Chapter 142: The Key to the Feather
There was no light in the room, only a dim light that filtered through the screen window, so that the interior was not completely dark.
For someone to suddenly appear, although Gao Yun swept it with his enhanced vision after cultivation, because the light was too weak, he couldn't see it really, and only caught a glimpse of a hazy tall figure.
There are still people hiding in the house!
Gao Yun immediately stared at the position of the figure, raised his long sword, and was on full alert.
Suddenly, he felt a hand pressed against his sword.
Lan Shi's voice immediately sounded: "Excuse me, is it the city lord?"
Gao Yun was stunned for a moment, and then remembered that they had fallen into the room of the city lord's residence!
Looking at the middle-aged man in front of him, who was more than seven feet tall and had great visual shock, Gao Yun still felt a little turbulent in his heart.
The four of them sat on two carved chairs on the left and right sides of the hall, while the lord of the castle sat in the center on a specially made wide chair.
It looks like the width of this mount is almost as wide as a square table!
The city lord looked to be in his forties, with a broad face and bright eyes, revealing an extraordinary temperament of perseverance and decisiveness.
He was dressed in a heavy silver-white armor, the surface was as smooth as new, as if it were brand new, and when the lord had brought them into the hall before, he had not seen any inconvenience in his movements, and it was evident that this armor had been with him for many years, and it was almost integrated with his body.
beckoned the servants to make tea for them, he glanced at them, then stood up, clasped his hands into fists and thanked: "Thank you for your great kindness, the grace of your friends in Kaiyang Palace for saving you, Lu Mou keep it in mind, if there is any place to use me in the future, just open your mouth." ”
Gao Yun and the others hurriedly stood up and returned the salute.
The city lord said seriously. Lan Shi smiled, "Do you know who they are?"
What he asked was naturally Ouyang Mofeng's team.
Hearing this, the city lord's face suddenly showed a look of doubt. "They said it was from the Shake Light Palace, but what I didn't understand was that I was just a small border town. As one of the largest cultivation sects, what is the purpose of the Shaking Light Palace coming to me so vigorously to snatch the key stone of the Flying Feather Path?" "Did the city lord hear anything about them?"
Lan Shi still didn't have a clear idea of the true purpose of the group of people from the Shaking Light Palace, hoping to get some clues from him.
But the lord of the city unsurprisingly disappointed him.
After getting the Keystone, they kept the Lord in the room and no one came to look for him since. "Even though they took the keystone, they didn't use it, which is the most unbelievable thing to me. The city lord said. "You haven't gone out, how do you know they haven't used it?" Gao Yun couldn't help but wonder.
The city lord said with a smile: "The path of the Flying Feather Path needs to gather the aura of heaven and earth, which will not only cause the vision of heaven and earth, but also have a huge sound, and the entire city can hear it clearly. “
Hearing this, Gao Yun felt secretly speechless, who made this device, and how could it be so powerful?
Lan Shi took out the round keystone and put his hands in the hands of the city lord. "That's right, City Lord. Gao Yun stared at the keystone, which was less than the size of a palm, and said curiously, "The Flying Feather Path, is this thing used to initiate?" "Yes. The city lord nodded solemnly, looked at the keystone, and said slowly, "Every time this keystone is used, it can only support the opening time of the Flying Feather Road for two hours, and after using it, it will take more than half a day to complete the energy replenishment of the water system aura." “
Gao Yun looked at the round stone that was glowing with a faint blue light, and he felt a sudden familiar feeling in his heart.
How could it be? I don't only have fire, wind and thunder aura and soul power, how can I have a sense of water aura?
Taking advantage of their small talk, Gao Yun secretly sank his mind into his heart, and was immediately surprised to find that there was a faint and almost transparent aura circling around the soul source qi.
From this breath, Gao Yun felt a chill.
Ice aura!
The ice aura originates from the water system and belongs to one of its branches, but where does this ice aura come from?
Gao Yun immediately remembered the seven wisps of ice aura that had been devoured by the soul source qi before.
Could it be that after refining it with the soul source qi, it condensed the aura of the same attributes?
He tried to give orders to the ice aura, but the aura obediently followed his instructions and swam around the black air mass quickly.
At this time, Gao Yun was convinced that there was a new aura power in his body.
This discovery undoubtedly made him happy.
He was not in a hurry to nourish this faint aura that was still like a filament, and hurriedly retreated.
Now there are many people around, and it is inconvenient to cultivate quietly, and Gao Yun doesn't want others to know this secret for the time being.
When his mind withdrew, the others were talking speculatively with the city lord.
"To thank you, if you don't dislike it, please stay here for a few more days, and I will personally take you around the famous scenic spots in this neighborhood. ”
Yu Xueting hurriedly excused herself and said: "The city lord is kind to us, but this time the time is in a hurry, we are actually just passing by, and we will set off early tomorrow morning." ”
"Passing by?" the city lord's hand holding the tea bowl immediately trembled slightly, and he hurriedly asked, "Dare to ask where you plan to go?"
"We came this time to prepare for the Northern Desert. ”
When Yu Xueting explained her intentions, the city lord's originally calm face suddenly turned pale.
"Ladies and gentlemen, I know that your cultivation is profound, but the Northern Desert is very dangerous now, so it's better not to go there if you don't have to!"
Although his tone was calm, when he said the latter sentence, he was categorical and unquestionable. Gao Yun sensed that the city lord was trying his best to suppress the excitement in his heart.
"Why?" Gao Yunqi said.
The city lord glanced at him and said in a heavy tone: "Just half a month ago, I also entered the Northern Desert with a group of people, and in the end, I was the only one who came back alive. ”
As he spoke, a look of pain appeared on his face, apparently recalling some terrible situation, "In just a few days there, I saw that many people were injured, and some were already dead...... Many of them are also cultivators in your Seven Star Palace. ”
Although the city lord also has aura, it was obtained by taking pills through guò, not by opening up the meridians and generating it naturally. In the eyes of outsiders, the people of the Seven Star Palace are no longer ordinary human beings, but almost immortal-like beings. "City Lord, what is there in there?" Gao Yun wondered, "Did you see that?"
The city lord sighed and rolled up his sleeves, revealing a long purple-black scar on his left arm. In the midst of the scars, tiny black lines could be seen slowly spreading outward.
When the four of them saw this scar, their faces suddenly changed drastically, and Yu Xueting covered her mouth and said, "City Lord, you, you are poisoned?"
The city lord looked at the scars and said gloomily, "After I came back, I found many well-known pill medicine masters here, but none of them have ever seen this kind of poison. At first, it was just on the forearm near the wrist, but now it is almost spreading to the shoulder. I've been relying on the medicinal power of a family heirloom Immortal Dragon Blood Pill to delay its onset, but I don't think it will last long. ”
It's poisonous again!
A flash of light suddenly flashed in Gao Yun's mind.
"City Lord, this poisonous ...... How did it happen?"
Frowning, he said slowly: "Actually, I don't know very well, it's only been a few hours after entering the Northern Desert, and my subordinates have been poisoned one after another without warning, and Yan Zòng died on the spot. I then decided to abandon my plan and return the way I came, during which I noticed a small black dot near my wrist, but it quickly spread along my arm, and I quickly took the elixir to suppress the toxic attack. And all the men who went with me ......"
As he spoke, a look of grief appeared on his face.
Hearing his narration, Gao Yun was suddenly a little stunned.
What kind of poison is this, which can make people get hit without realizing it?
The city lord had an open-minded personality, and immediately smiled and chatted with them about other topics, and the solemn atmosphere eased slightly.
After that, the city lord tactfully persuaded them to give up the idea of going to the Northern Desert, but seeing that they were all very persistent, they had to shake their heads and give up.
Before they knew it, it was late at night, and the city lord arranged four rooms for them.
After a while, Gao Yun had finished washing up and lay on the bed in his room, he put his hands behind his head, remembering the matter that the city lord had just mentioned about the Northern Desert, and thinking that because of that task, many disciples of Kaiyang Palace had gone to the Northern Desert, and his mood suddenly became heavy.
Let's hope they're all safe.
Although he knew that this was an extravagant hope, Gao Yun still prayed.
Just as he was thinking about it, a familiar red figure suddenly appeared in front of him.
Gao Yun's eyes widened immediately, and he sat up suddenly.
"Master!" I1387
