Chapter 177 - Wake UpIn the end, Xiang Tian calmed the fluctuations in his chest as he asked.
"Uncle Liang, you came to Dragon City to look for Xiao Yuan for a secret file. Did something happen in Qin Feng City?"
The old man nodded, "These few days, there have been many people secretly taking action against Yun Zuiyue. However, it"s just a small matter, so there"s nothing to be afraid of."
"However, there is a person in Qin Feng City that I am worried about. I want to confirm that Xiao Yuan will send me news tonight and then rush back to Qin Feng City overnight."Xiang Tian nodded, "Then I"ll have to trouble Uncle Liang. I"m truly ashamed to have you running errands for this good-for-nothing son of mine!"
When the old man heard this, he snappily said, "You brat, stop being so polite to this old man. I"m not doing this for you, but for my precious daughter!"
"Who asked her to pity this sworn brother of yours. She insisted on forcing me to be your servant. Otherwise, this old man would have long been happy and free from restraints!"
Hearing this, Xiang Tian laughed bitterly, "Who asked you to treat me as my mother all those years ago?"
"Cough cough cough! This old man is already old enough, yet you still dare to find fault with me? I don"t care if you"re a prince or not. Be careful or else this old man will beat you up!"Hearing this, not only was Xiang Tian not angered by the old man"s offense, his eyes lit up instead as he said in a serious tone, "Old Liang, I haven"t fought with you in many years. Why don"t we find a place to fight? My hands have been itching for a bit recently!"
When he saw Xiang Tian"s fiery gaze, the old man hurriedly suppressed his words and immediately shook his head.
"Enough of that, I was just joking earlier. Do you think I don"t know what level your cultivation has reached now? Isn"t this old man asking for a beating? I"m not that abnormal. "
"Alright, I"m leaving now. What other words or arrangements do you have for your son? Hurry up and tell me. I still need to get something from Xiao Yuan."
Seeing that the old man was unwilling to fight him, Xiang Lingtian was slightly disappointed, but he still nodded his head. He used Yun Li"s voice transmission to speak a few words to the old man.Xiang Lingtian was once again left alone in the tent. He walked back to his commander"s chair and sat down, wanting to continue his contemplation.
However, the moment he closed his eyes, the beautiful face that had been buried deep within his heart was filled with a vivid smile. It was as if everything that had happened in the past had appeared clearly before his eyes.Since his state of mind had already been broken, he was destined to be unable to calm his heart tonight. Xiang Tian"s figure vanished into thin air, and in the next moment, another figure appeared at the top of a tall gate in the Forbidden City.
He stood on red tiles with his back facing the sky, looking at the bright and clear moon hanging in the sky. With a flash of brilliance, a jar of well-sealed mud appeared in his hand!
The latter used her hand to p.r.i.c.k the seal and instantly, the fragrance of wine filled the air. It welcomed the bright moon and the cool breeze, as well as the vast expanse of the starry sky!
The beautiful scenery, the fine wine, and even though Xiang Tian did not have a cup or a cup, he still held the wine jar with one hand and drank from it with his head raised! He allowed the burning wine to enter his throat and stomach!No one knew why this warG.o.d who valued military discipline more than his life was able to make an exception and drink so much during the march.
From the dark clouds gathered in his brow, it could be seen that this was definitely not happiness, but sorrow that was even more painful than losing one"s life. It was a man"s heart that was buried, and it was not a pain that was difficult for others to bear.
As he drank, Xiang Tian drew out a dagger that glimmered with a strange light and fiercely stabbed it towards his chest. He pulled out the dagger and fresh blood gushed out. However, Xiang Tian"s expression did not change as he focused on drinking!
This slash was to punish him, who was the commander-in-chief of the army, regardless of the military laws and decisions he made, to punish him. Although no one knew it, this was the principle of Xiang Tian being a man and being a marshal!
He was destined to have no sleep tonight
It was another morning. The Silvermoon Forest was located in a hot stone cave.A young man was holding a long sword that was flowing with blue lightning. The sword in his hand was as fast as lightning. With each stab of his sword, a strong wind tore through the air.
The latter brandished her sword at an increasingly faster speed. At first, it was like a continuous drizzle, then the rain poured down, and in the end, even the sword in his hand disappeared along with his arm!
In the middle of the air, strong gales rolled across the ground as whistling sounds rang out. The rock fragments that had been smashed into dust had turned into a hurricane and swept through the entire stone chamber!Xiang Yun"s body had already disappeared, completely engulfed by the hurricane. That violent hurricane that was as calm as a mountain continued to grow stronger.
At a certain moment, he actually jumped. A hurricane was rolling like the waves of a sea!As the undulations became more and more obvious, the entire hurricane was like a surging tide, swaying left and right!
Suddenly, with a violent swing, the entire hurricane started to move.It was like a howling tornado. The tornado was irregular as it weaved through various corners of the stone chamber!
The storm was terrifyingly powerful and extremely fast. Wherever it pa.s.sed by, the stone walls of the stone chamber would instantly crack and explode, causing the entire cave to rumble without end.
At the same time, in another stone chamber next to the youth"s sword practice room, a figure shrouded in ice was actually slowly melting!The ice sh.e.l.l melted and revealed a handsome face. However, at this moment, a strange faint purple glow appeared on his exquisite face. At the same time, a strange imprint appeared above his head like a floating talisman!
At this moment, the handsome young man had both his hands folded as his thumb and hand were in front of him. He was trying his best to circulate his Qi Method. The latter"s body was trembling slightly with a difficult expression on his face, as if he was holding on to something.
At the same time, the strange purple mark on his forehead continued to rise. It was as if there was an invisible force pulling the mark away from his head!
However, as the imprint increased, its increasing speed became slower and slower. In the end, it stopped three inches above the youth"s head, unable to rise any further.
Even though the young man"s fair face was covered in sweat and his body was trembling slightly, circulating his cultivation technique to the limit, the purple colored mark still hung high in the sky.
"Phew!"
The young man and the purple symbol stalled for a long time before he was finally unable to continue. In a single breath, he removed the purple symbol and the purple symbol instantly entered the top of his head!The youth"s body trembled as he slowly opened his eyes. The brilliance in them was extremely refreshing, but there was a trace of helplessness in them.
"Even if it isn"t complete, it still possesses such power. Fortunately, this woman"s cultivation has not reached a higher level. Otherwise, the Nine Layer Gla.s.s Secret Technique might not be able to suppress this seal."
As long as his strength was not completely sealed, he was confident that he could leave this forest. When he returned to the clan, it would be troublesome, but it would not be difficult at all!"Luo He, you"re awake?"
In the hallway of the cave, the naked Xiang Yun wore only a pair of shorts on his body. He wore a look of pleasant surprise as he looked at Luo He, who had already opened her eyes!
Luo He turned to look at Xiang Yun, her eyes glazed over, her entire body in a daze!
At this moment, Xiang Yun had already rushed over in quick steps, grabbing Luo He by the shoulders as he said excitedly, "Haha, you"ve finally awoken! I was really worried that something might have happened to you!"
"What are you doing?"
Moments later, Luo He, who had regained consciousness, had actually pushed Xiang Yun away with strength that came from who knew where.
"Huh?" Xiang Yun staggered a little from the push, immediately looking at Luo He in shock.
"You, quickly put on your clothes!" Luo He pushed Xiang Yun away and immediately turned her head away. She no longer looked at Xiang Yun, her voice somewhat shrill and agitated.
Xiang Yun was shocked by Luo He"s reaction, while at the same time, the monk was even more confused. Previously, he had wanted to cultivate the Gale Quick Sword and the Hundred Transformations Divine Movement Technique to fuse together.
Xiang Yun had no choice but to take off his robes. Otherwise, if he was not careful when cultivating, he would be crushed by the tornado of the Swift Wind Sword.
He also did not bring any spare clothes with him on this trip. The only thing that remained was a tattered robe that could not be damaged anymore.
Xiang Yun had not expected Luo He to have such a huge reaction. He hurriedly returned to the stone room and put on his clothes.At the same time, he silently pondered in his heart. The Luo He brothers were grown men. If he didn"t wear clothes, there shouldn"t be anything amiss.
Could it be because the Luo He brothers had strict upbringing, and they were not used to this kind of casual behavior? That must be it.
As for the fact that he had his arm around Luo He"s shoulders and was pushed aside by the latter, Xiang Yun attributed this matter to Luo He"s personal habit. Some people did not like it, and Luo He was probably someone like this.
After changing his clothes, Xiang Yun returned to the cave pa.s.sage. Luo He"s expression had already returned to normal. Seeing that Xiang Yun had yet to speak, the atmosphere was somewhat awkward.
Xiang Yun was the first to speak. "Brother Luo He, you"ve finally woken up. Have you fully recovered?"
"Mhmm, I"m almost done. Thank you for taking care of me these past few days."Luo He glanced inside and saw a round, dust-free area on the ground near the entrance of the stone room. It was the sign that someone had cultivated in meditation.
Brother Luo He, don"t be so polite. Since we"re still cultivating, I might as well get closer to you so I can check on you sooner. Furthermore, there have been footsteps outside the cave recently.
Luo He"s lips curved up in a smile as she nodded her head. In truth, in the past three days, although Luo He had been sealed within the ice sh.e.l.l, her senses were not blocked.
Luo He had been able to clearly sense Xiang Yun"s every move during the past three days. Before he cultivated, he would first enter the cave and observe if he still had any aura left.
Only then would they arrive in the cave three steps away from the stone chamber and start to meditate.When he wanted to go to the stone room to practice martial arts, the latter would place the compa.s.s vertically in the cave and place a stone on top of it.
Once the wind blew within the cave and the gra.s.s swayed, the stone would fall to the ground. Xiang Yun would immediately rush out and investigate Luo He"s condition.This had happened every day for three days. Xiang Yun"s actions had caused Luo He to have more trust in Xiang Yun, and the plan she had originally thought out in her heart had also changed because of this.
"Pack your things and let"s go." Luo He said.
"Huh?"
Xiang Yun stared blankly for a moment. Holding the beast skin map that he had taken from City Lord Lu, he said with a puzzled expression, "Brother Luo He, this is the depths of Sunset Forest. Wanting to go out will be very dangerous. Don"t we need to think it through in detail?"
Luo He didn"t pay attention to Xiang Yun"s question. Instead, she stood up and brushed off the dust on her body as she did so, tightening the black rope tied to the gigantic sword case behind her as she asked, "Which country are you from?""Eh, Wind Cloud Country." Xiang Yun subconsciously replied.
"Oh …" Luo He"s face revealed a hint of surprise. She immediately said, "Okay, let"s go!"
After speaking, Luo He picked up the sword case and walked towards the exit of the cave.Xiang Yun"s heart skipped a beat as he hurriedly reached out his hand to stop Luo He, his face full of shock as he looked at the latter.
"Brother Luo He, are you sure you haven"t made a mistake? This is the Setting Sun Forest. With our strength, wouldn"t we be directly dismembered if we were to leave this place?"
Luo He went blank for a moment, then came to a realization. He looked at Xiang Yun with a strange expression, and finally smiled.
"Brother Wei, you don"t have to worry, my father used to spend a lot of money inside the Chamber of Commerce to buy a detailed map of the Setting Sun Forest. I know several shortcuts that can avoid all dangers, just don"t worry and come with me, I"ll definitely be able to send you safely back to the Wind Cloud Country."
