As it said this, it actually rose from the ground, its tall and strong body moving, and the eyes of the skulls on its body flashed green, and then they all opened their mouths wide and pounced towards Xiao Shuangbao and the others, biting them.
"You don't do evil! Then don't kill them! They are all human heads! They are human beings! If you kill them! That would be evil!" said the locust tree demon viciously.
"That's absurd!" Little Shuangbao raged, raising his hand to smash a piece of skull. "The person is already dead! You've refined these bones and made them part of your body, so they're no longer human! Why shouldn't we kill them? Kill them!"
As Xiao Shuangbao spoke, the golden sword in his hand suddenly grew several times larger.
She slashed at the locust tree monster with her sword!
"Ahhh!" The locust tree demon was hit, and the tree trunk was split into two parts, causing it to scream in pain!
"Daddy!" Little Shuangbao immediately called out to the Ghost King.
"Yeah." Ghost King Su Liao nodded, then raised his hand.
Suddenly, the locust tree demon seemed to be imprisoned, and both halves of its body could not move... as if something important was about to be taken away!
Not long after, a piece of soul fragment with a dark red glow flew out of its body and fell into the hands of the Ghost King.
Su Liao immediately absorbed the fragment.
After the locust tree demon lost this fragment, its body quickly shrank, and its originally thick branches quickly shrank and became shriveled. The branches and leaves that were lush just now instantly fell to the ground.
This locust tree demon looked like an old woman who had lost her youthful appearance and instantly turned into a wrinkled face.
Soon, it shrank into a dry tree that had no water and looked like it was about to die.
“Ahhhhhh!”
Realizing the changes in its body, it couldn't help but scream again, "They lied to me! They all lied to me! They clearly told me that with this fragment, I would become stronger! I would attain enlightenment! But I didn't expect that all the hard work I put into building dreams and tricking humans into eating their souls ended up being fed to this fragment! All my cultivation was also unknowingly sucked away by this fragment! They lied to me!"
The locust tree demon found it hard to accept that he was about to die, and kept screaming in pain.
Little Shuangbao frowned slightly.
"What did you say? Them? Besides Yun Wuchen, who else could it be?" She was absolutely certain that the soul fragments were given by Yun Wuchen, and that Yun Wuchen had chosen this locust tree demon as one of the containers for the soul fragments...
But from what the locust tree demon said, isn’t it more than just Yun Wuchen?
At this moment, the locust tree demon listened to Little Shuangbao's questioning words, looked at it unwillingly, then shook its dry body and finally muttered in a low voice: "...The world is about to change. You lied to me, it was the Ghost Mother who lied to me..."
After saying that, it fell apart, collapsed in ruins, and turned into a pile of dead branches.
"What? Ghost Mother?" Little Shuangbao was somewhat shocked by its last words. "Isn't Ghost Mother already dead? Wasn't she killed by my father, who was the Ghost King of the Underworld? What does it mean by this?"
"This means that the Ghost Mother has either been resurrected, or she never died. I suspect the second possibility is more likely."
Qin Cheng, who had previously hidden in the ancient bronze coins, appeared again at this time.
He let out a long breath, feeling nauseous.
He just said.
Why had Su Liao always failed to transcend his tribulations in previous lives? Why did he and his wife and daughter die at almost the same fixed time in each life? Why was he ultimately resurrected as a mad ghost king who destroyed the entire world?
In the past, he always thought that Heaven was too harsh on Su Liao.
Now I finally understand.
This is most likely because the ghost mother was not dead at all back then!
It was she who had been secretly interfering, causing Su Liao to fail in every life until this last one...
If he fails again in this life, the entire world will be completely destroyed. The Ghost King will not have another life and will completely disappear from the entire Three Thousand Worlds. However, the Ghost Mother is different. She is as old as the heaven and the earth. She is an old thing born in the ancient times and will continue to live as long as the sky.
The Ghost Mother's goal is to completely destroy Su Liao along with the world.
"Shuangbao, there's no time left. You must find Yun Wuchen as soon as possible! I suspect he's the Ghost Mother's spokesperson in the human world. Only by finding Yun Wuchen can we find the Ghost Mother's whereabouts! The Ghost Mother must die! Otherwise, your father will disappear completely!"
Qin Cheng said in a serious tone.
