Chapter 334: The Smell of Gunpowder
"Cheng Xiao?"
When they heard this name, several people were a little stunned.
You must know that they went to the Star Dou Great Forest this time to obtain a soul ring beyond the limit for Shui Bing'er, which was based on the theory written by Ye Renxin and Cheng Xiao.
How could they not know the name?
It's just that......
That "Cheng Xiao" is said to have become the Holy Son of the Martial Spirit Palace, in order to calm a big beast tide two years ago, he chose to sacrifice himself, and was captured by the soul beasts, and there is no news back so far.
Now there are rumors that Cheng Xiao has become the ration of the fierce beast and has long fallen.
And the "Cheng Xiao" in front of him ......
Several people looked at Cheng Xiao for a long time, then looked at each other, and then someone whispered, "It's unlikely, right?" I remember that the portrait of the Holy Son of the Wuhun Hall is quite handsome, and it doesn't look like a remnant of some tribe? ”
"The lines on his face should have been made with the blood of soul beasts for a long time, right? It looks so fierce. Shui Yue'er stuck out her tongue, shrunk behind Shui Bing'er, and muttered.
Although the killing intent of the Shura God has been temporarily sealed by the Silver Dragon King, it still has a deterrent effect on the soul master with low strength.
The moment Shui Yue'er turned around after hitting the water, she was shocked by the faint deterrent and fell to the ground.
That fear has been deeply engraved in Shui Yue'er's heart, and Shui Yue'er doesn't dare to look at Cheng Xiao directly until now.
When the others heard this, they also winced and looked at Cheng Xiao's cheeks, and suddenly, an inexplicable palpitation appeared in everyone's hearts, and they hurriedly turned their eyes away.
Only the dean of Tianshui Academy is not weak, and he can still resist this inexplicable emotion, and after looking at Cheng Xiao for a while, his eyes narrowed slightly. After hesitating for a long time, a trace of doubt appeared on his face, as if he was not sure.
The whispers of several people, Cheng Xiao didn't care too much, and didn't even have the idea of explaining.
He has lived like a savage in the core area for two years, sleeping in the open air, and his image looks very sloppy.
What's more, compared to two years ago, he is now the same as an adult, and his appearance is much more mature, and his skin is a little darker, a little wheat-colored.
If you are familiar with him, you may be able to recognize him if you look closely.
But if he is a stranger, he will never be able to connect him with the white young man of two years ago.
"You're alone? Don't have a partner? After denying Cheng Xiao's "identity", the dean of Tianshui College asked.
Cheng Xiao shook her head, and was about to say no, when suddenly her mind moved, and she changed her words when the words came to her mouth: "I got separated from my partner." Now I was planning to leave the Star Dou Great Forest and meet at the location we had agreed upon. ”
You can't have the heart to harm others, and you can't do without the heart to defend people.
Although through the two titles of "Yue'er" and "Bing'er", Cheng Xiao already had some guesses about the identity of the person in front of him. But what is the character of the other party, Cheng Xiao does not dare to judge arbitrarily.
Now that his strength has been weakened, he doesn't have much ability to protect himself, and if he says that he is only one person, he will not be able to hook up the other party's evil thoughts.
Therefore, Cheng Xiao lied, hoping that the "partner" who had never shown up would have a little deterrent effect.
The dean of Tianshui Academy nodded and proposed, "We are also about to leave the Star Dou Great Forest, so why don't you go with us?" If you are alone in the Star Dou Great Forest, there will be many dangers. ”
"Dean?" Shui Bing'er was a little surprised, obviously not quite understanding why the dean was doing this.
It stands to reason that in a place like the Star Dou Great Forest, murder and robbery are not uncommon, and the dean has explained countless times that he must be careful of strangers and try not to have too much contact with strangers.
But this time, the dean took the lead in violating the principles, which made Shui Bing'er very puzzled.
The dean shook his head at Shui Bing'er vaguely, signaling her not to speak, but Shui Bing'er could only keep her mouth shut.
However, Shui Bing'er plucked up the courage and secretly watched Cheng Xiao's eyes, very curious.
"Then, it's better to be respectful." Cheng Xiao smiled, just as he was looking for someone to find out what had happened outside in the past two years.
After discussing it, Cheng Xiao followed the team of Tianshui Academy and walked towards the outside of the Star Dou Great Forest together.
In order not to scare everyone, Cheng Xiao put on a hood and hid her whole face in the shadows, which made everyone a lot easier.
Along the way, the dean was knocking on the side, Cheng Xiao's origin and Cheng Xiao's strength, but they were all skillfully changed by Cheng Xiao.
Seeing that Cheng Xiao didn't enter, the dean could only reluctantly give up his plan to find out the details, but the doubt in his expression became more and more intense.
Cheng Xiao was not idle, and asked about what had happened outside in the past two years.
In this regard, the dean has nothing to hide, it is all bad street news, and you can ask one or two people at random, so why pretend to be profound?
"The past two years have not been peaceful." The dean sighed, shook his head, and said, "The sect master of the Blue Electric Tyrannosaurus Rex Sect fell in the last beast tide, and the Blue Electric Tyrannosaurus Rex Sect blamed the Martial Spirit Hall for this matter, and it is rumored that the Martial Spirit Hall has secretly set a trap for a long time, just to weaken the upper three sects and the lower four sects. ”
"Under the propaganda of the Blue Electric Tyrannosaurus Rex Sect, except for the Seven Treasure Colored Glass Sect that has not moved, the other four sects have joined forces with the Blue Electric Tyrannosaurus Rex Sect to ask for an explanation from the Martial Spirit Palace......
"Then, for some unknown reason, the Elephant Armor Sect rebelled, the alliance fell apart, and several major sects dispersed. But this matter is not over, from time to time, there are people of the Martial Spirit Hall who are assassinated, and the Blue Electric Tyrannosaurus Rex and other sects have also been attacked by disciples in the sect one after another......"
Under the dean's narration, Cheng Xiao finally had a preliminary understanding of what had happened in the past two years.
According to what Dean Tianshui said, now the Wuhun Hall and several major sects are full of gunpowder, as if they don't know when a big war will start that shocks the entire continent.
And the two empires, because of the war before the beast tide, are now on high alert, and there is often some friction on the border.
Originally, the Wuhun Palace, which was a mediator, was held back by several major sects and did not pay attention to the contradictions between the two empires.
Because of the tense situation in the entire continent, the Advanced Soul Master Competition, which was supposed to be held once every five years, was also postponed for a year.
However, the Wuhun Hall promised that this high-level soul master competition would not be postponed any longer, and the Wuhun Hall would take out three soul bones that were more than 10,000 years old as a champion reward.
This made a group of academies and students feel extremely excited, and they began to practice frantically.
It can be seen from this that the attraction of the 10,000-year-old soul bone.
"Hehe, we're going to win the championship this time." Speaking of this, Shui Yue'er couldn't help but show off, "My sister is the ultimate martial soul, and there is a fourth soul ring that surpasses the limit, this time we won!" That soul bone must be ours! ”
Shui Bing'er's face turned red and scolded: "Yue'er, don't talk nonsense." (End of chapter)
