Exorcism

From a distance, the demon city looks like a forest. Countless demon towers are scattered all over the land within a hundred miles, ranging from ten to more than a hundred feet high. They are uneven in thickness and appear quite slender. There are flying towers built on the top of the demon towers. The demon's lair is surrounded by demon soldiers' caves at its feet, with various demon weapons hanging in the middle.

The unclean air filled the area, which was similar to the concentration after the Demonic Cloud Arrow exploded. The entire area was covered in gray. When Mu Xingqiu flew over the side, he could not see anything but demonic towers of different heights, not even with his third eye. You can only see scenes within more than ten miles.

The once prosperous Baizhang City was designated as the Demon Capital by the Giant Demon King because of its auspicious name. Now it was submerged in the demonic aura, and Mu Xingqiu didn't even see it.

"It will take at least a thousand years to completely drive away the unclean air here." The dragon demon pointed to the demon tower closest to the two of them. "These towers can continuously produce unclean air and absorb it. Part of it is injected into the ground.”

"Why are there no demon soldiers stationed there?" Mu Xingqiu carefully observed that neither the lair on the tower nor the cave under the tower seemed to be inhabited by demons.

"The demon soldiers are just supplements, they are not needed here."

As soon as the dragon demon finished speaking, more than a dozen demon towers suddenly flashed red at the same time and connected together, like a huge eye, staring at the passers-by until they gradually walked away. During this period, the dragon demon kept holding Lao Jun's magic palm. , it is like a pass, lifting the demon tower's vigilance.

A few hundred miles northwest of Baizhang City is the hometown of Laozu Peak, now known as the "Demon Mountain Pass". Demon towers stand along the way, but the middle section of the road is sparse, but more demon soldiers are deployed, and the inspections are more rigorous. Everything was handled by the Dragon Demon. She was proficient in almost all demon languages ​​and could often get through with a few roars or screams. Mu Xingqiu, who was wearing Taoist attire, was obviously treated as a prisoner and did not attract too many inquiries.

"You have learned a lot in the past few years." Mu Xingqiu said.

Long Mo smiled brightly, which was completely different from Fang Fang, who was reserved to a bit shy. She did not hide her happiness at all, her face was always filled with a smile, and she seemed to really enjoy meeting Mu Xingqiu again, "Of course, I found out The language of the demon tribe is particularly easy to learn, and they are also particularly easy to deal with.”

"You like monsters very much?"

The night was getting dark, and even the demon soldiers and demon towers seemed to have taken a rest. The two of them rarely encountered questioning. The dragon demon approached Mu Xingqiu and flew side by side with him. "Why must we choose between demons and humans?" What about one? Can’t I like you and a certain little demon at the same time?”

"Because the hatred between humans and demons is irreconcilable, sooner or later there will be a life-and-death battle. What would you do if I faced off against a certain little demon you like?"

"I will advise you to stop. If you don't listen, I have no choice but to let you fight. I will just watch. Then I will read a eulogy in the language of the deceased. There is no hesitation or contradiction in the dragon demon's heart. Everything Everything was extremely simple in her eyes, and suddenly she smiled, "If you die, I will read "The General's Journey" to you, but it's a pity that I can't sing it. "

Even the matter of life and death, which humans and monsters care most about, she has no taboos about.

"You want to rescue the successors of Nianxinke in the Demon-Batting Cave, right?" Mu Xingqiu has always had this doubt in his heart. According to Zuo Liuying's speculation, the true illusion was created by Nianxinke's magic, with the purpose of one day rescuing those prisoners. "They have been dead for a long time, and only their souls are left. Even if they take even half a step away from the cave, their souls will immediately fly away."

The Dragon Demon smiled proudly, "I know everything in your heart, but you know nothing about me, so you think it's unfair, right? Haha, you'd better not guess, I won't reveal the secret in advance Yes, it won’t do you any good, and it will only do me harm. Become stronger as soon as possible, and then all the truth will naturally be revealed to you. I’m afraid you will feel that it’s better not to know the truth.”

Mu Xingqiu did not ask further. He just wanted to rescue Yang Qingyin and others as soon as possible. He had already flown at the fastest speed, but in the unclean atmosphere, his speed was less than half of the usual speed.

The next afternoon, the two finally arrived at the Demon Mountain Pass. If they wanted to go to the spirit demon's territory, they had to pass through an area densely covered with demon towers and unclean air. There was no other way. Mu Xingqiu could no longer fly, so the two of them landed on foot and soon arrived at a checkpoint. Laojun's demonic palm and the demon tribe's language were still unimpeded, and they even got a blood-eyed demon horse to serve as their mounts.

The appearance of blood-eyed demon horses is not much different from ordinary horses, except that their eyes are red, but their habits are very different. They only eat raw meat, are happy at night, and sluggish during the day. They run extremely fast, but not very steadily.

After riding for dozens of miles, there were more and more monster sentry posts, and their inquiries became more and more detailed. Flying monsters often suddenly fell from the sky and circled above the two of them before leaving.

"You smell like a Taoist priest so much that many demon soldiers noticed it."

"I can pretend to be a demon soldier."

"No need, just don't say anything."

There are mountains ahead. Mu Xingqiu knows that this place is not far from the hometown of Laozu Peak, but he can't see any familiar scene. In addition to the dense demon towers, there are also many demon fires of different colors. Since they were lit, It has never been extinguished. It is particularly eye-catching in the dark night, and waves of heat can be heard from a distance.

There was a huge military camp on the only way into the mountain. Here, the two of them encountered a stubborn obstacle. Both Laojun's magic palm and the language of the demon clan failed.

The dragon demon negotiated with a large group of beast monsters, but Mu Xingqiu couldn't understand a word of what he said. After a long time, the dragon demon said to him: "There is no way, I have to stay here for one night. The giant demon king just issued an order. No matter who If you want to enter the spirit demon territory, you must obtain his permission in person, and I have to see him tomorrow morning."

The cave here is dry and tidy, with no bugs crawling around. Except for the lack of windows, it is no different from a human residence. It also has tables, chairs, beds, cupboards and other furnishings.

There were demon fire candles burning in the cave, illuminating the whole room as bright as day.

The dragon demon sat by the bed and said with a smile: "We have to live in a cave, because I told them that you are my prisoner."

"That's a good idea. Don't you need to tie me up?"

"I am a new and strange king of demons, Dragon Demon, with strong demonic power. Of course I don't need ropes or anything like that. You see, those demon soldiers all believe in me." The dragon demon smiled and kept looking at Mu Xingqiu, as if he couldn't get enough. " You are no longer lively and talkative."

"I just finished a retreat that lasted more than five years, and I can be quite silent sometimes."

"Well, I heard about it, so I found Xiaohao for you in the place where disciples were selected in Luanjing Mountain. I have a hunch that she will become a great Taoist priest, and the Nianxin Science will be truly revived in her hands."

Mu Xingqiu hasn't seen Duan Caihao's potential yet, and doesn't want to discuss the matter. "There are still two hours before dawn, and I want to think about it for a while."

"Okay, the inner alchemy will not become stronger by itself. It does need to be practiced from time to time. Just think about it. I want to take a nap." The dragon demon said he would go to sleep and fell on the bed and rolled up the quilt around him. The candle was automatically extinguished. Soon her breathing became shallow and even.

Half an hour later, Mu Xingqiu woke up from his thoughts on time.

He was already in the old place of Pangshan, and recognized the specific location of the barracks. This was the place where it was used back then. The village had been completely razed, and the nearby peaks had also been transformed, but the general terrain had not changed. The road leading to Lao The mountain trails of Zufeng are still there.

Mu Xingqiu looked at Long Mo, who was sleeping soundly with his limbs spread out on the bed, and once again asked himself how long he should trust her.

Why is the dragon demon trusted by the demon clan? Why do you know so many secrets? Why can we travel freely? So far, Xin Youtao's suspicion has not been explained, Mu Xingqiu has not asked, and Long Mo has never mentioned it, as if he thinks this trust is a matter of course.

Mu Xingqiu took out a four- to five-inch long piece of fine incense. The aroma could make the dragon demon sleep deeper. From now on, he would act alone.

Intuitively, Mu Xingqiu still believed that the dragon demon would never harm him, but rationally, Mu Xingqiu felt that it was better to be cautious.

With everything he needed to dress up as a demon soldier, Mu Xingqiu quickly transformed into a half-demon soldier full of demonic aura. He left the cave and walked towards the mountain path, trying to stay away from the demon tower and avoid all demons on the way. fire.

He wanted to calculate the distance, and then use the Sky Escape Orb to directly enter the spirit demon's territory. This move would probably be discovered by the demon soldiers, but he couldn't care less. If the ordinary demons were really afraid of the spirit demon, they would not chase them in.

There was the sound of flapping wings in the air. It was a group of patrolling flying monsters passing by. Mu Xingqiu moved forward calmly without dodging. The sound of the flying monsters gradually faded away, and no one came down to inquire.

This is already the hinterland of the demon clan. Without soldiers pressing down on the territory, the demon soldiers are not particularly vigilant.

However, there are still dozens of demon soldiers guarding the entrance to the mountain path. On one side of the intersection is a bright green demon fire, and on the other side is a demon tower more than twenty feet high. Various demon weapons are hung on each floor of the demon tower. , swaying gently like wind chimes, some did make a sound, but it was not pleasant, like a group of ghosts whispering.

A furry demon head hanging by the tower was staring at Mu Xingqiu from a distance. Its tawny eyes reflected the bright green demon fire, and they flashed with strange light, as if they were still alive.

The demon soldiers under the tower also noticed the half-demon walking alone. A tall beast demon shouted in an unskilled human language: "Where's the meat? Are you the food tonight? It's not enough for me to fill my teeth. Find some fat bastards."

"I want human flesh!" Another equally tall beast monster also roared, "It must be fresh human flesh. I don't want to eat dried meat anymore."

The eyes of the demon head on the tower began to move, and as Mu Xingqiu approached, they moved faster.

Mu Xingqiu's observation was almost done. He didn't need to enter the mountain path. There was an invisible magic barrier ten miles deep to the north. Behind it was obviously the territory of the spirit demon. He only needed to perform an air escape to reach it. The only problem was How powerful is that magic barrier? Can it be passed through smoothly?

The beast monsters' jokes received no response, which aroused their vigilance. They took out their weapons and ordered the attackers to stop.

Mu Xingqiu stopped dozens of steps away, holding the Sky Escape Orb in his hand, ready to cast a spell.

At this moment, the bright green demonic fire suddenly grew several times taller. The numerous demonic weapons on the demonic tower were beating wildly and making noises. The demonic barrier ten miles away was no longer invisible, but turned into a sheet of red. The sea of ​​fire is like a tall wall.

A maroon horse jumped out of the sea of ​​fire, stood in mid-air, and neighed loudly.
