Chapter 218: Time
Hearing Qin Yan mention the book, a strange look flashed in Xiao Xiang's eyes, and he glanced at him quite complicatedly, and replied: "Qingwei Ju is worthy of being the head of the five major sects of the righteous path, and the mystery of his swordsmanship is far beyond the imagination of ordinary people. After practicing for a while, I feel that I have benefited a lot, and my swordsmanship has improved by leaps and bounds, even against some mid-level demons in the hell, I have the power to fight. ”
"Haha, little junior sister, you have made such progress, senior brother, I am also very relieved. Let's have a discussion and I'll see how much you've improved!"
"Don't!" Xiaoxiang hurriedly stepped back, "I'm not your opponent...... As soon as she turned her head, she saw a flower in front of her, Qin Yan had appeared behind her, and said with a smile: "Don't be nervous, it's just a discussion, not hurting you." ”
"No! you're sure you will again...... It's going to take advantage of me again. After Xiaoxiang said this, his face was even more red and almost dripping. She raised her eyes, saw Qin Yan's smiling expression, and said nervously: "Senior brother, don't be like this, by the way, Senior Sister Gong, they are all worried about you, the qualification rankings for the chief battle have been listed, but you have not appeared......"
"The qualification ranking for the chief battle has already come out?" Qin Yan's eyes froze, and he lost his thoughts of teasing, and asked in surprise, "Isn't there still twenty days, why is it so long in advance?"
Xiaoxiang saw that his face was grim, not like a joke, and said: "Today, today is the sixth day of the 11th month of the year of Guihai......
Qin Yan's heart burst into flames, he could barely suppress the emotions in his heart, and his face showed an extremely shocked look.
On the sixth day of November, more than a month had passed since the day he entered the icy hell. Although he went through many hardships, it took him about four or five days from the time he entered the Ice and Snow Hell to the time he killed the Ice and Snow Empress, but when he came back, he walked for seven or eight days because of the twists and turns of the road. So, where did the other 20-odd days go? Is the time in the ice, fire and hell really different from the world, the so-called one day in heaven and one year underground?
No, it suddenly occurred to him that there were two times when the time spent meditating was not counted. In particular, the second meditation that killed the Ice and Snow Queen restored the entire mentally exhausted body to its heyday, and even transformed all his spiritual power into ice attributes, could it be that this was the root cause of his missed more than 20 days?
However, after so many days of not drinking or eating, Young Master Ben has not felt a little hungry, has it really been more than a month? Or is it that due to the progress of his cultivation, Young Master Ben has finally reached the realm of Bigu, and from now on, he will no longer have to eat the grains of the world?
Thinking of the changes in his body that were becoming more and more detached from the human realm, Qin Yan began to believe that he had probably indeed cleared the valley, and that more than thirty days had indeed passed since he went to the Ice and Fire Hell. In other words, I have probably missed the opening of the battle for the chief and lost the qualification to compete for the next chief throne!
After five years of sleepless cultivation, he only got a dream bubble......
The deep and angry emotions in his heart rolled in his chest like boiling oil droplets, but the expression on his face became more and more calm, and he looked at Xiaoxiang with a strange deep color, and said softly: "What did the door master say about my disappearance?"
Although Xiao Xiang didn't see the deep color in his eyes, he could also feel the sadness and anger under his calm face, and replied crisply and smoothly: "You don't have to worry, the sect master said, since you are the current chief disciple, you don't need to participate in the previous tests and battles at all, and you are directly qualified to enter the finals." After we, the ordinary disciples, decide the winner, and then the strongest person who has won will challenge you, and the one who wins will be the next chief ......."
'I see!' Qin Yan breathed a sigh of relief, only to feel that his almost boiling blood had returned to calm. It seems that the Blood Wolf Monk really values himself, and as soon as Chrysostom opens, he saves himself from so many cumbersome competition processes. Of course, maybe there was such a rule in the past, but none of the previous chiefs could be re-elected safely, which is why Young Master Ben has been worried for so long......
After learning the good news, he was relieved, and a bright smile appeared on his face: "Senior Sister Xiaoxiang, thank you so much." Can you tell me how they're playing now?"
Xiaoxiang nodded, and said: "Now there are twenty-seven people who are qualified to continue the competition, and the previous powerful characters have basically stayed, and there are a few junior disciples who have also performed very prominently, but I think the most powerful is Senior Brother Yanyu, Senior Brother Cheng Gang and Ge Xinglie, especially Ge Xinglie, for the time being, no one has been able to go through ten moves under his sword, and no one has survived under his sword, and even Senior Brother Ye Ying ...... yesterday" When she said this, she gradually choked up, and her beautiful big eyes were full of sadness. The look of fear and confusion was covered with a layer of mist, which was extremely pitiful.
"It turns out that there was a dog-eat-dog show just yesterday, it's really happy!" A smile escaped from the corner of Qin Yan's lips, and he was restrained again in an instant. Seeing Xiaoxiang so sad, he coughed lightly, squeezed out a little pain, and raised his hand to pat her shoulder: "Senior Sister Xiaoxiang, people can't be resurrected after death, you have to mourn ......"
But seeing Xiao Xiang shrink back like a frightened rabbit, avoiding his palm, he said coldly: "Chief Senior Brother, please respect yourself." She looked up and glared angrily, but tears flowed down her cheeks. is not only sad for Ye Ying, but also sentimental for his helpless fate. At this moment, her soft but stubborn smile came into Qin Yan's eyes, which made his long-lost heart twitch fiercely, and there was such a stunning demeanor in her eyes.
Qin Yan's hand froze in mid-air, allowing Xiaoxiang to escape. With his skills, he should have been able to easily take Xiaoxiang into his arms, but at this time, he couldn't help but hesitate in his heart, and asked himself in confusion: Such a fragrant white lotus that comes out of the mud and is not stained, if it is destroyed in his hands one day, is it too cruel?
Even if it is really dark and boundless, probably, it should retain a little rare beauty!
He lowered his hand, and under Xiaoxiang's tearful gaze, he rarely felt a trace of embarrassment, and said curtly: "Don't get me wrong, I just want to comfort you." The inner struggle became more intense than ever, and a solemn and solemn voice shouted: Let her go, she is just an innocent girl, and she should not be allowed to suffer such a cruel fate. As soon as his faith was shaken, the devil's whisper sounded in his ears: Do you regret it? Do you admit that what you did was wrong? It seems that you want to fight Dugusheng with your own strength? Do you know what price you will pay for a moment of soft-heartedness? Save it, what you can't have, why let others have it! Since you chose that path, there is no turning back......
