As the Luan's cry fell, on the narrow Burial of Heaven Cold Ground, a divine bird pattern like a rainbow appeared in the middle of the snow tree trunk, ripples flowing, glowing with the same blue ice crystals around Duanmu Xiao Man's body.
Eyes flashing, Palace Lord Guyue's spirit was shaken. A whirlpool appeared beneath his feet, and he used his soul energy to drive away the coldness in his bloodline.
"Jijiu!"
Another piercing cry of a Luan was heard. The snow tree turned into a deep blue color, and the pattern of the divine bird was wrapped in tiny ice crystals. The portal closed, and Gu Yue disappeared into the snow tree.
After he disappeared, the Heavenly Command Palace fell into a bustling state.
The battle with the Long family was imminent.
In the Demon Subduing Sect, the Chaos Region was constantly training. Long Poshan and the other elders worked day and night to strengthen the Central Tremor Formation.
No one knew when the Long family would come, but Duanmu Xiaoman's appearance reassured everyone in the Heavenly Command Palace.
Thus, it was strange that Duanmu Xiongtu would come to the Heavenly Command Palace when he was so busy.
Night fell, and the world was dark.
The Central Tremor Peak rose and fell, and the inky black mountain range rose and fell. A golden light streaked through the night, heading straight for the Heavenly Command Palace.
The night rain pitter-pattered, and the dark sky was hazy. Duanmu Xiongtu's figure appeared in front of the palace without the slightest delay.
In the dark night, the palace was like a giant demonic beast entrenched in the Central Tremor Peak. Silver-white arcs of lightning struck down, illuminating the entire palace.
"The palace hasn't changed after so many years!"
Duanmu Xiongtu's face tightened, and a complicated emotion flashed through his eyes.
It was as if he had come to the Heavenly Command Palace a long time ago. His tightly pursed lips were moistened by the rain. It was unknown whether it was tears or rain, but Duanmu Xiongtu's figure looked very lonely in the rain.
Four hours passed, and Duanmu Xiongtu stood in front of the palace like a statue.
"Sigh, it's done, but even Princess Duanmu …"
A graceful and worried voice was emitted from the divine hall. Soon after, a tender male voice was emitted.
"Sister, the most difficult part has been solved. We should believe in brother Su Yi and sister Xiao Man."
"Hahaha, look at Ah Chu. He even knows how to comfort his sister now." Duanmu Xiongtu recognized that it was Elder Hong's voice.
Dong dong!
Behind the three of them, a ferocious figure shot over. Green light instantly illuminated the entrance of the Heaven Command Divine Hall.
"Alright, it's getting late. I have some ideas about that thing. Let's hurry back."
Elder Mo coughed and finally came out of the temple, his face abnormally gloomy.
It seemed like Duanmu Xiaoman's final words to Elder Mo were extremely important.
In the corner, Duanmu Xiongtu, who had retracted his aura to the extreme, narrowed his eyes. The following words caused Duanmu Xiongtu's heart to tremble.
Elder Hong nodded heavily. Ah Chu and Li Shiran walked in front. Elder Hong pulled Elder Mo and whispered, "What else did the Palace Master say to you?"
"What did you say?"
"You think I can't see that Duanmu Xiongtu is that person back then?" Elder Hong frowned and lowered her voice.
"Who? Who? Old people talk too much. Let's go!
”
Elder Mo spat and immediately ignored Elder Hong. He pulled Li Shiran and Ah Chu and said, "You two follow me back to the Heavenly Pill House. There should be a record in a book. Help me look for it."
The siblings suddenly turned around. "Oh, oh, Master."
Elder Hong looked at Elder Mo in confusion. She scratched her head and whispered, "Isn't it? It should be. "
Immediately, in front of the temple, the night rain drifted and Duanmu Xiongtu's figure appeared again like a ghost.
Whoosh whoosh!
Spiritual energy drifted and the powerful energy of heaven and earth wrapped around the temple. Duanmu Xiongtu's footsteps moved gently. In the end, he sighed deeply and turned to leave.
"We've already arrived at the Heaven Command Palace. Are we just going to stay here for four hours?"
In the ethereal heaven and earth, a cold and lonely voice slowly fell, like a soft gauze caressing one's heart.
Suddenly, Duanmu Xiong Tu froze on the spot. He turned around and a white phantom appeared behind him.
Her snowy eyes were cold and a trace of frost flashed between her eyebrows. Like an ice sculpture, Duanmu Xiongtu immediately felt that this was Duanmu Xiaoman's doppelganger.
"You …" Duanmu Xiongtu's lips moved slightly.
Duanmu Xiaoman gently raised her hand and the phantom disappeared, leaving behind a voice. "Come in, I remember you."
Gulp!
In an instant, Duanmu Xiongtu's heart beat wildly. With a light tap of his foot, he entered the temple.
In the vast and cold main hall, Duanmu Xiongtu once again saw that untainted figure.
The fairy-like figure was faint and dreamy. Duanmu Xiaoman's graceful figure curled up from her seat. Surrounded by ice crystals, she gave off a powerful and inviolable aura.
"The battle at the Holy Mountain. I remembered you the moment I saw you." Duanmu Xiaoman's voice was like a clear spring that flowed into Duanmu Xiongtu's heart.
At that time, Su Yi washed the Holy Mountain with blood. It was a grand scene, but Duanmu Xiongtu felt like a knife was being twisted in his heart. However, after Duanmu Xiaoman's arrival, the situation and the development of the situation were far beyond his imagination.
"You really remember me? You were so young back then. "
The corner of Duanmu Xiongtu's mouth twitched as he smiled bitterly. Looking at this flawless face, his memories went back to more than a hundred years ago.
"Qingtian was young, but I was five years old back then. Of course I remember. You were the one who brought Qingtian and me to the Heaven Command Palace."
As she spoke, Duanmu Xiaoman spoke as if she was narrating someone else's words, without the slightest trace of emotion.
Duanmu Xiongtu's expression froze as a trace of haze flashed in the depths of his eyes. He said in a low voice, "After I handed you and your brother to your master, I never went to the Heaven Command Palace again. I didn't expect that after so many years, I would still come back because of you two."
"… …" Duanmu Xiaoman was silent.
Duanmu Xiaoman's voice gradually calmed down. She said, "What happened between you and my master back then? Why did Qingtian and I become orphans?"
"You never asked your master?" Duanmu Xiongtu asked curiously.
Duanmu Xiaoman shook her head and stared at him. Her cherry lips twitched as she said, "After you left, my master treated us like his own children. How could I bring up those things and make him sad?"
"You're quite understanding." Duanmu Xiongtu smiled bitterly. His hands clenched into fists as if he had mustered up the courage to ask, "Is your master well?"
Turning around, Duanmu Xiaoman's beautiful figure trembled as she spoke in an almost imperceptible trembling voice.
"Master left a long time ago. Before she left, she said she was going to find someone."
