blues paradox

"Stop your idle fantasies, it's impossible." Su Kuang stared solemnly at the young man holding Hongji hostage, and said sarcastically, "You think we will lose the peace of the entire Phoenix Valley for one princess? ?"

"Huh?" The boy raised his eyebrows pretending to be puzzled, and said softly provocatively: "I thought this was more than just a princess, at least, her role is not just to be a noble and beautiful princess, do you think so?" , Great Elder?"

"I don't know where you got the news, but in fact, it's true." The elder stroked his beard and nodded in agreement, but his eyes suddenly froze, becoming sharp and fierce, and when the subject changed, he He said lightly: "However... this does not mean that we will easily involve Phoenix Valley in disaster."

Isn't the lesson of offending the emperor of the Demon Realm thousands of years ago not enough? This time, Phoenix Valley will never be involved in an unknown disaster, well, at least it must not be actively involved.In fact, there are many ways to solve this matter.There are only two people on the other side, and they are all top experts in the Phoenix Valley. It is not impossible to use violence to snatch Princess Hongji from their hands. His resentment and curse can be obtained through other means, but the effect is a bit worse.Taking a [-]-step back, even if there is really no way to snatch Hong Ji's body, they can still wait for the next sacrificial ceremony, although it will inevitably disrupt their plans, waste a lot of time, and increase the risk Big, but compared to losing the entire Phoenix Valley, it is still quite cost-effective.This negotiation is doomed to be impossible to succeed. The rebel army overestimated the bargaining chip in their hands and underestimated the determination of the elders to defend the interests of Phoenix Valley.

"So, is it true that the stakes are too low?" The young man lowered his head and whispered, and the elders of Phoenix Valley surrounded them one after another, as if they could be captured or killed as long as the elder gave an order. He couldn't see the slightest panic and panic. He knew why the elder didn't give the order decisively. He was waiting for him to lower his requirements. After all, it would be good to get Hongji to continue the sacrifice ceremony. Mind temporarily swallowed his humiliation and agreed.

"Okay, then let's change the request. In fact, I never expected things to go so smoothly." The boy seemed to want to shrug his shoulders to express regret. This was probably a small move that had been discussed in the "script". However, he had no choice but to give up because his movements were too rigid, and he continued in a cold voice: "Then, let's exchange at an equal value, but I don't know if the life of Her Royal Highness Princess Guigu is worth the life of your great elder?" ?”

"Impossible!" Mo Xiao resolutely refused, the originally gentle and kind smile on his face became cold and stiff, he fixedly looked at the elder, frowned and said in a low voice: "Elder, the entire Phoenix Gu's future still depends on you, please think carefully, it's a big deal... we will wait for the next opportunity."

Indeed, the worst thing is to wait for the next sacrificial ceremony, but the next time will have to wait for thousands of years or even longer. No one can say what changes will happen during this period. It is good to be able to get rid of the seal of the emperor of the demon world earlier. , who knows when such a closed space will be completely covered by darkness, and when exactly the Phoenix Clan will perish?

Everyone was silent, they didn't know whether to stop or approve, but as long as it was the Great Elder's decision, they could only and must support it. Mo Xiao hugged Mu Ling and silently looked at the Great Elder's back, he Never before has this been clearly recognized: the Grand Elder is old.In fact, among all the people, he was the only one who knew why the two rebels were obsessed with the life of the Great Elder.Once the Great Elder died, the elders would have no leader. The most likely successors would be him and Su Kuang. However, Su Kuang was blunt and straightforward, and his popularity was not as good as his, so he could only be elected in the end.The two insurgents probably still tried to continue to cooperate with them, thinking that they were different from the elders, and thought that as long as they owed them favors and gave them enough benefits, they would have the opportunity to form an alliance with Phoenix Valley.Hehe, Mo Xiao hung his head and smiled sarcastically. If they really thought so, they would be too naive. What he wanted was never the tranquility of Phoenix Valley, but the chaos of Phoenix Valley.

"I... agree, but I have to wait until the sacrificial ceremony is completed. I want to watch the ceremony with my own eyes." The elder replied lightly. Behind him was a group of silent elders.No matter what the Great Elder said or did on weekdays, and what calculations he had afterwards, at least at this moment, they simply admired him.

"So...we have reached an agreement?" The young man obviously didn't expect to succeed so quickly, he thought that at least he had to lower the requirements to a higher level.

"I think so, then, let's swear." The elder nodded and asked for an oath. He had to ensure that these two variables would not try to do anything in the next sacrificial ceremony.

"Naturally." The young man nodded. In fact, even if the elder did not propose it, he would still use the oath method. After all, the magic power of language is hard to resist, and it is also the safest.

He stretched out his right hand to wipe the air, and a small black magic circle was suspended vertically in mid-air. After confirming the accuracy of the magic circle, the two put their hands into the circle respectively, and joined hands together against the invisible formation. .

"The great emperor of the Demon Realm bears witness to my vow to exchange my dying life for the life of Princess Hongji."

"The great emperor of the Demon Realm bears witness to my vow to exchange Hongji's life for that of the current Great Elder of Phoenix Valley." Seeing the white-haired Great Elder opposite him opening his mouth as if about to say something, the young man paused and added. He said, "And in the following process, we will never make trouble or actively provoke trouble."

The Great Elder nodded slightly in satisfaction when he heard the words, and as the oath was finished, two dark halos emerged from the formation and submerged into the eyebrows of the two, and the formation disappeared.

With the guarantee of the oath, the boy leaned aside and let the unconscious Hong Ji be taken away by the elder.In fact, there was no treaty in the oath to guarantee the lives of the two of them. It stands to reason that their situation should be very dangerous, but now that the time for the sacrificial ceremony is running short, no one has the time to trouble the two of them.

The great elder placed Hongji under the magic circle, and the other elders also formed an arc and sat around the magic circle. Seeing that Hongji was about to be nailed into the formation again by the long arrow, Lan Tuo gently pushed her away. Pushing Xiu beside him, he said jokingly, "Father, it's time for you to fulfill your oath."

"Xiao Tiao'er is not worried at all." Xiu answered casually, while taking out "Kong Ying", he chanted a spell softly, and "Kong Ying" gradually spread into a small cloud of dark purple smoke in the palm of his hand , and finally condensed into a small piece of purple gemstone, with a deep and noble color, and the multi-edged surface makes it look radiant and gorgeous.

Because it was not deliberately concealed, the strong magical fluctuations instantly attracted the attention of everyone present. In a remote corner, two figures, one tall and one short, stood side by side gradually appeared. gem.

"Are the two of you going to fight Phoenix Valley too?" The Great Elder tensed up for a moment, his whole body's muscles became stiff, his right hand was slightly hanging by his side, his posture seemed to be ready to go at any moment.These two people are not as easy to deal with as the two rebels just now, and the unfathomable magic power cannot but be dreaded.

"It's not a person." Lan Tuo cutely tilted his head and denied, but the cold coldness and undisguised ridicule on his face were completely opposite to what he said. He pretended to be naive and said: "In fact, we are just I am entrusted to appraise and appraise this rare magic circle, I think the Great Elder will not mind."

Blues deliberately added an accent to the word "appraisal", and anyone can hear the deep meaning.All the elders stood up abruptly, looking at them cautiously with weapons in hand.

"Xiao Tiao'er, stretch out your left hand." Xiu didn't pay attention to the tense scene around him, but turned his head slightly and looked at Lan Tiao with a chuckle.

"Huh? What are you doing?" Despite being puzzled, Lantiao still obediently stretched out his left hand in front of Xiu with a bit of aggrieved attitude.

"Hehe, why is Xiao Tiao so nervous?" Untimely, he made a playful and charming chuckle, completely ignoring the ulterior motives, contempt or vigilance of the people around him, Xiu unscrupulously bowed his head and put on a ring in Lan Tiao. He dropped a light kiss on the root of Lan Tuo's finger, and while carefully removing the pure black ring from Lan Tuo's slender finger, he whispered softly, "I'll borrow it, Xiao Tiao, don't you mind?"

"No... Actually, it belongs to you." Lan Tuo looked at the ring detached from his finger with a little discomfort, and frowned in disgust, as if Xiu was about to abandon him. It's a really unpleasant feeling.

"No, this is yours, child." Xiu seemed to have seen through Lantiao's thoughts, and whispered in Lantiao's ear, "Our temple has already given it to Xiaotiao... along with our heart..."
