Don't be afraid, fairy, I'm blind

Chapter 429: Beheading on the Long Street
The cold wind of Frost City whirled and howled outside the city wall, and You Su's fingertips unconsciously stroked the dragon pattern on the hilt of the Mosong sword. In the distance, the outline of the sacred mountain loomed in the twilight, like a giant beast lurking in the snow and fog.

"There is no secret passage, no back door, and even a snow bird can't fly over the formation of Frost City?!"

You Su asked the girl in front of him in a somewhat frustrated manner.

Seeing the ice crystals condensing on the Dragon Palace Lord's fingertips, reflecting the intersecting beams of light on the tower, "I remember I said that."

She seemed to have always been so calm, but it really made You Su a little angry.

After all, the ambitions he had just developed were blocked by the two city gates. Especially with a Shenshan boss following him, he naturally felt frustrated.

"Since you knew there was no way out, why didn't you show a tough attitude when you left? Why did you follow me?" You Su sighed, but didn't complain. "What should I do now? Go back and get some sleep and wait until tomorrow?"

He felt a little embarrassed when he thought of the expressions on Ajiu and Aying's faces when they saw him come back.

Seeing the Dragon Palace Master raised an eyebrow and looked at him, "What is the purpose of our going to the sacred mountain?"

You Su was also stunned when he heard this. He thought for a moment and quickly came up with an answer: "Go tell her the fact that evil spirits are roaming around in Bei Aozhou, and then wake up this woman who is immersed in her plan to save the world."

The girl nodded slightly, and during the conversation she stepped back and looked at the city guards marching in the street, their armor emitting a cold blue light in the snow.

"Then have you ever thought that the disasters coming from all directions failed to reach her ears. Who could have intercepted the news?"

"I don't know much about the official institutions of the sacred mountain, and I don't know who it is, but I know it is definitely not one person." You Su looked at the majestic sacred mountain sternly. It looked snow-white during the day, but at night, it inevitably turned black.

"Yes, the power of Shenshan is checked and balanced to avoid the situation where one person can cover up everything. She cannot get any information, which must be the result of a large group of people's conspiracy. In other words, she has always been at the center of power, but now she is isolated by the vast majority of those in power."

"According to your previous description, I'm afraid she isolated them before these people isolated her." You Su spoke bluntly. In his opinion, Venerable Qianlong was largely responsible for the current state of Beiaozhou.

The usually calm Lord of the Dragon Palace smiled upon hearing this, and it was obvious that he agreed with You Su's opinion.

“So if we want to see her, it’s definitely not something we can do easily by just going up to Mount Kinabalu.”

You Su frowned and understood the true meaning of the girl's words - Venerable Qianlong was in the sacred mountain, but it felt like she was locked up in a prison that everyone had carefully designed for her.

He suddenly remembered that the last time he came to the Kongyuan Divine Mountain, they were approached by the bigwigs of the Divine Mountain one after another as soon as they stepped into the snowy plain. This showed that even this snowy plain, which was used to highlight the difficulty of the pilgrimage, was under the surveillance of the people of the Divine Mountain.

Therefore, even if they leave Frost City and even step onto the Sacred Mountain, they will probably meet those people who do not want any strangers to come to "visit" them before meeting Venerable Qianlong.

"There is even a possibility of something worse." Seeing the Dragon Palace Master's brows revealing a trace of severity, "That Shuang Chu has already reported you, Master Mei, whose origins are unknown."

The lights of Frost City flickered like stars in the twilight. You Su's knuckles tapped on the hilt of the Mosong sword, and the sound echoed with the rhythm of the city guards' iron boots stepping on the snow in the distance. He suddenly stopped moving - another team of armored monks turned from the end of the long street, and the eyes under the black iron forehead guard were colder than the blade.

"The third time!" He turned his head to look at the girl leaning against the eaves, "It's half a cup of tea faster than the last time!"

He had long noticed that the frequency of appearances of this group of city guards was increasing, but his original intention was to leave the city and he had never taken it to heart. However, he did not expect that the Dragon Palace Lord's words would come true as soon as he said them!
The Dragon Palace Master fluttered his sleeves, and a snowflake condensed into an ice mirror hanging in his palm. The mirror reflected the tokens on the waists of the city guards, all of which were engraved with the word "frost".

"All of them are the elite troops of Frost City. The speed of Shuang Chu reporting the news is faster than I thought." She broke the ice mirror with her fingers, and the debris flew like stars. "Go back to Shushuxuan. I gave him that house. There is a secret room under the house. They can't find us for the time being."

Hibernating temporarily is obviously the best choice at the moment. One of them is perfect in Condensing Water, and the other is perfect in Transforming Feathers. They are definitely strong outside the Divine Mountain. But here is the highest point for cultivators in the continent.

As soon as he finished speaking, You Su did not respond, but suddenly pressed her shoulders and spun her around, completely hiding in the darkness under the eaves. The girl's silky black hair brushed across the back of his hand, carrying the faint scent of pine snow from her body.

A gilded chariot was slowly approaching from the street, with eight majestic snow-night horses wearing saddles and reins decorated with mermaid pearls. The ice soul lanterns hanging on the top of the chariot illuminated every detail within a radius of ten feet.

"What do you want to do?!" The Palace Master lowered her voice. She looked at You Su's eyes that were looking straight into the carriage, and soon realized that You Su was not just trying to hide.

"I told you, I can't wait any longer." You Su glanced at her, his hand already firmly on the hilt of the sword, "If we hide for a while, countless people outside will die. How can I hide any longer?"

Seeing that the Dragon Palace Master was a little surprised, he quickly grabbed You Su's arm and said, "You have completed your mission by sending me here. I can handle the rest myself."

You Su frowned upon hearing this and broke off the girl's hand: "You don't think I came here to help you, do you? I want to help everyone in Bei'ao!"

In a trance, the Lord of Dragon Palace felt that the young man's eyes were sparkling.

She said no more, but observed the noble carriage.

"This is the car that Venerable Ningshuang's youngest son rides on."

"You even know this?" You Su was surprised.

It may not be difficult to tell that it is the Shuang family's carriage, but the difficult part is to recognize who it belongs to.

The girl pursed her lips. "She has a name book, which records all the people she has investigated who have committed crimes, abused their power, acted arrogantly, and oppressed the people. When she achieves great success, she will settle accounts with those above her one by one."

"She..." You Su didn't know how to evaluate the Venerable Qianlong for a moment, so he was too lazy to comment. "In short, if the person in the carriage died, it must be a fair death. Right?"

The Palace Master hesitated for a moment, but not because Venerable Ningshuang's youngest son was definitely not a bad person, but because he was hesitant about whether he should let You Su take the risk.

But her thoughts raced, and she couldn't think of any other way to break the impasse as soon as possible. She looked at the vast snow in the sky, which pressed down on the land like a cold quilt, covering the vitality of the land and suppressing the vitality in the hearts of the people of Beiaozhou.

In her opinion, she would contact the Venerable Qianlong secretly without telling most people, and then catch those people off guard. This method was steady, but also mediocre. Playing chess on the same chessboard, it was not easy for her to defeat those enemies hiding in the dark.

But now there is an easier way in front of us - that is to overturn the chessboard.

She was conceited about her intelligence, otherwise she would not have been able to obtain the title of Honored Lord, and it was even more impossible for her to hide it from the always clever You Su. It was true that Honored Lord Qianlong had a split soul disease, but Bai Ze did not have this disease. She had always been herself, but the mysterious qi entered her body, awakening those memories that were sealed deep in her consciousness.

She deliberately put on two faces because she didn't want You Su to mind her "sister" who was hundreds of years old. He might even love the silly and cute Bai Ze more because of her face.

But no matter how smart she was, she could never think of such a method. Because she had been in a high position for too long, her heart had long been cold, how could she have the passion of a young man. "The youngest son of Venerable Ningshuang was a well-known hypocritical person in Beiaozhou. His death was not unjust, but are you really going to burn your boats?" She made the final confirmation.

"It's a broken jar."

You Su's lips curled up sharply, and the Mosong sword sheath suddenly hit the bluestone slab heavily. The sword energy shook the snow like fog, and the snow rhinoceros was startled and raised its hooves and neighed.

"Since we are inviting the Lord to come down the mountain, we must prepare generous gifts. There is no need to wait for her to settle the score later. I will settle it for her first!"

The pearl curtain of the chariot was suddenly lifted, and the jade-faced young man inside showed half of his sinister face. Before his fingertips could condense into frost blades, he suddenly saw a black sword lotus blooming in the flying snow - it was the killer move of the Liansheng sword technique, Lianhua Xilian!

"There are assassins!"

The guard's roar was crushed by the sword energy.

You Su tapped the tip of his toes on the horns of the Snow Night Horse, and the tip of his sword deliberately deviated by three points as it passed over the top of the chariot. The Ice Soul Lantern exploded, and thousands of ice crystals poured down like a rainstorm, freezing half of the long street into a glass world.

"You're looking for death!" The sinister young master roared so loudly that the snow on the eaves fell off, and his fine hair and beard stood on end.

When he pushed out his palms, the floor tiles of the entire street surged like waves, and an ice dragon formed by the cold wave rose from the earth's pulses into the sky!

However, You Su turned back at the moment when the dragon head was about to bite, and his Mosong sword drew a strange arc, and the sword wind swept the ice chips towards the luxurious chariot.

“Stop!” Venerable Ningshuang’s eyes were red with anger. The chariot was a treasure that he had spent three years to obtain. He even had to wipe off the dust himself on a daily basis. It was the ultimate luxury.

The ice dragon twisted its body abruptly, and its whiskers just brushed the hem of You Su's clothes, freezing the chariot into a crystal clear ice sculpture.

You Su took the opportunity to leap onto the roof of the chariot and put the tip of his sword against the throat of the young man, who was only just realizing that he was dying because he was so obsessed with his valuables.

"Don't..." Before the sinister young master could even utter a beg for mercy, a stream of hot blood spurted into the sky and a piece of his arm fell to the ground with a thud.

The long street was dead silent.

The sinister young master's face was paler than snow.

When he saw the inky sword energy flowing on the young man's sword, he suddenly remembered the wanted order he had received a few months ago - the devil who was guilty of great crimes and wanted by all five continents.

"tour……"

"Hush..." You Su's sword trembled slightly, and blood suddenly burst out from the sinister young master's neck. "Please, young master, shoot a cloud-piercing arrow, the kind that can explode in the Jade Void Palace of the Divine Mountain."

The surrounding city guards have gathered around, they are eager to try, all ready to wait for an opportunity to rescue their master.

But only the hostage-taker himself knew that there was no way this devil would allow himself to be rescued alive.

His fists creaked in his sleeves. He had just broken through to the Feather Transformation Realm not long ago, but he never thought that he would be held hostage by an assassin so easily. This made him a little hysterical:
"Let it go! Listen to him and let it go!"

"Master... where did we get the Cloud-piercing Arrows..." The city guards were a little embarrassed.

"Three breaths." You Su's sword had already pierced the sinister young master's skin, "Otherwise, the next sword will not only draw blood."

The city guards were in a hurry, but the young master came up with a clever idea, "Use your skills! You idiots, throw all those fancy skills into the sky!"

The city guards hurriedly obeyed the order, the cold night suddenly brightened, and thousands of lights streamed like a galaxy rolling back.

The Frost City guards made hand gestures and formed seals, and various colors of mysterious energy gushed out from their palms. Ice cones wrapped in lightning and fire, and golden light entangled with vines, exploded in the night sky with fireflies when they collided.

Fragments of light fell through the windows of thousands of homes, and children pointed at the sky and cheered, "Look! It's fireworks!"

"He wants to overturn the sky of Beiao." The Lord of Jianlong Palace, who was hiding in the dark, looked up at the fireworks and said, "Then I will help him burn more vigorously!"

The steaming hot mist wrapped in the smell of sulfur rushed up to the sky. She could actually mobilize the fire array hidden under the ground of this frosty city!

The tip of You Su's sword trembled slightly, and drops of blood from Master Ningshuang rolled down the spine of the sword and blossomed into red plums on the snow.

"What a irony." The young man sneered, and the tip of his sword pierced the jade pendant on the young man's neck. "You used the flesh and blood of the frozen soil of Bei'ao to cultivate this illusion of prosperity."

Before he finished speaking, the entire long street was suddenly covered with icicles. The snowflakes falling from the sky condensed into sharp blades, and each one reflected You Su's cold profile. Frost bells rang wildly from the distant tower, and twelve black ice chains broke through the air. At the end of the chains stood an old man with white hair and beard - the shadow of the Lord of Ningshuang City was even taller than the mountains.

"How dare you!" The old man's voice was as loud as a bell, and with a wave of his hand, thousands of icy spikes turned into freezing rain.

However, when the raindrops touched You Su's sleeves, they turned back strangely and chopped the young man's magnificent chariot into pieces.

The old man looked in one direction in surprise, but saw only a girl with cold eyes. At this moment, the sword light surged like a black dragon flying into the sky, melting the ice and snow wherever it passed. Shuang Chu's half face hidden behind the battlements was completely bloodless, he didn't know that the letter he reported out of loyalty had caused such a big mess.

Venerable Ningshuang was completely enraged and did not even bother to figure out where the familiar feeling of oppression from the girl came from. His Dharma image immediately glared with anger, and frost spread rapidly all over the ground at a speed faster than lightning.

Suddenly, a golden crack appeared in the sky. A jade chariot pulled by a jade dragon broke through the clouds and descended. The woman in the chariot fluttered her wide sleeves, and the frost in the sky froze in mid-air, unable to move forward even a little bit.

The woman tapped the railing with her fingertips, and the twelve black ice chains shattered. The Lord of Ningshuang City stumbled back, and every step he took left spider web cracks on the ice.

"What a great Lord of Ningshuang City."

Venerable Qianlong stepped down the stairs in the void, and the magma froze into black jade wherever the hem of her skirt with dragon patterns brushed past:

"You knew that I had an honored guest, and you welcomed him with fireworks on my behalf. You are so thoughtful."
