I Don't Know Martial Art Chapter 381

Chapter 381 - Northwest Beast Upheaval

"Ah, to the Dragon City now?" Xiang Yun looked at Xiang Lei in shock, "Big brother, didn't I say that I would be leaving in a month? Why would I be leaving now?"

Xiang Jinglei's face was calm as he said, "I thought about it after we returned to the Cold Mountain Pa.s.s. I felt that it would be better for you to leave immediately, get used to the environment and help me deliver a letter to Crown Prince Xiang Qian."

"This?" Xiang Yun was stunned. He still felt that Xiang Lei's arrangements had been too hasty.

"Big brother, what kind of letter would need to be sent now, and I'm very familiar with the Dragon City, so I don't need to be familiar with the environment at all? Furthermore, I was planning to return to Qingfeng City first. "

Xiang Yun had already decided long ago that he would first return to Qin Feng City to see the state of construction of the sect, and also to bring the Meng mother and daughter back to the Dragon City.

Hearing that Xiang Yun wanted to return to Qin Feng City, the previously calm Xiang Jinglei's eyebrows shot up, his expression changing slightly. However, this expression was quickly concealed by him, not being discovered by Xiang Yun.

"Don't go back to the Qin Feng City for now. Worse comes to worst, we can go back after attending the Grand Examination. This letter is very urgent and concerns the safety of my northwestern border. Help me deliver it first!" Xiang Jinglei said solemnly.

Hearing that this letter actually concerned the safety of the northwest border, Xiang Yun immediately fell silent. Since Xiang Jinglei had said this, what else could be more important? Xiang Yun could only change his mind; he would first go to Dragon City to partic.i.p.ate in the Grand Examination, then return to Qin Feng City.

Xiang Jinglei urged him urgently, and Xiang Yun did not have the time to say his farewells to the crowd. He could only bid his farewells to the mother and daughter of the Meng Family, and ask Xiang Jinglei to take care of them.

Upon seeing Xiang Yun arrive, Xiao Ding did not dare to delay and immediately pulled his daughter along to pay his respects. Xiang Yun hurriedly supported the two as he said his farewells. Upon hearing that Xiang Yun was about to leave today, Xiao Ling'er could not help but blurt out, "How could he leave so quickly!"

Xiang Yun and Xiao Ding looked at Xiao Ling'Er at the same time. Xiao Ling'Er immediately regretted it. Her face turned red as she avoided looking at Xiang Yun.

However, Xiang Yun did not care about this. He only told them that he was going to Dragon City to partic.i.p.ate in the Grand Examination and that he would be leaving today.

Hearing that Xiang Yun was going to partic.i.p.ate in the Grand Examination, Xiao Ling'er's eyes lit up, then dimmed.

The Grand Examination was a gathering that every young martial artist of the Windcloud Nation yearned to partic.i.p.ate in, but none of the people that were able to partic.i.p.ate in and obtain a ranking weren't the best of the younger generation.

Even though Xiao Ling'Er thought herself to be part of her circle and her swordsmans.h.i.+p was not weak, she was still far from entering Wind Cloud Academy. She and Xiang Yun were destined to be people from different worlds.

Even though Xiao Ding had repeatedly hinted at Xiao Ling'Er and gave her encouraging looks, Xiao Ling'Er had only said one word to Xiang Yun in the end!

"Take care!"

"The two of you take care of yourselves. We'll meet again in the future due to fate!"

Xiang Yun also cupped his hands together, not wanting to stay any longer. He turned and left, leaving behind only the figure of a person slowly disappearing into the distance, carrying a gigantic sword on his back.

Even after Xiang Yun had left, Xiao Ling`er was still blankly staring at the air outside the door, as if she was looking for a familiar figure, her eyes a little blurry.

When Xiao Ding saw his daughter's dazed appearance, he couldn't help but sigh and say, "Ah, if you can't bear to leave, then why didn't you open your mouth?"

However, Xiao Ling`er's gaze was still unfocused. She only mumbled to herself, "If he was just an ordinary person, how wonderful would that be?"

"Ah …" Xiao Ding once again let out a long sigh. He knew what his daughter was thinking in her heart but did not know how to console her.

Other than the back of Tiger City, Xiang Yun had chosen a BMW at the Cold City Pa.s.s. Because he had a storage ring, he did not need to carry any luggage, and he only needed to walk lightly. After pa.s.sing through Three Yang City, Xiang Yun had traveled south for half a day, but his speed had become slower and slower, and the more he traveled, the more he felt that something was wrong!

He suddenly felt that this matter was rather strange. Previously, Xiang Lei had been pressing things very urgently, and in addition to the tense situation in Tiger City, it had affected most of Xiang Yun's mental state, causing him to have no time to think about it. However, now that they were running along the wide public road, Xiang Yun had calmed down and immediately discovered that something was amiss.

He felt as if he was pa.s.sively pus.h.i.+ng forward as he rushed towards the southeast direction. Old Liang took him away from Qin Feng City in a hurry and then left him at Dragon Town. He didn't even say goodbye before he returned.

The two of them had clearly agreed that they would leave the Tiger City in a month's time, but he suddenly told them to set off immediately without any warning, allowing them to set foot on the road south.

It would be reasonable if one of these two things happened alone, but if they happened together, it would be somewhat strange.

Xiang Yun suddenly remembered that the expression on Xiang Jinglei's face when he had spoken to him today was a little unnatural. Especially when he mentioned returning to Qin Feng City, his aura had clearly moved a little.

Xiang Yun had not paid much attention to this at the time. Now that he thought about it, an expert like Xiang Jinglei being in such a situation was definitely not a normal occurrence.

"That's not right!" There must be a problem! " Xiang Yun suddenly reined his horse in place, his mind racing.

"Why did you let me go to Tiger City first and then go south?" Xiang Yun thought about it as a map gradually formed in his mind. He suddenly realized that he seemed to be constantly moving in a direction that was far away from Qin Feng City.

"Wait a minute!"

A thought suddenly flashed through Xiang Yun's mind as he thought of something!

It was the letter that Luo Ning had left him after leaving the Silvermoon Forest. He remembered that Luo Ning had told him that he had to leave the city within a month or he would be killed!

Back then, Xiang Yun had thought that Luo Ning would be trying to take revenge on him with Gu Liu's help. Now that he thought of Old Liang and his big brother's actions, Xiang Yun had suddenly realized something!

"Not good, could something have happened in the northwest?"

Thinking up to here, Xiang Yun abruptly took out the letter that Xiang Lei had given him and placed into his storage ring. On it were clearly written in bold and forceful characters: 'Ding Lei Pen, Crown Prince Xiang Gan Qingqi'.

Xiang Yun suddenly thought, if this was related to the situation at the northwest border, how would Xiang Jinglei contact Xiang Qian? Even if there really was a secret plan, why not directly talk to him and have him send a message to Xiang Qian?

The more he thought about it, the weirder things got. In the end, Xiang Yun could not hold back the curiosity in his heart. He tore open the letter within the envelope and with a shake of his hand, the contents of the letter appeared before him.

The snow-white letter only had four big words written on it!

"Keep Xiang Yun!"

Seeing these words, Xiang Yun's face immediately turned ashen, his body trembling. He had an extremely bad premonition in his heart!

[Why did my big brother ask me to leave and ask the Crown Prince to keep me here? Did something really happen?] Was it Tiger City, Silver City, or Qin Feng City?

At this moment, Xiang Yun no longer had any thoughts of hurrying on his way. He felt anxious and agitated at the same time as he stirred the cloud energy in his hands. The envelope and letter instantly turned into fine powder!

In the end, Xiang Yun actually abandoned his war horse and jumped down. He activated the Hundred Transformations of Perfection to the extreme, rus.h.i.+ng towards his destination at lightning speed without caring about the loss of Yun Li!

He wanted to find out what exactly had happened, and why Xiang Jinglei had hidden it from him!

With Xiang Yun's current cultivation and movement technique, his speed would far surpa.s.s that of a war horse in a short period of time. In just two hours, Xiang Yun had already pa.s.sed through Three Yang City in a single breath, arriving at the cold city gates!

Xiang Yun, whose entire body was drenched in sweat, raised his head to look at the pavilion above the majestic city gates, his eyes filled with wisdom …

With a flash of light, a plan appeared in his mind.

Not long after, a dignified man in bright armor with a solemn expression appeared in front of the cold city gates. The guards on both sides, upon seeing this, immediately dropped to one knee, bowing and greeting, "Greetings, Great General!"

"En!" The indifferent Xiang Jinglei nodded and stepped into the tower. He turned around and closed the door!

When the guards on both sides saw Xiang Jinglei walking in, a look of doubt appeared on their faces.

One of them scratched his head and asked, "Oh, the great general just went out. Why is he back?"

The other person looked doubtful as well. "That's true. And I remember that when the general left, he wasn't wearing this armor?"

"But this is clearly the Great General himself, is it really that strange?"

While the guards outside looked at each other, feeling puzzled in their hearts, Xiang Jinglei had already walked up the stairs to the second floor and entered the study room. Normally, Ding Jinglei would review official doc.u.ments here.

The moment he stepped into the room, he immediately closed the door and rushed in front of the desk, quickly flipping through the books, envelopes, and scrolls on the desk. Numerous reports of war and secret orders appeared before Xiang Yun's eyes, but he did not care in the slightest!

When he flipped to the last page, there was a blood-stained letter lying at the bottom of the table with the back facing up!

Xiang Jinglei clearly saw the signature at the bottom of the letter. It was the official seal of the Grand Guard of the Western Lion Country. The Western Lion County was located at the northwest border and was divided into Qin Feng City.

The contents of the letter were very short and the handwriting was somewhat messy. It was obvious that the person who wrote the letter must have been in a panic. Xiang Lei's eyes focused on the contents of the letter.

"The three counties in the north are in a hurry. A beast tide broke out in the Silvermoon Forest in the northwest. Several tens of thousands of civilians and soldiers were killed within three days. Our county's army fought bravely, but we were still unable to withstand half of the casualties."

"Beast Upheaval!" Xiang Jinglei's voice seemed to be trembling!

However, right at this moment, the door suddenly opened and a figure rushed into the room at lightning speed.

"How dare you!"

The man's imposing figure was like a rainbow, his thunderous roar reverberating in the room!

"Ugh …"

However, when he saw the man who looked exactly like him standing in front of the desk, he was stunned!

Immediately after, his gaze became gloomy as the lightning spear in his hand condensed. The entire room was filled with the power of lightning as a strong killing intent surged out from his body!

"Who are you? How dare you put on an appearance like mine, what is your intention? "

Facing Xiang Lianglei's fury, the other Xiang Lianglei in the room stood motionlessly in front of the desk, looking at the blood-stained letter in his hand. His body was trembling slightly, and his eyes were gradually starting to turn red.

Seeing that, Xiang Jinglei frowned, a murderous look in his eyes as he prepared to attack!

At this moment, the person facing him slowly turned his head to look at him. A pair of blood-red eyes were like a wild beast that had gone berserk!

Xiang Jinglei was slightly stunned. The face of the person in front of him was exactly the same as his own. However, the look in his eyes was completely different. Moreover, it gave Xiang Jinglei an inexplicable sense of familiarity!

The next moment, an astonis.h.i.+ng scene happened. The figure in front of him suddenly became somewhat illusory. A faint yellow halo lit up around his waist, and his face and body rippled like water, slowly changing from head to toe!

Finally, a familiar delicate and pretty face appeared before Xiang Jinglei's eyes, causing his pupils to suddenly contract!

"Third brother!" Why are you back? "
