Infernal Artist

"As long as you're full, I'm actually afraid that you won't find anything to eat and will have to eat me." Liu Ping joked.

The little girl giggled.

She opened her blood-red eyes, looked Liu Ping up and down and said, "Your piano sound is very nice, and besides, I can't take it from you in vain. I'll give this soul back to you."

She tossed it casually, and a woman's shadow suddenly appeared in the void.

"This is it?" Liu Ping asked.

"The real soul of that body just now, I ate the monster that controlled her and returned the soul to you." The little girl said.

Liu Ping was stunned for a few breaths.

I saw the soul of the female cultivator slowly waking up, opening her eyes and looking at Liu Ping with a look of pleading in her eyes.

Liu Ping slowly held his hands and made a secret.

Success!

A ray of spiritual light flew out from his hand and quickly enveloped the soul.

At this time, something strange happened——

The soul seemed to be pulled by something, soaring into the sky with a roar, and quickly flew into the depths of the dark sky, never to be seen again.

Liu Ping was stunned.

"You just delayed for too long, and her soul was taken back." The little girl sighed.

The little girl looked at the night sky, her expression suddenly changed.

"She was released again, but this time no one followed her..."

The little girl murmured softly, looking towards the Xihuang Camp.

Liu Ping said: "Wait a minute, I was going to use a kind of evil magic to temporarily arrest her soul, but why did her soul escape? Where did it go?"

The little girl's eyes were even more complicated, and she suddenly smiled and said:

"Forget it, don't worry about the soul. How about I teach you a way to eat souls to help you become stronger."

"As long as you give me a little time, becoming stronger is very simple. You don't have to eat other people's souls." Liu Ping said.

The little girl stared at him.

The expression on his face was natural and sincere, as if he was talking about an extremely ordinary thing.

The little girl didn't know what she was thinking of and was silent for a while.

"Have you seen this fall from the sky?" she asked.

"I saw it," Liu Ping said.

"It is not a naturally formed sky drop..."

"what is that?"

"It's because the plot collapsed, which caused a chain reaction."

The little girl said softly: "Go back, this matter is very scary, and you are not allowed to participate. We will talk about it later."

"I want to see that Vajra." Liu Ping said.

Both the sequence and oneself need to study the Vajra -

That is a weapon that fell from the upper world!

The little girl shook her head and sighed: "I tell you something very important."

"What?" Liu Ping asked.

"The sky drop is completely independent of the plot. It itself comes with great danger. Going to the scene of such a sky drop with your strength is tantamount to seeking death." The little girl said.

"how about you?"

"I didn't expect that the collapse of the plot would bring about such a fall from the sky..."

"I see. It seems that this is the real reason for the monster riots in the Death World, isn't it?" Liu Ping said.

"Of course, the dead are a little uneasy..." the little girl said.

Lines of burning small characters suddenly appeared in front of Liu Ping's eyes.

"Notice."

"The tracker has been eaten by the Red Lord."

"The Judge is aware of the pursuer's death and it is coming!"

"The judge is coming soon!"

"This sequence recommends that you escape from the world of death immediately!"

Liu Ping said speechlessly: "Aren't you hibernating?"

Another line of burning small letters appeared:

"Yes, in order to prevent discovery, the sequence has hibernated. What you see now is an automatic message from the emergency management mechanism."

Liu Ping looked helpless.

Whatever this guy says makes sense, but he just refuses to do anything.

...Forget it, don't count on it.

got windy.

In the dark night, the cold wind howled and suddenly blew the little girl's long hair.

She suddenly woke up and looked up at the thick lead clouds, as if her eyes could penetrate through them and see the scene behind the clouds.

"...Have you been targeted?" the little girl murmured.

"Did eating that monster cause you some trouble?" Liu Ping asked.

"It's okay, I was just going to see that guy's strength." The little girl said.

She thought for a few seconds and murmured: "By the way... I seem to have told you to see the truth of this world."

"Yes, you said it." Liu Ping said.

"It's too dangerous to fight. Don't stay here. Go back to the camp first and take a look - I think you might be interested."

The little girl stretched out her hand, tapped Liu Ping's eyebrows lightly, and then lightly made a slit in the magic circle behind him.

With a slight push from the little girl, Liu Ping retreated into the magic circle.

"Sorry, your war formation is very powerful...but I have the ability to pass through barriers."

she said at last.

…

Inside the camp.

Liu Ping stood on the edge of the inner side of the formation, silent for a while.

--asshole!

He looked pitiful and kept saying that he couldn't enter the human camp.

In the blink of an eye, he opened a hole in the large magic circle and pushed himself in.

Thinking of what happened just now, Liu Ping became angry.

He turned around and walked away, faster and faster, all the way through Fangshi——

The pace slowed down.

In the void, lines of burning small characters appeared quickly:

"Attention, the other party has released an unknown spell on you."

"You have been affected by this spell."

"——Your pupils are undergoing this technique."

"We are about to see the effects of this technique, counting down:"

"three,"

"two,"

"one!"

Liu Ping was originally standing still among the crowd, with a wary look on his face, but suddenly——

He looked slightly surprised.

A few seconds later.

Liu Ping's eyes became a little more confused.

He took steps forward, observing the practitioners around him blankly as he walked.

"Do you want me to see this?"

he whispered softly.

——In his eyes, the world is no longer the same as before.

Behind all the practitioners, there is a long thread that exudes a faint halo.

Everyone has such a thread!

This line is connected to the top of their back spines, and the other end rises high, leading to the depths of the dark sky with no end in sight.

But no one was aware of it.

They seemed to be in some kind of dreamland, carrying out the things they were doing according to a fixed script, but they didn't know why they were so busy.

Liu Ping couldn't help but look at his back.

No.

I don't have this thread.

He walked towards a person, passed by the other person's back, and raised his hand to stretch.

——The arm passed through the thin line and had no effect on it.

Not knowing what he thought of, Liu Ping quickened his pace and walked in the direction of the sects.

He passed through many camps and finally reached his destination.

Tianyin Pavilion Camp!

"Sir, are you okay?" A male cultivator stood at the door of the camp and asked.

"I'm looking for fellow Taoist Lianyu," Liu Ping said.

The male cultivator looked him up and down, and suddenly saw his waistband.

Taiwei Palace.

He nodded slightly, opened the curtain, and called inside: "Junior Sister Lianyu, someone is looking for you."

A voice came from afar:

"Here, who is it?"

In Liu Ping's expectant eyes, a woman slowly walked out of the tent and looked at him with doubts on her face.

It was Lianyu.

"Fellow Taoist, I seem to have never seen you before." Lianyu said hesitantly.

Liu Ping looked at her and was speechless.

Behind Lianyu, there is also a long line that leads to the depths of the dark sky.

She gained another body and was resurrected.

Liu Ping looked above her head.

A line of small characters appeared there:

"Golden elixir realm."

——There is no more word "monster".

So what was eaten by the little girl just now was actually the monster?

The little girl's name is the Lord of True Red.

"The existence with this name feeds on all devils and controls all poisons in the world."

...That monster is the devil.

"I've really never seen it before. I just listened to your music outside and was impressed by it, so I came here to praise it." Liu Ping said, holding his fists.

Lianyu was suddenly enlightened and smiled sheepishly.

Recently, many people have come to talk to me, even this person——

Huh?

Upon closer inspection, he is much more handsome than the others.

And he is also a disciple of Taiwei Palace.

Not very old.

...is my favorite type.

"If you want to listen to music, you can come to sister at any time. Sister will not accept your spirit stones." Lianyu smiled at him and handed over a communication talisman.

"Thank you, I will do it next time." Liu Ping said.

He exchanged a few pleasantries with the other party, then said goodbye and turned to leave.

On the road, everyone has that thread behind them.

Countless lines intertwined in the night sky, going deep into the clouds, making it impossible to see where they were going.

Liu Ping looked up for a while, with a complicated look on his face.

What is behind this thread?

one way or another.

The practitioners have been playing their original roles. Even if they die, their souls will be taken away so that they can be resurrected at any time, come back, and join the entire deduction process again.

——But they themselves are ignorant of everything.

"It's really upsetting... People who are determined to transcend life and death end up in a situation worse than death..."

Liu Ping squinted his eyes and slowly clenched his fists.

After a while.

The spell attached to Liu Ping's pupils gradually faded away, and those lines slowly disappeared from his eyes.

Lines of burning small characters quietly emerged:

"You've seen a kind of manipulation of sentient beings that you've never seen before."

"It's an extremely rare secret."

"Your role has increased a bit."

"The current scene is 7/10."

"When your role reaches 10 points, you will gain new mysterious abilities."

"Please keep up the good work."
