Chapter 369 The Immortal Spirit Was Taken Away by Ji You
"General, a more powerful aura is approaching!"
In the dead silent valley, a demon general suddenly looked at Asakura who was walking straight into the valley with a gun.
However, Asakura did not react, but continued to stare stiffly ahead.
He was just behind Danba on the right, and was charging at him with the spear in his hand. He didn't realize that something was wrong until Danba was hit. He forcibly withdrew the spear and dodged the murderous intent.
The power infused into the spear nearly broke his arm when it was reflected back, but the pain in his arm bones was bearable for him, but what he could not control was the lingering fear in his heart.
Because he knew very well that if he was the one in front, he would definitely have died in that attack just now.
"General!"
With another low growl, Asakura finally came back to his senses.
Almost in an instant, he felt the breath from outside the forest coming, so he immediately fixed his eyes and waved back.
"withdraw!"
"yes!"
In an instant, more than ten demon generals of the demon clan quickly retreated along the black ridge line and roared towards Yunzhou in the northeast.
When leaving the dense forest, these demon generals did not communicate with each other at all, but they all turned back to look at the sword-wielding figure, and the disbelief in their eyes was hard to dissipate.
At the same time, the barbarians also felt that powerful aura.
They forced themselves out of the shock of General Danba's defeat, immediately lifted up the broken-down general, and suddenly disappeared in the opposite direction into the mountains and forests.
The valley suddenly became silent, leaving only the disheveled humans standing in the night.
At this moment, the fairy spirit held in Ji You's arms was glowing faintly through his torn fairy robe, and the vast fairy charm continued to spread.
But no matter whether it was the aristocratic family camp affiliated with the Tianshu Academy or the aristocratic family camp affiliated with the Chen family, no one started to fight for it at this moment.
"Ji You..."
In the silence, He Ye clenched his sleeves slightly and suddenly spoke.
They are of the same blood with Tianshu Academy, and Ji You is a disciple of Tianshu Academy. In the mind of the head of the He family, they should have a say.
Unexpectedly, just as he finished speaking, Ji You looked at him with cold eyes, then stepped on the ground and stood up, breaking the rocks on the ground with a bang, and flew towards the north.
He was well aware of the fact that the aristocratic families tended to bully the weak and fear the strong, and knew that whoever had the bigger fist had the final say in the situation. Naturally, he could come and go as he pleased.
But as more people arrived, it would not be so easy for him to leave.
Seeing Ji You suddenly soar into the air, leaving behind a trace of hot breath whistling between heaven and earth, everyone's expression showed complicated emotions.
At the same time, a powerful spiritual energy roared down from its west side.
Zuo Qiuyang and his sect elders were coming through the forest, with spiritual energy surging and roaring under their feet.
"Where?"
"To answer Elder Ge, it's in the valley on the west side."
"Are you sure the barbarians and demons are joining forces to rob us?"
"It's unclear whether they joined forces, but the He, Zuoqiu, and You families, along with a number of other noble families, were indeed surrounded. They were all injured when we left."
Wei Han, a disciple from the Head Office, spoke hurriedly, his tone urgent.
He was the one who had just watched the battle in the forest, and then left a group of people to keep an eye on the scene, and then quickly withdrew to Tianshuyuan to report the news.
When he left, he had already seen the aristocratic families being surrounded, as well as the powerful general king and the celestial demon. His heart was already pounding, thinking that the mountains and forests might be littered with corpses, a horrible sight.
Elder Peng interrupted and said, "Are you sure that the item really came from the Holy Land of the Ancient Sages?"
"It must have come from the holy land of the ancient sages."
“Oh no…”
The elders of Tianshu Academy looked at each other, their eyes revealing anxiety.
Just as Ruo Ye said, the Holy Land of the Sages has a very deep relationship with the human race, and the things that flow out of it must be extraordinary. If it falls into the hands of the demons and barbarians, it will inevitably become the source of disaster.
However, to their surprise, as they rushed to the outskirts of the dense forest valley, they found that countless wounded people were being helped out, and it seemed that the war had subsided.
When they saw this scene, they couldn't help but feel their hearts hanging even more.
They knew that no matter which one it was, the Zhongzhou family would find it extremely difficult to deal with the barbarian general king or the demon clan's celestial demon, not to mention that there were countless soldier kings and mysterious demons who were as powerful as those family heads.
"Junior Brother Qin!"
"Brother Wei."
The disciples of the Master's Academy who stayed behind in the forest were also evacuating. At that time, a disciple named Qin heard the shouting and immediately looked up and responded.
When he saw that Wei Han was followed by important figures in the courtyard, the disciple named Qin immediately bowed and the people behind him also bowed down.
Elder Ge immediately spoke up when he saw them: "Where are the barbarians and the demons?!"
"Leave."
"Did they take away the thing that caused a burst of light?"
Upon hearing this, the disciple surnamed Qin shook his head: "Reporting to the elder, they did not succeed."
Upon hearing this, all the elders of the Heavenly Academy expressed a look of astonishment and uncertainty: "How could a Zhongzhou family withstand the attack of the Heavenly Demon and the King of Generals?"
"It's Ji You."
"?"
"After the demons and barbarians showed up, the fairy spirit was indeed nearly taken away. But not long after, Ji You also arrived. He defeated the barbarian general and king, took the fairy spirit away, and then left."
The disciple surnamed Qin recounted everything he had seen and heard, including how Ji You punched a barbarian soldier king until he coughed up blood, forced the king to become barbaric with fifteen swords, and then chopped off half of the king's body in a one-on-two situation.
The situation was too chaotic at the time, and it was difficult for them to confirm whether the general was dead or alive, but judging from his injuries, even if he was not dead, he was probably not much better than dead.
Hearing these words, the elders of Tianshu Academy instantly breathed a sigh of relief, but at the same time they were silent because of the battle process described by the elder, especially Elder Ge.
During the trip to the Snow Region, he was the leader of the Tianshu Academy. Naturally, he knew that Ji You had nearly died when facing a military king. However, in just over three years, he was able to suppress a general king alone. It was really puzzling.
Zuo Qiuyang looked at the elders' instantly relaxed expressions, and his eyes couldn't help but become deep.
The things that flowed out of the holy land of the sages are extremely important. If they fall into the hands of barbarians and demons, it will definitely cause disaster. But even if it falls into the hands of other families or immortal sects, it may not necessarily make people feel at ease.
But only when they heard that the thing was taken away by Ji You, everyone felt a little relieved.
Well, over the years some people have criticized his humble background, but no one has ever said that he has a bad character.
Zuo Qiuyang came to his senses, then waved his sleeves and flew into the air, heading towards the depths of the valley in the northwest.
Seeing this scene, the elders immediately followed with their Qi and disappeared into the dark night.
call--
With their sleeves fluttering, everyone from Tianshuyuan fell into the valley.
Because of the series of battles, the valley here has been shattered beyond recognition, with deep pits everywhere among the cracks, and the air is filled with the smell of burning caused by fire and thunder.
There was an extremely deep sword mark among them. According to the disciple named Qin, it should be the blow that Ji You used to defeat the barbarian king.
At that time, there was still a surging murderous intent in the ravine, which did not dissipate for a long time, making people's hearts tremble wildly.
But soon, their attention was diverted.
Because when they went deeper into the valley, the huge crack across the sky came into view, and from a distance it looked like a shattered bronze mirror.
"It's really cracked. How could this happen?"
"Even if the Immortal Realm exerted its full strength, it might not be able to penetrate the void. What kind of terrifying force must have caused so many cracks? What exactly happened in the Holy Land of the Ancients?"
The elders who followed also landed at this moment, and were terrified when they saw this scene.
Because the shattering of the void was something they had never seen before, and it was also beyond their understanding.
More importantly, these cracks show no signs of healing, and the emptiness and darkness revealed are like unhealable wounds, naked and deep.
During this time, Zuo Qiuyang, the master of Zizai Palace, remained silent. Instead, he stared at the dense cracks, and a possibility gradually emerged in his mind.
"Let the head disciple stay here and take good care of this forest."
"What if other immortal sects come here?" Elder Ge couldn't help but ask.
Zuoqiu Palace Master thought for a moment and said, "If they want to know what happened, let them see, but no one else is allowed to enter."
"I'll arrange it right away."
At dawn, the sky in the east gradually turned white, but the morning mist was a bit thick, slowing down the speed of the morning light.
In the palace of the Demon Prince in Yunzhou, Ye Han was sitting with his sister Feng Yang and the young clan leaders of various tribes, discussing the matter of going to the barbarian tribe to meet the emperor.
After a pot of tea, they had almost selected the people who would meet with the emperor, and the gift list was almost finalized, and finally it was put into a document.
But even though the matter was handled quickly and decisively, the Demon Prince Ye Han still had a slight frown on his brow, as if he had something on his mind.
However, neither Feng Yang nor the young clan leaders of each tribe were confused about this, because they knew that the prince was waiting for the demon generals who went to Zhongzhou yesterday.
Lin Dou put down the teacup in his hand, adjusted his clothes, and looked at Feng Yang: "Does Your Highness the Princess enjoy listening to opera?"
"Listen to an opera?" Feng Yang raised his eyes.
"There are many opera troupes in Yunzhou City, and I'm very interested in them. A few days ago, I found some people from my clan to put on a show. I heard that the princess has always been fond of Kyushu culture and has asked people to collect paintings and storybooks from all over the place, so I specially invited the princess to come and watch it."
After Lin Dou finished speaking, he looked at the beautiful demon princess expectantly, with a hint of anticipation in his eyes.
However, before he could hear Feng Yang's answer, Yu Ling, the young leader of the Feather Tribe, could not help but speak: "Opera is just a commonplace form of human performance, not worthy of being performed on stage. I don't think Her Royal Highness would be interested in it."
"You know again?" Lin Dou's face couldn't help but look gloomy.
Yu Ling ignored him and turned to look at Feng Yang: "I have found some human medical skills in the city, and also collected some tools used by the human race for medical consultation. I have stored them in a medical clinic. Your Highness, you can go and see them."
Hearing these tit-for-tat words, the young chiefs of the three surrounding tribes of Tooth, Claw and Hair could not help but frown slightly.
However, they frowned not because of the discord in the two people's tone, but because they felt that the two of them were too cunning. At the same time, they also blamed themselves for not being able to prepare some gifts for the princess like them.
Feng Yang inherited the beauty of the Demon Queen and the talent of the Demon Emperor. He had just stepped into the Heavenly Demon Realm some time ago. He was gentle and virtuous, so naturally, many people secretly loved him.
Especially the young patriarchs of the five tribes, who stand out the most among this group of admirers.
Because it is a tradition for the demon clan to marry the princes of the five clans in order to maintain unity within the demon clan and make the ministers and the royal family as close as family, so these princes are the most likely to become the prince consort.
What surprised everyone was that Her Royal Highness the Princess did not accept either of the two invitations.
"Thank you, my two princes, for taking the trouble to take care of Feng Yang. However, my demon clan has just migrated to Yunzhou, and there are many things to do in the city. Let's talk about fun later."
Feng Yang put down the teacup and spoke softly.
Hearing this, Ye Han couldn't help but look up.
In fact, Feng Yang has indeed reached the age to get married. In the past two years, her mother has been urging her to get in touch with the princes of the five clans. However, Feng Yang has never agreed, and she has not said why. Her thoughts are quite difficult to guess.
Especially in recent years, Feng Yang, in addition to practicing, has also devoted herself to medical skills, which made Ye Han, her brother, even have the illusion that she doesn't want to get married at all.
Just as the room fell silent because of Feng Yang's unhesitating rejection, a sound of breaking air suddenly came from the sky.
Everyone in the room looked up when they heard the sound, and then saw that all the demon generals who had gone to Zhongzhou had returned.
Just from the outside, they looked a little embarrassed.
"Your Highness, the mission has failed."
"The things were taken away by the barbarians?"
Ye Han looked at Ye Tuo, whose face was ashen and coughing up blood from the corner of his mouth, and then glanced at Asakura, whose arms were still trembling, and couldn't help but stare at him and ask.
After the thousand-year-old aristocratic families joined forces to cause disaster to the human race, the strength of the major immortal cultivation families was severely hit, and many boundless combat forces were defeated in that disaster.
Therefore, in his opinion, it would not be difficult to seize items from the severely damaged human family as long as the timing was accurate and they were not dragged into the support of the Immortal Sect.
But he didn't expect the mission to fail, nor did he expect them to be injured.
So his first thought was the barbarians, because he knew that the barbarians would make the same decision as them.
What's more, the injuries on Yetaku and Asakura clearly showed the characteristics of being hit by external force, rather than being caused by human magic attacks.
After hearing this, Asakura raised his eyes and said, "Your Highness, do you still remember that more than three years ago, one of the human race who was sent to my Snow Region was seriously injured and subsequently killed the demon general Shuhe?"
"?"
"Thousands of years ago, the human race received the teachings of Heaven in a holy land, but due to the pressure of the holy artifact, the void was shattered. Later, they sealed it with great magic power and it became the holy land of the sages. When we arrived, we saw that the holy land of the sages was shattered. The surging immortal energy must have flowed out from it."
After finishing his words, Asakura paused and said, "We arrived with the barbarian generals one after another, but the thing was taken by a human named Ji You, who seriously injured Wang Danba and put him on the verge of death."
Hearing these words, the five princes behind Ye Han all showed incredible expressions.
Shuhe is very famous among the demon clan, and they naturally know Ji You who killed him.
Three years ago, Ji You was only at the Tongxuan realm of the human race, which was just the level of the Chen Yao of their demon race, and was even far below the Xuan Yao realm.
At that time, there was a rumor in the tribe that the human race fabricated Shuhe's death specifically to show off their military strength and try to intimidate the demon race.
The idea is that humans can kill a Xuan demon once they reach the Xuan realm. If they attack, you should think twice. It makes sense logically.
But no one expected that after more than three years of not seeing him, he was already able to suppress a barbarian king.
Ye Han was not surprised by this, because he had been surprised once when he was collecting information about the evil deeds of the thousand-year-old family, so he naturally knew that he had this ability.
His first reaction was to glance sideways at his sister Feng Yang.
Because he remembered that his sister seemed to have had a good impression of Ji You, and he was curious about how his sister would react after hearing this.
Unexpectedly, his sister didn't seem to react, as if she didn't remember this person very well, which made Ye Han feel a little relieved.
The demon race and the human race are in a state of opposition, and war is bound to break out in the future. Feng Yang is the descendant of the Demon Emperor, so his position and thoughts will have an impact on the tribe. It will also be related to the trust of the five tribes in the Demon Emperor's lineage. It would be best if my sister could forget about this person.
Ye Han came to his senses, invited the five princes back, and then asked the other demon generals to go back and recuperate.
Only Asakura was taken back to his study and asked about the details of the incident.
Especially the cracks in the holy land of the sages, and the shape and breath of that golden light.
At the hour of Si, the sun gradually rises.
Ye Han sent Chaokura out of the palace, then stood on the doorstep and fell into deep thought.
In fact, he was very clear about the significance of the Holy Land of Sages to the human race, because when the Heavenly Dao sent down the holy weapon to the human race, the demon race was also present.
It is not only the place of revival of the human race, but also the tribe of the human race.
If such a place suddenly cracks for no reason, it will definitely not be a good thing for the human race, and it may even be a sign of the demise of their race.
However, Ye Han couldn't figure out what the golden light that looked like a swimming fish was.
"Your Highness."
While he was thinking, a demon suddenly came from outside the mansion. He had feathers on his neck and was holding a wooden box in his hands.
Ye Han glanced at him and said softly, "Yu Ling's retainer?"
"In reply to your Highness, I am indeed a retainer of Master Ling, and I was specially ordered to deliver this item."
"What is this?" Ye Han looked at the brocade box.
"These are medical books," the retainer said as he opened the box. "They were all collected by the young master in the city, and are specially given to Princess Fengyang."
Just now in the prince's palace, Yu Ling's invitation was politely declined, so he decided to settle for the second best and send some medical books first, which could be regarded as a small improvement in his favorability and lay the foundation for the future.
Ye Han naturally saw through his thoughts at a glance, but did not refuse.
After sending Yu Ling's retainers away, Ye Han walked to his sister's residence, but did not see Feng Yang, only her maid Xiao Rou.
"Where's the princess?"
"In reply to your Highness, our clansmen have just moved to Yunzhou and are suffering from acclimatization issues. The princess has gone to treat them. I wonder what brings you here, Your Highness?"
"The prince of the Yu clan collected some medical books for Feng Yang and asked me to deliver them. It's okay if she's not here. I'll put them in her room. You can go and get busy."
"Your Highness..." Xiaorou suddenly became nervous, "Why don't you just give the medical book to me?"
Ye Han glanced at her, then said calmly: "It's okay, I'll go, you go down."
"yes……"
Ye Han watched Xiao Rou leave unnaturally, then walked to Feng Yang's room.
He could sense that Xiaorou was trying to stop him from entering the house, but he didn't know why.
After hesitating for a moment at the door, Ye Han reached out and pushed the door open, stepped over the threshold and walked in, then stayed in the room for a long time.
My sister's room is very tidy, and its decoration is not much different from her princess residence in the Snowland, but it is filled with paintings, making the whole room look not empty at all.
Most of these paintings are landscapes, with mountains, water, grass and trees, obviously not snowy scenery.
Ye Han reached out and picked up one of them, and found that it was written with Fengzhou Xiangzi Lake.
In addition to the landscape painting, Ye Han also caught a glimpse of a portrait placed near the dormitory, so he walked over, took a look, and fell silent again.
Because the painting showed a human being sitting in a wheelchair with his hands hanging down.
Ye Han was silent for a long time, and a hint of worry couldn't help but appear in his eyes.
He now understood why his sister was no longer interested in the princes of the five clans. It was unbelievable. So many years had passed, but his sister was still obsessed with Ji You, whom she had only met a few times.
[I heard that the princess has always been fond of Kyushu culture and once asked someone to collect paintings and storybooks from all over.]
When he thought of this, he couldn't help but recall what Lin Dou said in the morning, and thought that his sister didn't like Kyushu culture at all, she simply liked Fengzhou where that person was.
And next to this painting there is another one, which is obviously a new painting.
The painting depicts a busy farmland, and next to it stands a stone statue holding a long sword, looking down from above.
Ye Han recalled the day when the human race migrated and his sister suddenly disappeared.
It seems that she was not wandering around the northern border as she said, but went to Fengzhou secretly.
Ye Han looked at the tall and majestic figure in the portrait, thought for a long time, then turned and left Feng Yang's room.
Xiaorou had been staying in the side courtyard, looking at her princess's room through the gap in the moon gate. She only hurried to greet the prince when she saw him coming out of the room.
But when she got closer, she found that he had taken out the box containing the medical books again.
"Your Highness..."
"You should give it to her, and don't tell her I was here."
"yes."
At the same time, in the north city of Baihua City.
The prince of the Lin clan left the prince's residence and came to a nearby restaurant, where he sat across from the prince of the Ya clan, Yashan, and drank.
After their people were relocated here, they were all settled in the five large counties surrounding Baihua City.
As the young chiefs, they have been busy with resettlement matters during this period, and have ordered their tribesmen to start trying farming and breeding. They have been busy for a long time, and today they have had a moment of free time to discuss the list of envoys.
However, just as the two were sitting opposite each other and chatting, Lin Dou saw Yu Ling also walking into the restaurant.
Their eyes met, and the coldness and arrogance in their eyes collided silently, and finally retracted together.
For Lin Dou, the status of the Yu Clan is not as high as that of the Lin Clan, and even judging from their cultivation and appearance, Feng Yang would not like him, so he is not to be feared at all.
But seeing him jumping wildly in front of him, the young and hot-tempered man couldn't help but release hostility.
Yu Ling had similar thoughts. He never considered Lin Dou to be his opponent, especially in terms of intelligence.
At this moment, a row of carriages appeared on the spacious street. The carriages were fully loaded with Snow Demon Stones and were rumbling towards the South City, attracting their attention.
"The human race is still trading spirit stones with us?"
"Yes, and the number is increasing." Lin Dou answered casually.
After looking at him for a long time, Yashan suddenly turned to look at him: "By the way, I heard someone say that you went out of the city during the last Spirit Stone transaction. What did you do?"
"Nothing much, just went out for a walk and found some things Feng Yang might like."
"Is this the play you put together?"
Lin Dou nodded, then picked up the wine glass and drank the wine.
He had indeed left the city with the transport team some time ago, but he was not looking for a play or anything like that. Instead, he brought a brocade box back from the Snowland to Zhongzhou as his father had instructed and buried it under a designated tree.
He still didn't know who his father was contacting. He only knew that when he went to check the next day, the brocade box had been taken away.
Zhongzhou is the territory of the human race and there are no demons. He believes his father's loyalty to the demons, but he doesn't understand why his father keeps in touch with the human race.
