Chapter 533 Something is wrong
When they arrived at the Demon Palace, the Palace Master had just finished a massacre.
The air was filled with the smell of blood and an extremely uncomfortable atmosphere.
Compared to the last time he came here with a calm demeanor, the Demon Lord now exudes brutality.
Tao Zi looked at the corpses piled on the ground, frowned uncomfortably, and said, "Killing them would be fine, but why torture them? These corpses are too ugly."
Palace Master Qiu Qianran sneered and said, "Don't be ridiculous. It's not like you haven't done such cruel things before."
Cheng Wuchou saw that he was obviously in an abnormal state, so he took a step forward and remained alert.
Cheng Luo quickly took a few steps back to ensure that he could hide in a safe area as quickly as possible when the fight started.
Tao Zi continued, "What's wrong with you? The outside world says you only killed a dozen people, but there are more than a dozen corpses here."
Qiu Qianran casually found an empty place to sit down and said, "Tao Zi, you are only at the Out-of-Body Stage, far inferior to me. Why bother with so much? Be careful or I'll kill you too."
"You won't kill me."
"Heh." Qiu Qianran sneered and said, "You quite know how to use Xuan Huan and the others."
Tao Zi smiled calmly and stated her purpose directly: "I came to find you because I wanted to ask you why the demon cultivator has been acting abnormally recently."
Qiu Qianran pressed his uncomfortable solar plexus before saying, "What does the abnormality of the demonic cultivators have to do with you? Besides, isn't the internal strife of the demonic cultivators a very good thing for righteous people like you?"
Tao Zi looked at him speechlessly for a long time before reminding him, "I am also a demon cultivator."
Qiu Qianran disagreed and said, "Sometimes, demonic cultivators can also be people of the righteous path. Okay, please go back."
Seeing that he refused to answer, she couldn't help but frown and said, "Palace Master Qiu, my purpose in coming here is just to understand the reason why the demon cultivators are acting abnormally. Why can't I tell you?"
"If you can't find the reason, you're just going to stay here?"
Tao Zi smiled and said, "Of course not. I would suggest Shaohua come over."
"you!"
Qiu Qianran was obviously irritated and stood up to look at her.
Tao Zi put away her smile and said, "Shaohua wants to kill you, Xuanhuan wants to kill you, everyone in the Chunqiu Sect wants to kill you, and I'm Xuanhuan's friend, so what if I help them?"
The demonic energy in his body suddenly erupted, and he seemed to be on the verge of losing control. He said, "Tao Zi, you are seeking death."
Tao Zi looked at him expressionlessly without saying a word.
The little ghost suddenly appeared at this time, and with a light wave of his hand, hundreds of ghosts appeared in front of everyone.
It’s obvious that each ghost is not very powerful, but when they stand together, there’s an inexplicable sense of shock.
Tao Zi has reached the out-of-body stage. With the blessing of the Ghost Record, the power of the little ghost has also been enhanced.
At the same time, the broken sword was unsheathed.
She stood there, and even though her inner demon was unconscious, it didn't matter. It didn't stop her from using the power of the tiger to bully others.
This time, it was Qiu Qianran who looked at her expressionlessly.
Tao Zi watched him suppress the surging demonic energy within him, then spoke, "Palace Master Qiu, I know you don't want to die, at least not at the hands of anyone outside the Spring and Autumn Sect. If that's the case, there's no need to confront me."
"Arrogant! Even if you are strong enough to attract heavenly thunder, it does not mean you can kill me!" Qiu Qianran scolded her with a sullen face, but he knew in his heart that she was right. A person who could kill the soul of the Heavenly Venerable naturally had the means to kill himself.
At this moment, Tao Zi looked at him thoughtfully, the broken sword moved, the sky was covered with dark clouds, and another thunder was coming.
The next moment, thunder struck and Cheng Luo fled.
In just a few seconds, the little ghost led the ghost army to fight with Qiu Qianran for several moves.
Seeing that he was no match for his opponent, Tao Zi ignored his previous boasts, called his brother, and left the Demon Palace together.
After they were completely away from the Demon Palace, Cheng Luo sat on the spirit ship he had fought so hard to catch up with. He collapsed to the ground exhausted and said, "What's wrong with this Palace Master? He just hits me without saying anything. You demon cultivators really can't understand."
Cheng Wuchou observed Tao Zi's condition and spoke only after confirming that she was fine: "Something is not right. From what I know, this Demon Lord is not someone who gets angry easily."
Cheng Luo laughed and joked, "Maybe he's gone astray."
Tao Zi leaned against the side of the boat with a pale face, drinking the hot water that her brother had brought from somewhere, and said, "Something is indeed wrong with Qiu Qianran, but it's not him."
The two of them looked over at the same time.
Tao Zi recalled the nauseating smell when she first entered the Demon Palace, as well as the words, "Sometimes, demon cultivators can also be people of the righteous path." She lowered her eyes and whispered, "There are aliens in the Demon Palace."
Cheng Luo didn't react yet and said, "How can there be no foreign spies?"
Tao Zi explained it more clearly: "There are aliens in the Demon Palace watching Qiu Qianran."
Cheng Luo paused for a moment, his expression changed: "He's been controlled?"
Cheng Wuchou dismissed this possibility and said, "Impossible. The Demon Lord has been watched by many parties. Once contaminated by aliens, he will be discovered immediately."
Tao Zi said: "I deliberately attracted the thunder in order to temporarily drive away the alien race."
Because of this, he even became so weak.
What's even worse is the inner demon. He woke up inexplicably and was struck by lightning again. It will probably take him even longer to recover.
I have to find some time to buy a few more storybooks.
Tao Zi's thoughts drifted for a moment.
Cheng Luo sat up straight, his expression becoming serious: "What's going on?"
Tao Zi avoided the topic and simply said, "Qiu Qianran is already quite good compared to the previous Palace Masters of the Demon Palace. At least during his reign, the number of demonic cultivators harming mortals has greatly decreased."
Cheng Wuchou nodded in agreement: "I remember someone said that, in a sense, the current Demon Palace Master is neutral and not as crazy as the previous ones. Otherwise, I would not have agreed to Tao Zi coming here to ask directly."
Cheng Luo was silent for three seconds before he said, "Can you two brothers speak human language? Does this have anything to do with the question I asked?"
"When something is out of the ordinary, there's something fishy going on," Tao Zi continued. "I deliberately provoked Qiu Qianran, and he brought up Xuan Huan. However, the Spring and Autumn Sect has always been a taboo for him, so bringing it up on his own initiative was definitely wrong."
As for the thunder in the sky, it was triggered at Qiu Qianran's signal.
Cheng Luo slowly came back to his senses, took a deep breath, and said, "Have you ever considered that I'm just a small golden elixir and can't withstand a lightning strike? Do you know how embarrassed I was when I escaped? Next time, tell me in advance, okay?"
Tao Zi sighed and said, "Brother Luo, look at Yan Wenxuan. When he was in the Heartbeat Stage, you were in the Golden Core Stage. Now that he is in the Golden Core Stage, you are still in the Golden Core Stage."
Cheng Luo was furious: "Going from the Heartbeat Stage to the Golden Core Stage is much easier than going from the early Golden Core Stage to the late stage. How can you compare them like that?"
Tao Zi smiled and said nothing, but the words Qiu Qianran said kept floating in her mind.
"The alien race is furious about the Minglan Sect incident."
"The demons killed were those who colluded with alien races"
"The new Demon Lord has appeared, suspected to be in the east"
east.
