With a slight smile, Nian Bing said: "Elders, your combination attack formation is really weird. I have tried my best to find a breakthrough, but I can't find a breakthrough line. If you use it in the test that day With this formation, I'm afraid I won't even have a chance."
The Great Elder smiled and said: "You don't need to underestimate yourself, the leader. Our combined strike method was passed down from our ancestors, and it is also the treasure of our Blood Lion Cult. According to the regulations, this combined attack method cannot be used to test the new leader. And , when we fought against the leader for the first time, the various abilities used by the students were extremely weird, and at that time, we might not be able to use this set of blood madness."
Looking at the calm seven elders, Nian Bing smiled and said: "The current situation has been proceeding according to our plan, and Yan Feng's voice has gradually improved."
The First Elder said: "According to the information we have received, the First Prince already has a great advantage on the surface, but it is strange that the Fifth Prince disappeared at this most critical moment, which seems unreasonable. According to The spies we placed in the fifth prince's mansion reported that the fifth prince is very leisurely these days, but there is no sign of being in a hurry. There are only two possibilities for this situation. First, the fifth prince has decided to give up the pursuit of the throne. Second, even if it is What trump card he has yet to use, he is waiting for the best time."
"It seems impossible to give up the throne, so there is only the second possibility. Elder, we have already checked the information of the fifth prince. What strong support can he have?" Nian Bing was also a little puzzled. . Judging from the information obtained in the past few days, the eldest prince not only accepted people who originally supported the second prince. At the same time, his own strength has also been greatly improved because of the death of the second prince. The pressure of public opinion from all aspects is very unfavorable to the fifth prince. movement.
The second elder, who seldom spoke, said, "It's not hard to guess. If the fifth prince still has any support, then this support must be enough to push him to the throne. We just need to think carefully about what he relies on to successfully ascend to the throne." That’s enough. At this point, in the entire Ice Moon Empire, besides the king, it seems that there is only one person who can do it.”
"Ice and Snow Goddess Sacrifice." Nian Bing and the First Elder thought of the person the Second Elder was referring to at the same time, and their faces sank, yes! The Ice Moon Empire also has a powerful Ice and Snow Goddess Priest. As long as she expresses her support for the fifth prince, even the king cannot raise objections. The Ice and Snow Goddess has always been the patron saint of the Ice Moon Empire. She has stepped forward many times when the Ice Moon Empire was in crisis, and tried her best to turn the tide before it collapsed. Her position in the Ice Moon Empire is unshakable.
The Great Elder shook his head and said: "Based on my understanding of the Ice and Snow Goddess Priestess. She will not interfere in the political affairs of the Ice Moon Empire, and she has never had contact with the princes. According to our news According to reports, the king of the Ice Moon Empire sent an envoy to the Ice God Pagoda to ask the Ice Goddess Priestess, but the Ice Snow Goddess Priestess has never left the Ice God Tower. Although our Blood Lion Cult is the largest underground force, we have tried I tried to break into the Ice God Tower many times, but I never succeeded, so now I don’t know what happened inside the Ice God Tower.”
Nian Bing's eyes flashed, and he said: "Elder, send more people to keep an eye on the Ice God Tower. As soon as the Ice and Snow Goddess Priest shows signs of leaving the Ice God Tower, report to me immediately. Come on, the movement of the Ice and Snow Goddess Priest, That is the key to our operation."
On the same day, after Xue Po and Yan Feng returned from the palace, they brought Nian Bing a very important message. Xue Po, as one of the three marshals of the empire, has a huge influence in the military, even the royal guards who only obey the king The head of the regiment, and his personal relationship is also very good. This time he brought Yan Feng into the palace and asked Yan Tiannan to marry Yan Feng. Although Yan Tiannan was surprised, he didn't stop him. He also didn't think that Yan Feng could cause much trouble, but he secretly nodded to Xue Po, hoping that he would not act rashly or make any decisions lightly. Before leaving the palace, the head of the royal guard said one word to Xue Po, a very simple word, five.
"Five. So, the king is really going to pass his position to the fifth prince Yan Yun. Our judgment is not wrong. There is only one possibility for the fifth prince to inherit the throne now." Please look at the situation. Binglai is very important, he smiled slightly, nodded to Xue Po, and said: "Marshal, it seems that we are about to start action. Time is the most critical thing for us."
Xue Po nodded and said: "Yes, so many friends came to congratulate my daughter's engagement last time, so I have to pay a return visit, Yan Feng! You can go with me."
Yan Feng nodded understandingly, and said: "Father-in-law decides everything." The three of them looked at each other and smiled, and the real action will start from today.
Nian Bing put on a snow-white magic robe that he had already prepared. There was no sign on the magic robe. He put the hat of the magic robe on his head. cover. He left the Marshal's Mansion through the side door.
Walking on the bustling street of Bingyue, Nian Bing's heart is very calm, looking to the north, worshiping the goddess of ice and snow, it seems that we will meet soon. What I must do, can you really stop it? Nian Bing didn't walk fast. Although his appearance was a bit weird, he didn't attract the attention of many passers-by. The white magic robe is always better than his golden magic robe. Much more common.
"Brother Nian Bing." Mao Mao's voice suddenly sounded, Nian Bing turned his head to look, and saw Mao Mao and Bing Yun, who was wearing a blue magic robe, coming out of another street. I just finished eating. Bing Yun couldn't help showing a hint of surprise when he saw Nian Bing's attire and big eyes. Nian Bing smiled and said, "Maomao, can you recognize me dressed like this?"
Mao Mao giggled and said: "Although your clothes have changed, your breath will not change! Brother Nian Bing is good or bad, I haven't come to play with Mao Mao recently, and Mao Mao will be angry."
Nian Bing rubbed Mao Mao's head tirelessly: "Brother has a lot of things to do recently. Isn't it the same to have your sister Bing Yun with you?"
Maomao glanced at Bingyun who was walking beside him, "Brother, what are you going to do in this dress! Could it be that you want to do something bad?" Nian Bing smiled and said, "It's possible, but, What brother is going to do is a bad thing for some people, but it is a good thing for some people. Well, remember to go back with your sister Bingyun."
Bing Yun looked at Nian Bing coldly, and said: "You have been here long enough, how long do I have to wait?" Nian Bing took a deep look at Bing Yun, and said: "Maybe it won't be too long .Isn’t your master about to come to Ice Moon City? With her strength, even if I don’t want to, you can take me back.”
Bing Yun shook her head and said: "I have already promised Mao Mao. As long as she is here, I will not catch you. I will wait, but I hope it will not be too long." After speaking, she pulled Mao Mao towards the hotel .
Nian Bing looked at Bing Yun and the others in a daze. The eyes are shining, what does she mean? Promised cat? The feeling in his heart was a bit weird, but Bing Yun's words did not disturb his plan. What has been decided, what should be done must continue to be done. Thinking of this, he stepped up and walked towards the destination of his trip.
Great Prince's Mansion.
"Congratulations, Your Highness, now even Nusar, the head of the Guardian Group of Ice Moon City, has expressed his surrender to you. Apart from the palace, the entire Ice Moon City is under your control." A thin man stood Beside the eldest prince, he complimented him. This person is the most trusted wise man of the eldest prince, his name is Huai Xiao, Yan Ji likes to call him a smirk, although Huai Xiao is not very good, but he often comes up with some weird ideas for the eldest prince, which has won the trust of the eldest prince . Just today, the eldest prince Yan Ji has been fighting for the head of the Dibingyue Guardian Group, and was finally moved by the two top-quality virgins he sent, and secretly pledged allegiance to him. That's fifty thousand soldiers! Although it was not enough to fully grasp the situation in Ice Moon City, but with his support, the First Prince's prestige immediately rose to a new level.
Listening to Huai Xiao's words, Yan Ji couldn't help showing a hint of color. Due to the forbearance of the fifth prince Yan Yun, now his power has grown to the greatest extent, and his succession to the throne is just around the corner.
"His Royal Highness, there is a magician wearing a white magic robe outside asking to see him, covering his face so that no one can see him."
Yan Bao frowned slightly, and said, "A strange person is here? Could it be sent by Yan Yun? Be careful at this time, don't see him."
"Wait a minute." The guard was about to go down, but was stopped by Huai Xiao, "Did this man say he was going to bring any message?"
The guard said: "He said he came on behalf of Marshal Xue Po, and the message can only be given to His Highness alone."
Yan Ji was startled, "Bastard, why didn't you say earlier that he is here on behalf of Marshal Xue, please hurry up." Xue Po has always been one of the few people he wants to win over, even if the person from outside is a fake, He must not take any chances either. On major issues, Yan Ji has always been very assertive. While instructing his subordinates, he winked at Huai Xiao, and Huai Xiao immediately retreated knowingly.
After a while, under the leadership of the guards, Nian Bing, who was wearing a white magic robe, came to the living room of the First Prince's Mansion. The guards retreated. At this time, Nian Bing was the only one in the hall.
Nian Bing looked around casually, and couldn't help being a little surprised. The Grand Prince's Mansion was not as gorgeous as he imagined, but very simple, without any luxurious decorations.
With a heartbeat, Nian Bing turned around and saw a tall man walking in from the outside. This man was wearing a bright yellow warrior uniform, and he looked a bit heroic. His appearance was similar to that of Yan Feng, Yan Yun brothers are somewhat similar, don't ask, Nian Bing knows that the person who comes is Yan Ji, the great prince of the Ice Moon Empire. He took a deep look at Yan Ji, but didn't say a word. He found that this first prince was extremely calm. Although he was not as friendly as the fifth prince Yan Yunxing, he exuded a noble aura, especially His eyes looked unusually deep. Seeing that Nian Bing did not salute him, Yan Ji couldn't help but look at the person in front of him in surprise. The tall and straight Nian Bing was about the same height as him, with broad shoulders and a slender figure standing Xing Li seemed to be covered by a layer of air, making Yan Ji unable to feel anything. It turned out that after Nian Bing was inspired by Mao Mao, in order to better cover himself, he used innate energy to protect his body, covering most of the breath. Although Yan Ji is not weak, it is impossible to see through this layer of innate aura.
"Your Excellency is here on behalf of Marshal Xue?" The eldest prince stopped a foot away from Nian Bing. Nian Bing smiled lightly, and said: "That's right. In this case, you know the current situation in Ice Moon City compared to Your Excellency. The situation is so tense, and I have to guard against it. Excuse me, how can you prove your identity?"
A silver light flashed in Nian Bing's hand, and a diamond-shaped Jin card appeared in his palm, "I think this Soul Eater card should be able to prove my identity." As he spoke, he threw the Soul Eater card over.
The First Prince put it in his hand, glanced at the eye-catching skull mark on the Soul Eater card, and then looked at the gemstone inlaid on the back of the card, and said: "Yes, this is indeed the Soul Eater card of Marshal Xue. In that case, Your Excellency can now Explain the purpose of coming. I heard from my subordinates that you came to deliver a message."
Nian Bing said: "I am a guest in Marshal Xue's mansion. I will naturally say it when I have to say it. However, His Highness seems not to listen to me sincerely." Yan Ji said: "Why do you say that, sir?" Confirming Nian Bing's identity , His words are also more polite.
Nian Bing looked at Yan Ji calmly, and said: "If His Highness is sincere, there will not be four masters at the level of martial arts hidden in this study."
Yan Ji was shocked. Indeed, in the dark room around the study, there were four of his most valued guest officials. He spent a lot of effort to invite these four masters of martial arts level. It is also one of the most important weights for him to compete with Yan Yun for the throne. Yan Yun has two martial saints to protect him, but he has as many as four. His strength is so strong that he ranks first among all the princes.
Seeing Yan Jiliang's surprise, Nian Bing smiled slightly, and said: "I just want to prove to His Highness that the guest of Marshal Xue's house is not an incompetent person." The Tianyan point is used to detect the surrounding situation, let alone a martial sage. Even if the divine master is here, Nian Bing can still feel it.
Yan Ji hesitated for a moment before saying: "Mr. should know about my second brother's murder. I didn't confirm Mr.'s identity before. I had to be on guard. Since Mr. Xue came here on behalf of Marshal Xue, this precaution is naturally unnecessary." Waving, the hidden four martial saints quietly left.
Nian Bing couldn't help but show a hint of approval. This eldest prince is able to compete with the fifth prince Yan Yun for the throne. He really has something outstanding. At least, he has shown a generous side. The prince should know the saying that the law is not passed on to the six ears, and the oral message can only be told to you alone. At present, the eldest prince has already gained the upper hand in the battle for the throne, not bad." Yan Ji smiled slightly and said: "Yes I can't say that, but Yan Ji is quite sure if he can get Marshal Xue's support."
Nian Bing walked to the chair beside him and sat down, and said calmly: "Your Highness does not need to be humble, at least from the surface situation, even without the support of Marshal Xue, His Highness is very sure. However, there is one question, have you thought about it?" The fifth prince has been competing with you and the second prince for the throne, but recently he has been very low-key, as if he had given up."
Yan Ji frowned slightly, and said: "He sent someone to kill my second brother, I really hope he will stand up, the second brother is a sibling of my mother, I must avenge him."
Nian Bing shook his head and said: "The matter is not that simple. As far as I know, His Majesty has always preferred the Fifth Prince. If His Majesty orders, orders to pursue this matter again, or clarifies for the Fifth Prince, even if His Majesty has the heart However, it is difficult to pose a threat to the fifth prince. Although His Majesty is seriously ill, I think it is definitely not because he is ill that he did not do this."
Yan Ji was startled, he has been going smoothly these days. He was indeed a bit careless. He suddenly heard Nian Bing's words, and he felt an ominous premonition in his heart. He hurriedly walked to Nian Bing and sat down, saying: "Please ask me to teach me, sir."
Nian Bing smiled slightly and said: "Your Highness is a smart person, and I don't need to say anything more. The message I brought today is only six words."
Yan Ji asked: "Which six characters?"
Nian Bing said word by word: "Ice-snow-goddess-sacrifice-sacrifice-"
With a bang, Yan Ji's mind seemed to explode, and he immediately understood where his ominous feeling came from. yes! How could I forget such an important person. He slammed the table and stood up again. Angrily said: "Damn it."
Nian Bing also stood up, "The message has arrived, I should go too, Your Highness, leave." After finishing speaking, he turned and walked outside.
"Sir, stop." Yan Ji hurriedly stopped Nian Bing, and grabbed Nian Bing's back in a few steps. Said: "Sir came to send a message to Yan Ji, how could he leave without eating? Yan Ji was really negligent before."
Nian Bing turned around, looked at Yan Ji with a slight smile, and said: "Your Highness, I know that you may still have some doubts in your heart, and you may even doubt my sincerity. I am not in a hurry, but time waits for no one. Once that person comes to Ice Moon City, I'm afraid it's impossible to take any action. You should think carefully. Marshal Xue is also a smart person. He is absolutely unwilling to stand in the wrong camp." Yan Ji understood the meaning of Nian Bing's words Meaning, "Sir, what request does Marshal Xue have? As long as I can do it. I will definitely agree."
Nian Bing smiled and said: "Actually, this matter is nothing, it is just a matter of little effort for His Highness. Originally, the Marshal didn't want to express his position prematurely, but recently something troubled him, so he had to act in advance Yes. Maybe you already know that the younger brother, the Seventh Prince, is about to marry Miss Xueyu, the only daughter of Marshal Xue. Regarding this matter, the Marshal is very helpless. But the Seventh Prince is his son-in-law after all, so he hopes that he My son-in-law can be an upright person. At the same time, he must also consider the future of his daughter and son-in-law."
Yan Ji felt relieved, and said, "I can understand the Marshal's mood, this matter is easy to handle. I immediately mobilized my staff to clarify those rumors for the seventh brother. I had already planned to do this, but there are too many things. It has never been in time. With such a reminder from the master, Yan Ji will definitely sit down on this matter. If Yan Ji is lucky enough to become... in the future, the seventh brother is my own brother, and it is natural that the land should be crowned king."
Nian Bing smiled slightly and said: "His Royal Highness is indeed a happy person. I believe that you will become a famous king of a generation. I am waiting for your arrival at the Marshal's Mansion." After finishing speaking, he walked out again, this time Yan Ji didn't stop Nian Bing any more, and sent him to the gate of the mansion. Watching him off towards the Marshal's Mansion.
Back in the study, Huai Xiao was already waiting for him, Yan Ji said: "You have heard our conversation earlier, what do you think?" Although the four martial saints retreated, Huai Xiao remained hidden, Nian Bing It didn't point out, and Yan Ji didn't let Huai Xiao back down.
Huai smiled and said: "There is no doubt that this person is from Marshal Xue Po. I asked a few guests just now, and they all said that they could see the depth of this person's strength. I didn't expect that there would be such a guest in Marshal Xue's mansion. What happened to the Seventh Prince We are also very clear about the matter, at least on the surface, there are no flaws. I am just wondering, how can this Marshal Xue Po have the ability to compete with the priest of the Ice and Snow Goddess? But, Your Highness, frankly speaking, even if he knows that it is a menstrual condom, We also have to drill in. Hey, it's all my fault, I actually forgot such an important person as the Ice and Snow Goddess Priest."
Yan Ji didn't make a statement, and continued to ask: "I want to hear your opinion on the sacrifice of the Ice and Snow Goddess."
Huai Xiao thought for a while, and said: "The goddess of ice and snow is the supreme existence in our country, especially in Pingxin, she is the real patron saint. Although she does obey the royal order, once there is danger in our country, she will never She will stand by and watch. With the status of the goddess of ice and snow, she will never be bribed by anyone. The succession of the emperor is a major event, I think, if His Majesty asks the goddess of ice and snow to recognize the fifth prince, she should refuse. At that time, the fifth prince With the support of the entire Ice God Tower. No matter how many people we have, it is impossible to compete with the God Descendant who can easily destroy an army of 100,000! There are so many magic masters in the Ice God Tower. The decision of the Ice Goddess sacrifice is indeed can affect the whole situation.”
Yan Ji nodded, and said: "It seems that we have to prepare for the worst. Father, father, you are so partial, I am your eldest son, but you insist on this. Since you are benevolent, I Don't blame me for being unrighteous. Contact Captain Nusar for me, I want to meet him. At the same time, back up a generous gift for me, and I will go to Marshal Xue's mansion in person tomorrow morning." He had already thought about it carefully, With Yan Tiannan's usual attitude towards him, it was impossible for him to let the priest of the Ice and Snow Goddess support him. And during this period of time, Yan Yun was so forbearing, naturally there was a reason. Although Nian Bing didn't talk to him much, he woke him up. He knew that he had to do something, otherwise, once the Ice and Snow Goddess Priest came to Ice Moon City, there would be no more as Nian Bing said. any chance.
Xuepo Marshal's Mansion. Nian Bing sat alone on the roof of his abode and looked up at the sky. It has been a whole month since I came to Ice Moon City, and it is rare to have such leisure time. He has already started to practice at this time. Today, I don’t know why I feel a little irritable. Here, let the cold wind blow your body and enjoy the quiet night.
Today's sky is clear, there is not a cloud in the night sky. The bright first quarter moon outlines a perfect crescent moon, which looks so clean against the backdrop of many bright stars.
The first thing Nian Bing thought of was Feng Nu, her long pink hair gave him a scorching feeling like a flame. Every time I think of her, Nian Bing is filled with the urge to find her. Feng Nu, are you okay now? Have you met your godmother? If the godmother knows that you are her eldest daughter, she will be very happy. Perhaps, you have gone to the Phoenix Clan now, we don’t know when we will meet again, just like I can give up revenge, you also cannot give up the Phoenix Clan, when I finish my business, I will definitely go to Oran City to find your.
After Feng Nu, Nian Bing thought of Long Ling again. The deepest impression Long Ling gave him was that gentle eyes like water. In those clear eyes, there was always a soft light that made his mind peaceful. I have done so many things in Bingyue City, and now I don’t know if I can complete everything successfully in the end, but Nian Bing does not regret it, because everything he has done is for Ling’er, and for Ling’er, even if he pays no matter what How many years? Linger! I hope to see your gentle smile forever and ever, a smile from the bottom of my heart!
The wind is cold, and the night wind is more piercing than the day. Although Nian Bing did not deliberately resist, the Tianyan domain still emits a faint layer of energy to protect his skin, making it impossible for the cold to invade. His ice and fire homology magic can be regarded as a great achievement, and there is no need to worry about the possible conflict between ice and fire. This coldness does not pose any threat to him.
The cold feeling made Nian Bing sober. He slowly closed his eyes, concentrated his energy on the Tianyan point, and looked out through the Tianyan. The dark sky turned dark blue under the observation of the Tianyan point. The stars became very clear. Suddenly, Nian Bing's heart moved, and through the Tianyan acupoint, he actually saw strong energy fluctuations in the starlight and moonlight. Every time the energy fluctuates, the starlight will vibrate slightly. Looking at the strange scene, Nian Bing seems to feel that everything around him is vibrating slightly, and even the magic power in his body is also trembling. Every time he trembled, the innate energy in the air would pour into his body. Although it did not enhance his magic power, that strange and wonderful feeling made Nian Bing's body extremely comfortable. He didn't do anything intentionally, just kept the subtle feeling that the innate energy pouring into his body didn't need to be filtered by the energy in his body like before, it was very pure itself, quietly blending into every inch of his meridians, Combined with his own magic power, the magic elements in the air frantically rush towards Nian Bing's body like throwing himself into his arms. Nian Bing's body absorbs these magic elements into his body like a magnet. The magical elements that entered the body together with the innate qi have been completely purified, and can be easily converted into Nian Bing without further training. At this moment, the gray energy in Nian Bing's chest spread out and spread throughout every part of Nian Bing's body. Oscar's excited voice sounded, "I*, boss, this is fine."
Through the soul, Nian Bing asked in surprise: "Kaka, what's the matter? Did you find something? The innate energy in the air today seems to be stronger and purer than before."
Oscar said excitedly: "Boss! This is no ordinary innate qi, but an innate qi mixed with the essence of heaven and earth! How did you do it? It's amazing. This kind of innate qi is so powerful for any Cultivators have great benefits, I need to absorb more, maybe I can evolve in advance, so comfortable, really comfortable! Sharing a body with you is really good."
Nian Bing recalled what Fatty Earth Dragon King said. All along, he knew that the opening of his Tianyan acupoint completely changed his cultivation, but only now did he really understand why Tianyan acupoint became the most important of the seven major acupoints in the human body. , Its opening brings more and more benefits to me, as if my body is constantly being transformed because of its opening. Fatty said that Tianyan acupoint is the spiritual acupoint among the seven major acupoints. It does not improve strength, but improves learning ability and adaptability. Only by continuous practice can the role of Tianyan acupoint be brought into full play. The Tianyan acupoint itself is like a huge treasure. Only by constantly digging can more wonderful treasures be discovered.
Feeling the improvement of the energy in the body and the changes in the body, Nian Bing's heart became more peaceful, and he still looked at the sky full of stars through the Tianyan acupoint. Gradually, the Tianyan acupoint became blurred, and Nian Bing entered a wonderful realm, as if His body has merged with the starlight in the sky, as if his spirit has become a part of the starlight. In the haze, he saw a vague figure in the starry sky, it seemed to be a figure made of starlight, and the chest part of this figure was the crooked first quarter moon.
The change of the light of the first quarter moon gradually accelerated, it moved up and down intermittently, suddenly, in the process of moving, the first quarter moon gradually turned into a vertical white light, and then, it began to condense continuously, towards a point of condensation, the condensed part , just below the chest.
