Ling Ning kept falling in the darkness, the weightlessness and the oppressive environment made him can't help but struggle and roar, but all this was useless, he couldn't feel the true yuan in his body, nor could he feel any sound or temperature, only endless darkness surrounded him.

He felt like he was going crazy, and he began to regret pushing the door open, regretting believing in the palace master. Perhaps the palace master wanted to steal his body from the beginning, and all she did was a careful disguise.

I still remember the first time I saw her, under the moonlight, that small shadow, and cold eyes, in the source space, her eyes were empty, and she was lazy and complacent. When he wanted to punch him, he was full of resentment, like the sternness of the master's patient teaching, and the eagerness he showed every time he came to the rescue......

It's hard to imagine that all of this was carefully planned by her, an illusion to win his trust. Maybe he was still too naïve, thinking that his father's death would make him mature, but he didn't expect him to be so gullible. He knew that the palace master longed for freedom, and he even wanted to help her get free, but he didn't expect that the price would be his own body.

He stopped roaring, he stopped madness, he was quiet. The scenes of the past flashed in his mind, and the most impressive thing was the appearance of the palace master when he looked at the sky in a daze, her eyes were always very empty most of the time, and only when she looked up at the sky would there be a little brilliance......

She was lonely, lonely and heart-wrenching.

"Is this where she's been imprisoned? If so, she's not so hateful......"

Ling Ning seemed to accept his fate, letting his body fall and no longer resisting. He believed that the palace master would keep his promise to save Qian Mei'er and Xia Shiqing, and his body should be regarded as the reward for saving him all along. If it weren't for the palace master, he would have died a long time ago, in a cold ravine at the foot of Jian Ling Sect Mountain.

"Father, in the end, I still failed to avenge you, I am really unfilial......"

His father's face came to mind, and it was his only concern.

"Are you going to give up?"

A woman's gentle voice suddenly sounded in his ears, and when he opened his eyes, he saw a young girl floating in front of him. A very beautiful girl, to be exact. It seems that he is only sixteen or seventeen years old, with red lips slightly open, a smile like a flower, a jade waist, and a charming and cute.

She was wearing a sky blue wide-sleeved flowing fairy full-breasted skirt, embroidered with a blue bird, the gauze skirt fluttered without wind, and the blue bird danced freely as if it was alive. The whole body exudes a faint blue halo, and the eyes also shine with light blue. A long dark gray hair scattered behind him, like a hazy rain of smoke.

Ling Ning was stunned for a moment and asked, "Who are you?" ”

The girl couldn't help but cover her little mouth and said in surprise: "Huh? Have you forgotten me? ...... hosts"

The voice was familiar, and his memory flashed back to the day when the stone sword first metamorphosed into a shattered star. There was a conversation between the two people in his mind, and the woman's voice was not the girl in front of him. And the sound of the master seemed to be exactly the same as the sound made by the sword spirit of the stone sword......

"You're a shattered star! Huh? But...... But I remember you're not like this......"

He also clearly remembered that the woman he saw when he opened his eyes was very similar to Qian Mei'er, and it was that woman who saved his life.

The girl seemed to understand what he was thinking, stretched out her finger and shook it, and said, "I'm not her!" ”

Ling Ning hesitated, "Then are you the sword spirit in the stone sword?" ”

The girl pursed her lips and thought for a moment and said, "It seems that the same can be said, but ...... Not very accurate. ”

"Then you are ......"

"Alright, alright, come with me! You'll soon know who I am! ”

The girl took his hand without saying a word, and in his astonishment, the darkness in front of him suddenly shattered, as if he had fallen into another world.

In front of the palatial palace stood monks dressed in full costume, all of whom had an uneasy expression on their faces. In front of the palace, there is a "royal road", the royal road is nearly 100 meters long and one meter wide, all of them are made of top-grade immortal jade, and a random piece is enough for an ordinary monk to use for a lifetime!

"Your Excellency!"

With a loud shout, the nearly 1,000 monks present fell to their knees in unison, not even daring to raise their heads. A group of men and horses slowly walked in, and one of the leaders stepped on the royal road, only to see him dressed in a white dress, which was embroidered with gold thread and covered with splendid mountains and rivers. It's just a little blood stain on the clothes, covering the splendid mountains and rivers with a layer of slaughter. There was a crystal clear long sword hanging from his waist, the body of the sword was like a red crystal, obviously he had just drunk blood, and the blood stains had not yet dried up.

His appearance was exactly the same as Ling Ning's! It's just a smile looming at the corner of his mouth, and the confidence of swaggering forward, all of which reveal the posture of being a superior.

He was followed by a woman of outstanding grace, dressed in a rose-gold dress, and her appearance resembled that of Qian Mei'er. The woman has a graceful figure, a straight back, and a smile on her face, giving people a sense of compelling beauty.

Five steps behind the two, followed by two teams of black-armored guards, their expressions were solemn, their movements were uniform, and an invisible murderous aura emanated from their bodies.

Neither the woman nor the guards dared to set foot on the royal road.

At this time, three tall old men with white beards walked up quickly, knelt on the ground one after another, and shouted, "I'll wait to welcome you!" ”

The old man at the head took out something wrapped in a yellow cloth from his arms, and when he opened it, it was radiant, and it was actually a jade seal! He raised his head and said loudly: "My people are willing to submit to His Excellency and never betray!" ”

The man known as the Venerable Man stopped, smiled, and drew his long sword from his waist and placed it on the old man's neck lightly. The old man's body shrank unconsciously, but he still couldn't help but dodge, just said tremblingly: "Your ...... What does it mean? ”

The Venerable didn't speak, but just let the blood on the sword soak the old man's collar, until the old man's whole body trembled slightly, and then he spoke: "The Xuanfeng clan has descended and rebelled, and this seat has personally taken its head, causing its body to be shattered. If you want to follow in his footsteps, try it. ”

The old man was so frightened that he kowtowed like pounding garlic, and kept shouting: "Don't dare, don't dare, don't dare!" Our clan is loyal to the Venerable, and will never dare to rebel! Believe in our loyalty! ”

Venerable put away the long sword, personally helped him up, and said: "You don't have to put it on your mouth if you are sincere or not, he will see it one day." Now that your people have surrendered, the seal is still in your custody. ”

"Honorable ...... His Holiness means ......"

"The position of the city lord is still held by you, this city is an important town in the Western Regions, you must not live up to the expectations of this seat."

"Thank you! The subordinates are grateful! ”

The city lord fell to his knees again, and this time it was truly convinced.

There are nearly 100 seats in the main hall, and three stone steps are piled up with white jade. There are five seats on the left and right sides of the first stone steps, three seats on the left and right sides of the upper stone steps, and only one seat on the top floor. Obviously, those who can sit on the jade steps are all figures with heads and faces.

His Holiness sat down on the highest floor, and the rest of the people sat down one after another. The woman who looked like Qianmei'er did not sit down, but stood beside the Venerable. One of the elders tried to invite her to the table, but the woman just smiled and shook her head.

The banquet officially began, and after some glass changes, a group of singers danced. The singers danced around a girl in a pale blue feather coat like a moon. The girl is delicate and lovely, captivating the country and the city, and her dancing skills are even more "fluttering, graceful like a dragon", "the body is fast and bright, and the body is like a god" is exquisite, and everyone present is stunned.

I only heard the girl sing slowly: "The jade hook on the hand-rolled pearl, according to the previous spring hatred lock heavy building." Who is the Lord of the Falling Flowers in the Wind? Thoughts. The blue bird does not pass on the message outside the clouds, and the lilacs are empty and sad in the rain. Looking back at the green waves, the sky flows. ”

The girl's voice is euphemistic and moving, but this poem is a sad spring poem and spring hatred words, and there is a strong sense of resentment, which is extremely inconsistent with this banquet scene.

The city lord also knew that this song was not very suitable, and hurriedly arched his hand and said: "This is the little girl Xifei, this child has been spoiled by me since he was a child, and he chose such a song on his own initiative, it is really the old man's fault......"

Zunshang waved his hand and said with a smile: "It's okay, this song sings very beautifully, I like it very much." ”

The woman standing on the side also chuckled: "The little girl is not small, but is the city lord unhappy with her?" ”

The woman stared at the city lord with burning eyes, as if she had seen through his intentions, and the city lord hurriedly lowered his head and beckoned to the girl: "Fei'er, come and meet your honor." ”

Xi Fei answered, her body fell lightly on the jade steps, and Ying Ying bowed down and said, "Little girl Fei'er, meet your honor." ”

His Excellency raised his hand and said, "Get up." ”

Xifei raised his head and said, "Xie Zun! But his eyes secretly looked at this man with great status.

The city lord coughed lightly and said, "The old man wants Fei'er to follow the honor, I wonder if she has such an honor?" ”

The woman on the side chuckled, as if to say, "I knew you were going to do this!" ”

In the capacity of the Honorable, I don't know how many people offer women like this. She thought that His Excellency would refuse, but she didn't expect him to groan slightly, and said: "Today, your clan is submissive to me, and from now on the spiritual world will be unified, and there will be no more wars, and this seat is really happy." He paused, and then said, "Fei'er is 12 years old?" ”

Before the city lord could speak, Xi Fei preemptively said: "The family is already 14 years old!" ”

Seeing that she took the initiative to speak, the city lord hurriedly reprimanded: "Fei'er, don't be rude!" ”

In his heart, the man in front of him has killed countless evils, and he doesn't know how many famous families and clans have been annihilated at his hands. Although he looks harmless to humans and animals, he is actually a murderer who does not blink! He was afraid that his daughter would say something wrong and cause trouble.

Zunshang didn't care at all, but smiled at Xi Fei: "14 years old, well, yes, it's a big child!" Well...... Aren't you afraid of me? ”

Xifei thought for a while and said, "I'...... I'm afraid of you, too. ”

He said, "Why are you afraid of me? ”

Xi Fei pursed her lips and said, "I'...... I don't know, it's just that my father, uncle, and uncle are all afraid of you, so I should be afraid of you too......"

He laughed and got up to untie the long sword at his waist.

Seeing this, the expressions of everyone present changed greatly, and the city lord hurriedly left the table and said, "Your ...... Your Excellency, the little girl is still young, if you offend your Honor, please forgive your sins! ”

Zun Shang said: "I don't blame her, but I think that this kid may also have time to learn swordsmanship, so I will give her this sword as a meeting gift!" ”

The city lord hurriedly excused himself and said, "This ...... This is the sword of the Venerable Lord's conquest of the Quartet, how can it be easily given to this yellow-haired girl, and please take back your life! ”

His Excellency's actions puzzled everyone present, but only the woman beside him smiled at him, as if she understood his intentions.

His Excellency said: "This seat has just said that the spirit world will be unified today, and I hope there will be no more wars from now on!" I don't want to use this sword again, so I gave it to this child, and I hope you can understand the painstaking work of this sword. ”

The city lord suddenly said: "It turns out that Your Excellency hopes that there will be no more wars in the spirit world, and I will understand!" He turned his head to Xifei and whispered, "Fei'er, don't go and pick up the sword yet." ”

Xifei let out an "oh" as if she had just woken up from a dream, and lowered her head to take the sword, but the long sword was red all over, and the fiery spiritual power made her unable to start. I had to say: "Honor...... Your Excellency, this sword is too powerful, I ...... I ...... so much."

Venerable smiled slightly, stretched out his right hand and touched the sword, and suddenly, the fiery spiritual power disappeared, and the crimson long sword turned as blue as the deep sea.

"Is it okay now?"

Xifei nodded, and reached out to take the long sword.

The two looked at each other, and this Venerable One showed a gentle smile, which made her heart beat faster for a while, and she was so frightened that she hurriedly lowered her head.

The city lord said: "I thank Fei'er for your honor!" ”

Only then did Xi Fei remember that he hadn't thanked him yet, so he hurriedly knelt on the ground and said, "Fei'er, thank you for the sword!" ”

The city lord said again: "Your Excellency, can that little girl follow you......

The Venerable hesitated slightly, remembering the girl's resentful tune, and thinking that he didn't want to go with him. At a glance, he saw the woman next to him squinting her eyes and looking at him with a smile, and couldn't help but smile bitterly: "Fei'er is still too young, let's stay with the city lord......" Seeing the dark expression on Xifei's face, he said again: "Three years later, if you still want to follow me after three years, bring this sword to 'Shangyang Palace' to find me." ”

At this time, Xi Fei finally showed a smile on her face, and when she saw Zun Shang staring at herself, she couldn't help blushing as if she had discovered her "careful thoughts".

……

The picture in front of him gradually dimmed, Ling Ning opened his eyes, and he was back in darkness, and the girl was floating beside him and looking at him with a gentle face. He suddenly realized in his heart, isn't the girl in front of him the dancing girl Xifei in the picture?

"Do you know who I am now?" Xifei looked at him expectantly.

Ling Ning nodded.

"And now you know who you are?"

Ling Ning smiled bitterly and said, "Do you want to say that I am the one in the picture?" Sorry, I'm not at all impressed. ”

"It's normal not to have an impression, after all, it was from your previous life...... This is the scene when we first met...... Well...... I will always remember that day......" Xi Fei showed an innocent smile like a little girl, perhaps this memory occupied a lot of weight in her heart, but Ling Ning couldn't remember it at all, and even felt unfamiliar with the "self" in the picture. The only thing that struck him a little familiar was the woman who always stood behind him in the picture, looking like a beautiful woman. But this may just be an illusion caused by his missing Qianmeier too much.

Seeing that he was sullen, Xifei pursed his lips and said, "What, aren't you a little curious about your previous life?" For example, what kind of person was you in your previous life? How high is the cultivation? How strong is it? ”

"I ......"

Ling Ning was naturally curious in his heart, but he didn't know why he always had an unreal feeling, and he never believed that the man in the picture was him.

"I'm sorry, but I still can't believe that person is me from my previous life...... You all call him Exalted, don't you? He must be a very powerful person, but I ...... I'm just a minor monk in the Nether Realm, and I can't do anything with my humble cultivation, I can't protect my relatives, I can't protect my friends who care about me, and I can't even take my body away...... If I am really something, then where is my power? Why am I so weak? Ling Ning lowered his head deeply, he really felt an indescribable powerlessness over his weakness.

Xifei put away his smile and listened quietly, until he finished speaking, and then said, "The Venerable One I know is indeed a great man...... His cultivation was so powerful that no one in the entire Three Realms dared to call him by his name. But ah......"

"But what?"

"But he doesn't seem to be very happy."

"Why?"

Xifei shook his head, his eyes were a little dazed, and said, "I've been thinking about the day when he handed over the Shattered Star to me...... I read a little tiredness in his eyes. Maybe he was really tired of fighting at that time, and he really wanted to put down his sword and live some peaceful life......"

"Looks like he didn't get his way? This makes me feel much more balanced, after all, my life is not very smooth......"

Xi Fei smiled lightly and said, "No matter how high or low, whether the cultivation is strong or weak, everyone in this world has their own troubles, but the troubles are not the same. ”

Ling Ning sighed and said, "Now I'm not in the mood to care about what happened in the previous life, I'...... Hey......"

"I know you want to get out of here and get your body back, but it's not up to you, it's up to the people outside."

"What does this mean? Can I still get out? Ling Ning's eyes welled up with hope.

"Of course they can, as long as they can ...... successfully"

……

Qian Mei'er slowly opened her eyes, there was a light blue long sword floating in front of her, she knew this sword, it was Ling Ning's sword, Shattered Star.

"I ...... Where am I? ”

She sat up in confusion, surrounded by ruins and the smell of blood in the air. Seeing Xia Shiqing lying beside her safely, she hurriedly stepped forward and gently woke her up.

"Mei'er...... We...... We're ......."

Qian Mei'er helped her up as she pondered, "I remember that something suddenly exploded, and then a monster appeared......"

"Yes...... Did Ling Ning save us......" Xia Shiqing couldn't help but hold its hilt when she saw the broken star floating in front of her, and suddenly a memory rushed into her mind, it was Ling Ning's memory, she suddenly understood everything that happened, and her face couldn't help but change greatly.

"How...... What's wrong? ”

"Mei'er, you...... You can touch the hilt of the sword, too! ”

Seeing her solemn face, Qian Mei'er hurriedly reached out to touch the hilt of the sword, and at the same time, memories also came into her mind.

"Not good! Xiao Ning...... Xiao Ning was taken away! What are we going to do? ”

In the face of Qian Mei'er's inquiry, the blue light of the sword body flashed, as if she was answering.

"You...... You mean you want us to insert you into Xiao Ning's body? ”

The two women looked at each other, not knowing if this could save Ling Ning, but now they seemed to have no choice but to believe.

"Sister Shiqing, is your body okay?"

"It's okay, you're okay, right?"

"Of course! I didn't expect Xiao Ning to be taken away by such a powerful guy......"

"We're going to win!"

"Definitely!"

Although the two girls knew in their hearts that each other's strength was unfathomable, they still rushed towards the direction where the palace master was without hesitation.

Lady Shangyuan wants to save Qian Mei'er but is forced to retreat by the demon god, and she has been wandering around the abyss in search of an opportunity. At this time, he saw a cloud of black flames slashing the demon god, and he was shocked and thought that it was a great power descending, so he hurriedly flew over to find out. The person in front of her was wrapped in black flames and couldn't see his face clearly, but with her fox clan's innate spiritual sensitivity, she actually sensed Ling Ning's breath! Before she could investigate carefully, another person floated in, it was Xuanyuan Heng.

The two glanced at each other keenly, and both realized that the other party's cultivation was profound, and he came here as a "god", not his real body. Their purpose was not for each other, and they quickly turned their gaze to the black flame in front of them.

The palace master in the black flame naturally noticed the two of them, and at this moment she had just had a fierce battle with the demon god, and her strength had lost a lot. In addition, Ling Ning's body was too "fragile" to support her huge spiritual power, and she was about to change her body, so she was naturally very happy to see someone send it to the door. But the cultivation of the two people in front of her is quite high, especially Xuanyuan Heng, who has a strong and righteous aura on his body, and faintly restrains her spiritual power. She should have tested the opponent's strength first, but the regaining her freedom caused the arrogance in her heart to swell rapidly, and she had already been empty-eyed and had no scruples, just waiting for the other party to relax and attack the enemy.

Mrs. Shangyuan secretly sent a message to herself, wanting to ask if the other party was Ling Ning, but the other party had no feedback and couldn't help frowning. Because of Qian Mei'er, she naturally didn't want to expose Ling Ning's true identity in front of "outsiders". Just as he was hesitating, Xuanyuan Heng on the side arched his hand and said, "Dare to ask which Taoist friend killed this demon god?" I, Xuanyuan Clan, Xuanyuan Heng, am very happy to have the privilege of making friends today! ”

Mrs. Shangyuan was slightly surprised in her heart, she didn't expect that the man in front of her was actually the current patriarch of the Xuanyuan clan, she naturally knew the strength of the other party, but considering that the other party was not a real person, her cultivation should not be too much higher than her.

"I ...... It is the god of fire in the upper realm, and the god of Lingguang is transformed into a god! The nether world helps you and others to subdue demons, and you still don't kneel down to worship? ”

Both of them were stunned, unsure of the truth or falsehood.

The four words "Lingguang Shenjun" are now little known, and it has been recorded in the classical books: "Zuo Qinglong, named Meng Zhang." The right white tiger, a famous supervisor. Former Suzaku, Mingling Guang. After Xuanwu, the name is clear. ”

"Lingguang Shenjun" is the honorific title of Suzaku, the god of the south who represents Emperor Yan and the Seven Houses of the South, in ancient times.

At the moment when the two of them were distracted, the palace master made a move!

The pitch-black flames turned into a spear and stabbed at Madam Shangyuan! Almost at the same time, a woman screamed, "Grandma, be careful! ”

Mrs. Shangyuan has a lot of combat experience, but she was really distracted just now, and it was too late to dodge! I could only desperately retreat, watching my chest being pierced by a spear and blood splattering everywhere!

The palace master succeeded in one blow, and he was even more proud in his heart, and his body had already come to Xuanyuan Heng as soon as he moved, and it was another blow!

Xuanyuan Heng was startled, and subconsciously jumped back to dodge, and with a flip of his palm, a golden spear was already in his hand! The spear stabbed sharply, and he fought with the palace master.

"Grandma!"

Qian Mei'er rushed over and caught Mrs. Shangyuan's body that fell backwards, only to see that the blood in her chest was like a spring, and the blood in her mouth kept overflowing, and she was speechless, and she was lifeless in a blink of an eye. Although she knew that this was just a god, Qian Mei'er was still heartbroken, she got up angrily and pointed her sword at the palace master and said angrily: "Demon, I will not spare you today!" Then he joined the warband.

The palace master did not lose the slightest advantage with one enemy and two enemies, but took the initiative. But the battle with the Demon God just now was too much for her, and she was overburdened by Ling Ning's body, she began to feel heavy in her limbs, her heart beat faster, and she had a hard time coping. Although she wanted to take away Mrs. Shangyuan's body, in the face of the strong attack of the two, she had no time to separate for a while, so she could only solve the two first.

She wanted to kill Qian Mei'er quickly, but she didn't know why every time she wanted to kill her, an unspeakable unhappiness surged in her heart, and her body didn't obey her. She knew that this was Ling Ning's consciousness in her subconscious, after all, this was his body, even if it had been occupied by her, but the time was too short to completely wipe out Ling Ning's consciousness. At the moment, she could only concentrate on defeating Xuanyuan Heng first.

Xuanyuan Heng, as the patriarch of the Xuanyuan clan, is naturally also a human spirit. He had already noticed that the other party's attack seemed to be deliberately avoiding Qian Mei'er. Seeing this scene, he had a plan and had the courage to use Qianmeier as a "shield", but he didn't expect it to work! The originally sharp killing move would turn around and avoid it when facing Qian Mei'er, which made him overjoyed, so he simply hid behind Qian Mei'er and attacked desperately, and for a while he actually had the upper hand.

Qian Meier also discovered this, although she hated being used as a shield, but she also knew that there was no way, and she could only cooperate silently.

After a long time, the palace master felt that the tiredness from his body became more and more intense, and even his legs began to tremble slightly. It was a feeling of exhaustion that she had never felt since she was born, and it was both new and boring for her. However, she couldn't quickly resolve the battle for a while, and in desperation, she could only use her best "Divine Ghost Dao" again. It's just that the Divine Ghost Dao has too much burden on the body and mental power, and when she casts it in the form of a "spirit body", she doesn't care if the physical body can bear it, but now that she has succeeded in seizing it, she has a physical body, but there are restrictions.

She couldn't tell what would happen if she used this trick when her body was almost at its limit, but with her confidence now bursting, she wouldn't think about the consequences at all.

"Ghost Path, No. 3, Dementor!"

Xuanyuan Heng's body slammed suddenly, as if time had been pressed the pause button. His mind went blank suddenly, and he didn't even know where to stab the spear in his hand next. It was a technique that could even erase muscle memory, and he could only watch as the flaming claw slashed his throat! Even so, his mind was still empty, without any perception.

At the same time that one claw solved Xuanyuan Heng, the palace master's other hand had already grabbed Qian Mei'er's throat! As long as she pinched lightly, she would die like Xuanyuan Heng, but her hand didn't obey the call, and she couldn't catch it! Instead, Qian Mei'er grabbed her shoulders and shouted, "Shiqing! ”

The palace master had long been aware of the fact that someone was secretly ambushing behind her during the battle, but the other party's cultivation was far inferior to her own, she didn't pay attention to it at all, and was even confident that the other party would not be able to penetrate the flame cloak on her body! In the face of the surprise attack, she wanted to turn around but was held down by Qian Mei'er, but she still disdained to mock: "Mayfly shakes the tree!" ”

The pitch-black flames on her body suddenly burst out, like thousands of spears piercing out at the same time! Qian Meier's body was penetrated in an instant, but she still grabbed her shoulders and refused to let go! At the same time, a light blue long sword burst out of his chest and pierced through the palace master's chest!
