Bai Li tapped the eaves with her toes and fell into the courtyard like a snowflake.
She placed her right hand on the hilt of the sword, a cold light flashing in her eyes.
"Xia He, today's humiliation will definitely cost you..."
Before she finished her words, she suddenly froze.
In the shadow of the ancient locust tree in the courtyard.
A figure was slowly emerging - it was a strange man shrouded in black fog.
With every step I took, a layer of frost formed on the ground.
"Who are you?"
Bai Li's pupils suddenly shrank and the sword was unsheathed in an instant.
A hoarse laugh came from the black fog:
"Hmm? Where did this little girl come from?"
This figure was none other than the Heavenly King of Misty Rain Tower sent by the Sixth Prince of the Northern Barbarians. He was a genuine Xuan Xiang expert.
Xia He defeated the barbarian armies twice in succession.
So, they prepared to capture Xia He, the biggest threat, and bring him back!
But to reach Youzhou so quietly, one had to pay a huge price.
That is to sacrifice a whole tribe of a thousand people from the Northern Barbarians! So they are determined to win!
After seeing Bai Li, the King frowned.
"Where is Xia He..."
Before he could finish his words, Bai Li's sword was already in front of him!
This sword was as fast as lightning, it was the Tianjian Sect's unique skill "Flowing Light and Shadow"!
"Oh, how rude."
"clang!"
A skinny hand stretched out from the black fog and clamped the sword with two fingers.
Bai Li's face changed drastically as she finally saw the blood-red crescent moon embroidered on the other person's chest - this was the symbol of the King of Beiman Yanyu Tower!
"Mysterious Elephant Realm?!"
Her face changed drastically, and she immediately dropped her sword and retreated.
But the shadow chased after her like a thorn in her flesh, its dry hands turning into claws as it went straight for her throat!
"boom!"
At this critical moment, a sword energy suddenly burst out from the east of the city!
The sword energy was like the upside-down Milky Way, and the murderous intent could be sensed across half the city.
"The sword-crazy old ghost from Tianjian Sect..."
The black shadow roared unwillingly, grabbed Bai Li and disappeared into the night.
......
In the shadow of the alley, Xia He slowly loosened his hand holding the knife, his palms full of cold sweat.
He happened to see this scene when he was returning to the city just now. The pressure emanating from the black shadow almost froze his blood.
"This aura... the one who betrays God?"
"This level... Heavenly King of Misty Rain Tower... Mysterious Elephant Realm..."
He remembered that his master once said that every time the northern barbarian god-worshippers reached a higher level, they needed to sacrifice living people.
Anyone who can cultivate to the level of Xuan Xiang must have at least tens of thousands of lives on his hands!
There was a noise in the distance, and Xia He quickly disappeared into the darkness.
Not long after, he saw a slovenly old man coming in the air.
There was a wine gourd hanging around his waist - it was the elder of Tianjian Sect, "Sword Maniac".
"Rat-like thing..."
The old man stared at the frost on the ground, his expression suddenly becoming extremely disgusted and gloomy, and he chased after him in an instant.
......
Returning to the study, Xia He immediately wrote a letter:
“Master,
A Heavenly King of the Mysterious Elephant Realm appeared in Youzhou from the Misty Rain Tower. I am afraid that I will not be able to deal with him. I request support."
After finishing writing, he stared at the candle flame in a daze.
"Half Moon..."
Xia He stroked the hilt of the knife.
It would take at least half a month for the master to come after receiving the letter. If the king of heaven comes again during this period...
He suddenly remembered the animal-attracting incense he had made today.
Perhaps, the Blood Qilin is the key to breaking the impasse?
"We must break through to the Tongmai realm as soon as possible to have the power to protect ourselves."
“It’s difficult!”
Logically speaking, with his current perfect strength of Hua Jin, he can go anywhere with ease!
But when you reach this level, what you come into contact with is either the meridians or the mysterious phenomena!
Is this intensity a bit too great?
"It would be nice if the master was here..."
…
…
The news of Linghe being robbed spread like wildfire throughout Youzhou City. Upon hearing the news, the disciples of the major sects all stood up and slammed their desks.
"White Robe Army? How brave!"
The black-robed old man from the Xuanyin Sect crushed the teacup with one hand.
"Gather the men, and crush these bandits today!"
"Brother, do we really want to help the imperial court suppress the bandits?"
Someone asked in a low voice.
"idiot!"
The team leader sneered.
"Without Linghe, how can we attract the Blood Qilin?"
All of a sudden, masters from all factions came out in droves.
There was dust flying outside Youzhou City, and those who didn't know would think that the imperial court had launched a war to suppress bandits.
......
At the same time, Xia He traveled alone through the most dangerous Longgu Mountains in Youzhou.
He was carrying a specially made quiver and had an animal-attracting incense hanging around his waist, going in the opposite direction of this group of sect disciples.
“This is it.”
Two days later, Xia He stood in a circular valley.
There are cliffs on three sides here.
He took out a bronze incense burner and lit the dark red animal-attracting incense.
"laugh--"
The strange thing is that when this incense burns, it makes a hissing sound like a living thing.
Wisps of green smoke twisted and rose up, then scattered in the air.
After an hour, most of the incense had burned down.
Just as Xia He frowned, the ground suddenly began to shake!
"roar--!!!"
Amidst a deafening roar, a scarlet figure pounced down from the top of the cliff!
It was a giant beast that was three meters long.
Its entire body is covered with blood-jade scales, and its four hooves are burning with dark blue flames.
The most terrifying thing is the spiral golden horn on its forehead, which is emitting heart-pounding energy fluctuations.
“Well done!”
Xia He’s spear was like a dragon, piercing the back of the blood unicorn’s neck the moment it landed!
This shot was as fast as lightning, and it was the killer move "Hidden Dragon Emerging from the Abyss" in the "Immortal Dragon Spear"!
