Hearing Xuan Ye's icy voice, Duan felt a chill in his heart, but he still mustered up the courage to ask: "Xuan Ye... Priest, I want to ask, is Yue Yue okay now?"
Xuan Ye frowned, and turned around abruptly, with a sharp light in his eyes. Under his imposing gaze, Dumb couldn't help but lower his head. Xuan Ye said with some disgust: "My daughter is very good, and you don't need to care about her. Dumb, you have to remember that my daughter is different from you. She is now concentrating on practicing sacred magic. I don't want her to be disturbed. After you recover from your injury, please leave the Holy See as soon as possible. Don't worry, I have not forgotten the five-year agreement made by the Sword Master of Tiangang. At that time, if you can really win the fight, I will talk about it." After finishing speaking, his head shook I left without returning.
Dumb's heart was plunged into ice-coldness, and his body trembled slightly. He knew that Yueyue was in the Holy See, perhaps, only a few rooms away from him, but Xuan Ye's words completely sealed his heart . Xuan Ye has already made it very clear that he and Yueyue are not the same kind of people at all, and Yueyue is the daughter of the priest in red from the Holy See. But what about myself? What are you? As he thought with self-pity, his heart couldn't help throbbing, and the scenes of being with Yueyue kept flashing in his mind. Yueyue, I really miss you, I really want to find you! But, can I really find you? I can't! We are people of two worlds and we are misfits. Duan grabbed the edge of the bed in pain, unable to let go of it for a long time.
Early the next morning, Xuan Ye brought the dumb five to the Temple of Prayer again. The Pope and the presiding judge Xuan Yuan were waiting for them.
When the Pope saw the arrival of Dumb and the others, he immediately showed a warm smile, "After a night's rest, I really feel much better. Dumb, I'm looking for you today. There are two main things that I hope you can consider carefully. The first one, I think Let me ask for your opinions and see if you are willing to join the Holy See. Although you are not practicing the skills of the Holy See, I appreciate you very much and hope that you can join our bright family. In the Holy See, you will get Better training opportunities."
The five people were stunned at the same time, Zhuo Yun said without hesitation: "I'm sorry, my lord Pope, we elves will not join any organization, only the elf forest is the most suitable for us." In her heart, the Holy See has no place at all, Where were these people who claimed to be closest to God while she and her people were suffering? Even if there is a god, it has nothing to do with their elves. She just wants to escort Xing'er back to the elves as soon as possible.
The Pope nodded, looked at Dumb and Brother Rock, and asked, "What about you?"
Duan was constantly struggling in his heart. Xuan Ye’s words yesterday had caused him great harm and filled him with low self-esteem. Hearing that the Pope was willing to let him join the Holy See, his heart couldn’t help but move. Once he became a member of the Holy See Naturally, their identities are different, so there is a good chance to get along with Xuanyue. The thought of seeing Yueyue again makes his heart warm. However, he clearly knew that he was a member of the Tiangang Sword Sect, so how could he join the Holy See? Everything that he experienced in the Sunset Empire before is still in his mind. If it wasn’t for the protection of the Holy See, how would the dark forces of the Sunset Empire dare to be so rampant? He raised his head, glanced at the expressionless Xuan Ye, shook his head, and said, “I’m sorry, My Lord Pope, I can’t join the Holy See. Princess Xing’er’s blood of the Elf King is already very weak. We must send her back to the Elf Forest as soon as possible. This time, I’m also saying goodbye to you. Thank you again for your previous help. Grace."
The Pope frowned looking at Ah-Dai's lonely expression, and sighed, "Everyone has his own aspirations, and I won't force you. I just hope that you can become a friend of the Holy See."
Dumb hadn't answered yet, but Yanli rushed to say: "As long as your Holy See doesn't protect those bastards of dark forces, how can we become your enemies?"
Rock pulled his brother and said to the pope, "I'm sorry, my lord pope, my brother is too impulsive. Please forgive me." Don't say that this is the territory of the Holy See, just the three continents in the Temple of Prayer. The characters are not something they can deal with. The Holy See has an ambiguous attitude towards various forces on the mainland, and Rock has some concerns in his heart.
After listening to Yan Li's words, Xuan Yuan had a slight smile in his eyes. Seeing his elder brother deflated has always been the most exciting thing for him. What's more, he also hated those scum of the Sunset Empire.
The Pope was not angry because of Yanli's words, but just sighed and said: "On this issue, the Holy See is indeed wrong. The ancestors of the Sunset Empire have a deep relationship with the Holy See, so we naturally have to take care of them. However, They have really caused too much trouble in the past few years, and I will deal with it. That being said, you are also unwilling to join the Holy See."
Rock said neither humble nor overbearing: "Yes, our brothers are from the Puyan tribe. Maybe others don't know the history of the Puyan tribe. I think you should know."
A look of surprise flashed in the pope's eyes, and even Xuanyuan's expression became serious. The history of the Puyan tribe is very mysterious. The pope only found records about them in the ancient books of the Holy See after hearing Xuanyue talk about it last time. , he deeply knew that the Puyan people’s sufferings for thousands of years could not be resolved in a few words, and with some apology in his voice, the pope said: “I know about the Puyan people, but the situation at the beginning was very delicate. It is easy to eliminate the evil forces, and His Majesty Shenyu is afraid of accidents, so only the Puyan tribe can be wronged."
Neither Yanshi nor Yanli spoke again, but their eyes showed a look of indignation. Duan couldn't help but said: "Why did you wrong the Puyan tribe? At the beginning, the Puyan tribe should have done the most." The Pope sighed and said: "At that time, almost all the regions of the mainland had been re-divided. The people of the Puyan tribe finally helped His Majesty Shenyu eliminate the demon god, so how could they give up their territory? You also know how vast the Puyan tribe’s earliest territory was. If it was all returned to them, I’m afraid they would not be able to manage it, right? Moreover, there may be another bloodbath on the mainland due to the scramble for territory. In this matter, the Holy See can only say sorry to the Puyan tribe. However, I think that His Majesty Shenyu's choice was not wrong. Alright , don’t mention the past, since none of you are willing to join the Holy See, I won’t force it. And the second thing is about the Pluto sword. Dumb, can you show me your Pluto sword? "
Dumb was startled, took a step back subconsciously, pressed his right hand on his chest, and said vigilantly: "Master Pope, I will not hand over the Pluto sword to you. At the beginning, I made a bet with Priest Xuan Ye on Tiangang Mountain. I won, I don't care what the origin of the Pluto sword is? I only know that it is a relic left to me by my uncle."
The Pope smiled and said, "Dumb, don't be nervous. I didn't say I want your Pluto sword. I just want to see it. Who wouldn't want to see the most evil treasure in the world?"
Duan was stunned for a moment, and said with some doubts: "You really won't take away the Pluto sword?"
Xuan Ye scolded: "What is the identity of the Pope, do I need to lie to you?" Hearing Xuan Ye's cold tone, the Pope couldn't help but glanced at him dissatisfied. Xuan Ye just lowered his head and didn't continue speaking.
After a while, Dumb unbuttoned his coat, revealing the Pluto sword inside, untied the sword pouch together, walked up to the Pope, gritted his teeth, and handed over the sword pouch.
The Pope took the sword pouch, and a faint white light emanated from his body, completely enveloping the sword pouch, gently stroking the familiar sacred inscriptions on the sword pouch, and slowly pulled out the Pluto sword from its sheath. Under his sacred energy package, everyone did not feel the evil breath, Xuan Yuan's eyes fell on the Pluto sword, looking at the faint gray gas in the white light, he couldn't help admiring: "Good sword. It is indeed the most evil in the world. It has such power and influence before it is unsheathed, it seems that it should be a high-grade artifact. No wonder Pluto was able to become the world's number one killer with it."
The Pope nodded and said, "Not only is it top-grade, but it is also the top-grade among the top-grade. This is an artifact that shouldn't exist in the mainland!"
Duan looked at the Pope and Xuan Yuan incomprehensibly. In other people's mouths, the Pluto sword is a representative of evil. How did it get into their mouths and become some kind of high-grade artifact.
The pope said to Dumb: "We are not wrong, this is indeed a divine weapon. According to the records of the Holy See, when the third Pope got this sword, he was sure that it was a weapon dropped by the gods or demons in the world. , maybe, just like its name, it is the sword of Hades.” While speaking, he took out the two sheepskins from the sword pouch, without looking at the sheepskin that recorded the sword skills, but looked at the To that weird sheepskin with nothing. The pope murmured a few incantations, a golden light shot out from his fingertips, and the golden light completely wrapped the sheepskin. The pope chanted loudly: "O great god of heaven! Please allow me to borrow your endless divine power , get your guidance." The sheepskin flew out, suspended in the air, the pope's eyes were shining brightly, his hands formed a handprint on his chest, and a bright white light shot out from the handprint, heading straight for the hall of the prayer hall. Angel statue chest. The statue of the angel lit up, completely absorbing the white light emitted by the pope. It seemed to come alive. The huge body carved out of unknown material trembled slightly, and the light of the divine emblem on the center of the angel's eyebrows lit up. , a brilliant colorful light suddenly shot at the sheepskin, and the sheepskin shook slightly. On the blank sheepskin, lines of golden text gradually appeared. , no one, including the Pope, could identify it.
I don’t know why, seeing those weird words, Duan actually had a feeling of déjà vu, his mind fell into a blank, and the blurry images that had appeared before flashed quickly. He desperately wanted to see clearly, but he couldn’t. distinguish. The flashing image was very blurry, as if many people were flashing.
The pope sighed softly, withdrew the white light emitted, the angel statue returned to silence, and the sheepskin slowly fell into the pope's hands. He glanced at Dumb and said: "According to the records left by the third pope in the classics, this sheepskin The words displayed on the screen should be the words of the gods, if the secret of these words can be deciphered, the origin of the Pluto sword may be clear."
The words on the sheepskin disappeared, and Ah-Dai's mind returned to normal. He kept thinking, but found nothing. A strong sense of disgust for the Pluto sword suddenly developed in his chest, and Dui fell into a sluggishness completely. The Pope thought Duan was surprised by the miracle just now, and smiled and said, "My child, you will be the guardian of the Pluto sword from now on. This sword is too evil, so it is better to use it sparingly." After finishing speaking, he put the sheepskin and Pluto sword together Put it back into the sword pouch and hand it to Dumb.
Subconsciously took over the Pluto sword, the icy evil spirit awakened Ah-Dai from his sluggishness. Looking at the black gem with a strange aura on the hilt, Ah-Dai had an urge to throw it out. Taking a deep breath, barely suppressing the irritability in his heart, he put the Pluto sword back on his body again. He murmured, "Do you believe me that much?"
The Pope said: "The opposite of evil is kindness. Only kind people can restrain the most evil thing in the world. When you woke up from your serious injury yesterday, the first thing you called was your friend's name, only because you put your friend's life The fact that you look more seriously than yourself, I know that you are definitely a kind child."
Duan nodded and said: "My lord Pope, thank you for your trust. Under the sword of Pluto, only evil people will be killed. This is my guarantee to you. If you have nothing else, I think we should leave too." Every time he stayed here for a moment longer, his urge to see Xuan Yue deepened. Perhaps only by leaving the Holy See could he calm down his heart.
The Pope looked at Dumb's preoccupied look, nodded slightly and said: "Well, if you need help from the Holy See in the future, you can come here. We will try our best to help you. The thousand-year catastrophe may require you to resolve it. Time There are not many left. The road ahead is bumpy, so be careful. Judge, send them off."
Xuan Yuan responded, and took Duan and others out of the Temple of Prayer.
Watching Duan and the others leave, Xuan Ye walked up to the Pope and said in a low voice: "Father, don't you really take this opportunity to take back the Pluto sword? It was passed down by the ancestors of the Holy See!"
The Pope frowned and said, "Ye'er, I have always valued you very much, and your performance has not let me down. How can you be so short-sighted? Although the Pluto Sword is important, it is insignificant compared to the thousand-year catastrophe Yes. Dumb’s expression is a bit wrong today, did you say something to him?”
Xuan Ye trembled in his heart, and said: "Father, I always feel that Dumb is not like a savior. How wise His Majesty Shenyu was at the beginning! But he is a silly boy. Maybe, Yueyue explained it that way just to help him excuse Yes. It is almost all luck that he has what he is today."
The Pope sighed and said, "Son, why are you so far away from being a father? I tried my best to win over Dumb, but you pushed him away. Luck? Do you think luck is something that everyone can have? That is the result of the guidance of the gods. It is true that his achievements today are related to luck, but his own character and hard work have also changed a lot. From now on, I ask you, no matter what the situation is in the future, you must not do anything for him. Enemy. There is no need to send people to monitor him for the time being. I think that if he is really the savior, he will definitely show something before the holy calendar millennium. Your recent progress in cultivation has been slow, and you should work harder. Otherwise, you may not be as good as your own daughter in the future." After speaking, a golden light flashed, and the Pope disappeared into the Temple of Prayer, leaving only a somewhat dull Xuan Ye.
Walking out of the hall, Xuan Yuan slowed down, "Dumb, let me ask you, did the Sword Master of Tiangang teach you that move of thunder and lightning?"
Duan felt that there was nothing to hide, nodded and said: "Yes. It was taught to me by the master."
Xuan Yuan said: "If the same move is used by the Sword Master of Tiangang, how much more powerful will it be compared to yours?"
Duan shook his head, and said: "I don't know about this either. I haven't seen Master Zu and other old people. However, Master taught me the life-changing transformation. I practiced it between the second and third transformations. It is said that the deeper the skill, the greater the power of the thunder that can be attracted, and the old man has already practiced the sixth transformation, so I think the power should be much greater than mine."
Xuanyuan sighed secretly in his heart. He understood that his current skill was incomparable to that of the Sword Master of Tiangang. The power is unimaginable, I am afraid that even my elder brother may not be able to take it down, and I will definitely be hated under the thunder. "If you see the Sword Saint of Tiangang again, tell him that Xuan Yuan, the presiding judge of the Holy See, will ask him for advice if he has a chance."
Although Duan didn't quite understand what Xuan Yuan meant, he still nodded, and his eyes couldn't help turning red when he thought of the Tiangang Sword Master who had given almost everything for him.
Xuanyuan said: "After you go down the mountain, keep heading southeast, and you will be able to reach the territory of the Tianyuan clan. Dumb, you still can't control the thunder and lightning strike. In the future, it's better to use it less before your skills are replenished. Once a meridian breaks, I'm afraid the Pope won't be able to save you, understand?"
When Ah-Dai thought of the energy generated by the collision of the yin-yang double thunder that day, he couldn't help but feel a palpitation, and nodded deeply: "Don't worry, I will pay attention."
Xuan Yuan looked at Brother Rock, took out a thin book from his arms, and handed it over, "Due to my mistakes, I almost killed Dumb, this is my apology for you. I don't need to point out Dumb's skills anymore. , the kung fu of the Tiangang Sword Sect is very authentic, as long as you practice hard, you will gradually improve. Although the kung fu of the two of you is not bad among young people, the things you have learned are too complicated, which will affect your future achievements. This book records my method of cultivating Shen Yu Dou Qi, which should be more suitable for you. Cultivate hard and try to transform your messy true energy. Don't worry, this method of cultivation is my master's unique skill and has nothing to do with the Holy See .”
Yan Yan received the thin book, and his heart burst into excitement. The brothers had always disliked this lonely-looking old man, and they didn't expect that he would teach him his unique skills. They themselves cultivated a kind of true qi of the Puyan tribe, which was not very advanced. Since they were not disciples of the Tiangang Sword Sect, Xi Wen only taught them some tricks of fighting qi cultivation and the application of common tricks. However, without a strong foundation of battle qi, no matter how good the tricks are, they are useless. They have always been eager to learn a kind of superior zhenqi, but they did not expect that it would be realized here.
Yan Li was a little puzzled and said: "I said the presiding judge, what do you mean by this, do you want to accept us as disciples?"
Xuan Yuan snorted, and said: "As stupid as you are, if I accept you, I will be so angry that I will die of anger. I have already made it clear why I taught it to you just now. Whether you learn it or not is your own business." , but the cultivation method cannot flow into the hands of outsiders. Well, I will send it here, and in the future, it will be up to you. When we meet next time, if you still have this virtue, maybe I will kill you. " After finishing speaking, Xuan Yuan drifted away under the wrap of white douqi.
Looking at the back of Xuan Yuan leaving, Rock murmured: "This old man is really weird, but he doesn't seem to be that annoying."
Yan Li leaned over to his elder brother and asked, "Brother, do we want to learn this true energy?"
Yan Yan smiled and said: "Does that matter? Of course. You have never seen the strength of the presiding judge. With such an opportunity, how can we give up? Didn't he just say that you are stupid? You just practice it." Show him."
Yan Li thought of Xuan Yuan's contemptuous gaze just now, and couldn't help but slammed up, saying: "Hmph, next time I see him again, I will definitely turn his disdain into surprise."
Duan's mind is still focused on the image in his mind before, and he thought to himself: Why did I feel disgusted with the Pluto sword after seeing the gold letters on the sheepskin? There is no reason for this. Although I don't like the evil of the Pluto Sword, but relying on the power of the Pluto Sword, I have escaped my life several times. Speaking of it, I should be grateful to it. Moreover, except when Uncle Owen gave him the sword back then, he had never had such a feeling of loathing the Pluto sword. What is the actual cause? Does the sheepskin with gold letters have anything to do with him
With the passage of time, the energy of the Elf King's blood in Xing'er's body has become weaker and weaker. When the five people entered the territory of the Yalian clan of the Suoyu Federation, Xing'er was too weak to travel on his own. Carried by Dumb with the highest skill, Zhuo Yun told everyone that Xing'er's blood of the Elf King has almost dried up. If he is not nourished by the ancient tree of elves and the lake of elves, he may lose the ability of the blood of the elf king. In order to fulfill the elf queen's entrustment, the five bought horses from the Yalian clan and headed towards the Tianyuan clan at full speed.
Another three days later, the Tianyuan Clan's elf forest was already in sight. Xing'er had already entered a coma at noon yesterday, and the situation was very critical.
As he was on his way, Zhuo Yun said worriedly: "Dumb, I'm afraid Your Royal Highness will not be able to hold on any longer. If she can't be sent to the city of elves before she wakes up, the blood of the elf king will disappear." Duan was stunned, puzzled Authentic: "Before you wake up?"
Zhuo Yun said solemnly: "Yes, if the princess wakes up from the coma, she will completely become an ordinary elf. She will lose the ability to inherit the throne of the elf king."
Dumb was startled, if Xing'er really became an ordinary elf, how could he explain himself like the elf queen! Gritting his teeth, he resolutely said: "How about this, you walk slowly in the back, and I will take her there first." Dui hugged Xing'er in front of him, and said softly: "Sister Xing'er, you have to hold on, we will take her right away." We're home." After speaking, he gently lifted Xing'er's delicate body, hugged it in front of him, stepped on the stirrup with both feet, flew up, and fell down from the galloping horse, urging him with all his strength. With the genuine energy in his body, his body turned into a phantom, and at a speed faster than a horse, he galloped towards the elf forest of the Tianyuan clan like lightning. The surrounding scenery quickly poured past both sides of the body, and Ah Dui used his true energy to protect Xing'er's body, while running, he kept talking to Xing'er, "Sister Xing'er, we are here, we are almost there, you Don't wake up!"
"Sister Xing'er, you are the daughter of Aunt Queen, you have to be strong, and you must keep your blood of the Elf King."
"Sister Xing'er, I am your stupid brother! As long as you can persist until home, brother will..."
Finally, the Elf Forest was close in front of him. Duan found that Xing'er's delicate body was struggling slightly, and her closed eyes were already showing signs of opening. He was very anxious, and urged the energy of the silver golden body to the limit. At the same time, he kept injecting true energy into Xing'er's body. Although he didn't know how to retain the blood of the Elf King, he deeply remembered Zhuo Yun's words, saying that nothing could make Xing'er After waking up, he locked Xing'er's breath with his true energy, causing her to fall into a severe coma again.
The elf forest was still so quiet and mysterious, but Duan had no intention of admiring the beautiful scenery. Relying on his vague memory, he quickly rushed to the depths of the elf forest.
Suddenly, a gust of wind hits not far in front, and if Ah-Dai doesn't stop his figure, he will definitely be hit by the gust of wind. In desperation, he is worth freeing up a hand, pressing a palm to the ground, and rushing forward The power changed to rise, flying up every now and then, dodging the attack. More than a dozen elves appeared in front of him. Except for two elf magicians who were chanting spells, everyone else drew their bows and set arrows, as if they were facing an enemy.
Duan was very anxious, and used his fighting spirit to spread his voice, "Don't do anything, take me to the city of elves, Princess Xing'er is going to die."
All the elves were taken aback for a moment. They saw Dui holding an elf in his arms just now, and they thought it was another poacher, so they attacked him. Hearing his explanation, the leading elf stopped the upcoming attack of the tribe, and asked suspiciously: "You said you were holding Princess Xing'er? What's your name?" Most of the elves had never seen Duan and the others. He is one of them.
Dumb’s forehead was covered with sweat, and he said in a stern voice: “I am Dumb, and I was entrusted by the Elf Queen to bring Princess Xing’er back. Her bloodline of the Elf King is about to disappear. You must get out of the way quickly, and you must go to the city of elves as soon as possible. Okay." If the elves pester him again, the anxious dumb is ready to do it.
Fortunately, after returning from Sunset City to the Elf Forest, the Elf Queen notified all her tribe about the rescue of the Elf Princess, and ordered them to report back as soon as they found Dumb and others sending the princess back. The elf in the head listened to Dumb’s explanation Startled in my heart, my doubts were all gone, and I hurriedly said: "I'm sorry, we didn't know it was Her Royal Highness, let's go, we will lead the way in front." As he said, he ordered his subordinates to lead the way for Dumb. Without their guidance, in this maze-like elf forest, Dui would never be able to find the location of the elf city.
Finally, after passing through the enchantment set up by the elves, Ah-Dai once again saw the beautiful city of elves. The pure elf lake shimmered under the sunlight penetrating in from the big trees, making it look so charming. Duan felt Xing'er's delicate body trembling constantly in his arms, his heart skipped a beat, he completely wrapped Xing'er's delicate body with his fighting spirit, and threw it vigorously into the lake of elves. Under the wrapping of the white light, Xing'er turned into an arc, and accurately landed in the lake water beside the ancient elf tree, with a plop, the water splashed everywhere. Seeing Xing'er fall into the lake, Duan immediately relaxed a little. The continuous running wildly and the worries in his heart made him physically and mentally exhausted, and he gasped for breath. He is not sure now whether Xing'er's Elven King bloodline has disappeared, after all, when Xing'er was about to wake up just now, he used his fighting spirit to make Xing'er fall asleep again.
Seeing Dumb throwing Xing'er into the lake, the elf who led the way became furious and shouted, "What are you doing?"
Duan panted, and explained: "Her blood of the elf king is about to disappear, so she must absorb the aura from the lake of elves."
The elf flew up and flew towards the place where Xing'er fell into the water, while saying: "We elves can't swim, let alone the princess is still in a coma, what if you drown her."
Dumb was startled, and just about to say something, he saw five figures flying out of the ancient elf tree, one of them was the elf queen, she flew directly to the lake, the green light flashed, and the star was soaked in water The tender body was picked up by her. Duan flew up, tapped a few times on the water, floated and leaped to the side of the elf queen, grabbed the vines hanging from the ancient elf tree and said to the elf queen: "Auntie, take a quick look, the elf king of sister Xing'er I'm afraid the bloodline..."
