In the thousands of miles of ice fields, Yegui retreated steadily and never launched an offensive again.
After the northern border army arrived in the far north, the Night Ghost's offensive gradually weakened, and they retreated to the foot of the glacier in the Wanli Icefield.
For nearly a month, there was no fighting.
The night ghost disappeared on the white ice field as if it had never appeared before.
Even in the thousands of miles of ice fields, Xiao Jingyu was always paying attention to the court affairs in Kyoto.
Five days ago, after Xiao Jingyao's wedding, he took Li Chuchen south.
The Prince of Chu's Mansion encountered Li Haomiao's revenge.
These two things affected Xiao Jingyu's heart.
After Xiao Jingyao's wedding, the civil servants headed by Li Xiuyuan all turned to Xiao Jingyao.
And the Prince of Chu's Mansion was besieged by Li Haomiao, and Xiang Ji was still in Gutian Tower, which meant that Xiao Jingyu's greatest reliance, the Prince of Chu's Mansion, would also collapse at any moment.
The most important thing is that the palace did not react at all to Li Haomiao's suppression of the Chu Palace. It seemed that they acquiesced in the matter and condoned Li Haomiao's words and deeds.
After Chu King Xiang Ji's accomplices remonstrated in the Chengming Palace, they were found guilty of corruption and bribery by the Metropolitan Procuratorate one by one. They were sent to the prison of the Metropolitan Procuratorate that day.
Xiao Jingyu knew that this was Xiao Yuande's method, and he was determined to eradicate Xiang Ji's influence in the court.
But after Xiang Ji's party members are eliminated one by one, Xiao Jingyu will have fewer supporters. If he wants to compete for the throne, he needs the support of these people under Xiang Ji.
After thinking about this, Xiao Jingyu rushed towards Kyoto without stopping.
Without the support of Chu King Xiang Ji, Xiao Jingyu would never be Xiao Jingyao's opponent.
Seizing the direct descendant is a joke!
But what Xiao Jingyu didn't know was that Xiao Yuande never gave him the hope of winning the heir apparent.
Even the guard around him, Wu You, one of the eighteen riders of Yanyun, was assassinated by Xiao Yuande.
Wuyou died on the grassland.
In a quiet night, the strong man who opened the eighth level of the monument died quietly in the heavily guarded military camp.
Who could kill a strong man of the eighth level of the Monument in such a silent way?
Xiao Jingyu couldn't imagine that no one except a master-level expert could do this.
Coupled with the turmoil in Nanzhou Mansion, Xiao Jingyu reasonably suspected Li Haomiao.
...
...
In Nanzhou Mansion, Li Haomiao was drinking in the Baiwei Tower all day long. The Zi Zi Sword lay across the sky above the Prince of Chu's Mansion, and the terrifying sword intent permeated the Prince's Mansion.
He has killed many people, all of them were Xiang Ji's old men twenty years ago, and they were also participants in the fire in Beiliang Mansion that night.
In front of the Chu Palace, blood was seen every day.
One after another, everyone is worried about their life and death.
Mr. San followed Li Haomiao's rules and pursued Yu Zhi, but what he was afraid of was Li Haomiao's desperate pursuit.
Now that Yu Zhi is dead, Mr. Third is more relieved.
But Li Haomiao is a bigger trouble than Yu Zhi.
"Everyone says that Li Haomiao's words are not trustworthy. Now he is blocking the door of Prince Chu's Mansion. If he keeps killing like this, it will be our turn." Yi Baishou said calmly.
The third gentleman angrily smashed the cup on the table, causing a splash of water. "If I had known, I should have killed that kid in Kyoto. Li Haomiao would never let us go no matter what."
Yi Baishou chuckled, and with his only remaining left hand, he shook the paper fan.
"That's not necessarily true. What happened to Beiliang Mansion twenty years ago? Half of Yanyun's Eighteen Riders were killed. I think these are the people Li Haomiao wants to kill."
As he said that, Yi Baishou's eyes fell on Xiang Yan.
Half of Yanyun's Eighteen Cavalry were in the Prince of Chu's Mansion, and the rest were not in Nanzhou Mansion.
Among these people, they are like playing with hundreds of hands, and they have no idea of the past twenty years ago. Why did he attract Li Haomiao's vendetta?
Yi Baishou continued: "Boss, even if you don't tell me, I can guess some things. Brothers are not afraid of death, but they must die clearly. They cannot die in vain under Li Haomiao's sword."
Immediately, everyone looked at Xiang Yan with questioning eyes.
Xiang Yan leaned on the pillar of the pavilion and looked up at the ancient tower in the sky. He didn't explain, but thought of the fire that night and Jiang Xiyue.
Xiang Ji admires Jiang Xiyue, but King Xiang has a dream, but the goddess has no intention.
Jiang Xiyue is someone else's woman after all.
"Everyone, everything is waiting for the Lord to walk out of Gutian Tower. If Li Haomiao enters the palace, I will be your queen." Xiang Yan said calmly.
He knew the secrets of the past, so he felt extremely at ease.
Killing requires a life, it just depends on whether the other person has the ability to take his life.
At this time, a head fell from the sky, causing a panic among the servants in the mansion.
Xiang Yan knew that this man was the general who accompanied him to Beiliang Mansion. Twenty years later, this man had become a general guarding Jiangnan City.
He was still killed by Li Haomiao today.
Everyone looked at the dead head with a trace of fear in their eyes.
Maybe tomorrow, their heads will fall to the ground like this.
"Xiang Ji, come out of the tower and die."
The same sound of sword chants as yesterday spread to the depths of Gutian Tower.
Xiang Ji sat cross-legged in the tower with his eyes closed tightly, his true energy constantly attacking the last pass, but no matter how hard he thought about it, the last pass did not move at all.
The opportunity of Gutian Tower is not completely useless for breaking through the situation.
If there is a chance of enlightenment, if you can realize it, you can naturally break through and become a great master.
For example, Li Haomiao did it.
Opportunity was placed in front of Xiang Ji, but it was a pity that Xiang Ji struggled to realize it for a long time and still could not take the last step.
In addition, there is a second way - to become the tower guard of Gutian Tower.
Admittedly, this is not a good choice, but countless practitioners want to see the stunning scenery of martial arts.
Great temptation comes with a huge price.
And the price is freedom for the rest of my life.
After becoming a tower guard, you can naturally break through the situation. But from now on, the tower guardian cannot leave Gutian Tower. In this life, he can only guard this ancient tower and enjoy the endless loneliness and the admiration of the world.
The turmoil in Jiangnan City continued to spread to Xiang Ji's ears.
Those dead subordinates, the crisis encountered by the Chu Palace...
But Xiang Ji didn't care about any of this. The only thing he cared about was Jiang Xiyue.
After that night at Baiweilou, Jiang Xiyue disappeared from everyone's sight. No one could find Jiang Xiyue's whereabouts, not even Qiu Ruoruo's Liuying had ever seen Jiang Xiyue again.
"Xiyue, do you know it after all?" Xiang Ji missed Jiang Xiyue and felt unwilling to do so.
"Why don't you love me? But that Yu Shanhe? What's so good about him? How can he compare to me?"
"I am still alive, one person is inferior to ten thousand people, and I have made you the noble Princess Chu. But what about Yu Shanhe? What can he give you? You have been hiding in the darkness with her all your life, without any power or power."
"Xiyue, why did you leave me!"
Xiang Ji couldn't understand why Jiang Xiyue, his lifelong obsession, left him?
With royal power, wealth, and glory, there is no more noble woman in the world than Jiang Xiyue. Isn't this enough?
"It must be that evil species. Xi Yue still misses that evil species. As long as that evil species is killed, there will no longer be the bloodline of Yu Shanhe in the world. By then, Xi Yue will return to me."
"She will definitely come back to me!"
Suddenly, Xiang Ji's true energy began to flow around, bombarding the surrounding walls.
My mind is confused and I am really angry.
Because of Jiang Xiyue, Xiang Ji was upset. He once again had an obsession in his heart, he wanted to find Jiang Xiyue.
Xiang Ji slapped himself with a palm in vain, knocking out the blood in his chest.
"Tower Keeper, I agree."
Xiang Ji's voice echoed in the empty Gutian Tower.
The next moment, countless chains flew out of the darkness, wrapping around Xiang Ji's limbs like branches.
The tower keeper's voice sounded.
"Keep your nerve and don't resist."
Xiang Ji suddenly entered a wonderful realm, and those insights of the great road were instilled into Xiang Ji's consciousness along the chain.
The sky and the earth are vast, and all things are full of vitality, either rising to the sky or falling into the mortal world.
You can go up to the sky to catch stars, go down to catch dragons in the abyss, travel to fairy islands in the east to discuss Taoism, and go to Buddhist temples in the west to discuss scriptures.
Cultivation is like traveling on an adverse journey, and all living beings are like guests. Once you achieve enlightenment, heaven and earth will become your friends.
Scenes flashed before Xiang Ji's eyes, all of which were the insights left by his ancestors thousands of years ago. They have become masters, and their realm is so advanced that Xiang Ji cannot understand it.
If you understand it, you will become a master like Li Haomiao.
But Xiang Ji couldn't understand it, so these great insights forced their way into Xiang Ji's heart, and used these countless insights to break through the last hurdle for Xiang Ji.
This is to use the power of others and the will of Gutian Tower to break through the situation.
The price of false hands on people is the price.
In an instant, Xiang Ji's aura continued to rise, and the true energy in his whole body began to boil like a raging fire cooking oil.
When he entered the tower, he was a strong man in the ninth level of the Open Monument.
Becoming a Grandmaster is a thin line.
This line is also a gap that is difficult for countless strong people to cross.
As Xiang Ji's aura rose, he could clearly feel that the last pass was beginning to break.
This feeling made him happy, but what he didn't realize was that the chains wrapped around him from Lone Sky Tower gradually became transparent, and eventually no one could see the chains.
Buzz!
Buzz!
Buzz!
The chains shook again and again.
Xiang Ji's body roared again and again, like the sound of a mountain collapsing and the earth cracking.
The tower keeper's voice came again.
"Gutian Tower will help you break through the situation, and you will guard this tower for the rest of your life."
As soon as he finished speaking, Xiang Ji's head was empty. It seemed that nothing happened, and something else seemed to happen.
Xiang Ji vaguely felt that he had lost something very important.
"I will sacrifice your soul to the tower."
"People are here in the tower, life and death are the same!"
At this moment, Xiang Ji felt that his aura had become as mysterious and ancient as the Gutian Tower, and there was a destiny connecting him to the ancient tower.
Immediately afterwards, he felt a steady stream of power coming towards him.
"The power of a tenth-grade grandmaster. Is this the realm of a grandmaster?"
Xiang Ji felt that every move he made could shatter mountains. This was a power he had never imagined.
Xiang Ji stepped out of Gutian Tower in one step, and in front of him were the mountains and rivers he had not seen for a long time.
The tower guard sat in front of Gutian Tower, drinking wine. "Now, you are already a tower guard. According to the rules of Gutian Tower, you have three years to settle your affairs in the world, and you will have to guard this tower for the rest of your life."
"Three years?" Xiang Ji stood on the top of the mountain and looked at the Jiangnan city. "Three years is enough."
