Chapter 9 Compromise
Half a year later, a scarred Wang Lung lay on the ground, and the enemies it killed had long since dissipated without a trace like the Evil Eye Toad, except for a small teleportation array that had just appeared not far to its left.
Wang Lung opened his worried eyes and looked at the teleportation array, and the corners of his mouth showed a difficult smile before fainting.
At the same time, in the Snow Sky Cave Mansion, except for the two brothers who maintained the operation of the Nine Heavens Phantom Yin Array, everyone else, including Long Xiaotian and his wife, gathered here, and even Wang Jun was invited over.
"I now finally understand what you're talking about. Long Xiaotian looked at Xue Tian and said with a bitter smile.
Xue Tian nodded with a slight smile when he heard this: "Palace Master Wise, my purpose in this level is to increase Xiaolong's experience, and at the same time to hone its edges and corners, as long as Xiaolong can figure out the key, it is not difficult to break through the Nine Heavens Phantom Yin Array." β
Xue Li frowned slightly and asked: "Big brother and little sister naturally know, if Xiaolong's brain can't turn around, wouldn't he lose his life if he goes all the way to the dark, so what." β
Before Xue Tian could speak, the old ghost said: "Li'er doesn't need to worry, the level of the little dragon's refinement has long been limited by the ancestor, even if he can't get out for a while, he will definitely not be in danger of his life, but just suffer a little." β
Xue Li nodded expressionlessly, it seems that the grievances between her and the old ghost have also been resolved, but the long-term grievances are too deep, and she can't give the other party a good face for a while, and after a little silence, she said: "I don't know much about Xiaolong's current situation, you know best, and the arrangements in the Nine Heavens Phantom Yin Array are all from the hands of your elders, according to what the eldest brother said, there are tens of thousands of foreign spirits inside, dare to ask Xiaolong if he can break this formation if he is unstoppable?"
Hearing Xueli's question, the old ghost was also worried, and what the other party said was true. Tens of thousands of spirits are in it, if it is self-deception to say that everything is foolish, and it is really said by Xue Li, then Xiaolong may have to worry about his life, and if he doesn't get it right, it will cause irreparable disasters.
The other elders and the old ghost had the same thoughts in their hearts, but the spirit in the array was released by the Supreme Elder. Whether there is a danger of zΓ i mutation is only known to the person concerned, so everyone's eyes turned to Xue Tian, and Xue Tian just smiled helplessly when he saw this.
"If there is no risk at all, I think Li'er will not believe it, but I have minimized the danger, and if you do it properly, what you say should not happen, and I also believe that Xiaolong will make the right judgment. β
After Xuetian finished speaking, Xueli did not reply immediately. Instead, he took out an object with his backhand, pinched his fingers and threw it into the open space in front of him, and soon a clear light curtain appeared in front of everyone's eyes, and the image that appeared in the light curtain was Wang Long, who had fallen into a coma.
Just when everyone was surprised, Xue Li said lightly: "After all, I am Xiaolong's biological mother, as long as my mother and son are not far away, even if they fall into a desperate formation, this son and mother can clearly see how Xiaolong is doing now." Although I can't communicate with Xiaolong, I can know what Xiaolong is doing now. Presumably the eldest brother can also see it. β
Xue Tian nodded and said: "Yes, although the Nine Heavens Phantom Yin Array was presided over by a brother, I can know the changes in the formation well, Xiaolong's situation is indeed like this now, I don't know what the little sister means?"
"Ever since the dragon entered this place, I have been following the dragon's movements every day. In the past six months, Xiaolong has killed not one thousand but eight hundred, and the strength of those spirits is gradually improving, although it has not exceeded the definition of the ancestor, but Xiaolong is now overstretched to deal with it. Now the coma is the best manifestation of this. Seeing Xue Tian nodded, Xue Li continued: "The eldest brother said earlier that tens of thousands of spirit souls were banished in the Nine Heavens Phantom Yin Array, and it has only been half a year, how can tens of thousands of spirit soul Xiaolong be killed, if I guess correctly, I'm afraid that after a few more levels, with Xiaolong's strength, he doesn't even have the power to resist, and the purpose of the elders may be achieved at that time?"
"This ......" Xue Tian was silent, he knew that what Xue Li said was good, every time Wang Lung passed a level, the strength of the spirit he faced would also increase accordingly, but this improvement was very weak, and it would be difficult to find out if he didn't distinguish it carefully.
"Madam, Elder Taishang. Everyone's eyes turned to Zhong Hui, who suddenly spoke: "Xiaolong's experience has been limited by the ancestor, and the spirit in the array has also been limited, even if the strength gradually increases, there is also a limit, if you want Xiaolong to have gains, you must persevere, maybe this kind of high-intensity experience can make it understand the importance of survival, everyone here is a line of cultivation, you all know that we are going against the sky, fighting with the sky and the earth, fighting with people, which time is not a test of life and death, what is the use of empty cultivation?"
"Alas!" a sigh turned everyone's attention to the old ghost: " In fact, it is not unreasonable for Li'er to worry about Xiaolong, if my guess is correct, at most ten levels, the strength of the spirit that Xiaolong encounters in the future will be fixed, but in the face of such an intense fight in a row, even if we wait, it is difficult to support it, Xiaolong's situation has been seen by everyone, although Xiaolong's health is not bad, and the injury can recover after a period of rest, but the injury cannot be treated in time, and there will definitely be hidden dangers left over time, we will set up this formation for Xiaolong, which is nothing more than to let Xiaolong increase some combat experience and get rid of some bad habits, I am afraid that it will backfire if it continues, not to mention, the palace master and his wife have not been short yet, I think there are other things to do, if Xiaolong continues to delay, I don't know how long the palace master can wait?"
Hearing the old ghost's explanation, everyone suddenly realized that the old ghost's words in front of him were just a step for everyone, and the most important thing was the latter reason, after all, it was impossible for the palace master and his wife to stay here for a long time, if the time passed, Xiaolong had not been able to walk out of the Nine Heavens Phantom Yin Array, wouldn't it make them unable to recognize each other, the mother and son had been separated for decades, and they were separated by a formation, and it was impossible to say anything.
Seeing Xue Li nodded at the old ghost with a slight smile, Xue Tian's heart was relieved, this statement can actually be expressed by himself, but in order to ease the relationship between his brother and sister, it is best for Xue Ren, although Xue Ren and Xue Li had a long talk for a long time some time ago, and it seems that the relationship has eased a lot, but Xue Li's gaze at Xue Ren is still so cold, even if time can dilute it, but when Xiaolong appears in front of everyone, he will see that it is inappropriate, if he asks about it, I am afraid it is not easy to explain, and now Xue Ren has proposed it, but he can put this matter on the tableγ
Moreover, since Wang Lung entered the Nine Heavens Phantom Yin Array, Xue Tian has been paying attention to Wang Lung's situation, and with Wang Lung's current strength, all kinds of experience can be regarded as accumulating. If he continues, he is afraid that he will leave a shadow in Wang Lung's heart, after all, Wang Lung is not a real cultivator, and his attack method is single, so he can't truly appreciate the strength and means that he should have as a cultivator, before the palace master and his wife came. All the elders, including him, ignored a problem, and always thought that if Wang Lung continued to practice without restrictions, they could get a lot of things that they couldn't teach, but now it seemed that it was just their wishful thinking, and they couldn't use the means to deal with cultivators to ask Wang Lung too much, and the Nine Heavens Phantom Yin Array had to make changes, but this change had to be agreed to by the other elders.
The problem is in front of everyone, and as an elder, his mind is naturally not low. Moreover, there are all kinds of reasons in front of everyone, and if they can't see clearly, they will not sit on the position of elder.
The hall fell silent for a while, and after a long time, Arlinn spoke, "I think you all know that there have been more than a thousand high-level cultivators from the miracle space in the recent past, and although they haven't stayed on the earth for a single bit, I think the purpose of the palace master and his wife should be the same as them, that is, I don't know how long the palace master can stay?"
"I can't tell you the purpose of my husband and I leaving the miracle space. At the beginning, the ancestor did not say it explicitly, and my husband and I did not know it very well. Just like the Great Elder said, it is impossible for my husband and I to stay here for a long time, at most there is still half a year, and we must leave. β
After Long Xiaotian finished speaking, everyone nodded silently, and everyone knew it very well. The departure of so many high-level cultivators from the miracle space must have been a plan set by your ancestors, and whether this had anything to do with them or not, before receiving the order, they would never dare to speculate.
Long. Mo Tianlong sighed lightly and said: "In this case, I think it is better to modify the Nine Heavens Phantom Yin Array slightly, after all, Xiaolong's cultivation is not enough, no matter how many battles there are in the future, it is just repetition, and the experience gained is also limited, and after Xiaolong comes out, I will teach him various other techniques, and when he becomes a cultivator, there are a lot of experiences in the door, and I am not in a hurry." β
Hearing Mo Tianlong's suggestion, the other elders all nodded in agreement, and they already knew very well that they were a little unhappy if they didn't change, and Long Xiaotian and his wife just looked at everyone silently after hearing this, and didn't say anything.
Immediately, Xue Tian smiled and nodded: "Since this is the case, then I will close the Nine Heavens Phantom Yin Array after half a year, regardless of whether Xiaolong has exhausted its essence or not, it can be regarded as a success in its refinement." β
"That's good!" The old ghost said with a slight smile: "After all, Xiaolong is still in the refining period, you can't stop just saying stop, but you can't go on indefinitely, there should always be a time limit, and it is enough to let it hold on for half a year, and Elder Taishang is still leaving a back hand in the formation, if Xiaolong understands the meaning, maybe he will break out of the formation in advance." β
"Haha!" A long laugh turned everyone's attention to Mo Tianlong: "I think this mention is good, not to mention that we have other things to do, after Xiaolong comes out, Zhong Hui will teach him alchemy, I will teach him the talisman array, and the rest of the elders also have their own arrangements, I think everyone will not spare that little guy, if there is no problem, so do it, and the Nine Heavens Phantom Yin Array does not need to be modified, as long as the time comes, let a brother withdraw the formation." β
Hearing this, Long Xiaotian and his wife got up at the same time and bowed slightly and said, "I never expected that the dog could win the love of the elders, and my wife thanked you on behalf of the dog." β
All the elders stood up at the same time and didn't even dare to say, after all, in their sect, in addition to the high-ranking ancestors, the palace master is the supreme leader, including Xue Tian, the elders are just auxiliary people, let the palace master and his wife salute them, although they can bear it, but they have to be humble in face.
After everyone finished sitting, Ao Qing, who had never spoken, said: "Actually, the palace master doesn't have to be like this, if Xiaolong is not capable, we will not be so attentive, and in the future, Xiaolong will enter the miracle space and wander again and be useless, it will also ruin our reputation." β
"Elder Ao is serious, although I have been separated from Xiaolong for decades, he is my own son after all, how his temperament can also guess a thing or two, and I will have to trouble the elders in the future, if Xiaolong does something wrong, let the elders deal with it, and my wife and I will never interfere. Xue Li looked at Ao Qing and said with a smile.
The crowd in the hall was pandering again, and soon fell silent, and then dispersed after everyone chatted a few more words.
Not far from the hall outside a side room, the old ghost stood in front of the door with a slight hesitation, the reason why he came here was because of Xueli, after the hall was finished, when everyone dispersed, Xueli's voice came to her ears and asked her to come here to find her two hours later, as for what the so-called matter, Xueli didn't mention it, but the old ghost knew a little in his heart.
After a long time, the old ghost shook his head and smiled bitterly, and walked to the front of the room, before he knocked on the door, the sound of "please come in" came from his ears.
Slowly pushed open the door, and saw Xue Li sitting upright in the room, the old ghost smiled awkwardly and stepped in.
Tasting the fragrance of tea, the two looked at each other speechlessly, the atmosphere was slightly dull, the old ghost was uneasy in his heart, but he didn't dare to take the lead in speaking, after all, the relationship between the two eased a few days, and he was afraid of saying the wrong word and falling into passivity, so he had to drink tea and pretend not to know.
"Second brother!"
A whisper came into the old ghost's ears, making his hand tremble, the tea in the cup almost spilled on the ground, looked sideways slightly, and made sure that the voice just now came from Xue Li's mouth, and a warm current gushed out in his heart, the word second brother has not been heard for decades, and now the old ghost feels a lot of emotion in his heart, but one thing he can confirm is that the mustard of his brother and sister is completely dissolved.
After a long time, the old ghost sighed lightly and said: "It's not that my brother refuses to help, it's just that you and I don't know much about the formation, what the eldest brother has done in the formation, so far I haven't been able to see that today's matter is the limit, and the eldest brother is also helping to speak, so that the period of the second half of the year can be set, if you use some means from it, I am afraid that it will cause dissatisfaction among everyone." β
The little sister knows that it is very difficult to see her child in front of her every day but unable to hold it in her arms. β
"I also know your hardships, I let you separate from Xiaolong ......" Speaking of this, the old ghost looked at Xue Li, and saw that the other party frowned slightly, the old ghost quickly changed his words and said: "Don't mention it, don't mention the past, I already know the big brother's intentions, why don't you ask Xiaotian?"
Xue Li shook her head and said: "Although I am the wife of the palace master, the second brother should know that I have no responsibilities in the palace, and I cannot meddle in the affairs of the palace, and Xiaotian attaches great importance to Xiaolong Lilian, since the elders have already compromised on the second half of the year, even if I ask, Xiaotian will not tell me." β
"Since the little sister knows about this, what is the matter with calling Brother Wei this time, is it your ......?"
Without waiting for the old ghost to finish speaking, Xue Li nodded and said: "Yes, although Xiaotian and I don't know the purpose of this trip, we can guess the approximate situation, but I am a little unwilling, Xiaolong will have to ask the second brother to take care of one or two in the future." β
As soon as the old ghost was enlisted, bad thoughts appeared in his heart, and he quickly looked at Xueli, only to see that the other party had tears hanging down his eyes, and crystal tears slid down his cheeks! (To be continued......)
