Chapter 902: Vengeance
The two of them took advantage of the chaos to run away from Dunhuang, and then looked back at the ancient desert city. The scarlet moon shrouded in the sky, covered with a layer of blurred fog, as if the purgatory on earth was chilling.
Such lightning-like intervention caught Lei Gongmo's pursuit off guard, but under the night sky, countless fires burst out from the city, like demonic eyeballs flying in all directions. Yun Xiao swept coldly, waved his hand to gather the barrier of spiritual power, and looked at Wen Ting, who was as angry as a frivolous spring, and didn't know what kind of tragic torture she suffered. There was no complete skin on her body, and the flesh and blood of her five fingers were ulcerated and pus flowed. She subconsciously grabbed Xiao Qianye's wrist tightly. Although her eyes couldn't see it, she had a wonderful sense of familiarity. She struggled to spit out two words with her torn throat: "Kunlun..."
"Stop talking, I can help you repair your body, but it will hurt a lot and it will take a long time. You have to endure..." Yun Xiao quickly stopped it. The fire in her chest relieved the heart-wrenching pain. The immortal fire made Wen Ting's dissipated consciousness shake violently. Not only did she not obediently heal her wounds, she sat up like an electric shock, groping and grabbing Yun Xiao again. There seemed to be a burning light trembling in her empty eyes. She wanted to speak, and she vomited a mouthful of blood and coughed heavily.
"Don't move, don't move!" Yun Xiao hurriedly supported her. The woman who was not afraid at the altar burst into tears at this moment, and wrote a line of words on the sand with her bare bone-exposed fingers.
"There are traitors, Yuezhi ruins?" Yun Xiao recited these words, thought for a moment, and asked tentatively, "Are you saying that a traitor betrayed you, that person is in Yuezhi ruins?"
Wen Ting nodded for a second because she was blind and could not tell the direction. She could only look helplessly, and looked around blankly. Yun Xiao and Xiao Qianye looked at each other. Dunhuang connected the countries of the Western Regions. This desert has been uneasy since ancient times. Not only were there bandits and horses and thieves lying dormant among them, but also secret spies from various countries lurking. Yuezhi was once a great country with war horses and chariots. Its power was enough to dominate the entire Hexi Corridor. Later, it was attacked by the Huns and divided into two. Some of the ethnic groups moved west to Yili, while the other retreated to Kunlun Mountain for a generation. Now only a small number of the remnants are left outside Dunhuang City, living a self-sufficient nomadic life.
If there are no experienced guides on this deserted desert, they two outsiders want to find an ancient Yuezhi ruin in the vast yellow sand, which is like looking for a needle in a haystack!
Just when the two of them were at a loss, a camel bell suddenly sounded. Xiao Qianye alertly protected Yun Xiao and heard a slightly familiar voice saying in surprise: "It's you! This girl, can't it be Tingting?"
"Old man!" Yun Xiao looked at the old man in front of him in disbelief. Isn't this the old man who was talking to them just outside Dunhuang City?
The old man frowned tightly and quickly glanced at the scarlet Dunhuang not far away. His narrow eyes immediately became sharp and sharp. He patted his camel and quickly urged: "Put her up quickly, it's not safe here. There are minions of the Demon Cult and Lei Gongmo's eyeliner everywhere. Go quickly!"
Before the two of them could hesitate, Wen Ting could hear the old man's voice. She endured the severe pain and grabbed the reins and turned the camel onto the camel. The old man also climbed up agilely and said, "Can you two catch up? Go west, don't lose it."
Before he finished speaking, the camel ran wildly in the desert. It was the first time he saw a camel running faster than a horse. Yun Xiao widened his eyes and was stunned. Xiao Qianye grabbed her hand. Even the sword spirit did not use his feet to breeze across the yellow sand and chased the dust rolled up by the camel. Until the sky slowly turned white, a dilapidated grotto suddenly came into his eyes. The old man looked back several times with lingering fear, and then he carefully helped him after confirming that he had not been followed.
Wen Ting hid in the stone chamber. Everything here was very dilapidated and stained with thick sand. He wiped the pottery bowl several times before pouring a little out of the water bag and handing it over. He couldn't help crying: "Tingting, it's really you Tingting! I heard that people have been stabbing Lei Gongmo this year. I guess it's you. You have been stubborn since you were a child and you are not willing to give in. That bastard killed the general. You must have looked for revenge for him."
Wen Ting was just a little water and couldn't swallow it. Even though she was angry, she could barely squeeze out a gentle smile, which made Old Man Li choke and lose her voice. Yun Xiao himself was breathing, but hurriedly helped him sit next to him. After all, he was an elderly man, and how could he withstand a night of life escape? He patted his chest and abdomen to calm his emotions, and looked at the two of them gratefully and said, "I thought you were the guys in Zhongyuan who had some spare money and had nothing to do to have fun everywhere. I didn't expect you to save Tingting. If there were any rude things before, please forgive me and don't bother with me, an old man."
"Old man, please drink a little water first." Yun Xiao didn't mind. This stone chamber looked simple, but there were all basic daily necessities. It seemed that it was Old Man Li's residence. Several people relieved. Old Man Li sighed and then slowly said, "More than ten years ago, I was in danger in the desert and was rescued by a pretty and lively little girl. Later, I realized that it was Wen Ting, the eldest daughter of General Wen who ran away from home. She wanted to report her safety to her family, but she was afraid that the general would force her to go back to read the books of the sages of the Central Plains, so she asked me to help deliver the letter. How could I refuse the entrusted by my life-saving benefactor? This was for more than ten years. It was not until the general was killed last year that Tingting broke off contact with me and there was no news again."
Old Man Li wiped tears in a difficult control, and the mud on his fingers left finger marks on his cheeks. The painful past made him tremble: "Later, I heard Tingting talk about the old things in the family. Her mother was General Wen's wife. Her real name was Yue Wuyi. She was the princess of the Yuezhi remnants. She was the position of the high priest in the clan. She was considered to be acquainted with the general. The ruins of Yuezhi were robbed by horse bandits. The princess broke into the bandit camp alone and happened to be in a state of collision with the Hussars led by the general.
Then, he was almost treated as a horse thief and accomplices, but the two of them also became acquaintance. Since then, the princess gave up her former identity and became the general's right-hand man. They resisted the invasion of foreign enemies together and prevented the infiltration of the demon cult forces. That was the real hero of Dunhuang. He Lei Gongmo was nothing! If he hadn't saved the general when he was young, the general would be grateful to him for staying by his side and cultivating himself. The kind of lackey who was trampling on the inside and without conscience would have died 10,000 times, I bah!"
Old Man Li scolded for a while indignantly, and his eyes became sad. Looking at Wen Ting, who could not recognize her appearance in front of him, he felt heartbroken: "The first time I heard that Lei Gongmo was assassinated, I guessed that it should be Tingting, but the little man had the guards of the Demon Sect, which would have some magical magic. He was seriously injured several times but could not kill his dog's life. A month ago, the Demon Sect's saint came to Dunhuang and said that he was going to hold a spiritual ritual. The city had already started preparing. I smelled the smell and heard endless singing again, so I simply moved it out and was not upset. It is said that it was at that time that Lei Gongmo was assassinated again, but he did not defend as before. Instead, he wiped out dozens of assassins in one fell swoop. If it weren't for being rescued by a Kunlun female sword immortal in the middle, he would probably have been wiped out."
"Senior Sister!" Yun Xiao and Xiao Qianye shouted in unison, and Old Man Li was shocked, "Senior Sister? Are you from Kunlun too?"
"Senior sister has no news for a month. We are here to come to find her this time!" Yun Xiao grabbed Old Man Li's hand anxiously, and his already worried mood became even more chaotic. At this time, Wen Ting, who did not say a word, tried to move to her side. Although she could not make a sound, her bloody hand firmly and forcefully pressed her shoulders, as if she was asking her not to hurry. Then she struggled to write on the ground with difficulty, "She is in the ruins of Yuezhi, and the high priest is taking care of her and has escaped."
Yun Xiao breathed a sigh of relief, suddenly remembered the first sentence she wrote just now, and immediately gasped: "The ruins of Yuezhi... Senior sister is in the ruins of Yuezhi, isn't that traitor right next to her?"
Wen Ting gritted her teeth, and there seemed to be a fire burning her heart in her broken body. All kinds of words piled up in her throat. She clenched her fists with all her strength, as if she was waiting for some information anxiously, until a small light of white light suddenly appeared in the broken palm. Her consciousness tightened, and she clearly showed a look of relief. Then she reached out to the ground again and continued to write: "The traitor has been punished by the high priest."
Yun Xiao was slightly stunned, but saw Wen Ting's desperate decision in his empty eyes and making a hoarse and terrifying laugh. Just as the few people were puzzled, an ethereal voice actually came from her palm. It was a female voice as indifferent as water and as clear as the moon: "Tingting, as you expected, Langning was really bewitched by the Demon Cult to become Lei Gongmo's lackey. He took advantage of your time to destroy the festival and try to poison the same tribe in the city. Your sacrifice will never be in vain. Lei Gongmo and the Demon Cult will both pay the price for this!"
Wen Ting breathed a sigh of relief. Once her tense reason was relaxed, life would pass away like fine sand. Yun Xiao immediately took action to stabilize her heart and voice transmission technique. Since the other party could transmit voice for thousands of miles, she had a way to find the ruins of Yuezhi. Although her fire could not completely restore other people's damaged body, it was not difficult to save her life. What she was most concerned about now is Tang Hongxiu's safety, and the conversations that made her scared just now. Could it be that the seemingly defeated assassination before had something else?
She slowly held Wen Ting's hand and tried to contact the people opposite her. From a long distance, she clearly felt the shock and confusion of the high priest. In order to show her identity, she asked Xiao Qianye to take out the Likong Sword and said seriously: "We came here to eliminate the whereabouts of our senior sister. We also noticed that the minions of the Demon Cult began to invade and infiltrate the Central Plains. Kunlun Mountain adhered to the ancestral teaching of "supporting the world with compassion", and we must not allow the intention of man-made disasters to disrupt the people. We also asked the high priest to guide the direction, and I will definitely give the general justice."
The woman in the distant Yuezhi ruins closed her eyes and thought. Such pure and pure breath of flames seemed to have the divine power to cleanse people's hearts, which made her whisper after a brief silence: "Come in the direction of the big star."
