Chapter 454: The Second Black Hand
When he heard that Qiao Changqin admitted his identity as a royal family of the Jiuli clan, this past that had been submerged by history reappeared in Jing Yi's mind. After the death of Chiyou Demon Zun, the Jiuli clan was weak, or disappeared from the sight of the Chinese people, or lived in peace with the descendants of Yan and Huang, and coexisted with each other, forming a thriving Chinese prosperous era. It's just that the Miao people of the Southern Wilderness, and they are also the descendants of the Chiyou Demon Venerable, the Jiuli Dynasty suddenly found the Shenwu Academy, and I don't know what their purpose is. It stands to reason that after the Xuanyuan Holy Emperor traveled outside the world, the Dongyi, Jiuli and Huaxia tribes had already been close to each other under the reconciliation of time, and they no longer hated each other.
Thinking of this, Jing Yi raised his head and asked softly to Qiao Changqin: "Since Your Majesty is the emperor of the Jiuli clan, you should be accustomed to the pattern of this heaven and earth, I don't know what else can worry you?"
"Alas, in fact, why don't I want to lead my clansmen to the rich Zhongzhou and participate in the grand event with the Huaxia brothers? At that time, the Xuanyuan Holy Emperor was a generation of Ming Lords, and under his leadership, the Huaxia Ancestral Star was thriving, and even ruled the Ten Thousand Souls Star Domain, with infinite scenery. Although I am not a Chinese citizen, I am also honored to see my homeland so glorious. It's just that the clansmen of the Jiuli Dynasty have been living in seclusion here since ancient times, and they have long been accustomed to life here, and now if they leave the Southern Wilderness and go to the Central Plains, I'm afraid they won't get used to it. Actually, I have another thing to ask for from the two of them. Qiao Changqin sighed lightly.
Seeing Jing Yi and Bai You's puzzled expressions, Qi Qiao Changqin's eyes flashed with anxiety, hatred, helplessness and other expressions, and finally, he gritted his teeth, sighed, and continued to the two: "Although our Jiuli clan has been hiding in the Southern Wilderness, we have heard about what is happening in the outside world. A few months ago, the powerhouses of the Ten Thousand Souls Star Domain invaded Huaxia, causing all forces in the Star Sea to come to help, although the turmoil finally subsided, but the mastermind behind your speculation gradually surfaced. The three Shangguan brothers are just puppets at the mercy of others, and the real mastermind behind the scenes is the mysterious person with the power of space. When the cultivators of the Ten Thousand Souls Star Domain were expelled, I also had the same thoughts as all of you, feeling that since the black hand had lost, there should be no chaos again in the near future. However, I found out who was behind it!"
"What?!" Qi Qiao Changqin's words shocked Jing Yi and Bai You. After the three Shangguan brothers were subdued by the guardians of the world, they thought that knocking on the mountain and shaking the tiger would make the people behind the scenes dare not show up easily. But at this moment, hearing the words of Tong Qiao Changqin, it seems that things are not so simple. And what the other party is talking about is not the mastermind behind their precautions, he is talking about another black hand! This is more terrifying.
"Actually, I wasn't sure at the beginning, until he came to the Jiuli Dynasty late that night, I didn't know that the mastermind behind the scenes was never alone!"
It turned out that at midnight two months ago, a cultivator in a black robe suddenly infiltrated the Jiuli Dynasty. The man's figure was extremely high, and his whereabouts were so ethereal that it was impossible to see the trajectory of his movements. After this person entered Jiuli City, he went straight to find Qiao Changqin, and forced him to submit to himself, be their internal response, and wipe out all the Huaxia cultivators. Although the ancestors of Qiao Changqin were killed by the ancestors of Huaxia, Huaxia was his homeland after all, so Qiao Changqin did not agree to the other party's request. Perhaps it was the resolute attitude of the Qiao Chang Qin that annoyed the black-robed cultivator, and he wanted to kill the Qiao Chang Qin as soon as he was angry. However, just as he was about to make a move, another black-robed cultivator suddenly appeared out of thin air from the dormitory in Jiuli City. The black-robed cultivator who appeared later was also masked with a black veil, but judging from his voice, this person should be in his twenties. He came to the black-robed cultivator who had begun to appear and whispered a few words to him. Perhaps it was those few words that dispelled the killing intent of the black-robed cultivator, and he cruelly threatened Qiao Changqin that if he could not follow his orders, then the people of Jiuli City would fall into an endless cycle of reincarnation. The power of time is incomprehensible. After the cultivator finished speaking, he left Jiuli City.
"You mean...... The cultivator who appeared at the beginning had the power of time?Moreover, the later black-robed cultivator appeared out of thin air, and he also controlled the power of space?" Jing Yi's heart moved, and Zhengse asked.
"Yes, I didn't understand the meaning of the black-robed cultivator's words at first, but when the two of them left, I realized that I was in serious trouble. I don't know what kind of strange magic the black-robed man with the power of time used, the people of Jiuli City seem to be suffering from amnesia. They forgot everything when they had finished what they had done today, and the next morning they were still doing the same thing as yesterday. To put it simply, it was as if they were imprisoned in a certain day, and the twelve hours were a cycle that never ended. The overseas Chinese chief was diligent in caring for the people, and he sighed with tears.
Jing Yi and Bai You looked at each other the same, and they both saw the worry in each other's eyes. The three Shangguan brothers have only learned the surface of the power of space, and they have already stirred up Huaxia, if there is a black hand who is proficient in the power of time, I am afraid that Huaxia will once again be involved in a bloody storm. Moreover, the most important thing is that the power of time and the power of space are combined, almost incomprehensible, even if Huaxia is able to produce many people, it will not be able to resist it. Another point, Jing Yi and Bai You didn't know if the person who appeared this time who was proficient in the power of time was the real mastermind behind the scenes, or the puppet of that person's demagogy. If it's a puppet, then who is really behind it?
"The two seniors, in addition to the cultivator who made good use of the power of time, the young man who appeared later who was proficient in the power of space was also very terrifying. I didn't see his face, but the bloodthirsty glow of a beast in his eyes was terrifying. Moreover, this person seems to have an insoluble grudge with Ling Yu Shaoxia of your academy, and he once asked me to bring a message to Ling Yu Shaoxia, saying that one day, he will cut Ling Yu with a thousand knives to avenge the revenge of the extermination of the clan!" He frowned slightly, and recalled softly.
"......Is it the revenge of the extermination? Huangfu Longchen?" Hearing the words of Qiao Changqin, Jing Yi's eyes flashed, and he said coldly. Although Ling Yu acted decisively, he was not a tyrannical person, and he had a grudge against him, and the only one who was exterminated by him was the Qianyuan Dao clan of Huangfu Longchen. I didn't expect that the mastermind behind the scenes was really pervasive, even Huangfu Longchen could be taken under his command, and he used people's hatred to do things for himself, and the heart of this behind-the-scenes mastermind was inevitably a little vicious. At the same time, he also had to admire the strength of the mastermind behind the scenes, it was not an easy task to let Huangfu Longchen master the power of space in such a short period of time.
"Alas, I knew that this would be the case, and I wouldn't have let the emperor go that day. Before, his cultivation was on par with Ling Yu, but now he is afraid that it is even more advanced than Ling Yu's cultivation, and he already has the strength to kill Ling Yu but has been holding back, which shows that he is gloomy and wants to be foolproof and kill with one blow. Burying the revenge of killing his father deep in his heart, this kind of heart is really terrifying!" Bai You shook his head lightly and sighed deeply.
"Senior Bai, now that the fellow Daoists of the Jiuli Clan are in dire straits, I wonder if you have any way to rescue them?" Jing Yi pondered for a long time, came to Bai You, and asked softly.
Now that they know that there is more than one person behind the scenes, the only thing they can do is to be careful. Now that they are in the light and the enemy is in the shadows, it is not realistic to find them in a short time and kill them. But when they came to Jiuli City, they were entrusted by the Jiuli clan, and of course they couldn't leave each other aside. The affairs of the mastermind behind the scenes can be discussed in the long run, but the danger of the Jiuli clan is imminent.
"I don't know much about the power of time, but I think there is someone who can solve the problem at hand. Bai You walked to the door of the hall, looked outside the hall for a moment, turned his head and said to Jing Yi.
"Who is it? Could it be that I also know that master?" Seeing the sly light in Bai You's eyes, Jing Yi was slightly stunned and asked softly. In his memory, there didn't seem to be any cultivators around him who were proficient in the power of time.
"The Red Dust Avenue is connected by all laws. Although we don't know the power of time, we have a world-class formation powerhouse, since the other party uses the power of time to set up a spell, then we use the power of the formation to break his spell. While I'm not sure if I'll succeed, I think it's okay to give it a try. And that strong man who is proficient in the formation is Ling Yu's friend, that treacherous fat Taoist priest!" Bai You stroked his white beard and said softly.
Seeing Bai You's confident appearance, Jing Yi didn't delay any longer, and after he greeted Qiao Changqin and Bai You, he immediately rushed to Fengxiangju to find Wu Dao's traces. Jing Yigui is the dean of Shenwu Academy, and he knows the priority of the matter, and now that the grand meeting of the five-year covenant is about to be held, they must arrive at Fenglin Academy before the grand event. And Qiao Changqin is the emperor of the Jiuli clan, but as a descendant of Chiyou Demon Venerable, he deigns to beg for it, and Jing Yi has no reason to refuse. Therefore, he planned to invite Wu Dao here, hoping that the other party could crack the spell of the power of time without delaying the trip, which could be regarded as a good deed.
Since Jing Yi was promoted to the Supreme Realm, his speed has made a qualitative leap, and in less than half an hour, Jing Yi returned to Jiuli City. In addition to Wu Dao, there were also Ling Yu and Xiao Hei.
After a brief introduction, Qiao Changqin led everyone out of the imperial study and walked to the village behind Jiuli City, although the Miao people in Fengcheng are all descendants of the Jiuli tribe, but only the people in this village are affected by the time magic. When the people came to the village, they found that the people inside were blank and empty-eyed. They would only greet the people they had seen on the day they were cast, and as for the others who were Changqin and the others, they ignored them. Seeing the people in a state like the walking dead, Qiao Changqin's eyes flashed with deep regret. These people are his people, how can he not be cared for?
Wu Dao looked at the expressionless faces, his brows furrowed. He walked over to a civilian, took out an amulet from his bosom and placed it on the man's eyebrows. When the talisman came into contact with the common people, a touch of color finally appeared in the eyes of the people, but it only appeared for a moment, and they returned to the state of lost souls. Wu Dao took out three spirit talismans again and pasted them on the chest, eyebrows, and back of this common man. Under the simultaneous action of the three spirit runes, the people regained about one cup of tea. Seeing this scene, Wu Dao paced around in front of everyone, as if thinking about countermeasures.
After pondering for a long time, Wu Dao finally stopped, he turned his head to look at Qiao Changqin, and said: "These people are indeed spells that have been cast with the power of time, although they are exquisite, but they are not without a way to crack them!"
