Outlaw

Back in the yard, Xiao Beichen did not rush to find Xia Mengyao, but stood alone under the eaves, watching the rain falling in the sky.

He thought of his grandfather.

Thinking of countless family members in the past.

Bits and pieces of childhood.

Then, a smile appeared on Xiao Beichen's face: "Grandpa, are you okay in heaven?"

"Just a few days ago, I helped you kill Xiao Junlin!"

"It was he who killed you in the first place. It was also he who personally led the people to massacre the whole family of my Xiao family."

"Now, I'm sending him on his way."

Xiao Beichen murmured to himself, with a touch of sadness on his lips.

"Grandpa, don't worry. The matter is far from over. The Yu tribe is the culprit of everything! I will let the superior Yu tribe understand how ridiculous it was to label grandpa as a criminal. I will let Everyone in the Yu clan understands that their massacre of my Xiao family is the decision they all regret most in their lives."

Smiling, with tears in his eyes.

After a long time, Xiao Beichen slowly recovered.

Wipe away your tears and calm down your emotions.

If you still need it, let’s go again.

At this time, Tang Ziyue and Zhao Shanhe rushed over in a hurry.

"Lord!"

"Hello, lord!"

Xiao Beichen adjusted his mood and welcomed the two of them into the living room to drink tea.

These two people are his biggest right-hand men now.

Xiao Beichen still needs to be treated well.

Fill each person with a cup of tea.

"You two fought hard against the Zhongzhou King's hundreds of thousands of martial arts troops at Longhu Gorge. Thank you for your hard work."

Tang Ziyue and Zhao Shanhe quickly said it didn't matter, and after some pleasantries. Tang Ziyue said: "Lord, I came to you this time to discuss something."

Xiao Beichen said: "But it doesn't matter."

Tang Ziyue said: "The martial arts in the sixteen regions in central China are far more powerful than those in the sixteen regions in the east. Now all our martial arts legions have invested in the Longhu Gorge. The martial arts in other parts of the sixteen regions in the east are empty. If the king of Zhongzhou sends another If a powerful warrior army enters from the flank, we will be very passive."

Zhao Shanhe said: "Moreover, the King of Zhongzhou continues to send more troops to Longhu Gorge, and the pressure on us to resist is increasing. Continuing a long-term confrontation is not an option. We must have a comprehensive plan."

Xiao Beichen understood.

They came here to ask Xiao Beichen if he had any way to coordinate the overall situation.

Xiao Beichen asked Tang Ziyue: "What suggestions do you have?"

The Empress made a suggestion, but that was the pattern of the Empress.

Taking over the Sixteenth Domain in Central China... without the Empress, outsiders would not even dare to think about it.

Tang Ziyue said another plan: "We can't defend if we continue to fight. Not to mention that the martial arts of the Sixteenth Region of Zhongzhou are much stronger than ours in the east. And behind Zhongzhou is the entire Great Xia Empire. They can continuously increase their troops, The war of attrition... we will lose.”

"If we want to continue fighting a war of attrition, that's fine. We need the support of Beiliang or Qianshan Snow Region. Only in this way can we continue the confrontation. But this requires the lord's planning."

It's a plan.

A war of attrition requires national strength, financial resources, and manpower.

How could a martial art from the sixteen eastern regions be able to withstand the entire Great Xia Empire?

But it would be no problem if Beiliang or Qianshan Snow Region join in.

After all, the Eastern Sixteen Regions are completely bordered by the Snowy Region of Qianshan Mountain in Beiliang. You can open a border and let people from these two areas in.

Xiao Beichen said solemnly: "What if we don't fight a war of attrition?"

Tang Ziyue said decisively: "Then unite with the Empress and fight again. Raid Zhongzhou and attack the entire Sixteenth Region of Zhongzhou. I have seen the map. The terrain of the Sixteenth Region of Zhongzhou is easy to defend but difficult to attack. If we can win the eastern and The Thirty-Two Domains in Central China. Not only does it have excellent terrain, but it also has enough land depth to openly crack the soil and claim the throne. When the time comes, coupled with the shock of Beiliang and Qianshan Snow Domain, Emperor Xia will not dare to go out in full force. Three We won’t be able to get back the thirty-two regions in the eastern part of Zhongzhou within this year.”

Sure enough, the judgment was consistent with that of the empress.

It is remarkable that Tang Ziyue has such vision and judgment at such a young age.

Xiao Beichen was silent, and Tang Ziyue said: "So, I want to ask the master what he means."

Gollum!

Xiao Beichen took a sip of tea and said: "Now that we have taken this path, we can't look back. You insist on staying in Longhu Gorge for two months. Master Empress and I will set off for Zhongzhou in the next two days. Within two months, Determine the entire territory of Zhongzhou."

As soon as these words came out, Zhao Shanhe and Tang Ziyue fell silent.

Enough!

As expected of the lord!

Always choose the most exciting path!

Zhao Shanhe said: "What if I can't get it?"

Xiao Beichen said solemnly: "If we can't take it, things will be in trouble. Our westward march will be seriously frustrated. Moreover, it will be difficult to defend the sixteen eastern regions. At that time, we will have to retreat to Beiliang or Qianshan Snow Region . It will be difficult to compete with Emperor Xia in the next few years."

Eh!

Tang Ziyue sighed: "Yes. Now is the time when our Kowloon League is making great progress. The whole world is watching us. If our progress is frustrated, it will be difficult for us to have a chance to show off with Emperor Xia in the future. If my lord He Empress can capture the Sixteenth Region of Central China. If you retreat, you can defend according to the danger, and if you advance, you can look at Emperor Wu City of West China. After crossing Emperor Wu City, you will go straight into the imperial capital and it will be smooth sailing."

"The sixteen regions of Zhongzhou... are a crucial piece of the puzzle for us."

Xiao Beichen smiled and stretched out his hand to support their shoulders: "You two, the Eastern Sixteen Regions and Longhu Gorge are entrusted to you! Wait for my good news in two months. See you at the Zhongzhou City Tower then!"

The two were deeply shocked and hurriedly left after giving instructions.

Xiao Beichen was the only one left in the tea room.

Quietly.

Xiao Beichen took the initiative to light a cigarette and slowly smoked it.

Still on the way.

Once on this road, you can never stop and rest.

The crucial sixteen regions of Zhongzhou!

It is related to the great cause of the Kowloon League, life and death depend on it.

Everyone is trying their best in their own way.

Tang Ziyue, Zhao Shanhe, Forbidden Palace, Kowloon League...

They all shine in their positions.

As a leader, Xiao Beichen naturally has his own mission.

After smoking a cigarette, Xiao Beichen stood up.

Daogu!

The secret of ancient Qi refining!

Xiao Beichen took the initiative to cook a sumptuous dinner and knocked on the door of Xia Mengyao's residence.

Xia Mengyao is still as stunning as before.

Seeing Xiao Beichen putting a table of dishes on the table as soon as he entered the house, Xia Mengyao was shocked: "What are you doing?"

Without saying much, Xiao Beichen handed a bowl of fragrant rice to Xia Mengyao and gave him chopsticks: "Quickly try my handiwork."

Xia Mengyao didn't move her chopsticks and looked at Xiao Beichen curiously: "The sun comes out from the west?"

Xiao Beichen. He smiled and said, "No, you helped me a lot this time. It's very reasonable for me to treat you to a meal."

It's very reasonable...

Xia Mengyao picked up the chopsticks and was about to start, but suddenly put them down: "You'd better speak clearly, otherwise I won't feel at ease eating."

Xiao Beichen: "..."

Xia Mengyao stared at him.

Xiao Beichen: "Do I look sinister?"

Xia Mengyao: "You do look very sinister now."

Xiao Beichen was completely speechless: "..."

Although this woman is aloof, she is not stupid.

Xiao Beichen. Hemming and hawing.

He has never asked Xia Mengyao for help?

Xia Mengyao suddenly said: "I understand."

Xiao Beichen was stunned: "What do you understand?"

Xia Mengyao said: "You are here for the Dao Bone. Do you want me to give the Dao Bone to you?"

Snapped!

Xiao Beichen patted his thigh: "Is that okay?"

What a smart woman.

Xia Mengyao said: "Do you want to see the ancient Qi refining technique that is not spread among Taoists?"

Xiao Beichen said: "Yes."

Xia Mengyao sighed: "It's possible, but you have to find a reason. Otherwise, I won't be able to tell the truth when I go back, and it won't end well."

Xiao Beichen said: "This is simple, just that the Taoist bones were stolen."

Xia Mengyao: "Most people don't have this ability. No one will believe it."

Xiao Beichen said: "There is a person who has this ability."

Xia Mengyao raised her eyebrows: "Who?"

Xiao Beichen said: "Xiao Junlin."

Xia Mengyao was shocked: "Isn't he dead?"

Xiao Beichen said: "It's because he died that we can keep the secret. It's best for him to take the blame."

If Xiao Junlin heard this, he would probably get out of his coffin...

Is he going too far?

I'm already dead, you still want me to take the blame?

Do you want to talk about Wude?

If so, Xiao Beichen must reply to him - letting you take the blame is the blessing you have earned in eight lifetimes.

Xia Mengyao was stunned: "There is a way, it is the people here in Daoling Mountain..."

Xiao Beichen gave her advice: "You are a saint, it is not difficult to suppress them. They dare not say anything."

hiss!

Xia Mengyao took a breath of air and looked Xiao Beichen up and down: "Well, Xiao Beichen, you laid a whole trick on me before you came here. You are getting better and better, and you dare to do this."

Xiao Beichen sneered: "Do me a favor. Don't worry, I will tell you all about the secrets of ancient Qi refining techniques in the future."

Xia Mengyao snorted: "It's not rare."

He looked a little angry.

Xiao Beichen quickly poured a bowl of soup for her and brought it to her: "Can you help me? If you don't help me, I'll be angry."

Xia Mengyao: "..."

Are you still angry if I don't help you?

Nima, talent!

Seeing what Xiao Beichen was going to do, Xia Mengyao couldn't stand it anymore: "Okay, I'll help you. But I have a condition."

Xiao Beichen was overjoyed: "Say it."

Xia Mengyao: "You are not allowed to talk anymore while I am eating."

Xiao Beichen made an OK gesture and just watched the woman in green eating.

After the meal, Xiao Beichen asked: "How does it taste?"

Xia Mengyao: "It's okay."

Xiao Beichen: "..."

Four dishes and one soup, you've finished them all.

You call this just okay?

Can't you compliment my cooking skills?

Too much.

Gently wiping the oil stains on the corners of her mouth with a tissue, Xia Mengyao stood up and said, "Follow me."

Xiao Beichen followed him enthusiastically.

Enter the deepest part of Daoling Mountain.

A large ancient palace.

Daoyu Zhenren and several masters personally stationed here.

Seeing Xia Mengyao, Master Daoyu took the lead in saluting.

"Saint!"

Xia Mengyao nodded: "Master Daoyu. Xiao Junlin came here before and stole the Taoist bones. Then he was killed, and Najie's whereabouts are unknown."

Daoyu's head didn't turn around: "No, Xiao Junlin didn't come. I've been guarding here."

Ok?

Xia Mengyao frowned: "No? Are you sure?"

Sensing the strong sense of oppression released from Xia Mengyao, Master Daoyu panicked: "Yes, or not?"

Xia Mengyao said coldly: "Yes! I said so!"

Master Daoyu wiped the cold sweat from his forehead: "Yes! Yes!! I understand."

Xia Mengyao nodded: "Lead the way."

Master Daoyu led the way in panic, while introducing: "This ancient palace is the mausoleum we built for our ancestors. Our ancestors originally reached the level of the Great Perfection of the Inscription Realm, but failed when they attacked the Celestial Realm. They became possessed and died."

As we walked along, we saw the coffin in the central hall of the ancient palace.

In the coffin, a corpse lay quietly.

Master Daoyu said: "This is the Taoist bone of my ancestor Bai Zidao."

The coffin was not sealed.

You can clearly see what's going on inside.

a skeleton.

A very clean skeleton.

There are a lot of textured strokes on it, which looks very weird. At the same time, a burst of awe-inspiring energy was released.

Is this the bone of truth?

What exactly is Taogu... Xiao Beichen doesn't know.

But it sounds like a great deal.

Xia Mengyao frowned and said: "Master Dao Yu, Bai Zidao's cultivation level is only inscription pattern realm, so it stands to reason that he would not have Tao bones. What's going on?"

Daoyu Zhenren said: "The saint doesn't know something. My ancestor was the younger brother of one of the five monarchs of Taiqing Palace. He was a student of Taishang Taoism before. He was one of the five monarchs of Taiqing Palace and gave him a Taoist bone. It was originally In order to help him break through the celestial realm. But he became obsessed and finally passed away here."

Xia Mengyao was extremely surprised.

The younger brother of one of the Five Lords of Taiqing Palace!

One of the Five Lords gave him a Dao Bone.

Still a student of Taishang Taoism!

Xiao Beichen asked curiously: "What is Taishang Taoism?"

Xia Mengyao explained: "An academy jointly founded by the three ancient Taoist sects. It is a place dedicated to cultivating elites for the three ancient Taoist sects. It is also a place for exchanges and cooperation between the three ancient Taoist sects. Because of the existence of Taishang Taoism, the three great sects can be closely connected. Together, there has never been a major dispute. Taishang Taoism has existed for a full thousand years, and it can even be said that the three great sects were born from Taishang Taoism."

Awesome!

This organizational structure is tight enough.

Xia Mengyao waved her hand: "Master Daoyu, you can go out. Remember, this bone was stolen by Xiao Junlin."

"I understand, I understand! This Dao bone belongs to the saint!" Master Dao Yu was sensible and ran away quickly. As if she was afraid that Xia Mengyao would kill someone and silence her...

He thought that Xia Mengyao wanted to swallow this bone alone...

As soon as Master Daoyu left, the hall suddenly became much quieter.

Xiao Beichen: "Master Daoyu thought you wanted to swallow this bone for yourself."

Xia Mengyao glanced at Xiao Beichen: "It's not all because of your bad ideas."

Xiao Beichen: "..."

Fortunately, Xia Mengyao didn't say much and raised her hand to perform a Tai Chi diagram.

"Yu Qingjie!"

A peerless power from the Jade Pure Realm suddenly appeared and absorbed the Taoist bones.

The skeleton condensed and condensed, finally turning into a spine.

White, clear glass.

It's similar to the light tower I saw in the South Sand Dunes.

Xia Mengyao was extremely surprised when she saw it: "Is this the Tao Bone? Only Taoist masters in the Celestial Realm can cultivate the Tao Bone. I didn't expect to see it here."

"Give you!"

Without saying a word, Xia Mengyao directly gave the Dao Bone to Xiao Beichen.

Very free and easy!

He looks so cool!

Xiao Beichen took over the bone.

An unimaginable mysterious power shimmered in the bones of the Tao.

No less than Han Jade Bones!

Seeing Xiao Beichen trying to refine and absorb this bone, Xia Mengyao grabbed Xiao Beichen's hand fiercely: "Don't mess around. This is the Tao bone! The bones tempered by the master of the Taoist sect of the Celestial Realm contain unimaginable power and Mysterious meaning. If you absorb it, it will be gone in a matter of minutes."

"If you keep it by your side and look at it from time to time, you may be able to get a glimpse of the secrets of ancient Qi refining techniques."

Xiao Beichen finally came to his senses: "Will there be any secrets of ancient Qi refining techniques in it?"

Xia Mengyao said: "Since it is a Dao bone cultivated by a five-lord level boss, there should be some. But how many of them and how much you can understand depends on yourself."

Xiao Beichen nodded, accepted his words, and said to Xia Mengyao: "Mengyao, thank you. I will remember this great kindness. I will return it to you in the future."

Xia Mengyao was very free and easy: "It's not necessary yet. You have taken such a difficult path on your own, which is more dangerous than good. If you have more integrity by your side, you will have a better chance of winning."

These words made Xiao Beichen even more moved.

"Xiao Beichen, I have to go back to Taiqing Palace." Xia Mengyao looked outside the hall and said calmly.

Xiao Beichen looked gloomy.

It's time to say goodbye again.

Always so sad.

After a long time, Xiao Beichen said, "When will we see you again?"

Xia Mengyao: "You are too weak. Taiqing Palace and Taishang Daoxue are doing a big thing recently. Let's wait until you reach the inscription realm."

"Take care! See you in the world!"

"Finally, the food you cooked is delicious."

The voice fell and Xia Mengyao left.

Xiao Beichen was the only one left in the ancient palace.

He stood there, staring at the retreating figure, speechless for a long time.

Xia, Mengyao...

A woman who is more perverted than herself.

Every time we say goodbye, it's the same sentence - you are too weak.

just wait.

One day, we will meet again. You will say one thing - you are too strong.

You are too weak...I am really tired of hearing this sentence.

……

It was already late at night when we returned to the empress' residence.

The empress was still lazily leaning on the sofa and reading the ancient book.

Elegant and luxurious.

Xiao Beichen couldn't help but ask: "Master, what book are you reading? You have read it for so many years..."

The empress said calmly: "A very special book, the most special book in the world. This time I traveled around the world to find the author of this book."

When Xiao Beichen wanted to ask again, the empress obviously didn't want to talk about this topic anymore and interrupted: "Have you got the Dao Bone?"

Xiao Beichen took out the Dao Bone: "It is the path tempered by one of the Five Lords of the Taiqing Palace, the skeleton of the Taoist Master of the Celestial Realm. The secrets in it are too strong. I don't know if there are any records of ancient Qi refining techniques. Master, take a look." "

The empress put away the ancient book, sat up straight, took the Taoist bone, and took a closer look.

Then, the empress frowned slightly.

Xiao Beichen was shocked: "Is there really a secret to ancient Qi refining techniques? What is it above the celestial realm?"
