Chapter Seventy-Nine: The Calm Before the Rainstorm
Xi Zheng reached an agreement with the King of the Golden Winged Roc and took his leave to return to Syracuse, leaving Yan Qian to deal with the signing of the agreement.
Xi Zheng left all the generals behind to cooperate with Yan Qian, and went back by himself.
"I'm going to follow my brother. "Shen Sha, this girl is sticking to Xizheng.
"Your Royal Highness the Regent, here I am, you can take this child with you, I will let Yanwu go back with you, and there will be a good response on the way. Yan Qian commanded.
Seeing that Yan Qian still had important things to deal with, Xi Zheng took Shen Sha on the road.
The road was quite smooth, and in a few days, I arrived at the royal city of the golden-winged Dapeng King, "Pengcheng", which is adjacent to the snowy region. Here, I didn't hear anything serious, and Nozomi was a little relieved. So I'm going to take a break in Pengcheng.
Suddenly, a familiar figure appeared in front of Nozomi's eyes, but it disappeared in an instant. It was the shadow of Starlight, the righteous brother whom Xizheng had sacrificed his life to rescue.
"No, how do you feel so similar. Could it be that I am dazzled? Nozomi tried to comb through the figure, but couldn't be sure if it was really him. At the beginning, Starlight blew itself up and was seriously injured, which was a difficult recovery injury, and it should be difficult to recover in such a short period of time.
No matter what, Xi Zheng took Yanwu and the little girl Shen Sha to find an inn to rest for a day.
The next day, I rushed back.
In just a few days, he entered the snowy territory, and Yan Wu breathed a sigh of relief. Finally back to his own turf, the tight heartstrings can be loosened.
After a few more days, I returned to Syracuse, which was as good as ever, but I could clearly feel a hint of coolness and began to become deserted.
"Brother Zheng, you're back. "The first thing Xi Zheng saw was Yan Yan. Yan Yan should gradually come out of the shadow of Yan Lin's unprovoked disappearance, but his childishness has not changed. Pounced directly on Xizheng.
"Well, you're all right. Nozomi asked.
"We're fine, I've been cultivating very hard, hoping to help my brother, but I haven't been able to break through. "Yan Yan's cultivation qualifications are excellent, but the higher the level of breakthrough, the more attention is paid to opportunities and perceptions, and the more you want to break through, the more difficult it will be, and the so-called impatient can't eat hot tofu. Therefore, although Yan Yan's strength is at the high level of the Seven Soul Spirit Venerable, his strength is about the same as Yan Qian's overall strength. In terms of combat experience, it will be slightly inferior to Yan Qian, after all, Yan Qian has killed all the way.
"Well, you can't force it on cultivation. Nozomi comforted.
"This is. Yan Yan asked when she saw the sleeping little girl in Yan Wu's arms.
"She was rescued by us on the way, her name is Shen Sha. Xizheng introduced.
"I'll come, you go back and rest, it's been hard along the way. Xi Zheng saw Yan Wu with a tired face, took Shen Sha in her arms, and commanded.
"Yes. Yan Wu replied and stepped back.
"I'll put her down first. Let her sleep. Xizheng motioned to Yan Yandao.
"Well, okay. Yan Yan helped Xi Zheng put Shen Sha down.
"Brother, where are we here?" This release woke Shen Sha up.
"We're home. Nozomi said cautiously. It's almost a bit doting. Along the way, gradually, Xizheng really regarded her as his sister. His own sister's nickname is also Sasha.
"Who is this sister?" Shen Sha asked when she saw Yan Yan.
"It's the owner here, my brother's friend. Xizheng introduced.
"Hello sister!" Shen Sha greeted innocently.
"Good. If you are still sleepy, go back to sleep. Yan Yan said sensibly. As soon as Yan Lin left, she seemed to have grown up and become a lot more sensible for a while.
"What about His Highness?" asked Nozomi.
"My sister is discussing things with the elders and principals of the Duanmu family. Yan Yan replied truthfully.
"What's the matter, what do they want at the critical moment?"
"Recently, there has been less and less foot traffic in our snowy areas. The volume of commodities is also decreasing. They demanded that 20 percent of their shares be withdrawn and that they exit the snowy market. Yan Yan said.
"These bastards, I'll take a look. Xi Zheng said indignantly.
When he arrived at the secret room, Nozomi heard some quarrels in the distance.
"His Royal Highness Yan Ran!" Xi Zheng greeted and walked in, there were about thirty people sitting inside to discuss things, Yan Ran sat in the main seat, and the people next to him were all from the Duanmu family, and the lowest position was You Long, the commander of the Guardian Army of the Snow Region, who was also responsible for the security of the Duanmu family.
"Ah, you're back. Flame Burning saw Xizheng, and his eyes lit up.
"Hmm. Nozomi responded.
"Ladies and gentlemen of the Duanmu family, I guess some of you don't know me yet, so let me introduce myself, my name is Wang Xizheng, Emperor Yanlin gave me the position of 'regent', and entrusted me to manage all things in the snowy region. "Xi Zheng reported directly to his home.
"He's the Regent?" someone whispered below.
"Everyone, I also know it, but what I want to say is: Syracuse City is also the headquarters of the Duanmu family, and it is also the source of vitality in our snowy region, and we all know this. But in fact, as the representative of the government army in Syracuse, our Snow Ice Palace only owns 20% of the shares of your Duanmu family, but it maintains the security and protection of the entire Duanmu family, and these shares are not enough for the expenses of our commercial guards. Nozomi began to say.
"It can be said that the development of the Snow Ice Palace to the present is due to the contributions of everyone here. To be able to have the current achievements is indeed not easy to come by. This is despite the fact that now we are facing great difficulties and unprecedented challenges. But these are not only challenges to your Duanmu family, but also challenges to our military and political side in the Snow Domain. Yan Ran looked at Xizheng and felt the heat in Xizheng's words.
"All along, Emperor Yanlin has been working with you to develop a career. We have worked closely together, and we may have encountered various difficulties on the way forward, but under the leadership of His Majesty the Emperor, we have all overcome. Now His Majesty Emperor is only leaving for a short time, and you are starting to panic for the first time. Nozomi said loudly.
"Even if we discard everything that is now, even if we are discarded by everything that is now. I still own the Snowy Ice Palace. Even at the moment of death in battle, we still have the Snowy Ice Palace, a sacred community that we have always guarded. Nozomi continued to speak loudly.
"At the same time, I would also like to remind you that the Shang family is the second business empire in this world, and behind them is the Zhongjiang Heavenly Palace forces. I'm sure they'd love to see the myth of the Shang family business becoming the number one business empire. Nozomi finished in one breath.
"Now we are tied together, either heaven or hell. The Snowy Ice Palace is the final destination of our souls. You can choose to be brave and determined to meet a great death and reincarnation. You can also choose to be a coward and let the world laugh at you. Nozomi finished speaking.
"Finally, I would like to tell you all the good news that the Demon Domain Golden-Winged Roc King has agreed to conclude an alliance with our Snow Ice Palace. Nozomi finished speaking.
"Forget it, I don't have anything to say, I hope the Pengcheng forces of the Demon Domain can keep their promises. The patriarch of the Duanmu family got up and left.
Then many of the patriarchs followed.
"Phew, thanks to your timely return. Flame Blaze exhaled heavily.
"If you encounter this matter again, directly use your Spirit Emperor power to oppress them. Nozomi said teasingly.
"By the way, General Youlong, I would like to ask you to pay more attention to the movements of their group these days, but don't let them find out. Xi Zheng instructed Yu Long, the commander of the guards, that he was his own man.
"Ordered. You Long respectfully received the order.
"By the way, have there been any unusual changes at our snowy border recently. Nozomi asked.
"No anomalies have been found yet. Yu Long replied.
"That's good, please pay more attention to the various shapes. Nozomi said.
After Xi finished speaking, You Long was ordered to exit the secret room on his own.
"Excuse me, is there any place near here where the earth system is full of spiritual energy. Nozomi couldn't help but ask the two sisters.
"Brother Zheng wants to leave to cultivate again?" Yan Yan asked mischievously.
"Well, now that our Ice Palace power is gradually being surpassed by other forces, it will be difficult to control the situation in the future. You see, this group of elders of the Duanmu family, all of them are above the strength of the Spirit Venerable, and they are almost comparable to our Ice Palace's own power. Xi Zhengyan analyzed.
"Yes, yes, but it's a barren and uninhabited place. Flame replied.
"Where?"
"The snowy ice fields of northern Xinjiang, where there are strong water and earth aura. Yan Ran said.
"It's a good place. Xizheng was overjoyed.
"But that place is not accessible to ordinary people, unless you can pass through the outer barrier of the Guò Snowy Ice Field. Flame continued.
"Outer barrier?"
"Yes, that barrier isolates a qiē breath, and anyone who comes close will either be bounced off or strangled, even if you are a Lingzun figure. Flame Burn introduced.
"There is such a peculiar place. ”
"Yes. ”
"Then I'm going to see what kind of strange place it is. "After such a long period of cultivation, Xi Zheng gradually understood that he needed an innate spiritual force field to break through every soul realm, the first time he broke through the dark system of the second soul, he devoured the poisonous immortals; the second time he broke through to the wind system, he caused a lot of spatial turbulence; when he broke through the wood soul realm for the third time, he absorbed the thousand-year-old aura of the elf tribe; when he broke through the water system to the five souls for the fourth time, he absorbed all the five elements of the space water system of Yan Lin; when he broke through the fire system to the six souls for the fifth time, he actually absorbed the Samadhi true fire, and then even absorbed the fire energy of the nine underground layers of rock fire space to perfect the six souls。 Therefore, Xi Zheng knew that although there was an earth-based spirit dragon now, if he wanted to break through the Six Soul Spirit King to the Seven Soul Spirit Venerable, in addition to having enough experience and understanding, he must also have a strong aura space as a support in order to maximize the success rate. Because if he fails, he may never be able to find the second earth-based spirit dragon, and he will not be able to step to a higher level again. (To be continued......)
