At the beginning of Niujia Village, my sister-in-law and I depended on each other.

Miss Huang's sudden departure made Jiugong Mountain suddenly much quieter.

Winter passed and spring came, time passed like water. As Niu Dingtian still did not show up, the girls' hearts gradually became worried.

At some point, news began to spread in the martial arts world that the leader of the Sun Moon Sect had gone insane while practicing martial arts and died suddenly.

It was during this agonizing wait that the summer went away and the cold came again, and in the blink of an eye, another New Year's Eve had passed.

During this period, many major events happened in the world.

The Red Turban Army was completely destroyed under the all-out encirclement and suppression by the Jin Kingdom. Murong An led the remnants of the army to Jiugong Mountain in an attempt to seize power, but ultimately failed and fled to Mongolia with serious injuries.

On the same day, Yang Kang and Guo Jing, who had already held their respective positions in the Sun Moon Sect and whose conflicts were increasing, suddenly broke out into a conflict.

After Yang Kang severely injured Guo Jing, he refused to accept the punishment and fled from Xiangyang City overnight. Five days later, news came from Mongolia that Genghis Khan had summoned him to be his son-in-law.

After these two incidents, people who were paying attention gradually noticed something unusual. He had not shown up for two years. Perhaps something had really happened to the one in Xiangyang.

Jiugong Mountain, Xiangyang
It was early autumn, and a drizzle of rain covered the land of Jingxiang, bringing a bit of coldness.

In the small courtyard, in the warm room with windows

Bao Xiruo had her black hair combed into a bun that was dignified and gorgeous. She was wearing a plain white dress with her waist tied high. However, her beautiful face was filled with shame and tears.

She looked up at Chen Jin'er and Li Ping in front of her, choking with tears, and said, "It's all my fault for doting on him. That's why I made such a big mistake. I will go down the mountain and go to Mongolia soon. I will definitely bring him back to atone for his sins."

Li Ping sighed, held her former best friend's hand, and consoled her: "Jing'er is fine, he will be fine after some rest. Kang'er is still young, and it's hard for him to tell right from wrong. It won't be too late to bring him back after his uncle comes back."

Chen Jin'er and Fentian looked at each other, walked forward, and said thoughtfully: "There is no rush for this matter. Since he has been recruited as a prince consort, there should be no danger for the time being. Let's wait until uncle comes back."

As she spoke, she seemed a little worried, and warned him sternly: "Don't even think about going down the mountain by yourself, it will only cause more trouble. That kid is very smart, he won't suffer any loss."

Bao Xiruo wiped the corners of her eyes and said resentfully with a somewhat insufficient tone:
"It's better to suffer a loss! I just hate that I trusted his kindness all these years. If I had let him suffer a little more, I wouldn't have..."

"Alright, alright," Chen Jin'er would never believe such hypocritical words, so she waved her hands and sighed, "Yang Kang is still a child after all, don't think too much about this matter."

"Take a nap, then eat and drink when you get up. Let Sister Li have a conversation with you first, and then we'll go see Sister Miaozhen."

After saying that, she nodded slightly to Li Ping, and then gave a wink to Fentian, Han Xiaoying, and Yan Huaixi, and they all left the warm room together.

Walking under the eaves, you can see drizzle in the courtyard, which adds a bit of chill to the bleak autumn air.

As Chen Jin'er walked, she looked at Han Xiaoying and Yan Huaixi and asked, "Did you fail to enter Peach Blossom Island this time?"

Hearing this, Yan Huaixi showed an awkward look on his face, and whispered, "I did go in, but was kicked out by Island Master Huang again. I left some things for Rong'er, but I don't know if she threw them away with her father."

Han Xiaoying took over the conversation and said softly, "Island Master Huang probably has no way to treat Rong'er's leg injury. He did drive her out, but his tone is not as cold as before."

As she spoke, she couldn't help but look puzzled, and asked, "Although Yang Kang was somewhat disgusted with Jing'er, he was not so cruel as to do that. Why did he suddenly run away?"

Speaking of which, she and Yan Huaixi's steps were timely. The two of them happened to return to Jiugong Mountain from Peach Blossom Island, and they happened to meet the trouble between an adult and a child, and they fled to Mongolia one after another.

Chen Jin'er stopped in her tracks when she heard that, with a hint of hesitation on her pretty face.

Han Xiaoying smiled and said, "I just have some doubts in my heart. If it's inconvenient to say it, forget it."

Chen Jin'er and Fentian looked at each other, shook their heads slightly, and said thoughtfully: "It's not that it's inconvenient to say, but I'm not sure in my heart."

Seeing Han Xiaoying and Yan Huaixi looking at her, she glanced around and whispered, "Murong An really wanted to seize power, but he escaped after being severely injured by us. But Yang Kang was a double act that Uncle had prepared long before he went into seclusion."

"But I didn't expect the Mongols to be willing to marry Princess Huazheng to him. Now that Mongolia is getting stronger, I'm afraid that guy won't be able to resist the temptation of wealth and power, and eventually make our fake play real."

"Sister Bao, don't you know?"

Han Xiaoying couldn't help but frown and asked.

"How dare I let her know," Chen Jin'er shook her head and said, "Originally I just hoped that he could sell some intelligence to the Mongolians so that I could get some military pay. It just so happened that Murong An failed to seize power and fled to Mongolia, so he volunteered to be a spy. After discussing it with the deputy leader, I agreed."

"But that kid has too many thoughts, and he is too keen on power in the church. It is possible that he has not seen his uncle for the past two years, so he believed the rumors outside and wanted to find a new place for himself."

"It shouldn't be..."

Han Xiaoying pondered for a moment and said softly, "In his eyes, others may not care much, but Senior Sister Bao Yang Kang cares a lot."

"I hope so."

Chen Jiner sighed softly.

Afterwards, the few of them did not talk about this topic anymore. After walking out of the courtyard, they came to Murong Miaozhen's room after a while.

Due to Murong An's sudden attack on Jiugong Mountain a few days ago, Murong Miaozhen was undoubtedly the person in the most embarrassing situation on the mountain.

Perhaps worried that Murong Miaozhen would be abused if she stayed in the mountains, Murong An revealed before escaping that his younger sister's surname was Yang and that the siblings were not biological. Whether it was true or not, Murong Miaozhen was able to stand in front of them at the critical moment, and Chen Jiner and the others felt a little sympathy for this girl who was now completely alone.

As soon as they walked into the room, they saw Murong Miaozhen, dressed in tight clothes, sitting at the desk with a jade pendant in her hand, staring blankly at a scroll on the wall.

Chen Jiner stepped forward and said, "Don't think too much, sister. We all have our own paths. Since you have promised to come here, you will be ours from now on. We will never treat you differently."

"and……"

"Rumble--"

Before Chen Jin'er finished speaking, there was a sudden rumbling thunder outside the house, and the surrounding atmosphere suddenly made people feel palpitating.

"It's already late autumn, how could there be such a loud thunder?" Han Xiaoying couldn't help but turn her head to look back.

There is rarely thunder in autumn. There has been autumn rain outside for three days without a single thunder. Several people were startled by the sudden thunder.

Just as they were about to look away, suddenly, in the hazy rain-covered sky, the clouds changed color in an instant.

The originally calm sky seemed to be stirred wildly by an invisible giant hand, and the clouds surged wildly at an incredible speed.

The next moment, darkness spread like a tide. It was originally afternoon, but in the blink of an eye, it seemed as if it was night. The whole world seemed to be caught in an inexplicable fear.

"what happened?"

Chen Jiner's heart couldn't help but tremble.

After she realized what was happening, she hurriedly pulled up Murong Miaozhen, who was still in a daze, and shouted to Han Xiaoying and Yan Huaixi, "Go and tell them to gather everyone together to prevent any accidents! Tell all cities to step up their guard to prevent any changes!"

The two left quickly, and Chen Jin'er took Murong Miaozhen and Fentian to appease the troops.

This is not an exaggeration, but the result of people of this era having a heartfelt awe for the gods of heaven and earth.

Such a strange phenomenon in heaven and earth was so bizarre that even they themselves felt their hearts tremble, let alone the ordinary soldiers outside.

Today, the cities of Jingxiang are strong in military power and are no longer what they used to be. If someone takes advantage of this to create chaos, they may not be able to control the situation.

Deep in the Jiugong Mountain, in a secret and dark cave——

One can vaguely see a person sitting cross-legged with his eyes closed. As the breath circulates around him, the dust on his body disappears, revealing a pale face with a long beard.

It was Niu Dingtian who had not been seen for two years.

The aura flowing around his body was like a calm lake. It seemed calm but actually contained endless power that was slowly surging.

As time passed, Niu Dingtian's aura became deeper and deeper, as if it had merged into one with the surrounding mountains and earth.

gradually,
A huge wave burst out from his body, as if by induction. Lightning outside the cave quickly shuttled across the sky like a dancing golden snake, accompanied by deafening thunder, as if to tear the sky apart.

On the mountain top——

The disciples of the sect all felt this sudden change in the world, and an inexplicable sense of uneasiness arose in their hearts.

"What's going on? I've never seen such a horrible sight!" said a new disciple of the cult in a trembling voice.

"Could it be that some peerless demon has descended?" another disciple guessed with horror on his face.

Just as everyone was discussing the matter, Suluzhi, Yan Hongshou, and Jin Buhuan, along with a group of hall masters and flag masters, appeared to calm the disciples.

Their faces were solemn, their eyes were fixed on the sky, and they vaguely felt the unusualness of this power.

"This kind of phenomenon is definitely not ordinary! I'm afraid something big is going to happen." Suluzhi said with a frown.

I think that they had used false visions to fool the Manichean believers in the past. Now after seeing it for real, I realized how frightening and terrifying it was.

Led by the hall masters and flag masters of each department, a group of disciples gathered towards the various halls. Along the way, the sounds of wind, thunder, and footsteps were intertwined, and the atmosphere was tense and depressing.

When Chen Jiner brought the women from the backyard to the second floor of Doumu Palace, she saw that the dark clouds in the sky had formed a huge vortex, spinning slowly.

In the center of the vortex, a dazzling light shot down, covering a part of the mountainside in the far distance. The heart-pounding power in that light seemed to be able to destroy everything at any time.

Everyone in the hall couldn't help but gasp at the shocking scene.

"Could it be that there is a great monster undergoing a tribulation in our Jiugong Mountain?" A disciple suddenly exclaimed, with a look of disbelief on his face.

The strange phenomenon in the sky became more and more intense. A bolt of lightning struck the distant mountain, shattering the rocks instantly, rolling down and raising a cloud of dust.

Just as another bolt of lightning was about to strike, a beam of sword light suddenly shot up into the sky from the mountainside and attacked.

"Boom!!" (End of this chapter)
