The tone became much more serious.
Recently, the little witch has been getting more and more proficient at calling herself her sister, but because she can't learn that way of speaking, she has been taken advantage of a lot.
Miss Sword Fairy curled her lips.
Humph, sooner or later you will have to call me sister.
Unfortunately, although the effect she thought of was quite good, Bai Xiaoyao next to her was not affected at all and only replied with two words.
"hehe."
The topic will eventually end with haha.
The two little girls stopped communicating at the same time.
But when I stopped, a lot of thoughts came to my mind.
Something did happen on Sendai before.
Following the guidance of the immortal breath, they did find the place where the immortal breath reacted the strongest, and did trigger changes.
In the process of this change, each of them paid some price, but each of them let the other know some secrets hidden in their hearts.
Not much, but enough to serve as a fuse.
Just when the smell of gunpowder was so thick that it seemed as if a war was about to break out, the price they paid was revealed before their eyes.
Those are pictures.
After watching all the scenes, the two silent girls tacitly exchanged an agreement to cease fire.
Before the events in the royal city are over, or before something is accomplished, they will temporarily put aside their thoughts.
Well, it was a verbal agreement.
Recalling this incident, Lu Yuli and Bai Xiaoyao's eyes flickered, and no one knew what they were thinking.
After secretly glancing at each other, the two returned to silence.
Many people in the hall suddenly shuddered.
Weird? Why do I suddenly feel a little cold
Question marks popped up in the minds of the foundation-building monks who were immune to cold and heat.
The monks' intuition also made them subconsciously move a little further away from a certain corner, and they withdrew their gazes one by one.
There are many women with outstanding looks in the world of cultivation. Although few are as stunningly beautiful as the two girls in the corner, they have raised the aesthetic standards of cultivators a lot, especially for those geniuses who are qualified to compete for the Human Immortal Ranking. They will not be unable to walk at the sight of a beauty.
Of course, one of the main reasons is that no one dares to provoke the legendary witch.
Just when they were a little confused about the situation, the sound of the door suddenly closing instantly woke them up.
Everyone was shocked. They first looked at the closed palace door, and then subconsciously looked towards the depths of the hall.
Just as they had sensed, the girl in the imperial robe and crown had already stood on the main seat in the hall. Behind her followed Wutong, who was wearing a dead leaf mask. She scanned the people in the hall with her phoenix eyes with an expressionless face.
Empress
The geniuses present were startled, a little flustered, and even a little restrained.
The empress of the Immortal Kingdom, in terms of age, might even be much younger than many people in the palace, but she has already reached the Nascent Soul stage and is the emperor of a country.
Judging only from the cultivation level, perhaps only the chief of the Taoist sect can be on par with him in this generation. After all, the Holy Son of the Demon Sect was born a few years late.
Everyone was stunned for a few breaths before they thought of bowing to greet each other, but the Empress lightly waved her hand, and the spiritual power at the Nascent Soul level stopped the actions of everyone in the hall.
"This happened suddenly, and I have kept you waiting for a long time, so I will skip the formalities."
The Empress said this, but her eyes lingered on a corner that had almost no reaction, and then moved away as if nothing had happened.
"I think you all know what happened just now, so there is no need for me to say more... I will not beat around the bush. I summoned you here this time to tell you something you should know."
"But first of all, I want to inform you that, as the announcement from the Immortal Country said earlier, the competition for the Human Immortal Ranking will be moved forward to tomorrow."
Having said this, the empress paused.
The crowd, who were initially stunned, finally reacted and began to whisper.
Before the empress arrived in the palace, many people were already discussing this matter.
Some people agree, some cannot accept it, and more people are indifferent.
However, there were people who opposed it after all. It was not because some participants had not yet arrived, but because some players with special preparations lost time to prepare, and their winning rate was affected.
But the Empress's next calm words made all those who were about to speak out against her forget what they were going to say for a moment.
The young emperor spoke calmly.
"… In addition, this will also be the last Human Immortal Ranking Competition held by the Immortal Country."
As soon as he finished speaking, there was dead silence in the hall.
Chapter 420: Bai Xiaoyao smiled kindly
Time passes by.
The small meeting in the Imperial Palace that brought together those vying for the Human Immortal Ranking has ended.
Almost every contestant who attended the meeting left with an extremely ugly look on their face, with expressions of gloom, anxiety, and hesitation...
But there were two people who were complete exceptions.
"Were you just intimidated by the Empress's aura?"
"Pah, you are the one who is stunned! I just didn't expect that she would reveal the matter of the demon tribe like this!"
Miss Sword Fairy bared her teeth and glared at Bai Xiaoyao beside her.
"But in fact, her approach is very smart." Bai Xiaoyao narrowed his eyes. "The action of the demon tribe this time poses a great threat to the royal city, but those who are participating in the competition for the Human Immortal Ranking will be under the protection of the Immortal Platform, which is at least safer than most people in the royal city."
“And if it is true as she said, that the formation set up by the Immortal Country on the Immortal Trial Platform is damaged and can only support the last Human Immortal Ranking, then basically no one will choose to give up the opportunity to compete for the ranking this time. In addition, the benefits that may be brought by completely releasing the Immortal Platform formation... After weighing the pros and cons, few people will give up this opportunity because of the not-so-big risk.”
“In addition, since all the disciples present here have agreed, they will certainly try their best to inform their respective sects… If a prominent genius among them speaks up, maybe they can also bring in some allies for this Immortal Nation.”
Lu Yuli was stunned: "So that's how it is..."
There are so many tricks
Then her eyes lit up.
"So, won't there be many human clans coming to help? Then we..."
"Don't think too much."
Bai Xiaoyao glanced at her naive best friend and interrupted, "Even if there are sects that come to the scene for Tianjiao, they may not help the Immortal Kingdom during the monster chaos."
"Why?" Lu Yuli was stunned.
When asked this question, the little witch was silent for a moment, and then she spoke softly after a moment.
"... You should know that in the past, there was more than one human cultivation country in the world, right?"
"Well, what's the matter?"
Looking at the little girl who was completely unable to react to the meaning of his words, Bai Xiaoyao sighed.
Forget it, let’s exercise sister Yuli’s intelligence occasionally.
"Everyone knows that the supporters of the Immortal Kingdom are the Taoist sect, so they were able to sweep through the disputes among the nations in the past and become the only human cultivation nation in the world... But if the Immortal Kingdom has supporters, how could the other nations in the past not have supporters?"
"The Dao Sect knows the benefits of karma and merit by grasping the destiny of the human race and gathering the destiny of the world. How could other sects not know this? If these things were not of little use to our Demon Sect and if the rules could restrict the development of the Demon Sect, the human race's cultivation countries today might not necessarily be immortal countries."
Bai Xiaoyao's eyes flickered. "After the disappearance of the previous emperor of the Immortal Kingdom, anyone can see that the Immortal Kingdom is now only supported by its many years of heritage and the Taoist sect behind it. No matter how talented that female emperor is, she is still too young... She is still not good enough in the eyes of the larger sects. "
Many of these slightly larger sects covet the only cultivation country of the human race.
However, they don’t know how much heritage the Immortal Kingdom still has, and they don’t know to what extent the sect will do for the Immortal Kingdom.
And they would not openly attack the human race, the only cultivating country, without a good reason, unless something went wrong in the immortal country itself, causing complaints from the world... Originally, the disappearance of the previous emperor three years ago was a good opportunity, but no one expected that the empress, who was only at the Nascent Soul stage, would be able to reverse the decline.
On the other side, Miss Jianxian seemed to understand what was said.
She had only been practicing swordsmanship at Frost Snow Peak since she was a child, so how could she understand intrigues? Although she had suffered a lot of grievances because of her previous talent, at least Ling Shuangxue would protect this only disciple.
Bai Xiaoyao is different. The position of the Holy Maiden of the Demon Sect has to be fought for. She does not have the talent like her senior brother to sweep away all obstacles. She was able to obtain her current position from a group of Holy Maiden candidates and even earned the name of the Demon Maiden. Naturally, she is not unfamiliar with these interest-related events.
Bai Xiaoyao looked at the little girl beside her, knowing that she probably wouldn't be able to figure it out for a while, so she didn't care much and simply quickened her pace, leaving Lu Yuli, who was still thinking, behind.
Lu Yuli quickly called her: "Hey! What are you doing?"
"The Human Immortal Ranking competition will be moved forward to tomorrow, so naturally I have to go back and prepare."
"Oh... Then I'll go back too."
"... You are worthy of being me." Bai Xiaoyao had a strange look on his face.
"What's the meaning?"
"It's nothing."
Miss Sword Fairy blinked her big eyes.
She had put aside the things she couldn't figure out, and after catching up with Bai Xiaoyao for a while, she brought up a new topic.
"Are you the only one from the Demon Sect participating this time?"
"Aren't you the only one participating in the Jiange competition?"
"Speaking of this, I'm also confused. There are clearly several disciples of the headmaster who are going to come to the Sword Pavilion, but we haven't seen them till today..."
Walked a little further.
Lu Yuli: "Speaking of which, what do you think of that empress?"
Bai Xiaoyao: "Not as good as my senior brother."
Lu Yuli muttered: "Tsk, I knew you would say that, you're obsessed with your brother..."
Bai Xiaoyao frowned: "What do you mean?"
"It's nothing, I just said it casually."
Lu Yuli took back the words she had learned from someone's message and changed her words: "But the marriage contract that your master has arranged..."
"hehe."
Bai Xiaoyao smiled kindly.
… …
The sun is setting.
In the Magic Weapon Pavilion mansion.
Luo Wusheng sat up abruptly from the bed.
He was breathing heavily and cold sweat was running down his forehead.
Only after seeing his room clearly did he pull the corners of his mouth and reveal an ugly smile.
"Damn it... I just wanted to take a break, how could I have such a dream..."
He rubbed his swollen head.
After leaving Wangxianlou Inn and confirming some information, he returned to his room and fell asleep.
There are a lot of things happening in the morning, and taking a nap can help relieve some stress.
Unexpectedly, I didn’t sleep well either.
It actually started out as a wonderful dream... well, a spring dream.
And the protagonist of this dream is very unexpected.
It’s Xiao Yuli.
Oh my god, the person who used to change my sweet dreams into nightmares actually became the protagonist this time
Luo Wusheng doesn’t have this kind of dream very often, and the heroine who appears most often in his dreams is still his own junior sister... The little witch is so good at flirting.
But why did the person suddenly change this time, and he is the most deadly one
Luo Wusheng guessed that it was because he had more and more physical contact with the girl recently... After all, she was a beauty, and no matter how careful he was, he would eventually have some uncontrollable thoughts.
