Chapter Five Hundred and Thirty First Ember Shining in the Prison Sea
"Calm down?"
Xu Xiaoshou leaned over and looked at the caramel candy that A Jie had stepped on the ground.
This woman is so crazy!
Knowing that he has so many bodyguards, he still wants to beat himself up.
Even if I thought about it, I actually succeeded several times!
But obviously, his passive skills are not a vegetarian.
When Caramel Candy was knocked out by the backlash, he lost control of his body for a moment, but Ah Jie seized the opportunity and subdued him directly.
"Xu Xiaoshou, come down here!"
Caramel Sugar raised her head and shouted unwillingly.
"What did you say?"
Xu Xiaoshou stretched his head and held his hands to his ears.
"Give me, come down!" Caramel Sugar roared.
"The wind is too strong above. I can't hear you. Please speak louder." Xu Xiaoshou also shouted.
He stood in the eye sockets of the Jinzhao white skeleton, a full hundred meters above the ground, feeling the warm white flames behind him, and felt a little bit of security.
Go down?
That is impossible!
"Calm down a little, and once we can have a good conversation, I'll tell Ajie to let you go," he continued shouting.
"I'm calm!"
Caramel sugar can actually resist.
But if I really want to break away from the great strength of Ajie's small body, I'm afraid I have to transform into a ghost beast form.
Just as Xu Xiaoshou said.
It would be absolutely unwise to expose one's ghostly beast aura in this meaningless battle.
"Mom..."
Ah Jie seemed to sense something and loosened his foot.
"Whoosh!"
The caramel candy disappeared instantly.
"Reach to the sky in one step!"
Xu Xiaoshou's scalp instantly became numb, and he took one step forward, directly into the eye sockets of the ice blue and white skull.
as expected.
"boom!"
The eye sockets of Jin Zhaobai's skeleton suffered a critical blow from the whip leg in the next second.
The rock-hard skull actually made a "click" sound, cracking and disintegrating in an instant.
"Roar!"
The white-skulled Ah Huo screamed in pain, his cheekbones swelled, and the next second white flames poured out.
"Stop, stop fighting!"
Xu Xiaoshou was shocked to see it.
This is going to really lead to a fight. Once everyone's tempers rise, it's easy to lose control of the situation!
Fortunately, Caramel Tang also learned about the power of flames like Bai Yan from Xin Gugu, so he didn't force it at all.
He jumped on his horse and dodged A Huo's attack.
"calm."
Xu Xiaoshou used his spiritual thoughts to hold the three bodyguards still and persuaded them while facing the caramel candy.
"I told you, I'm calm." Caramel Tang's chest heaved with anger.
Xu Xiaoshou thought to himself that if you call this calmness, you'd be damned.
But this wave of tentative attacks clearly made the woman realize that her three bodyguards were not easy to mess with.
She didn't want to fight.
Xu Xiaoshou didn’t even want to be beaten!
"Skills like teleportation...?" Caramel Sugar asked with narrowed eyes.
"This is not important."
Xu Xiaoshou waved his hand and said: "The important thing is that what I just told you was not a word of deception. I really don't know the whereabouts of the sealed ghost beast you are looking for."
"But the red vigil and the 'Holy Slave' storyteller are very likely to have captured him."
"Of course we can't rule out that...it escaped on its own in the end."
Caramel Sugar immediately sneered: "You have mentioned three possibilities, are you talking nonsense?!"
"Of course it's not nonsense."
Seeing that he could communicate, Xu Xiaoshou breathed a sigh of relief and said, "At least, I will help you eliminate these three options for you, so you don't have to search aimlessly throughout the White Cave, right?"
"..."
Caramel Sugar was silent.
Although it makes sense.
But she will probably never want to say the word "yes" again in her life.
"Is it done?"
Xu Xiaoshou asked tentatively: "If nothing happens, you can go your way and I can go mine?"
Seeing that the other party didn't respond, Xu Xiaoshou waved.
"Ajie, come back."
Whoosh!
Light and shadow flashed by, and Ajie appeared beside him instantly.
"Mom..."
Caramel Sugar looked at this violent crime gang, and his head throbbed with pain.
She found that now she had no confidence in catching Xu Xiaoshou by herself.
With that teleportation skill, Xu Xiaoshou can be in an invincible position.
And once I fail to catch this guy first, the three behind will double-team...
This is no longer a question of whether he can capture Xu Xiaoshou, but the reality of whether he can escape from these three terrifying things!
"Xu Xiaoshou, give me all the information you know about the 'Storyteller', and then you leave." Caramel Sugar gave up the idea of forcing Xu Xiaoshou.
This guy, there are really not many people who can force him now.
"How much more can I know about the Storyteller?"
Xu Xiaoshou was amused, "Even if this person is the storyteller of the 'Saint Slave', I only found out after listening to your introduction."
Caramel candy: "..."
"You have experienced the battle you mentioned before and you don't know anything about it?" She didn't believe it at all.
"Under suspicion, passive value, +1."
"I know I told you a long time ago, there is no reason to lie to you."
Xu Xiaoshou rolled his eyes and was about to continue complaining when he suddenly remembered something, "By the way, there is one detail I can tell you."
"speak!"
"That's when the sealed ghost beast and I were trapped in the storyteller's ancient book space. When we came out, the storyteller was already decadent."
"And the vigil is outside!"
"It is not difficult to see that these two people actually had a fight, and the storyteller lost."
"But to hear you say that..."
Xu Xiaoshou hesitated, "The 'Saint Slave' storyteller shouldn't have this strength, right?"
"impossible."
Caramel Candy shook his head and said: "If the one you are talking about is really a 'storyteller', no matter what happens, there is no way that Vigil in Red can defeat him."
"You have to know that this is the person who made such a big move in the Central Territory that even the Seven Swords Immortal Gou Wuyue couldn't be captured in time, and even after chasing him to the White Cave in the Eastern Territory, he still couldn't touch the hem of his clothes."
"For such a being, not to mention a red-robed vigilante, ten more would not be enough for him to give him a tooth."
"That's weird..." Xu Xiaoshou thought about it in his mind and said seriously: "But what I saw at the time was that the storyteller was indeed completely powerless in a fight. As for what happened next, I don't know much about it.
"
Caramel Sugar also fell silent.
It can be seen that Xu Xiaoshou did not lie this time.
So……
"It's impossible!"
She still shook her head: "The sealed ghost beast should have found the ghost beast's body by now, so it can be hidden so well. Apart from fighting, not even a breath is leaked."
"But similarly, because the ghost beast's body cannot keep up with its cultivation level, its strength will inevitably be limited."
"And if the 'Holy Slave' storyteller is present, no matter what you see...everything can only be an appearance."
As Caramel Sugar spoke, his tone was completely certain, "Senior Feng must have fallen into the hands of the 'Saint Slave'!"
Is it your senior Feng, or is it two different things... Xu Xiaoshou complained silently in his heart, but did not dare to say it out loud.
"Is there any way you can find the storyteller?" Caramel Sugar suddenly asked.
"Are you going to find the 'Saint Slave'?"
Xu Xiaoshou was shocked: "You are crazy. You can't even beat me. Are you going to die?"
Caramel candy:???
The corners of her eyes twitched wildly, and she almost couldn't restrain the ancient power in her body again, and chose to fight this guy desperately.
"I have my own way." She said angrily.
"But I can't help it."
Xu Xiaoshou said helplessly: "I have never come into contact with the storyteller. From the beginning to the end, that guy was sealed in the ice. I couldn't even get a piece of his clothes."
"If you want to find him, maybe you can only go to the battle scene to find some scent."
"If it's a ghost beast, its nose should be..."
Xu Xiaoshou stopped talking in time and said some things secretly in his heart.
"It's so useless..." Caramel Sugar had a splitting headache.
Waste?
Xu Xiaoshou was not angry either.
At that time, I hadn't subdued the two white skeletons yet. It was good enough to escape, but why was it useless?
Let me ask you, which innate can survive a chaotic battle between the top bosses such as Hong Yi and the "Saint Slave", as well as the sealed ghost beast?
Xu Xiaoshou was confident that his achievements were very rare in this world.
Even if the Eighth Sword Immortal is reborn, at the same level...it won't work!
Yes, it just doesn’t work!
I, Xu Xiaoshou, said it!
"Buzz——"
When the two of them were silent, the void suddenly trembled.
The next moment, the ground began to shake.
"what happened?"
Xu Xiaoshou immediately became alert and looked back in a certain direction.
Almost at the same time, Caramel Sugar also turned to look.
"Om..."
In his mind, the white beads were broadcasting fixed points, and the entire map of the White Cave was spread out.
On top of it, a certain point of black demonic energy suddenly exploded, instantly covering several small spots of light around it.
Although it is a spot of light, the map of the White Cave is so small, and there are such obvious marks on it that it is shrouded in black.
One can imagine.
At this moment, the entire small world of the White Cave was covered by the demonic energy, which was estimated to be larger than several "Spirit Melts".
"There are four swords?"
Xu Xiaofeng said in shock: "There are four swords, have they been born?"
"Probably not born yet."
Caramel Tang's eyes were solemn and he said: "But looking at this movement, it is not far from Hong Yi's cracking of the 'Thirty-six Heavenly Sealing Formation'."
"This hasn't even happened yet?"
Xu Xiaoshou was shocked.
Before you were born, there was such a big movement?
Calculated in this way, Yan Mang's momentum when he was born pales in comparison.
"After all, it is one of the five major chaos artifacts in the mainland, the 'You Four Swords' known as the fierce sword. Such movement can only be regarded as a prelude, and it is still a relatively small one." Caramel Sugar sighed.
"Buzz buzz buzz."
At that moment, a strange sound suddenly came from Xu Xiaoshou's ring.
He quickly penetrated with his spiritual thoughts.
The next second, a high-speed vibrating spirit plate flew out.
"what?"
Xu Xiaoshou was stunned.
After a long time, he finally remembered that it was something from the old man's ring in the Zhang family.
But he had explored the ring at that time.
Most of the wealth inside is visible to the naked eye.
This soul plate alone is completely incomprehensible.
Now that four swords are moving and one is moving, this thing is moving... Could it be that they are connected?
"Tiansheng Spirit Plate?" Caramel Sugar asked in surprise.
"you know?"
Xu Xiaoshou turned around and looked over, holding up the spirit plate. The pointer on the plate pointed in the direction where the four swords were about to be born.
"Of course I know you."
Caramel Tang gave Xu Xiaoshou a strange look and said, "The major counties around Dongdongbai Cave are notoriously expensive."
"It is said that the last time the White Cave was opened, someone found the 'Sacrifice Falling Sculpture', and the 'Tian Sheng Spirit Plate' is one of the few spiritual objects that recorded the aura of the 'Sacrifice Falling Sculpture'."
"Through this spirit plate, as soon as you enter the white cave, you can lock the location of the fallen sculpture in advance, and finally find the 'Four Swords'."
"Of course, these are all preliminary."
"The thing you are holding now is basically worthless. After all, the location of the 'Four Swords' has been exposed. A large number of red clothes are surrounding it. Whoever goes there will die...a waste soul plate." Caramel Sugar looked at it.
Staring at the spirit board.
"Sacrifice the fallen sculpture?"
Xu Xiaoshou, however, didn't care about the useless spirit plate she said. Instead, his attention was attracted by this new term.
He has always been curious about how the two thrones of Zhang Mansion found their positions.
If it's a coincidence, that's another story.
But the White Cave is so big, there is no reason why he should encounter his mortal enemy every time.
Therefore, he speculated that the two elders of the Zhang family should have found him through this "Tian Sheng Spirit Plate".
And what is bound to the spirit plate is the aura of the "Sacrifice Falling Sculpture"...
Xu Xiaoshou suddenly thought of things related to the carvings on his body.
——The bronze sculpture from the magic box on the top floor of Zhang Mansion’s Sutra Pavilion!
"What is the sacrificial sculpture?" he asked.
"A few pieces of... rust that fell off the body of Yousi Jianjian, right?"
Caramel Sugar frowned and said: "I don't know very well, but it is said that the last time the White Cave was opened, someone got this carving and realized the meaning of the four swords from it."
"And the four swords were one of the swords of the Eighth Sword Immortal in the past, so the sword intent in them can be said to be the legacy of the Eighth Sword Immortal."
"At that time, the 'Sacrificial Sculpture' was sold at a very high price, and even the 'Tian Sheng Spirit Plate' was hard to find, that's all." Her eyes continued to stay on the spirit plate, unable to move at all.
"Iron, rust?" Xu Xiaoshou was shocked.
He has been able to determine that the bronze sculpture that can turn him into a violent giant with just one grasp is undoubtedly the "sacrificial sculpture".
After all, the carvings and the spirit plate were both obtained from the Zhang Mansion, and they can be combined into a set, so this explanation makes sense.
But... rust?
Damn it!
Are these "four swords" really that powerful?
Just the rust from the sword has the ability to make people despair and go crazy?
"Are you kidding?" Xu Xiaoshou couldn't believe it.
"Why did you lie to me?"
Caramel Sugar gave him an angry look and said: "The 'Tian Sheng Spirit Plate' is useless, but its function is indeed very powerful."
"As long as we can really find the 'Sacrificial Sculpture' and rely on the sword intention on it, if someone can really understand it, then there is a high probability that he will be recognized by the 'You Four Swords' and then become the sword holder of the vicious sword!"
"You..."
Caramel Sugar felt a little embarrassed, she wanted this soul plate.
After all, the "Four Swords" have not really been born yet. As long as she can find the "Sacrificial Sculpture" through this spirit plate within this period of time, she will be more confident in bringing the "Four Swords" home.
"It's impossible to give you a spirit plate..."
Xu Xiaoshou subconsciously refused.
Suddenly, I thought about it, I already have the "Sacrificial Sculpture", it's useless to take this thing, why not exchange it for some valuable information?
"I can give you the spirit plate, but I have a few questions to ask you!"
Caramel Tang was startled and suddenly shook his head: "Impossible, I told you, I won't reveal anything to you before signing the contract with ghosts and beasts."
"It's not these questions."
Xu Xiaoshou threw the spirit plate out with a sigh and said: "About the issue of 'there are four swords'."
There was a snap.
Caramel Sugar took the soul plate and tightened her grip, "What do you want to know?"
"everything!"
Xu Xiaoshou said seriously: "All the issues related to the Four Swords and the White Cave, as well as the situations outside the White Cave that you just mentioned."
Although he said that he no longer wanted to take the hot potato of "You Four Swords".
But being kept in the dark and being manipulated by others was unacceptable to Xu Xiaoshou.
At least, we must fully understand why a mere sword with four swords can attract a lot of big guys who are not even sword cultivators.
Is it just because the Eighth Sword Immortal used to wear a sword?
Xu Xiaoshou didn’t believe it.
"Ah!"
Caramel Sugar sneered: "Xu Xiaoshou, are you really a big talker? You just want to exchange my information for the 'Tian Sheng Spirit Plate'?"
"call out!"
Xu Xiaoshou pulled the spiritual thread in his hand, and the spirit plate was pulled back directly, "Forget it if you don't say it."
Caramel candy:???
What ability is this?
Spider silk?
"Being suspicious, passive value, +1."
"I said!" She was so angry that her teeth itched.
Xu Xiaoshou threw the soul plate away again and shrugged: "With me, we can stop being so arrogant, okay? Hurry up!"
"Being cursed, passive value, +1."
Caramel Sugar directly put the spirit plate into the ring, and then said: "There is a legend of four swords, it is very simple, it is the eighth..."
"Are you fooling a kid?"
Xu Xiaoshou rolled his eyes: "Hongyi wants 'Four Swords', 'Saint Slave' wants it, and you want it too. Now, one of the Seven Swordsmen has arrived outside the White Cave."
“It seems that everyone’s primary goal is not to ‘have the four swords’, but the last thing they have in common is that they are all accessible.”
"So, don't tell me that everyone is here just for the shameful reputation of the Eighth Sword Immortal's former sword."
"These things are enough to attract young swordsmen. It's impossible to lie to me!"
"The White Cave...has a secret!"
Xu Xiaoshou thought of the embarrassed saint hiding in an unknown place.
If there is any level of treasure in the White Grotto that can be slightly related to the realm of "holy", there is no doubt that "there are four swords"!
Caramel's eyes flashed with surprise.
"Xu Xiaoshou, you are very..."
"I'm very smart. Stop talking nonsense and talk about something practical!" Xu Xiaoshou interrupted.
Caramel candy: "..."
She clenched her fists tightly and really wanted to turn around and leave right now.
What did this ghost guy eat to grow up? Is his innate attribute power the roundworm in someone else's stomach?
"There are four swords..."
"If we want to say 'there are four swords', or a white cave, then we have to mention a new term..."
Caramel Tang pondered for a long time and finally decided to speak, "Xu Xiaoshou, do you know about the 'Jinzhao Prison Sea'?"
"I've only heard of 'Jinzhao'..."
Xu Xiaoshou was calm on the surface, but his heart was already turbulent.
really!
The secret of the White Cave, and it’s very exciting!
With just one noun at the beginning, he could think of many things.
White Skeleton, Ember Sky Flame, White Flame...
How could such cultivation resources that are completely consistent with one's own Jizhao Tianfen appear from the white cave?
Now, the direction seems to be clear.
Also, Sang Lao's pointless mission, and the embarrassed saint's ability to burn the sky and boil the sea...
"Go on!"
Xu Xiaoshou was so frightened that he no longer dared to speculate on his own. He wanted to explain the true situation.
Caramel Sugar took a breath and said: "The 'Jinzhao Prison Sea' is both a different-dimensional space, but unlike the White Cave, its danger level is almost the highest in the world, ranking among the Seven Breaks in the Mainland."
One of the forbidden ones.”
Seven Cutoffs is another new term...
Xu Xiaoshou nodded without interrupting Caramel Tang's explanation, and his eyes signaled her to continue.
"Every time a 'Seven Forbidden'-level interdimensional space is opened, it is almost always a disaster."
"And the last time the 'Jinzhao Hell Sea' appeared, it was here."
Caramel Sugar stretched out his finger, pointed at the ground, and said: "Or to put it another way, the predecessor of the White Cave was the 'Jinzhao Hell Sea'!"
Sure enough... Xu Xiaoshou's expression became serious and he remained silent.
Caramel Sugar said: "It is impossible to experience such forbidden areas. Just to seal the 'Jinzhao Hell Sea', the Holy Temple has sacrificed a lot of red and white clothes, and countless masters."
"In the end, it was successfully sealed."
"But this is all temporary..."
After sighing in surprise, Caramel Sugar continued: "The reason why the 'Seven-Determined Forbidden' is the 'Seven-Determined Forbidden' is because it has recurring properties."
"Once the 'Jinzhao Hell Sea' is completely closed in the White Cave, it will not disappear."
"On the contrary, it will appear in another place next time."
"By then, not only will the location of its appearance be unknown, but the level of danger will have to climb to another level."
"So, in order not to completely close the extra-dimensional space of the 'Jinzhao Hell Sea', the Holy Temple can only choose to seal it, weaken it, and break it into pieces, but it cannot be completely broken..."
"It's such a tortuous process, can you understand?" Caramel Sugar glanced at the young man who seemed to be very calm.
"I know."
Xu Xiaoshou nodded.
This kind of thing already sounds terrifying.
It can't be completely destroyed, but it has to be sealed...
It's like trying to capture a throne with all your strength... No, half-saint!
You can't kill, you can only capture.
It’s hard to catch the throne, let alone a half-saint?
This degree must be grasped well. You can imagine how much effort the Holy Temple has put into it.
Caramel Sugar went on to explain: "Sealing and weakening are the only ways to prevent the recurrence of the 'Seven Breaks Ban'."
"And what the Holy Temple Church does is to use the Suppressing Treasure to suppress it and reduce the danger level of the 'Jinzhao Hell Sea' year by year."
"So, there were four swords and the Cardinal Pan, and they were born."
Xu Xiaoshou's heart moved, and he asked: "To digress, what is the function of the Tianshu Disk...?"
"This is amazing."
Caramel Sugar chuckled: "The Taoist Palace Master personally led the Taoist Department to build the 'Tian Cardinal Disk', which is completely in line with the way of heaven in the small world of 'Jizhao Prison Sea'."
"Through this machine disk, you can control the way of heaven and achieve the reduction of the way of heaven..."
"You don't understand, do you?"
Caramel Tang looked at Xu Xiaoshou's confused face and knew that this guy didn't have enough knowledge.
"In other words, it is to carry out downgrade strikes from the world level, and then achieve the gradual weakening of the dangerous level of different dimensions."
"Similarly, the Holy Emperor can control the way of heaven, and then suppress the development of the five regions of the Holy Continent, making it impossible for everyone to break through to the semi-holy realm... understand?"
Xu Xiaoshou's face instantly turned as white as paper, and his heart was beating so fast that it was about to jump out of his chest.
What kind of bullshit metaphor is this?
"Your alternative statement...is very problematic!"
Xu Xiaoshou licked his dry lips and said, "Let's not talk about the white cave first. Let's discuss your metaphor."
Caramel Sugar suddenly laughed.
"Xu Xiaoshou, you are too suspicious, it's just a metaphor."
