Chapter 27: The Crisis

In the Shangqing Palace, Wan Qing sat on the throne, on the right hand side were the elders of Qingcheng and Wan Ting and others, and on the left hand side sat the spectators of various factions, at this moment they were all looking at Yuan Qi in the center, although he did not speak, but an extremely depressed aura had permeated.

"Tell me, how did you fall into the devil?" Cang Song asked loudly with sharp eyes.

In the center of the main hall, Yuan Qi stood very hard, his physical strength was already overdrawn, and his face looked very weak in the face of this interrogation.

"The night before yesterday, the disciple found traces of the Demon Sect by the Houshan Lake, so he went to investigate, at that time I heard a sacrificial sound, and then the disciple's head was hit hard, and the next thing, I don't know anything!"

Wan Ting was surprised, she was there that night, but she didn't realize it, Fu Bo's matter, the lesson from the past, the horror in this, people who have not experienced it, will not understand.

"Heavy hit?" asked Cangsong rhetorically, "What's that?"

"The disciple didn't know what it was, but he felt that it looked like a seed! It was black and could emit bloody light!" Yuan Qi's face was pale, but he still patiently explained, "The disciple still felt something burrowing into his brain in a coma!"

"Then, as you said, it is the sacrificial sound and the seed that make you fall into the devil?" Wan Qing sat high and asked lightly.

"Exactly!" Yuan nodded.

"The voice naturally can't be traced, but the seed you said, I think it can be ...... like this" Wan Qing's gaze suddenly sharpened, and he slapped a palm in the air, pressing it towards the Heavenly Spirit of Extinction.

Yuan Qi was caught off guard, and without even making a sound, he fell to the ground.

"Yuan Qi!" Wan Ting and Mo Li were shocked, and each shouted and wanted to rush forward, but they were stopped by the people around them.

"Master Wan, why is that?" asked Master Puguang.

Wan Qing didn't answer, his right hand was raised slightly, and Yuan Qi was placed in the void, and a spiritual light enveloped his body, making his body transparent, and all joints were revealed. At the same time, Wan Qing took out the magic seal and hit Yuan Qi's whole body, but after a long time, he didn't get anything, he sighed softly, waved his hand, and motioned for someone to carry Yuan Qi down.

Wan Qian took the initiative to step forward and picked Yuan Qi on his back, and Mo Li also followed with red eyes.

"Ting'er!" Wan Ting looked at Wan Ting coldly, obviously realizing something, and said, "Go back to the Palace of Rejection and prepare for tomorrow's game! Tonight, you are not allowed to take half a step out of the Palace of Absolute Love!"

"Yes, the disciple knows!" Wan Ting nodded, she knew that the master's anger had not subsided, although her heart was blocked, she still didn't dare to disobey the master, and could only watch Yuan Qi leave.

"But what have you discovered?" asked Master Puguang.

"I just thoroughly examined this child's body, it's normal, and it doesn't have that mysterious aura!" Wan Qing said.

"How is this possible? On the stage just now, we all saw it!" Cang Song said.

Wan Qing's palm was gently propped up, and an ancient mirror manifested in the palm of his hand, and he said faintly: "In the duel just now, I sensed the breath of the Soul Devouring Ding! Although it is faint, it is very real and should not be underestimated!"

Cang Song was shocked, "Isn't that an artifact that has been accepted and worshiped in the Western Regions Demon Land, and no one has resonated with it so far!"

"You're right, when I went to the Wild Land, I passed by the Western Regions, and I accidentally sensed the breath of this ding!" Wan Qing gently stroked the Phantom Moon Mirror, "The artifacts are already mutually restrictive, and the Phantom Moon Mirror and the Soul Devouring Ding are like this, so they are very sensitive to this kind of aura! If I hadn't appeased it just now, maybe it would have rushed out on its own." ”

"Among the ten major artifacts, only the Soul Devouring Ding is the most mysterious, it has been hidden in the oldest palace in the Western Regions, no one knows what kind of power it carries, it seems that this time the Demon Sect is prepared!" Master Puguang's face was very solemn.

"That's good!" Wan Qing nodded, "The Soul Devouring Ding's appearance must be related to the Demon Sect, this resurgence has been hidden and in the shadows, you can talk about it, there is a good way to reverse this situation!"

There was silence all around, Wan Qing sighed, and he subconsciously glanced at the empty seat on the right, because externally, the position holding the sword was the most vocal. Tuke left so suddenly that he was really unaccustomed to it.

"I'll wait for everything to be up to Master Wan. A man in the viewing seat said, and everyone immediately gathered around.

"What is Master Wan's opinion?" Master Puguang pondered for a long time and asked slowly.

Wan Qing stood up and motioned for everyone to be quiet: "Know yourself and know your opponent, you will not be defeated in a hundred battles!" Since everything is because of the Soul Devouring Ding, it is necessary to start with the person who holds the Ding, and do not hide it from everyone, my disciples have come to report a few days ago, and found traces of a large number of demon disciples in Chiba City, after the conference is over, I will send my disciples to go, and I will also ask people from all walks of life to help from all walks of life!"

"Don't worry, but if you have a trust, we will definitely die!" everyone said.

"Well, if it's late today, let's all disperse! Tomorrow the Immortal Sword Conference continues!" Wan Qing said.

When everyone dispersed, Master Puguang came: "Amitabha! Master Wan, there is something in the temple that I need to go back to deal with, I may have to leave first!"

"Master is polite, since it is a matter in the temple, then please take care of yourself!But don't forget the appointment between you and me!" Wan Qing nodded and said.

"That's nature!" Puguang shouted back.

Fa Xiang stepped out from behind him and responded, "Master!"

"As the teacher, you have to go back to the temple first, so you can stay in Qingcheng Mountain and go to Chiba City with Wan Qian and the others!" Puguang commanded.

"Yes, disciple obeys!" said the Fa Xiang.

Wan Qing glanced at the Fa Xiang and found that his face was calm, his demeanor was calm, and the Buddha's light was revealed above his head, and he had a lot of luck, and couldn't help but praise: "Not bad, not bad!"

"Master Wan is polite, so you have to bother, I will take care of him for a few words, and leave first!" Master Puguang said.

"Master, please!" Wan Qing spoke, watching Puguang leave with his disciple Fa Xiang.

"Senior brother, what should that Yuan Qi do!" Cang Song from the rear walked over.

"What to do?" Wan Qing asked rhetorically.

"Yuan Qi made a big fuss about the Immortal Sword Conference, this matter can't be forgotten!" Cang Song said

Wan Qing glared at Cang Song, "He can't help himself in this matter, how can he blame him?" In this way, you put him in the Law Enforcement Hall first, observe him closely, let me think about it carefully, he is Tuke's apprentice, don't be hasty!" Wan Qing said.

"Yes!" Cang Song looked a little speechless and stopped.

"What else do you want to say!" Wan Qing asked.

"Senior brother, you should know that those who have been demonic since ancient times, even if they turn back, will still have demonic nature in their hearts, and it is difficult to eradicate them, if they are calm and quiet, if they fall into darkness one day, they will become a trouble, just like that .....person back then."

"Shut up!" Wan Qing seemed to be stimulated by something, and scolded coldly, "Cangsong, the more you talk about it, the more you go too far, how can you intervene in the things of the past! I am a decent family, if this is the case, what is the difference between it and the evil demon outer way, I have my own measure in Yuan Qi's matter, you just need to act according to my orders!"

"Obey!" Cang Song hurriedly nodded yes under Wan Qing's coercion.

"Stand down!" Wan Qing said.

Cang Song got up and retired.

In the Shangqing Palace, only Wan Qing was left, his face was solemn, he slowly stretched out his right hand, there seemed to be a blood color between his fingers, he raised his head, looked at the darkness outside the window, as if recalling some things in the past, and whispered to himself, "Is it really you!"

The darkness of the sky is still continuing, in the west of the Qingcheng Mountains, hundreds of miles, there is a gloomy and cold valley, several people in black are carrying a pink petite, hurrying by! Suddenly, the sedan curtain trembled, and a white hand stretched out from it, and at the wrist, the colorful orbs flickered from time to time, bringing out a strange light. The figure in the curtain swayed, raised his head slightly, looked at the sky, and covered the sedan curtain again.

"Hurry up!" This is a woman, her soft voice gives people a comfortable feeling, but several people in black are in a cold sweat, and their steps are obviously much faster, and it can be seen that they are afraid of this woman.

A stone tablet stands on the side of the road in front, and two big characters are engraved on the stone tablet, Mingshan. As the name suggests, the mountain gives people an eerie and terrifying feeling, and the black-clothed men did not stop for a moment, bringing up a gust of gloomy wind, skimming the stone monument and setting off bursts of sand and stones.

Inside the mountain, there is a huge palace, the high plaque hangs on it, carved with the three big characters of the Hall of Immortality, perhaps because of disrepair, the plaque is covered with dust, and a lot of cobwebs have been formed. At this moment, there are countless people in black carrying large bags and small bags and stepping into this palace.

Above the main hall, a figure was like a ghost, gently caressing the throne in the middle, it was the mysterious door master. And below, Ning Tu knelt there, his head down, and he didn't dare to gasp.

"Okay, get up! I shouldn't blame you for this, I didn't think it through!" The master of the door was very calm, and said, "If you make a mistake, you must correct it, and it is the same for the teacher, and you must remember not to let it go in the future, after all, it is not your own person, understand!"

"Yes! Disciple understands!" Ning Tu broke out in a cold sweat, and hurriedly nodded when he heard this, "What Master taught!"

"Go pack up and go!" the master of the door ordered, "When you arrive at Chiba Castle, give me a good observation of the poisoning!

"Yes, the disciple will not fail in his mission!" Although Ning Tu had many questions, he didn't dare to speak at all.

Watching Ning Tu leave, the door master's gaze gradually turned cold, and he said to the darkness beside him, "Have you notified the Tianchi Blood Demon!"

"Hehe!" In the darkness, there were two ghostly lights, which were a person's eyes, full of weirdness, and at the same time, his voice was like a ghost, and he said hoarsely: "Please rest assured, the door master, he has already set off." ”

"Very good!" the door master nodded, and then there was a rare hesitation on his face, and he said, "Don't tell the deputy door master about this matter first." ”

"Quack! The subordinates understand that the deputy master is kind-hearted! I can't bear to make a move! I will do it for you!" A dark laugh came out, full of sarcasm.

"Ghost eyes!" the door master frowned, and asked again, "You can be sure of this plan!"

"Rest assured, this time, my subordinates are 100% sure of breaking the barrier!" replied.

The door master nodded, and at this time, a black-clothed man outside the hall came to report: "Door master, the heart hall has arrived!"

"Xin'er, let her in quickly!" the doorman waved, as if he had expected it.

"Ning Xin, she has also come to the Central Plains?" the ghost eyes were startled, and the ghost fire in the darkness seemed to jump again, "Hasn't she been monitoring the poison god in the temple!"

"The poison god has left the Western Regions, and what remains in the temple is just a fake body!" The door master spoke, his eyes revealing a murderous aura, and he said fiercely: "This old guy disagreed with me back then, and this cooperation is just a faΓ§ade, so you must guard against it!"

The door master opened his mouth while looking south, from here, dozens of miles away, is the palace where the poison god lived in the Central Plains, the poison god temple.

"Disciple Ningxin, see Master!" This is a graceful figure, dressed in black to set off its seductive figure, a beautiful face faintly reflected under the black veil, and a sweet and soft voice can give people a comfortable feeling, it is the woman in the pink sedan chair.

For the first time, the door master's face showed a wave of praise, and he looked at Ning Xin with a look that looked like he was looking at his masterpiece, and said, "Xin'er, I already know about the temple, do you have anything else to add?"

Ning Xin didn't answer, but looked at the ghost on the side, seemed to be disgusted, and said indifferently: "Why are you here!"

"Xin'er, don't be unreasonable!" The master of the door scolded, "Mr. Ghost has come all the way to help my Holy Sect, and I should be courteous!"

"One farewell for three days, impressive, the prestige of the hall lord shocked the entire Western Regions, if there is anything wrong with the past, please bear with me!" In the dark, the ghost eyes didn't care about Ning Xin's disgust, and let out a strange laugh.

"Hmph~~ One hand, it's really nice to say, it's not for those ethereal legends!"

"That's enough!" the door master scolded again, "Xin'er should talk about the temple!"

Ning Xin glared at the ghost coldly, and responded: "Back to Master, the disciple was ordered to monitor the poison god's every move around the temple, and he has always been safe, but last month, someone disappeared in the hall, and the people were panicked, and the disciple's repeated investigations were fruitless." So I visited the poison god seniors under the pretense of investigating the case, and found that what was sitting in the hall was just a human skin. ”

"A human skin!" the door master nodded, as if he understood something, and said, "It seems that this old guy's skills have improved again!"

"What kind of exercise is this, unheard of!" Onimu asked.

"The poison scripture practiced by the poison god was given by the emperor of Tianming back then, I nested with him, and I have heard a little, in the initial stage of this exercise, every day must be practiced with a hundred poisons, with the improvement of skills, it will also produce a metamorphosis, and each layer of skin that falls off requires a large amount of human blood as a sustenance, so that it can be more perfect. The door master glanced at Ning Xin and said, "Those who disappeared must have been sucked dry of their essence and died!"

"Old thing!" Ning Xin sneered, "Master doesn't have to worry that he will ruin your plan, the disciple carefully examined the blood stains on that person's skin, they were all recently stained, and no one has been missing since then, so I boldly guess that the old guy must be at the critical moment of sharp change, and he has no time to care about anything else." ”

The door master nodded: "Well done!"

"I heard that the disciple of the poison god was tortured, and he was also in the Central Plains, and I have heard that the poison god loves this disciple for a long time, find an opportunity, I will test the poison punishment, and everything will be clear!" Ning Xin said.

"Well, this is a good plan, but it should be done in moderation, after all, we are still a cooperative relationship, and he is indispensable in the final stage. The master of the gate advised, "We will have a big move in Chiba City in the near future, and I have sent Ning Tu to go just now." ”

"Master, you can't be on guard over there in Qingcheng, I heard that in addition to Wan Qian, there is also a Yuan Qi there, and there are a lot of bad things!" Ning Xin said, "Please allow me and my senior brother to go together to help senior brother atone for his sins and sword these two people!"

"Very good!" The door master nodded in agreement, "Chiba City has you, I can feel a lot more at ease, go and clean up and have a round with your senior brother!"

"That disciple retires!" Ning Xin glanced at the ghost again, and slowly retreated and left.

"She's just a hall master, why be so polite to her!" the ghost's voice came again.

The door master looked up at the top of the main hall and said deeply: "She is not just the hall master!"
