—------------------—
In the early morning, in a valley dozens of miles away from Holy Soul Village, surrounded by mountains, there are green trees and a magnificent waterfall connecting heaven and earth.
This is the border between the Tiandou Empire and the Xingluo Empire, a wilderness with few people. There are still some thousand-year-old soul beasts in the surrounding mountains and forests, so no one will come close.
"Is what you are looking for right here?" The Ice Dragon King was a little confused.
Are there hundred thousand year old soul bones in such a ghost place?
"Behind that waterfall." Xuan Ming pointed to the waterfall in the distance.
"Okay, give me your body." The Ice Dragon King once again took over Xuan Ming's body, leaped up, and flew into the waterfall.
She is the Ice Dragon King and the Water Dragon King. Although she is dead, she can still sense the environment by controlling the flow of water.
"Is there really a secret room?"
The Ice Dragon King, carried by the water flow, came to the middle of the waterfall. He waved his hand to disperse the water flow, and with a light tap, a piece of rock that fit perfectly into the room sank into it, which looked like a man-made stone door.
With a flash of his figure, the Ice Dragon King came into the cave and returned his body to Xuan Ming.
The cave was very moist, about three meters high and two meters wide, extending inward.
When I walked to the innermost part, everything around me suddenly lit up. I looked up and saw a stone hole appearing at the top of the cave wall. Here was a stone chamber of nearly ten square meters.
Directly below the stone hole, there was a small mound of earth, on which a slender blue silver grass with golden lines fluttered in the wind.
"Blue Silver Emperor?" The Ice Dragon King's eyes changed slightly.
"Do you know him?" Xuan Ming asked doubtfully.
"Of course I know him. Among all the plant soul beasts, it is a hundred thousand year old soul beast with the most terrifying vitality." said the Ice Dragon King.
"Even those soul beasts that have cultivated for hundreds of thousands of years are not capable of killing it."
"But how come this Blue Silver Emperor..."
"She sacrificed herself." Xuan Ming walked forward and knocked hard on the surrounding stone walls. Suddenly, the mechanism was triggered, and a black box fell from the top of the stone chamber and smashed heavily on the ground.
Xuan Ming walked forward and opened the box. A gentle energy instantly surged out, filling the entire stone chamber. The originally silent Blue Silver Emperor was also stimulated and began to sway.
"Really?" The Ice Dragon King was a little confused.
"How do you know such a thing?"
"I don't want to say." Xuan Ming closed the box and put it into the soul guide.
"Okay." The Ice Dragon King didn't ask any more questions.
After collecting the soul bone, Xuan Ming was about to leave, but looking at the lonely Blue Silver Emperor, he hesitated for a moment, walked back, took out a flower pot, and dug out the Blue Silver Emperor.
"What are you doing?" the Ice Dragon King asked doubtfully.
"Take her back to the Yin-Yang Eyes of Ice and Fire." Xuan Ming said.
"You..." The Ice Dragon King sighed.
"Your kindness is not suitable for this world."
Xuan Ming is essentially a good person, but he is unwilling to admit that he is a good person because he knows that being a good person requires sacrifice. He can barely protect himself, let alone sacrifice for others.
This is also the source of his stubbornness. He is unwilling to let go of his pride and cannot do anything that disgusts himself. He feels that is his bottom line as a human being. If he loses it, he is no longer a human being.
She was glad that Xuan Ming had a reserve that he could not let go of, because she would never trust someone who had no bottom line, but this guy's reserve seemed inappropriate in many cases.
To the world, his reserve is seen as pedantic, inflexible and stupid.
Good people cannot survive in this world.
Being a good person comes at a price.
If this kindness is not stifled, Xuan Ming will pay the price for it sooner or later.
"Everything has two sides. You can't ask a rational and cold-blooded person to be crazy about love. This is a contradiction." Xuan Ming said.
"If you want me to do those things to assess the situation, then you will be the one who is in trouble." If he had no bottom line, he would have just knelt down and acted like a dog to Qian Renxue in Wuhun City, and there would have been no need to go through so much trouble. But he couldn't kneel down.
Everyone has his own way of survival. He will not force those who have no bottom line to say that they should have a bottom line, nor does he want those who have no bottom line to tell him what to do.
…
Tiandou City.
Several months have passed since Xuan Ming disappeared. In the first month, Xue Qinghe was relatively calm, but from the second month, he began to mobilize the intelligence system of the Tiandou Empire and search for Xuan Ming's whereabouts in the Tiandou Empire. Since there was no news for a long time, he asked the people of the Spirit Hall to search for information in the Xingluo Empire.
"Young Master, the Spirit Hall of the Xingluo Empire sent back a message that someone saw a man with a strange figure on the border last month." Snake Spear Douluo said.
"Border?" Xue Qinghe's expression changed.
"where?"
"The border between the Barak Kingdom and the Xing Luo Empire is already within the Xing Luo territory." Snake Spear Douluo said.
Xue Qinghe clenched his fists, "What does the Pope's Palace say?"
Xuan Ming has been missing for several months, and the news has long been passed back to Wuhun City!
"Nothing." Snake Spear Douluo paused.
"According to the information from the Elders' Hall, the Pope took Juegui and Gui to the Xingdou Great Forest to hunt soul beasts. However, when they came back, Juegui was seriously injured and the Pope looked very unhappy. It must not have been smooth."
"I didn't ask about her, I was talking about Xuan Ming." Xue Qinghe said.
"The Pope has no reaction to this matter?"
"There is a reaction, but..." Snake Spear Douluo looked a little unnatural.
"Speak!" Xue Qinghe said with a cold face.
"The Pope said that you can't even keep an eye on a child. You are... too careless." Snake Spear Douluo said guiltily.
"She is laughing at my incompetence!" Xue Qinghe sneered.
"Send a message back to the Elders' Hall and send out two Titled Douluo to bring Xuan Ming back to me. I want him alive or dead!"
"This..." Snake Spear Douluo hesitated.
"Young Master, isn't this too..."
"Do you think I'm mobilizing a large army?" Xue Qinghe said coldly.
"Don't you know what's going on with him? If he ran away, it proves that he still has hatred towards Spirit Hall and me!"
"Why don't we capture him now and wait for him to take revenge on Spirit Hall in the future?"
Snake Spear Douluo nodded, "Young Master is right, then... just kill him?"
"Bring him back first!" Xue Qinghe said coldly.
"I want to hear how he plans to explain. He pretended to be loyal and proud before, saying that he would do what he promised and would not agree to do anything he was unwilling to do. He promised to cooperate with me to complete the plan of the Tiandou Empire. I believed him and helped him, but now he found an opportunity and ran away!"
"Is this what he said he would do?"
"ridiculous!!"
Xue Qinghe clenched his fist and smashed it hard, smashing the stone table in front of him into pieces.
"If I have to kill you, I'll kill you with my own hands!"
"Understood." Snake Spear Douluo didn't dare to say anything more and left quickly.
Xue Qinghe looked gloomily in the direction of the Barak Kingdom, "Xuan Ming..."
If you dare to play tricks on her, you will pay the price!
