Chapter 177: The Beauty of Perfection
A small town about two miles behind the trap tower is where the Hu clan led by Ice Tears now settles.
After Li Mengluan found this place, she used the method of concealing her aura to sneak in, and her body was as fast as lightning, so that the people in the town could not even notice her existence.
After taking a turn in the town, Li Mengluan found that Ice Tears' subordinates just lived here as ordinary people, and there was no suspicious magic weapon in the town, and no dangerous traps were laid.
It seems that this is the case, the black tower is nothing more than Ice Tear's own stronghold, and all the valuable things are hidden in the bedroom that belongs to her, and this is only the residence of her subordinates, and it is normal that there are no mysteries. ”
In this way, Li Mengluan had a full understanding of the enemy's stronghold, and her keen intuition told her that the war between the Penglai Army and the Chongling Sect would end in a draw, and the next battle would revolve around the Black Tower.
This intuition was clear and reasonable, so Li Mengluan had to believe in herself, she decided to find a secluded place to concentrate on cultivation before Xuantian and Qingling and the others arrived at the Black Tower, and when the war was ignited again, she would secretly help them.
Li Mengluan and Xuantian have an incomparably wonderful telepathy between them, like twins, and when the other party is in crisis, an extremely obvious uneasiness will rise in their hearts. At this moment, Li Mengluan's heart was calm, which proved that Xuantian must be safe and sound, and she didn't need to help for the time being.
With Li Mengluan's current cultivation, she is sure that she can defeat the enemy commander Bing Tear within a few photos and directly lock in the victory for the Penglai Army.
Li Mengluan sneaked into the forest near the Black Tower alone to meditate and practice, leaving it alone for the time being.
However, it was said that Ice Tears rearranged the mechanism and the magic circle on the third floor of the mechanism tower, and between the busyness, several hours had passed.
The sun is setting in the west, and the sky is getting late.
Ice Tears didn't feel the passage of time at all, immersed in her own world.
After the final inspection, confirming that all the organs and magic circles he had arranged were in a state of normal operation, Bing Tear breathed a sigh of relief, with a sneer on his face, and said to himself: "In front of the great forbidden technique created by the ancestors of my White Fox clan, no matter how high the cultivation is, it seems insignificant. I will make you regret the decision you made, and the moment you entered this tower, you had pushed open the gates of hell, and it was destined to be a challenge that would never return. ”
After saying that, Bing Tears looked up to the sky and smiled, and there was an unbeatable arrogance in the laughter, as if he had seen the result of the failure of the three of Xuantian, Qingling and Ye Yichen.
Time flies, and the seven-day appointment comes in a flash.
Before Xuan, Qing, and Ye set off for the south of the island for an appointment, the king asked Ye Yichen if he needed to bring troops there, but Ye Yichen clearly denied it.
The three of them only took dozens of elite disciples of the Shangwu Hall and set off towards the southern part of Penglai Island.
On the way, Qing Ling suddenly asked an extremely sharp question: "Although Ice Tears swore that she would not interfere with our challenge, after the three of us entered the Organ Tower, it was very likely that she would lead the crowd to the Apocalypse King City, and it would be too late to catch us off guard, and the moment we got out of the tower, it was very likely to be too late." If this happens, have you two ever thought about how to deal with it?"
When Xuantian heard this, his brows immediately tightened, and he fell into deep thought, obviously he hadn't thought about this problem before.
But Ye Yichen's expression didn't seem to care, and he said lightly: "We just need to concentrate on completing the challenge, as for the hidden danger that Miss Qingling said, someone will help us deal with it." ”
"Who is it?Are there any other reclusive masters on this island?" Qingling asked suspiciously.
"Did you forget about her so quickly, and though she was separated from us, I'm sure she's still somewhere on the island. If Wang Cheng is in danger, she will definitely not sit idly by. ”
"Are you talking about Li Mengluan? But how do you know that she is still on the island? Maybe she has left Penglai because she has other important tasks. Although Qing Ling heard the characters mentioned by Ye Yichen, his doubts were still not lifted.
"There's only one reason I'm able to confirm she's still on the island, and that's responsibility. From what I know about her, Mengluan is a very responsible person, and since she has participated in this war, she will not quit halfway. No matter what happens, she will not leave, and whatever she carries on her shoulders, she will never take it off. ”
Ye Yichen's categorical tone made Qing Ling feel his unconditional trust in Li Mengluan, and in the few days he spent with Li Mengluan, he also felt her personality charm emanating from her whole body. If Li Mengluan left the island like this in this most chaotic period, it is indeed unbelievable.
"Since the night boy is so sure, then I am relieved. As long as Li Mengluan is still on this island, even if Ice Tears attacks the royal city on a large scale, it will only be in vain. Qing Ling also let go of his worries now and said with his head bowed.
Shangwu Hall, inside Qi Jian's room.
Qi Jian was staying in front of the bed at the moment, staring at Zhu Yan who had not yet woken up on the bed, and his heart was full of anxiety.
Since the end of the war in the Biluo Mountains, Qi Jian and Zhu Yan have been taken back to Shangwutang to recuperate. Zhu Yan was placed in a vacant guest room, where several female disciples took turns taking care of her.
Qi Jian woke up the night he returned, only to find his parents waiting in front of the bed. Soon after he woke up, he was reprimanded by his father, who, according to him, behaved like "treating war as a child's play and playing with his own life." Thinking about it carefully, it is true, there is nothing to refute, after all, as soon as he saw Zhu Yan at that time, he immediately lost his mind, left everything behind, and made a move that seemed extremely ridiculous in the eyes of everyone.
Although Qi Jian's mother repeatedly dissuaded her, Qi Yunfei still insisted on questioning the relationship between Qi Jian and Zhu Yan.
Qi Jian knew that he couldn't hide it now, so he told all the long experiences from the time he met Zhu Yan to the time he was injured by ice tears and fell in the snowfield.
He had lied to his parents that he had fallen on top of the snow because he had encountered wolves in the snowfield, and that he had been seriously injured after a struggle to eliminate them. Today, this lie sounds ridiculous.
Qi Yunfei's face didn't know whether he was happy or worried, but he didn't get angry after all, and he didn't continue to reprimand Qi Jian, he just asked: "In this way, there is nothing wrong with the Chongling Sect, these people are just a group of people who have betrayed the Chongling Sect?"
"That's right, this ice tear is the one who took Zhu Yan away and seriously injured me in the first place. She cast a spell at the time to change my memory of her
It's vague, but the moment I see her, I can still remember it. According to my guess, the reason why she wants to gain a large enough base is because she wants to expand her power as much as possible so that she can compete with the Cult of Souls in the future. ”
Qi Jian's serious tone let Qi Yunfei know that what he said must be true, so he sighed and said, "It seems that we have really wronged the Chongling Sect, fortunately, I didn't have the impulse to pass on the news that was unfavorable to the Chongling Sect to other sects, otherwise it would definitely make a big joke." ”
Qi Jian suddenly seemed to remember something at this time, and asked eagerly, "What was the result of the battle in the Biluo Mountain Range?"
Qi Yunfei responded: "The two sides did not decide the winner in the end, but decided to fight again in seven days, and the battle in seven days has nothing to do with you, you don't have to worry about it." And Zhu Yan seems to have successfully escaped the control of Bing Tears, if she hadn't stood up at the critical moment to hurt Bing Tears, the Penglai Army would have been defeated a long time ago. But Zhu Yan was also injured a lot, she passed out in a coma, fortunately she didn't have to worry about her life, now I will place her in the guest room to recuperate, and several of your senior sisters and sisters are taking turns to take care of her, any situation will be reported to me in time, you don't have to worry. ”
When Qi Jian heard that Zhu Yan was also injured, he couldn't help but be very worried, but thinking of Zhu Yan's physical fitness, he felt that his worry was a little redundant.
"Father, what do you think of the relationship between me and Xiao Yan? I had the idea of marrying her in Qingqiu Country at the beginning, if it wasn't for Xiao Yan's dissuasion, I might have made a big mistake. You can punish me however you want, but beg my father not to break us apart. ”
Qi Jian was bold to ask questions at first, but later it turned into a pleading, obviously he was afraid that the changes he experienced after being with Zhu Yan would make his parents disgusted with Zhu Yan.
Qi Yunfei smiled at his wife at this time, and then said earnestly: "The evil qi on your body was not deliberately passed on to you by Zhu Yan, and the calamity in Penglai did not come because of Zhu Yan, how can we not understand this? Zhu Yan is sincere to you, and we can also feel it from your words." She was the daughter of the head of the Cult of Souls, one of the most outstanding warlocks in the world, and was impeccable in both her background and character. If you want to, what reason do we have against it?"
When Qi Jian heard that his parents actually recognized his relationship with Zhu Yan, he was overjoyed and confirmed in disbelief: "Father, did you agree to let me be with Xiao Yan?"
"Of course, after you and Zhu Yan heal from their injuries, your mother and I will find an auspicious day for you to tie the knot forever, how about it?" Qi Yunfei said with a kind smile.
"Dad, mother, thank you. You are truly the best parents in the world. Qi Jian was so happy that his lips trembled slightly when he spoke.
"Before you get married, I have one thing to warn you. The lifespan of the White Fox Clan is more than 100 times that of our Terrans, and when you get along with Zhu Yan in the future, you must keep a normal mind at all times, and don't let selfish desires and attachments occupy your heart, otherwise it will definitely lead to an ominous ending. Do you understand the meaning of what I mean?" Qi Yunfei said earnestly.
Qi Jian bowed his head heavily and promised: "Father, don't worry, I have realized this when I found out that I was in love with Xiao Yan. All I could do was devote myself to her for the rest of my life, and I never thought about it after that, and I never think about it in the future. The true meaning of love is giving, never taking. ”
