The Spirit World

Chapter 516: Yun Zong and the Ice Dragon

Chang Yufeng was running in the crowd holding Lin'er in his arms, his black robe rustling in the wind. It was a very iconic piece of clothing, a black long-sleeved shirt made of top-grade silk and golden soft silk. If he hadn't been running, his long collar and hem would have dragged to Chang Yufeng's ankles. He was wearing ruby ​​black boots and walking briskly. His fair skin was gleaming under the scorching sun, his long, thick black hair was like wind and clouds, and there was an indelible tiny scar on his right forehead. His face was almost exquisite, with distinct features, eagle eyebrows and sword-like eyes, angular and imposing, his dark and deep eyes staring at the front, the lotus umbrella behind him was almost smaller, but also as green as jade, and as he ran, it seemed as if the aura of the whole world was spinning with him, the light was flying around in various shapes and forms, with the fragrance of proud plum lingering on Lin'er's nose.

Lin'er was held in his arms, hooking her hands around his fair neck, smelling the faint fragrance coming from his skin. The blue light spots on Lin'er's body also followed the rhythm, sometimes slow and sometimes fast, like jumping notes, galloping on this complicated road, like the most dazzling stars, shining without hesitation.

Passersby looked back one after another, and the man in black clothes had a half-smile in his eyes, with confidence like a flood that shocked them inadvertently. His spirited demeanor made everyone forget that they were going to escape from this city.

It is said that at the same time, the Flying Eagles notified everyone in the city that the entire Wenti County was about to be abandoned, so they needed to wait for the city gates to open and leave the thousand-year-old ancient city of Wenti County without stopping.

Of course, everyone speculated that the appearance of the people infected by the evil spirit made the Eagle Team very difficult to deal with, and they had no way to respond, so they could only let everyone run away. Naturally, there were endless speculations about this idea, but they had to escape when they needed to, and no one wanted to go against their own life.

"Brother Yufeng..." Chang Yufeng looked at Chang Yufeng's angular profile, and was even a little intoxicated by the faint fragrance of plum blossoms.

Plum blossoms all have a subtle fragrance that is charming and refreshing. Even when running, this fragrance is long-lasting and unique.

"What's wrong?" Chang Yufeng turned his head slightly to look at Lin'er. Their eyes met. At such a close distance, the hot air exhaled by Lin'er would merge with Chang Yufeng's breath. Lin'er also had a fragrance on her body, a very sweet milky fragrance. Lin'er's slight sweat made her glow slightly in the sun. She put her arms around Chang Yufeng's neck, looking into his pair of dark and deep eyes, deeply, forward, feeling the warmth. It took her a long time to react, and she said with some doubts: "How do you know how to use this power? This dragon bone is also the first time you see it... isn't it?"

"Hmm..." Chang Yufeng nodded embarrassedly. He laughed. His hearty laughter made his Adam's apple slide up and down. His laugh was not so handsome, but a bit silly.

"Actually, this kind of thing, how should I put it... someone told me how to use it directly in my mind, or... um..." Chang Yufeng ran slowly, he passed through the crowd smoothly, and slowed down his pace when talking to Lin'er: "If you must say so, I can actually do more."

After saying that, Chang Yufeng closed his eyes without any hesitation. He straightened his head, and used his left arm to completely support Lin'er's thigh and waist. His thumb pressed on his ring finger and little finger, and his index finger and middle finger stretched straight. The slender fingers had distinct joints and emitted little blue light.

[All things are connected to the spirit, flying horse in the clouds! 】

【open!】

With Chang Yufeng's light shout, thousands of golden dots suddenly appeared, and in an instant they turned into a handsome white horse with its head held high! The white horse's eyes were shining with golden light, its body was extremely strong, and its tail was like a cloud. Suddenly, white clouds rose up. At this time, Yunzong strode with his head held high, his front hooves raised, and the black iron stirrups emitted a faint blue light.

[Whew——]

Yun Zong neighed, and all the mounts on the streets of Wenti County were inferior to this white horse in the clouds.

"pay close attention!"

Chang Yufeng ran side by side with Yunzong. He pulled Yunzong's reins, stepped over the saddle, gently placed Lin'er on the front saddle, and used his sleeve as a whip to lightly tap Yunzong's tail.

Yun Zong immediately neighed and rode briskly towards the south gate in front.

"Wow..." Lin'er looked at Yun Zong's snow-white horse mane. Yun Zong exuded a fresh scent of passing white clouds. This scent came to her face, like the refreshing feeling after the rain.

"That is to say, Brother Yufeng has completely mastered the power of the dragon bone! He is worthy of being Brother Yufeng!" Lin'er turned around to look at Chang Yufeng with starry eyes. Chang Yufeng scratched his head a little embarrassedly and smiled innocently: "That's what he said, but he is definitely not proficient in it. If he needs to use it freely, it will definitely take a long time of practice."

"That friend is so nice to you. What is this? Coming to a different world and getting a super powerful martial arts secret book?" Lin'er's purple dress fluttered in the air. Her body was like a child and so small under Chang Yufeng's tall figure, but for now, everything about her was mature and steady.

"You can say that."

Chang Yufeng restrained his smile. Right, this "friend" was so good to him. He returned all the power he had cultivated in his reincarnation to him.

When he touched the dragon bone, no, when he touched the rib, Chang Yufeng felt the endless power compared to his own exhausted dantian.

He was very familiar with this power. It was the power he had cultivated and possessed. How could he not know how to use it? He was already familiar with this kind of easy use.

However, what surprised him was that this power could actually transform him into his previous body - that is, his current adult self - under the protection of [Yu Su].

This strong body and this God-given strength are more or less unexpected, but there is nothing to be surprised about.

So, he accepted this power calmly.

At the same time, at the south gate of Wenti County, a brown unicorn was slowly moving forward among the crowd, carrying an ordinary RV. Compared with the carriages of Wenti County that left in a hurry, this horse was indeed slow, but for people who did not have carriages or dragon carriages, the speed of this horse was not slow in the general sense. It pulled the RV fixed by magic, and basically followed the large army out of the city at a leisurely pace.

Longxu Gong sat in the car, put one hand on the snow-white forehead, and injected the special ancient dragon qi into the body of this "corpse".

This true energy can greatly ease the rebirth of this "corpse".

Next to this ice-blue beauty lying so peacefully inside the RV, countless tiny ice crystals are rapidly condensing and melting. This means that in Wenti County, all the ice elements are being absorbed by the "corpse" of this beauty to make up for the lack of ice elements in its own county.

This is the "human-shaped corpse" of an ice dragon. Her name is Issas Enodon Talmaga Icewind, and her human name is: Elaine.

Elaine no longer has any breath. According to the characteristics of the dragon clan, she needs to rely on absorbing the surrounding ice elements to slowly regenerate. This rebirth may take hundreds or even thousands of years, or even a few days, and the prerequisite is to absorb enough ice elements.

There are only a few ice elves left in Wenti County, which is why the weather in Wenti County is no longer like spring all year round but is now scorching hot.

The true qi of the ancient dragon clan of Longxugong conflicted with the elemental rebirth of the giant dragon clan, and reacted, delaying the time for Elaine to transform into a dragon egg.

This is fatal to Elaine. Although she doesn't have to worry about damage to her human body, she will collapse sooner or later if she keeps maintaining her human form and is unable to regenerate.

"Lord Ryuxu... Ten teams, including Rias and three other knights, have already left the city. Now we can confirm that there are indeed suspicious people following them since they left the city."

Kraft sat cross-legged next to Elaine, and looked into the eyes of the frowning Longxu Gong. In fact, there were two other people in the carriage, namely Her Royal Highness the Princess and Emperor Longxu.

This trip was not only to leave the city, but also to abandon the strategic stronghold of Wenti County and leave it entirely to the Flying Eagle Team. The Flying Eagle Team was directly under the Imperial Household Department, a subordinate agency of the princess, and Longxu Gong was the executor of the Imperial Household Department appointed by the princess. In other words, Longxu Gong would come back here to deal with a big thing, and it was this thing that made them give up this ancient city with a thousand-year history. That was the existence of the demonic infected.

Mr. Longxu speculated that the person infected by the evil spirit was not limited to the one in the tower. There might be other people infected by the evil spirit. Although they didn't know where they were, the highest alert still needed to be deployed.

Her Royal Highness the Princess was paying attention to this quiet and beautiful woman named Elaine. Her white dress was so holy, like an angel descending to earth.

"She is so beautiful..."

She shouldn't have uttered this exclamation, but she couldn't help but touch Elaine's face. The cold, almost imperceptible touch made Elaine, who had no temperature to begin with, even more pitiful.

She is indeed very beautiful, Elaine, so beautiful. The Ice Dragon is not only powerful, but also has some unique advantages in appearance. Although her white dress looks simple among the complicated jewelry of the princess, no one can deny that Elaine is not beautiful.

Emperor Long Xu was playing with a lotus umbrella. He knew that there was a sharpened self-defense blade in the mechanism of the umbrella, so he did not trigger the mechanism, but groped for other places.

"I understand... Let them keep in close contact. Protect our Flying Eagle Team among the civilians, let them follow closely and make sure nothing goes wrong." Longxu Gong withdrew his hand and closed his eyes to recuperate.

"Yes... I'll give the orders right away..." Kraft stretched out a hand, and the white steel wires in his hand connected all corners of the RV with transparent eyes. They slowly bypassed all the people passing by, and silently and invisibly came to the bodies of specific people. They climbed up and came to the necks of those people.

Longxu Gong nodded, opened his eyes, looked at the fascinated princess and said with interest: "Is it beautiful? Your Majesty."

The princess didn't notice it, but was awakened by Longxu Gong's words. She adjusted her posture, lowered her head, and nodded: "Beauty... In this world, there are still such beautiful things..."

Looking at Elaine sleeping peacefully, who can resist the sleeping face of a beautiful woman?
Her death was not a tragic one, nor was it a desperate one. Her death, the death of an ice dragon, was so peaceful, like a soundly sleeping baby.

"She is no longer beautiful when she turns into a dragon of revenge." Lord Longxu did not seem to be deliberately trying to break the princess's fantasy. He just said earnestly: "Although I am reluctant to admit that I think so, if we obtain her bloodline, the dragoons of the Ice Dragon subspecies will definitely be a top-notch combat force. For the sake of the principality, I have no other choice. I hope this child will not hate me..."

"Sir Longxu...you traveled far and wide for peace...no one would blame you..." The princess hesitated when she spoke, and looked at the peaceful Elaine helplessly and said, "It is true that she suffered...but she did hurt people. If she is just resurrected, the families of the Eagle Team members who died because of her will not forgive her...who can guarantee that they are righteous in this kind of life and death feud? After all, it is hard to explain, so why should Longxu blame himself?"

"Even though I said that, I still feel guilty... I don't want to see a dragon child sacrificed, or any child sacrificed again... I made mistakes when I was young, but in the end, I still couldn't avoid hurting anyone."

Longxugong closed his eyes again and sighed.

The princess just said "Your Excellency Lord Longxu" and nothing else.

When it comes to things like a knot in one's heart, the person who tied it must always be the one to untie it. How could she explain it clearly?
In a struggle, being decisive and ruthless means being cruel and ruthless, because your enemy will not give up his anger because of your mercy.

Whether it is a conflict of interests or a conflict of ideas, in the entire struggle, there will always be winners and losers.

If Elaine didn't win, then she didn't win.

She did not leave a way out for herself and fell into the hands of the Imperial Household Department. There was nothing she could do about it. How the Imperial Household Department would deal with her should be within the imagination of this proud Ice Dragon.

Just like accepting defeat, fighting is not a game of house, where a simple admission of defeat can resolve all grudges. Crazy counterattacks and reckonings are still eternal themes. In other words, if Elaine goes crazy and wants to slaughter all the humans in Wenti County, then who will come to redress the injustice of the dead humans?

It's just a matter of seeking justice... because the dead cannot be resurrected.

In the end, all revenge will turn into an endless cycle of hatred, from generation to generation, without end.

Then, there is only one thing left to say.

That's acceptance.

Accept this ending, accept the hatred in your heart, accept this irreconcilable contradiction, and then find a solution.

Longxugong had no way to persuade Elaine to let go of her hatred, because that was almost impossible, but he could accept this hatred, and if there was any more hatred, just let it be directed at him.

"Sir Longxu Gong, the intelligence personnel said that all ten teams have found clear suspicious targets. If we take them down now, we can probably catch them all in one fell swoop." Kraft reported the situation, and looking at Longxu Gong's indifferent expression, he seemed to know what Longxu Guild's answer would be.

"The purpose of the ten teams has always been to lure away all the shadow hunters. Changing the plan now will only put the princess in danger. Kraft, have them continue to stand by and proceed according to the original plan."

Longxugong paused, then slowly uttered another low word.

"Tell them to be careful and to escape to the shelter immediately if something goes wrong."

Kraft nodded and gave the order.

At this time, Emperor Long Xu found a mechanism, and a piece of paper slowly fell down.

He opened it and was shocked.

The mottled red, the wild words, and the cuts made by sharp claws are all vividly visible. Written on the paper are a shocking sentence.

[Save me——Mr. Ning]

In fact, if you understand it, you can imagine Lin Er as... a god with a long feather... then it's not wrong to be gay (but I shouldn't remind you, because children can't fall in love, even if they are in their 20s, including gay, which is different from the positioning of this article.)
Although you can think this way, you can only think about it, not write it. This may be an open easter egg.
