I am the seventeenth prince

Chapter 168 Chapter 172
A year has passed.

Li Ye looked at the few fruits frozen on the water, and although he didn't know the exact time, he felt it, and the day of leaving was probably not far away.

As early as a month ago, he had condensed water veins.

On the sea of ​​dantian qi, there is an extra 'water lotus' formed by condensing true qi. It is dark, and the petals are clearly visible, clustered and ready to bloom.

He stretched out his arm and grasped it. The fruit on the water surface fell into his palm, and the edge of the blade emerged in his palm. With a click, the frost broke, revealing the fruit that had been stored for nearly a year.

Bite down, and through the operation of the kung fu, the black lotus embryo in the sea of ​​​​qi became more real, as if it had grown a little bit bigger.

With the sword at his side, Li Ye turned into a sword in his palm.

cut out.

The trace of the knife that landed was very straight, and there was no intention to conceal it. Such a simple chopping action was the trick that Li Ye practiced non-stop and became stronger.

The road is simple.

The sword master is fierce and kills.

He only needs to make people unable to dodge his knife, and he doesn't need to pursue any profound and exquisite knife moves.

Huhu.

The sound of the wind coming out of the knife, but the sound of the wind disappeared not long after it appeared, as if no sound was allowed here.

There were footsteps in the distance.

Li Ye didn't stop, and was still slashing out one by one, not sure how fast, but when it fell into Jingheng's eyes, she felt like she couldn't avoid it.

Jingheng who was standing beside did not urge, but watched Li Ye's knife.

Among them, her eyes were full of surprises, she never thought that Li Ye's current appearance would be so unkempt.

From 350 nine knives until [-] knives are cut, every one of these knives is made by Li Ye using the strength of his body. After the cut, he feels inexplicably relieved.

popping.

Jingheng was clapping her hands.

"His Royal Highness's sword is already superb, and it is rare in the world."

She praised Li Ye sincerely.

The sharp edge dissipated, and Li Ye, who didn't answer, raised his hand and grasped falsely, sucking out the fruit frozen on the water surface.

"No." Jing Nan was startled.

She was afraid that Li Ye would not be able to digest it, and would be overwhelmed by the energy in the fruit.

The reason why she was shocked was that she was afraid that Li Ye would die in front of her, not because she had a deep relationship with Li Ye, but because she was afraid that Li Ye's death would implicate her.

If it was in another place, she wished Li Ye would die.

After all, Xue Hengshan didn't want to see Li Ye become stronger, otherwise the situation of being suppressed by the monkey ancestor would become even more uncomfortable.

Li Ye propped up his chest and opened his mouth to inhale.

The sliced ​​fruit poured into Li Ye's stomach one after another, and was digested by his body.

Why not absorb the fruit beforehand?

It was the sword array spread around that gave him protection, but at the same time made it difficult for him to leave. As a fruit to replenish life energy, Li Ye was reluctant to eat it before Jingheng arrived.

"Why not?"

Li Ye asked.

He came to the shore with one step, and there didn't seem to be any problems with his body, let alone any abnormality of being full of energy.

Jing Heng was slightly stunned, shaking his head.

"It's okay, then follow me, Your Highness, don't take a wrong step."

She walked out.

Li Ye followed closely behind, and after a year, he returned to the same path again.

After coming out, the eagle's body like a hill, the goshawk crouched on the ground, heard the movement, opened the bird's eyes, and saw Li Ye without the excitement of a year ago, as if he forgot.

Jingheng jumped onto the eagle's back, and Li Ye followed closely behind.

Flap your wings and fly.

The oncoming strong wind ruffled Li Ye's hair, and a small tuft of hair covered his vision.

He stroked his messy hair behind him, touched his beard and upper lip again, feeling very strange in his heart.

He felt a little ashamed for losing face.

The knife appeared, and Li Ye revealed that he had great control over the knife, and he didn't let himself get hurt at all, and the excess hair was blown away by the wind.

"Your Highness, the Shaoqing of Shaochang Temple is waiting for His Highness's visit on the mountain."

"Shaochang Temple, how did you become a member of Shaochang Temple?"

"According to what Shaoqing said, he just happened to have something to pass by here, so he came here by the way."

There is no word.

Slowly, the two returned to the main peak of the Xueheng Mountains.

The same place, the same people, but at different times, Li Ye who came back again was already very different, and he had taken a new step in his practice.

"Xiaguan Shaochang Temple Shaoqing has met His Royal Highness the Seventeenth."

Among the crowd, the person at the front was an official who was wearing a court uniform and was incompatible with Xue Hengshan's disciples, and he bowed.

Li Ye just nodded.

"follow me."

Jingheng leads the way.

Along the way, Xueheng Mountain became deserted and deserted, and couldn't compare with the excitement of a year ago. Not long after, he came to the courtyard where he lived a year ago again.

Li Ye looked at the filthy robes on his body and was not in the mood to pay attention to others. After a hasty exchange, he washed his body.

When he returned to the yard, only Shaoqing in official uniform was still there, but there was a package in his palm, and the others had already left.

"Your Highness, this is an imperial decree from His Majesty, a secret decree."

He opened the package and handed over to Li Ye the long box containing two wills, one large and one small.

"The next official still has important work to do, so the next official will leave first and go down the mountain to complete his duties."

Li Ye looked at Shaoqing who asked for instructions, nodded, and did not keep anyone.

The seal on the outside of the box was still good, so he knew that the imperial decree and secret decree inside had not been tampered with.

Since Shaoqing doesn't know the content of the imperial decree and the secret decree, there is no need for Liu Shaoqing to be here.

After Shaoqing left, Li Ye sat on a chair, opened the wooden box, and picked up the imperial decree inside.

He looked at the information above and sneered.

Li Ye didn't stay in Xueheng Mountain for long, he set foot on Goshawk and left Xueheng Mountain on the third day.

In the lively small town outside the mountains, people come and go.

Tavern.

The aroma of the wine was overflowing, making people feel endless aftertaste, which attracted Li Ye's ten fingers to move.

"It's been a long time since I've had a drink."

He steps into the tavern.

"Guest officer, are you alone? Accord, or the lobby?" The waiter in the tavern stood respectfully, with a rag on his shoulder.

"Is there any window seat in the lobby?"

Li Ye looked at the lobby on the first floor, it was almost full of people, and it happened to be meal time.

"Yes, on the second floor."

Xiao Er greeted people with a smiling face, and walked in front to lead the way.

When he came up, Li Ye heard a conversation he was interested in.

"Do you know that I just came back from Sishui County, and a big event happened there. Guess what it is?"

"Okay, don't be so secretive, speak quickly if you have something to say, and fart if you have to fart."

"I'm not kidding you guys, do you know the Phantom Demon Sect? The famous Huanzun died in Sishui County. Over there, there was a lot of trouble. The local forces in Sishui County went through a cruel reshuffle, so I came from Sishui County. run out."

"It turns out that you came to take refuge. Speaking of words, why did the Phantom Venerable die like this? He was one of the giants in the demonic way. Many righteous people tried to kill him, but they failed in the end. How did he die?"

"Being betrayed by others, Yinfenggu Linghua turned out to be a member of the little Demon Venerable. With the cooperation of Linghua, the inner ghost, the little Demon Venerable easily killed Huan Zun."

Li Ye followed Xiaoer to the table by the window.

"Get me some food and wine that you are good at." Li Ye took out a silver coin and put it on the table.

"Okay." Xiao Er backed away.

Li Ye continued to listen to the news about Linghua, with a smile on his lips.
