Chapter Seventy-Six: Ice Phoenix Tribulation (Deterioration)
"Master, she...... How did it come to be like this......"
In front of the Chen sisters, a beautiful woman about 40 years old, dressed in moire white, was sleeping quietly on a jade bed covered with various herbs.
"After you left, Uncle Shi fell into a strange poison, and the leakage of true qi from her whole body was difficult to suppress. In order to retain her internal strength as much as possible, Uncle Shi had to use the Soul Separation Skill to maintain herself in a half-life-half-dead sleeping state, and now this state has been maintained for more than three years. Chen Yuxia said with a sigh.
"Master...... Ning'er is back, you ...... Can you hear Ning'er? Chen Fangning leaned her face on the cold back of the woman in white, and her tears had already burst out of her eyes uncontrollably.
"Back then...... What happened? I don't believe you're going to betray Uncle Liu, haven't you told me yet? Chen Yuxia asked anxiously towards Chen Fangning.
"Boom!" At this moment, a loud noise suddenly came from a distance. Then, black smoke billowed from the rocky blockage of the mountain.
"Listen to the people inside, as long as you hand over Xi Yuanzhu and Liu Bing Tears immediately, the imperial court can wait for a way out. Otherwise, when the mountain road is opened, it will be the day when the Ice Phoenix Valley will be destroyed! Cheng Zhang gradually lost his patience, and he only wanted to get the washing of Yuanzhu, and he gradually left Chu Birou and the others behind.
After Cheng Zhang's men finished speaking loudly, the people in the Ice Phoenix Valley suddenly panicked, and the will of many disciples wavered, and the instinct to survive made them gradually become extremely pessimistic about the situation in front of them.
At this time, Zhang Xin, who was originally hiding behind the scenes, saw that the time was ripe, so he led his cronies gathered from all over the Ice Phoenix Valley to surround Chu Birou, Gao Che and Tong Kun. Zhang Xin began to instigate everyone at the scene, making them think that these people had brought the disaster to the Ice Phoenix Valley, and at the same time, he also loudly called on the rest of the Ice Phoenix Valley disciples to take down these three people, so as to avoid the destruction of the Ice Phoenix Valley.
"Hey, didn't you hear what the people outside were shouting? These people are obviously here to wash the Yuan Zhu, what's the use of you bullying more here? Tong Kun asked the surrounding Ice Phoenix Valley disciples unconvinced.
"Hehe, if it weren't for your group of Qin criminals who attracted Cheng Zhang, would they have this excuse to kill Binghuang Valley? Now I still want the entire Ice Phoenix Valley to be buried with you, that's a dream! Zhang Xin continued to stir up the uneasiness of the surrounding disciples of the Ice Phoenix Valley, and many of the disciples of the Ice Phoenix Valley also spoke ill of the three people in the encirclement.
"Stop, Second Senior Brother, do you want to rebel?" Chen Yuxia led a group of disciples to arrive in time to protect the three of them, and the two factions of the Ice Phoenix Valley disciples formed a stalemate in Ning Cui.
"Hmph, Chen Yuxia, tell you, the Ice Phoenix Valley has been established for a hundred years, if these people are erased from the rivers and lakes today, whether it is you or the valley master, none of you can afford this responsibility!" Zhang Xin continued to instigate the disciples who stood on Chen Yuxia's side.
"How? Are you still moving? Gao Che saw that internal strife in Ice Phoenix Valley was inevitable, so he turned around and asked Chu Birou about the situation with concern.
"It's okay, I can't drag you down, I'm not to the point where I need someone to take care of me." Chu Birou held her right hand and said breathlessly.
"Oh, I hope you'll drag me down so I can see how heavy you are, haha!" Goucher then replied a little mischievously.
With Zhang Xin's order, Ning Cuiping suddenly became a mess, shouting to kill the heavens, and the same door did not hesitate to fight each other in order to survive.
In this chaos, Zhang Xin quietly left the scene, and he tried in vain to take this opportunity to sneak into the Reflecting Moon Tower to steal the Washing Yuan Pearl.
As he wished, the Moon Reflecting Tower was really empty at the moment, so Zhang Xin was satisfied and flew directly to the top of the tower. However, he never expected that under the glass box where the Yuan Zhu was placed, Yu Zhongrui was meditating with his eyes closed and waiting for him to come to the door.
"Master, I'm sorry, it's about my disciple's net worth and life. Today, I have to take the Yuan Zhu! Zhang Xin set up a position and prepared to fight with Yu Zhongrui.
Surprisingly, Yu Zhongrui was not ready to make a move with Zhang Xin, but slowly stood up and walked to the other side of the floor where the two were with his back to Zhang Xin.
As soon as Zhang Xin saw that Yu Zhongrui did not stop him, his originally highly nervous state of mind instantly became a lot more relaxed. However, when he rushed forward and opened the glass box, he found that it was empty.
"Let's go, you and I will break off from now on, as for washing Yuanzhu, I'm afraid you won't be able to think about it in this life." Yu Zhongrui walked down the stairs with his sleeves, and then Zhang Xin quickly jumped to the next floor and stopped in front of Yu Zhongrui.
"Where's Xi Yuanzhu? Where is it? Zhang Xin roared at Yu Zhongrui like crazy.
Yu Zhongrui stopped and glanced at him without answering, and then continued to walk straight towards Zhang Xin's location.
Just as Yu Zhongrui walked past Zhang Xin, Zhang Xin, who was a little out of control, suddenly turned around and waved a dagger, and Yu Zhongrui's back was immediately cut by this knife with a long wound.
"You...... Why didn't you hide? I...... There's no way I'm going to hurt you! The bloody dagger in his hand fell to the ground, and Zhang Xin was suddenly frightened and a little masterless.
"Ahem...... Ahem, hehe, I have no skills now, no different from a wasted person, even if you want to kill me, I can't resist. Yu Zhongrui half-squatted on the ground and panted.
"For ...... Why? This...... No way! Zhang Xin shouted intermittently with trembling hands.
"Child, because...... I still have to risk my life...... I want to protect the thing. Can you understand? Blood stained her clothes, and Yu Zhongrui continued to move forward with difficulty, and said intermittently with a trembling voice.
Zhang Xin held back his tears of grief and indignation, yelled at the sky, and then left the Reflecting Moon Tower quickly.
On the other side, a fierce battle was raging on Ning Cui Ping, and the rebellious Ice Phoenix Valley disciples gradually gained the upper hand, and Chen Yuxia took the remaining Ice Phoenix Valley disciples and Chu Birou and the other three to retreat into the Phoenix Tears Pavilion.
"Brothers, they can't stand it, everyone!" With a shout coming from among the rebel disciples, all the rebel disciples began to storm the door of the Phoenix Tears Pavilion.
Just when Chen Yuxia and the others were preparing for a desperate battle, a white figure suddenly flew out of the inner room of the Phoenix Tears Pavilion with lightning speed, and then she stood alone in the courtyard in front of the Phoenix Tears Pavilion with her empty hands.
After a while, the rebel disciples broke through the gate and poured into the courtyard, and they were greeted by a woman wearing a veil and a white dress with a cloud pattern.
"This person must be their comrade, kill her!"
The rebel disciples rushed up with swords in hand, and several people hiding in the Phoenix Tears Pavilion wanted to go out to help, but they were persuaded by Chen Fangning, who suddenly walked out of the inner room.
I saw that the woman in white broke the wooden box on her back and took out a white jade guqin with ice crystal light from it, and for a while, a very strong internal force rushed towards the surroundings, and all the rebellious disciples fell to the ground with blood in their mouths after being hit by this wave of qi.
"Disciple...... Meet Uncle! Zhang Xin, who had just arrived here, saw Liu Bing's tears when he woke up from his deep sleep, and immediately knelt down on the ground in a panic.
Seeing that Zhang Xin knelt down in a little panic, the rest of the Ice Phoenix Valley disciples also endured their pain and bowed.
"Where's Arui?" Liu Bing asked with tears in her eyes, but no one answered her.
"Lord Yugu went to the Reflecting Moon Tower." Liu Yangyang came out of the back room and said to Liu Bing tears, and Liu Bing tears immediately rushed towards the Reflecting Moon Tower.
At this moment, only a loud noise was heard, and the rocks piled up in the distance were completely blasted away by gunpowder, and Cheng Zhang led the beggar army to immediately drive straight in, approaching the Phoenix Tears Pavilion where everyone was.
"Hehe, it seems that I lost, in the end, I'm just an apprentice of the master who is not angry." Zhang Xin said to himself expressionlessly, he knew very well that since he had not been able to obtain the Wash Yuan Zhu so far, the promises that Cheng Zhang had given him would inevitably only be the moon in the mirror.
"If there is still blood in the Ice Phoenix Valley, stand up for me and cover the retreat of the injured into the Frost Cave!" Chen Yuxia clenched her long sword, her eyes bloodshot, and led dozens of Ice Phoenix Valley disciples who were determined to fight to the death rushed towards the direction of the mountain gate.
"Miss Liu, please take care of her." Gao Che entrusted Chu Birou, who was weak after being injured, to Liu Yangyang, and prepared to join the battle with Tong Kun. However, when he lowered his head and looked at Chu Birou and was about to leave, Chu Birou grabbed a corner of his clothes.
"Don't be reckless, I'm ...... like this Can't save you! Chu Birou said with a concerned tone.
"Don't worry, I can't drag you down, hehe!" Gao Che blinked softly and carefully let go of Chu Birou's left hand.
The fierce battle was raging on the Ning Cui Ping, and Cheng Zhang watched proudly behind him as one Ice Phoenix Valley disciple after another fell in a pool of blood.
"Haha, Ice Phoenix Valley is so vulnerable, it seems that Brother Zhou was too worried beforehand. With this group of well-trained beggars, what other sect can compete with the general? ”
Cheng Zhang drove his horse into the middle of the people who were fighting in Ningcuiping, and led the beggar army to gradually force Chen Yuxia and others to the intersection leading to the Shenshuang Cave.
"Wait a minute, don't kill me, I surrender, I'll tell you where Xiyuanzhu is." A disciple of Ice Phoenix Valley beside Chen Yuxia suddenly rebelled and quickly ran to the opponent's formation, "However, I only want to tell the general one person. ”
Cheng Zhang got off his horse and walked to this disciple with some excitement, and at the same time, he was accompanied by two guards, he thought that this would be foolproof.
"Wash the Yuanzhu, it's in the ......" Just as the disciple was about to continue, the two beggar army guards beside Cheng Zhang suddenly stabbed their swords into Cheng Zhang's body at the same time, and Cheng Zhang immediately fell to his knees with a dying breath, his eyes suddenly full of surprise and resentment.
"General Cheng, didn't you just say that He Sect and He faction can compete with you? Before you can breathe, I'll give you a name, and you can remember it. Zhou Xuan showed a sinister sneer, and as he spoke, he and the three guards beside him slowly tore off the disguises on their faces.
"Wind ~ Thunder ~ Hall!"
As Cheng Zhang's eyeballs stopped rolling, Wang Xiao, Yin Eclipse, Qiu Ying and Chen Yutian appeared in front of everyone with their true colors.
Synchronized with the action of the four of them tearing off their masks, it was the soldiers of the begging army who were loyal to them who quickly killed more than a dozen soldiers of the pro-guard team under Cheng Zhang's command.
"Ladies and gentlemen, don't come unharmed, please forgive me for meeting you in such a playful way." Wang Xiao rode forward and said to the besieged people.
"Who are you? Is it also for Xi Yuanzhu and Uncle Liu? Chen Yuxia asked sharply with a frown.
"Hehe, that's natural, but this seat is different from Cheng Zhang, a fool, this seat will never do anything that is not sure." Wang Xiao looked at everyone contemptuously and said, it seemed that for him, it was an easy matter to obtain the Wash Yuan Bead.
"Do you really think that the people who are cowering in the Frost Cave at this moment are all still people you know?" After Wang Xiao's deliberate reminder, everyone became a little uneasy in an instant.
"The turbidity in the Three Envoys of Wind and Thunder is not here, is she ......" Gao Che seemed to suddenly think of something, and his thoughts began to run rapidly in his brain.
Chen Yuxia didn't care about Wang Xiao's words, she quickly raised her sword and rushed towards Wang Xiao without fear.
However, not surprisingly, even if Wang Xiao did not use the Kui Sha Sword, he repelled it in three or two strokes. Later, Gao Che Tong Kun also prepared to support Chen Yuxia, but the two were entangled by Yin Eclipse and Shadow and couldn't get out.
"Since the girl is so persistent, then I will fulfill you!" Wang Xiao jumped up from the horse's back and kicked Chen Yuxia several times, and then quickly threw a sword and stabbed Chen Yuxia who was injured and fell to the ground.
In an instant, a tall and thin black figure flashed in front of Chen Yuxia, and with the blood gushing out, this figure fell heavily to the ground......
