This is a valley that is very common in ancient battlefields. The clear stream meanders through it, making a crisp sound. There are clusters of wild flowers and colorful butterflies on the bank of the stream. The scenery is quite elegant.
Chen Xi was sitting cross-legged by the stream, sorting out various materials on his body.
In terms of combat, he is best at swordsmanship. However, the current power of the sword can no longer meet his combat needs, so he plans to refining the sword in the near future.
"What are you doing?" Huangfu Qingying walked over with a smile on her lips, her skirts fluttering and swaying, and her slim and slender body exuding amazing charm. She sat down next to Chen Xi.
"Packing things together, I plan to refine the sword." Chen Xi replied casually. Now that he had collected all the materials, there was only one more refinement process left.
The sword is different from other magic weapons. It is a talisman weapon with almost unlimited room for growth. If its quality is improved one step further, its power will be comparable to that of a semi-immortal weapon.
However, the refining process is extremely troublesome and difficult, and even the slightest mistake may destroy all the materials. In order to avoid this situation from happening, Chen Xi had to thoroughly study and classify the properties of various materials before taking further action.
Seeing that Chen Xi was focused on the various materials in front of him, Huangfu Qingying pursed his lips and smiled, stopped disturbing him, and just sat quietly next to Chen Xi, feeling extremely at ease.
She had never paid much attention to Chen Xi when she was in the Great Chu Dynasty. As the daughter of Emperor Chu, it was impossible for her to notice Chen Xi. It was at the beginning of the Star Conference that she saw Chen Xi for the first time. .
At that time, she took it for granted that Chen Xi was Sister Yaqing's follower and was of no importance. In addition, Sister Yaqing later asked her to take care of Chen Xi many times, which made her increasingly think that Chen Xi was not only a follower, but also a freeloader. This guy, who only eats sister Yaqing's soft rice, is quite unhappy in his heart.
But now, she no longer thinks so. In fact, in front of Chen Xi, she seems to be a freeloader. She is taken care of and protected by him everywhere. Even she herself does not realize that Chen Xi has become her. The most trustworthy friend, bar none.
"It's a pity, he has too many confidants..." He tilted his head and stared at Chen Xi's resolute profile. Huangfu Qingying's mind unconsciously flashed through the beauty of Qing Xiuyi, Fan Yunlan, Yaqing and other women. Beauty, I couldn't help but sigh in my heart.
These women are either unparalleled in beauty, like fairies descending from the earth, or they are enchanting and incomparably beautiful. Each one of them is so outstanding, so outstanding. Compared with them, even Huangfu Qingying has to admit that no matter how proud she is, In any aspect, there is no way for me to win completely. At most, I am evenly matched.
"Qinghe hasn't come back yet?" Chen Xi's voice suddenly sounded in his ears, awakening Huangfu Qingying from his messy thoughts.
She was startled, then shook her head and said with a smile: "No, it's been three hours, and I don't know how he will torture Hong Zhuo, but let him vent, but if it were me, I would never let him go." Kill Hong Zhuo so easily."
Just as he was talking, a burst of footsteps sounded from a distance, and Zhao Qinghe and Young Master Zhou came over.
Zhao Qinghe's expression was stern and calm. From his appearance, there was no sign of relief as he had just vented his hatred. On the contrary, the young master Zhou next to him looked at Zhao Qinghe with lingering fear, as if he was being stimulated. There is a hint of weirdness in it.
"How is it?" Chen Xi stood up and asked with a smile.
"I didn't kill him. He said that I would never have a good death, so I will show him first." Zhao Qinghe turned his palm and revealed a transparent crystal-like treasure. You can clearly see that Hong Zhuo's Yuan The god was imprisoned, struggling and roaring in despair, looking extremely miserable.
Hearing this, Young Master Zhou didn't know what unpleasant scene he remembered. He looked like he wanted to vomit but couldn't. After holding it in for a long time, he could only say one sentence: "This guy is so disgusting. You won't even beat me to death in the future." Look how he tortures people."
Huangfu Qingying was stunned. To be able to disgust Master Zhou to this extent shows how cruel and perverted Zhao Qinghe's torture methods are.
Chen Xi did not pay attention to these, but just suggested: "The existence of the soul seems to make him suffer all the time, but in fact it gives him a way to survive. If his soul is rescued, he can be reborn. of."
Zhao Qinghe was startled, nodded and said: "I didn't consider this. I will kill him completely now."
Chen Xi shook his head and said: "No, if you still feel that you are still angry, why not let his soul seize the body of an animal, then wipe out his mind and let him live with the animal all day long, and it would be good to fend for himself."
Let the majestic Crown Prince of the Daqian Dynasty seize his body and be reborn as a beast without even his mind... Huangfu Qingying and Young Master Zhou couldn't help but shuddered when they heard this. Only then did they realize that the method used to punish people was... , Chen Xi is even more perverted and cruel than Zhao Qinghe!
However, this suggestion made Zhao Qinghe smile with satisfaction, and he immediately set off towards the outside of the valley. Not long after, he came back leading Shi Shiran, a salivating beast.
The fishy saliva beast looks ugly, has a bloated body, wide mouth and fangs, and secretes an extremely fishy mucus all over its body. It is extremely disgusting. It is a common monster in the ancient battlefield. Although it is weak, no one will attack it. There is nothing you can do about it, it stinks so much, not to mention that there are no usable materials on it, even the meat is so smelly that it can poison people.
Apparently, Zhao Qinghe sealed Hong Zhuo's soul into the body of this salivating beast and wiped out his mind. He looked dull and stupid, and he could no longer recognize Chen Xi and the others.
Seeing this scene, Huangfu Qingying and Young Master Zhou couldn't help but shudder again, and couldn't help but secretly rejoice that they were not enemies of Chen Xi and Zhao Qinghe, otherwise it would be too terrible.
Worried about the safety of Qing Xiuyi and Zhen Liuqing, Chen Xi and the others did not stay any longer. Their figures flew through the air and flew towards the teleportation array in the northwest area.
On the way, when Chen Xi learned that Zhao Qinghe was robbed and killed by Hong Zhuo and others to save him, he was deeply moved. He did not expect that this guy with a cold and rock-like appearance would be so warm-hearted.
But when he heard that Lu Xiao, who came to rescue him, not only died because of himself, but also died in the hands of Huangfu Changtian, his face suddenly darkened, and he felt guilty and angry. The extremely complicated emotions were so stimulating. He almost couldn't control his murderous intention.
Huangfu Qingying and Young Master Zhou were also extremely angry. They did not expect that Huangfu Changtian would help an outsider to harm his companions. Such despicable and shameless behavior was simply heinous and deserved death!
"By the way, I forgot one thing. After Huangfu Changtian killed Lu Xiao, he was sent by Hong Zhuo to join forces with the Daxuan Dynasty in order to use the talisman in his hand to attack our Dachu Dynasty again. It will be disadvantageous for others." Zhao Qinghe seemed to suddenly remember something, his expression changed, and he said quickly.
"What? It's not enough to kill Lu Xiao, but you also want to harm other people?" Huangfu Qingying's eyes widened, and he was trembling with anger. He didn't expect this guy to be so despicable.
"This bastard really deserves to die. He thinks that by joining the first-class dynasty, he can be lawless?" Master Zhou gritted his teeth and said: "If this news is spread back to the Great Chu Dynasty, within a day of his Prince Rui's Mansion, it will become the whole practice. They are public enemies in the world, and killing everyone in their family will be an advantage to them."
"Brother Zhao, do you know where exactly Huangfu Changtian went?" Chen Xi took a deep breath and tried to calm down. He knew that no matter how angry he was at this time, it would be useless. The top priority was to quickly find out the whereabouts of Huangfu Changtian. The most important thing is to completely eliminate this black sheep.
Zhao Qinghe frowned and pondered for a long time, and then said: "There are less than three months until the final test on the ancient battlefield. The men and horses of the Daxuan Dynasty must have rushed towards the ancient city. If my estimate is correct, Chief Huangfu The sky should have gone there too.”
"The Ancient City..." Chen Xi murmured to himself, and couldn't help but think of Qing Xiuyi and Zhen Liuqing again, and his mood became heavier.
It's true that misfortunes never come singly. Qing Xiuyi and the disciples of the ancient family are mixed together, and they don't know whether they will live or die. Now that there is a black sheep like Huangfu Changtian, the situation is undoubtedly much more serious than what he thought.
"Let's go and rush to the Ancient City with all our strength!" After thinking silently for a long time, Chen Xi understood that if he wanted to solve all these problems, he must first rush to the Ancient City.
This is a vast plain, with no grass growing on the brown rocky ground, but in the center, there is a stone circle that exudes a misty luster.
The stone formation is only ten feet wide, with countless intricate runes carved on its surface. Bathed in the misty glow, it exudes a strange spatial vibration that makes the surrounding void seem to twist. This is the gateway to the Ancient City. An ancient teleportation array. Only the cultivation of the Nirvana realm can withstand the force of space shock in the teleportation array and be transported to the ancient city in an instant.
As for the monks below the Nirvana realm, once they get involved, they will be directly strangled to death by the space shock, without any possibility of survival.
At this time, monks in twos and threes were walking into the teleportation array, and with the flash of talisman light, batch after batch of monks heading to the Ancient City were sent away.
Whoosh whoosh... There was a sound of breaking through the air, and Chen Xi, Huangfu Qingying, Young Master Zhou Zhou, and Zhao Qinghe flew over and appeared in the void thousands of feet away from the teleportation array.
"Is this the teleportation array? It contains the avenue of space, and it cannot be refined by a master of the Talisman Array other than the Earthly Immortal Realm..." Chen Xi stared at the teleportation array in the distance, and he couldn't help but feel a deep feeling in his heart. Out of curiosity, he had indeed heard of the teleportation array before, but this was the first time he had actually seen it.
"Eh, Chen Xi? You are here too!" Just as Chen Xi was looking at the teleportation array, several escaping lights came from the distance again. One of them couldn't help shouting in surprise when he saw Chen Xi and others.
