Chapter 50: Entrustment
In the dark night, what kind of powerful light can penetrate the endless darkness at that moment, illuminating all the haze that envelops life.
The word "kill" once again shook the four fields, and more than 100 ice towers all collapsed in an instant, shooting the ice and snow divine light in the sky, converging into a vast ice and snow cold wave. This cold wave evolved from the void, as if it was about to completely subvert a night sky into a silver-white ice and snow world. The night sky like a black curtain was torn open by a huge force, and countless huge cracks were torn apart, and these cracks were densely covered in the entire sky, exuding bursts of cold air.
A small dark blue flame began to emerge from the second elder's Baizhang Ice Cockroach True body, and as soon as this flame appeared, the second elder's aura suddenly began to surge, climbing all the way as if it was unstoppable.
The cold sword light in his hand shot out a more brilliant edge, and the sword body suddenly skyrocketed several times, and the body followed the sword into the rolling demon clouds like a tide without hesitation, and in an instant, there was a bloody wind and blood rain scattered one after another, which seemed to be able to dye the sky red.
All the people of the Cold Cantis clan did not hesitate, and they let out an angry roar from their mouths, and rushed forward one after another following in the footsteps of the second elder.
"Hmph!" a cold voice resounded through the void, this voice was not loud, but it was extremely clear, with a breathtaking power, as if it could pierce directly into the depths of the soul.
The young man who had escaped a long distance also heard this snort, and his whole body was stunned in an instant, as if a burst of electricity had passed, and then a mouthful of blood spurted out, although the young man's face was extremely pale, and his breath was extremely unstable, but he still gritted his teeth and lifted all his demonic power, and ran away.
A moment later, there was a terrible cry from the second elder, and then it disappeared, and gradually it never sounded again. The light of the desperate resistance of the hundreds of clansmen gradually dimmed, and after a while, the area had returned to calm.
Tears appeared in the corners of the young man's eyes, he looked down at the young child on his chest, gritted his teeth, and disappeared into the darkness without looking back.
"In that battle, I was already seriously injured internally, and after escaping from the clan, I was exhausted, but I knew that it was still within the danger range, in order to protect the safety of the young master, I had to use the secret method of permanent loss of essence to forcibly condense the demon power, and take the young master away from the station of the demon clan, and came to the center of the Hongbarren Continent to hide. The old man said quietly.
Zhao Qing suddenly realized at this time, and said: "It turns out that the scale that Senior Sister Yan is holding in her hand belongs to the young master of your clan, if my guess is right, the young master of your clan should be in the promotion realm in the last few days." ”
The old man nodded and said, "Yes, the young master has been at a critical juncture in his promotion to the fifth order recently, and he can't stand the slightest disturbance, if you hadn't come to capture that little snake demon, I probably wouldn't have shown up." ”
"It's been three hundred years, how can the young master of your clan still only have the strength of the fifth order, will there be any problems in this?" Zhao Qing was puzzled, it took three hundred years of penance to reach the realm of the fifth order, which was no different from the most ordinary cultivator with the most ordinary qualifications, as the inheritor of the bloodline of the Han Yan clan, it should not be possible to be this result.
"There is no doubt that the young master does only have this strength, I said that among the ten major royal families, there are Zhen clan divine soldiers, these divine soldiers suppress all the luck of a clan, but our clan's 'Heavenly Ice Crystal Flame' has retreated to the spirit level treasure, losing the role of suppressing luck, my Han Yan clan exists in name only, if I lose the blessing of luck, I lose the blessing of luck, we are like the most ordinary beast demon spirit, it is impossible to cultivate too strong in three hundred years. ”
"In those three hundred years, didn't the Huoyun Clan send people to hunt you down?"
"The place where our demon clan lives is the edge of the four poles of the Flood Continent, which is far away from the habitat of your human race, and there has been an agreement between the two sides since ancient times, not to trespass into the territory where the other party lives at will, otherwise it will be a great disaster. ”
"Why is that, and what does it mean that the catastrophe is coming?" Zhao Qing asked.
"I don't know the specifics, it is said that according to ancient legends, the two races of the demons have not been separated since ancient times, and there have been several tragic wars, both sides have paid an immeasurable price, and then the power of the demon clan has reached an unwritten agreement with the masters of your human race, and the two sides must not cross the boundaries of their respective regions without authorization, otherwise everyone can be punished!"
Zhao Qing nodded slightly and said: "It turns out that what we often say 'there is a difference between demons' has been passed down like this, this is the first time I've heard of it, no wonder some of us often shout and kill demon beasts, and the reason for this is like this." ”
"The demon beasts that your human race often mention, just like the little snake demon you want to capture that day, it is not a demon race in the real sense, it can only be regarded as a spirit that has just opened its wisdom, the real demon race is just like your human race, and it also has a bloodline inheritance, we are born with a complete spiritual wisdom, and the cultivation is also the orthodox demon road, which can be compared with ordinary spirits, of course, if this little snake demon can stimulate all the bloodlines one day, it can also be regarded as a member of the demon race. The old man said to Zhao Qing, telling the real demon clan system in detail.
"I see, I haven't heard of it before. "Zhao Qingdao, judging from what the old man said, the demon clan is far from being the usual brutal and bloodthirsty and vicious people think now, and some misunderstandings about the demon clan seem to be some deep-rooted prejudices that have been passed down from generation to generation.
"I took the young master, all the way to your human land to hide, although the 'Heavenly Ice Crystal Flame' has regressed into the spirit level, but some special functions are still slightly reserved, such as covering up the breath, as long as my breath does not leak, they don't want to find where I am. ”
"That senior, if we hadn't come here, you wouldn't have fallen into such a situation, I'm so sorry!" Zhao Qing said guiltily, and bowed deeply to the old man, if it weren't for the fear that Zhao Qing and the others would accidentally intrude on the young master of the Han Clan, the old man would not have been forced to show up and leak his breath to cause this unexpected consequence.
The old man smiled lightly, raised his hand, and said: "You don't have to be like this, this may be the will of heaven, I still have a trace of luck before, this matter has been almost three hundred years, I thought they were about to forget me, I didn't expect them to come to kill me in the fastest time, this may be the will of heaven, in fact, even if they don't come, my injuries that have not healed for three hundred years will not last within these three years." ”
Although the old man said this, Zhao Qing still felt deeply guilty, if they hadn't come to this small valley, all this would not have happened so quickly.
"Then he has rashly intruded into my Terran territory this time, can he not care about those ancient agreements?"
"I forgot to tell you, there is actually no provision for a demon clan in that agreement. The old man said suddenly.
Zhao Qing's mind suddenly sounded the word 'dragon' that the second elder shouted out before he fell, and blurted out without thinking: "Dragon clan?"
The old man was stunned for a moment, looked at Zhao Qing's eyes with a glint in his eyes, and said, "You are right, the dragon clan is not bound by those agreements, and they can walk the boundary of the two clans at will, but I don't know what the reason is. ”
Sure enough, it coincided with what Zhao Qing thought in his heart, the old man in the red shirt had dragon energy in his body, and he was obviously instructed by the dragon clan to come to attack the old man, with the blessing of the dragon clan, he could walk in the territory of the human race without any scruples, but when he thought of this, Zhao Qing suddenly felt a chill in his back, according to this, is it the dragon clan who is behind the three-hundred-year massacre of the cold cockroach clan?
This idea was so shocking that Zhao Qing himself felt incredible, the Dragon Clan was also a member of the Demon Clan, why did he collude with the Huoyun Clan to disintegrate the Jiao Clan internally. If it was really the dragon clan who did it, then did the three-hundred-year-old Jiaohuang discover some secret that made the dragon clan want to kill him.
The old man saw the shock in Zhao Qing's eyes, and said slowly: "Actually, I also doubt that the dragon clan is behind all this, but it's a pity that I can't see the day when the truth is revealed." ”
Zhao Qing lowered his head and was silent, falling into deep thought, a sound of "dong" came, and when he looked up, Zhao Qing's eyes were full of stunned.
I saw that the old man didn't know when, kneeling on the ground, looking at Zhao Qing with a solemn face.
was at a loss for what to do on the spot, Zhao Qing hurriedly got up to help the old man, and hurriedly shouted: "Senior, what are you doing here, no." A half-step demon king knelt down in front of him, and Zhao Qing was almost stunned on the spot.
Who knows, the old man actually pushed away Zhao Qing's outstretched hands, and said sincerely: "No, young man, can you grant me a request." After saying that, he actually knocked headlong to the ground.
Zhao Qing was anxious, put his hands around the old man, and said, "Why do you need to be like this, if you have any requirements, just tell me, if I do my best, I will definitely live up to the trust, please hurry up." ”
The old man didn't get up when he heard this, he still stubbornly knelt on the ground, hugged his fists at Zhao Qing and said: "This change, my life is not long, but I have already put the treasure of my clan into the young master who is being promoted, and since then, the 'Heavenly Ice Crystal Flame' has been completely integrated into the body of the young master, with the growth of the young master's cultivation, maybe one day it can be re-promoted to the emperor-level treasure is not yet known, but I don't know how long this fusion process will take, I just hope that during this period, you can take care of the young master, if you can agree, I can only repay this kindness in the next life!" ”
Zhao Qing's face was stunned, and he felt a tangle in his heart, and said: "Senior, but now I am only a Jindan cultivator, how can I protect the young master of your clan, if there are three long and two short, this can be called what should I do." ”
The old man shook his head and said: "Young man, you have a unique physique that is rare for thousands of years, and at the same time, you can also cultivate a good dual-line true method of water and soil, such a genius He said that once he grows, the future must be unlimited, and you can enter the Haoyun Immortal Sect, there are very few people in this world who dare to provoke your sect, and the young master should be very safe if he takes refuge in you." ”
Zhao Qing complained bitterly in his heart, he was in the Haoyun Immortal Sect, how could he be as beautiful as the old man thought, if the old man said that he was said on the surface, then he would definitely be greatly blessed by the Haoyun Immortal Sect. But now Zhao Qing's identity is just a personal disciple who has just been promoted to Jindan, not to mention revealing his specialness, even if he exposes a trace of it, it will also attract great attention, and may even cause unnecessary trouble.
And these troubles can completely disrupt Zhao Qing's plan, and even overturn it completely, which is not what Zhao Qing wants to see, so after hearing the old man's plea, Zhao Qing refused directly without thinking about it in his heart, but when he saw the old man's rickety body kneeling in front of him, saying that he would not get up, Zhao Qing's heart was shaken.
The old man bowed to the bottom, his forehead was tightly pressed against the white jade floor of the Ice Palace, his thin body looked rickety at the moment, and it seemed that it was difficult to hide the excitement in his heart at the moment, and the trembling never stopped, but the mouth was unusually silent without making a sound.
Zhao Qing's eyes flashed with a hint of reluctance, sighed softly, his gaze turned into perseverance, and said categorically: "I promise this, senior, please get up quickly!"
When the old man heard this, he raised his head suddenly, and his dim and cloudy eyes lit up with a hint of relief, and said with a smile: "Young man, what is your name?"
"Junior, Zhao Qing!"
"Then all the ancestors of my Han Tian Dynasty Han Yan clan, I would like to thank Zhao Engong here!"
"Alas, no, I really don't dare to take the word Engong, if the seniors don't dislike it, you can call me Xiao Zhao. Zhao Qing helped the old man up.
The old man coughed violently, his face became lifeless in an instant, his arms suddenly clasped Zhao Qing tightly, and he hurriedly said to Zhao Qing: "Quick, my time is up, just let me give you your last gift!" As soon as the words fell, the anger in the old man's eyes suddenly disappeared, and his breathing stopped abruptly.
But at the same time, an irresistible torrent surged from the old man's arms, engulfing Zhao Qing's divine consciousness in an instant.
