Chapter 185 Return
Some feelings are not too obvious when the person is still in front of you, but once the person is gone, the feelings start to become strange.

After all, in this quiet world of the Snow Region, there are seldom outsiders visiting, and it is rare for familiar tribesmen to suddenly leave, so even the demon princess has no experience of separation.

But this day, I suddenly felt dazed.

Then she would slowly realize that it wasn't that she didn't care, she just naively thought that she didn't care.

This shows that sometimes people don’t even understand themselves very well.

Under the vast daylight, Feng Yang sat there for a long time, then stood up and walked towards the door. After taking three steps, he saw a man standing behind him.

He was wearing a fur cloak and a purple crystal crown on his head. He had horns similar to his own and fine scales on his neck. He was standing in the snow, looking at him with great concern.

Hey, this person looks familiar?

It seems like I have seen it somewhere before...

Emmm...I can’t remember.

Never mind. It's irrelevant.

Feng Yang withdrew his gaze, looked around and walked towards the outside of Yu Garden in a daze, as if he was not sure which direction he should go.

At this moment, Ye Han opened his eyes wide and looked at his sister, who seemed not to recognize him. Suddenly, he felt a manic emotion that made him want to kill her.

Shuhe has two short swords of extraordinary quality. They were made by the Lin Clan at that time with precious iron mined from the permafrost at great expense of great effort.

After he died in the west courtyard of Yuyuan that night, Ye Han sent people to search for the two short knives he often used.

As a result, the west courtyard was almost turned upside down, and the two daggers were not found.

Later, thinking about how the man named Ji You was awakened by gold after being seriously injured and unconscious, he understood what was going on.

But what he didn't expect was that the emperor's sister's soul was also abducted like the dagger.

【Just admiring. 】

[They are just visitors after all]

[I am a princess of the demon race, it is impossible for me to like a human. ]

Ye Han looked at Feng Yang's departing figure. The conversation with his sister a few days ago was like a boomerang, leaving his mind confused.

Damn human race, they actually eat and take at the same time!

The human race said they came in peace and brought many gifts which looked quite valuable. Unexpectedly, they did not suffer any loss in the end!
No matter how valuable those items are, how can they compare to a legitimate princess of their demon clan!
At the same time, dozens of miles west of the Snow Region, on the road around the snow-capped mountains, Ji You was calming down in the carriage.

Finally leaving the snowy area, he still felt a little complicated.

After spending the past few days together, he felt that the demon people were pretty good. Although they looked barbaric, they were actually just like the human people - pragmatic and simple.

The conflict between the two tribes actually only stems from the competition for living space, and there is no clear distinction between black and white.

In addition, he thought that he and Princess Fengyang were already friends, and if the demon clan made any unusual moves in the future, he might be able to find someone to negotiate with, but he didn't expect that she didn't even send him a favor in the end.

It seems that I still think too highly of myself.

Thinking of this, he couldn't help but sneeze three times.

I don't know what's going on, but he has been sneezing since a while ago.

Immortal cultivators have strong physiques, especially tough ones like Ji You, so it is impossible that he caught a cold. After thinking about it, it should be due to missing someone.

At this moment, he thought of the lovely white and tender feet, the immortal emperor's unyielding purse, and the scholar with a yellow heart...

"Someone is thinking of me."

"?"

Gongshu Chou and Ji You were riding in the same carriage. When he heard the voice, he looked up at Ji You and found that he was frowning.

There is indeed a saying in Qingyun Tianxia that sneezing means being missed.

But every time he hits three in a row, he must be scolded, and judging by the frequency, the scolding is quite dirty.

Who did I offend...?
At this moment, the carriage slowly stopped. They had already arrived at a small town called Lufeng City on the border of the Snow Region.

Like the previous Hailong City, this is also a poor little city.

Since the time for returning is no longer urgent, they plan to leave the country through the most remote border town.

Even if the barbarians are still determined to kill, they will not send troops to guard the entire Snow Region. After all, if the human and demon races unite to destroy them, it will be enough of a headache for them.

Therefore, they had to take the longest arc to avoid the barbarians they might encounter on the Savage Continent.

At this time, Ji You stuck his head out of the carriage and looked around: "How long does it take to get to Jiuzhou from here?"

"It will probably take more than half a month."

Peng Dongyang, the deputy director of the Sixian Bureau, heard the voice and said, "We need to go around to the east and try to avoid the barbarians' activity area."

Yan Chuan also looked over at this time: "The purpose of this trip is to return. Please do not make trouble, do not be stubborn, do not pick up things, and return alive."

As soon as he finished speaking, the elders from other sects and the geniuses from other sects couldn't help but look over at the same time, their eyes fixed on Ji You.

Because the sentence just now, especially the one about not picking up lost items, was obviously referring to Ji You.

What happened to the demon clan in the past few days has completely diverted their attention, so that they rarely talk about other things. Only now did they realize that they still didn't understand why Lingjian Mountain's attitude towards Ji You was so weird.

But even after discussing it for several times, they couldn't imagine that the reason came from the young master of Lingjian Mountain.

The status is too high.

The next headmaster of Lingjian Mountain and the holder of the sacred weapon of heaven.

In the eyes of everyone, even though Ji You was extremely talented, there was still a huge gap between him and the name Yan Shuyi.

It was just like during this trip, Jiang Chenfeng, Huo Hong and the others all regarded themselves as geniuses, but when faced with this name, they were actually like Fang Ruoyao meeting Ji You.

They would never have thought that the young master of Lingjian Mountain would be so concerned about the life and death of a Tongxuan realm master from Tianshu Academy that he even sent a Wujiang realm master to follow him.

At this time, Ji You sat back in the carriage, sitting upright with a well-behaved expression.

His arms could not move, so no matter how great his sword skills were, he could not use them. Of course, he could not fly as freely as he did when Tathagata came.

Besides, he had already received the promise from the demon clan, so he didn't have to die bravely.

If something really happened, there were already several more powerful people outside, so it wouldn't be worth it for a Tongxuan realm expert like me to risk his life personally.

In addition, Yan Chuan looked at himself very closely.

He felt that the elder of Lingjian Mountain was very worried about his future. He was in fear all day long and even had the urge to tie him up and send him back to avoid any more accidents along the way.

Ji You then slept on the road for two days. When he was bored, he continuously absorbed the spiritual energy of heaven and earth into his body during the bumpy journey. The spiritual energy spread into his body through the broken spiritual essence and cleansed his arms.

The meridians were previously open, so this process can be smooth.

But after being injured, this process became extremely difficult, and the pain and numbness were no less than when the meridians were forcibly opened.

But doing so will ultimately be beneficial.

Because the strength of the arms increases, it is also beneficial for recovery from injuries.

The most important thing is that for this mission, he really feels that his current combat power is not enough, both physically and mentally.

The peace promised by the demon clan is actually very short-lived, and one day it might completely become a bubble. Meanwhile, those foreign immortal villages that are currently staying in Fengzhou may not always be able to stay peaceful, so he needs to become stronger.

Just like when he broke through to perfection in the lower three realms in order to save Qiu Ru, he cut open the inner courtyard gate in order to get back the taxes and salaries, and for example, during this mission to the demon tribe, he lifted up forty-nine mountains at the cost of his arm.

It is true that one only regrets not having enough strength when one has to use it most...

After my arm has recovered, I will hurry up and do the sixteenth micro-photograph.

At the same time, a message had been sent back to Kyushu ahead of them.

This message was not sent by Ji You, but by Peng Dongyang, the Immortal Supervisor.

Like Ji You, he also carried a communication platform with him, and recorded everything he saw and heard, as well as the course of events, in detail and sent it back.

Afterwards, this letter was copied by an official from the Sixianjian Judicial Bureau and sent to the seven major immortal sects.

During the time that Ji You and others were on a mission to the demon tribe, nothing major happened to the human tribe.

Meanwhile, the Tianshu Academy was unusually quiet at this time.

Perhaps it was because no one could sense the Heavenly Book this year, or perhaps it was because no troublemaker like Ji You appeared again this year.

In short, even the disciples in the inner courtyard couldn't help but sigh, saying that the former Heavenly Academy has returned, and there is no more sudden news to disturb their practice.

The implication seems to be that since Ji You left, Tianshu Academy has returned to peace.

And this is indeed the case.

During the year that Ji You was there, all people talked about were things like One Man with Seven Swords, the failure of asking for the way in Tianshuyuan but he broke through the sword forest, the defeat of the thousand-year-old family Chuhe, and the rise of the only family in Fengzhou.

Since he left, everyone has been discussing what to eat in the morning, lunch, and dinner.

The practice of Taoism is all about having nothing outside of the mind and calming the spirit. Although most people cannot do this, they are also unwilling to see someone practicing in private in the countryside.

The others were all from prominent families or were descendants of immortals. How could they tolerate a private cultivator coming and taking up all their attention?

Fortunately, he was on a diplomatic mission to the demon tribe, and this rare tranquility made people feel relaxed and happy.

At this moment, with the letter forwarded by the Sixianjian, this peace seemed to be broken again.

The first to receive the message were the directors of Tianshu Academy. The letter they received was dozens of pages long, and each page was covered with densely written tiny calligraphy.

This is the habit of Daxia officials. They always write down every detail of what they do.

Of course, this is also because this matter is too important to the human race, and it will definitely be written into the history books of Daxia in the future, and may even be recorded in the history of Qingyun Immortal. The three heads of the Director's Office gathered together at this time and looked at the letter on the table.

They had already learned about the Demon Emperor's promise of peace from the official from the Immortal Supervisor who had delivered the letter.

What he was more concerned about at this moment was the situation of Elder Ge from the Tianshu Academy, Xiao Hanyan and Shi Junhao from the Inner Courtyard.

Of course, there is also Ji You.

Because the travel list at that time was the one they used to trick Ji You into leaving.

Although everyone later said that he actually went there for Fengzhou and it had nothing to do with money or women with round buttocks and tails, he still cared a little in his heart.

"This journey was extremely dangerous. According to the official from the Sixianjian who delivered the letter, they were nearly trapped in a dead end twice. I'm afraid there were casualties..."

"The Rong Dao Realm is easy to deal with."

"Yes, that is...Ji You, this Tongxuan..."

"It doesn't matter if I can't help him, I just hope he can learn to be smarter and save his life."

The three managers muttered something and then turned the pages of the message one by one.

The first time I saw Ji You's name was in the records about going to the Snow Region. There were only a few words about it, talking about the cultivators going out to clear out the barbarian soldiers while staying overnight in the wilderness.

This is normal.

After all, there are so many people in the delegation, and even if it is to be recorded, Peng Dongyang can't keep chasing Ji You to record it.

In their view, no matter how strong Ji You was, he was only at the Tongxuan realm, and it was not easy for him to leave his name in such a major event.

But soon, as the message came to the part about "the twelve barbarian warriors chasing after them", the three found that Ji You's name was appearing more and more frequently.

Qin Rong licked his fingertips with the tip of his tongue and turned to the next page. He saw the words "Ji You" all over the paper and his expression gradually became stunned.

There were few records previously, indicating that it was not critical or dangerous.

And when the number of names increases, it means that Ji You has become the key.

At this moment, they quickly glanced and saw the record of the twelve military kings chasing after them.

"This……"

"Wrong writing?"

“It seems that money is never wasted.”

"..."

"Report it to the inner court."

The letter sent by the Sixianjian was quickly delivered to the inner courtyard and then reviewed by the five hall masters. The first person to receive the letter was Zuo Qiuyang. He Lingxiu was beside him. She read the message with her uncle, and then fell into deep thought, and only came back to her senses after a long time.

Afterwards, the letter was read by several other hall masters and then conveyed to the seated elders.

Like the three heads of the Administration Office, after reading the letter, they all fell into a long silence, looking at each other without saying a word, but feeling a little heavy in their hearts.

At first, they thought that Ji You was just a Tongxuan, and would be either dead or injured after coming out.

What is that place?
The wilderness and the snowy land are places that can only be entered by the Rongdao.

And the fact was just as they expected. Although Ji You did not die outside the pass, he was indeed injured, and both hands holding the sword were injured.

However, the records in the letter about how Ji You got injured made them find it hard to believe.

How do you describe this feeling...

It was as if it would be better if he wasn't hurt.

Because they seemed to see from the paper a more brutal and powerful Ji You, who was on his way back.

"..."

"Ji You is not dead?!"

In Shengjing City, at Hongding Tower on Yong'an Avenue, Dou Yuankong was riding a horse to attend a banquet.

The winter solstice has arrived, the temperature in Shengjing has begun to drop, and a light frost has begun to form in the morning.

At this time of year every year, Princess Changle Zhao Yunyue would hold a snow-boiling banquet, inviting nobles from the capital and disciples from the Tianshu Academy to come and eat, drink, have fun, and build relationships.

As soon as Dou Yuankong went upstairs, he heard Princess Changle, who had arrived at the table early and was waiting, mention a name that had not been mentioned for a long time.

It has been more than a month, and Dou Yuankong almost forgot this name, and couldn't help but let out a strange cry.

Zhao Yunyue was holding the menu at this time, and raised her eyes slightly: "He is indeed not dead, and he will be back soon."

Dou Yuankong frowned upon hearing this: "He's really lucky. He went to the demon tribe and came back alive?"

"That's what my father said."

"Did they not encounter any barbarians chasing them along the way?"

Zhao Yunyue shook her head. "Of course we did. The barbarians are not stupid. Everyone can predict that our race will not watch the two tribes form an alliance. We will definitely send an envoy to them. How can we just leave it alone?"

Dou Yuankong opened his mouth and said, "How could he come back alive?"

"I don't know the specifics..."

Zhao Yunyue handed the menu in her hand to the servant, then lifted the sleeves of her gorgeous clothes and put them back between her legs.

Everyone in Chongwang Mansion is pro-immortal, while the mission to the demon clan is handled by the Immortal Supervisory Commission. The two camps are different, so naturally there is no communication between them.

But with the identity of King Chong, he could always find out something, such as Ji You was not dead, the Demon Emperor promised peace, and the human delegation was on the way back.

Hearing this, Dou Yuankong felt a little confused.

He was involved in putting Ji You on the diplomatic list. Although he was just a trigger, he will definitely be hated.

Ji You may be powerless against those elders who fanned the flames, but he may take it out on himself when he comes back.

Dou Yuankong was a little panicked: "He is just a small Tongxuan realm, how can he not die!?"

"You don't have to panic. I heard that although he is fine, his hands seem to be useless."

"Really?"

"My father has always been rigorous in his work, so this should be true."

After Zhao Yunyue finished speaking, a hint of regret and helplessness appeared on his face.

At this time, the lights were just coming on, and the cold night in Shengjing City gradually became brightly lit. Several figures were walking hurriedly towards Hongding Tower.

First came the Lu sisters Lu Qingqiu and Lu Hanyan, as well as Lou Siyi and others, and then it was Fang Jincheng and Puyang Xing.

The most prominent person during this period was Leng Yingying from the inner courtyard, and there was another person named Wang Lingfeng.

Dou Yuankong looked at Lu Qingqiu, who he was more familiar with, and said, "Ji You... is he coming back?"

Lu Qingqiu nodded: "I also heard the teachers in the academy discussing this matter, so it should be true, but I heard that his hands seem to be disabled..."

"Is it really useless?"

"That's what's spread in the courtyard."

"It's not useless."

Leng Yingying heard the voice and spoke, looking at everyone: "He was seriously injured, and his meridians are blocked, but he should be able to recover."

The report from the Sixianjian is handled by the Office of Administration, but will eventually be submitted to the Inner Court.

Leng Yingying and Xiao Hanyan were in the same hall, and both were competitors of the imperial disciple. Naturally, they knew more about this matter than Xiao Hanyan.

Zhao Yunyue looked up at this time and said, "It seems that the human delegation was indeed being chased by the barbarians?"

"Twelve barbarian warrior kings led countless generals to chase them at night, almost wiping out the human delegation."

Lu Qingqiu raised his eyes at this time: "Are the titles of Soldier King and Admiral the realm or military rank of the Barbarians?"

Leng Yingying heard the voice and said: "It is both a realm and a military rank. The realm of General is comparable to Rong Dao, and the peak of General is far beyond Rong Dao. The realm of Soldier King is almost the upper realm of Yingtian. After barbarization, one can even reach the initial realm of Wujiang."

"Is it so dangerous?"

"Of course it was dangerous. Ji You's hand was injured at that time as well."

"So it was that time, no wonder..."

"Yes, the message said that the Barbarian Soldier King was very powerful and brave. He broke through the six elders' barriers and attacked the envoys. Ji You raised forty-nine swords to the sky, and used all his strength to kill a Soldier King, blocking the last attack and helping the envoys enter the Snow Region."

"?"

Leng Yingying repeated the passage almost exactly as it was written in the original message, but as soon as she finished speaking, the table suddenly became quiet.

Looking over there, Lu Qingqiu, Lu Hanyan, Zhao Yunyue and other women all stopped using their chopsticks and looked over in surprise.

Dou Yuankong and Fang Jincheng thought for a long time, and then they slowly opened their eyes after considering the comparison of the barbarian realms that Leng Yingying had just told them.

Leng Yingying was stunned for a moment, then she understood.

They thought that the one who injured Ji You was a general comparable to Rong Dao...

Yeah, that’s right. I also had this misunderstanding after watching it.
