Hearing Feng Qianwu's words, a faint smile appeared on the face of Divine Lord Qionghua. Then he turned to look at Xiao Haoyan in front of the main hall and said softly: "King Yunxiao, I have other things to deal with, so I won't stay any longer. Well, if the Yunxiao clan has any news about Ye Feiyun, remember to tell me at any time."
As soon as he finished speaking, he flashed and disappeared directly into the hall.
Seeing the leaving figure of Lord Qionghua, Feng Qianwu breathed a sigh of relief.
"Are you okay?" Xiao Lingyu looked at her and asked in a deep voice.
"It really scared me to death just now. Lord Qionghua stared at me like that, and I almost exposed my secret." Feng Qianwu patted her chest and said with lingering fear.
"There is nothing in this world that Shenjun Qionghua cannot see through. If you encounter him in the future, try to stay away from him." Xiao Lingyu reminded in a low voice.
"I've really had enough of this kind of life!! I didn't do anything wrong, why should I avoid him??" Feng Qianwu curled her lips, her tone full of dissatisfaction.
"Okay, just complain to me about this. Is it possible that you want the entire heaven to know that you are a fake Feng Ge?" Xiao Lingyu glared at Feng Qianwu.
"..." After hearing this, Feng Qianwu simply shut her mouth and stopped talking.
She didn't want to cause trouble for herself before she successfully ascended the throne of Phoenix King.
Seeing that Feng Qianwu fell silent, Xiao Lingyu ignored her and turned to look at Xiao Haoyan who was sitting on the main seat, "Father, speaking of which, why did you agree to Divine Lord Qionghua so quickly just now? About this matter Maybe they made a mistake..."
Xiao Haoyan shook his head, sighed, and said in a deep voice: "No matter who the Lord Qionghua or His Majesty the Moon God are, our Yunxiao clan cannot afford to offend them. As a father, it took a lot of effort to gain the appreciation of His Majesty the Emperor of Heaven, but We can’t be ruined by Ye Feiyun. Besides, His Majesty the Moon Goddess will soon succeed him as the Prince of Heaven. If we don’t follow him at this time, it will not be of any benefit to our Yunxiao Clan.”
"Ye Feiyun is indeed worthy of death for stealing the token from the Moon Temple, but..." Xiao Lingyu pondered for a moment, "I still can't figure out what is the purpose of his taking the risk to do this?"
"My father doesn't know the reason now. We can only wait until Ye Feiyun is caught. Okay, without further ado, Ling Yu, my father will leave this matter to you. You can take some of your clan members and go down to the realm immediately to investigate. The whereabouts of Ye Feiyun!!" Xiao Haoyan said solemnly.
"Yes, I obey my orders!!"
Xiao Lingyu nodded.
…
Tianyan Continent, North Sea Icefield.
It's late at night.
In the Wutong Inn, with the help of Nangong Yueze, Jiuge was able to resist the cold with the power of the soul in his body.
"Ozawa, let's go to the island in the middle of the lake and take a look. Maybe the key to the exit is there." Jiuge said impatiently.
"Okay, but you have to promise me that you must stay by my side obediently and never run around." Nangong Yueze warned.
"Don't worry, I will definitely follow you closely." Jiuge immediately promised.
"You." Nangong Yueze gently scratched the tip of her nose, and then walked out of the room with Jiuge.
Taking advantage of the darkness, the two came to the wooden door on the east side of the backyard. "According to what the previous shopkeeper said, this is probably the only way to the island in the middle of the lake, right?" Jiuge asked.
Nangong Yueze gave a soft "hmm" and stood outside the door and carefully observed the wooden door.
The wooden door is locked.
Glancing over the door, Nangong Yueze's eyes finally stopped on a round stone next to the wooden door.
The stone was crystal clear, with some strange runes carved on its surface. Those runes looked mysterious and complex, and seemed to contain some kind of power.
The next second.
Nangong Yueze stretched out his hand to hold the stone, and then squeezed it gently. There was only a crisp sound of "click", and the stone shattered instantly.
Soon, a strong light emitted from around the wooden door.
The strong light dissipated, and a passage appeared in front of the two people.
Nangong Yueze and Jiuge looked at each other and immediately stepped into this passage.
The passage was very long, and after walking for a full quarter of an hour, the two of them saw the entrance to a huge cave.
Coming out of the cave, Jiuge was quickly shocked by the scene in front of him.
What came into view was a vast expanse of lake. In the center of the lake, there was a black island. The island was surrounded by towering cliffs. Above the head, a blood-red moonlight poured down, reflecting a strange color. .
"I didn't expect there to be a cliff here. This is completely different from the inn we just saw." Jiuge said in surprise.
Nangong Yueze nodded, "The cliffs you see now are actually the boundaries of this island in the middle of the lake."
"Boundary?" Jiuge was surprised again.
"Well, these barriers are ancient prohibitions. Only those immortals with cultivation levels above the god level can forcibly break the barriers and enter them." Nangong Yueze explained.
"Then what should we do now?" Jiuge frowned.
This island in the middle of the lake was far more dangerous than she imagined. Just seeing the thick layers of barriers made her feel chilled all over.
Nangong Yueze looked around and said thoughtfully: "Let's take a look around the island in the center of the lake first. Maybe we can find a way to the center of the island in the center of the lake."
"Okay, I will listen to you." Jiuge nodded.
The two quickly continued walking along the lakeside path.
After walking about a few hundred meters, the ground beneath their feet suddenly felt a vibration, as if something was about to rush out from the ground.
"What's going on?" Jiuge asked warily.
Nangong Yueze's expression changed slightly, as if he sensed something.
The next second, he took Jiuge's hand, turned around and ran in the other direction.
Almost the moment they left, a gap suddenly opened in the ground beneath their feet.
Nangong Yueze ignored the cracks and just pulled Jiuge and ran all the way.
Seeing his back, Jiuge's heart suddenly stopped, and she felt as if she had returned to four years ago.
When they were chased by a group of snow wolves in the North Mountain of Tianxin College, Nangong Yueze held her hand and ran like this.
Whether it was then or now, the sense of security he brought to her has never changed.
Thinking of this, Jiu Ge's lips couldn't help but form a sweet smile.
The two were moving extremely fast, and after making sure that those cracks were no longer being traced, they stopped.
Just as he was about to speak, Nangong Yueze suddenly noticed that Jiu Ge was looking at his side face intently, his eyes filled with deep emotion.
Seeing this scene, he was startled for a moment, then asked: "Silly girl, what's wrong? Why are you laughing?"
"No, it's nothing." Jiuge retracted his thoughts, a trace of blush appeared on his cheeks, "I just think it's great to have you by my side."
"Haha." Nangong Yueze chuckled twice, "You know me better now. When we first met, you hated me so much."
"How could I..." Jiuge touched the tip of her nose awkwardly, and just about to speak, Nangong Yueze suddenly lowered his head and kissed her red lips.
"Well……"
Jiuge was startled at first, but his hands had already wrapped around his waist involuntarily.
His kisses were always so domineering yet gentle, and she couldn't help but fall deeply into them.
Gradually, Jiu Ge felt as if the air in his head had been sucked out, and everything around him turned into a shadow. The only thing he could see was Nangong Yueze's handsome facial features, and his deep, ink-like eyes...
After a long time, Nangong Yueze reluctantly let go of her, moved his lips to her ear, and whispered: "Ge'er, do you believe it? In fact, we met many, many years ago."
"Huh? Is there any?" Jiuge opened his hazy eyes slightly.
"Of course." Nangong Yueze nodded, staring at her affectionately, "It's just that the situation was critical at that time, and I didn't have time to pay attention to you, let alone talk to you."
"Ozawa, I don't understand what you are talking about." Jiuge's eyebrows wrinkled slightly, "What do you mean many, many years ago? Didn't we just meet at Tianxin College?"
She always felt that there was something in Nangong Yueze's words, but she couldn't figure it out for the moment.
"Stop! Who asked you to come here?" Before Nangong Yueze could speak, a voice suddenly came from behind the two of them.
Jiuge looked back and realized that the person standing behind them was none other than the innkeeper.
"Ge'er, don't pay attention to him, let's go!!" Nangong Yueze said in a deep voice.
Jiuge nodded and prepared to go around the man and leave, but the other man refused to give up. He directly raised his hand, blocked the two of them, and said loudly: "You have already violated the taboo of trespassing on the island in the middle of the lake. If you don't leave, you will Don’t blame me for being rude!!”
Nangong Yueze glanced at the other party indifferently and said in a cold tone: "Get out of the way!!"
"You two, don't go any further, it's really dangerous ahead!!" Seeing that the two ignored him, the man shouted again, "None of the monks who came in for the trial before could leave the island alive in the middle of the lake. !!”
After hearing this, Jiuge realized that the man's eyes were full of fear.
What is he afraid of?
Could it be that there is something on the island in the middle of the lake?
Thinking of this, Jiuge couldn't help but look to his side, but the surroundings were pitch black and he couldn't see anything clearly except the lake.
"Oze...should we continue to move forward?" Jiuge asked in a low voice.
"Of course." Nangong Yueze glanced sideways at her and continued: "I guess there should be some monsters or monsters in the center of the island in the middle of the lake. Once ordinary monks get close to them, they will be attacked, so the shopkeeper's They don’t dare to let us get close to here.”
Hearing this, Jiuge's brows suddenly frowned, "Our current cultivation levels are sealed. If we really encounter those monsters or monsters, wouldn't it be troublesome?"
"Silly girl..." Nangong Yueze smiled indifferently, "Don't forget, we are here for the trial. If we follow the shopkeeper back to the guest room now, we will fail the first round of the trial. .”
"I'm not afraid of this, I'm just worried about you. Your injury is just right, but you can't take any more risks." Jiuge bit his lip lightly and said distressedly.
"Don't worry." Nangong Yueze still had a slight smile on his lips, "I have my own sense of discretion in this matter, just follow me."
Jiuge nodded, followed Nangong Yueze's footsteps, and continued running deeper into the island in the middle of the lake...
There were many woods around the island in the middle of the lake. After walking for another incense stick, the two finally saw a path leading to the center of the island in the middle of the lake.
