Chapter 1423: The North
Xiao Yi chatted with Mr. Gu for a while before hanging up the phone.
"It's better to come early. I have to send you to hell so that I can go to Kunlun Realm with peace of mind..."
Xiao Yi narrowed his eyes slightly, thinking...
In the middle of the morning, Xiao Chengen and his companions sent Xiao Yi and the other person out.
Several people knew that Xiao Yi would not be back in the short term, and they were also somewhat worried about him.
"Xiao Yi, I think I won't say any more."
Xiao Chengen said seriously.
"Don't worry, Third Ancestor. I am not young and frivolous anymore. I won't be so impulsive, haha."
Xiao Yi smiled.
"Well, be careful."
Xiao Chengen and others warned.
"Mother, Third Ancestor...you all take care of yourselves too."
Xiao Yi glanced around.
"Xiao Yi."
Ji Yue gave him a look.
Xiao Yi was stunned for a moment, then he understood and hesitated for a moment.
Xiao Wantang looked at the two of them, still a little confused.
"Mother."
Xiao Yi finally stopped hesitating, took a step forward and hugged Xiao Wantang.
It’s not that he didn’t want to, he was indeed a little embarrassed, but because of Ji Yue, he gave up those thoughts.
"Take care of yourself, I will be back safely."
Xiao Yi hugged Xiao Wantang tightly.
"You too, be careful."
Xiao Wantang felt a lump in her throat and patted Xiao Yi on the back.
Ever since she met Xiao Yi, the mother and son have been spending less time together than together, but she never shows any sign of it, because she knows very well how heavy the burden her son has is.
Seeing this scene, Xiao Chengen and others laughed, and Ji Yue was also very happy.
Afterwards, Xiao Yi and Ji Yue set out on the journey to the northern border.
“I don’t know when all this will end.”
On the way, Xiao Yi said calmly.
"After this, what do you want to do, accompany your aunt?"
Ji Yue guessed.
"Well, if you want to be loyal, then you should be filial, haha."
Xiao Yi's tone seemed quite relaxed.
"I'll be afraid of you then..."
Ji Yue paused and didn't continue.
"I'm afraid there's no chance of stopping. Since ancient times, it's been difficult to be both loyal and filial, right?"
Xiao Yi looked at Ji Yue.
Ji Yue was stunned and didn't know how to respond to Xiao Yi for a moment.
"But Xiao Yi, what secrets are hidden behind these ten divine weapons?"
Ji Yue couldn't help but ask, this was the question she had been thinking about.
"You'll have to ask Master about this, but I don't think he can explain it clearly."
Xiao Yi shrugged.
"Could it really be related to the stability of the entire China?"
"Well, it's not impossible."
Ji Yue nodded seriously.
In the afternoon, the two men appeared in a Gobi desert in the northernmost part of China, near the border.
"I told you to come with me. How about it? Are you satisfied with the environment here?"
Xiao Yi looked at the desolate scene in front of him and said to Ji Yue.
"I'm not here for tourism. Besides, the wilderness has its own unique beauty."
Ji Yue blinked her beautiful eyes and said.
"That's true. Then you are the rose in the Gobi Desert."
Xiao Yi joked.
"…Why would that Heavenly King be stationed in a place like this?"
Ji Yue was a little confused.
"Often the more such an area is, the more likely it is that it will become a necessary route for certain foreign forces.
The large urban areas in the east are also close to the border, but they are very prosperous and have top law enforcement officers stationed there, so the overall situation is relatively stable..."
Xiao Yi explained.
"So that's it."
Ji Yue nodded. It seemed that it was the same as the soldiers stationed on the border.
"What is the name of this female king? What kind of person is she?"
"Red Sky King, Ling Qianfan... As for what kind of person she is."
Xiao Yi pondered.
"He's a little weird, but you won't feel that way once you get to know him. Mainly, he has a bit of a bad temper, but he's also a very generous person. Most importantly..."
"what?"
"Don't say the word 'old' in front of her. If you want to get closer to her, you have to praise her beauty."
"Then she..."
Ji Yue thought about it and felt that it was inappropriate to ask this question.
"what happened?"
"Is she pretty?"
"Haha, she is indeed very pretty. As for women, once they get a little older, I can't accept it."
"So...how old is she?"
"He's almost fifty, which isn't that old among cultivators. She's just overthinking it."
Xiao Yi smiled, took Ji Yue's hand and walked towards a camp in front.
"stop!"
A law enforcer came up quickly.
"Where did the Heavenly King come from??"
He was just about to say, "Who are these two lovers, coming to this Gobi Desert for adventure?", but he recognized Xiao Yi and his eyes were as red as bells.
"Where am I from? The Xiao family, hehe."
Xiao Yi glanced at Ji Yue and smiled.
"Your subordinate greets the Heavenly King!"
The strong man knelt on one knee.
Crash.
Several people not far away rushed over frantically, and when they saw Xiao Yi, they all knelt on the ground and bowed excitedly.
"Get up and talk."
Xiao Yi glanced around and found that everyone looked a little dusty.
"What's wrong with you? Where is my sister Ling, the Red King?"
"The Red King... is in the western cemetery."
The leading law enforcer replied.
"What happened?"
Xiao Yi's heart sank.
"We just fought off a group of Sand Kingdom gods last night. This is the second time this month."
Law enforcer said.
"The Red King is burying her fallen comrades."
Xiao Yi frowned, nodded slightly, and said nothing more for the time being.
A few minutes later, Xiao Yi and Ji Yue arrived at a cemetery west of the camp.
call……
A gust of wind blew, carrying yellow earth and gravel into the sky.
Xiao Yi and the other man stopped and looked up at the magnificent gate of the cemetery, feeling heavy in their hearts.
A law enforcement officer recognized Xiao Yi and hurried over to salute him.
Xiao Yi stopped them from saying hello to Ling Qianfan, and walked slowly into the cemetery with Ji Yue.
It was at this moment that Ji Yue suddenly felt that the wind in the cemetery had become a little softer, but the sky outside the cemetery behind him was still filled with yellow sand.
Ji Yue suppressed the shock in his heart. As far as the eye could see, there were at least hundreds of tombs arranged neatly.
"How...why are there so many?"
Ji Yue was a little surprised.
"A few years ago... there weren't so many..."
Xiao Yi frowned even more tightly, feeling quite heavy as he looked at the names on some tombstones.
Then, the two climbed up the stairs and came to an open space at the top, where stood a towering monument with the words "Eternal Immortality" inscribed on it.
The ceremony seemed simple and brief.
More than twenty law enforcers, with their backs to Xiao Yi and the other man, bowed deeply in front of the three coffins. All of them had sharp eyes, but all of them had varying degrees of injuries.
The whole scene was solemn and dignified!
A few steps away, Ling Qianfan was sitting on a rock with his left knee curled up, his left arm resting on his knee, and a jar of wine in his hand.
She looked at everything happening in front of her calmly, her eyes seemed a little empty. A gust of wind blew by, blowing up her clothes and messy long hair.
"Gudu..."
Ling Qianfan picked up the jar of wine, tilted his head back and took a big gulp.
It was at this moment that she and Xiao Yi looked at each other, her movements paused, and then she took two more sips before putting the jar of wine down.
"Look, which wind brought our Heavenly King here?"
Ling Qianfan's eyes finally regained some expression and a smile appeared on his lips.
"Sister Ling."
Xiao Yi shouted, not at all surprised by Ling Qianfan's behavior.
Then, he faced Ling Qianfan and bowed.
Ji Yue also bowed, feeling somewhat puzzled. Wasn’t Xiao Yi the leader of the three heavenly kings?
