Today's spiritual world has become much more dangerous, and the earthly world has also become complicated. Even though Yin Jiuxiao has recovered his strength, he still cannot kill everyone, not to mention that there is still his old enemy Lin Qingheng.
Although Yin Jiuxiao said that he was "hypocritical", he had to admit that this hypocrisy did deceive many people into falling in love with him.
Lin Qingheng's ability to use poison and purify the heavenly soul also made up for his shortcomings as an alchemist in troubled times, resulting in the two of them being evenly matched and in a stalemate for several years.
Until that relic.
Of course there are still ruins in the spiritual world today, but the difficulty is many times higher than before, and Lin Qingheng would not go to the ruins in person before. His Pure Heavenly Soul is mainly used for defense, and his ability to use poison is of no use against the pure demonic bodies or pure spiritual bodies in the ruins.
But this time it was something that needed to be obtained, so I had to make an exception.
The entire spirit world knows that the guardian under his command was seriously injured. There is a Flower Shadow Pearl in the center of the ruins that can be used to heal the wound. Lin Qingheng is a person who is very sincere to his subordinates. No matter whether it is true or false, even if it is done specially for everyone to see, he must get it.
So when the ruins were not yet opened, the two met at the entrance, still with a tense look on their faces.
This time, it was Lin Qingheng who took the initiative to speak.
"Yin Jiuxiao, I don't want to have any conflict with you this time. I must get the Flower Shadow Pearl to save people. You can take all the other things. I don't want them," he said. "If you and I have any grudges, you can come to me to settle them later. But if you stop me now, I'm afraid we will really fight to the death."
Yin Jiuxiao glanced at him.
Lin Qingheng is still the same, and it seems that there has been no change in the past few years. He is worth admiring from afar but not touching. Everyone who sees him will praise him as a saint. People outside have given him a nickname, and people behind his back call him "Immortal Lord".
But Yin Jiuxiao never liked to listen to others, and he didn't like this kind of pretentious temperament. The more kind-hearted Lin Qingheng was, the more he would go against it.
"What are you talking about, Lord Qingheng? I don't understand," he said, "Once we enter the ruins, of course everyone has to rely on their own abilities."
Lin Qingheng didn't say anything else and turned his head away. When he looked at him again, his eyes became much sharper.
As expected, this person named Yin Jiuxiao? There is no room for negotiation.
The two groups of people entered the ruins together and approached the center of the ruins together, but the matter was not that simple.
In addition to them, there is still a lord with the strongest power in the spirit world named Qianshan, who is very wary of these two rising stars. Qianshan is a mutated monster, and he is somewhat similar to Yin Jiuxiao. He has a bit of spiritual energy in his blood and a very long lifespan. He has lived for six or seven hundred years. He has also taken root in the spirit world for a long time and cannot be easily shaken.
But if Yin Jiuxiao and Lin Qingheng continue on this path, or if the two of them join hands, Qianshan's position will be in jeopardy, so he has been instigating more and more in recent years, often framing others and making the conflict between the two people deeper and deeper, but he has never really succeeded.
If it is impossible to let these two people kill each other, it would be better if they both died.
Finally they arrived at the ruins. Lin Qingheng was trying to save people, and Yin Jiuxiao was trying to plunder resources. When the two of them approached the center together, they encountered many difficulties. Later, they were ambushed by people lying in wait on Qianshan's side. When they were close to the center, they were tricked by the illusion and fell into the mechanism in the ruins together.
The people following on both sides didn't expect it. One side screamed "My Lord" and the other side shouted "Lord", but the mechanism was then closed and no one could go down.
If you fall in here, you will be in great danger.
Lin Qingheng had never expected that he and Yin Jiuxiao would fall to the same place. As soon as they fell, they were attacked by monsters. It took the two of them working together to solve the problem.
In addition to the previous battles, both of them were now injured, but Lin Qingheng seemed to be in better condition. He had a high defense and carried a lot of elixirs with him. Yin Jiuxiao was more seriously injured.
I can't go back if I go up any further. There is a dark cave next to me. There is a path, but the entrance is full of twists and turns. The atmosphere inside is mixed, so it's probably very dangerous. I don't know when I can get out.
Now the two of them took a break in this cleared path, each occupying a corner, and they were always on guard against each other.
Yin Jiuxiao had not retracted the sword in his hand. Lin Qingheng saw the sword light flash. There was no light here, but he just felt that Yin Jiuxiao was staring at him straight. The gaze was too strong for him to ignore.
In terms of fighting strength, Lin Qingheng is definitely no match for him. Even Qianshan has to be cautious about the power of the Jiuxiao Jueyun Sword. However, Yin Jiuxiao is injured now. In order to enter the ruins, Lin Qingheng has already prepared a lot of poisons on him.
Either it is to protect against the ruins, or it is to protect against other people, such as the current situation.
"I can't kill you, but Yin Jiuxiao, if you want to hurt my life, I have plenty of ways to die with you," Lin Qingheng warned, leaning against the rock wall, "We have fallen into Qianshan's trap. Now we are killing each other, but we have fallen into his trap again. It won't be too late for you and I to settle the score after we get out of this hellhole."
Yin Jiuxiao stood there without moving.
Now is indeed the best opportunity to annex Lin Qingheng's territory. If Lin Qingheng is gone, that place will be leaderless. After the annexation, we will naturally have the ability to compete with Qianshan.
But even if he was not afraid of Lin Qingheng's poison, based on Yin Jiuxiao's judgment of this place, he might not be able to get out alone.
Isn't now the time to take action
"Why would I attack Lord Qing Heng? You're overthinking it."
After a long while, Lin Qingheng heard the other party's response, and the Jiuxiao Jueyun Sword also leaned back.
But Lin Qingheng knew that at one moment, Yin Jiuxiao probably really wanted to kill him. He had already prepared the poison and hid it now.
Both sides are wary of each other, fearing that if there is a chance to escape, they might kill the other side.
But now the ruins have become extremely dangerous, and going further will prove this even more true.
This relic was just opened not long ago, and it will take at least two months before it is closed and spit out. If you don't move, you will be easily killed by this ghost place. The only way to survive is to get out.
Every few steps on this winding intersection, there will be various forces blocking them, including mechanisms, monsters and even residual souls. Fortunately, the residual souls they occasionally encounter will show them the way during the short period of time when they regain consciousness after being defeated, so there is some hope.
Yin Jiuxiao never thought that there would be a day when he would have to cooperate with the other party. What's more, after fighting several times in this place, the cooperation between the two of them even became tacit. What surprised him even more was that Lin Qingheng even saved him once.
The mechanism, combined with the guidance of the remnant soul, made it impossible to guard against it. Just when he was unable to dodge, the fox's tail suddenly swung over and pulled him away from the spot. Otherwise, Yin Jiuxiao would have been seriously injured again.
When he reacted quickly and killed the remnant soul with a sword, he heard the remnant soul that had regained consciousness giving directions. The two of them stopped to rest for a while and fell into an awkward silence.
It wasn't that Father Lin Qingheng was angry, but mainly because he had fought here several times and realized that the two of them couldn't get out without each other.
Lin Qingheng was really not good at fighting, and the poison in his body had no effect on the mechanisms or the residual souls. Yin Jiuxiao could fight, but he had many wounds, and his fighting style ignored defense. Without Lin Qingheng to hold him back, he would have been killed by these things on the way.
No? No matter how deep the resentment was, the right thing to do is to survive.
Lin Qingheng had said this to the other party many times before, and Yin Jiuxiao naturally agreed. He was not really stupid, and he had truly put away his murderous intentions. They could be considered allies for a short period of time.
Now that I was suddenly rescued, I felt a bit of an indescribable feeling in my heart. After all, this time was very different from the last time when I intervened and was poisoned by him.
The two of them were resting at this special time. Lin Qingheng was also a little exhausted and leaned against the mountain wall. He had not retracted his fiery red tail yet. The cave was so narrow that there was no place to put the huge tail, so it hung beside Yin Jiuxiao's hand.
The moment when he was swept away by the fox's tail was too short. Yin Jiuxiao only felt his waist seemed to be soft, and then it was gone. He did what he wanted to do without hesitation. Then, Lin Qingheng felt his tail was suddenly touched by the fox.
"what you do?"
He immediately retracted his tail and looked at Yin Jiuxiao with a frown.
Yin Jiuxiao touched it as he wished, and felt it was indeed soft, but it was gone the next second. He felt a little guilty, coughed, and replied: "What's wrong? It's not like a single hair is missing, I'll let you touch it anyway."
Lin Qingheng was not willing to touch him, and then he saw the other party glared at him and said, "Psycho."
Yin Jiuxiao accepted this title very naturally. After all, it was not the first time he was called that.
The two people didn't know how long they had been walking in this haunted place. According to the guidance of the residual soul, they should have been close to the exit. However, when they arrived at a place, Lin Qingheng suddenly stopped and looked up.
"This is the scent of the Flower Shadow Pearl," he said, "It's up there, very close. I have to get it."
