Volume 1: The Beauty of Misfortune Chapter 647: Things Have Changed and People Have Changed
A million miles of space, fleeting.
"Wow! This is the inside of the mysterious ark...it's actually so big! It's many times bigger than the largest profound ark in our family!"
Standing in the center of the first floor of the ancient castle inside the Taikoo Xuan Ark, Number 7 Under Heaven kept turning around and looking around, his mouth wide open, and he let out a cry of surprise.
"This is just an ancient castle in Xuan Ark. There is an extremely huge space outside the ancient castle... It is definitely larger than you imagine." Yun Che said with a mysterious face. As the master of the mysterious ark, he can know the situation inside the mysterious ark at any time. With the injection of the power of Nine Yang Jade, this mysterious ark also revived from silence, and its world laws began to operate. Outside the castle, the originally dry land has become green and shaded in the past few months. Various mysterious beasts from the Qing Dynasty roamed among them, and more exotic flowers and beasts were gestating and growing.
"With such a huge profound ark, you can't feel any turbulence of energy and breath, and you can't even feel its movement at all." Number One Under Heaven admired: "The world is so big, it's really surprising that such treasures can exist. "
Although Number One Under Heaven was shocked and surprised, he did not ask Yun Che where it came from, because he knew very well that it was taboo. Yun Che took the initiative and said: "This profound ark should have been passed down from ancient times and was acquired by me accidentally. It is different from ordinary profound arks. It is a world of its own and has a special spirituality. Now it regards me as its master. , no one can take it away... However, I still hope that Brother Tianxia will keep it a secret for me. Although it cannot be taken away, it will be very annoying if it is targeted by greed and harassed by a few flies from time to time. "
"Haha, brother Yun, don't worry. If you tell me so honestly, how could I be such a young person?" said the number one person in the world cheerfully.
"Brother, how long will it take for us to arrive at Tianxuan Continent?" Xiao Yun said excitedly.
"Oh, it's already here." Yun Che said.
"Ah? Here?" The three of them were dumbfounded.
"That's right... We have already reached the third breath of entering the profound ark. It has stopped for a long time now." Yun Che had a calm expression on his face... but he actually enjoyed their exaggerated reactions.
"This... so fast!?" Xiao Yun's mouth opened wide, and he stuttered a little: "Father said that Tianxuan Continent is millions of miles away from the Illusory Demon Realm. Even if it travels through space... this speed is too exaggerated. ! Millions of miles!”
"Let's go out." Yun Che said, his chest rising and falling gently: Tianxuan Continent... Blue Wind Kingdom, I am finally back... No matter what, you must be safe and sound...
He released his mind and inspected the energy consumption of the profound ark, and the results he obtained surprised him greatly. Traveling through millions of miles of space in an instant, the Xuan Ark's consumption was not even half complete! It was much smaller than he expected! !
According to this consumption range, let alone returning to the Illusory Demon Realm... there should be no problem at all for dozens of round trips!
It’s not that the Ancient Xuan Ark’s consumption is small… but that the power of the Nine Sun Jade is too huge! It was definitely huge beyond Yun Che's cognition. After all, it is the divine jade from the divine beast Golden Crow!
Under the red light, the scene in front of me also changed rapidly. A somewhat dry and hot breeze mixed with the smell of dust came from the ground. There was a vast mountainous area all around, but the vegetation was scattered and dry. Most of the occasional trees that could be seen were broken on the ground. There was a certain smell in the air. Heavy desolation and loneliness.
Yun Che: "..."
"Here...are we already in Tianxuan Continent?" Tian Xia Zhang looked around, but could not see any people, and there seemed to be no trace of Xuan beast.
"We seem to have arrived at a very desolate place." Xiao Yun also looked around.
"The density of the elements is very thin, so the level of profound energy here should be very low." Number One Under Heaven frowned: "Brother Yun, is this the 'Blue Wind Country' you mentioned?"
"...It should be." Yun Che frowned slightly, looked around for a while, then turned to Number One and Number Seven under Heaven: "I'm not sure where this is in the Blue Wind Kingdom. But... Brother Tianxia, Seventh Sister "Can you please cover your ears and elf wings? Although there are records of the elf clan in Tianxuan Continent, it seems that they have not appeared again for thousands of years."
The first person in the world understood what Yun Che meant, nodded and said: "It's a trivial matter."
After saying that, he activated his profound energy, and the transparent cicada wings behind him immediately closed up and were hidden in his clothes. A pair of long pointed ears were also shrouded in green light. When the green light dissipated, they had turned into ears like ordinary humans... This is not a real change, but a cover-up under the mysterious energy, but unless the mysterious force is far superior to his and one is paying close attention, it will generally not be noticed.
Number Seven under Heaven also used the same method to cover up his cicada wings and ears.
"Brother, your expression... is so solemn. What... is there a problem?" Xiao Yun asked tentatively. What Yun Che has been looking forward to most for this period of time is to return to the Tianxuan Continent. When he was in the Xuan Ark, he could clearly feel the excitement on Yun Che's body. Now that he has arrived in the land of the Tianxuan Continent, he should He should be beaming with excitement... But now, he is frowning, without any expression of joy.
Yun Che looked forward, frowned, and said: "It's okay... I just vaguely feel like something is wrong. I'll go up and confirm where this place is."
After saying that, Yun Che leaped with all his might and soared into the air, but before his body even touched the clouds, a rather large city appeared in the distance to the west of his sight. He stopped there, silently looking at the outline of the city, and a name appeared in his mind.
That's... Crescent City! !
Although Crescent City is not a big city, it is still one of the main cities of Blue Wind Kingdom. Especially its location is right in the middle of Blue Wind Kingdom's territory. Therefore, it is the hub city of Blue Wind Kingdom. It has a huge daily flow of people. It was very lively. At this time, it was the morning, when a large number of people who stayed in Crescent City were leaving the city. From Yun Che’s direction, no matter the east, west, south or north of the city, there should be a lot of people moving around...
But at a glance, almost no one could be seen. This city at the center of the Blue Wind Kingdom gave Yun Che the feeling that it seemed a little lifeless... and from a distance, it seemed to be shrouded in a dark mist.
Based on the direction of Crescent City, Yun Che also immediately remembered where his feet were. When he left Liuyun City and went to Crescent City for training, he had passed by this place and stayed here for a night... However, the place in his memory was clearly covered with vegetation, full of vitality, and very densely populated with people. Low-level mysterious beasts. But now, it is a desolate mess, as if it was burned by a sea of fire and then trampled by thousands of troops.
What's going on?
What happened in Crescent City?
A strong sense of uneasiness arose in Yun Che's heart. He quickly lowered his head and said with a heavy brow, "Let's go! Let's go to Crescent City quickly... Something seems not right about the situation here."
"Ah, Crescent City?" Xiao Yung was about to ask when he was pulled up by Number 7 in the World: "Don't talk too much now, let's go!!"
They all saw Yun Che's strange look in their eyes. Back then, even when he faced all the forces in Prince Huai's Mansion alone, he was always full of energy and laughing freely... But at this time, Yun Che's face was frighteningly gloomy. As soon as Yun Che finished speaking, he rushed west quickly, and the three of them quickly followed.
"The land here seems to have suffered widespread destruction. And the atmosphere here seems to be too desolate." Number One Under Heaven said calmly: "Brother Yun, is the Crescent City you just mentioned the place where you were born?"
"No." Yun Che frowned and flew faster and faster: "I didn't stay in Crescent City for a long time, but it was the place that changed my destiny. Apart from the Imperial City in Blue Wind Kingdom, It should be one of the most lively cities outside of China, but it feels lifeless to me now. The place we are now is definitely not what it is now... What is happening here!"
Yun Che gritted his teeth slightly, trying not to think about each of the more terrifying guesses. At this time, from several miles away in front, he suddenly felt the faint fluctuation of profound energy. As soon as his eyes moved, his speed suddenly slowed down and he flew towards the location of the fluctuation of profound energy.
Several boulders that were several people tall appeared in sight, and from behind the broken stones, seventeen mysterious auras of different strengths and weaknesses came. The strongest of these auras is at the seventh level of the Lingxuan Realm, and the weakest is at the first level of the True Xuan Realm. They hid behind the boulder and tried their best to suppress their aura...but how could they hide it from Yun Che's spiritual sense.
Yun Che slowed down and approached the boulder. When he was ten steps away, a gray-white figure suddenly rushed out from behind the boulder. His whole body of black energy exploded, and a long sword with cold light pierced Yun Che. And then, accompanied by a roar filled with deep-seated hatred: "Death to the Divine Phoenix dog thief!!"
The person who rushed out first was the strongest among the seventeen people. But how could he pose even the slightest threat to Yun Che if he had only the seventh level of the spiritual profound realm. Without moving his feet, he swung a palm from the sky towards the figure stabbing him... and at this moment, he saw the person's face clearly, his expression suddenly changed, and he tried his best to withdraw the dark energy that had been released, At the same time, he stretched out his arm to block the No. 1 under heaven who was about to charge forward: "Don't do it!!"
Although Yun Che only swung this palm casually and had withdrawn more than 90% of his profound strength just now, his current profound strength is so overbearing. Even if it is just a trace that is insignificant to him, it is definitely not what the person opposite him can do. Bear it easily. The long sword in his hand broke and fell out of his hand in an instant, and his whole body fell back, hitting the big rock behind... His face turned pale, and he collapsed on the ground, his whole body twitching violently in pain, but there was perseverance in his eyes. and hatred, but it has not diminished at all.
"tutor!!"
"Teacher Sikong!!"
The people behind the boulder who were about to seize the opportunity to attack were all frightened and gathered around the man, looking at his injuries in panic. Yun Che took a few steps forward and looked at the figure who was knocked to the ground by him: "Sikong...senior brother?"
The person in front of him was hugely different from the one in his memory. His long and elegant hair disappeared and turned into short, messy hair. The robes on his body no longer looked luxurious at all, but were instead covered with damage and deep or shallow bloodstains. The smooth and jade-like face in his memory... was now marked with shocking scars one after another... one of them almost touched his eyes.
His eyes had changed drastically from before... they had lost their gentleness and were as ferocious as a desperate jackal.
But his silhouette... was clearly that of Sikong Du who helped him when he first entered Blue Wind Profound Palace and gave him a lot of guidance!
When he shouted "Senior Brother Sikong", the man's eyes also looked at him. Suddenly, his whole body froze, his gaze was frozen for a long time, and his pupils suddenly dilated violently: "Yun... Yun Che ?”
The name "Yun Che" also made everyone around him turn to Yun Che and look at him blankly.
"Senior Brother Sikong just called him...Yun Che? Which...which Yun Che?"
"He...he looks like...no, exactly the same as the Yun Che in the Xuanfu portrait!"
"Impossible! Yun Che died three years ago, how could it be him! And he's still wearing...um? That doesn't seem like...not a phoenix?" A young man looked at the tattoo on Yun Che's chest. Golden Crow Pattern murmured.
Yun Che joined the Demon Emperor clan and was newly married for less than a month. His clothes were basically printed with golden crow and flame patterns. This is why he was ambushed by these people... because looking from a distance, they vaguely saw the big golden bird and golden flames on Yun Che's body, and thought they were tattoos of phoenix and phoenix flames.
Yun Che quickly came to Sikong Du and said anxiously: "Senior Brother Sikong, it's me! You all must have thought that I died three years ago... But I'm back alive! It was you who led the way in Blue Wind Xuan Palace. You took me to the Tianbing Pavilion and watched me choose the Overlord Heavy Sword! It was you who took me to the Taixuan Palace and the Inner Mansion... When I wanted to go to the Burning Heaven Clan, you also guided me in the direction!"
Yun Che's words made Sikong Du's eyes tremble violently. He grabbed Yun Che's arm and his whole body trembled with excitement: "Yun Che...it's really you...you're not dead...you're not dead!"
"Yes! I'm not dead!" Yun Che nodded vigorously: "Brother Sikong, what happened? What happened to New Moon City? Aren't you a mentor in New Moon Profound Palace, and how did you become like this? What on earth did you do? What happened...tell me!"
