"you……"
Helian Xiao had just uttered two words when Meng Wanwan, whose face had fallen into the grass, looked up and Erkang pointed at him.
"Uncle, help! Someone's trying to kill us!"
Helian Xiao felt a throbbing pain in his temples and had a very bad premonition.
He ignored Meng Wanwan and turned to look at Meng Xiuyi, who had already sat up from the ground and was picking grass leaves.
"Uncle Meng?"
Meng Xiuyi pursed her lips and thought for a moment before looking behind her. Then she clutched her chest and weakly said, "Help!"
Helian Xiao: "..."
This was truly the most insincere plea for help he had ever heard in his life.
Meng Xiuyi naturally realized that he was not sincere enough, so he coughed twice and bit the fruit that Meng Wanwan had stuffed into his mouth before they fell.
Red juice flowed out.
It actually looks quite convincing.
Helian Xiao covered his forehead with his hand and turned his face to the side: "Quick, quick, get up, this is terrible..."
It's so spicy it hurts my eyes.
Of the four people in front of them, apart from the older child who looked like he was about to collapse from exhaustion, the others, though travel-worn, didn't seem like they had been chased for a long time.
Meng Wanwan also expressed disappointment with the acting skills of her own people, but the fact that they were being chased was real.
Next, we'll have to see what she does.
Just as Helian Xiao was about to take a step forward, Meng Wanwan rushed over and hugged his leg.
"Uncle! Don't go! There are remnants of the demon race there!"
Helian Xiao looked at him in confusion: "What did you say?"
Meng Wanwan pointed to the place they had flown from: "We're being chased by the remnants of the Demon Clan!"
Helian Xiao frowned and looked into the distance.
At this moment, a black aura rapidly spread over, sweeping across the space with a heavy malevolent energy.
The sky darkened rapidly, black mist blotted out the sun, and a chilling, sticky atmosphere made people nauseous.
Helian Xiao's face immediately turned cold. He waved his hand and threw out his greatsword. The greatsword landed beside them, and a gust of wind quickly spread out around it, creating a quiet area.
The black malevolent energy was pushed outwards by the hurricane, maintaining a huge circular shape. Inside the circle was a tranquil, real space, but outside the circle was a dense black aura.
Helian Xiao put away his usual playful expression and looked at the black mist seriously, saying, "This is not some remnant of the demon race. During the war between gods and demons, the demon race was completely wiped out, not a single one was left."
"This is probably a magic weapon of the demon race."
He sneered and shouted, "Who goes there? Get your ass out here!"
Li Dao certainly wouldn't dare to come out.
Who is this?
This is the young master of the Helian family!
A person who specializes in writing account clearance notices!
Li Dao held the compass in his hands, his hands trembling slightly, and stared at Bai Changxue with wide eyes.
What to do? Fight or not?
Bai Changxue was also a little afraid of Helian Xiao. She never expected that the Meng family would be so lucky, running into Helian Xiao while trying to escape.
He shook his head at Li Dao.
Don't go out yet. They can reveal their identities in front of the Meng family because the Meng family members are just rogue cultivators and insignificant.
Even if they tell others about it later, no one will believe them, and even if someone wants to believe it, there is no evidence.
Because the Meng family was poor, the poor certainly didn't have any photos or time scrolls to record their lives.
But Helian Xiao is different!
As long as they can find even the slightest clue, the Helian family can follow the trail to uncover the truth!
They were still hesitant about whether to continue, after all, the opportunity was too good to pass up.
Helian Xiao was getting impatient waiting.
"Not coming out?" Helian Xiao sneered, and took out a stack of yellow papers from his storage bag.
Um!
It wasn't actually yellow paper, but a stack of talismans.
He tossed the stack of yellow paper into the air, where the yellow talismans flew. But instead of falling one by one, they spun rapidly as if in an organized and disciplined manner, searching for their own positions, and then linked together one after another until they formed a chain of yellow talismans that swirled throughout the space.
The moment the chain was formed, the yellow talisman emitted bursts of golden light.
Li Dao's pupils contracted sharply.
"It's a Demon-Locking Talisman!"
He didn't wait any longer and sent a burst of spiritual energy directly onto the compass.
A mournful and distant cry emanated from the compass, and as it sounded, the thick black mist seemed to solidify and invade the people in the Pure Land.
Bai Changxue retorted angrily, "What are you doing? As long as we're alive, we can always fight again. Do you really want to fight to the death with these people?"
Li Dao frowned deeply, his eyes filled with madness.
"Once the Demon-Locking Talisman is activated, it directly locks onto the magic weapon. If it is truly locked, then the magic weapon is rendered useless."
He turned to look at Bai Changxue, his eyes filled with a terrifying madness.
"I can't lose this treasure! Do you know? It's my only hope in the Shanglin Sect! Everyone says that the Shanglin Sect is in decline and is now in ruins. They're right. The Shanglin Sect doesn't even have a single Grade 3 pill."
“Some ambitious disciples have already reached into the forbidden gate. Forbidden medicines, cultivation techniques, and magical treasures have all been brought out.”
Li Dao suddenly laughed: "But it is because of these things that we have actually... actually obtained some things that we could not obtain before."
Suddenly, his eyes turned fierce.
“Demon artifacts aren’t so useful. If I get what I want, I’ll have to pay a price. So, I want the Scroll of All Heavens. I want to know where my future path leads. Or perhaps, it can give me an unexpected surprise.”
He originally wanted to give up this opportunity, but unexpectedly, Helian Xiao directly used the Demon-Locking Talisman.
Li Dao's eyes were filled with determination.
The spiritual energy within his body continuously flowed into the compass.
Within the Pure Land, Meng Wanwan saw the chain-like talisman darting about in the thick black mist, seemingly searching for something.
Occasionally, something would strike one of its talismans, making a metallic clanging sound.
The talisman that was attached to the paper was noticeably duller in color.
Helian Xiao raised an eyebrow: "Still want to put up a stubborn resistance?"
He formed a hand seal and struck the talisman with a sword-like finger, causing the dimmed talisman to light up again.
At this time, the four members of the Meng family were unusually honest.
Big and small, they all stood neatly behind Helian Xiao, looking as if they had just opened their eyes and were saying, "I am weak and obedient."
Meng Wanwan snuggled closer to Meng Xiuyi and whispered, "Father... this battle situation seems to be exceeding our expectations..."
Meng Xiuyi sighed, marveling at her daughter's good fortune.
Every time, she manages to make a huge fuss over the smallest thing.
This time, she only wanted to use Li Dao and the others to let Helian Xiao know that the Meng family was being hunted down because of that black box.
And since Helian Xiao gave that black box to Meng Wanwan, he has to bear some responsibility for it, doesn't he?
So, is it alright for them to beg for the protection of the Helian family?
If the Helian family doesn't protect them, is it okay for them to seek protection from Helian Xiao?
But who could have imagined...
The demonic artifact has even appeared?
