This sentence came out of the innkeeper's mouth, and everyone was stunned. Only Ruan Lin didn't, her eyes began to brighten, and she seemed to see the hope of being accepted.

"You have to remember that there is never a right or wrong in a conflict of power, and as long as you don't kill innocent people, it's not evil. ”

"I see. Ruan Lin nodded lightly, although it was light, but it was very solemn.

"Okay, brothers, don't rest, just after the calamity, although everyone is tired, they have to send the sacrificed brothers away first. Li Xunlian glanced at the place where the gold enchantment dissipated, not long ago, there were still many living brothers standing there. Now, in the blink of an eye, they have not even left the corpse capital, and only a puff of gold dust has long dissipated into the air.

When everyone heard this, their faces were solemn, and they followed Li Xunlian to kneel on the ground, sincerely praying for the dead brothers.

......

Due to Zhang Songxi's reasons, Qiancheng had become an empty city before Li Xunlian and others arrived. Of course, this so-called empty city does not mean that the city is empty, but that the garrison in the city has already been forced by Zhang Songxi to be ordered to dismiss the guards, so Li Xunlian and them don't need to bother to capture the city, and they are directly stationed in it.

The next day, the sky was clear and cloudless, and the warm sun poured down from the sky, covering the city and shining on the body of Li Xunlian at the head of the city.

Beside Li Xunlian, Su stood quietly, at this moment they were looking into the distance, no one spoke, and they didn't know what to think in their hearts.

After being silent for a while, Su spoke first: "After statistics, more than 300 brothers were killed in the first battle last night. ”

Li Xunlian nodded, this number was in his expectation, because he had already been mentally prepared, so he didn't have any special reaction at the moment.

"How far is the next city?"

"Three hundred miles, two days of marching at full speed. After answering, Su paused and said, "However, it is said that the barren mountains in the southeast of Qiancheng can reach Dragon Bone City. ”

Hearing this, Li Xunlian frowned, if this statement is true, things will not be simple.

With the strategy of becoming a king, how could he let this shortcut be easily discovered?

"Do you think we should continue to advance steadily, or should we take the risk of reaching Dragon Bone City?" asked Li Xunlian.

"Adventure, go straight to Dragonbone City!" said in a firm tone.

Li Xunlian looked at him and waited for the following.

Su sighed and sighed: "In fact, the statement of adventure is not valid at all, such as the battle last night, who knew that there would be such heavy losses before the war, now Nandi is not just a simple Nandi, there are too many forces mixed in it, a Zhang Songxi almost wiped out our army, Gongzi and think about it, the mysterious person he met outside Zhennan Pass that day, if he wants to do it, we have one and count, who can escape?"

That's right, although Su's statement is a little frustrating, it is an ironclad fact.

The conquest of the Southlands, which at first seemed like a war, had been mixed with too much intrigue and conspiracy. From the Qingxiao Emperor and King Cheng, who are noble people, to the lonely old monsters like the Red Devil, and the mysterious people of unknown origin, many matters are linked, and this conquest has deviated too much from the original intention.

Moreover, Su Ke's sentence is even more correct. What seems to be a steady progress, isn't it another kind of adventure?

There are too many things they can't be sure of, from Hu Wan suddenly falling into the devil at the beginning, to Li Xunlian's encounter with a mysterious person before the battle, to Li Xunlian's rebellion against Zhu Tong, and then to the Southern Sword Saint, Red Devil, and now they have met Zhang Songxi and others, it can be said that every step is more thrilling than expected, and all the variables happen under circumstances that they can't predict at all.

Therefore, choosing a shortcut to Dragon Bone City may seem risky, but in fact it is no different from attacking it steadily.

Nodding, Li Xunlian had already made up his mind, and then changed the topic and asked, "Have you written the letter to the second shopkeeper?" ”

"It has been spread this morning, and it is estimated that in three days at most, the second shopkeeper will come here to meet us. ”

"Okay, when the second shopkeeper comes over, let him take Huanfeng back to Divine Sword Peak to cultivate, and then we can set off and follow the barren mountain path to Dragon Bone City. ”

Su sighed and said, "Speaking of Huanfeng, do you think Ruan Lin is reliable?"

"What do you mean that Huanfeng Ruan Lin is unreliable, you just ask if it's over. In order to alleviate this atmosphere, Li Xunlian joked, and then spit out two words firmly: "Reliable." ”

"I think it's a bit hanging. Su shook his head and said, "I won't hide it from you, and I can't hide it, it has been determined this morning, and Huanfeng's cultivation has plummeted from the peak of Tianhe to the late stage of Lingxi." ”

Silent, Li Xunlian's heart felt like something was suddenly stuffed after hearing this, very blocked.

"It's good that people are fine, and cultivation can still be found through cultivation after all. After a moment, Li Xunlian comforted himself.

Su nodded, "That's true, it's just ......"

"Just what?!" Li Xun was even taken aback, his previous words were already self-comforting, but this time he heard another sentence, and his heart was like being struck by lightning, for fear that there would be more accidents in the wind.

"Alas!" Su sighed heavily and said, "It's just that the sword mark in the center of Huanfeng's eyebrows has signs of dissipation, and I don't know if this is a sign that the sword slave qualification has disappeared." ”

Hearing this, Li Xunlian's brain buzzed, although he didn't know what the sword slave qualification was, he knew what the sword slave qualification meant to the four sword slaves. If there is anything in this world that can make the four sword slaves defend them at the cost of their lives, it is only him and the sword slave qualifications.

"But what's ...... Solution?"

Su shook his head, "No, maybe I don't know, after all, I haven't experienced this kind of thing, and before that, all the sword slaves have never had a precedent of forcibly launching the power of imprisonment even though they are not strong in their energy." ”

The field fell silent again, and after a long time, Li Xunlian spoke heavily, and said: "What are you hiding from me, what is the matter with the so-called sword slave, does the Four Divine Swords have anything to do with me, and also, my hometown is the Great Li Empire?

This series of questions made Su Qi stunned, "Childe, you heard the ...... between me and Mei Wu that day"

"Yes, I heard it, I was awake at the time. Li Xunlian looked into the distance and said slowly: "Actually, there are some things you don't need to hide from me, although I know that you are for my good, but what you should face, I have to face after all, even if you don't say it, I will lift the fog myself." ”

"Childe, Shu Su can't answer your question, there are too many things you can't imagine, and we know very little, even if you say it, it won't help you much. Su said solemnly.

Li Xunlian knew that Su would not speak, and he was not ready to force it, so he sighed lightly and stopped the topic.

The sky in the distance was blue, and the barren mountains were like a quiet dormant beast, Li Xunlian watched quietly, not knowing what the road ahead would be.

After killing the king, there is only the tip of the iceberg of the demon clan, and the end of the world that is enough to affect the lifeline of Xuanxiu in Kyushu, Li Xunlian doesn't know when it will end, and he doesn't know what these people around him will become when it ends.

Or rather, how many more ...... will be left

He didn't dare to think about it, and besides, he would rather think about it not than him but others, when the time comes, if the people around him leave one after another, Li Xunlian would rather be able to stay unharmed, not him......

I don't know what happened to the second shopkeeper on the road, three days have passed, and he still hasn't rushed here to meet Li Xunlian and others.

However, during this period, Li Xunlian broke through from the late stage of Guxuan to the peak of Guxuan. Speaking of the changes after this breakthrough, two things must be mentioned. First, Li Xunlian clearly felt the enhancement of his body veins, and as his mind flickered, a layer of golden light appeared on the surface of his body. However, he didn't know what the golden light was for, and the Four Sword Slaves didn't give him an answer.

The second is that he tried to pull out the sword again, as he imagined, although he still couldn't pull it out, the length of the sword out of the sheath was obviously increased a little earlier.

This made him wonder if the length of the sword could be increased as long as his realm was raised.

But on closer reflection, this assumption does not seem to be valid. And vaguely, he felt that this sword seemed to have a lot to do with his body.

Of course, this is just an intuition, and Li Xun can't even come up with specific evidence, so he can't be sure.

Speaking of the body, it is another confusing thing. The enhancement of the body vein is undoubtedly continuous, since Li Xunlian stepped into the Enlightenment Realm, every realm improvement will be accompanied by the enhancement of the body vein, but it didn't seem to be obvious before. If you think about it carefully, since he exercised in the heart of the Nujiang River for a period of time, the characteristics of the body veins seem to be revealed.

At that time, Li Xun was even immersed in the inscription, so he didn't pay attention to this change, now think about it, with his cultivation in the Xuan Realm, why did he shuttle back and forth in the huge waves of the Nu River that were difficult to be safe in the Tianhe Realm, not to mention, he also brought a Hu Wan again!

Besides, in the battle four days ago night, without the support of Xuan Qi, Li Xunlian resisted Ruan Lin's strong blow with the Dragon Shadow Sword, which certainly has the credit of the Dragon Shadow Sword Protector, but in the final analysis, the Dragon Shadow Sword is only a holy weapon, but Ruan Lin is a divine sea power, not only that, but the condensation in her hand is the best in the artifact.

At that time, Li Xunlian didn't think much about the emergency, but now that he thinks about it, it is obviously unreasonable.

Moreover, he clearly remembered that when he was impacted, a layer of golden light automatically condensed on the surface of his body, and there were faint ancient characters......

"Could it be that my so-called Emperor Heaven Overlord Body needs to be subjected to a huge impact before it can be revealed? Or can I only improve the ability of the Emperor Heaven Overlord Body by constantly strengthening the impact on myself?"

Thinking like this, Li Xunlian fell into deep thought.

At this moment, the moon is in the sky, the moon is like a veil covering the earth, looking out through the window, the street corners and lanes are quiet.

Suddenly, a dark shadow swept past Li Xunlian's line of sight, fast and with a familiar aura.

Li Xun frowned, and followed out almost at the same time.

In order to save time, Li Xunlian turned out of the window directly, but when he landed, the black shadow was still gone.

After concentrating and perceiving for a moment, the familiar aura was still lingering nearby, but the owner of the aura seemed to be deliberately avoiding Li Xunlian, making the aura flicker away and nearer, although it could not hide it all, but it perfectly concealed the specific movements.

Looking up at the clear moonlight, Li Xun sighed: "It's all here, why don't you show up." ”

Silence, silence all around, no answer.

However, Li Xunlian did not give up, and continued: "Although I don't know what happened to you, no matter what you become, you and I are brothers, even if ...... You have fallen into the devil's path. ”

Come, Hu Wan!

Although Li Xunlian and Hu Wan have only known each other for more than a year, the two have already had a fateful friendship, no matter what Hu Wan becomes, his Xuan Qi fluctuations, Li Xunlian can still clearly perceive it after all.

Rustle rustle......

Footsteps suddenly sounded in the alley on the left, Li Xunlian turned his head to look, and at the end of the dark and gloomy alley, a burly figure slowly appeared.

Li Xunlian knew that it was Hu Wan. But he didn't seem to want to expose himself to the light, so Li Xunlian had no choice but to meet him.

Until the two were about ten zhang apart, Hu Wan suddenly raised his hand to signal Li Xunlian to stop.

frowned, but Li Xunlian didn't care very much, "Where have you been recently?"

There was no response from Huwan.

"Well, since you don't want to say it, don't say it. Li Xunlian waited for a while, and then said: "It's still the same sentence, no matter what you become, we are all brothers, and I also believe that one day you will change back to the original Hu Wan, so don't run away anymore, tomorrow at the latest, the second shopkeeper should arrive, and then you can go back to Shenjian Peak with him." ”

There was still no answer, but Hu Wan, who was in the dark, seemed to tremble slightly.

"I don't want to coax you, because I don't dare to guarantee that the big shopkeeper can cure your ......" Speaking of this, Li Xunlian didn't continue, and deep down in his heart, he was also very evasive about this topic.

"However, if you don't give it a try, how can you know the result, and if you hide in Tibet like you are now, then there is really no way. ”

It seemed that he was accustomed to Hu Wan's silence, Li Xunlian had no choice but to continue to talk to himself: "Go back, if one day you completely fall into the Demon Dao, Divine Sword Peak can at least guarantee your safety." ”

As soon as these words came out, Hu Wan's figure shook suddenly. He finally spoke, and his tone was a little choked: "If I become an evil in the face of blood, a demon who kills people without blinking, will you continue to treat me as a brother?"

"Yes. Li Xunlian replied very simply.

"Hehe, do you believe this yourself?" For some reason, Hu Wan suddenly became upset and sneered: "In Yuzhou City that day, I believe you also saw it in the end, I will peel the skin and bones of the dead Nandi Sword Saint, in order to improve my cultivation, this kind of tragic evil happened in front of you, as the inn boy, didn't you want to punish me at that time and kill me?"

"I don't want to. Li Xunlian's answer was still very simple.

"Why, isn't it all a lie that you keep saying that morality comes first?" Hu Wan took a step forward, his tone excited.

Li Xunlian frowned slightly, he didn't know why Hu Wan reacted like this, but what he said just now was indeed in his heart. To tell the truth, in fact, that night, Li Xunlian had no morality in his head at all, his mind was full of how to save Hu Wan from the devil's way, as for the so-called morality, get out of the way, when he saw his brother fall into such a situation, Li Xunlian knew that morality was just a pastime where everyone was okay and his feelings were on weekdays......

Perhaps, it is a bit too much to describe it as a pastime, but the fact is that even the brothers and relatives around you can't take care of it, what morality do you talk about, and what mood do you have to uphold the morality of other people's families?

"Hu Wan, I'm not afraid to tell you the truth. If one day you become a murderer, I will kill it with my own hands. However, this is not for any morality, but I don't want to see you sinking, and after killing you, I will also go with you. Li Xunlian's voice was very low, but his tone was firm and sincere.

Hearing this, Hu Wan sighed as relieved and said, "In this way, I will rest assured." One day I will die at your hands, but you must not be ashamed of this, because you have done the most correct thing, and it is also what your brother, Lao Hu wants you to do the most. ”

After saying this, the audience fell silent again. But when Li Xunlian looked up, Hu Wan's figure had disappeared into the night.

"Hu Wan, go back, we will definitely have a way!"

Li Xunlian roared hard at the vast night, and from Hu Wan's words, Li Xunlian seemed to hear some strange emotions.

In fact, Li Xunlian knew that Hu Wan must still be nearby, and he would definitely be able to hear it, but to Li Xunlian's surprise, Hu Wan actually gave him an affirmative answer-

"I can't go back, and soon after, I will be a great cultivator, and then Kyushu will fall into a catastrophe in my hands, no one can stop me, and neither can the big treasurer, if you have the opportunity at that time, kill me! ”

This time, Hu Wan really left, because Li Xunlian could no longer feel the familiar breath.

After Hu Wan left, Li Xunlian was stunned for a long time. He didn't know why Hu Wan said this, but he knew that what Hu Wan said would definitely come true, maybe tonight, it was Hu Wan who deliberately came to say goodbye to himself, not to say goodbye to where he left here, but to say goodbye to his original self and his original brother......

......

After returning to the residence, it was already the night back, Li Xunlian lay on the bed for a long time and couldn't sleep, at this moment he had been slightly relieved from his previous emotions, and after calming down, he thought of a crucial point.

Hu Wanneng said this to him, obviously in a state of self-control, but since he can control himself, why didn't he take this opportunity to ask Li Xunlian for help, but used this method to tell Li Xunlian that he must not keep his hand in the future?

Could it be that his mind has been gradually eroded by some mysterious force, which has made him himself begin to waver, and he has begun to pursue what he calls the power that is enough to plunge Kyushu into a catastrophe?

Rubbing his eyebrows fiercely, Li Xun even felt that his head was going to blow up, things happened one after another, and the people around him suffered accidents one after another, this feeling was more uncomfortable than death.

Turned over and got up and took out a pen and paper, if there is anyone who can soothe Li Xunlian's heart now, then there is only Gu Panxi who has a voice and a smile that always lingers in his mind.

Lifting the pen, Li Xunlian suddenly didn't know what to write, as he used to joke, he was really in no mood now.

After thinking about it for a long time, Li Xunlian finally put away the pen and paper, he was afraid that the letterhead he wrote now would have strong emotions, and Gu Panxi would definitely worry about him when he read it.

In this way, he sat all night until dawn, until the sun rose in the east and the first rays of dawn entered the house, and Li Xunlian collected his heavy emotions.

It's not because the mood gets better at dawn, but because he has to face other people after dawn, and now everyone's mood is too heavy, and he can't let this atmosphere spread indefinitely, otherwise, everyone's mentality will collapse sooner or later.

Today, Li Xunlian gathered everyone together early, not to deploy a strategy, not to formulate a route, but to drink and talk!

Ordered people to buy a hundred pigs and sheep in the city, melons, fruits and vegetables mellow old wine supply in sufficient quantities, all the guards of the city were transferred back, and the people on duty suspended patrols, today, everyone only needs to drink, like when Li Yue Xiaozhu was built, let go of the amount, and drink and chat with an open heart!

At first, everyone didn't know why, and there were even many people who objected, after all, they had just experienced a terrible battle, and everyone still had a stone in their hearts.

However, Li Xunlian made a decision this time, he must drink, he must drink boldly with confidence, regardless of his mother's southern expedition or northern expedition, Zhang Songxi or Li Songxi, and his mother's keel city gambling contract, today is to relax, that is, to let the stones that everyone press in their hearts be broken!

The hearts of the brothers are also very heavy, it's okay not to drink, once the wine is in the stomach, the emotions are completely mobilized by the alcohol, and for a while everyone has mixed feelings, and they have told the bitterness in their hearts.

How many people lost their brothers in the big battle a few nights ago, and they really needed a big drunk to release it.

As time passed, the atmosphere of the banquet gradually improved, and the alcohol paralyzed people's nerves, making them less painful. Yes, there are indeed brothers who have unfortunately died, but there are hundreds of brothers, what's the use of sadness, drink today, and take revenge with a sword tomorrow, this is a man's demeanor!

This banquet lasted from noon to the night after, in fact, Li Xunlian didn't know when the banquet ended, his amount of alcohol was not very good, he was unconscious halfway through yesterday, and there was Mei Wu like him, although she was a woman, but many times she was more temperamental than men.

The next day was close to noon, Li Xunlian woke up leisurely, and after waking up, Su came over and told him that the second shopkeeper had arrived here.

Li Xunlian hurriedly washed his face, and then went to meet with the second shopkeeper.
