Chapter 1079: The Crime of Stealing the Dan
Pamir Plateau.
South side.
A straight knife sliced through the air, instantly cutting across the thigh of a man in black, leaving a gruesome gash.
The man in black let out a muffled groan, his body covered in wounds as he struggled to take two steps in the snow before weakly collapsing to the ground, blood oozing from various parts of his body and gradually staining the snow red.
The Loki clone gritted his teeth, raised his right hand, and several strands of black silk attempted to weave a “trick,” but it fell apart halfway, as the divine power within him had completely dried up, leaving him unable to use “trick” to escape.
“Is the clone’s divine power already at its limit…” the Loki clone snorted coldly and turned to look into the distance.
The headlights of an electric vehicle broke through the wind and snow, and two figures sat in the car, approaching him slowly like messengers of death.
Zuo Qing, draped in a dark red cloak, got out of the car, reached out, and pulled the knife embedded in the snow back into his hand, calmly gazing at the fallen Loki before speaking lightly:
“Why aren’t you running?”
“The Night Watchman of Daxia, right?” Loki sneered, “Chasing me twice in a row, I’ve noted this grudge. Don’t think you’ve won… The gift I prepared for you will arrive soon.”
As his words fell, Loki’s entire body twisted violently, a large amount of black liquid surged out from his body, flowing into the snow and coalescing into a shattered black ear.
Cold Xuan, covered in injuries, had completely lost consciousness, collapsing into the snow, unresponsive.
“Indeed a clone,” Zuo Qing frowned slightly at this scene.
“Is he attached to another body?” Lu Wuwei, sitting in the car, glanced at the unconscious Cold Xuan, “What should we do with this person? Kill him?”
“Wait a moment.”
Zuo Qing walked over to Cold Xuan, reached out, and after feeling around for a moment, let out a soft “oh” and pulled out a shiny emblem from his bosom.
“Night Watchman? Cold Xuan?” Zuo Qing examined the emblem carefully, confirming its authenticity, and spoke in surprise, “Is this a spy that Loki planted within the Night Watchman? Or…”
Zuo Qing quickly reached out, checked Cold Xuan’s breath, and after a moment of contemplation, spoke again: “First, take him back for treatment, then control him and see if we can get anything out of him.”
“Okay.”
…
On the other side.
Injured all over, Si Xiaonan slowly moved forward, the cold wind cutting across her face, reddening her cheeks.
She tightly clutched the two elixirs in her arms, as if they were more precious than life itself.
Not far ahead was the western border of Daxia, with endless mist rolling outside the Wall of Miracles. As long as she crossed this point, she could completely leave Daxia and head to Asgard.
At that moment, a whisper reached her ears.
Si Xiaonan paused, suddenly turning her head toward the direction where the Loki clone had dissipated, anger flashing in her eyes.
Before dissipating, the Loki clone had left her a low whisper, roughly telling her that his clone had already vanished, urging her to continue carrying the Elixir of Immortality to Asgard, and that if she did not see him within ten days, he could still take Cold Xuan’s life.
Loki only mentioned bringing back the Elixir of Immortality to save Cold Xuan’s life, but did not guarantee that he could also reunite with him in Asgard. Now, Cold Xuan had fallen into the hands of the Night Watchmen.
That bastard…
Si Xiaonan clenched her fists tightly, a fierce killing intent appearing on her flushed face. She touched the elixir labeled “Immortal Pill” in her arms, her mind gradually calming.
She took a step forward, continuing toward the misty border.
Just as she was less than a hundred meters from the border, a terrifying divine pressure suddenly descended. Exhausted, Si Xiaonan felt her legs weaken, and she was directly forced to kneel in the snow, her knees sinking deep into the accumulation.
A beautiful woman draped in a golden-purple patterned divine robe emerged from the void, calmly standing before her.
“I told you, you can’t escape.”
“Queen Mother of the West…” Si Xiaonan recognized the beautiful woman before her, a wave of despair rising in her heart.
The Queen Mother of the West before her was not the illusory figure that had fought the Loki clone, but the true embodiment of the Queen Mother of the West, a powerful deity second only to the supreme god. Not to mention just Si Xiaonan, even if Loki himself came now, he might not be able to rescue her from the Queen Mother of the West.
With a flick of her finger, two elixirs floated out of Si Xiaonan’s arms and landed in her hands.
The Queen Mother of the West paused for a moment on the elixirs labeled “Immortal Pill,” her beautiful eyes narrowing slightly.
“Stealing the Elixir of Immortality from the Yaochi is a grave crime.” The Queen Mother of the West shifted her gaze from the elixirs to Si Xiaonan, who was kneeling before her, and spoke lightly, “Do you… plead guilty?”
Si Xiaonan stared blankly at the two elixirs in the Queen Mother of the West’s hands, her eyes filled with struggle. She gritted her teeth, as if making a certain resolution, and buried her forehead in the snow.
Her entire being knelt in the snow.
“Night Watchman of Daxia, Si Xiaonan… Please, Your Majesty, let me go.”
Hearing the words “Night Watchman of Daxia,” the Queen Mother of the West’s gaze sharpened, her brow slightly furrowing as she looked at Si Xiaonan beneath her.
“You stole the Elixir of Immortality and committed a grave crime. Why should I let you go?”
“I stole the elixir because there was someone I had to save, something I had to do.” Si Xiaonan took a deep breath, raised her head from the snow, and resolutely met the Queen Mother of the West’s gaze, “Though I stole the elixir, I swear to the heavens that my actions will never bring shame to Daxia!
Please, Your Majesty, see clearly!”
As Si Xiaonan’s words fell, she once again knocked her head into the snow.
The Queen Mother of the West fell silent at this.
After a long while, she flipped her palm, and the Kunlun Mirror appeared in her hand, its surface turning to face the kneeling Si Xiaonan.
“I do not believe in oaths, only in what I can see… If your heart is clear, the Kunlun Mirror will restore your innocence.” The Queen Mother of the West said calmly.
The Kunlun Mirror can replicate the appearance, magical power, and even thought processes of any existence in the world. Si Xiaonan, being merely a mortal, could not escape the reflection of her thoughts in the Kunlun Mirror.
The Queen Mother of the West gazed at the reflection in the Kunlun Mirror, which clearly displayed Si Xiaonan’s past, present, and all her future thoughts, including all her schemes and plans.
Half a stick of incense later, the Queen Mother of the West put away the Kunlun Mirror, and her gaze toward Si Xiaonan gradually softened.
“Get up.”
Si Xiaonan’s body trembled, slowly rising from the ground, her eyes filled with hope as she looked at the Queen Mother of the West.
The Queen Mother of the West lightly tossed the two elixirs into Si Xiaonan’s arms.
“Go…”
