There is really no good thing planned behind the scenes, Xin Youtao guessed correctly, but he would rather be very wrong.

Mu Xingqiu summoned all the demon invasion Taoist priests, and Xin Youtao personally went to invite Yang Qingyin to retrieve Xiao Qingtao, Xiao Artemisia and Bald.

In the tent where the spell was enlarged, Meng Xu distributed the elixir he had just made, making a good start, and then Gan Zhiwei announced that he felt faint signs of life in the seven deceased, and they were likely to wake up.

Everyone was very happy, since entering the land of the demons, it was rare for two good things to happen one after another, and then all eyes turned to Mu Xingqiu, looking at him expectantly, hoping to get a complete guarantee of safety from him.

Yang Qingyin and Xiao Qingtao stood in the last row, both of them were not very tall, and they were tightly blocked by others, Xin Youtao stood beside Mu Xingqiu, he had almost vomited, and he was finally able to look at the bad news calmly, but his face was still pale, and he did not get better after taking the elixir.

"Zuo Liuying has news. Mu Xingqiu said, there was no emotion in his voice, he thought, there is no euphemism for such a thing, and a long pain is better than a short pain, so without waiting for someone to ask, he continued: "Dao Tong will withdraw from this world, and all of us have to hand over our Inner Dan." ”

There was silence in the tent, and Mu Xingqiu said two things, but everyone didn't understand any of them, especially the latter sentence - hand over his own Neidan.

Neidan is another life of a Taoist priest, and handing it over is no different from committing suicide, so why should he flee into the land of demons with suspicion if he knew this?

Xin Youtao felt sick again, he and Xiao Qingtao didn't commit any mistakes or crimes, and if he handed over Neidan, he would become as fragile as an ordinary mortal, although he had never been a powerful Taoist, but he could no longer accept the life of a mortal.

"I don't understand. Meng Xu's joy at the success of refining medicine was swept away, "How could Dao Tong withdraw from this world? Even if they can do it, why do we have to hand over the Inner Dan?"

"Here's the thing. There was still no emotion in Mu Xingqiu's voice, as if he was just a person who simply delivered the news. I won't be affected in any way," not long ago, the Daoists of the Divine Mind got in touch with the Wangshan Patriarch. ”

With a hum, the Taoist priests couldn't keep quiet anymore, the closure of Wangshan and the disappearance of the ancestor were one of the most bizarre and important events in the Daoist system over the years, and the impact was greater than the fall of the old ancestor peak, but I didn't expect to find it.

Everyone quickly quieted down and waited for Mu Xingqiu to continue.

"This happened three months ago, and the patriarch, the disciples of Wangshan, and the high Taoist priests of the various mountains who were detained at that time did not show up, so the Taoist priests did not announce the news. The patriarch revealed an important thing. He said that the Demon Suppression Bell was dying, and at most it could last less than thirty years, and this was not the worst news, the ancestor said that the Demon Seed had found a group of new allies, not the Demon Race, but a race called Bing Kui. ”

The Taoist priests had more or less heard the rumors of Bingkui, and knew that this was a new race that had emerged in the north a few years ago, and had been silently advancing towards the south, and was still far away from the human world. The people slaughtered along the way were all demon clans, so they did not receive special attention from the Dao system.

"What the hell is Bingkui, are even the Shinto priests afraid of them?" asked Gan Zhiquan.

Mu Xingqiu shook his head, "I don't know very well, according to the patriarch." Ice Kui is very strong, and even if the Dao Commander can defeat them, he will suffer heavy losses, and this is the purpose of the Demon Seed. The patriarch saw through this. So he found a reliable hiding place, intending to avoid Ice Kui's sharpness there. ”

"Fang Xunmo is the thirty-seventh generation patriarch of the Dao system!" Meng Xu shook his head, expressing full disbelief in Mu Xingqiu's words. "He just hid like this, ignoring the other eight Dao Sects?"

"The patriarch is not so ruthless. The corners of Mu Xingqiu's mouth curled slightly, and he couldn't help but show a hint of sarcasm, "Over the years, he has been perfecting the hiding place, and it was not until he was invulnerable that he sent an invitation to the Divine Daoists. ”

"Dao Tong can defeat the demon seed by hiding?" Gan Zhiwei clenched his fists and asked angrily, "What can the hiding provide Dao root disciples? Daoist priests are not demon seeds, when everyone is dead, the Dao system will be gone, without human beings, the Dao system is a source of water." ”

"The ancestor may have a way to solve this problem, it is said that he has a bigger plan, Zuo Liuying doesn't know, and I have no way of knowing. In short, after receiving the invitation of the patriarch, the Taoist priests were shocked and did not give an answer immediately. Zuo Liuying withdrew from the Taoist system at this time, because he understood that the Daoists would definitely follow the ancestor in the end, and he was unwilling to do so, so it was better to express his position early, at the cost of which was that all his memories of this matter were erased. ”

Zuo Liuying later regained his memory, and Mu Xingqiu skipped this paragraph, because it had nothing to do with anyone else.

Zuo Liuying paid attention to the Shinto Daoists, so he guessed correctly, not only did they agree to follow the patriarch, but they also wanted to bring the entire Dao system into hiding.

"Wait. Gan Zhiquan took a step forward, "Dao Tong wants to hide the whole thing, although I can't understand it, but the patriarch always has his reason, what I don't understand is, why does Dao Tong have to hunt down and kill us people, and also install the crime of turning demons and demons?"

Mu Xingqiu had the same doubts when he heard this, but he quickly figured it out, and Xin Youtao's paraphrase also proved that his guess was not too outrageous.

"There are two reasons for this. First, if the Dao Sect wants to take all the disciples away, he has to give them an acceptable reason to let them see the power of the demon clan with their own eyes. Therefore, although the Dao Tong pursued and killed us, he never used all his strength, and only one Daoist priest could solve the matter, so he had to make a big move. Xuanwu Youxiao was sent by the Dao system, it was supposed to kill all of us, and after devouring enough souls, it would become a giant demon with a power similar to that of the demon race, and then attack the Demon Slayer Society, and then be killed by a high Taoist priest. ”

This plan failed, and Yu Xiao is now a pet in Artemisia's hands.

"I performed the method of re-destruction in Ice City, and this incident was recorded by the Flowing Fire Golden Bell and forwarded to the Grandmaster of Asan to apply for the treasure, and the Divine Daoists made a new plan from there. ”

The new plan was to force Mu Xingqiu to "turn into a demon", and this plan was basically successful, Mu Xingqiu not only performed the Demon Venerable Righteous Law, but also resurrected a golem, and the power revealed shook all the low-level Taoists.

Of course, this is still a few steps away from all Taoist priests willingly withdrawing from this world, but it is a good foundation for the Daoist to start instilling in his disciples the power and insidiousness of the demons, and then turn the retreat into a tactic.

The purpose of retreating is to come back - this is not what Zuo Liuying said, but what Mu Xingqiu guessed.

The only surprise in the whole plan was that Zuoliu Ying regained his memory.

Zuo Liuying claimed that he would announce the retreat plan of the Dao Tong on the spot, in this case, it would be very difficult for the Dao Tong to persuade the low-level Dao priests, and it would be very important for the entire Dao Tong to disappear. So the Shinto priest ordered a retreat, keeping the low-ranking Daoists away from Zuo Liuying's spell casting range, and then they continued to negotiate. ”

"The result of the negotiation is for us to hand over Neidan?" Gan Zhiwei looked at his companions, knowing that everyone had the same idea as him, and would rather die than give up Neidan. After the Gan brothers underwent the method of re-destruction, their bodies changed, but the inner dan did not change, and they continued to rotate in the lower dantian.

"This is the second and most important reason why Dao Tong is chasing and killing us. Mu Xingqiu took out half of the copper ring, everyone recognized that this was the half-ring of the master's inheritance, every Taoist disciple had it, half of it was in his own hands, and the other half was in the hands of the first seat or the grandmaster, there was no more use, but when the disciple died, the first seat and the grandmaster could know in time.

"Zuo Liuying said that all the living Taoist priests' inner dan has a connection with the Dao system, and the Shicheng Banhuan is the expression of this connection, and those with strong mana, such as the demon clan, can find out the hiding place of the Dao system without a half-ring and only Guò Neidan, so the Dao system must be hidden as a whole, and those who are exposed must be killed, and as soon as the person dies, the connection with the Inner Dan will be broken. ”

The tent was quiet again, the relationship between Nedan and the Dao Tong was so close, this was something that no one had ever heard of, and there was never a single word in the vast books of the Dao Tong, of course, the highest level among them was the Smoke Swallowing Daoist, and there was no way to contact the forbidden books of the Dao Tong.

"And then?" A voice sounded from behind the crowd, the Taoist priests got out of the way, and they all looked back at Yang Qingyin, she didn't care, just stared at Mu Xingqiu alone, "Let's hand over the Inner Dan, and wait with our bare hands for the demons and Bingkui to join forces to kill?" And Zuo Liuying, does he also have to hand over the Inner Dan? Why didn't he come out to speak?"

Zuo Liuying said that now is not the time for him to show up. He also made a plan for all Taoist priests who refused to hide, including him, to start practicing Neidan again, and the Taoist system was willing to provide a necessary thing and magic weapon. ”

Everyone looked at each other, and re-cultivated Neidan? That is not an easy thing, it will take decades to reach the current realm, according to the ancestor Fang Xunmo, at that time, the demon race would have already descended into the world.

"The newly condensed Inner Dan has no connection with the Dao system?" Yang Qingyin asked.

Zuo Liuying said he had a way to cut off the connection, but he needed everyone's consent. ”

"This can't be another conspiracy designed by the Dao system, right?" Gan Zhiwei couldn't believe the Taoist priest anymore.

"Conspiracy?" Xin Youtao's voice trembled a little, because he was full of grief and indignation, thinking not only about himself, but also about his sister, Xijieguo, and the Holy Rune Dynasty, "The biggest conspiracy of the Dao Tong is not here at all, don't you still understand? Dao Tong wants us to hand over Neidan, but he also gives us cultivation things and magic weapons, from now on we are Dao Tong! We will become the target of the Demon Race and the Ice Kui, and if possible, we will lead all the human beings and the Demon Race to consume the power of the Demon Race." ”

Xin Youtao paused and glanced at Xiao Qingtao beside Yang Qingyin, "Why was Zuo Liuying able to persuade the Divine Daoist to retire?" because the plan he proposed was more beneficial to the Dao system. Either hand over Neidan or be killed, we have no other way to go, there is only one question now, are we willing to act as a shield for the Dao system?
