After bowing, the General Alliance bowed his head and respectfully withdrew.
During this process, he could feel that the seventh prince sitting high in the hall had his eyes on him all the time, so his expression did not hide it in the slightest.
Whether it was reluctance, relief, or eventual calmness, it was fully revealed, until he left the main hall and walked far away, before he stood up straight again and walked towards his residence in the capital with a smile.
When he meets a familiar colleague on the road, he will greet him gently.
He didn't control himself because of his second-order cultivation, and on his body, he couldn't see the slightest shelf, and his expression was gentle and elegant from beginning to end, until he lit an incense stick after returning to his residence, sat there and took out the chessboard, playing chess leisurely by himself.
But if you look closely, there is a touch of natural coldness in the depths of the smoke bird, like a poisonous snake hidden in the belly of a lamb.
"On the first day I came here, I mentioned the cauldron to His Highness the Seventh, but he didn't care at that time...... But today he suddenly summoned me over and brought this matter up again......"
The corner of the general alliance has a gentle smile, this is his instinct, every time he thinks about a problem, he has a smile on his lips.
"The overseer brought tens of thousands of sergeants, as well as Lingyun...... lost contact in Fenghai County!"
"At this moment, His Highness the Seventh asked me to get the cauldron."
The general alliance's smile was softer, and the coldness hidden in the depths of his eyes was also more hidden.
"So things can never be seen on the surface, on the surface I was asked to take the cauldron, but in fact he used me as a pawn, borrowing my hand to test the real situation of Fenghai County, and then he could analyze the real reason for the loss of contact with the army."
"And he himself, he can attack and retreat or defend, if something goes wrong with me, he can shirk it casually."
The general alliance smiled and picked up the chess pieces, obviously not falling, but the chessboard transformed into two chess pieces on its own.
This scene seems simple, but if there is a return to the void staring here, it will definitely be turbulent, because this simple action includes the almost ultimate application and sublimation of the law, transcending the virtual reality of all transformations.
The realm of returning to the void includes a thousand paths of shattered emptiness, myriad transformations of virtual reality, billions of thoughts, and unity of trillions of laws.
"I like the number three." The general secretary laughed lightly, gentle and calm.
At the same time, Fenghai County, in the Immortal Forbidden Land, in front of the Phoenix Bird Hall.
As the door opened, black devoured everything.
Not only the figures of Xu Qing and Zi Xuan, but also their minds were all integrated with this black spread.
The hall in his eyes was silent and empty, as cold as a dungeon, with only a withered statue standing in the middle, as if sealed in a cage.
This wither is a middle-aged woman, similar to Zixuan, but obviously not. His appearance was graceful, his expression was smiling, his eyes were full of compassion, and there was a lamp holding in the corner of his eye.
Like the most precious treasure in her life, this lamp is made of purple stone, like a blooming purple flower, with a purple phoenix bird perched on it, with wings spread and lifelike.
The moment he saw this lamp, the tearing feeling in Xu Qing's mind suddenly became strong, and the lost memories appeared one by one.
He turned to look at Zixuan, he remembered, he had entered here at the beginning, saw some pictures about Zixuan, saw a woman who looked exactly like Zixuan appeared under the withered statue, saw the door open, and walked into a man.
He also remembered the conversation in the picture, the man...... It seems to be the son of the ancient emperor of Xuanyou.
Everything came to Xu Qing's mind, turning into thunder and roaring his mind.
And at this moment, Zixuan, she was trembling, looking at the withered statue, she looked sad, let go of Xu Qing's hand, and unconsciously walked towards the withered statue, murmuring.
"My dream is a dark world with a lamp."
"It's extinguished, I imagine it should be a blooming Bauhinia flower with a purple phoenix bird perched on it."
"This lamp has always appeared in my dreams, dreams without light."
"The world in the dream is here."
Zi Xuan's voice had an ethereal meaning in this silent hall, as if it had come from the years and echoed in this life.
And as she walked, the moment she stood under the withered statue, the illusory body that appeared in Xu Qing's memory actually overlapped with Zixuan standing there, regardless of each other.
She looked at the withered statue, her eyes showing admiration, and it was even more bitter.
And then, the scene in Xu Qing's memory appeared in front of him again.
The figure of the prince penetrated his body from behind him, standing in front of Zi Xuan, the imperial robe of the four-clawed golden dragon, and the shaking of the nine-pearl emperor crown, making this figure's body exude a strong heavenly power.
The prince seemed to say something, Xu Qing couldn't hear it, he could only see Zi Xuan looking at the outside world from a distance, with a strong nostalgia and sadness in his eyes.
But this time, there was something different from what he remembered after all, Zi Xuan's voice, he heard.
"I won't leave."
"The father's decision is wrong, abandoning his people, abandoning his home, turning the sky into a holy place, and living there alone, what is the meaning of life?"
"Living for yourself, ignoring the ancient catastrophe, this ancient emperor...... He is not worthy."
Zixuan was sad and angry.
Xu Qing listened to these words, and his heart was sensational.
And the figure in the imperial robe was silent, and after half a sound, he stretched out his hand, as if he was making a final effort, Zi Xuan's eyes showed determination, and he shook his head again.
In the end, the prince's expression was lonely, he took out a purple vial, and finished doing this towards the statue, he put the vial aside, turned around silently, his expression was filled with sadness, and there was a touch of pain, and he stepped towards the door of the hall, penetrating in front of Xu Qing, and walking farther and farther.
As it disappeared, the door of the hall slowly closed.
The entire hall was quiet, only the lamp emitted fireworks, burning continuously, making a slight sound, and as the flames swayed, the light reflected the hall.
In this firelight, Zixuan looked sad, squatted down against the statue, and cried silently.
The picture in Xu Qing's memory ends here.
But this time, all this that appeared in front of his eyes did not end.
Time seemed to have no value in this hall, flowing silently until there were miserable wails and painful roars from the outside world.
The blood spread outside, and the cry for help came faintly.
And Zi Xuan's figure stood up again at this moment, and a set of battle armor appeared on her body, penetrating Xu Qing's body step by step and walking out of the main hall.
Xu Qing couldn't move, he could only watch silently, I don't know how long it took, the sound of the outside world slowly disappeared, and Zi Xuan's figure returned to the main hall with fatigue and weakness.
Most of her armor was shattered, and her body was covered in scars. But with this head in her hand, Zixuan's figure slowly walked in front of the withered statue and stared at the withered statue. There was a touch of tenderness on her pale face.
"Mother, I can only cut down that foreign god once, and she will be revived here in a few years. However, after she recovers, she will no longer have the divine personality, and I used the spell that you once taught me, Mother, and she will die from cannibalism in the future, unfortunately...... I can't see it."
Zixuan spoke softly, wanting to pick up the purple vial and add some oil to the oil lamp, but he was powerless, so he could only sit down against the withered statue and slowly close his eyes.
The soul flies, the soul is scattered.
The lamp was still burning, but without the addition of lamp oil, as time passed, its light gradually dimmed until it disappeared completely.
The entire hall fell into pitch black and cold.
As the fire disappeared, with the silence of the outside world, darkness descended and engulfed everything.
Time passes and the years change.
After an unknown number of years had passed, the Immortal Forbidden Land suddenly trembled one day.
A wave of revival rose, a low roar of the gods echoed, and flesh and blood appeared in the Immortal Forbidden Land. The flesh and blood covered the earth, flooding the halls, including here.
A long, long time passed, until this day, in this dark hall, a purple circle suddenly appeared in front of the statue.
It was revealed out of thin air, and the moment it appeared, it immediately caused a roar in the entire Immortal Forbidden Land.
And at the moment when this divine thought swept away, a hand stretched out from the purple circle, grabbed the extinguished lamp, and dragged it into the circle.
This hand seemed to want to grab the purple vial, but it was too late, so he left decisively.
But it was still a little late, and the divine thoughts from the Immortal Forbidden God came overwhelmingly, hitting the purple circle fiercely, and touching the hand.
The circle collapsed, turning into countless fragments and merging into the endless nothingness.
That hand trembled, although it still left, but the wick of the lamp in his hand fell off and was lost in nothingness, and he didn't know where it went.
The picture disappeared at this moment, disappearing in front of Xu Qing's eyes, and together with it, there was this hall and the withered statue, and the place was turned into ruins again.
It was like a dream, when he woke up, everything was gone, only Zi Xuan stood on the ruins, like a cold plum with proud snow, standing in a quiet valley.
No matter whether there were people around her watching, she seemed to be alone in an empty field.
Looking at the sky, he looked lonely.
After a long time, she said softly: "Let's go back."
Xu Qing walked over silently, and together with Zi Xuan, walked out, they didn't speak along the way until they left the Immortal Forbidden Land.
It was dark when they came, and the moment they walked out, they didn't know what day it was the day.
The sky was blue and the sun was shining, looking at Zi Xuan with a bleak figure in front of him, Xu Qing suddenly shouted at him.
Zixuan turned around and stared at Xu Qing, Xu Qing didn't say much, just asked him to stretch out his palm.
Under the sun, Zixuan's palms were clear, one by one, like fate.
"What is in your palm?" Xu Qing asked.
Zixuan was puzzled and shook his head.
Xu Qing looked at Zi Xuan's eyes and spoke softly.
"In the palm of your hand, there is sunshine."
