The black shadow came very fast, and was approaching everyone in an instant. Yan Ci raised his fingers in the air, and the golden wind pierced towards the black shadow as fast as lightning.
In an instant, the void ahead fluctuated, and the black shadow suddenly disappeared and then reappeared in the shadow of the trees. He grabbed the earth elf's arm and dragged him into the shadow. After a few flashes, he completely disappeared without a trace.
Yan Ci was stunned and heard Shui Ling'er yell: "Dark Elf!"
All the elves changed their colors in shock, and they were complaining in their hearts.
Dark elves are originally a branch of the elves. They have always been famous for their erratic stature and agile movements. They were the loyal followers and guardians of the beast Lu Wu in the Kunlun Mountains in the past.
Since the loss of the sacred mountain, the elves have degenerated and divided. The dark elves have turned against the tribe and only travel in the darkness, accompanied by death.
Shui Ling'er had read a few words about the relevant description in the ancient code. She originally thought that the dark elves had disappeared in the long years, but unexpectedly they were hiding in the dark forest, separated from the elves by a wall.
The golden monkey disappeared and the earth elves were kidnapped. Everyone was in chaos. Yan Ci advocated an immediate withdrawal, but the elves disagreed.
Dream elves and dark elves are incompatible. Perhaps the existence of the two is not a secret among high-level elves. Now, they have broken this delicate balance by trespassing into forbidden areas. After poking trouble, they want to abandon their companions and leave. Punishment is inevitable.
Before he could make up his mind, he suddenly heard constant rustling noises in the dense forest, and tree men covered in pimples swarmed out.
Those tree men looked strange, with muddy soles and knotted feet, piles of moss and dead leaves in the gaps between the meridians, and withered skin with intricate tree tumors and protruding muscles. There were hammers and sticks stuck in the forehead. The branches and sparse green leaves dance in the wind, looking majestic.
Before the tree man arrived, messy tree vines had already been thrown over.
Yan Ci had never seen such a creature before. When he was frightened, he rolled away a halo of light with his sword and shouted: "Retreat quickly!"
All the elves used their weapons to drive away the enemy, and were about to flee when they suddenly saw the entire forest come to life.
The ground trembled, the creaking sound got louder and closer, and the towering ancient trees strode forward to gather together. In an instant, a dragnet was set up, and the crisscrossing branches and climbing vines danced wildly and suddenly fell towards everyone.
The rain has stopped, and the night has come, without any starlight.
In the sky like splashing ink, there is a violent emotion steaming, and the dark forest is like a cruel and cruel beast from the ancient times, vowing to crush these ants into flying ash.
Feng Ling'er and Shui Ling'er flew hand in hand, and the wind knives and water arrows that filled the sky formed several intertwined rings, wrapping their bodies and flying up into the air.
The fire elf puffed up his cheeks and blew fiercely. The fire cloud swept across and instantly turned into a raging fire, burning with all its heart. Countless branches and leaves were burned to ashes.
The electric elf was sweating profusely. He released his magical power of lightning and destroyed an ancient tree into charred wood. He shouted: "Huo Wazi, do you want to burn me to death?"
The fire elf smiled and said: "It's amazing how disfigured it is. It's so easy to die."
Yan Ci shuttled through the gaps between branches and leaves quickly and nimbly, and the iris fairy sword flew in the air, slashing in all directions.
Broken leaves were fluttering in the forest, Yan Ci formed a seal with one hand, kneaded the leaves into a long rope, tied up the tree man who came with teeth and claws, and then quickly pointed his toes, soaring into the sky like a flying crane in the smoke.
The sky was silent, and the night swallowed up all the light. It was as if you were in a chaotic world, and it was difficult to hear even your own breathing. The overwhelming feeling of loneliness surrounds me, making people feel as if they are dead.
I saw Feng Ling'er and Shui Ling'er hanging alone in the night, with no expression or movement, as if their soul-stripped bodies were floating faintly.
As soon as a gleam of clarity came to Yan Ci's eyes, he heard someone say with a smile: "This boy is quite determined."
Yan Ci was slightly frightened. In the haziness, he seemed to feel a circle of black shadows shaking. A pair of dark, slightly old fishing nets trapped the three of them. The mouth of the net was tilted downward, waiting for others to enter the net.
Suddenly hearing a burst of cheers, the two spirits of fire and electricity clung to a twig and bounced up to the sky with all their strength. Their arrogant and proud strange laughter was especially harsh in the dark night.
Yan Ci was completely speechless as he watched the two men drill into the network port with perfect accuracy.
The dark forest gradually returned to calm, and the furious tree man was comforted.
A group of elves with long, narrow ears and dark skin seemed like well-trained soldiers, coming out of the night covered in mist.
Their handsome faces were inlaid with sharp and extremely cold eyes, showing contempt that was cold to the bone.
There were no whispers, and there was no sound of breaking wind as they marched. They seemed like tireless killing machines, only interested in bringing hatred and death.
Crossing from this darkness to that darkness, a shadow as light as smoke slowly emerged from the crushed green grass. She murmured a few words in a low voice and followed the group of black shadows from a distance.
※
The night is as cold as water, and a black palace is hidden deep in the dark forest. It was as if we were in an unknown land, without any light, and even daylight had been cut off.
It was dark around Yan Ci. As he stretched, he felt extremely unlucky. Everything he experienced after leaving Tongchen Garden seemed to be unsatisfactory.
Several eyes swam in the darkness, and Yan Ci channeled his magic power into his eyes. When he saw Jiu Ying clearly transformed into a boy, he really didn't know whether he should cry or laugh.
But Jiuying laughed heartily. He sat in the middle of the chair and laughed so hard that his whole body twitched, as if he had never experienced anything so happy.
The lamps and candles were lit, and Yan Ci and the elves were thrown into the center of the hall like a pile of rotten wood, with several people sitting or standing around them.
Looking around, there is a beautiful woman on the left who is manicuring her nails as if no one else is watching. Her expression is cold, as if she is indifferent to everything.
Liyang Huamei stood on one side, her black hair draped casually on Xiang's shoulders. She was wearing a feather blue gauze skirt that made her look even more pure and beautiful. Her shining eyes fell on Yan Ci, with a hint of regret.
Sitting in the hall was a man wearing bright black armor. The man's breath was deep, as if a mountain was weighing down a person's breath.
Yan Ci completely ignored the haggard and livid dark elf next to the man, and asked, "Who are you?"
Lu Wu ignored him and turned to Liyang Hua Mei and said, "Is this the person who escaped?"
Hua Mei looked a little embarrassed and replied: "It's one of them. The person with the Yanyang spirit body has probably passed away after more than a year."
Lu Wu nodded slightly and leaned back in his chair, looking absent-minded.
There was no one else in the hall, Jiu Ying was still beaming with joy, Dark Elf was in a irritable mood, and said displeasedly: "Why do fellow Taoists laugh so wildly?"
Jiu Ying covered his belly and laughed and said: "Catching a few shrimps, soldiers and crabs will surely alleviate the hatred of fellow Taoist Yeqi."
This statement was like adding fuel to the fire, and the dark elf suddenly became angry and reprimanded: "My fellow Taoist is a guest from afar, how can you be so ignorant?"
Jiuying smiled and said: "Fellow Taoist Yeqi worked so hard. He was supposed to use the golden monkey as bait to trap the dream elves, so as to wash away the shame of being expelled in the past. However, he only caught three or five small minions. Could it be that others can't help it?" "
Ye Qi was furious when he heard this, and everyone also secretly scolded Jiu Ying for being so ignorant, but they heard him say calmly: "If you plant flowers intentionally, they won't bloom, but if you don't mean to plant willows, they will create shade. If you know the origin of this son, I'm afraid you won't be like this." Big anger.”
Everyone was surprised and asked questions one after another. Jiuying sat up straight and said, "If you want to find Luo Yinzhu, this person is the rightful owner."
Lu Wu was stunned for a long time and said slowly: "So this is the young man!"
Jiuying nodded and said, "This is the bead-bearing young man who worshiped in Tongchen Garden."
Lu Wu pondered for a while and said, "Do you know this person, fellow Taoist?"
Before Jiu Ying could reply, Yan Ci said, "I guess that powerful man didn't escape that day?"
Jiu Ying said disdainfully: "It's just a monk who is transforming into an infant, just struggling to his death."
Yan Ci sighed and said, "If I hadn't seen your true ability, I'd probably be bragging." Then he said, "You know I have Luo Yinzhu, could you be searching for that person's soul?"
Jiuying said: "Not bad."
Yan Ci smiled and said: "That guy wanted to use the soul-searching technique on me, but I didn't expect that I would be unlucky first."
Jiu Ying stroked his palm and said, "I have avenged you, little friend, how about presenting Luo Yin Pearl as a thank you gift?"
Yan Ci shook his head and said, "I don't own Luo Yinzhu."
Jiuying said: "According to Sounhun's knowledge, this bead will fall on the headmaster of Tongchenyuan?"
Yan Ci smiled and said, "Of course you won't believe it if it's just a lie."
Jiu Ying laughed and said, "It's really hard for people to believe the little slick guy's words."
Yan Ci stood up, patted the dust, and said with a smile: "It's not difficult to get Luo Yin Pearl. Just go to Wushan Goddess Peak and ask for it."
The words shocked everyone, Lu Wu suddenly stood up and said: "Is Luo Yinzhu in the hands of the goddess?"
The elves were crowded together, huddled together, their eyes full of fear and panic. Upon seeing this, Yan Ci had vaguely guessed the origin of this person.
Lu Wu mythical beast! The supreme being in the wilderness!
He took out a breath of turbid air, forced a smile and said: "Maybe he is, maybe he is not. You have to ask Bai Ze to find out."
Lu Wu's eyes released a strange light, and he said slowly: "My little friend, can you tell me the truth?"
In the hall, an unspeakable emotion floated. Lu Wu's undeniable arrogance contained a strange gentleness, but his soothing tone was filled with a hint of cold questioning.
Yan Ci had never heard such a tone of voice that could touch his soul. The fire deep in his heart was ignited, and an unyielding desire surged in his chest.
The detailed chatter echoed in the hall. When it came to the awakening of Han Bingchan Yang's spiritual body and had to ask for help from the Wushan Goddess, the sadness made him unable to stop.
When it came to Bai Ze taking advantage of the situation and trying to exchange Luo Yinzhu for the elixir, his condescending attitude filled his chest with endless hatred.
Looking at the helpless young man in the hall, even a man as unscrupulous as Lu Wu felt a sense of compassion.
A group of elves were even more indignant upon hearing this, and began to curse without scruple.
Qin Yuanniao smiled coldly and said sarcastically: "The world is unkind and treats all things as stupid dogs. Even if you are wearing red clothes and feathers, you can't resist the greed."
Only Jiuying was as calm as still water in the seat, paying no attention to what Yan Ci said.
Ye Qi grinned and said, "I have heard that fellow Taoist and the Wushan Goddess have an old grudge for a long time. Do you still hold them against me today?"
Jiuying glared at the dark elf and continued to remain silent. Those in the know were amused. Ye Qi was ridiculed by Jiu Ying just now, and now he was being ridiculed.
Yan Ci was quite curious that Jiuying, an old immortal, could actually be related to the goddess. There must be some unknown stories in it.
Ye Qi snorted proudly and changed the subject: "What do you think, Brother Lu, of this guy's words?"
Lu Wudao: "Lu believes that what this person said is true. Since Luo Yinzhu is in the hands of the goddess, this matter must be considered in the long run."
Everyone was silent, the Goddess Peak stood majestically in the world, and was in charge of the rise and fall of the human world. It was not something that the cultivators on the throne could offend at will.
Liyang Hua Mei looked horrified and said, "I really didn't know that the woman was the body of the Caoyang spirit. Please punish me, Lord."
Lu Wu sighed: "It's hard to tell the male and female spirits of Cuoyang and Yanyang. Even I can't be sure. Now that girl has almost died, why should I blame you?" Although the words were kind, they revealed the truth. A touch of disappointment and regret.
Yan Ci heard that he fell into the ice cave. There was no doubt that Lu Wu wanted to find the person who possessed the soul of Yang Yang, but Han Bing was still alive but was given up by him. I'm afraid there is no hope of resurrection.
Liyang Hua Mei bowed and said, "Thank you, Lord." Although her face was still calm, her voice was trembling.
Ye Qi asked: "How to deal with these people?"
Lu Wudao: "Brother Ye can make his own decision. There is no need to inform Mr. Lu."
Ye Qi nodded, and immediately summoned several dark elves, and ordered: "Take them to the cell and wait for release. Be careful not to let me come to rescue people in my dreams." After that, everyone dispersed, and several dark elves pushed and shoved them. With Yan Ci and others, they went straight to the back hall.
