As Li De expected, it didn't take long for Yun Haiwei to find Zhiluo Mountain.
This time it could almost be considered that the Yunhaiwei was dispatched in full force, even if Zhiluo Mountain was a barren mountain, it would not be able to withstand such a large-scale raid. Yunhaiwei formed an array methodically, searching from the foot of the mountain to the top of the mountain, like a net that covered the sky slowly being tightened. Li De didn't panic too much, he knew that Yun Haiwei would definitely come, because there were people watching Bai Huang and his movements all the time, and their eyeliners were everywhere here.
Irene disappeared, the Lord of the Sea of Clouds must have sent two groups of people, one to search the Nightless City, and the other to Zhiluo Mountain directly. At first Lide just wanted to meet up with Bai Huang and others and escape here, but after listening to Bai Huang's talk about the experience just now, he suddenly felt that he could wait a little longer.
Bai Ye is currently the only tenth-level existence in the sea of clouds camp, and his perception range will be much wider than others. Therefore, in the face of the sudden arrest of Yunhaiwei, he must first find a way to find out the reason to judge whether these people are coming for him. Soon he will find out that the target of these people is Irene. Given his relationship with Lily of the Valley, Lily of the Valley will definitely know this information.
So Lide doesn't need to think about how to let Lily of the Valley know that he brought Irene back, he just needs to think about where he can see Lily of the Valley. Waiting in place seems to be the optimal solution, but this place is not too far from the foot of the mountain. Yunhaiwei has already entered Lide's perception range, and will appear in front of them in a short time. So Lide could only keep climbing to the top of the mountain. He believed that Lily of the Valley had to face the same dilemma.
Once each other is acting, it is not so easy to meet again.
At this time, there is only one solution, that is, everyone go to the top of the mountain and meet at the highest place!
Lide thought for a while, and felt that this was the best way, so he took Baihuang, Alaiya, Heji and Irene to the top of the mountain together. Although there were many people in Yunhaiwei, they had to conduct a carpet search. The climbing speed was not fast, and the two sides quickly opened up the distance.
Except for Irene, Bai Huang's cultivation base was the lowest, and her physical strength was the first to bottom out. Alaiya supported her and continued on her way. On the way, Lide saw that Baihuang's ankle was completely red and swollen, but she didn't ask for a rest, and insisted on it entirely by willpower. Walking on all kinds of dangerous cliffs and cliffs for a whole day, even people with higher realms can hardly bear it, but Baihuang just persevered through this section of the road.
When approaching the top of the mountain, Lide really felt the familiar breath again.
Lily of the valley sat on the rock on the top of the mountain, she was the only one there. She was looking up at the sky above her head, not knowing what she was thinking. When Lide and his party came out of the forest, she cast a calm gaze to this side. At first, her eyes fell on Lide, and then Moved to Irene who was on Lid's back.
Lied looked around and spoke first:
"Where's Bai Ye?"
Lily of the valley didn't answer, just looked at Irene quietly.
Lied continued:
"I brought back the person you wanted, and now we should be able to sit down and talk."
Suzuran still didn't answer.
She was like a precision machine, standing there without saying a word, only her eyes were still looking at Irene without blinking.
Lid narrowed his eyes, as if realizing something. Before he could find a way to confirm it, the little ghost residing in his body had already conveyed the message to Lid's mind:
"This person seems to have some kind of strong restriction. She doesn't seem to want to say it, but it seems... she can't say it."
Lide took a deep breath and said to Baihuang, Heji and Alaya:
"You wait here for me first."
Lide carried Irene on his back and walked all the way to Lily of the Valley, then put down the petite Irene on his back, touched Irene's head lightly, and asked:
"Can you still sing?"
Erin nodded.
Lid laughed and said:
"Pick the one you can sing the best, and sing it. Don't care what happens, just finish singing."
Erin nodded nervously, and took out the shamisen that she carried with her. The moment the ethereal singing sounded, the little ghost in Li De's body first groaned in pain. Li De asked her how she was doing through his thoughts, and the little ghost said silently, "Leave me alone, I'm afraid her affairs will involve too much." , and then stopped answering.
Lide turned his attention back to Lily of the Valley. She stood there quietly and didn't respond at first, but as the singing gradually became louder, the expression on her face began to twist slowly.
She then began to scratch her cheek with her fingers, appearing to be in excruciating pain.
Several shocking bloodstains appeared on her face, Ling Lan panted heavily, and made a move that no one expected.
She knelt down slowly.
Lide watched the scene in front of him silently, and his heart was also turbulent.
Lily of the Valley opened her mouth, different from the voice Lide heard when she was in Lingwu last time, this time her voice was hoarse and full of exhaustion:
"Save... save... him."
This is the first sentence that Suzuran said.
"Don't let the singing stop... Only then can I temporarily act on my own will. Listen to me..."
Lily of the Valley's five nails were deeply embedded in her cheeks, while the other hand tremblingly grasped Lide's cuff. She raised her head, her face was covered in blood, like a visitor from hell. Obviously it looked like it was in extreme pain, but there was indeed a light of prayer in his eyes:
"Please... save him... In exchange, I'll tell you... about Alayah."
The light in Lid's eyes became sharp instantly.
This "he" refers to Bai Ye, obviously, Ling Lan does not believe that Li De will really pay a huge benefit in exchange for Bai Ye's life, so he added a condition that Li De absolutely cannot refuse. At this time, Li De still has a way out, because Lily of Lily doesn't necessarily know about Alaya's past, and the maid Magpie around Fangyuan should also know about it.
But looking at Lily's scarred face, Lide finally nodded.
He said:
"As long as the information you provide is useful, I can guarantee that Bai Ye will be alive."
Lily of the Valley showed a weary smile, as if a boulder had been removed from her heart.
She turned around slowly, grabbed the clothes on her chest with her hands, and pulled them down suddenly, revealing her white back.
Her back was beautiful, with soft curves, but Lid had no intention of admiring it.
Because she has a particularly intricate pattern on her back.
There are wings, halos, wings, clouds and the sea, stars and the sun. Just like the patterns drawn on the stained glass of the church, it is holy and gorgeous. But when he saw this picture, Lid's heart sank in an instant, and the messages that the little slime said to himself when he just learned to speak appeared in his memory, and he blurted out:
"[Choose God Man]?!"
Little Slime said that when he was just born, he once heard a deep male voice order coldly: The new [God Selection Ceremony] is about to begin, and the [Age of God Weapons] can be put aside for a while, this time let them go. At that time, the little slime opened his eyes and saw some girls with complicated patterns on their backs. The little slime was still curious why their appearance was similar to that of humans, without halos and wings.
This time it was Ling Lan's turn to be shocked, her voice was even distorted:
"you know… ?"
Lid put his hands in his hair, and thought of many things in an instant.
Little Slime's memory is stuck in the [Age of Gods] period, thousands of years away from now. So when Little Slime mentioned these things to Lid, Lid didn't actually investigate the matter of the god selection ceremony, because it is very different from before. Humans have established a large formation to protect the country, and the country has changed several times. , Things that happened thousands of years ago have become a blank in the historical records. But now the existence of lily of the valley proves a terrible thing—the old gods have maintained this ritual for thousands of years, what exactly do they want to do, and how far have they penetrated into human beings
Secondly, Suzuran said that she knew about Alaya's past, which means...
Alayah, is it a pawn laid out by the old gods
