"My lord, this old servant has returned. I have fulfilled my mission and brought back all the forbidden demon bodies." Kunlun Maggot looked at Fang Xiu with a smug expression, but a trace of loneliness was hidden deep in his eyes.
That was the loneliness of not having had enough fun.
However, Fang Xiu's next words instantly transformed his dejection into ecstasy.
"Well, next you will take the people of Ideal Land to the frontier. Soon a large number of monsters will invade Xia Kingdom. What you need to do is kill as many monsters as possible."
The Kunlun maggot was overjoyed. Killing was his favorite thing. He thought that after the mission was completed, he would be taken back into his body, but he did not expect that he could continue to go on missions.
"Yes, this old servant will certainly not disappoint my lord! By the way, my lord, these forbidden bodies together show a faint tendency to revive. Although this fiend's strength is only at the seventh level, this old servant was afraid that this fiend would soil your clothes, so I used a secret technique to sever the connection between the bodies and prevent its revival. Please forgive this old servant for taking the liberty of doing so."
Kunlun Maggot spoke very tactfully, but he knew very well that with Fang Xiu's current strength, he was no match for a seventh-level opponent and might even be smashed into the ground, but he certainly wouldn't dare to say it like that.
If given the chance, he would certainly love for Jin Gui to kill Fang Xiu, but he knew very well how difficult it was to kill Fang Xiu who had comprehended the word "Zhou". Even if he couldn't beat a seventh-level opponent, he would never be killed by a seventh-level opponent. Therefore, capturing Fang Xiu and winning his favor was the best course of action.
"Okay." Fang Xiu nodded. "Go ahead."
"Yes, my lord!" The Kunlun maggot happily accepted the order and left.
Fang Xiu calmly gazed at the scattered bodies of the forbidden monsters. They had eyes, arms, and tails, and the aura of law flowed over every part of their bodies.
He had a vague idea in his mind—to merge with the forbidden spirit, break the limitations of the human body, transform into a spirit body, and advance to the sixth rank!
Perhaps, once one merges with the Forbidden Ghost and advances to the sixth rank, one can rely on the power of the Forbidden Ghost to seal all the spatial nodes of the Xia Kingdom, instead of choosing to directly fill them with the Forbidden Ghost body.
Although it's possible to seal spatial nodes directly using the Forbidden Body, that would be equivalent to losing a seventh-tier monster for nothing.
The forbidden monster was the strange creature that Zhou Qingfeng fused with when he advanced to the sixth rank. With Zhou Qingfeng's discerning eye, the forbidden monster he chose would definitely not be bad. Even if it was not the best among the seventh rank monsters, it would definitely be one of the best.
Therefore, fusing with forbidden techniques to advance to the sixth rank is the best choice.
For ordinary fifth-order beings to break through to sixth-order, they must fuse with sixth-order strange creatures. It is already incredible to be able to fuse with a seventh-order strange creature, let alone a forbidden strange creature that can seal spatial nodes.
The reason Zhou Qingfeng removed the forbidden demons from his body was not because he couldn't seal the spatial nodes of Xia Kingdom, but because he couldn't seal the spatial nodes of the entire world.
After all, each spatial node is located in different parts of the world, and they are too far apart. It is impossible for him to stand in the Xia Kingdom alone and use the power of forbidden magic to seal off all the spatial nodes in the world.
Furthermore, he always thought about counterattacking the other side to avenge his dead relatives and comrades, so he naturally wouldn't stay in Xia Kingdom to maintain the seal forever. That's why he removed the forbidden monsters and dismembered them, placing them in various spatial nodes.
With Zhou Qingfeng's strength, he was confident that once he lost the forbidden ghosts, he would be able to find a more powerful ghost fusion than the forbidden ghosts once he reached the other shore.
Fang Xiu is now facing a different situation than Zhou Qingfeng; this invasion from the other side is already in its final stages.
If we compare the other shore to the sea, the sea is never calm; it will always send waves crashing against the shore. Every peak of the strange invasion is when the waves crash against the shore, and Zhou Qingfeng is facing a particularly large wave.
But Fang Xiu was facing a tsunami, a tsunami launched by the sea to swallow up the land.
The Forbidden Demons can no longer seal all spatial nodes; they can only concentrate all of them to seal the spatial nodes of the Xia Kingdom.
After a moment's thought, Fang Xiu finally decided to give it a try. Merging with the forbidden monster could potentially seal the spatial node of the Xia Kingdom and also advance him to the sixth rank, making it the best option at the moment.
With this thought in mind, he... committed suicide.
......
......
Let's rewind to the last four days before the invasion from the other side.
Inside the headquarters, in the conference room.
"What?! Captain Fang, you're going to take away all the forbidden bodies of the spatial nodes?!" Wuwei exclaimed in shock.
"This...this might be a bit inappropriate. If we're not careful, this could lead to the destruction of the world."
Fang Xiu glanced at him calmly and said indifferently, "If I wanted to destroy the world, why would I bother with this?"
The old Taoist priest was taken aback for a moment, then chuckled twice and said, "Indeed, indeed."
Fang Xiu slowly swept his gaze across the group of high-ranking officials at headquarters: "Tomorrow, all the major spatial nodes will go out of control, the spatial rifts will continue to expand, and eventually the seal will be completely destroyed. The Other Shore invaded through the spatial nodes, so I plan to take all the Forbidden Ghost Bodies, merge with them, advance to the sixth rank, and then use the power of the Forbidden Ghosts to seal all the spatial nodes within the Xia Kingdom."
The high-ranking officials looked thoughtful. Yang Ming said loudly, "Brother Xiu, why say so much? We'll all listen to you anyway."
"Yes, I have already sent people to retrieve the forbidden body of the foreign space node. The reason I am notifying you is to have you lead a team to the Dao-Buddha space node. After I take the forbidden body of the Dao-Buddha space node, there will be a vacuum period during the fusion process. There will definitely be a large number of strange invasions. What you need to do is to block the strange invasions before I successfully fuse with it."
"Wuwei and Kongjian will each lead their teams to guard their respective spatial nodes. I will also send an additional ten thousand Taotie beasts as support. Let's begin the operation."
"Yes, Captain!"
With Fang Xiu's command, the entire headquarters began to operate like a sophisticated machine.
With Wuwei and Kongjian as captains, each leading half of the headquarters' combat power, along with five thousand Taotie and a million soldiers, they split into two groups and went to the Dao-Buddha space node.
Night fell quickly, and the Kunlun Maggot brought back all the forbidden demon bodies once again.
Fang Xiu then took the Forbidden Body to the Daoist spatial node and, without the slightest hesitation, directly retrieved the Forbidden Body from the Daoist spatial node.
boom!
The faint sound of a seal breaking could be heard from the void, followed by a continuous buzzing and roaring.
The next moment, an eerie tide surged from the depths of the spatial rift, like a floodgate being opened.
However, Fang Xiu didn't even glance at these strange things before turning around and leaving.
"Fatty."
"Alright, Brother Xiu!"
Whoosh!
A flash of white light appeared, and the two of them appeared at the Buddhist spatial node.
Fang Xiu followed the same method and took the forbidden ghost body from the Buddhist spatial node. At this point, all the forbidden ghost bodies were gathered.
