Chapter 509 (Additional Words) No Need to Blame Yourself
"…………This is what happened. We don't know when the Ice Age will open. But it's not easy to meet you once, so…I invited you to discuss this."
Wei Fuzhi's slender joints tapped the tabletop with a regular, crisp sound. He lowered his eyes, not knowing what he was thinking. After a long pause, he said in a deep voice:
"I know that place. I will go there too and can take you with me. But... I have one condition."
"What conditions? As long as we can do it, just name them!" Xue Yi stood up excitedly, and the others were obviously also overjoyed.
Wei Fuzhi chuckled, "Don't worry, I will find a way to contact you later. Wait until you leave the Yama Palace, then come and negotiate with me. After all... the dead are not qualified to negotiate."
After saying that, the man disappeared like a ghost, leaving everyone staring at each other in bewilderment.
Speaking of going to Yama Palace, Xue Yi suddenly remembered something. She stretched out her hand, and the cracked anti-poison bead appeared.
The woman held her head in her hands, feeling distressed. "What should I do? I promised Jianjia to return it to her, but now it's cracked..."
Bai Ye took the poison-avoiding bead and said thoughtfully, "I know a skilled weapon refiner who should have a solution. Give me the bead first, and I will return it to Jianjia after I repair it."
"Okay..." Xue Yi tilted her head, lay down and started thinking.
In fact, the Deadly Ghost Valley is not that dangerous. Apart from the lethal poisonous miasma in the outer circle, the skills of the people in the tribe are indeed not very high.
However...if it weren't for Jianjia's anti-poison beads, they might not have been able to get deep into the inner circle.
Ji Wuchen's Gale Spell alone would not be able to last that long.
But it’s not that easy in Yama Palace.
The Yama Palace is located in the demon world. The mountains are high and the roads are long. There are many troubles and it is not a easy road to travel.
According to Xue Yi, neither Bai Ye nor Luo Jing can go on this trip.
One is the God of War from the God Realm, and the other is the God Emperor. Once they appear in the Demon Realm, the consequences will be disastrous.
It might be considered as a signal of war by the demon world, or it might become a topic of conversation in the demon world in the future. In any case, the common people and ordinary monks are innocent.
So the two of them could not go.
Ji Wuchen and Xie Lanyue are both famous powerful beings in the Floating Light Realm. Their names are well-known. Although their true forms are only demigods,... they represent the human world, which is also the First State.
These two can't go either. If the demon world has something on them, they'll have a reason to attack the human world...
In this way, Shi Yuan was the only one left by Xue Yi's side.
Oh yes, there is also Zhou Yuran...
But he has no magic, so he can't go there; it's too dangerous.
Thinking of Zhou Yuran, Xue Yi felt a little guilty.
It seems like I haven't visited him for a long time. I've been busy with a lot of things recently and have no time to take care of him. I wonder how he is doing now?
But with 007 in the space, it's safe and nothing serious should happen.
Never mind, I'll go see him when I'm done...
She stared at Shi Yuan, with a conflict between her conscience and her desires in her mind.
Although the big killer was extremely powerful, but... she always felt a little uneasy about this trip.
It would be too risky to bring Shi Yuan alone. Once he or she falls into the trap, the other party will definitely be distracted.
But apart from Shi Yuan, who else can accompany her...
The candidate Xue Yi has not been decided yet, so everyone took a brief rest.
midnight.
Bai Ye stepped lightly into the small orchid cottage where Jianjia lived. The moonlight filtered through the sparse clouds, sprinkling on the bluestone path in patches, adding a touch of softness to the quiet night.
He held the cracked anti-poison bead tightly in his hand, feeling mixed emotions.
Inside the cottage, Jianjia was sitting by the window, holding an ancient book in her hand. The moonlight shone on her soft face, making her look even gentler.
Bai Ye coughed lightly, breaking the silence.
Jianjia looked up, a hint of surprise flashed in her eyes, and then she smiled and said, "Your Majesty the Divine Emperor is visiting so late at night, but what's the important matter?"
Bai Ye walked slowly forward and gently placed the anti-poison bead on the table. The crack was even more shocking under the dim candlelight.
"Jianjia, thanks to your poison-proof bead, we were able to return safely this time. But it...was damaged due to absorbing a large amount of poison gas." He said with a hint of apology in his tone.
"Xue Yi felt very guilty about this. She didn't want to see you disappointed but had no other options, so I lied and said I had a way to repair it, and took the pearl on my own initiative."
"She has been away from Fuguang for a long time and doesn't know that there is only one poison-avoiding bead and it cannot be repaired. This is my idea. I am afraid that it will be useless if I return it to you after it is broken, so I came here with the bead to apologize."
Upon hearing this, Jianjia gently put down the ancient book in her hand, her eyes gently fell on the poison-avoiding beads, she smiled slightly,
"Your Majesty, you are too kind. The Poison-Repelling Pearl was created for protection. Its greatest value lies in its ability to protect you. Although there are cracks, they are also a testimony to its bravery."
"Please tell Her Highness Xue Yi that there is no need to blame herself. Although this bead cannot be restored, the peace and hope it brings are far better than its material form. As for me, I have nothing but gratitude in my heart, gratitude that it once protected you." After she finished speaking, she gently raised her hand, and her fingertips lightly touched the crack, and the bead instantly turned into powder.
When Bai Ye saw this, a complex emotion flashed across his eyes, including regret for the disappearance of the anti-poison bead and admiration for Jianjia's open-minded mind.
He bowed deeply and said sincerely, "Goddess Jianjia, I admire your broad mind and generosity. I will remember what happened today. No matter in the Floating Light Realm or the God Realm, if you need anything or if there is anything we can do for you, just give me your word and I will do my best and never break my promise."
Jianjia waved her hands quickly, a little apprehensive, "Your Majesty the Divine Emperor is too polite. There is really no need to be so polite."
"Your Highness the Saint is my benefactor. Without her, there would be no Jianjia today. A mere poison-avoiding bead is nothing. If you need me in the future, please let me know. I am willing to serve Your Highness."
When talking about snow, Jianjia always smiles especially gently.
How could she blame Her Highness the Saint for the crack of the anti-poison bead?
Saying "you can return it to her someday" was just an excuse, just to make the saint feel at ease to accept it.
As for the bead, she had already anticipated the outcome from the moment she gave it away.
There is nothing that she cannot let go of. There are so many treasures in Penglai. If there is anything that can help Her Highness the Saint in the future, she will still help.
Because when the saint saved her many years ago, she not only saved her life, but also saved her soul.
Jianjia used to be a naughty girl. She took advantage of her status as the daughter of the owner of Penglai Island to bully others. She ran out to show off her power when she got bored of playing on the island. She didn't expect that as soon as she left Penglai Island, she almost lost her life before she even met anyone to show off.
If the saint had not passed by that day and saved her in her immortal form, Jianjia would probably never have become the well-educated and able person to distinguish right from wrong that she is now.
Because after that day she made up her mind to become a powerful figure like the immortal, to punish evil and promote good, to save people from danger, and never let her father bring shame to her again.
From then on, the naughty Jianjia restrained her temper and seemed to have grown up overnight. She started to study hard and showed more and more demeanor of the island owner's daughter.
She often punishes evil and promotes good, subdues evil spirits, and eliminates evil spirits, and her reputation spreads far and wide.
This is also the reason why he did not refuse when the Lord of Penglai Island asked Bai Ye to confer the title of Goddess Jianjia on him.
Let’s digress and get back to the topic.
Xue Yi decided to set off three days later after resting.
But on the second day, someone Xueyi didn't expect appeared.
At that time, she was practicing sword skills with Afu on the top of Yangyue Mountain. Although they said they were practicing sword skills, Xueyi actually wanted to teach Afu some moves so that if she lost contact in the future, she would be able to protect herself.
Xue Yi was dressed in green, her sword gleaming like a silk thread, her figure as graceful as a startled swan, and every move and every style contained an extraordinary and arrogant aura.
A Fu followed closely behind. Although she seemed a little awkward, her eyes were full of seriousness. She stared at Xue Yi's movements closely, and tried hard to imitate the smooth and powerful trajectory with the sword in her hand.
She was not good at swordsmanship. Her magic skills were enough to fight against mortals in the other world, but when she returned to the Floating Light Realm, her skills were totally not enough.
She must study hard and not let His Highness down.
"The sword follows the heart; the sword follows the mind." Xue Yi's voice was as gentle as water. She turned lightly and tapped the tip of the sword lightly, leaving a brilliant sword shadow.
A breeze blew by, causing the two people's clothes to flutter, and the sword light and shadows intertwined together, like a moving painting.
After practicing for two hours, the two sat in the pavilion on the top of the mountain to rest, drink tea and chat. Suddenly, an extremely strong pressure appeared above the barrier of Yangyue Valley.
Xue Yi's expression suddenly changed, and a trace of solemnity flashed across her brows. She quickly stood up and said to A Fu in a low voice:
“Hurry! Hide deep in the barrier, and no matter what happens, don’t come out.” After saying that, without waiting for Afu’s response, Xue Yi flashed and turned into a stream of light, rushing straight into the sky.
In the air, the pressure became increasingly intense, as if a dark cloud was pressing down on one’s head, making it hard to breathe.
Xue Yi stood in the void, with his silver-white sword unsheathed. A faint chill surrounded the sword, forming a sharp contrast with the solemn atmosphere around it.
She stared ahead and saw a figure with an unfamiliar face slowly walking out of the clouds.
The man was wearing a black cloak, his face hidden in the shadows, revealing only a pair of turbid eyes. He was staring at Xue Yi coldly. A strange black air current surrounded his body, making people feel chilled.
"Who are you? Why did you appear above my Yangyue Valley? Don't you know that this is a forbidden area?" she asked, but the man in black robe did not answer, but only smiled at her sinisterly.
Xue Yi's heart trembled, and Ling Xiao swung out his sword suddenly. The tip of the sword cut through the air, bringing up a piercing scream, and pointed directly at the heart of the man in black robe.
The man in black robe did not move, but just raised his hand slightly, and an invisible force instantly twisted Xue Yi's sword energy and turned it into nothingness.
The black-robed man sneered and said in a low, cold voice: "Today is the day you die!"
After saying this, he slowly raised his right hand, and a ball of dark and powerful energy gathered in his palm.
Xue Yi frowned. The power made her feel uncomfortable for some reason. It was nauseating, cold, and weird, making her feel cold all over.
She raised her shield with a gentle shout, "Ling Zhen Jiu Xiao, Defend!"
The Lingxiao Sword hummed, and the sword body suddenly burst into a dazzling light, illuminating the surrounding dark sky.
Xue Yi gripped the hilt of the sword tightly with both hands. The spiritual power in her body surged and gathered on the tip of the sword, forming an indestructible transparent shield that covered the area within several feet around her.
Complex runes flowed on the surface of the shield, flashing with a light of lightning and ice, as if it contained the ultimate truth of heaven and earth, enough to resist all evil in the world.
The dark energy in the black-robed man's palm came crashing down, but was bounced back the moment it touched the shield, causing a loud bang that shook the surrounding space, but the shield remained as solid as a rock, unshakable.
Xue Yi stood among them, her eyes firm and inviolable.
"No matter who sent you to kill me, today, I will make sure you never return!"
Xue Yi's eyes flashed, and she decided not to passively defend anymore.
She chanted the sword formula softly, and the spiritual energy in her body boiled like a river bursting its banks, surging violently.
"Addictive, killer!"
As she whistled, the wind and clouds between heaven and earth changed. In the originally peaceful valley, suddenly thousands of sword energies gathered from all directions, each of which flashed with cold light and was extremely sharp.
These sword energies intertwined in the air to form a huge sword net, covering the man in black robe with the force of thunder.
Seeing this, the black-robed man's expression changed slightly, and the black aura around him became thicker, trying to resist the overwhelming rain of swords.
However, Xue Yi's sword skills have reached perfection. Ten thousand swords are fired at the same time, unstoppable. Each sword accurately penetrates the gaps in the black air and goes straight to the black-robed man's body.
The man in black robe was caught in the rain of swords and looked in a miserable state. In the end, he had to use the art of space distortion to barely escape the fatal blow. He disappeared into the depths of the clouds, leaving behind a string of cold laughter echoing in the valley.
"Do you think that the people around you are sincere to you? They are all plotting your identity as the Saint of the Ji Family and the unique Heart-Linking Stone!"
"One day you will feel deserted by your friends and family! By then, it will be easy for me to kill you!"
Xue Yi stood tall and straight, and her silver-white sword made a clear sound when it was sheathed. Her face was frosty and her eyes were ice-cold.
Afu and her group hurried over, with Shi Yuan walking in front, his brows furrowed, his eyes wandering between the snow and the broken wood scattered around, obviously still in fear from the fierce battle just now.
"Are you okay?" He teleported to her side, his eyes full of worry. He was about to check her carefully, but Xue Yi avoided him.
"fine."
"I want to be alone for a while. No one is allowed to disturb me tonight." She disappeared in a flash, leaving behind only a cold fragrance.
As night falls, a slight chill and the lingering scent of sword energy fill the valley.
Shi Yuan stood there, his eyes deep, as if he could penetrate the darkness and look directly at the unknown threat.
He turned around, frowning, and asked Afu, "Think carefully, is there anything unusual about the man in black robe? Or did he leave any clues during his actions?"
Afu frowned and thought carefully. Under the moonlight, her face looked particularly serious: "The black energy surrounding him is extremely dense, almost materializing, and... I vaguely remember that there seems to be a wolf's tooth mark on his wrist, it is black!" She gestured as she spoke, with a hint of confusion and uneasiness in her eyes.
