Chapter 19 - The Dance of the Phoenix (Part II)
Bu Yuehan didn't understand what her sister meant by what she said, but she understood the last sentence very directly. It is very difficult to practice the secret art of the Wu clan, not to mention that they are not descendants of the Wu clan in the first place, and it is difficult to practice the secret art of the Wu clan. But listening to Bu Luan's tone, it seems that she has already made up her mind to cultivate this witch secret art, and she will not give up until she reaches her goal.
Bu Yuehan knows her sister quite well, and knows that her sister is actually a very stubborn person, and her decision rarely changes. Looking at his sister's resolute face, Bu Yuehan also knew that he couldn't persuade his sister. She diverted the awkward question and asked Bu Luan with a different question. "Then, sister, if the Wu Clan's secret art you discovered is successfully cultivated, what is its effect? I see that my sister was surrounded by flames like red lotus karmic fire just now, is this the effect of the Wu clan's secret art?"
Bu Luan couldn't help but sigh softly, "According to the historical records we know about the Nine Domains, the first patriarch of the orthodox Wu clan himself had the secret art of the Wu clan of ice and fire to practice, and the most basic secret art of the Wu clan except for the three forbidden spells in the secret art of the Wu clan is extended from the foundation of the two systems of ice and fire. But in the end, when the Nine Domains were destroyed, the most representative figure of the Wu Clan, the Phantom Moon Imperial Princess, had completely used and extended from the Ice Witch Clan's secret arts, and the Fire Witch Clan's secret arts had disappeared into the Wu Clan. I now know that the Wu clansmen, who were good at the secret art of the fire witch clan at that time, angrily left the Nine Domains because of the failure to seize power, and came to the Hanhai Demon Spirit Continent, which was still wild and backward at that time, but in the end, they still did not escape the pursuit of other clansmen, and the fire line was cut off from then on. β
Bu Yuehan and Gongsun Yu had already understood the meaning of Bu Luan's words, presumably this Qingming Mountain Range, which originally belonged to the Nine Domains, was left here and she discovered about the fire secret art that had been lost in the original Wu Clan's secret arts, and she is still continuing to cultivate. This is simply a path of nine deaths and a lifetime for their instrument soul cultivators, and it is difficult for the instrument soul and the witch clan secret art to be compatible, just like the reason why it is difficult for the spiritual power to cultivate to the high-level realm in the machine soul cultivators. Incompatible with itself, no matter how high the talent is, it won't help, so now Bu Luan is doing the opposite, although it seems to be working well at the moment, but the risk is too high.
"Sister, do you know the consequences of doing this?" Bu Yuehan didn't believe that Bu Luan didn't know the consequences of doing this.
Bu Luan smiled indifferently, "Of course I know the consequences of doing this, but I have no choice, only a very few members of our royal family are able to awaken the soul glass bell left by our ancestors." Even if ordinary members of the royal family can awaken the glazed bell and spend their lives cultivating the instrument soul, it is only the realm of the fourth and fifth order, and when facing the dark army, the fourth and fifth order instrument soul cultivators have no effect at all, but I am weak and sickly. Han'er," Bu Luan's eyes locked on Bu Yuehan, a kind of gaze that seemed to be able to see through everything, and Bu Yuehan was a little afraid in his heart.
"Your talent is better than mine, and you have not awakened the soul of the glass bell, your cultivation path will be much easier and simpler than mine. As you know, I have no choice now. β
Bu Yuehan clenched her sister's hand, she could hardly imagine how much perseverance a woman like her sister would have to challenge the practice of witch secrets. Bu Yuehan's throat choked, "Sister, I ........."
"Okay, okay," Bu Luan touched her sister's hair lovingly, she also understood her sister's fragility now, after all, she hadn't experienced too many twists and turns, and she hadn't experienced the life of being hunted down and exiled, only by really being close to the people and living with them could she understand the lives of the people. "Han'er, let's talk about the current situation, there is not enough time left for us. With that, Bu Luan took a few of the latest pigeon letters from a large rock beside him.
Bu Yuehan wiped away the tears rippling from the corners of her eyes, and focused her attention on analyzing the situation, Gongsun Yu, who had been silent on the side, also approached the two princesses and quietly stared at the contents of the pigeon letter.
In fact, Bu Luan did not tell Bu Yuehan one more thing, they are not inherited by the descendants of the Wu clan, and outsiders must learn the "Phoenix Dance" if they want to practice the secret art of the Wu clan, so that they can try to practice the secret art of the Wu clan. And the price of this phoenix dance is to pay for your own life in the end. She has learned most of it now, and she won't give up halfway no matter what, that is to say, Bu Luan actually foresaw her final outcome when she made this decision. She wants to try her best to preserve the white-clothed celestial maiden's forces, which are now full of holes, in the environment of the Dark Legion's overwhelming environment, and then she can rest assured that the future of the white-clothed celestial maiden and even the entire feudal country will be handed over to Bu Yuehan.
"Sister, I thought that the deployment of the Dark Legion now seems to have a deeper meaning," it was Bu Yuehan who spoke, she didn't notice the sadness on her sister's face that had disappeared, "At present, the Dark Legion has the absolute upper hand, the Holy Emperor has successfully counterattacked us, and the main force of the Dark Legion has captured Xuancheng, the capital of Qi State." And according to the information transmitted back, Liguo originally did not intend to participate in the war, that is, because the Dark Legion did not occupy Tianhailing, so that the reinforcements from Liguo arrived and successfully attracted the army of the Dark Legion, after occupying Xuancheng, it did not continue to go south to exterminate Qi State, but went north to fight Liguo, does this mean that there are some enemies on all sides? Although the Dark Legion is strong, it can be defeated individually, but it chooses to attract all the enemies together, is there a deeper premeditation?"
Bu Luan shook his head slightly, "Not to mention whether there is a deeper premeditation, the alliance of our three parties is not strong in itself, plus such an aggressive dark army. The future on the Hanhai Demon Spirit Continent is really unpredictable, what we can do now is to temporarily stick to the Qingming Mountain Range and attract the Holy Emperor and the army of the Feudal War Society under his command, otherwise once the Holy Emperor sends troops to the Qi Kingdom, the Qi Kingdom will face a catastrophe. This is what we can do at the moment, and as for how to put pressure on the Holy Emperor, I really haven't thought about it. β
Gongsun Yu on the side took over and said: "I have some ideas about this, although the current guards of Lingcheng are loyal to the Holy Emperor, but the three deputy generals under his command are my henchmen, I don't know why the Holy Emperor did not drop them, I can secretly go to Lingcheng to contact them to cooperate with the army, once we take Lingcheng, I believe that the Holy Emperor must send troops to deal with us, and then use the advantageous terrain of the Qingming Mountain Range to fight against the Feng War Society." I wonder what the two princesses think?"
Bu Luan looked sideways at Bu Yuehan, meaning to ask her opinion, Bu Yuehan pursed his lips and thought carefully, "This is also a way, although there are not many defenders in Lingcheng, it is not easy to occupy it." According to General Gongsun's idea, we will try our best to attract the attention of the Holy Emperor and delay the time for Qi and leaving the country. Otherwise, I'm afraid it won't be long before the Hanhai Demon Spirit Continent will completely fall under the clutches of the Dark Legion. β
"Okay, just act according to General Gongsun's proposal. Bu Luan made a decision. Nor does this fundamentally solve the crisis that is still looming.
At the thought of the Dark Legion, the hearts of the three leaders of the white-clothed celestial maiden forces became extremely heavy, they could never have imagined that the Holy Emperor would be able to deal with it calmly when facing the greatest crisis, let alone that the Holy Emperor had been holding back because there was a much bigger force behind them that they could not match. Staring at the mountains surrounded by clouds and mist outside the Qingming Mountain Range, they all felt a feeling of powerlessness.
................
On the other side, in the north of the Qi Kingdom, Feng Yuchong, Feng Shanshan, Yu Fei and Nangong Yun, the four young people who had temporarily retreated to Tianhailing and abandoned Li Chengbei to join the army of the country, also received the news that the army of the Dark Legion was pressing, and their hearts were also extremely heavy. Even the joy of seeing Luo Yinying and Sun Hao again is not worth the deep worry and sadness about the situation.
But at this time, they no longer had time to grieve the two worst news, the loss of Xuancheng and the death of Xuan Lejun. All they could do was to do their best to protect the will of His Majesty Xuan Le Jun in the inheritance of the Qi Kingdom, and their two companions, Lu Deng and Shi Rambo, were also captured by the Dark Legion. But if they don't get up and give up on these things first, they will also face the same fate.
According to the latest news, after the Dark Legion reoccupied Li City, it was clear that it did not intend to give them any respite and was ready to defeat them in one fell swoop.
For this reason, Feng Yuchong deliberately went to have a long talk with Chen Xinyu, the empress of Shengde who left the country, and lost more than 20,000 soldiers in the battle to defend Licheng, and the Dark Legion only killed and injured thousands of the most ordinary humanoid soldiers, which was simply not a loss for the Dark Legion. The Demon Bat Riders of the Dark Legion have even appeared near Tianhailing now, how will they deal with it once the main force of the Dark Legion arrives?
Chen Xinyu's original intention was to temporarily withdraw to the Xuanling Continent and continue to wait and see the situation, either hoping that the southern army of Qi would mobilize to counterattack Xuancheng, or that the forces of the white-clothed Heavenly Maiden would assist them in fighting against the Dark Legion. However, at present, these last two plans are not easy to achieve, and Chen Xinyu, who expects them to leave the country to face the dark army alone, has no such plan. Feng Yuchong secretly went to visit Kong Hong, the spirit master of Yinan, and listening to her tone, it seemed that Chen Xinyu's plan this time was about to be implemented, and the withdrawal of troops seemed to be inevitable.
"How is this good? Are we really helpless?" Since the six young people did not have an army that belonged to them, they were reluctant to see that Chen Xinyu had made up their minds, so they could only choose to stay in the Yue clan for the time being to discuss countermeasures.
