Chapter 40: Unintentional Killing (Seeking Collection)
Early the next morning, the two figures climbed one after the other towards the only Beihai Snow Mountain on the land of the Xia Kingdom.
Compared with the two, the latter thought that he was a day earlier, but he didn't know that the former was an hour ahead of him, and this person was Xia Yun'er.
When Xia Yun'er set off, the sky was still gray, and it was not until he came to the foot of the snow mountain that the sky was bright, but today was a foggy day, and the snow mountain was even more foggy, even if it was not an exaggeration to say that he couldn't see his five fingers.
But this is not a matter for her, because according to her perception, she is free to move in this fog, on the contrary, she also hopes that today's foggy climate will make it easier to conceal her whereabouts.
At this moment, there were three or four figures closely following her behind and on both sides of her. The figures, all dressed in white, followed their target with great vigilance, for a single negligence in the fog could easily lead them.
Naturally, with Xia Yun'er's perception, how could she not know that she had been followed a long time ago, but she didn't perceive the dangerous aura from these people, so she simply stayed silent for the time being, pretending not to know and continue to go up the mountain.
But when she finally came halfway up the mountain, she suddenly felt that the slightest crisis was approaching her, and the white-clothed people who had been following her did not notice it at all, and still followed her as usual.
"You guys, don't follow me anymore......"
Several people were still following closely, and suddenly they saw Xia Yun'er turn around and actually open their mouths to expose them, and they suddenly became nervous.
One person seemed to be afraid of something, and hurriedly said: "Don't misunderstand, the ninth princess, we were ordered by the third prince to secretly protect the princess!"
Several people around him also hurriedly echoed.
Xia Yun'er vaguely felt that these people seemed to be secretly protecting her, but she didn't expect that it was actually the person from Xia Huo, thinking that she didn't have a good impression of that Xia Huo, but she immediately didn't appreciate it, and said coldly: "Third Prince? ”
As he spoke, the fog around him gradually faded and disappeared, and in the blink of an eye, all the areas where several people were distributed in this radius dispersed, revealing a pure space.
Originally, they really came to protect each other, but when these people saw this strange situation, their faces turned pale one by one, and they didn't dare to look directly at the person they protected.
Just by speaking, he was able to dissipate the mist, what kind of power is this?
In fact, Xia Yun'er's heart is not calm at this moment, with her previous strength, it is possible to confuse people's hearts just by speaking, but since the completion of the double cultivation blood contract with Xia Jiang, she began to find that any of her abilities have a strange and inexplicable effect, making everything around her turn into power to bless her, indescribably powerful!
Now, she was just using the magic sound to immediately dissuade these people, but she didn't expect to absorb the fog of the entire surrounding area and turn it into a part of the power of the magic sound.
Speaking of which, this was also one of the reasons why she wanted to be here with Xia Jiang again, she wanted to know more about Xia Jiang and her cultivation partner, so that it would be more helpful for her cultivation.
Xia Yun'er secretly thought that when she came back to her senses after being a little distracted, several people in white had already turned around and left, and they would no longer continue to be secret guards.
But it didn't take long for me to hear a few miserable screams not far away, very similar to the people just now.
After double cultivation, Xia Yun'er's perception is now much stronger than before, and this moment is as clear as seeing those people being killed.
"What's going on?" Feeling that the person protecting her was actually killed in an instant, Xia Yun'er secretly tightened up, and had to be highly vigilant immediately. Although this time she only secretly passed on a message to Xia Jiang, it was not certain that she would not be tracked down by those killers and come to kill her again.
But then, the answer was revealed, all of them were black masks, and her intuition made her immediately know that none of these people were from the sound country.
"But who is it?......" Xia Yun'er couldn't help but wonder, she was puzzled for a while, and she couldn't think of anyone who wanted to be unfavorable to her besides the people from the sound country.
"Kill!"
The voice that barely gave Xia Yun much thought, with the screams of the few people in white who had just left, several figures quickly tracked down their target, and several figures were as fast as lightning, and they surrounded Xia Yun'er in the blink of an eye!
"Who are you, dare to assassinate the princess!" was surrounded by several people in an instant, but Xia Yun'er was not flustered at all, only her tone was full of majesty, and she asked lightly.
"We ...... We are ......" The four of them began to try to answer Xia Yun'er's question almost at the same time, but as soon as the words were about to be spoken, they gritted their teeth one by one, staring at each other with their eyes on the ground, as if they were shocked that their companions almost told the truth and leaked the news.
"Why don't you say it, don't you tell the truth?!" Xia Yun'er drank lightly again, and suddenly, the fog with a radius of almost 100 meters was instantly absorbed by this sound wave, which greatly enhanced the magic sound, and the surrounding area also turned into an empty and clear iceberg environment.
However, what Xia Yun'er didn't expect was that several people didn't know what was going on, and when they were about to speak, they all held back at the most critical moment, and even several people began to cover their mouths and noses while staring, and even frantically tore their hair, trying to restrain themselves from telling the truth.
"What a strong willpower!" Xia Yun'er couldn't help but change color when she saw this scene.
You must know that the strength of these people who plan to kill her is only in the middle and middle stages of the monk, and the bloodline compatibility is only twenty or thirty, so theoretically they must not be able to resist her magic voice.
......
Since the completion of the double cultivation with Xia Yun'er, Xia Jiang has found that there is an invisible connection between him and Xia Yun'er, as long as he meditates carefully, he can vaguely perceive Xia Yun'er's direction, and he can almost track it for thousands of miles.
He didn't plan to come so early today, but he vaguely felt that Xia Yun'er seemed to be moving in the direction of the snow mountain, and he had to advance again to catch up with the other party's pace.
At this moment, after a long gallop of white horses and chasing on the snowy mountain, I finally felt that I was close to each other, and I was able to meet each other for a long time before the top of the mountain. Because of this, he was still a little nervous about what to do next, but suddenly he noticed the other party's abnormality, and couldn't help but speed up again.
After chasing with all his strength for a while, Xia Jiang finally caught up, and a familiar figure gradually appeared in his sight, but at the same time, he saw that there were four black-clothed people surrounding Xia Yun'er.
"Ninth Brother ......" Xia Yun'er had long been aware of Xia Jiang's approach, and she shifted her gaze from several black-clothed people to Xia Jiang who came over.
"How to get back to ......" stepped forward a few more quickly, the Demon Devouring Sword in his hand was already out of his body, and as soon as Xia Jiang spoke, he was shocked by the scene in front of him.
At this moment, the four men in black were extremely terrifying, all kneeling on the ground, grabbing their heads with both hands, and ...... It seems that it is obvious that these seven people have all died of anger.
"Are you okay?" Seeing that several people were dead, Xia Jiang was no longer nervous, but when he saw that Xia Yun'er, who was intact, his face turned pale, and he couldn't help but hurriedly ask.
Xia Yun'er was indeed frightened, she originally just wanted to use her voice to control these people to leave, she didn't want their lives at all, but she didn't expect these people to not only die, but also die so miserably.
After a while, it wasn't until her eyes slowly moved, the two of them looked at each other, and the corner of her eyes completely left the tragic state of the man in black, that Xia Yun'er steadied down and said softly, "I'm fine." ”
From Xia Yun'er's eyes, Xia Jiang suddenly saw a trace of something, it seemed that some people who had died as tragically as these people in black, as well as the deep fear that had been, which made him feel a big shock in his heart, and he vaguely understood why Xia Yun'er was so frightened.
Feeling the fear and helplessness in the endless depths of Xia Yun'er's eyes, Xia Jiang seemed to have become Xia Yun'er himself, returning to some terrible memory in the past, and falling into it.
It was Xia Yun'er who came back to her senses first, and her tone quickly softened, and she said softly with a hint of dissatisfaction: "Brother Jiu, even if it is your partner's privacy, you can't snoop on it casually!"
Xia Jiang, who was still resentful because of the hatred, heard Xia Yun'er's small complaint, so he retracted his gaze a little embarrassed, and slowly released his fists that had been tightened at some point.
Not wanting the atmosphere to be too embarrassing, Xia Jiang smiled apologetically, and then sternly glanced at the corpses of the black-clothed people around him and said, "Let's go up first, right?"
Xia Yun'er didn't seem to want to look at the corpse of the man in black anymore, nodded, then turned around and silently went up the mountain with Xia Jiang.
The two climbed silently, and the top of the mountain, which was not far away, soon came.
When you come to the top of the mountain, you suddenly have the sky above your head, the endless and vast vision, and the incomparably cold breath, which makes people feel as if they have come to another world, the spirit is ethereal, and the soul is trembling.
Compared to the last time, Xia Jiang found that he seemed to be here for the first time, and the feeling was completely different from the last time. However, he soon knew that it was a double cultivation between him and his fellow cultivators, and now his senses had completely changed, and under the powerful senses, the top of this snow-capped mountain had become so mysterious and shocking.
"No wonder, you like to come here......" Xia Jiang couldn't help but say his heart.
"Really, do you think this place is good?" Xia Yun'er smiled slightly, glanced at Xia Jiang, and then looked at the endless sky, her eyes as if she was seeing something in the depths of the sea of clouds.
But as soon as the words came out, Xia Yun'er immediately understood, knowing that it was her ability to change the other party's senses, so she wanted to add but suddenly remembered something, and continued: "By the way, Brother Jiu, I can ...... Look at your sword?" she said, sweeping towards the sword in Xia Jiang's hand.
Looking at the sword in Xia Jiang's hand, Xia Yun'er couldn't help but think of it again in his mind, the sword in the hands of the four black-clothed men just now seemed to be exactly the same as Xia Jiang's sword, but even if he didn't rely on intuition, he knew for sure that the sword in Xia Jiang's hand was absolutely rare in this world!
