Chapter 27: Crystal Palace
Chapter 27: Crystal Palace
"Young Master, be careful..." The leader of the Eighteen Cavalry spoke beside Cao Youdao.
As they got closer and closer to the bonfire, the group of demon-controlling masters could not help but drive the terrifying crocodile under their crotch and subconsciously slowed down.
The scene in front of me is really weird.
In the bonfire burning in the shady wasteland, a girl sitting by the bonfire is vivid and fragrant.
If it weren't for the swaying shadows behind the girl's back under the flames, everyone would almost think that this was a female ghost.
What exactly is she? She dared to be so bold and light a bonfire in the shady wasteland!
Aren't she afraid of being besieged by the Wandering Army?
The more I thought about it, the more I became more shocked and suspicious, and everyone was staggering.
With a dragon roar, Cao Youdao put away the Xuanming Ghost Dragon. He looked solemn, slowly walked to Xiao Yan, bowed and said, "You are polite. Cao Youdao, the young master of the Cao family, is fortunate to meet the girl in the shady wasteland."
Xiao Yan's eyes lit up and looked at Cao You up and down and said, "You are the genius of the Cao family, that Cao Youdao?"
She had already received Chu Yun's warning, so she was not surprised by the arrival of these people.
But when she heard Cao Youdao reveal his identity, she couldn't help but become curious.
She had heard of Cao Youdao's name for a long time. Anyone who had seen Cao Youdao praised him as a great genius. Xiao Yan's former fiancé Tang Wuxin was also considered a genius, but compared with Cao Youdao, it was like a sparrow meeting a phoenix.
"It's right." Cao Youdao smiled just right, "Dare you asking the girl for her name?"
"Oh." Xiao Yan said carelessly, "My surname is Xiao."
"Xiao family?" Cao Youdao's face changed slightly.
The Xiao family was once a first-class family, and even hundreds of years ago, it was a giant among the first-class family. However, with the passing of the Xiao family Taizu, it slowly declined.
Although it is a second-rate family now, it still has its foundation, especially the Square Bone Fort, which is known as a city that is not trapped in Ghost Continent. It means that there is no city that can fall.
"So it's Miss Xiao." Cao Youdao bowed again, his face showing a little confusion, "Is the girl the famous fallen genius Xiao Yan of the Xiao family?"
The Cao family intelligence network is sound, and Cao Youdao has activated his bloodline since he was a child and has the ability to remember everything he has seen.
Xiao Yan nodded: "It's me."
Cao Youdao couldn't help but look up and down at Xiao Yan again, showing a sudden look, and smiled loudly: "The rumors are indeed unreliable. Miss Xiao is blessed with a bright and heroic figure. She is a sonorous rose. She has great courage to light a bonfire in a shady and corrupt place, which makes us all ashamed."
He finally couldn't help but test it.
Xiao Yan beat her up. If she had seen Cao Youdao before, she would have been nervous and uncomfortable. But now after Chu Yun's training, her cultivation level has increased rapidly, and her vision is even higher than that of mortals and above the world.
So the girl nodded and looked at Cao Youdao without any scruples: "You don't have to belittle yourself. You are only fifteen years old, but you have the cultivation level of heroes, unique talents, and you have also been favored by heaven and earth. However, you have just been promoted to heroes, and your cultivation needs to be consolidated. It is better to find a stable environment to run around in this shady and corrupt wasteland."
Although Xiao Yan only has the peak cultivation level of a stranger, she is definitely not as good as a hero. But she has a star ghost ring, and Chu Yun is standing by her to make her confident.
When saying this, the girl's words and expressions all have a leisurely style of a senior.
Cao Youdao was shocked all over.
He has just been promoted to hero, and the news has been strictly blocked, just to be afraid of being the leader and causing unnecessary trouble.
After all, the stones protrude from the shore and the water will rush, and the woods will be beautiful from the forest and wind will be destroyed.
But the girl in front of her could tell at a glance his cultivation level.
How is this possible?!
The eighteen horses behind the young master in white also showed a strong look of shock.
But nothing could happen before their eyes.
How could they know that there is an imperial ghost like Chu Yun around Xiao Yan. Although the combat power of the soul is far inferior to the demon-controlling master of the same level, after all, the realm is high, and it is not difficult to use soul power to detect the opponent's background.
"The son of Tianyun, Cao Youdao is the son of Tianyun born from Guizhou. Haha, it's really interesting. Disciple, you can follow him next. With his luck, your gains will be greater!" Chu Yun said to Xiao Yan secretly.
"But, if you make this request rashly, you may be misunderstood by someone. And I think they are all quite afraid of me." Xiao Yan muttered in her heart, frowning slightly.
In fact, she wanted to be alone with Chu Yun and practice hard freely. Although the process was boring and simple, she was very happy.
"Silly child, I'm for your own good. You are just the son of Earth Mobility. You may take this opportunity... Wait, there will be a robbery demon attack!" Chu Yun said a while and suddenly warned.
Xiao Yan suddenly stood up and looked nervously towards the southeast.
She trusted Chu Yun extremely and never doubted it.
Cao Youdao and others might as well have Xiao Yan's sudden reaction, and they were all shocked.
However, when they followed Xiao Yan's gaze and looked into the distance, their faces turned pale.
"It's the nightmare horse with thousands of years of cultivation..." someone said tremblingly.
Xiao Yan frowned immediately, looked at Cao Youdao and his group angrily, and shouted in a deep voice: "Did you attract it?"
Cao Youdao's face turned red and he bowed awkwardly: "Miss Xiao, I'm so sorry. This time we dragged you down."
Xiao Yan sneered: "What's the use of saying this now? Let's run away. This incident was caused by you. If you give up someone and lead the nightmare horse away, I won't hold you responsible."
"What?!" The eighteen cavalry of the Cao family suddenly changed color.
The Nightmare Horse is a demon of disaster, with a strong spiritual light and a higher intelligence than that of a mortal. Naturally, it is known as the weakening tactics of easy first and then difficult, so it must first kill the lonely person.
The person who attracts the Nightmare Horse will definitely have no life. But it will also buy time for others to escape.
"Miss Xiao, I will not agree to your request. The Eighteen Riders are not only my subordinates, but also my friend. I will not allow anyone to sacrifice. Miss Xiao, you can run away with us." Cao Youdao's voice was loud and loud. For a moment, the Eighteen Riders were deeply moved.
"Hmph, you will win people's hearts." Xiao Yan sneered, assuming Cao Youdao's suggestion. She took out the cursed crow and turned over to ride on it. The big black crow immediately flapped her wings and flew away.
"Let's go too!" Cao Youdao and his group were not slow at all, and stepped on the monsters and began to continue running in the shady wasteland.
The nightmare horse of the demon-tribulation that has been in the thousands of years, only the emperor can have such combat power, and they are definitely not able to compete with it.
But strangely, although this nightmare horse was far faster than this group of people, it stopped and stopped, as if teasing them.
Seeing that he could not get rid of the nightmare, this made Cao Youdao and the eighteen cavalry of the Cao family full of anxiety and panic.
Xiao Yan sat on the back of the cursed crow, with a calm face. While flying, she communicated leisurely with Chu Yun in her heart: "Master, he is the son of Tianyun with a stronger fortune than me? I feel very unreliable. Being chased by the robbery demon like a dead dog, this is considered a good luck."
Xiao Yan was indeed calm because she knew that Chu Yun was able to suppress the Yongzhou Secret Box Monster.
Chu Yun smiled and said, "You haven't seen it yet? This nightmare horse is not a wild monster, but is raised by someone."
"Really? Who is so bored and wants to play with us like this, what is his purpose?"
"This is a demon of disaster for thousands of years. The person behind this scenes is at least the cultivation level of the Emperor. This must be one of the Three Emperors and Five Emperors of Guizhou. Interestingly, I guessed their intentions. Next, don't contact me on your own initiative. I'll contact you, and you must never respond to me in your heart. You can't completely restrain your mind, and it's very easy to be noticed by the emperor. You just need to listen and do it." Chu Yun reminded cautiously.
"Oh, I'll listen to the master." Xiao Yan immediately responded crisply in her heart.
"Damn it, the Nightmare Horse is getting closer."
"It can't pull the distance away, it's too fast!"
"Wait a minute, how could there be a big mountain ahead?" Just as everyone was in despair, a mountain suddenly appeared on the flat horizon ahead.
The mountain is hundreds of feet high, with white bones and huge rocks on its body. At the foot of the mountain is a large forest of dead bones. From a distance, it looks like a white giant standing silently between heaven and earth.
The fire of hope suddenly ignited in everyone's ashes.
"We are saved. By entering this mountain, we can escape the vision of the Nightmare Horse."
"Walk!"
In fact, there was no second option. A group of people broke into the White Bone Mountain and shocked a large group of wild monsters in the dry bone resentment forest.
Before the group of angry monsters gathered together, the group successfully broke into the mountains.
Growing forward in the mountains, I suddenly discovered it again.
A crystal palace stands quietly in the valley. It is beautiful and translucent white, so it is concealed with the White Bone Mountain and can only be seen when it is close.
The gate of the Crystal Palace was closed, but the words were engraved on the door posts on both sides.
This is the ancient text of Guizhou. The meaning of reading it is probably that there are treasures left in the palace, waiting for those who are destined to inherit the mantle of the ancestors.
As for whether you are a destined person, the detection method is also very simple, just try to enter the Crystal Palace.
If you can get in, you will be a destined person.
"Haha, I didn't expect that we would be blessed in disguise and encountered such an opportunity!" Tang Wuxin laughed.
"Strange, the shady and rotten wastelands are all plain terrain. When did this mountain appear?"
"Young Master, you are a daughter-in-law, so you can't be careless. The crystal palace in front of you may also be a trap. Let me test it first?"
The eighteen cavalry of the Cao family asked Tang Wuxin for instructions.
Tang Wuxin pondered for a while: "Well, you can give it a try."
The Eighteen Cavalry immediately walked out of one person, walked carefully to the palace gate, and tried to push it.
Immediately, the two doors opened to both sides, and the situation inside the palace was exposed to everyone.
Chapter completed!
