The Legend of the Royal Cat

Chapter 53 Blood is thicker than water

On the top of the snow ridge, the ice palace is built next to the mountain, and the ice reflects the harsh cold light under the cold sun

The time is coming, but he really didn't come, hum, all men in the world are the same!Xueer, my mother will help you, and you have to survive this calamity on your own!Leng Ruyue quietly guarded the door of the secret room, and put away the soul in her hand——

Zhan Zhao only felt that his limbs were getting numb and cold, and it was difficult to use his inner strength to warm him up. He wanted to take a big breath, but he was choked by the cold air and coughed dryly. Xueer, you must—wait for me!The closer you get to the peak, the more you have no way to go. The mountain roads, cliffs, and cracks in front of you are completely covered under the thick snow. If you step on it, you will live or die!Zhan Zhao shook his head which was drowsy due to lack of oxygen, raised his breath again, and flew towards the peak through the snow—the snow fell into the abyss one after another behind him. Finally, with the last leap, Zhan Zhao saw the icy palace, and couldn't hold back his mouthful of fishy sweetness, dyeing the white snow a glaring red.

Actually, did you really come? !Zhan Zhao, you chose the path yourself, so I can't complain!I just want Ruxue to live carefree, at any cost!There was an icy chill in Leng Ruyue's eyes, and You Lan's soul had once again glowed strangely.

"Who? How dare you trespass on the Ice Palace!" With a cold shout, the palace door slowly opened, and Leng Ruyue appeared in front of Zhan Zhao. On Ruyue, she looks like a fairy in the moon.

"Junior Zhan Zhao, I didn't intend to offend senior, and I didn't trespass on the forbidden area, but came here as promised!" Zhan Zhao secretly suppressed the turbulent blood, and replied, for some reason, he always felt that this fairy-like enemy in front of him was a threat to him. feel different.

"Come here according to the appointment? - what agreement?" When seeing Zhan Zhao clearly for the first time, Leng Ruyue couldn't help but be surprised, those eyes - why are they so familiar? !Through those clear and resolute eyes, one can even see that pure soul, full of righteousness——

"The promise with Xue'er - no matter what happens, I will face it with her, nothing can separate us! Senior, please let me see Xue'er!" Zhan Zhao replied sincerely.

"Hahahaha—this is really the funniest agreement I have ever heard. There is no true love in this world, there is only deception and betrayal!—I am the guardian of the Ice Palace, Dead Water, have you ever seen dead water with waves? Is it? So, I won't let you see Ruxue, unless you can pass my test!" Leng Ruyue was suddenly curious, wondering how long Zhan Zhao's persistence in that vow would last.

"Senior Shishui, this junior really doesn't want to meet you in battle, but—I have to see Xue'er, so I'm offended!" Zhan Zhao said firmly, but, why is his heart cramping abnormally!

"Okay! Let me see how the world-renowned Nan Xia has the ability to swear to each other with our saint!" The wind was blowing lightly, hair was flying, cloud sleeves were fluttering, and the murderous intent was already evident.

Zhan Zhao knew that although Shi Shui's cultivation was not as good as that of the Great Protector, it was far above his own, but he did it knowing that he couldn't do it.Zhan Zhao concentrated his strength, Ju Que was out of its sheath, and the scabbard was inserted obliquely into the snow.Leng Ruyue sneered, her cloud sleeves fluttered lightly, the person had swept several feet away and directly attacked Zhan Zhao's throat, Zhan Zhao narrowly avoided it with a shot of Yan Flying, turned around and backhanded a sword, and chased after Ruyue's heart.Leng Ruyue didn't look back, his sleeves stretched across the sky, causing snow to rise up into the sky, Yun Xiu hit Zhan Zhao's right hand holding the sword again, Zhan Zhao turned his wrist and withdrew the sword, when Yun Xiu hit the air, Zhan Zhao Zhaoji took advantage of the momentum and stepped up his sleeves, his sword energy approached Leng Ruyue who was hanging in mid-air.Yunjuan Jiaolong, another cloud sleeve has swept over, tightly wrapped around Zhan Zhao's waist, shaking his wrists, Zhan Zhao felt suffocated for a while, couldn't break free for a while, and was slammed by the cloud sleeve on the cliff.The huge impact made Zhan Zhao's eyes go dark. He clasped the cliff with one hand and stabilized his figure. Feeling the murderous aura approaching, Zhan Zhao simply closed his eyes.Have you resigned so soon?Zhan Zhao, you have disappointed me so much!Leng Ruyue snorted coldly, Yun Xiu had already struck out to crush Zhan Zhao Tianling.Clearly feeling the cold wind approaching, Zhan Zhao secretly calculated the distance and time in his heart. At the very moment, Zhan Zhao opened his eyes, Juque met the cloud sleeve, let go of his left hand that was holding on to the cliff, and flew up to meet Leng Ruyue. , the cloud sleeve that the giant que passed split into two!What a reckless boy!The chill in Leng Ruyue's palm condensed, and he just waited for Zhan Zhao to kill him with a single palm when he attacked at close range.The sword qi cut his sleeves, but it was sharp but not murderous. A layer of ice formed in front of Leng Ruyue's body to block the sword qi, "Zhan Zhao, you are defeated!" Bending, the tip of the sword immediately pierced Zhan Zhao's left pipa bone. Seeing Zhan Zhao grunting in pain, but still not giving up in his eyes, Leng Ruyue slapped Zhan Zhao's heart again, and gradually lost consciousness as the cold air intensified. The lively Zhan Zhao felt a cold pain in his heart as cold as the moon.In an instant, the eyes that had been slowly closed suddenly opened, and they turned out to be blue and empty!Heart-controlling ghost curse!How can it be? !Who broke the seal of the Shadow Palace?Leng Ruyue withdrew his palm suddenly, and Zhan Zhao fell back into the snow, choking out a mouthful of blood, and then gradually regained his consciousness, and pulled out the Ju Que forcefully, with a sharp pain, the blood stained the snow under him.

"Who the hell are you?" Just now, the sealing power of the Bihan Kung made the Heart-Restricting Ghost Curse reappear instinctively to fight back, but it was still suppressed in the end.

"Hey, it doesn't matter who the junior is right now! Please let me see Ruxue, senior!" Zhan Zhao insisted.

"You have already lost! If you had a murderous aura on your sword just now, you are already dead by your own sword! However, you are the first one who can destroy my cloud sleeve. Already hurt quite badly!—Okay, I’ll give you another chance!” Leng Ruyue said coldly, one life for another, and the life of the Shadow Palace avenger in exchange for Xue’er, it shouldn’t be an exaggeration, Leng Ruyue finally He made up his mind to end Zhan Zhao's life!

"Senior, please tell me!" Zhan Zhao sealed the big acupoint on his left neck and shoulder, stopped the blood, and stood up staggeringly.

"If you're willing to drink Soul Death for Xue'er, I'll let you meet each other!" The weird blue liquid was handed to Zhan Zhao, who took it without hesitation, and was about to drink it all in one gulp.

"Wait! - do you know that there is no solution to the death of a soul?"

"I know!" Shuang'er mentioned.

"Then do you know how it is poisoned?"

Zhan Zhao shook his head and smiled faintly: "This junior doesn't know, and he doesn't care! I just ask senior not to tell Xue'er."

Leng Ruyue's heart trembled again, he didn't care about his own life or death, but cared about Xue'er's feelings? !Forcing herself to suppress the unbearable feeling in her heart, Leng Ruyue still said coldly: "You don't have to worry about this, because——the saint has forgotten the love with you after practicing the Rueling Sword. All she remembers is that you are his. Enemy! ——The poison of the dying soul will make people slowly experience the pain of the soul being pulled away from the body. First, they will not be able to speak, and then they will slowly lose their sense of taste, smell, sight, hearing, and finally even the sense of touch will no longer exist. , until you are completely cut off in the dark, will you still be determined to drink?"

"How long do I have?" Zhan Zhao asked indifferently, as if he was asking about someone's death date.

"No one knows, because no one who has swallowed the dead soul can persevere until the end. They are all tortured and mad to death halfway!" Leng Ruyue stared into Zhan Zhao's eyes, hoping to see a trace of melancholy or even fear, but a Thinking of Xue'er, he hoped that he had guessed wrong this time!However, those clear eyes remained firm as before.

"Is that so? That's fine!" As long as there's still enough time, that's fine!If you don’t remember, you won’t be heartbroken anymore!Zhan Zhao looked at the weird Youlan, smiled lightly, and drank the Youlan's cold liquid!Leng Ruyue's mind was in a trance for a while, because she was relieved and relieved when she saw that smile, with no regrets or complaints! In the past 22 years, the stagnant state of mind has been slightly lingering. Am I really wrong?

"Follow me!" Leng Ruyue hid her chaotic mood again with ice coldness.

Ice Palace, in front of the Chamber of Secrets

"The Holy Maiden should be able to leave soon! Wipe off the blood, don't dirty my palace!" Leng Ruyue handed the sweat towel soaked in painkiller juice to Zhan Zhao, her tone still emotionless.

"Thank you, senior!" Although he couldn't figure out the weird temper of Senior Shishui, Zhan Zhao was willing to believe that she was different from the Great Guardian.

"——Zhan Zhao, how old are you this year?" He asked casually, even Leng Ruyue himself was surprised why he asked.

"Huh? Oh, this junior is twenty-two this year! Senior wants to ask Zhan Zhao if he is an avenger from the Shadow Palace, and if he has been to the Palace of the Holy Maiden?" Zhan Zhao replied seriously without noticing Leng Ruyue's strangeness.

"This—yes!" It's about the same age as Xue'er!

"No, at least not in my memory! But I do have the curse of controlling the heart, and I also committed bloody killings! Xue'er used Bihan Gong to help me temporarily seal it in my heart veins, but whenever life and death are at stake, I will still There is that bloodthirsty urge—so, seniors don’t have to—”

"I don't care about your life or death, but if you threaten the Holy Maiden Palace and Xue'er, I will not let you go!" Why, why the moment he saw Zhan Zhao, the calmness of more than 20 years began to waver, this young man Are people disasters or calamities?

Cher?Zhan Zhao muttered to himself, a trace of doubt and speculation gradually emerged, and an imperceptible smile flashed from the corner of his mouth.

At this moment, the door of the secret room burst open, and Ruxue appeared in front of the two holding a sword, with a trace of confusion and strangeness in her eyes, when she saw Zhan Zhao clearly, the sword pierced straight like a dragon—— Zhan Zhao's eyes There was a flash of pain in my heart, I thought I could face it calmly, but when I really met Ruxue's hostile eyes, my heart still hurt!

"Saint, wait a minute! Why did you kill him?" Seeing Zhan Zhao facing Xue'er's sword in a daze, Leng Ruyue still couldn't bear it, and stopped Ruxue.

"He prevented me from completing the task of the master, and, whoever sees the face of the saint, die!"

"Forget about that mission! He may not be able to see the sun tomorrow, and after today, you will no longer be the saint of the Saintess Palace!" Let everything be settled today.

"Xue—the Holy Maiden, Zhan Zhao once promised the Holy Maiden to return the Holy Maiden to justice with Palace Master Kisaragi, and to find out the truth about King Huai's abandonment of his wife and murder of his daughter. Today I bring the answer!" Zhan Zhao stated calmly. , but his eyes were secretly observing the reaction of the dead water, and he saw that slight tremor.

"What's the answer?!"

"Back then, King Huai asked for orders to guard the border, which aroused the suspicion of the late emperor, so he placed an eyeliner beside him, the deputy general Wei Bi. King Huai rescued Palace Master Ruyue and made a private decision with him for life, which made the late emperor furious! And the ceremony of sacrifice to heaven The urgent call to Beijing was just a test, but unfortunately, Prince Huai failed to return to Beijing due to the illness of Palace Master Ruyue, which led to even greater disasters! After King Huai was ordered to enter Beijing again, first The emperor's secret decree also passed to Wei Bi, but King Huai didn't know about it, he didn't even know the fact that he was about to become a father, this was the truth about abandoning his wife and killing his daughter. You have told the truth, this is the secret decree that separated your family from flesh and blood." Handing the secret decree to Ruxue, she watched her trembling unfold the decree, from unbelievable to uncontrollable tears, "Mother , we have been blaming Dad wrongly!"

"Ah—" Shishui suddenly went crazy and tore the secret decree to pieces. The 22 years of torment and separation of flesh and blood were all due to the emperor's self-suspicion!It's ridiculous, stupid! "Ha ha ha ha--"

"The matter is not over yet! Palace Master Ruyue led the crowd to wash the northwest border with blood. This is what King Huai saw when he rushed back to the border. Palace Master Ruyue almost killed King Huai with a sword in the chest! This half of the blood jade At that time, Palace Mistress Ruyue threw it back to King Huai, and she was heartless and determined! King Huai kept it all the time, waiting for her, waiting for the grievances between the two to be resolved, and to give an explanation to the countless dead soldiers and civilians!" Zhan Zhao knew My guess is correct, so whether the doubts of the year can be revealed is here to fight!

"What?" Ruxue looked at the half of the jade that was weeping blood, and couldn't believe that her mother would do such a tragic thing.

"No! Xue'er—I didn't! I didn't kill them!! That half of the blood jade should have been buried deep in the endless desert, together with my heart! After Weibi left in a hurry, he left behind his desperate Me and Yue Nu, my hair turned into silver overnight, I thought I would die like that, but was rescued by a caravan, and then taken in by others. Yue Nu always guarded me for fear that I would do something stupid , I really wanted to die, but looking at the growing belly and feeling your presence, I decided to live on, completely forgetting about that betrayer, until the day you gave birth to dystocia and passed out! When I woke up, I Knowing that your aunt Ruying, who was ordered to arrest me for punishment, has found me, and Yue Nu has disappeared. Ruying promised that I would protect you, so I followed her back here—the one I had tried to escape. Icy world! ——The one who died in the death penalty of ice was the former Sishui. Ruying hid it from everyone, including you. From now on, there is no such thing as cold as the moon in this world, and there is only stagnant water! See you again, my child!" The veil fell, and the stagnant water was gone.

"Mother?——Mother! It's really you!" Ruxue cried and threw herself into Leng Ruyue's arms, her dream for many years finally came true!

"My child, mother is sorry for you!" Finally shedding off the mask and baggage of many years, Leng Ruyue felt that she was really alive again.
