In March of the 569th year of the Eltino calendar, the Demon Realm Middle Finger Mountain

For the human expeditionary force that was still trapped in the demon realm, everything happened too unexpectedly, and within a few days of immersing themselves in the sense of accomplishment full of harvest, the news of the battle of Jixia came from the human realm.

Before this, they had just found out the true face of the Deep Blue Demon King, and spread this information widely in the demon world, causing changes in people's hearts, and the situation was a good time, but they suddenly learned that someone had raided their lair.

"Is this kind of thing a joy or a tragedy? Or is it retribution? We come to the enemy's rear to make trouble, and the enemy also goes straight to our rear. ”

Nier, who was packing her bags, said helplessly, but Izumi Sakura didn't think so. Originally, before going to the Demon Realm, everyone had already guessed that the Great Demon God King might directly attack Jixia, but the current situation is just that this speculation is really staged, and it can even be said that compared to the original estimates, Yinzhen will actually delay attacking Jixia until now, which is already a very incredible thing.

In the Demon Realm, there was indeed something gained, and the enemy attacked Jixia later than expected, so it was actually a good way to go, but when they knew the actual casualties of Jishita, even if Jixia did not send any contact, they still made the decision to go back.

"You guys just go back first, the things that should be explored have been explored, there is no point in staying here longer, you go back a day earlier, Xiao Wu will be much easier." ”

The person who spoke was Pandora, the principal of the Qinglou Alliance. Because of her existence, Niel and the others were able to maintain contact with the human world and get new information, and when the battle of Jixia was over and the report was sent to her, Pandora was also shocked by Shi Chong's sudden death.

The dark queen who controls ninety percent of the information circulation of the Wind Continent is not omniscient and omnipotent, and the mystery of Hua Tianxie's life experience, although it was captured by the intelligence network of the Chiba family, was intercepted by Shi Chong, and Pandora never knew about it for many years, and now she learned that Shi Chong gave up her life for her son, and she felt really shocked and inexplicable.

The power struggle between Pandora and Shi Chong only surfaced in the past two years, but in the previous hundred years, the two sides kept secretly clashing each other, which can be regarded as old rivals, such old enemies disappeared overnight, and Pandora seemed quite difficult to adapt for a while, and finally in order to respect the opponent and respect the once brilliant competition, she prayed for the blessings of the old enemy very seriously, and made a brief silence.

"Oh, a moment of silence, but if it weren't for the fact that I couldn't have a sumptuous feast here, I would have liked to celebrate with a drink. The thorn that has been against the back for many years has finally been pulled out, haha......"

"Don't be too happy, for people living in the dark world, it is not necessarily a good thing to eliminate the thorns in the back, if you relax because of the sudden loss of pressure, this life will probably not last long. ”

"Hehe, these words are really to the point, but compared to my potential crisis in the future, you who are about to meet Yinzhen on the battlefield don't seem to worry about my spare time. ”

Pandora smiled and teased Izumi Sakura and Nier, and when the two of them packed their bags, she had no intention of going along, saying that she wanted to stay in the Demon Realm.

"Even if I return to the human realm, I can't do anything, Yinzhen's martial arts are invincible in the world, and it is almost impossible to make enemies of him head-on, but it is better to hide in the demon realm and take over the dark pipeline established by Shi Chong, there is a lot of room to make waves. ”

Pandora's thinking is indeed far-sighted, as early as when she came to the Demon Realm, she had already planned everything, and she had already thought about the way out and the way out. If Shi Chong is still there, in order to take care of Shi Chong's advantages in the Demon Realm, Pandora is bound to keep a low profile, but now that Shi Chong is dead, although Yinzhen is eloquent, he is not good at dealing with the struggles of these dark worlds, and Pandora, who is the supreme commander of the Chiba family in the Wind Continent, can calmly accept the intelligence system established by Shi Chong.

With these, it will be more advantageous to do things in the demon world in the future, and even as long as it is hidden properly, it can become another shadow regime that fights with Yinzhen in the demon world, and it will never be caught, but it will always be like a maggot attached to the bones, and it will become a nightmare in people's hearts.

"On the other hand, it's not so much that I won't go back, but that I can't go back......"

Pandora also has her own subordinates and forces in the human world, and the scale will only be larger than that of the demon world, if she wants to firmly grasp the power, she should return to the human world immediately, but one factor makes her deeply jealous, that is, the immortal tree that fell into the hands of Yinzhen.

When the ability of the undead tree is activated, it is said that it can affect the hearts of the entire Wind Continent, and even control it from a distance, Pandora is not sure whether she can be uncontrolled, if you want to cooperate with multiple enchantments to resist, then there is a ninety percent chance of success, but in this way, wouldn't you be unable to leave the enchantment for the rest of your life? Even if it is specially made into a movable enchantment, it is just running around with a big prison, and the dignity of life can be said to be completely destroyed.

Because of this, Pandora resolutely came to the Demon Realm, and was prepared that she would not plan to return to the Human Realm until the Immortal Tree incident was resolved.

"You have to work hard, if you can't win, I will drift in the demon world for the rest of my life and become a native here. ”

"Don't say it as if it's pitiful, it's us who are actually going to fight...... By the way, what about that guy who wants money? Don't tell me he's going to practice martial arts or dig gold in a few days!"

Niel frowned and complained, but Hinter had already left two days ago and returned to the human realm, calculating the time, and he should have arrived at the human realm by this time.

Hunter didn't tell anyone why he left, or even said goodbye quietly, but Pandora, who had known him for many years, vaguely guessed his thoughts. The big war is coming, if there is something on your mind that needs to be explained, it is best to deal with it as soon as possible, and Hante's heart is ...... Those who knew him well knew it well.

"There's only one thing I need to break with, and that's the woman. ”

Hunter had said this to Pandora, but the Dark Queen, who was good at perceiving people's hearts, sensed another meaning in this sentence, not so much that it needed to be broken, but that it could not be let go.

"If you haven't loved, you haven't paid attention to it, the hatred won't be so deep, but emotions are very subtle, the farthest away from the poles, the more likely it is to suddenly turn upside down, whether it's a human or a demon, it's no different in this regard. ”

Pandora understands that Hinter wants to take care of his personal affairs quietly, so she lets him go alone, thanking him for his help during this time.

In fact, half of Pandora's achievements in the Demon Realm are due to Han Te, if it weren't for his active running among the major clans in the Demon Realm, relying on his incorruptible tongue, being brave and strategic, and relying on the intelligence information and martial arts in his hands, to move the leaders and elders of the major tribes one by one, then Pandora would have taken a longer time to make the hearts of the people in the Demon Realm fluctuate.

"You don't have to thank me for doing these things...... Do you think you don't need to take money? Even if you give a 20% discount on the old customers, you can't afford to pay off this account!"

After Hao Kelian revealed his true face, Han Te no longer had to hire the Qinglou Alliance to help find his sister, and the debts would not accumulate again, and the economic pressure would be reduced, but he had become a habit of this kind of life, but he was still happy with the pleasure of collecting money, even if it was a major event to join forces to deal with the demons, he did not forget to collect remuneration from it.

"This is really a community of interests, if the Qinglou Alliance goes bankrupt, I will have no money to collect, in order to receive the final payment of each commission, I will try my best to kill the Great Demon God King. ”

Hunter had raised his glass so confidently before, Nier listened to it, and only felt "Why are you fighting for such a vulgar reason", Izumi Sakura was speechless, only Lancelot nodded vigorously, and raised his glass to touch Hunter.

In the list of returning to the human world, Lancelot, who is the main combat force, is not included. After everyone's discussion, he would stay in the Termination Mountain, study as much as he could, and then set off to return to the Human Realm until the final battle of the Human Realm came.

So far, the trip to the Demon World has indeed made great gains, not only has the hearts of the entire Demon World been scattered, but also accidentally discovered the true face of the Deep Blue Demon King, in the martial arts realm, Lancelot and Nier have also entered the realm, but overall, there is still something decisive missing, and it is impossible to provide a guarantee for fighting Yinzhen in the upcoming final battle.

The reason why Nier had this idea was because one morning, she saw her brother practicing martial arts outside the mountain, and before that, Izumi Sakura had also said that Lancelot was practicing hard every night and trying to push his Heavenly Demon Skills to a higher level, as long as he could get closer to Yinzhen and Taitian, he would have a better chance when fighting.

But what Niel saw Lancelot was just sitting quietly, as if practicing martial arts, and as if thinking about something, the whole person was like a stone statue, a wood carving, without any biological breath, completely integrated with the surrounding scenery, even the nearby beasts passed by him, and he didn't notice that there was a delicious food with a lot of meat sitting here.

When he calmed down, he didn't show any traces, but when the meditating person moved, the momentum of the moment was earth-shattering, just a simple action of raising his arms, the clouds in the sky were pulled in a large area, turning into a sea of clouds and waterfalls, rushing to the ground, although the clouds of the demon world were all black and gray, and there was no clean white cloud, but the sea of clouds that flowed down in an instant, like thousands of horses and thousands of troops galloping on the battlefield, the surging momentum instantly submerged the forest in this area.

"Good...... It's amazing, is this the power of the Zhai Heavenly Position?"

When the sea of clouds that once covered the ground was lost, Niel was amazed at the strength of her brother, but Lancelot flashed in front of her in an instant, and her aggressive eyes startled her.

"Hey, little sister, what do you think of that trick just now?"

“...... Ah......h

"Do you feel anything other than being strong?

"Uh, did anyone ask that? This ...... Barely speaking, it's still handsome......"

"Did it make you feel the momentum of a demon god?"

"This ...... This one...... You're bored!"

After being forced to ask a few questions in a row, Niel finally couldn't bear it anymore, and her boiling anger exploded all at once, and before she could move a stone to hit someone, she directly hit Lancelot on the head.

"Wow! this hammer is so heavy......"

"Who told you to have a nervous attack here!"

Trouble, Nier can't help but admit that her brother's martial arts have improved, and unlike herself who has stagnated, every day he comes to the demon world, his heavenly demon skills have improved, if it is not the existence of the enemy is too strong, with his entry speed, in a few years, it will definitely not be a problem to catch up with Yinzhen.

"Alas, it would be nice if you were born decades earlier, brother, or practiced martial arts decades earlier. Yinzhen's advantage is that he entered the fasting heaven hundreds of years before you, if the two of you practice martial arts at the same time, you will definitely be able to beat him flat. ”

"Haha, after you became the princess of the demon clan, you are still the same childish, there were many people whose martial arts were higher than Yinzhen in the past, but now, those people have all been eliminated and disappeared, only Yinzhen is still standing, this is his value!"

Lancelot knows very well that there is no so-called fairness in terms of age, and he also knows very well that Yinzhen's awesomeness is not just as simple as what you see on the table.

If Yinzhen is just a simple big demon king, with the invincible martial arts in the world, rampant and does not take the younger generations in his eyes, then this kind of person who has become self-contained and does not want to make progress is not difficult to surpass! However, after coming to the human world, Yinzhen has been making progress and breakthroughs, Li Yu and Bai Qi joined forces to fight, and he was severely injured and dying, but he also gained comprehension and enhanced his own strength.

If Yinzhen didn't benefit from that battle, he would definitely not be able to retreat in this battle of Jixia. Every time he encounters a danger, after Yinzhen survives, he can convert it into the capital to enhance his own strength, and create a peak of achievement, it is this kind of enemy that makes Lancelot feel difficult to deal with, no matter how he pulls his legs to catch up, the other party's pace has never slowed down.

Because of this, Lancelot had a great difficulty saying that......

"I decided to stay here...... I'm not sure of the time, but I think it would be useful for me to stay here...... It won't be too long, and I'll definitely rush back and fight side by side with all of you. ”

During all this time at Termination Mountain, Lancelot had always felt as if something was attracting him to Termination Mountain. This feeling told me that as long as I waited, as long as I searched, I would be able to gain something in the Termination Mountain, and it was this feeling that made me persist and discover the secret of the Deep Blue Demon King. But after the mystery of the Deep Blue Demon King was solved, this special sixth sense still did not disappear, telling himself that there was still something in the mountain that had not been discovered.

The problem is that the time is too short to search, and the other side needs themselves, their wives, their brothers, they all need to rush back to support themselves, and at this time, they stay for an ethereal premonition, in case something happens, is it worth it?

Especially after learning that Xiaocao had been sealed, Lancelot felt a surge of anger in his heart. He has taken the lead in his life, he has never abandoned his companions and sneaked away, and now he wants to stay in the demon world to search, is he really looking for hope, or is he just greedy for life and afraid of death?

Thinking of the possibility of the latter, Lancelot's heart panicked, he could face thousands of horses and thousands of troops without fear, but he could not tolerate himself to do despicable and cowardly things, if he degenerated into a coward who was afraid of death, it was better to die immediately.

It was because of this vacillation, so he didn't know how much courage it took to speak in front of Niel and Izumi Sakura, originally he thought that his wife and sister would be angry about this, because in terms of reason, they are very qualified to be angry, and he has no room for argument at all, but ...... The reason why family members are family members is presented at this time.

"Okay, please work harder, I hope you can find that secret in the Demon Realm as soon as possible, and we will wait for you under the grass. ”

Izumi Sakura's understatement surprised Lancelot, but seeing Izumi Sakura and Niel's smiling expressions, he suddenly realized that his confusion had already been seen in their eyes.

"It's not us, before you leave, tell us what you might be hesitating about, he said, although the unity is strong, but if you really want to defeat Yinzhen, you still have to rely on the secret left by the Deep Blue Demon King. Hey, brother, even the one who wants money wants us to support you!"

This incident is really out of Lancelot's expectations, and Izumi Sakura is a beautiful end to this matter, if you don't know Lancelot's personality, then you will indeed be angry at his choice this time, but it is precisely because in every battle in the past, he rushed to the forefront to protect his family, so this time when he was confused, Izumi Sakura and Niel never doubted, and immediately knew that what they should do was to give trust, even Hante never doubted Lancelot's motives.

"And...... There are many kinds of martial artists, and there is more than one way to the Taitian position, if Yinzhen is relying on loneliness to achieve today's achievements, I think we may be able to walk out of a different way. ”

Speaking lightly of such encouragement, Izumi Sakura said goodbye to Lancelot, but the words she and Nill left behind when they left lingered in Lancelot's heart.

"In any case, keep one thing in mind...... You are not alone in the Demon Realm, our prayers and wishes are with you. ”

The powerful helper is returning from the demon world, but the overall situation is very unoptimistic for the human camp, even Nier and Izumi Sakura, who are on the way home, can't imagine that Yinzhen's actions are so fast, within a few days of capturing the undead tree, they began to urge the ability of the undead tree.

The earliest effect was already an indescribable scene, breaking through the huge trees growing in the caves of the Kunlun Mountains, as if they were unrestricted, expanding in size arbitrarily, and growing into a towering giant tree in just two days.

The intricate roots of the tree are widely spread and extend to every part of the Kunlun Mountains; the thick trunks of dozens of feet in diameter go straight into the clouds until they reach the heights that are difficult to see with the naked eye; the branches and leaves that grow wildly give birth to a huge umbrella in the sky, covering the earth below, and the dense leaves that emit different colored lights seem to combine with the clouds, looking up from the ground, the vast canopy umbrella is as wide as a hundred miles, and no words can describe its majesty and magnificence.

Even if you look at the ocean from the Continent of Wind, you can clearly see that in the thick gray clouds that linger, there are thousands of golden rays from time to time, and thunder and lightning are intertwined, symbolizing the fury and restlessness of energy, and the towering immortal tree is combined with these energies, exerting its influence far and wide with the fluctuation of atmospheric energy.

“...... This ghost is no longer an immortal tree, but the legendary World Tree. ”

Gengoro, who used the Ancient Demon Dao Machinery to observe the immortal tree from a distance, was stunned by the scene he saw, although he had been mentally prepared for a long time, but when he actually saw it, he still felt that this kind of irrational picture was too incredible.

The direction of the extension of the immortal tree is not only the sky, but also the earth where its deep roots are implanted, through the bottomless cave of Kunlun Mountain, the invisible energy flow, leading to Wulian, the Alembat Mountain leading to the free city, and the White Deer Cave leading to Al Tieno, when the energy of the four major caves resonates, Shangri-La, which is located at the confluence of the energy of the four major caves, suddenly bursts into a strong light.

The dazzling pillar of light, from the depths of the endless underground palace, shot up to the vast sky, and the strong light that people dare not face up, day and night, illuminated the land of Shangri-La, and from that day on, the alternation of day and night lost its meaning to Shangri-La.

Heaven and earth have changed greatly, and the corresponding impact has naturally appeared in the human world, the control effect of the undead tree includes all living things, and the intelligent and lowly birds and beasts bear the brunt, large-scale migration, everywhere you can see a flock of birds flying to cover the sky, wild mice gather to run to the sea, and there are incidents of wild beasts making commotion everywhere, even ordinary civilians can know that unusual changes are taking place on this land.

For thousands of years, the undead tree has been used for the first time, and it can even be said to be the first record after the opening of the world, Rao is Yinzhen's wisdom is extraordinary, and it is impossible to fully grasp the use of the undead tree for a while, so it can only be explored gradually, and these experimental processes have led to biological changes on the Wind Continent, and it can even be said to be an ecological catastrophe.

After those small creatures, followed by the affected group of demonic beasts with low intelligence, although they still have no ability to think, but through the orders of the immortal tree, these beasts that have lost their minds can be driven to act according to orders, and they are no longer useless things that do not obey the call.

Then, Yinzhen's control target turned to the higher intelligent creatures on the Wind Continent, including humans, orcs and other races, starting from Reyns, the people who had severe headache symptoms quickly extended southward, including the Free City Alliance, Wu Lian, every day a large number of people suffered from headaches, their brains were groggy and they couldn't think.

Heaven and earth changes, mourning all over the wilderness, these are the effects of Yinzhen's control of the immortal tree, although the goal has not yet been fully achieved, but those who know the inside story are very clear, with Yinzhen's wisdom, it does not take much time to test the correct method, at that time, he can really grasp the "human heart".

"Legend has it that the Creator opened the world and it took a total of seven days, hum...... Does Yinzhen want to do this kind of trick too?"

Gengoro muttered to himself, looking at the strange sky in the distance, and felt that the scene he had faced had never been so harsh.

"According to calculations, there are about four days left before the undead tree fully exerts its power......"

This is an evaluation report made by Ailing, and the instruments of the Taiyan Institute have repeatedly calculated, and the result is like this, in other words, human beings still have four days at most, and if Yinzhen is not stopped within four days, then there will be no chance to turn the book back.

"Hmph, it's all the creator who is not good, after creating the world, we should take the tools away, and I left that kind of ghost thing for some reason, which caused us so much trouble today. ”

Gengoro was not without complaints, but a few words of grumbling could only be a little distressing, and could not change the facts.

"By the way, Xiao Ailing, is there any new development over there in the Taiyan Institute?"

"Well, there are some. The effectiveness of the undead tree is gradually strengthened, not all at once, which gives us a great opportunity to analyze the special radio waves emitted by the undead tree, and then create a protective shield, which we are confident to create to protect against the influence of the undead tree, and after calculation, this protective shield is absolutely effective. ”

"What? Why didn't you say such a good thing earlier?"

"Because...... It's not good enough. The protective shield has a range of only ten feet, which can only protect a dozen people at most, and not only requires a huge amount of energy, but also has a very special material for construction, which cannot be mass-produced at all, and does not have much significance. ”

"Hmm...... It's better than nothing, at least you can keep it for yourself. ”

Gengoro smiled bitterly and spoke, but Ailing seemed to hesitate, thinking about it for a long time before boldly raising the unscientific question in his heart.

"Mr. Gengoro, everyone said that Mr. Bai Wuji's fall at the beginning stimulated Mr. Bai Qi to sober up and get out of the customs, but recently Mr. Bai Qi and Miss Xiaocao have fallen one after another, why didn't the person under the Ivory White Tower react at all?"

"Well, I can't say that, after all, I don't have similar experience, but...... Bloodline sensing doesn't work every time, or even if he senses it, he can't get up......"

Before the decisive battle between Xiaocao and Yinzhen, Gengoro didn't know that Xiaocao had this trump card, but judging from the traces of the scene afterwards, Gengoro was extremely shocked by the peerless ferocity of the Dafan Purgatory Knife, and he also knew that this kind of martial arts hurt others and hurt himself mercilessly, and the user must pay a heavy price, and it can even be said that it is a sacrificial skill to exchange his life.

Sighing softly, Gengoro patted Ailing on the shoulder as a sign of encouragement, and then left the Taiyan Academy, preparing to meet another important friend.

(It's a pity!!She didn't tell me the truth about this set of martial arts before, if I had known first, the odds would have been ...... Alas, the odds will not improve either. ）

Gengoro's martial arts capital is high, and he has a wide range of experience, and he has studied the battle of the Great Fan Purgatory Knife for the first time five hundred years ago, and then watched Xiaocao's battle this time, and found the mistakes that Xiaocao failed to comprehend.

During the battle, both Yinzhen and Xiaocao noticed the shortcomings of the Dafan Purgatory Knife. With the power of one person, the Five Extremes Heavenly Formation was emitted at the same time, and the lethality was really earth-shattering, but in terms of control, how could one brain control five different dark spells at the same time?

Later, although Xiaocao successfully integrated the power of the Five Extremes Heavenly Style, and also relied on it to severely damage Yinzhen, but compared with the legendary Dafan Purgatory Knife, there is always a little bit of inaccuracy. At that time, Xiaocao had also discovered that the secret of the Dafan Purgatory Knife passed down by the Bai family was summarized and sorted out by Bai Shiqing with no phase formula, not the orally stated by the creator himself, and if there was any mistake between the back and forth, it was not too incredible.

Under normal circumstances, the induction and sorting of the unphased recipe can completely reproduce the true appearance of that set of martial arts, but when encountering this set of peerless murderous knives, it is beyond the comprehension of the martial artists of the earth realm, and it is normal for Bai Shiqing to make mistakes in research, not to mention that the legendary creator Shi Ghost Hiding does not know magic, and it is impossible to use his own magic power to promote the Five Extremes Heavenly Style like Xiaocao.

(The Dafan Purgatory Knife is not used like this, the depth of mana cultivation is not the point, how much resentment there is towards this world.) ）

Gengoro inspected the battlefield on the spot and came to the conclusion that the focus of the Dafan Purgatory Knife was "resonance". With incomparable grief and resentment, it caused a resonance effect, causing the five dark gods to appear together, not by borrowing power and without restrictions, but almost with complete power descending on the five dark gods of the human world, frantically destroying this world and devouring all the vitality they came into contact with.

(It's not to control the Five Extremes Heavenly Style with the power of one person, but to directly dedicate one's life and flesh and blood, let the five dark gods dominate, and let this world-destroying power run rampant, then there is no question of accuracy and control, this is the Great Brahma Purgatory Knife that released the ghost back then, and the source of the power that issued this knife is that hatred...... ）

After comparing the ruins of the two battlefields, Gengoro came to such a conclusion, but even if he said this matter early, he couldn't change the outcome, because the resentment and hatred in his personal heart were not as good as martial arts and magic, and he couldn't collect or practice, even if Xiaocao knew the key to making a move, how could she make her heart full of resentment?

(But it's really puzzling, how did Shi Ghost Zang have such hatred back then?He must hate this world very much if he can resonate with the dark gods with his own resentment, right?) And Bai Wuji, did he really practice his Dafan Purgatory Knife?Or did he go the wrong way like his sister?If so, why could he hate it like this? What did he hate?Alas, it was only Mei Lin who actually witnessed the battle with her own eyes, and these secrets are now buried in the loess with her. ）

A series of mysteries, thinking that Gengoro is one head and two big, although he knows that thinking about these things is useless, the two brothers and sisters of the Bai family have fallen, and there is no third person who can use the Dafan Purgatory Knife, but the curiosity in the brain is to instinctively pursue the facts.
