Act 295 Akentu’s Conspiracy VI
For cultists like the Sheephead Cultists, it actually doesn't take much effort to kidnap the latter group of people, and it won't attract too much attention.
But the Sheep-Headed Cultists and their master Akentu, the Lord of Purgatory, did not choose to do this, which inevitably made Brando feel suspicious.
Brando didn't speak, and most of the others seemed a little dull. Everyone looked worried, not just because they were worried that the devil would get there first, but also because they were worried about the safety of their companions - although Fang Fang Qi had always shown that he was not from the same group as them, but after spending so many days together, and even experiencing life and death together, even Huang Huo, more or less, all agreed with this genius of Gui Che's lineage. It's just that I don't say it out loud.
But Brando didn't know that his doubts might be a bit ridiculous to Akentu - it was just a simple question.
Because in fact, although the Sheep Headed Cultists have long calculated the secret of the Moon Channel, they have just opened the door to the Tenth Channel, and their time is not much faster than Brando.
The reason is simply that before this they have not been able to find a suitable dragon who is willing to join them.
Fortunately, the awakening of the Twilight Dragon finally solved Arkanto's troubles. After opening the tenth channel, they realized that one of the conditions for solving the mystery of the Emerald and leading to the Realm of Stagnation was that nine The inheritor of Feng's bloodline.
At this time, the south of Madara was in chaos. The route to Jiufeng through the Sea of Dead Moon had long been cut off. It was first congested by the army of crystal clusters. At that time, the Sheep-Headed Cultists could barely reach the Wagtail Strait. ——After all, although the crystal clusters do not recognize the devil's account, they can at least be regarded as members of the Chaos Legion.
However, after the battle of Fenhototh, this road was again occupied by the Nameless Ones. At this time, the Yangshou believers had completely lost the possibility of going south, so it was basically impossible to bring back a Nine Phoenix bloodline inheritor.
Akantu had originally heard that there was a bloodline inheritor from the Yufeng family in Eruin, and had been making plans to investigate this matter. But I didn't expect that things would turn out differently.
When it met Brando and others in Taoqike, it actually doubted the identities of Fang Qi and Huang Huo—the devil was born in the abyss. Dark magic combines the negative emotions in mortal hearts - monsters born of pain, despair, greed and pride, so it is most sensitive to the inheritance of human hearts and blood.
But before it could put its suspicion into practice, the clone was cut in half by Brando's shocking sword. It still feels frightened when thinking about that sword that split the sea. Despite its tough words, in fact, if it thought about it, even in its heyday when it was not sealed, it might not be able to easily take such a sword, under such circumstances. How dare it go to find trouble with Brando.
But what happened next couldn't help but make Arkento feel that the power of chaos was omnipresent. Brando and his party came towards the Green Sea and were discovered by his own men. At that time, its mind began to spin the conspiracies that it had become accustomed to. Of course, all the tricks originally needed to be matched by enough strength, otherwise it would just become a ridiculous joke. If it were placed at any other time, it would never dare to play tricks in front of that terrifying young man.
But it happened that there were some "another group of people" sent by the supreme master around it. To be precise, they were Frofa and her dragon companions. Arkentu doesn't like these self-righteous dragons. Even if they have surrendered to the supreme master at this moment, it does not mean that it cannot use them. In fact, it is precisely because of the existence of these giant dragons. Only then can its plan be realized.
As for the results of the plan——
Akantu looked condescendingly at the young man in front of him. There was no doubt that
That was Fang Qi. It's just that at this time, the state of this genius of Gui Che's lineage seemed a bit strange. He looked numb and stood motionless in front of the Lord of Purgatory, looking forward with empty eyes, like a puppet.
Seeing the other party like this, Akentu couldn't help but feel extremely satisfied.
In fact, it had already planted a seed of fear in Fang Qi's heart - when he was in Taoqik's temple that day, had Brando not interrupted. It will then make the young man surrender. Although it was not fully effective at the time, this seed was not completely useless. At least it didn't spend much effort when it used the living sacrifice rituals of its poor servants to create a spiritual fog. Fang Qi completely lost his consciousness.
Otherwise, under the circumstances at that time, once the other party reacted and the 'Titan' became aware of its existence, I am afraid that the majestic Lord of Purgatory would also be unable to eat and walk away.
"But such is the power of conspiracy."
Akentu proudly boasted about itself, and its disdain for Frofa, Brando and others was beyond words: "So what about the realm of saints, so what about the dragon, it's not like I was fooled around by a mere clone of my master, ha, A bunch of idiots.”
It took another satisfied look at the puppet-like Fang Qi before slowly walking forward.
This place is a basin deep in the hills.
If Brando were here, he would definitely feel very familiar with the terrain here, because the terrain here is very similar to the holy tomb of the Silver Elf deep in Chablis, where he first met The little silver elf princess Medisa.
There is also the commander of the Phoenix Guard named Namenis.
He remembered that he had promised the other party that once he was free, he would go back and tell him what had happened in the outside world in the past thousand years. It's just that since he settled in Fir Ling, he has been unable to control himself. In the past three years, he has hardly had a moment to spare.
And in this basin, where the temple of the Silver Elf should have been, is now a flat open space, with intersecting lines of law marking the location of this place among the crisscrossing hills, and In the very center of the basin, a crystal ball is suspended.
The crystal ball is very similar to the suspended celestial ball that Tata gave to Brando, but it is obviously much larger, which makes it more like a portal suspended in mid-air - a spherical portal.
Inside the crystal ball is a scene of a vast, unfamiliar land, but unlike looking at Warnd from outside the elemental realm, Warnd is a vibrant continent, with an atmosphere of fluorescent blue light shrouding the vast oceans and land. , the continent is covered with dark forests, intertwined with mountains and rivers, and surface runoff washes out flat fertile fields at the mouth of the sea. Civilizations gather here to form cities and settlements. Dots of stars can often be seen above the ocean. sailing ship.
But the world inside this crystal ball is a lifeless world. It is like a piece of metal covered with dark red rust. The surface is pitted and covered with ugly scars. Although there are mountains and river valleys on it, the river valleys have long dried up. Even where the ocean used to be, there was only a shockingly huge groove left.
On the entire continent, there is no trace of what could be called life. Not to mention the green forest, there is not even a single grassland or tundra. As if there were only brown soil alternating between dark brown and red, the storm swept across the continent at thousands of miles per hour, sweeping away everything that might exist.
When Akentu approached the crystal ball, the crystal ball spread out an invisible force without any surprise. This force seemed gentle, but it caused the Lord of Purgatory to endure considerable pain. There was a look of pain on its face, and it couldn't help but utter a vicious curse. But it took another step forward, and the entire valley where the crystal ball was located suddenly shone brightly, and a giant one appeared on the ground. Arkentu screamed in this light, and half of his body almost disappeared.
It hurriedly retreated, with a lingering look of fear on its face. Its body seemed a bit ethereal compared to before entering the valley - this is because its body was originally just a projection, but it was actually a projection. part of its power, but this part of its power had clearly been damaged in previous conflicts.
The terrifying power of the crystal ball made Akentu stop and frown at the same time. Now that he has the inheritor of the Nine Phoenix bloodline, he has satisfied the need to open the realm of stagnation. But the question is, how to use it?
If it can, in fact it doesn't mind Fang Qi's life or death. It doesn't matter if the devil sacrifices a person alive to achieve his goal. In its eyes, there is no difference between the royal family of Jiufeng and the common people. They are just mortals like insects.
It's just that he only has this one bargaining chip at the moment. If he accidentally kills him without opening the door, he will have to go back and find trouble with Brando - because there is still one remaining inheritance of Jiu Feng. By. Of course, this is what Akentu does not want to see. With its current power, it is not even willing to meet Frofa and others, let alone Brando.
It looked back at Fang Qi. It had already tried bloodletting, soul sacrifice - not completely of course, and self-mutilation, but none of them succeeded. Do you really want to kill this person? Akentu seemed a little hesitant, because the latter only had one chance. If it failed, the result would be unbearable.
It hesitated for a moment and then said: "You, come here."
