Chapter 98: Encirclement and suppression
Xue Yaozi had been waiting anxiously at the crevice of the Glacier Forest. The Snow Magic Flute played complex tones, protecting the center of the forest with layers of sound. However, even so, she could still keenly sense that the outside was getting closer and closer.
footsteps.
The moment the firelight flew out of the crack, the Blazing Phoenix converged its wings, gently lowered the people on its back to the ground, and then returned to Feng Ji's hand like a long sword.
"Is there someone outside?" Feng Ji's face darkened, and she quickly noticed something unusual. She deliberately lowered her voice. Xue Yaozi took a step forward and said nervously, "Well, I've been here for a while, I'm waiting for you here.
At that time, I noticed that someone on the periphery had been trying to get closer. Although I was temporarily separated by the sound range technique, the other party seemed to have some ability and was getting closer and closer."
"They are people from the Anbu of the Forbidden Army," Xiao Yibai said. It was a little tricky, and he felt endless irritation. He pointed deeper and said, "This place is close to the periphery of the Demon Sealing Seat. It will not be easy for them to get in.
But we can't get any closer."
"Let me lure them away." Feng Ji shook her sword, turned around and walked in the direction of the footsteps. Xue Yaozi followed worriedly. Feng Ji paused and said, "You follow them, it doesn't matter to me."
"Lord Feng Ji!" Xue Yaozi still wanted to argue, but Feng Ji shook her hand, and the aura of flowing fire hit the snow fir tree in front of her. The snow on the top of the tree fell with a crash, making a huge sound. She lowered her voice and urged, "
Let’s go!”
Xiao Qianye looked at her back thoughtfully, quickly sketching the nearby terrain in his mind, and finally answered: "Let's go in the direction of the Demon Suppression Road. After exiting the Demon Suppression Road, we can take a detour to the glacier and walk all the way up the glacier.
, it should be... Si Xing Terrace, Si Xing Terrace has been demolished by you, right? How about we meet there? "
"Yes." Feng Ji nodded and glanced at Yun Xiao, "I can contact Shuangtian Phoenix, so you don't have to wait for me."
"Okay." Xiao Qianye didn't talk nonsense and walked in front with his sword in hand. Xiao Yibai and Yun Xiao looked at each other and had no choice but to follow him carefully. Xue Yaozi pouted and couldn't help but look back.
Looking at Feng Ji, she was holding a sword and cutting down several towering ancient trees. The huge sound alarmed the footsteps in the forest. Those sounds became hasty and anxious, and they were quickly approaching in this direction.
"Oh! Still acting like this!" Although Xue Yaozi scolded unhappily, she quickly changed direction and followed Xiao Qianye.
The Demon Suppressing Road was much more rugged and narrow than the Evil Killing Road, and there were messy gravels blocking the road. It was very difficult to walk. Xiao Qianye carefully led the way, using his sword spirit to pick up broken wood and gravel, and he looked back.
The god who followed him asked, "What's going on in the imperial capital?"
"It's a mess." Xue Yaozi rolled her eyes at him angrily, then suddenly squeezed Yun Xiao and complained, "You borrowed my white tiger and didn't return it, so I have to follow you...
"
"Is that white tiger yours?" Xiao Yibai answered in surprise, thinking of the white tiger guarding Huo Cang on the Weixue Plateau, he was speechless, "I'm still wondering that the white tiger is not ours, how can it guard Huo Cang well?
Cang didn't let him freeze to death. It turned out that you came to help. Thank you very much."
"Oh, the real master didn't even thank me! You are so positive." Xue Yaozi said with a bit of sarcasm, her eyes wandered repeatedly on Xiao Qianye, then she hugged Yun Xiao and said with a smile, "It's this person
The girl borrowed it from me. Originally, I was going to save her according to Lady Feng Ji's order. She was lucky enough to run to save others even though she had only half a life left! Look at what you've done.
Less suffering, right? Huh!"
"Let the god guard worry about it." Xiao Yibai said with honey in his mouth, and he quickly praised, "But fortunately I have your help, otherwise Huo Cang and my brother would have been in serious trouble! The Weixue Plateau is severely cold all year round, and Huo Cang was seriously injured.
He was unconscious and unconscious in the snow. If your white tiger hadn't been guarding him, he would have been frozen to death by the time I found him! If my brother hadn't been followed by Miss Yun, he would still be trapped in the dungeon of the Immortal Python Clan.
Here!"
"You are good at talking." Xue Yaozi replied happily and clapped her hands. In fact, she herself did not expect that things would develop like this, and lending the white tiger was just a whim.
"Huh." Xiao Qianye snorted coldly, ignored the two people's compliments, and continued to ask, "So what happened in the imperial capital?"
"I heard that the Governor's Mansion and the Star Sacrifice Palace were attacked, and the murderer hasn't been caught yet." Xue Yaozi then became serious, and her tone suddenly tightened, "I got the news from Xuecheng, maybe it wasn't that timely, but
There is something strange in Xuecheng City now. In the past, the city was garrisoned by the Pegasus Legion of the Military Pavilion, but now it has been replaced by the third detachment of the Forbidden Army. Even Captain Gao has entered the city in person. Don’t think I am a divine guard. I am such a ghost.
I almost got discovered by them when I entered the city like this!"
"The Forbidden Army has entered the city?" Xiao Qianye stopped suddenly, his eyes were bright, he clenched the sword spirit tightly, and asked through gritted teeth, "Where were the people from the Horse Army that day?"
"I don't know about this." Xue Yaozi shook her head and felt a little scared when she caught a glimpse of the inexplicable murderous look in the other person's eyes. She swallowed, took a breath, and continued, "I didn't even see him when I went there.
People who came to Tianma! It’s just that the Governor’s Mansion and Star Sacrifice Palace in the imperial capital were attacked by unknown people, and even Hanyu Fazhu was killed! Plus...ahem, plus Lady Feng Ji demolished it
Si Xingtai nearby killed Shen Yin Fazhu again, and now everyone is spreading the word... that someone wants to rebel!"
"What else?" Xiao Qianye asked impatiently, hesitating to speak, Xue Yaozi quickly answered, "Xuecheng is still a bit far from the imperial capital, and this is all that can be found out now, oh...and...
There is one thing. It is said that Ye Zhuofan of the Blue Bird Legion was ambushed by the Wind Demon and disappeared, and his whereabouts are still unknown..."
"Was ambushed by the wind demon?" The three of them spoke at the same time, and then looked at each other awkwardly. Xiao Yibai cleared his throat and asked, "When did it happen?"
"It's been a few days." Xue Yaozi looked at them strangely, feeling that the faces of the three of them were a little unnatural.
"Brother, Huo Cang... is recovering from his injuries in Snow City, right?" Xiao Qianye avoided Shen Shou's gaze keenly and paced worriedly, "Tianma's people withdrew from Snow City. If the Imperial Capital hadn't done anything to me,
There is a nationwide arrest warrant, so why did they evacuate without my order? Or... have been secretly detained? Huo Cang was injured so seriously, if he happens to be recovering in Xuecheng, I'm afraid he will..."
"Qianye." Xiao Yibai interrupted him, stretched out his hand to wipe the cold sweat from his brother's forehead, and sighed, "The most dangerous person now is not them, but you."
Xiao Qianye was slightly shocked, looked up into the distance, his eyes unpredictable, and whispered in a complex voice: "I caused them trouble, but I...can't help them!"
"Don't worry, they probably won't get into trouble so soon. After all, most of them are from the Eighth Military Palace, and the emperor will not be so reckless." Xiao Yibai comforted him. Even though he was worried, he still had to try to cheer up.
Encouraging his younger brother, "In comparison, you are the person they want most. If it weren't for the emergency, I really shouldn't let you return to the imperial capital to take risks..."
"Isn't it the same if they arrest you?" Xiao Qianye looked up at him and reminded, "You have forgotten that we are twins. It will be just as dangerous for you to go back now."
"In terms of self-protection, I should be better than you." Xiao Yibai smiled bitterly, and said something else - even if they are twins, their incomplete souls are not as important as their younger brothers to the Imperial Capital and the Night King.
"Let's go. If I can't save the prince now, I won't be able to save anyone in the future." Xiao Qianye squeezed the Likong Sword hard, turned to Yun Xiao and warned, "Axiao, I'm sorry for getting you involved again, but you followed Feng
Ji... may be the safest choice now, promise me not to leave her side no matter what."
"Yeah." Yun Xiao hesitated for a moment, then nodded obediently.
"Hush, someone is there!" Xue Yaozi stepped forward with a serious look on her face. She blew the snow magic flute horizontally and made a sound, and then a sound wave formation swayed under her feet. The three of them stood back to back with heightened vigilance at the same time. The sound of wind was mixed with the sound in the distance.
The glacier water, and even the chirping of birds and insects from further away began to circle in the sound range. Xue Yaozi made a hissing gesture to them, and the melody in the flute suddenly changed. Sure enough, there were messy footsteps following.
He came up, hesitated nearby for a long time, and ran in the other direction.
"I'm looking for you everywhere!" Xue Yaozi glanced at Xiao Qianye. Although he didn't know what secrets this person was hiding, he was the first person in history to make the imperial capital spend so much time searching for him, right?
"Damn it! If this continues, we will be delayed. Something big must have happened in the imperial capital. Otherwise, it is just to arrest someone. There is no need to be in such a hurry!" Xiao Yibai gritted his teeth, and his eyes became sharper, as if he was under some kind of terrible force.
Determined, he glanced at his younger brother and said in a low voice, "We can't waste time with them here. I'm going to deal with these annoying guys. You take Miss Yun to Si Xingtai first, and I will catch up with you soon."
"
"Brother, you..." Xiao Qianye hesitated. He had seen his eldest brother's strength before, and he was afraid that he would not be his opponent if he took it seriously. But what if he loses control of his soul again?
"Don't worry, I'm measured." Xiao Yibai urged anxiously. He had already caught a glimpse of a rustling figure in the distance from the corner of his eye, "Quickly go."
"Wait a minute..." Yun Xiao suddenly stopped him and took out Fengshen with a flip of his palm, "It's best for you to use less spells in your condition. If Fengshen is given back to you, it might be useful."
"..." Xiao Yibai took the Fengshen in a complex manner, and the corner of his mouth twitched inadvertently - she saw it. A moment ago, Feng Ji reminded him seriously not to force it anymore. As expected, people with the breath of the spirit phoenix have better perception.
Keen, since he used the soul-splitting method without authorization ten years ago to separate his own soul, he has often felt very tired, and his physical condition has become increasingly weak. Even if he tries to smile, his spiritual power is still under control.
With the passage of control, Yun Xiao has already felt that she is getting weaker and weaker?
Xiao Yibai suddenly lowered his eyes, thinking of His Highness the Crown Prince, whose life and death were still unknown, and smiled helplessly. If he had not taken risks back then and relied on his separated souls to convey his spiritual power to him, Mingxi's body would have been even worse.
There is no way I can survive today!
He silently clenched his fists hard, but the separated soul still did not respond to his call. What sudden change had happened in the imperial capital? Why was Mingxi so stubborn in refusing to contact him this time!?
"Tsk..." Xiao Yibai suddenly rubbed his eyes irritably. At that moment, his ice-blue eyes suddenly lit up, and with a murderous intent, he turned to the source of the footsteps.
