Feeling offended, Iris said with dissatisfaction, "Even though she is a little weaker and dumber, she can't be expelled from the team of God's Favored Ones just because of this, right?"
"Sorry, subconsciously..."
Yue Jian curled the corner of her mouth. She knew very well that Iris's God-favored One was indeed genuine, but the problem was that this girl was too unreliable.
If this were a different identity, no matter how powerful Iris was, Yuejian would not dare to bring her here.
"There shouldn't be any spies left, right?" Yuejian looked at Tumi again and asked in a deep voice.
"Let me check again." Tumi closed her eyes again, and after a while she continued, "No problem, the several nodes I set are all normal."
"Huh, I finally got through this disaster."
Yuejian breathed a sigh of relief and glanced at Iris.
"What are you looking at me for again?"
Iris always felt that Yuejian's gaze was a little unclear, so she took a few steps back warily.
Perhaps it was because the shadow left by "Purple Pearl" was too heavy, which caused Iris to be instinctively wary of all the plump older sisters.
Compared with the current Sister Tsukimi, the tea party version of Loli Tsukimi makes her feel more at ease.
In Iris's case, it's hard to say whether she is obsessed with looks or not...
"It's your turn next - don't worry, it's not difficult." Yue Jian said softly, "Do you still remember the identity of the god "Jingwei" you follow?"
"What is your identity?"
Iris asked subconsciously.
“… … ..”
Yuejian and Tumi were silent for a while.
No, should this question also be asked in reverse
Even Luo Ling couldn't bear it anymore and patted Iris' head with her wings.
"Oh, I think I remember... right?" Iris looked at the two of them uncertainly, her eyes wandering.
“Forget it, let me tell you.” Yue Jian really didn’t want to educate a god’s followers about the knowledge of following the god, but she was helpless in this situation and could only explain, “The legendary ancient war in the “Zhuolu Plain” was a battle between the “Emperor” and the “Lord of War.”
"Emperor" refers to the Yellow Emperor and Yan Emperor. For some reason, they did not appear in the sequence, but they were also regarded as the ancestors by the Xuanyuan family and obtained corresponding power. The "Heavenly Girl Ba" we are looking for is the daughter of the Yellow Emperor. And the "Jingwei" you are following was the youngest daughter of the Yan Emperor.
"Relying on the connection between the two, we can find the "Heavenly Lady Ba" who disappeared in the "Final Zhuolu Wilderness." "
"Oh, I see."
Iris nodded in sudden realization. She knew that Jingwei was the daughter of Emperor Yan, but she was not sure if this was the identity Yuejian was referring to.
She paused for a moment and continued, "So... our target is Master Jingwei's best friend?"
"... I guess so." Yue Jian sighed softly. It was fine as long as this idiot could understand it.
"Tian Nu Ba" also has not appeared in the sequence, but from the reliable information she has received, "Tian Nu Ba" of "Nightmare" is hidden in the fifth place in the sequence and is a "taboo".
"Now, let's get going."
Yue Jian's expression restrained slightly, and he continued to drive the pink mist, going deeper into this eerie and terrifying ancient battlefield.
Iris and Tumi, with trembling legs, followed directly. Luo Ling, who was nestled on Iris's head, watched the scene in silence.
At the same time, another part of her mind appeared in the body of Black Crow, also in the "Zhuolu Wilderness of the End".
That’s right, the Xuanyuan family’s memorial team did leave, and even Xuanyuan Muxue, who was in charge of leading the team, did not leave, nor did she leave any tricks or backup plans - in fact, they couldn’t stay even if they wanted to.
This is the "Zhuolu Wilderness of the End", a place eroded by "Doomsday". Apart from Luo Ling's extremely special way of communicating with the outside world, even Tumi, whose power is originally related to surveillance, cannot do so and can only maintain it for a short time.
But only one person was left.
Xuanyuan Muyan.
Xuanyuan Muyan left the team while avoiding all eyes and ears. This was not difficult for her since she was good at beheading and assassination.
Back then, Xuanyuan Linglong was able to kill people on a spree in "Penglai Island". Xuanyuan Muyan was no less inferior to her mother in this respect. Hiding oneself is a compulsory course for every assassination master.
Tu Mi was completely unaware of Xuanyuan Mu Yan's existence; only Luo Ling could sense it with the help of Hei Ya's body.
But what shocked Luo Ling even more was that even so, she still couldn't figure out Xuanyuan Muyan's location. She only knew that she was still in the "Final Zhuolu Wilderness".
—Perhaps because she was worried that "Miss Black Crow" would expose herself, Xuanyuan Muyan still kept this trick hidden.
What a terrifying assassin he is... He is so elusive, and has such powerful strength that he can compete with Lord Xuanyuan. It is really scary.
After realizing this, Luo Ling suddenly had a mysterious perception from the bottom of her heart. Just outside the pink mist, a pair of dangerous eyes were watching them all the time. A long sword hidden in its sheath was ready to strike, aiming directly at everyone's neck.
Fortunately, there is no need to worry for the time being, at least not about Miss Iris’ safety.
The reason why Luo Ling directly showed the image of "Jingwei" to the Xuanyuan family was not only because she herself could not make a good-looking bird, but also because she wanted to show some attitude to the Xuanyuan family so that even if they really took action, they would avoid Miss Iris as much as possible.
However, since Xuanyuan Muyan has been dispatched in this way, it is certainly impossible that they just want to drive Yuejian out. They must want to start with these "tomb robbers" and learn more about the specific situation of "Tiannu Ba".
After all, this is a legend about the "Emperor", the ancestor of the Xuanyuan family. Even if they are not tempted by the forbidden power of "Ba the Goddess", they must find out why she is listed as a taboo.
Until now, even the Xuanyuan family has not figured out why the "Emperor" has not appeared in the sequence, but has the same power of the corresponding path as the gods in the sequence.
“… … .”
Xuanyuan Muyan, who was disguised by Luo Ling as a sturdy village woman through various means, sat on a mass grave. She looked up in a certain direction and vaguely saw several figures appear in the sky, but her calm gaze did not change from beginning to end.
Once all attention falls on her, it will be irreversibly diverted, even Luo Ling's perception of Hei Ya's body is no exception.
"Mother guessed correctly, it is indeed her. The Lord of Qingqiu is Su Ling. The other one is the chosen one of Jingwei... It seems to be related to Miss Black Crow, so be careful. As for the last one... Wait, is it her? Shouldn't she be dead? She looks so young... Could she be her descendant?"
When Xuanyuan Muyan's gaze fell on Tumi, a hint of surprise appeared on his indifferent expression.
"Perhaps it has something to do with the recent incident in Valhalla. Haha... That's it."
Even if that being really came back to life, Xuanyuan Muyan was just surprised and not afraid at all, even though the opponent's most horrifying achievement was causing a "world" in Valhalla to wither.
It was slightly different from Luo Ling's guess. The reason why Xuanyuan Muyan chose to continue to hide was not only because the Xuanyuan family wanted to find out the information of "Tiannu Ba", but more importantly...
"Do you really think we know nothing, like the Knights of God, who only have muscles for brains? Or do you think... as long as we do it without leaving any traces, it's enough?"
Xuanyuan Linglong, who was pushing a wheelchair in the courtyard to water the flower beds, raised her head, and her injured right eye slightly opened, breathing in and out the breath of "doomsday".
Several golden lights were seen shooting up into the sky from the depths of Kunlun Palace. Their might shocked the "Ruins of Kunlun" and attracted the attention of the entire Great Xia Imperial City.
She knew that this was her great-uncle Xuanyuan Gong, who had brought a few clan elders to visit several forces and return the gifts.
There must be give and take, and if one's ancestors' graves are dug up, they must be dug up again. This is the way between host and guest.
"It's no use catching a fool who has been fooled. We have to root him out completely to end it."

Chapter 27: The Moment of Death, Arrival (5k)
In "The Final Battle of Zhuolu".
On the devastated land, countless dead souls are wandering. They have no memory of their previous lives, nor any consciousness. They rely solely on instinct to wander around this ancient battlefield that exists in "legend".
These are not the ancestors of the Xuanyuan family, but the wandering souls who died in the "Zhuolu Wilderness".
Whether due to war or natural disasters, these wandering souls were faithfully recorded by this kingdom of God before the "Zhuolu Wilderness" completely fell into nothingness.
As for the ancestors of the Xuanyuan family, most of them still retained a certain level of combat effectiveness when they entered the "Zhuolu Wilderness", and they would definitely find a good Feng Shui location for their death.
Only a few are unfortunate enough to become wandering ghosts, but even so, the memorial services organized by the gravekeepers will allow them to receive the death they deserve.
Although the ancient war in the "Zhuolu Wilderness" only exists in legends, when it still existed in the past, it was also an extremely prosperous place with countless treasures buried here, which attracted competition from many forces.
Of course, the result is obvious. The Xuanyuan family won the final Battle of Zhuolu, but the problem is, I don’t know if it was because of the years of war or other reasons that attracted the attention of "Doomsday" and finally ushered in the end.
The place where Luo Ling and others are now is just a kingdom of God. Of course, there are no treasures from the past.
It’s just that... Yue Jian and other tomb robbers who dig up other people’s ancestral graves are not doing it for treasures. What they want is something more precious.
As we continued to advance deeper into the battlefield, the number of wandering souls gradually decreased, but they became more powerful.
In fact, the most terrifying one was a white-browed tiger that turned into a corpse. Its sturdy and majestic body was as huge as a mountain, but it was rotten and full of holes. Even its internal organs turned into pus with a foul smell, but its roar was still creepy.
This should be the mount of a certain existence who participated in the Battle of Zhuolu in the past. After being eroded by "Doomsday", its strength has increased greatly. Even Yuejian and Tumi have to deal with it carefully, which shows the danger of this "Final Zhuolu Wilderness".
It took them a lot of effort to finally capture the white-browed tiger, and then they continued to go deeper. Along the way, they had already dealt with quite a few of these creatures. If Yuejian had come alone, her chances would have been at least 50% to 60% lower.
Luo Ling, who had been staying on Iris's head, could still slightly sense Xuanyuan Muyan who was wandering around. She had been following the grave-digging team from a distance in a way that was imperceptible to others.
Even though Tumi carefully left monitoring nodes along the way, he was unable to discover the existence of Xuanyuan Muyan.
Only Luo Ling, who already knew this, felt uneasy all the time.
It was not until everyone reached a place where there were almost no wandering souls that Yue Jian finally stopped.
Looking around, everything was in ruins, with dried-up rivers, collapsed mountains, and dead forests that could never revive. Countless corpses were abandoned here, and the blood that had long since dried had dyed the earth black and red. Even the gentle breeze carried an unbearable murderous intent, as if a dagger had cut across the cheek.
"This is the place where the ancient legend of the 'Battle of Zhuolu' was fought, and it is also the place where the 'Goddess of Heaven' was born in the legend." Even Yue Jian couldn't stand the oppressive atmosphere around her. A rare discomfort appeared on her charming face, and her eyebrows were squeezed together. "It's time to call Xuemei."
For the Xuanyuan family, the snow plums are too conspicuous and cannot be covered up by just a little pink mist.
Once Xuemei appears in the heartland of the Xuanyuan family, let alone stepping into the vicinity of the "Zhuolu Plain", she might not even be able to pass through the Forest of Steles. The Xuanyuan family is not so blind that they are indifferent to the appearance of a "god".
Because of this, when Yue Jian first learned about Xuemei's true identity, she wanted to give up this cooperation.
However, Xuemei said that she had her own way to enter the "Zhuolu Plain of the End", but Yuejian needed to bring her token to the corresponding location first.
Ordinary beings cannot do this, because "The Zhuolu Wilderness of the End" is a special kingdom of God eroded by "Doomsday", so it is almost absolutely isolated from the outside world. Even if some space-type sacrificial instruments are brought, there is no way to directly pull people in from the outside world.
Therefore, Yuejian was a little curious about how Xuemei did it. Even "taboo" is not omnipotent, let alone "god". Besides... Xuemei's condition is obviously problematic.
Soon, Yuejian took out the token that Xuemei gave her.
A small fragment of antler.
Although Yue Jian wanted to complain about why Xuemei was obviously a female deer but had huge and gorgeous antlers, she was from a legend after all, and the "Gushe Goddess" in the legend looked like this anyway.
Yue Jian directly injected inspiration into this section of the holy remains that showed no signs of refining, and soon it emitted colorful light.
In full view of everyone, the antlers slowly hung in the air, gradually turning into the shape of a deer. When it finally stepped on the ground, it had become a tall and sturdy snow-colored giant deer.
There were some ice crystals hanging on the antlers, and a pair of cold eyes revealed a little bit of intelligence, but it was difficult to sense even a little bit of human breath.
"this... "
Luo Ling looked at this scene and her green bean-sized eyes widened a little.
She truly felt Xuemei's current situation.
Yuejian and Tumi's understanding of the weird or gods is actually not bad. They are all favored by gods and are not fools like Iris. But compared to Luo Ling, their understanding is still too weak.
Luo Ling could clearly feel that the Xuemei who appeared here was exactly the same as the Xuemei he met last time.
But the problem is... He didn't come in through this so-called token, or other methods from the outside world, but...
This small piece of deer antler is not a token of loyalty at all, it is Xuemei's real body!
It is true that Xuemei is the "Gushe Goddess", but she is only a part of her, not complete.
Or in other words, Xuemei is almost the holy remains of the "Gushe Goddess" that has become a spirit.
"No wonder I felt something was wrong before... And as a 'high-risk weirdo' with a personality, I don't even have any followers. So this is what's going on." Luo Ling flapped his wings slightly and fell into deep thought.
Even in this case, there is not much difference between Xuemei and the real "Gushe Goddess" in rank. She just has lost her accumulation and believers, so her power is much weaker.
Of course, even at this level, Xuemei is still not on the same level as ordinary gods.
After Xuemei appeared, she nodded slightly in the direction of Iris, then looked at Yuejian and spoke lightly,
"Is everything ready?"
"Um."
Yue Jian nodded seriously.
"good."
Xuemei raised her front legs and stomped lightly. In an instant, a beautiful light spread like flowing water. Her burly deer body disappeared, and she turned into a tall, cold and beautiful woman.
Her long light blue hair was casually spread out, her eyes were replaced by two clear ice crystals, and she was wearing a snow-white long dress. Her extremely beautiful face was as indifferent as eternal ice, without any emotion at all.
However, it can be seen that He is not very adaptable to the human form. At the beginning of His incarnation, His figure seemed a little staggering, and He was supporting Himself by relying on the strength of His body.
