Intentionally or unintentionally, Xie Lian took a step forward,
Blocking in front of San Lang,
"I know better than anyone else what kind of status I have."
Fu Yao said, "Then why do you still dare to stand next to him?"
Xie Lian honestly said, "Because … … standing next to him, no snakes will come and bite."
"… …"
Hearing this answer, San Lang burst out laughing. Fu Yao's face turned even greener as he said, "You … …"
His face turned green,
His face suddenly turned pure black. Not only his face,
Xie Lian's entire vision turned pure black.
As it turned out,
The flame barrier that Fu Yao had just cast, as well as the flames he had released at the bottom of the pit,
Suddenly,
All of them were extinguished!
In the darkness, Xie Lian heard San Lang laugh out loud.
"Trash!" Then, he felt San Lang grab his shoulder. Immediately,
Xie Lian heard a rapid and intense "peng peng" sound from above the two of them, as if a torrential rainstorm was hitting the surface of an umbrella.
Needless to say,
It must be that the purple rain of snakes had lost the barrier blocking them and were frantically falling down. And with an umbrella above them,
It completely blocked the rain of snakes!
Xie Lian smelled an extremely strong scent of blood and was about to move,
San Lang said, "Don't move. No blind thing would dare come over. "
His tone was firm.
The first sentence was low and gentle, but the second sentence carried a bit of arrogance. Xie Lian wasn't worried at first, but when he heard Fu Yao's angry shout,
It seemed that he had been drenched by the rain of snakes, he said, "San Lang!"
San Lang immediately said, "Don't."
Xie Lian didn't know whether to laugh or cry. "How do you know what I'm going to say?"
San Lang said, "You can rest assured. He won't die. "
At this moment, a roar came from the side of the two of them. "Half-moon! If they want me to die, then hurry up and let them bite me to their heart's content. What's going on? "
Half-moon said, "It wasn't me!" Presumably, the grinder had been smashed awake and found himself immersed in countless slippery streams of snakes. He was certain that it was Half-moon's doing. Xie Lian said, "Fu Yao, can you still light a fire? Light another fire! "
Fu Yao gritted his teeth and said, "That thing beside you is suppressing my magic and not letting me ignite it!"
Xie Lian's heart sank, but San Lang said, "I didn't."
Xie Lian replied, "I know you didn't, but it's precisely because you didn't. Half-moon and Carve Mo are locked by Kun and can't cast spells. I've used up all my power, and you didn't suppress him. Doesn't it mean that there is a sixth person in the pit?! "
Fu Yao said, "You must have been possessed! How could there be a sixth person? No one came down from above! "
At this time, Half-moon said: "Who?!"
Xie Lian asked, "Ban Yue, what's wrong? Did someone go to your place? "
Half-moon said, "There's someone …" Before she could finish, her voice disappeared. Xie Lian asked again, "Half a month?!"
Fu Yao was still engaged in a chaotic battle with the group of snakes. A short burst of white light exploded wave after wave in the pitch-black darkness. He said, "Be careful, she's trying to lure you closer!"
Xie Lian replied, "Not necessarily. Save her first! "As he said this, he was about to rush into the rain of snakes when he heard San Lang say in his ear," Okay! "
Xie Lian only felt a hand wrap around his shoulder, and in an instant, he flew out. He suddenly realized that this youngster was actually holding an umbrella with one hand and holding him with the other as he advanced to attack. In the darkness, silver light flashed, and clanging sounds could be heard. Suddenly, the ear-piercing sound of swords clashing cut through everyone's ears. "Oh?" San Lang said, "So there really is a sixth person. Interesting. "
Xie Lian didn't know how or what weapon he was controlling, but at this very moment, the weapon he was controlling was indeed clashing head-on with someone!
The other party didn't say a word, but Xie Lian heard the sound of a sharp sword cutting through the wind. From time to time, dazzling sparks lit up in the darkness, but they were all fleeting, not enough to illuminate the other party's face. Xie Lian listened carefully to the battle situation as he raised his voice and said, "Ban Yue, are you still awake? Can you reply? "
No one answered. Fu Yao said, "Maybe the person you're fighting is her!"
Xie Lian said, "No, this definitely isn't Ban Yue!"
They were both fighting in the darkness. When they were fighting, San Lang was relaxed, as if he was toying with the other party. This time, however, he was slightly more serious. The other party's martial strength was outstanding, and he could use weapons with ease. On the other hand, Ban Yue had a petite figure. Just by looking at her arms, one could tell that strength and weapons weren't her forte. Thus, it definitely wasn't her. But who was this sixth person? And when did he appear?!
Fu Yao said, "This kind of person who betrays their own country is no different from the female ghost Xuan Ji. Why do you still believe her?"
Xie Lian said, "Fu Yao, can you not be so impatient all of a sudden? You … … wait, what did you just say? "
Fu Yao once again sent several scorpion snakes flying with a palm strike. He said, "I say, why do you trust her so much? Just like how you trust that thing next to you! "
Xie Lian said, "No, I'm not talking about that sentence — — you're talking about Xuan Ji. You mentioned Xuan Ji, didn't you?! "
"So what if I did?! It doesn't matter at all! "
Xie Lian held his breath. After a moment, he said, "Stop! There's no need to hide anymore. I already know who you are! "
The sound of swords clashing didn't stop. The other party was indifferent. Xie Lian wasn't anxious either. He said, "Do you think I'm tricking you when I say I already know who you are? Little General Pei? "
·
Fu Yao was stunned. "Who are you talking to? Little General Pei? Don't tell me you've gone crazy. What kind of status does Little General Pei have? Once he comes down, who wouldn't know? "
Xie Lian said, "You're right. However, what if he didn't personally come down? "
In the darkness, the sound of swords clashing paused for a moment before continuing.
Xie Lian said, "I discovered it already very late. In fact, I should have thought of it from the start.
"I know that for nearly two hundred years, something has been constantly causing trouble in Ban Yue Pass. However, no Heavenly Official has ever paid attention to it. Everyone is also unwilling to bring it up. This means that there's definitely someone who no one dares to offend who's suppressing this matter. However, because I'm not familiar with all the Heavenly Officials in the Heavenly Court, I didn't dare to make wild guesses. In the end, I didn't boldly guess which Heavenly Official it was. "
It was only when Fu Yao mentioned the female ghost Xuan Ji that he reminded him.
When the female ghost Xuan Ji was mentioned, it was hard not to think of the two generals of the Pei clan. The North was the territory of the two Pei Generals, and Fu Yao had once casually mentioned that before Little General Pei ascended, he had done one thing: massacre a city.
What city did he massacre?
It was extremely likely that it was the ancient city of Ban Yue Country!
This kind of matter wasn't strange to the Heavenly Court's Heavenly Officials. After all, who wouldn't shed some blood in order to succeed? However, massacring a city wasn't something particularly glorious. If news of it spread too far, it would inevitably affect the recruitment of new believers. Therefore, after ascending, it was often necessary to cover up and whitewash it. Therefore, although everyone knew of this matter, they didn't investigate it in detail. After all, if there wasn't some deep hatred or malicious intent, who would want to dig up someone else's past and offend their backer?
Xie Lian slowly said, "That Buried Face said that among our group, there's someone who's been here for fifty or sixty years. I originally suspected that he was lying in order to lure others closer, but it's also very likely to be true.
"Previously, among this group of people, I was most suspicious of you. The caravan followed you, and you could take them anywhere you wanted. I've lived in Ban Yue Country for a few years, but I've never seen a scorpion. But you just randomly found a place to hide from the wind and sand, and you just happened to encounter this rare poisonous creature.
"I let you go with us to find the Good Moon Grass. Before we left, you specifically pointed the way to Ban Yue Ancient City so that the others who couldn't wait for us could go on their own. Just now at the sinner pit, I clearly said that if there's something, I'll go first, but you, who's always calm, suddenly jumped in, meaninglessly sending yourself to death."
After a pause, he said, "Your behavior is so strange and unreasonable, but I only found out who you are now. It's really too late, isn't it? Little General Pei, or I should call you by your current name — Ah Zhao! "
Suddenly, there was a dead silence.
After a long while, finally, a cold voice said, "Have you ever thought that maybe that Buried Face was talking about the red-clothed youth beside you?"
As soon as the voice fell, a flame suddenly lit up at the bottom of the sinner pit. Under the light, two blood-colored figures were facing each other.
One was the red-clothed San Lang, who had already put away his weapon and was standing calmly. The other was a plain-clothed youth, who still had a sword in front of him, not letting go.
Because this plain-clothed youth was covered in blood, it looked like he was also wearing a red robe. His face was cold, and he was carrying a person on his shoulder. Sure enough, it was that young man Ah Zhao.
Actually, whether it was Little General Pei's true self or Ah Zhao's, the calm and unperturbed expression on their faces had never changed. It was just that Xie Lian had never thought in that direction, so he hadn't connected the two together.
The person he was carrying on his shoulder was Half-moon. He released the snakes to take advantage of the chaos to take away Half-moon, but since his identity had been exposed, there was no need to create chaos. The surrounding snakes and the rain of snakes stopped wreaking havoc. He put away his sword with one hand, and put down Half-moon with the other. Beside him, Ke Mo said in surprise, "Who are you? Didn't you fall to your death? "
Ah Zhao didn't spare a glance at Ke Mo, still staring at San Lang. Using Half-moon's language, he said, "Ke Mo, you really haven't changed in hundreds of years."
Perhaps it was because this infuriatingly calm tone was too familiar, but when Ke Mo heard it, his dark face instantly surged with anger. "… … It's you!!! Pei Su?! "
If it weren't for the Immortal Binding Rope firmly binding him, he probably would've already rushed over to fight.
Xie Lian said, "Little General Pei, the scorpion-tailed snakes don't listen to one person's orders. Those disobedient scorpion-tailed snakes that Half-moon said went out to bite people, they were all controlled by you, right? "
Pei Su recognized it happily. "Yes. It's me. "
Xie Lian said, "Half-moon taught you how to control the scorpion-tailed snakes?"
Pei Su said, "She didn't. But I can learn how to control them myself. "
Xie Lian said, "After all, Little General Pei is more intelligent than others."
Pausing, he asked again, "When did you two meet? And how did you two meet? "
Pei Su looked at him and said, "General Hua."
Xie Lian was baffled. "Why do you call me that?"
Pei Su calmly said, "Don't you recognize me, General Hua?"
"… …"
Xie Lian remembered.
He vaguely remembered that when Half-moon was a child, she was ostracized by the other Half-moon children. Only a youth from Yong An would occasionally pay attention to her. That youth was similar to Half-moon and didn't like to talk much. Many of the children at the border were children of the army stationed at the border. When they grew up, most of them would also join the army. Could it be … …
Xie Lian said, "It's you?! I, actually just recognized you. "
Pei Su nodded and said, "It's me. I also just recognized you, General. "
No wonder. So it turned out that Half-moon and the enemy commander had known each other for a long time!
Xie Lian said, "Did you really order Half-moon to open the city gates?"
On the other side, Ke Mo spat and said, "Untie the ropes. Let me fight this despicable Pei Su to the death!"
Pei Su coldly said, "First, we already fought to the death two hundred years ago. You already lost. Second, dare I ask how this Pei is despicable?"
Ke Mo said, "If it weren't for the two of you colluding with each other, how could we have lost?!"
Pei Su said, "Ke Mo, don't deny it. At that time, although I only brought two thousand people, breaking through the city gates was only a matter of time. "
Xie Lian couldn't help but say, "Wait, you only had two thousand people under your command, yet you were sent to attack a country? What's wrong with you? Aren't you just sending yourself to death? Could it be that you're even more ostracized than me in the army?? "
"… …"
Pei Su didn't say anything. It seemed like he was right. Xie Lian continued, "Since you already won, why did you need Half-moon to open the city gates?"
Pei Su said, "Because I want to massacre the city."
Xie Lian said, "What do you mean? Since you're already going to win, why must you massacre the city? "It couldn't be some hobby!
Pei Su said, "It's precisely because we're about to win that we have to massacre the city. And we have to do it as soon as possible. Leave not a single person alive. "
That phrase "leave not a single person alive" sounded awe-inspiring. Xie Lian asked, "What's the reason?"
Pei Su said, "The night before we attacked the city, many of the leaders of the Half-moon people gathered together and held a meeting. They secretly agreed on one thing."
"What is it?"
Pei Su said, "The Half-moon people are naturally violent and they hate Yong An Country. Even if they knew they were about to lose, they still refused to admit it. All the people in the Half-moon Country, regardless of age or gender, were prepared to make a batch of things as soon as possible. "
Xie Lian had already faintly guessed what it was. And the two words that Pei Su spat out were indeed what he was thinking in his heart.
"Explosives!"
Pei Su said word by word, "They planned that if the city was defeated, they would have the citizens hide these explosives on them. Then, they would immediately scatter and flee to Yong An Country. Then, they would mix in with the crowd and wait for an opportunity to attack. Even if they died, they would drag more of Yong An Country's citizens down with them. Even if their country perished, they would make sure that the country that perished would not have peace. "
Therefore, they had to take advantage of the fact that the citizens didn't have the time to escape and exterminate them in one fell swoop … …
Xie Lian immediately turned to Ke Mo and asked, "Is this true?"
Ke Mo had no intention of hiding it and said, "Yes!"
Hearing this, San Lang raised an eyebrow and said, "Vicious. Vicious."
He said this in the Half-moon language. Ke Mo angrily said, "Vicious? What right do you have to say that we are vicious? If you did not attack us first, we would not have been forced to this stage. You destroyed us, so we will retaliate against you. What's wrong with that? "
Pei Su said, "If that is the case, why don't we start from the beginning? How many times did the Half-moon people cause trouble at the borders? How many merchants and travelers from Yong An Country that were heading to the Western Region were intercepted by the Half-moon Country? You know that there are horse bandits in your country that specialize in robbing and massacring Yong An citizens. Yet, you purposely protected them. The soldiers that Yong An Country sent to encircle the bandits were killed by you for trespassing. Isn't this vicious? "
Although he did not speak quickly and his tone was not agitated, every word sounded sharp. Ke Mo said, "But that was because you forcibly occupied our country first. Only then did we retaliate."
Pei Su said, "The border between the two countries has always been ambiguous. How can it be considered forcibly occupying it?"
Ke Mo said, "The two sides have long divided their territories. It was you who did not keep your promise!"
Pei Su said, "Only your side recognizes the division. When has Yong An ever recognized it? Your so-called division is nothing more than the desert belonging to us and the oasis belonging to you. Isn't that ridiculous? "
Ke Mo angrily said, "The oasis was originally ours. The ancestors of the Half-moon people lived on the oasis for generations! "
Both sides stuck to their own arguments. Just listening to them tear each other apart like this gave Xie Lian a headache. Thinking of the days two hundred years ago when he was beaten black and blue, his face seemed to faintly ache again. Pei Su no longer paid attention to Ke Mo and said to Xie Lian, "So, you see. There are many things in this world that cannot be argued clearly. We can only fight. "
Xie Lian said, "I agree with the first sentence."
San Lang said, "I agree with the second sentence."
Ke Mo's anger slightly subsided. He suddenly said, "Most of the people from Yong An are shameless, but you are the most shameless person I have ever seen. Pei Su, you are a cold person. You didn't kill us for the sake of your country, nor did you kill us to save your people. "
Hearing this, Pei Su became silent.
Ke Mo continued, "You are the son of an exiled person. Everyone looks down on you. You only wanted to gain a foothold in the Yong An army and climb up, so you had to win this battle. The sad thing is that Half-moon thought you were very good and was used by you because people like you sold us out. "
Xie Lian said, "But isn't Little General Pei a descendant of General Pei?" With this famous ancestor looking after him, he shouldn't have fallen to such a state, right?
San Lang said, "He isn't a direct descendant of General Pei. He is a branch of who knows how many other branches."
So it was like this. It meant that if he hadn't ascended, he probably wouldn't have had the opportunity to receive the protection of his ancestor.
Pei Su faintly said, "Half-moon was originally my subordinate. She only received my orders to hide in the Half-moon Country. She is a Half-moon person, but also a Yong An person. After choosing one side, she was loyal to the other. There was no betrayal. Half-moon people have ulterior motives. I will kill them without regrets. "
Suddenly, a voice rang out from above, "What a good 'kill without regrets'! Then do you dare to say 'no regrets' to the people who have been lured into this pit by you for so many years and lost their lives? "
·
That voice came from above everyone's heads. Xie Lian immediately looked up and asked, "Which expert is here?"
There was no answer. Instead, a strange sound rang out. Whoosh whoosh whoosh whoosh, as if a gale was howling. When the sound came closer, Xie Lian finally confirmed — — this was indeed the sound of a gale howling!
This gale came too suddenly, too fiercely. Before Xie Lian could figure out what was going on, his body had already tilted and his entire body floated up!
This sudden gale poured into the bottom of the sinner's pit from above, unexpectedly sweeping everyone up into the sky!
Xie Lian immediately grabbed San Lang, who was closest to him, and said, "Be careful!"
San Lang also grabbed him, his expression unchanging. Xie Lian only felt the world spin as his body rapidly rose into the sky. After a pause, he suddenly began to fall. He hurriedly tossed Ruo Xie out, coaxing, "Alright, alright, everything's fine now. Hurry, Ruo Xie, come out and save us!"
After touching twice, Ruo Xie finally flew out. However, his surroundings were completely empty and bare. Aside from the enormous sinner's pit, he couldn't find anything else he could grab onto. Ruo Xie came out and flew in a circle before shrinking back. Helpless, Xie Lian could only adjust his landing posture in midair. If it was in the past, he would most likely fall head first three feet into the ground again. But this time, just as he was about to hit the ground, San Lang casually grabbed him and he actually landed straight on. When his boots firmly landed on the ground, he was still a little incredulous. But this incredulity was quickly diluted. As soon as he landed, he saw a black-clothed figure stumbling over in front of him.
Xie Lian fixed his eyes on him and exclaimed with slight delight, "Nan Feng!"
It really was Nan Feng. Only, it was Nan Feng who was already in a sorry state. It was as if he had rolled a dozen times in the dust, and then was thrown into a mess and ravaged by animals for a night. His clothes were torn and tattered, and he cut a sorry figure. When he heard Xie Lian calling him, he only raised his hand and silently wiped his face. He couldn't even speak. Xie Lian helped him up and said, "What happened to you? Did you get beaten up by those two girls? "
Before he finished speaking, he saw two figures following behind Nan Feng and walking over. One was the white-clothed female Crown Prince. Her horsetail whisk rested in the crook of her arm and she greeted him with a smile, saying, "Hello, Your Highness the Crown Prince."
Although he didn't know who the other person was, Xie Lian still had to return the courtesy. But he didn't know how to address her, so he could only smile and raise his hand in greeting, saying, "Hello, Fellow Daoist."
The black-clothed female Crown Prince only glanced over coldly and didn't pay much attention to him. When her eyes swept over San Lang, she slightly paused, seeming to feel that this person was very suspicious and stopped walking for a moment.
The gust of wind just now had sent the people at the bottom of the pit up. The two people passed by Xie Lian and walked straight towards Pei Su. Pei Su looked at the newcomers and wasn't surprised. After all, when he was disguised as Ah Zhao, he had already seen these two people once in the city. He knelt where he was and bowed his head to the white-clothed female Crown Prince. In a low voice, he said, "Master Feng."
Hearing these four words, Xie Lian froze.
He had always thought that these were demons and ghosts. How could he have known that they were actually Heavenly Officials of the Heavenly Court? Moreover, they were Master Feng, the Master Feng who had scattered one hundred thousand merits in the spirit communication array!
But thinking about it carefully, there wasn't anything wrong. At that time, the white-clothed female Crown Prince had said something like, "Where are those people hiding? Don't tell me you want me to find them one by one and kill them?", which made him think that they weren't good people. But in reality, this "people" didn't necessarily refer to them. It could also be referring to the "Half Moon Person." It was just that his first impression was strong, so he felt that the other person's every move carried a strange and evil aura.
Towards a Heavenly Official who could give out one hundred thousand merits in one move, Xie Lian couldn't help but hold an indescribable sense of reverence. He said to Nan Feng, "Why didn't you tell me earlier that this was Master Feng? I even guessed that it might be a snake spirit or a scorpion spirit. This is really a bit rude. "
Nan Feng's expression was a bit dark. "How would I know that was Master Feng? I've never seen Master Feng like this before. Master Feng has always been … Forget it. "
Xie Lian understood that this was probably Master Feng's disguise. He didn't think too much about it and asked, "Why did Master Feng come to the Half Moon Pass?"
Nan Feng said, "To help. They were wandering around the Half Moon City to find the Half Moon Pass soldiers. "
Xie Lian immediately recalled the first time he inquired about the Half-moon Pass in the spirit communication array. Amidst the awkwardness, this Wind Master had suddenly scattered a hundred thousand merit points, diverting the attention of others. Perhaps at that time, he had already noticed what he was asking about.
On this side, he was deep in thought. On the other side, Master Feng squatted down in front of Pei Su and said, "Little Pei, I heard everything."
Pei Su lowered his head. Master Feng said, "You admit that in these two hundred years, you were the one who led those people into the Half Moon Ancient City?"
Since he was caught red-handed, Pei Su didn't argue and said in a deep voice, "It was me."
Master Feng asked, "Why?"
After a pause, Pei Su said, "Master Feng already had his suspicions. Can't you guess why?"
Master Feng said, "Is it because these souls are the iron-clad proof that your hands are stained with blood and might become an obstacle to your future advancement?"
Pei Su didn't comment. Xie Lian couldn't help but say, "If it really can't be done, why don't you just kill them? Why do you have to use living people to appease the resentment here? Is this any different from using another person's flesh to satisfy another person's hunger and thirst? "
San Lang said, "He can't."
That's right. In the Celestial Court, every move of a Heavenly Official like Pei Su was watched by countless eyes. There were many things that couldn't be done directly. He couldn't come down with his main body to kill these resentful spirit soldiers, and he couldn't send troops to exterminate them. It was originally a secretive matter. If the commotion was too big, wouldn't it attract everyone's attention? At most, he could only send a clone like Ah Zhao down secretly.
Using the scorpion tail snake of the Half-moon Pass to bite people and lure people in to feed the resentful spirits, dissipating their resentment, it was undoubtedly the perfect way to kill someone with a borrowed knife.
Master Feng said, "Your General Pei wouldn't do such a thing. This time, I'm afraid you've gone a little overboard. "
As a Heavenly Official of the Celestial Court, he had released a clone to cause chaos in Half-moon Pass for nearly two hundred years, leading countless passersby astray and becoming the souls of the Half-moon Pass' soldiers. No matter what, it wasn't a small matter. Pei Su lowered his head and said, "This junior understands."
Master Feng flicked his horsetail whisk and said, "It's good that you understand. Sort things out in your heart and go up first. "
Pei Su said in a low voice, "Yes."
After Master Feng finished explaining, he inserted his horsetail whisk into the collar of his Daoist robe and stood up. He cupped his hands towards Xie Lian and said with a smile, "Your Highness, it's an honor to meet you."
This was considered a formal greeting. To Xie Lian, "it's an honor to meet you" wasn't a nice thing to say, but in any case, it was just a formality. Xie Lian also smiled and said, "Not at all. Master Feng, it's an honor to meet you. "
Master Feng said, "I'm really sorry about before."
Xie Lian was startled and said, "Before? What happened before? "
Master Feng said, "Didn't you guys encounter a sandstorm in the desert?"
Xie Lian thought about it and felt that his mouth was full of sand. He said, "Yes."
Master Feng said, "That was caused by me."
"… …"
Master Feng said, "The original intention of that sandstorm was to prevent you guys from approaching Half-moon Pass. I didn't expect that you guys wouldn't be swept away. Instead, after many twists and turns, you guys still managed to find your way here."
The more Xie Lian listened, the more he felt that something was wrong. A sandstorm obstructed them from going to Half-moon Pass, and then this matter suddenly appeared. What was the meaning of this?
For now, he bided his time and didn't reply. He wanted to hear what the other party had to say. Master Feng then said, "However, Your Highness, it's best that you don't interfere with this matter anymore."
Xie Lian glanced at Half-moon Pass curled up on the ground. A bad premonition flashed in his heart.
He was originally worried that once this matter was reported to the Heavenly Court, the Heavenly Officials would casually add a few words and change their words. Then, it would become Little Pei being innocent and Half-moon Pass taking the blame. Now, a Master Feng suddenly appeared out of nowhere and told him not to interfere with this matter. Wasn't it more like he wanted to protect Little Pei?
Thus, he calmly took a step forward and stood in front of Half-moon Pass. In a warm voice, he said, "However, I've already taken care of this matter. Saying that you don't want me to interfere at this time is also useless."
Master Feng smiled and said, "You can be at ease. You can take the Half-moon State Preceptor away first. "
This was actually outside of Xie Lian's expectations. He was slightly startled. Master Feng then said, "We've already heard about this entire matter from above. Although this Half-moon State Preceptor has already reached the 'Fierce' realm, when I was wandering around the city, I saw her lock the Half-moon soldiers into the array she set up. I also saw her release the mortals captured by the soldiers. Not only did she not harm anyone, she even saved people. The only people I want to take away are Little General Pei and Ke Mo. You don't need to worry about who I'll pull to take the blame. "
Xie Lian felt relieved and said, "I'm ashamed! I've been too paranoid. "
Master Feng said, "It's normal for you to be so worried. After all, the atmosphere in the Heavenly Court is indeed not good."
That black-clothed woman seemed to be unable to bear staying here for another moment. She said from the side, "Are you done? If you're done, you can leave. "
Master Feng shouted, "Hey! What are you so anxious for? The more anxious you are, the more I'll say! " Although she said this, she had already turned around and took out a folding fan from her waist. She said, "Your Highness the Crown Prince, if there's nothing else, shall we meet again in the Heavenly Court?"
Xie Lian nodded. Master Feng then unfolded the folding fan. On the front of the fan was written a horizontal character for 'Wind'. On the back, there were three lines of clear wind. Thinking that this was the Wind God Official's magical artifact, she fanned the folding fan three times, then three times. Suddenly, a gust of wind rose from the flat ground. The wind blew the sand and stones away, blinding the eyes. Xie Lian raised his sleeve to block the wind. When the gust of wind passed, the two women, Pei Su, and Ke Mo had all disappeared. Only Xie Lian, San Lang, Nan Feng, and the curled up Half-moon were left.
Xie Lian put down his sleeve and asked in a daze, "What's going on?"
San Lang leisurely walked over and said, "It's a pretty good situation."
Xie Lian looked at him and asked, "Is it good?"
San Lang replied, "It's pretty good. Master Feng told you not to worry about it because she's helping you. "
Nan Feng also walked over and said, "Yes. You've already gotten involved in a lot of this matter. Next, you can only go complain to the Emperor. You don't need to worry about this matter anymore. "
Xie Lian understood and said, "Because of General Pei?"
Nan Feng said, "That's right. This time, you've thoroughly offended General Pei. "
Xie Lian smiled and said, "In any case, I've already predicted that I would offend at least one of them. As for who exactly I offended, it doesn't seem too important anymore."
Nan Feng frowned and said, "Don't think I'm joking. Aside from the Divine Martial Palace Hall, the most powerful martial god is Ming Guang Palace Hall. General Pei really values Little Pei and has always wanted Pei Su to kick Quan Yizhen out of power. He will definitely find trouble for you. "
Xie Lian said, "Is Quan Yizhen that Western martial god you mentioned?"
Nan Feng said, "That's him. Quan Yizhen is also an upstart. He's very close to the time when Pei Su ascended. He's young, a bit … … but also very powerful. General Pei intentionally allowed Pei Su to seize all of his followers in the West. Pei Su has also worked hard and has been progressing well these past few years. In the end, you did something like this. I'm afraid Pei Su will be out of luck. I don't know if he'll be demoted or not. If by any chance he gets demoted, you'll also be out of luck. "
Xie Lian rubbed the space between his eyebrows and inwardly decided that from now on, he would be more careful when he ate, drank, and walked. However, San Lang disapproved and said, "You don't need to worry. Pei Ming is a very prideful person. He won't play dirty. "
Nan Feng glanced at him. Xie Lian then said, "Then what about Master Feng? Master Feng told me not to worry about it. Does that mean she's responsible for complaining? If that's the case, wouldn't she be the one who offended General Pei? Don't worry about it. It's better to call her back. Nan Feng, do you know what Master Feng's spiritual password is? "
Nan Feng said, "You don't need to worry about Master Feng. General Pei dares to touch you, but he won't touch her. Although she's younger than you, she's doing much better than you. "
"… …"
Xie Lian's silence wasn't because he'd suffered a blow. Rather, he was thinking to himself, "Could it be that there's someone in the Heavenly Court who's doing worse than me? I don't think so. "
San Lang smiled and said, "Master Feng has someone supporting her. Naturally, she'll be doing well."
Xie Lian said, "Are you talking about that black-clothed woman beside her? I think she's also a formidable figure. "
San Lang said, "No. However, that black-clothed woman is indeed a formidable figure. She should be one of the five 'Wind, Water, Rain, Lightning' Masters. I don't recommend offending her. "
Since Master Feng was able to create tornadoes from flat ground, naturally her powers were high. However, that black-clothed woman was clearly a cut above him. Xie Lian kept having the feeling that the woman seemed to have sensed something was wrong with San Lang. Feeling that something was wrong, he said, "I agree with you."
However, there was another sentence that he felt didn't need to be said. Xie Lian thought to himself, "Having someone supporting you doesn't necessarily mean you'll be doing well." It must be known that back in the day, the one who supported the Xian Le Crown Prince was the number one martial god in a thousand years, Jun Wu. Didn't he also not do well?
Xie Lian picked up the bamboo hat that Nan Feng had dropped and patted it. Seeing that it hadn't been flattened, he let out a sigh of relief and put it back on his back. Sizing up Nan Feng, he said, "Could it be that you were chased and beaten by those two daren the entire way?"
Nan Feng's face darkened as he said, "Yes. I was beaten the entire way. "
Xie Lian patted his shoulder and said, "It's really been hard on you." After he finished speaking, he suddenly remembered that there was someone else who was also having a hard time. Turning his head, he asked, "Where's Fu Yao?"
Nan Feng said, "Wasn't he watching over those poisoned people?"
The meaning behind his words was that they hadn't seen Fu Yao since the moment they were swept out by that gale. In reality, after Ah Zhao appeared, Xie Lian didn't really notice him. If he didn't run away then, then he ran away when that gale blew.
Xie Lian wasn't really worried about him. He guessed that Ah Zhao just didn't want to get involved in this mess, so he quickly slipped away. However, when they heard Nan Feng say 'poisoned', the two of them cried out at the same time, "Good Moon Grass!"
San Lang said, "There's no need to rush. The sky just brightened."
However, they couldn't not rush when it came to saving people's lives. Even if it hadn't been twenty four hours yet, who knew if something would happen along the way? At that moment, Xie Lian carried Half-moon on his back and madly ran towards the Imperial Palace.
When he arrived at the Imperial Palace, he put Half-moon down and went up to pluck a few handfuls of good moon grass. That buried person was still on the ground, leaving only a pile of white bones and a badly mutilated face.
If it was in the past, Xie Lian might have casually dug a hole and buried it. However, he was in a hurry to save people, and secondly, this person had already been buried in the ground for over fifty years. Presumably, he wouldn't want to go back. However, that merchant's skeleton had unexpectedly disappeared. Xie Lian stopped. Just as he was feeling strange, San Lang picked up a small clay pot from the Imperial Palace. When Xie Lian saw it, he immediately said, "Good San Lang, thank you very much!"
At the moment, Half-moon was weak and couldn't be woken up. Xie Lian then put her into the clay pot. The group of people picked the grass and finally rushed back. At this time, only eight hours had passed since they encountered the Scorpion Tail Snake.
When they arrived at the place where Fu Yao had drawn the circle, they still obediently stayed in the circle and didn't dare to wander around. That old uncle had taken the medicinal pill that Nan Feng had given him, so his injuries were under control. After taking the good moon grass externally and resting for a while, he would be able to walk again. However, Xie Lian felt that he didn't need to tell him what the fertilizer for the good moon grass was.
After a while, everyone calmed down and started to worry, "Where's Tiansheng? Why haven't they returned yet? "
Previously, Xie Lian was in a hurry to pick the grass to save people. In addition, not a single one of Half-moon's soldiers were left in the ancient city, so he didn't have the time to take care of Tiansheng and the others. Just as he was about to turn back, he heard a teenager's voice shouting as he ran closer and closer. When he turned around, he saw that it was Tiansheng. That teenager was holding a large amount of good moon grass in his hand. Behind him were two merchants, both of whom were gasping for breath.
After asking, he found out that at the sinner's pit, Half-moon had swept away a bunch of soldiers and captured Tiansheng and the others. Originally, Tiansheng and the others were scared half to death. Who knew that after Half-moon had captured them and pointed them the way, they would let them go. After escaping, they hurriedly picked the good moon grass and buried the merchant's corpse. Then, they rushed back with all their might. However, they were still a bit slower than Xie Lian and the others.
In short, after escorting this caravan out of the desert, the matter could finally be considered to have come to an end.
However, before they left, Tiansheng secretly ran over to find him and mysteriously said, "Gege, I want to ask you a question."
Xie Lian replied, "Go ahead."
Tiansheng asked, "You're actually a deity, right?"
"… …"
Xie Lian was a little shocked, but also a little touched.
This was because there was a period of time when he would often shout out to people that he was a deity, that he was the Crown Prince, but no one would believe him. This time, he didn't even open his mouth, but the other party had already asked him if he was a deity. This really made him a little shocked and touched.
Tiansheng immediately said, "I saw you use magic! Don't worry, I won't tell anyone else. "
Xie Lian thought to himself, "How should I say this? Even if you say it, no one will believe you … …"
Tiansheng said, "This time, it's all thanks to you. Otherwise, I would have been kicked into that pit by those black ghost soldiers. When I go back, I'll build a temple for you. It'll be dedicated to you. "
Xie Lian couldn't help but smile when he saw Tiansheng pat his chest and make a 'very very big' gesture. "Then I'll have to thank you."
San Lang, who was at the side, chuckled for some unknown reason. Xie Lian didn't feel that he was mocking the child for not knowing the immensity of heaven and earth.
Although the child didn't understand how big a matter it was to build a temple, receiving this kind of promise, regardless of whether it could be fulfilled or not, he was still quite happy.
After being pestered in every possible way, he had no choice but to carelessly leave behind the title of 'Tattered Immortal'. Waving his hand, he walked off in the other direction. Nan Feng activated a Thousand Li Shrinking spell and sent them back to Pu Qi Monastery.
Opening the door, Xie Lian took out a mat and laid it on the ground. Then, he laid down on it like a corpse. His entire movement was done in one go. San Lang also sat down next to him and rested his chin on his hand as he watched him. Xie Lian sighed and asked, "How many days have we been gone?"
San Lang replied, "Generally speaking, three or four days."
Xie Lian sighed again and said, "It's only been three or four days. Why are you so tired?"
Ever since he had ascended, he had often been as tired as a dog. This really wasn't an illusion. After he finished sighing, he raised his head and said, "Huh? Nan Feng, why haven't you gone back to report?"
Nan Feng asked, "What report?"
Xie Lian replied, "Aren't you a Heavenly Official of Nan Yang Palace Hall? Won't your family's General come looking for you after you leave for three or four days? "
Nan Feng replied, "My family's General isn't in the palace hall right now. He doesn't care about me."
Xie Lian crawled up and said, "Alright, it's fine if you stay."
Nan Feng asked, "What are you going to do?"
Xie Lian amiably said, "I'm going to cook a meal for you. To reward you. "
Hearing this, Nan Feng's expression changed greatly. He raised his hand and pressed two fingers against his temple, as if he had received a telepathic message. Standing up, he said, "Something happened in the palace hall. I'll be leaving first."
Xie Lian raised his hand and said, "Hey, Nan Feng, don't go. Why did something suddenly happen? This time, it's really been hard on you … … "
Nan Feng roared, "Something really happened!" Seeing him rush out the door, Xie Lian sat back down on the mat and said to San Lang, "Looks like he's not hungry."
Before San Lang could reply, a bang was heard. Nan Feng rushed back and blocked the door, saying, "You two … …"
Xie Lian and San Lang sat side by side on the mat. Raising their heads to look at him, Xie Lian asked, "What happened to the two of us?"
Nan Feng pointed at San Lang and then at Xie Lian. After hesitating for a while, he said, "I'll be back."
Xie Lian said, "Welcome, welcome."
Nan Feng swept his gaze over San Lang again before closing the door and leaving. Xie Lian folded his arms and imitated San Lang by tilting his head. "Looks like something really happened."
He then glanced at the youth beside him and said with a smile, "If he's not hungry, then what about you?"
San Lang also replied with a smile, "I'm hungry."
Xie Lian smiled and stood up again. Turning around, he casually tidied up the offering table and said, "Alright. Then, what do you want to eat, Hua Cheng? "
Behind him, there was a moment of silence. Then, a low chuckle was heard.
