Rules of Heaven - C67

“Then can Fairy Xiao tell me where they were taken?” Ding Hong’s eyebrows creased tightly.

After pondering for a moment, Xiao Qin replied, “I recently heard that there are demon soldiers coming and going around the Spirit God Tower. This place is not too far from the Spirit God Tower, so I don’t know if it is a demon from there or not.

“What happened to the bird demon in the tomb just now?” Ding Hong was puzzled.

Hearing Ding Hong ask this question, Xiao Qin slightly frowned, but in the end she still said, “The Sky Demon Tomb has already been formed a thousand years ago and the monster inside also existed a long time ago.” Pausing for a moment, she suddenly asked, “The Heavenly Demon Cave is extremely dangerous, especially the complicated maze. I only dared to enter it because I found the map inside by chance. How did young master enter it?”

Ding Honglang said, “There is a cave over there. Naturally, I entered through that cave.”

“What?” Xiao Qin never thought that he would reply with such words. She frowned, and suddenly slashed with her sword at the sarcophagus.

With a “ca” sound, the sarcophagus was sliced apart like mud. Ding Hong involuntarily looked at the sword in her hand. However, when he looked back and forth, he only felt that it was very ordinary. He did not know if it was because of her high cultivation or that sword, but there was something special about it.

After the sarcophagus was opened, Xiao Qin went to the side and looked inside.

Within the stone coffin, there was a skeleton. This skeleton was wrapped with an ancient, thick azure sword, with a blade width of around four inches. From the tip of the sword to the hilt, there could be strange animal designs. When Xiao Qin saw the sword inside, she couldn’t help but let out a sigh of relief. She extended her hand, wanting to take out the Sky Demon Sword. However, just as she extended her hand into the sarcophagus, the skeleton suddenly moved. Raising both hands, it actually grabbed towards Xiao Qin’s head.

When Xiao Qin saw this, she snorted in disdain. She opened her mouth and a stream of cold air appeared. In an instant, it turned into an ice pillar that flew toward the skeleton’s hands.

With a “pa” sound, the two hands of the skeleton were penetrated by the ice pillar and brought to the bottom of the sarcophagus, where they were nailed to the ground and unable to move. The skeleton moved about ferociously, its skull moving up and down. The leg bones moved as well, as if they wanted to struggle. Seeing that, Xiao Qin stopped her hand from holding the sword. With a light shake, she summoned out a cold mist from the sarcophagus and pressed it down.

‘Kacha! ‘His bones were crushed into dust by the layer of cold mist. Ding Hong had been standing at the side the entire time. When he saw Xiao Qin’s imposing manner, he couldn’t help but wonder what this woman’s cultivation level was.

After seeing that there was no movement from the skeleton, she extended her hand towards the Sky Demon Sword. This time, there was nothing unexpected. After she took out the Heavenly Demon Sword, she carefully examined it and muttered to herself, “Why didn’t those demon clan members take it away?”

Seeing her like this, Ding Hong couldn’t help but ask, “Can Fairy Xiao bring me to the Spirit God Tower to find the person?”

“Eh?” Xiao Qin came back to her senses and realized that she had lost control of herself. She apologized, “Sorry, I just thought of something. To the Spirit God Tower? ” She thought for a moment and said, “Alright.”

She did not hesitate any longer. With a wave of her hand, Ding Hong and the ice cubes she was on were sliced apart. Then, she rose into the air and flew towards the Spirit God Pagoda.

Just as they left, a snowdrift in the distance suddenly moved. A wolf demon clad in armor saw them leaving, raised its head, and let out a wolf howl. Soon after, the howls of wolves came from another place, and soon after, the howls of wolves also came from another place. They were actually learning from the flames of the human army to transmit the enemy’s message!

Xiao Qin and Ding Hong didn’t fly for long before they suddenly realized that Xue Xiao had become smaller. It didn’t take long before she stopped.

The snow finally stopped after a long time.

The Spiritual God Pagoda was not a real pagoda, but a desolate mountain. There was not a single blade of grass growing on the mountain; it was all hard and black rocks. There didn’t seem to be any snow here, not even rain.

The sky was overcast, and the light spread only dimly above the clouds. A cold wind assaulted one’s throat, instantly causing one to be unable to breathe.

Xiao Qin stopped halfway up the mountain, “This is the Spirit God Pagoda.”

She seemed to be very fond of the Sky Demon Sword, her fingertips touching the blade.

“You two sword thieves will die a horrible death!” You two sword thieves will die a horrible death! The crimson voice suddenly rang out. For some reason, he couldn’t get out.

Ding Hong raised his hand and looked at the small stone in his hand. “Can’t he get out?”

“It’s not that you can’t get out, it’s that you don’t dare to.”

Ding Hong frowned as he looked at the stone in his hand. He also didn’t want to care too much about it. He was thinking about where Ji Yuanmeng and Suo Bing had been taken to. After observing his surroundings, he realized that there was nothing here other than a black barren mountain.

“This is the Spirit Stone Tower?”

“Right.” Xiao Qin finally removed her hand from the tip of the sword and took in a deep breath of the surrounding cold air. Her face reddened a little as she said: “However, this is the outermost area of the Spirit Stone Tower.

“What do you mean?”

Xiao Qin raised her hand and pointed in a certain direction, “Rumor has it that there are a million demon soldiers there. However, because of the relationship between the Curse and the Ghost Clan, it’s hard to not confirm whether or not it’s real.”

“Then, my friend can’t be saved?” Ding Hong said in a deep voice.

“Hold on, young master.” Xiao Qin turned her head to look at him and said: “I was also thinking along the way just now that this demi-human normally disdains abducting others. Moreover, he likes to travel in groups. Have you seen a large group of demon soldiers along the way? ”

“Nope.”

Ding Hong had observed along the way. He had rarely even seen hordes of animals, so how could they be considered demons?

“Thus, I’m guessing that those two friends of yours must have been taken away by someone else. Perhaps they came too hastily and did not have the time to leave behind any sort of mark.” Xiao Qin looked at him with a calm expression.

It was impossible to figure out the reason for his words unless he was experienced enough to know what was going on. Ding Hong couldn’t help but look at her from head to toe, as if he had never seen someone like her before. After thinking for a moment, he said, “Then who was the one who took them away? Just now, in the area around the Valley of Ice, there were no traces of any obvious fights! ”

“I wonder where you are heading to?”

“Actually, I’m escorting the ninth princess of the State of Zhou to Shu!” Ding Hong didn’t hide anything from him.

“Huh?” Xiao Qin had an expression of disbelief as she said, “Could it be that you are the one who escorted Ji Yuanmeng to Ba Shu?”

“That’s right! “What’s wrong?” Ding Hong looked at him strangely.

Xiao Qin’s expression suddenly changed and she opened her dimples, breaking the previous frosty expression on her face. He chuckled, “If you didn’t say it earlier, they would have already been taken back to Shu City by Bai Yi.”

“What?” Ding Hong was slightly dazed.

Xiao Qin explained, “I was able to enter and exit the Heavenly Demon Tomb most likely because of the convenience of King Shu, Bai Yi. Before I entered the Sky Demon Graveyard, he said that he was going to fetch his future wife.

She looked at the expression on Ding Hong’s face and noticed that there was a weird expression on it. It was a mixture of anger and helplessness. The combination was extremely wonderful. She could not help but say, “Why don’t we go to Shu City and take a look?”

“Sure.” Ding Hong did not know if it was true or false, but this information was still better than him blindly searching for information.

Xiao Qin saw that he agreed and cut another piece of mountain rock to carry Ding Hong into the air.

After they left, the mountain in the distance suddenly slipped and unexpectedly fell apart, revealing a huge cave! The cave was dark except for a pair of dark green eyes. Those eyes saw that after Xiao Qin and Ding Hong left, they suddenly disappeared. Soon after, the fallen rocks were all lifted up by the huge force. The mountain was still intact, so no one could tell what had happened.

Xiao Qin and Ding Hong were flying high in the sky, so it was naturally boring.

“How do you know him?” Ding Hong asked.

“Oh? The cymbals? ” Xiao Qin thought for a moment. “It was not long ago when I went to Wu Mountain to seek the Dao.”

“So that’s how it is.”

After Ding Hong asked this question, the two sunk into silence, not knowing what else to ask. Xiao Qin seemed to be able to endure this boredom and stood in front of him without moving an inch.

After travelling like this for four to six hours, they finally arrived at the capital of Shu. The capital of Shu was not built on the plains like the towns in the past. Instead, it was situated on the peak of a tall mountain. The surrounding mountain ranges descended vertically, as if they were stone pillars standing upright on the ground. Clouds and mist began to flow through them, as if they were in the realm of immortals.

The houses on the mountain all descended, the roads were paved with green brick, and where it was too steep, it was connected by bluestone steps and iron chains. When Ding Hong passed by a mountain wall a moment ago, he realized that one of the paths was only two feet wide! There was a chain nailed into the side of the mountain. It should be used as a handrail for people who passed by.

After taking a glance, Ding Hong immediately felt goosebumps appearing all over his body.

After a short while, Xiao Qin had finally arrived at the highest peak of a mountain. There was a majestic palace there. She stopped in front of the entrance to the palace. Although it was called a doorway, it was still marked by a slope. Two black wooden pillars stood next to it. The words “The Twelve Ancestral Magi in Heaven’s Blessing” were inscribed on the right side, while the words “The Divine Dance of the Three Realms” was written on the left side.

There were two guards there. They were dressed in simple clothes and their muscles were exposed, making them look quite domineering. The two of them had long since noticed them, and when they saw them land on the ground, they took a step towards the middle, blocking their path.

“Stop, we can’t run inside!” It was the real Bashu accent.

Xiao Qin took out a identity token and showed it to the two of them.

“The King’s Token? “My apologies, my apologies.” As they spoke, the two of them hastily opened up a path.

Xiao Qin and Ding Hong directly walked forward. After walking up a few flight of stairs, they arrived in front of a simple and unadorned palace.

There weren’t many guards here. After seeing the two of them, the guards continued to investigate. After showing their tokens, they continued to walk inside. Soon after, they arrived at a place at the back of the palace, close to the cliff. There was a small fenced yard and a house about half a meter away from the cliff.

And at this moment, the scene that occurred in the small courtyard made Ding Hong have the urge to vomit blood.

“Hey hey, can you not marry me?”

“You’re so handsome, there’s a bunch of people following you even when you just wink at them!”

“Look, isn’t that a super beauty over there …” “Eh …”

Who else could it be other than Ji Yuanmeng, who said so much nonsense just now? She was sitting beside a small stone table with Suo Bing, talking with a man with his back to her. Suddenly, she saw Ding Hong and couldn’t help but cry out in surprise. When Suo Bing saw him, she hurriedly stood up and stood beside him, “Young Master.”

Ding Hong nodded and looked at the man.

The man stood up as well and faced Xiao Qin. He said, “Fairy Xiao,” then looked at Ding Hong and sized him up, saying with a smile: “This young master is Feng, right? I’ve had a hard journey. ” He actually spoke with a proper Heavenly Region True Earth accent.

“That’s right. “Are you the King of Shu?”

“Yes, I am King Shu, Bai Gui.” he replied.

“Ai ai, I’m really sorry. Not long after you left, he came to find us. Originally, he wanted to leave something for you to guide you along, but after encountering a group of dressed Demonic Wolves, we had no choice but to leave in a hurry. ” Ji Yuanmeng suddenly interjected from the side.

Ding Hong rolled his eyes at Ji Yuanmeng, then frowned and said to Bai Yi, “Then can’t you send me any more news after we arrive at Shu City? Let me worry about it alone! ”

“Brother Xiaofeng, don’t blame her. These things are my fault. Furthermore, a few hours ago, I had already sent someone to Jade Valley Pass’s Frozen End Valley, but I didn’t think that you would meet Fairy Xiao. ” As he spoke, he looked towards Xiao Qin.

“We just happened to meet each other in the Sky Demon Tomb.” Xiao Qin said.

“Oh, I see.” Bai Yi pondered for a moment before replying, “I’m afraid that those demi-humans want to directly head to the Heavenly Demon Tomb from the Valley of Endless Ice to obtain the Heavenly Demon Sword.” He looked at Xiao Qin. After seeing the sword in her hand, he smiled and said, “Aren’t you still holding the Sky Demon Sword?”

Xiao Qin nodded and didn’t say anything else.

“This place is small, let’s go somewhere else.” A man in a black cloth, even a man and a woman, walked up from not too far away.

“King.”

“Go and get some good tea,” he said in a low voice.

“Four.” He backed away.

Ding Hong also found it rather crowded and agreed with the cymbal’s suggestion.

“Mhmm, it’s time to change locations. This place is too crowded.” Ji Yuanmeng jumped and jumped. Her face revealed an extremely excited expression. She even ran to the front to look and see where it was.

He looked at her with a strange light in his eyes.

“Please follow me.” He was leading the way in front. When he passed by Ji Yuanmeng, he suddenly held her hand, “Come with me, my future wife.”

“Let go, let go!” Ji Yuanmeng pouted and tried to break free, but found that he was holding tightly to her. She was like a deflated ball and could only follow him forward.

They walked around the hall and arrived at a bamboo building. The bamboo building was built near the cove. The material on it was young and tender, just like bamboo that had just been cut down. Bai Yi did not seem to like being in a big battle. He looked like a normal person wherever he went. He did not have any intimidating aura about him.

“This is my private teahouse. Normally, people are rarely invited here.” The cymbals laughed.

The few of them entered the bamboo building. The first floor was divided into two rooms, one on each side. However, the space was too small, so they directly went to the second floor. On the second floor, there was a long bamboo table, hollowed out in all directions. Occasionally, there were some lush green branches extended into the table. It felt very warm and pleasant.

“Everyone, please take a seat. I do not wish to use the name of the emperor of Shu to suppress others.” He pulled Ji Yuanmeng to sit at one end of the long table.

Seeing him act like this, Xiao Qin was the second one, followed by Ding Hong casually finding a place to sit. Seeing this, Suo Bing followed Ding Hong closely and sat beside him.

Not long after they sat down, a few beautiful women wearing unique embroidered blouses and black pants came over with bamboo trays. One of them had a brown clay teapot in front while the other was filled with empty bamboo cups.

They put down their things and left in a hurry.

Bai Yi stood up and poured a cup of tea from the teapot. He returned to his seat and said, “This tea is a new dish that I grew myself. Its name is Blossom Stone, and it’s not usually given to people to taste.”

Xiao Qin did not hold back and picked it up to take a sip. She felt that the taste was refreshing and the aftertaste was mellow and fragrant. The tea leaves were white in color and bloomed like spring flowers. Just a glance at them would make one feel refreshed. He couldn’t help but say, “Good tea.”

When Bai Yi heard this, the smile on his face grew even wider.
