Chapter Eighty-Four: In Vain

It was a demon eater with a white pattern on its face.

The white pattern was distinctly evident on its originally black fur, like vines around his left eye, past the bridge of his nose, and finally to his jaw.

His eye sockets were hollow, and there were no pupils in them, but there seemed to be something dormant in the depths of his eye sockets, and faint breathing came from them.

Qin Zhen smiled, not knowing if she was laughing at the truth in front of her or something else.

Although this devouring demon can't see, he can feel that the breath of the people around him is definitely not the familiar human in normal life, not to mention that even if those people don't like it anymore, they will definitely not directly lift its gray robe and look at its face-

After all, whether it is a demon eater or a human, it is the anomaly that is rejected.

Qin Hao slowly let go of his hand and threw away the gray robe in his hand.

She stretched out a hand and didn't look in the direction of Zhou Zhirong, but her spiritual power accurately fixed his figure. Z.br>

"Senior Zhou, what are you doing? Since I've come to the City of the Occult of the Sun, we're a family, so why do we need to see each other like this." Qin Hao smiled, "It's just that I originally wanted to come to meet Sect Master Zhu, but I don't know who this is......

The devouring demon heard Zhou Zhirong's name, and timidly searched for Zhou Zhirong's breath in the room, wanting to listen to his instructions, but at this time, Zhou Zhirong couldn't make any reaction except for glaring at Qin Zhen fiercely.

After waiting for a familiar voice to give a command, the demon eater froze in place at a loss. Can it feel the unfamiliar aura in front of it seem to be angry, is it because it didn't answer her question in time? But...... It hasn't waited for the order yet, and it can't just speak.

Qin Hao watched the devouring demon bow its head timidly, so she stretched out her right hand and gently held up its chin, so that its eye sockets could meet her gaze.

Her sleeves slid down with her movements, revealing her wrist wrapped around the black snake jade bracelet. Sensing the breath of his liking, the black snake awoke from its slumber and slammed the snake letter towards the demon devourer's hollow eye sockets.

Qin Hao's voice was extremely soft: "Tell me, what's your name, okay?"

The Demon Devourer swallowed timidly, afraid of the cold taste on Qin Hao's body and the threat that could not be seen in front of his eyes, and finally whispered, "I, my human name is Cui Yu......

After saying that, it immediately closed its mouth, as if it had said something that could not be said, afraid that it would be punished.

"What a good name." Qin Hao withdrew her hand without any emotion.

She kind of understood, she had been being played by that "Cui Yu" from beginning to end.

The other side knew her and knew her suspicions, but he appeared in front of her in the most suspicious way.

If he had met her for normal reasons, then perhaps she would have remained suspicious of him and would not take his words to heart. But now, when he appeared so weirdly, she would still think about how much of his subversive words were true and how much was false.

She was not deceived by "Cui Yu", she was deceived by her own mindset.

"What are you lackeys of the Six Realms Alliance going to do besides torturing us?"

Zhou Zhirong saw that the true face of the "City Lord" had been revealed, and he couldn't resist, the expression on his face was extremely distorted, and finally he couldn't hold back the anger in his heart anymore, and roared angrily at Qin Zhen.

"We just want to live a normal life...... Like other mortals, if you can live normally in your own town, why do you want to find us......

Qin Zhen ignored Zhou Zhirong, but continued to ask the devouring demon, "What is your relationship with Zhu Chengzong?"

The Sect Master of the Sun Occultation Sect must have really existed, and it is impossible for this Demon Devourer to replace it all the time. Because she was willing to believe Zheng Yunmin and Zheng Yunwan in the no-man's land, and she was willing to believe that what they said at that time was true.

Qingxing does exist, then the sect master Zhu Chengzong must also exist, and there is also a disciple named "Cui Yu".

It's just that in this secret realm that wants to reproduce the city of the sun back then, the identities of these characters

It may be changed, but the existence of the character itself will not change.

She wants to find all the truth from this fictional secret realm.

"Zhu, Zhu Chengzong?" Demon Devourer looked at Qin Zhen in confusion, "I haven't heard of this name."

Zhou Zhirong saw Qin Zhen's question, and sneered, "What are you pretending? It's obviously your Six Dao Alliance's hands and feet, why are you pretending to be confused now? Have the really bad guys done enough to become hypocrites?"

"How can you tell I'm from the Six Realms Alliance?" Qin Zhen followed his words and confessed, making a puzzled look.

"Heh, it's not for you that our Mirror Flower City has become like this." Zhou Zhirong's eyes were full of hatred, "We are living well as mortals, but we have to send an immortal cultivator to replace our city lord, and we have to change the name of the town to 'Occult Sun Sect'...... Say so many disgusting things, and force us to listen to your commands, and if we don't do it, we will be taken away by the executioners."

"Originally, our Mirror Flower City was still in the mortal world, but because of your persecution, we had to move to this place far away from other mortal towns. Especially after the catastrophe fifty years ago, only monks could come. Tell me, apart from the monks of the Six Paths Alliance, who else can know about this place?"

"But no matter how powerful you are, you won't end up in our hands." Zhou Zhirong laughed, his voice carrying the pleasure of revenge, "Zhu Chengzong definitely didn't expect that we mortals could cooperate with the Demon Devourer. That guy relied on himself to be an immortal cultivator, so he didn't take us seriously, snatched all our money, and built the palace for himself. It's a pity that his retribution was given to his daughter and not reciprocated to himself...... But that's okay, he can't do anything now."

What he's saying now should be true.

Qin Zhen frowned slightly.

Today's immortal cultivation realm has completely obeyed the instructions of the Six Paths Alliance.

And although in terms of division, the sect where she is located also belongs to the Six Dao Alliance, which is mainly under the jurisdiction of the Xingzhou Branch. But in fact, except for Xiang Rong, she had not dealt with any of the management personnel of the Six Dao Alliance.

Even if there was a conflict with Xiang Rong, it was only from the perspective of personal vendetta and had nothing to do with the Six Dao Alliance itself.

In other words, she didn't actually have any actual understanding of this behemoth who was now in charge of the Immortal Cultivation Realm.

To say that in the past, Qin Zhen also fantasized about going to the headquarters of the Zhongzhou Six Dao Alliance, reporting the matter on Xingzhou's side, and exposing Shen Qifeng and Xiang Rong to maliciously oppress other sects. But now that she is growing up, she has long given up this naïve fantasy.

The Six Dao Alliance has always been shrouded in a layer of fog in her eyes, and everything she has experienced now is inseparable from the Six Dao Alliance, which makes Qin Hao have a feeling that she can't be down-to-earth and twisted unnaturally.

"So you swapped Zhu Chengzong with your city lord and let him stay in the body of that demon devourer, and in order to retaliate against him, he also gouged out his eyes and let it use the body of the demon devourer, and the demon devourer he looked down on before used his own body to suppress him." Qin Hao said lightly.

"You, you...... How do you know? Last time, you weren't there!" Zhou Zhirong looked at Qin Hao in disbelief, not understanding that she knew these things.

"It's just that how did you and the Demon Eater swap bodies?" Qin Hao muttered, "And you also kill demons...... Let me guess? Those demon devourers are actually those who took refuge in Zhu Chengzong and the demon devourers in the past, right? Those of you who rebelled against Zhu Chengzong turned into human beings, and then turned them into demon devourers, made up the lie of sacrifice, and killed them in front of the immortal cultivators who came."

"But you dare to do this, maybe you think that if Zhu Chengzong is gone, there will be no immortal cultivators who can threaten you anymore. It's just a pity that Cui Yu came over with a new executioner. So you want to repeat your old tricks, and give this demon eater the name of "Cui Yu", and want to humiliate him in this way? provoke him to do irrational things in anger?"

If that's the case, then she has to reconsider what to do when she sees Cui Yu again.

"......" was told the truth so easily, and Zhou Zhirong's face was pale

The bottom turned gray.

Qin Hao raised his hand to lift his restraint, and Zhou Zhirong fell to the ground stiffly, losing his former brilliance between his eyebrows.

"Whether you want to believe it or not, I have to tell you......" Qin Hao walked over and looked down at Zhou Zhirong from top to bottom, "If this is how you deal with Cui Yu, then unfortunately, you have completely failed in the future."

"What did you say?" Zhou Zhirong finally reacted to Qin Hao's words, and his eyes stared straight at Qin Hao.

"If you can say the phrase 'last time,' then you should know that this is just a false illusion. And I came here from the future Occultation City, which at that time was completely controlled by Cui Yu, and you were killed."

Qin Zhen's tone was very sincere, not like a fake.

Zhou Zhirong froze in place, and only smiled bitterly for a while: "That's right, it's all at this time, what value do I have for you to make up lies to deceive me."

Qin Zhen didn't say anything.

"Since you've been to the future city of the Occultation...... Then, what about my wife and children when I die?" Zhou Zhirong's voice was a little hoarse, with a little imperceptible expectation in his eyes.

「…… It's a pity."

"No...... It's fine." Zhou Zhirong said this, but his body lost strength and collapsed to the ground, staring at the ceiling blankly.

"Since you can hide from everyone and replace Zhu Chengzong for so long, then you should have the ability to observe the people around you well." Qin Zhen thought about it, but still reminded.

She wasn't sure when Zheng Yunwan fell to Cui Yu, and she didn't want to do more.

Just looking at Zhou Zhirong's current appearance, thinking of Qian Jinzhu and Zhou Mu who he saw in the no-man's land, he still couldn't help but say more.

Future death has definitely happened, even if she reminds Zhou Zhirong here, it will only make him feel better in the illusion. If reality is destined to be unchangeable, then hope that he can get what he wants in the illusion.

After all, after he was killed in the name of atonement, his beloved wife and children went crazy and wanted to drag everyone to die together. It's just that they don't know until they die, and the one among them who really colludes with Cui Yu and the executioner is Zheng Yunwan, who gets along with them the most on weekdays.

"You mean to say that there are traitors among us?" Zhou Zhirong was stunned for a moment, and then said categorically, "Impossible, everyone here hates immortal cultivators to the core, and it is impossible for anyone to betray us and join Cui Yu."

"And where did the demon eaters you kill come from?" Qin Zhen smiled, "Didn't they have such a result just because they took refuge in Zhu Chengzong?"

"......" Zhou Zhirong was speechless.

He knew that what Qin Hao said was right, but he was unwilling to show his cowardice in front of the immortal cultivators, so he finally gritted his teeth and said, "This is different. The people who are still there are all partners who have resisted Zhu Chengzong together, and they all know the harm of Cui Yu, and it is impossible for the betrayal like before to happen."

Anyway, what should be reminded has also been reminded, as for what Zhou Zhirong is going to do, Qin Zhen will not interfere anymore.

After all, this is just a false illusion and does not change any of the established facts. Even if Zhou Zhirong here found out that Zheng Yunwan was a traitor, killed her, and finally succeeded in protecting their Mirror Flower City from Cui Yu.

After all, all this is just a fantasy.

In reality, whether it is him, his wife and children, they have been buried under the endless yellow sand.
