Chapter 1257 The nightmare came before the wind and rain

The God Emperor and the Immortal Lord Zhanlu reached an agreement with each other to exchange hostages......

This matter was not Xu Qing's expectation.

Not to mention that the Immortal Lord assigned him to carry out the escort.

Therefore, in the echo of the main voice, Xu Qing's eyes showed a sense of contemplation.

According to his previous judgment, the reason why the goddess was important was because she contained royal blood in her body and had the divine power of her father, the God Emperor.

Capturing it was an opportunity for the Immortal Lord to deeply explore the divine personality of the God Emperor.

It can give him more certainty and thus gain an advantage in war.

Yet...... Now there is an exchange!

Xu Qing narrowed his eyes.

On the scarlet giant, at this moment, the sea of light was turbulent, enveloping all directions, and at the same time, it also isolated the fire tower where Xu Qing was located into a separate space.

In this space, the fire tower was invisible, and the sky was crimson, converging on that machete.

Xu Qing held the scimitar, listened to the words of the general in front of him, pondered and looked up at the general, and spoke in a low voice.

"Can you know the Lord, why did the Immortal Lord trade this hostage with that God Emperor?"

When the general heard this, he looked at the starry sky, and after a while, the sound of vicissitudes of life came out.

"Because, the God Emperor gave several conditions, one of which is a condition that my fifth star ring monk cannot refuse!"

Xu Qing was concentrating, he was very curious, what kind of conditions could be called impossible to refuse, and the immortal lord also agreed and was willing to exchange for a goddess.

"First of all, the Divine Emperor Li proposed to use five immortals who were captured by the fourth star ring and had not yet been tortured to death as the first exchange condition."

"Among those five lower immortals, one is the last disciple of Immortal Lord Zhanlu, who has guarded the frontier with Immortal Lord Zhanlu for ten thousand years, and has made great military achievements on the battlefield, and the lord is responsible for the assassination.

"The other four, although their status is not as good as the former, but they have also made many military exploits for the fifth star ring, and the ending of any of them was originally destined to be tortured to death, but now, there is a possibility of surviving and returning."

"These are the first conditions put forward by the God Emperor."

"As for the second condition, that is, as I said before, it cannot be rejected by the fifth star ring monk, and even the immortal lord agrees with ......"

"That's a piece of Feiyu!"

When the Lord said this, his eyes showed a strange light, and he looked at Xu Qing.

"You ascended from the immortal capital, and although you have knowledge of history, it is not comprehensive."

"The fifth star ring, the battle between the monks and the local gods countless years ago can be described as extremely tragic, the killing of each other is enough to turn the world upside down, and in the end, the battle between the Immortal Venerable and the Divine Venerable caused the fifth star ring to collapse."

"There are many starry skies that are split, turning into several flying universes and separating the fifth star ring."

"For many years after that, all the Immortal Lords had a common mission, that is, to find back all the Feiyu and make the Fifth Star Ring ...... Territorial integrity!"

"Because the complete fifth star ring, the rules and laws contained in it, or luck, will be at its peak."

"Over the years, the vast majority of the flying universes have been recovered, but there is only one largest flying universe, which is nowhere to be found, which makes my fifth star ring never complete."

"And the second quid pro quo given by the God Emperor of Li is the last piece of Feiyu that the Fifth Star Ring lacks!"

"Once we get it, the territory of the fifth star ring will be complete, all aspects of the rules and laws will be completed, and the luck will be stronger, which will benefit all living beings."

"You say, who can refuse such conditions?"

The lord looked at Xu Qing.

Xu Qing was also moved, an incredible thought arose in his mind, and he said it.

"Could it be...... The Immortal Lord knew that the flying universe was in the hands of the God Emperor, so he captured the goddess?"

The master had a deep gaze and did not respond to Xu Qing's inquiry, but raised his hand and took out a piece of silver jade.

As soon as the jade came out, there were suddenly thousands of auspicious colors, shining with brilliance, and there was an extremely rich fairy aura flowing inside.

Vaguely, you can still see that there is a mysterious bubble inside the jade.

The moment he saw this bubble, Xu Qing's heart was shocked, and his own constitution fluctuated strongly, and the immortal embryo was the same, as if ...... Inside that bubble, there was the supreme will of the entire fifth star ring.

It resonates with the luck he has obtained.

"This is ......"

Xu Qing spoke softly.

"This is the fifth immortal pill!"

"Because it is connected to luck, it can only be used if it has the identity of a true king, and if it is swallowed by ordinary cultivation, it will be poisonous and death."

"Its function is to assist the true monarch to break through the immortal and increase the chance of success!"

"This pill is given to you by the Immortal Lord to carry out the exchange of escort goddesses!"

Xu Qing stared at the jade in front of him, his breathing was also slightly rapid, he could feel the resonance of the qi luck in his body, and he could also feel the trembling of the immortal embryo and even Xian.

All this made him form a clear understanding.

This elixir...... It is of great use to him!

And the voice of the Lord continued, this time, it contained some emotion.

"Xu Qing, Immortal Lord Zhan Lu is ...... to you I value it very much."

"Because there is a large army lined up, and the Immortal Lord will also stare at it during the exchange, there is not much danger, and it can even be said that anyone can actually complete this kind of hostage exchange.

And no matter who it is, after completing this task, they will first receive the gratitude of the five immortals and have a huge favor, and secondly, they will gain greater prestige, which is enough to attract the attention of the whole army."

"After this incident, your resume and qualifications are sufficient, and you should be able to lead the army alone!"

As he spoke, he raised his hand, and suddenly the jade containing mysterious bubbles flew towards Xu Qing.

Finally, it floated in front of Xu Qing.

Xu Qing was silent, looking at the object in front of him, and after a while, he took a deep breath and spoke in a low voice.

"Obey the Immortal Lord's Decree!"

The master nodded, stopped speaking, turned around and took a step, and walked into the silver giant eyes.

With a flash of light from the giant eyes, the surrounding sea of light dissipated in an instant, and everything returned to normal.

It was still a fire tower, including Xu Qing, as if nothing had happened.

The giant eyes had disappeared.

Only those reward items, as well as silver jade, shone in front of Xu Qing, exuding the source essence and the strong fairy spirit aura.

Xu Qing was silent for a long time, analyzing the pros and cons of this matter in his heart.

"This matter...... does not appear in the illusion of the god of pain......"

"And this exchange seems reasonable, but ......"

Xu Qing pondered.

He instinctively felt that this matter was not that simple.

Whether it was the immortal lord's layout in advance, and whether he was exchanging Feiyu, or whether every step before was ......

It seems to be too smooth.

"Went smoothly...... It seems that the divine lord who left the punishment seems to be actively cooperating."

Thinking of this, Xu Qing's eyes shrank.

"As a god lord, one passive can be explained, but if it is passive every time, then it must be extraordinary!"

Xu Qing frowned, but he believed that when his cultivation reached the level of the Immortal Lord, what he saw and knew was by no means something he could think, and recalling the trend of the war, it was more likely that the Immortal Master who could have such a layout already had a strategy.

"So, what will be the ultimate goal of this possible layout between the two sides?"

Xu Qing thought for a long time, but still couldn't think of an answer.

So he looked at the reward in front of him, suppressed this thought, dispersed his thoughts, and transmitted the sound of the star ring and others in the outside world.

Soon, in the other eleven fire towers, all the Taoist sects who practiced cross-legged opened their eyes one by one, most of them with anticipation in their eyes, and got up one after another and went straight to the fire tower where Xu Qing was.

The moment they entered, everyone's eyes were all on those rewards.

Even the well-informed Xinghuanzi and Zhou Zhengli were in a trance at this moment.

"These are the source and military merits sent by the Lord."

Xu Qing spoke slowly.

As for the distribution method, they had previously agreed that Xu Qing, as the main combat force for finding traces and capturing the goddess alive, would receive 40% of the overall reward.

Because of his participation in the capture, he received 10% and a half of the overall reward.

The remaining forty and a half percent, the other ten people divided it equally!

Regardless of the source quality or military merit, it is distributed according to this method.

So soon, these source essence and military merits were divided among everyone, and after each of them took them away, their hearts were hot.

No one had any thoughts about Xu Qing taking the big head, after all, this is how he came down this way, and the distribution has always been like this, and Xu Qing's combat power is also worth taking these.

Xu Qing also felt that this distribution was reasonable, because without the help of others, it would be impossible for him to complete the killing and capture alone in the face of the goddess and the old god.

After the distribution, Xu Qing also informed everyone about the immortal lord's decision to exchange what the lord said, and at the same time expressed his doubts and guesses.

After hearing this, everyone had different expressions and fell into deep thought.

This is the habit of their team, when encountering problems, gathering everyone's wisdom to think and summarize from different angles.

"What Xu Qing said is very reasonable, the risk of this exchange should be not small, as for the background of the exchange, all I can think of is that the Immortal Lord does not want to expand the battle situation!"

"After all, if the battle situation expands, or there is a serious tilt, then one side may join multiple lord levels, so that we will do the same, and even the Immortal Venerable may come to ...... in the end."

"That's the real decisive battle!"

"This is a game between the god lord and the immortal lord, and their game is more ......"

"But this matter is a bit weird, what is the ultimate goal of Immortal Lord Zhanlu?"

"Whatever he does, just do it, our two brothers are invincible!"

Everyone spoke one by one.

Xu Qing listened to everyone's words, combined with his own judgment, his mood fluctuated, and then looked at Zhou Zhengli.

Regarding Zhou Zhengli's wisdom, Xu Qing has been clear along the way.

Zhou Zhengli frowned at the moment, looked at Xu Qing as well, and after hesitating for a moment, he rubbed his eyebrows and spoke softly.

"Young Master, and all the Taoists, do you think there is a possibility...... This exchange itself is actually part of the light?"

When Xu Qing heard this, his eyes were full of strangeness, and the words slowly came out.

"If this is the case, it is not enough to use the left-wing theater as a light, but to make this exchange that affects both sides become a brighter light, then...... The hidden hand to be hidden is probably not on the battlefield."

"It's ...... Inside the fourth star ring!"

Xu Qing's voice, like a storm, instantly churned in everyone's hearts.

……

Time passes, and the day of exchange that the Lord said is getting closer day by day.

During this time, Xu Qing and others had reached a consensus, and they were full of vigilance about the next exchange.

Xu Qing was also prepared here, constantly familiarizing himself with the Immortal Lord Dao weapon in the past few days, and at the same time using the source quality of this scarlet giant star, he made the mid-stage realm of the quasi-immortal he had just been promoted to stable level.

Keep yourself at the top.

At the same time, he also felt a different atmosphere for the outside world.

Because outside this scarlet giant, almost every day, legions come across the starry sky and are stationed around this star.

The number is increasing.

The awe-inspiring atmosphere became more and more intense.

Even more so there, whether it is the gods or the monks, they are rapidly assembling each other, and the combat power gathered is huge.

So black and white continue to intertwine in this left-wing war zone.

It's just the wind and rain coming!

Until, after only an hour left before the exchange time, there was a desolate horn sound blowing towards this scarlet giant.

The voice pierced the starry sky and echoed in the ears of countless monks.

Xu Qing, open your eyes from cross-legged!

The sea of light flare in front of him shone, and a restrained familiar figure shone from the sea of light and was sent to Xu Qing.

It's a goddess!

He was obviously living a good life during the time he was away from Xu Qing, his own essence had grown a lot on its own, and his skin had become shiny again.

After all, with the pattern of the Immortal Lord, even if it was probed, it would not be deliberately tortured.

So...... The fragrance is even stronger.

So Xu Qing's eyes were bright and he instinctively licked his lips.

And the goddess, looking at Xu Qing, her legs tightened, her whole body trembled uncontrollably, and her mind fluctuated strongly.

Like a nightmare.
