This discovery made Mo Xuan slightly stunned and slightly surprised, but he didn't care too much!

He descended on the city, joined Xue Shihan and others, swept away the previous wild and uninhibited, and turned back into the familiar old seven!

The brothers came to a big hug, and Xue Shihan smiled lightly, everything seemed so warm!

This scene made each of them feel in a trance, and it felt like a dream, it was incredible!

Including Mo Xuan himself felt the same way, who would have thought that this war with the Ten Great Divine Kingdoms would be stalemate for so long, and the price paid would be so tragic!

From Mo Zhan Mo Zheng to countless soldiers, all of them have fallen, which can be described as a bloody sacrifice!

Although everyone expected that this battle would be extremely fierce, it was unexpected!

Therefore, the warmth at this time is also full of a touch of sadness, because their seven brothers are no longer complete from now on!

This layer of sorrow is buried in everyone's hearts, after all, the victory of the war and the reunion of brothers at this time is a great joy, and all the children and soldiers are also excited, and their emotions should not be destroyed!

The brothers sighed infinitely in their hearts, after this battle, each of them has transformed and matured a lot!

After a heavy hug, Mo Xuan asked about Mo Shang, curious why he wasn't here at the border gate!

Seeing his inquiry, Mo Zhi opened his mouth and told the truth about the past few years!

From the beginning of Mo Zheng incarnated as a saint, to the righteous qi barrier to protect the country, and then to lure wolves into the house, using the exploitation intentions of various countries to solve the urgent need, and finally clarifying the strangeness of Mo Zheng's food raising!

Rao is a well-informed Mo Xuan, and it is difficult to calm down when he hears these experiences, he never expected that so many things would happen after his fall!

When he heard that the entire empire was sealed and banished, he subconsciously clenched his fists, and he could imagine that the hardships of life were by no means as easy as Mo Zhi understated!

Especially when he heard that the ink merchant could always raise enough food and grass, he was even more born of a bad feeling in his heart, knowing that there was definitely something unknown in it!

The entire empire was in a desperate situation at that time, and if it wanted to survive, it could only trade with those foreign forces, and it was impossible to seek a breakthrough from another place!

Those foreign forces are not charities, they are all greedy people who eat people and do not spit out bones, and if they want to take food from them, the price is absolutely not ordinary!

With the treasury empty, and the personal weapons of many monks even pawned out, it was impossible for the ink merchants to seek food through this way of exchanging goods for food!

So, he must have made other sacrifices!

The more Mo Xuan thought about it, the more he felt that something was wrong, and the atmosphere in the entire city was condensed!

He subconsciously ascended his soul and wanted to find the traces of the ink merchant, but it happened that at this time, the teleportation array in the city suddenly shone brightly, and a chief of the Ouchi guards hurriedly arrived, running with messy steps, obviously panicked!

"Oh no...... Oh no...... The lower official asked to see the emperor, and the ink merchant had an accident...... "The head of the guard staggered, obviously rushing around for days, and was already exhausted!"

His shouts alarmed countless people, making Mo Li's complexion change greatly, and Mo Xuan's heart was even tighter, and he immediately attracted him with supreme power!

"Say...... What's wrong!" After extraditing this person with soul thoughts, Mo Xuan hurriedly asked, and Mo Li and the others also approached, with a look of nervousness and anger!

He had seen so many bigwigs at close range, and he was stunned all of a sudden!

In addition, Mo Xuan's miraculous means made him unable to react in a short period of time, so he couldn't spit out a word for a long time, and in the end, Mo Xuan calmed his heart with his soul thoughts, so that he calmed down!

"Emperor Qiqi and your lords, something is wrong, we were originally ordered by Lord Moshang to carry him here to welcome the emperor's rebirth and return!"

"Who would have thought that before he was halfway through, Lord Moshang fell on the teleportation array, covered in blood, flowing in large areas, shocking, and really frightened us!"

"He himself was even more unconscious, so we were at a loss all of a sudden, and we didn't know what to do, so I could only rush to report all this first......"

……

The chief guard of the Great Inner quickly said in a hurry, and before he finished speaking, he felt a gust of wind in front of him, and before he could finish speaking, Mo Xuan left here with a few brothers and Xue Shihan, and hurried to the ink merchant!

Mo Xuan's soul thought had already probed the location of Mo Shang, and sensed that his vitality was like a candle in the wind, and there was a danger of extinguishing it at any time, so he was in a hurry!

"Whirring ......"

He used the "wind and lightning" to run wildly with the three-flower gathering top cultivation, and finally arrived there after a few breaths!

The place where a few people arrived was in a city not far from the border pass, there was a huge teleportation array, and the ink merchant was going to rush to the border pass with the help of this array, who would have thought that he would not be able to hold on halfway!

When Mo Li and Mo Xuan arrived, they saw Mo Shang lying on the teleportation array, wrapped in black robes, covered in blood, and his breath was completely empty!

Around him, many palace guards and servants have no master, and they don't know what to do!

"Old Five!"

In the air, Mo Li shouted, his eyes turned red directly, and his beard and hair were all open, just like an angry lion!

Several people came as quickly as thunder, landed one by one, and surrounded the ink merchants, kicking up thousands of layers of dust!

Mo Xuan quickly probed the body of the ink merchant with his soul thoughts, and his heart suddenly sank to the bottom, and then used the vitality power of the immortal lock to pour into his body, causing the ink merchant to gradually recover!

After a long time, Mo Shang's heavy eyelids trembled slightly, and the whites of his eyes were bloodshot!

"Old Seven...... Eldest brother...... Third Brother...... Old Sixth...... Shihan ...... Why are you all here......" The ink merchant smiled bitterly when he saw the brothers around him!

His voice was weak, and the joy of the brothers' victory in the great battle was gone, and it was replaced by an incomparably heavy heart!

"What the hell is going on?" Mo Xuan held back his emotions, kept calm, and asked in a deep voice!

At the same time, he used the Immortal Lock at all costs to save the ink merchant, but he was still powerless!

In his induction, the soul of Mo Shang's whole person was gone, almost only an empty shell remained, so no matter how much he nourished his vitality, it was useless, the root of his life was broken, and he was unable to continue!

This result is no less than a thunderbolt on a sunny day, which instantly made Mo Xuan's whole person collapse, if it weren't for the restraint he tried his best, he was afraid that he would have lost control of his emotions at this time!

The second brother and the fourth brother have all fallen, and there are only five of the seven brothers left, and now that the fifth brother has an accident again, the anger and sorrow in his heart are enough to drown the world!

Under his deep questioning, the ink merchant could only sigh, bitter, regretful, but no regrets!

"That's it, now that it's over, there's no need to hide it, and you can't hide it!"

"Brothers, I have been curious about what kind of food I have been seeking these days, and now I will tell you!"

"These days, I've been trading with a war beast called the Black God, who is the person in charge of the beast village here, and the descendant of the White Tiger Ancestor!"

……

The ink merchant took a breath and spoke slowly, but he had to stop and catch his breath in the middle of speaking!

"Black God?Beast Village?" Mo Xuan muttered these two words, and his eyes instantly turned cold!

He doesn't know who the black god is, and he doesn't care, but he is no stranger to the beast village, and the grievances between the two sides have to start from when he killed the Holy Tiger King in the beast valley!

Mo Xuan never expected that Mo Shang's current encounter was actually related to the beast village, and at this moment, he could barely restrain his killing intent!

Although the ink merchant has not yet revealed all the ins and outs, he doesn't need to think about it to know that the beast village will never be kind enough to help the ink merchant get through this difficulty!

Mo Xuan thought in his heart, but he didn't open his mouth to interrupt Mo Shang's words!

"At the beginning, there was one thing I didn't tell you, that is, the beast village let go, saying that as long as one of our brothers can replace Lao Qi and go to bear the guilt, then we can exchange for a month's worth of food!"

"I didn't believe in it, but in the end, I was forced to have no choice but to use a dead horse as a live horse doctor, who would have thought that it would be successful, this is the origin of the first food!"

……

The ink merchant truthfully recalled, the mind is peaceful, but the listener can't be peaceful!

Although Mo Shang didn't elaborate, Mo Xuan and the others knew that the process was definitely not something that could be summarized lightly with the four words of guilt, and they could roughly guess one and a half of it, and their eyes couldn't help but become more and more cold!

"Later, after a month, the grain and grass ran out, and as a last resort, I had to go to the door again to ask for food!"

"This time, I still managed to find food, but the price I paid was ...... My flesh and soul!"

……

Mo Shang said in a trembling voice, recalling those years, he couldn't be calm, and it was extremely painful!

Hearing this, Mo Xuan and the others trembled violently, their brains buzzed, and they became completely blank!

"That black god is extremely resentful of Lao Qi, and he can only vent his anger by eating his flesh raw and swallowing his soul alive!"

"However, the seventh was long gone at that time, so he hit the idea on our brothers!"

"It told me that every time I cut my flesh and soul, it would give me a month's worth of grain and grass, and it would never break its promise!"

"At that time, the people of the empire were in the midst of famine and disease, and I had no choice but to agree, to rip off a piece of flesh in front of it, cut off a part of its soul, and hand it to it!"

"It also unceremoniously tasted the flesh and soul in front of me, and deliberately let me see it!"

"Afterwards, it handed over the food to me as promised, and I covered the wounds on my body with a black robe, covered up my weakness, returned to the imperial capital, and began to close the door to thank guests, for fear that others would find out about it!"

"The next thing fell into a similar cycle, every time the supply of food and grass was provided, I came to the door and exchanged it for flesh and blood, and in the end, I basically only had a skeleton left!"

"On weekdays, I can only control my body shape with Xuan Li to ensure that outsiders can't see anything unusual, but with the loss of Xuan Soul, I am also a little powerless at this point!"

"When my flesh and blood are stripped away and my soul is exhausted, the black god obviously has no interest in me anymore, and his ideas are starting to hit you, big brother!"

"Fortunately, at this time, the barrier collapsed and the war was in full swing, so its wishful thinking naturally failed!"

"As for me, I know that this is a trap, but I must also drill into it, and I can exchange the flesh and blood of one person for the rations of all the people, and I am also satisfied, and I have no regrets!"

"This time, I am very pleased to see that Lao Qi is born from death, and go to the next level, crushing all enemies with the power of the world, I am very pleased to be a brother, I wanted to come to welcome you in triumph, who would have wanted you to pick me up, alas......"

……

The ink merchant finally said the means he had been seeking food and grass, and although his words tried his best to remain plain, the facts that could be explained made people shudder!

What kind of torment is it to feed the enemy with his own flesh and blood in exchange for food?

The body, the soul, the double torture, the absolute inhuman pain, has lasted for so long, just thinking about it makes people shudder!

When these words were spoken, Mo Li Moxuan and the others were all stunned, the impact of their minds was too great, and even their emotions had no time to derive changes!

They gently uncovered the black robe on the corner of the ink merchant's body, and what caught their eyes was a hideous white bone, with only a small amount of flesh and blood remaining on it, and it was obvious that the knife scratch marks could be seen!

On the bones, the fragments of flesh are so shocking that mortals don't dare to look at them at all!

All the flesh and blood were ripped off with a knife, which is more painful than a thousand knives, and it is unimaginable!

In an instant, Mo Xuan's eyes were full of blood, the red color was intense, and they almost completely collapsed!

Their bodies were trembling slightly, their hearts were in pain, and their lips were bitten and bleeding in pain!

Ink merchants, their dearest brothers, for the sake of the people, their own brothers actually cut themselves alive with a thousand knives, watching the enemy devour their flesh and soul!

That kind of suffering, they feel the same way, how can it not hurt!

Incomparably complex emotions are intertwined, and it is impossible to describe them in words, and the brothers can only surround the ink merchant, their faces full of pain and struggle, their eyes are red, and tears are pouring out like blood!

The surrounding officials and ordinary onlookers were also completely suppressed, and they knew where the food and grass that filled their bellies came from in those most difficult years!

All of a sudden, hundreds of people knelt down in front of the ink merchants, full of guilt and grief, and even more full of heartache!

The ink merchant smiled, and there was no regret!

He is the finance minister of the empire, in charge of people's livelihood and trade, and it is his duty to prepare grain and grass!

For the sake of the people, for the sake of the soldiers, and for this difficult campaign of the Ten Kingdoms, he is willing to nourish the people with his flesh and blood!

It doesn't matter how much pain there is, the people survived, the war was won, and that's enough!

He didn't want to tell this cruel truth in public, and he didn't want the people to feel guilty, but this hideous skeleton covered in blood has exposed everything and is difficult to hide!

In the end, lying on the teleportation array, the ink merchant whose mind was close to the realm of fugue could only tell the truth!

His words, every word like a needle, pierced the people, and even broke the hearts of the brothers!

Especially Mo Xuan, the grudge of the beast village was completely caused by him alone, but in the end, he let his brother bear the wrath of the enemy for him, that kind of guilt and pain, almost heartburning!

Mo Xuan trembled and clenched Mo Shang's hand with only a little flesh and bones, looked up to the sky and cried blood silently, his teeth bit his lips, and the blood was sprinkled on the ground drop by drop, and the hatred soaked his heart!

"Beast...... Zhuang ......" He bit his lip and roared in the blood, and an unforgettable hatred popped out from between his teeth, changing the color of the sky and terrifying all beings!
