Behind the Chengguang Palace, the highest in the capital, there is a huge imperial garden.

The strange flowers and plants in the garden are colorful, and they often attract the Rui beasts of the fantasy country to wander in the meantime.

In the center of the garden, there is a towering tree, covering an area of about 100 feet, the tree is tall and towering, the branches are covered with turquoise man's palm-shaped pentagonal leaves, constantly trembling, mixed with purple pink flower balls in the middle, countless purple and pink petals fluttering around the tree, the whole tree continues to exude light, colorful.

It's just that under this incomparably beautiful giant tree, there is no grass, and those bowl-sized strange flowers are extinct, and the soil under the whole tree presents a chalky soil, compared with the beauty of the canopy, the soil that attracts nutrients by the roots of this tree is completely in a state of death, and the ants and insects do not grow, faintly exuding an ominous atmosphere.

This towering giant tree is the sacred tree that the Phantom Kingdom enshrines as Guibao - the Tree of Illusion.

Legend has it that this tree of illusion can bless the wind and rain of the fantasy country, the peace of the country and the people, resist the invasion of evil demons, every year on January 15 of the new year of the illusion country, is the day when the tree of illusion is planted, on this day, the imperial garden will be open to the people of the illusion country, all the people of the illusion country, regardless of men and women, young and old, rich and poor, can enter the royal garden to pray for blessings, and hang blessing ribbons on the branches, make their own wishes, sincerity is spiritual, if you touch the tree of illusion, the wish will be able to come true.

Now, the heavy snow of the Phantom Kingdom for seven consecutive days has not been able to cover this big tree, it is still verdant, towering to the sky, and the entire imperial garden, has long been covered with snow, all the most precious flowers and trees have lowered their heads, and the branches are covered with snow, as if bowing down to the king of flowers and trees.

Under the giant tree, there were two people, one red and one purple, red clothes like fire, purple clothes noble.

"I received the news from the defenders of the city gate, the Xuanzhi Gate in the west was lost, and it was broken by the demon general Mu Huali, and the city lord Xu Yanda heard the bad news and died in a fit of rage!" Liu Mengying, who was dressed in the purple emperor's phoenix clothes, crumpled the note in his hand and threw it in the snow: "Killing God Yechen, it is really going to kill my illusory country!"

The high priest in red just put up his hands and silently raised his head to look up at the big tree that went straight into the clouds, and remained silent.

Liumengying turned his head and looked at him, "The high priest seems to have expected it?"

"The internal thieves have not been eliminated, how can the capital city be defended?" The red-clothed high priest sighed, and brushed the sideburns that fell from his ears with one hand: "The demon army entered from the weakest defense of the Ximen Xuanzhi Gate, Xu Yanda was personally authorized by me, and the important task of supervising the soldiers and horses of the various battalions of the Yulin Army, such military secrets have been leaked, which can only show that the internal thieves are among the high-level of our court!"

As he was talking, he suddenly heard a birdsong above his head, the cry was crisp and long, and when he looked up, he saw that on the glazed tiles of the Chengguang Palace, there was a heavy bird, and there was a white-clothed woman lying on the bird, which was actually Bai Qianyu.

"Why is she here?" Phantom Dust's eyes flickered, frowning slightly.

"The white girl climbed the wall with the clover and brought the letter, saying that there was a way to help us find the thief, so I ordered the bird to carry her. Liu Mengying explained with a smile, beckoning, and the heavy bird flew close and landed in front of her, shining with colorful light, Bai Qianyu stepped down from the bird's back, and leaned slightly towards the lord of the country and the high priest.

Liumengying took out a blue-green nightshade fruit from his sleeve, fed it to the Chongming Bird, and with a wave of his hand, the divine bird fluttered its wings again and flew away in the air.

"White girl, I haven't seen you for many days, are you well?" At this moment, the high priest couldn't help but raise his spirits and said hello.

"Thanks to the blessing of the High Priest, Clover has refined a few herbs for me, temporarily suppressing the toxicity of the illusion tree species in my body, and I am not dead yet. Bai Qianyu replied neither humbly nor arrogantly.

"That's good," the red-clothed high priest put his hands in front of him and looked at Bai Qianyu, "I heard that the white girl has a way to find out the thief in the court for us?"

"There is naturally a way," Bai Qianyu said firmly: "It's just that I have one condition." ”

"The antidote to the Phantom Tree Species?" Phantom Ruochen seemed to have expected it, and with a flip of his left palm, a small white porcelain bottle appeared in the palm of his hand, rose into the air, and slowly moved to Bai Qianyu: "Since the white girl is willing to find out the thieves in the country for us, this antidote must naturally be given." ”

Bai Qianyu didn't stretch out his hand to take it, but said: "I know that the high priest has magical powers and countless treasures, so I only ask the high priest for one treasure." ”

"What?" said the illusion.

"Tu Su wine. Bai Qianyu looked at him and said word for word.

The phantom phoenix eyes couldn't help but narrow, this Tusu wine is an immortal brew, made by the ancient medicine immortals who picked ancient flowers and herbs, and the aura of heaven and earth into the wine, drinking it can restore all spiritual damage, fill the spiritual power pool, and there is only one bottle left between heaven and earth.

This bottle of wine is a very resilient treasure, and Phantom Ruochen has always hidden it very deeply, and has never shown it to others, and now, this mortal woman actually asked for such a strange treasure as soon as she opened her mouth?

"You asked for Wei Xiao, right?" Phantom Ruochen suddenly smiled, and that smile was a little unfathomable: "I can promise you, but this Tusu wine is a treasure of heaven and earth, and it can't be obtained unless it's a coincidence, I'll send it out, whether Wei Xiao can get it or not, it depends on his creation!"

"What do you mean?"

"If I promise, I will naturally do it," Phantom Ruochen's face froze: "As for the rest, it is a heavenly machine, and it cannot be broken!"

Bai Qianyu stared at his eyes, those eyes were delicate and changeable, swaying like water, but the depths of the eyes were as dark as a deep pool, as if they were hiding a big secret, for a long time, she nodded: "Okay, I believe you!"

"And ...... this bottle of antidote?" Phantom Dust's gaze fell on the small white porcelain bottle suspended in front of her.

"How can you be greedy?" Bai Qianyu shook his head: "Since I asked for Tu Su wine, then this bottle of antidote, please ask the high priest to take it back!"

She coughed lowly, suppressing the faint pain of the poison.

There was a faint black aura on his face.

Phantom Ruochen looked at her and smiled silently.

Liu Mengying grabbed the small porcelain bottle and handed it to Bai Qianyu: "The white girl has sacrificed her life and forgotten death several times, and she has traveled around the battlefield with Wei Xiao to resist the demon army for my illusory country, and the bank of the Chilian River is more life-saving for me, this antidote, please accept it!"

Her eyes were kind, Bai Qianyu hesitated for a moment, and then took it: "Thank you, Lord of the Country!"

Liu Mengying held her hands: "The white girl came from afar, it must have been hard, I have arranged a place to live in the palace, the white girl will go to rest first, and we will discuss the plan to find out the thief later." ”

Bai Qianyu said again, "Thank you!" again, and the palace maid came to lead him to the residence to rest.

Liumengying watched her walk away, and heard the voice of the high priest beside her: "Do you really believe that she can find the thief for us?"

"Whether it's true or not, you have to give it a try," Liu Mengying looked back: "Finding out the thief is our top priority at the moment!"

The High Priest shook his head slowly: "Our current priority is not to find out the thief, but to stop the demon army that has invaded Lidu City and approach the Chengguang Temple. ”

Liumengying raised his head when he heard the voice: "The high priest seems to have been prepared for a long time, and he has a bamboo in his chest?"

A deep smile appeared on Phantom Ruochen's face: "Exactly!"

He said slowly: "I had already expected that the thieves would betray the news, so I arranged Xu Yanda to be the main general of the city guard, but I just used him to block the demon army for me for five days, and with these five days, it is enough for me to arrange everything!"

"Arrange what?" Flowing Dream Shadow was slightly surprised.

Phantom Ruochen put a slender finger like white jade in the middle of the bridge of his nose, and his blood-like red lips hooked up a smile: "Don't say it, if you say it, it won't work!"

At that moment, all the purple spiritual power on the Tree of Illusion suddenly rushed into the erected finger of Phantom Ruochen like tens of thousands of arrows of light, as if that white jade-like finger had infinite magical power.

Above the phantom shadow of the dust, a red light also burst out, like a god descending.

"Big, thousand, sand, boundary!" his white jade-like fingers swiped down, and the dream shadow felt that the world in front of him was changing, like a picture scroll, with his fingers, it was slowly cut in half, shrinking to both sides, revealing a withered yellow world in the middle, layer upon layer, endlessly changing......

Kazeno put the red pill into a colorless glass of wine, and the pill sank into the water, and a small flame rose around the pill, stirring up countless gurgling bubbles in the drink, and then dissolving.

Feng Ye showed a sinister smile on his face, took the glass of wine, and moved it closer to Wei Xiao's mouth, which was tied to the wooden pillar.

Wei Xiao was awakened by the fishy smell of the wine, and instinctively turned her head to the side.

Kazeno grabbed his chin with his left hand, turned his head violently, forced him to open his mouth with his hand, and poured the wine from the glass into his throat without a drop.

Then he threw the wine glass down, took a step back, and looked at Wei Xiao quietly.

The spicy poisonous wine entered the throat, as if there was a line of fire running straight down from the throat, and there seemed to be a firefly crawling down the throat, where the wine passed, it was spicy, numb and itchy, and when it entered the abdomen, the abdomen was fierce like a fireball, burning Wunei, and there seemed to be a thousand knives cutting and twisting the internal organs, Wei Xiao's face was pale in pain, and the beads of sweat on his forehead were the size of soybeans coming out one after another, if it weren't for his hands tied to the wooden pillar, he was only afraid that he would have rolled all over the ground at this moment.

"'Burning Sky' is used in the demon army to deal with the most difficult prisoners to submit!" Feng Ye admired Wei Xiao's extremely painful expression with satisfaction: "But this medicine is extremely difficult to produce, and there are only three in the entire demon army, Wei Xiao, you can use one, you are also very lucky!"

He suddenly stepped forward, untied the rope that bound Wei Xiao, held it in his hand, and jumped onto the war horse: "Wei Xiao, let you try my Fengye methods now! What Heavenly Martial God General, offended me Fengye, I will remember it for the rest of my life," he laughed: "I am a villain who will be revenged!"

Then he clamped the war horse hard, urged the horse, and the war horse rushed forward!

The rope was pulled straight in an instant, Wei Xiao was carried, and he couldn't help running forward, only one step, he fell to the ground, and let the horse drag it all the way forward!

His body was buried in the snow deep in the calf, under the snow was a rough and uneven ground, in the rapid dragging, the protruding stone became extremely sharp, cutting his body, his clothes were worn out in an instant, on his elbows, waist and abdomen, and on his knees, thousands of fine wounds were not healed and rubbed again, only a hundred steps were dragged out, his body was already soaked in blood, dragging a long blood mark on the snow.

Everywhere they passed, those demon soldiers applauded, and there was even the sound of whistling.

Hundreds of thousands of demon soldiers died under Wei Xiao's hands, and he repeatedly thwarted their crazy attacks, making this arrogant demon army grit their teeth but unable to do anything, they hated him, hated him for too long!

Everyone has been waiting for this moment of revenge on him for too long!

The severe injury and severe pain made Wei Xiao unconscious, and he gritted his teeth and ordered himself: "Don't pass out! Once you pass out, you will really die!"

In the rapid dragging, he wanted to summon the artifact Haotian Sword, but there was no trace of spiritual power, and even Haotian Sword couldn't sense the call of its master, and it slept motionless in his spirit ruins.

He mustered up all his strength and barely stood up from the ground, but he immediately tripped over the uneven ground, and saw the back of Feng Ye galloping in front of him, his long hair fluttered back high, and he laughed in a vicious voice: "Wei Xiao, you also have today! If you had known today, you would have knelt down and licked my toes, beg me to let you go!"

In his laughter, Wei Xiao suddenly felt that his body was flat, turning into a soft yellow sand, and even the yellow sand was rubbing against his wounds in grains, and the severe pain magnified the feelings, as if every grain of yellow sand had turned into a rough stone, sharpening and stinging his wounds.

The laughter of the surrounding soldiers was inaudible.

Wei Xiao suddenly stood up from the sand, ran forward in the direction of the galloping horse, tightened the rope, accelerated, jumped on the horse's back, sat behind Feng Ye, pulled out the bull's ear knife from his waist with both hands, and slashed hard at his neck!

A stream of hot blood arrows soared into the sky!

Kazeno's tall body fell from his horse's back and rolled down into the yellow sand.

Wei Xiao was also exhausted, rolled off the horse, and rolled several times in succession before stopping.

The galloping horse was frightened and continued to run in the direction of the sunrise without stopping!

Wei Xiao lay in the sand, gasping for breath, until his breath calmed down a little, he raised his head slightly, and looked at the rising sun in the distance.

Yes, there is a morning light around the sun, and it is indeed sunrise.

The bloody sunset at the head of Lidu City was still reflected in his mind, how could he see the sunrise on thousands of miles of yellow sand in the blink of an eye?

Where is this long yellow sand?

Wei Xiao didn't have time to think about it, so he closed his eyes and fell unconscious in the desert.
