In the early morning, the whole city fell into tranquility.
Diligent people such as Ye Feng and He Huan have already begun endless cultivation.
And characters like Jiang Ziwei and Shang Li who are unwilling to be lonely also find their own gentle hometown in the middle of the night.
On the long street, the watchman who was responsible for the night watch was holding a gong and a wooden mallet, and he was banging the gong.
Walking, walking, the watchman, who fell into a state of sleepwalking, suddenly felt a cold wind coming, and could not help but shrink his neck subconsciously.
"God, how could such a freezing temperature suddenly appear in the dog days of summer?" Realizing that the coldness had disappeared in an instant, the watchman couldn't help but stick out his tongue, no longer daring to wander around, and walked quickly towards home.
If you walk a lot at night, you will always encounter ghosts. The watchman fell ill in bed on the second day after returning home, and died three days later.
The cold wind that frightened the watchman was certainly not the work of a ghost, nor was it an invasion of cold wind, but a powerful Sword King, flying past the watchman in an instant at a speed that was so fast that it was difficult for the naked eye to distinguish.
The figure, carrying the cold temperature of thirty-nine days, arrived at the Sword Emperor Hall at an extremely fast speed.
That is, at the moment when his feet had just stepped onto the roof tiles of the Sword Emperor Hall, bursts of loud shouts erupted from the Sword Emperor Hall.
"Who is it? Since you are here, why bother drinking the cold air on the roof." From the voice of the speaker, it can be heard that this person is Sima Tang.
As soon as he finished speaking, in addition to the unparalleled aura erupting from Sima Tang's body, there was also an extremely powerful aura spurting out from the room.
"Qin Ruoyang?" The man on the roof groaned. The sound was just like the temperature radiating from his body, giving people a biting chill.
Hearing the words of the man on the roof, Sima Tang and Qin Ruoyang's expressions changed at the same time.
Almost at the same time, the two people rushed into the courtyard through the door and window, focusing their eyes on the figure as holy as the moonlight on the roof.
"Ruyan, is it really you?" Qin Ruoyang let out a low cry of joy.
Beside him, Sima Tang looked at the beautiful figure on the roof, with a hint of excitement on his face.
"Ye Ruyan, you are really Ye Ruyan!" Sima Tang called in a low voice.
Facing Sima Tang and Qin Ruoyang's unabashed true feelings, the woman standing on the roof with her face covered in white gauze flashed a cold light in her eyes.
"Ye Ruyan died back then, and only the Ice and Snow Saint is left in this world!" The woman said slowly, leaping lightly from the roof to the ground.
The woman's body is extremely light, like white snow falling in the sky.
When the woman's feet landed on the ground, Qin Ruoyang happily stepped forward to greet her, but finally stopped five meters away from the woman.
Even for a fourth-level sword king like him, he could not help but feel the cold aura on Ye Ruyan's body, which was as cold as ice, and his breathing became unsmooth.
Thinking of the beautiful girl who was so famous in the ten southeastern countries and even spread to the Wuluo Kingdom in the Central Plains, turned into an eternal piece of ice, Qin Ruoyang felt an indescribable sadness in his heart.
"Ruyan, where have you been these years? After you left the ten southeastern countries, I traveled to more than thirty countries to find you, but I couldn't get any news from you." Qin Ruoyang sighed.
Facing the emotional Qin Ruoyang and the cowardly Sima Tang, Ye Ruyan's eyes did not show any emotion.
She ignored Qin Ruoyang's gaze, looked directly at Sima Tang and said: "Sima, I heard that you are going to open the life and death sitting and forgetting level again? This time, I have only one request, that is, when you open the life and death sitting and forgetting level,
Send my two daughters inside. Whether they can survive the test of life and death in Siwangguan depends entirely on God's will. Even if they die, I will not blame you."
"You have a daughter?" Qin Ruoyang let out a low cry.
Looking at Ye Ruyan, Qin Ruoyang's heart was filled with sadness and loss.
Over the years, he has always used the excuse of being busy with cultivation to reject the kindness of any woman.
He did this just to wait for one person. Although he knew that there might not be a result with the person he was waiting for, he still waited perseveringly.
However, he never expected that after so many years, when the old person he had never forgotten appeared in front of him again, he would actually learn such news.
"She has a daughter? She has a daughter?" For a moment, Qin Ruoyang felt like he was struck by five thunders, and he didn't know what to say for a long time.
Compared with Qin Ruoyang, Sima Tang, who was more afraid of Ye Ruyan than fond of Ye Ruyan, did not have much fluctuation in his heart.
Back then, Ye Ruyan was the most beautiful woman in the ten southeastern countries. There were tens of thousands of people who liked her and secretly admired her.
Although Sima Tang can be considered one of Ye Ruyan's admirers, he is the kind of person who never reveals his inner thoughts. It is precisely because of this that when he meets Ye Ruyan again, he is not so gloomy.
"Miss Ye, there are many dangers in the Life and Death Pass, and the chance of death is much greater than the outside world. Are you really sure you want your daughter to enter there?" Sima Tang asked.
Ye Ruyan nodded, her face covered by white gauze showing no emotion at all.
"Yes. I said there is no grudge between life and death. Even if they die inside, I will not blame you." Ye Ruyan said coldly.
After saying this, she glanced at Qin Ruoyang and said coldly: "Also, I hope you can keep my coming here a secret. I don't want to hear any news about my present life."
After saying that, Ye Ruyan rose into the air lightly.
Her flying posture was like that of a Lingbo fairy, with a hint of otherworldly fireworks, quietly disappearing into the dark night sky.
Qin Ruoyang woke up from his daze after a cup of tea after Ye Ruyan left.
Shaking his head vigorously, Qin Ruoyang asked uncertainly: "Old Sima, was it really Ru Yan who came just now?"
Seeing Sima Tang nodding affirmatively, Qin Ruoyang once again showed a hint of disappointment in his eyes.
"Eighteen years later, I thought that when I saw her again, I would definitely express my love loudly, but now I know that in the end, I am still a coward, and I still dare not say those words." After sighing several times, Qin Ruoyang turned around and walked into the Sword Emperor.
Hall lobby.
Even when he sat on the chair, he was still sighing. He didn't know whether he was sighing at his own cowardice or sighing at the fact that the woman he loved deeply was already married.
Seeing Qin Ruoyang losing his composure, Sima Tang did not laugh at him, but was filled with pity in his heart.
Beauty brings disaster, and Ye Ruyan is a typical example that proves this saying.
In the ten southeastern countries and in the Tianyuan Continent, not only Qin Ruoyang is obsessed with Ye Ruyan but has no regrets, there are probably thousands of people who will sigh loudly because of the name Ye Ruyan.
As far as Sima Tang knew, the heads of the four major sects of the Yin Shang Kingdom were all loyal supporters of Ye Ruyan.
At that time, she didn't know why Ye Ruyan, who had such a prominent status, entered the Yin Shang Kingdom, but she knew clearly that not long after entering the Yin Shang Kingdom, Ye Ruyan completely disappeared from the world.
"Ye Ruyan's daughter should be as stunningly beautiful as her?" Sima Tang thought to himself.
Although Ye Ruyan has made it clear to him that whether his daughter can survive the test of life and death, he will not blame him, but for the sake of Ye Ruyan's kindness, he will also make arrangements for Ye Ruyan's daughter.
"Isn't Ye Feng also entering the stage of life and death? Let him go with Ye Ruyan's daughters. In this way, they young people can take care of each other." Sima Tang secretly planned in his heart.
Thinking that the day after tomorrow would be the day when the meditation on life and death would be activated, he did not dare to waste too much time, so he quickly returned to the bedroom, closed his eyes, adjusted his breath, and fell into focused penance.
In the residence of Yin Shang Kingdom, Ye Feng, who was working hard to cultivate his vitality, had no idea that on such a night, someone had already decided on his partner who would enter the realm of life and death.
If he knew that someone was forcibly grouping him with two women tonight, he didn't know what he would think.
If he knew that those two women had once had a relationship with him, I'm afraid his mood would be even more complicated.
In the dark night, a hint of cold breath quietly enveloped the residence of Yin Shang Kingdom.
Sensing the cold breath, Shang Li, who was lying on the bed and snoring, suddenly opened his eyes.
After scanning the ceiling for a moment, he turned over and continued to sleep, seemingly unaware of the cold air.
The cold air was deliberately concealed and therefore became extremely weak. No one except Shang Li noticed it.
On the roof of the Yin Shang Kingdom's residence, where the cold air came from, Ye Ruyan looked at the people in Hai Wuya in the room below, with a strange look in her eyes.
After secretly watching Hai Wuya's people on the roof for a long time, Ye Ruyan left as if she was startled.
It wasn't until her figure disappeared hundreds of miles away that Shang Li fell into a deep sleep, and then woke up from his deep sleep again.
"Huh, fifth-level sword emperor. I really don't know why this woman has disappeared for so many years and comes back again and again." Shang Li complained dissatisfiedly.
He sat on the bed, stretched out, and then lay down straight on the bed, snoring loudly from his mouth and nose.
On the second day, which was the day before the gate of life and death was opened, everyone from the Yin and Shang Kingdom gathered together and held a short meeting.
During the meeting, Shang Li decided that this time he would only let Ye Feng, He Huan, and Jiang Ziwei enter the state of life and death.
Originally, Wu Hao, Qiu Yang and others also planned to enter the realm of life and death, seeking to break through the realm of the Sword King. But for some unknown reason, Shang Li directly rejected several people's requests, leaving them to sit there depressed.
The Pass of Life and Death is the most mysterious and exciting holy land for sword cultivation in the ten southeastern countries.
Over the years, every sword cultivator who has survived the hardship of life and death has experienced earth-shaking changes in his or her own strength.
Thinking that if Ye Feng and the others can stand out from the one percent chance of survival, they will definitely become the pillars of the Yin Shang Kingdom in the future. Even Wu Hao and Qiu Yang can't help but envy Ye Feng and the others at this moment. transport.
