Chapter 128: Phoenix Tree
Qin Zhaoshi also had two black-clothed guards by his side, both of whom hid their figures in the wide black clothes, and their heads were also shrunk under the hood, making it difficult to see clearly, which looked particularly mysterious. However, those two were also the same as Qin Zhaoshi, silently staring at the Sword Immortal City at the soles of their feet. It's just that there are only two flames on the clothes of the two, and it seems that the status is below Qin Zhaoshi.
After a long time, he saw that the team of the Five Peerless Sects had disappeared at the gate, and was entertained by the disciples of Sword Immortal City in the Welcome Building. At this time, the taller of the two spoke: "Venerable Qin, we have already done what the palace master has explained. My two brothers have already investigated and understood, and the heart of the fire element of the glazed pure karmic fire is pressed under the sword tower in the center of Sword Immortal City. However, there was a person in the sword tower who deliberately exuded a fierce momentum, as if to warn the two of us. My two brothers were afraid to approach for fear of startling the snakes. ”
Qin Zhaoshi followed the direction that the man said, slowly lengthened his gaze, and saw the forest of sword towers in the north of Sword Immortal City. These sword towers add up to three hundred and sixty, and they operate according to the heavens, earth and stars, posing as a Zhou Tian Star Dou Great Array. And the place where the glazed pure karma fire suppressed in that person's mouth was the center of this week's Heavenly Star Dou Great Array, the Ziwei Star Palace.
"You mean, someone there has already found the Glass Pure Karmic Fire in advance? He also calculated that on the fifth day of the fifth month of the fifth month, the glazed pure karmic fire was about to break through the underground palace, and the sky and the earth were surging, so he wanted to take that little bit of fire yuan's heart? Qin Zhaoshi's brows furrowed deeply, and he said, "However, except for the palace master in this world, who else can count this?" ”
The two of them behind him also looked at each other, and they were also puzzled, and they didn't dare to talk nonsense.
Qin Zhaoshi was silent for a moment, and suddenly a figure flashed in his mind, and then murmured, "Could it be the sword god Dongfang Haobai?" But then, Qin Zhaoshi immediately rejected this speculation. Impossible, if the sword god Dongfang Haobai is in the Sword Immortal City, shocking Xiaoxiao, who in the world would dare to fight the idea of this glazed pure karmic fire? ”
"But if it's not Dongfang Haobai, who is it?" Qin Zhaoshi couldn't figure it out.
Except for Dongfang Haobai, who in the world dares to hold it up so much, waiting for the heavenly fire to come to the world? At such a juncture, it is by no means beyond the control of ordinary people. The power of that day's fire was absolutely unimaginable. Qin Zhaoshi cultivated the way of the Fire Yuan and understood this better than anyone else. As a result, he became more and more incomprehensible.
At this moment, suddenly, a wild goose flew out of the sky quietly and stopped in the air in front of the three of them. The wild goose flapped its wings gently, and its red eyes were full of wisdom as if it were human. There was a faint red light in his eyes, and he looked at the three people opposite without blinking.
Qin Zhaoshi stretched out his hand, and the wild goose spun around and stopped on Qin Zhaoshi's arm. Hong Yan has a bamboo pipe tied to his feet, and there is a small note in the bamboo pipe. Qin Zhaoshi took out the note and quickly unfolded it. A clear text leaps onto the page.
"The palace master has arrived. Let's get over there! Qin Zhaoshi was slightly startled in his heart, but he said expressionlessly on his face, and at the same time handed the note in his hand to the two people behind him.
"Now that the palace master has arrived, Venerable Qin, let's go and greet the palace master. Venerable Qin joined forces and made great contributions to the palace master, and our brothers would naturally tell the palace master truthfully. When the time comes, Venerable Qin, the identity of the third Venerable, must also be able to move up, and it is impossible to say whether he will become the second Venerable. The tall black-clothed guard read the note, complimented him twice, and passed it on to the other person.
The other person blocked the note thrown over and said, "Since you've already seen it, I don't need to read it!" Let's go and meet the palace master together. Anyway, when I get there, the palace master is free to calculate, and it is useless for me and a few others to think too much here. ”
After the man finished speaking, the three of them flashed and disappeared from the sky!
………… In the distance, in the sword tower in the north of Sword Immortal City, Lone Shadow Xiao picked up the wine jug in his hand, took a sip of spirits, and then chattered, the smile on his face became stronger and stronger.
"The praying mantis catches the cicada, and the yellow finch is behind? It's a pity, who is the praying mantis and who is the yellow finch? It's a question worth digging into. After all, it's not me. After laughing, Lone Shadow craned his neck and poured a sip of strong wine, and his throat suddenly burned with comfort.
"Whatever. Whoever is a yellow finch or a praying mantis has nothing to do with me. I just need to put the fire on it, this mantis yellow finch, in the end, is a pinch of loess! Lone Shadow laughed a few times, and casually closed the windows on the sword tower one by one. But he no longer looks at the scenery outside the window.
………… Outside the Guiyuan Building, there were more than 100 core disciples of Sword Immortal City, guarding outside. Their waists were straight, their faces were solemn, and the swords in their hands were clenched tightly, with a solemn expression.
In the Guiyuan Building, Li Tianhuan and Lin Xibai sat on a high place, and at the bottom sat the four inner hall masters of Sword Immortal City - Vermilion Bird, White Tiger, Qinglong, and Xuanwu.
"Now that everyone is here, I won't talk nonsense. I have written down the details on a blank piece of paper in front of you. Today, I called you here to let you assign your respective tasks when the time comes! Li Tianhuan, who was sitting on the main seat, spoke.
Qinglong, Vermilion Bird, White Tiger, and Xuanwu all nodded and did not refute. Li Tinghuan is in charge of Wanjian Tower, although he can't directly lead the inner hall of Sword Immortal City, but now, when internal and external troubles are in place, Li Qianhuan's seniority is there, and he can only preside over it.
After reading the content on the white paper in front of them, the four of them saw that the sword god had disappeared, and the five peerless sects had united with other sects to do wrong, and their faces had changed greatly. But fortunately, they are also considered to be princes, and they have seen many battles, and they have not overstretched, but they still feel shocked in their hearts.
"The ancestor actually disappeared? Uncle Xiaoshi, is this true? Qinglong was the first to speak. Qinglong is the great apprentice of the sword god Dongfang Haobai, and he has a special status in the Sword Immortal City, if he is close to Dongfang Haobai, he is even closer to Li Tianhuan. Moreover, in terms of age, he is also a round older than Li Tianhuan.
Li Tinghuan nodded helplessly: "It's true." And, it's been a full decade. I don't mean to hide this from you. It's just that the master left for no reason, and the impact of this matter is too great, if I had said it earlier, I am afraid that it will cause panic under the instability of people's hearts. When the time comes, we will wait for our own chaos to fight, and perhaps before the invasion of foreign enemies, we will lose countless masters in internal fighting. That's why I deliberately concealed my choice not to say it. Here, I, Li Qianhuan, apologize to you first, and please understand my suffering. Li Tianhuan said, and really saluted a few people one by one, very solemn. All four of them returned the salute with their fists clasped.
After Li Tianhuan finished saluting, he continued: "It's just that today, the foreign enemy is on the side, and they are eyeing each other. I will wait for us to work together to keep our homeland, and I don't want to hide it from you anymore. lest you be suspicious of me. Now, my Sword Immortal City is in danger. I, Li Tianhuan, are here, and I implore you to cooperate with me and work together, so that we can tide over the difficulties! After Li Tianhuan finished speaking, he bowed deeply, full of sincerity.
Qinglong, Vermilion Bird, White Tiger, and Xuanwu had solemn faces, but none of them spoke. The stakes are high, and they still need to digest the news they just got.
Seeing this, Li Tianhuan didn't speak, and it wasn't until a long time later that he glanced at the four of them, and saw that the four of them already had an idea, so he continued: "You don't have to worry too much. The other party is menacing, but I, Li Qianhuan, will not sit still. This time, the Five Peerless Sect and Huoyuntian and the Bai Family have joined forces, and the masters are like clouds, to be honest, although our strength is at a disadvantage compared to them. But it's not uncertain. Although there are many super masters on the other side, our Sword Immortal City can't stop them on the front! But we don't have to fight with them! ”
"Take advantage of our numbers? No, if that's your plan, I absolutely don't agree! Every disciple is the most valuable treasure of my Sword Immortal City! I can't allow you to use them as cannon fodder and send them to their deaths! Suzaku suddenly stood up and said! He had already heard what Li Qianhuan meant, this was to fight with the other party, preserve his strength, and contain the other party. But to contain the other party, it is inevitable that someone will contain it. Those who can go will surely die!
The other three also understood the danger of this, but if they didn't, they would be wiped out. All at once they were silent!
"Suzaku, I know you don't like me! And I don't like you either! Your heart is too high, but you shouldn't question me at this time! Li Tanhuan also stood up and looked at Suzaku opposite him.
After Li Tianhuan finished speaking, he glanced at the other three again.
The four people sitting in front of him were the most powerful people in Sword Immortal City. Although he, Li Qianhuan, is the owner of Wanjian Tower, Wanjian Tower has always been external and internal. All the masters under him were sent out to follow Dongfang Ming to the southeast, otherwise, he would not have such a good temper.
Qinglong saw that Li Qianhuan was angry, and he also stretched out his hand, quietly pulled the Suzaku, and signaled him not to speak at this time.
Suzaku frowned, but still gave Qinglong face and sat down.
Li Qianhuan saw Suzaku sit down, and then continued: "The four of you are all heroes of my Sword Immortal City, although I, Li Tianhuan, am nominally your senior uncle, but I have never put up a shelf in front of you. Your power in Sword Immortal City is greater than that of me Li Qianhuan, and my Li Tanhuan is indeed inferior to the four of you in terms of age and qualifications. Now, even if you don't obey my orders, I, Li Qianhuan, have no choice! However, you must know that the enemy this time is very strong, if one is not handled properly, our Sword Immortal City will suffer great losses, and even the city will be destroyed! Are you confident that you can handle everything? If something goes wrong, how do you explain to your master, how do you explain to your people! ”
"If you can handle it well, I, Li Tianhuan, will give it to him! But can you really handle it? ”
Li Tianhuan looked at the four people opposite coldly, he knew that the four people opposite were not sincerely obeying him.
"By the way, Dongfang Ming has already gone to the Five Peerless Mountains in the southeast! You guys, you should know what he's going to do, right? ”
Hearing Li Qianhuan's words, Suzaku's face changed significantly, he also heard the wind, but he was not sure, now, he knew the current enemy, and naturally knew that Dongfang Ming was going to the southeast Wujue Mountain to take revenge.
A hint of struggle flashed on Suzaku's face, but after a while, Suzaku gritted his teeth, walked up to Li Qianhuan, solemnly hugged his fists, bowed down and apologized: "I'm sorry, Uncle Xiao, it was my fault just now, I will obey your orders!" Even if you die, you don't hesitate to do it! ”
Li Tianhuan smiled slightly, and then turned his eyes to the other three people.
"I'll listen to my orders!" Qinglong, White Tiger, and Xuanwu all stood up and bowed down at the same time and said.
Li Tianhuan patted the chair, stood up and said, "Okay! In that case, I will definitely lead you to deal with the situation in front of you! But if anyone dares to disobey my orders, I will not punish you! When the patriarch returns, you can explain to the patriarch yourself! ”
There was no opposition from the four.
Li Qianhuan continued: "Next, I will tell you to do the first thing! That is, you go back and gather all the masters above the Great Heaven Realm under your command, and as for those below the Great Heaven Realm, they will all be driven out of the city. And the children of your family, all of them have been sent to the seat belt. Tell them plainly that there is going to be a big war in Sword Immortal City. ”
"You should do this openly, and you don't have to be afraid that the people of the Five Absolute Sects will know! I just want them to know that we already know their plans. Ideally, they can thus send all the potential forces in to fight us to the death. ”
Although the other four felt that Li Tianhuan's move was very inappropriate, they didn't say much. As soon as he gave up his hand to Li Qianhuan, he left to make arrangements. Even if they broke their heads, they would never understand that Li Qianhuan was going to burn Sword Immortal City once. Exchange a city for the lives of all the masters of the five peerless gates.
………… When Sword Immortal City had already started its operation, it was in a small town under the Southeast Five Peerless Sect thousands of miles away from Sword Immortal City.
"Is the situation all clear?" A man dressed in white said in a deep voice.
"Yes, Lord Landlord, the situation has not changed, and we have reconfirmed all the factors! There will be no errors! A disciple of the Ten Thousand Swords Building in a black leotard bowed in response.
"Alright, thank you!" The owner of the Ten Thousand Swords Building waved his hand and asked him to go down first!
The Wan Jian Lou bowed again and saluted before leaving.
"Eldest son, there is no problem!" The owner of the Ten Thousand Swords Building turned around and said to Dongfang Ming, who was wrapped in a thick cloak all over his body.
"Well, tonight's operation must not allow failure! I want this battle to destroy the top and bottom of the Five Absolute Gates. Destroy their Guardian Array. Even if they can retreat in Sword Immortal City, I will let them be like lost dogs, with nowhere to live! Dongfang Ming pushed away the cloak, revealing his cold face, and said coldly!
Then, Dongfang Ming turned his head again and looked at Tang An. "Brother Tang, I know that you are cultivating the Innate Five Elements Dao. Now, you have successfully cultivated the path of gold, earth, water, and wood. By the way, let me tell you, if you smelt it with your heart, you can trigger the fire of your own life. However, this is the way that consumes the fire of the surname's heart, and if it can't succeed, its skill will inevitably regress. Not many people in the world will use it unless it is absolutely necessary. ”
"Only, you don't have to worry either. You helped me Dongfang Ming tonight, and I have already prepared a big gift to thank you. As long as we can return to Sword Immortal City on the fifth day of the fifth month of May, when the time comes, that great gift, I Dongfang Ming will definitely give it with both hands! ”
"You have received this great gift from me, and I can guarantee that you will definitely be able to cultivate the Five Elements Innate Dao to the Great Perfection within three years."
"Haha...... When the time comes, even if it is a return to the Yuan Fairyland, it means that it is just waiting! But today, please join me in killing the enemy! ”
Tang An nodded slightly, the purple gold dragon in his arms had been excited all the way since he followed Tang An out of Sword Immortal City. Now when I heard Dongfang Ming's words, I was even more happy.
………… The sun sets in the west, staining half of the sky red, releasing the last residual light, as if symbolizing something.
Li Tianhuan looked up at the sky, looking at the red glow in the sky, his heart was full of mixed feelings, and he didn't know what kind of mood he was in at this time.
There was a little excitement, but more was replaced by the pressure in my heart.
Huo Yuntian was hidden behind the scenes, and only one Qin Zhaoshi appeared to contact the Five Peerless Sects, which was definitely problematic. Moreover, now there is more news that the only two old guys in the Five Peerless Sects, the two ancestors of the He family and the Zhu family, have come. These two people's martial arts are the best in the world, and they were almost close to the Great Perfection more than a hundred years ago, and now, they are even more unfathomable.
Thinking of this, Li Tinghuan only felt that the pressure on his body was too great. But fortunately, he still has one last resort.
That's the lone smile!
However, what if something happens?
Li Qianhuan's heart kept surging with this question.
If an accident does happen. He's done with all his means, what should he do then?
In his mind, if there was really an accident, then eighty percent of the problem would lie with the mysterious Huoyuntian! But for Huo Yuntian, Li Qianhuan's intelligence system is useless at all.
Li Qianhuan looked at the sunset and was full of sorrow. I don't know when, he also learned to laugh alone, and there was an extra wine jug in his hand, and he couldn't do without wine at any time.
Wine, perhaps, can drown sorrows.
………… On a peak outside Sword Immortal City, I don't know when, the red Luo brocade has been paved into a long road, spreading all the way to the top of the mountain, as if leading to the clouds.
At the end of the red brocade, Qin Zhaoshi lowered his head and hung under the road paved with Na brocade, not daring to raise his head at all.
Qin Zhaoshi looked at the dozens of Huoyun maids wearing red palace clothes on both sides of the brocade-paved road, and a faint feeling of unease appeared in his heart.
At this moment, Qin Zhaoshi heard a series of footsteps, coming from the pavilion deep in the brocade. Qin Zhaoshi raised his head slightly.
I saw an innocent girl, holding the hand of a beautiful woman in palace clothes, jumping out of the pavilion.
The girl's appearance is about ten years old, and she looks pink and jade, and she is cute and squeezed. There was a red cloud like a flame in the center of her eyebrows, which added a bit of liveliness.
The girl's eyes are dark and bright, and when she looks at others, she is always very clear, as if she is like a clear spring, which is very beautiful.
The girl jumped up and down, stepping on the center of the red brocade and singing, but the woman in the palace dress did not dare to step on the center, but carefully stepped on the edge of the red brocade, holding the girl's hand very hard. I'm afraid that the movement on my feet will be too big, and I will step on the red brocade.
The girl was bouncing and jumping, getting closer and closer to Qin Zhaoshi. There was a string of small bells hanging on the girl's feet, hands, and neck, and when she moved, the bells and bells rang wildly, and it sounded very lively.
The girl held the hand of the woman in the palace costume and looked innocent. Although she was jumping and jumping, every step she took was the same distance before and after. It's incredible.
"Three hundred twenty-one, three hundred twenty-two, three hundred twenty-three...... Hey? It's the end of the line! Three hundred and fifty-three steps? That's three steps less than last month! The girl frowned slightly, puzzled.
But with this frown, the woman in the palace dress who was holding hands with the girl suddenly turned pale, and her whole body began to tremble incessantly. Then, she trembled more and more, until the girl turned her head suspiciously, raised her hand, touched her chin and thought about it, the woman in the palace costume finally couldn't support it anymore, and knelt directly on the ground, trembling.
Cold sweat was dripping on the woman's face, but she couldn't even say a complete sentence. He only knelt on the ground, kept swinging, and his head was against the girl's toes, but he didn't even dare to beg for mercy.
The girl saw the woman in palace clothes kneeling at the soles of her feet, but she ignored it, but looked at Qin Zhaoshi very angrily, and scolded: "Qin Zhaoshi! Have you done what I have told you? My glass purifying karmic fire! Did you find it? ”
"If not—"
The girl suddenly turned around, but there was a little more black flame in her hand.
The flame burned silently, emitting a terrifying and strange aura.
The girl only flicked lightly, and the flame flew directly to the palace woman who was kneeling on the ground.
"Whew-"
I only heard a crisp sound, and as soon as the flame touched the woman in the palace dress, the woman didn't even make a single struggle, and was burned to ashes by the flames in an instant.
The girl didn't even look at it. is no longer the innocent appearance of before, and his face is full of indifference.
The flower-like woman just now turned into a wisp of light smoke in just an instant. This is not the first time Qin Zhaoshi has seen this situation, but when he saw it at this time, his hands were still cold, his heart was beating violently, and his throat was even more difficult to swallow.
Qin Zhaoshi closed his eyes slightly, and couldn't bear to look at it anymore, but he heard the girl say, "I hate it when others lie to me the most." She told me that I was so cute, and I must be captivating when I grow up. But it's been a month, and instead of growing up, I'm still young. She's damned! In the past month, because of her words, she is my most honored friend, and I have fulfilled her three wishes, but she still lied to me. I hate her! She's going to be damned! ”
After the girl finished speaking, Qin Zhaoshi had already knelt on the ground, his head against the front of the red brocade, and kowtowed three times before he spoke: "Palace Master, I have already found the Glass Pure Karmic Fire in the Sword Immortal City according to the Palace Master's instructions. Today, it is already the first day of the fifth month of May, and there are still four days left on the fifth day of the fifth month of the fifth month of the fifth month that the palace master said. The subordinates also listened to the orders of the palace master, and they had already provoked a war between the Five Peerless Gates and Sword Immortal City. When the time comes, the people of Sword Immortal City should not be able to spare manpower to deal with us. Please rest assured? ”
"Hehe......" the girl laughed like a silver bell.
"What am I worried about? Dongfang Haobai went to Xihua Mountain to wait for what he should be waiting for. When I go to Sword Immortal City, I naturally have to look for what I should be looking for. I don't stop him from going to Xihua Mountain, why should he stop me? ”
"Huh...... Qin Zhaoshi, you have done a good job in this matter. I'm glad that these women are all yours. The girl pointed lightly, and the woman outside the row of red brocade was given to Qin Zhaoshi.
Qin Zhaoshi kowtowed three times again and said gratefully: "Thank you for the palace master's gift!" ”
The girl didn't care about Qin Zhaoshi, she sang happily to herself, and went back to the pavilion again.
"Mom and Dad, the little macle is finally going to grow up......"
