Chapter 52: A monstrous conspiracy
In the evening, Makino and the others were after a reception banquet, a song and dance party, and a military parade. Finally had their own free time, and on this day they deeply realized how "comfortable" it was to be the envoys of a strong country.
The accommodation arranged by the small country for everyone is not in the palace, but an inn in the city. At first, Makino wondered how to say that a small country is also a country. It is really unreasonable to let the envoys of other countries stay in hotels.
But when everyone came to the hotel, Makino realized that he was wrong. Where is this inn?! It's clearly the emperor's bedroom! Richly decorated, and a beautiful maid. The scent of sandalwood wafting out of the air from time to time makes people smell it refreshed. The tiredness of the day seems to be gone.
"Where is this?" Long Xiao, who had seen a big scene among the five people, couldn't help but ask in surprise after seeing the scene in front of him.
Akai, who accompanied him all the way, smiled: "Presumably Your Excellency should have heard of Qingningju." There was a kind of confidence and superiority in Akai's smile that could not be concealed.
"Qingning Residence?" Long Xiao searched hard for the name in his mind, and soon clapped his hands and said, "Could it be that this is the former residence that covers the sky?"
Covering the sky, this name can be said to be known to everyone. The only cultivator in the history of the Hellas Continent who may have broken through the bottleneck of the ninth stage and rushed to the realm of saints.
Why is it possible? Because this story has never been confirmed in any way, and at the critical moment when Shatian broke through the bottleneck of the ninth stage, he actually disappeared with a bright light. Some say he died, others say he sanctified. It can be said that there are different opinions, but the strength of the sky is undoubted. If you meet Makino a hundred years ago, many people must want to see what it will be like for the two to face each other.
But in Makino's heart, he didn't think so, just when everyone was sighing at the former residence of the strong man in front of him. In his heart, he was silently thinking about three words: old age does not die.
"I didn't expect our group of people to have the opportunity to live here. Yazhuo sighed as he touched his head and said.
"Akai is here to remind you that Your Majesty doesn't want any damage to what is in the center of Qing Ning. Being able to live here shows that Your Majesty has enough respect for you. Although Akai's words are not very polite, they are also reasonable. Makino and his party also nodded and did not speak.
On the other side of the same time, darkness was brewing silently.
In the palace of the small country, a dark shadow walked quietly.
The man kept shaking his head, and his steps were shaking. It seems that the winner is seriously injured. "Where is this, who am I?" the man said lightly.
Just then, the patrolling guards approached him quickly. "Who!" shouted the leader. The man didn't answer, still shaking his head.
"Captain Akai?" one of the guards said suddenly.
Hearing this, the man suddenly paused. It was as if something had struck him in the soul.
"Quick... Run..."Akai said these two words word by word, and his face was covered with cold sweat at some point. The expression of extreme fear was also the same, and his face contorted together.
At that moment, a wave of darkness burst out of Akai's shadow. In the blink of an eye, everyone around them was swept together, and then disappeared into the night.
A gentle breeze swept away the footprints that remained on the ground.
In the cellars of the palace, the original fragrant wine is gone. There was only one red blood array in the huge cellar. In the formation, Yazhuo, Long Xiao, and Lingxin fainted on the ground and were unconscious.
"You've worked hard, how are the people inside? A masked man in a strange costume slowly walked out of the darkness
At the same time, another guard with a spear appeared, bowing timidly to salute the former. "Captain Norlen, they've been asleep until now. There was no movement. ”
"Good, don't take it lightly. The young master of the Long family is still of great use. Nuo Leng's eyes under the mask were revealing a cold light, and he seemed to notice something unusual. "Why is there one missing?"
Nuo Leng's words were filled with invisible pressure, and the guard immediately leaned over and replied, "Captain, they tried their best to send Na Kai out of the blood array when they still had a breath. also blame the little carelessness, and hope that the captain will spare his life. The guard trembled and fell to the ground.
"Well, it doesn't matter what Akai does. Nuo said coldly. "Yes. Seeing that his life was safe, the guard breathed a sigh and disappeared into the darkness.
Nuo Leng stared at the three people in the blood array, and the corners of his mouth raised slightly. He muttered, "Death will come as promised." With that, he disappeared into the darkness again.
In the cellar, darkness fills every corner. Only the blood array was emitting a faint red light. I don't know how long time has passed, and Long Xiao in the array finally woke up.
I'm still alive? What the hell is going on? I have to escape! These three sentences flashed quickly in Long Xiao's mind. "Azhuo! Azhuo!" Long Xiao got up and shook Azhuo beside him. In order to avoid being heard by the other party, his voice was kept very low.
"Who? Azo turned around a little lazily, like a man sleeping in.
At this moment, there was a slow friction sound behind Long Xiao, someone woke up? He looked back carefully, Lingxin was sitting cross-legged. The sound of even breathing came from her mouth.
"How long have we been unconscious. Lingxin asked as she meditated and recuperated.
"I don't know. It could be a day or two. Long Xiao replied. "I don't know if that Akai helped us convey it. ”
Long Xiaozi looked weak, speaking softly and intermittently. At this time, he did not have the slightest energy in his body, and his heart was beating very slowly.
"Adra's was forcibly consumed by the Memory Split, and now it's ........ Only you and I can move freely, and I'm already a waste. So all hope lies with you....... If the last resort doesn't work either. Then we all have to die here, and the war between the Immortal Kingdom and the Lesser Kingdom will be on the verge of breaking out!" The intermittent words reached Lingxin's ears in the morning in a great battle. The trio are intercepted by a mysterious enemy. Unprepared, Yazhuo loses his memory, Long Xiao is deposed, and Lingxin is seriously injured.
Although Long Xiao really couldn't figure out what the other party was, his intuition told him that this time they were in a catastrophe.
"Wake up, I advise you to stop working hard, this blood array can drain all the energy in your body. It was impossible for even the Great Luo Heavenly Immortal to escape from here. The voice of the guard in the darkness echoed through the cellar.
However, Lingxin's reaction was to smile slightly.
