The last ray of sunset disappeared from the earth.
Night is coming.
Mu Qingyao's mood at this moment was like a cold night, dark and lightless.
She vowed to walk the final journey with Yun Que, sharing life and death.
But in the end, she was left alone.
Tears burst out.
Mu Qingyao staggered and threw herself behind Yun Que, hugging him tightly.
"You can't die! You haven't made any money yet, you haven't gone to the academy yet, and you haven't touched me yet! Yun Que, I won't let you die!"
Princess Lingyun has always been a steady girl since she was born.
Even when she encountered a monster and was about to die, she had never been so panicked.
now,
Mu Qingyao cried and shouted. She no longer had the demeanor of a princess, and completely collapsed like an ordinary girl who had lost her beloved.
It's hard to find a confidant, let alone one who is willing to die for oneself.
Along the way, Mu Qingyao has already developed unusual feelings for Yun Que.
Scenes of past events since they met each other appeared one after another in Mu Qingyao's mind.
From the meeting in Qinghu Mountain, the tacit understanding in Zangshi Town to solve the Twins' conspiracy, to the crisis in Baiyu City, the thrilling adventure of rescuing the people of the city together.
From visiting Duckweed Mountain in Tiger Demon Cave to marrying a bone bride in Wuji Town.
From joining the gang in Heifeng Village to becoming a bandit, to causing havoc in Bashan City.
This experience was an unprecedented one for the little princess. It was thrilling, novel, and full of warmth.
If there was no Yun Que, a demon hunter, in the world, she would have no laughter and no self-confidence in her life.
When the grief reached the point of despair, the little princess was already in agony.
At this moment, Mu Qingyao suddenly heard a familiar voice ringing in her ears.
"I didn't expect you to be quite strong. If you strangle me again, I won't be able to breathe."
Mu Qingyao was stunned, and hurriedly let go of Yun Que's hand, exclaiming: "You're not dead!"
Yun Que turned around and said with a smile: "Of course he's not dead. I haven't taken advantage of the princess yet, so how can I die?"
"Very good!"
Mu Qingyao pursed her lips tightly, no longer suppressing her emotions, and threw herself into Yun Que's arms.
The bright moon is in the sky.
The long road was silent except for a pair of figures hugging each other tightly.
"Hey, someone's here. If you hug her again, I'm afraid the princess's reputation will be ruined." Yun Que gently patted Mu Qingyao's shoulder.
Only then did the little princess break away in panic.
"Where's that red lotus?" Mu Qingyao asked worriedly.
Yun Que blocked Honglian with his body, and the last soul spell cast by the leader of Red Lotus was absolutely extraordinary.
"I don't know, it seems to have disappeared." Yun Que frowned.
He was also very strange.
The red lotus clearly floated into his body, and apart from an indescribable weird feeling, there was no threat.
Yun Que is fine now, with no injuries at all.
It was as if the seemingly terrifying soul curse was just a trick to scare people.
But the leader of the Red Lotus Church has been chasing Mu Qingyao for so long, and he will not leave just one trick at the last moment.
Yun Que didn't have time to think too much, because a white horse was already approaching.
The white horse was like snow, covered with long hair, and was as fast as a whirlwind.
In particular, the four hooves of the white horse are light and fluttering when they step on the ground. The horse's hooves are almost separated from the ground, as if they are walking on air.
The white horse came very quickly.
Immediately there was a military commander, in his thirties, with a straight nose and a square mouth, a dignified appearance, and a sense of wisdom in his lazy eyes.
No armor, just ordinary brocade clothes.
This person came closer and bent his bow and arrows.
The moment the bowstring was fully drawn, Yun Que could hear the sound of wind coming from all around.
Before the arrow is released, the wind gathers!
Such a phenomenon represents the majestic energy contained in the arrow. Before the arrow is fired, it has already stirred up the surrounding air.
Whoosh! !
The bowstring trembled slightly, and an arrow shot through the air.
A stream of light passed over the heads of Yun Que and Mu Qingyao, like a shooting star.
The arrow's impact point was the poisonous mist not far away that had not yet dissipated.
The five poisonous insects have been taken away by the leader of the Red Lotus, but the poisonous fog is still there, gathering into a ball, like a dark cloud under the night.
The arrow plunged directly into the poisonous mist.
The next moment, a wave of air exploded from the depths of the poisonous mist!
The air waves did not overflow, but rotated and rose, forming small tornadoes that brought the poisonous mist to high altitudes and dispersed it one after another.
The power of this arrow can be said to be extremely exquisite!
Easily resolve the threat of the poisonous mist that persists without harming anyone, and perfectly resolve the crisis.
What a brilliant archery!
Yun Que is a good judge of things. They are both warriors and can tell each other's abilities at a glance.
Not to mention other abilities, just talking about archery, the man on the white horse can be called an expert archer!
After the poisonous mist was dispersed, the general on the white horse turned his attention to the two of them, and then showed a look of surprise.
"Princess Princess?"
After recognizing Mu Qingyao, the man dismounted from his saddle, bowed and said, "Bai Yan, I have met the princess."
"General Bai, no courtesy."
Mu Qingyao regained her demeanor as a princess, her tone was calm and steady as usual, but there were still tears in the corners of her eyes that had not yet been wiped away.
"Why is the princess here? Could it be that the chaos in Bashan City was caused by the princess?"
Bai Yan asked. While speaking, he glanced at the young man in black next to the princess.
"I had no choice but to come up with this method because I was being chased by the enemy." Mu Qingyao said briefly.
When Bai Yan heard this, he knelt down on one knee, lowered his head and said, "Wei Chen is a step too late, and his crime deserves death."
Mu Qingyao hurriedly stepped forward to help him and said, "General Bai, why are you guilty? Please get up quickly."
After Bai Yan got up, he regretted and said:
"Wei Chen saw the lotus platform just now from a distance. He didn't know whether it was an enemy or a friend, so he didn't take action rashly. If he knew it was the enemy of the princess, Wei Chen would do his best to help."
"Don't blame General Bai, you came just in time." Mu Qingyao said.
Bai Yan gave a bitter smile, nodded to Yun Que, and said:
"Thanks to this little brother, otherwise I, the commander of the Jinwu Guards, would have come to an end. I am Bai Yan. My little brother is honored by his surname."
"Yun Que." After giving his name, Yun Que added: "Hunter."
"What you are hunting must be a demon." Bai Yan said with a smile.
"How can I see it?"
Yun Que was even more curious. This was the first time his identity had been revealed by a stranger.
"You can tell by looking at your hands. The main task of an eighth-level warrior is to defeat the main body, and fighting is secondary. It doesn't matter whether you hold a knife or not. And your hands have a layer of calluses, which is much worse than that of the border soldiers who hold swords all year round. Thick, so your prey can only be monsters, and you are a hunter who kills monsters all year round."
Bai Yan smiled.
"Actually, I am a woodcutter." Yun Que also responded with a kind smile and refuted the other party.
You say I am a demon hunter, so do I have to be a demon hunter? I can get calluses on my hands just like cutting firewood all year round.
"I made a mistake." Bai Yan didn't take it seriously and said with a smile: "The firewood chopped by my little brother is quite evil."
Yun Que snorted, calm on the surface, but secretly frightened in his heart.
This Bai Yan is not simple, he can actually see through evil spirits!
You must know that when Yun Que does not deliberately exude evil spirits, it is difficult for outsiders to see the clues.
Bai Yan arrived so quickly that it took him a while before the troops of the Forbidden Army behind him arrived.
At this moment, Bai Yan's white horse suddenly stood up, its front hooves soared in the air, and let out a long cry.
The white horse was restless because a black horse rushed towards it on the opposite road.
The black horse is different from the white horse in its lightness. It roars like a strong wind. When the horse's hooves fall, it will leave a hole in the ground.
Bai Yan pulled the reins, and the white horse immediately calmed down. Its eyes were clear and bright, full of agility.
Yun Que was very curious about Bai Yan's mount.
I thought it was a monster before, but it turned out that it was not, but an authentic horse with no monster at all.
But the speed of the white horse is almost as fast as Pingshan Jun.
This is definitely a divine horse, and it should have a unique bloodline heritage.
The dark horse that arrived was different.
The scales on its body are pitch black, and it looks thick and ferocious. Its breath is like thunder, its head is huge, and its eyes are red. If this horse is not tied up, anyone who sees it will think that it will bite someone.
"Bai Yan? Why are you here!" Su Hongshan reined in his horse and shouted with a frown.
"The beacon is rising in Bashan City. Your Majesty ordered me to come and check." Bai Yan said.
"Beacon smoke?"
Su Hongshan looked back in surprise. Even though it was already night, the blazing fire on the top of Bashan City could still be seen.
"Who lit the wolf smoke!" Su Hongshan was almost confused.
He was holding back his anger while chasing the bandits, but when he came out, the city was actually lit with beacon smoke.
For the sake of a few bandits, beacon smoke was lit in Bashan City. This wanted to let the emperor know that it was not a question of whether to punish him or not, but a question of whether Su Hongshan would have the face to see others in the future.
"Uncle Su, I lit the beacon smoke." Mu Qingyao said crisply.
"Qingyao! Why are you here, girl!" Su Hongshan was shocked when he saw Princess Lingyun disguised as a man.
Compared with Bai Yan's courtier courtesy, Su Hongshan is much closer to Mu Qingyao. He is an old friend of the Funan King. He has watched Mu Qingyao grow up since he was a child, so he naturally regards himself as an elder in front of Mu Qingyao.
"It's a long story. I was chased all the way by the Red Lotus Sect. In order to reach Tianqi safely, I came up with a plan to pretend to be a bandit and light a beacon smoke."
Mu Qingyao said briefly: "Uncle Su, don't worry about the beacon smoke. I will apologize to your majesty."
After learning about Mu Qingyao's situation, Su Hongshan no longer cared about Feng Yan's charges and complained:
"Girl, you are confused! You should go look for me when you get to Bashan City. With Uncle Su escorting you, why are you afraid of the Red Lotus Sect and the Green Lotus Sect! Nothing happened to you. If there is an accident, how can I explain it to your father! "
Su Hongshan spoke in a strong tone, seemingly blaming, but actually worried.
Mu Qingyao smiled bitterly and nodded, not in a hurry to explain.
She knew that Uncle Su had a hot temper and it was best to listen first when he was angry. The more he refuted, the angrier he became.
Princess Lingyun was considerate and considerate. Bai Yanke, who was standing by the side, showed no mercy to Su Hongshan and pointed out:
"The princess's move is a plan to hide the truth from the outside world. The person who hid it is naturally a top expert. If General Su escorts her all the way, the princess may not survive in the imperial city."
When Su Hongshan heard this, he immediately became angry and said unwillingly:
"I've never even heard of the Red Lotus Sect. How can there be any top masters! Can't even I, a fifth-grade warrior, be defeated! Qingyao, tell me, what kind of cultivation is that master of the Red Lotus Sect?"
Mu Qingyao could only say truthfully: "The leader should be in the fifth-grade golden elixir realm."
Su Hongshan laughed loudly, glared at Bai Yan and said, "Did you hear that! It's just a fifth-grade golden elixir. Even if I can't defeat him, I can still withstand it! I don't believe that a golden elixir monk can steal someone from me!"
Bai Yan slowly shook his head and sighed softly.
Su Hongshan was furious, thinking that Bai Yan looked down on him, and said aggressively:
"What! Does General Bai think that a monk of the same level can kill someone like me?"
Su Hongshan's pride is not arrogance.
Because once a warrior reaches level six, he or she will experience a huge breakthrough in terms of body strength and combat power.
The sixth level of a warrior is the Grandmaster Realm, the fifth level is the Golden Body Realm, and the fourth level is the Pojun Realm.
A sixth-grade grandmaster warrior is full of qi and blood, and has strong qi. He can control the power of his body and use his qi like an arm. He can be said to have perfect control of his physical power. He will not waste a single bit of power during battle, so he can A more sustained fight.
The master cannot be humiliated.
This is a proverb that has been around for many years.
In addition to admiring the power of the Grandmaster Realm, there is another meaning.
Those who humiliate a master-level martial artist will easily be tortured to death by others!
Other cultivation systems require mana to have maximum combat power. Without mana, not to mention the fifth-grade golden elixir monks, even the fourth-grade Nascent Soul will be killed by martial arts.
The extremely long combat capability of Grandmaster level warriors is the biggest headache for practitioners of other systems.
As long as the Grandmaster is not killed quickly, the consumption will be endless.
Before the master's strength is exhausted, other system monks can easily run out of mana first.
Fifth-grade Golden Body Realm warriors are even more terrifying.
Not only does it have long-lasting combat power, but its body has also reached a terrifying level, comparable to that of a demonic beast. Its recovery ability is extremely fast, and ordinary injuries can be healed quickly without treatment.
Even if he is fatally injured, as long as he does not die immediately, a fifth-grade warrior still poses a huge threat.
There is more than one rumor about a fifth-grade warrior dragging his fellow warriors to death in a near-death battle.
It was precisely because of his fifth-grade golden body cultivation that Su Hongshan was so sure that he could protect Mu Qingyao in front of the same level of golden elixir monks.
"General Su should know that my arrow breath technique can target targets five miles away."
Bai Yan said this calmly.
Su Hongshan stared, thinking hard about his luck, speechless.
He was indeed not convinced by Bai Yan. After all, they were both fifth-grade warriors, so who could convince the other.
However, Su Hongshan was convinced by Bai Yan's archery skills, and he was convinced.
What makes Bai Yan different from other warriors is his archery skills.
Five miles away, the same level can be killed!
The biggest weakness of martial arts is that they can only fight in close combat, which is why they are ridiculed by other training systems.
Other monks stood in the distance and threw spells, but the martial artist could only stare and catch them.
There's no way, it's out of reach!
And Bai Yan's arrow skills were extremely terrifying.
When it comes to Bai Yan's arrows, no one among the warriors in the Jin army would be dissatisfied.
Therefore, Bai Yan also has a nickname, he is called the Divine Arrow Bai Yan!
Bai Yan's expression became serious and he continued:
"After I locked on it, the lotus platform immediately ran away, which shows that the other party has noticed my arrow breath technique. Moreover, the aura of the lotus platform is a bit weird. It is definitely not as simple as the fifth grade. I suspect that the other party's cultivation is more than just golden elixir."
