Chapter Sixty-Eight: The Doppelganger Lacks Skills
Yun Xiao carefully touched the invisible wall of spiritual arts, like a swamp that could not be touched, and it happened to be erected along the glacier, deliberately blocking her retreat, she looked up again to check the top of her head, the other party clearly knew that the Frost Sky Phoenix could escape from the sky, and even the top was enclosed, like a transparent box, and countless ice corpses moved towards her crookedly.
An Yu Palace Master wrung his hands and didn't know what he was calculating, and there were words in his mouth: "Those guys in the shadows, they really can't handle Huo Cang......"
"Dark ......" heard the most critical words, Yun Xiao's heart tightened, is it the secret department of the forbidden army in the mouth of His Royal Highness the Crown Prince when he was in North Shore City?
Then, the little girl on the opposite side jumped high, this leap higher than the ancient forest of the glacier forest, she tiptoed on the spiritual magic under her own cloth, and rushed towards the direction of the Weeping Snow Plateau!
Yun Xiao watched her actions in surprise, this is not like the ability that a human should have! Why did that girl's body seem to float and fly over like a feather?
The ice corpse was constantly approaching, forcing her to prioritize the danger in front of her, these things could not be killed by pure swordsmanship, but if she used the sword formation on a large scale, her physical strength might not last long.
"Frost day. Yun Xiao shouted the ice and snow god bird, her palm gently brushed the phoenix's feathers, and the frost and snow flew under her palm, and then she took the initiative to approach the group of ice corpses without sense, and the sword wind was cold and hit with a blow, first nailed the ice corpse to the tree, and the action under the palm followed by a heavy blow to the heart of the corpse, only to see the frost and snow grow and spread rapidly, and the ice corpse was frozen together with the ancient tree!
If you can't kill them, you can only find a way to control their actions first, after all, this kind of thing has no mind.
But...... Yun Xiao immediately looked around her, there were too many of them, with her own strength, even with the assistance of the Frost Sky Phoenix, it would be impossible to deal with 100,000 ice corpses!
The carrion of the walking corpse still went forward with her bared teeth, Yun Xiao tried her best to control the breath of the spirit phoenix and did not dare to use it too much, the wind god sword cooperated with the frost and snow, but after a while, the hundreds of ice corpses around her were frozen on the tree.
She could vaguely perceive that the corpse control techniques in the bodies of these ice corpses did not seem to come from the weird little girl just now, but more like the mysterious person she saw in the eyes of the old village chief when she was in the fine snow valley before, so to speak, the person who really controlled the ice corpse attack her should still be hiding in that Si Xingtai now!
You have to find a way to break through the spiritual magic left by the girl and find Si Xingtai!
Yun Xiao strode back to the edge of the glacier, stopped by the psychic spell, she looked like she was leaning against the wall of air, adjusting her breathing slightly.
Protracted warfare has never been what she is good at, in order to make up for her own shortcomings, the swordsmanship she learned in Kunlun is also unexpected, one move determines the victory, at the moment she can't get rid of 100,000 ice corpses in one move, she can only take the risk to try to use the purest swordsmanship to break through the strange and unpredictable spiritual wall in front of her!
"Wind God ......" Yun Xiao silently recited the name of the holy sword in her palm, if it was the Qingmei Sword, she would not dare to take such a risk, but what she was holding in her hand was one of the three holy swords of Feiyuan, "Wind God".
If you take Kunlun's theory, although the practice of magic and swordsmanship are two completely different paths, the world still respects the "sword", as long as the cultivation of swordsmanship is strong enough, it is enough to destroy all the Xuanmen spells.
"Seven turns to one. Her lips and teeth were lightly closed, her wrists rotated seven times in a row, and at the same time as the last "Sword Zero" fell, the previous sevenfold sword qi merged, condensing into a pure white light! Then, the wind god rolled up a terrifying wind, carrying the snow particles deposited in the forest to fly around the white light, Yun Xiao withdrew and retreated a few big steps, and then led the frost and snow to assist!
At the same time that sword slammed into the wall of spiritual arts, it made a muffled sound like a quagmire, and then re-transformed into seven sword lights and bloomed, jumping out of the invisible quagmire!
The water of the glacier was stirred by the sword qi, Yun Xiao's eyes quickly withdrew, and the wind god provoked the river water, hooked out the water wall along the river bank line of hundreds of meters, and poured directly into the glacier forest!
At the same moment as she landed, the breath of the spirit phoenix on her chest exploded, her eyes were black, the wind god plunged into the ice and snow, Yun Xiao held the holy sword tightly, kept her body steady, and shouted: "Frost Heaven!
The bird returned, spreading its huge wings to embrace its new master, and a little bit of it seeped into her body like a mist.
The moment the Frost Sky Phoenix returned to its body, the surging flames were barely suppressed, and Yun Xiao let out a sigh, sweating profusely, and fell into the snow.
"Si Xingtai ......" She was still thinking about that place in her mouth, but her body was already on the verge of limit, and the power of the wind god was undoubtedly terrifying, but it consumed the sword master's spiritual power more than Kunlun's sword spirit!
At this time, a melodious piccolo sound came from the depths of the forest, and Yun Xiao had to force herself to be vigilant again, keeping her eyes on the source of the sound.
At the end of her gaze, a woman in green sat on a white tiger and passed through the countless ice corpses calmly.
It was a translucent woman, with no feet under the empty skirt, smiling, and with the sound of the flute blowing from her mouth, the stiff expression of the ice corpse actually showed a deep exhaustion, and one by one she threw herself into the snow, as if she was about to start sleeping.
Not human...... Yun Xiao instantly realized that something was wrong, the white tiger had already walked in front of her, and the woman on her back stretched out her hand and said with a smile, "Come, I'll help you." β
"Are you?" she looked at the woman on the white tiger vigilantly, the other party had already taken her hand, obviously a soul, but she still took her to the back of the white tiger with a slight pull, "I am the god guard of this glacier forest, named Xue Yaozi, on the order of Lord Feng Ji, I came to look for you, my lord has already gone to Si Xingtai to find the person who controls the corpse, and I will take you out of here first." β
"She's here too?" Yun Xiao was surprised and delighted, and a boulder in her heart was finally put down, but Xue Yaozi caught a glimpse of the brilliance in her eyes, but she mocked leisurely, "You seem to be very happy?" That's right, if Lord Feng Ji takes action personally, it will be easy to deal with a small Si Xingtai, but do you know what will happen to you if the adult comes out to save you?"
Yun Xiaocai's heart was raised to her throat again by her words, that she had unexpectedly seen Feng Ji under the Frost Sky Lake, and at that time her face was haggard and she was already very weak.
"Hey, that's it, who made you her sister, she used to slash the whole clan, and now I'm afraid she really treats you as her only relative. Xue Yaozi sighed, caught a glimpse of the Wind Long Sword in her hand, and exclaimed, "Speaking of which, where did you get this Wind God? This is one of the Three Holy Swords of Feiyuan, which has been in the White Sect before, and has been missing for many years, I remember that it should be ...... Under the seat of the wind god Yujiang, an incarnation of Xuanwu. β
"Wind God Yujiang ......" Yun Xiao knew the origin of the wind god for the first time, and was also surprised, there are many records of the wind god in the "Classic of Mountains and Seas", and there is even a saying of "the wind god of the four directions", Yujiang is not only the legendary "wind god", but also the "sea god" and "plague god".
"I don't know much about the legends of your Central Plains. Xue Yaozi followed and said, blinking mischievously, "According to Feiyuan's legend about the twelve gods, there is indeed a wind god in the heavenly realm......! Well, it's a big turtle, isn't it like the giant turtle that used to carry the sea market?"
"Maybe it's about the same, I remember that Xuanwu is a combination of snakes and turtles, and it is still somewhat similar to that giant turtle. "Yun Xiao actually knows a little bit about it, the Central Plains culture is broad and profound, which can a Kunlun disciple in her twenties be able to fully understand?
"Don't talk about this, I'll take you to me to fix it first, you look weird. Xue Yaozi kindly helped her wipe the sweat stains and sludge off her face, and chattered casually, "There is no god guard on the Weeping Snow Plateau now, I am the closest, and I have to go around often, these days are not peaceful, there are a lot of strange people who have appeared, and there are also that kind of Gu ants that can attract evil, I don't know what to do......"
"Gu ant!" Yun Xiao's eyes suddenly lit up, and she grabbed Shen Shou's arm, but Xue Yaozi was a translucent soul, and she directly pierced through this grab, Yun Xiao didn't notice it at all, and asked anxiously, "Is it someone from the dark part of the forbidden army?"
"Forbidden Army...... Shadows?" Xue Yaozi was momentarily speechless by her question, the Forbidden Land Divine Guard would not interfere with the human movements at will, as long as they did not go too deep, the Divine Guardian would not be excessively expelled.
"I have to go and see, the kid just said that their target is a man named Huo Cang. Yun Xiao jumped directly from the back of the white tiger, and Xue Yaozi hurriedly stopped, "You still want to go, you haven't had a good rest for a few days, even if you have the blood of the Spirit Phoenix Clan, you are only a half-blood after all! You just said Huo Cang, right? He is the general of the White Wolf Legion here, but it is not so easy to have an accident......
"The general of the white wolf?" Yun Xiao paused, but his eyes were even more nervous, the target of the dark department was Qianye, they must be trying to use his subordinates to force Qianye to compromise!
"Hey...... Did you hear me!Hey!" Xue Yaozi shouted loudly, only to see that Yun Xiao had already turned around and rushed in the direction of the Weeping Snow Plateau.
"Oops! This character, how is it exactly the same as Lord Feng Ji!" she grumbled and patted the white tiger, "Catch up with her!"
To go to the Weeping Snow Plateau, you must pass through this forest, now the ice corpses in the forest are attracted by the sound of the flute, and they are sleeping in rows, Yun Xiao stands on tiptoe, carefully shuttling among the countless corpses, the closer to the interior of the forest, the weaker the wind and snow, but the climate is cold and abnormal, it is a strange cold.
"Hey, you wait for me. Xue Yaozi had already followed up and reminded, "Ice corpses can only act at night, and during the day, they will find a corner to sleep in the sun, and now it's night, I can only temporarily let them sleep with the sound of snow demons, but there are too many corpses in this forest, if you continue to go deeper, I can't guarantee that I can save you again!"
"How long does it take to cross this forest?" Yun Xiao stopped and asked Shen Shou, Xue Yaozi thought for a while and said, "It takes three days for ordinary people to walk, if you ride a white tiger or a white wolf, you can go out before dawn." β
"Lend it to me-" Yun Xiao pointed to the white tiger she was riding, Xue Yaozi's eyes widened, she didn't expect this person to be so direct, and hurriedly said, "Lend it to you?"
"Lord Kashou...... Do you still need to walk on your feet?" Yun Xiao's eyes glanced at the corner of her skirt, and Xue Yaozi coughed lightly in embarrassment, "That's right, I'm used to sitting around with a white tiger, and I almost forgot that I can actually float like a ghost, but you, you're too polite!
"Human life is at stake, please be accommodating!" Yun Xiao's tone was very anxious, so that Xue Yaozi could not continue to be embarrassed, she floated down from the white tiger and muttered in a low voice, "This is your own choice, if Lord Feng Ji asks in a while, don't say that I didn't save you!"
"Thank you!" Yun Xiao didn't have time to say another word to her, she had already turned over and jumped onto the white tiger, and quickly disappeared from Xue Yaozi's field of vision.
"Oh, this girl's character...... I kind of like it. Xue Yaozi's eyes changed slightly, and she turned the snow magic flute in her hand, she was late for some reason during the Bailing Conference, and when she arrived at the top of Wanling Peak, it was almost dawn, and Mao that guy was drunk, and he kept holding his hand and kept babbling about what "Lingfeng Mixed Blood", at that time she thought that Haixian was drunk, until she received Lord Fengji's sound transmission technique a moment ago, she found out that what the guy said was true!
Lord Feng Ji once said that he would assist the current Prince of Mingxi to seize power and fight for the survival of aliens in Feiyuan on an equal footing with humans.
Can humans really be trusted...... Xue Yaozi's eyes were cold, revealing deep distrust.
"Hey, that's it, you can do whatever you want. Xue Yaozi shook her head, shaking off the strange speculation in her mind, she looked around, and couldn't help frowning, such a large range of corpse control techniques was unheard of by her, and the strange spiritual technique in the forest before was a hundred miles away, extending to the northernmost part of the forest, even if Yun Xiao was holding the wind god, in fact, it was only a corner of it, who did the imperial capital want to arrest so much?
Xue Yaozi chuckled in her heart, and suddenly remembered one thing - this thing won't damage the central Demon Sealing Seat, right?
At the moment when the sky broke, in the Qianji Palace, Xiao Qianye woke up suddenly, and his whole head was in a sharp pain, as if a pair of invisible hands were about to tear him apart.
However, his first move was still subconsciously looking for the sword spirit around him.
Xiao Yibai took the initiative to hand him the empty sword, his vision in front of him was a little clear, and the moment he saw his brother, he grabbed him by the collar and scolded angrily: "What have you done again? Why haven't you saved people......?
Before the words fell, the body that had just recovered from the stiffness had not yet fully adapted, and fell down like a loose puppet, and the deputy general Xie Changting hurriedly supported him and explained: "Young Pavilion Master, last night he stepped out of the Divine Farmland with his front foot, and there was an accident in his hind foot! There were countless strange ants crawling out of the place where the corpses were buried, and several brothers who were bitten are still in a coma! Fortunately, those ants were eliminated in time when he came back, otherwise, ...... The consequences are unimaginable!"
"Ants?" He suddenly calmed down, Xiao Yibai nodded, and said what happened last night, "I asked Xiao Xie to guard you, and then I went with Shi Feng to burn the corpses of the two dark parts, which were burned with spiritual fire, I thought it was foolproof, but I didn't expect that there was that kind of 'Gu ant' hidden in their corpses, which should have slipped out before the fire burned, and then I was going to save Huo Cang first, and only when I walked out of the divine farmland, I heard that something was abnormal inside, and when I came back, someone had already been bitten." β
As he spoke, he took out a transparent bottle, which still contained the corpse of Gu ants, Xiao Yibai shook it with a serious expression: "This thing is poisonous, and it is elusive, and it is too small to find, I can only stay and clean up these Gu ants first." β
Xiao Qianye didn't blame his brother anymore, if he left to rescue Huo Cang at this time, maybe the Third Army of the White Tiger stationed in the Thousand Machine Palace would suffer heavy losses! The other party came prepared and deliberately made them useless.
Xiao Yibai then reminded, in fact, he was also worried: "The dark department is not a regular army in the first place, and the people under it are scattered all over the year round, living in seclusion in various capacities, as long as they receive orders from above, they can act at any time, if they only talk about force, I am afraid that they may not be comparable to our soldiers, but in terms of mobility, they are indeed slightly better than the military pavilion, they can ambush you on the Dengxian Road, and they will definitely ambush Huo Cang on the snow field, and if you don't get the fine snow valley, something will happen, this is an iron heart to take you back no matter what." β
Xiao Qianye's eyes were cold, and he didn't dare to speak-when he was in the imperial capital, everything was as usual, why did the situation become so dangerous as soon as he arrived in Jialuo, and sure enough, His Majesty became suspicious of the affairs of North Shore City and began to intervene in the investigation?
"Xiao Xie, you go out and see how those soldiers are doing, if you don't get better, send them to Fulong Town at the bottom of the mountain to find other doctors to try. Xiao Yibai was silent to deliberately support Xie Changting, the deputy general did not become suspicious, turned around and ran out, Xiao Yibai took a deep breath and lowered his voice, "I contacted Mingxi and Gongsun Yan last night, and they said that there was nothing abnormal in Tianyu City, and His Majesty still went to court as usual, the only change was to order the Moon Saintess to keep an eye on Mingxi's star position, and this time I suddenly arrested you secretly, it shouldn't be for the sake of North Shore City." β
"Not for the Northshore City...... Did the Night King tell him about the ancient species?" Xiao Qianye frowned, remembering the sudden visit of Huang Yan in the Autumn Election, his eyes were serious, "Or maybe he himself noticed something, so he quietly ordered the Dark Department to secretly arrest me?"
"If the Night King wants to say, how can Your Majesty let you leave Heavenly City safely? Xiao Yibai affirmed his brother's guess, and was worried and helpless in his heart, "After all, with Mingxi's current power, if he directly arrests you in Tianyu City, he will only startle the snake, speaking of which, do you know the details of the brilliant flame in the autumn selection? Mingxi can tell me, he can go against the wind and disappear, it is a spell of the Heavenly Realm, if the Star Sacrifice Palace also guesses that he is a person from the Heavenly Realm, Your Majesty suddenly wants to secretly arrest you at this time, it is not a strange thing." β
"Huang Yan ......" Xiao Qianye read this person's name again, and there was still pain in his mind, making him involuntarily rub his forehead hard, "Hades King Huang Yan, he said that he came to find Emperor Zhong...... He also said that Emperor Zhong's ancient dust is now inserted in the heart of the Nightmare in the Valley of Eastern Immortal Confinement, so that I can retrieve Emperor Zhong's memory. β
"Immortal...... Gu Chen!" Xiao Qianye exclaimed in surprise, he had been to the Valley of Confinement, and he had seen the Heart of Nightmare, the black gold ancient knife inserted in the heart of the Nightmare Demon was actually left by the God of War Emperor Zhong?
"That's not what Emperor Zhong left. Xiao Qianye knew what the eldest brother was thinking, and his tone was calm, "I...... After seeing the ancient seed that devoured the Night King, he said that the ancient dust was not left by Emperor Zhong, but by our ancestor, the poor Qi. β
"...... you" Xiao Yibai looked at his younger brother incredulously, he hadn't seen him for a few days, what had happened to him?
"Although the Night King deliberately wanted to conceal the matter of Emperor Zhong, it is a pity that he was disturbed by the Hades King, Your Majesty is such a shrewd person, if he finds that the Heavenly Realm has been in contact with the Heavenly Expedition Mansion again and again, it is reasonable for him to be suspicious and want to arrest me to investigate clearly. Xiao Qianye opened his five fingers and grabbed hard, feeling that his body had almost recovered, and at this time, the sky was dawning, and the sun was rising from the east.
"Immortal...... Why did he come to you?" Xiao Yibai grabbed his younger brother, his eyes trembling unconsciously.
"Maybe......" Xiao Qianye held down his heart, but smiled dismally, "Maybe Di Zhong is really alive." β
Then, he left his brother and strode out of the Qianji Palace, and whistled at the top of the palace, the Tianzheng Bird circled down in response, and Xiao Qianye jumped directly on the back of the bird.
"Qianye, where are you going?" Xiao Yibai chased him out, there was a nameless uneasiness in his heart, the white giant bird circled around him, Xiao Qianye said calmly: "Huo Cang has not arrived so far, most of them are in danger, I must rush to save him! Big brother, can you contact Feng Ji, what is the situation in Xixue Valley now?"
"Now is not the time to worry about other people, you come back!" Xiao Yibai wanted to stop him, but the Tianzheng Bird had already flown up, and he didn't have a chance to stop it at all!
"Big brother, please be sure to guard the third team of the White Tiger. Xiao Qianye silently spoke on the back of the bird, although it was very light, but every word sounded clearly in Xiao Yibai's ears, "The current military pavilion, one handsome ten generals, twenty-four deputy generals, sixty captains, all of them are like brothers and sisters with me, I can't ignore them for my own safety at this time! Big brother, I know that you are no longer the general of the White Tiger, but I still ask you to ...... Be sure to protect each and every one of them. β
"Qianye! Wait a minute!" Xiao Yibai shouted sharply, but the white giant bird had already swept towards the east like lightning!
Oh no! Oh no! He was anxious, his younger brother's character was very clear to him, in fact, even if he went to save people alone, he might not really fall behind, he was afraid that those scheming guys would use Huo Cang to threaten him! What's more, Xixue Gu and Yun Xiao didn't know what the situation was at the moment!
The wind and the sun are beautiful on the snowfield, today is a rare sunny day, he is on the back of the Tianzheng Bird, the line of sight is excellent, and he can see through the bottom at a glance.
But after a while, the Heavenly Expeditionary Bird flew over the snow monument, and Xiao Qianye couldn't help but turn his head to take a lookβit was still endless, connected to the sky, just quietly, and there was no other abnormality before.
Although there are no road signs on the snow field, but in fact, the military pavilion according to the compass made by the ordnance department, the route is basically fixed and will not deviate too far, this road he has walked repeatedly for eight years, and he has already been familiar with it, and the white wolf's size is much smaller than the white tiger, but the action is more agile, if it is calculated according to time, Huo Cang should have arrived at the Thousand Machines Palace at this time, but now the Tianzheng Bird has passed through the snow monument, and still has not seen the figure of the white wolf general.
"Huocang ......" Xiao Qianye was anxious, Huo Cang was the oldest general in the military cabinet, he had served in the White Wolf Legion as early as his father's time, but this person acted informally, although he was also a famous general, but he always disliked Panyan and attached to the power, although his father was also the master of the military cabinet, but he was very tactful in doing things, and he was very good at entertaining in the imperial capital where the light was raised, and the various bureaucratic departments were very good, Huo Cang was also because of a few words with the captain of the first team of the forbidden army at an annual banquet, and was reprimanded by his father for a few words, and he resigned in a fit of anger.
After he came back to take over the military cabinet, perhaps because of his diametrically opposite personality to his father, he took the initiative to sign up to continue to run for the white wolf general, originally according to the convention, he was not qualified to continue to serve, but he really liked this honest big brother very much, which made a special exception.
The White Wolf Legion has only four detachments, and the patrol range is the entire Glacier Forest, and the most dangerous place is the "Sealed Demon Seat" in the middle of the ancient forest, he has always known that there is a bit of evil in the place where the Demon Sealing Throne is, but it was not until not long ago that he learned the truth from Shu Shaobai's mouth.
"Don't have an accident, Huo Cang......" Xiao Qianye clenched his teeth, and Tianzheng Bird sensed the master's urgent mood, and couldn't help but speed up.
He didn't know that at this moment, in a place where he couldn't see, the fighting had been going on all night.
