"Have you found it?" There was a small boat on the boundless sea, carrying two muscular and tall men.
One of the men was wearing a Miao costume with colorful tattoos on his face. He roared at the sea.
Not long after the man's voice rang out, another Miao man suddenly jumped out of the water. He stroked his face with both hands and shook the seawater off his head. He replied to the man on the boat,"I didn't find it, big brother Shi Hu."
"No?" The man named Shi Hu's face darkened when he heard the underwater man's reply. He slowly sat down on the boat and said,""Come on up, Ishida."
The man named Ishida climbed onto the boat and sat beside Shi Hu. The two of them looked gloomy as if they had something important on their minds.
"Quartz and the chief have been missing for seven days and seven nights.”Shi Hu sighed and said anxiously,"Where would they go?"
"Big brother Shi Hu, don't be anxious. The chief's martial arts are strong, he will definitely be fine with Quartz.”Ishida consoled.
"The weather on the sea is unpredictable. No matter how good my martial arts are, I still…"
Before Shi Hu could finish, a panicked voice interrupted him.
"Hey, look, there seem to be two people over there.”The man rowing the boat saw two figures in the water. It seemed to be a man and a woman, so he hurriedly turned his head and shouted at Shi Hu and Ishida.
"Hurry!" Shi Hu suddenly stood up and said to Ishida,"Get into the water and save them!"
Splash! Shihu and Ishida jumped into the sea and swam towards the two figures.
Han Tian's tightly shut eyes slowly opened. A bright light shone into his eyes, followed by a faint pain.
His consciousness gradually turned from darkness to light, and Han Tian's consciousness slowly recovered.
Han Tian raised his hands and looked at them carefully. There was no thought in his hazy mind, just like a piece of white paper that had not been outlined.
" I'm…" The corner of Han Tian's mouth twitched slightly, and his tone was very weak. At this moment, he recalled a vague memory fragment."Where am I?"
As soon as he finished speaking, a powerful force burst out from Han Tian's heart. He sat up abruptly and remembered everything. Only then did he see his surroundings clearly.
It was a house with two wide windows. The light from the outside illuminated the entire house. From the color of the light, it was not difficult to tell that it was dusk.
The room was empty, except for a bed made of wood that wasn't very wide. He could vaguely hear the sound of people walking outside the room.
Ring ring ring…
With the crisp sound of a bell, the tightly shut wooden door was pushed open, and a beautiful Miao woman with a smile on her face entered.
This woman was wearing the clothes that Miao women often wore. The clothes were colorful and beautiful. On her head was a white silver crown with a bell. When the woman stopped, it was still shaking non-stop, colliding with each other and emitting a clear sound. It seemed that this woman was in her twenties, similar to Shao Si Ming.
She was holding a wooden basin filled with clear water. There was a white cloth hanging from the edge of the basin.
Seeing that Han Tian had woken up, the smile on the girl's face did not disappear. Instead, she took light steps and arrived at the bed where Han Tian was in a breath's time.
"You're awake?" The girl smiled kindly and narrowed her eyes, revealing a mouthful of snow-white teeth. It made people feel warm in their hearts after seeing it, as if they were in a peach garden in spring.
"Thank you for saving my life, miss. I'm fine now.”Han Tian cupped his fists at the woman and thanked her.
"Your name is Han?" The woman didn't seem to understand Han Tian's address. Instead, she asked curiously,""What a strange name."
Han Tian's expression changed and he looked a little embarrassed.
"My name is Shi Yuan. Everyone here calls me Little Sister Yuan.”The woman named Shi Yuan was not shy at all. She was extroverted and very lively. She always had a smile on her face when she spoke.
"I wonder if Young Lady knows the woman who was with me?”The first person that came to Han Tian's mind was Young Master Si Ming. He was in a hurry, so he looked anxious when he asked, fearing that something would happen to Young Master Si Ming.
"It's her." Shi Yuan put down the wooden basin in her hand and continued,"Is that girl called Shao Siming?”
"Yes." "Where is she?" Han Tian nodded and asked.”
"She's been clamoring to see you the moment she woke up. She's outside the door now.”Shi Yuan complained.
After Han Tian heard this, he hurriedly got out of bed and said to Shi Yuan in a panic,"Thank you for informing me, miss. I will go out and look for her now.”
"Sigh." Shi Yuan looked at Han Tian, who wanted to see Shao Si Ming, and murmured,""Isn't it just meeting someone? Look at how anxious you are."
Han Tian did not hear Shi Yuan's words and hurriedly walked out of the door.
As soon as he stepped out of the door, Han Tian was greeted by an extremely beautiful scene. Han Tian was instantly shocked by everything in front of him. This kind of shock was only felt when Han Tian saw Heartbreak Cliff. Now, he had this kind of feeling again.
The mountains and rivers were beautiful and extraordinary. The waterfall in front of him towered into the clouds. It was just opposite him. Although it was far away, he could still hear the sound of water hitting the rocks and the sound of torrents splashing. In front of the waterfall, there were white cranes flying around. Under the colorful rainbow, it was like a fairyland.
On the right side of the waterfall was the ocean. Waves surged and waves rose. There were also petrels circling in the sky, letting out low roars.
Shao Si Ming was standing on the edge of the cliff less than ten meters away from Han Tian, quietly looking into the distance, as if she was entranced by the beautiful scenery. She didn't even know that Han Tian was standing behind her.
Han Tian's eyes widened as he slowly walked forward. He kept looking at the beautiful scenery in front of him, afraid that he would miss this heaven-like scenery.
Shao Si Ming seemed to have heard Han Tian's footsteps. She slowly turned her head around, and the indifferent look on her face disappeared immediately. It turned into a beautiful smile, which looked as charming as a fairy under the setting sun.
What was different was that Shao Siming's veil was gone, and her smile looked even more beautiful.
Shao Si Ming's smile warmed Han Tian's heart, and a knowing smile appeared on his face.
Their eyes met and they were silent for a moment.
"We are finally saved." Shaosi Ming looked at Han Tian, unable to hide her excitement.
"Yes, I am." Han Tian walked to Shao Siming's side, looked at the beautiful scene in the distance, and said with emotion,""Reborn after a calamity, and I even saw such a beautiful scene!”
"This place is really beautiful." Shao Si Ming followed Han Tian's gaze and looked into the distance.
This was Mount Shu, the beautiful and magical Mount Shu.
The green mountains in the sea formed a small continent, like an oasis in a desert or a nebula in a brilliant galaxy.
On the land, there were two mountain peaks that were the most eye-catching. These two mountain peaks towered into the clouds and stood out in the vast sea, as if they were huge pillars that supported the sky.
Han Tian and Shao Si Ming were on the mountainside of one of the mountains, while the waterfall on the opposite side flowed down from the top of the other mountain.
There was a cliff under their feet, and there were many houses of different sizes at the bottom of the cliff, forming a beautiful village.
Half of the setting sun was revealed on the sea surface. The afterglow sprinkled on the water surface and refracted back, adding another exquisite touch to this charming and beautiful scenery.
"Ahem." A rough voice sounded behind Han Tian and Shao Si Ming, breaking their mood of enjoying the beautiful scenery.
Han Tian turned around and saw a muscular Miao man leaning against the wall of the house with his arms crossed, looking at him.
At this moment, Shi Yuan walked over and introduced with a smile,"He is my big brother, Shi Hu. He was the one who saved you.”
After Han Tian heard this, he hurriedly walked toward Shi Hu and cupped his fists to thank him."Thank you for saving my life. I will definitely…"
"There's no need to say anymore nonsense." Shi Hu's expression did not look too good. He looked a little angry.
He stood up, walked to Han Tian, and said indifferently,""Sage Nun wants to see you. Come with me.”
After saying that, Shi Hu left Han Tian behind and walked to the back of the house alone.
Han Tian glanced at Shao Siming, worried about her. When Shi Yuan saw this, he walked over with a smile and said to Han Tian,""I'll accompany this sister. You go with my brother.”
Seeing that Shi Yuan was a pure and kind girl without any malicious intent, Han Tian was relieved. He winked at Shao Si Ming, telling her to be at ease.
Shao Si Ming also nodded slightly, telling Han Tian to go to see the Sage Nun with Shi Hu.
This scene was seen by Shi Yuan, so she suddenly jumped into their line of sight and said mischievously,"Don't make faces at this time. If you're any later, you won't be able to keep up with my big brother.”
"Got it." Han Tian hurriedly took a step forward and left with Shi Hu.
After Han Tian left, Shi Yuan turned around and looked at Shao Si Ming, asking with a wicked smile,""Is he your man?"
Hearing that, Shaosi Ming blushed and quickly turned away, not looking at Shi Yuan anymore.
However, Shi Yuan suddenly appeared in front of Shao Si Ming and said with a smile,""I'm shy."
Shaosi Ming's face turned red after hearing that. She hurriedly turned her head away and tried to avoid Shi Yuan.
"I won't tease you anymore." Shi Yuan's laughter was as clear as a silver bell, resounding throughout the entire mountainside.
She came to the edge of the cliff, stretched her body, looked at her hometown, and asked Shao Si Ming,""How is it? Isn't it beautiful?”
Shaosi Ming timidly turned around, looked at the beautiful scenery in the distance, nodded and responded,""It is very beautiful."
Shi Yuan did not say anything else. She looked at the waterfall and the setting sun in the distance with a satisfied expression. Shaosi Ming also started to look at them with infatuation.
Just as the two of them were silent, a huge figure slowly emerged from the sea and entered the sight of Shi Yuan and Shao Si Ming.
This huge black object blocked the red light of the setting sun, bringing a huge and terrifying shadow to the village at the bottom of the cliff.
" This is…" Shi Yuan's pupils constricted, and a sense of fear that she had never felt before surged in her heart.
"Boom!" Shaosi Ming's body trembled slightly, and his voice trembled. Apparently, he was frightened by the sudden arrival of this giant creature.
When the villagers at the bottom of the cliff saw it, they regarded it as a " monster." They hurriedly dropped their work and hid at home, not daring to go out.
Night came. The darkness of Mount Shu followed!
Han Tian followed Shi Hu under the moonlight and thought,""Shi Hu and Shi Mu are both local residents, so they shouldn't make things difficult for us. If they really wanted to harm us, they would have had a chance when we were unconscious, but they didn't, so they must be friendly.”
Thinking of this, Han Tian could not help but heave a sigh of relief, and his tightly clenched hands suddenly loosened. At this moment, he suddenly realized that the waning moon had disappeared!
"Your sword is with the Sage Nun. This is also the reason why she wants to see you.”Shi Hu walked in front and looked back at Han Tian.
After Han Tian heard this, some questions welled up in his heart."Who is the Sage Nun? And why does she want my sword?"
"We're here." After a moment, Shi Hu stopped moving forward and said to Han Tian behind him.
"We're here?" Han Tian was very surprised because what they saw was not a building or a palace, but a series of stairs that seemed endless.
" This is…" Han Tian looked at the stone tablet at the beginning of the stairs. He saw the words 'Mount Shu' written on it.
"This is the only path to the Mount Shu Holy Temple.”Shi Hu looked at the stairs in front of him and said indifferently.
"The Heavenly Stone Staircase has a total of 999 steps and leads directly to the top of Mount Shu. This is the path that you and I must take to reach the place we are going.”Shi Hu turned his head and looked at Han Tian. He felt that Han Tian's body was a little thin and weak. He asked disdainfully,"Can you hold on?"
Han Tian walked to the front of the stone steps and asked Shi Hu,""Climb up?"
" Yes." Shi Hu nodded.
Han Tian pinched his chin and thought,""This man named Shi Hu seems to have underestimated me. Forget it, it's not good to show off in front of him.”
"I'm afraid this will be a little strenuous." Han Tian looked at Shi Hu and said indifferently.
"Sigh." Shi Hu had a look of disdain, but he also looked a little proud."You Central Plainsmen are just too weak.”
After saying that, Shi Hu rushed up the stone stairs to the sky. He took three steps at a time and rushed forward without looking back.
A moment later, Shi Hu's tall and mighty figure disappeared from Han Tian's sight.
Han Tian shook his head and said helplessly,""Do the people of Mount Shu look down on us Central Plainsmen?”
With a wave of his sleeve, Han Tian took a step forward and appeared on the 30th step in an instant. He took another step and appeared on the 60th step again. As if he was shrinking the ground, he walked up the mountain.
He followed closely behind Shi Hu. The scenery on both sides quickly swept past. After an unknown period of time, they passed through the dense stairs and arrived in front of a platform.
Shi Hu bent down and panted heavily. He did not realize that Han Tian was already behind him.
So he stood up and turned around. He was prepared to see Han Tian's disheveled appearance before he even reached the top of the mountain, but Han Tian's face was not red. He stood behind him without panting, and he did not alarm him at all. This made Shi Hu unable to help but be surprised.
"Good boy, your strength is so deep, but you didn't leak it at all.”After Shi Hu saw Han Tian, he was surprised and thought to himself.
Han Tian glanced at Shi Hu, nodded, and smiled. Then, he walked around Shi Hu and saw the gorgeous temple on the platform.
It was a squarish, standard palace-style building. The surroundings were made of giant trees and painted with a thick layer of purple paint. It looked especially mysterious under the moonlight.
Although it was not as spectacular as the Forbidden City or Xianyang Hall, it was still simple and grand.
"Come with me." Shi Hu rested for a short while. His inner breath had already become even, so he led Han Tian into this sacred hall.
As soon as he entered the temple, Han Tian saw the situation inside. A woman in white stood in the middle of the hall. On both sides of the hall stood two rows of people. One row was of women, and the other was of men.
The woman in the middle of the hall was different from the other Miao women. She was wearing white silk. Her figure was graceful, and her skin was as fair as the white silk on her body.
She was holding Han Tian's Waning Moon! Under the moonlight, the golden crescent moon shone like a powerful divine artifact.
Han Tian saw his waning moon at a glance. He could not help but clench his fists tightly and take a step forward. He had a strange impulse.
Shi Hu stepped forward and respectfully said to the woman in white,"Sage Nun, the Dragon Lord is here."
"Dragon Lord?" Han Tian was very puzzled and thought to himself,""Are you talking about yourself?"
"The Dragon Lord has finally arrived." The Sage Nun held the waning moon and glanced at Han Tian.
"What are they doing?" Han Tian's brows tightened. He raised his Inner Breath and prepared to defend at any moment.
"You don't have to be nervous." The Sage Nun walked over and said to Han Tian,""We call the person who owns this sword the Dragon Lord.”
The Sage Nun turned around again, and Waning Moon, who was just inches away from Han Tian, was taken away.
Han Tian was very anxious. Seeing his weapon but not being able to take it was really a form of torture.
"Where did you get this sword?”The Sage Nun asked.
"This sword was given to me by my master.”Han Tian looked at the Sage Nun with a serious expression.
"Oh? Master? Are you a disciple of Phantom Valley?" The Sage Nun's brows tightened, and a faint killing intent leaked out.
"Yes." Han Tian replied straightforwardly.
"Two hundred years ago, the Ghost Valley Holy Sect took this sword from me. Two hundred years later, his disciples returned it.”The Sage Nun sneered.
"What?! This woman has lived for 200 years!" Han Tian's expression instantly froze. Other than shock, he was also shocked!
"Don't be surprised." The Sage Nun turned her head and her face darkened as if she understood Han Tian's thoughts.""I once drank a mouthful of holy water, so I can naturally live for a hundred years.”
"Holy water?" Han Tian thought to himself, It seems that Miss Rong needs this holy water to wake up.”
"Let the ritual begin." The Sage Nun pointed at Han Tian with her left hand, and her eyes flashed.
"What…what do you want?”Han Tian asked intermittently.
"The Dragon Lord has two fates." The Sage Nun's words became sinister. She looked at Han Tian and said coldly,""The True Dragon Lord will become our savior and the fake Dragon Lord will be executed!”
"What?! Executed!" Han Tian's heart trembled and he hurriedly took two steps back.
"Old Dragon, Binding!"
Just as Han Tian was in shock, the Sage Nun let out a low roar. A golden dragon suddenly rushed out of the Waning Moon Sword and wrapped around Han Tian's body at lightning speed.
Han Tian's pupils constricted, and he was unable to move before he could hide.
The Sage Nun raised the waning moon and mercilessly stabbed it straight into Han Tian's chest.
Han Tian felt his chest tremble, and he felt a numbness as if he had lost consciousness.
The Sage Nun's expression slowly changed when the sword was halfway into Han Tian's chest.
The waning moon slowly turned into specks of golden light and burrowed into Han Tian's body. The golden dragon around Han Tian's body also slowly faded away, turning into a golden internal force that attached itself to Han Tian's body as if it had activated the Golden Immortal Body.
Han Tian felt very comfortable. He felt a warm current flowing through his body, nourishing his entire body. Moreover, his cultivation seemed to have increased by quite a bit. His inner breath was sufficient, and his true essence was full.
"True…True…True Dragon Lord." Shi Hu widened his eyes and looked at Han Tian in shock.
"Greetings, Dragon Lord." The Sage Nun hurriedly took two steps back and knelt down.
Shi Hu hurriedly knelt down and paid his respects to the god-like Han Tian.
"Greetings, Dragon Lord." The Miao men and women around the hall also knelt down and kowtowed to Han Tian.
Only then did Han Tian react. He looked around and felt that everything was floating like a dream.
Everyone in the hall knelt down and kowtowed to Han Tian as if they were worshipping the emperor.
Looking at the people kneeling around him, Han Tian was at a loss. However, he could not let them continue kneeling like this.
Thus, Han Tian quickly walked over to support the Sage Nun and hurriedly said,""Get up, get up, what are you doing?”
With Han Tian's help, the Sage Nun slowly stood up. Seeing this, the surrounding Miao men and women also stood up.
Han Tian was still confused about what had just happened.
The waning moon had clearly pierced into his chest, but not only did he not die, but his strength had also increased greatly. Why was this? Why did the people in the hall give him such a big bow?
"Dragon Lord, there's no need to be surprised." The Sage Nun saw through Han Tian's thoughts and said.
"Can you tell me what's going on?”Han Tian looked at the Sage Nun in confusion.
"A thousand years ago, the Divine Emperor came to the mortal world and gave Mount Shu two important missions. The clan leader is responsible for guarding the Mirror Flower Realm under the suppression of the Seven Constellations of the Azure Dragon, and I'm responsible for finding the Dragon Lord.”
Although Han Tian didn't understand a single word the Sage Nun said, he still looked at her seriously, afraid that he didn't hear a single word.
"And you are the Dragon Lord we are looking for.”
"Me?" Han Tian was confused.
At this point, the Sage Nun's face was gloomy. She slowly walked to the entrance of the hall and looked at the bright moon outside."Seven days ago, the patriarch and a man called Quartz from Mount Shu went out to the sea to investigate the Mirror Flower Realm, but they never returned it. "I sent Shi Hu and a few other men to search, and they found the Dragon Lord and that woman.”
"What is the Mirror Flower Realm?" Han Tian was even more confused when he heard these words, so he asked the Sage Nun.
"I'm not too sure about all of this. The one in charge of this mission is the clan leader, not me.”
"Now that the patriarch is missing, it will be even more difficult to find out.”Han Tian lowered his head, feeling a little disappointed. Suddenly, a thought flashed through his mind. He hurriedly raised his head and asked the Sage Nun,""Mount Shu should still have a clone, right?”
The Sage Nun turned around with a gloomy expression and said,""That clone is beside the chief.”
"What?!" Han Tian's hope was instantly shattered. He said in a disappointed tone,""In this way, if we want to gather the Seven Constellations of the Azure Dragon, we must find the patriarch. But now, the patriarch is missing.”
"The Divine Emperor instructed us to let the Dragon Lord drink the holy water when the seven stars pass through the moon. At that time, we will naturally know everything. Now, the Seven Stars Penetrating the Moon would be in three days.”The Sage Nun counted with her fingers and said with certainty.
"Three days later will be the tenth anniversary of my arrival in the Qin Dynasty. Could it be that all of this was arranged by the mysterious person?”Han Tian calmed down and thought calmly.
"By the way, where's Waning Moon? The waning moon disappeared after piercing my chest. Where did it go?”Han Tian looked at his own hands in disbelief. Now that he recalled the scene just now, he still felt that it was very dangerous.
"This waning moon was originally called the Old Dragon and is now in your body.”
"Oh? My body?" Han Tian looked at his chest. Under the cover of the brilliant golden internal strength, there was no wound at all, nor did he feel any pain.
Seeing Han Tian's surprised expression, the Sage Nun walked over and continued,""The current Old Dragon has already collected seven dragon body clones and recalled six dragon souls. Its strength has already reached one-tenth of the Divine Sword Old Dragon. When you want to use the Old Dragon, you only need to draw a Dragon Summoning Spell in the air.”
"Dragon Summoning Curse?"
The Sage Nun slowly moved her right hand, and her fingertips slowly swept across the air, leaving behind purple marks that formed a special pattern that was deeply imprinted in Han Tian's mind.
"This is the Dragon Summoning Spell." The Sage Nun said to Han Tian.
"I'll remember it." The pattern was very complicated, but it was extremely familiar to Han Tian, as if he had seen it before.
Han Tian slowly moved his hands and began to draw the Dragon Summoning Spell. While he was paddling, scenes of the Old Dragon's combat power and special usage flashed before his eyes. These were things that Han Tian had never known, but when he used the Dragon Summoning Spell, they all naturally appeared in Han Tian's mind.
"How magical." Han Tian's fingertips streaked across the air, leaving behind golden marks. Just as he was about to finish writing, an unfamiliar male voice suddenly interrupted Han Tian.
"Lady Sage Nun! Lady Sage Nun!" A burly man ran in from outside the door. He panted and bowed, saying to the Sage Nun,""The Emperor of the Central Plains, Ying Zheng, has led his army here to ask for the holy water. He even said that if Mount Shu did not hand over the holy water by tomorrow morning, he would send out the Golden Fire Cavalry to massacre Mount Shu.”
"The holy water is for the True Dragon Lord. How can these mortals enjoy it!”The Sage Nun's face was filled with anger as she cursed,""What a bunch of fools!”
"Since Ying Zheng is already here, that means the Yin-Yang School must be here as well. It's time to settle this score." " Leave these people to me." Han Tian said to the Sage Nun." You should quickly evacuate the Shu Mountain residents."”
"Ying Zheng must have made ample preparations for this trip. With your current mortal body and strength, how can you block an army of ten million?”The Sage Nun asked worriedly.
"Mortals?" Han Tian smiled and walked forward.""A mortal body is still not to be underestimated!”
"That's good. You have the protection of the Old Dragon now, so mortals can't kill you. Moreover, if he could not withstand it, he could use the sword control technique.”the Sage Nun instructed.
"Sword control technique?" Han Tian turned around and asked the Sage Nun,""Is it the spell that appeared in front of me when I used the Dragon Summoning Spell just now?”
"That's right."
"Got it." Han Tian replied indifferently.
"Shi Hu, quickly organize the villagers and move them to the back mountain.”The Sage Nun hurriedly said to Shi Hu.
"Yes." Shi Hu bowed and hurriedly retreated.
"Then I'll be leaving too." Han Tian greeted the Sage Nun and walked out of the hall.
**********************************************************
At the foot of the mountain, countless torches formed a boundless giant fire dragon, illuminating the entire world. The villagers were climbing up the stairs on the mountainside to the peak.
There was a secret passage at the top of the temple. This secret passage led directly to the back of the mountain and was an important place for the transfer.
This was a move to avoid the Qin soldiers. Under the gaze of the tall figure, it was slowly moving.
Strangely, not a single soldier came down. They were discussing how to conquer Mount Shu, which had a complicated terrain, and how to get the holy water that Ying Zheng had been dreaming of.
The largest palace was brightly lit and crowded with people.
"Your Majesty, the residents of Mount Shu are moving quickly. Should we stop them?”Meng Yi kneeled on one knee before the palace, cupped his fist and asked Ying Zheng, who stood high and mighty.
"There's no need. It's just a last-ditch struggle.”Ying Zheng did not care about Mount Shu's relocation at all.""When the sun rises, I will send out the Golden Fire Cavalry. If Mount Shu had obediently handed over the holy water, it would have been fine. But if you resist, I will definitely flatten Mount Shu!”
Ying Zheng's voice was so domineering that it reverberated throughout the entire hall. Everyone's ears were buzzing, and they could not calm down for a long time.
His Highness 'Cloud Sovereign pinched his chin with his left hand and closed his eyes tightly, plotting his own wishful thinking.
A huge conspiracy was gradually taking shape, and it would come along with the dawn.
On the Azure Dragon Peak, the snow maidens looked at the green mountains that were visible above the sea level in the distance, feeling uneasy.
Ye Wang slowly walked behind the snow maiden. His beard and sleeves fluttered in the wind, giving him the air of an immortal.
"Ye qian bei, my daughter has long heard that the daoists are not only proficient in array techniques, but also have a divination technique that has been passed down for generations called red dust divination, right?”The snow maiden turned around and asked Ye Wang.
"Not bad." Ye Wang stroked his beard with one hand and placed the other behind his back. He said to the snow maiden,""I do know how to use this divination technique.”
"Then I'll have to trouble Senior Ye to help me divine.”The snow maiden's face darkened, and a hint of sorrow could be seen on her face.
"Miss Snow Maiden, you're doing this for Mr Han, right?”Ye Wang was right.
"So Ye qian bei already knew." the snow maiden said calmly as she turned her gaze toward the distant ocean.
"Miss Snow Maiden is infatuated with Mr Han, and I'm afraid everyone on the island knows about it.”Ye Wang said.
"So what if they know?" The snow maiden turned her face away with an indescribable pain."But he doesn't know."
"Actually, this old man has already divined for you and Mr Han.”Ye Wang looked at the snow maiden, his face darkening.
"Oh? What was the result? Ye qian bei, feel free to speak." the snow maiden asked anxiously.
"Then I will tell you." Ye Wang shifted his steps and said seriously,""You and Mr Han…are not fated!”
Hearing this answer, the snow maiden's heart trembled slightly, but she wasn't sad, as if she already knew what Ye Wang was going to say.
"Even if he doesn't love me, I will always care for him.”After pondering for a moment, the snow maiden's red lips moved slightly as she spoke indifferently.
"If you love, then don't love." Ye Wang stroked his beard and walked to the edge of the Green Dragon. Looking at the boundless sea in the distance, his eyes focused and he casually chanted,""Don't say that love will eventually become a companion, write down the fate of three lifetimes.”
**********************************************************
Gazing at the long migrating fire dragon, Shao Si Ming quietly stood outside the wooden house on the mountainside, waiting for Han Tian's return.
"The residents at the foot of the mountain have already gone up the mountain.”Shi Yuan stood at the side, the usual smile on her face turning into distress and unease."Aren't you going with everyone?"
"No." Shaosi Ming looked at Gui who was far away and said blandly,""I want to wait for him to come back."
"Forget it." "I'm waiting for my big brother anyway, so I'll go with you." Shi Yuan complained.”
At this moment, Han Tian appeared at the side and looked at the residents who were moving. He sighed in his heart."As long as Ying Zheng is driven away, these residents will be able to come back. Otherwise, with the army pressing down, the people would probably be in dire straits again.”
Hearing Han Tian's voice, Shao Siming hurriedly turned around.
The two of them looked at each other again. Their eyes were deep, as if they had not seen each other for a thousand years.
"You're back. Where's my brother?" Shi Yuan asked when she saw Han Tian alone.
"He's organizing the evacuation of the people.”Han Tian slowly walked over and continued,""He told you not to wait for him and to leave with the main group.”
"Got it." After Shi Yuan heard this, he was about to leave, but he stopped. He turned around and asked curiously,"Aren't you guys leaving?"
" We still have things to do," Han Tian replied with a smile." We can't move with you."”
"Oh." Shi Yuan nodded thoughtfully.
"Go quickly. If you're slow, you won't be able to make it.”Han Tian looked at Shi Yuan and instructed.
"I know." Shi Yuan turned around and left with the residents.
"What did they do to you?" Seeing Shi Yuan leave, Shao Si Ming asked Han Tian.
"They said that I'm... some Dragon Lord. They even said a lot of things that I don't quite understand.”Han Tian scratched his head helplessly.
"Where's Waning Moon?" Shao Siming looked around at Han Tian and found that Waning Moon was missing.
"Waning Moon." Han Tian's expression changed when he heard Waning Moon. He said excitedly,"They came to me and taught me a lot of special ways to use the waning moon.”
"Oh? Special usage?" Shaosi Ming was also confused.
"Let's not talk about this for now. What I'm most worried about is that since Jiao has already arrived, Ying Zheng will definitely send out a large number of troops to destroy this paradise. I'm going to stop him. Do you want to come with me?”Han Tian looked at Gui who was standing far away and asked Shao Si Ming.
"Yes, I want to go with you." Shaosi Ming nodded, her eyes full of determination.
"Heh." Seeing Shao Si Ming's decision, Han Tian smiled and walked straight to Shao Si Ming,""Come with me."
Han Tian grabbed Shao Si Ming, glanced at her, then turned his head to look at the cliff. Seeing this, Shao Si Ming was confused, not knowing what Han Tian was going to do.
At this moment, Han Tian jumped up and pulled Shao Si Ming down the deep cliff.
Before Shaosi Ming could react, the two of them had already descended rapidly.
While they were falling, Han Tian held Shaosi Ming's hand tightly and asked,""Are you scared?"
Shao Siming glanced at Han Tian and felt that as long as Han Tian was here, he would be safe, so he said straightforwardly,""I'm not afraid."
Hearing Shao Si Ming's words, Han Tian turned his head and shouted,""Imperial Dragon in the Sky!"
As soon as he finished speaking, a golden dragon leaped out of Han Tian's body and circled around the two of them a few times before coming to their feet.
Han Tian pulled Shao Si Ming and landed on the back of the giant dragon. They were safe and sound.
With a whoosh, the giant dragon dispersed like a cherry blossom, and a giant waning moon was gradually revealed.
Shaosi Ming was surprised. She opened her eyes wide and looked at the giant crescent moon under her feet. Feeling the warmth coming from under her feet, she turned to Han Tian in surprise.
Han Tian smiled and explained," Waning Moon's original name is Cang Long. It's not an item from the mortal world. It has a unique spirituality. This is its special usage."”
After hearing Han Tian's explanation, Shao Siming was still surprised, with a look of disbelief on his face.
The two of them stood on their swords and charged toward the distant Pi.
The golden sword cut through the darkness and welcomed the light of dawn.
Dawn had broken, and the pale blue sky was still inlaid with a few scattered stars. The gorgeous morning glow dyed half of the sky red, stretching the shadow of the bird even longer and wider.
A huge wooden plank gradually stretched out from the side of the Pi and extended toward the shore.
It was already morning. According to Ying Zheng's decree, if Mount Shu had not handed over the holy water by now, he would send out the Golden Fire Cavalry to massacre Mount Shu and use violence to obtain the holy water.
With a thud, the wooden plank landed on the shore with a muffled thud.
Soon after, the neighing of military horses came from the top of the wooden planks. A group of Qin soldiers clad in golden armor and holding silver spears and sharp swords rode over the huge wooden planks and rushed to the shore.
About 10,000 Golden Fire Cavalrymen jumped out of the forest and arrived on the land that originally belonged to the residents of Mount Shu.
The leader was Meng Yi. He rolled his black eyes and looked around for traces of people, but he did not find anything. Because the shore was covered in fog, nothing could be seen.
" According to the emperor's decree." Meng Yi rode on his military horse and waved his right hand, ordering the Golden Fire Cavalry behind him,""Advance and wash Mount Shu with blood!"
At this moment, the military horses behind him could not help but neighed, as if they had sensed an intense killing intent.
"Let's see who dares!" In the fog, a man holding a sword in his right hand slowly walked out. He looked like a god in the sky and appeared in front of everyone with a murderous aura.
"This voice, this killing intent! "Could it be…" Meng Yi's warhorse seemed to have lost control as it neighed uneasily. Its front hooves leaped high, almost throwing Meng Yi off."Could it be him?"
Meng Yi had a bad premonition. Unknowingly, cold sweat had already trickled down his face and dripped onto the ground.
Under the illumination of the sun, the clouds gradually dispersed. Only then did the Qin soldiers see the true face of the person in the fog.
"It really is him!" Han Tian's face gradually became clearer in the blurry fog. His black hair fluttered in the breeze, and a deep killing intent appeared between his brows, reflecting in Meng Yi's pupils.
Many soldiers and cavalrymen were shocked when they saw Han Tian. Many of them were the soldiers who had escaped from Han Tian's hands last time.
"It's him!"
"Him again!"
"The assassin from last time!"
"This person is very powerful."
"Yes, yes, five thousand of our soldiers died in his hands!”
……
The army instantly exploded into a commotion. Whispers continued to ring out, and along with the neighing of the warhorses, it seemed sinister and heavy.
Instantly, every Qin soldier felt a chill down their spine. It was somewhat cold and somewhat sinister.
Han Tian closed his eyes and recalled the scene when he had just parted with Shao Si Ming.
**********************************************************
A thick fog rose, and the entire Mount Shu seemed mysterious and illusory.
Shao Siming and Han Tian stood on the waning moon and flew toward the place where the dragon was anchored.
When they were almost close to the ghost, Han Tian warned Shao Si Ming. Then, they landed together, and the waning moon returned to Han Tian's body.
Han Tian's face was gloomy. He slowly walked to Shao Si Ming, turned his back and said,""Now, I have a mission for you.”
"Mission?" Hearing that, Shaosi Ming hurriedly stepped forward and asked,""What mission?"
"Now, Pi has already reached the shore. With the Azure Dragon's speed, it should be about to reach the shore. Han Tian turned around and looked at Shao Siming seriously, then said,""I want you to pick them up."
"Help them?" Hearing that, Shaosi Ming was shocked and asked,""Isn't there a Shu Mountain woman called Shi Lan among them?”
"Shi Lan is not a native of Mount Shu. She has been away from Mount Shu for many years, and with the complicated terrain of Mount Shu, I'm afraid she has already forgotten about it.”
Hearing that, Shaosi Ming thought,""Han Tian is a kind person. Because of the complicated terrain of Mount Shu, he was afraid that the Mo Family would get lost after ascending Mount Shu, so he asked me to pick them up. But how do I know where they will land?”
Thinking of this, Shaosi Ming wanted to say something, but Han Tian seemed to have seen through his thoughts, so he said first,""You don't have to worry about not being able to find them. In my opinion, the landing point is due west, while the east and west are cliffs and waterfalls, and the other directions are green mountains. Therefore, they could only land in the northwest.”
After listening to Han Tian's words, Shao Siming thought about it carefully and found that it was reasonable. However, there was some estrangement between him and the Mo Family. Even if he found them, how could they believe him so easily?
Seeing Shaosi Ming hesitating, Han Tian continued,""Right now, there are only two people who can use it, and that is you and me. The task of stopping Qin Bing can only be done by me, and the task of contacting the Mo family can only be done by you.”
Seeing that Han Tian trusted him so much, Shao Siming felt warm in his heart. He couldn't refuse, so he nodded silently.
"Alright, I promise you. However, you have to promise me one thing.”Shao Siming took off the brocade pouch that Han Tian had given her and handed it to him.
Han Tian took the brocade bag and saw a piece of tender green leaf mixed in the thin gap of the brocade bag.
"This is my leaf. Take it as an amulet. You have to promise me that you will come back safely.”Shao Siming looked at Han Tian with sparkling eyes.
"Then thank you, Lian 'er." Han Tian smiled and put away the brocade bag. Then, he turned around and walked in the direction of Pi. As he walked, he said,"Let's split up and meet up at the Holy Temple on the peak!”
Watching Han Tian's back gradually disappearing into the mist, Shao Si Ming didn't stay for a moment, but rushed to the northwest.
**********************************************************
Thinking of this, Han Tian's tightly shut eyes suddenly opened. He moved the waning moon slightly, reflecting a dazzling cold light.
A cold light flashed across the soldiers 'eyes, like a warning sign. It first made the soldiers' morale unstable and panic.
Han Tian glanced around and roughly guessed the number of Qin soldiers. There were about ten thousand of them, and all of them were fully armed elite soldiers, not any weaker than the patrolling soldiers guarding Ying Zheng's palace.
"How dare you, assassin!" Meng Yi held the reins with his left hand and drew the sword from his waist with his right hand. He aimed at Han Tian, who was a hundred meters away, and shouted,""Last time, you failed to assassinate His Majesty the Emperor, and now you're going against my Golden Fire Cavalry. You're clearly tired of living!”
Although Meng Yi's tone was fierce, his heart was already filled with fear. However, seeing that Han Tian was more than a hundred meters away from him, he probably wouldn't get close to him in an instant, so he said these threatening words.
"Hehe, it was you who were unreasonable first!”"Mount Shu has never had any relations with the Central Plains," Han Tian sneered."It has been peaceful for thousands of years. But today, Ying Zheng had come to fight for the holy water, the treasure of Mount Shu, and even wanted to wash Mount Shu with blood for his own selfish desires. Who was right? Who was wrong?"
"Humph!" "The entire world is the land of the king," Meng Yi shouted again. As long as it was something the Emperor wanted, those who didn't give it were unruly people and deserved to be killed!”
After saying that, Meng Yi reined in his horse and made it retreat a few steps, constantly on guard against Han Tian's sudden attack.
"Should be killed?" After hearing these two words, Han Tian's originally relaxed brows suddenly furrowed. His anger was slightly ignited as he said fiercely,"In order to protect the sacred beliefs in their hearts, should they be killed like this? I think you should be the ones who should be killed!"
After he finished speaking, an invisible air current swept out from Han Tian's body, blowing some weeds and sand.
The army seemed to have sensed Han Tian's terrifying killing intent. Their warhorses neighed wildly, and their hearts were filled with fear.
"General, I don't think it's good." Behind Meng Yi, a warhorse wrapped in golden iron slowly walked forward and arrived beside Meng Yi.
Seeing that the general had come to Meng Yi's side as if he wanted to say something, Han Tian immediately mobilized his True Qi and focused on his ears. The words of Meng Yi and the general clearly appeared in his ears.
The general on the horse turned around and said in a low voice,""General, the rebel in front of us is very strong in martial arts and is good at using yao arts. We soldiers who are good at attacking cities and strongholds are not his match at all. Therefore, I suggest that we retreat. Please ask His Majesty to allow the Yin-Yang School and the Six Sword Slaves to come and fight him.”
"Oh?" Meng Yi rolled his black eyes as his mind raced.
"Hey!" After Han Tian heard their conversation, he roared angrily,""Mine is a spell, not a yao art!”
"Oh, yes, yes, yes. It's a spell." The general hurriedly lowered his voice and said respectfully to Han Tian with his eyes narrowed into slits.
"Humph!" Han Tian glanced at the general in disdain and thought to himself,""Forget it, I'll give Meng Yi some time to consider.”
After listening to the general's suggestion, Meng Yi's mind was filled with a myriad of thoughts. He was extremely anxious."If I go out to fight, I might be killed by the rebels. However, if he went back and reported to His Majesty, even if there was no reward, he would not be punished.”
Thinking of this, Meng Yi shifted his gaze to Han Tian and thought,""This person killed thousands of Great Qin's soldiers last time, so he should be able to easily deal with our 10,000 Cavalry. No, staying alive is more important!"
A moment later, seeing that there was still no movement from Meng Yi's side, Han Tian was a little impatient, so he shouted at Meng Yi,""Hey, have you thought about it?"
Meng Yi, who was deep in thought, immediately stopped thinking. He glanced at the cavalry behind him and shouted,"The first team, stay on guard. The rest of you, retreat!”
As soon as he finished speaking, the army retreated. The front team changed to the back team, and the back team changed to the front team. They quickly retreated. About thirty people were left on the giant tree, staring at Han Tian at all times.
Looking at the Golden Fire Cavalry fleeing in panic, Han Tian's killing intent also dissipated. He said coldly,""Meng Yi is afraid of death, not like his brother at all. With such a General, it's not too late to destroy Great Qin.”
"Bastard!" Ying Zheng, who was sitting on the dragon throne, suddenly sat up with a sullen look on his face. He scolded Meng Yi angrily,""The 10,000 Golden Fire Cavalry that I sent out retreated without even fighting. Meng Yi, what kind of general are you?”
All the people in His Highness stood quietly. This was the first time they had heard Ying Zheng curse, so they were all shocked. They all knew that the Emperor was really angry this time.
Meng Yi, who was kneeling in front of the palace, was already trembling with cold sweat. His clenched fists were trembling non-stop as he said to Ying Zheng intermittently,""Your…Your Majesty! This general saw that the rebel was a strange person who was good at using yao arts, and our iron cavalry was nothing in his eyes. I'm doing this to avoid unnecessary sacrifices, Your Majesty!”
"Hmm?" Ying Zheng frowned, his eyes filled with killing intent. With one hand behind his back, he pointed at Meng Yi with the other and accused,"Are you saying that the Great Qin Cavalry is too weak and that you are looking down on my army?”
"I don't dare!" Meng Yi's voice was extremely respectful. He lowered his head and muttered,"This general is doing this for the sake of Great Qin.”
"Sigh!" Ying Zheng felt very helpless. He sighed and said to Zhao Gao,""No matter what, let's let the Network fight against them for a while! Zhao Gao, you may leave."
"This servant receives the decree." Zhao Gao crossed his arms and shifted his gaze slightly. He glanced at Meng Yi's sorry state, and the corners of his mouth curled up as he slowly retreated.
"As for Meng Yi, the defeated general, I will not hold you accountable for the time being.”Ying Zheng looked at Meng Yi, and his tone was a little calmer.
"Thank you for sparing my life, Your Majesty." Meng Yi hurriedly stood up and retreated to the side.
Ying Zheng was seen pacing back and forth in the palace with his hands behind his back. His Highness's subordinates also looked at each other, not daring to speak.
At this moment, Ying Zheng's brows were tightly knitted together, and he was thinking in his heart,""This Assassin's strength is indeed extraordinary. Last time, we lost more than 10,000 soldiers. If we call the Golden Fire Cavalry out again, they will be defeated! There are only about 20,000 soldiers in the city. If that assassin attacks again, I will be in danger! Therefore, they had to evacuate when necessary.”
Thinking of this, Ying Zheng could not help but stop in his tracks, and hurriedly gave the order,""Quickly summon all the members of the Yin-Yang School. I have urgent instructions!”
"Yes." Hearing Ying Zheng's order, a eunuch hurried out of the palace gate and walked out.
Yun Zhongjun's expression darkened. When he heard the words " Yin-Yang School," his entire body trembled as he thought,""The opportunity has come."
Therefore, he immediately took a few steps forward and came to the center of the hall, saying to Ying Zheng,""Your Majesty, I have something to advise you about."
"Oh? What do you have to say to me? Why don't you be frank?" After hearing this, Ying Zheng waved his hand, indicating for Yun Zhongjun to speak as soon as possible.
"Your Majesty, the assassins are fierce this time, and the defenses on the mountain are a little weak. Therefore, I implore Your Majesty to retreat with all the important officials.”At this point, Yun Zhongjun hurriedly knelt down to show his sincerity.
"Evacuate? Isn't this what I just thought of?”'But if I leave, what will happen to the Six Sword Slaves of the Yin-Yang School?' Ying Zheng thought to himself. Also, how would the holy water be transported back to the Central Plains?”
Pondering for a moment, Ying Zheng slowly opened his mouth and said,""This matter can't be done. I came here personally to drink the holy water here and become an immortal. Moreover, if he left, what would happen to the people who were called out to fight? How could the holy water be sent back to the Central Plains?”
"Your Majesty need not worry about this.”" When I was building the ship," Yun Zhongjun said," I built another huge ship under its deck. It's called the Lang Ship." Although this ship wasn't as big as a small boat, it could easily hold a thousand people.”Yun Zhongjun said.
Hearing Yun Zhongjun's words, Ying Zheng's brows relaxed, but he hesitated and said,""But…"
"Your Majesty." At that moment, Li Si hurriedly stood up and said,""Your Majesty, your dragon body is the most important."
"Yes, Father." Fu Su also stood out and cupped his fists.
Looking at the person who was remonstrating with His Highness, Ying Zheng thought to himself,""This trip of mine is half to drink the holy water and half to play. Now that the holy water could be brought to the Central Plains later, and his goal of playing had been achieved, he might as well really withdraw.”
"Alright, then we'll do as you say. I'll return to the Central Plains early!”Ying Zheng said.
"Your Majesty is wise." His Highness said in unison.
"Does the Yin-Yang School need the help of Great Qin's soldiers?”Ying Zheng asked again.
"I don't think there's a need for that. With your strength, you can definitely defeat Han Tian and retrieve the holy water.”" Your Majesty," Yun Zhongjun said." You only need to leave behind the three hundred boys and girls who are needed to fetch the holy water, as well as some boatmen."”
"I understand." Ying Zheng waved his dragon robe and shouted at His Highness,""Pass down the order to return to the palace immediately!"
A moment later, Yueshen, Xing Hun, Great Si Ming and the others arrived at the palace, but they did not see East Emperor Taiyi.
Seeing this, Ying Zheng knitted his brows tightly and asked in a somewhat angry tone,""Donghuang Taiyi? Why isn't he here?"
"Your Majesty, His Excellency Donghuang is currently cultivating and should not be seen.”Yueshen said respectfully.
"Cultivation?" Hearing this, Ying Zheng was a little displeased." I order him to stop his cultivation immediately and fight the assassin!"”
Hearing the words 'Assassin', Great Si Ming realized that Han Tian had already openly opposed Great Qin, so a battle with him was inevitable. He could not help but feel a bit disappointed.
"Your Majesty, don't be anxious. The Six Sword Slaves have already gone out to fight. After stalling the assassin for two hours, His Excellency Donghuang will be able to come out of seclusion. At that time, we can fight together with Donghuang and defeat the rebels.”The Moon God said.
"Alright, then we'll set off in two hours. After you defeat the assassin, just kill him. After obtaining the holy water, you can take the boat back to the Central Plains. At that time, I will definitely reward you handsomely!”Ying Zheng said.
"Yes." The Yin-Yang Family members were extremely respectful to Ying Zheng, and their voices were very gentle.
"Pass down the order and get ready. Yun Zhongjun, you'll be fully responsible for this matter.”Ying Zheng pointed at Yun Zhongjun and said seriously.
"I accept the decree." Yun Zhongjun bowed and the corners of his mouth curled up slightly.
"Zhen is tired, you can all leave.”Ying Zheng rubbed his forehead with his hand, his expression not looking too good.
"Yes." Everyone in the hall dispersed and prepared to leave Mount Shu.
Meanwhile, Ying Zheng had returned to his own palace. He had been frightened many times in the past few days, so he was very tired and needed a good rest.
However, the Yinyang Family members were not so relaxed. They left the palace and went to meet up with East Emperor Taiyi. Great Si Ming and Dong Jun both had melancholic expressions as they walked behind Yueshen and Xing Hun in disappointment. As for Madame Xiang, she walked at the back, thinking about the scene when she fought with Han Tian.
"This man's actions are strange and his dao techniques are superb. He can actually fight against ten thousand people alone.”"Could Lord Donghuang be stronger than him?" Madame Xiang muttered.”
