Shrouding the sky: Slashing the world of mortals with a sword, becoming the strongest empress

The ancients once said, "Look at the mountains and run to death."

Now, even though he knows that Qingyu Tower is on his way, Nan Xiao still can't get close.

After trying twice, Nan Xiao still refused to give up, so she asked Li Tianbao why he was here.

Li Tianbao held his head high and proud, and said: "Haha, brother Nanxiao, there is the most famous Demon Locking Tower in Xuanmang Ancient City. There are five Heavenly Lists inside, corresponding to the Wheel, the Dao Palace, the Four Pole, The cultivators of Hualong and the five secret realms of Xiantai!"

Then, he stepped on his shoulders again, a little annoyed, and complained: "I really don't know what those people in the Yuhuashen Dynasty are like. They transferred all the real masters in the city to destroy the mountains and build temples, so that the city lord Now I worry about the future tide of beasts all day long.”

Nan Xiao did not interrupt Li Tianbao's complaints, although she had already heard them.

After Li Tianbao finished pouring out all the bitterness in his heart, Nan Xiao slowly expressed his speculation, "But a master has arranged formations and Dao marks here that can make people get lost?"

"That's right! Although now, except for the city lord, all cultivators in Xuanmang Ancient City who are above the Dao Palace have been recalled by the imperial edict of the Yuhua Divine Dynasty, there is still an extraordinary formation guarding this place. Non-possessed Slash The person who ordered the demon, or someone to lead the way, otherwise the intruders will be confused and will never get close!"

Li Tianbao did not say that he would take Nan Xiao directly to the Demon Locking Tower, but took her to find a place for retreat.

On the way, Nan Xiao agreed to complete five tasks on the Demon Slaying Heavenly List in exchange for the qualification to practice here for one year in retreat.

If the tasks that could be posted on the Demon Slaying Heavenly List were completed well, they would have been taken over by cultivators in the city.

Therefore, for Li Tianbao, Nan Xiao's promise was extremely important and was a huge gamble mixed with future blood.

As the commander of the army, Li Tianbao had a close relationship with the city lord of Xuanmang City, so he took it upon himself to find a place for Nan Xiao that was absolutely safe and would not be disturbed during the retreat.

This place is located in a corner of the huge formation of the Demon Locking Tower. It is difficult for those who do not hold a token and have the unlocking pattern to enter.

Under the guidance of Qing Ling Jue's words, combined with what he saw along the way and the knowledge on the tree, Nan Xiao naturally chose to believe it.

There is a door within the door.

Nan Xiao followed Li Tianbao and walked through three courtyards.

Turning here and there, until it was getting dark, she arrived at the place where she would live in seclusion.

A very simple thatched house, but it has two floors and is made of bamboo.

Probably the bamboo house is specially prepared for practitioners, so there are no stairs.

The shape looks more like two rectangular parallelepipeds stacked up.

Pushing open the door without a latch, Nan Xiao walked in with a frown.

Although there are no windows, the lighting is excellent.

Nan Xiao looked up and found a square hole dug out between the two cuboids.

The bottom level is empty.

After flying into the second floor, I saw a stone table, two bamboo chairs and a simple wooden bed.

Further up, there is finally some brilliance.

The thatch, which is filled with a little bit of spiritual power, is stacked on the bamboo frame in a thick or thin manner, supporting a sky for the people who live here.

It can not only protect from wind and rain, but also let in the light and enjoy the cool.

Looking at the scene in front of her, Nan Xiao couldn't help but smile bitterly. She had already begun to miss the three wooden houses in Qingya Paradise.

Not far from the wooden house, the half-acre pond is filled with the beauty of life.

There are rocks on the clear spring, rice flowers fatten the fish, and water lilies bloom in the full moon.

There, you can see fireflies fluttering.

In the mountains and forests, there are also the roar of deer and flying cranes with bright wings.

But the great scenery is hard to come back, and there is no going back.

Since you have chosen a distant place, you will have to endure hardships and hardships.

Nan Xiao's eyes were firm and he decided to practice in seclusion here.

Li Tianbao first placed his hands on a white jade plaque engraved with a dragon and a phoenix in the palm of Nan Xiao's hand, and then promised that someone would send spiritual food to the Juxian Pavilion a few miles away from here every once in a while.

After giving Nan Xiao an overview of the specific situation of the mansion, Li Tianbao left first, preparing to go to the city lord to report the situation.

No matter how high the elusive Demon Locking Tower is, Nan Xiao has no intention of thinking too much about it at this time.

The eaves are not low or small.

There is green grass on the creek a few feet away from the bamboo house.She turned around and blocked the rising crescent moon from the door.

------------

The ruler of Xuanmang Ancient City is a powerful person, but he does not live in a high-rise building.

Instead, a simple and short house was built on the shady side of the barren mountain near the southern outer city.

If Nan Xiao were present, he would find that this hut is very similar to the bamboo buildings in the mansion where the Demon Locking Tower is located.

Except it's not a building, it only has one floor, and the material of the house is neither bamboo nor stone, like paulownia wood, which is very common in the world.

"City Lord, a young man came today, but I can't see through his cultivation. Moreover, he..."

Li Tianbao knocked on the door outside the wooden house, and then started talking to himself in a familiar manner.

After Li Tianbao hastily told the story of his encounter with Nan Xiao today,
The wooden door creaked.

In front of Li Tianbao's excited eyes, a young man wearing a purple robe with dragons and phoenixes embroidered on his chest walked out of a low and simple wooden house.

The eyebrow peak is like a distant mountain, but it flows into the river and sea at a low place.

There is endless sadness hidden in the soft eyes.

The city lord is not very tall, standing in front of the soldier commander Li Tianbao, he only reaches his shoulders.

But his temperament is very stable and intimidating.

In an era when everyone has troubles, the city lord of Xuanmang City did not have long hair, and his short hair looked very neat.

Her skin, as pale as cold jade, added a touch of elegance to her already handsome appearance.

Wearing brocade clothes and splendid robes, with thin lips slightly pursed, he looked like a romantic nobleman.

"I already know that this city is now used as a Taoist chessboard by a few big hands. All the masters in the city have been transferred away. Now there are only a few cultivators in the Taoist palace realm. The person you are talking about is far away from the so-called master. There are still many steps to go. At the Shenqiao realm, just give it a try. You don’t have to worry, I’m here, as long as you work hard, you won’t lag behind for too long.”

The Lord of Xuanmang City has a noble face, but his voice is very hoarse, completely inconsistent with the temperament of a rich and noble-looking young man.

The city lord stretched out his right hand and patted Li Tianbao on the shoulder, whispering a few words of encouragement.

Obviously he had not talked about Nan Xiao during the day, but he inferred Nan Xiao's cultivation level from the simple description given by the commander Li Tianbao.

Li Tianbao had long understood the mysterious power of the city lord. He stared excitedly at the man standing like a lone pine in front of him, his eyes pious as if he were on a pilgrimage.

The city lord smiled softly, put his raised hand down again, then raised his eyes to look at believer Li Tianbao, and asked: "Tianbao, do I smell good?"

Li Tianbao nodded hurriedly.

There were stars in his eyes.

Being struck by the longing gaze, the city lord was speechless, so he turned away with his hands behind his back.

In Xuanmang City, the night is blurry, and the lights and shadows of drunkenness and gold are reflected in the desolate north of Yinshan Mountain.

However, all the prosperity seems to have nothing to do with the city lord.

At this moment and here, the supreme ruler on the bright side of Xuanmang Ancient City was looking at the dark and dim sky from a distance, his brows were downcast and he didn't say a word.

Li Tianbao followed the city lord step by step, piously and resolutely.

There is no cloud in the sky, the moon is high in the southeast, and the sky is lonely.

The nameless city lord of Xuanmang City and the 19-year-old soldier commander Li Tianbao were silent together with the mountains.

After a long time, the wind coming from far away rolled up the floating clouds and covered the bright moon.

The city lord, who had been depressed for too long, opened his thin lips slightly and actually told Li Tianbao, a pilgrim, an old story that was unknown to outsiders.

"Three years ago, the Yuhua Divine Dynasty, which has been respected in Zhongzhou for thousands of years, jointly issued a decree with the Nanling Demon Emperor Palace, the Northern Plains Golden Ancient Clan, and the North Desert Sumeru Mountain and other transcendent forces."

"From that time on, among the powerful people in Xuanmang Ancient City and the eight thousand miles of Nanling, except for me and the big demon, there are no masters in the realm of dragon transformation."

"After that, the Divine Dynasty transferred all the Taoist palace cultivators in the city away from this place in the name of destroying mountains and building temples."

"Now, with the existing power, how can we deal with the menacing wave of monsters..."

I raced against time and finally caught up before early morning!
