Chapter 163. Scourge of the Li Kingdom (2)
"What harmony?"
The astonishment of Ji Linxing and the others was too obvious, and Wen Jinfang felt a sense of foreboding in his heart, and asked in a deep voice.
"A kind of group formation diagram, she just gave it to Hua Guo a few days ago." Facing Wen Jinfang, Ji Linxing didn't mean to hide it, and spoke quickly, "I heard that the head of the Yan family said that she paid a great price to create this formation."
Hearing the "great price", Wen Jin's face changed slightly, and Li Yuzhi and Wen Hanchi's eyes widened in shock.
"So you suspect that she has been in retreat all year round in the illusion just to study this formation?"
"The time is right." The smile between Ji Linxing's eyebrows and eyes completely dispersed, a little serious,
"If this is really the key point of her research, then maybe we are here, because in the dark, someone wants us to see these past events."
Thinking of the harmony, Yan Ling was obviously a little panicked: "Your Excellency, ......"
Jiang Xiaoyue patted her on the shoulder and motioned for her to calm down.
"My perception of the power of the earth is getting weaker and weaker." Jiang Xiaoyue looked up at Ji Linxing, "If I stay any longer, I really can't find a way out again, once I fall in, I will really lose the opportunity completely."
Ji Linxing is the "leader" of this team, but at this moment, he has always been decisive, and he is a little hesitant:
"There's a good chance we're close to the core, and maybe we're drawn into this illusion precisely because it's a memory of her."
"Maybe—no, there must be some point! What we see may have a role to play in the future."
Ji Linxing was a little excited in his words, but as he spoke, his tone was involuntarily hesitant.
Time has passed for thousands of years, even if you see all the things in this era, what can it do?
Other people also know this, so they can only be silent in the face of such words.
Ji Linxing has always been reckless, but his decision at the moment affected all the companions present, and for a while, he couldn't make up his mind.
After a while, when the illusion began to fluctuate again, and the familiar feeling of oppression overturned, Yan Ling suddenly said, "I want to stay."
Everyone was startled and turned to look at her.
The little girl who is always giggling on weekdays has a resolute look on her face.
She looked straight at Jiang Xiaoyue and said softly, "Sister Xiaoyue, you can take everyone away now."
"No!" Ji Linxing frowned, "What's the matter with leaving your little girl here!"
Yan Ling did not speak, but in his eyes he was resolute in his mind.
"Yan Ling, why do you have to stay?" Li Yuzhi asked in a low voice.
Yan Ling's gaze circled around everyone, and finally landed on Wen Jinfang, who was also looking at her, as if he also wanted to know an answer.
At this moment, Yan Ling no longer concealed it: "Before, the Venerable Lord stopped me from going on, but in fact, this Yan Shuyu senior, only a few years after abandoning the official to accept the inheritance, just-"
Yan Ling's eyes turned red, his voice paused, and he continued to speak with some difficulty: "He passed away."
Everyone was shocked!
"What? But hasn't she resigned now?" Ji Linxing was incredulous.
Yan Ling's face was full of unbearability and sadness: "I don't know, but when I look at this senior, I ...... when I think of her ending recorded in the family tree."
By this point, her eyes were already wet.
It was the person who they said that the family tree did not hesitate to crown with the highest respect, but died early in her prime youth.
How could she just let it go and turn around and leave?
And—
"I don't understand...... In the past, I didn't think about the reasons for this, but occasionally I wondered why people like my predecessors died silently. But now I've seen it all the way—" Yan Ling's expression was dark,
"It's such a coincidence at this point in time......
The crowd bowed their heads in silence.
Yan Ling looked at their appearance, and suddenly smiled bitterly, "Did you also guess it?"
With the ember shadow here, there will never be an accident to the Yan family.
However, if Yan Shuyu, the heir of the Yan family, really died suddenly at this moment, then it is enough to show that something must have happened to Ember Shadow.
So much so that she couldn't even save her family.
And if this is really the eighth year of Ember Shadow research and harmony, then the tragic price that Yan Jing said is likely to be the fuse for Yan Shuyu's death.
Even outsiders, like them, after seeing Yan Shuyu's stunning and calm appearance, it is difficult to let go that she will have such a tragic ending.
Not to mention the spirit of speech.
She has the same blood as Yan Shuyu, and even learned what the latter left behind at some times.
Perhaps it was precisely because he knew Yan Shuyu's ending that there was no way to leave.
Besides, this matter is also closely related to the joy of words.
The others probably guessed what she was thinking, so they didn't say anything for a while.
Time was really running out, and seeing that the illusion was still repeating some meaningless memories, Jiang Xiaoyue took a deep breath.
was about to speak and persuade him, but he saw Wen Jinfang, who was originally contemplating, and suddenly raised his head: "Don't worry about me, I also want to stay and see." Fun Cabinet
「……」
The corners of Jiang Xiaoyue's mouth twitched for a moment.
How...... She's so much of a villain?
However, even so, she had to bite the bullet.
"Doctor Wen, if something happens to you, Miss Yan won't let us go." Jiang Xiaoyue sighed, "It's really not good, when the game is over, let's try our luck again, right?"
As she spoke, she pulled Yan Ling, who was already ready to move forward, "Let's go back and get ready first, and then come back is good!"
Yan Ling turned around and was about to say something, but saw that the illusion suddenly rolled like an overturned river and sea.
Yan Ling was stunned, and immediately gave birth to more than a dozen sturdy and thick tree vines, which quickly stretched towards everyone-
Instantly pulled the companions who were twisted by the illusion, and then wrapped up to the death.
The fluctuating force was too great, and Yan Ling used all his strength to barely protect himself from being torn to shreds by the torture that almost dismembered his body.
Ji Linxing stabilized his body in the air with the help of rattan, and he waved his hand to summon a wind of wind, instantly catching back the people who were gradually drifting away.
"What's the situation?" Yan Ling was able to catch his breath for a while, and couldn't help coughing urgently.
The crowd didn't have time to speak, so they could barely breathe smoothly in the whirlpool.
After a while, the fluctuations stopped, and the wind whirlpool carried them back to the surface.
"I can't feel the power of the earth at all." Jiang Xiaoyue put her hand on the ground, and then shook her head helplessly.
Everyone's expressions were stunned.
Subconsciously released a spiritual sense, but found nothing.
If you don't remember the memories along the way, you can't even tell whether it's an illusion or a reality.
"Sister Yotsuki...... I'm sorry." I don't know what to say.
"Yan Ling, it's not your fault." Jiang Xiaoyue patted her head, and then smiled, "Actually, I really want to stay and have a look."
"yes, so do I." Li Yuzhi came out from behind her, followed by a shy Wen Hanchi.
"It's hard to leave or not to go, but now it's better that you don't have to choose." Li Yu Zhi approached Yan Ling and laughed softly.
Time flies.
The rumors did no real harm to the embers who had been living in seclusion.
There is an extra "housekeeper" in the National Teacher's Mansion who is both wise and brave, and it is difficult for any young person to surpass half a step.
People are always good at forgetting things that are too far away from them.
All kinds of suspicions and suspicions are words, and they begin to subside slowly over time.
And the time for the Li royal family to visit the National Teacher's Mansion is getting less and less.
At first, they wanted to use public opinion to restrain Ember, and kept knocking on the side, trying to persuade Ember to abandon this plan that might "deplete her vitality".
But Yan Shuyu is not a fool, on the contrary, she is extremely smart, many times people from Li Kingdom can't even see the shadow of the embers, and in a few words, Yan Shuyu beat Tai Chi back.
She doesn't conflict with the Li royal family, but the latter can't bear it.
Neighboring countries are starting to stir again.
This divided world is like this, unless it is unified, there will be no peace in the struggle.
The royal family of the Li Kingdom is increasingly dissatisfied with Ember Shadow's "willful action".
They didn't understand why the real enemy was right in front of them, but Ember Shadow was bent on the unwarranted "demons".
The Emperor of Li spent more and more time gathering advisers, and the expansion of the monks' army also increased.
But in this regard, neither Ember Shadow nor the Yan family has stopped it.
At the end of the twelfth winter of the year when Ember Shadow came to the Li Kingdom, it snowed heavily.
In the cold season, Ember Shadow's preparation for more than ten years has finally reached the last moment.
When the formation diagram is born, it needs to be recorded by the Heavenly Dao, so that it can attract the power of heaven and earth and turn it into one's own use.
However, what she did this time was a bit shocking, and even Ember was a little nervous.
She stood all night on the top of a barren mountain not far from the National Teacher's Mansion.
No one knows what she was thinking that night.
Only the next day, she carried out the plan as usual.
Harmony is a formation that is very contrary to the way of heaven.
I actually want to give a mortal body a chance to use the power of heaven and earth.
Such wishful thinking is tantamount to a provocation for Heavenly Dao.
However, in its final steps, Ember took the wrath of heaven and earth on its behalf.
Three Heavenly Punishments.
Before, I just heard Yan Jing relay, and everyone didn't feel that it was so thrilling, but when they witnessed this scene with their own eyes-
The pain that made Ember Shadow on the verge of collapse several times seemed to follow those purple gold thunders that pierced the heavens and the earth, through thousands of years, and pulled on their backs one by one.
I was chilling all over my body.
Ember bit her lip, but through the cold lightning and the snow, her muffled snort reached their ears clearly.
Yan Ling knelt beside Ember Shadow, passing through the phantom over and over again and unable to do anything, watching Ember Shadow's breath quickly fade, she had already cried into tears.
The venerable voice was hoarse, but in the end, he could only witness it with his own eyes, and the ember shadow fell silently from mid-air—
Ji Linxing and the others all subconsciously flew forward, but in the end, it was Yan Shuyu who was guarding the side early to catch the ember shadow.
Ember Shadow's eyes were closed, and he couldn't see a piece of good meat in his body, and he was as black as charcoal
Blood condensed layer after layer of blood between her charred skin, and her aura was like that of an old man who was about to die.
And the originally flamboyant and domineering Yin Wind and Thunder, only sporadic thunder and fire remained, jumping twice unconsciously around her, looking small and pitiful.
There was silence.
And the Li *** team quietly surrounded them.
