long night walk

Chapter 1594 The Knife Comes From Behind

At the Xixuan Peak Observatory in Kunlun Mountain, one could vaguely see the dark clouds in the sky that were as deep as the ink abyss, and the thunderbolt brewing in the darkness.

In the thunderstorm, all things become silent and dead.

The figure that was swallowed up was so small that it seemed as if it was thrown into the boundless stormy sea. No matter how Qingxuan's spiritual sense sensed, he could no longer feel any trace of his breath in this world.

At this moment, a helpless sigh was heard in the night wind.

“You should save your energy, right? The Immortal Tribulation, which kills all living things, even if your spiritual power is so strong, Qingxuan, you can’t penetrate deep into the Tribulation to sense that guy’s aura, not to mention…”

Qingshui walked up from behind her and stood with her on the railing. He looked up at the depths of the night sky filled with thunder and chaos. He paused and said, "So much time has passed. Do you think he still has the aura to capture for you now?"

The moment Qingxuan withdrew her consciousness, she had a splitting headache, her spiritual sea of ​​consciousness was boiling, the pain in her head was difficult to calm down, her face was a little pale, but she could not hide the complex disappointment on her face.

The fingers that were placed on the railing and were very cold from the wind slowly curled up. She pursed her lips tightly and said nothing. After a long time, she seemed to have calmed down her complicated mood and said lightly: "You went to Yunyin Peak to persuade the immortals again today. How is the situation?"

She knew that Qingshui had just talked about Bailian, but she did not mention the thunder tribulation at all, and just calmly discussed the situation and war in Kunlun Mountain.

But the feeling of loss in her eyes as she lowered her brows was difficult to conceal.

Qingshui looked at her deeply, as if he wanted to say something, but he held back.

She said softly, "What else can we do? Now that things have come to this, do we still need to lobby? The knife is on their necks, and they can't help but know the truth of the lips and teeth."

Qing Xuan exhaled slowly and said, "Qing Ao had already started the layout in the mountain hundreds of thousands of years ago. We have lost more than a little bit of the initiative. Regardless of other things, just the ritual of knocking on the spirit, 90% of the Kunlun people in the mountain have been planted with purple magic Gu in their spiritual platform and sea of ​​consciousness. Qing Ao refined the Gu order and gave it to his generals. When the Ten Directions War broke out, the Kunlun people in our mountain had already been suppressed everywhere. Not to mention that the True Immortal Sect has been developing in the mountain until now, and its own strength has long been an existence that cannot be underestimated.

Now that we have been able to get the interests of all the immortals in the immortal world to align, it can be regarded as a solution to our Kunlun’s urgent needs.”

Qingshui shook his head and said, "Everyone is in danger and wants to protect themselves. We have been dealing with the immortals for more than a year or two. It is impossible to ask them to protect Kunlun and fight to the death. The interests of the Kunlun demons and the immortals will never be truly consistent.

What's more, the forces of the Immortals are too scattered. If we don't have an absolutely outstanding leader to command the overall situation and deploy troops to formulate tactics suitable for each force, these Immortals will never be a handy weapon or shield for us."

Qing Xuan said: "From the current perspective, it is true, but it does not mean that everyone is useless. There are many people in the immortal race who are high-sounding and self-protective, but this does not mean that there are no people with good character who understand the overall situation."

Qingshui sighed and said, "I know what you want to say. But Qingao seems to have predicted our thoughts."

Qing Xuan was startled: "What?"

Qingshui's face was heavy, and he whispered, "A few days ago, I went up the mountain to lobby the immortal elders from all sides, and several of them clearly expressed their determination to fight Kunlun Mountain to the bitter end."

Qing Xuan lowered his eyes, and a cold light flashed in his beautiful eyes: "Did something happen on Yunyin Mountain today?"

Qingshui nodded, his eyes darkening as he said, "Daoist Master Lianyue and Martial Ancestor Li Hanhui died mysteriously on Yunyin Peak tonight. They are dead and gone, and there is no way to save them."

Qing Xuan's eyes widened in shock, and he cried out, "How could such a thing happen? ! ! They are both hidden immortals who are superior to the Golden Immortals. Who can kill them?"

Qingshui looked solemn, and said: "Even if I have the ability to kill these two, this is Yunyin Peak, where many immortals gather. It is impossible to kill these two silently. It was not discovered until today. In this world, no one can do this. Immortal Lord Zhu Zhan can't do it, and the previous old demon king can't do it either. Only..."

Qing Xuan's eyes were stern, his gaze was cold: "Only the Queen who resonates with the Kunlun Heaven and Earth Spirit Treasure can do this."

Therefore, the not-so-solid relationship that the immortals had finally established with Kunlun Mountain was brought back to the freezing point in an instant.

Qingxuan and Qingshui knew very well that the Queen would never do such a thing.

But they can't stop others from being suspicious.

Being in another world is already unsettling, and when one's life is threatened, human instinct is to gradually lose the ability to trust.

First, there was the True Immortal Sect founded by the Emperor Chenghuang. Who could have thought that there was an old Lord Ao Qing hiding behind it? And the Queen has been sealing the Corridor Abyss for many years, absorbing the essence of Kunlun Heaven and Earth.

In this world, are there really people who are absolutely clear-headed and clean, and not tainted by dust?

The arrival of two great hermit immortals on Yunyin Peak today completely destroyed the possibility of the immortals and Kunlun Tongxin Alliance to defend against the enemy.

Qingshui said, "Not only that, after Taoist Master Lianyue and Martial Ancestor Li Hanhui, the Lord of the Yaogeng Temple, Wu Hongni, the True Man Fanshu, and the Immortal Le'an were ambushed one after another and suffered serious injuries. Among them, the Immortal Le'an was the most seriously injured. He was only hanging on by a thread thanks to the life-saving immortal herbs and elixirs in Kunlun Mountain. But even if I generously took out a large number of rare herbs and elixirs, now... I'm afraid that the immortals in the mountain will no longer trust us."

"What a vicious plot!" Qing Xuan snorted coldly, with a dangerous undercurrent in his eyes. "The three of them were injured in Kunlun Mountain. We can't just sit back and watch. The war is fierce now, and these spiritual herbs and medicines are already scarce and precious. In this way, the person behind the scenes not only achieved the situation he wanted, but also killed two birds with one stone, and successfully consumed our Kunlun Mountain's supplies and military strength again."

Qingshui said in a deep voice: "What's more terrifying is that I have no way of finding out who did this."

Qing Xuan said firmly: "It's impossible for one person to do this."

Qingshui agreed with him and said with certainty: "It was someone close to them who did it."

First he killed two hermit immortals, then he severely injured three immortals one after another, all on the same day...

There is no way it could be done by one person.

He did it so obviously that he didn't worry at all that the two of them would be able to notice it.

In this case, there is only one possibility.

It was the person they...trusted the most who did it.

Qing Xuan felt increasingly exhausted. At this point, she really began to feel overwhelmed and overwhelmed: "Qingshui, do you think... Qing Ao can actually do this?"

Not only did he infiltrate Kunlun Mountain on his own, he also deceived Emperor Jun Chenghuang's trust.

Even though he was the old God Lord, shaking the foundation of Kunlun Mountain was enough to exhaust all his experience and efforts.

It is impossible for him to run the Kunlun Mountain True Immortal Sect without being discovered and at the same time plant spies on the hermit immortals who the immortals nearby don't even know where to look for them on the mountains.

and so……

The worst thing happened.

She asked Qingshui to go up the mountain to lobby again and again, but her real purpose was not to try to make these immortals advance and retreat together with Kunlun Mountain.

But when facing a real tough battle, the most taboo thing is to have a knife behind you.

These immortals came in response to the call. When the war broke out, they could not be of any help, but they could not be abandoned. They could not guard against the deadly poisonous blade hidden in the dark.

……

……

In the Spring and Autumn Palace, Master Fanshu sat in the courtyard of the palace wall, looking up at the courtyard filled with fallen leaves in the winter wind, his back bleak.

The cold wind carrying the chill of ice and snow entered her throat. The pale-faced Fanshu Zhenren clenched his fist to cover his lips and coughed lightly twice. One of his sleeves was empty. One of his arms had disappeared completely at some point in time.

"Master, it's time to take your medicine." In the Spring and Autumn Palace, a female official came forward and brought the medicine, her eyes full of worry.

Fan Shu Zhenren's face was pale. She raised her eyes, but did not look at the bowl of medicine she brought. She seemed not to care about her injuries. She just asked calmly, "Where is Xiao Shanjun?"
