A dark realm, in the middle of a large hall.

Several attendants of the Wu family have already completed their reports.

The complete destruction of a "pleasure island" of the Wu family is not a trivial matter, or it is the first time that the family has been wiped out.

In the middle of the hall is a throne of white bones,

Wu Ji was wearing a Houtu mask and was sitting on a chair, holding her cheeks.

During this time, she has brought the two major underground forces south of the river under her command.

That is, the twelve phases of the hidden blade, the blood rain thousand and eight floors.

The Twelve Phases of the Hidden Blades were an organization of Assassins with a powerful ability to gather information, so powerful that they never appeared in front of the world, and no one knew how to place orders with them.

If they feel that you need to kill someone, and they can help you kill that person, they will leave a letter next to you, and it will suddenly appear in your pocket, under your pillow, on your desk.

The letter is easy to read, there is a gray skeleton with two knives crossed in the lower right corner, and the remuneration they have already written in advance, if you want, you just need to press the handprint and put it in place.

All that's left is to get ready to pay.

Of course, you can also not receive an offer of this letter, then the result is simple, your opponent will receive the same letter, and then you will die.

The eighth floor of the blood rain is a killer organization, and this organization is notorious.

Just because this organization cares about good and evil, but only about money,

And the famous saying in the building since ancient times is that "all heads have a price",

As long as the money or reward is appropriate, even the father and mother are willing to kill.

What's even more outrageous is that this organization actually implements the "temporary task system for peripheral personnel", in other words, no matter who is, if they are short of money, they can go to this blood rain building to take orders, and then hide their identity to kill people.

There have also been many decent forces on the rivers and lakes who have tried to encircle and suppress this bloody rain building, but they all ended in the death of the head of the sect, and the murderer is still unknown.

Such a powerful force,

Ben couldn't have been subdued so quickly.

But the family and these forces are not on the same level at all.

The appearance of Wu Ji and the cooperation of the Wu family's forces directly tore apart all their defense lines.

Half an hour later.

A black dove flapped its wings and flew into the main hall.

Wu Ji took off the letter tied to the pigeon's leg, looked at it, and suddenly pinched the palm of his hand, and the letter seemed to be gnawed by countless transparent mouths, and soon disappeared.

"Seventh brother, after being dull for so long, you finally gave up?

However, the way of the world has changed, and your eleven realms are not the only existence.

The fourth sister ignored you before, and this time I will have a good time with you. ”

suddenly

The black dove screamed.

Wu Ji had obviously let go of his hand, but the black pigeon still couldn't fly, it seemed to be dragged by a strange force, and it couldn't take off.

Then, starting from the claws of the feet, the whole body disappeared little by little, as if there was an invisible evil spirit that was hungry and ate its body, and did not spill even a drop of blood.

...

...

It's not that Xia Ji didn't think about recruiting forces.

But what's the use?

There is no use except wasting your own time.

Is there a force that can match the family?

Can you fight with the Taishang Palace, the Eternal Life Pavilion, who has not yet met?

No, he didn't see a glimmer of hope.

He put on a dark cloak, covered his face above the bridge of his nose, and walked alone in the spring rain in the south of the Yangtze River.

The rain drenched his clothes, but he didn't care.

The streets are bustling, bustling, and full of people, but he will only be alone.

It's not that he didn't want to go over and ask Su Tian for a book to read,

But how smart Su Tian is,

In the face of such an existence, doing so yourself is likely to expose the final hole cards.

He believes that Su Tian is sincere to him now,

But what about later?

He and Su Tian have only known each other for a few months, and they have lived for more than 10,000 years.

Along the way, he felt several people in the rivers and lakes who were looking for the whereabouts of the Shenwu King, those people in the rivers and lakes spoke very carefully, the code was very clever, and they did things well, but he and these people were no longer at the same level.

No matter how much they searched, they could not find him.

Xia Ji ordered a pot of wine upstairs in the spring flowers and autumn moon in the south of the Yangtze River, ordered a few side dishes, and listened to the people in the restaurant tell anecdotes about the rivers and lakes for a while.

These anecdotes may be big things for people in the rivers and lakes, such as what treasure was born, which family's daughter is competing to recruit relatives, and the list of heavens has changed, but for him, it is all a big thing.

The realm is high,

Naturally, it is far away from the world.

And if one day you are too tall to be caught up,

Then, everyone will be far away from themselves.

The topics they talk about, they will never be interested in anymore.

Their joys and sorrows are like drizzle, and they don't feel tempted at all.

This is also the reason why he does not want to look for a "Taoist companion".

Can the Taoist follow him, at the same level as his life?

Is it true that the Taoist couple and him are in love and trust each other absolutely?

Su Tian may be able to meet the first point, but not the second point.

An Rongrong may be able to meet the second point, but not the first.

"Little Er, another bowl of small wontons. ”

"Well, guest officer. ”

Soon, it was steaming ravioli again.

Wonton wrappers have more meat and less meat,

It's delicious,

But I only ate a few,

The leather contract in his mind suddenly reacted.

This time it's not Hu Xian'er,

It's Ji Xuan.

A message came from the leather scroll contract: "Teacher, the national teacher of the Zhou family appeared, claiming to be Shifangzun, he came to see me once, but he said that he came to find the fairies and fairies of Jinghu Lake, and he left without seeing him." But I know that he is the national teacher. ”

"How did you do that?"

I invited him into the village, and then talked to him about some things, and he seemed quite satisfied. Don't worry, teacher, I'll tell you as soon as there is a letter. ”

The information of the leather scroll contract is interrupted, and the new monarch, who is always ready for treason, has completed his intelligence feedback.

Xia Ji knew that since the national teacher appeared, it meant that the integration of the family on the bright side of the rivers and lakes began.

The hidden monarch integrates the underground world, and the national teacher integrates the rivers and lakes.

Whatever you do, you'll be up to them right away.

Ate a few more ravioli.

The leather contract is moving again,

This time it's Hu Xian'er.

"Last year, the old Mai Dao who came to look for the empress came again, he called himself the ancestor of the Pure Ming Sect, and said that he would take the empress to the cave heaven blessed land to cultivate the Tao and seek immortality.

If the empress doesn't go, the old way must take the empress away, saying that if she doesn't leave, it will be a big disaster. ”

Xia Ji remembered that this old Dao had contributed a golden skill bead [Pure Ming Dao Technique], allowing him to master a lot of Dao methods, and there must be a force behind him, maybe there was still an extraordinary power with an ancient great inheritance.

I have always wanted to find these extraordinary forces, but there is no way to get in.

According to Su Tian, these forces are all "invincible in their own territory", and if there is no guide and forcibly enter, it is simply looking for death.

What's more, the location of these forces is almost a mystery.

"Wait until I get back. ”

After Xia Ji finished speaking, he hurried to eat the wontons, then found a hidden place, and directly pinched the "curse map", and his figure suddenly disappeared in place.

In the cluttered storage room of a mansion in the imperial capital,

air fluctuations,

Immediately after, a figure appeared.

Xia Ji looked at the "curse and resentment diagram", and used it twice in a row in just a few days, so that this magic weapon has shown a "cracked" appearance, it seems that it can no longer be used in a short period of time, and the time of recuperation will be extremely long, he put away this magic weapon at will, wrapped it in a python robe again, and walked towards the palace.

...

At this time, the Royal Palace.

The early dynasty has retreated,

In the empty hall,

Mai Lao Dao held the Li staff in his hand and looked up at the empress on the throne with a calm expression.

Xia Xiaosu's eyebrows were not shocked, her pale and petite body was wrapped in a golden dragon robe, and she said loudly: "Thank you for the real person, but Lone Zhi is not in the Tao." ”

Lao Dao said: "Poor Dao can see it, so he knows."

But the poor road still has to take you away, because this is not a place to stay for long. ”

He took two steps forward and decided to take it by force.

Two waitresses immediately came out to stop him.

The old man smiled and let out a sigh of relief,

Suddenly, the air flow in the palace was chaotic,

The two empress attendants who had reached the ninth realm were suddenly blown away by the air current.

The two knew that they were not opponents, but they still drew their swords, and slowly retreated with the advance of the old way.

Suddenly, a black shadow appeared behind Xia Xiaosu.

Hu Xian'er grabbed the back of the dragon chair with both hands, and then propped herself up, her feet in the air, so as to show a kind of majesty of "the mysterious existence behind the empress".

She was bathed in darkness, and all light was hidden here.

Xia Xiaosu leaned back slightly: "Real person, I advise you not to be impulsive, you can't take Gu away in the palace." But Lone is very curious, why do you have to take Lone to cultivate?"

Lao Dao settled down, his eyes turned slightly, and at some point, the entire palace hall had become dark, and there seemed to be many pairs of eyes staring at him in the dark.

And one by one, the white eagles came from the sky, as if resting, and landed on the glazed tiles of the palace, or on the horns of the Moon Tower.

In addition, the figure of the empress on the throne is also virtual and real,

If you are there, if you are not there,

Lao Dao recognized that this was a Confucian formation with clever means.

So, he paused and suddenly whispered: "Huabiao returns once a crane returns in a thousand years, and Ning Dan is the top snow for clothing." The stars and immortals listened to it, but they flipped their wings and flew towards the five clouds. ”

After reading it, the old Tao said: "A hundred years and a thousand years, the vicissitudes of life, time changes, endlessly, why does the empress have to rise and fall in this decades of life?"

The world has its own Ming monarch, creating a new dynasty for thousands of years.

This world is not your world, but your calamity.

The good you want to practice may not be the evil that others will get in the way of the future, so why do more?

It's better to follow the old way back to the mountain, cultivate into an immortal, and live happily, why spend your heart and soul to do meaningless things?

Now, in the old Taoist view, your spirit and spirit are like being suppressed, like a pearl covered with dust, and you can't bloom brightly. ”

His words were extremely infectious, and Xia Xiaosu was even a little stunned for a while.

Oh, yes...

For countless years in the world, even if I try hard to be the empress, I can only protect one place.

Now that the Maison is behind the scenes, it is most in line with them to create a new dynasty.

Moreover, now that the fire tribulation is coming from the west, and the Northern Emperor Capital is bearing the brunt, is there any point in all these actions of his own now?

It's better to follow the old way to practice in the mountains, and you can't say that you can live forever, and you can still keep up with your brother's footsteps, and don't be a brother and sister for decades, but sit for a hundred years and thousands of years.

What are you holding onto?

Confusion flashed in her eyes.

Suddenly, a thunderous but still sound came from outside.

"Because, you are Xia Xiaosu. ”

The sound was like a long dragon, which suddenly dispersed the atmosphere brewed in the old Taoist words, and also woke up the empress.

In fact, this is not an illusion, but it is indeed the truth, but people have their own persistence, each has its own fate, and giving up their persistence because of a word, no matter what the road is after, is wrong after all.

If Xia Xiaosu follows the old way at this time, it will be a denial of everything he has lived since he was a child.

If a person has no past, how can he have a future?

"Because, you are my sister. ”

The voice followed a figure,

The door of the Golden Luan Hall is wide open,

The sun pierced everything in it.

Many maids hurriedly knelt down at the man who came outside the door, and said respectfully, "See King Shenwu." ”

Lao Dao narrowed his eyes, he didn't turn around.

Xia Ji said: "How about the old Taoist temple?"

Lao Dao closed his eyes and felt it, and then showed a wry smile, he said that Xia Xiaosu is "a pearl covered with dust, and it cannot bloom brightly", so at this time, this Shenwu King is simply a round of scorching sun, and his spirit has surpassed the extreme, which makes people unable to face it.

If before, he still thought about forcibly taking the empress away, but since Xia Ji came, his idea has been dispelled.

He sighed lightly: "It's the old way that has no chance, and it's the empress who has no chance." That's it, don't get by. ”

With that, he turned around directly, wanting to see what the world-famous Shenwu King looked like.

However, no one stood behind him.

Lao Dao was stunned, showing a look of shock,

The momentum turned out to be just a phantom of momentum condensation, and it let itself retreat.

No wonder it was set as the first outlier by the family.

Lao Dao walked out of the palace, and Xia Xiaosu didn't stop him, after all, this Lao Dao actually had no ill will towards her.

She looked at the dissipated phantom in front of the door in a daze, and there was a strange gloom in her heart.

It seems that he is getting farther and farther away from his brother.

That hateful black dragon just took away his only opportunity to become stronger, the Heavenly Demon Change.

...

After Lao Dao left the palace, Xia Ji followed directly.

He directly launched the [Nanhua Liutong - Hidden Heaven in the Field] and collected all the power into his heart.

His aura was completely hidden, just like a mortal, even if the Ancestor stood in front of him, it was impossible to detect his abnormality without looking closely, let alone the old way.

Lao Dao went out of the city, and he also went out of the city.

As he was walking, the leather contract suddenly sounded again.

It's Hu Xian'er.

"Master, your mother asked why you just came back and disappeared?"

"Busy. ”

"Your mother asked if you would come back for dinner tonight?"

Xia Ji swept the barren mountains and mountains around him, "No." ”

After a while.

Hu Xian'er suddenly sent another message: "Your mother is asking who I am and why I can talk to you on the phone? Master, what is telephone porridge?"

Xia Ji: ...

Hu Xian'er: "Your mother asked me why I only have one meter one..."

Xia Ji: ...

Hu Xian'er: "Your mother said that she also wants to have a magic device for long-distance calls." ”

Xia Ji: ...

It's better not to let my mother know about this kind of thing, after all, it's also a secret.

After thinking about it for a while, he really couldn't explain it to his mother for a while, so Xia Ji responded: "Don't let my mother see you usually." ”

Hu Xian'er let out an "oh", and then interrupted the chat.

Xia Ji looked ahead, the old road was still in a hurry, the speed was getting faster and faster, like a gust of wind, he easily followed behind.
