Chapter 14: The Lost Body
The Poison Saint Black Scorpion took three of the five poisons to Lanling City, the kingdom of Yongguo, for the purpose of dealing with Yan Che. It's just that at that time, it was unfortunate that Yan Che had already gone to Jianzhou in the south of Qi Country to blow up a road to Yun Kingdom. Yan Che rested in Jianzhou for a few days, so he did not appear in Yongguo, and they could not encounter it for the time being.
According to Dan Qianzi's description of the black scorpion, the demon man is a young and strong man who looks no different from a human. The most striking feature is a pair of horns above the forehead. The black scorpion remembered the most important characteristic of the demon and began to look for traces of the demon in Lanling City. Of course, Zhao Yige and the black scorpion of the green wolf also know about the appearance characteristics, but in addition, he doesn't know much about the demons.
The black scorpion and the five poisons used to be Yongguo people, and some of the locals would recognize them, so they covered their faces with veils. This kind of dress is not uncommon in Yongguo, because the unique headscarf of Yongguo people is used to shield from wind and sand.
When they arrived at Lanling, they found that Lanling was the same as before. The feeling of nostalgia arose spontaneously, causing the black scorpion to stop and reminisce about the past. Later, they went their separate ways and first learned the details from the people.
Through understanding, they knew that most of the demons had gone out, and now there was only one demon left in Lanling City. The current acting king of Yongguo is Princess Jiang Mengsheng. The black scorpion was also amazed when he heard this, and never thought that a female streamer could actually be the king. After the four of them found out the news, they discussed, since there was only one demon in the palace, that was the best chance for them to start. Although he already knew that the demon left in the royal city was not Yan Che, killing the other party could at least weaken the other party's ability.
The black scorpion stunned the guards of the palace all the way, and easily entered the palace. They found Jiang Mengsheng's palace in the palace, and there was only one guard outside the palace, and that person was Li Jing. Inside the room, there were two women. They didn't know which woman was Jiang Mengsheng, but it didn't matter, it was a big deal that both of them were arrested. Capturing Jiang Mengsheng would at least plunge the soldiers of Yongguo into chaos and make it impossible to launch an attack on Yunguo during this period. The four of them discussed the plan and broke into Jiang Mengsheng's palace.
Breaking in directly without saying hello, Li Jing probably knew that the other party was not good. Li Jing drew his sword, pointed at them, and said, "Who are you? How dare you trespass on this place?"
Poison Arrow Mu couldn't help but say, and shot directly at Li Jing. Remove a few darts from the fabric of his thighs and throw them at Li Jing. The speed of the dart was not fast, and Li Jing blocked it with a sword coefficient. When the darts landed in the flowers beside Li Jing, one of the flowers that was pierced by the darts instantly withered and died, and Li Jing knew that those darts were highly poisonous.
Hearing the sound of a fight outside the house, Jiang Mengsheng and Fu Qinggu walked outside the door at the same time to check. As soon as he saw four people he didn't know standing in front of Li Jing, he guessed that it should be the assassins who came to assassinate. Li Jing turned around and saw Jiang Mengsheng and Fu Qinggu walking out of the house, and hurriedly shouted for them to return to the house. However, the moment he turned around, he was attacked by the other party.
I saw that the floor tiles under Li Jing's feet suddenly cracked and turned into soft quicksand, sinking his feet into it. Then the Black Widow threw out a white ball and opened it on top of Li Jing's head, turning into a huge net that trapped Li Jing in it. This web is a spider web, and as long as the body touches it, it sticks firmly. Li Jing wanted to cut the cobwebs with his sword inside, but found that the sharp blade met the sticky cobwebs and completely lost his strength.
After Li Jing was trapped, the Black Widow and the Sand Ant Lion pounced on Fu Qinggu and Jiang Mengsheng at the same time. The two hurriedly closed the door and fled to the back room. With a "snap", the wooden door was kicked through by the five poisonous two. In the small room, Fu Qinggu and Jiang Mengsheng had no way out, so they had to snuggle up to each other in the corner. The black widow and the sand ant lion saw that there were two women in the house, and they didn't know which one was Jiang Mengsheng for a while. Seeing that Fu Qinggu was holding her stomach, she guessed that she should not, and immediately went to catch Jiang Mengsheng.
At this moment, all the windows of the house burst open, and a huge wave of air came from outside. Seeing that the situation was not right, the Black Widow first controlled the two with a spider web, and then pointed at each other's faint holes. The Black Widow took the two away first, while the Sand Ant Lion went out to check on them.
As soon as the sand ant lion went out, he saw that in the central clearing between him and the poison saint, in addition to the trapped Li Jing, there was suddenly an old man. The poison saint saw the horns on the old man's head, and said in surprise, "I didn't think I would meet here." ”
Yan Tiege waved his hand lightly, and the cobwebs that trapped Li Jing were cut open. Then Yan Tiege said to Li Jing: "They took the princess and niece and daughter-in-law away, hurry up and chase them." ”
When Li Jing got the order, he was going to go to the house. The sand ant lion stopped in front of him, and naturally he would not let him go. I saw Yan Tiege turn his head and slap his palm, and hit a move that was at the same level as Yan Che's God Destroying Palm. The huge palm print flew towards the sand ant lion, and the sand ant lion quickly made the stone slab under his feet soft, and the whole person lay on the ground to escape. The sand ant lion got up and looked back, and found that the house behind him was almost razed to the ground, and Li Jing also took this opportunity to chase the black widow.
Poison Arrow Wood left from the side of the Poison Saint, and together with the Sand Ant Lion, the three of them surrounded Yan Tiege. But they didn't know that they looked like they were surrounding Yan Tiege, but in fact, Yan Tiege was dragging the three of them alone. The three of them couldn't leave Yan Tiege's side alive.
"You are so bold, you dare to threaten the princess and my niece and daughter-in-law!" Yan Tiege said to the three of them.
As soon as Yan Tiege said this, the Poison Saint became even more curious. The princess that Yan Tiege said was naturally Jiang Mengsheng, but what was the nephew and daughter-in-law he was talking about? Looking at him, he should be the elder of the demon Yan Che, and Yan Che may be his nephew. Since this is the case, could it be that another woman is the wife of the demon? This is really an unexpected receipt, and the poison saint did not expect to catch such a key person at one time. That Fu Qinggu may be a more important hostage than Jiang Mengsheng.
The Poison Sage faced Yan Tiege, and it could be seen from Yan Tiege's aura that the opponent's realm was very superb, which also made the Poison Sage a little afraid. He originally thought that there was only one demon realm above him, but it wasn't until he met Yan Tiege that he realized that every demon was a master that could not be ignored. Even if the three of them worked together, they might not be able to delay Yan Tiege's footsteps. With Yan Tiege's Haotian realm aura alone, the three of them had already lost a lot in terms of hard power.
However, the strength of the Gu Poison Sect did not depend on the realm. Among the three people, only the realm of the poison saint is in the triple realm of sanctification, and the other two only have the realm of transcendence. But their methods are enough for them to still retreat in the face of a strong enemy, and that is poison.
"I thought there were no more demons in the city, but I didn't think there was another one. The Poison Saint said to Yan Tiege, trying to test the other party.
Yan Tiege replied: "I am an old man, my legs and feet are inconvenient, I don't like to travel long distances, so I naturally like to stay at home." But you, I just asked you, and if you want to live, tell me what you know. I'm not as merciful as my nephew, and you'll burn your bones to ashes when you make a move. ”
Although Yan Tiege is strong, the black scorpion doesn't want to slip away like a gray mouse. He came here for a very clear purpose, to stop the demons from advancing eastward. Now that the opponent is in front of him, how can he retreat? With a wave of the Poison Saint's big hand, countless poisonous insects flew out of his sleeves and rushed straight towards Yan Tiege. The sand ant lion put his hands on the ground, and suddenly the entire floor was destroyed, forming a huge quicksand. The poison arrow wood also threw out all the hidden weapons on his body in an instant. The rain of bullets rushed straight to Yan Tiege, and Yan Tiege's face was only calm and unhurried.
When the poison saint was born and died for the Yun Kingdom in Lanling City, the Cloud King Li Zixu was still having a headache for Chi You's resurrection.
Instead of being afraid of his own sacrifice, he was thinking about how Chiyou would control him after his resurrection. According to the book saint Han Xizhi, after resurrecting Chiyou, there is no way to control it. In other words, after the resurrection, Chiyou will be a man-eating demon like back then, and will not listen to people's commands. And there are hundreds of people in the Yun country, and it is possible that before the foreign enemy is repulsed, its own people will suffer heavy casualties. It is easy to resurrect a person, but it is very difficult to get him to die again.
The advice given by Dan Qianzi is that if you don't resurrect Chiyou, you still have to rely on the efforts of humans themselves. Although there are very few exorcists in other countries who are willing to come to the Cloud Kingdom to help, there are also masters like the Poison Saint who have already fought for the Cloud King in a distant country. However, King Yun still thinks that without relying on Chiyou's strength, he is no match for the demons. He had already heard from all sides that the demon man had the power to split the mountain, and he could open a hundred-meter-wide path in the mountain with just one palm. This kind of power cannot be defeated by human beings even if they live for hundreds of years. The most important thing is that the people of the Fog Gate have already found the Thunder Sword Zhou Yunlong, and he is by the side of the Sword Saint. However, what he didn't expect was that Zhou Yunlong had been defeated by the demon Yan Che before, and he had lost his memory, and he was accompanied by the Sword Master to recover his memory. In other words, it was difficult for both Sword Saint and Zhou Yunlong to come over to help.
Dan Qianzi saw that Li Zixu had made up his mind, and in the end he could only suggest that the location of the resurrection of Chi You should be chosen close to the enemy. And after resurrecting Chiyou, you must quickly retreat to the defense line and resist the enemy with all your might. The best outcome is naturally that Chiyou and the demon will die together, but there is still a high chance that the demon or Chi You will win. No matter which side wins, it will be devastating for the Cloud Country and even the world. The resurrection of Chiyou seems to have a one-third success rate, so Dan Qianzi still doesn't support resurrecting Chiyou in his heart.
However, the weak sometimes just don't have a choice. In the end, Li Zixu sent Dan Qianzi to quietly transport the remains of Chiyou to the border of Yunguo, determined to resurrect Chiyou at the moment of the war.
Li Zixu sat in the chair, and after making a decision, he was physically and mentally exhausted. The more this happens, the more difficult it is for his heart to be calm. Li Zixu hadn't closed his eyes for at least three days, and at night, he was always worried that the demons would attack here. After calming down, it occurred to him that he needed to sacrifice his own life to resurrect Chiyou. And once he dies, there will be no head of state in the country. He hurriedly called the minister and asked Dan Qianzi to listen. After the ministers arrived, he said righteously: "The generation of Yunguo Zhizixu has been more than 20 generations, and although the people are not rich and strong, they will never sleep in the open. Zixu claims to be worthy of his ancestors, but it's a pity that the army is coming, and the demons descend from the sky to covet our homeland. This king knows that he can't fight the demons, so he has decided to resurrect Chiyou and fight the demons in turn. To resurrect Chiyou, you need the body of this king, and this king has decided to kill himself and sacrifice himself. However, the country cannot be without a leader, so the eldest son of this king, Li Zongyi, will be the prince, and when the soul of this king returns to the earth, you must support Zongyi and help him to continue to prosper the kingdom of Yun. ”
All the ministers listened to Li Zixu's righteous and awe-inspiring words, knelt on the ground with a mournful sigh, and lamented that the country had such a king who was willing to sacrifice himself. This time, Li Zixu had his mind on his mind, and he had no worries. It's a pity that his newborn youngest son Li Zongtang has not yet called himself a father, and he will be separated from yin and yang.
Li Zixu told Dan Qianzi again that he would assist the young prince Li Zongyi in the future, and Dan Qianzi agreed. Just as all the ministers were about to get up and leave the imperial study, Dan Kanzi's men, Inuya, who was in charge of guarding Chiyou's body, ran into the house panting.
When all the ministers saw a man with a dog's face, they were naturally afraid. And when Inuya arrived at the imperial study, he kept sticking out his tongue because of fatigue, and he couldn't say what he wanted to say. Dan Qianzi told him not to worry, but Inuya knew that what he was going to say was very important, and he didn't dare to delay for a moment. After being able to speak a little, he said, "No, it's not good, Chiyou's body, body, was stolen by someone. ”
Li Zixu slapped the table hard, the whole person stood up straight from the chair, stared at the big eyes and said, "What did you say!"
