The rain on the stone mountain was the rain of attachment. It had been falling for three days in a row. Nie Qianyun stood by the window with a faint smile on his face that was full of wrinkles. It had been seventeen years. It had been seventeen years! Nie Qianyun looked at the fine drizzle and sighed.
" The imperial edict is here." The Chief Eunuch Wei Lingyun held the imperial edict in her hand as she strode forward with long strides. Following closely behind her were 14 imperial court experts. One of them was holding a tall stack of white cloth in his hand, but from his arrogant appearance, one could tell that it was not a good thing.
When the imperial edict arrived, all three hundred and twenty-four people in the General's Estate knelt down respectfully to receive the edict. The ones kneeling at the front were Nie Qianyun and Nie Huaying, who had never shown themselves. Behind them were Nie Yimen and Nie Ning, who had been replacing Nie Qianyun and Nie Huaying for the past few days, and the other three hundred and twenty people. As for the Yuan Ming Mirror and Shattered Ice, they were special envoys from foreign countries, so they didn't need to kneel and bowed.
"Hua Ying, where's your mother?" Nie Qianyun asked gently.
"I don't know. I went to the backyard to take a look.”Nie Huaying said in disappointment.
"It's fine now. Quickly kneel down and receive the decree!”
"Oh!"
"The Dragon King has decreed that Nie Qianyun betrayed the Imperial Stone Mountain in the plan to seal the crystals. He colluded with the members of the Ice Sea Kingdom's underground palace for his ulterior motive. Now that the truth has been found out, I am extremely disappointed. I hereby issue an imperial edict to grant the entire residence 324 white silks to atone for your sins underground!”
What was that? When this news reached Nie Qianyun's ears, it was like a bolt from the blue. For so many years, he had placed his heart on the entire Imperial Ancient Rock Mountain, but why did he get such a result? Nie Qianyun's body was stiff as he knelt there, his eyes glazed over.
"What right does Hua Yukong have to kill my father?!" Nie Huaying was not as gentle as his father. Given his young master's personality, he would never put Dragon King in his eyes. To him, his loving father was the heaven and the earth. No matter how many people in the world opposed his father, he would not let anyone hurt him, not to mention Hua Yukong's death order. Furious, he immediately stood up and shouted," My father is devoted to the country. He has risked his life. Over the years, my father has been the vanguard of all the wars in the border areas. Otherwise, how could a useless little Dragon King sit on his throne for so long?”
"You're right!" A loud shout came from behind the two men. When they looked closely, they saw that it was Nie Yimen, who had been standing in front of the envoy in place of Nie Qianyun. Nie Ning, who had been holding back his anger, stood up with Nie Yimen, his eyes full of anger.
"Are you trying to rebel?" Wei Lingyun asked as she pulled the long-toned Yin-Yang monster away, the smile on her face sinister and perverted. Following Wei Lingyun's strange question, the 17 Heaven Burning Longswords were unsheathed at the same time. The cold light pierced the eyes of the Nie residence's family members with a tearing pain.
"Flower Shadow, the Strange Sect!" Nie Qianyun's deep voice slowly spread. Although Nie Huaying was unwilling, she still kept quiet and stared at the armored warriors with murderous eyes.
"I have nothing to say if the Dragon King wants to kill me, but the 324 family members of the Nie residence are innocent. I hope you can let them live!”Nie Qianyun said indifferently, his face expressionless.
"Father!" Nie Huaying stared at Nie Qianyun with his eyes wide open. He had heard Nie Qianyun recount how Hua Yukong had saved him when he was in trouble. However, he did not expect his father to have such a realization.
" This…" Wei Lingyun continued to drag her voice out proudly." This isn't within the scope of my responsibilities!”
"If the king doesn't agree, I, Nie Qianyun, would rather die than protect my family!”Nie Qianyun's eyes shone with a cold light.
"Yo!" Wei Lingyun's expression didn't change as she continued to answer unhurriedly," It seems that I didn't do anything wrong by bringing the royal guards out this time! Hehehehe!"
It seemed that the situation could not be changed. Nie Qianyun stood up, his body slightly trembling. He had never thought of such a confrontation. His inner demons were much more terrifying than his enemies on the battlefield.
"Royal Guards, get ready!" Wei Lingyun gave the order, and the 17 men of sacrifice unsheathed their swords. The Sky-burning Sword flashed with a piercing white light. Like a bloodthirsty poisonous scorpion, it bared its fangs and brandished its claws as it aimed at the Nie residence.
"Brother!" Shattered Ice didn't know what to do and asked for the Dark Fate Mirror's opinion.
The Yuan Ming Mirror thought that he had received Nie Qianyun's favor, and now was the time to repay it, so he decided to help.
The armored warrior was wearing the Sky Burning Armor, but he was still running as fast as he could. In the blink of an eye, he rushed forward. Nie Qianyun exclaimed,""Quickly protect the servants!" Then, he hurriedly held his sharp weapon and blocked in front of him.
Seeing Nie Qianyun rushing forward, the armored warrior didn't change his expression. He held the Sky-burning Sword tightly with both hands and silently chanted a spell. Countless blade lights and sword shadows immediately shot out from the tip of the Sky-burning Sword. The white-hot sword Qi shot forward, creating fiery grooves on the ground. After the sword Qi, it raised rolling stone fragments. If such a powerful sword qi landed on a cultivator's body, even if he did not die, he would definitely be severely injured.
The weapons clashed in the void, and the sharp sound of soli rang out. For the first time, the unstoppable Sky-burning Sword stopped in its tracks. What flashed out was actually one of the seven great divine weapons in the world--It made a clanging sound. However, to Nie Qianyun's great surprise, the Sky-burning Sword, which could cut through iron like mud, had no effect on the armor. Nie Qianyun then remembered that the armor was called Sky-burning Armor. It was made of the same material as the Sky-burning Sword. Because the material was rare, it had always been used for royal guards, so it was unknown. The armored warrior didn't slow down at all. While Nie Qianyun was thinking, he turned his Sky-burning Sword over and slashed horizontally. Although Nie Qianyun had been on the battlefield for a long time, it was still very difficult for him to deal with these first-class masters. In a short while, he was in a difficult battle.
Nie Qianyun was fighting three enemies at the same time, and the remaining 14 armored warriors clearly showed their advantage. In the Nie residence, only Nie Huaying, Nie Yimen, and Nie Ning were slightly stronger, but they were not strong enough. Nie Yimen was soon forced to use the fourth level of magic manipulation--The sound of " bang " was loud and powerful. The dazzling light engulfed the entire General's Mansion. However, before the white light dissipated, the three of them felt a gust of cold wind behind them. They quickly turned around to meet the attack. It seemed that the attack just now did not cause much damage to the other party. The Sky Burning Armor was really hard. Even the crack of the God Slaying could not do anything to it.
However, as Nie Qianyun's child, Nie Huaying was like a tiger father, like a dog son. When it came to offensive techniques, there was naturally something special about him. Nie Huaying had developed her spiritual energy in the Sacred Spirit Hall since she was young. Coupled with her innate divine strength, she had a proud achievement in terms of strength. When she was young, she had fought with her father to kill enemies. She had once single-handedly cut off the neck of an ancient creature, the Barbaric Divine Ox. One could imagine how powerful she was. Nie Huaying thought of this and constantly gathered her strength as she fought. The air was clear between her palms as she faced the Sky-burning Sword of the armored warrior head-on. The armored warrior was not only well-equipped, but also had outstanding means of suppressing the enemy. In the air, the sword shadow was blurred and fast as the wind. In just a few seconds, she used dozens of attacks such as cutting, chopping, lashing, and stabbing. Nie Huaying relied on her father's Absolute Domain arm to receive the attacks one by one. She had a slight advantage, but she could not free herself to take care of her servants for the time being. The situation was in a stalemate. It was difficult to escape for the time being…
Nie Qianyun was the grand general of the Ancient Stone Mountain, after all, so his mana was unfathomable. He faced the attack with one hand and finally chanted a spell. In an instant, he summoned a purple-black magic array. Three rings of light surrounded the three armored warriors. Nie Qianyun withdrew his palm and crossed it in front of his chest. Then, he quickly cut forward. Three waves of sharp magic wind elements flashed by. Before the three armored warriors could react, their armor had been cut into pieces by the elements. This must be the seventh stage of magic, Yuan Meteor Stone Cracking. Rumor had it that the Great General Nie of the Ancient Rock Mountain had already reached the seventh stage of magic cultivation. Now, it seemed that his attainments in magic cultivation had long surpassed everyone's imagination.
"Ah!" Just as Nie Qianyun was about to attack, a scream came from behind him. Nie Qianyun turned around and saw the scene of the servants of the Nie residence splattering blood in the sky. Nie Huaying and the other two were unable to fight against four hands. They were always fated to have the help of the Mingjing siblings. They only had a slight advantage on the basis of self-protection. Wei Lingyun took this opportunity to call the Imperial Army hidden outside the residence to kill them. The 320 old and weak people in the Nie residence were powerless and could only be killed by the cold weapons. The incomparably glorious General Manor was suddenly enveloped in cries and screams.
"No!" Nie Qianyun shouted at the top of his lungs. These were his servants who had followed him for more than forty years. When the disaster came, he could only watch them get hurt but could not save them. How miserable and resentful was this? So he shouted to the sky,"Ah!" However, the slaughter continued. No one paid attention to his screams. Just as he sighed, the three armored warriors who were forced into a corner took the opportunity to stand up and rushed forward with the Fentian Sword in their hands. The Fentian Sword pierced into his chest, and blood spurted out. Nie Qianyun fell to the ground. Nie Huaying, who was fighting to the death with the enemy, saw that her father was injured. She was about to rush over, but she was blocked by an armored warrior with a sword. She was furious and activated her infinite potential. She grabbed the warrior in front of her and threw him out of the General's residence. Nie Huaying could not care less about this. She hurriedly ran to her father and helped him up. She asked with concern and anxiety,"Father, you…"
Nie Qianyun was injured. Nie Yimen and Nie Ning, who were busy fighting, and Yuan Ming Mirror and Yuan Suibing, who had risked their lives to help, also rushed over. In the desperate situation, Yuan Ming Mirror had no choice but to absorb a part of the flying elements of Qing Ming. Then, with the comprehension of the eighth level of magic in the past three days, he fused it with himself and summoned a huge magic ball with all his strength, enveloping them inside. As he waved his staff, the ball of light carried their bodies and flew up. Armored warriors could not fly in the air. They could only follow the direction they were flying in and chase after them.
A flying ball of light and a group of armored warriors who were like mad dogs chasing after them was a bit ridiculous. The people of Yonghua Street would never forget that there was once a group of people who had hurt the general who protected the country and brazenly chased after the hero in people's hearts on the street. They wanted to kill him. People's resentment burst out and they risked their lives to block Yonghua Street, allowing others to kill them all. The bustling Yong Hua Street suddenly turned into a bloody city.
"Father, father, what's wrong?" Nie Huaying, who had recovered from her anger, fell into endless sorrow again. Crystal tears tore out of her eyes. Who knew that a man would not shed tears easily? She did not know that it was just that she had not yet reached the point of sadness. For the past 17 years, she had been patiently guiding and caring for him. How could two lines of tears describe it? What was unreasonable was that her father had devoted himself to the great cause of governing the country, but he had fallen at the feet of his own people halfway through. The grand ambition of the past, the pure heart of repaying kindness. But at this moment, it turned into a dark red liquid that was gurgling in his chest. Why did he not get anything in return after giving so much? Why, why! Endless resentment and anger rushed into Nie Huaying's brain, piercing his nerves. This feeling was indescribable, and it was worse than falling into hell.
" Hua Ying, cough cough." Nie Qianyun, who was seriously injured, was so angry that he coughed out blood.
"Father!" Nie Huaying quickly hugged Nie Qianyun tightly, her hurt emotions bursting out.
Nie Qianyun said with a faint smile,""Flower Shadow, don't be sad…Father is fine.”Although Nie Qianyun said that, blood still flowed out of his chest.
"Father, don't say anything. I'll go find a doctor for you. You'll definitely be fine!”Nie Huaying held back her tears and shouted,"Brother Mingjing, hurry up and get a doctor for my father!" Please!"
" This..." Yuan Suibing hesitated. They had just escaped from the demonic claws. If they were to descend now, it would be difficult to escape if they caught up.
The Yuan Ming Mirror looked at Nie Qianyun's injuries and then looked at the village below. This place was covered in mountains and forests, and the terrain was remote. It was indeed a good place to hide. When he landed, it would be convenient for him to treat Nie Qianyun's injuries. Therefore, he calmly agreed,"Yes, we'll settle down below!”--
