Chapter 244: Time Retrospective
After Xuan Yu left the silver taels on the table, the two walked straight out of the teahouse and did not choose to say goodbye to the boss.
"Where are we going now?" Xuantian asked his "guide".
"Do you want to know what happened to this world after the invasion of the Demon Domain?" Xuan Yu suddenly changed his tone and asked seriously.
"Of course, and I also want to work with you to eradicate the forces of the Demon Domain. Xuantian said categorically.
Xuan Yu shook his head after hearing this, and sighed: "You only made such remarks because you don't know the strength of the Lord of the Demon Domain, I don't want to involve you in this disaster, I just want to find someone who can confide in you." ”
"What do you mean, have you already given in to him, and have you decided to give up resisting?" Xuantian asked in a deep voice with a serious face.
"Me"
Xuan Yu didn't seem to know how to answer this sharp question, and the atmosphere suddenly fell into an awkward silence.
"If this is your answer, then you are not worthy of being a disciple of the Three Qingmen, and you are not qualified to be a member of the Righteous Path Alliance. The sacrifices of those in the ancestral hall are going to be meaningless, you know?"
Xuantian's rebuke made Xuanyu's face flush, and he roared in a low voice: "I know better than anyone else, and I have tried many times. But the gap between cultivation and cultivation cannot be bridged by any faith, and those who have not fought with him will never understand that kind of pain. ”
Xuanyu's voice was not filled with anger or resentment, but from the depths of his soul.
Xuantian looked at Xuanyu's extremely painful expression, but he didn't know what to say.
Like Xuanyu's feelings, Xuantian himself has actually experienced it. Whether it is Li Mengluan or Qiu Ze, they have left a shadow in Xuantian's heart. But ever since he passed the trial of the illusion realm, that fear gradually faded from his heart, and he was never seen again.
After a moment of silence, Xuantian finally spoke.
"In fact, it doesn't matter how strong the enemy is, the most fearful thing is that he will retreat first because of lack of confidence. Anyone in this world can stand by and not provoke the Demon Domain, but you can't. You don't want to have regrets in your life. ”
After Xuantian finished saying this, he didn't want Xuanyu to bow deeply to him, and said in a pleading tone: "I am extremely confused now, and I ask Your Excellency to guide me through the maze." ”
Xuantian hurriedly helped him up and said, "You take me to a quiet place first, and we can sit down and have a good exchange." ”
"I'll take you to the Humble House now. ”
With that, Xuan Yu took Xuan Tian to his own residence in the town, and soon came to the front of a house that looked very simple.
Xuantian followed Xuanyu to the house, and sat down at the stone table in the courtyard under Xuanyu's guidance.
Xuan Yujing walked into the house, and after a while, he walked out of the house with two teacups in his left hand and a pot of tea in his right hand.
After setting up the teacups and teapots and pouring a cup of hot tea for Xuantian and himself, Xuanyu sat down and said to Xuantian: "I will tell Your Excellency the ins and outs of the Demon Invasion now." ”
"Very good. I'm trying to understand the state of the world right now, and I hope you can be as careful as possible. ”
Xuanyu nodded, cleared his throat, and began to tell the tragic past.
A year ago, Penglai Island, Shangwutang.
In the council hall, Xuan Yu, Li Yinmeng, Bing Ling, Ye Yixing, and Qi Yunxiao, the head of Shangwu Hall, were gathering together to celebrate the successful repulsion of the invaders from the "Chongling Sect", when suddenly a disciple hurriedly came in to report.
"Report to the master, just now came from the Chongling Sect urgent news, the Demon Domain army suddenly attacked, although the Chongling Sect resisted with all their might, but it was obviously not an opponent, and asked for support from all major sects. ”
Qi Yunxiao was shocked when he heard this, and hurriedly asked, "Do you know how the battle situation is on the Chongling Sect's side, can they still resist it?"
The disciple who sent the message shook his head and said, "After I got the news, I hurried back, not paying attention to the progress of the battle. ”
Qi Yunxiao bowed his head and said, "It's hard work." I will immediately send my disciples to help. ”
After the disciple who passed the message retreated, Qi Yunxiao couldn't help but look up to the sky and sigh.
"As soon as the chaos on Penglai Island subsided, the Demon Army suddenly attacked, which is really a disaster. ”
A wave has not settled, and another wave has risen.
Everyone in the chamber looked at each other, not knowing what to do.
In the end, it was Ye Yixing who stood up and expressed his opinion.
"I suggest that everyone split up. Li Yinmeng and I rushed to Qingqiu Country to support the Chongling Sect, and Xuanyu and Bingling stayed behind to guard Shangwutang, what do you think?"
Everyone thought for a moment and nodded in agreement.
Qi Yunxiao asked, "It's not appropriate for only the two of you to go to support, so you should bring some disciples over." ”
Ye Yixing shook his head and rejected Qi Yunxiao's proposal.
"Now that the situation is urgent, if you bring a disciple, you will definitely slow down the speed of your journey, please take back your life. ”
Qi Yunxiao also realized that his suggestion was inappropriate at this time, so he said: "You are right, I owe it to me." In that case, then the two of you will set off at once. ”
Ye Yixing and Li Yinmeng then said goodbye to Qi Yunxiao, left Shangwutang, and rushed to the Qingqiu Kingdom located in the Southern Ganbu Continent with the Sky Guarding Technique.
However, what they didn't expect was that the trip was stopped less than halfway through the trip due to a sudden change.
As soon as they entered the border of the Southern Ganbu Continent, they saw a terrifying scene from afar.
A crowd of black oppressors quickly approached in the direction where they were, and when they looked closely, they found that this crowd was lined up in a neat line, with the same pace, wearing inky black iron armor and holding various weapons, obviously a well-trained army. Looking at the scale, there are hundreds of thousands of people, mighty and magnificent, and there is no end in sight.
The army was on foot in the most basic way, and no soldier had mounts, but even so, the army was not slow at all. Everyone in the army is walking like flying, although they do not use any medium to increase their speed, but it is almost no less than the speed of Ye and Li in the sky, which is simply beyond common sense and incredible.
"This, could this be the army of the Demon Domain? shouldn't they be confronting the disciples of the Chongling Sect in the Qingqiu Country, how could they come here?"
Ye Yixing also had the same doubts as Li Yinmeng at this time, but he was as smart as he could know the truth of the matter with just a simple thought. But at the moment, he would rather he wasn't so smart.
"That's right, this is the Black Mist Army of the Demon Domain. Now that they're here, there's only one possibility. Ye Yixing's voice was extremely gloomy, and his expression was very serious.
"Could it be?"
Although Li Yinmeng is relatively dull
But he was by no means a stupid person, and he had already understood it at this time, and his face was full of disbelief and horror.
"It seems that the Black Mist Army has defeated the Chongling Sect, judging by the direction they are traveling, the next target should be Shangwutang. ”
"Brother Night, what should we do now?" asked Li Yinmeng anxiously.
"Now we have no choice but to go back and let everyone prepare for the war. ”
There was a hint of despair in Ye Yixing's eyes.
Li Yinmeng and Ye Yixing took advantage of the fact that the Demon Domain army had not noticed the two of them, and hurriedly turned around and returned to Shangwutang to report the news. But they didn't notice that the Demon Domain Commander, dressed in a black cloak, standing directly in front of the army, was looking in the direction they had left.
At this time, a Black Mist soldier behind the Demon Domain Commander spoke: "Report to the Demon Lord, someone has already discovered our whereabouts, do you want to stop them?"
The Demon Domain Commander, known as the "Demon Lord", smiled slightly, and said, "I found out a long time ago, but there is no need to stop it, they went back to report the news." ”
The soldier was obviously puzzled by the Demon Domain Commander's intentions, and asked, "If they are well prepared, wouldn't it be harmful to us?" ”
The Demon Domain Commander laughed, and his deep voice resounded through the four fields, and the echo was agitated.
"War is like a game for someone as strong as me. Since it's a game, it's naturally most fun to start when both parties involved are ready. It is obviously not appropriate to make the other side fight an unprepared battle, and it is in no way in accordance with my code of conduct, are you still afraid of them?"
"Of course not, I just feel like doing it will affect your plans. ”
The Demon Domain Commander shook his head and said in a deep voice, "There is no one in this world who can disrupt my plans, you don't have to worry. The rabble of the Chongling Sect was defeated too quickly to make me happy, and I hope that this group of disciples of Shangwutang will not disappoint me. ”
In the council hall of Shangwu Hall, Ye Yixing informed everyone of the news that the Black Mist Army had been overwhelmed, and the hall was suddenly in chaos, and panicked discussions came and went.
"Everyone, please be quiet. ”
Qi Yunxiao's face was particularly gloomy at this moment, and he said, "The Black Mist Army should have completely destroyed the forces of the Soul Worship Sect, otherwise it would never suddenly appear near Penglai." All the disciples of the Chongling Sect are the elite of the White Fox Clan, and they far surpass us mortals in terms of talent and cultivation. If they all end up defeated, no matter how much we resist, I am afraid that we will not have the slightest chance of victory. ”
Bingling, who usually rarely speaks, also expressed his opinion at this time.
"My master once told me that the cultivation of the disciples of the Chongling Sect is one of the best among the six major sects, and it is on a par with the Holy Yao Sect. Although my Sanqingmen has a very high prestige in the world, the qualifications of the disciples are uneven. Now that the Soul Cult has been defeated by the Black Mist Army, we alone have no ability to stop it. ”
Xuan Yu couldn't help but sink in his heart when he saw that his senior uncle had said such words that were extremely demoralizing, and hurriedly asked Ye Yixing: "Brother Ye is resourceful, I don't know if you have come up with any strategy to deal with the Black Mist Army?"
Facing Xuan Yu's anxious eyes, Ye Yixing let out a long sigh and said in an apologetic tone: "In the face of absolute strength, any strategy will have little effect. Please forgive me for being too shallow in my studies, and I really can't think of any way to solve the crisis. The only thing we can do now is to fight to the death against the Black Mist Army. As for the ending, it can only be left to fate. ”
