Chapter 158: Execute half the people
Half an hour later.
Wen Qingxue captured a two-meter-long dog-shaped ferocious beast, skinned and deboned it, divided it into small pieces, and cleaned it one by one.
When Jiang Heng came back with a bag of daily necessities purchased thousands of miles away, the two went to a nearby mountain, found an open space, set up a fire and started to barbecue.
Night is gradually falling.
The two sat side by side in front of the fire, eating barbecue and drinking wine, laughing and talking.
Suddenly, Wen Qingxue sighed quietly.
“Another two years have passed.”
"Yes! Before you know it, you are seventeen years old and I am twenty years old."
Jiang Heng took a big sip of wine.
Wen Qingxue rolled her eyes at him, her eyes filled with sparkling water.
The original cardamom girl has now acquired a charming aura.
But her eyes suddenly became lost again, and she murmured: "I want to go home."
Jiang Heng glanced at her and said decisively: "Don't worry, we can go home!"
He naturally knew that the home Wen Qingxue mentioned was not the Daluo Sect's home.
Instead, the home of Aquablue Star.
He recalled the many paintings Wen Qingxue had painted for him.
The secrets in those paintings are actually not complicated. They just use clouds or various other objects to barely outline the text shapes of the azure star in the previous life.
When his eyes jumped out of the details in the painting and glanced at the picture, he immediately extracted all the written content in his mind.
From that time on, he knew that Wen Qingxue, like him, was a soul traveler from Aqua Blue Star.
And, in the following time, Wen Qingxue slowly told him about Xiao Lingyun's existence through landscape painting.
As for the purpose, it is not only to find a sense of belonging in a different world, but also to seek his help and solve the potential threat of Xiao Lingyun.
Before the fire.
Wen Qingxue's eyes regained their brightness.
She smiled softly, her eyes narrowed into crescent moons, and her smile was sweet and pleasant.
"I trust you!"
“We still have a long way to go, but as long as the two of us work together, we will be able to overcome all obstacles.”
“Everywhere I go is a smooth road!”
Jiang Heng glanced at her, then at the green mountains and green waters in the distance, and finally looked at the sky and said loudly.
"cheers!"
Two small wine jars collided gently, and a few drops of wine quietly spilled from the mouth of the jar.
The two of them took a sip of drinks, and their depression disappeared.
Until late at night, the two of them put out the fire and cleaned up the traces before returning to the cave and continuing to practice.
The two of them seemed to have completely forgotten the passage of time in the outside world, and were immersed in cultivation as if they were isolated from the world.
During this period, Jiang Heng used the system to develop the soul defense secret method [Soul Suppression Tower] to the super **** level in one fell swoop, and taught it to Wen Qingxue.
In his mind, Xiao Lingyun's soul fragment could not detect Wen Qingxue's deliberately hidden thoughts, but her actions finally revealed her defensiveness.
But Xiao Lingyun didn't say anything after all.
Just watching quietly, a simple and mysterious tower gradually built up in Wen Qingxue's mind, tightly wrapping the core of her soul within it.
It’s another year later.
Two years later.
Three years later…
Jiang Heng and the two still have no intention of leaving the mountain.
But Taisui Mansion finally couldn't sit still.
In the palace lord’s residence.
“Trash! They’re all trash!”
The palace master was furious and roared at the envoy Sun in front of him.
“Five years! Five years have passed, and there is still no trace of the two of them!”
“Immediately arrange for all the powerful men above the Xuanzang realm to conduct a carpet search throughout the Taisu Realm!”
"Since there are no traces of them in places where there are people, the focus should be on uninhabited mountainous areas, snowfields, deserts, etc. No area can be spared. Use your soul perception to explore it inch by inch!"
Sun Shangshi took a breath of cold air.
The entire Tai Sui world?
That’s hundreds of billions of square kilometers!
Even if it is just an uninhabited mountainous area or wilderness, it covers at least nearly half of the area. If you want to carry out a carpet search bit by bit through the soul induction of more than a thousand powerful men above the Xuanzang realm, that kind of workload is so difficult. The time required is completely immeasurable.
Not to mention, most of the powerful ones among them are not familiar with the soul fluctuations of Jiang Heng and the two of them. When scanning human soul fluctuations in the wild, they need to see them one by one to be sure.
Besides, if so many strong men are really arranged to search, all the holy places will almost come to a standstill without strong men in charge.
The master of the palace glanced at Sun Shangshi and said coldly:
"I don't care how much work it takes, and I don't care what troubles the major holy places will face after the strong men are transferred away. These are not important."
“With Tai Sui Mansion’s strength, even if all nine holy places are destroyed, they can still be rebuilt in a short period of time.”
“But once the mysterious strong man’s soul recovers, we are likely to lose control of the Taisu Realm, and I don’t want to attract the government’s personal action.”
“So, we must find traces of Wen Qingxue within five years!”
Sun Shangshi's breathing was stagnant, as if a thousand kilograms of weight had been lifted from his heart instantly, making him almost breathless.
Faced with the palace master’s order to die, he could only obey.
“Yes! Palace Master!”
He did not ask what the reward for success was, that was what he should do.
He didn't even ask what the punishment for failure was, because he knew very well that when the palace master showed such a resolute attitude, he would be dead if he failed to complete the task!
After turning around and leaving the palace owner's house.
Sun Shangshi immediately arranged for people to set off and go to notify all holy places. Except for one elder who stayed behind, all powerful men above the Xuanzang realm must go to Tianzhu Mountain within two days. Anyone who disobeys the order will die!
As soon as this order came out, the Nine Holy Lands were a little confused.
In the nearly 10,000-year history of the Nine Holy Lands, this is definitely the first time such a high-profile order has been issued. However, no Holy Land dares to hesitate and immediately recall all the elders who are performing various tasks outside.
The next day, they all set off to Tianzhu Mountain.
Sun Shangshi stood in the middle of the square with a solemn face, waiting quietly.
Elders and holy masters from major holy places arrived one after another.
Gradually, more than a thousand powerful men with majestic auras stood quietly in front of Ambassador Sun.
“It seems that the Nine Holy Lands have arrived.”
"Nine Holy Lords, you will hand over the list to me later. Except for one elder who is staying in the Holy Land, anyone else who is absent will be treated as a traitor."
More than a thousand people in the square suddenly felt the chill in their hearts and the seriousness of the matter, and everyone remained silent.
“For five years, the Lord of the Palace personally issued the most wanted warrant to search for the whereabouts of the two people, but until now, there is still no useful clue.”
“Now, the master of the palace has issued an ultimatum.”
“Give us another five years to find Jiang Heng’s traces, otherwise, I will not end well.”
Sun Shangshi looked calm, but his whole body showed an astonishing murderous aura, and he said gloomily:
“And before that, I will personally execute half of the people present.”
As soon as these words came out, everyone took a breath of cold air.
