I heard that the emperor had a cub

Chapter 15

"You came just in time, and I was going to find you too."

After Chang Qing left, only Xuan Zhao and Zhao Li were left in the hall, Xuan Zhao waved his sleeves to signal Zhao Li to sit down, then poured tea for each other: "But first tell me the purpose of your coming to me this time. "

After hearing this, Zhao Li hesitated for a moment, shook his head and said, "It's nothing, it's okay to find another way to solve this matter."

Seeing his reaction, Xuan Zhao probably guessed what would happen.

Because just now, before Changqing left Xingji Palace, Zhaoli told Zhaoli that Xuanzhao was too tired recently, so if Zhaoli had something too dangerous and exhausting, try not to let Xuanzhao come forward.

Zhao Li obviously hesitated because of Chang Qing's words.

Xuan Zhao asked, "What's the matter?"

Zhaoli was still hesitating whether he should answer, but Xuan Zhao calmly reminded him: "I am the head of the emperors of the three realms, if I don't even have the right to know the problem, is this emperor too useless? Or do you think Want to usurp power?"

Zhao Li was stunned for a moment, and immediately shook his head: "I didn't mean that."

The honest Zhaoli couldn't cope with this kind of situation at all, what Xuanzhao and Changqing said made sense, he suddenly felt helpless, and finally told the whole story.

Zhaoli came to Xuanzhao this time because of the monster on the top of the Ten Thousand Ridges.

It is said that the top of the Ten Thousand Ridges was abandoned in a great war tens of thousands of years ago, and no one lived in it. However, for some reason, many strange monsters appeared there recently. They do not know how they escaped the immortals. The line of sight has now developed a force that is not weak, and it may be difficult to wipe it out.

Because of this, Zhaoli thought of asking Xuanzhao for help.

Among the four emperors, Zhaoli and Yunping are not the ones who are good at fighting. You Hao is more than capable in fighting, but his mind is not so good at tactics. Lead away to far away places.

The one with the strongest combat ability is of course Xuan Zhao, not to mention ranking among the four emperors, even in the entire God Realm, there is no one who can be Xuan Zhao's opponent.

When Zhaoli encountered this kind of thing, he found Xingji Hall almost out of habit.

But after arriving here, he remembered that Xuan Zhao's current situation was not so suitable for playing.

Zhaoli hesitated to speak, and after he finished speaking, he shifted his gaze to Xuanzhao, and asked in a low voice: "I heard that Changqing Zhenshen said that your health is not good, is there any discomfort? Actually, I planned to go to Xuanzhao. I have been here to take care of you for a few days, but there have been too many evil spirits recently, and many mountain gods are asking me for help, so I really can't get out."

Xuan Zhao didn't know how to respond to his simple concern.

Unlike Yun Ping, You Hao and others, Zhao Li is upright and upright, no matter what he says, he is always extremely sincere, making it impossible for people to ignore his kindness.

But Xuan Zhao really couldn't get used to being cared about like this, he paused for a while before saying, "It's not as serious as you think, it's just a small problem."

Up to now, it seems that everyone is concerned about him and the fairy fetus in his soul. Xuanzhao has an inexplicable feeling, as if the fairy fetus that resides in his soul has become the property of these few people. Everyone is scrambling to be cared for.

He sighed in his heart, rubbed his forehead and said, "It's time for me to ask you."

Not wanting to waste time on unnecessary things, Xuan Zhao asked directly: "Did you see me in the illusion of the ancient fairyland?"

Zhao Li nodded.

Xuan Zhao continued: "The illusion you are in should be a certain period of time in the past, and then in that illusion, you find that everything around you is false, but only my existence is different from the past memories, So you think my existence is real, right?"

To prevent wasting time, Xuan Zhao directly stated the conclusions drawn from other people.

After hearing this sentence, Zhao Li was stunned for a moment, unable to say anything he wanted to say, only surprised and puzzled: "How do you know?"

Sure enough.

This is no longer a problem that can be explained by coincidence. Why is he the only one in that illusion? This is related to quite a lot of problems.

Is there any inevitable connection between the ancient fairy world and him?

Xuan Zhao couldn't figure it out for a while, but it made him want to find out the truth more and more.

But thinking of this, Xuan Zhao turned his gaze to Zhaoli again: "When you came out of the ancient fairyland maze that day, you seemed to be hiding something, can you tell me?"

From the back mirror, Xuan Zhao had clearly seen what Zhaoli was hiding under his clothes, and he was worried about being discovered nervously.

He asked this matter, but Zhao Li was stunned for a moment, his expression changed for a long time, but he couldn't answer immediately.

After a while, he managed to force a smile, shook his head and pretended nothing had happened, and said, "That's not the case, Xuanzhao, did you remember correctly?"

If it was Yun Ping in front of Xuanzhao at this moment, he would never lie so full of loopholes, he is used to being upright, and now when he is lying, he can be seen at a glance.

But Xuan Zhao stared at him, but did not take the initiative to expose his lies.

Since Zhao Li would lie against his heart, it meant that the truth of the matter was very important to him. If he continued to ask at this time, not only might he not be able to get an answer, but it would also be a kind of persecution for Zhao Li.

What he hopes more is to get a real answer from the other party.

Xuan Zhao nodded and said, "Maybe I remember wrongly."

His giving up surprised Zhaoli: "Xuan Zhao, you..."

Xuan Zhao: "Then let's talk about how to solve the matter at the top of the Ten Thousand Ridges now."

Zhaoli immediately stood up and objected: "No, Changqing Zhenshen just told you that you are not in good health, so don't worry about these things. I'll find other people to help solve it."

Coincidentally, the moment he finished speaking, the jade pendant around his waist suddenly shone brightly.

Zhaoli's voice suddenly paused, his face changed slightly, he picked up the jade pendant, and then heard the voice of a certain mountain god from the other end: "Dijun! Things are not going well, the fifteen people we sent to the top of the ten thousand mountains to investigate All the immortals are missing, and many fairy spirits at the bottom of the mountain have also been attacked. From a distance, there have been several demonic vortexes on the top of the mountain. If this continues, things will probably be difficult to control!"

Hearing the voice from Chuanshengyu's end, Zhaoli's expression became more solemn.

After giving those first few sentences, and then cutting off the call, Zhao Li quickly said to Xuan Zhao: "I'll go to the top of the Ten Thousand Ridges to check first, Xuan Zhao, you have a good rest, I will do these things myself..."

"You want to say that it is enough for you to deal with it yourself?" Xuan Zhao interrupted him rationally and calmly, "Not enough, although it is your duty to be in charge of the mountains, but the evil spirit permeating the top of the mountains is no longer just a part of Your problem, they can form such a scale of evil spirit in the fairy world, this is not something you can deal with alone."

Speaking of this, Xuan Zhao pinched the magic formula, and several beams of light flew out from between his eyebrows in an instant, and went towards the four directions respectively.

Seeing this, Zhao Li hesitated and said, "Do we need so many people to come forward for this matter?"

Xuan Zhao: "This matter is by no means simple. I suspect that there are bigger matters involved in it. We must proceed with caution."

After saying this, Xuan Zhao then rushed to the top of the Ten Thousand Ridges.

Zhaoli still insisted on blocking him: "Wait! Since so many people have already gone, you don't have to go anymore, otherwise how can I explain to Changqing Zhenshen!"

Xuan Zhao: "..."

He was a little helpless when he heard this: "Is Changqing my master or my father, why do you explain to him for me?"

Only then did Zhaoli realize that because the relationship between Xuan Zhao and Changqing was too close, he took it for granted that he should confess to the True God of Changqing.

But even if he realized this, Zhao Li didn't intend to let him go, he himself felt that Xuan Zhao needed to recuperate at this moment.

Seeing his insistence, Xuanzhao finally gave in and said, "I just want to know the situation there, that's all right, I'll just go and have a look, if it's not necessary, I'll never make a move, is that okay?"

Zhao Li was still worried, and asked Xuan Zhao to promise not to do anything, so he reluctantly agreed to his request.

The two quickly rushed towards the top of the Ten Thousand Ridges.

When they came to the top of the mountain, dozens of immortals and generals were already waiting there. They used their divine power to open a huge barrier in advance, enclosing half of the mountain top.

After Xuanzhao and others arrived, these gods immediately explained the general situation to them, saying that Emperor Yunping had arrived ahead of time and was fighting the evil spirits in the barrier at the moment, but because the evil fog was too thick, they temporarily Can't see the battle clearly.

However, judging from the number of enemies, even Emperor Yunping might not have much advantage.

What's more, the most important thing is that in the mountains, the enemy does not know when they have set up countless formation traps, and it would be quite dangerous to enter them rashly.

The enemy's ability is not bad, this is definitely not an opponent that you will encounter normally.

It seems that this is a long-prepared battle against the God Realm by the enemies hiding in the dark.

Xuan Zhao was thinking in his heart, and was about to step forward to see the general situation in the barrier, but Zhao Li had already reached out to stop him: "Xuan Zhao, don't forget the conditions you promised me earlier."

Xuan Zhao: "..."

As the god with the most combat experience in the God Realm, Xuan Zhao never thought that there would be a day when he would be protected behind others.

But since he agreed to the other party, Xuan Zhao didn't think about breaking his promise, so he took half a step back, nodded and said, "I understand, I just want to see the battle situation."

"If you get too close, you may be accidentally injured. You should go to a safe place over there first." Zhao Li said this, looking down with a tense face, probably noticing that the battle situation was wrong, he continued: " I will go to help first, and those who stay will protect Emperor Xuanzhao for me!"

After he finished speaking, the person rushed down quickly, broke through the enchantment barrier in a short time, and disappeared into the thick fog.

At the same time, Xuan Zhao silently came to the open space behind the crowd.

Beside him, the other generals looked at each other in blank dismay. Facing the cold and serious Emperor Xuanzhao who was full of coercion, no one dared to speak.

They even suspected that they had misheard just now.

What did Emperor Zhaoli say?Let them protect the emperor?

This Emperor Xuanzhao, who is the most capable fighter in the entire God Realm, once chased and fought the Maharaja of the Demon Realm for more than 40 days, and finally made the other party cry and beg for mercy, does it look like he needs their protection?

It was obviously a very tense atmosphere, but now it has become...

It seemed to become more tense.

But at this time, someone rushed over again, which relieved the generals present.

The God of War Wen Yu who rushed over was the most capable fighter beside Emperor Xuanzhao, and the battle-crazed God of War, Wen Yu was always the one who came the fastest almost whenever he heard that there was a fight going on.

After he arrived, he quickly asked the others about the situation, and was about to turn around and go down to fight, when suddenly he seemed to catch a glimpse of something in the crowd, so he stopped unexpectedly: "Huh? Xuan Zhao? Why are you here? ?”

Xuan Zhao didn't really want to deal with Wen Yu at the moment, but he still said, "I'm here to understand the situation here."

Wen Yu shook his head: "No, I mean why are you still up there, shouldn't you be down there to catch the evil spirits who are making trouble?"

Xuanzhao didn't want to explain his physical problem, and letting too many people know would cause a lot of trouble, so he could only say: "I'll take a look here, maybe I don't need to take action."

Wen Yu suddenly laughed: "Of course it's not necessary, because I can solve the battle quickly!"

After he said this, his whole body turned into a sharp wind and quickly entered the barrier.

Looking at the god of war who was coming and going like the wind, Xuan Zhao didn't react at all. He was used to this man's enthusiasm for fighting. If he didn't understand clearly, he would rush in without thinking, which was indeed something he would do.

Fortunately, there are still Yunping and Zhaoli on the battlefield.

Yun Ping would come so fast, Xuan Zhao probably could have imagined, because this top of ten thousand mountains was originally the place where Yun Ping lived when he was a child, and he left this place only because his family was ruined.

Now that there is a problem here, he is of course more anxious than anyone else.

I just hope that he won't be caught by the enemy because of being too impatient, or lose his correct judgment.

Xuan Zhao patiently waited for the development of the battle situation, because he notified several emperors before departure, so Xuan Zhao didn't wait long, and saw You Hao rushing over. You Hao was quite active this time, because he followed Xuanzhao found that he had done too little, and compared to Xuanzhao, he seemed to be idle, so he rushed towards the battlefield without even having time to say a few words to Xuanzhao.

This kind of formation is really rare. The four great emperors of the entire God Realm gathered together, and even the god of war, Wen Yu, also rushed to the scene.

From the perspective of the surrounding gods, under such a scene, there is probably no problem that cannot be solved.

The fact is indeed so, after Wen Yu rushed to the battlefield, the evil spirits in the mountain had already retreated, and when You Hao joined the battle, the opponent basically had no strength left to fight back.

Xuanzhao roughly observed the situation of the battle, and judged that there was indeed no need for him to take action in this battle.

However, he still finds it strange that this group of demons have been hiding on the top of the Ten Thousand Ridges for such a long time, why did they attack at such a time?

And they obviously have no chance of winning. Will they really expend so much energy and do such an ill-considered thing?

Xuanzhao was silently thinking about the enemy's possible purpose, but at this time there was a loud noise from below, flames and black smoke followed one after another, Xuanzhao saw that Wen Yu was fighting vigorously, and couldn't resist the movement Make it too big.

Enemies have already started fleeing in all directions, but not long after they escaped, a golden light rushed forward and chased after them.

Xuan Zhao judged from the other party's aura that it was Yun Ping who was chasing after him.

It seems that the top of the Ten Thousand Ridges is really extraordinary to him. If it was normal, the suspicious Yunping would never rush after him. The only person who would do such a mindless thing would be Wen Yu.

Just when Xuanzhao thought so, he heard loud and arrogant laughter from the air, and then Wen Yu's figure also chased after him.

Xuan Zhao: "..."

Sure enough, Wen Yu will never disappoint in this regard.

Then the work of cleaning up the battlefield should probably only be done by You Hao. Although he promised not to do it, it should still be possible to take care of the logistics for them.

Xuan Zhao turned around and said to the others: "Get ready to clean up the battlefield, send the injured to treatment as soon as possible, and send the captured demons to the Temple of Demon Suppression first, if you find anything else in this mountain, please tell me immediately. "

"Yes!"

After listening to Xuan Zhao's order, everyone acted immediately.

Usually this kind of finishing work is done by Yunping. This person doesn't like fighting, so he pays more attention to things outside the battlefield.

But it is a pity that today's Yunping is particularly impatient because he is involved in the top of the Ten Thousand Ridges, and has no time to take care of other things around him, so this kind of thing falls on Xuanzhao.

The gods and immortals are orderly taking care of the battlefield, You Hao is still fighting the group of evil spirits who persisted the longest, and Wen Yu and Yun Ping who went to chase the enemy have not yet returned, Xuan Zhao listened to God In return, he suddenly noticed two immortals carrying a certain statue in the corner.

The statue is a statue of a god as tall as a person, and it should be engraved with the gods of the ancient fairy world, dignified and solemn, with handsome eyebrows and eyes.But because the age is too long, and most of the materials in the ancient fairy world were destroyed in ancient times and catastrophes, so few people know the identity of the god on the statue.

Xuan Zhao didn't know either, but he had seen this statue before.

He frowned and asked, "Why is this idol here?"

If he remembered correctly, this statue should be stored in the Tianguang Pavilion at the center of the God Realm, together with many important books of the God Realm.

The other generals also felt strange, they were worried that the emperor would be angry, and they were also worried about being punished, they lowered their heads nervously, and whispered: "We don't know what's going on, this stone statue is deep in the mountains, this group of people I found it in the lair of the demons, I don’t know how it was stolen, and we are preparing to put it back.”

Stolen?

Xuan Zhao didn't say anything immediately, still feeling strange in his heart.

It is quite incomprehensible for these evil spirits to hide on the top of the ten thousand mountains without being discovered. How could they sneak into the heavily guarded Tianguang Pavilion in the God Realm and steal the stone statues hidden there?Is this too incredible?

And what he didn't understand was, why did they steal this seemingly worthless stone statue?

Xuan Zhao couldn't ignore it, so he said, "Put down the stone statue."

Several god generals were startled: "Emperor?"

Xuan Zhao said: "I will be responsible for returning this stone statue to Tianguang Pavilion, you can deal with other matters first."

Regardless of other people's confusion, Xuan Zhao quickly waved them away, and then slowly walked in front of the stone statue.

Because everyone else is busy, only Xuanzhao and the stone statue in front of him are left here at this moment. Xuanzhao is standing quite close to the stone statue, observing its appearance carefully. For some reason, Gradually, a sense of familiarity can be seen from this stone statue.

He always felt that he had seen the outline of the facial features of this stone statue somewhere.

But this is obviously something left over from the ancient fairy world, something that existed long before he was born.

Just as various conjectures were emerging in Xuanzhao's mind, a sudden change occurred.

There was a crisp cracking sound from the stone statue in front of him, and then the stone statue, which was originally in good shape, slowly peeled off its shell in front of Xuanzhao, revealing a certain figure inside.

A pair of green eyes opened from the cracked stone statue, and then the stones slid down quickly, and a strong evil spirit also diffused from them.

wrong.

This is not the stone statue that was originally stored in the Tianguang Pavilion, it is a counterfeit, and the purpose of the forgery is probably to create the illusion that the stone statue was stolen, and then send them into the Tianguang Pavilion while others are taking advantage of it. sneak into it.

At this moment, Xuan Zhao had already sorted out his thoughts, and at the same time, the monster in the stone statue also completely escaped, and smiled grimly at Xuan Zhao.

"What, I haven't arrived at Tianguang Pavilion yet, but it's okay..." After his body stretched, he was more than twice as tall as Xuan Zhao, and his upper body skin was green. Although he looked like a human, But the appearance is extremely hideous.And his lower body has a huge snake tail.

It seems that the strength of this monster is not weak.

Xuan Zhao made a judgment in an instant, and at the same time he saw the other party staring at him, and said in a cold voice: "It doesn't matter if you didn't go to Tianguang Pavilion, those people thought I escaped, hahahaha so many people It's interesting to go after that phantom, and now that this place is unguarded, they can't just make me mess up?"

While talking, he stepped forward heavily, as if he wanted to crush Xuan Zhao easily.

Xuan Zhao stood still, looked up at the monster, and asked, "Did you forget that I'm still here?"

"You?" The monster looked at him funny, as if he didn't pay attention to him at all, "Who are you? I don't care who you are, but you are just a guy who dare not go to the battlefield and is protected behind others. , if you don’t want to die, you can find a way to escape now, but no matter how you escape, I will kill you, hehe.”

Xuan Zhao: "..."

He rubbed his forehead, not knowing whether to call this monster smart or stupid.
