"You will act privately, and you were originally part of my plan. Cutting off your arm is punishment, so let's just let it go." The man in linen said calmly.
Hearing the words "Let's give it up", Ling Xiao let out a sigh of relief. The big stone in his heart finally fell to the ground, and his tense mind was relieved.
"Thank you Lord for your mercy. I will burn my heart and mind to pieces and burn up my useful body to smooth the way for Your Lord."
In response to such an expression of loyalty, the man in linen clothes just smiled and said nothing.
His gaze moved forward along the water of Luohe River, passing through layers of fog, as if he was concentrating on observing the figure who had just left.
Ling Xiao knelt beside him, his mind spinning.
"My lord has always been a dragon that sees its head but never its tail. How come he appears here today? Is he actually interested in that person surnamed Liang?"
Thinking of this, I feel a little incredible.
Although Liang Yan is extremely talented, he is just a monk who has overcome five difficulties. If it were not for his fellow swordsmanship, he would not even be able to penetrate his own Dharma Eyes, let alone the man in linen clothes in front of him.
"The heart of the Lord cannot be guessed. How can I recognize the changes in the way of heaven with my mortal eyes? Since the Lord is interested in this person, why not let me take the initiative to ask for help and capture this person, which can be regarded as atonement for my sins."
Thinking of this, Ling Xiao took the initiative and said: "My lord, are you going to catch Liang Yan and the others now?"
The man in linen didn't pay attention.
His eyes were deep, penetrating through layers of fog, and he seemed to see clearly the mysteries of heaven, many changes, and he suddenly laughed.
"It turned out to be a living dead, no wonder, no wonder"
Ling Xiao saw him talking to himself and didn't dare to speak out, so he could only kneel down and bow his head.
After a while, the man in sackcloth came back to his senses, glanced at Ling Xiao beside him, and said with a smile: "Are you confused as to why I appear here?"
Ling Xiao hurriedly said: "The Lord's holy will, my subordinates dare not speculate!"
A trace of disappointment flashed in the eyes of the man in sackcloth, and he said calmly: "What's the point of telling you? I played chess with Linghu, calculated all the secrets, and had the whole situation under control. This was a sure-win situation, but the way of heaven is impermanent, and the situation is desperate.
There is still a glimmer of hope."
"This glimmer of life evolved into the Seven Stars of Heaven, which fell on the chessboard and became seven chess pieces that I cannot deduce."
When Ling Xiao heard this, he was slightly startled and said subconsciously: "Is there anyone else whom the Lord cannot deduce?"
The man in linen smiled and said: "These seven chess pieces have no clear reference. They may be a certain person, an object, or something. In short, there are seven places that are not under my control. And these seven pieces
The chess piece is Linghu Bai's only hope for a comeback."
Ling Xiao understood instantly and murmured: "Could it be that the person named Liang is also one of the seven chess pieces?"
"As soon as I saw him here today, it should be clear. He is the body of a living dead, so he is not included in my deduction. I never discovered before that in just a few hundred years, he has grown to where he is now."
After hearing this, Ling Xiao smiled and said, "So what? No matter how much he grows, he has only managed to survive five disasters. Since he is discovered by the Lord, he will naturally die."
"Of course, I am here today to settle this matter. Any unstable factors that may affect the trend of the chess game, I will nip them in the cradle."
The man in sackcloth said this, paused, and then said: "But before killing him, I have to verify a question first."
Ling Xiao was eager to achieve success and asked hurriedly: "I don't know what problem your Majesty has, but I would like to share your worries with you."
"Haha, you've done a great job."
The man in sackcloth smiled and said: "Your sword energy White Snake will soon drive him into a desperate situation, and then it will be time to verify my question."
"this"
Ling Xiao suddenly realized that it was just as the man in sackcloth said, he was part of his plan to take action privately, and the reason why he was punished was just because he violated the "rules".
"My Lord has a wonderful plan, and I will obey you." Ling Xiao said from the bottom of his heart.
"Is it a magic trick? Not necessarily." The man in sackcloth shook his head and said calmly: "These seven secrets are where I can't guess."
Ling Xiao was puzzled and asked: "Since the Lord knows this, with your strength, why don't you just take action and destroy all seven hidden stones?"
"You do not understand."
The man in sackcloth sighed: "The way of heaven is impermanent, and there is still one escape from the four nines of heaven's interpretation! Therefore, the way of heaven will never be completely deduced by people. Six of Linghu Bai's seven secrets are false, and only one will
Fatal. If I forcefully destroy most of the seven chess pieces, then the way of heaven will evolve again, and the entire chess game will be overthrown and restarted. By then, everything I have arranged will be in vain, and Linghu Bai has another chance.
Capital to compete with me."
After hearing this, Ling Xiao was greatly shocked.
In his eyes, the man in sackcloth was omnipotent, but there were things he could not deduce.
The four words "the impermanence of heaven" were deeply imprinted in his mind
After being in a daze for a moment, Ling Xiao finally came to his senses and understood the intention of the man in sackcloth.
"So the Lord is not in a hurry to kill him. He wants to verify this chess piece first to see if it is Linghu Bai's real secret piece?"
"good."
The man in linen clothes smiled slightly and said: "This person has been forced into a desperate situation by my plan. It depends on whether he can survive this difficulty. If he dies, it means that the person Linghu Bai relies on is not him. I want to make another decision."
Search. If he is not dead, it means that he is the person entrusted by Linghu Bai, then I will personally kill him! No matter what, we must not leave any future troubles!"
"That's it!" Ling Xiao suddenly realized.
A ray of dim sunlight penetrated the dark clouds and fell on the man in linen, revealing his profile.
If there were monks from Nanxuan here, they would definitely be surprised.
Tianshui Canke, Wei Wuming, didn't he die on the battlefield long ago?
But it is said that in the turbulent river water, the sky-eating insects are galloping with all their strength.
Liang Yan and Wu Xin both sat cross-legged on the insect's back, with their palms touching each other, their spiritual power flowing, yin and yang merging, and constantly repairing the injuries in their bodies.
A big white snake composed of pure sword energy was chasing after him.
A day and a night had passed, and the white snake's arrogance remained unabated. Wherever the sword energy passed, it cut into waves in Luoshui.
"puff!"
Wuxin suddenly opened his eyes and spat out a mouthful of black water.
This was the poison of Luo Shui. She and Liang Yan worked together to force it out. It took them a day and a night to finally force it out of the body.
"Fortunately, you have inherited the lineage of Shennong, otherwise the poison of Luoshui that has invaded the body cannot be cured." Wu Xin said a little tiredly.
"Although the poison has been cured, you are currently weak and must rest for a period of time. You are not allowed to fight with others in a short period of time." Liang Yan said solemnly.
Wuxin smiled and said: "I also want to take a good rest, but the current situation does not allow it. Look at that stupid snake behind, it is eager to eat us alive."
Liang Yan frowned and looked back at the sword-qi white snake behind him.
"Although its momentum is not diminished now, it has actually been weakened a lot. It will last for another two days at most. After two days, at least 70% of the sword energy will be dissipated. I can easily disperse it."
"Well, to be on the safe side, it's better not to fight with it now." Wu Xin nodded.
After saying that, the two of them looked at the golden bell suspended in the sky in the distance.
Wu Xin looked puzzled: "Each of the eight major foreign races has an inherited treasure, and as far as I know, the inherited secret treasure of the Witch Clan is this 'Tian Wu Bell', but why does it appear here?"
"Perhaps the inherited treasure of the Wu clan is different from the other seven clans, and it has some special meaning." Liang Yan pondered.
"Is there any special significance?" Wu Xin recalled as he said, "Although I am a saint of the Zerg Controlling Clan, I am not one of their tribesmen after all, and I don't understand many secrets. Although I intend to read the ancient books of the tribe, what is quite interesting is that,
The ancestors of the Zerg Controllers seem to be very secretive about what happened a hundred thousand years ago, and the records of that period are almost blank."
Liang Yan narrowed his eyes slightly.
"Some secrets may be buried over time, but there are always clues left behind. If I guess correctly, the person who wants to reveal this secret now is Demon Lord Qingyun!"
"It is very possible that Wu Changqing and Demon Lord Qingyun are the same species. Since the 'Tian Wu Ling' appears here, those two people should be in front. However, we are not in good condition now and are being chased by sword energy behind us. We should not fight with him for the time being.
It's a good thing what happened to them." Wu Xin expressed his opinion.
"Um."
Liang Yan nodded, and while he was thinking about it, he suddenly saw a strange phenomenon in the sky.
The golden light falling from the clouds suddenly surged, as if it had burned out its last strength. Then there was a loud "rumbling" sound, and Luoshui set off a stormy sea, with ups and downs, even Liang Yan, who was thousands of miles away.
and Wuxin are both affected.
Facing a wave, the monks under the saints could not resist it. Fortunately, Liang Yan and Wuxin had the secret medicine of the Shennong family and had applied it to their entire bodies in advance, so they were not eroded by the poison of Luoshui.
Liang Yan concentrated his sword energy and split the huge waves in front of him. Looking from a distance, he saw a high mountain rising from the undulating sea.
Bathed in the golden light of the sky, this high mountain looked particularly solemn. An invisible sense of oppression came from far to near, causing both Liang Yan and Wu Xin to hold their breath and subconsciously did not dare to make a sound.
After a while, Liang Yan recovered from this invisible oppression and looked at the mountains in the distance, with a hint of excitement in his eyes.
"Is that the secret realm that Demon Lord Qingyun is looking for? He worked hard to collect eight stone slabs just to enter this place?"
"I want to see what kind of place this is!"
Liang Yan had a smile on his face, but a sharp light flashed in his eyes.
Wuxin saw this scene and knew that he and that man would have to fight, but there was nothing he could do about it. Fortunately, he was by his side. There was always a helper at the critical moment, so he would not have to fight alone.
Under the golden light, the mountains quickly rose from the bottom of the sea, and this golden light also exhausted its energy and gradually dissipated.
The dark clouds closed again and the whole sky became dim again.
The golden bell suspended in mid-air swayed gently, making a crisp sound of "ding a bell", and then fell downwards into a forest on a high mountain.
Because the distance was too far, Liang Yan could not clearly see the scene on that high mountain.
But he knew that Demon Lord Qingyun and the others had already started taking action.
The golden bell, the eight stone slabs and the blood of the eight tribes are the keys to the secret realm. Now that they have successfully opened the secret realm, they have probably entered it.
"Time is not waiting for me. Speed up and don't let Demon Lord Qingyun get there first." Liang Yan said solemnly.
Wuxin glanced at the sword-qi white snake behind him and nodded helplessly.
"good."
She did not hesitate and followed Liang Yan's instructions, ordering the sky-devouring insect to increase its speed to the extreme.
The two of them rode the wind and waves and glided on the Luo River for half a day. The surrounding water gradually opened up and finally entered the vast ocean.
The mountain that suddenly appeared was located on the sea three hundred miles away.
"We're almost there, but the white snake behind us is still chasing us. Do we want to land on the island?"
"Don't be in a hurry. Let's go near the island first. I will observe it with my spiritual sense and then make a plan." Liang Yan said in a deep voice.
"Um."
Wuxin immediately ordered the sky-eating insects to approach the island hanging alone on the sea.
But at this moment, dark clouds suddenly rolled in the sky, and the sound of thunder echoed through the sky.
"That is"
Wuxin looked up at the sky, with a look of uncertainty in his eyes.
The next moment, in her horrified eyes, thousands of thunderbolts fell from the sky, densely packed and majestic!
At this moment, electric snakes danced wildly in mid-air, and purple thunder roared, covering every corner of the eight-hundred-mile sea!
Rumble!
Hundreds of thunderbolts struck the sword energy white snake one after another, quickly scattering Ling Xiao's spirit snake sword energy. In just a moment, the hundred-foot-long white snake had shortened to more than ten feet long. The sword energy it originally contained
It is also dissipating rapidly.
Although it was still chasing Liang Yan, it obviously no longer posed a threat.
However, Liang Yan and Wu Xin's situation has not improved.
What replaced the white snake were the thunderbolts in mid-air, killing all living creatures in the sea without distinction or blind spots!
Even Ling Xiao's sword energy couldn't withstand it, which shows the power of these divine thunders!
At the critical moment, Liang Yan stood up.
He stood in front of Wu Xin, activated the "Shenxiao Sword Seal", and used his own body as a guide to suck all the purple thunder that hit him into his body.
Rumble!
Thunderbolts fell on Liang Yan's head one after another. The power of this kind of thunder was even more powerful than the three thunders of Shenxiao. Even if Liang Yan had the "Sword Seal of Shenxiao" in his body, it was still difficult to resist.
In just a moment, many parts of his body were already burnt black, his face was pale, and a line of blood flowed from the corner of his mouth.
Wu Xin saw this scene and felt like a knife was in his heart. However, his strength had not yet been restored and he was unable to help at all.
But her consciousness was in a trance for a moment, and a certain scene in her memory seemed to overlap with that in front of her.
Those were three back figures, standing side by side, also in the vast ocean, also under the dense purple thunder, and the three people also used their own bodies as a guide to absorb the purple thunder falling from the sky.
"Three Ancestors of Shenxiao?"
Wuxin suddenly woke up, came back to his senses, and said in surprise: "So I should have thought of this! The strong wind that appeared when Luoshui erupted was the 'Feng Sha', and the purple thunder that appeared now is the 'Xinglei', Luoshui, Feng
There are all evil spirits and punishment thunders. It turns out that Wusheng Valley is the Wusheng Island back then!"
