Chapter 242: Mysterious Land
It was night, Xia Yuqian was closing her eyes and repairing, when suddenly a fallen leaf scorched by the fire floated next to her clothes. Xia Yuqian picked up the leaf, looked at the strange drawing on it, and felt a little surprised, she couldn't imagine that the ghost woman could even enter and exit the heavily guarded Ziyun Mountain at will.
Xia Yuqian came to a jungle behind Pengxuange Waterfall, and through the moonlight projected through the gaps in the leaves, she saw an old woman standing not far from herself, wearing a black cloak, holding a deadwood cane in one hand, and a ghost fire black lamp in the other.
The old woman held up the black light, and her eyes widened in surprise the moment the light shone on Xia Yuqian.
"I unlocked the Enma bloodline in my body. She was the first to admit before the ghost woman could ask, but her voice was unusually calm.
"Have you considered the consequences of this?" asked the old woman, "you have increased the chances of the Enma Princess's soul awakening, and the moment her soul awakens, it is likely to consume your soul." ”
"Isn't that exactly what you expected?" Xia Yuqian looked at her and asked rhetorically, after going through so many things, she found that she was no longer afraid of some things unconsciously, because she knew that every choice she made after careful consideration had its meaning, no matter whether the final result was good or bad, she had to face it calmly and bear the price she might have to pay.
"I remember Yan Mei once said that only the Enma clan can bring you the one thing you want," Xia Yuqian walked into her, her fierce gaze staring at the gray-yellow ugly eyes under the old woman's cloak, "But what is that thing?"
The ghost woman also looked at Xia Yuqian, her arms trembled slightly, she didn't expect that things had gradually deviated from the range she could control, and the soul in Xia Yuqian's body began to undergo some subtle changes unconsciously, and she didn't even notice it at first, but now, the ghost woman couldn't tell clearly, the girl standing in front of her at this moment was still Xia Yuqian......
"Did the girl go to Ziyun Mountain this time to get back the golden jade knife?" asked the old woman.
"Ziyun Mountain is no longer qualified to protect the Golden Jade Knife, I will use that knife to eradicate the Burning Ghost, and then completely destroy it. Xia Yuqian said resolutely.
"If you can harness the power of the Enma princess and not be consumed by her soul, I believe it will be of great benefit to you, girl," the old woman said to her in a still hoarse and gloomy voice, "I know a place where the last secret of the Enma clan is buried. ”
"Where is it?" Xia Yuqian asked cautiously.
"That place only exists in the Ethereal Realm, called the Ancient Tower......"
***************
Xia Yuqian forgot how she got back to the room, she only remembered that she fell asleep on the bed in a daze, and when she woke up again, the sun had completely risen.
She hurriedly changed her clothes and came to the place outside Pengxuan Pavilion where she practiced on weekdays. In the past, she would come here to practice every morning, but Chen Kefan would often look out from the pavilion in the early morning to see how well her internal strength was being trained. But today, when Xia Yuqian arrived at the open space where she was practicing, she was a little surprised to find that Chen Kefan was standing there, as if waiting for her.
Xia Yuqian rarely got up late, and didn't want to be caught by the master, so after saluting a little embarrassedly, she began to think about what kind of reason to make up to cover up the past.
"I don't have to come to practice these days. Chen Kefan said to her suddenly.
"Huh?" Xia Yuqian thought she had misheard. Because when Chen Kefan was still a young master, the disciples of Ziyun Mountain knew that he was extremely strict with his requirements for practice, and he resolutely did not allow half of the lazy situation to happen.
Xia Yuqian was wondering if he was talking anything back, but Chen Kefan said: "You go back and prepare, and go to Yiguo with me tomorrow." ”
"Go to Yiguo?" Xia Yuqian was even more surprised when she heard this, she had been coming to Ziyun Mountain for nearly a month, but she hadn't heard any news about the golden jade knife, and even Mu Zixin didn't know where the old sect leader had placed the golden jade knife. Therefore, these days, she is getting more and more anxious day by day, and she doesn't want to be at this juncture, but Fan proposed to let her leave Ziyun Mountain with him......
"In a while, there will be a grand wedding in the Silver Bun Sect, the bride is the young sect master of the Silver Bun Sect, and the groom is Yin Gechuan of the Shogunlong Mansion, and he is also the first in the martial arts list today," Chen Kefan told her, "Xiao Qian, although you are practicing hard every day, if you just practice behind closed doors like this, sometimes the effect may not be as you imagined, so I took you to the Silver Bun Sect this time, also so that you can broaden your horizons and increase your knowledge, don't just stick to yourself or only compare with the people around you." ”
"Speaking of Shenori, she is also my cousin, so my wedding as an elder brother should naturally attend, she achieved the seventeenth in the martial arts list at the age of twenty-one, such an achievement is absolutely beyond the reach of people, but in addition to Shenweaving, there are more people with unfathomable martial arts, so in today's Xuan Realm, the Silver Hair Sect is far superior to any other sect in terms of overall strength. ”
Xia Yuqian nodded silently after hearing this, but in fact, she was not interested in how the Silver Bun Sect was, how strong could it be, being strong was not a reason to trample on the lives of the weak at will, one day, the Silver Bun Sect would pay a heavy price for the despicable things they had been doing, Xia Yuqian thought to herself.
"The reason why the Silver Bun Sect is strong must be its own strengths," Xia Yuqian's face suddenly showed a smile, and she said very obediently: "Master, please rest assured, the disciple will definitely cherish this rare opportunity and learn more from the Young Sect Master of Divine Weaving!"
***************
Wuguo, Shiming City.
In the evening, the guards of the city closed the gates, and only a few soldiers at the head of the city were left to patrol the towers with trepidation. Outside the tower, it was pitch black, and you couldn't see your fingers.
"Look, we're finally here ......"
On the hillside not far from the city, Xiao Heng looked at the ethereal lights on the city in the distance, and turned his head very excitedly to say to Lan and Xiaohua who were following him. He still had the old black mule in his hand, but he looked very unmotivated. Due to the rush for several days, coupled with hunger, Orchid's whole person has lost weight, although Xiaohua has been hungry, but her body shape seems to be unaffected......
"It's so late, the door is already closed," Wan Lan looked at the faintly lit lights at the city gate under the mountain, sighed helplessly, and sat down on the ground, "I don't know what happened to Ling Xiao and Xue Guoshi now......
"Don't worry, Princess Wanlan, even we have rushed to Shiming City, the king and they will definitely be fine. Xiao Heng also comforted after hearing this.
