It took more than a month for mortals to travel, but the two of them really walked for more than a month. Along the way, they were no longer warriors, but just the most ordinary mortals.
Along the way, as winter passes and spring comes, everything gradually revives, and the greenery everywhere blooms with the original beauty of life.
The unprecedented peaceful time, without the constant battles, injuries, and running around that Ning Chen had to face, made Ning Chen cherish it exceptionally, and always had a warm smile on his face.
Mu Chengxue couldn't see him smiling, so he kept walking in front, out of sight.
As night fell, the chill began to rise in the wilderness. Ning Chen stopped and whispered, "Let's take a rest."
Hearing this, Mu Chengxue also stopped and said nothing. Over the past month, she has become accustomed to it.
The bonfire lit in the wasteland kept beating, dispelling the chill of early spring, although both of them were already born and not afraid of the cold.
Ning Chen looked at the bonfire, slightly in a daze. He knew that he could not delay for long.
The injuries on his body have fully recovered, and the journey to the academy is almost complete.
Mu Chengxue sat quietly by the campfire, looking at the man in front of him through the dancing firelight, a faint brilliance flashed in his beautiful eyes.
She wasn't stupid, so she couldn't see that he was stalling for time, although in her opinion, it was meaningless.
"Is your injury healed?" Mu Chengxue asked.
"Yeah" Ning Chen came back to his senses, sighed softly in his heart, then nodded and said, "It's almost done."
I thought it was the word "no" again, but I didn't expect to get an affirmative answer for the first time. Mu Chengxue looked slightly startled. He was about to say something, but when it came to his mouth, he swallowed it subconsciously.
"We will set off tomorrow morning," Ning Chen said with a smile on his face.
"Yes"
Mu Chengxue responded without saying anything more.
The quiet night gradually passed, and when the eastern sky lit up, Ning Chen waved his hand to extinguish the bonfire, stood up and said, "Let's go."
The next moment, two white lights streaked across the sky, rushing towards the academy.
Tiancang Academy, the Master turned his head and looked into the distance, his old eyes were full of waves, without any light.
The long years of thousands of years have exhausted all the strength of the old man, but he is still working hard to hold on until the day of destiny arrives.
Not far away, in another small courtyard, Headmaster Tiancang also felt the two breaths coming from the east and walked out of the wooden house.
After a while, Ning Chen and Mu Chengxue appeared and landed together.
"Already decided? I should have said that if you are not sure, don't take risks easily." Headmaster Tiancang glanced at the two of them and said calmly.
"Please give me some advice from Headmaster," Ning Chen said seriously.
Chengying, Dayin's green bird was unsheathed at the same time, the sound of swords resounded through the academy, and the extremely cold air turned the surrounding thousands of feet into a world of ice and snow.
At the same time, Great Xia Imperial City, Haowu Prince's Estate, and Xia Ziyi, who had been sleeping so long, woke up, opened their eyes, and sat up from the bed. Their long black and white hair fell down, piercing the heart.
"Oh? Finally woke up," Consort Luo said with an incomprehensible smile on his lips.
"Brother Imperial" Xia Xinyu, who had just come in with the medicine, saw the figure sitting up on the bed, excitement flashed in his eyes, and he called out with tears of joy.
Not long after, the news of Prince Haowu's awakening spread throughout the imperial city. Many people secretly breathed a sigh of relief, especially those from the Confucian sect, who sent greetings one after another.
Since the last morning court, Minister of Ceremonies, the representative of the Confucian sect in the court, has obviously aroused the anger of today's Xia Emperor. However, due to Grand Tutor's face, he did not break his face in public.
The power of Confucianism in the court is now in danger. Fortunately, Prince Haowu wakes up in time and may be able to reverse this unfavorable situation.
However, by the time all the Confucian figures gathered at Haowu Prince's Estate, Xia Ziyi had already left.
Weiyang Palace, Changsun looked at the figure kneeling in front and said with a serious look, "Have you thought about it?"
"I have made up my mind, I hope my mother will not stop me," Xia Ziyi said slowly.
Changsun fell silent. After a long time, he sighed softly and waved his hand, "You go ahead."
"Thank you to my mother"
Xia Ziyi kowtowed respectfully, stood up and left immediately.
Behind Changsun, Qing Ling's eyes flashed with a hint of worry. She could feel that after waking up this time, Prince Haowu had changed a lot compared to before.
In the deepest part of the palace, Nation-Protecting Divine Artifact was ups and downs, and the majestic and endless luck filled the air. At this moment, a figure in mysterious royal robes walked straight towards him, and after a while, he disappeared into the purple air.
The door opened with a rumble, and a moment later, it closed with a bang. Since then, there has been no news from Great Xia Prince Haowu.
Purple air swirled, and a huge stone gate vaguely appeared. The forbidden place was once one of the strongest foundations of Great Xia. However, after nearly a thousand years of evolution, it has now become the most dangerous forbidden place in the world.
Xia Ziyi went in. It was the first time someone entered after three hundred years.
Eternal Night Divine Cult, Abyss of Darkness, in front of the huge demon statue, there is still no movement in the coffins, only the powerful aura is diffused, filling the entire Abyss of Darkness.
Zong Qianqiu came over, knelt down respectfully, and waited quietly.
Eternal Night Divine Cult, the masters of all major temples have equal status. No one can be superior to others. The master of the second temple knelt down, which was shocking.
Suddenly, a dark aura that transcended heaven and earth appeared, suppressing everything, noble and cold. The moment it appeared, everything trembled sadly and crouched silently.
"Zong Qianqiu, slow"
The sound sounded far and near, and it was hard to tell where it came from, but it gave people an unprecedented pressure, surpassing any strong person, and making people feel their own insignificance.
"Lord, atone for your sins," Zong Qianqiu kowtowed in apology.
"Where is Scroll of Nothingness, how did you find it?"
"There is no news yet. Due to Scroll of Chaos, Eternal Night Divine Canon has been interfered with. It may take some time to sense its traces," Zong Qianqiu replied.
"Do it as soon as possible. I hope you won't let me down again next time."
"Yes" Zong Qianqiu responded.
The dark aura dissipated, and a blue figure fell down. When he saw it, it was Xuan Zhi who was supposed to die in the hands of Meng Xuanji.
A sword pierced through the heart. Even if he was born innately, he would not be able to save his life. The scene in front of him was really hard to understand.
Zong Qianqiu stood up and looked at Xuan Zhi, whose eyes were gradually coming back to consciousness, and narrowed his eyes slightly.
"Hall Master" Xuan Zhi knelt down and worshiped respectfully.
"Get up, you are still Xuan Zhi like Four Extremes Sacred Lands, don't show any flaws," Zong Qianqiu said calmly.
"I understand," Xuan Zhi said respectfully.
"Notify Four Extremes Realm Lord to prepare to open the two-border passage," Zong Qianqiu said.
"Follow your orders"
Xuan Zhi took the order, stood up immediately, and left quickly.
Tiancang Academy, the edges of the two swords are getting sharper and sharper day by day, and even Headmaster Tiancang feels the strong pressure.
Ning Chen's internal injuries were finally completely healed. His body was fully restored and his injuries were gone. For the first time in two years, he was able to perform his duties with all his strength.
With three volumes added to his body and an unparalleled foundation, combined with Mu Chengxue's extreme speed that reached the peak, even Headmaster Tiancang had to concentrate on fighting with both palms and swords, and the battle was extremely fierce.
Although both sides have their own reservations and have not exhausted all their moves, the edge of the battle is still rolling across the sky and earth, covering the sky and covering the sun with wild sand.
Great Yin Azure Sparrow Sword trembles continuously, lifting as light as heavy, with a force that shakes the sky and splits the earth.
Mu Chengxue's figure is so fast that it is difficult to distinguish. Chengying's sword edge is not visible, but it has been the reincarnation of dozens of swords.
Half a quarter of an hour later, the two sides stopped, Headmaster Tiancang waved his hands to disperse the dust and sand, and the cracked earth slowly closed up.
"I can only help you so much, but Martial Lord is more capable than me. You should be careful. If the battle situation changes, don't force yourself and get out in time."
"Thank you Headmaster" Ning Chen said politely and respectfully.
"Ning Chen, come here." At this moment, an old voice came and said hoarsely.
"Come here too." At the same time, Mu Chengxue's voice also sounded in the Master's ears.
Ning Chen was startled and looked towards the small courtyard in the distance, wondering why the Master was looking for them at this time.
Mu Chengxue narrowed his eyes slightly, he did not expect that Tiancang Academy would have such a strong person.
"The Master called you, come over," Headmaster Tiancang obviously heard the Master's voice and reminded him.
Ning Chen nodded and walked quickly towards the Master's courtyard with Mu Chengxue.
In the small courtyard, the Master rarely left the door and looked at the two people walking towards him. A faint look of exhaustion flashed across his old face.
At the same time, Great Xia Heavenly Edict Hall, Xia Mingri, who was discussing the war with the ministers, was about to stand up when he suddenly staggered, black blood overflowed from his mouth, and he fell backwards.
"Your Majesty"
Grand Tutor and others were shocked, immediately stepped forward and said urgently.
"Call... call..." Xia Mingri had a pool of black blood pouring out of his mouth. He just said two words and fainted.
"Your Majesty" all the ministers were in a panic, not knowing why such a change happened.
Heavenly Edict Hall Outside, many palace maids, eunuchs, and patrolling guards saw this scene. At this moment, they were so shocked that they were afraid of being silenced.
"Come on, please go and ask for the imperial doctor. If anyone dares to talk too much, the nine tribes will be killed." Grand Tutor stepped forward, using Xiantian True Qi to protect Xia Mingri's last breath, and then ordered in a deep voice.
"Yes"
A hidden Dark Dragon Guard appeared, and disappeared in the palace in a flash.
Great Xia Emperor is in crisis, the ministers are panicking, Grand Tutor's eyes are murderous, and his mind is quickly calculating the possible murderer.
The biggest suspect is definitely Eternal Night Divine Cult, but the people around Xia Mingri are all people who have gone through strict interrogation, and the possibility of being infiltrated as a spy of the cult is extremely small.
The imperial physician arrived soon after, and after checking his pulse, his expression immediately changed.
"Please cooperate with me and help seal His Majesty's heart."
The imperial doctor took out the silver needles and quickly acupunctured the Xia Mingri acupuncture points to disperse the poison with all his strength.
Grand Tutor Listen to the advice of the imperial physician and use your true energy to protect your heart and pulse to prevent poisonous poison from rushing into your heart.
The imperial physician's surname is Li, and he is the most skilled among the imperial physicians of the Great Xia Dynasty. Even compared to the sages of ancient medicine, he is not weak at all.
However, the poison Xia Mingri was exposed to was obviously unusual. When Physician Li was undergoing the acupuncture, hot sweat continued to drip from his forehead, making him appear extremely strenuous.
Half an hour later, Physician Li put away the silver needle and said in a deep voice, "I have tried my best. I hope you will be mentally prepared to establish a new emperor for Great Xia as soon as possible."<
