Northern Xinjiang, Qin State.

Yechen lay motionless in the shade of the tree, his eyes fixed on the Qin soldiers on the trunk of the tree in front of him. The soldier was not wearing the usual red military uniform of the Qin State, but a black iron suit, which glowed faintly in the moonlight, looking very mysterious. This person's body was tense, exuding a thick aura of slaughter.

Yechen exhaled softly, seeing the soldier's appearance, Yechen knew that he had encountered a big fish this time. This is the uniform of the most mysterious and powerful special forces force of the Qin State, the Iron Guard. And he was born in the Tang State, which had been hated by the Qin State for generations, and was the contemporary head of the Ye family, the first military general family of the Tang State. Although he was only twenty-seven years old, he had already broken through the human realm a few days ago and stepped into the Yuan realm, which was unattainable for most people. You must know that Tang Guo has only three Yuan Realm cultivators so far, if you don't count his father Yeyun. As soon as he thought of his father, Yechen's heart was filled with anger towards the Qin State. Father has been famous for a long time, he is the last head of the night family, the mighty general of the Tang Hussars, and the master of the Yuan Realm. He has fought countless battles in his life and made great achievements. The Tang people regarded him as an invincible god of war, and he was also the demon king hated by the Qin people. Such a great soldier, if he died on the battlefield and was shrouded in horse leather, Yechen had nothing to say, but Qin took advantage of his father's love for the people, and on the way back from his father's expedition, he pretended to be a martyred citizen of Tang State in a roadside village, and lied to Yeyun that he could not bear the harassment of the bandits, and asked Yeyun to send troops to encircle and suppress the bandits. Yeyun immediately led dozens of soldiers into the mountains under their command to encircle and suppress the bandits. But he was surprised to find that the strength of the bandit was amazing, and it was almost the same as the Yejia Army trained by himself, and there was actually a master of the Yuan Realm inside. And just when Yeyun and the bandits were fighting fiercely, more than a dozen civilians who came together suddenly attacked him, and these dozen civilians were all masters of the fourth heaviest human realm, and for a while Yeyun was caught off guard, and was successfully attacked by them and seriously injured. Although he reluctantly used the Night Family's Star Sword Technique when he was in danger, severely damaged the enemy, and led the remaining soldiers to escape, he also died of his injuries. At that time, Yechen was only seventeen years old, and although he was considered to be the first genius of the Tang Kingdom, he was only the third level of cultivation in the human realm. After burying his father, he resolutely joined the army. Over the years, he has gradually made a name for himself in the army, and many people have appreciated the prestige of this night general. At the same time, he also inherited the position of the head of the night family, and faintly had the momentum of the night clouds. A few days ago, he broke the bottleneck in one fell swoop and stepped into the Yuan realm. It was just when he was full of ambition that a strange news came from the army - the spies who were on a mission in the eastern part of the Qin State suddenly couldn't be contacted, as if the world had evaporated. After hearing the news, Yechen couldn't bear it anymore, and quietly infiltrated the Qin State, carefully inquired all the way, and finally discovered this secret base the day before yesterday.

Night dust holds its breath and is quiet. The abundant spiritual power of the Yuan Realm gathered in his dantian under the guidance of the Ye Family Exercises, and was injected into the Star Sword by him. If it is an ordinary spirit sword, with the blessing of spiritual power, it will definitely appear with spiritual power and emit a dazzling light. However, the Xingchen Sword looked extremely strange, and I saw that with the blessing of such a strong spiritual power, the Xingchen Sword was only a little faint light on the surface, which was also the origin of the name of the Xingchen Sword. This sword is the ancestral treasure of the Ye family, and I don't know how many ancestors have passed before it reaches the hands of Ye Chen.

Ye Chen's eyes were fixed on the iron-clad guard in front of him, bending his feet, bowing his body, bouncing up, and the moment he attacked, the sword was already in his hand. The iron-clad guard only felt a flash of cold light in front of him, and he didn't know anything. Yechen pulled out the Xingchen Sword with an expressionless face, because the sword was too fast, and it didn't stir up the slightest blood. He carefully straightened the body and quietly retreated. A moment later, another iron-clad guard came to the bottom of the tree, kicked his feet on the ground, and floated up the tree, saying to the previous iron-clad guard, "It's time, I'll take your place." Seeing that the person in front of him did not react, he thought he was asleep, so he frowned and prepared to go up and reprimand him. Suddenly, he felt a compelling sword aura coming from the side, and the expression on his face changed greatly, with the instinctive reaction that he had honed over the years between life and death, he gathered all his spiritual power to protect his vital parts, intending to resist this blow at the cost of serious injury, and then escape with the momentum of the sword. But his abacus still failed, the moment the Xingchen Sword penetrated his body, his eyes were dry, and he struggled to utter two words "Yuan Realm" in his mouth, and he fell headlong, and died so much that he couldn't die anymore. At this point, the two Iron Guards, who had been recultivated into the second level of the Celebrity Realm, had killed the hands of Yechen in just a few minutes.

Yechen held the later Iron Guard, fixed him to a tree, then stripped off the Iron Guard's iron suit, put it on himself, and finally buried his body under the tree, and went in the direction of the base. According to his observations in the past few days, he found that these ironclad guards changed shifts every two hours, which was enough time for him to go back and forth. The Iron Guard's iron suit was full, and even his face was covered, so Yechen didn't worry about being recognized. But as the night dust approached step by step, the shock in my heart became more and more intense. On this road, it can really be described as a three-meter dark whistle and a five-meter bright whistle, all of which are iron-clad guards. Fortunately, when they saw the iron coat on Yechen's body, they didn't suspect him and let him go. After walking for about five hundred meters, a dragon-shaped sculpture appeared in front of the night dust, and the dragon's mouth was wide open, looking extremely hideous. Night dust looked at it, only to find that there was a passage in the dragon's mouth, leading directly to the underground. Yechen took a few deep breaths, calmed down, and stepped into the dragon's mouth.

After walking down for more than ten meters, the road calmed down, he looked at the surrounding environment, the passage is very wide, can accommodate four people to pass side by side, there are torches inserted every ten meters or so on both sides of the passage, at this time some torches still make a snapping sound from time to time, adding a weirdness to the environment here. Yechen continued to walk inside, and some iron doors began to appear next to him one after another, with huge iron locks hanging on the doors, and the air exuded a smell of blood and mold. There was a sudden scream in front of me, which made people feel creepy. Yechen quickened his pace, and after walking for about three minutes, a conversation suddenly came from the front, "My lord, can't the success rate of this holy light infusion really be higher?" There are more than twenty people here, except for one Yuan Realm and three Yuan Realm Fourth Realm, everyone else has exploded and died" "Hmph! What are you doing when you are Yuan Realm, and you want to create it?" I really don't know what is good about you in this poor and remote place, but you let the church bother so much and support your Qin State, not to mention, this time the Holy Envoy sent me over to assist you, it really hurts me, and it is not comfortable to do anything in this place. Listening to what he had just spoken, the man hurriedly apologized and said, "Thank you for your hard work, and we're just worried that we won't be able to complete the Holy Envoy's order." This Holy Light Infusion can only be used once a month, and at this rate, it will be more than ten years before our plan is launched. "Hmph, you don't want to leave this hellish place quickly, but how dare I disobey the orders of adults. So, let's wait. You put the test object into the formation, and I'll activate the formation. Yechen secretly said that this matter was by no means ordinary, and immediately used a secret method to conceal the fluctuations of spiritual power on his body, and his body was tightly attached to the wall like a gecko, moving forward. Yechen moved cautiously, trying not to touch anything by himself, and walked about fifty meters, and a hole appeared in front of him, and there were people in it, so Yechen hurriedly stopped, his head was slightly off, and he looked into the hole.

There was a lot of space in the cave, and there were vaguely five or six people inside, and listening to their voices from time to time, Yechen judged the person who had just spoken. The owner of the previous whispered voice was actually a master of the Yuan Yuan Realm! Not only that, but there was also a person with the same powerful breath and a cold and handsome face, standing silently aside. However, the person who kept complaining just now was only the third-level cultivator in the human realm, but he was dressed in a pure white robe, and his appearance gave people a warm and peaceful feeling, and he was actually a person of the Holy Bishop. This holy bishop is the state religion established by the Qin State a hundred years ago, and over the years, it has been extremely popular in the Qin State and its surrounding countries.

At this moment, the two iron-clad guards were carrying a young man with a pale face and walking towards a high platform, surrounded by eight pillars carved with strange symbols, and the top of the high platform was opened up, and the sun was shining down. The two iron-clad guards placed the boy in the middle of the platform and hurriedly retreated. At this time, eight white rays of light shot out from the hands of the holy bishop and hit the eight pillars respectively, and the eight pillars shook slightly, and then the eight white lights rose to the sky and shot into the sky, and the sky seemed to be stimulated, and the sunlight shot down became more and more abundant, and gradually the young man inside was completely invisible, and only heard the inhuman screams of the young man inside, as if he was suffering the most painful punishment in the world. And the voice is getting more and more hoarse, which makes people listen to it very worryingly. After about half a pillar of incense, the white light gradually faded, revealing the figure inside, only to see that the young man just now was gone, replaced by a middle-aged man with all white hair, but the eyebrows and eyes could still be vaguely identified as the same person as the young man just now. What surprised Yechen even more was that the spiritual power fluctuations on his body were on par with himself!" Haha, it's done, it's a Yuan Realm again, and the Lord is mighty. The low-voiced master of the Yuan Yuan Realm couldn't stop praising the man in white. The man in white was also quite complacent, nodding his head constantly. Ye Chen was shocked when he saw such a strange scene, if they were really allowed to go on like this, Tang Guo would be in danger! Ye Chen slowly moved forward, wanting to destroy the eight pillars or kill the Holy Bishop. But before he could move a few steps, he felt that he had touched something, and the white-clothed man inside had a gleam in his eyes, and he looked at the place where the night dust was, and said coldly in his mouth, "What kind of person?" The two Yuan Realm masters also reacted, and they showed their weapons one after another, rushing towards this side, and the two iron-clad guards were even more iron-clad guards who blew their horns to show their unexpected face. Yechen no longer hid his breath at this time, and quickly retreated, but he heard many sounds coming from the entrance of the passage, presumably the ironclad guards outside were already rushing to this side. Yechen was in a hurry, if he was surrounded by the front and back, there was really no way to escape. So he didn't hesitate at the moment, the spiritual power in his body was driven with all his strength, the sword pointed directly above him, and before the arrival of the two powerhouses of the Yuan Realm, he used the swordsmanship of the Ye family to go up, and opened the way with the sword, wanting to rush directly to the ground. The grim-faced master of the Peeping Yuan Realm obviously discovered Ye Chen's thoughts, only to see him snort coldly, and the big knife in his hand flew out, hitting Ye Chen's back, Ye Chen's mouth spurted blood, and his body was also beaten, but he was stabbed in the arm by another person with a spear. But he ignored it and continued to rush upwards, finally hitting the ground. But he didn't dare to relax for a moment, and immediately rushed in the opposite direction from which he came. Not far behind, the two followed closely, and the three of them quickly moved away from the base and ran towards the forest in the distance.

After running wildly for more than an hour, Yechen's vision was blurred, and although his steps were fast, he was frivolous, apparently due to excessive blood loss. He knew in his heart that he was afraid that he would not be able to escape this catastrophe, but this matter was very important, and it was a small matter for him to die here, if he let the Qin State carry out this plan, it would become a catastrophe for the Tang State. So he didn't want to give up yet, and continued to run forward, letting his instincts pull him away. If he had been sober at this time, he would have noticed that there was a passage in front of him, and the scenery inside was completely different from that behind Yechen, and after Yechen entered, the passage disappeared, along with Yechen's figure that had finally run out of oil and had fallen to the ground.

After a while, the two masters of the Yuan Realm came here, and the mouth of the grim-faced person muttered, "Impossible, I have been locking his breath, how can it disappear here?" The two of them walked around for a long time, but they still couldn't find anything, and the person with a cold face snorted coldly, and said, "A group of waste, they can actually put a Yuan Realm master in, and they must kill them all after they go back." The other person sighed and said to his companion, "It's so far, it's useless to blame them, I thought that the two masters of the Great Yuan Realm of Tang Kingdom were under our supervision, but I didn't expect another one to pop up, look at his swordsmanship, it's the night dust of the Ye family." This night home is really difficult, just killed a night cloud, and then another night dust popped out. Let's go back first, in my opinion, if he is hit by you and me, the probability of survival is not very high. The grim-faced man nodded, and the two returned the way they came.

Yechen opened his eyes and found himself lying on a bed, with a beautiful woman in front of him looking at him with a smile on her lips. Yechen was at a loss in his heart, and whispered to himself, "Am I dead?" but in exchange for a burst of laughter like silver bells, the woman covered her mouth and smiled, "You are an interesting person, you have been unconscious for a few days, and you only said that you are dead." Only then did Yechen come back to his senses, and saw that his upper body**, it turned out that the place where he was stabbed by a knife and spear was coated with herbs, and the wound had already scarred. Seeing that the woman's hand was still on her chest, and she could still feel the warmth of her palm, her face suddenly became hot, and she knew that the person in front of her had saved her, so she hurriedly got up and said, "Thank you girl for saving your life." The woman's smile diminished slightly, and she said, "I live here alone." The day before yesterday, I saw that you were seriously injured and entered this place by mistake, and I couldn't bear to see you die in front of my eyes, so I opened the formation and let you in. Yechen was puzzled in his heart, and said, "What does the formation in the girl's mouth mean?" The woman sighed and said, "The predecessors of our clan are disgusted with this world, so they have taken our people to live here in seclusion for generations, and set up a formation to separate themselves from the outside world, and have not been in contact with the outside world for many years. Over the years, there have been fewer and fewer people in my people, and the other day, even my mother passed away, and now I am the only one left here. With that, he lowered his head, and the sadness on his face could not be hidden. Although Yechen didn't understand her words, she also knew that this girl was lonely and pitiful, and a warm current flowed in her heart at the moment, and she hurriedly said, "The girl will save my life, so I will take care of the girl for the rest of my life, and if the girl is willing, she can treat me as a relative." The woman smiled at Yechen, and her smile made Yechen feel like a spring breeze. She was silent for a while, then said, "Thank you then, I have lived here since I was born and have never been out, I hope you can tell me about the outside world." There are also girls and girls, my name is An Qing, you can call me Qing'er. "Qing'er" A trace of tenderness flashed in Yechen's eyes, and he said softly.

One day two months later, Ye Chen ran the Ye Family Exercises for three large weeks, and after clearing all the dark diseases in his body, he stopped practicing, walked out of the house, and looked around at the surrounding environment. Although the world is small, covering an area of only more than 1,000 acres, it has a beautiful environment, all kinds of rare and exotic beasts can be seen everywhere, a hundred flowers compete for beauty, and ten thousand trees grow. Now that the outside world has entered the late autumn, there is no sign of decay here, and the rapids of the years no longer seem to flow here, but converge into a lake.

Not far away, there was a melodious and beautiful flute sound, Yechen chuckled, no longer nostalgic for the scenery here, and strode in the direction where the flute came from. Passing through a small forest, Yechen saw a small lake, and in the middle of the lake there was a small pavilion, and a woman was standing by the pavilion, looking at the water, with an elegant posture, like a fairy who had lost the world. She held a bamboo flute in her hand and put it to her mouth, and the sound of the flute came from here. Around her are all kinds of beautiful birds, dancing to the sound of her flute, even the fish in the water are not willing to be lonely, and from time to time jump out of the water to respond to the beautiful sound of the flute. Yechen couldn't bear to disturb this fairyland-like picture, so he stood by the lake, smiling and admiring.

After a long time, the sound of the flute stopped, the dancing birds left, and the fish in the water disappeared. Yechen slowly clapped his hands and expressed his admiration to her. An Qing nodded at Yechen, smiled slightly, put down the bamboo flute, and walked towards the shore through the small bridge on the lake. "Brother Chen, do I blow it well?" An Qing raised her head and asked playfully. "This song should only be in the sky, and it is rare to ask a few times in the world. I once heard Lu Yi, the first musician of the Tang Kingdom, play in Chang'an, and I was shocked that there was such a beautiful sound in the world. After listening to your flute today, I realized that he is a little more contrived, a little less natural, a little more worldly, and a little less elegant than you. There is no need to say more about which is better or worse. An Qing's eyes were bent into crescents with a smile, "Really?" "Then I'll blow it to you every day from now on." "Okay, Qing'er. It's just" "What's wrong?" "If it is according to my wishes, how I wish I could stay here with you for a long time, but I am the general of the Tang Kingdom, and now the country is in trouble, but I have to go back to defend the country, so, so" Speaking of this, Yechen paused, pressed his hands on An Qing's shoulders, looked directly at her, and said word by word, "Qing'er, are you willing to go back to the Tang Kingdom with me?" An Qing felt that she was being stared at by him, but she didn't want to avoid it, she looked at Ye Chen seriously, and said, "I do." If I hadn't met you, I might have lived here alone until I died of old age. But, Brother Chen, I am reluctant to part with you, and I am also eager to know your country, your family, your life, and everything about you. That's when I truly love you. Moreover, the blood of our clan cannot be broken. So, Brother Chen, I want you to marry me. Yechen was excited, hugged the person in front of him into his arms, and said softly, "Qing'er, I will definitely marry you, and I will definitely make you the happiest person in the world." "Hmm. The two of them said no more, and looked at each other, as if the person in their eyes was the whole world.
