One joke from the witch, I open the gate of heaven with one sword

Chapter 84
At this point, the nine-tailed sky fox no longer made any struggle.

After a burst of hazy white light, the original human-like nine-tailed sky fox transformed into a white-furred fox the size of a palm.

"?"

Xu Lan squatted down with confusion on his face, reached out and flicked the furry white fox and couldn't help but laugh: "Is this your true body?"

"I don't bother to turn into a human form in front of you."

The nine-tailed sky fox rolled his eyes at Xu Lan, his tone full of resentment.

"Forget it, it's up to you."

Xu Lan smiled slightly, but did not reveal his true inner thoughts.

Transforming into human form is naturally not uncomfortable for these monsters, but it is only for them in their heyday.

Today's nine-tailed sky fox has suffered a lot of wear and tear.
In addition to being severely wounded by Xiahou Changyuan during the War of Ten Thousand Clans and subsequently being sealed for nearly a thousand years,
If she continues to maintain her human form in this state for one second, the consumption of her power will become even more severe.

At the same time, it was also to cope with the fact that Xu Lan would send him to an unknown place next.

The Nine-Tailed Sky Fox naturally conserves its strength as much as possible in order to cope with some emergencies.

"You are as despicable and shameless as that damn guy Xiahou Changyuan!"

The nine-tailed sky fox jumped on Xu Lan's shoulder while cursing, and then curled up near his shoulder and fell into a deep sleep.

"This"

Xu Lan looked at the nine-tailed sky fox who fell asleep for a second and shook his head.

That's it,

Being able to solve the monster chaos without any blood is the best ending. As for the nine-tailed demon fox,
Just wait until you return to Kyoto and then send it to where it should go.

Then he returned to where Chen Ci and others were. Guan Wu and others were even more surprised when they looked at Xu Lan, who looked calm and relaxed in front of them.

Especially when their eyes fell on the nine-tailed fox on his shoulder, everyone's expressions became extremely cautious.

"Everyone, the monster chaos is over."

Xu Lan chuckled softly and said: "In the future, you don't have to worry about monsters attacking Qingzhou."

After hearing this, everyone breathed a sigh of relief.

For half a year, they fought against these monsters again and again, but they never found a way to quell the chaos of monsters.

Now with Xu Lan's action, all this is finally over.

"Thank you Mr. Xu for helping me."

Guan Wu clasped his fists slightly and said with a hearty smile: "If the young master hadn't taken action today, I'm afraid we would have been dead too."

Just a fourth-level monster, the Jade Anaconda, was enough to make them miserable.

If Xu Lan hadn't arrived in time, not only would they all have died in battle, but millions of people in Qingzhou behind them would also have suffered a catastrophe.

"No thanks."

Xu Lan said calmly: "This is also my responsibility."

"I heard that Mr. Xu is returning from Kyoto, so I dare to ask you."

After some pleasantries,
Guan Wu pondered for a moment and then asked: "Is Kyoto still safe now?"

"Everything is fine in Kyoto, but not elsewhere."

Xu Lan was extremely smart and immediately guessed the hidden meaning of Guan Wu's words.

In the past six months, he had helped Xiahou Yunxi handle many memorials, and he knew a lot about the current situation in various places in the Chu Kingdom.

As for Qingzhou
He has not seen many memorials from Qingzhou in the past six months.

Logically speaking, the situation in Qingzhou is much more serious than imagined. At this time, there should be countless urgent memorials delivered to Kyoto.

But I have never seen any memorial related to Qingzhou in the past six months.

This one is very strange.

Of course, it is also possible that the person responsible for reporting these situations to Kyoto died tragically on the way, but this explanation is unconvincing.

One died on the way, two died on the way, how could there be three or four?
In addition, there is another explanation, that is, some memorials about Qingzhou were blocked outside Kyoto by interested people.

But which one specifically?
Now Xu Lan has no intention to pursue it, after all, it has nothing to do with him.

But after all, Guan Wu is right in front of you,
There are some scenes where you still have to speak out, otherwise it will inevitably turn into the second Lin Wanying.

After all, they had been defending Qingzhou for half a year but still had no reinforcements. No one in this situation would feel resentful.

"Has the situation become so serious?"

Guan Wu sighed slightly,
Now he seemed to understand why no reinforcements arrived from Kyoto. I am afraid that the people sent out to request reinforcements would have died on the way.

"It's really serious."

Xu Lan said calmly: "I have taken action several times to severely injure these monsters along the way, but in the end it was still a drop in the bucket."

Although he is a practitioner of the Seven Realms,
But it is impossible to travel across the Chu Dynasty overnight to quell all the monster chaos.

I'm afraid even Xiahou Changyuan can't do this.

"understood."

Guan Wu clasped his fists again and said: "In this case, we can't continue to be idle. We need to rush to nearby towns to assist."

Afterwards, Guan Wu made some adjustments and left Qingzhou with the people of Tiance Army.
The black armored cavalry army continued to stay in Qingzhou. After all, they themselves belonged to Qingzhou's city defense force.

Only Chen Ci
She originally wanted to leave with Guan Wu, but Xu Lan's "Long time no see" made her stay.

"You went to Kyoto half a year ago, why didn't you tell me?"

The two of them were walking on the official road of Qingzhou, and when they looked at the ruin-like city walls of Qingzhou not far away, Chen Ci finally expressed the questions in his heart.

This problem has troubled her for half a year.

She never understood why Xu Lan didn't look for her when he went to Kyoto.

"You do not know?"

Xu Lan was slightly startled,
Chen Ci was sent to Qingzhou after the Monster Rebellion broke out half a year ago, and Sun Hongying returned to Qingzhou not long after that.

Based on his understanding of Sun Hongying, he should be able to find Chen Ci and say a few words.
Now it seems that Sun Hongying did not meet Chen Ci after returning to Qingzhou, otherwise she would not be as unaware as she is now.

"You think I should know?"

Chen Ci's tone was calm,

However, Xu Lan clearly heard that his tone was a bit aggrieved, and then shook his head and explained the reason.

"My father's disappearance half a year ago involved the royal family, and I don't want you to get involved."

This is Xu Lan’s true words,

With my own understanding of Chen Ci, once I went to find Chen Ci under the circumstances at that time,
So with her temperament, she definitely wants to get to the bottom of it.
But her identity is too sensitive,
Once you get involved, it will make the whole thing more difficult.

"So you took that woman with you?"

Chen Ci seemed unwilling to accept it.

Even if something like this happened, Xu Lan would rather find that woman for help than meet him in Kyoto.

"She doesn't have an official position. Secondly, Da Chu doesn't mean much to her. She doesn't need to consider any consequences when doing things."

Xu Lan smiled and said, "Didn't you realize that she could obviously solve this monster chaos for Qingzhou, but she turned a blind eye?"

When she left Kyoto, Sun Hongying's cultivation level was already close to the middle stage of the Five Realms.
With her strength, it might be difficult to completely suppress the Nine-tailed Sky Fox, but if she was willing to take action, Qingzhou would definitely not be in the current situation.

"Is that so?"

Chen Ci raised his head slightly and said with complex eyes: "The disaster that Yuxuan heard in Kyoto that day was hers, right?"

"Well, it's indeed hers."

Xu Lan smiled and said: "It was quite dangerous that time. If it hadn't been for someone noble to take action, I might not be able to stand in front of you now."

Xu Lan still has lingering fears when thinking back to Sun Hongying's disaster half a year ago.

Ordinary practitioners can only die from a few thunderbolts falling from heaven, but as the reincarnation of Xingjun, Sun Hongying has experienced 99 of them!
If Xiahou Changyuan hadn't taken action that day,
He didn't know whether Sun Hongying would die, but he would definitely die anyway.But it was only after experiencing that incident that I made up my mind to practice hard.

"Your cultivation base."

After a moment of silence, Chen Ci stopped asking about what happened before.
After all, it doesn't matter to her whether something is true or not.
The important thing is that Xu Lan is willing to tell her.

Then she cast her eyes on Xu Lan with a puzzled expression.

When I first met Xu Lan half a year ago,

He is still an incompetent scholar, and now, in just half a year, his cultivation is already beyond his comprehension.

"In the past six months, I have devoted myself to practicing in Kyoto, and my cultivation level has naturally improved."

Xu Lan said casually: "It's just the Seventh Realm."

Also. Just the seven realms?

In an instant,
Chen Ci felt that his understanding of life for more than ten years was shattered by Xu Lan's understatement.

"I didn't expect that a joke I made that day would actually come true."

Chen Ci sighed slightly,
When chatting with Xu Lan that day, he once said that the Seventh Realm would allow him to travel sideways in the Chu Dynasty.

Unexpectedly, in just half a year, Xu Lan would transform into a practitioner of the Seventh Realm.

"really."

Recalling the past, Xu Lan couldn't help but laugh and said: "But the Seventh Realm can only be walked sideways in the Chu Dynasty, and it won't matter if it goes outside."

"There will never be eight realms in Da Chu. Is this true?"

Chen Ci frowned slightly, and she heard some other meanings in Xu Lan's words.

As a member of the Xuanjing Division, she naturally knows some secrets that ordinary people don't know. For example, it is impossible for practitioners of the Eighth Realm to appear in the Great Chu Dynasty.

But that's all she knew. She also didn't know about some of the more complicated things.

"Ah."

Xu Lan weighed it in her mind, but in the end she still didn't tell her some things she knew.

"There is a special formation in Dachu. This formation isolates all forces above the eighth level."

Xu Lan continued: "Not only are the cultivators of the Seventh Realm unable to break through here, but even the cultivators of the Eighth Realm outside will be forcibly suppressed to the level of the Seventh Realm after entering Dachu."

"I see."

Chen Ci nodded,

If this was the case, then she could understand why Xu Lan meant to leave Dachu in his words.

Considering Xu Lan's talent, it is indeed impossible for him to stay in Dachu.

However, her mood began to become a little depressed for a while, and Xu Lan couldn't say much when she saw this.

The two of them walked slowly like this,

He walked back to Qingzhou from the official road outside Qingzhou City, and then walked back to the Xu Mansion.

"arrive."

Chen Ci slowly said: "I won't go in."

"We've all arrived at the door, why don't we come in and have a meal together?"

Xu Lan's heart was as clear as a mirror,
He understood something when he looked at the neat and clean facade of Xu Mansion.

Xu Mansion should have received a lot of care in the past six months, otherwise it would not have been possible to survive such a chaotic situation.

"No, I still have official duties to attend to."

Chen Ci smiled slightly and said: "In such a chaotic situation, the Xuanjing Division and the Tiance Army have the same responsibilities, and I cannot stay in Qingzhou for too long."

The implication is obvious, she also wants to leave Qingzhou.

"Row."

Xu Lan was puzzled.
Didn't you just agree to stay, but then you changed your mind just now?
"I hope we can meet again in Kyoto at the end of the year."

Xu Lan smiled and said: "It is estimated that the monster chaos in Dachu will be almost over by then."

"it is good."

Chen Ci nodded, turned around and left.

Looking at her leaving figure,

Xu Lan always felt that something was wrong but for a while he couldn't tell what was wrong.

"Women, how strange."

Xu Lan couldn't figure it out after thinking for a long time, and then he could only walk into the gate of Xu Mansion.

"Hey?"

Just when Xu Lan walked into Xu's house, she happened to meet Xu Zhou.

The two brothers suddenly stared at each other, you looked at me, I looked at you.

"Big brother?"

"Ok?"

"Big brother?!"

"what?"

"Brother is back?!"

Xu Zhou was suddenly excited and shouted at the top of his voice: "Father, mother, big brother is back!"

Xu Lan:.
No, as for that.

After a while, Xu Shanhe and Yan Yu appeared in front of them one after another.

When Xu Lan saw his parents safe and sound, the big stone in Xu Lan's heart finally fell.

"Just come back, just come back."

Yan Yu looked quite excited,
He walked around Xu Lan a few times and looked up and down: "Strange, why are you a little fatter?"

Xu Lan:.
Xu Shanhe on the side almost couldn't hold back his laughter,
what a joke,
Every day in the palace, there is no stopping eating delicacies from the mountains and seas. How can I not be fat?

"Am I still worried about being hungry in the palace?"

Xu Lan said casually,
As a result, Yan Yu was stunned and asked in confusion: "In the palace? Why are you in the palace?"

In an instant,
She seemed to remember something and her face suddenly became uncomfortable.

Shouldn't it be
"Xu Shanhe, you damn bastard who's been stabbed a thousand times!"

Suddenly Yan Yu couldn't help but started to curse loudly, which made Xu Shanhe and Xu Lan confused.

"Why are you scolding me?"

"You actually let your son purify himself and enter the palace just so that you can come back safely?!"

Yan Yu pretended to want to die with Xu Shanhe, but as soon as these words came out, Xu Shanhe and Xu Lan were completely silent.

"Dad, you didn't tell mother?"

The corner of Xu Lan's mouth twitched slightly,

It seems that Xu Shanhe did not tell Yan Yu about the matter, otherwise she would not have such strange thoughts.

"I thought it would be more convincing when you come back and explain it yourself."

Xu Shanhe also fell silent,
You really can't blame yourself for this.

No one would believe what happened to his son, so why not wait until he comes back to explain it himself?

Who knew that Yan Yu's mind would suddenly change.
　full HP resurrection!
