"In exchange for Yan Xiu's life?" the girl finally spoke, a flash of panic flashing brightly in her clear eyes, and her voice was extremely low.
"Yes, one life for another, this is the condition offered by the Yin Yang Palace." Cang Yue nodded, and at the same time, a faint smile appeared on the corner of her mouth.
The girl didn't speak anymore, but her fists were clenched subconsciously, her chest was rising and falling, and her expression seemed to be slightly restless.
"You are very smart. You should be able to understand the purpose of my coming here. Take off your red dress and follow me to Lingyun Tower. When you get there, you will understand that your waiting is meaningless!" Cang Yue At the end of the sentence, his tone became a little cold.
"Do you know what friendship is?" The girl spoke again, and just as she spoke, her heaving chest slowly calmed down.
"What do you mean?" Cang Yue frowned slightly.
"You don't understand, because you don't have any at all. You have no friends in this life, so you will never understand true friendship."
"Haha, it seems that you are still a little unwilling to give up, but it doesn't matter. One day, you will understand that some things are completely meaningless!"
"You are pitiful."
"What?"
"You have no friends, and you don't understand what love is. You have been living in Lingyun Tower since you were born, living what you thought was a happy life. In fact, you have never really understood the world at all."
"Shut up, how do you know that I have been in Lingyun Tower since I was born?! Tell you, I... forget it, even if I tell you, you don't understand!" Cang Yue did not continue talking, but stood up directly, looking at Looking towards the sky, the expression on his face turned out to be confused for a moment.
"Aren't you leaving yet?" the girl continued.
"Are you really going to keep waiting for a dead man and stay in this ice prison with no hope forever?" Cang Yue asked again.
"I'll keep waiting."
"What if the half-year period you agreed upon has passed?"
"Keep waiting!"
"If you don't come, you'll just keep waiting?"
"Yes!"
"It's absolutely ridiculous. If this is the friendship and love you are talking about, I think this kind of thing will only become an obstacle in the way of cultivation!" After Cang Yue finished speaking, a chill naturally came out of her body. Little by little bright starlight flowed between her fingers.
The girl did not continue to speak, she just turned around and looked at the cold pool behind her, and then jumped directly into the cold pool, completely submerging her body into the cold pool.
"Plop!" There was a sound, and a circle of ripples rippled.
Cang Yue's expression stiffened at this moment, looking at the girl who had disappeared in front of the cold pool, her expression seemed to reveal some kind of pain.
No one knew that there was a figure lingering in Cang Yue's mind at this moment, which made her body tremble a little. However, after a moment, she returned to normal again, her figure shot straight into the sky, and disappeared in an instant. A voice was left echoing in the sky.
"Heaven and earth are ruthless, how can there be love in the world!"
…
Nangong Mausoleum is surrounded by wind and snow.
A young figure walked from the wind and snow. The pace was not too fast, but it was not too slow either. There was not much expression on the ordinary face, but the scar scratched on the face was somewhat ferocious. .
Nangong Mu.
A person who disappeared in the sanctuary and now appears in Nangong Mausoleum.
"Back." A figure standing among the countless stone tablets looked at the young man walking in the snow, his tone as calm as looking at a stranger.
It is Nangong Tian, the current head of the Nangong family.
Nangong Mu did not speak, but nodded slightly. At the same time, he looked at a huge ancient tree in front of the stone monument.
It was a giant tree with countless white flowers, soaring into the sky. The flowers had petals as white as snow, and a faint silver brilliance flowed on the petals.
A very exaggerated ancient tree.
However, there was not much surprise on Nangong Mu's face. He just glanced at it lightly and then looked away from the ancient tree.
"Now that you are back and alive, I think you should understand what to do next." Nangongtian said again.
"Will brother die?" Nangong Mu finally said.
"There are no absolutes in this world. I can't answer your question yet. However, he has successfully completed the mission of the Nangong family. Next, this mission will be inherited by you!"
"Why does it have to be like this? Are we not doing well now?"
"Okay? Where's the best place?"
"Peace... at least, we live a peaceful life, and we also get the respect we deserve, every year... "
"Shut up!" Nangong Tian's tone finally changed, directly interrupting Nangong Mu's continued words: "We lived peacefully? So, have you ever thought about them?"
When Nangong Tian finished speaking, his hand pointed directly at the countless stone tablets standing in the wind and snow around him. The names could no longer be seen clearly on them, but there were still faint writings on them.
The wind and snow are falling, and the chill is rising.
Nangong Mu's body trembled, his eyes subconsciously looked at the countless stone tablets in front of him, and his lips slowly clenched tightly inadvertently.
"I'll ask you one last time, do you know your mission? If you don't know, then kneel here until you know it!" Nangong Tian saw that Nangong Mu stopped talking, and a flash of light flashed in his eyes. light.
"Father, if... I accept this mission, can my brother come back again?" When Nangong Mu heard this, there was a look of great pain on his face.
"That's his life, it has nothing to do with your mission. You just need to do your own thing well, and that's enough." Nangongtian said again.
"Father is not willing to lie to me even once?"
"People of the Nangong family don't need this kind of 'deception'. If your will is not strong enough, then you should continue to stay in the sanctuary. Why are you coming back?" Nangongtian asked.
"I… "
"This decision is yours to make. I will not advise you again." After Nangongtian said this, he turned around and walked towards the countless stone monuments, leaving only a few shallow footprints in the wind and snow.
Nangong Mu's body stood on the same spot, letting the wind and snow blow by. His tightly tied hair was already covered with a thick layer of white frost in the wind and snow. He did not follow immediately, but looked at the person in front of him again. Looking at the ancient tree in the sky, I looked at the flowers that were as crystal clear as snow.
…
Jiuding Mountain.
A huge active volcano, filled with thick fog all year round, a huge rock lies across the mountain, and nine huge three-legged black tripods stand on the rock.
Each black tripod has complex patterns on it. In addition to some complicated characters, it also includes cloud patterns and some extremely weird graphics.
Under the nine black tripods is a naturally formed flat land, with stone houses made of black rocks scattered throughout the flat land.
Today's Jiuding Mountain is obviously different from the past.
More than a thousand disciples from Jiuding Mountain all stood under the nine black cauldrons, their expressions solemn and solemn.
In front of the disciples of Jiuding Mountain, nine elders of Jiuding Mountain and an old man wearing black and white clothes were standing in front of them. Each elder wore a black metal ring on his head.
It was a ring composed of nine small black cauldrons and nine black gems. The black cauldron and the gems were interlocked with each other. The whole body was dark, and a faint brilliance flowed on the ring.
"A sacrifice!" A white-haired old man standing in the middle of the nine elders also spoke at this time, with a strong solemn aura on his face.
It is the great elder of Jiuding Mountain, Yingyu.
And with the "sacrifice" from Jiuding Mountain's great elder Ying Yu, all the disciples of Jiuding Mountain immediately knelt down and kowtowed to the ground.
"You don't have to be so polite, do you?" An inappropriate voice sounded at this time. Compared with the solemn atmosphere, it seemed a bit abrupt.
This naturally made the disciples of Jiuding Mountain look a little angry, but they were just angry, and no one spoke or asked questions.
after all…
They really couldn't argue with a sacrifice.
Yes, it was the sacrifice who spoke, and this sacrifice was none other than Fang Zhengzheng, who unfortunately caused a commotion in the sanctuary.
At this moment, Fang Zhengzheng was tied with a black chain to an iron pillar in front of the nine black tripods. The blue gown on his body was already in tatters.
Judging from his demeanor, Fang Zhengzheng is a little embarrassed now.
However, Fang Zhengzheng's expression was not as ugly as expected, and he even looked inexplicably free and easy.
"Second sacrifice!" Yingyu, the great elder of Jiuding Mountain, ignored Fang Zhengzheng's shouting and continued to speak. At the same time, he knelt down and bowed forward again.
The elders beside him and the disciples of Jiuding Mountain behind him naturally knelt down and worshiped after the Great Elder Yingyu again, their expressions still extremely solemn.
This is a ceremony to commemorate 'Tian Xing'.
Then, both the great elder and the disciples of Jiuding Mountain must kneel down and worship. However, when Fang Zhengzheng, the sacrifice, screamed loudly and vigorously, this kind of solemnity made people feel a little weird, as if, They are really kneeling down and worshiping Fang Zhengzheng.
"Three sacrifices!" Great Elder Yingyu spoke again.
With the completion of the third sacrifice, the ceremony to commemorate 'Tianxing' has almost come to an end. Next, the alchemy ceremony will be held.
As for this pill...
Naturally, he is still upright.
"Sixth Elder." The Great Elder Yingyu also stood up at this moment, looking at the old man standing next to him in black and white clothing.
It was none other than the sixth elder of Yin Yang Palace who came to Jiuding Mountain to preside over the alchemy.
After hearing the words of the Great Elder Yingyu, the Sixth Elder also took a step forward from the crowd, and gave a brief salute to the Great Elder Yingyu.
"Which cauldron does Elder Ying want to use to make elixirs?" As the Sixth Elder said, he also looked at the nine huge three-legged black cauldrons standing on the rocks above his head.
"Just use the 'Zhongzhou Cauldron' to refine it. It will give this kid a huge face. After all, this kid is now considered a figure!" Great Elder Yingyu also glanced at the nine black figures above his head. Ding, after a moment of silence, also answered.
"Then this boy is truly blessed. This is the first time in history that he has used the Central Continent Cauldron to refine elixirs. I remember that the minimum quality of the weapons refined from the Central Continent Cauldron has reached the holy level, right?" The Sixth Elder heard this, with a look in his eyes. Also more or less slightly surprised.
"Well, a total of seven weapons have been refined from the Zhongzhou Cauldron, each of which is a weapon above the Saint level. It is the fruit of the efforts of the Jiuding Mountain sect masters over the years." Great Elder Yingyu nodded.
"Haha, now that Fang Zhengzheng has been successfully executed, our palace master also asked me to ask a question before coming." The Sixth Elder smiled and asked again.
"Sixth Elder, please ask."
"Our palace master wants to know the choice of the next sect master of Jiuding Mountain."
"Hall Master, please worry. We originally decided who could catch Fang Zhengzheng and be eligible to run for the Jiuding Mountain Sect Master, but we didn't expect that Fang Zhengzheng would end up in the Yin Yang Palace by himself. In this way, it was a bit unexpected. It was unexpected, so..."
"We understand what Elder Yingda means. However, Jiuding Mountain cannot always be without a sect leader. What our palace master means is that Elder Yingda is highly respected in Jiuding Mountain and has the highest cultivation level. If Elder Yingda can directly take over the post The sect master of Jiuding Mountain should be the most suitable!"
"Haha, let's discuss this later." Great Elder Yingyu smiled, his expression didn't change much, he just shook his head gently.
The expressions of the surrounding elders and the disciples of Jiuding Mountain changed after hearing the words of the sixth elder. Everyone had different expressions on their faces, some were happy, some were angry...
"Actually, I have a way!" At this moment, Fang Zhengzheng's voice came over everyone's heads again.
"Huh?" The sixth elder's expression was slightly startled.
Not only the Sixth Elder, but also the Great Elder Yingyu, and other elders and disciples of Jiuding Mountain were also obviously surprised.
Jiuding Mountain’s Sect Master’s Choice…
Does this guy have any ideas
Make trouble!
"Since you have decided whoever catches me will inherit the position of sect leader, then why not just hand over the position of sect leader to someone from the Yin Yang Palace to inherit it!" Fang Zhengzheng was not polite and said He continued without thinking.
"Presumptuous!" Great Elder Yingyu's expression suddenly changed.
The expressions of the other elders also became extremely ugly. Naturally, they could see that Fang Zhengzheng was deliberately provoking, but the current Jiuding Mountain was indeed unable to break up with the Yin Yang Palace.
However, as revealed in Fang Zhengzheng's words, it would indeed be a bit useless if the selection of Jiuding Mountain's sect master had to be discussed by the people of Yin Yang Palace.
Fang Zhengzheng's words were very straightforward.
Moreover, it seemed to be a complete lie, but it hit the sore point of Jiuding Mountain very directly, causing anger to flash clearly on the faces of the elders and disciples of Jiuding Mountain.
Almost subconsciously, pairs of eyes were looking at the Sixth Elder of Yin Yang Palace with anger, and their eyes were more or less sharp.
