Chapter Seventy-Six: The Pavilion Kills
Walking on Phoenix's thoroughfare, the streets are lined with shops. It's not as sacred as people think, it's supposed to be a majestic place.
It's more like a bustling city, with people of all kinds filling the streets.
If it weren't for the approaching war, there would be more cultivators with swords in their hands on the road, and fewer pot-bellied vendors, and this place would be even more lively.
But even so, the prosperity of Phoenix City can make any human country in the Dragon Soul Continent embarrassed. It is a bustling city in the West and a paradise for businessmen.
Because of the lack of various materials in Phoenix, the people who live here mainly make a living from mining.
Phoenix City, which is rich in minerals, provides countless Fire Divine Crystals for the Dragon Soul Continent every year, low-grade Fire Divine Crystals can be used as gems for circulation, and high-quality ones are treasures that cultivators, especially those who cultivate Fire Attribute True Qi, dream of.
Legend has it that the fire god crystal is the spar left here after the bones of the phoenix god's body turned into fragments after Nirvana, a high-grade fire crystal may contain powerful fire attribute energy, if it is a cultivation of fire attribute true qi, you can continuously extract energy from the fire crystal, and then transform it into fire attribute spiritual power, and then improve your own cultivation.
With this kind of fire god crystal, which can be found everywhere, almost everyone in the locals is rich.
Even if you can't find a high-gradeโฎ, wwโw. Fire Crystal, you can find some ordinary Fire Crystal that can be used as money. Therefore, although there is often the danger of demon infestation here, there is still an endless stream of people from the Dragon Soul Continent looking for opportunities to make a fortune.
Gradually, those people settled here, and they were permanently protected by Phoenix. After the population became dense, the vendors came to provide all kinds of supplies that were scarce here, and earned a large amount of Fire Crystals.
As he was walking on the main road, suddenly a group of cavalrymen wearing red armor rushed from the other side of the road towards the people of the Heavenly Dao Academy. The horses under their seats are also red all over, and they also have a red horn on the top of their heads, which looks very strange.
The horse team stopped neatly in front of the Heavenly Dao Academy group, and the leading man smiled and clenched his fists: "Distinguished guests from the Heavenly Dao Academy, we have just received a notice, please go to the pavilion to rest." Her Royal Highness the Princess has not returned for the time being, and the city lord has asked you to wait there for the time being. โ
"The city lord of Phoenix City already knows that we are coming?" Xuanyuan Yu asked in surprise, how long had they been in the city, and the city lord who was busy already knew that they had entered the city?
The leading sergeant smiled and nodded: "You are distinguished guests, and the original city master personally received you. It's just that the big war is imminent, and the city owner is busy with too many things, so he ordered the young general to come and arrange for the distinguished guests to rest. When the lord of the castle has time, he must receive you in person. โ
Ling Yun shook his head with a smile: "The dignified Phoenix City Lord, the number one master in the Dragon Soul Continent, is still so unshelf-free, it's really rare." You lead the way, and we will follow you. โ
Following behind the group of red cavalry, Long Yunzhou quietly asked Ling Yun: "Master, you said that Xingyue's father is the number one master in the Dragon Soul Continent, is he more powerful than you?"
Ling Yun shook his head: "I don't know, but before I entered the Illusory Saint Realm, he was definitely much stronger than me." He is a young talent, the purest inheritor of phoenix blood, and he can already spread the wings of the fire phoenix god at a young age, which is the wings that the phoenix god only had back then. Do you think he's awesome?"
Long Yun salivaed, he didn't expect Xingyue's father to be so powerful, even Old Man Lingyun didn't dare to boast that he was better than that person.
"Such a powerful person, who is still thinking about us at such a time, seems to be very easy to speak. Long Yunzhou was worried about how to face this father-in-law in the future, and asked a little worriedly.
"Easy to talk to?" Ling Yun snorted coldly: "If you think so, it would be very wrong, he is a pure psychopath, arrogant, and the most difficult." What I just said is the opposite, this guy actually sent someone to receive us in his busy schedule, I really can't figure out what this guy is thinking in his head!"
Long Yunzhou's legs felt soft, what's the matter, could it be that his future father-in-law is also a neurotic like Ling Yun?
This is miserable, I lost psychologically for a while before we met, and what should I say when I meet in the first sentence after that? Hi, how are you doing with my neurotic father-in-law?
The Phoenix Pavilion is located on a jutting hill with a rare number of green plants.
Although Long Yunzhou can't name these plants, it is indeed much more pleasing to the eye to live here, much better than always looking at the monotonous red.
After sending them here, the cavalry departed. Now there is a shortage of soldiers everywhere in the city, and they still have their own things to do.
The ministers of the pavilion knew that these were distinguished guests from the Heavenly Dao Academy, and they were also the people whom the city lord personally told him to serve well.
He was busy with a few people, serving tea and pouring water all at once, and plates of local specialty food in Phoenix City were sent in a flowing manner, and the postman was diligent like an old mother, lest there be something that was not well served.
Ling Yun looked at him as an eyesore, always dangling in front of his eyes. Soon he became impatient, and shouted a rolling word, so frightened that the postman did not appear again until dark.
The final sunset set on the side of the Dark Mountain, and Phoenix was clothed in the cloak of stars. As night falls, the temperature drops suddenly, and it's so cold that you even want to wear winter clothes.
After dinner, everyone went back to their bedrooms. Ling Yun still lived in the same room as Long Yunzhou, he stared at Long Yunzhou tightly, and sat down on the bed opposite him.
"Senior, can you come out now?" Ling Yun said lightly.
Along the way, he had deep questions about the Ice Palace, but he never had time to spare and ask questions. Now that he has nothing to do, he finally can't help but want to solve the doubts in his heart.
A cyan light shot out from Long Yunzhou's sea of knowledge, and Emperor Long Qing sat at the table with a smile, pretending to pour himself a cup of tea.
But he is obviously a disembodied ghost, Long Yunzhou said in his heart that you are pure nonsense, if you have the ability, you can drink the tea and show me.
"Boy, I know what you're trying to ask. I've been in his body for days, just waiting for you to ask. Emperor Long Qing really didn't drink that cup of tea, and Long Yunzhou couldn't help but cheer in his heart.
"There, what kind of place is it?" Ling Yun lowered his voice, as soon as he mentioned the Ice Palace, he remembered Mei Ruoyu, and the sadness in his heart suddenly spread throughout his body.
"The Ice Palace, for you, is a place of legend. But for me, it's very familiar. Because I built it and gave it to a dragon half-breed to guard it. He possesses a powerful Yin Qi that can control the resurrection of the dead and firmly control the souls of the dead. Emperor Long Qing said calmly.
"You made it?" Ling Yun's eyes widened, and he looked at Emperor Long Qing incredulously.
"Yes, I made it. Emperor Long Qing didn't care about Ling Yun's eyes that could kill people at all, he was originally dead anyway: "In my time, the battles between the same clan were fierce. In order to finally defeat all my opponents, I created the Ice Palace, where I could absorb the Yin Qi of Heaven and Earth and store all the Yin Qi in the cold ice. Use yin energy to control the dead and make them a terrifying army. โ
Emperor Long Qing sighed and said, "That was originally a force that I hid, but unfortunately I didn't have time to use it, and my body has been broken to pieces. โ
Ling Yun's eyes seemed to be dripping blood, his teeth were clenched against his lips, and his hands were clenched into miserable white fists. He stared at Emperor Long Qing tightly and asked word by word, "Since you created it, why didn't you save her in the first place?"
Long Yunzhou was stunned, he knew who Ling Yun was talking about. Emperor Long Qing created there, and he must have known that the resurrected person had no soul, and if he had appeared at that time to save Mei Ruoyu, maybe Mei Ruoyu would not have died tragically.
"I can't save her. "Emperor Long Qing is very calm.
"Nonsense, you created there. Everything there should listen to you, why can't you save her? As long as you are willing to show up at that time, the resurrected Xiao Leng will definitely not kill her. "Ling
The cloud roared frantically, and tears flowed down unconsciously. If you didn't look at his handsome appearance but know his actual age, no one would have thought that an old man in his two hundred years old would be so sad.
Mei Ruoyu's death hit him too hard, and he restrained his sad outbursts in his heart along the way. But at this moment, he couldn't control it anymore, and his eyes erupted with fiery red light.
"I really can't save her, no soul without ** is allowed to act alone in the Land of Absolute Yin. At that time, as soon as I appeared, I would be immediately controlled by the owner of the Ice Palace. I'm sorry, but I created it, but it's all a thing of the past, and with my current abilities, I can't control that place anymore. โ
Emperor Long Qing said a little sad, he was already a lonely ghost who had no body and could only live in Long Yunzhou's body.
When Mei Ruoyu was killed by Xiao Leng, he hid in a corner of Long Yunzhou's knowledge of the sea, and he didn't even dare to say a word.
As long as he made the slightest move, he would most likely be discovered by the owner of the Ice Palace, and a valuable soul like Emperor Long Qing would definitely not be able to escape the fate of being refined.
Ling Yun's whole body was paralyzed, sitting crookedly on the bed, but there was a vicious light in his eyes: "I must destroy that damn place, those harmful things should not exist in this world." โ
Emperor Long Qing sighed and suddenly raised his head: "I think, before you set foot in the Ice Palace, you should deal with the danger outside the house first." โ
"Danger?" Ling Yun's eyes widened, they were in Phoenix City, what danger would they have.
"Don't you believe it, then listen!" Long Qingdi smiled and slowly disappeared, and the blue light gradually shrank into Long Yunzhou's body.
Ling Yun and Long Yunzhou stood up at the same time, Emperor Long Qing had already warned them that danger was coming, and that danger must be not far away.
There was not even a single insect chirp in the silence around him, and the postman who was nagging in the front yard ten minutes ago suddenly shut up.
The whole post station is a little scary, because it is too quiet, so it is more dangerous.
"Yunzhou, draw your sword. Ling Yun said slowly, just at the location of the window, a pair of huge wings were slowly spreading in the dark
