Chapter 85: Drawing the Line
"You really decided not to tell Elder Taishang and Yu Zhen about this?"
In a courtyard in Xihuang Mountain, Moon Shadow Xuan and Lin Xiu sat side by side on the stone steps. Everyone was about to leave Xihuang Mountain tomorrow, but Lin Xiu hadn't said anything about his preparation to go to Luoshen Peak so far. Hearing Moon Shadow Xuan's inquiry, Lin Xiu slowly shook his head and said with a wry smile:
"If you say that, you can't go!"
Moon Shadow Xuan fell into silence, she raised her hands lightly, dragged her cheeks, her somewhat confused gaze fell on the night sky, and after a while, she seemed to be talking to herself: "Falling God Peak is already extremely dangerous, but it is a forbidden place in the world. Wouldn't it be even more dangerous now that such a dangerous place is involved with that mysterious force...... That force is so mysterious, and the two leaders who appear at random have the cultivation of the Heavenly Rank Supreme...... Returning to the Star Realm to face the Supreme ......"
Moon Shadow was startled and immediately straightened up...... She took a deep breath and exhaled slowly, her arms wrapped around her bent knees, her eyes drifting from the mist...... She pursed her lips, as if she wanted to speak several times, but for some reason, she didn't say anything.
She knew Lin Xiu, just as the latter knew her too.
Lin Xiu stretched out his arm, hugged her weak shoulders tightly, looked at the sky and said in a deep voice, "Don't worry, it's not so dangerous!"
"Rain-covered realm, Supreme...... Hehe, how can that kind of high-ranking character have nothing to do, waiting to deal with a rookie like me who returns to the Star Realm?"
In their eyes, I'm not even a cow, at most an ant. ”
Moon Shadow Xuan didn't speak, just leaned her head lightly on Lin Xiu's shoulders, and at the same time tightened her hands around his waist
......
......
On the second day, everyone said goodbye to Yin Mo, Mu Xueer and others, and reluctantly left Xihuang Mountain.
Perhaps due to the influence of parting, everyone's mood doesn't seem to be very high, and the little maid Qingluan's eyes are even red.
It was only about ten miles away from Xihuang Mountain, Long Ziming took the lead in saying goodbye to everyone, and everyone also knew that it was very uncomfortable for an arrogant person like him to stay with everyone, so he only symbolically saved two sentences and let him leave.
After Long Ziming left, everyone thought that the next one would be Mo Xun, after all, Roger and the others were going back to Liantian Tower, and Meng Chen and the others were also preparing to return to the Star Moon Hall by the northwest. And the attitude of the Northwest towards Mo Xun ...... It doesn't seem too friendly.
However, Mo Xun looked full of interest, and he had no intention of leaving at all, but Xue Yan followed suit...... Although Moon Shadow Xuan expressed her sincere intention to stay, the other party still insisted on leaving. This makes many people secretly ashamed of those who have always been wary of it.
It's just that Xue Qi's gaze full of meaning before leaving, when Lin Xiu pondered for a long time, a long time
......
......
Long Ziming didn't leave for long after leaving, and he joined the two Sword Masters and Sword Lords...... It turned out that he was separated from Lin Xiu and the others not just because he was uncomfortable, but because someone was waiting for him.
It's just that what I didn't expect was that these two people had been waiting for nearly a month.
After the three of them met, Long Ziming told the Sword Saint in detail what happened in Xihuang Mountain, and he heard that the expressions of the two of them were constantly changing, and their faces were embarrassed.
After sighing, Long Ziming seemed to remember something, frowned and asked, "Have you ever met someone from the Netherworld Grassland this time?"
Daozun Roger nodded and said, "See, this time the Netherworld Prairie is leading the team with the two old monsters of Mountain Ghost and Youluo. ”
Long Ziming raised his eyebrows and said in a deep voice: "Mountain ghost, he hasn't appeared in the rivers and lakes for nearly ten years, right?"
Roger sneered: "Not really, so they obviously came with bad intentions this time." It's just that I didn't expect that I couldn't climb Xihuang Mountain, otherwise...... Hehe, I don't know how many branches will be born. ”
Long Ziming nodded thoughtfully, and Roger continued: "But it's also funny to say, the people of this Netherworld Prairie saw that we didn't leave, and probably thought that there was something cheap to take advantage of, so they didn't even leave, and they spent a month here with us, and they didn't leave until this morning."
"Haha, I guess they will be angry when they learn that we are here to wait for the general to return together."
Roger laughed to himself, but he didn't notice that Long Ziming's face gradually became a little solemn...... Di Shan suddenly asked, "But what's wrong?"
Hearing this, Roger's laughter also stopped abruptly, and he looked at Long Ziming with a strange face, who pondered for a moment, frowned and said: "The news that I and the Star Moon Palace, and even the Heavenly Tower are on the same Xihuang Mountain has already been spreading, and the world knows it...... How could the Netherworld not know?"
Di Shan's brows tightened, and he said in a deep voice: "So you mean that the Netherworld Grassland knew that we were waiting for you?
Long Ziming looked up into the distance, his eyes were deep and distant, he didn't speak, but Roger suddenly exclaimed, "They won't be...... Are you waiting for the Star and Moon Palace?"
Di Shan's expression was also shocked, and he said in a deep voice: "You mean ......?"
Roger said hurriedly: "Everyone knows that this Star Moon Hall and the Netherworld Prairie have a grudge, and this mountain ghost is famous for not following the rules...... They wouldn't want to take advantage of this opportunity to attack His Highness Xingyue, would they?"
Speaking of this, Roger slapped his thigh violently, and said excitedly: "I'll go, I said why these guys have been staying here, it turned out that they were the idea." ”
Seeing Di Shan's slightly stunned expression, Roger continued: "Old Di, don't you understand? Oh, you think, your master has already rushed back to Liantian Tower early with the Misty Spirit Pure and Wind Flame King Mang. Now the people who are traveling with the Star Moon Palace, except for Mo Xun, who is also injured, there is only one Luo Yun and a few guards left. In this case, wasn't it eaten to death by those two old monsters?"
Di Shan's face also sank, and a hint of fierceness flashed in his eyes.
Roger laughed, "But these two old monsters must never have dreamed of it, and their plan that they thought was perfect was seen through by me at once...... Haha, I really want to know what kind of expressions they will have when they suddenly see the three of us when they pretend to be formal clothes, hahaha"
Seeing Roger like this, the corners of Di Shan's mouth also set off a slight arc. Roger said to Long Ziming, "Without further ado, let's hurry up and get on the road!"
However, Long Ziming shook his head slowly...... In the extremely puzzled eyes of the two, he said in a deep voice: "We...... Take a break here for a day and then go. ”
Roger's eyes widened suddenly, and he said with a slight expression: "Take a break, General, that ...... Although our cultivation is good, those two old monsters are not ordinary people. If you take a day off, you may not be able to catch up with those who rescued the Star Moon Hall and our Heavenly Tower."
Before Long Ziming could speak, Di Shan frowned and said in a deep voice: "General, you're not going to make a move?"
Hearing this, Roger's eyes widened, and he said with a shocked expression: "Don't make a move? How can you not make a move, then...... That...... Even if we don't save the Star Moon Palace, then even the Heavenly Tower is our own people, we can't know that our own people are in trouble and not come to the rescue, right?"
A look of struggle flashed in Long Ziming's eyes, but soon that look disappeared without a trace, he took a deep breath, and said to the two people who were staring at him with burning eyes: "Hmph, your own people? If you treat others as your own, you don't know if others treat you as your own." ”
Roger squinted his eyes and asked, "What do you mean?"
Long Ziming looked up at the sky, and after a while, he asked faintly, "Have you ever heard of the Black Armor Iron Horse?"
Roger and Di Shan were slightly stunned, looking at each other as if they were a little confused. Long Ziming let out a long sigh and said: "Everyone knows in the world that the three battalions of Chiyun, Ziyun and Huangyun are the most elite troops in Dayun, and I used to be proud of this...... It wasn't until I heard about the black-armored iron rider that I changed my perception. ”
He glanced at the two of them with slightly sluggish faces, and then said with emotion: "Although I haven't personally experienced the demeanor of the Black Armored Iron Horseman, I have heard about their glorious deeds...... 30,000 ...... It actually made the 100,000-strong army frightened and had no will to fight, and finally won the victory without spending a single soldier and without blood. ”
"This kind of elite division, I'm afraid it's not much better than my Chiyun Battalion, and it's difficult to form every ten or eight years...... But before this time, who of you had ever heard that Liantian Pagoda had such an elite? What do you think is the purpose of Liantian Pagoda secretly training such an elite behind His Majesty's back?"
Roger and Di Shan fell into complete silence, and there was indescribable complexity in their eyes. They understood what Long Ziming meant, but they seemed to be a little reluctant to believe it.
Long Ziming took a deep breath, glanced at the two of them with a strange expression, and muttered, "And you would never have thought that such an elite is now in the hands of ...... In the hands of Lin Xiu of the Star Moon Palace. ”
"What?"
Roger's eyes almost burst out of his eyes in shock, and even Di Shan's mouth slowly opened wide.
Long Ziming shook his head lightly, and said with a self-deprecating expression: "When I first learned the news, my expression was exactly the same as your expression at this time. I don't believe it at all, I don't believe it will be like this...... Ridiculous thing. ”
But later, after hearing Luo Yun's respectful attitude towards Na Lin Xiu and the title of general...... I had to accept that. By the way, even your master, the two old generals of Heavenly Sword and Divine Sword, also call Lin Xiu the same...... Checkmate. ”
Roger and Di Shan gasped at the same time, and the shock in their eyes was beyond words.
Long Ziming was silent for a while, and then said with a firm face:
"Therefore, our top priority is to rush back to Dize City as soon as possible, inform Your Majesty of this matter, and wait for ...... before Your Majesty makes a judgment."
Speaking of this, there was a moment of hesitation in his eyes, but after only a moment, he suddenly gritted his teeth and said, "We must draw a line with the Liantian Tower." ”
When these words fell, Roger and Di Shan suddenly closed their eyes in pain
