Tick.

The droplets of water dripping from the stone milk at the top of the cave fell and shattered on the cold ground, splashing a little bit of coldness, caressing the sleeping girl's face. Perhaps it was too cold here, and finally she couldn't bear it anymore, and the girl's eyelashes fluttered slightly when she closed her eyes, and slowly opened her eyes.

Subconsciously propping herself up on the ground, she pressed her other hand on her still dizzy head, and scanned her surroundings suspiciously, in the dimness, her vision gradually recovered, followed by more confusion.

"Here...... Where is it?"

In some chaotic memories, there is no trace of it at all.

"Why, don't you know it yourself?"

At this moment, a voice suddenly came, and the girl trembled suddenly, and looked at the place where the voice came from with a frightened face, and then she vaguely saw a figure sitting on the rock with a sword in the shadows. In an instant, the girl subconsciously blocked her arms in front of her, with a vigilant face.

"Who are you?"

"A passer-by is also the one who saves you. ”

In the shadows, Ning Yue lifted the sheathed Dark Xuan Ancient Sword and got up, and at that moment, he caught a glimpse of the girl subconsciously stepping back, hurriedly stopping her movements, and sitting down again.

"There's no need to be so nervous, if I want to hurt you, I don't need to save you. The reason why I saved you is not because I want to get anything in return from you, but because of the morality in my heart. Let's listen to why you're in a coma like this. It stands to reason that at that time, the legend of the revival of the sacred spring of Qingque Mountain had not yet appeared, so you didn't need to come here. ”

Shaking her head, the girl replied, "I don't know what you're talking about, and I don't know why I'm here...... No, where the hell is this?"

"The junction of the frontier of all nations and the state of Chaowu, Qingque Mountain. This cave is underwater, and due to the special topography, there is no water inside, so you can stay. I came here for a certain legendary treasure hunt, and I accidentally found you in a coma, and I happened to faint in the last ten meters in front of the spiritual vein spring. The Heaven and Earth Spirit Treasure originally had no owner, and those who saw it had a share, so after absorbing the spiritual power by themselves, they also helped you with a share. As I thought, with that spiritual help, you woke up. ”

This statement was exactly what Ning Yue had agreed with Mercy before, and the girl who woke up was naturally the master before Mercy.

The girl looked confused, shook her head again, and said, "I still don't understand what you said." At the last moment in my memory, I should have been far away from here, and then- by the way, the clothes on my body were not right, I wouldn't buy this style of clothes, could it be ......"

Suddenly, she stopped talking, and stared at the ground as far as she could see, and several severed swords were scattered.

"How is that possible?"

The body of the sword is destroyed, the spirit of the sword is destroyed, as the original owner of the pity, it is impossible for her not to know this.

"Why did my sword break, do you know what?"

"It was already like this when I came, maybe you met some enemy here before, and after a fierce battle, your sword broke, and you fell into a coma because of the great consumption, right? It's too damp and cold here, and you're probably still weak, so it's better to go outside. ”

Hearing this, the girl nodded, staggered to her feet, and leaned against the side stone wall, feeling a little uncomfortable.

Seeing this, Ning Yue thought about stretching out his hand and quickly withdrawing it, and then said, "It's better for you to adjust it first, and I'll go out and have a look first." The spiritual veins are gathered here, and many strong people have been attracted to it recently, in case they set up an ambush outside, it will be troublesome. ”

"Okay, please. The girl answered.

"By the way, my name is Ning Yue, and I don't know your name yet. ”

"My name is ...... Yan Xiyue. ”

Breaking through the water alone, returning to the top of Qingque Mountain, when Ning Yue landed, including Mo Xu Yanya, everyone's eyes were focused together, and their expressions were different. Without waiting for them to ask, he hurriedly said, "Wait a minute, let me speak first." Next, help me round out a lie, how about it?"

"Round lie, Ning Yue, what are you doing?" Lei Jiang was stunned for a moment, looked at the water on the side, and asked again: "Pity, why didn't she come out together?"

"It's because of her that I want you to help me tell my lie. Remember clearly, but don't make mistakes. ”

Sighing helplessly, Ning Yue briefly told what had just happened, but there were some details, but he chose to conceal them. In the process, his hanging left hand kept gripping the hilt of Dark Xuan's sword.

Just now, in the last fight to keep the spirit body of mercy from dispersing, it seems that due to the last step of the signing of the Demon Wing Emperor's Chess Oath, the chariot chess piece and the remnant soul spirit body have merged to awaken a new power, and they were hit by the stabbing Dark Xuan Ancient Sword. In the resonance of overlapping powers, the sixth seal in the Dark Xuan Ancient Sword was unlocked.

The sixth form, Soul Swallowing. The moment it hits the enemy's flesh and blood body, the sword intent that erupts in the dark fire can directly devour the opponent's soul and transform it into a power enhancement for himself. However, devouring does not mean extermination, it can also imprison that soul in the sword, and Ning Yue's choice is naturally the latter.

However, when he was pleasantly surprised, he suddenly realized that something was not good. Souls imprisoned in the Dark Xuan Ancient Sword by the power of the Spirit Devouring Force will be in a sealed sleeping state, and can be refined and devoured later when needed to use as their own power. However, there is currently no ability to release that spirit.

In other words, Mercy is still alive, but in a deep sleep like her previous master. Moreover, Ning Yue had no way to revive her for the time being, and the only way she could think of was only one way.

Then there is a dark seal, the seventh power. If he wanted to, he should be able to choose to unleash the trick of mercy.

It's just that the fifth power was a gift from the original sword spirit before it fell asleep, plus the power of the Demon Wing Emperor Chess and the baptism of the Holy Spring, so that all the seals could be successfully lifted. And this time, the sixth seal, a large part of it is really a game of luck. After the next awakening, Ning Yue didn't dare to have too many extravagant hopes.

Perhaps, when he reaches the level of the mortal realm, he may not be able to do it. However, if you don't set foot in that realm, I'm afraid there is no chance at all. And now, he has only broken through to the Wind Riding Realm for a few days, and this continuous breakthrough is not only the Demon Wing Emperor Chess and the Spirit Vein of Qingque Mountain, but also the essence blood of the Demon Race through the Dark Xuan absorbed by the Battle of Silver Wing City at the beginning. Next time, where will there be such an opportunity?

In short, there is a long way to go.

But he will never give up, and now there are two souls sleeping in the Dark Xuan Ancient Sword, two souls that he can't live up to.

After listening to Ning Yue's narration, Han Jing, Su Qian, and Lei Jiang, who finally knew the truth, were all shocked, if such an unimaginable thing hadn't come out of the mouth of Ning Yue, who subverted common sense, they really wouldn't have chosen to believe it.

"In other words, the girl who is waiting to come out is no longer pity, but her master Yan Xiyue?" Han Jing nodded slightly, and suddenly his eyes changed slightly, and he raised his hand to grope his chin.

"Wait a minute, Yan Xiyue...... How do I feel like I've heard of this name somewhere?"

Ning Yue was taken aback by this and said, "Do you know where she came from?"

Shaking his head, Han Jing replied: "I just think this name is a bit impressive, but I can't think of more." ”

"That's right, according to the mercy, this master of hers fell into a deep sleep more than three years ago, and after such a long time, you only heard it occasionally, and you didn't pay attention to it, and it's normal that you can't remember it now. It doesn't matter, I see that Yan Xiyue seems to retain the memories before she fell asleep, and she doesn't know her origin. ”

With a faint smile, Ning Yue turned around again, and reminded again: "Don't forget what I just said, don't show your stuffing." There is also Senior Mo Xu, I'm afraid I want to trouble you to stay out of the way for a while, don't let her see it. ”

With a long roar, the Mo Xu Yan Crow flapped its wings, and soon its figure disappeared into the sky.

It didn't take long for Ning Yue to help Yan Xiyue step out of the water, and when he stepped on the ground, Han Jing and Su Qian hurriedly caught up, one left and one right.

Seeing that it was two women who came to help this time, Yan Xiyue's eyes faded a little vigilant, she breathed a sigh of relief, and nodded, "Thank you." ”

Ning Yue said: "These are what I told you, my companions. If you feel unwell, we can send you back by the way, but I don't know, what is the origin of Miss Yan?"

"Just call me by name, you are my savior, there is no need to be so polite. Don't bother, I'll take a little rest and go back on my own. By the way, that can be given to me. ”

Lowering her head, Yan Xiyue slowly stretched out her little hand.

What Ning Yue handed her was a sheathed sword, the one that had been pityfully lodged before. Although the blade of the sword was broken, Yan Xiyue was unwilling to give it up, so he collected the fragments of the blade and put them in the sheath, and then inserted the hilt of the sword and brought it out of the underwater cave.

Taking the sword, Yan Xiyue's eyes showed a faint sadness, she could guess that she would come here because of pity. In the last memories before she fell asleep, she remembered very clearly that she had put control of her body in the hands of Mercy, and this time it was herself who woke up again, which meant that Mercy must have done something.

"Pity, thank you. ”

With a soft voice, with the support of the two women, Pian Qi retreated to the side and sat down in the corner. Seeing that her appearance was still a little weak, Su Qian hurriedly went to the side to relight the bonfire and began to reheat the leftover fish soup at noon. In the pool of spring water at the top of Qingque Mountain, the swimming fish are very fat, and they spend their days fishing for food.

"You can go to the holy spring below, but you may not be able to go with everyone at one time, so who will go first?"

After Yan Xiyue settled down temporarily, Ning Yue finally got down to business, but at this time, it seemed that the only person who was most concerned about this was Lei Jiang.

Lei Jiang, who heard this, looked like he was about to move.

"I didn't expect that I could really experience the holy spring of Qingque Mountain. Ning Yue, hurry up and take me there. ”

Nodding, Ning Yue moved his gaze again, and said, "It's a bit of a waste to go alone, why don't you go with Meng Ye." After all, if you are soaking in water, if it is Han Jing or Su Qian, as a woman, it may not be convenient to be with Lei Jiang, although it can be separated by a lot of distance. ”

"Don't. ”

Meng Ye shook his head without thinking, and suddenly reacted to something, and hurriedly said: "Wait a minute, soak in the water!" Lord Ning Yue, you were kind to me before-woo woo woo, woo woo!"

Before he finished speaking, his mouth was blocked by Ning Yue's probing hand.

"Hey, you're going to say it?"

Ning Yue glared at Meng Ye, cautiously glanced at Yan Xiyue, who was drinking fish soup on the side, and saw that she didn't pay attention to this side, so he was relieved.

Hurriedly shook his head, and after Ning Yue let go of his hand, Meng Ye muttered in a low voice, "Lord Ning Yue, I'm sorry." ”

"No need to apologize, you didn't mean to. Since I don't want to go, then I'll take Lei Jiang first. ”

beckoned, Ning Yue led Lei Jiang and began to enter the water.

A few days later, Lei Jiang, Su Qian, and Han Jing all experienced the baptism of the Holy Spring, and their strength increased, but only Lei Jiang, who was the strongest before, was able to break through to the Wind Riding Realm. And Meng Ye was the last to enter the holy spring alone and began to cultivate.

It seemed that he had fully recovered, Yan Xiyue finally said goodbye, refused the companions proposed by Ning Yue and the others, and strode down the mountain alone. When she turned the first bend of the mountain road and reached a position where no one was looking, Hao's teeth gritted and her fist slammed into the side dodge, and the hand holding the saber trembled violently.

"Damn, Abyss Scales Palace, I will never spare you! I will collect all the debts of the year and the debts of mercy from you, waiting for me!"
