Candle Dragon to the left

Chapter 781 12. Emperor Kitahara

At night, the tall treetops of the birch forest block the wind and snow.

Li Xi'an lit a bonfire in front of the wooden house, and Nightmare was hanging upside down on the eaves as usual.

The fox asked curiously, "How do you always find a wooden house?"

"This is actually the supply line for pilgrims trekking through the snowfield. Now that the competition for the medium land has entered a fierce stage, these wooden houses have naturally been abandoned." Li Xian casually inserted the crystal iris into the snow beside him. This medium has been away from the earth vein for some time, and the petals drooped listlessly.

"This medium is very suitable for you, but unfortunately the grade is not high enough." Li Xian shook his head.

The Nightmare hanging upside down on the wooden house pricked up his ears.

"Are branch-level mediums not worthy of your attention?" The fox laughed. "When I first entered the world, I just picked a wild spiritual herb at random. The competition for mediums deep in the mountains is not something I can participate in. The ancient mountains of the rising era echoed with the roars of giant beasts all day long, and the blood in the soil has not dried up for years."

"If this is all you want, this medium is more than enough, but don't you want to kill Jiu Xiao?" Li Xi'an said, "Why would you need me to kill Jiu Xiao? You can do it yourself."

"He is the crowned king who has stood since the era of rise, the saint of returning to the source who governs the law of nothingness." said the fox.

"But you can win." Li Xian said, "No matter how powerful he is, he is essentially a despicable person. You just lack time to grow up. To be honest, I will not stay in this universe for too long, at most ten thousand years."

"Ten thousand years?" The fox was stunned. He thought that the time would not be too long, maybe only a few years, but he did not expect it to be as long as ten thousand years.

"I applied the cosmic law outside the universe. For a more macroscopic system, staying in this universe for ten thousand years is not a long time. It is equivalent to several months in my world. However, the cosmic law applied is only enough to support these ten thousand years. During this period, this spell cannot be replenished. Therefore, after ten thousand years, the speed of time passing will return to normal."

Li Xian added firewood to the campfire. There was no human-faced eagle sleeping under the ice in the birch forest. The firewood burning in the campfire was replaced by birch branches.

"We are entrusted with the laws of the universe, and the thing we have the least is time," said Li Xian.

"Can you tell me about your world?" asked the fox.

"My world?"

"It's hard to imagine that in another universe, I'm the strongest crowned king of Kyushu."

"Okay, I'll tell you slowly."

The night in Beiyuan is long, and the firewood for the campfire is enough to tell this story.

…………

The northern plains are a land of permafrost.

Because of the forbidden area caused by the coronation ceremony, even the Yangshen Realm can challenge the Jigong Emperor. The famous figures in the outside world are only left with a face in the ice field, forcing the pilgrims to be pulled to the same starting line.

As a result, heroes from all walks of life came together to join in the celebration, and people from all walks of life worked hard here, fighting fiercely to grab the high-quality media.

The wanted order from the royal city Cang Jue was issued, and spread to the entire Beiyuan along with several Void Law Orders. For a moment, countless gray shadows emerged from the sky above Cang Jue City. They were Void Messengers, carrying the news of the wanted order to faraway places.

Some people described seeing the Lord of the Nine Skies descending from the clouds, bringing lightning that shattered the mountains north of Cang Jue. His angry roars set off huge waves thousands of meters high in the North Sea, and towering lightning pillars extended from the Cang Jue Royal City to the easternmost ice crack.

It was also today that everyone knew why Lord Jiuxiao was furious and why the Jiuxiao Guards came out in full force.

An evil demon kidnapped the crown prince of Beiyuan!

The coronation ceremony that lasted for several years was held for this noble Holy Son. It was rumored that Jiuxiao Divine Lord had chosen him as his successor, allowing him to inherit the responsibility and power of the crowned king. But at this critical moment, the Holy Son was kidnapped in Cangjue King City. How could Jiuxiao Divine Lord not be furious, and how could the entire Beiyuan not be enraged?

No living creature can escape the Heavenly Wanted Order!

Just as everyone was waiting for the daring demon to be caught, by the Wusong River, Li Xi'an gently patted his shoulder, took out the Heavenly Aura that was locking him, and put it on the fox. "What is this?" The fox stared at the gray-white rune that Li Xi'an threw on him.

"The hunting order means that the targeted creature will always appear in the field of vision of the Jiuxiao Guards." Li Xian answered truthfully.

"Can't you just smash it to pieces instead of picking it off yourself?" the fox asked doubtfully.

Li Xi'an shook his head. "This is a law of the Return to Origin level. It requires Dao Yun to break it. Are you willing to pay for it? Before killing Jiu Xiao, you won't be able to sleep well for long."

The fox was silent.

"Where are we going?" He had to ask something else.

"There should be a medium suitable for you in the dragon vein gathering place. After you get the medium and make you rise again, we will leave Beiyuan and pass through the northeast of Yan Country to enter the Imperial City. As the imperial city of the human race, even if the Nine Sky Guards have a wanted order, they cannot act rashly. We can rest in the Imperial City and then go to Taihang Mountain."

"What are you going to do in Taihang Mountain?"

"You are a fox, use your brain. You were quite smart before you met me, weren't you?" Li Xian sighed. "We are being targeted by Jiu Xiao. He has offered a huge reward to attract heroes from all walks of life to take my head, and then capture you and put you in a cage. Jiu Xiao is the heir of Jiuzhou, and his influence is huge. If there is no one of the same level to compete with him, he can hunt us down to the corner of the universe."

"Think carefully, what is there in Taihang Mountains?" said Li Xian.

"The… crown of the Taihang Dragon Vein?"

"That's right. Let's go find her and ask her to help entangle Jiu Xiao to relieve our pressure."

Fox glanced at Li Xian. He didn't think this man was under any pressure. He looked like he was here for sightseeing, even if he was being hunted by the Law of Nothingness. Nightmare hung on his shoulders, and he was drowsy in the cold wind.

Walking along the Wusong River, the sky and the earth look the same, as if there is no end.

But they were soon found.

It was a group of pilgrims, approaching with menacing eyes. Nightmare was alert and Fox pricked up his ears. It was obvious that these pilgrims came for the huge reward, and they were armed with bad intentions.

"Hey, you grassland people over there!" The leader of the pilgrims was a middle-aged man wearing heavy leather armor and a huge axe blade under his cloak. He had a hooked nose, curly hair, and deep eye sockets. He looked like a real northern plains man.

The pilgrims following behind had different appearances. It seemed that this leader had gathered talents from all over the world.

"Hey! Prairie man over there, wait a minute!" the middle-aged man shouted.

"What's the matter?" Li Xian stopped and turned around to ask.

"Please stay!" The middle-aged man approached, but stayed dozens of meters away. For the current forbidden area, this distance can be considered a safe space for both parties.

The wind and snow were howling, and the man actually knelt on one knee and bowed to Li Xian, "We are the former ministers of the former emperor of Beiyuan, and we beg for your help!"

Emperor Kitahara, what a strange and weird name.

Even Xue Wuya was stunned for a moment.

"Never heard of it." Li Xian shook his head. Since he was not here to cause trouble, he prepared to leave.

“Xiza!” the man said in a deep voice, “Xiza, the emperor of Beiyuan during the Rising Era! Jiuxiao is not a creature of Jiuzhou at all! He was the one who murdered Emperor Xiza!”
