Crown of Silence

Chapter 777 Stay safe

Ye Qingxuan opened his eyes and saw the faint morning light.

It seemed like I had a long dream, in which the ghost Hermes and the first pope seemed to appear. But for some reason, I appeared, but it didn't look like myself.

At first he still remembered a few fragments, but when he stood up, those broken and chaotic fragments quickly disappeared into his memory.

"What the hell..."

Ye Qingxuan rubbed his sore forehead, feeling a little sleepy. He had obviously slept all night, but he still felt like he had stayed up late.

The sound of the carriage shaking continued, and there was a commotion outside.

He opened the curtain on the carriage and saw ragged refugees on both sides of the road. Most of the hundreds of refugees had no shoes and were stepping barefoot in the frozen mud in the early morning. In front, thousands of people used their meager resources to The body temperature trampled the soil into softness.

Shivering in the morning dew.

In just a few minutes, the crowd started fighting many times over a bit of food.

Some people couldn't walk even while walking and fell down on the roadside.

There were sounds of children crying.

Even so, they still did not dare to approach the carriage where Ye Qingxuan was. Just seeing Ye Qingxuan's white hair, a group of people knelt on the ground and did not dare to raise their heads until the carriage was far away.

"What's going on?" Ye Qingxuan asked.

The coachman whom he hired with lapis lazuli was more courageous and did not kneel on the ground. He lowered his head and replied: "Sir, these people are all victims of the disaster."

Ye Qingxuan was silent and did not speak.

He already understands.

Now, after walking all the way for several days, all he saw were desolate cities and villages, with no roosters crowing for thousands of miles, empty towns and villages occupied by thieves.

In this world, even thieves are weak and can't hold a knife steady.

Fearing military disaster, these landless people abandoned their homeland and became victims of the disaster in the wilderness. There were also wealthy people who fled, equipped Kong's powerful servants with swords, and coordinated with each other to form a convoy and drive on the muddy road.

They were trying to stay away from the fighting.

Ye Qingxuan sighed softly, shook his head, dispelled the unrealistic and distant myths in his mind, and stared at the tragic scene in front of him.

This is reality.

He lowered the curtain.

There was nothing he could do about it.

At a time like this when money was hard to buy, it was already difficult to raise food for him, the driver and the horses.

The funny thing is that Ye Qingxuan was originally ready to fight against the heroes of the world, but now, the heroes of the world are doing their own business and have no time to pay attention to him.

Everywhere they went, all the musicians stayed away cautiously, and no one dared to stop Ye Qingxuan.

Some people even prepared food and fodder so that Ye Qingxuan could get on his way quickly.

This carriage was given as a gift by someone else.

Ever since he came to the East, this ridiculous feeling of alienation has been lingering on Ye Qingxuan. This is obviously his hometown, but everyone who looks at him feels that he is an outsider.

No matter war or suffering, it has nothing to do with him, and he doesn't even want to have anything to do with him.

Just stay away.

When he doesn't exist.

This kind of non-cooperative and indifferent attitude is extremely irritating.

Ye Qingxuan closed his eyes and tapped his fingers on the seat.

He didn't mind others being scornful of him. Anyway, they didn't dare to do anything except scorn and stay away, and they didn't even dare to look him in the eye.

All he wants is to take Bai Xi away.

Don't care about other things.

Soon, a voice came from outside the carriage.

"Sir, don't let me pass in front of you."

Ye Qingxuan opened the curtain and saw the crowds of victims in front of him. The sound of wailing and shouting came. In the chaos, the gate of the towering city gate in front was closed tightly.

The cliffs on both sides were high, and the soldiers in iron armor looked down with cold eyes, holding bows in their hands, and the arrow pots were filled with bows and arrows.

Accompanied by the angry shouts of the city guarding musicians above the city gate, the sound of bowstrings tightening became one.

Under the threat of death, the victims surged back like a tide, no longer daring to step forward.

In the end, everyone saw Ye Qingxuan walking towards the city gate.

After noticing Ye Qingxuan's gentle and majestic etheric fluctuations, as well as the etheric tornado that ordinary people could hardly see, the face of the city guard musician changed.

"Stop those who come, those who are good at city gates will be killed without mercy!"

"Why don't you let me pass?"

Ye Qingxuan's voice sounded in front of him, still so clear despite the long distance.

The expression of the city guard musician changed for a while, but in the end, he still gritted his teeth: "The chaos is driven by thieves. If you open the city gate lightly, there will be chaos! Tianmen Pass involves the safety of the country. No one can pass through here without the order of the superior officer..."

Ye Qingxuan frowned, raised his palm, and threw the sign in his hand over the city gate - it was the identity certificate given to him by the Emperor of Cathay when he was in the Holy City.

"If the emperor's decree had not changed, I should still be the Marquis Changyu of Cathay, the head of the Ye family... Even I can't go there?"

For a moment, in the dead silence, the eyes of the musician at the top of the city turned dark.

The head of the Ye family?

Wait, wasn't the Ye family wiped out decades ago?

But the sign in front of me is indeed canonized by His Majesty himself, but aren't all the nine surnames of Longmai rebelling now? Moreover, all the princes with the nine surnames were completely deposed...

Doesn't he know it now?

No, the one who came here has already become a scepter, and there is absolutely no way he could be so stupid.

Or is this Bai Heng's trick?

For a moment, the city guarding musician's mind was spinning. He still couldn't figure out the purpose of Ye Qingxuan's visit, and his level was simply not up to the message that was now being circulated among many scepter musicians.

Soon, he thought of the order he received yesterday, gritted his teeth, and threw the sign aside.

"cannot!"

He flatly rejected Ye Qingxuan's request: "Without His Majesty's will and Shangguan's order, the city gate cannot be opened!"

Ye Qingxuan sighed, "Then where is your superior officer?"

"in the city."

"What about your Majesty?"

"Nonsense, of course we are in the capital." The city guard musician looked at him as if he were an idiot.

"In other words, if I don't have your majesty's will and your superior's warrant, then I can't enter the city." Ye Qingxuan nodded: "But if I can't enter the city, how can I go to your superior to ask for the warrant? Are you looking for His Majesty to give orders?"

The city guard musician was stunned for a moment, and his expression immediately turned ugly.

"Ahaha, I'm just kidding, please don't pay attention."

Ye Qingxuan sighed softly and rolled up his sleeves: "Anyway, I didn't expect you to let me get my things back smoothly from the beginning.

However, since you are standing in front of me, there is nothing wrong with me doing it myself now, right? "

Before he finished speaking, the sword of the New Testament emerged from his hand, and the matrix of the World Tree condensed from the sky.

The calm ether fluctuations turned into violent rage, rising into the sky.

The entire city was shaken.

Like the sun falling, countless dust flew up fearfully and danced in the air.

A piercing siren sounded from the depths of Tianmen Pass. In an instant, hundreds of musicians on standby rushed into the air... The terrifying pressure was locked on Ye Qingxuan's body.

"Yes, this will make it fun."

Ye Qingxuan laughed.

This is right, this is good.

If no one was blocking the way, he wouldn't look like a villain who came to rob people.

——

Tianmen Pass is built on the edge of danger, and it stands between two mountains. The mountain is so high that there is nowhere to climb. The three gates inside and outside are almost impeccable. There are arrow holes and mechanisms on the wall. There is a gate every twenty steps at the top of the city. The iron pot is boiling oil day and night.

Although to ordinary people, the height of several hundred meters is considered towering.

But for a musician, even an ordinary musician, with a little preparation, he can fly through the air.

However, compared to the impregnable city gate, the sky above the city gate is the real death trap. Among the three internal and external passes, Zijin Pass is the largest, but Tianmen Pass is the most dangerous.

It is precisely because this place is blessed by the Great Wall.

The city gate on the earth is as solid as gold and iron, and the sky above the city gate is also filled with a massive torrent of ether, forming an invisible wall. Once you enter it rashly, you will probably be blocked by the Great Wall in an instant, and then, it will be comparable to the entire city. The terrifying power of Cathay is exerted on it, the terrifying power enough to crush charcoal into diamonds will strangle all living creatures.

There are strong passes on the ground to protect the people, and the Great Wall in the sky covers them.

This is the real Tianmen Pass.

Compared with the sky, which looks empty but actually hides murderous intent, breaking through from the ground is the easiest way. There are only two records of Tianmen Pass being breached in the past dynasties, and once it was opened from the inside by a traitor.

The only time that could be considered a frontal attack was when they used the most brutal method to forcibly attack Tianmen Pass for six months. The corpses were everywhere, and they almost forcibly leveled the terrifying height and occupied the city.

Therefore, everyone has always placed unparalleled confidence in Tianmen Pass.

But now, that unshakable confidence has somewhat dissipated.

And there is only one enemy.

But... is that guy really still a human?

At this moment, the torrent of ether spewing out from Ye Qingxuan's body intertwined into burning light clouds in the sky. Under the matrix of the World Tree, thunder formed by countless revolutionary music theories emerged from the light clouds, The shocking and crazy electric light gathered into a beam, fell into Ye Qingxuan's hand, and merged with the sword of the New Testament.

Facing the slowly raised electric sword, the city wall, which was made of bluestone, reinforced by the barrier, and shrouded in dragon veins, was almost indestructible, and it actually started to tremble.

The city gate was like a beast, roaring wildly.

Countless dust emerged chaotically, rose up, and spread in all directions.

In the blazing light and heat, the crown of the Yellow King emerged from the void, blessing Ye Qingxuan's body, causing the majestic divinity to circulate in his body, flowing between the human body and the World Tree.

The incarnation of the gods descends here.

The mighty power of God is in the hands of man, radiating magnificent music.

The Gangnir that once nearly penetrated the barrier of Avalon reappeared, one, two, three, four. In the end, from the power of the new world, dozens of Gangnir overlapped. At the same time, the power of Odin, the original natural disaster, was restored.

At that moment, the Spear of Destruction shot out of the air!

In the turbulent roar of the heaven and earth, the loud noise spread for hundreds of miles in an instant, the earth trembled violently, and the earth fixed as a piece of iron trembled, and outside the barrier, there was a faint appearance that enveloped the entire Tianmen Pass. Annular fissure.

Originally, Tianmen Pass was like a nail driven into a dangerous place, but now, under Ye Qingxuan's hammering, can this nail avoid falling apart?

In an instant, the outer barrier broke through, and then, it collided with the projection of the Great Wall. Countless cracks emerged from the void. Amidst the roar, the burning Gangnir moved forward inch by inch.

The musician guarding the city turned pale and wanted to retreat, but he was fixed in place by the terrifying pressure and could not hide. He could only watch Gungnir fly towards his head inch by inch.

Even if 90% of the power was consumed by the Great Wall, the remaining 10% was definitely not a force that humans could resist!

Just the aftermath was enough to evaporate all the people on the entire city into ashes.

At that moment, a hand pulled the musician guarding the city away from where he was, threw him aside, and then faced the stabbing Gungnir.

In the fierce light, the terrifying turbulence spread, like the crazy heartbeat of a giant, like an iron drum, like thunder, shocking people's hearts, making everyone's eyes black.

When the lightning dissipated, the slightly old middle-aged man couldn't help but step back a few steps. There was a scorch mark on his palm, and the wound was difficult to heal, and there was still lightning jumping in it.

He sighed, closed his palms, looked at the city guard musician who was limp beside him, and his eyes turned cold:

"You should have reported this to me first, why did you take the initiative?"

The musician's face twitched and he didn't speak.

He sighed and waved his hand impatiently: "I don't know who instructed you to do this, you go down and explain to the court officer yourself."

Soon, two court officers came forward and dragged the musician down the city wall like a dead dog.

Until now, the middle-aged man shook his head helplessly, hid his injured palm behind his back, and looked at the young man under the city.

"Long time no see, you have become stronger, Xiao Ye..."

"Mr. Hu?"

Ye Qingxuan was stunned for a moment, and couldn't help laughing softly: "Are you okay?"
