Chapter 0898 Sooner or Later
There were more and more dark clouds in the small space on the table. Under Xiao Qingtao's gaze, they merged into one, and the number could no longer be determined. She still couldn't detect the existence of the spell, but there was a huge feeling in her heart. Fear, this is not the despair of death and failure, but the horror and powerlessness that arises in the face of a powerful force that you cannot understand.
"What is this...who are you?" Xiao Qingtao asked.
"I am Fangfang's father." Mr. Qin explained his identity in the simplest language.
Xiao Qingtao was shocked, "Fangfang... Oh my god, the rumors are true. The demon soul is in you! Where is the demon seed?"
"Being taken into the void by Mu Xingqiu." Mr. Qin stared at the small space, his expression became more and more serious, the corners of his mouth suddenly twitched twice, and his expression changed seven times in succession, from happiness, anger, worry, thought, Sadness, fear, and shock flashed through him one after another, which seemed very strange.
Xiao Qingtao retreated step by step. She was never afraid of fighting, but this time she didn't know what spell to use. She was like a wild beast facing the mountain of steel with no place to bite.
"The Imperial Capital is already a desert, and the demon soul has nowhere to hide." The demon soul returned to Mr. Qin's body, and he had no way out. "The Taoism is about to return."
"The Taoist tradition is about to return." Xiao Qingtao repeated in a low voice, not understanding the meaning of this sentence or whether Mr. Qin was an enemy or a friend.
"I was wrong. Mu Xingqiu and Long Mo summoned the Demonic Tribulation, but the void was not created by them. Hey, the Demonic Tribulation, it is clearly the Dao Tribulation. Look, the dark clouds are still increasing. This is no longer the Summoning Tribulation. "The power is awakening. They can tolerate small thefts, but Mu Xingqiu and the dragon demon stole too much power this time, and finally made it angry."
"Mu Xingqiu will not steal other people's power." Xiao Qingtao said firmly, "Who is it? Is it Taoist?"
"Stealing is just a symbol. All practitioners are stealing the power of heaven and earth. There is nothing special about what Mu Xingqiu did. It's just that this time, 'heaven and earth' are unwilling. I'm talking about Taoism. But this is not the Dao Tong that I know. Something is wrong. The problem may lie with the nine treasures. I should have thought that the three ancestors of Dao Tong will not forget the demons until death. They do not place their hopes on their disciples, but on their disciples. Selected a few magic weapons.”
The square area on the table was as dark as ink, and something seemed to be swimming inside.
"Power exists everywhere between heaven and earth." Mr. Qin stretched out his right hand and grabbed a handful in the air. "Even the air is no exception. The difficulty is not to find power, but to control it. It's like a The most important issue with the army is not how to expand it, but how to make this army loyal to you and obey your command. Demon Tribulation, to be precise, Dao Tribulation, is a well-trained army, an unprecedentedly large army. Maybe even more powerful than the original demon clan.”
Mr. Qin stood up, not looking at Xiao Qingtao at all, his eyes never leaving the black area. He stretched out his hand, wanting to touch those mysterious powers, but stopped when his fingers were two or three inches apart, "This army is originally It should be obeyed to a specific person, probably the Taoist ancestor, but Nian Xinke accidentally stole the command. Hey, the third ancestor never expected that this would happen when Nian Xinke died. It was resurrected in Mu Xingqiu, so the power of the extinct Nianxinke was also resurrected, and I seemed to understand..."
Mr. Qin sat down again and didn't say anything for a long time.
Xiao Qingtao's fear of demon souls gradually disappeared, and she became more and more wary of those black demonic tribulations. She took two steps forward and asked, "What will be the result?"
"The result?" Mr. Qin's voice was hollow and ethereal, as if he was speaking in a huge cave. "This is the most powerful force in the world, and it is also the most obedient force. Once released, it can destroy everything, or it may just kill Kill a mosquito."
"Can it destroy everything?" Xiao Qingtao didn't care about the mosquito's life or death, "Orthodox will not let this happen."
"But it is definitely not used to kill a mosquito. Kill Mu Xingqiu? Kill me? None of us are worthy of such a huge power. Between the world and the mosquito, there is a relatively reasonable possibility: Tao The power of the robbery is limited to a small area, which proves that it is still a loyal army, but the gathering of so many forces means that the commander hidden behind it is out of control. "
Xiao Qingtao blinked and began to understand again, "Who is the commander-in-chief? Does he want to destroy the world? Why?"
Mr. Qin suddenly turned his head and looked at Xiao Qingtao for the first time, "I chose Mu Xingqiu. He is not dead yet, so I should always trust him. Do you trust him?"
Xiao Qingtao nodded solemnly.
"Then let us do something that may help him, and it will also help all of us."
Xiao Qingtao felt that she shouldn't believe in the demon soul, but she still nodded involuntarily. The one-foot-square black cloud on the table looked like a beast about to attack. It could swallow the sky and destroy the earth. It was a power she couldn't understand. At this time Any guidance is valuable at this time.
Mr. Qin stood up again and walked back and forth with long steps. When he turned around for the fifth time, he stopped and said, "Mu Xingqiu's son."
"Mu Dong'er? He is not in the imperial capital."
"No, he is here, controlled by the demon species, and then persuaded by the dragon demon... His soul probably followed Mu Xingqiu and the others into the void, but his body remained outside. There is a wonderful connection between body and soul. , this may be the only chance - to find his body."
Xiao Qingtao was about to turn around but stopped and looked into Mr. Qin's eyes, "You are a demon soul. You won't... won't..."
"Will it destroy the world? Little girl, if I have the power to destroy the world, I will definitely use it. It's just a matter of sooner or later. As long as it is something that can be done, you will always try to do it once. That is a This is a powerful temptation that no one can resist. Mortals have a short life span and will die before trying many things. But as a whole, human beings will try everything they can, sooner or later, so don't believe my wishes. , you just need to ask me if I have this ability.”
When she was called "little girl", Xiao Qingtao blushed a little. She didn't ask Mr. Qin how powerful he was. The demon soul at this time obviously did not have the ability to destroy the world. The one who possessed this power was Dao Tong, " How much time do I have?"
Xiao Qingtao nodded, turned and left the tavern.
"Power changes a person." Mr. Qin murmured, as if he didn't notice that Xiao Qingtao had left. "We only do things within our capabilities, and we will always do it, sooner or later."
Flying in the sky of Huangjing, Xiao Qingtao discovered the difficulty of this task. Huangjing occupies a vast area and has nearly a million residents. Trying to find a body whose soul has been temporarily separated is tantamount to finding a needle in a haystack.
There was a sound of horns in the distance. It was the beast monsters led by Pei Zihan who were warning: noon was here and they would attack at any time.
"It's really troublesome." Xiao Qingtao sighed and flew quickly towards the observatory.
The entire Imperial Capital is still in a coma, and the few who are awake dare not go out. Chickens, ducks, cats, dogs and other livestock become more and more restless, leaving the land of shadows and running around in the empty streets.
"Have you found Mu Xingqiu?" Xin Youtao asked loudly, his whole body tense and holding several paper charms in each hand.
"Found it, but he's trapped."
"Ha, it is Mu Xingqiu as expected. He is the most trouble-making person in the world. He either traps others or himself. Then the two of us are left. I have transferred all the mobile talismans in the city. , enough to show the beast monster a bit of strength." Xin Youtao looked very excited, as if this was a long-awaited battle and he could win easily.
Xiao Qingtao smiled. She knew Xin Youtao very well. The more scared he was, the more excited he became to arouse his fighting spirit. She suddenly felt moved. After so many ups and downs, Xin Youtao has never completely gotten rid of the fear in his heart. Timid, but never running away from battle, this requires a lot of strong will.
"I have to find Mu Dong'er. He is in the Imperial Capital. His soul is trapped with Mu Xingqiu, and his body is still outside. Finding him may help Mu Xingqiu."
Xiao Qingtao didn't plan to tell everything. It would be too complicated and would scare Xin Youtao. But these two sentences also made Xin Youtao frown, "Why are the magic of the demon species always so weird? What if there was a lamp?" It would be nice if the Taoist priests from Zhuke were here...wait."
The beast monster led by Pei Zihan launched an attack, and a whole mountain flew over. Although it was transformed by magic, the weight and destructive power would not be reduced at all, and would be stronger.
A bronze talisman on the bottom floor of the observatory moved aside, revealing a rectangular portal about half a person's height, with a large number of paper talismans - some of which had been stored here long ago, and some of which were flying talismans that Xin Youtao quietly transferred from various parts of the city - They swarmed out, like a long snake coming out of its hole. After passing through the magic weapon array set up by many magic weapons in front, the speed became faster and they rushed towards the intruder without fear.
In the air several miles outside the city, the long snake of the talisman entangled the demon mountain. It exploded as soon as it came into contact. The colorful lights were mixed together, and it was impossible to tell which ones came from the talisman and which ones came from the demon mountain.
The demon mountain is still flying, but its speed has slowed down. Each explosion can cut off a piece of it, and there is an endless stream of talismans behind it.
"This is my city, Pei Zihan, don't even think about destroying it!" Xin Youtao shouted while offering sacrifices to the talisman, looking even more excited. He is your master, and you have never been willing to make your own decisions..."
The demon mountain flew closer and closer, and became smaller and smaller. Amidst the continuous explosions, it finally disappeared completely in the air only a hundred steps away from the city wall, leaving a long trail of ash on the ground.
Xin Youtao roared loudly and controlled the remaining talisman snakes to rush towards the beast monster in the clouds in the distance. He not only defended, but also launched a counterattack.
Xiao Qingtao flew into the city and whispered to herself: "Whoever is protecting us secretly, please show up. Mu Xingqiu and the demon species are trapped in the void, and I need help."
