Outlaw

At the moment when lightning struck Mu Ziyan——

Deep in the vast mountains of Daxia, a mysterious place.

In a huge palace.

This hall is huge, so big that it goes beyond people’s understanding. I'm afraid a strong man would look extremely small walking in this hall, no different from an ant.

Such a building cannot be built by ordinary martial artists.

Suddenly, an ethereal and resonant female voice sounded in the silent hall: "The seal that has been missing for thirteen years has finally fluctuated. I feel her."

In addition, a male voice spoke: "Where is she?"

Female voice: "The place where the Qi Watching Technique reaches is Huaidong, Daxia, south of Pingjiang River."

The man was silent for a moment, and then said: "It's been thirteen years. Do you still think you can really escape? You are so naive. Send the order and bring her back at all costs."

Female voice: "Yes, I will make arrangements now."

……

Zhonghai is still as calm as ever.

Under the withered ancient locust tree in the backyard of Yanyu Tower, Mu Ziyan was still standing there.

Although he was struck by lightning, nothing happened.

She took back her hand and looked at her delicate fingers. It seemed unbelievable that such a pair of ordinary-looking hands could exert such unpredictable power.

After a long time, she slowly recovered and turned back to the room.

Opening the notebook, it seems as if he is recording something.

If Xiao Beichen were present, it would be obvious that Mu Ziyan's eyes and expression had changed a lot.

……

It is said that after Xiao Beichen left Yanyu Tower, he went to Yanbo Lake to see the reconstruction construction site of Xiao's mansion.

The main project has been completed.

The interior decoration is already halfway done, and you can almost see the prototype of a magnificent mansion.

The person in charge of the project here is Chen Ziheng.

Chen Ziheng was surprised to see Xiao Beichen appear and hurriedly came over to report on the progress of the work.

It can be seen that Chen Ziheng has become much calmer these days following Chen Guohua.

Xiao Beichen was not interested in other details and just asked: "How long until I can move in?"

Chen Ziheng patted his chest and promised: "Within one and a half months, we guarantee that the house will be completed and moved in."

Xiao Beichen breathed a sigh of relief and patted Chen Ziheng on the shoulder: "Thank you for your hard work."

After leaving a word, Xiao Beichen turned around and left.

After experiencing what happened in Xiling, Xiao Beichen rarely had time to spare. During the day, I went to Ye Mansion to accompany Xie Rui as usual, and often took Xie Rui out for walks. He didn't leave until dusk and returned to Wenchang Mansion to cook. Have a leisurely dinner with Mu Tianhao, Zhang Lan, and Mu Ziyan’s family.

The days were quiet, simple and unpretentious.

But this was the happiest time Xiao Beichen had ever lived since he left Beiliang.

Every evening, Xiao Beichen would return to the room alone and sit cross-legged on the spot.

Start tempering the Ancient Dragon Elephant Technique.

Next, Xiao Beichen is going to Gusu City.

Gong Xiuyue fought for half a month for herself. The time is getting closer.

This period of time can be regarded as the calm before the storm.

"The situation in Gusu City is more complicated than that in Xiling Zhonghai. There are more powerful people facing it. To be on the safe side, I have to step into the second level of the Ancient Dragon Elephant Art to be safe. Otherwise, the cold nature of Han Jade Bones will once If it breaks out, it will inevitably lead to a situation that is difficult to deal with." Xiao Beichen has his own worries.

Regarding his own strength, Xiao Beichen has nothing to worry about.

The only thing he was worried about was the hidden danger of cold jade bones in his body.

Once it breaks out, something big will happen.

More than ten days passed in a daze without even realizing it.

On this day, Xiao Beichen went to the supermarket to buy some fresh ingredients after leaving Ye Mansion, and sent a text message to Mu Ziyan, asking her to go to Wenchang Mansion for dinner.

After taking away Mu Ziyan's first time, Xiao Beichen felt the need to show concern.

But Mu Ziyan, who was always well-behaved, came back very late today.

It was already ten o'clock in the evening when we got home.

My clothes were a little wet, and my hair was stained with water drops.

Xiao Beichen quickly found a dry towel to wipe her hair: "Why don't you drive back? You catch a cold easily..."

Swish!

Mu Ziyan suddenly threw herself into Xiao Beichen's arms.

Regardless of her soaked clothes, she just hugged her tightly.

Xiao Beichen stroked her back: "Did something happen?"

Mu Ziyan snuggled tightly against Xiao Beichen's chest: "It's nothing, I just miss you."

Xiao Beichen hugged her, feeling a little distressed.

At this time, Zhang Lan and Mu Tianhao, who were watching TV on the sofa in the living room, looked over. His face looked a little unnatural.

"Come on, I'll carry you up and take a bath. Come eat later."

Xiao Beichen directly picked her up and strode upstairs.

During the meal, the family talked very little.

Zhang Lan, who had always been talkative, suddenly became taciturn for some reason today and just immersed herself in eating. Mu Ziyan was obviously not interested either. After a meal, there were only a few words...

Xiao Beichen felt something was wrong, but he didn't say much.

After the meal, Zhang Lan washed the dishes and went back to the room with Mu Tianhao early.

In the past, Mu Tianhao would have to play two games of Go with Xiao Beichen before giving up.

Today is... weird.

Xiao Beichen didn't say much. It's normal for everyone to have troubles sometimes. After returning to the room, he immediately sat cross-legged and meditated, and began to refine the Ancient Dragon Elephant Technique.

The closer it is to go to Gusu City, the more diligently Xiao Beichen becomes in training the master's ancient body-building techniques.

Through this period of additional practice, Xiao Beichen clearly felt that he had made great progress. From the second layer, only the last layer of window paper remains.

It feels like I am about to break through at any moment, but I feel like something is still missing.

In the end, Xiao Beichen had no choice but to give up.

"According to Master Empress, breaking through the second level of the Ancient Dragon Elephant Technique is extremely difficult. It not only requires extraordinary talent and hard work. It also requires indescribable opportunities."

"I understand talent, and I also understand hard work."

"But what is the meaning of the indescribable opportunity...?"

Indescribable...what the hell?

Suddenly, Xiao Beichen thought of a very crucial point.

After entering the first level of the Ancient Dragon Elephant Art, Xiao Beichen practiced hard for several years but was unable to enter the second level and made no progress.

But...since the stormy night with Mu Ziyan a while ago...the situation has quietly changed.

The next day, Xiao Beichen made rapid progress and directly touched the threshold of the second floor.

At that time, Xiao Beichen thought it was because his accumulation of opportunities and insights were sufficient.

But in the next few days, Xiao Beichen practiced hard and made no progress at all.

This...isn't right.

Xiao Beichen suddenly thought that he might have something to do with Mu Ziyan...

After taking a bath, Xiao Beichen, lying on the bedside, began to think about this matter.

The more I think about it, the more possible it becomes.

Mu Ziyan...

At this moment, the door was pushed open.

But it was Mu Ziyan who walked in.

Dressed the same as last time.

The tight and smooth suspender skirt clings tightly to the skin and wraps up a perfect figure.

Sexy, enchanting and charming.

The kind that will turn heads just by looking at it.

Moreover, after what happened yesterday, Mu Ziyan lost a bit of shyness and became a bit more charming.

Xiao Beichen couldn't help but laugh and said, "Watching a horror movie again?"

Mu Ziyan glanced at Xiao Beichen: "Don't you welcome me?"

"The family is gone."

She was furious and turned around as if she was leaving.

Xiao Beichen hugged her from behind: "Welcome."

Her body stiffened slightly, but not as squirming as yesterday.

He turned around and threw himself into his arms.

With her delicate red lips, she kissed Xiao Beichen...

"Beichen, today, you will kill me hard!"

Another stormy night...

……

When I woke up the next day, it was already three o'clock in the morning.

Mu Ziyan was not by her side.

Xiao Beichen smiled and prepared to get up and wash up.

Just then—

Swish!

Xiao Beichen was suddenly shocked and stood there blankly, trembling all over.

The changes in the body have already been completed in the moistening process.

Actually... broke through the second level of the Ancient Dragon Elephant Technique? !

Xiao Beichen was shocked.

How can it be?

He immediately sat down cross-legged, circulated his inner breath, and felt the changes in his body.

Sure enough - he has steadily broken through the second level of imagination.

There is an indescribable and peerless power surging in every gesture.

Unprecedentedly powerful...

This is the Ancient Dragon Elephant Technique!

One of the three most powerful body refining techniques. It has been lost for many years. Looking at the entire Beiliang, there are only a few people who can step into Xiangli.

The Taikoo Dragon Elephant Technique is divided into twelve levels.

The first six floors are the giant elephant realm. The last six floors are the True Dragon Realm.

The six levels of the giant elephant world are: image sound, image power, image meaning, image soul, image blood, and giant elephant.

Previously, Xiao Beichen had been stuck on onomatopoeia. It took years to reach the imagination. So much so that Xiao Beichen once doubted whether this method left over from ancient times was not suitable for today's human practice?

Does this road not work?

Now, with the power of imagination in hand, all doubts have disappeared.

Whoohoo!

After experiencing the terror of elephant power, I became familiar with this power. A satisfied smile appeared on Xiao Beichen's face: "Finally, I have entered the realm of elephant power. With this unrivaled and unparalleled power, I can temporarily suppress the outbreak of the cold nature of Han Jade Bones. Within three months, I can worry-free .”

Xiao Beichen told the truth.

Now that the cold nature of Han Jade Bone continues to explode, even Xiang Power can only suppress it for a while.

What the situation will be like after three months is unknown.

But for Xiao Beichen, three months is enough to do a lot of things.

The darkness is slowly dissipating.

Light is coming.

He stood up, came to the window, and looked at the eastern sky.

The rain stopped. The sun rises and shines brightly.

Everything is so wonderful.

"That's true. Zi Yan, you are really my destiny."

Xiao Beichen suddenly felt an indescribable feeling.

Although he didn't know what was going on... If something happened between a man and a woman, he could break through the second level of the Ancient Dragon Elephant Art?

If there were more storms, wouldn't it be possible to win the third and fourth floors...

However, what he didn't know was... not only did Zi Yan help him, but he also helped Mu Ziyan even more. What they don't even know is that because of this, an unprecedented and terrifying storm is coming.

After going downstairs, Mu Ziyan left breakfast, but he was no longer there.

"This girl, you haven't seen anyone all day long recently. Are you really planning to expand the Forbidden Palace?" Xiao Beichen was eating breakfast and thinking about the expansion plan. He hadn't thought about it yet. How could Mu Ziyan think about it well?

Moreover, a plan... As for letting her work for days and nights?

After breakfast, Xiao Beichen made a special trip to Yanyu Tower.

Pang Qingyun and Li Tieguai are here.

After asking, I learned that Mu Ziyan came here early to work. Lock yourself in the office and don't talk to others.

Oh?

Xiao Beichen knocked on the door out of curiosity.

Isn’t it a sure thing that a wife opens the door to her husband?

Although they are not officially married, they are still engaged.

However, Mu Ziyan inside had no intention of opening the door: "Beichen, I'm busy. I don't have time. You can go home and wait. I'll go back for dinner tonight."

The voice was not loud, but decisive.

Xiao Beichen didn't want to push too hard and didn't continue to knock on the door.

He walked up to Li Tieguai and asked seriously: "Is there anything wrong with her recently?"

Li Tieguai said while using his cane: "Miss Mu is really not feeling right lately. Besides leaving early and coming back late... I secretly went to the backyard to take a look..."

Halfway through, Li Tieguai stopped talking.

Xiao Beichen shouted and asked: "That's what you said."

Gollum!

Li Tieguai swallowed and said: "There is an ancient locust tree in the backyard that is more than a hundred years old. It is growing very well. In the past two days, it has withered and died inexplicably. And when it rained in the past few days, lightning often struck the backyard. .Several big trees were chopped to death."

Pang Qingyun also expressed his position: "It is true. We are very worried about Miss Mu. But every time we go there, she won't let us in. She won't let us talk outside. We see that Miss Mu is fine, so..."

At the end of the day, both of them felt a little embarrassed.

Xiao Beichen waved his hand: "It's okay. You go down."

After retreating from the two of them, Xiao Beichen came to a separate side hall and said, "Come out."

A dark shadow came out.

It is the blood dance.

One of the four war gods of Northern Liang.

She follows Mu Ziyan secretly all the time, and outsiders don't even notice her existence.

Xiao Beichen said calmly: "What's going on?"

Xuewu is Xiao Beichen's absolute confidant, and is also a trump card that Xiao Beichen arranges around Zhong Hai and Mu Ziyan.

Her status is special and it is not convenient for outsiders to know.

Therefore, she often retreats into the background.

But as long as she is in Zhonghai, she is the Dinghai Shenzhen.

Naturally, she knew everything that happened when Xiao Beichen came to Zhonghai.

Xuewu said: "Do you still remember what Li Weiyang said before?"

Xiao Beichen said: "Remember. There are two peerless seals in Mu Ziyan's body, one seals fate, and the other seals essence, bones and blood."

Xue Wu nodded: "Recently, the seal of essence, bone and blood in Miss Mu's body must have been loosened. Although only a small part has been loosened, the power and magical power that emerged from it are scary enough."

Xiao Beichen frowned.

He had long expected that Mu Ziyan would face such a situation.

I just didn't expect it to happen so quickly.

Xue Wu continued: "These days, Miss Mu has locked herself in the office, facing all this and accepting it all alone. For a woman who is used to ordinary secular life, it is not easy to accept such a huge change. thing."

"More importantly, she is still trying to adapt and master this sudden power. It is even more difficult."

Xiao Beichen felt a little sad when he heard this: "She didn't tell me such a big thing happened... What if something went wrong... What else would happen?"

Xue Wu admired her very much: "I admire Miss Mu for being strong and choosing to bear all this alone."

"That's nonsense!" Xiao Beichen shouted and turned around to kick the office door.

Swish!

Xuewu suddenly stretched out his hand to stop him.

Xiao Beichen frowned: "What do you mean?"

Xue Wu immediately stopped his hand and said with utmost respect: "Your Majesty, since Miss Mu has already made her choice, why do you have to interfere? Everyone with a dream wants to realize their value through their own efforts. If you really do it for her OK, then support her decision."

"Prince, don't worry. I will be watching at all times. If there is any accident, I will notify you as soon as possible."

These words moved Xiao Beichen.

Yes, everyone with a dream wants to rely on themselves.

In the end, he became unreliable and was forced to find a backer...

But in this vast world, how many people can truly stand at the top of the world and become the backers of all sentient beings?

Seeing that Xiao Beichen had not yet expressed his stance, Xuewu said: "Five years ago, when the prince first arrived in Beiliang, the empress tried every means to let you spend the rest of your life without tossing, but in the end you didn't listen to the empress's advice and kept tossing? If not Where did your original persistence come from, King Xiao Bei behind you?"

Xiao Beichen smiled slightly: "Xuewu, you dare to say such things in front of me. But, I listened."

Snapped!

Xiao Beichen slapped Xue Wu on the shoulder fiercely, and said solemnly: "Thank you for your hard work. If there is anything wrong, tell me immediately. Because, Mu Ziyan... can't allow any mistakes!"

Xue Wu breathed a sigh of relief and smiled heartily: "I understand."

She is also a woman.

We know very clearly how difficult it is for women to gain a foothold in this world. It often requires greater effort than men.

In this regard, she naturally turned to Mu Ziyan.

Why couldn't Xiao Beichen see it?

It's just that I don't care about it, and I support it deep down.

Back then, the empress gave herself enough space and trust, and that's how Xiao Beichen became today.

Xiao Beichen treats the people around him like an empress.

You can protect someone by yourself, but if the other person wants to truly grow up, you have to rely on yourself.

After leaving Yanyu Tower, Xiao Beichen went to Ye Mansion to visit Xie Rui. It was already nine o'clock in the evening when he returned to Wenchang Mansion.

The living room was empty, and the familiar Mu Tianhao and Zhang Lan were not seen.

Mu Ziyan, on the other hand, was sitting blankly in the living room, holding a piece of note in her hand, lost in thought.

Xiao Beichen leaned over and said, "What's wrong?"

Mu Ziyan handed the note in her hand to Xiao Beichen: "Look."

The note was Zhang Lan's handwriting.

Two sentences:

Daughter, I just got news from your grandfather. Tianhao and I decided to go to Canghe overnight to find him.

When we are away, we should listen more to Beichen. He is a reliable man!

Xiao Beichen's eyes darkened: "No wonder Uncle Hao and Aunt Lan were not right last night... It turns out that they had news about Mu Zhengfeng at that time..."

Mu Ziyan raised her head and murmured: "Beichen, I..."

I wanted to speak several times but hesitated.

Xiao Beichen saw it and said, "Where is Canghe?"

Mu Ziyan said: "Canghe River is close to Gusu City. It is an area where Gusu City connects to the Taihang Mountains. The terrain of Canghe River is long and narrow from north to south, and the northernmost part is not far from Jianmen Pass."

Xiao Beichen nodded: "In that case, let's not wait. We will go to Canghe early tomorrow morning. Just in time, I also want to see Mr. Mu. I have many questions and I have to ask him."

Mu Zhengfeng was one of the operators of his engagement with Mu Ziyan.

There are many problems that only Mu Zhengfeng knows.

Moreover, Mu Zhengfeng must be Pingnan's only insider regarding Mu Ziyan's life experience.

Xiao Beichen really wanted to... meet this old man.

Mu Ziyan nodded heavily.

Mu Ziyan's mood was very low all night.

Xiao Beichen took her into his arms and slept together.

Not much.

Mu Ziyan was gentle and intellectual. She leaned in his arms and didn't fall asleep until most of the night.

Xiao Beichen finally breathed a sigh of relief and slowly fell asleep.

I'm so tired these days.

Whether it's physically or mentally...

Just when Xiao Beichen was in a daze, a black shadow suddenly floated in from the window.

Swish!

Immediately afterwards, a bright sword went straight to Xiao Beichen's throat.

Everything is as fast as lightning.
