Dragon Gate Swordsman

"Well then... General Li, General Zuo, and Grandmaster Zhongyue, in my humble opinion, this creature is probably not the god that the cultists believe in."

The atmosphere suddenly paused!

Li Wuan's eyes moved slightly, but he did not comment. Zuo Xuanliao's pupils shrank slightly, and he was in disbelief. Chongyue did not have any obvious reaction, but just asked Fang Jin why he came to such a guess.

"It was these samples that my team compared countless times, and we were able to determine that the giant insect... and the spores that parasitized Yang Yunxing's spine came from the same source, and the degree of parasitism was far beyond my original judgment."

"In other words..."

"The consciousness of the parasitized person is the consciousness of the giant insect."

Fang Jin said in a hoarse voice: "So, the one who truly believes in the Yang God... is most likely the giant insect..."

Chapter 113 There is nothing wrong with wanting to marry your sister

Dear Chongxiao:

It has been four months since the shocking battle outside Yumen City, but you still show no signs of waking up. I am really worried. Fortunately, my younger brother Qi came here and after a detailed diagnosis, he said that you are fine.

You risked your life to save me many times, and I will always remember it. Before leaving, I also asked you to tell me that if you need anything in the future, just write a letter and send it to Wulan Mountain in Suliu Town. I will come to you no matter where you are.

However, there are so many mysterious and bizarre things that have never happened in the past that make my foolish sister unable to sleep or eat. If I don’t investigate them in detail and just wait for the strange phenomena to occur and the war to break out again, it will be as dangerous as that battle.

After much thought, I, a foolish sister, have decided that the only way to help out is to find out what evil things existed in this world before we were born, so that we can anticipate the enemy's moves and prevent the dangerous scene of that battle from happening again.

I know, my foolish sister, that I have been away for a long time, and I don’t know when I will be able to see you again. But I want you to know that our love will last forever. We should be of one mind in this life, and there will be a time for us to meet again.

Also: When you were still asleep, my foolish sister and elder brother made the decision on their own and instructed Xiaobai on his cultivation. We hope you will forgive us.

……

After reading the letter left by Ling for the twelfth time, Chongxiao, who was sitting on the roof enjoying the fresh air, let out a long sigh and then lay back.

Six months.

He was in a coma for six months.

The last memory in his mind stopped at the moment when he was embedded in the wall and ready to fight for his life. The only remaining impression was that he seemed to have opened something... or unlocked some kind of restriction. He had no impression of the mysterious black dragon that followed.

That’s right, it’s the typical case of the protagonist’s halo erupting in the middle of a battle.

But isn’t the cost of this outbreak too high?

A few months ago, when Chongxiao finally woke up in the nursing ward of Zhenbei Camp, the first thing he noticed was that he... seemed paralyzed.

Fortunately, within a few days, his mobility gradually returned to normal levels. However, there was another thing that was even worse: the spiritual energy he could feel in his body seemed to have turned from a rushing river into a thin trickle.

This really made Chongxiao very depressed, until Xiaobai rushed into the ward crying, and his attention was diverted.

He had planned to return to Longmen after recovering, but Qi, who had come from afar, suggested that he stay for a few more days to observe. In addition, due to the death of the giant insect, the evil beasts that had resumed their normal behavior also launched a large-scale attack, making Chongxiao feel embarrassed to leave at this juncture.

So there were delays here and there, and it lasted another five months.

Chongxiao, who had nothing to do at this time, began to fantasize about the letter left by Ling.

The key is the word "同心". Does it mean to work together? Or to work together? Or... to grow old together?

Someone never noticed that Ling referred to herself in the letter as "silly sister".

Just then, a voice suddenly came from below.

"Chongxiao, may I ask what makes you so happy?"

"Of course... Uh, Doctor Qi!?"

The person standing in the courtyard was Qi, the eighth among the descendants.

Compared to Chong Yue and Ling and others, Qi Du has more of the vulgar air of the market, both in appearance and dress. Apart from his gentle and generous temperament, he has no other conspicuous characteristics. He is even far inferior to Nian in charm and beauty.

Even with the unique physical features of a juvenile, his grey horns and flaxen tattooed arms were quite ordinary, not to mention that he also used long sleeves and a headdress as a disguise, making him look no different from a quack doctor with a slightly better appearance.

In short, no one who sees Qi for the first time would think that this amiable and smiling young man would be the Sui descendant that Simaitai has been wary of for hundreds of years.

"How are you feeling today?"

"To be honest, there is no special feeling."

Chongxiao raised his hand and spread his five fingers, and a crystal-like flame suddenly emerged from his palm.

It was not known whether it was the price paid for the decline of his spiritual energy, but since waking up, Chongxiao discovered that he had gained... or unlocked the ability to target fire.

The flames that previously had to be converted based on psychic energy can now be summoned at will and controlled at will. Moreover, it seems that not only the flames are released by oneself, but all the flames that are sensed can be influenced and even completely controlled.

As for spiritual energy...it's not completely cut off. Just like the control over the body, it is gradually recovering, but the speed is really pitiful.

If you still want to use a kinetic impact or flash now, you'd better think twice. It will take years to recover to the level when you arrived at Yumen.

"Doctor Qi, to be honest, I'm fine now, right?"

"Perhaps, but since your sister has entrusted Chongxiao to my care, it is better to be safe."

"By the way, did Ling tell you where she was going before she left?"

As soon as these words were spoken, a strange look flashed across Qi's face, and then he shook his head.

Chongxiao didn't expect him to know... From the letters Ling left behind, she wanted to investigate the ancient secrets related to the giant insects, so the places she went to must have been places where there were few people, otherwise they would have been discovered thousands of years ago and caused a worldwide sensation.

However, Chongxiao didn't know that the weirdness in Qi's expression was because he had never seen his eldest sister care so much about a member of the opposite sex, and even wrote a sentence that seemed to be... a lifelong entrustment?

It is unknown how long their descendants' lifespan is, which is far different from that of ordinary people. Moreover, the giant beasts are just transformed, and there are no other similar species except each other. Therefore, marriage and reproduction have never been considered.

As far as Qi knows, over the years, only the mysterious second brother can be associated with the word love, and no one knows what the specific situation is.

But his performance before leaving is worth pondering...

"Doctor Qi? Doctor Qi?"

"Um...excuse me, your sister didn't tell me, she just said she had something important to do."

Unsurprisingly.

Chongxiao sighed secretly.

The two did not chat for too long. Qi had another mission in coming to Yumen, which was to treat the many border guards who were injured when the city was broken. In addition to physical reasons, their mental condition was also a problem.

Therefore, he could not spend all his time on Chongxiao, who seemed to be fine.

But today Qi finally gave Chongxiao some good news...

"You mean...I can leave now?"

"That's right. With my medical skills, I can't find any injuries on Chongxiao. I think he should have recovered."

Having said that, Qi's mind flashed through his elder brother's instructions, which were that Chongxiao's origins were too mysterious, and if anything abnormal was found during the treatment, there was no need to pay attention to it as long as it did not endanger the patient.

Qi originally did not take it seriously until he learned from the order before his departure that Yumen and the two descendants of Sui could not defeat the powerful enemy who might even surpass Sui himself, but was easily killed by Chongxiao's guardian black dragon.

Does this kind of person really need me to treat him?

Seeing Chongxiao clasping his fists to express his gratitude, and then happily running back to his room to pack up his things, Qi couldn't help but smile bitterly: To be honest, I didn't do anything...

Future brother-in-law.

……

Chongxiao is leaving.

I don’t know if it’s because Qi is a big mouth or because everyone takes his affairs very seriously, but before I could pack my things, important figures from Yumen came one after another to say goodbye.

The first person to arrive was naturally Yumen's supreme commander Li Wuan... Even though what happened last year, strictly speaking it was not his responsibility at all, and even the tactical arrangements were not a mistake. It's just that no one could have imagined that the Yangshen Sect would have such a trump card.

In addition, Chongxiao was transferred to Yumen by Ying Zhen as a captain of the imperial guards, and was nominally a subordinate of Li Wuan. If he did not agree, Chongxiao would be considered as deserting his post. Now giving the formal transfer order and retaining his position is equivalent to giving Chongxiao a free life.

Although this person has not paid attention to the identity of this Imperial Guard Captain for a whole year...

After them came Zuo Xuanliao and a large group of generals. Having long learned from Ling about the relationship between Heilong and Chongxiao, they now regarded Chongxiao as their savior and the deliverer of Yumen. If it were not inappropriate, they would have even held a farewell party for him.

It is worth mentioning that after experiencing that battle, Zuo Xuanliao's attitude towards Sui Yi and people from the martial arts world has improved a lot. Perhaps it was the bloody battle between Ling Hexi that made him realize something.

Next came the representatives sent by the Yumen government. Logically speaking, they had little to do with Chongxiao, but someone heard that it was Ying Zhen who personally ordered Chongxiao to come to Yumen, so it would be unreasonable not to make some statement.

Of course, Chongxiao, with the idea of ​​"lining his own pockets", asked them to help collect a lot of rare treasures for Xiaobai. After all, it would be unreasonable not to pamper his own apprentice... This is also one of the reasons why Xiaobai made rapid progress.

A representative from the martial arts world also came, he was the newly appointed leader of the Western Alliance of the Five Parties. As soon as they met, this new leader almost made Chongxiao's jaw drop.

"Why, you didn't expect it to be me?"

“…I never expected that.”

Looking at Qing, whom he hadn't seen for a year, Chongxiao was somewhat speechless.

But what made him even more speechless was Qing’s next words.

"In fact, I have already met your apprentice earlier today."

"…She didn't fight you to death?"

"Ha! Chongxiao is really quick to speak, but don't worry, I won't hurt her."

"What are you talking about?"

Chongxiao glared at her, "Do you think I'm not worried that she might hurt you?"

In fact, although Xiaobai thought she had concealed it well, she was still an underage girl after all. Except for the few months when she was in a coma, she lived and ate with her master Chongxiao all day long. If it couldn't be seen, there would be something fishy.

Besides, don’t forget, even if we don’t consider the power of psychic energy, Chongxiao has also taught Chen Huijie... In a sense, he can be regarded as a larger version of Xiaobai.

He didn't take this matter to heart. Xiaobai was not a bad person by nature. She had been very resistant to her father Cheng Lufeng's behavior in the beginning. The fact that she had been working as a constable in Yumen Prefecture during this period also proved this point.

However, seeing his own father beheaded in front of his eyes is indeed a difficult hurdle to overcome, and it is impossible for Xiaobai to remain indifferent to Qing, the "murderer".

Chongxiao originally thought that Qing would not show up in Yumen, but he not only showed up, but also replaced the parasitic Yang Yunxing as the new leader of the West Alliance of the Five Directions. This is really... My dear disciple, if you continue to work as a Yumen constable, you will probably be depressed and unhappy...

Chongxiao had no good idea about how to relieve Xiaobai's hatred for the time being, so he changed the subject.

"You want to know why I came to Yumen to take up the post?"

"Was it Ling who recommended you? Or was it Simuitai who contacted you?"

"neither."

Qing shook his head, "This fact is a temporary measure."

As a result of Yang Yunxing being parasitized, the corpses of many powerful people were stolen. Considering the reputation of the Five-Party Alliance, Yumen did not intend to make the matter public, so in the eyes of the public, he just died of a sudden illness.

But this suddenness still caught the Five-Party Alliance off guard. You know, there are not many people who are qualified to lead the heroes of the martial arts world, and most of them have already started a family and a career. How could there be so many wise men willing to go to Yumen to live such a hard life?

As a last resort, they had to contact Han Ying... Qingming's apparent identity, because this female knight not only had martial arts that surpassed all others, but also had a very good relationship with the Five-Party Alliance.

Before the new leader of the West appears, the only feasible plan is for the lone female hero Han Ying to temporarily take over the position of leader of the West.

As for why Qing agreed...

"What!? You founded the Five-Party Alliance!?"

"Chongxiao doesn't need to be so ostentatious."

Qing smiled and shook his head. "When I founded the Holy Fire Alliance under the pseudonym Yue Xi, I just wanted to quell meaningless hatred and fighting, but I never thought of unifying the martial arts world... Who knew it would give birth to the current Five-Party Alliance."

Chongxiao had been secretly wondering how Qing could have been in the underworld for hundreds of years and not live in seclusion like Ling and Xi, but still be alone.

It turns out that she is not without a career, but her career has already reached its peak... So in addition to the heroic female warrior, the creative person and the ruthless messenger of justice, Qing has another image in Chongxiao's mind: a strong entrepreneurial woman!

Xiaobai, Xiaobai, your revenge is not justified, so why don't you just not take it.

……

After spending the whole afternoon in a daze, Xiaobai left the government office in a depressed mood.

For the sake of revenge, have you even given up your last name?

What's your name now? Qiu Bai?

Go back, you are not my opponent yet.

Qing's words kept echoing in the girl's mind, making her think about one thing over and over again: Should she avenge her father?

Under normal circumstances, revenge is of course necessary... Even though my father is a heinous criminal in the eyes of ordinary people, he has never done anything wrong to me. So, if I cannot be filial as a son, can I not even take revenge?

But he saw the duel that night with his own eyes. It was clearly his father who proposed it, and Qing also kept his promise and did not kill any more people.

Moreover, my father himself had mentioned more than once that if he were arrested for the crime he had committed, there would be no chance of survival.

Master, what should Xiaobai do?
