Chapter 197 The Strange Nightmare
Chapter 197 The Strange Nightmare
A few days ago, the news of the ancient artifacts in the desert spread like wildfire. However, in the past hundred years, the Saibei Desert, which no one cares about, experienced a bloody catastrophe. All those who went to find the ancient artifacts were wiped out in the yellow sand. Among them, only City Master Sheng Xue and Palace Master Shenyue returned safely.
Therefore, all the people in Jianghu suspect that the desert scorpion is a scam, and its purpose is to use ancient artifacts to lure martial arts practitioners, and then catch them all in one go, and carry out a tragic killing.
And the murderers most likely to set up this scam are Nangong Nongyue and Hebian Guxue!
There are rumors in the world that not only did the two of them get the ancient artifact, but they were also unscathed, so everyone's suspicions were logical.
Nightmare is still raging wildly in the rivers and lakes. Those strange killers who have no dead spots and no breathing all come from a mysterious place called "Dream Eater".
It seems to be a land of nothingness, a land of illusions. There are rumors in the rivers and lakes that some people have seen those nightmares enter a forest, miraculously disappear in a dazzling white light, and then no trace can be found.
The imperial city occupied by the Holy Snow King City and the Shenyue Palace has already taken on a new look, but today, this piece of royal pure land is already bloody.
The blood-colored air was mixed with a fishy smell, rippling and spreading in the wind, the cold hall was surrounded by dead silence, and the howling cold wind pierced the eardrums.
That day, the hundred Ryukyu ministers who were not strangled by Nongyue, all turned into horrible corpses today.
Shang Luo and Mu Yun looked at the corpse on the ground quietly, the rotten smell and stench that came from it made Zi Shan feel nauseated.
"When did it happen?" Nongyue raised her eyes, her purple pupils shone as sharp as a cold front.
"If I'm not mistaken, it should be last night." Shang Luo's words were very flat.
Mu Yunqing said indifferently: "We never leave the palace every day. If we killed a hundred ministers overnight, it is impossible for us not to hear the movement."
Nongyue raised her eyes and looked at the two indifferent men standing in front of him, and smiled wickedly, "In the entire palace, you two have the highest martial arts, and you didn't even hear that a hundred ministers were killed!" sound……"
The shallow smile is slightly evil and charming, which is unpredictable.
"I suspect it's a nightmare." Shang Luo thought deeply, "Otherwise, he wouldn't have done it so cleanly and silently."
Nongyue raised her eyes, Xiemei smiled slowly, and a glint appeared in her eyes: "It is said that the leader of Demon Nightmare, known as 'Ghost Ji', has a woman's voice and a man's body, which is very weird. If Ghost Princess sent Demon Night to make it, It's not impossible, but..."
"It wasn't made by the nightmare." At that time, a cold voice reached the ears of several people, and a man in red slowly walked into the hall, his icy red eyes were cold and charming.
His eyes swept over the few people standing in the hall, Gu Xue's lips curled up coldly, and the look in his eyes was strange and profound.
"The murderer will definitely not escape from this palace!"
"How can Palace Master Helian be sure?" Shang Luo and Mu Yun were puzzled.
The eyes of the man in red flicked across those enchanting purple pupils, "Because someone has been here to protect the world, if the nightmare wants to enter the palace and kill the officials, the person who guarded the world will not be unaware , Am I right? Saint Snow City Lord?"
Nong Yue's smile was even more evil, and he looked at the pair of penetrating red pupils, his eyes were full of approval.
Guxue looked at Shang Luo, Mu Yunqing and Zi Shan with a cold and unpredictable look in her eyes.
Shang Luo seemed to see through the meaning of the surging red eyes, and smiled lightly, "What? Palace Master Helian suspects that some of us killed it?"
Although Shang Luo said he didn't care, there was a faint uneasiness in his heart.
If what Helian Guxue said is true, then in the entire imperial palace, apart from the three of them, there is no one with such advanced martial arts, who can end the lives of a hundred court officials without anyone noticing without effort.
however……
The man in red didn't say a word, and met his purple eyes, then turned around and stepped out of the hall.
"Bury it." After Nong Yue gave her instructions, she disappeared into the sunlight together with the demon red.
Shang Luo, Mu Quqing, and Zi Shan had their own thoughts, and the look in their eyes was like dark clouds passing by, without any trace of sunshine.
Holy Snow King City, Ting Xuexuan.
Two enchanting men stood side by side, their gazes cast towards the green hills in the distance, deep and distant.
"Don't you think it's strange?" Gu Xue recalled carefully, "The news that the ancient artifact was in the desert can't be released by the evil emperor, there must be someone else."
"That's right." Nong Yue said indifferently: "What kind of character is the evil emperor? The ancient artifact is his nemesis of martial arts, and no one wants to obtain the ancient artifact more than him. He attracts so many martial arts people with great fanfare, isn't it just asking for it? bitter?"
"Who do you suspect?"
Nongyue Xie raised her eyes slightly, and paused for a moment, the expression in her purple eyes was strange, "Looks like the people around us."
Gu Xue pondered for a while: "What do you think about the matter in the palace?" Her icy red eyes narrowed coldly, "If it was really done by one of the three of them, what is the reason?"
"Nowadays, the nightmares are messing up the rivers and lakes. It's not impossible for them to kill court officials and disrupt the power of you and me. However, if the nightmares want to enter the palace, it's impossible for me not to notice it just because of their strange aura. The only possibility is..."
Gu Xue suddenly realized something, "Do you suspect that among the three of them, one of them is 'Ghost Ji'?"
"It's just a guess." Nong Yue frowned slightly, "Zi Shan and Shang Luo were both trained by me, and Yun Qing..."
"Although Yun Qing is not your subordinate, I don't think he is a 'Ghost Ji'." Gu Xue's tone was calm and soft.
"How can you be sure?"
Guxue didn't answer, just her intuition.
That indifferent man is carefree and unrestrained, Guxue can't imagine that his childhood playmate will degenerate into the leader of the nightmare who can't tell the difference.
"I have an ominous premonition..." Nongyue clenched the red-clothed man's hand tightly, her purple eyes flickering with unsteady light.
Night, starless and moonless, cold and quiet, the swaying dead branches were wrapped in dense fog, and the cold wind blew past, making a sharp and terrifying sound of "squeak, creak, creak."
A quarter of an hour ago, Xingyue twin souls heard a series of tragic sounds echoing in the forest, and the strong smell of blood was overwhelming, spreading around the two like a blood mist.
"Was it a nightmare just now?" Moon Soul looked around, and the crescent moon tattoo on his wrist found a dazzling blue light in the dark night.
"It sounds like it sounds." Xinghun walked slowly into the deep forest, the birds in the dark night had already rested, and the dull air was oppressive in Xingyue Youhun's heart.
As one went deeper, more and more corpses criss-crossed in the forest, as if they had just experienced a bloody baptism.
Severed limbs and walls splashed everywhere, as well as internal organs of the human body, broken heads... It was terrifying like a devil's purgatory.
Suddenly, hearing the sound of trembling in the depths of the forest, the sound of the body rubbing against the branches and leaves made Xingyue Youhun heighten his vigilance.
"who?"
The star soul soared up, and the six-pointed star on the wrist gave off a bright blue light, and instantly split the shrub silk that covered it.
A man in green clothes covered in blood fell in the forest. His right arm had been cut off abruptly, exposing the white bones. His whole body was covered in blood, and his chest was still heaving weakly.
"It seems to be injured by the nightmare."
"This person looks familiar..." Yuehun walked over, turned over the body of the man in Tsing Yi, and was shocked suddenly, "Fengchentian?"
"Ah, so it's here!" A charming voice came from the forest, and a jade-faced boy waved his finger fan, landing in front of Xingyue twin souls.
The jade-faced boy squatted in front of Feng Chentian, sighed, "The injury is so serious, it seems that the evil emperor has really dealt with it."
"Yinchuan ghost doctor?" Xinghun's sword eyes narrowed slightly, "Why are you here?"
"I'm looking for someone." Nan Feng Yin pointed to the wounded Feng Chentian, "No, it's him."
"Why are you looking for him?" Xinghun looked suspicious.
"At that time it was Xiaolan...Ye Feiyan asked me, of course I will find him." Nan Fengyin looked indifferent.
Yuehun's eyes also showed a strange light, "Do you know that this place was looted by a nightmare just now?"
"What does it have to do with me?" Nan Fengyin looked innocent.
"What do you think?" Star Soul's eyes seeped a cold murderous look, "We just came here, and you arrived later, do you dare to say that you have nothing to do with the nightmare? Or is it because you have no time to get out, so you simply 'rescued'?" People' as an excuse to get rid of their own suspicion?"
Nan Fengyin smiled harmlessly: "I said Star Soul Left Envoy, can you change your skepticism? Could it be that you have stayed with the holy hand poison fairy for a long time, and you have been fascinated by it. Doubt this and doubt that.”
"He is our city lord!"
"Ah, yes yes yes, your city lord." Nan Feng smiled charmingly.
Yuehun snorted coldly, "It is said that the 'Ghost Ji' has a woman's voice, a man's body, and looks like a man or woman. I think you fit it very well."
"I'm a man!" Nan Fengyin exclaimed in shock.
Xinghun walked to Nanfeng's invisible side, and said cold and murderous words: "Ghost Ji Shenlong can't see the end, it is said that he is someone we know well, if you are 'Gui Ji', I will definitely kill you!"
Xingyue and Xingyue turned around and left, Nanfeng hugged the seriously injured Fengchentian, with a dim light in his eyes.
late at night.
The bleak cold wind whizzed past, dark clouds floated in the sky, and the moonlight was cold, like the shadow of death, slowly casting down.
A bewitching man looked up at the sly moonlight, and his purple eyes carried darkness like an abyss.
Suddenly, a sound of commotion swept through the east attic of Shengxuewang City, instantly regaining Nongyue's thoughts.
The enchanting Zi Ying flashed to the east attic with lightning speed, only to see Xinghun standing at the door of the attic with a face of shock and panic, the hexagram tattoo on his wrist had faded away.
In those strong and handsome eyes, there was unprecedented surprise and pain.
Nong Yue's purple eyes suddenly flashed a poisonous and cold demonic light, "Moon Soul..."
In the room, a woman in black was lying on the ground with disheveled hair and bulging eyes. Her neck was pierced by three ice thorns, and the remaining blood was continuously flowing from the blood vessels.
It seemed to be an ice thorn growing in the body, bursting out of the body because it couldn't bear the huge size, Qingcheng's face was hideous and terrifying, with the last expression of shock and fright remaining, the head and slender neck had been pierced by the ice thorn The flesh and blood on his body was bloody, as if a light touch would cause that beautiful head to roll off...
Xing Hun knelt down beside Yue Hun's corpse, his hands trembling and helpless, "It's a nightmare...it must be a nightmare..."
The nightmarish name echoed throughout the room.
Nong Yue closed his eyes slightly, his handsome brows were tightly furrowed, no one knew what he was thinking at this moment...
"I just walked for a while, and this happened..."
Xinghun's voice was trembling and at a loss, and suddenly, a sharp light flashed in his deep eyes, as if he thought of something instantly, "It's Nan Fengyin!" He stood up and looked at Nongyue, who still had an indifferent face, "We just took photos Over the face! It must be him! He is 'Ghost Ji'!
"I'm going to kill him!"
"Stop!" Nong Yue's tone was still very calm, unable to detect any emotion, "Don't take a single step out of the Holy Snow King City, otherwise, you will be killed without mercy!"
When Guxue returned to Shenyue Palace, Wuya and Xifeng rushed over with gloomy expressions.
"What's the matter?"
"Palace Master, Jueying hasn't returned for three days! I don't know where to go."
