Cataclysm King.

Chapter 518 [Plum Blossom 10-Hermit]

Three thousand years ago, there was a guardian angel in the Talon Dynasty, who moved to the Eastern Wasteland with a "fire".

But for some reason, the high priest Nan Shenyu beheaded him in Innocence City. The body fragments were then divided into various places and used to seal the altars related to the moon **** Arachne.

At first, Ji Xun thought that Nan Shenyu's killing of the guardian angel was part of an internal struggle within the imperial power.

But now as more and more historical truths emerge, the facts are clear.

If it weren't for Nan Shenyu's seemingly iron-blooded skills, the card master civilization would have been destroyed long ago. Even if there are humans surviving in the Eastern Wasteland, there will probably only be some believers of foreign gods.

Moreover, Ji Xun had personally come into contact with the angel soul and angel body. He also learned from Nanjing that the truth behind the death of the Weeping Angel was not that simple.

Although Nan Shenyu killed the angel back then, he also gave him a chance to resurrect.

Those arrangements seemed to be the ritual of resurrection.

Ji Xun wasn't sure about this before.

But until now, seeing the strange image of the golden dragon **** Marodis who returned from the underworld in front of him, Ji Xun suddenly realized that he seemed to have glimpsed a top-level extraordinary mystery that he could not understand for the time being.

This sense of conflict between light and darkness is exactly the same as that of the Weeping Angels.

Most likely it's not a coincidence.

It is a commonality that can only be found after reaching a certain level.

Thinking of this, a bolder idea flashed through Ji Xun's mind for a moment: Could it be that Emperor Lanlingst was not unable to kill the Dragon God Marodis, but deliberately exiled him to the underworld for some purpose? of?

Since Nan Shenyu left the possibility of resurrection for the Weeping Angels, he must be aware of this conflict between light and darkness.

So the high priest lineage knew about it, but there was no reason that Lan Lingster, the founding emperor of the country, didn't know about it.

In other words, could it be that the emperor did it on purpose?

Moreover, Ji Xun also speculated that the polarity of light and darkness in angels may be related to the "lightless sun".

This forbidden technique is regarded as not to be spread by the Talon Empire. In addition to being an exclusive secret technique of the [10 of Hearts - Hero] sequence, there must be other reasons for being banned.

In the past few days, he has been wandering around the passages of the underworld, and his proficiency in this magical mysterious method has skyrocketed. Ji Xun has basically confirmed that it seems that two opposite elements are needed to truly get a glimpse of the secret deep in the mysterious method?

Ji Xun felt vaguely that he had grasped something, but his limited cognition prevented him from fully understanding it.

After contacting the stone tablet he saw in Moon Well before, Ji Xun thought more and more that it was possible.

From the appearance of the Light Chaser to the appearance of Old Man Xu who had participated in that battle, they all appeared here.

All signs indicate that before Emperor Lanlingst fell, he left behind some back-ups.

It seems that he predicted that the dragon **** Marodis would return from the underworld.

"However, if it was really the underworld that was deliberately exiled, why do you want Him to come back?"

Ji Xun didn't understand.

The causal lines in his mind were separated by hundreds of thousands of years, and many things were beyond the reach of people at his level.

The black dragon returning from the underworld at the end of his field of vision was getting closer and closer. Looking at it, Ji Xun suddenly felt dizzy.

At this moment, a faint warning suddenly came to my ears: "Boy, you haven't even figured out the mysteries of the elemental laws. You just want to get a glimpse of the secrets of the rules on the dead dragon. You are not afraid that you will not be able to bear the super recognition." The information is crazy.”

"???"

Ji Xun instantly felt as if he had woken up from a dream, and his thoughts suddenly became more active.

Turning around, he saw old man Xu looking into the distance with a serious face.

Qin Rushi and Peacock beside them also looked surprised, as if they had just woken up from a dream, obviously aware of something.

Except for the three of them, several revolutionary army cadres in Bonnie had already fainted.

Just the power of the dragon is no longer something that extraordinary people below the seventh level can bear.

Only then did Ji Xun realize the danger he had just faced.

Sure enough, the divine level is not so easy to look at.

Although I have seen the arrival of foreign gods several times before, they were basically the arrival of consciousness.

And in front of him was a genuine Dragon God.

Fortunately, I made the right choice and took an old-timer with me to avoid risks.

While surprised, Ji Xun looked at Old Man Xu and said in surprise: "Senior, has your memory recovered?"

"."

Old man Xu did not respond to this question.

But Ji Xun looked at his turbid eyes with a bright light, and already knew that this old man was a big man.

This also means that an eternal person who does not know how strong he is is serious!

Old Man Xu looked at the black dragon, his eyes seemed to see through all the mysteries and evils in the world, his lips moved slightly, and he murmured to himself: "That dead dragon has indeed broken through to the higher level of godhood."

Superior godhead?

When Ji Xun heard this, he remembered that Nan Shenyu gave him a popular science lesson in "Thousands of Armies Besieging the City". This is the division of strength and weakness in the divine order.

But he was not surprised by this. Instead, he thought about the word "sure enough" in the old man's mouth and his eyes suddenly widened.

This tone also means that Old Man Xu really knows that this dragon **** can come back from the underworld!

Ji Xun couldn't help but asked curiously: "Do you know that He can come back?"

As soon as the words came out of his mouth, Ji Xun suddenly stopped talking and suddenly thought that he shouldn't ask this.

After all, this realm of death involves the secret of the death of Emperor Lanlingst.

The emperor is dead. Since Old Man Xu knew about it, why didn't he die?

What's more, the old man Xu who got into a large size gave people a very strange feeling, and there was an indifferent look in his eyes.

Ji Xun didn't expect to get the answer either.

However, without thinking, Old Man Xu responded: "Yes."

Ji Xun heard his personal confirmation, and the thoughts in his heart suddenly burst out.

This also means that my previous conjecture may come true!

Before his chaotic thoughts could wander, Old Man Xu took the initiative to ask: "Do you want to ask, have I been here before?"

"."

Of course Ji Xun is curious!

But he didn't dare to respond to this question.

The cause and effect involved in this issue are too great. If any leakage is revealed, it may be a big secret that causes turmoil in the world.

He didn't respond, but Old Man Xu asked and answered himself: "Not only have I been here. I also witnessed Lanlingster's fall in this dead realm."

As soon as these words came out, not only Ji Xun, but also Qin Rushi and Peacock beside him were stunned.

It was like opening a history book that was hundreds of thousands of years old, and someone who had experienced it was narrating the epic that happened that year.

Old Man Xu's eyes flashed with some melancholy of reminiscence, but his tone remained calm: "I also saw this little girl's ancestor, the Grand Priest Nan, being unable to come over in time and using necromancy to reinforce him. Unfortunately, he was still defeated."

"."

Hearing this, Ji Xun, Qin Rushi and Peacock's expressions all froze, as if they could hear the sound of fighting and iron horses from this simple sentence.

The battle back then might have been more tragic than they imagined.

Old Man Xu continued: "I received Lanlingster's message and rushed over as quickly as possible. However, the situation was already decided by that time. He knew that he was bound to fall and did not let me intervene. I just looked at him like this. Besieged by dragons and eventually fell into the realm of death."

Those words were an understatement, but they set off a storm in the hearts of Ji Xun and the others.

Old Xu looks like a kind old man sitting by the fireplace telling stories to future generations. The endless years seem to have worn away all the waves in his heart.

Having said this, he asked calmly: "Do you know why Lanlingster didn't let me take action?"

Ji Xun responded in time: "Why?"

Old Man Xu said: "Because I am a "salary collector." The sequence inheritor of [Plum Blossom 10-Hermit]. I am the carrier of the inheritance of Card Master's civilization. I light up the dark bonfire before dawn, and I need to pick up the salary to maintain it. If I die too, no one will know what happened, and no one will know those secrets. The card master civilization will eventually cease to exist."

As soon as these words came out, Ji Xun's mind seemed to be full of thoughts, and his thinking became stiff.

The amount of information is too huge.

[Club 10-Hermit] I have been looking for this sequence this season, but I have never seen a card master who uses this sequence.

I heard that this sequence is to practice escaping from the world, and it is normal to not see talents.

Even in ancient classics, there are very few records.

Only occasionally in turbulent times, some disciples of the hermit would appear and stir up troubles.

Only sporadic stories about this sequence have been circulated.

But after Ji Xun was slightly surprised, it wasn't too surprising.

After all, there are not many characteristics of Old Man Xu that match his extraordinary sequence. This [Hermit] was also one of the previous guesses.

But after hearing the obviously pointed title of "Salary Picker", Ji Xun couldn't help but asked curiously: "Are you a member of the Illuminati Hermitage?"

"right."

Old Man Xu did not deny it: "I was born earlier than Lanlingster. I was also one of the founders of the original Hermitage."

"."

Ji Xun's eyes twitched: One of the founders!

After getting this result, it seemed that all of a sudden, many ideas became clear. He had thought it was strange before. According to Jia Yu, the Illuminati Hermitage was eradicated. Even the "Light Chaser" inheritance of Donghuang has been passed down for generations. They knew almost nothing about the Talon Dynasty before, and most of the inheritance they received came from some historical documents, and the [Forbidden Ruins Stone Tablet].

Ji Xun was thinking, is this kind of organization really passed down by luck?

Now it seems that there was still manual intervention.

The person who inherited it was Old Man Xu.

There is such a hermit who has been living in the shadow of history. His inheritance seems to have been discontinued, but it has never been discontinued.

Those secrets have been passed down from generation to generation under specific guidance.

The existence of Old Man Xu, the immortal, completes the most secretive link in the logic of countless events in history.

Those major historical events that were intervened by the "Illuminati Hermitage" can all be explained.

It turns out that there are always people around.

This vision seems to fit the reason why the old man wanted to assassinate the Mad King in "A Thousand Army Siege".

"I see."

Ji Xun suddenly became enlightened.

He looked at Old Man Xu next to him, and the respect in his heart had risen to the highest level.

A wise man who has lived for countless years and has experienced history must also be an indescribable strong man.

God level?

To be able to live for such a long time is not to say that he is at the divine level.

How do you know this person after knowing him for such a long time?

Ji Xun had a very strange feeling.

Excited and full of anticipation.

Old Man Xu's words made him feel for the first time that the divine order was different from what he thought.

Without being superior, he is just an old man entering the world.

Occasionally a bit wretched, greedy for life and afraid of death

But having said that, could this be the cultivation method of the [Hermit] sequence?

For a moment, Ji Xun suddenly understood, but countless doubts emerged in his heart.

If he could ask, he really wanted to drag this "living history book" with him and ask him about the truth of history.

But now is not the time.

Ji Xun didn't look at the dragon **** who had returned from the underworld, but the power of the dragon still made his soul tremble.

But it seemed that the sense of crisis disappeared instantly.

With such an old-timer by my side, it seems as if all the difficulties before me are no longer a problem.

However, before he could rejoice, Old Man Xu seemed to have guessed what he was thinking, and immediately poured a basin of cold water on him and said: "But don't expect me to take you out. I really can't die for some reasons. But you are in this passage to the underworld. If you stay here for seven days, you will definitely die."

Ji Xun's eyes twitched inexplicably when he heard this: Are you serious?

Old Man Xu's expression suddenly showed a hint of familiar vulgarity, and he said seriously: "Moreover, this is just a conscious clone of me, with incomplete memory and no fighting ability. Even your kid can't beat you. Don't expect me to be able to do that." Can beat that 'dead dragon'."

"."

Upon hearing this, Ji Xun immediately felt a sense of crisis suddenly hit his heart.

He didn't suspect that Old Man Xu was joking.

What this person said was very clear: if you want to survive, you can only rely on yourself.

Ji Xun glanced at Qin Rushi beside him, looking at each other solemnly.

Before Old Man Xu went to the big room, Ji Xun did hold on to a glimmer of hope. Even if he couldn't follow the Dragon God Marodis, he might be able to follow this old man.

Now when I hear it, what, it turns out that you are a clone?

Ji Xun himself has a clone who is still studying at the Royal Academy, so of course he understands.

In the current situation, if Old Man Xu had a way to get out, he would definitely not ignore it.

In other words, you can only rely on yourself.

Ji Xun thought for a while, and the probability of surviving on his own was probably only one in a million.

Not giving up, he hinted: "Senior, is Emperor Lanlingster also a [JOKER] sequence?"

I originally wanted to say that I was also a JOKER, so appearing here might not be a coincidence, implying that the emperor might have some tricks up his sleeve.

However, before he finished speaking, Old Man Xu poured cold water on him again: "I only remembered part of the memory. Don't expect me to know everything."

As he said that, he looked at Ji Xun, regained his previous expression of wanting to be beaten, and said something that seemed to have profound meaning: "Also, if you die, it means you don't have enough life. It has nothing to do with the sequence."

"."

Ji Xun rolled his eyes slightly as he listened.

He didn't give up yet, so he tried to ask again: "Um, can I ask? Did you see anything on the Forbidden Ruins stone tablet in the Moon Well?"

He thought that if the emperor had left any back-up plan, the stone tablet might be a possible place.

But he was disappointed again.

Old Man Xu said calmly: "It's nothing. It just awakened the memory that had been dusted for too long. My brain couldn't accept it all of a sudden, so I fell into a coma. I did remember some things, but it has nothing to do with whether I can keep your kid alive. "

"."

At this point, Ji Xun completely gave up.

But when she glanced at Qin Rushi beside her, she showed an expression of indifference.

It seems to be saying that even if we really want to go to the underworld together, it doesn't matter.

"It seems we can only wait and see if the other two sects can give us any surprises."

Ji Xun's thoughts were racing and he only thought of this possibility.

Reality didn't give him a chance to think too much.

The golden dragon **** Marodis, whom Old Man Xu called the "Dead Dragon", had descended into the Sun Temple and sat on the throne.

In the audience, Saint Sophia knelt on the ground respectfully: "Welcome to the return of Lord Dragon God!"

However, this black dragon seemed not used to the bright light of the [Sun Disk] now. He raised his hand and the light on the roulette wheel dimmed.

On Ji Xun's side, the burning sensation also disappeared.

However, before the Dragon God could sit down, hundreds of figures somehow broke through the temple's barrier and suddenly rushed in.

At the same time, Ji Xun felt a familiar spatial fluctuation and thought to himself: "Did the guys from the Holy See use that 'coffin' again?"

In the blink of an eye, three waves of people stood on their side and faced each other.

The followers of the Sun Sect headed by Gustav; the seven or eight cloaked vampires headed by "Xie Guozhong"; and the most numerous are the masters of the Holy See headed by three red archbishops.

The three parties were at war with each other, and their murderous intentions were as cold as the cold wind, which actually made people feel the chill under the scorching sun.

It seems that now is the time for excitement.

Ji Xun glanced at the people of the Holy See and muttered in his heart, "There are so many masters."

The three red archbishops are all ninth level, and the hundreds of ascetic monks and holy dragon knights behind them are also the best among the best.

The aura emanating from each one made Ji Xun feel no weaker than himself.

He had also seen so many top-level card masters at one time, and he was secretly surprised.

Not enough. Ji Xun didn't think these guys could deal with that dead dragon.

His eyes glanced at "Xie Guozhong".

He didn't know why, but he always felt that his old friend was hidden very deep.

The dragon **** Marodis on the throne didn't look at the three red archbishops at all.

Of course he also discovered that the space was blocked, but he said to himself nonchalantly: "Mirror space? I haven't seen this place for a long time. That guy in Lanlingst is dead, has Ariel got the coffin?" "

As he spoke, the dragon's face was filled with a ferocious twist of hatred.

After hundreds of thousands of years, I finally made myself come back!

He never wanted to kill the despicable guy who attacked him back then.

But before the dragon god's arrogance could last for a moment, the three red archbishops shouted decisively: "Do it!"

In an instant, hundreds of dragon-born card masters in the sky all transformed into giant dragon forms, and the scene was extremely spectacular.

A huge nine-pointed star formation was formed in the battle formation.

It seemed that he had been prepared for a long time and was ready to surround and kill the Dragon God.

It was also Ji Xun's first time to see such an exaggerated legion battle formation. The moment the nine-pointed star lit up, the auras of the masters from the Holy See merged into one, forming a demonic shadow.

"Dragon-slaying warrior, demon **** Achilles?"

Ji Xun was extremely surprised when he looked at the phantom of the demon god. Isn't this the demon **** pointed to by the [10 of Hearts - Hero] sequence?

Other card masters can just use it, so how come the Dragonborn of the Holy Holy See also borrows the power of the Demon God?

Not only was Ji Xun unexpected, but the scale fire in the eyes of the black dragon on the throne was also full of sarcasm: "'Legion battle formation of dragon-slaying warriors'? That despicable guy Ariel didn't dare to show his face, and he actually used human battle formations. It’s really a shame for the Dragon Clan.”

However, just when everyone's attention was on the legion war, in the shadow behind the throne, at some point, a red sword slowly thrust out of the void.

If Ji Xun were here, he would definitely recognize this as the god-killing demon sword [Tierfeng] that he once gave to Xie Guozhong!
