This was the last autumn rain before winter, with an indescribable coldness, and it fell suddenly before the sun had risen.
Lead-black clouds gathered and collided, followed by bright lightning flashes like giant pythons churning through the sea of clouds, causing mountain roars and tsunamis in the midst of clouds and rain.
The water on Qifeng Lake was boiling, and pedestrians were running around in the imperial city in a hurry. After the Blood Feather Lord suddenly appeared on the tower, the civil and military officials fled in all directions. The adjacent palaces were like trapped animals under the cover of dark clouds. Cage.
Outside the Imperial Master's Mansion, those masters who had been hiding for a long time and waiting for opportunities were also shocked by this sudden change.
The reappearance of Blood Feather Lord is no small matter. Such monsters usually require a great cultivator to hold down the formation and the alliance of dozens of cultivators to defeat them.
But now they are united together for the purpose of killing Zhao Xiang'er. This monster is not in their calculations, and there is no way they will cause any damage to it. What's more, many people here are from the Jin and Rong countries. Where are they? Will you take care of Zhao Guo’s mess
Heavy rain poured down from the sky and the earth, the demonic power was raging on the city tower, and amid the thunder and lightning, the high-pitched scream of Lord Blood Feather resounded sharply through the imperial city, carrying a bloody murderous meaning.
The city wall began to crumble inch by inch as Mr. Blood Feather stepped over it.
But for some reason, the demonic bird did not go straight to the imperial city, but just ran along the city wall. The flags collapsed, the towers overturned, and everything was destroyed along the way.
In front of Qifeng Lake, Ning Xiaoling was so frightened by this shocking turn of events that she turned pale and stepped back. If Ning Jiujiu hadn't been able to hold her back, she would have almost fallen into the lake.
"Senior...Senior Brother!" She held Ning Changjiu's arm tightly, and the rain poured on her pale face. From time to time, large pieces of broken bricks fell in front of her, making a deafening sound.
Ning Changjiu also had a heavy expression on his face. He looked at the strange bird that was destroying the palace wall wantonly. The majestic and destructive demonic power was obviously still restrained. At this moment, he still felt distracted just by looking at it from a distance.
"Let's go home." Ning Jiujiu said decisively.
Ning Xiaoling was stunned for a moment, then breathed a sigh of relief. She was afraid that her senior brother would rush over and fight the strange bird without knowing the heights of the sky. The girl nodded repeatedly: "Yes, senior brother!"
Fortunately, Zhao Shisong's mansion was in the opposite direction to the direction of the strange bird.
As Ning Jiujiu left, he looked back at the direction in which the strange bird left, while Ning Xiaoling covered her ears and ran wildly, just thinking of getting away from the crazy strange bird as soon as possible.
…
The imperial city was in chaos.
Many years ago, Lord Blood Feather appeared for the first time and wreaked havoc through many small border towns. He passed through many pass and fortresses along the way before arriving at the imperial city. At that time, the practitioners in the city were already well prepared.
But this time, it appeared almost without warning. In the past twenty days, there have been more and more rumors about the Sparrow Ghost. Previously, when the Witch Master appeared and said the name of Lord Blood Feather, many people linked the Sparrow Ghost to the Sparrow Ghost. are connected together.
Back then, Lord Blood Feather fled and there was no news again. The powerful monster who was waiting for revenge must have accumulated a lot of resentment in his heart.
Now that the imperial city is without the empress in charge, it has made a comeback.
The panic about the 'Sparrow Ghost' has been shrouded in the city like a dark cloud for twenty days. Now Lord Blood Feather really appeared in the sky, frightening everyone at once.
There were already many strange birds gathered in this city, but now with its appearance, those strange birds came one after another despite the heavy rain, and kept chirping around it, like stars holding the moon.
Lord Xueyu flapped his wings, looked at the people fleeing in all directions, looked at those strange birds that were extremely excited, and then weakly trampled a brick to pieces, sighing.
When he came to the city for the first time, he was so arrogant, thinking that he could not come and go freely in such a small country, even if he was injured in the end by a bad old man called the Witch Lord and had to retreat for a while, it He was not discouraged, he just felt that he was still young, and if he practiced for a few more years and recovered from his injuries, he would definitely become a demon king who could run rampant in Nanzhou.
Until I met that woman later...
I can't bear to think about the past. Xue Yujun's age is indeed considered young among monsters. The eyes overlooking the city at this moment feel a bit vicissitudes of life for some reason.
The grand formation in the imperial city has been activated.
It's just that the Zhao Kingdom is now in such decline, and the current emperor is too weak, so this formation is somewhat in vain.
But Mr. Xueyu still didn’t set foot hastily.
Because no matter how weak the formation is, it is still a stumbling block, which will affect its subsequent escape speed.
All it needs to do is create chaos, draw everyone's attention to itself, and buy time for Zhao Xianger.
She once warned herself that she must not add any unnecessary extravagance just for fun. Everything should be done according to plan, and she should stop when things go well, otherwise...
Thinking of this, the notorious Xue Yujun couldn't help but tremble, thinking that he was indeed that woman's daughter.
"Oh, I didn't expect that after being a carrier pigeon for so many years, I would start to have professional ethics..."
It muttered mockingly, then held its head high and extended its wingspan to its maximum, looking majestic.
There is wind coming from between the wings.
It opened its long beak and spoke human words. Its majestic and sharp voice penetrated the rain curtain and enveloped the entire imperial city.
"Old witch dog, back then you were plotting all kinds of things, and I accidentally missed a sword. Today, Japan's Heavenly Lord has made a comeback, and his strength is even stronger than before. Do you, an old witch dog who lives with a turtle shell, dare to come out and give me a fair fight?"
It cleared its throat and continued:
"I heard that a little bitch from the Yujian Tianzong came today. Please listen carefully. This is a personal grudge between me and that old witch dog and has nothing to do with you, so don't get involved. Otherwise, well, otherwise... "
Lord Xueyu was still thinking about what to say, but the palace door in the palace was already open.
Behind the dark palace door, a white shadow appeared like a ghost.
The moment the white shadow appeared, the overwhelming raindrops were pulled by the sword energy and shot towards the location of Lord Xueyu. The figure only stayed at the palace door for a moment. In the heavy rain, there was a beam of white light, which burst out from the sky. From the palace gate, across the imperial city, white light passed by, and the raindrops were illuminated brightly. It seemed that every line contained grand light and reflected thousands of fierce murderous intentions.
A white rainbow passes through the sky!
While the sword energy was gushing out, the sound of the sword was clear and clear, and the distance of several hundred feet was only a moment away.
Mr. Xueyu's pupils shrank suddenly, but the whites of his eyes were reflected extremely brightly.
It cursed secretly in its mind, thinking that the people of the Immortal Sect were still the same as before, talking about being indifferent to the world and nosy at the same time.
After weighing it very quickly, it had no choice but to face it bravely.
The rain was heavy and the sky was broken by clouds.
In the sky above the palace, two figures, one red and one white, were already fighting. During this period, the sword energy was everywhere and the evil light was raging. Wherever it was affected, the roof ridges were lifted by the violent spiritual power, and the eaves, beams and tiles were crushed into powder.
Ning Xiaoling covered her ears and looked up at the sky in shock.
If Lord Xueyu was huge and could still clearly see his description, the woman from the Yujian Tianzong who followed the sword energy was completely invisible, and it was even impossible to see clearly that she had brought the sword energy with her. It was the sword energy that dragged her figure. Looking from a distance, she could only see the beauty as snow and the sword energy as frost.
"Is that... an immortal?" Ning Xiaoling looked at it dreamily, forgetting to run away for a moment.
Ning Jiujiu said: "It is very powerful."
Ning Xiaoling raised her head and asked, "Senior brother, can we be as powerful as this in the future?"
Ning Jiujiu said: "Junior sister has extraordinary talents. As long as she practices diligently and does not touch those evil evil ways, she will definitely be able to achieve perfection."
Ning Xiaoling pursed her lips, as if tasting the rainwater. She blinked and said, "Senior brother, please don't lie to me."
Ning Jiujiu said: "Of course not."
Ning Xiaoling asked cautiously: "Hey, what if one day I accidentally choose the wrong path?"
Ning Changjiu seemed to have the answer for a long time, and said calmly: "Kill the demon, and you stay."
At that moment, the depths of the girl's eyes were extremely cold. She raised her hand and reached behind Ning Changjiu.
Before touching her back, Ning Jiujiu naturally grabbed her wrist and said with a smile: "Mortals suffer when gods fight, so it's better to go back early."
Ning Xiaoling came back to her senses, and Ning Jiujiu had already taken her wrist and walked towards Prince Zhao's residence.
"Hey..." Ning Xiaoling twisted her arm in pain.
Approaching the other courtyard, Ning Xiaoling took out the key and glanced at the sky with some reluctance and fear.
The courtyard door opened, Ning Xiaoling went around to the back, pushed his senior brother all the way into the room, and muttered: "Senior brother, senior brother, you must stop meddling in other people's business. This imperial city is so scary. If you have There are three advantages and two disadvantages, I can't hold you back."
…
…
In the Immortal Forest, the door of the Witch Lord's Palace opened silently.
He heard Mr. Xueyu's shout just now, but he didn't take action immediately.
After seeing the sword light shining from the imperial city, he opened the door, but still did not put down the ancient book in his hand.
This ancient book is the true inheritance of the witch masters of the past generations. It is like a living historian, which will grow pages on its own to record the history of the imperial city. At the same time, every line of text is also a true microcosm of the imperial city.
He turned the ancient book to the last page at this moment, where there was a prophecy that he had just revealed after refining it with his essence and blood:
"Exercise the heaven and the earth, and sacrifice to the city and the country."
He never understood what this sentence was meant to fulfill, but he could vaguely sense the extremely cold and chilling meaning behind it.
He looked at the rain outside the window, and his old and hunched body couldn't help but tremble:
"Could it be... today?"
His eyes suddenly fell on an ancient well in front of the Witch Lord's Palace, but he quickly put an end to the absurd thought in his mind.
Regarding the secret of this well, only the Imperial Preceptor and him knew about it now. What's more, even if the Imperial Preceptor informed Zhao Xiang'er, she would not be stupid enough to go down the well to find the almost non-existent hope. If she really went down...
That's even better, since there is no life or death anyway, so you don't have to do it yourself.
He turned his head, looked at a pug with black wings on the wooden frame, and said:
"Tell Qiu Li that the plan remains unchanged and continue to keep an eye on the Imperial Master's Mansion. Don't worry about that evil beast in the sky. I will kill it."
