Chapter 97: The Confusion of Shadow
The night breeze is quiet, and the shadows of the trees are light.
At the entrance to the dense forest by the wooden bridge connecting the reserve camp and the barracks, several more figures suddenly appeared, looming as hazy as the moonlight......
"Are they all there?"
The voice of the holy master sounded first, plain without the slightest emotion, although the person standing side by side with him was dressed in black and had a black veil on his face, judging from his physical demeanor, he should be a woman...... Come to think of it, there is no doubt that the queen is Wanqingling.
The Holy Master's words fell, and someone immediately whispered: "Chief, except for the fallen Gen Shadow and the Kan, Zhen, and Li who are on a mission outside, the remaining four Holy Shadows are all here. There are also eight Celestial Shadows, who have also hidden in the outer reaches of the jungle according to your orders."
Hearing this, the Holy Master seemed to be stunned suddenly, and after a while, he said suspiciously: "No, Kan, Zhen and the two of them have a heavy responsibility, I know, but the shadow is ...... I didn't send him any special missions!"
The other party was obviously stunned, and hurriedly said: "Chief, there is news from Liying, saying that the leader asked him to go to the Star Moon Hall to do an extremely important ......."
Speaking of this, the other party suddenly fell silent, because he felt that the Holy Master's body exuded an oppressive aura......
The person standing beside the Holy Master spoke in a low voice, and it was really the voice of the Queen: "Holy Master...... What's going on?"
The Holy Master said in a deep voice, "I have never given such an order to Liying!"
The queen was stunned for a moment, and said puzzledly: "What's going on?"
The Holy Master was silent for a moment, shook his head, and said, "It's not clear for the time being...... Let's talk about it when everything is done today", he looked at the few people in front of him, and said in a deep voice: "Remember, no matter what happens, everything is important for the safety of the queen."
Everyone whispered in unison: "Yes"
The Holy Master waved his hand, and the few people in front of him disappeared into the night in an instant, and he immediately said softly: "Let's go in too."
The queen nodded, and walked into the woods
......
......
Long Ziming is in the tent
Lin Xiu stood next to a table in the tent, his fingers tapping lightly on the tabletop, his face contemplative. Long Ziming sat not far from him, with the same puzzled look on his face. After half a ring, Lin Xiu said softly: "Yun Yi didn't hesitate to make up a lie like Yun Liantian's appearance to attract the queen here, what does he want to do?"
Long Ziming frowned and didn't make a sound, he knew that Lin Xiu wasn't asking him, it was just like talking to himself.
Lin Xiu paused for a moment, and then said, "If the evil fluctuations in the dense forest before were really related to his corpse theft, perhaps, he really colluded with that evil force. It's just that what I don't understand is, if the evil force is really a demon race, how did they get here?"
Long Ziming said softly: "Do we want to ...... too?"
Lin Xiu hurriedly shook his head, interrupting Long Ziming's words, he said softly: "No, now we have too little information, and it is easy to cause accidents if we act recklessly, besides, since the queen is going in person, there are indispensable masters around us, if we go, we will probably expose ourselves." ”
"For now, I can only wait for them to return, but I don't know if anything will happen to them in the forest. ”
Long Ziming suddenly frowned, and said in a deep voice: "Probably not, among the guards who escorted the reward before, there were four or five people, and I couldn't find out their cultivation at all...... Such a guard force, coupled with the cultivation of the queen herself...... If there is an accident, then the evil force is not invincible in the world."
"If that's the case, why would the other party bother to let Yun Yi go to them and directly kill and sweep the world?"
Lin Xiu muttered, "I hope I'm too worried......"
Long Ziming's brows furrowed even deeper
......
......
Yun Yi tent
Looking at the star soul who suddenly arrived, a flash of surprise flashed in Yun Yi's eyes, and he frowned slightly and said:
"It's so late, why are you here?"
Xing Soul smiled: "Tonight the breeze is light, the night is pleasant, I suddenly feel elegant, I want to find Ziming to play a few games of chess, but he has already slept first, on the way back by His Royal Highness's tent, look at this bright light, and come to ask His Highness to accompany him"
Yun Yi's eyes were sluggish, and he said softly: "But I'm also ready to sleep."
The star soul smiled and said: "I can't sleep, I can't sleep, I just saw that His Highness was brightly lit here, and subconsciously looked up at the night sky, and found that the crape myrtle star moved tonight, and the brilliance was in the middle...... It is a rare new emperor's candle...... Hehehe, the candle flame in this tent of Your Highness...... But it's never going to be destroyed."
Yun Yi frowned and said, "What do you mean by the new emperor's palm candle?"
The smile on the corner of the Star Soul's mouth became more and more intense, and he said: "Your Highness, you are only eight years old, and you are rich in five cars, are you used to reading obscure and profound sentences, but it is difficult to understand such straightforward words......?
Yun Yi's eyes suddenly flashed with a gleam, but he said in a deep voice: "Senior, please be cautious!"
Star Soul smiled and said, "If you ask me to be cautious, you will allow me to speak, so why don't you take me to set up the chessboard, how about you and I talk about it?"
Seeing that Yun Yi was still a little hesitant, the star soul spoke: "Your Highness has no sleepiness, but there are worries, and you don't want to play against me, so there is something else to do......?"
Hearing this, Yun Yi was slightly shocked, and hurriedly said: "The seniors are too careful, where is there anything important in the middle of the night, please play a chess game, and test whether my chess skills have improved."
Star Soul smiled: "Very good, very good"
......
An hour later, the Star Soul frowned and said, "Your Highness...... Your chess skills...... It seems that instead of advancing, it is retreating."
Yun Yi laughed dryly, and said: "Recently, I have been worried about the matter of Liantian Tower, and I haven't lost chess for a long time, so I'm a little rusty."
The corner of the Star Soul's mouth raised an unfathomable smile, and after a while, he spoke: "Martial arts are in art, chess is in the heart, Your Highness is not unfamiliar, if not absent-minded...... It's a bit of a light enemy."
Yun Yi was shocked, lowered his head, and said quietly: "In the face of you, a national player, how dare I have the intention of underestimating the enemy? It's not that I'm absent-minded, it's just that your chess skills have improved, and under the elimination of each other's strengths, it seems that my chess skills are lagging behind. ”
Star Soul said: "Your Highness is too humble, in fact, the way of chess, the test is nothing more than the overall overall situation and patience, but I look at the trend of His Highness today, somewhat impatient and paranoid...... In this way, I am afraid that it is easy to see the situation and fall into chaos, or it may be a small loss."
Yun Yi took a deep breath and said softly: "The teachings of the seniors, Yun Yi will remember them in my heart! When I go back and taste it carefully, I will ask the seniors to take the test another day, it will be late today......
"Don't worry, don't worry" Star Soul interrupted the other party's words with a smile on his face, and whispered in Yun Yi's slightly stunned gaze: "To understand this kind of thing, the most important thing is to grasp the opportunity." Since His Royal Highness has gained something in his heart, the current experience is that if the time passes, I am afraid that it will be difficult to gain it."
"Come on, come on, let's continue"
Yun Yi frowned, a look of anxiety flashed in his eyes, and he said in a deep voice: "But I'm really a little tired."
The star soul turned a deaf ear to what Yun Yi said, and said while packing up the chess pieces: "It's okay, it's okay, the lack of body is nothing more than tiredness, and tiredness is only due to thinking too much...... Your Highness may wish to meditate and let go of what you are thinking, and perhaps it will be much better."
Yun Yi narrowed his eyes and looked at the other party quietly.
The Star Soul then chattered, "There are some things here, it's useless to think about it. Whether it is good or bad, there is a certainty. Like the green leaves on the tree...... If the trunk is fine, it can be stable and flourishing with the branches, but if the trunk is rotten...... That green leaf is naturally short-lived. ”
"This green leaf, it is the rule of heaven to shade the sun during the day and cool at night, a peck and a drink, there is a fixed number, if it is greedy for the coolness of the day and the autumn wind...... Hehehe, that's no different from setting yourself on fire."
When these words fell, the star soul stopped talking, and Yun Yi also kept his mouth shut, and the audience fell into an eerie silence for a while.
Against the backdrop of this silence, the rustle of leaves caused by the night breeze blowing through the branches became clearer and clearer, but it added a bit of desolation and gloom to this quiet and peaceful night.
After half a ring, the star soul suddenly smiled and said: "Oh, it's me who is too chattering, the Third Highness doesn't need to care, come on, let's continue to play chess"
Yun Yi barely squeezed out a smile, but his eyes were already a little distracted
......
......
In the middle of the jungle
"Holy Master, something is not quite right here, it's too quiet," the black-veiled queen whispered, her eyes full of indescribable solemnity.
The Holy Master's figure was extremely hazy, even if he could not hide his face, but there always seemed to be a layer of strange energy on his face, making his appearance look as blurry as his body, and he said lightly:
"Something is wrong, it means that we are in the right place"
The queen raised her eyebrows and said, "You mean ......"
The Holy Master nodded and said, "I already clearly feel that evil power, it is indeed the same as the aura on Yun Yi's body, but it is stronger and purer......"
"But don't worry, if the powerhouses of the Lingtian Realm have disappeared today, with your cultivation, as long as you are careful, you can deal with most of the situations, not to mention that I am here."
The solemnity in the queen's eyes faded a lot, and she said, "Thanks to the Holy Master's protection."
The Holy Master nodded slightly, but he didn't know if he noticed the worry in the queen's eyes that still hadn't subsided.
Suddenly, an indiscernible sound came into the ears of the two of them, which seemed to be the sound of air currents caused by cloth streaking across the night sky.
The Holy Master snorted coldly, and his figure disappeared in an instant...... The queen's figure followed and faded quickly...... But then, I don't know what happened, and the latter's figure was clear again......
The queen looked at the rapidly disappearing black shadow in the other direction with a shocked expression, and after a moment she exclaimed in a low voice:
"Your Majesty!!"
When the words fell, she barely hesitated and chased after her......
After three or five breaths, the figure of the Holy Master reappeared in place, but when he looked at the empty surroundings, he was shocked, and he exclaimed:
"Oops!"
......
