Due to his frail and sick body at birth, Mu Han was cared for by his mother since he was a child, away from the harsh court battles and battlefields, so he had fewer opportunities for training. When he became an adult, he tried his best to get rid of his mother's constraints and make achievements according to his own heart, winning the favor of his father, but no matter how hard he tried, there was always a brother in front of him who could go farther and faster than himself.

Once lost power, his mother was imprisoned, his uncle died, and the Fangshan family, which he had relied on since childhood, lost his former power. Even he himself has become the target of house arrest......

Over the years, Mu Han has also had moments of painful learning, and he has secretly encouraged himself that since Mu Chen was tortured by the thunder and fell to the bottom of the valley back then, he can still make a comeback, then he can also slowly gather strength and wait for the opportunity!

But he, after all, is too proud, the kind of pride that is not controllable.

He can listen to Fang Shanlei's teachings, restrain his edge, keep his head down, and stay in the mansion all day long, but he can't go further and keep his voice down, pretending to be obedient, loyal, and submissive in front of Mu Chen. In his own words, if you can't even keep this bottom line, what's the point of living?

Therefore, when Ning Hao found him and promised to help him escape from Lingxiao City and find an opportunity to send troops to help, Mu Han agreed almost without hesitation.

He was fed up with the days when he was trampled under Mu Chen's feet, and he was fed up with the fate of being despised. He felt that this time, it was finally his turn to operate, and he finally had the opportunity to confront Mu Chen head-on!

What is Mu Chen?

After all, it's just a traitor who killed his father and usurped the throne!

Heavenly principles, morality, and reputation are all on their own side!

Fang Shanlei broke Mu Han's hands away from his chest, and said word by word with his gaze: "But if you have the slightest insight into the current situation, you should have understood that today, you definitely have no ability to compete with Mu Chen!" ”

Mu Han glared at Fang Shanlei, raised his voice and asked repeatedly: "Since you know, why do you help me?" Since you have never looked down on me, why do you follow me out of Lingxiao City, saying that I am the only person you are willing to devote your family strength to be the emperor? ”

While questioning Fang Shanlei, he couldn't help but think of another person who had turned his back, the surging emotions in his chest seemed to be sad and angry, and the peach blossom eyes were vaguely filled with tears.

Fang Shanyuan was much calmer than usual at this time, stepped forward to grab Mu Han, quickly persuaded a few words, and then raised his head and asked Fang Shanlei: "Big brother, what are your plans?" Since you have thought about going to the Southern Continent, why did you want to make the war rag before, and lose manpower in vain? Also," he pointed to Yuan Jinghu in Shanji's hand below, "What do you mean by handing over this thing to Ji?" Aren't you going to go to Nanriku together? ”

Fang Shanlei's gaze crossed everyone, glanced at the pool array that was about to open, and then fell back to Mu Han, and when he spoke again, his tone also calmed down, "Behind Mu Chen, with the support of the three major families, he has successively won over Daze and recovered the southern realm, and now with the help of the in-law relationship between Emperor Qingling and Jiuqiu, and the only hidden danger of Chaoyan, he has become the first emperor to unify the Eastern Continent God Clan in a true sense since ancient times." In this situation, if you want to go head-to-head with him, you have no chance of winning. ”

After a pause, "The fact that I promised to help you in your uprising does not mean that I am sure that you will be enthroned immediately. I gambled on the Fang Shan Clan's 10,000-year foundation and used all the available forces, first, to ensure that you can escape from the Eastern Continent smoothly, and second, to destroy this possibility before Chaoyan and Jiuqiu reach a peace. ”

Fang Shanlei lowered his gaze, stared at the prosthetic hand he had refined with Mansha Rong, and was silent for a moment.

"Uprooting the Luo clan is not only to avenge my personal vendetta, but also the only opportunity to break the situation of the unification of the Eastern Continent and provoke the confrontation between gods and demons again. Only let Jiuqiu and Chaoyan fight again, open the gateway from the north to the south, and then contain Mu Chen's forces from the side,"

He raised his eyes and looked at Mu Han, "You have a chance to make a comeback." ”

～～

Qing Ling, Luo Yao, and Bai Liyu followed all the way down in the direction of Fang Shanlei and the others' evacuation.

Qing Ling's eyes widened, and he subconsciously raised his hand to cover his mouth. Everywhere you look, there are fires everywhere, and the smoke is steaming, mixed with the cries and cries of the people.

The other party should have used some powerful artifact, plus a master of controlling the fire spirit, to create the tragic scene of this burning field.

The towns and trade roads that she and Luo Yao had built up little by little after years of hard work were relocated to nearby villages, shops, markets, farms and orchards because of the peace talks and the New Deal, and all of them were wiped out in the scorching sea of fire overnight!

Along with it, there are also those Jiuqiu immigrants who hope to improve their lives and bring their families to the north. Their hope, their lives......

Luo Yao sent the sergeant to extinguish the fire and save people in a deep voice, and at the same time slightly grabbed Qingling's shoulder to calm her emotions.

However, the two of them knew very well in their hearts that this battle, no matter whether Chao Yan was defeated or won, for the two of them, they had already lost miserably!

chased all the way to their manor in Wutong Town, and lost the trace of Fang Shanlei and others.

Luo Yao's mind was sharp, and he went straight to the pool in the back garden, looked around, frowned, and said, "They broke the formation here. ”

Not only did it break the formation, but it also sealed the entrance here from the inside, making it impossible to open it again.

Bai Liyu didn't know the mystery behind this pool formation, but after all, he was a master of cultivating water system exercises, and he could see that this was about a passage when he looked left and right, and not long ago, he let people open and seal it with divine power. He studied for a moment and said to Luo Yao: "Although the power of the other party's ban is strong, with the strength of you and me, it should be able to be reopened." ”

Luo Yao's mind was full of thoughts, and he suddenly heard his father speak, and understood that he intended to help, and couldn't help but be secretly surprised.

However, in addition to the surprise, there is still a deep worry.

At this point, the other party's intentions are already very clear.

I'm afraid......

Luo Yao turned to look at Qing Ling, and saw that she was facing the pool at the moment, with her back to herself, and her shoulders seemed to be trembling slightly.

Luo Yao knew that the fire outside the town had destroyed Qingling's mental strength and commitment for several years, and it was a great blow to her. The people who died in the fire, the guilt and guilt that arose from it, and the various grudges with Mu Han in the past were intertwined, which was enough to make her emotionally uncontrollable at this moment.

The situation is urgent, so there is no need to hesitate. Luo Yao summoned the accompanying generals and instructed them to quickly lead the troops to the border pass outside the town to send a message to the Jiuqiu garrison, and at the same time secretly sent a message to Nian Ying with his divine sense: "My father and I will join forces to open the formation in the pool, you must guard Qingling and prevent her from traveling with us." ”

After explaining, Luo Yao and Bai Liyu each stood in their respective positions, and opened the hidden passage in the pool from both sides.

Qing Ling has lived in this manor for several years, often entering and exiting through the secret passage in the pool, and naturally knows that the other end of the passage is the palace of Jiuqiu Zhangyao. Like Luo Yao, she was confused by Mu Han and Fang Shanlei's intentions, but soon, the thoughts in her mind were disturbed by the anger rising in her chest.

If the New Deal is where she devotes her efforts, then this manor in Wutong Town is her place to rest and be happy. Since getting married, this is the first time she has her own home in the true sense. The newly built flower hall and kitchen at the end of the water pavilion were designed by her and built by Luo Yao personally led by craftsmen. Every grass, tree, flower and tree in the garden has witnessed the intimacy and happiness of the two of them over the years. In summer, they sit by the water, lean on each other, and sit around the fireside in winter, laughing and laughing.

And now, although the fire on the side of the flower hall has been extinguished, damage is inevitable, and the surrounding area of the pool has long been a mess because of the trampling and attacking of many people before. Broken flowers and grass, full of smoke and dust.

The curtain she hung with her own hands on the water pavilion was torn by someone, and a cut of yarn fell, floating helplessly in the wind......

Qing Ling secretly clenched her fists, and in her mind, all she had turned over and over were the new and old hatreds between her and Mu Han.

Nian Ying on the side, while paying attention to the opening of the seal, quietly approached Qingling and paid attention to her every move.

Under the control of Bailiyu's father and son, the pool gradually tore open a crack, and in the center of the tumbling water wave, a rapidly rotating whirlpool was formed.

Qing Ling stared at the water vortex, his clenched fist slowly loosened, but his toes secretly used his strength.

In terms of the ability to crack the formation, she was indeed far inferior to many Protoss masters. But as a disciple of Chongwu, he has studied and memorized thousands of ancient books and classics since he was a child, and his judgment and eyesight are not far behind.

She knew that Luo Yao didn't want her to get into danger. If it weren't for the stubborn fight herself, plus Bai Liyu's persuasion, Luo Yao would never have taken her to track Fang Shanlei and the others all the way here.

So now......

Qing Ling stared at the center of the pool, seeing the rift gradually stretch, and the squeezed sealing divine power was about to rebound. She suddenly jumped up, and at some point she had already held the glowing Qingyun Sword in her hand, and her body was led by the sword light, and in an instant, she broke into the vortex!

Nian Ying reacted and reached out to stop her, but she was finally a step too late. Luo Yao could also see clearly on the side, but he couldn't interrupt the force, and could only watch Qing Ling's figure disappear in the water wave divine light.

Who would have thought that before the seal was opened, she would use the divine power of the Qingyun Sword to slash in?

～～

At the other end of the passage is a remote palace in the palace of Zhangyao.

The moment Qing Lingyue came out, he already felt that something was wrong. At first, I thought that my divine consciousness was damaged due to my forced use of divine power, but after I put away the Qingyun Sword dizzily, I still felt that the scenery around me was shaking violently, and the floor tiles under my feet were also undulating.

She left the temple and ran quickly up the stone steps.

The structure of the Zhangyao palace is peculiar, the stone steps sometimes go up and sometimes down, and the light is also bright and obscure, one moment is the daylight that penetrates from the outside, and the other moment is only the flickering candlelight, and at this moment, among these lights and shadows, there seem to be some more other colors.

Qingling was familiar with the road, and went straight to the dormitory where Luo Jia lived on weekdays.

Along the way, there were many corpses of palace people, most of whom were killed with one blow. It can be seen that this sudden killing really caught them off guard.

Qing Ling's heart was cold, trying not to imagine the worst outcome, but he still couldn't control his regret over and over again, regret that he hadn't sealed the channel that had been exposed earlier, and regret that he couldn't make a correct guess faster!

There were thousands of thoughts racing in her mind, praying that Luo Yao's mother would be safe and sound, and the steps under her feet were unconsciously getting faster and faster.

When passing through a spiraling upward corridor, several arrows mixed with divine power suddenly popped out from the side. Qing Ling subconsciously turned around to dodge, but was dragged by his arm from behind and pulled into a stone house in the corridor!

Qing Ling didn't have time to think about it, so he instantly unsealed the Qingyun Sword and reflexively slashed down.

The other party jumped back to defend himself, but his voice was dark and complicated: "You...... How did it come? ”

Passing over the cyan sword light, Qing Ling saw the face of the person on the other side clearly, and the strength in his hand unconsciously decreased a few points, "Fang Shan Lei? ”
