Chapter 167: Decision
Chapter 167 Decision
The red light flowed in the stone cave, and everyone's faces were covered with a solemn and uneasy look.
The three of them sat around and quietly looked at Xu Ning, who was sitting on his luck. Although he had the protection of the Mixed Element Vajra Protector just now, under the attack of the Thunderbolt Scepter, the meridians were still greatly shaken.
Bai Shenyu's face was even more anxious, she didn't think much about it at the time because she was worried about Xu Ning's injury after she hit Chen Jin hard, but now the situation is getting out of control and becoming complicated.
Chen Jin turned into a puff of green mist and disappeared with the thunderbolt scepter, where did he go?
If he was still lurking in the Gathering Spirit Peak Mountain, it would be a great threat to the four of them, like a ghost that was always around them and they couldn't see the face of the enemy.
A gust of night wind blew into the hole, and Bai Shenyu couldn't help but shudder, and goosebumps all over his body. She got up and looked around, her eyes wandering around, for fear that Chen Jin, who described madness, would suddenly appear in front of her.
Long Tian and Mu Yu were no better, they both clenched the weapons in their hands, their expressions were hesitant. They hadn't seen Chen Jin before, and they didn't know very well what a terrible thing had happened here, and what kind of evil consequences it would bring, but they had already experienced it from Xu Ning and Bai Shenyu.
The entire council hall was silent, the long passage blocked the wind outside, and the needles in the hole were discernible. It wasn't until more than an hour later that Xu Ning let out a long breath of turbid air and took a deep breath.
Xu Ning stood up, his face had returned to his original appearance, under the light of the red light in the cave. Everyone felt that he was much more mature than before.
"I'll discuss something with everyone." Xu Ning sat around and asked in a calm tone as much as possible. "Do you all know what happened to Gathering Spirit Peak Mountain?"
Of course, he said this to Long Tian and Mu Yu, but where did they know anything.
Long Tian was puzzled: "You can make your own decisions about this matter." We will all be at your command. ”
Mu Yu also nodded in agreement.
Xu Ning said: "Originally, Senior Brother Chen Jin was in charge here, but when such a terrible thing suddenly happened, I didn't dare to make a rash decision......
Bai Shenyu interjected: "Now that Chen Jin is dead, he has just become a puppet in the hands of the Demon King, you have to come before us, no matter what, you have to bear this burden." ”
Xu Ning nodded, and continued: "Although you and I are on good terms, it is a matter of life and death for Rashomon, so I still tell you everything I know about it." ”
Thereupon. Xu Ning hid the corpse of the demon king and the murder weapon in the coffin of the stone house in the back mountain, and how he found out that Chen Jin had touched the coffin without permission, before he said: "The scepter that Chen Jin took away, if it falls into the hands of the demon, the consequences will be unimaginable. It is imperative that we find him as quickly as possible to retrieve the scepter and destroy it. ”
Bai Shenyu asked, "Then according to your judgment, where will Chen Jin flee?" Is it possible that it is still here? ”
Xu Ning said thoughtfully: "He was pierced through his body by your sharp blade, and his escape invisibly means that he has completely become a monster." This demonic thing in the Gathering Spirit Peak Mountain can't survive, and it will be purified after staying for a long time. It's definitely out of here. ”
Since he came to the Wild Land, he has been in contact with these dark things all day long, so he naturally knows a lot, and Chen Jin has said it in the past. Juling Peak Mountain is also supported by a magic circle, and demonic things are afraid to avoid it.
"And where the hell is he going to flee?" Xu Ning said to himself, slowly falling into deep thought.
Long Tian and Mu Yu naturally didn't dare to interject. Only Bai Shenyu said softly: "Could it be that I went to the Demon Wind Mountain Range......
Xu Ning came back to his senses and couldn't help asking, "How can you see it?" ”
"The Demon Wind Mountain Range still has demonic energy gathered to this day. And at the foot of the Demon Suppression Mountain is the hiding place of the soul coffin of the Spirit King, Senior Brother Chen Jin... The Demon King's mind was bewitching him, so that he could steal the Thunderbolt Scepter......," Bai Shenyu said his thoughts. The tone was quite sad, after all, Chen Jin was also a person with an extremely close relationship with her, and this misfortune naturally made her sad.
Her words reminded Xu Ning, and the originally chaotic mind suddenly shot into a ray of light.
He stood up and said in a firm tone: "At this moment, he must have fled to the pool of blood, without further ado, we must hurry up and chase him to see if we can intercept him while he is wounded." ”
"Pool of blood?" Bai Shenyu asked puzzled, and Long Tianmuyu also looked at each other puzzled.
Xu Ning explained: "The soul of the Demon King under the Demon Suppression Mountain can't escape, how can Chen Jin get close to the Demon King through the Guò magic array? Now that I have connected all these clues, I feel more and more that the secret passage in the blood pool leads to the coffin space. ”
He saw that everyone was still confused, so he had to continue: "I can't explain these things to you at once, but in short, you will naturally understand when you get there." ”
The three of them didn't ask much, since the situation was so urgent and couldn't be delayed, they all took up their weapons and went to the blood pool with Xu Ning.
Outside, it was dark before dawn, the stars in the sky were lonely, the moon shadow was dim, and the light was obscured by thin clouds.
A few people hurried through the forest valley in the stars and the moon, and the light rain in the first half of the night diluted the heat of the day, and the air was much fresher.
By the time we reached the pool of blood, the night sky turned cobalt blue, and a new day had arrived.
The four of them cautiously climbed into the blood pool, except for Xu Ning, the other three saw the flowers and plants of the colorful fairy orchid for the first time, and they couldn't help but be amazed again.
Xu Ning led them through the sea of flowers as tall as trees, and came to the mysterious cave entrance, which was unfathomable and became more and more mysterious.
"Long Tianmu Yu, the two of you are guarding here." Xu Ning instructed, "If anything abnormal comes out, just kill it and don't escape!" ”
His idea was that Long Tian and Mu Yu's cultivation was relatively shallow, and they had not undergone any dangerous training, so they would definitely be shocked and at a loss if they entered that kind of strange space.
After the explanation was ready, he took the lead in leading the white sunken fish into the stone cave. Start moving forward.
Bai Shenyu followed, and the more he walked forward, the more he felt that every qiē in it was extremely weird. It was so quiet that I couldn't even hear my own footsteps.
Xu Ning also felt that he had come with him last time. There seems to be something different here, as if the cold air inside is even stronger, maybe it's just a psychological effect.
The two of them walked all the way, and they didn't know how many hours they had walked, and the outside world must have been sunny. It wasn't until a white bright spot appeared in the darkness that Xu Ning signaled to stop.
He pointed to the blurry point of light in the distance and said, "That's the entrance, but it's still some distance away, so don't be too nervous when you enter the light." Just follow me. ”
Bai Shenyu nodded, looking at the white light spots that appeared in the darkness in front of her, she felt a little uneasy in her heart, but when she saw Xu Ning's resolute face, she was instantly relieved, and thought in her heart: "As long as I share the hardships with you, I will not retreat half a step no matter whether it is a sword mountain or a sea of fire." ”
Xu Ning exhaled and said softly: "I ran hard all the way just now, and the internal injuries I suffered before began to make me feel stuffy in my chest again, wait for me to breathe for a while." ”
He finished speaking. He sat cross-legged on the ground and began to carry the exercises.
Bai Shenyu also sat beside him, accompanying him in silence in the dark, and she could feel the heat emanating from Xu Ning's body. Let her feel at ease and warm.
Xu Ning breathed a little, and the two of them began to run towards the point of light in front of them quickly, and the point of light became larger and larger as the distance narrowed. In the end, the two of them unconsciously entered a world composed of empty white light. It's like being in a dream.
As far as the eye can see, it is all white, which makes people dizzy. Bai Shenyu has prepared in his heart. But I still feel that this place is too weird, if a person stays here for a long time, even his heart will be hollowed out, and he will become directionless and insensitive.
She followed closely behind Xu Ning, and the black short blade in her sleeve was tightly clenched in her hand.
"Why aren't there any ghosts?" Xu Ning said suddenly, and his deep voice was extremely clear in this empty space.
There were indeed no ghosts, and there were no demons, and the two of them wandered around in it for a long time, and the demon slaying lock in his body was still silent, without the slightest reaction.
Bai Shenyu began to worry again: "I have already walked dizzy, and I feel more and more that this white light seems to have life, and it wants to trap us in its body." ”
Xu Ning turned around, looked at her delicate and soothing as white as snow: "I was able to go out last time, and I will definitely be able to go out this time, you don't have to worry too much." ”
Bai Shenyu let out a "hmm" and smiled like a flower: "Even if I really can't get out, I'll be buried with you, it's not too bad." ”
She can still say such lingering and sympathetic infatuation words in such a sinister environment, which shows that she has a deep affection for Xu Ning, which makes Xu Ning also have mixed feelings in her heart.
The two of them walked away in a daze for a while, but found nothing, unless there was nothing else for them.
Bai Shenyu asked, "How did you see the shadows of those ghosts last time?" ”
Xu Ning replied: "It just came out of nowhere, and there was no warning." ”
Bai Shenyu lowered his head and thought for a while, and asked again: "Then did the soul of the Erling King you said also appear together at that time?" ”
Xu Ning shook his head and said, "At first, there were only some ghosts that seemed to have no malice, and then Chen Jin was entangled by a few ghosts, so I used chains to disperse them, and then ......"
When he said this, he suddenly stopped, stretched out his hand, and the Eighteen Demon Slayer Locks slowly stretched out from his palm, hanging down to the ground.
Bai Shenyu didn't know what he was going to do, but he saw Xu Ning running the vitality in his body, and the qi suddenly poured into the chain, and puffs of green smoke began to come out of the chain.
Xu Ning explained: "Last time, I used the Demon Destroying Lock to beat the Demon King, this time I will try again to see if this is really the case." ”
As soon as he finished speaking, he swung the Demon Slayer Lock into the air, and the ground where the white mist flowed had been burned black by the chains of the flames. Xu Ning used the black chain technique, and the demon slaying lock spun quickly in mid-air, and the billowing green mist looked even more weird in the white space!
In a flash, something even more bizarre happened!
It was as if a black curtain suddenly covered everything, and the entire world illuminated by white light switched to night, a dark night like thick ink.
Bai Shenyu instantly felt that she had fallen into a cloud of darkness, and what surprised her even more was that Xu Ning's figure became clearer, and even the flame light on the black chain in his hand became more dazzling.
And when Chen Jin, who was wearing a moon-white robe, appeared in the distance, he became even more abnormal! (To be continued......)
