She wants us to kill each other.
The two flew into the air and drove away from this place. Cong Mo's figure was gradually covered by thick fog and became more and more blurred.
Leng Mo then regretted leaving her there alone, "Master, Xiao Mo..."
"Don't worry." The old man flew upwards, standing in mid-air. "We should be safe here."
He patted Leng Can's hand, "Cong Mo, are you still worried? She never loses her mind when doing things. Since she lets you and me go, she must be sure. If you and I stay there, not only will we not be able to help, but we will also cause more trouble."
"There are so many zombies, and they look so ugly." Leng Can was worried. Just now, when Cong Mo stood in front of the protective shield, he was almost scared to death when the zombie's face appeared. "Xiao Mo will be scared."
"Heh..." The old man had never thought that he would think this way and found it amusing for a moment. "Since I met Cong Mo, the only time she was scared was when you... left."
At this moment, Cong Mo flew backwards, and the talisman paper burning with blue flames was suspended in the air beside his shoulder. He opened his hands and formed a seal. The seal gradually broke away from his palms and stood alone on the ground, expanding vertically and horizontally to form an encirclement that was twice as large as the original protective shield.
Cong Mo raised his arm and snapped his fingers, "Together."
Subsequently, the encirclement began to merge upwards and eventually reached its peak.
The talisman paper burning with blue flames fell back into his fingers. Cong Mo raised the corners of his lips slightly and casually threw it into the encirclement.
The small blue color instantly evaporated violently, and a hot red burst out from the blue flame, burning towards the small encirclement inside at an extremely fast speed.
With a "swish" sound.
The encirclement was broken, and the zombies inside ran towards Congmo at an extremely fast speed, but they were blocked by the outer encirclement. They could only scratch with their sharp nails, but it was useless. Wherever they passed, they encountered blue flames. Just a little bit, and the flames spread all over their bodies. The hungry roars turned into painful wails, one after another, sad and desolate.
Cong Mo was flying his sword in the air far away, as if staying out of the matter. His thin figure did not match his cold face. The faint smile on the corner of his lips made him look more like a demon climbing up from hell. The blue flames spread across her dark eyes like beautiful flowers in full bloom, unable to awaken a trace of pity in her.
It was as if... everything had nothing to do with her, those who were burned to death were just lifeless puppets, and she was just admiring her own masterpiece.
She has no emotions and no mercy. She will only choose the most appropriate and reasonable way to solve the problem, whether it is death or life.
"Help!"
Suddenly, a shout called her back.
Cong Mo cast a talisman that passed before her eyes, and her vision was magnified and distanced. Among the burning corpses, she saw a woman covered in dirt crawling out from the ground. She was choked by the smoke and fell to her knees, coughing.
She had never thought that there were still people alive here. She quickly flew in on her sword, killing a zombie with one blow. She quickly went to the woman and saw the red lines on her face. Cong Mo asked, "Are you conscious?"
The woman held on to the ground and was unable to answer her. She just coughed hard, as if she wanted to cough out everything in her stomach. The blood that was wiped from the back of her hand was black.
"Trouble..." Seeing that she didn't answer, Cong Mo became impatient and walked around behind her. With a clean and sharp palm strike, he knocked her unconscious. Before the woman fell, he hugged her. From close up, he could see the deep wrinkles on her face. Cong Mo placed the talisman on her forehead, "...Whether you can survive depends on your luck."
The talisman on her forehead quickly dissipated, and Cong Mo then put a talisman on her chest, flew out of the barrier, stood in the air, and waited for all the zombies to be burned to ashes.
"Xiao Mo!" Leng Can looked back frequently at the direction he came from. After seeing the smoke that quickly dissipated, Cong Mo's figure soon appeared in front of him. He excitedly pulled the old man and almost stepped on air, pulling the old man down with him.
"What's the hurry?" The old man slapped him on the back.
Leng Can was just about to complain to Cong Mo when he saw her driving towards them with a woman in her arms.
"What is this?" The old man looked at the woman in her arms. There was a talisman paper pasted by Cong Mo on her chest. Her cheeks and neck were covered with large red blood vessels, but her skin was a normal color, as if she had just turned into a zombie not long ago.
"When the zombies burned, this girl crawled out of the ground." The paper on her chest turned to ashes, but the veins on the woman's face did not dissipate. Cong Mo conjured two more pieces of paper and placed them on her forehead and chest respectively. "Purify these places, and the evil spirit will escape and find another host. These two pieces of paper can control her movements. She should still have human consciousness, but the evil spirit accumulated in her body is the same as other zombies. It will take a long time to purify it before it dissipates."
"I'll need your gourd when I get back."
Yi immediately responded from his sword, "Give it to me when you get back."
"Why is this happening?" Leng Can tugged at the old woman's sleeve, not daring to look at the woman in her arms. "Half human, half zombie?"
"That's true." Cong Mo nodded, "But this state can't be maintained completely. There's no room for two tigers in one mountain. She will eventually become a walking corpse."
"Forget it." The old man said, "Can the village be destroyed?"
"Yes." Cong Mo replied, "I checked and nothing was missed."
"Okay." Qing Yi turned around on his sword, "Let's go back to the palace first and inform His Majesty about this."
By the time they returned to the capital, it was already dark.
Cong Mo covered the woman in his arms with clothes, and they entered the palace together.
"So fast?" The Emperor had not expected them to be so quick. He hurriedly ordered the rooms to be cleaned up and the finest food to be prepared. "The general has his men patrolling the streets, fearing any trouble."
Cong Mo carried the girl and went to the room with Yu, leaving the old man Qing Yi and Leng Can to discuss the matter there.
"They are going to..."
"Save a woman." Leng Can was so hungry that he didn't even care about etiquette. He picked a grape and put it into his mouth. "Half human, half zombie, if you can save her, you should know more."
"We've already wiped out that village. If there's no other source of resentment, and the source of the resentment is destroyed, the zombie situation should gradually decrease. As long as we keep it under control, these kinds of incidents and other strange happenings won't happen again," said the elder. "But we still need to be on guard for a while. There's still a lot we can't figure out, and we're investigating further to find the truth."
"It's a big step forward, and I owe you all a huge thank you." The Emperor raised his glass in response. "Without your help, the consequences would be unimaginable. Today, I'll serve tea instead of wine. Thank you all."
The two of them also raised their glasses, and the porcelain cups clinked together, with a crisp "bang" sound, representing the happy end of the event.
At this moment, Cong Mo came to a secluded room and put the woman on the couch. The two talismans were about to dissipate.
"The demonic energy in her body is too strong and difficult to cure."
"Let me try." He pulled out the gourd from his waist, pointed the gourd mouth at the center of the woman's collarbone, and chanted a spell, "Fixed."
The gourd was fixed on top, and he put his two fingers together, drawing out the spiritual power and attaching it to the gourd, "Suck!"
The gourd emitted a spiritual light, and the woman immediately trembled all over. She suddenly opened her eyes, and her pure white pupils gradually turned black. The red blood vessels on her skin moved towards the center of her collarbone and slid into the gourd.
But after a while, the lines on the skin almost disappeared, the woman's eyes returned to normal, and she closed her eyes again. The gourd half fell down, and Cong Mo was quick to catch it and hold it in his hands.
Xi's face turned pale and he stumbled backwards. Cong Mo hurriedly supported him, "Brother, are you okay?"
"It's okay." He shook his head, but he couldn't move his body, so he could only lean on Cong Mo to stand. "Help me sit down."
"Okay." Cong Mo helped him sit on the wooden stool, poured him a cup of tea, and put the gourd on the table.
He took a sip, and the tea rolled down his throat, making him feel better. "Go check and see if there's still any demonic energy in her body."
"Hmm." Cong Mo raised his hand to cover the pulse at her neck. The spiritual power moved, and it only lit up for a moment before going out. "It's gone, but there's no way of knowing when it will wake up. The evil energy has been attached to the body for too long. Even if it wakes up, the body will probably be extremely weak."
"Junior sister." Xi looked at the gourd with a heavy expression, "This girl has spiritual power within her body."
"She is from Xianshan."
"How could I not know that a person was missing from the Immortal Mountain for no reason?" Cong Mo sat down next to him, "So that's it..."
“…Xianshan did it on purpose.” Leng Can said.
The old man clenched the porcelain cup tightly, and a murderous look flashed in his eyes.
"If we had intervened earlier, those people in the village could have survived." If the old man Qingyi hadn't stopped him, Leng Can would have almost slammed the table and stood up. "This is simply too much! What exactly does the Immortal Mountain want to do? Isn't its mission to protect the world? What's the point of destroying a village and killing so many people?"
The emperor already knew about the encirclement of the village, and could only shake his head helplessly. "After this incident, Master Qing, what are your thoughts?"
"If this was truly done by Xianshan, then Xianshan must be held responsible. Otherwise, so many people, all coming to protect the people of the world, including many heroes, would not have done this willingly." The old man speculated, "Or perhaps all of this... has nothing to do with Xianshan."
"Spiritual power and demonic energy check and balance each other, so after that place was burned, the lock of the cellar was opened and she escaped from the cellar. Her spiritual power had already evaporated in the cellar. When she got outside, the demonic energy stimulated and interfered with it, impacting her spiritual power, causing her changes to accelerate, and the zombies changed rapidly." said Xi.
Things were getting weirder and weirder. Cong Mo rubbed his chin and put a talisman on the woman's forehead. "A person with spiritual power is not easy to control. You kept her locked up for so long because you knew we would take this step. You let her out and let her be hit by the demonic energy."
He clenched his fists, "So that we can know the hand of the immortal mountain in this."
Cong Mo placed the porcelain cup gently on the table. "They captured this person because they didn't want her to die."
"This is a bait. Someone is deliberately trying to make us discover Xianshan's fault."
Cong Mo raised his head, "She wants us to fight among ourselves."
Leng Can slammed the table and stood up, "She wants us to kill each other."
