Underground world, mysterious space. The dolls gathered together again holding the mirror, and eighteen shadows appeared on the mirror.
"The Lord Mengjiu is dead." The Lord named Moushuai was the first to speak.
"Dead...dead, when did it happen?" Everyone was in commotion.
"Just now, no king has died in nearly a thousand years. Who did it? Lei Zun or Sword Zun?" Moushuai was also clueless.
"Lord Xingyan, Sunset Wasteland is your territory. After Lord Mengjiu was sealed in Sunset Castle, you had the most contact with it, right?" someone asked.
"That's right, it's a pity that I'm not in the Sunset Wasteland at the moment. We, the Night Dire clan, don't have teleportation formations like humans. Even if we possess a corpse, we can't use that formation. Our mobility has always been inferior to that of the human race. But as long as the commander gives the order, I You can make all the nightmares in Sunset Wasteland go to Sunset Castle, and the murderer may not have left yet." Lord Xingyan suggested.
"No need, the people who can kill the Dream Vulture Lord are not those of your minions who can deal with it. There is no need to increase casualties. Besides, everyone knows that the Nightmare clan has a strong sense of territory. Attacking the Sunset Castle without risking death is just a waste of time. It will make them suspicious. After all, the secret of the Sunset Castle is more important than the Dream Vulture King." The commander said, he did not expect that the Dream Vulture King would be killed by Zhan Yue in the dream. If it were the Nightmare Clan Rushing towards the castle, I'm afraid both he and the Saint will have to explain where they are. The commander, who has always calculated every plan, made the biggest mistake in his life - overestimating the enemy.
"Back then, Lord Dream Vulture escorted the Ghost Fruit to His Majesty the Corpse Emperor and passed through the Sunset Castle. It was there that he encountered the Goddess of Transparency. Worried that the Ghost Fruit would be damaged in the battle, he secretly swallowed the Ghost Fruit and let him know when he wanted to come back. His Majesty the Corpse Emperor took it out, but he didn’t expect it to be sealed in the Sunset Castle. After His Majesty the Corpse Emperor fell into sleep, our strength was unable to retrieve the ghost fruit. I wonder if it was refined by it." Someone commented.
"What do you mean? The character of the Dream Vulture King is unquestionable. I have seen it a few times, and it doesn't dare to touch the ghost fruit at all. I just wait for your majesty to wake up, take the ghost fruit out of its body again, and let it be completed. The mission should have been completed thousands of years ago." Lord Xingyan defended Lord Mengjiu.
"I hope it can refine the fruit. Now that it is dead and gone, didn't the Ghost Fruit benefit the human race? We should have released it in the first place and imprisoned it elsewhere." The man said dissatisfied.
"That's enough! One ghost fruit only creates one more strong human race, and it does not harm the overall situation. It was I who ordered it to be imprisoned in the Sunset Castle! By chance, it was sealed in the Sunset Castle. On the contrary, it is for this reason that the secret of Sunset Castle has been preserved, so I did not let you rescue it. Now that it is dead, if the secret of Sunset Castle is discovered by the human race, I am afraid that my plan will have to be completely changed. After the meeting I will set off immediately and go to Sunset Castle to see for myself." Moushuai's speech shocked the entire audience.
"Mou Shuai, the secret of Sunset Castle is so important, why not just destroy it and let the secret disappear from this world forever?" someone asked doubtfully.
Moushuai smiled scornfully, "You should try to destroy it. How can we destroy the great formation to control the sky and subjugate the demons? Fortunately, the human race's formation level is not one percent as good as their ancestors, otherwise we would never be able to compete with them." anti."
"Mou Shuai has systematically studied human formations. He is also the only person in my nightmare family who understands formations. He has even used transparent stones to activate formations to kill powerful human race spirit gods. Don't question Mou Shuai's judgment. , this will only make you look stupid." Someone taught this ignorant monarch a lesson.
Just as the Nightmare Lords were discussing around Sunset Castle, Saint Li Xi finally made a decision.
"I...I promise you, don't lie to me." Li Xi looked at Zhan Yue with sincere eyes.
"Of course I won't lie to you, but the same cannot be said for others. You are a woman who trusts others easily." Zhan Yue looked at the saint in front of him and said with emotion, but the saint was not deeply involved in the world, so this is normal.
"Also...it's not so easy to trust others. I just think you are strange...but...but I can feel your kindness. Growing up, I have a good sense of the good and evil thoughts of people around me. It’s accurate, there’s no mistake. Otherwise, I wouldn’t have followed you secretly before, and I would have dared to follow you into the castle.” The saint explained.
"So you still have this ability?" Zhan Yue looked at Li Xi in surprise. Can she also sense the good and evil thoughts of others?
"I can do it too, maybe it's the innate ability of the Contractor of Light." The Bright Goddess added.
"What about me? Why can't I?" Zhan Yue said unconvinced. He can obviously use the power of light.
"Because you are not a Contractor of Light! You just borrowed my power, but you cannot borrow my talent." The Goddess of Tongming said speechlessly, "But I am very satisfied with the apprentice you have accepted for me. I will try again when I have the opportunity in the future." Teach her well. Give her the skills first and let her concentrate on practicing."
"Okay." Zhan Yue turned to Li Xi and said, "Sit down and close your eyes. Now I have only learned this method, and I have offended you."
"Uh?" Li Xi didn't understand what he meant, but he did as he was told, sat down cross-legged and closed his eyes. She felt a breath approaching her silently, making her heart beat faster. "He...what is he going to do? Could it be..." Li Xi was a little scared, but she didn't think it was like it.
I saw Zhan Yue pressing his forehead to Li Xi's forehead. This was the method of 'mind reading' that the Goddess Tongming taught him not long ago. However, Zhan Yue now needs to put his head against his head to use it. The two heads are as close as possible.
Before Li Xi could resist, a flood of information rushed into Li Xi's mind, and she almost fainted. Fortunately, her physique was also very good, and she was able to withstand this wave of 'enlightenment'.
"The Great Sun Movement Technique? How, how is it possible?" Li Xi was so shocked that she turned pale. She naturally knew the name of this god-level technique. Wasn't it lost long ago? Legend has it that the Goddess Tongming practiced three god-level skills, one of which was the "Great Sun Movement in the Heaven".
"No... this is too precious, I can't ask for it." Li Xi knew the value of god-level skills, and how could he want such a valuable thing from others.
"What? What else can you give me back? You should thank your master who you have never met before. Since you worship her as your master, this skill is what you deserve, regardless of whether it is a god level or something. This is just a teaching material given by the master to his disciples, you know?" Zhan Yue persuaded.
"Oh..." After hearing this, Li Xi felt much better. This is what the master gave to his apprentice, and it should be what it should be, but she still had a dream-like feeling. This is a god-level technique.
"Don't reveal the secret of this technique to others when you go back. Not to mention those people with bad intentions. If the Nightmare Clan learns that your cold poison has been suppressed by the technique, I'm afraid your life will not be peaceful." Zhan Yue advised. road.
"Yes." Li Xi blushed and agreed, "I will keep this secret. After all, this is a god-level skill. It is of great importance. Even grandpa, I won't tell it."
"Why are you blushing? Come on, it's time to leave here." Zhan Yue stood up first and led Li Xi deeper into the castle.
They climbed to the second floor of the castle, which was a huge hall surrounded by candlesticks. Following the instructions of the Goddess of Light, Zhan Yue lit up the designated candlesticks in turn, easily solving the puzzle. A teleportation formation appeared in the center of the hall. The saint on the side opened her mouth, but she was relieved. There were too many mysteries in this man, but she was still curious, why was Zhan Yue so familiar with the castle? Could it be that he has been here before? But he is only in the Qingling realm. Well, it is even more unreasonable for someone in the Qingling realm to possess a god-level skill.
"What are you doing in a daze? Use the transparent stone to activate the formation. Let's leave here. The Sunset Wasteland is still too dangerous. This formation can send us out." Zhan Yue said.
"Okay." Li Xi took out a few transparent stones, and the formation shone with a faint blue light.
"By the way, this formation is older than you, right? Why can it be activated by the Clear Stone? Didn't you invent the Clear Stone?" Zhan Yue looked at the formation in front of him and wondered.
"Am I very old? And who said I invented it? I just found the forging method of the Tongming Stone and the Tongming Tower in the ruins. They are all relics of the previous civilization. I just let them reappear in the world." Tongming God The woman explained.
"Uh, okay. Is Rising Sun City your hometown?" Zhan Yue asked Bagua. This question was most reliable to ask himself.
"No, I was born in the Valley of the Sun, but I lived in the Rising Sun City area for a few years when I was a child. At that time, it was just a small mountain village." Goddess Tongming explained.
Zhan Yue joked in his mind, "It happened thousands of years ago, so it's normal for them not to know. Besides, the goddess actually stayed there for several years when she was a child."
The dim light flashed, the formation was activated, and the two of them were included in the teleportation formation. However, Zhan Yue's heart palpitated at this moment, just like when he saw the statue of the goddess. But this feeling was fleeting, and the two of them arrived at the top of a mountain in the blink of an eye.
"The feeling just now was not an illusion?! Is there something in my contract in the castle? But why did I feel nothing at all after I stayed there all night, and only felt a slight throb at the moment I was teleported away? What is that thing? , where is it hidden?" Zhan Yue asked doubtfully, and then threw his doubts to the goddess of transparency.
"I don't know. According to what you said, the contract object you sensed may be in a different space, so you can only sense it when the teleportation array is activated and the space is disturbed. But your strength is too low now. Make a note of this. When you are strong enough, go back to the castle and have a look. Soon it will be occupied by the Night Dire again." The Goddess of Tongming suggested. "I'm going to be busy with my own business, please be careful."
Zhan Yue nodded and had no choice but to do so.
The two stood on the top of the mountain, just in time to welcome the rising sun. The beautiful morning sun shone on them, making them as holy as a picture.
"What a beautiful sunrise..." Li Xi sighed with emotion, her beautiful little face full of excitement.
A majestic city appeared in front of them in the direction of sunrise. It was the 'Izumo City' among the hundred cities of the Eastern Kingdom, not too far from the City of the Rising Sun.
"It's dawn, and the city has been found. Our one-day trip to the Sunset Wasteland is over." Zhan Yue looked at the city in front of him and said, they were safe.
"Yes, it's over." For some reason, Li Xi was not too excited, but instead felt a little disappointed.
"Um...are you willing to come to the Kingdom of Chaoyang? I can hire you as a Templar. Your treatment will be much better than in the Eastern Kingdom." Li Xi boldly invited.
"That's not possible. I can see from your travel schedule that it is not a free profession. I would rather have more freedom than good treatment." Zhan Yue refused.
"Freedom..." Li Xi's eyes darkened. That was exactly what she wanted, so how could she trap Zhan Yue around her for her selfish desires. "That's right. I believe that one day, your name will be spread throughout the world of spirits."
After returning, she is still a high-ranking saint, and Zhan Yue is just an ordinary soldier in the Eastern Kingdom. It is probably difficult for the two to meet again.
"By the way, take this." The saint took out the staff from the space ring, but handed the ring to Zhan Yue's hand.
"How...how did this happen?" Although Zhan Yue longed for such a treasure, he also knew that it was too precious.
"You are willing to give up the god-level skills, so what does it mean if I give you a ring? Besides, this ring is already a pair, and I have a spare one at home. I rarely use it on weekdays, but you may go out and wander around. You need it more than I do." There was even a hint of pleading in the saint's tone.
"Okay...then I'd rather be respectful than obey." Zhan Yue happily accepted the ring, but it would take some time to refining it and it couldn't be used for the time being. After accepting Zhan Yue, the saint also breathed a sigh of relief.
The two arrived at Izumo Castle on foot soon after, quickly alerting the search team.
"The saint has been found!"
The news was quickly sent to Rising Sun City, and not long after, a red flying dragon landed in Izumo City. It was Mi Hongchen, the Valkyrie of the Eastern Kingdom and the eldest princess of the empire.
