Chapter 382: Failed to Save Mother
In the more than 20 years that Dongfang Miao has been imprisoned, if there is still a glimmer of hope and spiritual support in her heart, it is her son Su Qiubai. At this moment, the son who has been thinking about it day and night is in front of her, why doesn't she want to leave with him?
"Okay, as long as I can get out of this cave alive, I'll leave with you!" Dongfang Miao said with a smile in her eyes.
Su Qiubai nodded, and used her spiritual power to probe in her mother's body, and found that the jade mulberry fruit had already been connected to her heart, and if she took it out, it would inevitably damage her heart, and she would definitely die!
Is there a way to cut off the roots of the tree and maintain the nutrients of the mulberry fruit? Thinking like this, Su Qiubai suddenly thought of the Shennong Ding, which had never been used. With the aura in Shennong Ding, let alone a fruit, even if it is for the entire jade mulberry tree, it is enough. As long as Dongfang Miao is taken out of Taiyi Gate, it is not too late to find a way to replace Shennong Ding.
Thinking of this, Su Qiubai suddenly felt a burst of excitement in his heart, because in this way he could save his mother!
"Mother, I have a way to save you, but I have to cut off the roots on your back first, I don't know if it will hurt, so you bear with it." Su Qiubai said, and directly took out the Xuanyuan Sword.
Dongfang Miao naturally trusted his son very much, nodded without hesitation, and directly agreed to his action.
Su Qiubai took out the Shennong Ding that had been shrunk to the size of a palm from his arms, and then was about to cut off the roots of the tree, but suddenly a voice came from the darkness: "If you really cut off the roots, you will commit the crime of killing your mother, my good grandson." ”
Su Qiubai was shocked when he heard this voice, he was so bent on rescuing his mother just now that he had already ignored the movements around him, and he didn't even notice when Dongfang came!
As soon as Dongfang Miao heard his father's voice, he subconsciously hugged Su Qiubai in his arms, and said to the darkness: "Father, he is your grandson after all, no matter what, I hope you can let him live." ”
When Su Qiubai heard this, he said to his mother: "Don't worry, with his cultivation, he is not my opponent yet." ”
As he spoke, Dongfang Zheng walked out of the darkness, followed by a large group of disciples.
"Ah Miao, what are you talking about, will I still harm him?" Dongfang Zheng said with a smile.
Su Qiubai and Tengfei both looked at him coldly and did not speak.
Dongfang Zheng continued: "Grandson, it's not kind to you to do this, right? I have already promised to reunite your mother and son, why can't you even wait a few days, and destroy the organs of my forbidden land without authorization, what is your intention? ”
Su Qiubai snorted coldly and said, "What do you want?" I would like to ask you what you want. Don't you know that in a few days it will be the day when the jade mulberry fruit will ripen? I ask you, what are you going to do to my mother when the time comes? ”
Dongfang Zheng's face changed when he heard this, and his look did not escape Su Qiubai's eyes. It seems that he really planned to sacrifice his daughter's life to take out the jade mulberry fruit early on, otherwise there would not be that evasive look on his face.
"Why, don't you dare to say it? Presumably, this jade mulberry fruit raised in the human body will have a different effect, right? Otherwise, would my mother have been dead for many years? Su Qiubai continued to ask.
Su Qiubai's heart was unprecedentedly angry at the moment, so he naturally spoke with a compelling momentum, and Dongfang Zheng, who had originally prepared a belly of excuses, was also a little confused in his mind at the moment. Looking at the young man in front of him who was related to him by blood, he was afraid for the first time. Although he always knew that his cultivation was not as good as Su Qiubai, after all, he was so much older than Su Qiubai, even in terms of experience, he didn't have to take Su Qiubai, a hairy boy, in his eyes. But at this moment, it seems that he really underestimated this kid in the past.
"It's just your speculation, but it's so certain, who gave you the confidence?" Dongfang Zheng reluctantly argued.
Su Qiubai didn't bother to fight a lawsuit with him, and said directly: "I don't care what you originally planned, but today I have to take my mother away, if you know each other, I won't pursue the past with you." If anyone dares to stop me, then don't blame me for being rude, God blocks and kills God, and Buddha blocks and kills Buddha! ”
When he said this, there seemed to be an invisible flame boiling on his body, which shocked Dongfang Zheng's heart and jumped wildly. He couldn't help but start wondering, could he really keep this kid?
But in terms of strength, although he is not Su Qiubai's opponent, he is better than many people, and with the bargaining chip of Dongfang Miao, he is not afraid that he will not be able to deal with Su Qiubai.
Thinking like this, Dongfang Zheng regained his calm expression and said with a smile: "Why are you so tense? Isn't it natural for a son to want to see his mother? We should be able to discuss this matter properly. ”
"Don't you want to play tricks, I just need your word, will you let us go?" Su Qiubai saw through his mind at a glance, so he didn't give him the slightest chance to cheat.
Dongfang Zheng saw that he couldn't make a plan, so he simply stopped acting with him, and directly sank his face and said: "You don't want to toast and eat and drink, can you really make waves in my Taiyi Gate with your own strength?" ”
"It's not up to you to decide whether you can or not." Seeing that he had finally put down his disguise, Su Qiubai put the Xuanyuan Sword across his chest and said in a cold voice.
Dongfang Miao saw that the war between his father and son was inevitable, and finally whispered to Su Qiubai: "Be careful, he has a magic weapon, called the Phantom Dream Cup, which can confuse people's minds with phantoms, remember to keep an eye on your goal." ”
Dongfang Zheng also noticed his daughter's words and deeds, and couldn't help but sneer: "My good daughter really stood on his son's side in the end, and even ignored her father's years of nurturing grace, which is really chilling." ”
When Su Qiubai heard this, another wave of anger rose in his heart, and he reached out and grabbed the root of the tree behind his mother and said, "The grace of nurturing? That's how you raised her? You beast still have the face to speak! ”
Before he finished speaking, Dongfang Zheng, who was still more than ten meters away from him, suddenly appeared behind him for some reason, and across his neck was Dongfang Zheng's sword, if he reacted half a second slower, then his throat would be cut off in an instant.
Before he had time to think about it, Su Qiubai immediately dodged and retreated to the side, narrowly avoiding this killing move.
It turned out that what Su Qiubai saw just now was already the phantom of Dongfang Zheng, but his true body had been around behind him since he didn't know when, but fortunately, Su Qiubai's reaction was fast enough that he was not plotted by him.
Seeing this, the disciples of Taiyi Sect on the side also suddenly rushed up, and Teng Fei, who had been waiting for an opportunity on the sidelines, also raised his sword to meet him. Although he had been farming for several years, his cultivation was far from being comparable to these ordinary disciples, so without Su Qiubai's hands, it was difficult for them to come forward for a while.
Su Qiubai was about to swing his sword to attack Dongfang Zheng, but when he turned around, he was stunned, because what Dongfang Zheng was holding in his hand was the root of the jade mulberry tree that was connected to his mother's body.
"What are you going to do?" Su Qiubai asked in a deep voice.
Dongfang Zheng sneered and said, "What do you say? You already know the connection between this jade mulberry fruit and your mother, and if I accidentally tear off the roots of this tree, she will die. ”
"Brute! She's your biological daughter! Teng Fei, who was not far away, said angrily.
"Biological daughter?" Dongfang Zheng glanced at Teng Fei, "My own daughter has already taught my own grandson how to deal with me, why should I miss this father-daughter relationship?" ”
At this moment, Dongfang Miao's life was in Dongfang Zheng's hands, so Su Qiubai didn't dare to act rashly, just stared at his movements cautiously, while thinking about how to deal with it.
"Don't bother in vain, you want to play tricks in front of me, you're still a little tender. If you don't want your mother to die, just put down your weapons and take them down. Dongfang Zheng said, pulling the root of the tree in his hand, Dongfang Miao suddenly snorted in pain.
Seeing his mother suffering, the anger in Su Qiubai's heart became even stronger, let him be caught like this, he couldn't do it anyway!
Dongfang Miao was worried that Su Qiubai was really deceived, and regardless of his own life still in Dongfang Zheng's hands, he shouted to Su Qiubai: "Don't fall for him, the jade mulberry fruit is not ripe, he won't do anything to me!" Run away, don't worry about me! ”
Dongfang Zheng was furious when he heard this, because Dongfang Miao just poked his heart, and it was expected that he would be reluctant to give up the jade mulberry fruit that was about to ripen.
Hearing his mother's words, Su Qiubai also calmed down and thought about it, what her mother said was right, Dongfang Zheng didn't dare to really kill her at this time, and if she really caught her, it was unlikely that she would turn over again. Dongfang Zheng must not mind killing his own grandson, and then killing his own daughter when the jade mulberry fruit is ripe.
But if he escapes, will he be able to successfully rescue his mother in the few days before the jade mulberry fruit is ripe? An idea suddenly appeared in his mind, an idea that he had thought about before, but did not dare to implement.
If you can get the help of that person, there may be a turning point in this matter. After all, he turned Taiyimen upside down with his own strength, and his cultivation must still be above himself. If you can join forces with him, it will not be a problem to deal with this group of disciples.
After making up his mind, Su Qiubai glanced back at the road he left, and saw that it was all blocked by the disciples, and it would take a lot of trouble to break through.
"If you wait until you take out the jade mulberry fruit, can you let me take my mother away?" Su Qiubai suddenly asked.
He naturally knew that Dongfang Zheng did not intend to leave Dongfang Miao's life, but what he needed now was not this, but to delay as much time as possible so that he could plan for the future.
When Dongfang Zheng heard this, he thought that he knew that the struggle was hopeless and planned to compromise with himself, so he took the opportunity to say: "That's natural, I said a long time ago, it is a matter of course to reunite your mother and son, why not?" ”
Su Qiubai nodded seriously and said, "Okay, I'll believe you again, give you a few more days, and when the jade mulberry fruit is ripe, I will take my mother away." ”
After speaking, Su Qiubai was about to turn around and leave, but was stopped by the disciples of Taiyi Sect.
