Chapter 536: The Great Elder

On the bank of the river, there are dense groups of reeds, and the tiger led five hundred warriors to quietly ambush here. Pen Fun Pavilion wWw. biquge。 info

Hu Li knew that the five hundred warriors would not be able to set off any big waves here no matter what, and these five hundred people had never thought of going back, but they could not be consumed without value.

The river water in early spring was very cold, but they did not have the slightest fear of the cold river water at all. They and their mounts hid in the river, not moving.

On the riverbank, there were groups of patrolling soldiers, and their patrol formations were very tightly arranged, and it was obvious that these soldiers were some very experienced fighters.

The tiger poked his head out of the water, and he shot an arrow into the distance, which ignited the reeds in the distance.

"Over there, there's a fire, go and see!" said the patrolling soldier.

The patrolling warriors, attracted by the firelight, rushed towards the fire.

"Let's go!"

Just as the patrolling warriors rushed past the firelight, Tiger gave an order, and the five hundred warriors, along with their mounts, leaped out of the river, went ashore, and galloped ahead.

In front of the Fortress, there is a lake, which is now full of boats, and in the middle of the lake, there is a channel connected to the river.

This team of five hundred people, they rushed towards the lake.

"Enemy attack!"

Someone yelled.

The cavalry, like a whirlwind, rushed towards the lake, and as they did, they shot a rain of flaming arrows at the ships in the lake.

Their goal was to burn the boats moored in the lake.

On the surface of the lake, there was a sudden dissatisfaction with the flames.

In the city of sacrificial winds, Chi Yu stood on top of the city wall, he looked at the raging flames on the lake, his face was still very calm, as if there was no wave at all, as if these things were things he expected.

"General, the enemy burned the ships. Someone reported.

"Good. Chi Yu said.

The people around Chi Yu didn't understand, the enemy burned the ship, why did General Chi Yu still say yes? He didn't understand, but he didn't ask Chi Yu why.

"Let's go!"

Tiger looked at the fire of the lake, and he commanded.

Then, like a whirlwind, the team left, not back to Cloudsdale, but to the depths of the Field of Hope.

"A lot of guts. On the city wall, General Chi Yu saw all this in his eyes, and he said.

It seems that he doesn't look down on this small team at all.

"General, do you want to intercept them?"

"Let them go," Chi Yu said, .......

Tiger Fox walked at the front of the team, he believed in the speed of their horses, able to shake off the pursuers behind, in the previous days, he was very familiar with the terrain in this area, he believed, with his familiarity with the terrain of this generation, he would definitely be able to take these warriors here to play a game of peek-a-boo, to surprise the enemy.

About twenty miles ahead, there was a hill, and inside the hill, the trees were luxuriant, and he could use this terrain to snipe the enemy, and he had long been optimistic about this place and was ready to be stationed here.....

The tiger galloped at the front of the team, he was the first to rush up the hill, and as soon as he rushed to the post, he reined in the war horse and gasped.

Because he saw in front of him, there was a dense barracks, and the scale of the barracks was very large, and one sat on one side after another...... The number of troops that can be accommodated in this barracks must be much larger than that of Sacrifice Wind City.

.......

"The direction of the enemy's main attack turned out to be Cloud City!" Hu Li was taken aback in his heart, such a large scale of the army, it must not be just Cloud City, their target must be Sky City.

"General..... I think we'll have to go back and bring the news to General Choi. ”

A sergeant gasped, he had never seen such a large army.

Several carrier pigeons flew up in the night sky, and their goal was Cloudsdale. However, the young man who released the carrier pigeon, his face was unusually resolute.

"We're not going back!"

Then, with his army, he quietly retreated from the top of the hill, and he wanted to go around in circles with this huge army, playing hide and seek, and dragging on as long as he could.

He believed it would make perfect sense.

Castle in the sky.

The elder elder was a little uneasy, he received news that the alliance of the Holy Mother and the heretics had assembled in Cloud City, and their combined army was numerous, and Cloud City only had 100,000 defenders, and it was impossible to stop their advance.

Once the enemy occupies the city in the clouds, he can use the city in the clouds as a stronghold, and the city in the clouds to the city in the sky is basically unsafe to defend this way.

They can drive straight into the Sky City.

At this time, he missed that year very much, back then, he didn't have to think about it at all, and he didn't have to worry about whether the decision he made was appropriate, because in this regard, with General Tianyu in charge, even if he made a wrong decision, he knew that General Tianyu would definitely correct his decision.

But now General Tianyu ...... The army of heretics has entered this world, and it is estimated that General Tianyu has encountered a big problem, right?

He couldn't help but want to see the spirit banner set up by the Tianyu General....... They deduced something like a soul lamp.

He took the lantern and pushed the door open, and immediately his face turned very pale.....

General Tianyu's Soul Banner has turned gray color, which means that General Tianyu has encountered a big problem, that is, the Soul Banner can't feel the existence of his soul...... Most likely, General Tianyu has already died in battle.

"Ahh

He let out a scream, and the lantern in his hand fell.

"How can this be?

"This matter must not be spoken, Sky City, now at a very dangerous time, the news of General Tianyu's accident must not be spread!" The elder made up his mind, and then, a trace of flame rose from his hand, turning the spirit banner in this room into dust.

He walked out of this gloomy room, his hair whiter and as white as snow, and the wrinkles on his face deepened...... He is now a dilapidated old man.....

"Let's go, old man...... I'll carry the city in the sky....." he said to himself, and he walked into the depths of the palace step by step.

The palace was very dark, and the burning magic lantern seemed to have no way to drive away the thick darkness.

This is very different from the old man who has always shown people in a state full of red light.

"My health is getting worse and worse..... Alas, the body is not good, it is not good......" the old man muttered, "but he is still so young, damn it, he is still so young, he is only more than three thousand years old, he can live for so long, I am dead, who can compete with him?"

Now, he seemed to be an old man in his last years, as if he was about to fall apart at any moment, and his eyes were cloudy.

"I don't have the energy, but no matter what, I have to lead them through this catastrophe....."

He said to himself.

He stood up tremblingly, his body seemed to fall apart at any time, he staggered, such an old man, he should have lived at home for a long time, but he was in this lonely palace, deciding the life and death of so many people.

"That's all there is to it. ”

He went deeper into the palace, and there were doors in front of him, and he opened one door after another, and then closed one door after another.

This is already the deepest part of the palace, and there is a musty smell in the air because you don't see the sun all year round...... The magic lantern glowed dimly, and it seemed like no one had been here for a long time.

This place is the secret of the Great Elders, the City in the Sky, and no one knows this place except for the Great Elders.

In the last room, he stopped.

The room is small, but very clean inside.

A young man was reading a book on a large table, as if he had not seen the figure of the elder elder. The old man appeared in front of him like a ghost, his eyes staring at the man's face.

What a young body..... The elder was breathing a little shorter. This young man, because he has not seen the sun all year round, his face looks a little pale, but his body is indeed very young.

What's more, this young man's body fits his body very well, and when he arrived in this world on the other side of the starry sky, the elder noticed him, so he will be in this place.

"Hello. A slight smile appeared on the face of the elder as he greeted the young man.

He tried to look as pleasant as he could, but he knew very well in his own heart that it was nothing more than a wolf's smile at the sheep.

"Hmm. The young man said that he was used to the presence of this old man here.

"I want to talk to you. "The attitude of the elder is very serious.

"Do you need to talk?" said the young man, "and from the moment I came in, I knew that there was no need for any more of us to talk. ”

He had a serene smile on his face, as if he had come to terms with it all.

The elder suddenly felt a little uneasy, he was absolutely unfair to this young man, he didn't have this idea originally, but from the moment he saw this young man, his demonic thoughts came out, this young man was too similar to his own when he was young, his body and his soul were too compatible..... Sky City now has a lot of dangers, and he has to think about his own survival and deal with these dangers for Sky City.

And the accident of Tianyu General Hao Ren strengthened his thoughts.

"Don't you regret it?" said the elder.

"There is nothing to regret, I understand you," said the young man with a long sigh, "Sky City cannot live without you...... I think it's worth it to be able to trade my body for your care of my brother and them..... My brother is the hope and glory of our family, and he must live. ”

The young man said very serenely.

The elder didn't speak, and the air became a little heavy.

After a long time, the elder let out a long sigh, his heart was full of guilt, and he muttered, "This is also a last resort...... As long as I don't die, I guarantee your brother's safety....."

"Elder Xie Daqi...... In fact, in our Holy Spirit Continent, it is not that there is no religion, but we have always believed that the origin of religion is a kind of worship that arises from people's fear and curiosity about unknown things...... Over the years, I have been reading your books on religion, and I have found that your study of religion has indeed come a far, far way....... I see that you have the Sage's exposition of the power of the soul and faith, which should be very valuable, and we in the Holy Spirit Continent also have many people who have studied this aspect. ”

The young man said very calmly.

"It's impossible to say that I don't have any nostalgia for life...... After seeing your research on the power of the soul, I think you should be able to do it, let your soul occupy my body while giving up your own body, if you don't mind, you can leave your body to me, and I want to continue studying these books. ”

The elder nodded.

He has a deep study in this area, and he can do what this young man asks...... He could choose to use a simple and direct method to directly take away this young man, who had no resistance in front of him. However, the young man's serene attitude infected him, and he decided to follow the young man's advice and give his dilapidated body to the young man, so that he could live a little longer, where the soul would quickly dissipate without a physical body.

Legend has it that there is a special place in this world, where the soul can exist alone from the body, but the opening of this place is very troublesome, and the library of the sky city hides the materials of this place, which is the book left by the saint and his companions.

"Thank you for taking care of them all these years...... "At this time, the young man even thanked the elders.

Could it be that the young man is not forced as he thinks, and that it is his own intention to do so?

The things and transactions in the middle are only known to the elder and the young man.

"Let's get started. The young man said.

The elder nodded, and he said to the young man, "Don't worry, I won't forget my promise." ”

Soon, a young figure slowly walked out of the secret room, and the old figure, staying in the secret room, he looked even older...... He continued to pick up the book in his hand.

The young figure walked slowly, as if he was accustomed to the discomfort of his new body.

"Oh, I should change my face, or it's too shocking......" the young voice muttered to himself, and then, his hair turned gray and his face was full of wrinkles.

He walked up to a bronze mirror and looked at himself with satisfaction, a smile on his face.

He now felt that he was very energetic, such a young and strong body could bring more power to his soul, and he now felt that his whole mind and body were full of strength...... He quickly walked out of here and into his office.

Originally, it was time for him to sleep, but now he had lit a magic lantern in his office, illuminating his office as if it were daylight......

"Dance down......" he shouted outside.

"Here!" a middle-aged man walked out of the room, "What are the instructions of the elder?"

"You go out of the city now, go to General Yu, who will be the garrison army stationed there, and be careful not to reveal General Yu's whereabouts. The elder commanded.
