Chapter 10 Deadlines
In the headquarters room. Pen, fun, and www.biquge.info
Wei Ziqi looked at Wu Qi, who was sitting opposite, and asked, "Why are you here?"
Wu Qi replied, "After arriving in the Eastern Wilderness City on your orders, the Imperial Celestial Commander appointed me as the commander of the Radiant Legion. After learning about the situation of the Moon Fortress this time, His Excellency the Commander ordered me to lead the Radiant Legion to come to support, and it was also to prevent the demons from outside the sky from breaking through the Heavenly Barrier defense. ”
"I see. Wei Ziqi nodded in understanding, and then asked another question, "What happened over there in the Eastern Wilderness City?"
Hearing this, Wu Qi's expression became solemn and said, "The strong men of the Heavenly Castle Tower have raided the Eastern Wilderness City, and set up a large sealing array to completely isolate the Eastern Wilderness City from the outside world. ”
"Why, why are they doing it?"
"Based on the current indications, their real target is the Northern Mang. The purpose of banning the Eastern Wilderness City is to prevent the Eastern Wilderness City from awakening those sleeping powerhouses from interfering with their plans. ”
Wu Qi explained briefly, and then added: "As soon as the Great Blockade Array was broken, I was sent by His Excellency the Commander to support the Falling Moon Fortress, so more information is not clear. Your Excellency, you can go to the Imperial Envoy of the Liaison System and ask for it. ”
"I will. ”
Wei Ziqi nodded.
Early the next morning, in front of the north gate of the Falling Moon Fortress.
The defenders of the fortress and many high-ranking generals of the Radiant Legion gathered here to see off the dean of the Supreme Academy and others.
Wei Ziqi stood in the center, and Shen Tianyu, who was wrapped in a thick black robe, stood beside him, and his thin palm was held in his hand.
On either side behind him, there are Zhu Rong, Xingtian, Nezha, and Shen Jun, the new White Tiger Envoy who has been fused with [White Tiger Amber].
"Dean Wei, thanks to your Academy's assistance this time, the Falling Moon Fortress will not fall. I will take this kindness to heart. In the future, if there is anything that can be used by me, I just need to summon and go to the soup and fire!"
Luo Tianpei said to Wei Ziqi with a solemn face.
Commander Luo said seriously. Wei Ziqi smiled and said, "The Heavenly Barrier is related to the lifeblood of the human race, and everything I do is the right thing to do. ”
Then, he looked at Wu Qi again, patted him on the shoulder, and said, "You are a member of my Supreme Academy, if you need any support, just contact the Academy." The Dean will do his best to meet the requirements. ”
Wu Qi saluted solemnly: "Please rest assured, the head of the academy will definitely not let the name of the academy be disgraced!"
Wei Ziqi smiled at him: "I believe you in this." ”
Immediately, he said aloud: "Take care, farewell!"
After speaking, he turned around and took Shen Tianyu's hand and got into the carriage parked behind.
Nezha drove the car himself, Xing Tian sat next to him with his god-qi in his hand as a guard, and Zhu Rong and Shen Jun each turned on their horses and rode on both sides of the carriage.
Due to the unknown changes that have occurred in the Northern Regions, the spatial laws of the entire heaven and earth have become extremely chaotic. For safety reasons, the space teleportation could not be used for a while, so they had to rush back to the academy, and they could only use the most primitive method of carriage.
After all, the Falling Moon Fortress was tens of thousands of miles away from the Zhenlong War Zone, and there was an extremely weak Shen Tianyu in the team, so it was impossible to fly back all the time. So Luo Tianpei provided a special carriage and two war horses with the blood of fierce beasts to use in a group.
Soon, under the gaze of a group of generals, the team set off, gradually moved away, and disappeared from everyone's sight not long after.
in the carriage.
Shen Tianyu sat on the softly cushioned seat, staring out the window in a daze at the scene of the rapid backwards.
Since she was a child, she has not left Huiyue City, but this time is different from the past. If you leave, you may never have a chance to return.
After all, she is not a very popular figure in this land these days.
Suddenly, she felt her hand clenched, and a warm sensation came from her palm.
Turning his head, he saw Wei Ziqi on the other side looking at him with warm eyes.
"Don't worry, when Huiyue City is rebuilt, I will let you return here openly. I promise. ”
Wei Ziqi comforted in a low voice.
The next few days were spent on the road.
Although it is said that it is a carriage, the carriage in the Cangxuan Continent is naturally different from the carriage on the earth.
In particular, the carriage they rode in was made of all kinds of precious materials, the body was engraved with various formations, and the carriage was also specially domesticated by fierce beasts, and the speed was almost comparable to that of the bullet cars on the earth, and the ride was unusually smooth.
A day later, the team left the confines of Huiyue City and headed towards the Zhenlong War Zone at full speed.
In the next few days, although Wei Ziqi took care of it carefully, and consumed a large number of merit points every day to "replenish the demons" for him, Shen Tianyu's condition was still irreversibly deteriorating.
There is no better way for the system to do this.
"Replenishing her vitality only sustains her life, but it doesn't improve her condition. Only by recovering the inheritance can we solve the problem fundamentally. ”
That's the system's answer.
In this regard, although Wei Ziqi was anxious, he was helpless.
The only thing he could do was to issue a mindless mission to all the academy members, as well as those cultivators who held the Black Iron Token, through the system - to find the lost inheritance.
The rewards for this quest are so great that even the supreme powerhouses of the God Realm will be blushing, but there is only one clue - the inheritance is related to the flames.
And those cultivators who have cultivated to reach the Holy Realm can check out the more detailed quest hint: Inheritance of the Ancient Flame Master.
Wei Ziqi was sure that Laura in the academy should be able to understand what she meant when she saw this task.
And that's exactly what happened. Upon discovering this mission, Laura Stewart immediately mobilized the forces of the entire Supreme Academy to investigate the relevant information.
Unfortunately, even so, there has not been a single clue back for several days. This made Wei Ziqi feel more and more impatient.
Watching Shen Tianyu's skin continue to dry and peel off, the wrinkles on his face increasing day by day, and often suffering from the great pain of the flames, the discomfort and depression in Wei Ziqi's heart continued to accumulate.
On the third day, the system suddenly said, "Your Excellency, I'm sorry to tell you that the speed at which Shen Tianyu's body has deteriorated has exceeded my original estimate. So, you don't have much time left. ”
"What did you say?" Wei Ziqi asked with difficulty as if he had been struck by lightning, "and ...... How much time?"
"As it stands, there are still three days to go. ”
"Isn't there a way to prolong it a bit?" he felt a little dry in his throat, "if I could replenish her life force in a further way......
"Sorry, but even that didn't work. The system interrupted him, "Now Shen Tianyu's body is like a pocket full of holes, no matter how much life force is added to it, it will all leak out." ”
"What happens if I forcibly fuse Suzaku Zhizhang with her?"
He thought of the original emperor.
"Shen Tianyu's body will not be able to withstand the power of [Vermilion Bird Zhang], and it will be completely wiped out. This is the only outcome, there will be no other possibility. ”
"Is that so......"
Wei Ziqi was silent.
He looked at Shen Tianyu, who was sleeping quietly in his arms, his eyes were full of sadness and powerlessness.
After a few days of getting along day and night, Shen Tanyu revealed his heart to him without reservation. He already knew everything about this young girl very well.
However, it is precisely because of this that the pity in his heart for this ill-fated girl is getting deeper and deeper.
Beautiful, wise, and proud, this is the impression that Shen Tianyu once gave to everyone. But after really getting to know her, Wei Ziqi really realized the sensitive and fragile side of this girl's heart.
Just as he was stunned, Shen Tianyu opened his eyes.
"What's wrong?"
Looking at the distracted appearance of the man in front of her, she asked, her voice weak and hoarse.
Wei Ziqi woke up in shock, shook his head and said, "It's nothing." ”
Shen Tian didn't speak, and looked at him quietly.
After looking at each other for a moment, Wei Ziqi sighed and said slowly: "Your body ......"
"How much time do I have left?"
Shen Tanyu understood and asked.
"Three days. ”
Wei Ziqi replied with difficulty, with a hint of tremor in his voice.
"Is there three more days?"
Shen Tianyu smiled lightly, his expression calm.
She suddenly said, "Then these three days, can I arrange them?"
"Of course. ”
Wei Ziqi gently stroked her long snow-white and boring hair and said softly.
A bright smile suddenly bloomed on Shen Tianyu's face.
So for the next two days, they were no longer in a hurry, but enjoyed the scenery along the way as if they were on a trip.
Or the city, or the suburbs.
On the third day, the group came to the outside of Qinglian City.
"I heard that there is an ancient green lotus in Qinglian City, which is very spectacular, and I have never seen it before. ”
Looking at the silhouette of the city that was approaching, Shen Qian muttered wistfully.
"Then we're going to see it today. ”
Wei Ziqi said with a smile.
The group entered the city in a low-key manner, hired a guide, and headed straight towards the location of the rumored ancient Qinglian.
It didn't take long for the guide's voice to come from the front: "We have arrived." ”
Wei Ziqi supported Shen Tianyu and carefully got out of the carriage.
The next moment, a shocking scene came into view.
In the endless vast lake, a huge green lotus stands tall.
Under the sunlight, the huge lotus petals that were 100 zhang wide glowed with a brilliant blue luster, like the best jadeite polished.
A burst of strange fragrance comes to the face, which makes people feel uplifted.
In front of this huge green lotus, Shen Tianyu's state seemed to have improved a lot, and he said energetically: "Is this the legendary ancient green lotus? I once saw from ancient books that this pillar of green lotus was conceived by heaven and earth, and its own spirit had been born, I don't know if it's true or not. ”
The guide smiled and said, "This old lady is really knowledgeable. As you said, there are spirits in this green lotus, but it is extremely rare to see. ”
