Chapter 351: Sky-covering Mirror
"Junior sister, junior sister..."
Seeing that no one moved, Su Xun pulled her ear and shouted, "Junior Sister..."
The sudden voice startled Nan Xiao, and he slapped his hand away. "Fourth Brother, just speak when you say so. Don't be so loud."
It made her eardrums hurt.
"How dare you say that? I called you so many times but you ignored me. What are you thinking about so intently?"
Nan Xiao: "I was just thinking about what Senior Brother said."
"Since these things were put there intentionally, then the innocent monsters and ghosts in the ghost world that are now going crazy on the island, are they also related to the person who put them there?"
"Most likely."
Nan Xiao humbly asked, "Who are the people behind this, and what is their purpose?"
Su Xun hesitated to speak, gritted his teeth, forced a smile, and squeezed out a few words: "Junior Sister, you did it on purpose."
He knew the devil, he was just following her words.
Nan Xiao smiled and said, "My fourth brother is so smart, he must know."
Su Xun rolled his eyes and walked away.
Lu Huai stepped forward and held Nan Xiao's hand. He looked at her intently and tenderly, and said softly, "Xiaoxiao, don't think about it. Now that it has happened, just face it. In this world, there is no such thing as a dead end."
His voice was low and powerful, like a spring breeze, gently blowing away the haze in Nan Xiao's heart.
Nan Xiao held his hand tighter and said with a smile, "You're right."
No matter whether it is a heaven-falling or man-made event, they are all together as brothers and sisters, so what is there to be afraid of?
Ye Wumian, who was not far away, shook his head and said to Jiang Xia, "Big Brother, look at these two. They are so clingy. I can't stand it."
"Third Junior Brother, are you looking for one too?"
Ye Wumian quickly hugged his spirit sword tightly, shaking his head like a rattle: "No, no, I only want to live with my spirit sword in this life."
The Taoist partner will only affect the speed at which he draws the sword.
Jiang Xia chuckled and said, "Let's go."
After all, this place is quite dangerous and accidents could easily happen if you stay there for too long.
Ye Wumian told Jiang Xia about Xiao Ling's disappearance.
"Big Brother..."
Jiang Xia sighed, no one is worry-free.
He released the spiritual energy around him, instantly covering the surrounding area.
After a while, Xiao Ling appeared from where she disappeared. In her arms was a pile of bones that had just been disassembled, and she was holding a bone in her mouth, chewing it.
"Thank you, Senior Brother."
Nan Xiao threw Xiao Ling into the air and turned back to deal with her.
The group's journey back was not smooth. They encountered many attacks from monsters. Even with Bai Cheng, their friend from monsters, there was no way to protect everyone from being attacked.
Fortunately, Zhou Shiqing and Jiang Xia are extremely powerful, and they can escape even if they are surrounded by dozens of high-level monsters at the same time. The remaining little monsters will not be able to stop them.
…
Palace in the clouds.
The Ghost King felt that his clone was dismantled again.
But at this moment he was more excited than angry.
A pair of eyes were greedily locked on the young man in the picture.
The innate Tao body.
Hahaha, I didn’t expect that there was a congenital Taoist body hidden among this group of human disciples.
A body tempered with the essence and blood of the innate Taoist body will definitely be of great use.
Elder Zhao: "Now all the disciples have been driven into the formation area. The Heaven-Blocking Mirror can only be used once. We have seven days. We must hurry, otherwise if the Heavenly Dao finds us, we will all die."
He looked at the Demon King, or to be more precise, he looked at the girl in the Demon King's arms.
"Saint, only you can use the Heaven-Blocking Mirror. I'll trouble you with what I'm going to do next."
As he spoke, Elder Zhao waved his hand, and the mirror with an ominous aura inside floated in front of Shen Chaochao.
Shen Chaozhao looked in the mirror, hesitating for once.
Tell her directly that once she holds it, there will be no turning back.
"Must...it be me?" Shen Chaochao looked up at the Demon King.
The demon king touched her head, his eyes full of doting and tenderness.
"Don't be afraid, Chao Chao. No matter what happens, I will protect you."
The Demon King's words were the same as usual, but Shen Chaochao was still uneasy.
She turned to look at Mingye who was drinking, her eyes were wet, and I felt pity for her.
I hope he can help her again.
Akeno ignored it and continued drinking his.
The path... was chosen by her.
He also gave her a chance.
Not getting a response, Shen Chaozhao slowly clenched the fists hidden in his sleeves.
She whispered, "Ah Heng, you will help me kill them, right?"
Ah Heng is the name of the demon king.
"Of course, those you want to kill are all my enemies."
"Will I die?"
The demon king answered quickly, without hesitation: "As long as I am here, you will not die."
Shen Chaochao lowered her head and did not see the Demon King's expression when he answered her question. There was no admiration or pity, only indifference.
"good."
Shen Chaochao has made a decision.
She knew that the Demon King was unreliable.
But... as long as I can kill Nan Xiao, what does the price I pay matter?
Over the years, she had been kept by the Demon King. She had thought that the cultivation resources in the upper realm would be better, and that her spiritual roots and cultivation would have a chance to recover, so that she could greatly increase her cultivation and be far ahead. When Nan Xiao and the others ascended, she would personally avenge them.
But in the end, she was nothing more than a captive canary, becoming the cauldron for the Demon King's cultivation. Her spiritual roots hadn't recovered, and the Demon King had forcibly taken over a body for her. While this body allowed her to cultivate, her soul never fully integrated with it, and each time she cultivated, she endured excruciating pain, as if her soul was being torn apart.
The stronger the demon king is, the weaker her soul is.
Shen Chaochao knew that every time she helped the Demon King practice, she would become weaker.
But she couldn't go back, so she could only hold on to the Demon King tightly as her only support.
Shen Chaozhao reached out and grasped the Sky-covering Mirror, the hatred in his eyes becoming more ferocious.
Even if she died, she would take Nan Xiao with her.
How could she have such a smooth cultivation journey and a bright future? But she, with her spiritual roots destroyed, her cultivation completely wasted, deserted by everyone, ended up in such a state!
She was unwilling.
This should be Nan Xiao's ending, not hers.
The demon king's voice was tinged with laughter, and he coaxed gently, "Chao Chao, do as I teach you."
"Okay." Shen Chaozhao nodded obediently.
If it weren't for the emotions surging in her eyes, one would have thought she was a dull and well-behaved wooden beauty.
Shen Chaochao endured the pain in his soul and poured all his spiritual power into the Sky-covering Mirror.
An inky halo suddenly rose from the mirror surface, slowly spreading upwards with a sense of deathly silence that swallowed everything.
As spiritual power continued to flow in, the shadows quickly thickened and expanded, gradually wrapping around and covering the originally clear sky.
The light on Qihua Island dimmed at a speed visible to the naked eye. The sounds of wind and insects seemed to be strangled by this force, and the surroundings fell into an eerie silence.
Shen Chaochao could clearly feel that the power emanating from the mirror was like a black cloth covering the eyes of the Heavenly Dao, completely isolating this world from the Heavenly Dao's gaze.
She stared at the inky barrier, blood trickling from her lips as she chuckled, "It's done."
