After listening to Xingyuan's explanation, Ling Yan laughed coldly, "It turns out that you have already prepared for the next move, it seems that I have indeed lost in my arrogance...... However, Nandou Xingjun, it was always me who forced you into a dilemma, because you didn't choose between saving people or killing me after all. ”

"There is no need to choose," Xingyuan said, "because killing you and saving people are originally one thing, and I have nothing to hesitate about......."

Xuanyu's Staff dealt a fatal blow to Ling Yan!

Ling Yan's mask shattered in time, and black blood and poisonous miasma burst from the evil masked man's brain, turning into a floating wrath of resentful spirits.

The wraith roared sharply at Hoshigaku.

Xingyuan frowned slightly, and immediately put away the freshly purified green bead on his left hand, which also contained the souls of Ye Qi and their entire village.

"As I wish, Zhenru Immortal ......" The purple-clothed Immortal Monarch crossed the Xuanyu Staff and recited the incantation to suppress the evil spirits, the soft light shining on the crown of the staff trying to wash away the uneasiness of the vicious soul......

"You don't understand his resentment, he voluntarily gave up the opportunity to be a human before he became Ling. ”

There was a cold voice from behind, ethereal, as if far away.

Hoshigaki turned his head and saw Tu Sha, dressed in white and wearing a black wooden mask. In Tu Sha's hand, he carried the blood-stained cloth robe.

"Gou Chenyi?" Xingyuan hurriedly stopped chanting, "What about Gou Chenyi, how could his clothes be in your hands?!"

Tu Sha's expression was covered by a mask, and his tone did not fluctuate, like a corpse without temperature, "Tell the squire who is lucky to be alive that tomorrow's sea festival will be held as scheduled, remember to prepare the soul sacrifice." With that, he disappeared with Gou Chenyi's bloody clothes.

At the same time, the spirit of Ling died down at the same time, and reverted to a complete golden silk black wood mask, which fell at the foot of Xingyuan.

Hoshigaki put away his staff, thought for a while, and finally stretched out his hand—and just as his trembling fingertips were about to touch the mask, an evil voice finally sounded in his head, "Lord born Star Officer, you have been on the path of depravity since you had the idea of 'killing'. ”

The dim sky, the dark clouds, the bright and sunny day when it came were long gone, and the lively Yilong Town seemed to have become dead and silent in an instant.

The doors on both sides of the street are closed, but from time to time there are terrible screams coming from within—like a living person who has broken his mind to live, like a demon drowning in the mourning of death.

Xingyuan compared this to the vision he had seen when he entered the human realm the day before, although he could not accept it, but Nandou Xingjun had reason to believe that such a dilapidated situation was the most real encounter in this small Yilong Town.

"They refine the soul sacrifice into a resentful poisonous miasma, and then use the spiders turned into poisonous miasma to fake the killed townspeople, so as to steal beams and change pillars, quietly destroy the order of the world, and distort the timeline, the purpose is to create spatial chaos and attract more demons!" Xingyuan traveled all the way, sorting out his thoughts, from the murder of the dragon and the shark girl at the junction of mountains and seas, to the sea festival in Yilong Town, and then to the current human resentment......

"I think I've figured out the crux of what happened. ”

The purple in his eyes suddenly became bright and decisive, "Therefore, I will never let your evil pollute this great beauty in the world!"

"Keep the three green beads in your hand, and beware of any changes in the dragon's soul. ”

The Yaoguang in his heart suddenly heard the voice of Gou Chenyi!

Xingyuan's heart trembled, and he hurriedly stroked the seventh star, "Gou Chenyi, is it you, where are you, are you okay?!"

Yaoguang is a gift from Gou Chenyi, and Gou Chenyi said that as long as he caresses it and silently recites his name, he will appear!

Hoshigaki is in desperate need of a companion right now, or rather...... It's a friend.

However, the second-class star of the Northern Heavens never appeared, and he never said anything again.

"Keep these three green beads ......" Xingyuan took out his staff and looked at the crown of the staff carefully - the souls of the dragon and the mermaid were each turned into two cyan beads and sealed in them, and the souls of Ye Qi and the villagers were also condensed into another green bead, which he placed here.

"Beware of the dragon's soul changing...... Xingyuan took out the blue bead that sealed the dragon's soul alone, thinking carefully about the message that Gou Chen Yi sent to him through Yaoguang, "Could it be that the dragon's soul is also polluted by the miasma of the living soul's resentment?"

The top priority is to return to the Squire's Mansion as soon as possible, the safety of the Squire, the whereabouts of Gou Chenyi, and the threat of slaughter are all problems that Xingyuan must solve now.

Nandou Xingjun didn't dare to delay any longer, sealed his right hand, urged the speed spell, and returned to the squire's mansion with a shake.

The Squire's Mansion has already set up a demon enchantment in the side hall, and the Squire, who has retrieved a life from the masked monster, is being protected by Xingyuan here.

"Lord Squire?" Hoshigaki returned and headed straight for the side hall to check on the weak young man.

The squire curled up in the gap between the couch and the wall in the side hall, and when he heard the voice of Hoshigaki, he dared to poke out half of his face.

Hoshigaki spotted him, breathed a sigh of relief, and walked briskly closer.

"Immortals, don't kill me!" The thin squire's face turned pale, and he only knew how to repeat these two sentences back and forth.

Xingyuan sighed helplessly, then leaned over and patted him on the shoulder twice, "I won't hurt you, don't be afraid." ”

The squire, who was originally frightened, quickly settled down when he heard Xingyuan's whispering, "Prince Xingyuan, are you really an immortal?"

Hoshigaki was about to explain, but remembering that the mortal in front of him had already witnessed his battle with the masked monster, he replied in accordance with his words, "Sort of." ”

"Prince Hoshigaki, since you are an immortal, I beg you to find a way to save my wife...... And our town!" the Squire suddenly grasped his wrist as if he had grasped a life-saving straw.

Hoshigaki calmed his excitement and said, "It was my responsibility to protect the people of the world. It's just that when I fought with that Ling Yan before, I was injured by his resentful Qingzhu, so I didn't have time to save Ye Qi...... Later, I saw that he was going to harm you, but I could only take advantage of the opportunity to escape and secretly replace you and send you back to a safe place in the house. ”

"What about Ling Di?" said the masked freak, and the squire's voice trembled a little.

Xingyuan stretched out his hand to probe the black wood mask in his arms that sealed a powerful resentment, but smiled lightly at the young man in front of him: "Don't worry, Ling Yan will not come to hurt you again." ”

When the squire heard this, he sighed heavily, "It's a pity that most of the people in the town have been robbed of their souls by the Sea Dragon King, and my wife Yuzhu'er ......"

"You mean, Yuzhu'er is really your wife?" Xingyuan said with a slight expression.

"Does Hoshigaki know my wife?" saw his reaction, and the squire asked rhetorically.

Xingyuan thought for a moment before saying, "I met her at the junction of mountains and seas outside your town......

"How is she, is she okay, she suffers for me......"

Seeing that the squire was so nervous about Yuzhu'er's situation, Xingyuan's brows furrowed slightly, "There are some changes at the junction of mountains and seas, and it is precisely in order to thoroughly investigate this matter that I came down from the heavenly realm to this mortal world and came to this Yilong Town with my friends......"

"Your friend, is that Ye Qi?" Speaking of this, Lord Squire's eyes were a little evasive, after all, Ye Qi's tragic death had nothing to do with him.

Xingyuan explained, "My friend's name is Gou Chenyi, and like me, he is a star official in the Heavenly Realm. We were attacked by masked monsters in the mountains and seas, and in order to find out their details, we went to your town to investigate, but it happened to be just in time for the sea festival in your town. When we heard that this sea festival was related to the masked monsters, we participated in the ring match specially prepared for the sea festival. ”

"But how can you be sure that you will be chosen by eternity?" the Squire still did not know.

Hoshigaki said to him, "That's just a concoction by the Slaughter and Soul to deceive people's minds, and we can change the outcome of your choice with just a few small spells." The black miasma that appeared when you screened candidates for the Sea Dragon King in the sacrificial ring was a resentful curse they used to mutilate the people of the world, not some eternal calling. ”

Lord Squire shook his head, "But those are obsessions, not my choices. Both Ling Yan and Tu Sha have told me that I only need to make a show in the ring of the festival, because the true eternal self will choose the one who is most obsessed. ”

"Choose the person who is most obsessed......" Xingyuan then figured out why Ye Qihui, an ordinary townsman, was selected as a warrior to participate in the sea festival before Gou Chenyi, and he was chosen as a wise man, probably because he wanted to thoroughly investigate the obsession of the mask monster and the adult......

It turned out that Gou Chenyi's spell didn't work.

Even Xingguan's mind can be controlled, and Hoshigaki wants to know more and more, who is the evil god behind the masked monster?

After seeing that he was calming down a little, Xingyuan asked, "How did this accident happen, and how did you start a deal with those demons?"

Lord Squire sighed, sat beside the purple-clothed Immortal Monarch with his knees crossed, and told the ins and outs of the whole thing one by one, "If you really want to talk about this calamity, you have to start with the sea festival ceremony seven years ago......
