Chapter 138: Captured
This is already the peripheral area of the Immortal Platform, with fairy air floating in the air and misty clouds, just like a pure domain. Everything looks so clean, tidy, magnificent and majestic.
Above the clouds, there is a giant statue suspended out of thin air. The giant stands with a sword, guarding the fairyland like a guard. And behind the giant, there is a group of floating islands. The floating islands are like spring all year round. The floating islands are connected by black chains, each chain is as thick as a mountain!
Zhou Hao stopped near the floating islands at this moment. He held Yu Nan's body, feeling guilty and unable to let go for a long time. This was the second time.
At this moment, he felt so helpless. Two consecutive blows really made him collapse. What was the purpose of coming to the fairyland?
As for this feeling of helplessness, he clearly had a similar experience when he was in the mortal world. At the age of twenty-nine, he had just ascended the throne and became the new emperor of the Great Zhou Dynasty. The Eight-Nation Allied Forces and the Great Zhou Dynasty The confrontation between them maintained a delicate truce period.
Zhou Hao's first thought was to go back to his hometown and Qingcao Village to take a look.
After fighting for twelve years, he had no chance to return to his hometown even when he became Guanshenghou. But this time he transformed into the current Holy Emperor, and he could finally go to the hometown that he had always dreamed of.
However, after stepping into the familiar yet unfamiliar village, he was disappointed. Everything in the past had long been changed, and there were only ruins and ruins in front of him.
According to local people, it turned out that half a year after the conscription, bandits from Xiongshan Mountain entered the village and burned, killed, and looted Qingcao Village. They killed all the old, weak, sick, disabled, and even children, and seized the women as wives.
At that moment, Zhou Hao became angry and led 3,000 soldiers and horses to attack the Xiongzhu Mountain Stronghold and razed it to the ground overnight. The entire Xiongzhu Mountain was burned down.
After interrogation, he learned that his adoptive father and adoptive mother were killed by bandits, and that his sister Qing Qing rather refused to obey the bandits and committed suicide by biting her tongue.
After hearing this desperate answer, Zhou Hao picked up the long knife at his waist and "personally" killed a bunch of bandits, his eyes turned red.
That night, he stood alone in the ruins of Qingcao Village, crying like a child!
For the next three days and three nights, he stayed there, thinking about his future path in life. He believed that this war had killed too many people, and there was no point in continuing the war. It was time to end it.
So, Zhou Hao took several followers to the front line in person. He wanted to face the eight princes alone. He wanted to seek peace for the world!
In the end, he succeeded as he wished. Both sides ceased their troops and disarmed, the eight princes surrendered, and the dawn of peace illuminated every corner of the Great Zhou Dynasty.
Now, at this moment!
When Zhou Hao came to the world of immortality, he originally wanted to practice immortality and become a strong man, but the water here was too deep, and the immortals were also intrigues with each other, and the fighting never stopped.
Su Qing died to save herself, Yun Fang was killed by Nangong Xun, Cao Shuang was tortured to death by Cheng Yan, Yunmiao Immortal Palace was destroyed by the four major forces, and Yu Nan also dedicated his life to himself...
He really didn't understand why he encountered so many deaths, so many partings, so much pain, and he didn't understand why the person who died was not him? Why do others always die because of him? How come his fate is so troubled!
Zhou Hao fell into deep self-blame, hating his own weakness and incompetence. Even though he had fought so hard, he still couldn't save the people he wanted to protect.
At this moment, he felt as if he was not protecting others, but others were risking their lives to protect his poor, shrunk self.
Strong? Shouldn't the strong have the power to protect everything they want to protect, instead of being protected?
"Zhou Hao!"
Suddenly, just when Zhou Hao was feeling depressed, a familiar voice sounded in his heart.
"Hua Huo?" Zhou Hao said in his heart.
"Don't be sad all the time, don't feel guilty all the time. Sister Yu Nan, like sister Su Qing, as well as your master Yun Fang, and that senior brother named Cao Shuang, all of them hope that you can live well. If you really miss them If they are good, they should cheer up and live out their share."
"The people who have passed away are meant to make you cherish the people who are still alive now. There is no point dwelling on the past. Cherish the present. I believe you are strong and you can cheer up!" Hua Huo's heartfelt voice passed into Zhou Hao's heart, calling him. will.
In an instant, Zhou Hao was flooded with thoughts. From the mortal world to the immortal realm, from Qingcao Village to the Yunmiao Immortal Palace, the years of experience flashed through his mind like a slideshow.
"The people who pass away are meant to make you cherish the people who are still alive now!" Zhou Hao repeated what Hua Huo said.
Finally, he stood up, and Yu Nan's body was carefully put away by him, along with all the sadness.
"Hua Huo, thank you, I won't be confused anymore!" Zhou Hao expressed his gratitude to Hua Huo in his heart.
"Why should we say thank you between you and me?" Hanabi said with a smile.
"Well, Hanabi, I'll come to you right away, wait for me." Zhou Hao said in his heart.
"No...you can't come here rashly."
"Why?"
"Nangong Xun, Cheng Bing and Night Angel set up a trap to ambush you at the Immortal Climbing Platform. Master Caixiang is also among them. They have already captured us. You are no match for them. There is a great immortal night between them. make."
"Damn it, it's the Night Angel, and it's Nangong Xun. These guys are really lingering, but they came just in time. I'm going to kill them all today, for my master, the master of Yunmiao Hall, and all those who died unjustly in their hands. The elders and disciples took revenge."
"Zhou Hao, you have to calm down and don't act out of anger." Hua Huo advised.
"Don't worry, Hanabi, I will think of a perfect plan to save you. Even Luo Tianyi, the former Immortal King, was killed twice by me. What does a mere Immortal-level night angel mean? I will not underestimate the enemy, nor will I Escape!" Zhou Hao said.
"Okay, but be careful, I'll wait for you." Hanabi said.
Zhou Hao smiled and said: "Hua Huo, if this is the case, I will definitely take you to visit the fairyland. Didn't you say that you don't belong here? Do you still have a brother? Then let's go find your brother, mine Brother-in-law."
"Yeah." Hanabi blushed and just nodded.
On the Immortal Platform, four crosses are half-suspended in the air, and black chains are tightly tied to Hua Huo, Xiao Shanshan, Guo Lao, and Green Snake.
"Hanabi, why are you blushing?" Xiao Shanshan glanced at Hanabi and asked doubtfully.
"Ah...ah? I...I..." Hanabi was speechless for a moment, not knowing how to answer.
Xiao Shanshan saw Hua Huo hesitating and subconsciously understood: "You should be thinking about Zhou Hao, but even if you miss him, there is no need to blush."
Hua Huo also glanced at Xiao Shanshan at this time, thinking that it would be better not to tell her the news that Yu Nan was dead, so she said: "Oh, sister, don't worry, these people won't do anything to us, they only have to deal with Zhou Hao Just one person.”
"Wow, does Zhou Hao know when you talk like this?" Xiao Shanshan curled her lips.
"What are you afraid of? He's not here." Hanabi disagreed.
"That's true, but then again, why haven't my senior sister and Zhou Hao come back yet? It's been a long time, Guo Lao, your feeling is not reliable at all." Xiao Shanshan scolded Guo Lao who was standing aside.
"How could my feeling be wrong? The two of them must have been delayed by something." Guo Lao shook his head.
"And the current situation is very unfavorable to us. Even if that girl Yu Nan can come back, her cultivation level will definitely be greatly reduced. Not to mention that boy Zhou Hao, his gourd is just a back-up left by Deng Tulang to deal with Luo Tianyi. It won't cause any harm to other great immortals." Guo Lao sighed.
"It is indeed too difficult. The other party is too strong. My husband is also in their hands. We are too passive. Zhou Hao and Yu Nan don't know about this trap. Facing the Night Angels who are waiting for work, the chance of winning is almost zero." Green Snake analyzed.
"No, we should believe Zhou Hao, he must have a way to deal with it." Hua Huo expressed different opinions.
"Beauty is in the eye of the beholder, God is in the eye of the lover, you are blindly confident. But I also believe in my senior sister, she will save us!" Xiao Shanshan said with a smile, she also chose to believe it.
Hua Huo glanced at Xiao Shanshan again, with a look of guilt on her delicate and lovely face, but she still did not directly tell Xiao Shanshan the truth: Yu Nan had died long ago to save Zhou Hao!
Outside the floating island group, in front of the giant stone statue.
Zhou Hao looked at the scenery here and remembered that when Yun Fang first took him through this place, he mentioned that this floating island group might be a fairy formation. Entering hastily will trigger the formation pattern, erupt with shocking killing power, and kill anyone who breaks into the formation. .
"Let's find something to experiment with first. I want to see how powerful this killing array is!"
Zhou Hao thought for a while, and finally decided to throw the sea-suppressing pearl in the yellow gourd into the floating islands. This thing was an Immortal King-level magic weapon, and its strength was unimaginable.
call out!
The yellow-skinned gourd was sacrificed, and the blue bead flew out from it. Since it was an ownerless thing, Zhou Hao easily controlled it and flew straight to the floating islands behind the giant stone statue.
"Fall!" Zhou Hao shouted softly, and the Zhenhai Pearl suddenly grew as big as an asteroid, fell rapidly, and hit a floating island.
With a bang, the floating islands were shaken by an earthquake, and a large hole appeared on the ground. The next moment, the floating islands group experienced a dramatic change.
The black chain connecting the floating islands lit up with scarlet light like a vein, and looked like the word "devil" from a distance.
The magic words were reflected on the sky, the clouds were dyed red, and the area suddenly turned into darkness. The wind and clouds were turbulent, thunder and lightning were blowing, and the sky seemed to have a hole.
Zhou Hao was stunned. What kind of killing array was this? It could actually cause such a strange phenomenon.
With a click, a scarlet electric light descended from the magic word on the sky. The electric light was as big as a mountain and bombarded the huge beads on the floating island.
Zhou Hao clearly saw that although the bead body withstood the electric light and did not explode immediately, there were dense lines like ice cracks inside it. It was obvious that one more blow could destroy it.
It was too late, but it was too late. Zhou Hao quickly controlled the bead to become smaller and took it back before the second wave of lightning came.
The moment the Zhenhai Pearl was taken back, the night-like world around it returned to normal in the blink of an eye. The thunder and lightning in the sky disappeared, the wind and clouds became still, the magic words on the sky disappeared, and the scarlet light on the black chain disappeared.
"Dear me, this is an Immortal King-level magic weapon. It's such a shame." Zhou Hao was about to cry but had no tears. It was such a waste of natural resources. He regretted that he should have tried the Sea-Suppressing Pearl.
"But this magic circle is really powerful. Even the Immortal King-level magic weapon can't withstand two lightning bombardments. When the Great Immortal comes, he won't be chopped into pieces by one blow?" Zhou Hao now has a plan in his mind. He wants to kill the Great Immortal-level night envoy. Lead them here, trap and kill them.
"One more thing needs to be done." Zhou Hao pondered for a moment, looking at the stone statue in front of him and the floating islands behind him as if he thought of something.
Then Zhou Hao activated the golden immortal level magic power and attracted the cloud energy from the sky to cover up the floating island group and the giant stone statue. Although this cannot escape the Great Immortal's Immortal Eye Detection or Immortal Sense Search, if Zhou Hao had been in Night Angel's line of sight, he would not deliberately use the Immortal Eye and Immortal Sense. In this way, using this method of blurring vision would be inevitable. If you can catch the fish, please put it in the urn.
"Okay, now that everything is ready, we just need to lure him over. It's really difficult to compete with the immortal. Gourd, gourd, your master's life is all in your hands." Zhou Hao looked at the seven inches in his hand. The tall yellow-skinned gourd muttered to himself, then transformed into a clone and entered the gourd himself.
"Walk!"
Zhou Hao's clone rushed forward with the yellow-skinned gourd on his head, his speed increased to the extreme, and turned into a golden light.
After a few breaths, he saw the coiled dragon-shaped clouds. Continuing forward, Zhou Hao's clone finally approached the Immortal Platform, and also saw four figures on the platform, each tied to a cross and unable to move.
"Hehehehe, since you are here, come down here!" A hoarse voice sounded, as if coming from all directions, the Great Immortal-level pressure was released, and the clouds were visible to the naked eye to be falling rapidly.
Dark chains appeared out of thin air and wrapped around Zhou Hao's clone, forcefully pulling it from high in the air to the Immortal Platform.
The next moment, Nangong Xun, Night Angel, Caixiang Palace Master and Cheng Bing, who were hidden in the clouds, all came out. They looked at Zhou Hao who was tied up in chains with smiles on their faces. To be precise, they looked at him. The gourd on the head.
"It's really a gourd that cuts down the void. I didn't expect that one of the four sword techniques of the Immortal Realm is hidden in this small immortal platform. Such a great achievement of thousands of years has actually fallen on my head. Hahahaha, what a blessing from the Supreme Lord!" Even though it's like this A person like the Great Immortal Night Angel who never reveals his natural emotions easily could not control himself after seeing that yellow-skinned gourd.
The Void-Slaying Gourd, with the Void-Slaying Sword Art engraved inside, is one of the four invincible sword techniques in the Immortal Realm. It is said to be able to cut through everything, and can even cut through time and space. It is a handed down magic weapon that even the forbidden beings in the Immortal Realm covet!
"Zhou Hao!"
Hanabi saw Zhou Hao also fell into the hands of the night angel, and shouted with great worry.
"Hmph, you're just a golden immortal, how dare you show off a clone?" The great immortal-level night angel's black robe's sleeves were holding the source of the dark chain that bound Zhou Hao. He lightly tightened it, and Zhou Hao's clone suddenly banged. The sound disappeared.
"Phew, it turns out to be a clone." Hanabi breathed out lightly.
"Strange, why didn't my senior sister come? Is she hiding somewhere?" Xiao Shanshan's big eyes looked around at the sky.
"If you want the gourd, let them go." Zhou Hao's voice came from the gourd.
The Great Immortal Night Angel sneered: "What qualifications do you have to bargain with me?"
"You can't catch me!" The yellow-skinned gourd dodged around, but the night angel's chain could not touch it.
"What if I want to kill them?" Night Angel simply refused to grab the gourd. Four chains flew out of his sleeves and stabbed Hanabi and others.
"You dare!?" Zhou Hao controlled the gourd to come to the front of the four crosses and knocked away the four chains.
"If you don't want me to kill them, just follow me back to the Night Palace." At this time, the Immortal-level night angel suddenly appeared in front of the cross, holding out four heart-piercing swords between his sleeves, pointing directly at Hua Huo, Xiao Shanshan, and Guo Lao and Green Snake's four throats.
"As long as I move even slightly, their heads will be missing, and you won't have anywhere to look for regrets!" Night Angel warned.
At this moment, the yellow gourd was only ten meters away from the cross.
Zhou Hao was anxious in his heart, but in an instant he came up with an idea. It didn't matter even if he went with them, it was a smooth journey anyway.
"Okay, as long as you let my friend go, I will go with you." Zhou Hao agreed.
Crash, the dark chain wrapped around the yellow gourd, wrapping it into a black ball. Then the Immortal Night Angel put away the Heart-piercing Sword and looked at the black ball with satisfaction.
"We're done, let's go back to the Night Palace."
The other two night angels also came over, and they laughed hoarsely in their black robes and said, "Congratulations, Lord Night Angel, for your great achievements."
"Don't worry, both of you have also reported your merits to your superiors in this mission. If you deserve a reward, you can come back to the palace with me." The Great Night Envoy said.
The messengers of the Night Palace, referred to as night messengers, are divided into three categories. The high immortal level is collectively called the night angel, the great immortal level is collectively called the great night angel, and the immortal king level is collectively called the throne.
"Thank you, Lord Night Angel, for your kindness." The two night angels said quickly, their hearts filled with joy. You must know that it has been many years since they were sent to this star field, and they have not been back for a long time. Last time, a buddy was very happy because he got the legendary counter-object. It meant that he could go back to the Night Palace headquarters and get a promotion.
"Sir Great Night Angel, I wonder what you are going to do with these people on the cross?" Nangong Xun came to the Great Night Angel and asked.
"They're just a bunch of rubbish, don't worry about them." The Night Angel waved his hand, obviously showing no interest in Hanabi and the others.
"In that case, I'll take over." Nangong Xun cupped his hands and said.
"Master Nangong, this palace is quite interested in those two girls. Why don't you leave it to me." Master Caixiang said with a smile. Apparently he also heard that Yunmiao Immortal Palace was replaced by Nangong Immortal Palace.
"It's rare that Master Caixiang likes it. If I don't give it to you, I'd be a bit petty. Well, a gentleman's beauty, please do as you please!" Master Nan Palace is just a person who has just been promoted to immortal, so he is naturally extremely jealous of this Sixteenth Immortal Palace. How dare you offend the first palace master?
"Hahahaha, thank you so much Master Nan Palace." Master Caixiang laughed and walked towards Hua Huo and Xiao Shanshan to untie them.
"Despicable villain, you went back on your word!" Zhou Hao shouted angrily from the black ball.
"Hehehe, I said it from the beginning, you are not qualified to negotiate terms with me." The Great Night Angel led two night angels and was about to leave the Immortal Platform.
Hua Huo and Xiao Shanshan could only watch Zhou Hao being kidnapped, and even the two of them had to return to Caixiang Palace with the Master of Caixiang Palace.
"Why hasn't Senior Sister come yet? Has something happened to her?" Xiao Shanshan was so restless that she even forgot that she was in danger.
Hua Huo secretly communicated with Zhou Hao and knew what Zhou Hao was thinking, so she didn't show too much concern.
Guo Lao and Qing She on the other side were obtained by Cheng Bing and Nangong Xun. Although they also wanted to get the purple gold and red fruit, Zhou Hao was in the gourd at the moment and could not ask the night angel for it at all. .
"Alas, I was originally able to get the Purple Gold Fruit, but the four major forces and that Luo Tianyi disrupted the situation halfway. Now it's better. Night Angel can get all the good things." Nangong Xun sighed, feeling very happy depressed.
"Senior brother, don't be sad. We have trees anyway, so we can continue to plant new purple-gold fruits." Cheng Bing advised.
"It takes ten thousand years to bear a fruit. I'm afraid I will go west before the fruit matures." Nangong Xun shook his head and said.
"No, since the Nangong Immortal Palace has been destroyed, we have no place to stay. This purple-gold and red fruit tree takes ten thousand years to bear a single fruit. We can't wait any longer. We will just follow the night angel to that night. If you try your luck in the palace, you might have a chance to become a part of the Night Palace!" Nangong Xun said firmly through gritted teeth as he watched the three black-robed messengers dragging the virtual-decapitating gourd wrapped in black chains towards the northern sky.
"Yes, the Night Palace is huge and has many masters. If we can become a member of the Night Palace and become a night angel, then we two brothers will also have the opportunity to make waves in the wider world. Why bother here? It's a corner of peace, and you have been practicing hard for many years but you haven't found the great road." When Cheng Bing heard what Nangong Xun said, he couldn't help being surprised, and then nodded repeatedly, as if he saw a brand new future.
Thinking of this, Nangong Xun and Cheng Bing hurriedly walked towards Night Angel and said in unison: "Sir Night Angel, we also want to join Ye Palace, and we hope you will recommend us."
