Chapter 356: Inviting the Crown Prince
"Oh? At Xiaoye's place~ OK, I'll go over and help."
A tall "beauty" with flowing hair, wearing a gorgeous shawl, and bell-bottom pants wrapped around her enchanting long legs, holding a bluebell on her fingertips, strolled gracefully in the alley.
It was late at night, and his overly gorgeous clothes flashed a strange fluorescence under the hazy moonlight. From behind, the unfolded shawl looked like two amazing eyeballs.
"No need, he was killed."
The bluebell swayed gently, sending out an old and low voice.
"What?"
The enchanting beauty's pupils condensed and her steps stopped suddenly.
The old and deep voice came again: "The Night Saint Envoy was defeated, Sha Jin has rushed over, you stay alert to prevent the prey from escaping..."
"Hey old woman, please explain clearly, was Xiao Ye really killed by that Qian Long Wu Yong?"
The enchanting beauty interrupted the other party's advice, with a surprised expression and hidden displeasure:
"With Xiao Ye's character, even if he is not good enough, he will not suffer a big loss from a new dignitary who is still wet behind the ears. Is there an official master?"
"Sha Jin is confirming."
The bellflower shook lightly and handed over an unquestionable order:
"Saint Envoy of the Stinging Moth, please be sure to bring Qian Long Wu Yong back to the sacred mountain unscathed! Today we have alerted the enemy, if we fail, it will be more difficult to find a good opportunity in the future... Delaying the succession, you know the consequences, right?"
The enchanting beauty was silent for a while, and finally sighed and laughed: "Yes, that will be a big trouble."
The bellflower drooped its buds.
The enchanting beauty turned around and looked at the figure walking at the end of the alley.
The man was tall and slender, walking calmly, with his hands in his pockets. The moonlight reflected his cold and evil profile and a pair of affectionate eyes.
"Qianlong Wuyong?"
As the enchanting beauty spoke, she quickly took off her shawl and threw it into the night sky.
The gorgeous shawl quickly bloomed and expanded above the two people's heads until it covered the entire alley, rendering the monotonous night magical and noisy.
This was not only a means for him to perform illusions, but also to hide the battlefield where the two were about to fight, in order to prevent the support of powerful enemies.
"Unique aesthetics."
Qianlong Wuyong smiled, as if he didn't consider the function and danger of the prop at all. Without stopping, he asked politely and seriously:
"Excuse me, what is your name?"
"Saint Envoy of the Divine Mountain, the Butterfly with Thorns."
The enchanting beauty brushed her curly hair back, then took out the darts from her waist with both hands, and gently pinched them with her fingertips. The leaf-like darts immediately showed layers and showed a momentum of blooming.
"Are you also here to invite me to the Divine Mountain for a chat?" Qianlong Wuyong was still approaching, even though he saw the other party showing his weapon with his own eyes.
"Well~ Since you all know, why don't you cooperate with us? We are all family, so we don't want to hurt the harmony by fighting."
Although the moth said it lightly, he did not take the approach of Qianlong Wuyong lightly. He focused on the prey and walked closer step by step, looking for the best time to attack.
However, Qianlong Wuyong not only did not sell him any flaws, but as the distance between the two continued to close, the moth's state of mind was undergoing a wonderful change that he himself did not even notice.
"That's a pity. I'm not interested in the battle for the crown prince of Shenshan."
Qianlong Wuyong stopped seven steps away from Cimo, his burning eyes focused on Cimo's face, and he did not hide the deep affection hidden in his eyes: "But I don't mind taking your life here."
These words seemed to step on Cimo's heartbeat, making him excited for no reason.
Young and handsome, cold and passionate, and a tough guy who easily killed Xiaoye! Not good, this kid is my cup of tea... Cimo's heart was shaken for a moment.
After that flash of hesitation, he still decisively launched an attack, and several darts were fired from both hands, drawing several arcs of distorted lines in the air rendered by illusions, and hitting Qianlong Wuyong's location one by one at a very fast speed!
But before that, Qianlong Wuyong had moved his body, and his shadow snaked in the air, dragging a series of afterimages, avoiding the darts, and the flashing green fangs pointed directly at the enchanting and beautiful Cimo Saint Envoy.
"Something, but far from enough~"
The moth seemed to have expected that it would not be easy to defeat the opponent, so the next wave of attacks was ready.
When the fangs pounced, the moth's figure disappeared instantly.
At the same time, the moth's entities appeared in three different directions at the same time, and took the opportunity to quickly pounce on Qianlong Wuyong.
The darts in their hands were fired, and dozens of hidden weapons shot towards the target. After a complex and changeable route, they locked the only target at almost the same time!
Qianlong Wuyong stood still, with a fearless look on his face.
When the poison darts of the butterfly approached, dozens of fangs broke through the surface of the skin, piercing or jamming the tip of the poison dart, and resolved this surprise attack without leaking a drop of water.
This is not over yet, the three moth entities that are like brothers are following closely.
They each drew out their dagger-like long thorns and attacked Qianlong Wuyong in close combat.
The three long thorns were aimed at three vital points on Qianlong Wuyong's body, but failed to hit them. Qianlong Wuyong seemed to have seen through his tricks long ago, and withdrew at the critical moment, causing the three long thorns to collide with each other.
Then, the three entities of the moth were hit and scattered.
Qianlong Wuyong was left standing in the illusion without any damage, and raised his mouth fearlessly: "Is that all?"
What a quick reaction! If I had approached him rashly just now, I would inevitably be injured... The moth hiding in the dark became more and more passionate:
"Of course not... That's all."
So, the moth continued to launch a new round of illusion attacks like making things difficult for its lover.
The colorful images around Qianlong Wuyong continued to change, presenting a spectacular scene of a large number of moths landing.
All the moths landed in layers, not only were they colorful, but the most bizarre thing was that at the end of their wings, they were all inlaid with a pair of shadowy "eyes"!
These countless "eyes" are tightly wrapping Qianlong Wuyong in them.
"Come on, come on, Qianlong Wuyong... let me take you into the real dreamland!"
The expression of the moth became fanatical, and under the influence of passion, his heartbeat could not help but accelerate:
"You will be unforgettable! Then, you will be completely immersed in my unparalleled aesthetic art..."
In the illusion, countless landed moths fluttered their wings and danced!
The flapping thin wings, like bright eyes, swept towards Qianlong Wuyong in the center of the illusion.
"Come on... sink into me!!"
The moth could imagine what would happen next: Qianlong Wuyong sank into one deep and terrifying dream after another under the pervasive illusion attack, collapsed and begged for mercy in the endless torture of the inner demon, and sank to the bottom to become his captive.
- Unscathed, but mentally scarred.
Frankly speaking, the moth didn't intend to use this trick so soon. He could have used more means to consume his opponent, or invested more time in observation and preparation, and waited for the perfect opportunity to make a perfect plan.
But for some reason, ever since he came into contact with Qianlong Wuyong and had a conversation, he couldn't help wanting to conquer the other party and gain control over the other party as soon as possible!
The motivation behind this behavior was not like "hunting" in the conventional sense, but rather like...
"Squeak, squeak"
The tiny friction sound woke the moth up.
At the same time, there was also a stinging pain from the body.
The illusion created by the props, along with the overwhelming moths and the overwhelmed "eyes", disappeared in an instant!
The moth lowered its head in a daze, staring at the green-shining fang inserted into the chest cavity as if waking up from a dream.
"You, when..."
Cold sweat slid down the nose of the moth, and he looked up at the Qianlong Wuyong in front of him in disbelief.
The Qianlong Wuyong at this time had a completely different temperament from the one he had just met.
He did not deliberately show coldness, and his eyes were full of affection; on the contrary, Qianlong Wuyong at this time had a calm temperament and a calmer expression. He wore a pair of simple black-framed glasses on his high nose bridge, and there was no extra emotion in his eyes.
"It's another kind..."
The moth muttered to himself incomprehensibly, and his consciousness gradually emptied: for him, the Qianlong Wuyong he saw in front of him was showing another kind of charm, but he was deeply poisoned and unable to fully express and explore it.
So when he closed his eyes at last, his inner emotion was regret...
"You've worked hard, rest in peace."
Jiang Qian searched for the other party's toxins without guilt, pulled out the fangs, and threw them on the spot.
Facts have proved that the upgraded demon suit is indeed much more useful.
As the control of the emotional clone gradually deepened and became more familiar, it was used with the invisible armor, which was a perfect match and handy!
The only flaw was that it consumed physical strength too quickly, but compared with its efficiency in defeating the enemy, this flaw was nothing.
The rich and colorful illusion gradually collapsed...
"Automeris larra."
Jiang Qian recognized the other party's ID card, a kind of eye-catching, colorful stinging moth, which was poisonous. It was eye-catching enough in the caterpillar form, and after it emerged from the cocoon and became a moth, the "eye" pattern on its wings and tail was its prominent mark that people talked about with relish.
The peacock spider originated from Australia, and the stinging moth only found in America. Shenshan is really a gathering place for rare poisonous creatures... Jiang Qian sighed silently and looked around.
However, as the illusion created by the stinging moth saint dissipated, the streets and alleys in the middle of the night did not return to their original appearance.
Behind the collapsed illusion, the dim and dry desert scene was revealed.
In the blink of an eye, the Saint Envoy of the Stinging Moth that was thrown on the ground disappeared.
Even the cloak used to create the illusion disappeared.
Jiang Qian looked around and smiled, "It seems that the Divine Mountain attaches great importance to me. It sent more than two Saint Envoys of the Four-State Peak to meet me at once. I am really flattered."
According to the Nine-Tailed Fox, the highest power of the Holy Mountain belongs to the Holy Lord and the Holy Mother. Below them are two Dharma Protectors, who govern four Holy Maidens and four Holy Envoys respectively.
The Holy Maidens are responsible for finding and selecting suitable crown princes, while the Holy Envoys are responsible for keeping the candidate crown princes firmly under the power of the Holy Mountain. Usually, one Holy Envoy corresponds to one crown prince. Of course, the control mentioned here mostly describes the stage before the crown prince is promoted.
"Ah, hehe..."
Strange laughter came from all directions, and it was impossible to determine the location of the sound:
"Of course we should pay attention! You are the best strategic weapon even the license holders regard as a strategic weapon. How can we neglect you... Don't worry, I am neither as overly cautious as the Night Walker, nor as arrogant and underestimate the enemy as the moth. They are too extreme, so they are not aware of their weaknesses being exploited. They are stupid and pathetic!"
"And I will only judge the enemy situation realistically and implement the goal down to earth..."
The dust swirled in the air, lifting Jiang Qian's shirt and hair.
When I attacked the enemy just now, I removed the invisible armor item. Now the enemy is in the dark and I am in the light, and the situation is slightly disadvantageous.
But Jiang Qian was still talking and laughing:
"You keep saying that you won't be overly cautious, but you don't even have the courage to greet me. You say you won't be arrogant, but you use that frivolous tone to describe your colleagues... You are really more beautiful than you act."
"..."
These words more or less played a role in provoking.
The laughter did not continue.
When Jiang Qian felt the strong wind coming towards him, his feet suddenly stepped on the air, and then there was a loud "bang"!
A pair of giant pincers broke out of the sand and locked Jiang Qian's ankles accurately.
However, this "locking" action took less than a second, and was broken by several poisonous fangs! Disappeared in the sand in an instant.
Jiang Qian spread his wings behind him and jumped into the air. At the same time, he shook off the invisible armor and wrapped it around his body. Jiang Qian's figure disappeared again.
"It's useless."
The voice came from all directions again, with a tone of gloating:
"You can hide from sight, can you hide from the wind and sand?"
