Chapter 400, Offerings
Sanssouci Valley.
"Boom~"
An earth-shattering bang rang out in the valley.
Seeing that a mountain peak turned into powder in front of him in an instant, Yan Ran, Heiwa, and Xiaoxian were all a little dumbfounded.
"Master, you just... What kind of means are you going to do?"
Heiwa asked, swallowing her saliva.
Just now he saw his master wave at the peak, and then a huge mountain disappeared, if it weren't for the newly unearthed flat land that was still dusty, he would have thought that there was nothing there.
For immortals, destroying a mountain peak is nothing, but it is a little difficult to make a huge mountain disappear cleanly, leaving no trace.
When the powder in the valley dissipates, outsiders will not know that there was once a huge mountain when they enter.
Yan Ran also looked at her hand a little stunned, she didn't do anything, she just tried the power of the runes she learned from the rule stone.
She didn't expect that the power of a rune would be so great.
After recovering from the shock, Yan Ran's heart was occupied by surprise and excitement.
Ever since she stepped on the Ancient Immortal Path, she had clearly realized the lack of her strength.
After arriving in the fairy world, she deeply realized the gap between herself and the immortals, and now, even a random earth immortal can kill her if she doesn't pay attention to it.
After being pursued by the Kun Kite and the Lotus Clan, as well as the encounter in the North Holy Palace, she couldn't wait to improve her strength.
But unfortunately, she couldn't sense the catastrophe for a long time, and she couldn't become an immortal. Because of the limitations of the realm, her strength could not increase significantly in a short period of time.
The runes on this rule stone are really like a timely rain for her now.
With the blessing of runes, her strength is bound to increase a lot.
In the future, in the face of immortals, she will be more calm and confident.
In the days that followed, Yan Ran became more obsessed with the study of the rule stone runes.
Under Yan Ran's research day after day, the rule stone became smaller little by little.
Looking at the regular stone, which was only the size of a grain of rice, Heiwa and Xiaoxian looked envious.
Xiao Xian sighed: "The runes on the rule stone are so powerful, why can't we feel it?"
Heiwa: "Do you think everyone is the master? The runes on the rule stone are naturally condensed according to the laws of heaven and earth, where is it so easy to understand." ”
Xiaoxian nodded: "Also, the music on the fairy has been in Sanssouci Valley for so long, but he has not been able to find the rule stone, and the master found it as soon as he came, it can be seen that the master's sense of the rules is unparalleled." ”
Speaking of the Leyin Immortal, Heiwa's brows furrowed: "I don't know where the Leyin Shangxian went? ”
"What do you know, it's because the music fairy is reluctant to part with his master. It's as if ... Xiaoxian pondered for a while, "It's like, one day I'm leaving, and you won't be reluctant." ”
Heiwa stiffened her neck and said with a nonchalant face: "No." ”
Xiao Xian frowned, and said with some annoyance: "Okay, then when I meet Heyun again, I will go back to the Xianhe clan with him." ”
Heiwa immediately became anxious: "That's not good, you said that you want to be with me and the master forever, and you are not allowed to leave." ”
Hearing this, Xiaoxian's face improved a lot: "Then why do you say that you won't be reluctant to let me leave?"
"I... ”
Heiwa glared at Xiaoxian and stopped talking with a sullen face.
He suddenly found that it seemed that he had been talking about Xiaoxian since he knew him.
And after the transformation, every time he quarrels with Xiaoxian, whether it is wrong or not, the master will teach him a lesson and let him let Xiaoxian.
He didn't understand, why did he have to let Xiaoxian, can't it be Xiaoxian who let him?
However, facts and experience have shown that the master still has a point.
If he really wants to say that Xiaoxian is in a hurry, Xiaoxian ignores him, and he feels uncomfortable.
Well, for the sake of her being a female, he doesn't care.
------
Little by little, time slipped by.
One day, Heiwa and Xiaoxian meditated and practiced in the valley as usual.
Suddenly, Heiwa fell to the ground abruptly.
"Poof~"
A mouthful of blood spurted out of Heiwa's mouth.
"Silly dog, what's wrong with you?"
Xiao Xian heard the movement, quickly came out of the cultivation, and when he opened his eyes, he saw that Heiwa's face was vomiting blood in pain, and her face suddenly lost color.
"Master, come on, something happened to Heiwa!"
Yan Ran, who was familiar with rune manipulation in the courtyard, heard Xiaoxian's call and immediately ran out. Seeing Xiaoxian holding the black baby who was constantly twitching with a anxious face, his face changed instantly.
"What's going on?"
Xiaoxian shook his head: "I don't know, just now I was cultivating with Heiwa, and he became like this all of a sudden." ”
Yan Ran immediately began to probe Heiwa's body, and noticed that the immortal qi in his body was rioting, and his blood and qi were surging violently, and his face became heavy.
"Heiwa is like this, as if someone forcibly interrupted her cultivation. ”
Cultivators' cultivation is prone to errors even if it is a slight interference, let alone forcibly interrupting their cultivation.
"Whew!"
The green lotus was condensed out by Yan Ran and quickly entered Heiwa's body.
After a while, Heiwa's complexion began to improve, and her body stopped twitching.
Xiaoxian looked worried: "Master, what's wrong with the stupid dog?"
Yan Ran frowned, looked out of the valley, and felt a little heavy.
Forcibly interrupting Heiwa's cultivation can only be done by those who have a contract with Heiwa.
This person is obviously not her anymore.
At this time, Heiwa came to her senses, and as soon as she opened her eyes, she said to Yan Ran in a panic: "Master, it's not good, the holy woman of the Northern Holy Land is here, I sensed her call." ”
Hearing this, Yan Ran's eyes sank.
What she feared most happened anyway.
From the moment she knew that Heiwa and the Holy Maiden of the Northern Holy Land were involved in a contract, she had a bad premonition.
But why did the Holy Maiden of the Northern Holy Land come here?
For the sake of the black baby?
Or is it for her?
Xiao Xian's face also changed greatly: "How come? Didn't the Le Yin Shangxian say that others can't find Sanssouci Valley?"
Yan Ran's eyes flashed slightly, ordinary people can't find it, but the Holy Maiden of the Northern Holy Land can sense the breath of the black baby through the power of the contract, and it is not difficult to find it.
Seeing that Heiwa and Xiaoxian were both panicked, Yan Ran patted Heiwa's shoulder and reassured: "Stabilize your breath first, don't think about anything else." ”
Sanssouci Valley has a natural magic circle, as well as a star array arranged by her, even if the Holy Maiden of the Northern Holy Land finds it, it is easy to enter the valley.
Although Heiwa panicked in her heart, she still began to stabilize her breath according to what Yan Ran said.
However, not long after it was underway, his cultivation was forcibly interrupted again.
This time, it hurt even more.
Seeing this, Yan Ran and Xiaoxian both had heavy faces.
Quickly injected the wooden lotus into the black baby's body, and Yan Ran asked him not to cultivate for the time being.
However, even if he didn't cultivate, something else would happen.
"Poof~"
"Heiwa!" the little fairy looked anxious and held the crumbling Heiwa.
Heiwa looked at Yan Ran with difficulty: "Master... The Holy Maiden of the Northern Holy Land is calling me out of the valley. ”
He didn't want to, so he was devoured.
Feeling the backlash in her body, Heiwa's eyes became red.
He was no stranger to this power, and he had deeply experienced it when the Sun Realm seal was loosened.
At this moment, the hatred that he buried deep in his heart and was unwilling to touch was also awakened with the emergence of the power of backlash.
The Holy Maiden of the Northern Holy Land...
Heiwa gritted her teeth and whispered the name in her heart.
It was she who caused the Tengu clan to be almost killed and injured.
Xiaoxian looked at Yan Ran with an anxious expression: "Master, what now?"
Yan Ran's face was solemn, and at this time, she had no good way to stabilize Heiwa's injury.
As long as the contract between Xiyuan Saintess and Heiwa is still there, Heiwa can't get rid of her control.
"Boom~"
At this moment, an earth-shattering noise was heard outside the valley.
Looking at the flickering spiritual light at the entrance of the valley, Yan Ran's eyes narrowed.
Someone was attacking the circle she had set up.
"Poof~"
Heiwa's backlash is getting heavier and heavier.
Seeing this, Yan Ran's brows twisted into a pimple.
If she continues to stay in Sanssouci Valley, Heiwa will not go out all the time, and she will be tortured to death by the power of backlash.
But if you go out, let's not say that Heiwa is unwilling, even if she goes out, there may not be any good results.
She didn't think that the Holy Maiden of the Northern Holy Land was here to collect spiritual pets.
Heiwa knew that she couldn't get rid of the Holy Maiden of the Northern Holy Land, so she looked at Yan Ran resolutely: "Master, you should leave Sanssouci Valley with Xiaoxian quickly." ”
Before Yan Ran could speak, Xiaoxian hurriedly denied: "Then how can it be done? Didn't you say before, we will be together forever." ”
Heiwa: "But with me, you will never be able to get rid of the Holy Maiden of the Northern Holy Land." ”
Yan Ran quickly thought for a while, and then looked at the second demon, "Let's go, let's leave together." ”
"But... ”
Heiwa wanted to say something, but was stopped by Yan Ran.
Yan Ran directly put the two demons into the Sumeru mustard seed space, and quickly left from the other exit of the valley.
It may be dangerous to leave the valley, but as long as you can get rid of the pursuit of the Xiyuan Holy Maiden, there is a glimmer of life.
------
Outside the Sanssouci Valley.
Seeing that the luster of the dog beast pattern on the fan in his hand was getting weaker and weaker, Xiyuan raised his hand to stop Lele's attack: "No need to attack, they have already left." ”
Lele immediately stopped and looked at Xi Yuan: "Are you still chasing?"
Xi Yuan: "Of course, and we must kill those mortals before Zikun and Zisheng." ”
Lele was a little speechless and stopped, and after muttering for a while, he couldn't help but ask the doubts in his heart: "Holy Maiden, Beihua Tianzun obviously attaches great importance to that mortal, we... ”
Before he finished speaking, Xi Yuan's sharp gaze swept over, and he asked in a deep voice, "Do you listen to me, or do you listen to Beihua Tianzun?"
Lele immediately bowed his head and said respectfully: "The purpose of my life is to protect the saint, so naturally I listen to the saint." ”
Xi Yuan's expression was a little better: "Since this is the case, just do as I say, that mortal must die." ”
As he spoke, he flew out first.
Seeing this, Lele immediately chased after him.
On the other side, Yan Ran rode the boundary leaf and quickly moved away from Sanssouci Valley.
However, she obviously underestimated the power of the contract between Xiyuan and Heiwa.
The power of this contract can survive from ancient times to the present, and it naturally has its extraordinary.
Even if Heiwa was received by Yan Ran in the Sumeru mustard seed space, the Xiyuan Holy Maiden could find the direction of Yan Ran's escape by virtue of the gloss of the fan dog beast pattern in her hand.
In the persevering pursuit of the Xiyuan Holy Maiden, in a hurry, Yan Ran, who was not familiar with the fairy world, rushed into the source of the Northern Holy Land-the Firmament Forest.
With the help of the dense towering giant trees, Yan Ran finally got rid of the pursuit of the Xiyuan Holy Maiden for the time being.
"How's it going?"
After releasing Heiwa and Xiaoxian out of the Sumeru space, Yan Ran immediately imported a wooden lotus into the body of the black baby with a pale face.
Heiwa shook her head: "Master, don't worry, I'm fine." ”
is different from the cheerful and lively in the past, and the black baby at this moment seems to be exceptionally silent.
Xiaoxian looked at him worriedly: "Silly dog, don't worry, the master will definitely take us to get rid of that Holy Maiden of the Northern Holy Land." ”
Hearing this, Heiwa raised her head and glanced at Yan Ran, who was meditating and cultivating on the side.
The continuous escape consumed a large amount of Yan Ran's spiritual energy, making her look very tired.
After a while, Heiwa looked at Xiaoxian: "Silly bird, if... I mean, if something happens to me, you have to protect your master. ”
Hearing this, Xiaoxian suddenly became anxious: "What nonsense are you talking about?"
Heiwa smiled and shook her head: "You have to remember what I said, all along, it was the master who protected us, and now, our realm is higher than the master, but we can't let her rush to the forefront in everything." ”
Xiaoxian: "I know this without you saying it, but you have to join me, otherwise, I don't know the bottom of my heart." ”
Heiwa grinned: "Of course, I will always be with you." "Until he falls.
Looking at such a black baby, Xiaoxian felt a little uneasy, but she didn't know how to explain it.
------
After a period of time, Yan Ran regained his aura.
Just as she was about to take the second demon away, she suddenly felt a palpitation.
Almost without thinking much about it, Yan Ran instinctively waved her arm and quickly pushed the second demon out, while she herself fell back to the other side.
As soon as they dodged, a fierce attack landed on where they had been.
"Boom!"
There was a deep crater in the ground.
When Yan Ran and the second demon stabilized their figures, they saw Xiyuan Holy Maiden and Lele standing not far away.
Still caught up!
Seeing the Xiyuan Holy Maiden, Heiwa stood up without hesitation: "I'll go with you and let my master and Xiaoxian go." ”
Xi Yuan looked at the resolute black baby, raised his eyebrows and smiled: "I spent so much energy to personally chase after me from the Northern Holy Palace, but it wasn't for you, an Earth Immortal Realm Demon Beast. ”
Hearing this, Yan Ran's eyes flashed, she looked at the Xiyuan Holy Maiden solemnly, and asked, "Are you here for me?"
Xi Yuan turned his head to look at Yan Ran: "Leyin has protected you very well, if it weren't for the power of contract in this black dog, I would still be looking for you everywhere like Zikun and those people." ”
Hearing that the other people in the Northern Holy Land were also looking for him, Yan Ran's heart suddenly beat violently, and he forcibly suppressed it for a while before he didn't show it on his face, "Why are you looking for me?"
Xiyuan pondered for a moment before saying, "For the sake of you and I not being able to choose our own fate, I'll tell you and let you be a ghost." ”
"Zikun, they are looking for you on the order of Beihua Tianzun to arrest you and return to the Northern Holy Palace; ”
Although she had a bad premonition when she saw the portrait of the ancient female saint in the forbidden land of the Northern Holy Palace before, but when she heard Xi Yuan's exact answer at this moment, Yan Ran's heart still sank violently: "Why?"
Xi Yuan didn't answer immediately, but was silent for a while, and then said something that shocked Yan Ran's spirit: "Because you can summon back the Ancient Female Saint." ”
As soon as these words came out, Yan Ran was stunned on the spot, and even Lele was shocked.
After a long while, Yan Ran found his voice again: "I don't understand what you mean. ”
Xi Yuan said quietly: "I thought that when you were in the forbidden land of the Northern Holy Palace, you should have known. ”
Yan Ran: "What should I know?"
Xiyuan: "Don't you think about why the temple door opens as soon as you arrive at the temple, and why the portrait hanging in the temple glows white at that time?"
Yan Ran's eyes widened: "Is the white light emitted by the portrait because of me?"
Xi Yuan: "Otherwise?"
"Why can I summon back the Ancient Female Saint?" Yan Ran's expression fluctuated greatly, and suddenly, everything in the mysterious space of Kunlun appeared in his mind, and he said with difficulty, "Just because I have the inheritance of the Female Saint?"
Xi Yuan: "There will never be a pie in the sky in this world, and there is nothing that is not earned for nothing, if you plant the cause, you have to repay the fruit." ”
Yan Ran looked angry: "But I didn't ask for this reason." ”
Xi Yuan quietly looked at Yan Ran, who was unacceptable, and did not speak.
She understands Yan Ran's mood at the moment.
When she knew that she was transformed by a drop of the essence blood of the female saint, it was also difficult to accept.
Yan Ran looked straight at Xi Yuan: "What price do I have to pay to summon the Ancient Female Saint?"
Xi Yuan's eyes flashed, and a trace of sympathy appeared on his face: "Blood sacrifice, deprivation of Dao fruit." ”
Bang!
These words were like a thunderbolt striking Yan Ran's head.
not only shocked her, but also shocked Heiwa, Xiaoxian, and Lele.
The Dao fruit is deprived, and the soul is destroyed.
"So, I'm a sacrifice?"
