The villain is my brother

Shen Yebai told Qin Moyu that Fen Yan was in Xizhou, but he didn't know exactly where in Xizhou, so the two finally decided to go to Xizhou first, and then find Fen Yan.

From East Continent to West Continent, the fastest way is through the land of the abyss.

If someone else walks the road of the abyss, it must be full of dangers. The Yuhuo floating in the abyss will be like a bone-attached worm, and will continue to eat away at the person who is entangled by it, especially the spiritual energy of the person who is entangled by it, until it is entangled. Yu Huo will gradually disappear only when the people above die.

But Qin Moyu has the red lotus karma fire, for some reason, this kind of jade fire seems to be very afraid of the red lotus karma fire, once it comes into contact with it, it will be melted, as if it is born to restrain it.

After weighing the pros and cons, the two decided to take the path of the land of the abyss. After all, no one knows how long Fen Yan will stay in Xizhou. If there is news, it is better to find it as soon as possible.

It took them half a month to arrive at the junction of Dongzhou and Abyss, and what they saw was shocking enough.

Walking out of Dongzhou, there is still a green pine forest behind you, a meandering stream, birds and insects singing endlessly, and the sky is as clear as washing; but in front of you is the scorched land, the gray sky, and the disgusting smell. Rotten.

The distance between these two diametrically opposed scenes is only ten meters.

One step to heaven, one step to hell.

Just by looking at this comparison, one can know how tragic the Four Continents War was. Qin Moyu took a deep breath, and stepped into the abyss side by side with Shen Yebai.

Despite his mental preparation, Qin Moyu almost fell, but fortunately Shen Yebai quickly helped him up with his sharp eyes.

Only when you really go to the land of the abyss, you will find that the land is soft soil covered with blood foam. When you step down, it feels like you are stepping on a muddy path that has been rained on. Every step you take must be very careful, but no matter how Be careful, as long as the visitor exerts a little force, blood will seep out of this land, staining the visitor's shoes red.

The further you go inside, the more frightening the situation in the abyss.

The road in the land of the abyss is not smooth, there are broken halberds and broken limbs everywhere, and there are small bumps. Some of the small bumps that were pushed up in a hurry even exposed the person buried inside because they were not piled up—the person who was carelessly buried by his companions. Half of the buried person was outside the soil bag, most of his face was rotted away, and his clothes were only strips of cloth. No one knew his name or why he died here.

But this kind of bones can no longer arouse the pity of people who enter the abyss, because there are too many unnamed tombs like this in the abyss, Qin Moyu even saw a huge pit not far away, There are piles of bones inside, and even because there are too many, the bones are scattered and entangled, and it is impossible to tell who is who.

Enemies who fought each other with their lives while alive were buried in the same land after death. I really don't know whether it is more sad or ironic.

Most of the Yuhuo is attached to these white bones, and a small part is wandering in the air, burning dark golden flames faintly, as if pouring out the unwillingness and resentment of the dead.

Before entering the abyss, Qin Moyu made more than ten red lotus karma fires and spun around the two of them, except that he didn't touch the jade fires on the white bones, those floating yu fires accidentally touched the red lotus karma fires soon It's gone, so it's safe now.

But Qin Moyu didn't dare to relax his vigilance. According to Shen Yebai, those who died on the periphery were all low-strength people. .

Even if there is no backup arrangement, those desperadoes who do not hesitate to break into the abyss in search of treasure are not easy to provoke.

Sure enough, when the two of them walked a little further, the inside was no longer a dark black land, but a long stretch of yellow sand, and the sky became darker and darker, making it difficult to tell the time.

Walking in the sand, Qin Moyu could still see people bending over the sandy mountain to find treasure from time to time. These people were surprised when they saw the red lotus karma on their bodies, and cast greedy or vigilant eyes, but when they found Qin Moyu and Shen Yebai only calmed down a little after passing by, and it was even more impossible to strike up a conversation. Walking in the abyss is like walking in hell on earth.

Perhaps the environment was too dull, Qin Moyu wanted to say something to break the suffocating silence of the abyss.

"If it's like this, will anyone really win the Four Continents War?" Qin Moyu looked at the surrounding scenery and muttered to himself.

"No." Shen Yebai was dressed as a bodyguard—this was Qin Moyu's insistence. He didn't want to expose Shen Yebai's identity. He was silent for a moment, "No matter which continent's power it is, it has been greatly impacted, and many even disappeared immediately. In the Great War of the Four Continents."

"Has no one thought of stopping it?" Qin Moyu was puzzled, since it would be of no benefit to continue fighting, why would he continue to fight?

"Because everyone who can stop them has gone to the extremely cold place." Shen Yebai used a long knife to pick apart the bones in front of him, and several clusters of flames flickered away from the bones and wandered in the air.

"In the beginning, the Four Continents War didn't involve so much. It was just a dispute between several forces. It couldn't have caused trouble at first, but for some reason, it killed the wife of Fen Qi, the patriarch of the Fen family. This faction also involved another beloved son who was able to cross the catastrophe... In short, after going round and round, the new and old hatreds of the four continents added up and turned into a scuffle. In the end, it was the emperor of the Southern Kingdom at that time - also a crossing catastrophe. Qi Da Neng came forward and gathered all Du Jie Qi Da Neng to discuss how to solve these matters, and only then did he gain temporary stability."

"The scuffle... I know that, but how did it turn into a big fight later? And aren't you willing to sit down and discuss it? Why did you go to an extremely cold place again?" Qin Moyu asked with a frown.

"I don't know." Shen Yebai replied bluntly, "No one knows why they went to the extremely cold place. Everyone only knows that only three of them survived, and all of them were seriously injured and announced to retreat. Originally, everyone agreed The meeting point of the four continents waited for their respective experts to come back to discuss the results, and when the news came back, everyone was in an uproar, some were terrified, some were moved."

"Sizhou's situation has been stable for too long, and it's been so long that it makes people's heart itch—" Shen Yebai sneered, "As long as one person crosses the line, if you don't hit others, others will also covet you. If no one wants to retreat, then just can fight."

"It's all for profit..."

"But the War of the Four Continents is not without doubts." Shen Yebai said the same thing as Master Xuanjing that day, "Although there are some people who want to fish in troubled waters, they are in the minority after all. The powerful ones are better off being stable than fighting for insignificant interests. With the current status, it is logically impossible to evolve into such a tragic battle, and it is strange that the Four Continents War was fought so fiercely."

"What Yebai said is the same as what Senior Xuan said. I always feel that the Four Continents War is controlled by a black hand behind the scenes." Qin Moyu sighed.

Shen Yebai couldn't help but think of Silence's enemy—whether he is human or not remains to be discussed, but according to the fragments of memories he got from Silence and Shen Mo's attitude of attaching importance to it, he can know that he is powerful.

But what kind of person can make Shen Mo, who is in the tribulation period, so fearful?Even splitting himself so as not to scare the snake?You must know that when Du Jie is going up, he can only ascend.

"Speaking of which, since there are only three Transcendence Tribulation Periods who came back from the extremely cold place, why did Senior Xuan tell me that there are four Existing Tribulation Transcendence experts?"

"Because the fourth tribulation-crossing period was broken through after the Four Continents War—the ancestor of the Southern Kingdom, Shen Mo."

"The one who temporarily stopped the scuffle and went to the extremely cold place is his father."

"Although it is said to be an ancestor, Shen Mo is actually not very old, it is only because the southern royal family sacrificed too many emperors in the Four Continents War, in terms of seniority and strength, he is honored as an ancestor. "

"He is a real genius."

As Shen Mo's sub-soul, Shen Yebai understands Shen Mo's almost terrifying cultivation talent. The sword skills he learned from Shen Mo are enough for him to travel across the four continents. So what is the formation that Shen Mo is best at? One can imagine the horror.

……

On the other side, Shen Mo, who was missed by Shen Yebai, received the news from Shen Sheng that he was about to send troops to Xizhou.

In the empty front court, Shen Sheng sat in a high position without seeing all the officials, and only General Qi in battle armor was standing below him.

"Your Majesty, it's time for me to go." General Qi cupped his fists towards Shen Sheng, his figure was as tall and straight as a pine tree, his face was still a little green, but the brows were steady and resolute that didn't match his age.

Shen Sheng gave him a deep look, as if he wanted to keep him in his heart, until the attendant reminded him in a low voice, then he said: "General Qi, please."

"I will definitely live up to your Majesty's expectations." Qi He had a rare smile on his cold face, very much like his father and brother.

It's just that his father and brother will never come back.

Qi He bowed solemnly to Shen Sheng again, turned around and strode away.

When he walked to the door, a voice suddenly came from behind——

That was the voice of the young emperor that he was very familiar with:

"Qi He, I want you to come back alive."

"Regardless of victory or defeat, I will come back alive."

Qi He turned his head, and Shen Sheng, who was sitting in a high position, was against the light, so he couldn't see the expression on his face clearly. This young emperor who integrated the royal family with iron and blood and firmly secured the throne at a young age was never a timid person, but Qi He Yes, he is afraid.

Shen Sheng has been like this since he was a child, even if he is afraid and worried, he will pretend nothing has happened. Only Qi He who grew up with him can see through his fragility hidden under his tenacity at a glance.

The picture in front of me seems to coincide with a certain moment in memory——

Shen Sheng, who had just ascended the throne, was wearing an ill-fitting dragon robe, and in the desolate palace, he held his hand trembling unconsciously.

"Qi He, will I die?"

Shen Sheng's voice trembled. He understood what it meant to be enthroned, but even so he didn't stop walking up the steps, because there was no way out behind him.

Qi He, who had just received the news that his brother had died in battle with the late Emperor, was wearing plain white clothes, with a bulging battle armor under his clothes—the front line cannot be left without people, and he will go to the battlefield after participating in this simple enthronement ceremony.

"No, Xiaosheng."

Qi He let go of his hand, the way up was not the way he should go.

Shen Sheng walked to the top step, he turned around, the five-clawed golden dragon on the bright yellow robe was shining in the sun, and the crown covered his face, from today on he represented not only himself, but also the whole Southern Kingdom .

Qi He knelt down on one knee in front of the new emperor.

"Wait for me to return in triumph."

Qi He made a promise to Shen Sheng just like the enthronement ceremony that day.

"Return you Haiyan Heqing, a prosperous age."

——My Majesty, in the peaceful and prosperous age, all nations will dress up and worship the crown [Note 3].
