Chapter 488 Tai Sui
This Flying Fish Suit inherited the usual regeneration standard, and the only additional effect was to increase Anti's speed in abnormal weather conditions.
As for what is abnormal weather, Jasmine explained that all unnatural weather and some very bad weather meet this condition.
Anyway, Anti is wearing this bloody rain, so just treat it as the "free and easy" feature. Acceleration in the rain!
Now Anti can also guest star as Rainy Day Brothers.
When Xu Chen came back after vomiting, he saw Anti, wearing a flying fish suit, sitting on the chair with an air of dignity. He was almost scared and ran away again.
I thought people from the Demon Suppression Division were coming to kill us!
"Master... why did you suddenly change your clothes? And you changed into this..." Xu Chen asked stiffly.
"When you get to Xuanjing, keep a low profile." An Ti made up an excuse.
Is flying fish clothing something that can be kept low-key?!
Obviously this reason is a bit too perfunctory.
Xu Chen didn't care too much about it. Anyway, in terms of conspicuousness, it would be no different from the coat he wore before in Xuanjing. It's just that the style might be more in line with Xuanshang.
"Master, who was that just now?"
"friend."
"Master, you have a monster friend." He blurted out, then suddenly realized that the other party might not have left yet, so he covered his mouth carefully.
"She is a human being, just treat her as a magical power."
"Oh, it's a person." Although he had never heard of any magical power that could allow one to move in and out of someone else's shadow, he took the master's words seriously.
I had to drink the rest of the wine. It was good wine that I had spent money on, and I really couldn't bear to do that.
After paying the money, they continued to rush to Xuanshang in the rain.
An Ti put on a black gauze hat to keep out the rain, which was given by Jasmine. She had originally prepared a bamboo hat for Xu Chen, but now the monster sister would not give it to him.
In Xu Chen's view, An Ti now doesn't look like a deity. Although he didn't look like one originally, he looked very strange at that time. Now dressed like this, he looks like a big shot from the court. The black veil covers his face and his true appearance cannot be seen clearly.
What Xu Chen also wanted to say was that veil hats are usually worn by women. He still felt that bamboo hats were what men in the martial arts world should wear, as they looked more handsome.
But it was useless for him to say it. Didn’t Anti know that?
How can I not wear it since it was given by Jasmine?
When approaching the gate of Xuanjing City, Anti stopped.
Although Xuanjing has become like this now, due to the activities of the Blood Alliance and the frequent strange things happening in the city, supervision can be said to be a hundred times stricter than before.
It is not easy to enter and exit. It doesn’t matter to ordinary people, but we will investigate those so-called people with ulterior motives.
Barolan also told him not to enter the city casually. Barolan could guess with her toes that based on the way Anti had come in and destroyed the house, he might have to give Xuanjing a severe warning once he entered the city.
An Ti will be fine, but Xuan Jing may have a big event. It doesn't matter if there is a big event, the problem is that the current security is already strict enough, and if it is stricter, it will be bad for the actions of the Blood Alliance in the city, so it is better for An Ti not to be too impatient.
Anti took out a drop of blood outside the city to send a signal.
After a while, among the countless carriages going out, a carriage finally came out that was heading into the city.
The carriage stopped by the roadside for a while.
Familiar smell.
An Ti understood what he meant and walked over with Xu Chen and got on the carriage.
The carriage then drove into the city and stopped at the city gate for a while. No one knew how things worked here, but there was no inspection at all, and the carriage just carried them into the city.
Anti looked at the person sitting in the front of the carriage. He was an old acquaintance, but Anti was only averagely familiar with him. Maybe Nie Hong was more familiar with him.
Qi Yang, a charlatan who told Nie Hong's fortune in Luoqidu and tricked him into coming to Xuanshang, and also gave him the "secret martial arts book".
To put it bluntly, he might be the culprit behind Nie Hong's current misfortune.
Of course it doesn't make sense. If Nie Hong hadn't met him and Barolan when he came out of the boundary between reality and illusion and landed in the Tianwei Secret Realm, he would have died in the secret realm long ago. Barolan had also told him about this when they contacted each other before.
"Long time no see, Lord Anti." Qi Yang greeted him in a casual manner.
I sighed in my heart, I really couldn't stop it.
What was supposed to happen finally happened. He didn't have the ability to do so in the first place, and it didn't really matter to him now.
After so many years of going out to recruit people, I came back and found that Xuanshang's performance was worse than expected. The situation was serious and the events were beyond my expectations. Many of my original plans had to go down the drain.
Now that Anti is here, Xuan Shang might be able to give him a fight.
"Nie Hong..." An Ti went straight to the point.
Qi Yang paused and said, "I know. Besides coming to pick you up, I also came to explain this matter to you."
"After we received Nie Hong in the Sky Curtain Secret Realm, Nie Hong followed us and trained himself in the process of traveling through the Sky Curtain Secret Realm. He learned a lot from my secret book. I knew that his talent was suitable... After arriving in Xuanshang, the bloody storm here exceeded my expectations. The deterioration of Xuanshang is far beyond our imagination."
"I really didn't expect that thing would eventually fall into the hands of the royal family. That thing was a strangely born freak. It was originally just a legend recorded in the folks. Who would have thought that one day it would develop into a bloody storm? The endless bloody rain on Xuanshang was caused by it."
"What on earth is that?" Xu Chen asked curiously.
Qi Yang glanced at him and replied: "Born and raised by nature, gathering the essence of all things, this is 'Taisui'!"
"Taisui? It is said that eating Taisui can prolong life and make one immortal?" Xu Chen's eyes lit up.
"Oh, immortality, ridiculous immortality!" Qi Yang sighed with emotion.
"It was for this kind of immortality that, in the beginning, all parties failed to make up their minds to eradicate this evil fetus in time. In order to fight for it, the entire Xuanshang was in turmoil. After confirming its true existence, everyone went crazy."
"The blood shed in the fight and killing has become the nourishment of the evil fetus. When I came to my senses, the thing was about to come alive and became powerful. The whole Xuanshang was in ruins."
Xu Chen suddenly realized: "The great turmoil my parents mentioned before turned out to be referring to this!"
Qi Yang looked at An Ti and said, "When we came back, we found that Tai Sui had fallen into the hands of the court and was sent to the royal family. But since he is in the hands of the royal family, why hasn't the blood rain stopped? This matter is far from being resolved, and it has even worsened."
"After we came back, we immediately started preparing to attack the royal family and confirm the situation so that we could seize Tai Sui. With the help of many capable people, the plan was safe. Who would have thought that the depths of the palace had turned into a devil's cave? We don't know how the people in the court used Tai Sui to turn into demons. Only then did we realize that those officials and nobles had also turned into devils."
"There were heavy casualties in that battle. Although the old emperor was unrecognizable, his power has returned to its peak, and even surpassed it. There is also a lot of demonic energy among his followers, so we should not be underestimated. We were scattered in the chaos, and little brother Nie Hong fell into the Lingshan Imperial Mausoleum, which is where they raise Tai Sui."
"After that, I was weak but somehow I was helped by a powerful but familiar and strange Qi and blood, and was sent out of the palace. Thinking back, I realized that the familiar feeling was Nie Hong's Qi and blood. Not only me, but also many heroes were helped by this Qi and blood. He must not be dead yet, and can still use his Qi and blood to help us, but now he is trapped in the imperial mausoleum, and I don't know what the situation is like."
As Qi Yang spoke, his face was sad and his eyes were red, unable to hide his self-blame.
He did not regret recruiting Nie Hong, because this was his duty when he went out. But after getting along with her, although he did not dislike Nie Hong's personality, he was inevitably moved by her persistence.
They should have taken good care of Nie Hong, but they failed in their duty. Not only did they fail to take care of her, but they were rescued by Nie Hong instead.
On the one hand, this further proves that his decision to recruit Nie Hong was correct.
On the other hand, he couldn't be happy with the result at all.
"I have done my duty. I am too weak to help you. Lord Anti, you and Nie Hong are good friends. If you are unhappy with us, you can kill me when you get there and let me die to atone for my crime. I only ask that you don't have any opinion on us and at least lend us a helping hand."
"This great Xuan has come to an end, but on Xuanshang... there are still thousands of lights waiting..."
As he spoke, Qi Yang suddenly stood up, knelt down and kowtowed in the carriage.
Xu Chen felt uncomfortable when he saw this scene.
That dog emperor got the "fruit" of immortality, but instead of creating the prosperous era, he made things worse. Now, those who are determined to save people from suffering have to kneel down and beg the immortal master for mercy for his mistake.
This world...
"It doesn't matter, get up. We'll talk about it when we get there." Anti didn't say anything more. After saying this coldly, he slowly closed his eyes and stopped talking.
But Qi Yang did not stand up. As the carriage swayed as it moved, he remained kneeling without moving.
Xu Chen lifted the curtain and glanced out the window, looking at the rain.
He was thinking about the history books he read in his childhood, all of which boasted about the prosperity of dynasties, but in the end the endings were always so sad.
But now Daxuan's ending is even more twisted, ugly and inhuman.
Even if this matter is settled, the new dynasty will probably still follow this path.
Is this world really owned by the common people?
