Chapter 36: The Return
The Far East
The cold wind was biting, and on the vast ice field, a short young boy, dressed in a bloated and fat purple coat, was flying alone on the ice field...
This is the seven nights that a person walked out of the hell ice valley alive, and now he is the 'junior fifth stage', and his spiritual power in his body is comparable to the 'mid-battle level quadruple', with sufficient spiritual power guarantee, plus "Shadow Step" has been cultivated to the stage of 'Ling Bu and skilled', and the seven nights on the ice field are light and vigorous, and they are swept across the ice with light steps and vigorous postures, bringing up snowflakes all the way, like a swallowtail paddling across a peaceful lake. Occasionally stop and look around to see the tracks to confirm the direction of the return trip.
On the way back, it may be too lonely to travel day and night. Qiye was running while trying to chat with the Great Protector in his body. Especially about his own life experience, Qiye had too many questions that he wanted to verify, but the Great Protector was silent, as if it didn't exist, and he didn't respond to a word.
Now that the Great Protector is no longer a threat to his life, although it is still unknown what the future will be, he still needs the guidance of the Great Protector when he thinks about whether he can get out safely now. And in the tireless nagging of Qiye, the Great Protector who was so weak that he only had the soul seal left, was so noisy that he couldn't be at peace, couldn't meditate and cultivated, and finally had no choice but to reply without a word, but for Qiye's life experience, the Great Protector kept silent.
However, Seven Nights learned another news: it turned out that three months before Seven Nights came to this Far East with the army, a mysterious person had already come alone. At that time, the Great Protector only vaguely sensed that someone was coming at the edge of the ice field, but that person did not approach, but only hid from a distance, and that person's concealment technique was very good, not at all like a secret method that the human race spiritual cultivation could cultivate, so the Great Protector could not specifically capture the breath of that mysterious person. However, after the mysterious man sensed that the ice valley was sealed with an abnormal demonic aura, he quickly and quietly retreated...
"Someone has already come before us, and it's not an ordinary human devotional. It seems that what those two city lords are looking for is really valuable! not only coveted by the human race. However, who would have thought that at the bottom of this remote polar valley, there would be an evil Great Protector of the Heaven Devouring Clan?" After hearing such news, Qiye's heart sank, and a trace of doubt and curiosity flashed in his mind: Who is that mysterious person, and where does it come from?...
On the other hand, in order to leave the Far East as soon as possible, Qiye tirelessly urged his footwork to gallop on the snow every day. After waiting for the end of the day to feel a little tired, Qiye took out a spirit stone from the spirit ring to replenish his spiritual power. A spirit stone the size of an egg requires a full 1 cart of spirit ore to be refined, and basically the spiritual power of a spirit stone is enough to meet the energy consumption of seven nights and one day. And the use of spirit stones like this one by one is also a luxury that Qiye has never imagined. After continuous and repeated training along the way, as well as great improvement in strength. The "step, proficiency stage" has been more and more smooth: the pace is unpredictable, the shadow follows, the speed is dashing, the movement is like fluttering...
Day and night flow, and in this way, seven days and nights, they hurried without stopping, and at night they gathered their breath and hid themselves from unknown dangers. Seven days later, Seven Nights quickly walked out of the ice field... After another two days, Qiye flew out of the snow and into the ice and snow pine forest. In order to guard against the giant wolf who didn't know where to hide and was ready to sneak attack in the ice and snow pine forest, Qiye began to slow down. With the slightest movement, he streaked across the snow following the trail of the previous retreat of the army, and his figure galloped away ghostly on the snow road. The dense pine forest, even during the day, looks extremely dark.
In the pine forest, seven nights of eyes and ears, carefully observe all suspicious movements around them, and always maintain a high degree of vigilance. At night, Seven Nights completely converges its aura and hides high in the treetops. The Mixed Yuan Refining Realm in the body perfectly converges the aura of the whole body, and the seven nights that maintain the weakest breath are as lonely and invisible as a leaf, hiding in the taiga forest and blending into the surrounding environment.
Sitting against a tree, one eye fell into a deep sleep in the seven nights, and his eyes were slightly squinting and manipulating the pupils that consumed the lowest spiritual power, radiating the surroundings and alerting him for any abnormal movements around him. Although his strength has improved significantly, he is still weak alone, and he is alone in this dangerous polar region, and he may be killed in a pack of wolves if he is not careful, so every step is like walking on thin ice, and any wind and grass is always affecting the sensitive nerves of Qiye.
In this way, six days passed, and seven nights gradually walked out of the ice and snow pine forest. Coming to a forest of cold leaves, this is already the outermost part of the Far East Domain, and the danger is relatively reduced. But despite this, Seven Nights still did not let down their vigilance. Being able to successfully emerge from the abyss of death, step by step, alive, will inevitably develop an astonishing sense of sense and smell, and any abnormal tranquility and the slight rustle of dead leaves being crushed will trigger the sensitivity and vigilance of Seven Nights.
Just when he was speeding through the forest of Qiye, his eyes flickered, and on the edge of an inconspicuous moss bluestone in the depths of the forest, a touch of brightly colored items flashed in the afterglow of his eyes, but it formed a distinct strong color difference with the surrounding dim environment, which suddenly attracted the attention of Qiye.
"Huh, what's that?" Nanaya sighed softly, slowly buffering his speedy footsteps. When I stopped, I looked closely at the gray corner of the bluestone: I saw a small piece of brightly colored cloth revealing the cover of the bluestone corner, like an item in the corner of the cloth, and more parts were hidden behind the rock. After watching quietly for a while, I was a little hesitant to take the risk to find out.
Although it is only a few hundred meters away, the forest is dense and dark, and the bluestone is messy, and if there are fierce beasts hiding, it is really impossible to find them in time. However, with his current strength, Qiye is still more confident to fight... After some psychological struggle, Nanaya gritted his teeth and tiptoed forward. He casually took out the Nine Curved Silver Snake Sword from the spirit ring, carefully covered it along the woods, and slowly touched it...
Walking in front of the bluestone, Qiye stretched out his head to take a look, and was stunned for a moment: it turned out that behind the moss bluestone, it was the corpse of a burly middle-aged man. I saw the man lying in a gorgeous brocade robe in black bloodstains, his whole body was lifeless and barren, his robe was messy, his limbs were black, his face was hideous, and his eyes were full of hatred and anger. looks unwilling to die, and is bound to take revenge.
"He's... The city lord of Cold Spirit City, the cold banner!" Qiye was surprised from the dark and indistinguishable face of the deceased. Although he had only seen it from afar a few times before in the army, Nanaya, who still remembered it vividly, still recognized the identity of the deceased.
"What's going on, what's going on?The City Lord of Cold Spirit City, why did he die here for no reason?Could it really be..."Qiye guessed in his heart, but he was still puzzled. Cautiously stepping forward, he crouched down to examine the corpse carefully, trying to find out the reason for it.
"Don't touch it! He's poisoned. Just as Qiye wanted to reach out and touch the corpse, the Great Protector, who had been quiet in his body for many days, suddenly spoke. Qiye was startled, and the hand that was about to be grabbed suddenly stiffened in mid-air, although it was stopped in time within reach, but after a while, I was afraid that it still made Qiye's vest cold.
"What? 'Gu Poison'! The Great Dharma Protector means that he was poisoned?" Qiye withdrew his hand stupidly, and sighed in his heart, 'It's dangerous'. Looking at the black blood stains remaining on the ground, his voice trembled. Although he didn't have a good impression of the Great Protector, looking at the situation in front of him, it seemed that it was really as he said: in this forest infested by fierce beasts, if it wasn't poisoned and died, how could the corpse have been preserved intact until now? And the moss and grass infected with black blood stains were completely dead.
Thinking of the ice valley in the extreme east before, Liu Bingwei's death was also plotted by a poisonous needle, and he was able to sneak attack by surprise when he was defenseless, and the only ones who could do this were Han Qi, Wolf Bingwei, and Shui Lianggong, and now that Han Qi was also poisoned, there were only two people left. It goes without saying that the murderer is one of these two.
"Who are these two people?, or are they both?" scratching his head, Nanaya wondered in his heart. After a short period of contemplation, although he had no interest in murder for power, he thought that he was involved in such a conspiracy with an army of 200,000 and became a victim. 200,000 lives were lost, and he even walked in the ghost gate. Thinking of this, even Qiye, who was already indifferent to the life and death of others, was filled with strong resentment in his heart, and he couldn't hold back his desire to learn.
"Who the hell is it!" Just as Qiye gritted his teeth with hatred, he didn't notice it, and his right arm began to heat up unconsciously. Immediately after a violent burning sensation, a blazing black demon flame burst out of the palm of his hand, and the sudden hot sensation on his arm made the distracted Qiye wake up immediately.
"Great Protector! you..."Qiye, who reacted, immediately sensed that it was the Great Protector who was making trouble, and asked angrily. However, before he finished speaking, a sharp pain interrupted his words, and a pale color suddenly appeared on Qiye's face.
"Hehe... Anyway, it's a waste to keep this corpse, so it's better for you and me to absorb it to increase our strength a little, why not?" the Great Protector said with a cold smile.
Subsequently, the black demon flame burned more and more, and his right arm was completely out of Qiye's control, but he could no longer feel the burning pain as intensely as the first time. Immediately afterwards, the Black Demon Flame transformed into a giant python, engulfing the whole body of the cold flag corpse in one go, and then continued to burn... The black toxin on the corpse's skin was burned out at a speed visible to the naked eye, and a moment later, the black demon flame on the corpse carried majestic spiritual power and was extracted into Qiye's body through his right arm.
A torrent of energy that was even greater than before, like the breaking of the heavenly river, rushed down and poured into the spirit realm of the seven nights. This is the spiritual power cultivation of the Cold Banner's "Battle Soul Level Early Stage Triple", which is 10 times thicker than the spiritual power of Liu Bingwei's 'Battle Axe Level Late Stage Ninefold' that he absorbed before. In an instant, it filled the dantian spiritual realm of the "primary five sections" of the seven nights. The pain in his body that was about to burst once again made Qiye taste hell on earth and the taste of pain. Even so, the Black Demon Flame did not slow down the speed of extraction, and the spirit realm was constantly extending outward...
