"... I know."
Yue Jian took a deep breath. For some reason, she inexplicably thought of the first person and Zizhu.
However, these two should not know about this matter. Even if they knew, they would not be able to take action at the right time...
"Now that things have come to this, we have no choice but to give it a try!"
Yue Jian gritted her teeth and made up her mind. If she missed this opportunity, it would be unknown whether there would be another one.
Even though this time they alerted the enemy, the Xuanyuan family will definitely take strict precautions against the "Zhuolu Wilderness", and it will be extremely difficult to infiltrate again at that time.
The reason why the Xuanyuan family is not on guard right now is because they don't know if anyone dares to attack their ancestral tomb...
Yue Jian turned her head to look at the "Realm of Nothingness" and took a deep breath.
The bright red peach blossom mark on her forehead suddenly became brighter, as if blood was about to drip. The phantom of the nine-tailed fox became more solid, as if it were real. A rich and subtle fragrance filled the air, emitting a faint pink hue.
"Walk!"
Tsukimi's nine-tailed fox stretched out, wrapped up Tumei and Iris, and then flew directly towards the "Realm of Nothingness".
The magic she cast diverted the Xuanyuan family's attention slightly. The sound of war drums approached quickly, but it was a little behind, buying time for Yuejian to step into the "Zhuolu Plain".
Yue Jian didn't want to be discovered by the Xuanyuan family. Her identity as the Lord of Qingqiu was almost known to everyone. If the Xuanyuan family knew that the Lord of Qingqiu had secretly come to dig up their ancestral graves, they would have to send a large army to the "Kingdom of Qingqiu" to dig up the ancestral graves.
This time, Luo Ling did not remind the Xuanyuan family that they had taken the wrong path. Yue Jian wanted the forbidden power, and she wanted it too.
It is obviously not what Luo Ling wants to see that Yue Jian loses the chance to step into the "Zhuolu Wilderness". To muddy the water is the same as to drain it dry.
But...
"Leave some more information for the Xuanyuan family."
Luo Ling thought about it and curled the corners of his mouth slightly.
Add a little fuel to the fire so they can go all out.
Of course, Luo Lingbing had no intention of exposing Yue Jian's identity as the Lord of Qingqiu, even though she knew that doing so would make Yue Jian very distressed, and even be the thing Yue Jian was most worried and afraid of, but it would also involve many innocent people.
At least the people of "Qingqiu Kingdom" have no grudges against Luo Ling, so there is no need to retaliate in this way.
Every wrong has its perpetrator and every debt has its creditor. Yuejian must pay back the debt she owes to him herself.
When they were about to reach the "Realm of Nothingness", Yue Jian threw away a necklace, which should be a precious sacrificial object, because Luo Ling saw a hint of pain flash across Yue Jian's face at this moment, but it soon turned into determination.
This necklace should be used to speed up the casting of secret spells. However, in just a blink of an eye, Yue Jian completed the secret spell to jump to the "Zhuolu Wilderness".
"... There's still time."
Yue Jian secretly breathed a sigh of relief. Fortunately, no more mistakes occurred and she was blocked at the door by the Xuanyuan family. Otherwise, she would have to pay a greater price to escape.
Although there is no real controller of "Zhuolu Wilderness", after the various arrangements made by the Xuanyuan family over the years, they are still able to exercise some control over the kingdom of God, and locking the door is no problem.
However, even if the road to the kingdom of God is opened before the door is locked, there will still be many troubles to encounter afterwards. The Xuanyuan family will never give up. They will definitely send their children into the "Zhuolu Wilderness".
"We'll talk about what happens next later." Yue Jian said secretly, "We can't give up on our planning for so many years."
In fact, when the path to becoming a god was first proposed, Yue Jian's first reaction was the ruins of the ancient battlefield, but she did not expect it to be Victoria, which had not yet been completely destroyed at that time.
But it doesn't matter. After what happened with Victoria, Yuejian is more confident of obtaining this power.
Even though I was pulled back a little by someone when I was just about to score, it doesn't matter, as long as everything goes smoothly next time.
With this thought in mind, Yue Jian no longer wasted time. Under the cover of the Nine-Tailed Fox, the secret barrier opened and closed instantly. The figures of several people disappeared in an instant and stepped into the "Zhuolu Plain of the End" of the Kingdom of God.
But within a few breaths, several figures, some burly and some tall, appeared above the sky. They looked at the place where everyone at the tea party disappeared with slightly frowned, their faces becoming a little gloomy.
... They were still a step too late after all.
"Who the hell are these little thieves? How dare they come and disturb the slumber of our ancestors!"
The burly man in the lead had his eyes wide open in anger, and with just a few low roars, the eardrums of the people around him seemed to be bursting, and they could not help but cover their ears tightly.
Xuanyuan Muwu, the grand elder of the Xuanyuan family's law enforcement hall, stays in the "Ruins of Kunlun" all year round. Even though most of the Xuanyuan family's top leaders have gone to the clan temple to worship their ancestors during this period, he still stays in the city.
I thought it was just an ordinary day, but suddenly I received a strange message saying that someone was going to dig up my ancestral grave.
When Xuanyuan Muwu heard this, he was outraged. He ignored the advice of others and did not verify the authenticity of the information. He directly beat the war drum and led the Law Enforcement Hall team to rush straight to the ancestral tomb... Oh, no, the location of the "Zhuolu Wilderness".
This is the reason why Luo Ling heard the sound of war drums in the distance just after he sent out the inside message and before he even regained his composure.
The result was just as Xuanyuan Muwu's intuition had said, there was indeed a thief who tried to get his hands on the "Zhuolu Wilderness", and he succeeded right under their noses, and they didn't even have time to seal off the Kingdom of God.
"Perhaps he just heard rumors from the outside world and mistakenly believed that there were ancient treasures in the "Zhuolu Wilderness". In the early years, there were indeed many such reckless thieves, but almost all of them never came back and no thieves cared about them anymore. This commotion is just adding more souls to the ancient battlefield in vain."
Next to Xuanyuan Muwu, a young woman with sword-like brows, bright eyes, but white hair, holding a sword, said softly, she is Xuanyuan Muxue, the second elder of the Law Enforcement Hall.
At first, she didn't believe that there was such an absurd thing. The "Zhuolu Wilderness" was not a treasure land, but a truly dangerous place. This was the information brought back by most of the Xuanyuan family's deceased relatives.
Even the Xuanyuan family would only step into it before they die, and the reason is very simple... Those who are weak will basically die and rarely survive, and those who are strong will be at risk of falling and will not get any rewards, so there is no need to take such a risk.
Outsiders often say that the Xuanyuan family is an absolute war maniac who cannot be provoked. Their enthusiasm for battle is second only to that of the Knights of God whose brains are completely burned out. But internally, they are relatively rational.
Apparent madness is also only a part of rationality.
In other words, the Xuanyuan family would not just rush into a fight no matter what the circumstances... Even if they wanted to start a war, they would still have to consider the gains and losses.
If all the members were really green and inexperienced, the Xuanyuan family would not have been able to grow and prosper, and they would have been basically dead just like the chosen knights.
... Of course, it is not ruled out that some of the Xuanyuan disciples are more fanatical.
"Even so, our ancestors cannot be insulted." Xuanyuan Muwu snorted coldly and raised his hand, "Take my battle flag. I want to enter the "Zhuolu Wilderness" and personally capture and kill these little thieves to comfort the souls of our ancestors!"
"... ..."
Xuanyuan Muxue was silent for a while, then said faintly,
"You know, you don't need to comfort the ancestral spirits of Zhuolu Wilderness. They were the ones who killed the thieves."
Almost all the Xuanyuan disciples who set foot in the "Zhuolu Wilderness" will die in the ancient battlefield after exhausting battles. Their souls will be infected by the blood evil and become part of the battlefield, wandering forever between wars.
Perhaps this situation is unacceptable to others. When a person dies, it is like a light goes out, and they should rest in peace.
But from the Xuanyuan family's point of view... rest in peace? They will never rest in peace in this life. They don't even want to rest in peace after death. For them, becoming a part of the ancient battlefield is more like an honor.
So, Xuanyuan Muwu just wanted to go in himself.
That’s right, Xuanyuan Muwu is one of those “whose fanaticism is more intense than others, not ruled out.”
Xuanyuan Muwu had always wanted to enter this ancient battlefield for trial, but he was always blocked by his tribesmen and he didn't even have a chance to sneak in.
But whether in terms of status or strength, Xuanyuan Muwu is very important to the Xuanyuan family. If he were to die in the "Zhuolu Wilderness" by accident, it would be a huge loss.
"Brother, my uncle has told me to keep a close eye on you." Xuanyuan Muxue sighed, "Don't worry about it. I'll go in and ask the ancestral spirits in a few days. If they are all dead, then they are dead. If they are not dead, we can deal with them separately."
Although the "Zhuolu Wilderness" is very dangerous, it is not a sure death. In addition, Xuanyuan Muxue is the gravekeeper of this generation and has the ability to communicate with the souls of his ancestors. He is one of the few people in the Xuanyuan family who can travel freely in the "Zhuolu Wilderness".
"No, no, no, little sister, don't worry about it, I'll take care of it." Xuanyuan Muwu said repeatedly, but Xuanyuan Muxue just raised her eyes and lightly warned him, and the burly man shrank his head, "Okay, I won't go, you are not allowed to complain to my uncle..."
"hehe."
Xuanyuan Muxue smiled without comment.
At this moment, the flock of crows nearby suddenly cried loudly, and then scattered away.
When everyone's attention was attracted by the flock of crows flying towards the sky, the sharp-eyed Xuanyuan Muxue discovered that there was actually one last crow left on the dead tree where the crows were originally located.
And, this crow was very different.
There seemed to be a hidden gaze in that pair of smart eyes, watching everyone's every move, monitoring them at all times.
"who!"
Xuanyuan Muxue shouted coldly, and the sword light flashed like rain, directly stabbing the crow and the dead tree into a sieve.
"What's wrong?"
When Xuanyuan Muwu saw his younger sister taking action, he also clenched his fists, and the surrounding law enforcement team immediately became alert.
"... Someone is secretly watching us." Xuanyuan Muxue frowned slightly and whispered, "What's going on? This feeling of being watched still hasn't disappeared."
She inadvertently glanced at the crow that she had turned into a pulp, and was instantly horrified.
There was a pool of blood, flesh and feathers on the ground. The crow's corpse looked like no bird at all. However, its black eyes were still bright and it was still staring at them.
"Don't do it, I'm still a friendly force after all."
A voice that could not be identified as male or female, or old or young, sounded in Xuanyuan Muxue's mind. It was exactly the same voice that informed her that someone was digging up her ancestral grave.
Xuanyuan Muxue, who had just drawn his sword and was about to strike a few more times, hesitated for a moment and tried to respond in his mind,
"Who are you... "
She had heard of this kind of telepathic communication in the past, but this was the first time she had encountered it.
Just now, because her second brother insisted on coming over directly, Xuanyuan Muxue did not think much about it. Now that they met again, she couldn't help but start to doubt the purpose of this guy who could transmit sound in her mind.
"It doesn't matter who I am. What matters is that your ancestral grave is really going to be dug up." The voice continued, "These people are not petty thieves. Their purpose in coming to the "Zhuolu Wilderness" is to seize the "forbidden" power sealed inside.
"I don't know if you have heard of it, but it has not been shown on the taboo slab here. This "taboo" is the "Heavenly Lady Ba" of the "Nightmare", an existence that controls the power of "Red Water". "
Chapter 19: Special Attack on Iris! (5k)
From the information vaguely revealed by Yue Jian, it can be seen that the Xuanyuan family attaches great importance to the "Zhuolu Plain", but not too much.
This kingdom of God, which they regard as their ancestral tomb, is essentially a deadly and dangerous place. Unless it is necessary, the Xuanyuan disciples will rarely set foot in it.
Therefore, even though they knew someone had forced their way in, the Xuanyuan Family’s attitude was not clear—after all, if the intruder was not strong, such behavior would be seeking death.
Yue Jian was betting that since most of the Xuanyuan family's descendants would gather in the clan ancestral hall to worship their ancestors, the remaining law enforcement officers would choose to wait and see out of caution, buying some time for her to act quickly.
only...
How could Luo Ling allow Yue Jian to have a chance to catch her breath? Even if it was just for a few days.
No matter what, we need to give this cunning and sinister old fox some more power.
Therefore, before leaving, Luo Ling left a trail of mycelium to control the skinny black crow nearby, and used his mind to watch the actions of the Xuanyuan family through the black crow's eyes.
During the period of Luo Ling's surveillance, Xuanyuan Muxue frowned from time to time because she always felt that some lingering gazes were staring at her from nowhere.
It was a hunch, but she couldn't find its source.
It must be said that even though Yue Jian was already gambling, she controlled the outcome of the bet quite precisely. Just as she expected, the Xuanyuan family did back down. They also did not want to go deep into the dangerous "Zhuolu Wilderness" just because of a few petty thieves.
But... it's a pity.
Luo Ling will always be an unexpected variable in Yue Jian's perfect plan.
When the Xuanyuan family was planning to retreat temporarily and make plans after the top leaders returned from the worship ceremony, Luo Ling finally decided to show up, attracting the attention of Xuanyuan Muxue.
"Tian Nu Ba?" Xuanyuan Muxue's expression suddenly froze when she heard the name. "Wait, is it really Tian Nu Ba? But... how could she be a "taboo"? "
"Um?"
Luo Ling was slightly stunned.
What does this mean? Even the Xuanyuan family doesn’t know this
The fifth in the weird sequence, "Nightmare", "Tiannu Ba", controls the power of "Red Water". This was revealed to Iris by Yuejian. In the forbidden stone tablet in Luo Ling's memory, the corresponding position is unclear.
After Victoria was completely shattered, Luo Ling discovered that the "burial ground" of the past had disappeared. Perhaps it was annihilated into nothingness along with Victoria's infinite cycle of three hundred years. However, this situation brought a trouble. Luo Ling lost the information about the strange sequence.
The "forbidden stone tablet" of the Great Xia Imperial City is a sky-high monument, placed by the Xuanyuan family in their kingdom of God, but Valhalla does not have anything similar. Their understanding of the strange sequence only came after they came into contact with the Great Xia Imperial City. Before that, they only had a general concept of the throne of God.
However, just like Victoria's "company" headquarters, the Xuanyuan family is also unable to completely prevent the outflow of strange sequence information. They erected a stone tablet in the imperial city of "Kunlun Ruins" and regularly disclosed the strange sequence for anyone to come and check.
Since Luo Ling had just arrived at the Great Xia Imperial City not long ago, she had not had time to check the differences between the strange sequence and the burial ground recorded in the Great Xia Imperial City, so she thought that "Tian Nu Ba" was also in the public sequence.
Xuanyuan Muxue's reaction was beyond Luo Ling's expectations, which made her feel even more that something was wrong.
How come Yue Jian knew something that even the Xuanyuan family, who controlled the forbidden stone tablet, didn't know
Could it be that...
Has the forbidden stone tablet in the Great Xia Imperial City been artificially modified, just like the one at the "company" headquarters
Luo Ling did not doubt that Yue Jian's information was wrong. Given her cautious character, she would not take such a risk of losing everything if she was not careful. She must have made full preparations in advance and would not set out without even figuring out the ultimate goal.
... Unless there is a traitor like Luo Ling who successfully deceived Yue Jian with sweet words, but the probability of this possibility is not high.
"Surveillance?" Hearing this, Xuanyuan Muwu's eyes widened again. He drew out his sword and looked around, growling, "Where is he? Who are you, the villain who dares to spy on your grandfather Xuanyuan in our territory? Get out of here!"
At the same time, other Xuanyuan disciples also took out their weapons, exuding a fierce and aggressive aura, as if they were ready to fight if they disagreed.
The only one who didn't fit in was Xuanyuan Muxue. When she saw this scene, the corners of her mouth twitched slightly.
