Chapter 33: Dust and Snow

The blood butterflies flew wildly, blood-colored lotus flowers suddenly grew on the jade tiles of the altar, and white and distorted faces emerged from the stretched petals, grinning at the two of them.

In fact, the Great Commander didn't dare to get too close to these dead spirits who had been buried for seven hundred years, he used the insect control technique to control the blood butterflies to fall one by one in the center of the altar, and then ordered them to attach to the red lotus stamen with the power of the blood curse, just a little bit of strength, the two of them clearly heard the whistling wind in their ears, followed by a creepy fishy sweet smell, the chaotic wind mixed with cheers and wild laughter, and a pair of dark eyes flickered like fireflies at the bottom of the dark altar.

"Stop!" Xiao Yibai scolded in a low voice, and rushed to approach the Great Commander, just a second before the spiritual power condensed by his fingertips turned into something that could attack the other party, the air between the two suddenly condensed, and an invisible force suppressed it, making him suffocate his chest and lungs, and he couldn't help but take a step back.

The art of spatial enchantment? This person's spatial technique was so superb that he could quietly create a form at the last moment, and even directly blocked his attack!

The Grand Commander only glanced at Xiao Yibai indifferently with his residual light, and now his right hand did not dare to relax at all, his own blood turned into countless thin blood threads from his fingertips to pull the blood butterfly, and after the Red Lotus Altar was completely opened, there was indeed a wonderful wind that rose from the ground and blew through the hem of the two of them.

He stared intently into the distance, and although his vision was blank, he could clearly sense that the blood butterfly must have something magical entangled.

The butterfly's wings were stirred by the wind, and he took a deep breath and tried to lift his hand up, only to hear a soft "click" sound, and the wind blew even more coldly.

Carnival laughter erupted from the bottom of the seven-hundred-year-old dark altar, and the heart of the Great Commander was also stirred up with ripples.

He once served as the Great Priest of the White Sect, naturally he is no stranger to this Red Lotus Altar located in the deepest part of the main altar, Jialuo is a place with a barren land and a harsh climate, especially the dangerous Weeping Snow Plateau is devouring all kinds of lives every day, for the cultivators of forbidden arts, this is the source of continuous strength, at the beginning, the sect leader and the Great Priest will order people to bring these victims back to the Thousand Machines Palace on the grounds of excess, and later, the infinite expansion of power makes people's hearts more and more gloomy, and they are no longer satisfied with the victims of natural disasters, Instead, he took the initiative to let more people who could have survived die here.

The original body of the Red Lotus Altar is a ten thousand burial pits, they call these victims "martyrs", and dig a large pit at random to bury the corpses, until one day, the sect leader of the year was horrified to find that the necromancers who were raised by the blood curse and bone curse were about to exceed the limit of control.

But when these weak-hearted people had done these things with trepidation, they found that the dead spirits in the graves were still staring at them, as if they would come galloping like thousands of horses at the slightest negligence.

In the end, they finally remembered one thing - Feng Ji left three things after the founding of the sect, the first is the name "White Sect", the second is the "Lotus Throne" used to select the sect leader in the main hall of the Thousand Machines Palace, and the third is a legendary holy sword "Wind God" from the Heavenly Realm, because she herself does not interfere in all matters in the sect, and for some reason she is extremely disgusted with the Heavenly Realm, so that the sword has been quietly stored in the secret room, and no one has touched it for many years.

With their last hope in their hearts, they took out the "wind god" and placed it in the center of the lotus altar, and a miracle really happened, when the warm and warm wind blew for the first time in the cold snowfield, and the dead regained their calm in the wind, and fell asleep in the red lotus flowers.

If they had stopped at that time, there would not have been the Red Lotus Altar that makes people shudder now, but the thirst for power expands endlessly like a cancer, coupled with the powerful suppressive power of the Wind God, even if they slaughter innocent people a hundred times and thousands of times to cultivate forbidden arts, those unjustly dead souls will be firmly trapped under the altar for eternity and will never be able to turn over.

After finally solving their worries, everyone secretly breathed a sigh of relief, and even began to intensify.

Hundreds of years have passed, Feng Ji, who has given the wind god this power of suppression against the sky, has never expressed a position on this, no one knows whether she is really being deceived from the sky and the sea without knowing, or just pretending not to know, since then the successive generations of rulers have driven the necromancer to use it for their own use, in the name of protecting the White Sect, to satisfy their own selfish desires.

He should be glad that his extremely rare bloodline made the Southern Lotus Sect Master reluctant to kill the killer back then, otherwise he should be one of the countless nameless white bones under the altar today.

Thirty years ago, he wanted to destroy the Red Lotus Altar and let this holy place in the name of super-baptism be slaughtered by the sins committed by their own people, but it was a pity that at that time, he was in the beginning of forbidding the arts, and he was eager to get out and could not delay, so he could only give up in the end.

The Great Commander laughed silently, as the invisible wind god was lifted up little by little, his chest seemed to be being cut by a sharp blade, the necromancers in the depths of the altar began to roll and jump in a pool of blood, countless unfamiliar faces flashed and disappeared, and at the lower level, a white bone also shook excitedly, like a strange forest clicked up, and the blood butterfly was affected by it, dancing and flying wildly in the air, crashing into the red lotus, and scorching with a thud.

The blood mist filled the field of vision, even if he controlled the blood butterfly to pull out the wind god, his body was still disturbed by this fierce force, no wonder even Cen Ge, who had been instructed by the king of Garan, did not dare to act rashly, and in the years he had been in charge, he had spent a lot of time in the main altar to set up embankments to prevent the necromantic from escaping.

At the moment when he was slightly distracted, he suddenly caught a glimpse of the man in white a few steps away turning his steps and rushing towards the altar, before he could see clearly what the other party wanted to do, Xiao Yi Bai Zhensleeve repelled the blood butterflies that surrounded him, he lightly nodded from the petals, jumped directly to the center of the stamen, and suddenly all the dead spirits stared greedily in his direction, and the blood light of the butterfly wings in the white clothes reflected the light and shadow, as unreal as a celestial man.

As soon as the Great Commander retracted his consciousness, it was too late to stop it - Xiao Yibai grasped the long sword that was entwined by the wind and could not see the form, and let the absolute divine power from the Heavenly Realm tear the skin of his arm out of the terrifying scar in an instant, and his blood trickled out, dripping into the red lotus stamen, stimulating the necromancers below to roar almost madly.

Xiao Yibai's eyes were black and almost fell headlong, his eyes uncontrollably turned into a terrifying ice blue again at this moment, and the blood of the fierce beast mixed with the power of the wind god spread out, making the blood butterflies in the sky dance around him excitedly.

But the Grand Commander didn't dare to act rashly anymore, what's going on, what's going on with this guy? Was he crazy, he actually jumped directly to the center of the lotus altar, and even held the wind god with his bare hands?

In the next second, Xiao Yibai, who had recovered from a short period of vertigo, immediately swung a sword at the depths of the altar, the power of the wind god seemed to be kind, but in fact, it could be directly shattered into ashes at the moment when it swept past the body of the necromancer, as Feng Ji said, the ancient race was a special race that devoured the gods and replaced them, and his soul may really hide the blood of the "gods", so that the legendary holy sword "Wind God" from the heavenly realm can be easily in his hands.

The Grand Commander looked at the blood spell thread that had been cut by the wind blade, and the doubts in his heart kept popping up, what is the origin of this guy? It's not that he hasn't tried to touch this sword, he can't even get close to it, let alone hold it directly in his hand like this, slashing the soul with a sword and a sword!

After a while, the bottom of the altar that was still boiling just now gradually calmed down, Sen Ran's white bones were also weathered into ashes, blood butterflies fell one by one, and the red lotus altar also showed signs of slowly withering.

A lotus-shaped altar made of red jade...... Withering?

The Great Commander was shocked, only his eyes quickly regained his composure under reason, and his years of combat experience made him not hesitate to cut off all the spells in his hand, and quietly stayed away from this place while Xiao Yibai was lacking in skills.

Outside the Red Lotus Altar is the Houshan Cemetery, and the corpses summoned by him have been killed by Cen Ge, scattered in the dirt, dead and silent, and the dead spirits killed in the altar are like a falling snow being blown by the wind at this moment, making the originally black ground covered with snow white in a blink of an eye.

The Grand Commander stopped inexplicably at this moment, looking down at the head that rolled down at his feet, a little dazed, the Southern Lotus Sect Master opened his eyes, as if he had been alive with a cold gaze that made his back chill for a while.

He could no longer control his emotions and stomped on the head, and with all his strength he stepped the fragments of bones a little deeper, deeper into the soil, and finally his whole body unconsciously trembled violently and took a few steps back, and let out a sad laugh - what a ridiculous picture, when seven hundred years of hatred were shattered by a sword, and the dust of the dead was so white as snow sprinkled on the wreckage of the cemetery, quiet, sacred, as if the bloody slaughter was just a vain dream.

Dream...... If his life could be a dream......

Suddenly, a white bone stabbed like lightning from some direction, the commander's eyes froze, and he had no time to dodge but could only raise his hand and grasp it directly, Xie Lanyan's whole body was drenched, and even the water on the tips of his hair had formed ice crystals in the severe cold.

"It's you." The Grand Commander sneered and crushed the white bones, his mood was greatly disturbed, and he noticed several fatal wounds on the other party's body, which should have been left after being bitten by the out-of-control necromancer, and the broken bones could be seen deeper at a glance, but there was no blood flowing out of such a terrible wound, he was slightly surprised, and quickly reacted, "The water of the Snow Lake is drawn from the source of the glacier, you are using Feng Ji's spiritual power to forcibly stagnate the deterioration of the injury, hehe, why bother?" The pain doesn't go away because of the spell, it just makes your death more painful. ”

"I've got to pull someone on the road." Xie Lanyan's tone was surprisingly calm, and he even smiled, "The Great Commander is coming from afar, it's better not to leave, anyway, if you fail the mission, you will be punished when you go back, so it's better to accompany me...... Until the end. ”

The Great Commander was also secretly observing the battle situation ahead through the spider eyes in his arms, the White Tiger Legion had already killed the empty mile in front of the Divine Farmland, and the vanguard troops embarked on a journey of death under Luo Qi's order, and the second prince of Tianzheng Mansion, who arrived in a hurry, had no time to stop it, so he could only break in again in danger.

"It's stupid......" The Grand Commander shook his head and smiled, "In the end, he is too young to have any experience in facing the enemy, with his skills, he should have gone directly to the Thousand Machines Palace to kill Cen Ge just now, and the remaining disciples who have lost their minds by the insect control technique will be defeated sooner or later, but he just wants to save people, this time it's troublesome, after the necromancers in the altar are eliminated, those wandering in the main altar will soon be killed, and when Cen Ge can free up his hands to deal with him, it will not be easy for him to win." ”

"Didn't he lose as you wished?" Xie Lanyan sneered coldly, and only after a pause did he rearrange his words, "No, that's Governor Gao's wish, and you, your wish is to step on the White Sect." ”

"Huh." The Grand Commander stretched out his hand and made a boo gesture to her, and inexplicably glanced up at the clear blue sky, the sky light scattered through the thin clouds, emitting a faint light according to the dust of the necromancer, "It's a pity that I can't get my wish after all, and I can't avenge those unjust souls who died unjustly." ”

"There are also a lot of unjust souls under the Grand Commander's subordinates who have died unjustly, right? Don't pretend to think of yourself as a saint. Xie Lanyan has always been an unforgiving woman, she adjusted her breathing for the last time, and looked at the man in front of her desperately, but said word by word in a firm tone that she had never had before, "Everyone is not a good person, how good it is to have a companion on Huangquan Road." ”

"It's a pity that with your strength, it's not enough to walk with me." The Grand Commander casually kicked up a white bone with his toes and held it in his hand, his speed, strength and even spiritual power were far superior to Xie Lanyan, but every blow was provocative and deliberately deviated from the vital point, until the opponent could no longer support it and fell, and then stepped forward to support her and put her in front of a tombstone, Xie Lanyan's blood-stained eyes suddenly condensed, and he bit his lip and looked at the name of his former colleague on the tombstone next to him - Wu Yu.

The curse sounded clearly again - "May I never turn a blind eye after my death, and see when the Sect Master will repent!" Look at when the White Sect will die! ”

"Didn't Miss Xie want to know the whereabouts of King Garan?" The Grand Commander chuckled and spoke murderously about the thorn in her heart, "In fact, the Shadows haven't found any clues about King Garan, and I'm lying to you." ”

Xie Lanyan was stunned at first, but this time she smiled indifferently.

"But I can tell you something else." As if dissatisfied with her performance, the Grand Commander added to himself, "That year, after King Jialan and his wife went to the imperial capital Danzhen Palace for medical treatment and were refused, it was the eldest princess Mingyu who happened to pass by to make an exception to let Danzhen Palace be treated, and in the next two months, King Jialan entered the eldest princess's mansion late at night many times, and he would not leave until dawn, hehe...... A who are still waiting to be married, Her Royal Highness, and a married husband whose wife is seriously ill, guess what they have done? ”

Xie Lanyan opened her mouth, not knowing whether it was the physical trauma or the mental stimulation that made her gag for a while.

The Grand Commander looked at her meaningfully and continued unhurriedly: "After that, the eldest princess stole the royal treasure for him." Shen Yue', King Jialan got the ancient jade and immediately changed his face, he left the eldest princess who committed the crime of killing his head for him and went back to save his wife in ecstasy, but Yun Qiushui, who knew the truth, left because of her husband's betrayal, and returned to Kunlun Mountain alone and pregnant, but before leaving, she selfishly took away the piece of jade, because she knew that without this piece of jade, her child would die, so she buried the eldest princess's last retreat with her own hands, and the couple joined forces to send the princess to the guillotine. ”

The Grand Commander shook his head and sighed, his eyes were confused: "But the eldest princess is the emperor's sister after all, she was pardoned and exiled after ten years of captivity, and there has been no news since then, and King Jialan, who parted ways with his wife, also disappeared like evaporation from the world, only Yun Qiushui lived alone in Kunlun Mountain and never came back." ”

"Hehe......" I don't know why, at the last moment of her life, Xie Lanyan just laughed with relief.

"I thought that only women would sell their bodies for love, it turns out that men can also do the same, and the results are immediate, killing people, hehe, because I love her, I betrayed her, and in the end, I lost her." The Grand Commander was still muttering to himself, looking at Xie Lanyan, whose breath was slowly stopping, and asked regardless of it, "What kind of thing do you say love is?" I have never been loved by anyone in my life, and I have never loved anyone, and I have no understanding of this feeling at all, except that they are all ridiculously stupid and unworthy of sympathy. ”

Xie Lanyan looked into his eyes, but said something that surprised him: "If the Great Commander doesn't walk with me today, he won't have anyone to walk with you in the future...... Really, don't think about it anymore? ”

No one answered her question, and he leaned over to probe the other's mouth and nose after a long moment of distraction, and sighed regretfully: "It's dead...... It's a pity, it's been a long time since I've met someone like Miss Xie who can talk. ”
