The imperial capital was restored to its original state, it should be said that it became more and more magnificent and magnificent, the pavilions were higher, the walls were thicker, the streets were cleaner, the trees were more lush, even the wind became softer, neither hot nor cold, there were people everywhere, all with satisfied looks, strangers smiled and nodded to each other, acquaintances chatted cordially with each other, and it took a long time to walk on a short road, but no one was in a hurry.

There is almost no shadow of the talisman in the city, most of the original talismans have been sucked dry by the pillar of light, and now the entire imperial capital is supported by a stronger, more extensive and more hidden spell, looking from afar, mortals can see a tranquil glimmer of light, like the lights in the night, the greenery in the desert, but the monk sees an exciting and colorful light, like a flame that attracts insects.

Shen Hao's mana was weaker and he couldn't use the teleportation technique frequently, so it took him a day and a night to return to the imperial capital with Xin Youtao and Xiao Qingtao, and he didn't make any stops along the way, so he didn't know much about what was going on here.

Before, in order to protect itself, the imperial capital set up a talisman hundreds of miles away, and it was forbidden to fly within a hundred miles from the city, but now these measures and bans have been canceled, and the sky is full of talisman masters and monks flying around, wind and dust, it seems that they are all coming from thousands of miles, and people from farther away are still on the way.

The cultivators all had a pilgrimage-like solemn look on their faces, humbling each other in the air, but rarely talking, as if they were all tacitly acknowledging, and as soon as they opened their mouths, they would reveal the heavens.

"Come with us to the palace. "Entering the sky above the imperial capital, Xin Youtao sent out an invitation, he was actually a little reluctant in his heart, he and Shen Hao used to be rivals, and they used to be very good friends, but now one is a Taoist priest, and the other is a mortal great talisman master, it can't be said that they are parting ways. The distance between each other is indeed getting farther and farther away.

Shen Hao shook his head, pointed to a nine-story tower floating above the northeast corner of the city, and said, "The Dao Tong is there, I'm going to ...... Look. ”

Xin Youtao just felt that the tower was very special, but he couldn't detect the existence of the Dao system, so he nodded, and was about to say goodbye, when Xiao Qingtao suddenly spoke: "Shen Hao, do you believe in Mu Xingqiu?"

Shen Hao was speechless for a while, they didn't talk about this issue along the way, it was very simple. But it is a big problem to determine the fundamental position, and the question now is ...... Should we believe in ourselves or not? ”

Shen Hao flew away.

Xin Youtao looked at his back blankly, and whispered, "Does the Taoist priest have to talk like this? What does he mean?"

"If Kun Zhen is really as powerful as the Demon Soul said, then every decision we make may be influenced by him. Xiao Qingtao explained.

"Alas, if you stay in the Dao system, you will definitely become a Shenzhu Taoist priest earlier than Shen Hao. Xin Youtao said half admiring and half flattering.

Xiao Qingtao smiled slightly, this used to be her biggest dream, and since she decided to quit the Dao system, the dream has become a distant memory. Suddenly, she kind of understood why Kun Chao had to create a new demon race: the dream will never die, but it will only turn to ashes, once it has the corresponding strength. It will rekindle and burn even harder.

Xiao Qingtao's heart trembled, and she hurriedly removed this thought, "Don't worry too much. Any spell requires mana, and Kun Chao doesn't cast illusions indefinitely, voila. He rebuilt the imperial capital to comfort the mortals, and cast light to attract monks, which means that he is weakening the influence of illusion, and our decision is still our own for the time being. ”

The two flew towards the palace, and there were people on the ground who recognized them and waved enthusiastically, but they were not as ecstatic as usual, and the children no longer ran along, the sky was full of flyers, and the chief talisman master and Pei Shuai were not particularly prominent.

When he was about to reach the sky above the palace, Xin Youtao said, "Let's make an agreement." ”

"Huh?"

"From now on, whatever you and I have in our hearts, whatever we think, we will tell each other and judge each other's ...... It has been affected and changed. ”

"Okay, you come first. Xiao Qingtao said with a smile, thinking that this would be the idea that Xin Youtao came up with.

"To tell you the truth, I feel that this Taoist priest has stolen our limelight, and I feel a little nostalgic for the feeling of admiration from everyone in the past. ”

"Haha...... Well, you're not affected. ”

After all, the palace is a palace, and there is a circle of guards around it, prohibiting irrelevant people from flying in and out, most of them are monks who have not lost much mana in the previous battle, they respectfully saluted Pei Shuai and the Great Fu Master, and let the two of them in without notification.

"This is really a scene of peace in the world, and the emperor is so lax that it seems that there will never be a war. Xin Youtao whispered that after entering the palace, the two still walked down to show respect.

Crowds of eunuchs and guards quickly caught up, and although the two of them wanted to see Empress Xun immediately, they were still invited to see Emperor Ci first.

Emperor Ci summoned the two of them in the inner study, and they looked radiant, completely different from the gloomy appearance of doubtful before.

"The Empress and I were worried about your safety, but you came back, and as soon as I received the news, I said, 'No need to invite them, they will definitely come to the palace first.' The last time Emperor Ci was so kind and easy-going, it was before and after the Battle of Wangshan, and then he was gradually affected by the demon seed, and his temperament became suspicious, "Nightmare, this is really a nightmare, I slept for more than ten years, and finally woke up." Who would have thought that the demon seed would hide in the shadows and manipulate the world? Alas, even I couldn't resist it, but fortunately, there is Queen Xun and two important ministers of the country who are still sober......"

Emperor Ci said a lot, there were repentance, imagination, and advice, and he was as enthusiastic as a teenage hairy boy, the room was full of open books, and on the table were piles of musicals, it seemed that Emperor Ci really wanted to make up for the more than ten years in the "nightmare".

Xin Youtao and Xiao Qingtao listened to each other, this Emperor Ci was like two people in the past ten years, but he was quite similar to him earlier, so it was really difficult to say whether he was affected by Kun Zhen or not.

Xin Youtao finally couldn't help but interrupt Emperor Ci, "Your Majesty, what are you interested in what has happened in the past few days...... Clear, we just came back ......."

"Of course it's clear. Emperor Ci stood up, walked around the wide table, and said as he walked: "The entire Holy Rune Dynasty is almost about to perish, and at the most critical moment, the Dao system returns, and the thirty-eighth generation patriarch personally takes action to sweep away the demons, and the Uchi is peaceful." It's a pity that there are still a little demon seeds that escaped, but it can't become a big climate. Within fifteen years, the demon race will be extinct forever. As for the demon clan, another big war is about to begin, after the battle of Wangshan, the Holy Fu Dynasty has given the demon clan more than ten years of recuperation, and it is time to solve it once and for all. ”

"What about Mu Xingqiu, does His Majesty know that he has appeared?"

Emperor Ci's face was slightly gloomy, "It's really sad, the seekers once made such a great contribution to the Holy Rune Dynasty, but at the last moment, they couldn't resist the invasion of the demon seed. We all saw that the pale blue woman was a witch. The rattan in the child's hand is the spear of the demon seed. But this can't be blamed entirely on Mu Xingqiu, except for the ancestor himself, no one dares to boast that he can block the demon seed. It can only be said that the world is impermanent, and I hope he still has a chance to get rid of the demon seed and return to the Taoist system. ”

This is the image of Mu Xingqiu in the world: a tragic hero, after making so many contributions to the Holy Fu Dynasty, but when victory was about to come, he fell into the demon path and fled with the last bit of demon seed.

Emperor Ci didn't mention the demon soul, and the two didn't ask.

Seeing the disappointed expressions of the two, Emperor Ci said, "I know that you and Mu Xingqiu are good friends. There is no need to be too sorry, the contemporary patriarch's mana is boundless, and he may be able to save Mu Xingqiu from the demonic path. ”

"This new patriarch...... What does His Majesty know?" Xiao Qingtao asked, always feeling that there was some fundamental change in this nagging Emperor Ci.

"The new patriarch is a thief. It is the second generation disciple of the Taoist system, in order to completely eliminate the demon seed, under the arrangement of the first three ancestors, he endured for more than 100,000 years, and was born in one day. The Demon Seed is gone...... I don't know much about these things, you can go to the friends in the Taoist system, the Taoist priests are back. The Holy Rune Dynasty is about to usher in an unprecedented era of prosperity. ”

Emperor Ci said a lot more, to the effect that he encouraged Xin Youtao and Xiao Qingtao to work hard to rebuild the Longbin Society and the Monks' Order.

Finally said goodbye and left the inner study, Xin Youtao let out a sigh of relief, withdrew the eunuch who saw him off, and whispered: "Mu Xingqiu has become a big villain, but Emperor Ci didn't suspect us at all, and he didn't ask what happened during our being taken away. ”

"Listen to what Queen Smoke has to say. Xiao Qingtao's heart was panicked, because neither she nor Xin Youtao defended Mu Xingqiu, and in the face of raging rumors and powerful spells, simple words were meaningless.

Queen Xun left Zeng Fu by her side and sat lazily on the soft couch, as if she had known that they would come back safely, and she was not worried at all.

"I thought you wouldn't be back for a while. Queen Smoke said.

As soon as this sentence came out, Xin Youtao and Xiao Qingtao knew that Queen Xun still believed in Mu Xingqiu.

Xin Youtao couldn't wait to repeat what Mr. Qin said, "Now I'm completely confused, most of the words of the demon soul are speculation, Mu Xingqiu and Zuo Liuying believe him, but ......" Xin Youtao pointed out the window, "The way the emperor is now, it can really be explained in any way, must the new ancestor have malicious intentions?" ”

Xin Youtao turned to Xiao Qingtao, "This is really my heart, I have not been affected by any spells, I have this thought before I have arrived in the imperial capital, as soon as I see the imperial capital, I am thinking: before there is no clear indication, how can it be proved that a person wants to exterminate all living beings in the world? Is it because he has this ability?"

Xiao Qingtao shook her head, unable to answer Xin Youtao's question.

"Have you seen Emperor Ci?" asked Empress Xun suddenly.

The two nodded.

"Do you think he is such a gullible person?" Queen Xun continued to ask, without waiting for the two to answer herself, "I don't know what the ambition of the new patriarch is, I only know one thing, the one that human beings enjoy now has a price, and we are going to have an unprecedented war with the demon clan, and the casualties must be extremely heavy, but everyone doesn't seem to care about it." Also, the Tower of Taoism stands tall above the Imperial Capital, and I don't like it at all. ”

"Unless Mu Xingqiu and Zuo Liuying can come up with a way, let's ...... Nothing can be done. Xin Youtao was a little frustrated, he could still fight with the demon seed, but he was helpless in the face of Kun Chao.

Empress Xun smiled and didn't say anything, but turned to Xiao Qingtao, "A group of demon clans have been arrested in the imperial capital, some of them you may know, and they will be executed in public at noon tomorrow." ”

"Pei Zihan and Jintuan!" Xiao Qingtao thought of these two first.

"Well, there is also a different Shijun, who is said to be the head of the demon clan, and he is also among the executions. ”
