Discoveries were also made in several other places. Mo Qin followed the clues and came to a dilapidated courtyard.
There was no one guarding the yard, so Mo Qin walked in as if he were in an empty place. Soon he found a secret tunnel behind the portrait in the main house of the yard.
The tunnel goes down slowly at first, then remains flat until it starts to go uphill near the exit.
The tunnel looked like it was used to transport something, as there were deep ruts on the dirt.
Mo Qin followed the secret passage for a long time before finding the exit.
Mo Qin looked around and found no one outside, but there were several large wooden boxes in the room where the exit was.
The large black wooden boxes were polished to a shine and neatly stacked together, filling the whole room with a lingering fragrance.
This taste is not unfamiliar.
The boxes were not locked. Mo Qin opened one at random and saw that it was full of blue beads.
The remaining boxes contained the same.
Compared with the ones here, the ones last time were nothing.
It’s hard to imagine how many victims it would take to get so many.
Are there other places that also...
Mo Qin was just about to go out to take a look when the door of the house was suddenly blown open by a strong wind.
The door hit the wall with a clang, and it seemed as if it was about to fall apart.
The sunlight shines in from the door, and outside the house is a square made of polished stone slabs.
Xue Xi was dressed in white, standing in the sun, tall and graceful, like a finely carved statue.
When he saw Mo Qin, his eyebrows curved, and he was obviously very happy.
"We meet again, Miss Mo."
Mo Qin was not surprised to see Xue Xi.
She stepped out of the room, and the door she reached out to was closed, with even a talisman carefully pasted on it.
If a fight really breaks out, the things in the house will be the best supplies for the monsters.
Xue Xi chuckled, as if mocking Mo Qin for doing unnecessary things.
Mo Qin looked at Xue Xi and did not detect any demonic aura from him.
She guessed, "You are a half-demon, right?"
To be able to conceal the demonic aura so perfectly, he must be either a powerful demon or a half-demon whose demonic aura is weak.
With special means, a half-demon might really be able to hide his identity perfectly.
It just so happens that the people active in the capital right now are all half-demons.
Xue Xi didn't deny it, but nodded honestly, "You guessed right, but it's a pity there's no reward."
So what if he is half-demon? He can still change his fate and is powerful enough to trample demons under his feet and make demon hunters run around in circles.
"Your uncle has thrown you out as bait, aren't you afraid?"
On the surface, Mo Qin and others found three clues pointing to different directions, but in fact, Song Tan had another clue in his hand, which pointed directly to Concubine Xiang in the palace.
That was a flaw that Xue Xi deliberately revealed, using Concubine Xiang as bait to force Song Tan into the game.
As expected, Song Tan fell into the trap and dispersed everyone in an attempt to divert his attention, intending to take down Concubine Xiang by surprise.
Little did he know that Concubine Xiang in the palace was actually half of Xue Xi. He set up this trap, but his real target was Mo Qin.
As long as Mo Qin eats it before Song Tan can react, Song Tan will be no match for him!
Xue Xi was able to discover Mo Qin's identity thanks to their sneaking into the Xue Mansion.
After discovering that Mo Qin's bloodline was special, Xue Xi immediately changed his strategy.
When Mo Qin saw Xue Xi, there was nothing she didn't understand.
"What do I have to be afraid of? Since my uncle has made such an arrangement, he will naturally have a way to deal with it."
Mo Qin looked like she blindly believed in the arrangements made by her uncle-master.
"Compared to you, isn't it Uncle Master who knows more about my peculiarities?"
Even if Song Tan didn't guess Xue Xi's true plan, she felt that she was not completely powerless to fight back.
If she really can't win, she can run away.
Xue Xi frowned, not seeing any trace of fear in Mo Qin.
It's not bluffing, does she really have something to rely on?
Before Xuexi could make a move, Mo Qin took action first.
The sharp sword was unsheathed and flew straight towards Xue Xi's face. Xue Xi didn't have time to think. He turned his wrist and held a snow-white sword in each palm of his hand.
It was made of frost and snow, and it carried a chilling chill when waved.
Mo Qin pressed on, distractedly asking, "Snow Demon?"
Xue Xi thought he had a sure win, but he didn't expect that his superb sword skills, which he had cultivated for a hundred years, could not compare to that of a teenage girl.
"Oh, I underestimated you!"
I thought Song Tan was the most difficult one, but I didn't expect Mo Qin to be so powerful.
Xue Xi knew that his sword skills were no match for his opponent, so he quickly distanced himself from his opponent.
The two swords came together, and a one-meter-wide icicle shot towards Mo Qin.
Mo Qin raised his sword to block and intercepted the powerful icicle.
When he raised his eyes, Xue Xi had already taken off into the air. Not only that, but a little white frost had already condensed on Xue Xi's body. He gestured a few times in the air, and snowflakes actually began to float under the scorching sun.
The sun shone on my body, but the temperature around me dropped very quickly.
When the snowflakes fall to the ground, they do not melt, but instead form a thin layer of ice on the ground.
Mo Qin was afraid that there was something wrong with the snowflake, so he placed a protective shield around his body, wrapping him up like a layer of gauze.
The snowflakes were melted by the protective shield before they even landed on her shoulders.
But even so, Mo Qin still felt restricted and his movements seemed to become slow.
Xue Xi raised his two swords again and attacked Mo Qin.
This time, the two of them fought back and forth.
The temperature around him was still dropping, and the protective shield on Mo Qin's body had no effect of keeping him warm. Xue Xi was originally a snow demon, and this cold environment not only did not restrict his movements, but had a positive effect on him.
The two were fighting fiercely when suddenly Xue Xi's figure flashed and Mo Qin stabbed him in the shoulder with a sword.
Xue Xi frowned and his expression became serious.
Mo Qin took advantage of the victory and pursued Xue Xi with several consecutive sword strikes, but none of them were fatal.
Red blood dripped onto the ground, and the snow in the sky also turned red.
Xue Xi's eyes were red, and he looked at Mo Qin with some anxiety.
The clone on Concubine Xiang's side could no longer resist.
The red snow was more powerful than before, and after a few times it actually penetrated the protective shield on Mo Qin's body.
The red snow was like needles, piercing the skin and soon drawing blood.
For a moment, Mo Qin couldn't tell whether the red was the same as the snowflakes or his own blood was redder.
-
The imperial palace, the palace of Concubine Xiang.
Song Tan swung the thin sword in his hand, and pink blood splashed onto the petals that fell beside him.
Concubine Xiang's face was pale, her clothes were stained red, and the ground was stained with large pools of blood.
"Why would you attack humans if you don't practice well as a demon?"
Concubine Xiang's usually gentle gaze turned as cold as ice. She sneered, "Practice? Humans won't tolerate me, and neither will the demons. How do you expect me to survive?"
"It's just a matter of winners and losers, why bother with all that nonsense!"
