Chapter 126 The Assassins Who Were Not Eliminated
The Jianmu tree, having been tainted by dragon energy, transformed into the appearance of a dragon.
This reminded Yun Zhi of a tree that, before he destroyed the Pill Cauldron Division, also resembled a dragon.
...Don't tell him that it was because some dragon lord slept in the tree and caused the tree to be covered in dragon energy.
So, is that proof of death of which Dragon Lord?
Don't think about it too much.
"The Jianmu Mystic Roots... to be honest, they have a certain charm about them." Yun Zhi examined the root system from top to bottom for a while before continuing, "It also shows that the Wisdom Dragon Lord has never relaxed his guard over this place all these years."
That's something they did very well.
Being a Dragon Lord isn't easy.
If only the people below could be more normal.
Those lunatics, including Long Shi, should have been dealt with long ago.
"Lan, if we shoot an arrow at Xuangen from here, won't Jianmu be completely finished off?"
Yun turned to look at Lan.
Then he was taken aback.
Lan's expression... is so heavy.
Whenever Lan sees Jianmu, her thoughts involuntarily drift to those long-buried memories.
Not only are there memories of when I was a human "Emperor Bow", but also some bizarre and elusive shadows that linger in my mind.
Although they were just blurry phantoms, Lan knew that they were not her own memories.
—Those are the memories of my comrades who fought alongside me.
Those strange memories rarely appear, but whenever Lan recalls the past, they flutter before her eyes.
Sharing drinks and laughter, fighting side-by-side with Suiyang...
"The past has shaped the present, and it will shape the future."
Lan suddenly murmured, "Even a star god can hardly escape the shadow of the past."
Yunzhi: ?
"Why are you suddenly talking so seriously?"
"These are my thoughts."
Lan shrugged and took a few steps forward: "Those guards from before... are there any records of them now?"
"...Although I asked Shence to investigate, I can't hold out much hope."
Putting aside the fact that Lan and he were both prisoners at that time, those guards, although they were His confidants, were ultimately just nameless soldiers whose names were hardly recorded. Even if there were any records in the history books, they would probably just be mentioned briefly as "Imperial Bow Guards".
...Some people, though essential cornerstones, fail to leave their mark on their own history books.
Is this tragic or fortunate?
At least, he's not involved in good things or bad things.
However, those guards have been with them for so many years—
"Never mind if you can't find it."
Lan decisively chose to give up: "At least we still remember them."
Yun Zhi smiled: "Yes... I haven't completely forgotten."
"—So, Arashi, did you feel it?"
The veins on Yunzhi's head bulged: "This generation of Six Emperors is no good. I've already said that we need to thoroughly investigate the situation of Chiming. If we find anyone colluding with foreign enemies, kill them on the spot."
Does he really have to say "better to kill the innocent than let the guilty go free" for the Six Emperors to improve their efficiency?
Lan sighed.
Jin Tong turned slightly to look behind him.
What are those things floating around behind me?
The Abundant Wicked Being, needless to say, Lan felt a bit of a headache—the Abundant Wicked Being, who used the Cloud Chanting Technique to hide his whereabouts, wasn't that clearly telling everyone that Chiming was no longer pretending, that he was coming clean, and that he was colluding with the Medicine King's secret teachings!
As Lan and Yun walked along, those monstrous creatures probably sensed the danger and dared not make a move, keeping their distance—but no matter how far away they were, it was useless, as the stench of the monstrous creatures could be smelled even across three caves.
"It's none of our business, and we wouldn't dare to be involved," Lan said nonchalantly. "Is anyone coming today?"
"Danheng, and Bailu."
Yun frowned, then turned around gracefully and headed straight for the creature without looking back: "I'll take care of it, General."
"Go."
Lan continued to look at Jianmu Xuangen, reminiscing about the past.
Behind me, the whistling of arrows, the piercing sound of a heavy longbow being swung through the air, and the agonizing screams of a monstrous creature...
Lan rubbed her ears.
The smell of the excrement is too strong, it's making me feel a bit hot and bothered.
—The mystical root is right in front of us, why don't we shoot an arrow now?
Just as he was thinking this, the starlight in his hand transformed into the longbow "Xuanyuan".
Aiming at the Jianmu Xuangen opposite him, Lan drew back the bowstring. The wind howled and gathered on the bowstring, and a sharp arrow appeared.
Lan heard screams coming from the monstrous creature behind her, as if it was trying to stop her.
Then, another unusually heavy thud was heard.
It sounded a bit like the sound of Yun Zhiwu's heavy bow smashing directly onto the head of the monstrous creature.
"Who do you think you are to dare yell at the General?"
The sound also reached my ears.
Lan couldn't help but smile slightly, and gently plucked the bowstring with her fingers.
This feels so familiar...
It seems like a long time ago, when his arrows were aimed at the enemy's commander, his lieutenant behind him did the same, driving away all dangers around Him who was still human.
Released, the arrow, having suppressed most of its power, flew out suddenly, emitting a series of shrill sounds in the air.
Impartial and to the point, hitting the target precisely.
The dragon-shaped root system seemed to let out a mournful cry, and a fierce wind arose all around.
Ignoring the scattered debris that had been blown away, Yun Zhi immediately rushed behind Lan, opened a barrier with his hand, and blocked the sharp wind and some of the broken Jianmu wood fragments.
Also, protect those bright eggs.
It's not that he's a saint; we can't say for sure what's going on with those people inside the eggs yet. Let them stay; we can't reduce the number of working people.
The disappearance of a miracle is inevitably accompanied by earthquakes and tremors.
Let alone the Scale Abyss Realm.
Even Jing Yuan, who had just returned to the Shence Mansion after dealing with everything in the Youju Prison and was in a state of frantic trouble, sensed this unusual upheaval.
—I need to get someone to investigate right away.
The cat is exhausted.
Lan intervened and saved the Wisdom Egg.
—Since the deputy general is working so hard, of course I should help him out.
Therefore, the eggs of the Vidyadactylus were well protected.
Yun withdrew the barrier and looked into the distance with Lan:
As Lan thought, the mysterious root of the Jianmu tree had already turned into powder and disappeared without a trace.
Meanwhile, at the entrance to the Lin Yuan Realm's grotto-heaven...
The little green dragon and the little purple dragon looked at each other in bewilderment.
—No...where's the tree?
