Chapter 23: Falling into a Dream
The guards got out of the way, and the old man entered the White Dragon Palace, and Ling Xuan relaxed his vigilance.
Ling Xuan thought that all the core people who participated in the meeting should have arrived, and now he just had to wait for the meeting to end and send them to each other safely.
After a while, Ling Xuan felt that it was not superfluous for so many Sage Realm powerhouses to have so many guards.
The meeting was ongoing, and two hours passed quickly.
During this time, the surrounding guards did not let their guard down, and they were always in a state of full attention.
At the end of the meeting, three strong men walked out, the head of the Third Military Region, the head of the First Military Region, and the Sage of the Wind. Then came out of the sedan chair with ten people.
Three strong men stood beside the beast cart, and ten internal figures got into the car. The Royal Knights returned to their original positions and followed behind the beast cart. Then several other strong men walked out, following closely behind the Knights.
Ling Xuan led the team to follow behind the strong man, and there was a team of people further behind, who were peacekeepers like Ling Xuan.
The long line was advancing, and Ling Xuan felt that there should be no enemy attack this time!
In the middle of the team, Zhou Xun showed a solemn expression, and Luo Yi next to him said, "What's wrong, are you okay?"
The old man in the carriage next to the two said, "There's space distorting. ”
Zhou Xun nodded, and Luo Yi was stunned. It seems that the other Sages have sensed it, and the space here is slowly distorting. The distortion was getting bigger and bigger, and even Ling Xuan could feel it.
"Be careful, everyone, there's an enemy attack!" shouted the Wind Sage.
The sound traveled far away, and even the back of the team could be heard clearly, which was related to the soul of the Wind Sage. Blowing with the wind, the sound is not a disease, but the hearer is prominent. That's probably the effect.
All the staff entered a state of combat readiness, Ling Xuan took out his spear and clenched it in his hand. Everyone behind Ling Xuan also clenched their weapons and was ready to fire at any time.
The team had stopped advancing, and Zhou Xun had cast a layer of spatial shield on the beast cart.
At this moment, the sky changed dramatically, the clouds were thick, the earth trembled, and the stones of the road inlaid with stones began to loosen.
"Whoever attacks, don't get out quickly!" shouted the Wind Sage.
In an instant, the heavens and the earth cracked, and a huge crack pierced through the Great Dao, and all the strong except the Sages were among them. The space shield that Zhou Xun exerted didn't seem to have any effect, and the beast cart fell into it.
"Those who are corrupt will be destroyed!" said the woman in the dark.
Immediately after, the thunder fell and slashed towards the crack in the avenue, and several sages used secret techniques, but to no avail. The lightning was extremely fast, and even the Sage of the Wind could not do anything about it. I heard a loud bang, and everything was silent again.
The space distorted again, the dark clouds dispersed, everyone woke up like a big dream, everything in front of them did not change, the avenue played as before, the huge crack did not exist, everything was like a dream.
"Check the casualties quickly. "The Wind Sage speaks.
The head of the first military region personally ran to the back, inspecting the animal carts one by one, and by the time the fourth car arrived, the people inside were already scorched, and the old chief reached out to feel it, and he had already breathed and his pulse was gone.
......
When Ling Xuan and the personnel he led returned to the headquarters of the peacekeeping force, it was already late at night.
Meeting of several key personnel of the peacekeeping force.
"I didn't expect the attacker to be so strong, even a strong man like the Wind Sage was helpless. One of the officials said.
"The interior of Skylight City will not be blamed for the failure of this defense, after all, the attackers this time are unimaginably powerful. The old chief said.
"That person didn't show up, but except for the Void Saint King, there is no second person in the entire Illusory Realm who can have such spatial cultivation, it should be the Void Saint King's doing. An official said.
Several people pondered, and one of the officials said: "The Void Saint King doesn't care about the world, he is already a reclusive person, so he shouldn't interfere. You must know that the Void Saint King is a native of Yuzhou, and the person who shot it today said that 'those who are corrupt will be destroyed by heaven and earth', if the one who was killed is really a corrupt person, do you think it will still be him?"
"That person is the chancellor of the exchequer in Yongzhou, and if he is corrupt, it will never be a small amount. If it's really corrupt, I'd rather have him die. The Ministry of Intelligence official added, "Now the top officials of Longzhou have begun to investigate the chancellor of the exchequer who was hacked to death by lightning, and the results will be available soon." ”
"Here's a summary of the shortcomings of this guard. The old chief said.
Then several officials began to raise what they considered inadequate.
At the end of the meeting, several officials left one after another. There was nothing shy about such a meeting, the staff could listen to the whole process, even Ling Xuan sat next to him and listened carefully.
Ling Xuan really wanted to ask the chief for leave and rush to Longyun Town, but thinking about it, it would be the same to come back tomorrow, so let's ask for it tomorrow.
When Ling Xuan returned to his residence, it was already late at night. Lying on the bed, thinking of the calamity that the Ling family was about to face, he tossed and turned, unable to sleep.
The day after tomorrow is the day of her niece Ling Wanyu's awakening, and it is also the day when the secret room opens. On this day, the family catastrophe was on this day, and my father did not agree not to open the secret room, and this catastrophe was inevitable.
The more he thought about this, the more Ling Xuan couldn't sleep, and before it happened, he was already slightly flustered in his heart.
He thought of the scene after the Ling family was breached, and also thought of what to do after the Ling family fled?
"What do you think!" Ling Xuan muttered to himself, tapping his head with both hands to dismiss these ridiculous thoughts.
Turning over and over again, you can't forget it for a long time. But finally I fell asleep.
In his sleep, Ling Xuan returned to Longyun Town and returned to Ling Mansion.
Ling Xuan stood at the foot of the stone steps at the main entrance of the Ling Mansion, looking at this familiar place. There were no guards outside the door, and a thought came to mind - the Ling family had been washed in blood.
He slowly stepped up the stone steps and pushed open the gate of the Ling Mansion. The courtyard in front of me was empty, and there was no one in it. He continued to walk forward, approaching the middle courtyard, but there was still no one. Those years have become heavier and heavier.
"Xuan!"
A middle-aged man's voice came from behind Ling Xuan. This voice Ling Xuan was very, that was Ling Nuo, he was sure that he would not misjudge.
Ling Xuan slowly turned his head, afraid to see Ling Nuo's miserable body. However, in fact, it was not what Ling Xuan thought, Ling Nuo was neatly dressed, and he didn't look like he had been attacked.
"It's good that you're okay. Ling Xuan was very excited, and said, "Sorry, I'm late." ”
Ling Nuo smiled and said, "What do you say, my father promised not to open the secret room, the family has not been attacked, and it is as peaceful as ever." ”
Ling Xuan was puzzled and asked, "Then why didn't there be a doorman, and why didn't there be a person in the courtyard?"
Ling Nuo smiled kindly and said, "That's because ......"
Before he finished speaking, a blood-colored big knife slashed down, Ling Nuo's body was split in half, and blood splattered onto Ling Xuan's hand.
"Brother!" Ling Xuan shouted, his eyes were wet, the spear was already in his hand, and he rushed towards the black shadow.
