Chapter 44
Chapter 44
Looking at her sister who seemed to have lost her soul, Xia Nanke couldn't bear it, and comforted him: "Didn't Chen Yansi already seal the city gate? You should go and have a look."
Having said that, in fact, both of them knew very well that without a large protective formation, it would be difficult to keep the group of Yaozu people with just a little power of mortals.
Xia Youchu is not an optimistic person, when he thinks of this, he almost despairs.
But there was another voice in her heart saying, try again, take a look again, and never give up.
It seemed that there was a force in the dark pulling her, not letting her give up, not letting her fall, and pushing her forward.Xia Youchu didn't know where this power came from, but she knew very well that it was Xun Lian who gave her the power.
It turned out that she had put Xun Lian in such an important position before she knew it.
So she clenched her palms again, gritted her teeth and said, "Go to the east gate."
Xia Nanke was a little surprised. No one knew this sister better than him. Xiao Chu was a pessimistic person since he was a child, and he never tried things that could be seen at a glance.
Only in Xun Lian's matter did he make an exception again and again.
Without thinking too much, the two headed towards the East City Gate again.
Chen Yansi's work efficiency was indeed very high. There were many checkpoints set up at the east gate. When the two arrived, they didn't find any commotion, but they didn't find the princess's carriage either.
"For no reason, it can't disappear, right?" Chen Yansi asked suspiciously, "Do you have such a technique?"
Shananke shook his head, of course there is no such technique.
However, the strange thing is that there is no trace of Xun Lian in those carriages.
After Xia Youchu searched the last carriage, a sense of desperation finally arose in his heart.
This world is so big, where should she go to find her?
The sun has completely sunk into the mountains, leaving only a little light from the sky.
The tens of feet high city wall of Hechuan City was as cold as rust. Standing in front of this huge wall, Xia Youchu once again felt powerless in his bones.
She is really useless, so what about the Golden Crow's divine power?What about sword repair?
She still can't even protect the people she cares about.
There has been no progress in a hundred years!
Xia Youchu looked at the slowly opening city gate, his unblinking eyes turned red.
Thinking that Xun Lian's life and death were still uncertain, and that misfortune and good fortune were unpredictable, Xia Youchu had to suppress the hopeless thoughts that had just arisen in her forcibly.
Xun Lian's disappearance was like a sharp knife cutting her flesh little by little. The pain made her unable to calm down. She had to look for her, only to see her. Only this belief supported her so that she could take a breath.
She will definitely find Xun Lian and never give up.
"Brother." Looking in the direction of the city gate, she murmured to Xia Nanke, "Lead the team and go first, I... want to find her."
Shocked by her words, Xia Nanke blurted out, "You are alone? How did you find it?"
Xia Youchu smiled bitterly and said, "I can't let her be alone."
Xia Nanke opened his mouth, wanting to persuade her, but couldn't speak, and said after a while: "You go back first, let's have a long-term plan."
Xia Youchu nodded, turned around and was about to get on the horse, but as soon as one foot stepped on the stirrup, he collapsed powerlessly.
Xia Nanke exclaimed, and caught Xia Youchu who fell off the horse.
"Xiao Chu?" Xia Nanke saw that her face was extremely ugly, so he reached out a ray of consciousness and punched it from her wrist.
Xia Youchu didn't resist at all, and half closed his eyes, as if extremely tired.
Xia Nanke inspected her inner mansion carefully, and only then did she know that Xia Youchu's cultivation base had entered at some point and there was a hint of a breakthrough.
"You're so stupid." Shananke scolded angrily, "You didn't tell me when you made a breakthrough."
Xia Youchu dully recalled her experience in that illusion, probably at that time she broke through, but at that time she was full of thoughts about Xun Lian, so how could she have time to consolidate her cultivation.
"Go back first, your spiritual power is exhausted, you have to suffer, if you don't want to die, you can go back and practice with me." Xia Nanke couldn't bear to say that he wanted to take Xia Youchu back.
Xia Youchu wanted to say something, but Xia Nanke stopped him with a look.
She was about to turn around and leave when she suddenly caught a glimpse of a faint blue brilliance flying across the sky.
That was Xun Lian's demon fire, who seemed to understand human nature, and rushed towards Xia Youchu's direction at high speed.
"What is this?" Xia Nanke asked strangely as he watched the blue brilliance quickly sink into the wooden plaque on Xia Youchu's neck.
Xia Youchu didn't care about him, his body that was still crumbling just now seemed to have been given a booster, and he immediately regained his spirit.
The wooden sign jumped slightly, as if to lead her to meet someone.
"I know where Xiao Xun is, hurry up, let's go out of the city!" Xia Youchu said as he was about to get on his horse again, but was stopped by Xia Nanke, and he said, "Let me come to Yujian, I don't know where you are going to chase horses hour."
...
Xun Lian's spiritual power was blocked, and she couldn't use any spells. Seeing that Le Fangteng punched a big hole in the protective formation, she couldn't help but become more anxious.
If he left Hechuan City, it would be even more difficult for Xia Youchu to find her.
Subconsciously, she wanted to send a letter to Xia Youchu. The demon fire was used to send letters before. Where did the demon fire come from now?
The carriage left the city and headed decisively to the southwest, where Feng Yuan was located.
Because the princess was pregnant, Le Fangteng did not use black magic to take them away, but chose a relatively stable carriage, which made the journey much slower, but once the carriage mixed into the mortal world, it would be even more difficult. looking for.
Xun Lian thought hard for a long time, and finally remembered the open fire curse around his neck.
Although she can't use spiritual power, after all, she is the cultivation base of a big demon, and the spiritual power is integrated into her flesh and blood. As long as she activates this open fire spell, is she afraid that she won't be able to release the demon fire?
It's just that Le Fangteng stared at her closely, and Xun Lian didn't dare to move, so he could only bear it temporarily.
After leaving the city, he soon arrived at a township, and it was getting late and it was not suitable to continue walking, so Le Fangteng ordered someone to rest in an inn for the night.
Xun Lian was still handed over to Nan Xing, and the two were assigned to a room.
As soon as Nan Xing closed the door, when he turned around, Xun Lian held a hairpin to his throat.
"Don't make a sound." Xun Lian threatened in a low voice: "You little demon with such a cultivation level, if I continue with this move, you will lose half your life."
Nan Xing stared at her with wide eyes in surprise, she was so cute.
Xun Lian didn't want to hurt her, but he didn't feel good about her for repaying her kindness, so he cut her hands back hard and pinned her behind the screen.
"You want to run away?" Nan Xing was not surprised at all, still smiling and said: "I thought you had a sex change, so I said why are you so obedient and don't resist."
Nan Xing looked at Xun Lian with eyes full of smiles and said, "Let me guess what you want to do?"
Xun Lian's heart trembled at the sight of her eyes. This girl's sorcery that can see through other people's minds is really bad.
"Demon fire." Nan Xing nodded knowingly, and said again: "Although there is an open fire curse, it is difficult for you to activate it without spiritual power."
Xun Lian didn't speak, just silently took out the open fire spell, then cut his finger, and dripped blood on the spell.
After waiting for a while, there was no response.
She couldn't help feeling a little frustrated.
Just when Xun Lian was about to knock Nan Xing unconscious with a stick before fleeing, he heard Nan Xing yelling: "Knocking out is too barbaric! I protest!"
Xun Lian glanced at her, and looked around the room, trying to find something convenient.
Seeing that she seemed to be coming for real, Nan Xing hurriedly shouted: "Don't, don't, can I help you, don't knock me out."
Xun Lian looked at her in confusion, as if he didn't understand what was going on with this person.
"Oh, actually, Master Le is quite a nice person, but I think it's a little inappropriate for him to take you away like this." Nan Xing blinked and said flatteringly: "But he took me in after all, and I can't be ungrateful If you betrayed him, if it was your own demon fire that sent the letter, wouldn't it have nothing to do with me?"
Looking at her flattering smile, Xun Lian felt that he needed to understand the word ungrateful.
"You have to think clearly." Xun Lian said in a deep voice.
Nan Xing smiled, her beautiful eyes curved into crescent moons, and the dimple on her left cheek appeared shallowly.
"I've figured it out, don't worry about it."
"Who's worried about you?" Xun Lian sneered.
Nan Xing was not annoyed either, and said in a good-tempered manner: "Okay, okay, I'm just pretending to be sentimental, okay?"
After finishing speaking, she briskly got up from the ground, flipped her fingers and squeezed out a fist.
Xun Lian took a closer look, and thought she was a wild girl who didn't know anything, but who knew that the hand she showed was quite decent, at least much better than that half-assed baiji.
Nan Xing shook his head triumphantly: "Of course I'm not bad, otherwise I wouldn't have been chosen to watch over you."
Xun Lian pursed his mouth and retracted his gaze, and landed on the talisman full of spiritual power.
Nan Xing's spiritual power was pale white, mixed with her blood, rolling and slowly flowing out a faint blue flame.
Xun Lian was overjoyed, and hurriedly walked to the window with the wooden sign in his hand, and carefully let out the wisp of faint blue demon fire.
The demon fire was psychic, carrying her hope, swimming through the cracks of the house like a fish, and disappeared after a while.
Xun Lian kept looking at it until he could no longer see it before looking away.
When she turned her head, she saw Nan Xing, who was still complacently joking with her just now, slumped down at the foot of the bed, leaning on the bedpost and looking in her direction.
The delicate face was covered with paleness.
It was only then that Xun Lian remembered that Nan Xing's cultivation was really weak, so he used his spiritual power all of a sudden, so he might not know when he would be able to recover.
"Are you okay?" Xun Lian had a rare conscience, and stepped forward to help her up.
Nan Xing is much thinner and shorter than her. If it were an ordinary person, she would only be eleven or twelve years old.
This weak girl was very light in her hands, Xun Lian easily lifted her up and put her on the bed.
"Thank you, but..." Xun Lian looked at her pale face and asked in confusion, "Why did you help me?"
Wasn't it hard to settle down?
Aren't you afraid of being stirred into this muddy water?
Nan Xing's pale face weakly raised a smile, looked at Xun Lian and said, "This is not only helping you, but also helping myself."
"That female monarch is willing to set up a big formation for you to exhaust her spiritual power, and she will not give up so easily. If she comes to the door, I hope you can help Master Le to intercede."
Xun Lian paused, completely incomprehensible to her noble feelings of sacrificing herself for the sake of others.
"Not only that, the Yaozu is in turmoil now, even if you return to the Yaozu, you will have to go through a lot of trials and tribulations. If you offend Zhaoyao Mountain because of this, the life of the Yaozu will be even more difficult."
Xun Lian said: "What about you? Don't you think about yourself?"
Nan Xing said with a smile: "Lord Le is very tolerant, I'll just say that you yourself activated the talisman to attract the rescuers, and I can't stop you, he won't embarrass me."
"Why do you want to intercede for him?" Xun Lian was still puzzled, and she didn't see how kind Le Fangteng was to Nan Xing.
Nan Xing put away her smile, and a serious look appeared on her childish face. She said seriously: "Master Le is carrying a demon fire, and his cultivation is advanced. I don't know how many demon kings and demon clans like him."
"But there is only one person like him who is willing to protect the other weak monster races."
When Nan Xing said this, she raised her head and looked at Xun Lian. Her voice was soft and crisp, but every word fell into Xun Lian's heart.
"I don't know how many strong people there are in the world. They are willing to take a little care of some weak ones, even if they tell me to risk my life, I will protect them."
"I don't have much ability, but as long as there is one more person like this, more people will be safe."
