Chapter 149: The Oath
Out of Fengyun Island, I ran for more than ten miles in one go, and only stopped when I came to Haining City. I breathe a sigh of relief in my heart, and I always feel that the more I think about it, the more it is not a taste.
Xu Ruonan is different from ordinary women, she has lived in the Netherworld Sect since she was a child, and the intrigue in the sect and the fight in the rivers and lakes outside the sect have made her develop a decisive character of killing, and she is extremely indifferent to human life. This is where our values conflict.
I was upset, so I went to a liquor store and asked for a pot of wine, ready to get drunk and relieve my sorrows. I poured a full wine glass and was about to drink it, but I remembered that now the Netherworld God Sect is in danger, but I am here to borrow wine to drown my sorrows, and secretly said in my heart, Su is still here, Su is still here, why did you come to Haining this time? Isn't it just to take Xu Ruonan back to Jinling, the situation on Fengyun Island is critical, but you are drinking and having fun here, you really should fight!
Thinking of this, I stood up and turned around and walked towards Fengyun Island. The guy in the back said, guest officer, I haven't settled the bill yet. I pulled out a piece of silver and threw it backwards. Now that the realm has improved, the light skills are much better than before, but with a stick of incense, he has returned to Fengyun Island.
The allied forces of the various sects have retreated, and there are corpses everywhere, both from the Nether Sect and from the various sects.
It turned out that within more than an hour of my absence, Nangong Changqing and Li Mingxiu led the masters of various sects to Fengyun Island and launched a desperate struggle with the Netherworld God Sect.
Netherworld Sect Venerable Jing Yurou was seriously injured by Nangong Changqing, and when Fengyun Island was about to fall, the Blood Demon Sword Xunlou Ye suddenly appeared, sneaked up on Nangong Changqing, stabbed Nangong Changqing's Qi Sea Cave, and reversed the situation in one fell swoop.
The Netherworld Sect also suffered heavy casualties, and after the inventory, it also lost seven or eight hundred people, the key is that the buildings on Fengyun Island were almost completely destroyed, and even the harbor dock was set on fire by various sects, and almost half of it was burned.
The Netherworld Sect members are counting the battlefield and carrying the dead members to the Heroes Tomb in the back mountain for burial. As for the corpses of the various sects, they were thrown in mass graves, poured fire oil, and burned.
It can be said that in this battle, both sides were defeated, and no one took advantage. The masters of the various sects on the rivers and lakes were seriously damaged, among them, eleven masters of the Knowing Xuan Realm were killed in battle, and the Netherworld Sect was not having a good time, four of the ten great venerables were killed in battle, and three were seriously injured.
I came to the helmsman and asked to see Xu Ruonan, but I was told that Jing Yurou was seriously injured, Xu Ruonan was in retreat with her, and there were no outsiders, and all matters in the sect were handed over to the elders of the sect.
I don't know if this is really the case, or if Xu Ruonan deliberately avoided it, and when he was hesitating, Elder Sun Chuanfang came to my side and said What are you kid walking around here, go, brother, I still owe you a drink, go drink!
Where am I in the mood to drink, Sun Chuanfang dragged him to a wine shop in Haining City and ordered a table of wine and food. When I first came to Fengyun Island that day, Elder Chuangong was very unfriendly, but after a period of contact, he had a relatively big change in his opinion of me, and he saw that I was sad and not very interested, so he said, are you still worried about Xu Yatou's affairs?
I said no, what can my predecessors teach me?
Sun Chuanfang said that I call you brother, but you call me senior, what do you say about this generation?
I had no choice but to pick up my glass and say, a toast to my eldest brother.
After three rounds of drinking, the two entered the state and talked more.
Sun Chuanfang said, to be honest, at the beginning Xu Yatou told me about you, I was not optimistic about you, thinking that you were not worthy of our Xu Yatou. However, after this period of getting along, you are a principled person, honest and loyal, although a little poor, but overall not bad. My Xu girl, choosing a man is quite a bit of a vision.
I said don't comfort me, that's it, she won't even see me, what should I do?
Sun Chuanfang said, Xu Ruonan, this girl is very proud, if you let her bow her head, it is better to kill her, now the plan, you will be soft, and talk with her well, the little two, stumbling is inevitable.
I sighed and said, I originally thought that I would come to Haining this time and take her back to Jinling to live together, but it seems difficult.
Sun Chuanfang pondered for a moment, and then said, there is something that should not be told to you, a few days ago, Xu Yatou went to the sect leader to resign from the position of the head of the Holy Sect, but the sect leader did not agree, and it is said that the two had a quarrel.
I stood up and said I was not drinking this meal.
Why?
I'm going to take Xu Ruonan away.
Sun Chuanfang said, after today, do you really think she will go with you?
I wondered, why not?
Sun Chuanfang said lightly: Although the various sects attacked Fengyun Island, although they did not take any advantage, do you think this matter is over? Our Holy Sect has always had kindness and revenge, and according to the temper of the sect venerable, it is bound to launch a bloody revenge. If you were the leader, would you choose to leave at this time?
I was silent in my heart, I knew her temper too well. Sun Chuanfang was right, Xu Ruonan was not the kind of person who escaped from the battle, she would only retire after success, and would never leave when the Netherworld Sect was in the most difficult time. However, I decided that I should give it a try.
Xu Ruonan and Jing Yurou are still in retreat, and the Elder Shi temporarily assumes the position of sect leader.
In the battle of Fengyun Island, hundreds of people from the Netherworld Sect died in battle, which gave full play to the Elder of the Buddha Sect who loved to be reasonable, and went door to door to do ideological work.
At this time, the most important thing for the Netherworld Sect is to do a good job of rebuilding its homeland. The first to bear the brunt is to rebuild the Dense Fog Array and repair the trading ports.
Fengyun Island is a smuggling transit station in Nanyang and Dongyi, and it is also one of the most important economic sources of the Netherworld Sect. However, it is unlikely that the smuggling trade will be reopened in the near future.
Three days later, a memorial service for the Battle of Fengyun Island was held in the Houshan Heroes' Tomb, and the three elders expressed their stance that they would cherish the peace that the seven hundred and six heroes who had been sleeping underground for a long time, and they could not forget the disasters brought to Fengyun Island by those so-called famous and decent families. Now that he wants to recuperate and recuperate, he will let all the sects pay for their blood debts one day!
Above the rivers and lakes, it is a different scene.
Xiaosheng Jianghu made a big report on this attack on Fengyun Island, claiming that he destroyed the nest of the Netherworld Sect in one fell swoop, killed countless enemies, maintained the fairness and justice of the martial arts, and maintained the new order of the martial arts.
As for the League of Heroes who are manipulating behind the scenes, no news has leaked out.
I said in my heart that this martial arts alliance leader looks like a beautiful scenery, but he is just a person who stands on the platform supported by some forces behind him, and at best he is just a puppet alliance leader. This also explains why Li Mingxiu's martial arts skills are not high, but he has been able to occupy the position of the leader of the martial arts alliance for nearly twenty or thirty years.
After another two days, Xu Kaishan left Fengyun Island.
After cultivating in the fire cave for three months, he found a way to control the cold poison in his body, but the martial arts realm fell to the Wen realm.
I sent him out of Fengyun Island, and looked at him with gray temples and haggard, like an ordinary old man. I really can't imagine that just half a year ago, he was one of the top ten masters in the rivers and lakes, and he stirred up the whole rivers and lakes by himself.
The battle between him and the sword god sealed thousands of miles was even more earth-shattering, crying ghosts and gods, and shocked the entire rivers and lakes.
Now it is accompanied by just a heavenly knife and a thin horse, which can't help but make people sigh, the hero is in the twilight, and the sword is covered with dust.
When I asked him about his future plans, Xu Kaishan told me that since he was poisoned, he has been thinking about the true meaning of life day and night, and what can keep him alive are only two obsessions. One is to return to the Stygian Mountain, and the second thing is to find his daughter.
Twenty years ago, Xu Kaishan went to Hadesan Mountain, and his life trajectory changed. However, he never regretted it, and twenty years later, he embarked on a journey to find the Underworld.
I gave Xu Kaishan a few fake blank road guides, a stack of silver tickets, and a few disguised masks in my arms.
Back then, as a chivalrous man at the top of the food chain, Xu Kaishan walked sideways in the world with a heavenly sword, but now it is not as different from the beginning, the realm is different from before, and he naturally has to act and do things according to the rules of the rivers and lakes at the bottom.
After nightfall, I climbed Fengqi Peak.
The Qiantang River flows quietly in the distance, and the magnificent tide of the Qiantang River will one day return to calm.
In the night sky, the moon is like a hook, the stars are dotted, and under the night, Fengyun Island is lit up, like a sleeping giant.
The world is impermanent.
At this time last year, I was still stealing the Holy Gate and worrying about firewood, rice, oil and salt, but now I am involved in disputes in the rivers and lakes. In the past year, there have been gains and losses, the realm of martial arts has increased greatly, I have met a group of friends, and I have met Xu Ruonan, but as a price, I can't be as carefree as I was back then.
Xu Ruonan's voice sounded behind him, what were you thinking?
I was suddenly shocked, after entering the Realm of Knowledge, my spiritual sense and perception have been greatly improved, and there are even more protective body true elements all over the surrounding space in the Sea of Stars, even if ordinary masters can hide their qi, it is not so easy to get close to me.
I looked back and saw Xu Ruonan, but I saw that her injuries had already healed, and her eyes were bright, like a star in the dark night sky.
I couldn't help but widen my eyes, I didn't see it for a few days, Xu Ruonan's martial arts actually jumped several levels in a row, and he entered the realm of Tongxiang.
Xu Ruonan asked, what to see?
I was surprised, your martial arts?
Xu Ruonan said, since the retreat in the past few days, the master has passed on her whole body cultivation to me.
I said in my heart that it was no wonder that I couldn't sense her, after entering the Enlightenment Realm, she was able to create her own spatial laws and hide her breath in this space. However, now that I saw her, I decided not to detour anymore, and asked directly, Ruonan, can you go back to Jinling with me?
Xu Ruonan was silent, and said after a long time, Brother Su, I'm sorry.
When I heard this, my heart was cold, and what I was worried about still happened.
Xu Ruonan took a deep breath and said to me, I know the purpose of your visit this time, a few days ago, I did have the idea of leaving Fengyun Island and returning to Jinling with you. But as you know, after the Great War of Fengyun Island, we lost hundreds of brothers. In order to revive the Holy Sect and take revenge, the master passed on her skills to me. Fengyun Island is my home, how can I leave rashly when I am in trouble at home?
Xu Ruonan is Xu Ruonan, not Xie Junyan, she has too many things on her body, so that she can't be like an ordinary woman, she can fight for love. I nodded in understanding.
Xu Ruonan asked again, where is the golden needle I gave you?
On the same day in Matsue Mansion, I stabbed Inoue Jushiro with a golden needle, and I later put the golden needle away and carried it with me ever since. I took out the gold needle, Xu Ruonan took it, stabbed the gold needle into my fingertips, and punctured my fingertips, and after the gold needles drank the blood of the two of us, they turned bright red.
Xu Ruonan stretched out a finger and said, One year, I only need one year.
I'm curious, a year?
Xu Ruonan said: Yes, within a year, when I revive the Netherworld Sect and collect the blood debts owed by those famous and decent people with interest, I will withdraw from the rivers and lakes and go to Jinling City to find you, this is my Xu Ruonan's oath to you.
