Exorcism

Most of the demon soldiers were stationed outside the city. Mu Xingqiu and others were placed in a mansion in the city and nothing happened. Pei Zihan, as the commander-in-chief of the demon army, had many affairs and did not have time to receive guests immediately, so they could only wait.

Xiao Qingtao couldn't calm down. When she walked out alone, there was no demon soldiers blocking her or being followed. The bluestone streets were clean and clean. There were green trees on both sides of the road. The autumn air was getting thicker, but it had almost no impact on these trees. , strangely, the unclean air inside the city is thinner than outside the city.

The complete preservation of Baizhang City shocked Xiao Qingtao who had been here. If he hadn't looked up and could see Yao Yun and Fei Yao, this place would simply be a small town isolated from the rest of the world, but it was a bit too deserted. She didn't see a single figure on the street.

Xiao Qingtao remembered that the market was nearby, so she walked there and stood at the intersection of the market street. She even vaguely remembered the shops she passed by back then, but the prosperity was gone, the stalls were gone, the plaques were missing, and the names of each shop were gone. The door is covered with a dazzling array of monsters, not for sale, but probably to ward off orthodox spells.

But when a Taoist priest came over, these monsters didn't react at all. When a gust of wind blew, the bones and horns knocked on the wooden door, making crisp sounds.

Xiao Qingtao continued to walk forward, and suddenly a living creature bumped across from a door. Xiao Qingtao reacted very quickly, summoning Ruyi with her left hand, and reached out with her right hand to grab the opponent's neck.

This is a little boy who looks to be only seven or eight years old. He has a pair of big black eyes and is wearing clean linen clothes. He doesn't look like a demon at all, but he is holding a slender bone in his hand. It shows that this is not an ordinary human child, but a little demon.

Xiao Qingtao was very alert and immediately released her right hand and cast a spell to push the child away a few steps. The monsters come in various forms. They appear to be babies, but their true identity may be a large monster several feet tall. Any negligence or goodwill may cost the Taoist priest his life.

But this child seemed to have no hidden power and no resistance to the spell. After being pushed away, he could not stand firmly. He sat on the ground with his mouth flat, as if he wanted to cry, but he did not dare to face the strange woman. Crying, his expression suddenly froze.

Xiao Qingtao was regretting her overreaction when another tall banshee walked out of the courtyard door. This was indeed a banshee. She was wearing leather armor instead of a cloth skirt. The more obvious evidence was that she had eagle-like claws. With her right hand, she flexibly used her right claw to pull up the little demon, indicating that this was a natural organ, and it was probably her demon elixir. ɱ

With his mother as his backing, the little demon opened his mouth to reveal two rows of sharp teeth - this was the most obvious difference between him and humans - and then stared at the white and red Ruyi, his eyes full of envy, feeling that it was better than The bones in my hand look much better.

The succubus cautiously blocked the little demon behind her, opened and closed her right paw, and said in blunt human language: "You are a Taoist priest."

"I am Taoist Pangshan."

"You're not welcome here, get out."

Xiao Qingtao was not good at dealing with this situation, so she couldn't help but take a step back, completely forgetting that she was a Taoist priest who knew magic.

Some monsters came out of the portals on both sides one after another. Most of them were women and children. They all had some characteristics of monsters on their bodies. They all looked at the foreign female Taoist priest coldly. The little monster with big eyes ran out from behind his mother and took the magic weapon in his hand. Xingu threw it over and shouted: "Kill the Taoist priest!"

Xiao Qingtao fired a small ice thorn casually, and the thin bone was chopped into two pieces in mid-air. It bounced back. The banshee stretched out her right paw to grab half of it, but the other half hit the little demon's forehead, smashing out a small A small wound caused the little demon to cry loudly.

"I'm sorry, I didn't mean it." Xiao Qingtao apologized hastily. She did not intend to hurt a little demon, but she had developed a habit after years of practicing the Five Elements, and she naturally launched a counterattack when faced with attacks from monsters.

The banshee let out a low roar and jumped forward, raising her right paw high in a desperate posture.

Xiao Qingtao was afraid of hurting her, so she took two steps back and summoned a copper bell to shake.

The crisp sound contained a large number of spells, which was extremely harsh to the ears of the demons and monsters in the whole street. The banshee fell to the ground in a hurry, hugged her son in her arms with her left hand, covered his ears, and showed a painful look on her face.

The ringing didn't last long, and the monster hanging on the door of every house finally responded and made another chaotic sound, which drowned out the Taoist priest's ringing.

"Kill the Taoist priest!" A large group of banshees shouted in unison and rushed towards the female Taoist priest. Some little demons also ran after the adults, screaming in childish voices and waving toys like horns and bones in their hands.

Xiao Qingtao became more and more panicked. These monsters were very ordinary. They could easily be blocked or even killed with the Five Elements spell. However, this was an ordinary street, not a battlefield. Those who rushed over were not monster soldiers, but a group of women and children. Xiao Qingtao couldn't do it. At the same time, another calm voice told her that there might be a real demon hidden under the seemingly harmless face, and many Taoist priests died because of a moment of mercy.

The demon group was approaching, and several demon objects had been thrown at them. Xiao Qingtao cast a spell to block them, but she still didn't know how to deal with them.

A large piece of soil suddenly fell from the air, and with a bang, a large amount of dust was raised, blocking the attack and sight of the banshees and little demons.

"Fly up," said a voice in the air.

Xiao Qingtao then remembered that she could fly. She had been walking for the past few days, and in her nervousness she actually forgot about this ability.

The two flew out a few streets and landed in a secluded alley. The courtyard doors on both sides were open, and there were obviously no residents inside.

Facing this man, Xiao Qingtao was not nervous, only angry, "The commander of the demon army does sound much more powerful than Taoist Pangshan."

"Do you know what Furong Mountain is called now?"

"Ghost Crying Mountain." Pei Zihan remained calm and motioned for his cousin to walk forward with him. After a dozen steps, he added: "This is war."

"To others this is war, to you it is betrayal and ingratitude." Xiao Qingtao suppressed the anger in her heart.

Pei Zihan chuckled softly, "Seven thousand years ago, the Nine Dao Dao Tong and the Shengfu Dynasty jointly launched a war against the Kingdom of Sheshen. The enemy was in front of them. Ten thousand non-demon soldiers rushed into the palace of King Sheshen and captured the half-demon royal sacrifices. It was given to the enemy, and for this it was rewarded and allowed to lead the tribe to move to the human vassal state. It was at that time that the Pei family left the Sheshen Kingdom and settled in Furong Mountain. Interestingly, I did not know these things from the demon clan. , but from the history books collected by Pang Shan.”

Pei Zihan stopped and made a serious conclusion: "Feiyao is born a rebellious race. We have two kinds of blood flowing in our bodies at the same time, but we cannot get recognition from either side. Only betrayal can reflect the non-yao race." the value of."

Pei Zihan's words were specious. Of course, Xiao Qingtao would not be convinced, but she was very surprised. She was surprised at Pei Zihan's calmness. He really didn't take the betrayal seriously, but was full of pride, as if it was a betrayal. A great achievement.

"I really don't recognize you. Are you Pei Zihan?"

"This is the real me. I used to be like you, wearing a mask to carefully figure out human beings' thoughts, hoping to please them. Now I don't need a mask."

Xiao Qingtao sneered, "Don't you have a mask in front of the Giant Demon King?"

Pei Zihan did not answer this question and continued to move forward, "A new era is coming. It is not humans or demons that rule the world, but demons. Non-demon must return to the tribe to ensure their own continuation."

"Furong Mountain has become Ghost Crying Mountain, so why talk about its continuation?"

"Furong Mountain is not the only place where non-demon gathers. There are more than 5,000 non-demon soldiers in this city, as well as their relatives, as you just saw."

"Those...are they demons?" Xiao Qingtao was surprised.

"Well, they are all undergoing demon transformation, hoping to become real demons. Some are more successful, and some have changed very little, but very few non-demon die as a result. The demon transforming pill is more suitable for non-demon."

"You are wrong. Non-monsters rarely die because they do not resist transforming into demons from the bottom of their hearts. Brother Xiaoqiu is an example. After he made up his mind, the reaction of transforming into demons was not that obvious."

Pei Zihan laughed twice and said, "Don't rush to make a judgment yet. The reason why Mu Xingqiu is like this is not really clear yet."

"What do you mean?" Xiao Qingtao asked doubtfully.

Pei Zihan once again refused to answer. The two came to the door of a tall mansion. It might have been an official office in the past. Now, instead of the stone lions guarding the door, there were two real beast monsters. Thick hair protruded from the gaps in the armor and turned outwards. Its fangs are as sharp as daggers.

The two beast monsters saluted Pei Zihan respectfully.

When they first entered the courtyard, a group of magicians were busy stuffing a large number of bone fragments and books into boxes, apparently to be packed away.

"Most of the sorcerers here are non-demon, and they are responsible for learning new sorcery. It's a bit like the forbidden secret department of Taoism." Pei Zihan introduced, and continued walking to the backyard, "They are not Yin Buchen's kind. Yishi Jun is an unprecedented great demon clan, but it is a pity that he is hiding. As for the four new monarchs, only the chaotic memories in their minds are valuable. Now they have almost contributed. It is these demon masters who have made their random thoughts It became a real witchcraft.”

The backyard was relatively deserted, with only seven or eight human men walking around blankly, as if they had lost consciousness.

At a glance, Xiao Qingtao saw Shen Zhun, the former law enforcer of Pangshan Discipline University. He was wearing the rough clothes of the demon tribe and talking to himself in front of a pillar.

The dark blue robe on Xiao Qingtao shone like a ray of sunshine into the dark cellar. Several men all turned their heads to look at her. They no longer remembered what this blue dress represented, but they had an endless fondness for it.

Shen Zhun was the last one to turn his head, with a smile on his face. The smile became more and more exaggerated, and slowly turned into a ferocious smile, and he shouted: "Demon species! Demon species!"

The anger in Xiao Qingtao's heart finally broke out, and she summoned Xingyun Ruyi and pointed it at Pei Zihan, "Look what you did to Taoist Pangshan!"

"New life always grows in the most rotten places. I said, this is war." Pei Zihan remained calm and had no intention of taking action. "Please tell Mu Xingqiu that if he can make Yashan retreat, , these prisoners are his.”
