Chapter 109 Dongfeng Wait, why is it this Dongfeng?! ...
Midnight, Zi hour.
The owls cried mournfully and the wind was howling coldly.
The sky is always covered with a layer of gray, and seeing it too much makes people feel tired.
The two guards stood at the gate of the courtyard, holding their eyes open. One of them yawned secretly and whispered to his companion, "Let me take a nap for a while, just half an hour, how about that?"
The guard on the right frowned: "That's not good, if someone sees this..."
"What could possibly happen?" The guard on the left curled his lips and pointed his chin towards the yard. "That guy fell silent two hours ago. He might be sleeping soundly now. We are the only ones suffering from this... Besides, you saw him when we delivered meals in the daytime. He didn't even offer a bowl of hot soup. How can we expect him to cause any trouble?"
As he spoke, he rubbed his shriveled belly and yawned again.
The guard on the right thought about it and realized that this made sense, so he said, "Okay, just half an hour, and it will be my turn later."
It's just a cauldron for people to draw nourishment from, and it's also deeply trapped in the soul abyss. I think no matter how great its abilities are, it can't make any waves.
While the guard on the left squinted his eyes with confidence, the person on the right listened attentively for a long time. Finally, he couldn't help it, stretched quietly and closed his eyes.
A little puppet swaggered past my feet.
"Da da da."
The guard on the right opened his eyes impatiently, vaguely saw something moving on the ground, and subconsciously poked at it with the halberd in his hand: "Who!"
The next moment, there was an explosion and flames shot up into the sky!
The heat wave made him stagger, and the guard's drowsy mind suddenly became clear.
——There is no living thing in front of me. It is obvious that there is a fire in the courtyard next door!
No, there's no way the Soul Abyss could catch fire!
He hurriedly woke up his companion on the left and shouted, "Something happened!"
The fire burned fiercely, and the flames jumped along the moss like living things, spreading rapidly and violently on the wood and tiles.
The two guards were in a panic, one was busy putting out the fire, and the other rushed into the yard behind to catch Qi Qing.
Soon, he rushed out of the yard again.
The halberd seemed particularly clumsy in his hand, so the guard simply held it with one hand like a sword and rushed to his companion who was putting out the fire: "I'll help you!"
The children in the next yard had already fled in all directions out of fear. Their companions tried several times with magic spells but to no avail. They stamped their feet anxiously, "What help? Go get help! This fire is strange, it must be related to the monk in the yard!"
"Him?" The guard snorted disdainfully. "How could he have such ability? I just knocked him down. It's just a small fire. You can't put it out. I will!"
Before he could finish his words, the fire suddenly leapt up and the heat wave forced him to retreat again and again. The crying of the children was particularly annoying amid the crackling fire.
His companion was choked by the smoke and his tears were streaming down his face. Seeing his stubbornness and arrogance, he was so angry that he stabbed his halberd and said, "Wait, I'm going to find the adults!"
As soon as he ran away, the guard suddenly snapped his fingers and shouted to the children, "Go!"
With the token on his waist, he passed through the bustling streets unhindered and headed straight to the foot of the mountain outside the city.
A group of old, weak, women and children had quietly gathered there, and standing in the front was a masked young man in a nightgown.
Seeing him rushing over, the young man nodded slightly to him, while the elderly, the weak, women and children showed panic on their faces.
"Don't be afraid, it's me."
Qi Qing wiped off the disguise on his face, and his aura instantly returned to normal.
When he took out Yue Ji's little doll, the people of the Mirage Clan immediately relaxed a lot.
"It's the young master's aura!"
"Is the young master here?"
Qi Qing said hello to the masked Jiang Chenqiu: "Things are almost done, get ready to meet up with him."
"Leaving now?" Jiang Chenqiu asked in a low voice.
Qi Qing looked back at the city. The fire had already illuminated half the sky red. Those children were so quick that the whole city was in chaos in the blink of an eye.
He hesitated for a moment and said, "You go first."
Even though they had the fire lotus seedlings and talismans left by Yue Ji, they were still children after all. If they were caught... the consequences would be disastrous.
Jiang Chenqiu turned around as he was told and said to the empty space, "Senior, please guard the rear."
“What are you talking about?” The old man from the Mirage Clan showed up and said in a deep voice, “Hurry up, let’s go now!”
Watching the Mirage Clan members disappear into the mountain paths and evacuate one after another, Qi Qing returned to the city without hesitation.
He hid in the dark, holding his breath and concentrating, and soon he keenly sensed that the demonic energy in the city was beginning to become disturbed.
The remaining demon masters finally discovered something unusual and started to catch fish in troubled waters. If they waited any longer, the city gates would definitely be blocked.
Qi Qing frowned.
Fortunately, before the city gates were closed, several small figures finally arrived at the agreed location one after another.
“——Go!” The last one to fall was terrified, almost unable to breathe, and could only hoarsely shout out this one word: “Go!”
A cold demonic energy suddenly shot out.
Immediately afterwards, a long sword wrapped in purple-black light came through the air, just brushing past the corner of the child's clothes and nailing the place where he had stood a second ago.
No blood was shed, but the blade vibrated and made a humming sound of dissatisfaction, then flew into the air, ready to chop down again!
“clang!”
An ice sword appeared out of nowhere and rushed forward to meet it.
Qi Qinghu glanced at the child and suddenly felt nervous: "Where's the one in the west?"
One missing!
The long sword shook again, and the terrifying force made Qi Qing's palm numb, so he had to withdraw his sword and retreat.
The chaos in front of him dissipated, demonic energy filled the air, and a huge figure gradually solidified.
"You ants dare to stir up trouble in the Soul Abyss?"
The black and purple figure looked down from above, his gaze intimidating without even being angry, and his imposing power pressing down like a mountain.
Qi Qing's pupils suddenly shrank - he had planned everything, but he hadn't expected that the demon clan would send out an elder at the first opportunity just to be safe!
Who uses a dragon-slaying knife to kill chickens? !
No moral ethics!
He cursed in his heart. Although the person in front of him was only a projection of a clone, the huge difference in cultivation level could not be faked.
As the black shadow fully revealed itself, the restless demonic energy in the city was forcibly suppressed, and the city gate made a heavy "click" sound, and was about to be closed.
This is to catch the turtle in the jar.
Qi Qing's heart sank slightly. He threw the child beside him far away and shouted, "Run!"
The long sword chopped down again with a killing force, and the eerie demonic energy was like a chain that bound Qi Qing's ankles, leaving him with no way to escape.
In the moment when the coldness enveloped him, Qi Qing closed his eyes, gritted his teeth and opened the blind box in his hand.
It is said that sincerity will bring good luck. It seems that the east wind he brought is no longer blowing. Can you send another east wind?
It’s best to have the kind that can attack at a lower dimension.
The moment the box was opened, time seemed to stand still, and the demonic energy, sword flashes, and shouts of killing all froze together.
——Done?
The young man hesitantly opened his eyes.
After seeing what was in the box, Qi Qing was speechless.
According to his idea, he should have casually summoned another meaning of "East Wind" from the blind box, and added the cool sentence: "Sir, times have changed!"
But I don't know if it was because he wasn't sincere enough in calling for it, or if there was no such thing in the box. Anyway, through the crack that was opened, I could indeed feel the breath of wind.
The bad news is that this wind... seems to have nothing to do with the east wind.
Qi Qing took a quick look and immediately threw the box and the wind out, then turned around and ran for his life: "——Run!"
He picked up the little doll that was almost blown into the sky, and without looking back, he fled the scene as fast as he could.
Wrong decision!
——Why is it a super typhoon? !
In an instant, the sky and the earth changed color, and the violent wind dragon swept through the city with overwhelming force, causing a devastating attack.
…
At the same time, the front line.
A hundred miles away from the Soul Abyss, the two armies finally met on a narrow road.
The monks never expected that the demons, who were expected to be evil and weak, not only did not retreat and defend themselves, but also dared to show up.
As soon as the two sides met, they immediately fought to the death. Spiritual and demonic energy exploded everywhere like crazy, making loud bangs and turning the wilderness into a mess.
But after the fierce battle, both sides quickly calmed down, realized that no one would gain anything, and sounded the call to call off the troops. Both sides tacitly retreated ten miles each, falling into a brief stalemate.
Inside the tent, the young man in black sat alone with his eyes downcast, wiping his sword patiently. The noisy sound coming from outside the tent clearly indicated that this plan was not going well.
He felt inexplicably happy, curled his lips, and a demonic shadow silently formed behind him.
"Young Master." He said sinisterly, "Why didn't you take action just now?"
Yue Ji didn't even raise his head and sneered: "He didn't give any orders. Did I get kicked in the head by a donkey? Do I have to cause trouble for myself?"
After he wiped the sword, he flicked the blade lightly, and a clear and melodious sound rang out in the tent.
"How?" Yue Ji gestured to the demon shadow.
"It's a good sword." Mo Ying said slowly, "Since you don't want to cause trouble, why are you sharpening the sword now?"
The atmosphere suddenly froze.
The young man in black glanced at him coldly, sheathed his sword, and said in a cold voice: "What does it have to do with you?"
"As the most loyal shadow to the master, how can it be unrelated to me?" The demon shadow did not give in, and raised his tone meaningfully: "You'd better not think of taking action on your own."
Yue Ji narrowed his eyes and sneered, "After being a lackey for hundreds of years, do you really think you are the demon clan's watchdog? Do you remember who you are?"
He held the sword horizontally and stood up suddenly.
"Of course I remember."
The demon shadow suddenly laughed softly, and as he laughed, he reached out his hand to Yue Ji: "Give it to me."
Yue Ji's face darkened slightly and he tightened his grip, but the other end of the scabbard had been grasped by the demon shadow, who exerted force secretly, with such force that it could actually compete with him.
"Because you remember, you want to give it to me."
The demon looked at him, his voice filled with an unprecedented solemnity: "...I am the former right protector of the Mirage Clan. I have been away from home for more than 312 years. I have returned today to report to the young master."
Yue Ji was stunned and just stood there.
A long wind blew outside the tent, and the sky gradually brightened. It was a sunrise that had never appeared in the Soul Abyss, and it was also a dawn that countless mirages had never seen until their death.
The young man in black had a complicated look in his eyes: "You never promised to be loyal to me."
Mo Ying said calmly: "Yes, I have been a watchdog for so many years, and I really haven't done anything for the Mirage Clan. The only thing I'm thankful for is that I saved the young master back then."
Yue Ji looked at him steadily.
"I said, when the young master becomes the next Demon Lord, you can command me at will." The demon shadow smiled, knelt on one knee, and let out a long sigh.
"——Congratulations, young master, you are finally about to succeed."
After saying that, he slowly and without giving any chance for rejection pulled out the sword from the black-clothed young man's hand.
Yue Ji opened his mouth: "You..."
Facing the rising sun outside the tent, Mo Ying said softly, "Young Master, goodbye."
Even though everyone knows that this departure will be a farewell forever.
Yue Ji clenched and unclenched his fingers, trying to stop him when he suddenly heard an earth-shaking noise in his ears.
He suddenly opened the tent and looked behind, and saw several figures flying towards him from the direction of the Soul Abyss.
The figure was moving at an extremely fast speed. It took only a few breaths for it to transform from a small black dot into a complete human form. It was extremely fast.
The leader in blue was particularly eye-catching. Qi Qing almost crawled over and when he saw him, he shouted at the top of his lungs: "Run! Run! The typhoon is coming!"
