Inside the Dragon-Subduing Pagoda.
Hongjun slid left and right against the ice, swinging Qiu Yongsi in an arc. At the same time, the glass bottle in Qiu Yongsi's arms was on the verge of falling.
"Go —!" Hong Jun shouted loudly. Borrowing the arc of the last swing, he pulled out the Mo Blade from the slit. He flew up, bringing Qiu Yongsi with him as he pounced towards the protruding cliff in the distance. Accompanied by an almost uncontrollable shout, his wrist rotated, the Mo Blade stabbing horizontally towards the opposite cliff.
"Buzz." The tip of the Mo Sword pierced into the rock. Less than three inches into the rock, the entire Mo Sword hummed and vibrated, holding Hongjun and Qiu Yongsi in place as it vibrated wildly.
Hongjun was so shaken that he almost bit his own tongue. Meanwhile, the glass bottle in Qiu Yongsi's arms finally flew out. It first flew up, then flew high, then flew in front of Hongjun.
Hongjun asked, "What is this?"
By the time he realized that it was the Dragon Bone Ash Bottle, the glass bottle had already reached its peak and was falling down.
Hongjun said, "Ahhh —"
Not to mention that he didn't have time to catch it, even if he did, he wouldn't have the time to catch it! If he caught it with his left hand, he would have to let go of the Mo Sword in a short moment. If he caught it with his right hand, he would have to let go of Qiu Yongsi. In a short moment, the glass bottle was already falling into the abyss. Hongjun turned his head, his mind blank.
Instantly, a hand shot out and grabbed the glass bottle in the air.
"Heavens! What are you doing? Hongjun! "Qiu Yongsi shouted frantically.
Hongjun said, "Heavens, you're finally awake!"
Qiu Yongsi looked down at his feet and instantly shouted. He looked up and asked, "Where is this?"
"How would I know?" Hongjun said, "Don't ask!"
Qiu Yongsi grabbed Hongjun's arm and kicked his legs to climb up. Hongjun couldn't hold on any longer and roared, "Don't move! Hang there obediently! "
"The bottle almost fell!" Qiu Yongsi said, "It would be over if it fell!"
Hongjun looked to the side to find a new foothold and said, "I'll throw you over there. There's a cliff over there."
There was a faintly visible crack in the ice mountain. Qiu Yongsi shouted hurriedly, "I can't climb up!"
"Cut the crap!" Hongjun's arms were almost out of strength. With a few swings, he flung Qiu Yongsi away. Qiu Yongsi almost fell off the cliff, but at the last moment, he managed to grab onto the edge of the cliff and stand firm.
With one less burden, Hongjun finally let out a sigh of relief. He leaped forward nearly a zhang, but his strength was exhausted and he almost fell down. Qiu Yongsi hastily pulled him up.
It was much better to have a foothold. Hongjun disassembled the Mo Sword and released the Flame Flying Dagger.
"Don't move!" Qiu Yongsi immediately said.
However, Qiu Yongsi's dissuasion was a step too late. Hongjun had already melted the huge rock stuck in the crack. A huge chunk of ice the size of a small mountain fell down with a loud bang.
Hongjun, "…"
A faint dragon's roar came from afar. Qiu Yongsi said, "Oh no … I don't know which flood dragon woke up."
Hongjun glanced at Qiu Yongsi and didn't say anything. Suddenly, this still world of ice and snow seemed to come alive. The wind slowly blew, sweeping up the ice and snow. It passed through the ice peak and whistled as it poured in.
"What a strong wind." Hongjun was blown so hard that he couldn't breathe.
Qiu Yongsi said, "Let's go."
The two of them squeezed through the crack. Above them was an ice cave that flickered with blue light. As they walked further in, there was a faint light. There was a gap in the ice and snow. Qiu Yongsi first used his hands and feet to climb up, then pulled Hongjun up.
"Where is this?" Hongjun said with a confused expression.
The two of them stood on a mountain covered in ice and snow. In the distance, there was a lone peak. On top of the lone peak, a blue light shot into the sky.
"Bitter Frost Prison." Qiu Yongsi said, "The second floor of the Dragon Subduing Pagoda. When we entered the pagoda, there was a problem with the teleportation array and we were teleported to the bottom … Fortunately, we weren't at the bottom of the pagoda."
"Oh." Hongjun said, "Then how do we get out?"
"That blue light should be the teleportation array to the third floor." Qiu Yongsi muttered, "After Ye Ming died, Xie Yu broke through each floor one by one. The flood dragons trapped in the Bitter Frost Prison should have all escaped. We have to go to the ninth floor and repair the barrier before we can leave. "
"Then let's go." Hongjun said as he turned around and walked in front.
Qiu Yongsi sighed and said, "Let's rest for a while. Are you tired? Hongjun? "
Hongjun walked forward with his head lowered. Qiu Yongsi looked at him and followed. His boots sank into the snow, creating deep holes with each step. He shouted again, "We have to find another way!"
Hongjun looked back and replied, "Then you find another way!"
"Don't go! Wait! " Qiu Yongsi looked at the blue light at the top of the mountain. There were several dragons flying around the light pillar. They were so small that they couldn't be seen clearly.
Hongjun didn't answer and looked into the distance.
Qiu Yongsi: "Hongjun?"
Hongjun: "…"
Qiu Yongsi: "What's wrong?"
Hongjun didn't say anything.
Qiu Yongsi: "You're angry? What's wrong? "
Hongjun: "Nothing."
Qiu Yongsi: "What's wrong?"
"What do you think?!" Hongjun was furious and shouted at Qiu Yongsi, "Do you know how dangerous it was just now?! It's good enough that I was able to save your life! You're blaming me for not looking after your broken bottle?! "
Qiu Yongsi realized that he was in a daze just now. What he said when he woke up was all subconscious. Although he didn't know what he had experienced before hanging in the air, the situation at that time was indeed quite dangerous. He hurriedly apologized to Hongjun, "I'm sorry, it's my fault."
Hongjun's expression darkened. He ignored Qiu Yongsi and continued walking forward. Qiu Yongsi found it funny and said, "You want me to kowtow to you? You can come and beat me up to vent your anger. "
"No need," Hongjun said unhappily, "Elder Shi will definitely come and save me. You can just stay in the tower."
Qiu Yongsi said, "Then when I see Jinglong, I'll let him beat me up to vent his anger, okay?"
Hongjun's dissatisfaction disappeared as quickly as it came. He said, "If they come in, will they come here too?"
If Li Jinglong and Lu Xu came together, Lu Xu's White Deer transformation could fly, so it would be safer. Even so, they were still flustered.
"No." Qiu Yongsi said, "My grandfather will send them directly to the ninth floor. If they can avoid the flood dragons' attack, they'll go down level by level. We'll just go to the passage and wait … Hongjun? Why are you barefoot? "
Qiu Yongsi came closer and saw that Hongjun was still barefoot. He was still wearing the summer clothes he wore before he came in. He said, "I'll give you my boots."
Hongjun looked up into the distance and said, "It's not cold. Let's go."
However, as soon as Hongjun used his magic, a dragon's roar came from the distance again. It came from a different direction from the blue light that shot up to the sky.
Hongjun subconsciously wanted to dodge, but Qiu Yongsi turned to face the direction of the dragon's roar. Hongjun said, "Don't tell me this tower is filled with flood dragons like Xie Yu?"
"They're all more difficult to deal with." Qiu Yongsi murmured, "But I think the difficult ones are all heading up … Follow me, Hongjun."
As he spoke, Qiu Yongsi motioned for Hongjun to follow behind him. Hongjun asked, "Are we going to die?"
Qiu Yongsi smiled and said, "I have to make sure you're fine. If I don't hand you over to the Chief Scribe, I'll be the one to die."
The wind and snow were getting heavier. Qiu Yongsi held the front while Hongjun followed behind him. The two of them slowly walked towards the snow-covered forest in the distance.
Qiu Yongsi was shivering from the cold. Hongjun followed behind him as if nothing happened. Qiu Yongsi said, "It's so cold … Hongjun, aren't you afraid of the cold at all?"
Hongjun was expressionless. He took out a Phoenix feather from his pocket.
Qiu Yongsi was speechless.
Qiu Yongsi retreated a little and tried his best to stay close to Hongjun. The two of them walked forward with difficulty. The Phoenix feather could keep out the cold, but it couldn't keep out the wind. After they entered the pine forest, the wind gradually died down.
"Get ready." Qiu Qiu said, "I'll send you in now."
"If we go like this, it'll take at least ten days to half a month." Mo Rigen said.
Lu Xu said, "Don't be discouraged. Maybe they're waiting on the ninth level?"
Li Jinglong and Ashina Chong stood in the middle of the teleportation array. The other four people watched. Trandol said worriedly, "Be careful."
Li Jinglong said, "We will. Don't worry."
Ashina Chong said, "Sister-in-law is talking to me. Why are you thinking too much? You're not close to her."
Li Jinglong was speechless.
Atay said, "Then, let's go according to plan."
Li Jinglong nodded. At the same time, Qiu Qiu chanted an incantation. The teleportation array gradually lit up with a bright blue light. Mo Rigen said, "The first time, there's no long history. I don't know how long it'll take."
"You can do it." Atay patted Mo Rigen's shoulder and said.
"Mo Rigen will be promoted to Governor of the Exorcism Department." Li Jinglong said in the teleportation array as the blue light shone brighter. "I'll leave it to you to temporarily take charge of my seal." Then, the seal of the Marquis of Yadan and the seal of the Exorcism Department flew out like shooting stars.
"No way!"
Ashina Chong in the array. Lu Xu and Atay outside the array shouted together, "He's been promoted just like that!"
Mo Rigen smiled helplessly. He grabbed the seal with his left hand and waved his right hand at his eyebrows, bidding farewell to Li Jinglong.
"Wait for me to come out. Let's all have another drink!" Li Jinglong said from afar.
"The sea turns into mulberry fields, the stars move — —" Qiu Qiu spread his hands, and the power of the array reached its peak. He roared, "Go!"
The array suddenly condensed into a blue pillar of light that shot up into the sky. Li Jinglong and Ashina Chong instantly disappeared in the pillar of light.
However, in the next moment, before the blue light was extinguished, a black flood dragon rushed out from the magic circle, spraying green blood all over its body. The magic circle released a powerful impact and explosion in all directions, instantly razing the entire garden to the ground!
Mo Rigen's expression changed, and he roared, "Chase — —!"
Lu Xu transformed into a White Deer almost at the same time. Atay waved his fan, and Mo Rigen jumped onto the White Deer's back and chased after the Hei Jiao! Xie Yu roared crazily, the scales all over its body broke open, and green blood sprayed out in an arc. Mo Rigen's seven arrows followed closely behind.
Before anyone had time to think, Xie Yu rushed into the clouds, its huge black body somersaulting in the air, and fell to the ground with a roar. The three exorcists followed closely behind, and with another fierce plunge, they followed the Hei Jiao down. The unforeseen event was too sudden. Countless thoughts flashed through Mo Rigen's mind — — this was the second time he had fallen into a trap!
Xie Yu fell to the ground, and in an instant, dragons of different colors flew from the sky. Then, the Kirin, the Phoenix, and other mythical beasts turned into shadows and chased after it. In the faraway Fuyun Mountain Villa, Qiu Qiu kept chanting incantations, and mythical beasts flew out of the villa one after another, surrounding Xie Yu!
Xie Yu did not dodge at all, and let the mythical beasts summoned by his mana tear at its body. It fell heavily into the West Lake, creating huge waves that rolled to the four sides of the lake. Green blood spread out, and it sank rapidly!
Qiu Qiu and Trandol chased out of the villa, and Grey Wolf, White Deer, and Atay stood by the West Lake, staring blankly at the rolling waves on the surface of the lake.
"It escaped again!" Grey Wolf roared angrily.
White light flashed, and formed a rapidly rotating bright disc in the void. Li Jinglong and Ashina Chong were almost spat out. The two of them could not help but scream, and fell to the ground from a height of ten feet. Li Jinglong somersaulted in the air, and with the Sword of Wisdom in his hand, he landed steadily. Ashina Chong slid forward and steadied himself.
The sky was dark and gloomy, and the ground was empty. There were thorns everywhere, and in the center, there was a tall tower that towered into the sky. As far as the eye could see, the roars of dragons could be heard. In the sky, thousands of dragons had appeared and were revolving around the tower.
The flood dragons were surrounded by black smoke, and they looked like vortex-shaped dark clouds. The moment the teleportation array appeared in the sky, the flood dragons had already noticed the abnormality, and they rushed toward Li Jinglong and Ashina Chong like a school of carps crossing the river!
"Damn it …" Ashina Chong was stunned. "What … what's going on?"
Li Jinglong gave the order in a short moment.
"Run —!"
In the Wind and Snow Forest, the sky gradually darkened.
Qiu Yongsi and Hongjun sat under a tree. Light snow fluttered in the air, and the two of them sat cross-legged, facing a Phoenix tail feather that was placed on a rock for warmth. Near where they sat, the snow had already melted, and Qiu Yongsi's cloak was spread on the ground for Hongjun to cushion.
"Is it that cold?" Hongjun said.
"I'm a southerner!" Qiu Yongsi complained.
"I didn't see you so afraid of the cold last time in Dunhuang." Hongjun said.
"That's because I knew we were going to Dunhuang, so I wore a lot, and I even brought magic weapons!" Qiu Yongsi said.
Hongjun rubbed his hands and looked at Qiu Yongsi. He suddenly felt that he was quite funny. He was wearing the Immortal Dragon-subduing Immortal Armor, and yet he was still so timid.
"Are you still angry?" Qiu Yongsi said.
"No." Hongjun said in a bad mood.
Qiu Yongsi thought for a moment, then said, "Hongjun, I'll say something. Since the Chief Inspector isn't here, he won't beat me."
"What do you want to say?" Hongjun looked at Qiu Yongsi warily.
"That's not what I meant!" Qiu Yongsi hurriedly explained, "I like girls, beautiful girls, cute girls, and considerate girls."
Hongjun knew that Qiu Yongsi often went to Pingkang with Atay. Although he was always smiling, he rarely crossed the line. He took good care of himself and Lu Xu, and would ask them about their feelings. This was something that almost no one else in the Exorcism Division would do.
But there was always a 'what if'. Mo Rigen also said that he couldn't get hard in front of Lu Xu. Who knew if Qiu Yongsi would change his mind at the slightest disagreement? He still had to be vigilant.
"I'm serious." Qiu Yongsi said, "Hongjun, thank you, and I'm sorry."
Hongjun said frantically, "If you want to thank me, you have to quickly think of a way to get out!"
Qiu Yongsi hurriedly said that he would. Hongjun said, "A day inside is a year outside!"
Qiu Yongsi said, "It won't take that long. Half a day here is at most twenty days outside."
Hongjun said, "The Chief Inspector will also go crazy if he waits for ten days."
Qiu Yongsi replied, "Yes, yes. I'll do it as soon as possible. You have to believe me … "He then became a little sad and laughed self-deprecatingly," You have someone waiting for you to get out, unlike me. "
When Hongjun heard this, his heart ached, but he didn't know what to say. He could only say, "Don't say that, Yongsi -ge … we can't live without you."
Qiu Yongsi looked at Hongjun and smiled, "So, thank you, Hongjun."
The two sat in front of the rock and looked at each other quietly for a moment. Hongjun also smiled and said, "You're welcome, Yongsi -ge."
