Chapter Twenty-Nine: The Demon Returns

On the battlefield, where the Chu army and the Seven Nations Alliance fought together, the Chu army was defeated, with corpses all over the field and rivers of blood. The corpses of the black pressure filled the entire battlefield, as if there was no end. The remnants of the Chu army lost their armor and fled in embarrassment, and the Seven-Nation Alliance pursued them all the way.

On a hill not far from the battlefield, a few people were watching the war with cold eyes. They sat on the ground with wine, fruit plates, and dishes in front of them, and watched the battle at the bottom of the mountain as they drank each other.

One of the white-faced men with a black mole on his face looked down the mountain and said, "I haven't even enjoyed watching it after it was done so quickly." Although the strength of these mortals is low, the war of hundreds of thousands of people is quite interesting to watch, what do you think?"

A woman in her twenties who was sitting next to him and looked quite handsome glanced at him disdainfully, and said: "He Jin, you really haven't grown up, what's so good about these mortals, if you want to be interesting, you might as well come and compare with my senior sister, sister, I will definitely let you enjoy watching it, how about it?"

He Jin's face was cold, but he thought of this woman's toughness, if he fought with her, he would definitely be the one who suffered, so he had to smile and say: "Senior Sister Qingruo's spells are strong, and the younger brother is incomparable." The younger brother has not been in the school for a long time, and his cultivation is low, and he will have to bother the senior sister to mention it more in the future, and the younger brother has thanked him in advance. ”

If Lin Su'er was here, she would definitely recognize at a glance that this He Jin was the murderer who killed her parents back then, and it was also the evil demon in her mouth who spread the plague and killed millions of people, and the prosperous land for thousands of miles turned into a ghost domain.

The woman, who was known as Senior Sister Qingruo, sneered disdainfully at He Jin, and ignored him again.

He Jin looked at Qingruo's contemptuous expression, his heart was full of anger, and he said secretly: "Hmph, stinky bitch, it's just a few years earlier than me, what's the big deal, when the master is perfect, I will definitely ask you to kneel under my crotch and call yourself a minister." When the time comes, if you don't fix up your little bitch, you can't survive and die, I'll write it backwards. Thinking in his heart, his eyes secretly aimed at Qingruo's tall and straight chest and slender thighs.

Another man next to him said, "Senior sister, the battle is over, we should go down and collect souls." ”

Qingruo nodded and said, "Okay, collect all the souls in this area, and don't let go of any of the living souls." There are only a few tens of thousands of souls left before my ancestor confesses, and I don't want to waste any more time planning another war. ”

As he spoke, he took out a disc from his sleeve and threw it into the air, only to see bursts of black gas instantly gushing out of the disc, enveloping the battlefield below the mountain.

Seeing that Qingruo had already made a move, several other people also took out the same disc and released black qi and headed down the mountain. After a while, the entire plain under the mountain was completely shrouded in black gas. Gradually, the black gas churned endlessly, and there were bursts of terrible ghost crying, which made people chill to hear. After a quarter of an hour, all the black gas calmed down.

Qing Ruo saw that he had collected all the living souls, and a spell was played, and the disc released bursts of black light, and the black qi under the mountain in the distance converged towards the disc. When the others saw her movements, they also began to collect black gas. In a short time, the black qi on the entire plain was collected, submerged into the disc and disappeared.

With a gesture of her hand, the disc in the sky flew back into her hand, and then said, "Count the number of living souls, and see how much we have gained this time, hoping that with these we can make up millions of living souls." As he spoke, the black light in his hand shone brightly, and he began to close his eyes and count the harvest.

After a while, she opened her eyes and saw that the others had not finished counting, so they were standing by and waiting. After a while, the others opened their eyes one by one. She just spoke, "I collected eighteen thousand, and you each reported the number of souls. ”

"Twelve thousand", "fifteen thousand", "twenty-one", "nine thousand", the voices of reports came one after another.

She wrote down the number, then calculated a little and said, "A total of seventy-five thousand living souls, which is not enough, there are still more than ten thousand short of a million living souls." Without enough of these million souls, we can't go back. ”

When He Jin heard the number, he smiled and said: "It's almost, it's just more than 10,000 short, it's easy to collect." Their war will not be finished for a while and a half, we just need to wait a little while, and when the war resumes, it will be easy to gather 10,000 souls. ”

Qing Ruo also chuckled and said, "This time it is not in vain that we have tried our best to provoke the two sides to go to war again, and we have collected seventy-five thousand souls in just one day, which is really a good way to save time and effort." If we had thought of this sooner, why would we have resorted to the stupid method of spreading the plague like we did last time, and not only did we make a lot of noise, but we were also chased and killed like rats crossing the street along the way. ”

He Jin echoed: "What Senior Sister said is extremely true, fortunately, Senior Sister is extremely smart, and she thought of this excellent idea, otherwise we will have to run all over the world, and collect slowly little by little, which is not only time-consuming and laborious, but also has to be careful to be careful about the Righteous Dao Sect to chase and kill." Now this method will not attract attention at all, after all, the two sides have fought an unknown number of battles in the past 20 years. ”

There are only more than 10,000 left in the number of millions of souls, and the mood of several people has also relaxed, and one of them said with a smile: "This terrible errand is finally almost completed, I have been exhausted to death all these years, and when I return to the sect, I must have a good rest for a year and a half." ”

Another person also said: "Yes, these millions of souls are really not easy to collect, and it takes us a lot of effort to spread the plague and provoke wars, so we can collect almost enough." I don't know what the sect thinks, and actually assigned such a task to a new disciple like us. ”

Qing Ruo listened to their conversation and sneered, "It is precisely because we are new disciples in recent years that we will be assigned such a dangerous task. How could the elders in the sect and other senior brothers and sisters who had advanced cultivation be willing to waste a few years of cultivation time on such a dangerous chore. Besides, do we have the courage to refuse? If we refuse the mission, we will end up with these living beings. ”

He Jin sighed and said: "What Senior Sister said is extremely true, refusing the task is death, failing the mission is death, and encountering the righteous path sect to kill demons and demons is also death." Hehe, if it weren't for our cleverness and good luck, we would have been like these living souls a long time ago, no, it would be even more tragic than the fate of these living souls. ”

Several people couldn't help but shudder when they thought of the possible punishments in the sect if the mission failed. One person hurriedly said: "Anyway, our mission is almost completed, don't think about the consequences of failure." I want to say now, don't you guys plan to collect some souls for yourself? After all, many of the spells we learn need souls to be cast, and many powerful magic weapons also need a lot of souls to refine. ”

What this person said happened to hit the itch of a few people, and a few people, you look at me and I look at you, and there is a light in their eyes. In the past few years, I have been busy completing the tasks of the sect, and I have no time or energy to think about these things, after all, the consequences of failing the mission are too serious. But now that the task is about to be completed, several people have also begun to make their own small calculations.

He Jin said: "Senior sister, it is difficult for us to come out once, and we have finally completed the task of the sect, if we don't get some benefits for ourselves, wouldn't we have been blind for all these years of hard work? ”

Hearing this, Qingruo nodded, and said, "It's okay, when the task is completed, let's spend some time collecting some souls for ourselves." However, you must remember not to be greedy, otherwise once you are targeted by the righteous path, your soul will be scattered. ”

When the other people heard the senior sister's answer, they were overjoyed and said yes again and again. At this time, Qingruo said again: "The living souls here have been collected, we can go back first and wait for the next war to come." ”

A few people came down from the mountain and galloped towards the north.

After walking for a while, I saw a small village in front of me from a distance, and suddenly I saw a white light flash not far away, and it fell in the small village.

Several people also had some knowledge, and they were so frightened that their faces were bloodless for a while, and the two trembled.

"Escape the light, there is a master above the golden pill here! it's over!" He Jin was so frightened that he fell directly to the ground, and said tremblingly.

Several people didn't even have the courage to escape at this time, and those who could escape were at least the masters above the Jindan period, and they had no hope of escaping at all.

There are many mountains and tigers, and at most I have only met some monks with a little mana before, and I have never met such a master, and it seems that my little life has to be explained here.

Several people did not think that they could escape for their lives, and they all stood quietly in place, waiting for death to come.

Time passed little by little, but the imaginary master did not come. After a short time, the white light in the village flashed again and disappeared into the sky.

Several people looked at each other, not knowing what the situation was. One of them patted his chest in horror and said, "It seems that the master has not found out about our collection of living souls. Fortunately, my life was finally saved. Doing this kind of thing is really a reminder every day, and I really want to go back to the sect now and never come out again. ”

Qing Ruo looked at the white light in the distance, and said thoughtfully: "With the strength of this kind of monk, he will definitely be aware of our existence, and maybe he will also find out what we are doing, but I don't know why he let us go." ”

When He Jin heard this, he also felt a little strange, and after thinking about it, he said, "It is possible that this senior is also a person from the Demon Dao, so he doesn't care about our behavior of collecting living souls. It is also possible that this senior only regarded us as passing minor friars and did not take it to heart. It is also possible that this senior has something important, so he let us go. ”

After listening to He Jin's analysis, Qingruo also felt that there was some truth, looked at Bai Mang, who had disappeared in the sky, and said: "Since this senior has left, he will probably not come back, let's go to the place where he just left and take a look." ”

Hearing Qing Ruo say that he wanted to go and have a look, someone hurriedly shook his head and said: "It's not easy to save a small life, we should run quickly, if there are other masters there, wouldn't it be like a sheep in the mouth of a tiger if we go?"

Qingruo smiled: "I am afraid it is not so simple to let a master above the golden pill settle down, it is difficult to say that there are treasures, maybe we can get some benefits if we go." Wealth and danger are sought, we sneak over, just look at it from a distance, if there is danger, it is not too late to escape. ”

Several people looked at each other, and when they saw that the senior sister insisted on going, they had to nod. Anyway, the place where the senior just fell is not far away, and if there is really danger, the current place is not much better. So the group quietly walked towards the village not far ahead.
