Chapter 60: Chess Pieces
In the Taihua Imperial Palace, Shangguan Hongyi drank the best spiritual tea in the demon world, smelling the rich and fragrant tea, her mood became much better, and the corners of her mouth hung up with a twisted arc.
Taihua Guoshi looked at Shangguan Hongyi, who had a light face, frowned, and said, "Master, your injury, are you okay? Who the hell injured you like this, tell me, Xiao Wu helped you kill him!"
"It's okay, it doesn't matter, Xiao Wu, everything has passed, don't ask. Shangguan Hongyi put down the teacup in his hand and shook his head and said.
"You and I have known each other for so many years, such a big thing has happened, you still hide it from me, what do you think of me?" Taihua Guoshi said angrily, "I know that those nine assassins tonight are not your opponents at all, your injuries are old injuries at a glance, and the years are not short, at least a thousand years, this time forcibly urging the heaven-shaking drum, it led to the recurrence of the old injuries, fortunately I found it in time, otherwise the consequences would be unimaginable." ”
The teacup in Shangguan Hongyiyu's hand stopped in mid-air, frowned slightly, and sighed: "It's not that I don't want to tell you, but this matter is too involved, and if you know too much, you may be killed." ”
Taihua Guoshi sneered, a fine light burst out in his eyes, and he said arrogantly: "So this is the reason for you to abdicate and make way for Xian?" Haha, then you underestimate me too much, ten thousand years have passed, and I am not the same person I used to be, although the demon world is Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon, and there are countless strong people, but in this era when there are no gods and ancestors do not come out, under the whole world, who can take my life except you!"
"That's right, the Taihua National Division can defeat the million-strong army of the Taihua National Division, I really underestimate you, I actually follow the example of the Terran saints to open up the path of sages, and continue to follow the path of the group of madmen in the early stage of the Great Chaos Era, your growth is far greater than I imagined, but it is not enough!" Shangguan Hongyi mocked.
"Isn't it enough, isn't it enough? There are not many monsters in the demon world that can make you so jealous, and there are even fewer monsters that can hurt you a thousand years ago, a thousand years ago, the Battle of Chiyan Ridge a thousand years ago?"
Just now, he thought of one thing, a thousand years ago, there was an earth-shattering battle in the Chiyan Mountains on the outskirts of Taihua Kingdom, which shook the entire demon world.
It's a pity that at that time, he was not in Taihua because he was out of business, and when he came back, he was shocked to hear the news of the war, and then faced the disappearance of Shangguan Hongyi, his whole mind was on finding the whereabouts of Shangguan Hongyi, and he also suspected that Shangguan Hongyi was related to the war thousands of years ago.
After that, he deliberately went to the area of Chiyan Ridge to survey the battlefield ruins, but the scene seemed to have been carefully cleaned by someone, except for the corpse of the unrecognizable headless divine beast descendant and the devastated thousands of miles of terracotta, there was no breath left, and he also broke the possibility of this conjecture.
Shangguan Hongyi's eyes rolled around, and he sighed and said: "Since you guessed it by your blind cat and the dead mouse, I might as well say it clearly, you guessed right, the battle of Chiyanling thousands of years ago is indeed related to me." ”
Taihua Guoshi was secretly overjoyed, unexpectedly, an unexpected guess was only one step away from the truth.
Shangguan Hongyi knew what Taihua Guoshi wanted to ask, and continued bluntly: "But I don't know the identity of the other party, you may want to ask? Then why did the other party find me desperately? The source of the whole thing is about to be deduced to the mystery of the death of the Nameless Array Venerable, one of the top ten unsolved cases in the demon world." ”
"How your injuries have anything to do with the death of the Nameless Array Venerable, I don't understand it. Taihua asked suspiciously.
As we all know, the Nameless Array Venerable is the founder of the bloodline awakening array 10,000 years ago, or the founder of the Array Master Guild, his contribution to the demon world can be described as immeasurable, even in the chaotic times in the late chaos era, he was also admired and respected by all beings in the demon world, but his accidental death has become a mystery, a mystery that can never be solved, his death is a permanent mourning and grief for the demon world, and the outside world has different opinions about the death of the Nameless Array; Rumors are flying all over the place, but there is no accurate answer.
Ten thousand years ago, he had followed Shangguan Hongyi and was fortunate enough to meet the greatest and most legendary monster ten thousand years ago, and he suddenly remembered that Shangguan Hongyi seemed to have a great friendship with the Nameless Array Venerable! Could it be ......
"What do you think? Nameless Array Venerable is a friend of King Lone, he came to me a month before he died, as if he knew that his life was short, and asked King Gu to help him protect something, it seems to be ...... A bronze key, he also warned the lonely king that this bronze key must not be lost, and don't tell anyone about it, otherwise there will be a catastrophe, after speaking, he left with a melancholy face, and then the lonely king has been putting it in the treasury of Taihua country, but unfortunately it was stolen by the world's first thief who killed a thousand knives five thousand years ago, until a mysterious old man came to Taihua to ask the lonely king to ask for this bronze key, of course I said no, the old man did not believe it...... You probably know what happened next. Shangguan Hongyi recalled.
"What do you mean is that the bronze key is the fault, and then you resolutely left your people behind and endured everything alone in order not to affect the Taihua Kingdom, right?"
Shangguan Hongyi lowered her eyebrows, her expression was in a trance, as if she remembered that she had resolutely left Taihua Kingdom, leaving behind her foundation, friends and a group of loyal and courageous subordinates, she was really reluctant at that time, only she knew that it was not easy for her to win the battle of Chiyanling, even if she finally used her natal power to kill the other party in one fell swoop, but the other party's dying blow also caused her to be seriously injured, causing the injury to last for thousands of years.
"Then what do you want to come back this time?" asked the Taihua National Master in surprise.
"In the past thousand years, I have been plagued by demons, and my heart has been entangled by the thing entrusted to me by the Nameless Array Venerable, the Lone King has escaped for a thousand years, and the Lone King has had enough, in addition to relieving the demons when I come back this time, I also want to know the news of the mysterious organization, and the Lone King will personally avenge the revenge of the demons in this thousand years. Shangguan Hongyi said hatefully, her body was full of murderous energy, a monstrous anger jumped up and down in her heart, a black evil aura flashed in her jade pupils, and the momentum of the whole person became evil, as if an evil god was about to be born.
"So, is your chess piece the one who accompanied you to the Demon Realm this time?" asked the Taihua National Master.
"Yes and no, he is one of the most critical chess pieces, without him, the whole game of chess would be scattered!" Shangguan Hongyi said with a dumb riddle.
"What's the use of a half-demon with a low cultivation, even if he becomes a chess piece?" said Taihua Guoshi again.
Shangguan Hongyi smiled, got up and put down the teacup, beckoned and said, "Of course the protagonist of my chessboard is not him, he is a supporting role at most, you come with me!"
Taihua Guoshi was puzzled in his heart, but he couldn't help but be curious, and after thinking about it again and again, he still kept up with the pace of Shangguan Hongyi, bypassed the road with nine bends and eighteen bends, passed through luxurious and extravagant palaces, and walked for ten minutes, and in front of a large hall called Zhaohua Palace, Shangguan Hongyi finally stopped.
Push open the door of Zhaohua Palace, the decoration in the hall is particularly luxurious and magnificent, all kinds of ornaments, ornaments are everything, a big bed in the center of the hall is lying an ordinary young man is sleeping peacefully, if Wu Xiang is here, he will find that it is his relatives who want to wake up, his cousin, Liu Chuan.
"Terran, human!" exclaimed the Taihua National Master.
Shangguan Hongyi glanced at the Taihua National Teacher, and said with a smile: "You use your aura to attack him!"
Taihua Guoshi was puzzled, he didn't know what kind of medicine was sold in Shangguan's red-clothed gourd, but he had to do it, raised his finger and pointed at Liu Chuan on the bed, and a faint red aura quickly popped out from his fingertips.
Oh!
Suddenly, a shocking dragon roar sounded, and the five-clawed golden dragon phantom that had been short-lived suddenly appeared, flying out of Liu Chuan's body, flying and hovering on the surface of Liu Chuan's body, and taking off the aura attack of the Taihua National Teacher.
"Dragon Clan's Five-Clawed Golden Dragon Bloodline!" Taihua Guoshi was shocked, "Didn't the Five-Clawed Golden Dragon disappear from the Demon Realm after the end of the Age of the Gods?
"I don't know!" Shangguan replied honestly.
"Is this your pawn, indeed...... Extraordinary!......" Taihua National Master suddenly turned around and faced out of the door, frowning.
"What's wrong?" Shangguan Hongyi asked.
"There seems to be an accident outside the West Gate...... "Taihua Guoshi said in a long tone.
