Chapter 41: A Grim Past
Speaking of business, King Wu Zhengse said: "It's a small task, but it's actually a very important thing. This is the assessment content of your entry into the inner mansion of the Martial King's Mansion, if you can succeed, I will give you more rewards, if you fail, you may not get the reward of the new martial arts promised before. ”
"Uh......" The five were speechless.
Is this an unknown cheat? The winner who said that there was a reward, and now he has added conditions, which is too much, right?
However, they only dare to scold their mothers in their hearts, who dares to really protest?
"Alright, now I'll tell you what the task is. In recent years, our Tianwu Holy Dynasty has often had friction with the adjacent major holy dynasties, and even has a tendency to become more and more intense, and a few days ago I received a tip-off that a group of Izumo Holy Dynasty's vanguard team infiltrated the eastern border area of our Tianwu Holy Dynasty. ”
"There is a primeval jungle, under the jurisdiction of the Ping Wangfu, there is a tribe in the jungle, called the Sandalwood Tribe, because of the special location, and there are various ancient ruins in the primeval jungle, so that the tribal leaders have broken through to the underground palace Canghai realm, is not a weak force. This time, in order to train the new cultivators, King Ping discussed with me, and each sent five people to force out this group of vanguard squads. ”
"Do you know their strength and numbers?" Su Yao continued to ask.
"About twenty people, as for the strength, the lowest is the sixth level of the Nine Dragons Yuan God Realm, and the highest is not very clear. ”
"What? Wouldn't we be sent to death when we went?" Ju Wantong was the first to sit still, the other party's strength was so strong, didn't that push them into the wolf's den?
"Don't worry, I'll go with you and protect you secretly. Mo Bing spoke.
In this way, their safety is indeed guaranteed.
Xiao Yu asked again: "I still don't understand, why didn't I deal with it as soon as I found the enemy, but waited until now?
"That's a good question, in fact, when we found them, they had been infiltrating for a while, and the headache was that they had already penetrated into the interior of the local tribe at that time, and had a good relationship with the tribal leader, and now they are all called brothers, if we make a rash move, I am afraid that it will cause the tribal leader to be dissatisfied, and it may be possible to directly commit treason and join the Izumo Sacred Dynasty, and then the gain will outweigh the loss. ”
"So, in fact, our task is not to fight them head-on, but to sow discord between them and the Sandalwood Tribe, so that they can completely break with each other, and then use the hands of the Sandalwood Tribe to get rid of them. Su Yao immediately grasped the crux of the problem.
In this case, it is not impossible to accomplish, so the task is a test of strategy, not strength. ”
"Strategy is also part of strength, you guessed right, give you a month, from here to the Sandalwood tribe, at the speed of Mo Bing, with the five of you, it will take about two and a half days, one back and forth is five days, so you have twenty-five days to complete the task, as for the details, Captain Mo Bing will tell you in detail on the road. What do you think?"
"Since it's a mission, then we don't have the right to refuse, so let's decide, and we'll set off tomorrow. The five of them deliberated and decided to leave tomorrow.
Then the five of them quit and returned to their respective rooms.
"Su Yao, Xiao Yu, and Qingyue all have secrets, and the three of them must be the pillars of our Tianwu Holy Dynasty in the future, and you must protect and guide them. ”
"Yes!"
............................................
Yang Yuxuan waited in the room for a long time, and finally saw the two of them come back, and hurriedly stepped forward to ask, Su Yao and Qingyue explained the matter in detail.
"It won't be too dangerous to say that, and I can rest assured that I'll have Captain Wan with me. ”
"Mother, have you heard of the Sandalwood Tribe?"
"I've heard of this sandalwood tribe, it is said that the leader of the tribe found an ancient ruin in the jungle a few years ago, and got a lot of benefits, and broke through to the underground palace Canghai realm in just a few years. The rest of the tribe was also blessed by this, making the overall strength of the entire tribe comparable to the upper echelons of the one hundred and eight cities. ”
"So, this leader is also a high-minded and arrogant person?"
"That's right, because his strength has increased greatly in recent years, he has also become more and more inflated. If you don't take anyone seriously, the people of the Izumo Sacred Dynasty must have spent a lot of effort to get through the relationship. Yao'er, have you thought of a countermeasure?"
"Not yet, let's see when the time comes. By the way, Yue'er, I have something for you. ”
"Hmm, what does the young master want to give Yue'er?"
"This!" Su Yao flipped his palm and took out a spirit fruit from the ring, and as soon as he took it out, the whole room was filled with spiritual energy, overflowing with light, and it could be seen from the outside, and the flesh inside was flowing like liquid.
"This is the Gathering God Fruit! Young Master, this is the prize you won during the Spirits Trial, this is too precious for me to accept. ”
Qing Yue recognized this spirit fruit at a glance, and after coming to Su Yao's house, Su Yao talked to her about a lot of things about her past, including this Gathering God Fruit.
"It's okay, now I'm only the eighth level of the Golden Body Yuan Dan Realm, and I don't need it yet, after a while, it will be wasted after the medicinal effect, it just so happens that you are already the ninth level of the Golden Body Yuan Dan Realm, and you are one step away from the Nine Dragons Yuan God Realm, this Gathering God Fruit can just help you, I think with your physique, from now to tomorrow, you should be able to completely absorb it, and then break through." ”
"But ......"
"Okay, Yue'er, since Yao'er gave it to you, you can take it, this time you still have to have some self-preservation power to go out to practice, now the five of you are the weakest, in order to prevent the three of them from disdaining you, you have to improve your strength as soon as possible, and also, your time is urgent, you need it more than Yao'er. ”
Under Yang Yuxuan's persuasion, Qing Yue was finally willing to use this spirit fruit and thanked Su Yao for a while.
"Okay, Yue'er, I've worked hard for you, I can't rest just after the martial arts competition, but it's too important for you to improve your strength, go quickly, and strive to break through early." ”
"Well, I will definitely repay the young master's kindness, and I will go and refine it. Qing Yue got up and walked to the side of the bed, sat down cross-legged, and used Wu Yuan to break the spirit fruit, and suddenly the fragrance of the spiritual energy was more pure, mixed with a strong medicinal fragrance. Qing Yue opened his mouth and drank the spiritual liquid in it and began to refine.
"I'll protect her tonight, Yao'er, what are your plans tonight?" asked Yang Yuxuan.
"I'm fine, just go outside. ”
"Well, stay safe. Don't be too late. ”
"Okay, then I'm out. ”
.............................................
..........................
The night in the city of Wuwangfu is also quite prosperous, all kinds of colorful lights are hung all over the streets, there are still a lot of people shopping, and many shops are not closed.
"In addition to cultivating, it is also a kind of fun to occasionally come to experience the world and customs. It also helps with mood. ”
"Yes, I haven't tasted the suffering of the world, and it's hard to understand the way. A calm voice came from behind Su Yao.
The voice is familiar, too.
"Ruthless?"
"Well, what a coincidence, you also came out for a walk?"
"yes, come out and relax. I didn't expect you to have such a casual elegance. ”
"I don't want to be bored in my room all the time. "Gloomy is still masked, but the difference is that he has changed to an ordinary outfit.
In this way, the two walked together, chatting as they walked.
"So, can you tell us your story now?" asked Su Yao.
Gloomy Ruthless suddenly stopped, looked at Su Yao, and then sighed.
"Well, it's all in the past anyway, so it's okay to tell you. ”
"Listen up. ”
The two continued to stroll forward.
"Where to start, I remember when I was very young, when I was called Gloomy. There is a girl in the small mountain village where I live, and I am a childhood sweetheart, we play together, cultivate together, after a long time, I have feelings for her, until five years ago, my father and mother proposed for me, she also agreed, everything seems to be very beautiful. ”
"Childhood sweetheart, it's good, but what happened later?"
"But one day I found out that she actually betrayed me, and a boy in Suglaze City got involved, I was very angry at the time, I couldn't help myself to find the door, but that person's strength exceeded me too much, instantly broke my leg, she said I can't give her the life she wants, I want no background, I want no strength, I want money or no money, why should she wronged herself, I returned to the village in discouragement, and found that my father and mother were killed by the thugs sent by that person, heartbroken I strayed into the devil's way, and accidentally got a magic way, so I hid in the mountains and secretly practiced, and changed my name to Gloomy Ruthless, in order to remind yourself of the hurt you have suffered. ”
"Uh, I'm sorry, I don't know......"
"It took me two years to grow up, and then I went back and killed the dog man and woman, and then hid until I heard the news of Naxin Wubi and reappeared, and showed great strength and was protected by the lord of the city. ”
"It turned out to be a demon for love, but I didn't expect Brother Gloom to have such a past, and it made you think of sad things again, I'm sorry. Su Yao was very guilty, if it weren't for himself, he wouldn't have to mention these things again.
"It's okay, it's all gone, and I've been holding it for so long, and I finally said it, it's much more comfortable, as early as when I killed them, my heart knot had already opened, so I also have a good mind when I cultivate. It's just that the identity of the demon cultivator is still often criticized. ”
"I can feel that the exercises you practice are not a great rebellion, it can be seen that you are not a ferocious person, if you don't mind, I can be your first friend after being a new student, how about it?"
Su Yao's words shocked him, friend, it was already a strange word to him, he had been hiding for so many years, and he rarely even communicated with people, Su Yao's proposal made him a little surprised.
"Hehe, okay, if you don't mind having a demon cultivator friend. ”
"Hahaha, okay. ”
Under the night view of the lanterns, the two became friends, and in the future, they were also important partners in the construction of roads.
Suddenly, the two looked at each other, and both understood the meaning in each other's eyes.
