I need to verify a very important guess. The Phantom Spirit Emperor also looked at her, "Last time, his sister Bei Ran seemed to have some kind of strange illness, and it took a lot of effort to suppress her, that kind of domineering power...... It feels a little familiar. Recently, one of the main reasons why the Dao Spirit Clan and the Dao Spirit Clan let our clan go alone is that they want to borrow our hands to find out the hidden remnants of the Xuanling Clan, and these two things are connected ......."

Zichen probably understood what he wanted to express, and a hint of surprise flashed in his eyes.

"According to what Long Chenyu and Ignorance said, Yu Ling, who cultivated in the Blood Condensation Realm, was extremely powerful and powerful. What's more critical is that when Yuan'er used purple annihilation to disperse before, his reaction was restrained at first, but then he suddenly returned to normal, and he and Yuan'er were tied in that situation. This incident is enough to explain some problems, although I don't know how Yuling is compatible with the two bloodlines. "Phantom Spirit Emperor Dao.

"I didn't pay attention to this when I was with him, and you don't have to ask me. Zichenruo shook his head.

"I just need you to make sure, their family...... Is it the Xuanling Clan?" The Phantom Spirit Emperor said word by word.

Zichen Ruo was silent for a long time: "And then?"

"If not, you don't blame your father for being ruthless, you are the spirit daughter of my clan after all, how can you marry a member of the Yuanling clan? ”

The Phantom Spirit Emperor paused, and then said, "If it is...... Then ask them if they are willing to form an alliance with our clan as the main clan and deal with the Dao Ling clan together. After all, even if the Xuanling Clan still survives, it will not be as grand as it was back then, and I can make concessions and let them help our clan occupy the western, southern, and eastern borders, and the northern realm will be left to them. On the Ancestral Star side, I can also allow those cultivators to come back, but they must accept the jurisdiction of my clan. ”

Zichen suddenly smiled, with a slight sneer.

It had been a long time since a smile appeared on her face, and just when the Phantom Spirit Emperor thought that he had finally reached a reconciliation with his daughter, Zi Chenruo said calmly: "You still don't understand him, and you don't understand his current background and strength, your so-called concession is not a compromise at all in his opinion." If you really want to reach an alliance, your father had better think about it, otherwise if this is the condition...... When the northern army arrives in the city in the future, it will be too late to regret it. ”
