Qingling and Luo Yao agreed to meet at the post house in two days.

However, in the afternoon of the same day, an uninvited guest found the post house early and came to visit.

If it were someone else, Qing Ling would probably find an excuse to refuse. But the inscription of the words "Queen of Yuzhong" on the prayer post made her heart move, recalling that day her aunt's eyes were full of misery and sadness, hesitated for a moment, and went downstairs to the flower hall of the post house.

Both the imperial daughter of the dynasty and the chess pieces in the hands of the emperor Hao, Qing Ling knew the pain in Gu Yue's heart very well. Now that she is desperate and has betrayed her relatives, she must have begged all those who could ask for it. Although Qing Ling didn't know what she could do to help her, she was unwilling to refuse her visit in this situation.

Emperor Gu Yuechang was still dressed in plain clothes and her face was pale, but the scars left on her forehead when she asked to see Emperor Hao in the military camp had faded, and she seemed a little more energetic.

Qing Ling stepped forward to salute, "Why did my aunt come to Luancheng?" Not many people knew about her trip, and they didn't know where Emperor Gu Yuechang had inquired about.

Gu Yue smiled gently, with the unique kindness of an elder woman, "After I meet Brother Wang, I should return to Yuzhong." Passing by Luancheng today, I happened to hear that you were here, so I took a look. ”

She walked in secrecy, and she left her face behind and came with the purpose of begging for forgiveness, and it was not good to travel with great fanfare after a country, so she took a carriage and came and went as an ordinary person.

Qing Ling nodded, sat down in the hall with Gu Yue, and asked, "Aunt has gained something from meeting my father this time?" ”

Gu Yuemoth frowned slightly, shook her head with a wry smile, "I have long guessed that this trip will be fruitless, but I have to try it after all." ”

Qing Ling knew Emperor Hao's mind very well, and understood that it was impossible for him to give up the opportunity to unify the Eastern Continent because of the love of his brother and sister, so he could only say with relief: "Although my father is resolute in political affairs, he will not take care of family affection at all. In the future, no matter what, I think he will eventually open up to his aunt and cousins. ”

Gu Yue thought of her children, and couldn't help but look miserable, "It's just the people next to me, it's just that my Ling'er is the prince of Yuzhong......"

Yan Ye has never mobilized a single soldier, just because he was charged with attempting to rebel, he implicated the entire royal family and was imprisoned. And Yuzhong has long been guilty of assassinating the emperor and the demon of the side association, and he has always refused to accept softness, once the country is destroyed, I am afraid that the end will be more miserable than the leaves.

Gu Yue continued to say slowly: "Ling'er's father has always been wary of me, and the more I persuade him, the more he has to do the opposite. If he is willing to descend the morning flames, he will not affect the children......"

She paused, took out a silk handkerchief from her sleeve, and gently printed it to moisten the corners of her eyes.

Qing Ling instructed Nian Hong to serve refreshments, and said to Gu Yue, "I know that my aunt is worried about my cousin's safety. Cousin Ke Ling is his father's nephew after all, so he will not be in danger of his life. ”

Gu Yue raised her glass and took a sip of tea, suppressed her emotions, and smiled at Qing Ling, "I knew that you were a kind child. Looking around, "Baili Shizi, aren't you there?" ”

Qing Ling hesitated and said, "There are some business tax matters that need to be dealt with. I was not good at it, so I let my sons go for me. ”

She originally wanted to lie that Luo Yao was sick, but she was afraid that Gu Yue would want to visit.

After all, Gu Yue is an elder in the clan, and she is not good at refusing harshly, and when she pushes the prevarication, it is inevitable that she will show her feet and make people suspicious. Therefore, he simply generously admitted that Luo Yao was not in the inn.

Fortunately, Gu Yue did not stop on this topic, and after chatting a few words, she sighed and said, "Now the people of the Chaoyan family are avoiding me like a plague. It's just you......"

She reached out and grabbed Qing Ling's hand and caressed it in her palm, "I really didn't know anything about stabbing you in the first place. Although Yuzhong is a small country, there are many ambitious courtiers and families. Some people are really unable to prevent it. ”

Qing Ling said, "I understand. Presumably, someone listened to the adulterer's instigation and ......"

Halfway through her words, she suddenly retracted, and her body was restrained by a sudden powerful force, and she couldn't move for half a minute!

Gu Yue still lowered her eyes, confirming that the flame spirit sealed in the ring had been completely sent into Qing Ling's body, and said quietly: "In this world, the most difficult thing to prevent and the most difficult to guard against is your own relatives. ”

She slowly raised her eyes, the cold and sharp color in her dark eyes was similar to that of Emperor Hao, and she looked indifferently at Qing Ling, whose consciousness was gradually dissipating, "If you want to blame, blame you for having a vicious father." He plotted to murder my brother, usurped the throne of Chaoyan, ruined my life's happiness, and now he wants to take the lives of one of my children. I have done this mercifully. ”

In the confusion, Qing Ling only felt that his internal organs were wrapped in a wisp of burning power, squeezing out a sharp pain. However, she could not move, nor could she make a sound, and her consciousness was soon drowned in a boundless darkness.

～～

I don't know how long it took for Qing Ling to begin to realize again.

The pain in her body is still there, but it no longer restricts her consciousness and movement.

She slowly opened her eyes, and where she saw it, there was a blood-red light.

The light is not dazzling, it is soft and faint, covering the sky and the earth, and after seeing it for a long time, it makes people more and more dizzy.

Qing Ling endured the pain, slowly stood up, and found himself on top of a lonely cliff, with no sunlight around, only the blood-red light.

In addition to herself, there were several unconscious people lying on the cliff.

Qing Ling recognized Nian Hong, moved to her with difficulty, touched her face, and called in a dumb voice: "Nian Hong...... Nian Hong......"

Nian Hong was lifeless, and her internal breath was weak. Qing Ling probed her consciousness and found that her life was in danger at this time.

Several other people around her were also the guards who accompanied her south to Luancheng this time, including many elite masters personally selected by Mu Chen, but all of them were also on the verge of death right now.

The place beneath your feet is like an island standing in a halo of fire. Below, there is an endless, steaming abyss of red light, and above, there is a world that is also blood-red. Everything around was coated with a strange red light.

Qing Ling looked into everyone's inner breath one by one, and gradually realized that except for herself, everyone's divine power was swallowed by another powerful force.

This power ...... It's both strange and somewhat familiar......

Like ...... Away from the god-devouring power on the whip of hatred!

Demons?

Two words popped into Qing Ling's mind.

That's not right, the demons have been extinct for an unknown number of years.

Here, what is the bottom of the place?

Why is it that the magic here only devours the divine power of others, but he is safe?

She suppressed her mixed thoughts, and recited the trick to unseal the Qingyun Sword.

She tried to urge the divine power, and wanted to use the Qingyun Sword to lay down the defensive barrier, but the power that entwined the viscera in her body restrained the exertion of the divine power, even if she forced herself to sweat profusely, she couldn't use any strength.

She had no choice but to put away the Qingyun Sword, find the unicorn jade card in her arms, and stuff it into Nian Hong's clothes.

After a while, Qing Ling once again probed everyone's internal breath, and saw that although Nian Hong's divine power had slowed down, it still hadn't stopped. Among the guards, two people have already died.

She became anxious, unsealed the imperial organ, sealed it into Nianhong's body, and put the blue bracelet that Chun Yuyan gave her on her wrist, hoping to play a little more role in hindering the magic power.

There was silence all around, except for the faint and faint breath of the fallen people, there was no sound.

The blood-red halo was heavier and more chaotic than the darkness.

There is no hope, no future.

Every once in a while, a person's consciousness freezes and cools, and they can't wake up again.

Just like that night outside the Casting Ding Stage, the lives of the fourth senior brothers disappeared little by little in their own hands......

life

Is it coming to an end?

In this demonic realm where I don't even know the name......

Qing Ling hugged his knees, curled up and sat down, gradually falling into cold despair.

I don't know how long I sat like this, so long that I lost consciousness of the pain in my body, and suddenly a wisp of breeze floated around me, with a familiar and clear breath, slightly stirring the hair on her sideburns.

Qing Ling lifted his head from his knees.

Luo Yao held the Xuanting Sword in his hand, and suddenly fell to her side, bending down to support her shoulder, "Qing Ling!" ”

"Little Seven!"

Qing Lingru saw his closest relatives, the corners of his eyes suddenly sour, and his voice couldn't help but choke slightly.

Luo Yao half-knelt on the ground and helped her to look at her carefully, "Are you okay?" Are there any injuries? ”

Qing Ling shook his head, "I'm fine." Pointing to Nianhong next to him, "You save Nianhong!" ”

Luo Yao stepped forward and grabbed Nian Hong's wrist and probed for a moment, then put away the Xuanting Sword and slowly injected divine power into her body.

After a while, Nianhong woke up quietly.

"Shizi, Emperor, you ......"

Nian Hong's breath was still very weak, and she could only barely sit up with her body. She rubbed her head and said in a daze, "What is this place?" I remember...... Just now, Gu Yuechang's people knocked us unconscious......"

Luo Yao put his palm against Nianhong's back, lost some spiritual power for her, and then said solemnly: "Don't talk yet, keep your true qi." He looked at Qing Ling and continued: "This is Zhuo Yuan of Zhong Qi Kingdom, and it is the cultivation place of the demon clan in the past. We must get out as soon as possible, or the Divine Consciousness will be slowly devoured. ”

The other people lying on the cliff had already been devoured of their divine power because they didn't have an artifact to protect their bodies. Nian Hong relied on his not weak cultivation, coupled with the spiritual power attached to the unicorn jade plate and the royal organ, to save his life.

Luo Yao supported one person with one hand and helped Qingling and Nianhong stand up.

Qing Ling asked, "How do we get out?" ”

Luo Yao pondered for a moment, "Can you still control the Qilin Mount?" ”

Qing Ling hesitated, nodded, took out the jade plate from Nian Hong, and threw it out.

The glow of the sun appeared, and the unicorn beast with blue and white fur and colorful mane jumped out, shaking its head excitedly.

The three of them got on the unicorn.

Luo Yao unsealed the Xuanting Sword and said to Qing Ling: "I will use the Xuanting Sword to split the enchantment of Zhuoyuan." You see the right time and go all out to control the unicorn and fly out! ”

Qing Ling answered, slowly leaned down, and stretched out his arms to wrap around Qilin's neck.

The unicorn rises in the wind and slowly rises into the air.

Luo Yao raised Xuan Ting, used his body divine power to open the aura in the sword, and hit the top sky.

The Xuanting Sword is one of the four great swords of the ancients, and it is also a special weapon used by the ancient god of war Bi Biao to fight against the demon clan, and it has an extremely powerful suppressive power against the spiritual power of the demon clan and the demon clan.

The condensed beam of spiritual power slashed towards the blood-red barrier of the blanching abyss, provoking a dazzling golden red light.

Luo Yao used ten percent of his cultivation to exert the power of the Xuanting Sword to the limit, and slowly pulled out a gap in the enchantment.

Qing Ling bit his lip and drove the Qilin to rise rapidly, flying towards the gap.

When the light returned, both of them did their best.

Luo Yao had already spent a lot of effort when he entered Zhuo Yuan, and at this moment, he split the enchantment again, and he couldn't help but sweat the tips of his hair and turn pale.

Qing Ling's face was even more ugly.

She used the last of her strength to control the unicorn and fly away from Zhuoyuan, but the person suddenly collapsed.

Nian Hong pounced on and hugged Qing Ling, "Emperor Ji, what's wrong with you?" Yes! Oh, my God! ”

She took Qing Ling's hand, only to see a hideous wound on her wrist, bubbling with blood.
