Chapter 237: It's hard to fly with wings
Zhu Yan was very happy to appreciate the complex emotional changes on her face, stepped back with relish and let go of a position, and leaned over slightly to make a standard "please" as a nobleman in the imperial capital, and said in a gentle tone: "Miss Yun, please, I was ordered to come here to take you back." β
"Take me back?" Yun Xiao looked at him vigilantly, not daring to relax the sword spirit in his hand, although his face was still light and light, his heart was pounding, Zhu Yan nodded, and continued: "Emperor Tianzun has a life, let me take Miss Yun back to the imperial capital for a few days." β
"He wants to use me to threaten Qianye?" Yun Xiao immediately reacted, gritted her teeth, and asked in a low voice, "The Tianquan Emperor back then even wanted to arrest me and threaten Qianye even if he destroyed the Fine Snow Valley, and now that he is in the world of the Tianzun Emperor, he still wants to use the same means to deal with him?"
"Heh......" Zhu Yan smiled faintly, and did not deny it, but reminded him word by word, "Your Majesty's mind is not something that people like me can easily figure out, but the current situation seems that Your Majesty is also excusable for doing this, after all, Pavilion Lord Xiao is a wanted criminal who endangers the whole territory, and Miss Yun is the person he cares about the most, so naturally he can't let it go easily." β
Yun Xiao's eyes were like electricity, and her mouth was as firm as iron: "I won't let you succeed." β
"Oh?" Zhu Yan sighed and looked up, his eyes lit up, but he still smiled at her, "Then I can't help you." β
Before the words fell, the Qingmei Sword seized the opportunity to force Zhu Yan back, the other party's figure shook like a ghost, but there was a sharp wind between the slight movements, Yun Xiao held his breath and concentrated, carefully perceiving the danger hidden in this strange wind, this person had served as the chief commander of the White Sect, and he had a lot of experience in the several forbidden techniques of the White Sect, and there was a ghost cry in the wind at the moment, it was obviously a "blood curse" from one of the four forbidden arts!
She secretly changed her sword style, and once again carried the flame to attach to the blade, and after the Devil May Cry in the blood spell collided with the flames, a sharp white light popped out, emitting a pungent breath.
Zhu Yan covered his nose and retreated, and couldn't help frowning, it is indeed a disadvantage to use magic against the breath of the spirit phoenix, even if the flame in the other party's body is not pure at all, but it is still the supreme bloodline of the divine bird lineage, and it will also force him, who is already a foreign race, to retreat out of instinctive courtesy.
"Tsk...... Annoying. Zhu scolded impatiently, extremely disgusted by this instinct but unable to restrain it, he hooked his spiritual power with his fingertips and put it to his lips, his lips and teeth closed lightly, and he didn't know what to say.
Yun Xiao cautiously retracted her sword, taking defense as an attack, staring intently at his every move, and at the same time, she was also perceiving the subtle changes around her with her keen intuition.
The wind rose, the wind stopped, forcing her to stop the sword in her hand and hold her breath.
There was a voice approaching on the periphery of the barrier, menacing, more than one person.
Zhu Yan snorted coldly, his eyes flashed with a fierce light, and he raised his hand and waved violently, he actually took the initiative to break through the enchantment! Without waiting for Yun Xiao to react, several sturdy figures jumped into the cracks at once, and in an instant, his footsteps were like lightning coming towards her from all directions!
The Qingmei Sword blocked the sword shadow in front of her, and then turned around in seconds to repel the sword light behind her, Yun Xiao's forehead was in cold sweat, and she clenched her teeth and turned the direction of the sword spirit again, the slashing force on the left side was extremely heavy, making her arm cramp slightly and lose consciousness for a short time, and the stabbing blow on the right side came like electricity, making her instinctively turn around and dodge.
Immediately followed by the cold sword blade from the throat, almost cutting the neck against the skin, Yun Xiao's footsteps shook and fell back, and the Qingmei Sword stabbed into the ground to stabilize the body, and then took the tip of the sword as the center of the circle, and ignited the flame of the Red Lotus Sword Array, coupled with the fire of the Spirit Phoenix, which barely allowed the other sword qi that sneaked from the vest to be withdrawn.
Just a few seconds later, Yun Xiao was panting in the sword formation, and her right arm was already unconscious!
This series of skillful offensive actions made Yun Xiao fall into surprise, she breathed hard, trying her best to make her breathing recover faster, but after taking the initiative to carry the breath of the spirit phoenix to help ignite the Red Lotus Sword Formation, the tearing pain in her body swept over again, and she had no choice but to hold the Qingmei Sword with both hands, and her eyes became cloudy due to the pain.
When she looked closely, there were several upright figures standing in the wind of the blood curse, dressed in uniform silver-black military uniforms, each holding a weapon standing on all sides of her.
It's the people of the military pavilion!
Yun Xiao couldn't believe it, but she couldn't help it, she even noticed in an instant that the special badges on those people's shoulders were special military orders that only the rank of the military pavilion general would wear!
Eight...... Except for the White Tiger General who has been vacant and the White Wolf General who is still recuperating from his injuries, the remaining eight people have all been called back?
Yun Xiao chuckled in her heart, knowing that this time it was difficult to escape again, as early as when she was in the East Immortal Wanyou City, she had doubts, at this juncture of life and death in the whole realm, why would Emperor Tianzun still follow the custom to recall all the three generals stationed here to the imperial capital for the New Year's banquet, it turned out that he was waiting for this moment to come and secretly arrest her!
That person, who was so scheming, was obviously a young man less than thirty, and he could really strategize like this, as if he was walking on the path he had already designed at every step.
At the moment of the stalemate, a figure suddenly moved, he first took three steps in a daze, and then almost lost his mind and rushed up, at the moment when he was close to the Red Lotus Sword Array and was about to be burned by the firelight, the person was held down by his colleagues around him, and he still shouted anxiously: "Ah Xiao!"
Yun Xiao immediately recognized the source of this voice, and couldn't help blurting out: "Zhuo Fan?"
The firelight dissipated, and finally reflected the faces of several people opposite, Ye Zhuofan looked at her in surprise, and blurted out in disbelief: "Ah Xiao, why are you?"
Yun Xiao didn't reply, and looked at Zhu Yan suspiciously, this person didn't have such a lot of power to mobilize the eight generals of the military pavilion to ambush him at the same time, but now these people were obviously coming for him! Could it be that Mingxi just gave them an ambiguous pursuit warrant, and didn't even say who the target of the pursuit was?
"By the way, I remembered, Major General Ye and Miss Yun are old acquaintances. Zhu Yan thought about it thoughtfully, but the smile on the corner of his mouth was even more terrifying, Ye Zhuofan glared at this extremely bad reputation of the male pet of the Joy Pavilion, even if he knew that he must be the person appointed by Emperor Tianzun, his tone was not polite at all, "Zhu Yan, what the hell is going on?"
"Heh, can't Major General Ye see what's going on?" Zhu Yan didn't mind such an aggressive questioning, raised a finger indifferently, and said in a low voice, "The order that Your Majesty gave to the military pavilion is to assist me in chasing down a person, and the generals don't need to ask more, as long as the order is executed, it is enough." β
Ye Zhuofan endured a sigh of relief, knowing that the other party deliberately wanted to use Emperor Tianzun to suppress him, but in a blink of an eye, he saw Yun Xiao, who was pale in the center of the sword array, and still couldn't help but be angry, and continued to ask: "Zhu Yan, Your Majesty does have an order for us to assist you, but she ...... She's not even a native of Feiyuan, so why did His Majesty want to arrest her?"
"Major General Ye shouldn't pretend to be confused, right?" Zhu Yan smiled, knowing that he was using a euphemistic remark in another way, so he simply didn't hide it, and said bluntly, "With her relationship with Pavilion Master Xiao, even if Your Majesty asks us to correct the Fa on the spot, it is not an exaggeration to take her back is just to give Pavilion Lord Xiao some warnings, after all, it has only been a few days since the tragedy in the East Underworld, Major General Ye should not forget it so quickly, right?"
didn't wait for Ye Zhuofan to say anything more, the colleagues around him secretly glanced at him and persuaded in a low voice: "Zhuofan, don't mess around." β
Yun Xiao heard their conversation, and then looked at the military cabinet colleague who was holding Ye Zhuofan tightly and did not let go, his face was cold, at first glance he was a veteran who had been weathered for a long time, a pair of sharp eyes did not carry the slightest personal emotion, the military pavilion has always been order-oriented, and all military orders should be directly controlled by those in power, especially after the former military cabinet master has become a sinner who has turned his back on his homeland, this kind of thing is even more natural, they have no reason and cannot violate the arrest warrant issued by the emperor himself!
It's no wonder that the waves of menacing attacks just now made her, who has been practicing swords since she was a child, almost unable to parry, if it is a person of the general level who shoots directly, plus there is a person like Zhu Yan who is proficient in the secret art of the White Sect to assist, then she is really difficult to fly.
Zhu Yan waited for a while, looked at Yun Xiao in the center of the flames, sighed, and persuaded in a good voice: "How long does Miss Yun have to maintain the sword formation?" I don't mind waiting, anyway, with your current physical condition, I have time to spend with you, but I still have to kindly remind you that even if you are a mixed-race Lingfeng clan, your vitality is far beyond that of ordinary people, you are indeed not easy to die from the enemy, but you are killed by yourself...... Actually, it's not that hard. β
"Ah Xiao......" Ye Zhuofan's worry was beyond words, and he couldn't step forward to help her share it, so he bit his lip in annoyance, and blood dripped down the corners of his mouth.
"Why don't you persuade Major General Ye too?" Zhu Yan was full of interest, and turned to him without hurry, he could actually see at a glance that this young aristocratic son was careful about Yun Xiao, but he not only did not want to avoid embarrassment, but instead ignited inexplicable excitement, quietly walked towards him, and said in a low voice, "Major General Ye should still persuade, she is now a legitimate lady of the pavilion master, and I don't want to get along with a woman." β
Ye Zhuofan lost his mind slightly, and his surprised look was directly expressed on his face, Zhu Yan secretly laughed in his heart, thinking of Ye Zhuofan's more or less lost heart at the moment, and thinking that these high-ranking noble disciples also had things that they couldn't ask for, he was extremely excited, and even wanted to laugh a few times to vent his resentment for many years.
"Zhuo Fan, you go and persuade. The colleagues around him quietly pulled him behind him, and at a glance they noticed that Zhu was disgusted with this person's bad taste, and the colleagues ignored it, pointed directly at Yun Xiao, and said in a low voice, "I see that her face is really not good, if she really has that kind of relationship with the young pavilion master, then whether it is His Majesty's order or not, we can't let her go." β
Ye Zhuofan took a deep breath, knowing that he had no choice at this moment, Xiao Qianye was not only his top boss, but also his childhood friend, although he didn't believe that person would really make the move of "turning his back on his homeland" and "taking refuge in the heavenly realm", but the facts at the moment were in front of him, whether he believed it or not, he was not allowed to make his own choice.
"Zhuo Fan......" Yun Xiao looked at Ye Zhuofan uncertainly, he strode to the edge of the Red Lotus Sword Array, his eyes were still as clear as water, but with a stoic spirit that she had never seen before, he spoke word by word, "Ah Xiao, Your Majesty has an order to bring you back to the imperial capital, I know that you are the personal disciple of the head of Kunlun and the inheritor of the breath of the spirit phoenix, if you don't compromise, you will only lose both, but the military order is like a mountain, and the young pavilion master is suspicious, I can't disobey Your Majesty's order, don't embarrass me." β
Yun Xiao looked at him blankly, every word of his was sonorous and powerful, and it came to her ears clearly, she even knew that Ye Zhuofan's situation was the only choice he could make, but she still retorted unwillingly, and shouted: "Zhuo Fan, he took me back just to threaten Qianye, if I really go with you, Qianye will be in danger!"
Ye Zhuofan thought about it slightly, and in the face of the girl he had liked since he was a child, he was still a little hesitant.
Zhu Yan didn't know when he had come to his side, patted him on the shoulder, smiled in his eyes, and took the initiative to answer: "Miss Yun, let's worry about yourself first, shouldn't you have forgotten, Yun Qiushui is still in Tianyu City now, and the Lingyin clan named Tianche doesn't seem to have left in time, do you really only care about the safety of Pavilion Master Xiao alone, and don't care about your mother and senior brother?"
"You!" was poked by him in the death hole, Yun Xiao's body trembled, but her eyes finally compromised a little bit.
Ye Zhuofan caught a glimpse of the worry on her face, and hurriedly comforted: "Ah Xiao, don't worry, Madame is currently living in my house, Emperor Tianzun did not embarrass her, Tianche is also temporarily living in Qin Tower, they are all fine." β
Yun Xiao glanced at her childhood friend, with a meaningful look in her eyes, she dispersed the Red Lotus Sword Formation, and left the Blue Charm Sword with both hands.
Zhu Yan glanced at the cyan sword spirit inserted on the ground, signaled a general of the military pavilion to put it away carefully, and then strode towards Yun Xiao, a black and shiny thing fell brightly in his sleeve, and chanted with a smile: "Then I will be wronged by Miss Yun for the time being, after all, with your skills and bloodline, I can't feel at ease if I don't wear something for you." β
Ye Zhuofan looked at this person who had been smiling in disgust, and shouted, "What are you going to do?"
"It's nothing, I asked for something small from the armory before I came. Zhu Yan replied lightly, and after a soft "click", it was a slender handcuff directly handcuffed to Yun Xiao's wrist, and before Ye Zhuofan could stop him angrily, Zhu Yan had already bent down and made another "click", and a leg cuff was also cuffed at her ankle.
Yun Xiao looked helplessly at the things on her hands and feet, it was obviously specially made, using the strongest sea soul stone on the flying wall, although the chain was very slender and lightweight, it was not used to restrain ordinary prisoners at first glance, but this material was extremely strong, and the main material of several prisons was used for it.
Zhu Yan stood up straight, looking at Yun Xiao with a pair of eyes with ill intentions, his face was full of extreme ecstasy, and he couldn't help laughing out loud when he saw itβthis woman had a bloodline that was intimidating to all aliens, and would make him instinctively restrain himself from hurting her, but now, she had become a prisoner under herself!
No one can empathize with the thrill of revenge.
"Is it enough?" Ye Zhuofan held back his anger, and the colleagues around him dragged his sleeves to prevent him from losing control of his emotions, Zhu Yan paused, clapped his hands as if he remembered something, and said with a smile, "There is another one." β
As he spoke, he reached out and touched Yun Xiao's neck, and there was a thin black ring between his fingers, and there was another piece of vermilion in the center, and after the light sound of "click" sounded again, Zhu Yan finally couldn't hold back his laughter, completely ignoring the expressions of the surrounding generals who were disgusted or surprised, and laughed out of shape and shed tears.
"What is this......" Yun Xiao couldn't understand this sudden laughter at all, and subconsciously raised her hand to touch the ring around her neck.
"Don't touch it!" Ye Zhuofan broke out in a cold sweat, grabbed her hand, and put it down carefully, his face was pale and his lips were purple, "Don't touch that thing, it's a special neck ring made by the armory, which contains the special gunpowder studied by the Star Sacrifice Palace and the Water Hell of the Binding King, if you don't have a key to open it...... It will explode directly. β
Zhu Yan finally stopped laughing, looked at Yun Xiao with gloomy eyes, and said in a low voice: "Major General Ye is right, this thing is still being studied, and it hasn't even been tried on the test body, but Miss Yun is the breath of the spirit phoenix, and she won't die if it explodes." β
Everyone frowned, their faces were cold and abnormal, and they were tacitly silent.
Zhu Yan also stopped talking, and pointed in the direction of the imperial capital city to signal her to follow-he had already investigated, the pure-blooded Lingfeng clan would not die, but the half-blood was different, and the half-blood only had two ways to die, one was that the extremely unstable fire would eat itself, and the other was that the damage caused by the instant death could not be recovered!
All half-bloods die from the first type, with Yun Xiao being the only exception.
Zhu Yan was in a good mood, if it weren't for the eight generals following him, he would even want to hum a little song right now - he just wanted to see if this only exception would really die from the second accident!
