"I said..." Li Xiuming took a deep breath, bowed his hands and said, "Miss, I wish you good health and prosperity."
"Thank you."
A hint of smile appeared on Luo Xue's lips.
At this time, several people had arrived at an open area. There were many Xianlu soldiers standing guard around, and not far ahead were a group of monsters.
The monsters kept looking nervously in the direction of Xianlu. Most of them had experienced the era when the Xianlu Army was invincible and had some instinctive fear of Xianlu.
A super killer weapon that can tear through deep space, appears and disappears mysteriously, and even the Monkey King cannot escape its damage. It is indeed worthy of fear.
It was not until Luo Xue and Li Guijiao appeared that the monsters breathed a sigh of relief and hurried over to greet them.
"Miss, did that old bitch give you any trouble?"
As soon as the old ape opened his mouth, he almost caused the surrounding Xianlu Army to take action. It was not until Li Xiuming gave him a crazy look that he slightly withdrew his weapons.
"Don't worry, the Immortal Emperor agreed to our conditions." Luo Xue smiled slightly, "You are familiar with the Treasure House and the Nangong clan, so don't worry too much. I also have a few acquaintances there, and I can ask them to come to the Wilderness to discuss specific matters."
"good!"
The monsters cheered. They were all looking forward to the prospect that Luo Xue had described to them before.
If they were to use their abilities to deal with humans, they would probably be eaten until only bones were left.
The monster tribes can feel more at ease now that they can do business with the Nangong clan.
"But... I have to leave for a while." Luo Xue said, "To the imperial capital."
The monsters were all stunned and looked at Luo Xue in disbelief.
"Don't worry about me, it's just the price you have to pay for some things."
Luo Xue smiled at the monsters, but her smile looked somewhat miserable.
As if the price she paid was herself.
Chapter 212: Leave more words for us in the future
Shortly after the meeting, Emperor Dugu announced to the entire Great Qin Dynasty that he was ending his southern tour and preparing to return to the imperial capital with the Xianlu Army.
At the same time, he also ordered to stop all operations to search for the little princess, including the cancellation of the bounty order. This move made many monks who paid a lot of price to track down the whereabouts of Princess Snow very upset.
But... it doesn't change anything.
As for why he stopped the search, Emperor Dugu explained to the world that since Xue'er wanted to leave the imperial palace, he should let her go. This was the freedom she deserved.
But people don’t think so.
More and more rumors about the hypocrisy of Emperor Dugu emerged, saying that his doting on his daughter was actually an exploitation, and that he just wanted to use this as an excuse to travel to the wilderness in the south.
Once such rumors appeared, they spread rapidly, and became more and more outrageous as they spread, to the point where it was said that Emperor Dugu had actually been abusing Princess Snow.
These rumors even reached the imperial palace. In an instant, rumors spread throughout the palace, and many palace maids and guards would mention them in their spare time.
The rumor storm was not slightly calmed until the emperor and empress personally ordered the punishment of those who spread the rumor and came forward to refute it.
And Emperor Dugu never made any response... In fact, he didn't need to make any response. Rumors were just rumors after all, and no one dared to gossip in front of him.
Even the people from the ancient tribes didn't dare to do that.
The establishment of the Great Qin Dynasty was fought over in mountains of corpses and seas of blood, with Emperor Dugu having the most blood on his hands. He was an emperor who practiced the ways of an emperor, not a puppet controlled by the ancient clans.
If Emperor Dugu had not yet returned to the Imperial Palace, these rumors would never have spread to the Imperial Capital, let alone the Imperial Palace.
However, Emperor Dugu did not seem to be in a hurry. He still led the Xianlu Army to tour the wilderness according to the established route, but the destination of the voyage gradually changed from the direction of leaving the wilderness.
The disturbance outside the wilderness cannot affect the wilderness, and this meeting also caused a lot of impact within the wilderness.
Luo Xue's mechanical smile that day left a very deep impression on the hearts of the monsters present. Coupled with her last words, they had to leave the wilderness and go to the imperial capital for a period of time for this transaction.
Where is the Imperial Capital? The Imperial Capital is the lair of the Immortal Emperor!
Isn't this a typical hostage
No matter what Luo Xue's actual status is in the wilderness, her position and achievements are here.
He ended the chaos and fighting in the wilderness that had lasted from ancient times to thousands of years ago, personally solved countless environmental problems in the wilderness, and set up a super formation covering the entire wilderness to protect everything in the wilderness.
Even the hidden saints in the wilderness have received a lot of favors from her. To the wilderness, Luo Xue is like a reincarnated saint.
But she, for the sake of a wild future, had to become a hostage...
Especially that smile which had become too stiff because the synchronization was turned off. I don't know how many joys and sorrows, sadness and pain the monsters had imagined.
The monsters couldn't bear to disturb Luo Xue, so they didn't say anything at the time, but just asked Luo Xue to go back and rest first.
Then, during the period that followed, several of the most powerful monster tribes took the lead in holding a meeting to discuss this matter without telling Luo Xue.
As for Luo Xue...
Her mission actually ended here.
The next step is to wait for Emperor Dugu to return to the imperial capital. She will send Li Guijiao's puppet over to serve as the mechanical and electrical brother, and she will be able to move freely for the rest of the time.
Luo Xue did not forget that she had a little disciple left at Nangong Holy Land, so she had to bring Dugu Xue back.
Luo Xue could vaguely guess why Emperor Dugu was sailing so slowly in the wilderness. He should be arranging matters concerning the Immortal Slaughter. If he returned to the imperial capital, too many eyes would be watching him, and any movement at this time would easily be noticed.
However, the one who benefited the most from this transaction was probably Li Guijiao.
Not long after they came back, Emperor Dugu teleported the gift of Immortal Slaughter to the location specified by Luo Xue through Guixu. Afterwards, Li Guijiao used the teleportation array to bring it back to the dungeon and began to study it day and night.
In Li Guijiao's exquisite formation deconstruction technique, the essence of Xianlu gradually emerged, and the real principle of its engine was very familiar to Luo Xue.
—Combining and transforming the chaotic flow of spiritual energy.
The spiritual power between heaven and earth cannot be used directly. Also unusable are attacks released by other cultivators using spiritual power, as well as... natural disasters.
The first is too many impurities, the second is excessive violence, and natural disasters are both. These can be collectively referred to as the turbulence of spiritual power.
However, Xianlu's engine can integrate these turbulent spiritual forces and output power effectively, thus achieving its powerful foundation in all aspects.
Luo Xue had seen similar engines before.
"Suspended high tower engine..."
Luo Xue was stunned for a moment when she took the information sorted out by Li Guijiao.
She had personally controlled the power of the suspended tower engine and knew very well what the transformation process was like.
The engine of Xianlu is almost exactly the same. If there is any difference, Luo Xue feels that a large part of it has been optimized, and the efficiency has been dramatically improved.
In comparison, the suspended tower engine is simply too crude and superficial.
The Immortal Slaughter Engine can exert a very powerful effect by utilizing the moderate spiritual power of heaven and earth, but the suspended tower engine can only maintain the operation of a tower when sailing in the constantly erupting natural disasters. This is obvious.
As for the formations in other locations, Luo Xue couldn't understand them. These were all Li Guijiao's territory.
According to Li Guijiao, she learned a lot of formation knowledge from this Xianlu.
If she could absorb it for a while, perhaps she would be able to build her own Immortal Killing Formation.
"I'm so jealous, he's a genius in formation..." Luo Xue commented sourly.
“It’s natural.”
Li Guijiao accepted Luo Xue's compliment without blushing or beating her heart.
After dismantling this small Xianlu, it was no longer of any use to Li Guijiao. Anyway, she still had the White Tiger Spirit as a mount (White Tiger Spirit:?), so since she had no use for the Xianlu, she gave it to Luo Xue.
Luo Xue did not bother to be polite with Li Guijiao. After getting the control method of Xianlu from her, Luo Xue started to drive it herself for a few days and simply couldn't put it down.
There is just a little insignificant problem.
In three days, Li Guijiao practiced it eighteen times.
It turns out... maybe Luo Xue is not suitable to be a driver.
Originally, Luo Xue wanted to try using the Life Key to drive the Immortal Slaughter into Guixu, but Li Guijiao risked her life to stop her and forcibly stopped Luo Xue who was in high spirits.
In Wilderness Racing, you can at most repair the car, but in Guixu Racing, you can’t even repair the car.
Such days did not last long. After Emperor Dugu secretly mobilized the Xianlu Army, he brought the Xianlu Army back to the imperial capital and formally sent an invitation to Luo Xue.
This also means that the day has come for Luo Xue and Li Guijiao to part ways.
Li Guijiao needs to go to the imperial capital to repair Xianlu and study the Xianlu formation, while Luo Xue has to go to bring Dugu Xue back, and more importantly, she must find a suitable body.
As time went by, Luo Xue's eternal and immortal soul gradually stabilized, but this led to another rather serious problem.
The requirements for a puppet that could accommodate her soul became increasingly high. Li Guijiao emptied out a lot of spare puppets and even made a special batch for Luo Xue, which barely prevented her from becoming a wandering ghost.
But the puppet that lasted the longest did not exceed five days. What's worse is that this time is gradually shortening, and the need to find a suitable body is extremely urgent.
Even if Luo Xue's soul will no longer be worn out, if she exists in the form of a soul for a long time, she will gradually lose her true nature, and problems will inevitably arise over time.
Luo Xue knew this clearly without Li Guijiao reminding her.
So, after taking 320 useful puppets, Luo Xue left the dungeon through the teleportation array and then landed at the place where she had agreed to separate from the monster tribe.
The monster tribes sent a message a few days ago, saying that they wanted to give her a gift before parting.
Luo Xue couldn't refuse, so she had to come as promised.
When she arrived at the place, Luo Xue discovered that almost all the high-level leaders of the monster tribes had come to the scene, instead of just sending a few representatives as in the past.
"Actually... that's not necessary. I'll only be gone for a while, maybe a few years at most, but probably no longer than a thousand years."
Facing the monsters' gazes that seemed like a farewell forever, Luo Xue felt a little embarrassed.
This depends on when Li Guijiao completes her cultivation of Xianlu. Even if she hasn't completed it, she can run back whenever she wants. After all, she is just a consciousness and a puppet.
No matter what Emperor Dugu was thinking, he could not endanger Li Guijiao's safety.
Li Guijiao's ability to preserve her life may be even more amazing than her talent in formation.
A thousand years may sound like a long time, but for this group of powerful beings whose average realm is above the Yuhua realm, it is just a period of time that requires a little waiting.
The monsters did not refute Luo Xue's words, they just stared at Luo Xue in silence.
At this moment, the most respected old ape came out, holding something in his hand. He walked in front of Luo Xue, knelt on one knee, and raised his hands.
A palm that was almost half the size of Luo Xue's body slowly spread out in front of her, revealing the true appearance of the thing.
"This is... "
Luo Xue was a little confused, so she reached out and picked it up.
This is an ancient two-handed sword. The gloomy and dull blade seems to have been wasted for many years and is a little old.
But at the edge of the sword, there is a cold and sharp light hidden.
From the perspective of Luo Xue, who is half a swordsman, this is a very good sword.
But this sword is just a good sword, not a magic weapon, nor a spiritual weapon. It is just an ordinary, simple sword.
However, after Luo Xue picked up the sword, almost all the monster tribes knelt down and said in unison,
"Meet... the Lord of All Monsters!"
"... ah?"
Luo Xue was slow to react and subconsciously wanted to return the sword, but the old ape pushed her back with soft force.
"Miss, just take it. This is the royal sword of the ten great demon tribes in the past. Whoever holds this sword shall be regarded as the Lord of All Demons." The old ape said slowly, "Now in the entire wilderness, only you are worthy of being the Lord of All Demons, even though you are a human."
Luo Xue took the Wang Jian silently. Her expression was complicated and she was a little hesitant, but the old ape still used his eyes to stop her from refusing.
It is obvious that after taking over the King's Sword, Luo Xue's position in the Wilderness is no longer just a superficial leader who can make decisions on small matters and is a mascot for big events.
This is the royal sword of the ten great demon tribes in the past.
The ten great demon tribes were the ones who, under the instigation of the ancient tribe, slaughtered the ancient clans and humans, forcing them to hide in the four regions of Kyushu.
But then they became extinct in another disaster and the betrayal of the ancient tribe, leaving almost no purebred descendants, only descendants who were mixed with humans.
The monster tribe that was also enslaved managed to survive, but was ordered to never leave the wilderness again. This tragic event that was buried in history finally came to an end.
The old ape certainly knew this history, and many high-ranking officials of the monster tribes were also aware of it, but they also chose to give the monster king sword to Luo Xue.
Perhaps, this is also some compensation for that regrettable history...
Although Luo Xue, who obtained the demon clan's king sword, is not yet able to have the final say, even the powerful hermit sage cannot ignore her opinion.
"My Lord, no matter where you go... please remember that the demon tribe will always be your strongest backing."
