Chapter 286: Feather Arrow of Light
The scene suddenly appeared in front of the eyes of the gods. That day, everything happened too fast. It was just after noon, too, in this pavilion, that his servant rushed into the garden in a panic, and threw himself down before him, much to his displeasure.
"How many times have I said that I need to think about things during this time of afternoon, so try not to disturb my purity!"
"Atonement! White Crane Spirit Animal...... The white crane spirit beast fell from the divine domain. The servant of the god said incoherently.
"What?! What the hell is going on? Hurry up and make things clear! The god Qiansu dragged the servant up, and because the strength was too great, the servant stumbled and almost fell.
"The Black Crane somehow got your rune, and the White Crane Spirit Beast ...... in order to take the rune back."
"What about the Black Crane?!"
"I was seriously injured by the White Crane, and now I have been controlled by your two sons, Lord Xuanwu and Lord White Tiger, but ......"
"Why do you always talk half the way, but what?! Speak quickly! ”
"But Suzaku-sama insisted on taking him away!"
"How so?!"
Again and again, the gods were shocked by the words of this divine servant, but more often than not, they were angry. He knew very well that the Black Crane's ability alone would not be able to obtain the rune, so it must be Suzaku who would break through the layers of enchantment he had cast and steal the rune. His heart ached at the thought that his son, whom he trusted and had high hopes for, would do such a bold thing.
Determined to do whatever it takes to transform his deviant son back into what he wanted, he uses a very sophisticated spell to strip the part of his soul that he doesn't think he needs. The part of the soul that he had stripped out was the same golden as Suzaku's eyes, and its form was like a small ball of light.
When he held the golden ball of light in his hand and wanted to destroy it instantly, the ball of light suddenly escaped with its own strength. This situation is very peculiar, even now, he can't say the reason, maybe this part of Suzaku's soul can't give up the obsession to rescue the black crane, right? Or is he still holding an irresolvable hatred and grudge against the god Qiansu as his father?
The Feathered Crane Immortal still couldn't fully understand the words of the Heavenly God Qiansu, so he asked, "But what does this have to do with Qingyun. ”
"The orb of light escaped from the Divine Realm and followed the trajectory of your fall towards the Demon Realm. Before entering the Demon Realm, it was split into two, half possessing Suzaku's past memories, hatred, and feelings for Kurotsuru, while the other half was the simplicity and kindness of his soul. The first half entered the body of a green tiger beast and turned into Qingyun, while the other half entered the egg conceived by a peacock demon and turned into a spirit feather. When the Tenjin Qiansu finally told the truth that had been buried for a long time, he couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief, and the Feathered Crane Immortal became the first person besides him to know all this.
"Ling Yu, do you mean the boy who is next to the demon king fox?!"
The Feathered Crane Immortal was stunned by the truth, even if he knew that the Heavenly God Qiansu would not deceive himself, how could he accept such a thing calmly.
"It's him, that young man should be the kind of person that Suzaku once fantasized to become. Freedom, happiness, love and hate, he is full of contradictions, and sometimes he hides his emotions, but he is also brave enough to show his vulnerable side, and eventually gain the friendship and care of others...... "Tenjin Kanjuku did not continue, because he knew that it was he who prevented Suzaku from becoming such a person.
"It's simply ...... Qingyun still retains the memory of Suzaku, so everything makes sense, but why would he challenge the demon king fox, and why did he want to dominate the demon world. ”
The Feathered Crane Immortal couldn't stop nodding, and in his mind, Qingyun's figure overlapped with the Suzaku who had become crazy for the black crane.
"His ultimate goal is to rescue the Black Crane and return to the Divine Domain with him to reclaim what they feel is rightfully theirs."
"Why do you sit idly by when you've learned all this?"
"If the Divine Domain comes forward, everything in the past will have to be made public, and the fact that I didn't send Suzaku into the Black Fire Purgatory will make the Divine Domain lose its prestige, and once the absolute power of the Divine Domain is shaken, the Three Realms will also fall into complete chaos."
"So you're going to let the Demon King Fox Boy and his friends fight hard?! I wonder if Qingyun has the power of Suzaku in addition to having the memory of Suzaku? ”
"No, the power he has now does not belong to Suzaku, but something more evil than divine power. Suzaku's memory contained almost all the books in my temple, and in these books there were methods of how to gain power in a relatively short period of time, and he chose the most effective, but also the darkest, of these methods, the devouring method. ”
"Devouring the Method?"
"Yes, when the opponent is killed by him, both the soul and the power of the opponent will belong to him, and in this way, he starts with the demons, and then after accumulating a certain amount of strength, he extends his claws to those big monsters, and then he targets the more powerful demons. He was only one step away from having the power to rival the gods, that is, killing the gods, when he challenged the first demon king Fox Li, he wanted to kill the former silver fox god monarch, but fortunately, he did not succeed. ”
"No wonder, when he suddenly appeared in the demon world, he had the power to seriously injure Li. Therefore, you have not stopped him for a long time, and even did not hesitate to let him bring disaster to the demon world. And now, not only the demon realm, but also the human world and the divine realm will be dragged into the darkness together. ”
"I can only help them in secret."
"Oh?"
"For example, I gave them the beads of the Dream Demon, and I acquiesced to let them seal the power of the Four Divine Pillars with runes, and the reason why the Demon King Fox Boy and the Blood Alliance Contractor met was also completed through my guidance, of course, there are many more, but I know that these are not enough to make up for my mistakes. So Hakuzuru, I need you to help that human girl now! ”
"You know I'm going to help her, but with my current strength, it's hard to compete with the Black Crane in the Soul Separation Realm."
"That girl has three key conditions to defeat the Black Crane in the Soul Separation Realm, her courage, the power of her soul, and you!"
"Me? Can you tell me how I can help her? ”
"If you want to completely destroy the Black Crane in the Soul Separation Realm, you must use the Feather Arrow of Light made from your feathers, and I also put a part of my own power in it, and only this feather arrow can destroy his soul. You were once poisoned by the black crane, but you have come back to life, and your soul already has the power to suppress his dark power. As he spoke, the god raised a hand, and three feathered arrows made of the feathered feathers of the Feathered Crane Immortal instantly took shape in his hand, and he handed them to the Feathered Crane Immortal, "That girl will have three chances, as long as she can shoot the heart of the Black Crane, then his soul will disappear forever." ”
"Thank you!"
The Feathered Crane Immortal took the three precious feather arrows of light with both hands, holding them in his hands, and they were indeed surrounded by silver light, and he felt heavy, and his dissatisfaction with the Heavenly God Qiansu had just been alleviated.
"In order to help the human maiden get rid of the demons imprisoned in the Black Fire Purgatory in the Soul Realm, you will face a catastrophe and may die as a result."
The Celestial God Qiansu said this slowly, he had already foreseen the death that might happen to the Feathered Crane Immortal.
"I was probably dead when I fell from the Divine Realm into the Demon Realm, but I miraculously survived. Later, the toxin in the black crane feathers in my body flares up again, and I almost lost my life again, but it was the human girl and her friends who saved me. This time, I didn't want to repay her kindness, I just wanted to fight side by side with her as her partner. There was no fear of death in the eyes of the Feathered Crane Immortal, only a firmness.
"At all times, your heart is as clear as the purest water, and whoever can get the protection of this heart will surely be able to become happy." The Heavenly God Qiansu kissed the Feathered Crane Immortal on the forehead, "Child, may my blessing bring you the power to break bad luck!" ”
"Thank you for telling me all this!"
Before seeing the Celestial Gods, the Feathered Crane Immortal's complicated mood had become relieved, and he knew that it was time for him to leave the Divine Domain again.
"Regarding the matter of Suzaku's soul being stripped out, you must keep it a secret, this is my request to you. The reason why Qingyun didn't say it was because he knew me and the Divine Domain too well, so he knew that once the truth was unraveled, the Divine Domain would not only help the Demon King Fox Boy in the dark, but would start a head-on conflict with him, which would be unfavorable to him. ”
"But what if the Demon King Fox fails? Could it be that the demon world really wants to be controlled by this Qingyun? ”
"You have to believe those teenagers, I see the light in them, there is that light, what kind of darkness will not fade?" Tenjin Qiansu smiled, his eyes full of hope.
"Well, Lord Kanjuku, I promise you that not a word about Suzaku-sama will leak out of my mouth! But I think they'll find out for themselves! ”
"Well, yes, they're getting closer to the truth, and it's inevitable."
"So...... I'm going back to my soul. ”
The Feathered Crane Immortal intends to say goodbye to the Heavenly God Qiansu, and he must rush back to the Soul Separation Realm as soon as possible, where Xia Qiu is still waiting for him.
"You're going to open a door for you straight to the Soul Realm!" After the Heavenly God Qiansu finished speaking, he waved his sleeves, and a gate that was the same as the one that the Feather Crane Immortal had entered the Divine Domain through from the Golden Firefly Maple Forest before appeared in front of them, "Let's go, kid!" Take care! ”
The Feathered Crane Immortal looked back at the Heavenly God Qiansu who had given him love, and the Divine Domain that had made him happy, and then pushed the door and walked in. He ran down the staircase that stretched downward, his soul getting closer and closer to him.
"Xia Qiu, I'm here!"
Before pushing open the gate at the end, he looked down at the three feathered arrows of light in his hand, and then cast a spell to put them away.
