"Retreated? All of them? "
In the royal tent of the Jin army, Tai-shu Xiong and Tai-shu Feihua stood up in shock.
Tao Lue reported, "Yes, Elder Hei Shi suddenly ran away with his men without saying a word. I personally went to take a look. All the people from the Holy Venerable's side had run away. Not a single one was left. They were suddenly all gone. "
Tai-shu Xiong and Tai-shu Feihua looked at each other, not knowing what was going on.
Then, the two quickly ran out to take a look personally. That's right, Hei Shi and the rest had indeed left. Wu Chang's men were all gone.
In other words, they were free. But it was strange and made them feel uneasy.
…
Thatched Cottage Villa, Qingshan prefecture's Thatched Cottage, the original location of the real Thatched Cottage Villa.
Apart from that, the place where Thatched Cottage and the rest stayed in the outside world was called Thatched Cottage Courtyard by their own people. Only outsiders would call it Thatched Cottage Villa. They would not pay attention to the difference between a villa and a courtyard. It was just a name.
In front of the grave outside the villa, Niu Youdao stood quietly with his sword. The trees at the side were growing stronger and stronger. The canopy of the trees was like a canopy that shaded the lonely grave.
The inside and outside of the villa were deserted. There were not many people. Many had not returned yet.
For example, Guan Fangyi had gone to deal with her personal affairs. Shang Shuqing led the Crow General army to assist Shang Chaozong in battle. Zhao Xiongge was also sent by Niu Youdao to follow the army. His main responsibility was to protect Shang Chaozong and the rest. At this time, he did not want any accidents to happen.
He also warned Zhao Xiongge to only be responsible for protecting and not to interfere in the battle. In the future, he also did not allow Nascent Soul cultivators to interfere.
Of course, although the place was deserted, the most powerful cultivators in the world were basically all in this Thatched Cottage Villa. It was fine to say that they were kept here by Niu Youdao.
Yun Ji floated over and stared at the grave. She sighed, "It's a pity that she didn't live to see you succeed?"
Niu Youdao said, "I can succeed, but not fame." He turned and asked her, "Where's Hongniang? Why isn't she back yet?"
Yun Ji: "Didn't you ask her to bring Feng Guaner to the Devil Cult?"
Niu Youdao: "How many days has it been? Does it take so long to take care of an official?"
Yun Ji smiled and said, "She sent a letter saying that she wants to accompany Nantian Wufang to deal with the matters of the Devil Cult. Previously, Nantian Wufang left the Devil Cult too hastily, so she wants to accompany Nantian Wufang to make things clear."
"…" Niu Youdao was speechless, his expression was strange.
Yun Ji: "What's your reaction?"
Niu Youdao sighed. "You've been abducted by another man so quickly?"
Yun Ji couldn't help but laugh. "Didn't you say it yourself? Matchmakers are all about love and love. Besides, you were the one who brought them together. Now those two are going to have a good time with each other. Don't worry, I'll come back to see you. "
Niu Youdao smiled and shook his head as he looked around. "I'm finally back after being away for so many years."
Yun Ji looked around, only to feel relaxed and happy. Unlike in the past, when she had to hide cautiously and constantly worry about danger, now she was really relaxed and free.
Although this place was small, it was the only one in the world. It was really like the saying in the villa: the mountain doesn't matter how high it is, the water doesn't matter how deep it is, the dragon doesn't matter how deep it is!
Now that she didn't have to be afraid of anything, Yun Ji looked comfortable and emotional. "It's good to be back!"
After saying that, the two looked at the entrance of the villa almost at the same time, only to see Yuan Gang striding over.
When he walked in front of the two, they looked at him up and down and found that his skin was even more golden.
Niu Youdao asked, "You're done?"
Yuan Gang nodded. "I'm done."
Sure enough, he could hear the spirit in his eyes. Yun Ji clicked her tongue. "You monkey, you're really … I don't know how to describe you."
Niu Youdao said, "Come out with me when you're done."
Yuan Gang nodded in agreement.
Yun Ji was curious. "Where are we going?"
Niu Youdao didn't want to talk about it for the time being. Suddenly, there was a "dong" sound coming from inside the villa. Those who were familiar with it would know that it was mealtime. The monks in the villa were ringing the bell.
Soon, a person ran out of the entrance of the villa. It was Yuan Fang, dressed in a monk's robe, looking around. When he saw the person, he immediately came over in a flash and bowed. "Daoye, it's time for mealtime."
Niu Youdao smiled. "Ringing the bell in the villa. Now that I think about it, it does seem a little strange. Yuan Fang, I'm going to build the biggest temple in the world for you. You can choose any place in the world. Tell me when you've chosen a place. "After saying that, he led the two people beside him and strode away.
Yuan Fang was stunned. Then, he turned around and stared blankly at the departing figures. Suddenly, he covered his face with both hands and started crying. His wish of many years was finally going to come true.
But soon, he raised his sleeves and wiped his tears. He put his palms together and silently prayed for a while. Then, he picked up his monk's robe and ran away. He eagerly caught up with Niu Youdao and the others, chattering about what they were going to eat.
…
The undulating sand dunes and arches were suddenly pierced through with a bang. A huge sand scorpion drilled out of the ground.
Niu Youdao and Yuan Gang stood behind the sand scorpion. They looked around and then at the sky. After confirming that they had arrived at the fifth domain, Yuan Gang shouted, and the sand scorpion immediately changed its direction and ran wildly in the desert …
The pyramid that they were familiar with appeared in their sight. The sand scorpion ran all the way and stopped at the foot of the pyramid.
Niu Youdao looked up at the top of the pyramid. Yuan Gang knew that he was coming here, but he couldn't help asking again, "What are you here to see?"
Niu Youdao said, "I've read Li Ge's letter, which is the Demonic Book. I always feel that there's something hidden behind the message left by Li Ge. "
Yuan Gang asked, "Feel?"
Niu Youdao nodded. "Other people won't think otherwise when they see the Demonic Book, but I'm the so-called person in the mirror in the Demonic Book. You and I are here because of the bronze mirror in the ancient tomb. Other people will think that it's natural for the person in the mirror to do things for Li Ge and that it must be Li Ge's arrangement, but I know very well that there's nothing natural about it. No matter which person in the mirror comes, I'm afraid that they will ask, 'Why should I do what Li Ge said?' "
He looked back at Yuan Gang. "But the Demonic Book doesn't show any signs of coercion or punishment for the person in the mirror. Who is willing to take the risk because of what she left behind? Not only will they take the risk, but the person in the mirror who comes to this world will also have to follow her instructions and cut off the passage between the five realms. If it were you, what would you think? "
Yuan Gang said thoughtfully, "It's a bit strange indeed."
Niu Youdao said, "This is Li Ge's cleverness. Some things don't need to be said. They can be kept secret, and people who should know will naturally understand. Others may not understand the meaning behind the letter, but the person in the mirror will definitely have this question. "
Yuan Gang looked up at the pyramid. "Daoye, do you suspect that Li Ge's instructions are here?"
Niu Youdao looked over as well. "This is the core of the Five Regions Stellar Array. It's where the core of the Five Regions Stellar Array is activated. It's also the first key to severing the passageway between the five realms. If there is no explanation here, why should the person in the mirror continue and trap herself in a realm? If there is an explanation, it must be here! "
Yuan Gang was puzzled. "How do we find the explanation?"
Niu Youdao fished out a token from his sleeve, flipped his hand, and revealed a token in his hand. It was the Star Order!
Then, Niu Youdao flashed away and floated to the top of the pyramid.
Yuan Gang also jumped up and landed on the waist of the tower. Then he quickly climbed and jumped up, running all the way at a very fast speed.
Not long after Niu Youdao landed on the top of the tower, Yuan Gang had already followed him.
After staring at the top of the tower for a while, Niu Youdao waved his sleeve and swept away the dust on the platform, revealing the groove.
Niu Youdao stretched out the Star Token and placed it on top of the notch to compare. The size was just right, and the concave and convex patterns on the token seemed to match the inside of the notch. However, he still didn't place the Star Token into the notch.
Yuan Gang saw that he was hesitating and seemed to be thinking about something. He stayed quiet and did not disturb Daoye. He believed that Daoye would make the wisest choice.
In the end, Niu Youdao took a deep breath and pressed the token in his hand into the groove with a "Pa" sound. He slowly released his hand and observed the position of the token from time to time to see if there were any changes. He also observed the surroundings from time to time.
Yuan Gang had the same reaction. Both of them were carefully observing their surroundings.
Suddenly, Yuan Gang turned back to stare at the token and said in a low voice, "Daoye, there seems to be something unusual." His senses were very sharp and he sensed something.
Niu Youdao raised his hand to stop him. Needless to say, he himself had also sensed that there was a faint cleansing of the Qi of Heaven and Earth inside the pyramid, cleansing the Star Order.
Gradually, as the cleansing of the Qi became more and more obvious, there seemed to be wind around them.
Their clothes fluttered in the strong wind.
Both of them looked up at the sky and saw that the clouds were brewing again. The grayish-white clouds became thicker and thicker, gradually turning into rolling black rain clouds. There was a faint rumbling sound inside.
The sky was dark, but the rumbling in the dark clouds gradually turned into rolling thunder, and there were continuous flashes of lightning inside.
Suddenly, "Bang!" A bolt of lightning flashed across the sky and fiercely struck the top of the tower.
Again? Niu Youdao was startled. He had experienced that before, and it was not a good feeling. He immediately flew away with Yuan Gang and hurriedly jumped off the top of the tower to avoid it.
"Boom!" Both of them who had yet to land looked back and saw that the bolt of lightning was striking the top of the tower.
The two of them heaved a sigh of relief when it did not chase after them. Yuan Gang landed on the waist of the tower and did not run away. He looked up.
Niu Youdao ran further away. He landed on the sand and looked up.
The sand scorpion that had sent them here was so frightened that it fled into the sand.
After the bolt of lightning, there was a continuous "bang bang" sound of lightning, constantly striking the top of the tower. The lightning seemed to be injected into the tower.
Finally, the pyramid seemed to have awakened and began to buzz and tremble.
As the continuous banging of lightning became more and more frequent, the pyramid began to shake violently and actually began to sink with a rumbling sound.
The earth trembled and the desert trembled. The momentum was astonishing.
