The demon clan has a vast territory, and these princes have their own fiefdoms and palaces, and each of them has a different style of palace.
Diehui's place is mainly gorgeous and elegant, while the overall tone of Luoxiao's palace is more elegant and quiet, with fewer treasures and decorations, but lush vegetation.
When Shu Lingjia came here for the first time, he felt a little familiar, but he didn't think about it deeply. Only then did he realize that the style here is actually very similar to the courtyard where Luo Xiao lived in the Lingxiao faction.
If a person hates his past very much, then after leaving the old place, he must consciously discard all familiar things, but Luo Xiao kept the habit. This at least proves that he has no hatred for the demons. Probably more of a regret that the ambition has not been fulfilled.
The palace has been banned since the day Luo Xiao left, and no one has ever entered it. Only outside the golden red gate, fallen flowers are silent, covered with moss on the ground.
It is not difficult for Jing Feitong and Shu Lingjia to forcibly break this restriction, but it is too much noise, if someone is really hiding in the palace, it will inevitably startle the snake.
Shu Lingjia observed the surrounding terrain, his heart moved, he turned and smiled at Jing Feitong and said, "I have a way, but I can only enter, not you..."
When he said this, he suddenly heard a "cracking" sound not far from him, as if something was cracking.
Shu Lingjia suddenly turned his head to look in that direction, and at the same time, Jing Feitong had already moved to his side in an instant, grabbed Shu Lingjia's arm, and said in a low voice: "Be careful, it seems to be coming from the ground. The movement that came."
As soon as he finished speaking, the ground in front of the two of them had already slammed, and a large piece sank.
Jing Feitong pulled Shu Lingjia back a few steps, raised his sleeves to cover his face.
The wind was mixed with a smell of blood, dust and gravel were thrown up, and amidst the smoke and dust in the sky, they felt the evil thoughts that Chao Ji said at the same time.
At the same time, a black shadow emerged from the ground depression, and then flew towards the western sky at an extremely fast speed.
Jing Feitong grabbed Shu Lingjia and didn't let go, patted the scabbard with the other hand, and shouted: "Get out of the scabbard!"
His long sword came out in response to the sound, and flew towards the black shadow like a stream of light. With a flash of brilliance, it had already cut the thing in half.
The moment the sword light illuminated the black shadow, both Jing Feitong and Shu Lingjia vaguely saw that the thing looked like a human being, broke in two and fell downwards, and could still see its arms and legs dancing wildly.
But the falling trend is only a moment, Shu Lingjia suddenly said: "Brother, look!"
Jing Feitong's expression also froze suddenly.
Both of them clearly saw that there seemed to be some suction force between the two parts of the body, and they merged into one body all of a sudden, and flew up again.
This time, it's faster.
Jing Feitong's sword is called Qingluan, and he rarely has the opportunity to show off his abilities on weekdays. Since Jing Feitong got to know Shu Lingjia, he sees the mighty sword beating the enemy fiercely every day, and he is very envious .
This time he finally made a meritorious deed, Qingluan was flying down happily, planning to return to his master's embrace to invite a reward, but he turned around and found that the slash was for nothing.
Qingluan lost her face, she was furious immediately, let out a long cry, turned back and chased after him.
Shu Lingjia's mighty power also kept trembling in the sword box, Shu Lingjia patted it and said, "Do you want to show off too? Do you want to do it together?"
From just now, the earth's energy in the Demon Realm has been extremely restless, and rare visions have appeared in the sky, and evil thoughts from unknown sources are overflowing. Obviously, something important must have happened somewhere they don't know.
It happened to be at this time, even if these things were not necessarily done by Luo Xiao, it was uncertain whether they would have anything to do with Yan Yu.
Jing Feitong stopped Shu Lingjia, and hurriedly said, "Wait, the situation is unclear now, so we need to be cautious."
Shu Lingjia said: "It is precisely because the situation is unclear that we have to investigate. Maybe there will be clues!"
Jing Feitong was unwilling to put him in danger, and said decisively: "Then I will go, and you go to your elder brother."
While he was speaking, there was another sound of sword cries from behind the clouds in midair, Jing Feitong also let out a clear whistle, pinched Shu Lingjia's shoulder, and said softly: "It's okay, I'll go back as soon as I go , you must be careful and contact me at any time."
As he spoke, his figure rose instantly.
Shu Lingjia chased after two steps, and raised his voice: "You too, be careful, don't chase too deep!"
Jing Feitong turned his head and waved his hands at him as a signal, and his feet had already stepped on the Qingluan Sword flying out of the clouds.
With him going straight up with his sword, Qingluan's speed was several times faster than before, and in a blink of an eye this person disappeared with a single sword strike.
Shu Lingjia stood on the ground, looked up for a while, then turned around and looked at Luo Xiao's palace again.
He just said that he had found a way that he could get in but Jing Feitong couldn't, and Jing Feitong left, which was quite worry-free.
Shu Lingjia discovered that although there are restrictions on the outside of the palace, the stream next to it is a running water that leads directly to the pond inside the palace, connected by a ditch in the middle.The ditch is very narrow, and people must not be able to pass through it, but... it can't stop the fox.
Shu Lingjia pulled Wei Meng out with his backhand, and was about to nail it into the small ditch, when he suddenly stopped and said, "I sensed the killing intent from your sword breath."
The mighty blade was trembling slightly, but after hearing what Shu Lingjia said, it froze immediately.
Shu Lingjia said: "But I also feel that you are suppressing your killing intent, do you hate the nightmare?"
After all, Zong Wuxin is a nightmare. It was Duan Haoyan who wanted to treat Duan Se at the beginning, so he got in touch with him, and gradually lost his mind. It's easy to think about the past again.
Wei Meng is originally an evil sword, and the deep hostility cannot be eliminated overnight, but now that Shu Lingjia is its master, it can't hurt people as it pleases, and can only be carefully suppressed as if it is afraid of being rejected. ferocious.
Shu Lingjia stroked the flickering blade of the long sword, and said: "Your greatest enemy is your father, who is dead, and your greatest bond is your mother, who has also been reincarnated. Now in this world, I am the only one who knows about your past, and you are also by my side and have seen many of my embarrassing swords."
"Do you think every choice I make is correct?"
Wei Meng stood still, not even the sword light flickering, as if he was thinking. After a while, it raised the edge of the sword and made a movement like "returning the sheath".
Shu Lingjia said: "You don't know if it's right, but you choose to follow me?"
He smiled and said, "Actually, I don't know if it's right."
Under the purple sky and daylight of the Demon Realm, a wind howled, blowing Shu Lingjia's white clothes.The time he went to look for the evil sword, he was also dressed in white, sharp and flowing, which shocked the starlight in the sky.
But now, with the same person and similar clothes, his demeanor is less innocent and childish, and more stern and gloomy.
Shu Lingjia followed the mighty sword's breath with spiritual power, and said: "Let's go, as long as you move forward according to your own will, even if you step through a pool of blood, there will be a galaxy in front of you."
He stabbed his sword into the shallow ditch, and the cold sword energy immediately froze a layer of ice on the surface of the water inside.
Shu Lingjia turned into a petite fox and jumped onto the ice, ran over with a whoosh, and passed through the palace smoothly.
He didn't know what was going on inside, and he was afraid of being discovered. Fortunately, he came up from the pond, and the side was already covered with lush weeds and wild flowers.
The little fox crawled carefully among the weeds for a while, seeing that there was really no movement around, and then crawled out from the other side along a gap in a bush.
After Shu Lingjia was covered with grass leaves, flowers and dew, he got out of the bushes, shook his fur vigorously, threw these messy things all over the ground, and turned into a clean fox again.
He looked around, and found that not far in front of him was the dormitory where Luo Xiao lived last time, and the window was still half open, as if someone would poke his head out of it at any time and look at the scenery.
Shu Lingjiatu was small and convenient, and he didn't change back to his human form. He jumped onto the window sill, quickly hid behind the window, and smashed a small stone next to him through the gap in the window with one claw.
Hearing the stones falling into the room, the bones rolled a few times and then stopped moving, and there was no sound in the room, so he pushed open the window and jumped into the room.
He had also been to this place last time, but it was attached to Luo Xiao's body at that time. Now that he has turned into a fox, he has to look up at everything, the perspective has changed, and the feeling of looking around is also different.
Standing on the thick carpet, Shu Lingjia looked up at the soft and spacious big bed, the incense burner on the Duobaoge, the saber hanging on the wall, and a shelf full of books. Very subtle feeling.
Not that vision, he felt as if he had been to this place as a fox.
Also this position, also this angle.
An inexplicable picture appeared in Shu Lingjia's mind. A pure white little fox fell asleep lying on his side on the soft carpet. Looking around, he yawned lazily.
Someone came in, squatted beside him, touched his ears tenderly, and brought a dish of fragrant flower dew to his face.
Shu Lingjia lowered his head and drank water from the saucer. After drinking, the man wiped his mouth with his hands.
A ray of skylight from outside the window quietly shone on the ground, making him warm all over, as if even the sweet taste of flower dew in his mouth was still in his memory, but Shu Lingjia had no impression that he had ever been here.
And he wasn't pure white before.
This feeling of being unable to grasp and touch made him a little upset, he couldn't help but raised his paw, and rubbed his head.
The ears were pressed down by him, and then stood up again, but there was still no clue in my heart.
Shu Lingjia couldn't help imitating the appearance of the little fox in his memory. He lay on his side on the carpet and closed his eyes. After a while, he opened his eyes and stood up, walking towards the outside of the dormitory.
According to instinctive habits, Shu Lingjia left the dormitory, turned to the right again, walked through the corridor garden and the stream, and saw another warm pavilion.
He entered the most central room inside and found that it was a study.
There is a roll of open books on the desk, and there are pens and inkstones beside it. Because of the magic preservation, even after hundreds of years, the books are still free of dust, and the inkstone is filled with ink.
Shu Lingjia jumped on the table, ran to the book and took a look, and found that it was a chronicle about the demons, which introduced the topography, customs, and specialties of exotic animals.
He flipped through a few pages with his paws, and saw that almost every page had some comments written in Luo Xiao's handwriting. He seemed to read it in great detail, and proposed many very insightful strategies for some problems. .
It can be seen from this that Luo Xiao's struggle for power is not only to satisfy his desire to prove himself, but he really has the ambition to realize it, and he also has the corresponding ability. He was born in the emperor's family and is the eldest son .
It's only half a step away from everything. If you can't use it, it's too normal to be unwilling.
Shu Lingjia couldn't help but sighed slightly, thinking whether to take this book away with her, and show it to Luo Xiao when she meets Luo Xiao, so as to persuade him not to get involved with Yan Yu.
Luo Xiao essentially wants to manage the demons better, while Yan Yu intends to take revenge on everyone, they are not in the same way at all.
While thinking, Shu Lingjia casually turned the page with his paws, and then he froze instantly.
There is nothing unusual in the content of the next page, and the annotations are still there, but there is a small plum blossom-shaped footprint printed with ink in the blank space at the corner of the page.
Shu Lingjia raised her paw and turned it over, looked down at the pad on it, and then slowly printed it on the plum blossom seal, and found that it was completely overlapped.
A coolness spread from the top of the head to the tip of the tail, the little fox's fur all over his body exploded, and he couldn't help sneezing.
Shu Lingjia raised his paw, dipped it in the ink in the inkstone next to it, and then pressed it next to the previous paw print.
After he moved his paw away, he was startled to see two almost identical marks.
This feeling of horror that obviously seems to be his own personal experience, but he has no impression at all, he has experienced it many times with Jing Feitong, and now he has long accepted the fact that he still has a past.
But this time it was with the Demon Race, and it was with Luo Xiao...how could it be?
He couldn't even know Luo Xiao before he went to Lingxiao faction, could he?Besides, if they really knew each other, how could Luo Xiao not tell him?
Could it be that Luo Xiao was hiding something from him?Or is there a bigger conspiracy behind this?
If it was in the past, Shu Lingjia would definitely not think so, but even He Zizhuo, who he regarded as his biological father, used and deceived him. Who in this world can trust him?
At this moment, Shu Lingjia turned her ears, and suddenly sensed a very slight change in the air flow in the air. It sounded like someone was approaching here.
He turned around, and before he could turn back into a human form, he saw Luo Xiao appearing at the door.
The sword in Luo Xiao's hand was ready to strike.
He came here when he heard the commotion here, and originally thought that no matter who broke in, he would go straight there and kill them with a sword, but he didn't expect that the one who appeared in his study at this time was actually such a one lying on the table. little fox.
The sword in Luo Xiao's hand also froze all of a sudden, and his expression was suddenly in a trance. At that moment, he almost thought that time had gone back, and he blurted out: "Xiao Qi?"
Shu Lingjia was startled, and said, "What?"
When he spoke like this, Luo Xiao's expression froze, and then he heard his voice: "Ling Jia, is it you?"
Shu Lingjia jumped off the table, turned into a human again, stood in front of Luo Xiao, and said, "Elder brother."
Luo Xiao's gaze was still puzzled and hesitant, he swept him from head to toe, and then looked at his right hand.
He found a point in the confusion and asked, "What's wrong with your hand? Poisoned?"
It was Shu Lingjia who pressed his paw into the inkstone just now. At this time, his palm was also black. Shu Lingjia coughed and said, "No, I accidentally rubbed the ink."
As he spoke, he cast a cleansing charm and wiped the ink off his hands.
Luo Xiao asked again: "I looked at your tail just now, why does it seem to be white too? It wasn't before."
Shu Lingjia was suddenly poked into something sad by him, and said unnaturally: "...I dyed it, and occasionally change the color."
Luo Xiao: "..."
The two stood silently facing each other for a while, but he did not put down the sword in his hand. After a while, he said slowly, "So, what are you here for?"
Shu Lingjia said, "What about you?"
Luo Xiao smiled and said: "Didn't I tell you before? Everyone thinks that I am in poor health and embarrassing, so I will do something big and let them see. Now that I am not ambitious How can we not work hard for the reward.”
Shu Lingjia said: "Brother, you remember what you said so clearly, so do you still remember my answer at that time? I said I would help you. But if you don't tell me anything, how can I help?"
Luo Xiao hid his real identity from Shu Lingjia for so long, thinking that he must be very angry, and would reprimand and question him when he met, but he didn't expect to hear such words, and he was speechless for a while.
But soon, he regained his composure and said, "You can't help me. Different ways don't conspire with each other, just like the previous incident, if I told you that I was with Yan Yu and plotted against Lu Zhang and Head He, Will you still support me?"
Shu Lingjia frowned and said, "The way is different, but to achieve the goal, there are actually many ways to choose. You know who Yan Yu is better than me, and you are not the same kind of person as him, so you have to find him to cooperate?"
Luo Xiao laughed when he heard him say that, and said, "How do you know that we are not the same kind of people?"
He wiped the long sword in his hand and put it back into its sheath, walked a few steps with his hands behind his back, then turned around, looked at Shu Lingjia and said, "Don't forget, Yan Yu and I are blood brothers , It is only natural to conspire with great things, and it is perfect. I am a demon, how can I have a good impression of you immortal monks?"
Shu Lingjia said: "Let's go over..."
"At this point, let's not talk about the past. Since we are already destined to be enemies, let me tell you the truth. I treat you well not because of you, but because my younger brother was also born to a fox woman and disappeared since childhood." , is very similar to you, which makes me feel a little kind."
Luo Xiao waved his hand and sighed: "I first turned against the Demon Race, and then tried to overthrow Ling Xiao. In order to achieve my goal, I never hesitated to give up anything. What is our little love? I don't need it." You are thinking about it, just don’t get in the way of my business today, let’s go.”
Now that Shu Lingjia has gone through a lot of trials and tribulations, he is not moved after hearing this, and said: "It's not that I am looking for you alone, and someone else will come after I leave."
Luo Xiao understood it as soon as he turned his head, and said with a sneer, "It's Diehui and the others?"
Shu Lingjia said: "Senior Brother, aren't you very smart? Why are you always rushing to scold me? You clearly know that Yan Yu is the dangerous person that everyone wants to deal with unanimously compared to your little things. I don't know how much benefit you can get from meddling with him, but half of his guilt will be clearly divided, will you lose money?"
Luo Xiao was silent for a moment, then suddenly said: "Do you know why I left the Demon Race back then?"
Shu Lingjia seldom spends so much time talking with others, and now he just wants to slap Luo Xiao unconscious and take him away, but now he has no other way, it's rare to pry the other party's mouth away a little, so he can only let it go I said it.
Shu Lingjia said: "I have heard a little bit. I heard that after the Demon Emperor retreated, you acted as the regent, but because someone gathered a crowd to write a letter, using your physical condition as an excuse to support the second prince. In a rage, you resigned and left. gone."
Luo Xiao said: "That's just part of it. If it's just that, as long as I know my physical condition, how can other people's words shake me? But then another thing happened, someone searched my palace A bodyguard identified him as a member of the rebel party during an incident that year, and used this to criticize me for plotting to rebel and seize power."
Shu Lingjia said: "Did someone deliberately frame you up and arrange someone in?"
Luo Xiao said: "Whether someone deliberately framed it, or I was negligent in checking the gates and was magnified by others, I don't know, but because of this incident, I have been given such a reputation. I have worked hard in the past. Once the accumulated good reputation is destroyed, no matter how you explain and counter-evidence, it will not be worth echoing what others say, and everyone will win gold."
Shu Lingjia was silent for a moment.
He completely understood what Luo Xiao meant.
In fact, sometimes, it is really easy to ruin a person's reputation, and rumors and slander are the most despicable but also the most effective means.
After all, everyone has a curiosity-seeking mentality. When the matter is not related to them, when they hear some so-called "inside information", they spread it everywhere.
The more evil and outrageous this matter is, the more exciting it is. Instead, they don't care about the truth. Even if it is clarified, no one will listen to it.
This incident will not cause a fatal blow to Luo Xiao, but it will definitely make him very sad, so he chooses to leave voluntarily.
Luo Xiao said: "I have experienced this kind of thing, so I also know that it is the same reason now. The matter has already begun, and there is no reason to stop halfway! Don't expect extravagant emotional trust, only if you are strong enough to use strength Absolutely suppressing dissenting voices is truly indestructible success."
He nodded to Shu Lingjia, and let him open the door: "I'll say it again for the last time, you and I will never be friends again, don't call me senior brother, let's leave quickly!"
Seeing that the persuasion was unsuccessful, Shu Lingjia also lost the patience to continue wasting his tongue. He raised his hand and slowly touched his scabbard.
Luo Xiao sneered and said, "Finally revealed your true purpose, are you going to kill me and eliminate harm for the people?"
Shu Lingjia said: "I don't want to talk nonsense with you, just call if you can't agree, I—"
At this moment, Shu Lingjia suddenly heard something "wiping" and before he could distinguish it, he felt a pain in his chest, followed by a chill.
At that moment, his mind was almost blank, and he lowered his head, only to see that a deep wound had appeared on his chest, and blood gushed out in an instant.
Shu Lingjia shook her body, covered her chest, and knelt down on one knee, spraying a mouthful of blood on the ground.
There was no warning about this change, neither he nor Luo Xiao expected it, Luo Xiao turned pale with shock and blurted out: "Ling Jia!"
He rushed in front of Shu Lingjia, and was about to bend down to help him, when a thought suddenly flashed in his mind.
Luo Xiao thought to himself, if he was pretending, I might be ambushed by him as soon as I passed by.
But at the same time, another sentence flashed in his mind - Shu Lingjia would not do this.
While hesitating, Shu Lingjia gasped for breath and coughed twice, blood gurgling from between his fingers.
Luo Xiao didn't want to think too much anymore, leaned over to hold him up, hit a few acupoints to stop the bleeding, and asked, "What's going on?"
Shu Lingjia's head was covered with cold sweat, his face was pale, and he couldn't speak for a while.
At this time, the two heard a voice from outside the door, and said with a light smile: "Brother, are you satisfied with me getting rid of this troublesome boy for you?"
Shu Lingjia and Luo Xiao raised their heads at the same time, looked at Mingxiao—or Yan Yu, who walked in slowly from outside, and smiled at Shu Lingjia.
Luo Xiao said angrily: "Who asked you to help me get rid of him! I don't need you to be troublesome!"
Yan Yu spread his hands indifferently, and said: "Brother, why are you so anxious? It doesn't seem to do you any harm, but he is going to fight with you. Do I still let you compete in this showdown, and then attract others? are you coming?"
Luo Xiao said coldly: "This is my business."
Yan Yu said: "Don't forget what I told you, he has the luck of Dzogchen fate. Now I have got half of it in my hand, as long as I kill Shu Lingjia and get the other half, what will happen to you and me?" Worried about the failure of major events? There are thousands of plans, but the most critical step is this step!"
When he said this, he had completely revealed his ferocious true colors, and struck out at Shu Lingjia Tianling with his palm.
Luo Xiao's heart tightened, he blocked him without thinking, and shouted: "Yan Yu!"
"Are you really going to stop me?"
Yan Yu also became a little impatient, and said: "I exposed my intention to kill him, and I can no longer cause future troubles. He must die today. You were not afraid to use him before, so why are you pretending to be a good brother at this time?" !"
He just wanted to kill Shu Lingjia completely with one palm, and seize the remaining half of his luck, but Luo Xiao instinctively stopped Shu Lingjia to block a few moves, but his heart was also full of emotions, which was quite complicated.
The growth period of the Mozu is relatively slow, so it is easy to cause misunderstandings by others. In fact, since he came to Lingxiao, he is no longer a boy who has never experienced wind and rain.
Luo Xiao has experienced fighting for power and selfish desires, and he has also learned to be unscrupulous and ruthless in the process. Only in this way can he live a better life. This is the best lesson he has learned from those setbacks.
Yan Yu was right, his goal was to become the master of the entire Qi Sect first, and then create turmoil for the Xin Sect, taking the opportunity to unify the two factions of the Heart Sect and the Qi Sect, so that they could become forces under his command.
But He Zizhuo showed several times that he wanted Shu Lingjia to succeed him, which made Luo Xiao always jealous of this junior.
However, in the whole sect, Shu Lingjia has the best relationship with him, and also has the most trust in him. Shu Lingjia's ability, if used properly, is another very useful weapon for him.
Prevention, utilization, deception, concealment... Only these methods can achieve the desired goal, but why, at this time, he has to stand up and stand in front of Shu Lingjia thanklessly?
He doesn't care about his own brothers anymore, and this is just a junior, so why do he care?
Luo Xiao was in a trance, and suddenly didn't want to fight anymore, lost his fighting spirit, and was almost hit by Yan Yu.
Luo Xiao took a few steps back, aware of the abnormality in his emotions.
So many years of resentment and resentment, together with the desire for success, all flooded into my heart, as if pulling his arm, preventing him from moving.
A voice said in his mind: "You have worked so hard for so many years, and you can't turn back. You must go forward in big strides. How can you be tied down in such a place? Shu Lingjia is dead, and there is nothing in front of you." There is no one in the way, you are doing your best if you don't do anything, what are you doing to protect him? Are you crazy?!"
Luo Xiao swung his sword upwards, using his own devilish energy to control Ling Xiao's sword moves, the surroundings suddenly burst into light, and the sword clang sounded, which made him a little vigilant, and at the same time forced Yan Yu to temporarily defend.
Yan Yu said: "Luo Xiao, there is no turning back when you open the bow, you are destined not to be a good person! You think you are desperately protecting him now, who would know? Find out, you are the one who harmed him by cooperating with me! Even if you take Shu Ling Jia rescued him, maybe he died of serious injuries on the way, and others will point you out as the murderer!"
Every word he said hit Luo Xiao's heart: "Just like you worked hard for the demons back then, isn't it the same that no one sees your hard work and thinks that you are ambitious about that position? Will this happen?" It's too late to be a good senior brother!"
Luo Xiao scolded: "Shut up!"
Diehui's place is mainly gorgeous and elegant, while the overall tone of Luoxiao's palace is more elegant and quiet, with fewer treasures and decorations, but lush vegetation.
When Shu Lingjia came here for the first time, he felt a little familiar, but he didn't think about it deeply. Only then did he realize that the style here is actually very similar to the courtyard where Luo Xiao lived in the Lingxiao faction.
If a person hates his past very much, then after leaving the old place, he must consciously discard all familiar things, but Luo Xiao kept the habit. This at least proves that he has no hatred for the demons. Probably more of a regret that the ambition has not been fulfilled.
The palace has been banned since the day Luo Xiao left, and no one has ever entered it. Only outside the golden red gate, fallen flowers are silent, covered with moss on the ground.
It is not difficult for Jing Feitong and Shu Lingjia to forcibly break this restriction, but it is too much noise, if someone is really hiding in the palace, it will inevitably startle the snake.
Shu Lingjia observed the surrounding terrain, his heart moved, he turned and smiled at Jing Feitong and said, "I have a way, but I can only enter, not you..."
When he said this, he suddenly heard a "cracking" sound not far from him, as if something was cracking.
Shu Lingjia suddenly turned his head to look in that direction, and at the same time, Jing Feitong had already moved to his side in an instant, grabbed Shu Lingjia's arm, and said in a low voice: "Be careful, it seems to be coming from the ground. The movement that came."
As soon as he finished speaking, the ground in front of the two of them had already slammed, and a large piece sank.
Jing Feitong pulled Shu Lingjia back a few steps, raised his sleeves to cover his face.
The wind was mixed with a smell of blood, dust and gravel were thrown up, and amidst the smoke and dust in the sky, they felt the evil thoughts that Chao Ji said at the same time.
At the same time, a black shadow emerged from the ground depression, and then flew towards the western sky at an extremely fast speed.
Jing Feitong grabbed Shu Lingjia and didn't let go, patted the scabbard with the other hand, and shouted: "Get out of the scabbard!"
His long sword came out in response to the sound, and flew towards the black shadow like a stream of light. With a flash of brilliance, it had already cut the thing in half.
The moment the sword light illuminated the black shadow, both Jing Feitong and Shu Lingjia vaguely saw that the thing looked like a human being, broke in two and fell downwards, and could still see its arms and legs dancing wildly.
But the falling trend is only a moment, Shu Lingjia suddenly said: "Brother, look!"
Jing Feitong's expression also froze suddenly.
Both of them clearly saw that there seemed to be some suction force between the two parts of the body, and they merged into one body all of a sudden, and flew up again.
This time, it's faster.
Jing Feitong's sword is called Qingluan, and he rarely has the opportunity to show off his abilities on weekdays. Since Jing Feitong got to know Shu Lingjia, he sees the mighty sword beating the enemy fiercely every day, and he is very envious .
This time he finally made a meritorious deed, Qingluan was flying down happily, planning to return to his master's embrace to invite a reward, but he turned around and found that the slash was for nothing.
Qingluan lost her face, she was furious immediately, let out a long cry, turned back and chased after him.
Shu Lingjia's mighty power also kept trembling in the sword box, Shu Lingjia patted it and said, "Do you want to show off too? Do you want to do it together?"
From just now, the earth's energy in the Demon Realm has been extremely restless, and rare visions have appeared in the sky, and evil thoughts from unknown sources are overflowing. Obviously, something important must have happened somewhere they don't know.
It happened to be at this time, even if these things were not necessarily done by Luo Xiao, it was uncertain whether they would have anything to do with Yan Yu.
Jing Feitong stopped Shu Lingjia, and hurriedly said, "Wait, the situation is unclear now, so we need to be cautious."
Shu Lingjia said: "It is precisely because the situation is unclear that we have to investigate. Maybe there will be clues!"
Jing Feitong was unwilling to put him in danger, and said decisively: "Then I will go, and you go to your elder brother."
While he was speaking, there was another sound of sword cries from behind the clouds in midair, Jing Feitong also let out a clear whistle, pinched Shu Lingjia's shoulder, and said softly: "It's okay, I'll go back as soon as I go , you must be careful and contact me at any time."
As he spoke, his figure rose instantly.
Shu Lingjia chased after two steps, and raised his voice: "You too, be careful, don't chase too deep!"
Jing Feitong turned his head and waved his hands at him as a signal, and his feet had already stepped on the Qingluan Sword flying out of the clouds.
With him going straight up with his sword, Qingluan's speed was several times faster than before, and in a blink of an eye this person disappeared with a single sword strike.
Shu Lingjia stood on the ground, looked up for a while, then turned around and looked at Luo Xiao's palace again.
He just said that he had found a way that he could get in but Jing Feitong couldn't, and Jing Feitong left, which was quite worry-free.
Shu Lingjia discovered that although there are restrictions on the outside of the palace, the stream next to it is a running water that leads directly to the pond inside the palace, connected by a ditch in the middle.The ditch is very narrow, and people must not be able to pass through it, but... it can't stop the fox.
Shu Lingjia pulled Wei Meng out with his backhand, and was about to nail it into the small ditch, when he suddenly stopped and said, "I sensed the killing intent from your sword breath."
The mighty blade was trembling slightly, but after hearing what Shu Lingjia said, it froze immediately.
Shu Lingjia said: "But I also feel that you are suppressing your killing intent, do you hate the nightmare?"
After all, Zong Wuxin is a nightmare. It was Duan Haoyan who wanted to treat Duan Se at the beginning, so he got in touch with him, and gradually lost his mind. It's easy to think about the past again.
Wei Meng is originally an evil sword, and the deep hostility cannot be eliminated overnight, but now that Shu Lingjia is its master, it can't hurt people as it pleases, and can only be carefully suppressed as if it is afraid of being rejected. ferocious.
Shu Lingjia stroked the flickering blade of the long sword, and said: "Your greatest enemy is your father, who is dead, and your greatest bond is your mother, who has also been reincarnated. Now in this world, I am the only one who knows about your past, and you are also by my side and have seen many of my embarrassing swords."
"Do you think every choice I make is correct?"
Wei Meng stood still, not even the sword light flickering, as if he was thinking. After a while, it raised the edge of the sword and made a movement like "returning the sheath".
Shu Lingjia said: "You don't know if it's right, but you choose to follow me?"
He smiled and said, "Actually, I don't know if it's right."
Under the purple sky and daylight of the Demon Realm, a wind howled, blowing Shu Lingjia's white clothes.The time he went to look for the evil sword, he was also dressed in white, sharp and flowing, which shocked the starlight in the sky.
But now, with the same person and similar clothes, his demeanor is less innocent and childish, and more stern and gloomy.
Shu Lingjia followed the mighty sword's breath with spiritual power, and said: "Let's go, as long as you move forward according to your own will, even if you step through a pool of blood, there will be a galaxy in front of you."
He stabbed his sword into the shallow ditch, and the cold sword energy immediately froze a layer of ice on the surface of the water inside.
Shu Lingjia turned into a petite fox and jumped onto the ice, ran over with a whoosh, and passed through the palace smoothly.
He didn't know what was going on inside, and he was afraid of being discovered. Fortunately, he came up from the pond, and the side was already covered with lush weeds and wild flowers.
The little fox crawled carefully among the weeds for a while, seeing that there was really no movement around, and then crawled out from the other side along a gap in a bush.
After Shu Lingjia was covered with grass leaves, flowers and dew, he got out of the bushes, shook his fur vigorously, threw these messy things all over the ground, and turned into a clean fox again.
He looked around, and found that not far in front of him was the dormitory where Luo Xiao lived last time, and the window was still half open, as if someone would poke his head out of it at any time and look at the scenery.
Shu Lingjiatu was small and convenient, and he didn't change back to his human form. He jumped onto the window sill, quickly hid behind the window, and smashed a small stone next to him through the gap in the window with one claw.
Hearing the stones falling into the room, the bones rolled a few times and then stopped moving, and there was no sound in the room, so he pushed open the window and jumped into the room.
He had also been to this place last time, but it was attached to Luo Xiao's body at that time. Now that he has turned into a fox, he has to look up at everything, the perspective has changed, and the feeling of looking around is also different.
Standing on the thick carpet, Shu Lingjia looked up at the soft and spacious big bed, the incense burner on the Duobaoge, the saber hanging on the wall, and a shelf full of books. Very subtle feeling.
Not that vision, he felt as if he had been to this place as a fox.
Also this position, also this angle.
An inexplicable picture appeared in Shu Lingjia's mind. A pure white little fox fell asleep lying on his side on the soft carpet. Looking around, he yawned lazily.
Someone came in, squatted beside him, touched his ears tenderly, and brought a dish of fragrant flower dew to his face.
Shu Lingjia lowered his head and drank water from the saucer. After drinking, the man wiped his mouth with his hands.
A ray of skylight from outside the window quietly shone on the ground, making him warm all over, as if even the sweet taste of flower dew in his mouth was still in his memory, but Shu Lingjia had no impression that he had ever been here.
And he wasn't pure white before.
This feeling of being unable to grasp and touch made him a little upset, he couldn't help but raised his paw, and rubbed his head.
The ears were pressed down by him, and then stood up again, but there was still no clue in my heart.
Shu Lingjia couldn't help imitating the appearance of the little fox in his memory. He lay on his side on the carpet and closed his eyes. After a while, he opened his eyes and stood up, walking towards the outside of the dormitory.
According to instinctive habits, Shu Lingjia left the dormitory, turned to the right again, walked through the corridor garden and the stream, and saw another warm pavilion.
He entered the most central room inside and found that it was a study.
There is a roll of open books on the desk, and there are pens and inkstones beside it. Because of the magic preservation, even after hundreds of years, the books are still free of dust, and the inkstone is filled with ink.
Shu Lingjia jumped on the table, ran to the book and took a look, and found that it was a chronicle about the demons, which introduced the topography, customs, and specialties of exotic animals.
He flipped through a few pages with his paws, and saw that almost every page had some comments written in Luo Xiao's handwriting. He seemed to read it in great detail, and proposed many very insightful strategies for some problems. .
It can be seen from this that Luo Xiao's struggle for power is not only to satisfy his desire to prove himself, but he really has the ambition to realize it, and he also has the corresponding ability. He was born in the emperor's family and is the eldest son .
It's only half a step away from everything. If you can't use it, it's too normal to be unwilling.
Shu Lingjia couldn't help but sighed slightly, thinking whether to take this book away with her, and show it to Luo Xiao when she meets Luo Xiao, so as to persuade him not to get involved with Yan Yu.
Luo Xiao essentially wants to manage the demons better, while Yan Yu intends to take revenge on everyone, they are not in the same way at all.
While thinking, Shu Lingjia casually turned the page with his paws, and then he froze instantly.
There is nothing unusual in the content of the next page, and the annotations are still there, but there is a small plum blossom-shaped footprint printed with ink in the blank space at the corner of the page.
Shu Lingjia raised her paw and turned it over, looked down at the pad on it, and then slowly printed it on the plum blossom seal, and found that it was completely overlapped.
A coolness spread from the top of the head to the tip of the tail, the little fox's fur all over his body exploded, and he couldn't help sneezing.
Shu Lingjia raised his paw, dipped it in the ink in the inkstone next to it, and then pressed it next to the previous paw print.
After he moved his paw away, he was startled to see two almost identical marks.
This feeling of horror that obviously seems to be his own personal experience, but he has no impression at all, he has experienced it many times with Jing Feitong, and now he has long accepted the fact that he still has a past.
But this time it was with the Demon Race, and it was with Luo Xiao...how could it be?
He couldn't even know Luo Xiao before he went to Lingxiao faction, could he?Besides, if they really knew each other, how could Luo Xiao not tell him?
Could it be that Luo Xiao was hiding something from him?Or is there a bigger conspiracy behind this?
If it was in the past, Shu Lingjia would definitely not think so, but even He Zizhuo, who he regarded as his biological father, used and deceived him. Who in this world can trust him?
At this moment, Shu Lingjia turned her ears, and suddenly sensed a very slight change in the air flow in the air. It sounded like someone was approaching here.
He turned around, and before he could turn back into a human form, he saw Luo Xiao appearing at the door.
The sword in Luo Xiao's hand was ready to strike.
He came here when he heard the commotion here, and originally thought that no matter who broke in, he would go straight there and kill them with a sword, but he didn't expect that the one who appeared in his study at this time was actually such a one lying on the table. little fox.
The sword in Luo Xiao's hand also froze all of a sudden, and his expression was suddenly in a trance. At that moment, he almost thought that time had gone back, and he blurted out: "Xiao Qi?"
Shu Lingjia was startled, and said, "What?"
When he spoke like this, Luo Xiao's expression froze, and then he heard his voice: "Ling Jia, is it you?"
Shu Lingjia jumped off the table, turned into a human again, stood in front of Luo Xiao, and said, "Elder brother."
Luo Xiao's gaze was still puzzled and hesitant, he swept him from head to toe, and then looked at his right hand.
He found a point in the confusion and asked, "What's wrong with your hand? Poisoned?"
It was Shu Lingjia who pressed his paw into the inkstone just now. At this time, his palm was also black. Shu Lingjia coughed and said, "No, I accidentally rubbed the ink."
As he spoke, he cast a cleansing charm and wiped the ink off his hands.
Luo Xiao asked again: "I looked at your tail just now, why does it seem to be white too? It wasn't before."
Shu Lingjia was suddenly poked into something sad by him, and said unnaturally: "...I dyed it, and occasionally change the color."
Luo Xiao: "..."
The two stood silently facing each other for a while, but he did not put down the sword in his hand. After a while, he said slowly, "So, what are you here for?"
Shu Lingjia said, "What about you?"
Luo Xiao smiled and said: "Didn't I tell you before? Everyone thinks that I am in poor health and embarrassing, so I will do something big and let them see. Now that I am not ambitious How can we not work hard for the reward.”
Shu Lingjia said: "Brother, you remember what you said so clearly, so do you still remember my answer at that time? I said I would help you. But if you don't tell me anything, how can I help?"
Luo Xiao hid his real identity from Shu Lingjia for so long, thinking that he must be very angry, and would reprimand and question him when he met, but he didn't expect to hear such words, and he was speechless for a while.
But soon, he regained his composure and said, "You can't help me. Different ways don't conspire with each other, just like the previous incident, if I told you that I was with Yan Yu and plotted against Lu Zhang and Head He, Will you still support me?"
Shu Lingjia frowned and said, "The way is different, but to achieve the goal, there are actually many ways to choose. You know who Yan Yu is better than me, and you are not the same kind of person as him, so you have to find him to cooperate?"
Luo Xiao laughed when he heard him say that, and said, "How do you know that we are not the same kind of people?"
He wiped the long sword in his hand and put it back into its sheath, walked a few steps with his hands behind his back, then turned around, looked at Shu Lingjia and said, "Don't forget, Yan Yu and I are blood brothers , It is only natural to conspire with great things, and it is perfect. I am a demon, how can I have a good impression of you immortal monks?"
Shu Lingjia said: "Let's go over..."
"At this point, let's not talk about the past. Since we are already destined to be enemies, let me tell you the truth. I treat you well not because of you, but because my younger brother was also born to a fox woman and disappeared since childhood." , is very similar to you, which makes me feel a little kind."
Luo Xiao waved his hand and sighed: "I first turned against the Demon Race, and then tried to overthrow Ling Xiao. In order to achieve my goal, I never hesitated to give up anything. What is our little love? I don't need it." You are thinking about it, just don’t get in the way of my business today, let’s go.”
Now that Shu Lingjia has gone through a lot of trials and tribulations, he is not moved after hearing this, and said: "It's not that I am looking for you alone, and someone else will come after I leave."
Luo Xiao understood it as soon as he turned his head, and said with a sneer, "It's Diehui and the others?"
Shu Lingjia said: "Senior Brother, aren't you very smart? Why are you always rushing to scold me? You clearly know that Yan Yu is the dangerous person that everyone wants to deal with unanimously compared to your little things. I don't know how much benefit you can get from meddling with him, but half of his guilt will be clearly divided, will you lose money?"
Luo Xiao was silent for a moment, then suddenly said: "Do you know why I left the Demon Race back then?"
Shu Lingjia seldom spends so much time talking with others, and now he just wants to slap Luo Xiao unconscious and take him away, but now he has no other way, it's rare to pry the other party's mouth away a little, so he can only let it go I said it.
Shu Lingjia said: "I have heard a little bit. I heard that after the Demon Emperor retreated, you acted as the regent, but because someone gathered a crowd to write a letter, using your physical condition as an excuse to support the second prince. In a rage, you resigned and left. gone."
Luo Xiao said: "That's just part of it. If it's just that, as long as I know my physical condition, how can other people's words shake me? But then another thing happened, someone searched my palace A bodyguard identified him as a member of the rebel party during an incident that year, and used this to criticize me for plotting to rebel and seize power."
Shu Lingjia said: "Did someone deliberately frame you up and arrange someone in?"
Luo Xiao said: "Whether someone deliberately framed it, or I was negligent in checking the gates and was magnified by others, I don't know, but because of this incident, I have been given such a reputation. I have worked hard in the past. Once the accumulated good reputation is destroyed, no matter how you explain and counter-evidence, it will not be worth echoing what others say, and everyone will win gold."
Shu Lingjia was silent for a moment.
He completely understood what Luo Xiao meant.
In fact, sometimes, it is really easy to ruin a person's reputation, and rumors and slander are the most despicable but also the most effective means.
After all, everyone has a curiosity-seeking mentality. When the matter is not related to them, when they hear some so-called "inside information", they spread it everywhere.
The more evil and outrageous this matter is, the more exciting it is. Instead, they don't care about the truth. Even if it is clarified, no one will listen to it.
This incident will not cause a fatal blow to Luo Xiao, but it will definitely make him very sad, so he chooses to leave voluntarily.
Luo Xiao said: "I have experienced this kind of thing, so I also know that it is the same reason now. The matter has already begun, and there is no reason to stop halfway! Don't expect extravagant emotional trust, only if you are strong enough to use strength Absolutely suppressing dissenting voices is truly indestructible success."
He nodded to Shu Lingjia, and let him open the door: "I'll say it again for the last time, you and I will never be friends again, don't call me senior brother, let's leave quickly!"
Seeing that the persuasion was unsuccessful, Shu Lingjia also lost the patience to continue wasting his tongue. He raised his hand and slowly touched his scabbard.
Luo Xiao sneered and said, "Finally revealed your true purpose, are you going to kill me and eliminate harm for the people?"
Shu Lingjia said: "I don't want to talk nonsense with you, just call if you can't agree, I—"
At this moment, Shu Lingjia suddenly heard something "wiping" and before he could distinguish it, he felt a pain in his chest, followed by a chill.
At that moment, his mind was almost blank, and he lowered his head, only to see that a deep wound had appeared on his chest, and blood gushed out in an instant.
Shu Lingjia shook her body, covered her chest, and knelt down on one knee, spraying a mouthful of blood on the ground.
There was no warning about this change, neither he nor Luo Xiao expected it, Luo Xiao turned pale with shock and blurted out: "Ling Jia!"
He rushed in front of Shu Lingjia, and was about to bend down to help him, when a thought suddenly flashed in his mind.
Luo Xiao thought to himself, if he was pretending, I might be ambushed by him as soon as I passed by.
But at the same time, another sentence flashed in his mind - Shu Lingjia would not do this.
While hesitating, Shu Lingjia gasped for breath and coughed twice, blood gurgling from between his fingers.
Luo Xiao didn't want to think too much anymore, leaned over to hold him up, hit a few acupoints to stop the bleeding, and asked, "What's going on?"
Shu Lingjia's head was covered with cold sweat, his face was pale, and he couldn't speak for a while.
At this time, the two heard a voice from outside the door, and said with a light smile: "Brother, are you satisfied with me getting rid of this troublesome boy for you?"
Shu Lingjia and Luo Xiao raised their heads at the same time, looked at Mingxiao—or Yan Yu, who walked in slowly from outside, and smiled at Shu Lingjia.
Luo Xiao said angrily: "Who asked you to help me get rid of him! I don't need you to be troublesome!"
Yan Yu spread his hands indifferently, and said: "Brother, why are you so anxious? It doesn't seem to do you any harm, but he is going to fight with you. Do I still let you compete in this showdown, and then attract others? are you coming?"
Luo Xiao said coldly: "This is my business."
Yan Yu said: "Don't forget what I told you, he has the luck of Dzogchen fate. Now I have got half of it in my hand, as long as I kill Shu Lingjia and get the other half, what will happen to you and me?" Worried about the failure of major events? There are thousands of plans, but the most critical step is this step!"
When he said this, he had completely revealed his ferocious true colors, and struck out at Shu Lingjia Tianling with his palm.
Luo Xiao's heart tightened, he blocked him without thinking, and shouted: "Yan Yu!"
"Are you really going to stop me?"
Yan Yu also became a little impatient, and said: "I exposed my intention to kill him, and I can no longer cause future troubles. He must die today. You were not afraid to use him before, so why are you pretending to be a good brother at this time?" !"
He just wanted to kill Shu Lingjia completely with one palm, and seize the remaining half of his luck, but Luo Xiao instinctively stopped Shu Lingjia to block a few moves, but his heart was also full of emotions, which was quite complicated.
The growth period of the Mozu is relatively slow, so it is easy to cause misunderstandings by others. In fact, since he came to Lingxiao, he is no longer a boy who has never experienced wind and rain.
Luo Xiao has experienced fighting for power and selfish desires, and he has also learned to be unscrupulous and ruthless in the process. Only in this way can he live a better life. This is the best lesson he has learned from those setbacks.
Yan Yu was right, his goal was to become the master of the entire Qi Sect first, and then create turmoil for the Xin Sect, taking the opportunity to unify the two factions of the Heart Sect and the Qi Sect, so that they could become forces under his command.
But He Zizhuo showed several times that he wanted Shu Lingjia to succeed him, which made Luo Xiao always jealous of this junior.
However, in the whole sect, Shu Lingjia has the best relationship with him, and also has the most trust in him. Shu Lingjia's ability, if used properly, is another very useful weapon for him.
Prevention, utilization, deception, concealment... Only these methods can achieve the desired goal, but why, at this time, he has to stand up and stand in front of Shu Lingjia thanklessly?
He doesn't care about his own brothers anymore, and this is just a junior, so why do he care?
Luo Xiao was in a trance, and suddenly didn't want to fight anymore, lost his fighting spirit, and was almost hit by Yan Yu.
Luo Xiao took a few steps back, aware of the abnormality in his emotions.
So many years of resentment and resentment, together with the desire for success, all flooded into my heart, as if pulling his arm, preventing him from moving.
A voice said in his mind: "You have worked so hard for so many years, and you can't turn back. You must go forward in big strides. How can you be tied down in such a place? Shu Lingjia is dead, and there is nothing in front of you." There is no one in the way, you are doing your best if you don't do anything, what are you doing to protect him? Are you crazy?!"
Luo Xiao swung his sword upwards, using his own devilish energy to control Ling Xiao's sword moves, the surroundings suddenly burst into light, and the sword clang sounded, which made him a little vigilant, and at the same time forced Yan Yu to temporarily defend.
Yan Yu said: "Luo Xiao, there is no turning back when you open the bow, you are destined not to be a good person! You think you are desperately protecting him now, who would know? Find out, you are the one who harmed him by cooperating with me! Even if you take Shu Ling Jia rescued him, maybe he died of serious injuries on the way, and others will point you out as the murderer!"
Every word he said hit Luo Xiao's heart: "Just like you worked hard for the demons back then, isn't it the same that no one sees your hard work and thinks that you are ambitious about that position? Will this happen?" It's too late to be a good senior brother!"
Luo Xiao scolded: "Shut up!"
