Chapter 64: The Action Begins
After all the clansmen settled down, the patriarch held a grand and solemn memorial ceremony for Mu Xinyao. And on the cemetery that belonged to the lords of all generations, the ranking of the lord Mu Xinyao was established.
Mu Lingxi's eyes drooped slightly, hiding all the thoughts under his eyes.
At this moment, Mu Lingxi told himself in his heart. She is also a child with a mother, because she is quietly watching herself somewhere at the moment.
The fifth day after the memorial ceremony is the big day for Mu Lingxi to succeed the lord.
Now that the previous lord has passed away, Mu Lingxi, the young lord, has the responsibility and obligation to take over all the missions that the previous lord did not complete.
The ceremony was performed on an altar.
The patriarch's old face seemed to be covered with a faint halo at this moment, and even the folds seemed to fade. In his hand was the spirit staff, which was twice his height. The ice-blue bead at the top of the spirit wand was emitting a dazzling blue light at this moment, unlike the white light it emitted last time.
After the blue light burst out from the bead, it instantly expanded, spreading in all directions.
Under the altar, all the people of the Shark clan crossed their hands in front of their chests, knelt on the ground, and looked at the bead with a reverent and solemn expression.
Mu Lingxi stood on the altar, and the moment the blue light of the beads shrouded her body, her heart seemed to be washed, and a wonderful and indescribable feeling came to her heart.
Immediately after, an invisible force was injected into her body along the blue light. The pendant of water droplets, which had been hidden in the clothing, appeared automatically, emitting a colorful light, as if responding to the blue light on the beads.
For a moment, the altar was surrounded by light.
"It's the Light!"
I don't know who exclaimed, and then all the kneeling sharks began to prostrate and worship, with irrepressible fanaticism and crystal tears in their eyes.
"It must be the ancestors who have appeared!"
"It must be the ancestors who have appeared!"
Even the most calm patriarch, who should not have had any mood swings during the succession ceremony, began to tremble uncontrollably with the hand holding the spirit staff at this moment.
The Shark Clan was going through a difficult period when they were almost wiped out, and now this unexpected scene meant too much for them that Mu Lingxi couldn't understand.
According to legend, if one of the lords succeeds to the throne and can ignite the holy light, it means that this lord will lead the mermaid clan to another peak.
Since ancient times, no one has ever had such a vision when he succeeded him, so they just thought it was just a legend, just a good wish of the clansmen. But now this legend has come to life, and it is still in such a difficult period. How can they not get excited?
Under the washing of the holy light, Mu Lingxi seemed to see some sparse, dust-like particles floating on the clansmen's bodies. She didn't know what it was, but the clansmen who were experiencing it could no longer control their low sobs, because they clearly felt that their blocked spiritual veins were all cleared at this moment, and they also clearly felt the increase in the power of their bloodlines.
The time of the light lasted about a quarter of an hour before slowly dissipating. During this period, Mu Lingxi's cultivation was also unknowingly promoted to the third level. Break through directly from the middle level of Xuanzun to the high level of Xuanzun.
At the same time as Mu Lingxi's cultivation made a breakthrough, she noticed that the other shark clans were also advancing at this moment. She was a little surprised, but at the same time a little more devout to this mysterious power.
Even the patriarchs who hadn't broken through for hundreds of years and thought that their time was short had been promoted to the first level. Mu Lingxi witnessed the patriarch's face rapidly changing from an old appearance.
When everyone has completed the promotion, the light in the Holy Light and the Blue Orb will all fade, and the succession ceremony will be completed.
"Lord!"
The crowd saluted solemnly again.
Mu Lingxi, who was standing on the altar, seemed to be standing in the clouds, surrounded by a layer of mist-like light. Under the long curly eyelashes, a pair of ice-blue eyes exude a light like broken gold, and the beauty is thrilling.
"The Lord's Eyes!"
"The Lord's eyes have finally turned blue again."
The crowd cheered excitedly.
Mu Lingxi was secretly surprised. If her eyes turned blue, how would she go back to the Night Palace?
From Blue Frost, she had long known that the Shark Clan no longer had any Holy Fruit, which meant that she could no longer change the color of her eyes......
As for why Mu Lingxi's eyes turned black before, it has to start from when she was born.
Mu Xinyao's body naturally does not have any extra holy fruits. How did Mu Lingxi's eyes turn black?
Leng Feiye only thought that Mu Xinyao had not recovered after being injured in Liyue City. In fact, even if the injury is serious, it will definitely heal long ago after more than ten years of recuperation. What's more, Mu Xinyao was able to cure Leng Feiye's hidden disease, proving that her medical skills were excellent. In that case, how could she not heal her old wounds?
Mu Xinyao didn't actually heal because of her injury, but because she almost exhausted her cultivation and forcibly turned Mu Lingxi's eyes black.
Naturally, it is impossible to return the cultivated cultivation that has been consumed in just over ten years. Not to mention the fact that this is an almost irreparable wound.
And Mu Xinyao actually didn't live too long even if she wasn't poisoned. Just like ordinary people who are unable to practice, their lifespan is only a few decades.
Mu Xinyao died, and Mu Lingxi naturally didn't know where her dark eyes came from. She thought it might be because her biological father was a Terran, so her eyes were black at first. Or maybe she's just an example of her being born with black eyes.
The patriarch vaguely guessed, but with such a heavy fact, he thought it was better not to say it. Because, even if Mu Lingxi knows the truth, what can he do? It doesn't make any sense except to add guilt to her.
The patriarch, who was hundreds of years younger, looked like a middle-aged man in his fifties at the moment, and even his voice became thicker.
It's just that in the crazy cheers of everyone, Mu Lingxi seemed too quiet. Although her gaze fell downward, she didn't focus on a certain place, because what she was worried about at the moment was how she would return to the human race and return to Leng Feiye's side. And Long Xichen and Gong Aohan, if they knew that they were the Shark Clan, what would they do? Will it still be like the three tribes of 2,000 years ago......
Mu Lingxi didn't dare to continue thinking about it. Suddenly, everything that had been taken for granted became uncertain and heavy because of the change in the color of her eyes.
If she knew that such a change would happen when she inherited the throne of the lord, then she would not agree to kill her. But it's too late to say anything, so I have to figure out what to do next.
The patriarch naturally didn't miss the change in Mu Lingxi's expression, but he also knew that he couldn't do anything at the moment, so he shouldn't know.
The nobles of their mermaid tribe had never intermarried with the human race. But since Mu Lingxi is already a result, and looking at what she means, she is also in love with the human race, and she doesn't plan to stay in the shark clan for a long time, the patriarch thinks, maybe it won't be broken.
When the crowd finally dispersed, Mu Lingxi came to a clearing alone. Through the traces of history, Mu Lingxi could vaguely see that this should be the original elixir field.
Her mind moved slightly, and the sacred tree that had been transplanted into her space was planted in the clearing. Looking around at the convex ground, Mu Lingxi suddenly felt that the holy tree was so lonely and abrupt.
She swept the space with her divine sense, and only then did she realize that she had dug up so many spirit grass and spirit flowers in the Earth Dragon Forest, and half of the space was filled.
Her mind moved again, and all the spiritual herbs and elixirs in the space were transplanted by her into the clearing. The originally empty and convex ground is now full of green, like spring suddenly descending on the world, and spring is wanton.
"Lan Zhanli has seen the Venerable Lord."
Suddenly, Lan Zhanli's voice sounded behind Mu Lingxi.
She looked back and saw a young man in his tampness, about twenty years old. Mu Lingxi was not familiar with him, he had only seen him in the crowd and knew that he was the son of the patriarch.
Mu Lingxi bowed slightly, not knowing what he meant.
"Lord, these ...... You got it? ”
Lan Zhanli looked surprised. In fact, he didn't have any special intentions, he just wanted to find an opportunity to have more contact with Mu Lingxi, so that Mu Lingxi would have an impression of him.
"Well, these are of little use to me, let them stay here, maybe it will be of some use."
"Lord, you don't know? These, these are too useful. ”
This Mu Lingxi really didn't know, so she was slightly stunned. Her intention was to add some greenery to the clearing.
"My father is an alchemist in the clan, but there is no elixir in Haiyou, so even if you want to practice Dan, there is no way. But now that he has these, he can refine the elixirs for his clansmen to improve their cultivation and all kinds of healing. ”
"Do you know the elixir?"
"Well, I also studied medicine and alchemy with my father, but because I didn't have elixir to practice my hands, I ...... Everything is only theoretical. ”
Lan Zhanli scratched his head embarrassedly.
Mu Lingxi turned around and looked at the extremely growing elixir behind him, and then turned back to look at Lan Zhanli. Asked: "Then can I learn alchemy with the patriarch?"
Hearing this, Lan Zhanli's eyes lit up instantly. Why not, it's too good. In this way, he will have more opportunities to get up close and personal with the Lord......
"Let's go to my father."
Lan Zhanli couldn't wait.
Mu Lingxi nodded.
In the secret territory of the Foggy Valley, the people of the shark tribe also have a new start and new expectations. But in the city, everything is a different scene.
Leng Feiye automatically surfaced, naturally with his intentions. Of course, the name of his Shadow Palace surfaced, and it did not mean that his base camp and hiding place were also known.
In the front hall of the Dark Night Palace, Leng Feiye made the final deployment. Tonight, just tonight, he can only succeed, not fail. Feeling the power after the promotion, Leng Feiye's sexy red lips slightly hooked an arc that turned all beings upside down. In his mind, Mu Lingxi's delicate looks were replayed over and over again.
"Palace Master, everything is ready."
Qingfeng bowed slightly to report.
Leng Feiye nodded, indicating that he understood. Now wait until it gets dark, and as soon as it gets dark, they will come out of their nests and kill the man.
Lingxi, is everything going well over there? You know, tonight, just tonight, your Flying Brother is going to do that, and when it's done, we'll be together forever.
Leng Feiye talked to Mu Lingxi in his heart.
He watched as the sun set little by little on the horizon, and then waited for the sky to get darker and darker. Until the hustle and bustle of the gold and silver streets has quieted down. There were tens of thousands of elite killers dressed in black and full of death, pouring out of the Night Palace. These killers are all masters of masters, and the strong dark aura on their bodies makes people frightened.
It looks chaotic, but it's actually orderly. All the killers were divided into four teams, led by Qingfeng, Yuebai, Beiyu and Nanyu, and they were divided into dozens of squads, each with a clear mission goal. Their mission is to hold back the guards in the palace, the secret guards, and all the hidden forces in the hands of the Emperor.
And Leng Feiye has only one goal, and that is the Human Emperor.
That's right, the Emperor of Man will appear alone in a place tonight, because he goes there alone on this day every year.
The heavy night hid the black shadows that flew by, and most of the people who left the city had fallen asleep. But in the Helian family, Helian Ziqian couldn't sleep for a long time. Because he had already known through a series of recent events that the person who captured him that day was the palace master of the Dark Night Palace, and he seemed to have made a big move recently. For Leng Feiye, Helian Ziqian's thoughts were complicated. Because Leng Feiye seems to be the only person who is currently related to Mu Xinyao and their daughter. In other words, if he wanted to see his daughter, he had to find a breakthrough from Leng Feiye.
Also not asleep were the crown prince Yi Tianyu and his subordinate Xiao Hong, not only did they not sleep at the moment, but they were also hidden in a corner of the palace. This is not the first time, but every day of the last few days, they have come over like this. Because from some clues, Yi Tianyu vaguely guessed some truths that were deliberately hidden.
"They're coming!"
Yi Tianyu said in a voice that only Xiao Hong could hear.
"Your Highness, what are we going to do then?"
Xiao Hong actually didn't quite understand his master's intentions. For the last seven or eight days, they have been guarding here every night, just to wait for the palace leader of the Dark Night Palace. But he had obviously found something before, but he didn't show His Majesty, but hid it in his heart.
"We don't do anything, watch."
Xiao Hong didn't understand it even more, he was here every night just to see the people of the Dark Night Palace come to assassinate His Majesty?
Naturally, the guards in the palace failed to spot those elite killers in the first place, so they quickly entered the palace. But those masters who hid in the shadows to protect the Human Emperor, and the Winged Eagle Guard soon discovered the traces of the killers. So the two sides quickly fought together.
These were part of the Cold Fly Night plan, so it wasn't a surprise. And Leng Feiye himself rushed into an ancestral hall unconsciously.
