The north wind howls, and the chill of winter invades everything in the world. In the vast wilderness and high mountains, only the dead branches are left, stretching tenaciously in this cold and bleak winter.
A ray of pink light suddenly fell on the wasteland, frightening a group of birds and fleeing in all directions.
Phew~
A pool of bright red blood dyed the dead leaves in front of Tian Qingdaozi crimson.
After swallowing the healing elixir, Tian Qingdaozi's complexion finally regained some of its rosy color. He glanced at the bright red on the ground, and a flash of mysterious light instantly turned it into ashes. And in those charming star eyes,
But there was a sense of hatred and murderous intent.
"Heaven's punishment is waiting for me. Today's revenge will be avenged in the future."
The enchanting voice spread throughout the wasteland. But there was a strong hatred and murderous intent in the scream, which made people shudder.
After casually looking around, Tian Qingdaozi set up a sensory barrier around him with his hand, and began to regulate his breath and heal his injuries.
After a long time, she finally straightened out the chaotic breath in her body, and finally let out a long breath of relief.
At this moment, a stream of light flew towards Tian Qing Daozi in the barrier.
"Um?"
He raised his jade hand lightly, and in the next moment, the stream of light had receded in Tian Qingdaozi's hand, and a communication talisman appeared.
"A message from the Xuanyuan Royal Family."
Liu Ye's curved eyebrows moved slightly, and an idea fell on the communication talisman.
After a moment, a devilish smile appeared on her pale and pretty face.
"Haha, my aunt was worried about how to heal this injury as soon as possible, so Xuanyuan old man sent a pillow. It is really wonderful. Hahaha."
After saying that, it turned into a gust of fragrant wind and disappeared into the wilderness of the mountains and forests. The stream of light in the sky rushed straight towards the Imperial Capital.
At this time, in the Imperial Capital, Xie Heng and Xiaobai looked at the various pedestrians walking on the street, but they did not feel at all comfortable. Instead, there was a bit of solemnity in their brows.
"Why are there suddenly so many Qi practitioners in the Imperial Capital?"
Once again, Xie Heng watched a Qi practitioner in the foundation building stage passing by and looking at Xiaobai. Xie Heng thought to himself.
"Is it because of the previous battle with the ancestor of the Xuanyuan family that these casual cultivators were attracted to the Imperial Capital?"
But in an instant, Xie Heng rejected this idea.
Feeling the mixed Yuan Qi in the Imperial Capital, Xie Heng couldn't figure out anything for a while, so he had no choice but to pull Xiao Bai and quickly head towards Wuyi Lane.
Dude, dunk, dunk.
"Who?"
Squeak~
Seeing two figures, one large and one small, standing outside the door, Uncle Fu, who opened the door, felt a little confused and frowned and asked:
"Excuse me, who are you looking for?"
"Haha. Old man, please tell the master of your mansion that I am an old friend of Kunlun and come to visit."
Looking at the somewhat honest and honest concierge, Xie Heng smiled faintly and a clear voice slowly sounded.
Xie Heng's voice made people feel a sense of peace, and Uncle Fu's initial defensiveness suddenly faded away.
"Oh, okay, sir, please wait a moment. Let me go and report to the master."
"Thank you."
Looking at Gongyang's house with its door closed again, Xiaobai turned around and asked:
"Xiao Daojun, can't we just go in directly? Why do we have to wait at the gate? Last time we went to Prince Jin's Mansion, didn't we go in directly?"
"Xiao Bai, this moment is the same as that moment."
Xie Heng glanced around and explained lightly.
"Nowadays, in the imperial capital, the situation is changing and everything is mixed. It's better to keep a low profile. Besides, we have something to ask for, so we can't be rude."
Seeing Xiao Bai's half-understanding expression, Xie Heng stopped explaining too much and waited quietly outside the door.
The door of Gongyang's house opened again. Gongyang Shou, with a rosy complexion, looked at Xie Heng in front of the door with excitement, and said with a hearty smile:
"Haha, you really are an immortal master."
"Gong Yangshou has missed his welcome. I hope the immortal master will forgive me."
After saying that, he bowed and saluted Xie Heng.
"Lord Gongyang, there is no need to be polite."
A gentle force lifted Gong Yangshou up.
"Thank you, Master Immortal."
"Master Immortal, please come inside."
When he entered Gongyang's house, Xie Heng's hand was filled with a mysterious light that penetrated the walls of the mansion and laid down a shielding barrier.
In the hall, after shooing away several people waiting around, Gong Yangshou once again leaned forward and bowed.
"Gong Yangshou thanks the immortal master for saving my life that day."
"It doesn't matter, it doesn't matter. It's the responsibility of monks like us to eliminate demons and defend the Tao. Mr. Gongyang doesn't have to worry about it."
Xie Heng helped Gong Yangshou up and said with a smile.
"Moreover, when Xie came here this time, he went to the Three Treasures Hall for nothing."
Glancing at Gong Yangshou beside him, Xie Heng asked lightly.
"This time, Mr. Xie mainly wanted to inquire about what is so special about the ancestral jade pendant that the demon priest of the Taoist Sect was looking for. He even went to great lengths to find it."
"Please also ask Mr. Gongyang to help clarify Xie's doubts."
Listening to Xie Heng's calm voice, he seemed just a little curious.
But Gong Yangshou knew that although the man in front of him was a man of the right path, he was a ruthless character who dared to enter the palace even if he disagreed with him. At the same time, he also knew in his heart that this man had some connection with his grandson.
For a moment, Gong Yangshou couldn't help but feel a little hesitant.
"What? Mr. Gongyang, are you worried?"
Xie Heng's calm voice slowly echoed in the hall, bringing Gong Yangshou out of his thoughts again.
"To be honest, this matter is a secret of my Gongyang family."
Finally, after careful consideration in his mind, Gongyang Shou slowly revealed the secret that had been passed down by the Gongyang family for dozens of generations.
"Oh, Xie is all ears."
It was Xiaobai on the side who was attracted by this sentence and looked at Gong Yangshou curiously.
"This matter starts with my ancestors of the Gongyang family."
In Gong Yangshou's deep voice, the glory of the ancestors of the Gong Yang family was narrated.
The Gongyang family originally had the surname Ji and the name Gaoyang. In ancient times, it was a branch of the bloodline of Emperor Zhuanxu.
After Emperor Zhuanxu led the human race to complete the Jedi Heavenly Power, he passed away not long after. Eventually, the once illustrious family of the Emperor of Heaven also began to gradually fall apart.
Later, many powerful men from the human race fought in Gaoyang to compete for the position of Emperor of Heaven.
In order to avoid this disaster and follow Emperor Zhuanxu's dying instructions, the ancestors of the Gongyang family brought their tribe to the Imperial Capital and settled there again.
The jade pendant was originally a personal possession of Emperor Zhuanxu. It was brought out from Gaoyang by the first generation head of the Gongyang family and passed down from generation to generation as the ancestral jade pendant of the Gongyang family.
"I didn't expect that this ancestral ancient jade was actually a personal possession of Emperor Zhuanxu. No wonder the people of the Dao Sacrifice Sect would work so hard for a mortal family."
Thinking of this, Xie Heng made up his mind that this kind of jade pendant must not fall into the hands of the Demon Cult.
"Unexpectedly, Mr. Gongyang is actually a descendant of the Emperor of Heaven. No wonder his soul is so strong. He can withstand the burning of the soul refining lamp and only suffers from weakness. Xie is disrespectful."
As Gongyang Shou gradually came to tell about his ancestor's deeds, Xie Heng and Xiaobai stood in awe, and Xie Heng even cupped his fists and saluted.
"Master Immortal, you're welcome."
Gong Yangshou shook his head slightly and smiled helplessly.
"One hundred thousand years have passed since the deeds of our ancestors."
"Now, I am just an ordinary human being. As for the bloodline of the Emperor of Heaven, I'd better not mention it again. I can't bear it."
"My Gongyang family originally followed the instructions of the Emperor of Heaven and kept the Jade Pendant of the Emperor of Heaven on our behalf, waiting for the destined person. However, one hundred thousand years have passed, and the destined person our ancestors mentioned has never appeared."
Speaking of this, Gong Yangshou's voice was full of bitterness.
"If the immortal master hadn't asked in person this time, I would have been prepared to take this secret to the coffin. In this way, innocent people will not be harmed, and future generations will not be harmed."
Recalling the members of the Gongyang family who were massacred by the demon sect that day, Gongyang Shou's eyes flashed with sadness, and his face was already full of tears.
"People cannot be resurrected after death, Mr. Gongyang, please express your condolences."
Looking at Gong Yangshou's heartbroken expression, Xie Heng also sighed slightly and softly comforted him.
Descendants of the bloodline of the Emperor of Heaven, and the most powerful bloodline of the Emperor of Heaven throughout the ages. This is both glory and shackles.
If people in the world of immortality know about it, even death will become a luxury for anyone with blood ties to the Gongyang family.
At this time, Gong Yangshou continued:
"Master Immortal, now that the Demon Cult has come to our door, the secrets of my Gongyang family must be known to them."
"Instead of letting the relics of our ancestors fall into the hands of people from the Demon Sect, it would be better for me to give these things to the Immortal Master. Please ask the Immortal Master to search for the legendary destined person on my Gongyang family's behalf."
"It can be regarded as repaying the immortal master for saving the old man's life."
After saying that, at some point, a silver knife appeared in Gong Yangshou's hand and slashed towards his stomach.
Not long after, Gong Yangshou's somewhat shriveled and flabby belly was already covered with blood. And his face was already covered with cold sweat.
A protective spiritual light fell on Gong Yangshou, helping him relieve his pain.
"Thank you, thank you Immortal Master."
Gong Yangshou looked at Xie Heng, an ugly smile appeared on his pale face, and his voice was even trembling.
"Hmm~"
The next moment, a blood-colored jade pendant two fingers wide and one inch long was taken out from his chest and abdomen by Gong Yangshou.
"Immortal Master..."
"Give."
"Jade pendant, Emperor of Heaven's jade pendant."
Looking at the bloody jade pendant in Gong Yangshou's hand, Xie Heng was really shocked. He never expected that the ancestral jade pendant of the Gong Yang family was actually hidden in his body.
No wonder the people from the Sacrificial Dao Sect searched all over Gongyang's house and couldn't find it. It was really dark under the lamp.
As he waved his hand, a spiritual light flashed across Gong Yangshou's abdominal wound, and the originally bloody wound disappeared immediately.
He took out a magic pill and gave it to Gong Yangshou to swallow. Seeing Gong Yangshou recover as before, Xie Heng felt relieved.
Xiao Bai on the side took the ancestral jade pendant of the Gongyang family in his hand, waved his hand to wipe the blood on it, looked at the jade pendant carved with dragons and phoenixes in front of him, and said with some confusion:
"Old man, this jade pendant of yours doesn't seem to have anything special."
Hearing this, Gong Yangshou also had a bitter look on his face.
"For so many years, the successive heads of my Gongyang family have never figured out the secret of this jade pendant."
After saying that, Gongyang Shou sighed helplessly.
At this time, Xie Heng looked dull, which confused Xiaobai and Gong Yangshou.
