Abandoned Immortals

This is a bustling palace city.

The city walls are several feet high on all sides. The road between the two walls is open and paved with blue stone bricks. The streets are very lively with people coming and going.

Looking up, the clear sky is as blue as washing, and there are one or two delicate clouds floating on the blue sky, clean and transparent, just like the temperament of this city, thriving, full of vigor and hope.

There is a world of difference from the sight of burying corpses thousands of miles outside the city and chilling the desolate scene.

It's really hard to imagine that behind the iron walls, there is still such a paradise that is isolated from the outside world.

Yu Lian was stunned for a moment, this place... seemed familiar.

Presumably she has been here before, but the memory is too far away now, and the details can no longer be remembered.

The only thing that is certain is that the natural disaster has not yet spread to this land, so the civilization of Xuangong was fortunately preserved. During this period, I don't know how many people's efforts were spent and how many innocent lives were sacrificed.

Seeing Wu Yan, all the palace guards saluted in unison, Wu Yan signaled them to stand in line, and then led the crowd to pass along the street, pedestrians on the street stopped one after another, turned their heads and cast curious eyes, whispered to each other.

Someone recognized the young men who were following the team, turned around immediately, and ran away quickly to pass the news to the master's family.

Wu Yan led Que Qingyun, Yu Lianxin and his party to a solemn and dignified palace, and asked them to wait in the palace, and then sent someone to send a message to invite the person in charge of Xuangong to come.

Everyone waited in the hall for a while, and when Que Qingyun came, he observed the surrounding defenses all the way, thinking secretly in his heart, if the conversation was not very pleasant later, and unexpected changes occurred, where should they get out.

Yu Lian, on the other hand, was quite lazy, and stood idly by the side, tilting her head to admire Que Qingyun's pure and beautiful face when she was silent.

However, the first person to appear outside the palace steps was not the chief of the palace guard, but a few anxious elders of the clan who rushed over after receiving the news.

Regardless of the obstruction of the palace guards outside the hall, they rushed into the main hall, and shouted loudly before they got close: "Where is the person?! Didn't you say you came back?! Where are the people?!"

Wu Yan's face changed slightly when he heard the sound, he could tell that the owner of the voice was Yan Gui's father.

Besides, Yueying's elder brother and Xu Yi's mother were also in the crowd.

The three of Fang Li looked at the gate of the palace at the same time, a look of fear and shame flashed in Wu Teng's eyes, Yue Ying tightened her lips, lowered her head with red eyes, Fang Li stood there in a daze.

But I don’t want to face it anymore, what should come will always come.

When they broke into the hall, they recognized their own children with just one glance, and the two relatives who couldn't find them were suddenly struck by lightning.

A figure rushed over quickly, put both hands on Fang Li's shoulders, and asked him with tearful eyes: "Where is Yan Gui?! Where is my son Yan Gui?! Why didn't he come back with you?!"

This is a man of medium height and gentle appearance, but when he asked about his son's whereabouts, his ferocious expression had already betrayed his inner panic.

How dangerous is the outside of the Xuan Palace?These boys sneaked out without authorization, and they were close to death. Since they failed to come back, the ending is self-evident.

But without getting an accurate answer, they still have a glimmer of hope in their hearts, and they still have residual illusions. Even if there is only a one-thousandth, one-ten-thousandth chance left, they still have to keep looking.

"Uncle Yan." Fang Li's eyes were also red, and he said in a difficult tone, "Yan Gui and Xu Yi, they... can't come back."

The last few words almost crushed his teeth.

Yan An's eyes were dull, and the hands clasping Fang Li's shoulders were tightly tightened, and the knuckles were almost embedded in Fang Li's flesh, crushing his not-so-tough bones.

But he never frowned, his eyes were dark, and his expression was forbearing, as if he thought that all the pain was the consequence he should bear.

After this incident, he grew up a lot from an ignorant teenager, but for this transformation-like maturity, the price they paid was too high.

There was a sudden commotion in the crowd, but Xu Yisheng's mother, who entered the hall after the crowd, heard Fang Li's words, she was dizzy for a moment, her legs felt weak, and she fell down straight.

Seeing this, Wu Yan was shocked, and immediately stepped forward to rescue him.

But when Xu Yi's mother woke up, she pushed the person in front of her away, and rushed towards Fang Li like crazy.

Grasping Fang Li's arm tightly, she scolded in a sad voice: "Why did you kill my little Yi?! He trusts you so much and regards you as his own brother, but you take him to die!"

"Why?! Tell me! Why?!"

Heart-piercing wailing resounded through the palace, and Xu's mother felt sad from it, and punched and kicked the other party desperately.

Yue Ying couldn't stand it anymore, and wanted to go forward to help, but was grabbed by the arm by her elder brother. The man looked angry, and restrained, he yelled: "It's none of your business! Don't meddle in it!"

Seeing that Fang Li's face was getting paler and blood was already appearing at the corner of his mouth, Wu Teng rushed up quickly, pulled Xu's mother and Yan's father away, protected Fang Li behind him, and begged in a hoarse voice, "Please, don't let me die again." If you fight, if you continue to fight, Fang Li will die too!"

"Let him pay for his life!" Xu's mother lost her mind and roared crazily, and several more slaps fell on Wu Teng's body.

Father Yan was a little more awake and saw the bloodstains on the corner of Fang Li's mouth. Concerned about Fang's power in the Xuan Palace, he took a half step back forbearance, but his hands hanging by his sides were clenched into fists.

Yu Lianxin and the other two watched the fire from the sidelines from the beginning to the end, as if they had nothing to do with them.

At this time, there was a strange sound outside the main hall, and the guards of Xuangong bowed their heads one after another, saluting and greeting the people who came.

This movement woke up the people in the hall, and the crowd spontaneously moved away from the back to the front, forming a passageway enough for two people to walk side by side, allowing people to pass.

Even the grief-stricken Mother Xu calmed down a little when she saw the visitor, she lowered her eyes, covered her face and wept.

However, a short-haired woman in silver armor and carrying a broad-bladed sword led a small group of Xuangong palace guards walking slowly, walking calmly through the crowd, and came to Fang Li.

Seeing the person's face clearly, Yu Lian raised her eyebrows unexpectedly, and some blurred images appeared in her sea of ​​consciousness. She actually had a vague impression of this Xuangong Palace Guard Chief, who was someone she knew and was relatively familiar with.

Fang Li's dark pupils reflected the woman's stern and solemn face, his lips trembled slightly, and he wanted to open his mouth, but his throat seemed to be blocked by something, and he couldn't utter a single word.

Immediately, there was a crisp cracking sound, which shocked everyone in the hall to show shocked eyes.

Fang Li was staggered by the slap, half of his cheek was on fire, and it became red and swollen at a very fast speed, but before he could stand still, the woman slapped him on the other cheek again.

Gravity hit him, and he took another two steps back, the wound on his lower abdomen was affected, he couldn't stand still for a while, and fell to the ground.

The woman looked down at him with cold eyes, condescendingly, and pronounced his guilt: "After you have been vain as the Fang family, from today onwards, you go to the front line and don't come back until you kill a thousand monsters."

The surrounding audience turned pale with shock, even Wu Yan was stunned on the spot.

Yue Ying immediately shook off her elder brother's hand, stepped forward quickly, and begged: "Sister Fang, Fang Li was seriously injured, if you send him to the battlefield, he will die!"

The woman called Sister Fang gave her a sideways look, and corrected her, "Miss Yue, now, you should call me Commander Fang."

Yue Ying was intimidated by his aura, and she was hoarse before she could persuade her. Her cold and ruthless eyes were sharper than a knife, piercing into people's hearts, making people terrified.

Fang Li finally regained some courage. He got up, pushed away Yue Ying who was protecting him, faced the woman's cold gaze, gritted his teeth and said, "I accept the dispatch."

After finishing speaking, he took a breath and continued: "If I die..."

"You will become a martyr guarding the Xuan Palace, and I will personally engrave your name on the giant sword that tilts the sky." Commander Fang was stern and selfless, every word was as cold as iron stone.

This cruel decision was fair and just, and chillingly cruel, even Xu's mother and Yan's father looked sideways at it.

Although Fang Li got into a catastrophe, he was only a 16-year-old boy.

"If that's the case, I'll go to the front line too." Wu Teng suppressed the fear in his heart, and said bravely, "I came up with the idea, and I'm the culprit. Fang Li and I will go to the front line to kill demons and make amends! "

Before the words were finished, Yue Ying also blurted out: "I'll go too! If we didn't bring them back, we are all responsible, if we want to be punished, we will be together!"

Wu Yan's face changed drastically, and Yueying's elder brother was so angry that his head was smoking. He grabbed Yueying's shoulder and tried to cover her mouth to prevent her from talking nonsense.

But the words that have been said are like splashed water. Commander Fang glanced at them coldly, with a cold and contemptuous sneer on the corner of his lips: "Since you are so united, let's be together, one person with one thousand monsters, Don't come back if you lose one head."

As soon as the final word was reached, Yueying's elder brother and Wu Teng's second uncle both turned bitter.

But no one asked for mercy, because they all knew that if they tried to favor themselves, they would only offend the party commander.

As Fang Li's own younger brother, she can be ruthless. With her selfless and hard-hearted heart, the tasks of these boys may directly increase from one thousand to ten thousand.

The three young men who had caused trouble were escorted away by the palace guards, and the hall became quiet again. At this moment, Commander Fang turned around, faced Xu Yi's mother and Yan Gui's father, and bowed deeply.

"My lax discipline caused my younger brother to get into a catastrophe, implicating Yan Gui and Xu Yi. I have already punished them according to the law. Please condolences."

Xu's mother didn't raise her head, she was so sad that she couldn't make a sound, she just whimpered and couldn't stop crying.

Father Yan lowered his eyes sadly, hiding the obscure coldness in his eyes, and shook his head bitterly: "I have heard that Commander Fang Da is ruthless and selfless, and seeing him today is indeed the case. Xuan Palace has Commander Fang in control, and will surely overcome the current difficulties."

"The matter has come to this point. People who die cannot be brought back to life. It is only because of Yan Gui's bad fate. I, Yan Shi, will not pursue it anymore."

After finishing speaking, Father Yan turned around and left quickly.

After he left, Mother Xu shook her head in pain, sighed, got up and left crying.

Commander Fang personally confessed the crime, and there was nothing they could do if they didn't give up.

The situation had calmed down, and Yueying's elder brother also cupped his fists to leave with a bitter face, but after a few breaths, there were only four people left in the crowded hall, Fang Tongling, Wu Yan, Yu Lianxin and Que Qingyun.

At this moment, Commander Fang turned his face and looked at Yu Lianxin and the two with a serious expression.

Observing their clothes, demeanor, and breath secretly, they knew that the two people had very different backgrounds, so they asked: "Dare to ask you, where did you come from?"

Yu Lian raised her eyebrows, smiled recklessly, and answered the irrelevant question: "Fang Juinian, Commander Fang, I haven't seen him for many years, but he has already ascended to the head of the palace guards. It's really gratifying and congratulatory."
