Chapter 461 Kill them all before you die
The impression that everyone in the Dou tribe had of Lingwei Daojun was that he complained from time to time about Kaiyang.
You can't really see what they are busy with every day. They just eat, drink and have fun, wasting the resources of the Heavenly Palace every day. They make noises for their own selfish desires, and revenge for personal gain is the norm.
Although everyone knew Kaiyang's personality, they couldn't help but have a negative impression of Lingwei.
But when I really met Lingwei, I realized that there are not so many idle people in this world.
The Taoist Lord is the Taoist Lord. Even if he is not even a fraction of their age, he is still the real Taoist Lord.
The cold pressure made it difficult for Yaoguang to breathe. She spoke with difficulty, "Dao Jun, when the Thunder Department was patrolling the heavens to search for the Heavenly Dog, they found Kaiyang acting suspiciously. When they went to capture him, they accidentally found the corpse of a scattered immortal. His soul had been scattered, his immortal power had been absorbed, and his skin was empty."
"Ten thousand years ago, there was an evil demon causing trouble. I guess Daojun doesn't know much about evil demons."
"Although things have been peaceful for a long time, Kaiyang was caught today. He looked just like the evil demon that appeared before. We confronted him and he fought back, but he ran away after being defeated."
"After the Thunder Department told us, I chased after Saint Disciple Tian all the way. I searched the residences of all other Dao Lords, and only yours was left. I didn't expect Kai Yang to actually break into the residence of a Dao Lord. I wonder if it caused any irreversible consequences?"
Lin Du raised his eyes and saw the people from the Thunder Department who arrived a step later.
She raised her eyebrows. Mo Lin happened to be off duty, so the news did not reach her. Was it a coincidence?
But as long as there is human presence, there won’t be too many coincidences.
The Taoist Lord and the Star Lord of the Thunder Department bowed to Lin Du and said, "Where is Kaiyang's body? We need to deal with it quickly. If the demon fetus escapes, it will definitely lead to another tragedy."
Lin Du looked at them carefully and said, "Come in."
The three of them entered the mansion and saw the corpse under the tree.
Yaoguang frowned, as if he couldn't bear it.
The people of the Thunder Department were different from the Emperor who was directly under the Fighting Department. They bypassed the swaying light and went straight forward. They bent over and took off a golden bag from the corpse, revealing a precious jade that was exactly the same as the precious tree in Lin Du's mansion.
"Take a look, Taoist Lingwei. This is the shielding magic weapon he made from the branches of the Three Pure Ones tree."
Lin Du lowered his eyes and said nothing, scanning the marks on it. The Three Purities Treasure Tree was a treasure tree born from the original pure energy, so it could serve as the eye of the formation to suppress the entire source of demonic energy for so many years. However, unless one was like her who could reach the Heaven of Saints and the Heaven of the Three Purities, it would be impossible to obtain it. Such a treasure would never be seen at the auction of the city of the immortals.
But the patterns on it are indeed the traces of Kaiyang.
Formation masters all have their own unique habits. A truly expert formation master can tell the personal habits of each formation at a glance. The formation of Lingbao in front of him was indeed created by Kaiyang.
Lin Du didn't show any emotion on his face. "So that's how it is. Then how do you detect whether an immortal is pregnant with a demon fetus?"
The Taoist priest of the Thunder Department shook his head and said, "This thing is hidden very deep, and we can't find it. If it weren't for the evil spirit that Kaiyang Canghuang used with his immortal power, we wouldn't have been able to find it."
"Unless we wait until the body is dead and then open it up to verify, it cannot be determined by conventional means. When it broke out in the past, we also asked the real Buddha from the Western Paradise to check it out, but it sometimes failed."
The star god had already cut open Kaiyang's abdomen and took out the immortal essence from his lower dantian. There seemed to be a broken mirror above the immortal essence, emitting a faint immortal aura. It was another magical treasure.
After Lin Du's mirror shattered, the mark of the demon fetus was revealed inside.
The Taoist Master of Thunder Department spoke up and said, "Look, Taoist Master Lingwei, this demon fetus has accumulated a lot of the three poisons, and the back of this fairy mirror shows traces of being infected by the three poisons for nearly ten thousand years, which means Kaiyang was occupied by the demon fetus ten thousand years ago."
She looked at the seal for a long time, so long that when the Star Lord of the Thunder Department was hesitating whether to say anything, Lin Du withdrew his gaze and said, "In that case, you can take the body away and deal with it."
Thunder Star Lord heaved a sigh of relief, "The Taoist Lord was frightened. It's our fault for not being able to capture him."
Last time, something happened to Taoist Lingwei in the residence of Saint Disciple Tian, and the entire Siwei Mansion was searched. If their Thunder Department also suffered a disaster because of this, it would be too terrible.
"That's fine. I'm curious, where was he found?"
"It's a long wild forest," Xingjun replied, "our patrol officer passed by and found something wrong."
"Has the dog been found that day?"
"Tengu...Tengu has not been found yet, but judging from the situation at the scene, Tengu must have escaped long ago."
Lin Du nodded slightly, "It's okay."
The Thunder God summoned the heavenly soldiers to carry the corpse away. Lin Du suddenly stepped forward and picked up the broken sword. "Is this broken sword the sword of the Kaiyang God?"
Yaoguang answered, "Yes, this was when he first joined the Fighting Tribe and made great contributions in killing evil spirits. The Emperor of Heaven allowed him to choose a treasure as a reward, and Kaiyang chose a sword."
Lin Du heard it and repeated, "Emperor of Heaven?"
Yan Guang nodded, and seeing Lin Du's subtle expression, he asked one more question, "What's wrong? Is there a problem?"
Lin Du shook his head. "No problem. I just asked out of curiosity."
It seems that this matter needs further consideration.
Yan Guang looked at Lin Du, and inexplicably wanted to say one more thing, "Does Daojun also find it strange?"
Lin Du looked at her, "Xingjun also finds this strange?"
"I just feel that Kaiyang is usually ruthless and has a very impatient temper. In front of outsiders, he can still maintain a bit of elegance and dignity as a star king. In fact, he is the person who is least good at disguising himself in our fighting department. How could it be... But this is the fact. I didn't see the scene discovered by the thunder department, but a corpse can't lie."
"Moreover, he usually hates this place where the source of the demonic energy is buried. This time, he took the initiative to run here when he was injured. This is even more ironclad evidence... After being injured, the evil demon can repair its body damage by absorbing the evil demonic energy, not the immortal energy."
Yao Guang was obviously having a headache. "No matter how much I don't want to believe it, I have no choice but to believe it. It's all irrefutable evidence."
Lin Du stared at Yao Guang. Her words and emotions were genuine. Even she was wondering if the Heart-Binding Rope had failed to detect anything wrong with his body because of the two magical weapons blocking it.
She suddenly frowned, "Kaiyang, come into my fantasy world."
This is so clever, so clever that it makes Lin Du look too incompetent.
The chain of evidence is too sufficient. The only mistake is that Kaiyang has entered the Floating Life Fan. If the matter of Kaiyang is determined, the Floating Life Illusion will be inferior. The attitude that Lin Du showed before was to find out the wrongdoings of everyone in Tiangong. The person behind the scenes must know what she intended to do by guarding the origin of the evil spirit.
She wants to find out the evil demon, so Kaiyang is the evil demon.
As soon as Kaiyang arrived, Lin Du was really at a disadvantage.
However, the broken sword held by Kaiyang was given by the Emperor of Heaven. If Lin Du felt that it was inappropriate for Kaiyang to be an evil demon, he could only investigate the Emperor of Heaven, which would change Lin Du's battle line from the Emperor of Heaven's tolerance range to the opposite side of the Emperor of Heaven.
Now, even if Wei Zhi successfully found out the truth about Yin Huaitian's death and knew who was hiding the demon fetus in the Heavenly Palace, Lin Du could not use the Floating Life Illusion to detect it if he wanted to make trouble, because Kaiyang could not detect it, and Lin Du had no name and no means of detection.
This is a conspiracy.
A more blatant plot than the last Eight Views Mirror.
Lin Du had been active for many years, but this was the first time that all his arrangements were disrupted. The situation was so tricky that Lin Du couldn't even think of a solution at the first moment.
Seeing that Lin Du was lost in thought, Yaoguang bowed and said, "If there is nothing else, Yaoguang will take his leave first."
Lin Du nodded, "Go slowly, Star Lord."
After everyone had left, Lin Du raised his hand and used his magical power to reseal the entire mansion.
Chu Guanmeng looked at Lin Du anxiously, "Are you in big trouble?"
Lin Du shook his head, not making any comment, and walked back to the mansion to sit down, "Let me think about it."
Kaiyang may not be reliable. After having the two magical treasures, it is difficult to say whether the reaction of the Heart-Binding Rope can be used as a reference. The only reference is the illusory world of floating life. But even the teachings of the Three Officials Emperor do not give a specific answer as to whether the evil spirit can be detected unconditionally. Lin Du has to figure it out on his own.
"Impossible." Lin Du said softly, "How is it possible?"
She looked at the Floating Life Fan on the table. "The Floating Life Fan determines a person's entire journey. Even if someone turns into a demon in the middle of the journey, there should be a display."
Chu Guanmeng looked at Lin Du who was leaning on the corner of the table. The immortal took out the chessboard, which was rare for him, and played chess against himself. All he could hear was the sound of chess pieces falling into place.
The last time I saw Lin Du so withdrawn was last time.
Maotuanzi didn't understand the chess game, but he felt a little scared for some reason.
Only when the stars were shining and the sound of coldness could be heard in the air did Lin Du get up.
She walked leisurely to the tree and raised it casually. The nail of Xiaoqiguan popped out of the ground with a click, and a soul squeezed out of the soil with difficulty.
"If you come later, I will really become a demon." The soul gritted its teeth, but felt inexplicably weak.
Lin Du leaned down and nonchalantly lifted up the soul with his floating life fan. "Really? Isn't that perfect?"
Kaiyang: ...
He whispered, "The immortal that was implanted in the demon fetus cannot be separated and can only be destroyed along with the fallen god demon fetus. How did you do it?"
"You can see clearly the meaningless struggle created by these little people in the world." Lin Du said in a flat and cold tone, "Why? Are you wronged?"
Kaiyang dared not feel wronged, and even wished he could strangle his past self to death.
But isn't Lin Du a person who holds grudges too much?
Lin Du asked, "Why are you holding the Emperor's Broken Sword? Is the Emperor the one behind this?"
Kaiyang was speechless, Lin Du frowned slightly, then understood.
The person behind the scenes is no less intelligent than her, so how could he not notice this?
Lin Du thought for a moment and said, "How about this, if it's right, just say apple, if it's wrong, just say peach, okay?"
"The demon fetus in your body was only recently placed there, right?"
The soul ball squeezed out two words in despair, "Apple, peach."
Lin Du: ...
"Forget it, it's useless." Lin Du said as he flipped his hand as if he wanted to crush the soul directly.
"No, no, I can't answer that. I... you can understand, right?" The soul ball wrinkled anxiously, "You are so smart, you can understand, right?"
Lin Du sneered, "Now you think I'm smart? I'm still useful, but you are useless."
Kaiyang was so anxious that he stuttered, "No, Lingwei Daojun, you can't think of me like this, I really tried my best, I thought I was going to die, so I came here to give you a final warning, you really don't care about the hint I gave you at all."
Lin Du lowered his eyes, the ends of his eyes pointed straight up, and drew a cold arc, "Do you know that the demon fetus in your body can be proved to have existed ten thousand years ago? If you come, it will be very disadvantageous to me."
"I can understand that you didn't have a demon fetus in your body before, but you did have a trigger, but you didn't know that you were transformed into an evil demon after the incident, right?"
"apple."
"But you really forged the Lingbao?"
"Apple, no, I can say that I forged it, but I didn't do it to block out evil spirits. I have a quick temper and a calm mind."
Lin Du nodded, but he didn't believe it at first. "This precious jade can only be obtained by people above the emperor. The mastermind behind this is the person you least expected, Fusang?"
"..." Kaiyang's soul ball suddenly shrank even more, "I don't know, I really don't know, it's impossible, you miss Taozi!"
Lin Du suddenly became a little irritated. She sighed and said, "The broken surface of the sword shows signs of burning. Don't you really know?"
There was a brief silence on the other side. "Apple."
"But it's impossible." Kaiyang repeated, "It's absolutely impossible. There must be another conspiracy."
"Even you think it's impossible," Lin Du raised his hand to support his forehead, "others will think it's even more impossible."
She took out the soul-raising wood that had housed many broken souls. "There were two bad guys' souls in this wood before. One disappeared, and the other was dealt with by me according to the sect's rules. You should just stay in this third-hand piece of wood."
Kaiyang felt that Lin Du's revenge was naked and he was just trying to scare people.
"To be able to cast a silent spell on a star king, and to do it so thoroughly and deeply, your cultivation and magical powers are superior to mine."
Lin Du stated the facts, "Although I am only a Dao Lord, the difference between me and Yuan Lord is only in my cultivation reserve, not in my character."
"Kaiyang, remember, it was me who saved your chance of reincarnation."
Kaiyang was silent for a moment, "Of course I know."
How could he not know? Otherwise he would have jumped up in anger a long time ago.
"I'm sorry, thank you."
"Forget it, one last question." Lin Du held the soul-nourishing wood, "Yin Huaitian, do you know?"
The soul in the Soul-Nourishing Tree was silent for a long time, "I'm sorry for her."
"Back then, she said that she had refined a magical treasure that could identify all the immortals with demon fetuses, and she planned to try it out at the source of demonic energy first. After the news came out, we didn't pay much attention."
"But we received a message from her asking for help at night that day, saying there was an evil demon, but the seal array where she was was clearly not moving, so we didn't go there, and after that, she never showed up again."
"Yin Huaitian...she has been involved in many wrongful convictions because of evil spirits. People in the Heavenly Palace say that she has been possessed by a demon. So I don't know if she really encountered an evil spirit that day, or if...something else happened."
Chu Guanmeng heard this and suddenly rushed up, slapping the piece of wood several times so hard that it almost left a shadow, and let out a threatening growl from his throat.
Lin Du let it go on and on without doing anything else.
She picked up a pen and wrote a few letters, left them in the Three Yuans and Nine Palaces, and then went up to the Thirty-Sixth Heaven.
She won't stop moving forward, nor should she.
She is not a chess piece trapped in a plan, nor is she a container, but a controller.
The thirty-sixth heaven, Daluo heaven, the ultimate of the holy realm. Those who are allowed to reach this place must be saints who will not pollute the origin.
Thousands of years ago, there was Yinhuaitian, and now there is Lindu.
On the way up, Lin Du's eyelashes were already covered with frost, and he looked even more majestic than Mount Yujing.
Chu Guanmeng suddenly had a premonition of something and whispered, "Are you going to complete Yin Huaitian's will?"
Lin Du finally responded, "Didn't I promise you this?"
Chu Guanmeng stuttered a little. He always felt that Lin Du seemed to be seeking death.
Lin Du is not someone who identifies with those in high positions. Deep down, she is unwilling to submit to anyone. The only thing that can make her willingly submit to others is the sincere kindness of others.
That day, Daozu simply gave her permission, and she performed the highest etiquette. Chu Guanmeng originally thought that she was thanking Daozu for granting her permission.
But something was wrong.
Something is really wrong.
Chu Guanmeng began to regret. Why didn't he take a look at the letter Lin Du left for that group of people? It couldn't be a suicide note, right?
Lin Du guessed Chu Guanmeng's thoughts, "If I really die, I will take the mastermind with me and kill them all before I die."
Chu Guanmeng gave a fake smile and covered Lin Du's mouth. "If you say anything more, the Origin Pure Qi will digest you first."
Lin Du, who had a mouth full of hair for unknown reasons, silently pulled out the ball of hair and went up to the thirty-sixth heaven. He closed his eyes when the refreshing air entered his body.
Once upon a time, one rune was enough to occupy Lin Du's entire divine residence. Now, Lin Du can use it constantly in his consciousness without any taboos.
The original pure energy continued to flow into her body. Normally, this power would take a long time for an immortal to digest even a little bit, but now it was running rampant in Lin Du's body.
The rope around his wrist was also glowing at this moment, and divine talismans kept overflowing and pouring into Lin Du's consciousness.
In the thirty-sixth heaven, pure energy swirled around the white-haired immortal, divine light spread, and runes flowed, day and night, as if he was a god who was born here.
Inside the Twenty-Eight Heavens, Three Origins and Nine Prefectures, several people looked at the letter and fell into deep thought.
The next day, the Three Yuans and Nine Palaces closed their doors to visitors, and the courtyards inside and outside were deserted again, like a flower that bloomed briefly and withered in the dark night before dawn.
