Why do they always want me to change my filial piety?

In this regard, King Zhenbei took the fifth step.

Boom!

The icy muffled sound was like a blow to the heart. With this step, the mountain skyrocketed, the black light lingered, and the runes exploded all over the sky.

Yingba's arms also exploded at the same time, and they were directly pressed into the bone ground, unable to get out.

At this moment, King Zhenbei stopped his figure in mid-air, holding the long sword intertwined with ghostly spirits in his hand, and slashed towards the oppressive bone ground of the mountain.

"Boom!"

The bone ground was split into two instantly, a deep ravine appeared, and Yingba's body was also split into two.

After beheading Yingba, King Zhenbei didn't make another move, but just stood in mid-air.

Under the gaze of Lu Ran and Xiao Xueqing.

Under the leadership of Youyun Eighteen Cavalry, the Yin soldiers of the Zhenbei Army killed all the Yin generals of the Monster and Barbarian tribes, and began to surround and kill the Yin soldiers of the Monster and Barbarian tribes. Even Yingba's mount, the Wild Elephant, was devoured by the tiger bone beast. do.

In the arena, the sound of fighting continued.

King Zhenbei's eyes fell on Lu Ran and Xiao Xueqing, the coldness and gloom in his eyes did not decrease, he raised the long sword in his hand, and slashed it down.

Lu Ran and Xiao Xueqing didn't make any killings, nor did they condense their true energy, they just stared blankly at that domineering and indifferent figure.

Because from the beginning to the end, neither of them felt any killing intent from King Zhenbei.

"Stab!"

A jet-black sword glow pierced the world, the terrifying evil spirit was cut off, and a gap appeared in midair.

Lu Ran and Xiao Xueqing, who were hugging the little fox, found themselves covered by a cold light curtain, submerged in the gap, and disappeared instantly.

After the two of them left together, the gap was once again filled with infinite evil spirit.

As time went by, the Yin soldiers of the Northern Zhenbei Army killed all the Yin soldiers of the monster and barbarian race, and the killing stopped.

Youyun Eighteen Riders went into the copper coffin again, and countless Yin soldiers of the Zhenbei Army in the field also submerged into the bone ground, as if they had never appeared before.

Immediately afterwards, the tiger-shaped bone beast also returned to the bone field under the throne.

The figure of King Zhenbei reappeared on the throne at some point, closed his cold eyes, and fell into a deep sleep.

The bone land returned to tranquility, only the howling sound of the sinister cold wind remained, witnessing the end of this great battle.

Chapter 8 Xiao Jing, Xiao Jing?

Outside the Yinyu Plain, with a gust of wind blowing past, wisps of crimson moonlight shone down, and there were two more people and one fox.

Sensing the appearance of a familiar aura, a cyan light group swept out from the dense bushes, flew to Xiao Xueqing's side, and looked at Lu Ran and the little fox vigilantly.

The little fox raised his head, looked at the blue bird, and blinked his black and white button eyes. He seemed to find it very interesting, and looked at him.

But at this moment, Lu Ran and Xiao Xueqing recalled the scene just now, they were both silent, speechless for a long time.

They didn't expect that there were so many Yin soldiers and Yin generals hidden in Shayuan, even King Zhenbei was among them.

While thinking, Xiao Xueqing took out a radiant soul card from the ring, bit her red lips lightly with her white teeth, and couldn't believe it: "Are you really Xiaoran?"

Lu Ran smiled slightly, and slowly responded, "En!"

When he was in the palace, apart from his mother and concubine, Xiao Xueqing was by his side the most.

Although she was still a baby at that time, the soul is not a baby, so I remember her.

"Xiao Ran!"

After getting an affirmative answer, Xiao Xueqing's beautiful eyes were covered with a layer of mist, and she hugged the person in front of her tightly, her delicate body trembling slightly, and the emotions that had been suppressed for more than ten years could no longer be restrained.

Seeing Xiao Xueqing's sad appearance, Lu Ran sighed lightly, and didn't say anything, just quietly waiting for her to vent her emotions.

Back then, the king of Zhenbei died in battle, and his mother and concubine were attacked and killed. Their lives and deaths were unknown. She lost all her relatives overnight.

At that time, she was still a girl in her early ten years.

I have a master to take me in, what about her?

I can only bear everything alone!

After a while, after all the suppressed emotions in her heart were vented, Xiao Xueqing let go of Lu Ran, wiped away the tears from her eyes with her slender hands, and asked softly, "What happened back then?"

"My concubine and I were attacked and killed..."

Lu Ran pondered for a while, and after using Yin-Yang Taoism to cover up the area, he revealed everything he knew.

Including the dissipation of the soul imprint left by the mother and concubine in the jade pendant, nothing was concealed.

"So you have been in Youzhou all these years!"

"It's a pity that Aunt Xue..."

Xiao Xueqing was already mentally prepared, but she still felt extremely uncomfortable when she heard the news.

She was adopted by King Zhenbei since she was a child and stayed in the Prince Zhenbei's mansion.

Whether it is the King of Zhenbei, or the later Princess of Zhenbei, they all regard her as their own and take good care of her.

And in Xiao Xueqing's heart, she already regarded the two of them and Lu Ran as relatives, but she never thought that such an accident would happen later.

As if remembering something, Lu Ran took a deep breath and asked, "Sister Xueqing, just now in the evil abyss, the Aunt Jing you mentioned was..."

King Zhenbei, named Xiao Jing!

And his name is Xiao Ran.

But in Shayuan, Xiao Xueqing called "Aunt Jing"!

Is it possible...

Meeting his gaze, Xiao Xueqing said slowly: "Aunt Jing is the King of Zhenbei."

"She is the last heir of the Xiao clan. In order to protect the northern border, she was renamed Xiao Jing at birth. She used the secret method of the Xiao clan to conceal her identity as a woman, and then became the king of Dayu Zhenbei..."

This is also a secret that she only knew after she took charge of the Zhenbei Palace!

It is the mission of the Xiao family to guard the northern border from generation to generation.

Lu Ran looked bitter: "Then who am I?"

Zhenbei Wang Xiao Jing and his mother and concubine are both women, so they can't give birth to children at all. Could it be that he was also adopted?

What should his name be Xiao Jing?

As if afraid that Lu Ran would develop a grudge, Xiao Xueqing held his hand and comforted him softly: "There is no record of this in the notes left by Aunt Jing!"

"However, even if there is no blood relationship, the relationship between us is still an inseparable existence."

Lu Ran suppressed the boredom in his heart, and changed the subject: "Why did Sister Xueqing come to Shayuan?"

Xiao Xueqing's expression was extremely complicated: "To confirm whether Aunt Jing is still alive."

Lu Ran looked surprised, and asked with some puzzlement: "Is there something abnormal about the soul lamp in the palace?"

"En!" Xiao Xueqing nodded, and continued: "After the battle in the Yinyu Plain, Aunt Jing's soul lamp went out."

"But after about half a year, the soul lamp lights up again."

"It's just that the ignited soul flame is only a trace, flickering on and off, very strange."

She never told anyone about it, but kept it in her heart.

It wasn't until he was approved by the most treasured spring and autumn glazed lamp of Bailu Academy that he prepared for many years before he came to Shayuan.

"Aunt Jing's current state is very strange."

"Although she can't feel any vitality, she doesn't have the deadly aura of Yin soldiers, and she still retains a trace of sanity." Mentioning this, Lu Ran frowned.

After he and Xiao Xueqing entered Boneland, from the beginning to the end, neither of them felt any killing intent from Xiao Jing.

Xiao Xueqing guessed: "It may be the reason for Aunt Jing's strong strength, or there is some treasure on her body that can resist the erosion of the strange pattern and the evil spirit, and retain that trace of sanity."

The cold figure sitting on the throne flashed across his mind, and Lu Ran was a little puzzled: "The key is, how did Aunt Jing recognize us?"

Xiao Xueqing is fine, she was adopted by Xiao Jing since she was a child, so it is possible to recognize her aura.

But I have never met Xiao Jing before, this time Sha Yuan is the first meeting between the two, so how can they recognize him?

Xiao Xueqing explained: "The Xiao family has only one mission for generations, and that is to guard the northern border. This is an imprint engraved on the soul and cannot be erased."

"Aunt Jing probably didn't recognize us, but regarded us as citizens of the northern border, so she didn't have any killing intent."

"Just like the battle in the Yinyu Plain 16 years ago, with 30 Zhenbei troops facing the monster barbarian army of 50, even if Shayuan appeared, she never led the troops to retreat."

"Because Aunt Jing knows that once they evacuate, the army of monsters and barbarians will definitely take the opportunity to attack the North City. At that time, the entire North Territory will be devastated, with countless casualties."

"If it weren't for this, I wouldn't be swallowed by the evil abyss in the end!"

Lu Ran's expression was in a trance, and his heart was extremely heavy.

The mission of generations is to protect the people of the northern border even if they sacrifice themselves, even if they know they will be swallowed by the evil abyss, even if they are in that strange state of insanity.

This is King Zhenbei—Xiao Jing!

Lu Ran took a deep breath and asked, "Who is guarding the northern border now?"

Xiao Xueqing was expressionless: "King of Huaiyin, Yu Mu!"

Hearing this, Lu Ran narrowed his eyes.

All princes with the surname Yu are relatives of the royal family.

And this King Huaiyin is the younger brother of the current Emperor Zhende.

If he is in charge of the northern border, it is equivalent to firmly controlling the northern border in the hands of the royal family.

If according to his guess, the killing of the Northern Army and the Yaoman Army in the Yinyu Plain 16 years ago was the mastermind behind the scenes of Emperor Joan, then the royal family would benefit the most.

Although 30 Zhenbei troops were exterminated, which reduced Dayu's luck, but the monster barbarians were also killed by 50 troops, which may also seriously hurt their vitality.

In this case, the two sides will definitely not break out again in a short time.

And taking advantage of this opportunity, Emperor Zhende not only got rid of his confidant, the King of the North, but also firmly controlled the northern border. What a good way!

Chapter 9 The third object of filial piety

Seemingly understanding what Lu Ran was thinking, a trace of coldness flashed in Xiao Xueqing's beautiful eyes: "I came to Shayuan with another purpose, which is to find out the truth of that year."

She suspected that the battle in the Yinyu Plain was not as simple as it appeared on the surface.

And after entering Shayuan, she confirmed her guess.

"The bone land and cold pool in Shayuan are actually a special terrain."

"The cold pool is a yin tomb, the bone land is a yang tomb, embracing yin and yang, separated by filthy stone gates, can keep the resentment of the dead lingering, the clothes are getting thicker and thicker, coupled with the fusion of horror and evil, it is bound to become Yin soldiers and generals!"

Lu Ran showed a clear look, he didn't know much about the terrain of the road, so naturally he didn't recognize it.

But after Xiao Xueqing said this, it confirmed the previous guess in her heart.

The countless demon and barbarian troops and the Zhenbei army were all murdered.

The purpose is to refine Yin soldiers and Yin generals.

In the great battle that year, the total number of troops on both sides was more than 80. If they were all turned into yin soldiers and yin generals, and someone could control them, it would definitely be a big killer for one side.

When Yin soldiers cross the border, not a single blade of grass grows. This sentence is not just a saying.

After pondering for a while, Xiao Xueqing guessed: "Such evil means, coupled with the fact that the person who can hide from the Wangfu's eyeliner and deploy in the Yinyu Plain, may be related to the top forces of the Demonic Dao."

Lu Ran narrowed his eyes, and revealed the name of this force: "The Nether Ghost Dao!"

This side is extremely powerful and can be compared with Yin Yang Fa Tian.

Netherworld, also known as Hades, is a terrifying force that has existed since ancient times.

There are rumors that this force controls the law of the six realms of reincarnation, not only cultivating the supreme ghost way, but also dispatching yin soldiers and yin generals.

And the means of the yin tomb and yang sha in Shayuan are exactly the same as those of the Nether Ghost Dao.

Lu Ran's heart was extremely heavy: "What is the relationship between the Nether Ghost Dao, Emperor Zhende, and the Yin soldiers and Yin generals in Shayuan?"

The Dayu Dynasty itself is a first-class force.

It would not be a good thing for him if he had anything to do with top demon forces like Nether Ghost Dao.
