Chapter 104: A Murderer!
With an abundance of top-grade True Qi Spirit Stones, Xiao Han finally cultivated this [Dragon Xuanbing Great True Qi] to a certain level. But it's not perfect. There is no other reason, Xiao Han's realm is still low now, and he has only opened 9 true acupoints, and he can't hoard too much Xuanbing True Qi in his body, and the dragon that turns into a dragon is only a few zhang long, and he doesn't have the power to destroy the country and slaughter the city. When encountering an ordinary true qi realm, you can rely on the quality of the exercise itself to slightly skip the level of challenge, but it will be difficult to fight against the treacherous demon heroes.
"Now we have to keep trying, break through the 10th True Acupoint, and reach the peak of the True Qi Realm. And impact the second stage of true qi. Xiao Han knew how to go on his own path.
However, two days later, it was the day when Princess Inkmark married in the Eastern Regions.
"You must leave the Beacon Empire as soon as possible, or even leave the Southern Regions, otherwise you will always have a bone in your throat. Xiao Han began to think about all kinds of unexpected situations that might happen on the day of travel.
An hour later, Xiao Han left the side hall.
......
Xiao Han's residence.
Princess Moji came, and the old man surnamed Hu Zhenqi Realm also came.
Xiao Han covered his whole body, head and face in a black cloak, and the cold light flickered uncertainly.
"Cloud, in two days, we're on our way. Princess Inkmark said with a sad look on her face.
"It doesn't matter. Everything is done when the opportunity arises. Xiao Han said in a deep voice.
That 'Uncle Hu', named 'Hu Chenghe', opened 30 true acupoints, and the realm is the peak of the third stage of true qi, if you can break through the 31st true acupoint, you will soar to the fourth stage of true qi, and the spiritual level and life structure will be transformed. But it's difficult, the 31st True Cave is a moat.
"Mr. Yun... You've recovered from your injuries and you're in good shape. Congratulations here. Looks. Mr. Yun practiced the Ice Attribute Exercises. Hu Chenghe said to Xiao Han tentatively.
Xiao Han said. This old man is the confidant of Princess Moji, so he is polite to him, "It's just a little trick in the rivers and lakes." This time, thanks to the rescue of Her Royal Highness the Princess, there will be a day of recovery. In the next introduction of the rivers and lakes, since he was recruited by Her Royal Highness the Princess, she naturally tried her best to protect Her Royal Highness. Along the way, escort Her Royal Highness the Princess to the Eastern Regions. Senior Hu, how did you arrange the trip?"
Now, Xiao Han regards himself as a loose cultivator recruited by Princess Moji from the rivers and lakes. He no longer hid and hidden, and deliberately released the true qi of the dragon Xuanbing with the golden sword, confusing his sight.
"Hmm..."Hu Chenghe glanced at Xiao Han deeply, and then smiled dumbly. "Mr. Yun, recently, the Empire is looking for a key criminal. This person is the young man 'Xiao Han' of the Yunyu Sect, and his age is similar to that of Mr. Yun. If it weren't for the true qigong method practiced by Mr. Yun. is completely different from that 'Xiao Han', the old man must misunderstand Mr. Yun, it is the 'Xiao Han'. Haha
"Oh, Xiao Han?" Xiao Han's heart was shocked, and he immediately said in an indifferent tone. "Disciple of the Cloud Rain Sect? ”
Hu Chenghe smiled. "This person has just risen in the Cloud Rain Sect, and after a period of true qi, he has caused a catastrophe. Mr. Yun had never heard of him, and it was not surprising that this person was said to practice a kind of 'Spirit Turtle True Qi', which was antique, and he was also a swordsman. That's it, let's not talk about this person. Mr. Yun, this time Her Royal Highness Princess Moji traveled, and we, the retainers, all accompanied me. In addition, General Nangong Ye personally led 2,000 elites to escort them along the way. ”
"General Nangong Night?" Xiao Han choked.
"Hmm. One of the top ten generals of the royal family of the Beacon Fire Empire, General Nangong Ye, a strongman in the fourth stage of the True Qi Realm, is a demon hero. The cornerstone and pillar of the empire. The red man next to the emperor. "Hu Cheng and the slow way of reasoning. "Mr. Yun should also know that from the Southern Regions to the Eastern Regions, the road is arduous, the journey is long and distant, and all kinds of crises are indispensable. For example, those fierce bandits and river thieves. And the most worrying thing is the most evil demon clan. If our retainers escorted Her Royal Highness the Princess, it would be really difficult to overcome obstacles and reach the Eastern Regions smoothly. After a pause, Hu Chenghe sighed. "We have watched Her Royal Highness grow up since we were children, so why would we like her to marry far away in the Eastern Regions... Hey, the emperor is really ruthless. ”
"Nangong Night, True Qi Fourth Stage, Demon Hero..."Xiao Han muttered, "This Nangong Night, shouldn't it belong to our camp?"
"Mr. Yun, General Nangong Ye is directly under the emperor's orders, and he is a demon hero, and he is fully responsible for escorting Her Royal Highness the princess this time, seriously, we all have to obey his orders. Hu Chenghe said with a little resentment. "General Nangong Ye, on the one hand, he is escorting, and on the other hand, he is monitoring Her Royal Highness the Princess. The entire empire knows that Her Royal Highness Princess Lu Dao is unwilling to marry far away, and the emperor must be afraid that something will go wrong on the way, lest we, the retainers, defend Her Royal Highness the princess and secretly help Her Royal Highness escape from the princess. I heard that Nangong Ye has the right to cut first and then play to us people. Hey......"
"I see. Xiao Han nodded slightly, "Senior Hu, who are some of us here?"
"There are 200 maidservants, 50 gardeners, 50 old mothers, 200 servants, 50 cooks, 50 tailors, 50 musicians, 200 craftsmen, 200 grooms and coachmen, 500 body realm guards, and five true qi realm guards commanded by the old man. are all henchmen of Her Royal Highness Princess Inkmark. By the way, plus you, Mr. Yun, on our side, there are a total of six True Qi Realm martial artists. "Hu Cheng and the Tao of 1510. "All in all, let's protect Her Royal Highness Princess Inkstain. If they encounter foreign enemies, or even demon clans, they will all be resisted by General Nangong Ye. ”
..................
Beacon Empire. Palace. The Imperial Study.
The Emperor sat behind a desk and flipped through an old book.
A eunuch entered the study with his back bent and said in a low voice. "Your Majesty, General Nangong Ye is here. ”
"Hmm—" The Emperor nodded indifferently.
Soon, a middle-aged man wearing a general's armor walked into the study.
This middle-aged man's face is slightly narrow, it is a horse face, but his eyes are bright and vigorous. As soon as he entered the study, the temperature of the entire study rose a lot. A real fire burned behind him from time to time, and the light was steaming faintly. You can see a series of figures. Struggling in the real fire. And there was a wail, which was very terrible.
"Nangong Night, your 'Burning Heaven Great True Qi' is almost complete, the true fire burns all things, can kill the enemy invisibly, lock the soul for thousands of miles, and scorch the mountains and boil the sea in one thought. Swallow mountains and rivers. In two years, you may be eligible to compete in the Demon Leaderboard and earn a place on the leaderboard. The emperor looked at Nangong Ye with admiring eyes.
Nangong Ye stood casually, his whole person was as imposing as a sword, and like a steep lonely peak, piercing the blue sky, which was not trivial. "The emperor praised it falsely. ”
"Well, this time escort Ink Mark to the 'Heaven Swallowing Empire' in the Eastern Regions. The road is difficult, and you can take this opportunity to sharpen your fighting spirit. Calcined spirit. You have now opened 35 true acupoints, if you can open a few more. It is expected to rush to the fifth stage of True Qi. The Emperor nodded and smiled.
"Your Majesty, it's hard. The last general's talent is limited, and he has been stuck in a bottleneck for the past few years, and has repeatedly hit the 36th true acupoint to no avail. Unless you get the treasure medicine and opportunity to usurp your life, it will be difficult to make an inch. If you don't reach the fifth stage of true qi, it will be difficult for you to squeeze into the demon hero rankings. A gloomy look flashed in Nangong Ye's eyes.
"Hmm... It's man-made. Nangong Ye, if you return triumphantly this time, I beg the Demon Tower, I hope I can reward you with some holy medicine. The emperor was gracious and benevolent. After a pause, the Emperor's eyes became deep, as if he was looking at somewhere far away in the dark. "Nangong Ye, you also know that the ancestral land of the Beacon Fire Empire is in the prosperous Eastern Regions. To be precise, our Beacon Empire is a branch of the Eastern Regions Great Empire's 'Heaven Swallowing Empire'. At that time, a prince of the 'Heaven Swallowing Empire' led his tribe to the Southern Regions and founded the 'Beacon Empire', and he was my ancestor. This time, I finally managed to contact the high-level of the 'Heaven Swallowing Empire', and I would like to take this opportunity to recognize my ancestors and return to my ancestors. ”
"Your Majesty..."Nangong Ye hesitated, but still exited. "Is the emperor really willing to let Princess Moji make a sacrifice?"
"Hmm—" The Emperor closed his eyes slightly, and when he opened them, his eyes burst with essence. "To recognize one's ancestors and return to one's ancestors, one must sacrifice to one's ancestors! Moreover, the Heaven-Swallowing Empire has so far followed the clan rules of human sacrifice! If I don't give out human sacrifices, how can I show my sincerity? Living human sacrifice is the most revered etiquette, and it can move the ancestral gods! This time, Mo Jiyuan's marriage is a fake ......."
"But, Your Majesty, there's no need to sacrifice Princess Moji, right? Wouldn't it be better to choose some folk girls with good quality in the empire?
"Hmph! When Ink Mark was born, a vision fell from the sky, and I asked some powerful people in the Demon Tower, and I learned that the birth of this girl would cause me to destroy the country! If I don't execute her before she is 20 years old, the Beacon Empire will fall apart and be destroyed! I will also be in a different place!" A fierce look flashed in the emperor's eyes, which became more and more intense. "I'd rather bear the people of the world than the people of the world bear me! Just a single ink mark, sacrifice will be sacrificed, how can I allow her to subvert the hegemony of the dynasty? This ancestral sacrifice, she is a sacrifice! Nangong Ye, you remember, if there is a slight change on the way, you can die here and bring someone back to see me! I will find another way to see the ancestral sacrifice. Or perhaps, I will personally take the sacrifice to the Eastern Regions Swallowing Heaven Empire. All in all, this time, if everything goes well, Ink Mark should be able to reach the Heaven Devouring Empire alive, as a supreme sacrifice, sacrificing to the ancestors, that is her best destination, and if there is a change, she will be executed directly!"
"The last general will obey the order!" Nangong Ye ordered.
"Well, on the day of the trip, I won't go to say goodbye, so I don't have to worry about it. I have lived peacefully for so many years, and I have done my best!" the emperor waved his hand. "Nangong Ye, you go and prepare for all kinds of travel!"
..................
Two days later, Princess Inkmark got married and traveled away.
The mighty procession set off from the palace of the Beacon Fire Empire, went eastward, hugged more than ten miles in front of and back, waving flags, fluttering colorful clothes, rolling wheels, and drums, so that the majesty of the emperor's marriage to his daughter.
Although the current emperor of the Beacon Fire Empire was unable to come to see him off in person, there were thousands of people who accompanied the marry, palace ladies and maidens, musicians and tailors, craftsmen, and escort warriors, and the abundance of dowry ornaments was even more dazzling. Dozens of chariots were loaded!
In the middle of the huge welcoming procession was Princess Inkmark's car, a bronze chariot pulled by eight horses. Surrounded by Princess Inkmark's retainers.
Xiao Han was dressed in a black cloak and rode a high-headed and sturdy horse, guarding the left side of the princess's car. On the right is Hu Chenghe. There are also the personal guards of Princess Inkmark in front and back, true qi realm martial artists.
At the front of the team was General Nangong Ye, who led 1,000 elites to open the way; There are two partial generals of Nangong Ye. He also led 1,000 elites. Queen.
The procession left the palace, ten miles long street, and the people of Li cheered.
"Hmph~~~~" Nangong Ye was not riding a horse, but a strange beast with ancient blood, with teeth and claws, domineering.
At this time, a mocking expression flashed in Nangong Ye's eyes, "Isn't it grand?" You don't know the way yet, but this time you went to the Eastern Regions, not to marry far away, but to make a living sacrifice... It's just that you have a bad fate, and in my Beacon Empire, there is a disaster of destroying the country... Well, along the way, you can be honest, if you dare to make the slightest change, this seat will be cut first and then played!"
Impressively. Nangong Ye's eyes flashed with an obscene light, and he glanced back at Princess Inkmark's car. There seemed to be something brewing in his eyes, and he couldn't help but stick out his tongue and lick his lower lip.
Walk for hours...
"General Nangong...", a partial general, rode a horse from behind and rushed up, this person is the second stage of the True Qi Realm, one of Nangong Ye's henchmen, "General Nangong, the last general has just inspected, and in Princess Moji's personal guards, there is a strange figure wearing a black cloak, a section of the True Qi Realm." ”
"Hmm, a strange figure in a black cloak? Recently, the whole country is looking for Xiao Han, a young man from the Yunyu Sect, and he can't find it, this young man is like evaporating from the world... This one... It shouldn't be possible for him to sneak into the palace and appear in the greeting procession of Princess Moji......" Nangong was stunned at night, and immediately flicked his nails. "Zhang Heng, you go to check and see what kind of people are indiscriminate and mixed into the princess's personal guards. Well...... By the way, deter the princess and the people around her, so that these people will be behaving along the way. Nothing can go wrong. Nangong Ye smiled playfully. "You know what this seat means, don't you?"
"The last general understands!" the general smiled. "The last general will let the princess know that when she leaves the palace, she has to follow General Nangong's intentions in everything she says and does, and any princess's temper will be restrained as soon as possible!"
"Well, go ahead. Nangong Yeyi laughed triumphantly.
..................
"Hey, hey... Among so many people, I'm afraid no one will find me, right? As long as Nangong Ye's house is hidden, it is very likely that my master will sneak out of the Southern Regions unnoticed. Those guys who hunted down and killed my master, they should always give some face to the royal family of the Beacon Empire, right? Now that the emperor is marrying his daughter, no one should suspect this. Xiao Han thought silently. "It's just that along the way, I am wearing a cloak and covering my head and face, which inevitably makes Nangong Ye suspicious, he is a demon man, and it is very tricky to fool him. ”
That's when ...
The partial general of Nangong Night, Zhang Heng of the second stage of True Qi, led more than a dozen flesh realm martial artists and galloped to the princess's car. "Please stop driving, princess!"
"What? What do you mean by that, dare to stop the princess's car!" Hu Cheng and Heng Mei said angrily.
Several True Qi Realm martial artists around the princess changed color one after another.
Zhang Heng snorted coldly, and actually looked directly at Xiao Han wrapped in a black cloak. "Who are you? I see that you are not a retainer of Princess Inkmark, so quickly take off your cloak!"
"Presumptuous! It's bullying us!" Hu Chenghe was already extremely dissatisfied with the princess's distant marriage this time, originally, the princess's personal guards and Nangong night, the well water did not interfere with the river water, and there was nothing to do, so that's it. Now, Nangong Ye actually sent people to make trouble! Hu Cheng and Lao Yu Jianghu, how could they not know that Nangong Ye wanted to take advantage of this.
"Nonsense!" Zhang Heng didn't even look at Hu Chenghe out of the corner of his eye, his eyes were full of disdain. "Recently, the empire is looking for a young man from the Cloud Rain Sect, you are hiding your head and showing your tail, I am afraid that there is a major suspicion. Take off your cloak quickly, or you will be put to death!"
"It's too much! Mr. Yun is a strange person recruited by the princess, how can you say that you will be executed, where do you place Her Royal Highness the princess?" Hu Chenghe said furiously.
"Hehe..." Xiao Han was anxious, so he simply let go of it. He knew very well that if he retreated at this time, he would definitely attract all kinds of suspicions, and if he didn't do it, he would be exposed, so it was better to do the opposite!
"What are you, how dare you disturb the princess's car? Now I will give you a chance, immediately dismount, kneel, and beg the princess for forgiveness, otherwise, I will cut off your hands and feet!" Xiao Han said sharply.
"Haha
"Looks like you really want to die... Then I will fulfill you and send you on your way!" Xiao Han laughed fiercely, and suddenly, a five-zhang long dragon rushed out of Xiao Han's body, with a roar, the sky was cold, and a mouthful of ice and cold breath spewed out, and in an instant, several soldiers under Zhang Heng's flesh realm were frozen into ice slag and shattered their bones!
That Zhang Heng never expected that Xiao Han would do it when he said it, and he was as cruel as this. Moreover, he opened 14 true acupoints in his body, that is, a martial artist of the second stage of the ordinary True Qi Realm, and he was not much stronger, I am afraid that he was not as good as Liu Feng, the young genius of the Famous Sword Villa who was defeated by Xiao Han before.
"Ah!!!h
In an instant, under the unguarded, Zhang Heng's left arm froze, screaming in shock, the horse under his crotch had been frozen into an ice sculpture, he fell off the horse one by one, knelt on the ground and trembled, one could not breathe, his black hair was covered with frost, and the cold air was steaming.
"Well, that's right, if you are willing to kneel down and beg for mercy, you can avoid death. Xiao Han's tone was cold.
Hu Chenghe and the others gasped, looked at Xiao Han silently, and said in their hearts, this Mr. Yun is really a murderer, I am afraid it is very good for him to protect the princess, so as not to humiliate the princess... (To be continued......)
