Chapter 39: The Sanctuary
Qianliu opened her eyes in a slight trance, and there was a very clear whistling wind in her ears, and she immediately judged that the place where she was should be very high.
She judged correctly, this was the peak of a lonely peak, and there was a vast white air everywhere around.
Qianliu frowned slightly, shook her head, which was still a little dizzy, and after gradually waking up after a while, she fell into a stupor because of the scene in front of her......
A high platform
A solitary altar-like platform.
This is all the scenery on the entire lonely peak except for the clouds and mist.
"This ...... Is this the Sanctuary?" Qianliu muttered, disbelief written all over her face
......
Chiyanagi was no stranger to the name Sanctuary, as her master had mentioned this mysterious place countless times.
However, even if he has the blood of a true phoenix and is in the position of protecting the Dharma, he has been in the rain-covered realm for many years, and he has never known where the holy realm is all these years.
It is rumored that the true body of the "Lord" is in the holy realm, and the shadow in the smooth stone wall that Xue Ruoli sees on weekdays is just a projection of the other party's divine thoughts after descending across this vast heaven and earth.
But what is God's mind?
Even if it is as strong as snow, it is simply incomprehensible.
As for that kind of projection...... It's even more like a fantasy.
However, it is precisely because of these that it proves that the "Lord" is powerful and terrifying. The sudden appearance of such a mysterious and terrifying powerhouse who wants to see him by name is a very disturbing signal in itself.
But there are some things that I really don't have a choice...... Or the only option is to face it head-on.
Qianliu originally hoped to face it alone, but unexpectedly, Xue Ruoli was asked to accompany her to the Holy Domain...... I don't know, is this an alternative "dipping"......
Qianliu only remembered that before leaving, the earth demon gave each of their masters and apprentices a pill, and then they fell into a coma, and when they woke up again, it was the scene in front of them
......
However, this lonely altar-like high platform, this lone peak with a radius of less than a hundred zhang, is really the legendary holy area?
When Qianliu was stunned, Xue Ruoli came to her side, but the sluggishness in the other party's eyes was not much weaker than her.
Suddenly, the voice of the earth demon sounded with some urgency: "Don't bow down to the Lord yet"
Xue Ruoli and Qianliu glanced at each other, then knelt to the ground, and said in unison: "Xue Ruoli/Qianliu, see the Lord!"
After the words of the two fell, they immediately felt that there seemed to be an indescribable change in the air around them, and a mysterious feeling came to their hearts.
There was a sudden burst of soft light from the high platform, which made the surrounding gray rocks, which had looked extremely ordinary a moment ago, suddenly take on a jade-like crystal color.
A powerful aura as vast as the sea suddenly rose from the altar, and the breath was ancient, vicissitudes, as if it had experienced the baptism of endless years.
Xue Ruoli and Qianliu's delicate bodies prostrate on the ground suddenly trembled slightly.
Uncontrolled trembling at all!!!
It's an instinctive reaction of the body, it's a fear that comes from the soul, it's like ...... Absolute suppression of ranks.
Qianliu's eyes were full of horror, she once thought that she had enough prediction and mental preparation for the strength of the "Lord", but it was only at this moment that she realized that she was wrong, and wrong...... Exceptionally outrageous!
This power has completely subverted her cognition, and even she faintly gave birth to an inexplicable thought...... This is simply not a force that human beings can control.
Suddenly, Qianliu's delicate body with her head down suddenly shook...... A pair of beautiful eyes are round. She felt a hand fall on her head, but she didn't notice the feet that should have been in sight in front of her.
An unusually soft, but emotionless voice sounded in her ears: "What pure royal blood"
At that moment, Qianliu had a strong urge to raise her head in her heart, but she suppressed that impulse to the death, and even her face became a little hideous.
The soft voice sounded again, this time, in a reassuring tone: "Relax, child, I have no ill will towards you!"
It was such a simple sentence that made Qianliu, who was tense a moment ago and extremely nervous in her heart, suddenly calm down, and she was even able to raise her head calmly, but then her eyes were filled with horror again!
It's empty in front of you!
No one can be seen at all!
The reason why she said that she couldn't see it and didn't say that she didn't have it was because she could still clearly feel the palm that was still resting on her head.
What's going on?
A ridiculous but terrifying feeling suddenly appeared in Qianliu's heart!
"Hey~"
A soft sigh suddenly sounded in Qianliu's ears, and there was loneliness and depression in her voice that could not be concealed...... Immediately after, a self-deprecating voice sounded:
"Can't even the owner of such a pure royal bloodline see me?"
Hearing this, a trace of doubt suddenly rose in Qianliu's heart...... Immediately she felt the pressure of the hand on top of her head lighten and seemed to ...... The other party is about to withdraw that palm.
But at the moment when she felt that the palm had almost completely left the top of her head, a soft "huh" suddenly sounded...... Immediately, the hand fell again.
"I broke the seal...... This force ...... It shouldn't be......"
When these words fell, Qianliu felt that the palm of her hand was finally leaving her, but this feeling of not knowing where the other party was really weird.
"How did the bloodline in your body awaken?"
Hearing this, Qianliu's eyes froze, frowned slightly, and groaned slightly, but still said truthfully: "Back to the Lord, I don't know, I was fatally injured at the beginning, and I thought I was going to die, but I didn't expect that not only was I not dead, but after waking up, I activated the blood in my body. ”
The soft voice did not sound, and seemed to fall silent.
After a long time, the voice said again: "Your master wants you to kill Lin Xiu at all costs, why did you refuse?"
Hearing this, Xue Ruoli's delicate body, which was kneeling beside Qianliu, trembled suddenly. At the beginning, the earth demon told her that there was nothing in the world that could be hidden from the "Lord", although she did not object at the time, but in her heart she did not think so, but now it seems that this person's supernatural powers are far greater than she expected.
Even the task she secretly gave to Qianliu knew so clearly, could the other party be able to pinch and calculate, and he had reached the level of immortals?
For the first time, Xue Ruoli felt that her heart was filled with an indescribable horror, as if an invisible imprint had completely fallen into the depths of her soul, immortal...... Indestructible!
Hearing this question, Qianliu took a deep breath, a touch of complexity flashed in her eyes, but the tension on her face slowly subsided, and after a while, she slowly raised her head and said softly: "I didn't refuse, but because Wei Jinglong has always been by my side, I have never had a chance to start......"
"Hehehe......" A gentle laugh sounded, sounding as warm as the sun melting the ice and snow in early spring, but Qianliu felt a chill in her heart.
"Kid, you're still too young! your own flawless lie is so lame that I can't help but want to laugh."
The voice had already appeared in the distance unconsciously, and then said: "If it weren't for Wei Jinglong's lack of time to take care of anything else, how could he let you be mortally injured?
As a killer, once you don't want to kill, there is only one reason, there is love in your heart...... Kid, you're in love with that Lin Xiu, aren't you?"
Hearing this, Xue Ruoli, who was kneeling on the ground, suddenly opened her eyes, her eyes were full of incredulity that was extremely strong, she turned her head to look at Qianliu with some difficulty, and after a while, her face suddenly appeared.
The look on Qianliu's face already said it all.
It turned out that this thing was true, and it turned out that the three words "Lord" just said that she was too young were also said to her...... Because of this kind of extremely lame lie in the eyes of the other party, after Chiyanagi told her at the beginning, she immediately believed it.
Xue Ruoli's face was full of complexity, but in an instant, that complexity was replaced by a somewhat resolute and determined color.
Chiyanagi also lowered her head, so that people could not see the look on her face and did not know what she was thinking.
The voice of the "Lord" sounded again: "Very good!"
These three words made Xue Ruoli and Qianliu's eyes full of doubts, they thought that the other party would be angry because of this.
"Lord" goes on to say:
"Children, everyone has the right to pursue love, love makes people strong, love makes the world beautiful, love makes time eternal in another way...... There is nothing wrong with you giving up for love, sacrificing for love!"
Xue Ruoli and Qianliu glanced at each other, and they both saw the strange color in each other's eyes.
But at this moment, the voice continued: "But you are more affectionate to him than Jin, and even disobey the master's orders for him, putting life and death aside...... But you don't know what he's doing to you? Don't you want to know? Why don't you let me help you?"
Hearing this, Qianliu frowned slightly, and there was a faint feeling of uneasiness in her heart.
Sure enough, there was suddenly an indescribable flavor in that soft voice: "I spread the news that you disobeyed the orders of the master, betrayed the sect, and were about to be executed for him, and saw if he would come to save you, what do you think...... How?"
Hearing this, Qianliu's face finally changed, and she raised her head suddenly, but the next moment, she suddenly shook her body, her consciousness quickly fell into the darkness, and her body fell softly, Xue Ruoli hurriedly stretched out her hand to support it, and begged: "Lord~~"
The other party said softly: "Ruo Li, you said that you are too, why did you kill your apprentice's sweetheart......?"
Xue Ruoli trembled, her eyes full of fear.
There was a sudden sigh in the wind
Then an ethereal voice drifted from nowhere
"But before you do that, you have to go to the Northwest ...... first."
