Chapter 17: Separation

"Okay, I'll go over right away."

Ling Su responded towards the courtyard gate, turned his head and looked into the room, just in time to meet Ling Xiang's gaze.

"Nannan, I'm going to see the elders, don't run around at home."

"I've heard that!"

Ling Xiang, who was covering his nose with a towel, replied in a muffled voice and waved his hand gently at his brother.

The young man's figure quickly disappeared outside the door, and Ling Xiang didn't care about it at first.

In her opinion, her brother, like he usually went out hunting and studied cultivation with the elders of the Feather God Dynasty, would not be long before he returned.

Until she was entertaining herself in the courtyard with the bronze grimace mask she brought from Baishan Village-

Boom!

The courtyard door was pushed open from the outside.

A middle-aged man walked in, the steward who often came to bring food and herbs to the siblings.

"Uncle?" Ling Xiang was taken aback, "Are you here to find your brother?" He went out. ”

"I know he's out, and he's going a long way away, but that's none to do with me, I'm here for you." The tone of the middle-aged steward was as indifferent as ever.

"Find ...... You say my brother is going somewhere else? Ling Xiang subconsciously wanted to ask the other party what he was looking for, but he suddenly reacted and captured an important message in the steward's words.

Brother is going to a far place?

How did she not know?

Ling Xiang was stunned, and his little face was full of nervousness: "That...... Uncle, you ...... Do you know where he went, brother? Miscellaneous...... When will you be back? ”

The middle-aged steward who was looking around in the courtyard couldn't help but sneer: "Little girl, do you still care about your brother?" Think more about yourself. ”

"Me?" Ling Xiang, who was flustered, didn't understand what the other party meant.

"Well, grab your things and come with me. If you go out now, you might even be able to send one to your brother. The middle-aged man glanced at her, his eyes looking a little pity.

That kind of look made Ling Xiang, who had been good at observing words and emotions since he was a child and was very sensitive to the emotional changes of others, couldn't help but be shocked.

A terrible thought crossed her mind.

Ling Xiang didn't know how he followed the middle-aged steward out of the small courtyard.

The more she walked in the direction of the exit of the small world, the more uneasy she felt in her heart.

Holding the small baggage and bronze mask that he had packed haphazardly, Ling Xiang followed behind the steward without saying a word.

Until they came out of the gate of the ancient temple at the entrance of the small world.

It's dark!

Ling Xiang raised his little face and saw a forest of flags above his head.

Tens of thousands of black-armored armies were displayed in the sky, densely packed and obscuring the sky.

Savage ancient beasts, ancient warships......

Including every soldier in black armor, all of them were silent.

This is an army of monks!

Everyone's qi and blood were very strong, and there was a terrifying murderous aura surging in the entire heavenly dome.

The four fields were silent.

It's like a dead land, so depressing that people can't breathe.

Just in the direction of the ancient temple, about two miles away, a newly cast yellow mud platform rises from the ground.

From a distance, it seems that some figures are busy on the high platform.

And around the high platform, the dragon, the white tiger, the god calf, the unicorn, the green phoenix, the xuanwu ...... Nine ancient beasts as huge as mountains hibernated quietly.

Each brute had a gray-haired old man sitting cross-legged.

It's like nine guardian gods, guarding the high platform.

Or rather, it was guarding the special altar on the high platform.

"Click!"

After a while, a blood-colored lightning bolt pierced the sky, and in an instant, the surroundings became much brighter.

Ling Xiang, who was staring blankly at the shocking scene in front of him, was shocked by the thunder, and his face trembled.

Before the light of the lightning dissipated, a familiar voice sounded in front of the left: "Nan! ”

It's my brother!

Ling Xiang instantly tilted his head and looked in the direction where the voice came from.

She found Ling Su!

"Brother!" Ling Xiang called out and ran over without hesitation.

At this time, Ling Su was standing with a group of young boys and girls.

In addition to being surrounded by black-armored heavy soldiers, there are also several familiar faces of Ling Xiang - Six Emperor Uncles Yao Xiaotian, Luo Wenbin, Chu Jiaming, and Qiao Chengyao.

There were also a few old men standing with them.

Ling Su's shout attracted the attention of everyone around, and one of the old men frowned, "Who is that little girl?" ”

"Uncle Qi is the younger sister of that young man, but the root bones are very poor, and it is not the physique we need. It's just that the brother and sister are orphans and depend on each other for their lives, so they were brought over from the Eastern Wilderness together. Yao Xiaotian replied.

"Since it's not what we need, let's get rid of her as soon as possible!" The Seventh Uncle Ancestor's tone was very indifferent.

"Don't!"

Ling Su was anxious when he heard this, and hurriedly begged: "Seventh Elder, please, let me say a few words to my sister, I won't delay the business." ”

"Then as soon as possible!"

The old man kept his face calm and waved his hand to get the black-armored soldiers out of the way, allowing Ling Xiang to walk in front of Ling Su.

She threw herself into her brother's arms and hugged her tightly, bursting into tears: "Brother, where are you going?" Don't leave me behind, okay? ”

"Don't cry, don't cry...... My brother thought he wouldn't see you before he left. ”

Ling Su's heart was sour, but she didn't know how to comfort her.

I can only wipe the tears on her face one by one.

"My brother is going to a far away place to practice, it was an order personally issued by the emperor above, and it happened very suddenly, and I couldn't help it, so I ......" As he spoke, Ling Su also became choked.

"However, I can't bear to ...... my brother"

Ling Xiang cried loudly, grabbed Ling Su with both hands, and refused to let go.

"Brother will come back, you wait for me, when I become strong in the future, I will definitely come back!" Ling Su took a deep breath, suppressed the discomfort in his heart, and tried to make his tone gentle.

"I don't want it, I don't want it!" Ling Xiang hugged it hard, and for the first time, he played a little temperament.

"Little girl, you can come to Zhongzhou with you and live with your brother for a few more months, because he promised us that from now on he will obey us and never betray the God Dynasty, do you want your brother to break his promise?"

Chu Jiaming, a disciple of the Feather God Dynasty who had been to Baishan Village, interjected, his voice was very indifferent, faintly revealing a bit of threat.

As soon as these words came out, Ling Xiang immediately froze.

Immediately, although she continued to cry, she slowly let go of Ling Su.

In fact, when she came out of the small world in the ancient temple, she had a premonition in her heart.

During the time she came to Zhongzhou, she learned a lot of things related to cultivation with Ling Su. My understanding of the world is also much deeper than before.

And the more you know, the more you know the power of the Feather God Dynasty.

I just wanted to be naΓ―ve and make one last struggle.

"It's okay, my brother entrusted the steward to give him all the elixir and money he saved before, he will take care of you for me, you live here well, wait for me to come back." Ling Su said.

"Brother, woo...... Then you must not lie to me, you must come back. Ling Xiang lowered his head and kept wiping away tears.

"Definitely." Ling Su nodded vigorously.

"Brother, you bring this." Ling Xiang stuffed the bronze grimace mask into his brother's arms, sobbing and said, "So when you go to a distant place, you can think of me when you see it, don't forget me." ”

The grimace mask was a gift from Ling Su to Ling Xiang, and the gift could not be taken back, but this time he did not refuse.

"Okay, then let's swap." Ling Su took off the ring of his left finger and put it into Ling Xiang's hand.

Woo!!

The majestic trumpet sounded.

The brother and sister didn't have time to say anything more, so they were forcibly separated by the people next to them.

"Brother......" Ling Xiang cried, but was caught by the middle-aged steward before and didn't let her come forward.
