Chapter 426: Everyone Treats It as a Big Enemy
Tushan Yuhua remained calm and said confidently: "Daoyou, you are wrong. We are going to stabilize the barrier and help the seniors recover their vitality."
He suddenly lowered his voice and said, "Besides, fellow Taoist, don't you want to ask Yinglong for an explanation?"
Kui Niu suddenly stomped his hoof heavily in the air, causing the clouds to scatter. "Bullshit! Am I the kind of ox that takes advantage of others' misfortunes?!"
The cow's eyes involuntarily glanced towards the Ailao Mountains.
Huo Qinghuang suddenly spoke in an extremely domineering tone: "Ailao Mountain is just around the corner. Even if you regret it, it's too late."
"You! You, you liars! You are going too far!"
After all, Kuiniu is an ancient monster that has lived for countless years. It has a sharp mind and realized immediately that it has been tricked.
It turns out these guys treat it as a great enemy!
Kui Niu was so angry that lightning flashed all over his body. He stomped his hoof in the air three times, causing all the clouds within a hundred miles to collapse. "Great! You guys teamed up to plot against me!"
Tushan Yuhua saw that the situation was not good, and hurriedly smiled and said: "Daoyou, calm down, we are doing this for the people of the world..."
"Bullshit, you stinky fart!"
Two bolts of lightning spurted out of Kui Niu's nostrils: "Today, the old ox must..."
"Um?"
Huo Qinghuang's eyes shone, her clothes fluttered without the wind, and she asked in a cold tone: "What do you want to do?"
The next moment, the invisible imperial power appeared and rushed straight towards Kuiniu.
Kuiniu only felt an invisible powerful pressure coming towards it, like a towering mountain pressing down on it, causing its whole body to stiffen, and the originally surging lightning even weakened a little.
It was horrified and stood stiff, not daring to move.
Only then did it remember that it was the person in front of it who had suppressed it on the spot with a ray of imperial power and then sealed it again.
At that time, there was still a barrier between them, but it was enough to shatter its mind and spirit. Now, the two are facing each other directly. If they really burst out with all their strength, I am afraid I will not be able to resist.
By then, not only will you not be able to get back your revenge, you might even end up in an irretrievable situation.
"You... who exactly are you?"
Kuiniu opened his eyes wide and looked at Huo Qinghuang in shock, his voice trembling unconsciously.
Before, it only thought that Huo Qinghuang had some extremely powerful treasure in his hands, but after several attempts, it overturned this idea.
It didn't even see Huo Qinghuang activate any rare treasures. This imperial power was clearly emanating from her own body!
Huo Qinghuang raised his head slightly, his expression stern. He did not directly answer Kuiniu's question, but said indifferently:
"The world is about to change drastically. Before that, if you gain more merit, it can protect you and maybe even restore some of your vitality. Don't let a momentary anger ruin important things."
Although her voice was not loud, it seemed to carry an unquestionable power, echoing in Kuiniu's ears.
Kuiniu hesitated in his heart, swung his tail quickly, and a hint of hesitation appeared in his eyes.
Tushan Yuhua saw this and quickly chimed in, "Senior Kuiniu, what Fellow Daoist Huo said is absolutely right. This Ailao Mountain is full of dangers. Without your powerful help, even if we enter, it will be difficult for us to achieve anything.
Moreover, if you can help us stabilize the barrier, those ancient elders will be grateful to you after they recover their vitality. By then, won’t your prestige in this world be further elevated?"
As he spoke, he stole glances at Kuiniu's expression, trying to judge from its face whether he had convinced it.
These words directly praised Kuiniu to a certain height, making it overjoyed and even more hesitant.
Ao Jiu crossed his arms and snorted coldly: "Kuiniu, if you are afraid, it's not too late to leave now, so as not to hesitate here and waste our time."
He deliberately used provocation, knowing very well that the ancient monster like Kuiniu was very concerned about its reputation, and provoking it in this way might make it change its mind.
Kui Niu was torn between his own conscience and his own desires. On the one hand, he was being plotted against by everyone, and on the other hand, he was filled with rage.
On the other hand, he was afraid of Huo Qinghuang's terrifying imperial power, and still had a glimmer of hope for the merits that Huo Qinghuang mentioned.
It has been sealed for countless years, and it seems that there is plenty of spiritual energy within the barrier, and no one disturbs it.
Well, it’s not that no one bothered it, it’s just that the guy was as timid as a mouse. Apart from harassing it from time to time, he didn’t dare to show up in front of outsiders.
In fact, due to the limitations of the rules within the barrier, it has not fully recovered over the years.
If it is true as Huo Qinghuang said, that there is merit to be gained from sealing Ailao Mountain, then it is not impossible to take action.
The Kuiniu swung its tail, a trace of struggle flashed in its eyes, and finally, it snorted heavily and said in a timid tone:
"Humph! You're awesome! I'll trust you this time. But if I find out you dare to play tricks again, don't blame me for turning my back on you!"
Huo Qinghuang nodded slightly, put away his imperial majesty, and returned to normal: "That's good, there is no time to lose, let's enter Ailao Mountain as soon as possible."
After saying that, he flew towards Ailao Mountain first.
Ao Jiu and Tushan Yuhua looked at each other and followed closely.
Kuiniu followed behind the three people, walking on one hoof in the air, and every step it took caused the clouds to surge.
Its eyes rolled around, and it suddenly spoke in a muffled voice: "Little girl, you have the blood of the Xuanyuan clan..."
Huo Qinghuang didn't even turn her head: "Shut up."
As a descendant of Yan and Huang, doesn't this body have Ji Xuanyuan's bloodline?
But getting her to acknowledge her human bloodline was almost impossible.
Just two simple words, but they made Kuiniu's whole body tremble with lightning.
It was unwilling to give in and tried again: "The Yellow Emperor Xuanyuan killed my elders back then."
"That was your elder volunteering his skin."
Huo Qinghuang suddenly stopped and turned around, with golden light flashing in her phoenix eyes: "If not for this, do you think you can survive until now?"
These words were like a bolt of thunder striking Kuiniu's head.
It opened its mouth, as if it suddenly remembered something, and the lightning on its body dimmed a little.
A hint of surprise flashed in Ao Jiu's eyes, and he looked at Huo Qinghuang thoughtfully.
He had also heard about the Yellow Emperor's killing of Kuiniu in the East China Sea, but the Dragon Emperor at that time did not allow them to interfere in the human war, so he did not know much.
Now it seems that there seems to be another hidden story?
But this matter had nothing to do with him. He just looked at Huo Qinghuang curiously for a few more times and then looked away.
…
When Huo Qinghuang and others stepped into the territory of Ailao Mountain, a strong and decayed smell instantly hit them in the face, like an invisible wall, making it difficult for people to breathe.
It was already dark, and the surrounding space seemed to be bound by an invisible shackle, exuding a faint atmosphere of mystery and danger.
The sky was covered with a thick haze, and the sunlight could not penetrate, making the mountains and forests dim, as if entering a dark world isolated from the outside world.
"This place is a bit weird."
Kuiniu wrinkled his nose and spoke in a muffled voice, his huge eyes scanning the surroundings vigilantly, not missing any corner.
