Chapter 422
"Go, and reflect on your mistakes forever underground." The Holy Emperor said something in his mouth, and the black smoke shrank smaller and smaller, and finally turned into a black light, which disappeared into the ground.
The Taoist priest let out a long breath, and his face turned bloody. "Thank you for the Holy Emperor's help, otherwise the consequences would be unimaginable."
The Holy Emperor smiled slightly, and the staff in his hand turned into a point of light and disappeared. "We have more important things to discuss, please come with me."
After saying that, he took the Taoist priest and drifted away, and soon disappeared into the forest......
The Taoist priest followed the Tianyuan Holy Emperor to a secret room, where many enchantments were laid and the light was dim.
The Holy Emperor sat down at a stone table with an oil lamp in hand, and said to the Taoist priest with a smile, "Please sit down, let's talk about the past."
Hearing this, the Taoist priest frowned slightly, and sat down opposite: "What you did, it seems that I was sure that the purple shadow would appear here before me. Can you explain why? 「
The Holy Emperor nodded, "To tell you the truth, I already found out that the demon had escaped the seal and was secretly acting. So after learning that you knew him, I came to help in case of accidents. 「
"I see. The Taoist priest nodded knowingly, "But you and I are both cultivators, so why should we get involved in this dispute? We should escape from the world. 「
"You're right. The Holy Emperor sighed, "However, some of our ancient friends are so worrisome that we can only act in secret to defuse the crisis. But to act secretly, it is necessary to be careful and in a dilemma. 「
After hearing this, the Taoist priest pondered for a moment, "It seems that things are far more complicated than I know. We should be cautious and communicate more to defuse this crisis. 「
The Holy Emperor nodded, and the two seemed to have reached some kind of consensus. Candles danced in the stone chamber, reflecting their solemn faces. They know that an even bigger storm is coming......
In the secret room, the middle-aged Confucian pushed the glasses on the bridge of his nose and said to the Tianyuan Holy Emperor in a deep voice, "I'm afraid that the information that Purple Shadow knows is extremely important, and we must try to get it out of his mouth. Maybe he can let Master Jin Yue torture him, he has a lot of attainments in this way. 「
After hearing this, the Holy Emperor pondered slightly, nodded and said, "What you said is reasonable. We must indeed try to obtain the Purple Shadow's mastery of Xiaoliu. However, the matter of torture still needs to be cautious, and it is not possible to startle the snake. I would ask Master Jin Yue to question Purple Shadow, but not too obviously, so as not to arouse his vigilance. 「
Confucius pushed his glasses: "I understand. In addition, in order to prevent leaks, we also need to send some henchmen to infiltrate the various ethnic groups, which will inevitably take some risks. 「
The Holy Emperor sighed, "You're right. We must act in the dark and be careful, or the consequences will be dire. I have a few reliable disciples here, and it should be feasible to send them to various tribes in batches. I hope they can return safely. 「
The two of them glanced at each other, and they both saw the look of worry in each other's eyes. They knew that it was extremely difficult to act secretly in the tense and antagonistic situation of the major clans, and they could expose their identities at any time and invite death.
In another corner, a pious old monk had a worried face, his brow furrowed. The old monk expressed concern about those who were sent to various ethnic groups because they might be in danger. He looked at the Holy Emperor with a worried gaze.
"Those who carry out these tasks will undoubtedly face many trials and dangers. The old monk's voice was low and full of worry. "They need our support and protection."
The Holy Emperor understood the old monk's concern, and he nodded in agreement. "You're right. We must assess the situation and act according to our means. First, send a group of stable qualifications and determined children to carry out the task, and then send additional personnel after they are familiar with the environment. 「
He added, "We will do our best to ensure their safety. However, this task should not be underestimated, as it is related to the fate of the artifact. 「
The old monk continued, "However, we must try to obtain information about the Purple Shadow. Maybe after those children enter the alien realm, they can really bring out the Xuantian Slashing Spirit Sword, then we will have the advantage. 「
The Holy Emperor pondered for a moment, "You have a point. We should secretly investigate the whereabouts of the artifact and try to get ahead of the curve. It's just that the use of young children is really risky, and we must judge the situation and grasp the measure. 「
The old monk nodded, "I understand. We carefully consider every decision
。 In terms of force, we are inferior to all races, and we can only win by outwitting. We hope that these young people who are still grinding can return safely and live up to our expectations. 「
The two looked at each other, and both saw worry and worry in each other's eyes. In the days that followed, they were destined to be cautious and take every step of the way.
The old monk and the Holy Emperor were discussing the plan to send the young disciples, but they didn't know that a strange light gradually flashed in the old monk's eyes.
"Your so-called plan is nothing but self-deception in the end." The old monk suddenly spoke, and his voice was a little colder.
The Holy Emperor and Confucian were both slightly stunned, and looked at the old monk for some reason.
"Hahahaha!" The old monk laughed wildly a few times, and his body gradually distorted, turning back into the appearance of a purple shadow: "It's hard for me to be just possessed, how can you ants trap me!"
"How is that possible! Aren't you sealed! The Holy Emperor's face changed drastically, and he hurriedly drew his staff to prepare.
"Cut, I've already set up a back hand, it's just a clone." Purple Shadow sneered, "It seems that you don't know enough about me. Today I will annihilate you completely! 「
After saying that, he suddenly swelled in size, turning into a huge demon and pounced on the two. The Holy Emperor and Confucian tried their best to resist, but they also fell into a bitter battle.
"Hahaha, let me see how long you can hold on!" Purple Shadow couldn't stop laughing, not taking the two of them in her eyes at all.
At this moment, several golden rays of light appeared in mid-air, and several masters appeared in the air, holding magic weapons and striking at the purple shadow.
"Heaven is awe-inspiring, we follow the law of evil!" Everyone chanted in unison, and one spell after another blasted towards the purple shadow. The purple shadow was unable to dodge and was forced to retreat.
The Holy Emperor and Confucian took the opportunity to fight with everyone and tried their best to imprison the purple shadow again. Everyone pulled out several packs of yellow rattan in a row, wrapping the purple shadow layer by layer.
With the help of several masters, the Tian Yuan Holy Emperor and the middle-aged Confucian finally imprisoned the arrogant and domineering Purple Shadow again.
I saw that everyone wrapped the purple shadow layer by layer, and a pale yellow smoke rose from the sky, and the purple shadow was forced to show its original form, turning into a black demon with blood-red eyes.
"Don't be complacent, you ants, sooner or later I'll fight my way out of the encirclement and slaughter you all!" The Purple Shadow roared, but was completely trapped in the circle and couldn't move.
"Thank you for your help, so that you can re-control this demon." The Holy Emperor smiled slightly and greeted the masters with a fist.
The high-ranking people also returned the salute with their fists to the Holy Emperor. The first person spoke, "We have come this time, and we have already laid a five-element seal around us, this time to see if he can escape!"
The Holy Emperor nodded, holding his staff, chanting the spell with everyone, and one after another golden light shot towards the purple shadow, imprisoning it in a magic circle enchantment.
"Go, and repentance in hell forever!" The Holy Emperor said something in his mouth, and the purple shadow let out a terrible wail, and the figure gradually dissipated, and finally turned into a cloud of black smoke and sank into the ground.
The Holy Emperor and all the masters breathed a sigh of relief, and their faces were full of relief.
After dealing with the purple shadow, the Tian Yuan Holy Emperor pondered for a moment, and then whispered to the old monk, "This time the incident happened suddenly, we should learn a lesson. In the future, we may have to go further into the wild world, and we will face more challenges. 「
The old monk nodded, "Indeed, the wild world is full of unknowns, and we must be vigilant.
The Holy Emperor continued, "Lin Mo, who accompanied me this time, I found out that he was actually using the flying sword left behind by the legendary Qingyangzi. Unexpectedly, the Excalibur would appear in his hand. 「
The old monk was a little surprised when he heard this: "Qingyangzi's flying sword? It was the only half-step artifact in the world. It was amazing that Lin Mo could control it. 「
The Holy Emperor nodded, "Not only that, but the moment he drew his sword, I felt the aura emanating from his body become extremely cold and gloomy, making me shudder. Perhaps we should pay more attention to this young man, who may have many secrets hidden in him. 「
The old monk pondered for a long time, and finally nodded.
When Lin Mo on the side listened to them discuss himself, a trace of surprise swelled up in his heart.
Unexpectedly, the Holy Emperor could see the origin of the flying sword at a glance, and it seemed that the secret he had been carefully hiding might have been seen through by them.
No
Guo Lin Mo didn't show anything, just stood quietly to the side, silent.
For the name Qingyangzi, he was indeed a little surprised. The owner of the flying sword seems to have experienced something unknown just like himself.
But Lin Mo didn't intend to dwell on their discussion too much, and continuing to remain silent was the best option for now.
He understands the prudence of the Holy Emperor and the shrewdness of the old monk, and these past secrets are finally revealed by themselves slowly It is the best policy.
Lin Mo secretly considered many possibilities in his heart, but he couldn't see any emotion on his face. He just stood quietly, not saying a word.
After listening to the discussion between the Holy Emperor and the old monk, Lin Mo stood silently for a while, and finally did not join their conversation.
He exhaled softly, turned slowly, ignored the two of them, and sat down alone in the corner of the cabin.
Lin Mo didn't want to talk too much about his past, let alone mention the flying sword with a mysterious origin.
He needed to meditate, clear his mind, and figure out where to go.
Rather than being led by the nose by others, it is more important to think for yourself. Lin Mo closed his eyes and began to sort out all the information in his mind.
The past is gone, and the present is the most important. What I need to do is to improve my strength in order to meet the challenges of the future.
Lin Mo decided not to pay attention to the others, and focusing on meditation was the best policy for now.
Seeing that Lin Mo left alone and stopped talking, the old monk and the Holy Emperor did not force them to stay, and each retreated to the side to meditate and cultivate.
Seeing this, Xiaohong didn't pay attention to the others, and quietly returned to his cabin, as if thinking about something.
Ye Ying leaned against the side of the wall, closed her eyes gently, and looked calm.
The white-eyed young man looked around at no one, and took out an ancient book from his arms to read.
Lin Mo sat in the corner, closing his eyes and resting.
The tranquility of the spirit boat returned, and only the breeze could be heard blowing, and there were bursts of rustling sounds.
Everyone is immersed in their own world, or cultivating, or thinking, or resting, and when they arrive at their destination, they will start a new chapter.
Lin Mo was sitting on the spirit boat meditating, and suddenly, he frowned slightly and opened his eyes. "What's wrong?" Long Dong asked with concern. Lin Mo said in a deep voice, "I sensed a powerful qi machine appearing not far away, you should also be vigilant."
Everyone was shocked, and immediately released their divine sense to explore the surroundings. At this moment, a thunderclap swept through the sky, and a huge figure appeared from the clouds, which turned out to be a huge thunder turtle! "This is the Ancient Beast Thunder Tortoise!" Xiao Hong exclaimed, "Although it is not a true spirit, it is also very powerful!"
The tortoise was pitch black, covered with dark clouds, and its eyes radiated blue lightning. It was suspended in mid-air, looking coldly at the people on the Spirit Boat, as if judging their strength.
"Don't panic, everyone." Lin Mo said calmly, "Although the Thunder Turtle is strong, it is not our opponent. Let's move on, don't be impulsive and provoke it." With that, he drove the spirit boat to continue to speed forward.
The spirit boat accelerated for a while, and Lin Mo and the others breathed a sigh of relief, as if they had left the range of activity of the thunder turtle. At this moment, an earth-shattering thunder suddenly sounded behind him!
Everyone looked back and saw that the thunder turtle had actually chased after it, and the electric light flashed in its mouth, as if it was about to send out a thunderous blow!
"Quick! Accelerate with all your might!" Lin Mo shouted. Without hesitation, Long Dong drove the speed of the spirit boat to the limit, and quickly fled with a light and shadow in the air.
The turtle roared in rage, spreading its wings and speeding in pursuit. Lin Mo's face was solemn, the strength of this thunder turtle was far beyond imagination, even if he flew at full speed, he couldn't shake it off.
"Everyone think of a way, we must get rid of it!" Lin Mo said. Everyone looked at each other, this thunder turtle was menacing, and it was really not that simple to get rid of it.
Just as the Thunder Turtle was about to catch up, Ye Ying plucked the pipa and played a string of rapid notes. There seemed to be some kind of mysterious power in the note, and the speed of the tortoise slowed down significantly.
"Good opportunity! Quick!" Lin Mo drove the spirit boat forward again. Everyone joined forces to use various means, and finally got rid of the pursuit of the turtle for a while in the thunder, but they also understood that this was only temporary.
Everyone had just escaped the pursuit of the Thunder Turtle and had not yet taken a breath, when lightning suddenly exploded in the sky above them, and blue lightning illuminated the surroundings. "It's a thunderstorm caused by a tortoise!" Xiaohong exclaimed. Listen to the rumbling thunder, thunder and lightning converge in the clouds, and the blue electric light illuminates the whole sky as bright as day.
"It's too dangerous, this thunderstorm is so powerful, we must get out of here!" Lin Mo shouted.
Long Dong hurriedly drove the spirit boat, but the thunderstorm was too large, and it was about to envelop it.
"Let me try!" Ye Ying plucked the pipa and played a rapid and high-pitched musical note. The power contained in the sound waves forms a circle of spatial ripples, blocking out the incoming thunderstorms.
"Good opportunity! Full speed ahead!" Under the protection of Ye Ying's sound waves, Lin Mo and Longdong teamed up to drive the spirit boat and flew away into the distance.
At this moment, a shocking thunderbolt struck overhead, and Ye Ying's sonic protective cover collapsed instantly. "Oh no!" Long Dong shouted, and the spirit boat accelerated suddenly, and finally flew out of the range of the thunderstorm.
