Chapter 672: Holy Seal of Sacrifice (5400)

Led by several mountain guards, the food team walked into the tribe at the foot of the mountain, while Ian and Qing Chao were led by a second-level sublimator to meet the elder Manya who was waiting by the river at the gate.

Ian was a little surprised when he saw this black-haired, blue-eyed, youthful-looking Second Level Ascendant.

He didn't remember that the Nanling Dragon Worship Sect had other second energy levels with dragon blood... Elder Man Ya didn't introduce them.

Because of the secret technique of the Dragon Blessing, the opponent's aura is exactly the same as that of ordinary people. If Ian didn't have the vision of vision, he would definitely not be able to discover this.

For the first time, Ian thought it was the Dragon Worship Sect who wanted to ambush him, and when the elder Manya gave an order, the five hundred knives and axemen would come out and chop himself into meat paste... But without the paranoia of persecution, Ian was Knowing that the Dragon Worship Sect is one of our own in the true sense, how could it be possible to plot against him.

There must be something hidden behind this.

Ian and Qing Chao stepped on the withered branches and leaves, and walked into the gathering place of the Avod Department on the other side of the mountain.

A small river flows slowly among the brown-yellow woods. The clear water flows through the man-made stone channel surrounding the tribe. There are light-colored aquatic plants floating in the clean pebbles.

Elder Manya is on the other side of the river bank.

The young man who led the way was not a mountain man. Ian began to pay attention to the details of the other party when he realized that the other party was at the second energy level.

He found that the palm of this 'young man' had quite obvious calluses with a sword, and Qing Chao also gestured to Ian to be careful.

They can all see that the calloused marks on the opponent's hands are not double-edged swords that have been used for more than 20 years, and they cannot be practiced.

20 years... plus the identity of the ascendant, neither the mountain people nor the imperial people...

Dragon worship in other regions?

Ian remained calm on the surface, and he soon came to Elder Manya. The old mountain man with dark skin smiled and greeted Ian and Qingchao, and then sat down with the 'young man' who led the way. nod.

"Ian, if you say three months ago, I would never have imagined that we would meet again. You are already at the second energy level. The Dragon God protects you, and you are safe and sound.

Elder Manya’s communication this time was quite formal, and Ian also bowed to each other: "Dragon God blesses me, I was able to survive the disaster in Avak, and it was really thanks to the power of dragon transformation. Without you and others By relying on the teachings of members of the Dragon Sect, I may not be able to master the power of dragon transformation, nor can I survive the aftermath of King Tianhong."

"We are all church members, why should we be thankful?"

Touching his beard, Elder Manya smiled and said: "This time you can block the surprise attack of the three coalition forces, and even wipe them out in turn, which really relieved a lot of pressure on our side. I must say thank you to you .”

The communication between the two is not like this usually, but now it is so formal, Ian can guess with his toes, it's all because of the 'young man' standing next to him.

Sure enough, Elder Manya then introduced to Ian: "This is the envoy of the Dragon Cult 'Mian Ren' from the Absalom Mountains in Feiyandi. He is a master of swordsmanship and is best at imitating other people's swords. technology."

"Different from us, what he inherited was the blood of the 'Extreme Flame Dragon', and he is the real holder of the 'Sentry Flame Guard', a distinguished guest of the Marquis."

"This time, he came here on behalf of Absalom, and negotiated some issues with us on behalf of the Dragon Worshiper over the Flame Land."

"It's a pleasure to meet you." Mo Ren had some complaints in his heart. Elder Man Ya talked too much, and basically leaked all his details. Although the other party is a member of the Dragon Worship Sect, it is not difficult to really know the information. But still a little impolite.

However, thinking of his purpose of coming here, he still smiled and nodded to Ian: "I never thought that another high-ranking member of Nanling is actually such a young man."

"Where is it." Ian also pretended not to see the real age of the other party: "You don't look much older than me, and I'm just relying on luck."

After a short exchange of pleasantries, Mo Ren got to the point - before coming to meet Ian, he was negotiating some issues with Elder Man Ya.

"Man Ya, you said that the senior members of the Nanling Sect have been assembled, so the next step is war or peace, can you give me a letter?"

Grin's words are like swords. He came here this time to represent Feiyan's Dragon Worship Sect and asked Nanling Dragon Worship Sect to remain neutral in the next situation.

This is actually a very normal requirement: Dragon Worship itself has no distinction of nationality, as long as they have dragon blood and dragon organs, they can be regarded as core members. In this case, members of Dragon Worship do not need to participate in the disputes between countries at all. .

Even if they cannot maintain a detached and neutral position like the Four Orthodox Churches, they must at least maintain a superficial non-interference.

The Nanling Dragon Worship Cult assisting Nauman City to fight against the Feiyandi Special Forces is actually a move that seriously jeopardizes the independence of the Nanling Dragon Worship Cult. Is the performance of this 'infiltration'.

There are a few points that G Ren said are right.

The first point, regardless of whether the mountain people's rebellion is successful or not, the elder Manya with dragon blood will be an important person to be wooed by both sides. Elder Manya helps the empire suppress the rebellious mountain people. The chief advanced to the third energy level, and Elder Manya must also advance to deal with it, otherwise he will be completely suppressed.

However, Elder Manya did not pass on the inheritance to help him. Once he failed to enter the advanced stage and died, not only the mountain people lost a famous elder with the inheritance of the Dragon God, but also the loss of the Dragon Worship Cult.

The second point, the reason why the group of steel pterosaurs were recruited by Feiyan was because of Absalom's Dragon Worship Cult. Continuing to fight like this would only intensify the internal conflicts of Dragon Worship Cult.

——What are you talking about, isn't this just pulling the frame for Fei Yandi?
Ian's heart is like a mirror.

Fei Yandi single-handedly planned the food disaster in Nanling, causing the mountain people to rebel, and even dispatched dragons to suppress the high-level forces in Nanling. Even the king of the mountain was confronting the king of steel pterosaurs.

It is necessary for the Nanling Dragon Sect and the Empire to join hands to maintain the stability of the situation. Otherwise, the entire Nanling will fall into corruption, and Elder Manya will never want to rule the mountain people and reunite them in his lifetime.

Therefore, Ian saw that Elder Man Ya nodded with a smile on the surface, but in fact he refused to accept all the neutral demands of Gian Ren.

In fact, Ian himself was also one of the reasons why he politely refused to copy the blade before - he said that Ian was also a high-ranking member of the Dragon Worship Sect in Nanling, and that Ian was not at the scene, so he couldn't make a decision.

But when Ian arrived, he still didn't make a decision, which made the black-haired swordsman look rather ugly.

"Man Ya, if this continues, the rumors in the church will not sound good."

Mo Ren's temper is not very good, and at the end of the sentence, his words were vaguely threatening: "I came here with sincerity, but what I got was only perfunctory - if you really don't want to, then in the end we just have to See you on the battlefield."

Elder Man Ya frowned slightly. He obviously felt that this communication was meaningless, but just before he spoke, Ian shook his head.

He took a step forward.

This step caused a burst of white cold air to spread from his feet, causing waves of ripples, and headed towards the feet of Mo Ren. Blossoming ice flowers pierced the feet of this flaming Dragon Worshiper envoy, as if they wanted to penetrate it completely from foot to head!

Gian Ren's complexion changed slightly, he didn't expect Ian to do it directly... But even so, he looked down on Ian in his heart.

Even a genius is just a young man who is forced to advance. Whether it is source quality control or combat skills, how can he beat him who has experienced many battles?
——Interesting, then I will teach you a lesson.

Gian Ren smiled instead of anger, a layer of crimson flames lit up on his body, and these flames were like living things, condensing into three flame blades with only the blade in mid-air.

This is the sublimation ability of the second energy level of the 'Sentinel Flame Guard', derived from the power of the fine volcanic monster 'Lava Worm'.It was originally used to condense several 'flame bugs' that could emit scorching rays as a sentinel, but after the transformation of the shadow blade, it became several flame blades that could cut and pierce freely as he wished.

"With such a pretty face, I don't know if my strength is worthy of it."

He drew his sword, ready to step forward and bleed Ian.

But as soon as Gian took a step, he felt that something was wrong.

Ian's frost blade thorns condensed on the ground were not melted by his heat as he imagined. On the contrary, it only had a little more water, and instead became more slippery and sharper.

When he stepped down, although his body was not pierced, his shoes were directly torn, and he couldn't stand stably.

——What source quality is this? !Even with the blessing of dragon organs, it's impossible to be so solid, right? !
Is this really just advanced to the second energy level?

I was shocked in my heart, but even so, Gian Ren did not give up attacking - the three flame blades drew three beautiful red light arcs forward, and slashed at Ian from different angles. Even a master swordsman would have to forcibly block a sword move that was blocked with extreme power.

But Ian was not afraid. He drew his sword to block one of the flame blades, while his other hand condensed ice to block the other. As for the last flame blade that could not be blocked when it slashed towards his waist from an oblique angle... …

Qing Chao draws out his sword.

With a flash of sword light, a stream of water-colored light swept out, knocking the last flame blade away.

thud thud thump—Mu Ren retreated three steps in a row, he breathed heavily, almost lost his standing and fell to the ground.

"you?!"

The swordsman looked at Ian viciously. He turned his head and looked at Elder Man Ya who was also surprised: "Man Ya, this is your way of hospitality? You want to teach civil war..."

Before he finished speaking, Ian took another step forward.

The steel pattern sword broke through the atmosphere, drawing a bright cyan sword light, piercing his neck with sudden wind pressure, so that Gian Ren had to raise his sword to block, interrupting the words in his mouth.

when!Ian's sword looked light, but in fact it was powerful, and Gian Ren couldn't help taking another step back.

"What on earth are you going to do?"

After standing still, the swordsman roared angrily. At this moment, three flame blades were condensed around him again—this time, what he was thinking in his head was not "teach Ian a lesson", but "don't die".

But calmly as a swordsman, he told Gren that if there was a real fight... Facing this young man whose strength was far beyond his expectations, he might not even be able to escape.

Because, after Elder Man Ya glanced at Ian thoughtfully, he faintly stood in the position blocking Gian Ren from leaving.

——This is a trap!
For a moment, Gian Ren's heart fell into an ice cave.

"I just don't want to listen to idiots."

Ian shook his head and sighed after seeing that Gian Ren seemed to understand the current situation: "I heard you say some stupid things there, so I couldn't help but want to shut you up."

There was no kindness in his actions or words, and Ian spoke to the swordsman who suppressed his anger in a sarcastic tone: "Mo Dao, no matter how much you say, you can't ignore the fact that you were the ones who helped Feiyandi first, Break neutrality and divide the mountain people."

"So much nonsense, don't you just want to make your plan succeed? Now that you feel that it may fail, you start to use outside tricks?"

"It deserves it." He commented: "Now I will give you a suggestion - take your people and the dragons and go away obediently, otherwise, be careful that your family members will not even find the ashes after you die."

Hearing such merciless ridicule, Mo Ren really wanted to draw his sword and fight Ian for a while.

For so many years, who dared to talk to him with such a condescending attitude?Even the Marquis treated him as a guest of honor and entrusted him to teach the guards in the mansion sword skills—but the young Bai Zhimin in front of him didn't take him seriously from the beginning to the end, and didn't even want to listen to a word? !

This is an exchange of opinions within the Dragon Sect!Even Man Ya didn't dare to treat him like this, where did this young man have the guts? !

But it's just impulse.

Thinking about Ian's background and Ian's age, Mo Ren suddenly realized why such a young genius with an imperial background should be afraid of his own background and the Dragon Worship Cult?He really dared to do it!

The real threat of death caused fear to climb up the spine in an instant. Without any nonsense or harsh words, the blade turned around and leaped, and the flames from the nozzles of its feet and back erupted, and there was a turbulent explosion in an instant. The sound disappeared.

—he's gone.

"pity."

Looking at the back of Gian Ren fleeing in embarrassment, Ian didn't chase after him. He just took back the steel pattern sword regretfully: "I think his saber is really good, and it's quite suitable for you, Qing Chao."

"I didn't expect him to be so timid, and he wouldn't try his best if I hurt him so much?"

"Yeah, I'm really timid." Qing Chao also put his sword back into its sheath. He was very interested in the skill of condensing the blade of flame, and for a while, his mind was almost full of the shadow of this sword skill, and he subconsciously echoed Ian. Saying: "I don't need a sword, his sword is a source material of the fire element, so I can't use it."

"Sell it and buy the materials." Ian's answer was also a little casual: "His dragon organ is actually a dragon wing. No wonder he flies so fast, even at supersonic speed."

Listening to Ian and Qing Chao's sloppy conversation, Elder Man Ya watched the direction where Gian Ren disappeared, and couldn't help shaking his head.

"Did Barton tell you to do this? This cunning eagle, if I haven't made up my mind, I will ask you to help?"

Turning his head and looking at Ian, the elder sighed: "Even so, there is no need to provoke him like this. It is impossible for me to remain neutral."

"Ian, you don't need to be so tough. You still need to maintain a certain amount of harmony within the Dragon Blessing, otherwise, future cooperation and exchanges will be very troublesome. I don't care. You are still young, and if you have more contacts, you will have a way."

"No. It has nothing to do with the Marquis of Barton. This is my personal decision."

Ian turned his head and looked at the old man. His tone was calm and straightforward: "Don't talk about anything else, Elder Manya, do you want to unify the mountain people, or do you want to become bigger and stronger in Dragon Worship Cult? Isn’t the reason why the religion didn’t develop and become a mainland-level sect like the Four Orthodox Churches because the members all think about themselves and never think about the development of the sect?”

"You should do the same. Members of the Dragon Worship Cult in other regions should be partners when they cooperate. If they oppose each other, they can only give in and confront, and there is absolutely no possibility of any compromise."

The reason why Ian has such a bad attitude towards Gian Ren, and even directly strikes, is precisely because he has seen that the requirements of the two parties do not overlap at all, and there is no possibility of any compromise from the beginning, so he is too lazy to talk nonsense and drive away directly. It's all about killing.

Elder Man Ya got old and became hesitant and unable to make a decision.But Ian's time is precious.

The old man was silent, because what Ian said was right.

Compared with the identity of the Dragon Worship Sect, Man Ya still values ​​the identity of the elder of the mountain people more. That is his real life goal. He should have distinguished which is more important.

"Indeed. I shouldn't have wasted time with Mian Ren—he probably used the name of Dragon Worship Cult to find out my truth."

He took a long breath, at this moment, Elder Manya made up his mind, and his eyes became sharper: "What does the Dragon Worship Sect over at Feiyandi have nothing to do with me, I am now the great elder of the mountain people—Jiamubu intends to split the mountain." People, trap our family in the abyss, I absolutely cannot let him succeed."

He looked at Ian and said decisively: "You came just in time, I remember Ian, you are already an elite alchemist, right? Come, help me to see what needs to be adjusted in the preparation of the third-level potion... …If I fail to advance, I must also help me stabilize the situation in the clan, and wait for people from Pansha and Colonel Mayova to come and take over.”

"There are memos and suicide notes in my bedroom, you go and get them first, and those extra Warcraft materials are also..."

This is obviously intended to entrust the funeral directly.

"Wait, elder!"

Ian hurried forward, he held down the shoulder of Elder Manya, who seemed to be going to turn back directly, and was about to risk his life to advance to the third energy level, and dissuaded him: "I came this time to tell you that in the book of Yinyao, we There is an orthodox method for the third energy level of the mountain people—elders, and you don’t need to go to dragon transformation to do your best!”

The young man emphasized: "It's not that I have news about the Book of Silver Brilliance, but I do know its contents!"

"what?"

The shoulders were held down, and Elder Man Ya's footsteps froze.

He felt that he had heard something wrong, turned his head in astonishment, and looked at Ian: "Do you really know the contents of the Book of Silver Glory?!"

The old man originally thought that Ian had found out the location of the stolen Book of Silver Glory from the imperial capital, but the mountain people had no time to retake the holy book, especially him, who had no time to procrastinate.

But what Ian meant was... he actually knew the orthodox way to advance? !The advanced method that really belongs to the third energy level of mountain people? !
——Also, what did the little guy say?We mountain people?How could such a radiant Bai Zhimin speak so naturally?
"of course."

Ian looked at Elder Manya's unbelievable expression, his tone slowed down, and said with a smile: "I am the messenger of the Dragon God, the prophet of thunder—Elder Manya, this is not a false name. "

"I have indeed come into contact with the Book of Yinyao, and got the imprint from it, and was able to accept the inheritance in Xiahui Lake."

With that said, Ian raised his hand.

A round of shining silver steel dragon totem appeared on the back of his white hand.

The silver brilliance bloomed, and the source quality fluctuations from Xiahui Lake disappeared in a flash, but was captured by the old man.

"The seal of the priest?! You actually activated the inheritance of the Holy Land and became the envoy of the Dragon God?!"

Seeing this unique imprint and feeling the special fluctuations, Elder Manya opened his eyes wide: "Dragon God, how is this possible—you are obviously not a mountain dweller, how could you possibly obtain the sacrificial seal of the holy land Xiahui Lake? !"

At this moment, apart from the horror in the old man's heart, an extremely absurd idea could not help but emerge.

——Could it be possible...

——Ian really has the blood of the mountain people? !
