Chapter 0672 Two Black Phoenixes

Early before Sheshen State publicly surrendered to Wangshan, Shengfu Dynasty had already felt the slight chill in the north. The major vassal states on the border sent a lot of letters for help, and the content was surprisingly consistent. They were all about the demons stirring again and the snow was not receding. Even several vassal states in the south found that this year's winter was particularly long, and the drizzle of winter rain was mixed with snow and hail as big as rice grains.

The Taoist sect was preparing to retire as a whole, and Bingkui was sweeping across the land of demons... More and more confusing and frightening news came, and the building was about to collapse, but Shengfu Dynasty was a little helpless. The court habitually asked Longbin Society for help, and Longbin Society habitually asked the Taoist sect for advice. As a result, all the inquiries were either ignored or only received a few ambiguous answers.

The Taoists all evacuated the imperial capital, leaving only some ordinary disciples who had not yet condensed the elixir. They knew nothing about anything and were more panicked than the talisman masters of Longbin Society.

Princess Xijie has just established her foothold in the imperial capital, and there is still a long way to go before she can take power, but she still uses her influence to do as much as possible.

She sent letters to various Taoist sects, especially Pangshan, in her personal name. The answers she received were still not clear enough, but they were enough for her to draw the most tragic conclusion: the Taoist sect really decided to give up the whole world, and the Shengfu Dynasty was losing its most powerful backer.

Except for a few confidants, she did not spread the news, but looked for warriors who still had fighting spirit in the chaotic court and Longbin Society, and secretly united them to form a small but most determined force.

Sending an envoy to Sheshen Kingdom was one of the actions personally promoted by the princess. At that time, King Sheshen was still waiting and watching. The Holy Symbol Dynasty was unwilling to show weakness to its former vassal state. The emperor even wanted to issue an edict to order King Sheshen to come to the imperial capital to show his loyalty. The princess made many efforts to make the emperor understand that times have changed and things can no longer be treated the same way as before. He must take the initiative to win over Sheshen Kingdom. He did not seek an alliance, but at least let the Half-Demon Kingdom remain neutral.

The Holy Symbol envoy set out from the imperial capital without stopping, using countless talismans along the way, and rushed to the capital of Sheshen Kingdom in the shortest time, but time was still too much, and everything was too late. King Sheshen had made up his mind to follow Wangshan, and refused to meet the envoy on the pretext of illness, but instead issued an order to search for humans across the country.

Hong Futian and others came to Sheshen Kingdom with the envoy as the princess's confidants. They found that King Sheshen could not change his mind, and they did not want to return empty-handed, so they wanted to make some trouble.

The young and enthusiastic casual cultivator Ouyang Liao quickly took the place of his master Hong Futian to tell the story, "The Sheshen King was conquered by the Demon King of Tuoshan. We thought it would be better to kill the Demon King while she was still weak. We know that the Demon King was once the true illusion of the Taoist admirer, but she had long been transformed by the magic of the demon clan and was no longer the dragon demon she used to be."

More than a hundred casual cultivators and talisman masters followed the envoy to the Sheshen Kingdom. Their plan was this: the weaker half stayed in the capital of the Sheshen Kingdom to continue dealing with the half-demon, seven people created some trouble in Chaodong Town to attract the demon Taoists in Tuoshan, and dozens of others had secretly sneaked into Tuoshan, waiting for an opportunity to rush to the top of the mountain to kill the Demon King.

So they rescued more than a dozen human captives, but they had different opinions on the next step. Hong Futian, Ouyang Liao and Liu Ding felt that the number of people rescued was too small to lead the demonic Taoist away from Tuoshan, and they wanted to rescue all the human captives in the military camp. The casual cultivator Chen Guanhuo and the other two felt that it was enough and they should return to the capital of Sheshen Kingdom as soon as possible according to the original plan.

Finally, the casual cultivator named Qin Kun decided to continue saving people.

Mu Xingqiu had noticed that Hong Futian was not the leader of the seven people, but Qin Kun was.

Qin Kun looked fifty years old, but he might be more than a hundred years old. He was not good-looking, but his two small eyes were bright and energetic. After seeing Mu Xingqiu, he remained silent. However, whether it was Hong Futian or Ouyang Liao, they would look at Qin Kun every time they said something, and only spoke boldly after getting tacit consent.

Hong Futian finally realized his impoliteness and interrupted his disciple who was talking nonstop, introducing the other three people to Mu Xingqiu, especially Qin Kun. "Master Qin is an inner court official of the imperial palace. He has served the royal family for a long time and is one of the most trusted ministers of the current emperor."

Mu Xingqiu thought for a while before he understood the meaning of "inner court official". Not only was he more surprised, but the human emperors and the Dragon Guest Association of various countries have always been wary of independent cultivators and often ordered their capture and killing. The emperor himself actually kept an independent cultivator by his side, and Qin Kun was willing to serve as a eunuch. It was really unreasonable.

Mu Xingqiu didn't say much. He politely exchanged greetings with Qin Kun, and then said: "There is no need to save people for the time being. Tuoshan will soon send in magic Taoist priests, and traps have been set in the military camp. It is not easy to save people."

He didn't say that he had saved these seven people. If he hadn't stopped the black phoenix in time, the independent cultivators and talisman masters would probably have become prisoners and become the next batch of sacrifices of the human flesh association.

Ouyang Luo and Liu Ding were disappointed, but Hong Futian immediately agreed. Qin Kun hesitated a little, "Master Mu's name is well-known, I have always admired him, but I have a strict order - what plan does Master Mu have?"

Mu Xingqiu briefly told the plan he had thought of. The seven people looked at each other and felt incredible. The four people who knew Mu Xingqiu were better and trusted him more. Qin Kun and the other three who had just met were full of doubts and refused to say a word for a long time.

"There are three Xingluo Taoists helping me, one of whom is in the inn in Chaodong Town." Mu Xingqiu knew what the three were hesitating about.

Sure enough, Qin Kun was relieved and smiled, "So that's the case, that's good, let Master Mu arrange everything."

Ouyang Hao turned and looked at Liu Ding. The two of them believed in Mu Xingqiu himself.

Mu Xingqiu used magic to return directly to the inn, while Hong Futian and others landed outside Chaodong Town and walked into the town pretending to be monsters from outside who had just arrived.

The dozen humans rescued last night have been hidden in a nearby mountain, so there is no need to worry for the time being.

In the hotel room, a red-faced Yang Chuang was arguing loudly with a smiling Hei Huang. The bald man stood on the table, looking left and right in confusion, obviously not quite understanding what they were arguing about.

The arrival of Mu Xingqiu ended the argument. Yang Chuang realized that he had lost his composure and hurriedly lowered his eyes and recited scriptures to calm down quickly. However, Black Phoenix looked like it didn't matter whether he won or lost. He stood up and came over to greet him with a smile: "Tao Zun is back and has found some casual cultivators? That's for sure. There's nothing that Dao Zun can't do."

Mu Xingqiu asked Baldy: "What's going on?"

"They were arguing about who was bold and who was timid, and then... I couldn't understand." The bald man laughed a few times.

Yang Chuang hurriedly wanted to retort, but hurriedly controlled the impulse in his heart and said to Mu Xingqiu: "The banshee doesn't understand what victory is. That's why the three of us lived in seclusion in the first place. If we return to Daotong, we will become possessed by demons." Danger."

Mu Xingqiu knew what the Tribulation of Victory was. It was a Tao Tribulation that was eager to win but was unable to achieve it. Everyone around him was practicing, and he had to work hard, but he knew that hard work would have no results. As time went by, it was inevitable that Feeling jealous, Yang Chuang and others left Taoism before their jealousy became too strong.

Those who have a strong Taoist heart will usually stop before the calamity of sighing. That is because they are defeated in the contest with themselves. Only a few people who are not strong in the Taoist heart will encounter the calamity of victory and lose in comparison with others. Compared with others, Under the circumstances, victory was rare and not very honorable. Yang Chuang was very sensitive about this matter and actually got into a fight with a banshee.

Mu Xingqiu had never developed the heart of a Taoist priest, so naturally he would not laugh at Yang Chuang, but what he noticed was another thing, "Yang Chuang, you have been fooled. Black Phoenix is ​​using demonic illusions on you."

Yang Chuang was startled and was about to deny it when he suddenly realized that the banshee knew nothing about him, but he unknowingly revealed it and gave her an opportunity. This was also an illusion, but it was too weak. Not even the magic weapon in the room responded.

Yang Chuang became even more angry and blamed himself. He walked to the corner, turned his back to Mu Xingqiu and Hei Huang, and sat down to enter a state of contemplation.

Black Phoenix chuckled, "Don't you think Dao Zun will be angry? I don't have any bad intentions, it's just a little joke. As you know, it hasn't been long since I learned the magic of demons, and I always want to try the effect. Dao Zun has just learned the illusion of mind. Is it the same as when ?”

Mu Xingqiu asked directly: "When will the demonic Taoist priests from Tuoshan arrive at Chaodong Town?"

"Well... I said the situation here is not very serious. He will probably arrive before dark, just in time for tonight's human flesh meeting."

This is what Mu Xingqiu thought, "Let me see your clone technique."

Black Phoenix smiled even more ambiguously, and as if he couldn't control himself, he used some more demonic illusions, "One Black Phoenix is ​​not enough for the Taoist, do we have to have two?"

Black Phoenix had no intention of refusing. She raised her right hand, holding a black feather, and spun around in circles. Suddenly, smoke rose, and her joints crackled. After a while, the smoke dissipated, and two identical women appeared on the same spot. The two black phoenixes stared at each other, as if they were looking at each other in the mirror, but their postures were different.

The bald man couldn't help but cheer.

"How many clones can you create?" Mu Xingqiu asked.

"How many? Dao Zun has a big appetite." "One clone is amazing." "Clone is not an ordinary illusion. Even the Taoist priest's third eye cannot tell the truth from the fake." "Do you want to give it a try, Dao Zun?"

The two black phoenixes answered each other word by word. After speaking, they looked at each other and smiled. They were both satisfied.

Mu Xingqiu pointed to one of them, "I have been tracking your spells."

"Does that mean Taoist Master can't tell the truth from the lie just by looking at it?" "Haha, this is enough to make me proud for a while."

"Pretend to stay in Chaodong Town, but really follow me to Tuoshan. Set off immediately."

"Oh, I smell the breath of destruction. Our Lady of Ten Thousand Sons is right, Taoist Master will be destroyed wherever he goes." "But there is one thing that Taoist Master knows. The farther the distance, the weaker the clone. Tuoshan Li For more than two hundred miles, there is only one body left in the clone, which cannot be deceived by the evil Taoist priest."

"It doesn't matter."

There was a knock on the door outside, and Hong Futian and others arrived.

Mu Xingqiu went to open the door. The two black phoenixes looked at each other and suddenly stopped smiling, their clear faces quickly becoming blurry.
