North Sea ice field, ice city.
After reading the content on the golden note, everyone's expressions became solemn. This trial was extremely dangerous for them.
"Sealing memory and sealing cultivation again, these trial rules are too overbearing." Jiuge couldn't help but clicked his tongue.
Hearing this, Nangong Yueze couldn't help but chuckle, "Shenjun Yaoji is using his method of training disciples on us."
"Huh?" Jiuge was slightly startled, "Shenjun Yaoji actually accepted a disciple?"
"Of course, she has a total of seven disciples. Among them, the fourth disciple is well known in the mortal world. He is the Immortal Lord who is enshrined in the Temple of Gods - Siming."
"Really or not?" Jiuge opened his eyes wide, "The master of Immortal Siming is actually Lord Yaoji??"
Hearing this, everyone around them also showed shocked expressions. Although they had heard of Siming's name, no one had ever seen him with their own eyes.
"Of course it's true." Nangong Yueze nodded, "Although Si Ming is quite unreliable sometimes, I have to say that he is indeed the most talented disciple of the Lord Yao Ji."
As soon as he finished speaking, Jiuge suddenly walked up to him, looked at him with a puzzled look and asked: "Oze, what did you call Immortal Siming just now? This guy??"
"Uh..." Nangong Yueze paused for a moment, and then realized that he had accidentally let it slip. In order not to arouse everyone's suspicion, he quickly changed the subject with a smile, "It's getting late, please take a look. On the note in your hand, at the bottom of the note, are the names of your companions for this trial."
Hearing this, everyone picked up the notes in their hands and read them again. Sure enough, everyone had a name written under the note.
"Hey, I'm actually in a group with senior Tang Yuan." Helian Yuanjie was the first to say.
"Senior Zongyuan and I are in a group!" Zhao Feiyang answered the question for the second time.
After hearing everyone's words, Jiuge immediately looked at the note in his hand and saw a few words written clearly at the end: Fellow Trialist - Nangong Yueze.
"Ozawa, we are actually in the same group!!" Jiuge shouted excitedly.
"Yeah." Nangong Yueze pursed his lips and smiled without explaining much.
"Little junior sister, you are so lucky to be in the same group as His Majesty." Helian Yuanjie turned to look at Jiuge, with an envious look on his face.
"Yeah, I think it's amazing too." Jiuge nodded with a smile. After saying that, she came to Helian Wenyan again and asked with a smile: "Master, where are you? Who is your fellow trialist? "
Helian Wenyan chuckled, glanced at Zong Zhengheng on the side, and said: "I seem to be lucky, the fellow trialer is none other than brother Zong Zheng."
"Brother Zongzheng?" Hearing Helian Wenyan's address to Zong Zhengheng, Nangong Yueze smiled lightly, "It seems that during my absence, Senior Helian and Senior Zongzheng have settled their differences."
"Haha..." Helian Wenyan laughed heartily a few times, "Brother Zongzheng and I have been close friends for many years. It is a kind of fate to be able to turn conflicts into friendship."
"That's very good. If you two work together, you will definitely be able to pass the trial smoothly." Nangong Yueze said with a smile. When he finished speaking, he directly put his arm around Jiu Ge's shoulders and said softly: "Ge'er, the trial rules have been learned. , we should go."
"Well..." Jiuge responded, turned around and waved to everyone, then followed Nangong Yueze and left.
…
The entrance to the first round of trial area is located in the east of Ice City. As I walked, the surrounding scene began to change. The originally white sky and earth instantly turned into darkness, and a huge dark cloud was slowly moving towards the two of them. Come on, that terrifying pressure made Jiuge feel a little uneasy in his heart.
Soon, they came to a towering city wall. Different from the ice city they had just seen, the walls of this city were as black as ink, like an abyss, giving people an extremely strange and dangerous feeling.
What's even more frightening is that from the moment they entered the city gate, all the spiritual power in the two people's bodies was sealed.
"Oze, what is this place? Why do I feel like I can't see the end at a glance?" Jiuge swallowed his saliva and asked with some anxiety.
"Girl, don't be nervous, just relax." Nangong Yueze patted Jiuge's shoulder and said gently.
"Yes." Jiuge nodded, trying to keep herself calm. Just when she was about to look around, a girl in white suddenly floated over from a distance.
The girl is very beautiful, with crystal clear skin and exquisite facial features.
"Two trialists, welcome to the ice city trial. My name is Bing Mengdie, and I am the guide of this ice city trial." After the girl stood firm, she introduced the two of them in a beautiful tone, "You two want to If you pass the first round of trials, you must pass through the black city in front of you within the designated time."
"How can we cross this city?" Jiuge asked quickly.
"First of all, you need to stay one night at the Wutong Inn in the Black City, and then get the key to the treasure room in the inn. With this key, you can open the door to the exit of the Black City." Bing Mengdie glanced at Jiuge , explained slowly, "However, there are many mechanisms and traps around the Treasure Pavilion. If they are accidentally triggered, you will definitely die!"
"What about after getting the key?" Jiuge asked again.
"After you get the key, you need to cross the inner city river surrounded by three hundred people. Only by defeating these three hundred people can you successfully reach the exit of the city. As for this last step..." Bing Mengdie paused, looking at He deliberately glanced at Nangong Yueze who was standing aside, "No matter how quickly you complete the first two trials, you must stay in the black city for twelve hours."
"..." After listening to Bing Mengdie's words, Jiu Ge felt a chill down his spine.
Not to mention that both of their cultivation levels have been sealed, it is already difficult to break out from three hundred people with bare hands, not to mention that they have to stay in the black city for twelve hours...
Seeing Jiuge with a worried look on her face, Nangong Yueze immediately held her hand tightly and said in a gentle tone: "Ge'er, no matter what danger you encounter in a while, don't be afraid, just follow me closely, you know? ?”
"Yes." Jiuge nodded, and subconsciously grasped Nangong Yueze with his hands.
With him by her side, she didn't seem so scared.
"Okay, the time is almost up, please get ready for the first round of trials." Seeing that Jiuge's mood had calmed down a little, Bing Mengdie stopped talking nonsense and immediately raised his hand to start the teleportation into the black city. Door.
The next second, a faint light shrouded Nangong Yueze and Jiuge, and then the two were teleported directly into the city.
Seeing the two people leaving, Bing Mengdie took a breath, and then used the sound transmission technique to say to Yao Ji who was far away in the Fuyu Fairyland: "Shenjun, His Majesty the Moon Goddess and the girl named Jiu Ge have already entered."
"Okay, I understand." Yao Ji's voice reached Bing Mengdie's ears, "Let's just raise the difficulty of the trial for the two of them to the highest level."
"Lord God, why are we doing this? His Majesty the Moon Goddess is inside..." Bing Mengdie asked in confusion.
"This is what His Majesty the Moon God Temple means." Yao Ji said lightly, "Before going in, he told me personally that he wanted to awaken the sleeping soul in that girl through this ice city trial."
"Yes, I understand." After saying this respectfully, Bing Mengdie put away her voice transmission technique, turned around and disappeared into the night.
…
the other side.
Nangong Yueze and Jiuge have entered the black city.
As soon as she stepped into the city, Jiu Ge felt a bone-chilling cold. This cold made her feel stiff and numb all over, and even breathing became difficult.
Not only that, the coldness not only acted on the body, but also on the depths of the soul, giving her the feeling of being in a thousand-year ice cellar.
Seeing this, Nangong Yueze quickly took off his robe and wrapped it around Jiuge.
"Ge'er, let's go find the Wutong Inn first." Nangong Yueze raised his head and glanced at the dark clouds in the sky, then took Jiu Ge's hand and rushed toward the center of the Black City.
Because their spiritual power was blocked, the two of them could not use their sword control skills. Moreover, the closer they got to the center of the black city, the colder air in the sky became thicker, and even the road they walked on was covered with thick frost.
"Ge'er, just hold on a little longer. It will be easier when we get to Wutong Inn." Nangong Yueze comforted Jiu Ge.
"But do you know where the Wutong Inn is?" Jiuge asked breathlessly. She felt that she could no longer hold on. Not only were her cheeks turned purple from the cold, her teeth were chattering, and even her tongue was about to lose consciousness.
"I guess we're almost here. When I first entered the city, I saw bright lights in this direction, and I could vaguely see a figure moving. I guess that place is the Wutong Inn." Nangong Yueze raised his finger. He pointed forward and said.
"Okay, let's leave quickly." Jiuge gritted his teeth and stretched out his hand to wrap up his robe.
Just after taking two steps, Nangong Yueze's voice suddenly came from behind again, "Ge'er, wait a minute!"
Before Jiuge could react, Nangong Yueze had already arrived in front of her, half-crouched down, and said in a gentle tone: "Come up, I'll carry you."
Hearing this, Jiuge was stunned for a moment, then quickly shook his head and refused: "Oze, I can hold on, you don't have to carry me."
"I know you can do it, but I can't bear to see you working so hard." Nangong Yueze turned around and pinched Jiu Ge's cheek, "Good boy, come down."
Jiuge pursed her lips, and after a moment of hesitation, she finally lay on Nangong Yueze's back.
"Hold me tight." A clear and charming smile appeared on Nangong Yueze's lips, and he immediately took off his feet and walked forward step by step.
The cold wind was biting, Jiu Ge pressed tightly against Nangong Yueze's back, feeling his strong and powerful heartbeat, and his heart calmed down inexplicably.
"Oze, actually, you don't have to be like this." Jiuge hugged Nangong Yueze's neck and said softly.
"Silly girl, since I chose to be with you, I naturally have to take good care of you." Nangong Yueze's magnetic voice lingered in Jiuge's ears.
"You desperately came to the North Sea Icefield to find me, and you almost lost your life because of me. It's too late for me to feel sorry for you." Jiuge murmured in a low voice, "Oze, you have done so much for me, but I have nothing to do with you." I haven't done anything for you..."
Hearing this, Nangong Yueze's footsteps suddenly stopped. He turned his head and glanced at Jiuge, with a doting smile on his face, "As long as you can stay by my side, that's all for me. That’s enough. Besides, aren’t I fine now?”
Listening to Nangong Yueze's pretending to be relaxed words, the tip of Jiu Ge's nose was slightly sour, and a warmth emerged from the bottom of his heart.
Ozawa, it’s great to know you in this life...
