Chapter Seventy-Four: The Immortal Bird?
People are very strange creatures, and when two people have close contact, they can't help but get close to each other and attract each other. Maybe it was because the fire caused by the netherworld power in the jar of wine last night had not yet dissipated, and I pestered Wen Yan until noon, Wen Yan was full of shyness, and said, "Brother Night Rain, it's noon!" It's time for us to get up! Otherwise, Sister Yunchan, they will come knocking on the door! ”
Hearing Wen Yan say this, I remembered that in addition to us, there were Yun Chan and the Five Tigers of the Blood Knife in this camp, I remember that Wen Yan used to wake me up the next day after drinking, and now Wen Yan is by my side, and none of the others have come to knock on the door.
We got dressed and walked out of the room, only to find Yunchan standing at the door waiting for us. Wen Yan was startled and fled with a shy face.
"Sister Yunchan, what's the matter?" I asked.
Yun Chan looked my whole body up and down meaningfully, and I could see that my scalp was numb, what the hell is this girl doing. Don't say that Wen Yan ran away, now I want to run too.
"Brother Night Rain, congratulations! When are you going to have a drink? Yun Chan asked with a smile.
"Don't be in a hurry, when we leave the Mass Grave City, and when the time comes, we will return to the City of Ten Thousand Swords, you can drink as much as you want." I said.
"Okay, then we must drink for ten days and ten nights." Blood Mountain said, I don't know where this kid came from.
"Tell me, what's going on?" I asked, I don't think they could have been in front of my door for no reason, there must be something important waiting for me here.
"Ye Jianming is looking for you, he has been waiting in the hall all morning. We don't dare to disturb you husband and wife, we have no choice but to wait for you here. Yun Chan said.
"Okay, I'll go now." I said.
When I came to the hall, Ye Jianming was pacing back and forth in the hall, it seemed that there should be something urgent. I stepped forward and said, "Brother Ye, I've kept you waiting for a long time, I drank too much last night, and I'm only waking up now, please forgive Brother Ye!" ”
"Brother Yeyu is polite, if it weren't for the real emergency, I wouldn't dare to disturb your dream." Ye Jianming said with a smile.
"Something is wrong?" I said.
"The demons have set up camp at the edge of the swamp." Ye Jianming said.
"So fast? Isn't there still five months left until the opening of the Mass Grave City? Are they in such a hurry to storm the city? I asked.
"No, they just assembled, not attacked the city, there is only one purpose for this, that is, let us surrender on our own initiative, there have been similar situations in the past, the demon clan assembled in advance, and proposed to let the human race hand over a large number of thunder armor, leaving a hundred lives. The reason they do this is to reduce their own casualties and make us kill each other, so that we don't jump off the wall and fight back on the verge of death. Ye Jianming said.
"Absolutely ruthless! So how do we do that? I asked.
"What else can I do! According to the previous practice, the Heavenly Sword Sect counted the list of personnel, leaving a hundred people, and getting rid of all the redundant people! Ye Jianming said calmly.
"Sure enough, the hearts are ruthless, and the human race is actually reduced to killing each other! Aren't they going to fight to the death? Anyway, regardless of victory or defeat, there are always a hundred people who will survive. I said angrily.
"Humph! Desperate to the death? You think too much of the people of the Heavenly Sword Sect, how could they give their lives to others? Before the opening of the Mass Grave City, whether they were victorious or defeated, they had made sufficient preparations, and if they were defeated, they had already prepared a list of who would survive. Ye Jianming said.
"Good two hands ready! So what is the strength of the enemy and us now? I asked anxiously.
"I went to explore the camp of the demon clan in the early hours of this morning, there are about two thousand demon beasts, of which the wind leopard of the wind god family and the three royal clans together account for nearly half, and the rest are small and medium-sized demon beast groups. Now there are one hundred descendants of the Heavenly Sword Sect in the mass burial city, one hundred people from the Five Color Sword Sect, four hundred people from our Fire Sword Sect and the Ice and Snow Sect combined, one hundred people from the Black Water Cliff, and the remaining four hundred people are all disciples of some small and medium-sized sects, and the difference in strength between the two sides is not small. If the disciples of the Five Hundred Heavenly Sword Sect led by Qingchuan were still there, we might still be able to fight with the demon clan, but according to the current situation, Qingchuan and they were afraid that they would have died in the hands of the demon clan, and they couldn't count on it. Ye Jianming said.
"With such a huge disparity in strength between the enemy and us, the Heavenly Sword Sect is afraid that it will wipe us out one by one." I said.
"When I left the Heavenly Sword Sect, the elders of the Heavenly Sword Sect had already given a list, and among the hundred people who survived, the Heavenly Sword Sect accounted for seventy, the Fire Sword Sect and the Ice and Snow Sect each accounted for ten, the Black Water Cliff accounted for five, and the Five-Colored Sword Sect accounted for five." Ye Jianming said.
"Now that the Heavenly Sword Sect has given the list, your three major sects plus the Heavenly Sword Sect are powerful, isn't it easy to solve the small fish and shrimp of our small sects? Could it be that Brother Ye has other ideas? I asked. I guess Ye Jianming came to me in such a hurry, it was impossible for him to just tell me about the current situation, he must have his own calculations in his heart. The people of the Heavenly Sword Sect are really domineering, and they occupy most of the places at once, and the four hundred people of our small sect don't even have a place.
"Brother Yeyu is right, Yingxue and I don't want to disarm and surrender, people are valuable to die, I don't want our Terran children to die silently in the hands of their own people, and if we want to die, we will die on the battlefield of the war with the demon clan!" Ye Jianming said excitedly.
"You want to go to war with the demons? Would the people of the Sword Sect agree that day? When the time comes, after they go out, how will you Fire Sword Sect and the Ice and Snow Sect explain to the Heavenly Sword Sect," I asked.
"Kill them, and you don't have to confess!" Ye Jianming said coldly.
"What? You're going to kill the people of the Heavenly Sword Sect? I asked in surprise, I didn't expect Ye Jianming to have such a crazy idea.
"It's not me, it's you!" Ye Jianming said.
"Me? Brother Ye, you also think too highly of me, how can I kill a hundred masters of the Heavenly Sword Sect alone, aren't you joking? I laughed.
"Brother Night Rain, do you think I'm joking?" Ye Jianming said, taking out ten jade bottles from the storage bag, I can clearly feel that these ten jade bottles contain the essence blood of the divine beast, these essence blood actually comes from the same divine beast, and it is exactly the same as the bottle I bought in the Ten Thousand Sword Pavilion, I looked at the jade bottles one by one in shock.
"Brother Night Rain, you should be familiar with the divine beast essence blood in this jade bottle, this is what you bought in the Ten Thousand Swords Pavilion in the first place." Ye Jianming said with a smile.
Seeing my puzzled expression, Ye Jianming continued: "You don't need to be surprised, because the drop of divine beast essence blood you bought was sold to the Ten Thousand Swords Pavilion by our Flame Sword Sect. When the first sect master of our Flame Sword Sect founded the sect, he found the corpse of a huge divine beast in the underground of the sect, and these essence blood belonged to that divine beast. That place is on fire all year round, and the name of our Flame Sword Sect is also named because of that fire. ”
"Then do you know the name of the Divine Beast?" I asked excitedly.
"I don't know, I just heard from the old ancestor that it is somewhat similar to the legendary immortal bird, but whether it is or not, then I don't know." Ye Jianming said.
"The legendary immortal bird that never dies or dies? How is this possible? I muttered to myself, my heart was full of shock, legend has it that the immortal bird is surrounded by cyan flames, the flames are not extinguished and will never die, the cyan flames burn everything, does this terrifying beast really exist in this netherworld? I do have the ability of the Divine Beast to release flames, but that flame I have always used to defend my body, although the attack power is acceptable, but it is not as powerful as the legend, and it is not even as good as my Divine Beast Claws, which makes me have to suspect that the Divine Beast under the Flame Knife Sect may only be a descendant of the immortal bird, and has some immortal bird abilities, if the corpse is really an immortal bird, then it will not die, but even so, it is already a very powerful divine beast.
"Brother Night Rain, how is it? If you can agree to my request, these ten drops of divine beast essence blood are yours. Ye Jianming said.
"Brother Ye, let me think about it." I said.
"Brother Yeyu, I know you have concerns, in this way, if you can agree to my request, whether you succeed or not, I will take Wen Yan, Yun Chan, and the Five Tigers of the Blood Knife out of the Mass Burial City, so you should be satisfied!" Ye Jianming said solemnly.
"Okay, Brother Ye, I promise you!" Hearing the other party's words, I didn't hesitate for a moment, and promised Ye Jianming, my life and death can be ignored, but Wen Yan's life is more important to me than everything, Ye Jianming firmly grasped my weakness.
When Ye Jianming heard my answer, he smiled with satisfaction and said, "Brother Night Rain is really refreshing, now let's swear by the Lord of the Netherworld!" ”
