Chapter 56: Dao Realm
A thousand miles to the south of Fengxi Mountain is a large wasteland, and there are not even scattered trees in it. If the weather is good, people can see far away in the wilderness.
A bronze chariot and a golden royal tent stood proudly in the middle of the wasteland, and no beast or man dared to approach it.
The tent and chariot were guarded by eighteen knights, all of whom led a pair of winged black horses. Those who are familiar with the history of the Western Wilderness and the Celestial Temple will know that the eighteen knights are the legendary holy knights of the Celestial Temple, but these holy knights have fallen into the attachment of the Hanging Mountain.
Each of them would appear on the temple's must-kill list, and now they all had a fitting name for themselves, the "Dark Knight".
The Dark Knight will bring darkness and turmoil, sweeping away all enemies in their eyes, and they no longer believe in the gods, but sacrifice everything they have to their current ruler, which is the Heavenly Pride of the Western Wilderness Demon Clan, Prince Xuantong.
Even if there is an existence like Qian Tangjun in this era, and there is a leader like the Demon Emperor who has supreme prestige in the demon clan, all the Western Wilderness Demon Clans believe that the future belongs to Prince Xuantong.
This point is deeply recognized by even the Heavenly Temple, the nemesis of Hanging Mountain.
In the Heavenly Temple's must-kill list, Prince Xuantong occupies the first row, of course, this is also the reason why the Celestial Temple knows that the Demon Emperor can't be killed, so it doesn't put it in the must-kill list.
However, no one will despise Prince Xuantong a little because of this incident, because Prince Xuantong is placed in the Heavenly Temple's must-kill list, and he is ranked first, which proves that the Heavenly Temple will always target him, ambushing and assassinating.
The killers sent by the Temple are all real dead men who can sacrifice everything in order to complete the mission. Moreover, these killers also possess the strength and talent that only powerful Qi Refiners possess, so a killer of this level may not be able to survive even if the target is twice as strong as the killer when he really wants to kill someone at all costs.
But Prince Xuantong has always been alive, and even the eighteen dark knights who are on the Heavenly Temple's must-kill list are also alive and well under the leadership of Prince Xuantong.
This, even more than any brilliant record, illustrates the terrifying nature of Prince Xuantong.
What's more, he once broke into the Temple of the Celestial God and came out alive with people.
At this moment, this young demon clan Tianjiao is sitting in the king's tent, he is still wearing Xuan armor all over his body, only revealing a pair of stunning demonic purple eyes.
In front of him was a beautiful woman who could make many people swoon with just a smile, but not including the Prince Xuantong in front of her.
There was no trace of waves in the purple pupils, and under the woman's feet was a six-pointed star the size of a three-foot circle, which was glowing with a strange and colorful brilliance, so that the woman could not get out of it.
The woman is none other than Izumo.
"You're going to let me go. Izumo snorted coldly.
Prince Xuantong said lightly: "I will take you back to the Hanging Mountain after capturing the phoenix." ”
Izumo said, "I don't want to go there. ”
Prince Xuantong groaned, "I don't want to force you either. ”
Izumo sneered, "Then you will let me go." ”
Prince Xuantong said, "No." ”
Izumo's expression softened suddenly, and he said softly, "Have you forgotten what happened when you were a child?" ”
When she is cold, she is like an iceberg that makes people dare not approach, but when she becomes gentle, it is softer than the spring breeze and spring rain, and people can't bear to refuse any of her requests from the bottom of their hearts.
Prince Xuantong's tone also softened, and he said: "Of course I remember, I was born very thin, and I was just an ordinary half-demon, fatherless and motherless, and was often bullied on the Hanging Mountain. At that time, only you could afford me, every time you came to the Hanging Mountain, you would always bring me some delicious food, and toys, you knew that you didn't like toys, so you found swords and spells, you knew that I wanted to become stronger, I wanted to be bullied. Even since you knew me, I have gradually become less and less bullied. ”
Izumo said quietly: "So you remember. ”
Prince Xuantong said: "How can I forget that when I was the weakest, you covered some of the wind and rain for me, otherwise there may not be today's Xuantong in the world." ”
Izumo said, "But I'd rather you always be the child you were back then." ”
Prince Xuantong said softly: "Whether it is a human or a demon, it will grow up." Do you remember when I broke into the Temple of Heaven five years ago?"
Izumo said: "Of course I remember, no matter how brilliant your record is, but so far, that experience is still the most commendable thing for you. ”
Prince Xuantong sighed softly and said, "You must also remember that I took a woman from inside. ”
Izumo smiled, "I do remember and was happy for you, thinking that you had finally found your loved one." ”
Prince Xuantong said: "I still remember that day was August 16, and the day before was the full moon, and during that time, it was also the time when osmanthus flowers bloomed at their peak, and I know that at this time of year you like to pick some osmanthus flowers and use them to make osmanthus wine."
Do you remember what you told me before, the water used to make osmanthus wine is best the water of the gods of the temple of the gods, you said that you drank the osmanthus wine brewed with the spring water of the gods once when you were very young, and since then you have liked the osmanthus wine, but the osmanthus wine you drank later is not as good as the osmanthus wine made with the spring water of the gods.
You told me once, and I remembered it. It just so happened that I was on a mission near the Temple of Heaven, and I saw the osmanthus in front of the Temple of Heaven again, so I remembered you. So I broke into the Temple of the Celestial Gods. ”
Izumo couldn't help but be stunned, and then said, "You actually went to the Celestial Temple for the sake of the Celestial Spring? I always thought it was the Demon Emperor's test of you." ”
Prince Xuantong smiled faintly and said, "Actually, seven years ago, the Demon Emperor had already put me to the last test. I did a good job, beyond his expectations, so he was already relieved to hand over the future of the Hanging Mountain to me. ”
Izumo has a mixed taste, she has always known that Prince Gentomi is very good, but his excellence still exceeds her expectations. And she took care of him when he was a child, only out of sympathy, and had no other thoughts. Even after Prince Xuantong began to emerge, they had little contact, and even if they met by chance, they were only a little better than passers-by, so she never felt that Prince Xuantong would have any special feelings for her.
She had no choice but to mention the past, but unexpectedly this allowed her to see the unknown side of Prince Xuantong.
Prince Xuantong continued: "Five years ago, my Heavenly Demon Dafa had already reached the Transformation Realm and quietly infiltrated the Heavenly God Temple, and no one found me until I took the Heavenly God Spring Water. But before I left the temple, I saw a woman who was about to be burned to death in the temple's rulings square, so I made the crazy decision to take her away, just because she looked a little like you. ”
Izumo sighed, "It turns out that I am so important in your heart, but I didn't think of it at all. ”
Prince Xuantong said: "Because you won't pay attention to me at all." ”
Izumo said: "What's the point of you saying this now? I can still feel that you won't let me go. ”
Prince Xuantong said: "Yes, I will not let you go, because you will be the demon queen of the Hanging Mountain." ”
Izumo frowned and said, "But I won't marry the Demon Emperor, you should know very well." ”
Prince Xuantong said: "I know the rules of the Dongyi clan, if you want to practice the most powerful witchcraft, you must guard yourself like jade, you often come to the Hanging Mountain not because you like it there, but because the Hanging Mountain and the Dongyi tribe have been friends for generations, and you have some secret methods that need to be practiced in the Hanging Mountain." Over the years, you have not only completed the witchcraft of the Dongyi clan, but also refined the demon mirror in the Hanging Mountain and stole the Purple Gold Bell, so there is no place for you to miss on the Hanging Mountain.
If it weren't for the fact that the Purple Golden Bell had a great symbolic meaning to the Hanging Mountain, I don't think the Demon Emperor would have sent someone to arrest you. Even the goods he sent out are not your opponents at all. He has a deep affection for you after all, and he never thought of hurting you. ”
Izumo said: "You came to arrest me this time, didn't you mean to be the Demon Emperor?"
Prince Xuantong said: "This is my own meaning. ”
"Why? You know that even the Demon Emperor doesn't plan to pursue me, and you still want to arrest me back?" Izumo was even more puzzled.
Prince Xuantong said indifferently: "Because I want to take you back." ”
Izumo said, "You're going to take me back to be a demon queen?" ”
Prince Xuantong said: "I know you think I'm crazy, but in fact I don't, with your cleverness, you should understand what I mean." ”
Izumo's body trembled, and he said, "You mean that he has only a few days left, and you will soon succeed the position of the Demon Emperor?"
Prince Xuantong said: "Not bad. ”
Izumo said: "How is it possible, he has at least a few hundred years to live." ”
Prince Xuantong said leisurely: "Because the test seven years ago was that he wanted to really fight with me, he thought that he could teach me a lot of things, indeed, during the whole fight that time, I had almost no power to fight back, until finally, I comprehended the Dao realm, which was my own Dao, and it was also a key step to enter the ranks of the truly peerless powerhouses." That kind of realm, only he, Qian Tangjun and a few people understand, by the way, there is one more Yanagi Daozhai recently, that is my favorite opponent so far, I have decided to duel with him on the day I inherit the throne of the Demon Emperor, that is, when I marry you. It must have been the most eye-catching battle in the mountains and seas in the past thousand years, and that day will always be unforgettable. ”
Izumo said coldly: "I don't think there will be the day you imagined, and besides, you hurt the Demon Emperor?"
Prince Xuantong fell silent and said, "To be exact, he deliberately injured me, and at that time, I had not yet been able to control the power of the Dao Realm, so he only had two choices, kill me, or be injured by me." ”
Izumo said, "For that alone, I will never forgive you." ”
"Why?"
"Because what she wears is not green, green is the color of forgiveness. Someone said leisurely.
The young man in white clothes who suddenly appeared in the king's tent for a month was Ji Xiao.
"You could have died later, but you have to come out now. Prince Xuantong didn't look surprised at all, as if he had already known about Ji Xiao's existence.
Ji Xiao walked to Izumo's side without hurrying.
Izumo said: "The joke you said is not funny at all, and besides, you should hurry up and get out." ”
Ji Yu clapped his hands and smiled: "I just told you a joke to relieve your mood, but you didn't appreciate it at all." ”
If Ji Xiao was so around, Prince Xuantong was not angry, because for him, Ji Xiao would be a dead man soon.
Izumo said angrily, "You go quickly." ”
She knew very well how terrible it was for Prince Xuantong to be able to hurt the Demon Emperor, and that was not something that Ji Yu could deal with at all.
Ji Xiao said: "I promised your niece to take you away, and I have always done what I said." ”
Prince Xuantong said: "I know you have some ability, you were spying on me before, but with your ability, if you want to take her away in front of me, I'm afraid it won't be enough to take your life." ”
Ji Xiao smiled and groaned: "Then I'll try my life." ”
He snapped his fingers and spat out a word: "Burst." ”
