The breeze comes slowly and the water waves are calm.
Sparkling and beautiful environment.
Xu Yue lay on the sand by the lake, stuffing each elixir into his mouth while recalling the battle.
"This time, except for the old turtle who is far away from the Lingjian Sect, Tianyao who returned the ring, and the crazy woman... all the people who seem to have a deep relationship with the Xiao organization are here."
Faces he had not seen for a hundred years flashed through Xu Yue's mind, sometimes smiling, sometimes with cold expressions.
"Zuo Qingxuan..."
Later, Xu Yue's consciousness stopped at the figure of an elegant and handsome scholar.
There are various signs that this friend who had a deep relationship with him a hundred years ago does not seem to be simple, and it is very likely that he has been plotting something behind his back.
"Have you already taken your side? Humph."
Xu Yue couldn't help but remember that at the last moment, Zuo Qingxuan stopped him for Zong Qing. If Mo Dao hadn't stepped forward in time, the outcome would have been hard to say.
"Qi Yuan's injury, Xiao Hu... are you okay?"
Thoughts flashed, Xu Yue's cold expression turned into worry, and he thought of the two most seriously injured people on his side.
"Lao Lu and Jiang Li seem to be in good condition, not to mention Huang Nu. As for Xuan'er and Yidi Mountain..."
Xu Yue frowned again. For some reason, he always felt something was wrong.
Xu Yue was not surprised that Mu Chuxuan could take action, because he also knew some of the contents of the century-old agreement.
As Mu Chuxuan said herself, she just took advantage of a loophole.
What really made him puzzle and ponder was Yidishan's attitude.
First of all, although Mu Chuxuan has been under house arrest in Emperor Xiangmei for a hundred years, his skills have not been suppressed or restricted by Yidi Mountain at all. This is wrong!
"Could it be that Yidi Mountain is absolutely sure that it can control Xuan'er at any time? Or...what they want to do must ensure that Xuan'er is at her peak at all times!"
Xu Yue's eyes suddenly turned cold.
He knew some of the cauldron techniques. If the woman's cultivation was damaged in advance, it would greatly affect the continuation of the technique.
Xu Yue remembered that the purpose of this emperor sacrifice was to depose Mu Chuxuan, select a new emperor, and transfer all her skills and inheritance to the successor?
"If we really get to that point..."
Xu Yue's eyes changed from cold to fierce.
If it really comes to that point, then he may have no choice but to let the Yidi Mountain bleed into a river.
"There are many people who hate me in Emperor Mountain. A hundred years ago, someone probably forced me to go to the palace, which changed Yidi Mountain's attitude. As a result, we lost the support of powerful forces and finally suffered a disastrous defeat in Nanling."
Xu Yue's eyes flickered, thinking that in the end, he had already opened the passage to the secret realm trial, but was secretly plotted and forced out!
Anyone who can do this must also know the imperial arts, which means that the forces that hated him back then are still here in Yidi Mountain.
"but……"
But then, Xu Yue thought about it again and felt that many of Yidi Mountain's actions during this battle were also quite suspicious.
First of all, no one has ever taken action against him openly, and even secretly helped him at some point.
"The air is forbidden and the elders of other sects are not allowed to take action. Although there are sufficient reasons to support these two points, no matter how you look at it, it is too beneficial to our side." Xu Yue whispered.
What is the biggest gap between him, Jiang Li and Duan Mutian?
It’s not the individual’s fighting power, but the support of the powerful forces behind them!
Duan Mutian and the others are backed by several giants in the Immortal Realm such as Mutian Divine Sect, Emperor Demon Sect, Tai Sect, and Haitian City.
And what about Xu Yue?
Either they were rogue cultivators, or they were small families like the Qi family.
In such a comparison, the difference is too obvious.
But the ban on Yidi Mountain undoubtedly helped Xu Yue solve this problem.
"Is it just me being sentimental, or..."
Xu Yue thought for a while, but he really couldn't figure it out, so he simply threw all these doubts behind his mind and didn't worry about it.
As long as I pass the secret realm trial and get the first place in the Emperor's Sacrifice, everything will be no problem!
"In addition, there is another doubt."
Finally, Xu Yue's expression became solemn.
One of the most concerning points in this battle was that when he was about to kill Zong Qing by using the Karma Barrier, a causal line that was thicker than Zong Qing actually extended from the Shark's relic!
What does this mean?
This shows that Shark's death is not all related to Zong Qing.
"Who could it be?"
Xu Yue turned over, feeling sleepy for some reason.
That was because some of the hypnotic and tranquilizing drugs in the elixir he took were taking effect at this time.
"And the guy who shot at me...and Lan Ruyan's sister...why did that little girl help me..."
Xu Yue's voice became quieter and quieter, until finally, he unknowingly fell asleep lying on the sand by the lake.
But this kind of sleep is not deep. As long as there is a little movement around him, he can wake up immediately.
Time passed, and the sun disappeared from the sky, but the sky became darker and darker, and twilight was about to fall.
Gradually, as the elixir in his body took effect, Xu Yue's spiritual power continued to recover, and his aura became stronger and stronger.
"Um?"
At a certain moment, he suddenly opened his eyes, looked at the lake in front of him that suddenly became unstable, and sneered.
It seems that as the fluctuations of his spiritual power spread, something hidden at the bottom of the lake was disturbed.
"Okay, it's time to stretch your muscles."
Xu Yue jumped up, felt the power in his body, and nodded with satisfaction.
The injury isn't completely healed yet, but it's no big deal.
call out!
Xu Yue's figure flashed and appeared directly above the center of the lake in the blink of an eye.
This place no longer belongs to the realm of Yidi Mountain, so naturally there are no air restrictions.
"Oh, he's still a big guy."
Xu Yue stood on the water, his toes getting wet from the splashing waves from time to time, looking at the deep lake below and muttering slightly to himself.
There, there was a huge black shadow coming rapidly from the bottom of the water. The waves undulated as the giant tail swam, giving people an extremely depressing feeling.
Just like those rumors of water monsters I saw in Blue Star before, they really appeared before my eyes.
But now Xu Yue has never experienced anything, how can he still be afraid of you, a water monster?
It's nothing more than a monster hiding in the water.
boom!
Sure enough, after a breath, a huge head emerged from the water, resembling a fish or a crocodile, with a mouth full of fangs, dark scales shining brightly in the sun, and two legs under the fins. At this time, it rushed forward and flew away. Get up and devour Xu Yue.
"Ding! It is detected that the age difference with the current enemy is less than 1 times, the cultivation level improvement function is invalid, the reward mechanism is turned on, the current cultivation level is: the peak of Yuanxinjing!"
"Oh? You have been practicing for hundreds of years?"
Xu Yue raised his eyebrows, but he was not surprised. He raised his hand and hit the water monster on the head!
