"Is this a god..." Yan Zhong breathed a sigh of relief, leaning against the wall and slowly sitting on the ground. His back was soaked with sweat. "How did the Marquis and his men fight against that kind of existence?"
"Brother Qiye is still very strong. He can fight against the Wood God Ju Mang on equal terms. When will it take me to have that kind of strength?" Zhan Yuwu couldn't help but sigh.
"Don't dream. You can't reach that realm just by spending time."
Gong Yangwan spoke softly.
Hu Jia looked around. After closing the door, there was no light in the hall and it was completely dark.
"We seem to be entering a Dharma Hall?" Hu Jia asked in confusion, "Why is there no light at all?"
"some."
Galan raised his hand and gently touched a certain spot on the wall. A flash of light appeared, and then rays of light lit up one after another in the hall, dispelling the darkness in front of everyone's eyes.
The interior space of this hall is much larger than it appears from the outside. Densely packed books are floating in the air, like a suspended ocean. You can touch them just by stretching your hand slightly.
"The Pure Yang Weapon Forging Technique..."
Hu Jia looked at the scroll closest to his head and muttered the characters written on it.
"These are the secret methods collected in the Dharma Hall. The Queen Mother is good at forging weapons, so most of them are related to forging weapons. There are also other methods, but mortals basically cannot use them." Galan explained.
"The book I have here is 'Xuanyou Zhaohun'... It seems to be about slave ghosts? The place of origin is... Fengdu? Where is Fengdu?" Zhan Yuwu blinked.
“It’s a ghost town.”
Yan Zhong explained as he moved through these secret techniques. He was already very interested in books, let alone the books collected by gods.
His eyes swept through these secret techniques one by one, and suddenly stopped on a certain secret technique, with his brows slightly raised:
"The Soul Hiding Technique?"
He took the secret method out of curiosity and started to read it. The surprise and joy on his face gradually turned into solemnity, and finally his brows were tightly furrowed.
"What? Is there anything special about this secret method?" asked Zhan Yuwu.
"It is indeed special. It tells the story of a person who, when on the verge of death, forges his soul into a weapon, irrigates it with a huge amount of luck, and ultimately achieves a secret method of hiding the soul and achieving eternal life... But the process is too painful. Skin is peeled off, bones are extracted, and the heart is cut open to extract blood. Who can endure this?"
Yan Zhong shook his head and put the secret technique in his hand back.
"What's the situation outside?" Gong Yangwan asked as she walked to the door of the hall.
Galan gently opened the door a crack and was about to look out when a loud explosion of fire engulfed her figure and almost affected Gong Yangwan behind her.
Jia Lan immediately closed the palace door and spoke hesitantly:
"It seems... not good?"
…
Outside the palace,
Dense tree roots entwined around the tops of the three halls, and the swaying tree shadows flickered under the sky. A ray of sword light pierced through the void, splitting the towering tree in half in an instant!
A figure in green landed on the ruined ground. The sword Ama-no-Kusan flew in the air for a moment and then hovered steadily behind him.
At the bottom of the giant tree that had been split open, a shepherd boy slowly walked out, with a hideous sword mark on his body.
The bright red blood was imprinted on the ground with his footsteps, and dense green sprouts grew out the next moment. He frowned and looked at Lin Qiye in front of him, and said in a deep voice:
"Who are you? Why is the Hongmeng Spirit Embryo from Heaven here with you?"
"Why don't you answer me first, where is the Queen Mother of the West?"
"The Queen Mother is fighting a fake. As long as she is killed, the fakes in Yaochi will be completely eliminated... If you are from the Heavenly Court, why don't you join forces with us to fight the enemy, but fight me here?"
Lin Qiye raised his eyebrows, "Have you ever thought that you are also a fake?"
The shepherd boy narrowed his eyes slightly, "My fake has been killed by Zhu Rong and I. We saw him turn into willow branches with our own eyes. How can I be a fake?"
"Your perception has been modified."
“Nonsense.”
Seeing this, Lin Qiye shook his head helplessly. It would be extremely difficult to make the fake realize that he was a fake through words. It would be more direct to take action.
Just as Lin Qiye was about to attack again, a flash of light flashed from the sky above his head, and his figure was instantly frozen in place.
Also frozen in the frame with him were the wood god Ju Mang, as well as Zhu Rong, Huo Qubing and others standing beside him.
In an instant, the entire front of the Third Hall fell into silence.
That is...
Lin Qiye's pupils shrank slightly, and he saw a huge mirror emerging in the sky. The mirror clearly reflected the figures of all of them. A beautiful woman in a gilded purple-patterned robe walked out of the mirror.
Queen Mother of the West?
Lin Qiye recognized the Kunlun Mirror at a glance, but before he could speak, the second figure of a beautiful woman walked out of it.
The two Queen Mothers of the West stood side by side under the Kunlun Mirror, overlooking the Dan Palace and Lin Qiye and others below, their two pairs of beautiful eyes narrowed slightly...
"What's going on? Why aren't they fighting?" Chloe asked in surprise upon seeing this.
Huo Qubing frowned and looked at the two people in the sky, wondering what he was thinking.
"Queen Mother! These people stormed into the Dan Palace and fought with us. I wonder what their intention is." Although Ju Mang couldn't tell which one was the real Queen Mother of the West, he still took the initiative to report.
The two Queen Mothers of the West looked at each other, and the one on the left slowly spoke:
"how?"
"Kill them first." The one on the right answered.
"good."
As soon as the words fell, the two Queen Mothers of the West attacked at the same time. Two beams of dazzling green light pierced through the sky and earth, instantly piercing through the eyebrows of the two gods Ju Mang and Zhu Rong who were imprisoned in the Kunlun Mirror!
They had never expected the Queen Mother of the West to suddenly attack. They were still in their original imprisoned position, with a hideous blood hole marked on their foreheads, and their eyes were full of confusion as they looked up at the sky.
Why did the real and fake Queen Mother of the West suddenly join forces?
Why did they want to kill him?
The vitality of the two main gods quickly dissipated, and they finally fell in front of Lin Qiye and others, turning into two willow branches, each with two eyeballs.
"how?"
"What I saw was willow branches."
"I also saw willow branches."
The two Queen Mothers of the West looked at each other, their beautiful eyes slightly fixed.
"Now the whole Yaochi has been washed in blood... As long as I kill you, everything will be over."
"The same thing, I will give it back to you." The Queen Mother of the West on the right paused for a moment, then pointed downwards, "What about them?"
The two Queen Mothers of the West simultaneously lowered their heads and looked at Lin Qiye and others.
The scene before them was completely beyond Lin Qiye's expectations. They had originally thought that after entering Yaochi, they would identify the fake Queen Mother of the West, and then help the real Queen Mother of the West to kill her... But they never expected that the real and fake Queen Mother of the West would join forces and appear in front of them in such harmony.
“Junior Lin Qiye, nice to meet the Queen Mother of the West…” Lin Qiye spoke with a strange expression.
