Jun Wuxie's mind was keenly aware of the emotional changes of his senior brother and second senior sister.
"Junior brother, can you tell me why she did this?"
They couldn't think of a reason for her to do it, couldn't explain it.
"As Second Senior Sister said just now, Princess An Ning and I have indeed reached some kind of agreement. If we want the sect to develop well in the future, it is not something that can be achieved by directly killing Prince Ning. It's more than that. Prince Ning is targeting Qingyun, and so is the Emperor, so other methods need to be used. As for what it is, Senior Brother and Second Senior Sister, don’t ask now, you will understand it in the future. "
After hearing this, the two of them thought about it for a moment and said nothing more.
They believe that there is an objective necessity for the junior brother to do this.
Thinking of this, Yun Shu couldn't help but smile and said, "Junior brother, senior sister, Princess An Ning seems to care about you very much. She doesn't treat you very well."
"Second Senior Sister, you are thinking too much."
Jun Wuxie smiled helplessly, but at this time senior brother Nan Jin sighed and said: "This may not be a good thing..."
He knew that no matter what the younger brother's plan was, he would definitely not forget the hatred of the previous brothers and sisters of Zhenwu Peak.
"Okay, let's not talk about this anymore, I have something for you."
Jun Wuxie took out a simple box. After opening it, red and crystal blood bloomed, and the extremely rich life essence filled the air.
Nan Jin and Yun Shu looked at the pills in the box in shock.
They are red and crystal clear, shining like blood-colored gems.
The overflowing life essence, just breathing like this, makes people feel that every inch of flesh and blood in the body becomes active, and every pore in the body relaxes.
"This is the True Martial Blood Pill, left behind by the Patriarch."
Jun Wuxie said.
"This...there are so many Zhenwu Blood Pills!"
They were inexplicably shocked. They thought there was only one Zhenwu Blood Pill, but they didn't expect that there were ten whole pills.
Jun Wuxie took out five pieces and said: "Master and senior brothers and sisters each have one piece. Now that you have broken through to the realm of the Holy King, you can barely refine and absorb the essence of life inside, but you need to be careful. You can only Absorb it strand by strand, otherwise your bodies won’t be able to bear it.”
"As for Third Senior Sister and Fourth Senior Brother, wait until they break through to the Holy King Realm before giving it to them. Don't forget to tell them to absorb it carefully. Master, he is about to break through to the Great Saint Realm. He can survive the tribulation when he breaks through. Use it in the middle, so that you can quickly stabilize your realm and better resist the natural disaster."
"Ah, okay, okay."
Yun Shu couldn't come to his senses and caught the five Zhenwu Blood Pills in a daze.
This is a special elixir left by the ancestor. Although they don't know how effective it is, from the feeling that the overflowing essence brings to them, it can be inferred that the effect must be amazing.
Before this, they never thought that they could also obtain Zhenwu Blood Pill.
I thought that there was only one Zhenwu Blood Pill, and my junior brother had already refined it.
"By the way, there are still these things, which will be used as Zhenwu Peak's training resources in the future."
Jun Wuxie packed a large number of first-grade, second-grade, and third-grade elixirs and holy medicines into the Najie. Fortunately, the number of Najies on his body was astonishing, and there were dozens of Najies in total.
"what are these?"
Yun Shu put away the Zhenwu Blood Pill and looked at the dozens of Na Rings suspended in front of him, his heart beating faster.
The same is true for Nanjin.
Because my junior brother said these are cultivation resources.
What resources require dozens of Na rings to install?
They took the Najie, and their spiritual thoughts penetrated into the Najie. They were stunned, their lips trembled, and they were so frightened that they could not speak.
I was really scared!
I have never seen so many resources before, I can’t even imagine!
Zhenwu Peak's resources have always been very tight. They have only used secondary pills for the past ten or twenty years.
But now, resources filled with dozens of Na rings are right in front of them.
It was colorful inside, with mountains of various elixirs and holy medicines piled up, and there were even suspected third-grade holy medicines!
You know, there are only a few resources like the third-grade holy medicine in the sect’s treasure house.
They are so rare and expensive that they can only be obtained by chance.
It is precisely because of the extreme shortage of resources of this level that Qingyun has not been able to become a strong man in the realm of the Great Sage for many years.
"This... little junior brother, senior sister, aren't you dreaming?" Yun Shu rubbed his fat cheeks, "How come you have such high-grade resources? I'm afraid the four sects' treasury combined don't have so many second-grade resources. Resources, and there are actually third-grade ones!”
"Of course I'm not dreaming. If you don't believe me, senior sister, you can pinch me."
Jun Wuxie stretched out his arm in front of her.
Yun Shu was stunned for a moment, then said, "Second Senior Sister is reluctant to pinch you."
As soon as he finished speaking, he reached out and pinched the arm of senior brother Nan Jin next to him.
Nan Jin grimaced in pain, took a breath, and said speechlessly: "You don't pinch your junior brother when he asks you to do so. You can pinch your senior brother so hard. Junior sister, you are too partial. Am I still your senior brother?"
"It seems that Senior Sister is indeed not dreaming, these are all true..."
Yun Shu's beautiful eyes looked like two crescent moons when she smiled, and her eyes were sparkling.
She has a gentle temperament, and her smile is sweet and bright, just like her name, which makes people feel very comfortable.
Nan Jin rubbed his arms with a wry smile on his face, but Jun Wuxie shrugged at him, saying that he was also helpless, but I didn't ask the second senior sister to do this.
He was actually speechless because the gentle-tempered Second Senior Sister could actually pinch someone.
He originally asked the second senior sister to pinch him, but ended up letting his senior brother take the blame. Thinking of this, he couldn't help but want to laugh.
"Well, tell Master, now that we have resources, don't be afraid of wasting them, use them as you like, and don't economize."
"Junior brother, are you ready to go to the border town?"
Hearing what he said, Nan Jin and Yun Shu knew that he was leaving the sect.
"The border town is very dangerous now. When you get there, be careful."
On the way back to the front yard, Nan Jin and Yun Shu warned them like this.
"I know."
Jun Wuxie nodded, and An Ning came to them.
Yun Shu looked at her, then adjusted his mentality, stepped forward and took her hand, saying, "Sister, are you going to the border town with your junior brother?"
"Yes, Sister Yunshu."
An Ning didn't know that she had learned his identity, but he felt that the way she looked at him seemed a little different from before, with a somewhat complicated look, and she felt a little confused.
"Then sister will often come to Zhenwu Peak to sit and sit when she has time."
"Thank you, Sister Yunshu."
An Ning nodded and smiled.
"Let's go." Jun Wuxie turned and left, followed closely by An Ning. Not far away, he turned back to look at Nan Jin and Yun Shu who were standing at the door of the front yard watching them, and said: "Senior Brother, Second Senior Sister. That one It’s up to you to tell them what’s going on, and maybe they’ll be more accepting of it that way.”
"I understand, junior brother, feel free to go to the border town."
They knew that the younger brother was referring to the matter of Princess An Ning.
…
After leaving Qingyun and heading to the border town, An Ning, who was confused, couldn't help but ask: "Master Yue, why do I feel that after you and your senior brothers and sisters talked alone, they looked at me a little strangely."
"Because I told them your identity."
"ah?"
An Ning was startled when she heard this. She didn't expect that Yue Wuxie would confess to the people at Zhenwu Peak so quickly. Thinking of the way Yun Shu and Nan Jin looked at her, An Ning suddenly calmed down again and her face showed joy. , said: "Their eyes were a little complicated at that time, but they didn't seem to have any hatred or rejection towards me."
"The senior brother and the second senior sister are both very kind people and sensible people. They know that you have not participated in the incident against Zhenwu Peak. It's just because you are the daughter of Prince Ning, so your mood will be very complicated. This is human nature. . From now on, as long as you are sincere to Zhenwufeng, I believe they will slowly accept you."
"Then... what they did to my father..."
"You are you, and Prince Ning is Prince Ning. Some grievances are not so easy to resolve. You should understand."
"I……"
An Ning hesitated to speak, and finally sighed secretly and said nothing more.
She almost couldn't help but ask him what he would do to her father in the future, but she didn't ask him in the end.
She was afraid of getting answers she didn't want.
In this life, she had never escaped from trouble, but she chose to escape in this case.
She didn't know what else she could do except temporarily escape.
What could she do if she got an answer she didn't want to get?
Do you still want to forcefully change this man's decision?
She knew that she couldn't do it. The only thing she could do was to try to get the forgiveness of everyone in Zhenwu Peak. This was the only way to change this man's decision in the future.
The border town is far away from Qingyun.
On the way, Princess Anning received a talisman letter from Fan Xichong and the two strong women around her.
They were all still alive, and she finally breathed a sigh of relief.
According to what the talisman letter said, they had been looking for her in the vast mountains a few days ago until they received her talisman letter.
Now they are on their way back to Qingyun.
Later, An Ning received another talisman letter, which was the latest news about the border town from the maid beside her.
In today's border town, the war is still in a stalemate.
However, due to the lack of supporting troops, the number of soldiers in the border towns continued to decrease as the war continued.
Today, there are three million frontier troops, and the number of those killed and wounded in battle has reached one million.
On the other hand, although the Wu'an Dynasty suffered more than one million casualties, their vitality was not harmed because they had assembled an army of nearly ten million.
In addition, many strange practitioners appeared in the border city area, and their strength was not weak.
According to speculation, those people should come from Pingzhou and Yuzhou surrounding Qingzhou. Perhaps they got news about the ancient tomb and came here specifically for this purpose.
The talisman also mentions the creatures of the waters.
Practitioners from the waters around the East China Sea appeared in the border town. According to the judgment of Prince Ning's Mansion, those creatures should be the creatures in the Haihe River near the East China Sea. They are very powerful, and there are many young and strong men who have just entered the realm of the Great Sage.
An Ning looked solemn after reading the letter.
She handed the talisman letter to Jun Wuxie.
"This ancient tomb is so fragrant that it even attracts practitioners from other states and Haihe River."
Jun Wuxie was a little surprised. It seemed that this trip was more complicated than imagined.
How do people in the other two states know about the ancient tombs, they are so far apart.
From this point of view, there are people from other states dormant in Qingzhou. Otherwise, if the news spread naturally, it would not be possible to spread to Pingzhou and Yuzhou within a few years.
As for the creatures in the sea and rivers, it seems that although they live in the waters, they have been paying attention to things on the land.
Perhaps it is because this era is undergoing great changes, the Golden Age has begun, and the creatures in the waters are also aware of it, so they pay attention to the land and do not want to miss the opportunity to appear in this world.
…
The border town was located on the northern border of the Daqian Dynasty, and in the overall layout of Qingzhou, Daqian and Wu'an occupied the southern and northern parts of Qingzhou respectively.
The border town is located exactly on the dividing line between north and south.
This city does not sound like a relatively remote town as its name sounds.
Although its city size is not particularly large, it is not small either. It is almost the same size as Qingyun City.
The difference is that the walls of the border city are taller and stronger than those of Qingyun City, with more defensive runes engraved inside.
It stands on the border. In front of it is an open land covered with traces of war and stained with blood. In front of the open land is a huge mountain range with a 100-meter horizontal break.
That mountain range is a branch of the Hengduan Mountains. The mountain range winds like a dragon, and its two ends connect the Hengduan Mountains in the east and the Hengduan Mountains in the north.
It is precisely because of such a mountain range and the gap of only a hundred meters, and the open area in the gap is not too large that it cannot accommodate too many troops. When the Wu'an Dynasty attacked the border town, the number of people that could be mobilized for each attack was limited, making the border town an important pass at the Daqian border.
Jun Wuxie stopped in the mountains behind the city.
He opened the True Eye of Yuanshi and carefully observed the entire city and the battlefield outside the city.
The soldiers and civilians in the city were very harmonious, and everything seemed to be in good order, but there was an atmosphere of tension and depression.
The city is now being attacked by the Wu'an army, and the border troops defending the city have suffered millions of casualties.
Faced with such a situation, how can people living in border towns not be nervous?
"Aren't we going into the city?"
"I won't enter the city for the time being. I'll find a place to practice first. I need to break through the realm."
Jun Wuxie said this after observing for a while.
Nowadays, many young practitioners who have just entered the realm of the Great Sage have come to the border town.
These people seem to be at peace now, but they are destined not to stay at peace forever.
Because the purpose of their coming here is for the ancient tomb.
He was also doing it for the ancient tomb, and at the same time he also wanted to see if he could help the frontier army.
But in such a large-scale war, even with his current strength, it is very dangerous.
He can follow the army into battle to kill the enemy. When the army breaks up the opponent's formation, he can harvest the small-scale Wu'an army one by one. However, if he encounters a general in the realm of the Great Sage in Wu'an Jun, it will be difficult to resist him, let alone the Wu'an army. There are also hidden assassins in the realm of the Great Sage, unless Lanlan or the Blood-maned Lion Dog Beast King is exposed.
Judging from the current situation, the war in the border town lasted for several months and resulted in millions of casualties. The remaining soldiers, even without backup, could still hold on for at least half a year.
And it doesn't take that long for him to break through to the realm of the Holy King.
He took An Ning to open a cave under a mountain peak, sealed it with a barrier, and prepared to practice here.
"I have something here that can help you quickly improve your realm and talent growth intensity."
Jun Wuxie took out a lot of rare resources. Although the grade was not high, they were all things with special origins.
Princess Anning saw how extraordinary they were and couldn't help but be stunned.
What kind of thunder calamity liquid, divine beast essence and blood, Bai Ruiguo, etc.?
She was quite shocked and couldn't help but marvel in her heart.
He is worthy of being a proud man from a big place. He has so many rare treasures on his body that it is almost like a mobile treasure house.
"You should also seize the time to practice. It's time to improve your strength. Try to reach the realm of the Great Sage as soon as possible and step into the realm of eternal legends."
Princess An Ning looked at him blankly, she knew that Yue Wuxie would not give her these things for nothing, he must have a plan for doing so.
But she didn't ask, and she also knew that even if she asked, he still wouldn't say what he didn't want to say, so why waste her time.
"let's start."
Jun Wuxie also secretly placed a barrier on the stone wall inside the cave to prevent the energy fluctuations during cultivation from being too strong and impacting the stone wall, causing the mountain to vibrate and the interior to collapse.
He walked to a corner and sat down cross-legged, closed his eyes and quickly entered the practice.
At the same time, the incarnation of Yuanshi that he secretly summoned before entering the cave was dormant on the top of the mountain, paying attention to the situation in the border town and guarding it.
In the cave, Princess Anning also entered a state of cultivation.
Time passes day by day.
On this day, the morale of the soldiers and people in the border town was high because King Ning came and he personally came to this important border town.
In the city, above the main hall of the city lord, King Ning sat upright, looking majestically at all the civil servants and generals below.
Listening to the latest battle situation reported by the military generals, King Ning looked solemn and said: "Now because of the prince, it is difficult for reinforcements from all parties to come to the border town to support us in a short time. We have to rely on you soldiers to hold on here. I hope you will understand me. The difficulty is not that we don’t send troops to help, but that all the reinforcements are bet on the road by the prince’s army.”
"I will defend the border city to the death. It is the duty and honor of a soldier to protect our home and country!" The commander of the border army said loudly: "As long as one of the three million border soldiers is alive, the Wu'an army will never let the Wu'an army attack the border city! "
"I have never doubted the determination and will of the frontier soldiers. However, the casualties in this battle will be very huge. I am unable to mobilize reinforcements and feel guilty."
"Prince Ning, you don't have to be like this. It is the fate of us soldiers to die in battle. As long as we can kill the enemy and defend the territory, it doesn't matter if we die in battle! I only hope that the families of the soldiers can be properly accommodated."
"Don't worry about this, I will definitely make arrangements for them and give them generous pensions."
King Ning made a promise, and at this moment, someone hurried in, knelt down and said, "Tell King Ning that there are creatures from Haihe River who heard that you are coming to the border city and want to see you. They are waiting outside the city lord's palace."
"Haihe creature?" A look of surprise flashed in King Ning's eyes. What was the purpose of Haihe creature wanting to see him? He immediately said: "Let him come in."
"yes!"
The man hurriedly retreated, and soon he led the three Haihe youths to the main hall.
The young man walking at the front was tall and tall, wearing an earthy brown battle armor with traces of runes covering its surface.
Those traces of runes don't look like they were carved on them, but more like they were formed naturally.
His face was very ordinary, with a Chinese character face, thick eyebrows, and sharp eyes. Even when he saw Prince Ning, he looked a little arrogant. He just nodded slightly and said, "Xie Xi of the Haihe Clan has met Prince Ning."
The two young men behind him were one step behind him and followed him to pay their respects.
The two young men looked a bit strange, with very long eyebrows that reached to their temples. They were also wearing earth-brown armor, and they also looked a little arrogant.
Everyone in the hall was angry at the attitude of the creatures in Haihe.
These three are just young people in Haihe. They have just entered the realm of the great sage. It is unreasonable to see Prince Ning dare to be so scornful.
Prince Ning's expression was very calm. He looked at the three of them and said, "I wonder what the three monks from Haihe want to see me for?"
"Of course I'm here to relieve Prince Ning's worries."
The young man named Xie Qian smiled faintly, carrying it with one hand on his back, and his face was full of confidence.
"Oh, how can I say this? Please explain it more clearly."
There was no emotion on Prince Ning's face, he was very calm.
"I have been waiting to come to the border town for some time to understand the fighting situation in the border town. King Ning's army cannot come to help. The soldiers here can only stand alone and suffer heavy casualties. If this continues, how can we survive Wu'an's nearly ten million troops. Therefore, we Haihe The clan is willing to help, and sent a large number of strong men to assist King Ning, carry out beheading operations against Wu'an's army, disintegrate their military morale, and retreat Wu'an's tens of millions of troops!"
"Then what do you Haihe tribe want to get from this king?"
Although Prince Ning was very moved, it would be great if the strong men from the Haihe tribe were willing to help. The beheading operation would be a sure thing.
Because the Haihe tribe is very strong, the number of strong people is astonishing.
But he knew very well that the Haihe clan couldn't do it in vain, there must be a purpose.
"King Ning has misunderstood. We, the Haihe Clan, don't want to get anything. Besides, this matter is not the intention of the entire Haihe Clan, but the intention of my Xie family. We don't want to get anything from King Ning, but want to form a relationship with him." Incomprehensible in-laws. Prince Ning only needs to betroth Princess An Ning to me, and then our Haihe family, the Xie family, will always stand with Prince Ning!"
Prince Ning's calm face suddenly twitched twice when he heard these words.
"Young Master Xie of the Haihe Tribe, have you ever seen my daughter? Why do you think of marrying my daughter? My daughter is mediocre in appearance, and although I am the father, her life-long events are her own responsibility. Call the shots.”
"Prince Ning, don't refuse in a hurry. So many soldiers have died in the border city. Now there are two million left. In a few months, there may not be many people alive." Xie Qian was very confident, with a faint look on his face. With a smile, "The border town is an important town in the Daqian Pass. Once it is missed, Wu'an's military peak will reach half of the Daqian Dynasty. And most of the territory of this half of the Daqian Dynasty belongs to the territory that you, King Ning, finally control. Ning Wang has great ambitions, does he really want to give up the opportunity to ascend to the throne because of this?"
"Go slowly and don't send me away!"
Prince Ning looked ugly and directly issued an order to expel the guests.
"Hahaha, King Ning, I'm at the inn in the border city in the middle of the city. At any time, as long as King Ning figures it out, he can send someone to inform me. I'm waiting for King Ning."
Xie Qiang laughed and left.
"Arrogant!"
Someone in the main hall yelled angrily in a low voice with a cold face.
The Xie family of the Haihe tribe actually wanted to marry Princess An Ning, so they chose this opportunity.
"Prince Ning, I think that Young Master Xie Xi's proposal can be considered. Why don't you ask the princess what she wants?"
A civil servant suggested this.
"Bastard!" Prince Ning stood up abruptly, staring at the civil servant coldly with angry eyes, "If you dare to say another word, I will chop off your head!"
The civil servant was so frightened that he fell to his knees on the ground, trembling and sweating profusely.
"Coward, get out of here!"
Prince Ning's face was extremely gloomy, and it was the first time in his life that he was so happy and angry.
He can consider any conditions, but this matter is absolutely impossible!
This weak-minded civil servant actually wanted to sacrifice his precious daughter.
If he hadn't considered the current situation in the border town, he would have really wanted to kill him on the spot.
