Chapter Five Hundred and Thirty Nine: The Art of Condensing Time
Yun Xiao bit her lip lightly, and after a long time she looked into the other person's eyes and said seriously: "Are you overextending your life?"
As soon as these words came out, everyone in the room looked at Xiao Yibai in unison. He put one hand on the night curse on his shoulder, and the other hand unconsciously began to make a fist hard. As expected, her words became a prophecy.
, Yun Xiao shook his head and sighed in a low voice: "You are twin brothers. You have exactly the same face, but your actual age is already several times his. If you look at it according to the condition of ordinary people,
You are almost an old man in his 10s. Could it be that you also learned this weird technique from Bai Jiao?"
As she spoke, she turned her gaze to Cen Ge for verification. Sure enough, Cen Ge's face was surprised for a moment, and then he straightened his face and said: "It's Bai Jiao's 'Time Condensation Technique', which can quickly improve itself by overdrawing its vitality."
However, this technique will lead to premature death. It was lost hundreds of years ago, and there are no relevant books recorded in the religion. Where did you learn it from?"
Xiao Yibai secretly glanced at his younger brother, and sure enough, he saw that the expectation that had just been ignited in his eyes was quickly replaced by gloom. Then he scratched his head and had to confess: "How could such an important technique be lost properly? I checked everything
After reading the sect’s classics and related history, I discovered that the last sect leader who learned the method of time condensation was named Xing Suo, who was already over 300 years ago. I wondered if that thing was brought into the coffin by him, so
So... I dug his grave in the Houshan Cemetery, and sure enough, I found it."
Cen Ge took a breath of cold air and stared at this guy with a playful smile. Although the sentient beings in Feiyuan did not believe in reincarnation, and most of them were casual about their own affairs, the immoral thing of digging someone's grave was still extremely taboo.
, this guy is a lunatic! Did he really rely on his own guesses to go to the Baijiao's back hill cemetery and dig the grave of the old leader three hundred years ago?
Xiao Yibai looked at the few people awkwardly, and before Cen Ge could collect his thoughts and scolded him, he immediately sat upright and continued: "At that time, in order to save Mingxi, I had to transfer almost all of my spiritual power through the Soul Splitting Technique.
In the jade ring on his finger, who knew that when I encountered the Night King, I had no time to turn back my power and was completely blocked by the Night Curse. Since then, I can hardly feel the separated soul. Later, I tried several times to break away from the Night Curse.
Restraint, but it was of no use. On the contrary, it was counterproductive and made my body worse and worse. At that time, Mingxi probably thought that I was going to die, so he had to find a way to send me out of the imperial capital. It happened that you were here, so he took advantage of the situation and took you.
Attracted to Tianyu City, he wanted to capture his younger siblings and replace me." Xiao Yibai raised his eyes apologetically and smiled at Yun Xiao, then lowered his head helplessly, "At least at that point in time, Mingxi always had a crush on Qianye.
He has scruples and dares not give back all the chips in his hand, so he came up with this trick of substituting others and wronging you."
"Your health was not in good condition by then, right?" Yun Xiao no longer cared about the conspiracy at that time, and finally understood the complicated painstaking efforts behind it. Xiao Yibai sighed deeply, and did not notice the unhappiness on his brother's face.
He continued, "Later, although part of the night curse was lifted, it was only a drop in the bucket, because I could only feel the situation on the soul side, and could not control it to protect Mingxi. The situation in the Imperial Capital was too dangerous, Gao Zhanping
You just happened to return to Kunlun Mountain when you tried to rebel. In fact, that battle was very dangerous. If you were not careful, Mingxi might really be dead. I had to use the time-condensing technique to overdraw my life in order to make a huge difference in such a short period of time.
Improve spiritual power."
"Is it the battle in Wanluo Palace?" Xiao Qianye suddenly remembered that after the Kunlun Incident, he had seen the tragic situation of corpses scattered in Wanluo Palace from a distance through Feng Jiuqing's light mirror. Xiao Yibai nodded, and something appeared in front of his eyes.
After seeing the tragic situation in Wanluo Palace after that battle, he was deeply moved, "Gao Zhanping secretly met with the second prince Mingye, held a Hongmen Banquet in Wanluo Palace, and under the guise of celebrating Mingxi's birthday, poisoned his toast.
That guy Mingxi, sometimes I really can't understand him at all. He clearly knew that the wine was poisonous, but he still drank it without changing his expression. I looked at it in the jade ring, and I was really afraid that he would die at that time.
Already."
Xiao Qianye paused for a moment. Perhaps influenced by these words, his thoughts were slightly distant, and he continued to listen to Xiao Yibai's voice: "On the night of the coup, there were nearly 3,000 guards in Wanluo Palace. Since the troops stationed in the capital were in the previous battle between the two kings,
They were eaten by poisonous ants and lost their combat effectiveness. That group of people was actually temporarily transferred from other departments of the Forbidden Army. We knew there was a problem early on, but Mingxi wanted to kill all these elite troops with different intentions, so we did not
There was no announcement to the outside world until that night finally arrived. There were three thousand people. Only Gongsun Yan and I were guarding the side. The two building owners were guarding outside the city with dikes for support. I don’t need to do anything wrong. I’m afraid you can go and give it to me now.
It’s time to sweep the grave.”
He casually made scary jokes, but found that everyone in the room had their faces locked, and no one paid any attention to his cold jokes. Xiao Yibai clicked his tongue, coughed slightly to relieve the embarrassment, and said: "That battle probably consumed me.
Fifty years of energy, which could have been slowly restored through conditioning, seems to have been damaged this time. It has been so long, and it really can’t be restored at all. You just said that my physical condition is like that of a ten-year-old with paralysis.
There is actually nothing wrong with being old."
Yun Xiao moved slightly, but saw that Xiao Yibai himself did not show any sadness at all. He still said in a calm tone: "Later, we investigated and speculated that Gao Zhanping might have fled to Yangchuan and joined the Five Snakes. It happened to be
You also want to go to Yangchuan. Mingxi conveniently left this matter to you. At that time, Lin Qingyang was framed and involved in a turmoil. With such a big incident and the controversial military cabinet, we wanted to protect him.
It was very difficult, so I asked Mingxi to come to Yangchuan. On the one hand, I wanted to find a chance to save him. On the other hand, I also wanted to see you. But at that time, I was already very weak. I forced myself to speed up to find you, which was a waste of time.
It took about five or six years of energy, which also led to..."
Xiao Yibai suddenly paused, glanced at Yun Xiao with difficulty as if there was something unspeakable, and sighed vaguely after a while: "After that, my brother and sister were in danger, but I couldn't help anymore, so I could only stay with you like a useless person. I have been
I’m very ashamed. I’ve done so many things for others, but in the end I couldn’t even help my younger brother and sister-in-law. I tried the Time Condensation Technique many times in those six months, but the effect was minimal. In fact, I also knew that my situation was not good.
Great, I came to Shanshi this time for another purpose besides investigating drugs."
When he said this, Cen Ge, who had been sitting silently for a long time next to him, let out a lament. He immediately realized that the behavior of these two people coming to Shanshi together was unusual. Yun Xiao's heart skipped a beat, and he suddenly thought
A terrifying thought occurred to her. Before she could organize her words to ask, Cen Ge said helplessly: "You all know what Gongsun Yan and Ye Zhuofan have been doing recently, right? In fact, this guy - he is also beating up the witches of the Zuye Clan.
I didn’t want to care about his idea, but... the situation in the Imperial Capital has been really bad recently.”
Yun Xiao was stunned and took a step back. Xiao Yibai's eyes were as plain as water, as if he was just telling someone else's story: "After the time-condensing technique became unsustainable, I must find another way to restore my spiritual power.
Otherwise, the Imperial City is becoming more and more dangerous every day, and he may die at any time..."
"What about you?" Xiao Qianye interrupted him. I don't know what complicated emotions these three simple words contained. Xiao Yibai kept his head down and did not dare to look into his brother's eyes. He just tried his best to stay calm.
He continued to reply mechanically, "The witchcraft of the Ancestral Night Clan can be traded with monsters. Although the monsters can't break the bonds of the Night King, they can help me recover briefly. It doesn't take me long, as long as I can survive until the time of God Killing."
The plan is completely enough, I think... with my body as a descendant of a vicious beast, the monster should be happy to make this deal with me, right?"
"You..." Xiao Qianye gritted his teeth and even pressed his hand uncontrollably on Gu Chen's knife handle. Xiao Yibai smiled and said indifferently, "But witchcraft will corrode the land. I thought about it again and again.
, I am planning to destroy Shanshi anyway, so I might as well stay here, but I didn’t expect to meet you, and I didn’t know that the Elder Council of Xuhai and the Zhenluo Clan were also in Shanshi, and I didn’t even know that Shanhaiji was there.
The Lord will be involved with the Lie King of the Heavenly Realm, which can be regarded as a blessing among misfortunes. If I hadn't met you, the variables would have been unpredictable, and perhaps the gain would outweigh the loss."
"Have you ever thought about yourself?" Xiao Qianye suppressed the anger and sadness in his heart and asked, "I don't blame you for killing your whole family, but if you kill yourself, I will never forgive you in this life.
.”
Xiao Yibai's expression finally changed. He wanted to say something, but he didn't speak.
"Why do you need to make a deal with a monster?" Yun Xiao murmured a sigh, silently bent down to look at Xiao Yibai's eyes that had been lowered, raised his hand to hold the ink-colored five-pointed star on his shoulder, and smiled slightly, "Make a deal with me.
how?"
Xiao Yibai looked at her quietly, and Feng Jiuqing's face suddenly appeared in his mind. He shook his head without thinking, but his tone became depressed and tired: "No, you want to turn me into the second Feng Jiuqing."
?That’s more painful than death. I don’t want it. That guy’s purpose of following the Night King for so many years is to find the phoenix that gave him eternal life. He hopes that the other party can take back this ability. Immortality is not a blessing, but a curse.”
Yun Xiao looked at him unexpectedly with a smile. Such a refusal without hesitation was a bit unexpected, but she immediately pursed her lips and cursed: "You have a good idea, but it's a pity that the fire in my body has been mixed with the demons of my twins."
Dragon's blood, although that thing has more advantages than disadvantages for most practitioners, but for a guy like you who has learned some evil arts and lost his soul, it may not be a treasure. I
I don’t want to risk turning you into like me. The deal I’m talking about is the night spell on your shoulders.”
Her fingertips passed over the lines of the five-pointed star, and the blazing flames began to burn along the ink-colored curse mark. Xiao Yibai silently felt the surging spiritual power in his body contending with another gloomy breath. The five-pointed star's
The horns disappeared little by little, and finally only the core seal remained that could not be burned.
Yun Xiao was sweating profusely in just a few moments. This was indeed a unique tyrannical spell in the heaven. This night curse was casually left on him by the Night King in his soul state, but right now she could do it.
The limit is only to minimize the binding power but cannot completely remove it. The martial arts in the heavenly realm originate from the real gods. It is indeed vast and infinite, as unpredictable and incomprehensible as the stars.
It’s no wonder that for so many years, Ukishima Island has only tried its best to cover up its traces and not be noticed by the heavenly world. If it is really a dead end, Ukishima Island will definitely fall first.
What the Night Curse blocks is not only the reversal of spiritual power, but also the more terrifying counterattack force. It is by holding this power that the Night King can use it as a bargaining chip to threaten Qianye. Now Xiao Yibai's body seems to be just
He was restrained for one year, but due to the shortcomings of the Time Condensation Technique, it was actually equivalent to being restrained for seventy or eighty years. If such a terrifying backlash were to come back to him, it would definitely be an extreme injury that would kill him instantly!
She must transfer this power to herself, at least her current body is enough to withstand this damage, otherwise Xiao Yibai will definitely be destroyed and bear the brunt of the decisive battle with the Night King one day, becoming the most dangerous person.
Yun Xiao took a deep breath, but her body trembled uncontrollably due to the struggle against the night curse. The counterattack power gradually transferred into her body, and the danger hidden in the fire began to boil.
"Brother and sister..." Xiao Yibai was aware of it, and leaned back subconsciously. In an instant, he caught a glimpse of a pentagram mark on the back of her hand, like some kind of special transfer technique. Yun Xiao was carrying Xiao Qianye on his back.
She made a shushing gesture to signal him to be quiet, and whispered into his ear through the flames, "I can only try my best to help you divert the backlash to avoid the Night King threatening it in the future. As a condition of the deal, you have to promise me
Take good care of him."
Xiao Yibai was silent, not knowing what to think. Her voice was hidden in the flames, and only he could hear it: "I don't know how long I can last, so I hope... the brother he cares about most can always be with him."
.”
The gongs and drums of the Mountain Expo have begun to sound, and the much-anticipated auction is about to open.
She nodded to Xiao Yibai as if nothing had happened. The almost fatal force to him only caused a slight discomfort on her body, which was quickly covered up quietly. Yun Xiao tiptoed back to Xiao Yibai.
Qianye held his arm beside him and said: "Let's sneak in first and see what's going on. You have to take care of things outside."
"A Xiao..." Xiao Qianye looked at Yun Xiao who was sweating profusely, feeling worried, but she just pulled him and jumped out of the window, waved her hands to a few people from a distance, and immediately went to the mountain
