Exorcism

The battle didn't last long, but it was brutal enough. There were hundreds of corpses lying in the thick dust. The blood was quickly absorbed cleanly, and the killing energy was reduced a bit. Many corpses looked like they had just been killed. Statues that were carelessly thrown on the ground upon arrival.

As soon as Mu Xingqiu came out of the cave, the cry of "Demon King" stopped. Hundreds of monsters with different looks stared at him, including even the ten giant beast monsters guarding the door. They were supposed to be Bingcheng's soldiers inexplicably participated in the riots against Bingcheng.

The more contact Mu Xingqiu had with the demon tribe, the more he felt that they were a strange group. Their way of thinking was completely different from that of Taoist priests and humans. They were like a group of mindless beasts that had just torn apart a prey crazily. , he ran over to his master with his mouth wide open, wagging his tail in flattery, as if the corpses on the ground and the fierce look on his face were his own fault.

King Yu and several of his brothers stood in the front row, took a deep breath, and were about to take the lead in shouting "Demon King" again, when Mu Xingqiu pointed at him and stopped those two words.

"I am a Taoist priest and a guest of Bingcheng." Mu Xingqiu spoke, not getting excited because of the reverence of the demons. He knew that such reverence came easily and went away quickly, not to mention the reverence from the demon clan was even less trustworthy. , "If there is a devil here, it will definitely not be me, it will only be my enemy."

The group of demons were silent, a few beast demons showed expressions that looked like disappointment, and most of the demon clan remained calm, as if they were still hoping for a turning point.

Mu Xingqiu knew that he had not completely convinced these monsters, but this was enough. He did not want to get involved too deeply. He took one last look at King Feather and turned back to the cave.

Yin Buchen stood at the bottom of the steps, his face full of disappointment, "Are you really not the Demon King? Anyway, you are already the leader of a group of demon-invading Taoist priests, why do you care about another group of monsters? This is... a God-given opportunity, maybe you If you can really lead the entire demon clan like a giant demon king, then even Grandmaster Pangshan won't be so majestic. I can continue to research new demon techniques for you..."

Mu Xingqiu ignored him and continued to move forward. Flea came over, lowered her head and gently rubbed his shoulder twice to express intimacy and appreciation.

Mu Xingqiu sat on the edge of the bed, looking level with Pei Zihan on the chair, "Why are you doing this?"

"This operation has been planned for a long time and has nothing to do with you. Since you are here, treat it as a gift to you. Pei Zihan was not disappointed, and his voice and face did not show disappointment or anything else. Such feelings, he just fell on the chair, like a corpse that could speak, "It doesn't matter whether you accept it or not, you just need to know your status in the demon clan. "

"I don't care about my status among the demon clan, but you, want to attack Ice City just with these hundreds of demons?"

Pei Zihan was silent for a while, as if he didn't want to answer the question, and then he said: "The demon clan is full of fear. From top to bottom, from the dead giant demon king to the newly born little demon, their hearts are full of fear. fear."

Yin Buchen interrupted in a low voice: "I have no fear, at least not when I was a child. I was quite happy then, and the entire South China Sea was my backyard..."

Still no one answered him, Pei Zihan only spoke to Mu Xingqiu, "The longer I stay among the demon clan, the more I feel this fear. They are afraid of Taoist priests, other tribes, and all kinds of monsters. The most feared are the demons, who can be easily killed by all of this. They do everything in their power to look vicious and terrifying, killing each other ruthlessly so that when death comes, they won't be too afraid. "

"I have a demon heart, because like them, I am afraid of the whole world. I used to feel like a cow and sheep raised in Pangshan Mountain. The Taoist priests let me eat grass and drink water freely, but they kept staring at me. He looked at me and secretly weighed my weight. I once tried to cut off my tail with swords and spells, but I couldn't."

Mu Xingqiu could understand Pei Zihan's feelings. He had suffered the same suspicion before, but he had never thought of betraying Taoism. "Pangshan Taoist priest is not what you think, you know it very well. You are not the only non-demon Taoist priest." , your treatment is no worse than other Taoist priests."

"Well, I have read many books. Tens of thousands of years ago, there were non-monsters who became Taoist priests, and one even rose to the realm of Yue Mang. The problem is not with Taoism or Pangshan, but with myself. Once fear arises, it will not be easy. Eliminate the idea that 'I am a demon' has taken root in my mind, and I must prove it."

Mu Xingqiu understood what Pei Zihan wanted to say, "No matter what others think, I never think that I am a demon. No matter whether the demon takes root or creates anything in my body, I am still me. I was born in the wild." Lin Zhen grew up riding horses, then joined Pangshan and then quit Pangshan, that's all.

Pei Zihan let out a hoarse laugh, "You are admirable. I admired you when we were still at the guest house in Jinghu Village. At that time, as long as you waved, I would be your follower willingly, but you No need. Even now, you don’t need it.”

Mu Xingqiu stared at Pei Zihan. Of course he didn't need followers, especially a non-demon who first betrayed Pang Shan and later was not loyal to the giant demon king.

"I know what you want to do." Mu Xingqiu stood up, "You want Daotong to doubt me, and then I will be like you, looking for a new 'identity' with fear."

"The Taoists have suspected you for a long time. It's just that your contribution was too great and your prestige among the lower Taoist priests was too high, so they didn't take action immediately. I just made the Taoists' suspicions a little deeper, Mu Xingqiu, from the beginning You have chosen a unique path of cultivation. If you fail, it will be a good thing, but you will become more and more successful and become a big trouble for the Taoism. The Taoism will not let you go, because your existence will destroy the Taoism for tens of thousands of years. the rule of."

Pei Zihan talked too much, the veins on his forehead were exposed, and the wounds on his cheeks oozed blood.

Mu Xingqiu smiled, turned around and walked outside. Flea immediately ran ahead and pushed open the wooden door with the horns on his head.

Yin Buchen said in surprise: "We are leaving now. We don't live here anymore? I just took a look and it seems that other caves are not as clean as here..."

Hundreds of monsters were still gathering outside the cave, but they no longer shouted "Demon King" in unison, and there was no look of anticipation on their faces. The Feather King had already led the flying monsters into the air, and was now speaking to the group of monsters, "Bing." Cheng and Langyuan are the safest places in the land of demons. They belong to the entire demon clan and should be open to all demons! The Holy Mother of Wanzi is controlled, Lan Bingju is not a demon clan at all, and Mr. Yishi is also a fake. Go in, rescue the Virgin, and take back the Ice City!"

The enthusiasm of the demons that had just been extinguished was rising again. No demon clan even asked how they should deal with the poisonous gas cloud that even the orthodox can't pass through.

Mu Xingqiu walked past the group of demons and headed straight for the poisonous mist in the distance. Although Yin Buchen was reluctant, he still followed closely.

King Yu was good at dealing with monsters, his voice became more and more passionate, and the responses from the monsters became louder and louder. After a while, the voice subsided, and Yin Buchen looked back, "Hey, these monsters are really persistent. , actually followed them, there are actually benefits to accepting them..."

The poisonous gas is getting heavier and heavier, and it has affected the casting of spells. Only a small blood-stained bone cannot stop the poisonous gas from invading.

Mu Xingqiu also noticed it and summoned a few more magic weapons. He held his breath. With the powerful inner elixir in the Niwan Palace, he could last for about an hour. If he cast spells frequently, the time would be greatly shortened.

The flea also held its breath and ran very fast, but could no longer fly.

Ahead is a large lake, which is still steaming in the middle of winter. It is filled with white gas gushing out from underwater caves. There are also many holes on the shore, gushing out one after another. There is not a grain of snow around, but the ground is as white as the snow surface. Like flakes of salt.

The flea stopped, disgusted with the jets of gas, and stepped back a few steps, unwilling to step onto the salt-like white ground.

Mu Xingqiu jumped to the ground, hugged the flea's neck, and whispered to it: "Leave enough strength to run back to a safe place, and I will retreat with you."

The flea nodded and became quiet.

Mu Xingqiu's third eye could only see three or four miles away, only lakes and no land at all.

Yin Buchen stopped a hundred steps away, not daring to go any further. His cheeks were bulging and he was holding his breath. King Yu and other demon clans also arrived. They seemed to have other ways to endure the poisonous gas, and ran to the edge of the white land, keeping a certain distance from Mu Xingqiu.

The robed half-demon who once guarded the entrance to Wangu Gorge was thrown into the white ground full of poisonous holes. He screamed while still in the air, and ran back immediately after landing, "I am not the son of the Virgin, there is no way..."

A calm hole suddenly spurted out a stream of white air more than ten feet high, covering up the voice and figure of the robed half-demon. After a moment, when the white air dissipated, the half-demon was left with only a skeleton standing upright. It will fall down with a bang and break into pieces. Soon, it will become part of the white sand on the ground.

The demon clan led by King Yu fell silent. Their fighting spirit was just like the white gas ejected from the cave here. They came and disappeared as quickly as they came.

Mu Xingqiu let out a low roar. This was not the Five Elements spell, but the lion's roar method in the Nianxin Bone Forging Fist. The sound gradually became louder. It could not spread far and near immediately, but it was more lasting and almost unaffected by the poisonous gas.

A quarter of an hour later, the roar was already very loud, and the demons' expressions changed. They all turned their attention to Mu Xingqiu, and their awe became even more obvious.

The roar was like a small boat riding the wind and waves, rushing through the poisonous gas and slowly sailing towards the invisible other shore.

Another quarter of an hour later, the other side finally responded, with a clear flute sound, still as clear as sunlight amidst the roar of dark clouds.

Mu Xingqiu stopped roaring, and the flute sound also stopped.

The brown poisonous gas on the lake slowly dispersed, revealing a channel four to five feet wide, and then a real boat sailed over. There is nothing special about the ship itself, except that there is a pillar on the bow, impaling a half-dead monster. This is the Son of the Virgin, used as a sacrifice to the poisonous gas and the lake.

The small boat can carry at most four or five people, and those big beast monsters can trample it over with one foot.

All the demons looked at Mu Xingqiu, and no one dared to take the lead.

The boat docked, and the cave between it and Mu Xingqiu stopped spraying.

Mu Xingqiu and Flea boarded the boat. He looked at Yu Wang and the other demon clans, but did not extend an invitation. Yin Buchen in the distance was jumping up and down anxiously, but he did not dare to run over.

The boat left the shore, and the monsters on the shore looked extremely disappointed. The poisonous gas channels were gradually closed, and they had no chance.

At this moment, a fist-sized ball of light flew from a distance at high speed. At the last moment before the passage was closed, it arrived on the ship and stopped in front of Mu Xingqiu. It seemed to be looking at him. After a moment, the ball of light came out of the window. It enters one of the flea's horns and disappears.

This is a spell that can only be cast by high-level Taoist priests, and only Mu Xingqiu can see it.
