An unquiet night passed by quickly in an unquiet atmosphere.

Yunxi learned from Xiao Madara's mouth that the palace master was not in a hurry to let them go beyond the suppressed souls, as if he was waiting for some opportunity, and it was expected that this matter would be after the election of the Holy Maiden. Yunxi specially instructed Xiao Ban that when they set off, they must come to the ward in advance, and this matter is very important.

At noon the next day, Yun Zhongtian left the Siguo Hall and returned to the small courtyard.

When his tall and handsome figure appeared in front of Yunxi, Yunxi could no longer suppress the joy in his heart, and threw himself into his arms like a child. The warm masculine breath combined with a cool fragrance rushed in, which belonged to the elder brother's breath, which was always reassuring.

Yun Zhongtian was slightly stunned, thinking that he didn't expect that he would receive such a warm welcome as soon as he went home, he hugged the person in his arms and laughed lowly.

This smile, the handsome face is as bright as the water waves, and a pair of eyes that shine like black jewels are rippling with water.

"Brother, you're back. Yunxi buried his head in his chest and said sullenly.

It feels so good to be connected by blood, snuggling in his warm arms, which is completely different from snuggling in the arms of a thousand peers, she vaguely feels that she is back in her father's arms, so warm and spacious, she can enjoy tolerance and affection unscrupulously, without any burden and response.

It's what she's been longing for, and now she finally has.

"I'm sorry, I shouldn't have left you alone. His voice was softer than water. He stroked the back of her head as if caressing a delicate goose feather.

Yunxi slowly left his embrace, carefully examined him, and made sure that he did not have any damage, she put her mind at ease, and suddenly thought of something, Yunxi frowned, and said: "Brother, I may have done something wrong, and now that you are back, I will immediately correct the mistake." ”

Yun Zhongtian saw that she was in a hurry to go out, so he called out to her: "Xi'er, where are you going?"

"Lady Mansion. Yunxi didn't stop and continued to walk out the door.

Yun Zhongtian's eyebrows frowned slightly, and he followed her closely.

"Yunxi girl, Tiangongzi, the eldest lady and the eldest aunt haven't returned to the house yet, you just take your time here, the villain retired first. After the guards led the Yunxi brothers and sisters to the main hall, they bowed and retreated.

Yun Zhongtian waved at him, and Yun Xi looked around the hall carefully, not knowing what he was thinking.

"Xi'er, I've heard about the Nine Curses, and I've also heard that the murderer has been caught, and it's the eldest lady. Now that you have come to the eldest lady's house to inspect again, do you suspect that the eldest lady is not the real murderer?"

Yunxi bowed: "Yes, although the eldest lady assassinated me, her motive for killing was too far-fetched, and the details and process of her murder were very suspicious. However, she admits that she is the murderer, which means that either she is really the murderer, or she wants to protect someone, so she is willing to sacrifice herself. ”

She sighed and said with some guilt: "Last night, in order to let my brother leave the Siguo Palace, I didn't continue to investigate, and let them escort the eldest lady away and hand her over to the palace master to dispose of. Now that you're back, brother, I have to continue to investigate and find out the truth of the facts, so that I can be worthy of my heart. ”

Yun Zhongtian looked at her with a smile and gave her an encouraging look: "Do what you want, I will help you." ”

Yunxi also smiled, and then analyzed the case carefully: "That night, all of us stayed in this room, everyone turned their backs, and only Miss Seven was here alone to touch the strange beast. Which strange beast did Miss Seven touch, it stands to reason that no one saw it at all, and then she went to the Cloud Illusion Palace, personally went to see the palace master, and informed the palace master of the strange beast she touched. There was no one else in this, and I'm sure she wouldn't have told anyone about it. The eldest lady said that it was Miss Seven who told her which strange beast she had touched, and I didn't believe it. People have the psychology of self-defense, and it is impossible for Miss Seven to tell anyone this secret without determining who the murderer is, so I have to figure out now what method the murderer used and guess which strange beast Miss Seven touched. With this figured out, it may be possible to know who the real murderer is. ”

"Xi'er, in fact, have you ever thought about what the murderer's motive was for killing? This person has killed so many people in a row, and all of them are the sons and daughters of the palace master, so what does it mean?" Yun Zhongtian muttered.

"Brother, do you want to say that the real target of this person may not be these people who were killed, but the palace master? The murderer wants to take revenge on the palace master and hit her?" Yunxi paused, "Because after the bronze statue of the Nine Evils was revealed, no one could have predicted who would touch the bronze statue, so the murderer's killing was completely random, not aimed at a certain person, the purpose was to create chaos and remove the blood of the palace master?"

Yun Zhongtian nodded heavily, not knowing what he thought, and his eyes gradually deepened.

Yunxi was also pondering, and when she turned her head by chance, an abnormal golden light jumped into her eyes again. It's a familiar feeling, by the way, when she left the main hall that night, she had seen this golden light, could it be......

Yunxi's mind flashed with inspiration, and suddenly she thought of something, she quickly moved her position and stood in the upper left corner of the center of the main hall. She remembered that night, there was a man standing in this position.

She looked left and right, and then saw a piece of porcelain placed on the left side of the main seat, the surface of which was smooth and had a mirrored effect. From her point of view, she can clearly see the scenery in the center of the hall through the surface of the porcelain. And the golden light she saw was the effect of a piece of gold on the right side of the main seat, after the mirror reflection of porcelain.

I see!

I see!

She's so stupid that she didn't even think of this.

She also pretended to be smart, thinking that if everyone turned their backs, no one would know which strange beast Miss Seven was touching, but she didn't want to create an opportunity for some people, not only to clear the suspicion, but also to see it clearly.

Yunxi suddenly had a kind of consciousness of being a head drinker.

"Brother, are you familiar with Yun Moqian, who is he?" asked Yunxi.

Yun Zhongtian's eyebrows were obviously entangled, and he slowly spoke: "Yun Moqian's origin is very mysterious, he is a descendant of my Yun clan, but he didn't grow up in the Yun clan, some people say that he may also be a descendant of the taboo clan, but because he once saved the eldest lady and the second miss, the palace master removed him from the identity of the taboo clan." Yun Moqian's body has one-half of the Yun clan's bloodline inheritance, and he is talented, the palace master takes a fancy to him, and the eldest lady also likes him, so he ordered the two of them to marry, hoping to continue the purer descendants of the Yun clan. In the Yun clan, men's status is far inferior to women's, and men's existence is to continue the bloodline, so often a man with a more pure bloodline is often unable to ...... his fate."

He thought of himself and smiled sadly bitterly, in a sense, how similar were the fates of him and Yun Moqian?

In this way, the suspicion of his murder is really great. The eldest lady suddenly came out and admitted that she was the real murderer, and it was very likely that she was taking the blame for him, because she loved him very much and didn't want him to die. If the palace master knew that he killed his three children, he would definitely not spare him, but if it was the eldest lady who killed the person, the palace master might think about the mother-daughter relationship and let her live. Yunxi analyzed.

Yun Zhongtian shook his head: "You don't know the palace master, she won't let the eldest lady live just because she is her biological daughter." The palace master has always been very purposeful in doing things, and he will do whatever it takes to achieve his goal. Do you think she is really kind and kind to our brothers and sisters? Not at all! She kept us because she wanted to get the secret record of the broken flowers on you, and because the pure blood in our body was coveted by her, so she would not kill us at will, and she would keep us for more purposes. What we have to do now is to make ourselves as strong as we can, strong enough to contend with her, before she has made up her mind to kill us......"

Yun Zhongtian's eyes suddenly lit up and shone brightly, and the blood on his body was boiling, in order to make himself stronger, he had endured it for too long, too long. Now that someone is finally walking with him, he is no longer lonely.

Yunxi's eyes narrowed, and his mood was a little complicated: "I think I already know who the murderer is, but how he created the illusion of a strange beast killing people, and how he disappeared out of thin air in front of me, I haven't figured this out yet." If you want to understand this secret, you must first unravel the secret of the Nine Evil Bronze Statues, and I believe that the reason why it is called a high-grade Taoist instrument must have something special about it. If you want to unlock the secret of the Nine Evil Bronze Statues, you have to rely on Xiaomo......"

Inside Wolongju, Xiaomo is still concentrating on refining the bronze statue.

The brother and sister had to wait silently outside, and I don't know how long it took, news came from the Cloud Illusion Palace, and the palace master personally received Yunxi.

It's finally time to face each other!

A few days after Yunxi came to Cloud City, the palace master finally wanted to see her.

When she first came, the palace master didn't meet her for the first time, thinking that she was going to give her a dismount and suppress her temperament, but now that so many things have happened, she is finally going to see her, and I don't know what kind of situation she is facing Yunxi.

"Xi'er, the palace master summoned you alone this time, you must remember to be careful. To be on the safe side, I've drawn you a route map to the main hall of the Cloud Illusion Palace, so you don't have to go wrong. In the Cloud Illusion Palace, there are many mysteries, some places that I haven't even walked to, once you go to the wrong place, you are very likely to be in danger. ”

Along the way, Yun Zhongtian did not forget to remind Yunxi that he always felt that the palace master's meeting with Yunxi this time would not be so simple.

"Thank you, brother, don't worry, I'll be careful. Yunxi glanced at the map, probably counted, and then carefully put it away.

Following the master who came to summon, Yunxi came to the legendary Cloud Illusion Hall for the first time.

When he first came to Cloud City, Yunxi once felt that Cloud City was a mirage, hanging high in the air, majestic and magnificent. However, when she came to the Cloud Illusion Palace, she felt that she was lonely and unheard, this is the real mirage, the city in the clouds!

Raise your eyes, the sea of clouds is vast and boundless.

In the middle of the clouds, there is a thick iron chain that descends vertically, hundreds of feet high, and the other end of it is submerged in the sea of clouds, making people feel that as long as they follow this iron chain, they can lead to the sky.

Seeing the surprise on Yunxi's face, the master who led the way laughed contemptuously, and then jumped up, relying on the iron chain, volleying up step by step, straight into the sky.

Yun Xi finally understood that this was the only way to reach the Cloud Illusion Palace.

Seeing the master who led the way climbing so easily, her strength was not low, but her contemptuous smile just now made her very unhappy.

The master who led the way climbed to the halfway point, and saw that there was no movement under the chain, wondering if the other party was afraid and didn't dare to come up?

Looking down, there was nothing empty under the cliff, where was there still half a figure?

"Coward!" she couldn't help but scoff.

"Who do you say is a coward?" suddenly a voice came from behind her, and it startled her.

"You, you ......" The master turned his head and saw Yunxi standing behind her silently, without touching the iron chain or with any assistance, walking on the ground as if she were on the ground, not even panting, she was stunned, and her words were incomplete.

However, the master has always seen the world, and soon regained his composure: "The entrance to the Cloud Illusion Hall is on it, don't lose it." ”

Yunxi smiled lowly, didn't say anything, and suddenly with a whoosh, the figure turned into a wisp of light smoke, and at an astonishing speed, it burrowed into the highest part of the clouds.

The master's hand holding the chain shook slightly, and he almost fell from the sky, looked up for a long time, and then spit out two words sullenly: "Perverted!"

Yunxi ignored her and took the lead to the end of the chain alone. Finally having a place to stay, she stood on the edge of the cliff, looking into the distance, and couldn't help but hold her breath.

There is a sky outside the sky, and there is a sky outside the real sky!

Above the sea of clouds, there is another sky, an endless blue sky, like an upside-down deep sea, almost pure blue. And under her feet, there is a continuous sea of clouds, accompanied by the wind, constantly swimming, as if the water is splashing.

She stood here, breathing in the aura of air, and had a feeling of overlooking the world and being the only one!

In addition to this, she also has an extremely strong sense of belonging, as if this was once the place that belonged to her, and it was not the first time she had been here, she had just come home.

A familiar feeling arose spontaneously in her heart, could it be that she had been here in her previous life in her previous life?

Just as she was feeling a lot, there were footsteps behind her, and someone surrounded her.

"Who are you, dare to trespass into the Cloud Illusion Palace?" a woman of one color surrounded her with a sword.

Yunxi didn't hesitate, and replied: "I am Yunxi, and I am a guest invited by your palace master. ”

"Are you Yunxi?" The woman led by her looked her up and down, then probed to the edge of the cliff, looked down, and soon, the master who led the way also came to the cliff and whispered a few words in the woman's ear, which proved Yunxi's identity.

"Since you are Yunxi, then go in, someone is waiting for you inside, and she will show you the way. An unknown light flashed across the woman's eyes.

Yunxi ignored her and walked towards the main entrance, her brother was really prescient and drew a road map for her in advance, if she counted on these people to lead the way, maybe she would really be taken to some unknown dangerous place.

After entering the main gate, I didn't go far when someone came up to me.

"Yunxi, don't come to harm?" The person who came was none other than Yun Zhongtian's nominal fiancée, Yun Pianpin.

Yun Pianpian smiled a little too enthusiastically: "No, I'm going to change my words soon and call your sister." When I get married to your brother, I will become your sister-in-law, and we will be a family. ”

Family, sister-in-law?

Yunxi only felt sick to his stomach.

"Sister, when I was in the Danmeng before, I was offended, so don't be surprised. At that time, the palace master had not pardoned your identity as a taboo clan, and sister-in-law, I have always hated the taboo clan, so I will be unkind to you. Okay now, the palace master has allowed you to enter the Cloud Illusion Palace, and we will be a real family in the future. Today, the palace master summoned you, sister-in-law, I took the initiative to ask to meet you and lead the way for you, you won't accept your sister-in-law's sincerity, right?"

The corners of Yunxi's mouth pulled stiffly, and he forcibly resisted the thought of vomiting, and said, "Then thank you." ”

Ya, it's really not enough to be embarrassed!

A sister-in-law claims that it's strange that her brother will marry her.

The reason why he endured her was because Yun Xi suddenly thought that Yun Pianpian had exactly one spirit bead on her body, and at this moment, Yun Xi looked at Yun Pianpian's head, as if she saw an oversized spirit bead. Only in this way can she endure the other party's disgusting words, and once the spirit bead is in her hand, she is too lazy to take care of her.

"Let's go, don't keep the palace master waiting. Yun Pianpian enthusiastically held Yunxi's arm, like a good sister, intimate.

Lingzhu!Lingzhu......

Yunxi constantly hypnotizes himself.

"Sister, it's the first time you've come to the Cloud Illusion Palace, right? Isn't the Cloud Illusion Hall beautiful?"

"Well, it's beautiful. "Lingzhu! Lingzhu!

"Let's go this way! The buildings and every road in the Cloud Illusion Hall are exquisite, and if you are not careful, you may go wrong. Sister, your first time here, you especially need someone who is familiar with the road to lead the way, otherwise it is very likely that you will get lost. Yun Pianpian led her, picked a deserted path, and walked northeast.

Yunxi's brows furrowed slightly, no, this is not the road to the main hall, and it is completely inconsistent with the road map.

Damn, sure enough, the one who came was not good and the good one did not come, she knew that Yun Pianpian would not be courteous to her for no reason, it turned out that she came prepared, and wanted to deliberately take the wrong way and frame her.

Take this opportunity to get the spirit bead on her first.

Yunxi pretended not to notice, and continued to follow her forward, walking and walking, and came to a waterhole. The waterhole is deep in greenery, and the surface of the water is covered with unknown vegetation, and among these green vegetation, there are several looming stone pillars floating in a disorderly manner.

A glint flashed in Yun Pianpian's eyes, and he suddenly stopped: "After the waterhole in front, go further on, and it will be the main hall." The palace master didn't summon me today, I can only send it here, and when you come back after seeing the palace master, I will make an appointment with you and take you around. ”

She turned around and wanted to leave, Yun Xi grabbed her hand and said with a smile: "Are you going to leave so soon?" Why don't you take me another time, I am not familiar with life, what if I get lost? If I get lost and accidentally violate the rules of the Cloud Illusion Palace, how will you explain to my brother when the time comes, after all, you will soon get married, and my brother loves me the most. ”

"I don't think I need to, right? You walk through the waterhole, and you'll be there quickly, and you won't get lost. Yun Pian tried hard to pull her hand, but Yunxi was also very hard, and she couldn't escape at all.

After a stalemate between the two sides for a moment, Yun Pianpian stopped pretending and sneered: "Let go of me! Do you know what kind of punishment you will receive if you use force in the Cloud Illusion Palace? I was kind enough to lead the way for you, but you treated me like this?"

"Are you really kind enough to lead the way? Then walk over the waterhole and prove it to me. Yunxi pushed her hard, couldn't allow her to flinch, and threw her whole body into the pool.

Yun Pian exclaimed in surprise, hurriedly found her balance, and stepped on one of the stone pillars in the waterhole, which narrowly settled. She patted her chest and glared back at Yunxi angrily: "Are you crazy? Good intentions are not rewarded! You actually treat a person who leads the way for you like this?"

"You don't need to talk nonsense, as long as you walk past here and reach the other side safely, I will believe you. Yunxi stood on the edge of the pool with his feet, blocking Yun Pianpian's retreat, clasping his hands on his chest, and just looking at her. The meaning was clear, she could either go to the other side of the pool or just wait for her to kick her into the pool, and there was no other choice.

Yun Pianpian swallowed a mouthful of saliva and began to show panic.

She knew very well in her heart that this waterhole was one of the forbidden places in the Cloud Illusion Palace, and it was rumored that there was a giant beast living in the waterhole, a 10,000-year-old water turtle. It is extremely lazy, but it is also extremely ferocious, it is lazy, so it has been staying in the pool for thousands of years, never moving the place, even the palace master is helpless against it, so he has to carve out such a pool of water that no one approaches for it to live, the two sides have nothing to do with each other; it is ferocious, but whenever someone disturbs it, it will mercilessly kill the future people, and there are countless masters of the Cloud Illusion Hall who have been poisoned by it.

The reason why she brought Yunxi here was to borrow the hand of the water turtle and kill Yunxi.

The position of saint belongs to her, but she will try to remove anyone who is qualified to compete with her for the position of saint.

But at the moment, she is reaping the consequences.

She didn't know how Yunxi noticed it, why she wasn't fooled?

No, she can't go any further, if she really disturbs the turtle, her life will be lost.

"Sister, I was wrong, this road is not the main hall at all. For the sake of our soon-to-be-becoming family, you can spare me for once. "Yun Pian's attitude changed 180 degrees.

Yunxi glanced at the waterhole, always feeling uneasy, as if there was some dangerous force hidden in it. This place is not suitable for long, and she quickly decides.

"Hand over the Flame Spirit Bead on your body, and I'll let you go!"

Yun Pianpian was slightly stunned, and then laughed out loud: "It turns out that you have already taken a fancy to the Yan Spirit Bead on my body? Hahaha, okay, I'll give it to you." ”

She took out a bead from her body, which was the Yan Spirit Bead that Yunxi had dreamed of.

Seeing the light emitted from Yun Xi's eyes, Yun Pian smiled slyly, and suddenly threw the Yan Spirit Bead into the pool of water.

"Damn it!"

Yunxi made a move, wanting to pick up the Yan Lingzhu, but unfortunately it was a step too late, and the Lingzhu fell into the pool with a thud.

Yun Pian saw that the time had come, and at the same time, she jumped up, brushed Yun Xi's side, flew onto the shore, and made a move!

"Want to run?" "Where can Yunxi allow her to escape so easily? Even if she can't get the spirit bead, she must not be allowed to escape, and then go out to harm her brother!"

Yunxi grabbed it with her big hand, and the endless mystical power was released without reservation, like a big net, enveloping Yunpian, and then retracting it, bringing her whole person into the net. The strength of the two sides is not on the same level at all, Yun Xi caught her lightly, threw her hard, and the next moment, only heard a louder "plop", and Yun Pianpian fell into the waterhole.

"Help!

Yunxi stepped on Yun Pianpian's shoulder, and pressed her down, who wanted to emerge from the water.

"Go down, pick up the flame spirit bead for me!!, or you won't want to leave the waterhole today!"

Gollum, Gollum, Gollum -

Suddenly, there was a sudden change in the waterhole, and countless bubbles bubbled out of the water.

Yunxi unconsciously retracted her feet and fell backwards, and in the dark, she seemed to sense an irresistible force coming out of the pool, making it gradually difficult for her to breathe.

What's going on?

What kind of monster is that?

"Help!

Yun Pian's cries for help became more urgent, and she waved her hands for help. However, the next moment, something entangled her in the lower half of her body, dragging her to sink mercilessly.

The pool of water ran over her chin, over her mouth and nose, and at last her head and her dancing hands were all submerged......

Yunxi was shocked and subconsciously wanted to escape from the place.

At this time, the water surface changed suddenly, and the whole waterhole spun rapidly, and a bottomless whirlpool rose around the center, and in the depths of the whirlpool, there were more strange whining sounds.

Yunxi soon felt a force that was holding her all in a tight grip, wanting to drag her into the whirlpool.

"Slash!" Yunxi hurriedly took out his sword, this sword condensed the power of the artifact, and the brightest spot of the sword tip bloomed with light, turning into an incomparably gorgeous holy light, towards the center of the whirlpool, slashing fiercely!

It was a stunning blow, and it contained a decision to die or die.

Boom Boom

The sword qi slashed through the pool of water, splitting it in half, and the water splashed and hung high into two waterfalls.

Suddenly, the sky and the earth were dark, and the wind and clouds were surging.

A giant beast roared and rushed out of the water, with the fury of thunder, and four huge water columns accompanied its appearance, with endless momentum, covering the sky and covering the cloud stream.

Yunxi's eyes were about to burst, what kind of monster was that? so terrifying?

She could clearly see that it had a man in its mouth, swallowing her little by little, and that person was the cloud that had fallen into the pool earlier.

Mamma Mia, do you want to play so big?

"Aunt Nine, your old man should show up quickly! This is too scary, I can't afford to play it!"
