Chapter 174 The Land of Exile
empire.

Royal Palace.

A busy day is over.

In the quiet night, not many people were arranged to guard the hall.

At this time, the emperor usually has already rested.

But today, he was still sitting on the supreme throne, and asked, "Where is the hidden guard?"

Two figures quietly appeared under the steps, knelt on one knee and said, "Your Majesty."

The emperor said: "Now there are two tasks, you perform one of them, and keep the other in mind."

"First, from now on, we must immediately expand the number of hidden guards. According to the list recommended by the sequence, focus on selecting people with clean identities and high strength to join them, and directly follow my command."

"Second, secretly kill all those who explore the ruins of the Kingdom of Ceylon—as for who they are, I don't care, but I believe you will find out soon."

"Yes, Your Majesty!"

The two figures quietly disappeared.

……

cliff edge.

A figure appeared quietly.

Liu Ping.

——The Rock of Wucun is really easy to use, just turn into a snowflake, and you can watch everything.

He shook the snow off his body, and quickly moved down the edge of the cliff.

The wind and snow were like hemp.

Soon, the traces he left were completely covered.

There are always places on rocky cliffs that are suitable for climbing. The only problem is that these places are often slippery.

Liu Ping is now just a level three knight, so he naturally climbs cautiously.

After a while, he became impatient.

I saw him let go of his hand, and his body swept down quickly.

When he was about to reach the bottom of the cliff, he called softly, "Zhao Chanyi."

A woman with cat ears appeared from the void, hugged him by the waist, slowly released the force of the fall, and gently placed him on the ice.

I don't know how far it is from the top of the cliff. Looking up from the bottom, the cliff looks like floating clouds in the sky.

The wind and snow seem to have been isolated.

There was silence all around.

Liu Ping squatted down and tapped the ice surface lightly, making a crisp sound.

"This ice is so hard, it actually sealed a whole world, I guess this is definitely not ordinary ice." Zhao Chanyi said with interest.

"Of course not, pure frost can't do this." Liu Ping said.

"Before the monster left, he said that there is a sequence here-is this believable?"

"I don't know, let's use it as a reference first."

Just as Liu Ping finished speaking, a sudden change occurred——

Lines of burning small characters floated in the void:

"Attention, this sequence has already sensed the breath of the same kind."

"To unravel the mysteries of this place, you must head southwest, where there is a certain truth that you must go and witness for yourself!"

Liu Ping's expression moved, he pulled out a card from the void and threw it out.

Bang!
That card turned into a war horse.

He jumped on his horse and galloped towards the southwest.

Zhao Chanyi flew in the air, circling around the horse, and suddenly flew to his ear and said: "Just now when I was running for my life, I was riding on me, why did you change the horse now?"

"It was to escape, and it was a last resort. The situation is not urgent now. Besides, I have a mount, so I have the nerve to bother you all the time." Liu Ping said.

After thinking about it, he took out a basket of fresh fish and handed it to her.

"Here, I bought it at the market before. It is said that it is a unique fish in the glacier. It tastes very delicious. You should eat some first and take a rest by the way."

Zhao Chanyi listened carefully, then looked at the basket of fresh fish in front of her, her eyes gradually curved into a crescent moon.

She took the basket with a smile, and hummed softly, "Liu Ping, you've grown up."

Bang!
She turned into a card, flew around Liu Ping twice, and landed in his arms.

Liu Ping put away the cards and shook the reins vigorously.

"drive!"

He drank.

The war horse immediately picked up speed and galloped forward on the ice like the wind.

About a quarter of an hour later.

The war horse stopped slowly and was put away again by Liu Ping.

Looking at the ice and snow cliff ahead, he said, "I have reached the end of the road."

There was no sound.

No response.

The sequence doesn't even give any hints.

Liu Ping thought for a while, then randomly pulled out a heavy warhammer, dragged it to the front of the cliff, mustered all his strength, raised the hammer high, and smashed it hard towards the snow-covered cliff——

Boom!
A dull sound.

The snow on the cliffs fell down one after another, turning into an avalanche, submerging Liuping directly.

Another good time passed.

Liu Ping crawled out from the snow and looked forward.

I saw that after the snow on the cliff was completely shaken off, it finally showed its true colors.

Countless people are sealed within the transparent blue ice crystals.

Surrounded by the crowd, a person wearing a crown put on a posture of running away with all his strength.

Holding a card in his hand, he stretched it towards Liu Ping, and everyone's eyes fell on the card.

Only one step away-

Only one step away, the man wearing the crown could break through the seal of ice and snow and come to Liu Ping.

pity.

This step is a natural moat.

He and the card in his hand have been completely sealed by Frost.

Liu Ping sighed, and looked at the man wearing the crown. From the look of despair on his face, he seemed to be able to feel the miserable experience of the entire human kingdom.

—no one escaped from the frost.

"after all……"

Liu Ping's eyes moved slowly and landed on the card.

I saw a black key drawn on the card.

——On the blank card, there is one and only one black key.

What does this mean?
Suddenly, lines of burning small characters quickly appeared before Liu Ping's eyes:

"special reminder!"

"You have seen an ownerless and incomplete sequence, which sleeps in the eternal night, like a dead life."

"Its first card is presented in front of your eyes. Based on this card, we can infer the name of its former sequence:"

"The place of exile."

"We have discovered new sequences, given the circumstances—"

"This sequence is about to release the official mission for the first time."

"You entered the sequence task:"

"Secret Fusion."

"Take that card, enter the incomplete 'Land of Exile', secretly collect every card in this sequence, and attribute it to this sequence."

"If you complete this task, this sequence will evolve."

"—This is an excellent opportunity for you to increase your strength, and it is also the secret way for this sequence to survive in the eternal night."

"start!"

In an instant, the card sealed by frost emitted a soft light.

clack clack-

The frost shattered one after another, and the card left the corpse's hand, flew up gently, and landed in front of Liu Ping.

"It seems that this is the secret of the Kingdom of Ceylon..."

Liu Ping said softly.

He reached out and held the card with the black key on it.

A line of small characters jumped out:

"Notice!"

"Time and space have changed."

"You are entering an era belonging to the Kingdom of Ceylon!"

"Everything starts from here, please proceed with caution."

The surrounding scenery changed drastically.

Snow, ice, and cliffs are all gone.

Liu Ping stayed in the white light for a few breaths, until the dazzling white light gradually disappeared, and he saw everything around him again.

church.

The black church was surrounded by raging flames, and there were many panicked voices from inside:
"The door is locked!"

"Open the door, quickly find a way to open the door!"

"Break it open!"

"No, this is the secret method door, you must use the key."

"fire Fire!"

"Help!"

Liu Ping stood outside the church in a daze, looking up at the top of the church.

On the top of the church, there was a metal statue, which covered the figure of the god with a large dark cloak, revealing only a bone arm, holding a small scale.

——That evil god!
In the history of the Kingdom of Ceylon, it once controlled this place!
Liu Ping suddenly became enlightened.

No wonder it doesn't allow people to look into history, it all makes sense.

A line of small burning characters quickly appeared:

"Open the door to save people, or let the first batch of believers of the evil god be burned to death. You need to choose a starting way of fate from the two."

"According to your choice, you will join different forces and explore the future from different destinies."

Liu Ping looked at the black key in his hand, and suddenly said: "So that's how it's used."

So, how to choose?
Let them be burned, and the kingdom will gain more breathing room.

Save them, will break into them?
Do not……

The gods will never accept a hypocrite.

——How to choose?

Liu Ping stood where he was, lost in thought.

Time passed slowly.

This time, he seemed to be thinking a little too long.

It wasn't until the fire in the church grew stronger and the voices of those struggling for help became weaker and weaker that he slapped his head violently.

"It's almost there... There must be a lot of people inside who are seriously injured, and I need to rescue the wounded."

Liu Ping murmured, casually placed the paladin's laurel crown on top of his head, and held it upright.

He took a sharp breath and said loudly, "Everyone, don't be afraid, in the name of justice and compassion, I'm here to save everyone!"

He put the key in the big iron door and twisted the lock hard.
