Chapter 135: Hand in Hand Invitation
Xiao Yibai noticed the movement and walked over and knocked lightly on the door, poked half of his head in, and breathed a long sigh of relief when he saw that she finally woke up, and hurriedly said: "How is it, but what is uncomfortable?"
"Like...... Something was missing, and his body was a little floating, as if he was about to fly. Yun Xiao replied weakly, Xiao Yibai hurriedly leaned over and reached out to touch his forehead, an imperceptible cold light flashed in his eyes - under the soaking of the ice bed and ice water, Yun Xiao's body temperature was still slightly hot, obviously pale, but his lips were red like blood, he quietly restrained his emotions, and instead laughed, "You are much stronger than me back then, but now you may feel a little light, after all, it is a lack of a soul and a spirit, just get used to it." β
"Hmm. Yun Xiao responded in a low voice, the corner of her eyes silently swept over the sword spirit in Xiao Qianye's hand, and the white soul on the crack could really communicate with her!
She was in a trance, the white soul that had detached from her body had gently embraced her in her arms in her dreams, and even promised her that she would always protect him.
"I'll go out first. Xiao Qianye hurriedly got out of the way, for fear that he would accidentally delay the needle extraction, he moved to the door worriedly, but his heart fluttered violently - he seemed to be more nervous than his eldest brother and A Xiao, and he didn't even dare to take a second look on such an occasion.
The light in the secret room was dim, Mingxi drank water, and seeing his dejected look, he simply stood up and moved a chair in front of him, comforting: "Sit down and rest, he didn't have the slightest softness when he divided his soul by himself......"
"...... back then" Xiao Qianye suddenly raised her eyes, was aroused by the other party's words, and blurted out, "Were you there back then?"
"Huh...... Of course. Mingxi casually handed him a cup of tea, his eyes were inexhaustibly bitter, he shook his head, and sighed, "I've been watching from the side, although he can't intervene at all, he is really a person who is extremely ruthless to himself, I still remember that at that time, he first used his spiritual power to conjure up a hand, and then controlled that hand to pierce the special silver needles into his body one by one, and into the ice under him." β
Mingxi smiled inexplicably, this kind of smile was a little helpless, there was a little fear in his eyes, and then muttered to himself: "The spell mark engraved on the ice bed is the soul splitting Dafa from the White Sect, no one has ever tried it or not, I asked him to find someone to try first, but he refused, he preferred to come himself." β
"He used to be a soft-hearted person who wouldn't hurt others easily. Mingxi added casually, his eyes scattered for a moment, "Pavilion Master Xiao, in your heart, what kind of person is Xiao Yibai?"
"If he wasn't my eldest brother, I would have died at his hands, there have been many people who were unfavorable to His Majesty, and they were secretly eradicated by the Wind Demon, right?" Xiao Qianye silently took a sip of tea, and blurted out the words without thinking about it, and there was a cold light in the gold and silver eyes.
Mingxi just smiled gently, and did not deny it - there were a total of twenty-eight extermination cases in the hands of the Wind Demon, and seventy-five high-ranking officials and celebrities in the four major realms were assassinated, and half of the "credit" was Xiao Yibai's.
He is really a person who has no feelings for the task, and he never asks the reason, just like Xiao Qianye is also indifferent to the orders of the high-level of the imperial capital after taking over the military pavilion.
Mingxi shook the tea in his hand, only to see the tea leaves rarely erect in the center of the cup, ups and downs, he was stunned for a moment as if he was a little distracted - not only their appearance, but the two brothers are still strikingly similar in their bones.
"What happened later?" Xiao Qianye suddenly interrupted his thoughts, pointed to the door, and lowered his voice, "What happened after he used the Soul Splitting Dafa on himself?"
"He was in a coma for three days. Mingxi paused, his voice also seemed very hesitant, and he kept turning the jade wrench finger in his hand, and his mood became a little worried, "According to his previous instructions, I chose this jade wrench with abundant spiritual power early in the morning, but the soul he separated has not been successfully attached to it, and it has been three full days...... That soul wandered in the secret room behind him for three whole days, and I saw him fall apart several times, and then inexplicably reassembled, and just like that, and the deity didn't react at all. β
"How come?" Xiao Qianye was slightly surprised, and couldn't wait to ask, "What then?"
"What should I do?" Mingxi smiled bitterly, continued to take a sip of tea, and sighed, "What can I do, I can't help him with anything, so I can only watch from the side, praying that the soul can be attached to itself, at that time I really hated myself for being useless, a naturally weak body, and was forbidden to learn martial arts since childhood, not only did I have to rely on my only friend to sacrifice his life to save him, but I didn't have any way to help him when he was in danger, like a helpless wasteman." Scold...... Pavilion Master Xiao, in fact, to this day, I can still feel this powerlessness, like a poisonous snake wrapped around my neck, making me unable to breathe. β
His face was gloomy, his eyes were slightly raised, his lips were pursed, and he squeezed the teacup in his hand hard.
Fortunately, that soul and spirit were finally successfully separated and entered this jade wrench. He breathed a sigh of relief, finally relaxed his nervous emotions, and smiled again in an instant, "When he woke up, he ordered the hand of the spiritual illusion to pull out the thousand silver needles from his body one by one, Lord Xiao Ge, did you say that kind of process was very painful? But why did he not make a sound at all from beginning to end, and even his expression was extremely calm, which made me feel that he was just doing a very ordinary thing." β
Xiao Qianye didn't speak, at this time he could already faintly perceive the breath of the deity from the soul of the Likong Sword, the sword spirit was suppressing the intense pain, and pretending to be calm in his palm exuded a serene luster.
"You are exactly like him back then. Mingxi secretly observed his words, saw him raise his eyes in confusion, and continued, "Do you also plan to face everything alone......?"
β......β
"Now you also make me feel that I am still the helpless wasted person back then. He sighed, drank the tea in his hand, looked at the empty cup and smiled helplessly, "At that time, I didn't have anything to do with him, I didn't know what he was thinking, and I didn't know what he was doing, but I just did what he said and I just did what he said, Lord Xiao, I don't want to be the same as back then, are you willing to give me this opportunity and trust me...... Fight with me?"
Xiao Qianye looked at him silently, only to see Mingxi as he did when he was in North Shore City, he tidied up his clothes, strode towards him with a solemn expression, and then stretched out his hand to make an invitation, but said the opposite of that time: "I hope this time, I can help you." β
Xiao Qianye looked at that hand coldly, slender and slender, like a jade carving, it was this hand that was as weak as a woman, turning the clouds and rain to turn the tide.
Not long ago in North Shore City, Mingxi, who was still the crown prince, seemed to have gentle eyes, and the invitation he said was a harsh invitation that he could not refuse at all, and now the emperor standing in front of him had a rare sincerity in his eyes, and the words he said were filled with expectation and pleading.
"It's dangerous. He didn't take the hand, and warned in an extremely stern tone, "The mental method of the Heavenly Realm cultivation is very special, only the things they create themselves can really hurt them! That's why the Night King and the Chen King will temporarily retreat due to the counterattack of the Ten Hall Yama Formation, but such things are rare, most people, including aliens, can't comprehend the Heavenly Realm's mental method, so they are the 'gods' to the Myriad Stream Island, because no one can really hurt them!"
"Such a thing...... Mingxi's eyes sparkled, and he sensed the most important key from his words in an instant, and said in a low voice, "There is indeed another such thing, it is centered on the array eye at the ruins of the Blood Formation Great Array, and the seals are scattered in the four realms, you were forced to promise the Night King to take him to find the ancient species in the depths of the array because of the night spell on Xiao Yibai's body, Xiao Pavilion Lord, this 'forced' should have another purpose, right?"
Xiao Qianye paused, a little surprised, but then he understood again, and smiled silently: "Your Majesty is a smart person, but the Night King is not a person who is easily deceived, I didn't want too many people to know about this matter, the more people who know, the lower the chance of success." β
"What are you going to do?" Mingxi asked calmly, not showing the slightest nervousness.
"I'm going to take the Night King to the Eye to find the ancient species that devoured him. Xiao Qianye paused word by word, looked directly at the emperor's stern eyes, and gritted his teeth, "I'm going to push him into the formation and exchange that ancient seed." β
"You ......" Mingxi was slightly stunned, his hands trembled rarely, and he couldn't believe it, "Array Eyes...... Can you really trap the Night King?"
"Yes. Xiao Qianye replied categorically, the gold and silver eyes flashed with a strange light, he put his hand on his heart, as if to confirm something, paused slightly for a long time, frowned and was silent for a long time, after a while, he put down his hand and replied seriously again, "The array eye can trap the Night King so that he can't get out, and the Night King's own divine power is enough to withstand the power of shattering, Your Majesty, if you want to fly the wall for a long time, eradicating the Night King is the best way!"
Mingxi looked awe-inspiring, and in an instant he understood why Xiao Qianye wanted to face all this alone.
There is no way back...... Once you fail, there is no way back!
The two glanced at each other, and tacitly looked down at the empty cup in their hands, and under Mingxi's seemingly calm face, emotions were surging violently.
Why is Xiao Qianye so sure? This kind of thing is unprecedented, and it will undoubtedly take a huge risk to try it, if he fails, Feiyuan will lose the power of the formation and completely shatter and sink into the sea! Is he really sure to deal with the Night King of the Heavenly Realm? The figure shrouded in the night, bringing endless darkness and fear, is an existence that mortals cannot touch at all, why would he make such a ridiculous decision, what is it......
Thinking of this, Mingxi's pupils shrank, his face turned pale, and he suddenly looked up at Xiao Qianye's special pair of gold and silver eyes as if he was in shockβit was another person, and the Heavenly Realm could only deal with the Heavenly Realm, and that person was undoubtedly the only one who could deal with the Night King!
Mingxi pursed his lips, and swallowed back the words that came to his mouth, and his eyes that lit up were dim in an instant.
Can that person be trusted...... The Heavenly Realm is his homeland, and the Night King is his fellow practitioner, so why should he betray his past for the sake of a flowing island that has long been separated from the sky?
Could it be that Xiao Qianye ...... Are there any other agreements with that person?
Mingxi's mind was full of thoughts, and he thought about thousands of possibilities in an instant, and his eyes were in a trance, like a confusing dream.
Xiao Qianye waited for the emperor's decision without saying a word, caressing the white sword spirit in his hand, the warmth of his soul was like a bright light guiding his way, making his heart feel at ease like a rock, and he would never waver in the slightest.
No matter what kind of decision you make, you have to stick to it...... Not only for the survival of Feiyuan, but also to save the beloved woman from her mortal fate.
"Hey......" After a long time, Mingxi let out a long sigh, as if he was exhausted for a moment, and finally shook his head and smiled indifferently, "I can't help you." β
"Huh?" Xiao Qianye looked at him hesitantly, obviously what he said seemed to be a refusal, but his eyes were surprisingly bright, with a ruthless murderous aura, and then said, "I help you, it will arouse the suspicion of the Night King." β
Xiao Qianye laughed, this person is worthy of being a man sitting on the throne, he really saw through everything at a glance.
"You are a member of the Heavenly Realm, so you should be a fellow practitioner of the Night King to help your deceased friend find his body. Ming Xi grinned weirdly, his light golden eyes were unique to the emperor, "I will explain everything at the Bipolar Meeting, and order the whole territory to stop you at all costs, Pavilion Lord Xiao, you have to work hard to live until the day you enter the formation eye, and now the whole territory of Feiyuan is not only human, but also more alien races." β
"Your Majesty is wise. He answered silently, but his heart was a lot more relaxed.
"But-" Mingxi turned his hand to pour himself tea again, and said with a smile, "But the Wind Demons can help you, they are already evil, aren't they?"
Xiao Qianye was not surprised, but secretly marveled in his heart that this person was thoughtful and could do everything.
"The Bipolar Meeting will be at the end of the month, and until then, you will still be my Pavilion Master. Mingxi added lightly, and a smile suddenly appeared on the corner of his mouth.
"Thank you. Xiao Qianye got up gently, strode in front of Mingxi, and stretched out his hand, "I hope this time can be as you wish." β
"Heh......" Mingxi blurted out a smile, helpless, but he still held the hand tightly, forcefully, and then said exactly the same thing in a low voice, "Thank you." β
