Chapter 122: Support from the Quartet
Wanluo Hall was surrounded by layers, and the sea of people under black pressure continued to surge, because the outer walls cast by the wind had all dispersed, the internal ladders and the ground on each floor had also completely collapsed, and the entire hall was in chaos.
Two white figures fought in it, one defending against the Medicine Man Soldiers, the other against the Weathered Ghost Hand, both of whom were obviously about to lose their hold.
Those forbidden soldiers who were usually lazy seemed to have a different appearance at this time, and even though the smashed stones were bloody and bloody, they still held their spears and refused to retreat a bit.
"Don't you feel pain?" Xiao Qianye thought thoughtfully, remembering the secret attack in the Glacier Forest, most of them were from noble backgrounds when they could serve in the troops stationed in the forbidden army, Gao Chengchuan shouldn't be so disregarding the impact and directly transform them into medicine talents, what unknown changes happened down there?
"It seems to be controlled by someone. Yun Xiao also noticed the strange abnormality in front of her and carefully squeezed his hand.
"Control ......" Xiao Qianye's eyes flashed with a cold light, and he gritted his teeth, "Is it those Gu ants again?" I must find out that person and kill him!"
"Wait. Yun Xiao grabbed Xiao Qianye, who was about to jump, the deep moon in his palm continued to emit a gentle white light, and then looked at the sky above his head, the statues of the ten gods of Hades had not disappeared, and the ten strange blood lines were still pointing to the center, and there was a steady stream of blood-like light flowing little by little.
"Don't worry, I think this formation is a bit strange, if it can counter the power from the heavenly realm, then the prince who is protected by Shen Yue will definitely be attacked, looking at its general trend, I guess it should be ten people who are bound by this formation, with their power running, it can withstand such a terrifying power, most of them are medicine people who have been transformed by the Binding King Water Prison, right?" Yun Xiao was worried, Xiao Qianye suddenly remembered the ten empty coffins he saw in the laboratory of the Binding King Water Prison, and exclaimed, "It's the medicine man! The Ten Most Successful Medicine Men -- Is this strange formation based on them?"
"Well, most likely. Yun Xiao looked at him, reached out and touched the scars on his body that were scratched by the ghost hands, his eyes were full of uneasiness, "King Chen and the Night King have already left, and now there are still people in the city who still have the power of the Heavenly Realm, except for you, there is only the crown prince, so those ghost hands will always surround him"
"Is it because of Shen Yue?" Xiao Qianye was startled, looking at the piece of ancient jade in her palm that was as bright as the moon, and gritted her teeth, "It can not only protect the prince from being injured by the Heavenly Realm, but also let him be attacked by the formation after the wind and water are reversed, he took great pains to let the Ten Palaces Hades Formation counterattack to the Heavenly Realm, didn't he calculate that this kind of power will also hurt the prince? This is not like something he would do, there must be something strange." β
"Ever since I got Shen Yue, I have always vaguely felt that it contains a huge divine power, but this divine power is very forbearing, and it seems that it will not easily explode when it is not in a desperate situation, and my father will only deceive it at all costs for this power. Yun Xiao lowered her eyes, Shen Yue had never left her body since she was born, and even the ability to suppress the breath of the Spirit Phoenix in her body allowed her to grow up with a mixed-race body, becoming the only mixed-race survivor in the history of the Spirit Phoenix Clan.
"Desperate ......" Xiao Qianye read her words, looking at the statue of Hades in the sky, her lips pursed into a line.
The Ten Halls of Hell Array is located under the Xingluo Lake, at the lowest level of the Water Prison of the Binding King, smelting millions of innocent lives, once it completely breaks out of control, the necromancers escape from it and ascend to heaven, which is undoubtedly a disaster of destruction for the imperial capital.
The remaining bloodline of the two gods on Emperor Tianquan's body was actually very weak, otherwise this terrifying formation would not have been able to stop King Chen and King Night after being forcibly reversed by the wind and water, and it would not have just caused a little flesh wound.
His true purpose...... Is it to create an image of destruction and resonate with the Sinking Moon?
"It's messing around. Xiao Qianye sighed silently, the lonely figure of Emperor Tianquan seemed to be close in front of him, "Only by resonating with Shen Yue can the underwater necromancer be eliminated, and it takes great pains to run the Ten Halls of Yama Array, just to destroy it forever by the hand of Shen Yue, after all, ...... Only the power of the Upper Heavenly Realm can destroy the formation created by the Upper Heavenly Realm. β
"Well, he originally calculated just right, and even calculated that I would come, relying on the Ten Halls of Hades to lead the resonance of Shenyue, and then destroy the big array with the power of Shenyue, as soon as the formation is broken, the prince will not be attacked again, but he miscalculated, the power of Shenyue has been consumed a lot by me, and I can't completely destroy the big array. β
Xiao Qianye was silent, Emperor Tianquan deserved to be the emperor standing at the top, after he realized that he was involved in a shocking scam, he was still just so indifferent and quiet, not making any excuses for his past mistakes, but quietly calculating, and even being able to quickly counterattack in such a short reaction time!
This amazing reversal is something that even the shrewd crown prince never thought of, right?
For the Heavenly Realm, which was located above the Nine Heavens and had long since left the earthly world, this may be the first time that it has been counterattacked by human beings.
The corners of his mouth suddenly rose, and he wanted to laugh, but inexplicable worry welled up in his heart.
Xiao Qianye froze for a moment, and gently rubbed his forehead with his hand - the person in the depths of his body was also worried about his former homeland, even if he had been away for an unknown amount of time, he would still undisguise his worry at this moment.
"Are you alright?" Yun Xiao looked at him, and also noticed that he seemed to have some unconcealed mood swings.
"Well, it's fine. Xiao Qianye nodded, Yun Xiao solemnly handed Shen Yue into his hand, and the Flowing Fire Sword turned back to the form of a blazing phoenix: "The power of Shen Yue was consumed by me, so as compensation, please return it to the prince, you still need a little help to break the formation, before that, you have to be careful of the remaining ghost hands, they will still be attracted by you and the prince with the power of Shen Yue." β
"Ah Xiao!" Xiao Qianye wanted to stop her, but Yun Xiao had already jumped back to the bird's back lightly, and then turned back to him with a clear smile, "I am better than you in the formation, after all, I was originally a major in sword formation, in addition, my sister has already gone to chase the ground and bind the spirit, you don't need to be distracted by the monsters, Qianye, you must be careful yourself, although the soldiers below are controlled by others, but they themselves are also a little weird, I am worried that they have also been used to test medicines, and there may be unexpected changes in their physique." β
"Hmm. Xiao Qianye's expression was solemn, compared to the Ten Halls Hades Array, the soldiers of the forbidden army who had been transformed into medicine men and controlled by Gu ants were more tricky at the moment.
He jumped down from the sword spirit and landed directly in the center of Wanluo Palace, in front of him, Gongsun Yan was dressed in a rare thin white clothes, without the heavy gorgeous fox fur, Gongsun Yan also seemed to be a completely different person, the short knife in his hand took Gao Chengchuan's Yandi sword, but he was obviously not a good martial artist, and his arm spasmed and almost lost consciousness under several consecutive heavy slashes, Gongsun Yan caught a glimpse of the figure falling from the sky behind him, and he didn't have time to catch his breath, and a row of spears stabbed at his side, forcing him to use his other hand to draw out the long knife to block, and his steps were messy and kept retreatingγ
This stubborn kid who wanders in the willow lane of the flower street is a well-known playboy in the whole territory of Feiyuan, because he has a good personal relationship with the crown prince, he has already covered the sky with one hand a long time ago, and he is doing black and white all-in-one things at a young age, but who would have thought that such a person would hold a treasure knife at this moment, and fight against Gao Chengchuan, the governor of the forbidden army, perhaps attracted by such a Gongsun Yan, although Xiao Qianye was vigilant at the first time to hold the sword spirit, but he did not make a move.
"Hey, don't watch the show, come and help!" Gongsun Yan was already sweating profusely, and his physical strength was about to be overdrawn, so he finally waited for reinforcements, and saw that he couldn't move, so he had to scold viciously.
As soon as the words fell, Emperor Yan's sword approached, Gongsun Yan's feet slipped and he didn't stand firmly, and when he came back to his senses, it was too late to dodge, and when he saw that the crimson golden sword blade was about to cut off his neck, another brighter white light actually shot out against his throat!
He felt the aura of the sword spirit in an instant, and almost cut his throat!
"Hey, be careful!" he broke out in a cold sweat, and he didn't know if Xiao Qianye did it on purpose, so he complained angrily.
Xiao Qianye took Gongsun Yan's collar and threw him directly behind him, took the long knife from under his palm, and swung it vigorously to hit the medicine man soldiers! He used the back of the knife, and it seemed that he didn't really want to kill these people in front of him.
"Oh, it's you. Gao Chengchuan was forced to take a step back, and finally saw his face clearly, with an awe-inspiring expression, and he didn't dare to be as casual as before.
Xiao Qianye glanced coldly at the Yandi Sword, which was one of the most prestigious "Four Emperor Sword", a symbol of power, and was once one of the weapons he was most interested in.
The Yandi Sword is a spiral heavy sword intersected with red and gold, which will show a brilliant golden color in the sun, but in such a night, it is a dark red red, like a bloodthirsty monster, it is forged from a kind of red refining rock, the whole body is inlaid with magnificent gold, and the blade can burn the skin.
"You really escaped, the Heavenly Realm didn't plan to kill you at all. Gao Chengchuan sighed, he was always old and spicy, and then asked in a mocking tone, "The little wolf cub I raised seems to have been rescued by you, what's the matter, hasn't the military pavilion master heard the story of luring the wolf into the house?"
"I like the wolf cub you raised, Governor Gao doesn't cherish it, why don't you be a favor and send it to me?"
"Send you?" Gao Chengchuan laughed and blurted out, "If you like to take it, just if you are bitten back one day, don't blame me." β
"Well, it's great that the Governor is willing to cut his love, but I have to do one more thing if I don't want to be bitten back by him. Xiao Qianye's eyes locked, and he fell on Gao Chengchuan's heart, and suddenly pointed there with his empty sword, and whispered, "Soul melting...... Governor Gao is a lot old, don't be reckless when you should be old, staring at a young man trying to snatch someone else's body, it's really a bit unkind, do you still want to rejuvenate and live for another eighty years?"
"Don't stand and talk without back pain, you will also have a time when you are old enough to hold the sword steadily, you want to train me, and you should wait until then. Gao Chengchuan bit his lip suddenly, and was poked in the sore spot, but when he saw the corner of the other party's mouth smile lightly, when he raised his eyes again, his eyes actually appeared gold and silver!
Xiao Qianye also sighed with him, and said lightly: "It's a pity, I may not have that day, I will train you at that time, I'm afraid I don't know when I will wait." "Celestials
"You ......" Gao Chengchuan's heart was shocked, who was this person? Why did a strange aura suddenly pour out of this familiar body that he had never been exposed to?
The old man clenched the Yan Emperor's sword in fear, felt his arm tremble a little unconsciously, and suddenly remembered that before the connection with Mu Xizhao was forcibly severed, the Night King of the Heavenly Realm had called him an "old friend and fellow initiate".
"Huh. Xiao Qianye sensed his emotions and deliberately provoked, "After so many years, the King Binding Water Prison still hasn't been able to research the true immortality technique?
Gao Chengchuan took a deep breath, and there was a flash of gloom in his eyes.
In order to have enough time to fully fly to the sky, His Majesty has been looking for a way to prolong life, which is called "immortality" to the outside world, at first he also thought that His Majesty simply wanted to live longer, just like when the ancestors were still in the sky, but as the process of immortality gradually deepened, more and more unknown medicinal effects entered the scope of experiments, during this period, the test subjects also had huge differences, and they gradually created a new "human", even a completely unknown "monster" , resulting in their physique being stronger, and even being able to ignore physical injuries and complete some tasks that ordinary people can't think of.
Gao Chengchuan glanced at those weathered ghost hands, this is a monster created by the vine demon as the prototype and the water prison of the binding king, and it was finally put into use for the first time with the power of the Ten Halls Hades Array!
With such an astonishing power, even the two kings of the Heavenly Realm did not want to entangle with it.
Removing the monsters, those people were quietly transferred to the shadows for a second test of medicine, in order to hide people's eyes, in the record book of the King of Water Prison, they were uniformly called "waste products".
But scrap products also have a fatal weakness, they are extremely unstable, very difficult to control, and can even fight back against their owners when they lose their minds.
The young man of the Lingyin clan, Tianshi, who accidentally escaped from the Water Hell of the Bound King more than a month ago, is such a waste product, he can even destroy the end of the world with his own strength, such an amazing destructive power makes him feel very troublesome, in order to prevent the accident from happening again, the dark department has also strengthened the control of other waste products.
"Let me show you how to achieve eternal life. Xiao Qianye observed the subtle changes in Gao Chengchuan's face, and raised a finger to point to the sky, "As long as you can defeat me and replace me, then you can go there and achieve eternal life." β
"There......" Gao Chengchuan lost his mind slightly, looked into the sky in the direction of his finger, and suddenly his eyes sank, like thick ink that could not be dissolved, and said in a low voice, "You really have something to do with the Heavenly Realm, no wonder Your Majesty wants to hunt you down in the dark, you are from the Heavenly Realm?"
"Dark ......" Xiao Qianye's tone sank, and he sneered, "Thank you Governor Gao for reminding me, the people in the dark department really made me suffer a little, the two people who pretended to be husband and wife on the Dengxian Road, and the old man who ambushed Huo Cang on the snow field, were all sent by you, right? Hmph, that's just right, it's time to settle the old accounts together." β
Before the words fell, the sword wind had arrived in front of him, Gao Chengchuan strode away, still old and strong, but Xiao Qianye had already seen through his movements, and shot faster and more steadily than him, the two swords collided together, and the originally injured Likong Sword cracked again with a "ding" sound.
Perhaps because of the scruples of the sword spirit in his hand, Xiao Qianye quietly slowed down his attack, and Gao Chengchuan was also keenly aware of the abnormality of the sword spirit in his hand, and took advantage of the disadvantage that he didn't dare to use too much force, and moved his body flexibly.
On the other side, Xiao Yibai's soul body was still fighting against the ghost hand from the Ten Halls of Hell King Array, attracted by the power of Shen Yue, and the ghost hand surrounded Mingxi, trying to pass through the soul in front of him and directly attack the people inside.
But this soul that carried almost all of his spiritual power was like an iron wall, and it didn't allow any ghost hand to take advantage of it.
Mingxi had already noticed the familiar figure intertwined with Gao Chengchuan, and his face was obviously relieved, Gongsun Yan had a chance to get close to him, and said in a low voice: "There are too many medicine people, they don't know how to be tired, and they don't feel pain, they must find someone to control them, otherwise if they continue to be consumed like this, I am afraid it will still be more auspicious." β
Mingxi's face was sad, his eyes had been staring nervously at the white soul in front of him, he had shown signs of dissipation many times, and he had forcibly condensed and formed several times by willpower, and he himself had disappeared so far, what accident had he encountered?
"Hey, Mingxi ......" Gongsun Yan lowered his voice and whispered in surprise, "My Dead Butterfly!"
"Huh?" Mingxi also looked up nervously, and sure enough, he saw a green butterfly flapping its wings and flying in.
"It's the one I left for the boat before!What's the matter, why did you come back at this time......" Gongsun Yan muttered hesitantly, reaching out to catch the butterfly, the green wings stretched out at his fingertips to form a familiar light mirror, and a somewhat unfamiliar figure appeared in it.
Who...... Gongsun Yan secretly pinched his sweat, and couldn't remember where he had seen this person for a while.
"Cen Ge, is that you?" Mingxi shuddered in disbelief, and the person in the mirror only noticed the two of them, showing a little surprise, and groaned, "No wonder he forced this thing to me, is it your usual contact?" β
Cen Ge...... Cen Ge!" Gongsun Yan reacted at this time, this person turned out to be Cen Ge, the great priest who was defeated by Xiao Qianye eight years ago and is still frozen in the mountain behind the White Sect!
He was puzzled, tilted his head and seriously thought about the reason, how could this guy take the butterfly that he gave to Jiang Stop?
"It's a long story, so I won't talk about it. Of course, Cen Ge also knew what was going on on the other side, and he said simply, "These soldiers have insect control skills, who did it?"
"Insect control technique......" Mingxi read silently, Xiao Yibai had told himself long before that his younger brother Xiao Qianye had a mysterious Gu ant on his body, which could control people's hearts, and it was extremely difficult to detect.
"The insect control technique is not too rare, but the difference between them is obvious, it is even listed as a forbidden technique in the White Sect, who did this, do you have any clues?"
Mingxi and Gongsun Yan glanced at each other with a tacit understanding, and sighed: "Most of them are Star Saintesses. β
"What does the Star Saint look like, I'll deal with her. Cen Ge naturally didn't know the so-called Star Saintess, but his expression was slightly irritable, no wonder Xiao Yibai and Chiqing had to trick themselves into coming to the imperial capital with all kinds of rhetoric, this was a good idea early in the morning, there were troubles that only he could solve!
"It's easy to recognize, she's disabled, half-bodyed, blind and unable to speak, and she carries a black cat with her, and she needs to rely on the black cat to guide her to move like an ordinary person, but ......" Mingxi hesitated, felt a little heavy, and sighed, "But, if you find her, please bring her to me alive." β
"Want to live?" Cen Ge looked at him coldly and reminded, "Do you know that it is impossible for the person who has been eroded by Gu ants to return to normal again, and these soldiers must all be removed, even so, you still want her to live?"
"Hmm...... I have my own reasons. Mingxi opened his mouth sternly without any explanation, "Please just do it." β
"Hmph, I'm not your subordinate. Cen Ge angrily smashed the light mirror, and the butterfly on the other side also folded its wings, Gongsun Yan stuck out his tongue in embarrassment, and whispered, "It's better not to make him angry at this time......
"I know. Mingxi muttered to himself, with an impenetrable emotion in his eyes, "But the eldest princess must live, about her father...... I have one more thing to ask. β
"Eldest princess!" Gongsun Yan's face changed in shock, the eldest princess in Mingxi's mouth could it be the eldest princess of Mingyu who was expelled after stealing Shen Yue many years ago?
The eldest princess not only did not die, but even turned into one of the three saints of the Star Palace, no wonder His Majesty always likes to rest alone in the Star Picking Tower, it turns out that this hateful person is his eldest sister Mingyu!
Gongsun Yan pouted, he didn't know what to say for a while, he wrenched his hands, and was a little worried - for His Majesty, the eldest brother Minglu had died in the thrilling seizure of power in the past, and the eldest sister was expelled from the prison after being beaten into the water prison by herself, and the remaining second sister, fifth brother, sixth brother and younger sister all got married early to take care of their lives, and generally no longer cared about any political affairs, even if it was the bipolar society at the peak of power, as a member of the royal family, it was just a formality.
Family affection, for the supreme emperor, has always been thin and ruthless.
And Mingxi has rarely interacted with several of his younger siblings since he was a child, and from now on, he will undoubtedly follow his father's old path.
