Chapter 786 17. The King of Taihang

Zhenyue walked towards the central area of ​​Taihang Mountains with heavy steps.

There was an unhealed wound on his head, left by the Nine Heavens General. The general was powerful, but he had no chance of winning against one of the Eight Kings in the Taihang area, and was expelled by Zhenyue. At this moment, Zhenyue's heavy back was carrying the guest that the King of Taihang was waiting for.

With every step the black tortoise took, it crossed a mountain. The birds in the mountains flew up in flutters. This was not because the birds were startled, but because the creatures in the Taihang Mountains regarded the sight of the Eight Kings as an auspicious sign and were circling around the four legs of the towering pillar that Zhenyue Mountain was built on.

The mountains are steep and dangerous, and the rivers are like cut mud.

Xue Wuya took in the beautiful scenery of Taihang Mountain from a high place, and felt a strange surge in his heart, a feeling he had never experienced in a cage. The spiritual energy in his body roared and a black light overflowed from his body, forming a tiger-shaped phantom.

Li Xi'an took a glance and was not surprised. Xue Wuya had eaten the medium that grew in Xiza's heart in Beiyuan. It was impossible for Xue Wuya at that time to completely absorb the medium of a king. Now the medium in his body began to really take effect.

Soon, the black light disappeared, Xue Wuya's breath stabilized, and his eyes flashed with brilliance. He was completely stabilized in the Yang God realm.

Xue Wuya sat cross-legged, thinking of what the Nine Skies General had said, and asked, "That person said that you were trapped by the Nine Skies, and your cultivation was destroyed by the Law of Nothingness. Is this true?"

Li Xian nodded, "Indeed, I was trapped. After I turned back and encountered Jiu Xiao again, that guy became a little different... He was not fanatical or arrogant, but calm and careful. I did not expect his change and was trapped in Jiuyou Prison."

Xue Wuya frowned upon hearing this, "Change... How could there be such a change? Was your cultivation really destroyed by the Law of Nothingness?"

At this time, Li Xi'an shook his head and said, "I have no cultivation in the first place. I can drive the changes of heaven and earth only by relying on my understanding and grasp of the rules."

Xue Wuya was stunned when he heard this, but considering the other party's mysterious methods, it was normal for him to do something extraordinary.

After all, he has never practiced cultivation in a deliberate and hard manner.

"Hey! Holy Son, you don't know that Jiuxiao deliberately set up a net of heaven and earth, as if they expected him to go back. They directly seized the opportunity and pushed him into the bottom of Jiuyou Prison. I could only be strangled to death by Jiuxiao guards like a drowned chicken. I didn't even have the strength to struggle." Nightmare came out from the side.

"Then what are you..."

"Don't mention it. Although I died, I crawled out of the nightmare of Jiuxiaowei. Oh, it was a difficult time!" Nightmare's expression was exaggerated. He glanced at Li Xian who was sitting there and whispered, "Master Xiemo is their nightmare, so I can change into his appearance after crawling out! Why don't you ask him how he got out of Jiuyou Prison? When I was resurrected, he had already left Jiuyou Prison. It was not easy for me to catch up with him."

"Because Jiuxiao has turned back into the arrogant and fanatical guy he was before." Li Xian said. He looked at the distant Taihang Mountains and pondered the reason for Jiuxiao's change. "It seems that there is another will in his body. Jiuxiao does not trust the other will and even removed the law, allowing me to seize the opportunity to leave Jiuyou Prison."

"My lord noticed the strange behavior of Lord Jiuxiao hundreds of years ago." A dull noise came from beneath him, and it was Zhenyue who spoke.

"My Lord has connections all over the country. He has set up secret lines in the Northern Desert and the northeast of Yan Country, which are closest to the Northern Plains. The Canglangs will guard the pass of the Northern Desert for my Lord, and the Five Immortals and the black beast will help my Lord lock onto the course of the Wusong River. Ever since I heard about the wanted order issued by Lord Jiuxiao, my Lord has ordered the Canglangs and the Five Immortals to be ready to respond at any time."

"Since you have noticed the strange behavior, why don't those crowned officials go into Beiyuan to find out what's going on?" Xue Wuya said.

"In your opinion, would the crowned kings leave their own territory for such a thing?" Zhen Yue asked back, "It's just that they noticed something strange. No one is qualified to question a crowned king. He is one of the cornerstones for Jiuzhou to take root in the universe. Besides, it's meaningless to take the initiative to go to Beiyuan to find out. It's easy for a crowned king to hide some secrets."

"You fox, if you still have questions, go ask my Lord, if you can speak to her."

Zhenyue stopped in front of a mountain with dark stone walls. He slowly lowered his body and crawled on the ground.

"We're here," Zhenyue said. "The top of the mountain is our Lord's palace. You have to climb up without using any magic power."

"What a strange request." Nightmare muttered.

"If you use magic power, you will be crushed by this mountain." Zhen Yue laughed in a deep voice.

Li Xian left the turtle shell that guarded the mountain and looked up at the winding stone steps.

The mountain was extremely steep, like a black sword protruding from the ground, and the stone steps were built on the surface of the stone wall, almost vertical to the ground.

This black peak looked familiar, but it was not part of the Taihang Mountains. He had never seen it the last time he came to Taihang. Li Xian touched the mountain with his hand, and ripples spread from his fingertips. A dense prayer appeared faintly, which only appeared for a moment, but was captured by Li Xian.

The writings of the immortal Taixu.

Li Xian looked up again, his eyes changed.

How could there be a Taixu fairy mountain here?

…………

A lone eagle flew over the black cliff and picked up the piece of meat from the white jade railing.

Outside the pavilion, there is a locust tree and a mulberry tree, standing at both ends, and their fallen leaves cover the path.

In the pavilion, a woman sits alone, drinking tea and appreciating the flowers.

Nightmare climbed up panting, his black hair was wet and melted. Unfortunately, he couldn't fly with his little wings after he was resurrected. Xue Wuya was not feeling well either, panting heavily, with beads of sweat on his forehead. This mountain was too high and too steep, and it had a terrible oppressive force, and his physical strength was depleted quickly.

Li Xi'an walked steadily along the path, his animal leather boots making crisp sounds as they stepped on the fallen leaves. "Long time no see, Guiyi." The woman turned her head, her silver hair brushing across her cheek.

Her eyes were on Xue Wuya.

Soon, Xue Wuya understood why Zhen Yue said, "You can ask my Lord, if you can." These were a pair of emerald green eyes, immersed in a vortex of corpses and blood. Just a glance at him, Xue Wuya smelled a strong smell of blood, and he quickly lowered his head and didn't look at him.

"It seems that you have traveled all over Kyushu and finally found the person you wanted in Beiyuan." The woman held her chin with one hand, her fingertips curling the ends of her hair, and observed Xue Wuya with interest.

"It's a bit weak, but it seems to have an interesting thing inside it."

Xue Wuya only felt the spiritual energy surging in his body, and a ferocious tiger spirit was easily hooked out by the woman's fingers, hovering above his head, roaring.

"Xiza," the woman said softly, "No, now he is just a soulless body. It's a pity. In a sense, he can be considered as one of my kind."

"Raise your head! Siza's successor, I allow you to meet me!"

This is an order.

The woman's voice was not even loud, but it became deafening when it reached Xue Wuya's ears. The majestic and low command was like a tiger roaring in the mountains, and all the beasts were lying low! At this moment, Xue Wuya seemed to have returned to the beginning of his rise. When a fox faced a tiger, it would probably die under its claws before it could be alerted.

Xue Wuya looked up and saw the woman, wearing a silver-painted cheongsam with a dragon pattern and a light green shawl hanging from her shoulders, leaning against a wooden chair and gently turning the lid of the pot.

She crossed her legs, and the dragon pattern on her cheongsam was actually moving, with its scales reflecting cold light. This was not a simple painted dragon pattern, but the scales of some creature.

Taihang Chengma, the Five Elements Law Saint

The most powerful monarch in Jiuzhou today, Qingyan.

…………

"So that's it, the filth of the Northern Plains." Qingyan looked at the fallen leaves on the mountaintop slowly drifting down the cliff.

It seemed that the monarch often stayed here to drink tea, gazing at the Taihang land with empty eyes.

This courtyard was built on the top of a steep black peak, clinging to the cliff. From the pavilion, it looked almost like it was suspended in the air. This peak was the highest one in the surrounding area, and there was nothing to block the view. The mountains rising in all directions were like ministers paying homage, guarding this black emperor.

It's no wonder that the Lord of Taihang built a courtyard here, because this is her throne. Xue Wuya thought to himself that he and Mengyan should have left here. After all, the guest that the Lord of Taihang was waiting for was only the Returner, and they probably had no meaning in the eyes of the Lord of Taihang. But they were unexpectedly invited to stay here to taste tea, which was quite like the emperor's decree, except that Xue Wuya and Mengyan had to kneel down to accept the order.

This is drinking with the emperor, and the emperor himself pours the tea.

Xue Wuya was flattered.

Nightmare was heartless and drank without thinking, his belly was already full.

At this time, His Majesty the Emperor glanced at them and said, "It's not that I have any hobby of sharing good tea with dogs, but you will die if you go down the mountain at this time."

"What?" Xue Wuya was stunned.

He was not so foolish as to think that "will die" meant that they would go against the will of His Majesty and be dragged down and beheaded by the loyal Eight Kings after they came down the mountain. The Lord of Taihang obviously had other intentions, and following her gaze, Xue Wuya looked towards the junction of the mountains and the sky.

He shuddered violently.

The sun hanging in the sky was only half gone at some point, and the other half was swallowed up by the pale wave. A silver line covered the surface of the mountain, and the trees began to twist at a speed visible to the naked eye. The pale wave surged from the horizon and soon spread to every corner of the mountain. The sky exuded a strange green color.

The pale waves crashed into the steep rock peak, and only then did Xue Wuya understand why this high cliff was like a sharp blade.

The waves were split in two by the black mountain, and no matter how high the waves hitting the rock wall were, they could not reach the courtyard. Qingyan's silver hair was blown up by the wind. She looked down at the tide, listened to the loud noise caused by the collision, and picked up the teacup to taste it carefully.

The pale wave covered the earth, rolled over the mountains, and quickly disappeared on the other side.

The warm light of the sun returned to Xue Wuya, and his soul seemed to have regained warmth at this moment.

He looked at the surrounding mountains. The trees were intact and there was no sign of moisture on the ground. The tide seemed like a sudden illusion. But Xue Wuya was sure that it was not an illusion. The wind coming from the waves was so cold that it could freeze a person's soul.

"What is that?" Xue Wuya asked in a trembling voice.

"Filth." Qingyan said calmly, "These things are back again, and all the dragon veins are rioting."

"Returner, I can go to the Nine Skies to buy you some time, but in return, do you have a solution to the filthy tide in the Taihang Mountains?"
