Chapter 361 Embers of the Heart
Ning Wuxie and Xuan'er were startled, but when they looked back, they saw the middle-aged men sitting on the ground looked at Ning Wuxie deeply, then stood up at the same time, picked up the packages on the ground, and went into the woods on the right.
Ning Wuxie was stunned, turned around and continued to walk forward with Xuan'er, then picked a place and went into the woods on the right.
After pushing aside the bushes and passing through a group of trees, Ning Wuxie really saw the three middle-aged men and the child! They were standing there waiting for him.
White flames were seen steaming out from the three middle-aged men like smoke, drifting and flying into a lantern in the hand of the little boy.
Ning Wuxie was stunned, he recognized this thing.
It was Ye Yong's "Hidden Flame"!
As the hidden flame peeled off, the three middle-aged men also showed their true form, which was Wuyuan Zhenren, Xiao Qiuxian and You Youshan!
Ning Wuxie opened his eyes wide, how dare they show their true form here, and hurriedly walked over in panic.
As soon as he approached the three people, Wu Yuan raised his hand: "It's okay, there is a formation set up by Qiu Xian here, no one can detect it."
Ning Wuxie was relieved, it turned out that they had been prepared for a long time.
He looked at the three people, Wu Yuan and You Youshan were no different from the past, but Xiao Qiuxian surprised her a little.
She looked natural and peaceful, not like she had suffered a huge blow...
Could she have come out of it?
"Is the child born?" Wu Yuan asked at this time.
"Yes." Ning Wuxie nodded, "It's Ning Chen, it's been seven months."
"Is everything normal?"
"Yes, everything is fine."
Several people were obviously relieved. As a fairy spirit, Xuan'er's childbirth is still quite worrying.
"How long have you been in Dongli Mountain?"
"Half a year."
"... As expected, I guessed you would come, but we also dare not leave the Strange Fire Tower."
Wu Yuan stroked his beard and said, "You are right. Ye Qingxuan has already put all the Snow Dragon Ridge in the northern border, Dongli Mountain in the eastern wilderness, and the Sorrow Cloud River in Nanzhao under surveillance. Except for the disciples of the Strange Fire Tower, any other cultivators in the four towns of Dongli who appear here will be kidnapped by the human sect... or Ye Qingxuan's men."
"He actually did it so ruthlessly?" Ning Wuxie was surprised. This was no different from the practice of the devil.
What will happen to those kidnapped cultivators? Kill them all?
You Youshan said, "The situation is very critical. We are almost unable to control the situation in the Fire Tower, but fortunately you are here."
"Ye Liang told me that the elders of the Fire Tower tried to ask the Human Sect for help to drive you away..."
"Yes," Wu Yuan smiled bitterly, "I really can't explain it, but now that you are back, the position of the Flame Emperor can be handed over to you, justified, and the elders won't say anything."
"Will the Human Sect know that I am the Flame Emperor?"
"No, the Fire Tower has always been closed and low-key, and it does not regard itself as a righteous path, and of course it will not tell the Human Sect. After you become the Flame Emperor, stabilize the situation in the sect and let those people continue to study the Fire with peace of mind."
Ning Wuxie nodded, but then realized something, raised his head, and looked a little sad.
"So... Senior Yan Xiao is really..."
"I'm here."
The immature voice of the boy came, Ning Wuxie looked down, and it turned out to be that handsome little boy!
"?" Ning Wuxie and Xuan'er opened their eyes at the same time, looking at the child who was no more than 8 years old.
"What?" The little boy smiled and turned to look at Xiao Qiuxian: "Qiuqiu, you tell them." He was only as tall as Xiao Qiuxian's waist, but when he said this, he naturally put his hand on Xiao Qiuxian's thigh. Xiao Qiuxian looked at the expressions of Ning Wuxie and the others and laughed, touching the boy's head and said: "This is your Senior Yan, the real one, the legendary 'Emperor Yan'." "Resurrection was successful?!" Ning Wuxie said in surprise. "Well, the heart embers contain the owner's flesh and blood, and are connected to the owner's soul. Once the owner dies, the soul will instantly escape back to the embers and wait for resurrection." Xiao Qiuxian said with a smile, with a hint of pride in his expression: "But after all, it is a thousand-year-old holy-level magic weapon, and it is a bit difficult to activate, but I still managed to study it." "Unfortunately, this guy was too stingy when he stored his flesh and blood. That little blood was only enough to shape his appearance when he was eight years old, so it became like this..." Xiao Qiuxian looked down on him, but his eyes were full of tenderness when he looked down at Yan Xiao. Little Yan Xiao smiled bitterly, "I didn't know the relationship between storing flesh and blood and reshaping the body in the future at that time." Don't say it, his bitter smile really has the flavor of Yan Xiao, handsome and mature. "It's so..." Ning Wuxie was shocked, "This heart ember is really magical... Congratulations to the two of you." "What's there to congratulate, he's so old now, how can he marry me?" Xiao Qiuxian pushed Yan Xiao with his thigh, and the latter shook his body, but his expression was very happy. "You've waited for three hundred years, can't you wait ten years now?" You Youshan complained, and everyone laughed softly.
Ning Wuxie also found it funny. Xiao Qiuxian, a mature and beautiful woman, paired with an eight-year-old boy, this combination is really...
But in just ten years, Yan Xiao will return to the appearance of an adult, or even younger. Xiao Qiuxian is really blessed.
"Then isn't this a blessing in disguise, senior? Not only has he won the heart of senior Qiuxian, but his body has also become younger." Ning Wuxie said.
"No," Yan Xiao waved his hand and explained in a young boy's voice: "The Ember of the Heart is a holy magic weapon after all. It has been destroyed this time, and it also consumed fifty years of my life."
Ning Wuxie was stunned.
"So, after I grow up and my physical form is fixed, I will age faster than ordinary people, unless I can advance to the realm of cultivation."
"The senior's cultivation..."
"There is some loss, but not much," Yan Xiao lowered his head and said, "It is still slowly recovering, but it should not fall out of the fairyland in the end."
"After all, the Ember of the Heart is a holy-level magic weapon. It is impossible to have no cost and side effects at all," Master Wuyuan said from the side. "If it were replaced by the Phoenix Emperor's Furnace of Life in history, it would be possible to achieve perfection instantly after death. Resurrection without damaging the artifact."
Ning Wuxie nodded, "That's already good, I'm really lucky..."
"Then since senior is already fine, why do you still want me to be the Emperor Yan?"
"First, because my cultivation has not yet recovered, and second, because I look like a child now. No one in the Strange Fire Tower recognizes me. Even if I stand up, no one will believe me."
Yan Xiao said helplessly: "It's not even as good as you who possesses the Heavenly Fire Order."
"Third, for the long-term plan, in the next ten years, we can release the news of my death to confuse Ye Qingxuan, so as to interfere with his judgment."
Yan Xiao said in a "deep voice", although for a child's voice, no matter how deep it is, it is still very immature.
"Of course, not now, but after we obtain the East China Sea artifact. If the news about the replacement of Yan Emperor in the Strange Fire Tower is released, Ye Qingxuan will know about it."
Ning Wuxie nodded, this was indeed a good idea.
Ye Qingxuan would think that his side's combat power has been severely damaged. In fact, we can suddenly bring out a strong man at the level of an immortal.
It will definitely exceed his expectations.
But that will all happen later. Right now, their target is still the artifact on the East China Sea.
"So, what are our plans next?" Ning Wuxie asked, "I don't know how they arranged it."
"First, take you back to the Strange Fire Tower to stabilize the situation." Wu Yuan said, "Second, let you escape from Qingluo Town without any suspicion."
"Then, we will set off eastward to the Penglai Islands!"
